Tan Qingxue was able to reach this step, which actually did not surprise him.
After all, the things Tan Qingxue possesses are highly valued even by soone like Shangguan Xiaoxiao, a giant in the Demon Dao.
Perhaps, what possesses her is the soul of the Demon Emperor and Queen?
Is the current Tan Qingxue still Tan Qingxue?
He sighed slightly in his heart; Tan Qingxue must have already transford into a demon, otherwise, it would be impossible to gain the recognition of the entire Demon Race. The woman from years ago has probably only left a flesh shell now, while the soul has been replaced by the Demon Queen.
...
Inside the great hall, Zhou Libai presented several envelopes, all written by Shee Anqi at different tis. The letters mainly described the progress of the war and inquired about Li An’s cultivation, among other things.
Shee Anqi and her sister’s cultivation progressed rapidly; she also beca a Nascent Soul cultivator. Many True Core cultivators who followed them have crossed that threshold.
In the midst of great disputes, the tempering of cultivators is indeed different.
In contrast, Li An seems to have fallen far behind.
Yet Li An felt calm in his heart; the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill he cultivated was different. It does not rely on combat experiences and insights. It primarily advocates a peaceful, gradual approach. Even if he participated in this war, he might not progress faster than now.
The latest letter, from three months ago, Shee Anqi inford Li An that Demon Queen Jing Chan was going to hold a coronation ceremony in a year to officially lead the Demon Race. She also revealed that once the Demon Race is unified, they might wage war on the Human Race!
Li An pondered for a long ti before simply replying with a brief letter ntioning his situation without delving deeply.
Towards Shee Anqi, he had to maintain so distance.
"Sir, the Rank Four Creation Jade you asked for... finally has a lead."
Gu Xuanting spoke softly, saying: "According to reports from our spies, Mountain Master Zhao has been colluding with the Taiyi Sect over the years. It seems like they want to ask Mountain Master Zhao to find sothing, willing to exchange with Rank Four Creation Jade, Nascent Soul Pill’s main ingredient, and so on."
Upon hearing this, Li An imdiately took interest and inquired carefully.
－－Years ago, Li An had already told Gu Xuanting and Zhou Libai that if another mountain master’s disciples could be developed, then develop more "spies," so as to better grasp the dynamics of other mountain masters.
Mountain Master Zhao, nad Zhao Changkong, is also a True Core cultivator. Like Li An, he chose to stay behind when the Vermilion Bird King’s army set out.
However, this person is not like Li An, who stayed to cultivate cautiously. Li An guessed that the other party might never truly sided with the Demon Race, and naturally wouldn’t serve the Demon Race.
Colluding with the Taiyi Sect of the Human Race now... is evident.
Gu Xuanting and Zhou Libai, after cultivating spies for decades, finally brought him a useful ssage.
"Why would the Taiyi Sect be interested in the Celestial Killer Mountain Range?" Li An continued to ask.
He was aware of the Taiyi Sect as well.
Taiyi Sect and Blood Essence Sect, these two major sects, are the top forces of Xiling Origin Continent. They have had Divinity Transformation stage powers, and Nascent Souls are naturally not lacking.
"I do not know... but, Sir, the Taiyi Sect nowadays isn’t the Taiyi Sect it used to be."
Zhou Libai carefully reported the situation outside the Celestial Killer Mountain Range.
During Li An’s forty years of retreat, Xiling Origin Continent had undergone drastic changes!
Under the leadership of the female emperor, the White Tiger Empress of the Great Li Dynasty, the entire Xiling Origin Continent is unified, and no one refuses to comply. The Blood Essence Sect and Taiyi Sect, after a struggle, eventually also yielded.
Presently, the Great Li Dynasty has beco the world ruler of Xiling Origin Continent, claiming to be the Great Li Empire!
Its power is imnse.
Li An is silently pondering; the White Tiger Empress... should be the White Tiger Master from White Tiger City in the northern Great Li Dynasty, right?
She used to be Shangguan Xiaoxiao’s person, once defying fate, advancing from True Core to Golden Core, definitely a formidable person.
Following Shangguan Shengxian now, her future is indeed bright.
"Recently, more cultivators from the outside have co to the Celestial Killer Mountain Range; it’s not just Mountain Master Zhao that probably has external connections..."
Gu Xuanting said: "So rumors claim that after the Great Li unifies Xiling Origin Continent, the next step is to deal with the Demon Race. So, the hearts within the Celestial Killer Mountain Range are restless..."
Li An felt quite heavy-hearted.
He had fled here to enjoy decades of peace. He would never want a war between the Demon Race and Great Li...
At that ti, he might have to flee again for his life.
The key is that Xiling Origin Continent has been unified by Shangguan Shengxian, and if the Demon Race is destroyed, where else can Li An go? East Tribulation Continent? South Saint Continent? If Shangguan Shengxian can sweep Xiling Origin Continent, what’s to stop him from sweeping the world?
He is now a Golden Core Great Cultivator. To completely hide within the crowd is too difficult.
Unless he does not seek progress and is willing to wait for ti to pass and life to wither away.
Otherwise, if he wants to advance in cultivation, he will inevitably leave traces; the stronger he becos, the more difficult it becos to hide, just like how shallow waters cannot conceal big fish.
Moreover, obviously, people from the Great Li have begun infiltrating the Celestial Killer Mountain Range; the fire has already reached his eyebrows...
At least, he must find a way to stabilize the pure land of the Celestial Killer Mountain Range.
"Sir, what should we do? Should we proactively contact Taiyi Sect over there? Whatever Mountain Master Zhao can offer them, perhaps we can offer as well!"
Gu Xuanting said.
Li An waved his hand and said: "Just keep a watch, don’t startle the snake for now."
"Also, gather more information about the Great Li Empire in the anti—anything will do..."
From now on, be extrely vigilant of the Great Li Empire.
After they departed, Li An first cleared the warehouse, as he had guessed; the warehouse had nothing left.
There weren’t any Spirit Stones left for his use.
