"Congratulations to you two!"

"Having undergone such a heavenly lightning baptism, from now on, your future is bound to be exceptional."

Yun Qian, Helian Tuxian, and other disciples of the Great Dao stepped forward to congratulate Xiang Yuntian and Gu Canye.

Even as disciples of the Great Dao, they showed no arrogance, and instead, highly regarded Xiang Yuntian and Gu Canye.

Although the two were merely True Disciples, having now entered the Harmonization Dao, they had become mighty figures, standing in the same realm. Moreover, surviving the fourfold heavenly lightning baptism means their future development is surely promising.

"Was it the Immortal Dao material that allowed you two to survive?"

Su Yebai asked.

Gu Canye nodded and said, "Without enough Immortal Dao material, neither of us would have made it!"

The Immortal Dao material obtained from that gigantic wind eye was originally enough for dozens of people!

Now, it’s almost entirely consumed by them.

"Old tortoise, come here, come here, we saved some for you, hahaha..."

Xiang Yuntian laughed heartily. Li An immediately landed on Immortal Island, looking exhausted but smiling as well.

"Here, this last portion is yours!"

Xiang Yuntian handed the ring to Li An.

Li An checked it and found a large chunk of Immortal Dao material remaining.

Clearly, if Xiang Yuntian and Gu Canye had used it all, they would recover faster, but they insisted on saving a significant portion for Li An.

Nearly a third of it!

"Absorb it now, we will guard you. If anyone dares to touch you, I’ll test my sword on them!"

Xiang Yuntian glanced disdainfully at the sky outside Immortal Island.

Outside Immortal Island, Fen Sihai, Lei Tianlan, and others looked incredibly grim.

Now that Xiang Yuntian and Gu Canye have broken through, what’s done is done, and it seems they can only swallow this bitter pill...

"I’m still far from the Harmonization Dao realm, using this Immortal Dao material would be wasteful."

But Li An spoke, saying, "Brother Song, please accept this Immortal Dao material, and if there’s any extra, distribute it on my behalf—"

After saying this, he directly shot the ring to Song Qingsong.

Song Qingsong instinctively caught it, looking doubtful about why Li An would willingly hand over the Immortal Dao material.

"Everyone, I assure you it wasn’t Li An’s intention to seize your opportunities. Now that my two close friends have broken through, I dare not shamelessly hold onto the Immortal Dao material."

"My apologies to everyone—"

Li An spoke loudly, then bowed deeply to Lei Tianlan, Fen Sihai, and others, genuinely sincere!

Everyone was slightly astonished.

"Old tortoise..."

Seeing this, Xiang Yuntian opened his mouth, deeply moved. Li An’s actions clearly showed he harbored no selfish motives and acted solely for the two of them.

Gu Canye added, "In secret realm competitions, it’s naturally about seizing opportunities. If anyone is unhappy and still wants trouble, I’ll take full responsibility."

He looked toward the heroes outside Immortal Island, chewing a blade of grass with a slight smile, saying, "I’ve taken your things, not satisfied?"

He was actively diverting attention from Li An!

Although Li An gave them great opportunities, he incurred the enmity of many... he must show solidarity.

Xiang Yuntian added, "If anyone disagrees, just speak up, I’ll cut you down until you agree!"

Both Sword Cultivators... laid their words.

"Hmph!"

Lei Tianlan snorted, then looked at Song Qingsong, saying, "Song, hand over the Immortal Dao material."

Immortal Dao material was what mattered most.

Song Qingsong hesitated for a moment, saying, "Everyone, there really isn’t any extra Immortal Dao material..."

Before he finished, he suddenly turned and fled—

He chose to do the same as Li An!

To escape, with the Immortal Dao material.

Primarily, witnessing Xiang Yuntian and Gu Canye’s breakthrough made him realize this material could indeed defy destiny’s decrees.

For future breakthroughs, if he could also summon the fourfold heavenly lightning and endure it, his aptitude and everything else would vastly improve!

Thus, he risked it all.

"Brazen fool!"

"Chase him!"

"Don’t let him escape!"

The crowd shouted fiercely.

In just a blink, everyone scattered, and Tan Qingxue only cast a distant glance at Li An before leaving without a word.

"Brother Li, with that, you’ve gained no benefits from this expedition..."

On Immortal Island, Gu Canye expressed some regret.

"Why say such things."

Li An smiled slightly, saying, "You’ve become mighty figures; that’s the greatest gain."

"Now that your cultivation has broken through, you should venture deeper for training. After this battle, I’ve gained some insights, and I’ll stay on Immortal Island for further comprehension. You should go quickly." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Xiang Yuntian said, "No, if we leave, those guys might come to trouble you..."

"Don’t worry, I’ll watch over my good disciple,"

At this moment, Shangguan Xiaoxiao spoke, landing beside Li An with a smile, saying, "You both go on, do what you need to do."

Xiang Yuntian, seeing this, asked in confusion, "Are you really the old tortoise’s master?"

Li An quickly said, "Don’t listen to her nonsense, she’s not my master!"

"If she’s not your master, why is she treating you so well?"

Xiang Yuntian was puzzled, but Gu Canye firmly grasped him, saying, "Isn’t it obvious? Let’s go, let’s go! Don’t be tactless and disturb Brother Li!"

Xiang Yuntian felt muddled but had to leave with Gu Canye.

"You rebellious disciple,"

Shangguan Xiaoxiao stepped forward and grabbed Li An’s cheeks with both hands, pulling them into a pig face, saying, "Not listening, are you? Not acknowledging your master, huh?"

Li An tried to resist, but compared to Shangguan Xiaoxiao, his cultivation was indeed insufficient. She pressed him to the ground, kneading his face for a while, gleaming her shiny tiger teeth, saying, "What did I tell you?"
