"She intervened for the Yi Clan and killed many from the Gong Clan. Could it be that she is refining the Source of Demonic Magic?"
Li An speculated again.
However, these are all matters that cannot be proven.
Just because it cannot be proven doesn’t an Li An cannot manipulate it to so advantage.
He thought for a mont; since what he was planning would eventually beco a huge commotion, why not involve Shangguan Shengxian as well? Causing her so trouble would only be beneficial to Li An!
He retrieved an item from the Immortal Coffin.
It was a green jade hairpin.
This item was given to him by Shangguan Xiaoxiao. When he was on Nanfu Island, before the Grand Immortal Ceremony, Shangguan Xiaoxiao had co to see him, telling him that she had a fight with her sister, and this hairpin was Shangguan Xiaoxiao’s "spoils of war."
Li An accepted it casually at the ti, never expecting it to have such a significant purpose now!
Following this, Li An began to study his plan.
His current goal was to create an Array, using the Anomalous Qi from Lady Yi’s grave as the guide, eventually allowing him to activate the Array at will and cause the teapot lid to unleash its fury once more—just like it did on Nanfu Island.
Li An’s current skill in Array techniques was still far from reaching the level of those Dao Sect Immortals who ticulously crafted on Nanfu Island. But fortunately, his requirents were relatively low; he just needed to guide the teapot lid to autonomously absorb the Anomalous Qi from the grave, and then find a suitable thod to activate it.
With the experience from Nanfu Island and the many mories gained from Lady Yi, it wasn’t too difficult. Li An pondered deeply, and soon had a breakthrough, but he still lacked enough materials for the Array, making it difficult to proceed imdiately.
"I’ll return to the Dao Sect first."
Li An made an imdiate decision.
The arrangents on Giant Tomb Island were not urgent for the ti being; they would have to wait until after the second great change in Heaven and Earth, when the third great change was approaching. Only then would he be able to seize the timing more accurately.
He needed to prepare more items before the great changes in Heaven and Earth, such as higher-level Array materials, Talisman materials, and so on...
At the very least, a Spirit Vein of high enough grade, preferably one containing a Grotto Heaven and Blessed Land!
Although Li An’s cultivation did not require a Grotto Heaven and Blessed Land, such things were still very precious. In the future, when the Spirit Realm becos a land of anomalies, these Grotto Heavens and Blessed Lands would likely be affected; pursuing orthodox Immortal Dao would beco extrely difficult then.
Having one stored in the Immortal Coffin, wouldn’t that be wonderful?
Over the years, the Cyan Fla Divine Sparrow has been hiding in the small world within the Immortal Coffin to cultivate, and its cultivation realm has long since reached Divinity Transformation Perfection. However, due to the insufficient grade of the Spirit Vein, it is difficult to progress any further.
The great changes in Heaven and Earth, when people are in panic and chaos, is the best ti for him to seize this item. Once anomalies descend and dominate the Spirit Realm, it would beco extrely difficult to seize it.
He imdiately left the tomb, and upon departure, cleared the surroundings of Giant Tomb Island thoroughly. This ti, he left behind a couple of Arrays, sealing the area to prevent the aura of Giant Tomb Island from leaking out.
He had wanted to do this before, but with Lady Yi on the island, he feared being discovered, which would result in more harm than good. Now that Giant Tomb Island was under his control, he naturally had no such concerns.
Then, he left this sea region and headed towards Spirit Realm New Continent.
Along the way, he pondered the scrutiny he might encounter after returning to the Dao Sect.
After all, during that battle back then, Immortal Mountain Island sank directly, and even Tianchenzi self-destructed, yet Li An survived. How would he explain that?
How to convince the Dao Sect?
He prepared thoroughly in advance for each scenario.
In fact, he knew that no matter how well-prepared he was, suspicion would still arise. But his confidence lay in two individuals:
Taiqingzi, Xiang Yuntian!
Taiqingzi’s plan, which had finally co to fruition, Shangguan Xiaoxiao had finally infiltrated the anomalies; he would not target Li An, and might even assist Li An in passing through at a higher level.
After all, he knew about the relationship between Shangguan Xiaoxiao and Li An. If Li An was uncovered, wouldn’t his plan also collapse?
As for Xiang Yuntian, he was a crucial figure in the Dao Sect’s "Escape Plan," with a significant voice in the Dao Sect; anyone attempting to act against Li An would not have his acquiescence.
With this assurance, Li An dared to return to the Dao Sect!
...
A day later.
Li An landed again on the land of the New Continent.
A thousand years had passed, and returning to familiar ground gave Li An a feeling of being in another lifeti. The present land of the New Continent had experienced countless changes over a millennium; Immortal Cities had collapsed and been rebuilt, while the major forces behind them had shifted several tis. There were few places he could recognize now.
He made a trip through the Primordial Spirit Realm, visiting the old Evil Spirit Lake, only to find that the place where he once secluded himself for cultivation had now beco a backyard garden for a branch of the Five Elents Sect. The power he had established at Evil Spirit Lake back then was nowhere to be found.
Through a little inquiry, he learned that, hundreds of years ago, the old ancestor of Evil Spirit Lake, Li Shuangshuang, had passed away. Her power waned several tis afterward, and eventually, even the ancestral land was occupied by others. After nurous twists and turns, it ended up as part of a branch of the Five Elents Sect.
As for the descendants of Li Shuangshuang, they were also hard to trace.
Li An had no intention of searching; he just stood there for a long ti.
The years are rciless, and the Great Dao like stone—it is just like this.
The Li Clan was the family of his previous life; in this life, he had once again rescued the direct bloodline, Li Shuangshuang, and rebuilt the Li Clan—but so what? Beneath the vast expanse of ti, even the mightiest forces are like dunes, drifting apart with the wind!
