Chapter 783 - 355: Destroying Dao Qian
Li An predicted that Yunxi would meet his demands.
After all, according to the plan of Yunxi and her group, all the cultivators involved with Evergreen Star would die in the end. For Biluo Palace, giving Li An, someone destined to die, more benefits wouldn’t be painful since they would ultimately recover them anyway!
Surely, it is under control.
So for now, it wouldn’t hurt to act greedily.
After leaving, Li An traveled through the void, and after confirming that he wasn’t being followed by anyone from Biluo Palace, he stopped on a desolate piece of cosmic dust.
He intended to refine some talismans here.
Before entering the Space-Time Secret Realm, Li Nianxue had bought him a complete set of Celestial Immortal Level Immortal Talisman Master equipment. He had been prepared for a long time but never had the time to craft them. Now, since he was going to be part of Yunxi’s scheme, having more treasures would, of course, be better.
He opened up a cave dwelling on the dust, calmed his mind, and laid out the Celestial Immortal Level talisman paper.
The talisman paper was no longer "paper," but a kind of "Jade Book" crafted from a special Immortal Dao crystal, crystal clear. The Jade Book was adorned with patterns of the Great Dao, cold and clear, exquisitely beautiful.
The talisman brush was even more precious. Its body was supported by millennia-old Celestial Thunder Bamboo, with feathers from celestial cranes, immortal phoenixes, and other powerful celestial birds, totaling three colors. Held in the hand, it felt as light as nothing, and the aura of the Celestial Thunder Bamboo instantly settled the mind.
Opening the spirit ink box, the blood ink inside was crimson!
The spirit ink that Immortal Talisman Masters used was actually made from the blood of Celestial Immortal level creatures!
Therefore, a set of equipment like this worth ten thousand Immortal Crystals is indeed logical.
He operated his immortal power, with three flowers appearing on his Spirit Platform, black and white qi swirling around his arm, and finally, blue lightning emerged among the three flowers, seemingly nurturing celestial thunder. As the brush touched the paper, the sound of thunder roared.
The brush’s descent shook the heavens, the talismans thunderously formed!
What he intended to create was a powerful category among Celestial Immortal-level talismans—Five Thunders Talisman!
The Five Thunders Talisman originates from a divine power of a great Celestial Immortal, "Five Thunders Striking the Top."
Throughout history, Five Thunders Striking the Top has been regarded as the greatest calamity for cultivators. When cultivators make their oaths, they often invoke this calamity.
In reality, the true Five Thunders Striking the Top is exceedingly terrifying. Neither the divine power of a great Celestial Immortal nor the talisman he was crafting could reach that level, but the fact that it bears the name speaks volumes about this talisman’s power.
Li An fully unleashed his cultivation as a Forbidden Profound Immortal, wielding a sliver of thunder’s power, aiming to construct the rules of creation of the Thunder Dao on the Jade Book...
...
Seven days later.
Li An walked out from the cosmic dust, heading towards Ghost Flame Star.
In those seven days, he crafted five Five Thunders Talismans, but he also wasted a hundred talisman papers.
Even an Immortal Talisman Master is not infallible; the path of talismans is inherently about grasping creation and going against the heavens. That he could create a Celestial Immortal-level talisman as a Profound Immortal was already commendable.
Before long, he reached the star domain where Ghost Flame Star was located. He was very cautious, first making a circle around, then releasing his Divine Sense to repeatedly explore and ensure that Biluo Palace hadn’t set up any plots and that only Yunxi was on the star, before descending.
"So, Yunxi Daoyou, how are you considering my conditions?"
Li An smiled.
Yunxi waved her hand nonchalantly, and a storage ring fell into Li An’s hand. She said, "Everything you wanted is inside."
Li An glanced at it, and his heart was instantly overjoyed. Inside was indeed ten thousand middle-grade Immortal Crystals, stacked into a small mountain. Additionally, there was a promissory note, which clearly stated that Biluo Palace’s Yunxi still owed Gu Nianchen a Taiyi Golden Immortal Treasure and twenty thousand middle-grade Immortal Crystals.
"Thank you—"
Li An accepted the storage ring.
"Can we start now?"
A trace of helplessness flickered in Yunxi’s eyes. If it weren’t for being forced by circumstances, this person dared to make such extravagant demands, almost extortion-level, she wouldn’t have taught him a lesson.
"Of course, how should I proceed?"
"This is the current position of Dao Qian from the Celestial Pearl Sacred Land, Ye Tiancan, and Biyao Fairy from Chenyao Sacred Land. They’ve each obtained some Essence of Time and are in the process of refining it. You can directly strike and seize them one by one."
She waved her hand, and a Jade Talisman landed in Li An’s hand, saying, "With this Jade Talisman, you can also contact me at any time. Don’t worry, though Biluo Palace can’t openly intervene, we won’t watch you truly perish in battle."
Li An nodded, "Alright, farewell then—"
He was quite interested in the so-called Evergreen Star and definitely wanted to explore it. But Evergreen Star was already under the scrutiny of two great Celestial Palaces, and going there recklessly might cause trouble. It might be better to stir up trouble in Evergreen Star first.
Moreover, Li An indeed wanted to spar with the geniuses in those secret realms.
In the past, Li An would have been reluctant to engage in too many fights with others, but the situation was different now.
Firstly, the secrets Shangguan Shengxian told him, along with recent discoveries, made him impatient to improve his strength. After all, hiding and skulking wouldn’t be of any use.
The Fallen Land, Heaven-Devouring Great Demon, and even that person in the Deceit Realm... With these presences, Li An realized he couldn’t peacefully find a place to hunker down and cultivate.
In an era of fierce competition, being at the center of the storm, trying to remain unscathed would only make him more passive, putting his life and death in others’ hands.
It’s better to embrace the chaos actively, for only by improving himself in the chaos can he forge a strength that can withstand everything.
