Chapter 606: Chapter 304: Wife-Slaying 2
There must be some kind of restriction among them, restricting the eleven days.
Upon closer reflection, from setting sights on the Spirit Realm to gradually being able to descend, the eleven days seem like a progressive process. First came the immortal winds of the Southern Sea, various strange storms, and the eruption of Immortal Dao material, crafting a so-called golden era in the Spirit Realm. After batches of immortals appeared, the eleven days could finally briefly manifest in the Mist Sea...
Now, as these "pigs" return to the Spirit Realm, it won’t be long before beings from the Exotic Realm can roam freely across the Spirit Realm lands unrestricted.
That would truly mark the beginning of the catastrophe.
...
Besides the numerous Spirit Realm immortals in the Immortal City, many beings from the Exotic Realm were heading towards the vortex as well. However, they were far from the Immortal City and did not interfere with the return of the Spirit Realm immortals.
Li An seized the opportunity and flew towards the gigantic vortex. As he approached, he felt a tremendous suction pulling him in.
The world spun like traversing through time and space. Even though he had experienced it once before, this time, it still left him feeling dizzy, with a roaring in his ears. When he landed in the Mist Sea, his whole body was numb, and he couldn’t help but vomit.
Crossing between two realms, such enormous pressure and fluctuations were hard to resist even for cultivators in the Mahayana Stage. If not for Li An’s strong physique and vigorous life force, he might have been torn to shreds.
The last time he went into the Exotic Realm with Shangguan Xiaoxiao, he felt no discomfort, purely because Shangguan Xiaoxiao protected him so well.
In fact, Yi Lingwei had given him a protective treasure—a Jade Talisman. Once activated, it could keep him safe and sound, but Li An was cautious and chose not to use it.
After all, Yi Lingwei definitely wanted to know the location of Giant Tomb Island. Who knows if she had done something to the things she gave Li An?
Better safe than sorry.
If she successfully tracked Li An and connected with Lady Yi, Li An wouldn’t even need to choose a burial site; his ashes would likely just be scattered directly.
The waves crashed, cold seawater splashing over him, and Li An smiled as he finally landed.
"Immortal Dao material reappears, charge!"
"Huh, those are the immortals who entered the Exotic Realm earlier, they actually came out!"
"Decades passed, they haven’t died, their cultivation has grown tremendously powerful, it seems they found greater opportunities within!"
Beyond the Mist Sea, countless Spirit Realm cultivators had been waiting, and now they swarmed over.
Many surrounded the immortals emerging from the Exotic Realm, inquiring eagerly, their eyes burning with desire.
Because, these returning immortals had exceptionally strong realms and auras.
Among them were even those who originally had no hope of glimpsing immortality and now had become immortals, how could this not move them?
During the last great defeat of the Dao Sect, few dared to enter the Exotic Realm. Most only sought opportunities within the Mist Sea.
The surroundings were incredibly lively, but Li An just tidied himself up and quietly left.
Throughout the Mist Sea, he seldom saw disciples of the Dao Sect.
Decades had passed, and who knew what the situation in the Spirit Realm was now?
Flying away from the Mist Sea, he soon reached a more secluded area of the sea, found a few cultivators, and inquired about the changes in the Spirit Realm over the years.
During that battle back then, after the great defeat of the Dao Sect, various major forces swarmed to seize Immortal Dao material, while the Dao Sect directly retreated. Since then, they have contracted their defenses, reportedly even recalling those in New Continent to the Main Sect.
For decades, few within the Dao Sect had left it to walk the world.
Clearly, the great defeat had allowed the Dao Sect to completely understand the situation.
The world was so frenzied, relying solely on the Dao Sect, it was impossible to stop it. Forcefully blocking the overwhelming flood could only result in the destruction of the levee and the death of its people.
Have they given up?
Li An didn’t think so.
The high-ranking members of the Dao Sect were not the type to give up after one defeat; Withered Fate, Taiqingzi, and others might have their issues, but they were undoubtedly steadfast and resilient people.
No great flaws in their integrity.
The Dao Sect stayed hidden from worldly matters, but other forces went mad. The Brahma Sect, Five Elements Sect, and other major forces, back then took massive amounts of Immortal Dao material from the Mist Sea. A large number of geniuses emerged, and it is said that within the Brahma Sect, the number of Arhats has now reached the legendary "one hundred and eight."
It is indeed at its peak.
In terms of the number of immortals, the Dao Sect could already be said to have fallen behind other forces.
With major forces like this, the world’s cultivators were even more frenzied. The Southern Sea was bustling with people coming and going endlessly, even reaching a grand state where new immortals appeared daily...
"This is the best era!"
"Golden era, truly a golden era!"
...
Many praised, even if they could not become immortals, with Immortal Dao material, an average person could advance to Nascent Soul, Refining Void, or even Harmonization Dao stages.
"Madness before death?"
Li An sighed lightly.
He stopped pondering too much and instead sought a quiet island reef to settle.
Easily excavating a cave dwelling on the reef, he took out a few items that Yi Lingwei had given him.
Hand them over to Lady Yi? How could that be possible, Li An must check each one thoroughly and ensure there’s no issue first.
First was the so-called "Source of the Demon."
This was a bottle of black liquid, containing mysterious enigmatic substances, simmering gently.
Li An sniffed it lightly, and felt the aura of the substance entering his nose, surprisingly making his Demon Skill feel extremely smooth and the exotic form within him exuberantly joyful. Clearly, this item was quite extraordinary and should have some relation to the Demon Skill.
