Chapter 651: Chapter 315: In a Single Day, Seas Turn to Mulberry Fields
A vast number of living beings perished.
Fortunately, the heroes of Purple Cloud Province, who had seized control of the Spirit Realm, finally began to restore it.
After all, it was their newly crafted land for Blood Medicine, and remaining in chaos was ultimately inappropriate.
Who knows what methods the Exotic Realm used, for on this day, the seawater hovering in the sky suddenly fell back, crashing down into the seabed and stirring up immense splashes.
Another half month passed before the Southern Sea regained a semblance of its original appearance. However, the great calamity of heaven and earth ultimately brought devastating disaster. Except for some creatures long mutated by the eerie aura, almost all other living beings were nearly wiped out.
The seawater roamed within the great ocean, and at this moment, deep within a trench in the ocean floor, inside a broken coral, Li An finally opened his eyes.
His face appeared extremely pale, and there were many horrific wounds on his body.
That day, he had escaped from Mangya Mountain at the cost of his life, but he was severely injured, his vitality nearly extinguished.
Had it not been for that protective Immortal Treasure from the Dao Sect, combined with the defying effects of the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill, he surely wouldn’t have survived.
After leaving, he dragged his grievously wounded body into the Spirit Realm, hid in the Southern Sea, and found someplace secret to hide.
After more than three months of nurturing, he finally recovered about twenty to thirty percent of his strength.
The battle at Mangya Mountain was undoubtedly the most brutal injury he had suffered since he began his cultivation journey!
However, the gains were immense!
He could feel the Hongmeng Immortal Light concealed within the Immortal Coffin, and his heart was filled with excitement.
Immortal Ascension!
This was his key to becoming an Immortal!
Although his current cultivation was merely at the Late-Stage Mahayana and far from Crossing the Tribulation, obtaining the Hongmeng Immortal Light meant he would follow the path to ascension as planned.
His mentor, the Purple Fairy, had repeatedly reminded him of this. He had finally succeeded.
Moreover, this battle tested his own strength.
He was very satisfied with himself!
Accumulating Dao Power over thousands of years, his Great Dao power, though not truly capable of contending with Immortal Dao strength, displayed great resilience. His Great Dao Celestial Waterfall Skill almost entirely blocked the opponent’s primordial spirit attacks!
Finally, with a mighty roar of Time Force, he managed to briefly stun Yi Lingxue, an Immortal Level entity, creating an opportunity to wield the Celestial Corpse Small Sword.
"With my Time Force, plus the Celestial Corpse Small Sword, facing an Immortal without a strong Magical Artifact for protection... I could directly kill them!"
Li An made an assessment.
Of course, battle power aside, survival was paramount, and he should strive to endure.
Constant fighting is not a good thing.
"Now, the Gong Clan has probably already taken over the Dao Sect..."
He pondered for a moment and decided to go today!
After all, the Gong Clan was a backup route he had prepared for himself.
To cultivate in the future, he must hide within the mystery, practicing the mysterious arts openly and refining orthodox Immortal Techniques in secret.
Leaving the Southern Sea, he transformed into the form of a Mysterious Creature and swiftly headed towards the Dao Sect.
Soon, he reached the land. The New Continent was utterly destroyed, and both the Emperor Origin Realm and the Primordial Spirit Realm were mere ruins, the once vacant Immortal Cities now leaving no trace, much of the New Continent turned into sea, and other regions underwent an earth-shattering transformation where plains rose into mountains, and former mountain ranges transformed into vast gorges and abysses...
Just as the Heavenly Dao was broken, the world transformed in a single day!
The world is ever-changing, who could have imagined that not long ago, this land was the golden holy land for cultivation in the Spirit Realm?
All living beings were dead, yet only Li An witnessed this raging sea and endless change.
...
The teleportation array of the Dao Sect left in the Emperor Origin Realm could no longer be traced, so Li An could only rely on his own flight towards Daozhou. The Spirit Realm was vast, the journey long, and even as a Tribulation Crossing Stage abnormal cultivator capable of traversing the void, it would take around ten days.
He traveled across the lands of the Spirit Realm, passing through Five Elements Continent, Sun and Moon Continent, Brahma Continent, and others. The territories of these once great superpowers had now become lands for raising pigs.
He saw the flag of the Yi Clan planted on the land of the Brahma Sect, where Mysterious Creatures appeared, herding the surviving creatures of the Spirit Realm into a designated area, then beginning to build Immortal Cities.
At first, the creatures of the Spirit Realm were utterly terrified, but when the Immortal Cities were built and truly provided countless Immortal Dao Materials and Dao Scriptures for their cultivation, everyone was overjoyed.
"It’s true... The rumors were true. The Exotic Realm did not aim to completely destroy us. On the contrary, we even received preferential treatment and became citizens of the Immortal Cities!"
"This is great..."
"Damn it, those accursed Dao Sect scum kept spreading rumors about the Exotic Realm being cruel and ruthless, but they built Immortal Cities for us, providing so many Immortal Scriptures and Elixirs. This is better than my own parents treating me!"
Regardless of their attitude toward the Exotic Realm, not having to die immediately and receiving such good treatment was a blessing for everyone. They cheered within the Immortal Cities, with some even kneeling down to pay homage to the creatures of the Exotic Realm...
Li An silently watched all of this.
In truth, for most people of the Spirit Realm, perhaps this indeed was a better future.
Instead of struggling to stand and live freely, wouldn’t it be better to lie down and become an Immortal pig?
Even knowing they might be slaughtered in the future, the immediate benefits were far more tempting, weren’t they?
