Chapter 637: Chapter 312: Seizing the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land
"Actually, you should have left."
In the grand hall, Taiqingzi slightly smiled and spoke to Li An, "Although you are a Supreme, you are still young. You have a bright future, and there is no need to follow us old folks to death."
Although he spoke these words, there was clearly a trace of relief and joy in his eyes.
After all, both he and Withered Fate now held great expectations for Li An. If Li An had really left with the big ship, they would indeed be somewhat dumbfounded.
In fact, Li An had seriously considered it. Given the chaos in the Spirit Realm, escaping to find a pure land to cultivate would be quite ideal...
But after thinking it over, it still seemed inappropriate. First, the mysterious might have already ruled the world. Who knows how long the so-called mysterious pure land can actually protect everyone? Second, if Li An left now, much of his painstaking efforts would be wasted, and he would miss the chance to become immortal!
According to Master Purple Fairy, Hongmeng Immortal Light was becoming increasingly rare in this world. Missing this opportunity would make it incredibly difficult to find it again in the future.
So, he decided to stay!
After all, he still had a path to walk by staying.
"Since we’re all staying, it’s time to make preparations to face the mysterious creatures of the eleven days."
Withered Fate spoke calmly, "Fellow Daoists, right now all the cultivators in the world are in Daozhou. I trouble each of you to lead people to organize a counterattack for the common people."
"Taiqingzi and I will watch over the Main Sect. What do you all think?"
Everyone present nodded in agreement without any doubts.
Those who stayed were prepared to die in battle. It was the same wherever they went.
"Reporting to Withered Fate Supreme,"
At this moment, Li An suddenly stood up, bowed, and said, "I have a suggestion."
Withered Fate said, "Speak."
"Based on my understanding of the Exotic Realm, after they break through the Spirit Realm, they will turn it into a pig farm, with all living beings kept in captivity."
"And the Dao Sect’s one hundred and eight peaks, without exception, are Grotto Heavens and Blessed Lands, and will certainly be seen as the best places for this purpose. By then, the Dao Sect’s mountains and rivers might become a purgatory... So, to preserve the Dao Sect’s purity, I suggest destroying all the Dao Sect’s Grotto Heavens and Blessed Lands!"
Upon hearing this, everyone had a stern look.
Destroy the Dao Sect?
The Grotto Heavens and Blessed Lands on the one hundred and eight main peaks were the foundation of the Dao Sect... Although everyone was prepared to die, they still hesitated about destroying the Dao Sect’s foundation.
The main reason Li An suggested this was... he hoped to take the opportunity to dig out one of the Dao Sect’s Grotto Heavens and hide it in the Immortal Coffin!
He had already acquired countless Dao Sect classics, magical treasures, and talisman resources. What intrigued him most now was this.
After all, the Grotto Heaven and Blessed Land were very important to him, as they could accelerate the cultivation of his Life Nourishing Immortal Skill, and also serve as a hiding place for the Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow in the Immortal Coffin.
Later, when the mysterious arrives, trying to find another will be difficult. All the Grotto Heavens and Blessed Lands will turn into pig farms. On this point, Li An did not deceive them.
There was some displeasure in Taiqingzi’s eyes, clearly not agreeing with Li An’s words, but after hesitating, he remained silent and looked towards Withered Fate.
Withered Fate pondered for a long time, then sighed and said, "The Dao Sect lies in people, not in land. As long as someone is still alive, with the Dao Sect in their heart, then even if the Dao Sect is destroyed, there is still a chance to rebuild it."
"Whether it’s the Spirit Vein or the Grotto Heavens and Blessed Lands, whether to destroy them now is irrelevant. Make your own decisions. If you want to destroy them, just do it. If you can’t bear to, you can leave them."
Everyone nodded.
Li An was also quite pleased. Withered Fate’s words gave him an opportunity to act.
After the meeting dispersed.
After everyone else left, Li An stayed behind and reported to Withered Fate, "Reporting to Withered Fate Supreme... I wish to destroy Celestial Dao Peak."
"Having cultivated here for many years, I cannot bear to see this place become a field of corpses one day..."
After all, Celestial Dao Peak was not just home to him as a Supreme. Withered Fate, Taiqingzi, and even the current Sect Leader Su Yebai were also cultivating on this mountain.
He initially thought Withered Fate would ask more questions or hesitate, but Withered Fate only nodded and said, "Alright."
"Do what you must, we won’t interfere."
Li An was somewhat surprised but didn’t say more. He saluted and left.
"Master, what are his intentions? How does destroying Celestial Dao Peak benefit him?"
Taiqingzi was quite curious.
Withered Fate shook his head and said, "Why do you ask? You and I are close to death, so why pry into the secrets of the living!"
"Since I’ve already decided to make way for him, I might as well be more generous. Letting go of Celestial Dao Peak is one thing. Even if he wanted my head... so what!"
Withered Fate said, "Come, let’s get to work!"
"The great enemy approaches!"
...
After receiving Withered Fate’s permission, Li An immediately set to work.
Having painstakingly trained in the array for many years, he was already thoroughly familiar with the creation of Celestial Dao Peak. He began crafting the array materials.
Time passed quickly, and in just a year and a half, Li An had completed the array to harness the forces of nature!
In fact, he had only created a single white jade array plate. White jade was the top tier nine Dao jade, but the array inscriptions on it were simple.
At the Tribulation Crossing Stage, the array itself is not really important. The focus is on understanding the forces of nature. For instance, a previous Sect Immortal of Dao Sect probably wouldn’t even need this array plate, as he could directly harness the earth’s energy of Celestial Dao Peak with just his hands, using it to slay enemies and more.
