The Jade Parrot, radiating a seven-colored glow, unexpectedly started talking, which directly shocked Li An!
Wasn’t this a jade sculpture?
He had always thought that the Jade Parrot was rely a chanism at the entrance, which is why he had thought about having Laine destroy it. Unexpectedly, it possessed life...
And it recognized Li An!
This revelation triggered a tidal wave in Li An’s heart.
He recalled those scenes from years ago, when a strange seven-colored parrot led him and six others into this place, then they were swept into the secret realm, and from then on, Li An embarked on a new life...
Could it be that the parrot that appeared in the outside world back then is this Jade Parrot before him?
Was it due to the Jade Parrot’s sche that Li An and the others were able to enter the secret realm back then?
What exactly was its intention in bringing Li An and the others into the secret realm?
"You... you are that parrot from back then?"
While Li An had already confird it, he still tentatively asked.
"Hey, kid, back then, you were just a small True Core with limited potential. Today, you’ve beco a Nascent Soul. Yet, instead of being grateful, you repay with hostility. Such a vicious nature... No wonder the magic inheritance in the secret realm chose you."
"However, your level of cultivation in the Demon Skill is embarrassingly low. Fool, truly a fool..."
The voice from within the Jade Parrot continued, with its red gaze fixed on Li An, making him feel as if he was being seen through.
Yet, Li An shrewdly sensed a critical question in his heart — this mysterious and unpredictable Jade Parrot said that the magic inheritance chose Li An?
But what Li An obtained from this secret realm was clearly the "Life Nourishing Immortal Skill," while the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill on him rely originated from the Demon Sect!
Could it be that this bizarre Jade Parrot hadn’t realized the true details of Li An’s Life Nourishing Immortal Skill?
A thought flashed in Li An’s mind, but he didn’t show any sign of it, and instead asked in a low voice: "Who might you be?"
The Jade Parrot said: "I have chosen you, so you may regard as your master! Just call Master!"
Li An frowned.
"However, now is not the ti for you to be here. Go, find these things, and then co to . By then, I will guide you back into the secret realm, where there are trendous opportunities awaiting you!"
A beam of light shot from the Jade Parrot towards Li An. Instinctively, Li An wanted to block it, but he imdiately realized that in front of this Jade Parrot, he absolutely could not reveal that he mastered the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill, as this might be a top-secret and his greatest trump card!
Li An rely used his normal Soul Power to protect himself, trying to block the light, but to his surprise, his Nascent Soul-level Spiritual Power and Spell were utterly useless — the light penetrated directly into his forehead.
In Li An’s mind, so inexplicable information suddenly appeared, and at the sa ti, a black imprint ford on his Spirit Platform. The imprint made him shiver, as he sensed the scent of destruction.
"You may leave now—"
The Jade Parrot spoke.
Li An, very tense, looked at the Jade Parrot and asked, "What is in my Spirit Platform?"
"It’s the Respect Teacher and Honor the Teaching Mark. What we value most is respecting teachers and valuing teachings. As long as you obediently do as I say, this mark won’t be a problem. If you dare to betray your master, this mark will annihilate your body and soul!"
The Jade Parrot’s words were exceedingly cold, and without asking for Li An’s consent, it assud the role of his master.
Li An’s face turned extrely grim.
"What, you’re unwilling to acknowledge as your master?"
The Jade Parrot said: "Becoming my disciple is not a difficult task, and I will grant you the opportunity to refine the void—"
Li An hesitated for a mont, then gritted his teeth and knelt down, "Thank you, Master. From now on, I will serve you diligently at all costs!"
Given the circumstances, the Jade Parrot was too enigmatic. For now, compliance seed the best course of action.
Only then did the Jade Parrot say: "You’ve left the secret realm for years, why are you only seeking now? Do you intend to be disrespectful towards your master?"
Li An said, "Master, I have heard that the Evil King and the Dao Sect are both searching for you. I feared for your safety, so I intended to destroy the entrance to protect the secret realm. I failed to recognize your true form; please forgive !"
"Dao Sect?"
The Jade Parrot seed to be pondering and said: "That sect is troubleso... Well, I understand, you may go. Those people won’t find ."
It didn’t even ntion the Evil King, apparently deeming him insignificant compared to the Dao Sect.
Hearing this, Li An respectfully stood up and retreated —
Erging from the valley filled with decayed leaves, Li An was covered in cold sweat. What happened in the cave was like a surreal dream. He could hardly believe he was able to leave so easily.
Without any delay, he imdiately fled —
...
And at this mont.
In the cave.
On the stone of black and white, inside the seven-colored Jade Parrot, a spiritual light seed to be moving, and a faint murmur sounded: "I knew that back then, seven people ca. How could one of them be left with only a corpse, with the Primordial Spirit vanishing? Turns out he escaped to the outside world... But how did he manage to get out?"
"Could it be that the demonic corpse helped him? That’s not entirely impossible..."
"...Unfortunately, my true form is not here, and within this kid’s soul fire resides a sleeping soul, which possesses considerable Taoist skills. It’s better not to alert it; thus, I could only leave a mark within him first."
The Jade Parrot’s words seed regretful, its blood-colored gaze watching the outside of the cave, saying:
