"Hmm, go and do sothing for ."
Gong Shanqing said, "You should leave this place, return to the Southern Sea, and carefully investigate the location of Giant Tomb Island. If you find it, I can teach you more advanced techniques in the future, and even gift you a Mysterious Dao Mark, allowing you to truly beco a Mysterious Creature!"
"Gu Fan will obey!"
Li An agreed, then shalessly added, "Sir, my current cultivation level is too low, I would like to first go into the Mist Sea to seek out so Immortal Dao Material..."
"Immortal Dao Material?"
Gong Shanqing sneered, "Those things, I advise you not to touch them, or you will regret it later!"
Li An was taken aback, and said, "Then... can I enter the Exotic Realm to find so mysterious energy?"
Afraid Gong Shanqing might misunderstand, he explained, "Back then, the Dao Spiritual Parrot, Shangguan Shengxian, Evil King, and others all obtained the Mysterious Dao Mark from Giant Tomb Island. They are definitely also searching for it, not to ntion the Southern Sea is overrun with Dao Sect and other forces. I fear encountering them without the ability to protect myself!"
Gong Shanqing was quite annoyed in his heart, knowing that Li An was saying all this to get so benefits from him, truly a greedy person.
But he himself had been heavily bullied within the Gong clan, so what could he give to Li An?
"In five years, the Exotic Realm will descend into the Mist Sea once. If by then you have found so clues, I may allow you to enter the Exotic Realm and grant you so opportunities."
Another empty promise.
Li An, however, was deeply convinced, saying, "Alright, I will go and carry it out－－"
"Hold on－－"
Gong Shanqing suddenly stopped him, placed his hand on Li An’s forehead, and operated a mysterious Dao force, extracting a wisp of Li An’s Primordial Spirit, held it in his hand, and coldly snorted, "Do your work well."
A handle!
Li An’s face looked grim, but he said nothing, just gave a salute, and just as he was about to leave, he suddenly said, "By the way, if I make a discovery, how do I contact you?"
Gong Shanqing threw a grey Jade Pendant to Li An, saying, "Use this to send a ssage to ."
Li An received it with great care and then turned to leave.
He left long after.
Gong Shanqing took out a mysterious pendant from beneath his neck, which seed to be made from a dried human tongue.
"Hmm, the Tongue of Truth didn’t react, it seems the kid didn’t lie to ..."
If Li An uttered even half a lie, the Tongue of Truth would detect the fluctuations in his Primordial Spirit, which was why he didn’t perform Soul Searching on Li An.
"If this kid truly finds Giant Tomb Island for ... then my passive status within the clan could be reversed."
He looked forward to it expectantly.
...
After leaving.
Li An left quickly, then restored his true form.
Success!
He was not mistaken!
He approached Gong Shanqing, betting that the deliberately exposed wisp of mysterious energy would attract the other’s attention.
Gong Shanqing was constrained by the Heavenly Dao of this realm and couldn’t stray far, under such circumstances, he would definitely choose to recruit Li An for his use.
In this way, Li An officially connected with the mysterious beings.
In the future, whether to follow the Gong clan directly or seek other patrons, at least he had options.
"The mysterious technique given by Gong Shanqing is far inferior to the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill. The Immortal Celestial Demon Skill likely has profound roots among the mysterious..."
anwhile, Li An compared a bit.
Each alone, the Primordial Spirit Cauldron Skill, Blood and Flesh lting Furnace Skill, and Yin Yang Demon Furnace Skill are already considered extrely powerful cultivation techniques, but combined into the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill, even mysterious energy can be absorbed and utilized...
And until now, in the entirety of the Spirit Realm, only Li An truly mastered the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill!
Only he combined the three skills into one. Shangguan Xiaoxiao, Shangguan Shengxian, and other Demon Sect leaders had not undergone this process. While the Demon Sect may have so records on the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill, they are certainly incomplete.
They obtained the Mysterious Dao Mark and might have enhanced their demon skills, possibly breaking the restrictions and cultivating all three major skills. However, the three major skills are ultimately just three major skills, difficult to fuse into the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill!
...
He hid the Jade Talisman given by Gong Shanqing externally, then went back to Giant Tomb Island for a while to et Lady Yi, reporting that he found a bone mirror but dared not touch it, asking if it was set by her direct descendants.
Lady Yi solemnly told him it was the enemy’s work, forbidding him from approaching and urging caution, but didn’t disclose much about the Gong clan.
This thwarted Li An’s plan to extract information about the Gong clan from Lady Yi, as she was very cautious!
Li An then left, exiting the burial pit, and swiftly distancing himself.
Leaving Giant Tomb Island, he hurriedly removed his shoes.
On the sole, so mud from Giant Tomb Island had adhered!
In fact, his main goal in returning to Giant Tomb Island was this!
Gong Shanqing wanted clues about Giant Tomb Island, he needed sothing to continue gaining Gong Shanqing’s trust...
Of course, he was not in a hurry to go back to Gong Shanqing, let him wait!
He planned to speak again five years later when the Exotic Realm descended.
Li An’s target was to enter the Exotic Realm at that ti.
Entering the Exotic Realm recklessly was very dangerous, but with Gong Shanqing guiding him then, he would be much safer and could take the opportunity to understand the Exotic Realm, maybe even find Lady Yi’s direct descendants along the way.
It can be said that everything he did was to prepare for entering the Exotic Realm!
He returned near the Dao Sect’s defenses, but didn’t go directly to Wind-Fire Island, instead using his understanding of the Dao Sect’s array, he approached the edge of a neighboring island－－Wind-Thunder Island, and disguised himself as severely injured and unconscious, drifting towards Wind-Thunder Island along the sea...
