Chapter 827 - 369: Destiny Sealed, Karma Settled (Part 3)
The only thing to do now is to remain unchanged in the face of change.
Until the moment of life and death, there is always a chance to survive.
As for this Golden Immortal Level array, although it’s profound, it’s hard to resist a Taiyi Golden Immortal, let alone a Daluo? It’s better to show some compliance.
Hongbo Fairy and Purple Fairy gracefully descended. Li An and Xiang Yuntian, among others, stepped forward. Hongbo Fairy ordered the Daoist Mountain to be tidied up, as it was presently in chaos and disarray, and then she took Li An, Xiang Yuntian, Gu Canye, and others directly to the hall for discussion.
"The revival of the Immortal Wind is about to emerge, which is also a great opportunity for you to make contributions. Only by achieving something in this turmoil can the Dao Sect truly stand firm in the Heavenly Court."
Hongbo Fairy spoke indifferently, her gaze on Li An: "Nephew Li, you have already obtained an opportunity in the Space-Time Secret Realm. The Life Nourishing Immortal Skill is the best in the world, and whether the revival of the Immortal Wind can succeed depends crucially on you."
Li An, hearing this, realized the topic was brought up and replied, "I am not sure what Uncle needs me to do?"
"The source of the revival of the Immortal Wind is on the Taiji Mountain of the Eleventh Heaven."
"However, the deceased place is also aware of this, so they have already sent people to guard it, setting down various seals. The source of the wind eye on Taiji Mountain is blocked, and only you can truly approach it and initiate the revival of the Immortal Wind."
Hongbo Fairy spoke, "I have already discovered that within Taiji Mountain, there lies a secret realm, which may directly lead to the past... known as the Deceit Realm."
"The origin of the mysterious presence of the Thirty-Three Heavens is the Deceit Realm, and the secret place on Taiji Mountain is a direct path to the Era of Eternal Life—inside the Supreme Immortal Palace, the Longevity Immortal Palace, lies the hub of reversing life and death."
"Someone needs to bring an offering, enter the Immortal Palace, maneuver the Wheel of Longevity, unleash vitality, and suppress the mysterious... so the entire world environment will change as a result."
"The Immortal Dao can truly reappear."
"But that Longevity Immortal Palace is incredibly difficult to approach; only with the power of a million years can one enter it..."
Her beautiful eyes stared at Li An, calmly saying, "Nephew, are you willing to undertake this responsibility?"
Li An was contemplating how he should behave.
It seems now that the other party does not intend to directly kill him.
There is still a place to utilize him.
This made him breathe a slight sigh of relief. As long as he wasn’t directly captured or killed, he still had a chance to survive...
He couldn’t help but rise to bow, "This matter is a responsibility I cannot shirk, and I will not fail my mission."
"But what is that offering?"
Hongbo Fairy said, "It’s quite simple, just some blood from mysterious creatures above the Golden Immortal Level. I will have someone go outside to obtain it."
Li An, upon hearing this, suddenly said, "I am willing to personally undertake this task and obtain the offering."
"Oh?" Hongbo Fairy looked at him with a faint smile.
"Reporting to Uncle, as a Supreme of the Dao Sect, I personally witnessed the Dao Sect’s destruction. The blood sea vendetta has not been avenged, and the traitor of the Dao Sect, Leng Rufeng, is still on Purple Cloud Mountain. I once went undercover on Purple Cloud Mountain for a while, being completely familiar with the situation there, so... to avenge the blood feud, I shall slaughter this mountain!"
A look of painful resentment and determination appeared on his face.
Gu Canye and Xiang Yuntian also immediately stood up in response.
"Since that’s the case, we naturally have to go as well!"
"Slaying Leng Rufeng is our lifelong obsession!"
They were quite emotional.
Hongbo Fairy pondered for a moment but did not refuse. Instead, she smiled: "Very well, since that is the case, let’s start with Purple Cloud Mountain. However, your cultivation might make it difficult to level this mountain... so let the talented disciples of various major forces accompany you."
"After all, apart from you, they are also needed for the upcoming journey to Taiji Mountain... after all, only those with extremely strong vitality can stay where the Longevity Immortal Palace is located, and the deceased place has already sent many guards. Some will have to assist you."
"Take this opportunity to practice and harmonize; it will benefit you."
Having said this, she suddenly turned to Purple Fairy beside her and asked, "Sister, do you have any instructions for Li An?"
From start to finish, Purple Fairy had not said a word, her face pale and sickly. Now, as she finally spoke, Li An and the others were quite nervously focused.
Purple Fairy gazed calmly at Li An, with an extremely complicated color seemingly flashing in her beautiful eyes, and then she sighed softly, saying:
"The revival of the Immortal Wind is indeed a panacea for saving the world."
"Since you have cultivated the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill to this extent, it is destined by fate. You have always been contemplative, but as matters stand, there’s no need to overthink and doubt too much. Doing so will bring you more joy."
"You can save the world from peril and leave a beautiful story that will be remembered in history."
"I once bestowed upon you the Daoist name Zangyezi, intending for you to hide amid mysteries and await the right moment, but now that the Immortal Wind has appeared, with light on the horizon, there’s no need to use this name anymore."
"I taught you the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill, but also let you partake in this matter; thus, henceforth, our karma is clear."
Having said this, she continued, "Elder Sister, I have just recovered, my body is not well, I will go rest first."
Hongbo Fairy nodded gently, with a faint smile.
"Alright, Li An, you may also take a few days to prepare."
Li An then stood up to take his leave.
"You old rascal, so you were using the alias Chi Yilan, hiding for so long, you must really be a patient one!"
Exiting the hall, Xiang Yuntian enthusiastically punched Li An in the chest and said cheerfully: "Our Dao Sect’s revival is hopeful, brothers reunited, come, let’s drink thirty thousand cups!"
Gu Canye also said: "Li Brother, we shall not return sober tonight!"
Li An was not in the mood, but he did not refuse and nodded slightly.
That night, the three of them shared their feelings and reminisced about the days in the Dao Sect, with Li An being filled with mixed emotions, thinking back now, he was indeed quite sentimental. Those days in the Dao Sect, when the Dao Sect shielded him from the storms, were truly the most stable period of his life.
They drank until thoroughly drunk before returning, content.
The Dao Sect had long prepared a separate Daoist Palace for him, with Li Qingran appointed as the chief disciple in the palace. After all, when Li An was the Supreme in the Dao Sect, she was the one who served Li An and was a descendent of his, naturally more familiar.
Late at night, Li An was heavily scented with alcohol, sleeping soundly, as if already dreaming.
Yet in his mind, countless thoughts were flashing by...
"Shangguan Shengxian..."
In the tangled web of thoughts, he could only find a path that seemed less like a path of survival.
...
Goodnight.
