In the abyss canyon covered with weeds, it was originally very peaceful and no one cared about it. But at this moment, a powerful force of heaven and earth suddenly emerged. The power of creation from this time and space was extremely murderous, making Li An feel a chill to the bone.
Li An did not hesitate and directly used his magical power of shrinking the earth into an inch to leave.
He wanted to find a place where no one was to survive.
But his spell was not successful - all spells need to be based on the world of the world. At this moment, the world of creation and the avenue of the world do not recognize him and are extremely repulsive to him, so his spells cannot be responded to at all.
Li An's face changed drastically, and he forced to leave, like a ghost, floating in the air.
And in the void, countless forces have been imposed on his body.
At this moment, Li An can no longer be described as a "body". He actually looks like a phantom, like a ghost.
Moreover, if it were other creatures, the canyon was very quiet at this moment. The sun shone on the abandoned statues, and the surrounding vegetation was lush. Some animals were foraging in the canyon. Even when Li An's "phantom" floated by, a group of elks walked leisurely not far from him.
But Li An was in extreme pain.
It was clearly the warm sun that made people feel comfortable, but it fell on him at this moment, but it made him almost spasm with pain. He had the illusion that his skin was burnt and the flames kept stabbing.
In secular rumors, ghosts are afraid of sunlight, and now Li An really experienced it.
He felt that he was almost dying. He floated by with difficulty and saw a lush forest in front of him. There were many giant trees in it, blocking the sunlight. He hurriedly plunged into it.
But he did not rest in peace. From the forest, a chill came, and those big trees seemed to have some kind of magic, as if they were going to swallow Li An.
Li An hurriedly left and saw a stream. He tried to enter it, but when he touched the clear water, he felt icy cold, and the water vapor seemed to turn into needles.
There was no place to escape!
Li An knew very well that the entire space and time, the entire world, was targeting him, so every blade of grass and every tree was a sword, every grain of sand and every stone was a purgatory, and there was no place for him to stay.
He forced himself to hold on, and finally, he found a cave. Li An went directly into it, and then stopped struggling. Instead, he directly swallowed the energy of the world!
His originally ethereal figure was now covered with misty white mist, and the vast energy of creation surged over and sank into the origin of the white mist, as if it had disappeared.
The white mist was evolving, rising, dancing, rotating, compressing, changing color, and condensing.
This process was extremely long.
…
At this moment.
In the canyon that Li An left. A young man appeared in front of a statue. He was very puzzled and muttered, "What's going on? I clearly arrived at the Bone-Erosion Mountain this time, why is there no movement in the Bone-Erosion Array?"
"Is it because the strange realm will disappear completely?"
He was distressed. This was very likely. This time when he entered the strange realm, he clearly felt that the strange realm was about to disappear. Maybe he would never have the chance to explore the Longevity Era again.
What a pity.
"However, if I can study the essence of the Bone-Erosion Array I got last time, it will be enough for me to travel all over Qingyuan Mountain!"
He looked brightly, "I, Xu Yu, will definitely be able to enter Yunluo Fairy Palace!"
...
Time flies.
Twenty years passed in the blink of an eye.
In a cave in a vast forest, there is white fog all year round. A white crow is guarding outside the cave. Occasionally, when there is white fog floating, it will stick its head in to absorb it, but it dare not get too close.
This crow was originally just an ordinary bird, but it has been flying day and night for twenty years. Now its black feathers have turned white, and it looks very magical.
In fact, the white crow has already developed spiritual consciousness. It has achieved the Golden Elixir realm from an ordinary bird just a few years ago, which is amazing.
This place is originally in the wilderness, and there are no powerful spiritual beasts, so it has become the overlord of this place, and no other animal can approach the cave.
In the past twenty years, the white crow has wanted to enter the cave more than once, but every time it approaches, it will feel a creepy breath, which makes it extremely scared. It knows that there must be something dangerous in the cave, so it dare not enter, but it is unwilling to give up.
Every day when the sun rises and the first ray of sunlight penetrates the cave, it is often the time when the fog in the cave fluctuates most violently. Only at this time can the white crow get a little bit of fog. Today, it also stays here, sticks its head into the cave, and prepares to absorb the white fog that belongs to it.
But it stopped on the branch next to the cave, just as it leaned its head inside, a big hand suddenly grabbed it.
"Ga——"
The crow's cry stopped abruptly, and the next moment, the crow was caught in the cave. The crow's eyes showed fear. Its crow eyes scanned around, and saw that there was no trace of white mist in the cave. There was only a young man sitting in the middle.
He was naked, and his skin seemed to be born between heaven and earth, white and crystal clear, not like human flesh, but like the condensation of various essences between heaven and earth. This person had his eyes closed, and his appearance was not handsome, but there was a sense of transcendence, and his long hair fell down, like a brand of avenues.
The crow did not dare to move, and silently stopped in front of this person, waiting for its judgment.
After a long, long time, Li An finally opened his eyes.
His eyes were like stars, bright and clear, more charming than a baby, as if they had never been polluted.
"…Greetings, senior…"
A female voice that was a little slow and filled with fear came, Li An looked at the white crow in front of him calmly, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Nourished by a little overflowing energy, it turned out to be such a good fortune."
Li An gently stroked the white crow's head and said, "Rare, rare..."
The white crow was delighted, as this senior seemed to have no ill will towards her. She was about to say something, but suddenly felt a sharp pain, and her head had been twisted off by Li An!
Li An picked up the bird's corpse and sucked all the blood out of it. In the blink of an eye, this white crow, which had undergone a magical transformation after twenty years of his good fortune, had become a dead body.
Li An looked calm, as this bird absorbed the opportunity of longevity, even if it was just so faint, it was a taboo!
Letting her live would be a hidden danger!
So, just kill her.
If you want to blame someone, you can only blame her for touching something that didn't belong to her.
The hot and fishy bird blood entered Li An's throat, making him feel alive again. He stood up, stretched his body, and let out a long breath.
"With the origin of longevity, I forcefully condensed the energy of the world to form my body... This body is already very extraordinary compared to my original body. Even without the life seed, it is far better than before."
He sensed silently that there was a small millstone in his dantian!
The round millstone looked like a Tai Chi Dao diagram, condensed by black and white energy. At this moment, it was slowly absorbing the faint strange energy in the air, grinding it into some kind of substance, and then absorbing it.
As the millstone grew, Li An's cultivation increased.
"Is this the balance between life and death?"
Li An thought. Over the years, he had comprehended the method of longevity in Huagu Mountain and finally gained something. This was one of the reasons why he dared to break into the world with the body of the dead soul.
Now it has succeeded. The millstone in his body has achieved a certain balance, which can absorb the strange air and the orthodox immortal air. When the two are balanced, his body will not be damaged, and his life cultivation will also increase!
Now his physique may be called the body of immortality!
In fact, although the immortal did not leave any opportunities for Li An directly on Huagu Mountain, the few words he said about immortality are the essence of the Tao. Li An remembered them in his heart and added his understanding to achieve what he has today.
The immortal can be said to be Li An's real guide.
The balance between life and death is immortality!
However, Li An is currently only in its infancy, and of course he needs to continue to practice. This is just a preview of immortality. One day, he will gather the origin of the white fog and sacrifice the entire space and time to truly obtain the power of immortality.
"When I achieve great success in my cultivation, even the Immortal Venerable Changqing and the Immortal Venerable Yunluo will not be as good as me in physique and Taoism!"
Li An is very confident, because he can condense the immortal body and possess the grinding wheel of life and death in his body because he has really died once.
The origin of white mist allows him to master the balance between life and death.
But Immortal Venerable Changqing and Immortal Venerable Yunluo, even if they get the origin of white mist, do not know that this method can condense the immortal body. Even if they guess it, they dare not take the risk.
Because the two great immortals have become each other's number one enemy in a sense. Any change in their state and any weakness will attract the crazy attack of the other side.
"My current cultivation... I have to start from the beginning."
"But the body... should be equivalent to the body of the Golden Immortal, and it should be no less than that of the Taiyi Golden Immortal!"
Li An's heart is complicated.
At that time, his cultivation had reached the perfection of the Great Heavenly Immortal, and his life seed had accumulated power for a million years, which was really rare. However, the Immortal Changqing sacrificed him, and his cultivation, life, life seed... all ceased to exist.
Even if the Immortal had not treated him as another chess piece and made some moves on him in advance, he would not have had a chance to start over again.
However, he was not depressed.
Now he has more potential than before. Not to mention the strength of his body, the method of cultivating the balance of life and death alone is far better than the method of nourishing life and casting immortals. The great art that he can evolve between the grinding wheels of life and death will also be stronger than the various Great Heavenly Immortal arts at that time.
Li An walked out of the cave, found a stream in the forest, took a bath in the waterfall pool, felt the pleasure brought by the cold stream water, and roasted two crocodiles mating in the pool on the way. He peeled off the crocodile skin and made a pair of shoes. He also hunted a deer and made animal skin clothes to wear, avoiding the shame of being naked, and then went down the mountain.
Although he had no cultivation to use, even if a celestial cultivator came, it would be difficult to hurt him with his magic weapons.
He was even more rampant in this forest. On the second day, he encountered a saber-toothed tiger with Nascent Soul cultivation. It wanted to eat Li An, but when it bit Li An, all its sword-like steel teeth were broken, and even its skull was cracked.
There was no problem jumping down from a cliff thousands of feet high. Sometimes, when there was no way forward, he would directly split the rocks and trees with his hands without any effort.
Three days later, Li An entered a small town, sold the tiger skins, tiger bones and other supplies he was carrying, bought some clothes to change into, and ordered some delicacies in a restaurant and ate slowly.
After returning from death, he turned from a dead soul into a real person. At this moment, he felt the fireworks of ordinary food, which made him quite emotional and he didn't eat fast.
"Have you heard? Qingyuan Mountain is going to recruit new members."
"Qingyuan Mountain is a famous mountain in our Taiyuan Prefecture. How many years has it not recruited new members? But now, in just thirty years, it is going to recruit new members three times. Is it going to go to war with the Heavenly Court?"
"The last war was three hundred years ago. At that time, the Holy Son of the Holy Land of the Heavenly Court killed everyone. Qingyuan Mountain lost a lot of masters, and even the Golden Immortal powerhouses fell."
In this small town, there are also many cultivators who are hotly discussing various legends. Li An listened silently for a long time and couldn't help sighing.
He stayed on Huagu Mountain for a long time, isolated from the world, and had long forgotten the time. Now he knows that it has been more than four thousand years since the battle at Taiji Mountain.
Time flies, and the world has changed dramatically in the past four thousand years.
After the battle of Taiji Mountain, Yunluo Xianzun and Changqing Xianzun both got a part of the longevity white mist and divided the fairyland into two. Yunluo led the strange domain and established the strange court, while Changqing Xianzun established the new heaven to fight against it.
Many forces in the holy land soared and developed rapidly after the establishment of the new heaven. For example, the quarrying holy land mentioned by everyone was just a famous mountain in the past, but now it has reached a higher level, indicating that a Daluo Jinxian-level strongman has been born in it.
"Over the years, the pressure from the heaven has been increasing!"
"It's all because of the blood sword demon king. If it weren't for him, the entire fairyland would still belong to our strange domain!"
"Be careful, the matter of the blood sword demon king is very important, even the immortals are involved..."
Hearing the four words "blood sword demon king", Li An was stunned for a long time, and then realized that this was... his "name"?
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. But a few people just mentioned it casually. That battle was too far away from now. For many cultivators, the Blood Sword Demon Lord was even just a legendary figure. What they discussed more were the contemporary geniuses.
Occasionally, he heard the names of one or two familiar people. Those who had fought in the Holy Land in the past, almost all of them who survived became powerful figures.
Among the people's conversations, Dao Sect should have developed well and was quite famous in the Heavenly Court, which made him quite relieved.
…
Walking out of the restaurant, Li An was full of confidence and went to Qingyuan Mountain.
Now his cultivation was in urgent need of recovery, and a famous mountain like Qingyuan Mountain was very suitable.
As long as there was enough weird air and fairy air, he was confident that he could recover to the level of a celestial fairy within a few decades. This little time was just a snap of a finger for him.
Qingyuan Mountain was not far from here. It took him more than ten days to reach the foot of the mountain. There were many young people on the road.
"Brother, how about we go together?"
Several young men and women came forward and called him. The leader was a sturdy man who looked quite solid. He took the initiative to introduce himself:
"My name is Chen Zhuang. We are all from ordinary families. You should be one too. We can go together and take care of each other."
Li An smiled and agreed.
"What's your name, brother?"
On the way, everyone introduced themselves to each other. Li An wanted to name himself Gu Changsheng, but he was afraid that this name would bring karma, so he thought: "Xue Jian."
...
"We are definitely not as talented as those children from aristocratic families."
"That's not necessarily true. Do you know what the mountain test is? I heard that it mainly depends on vitality! The stronger the vitality, the more stamina you have for cultivation."
"Hey, as long as I can enter the famous mountain, I can be a chores..."
Everyone chattered, and Li An was quite emotional. He remembered that when he first entered Xuanyang Sect, he was also like this.
But his mood was completely different.
...
