Over the years, in constant comprehension and battles, he had gradually developed several main spells:

Soul-Devouring Sonic Wave Skill, which focuses on Divine Soul attacks, originally came from the Ten Thousand Souls Sect, but now he has integrated the Paradise Skill and Primordial Spirit Cauldron Skill into it, greatly increasing its power. Combined with Li An’s powerful Divine Sense, the effect of the sonic waves in shaking the soul is excellent.

The Four Extinction Skill focuses on Spiritual Power offensives. Many similar spells exist among the Demon Skills, but Li An has always practiced these four moves diligently because they are simple, effective, and their power continues to grow as his realm increases!

Lastly, there is the Immortal Celestial Demon Armor, which is mainly for defense. As his strange body initially formed, the Immortal Celestial Demon Armor is also nearly advancing to become the "Immortal Mysterious Armor."

The Dao Sect actually has many exquisite spells, but those are the orthodox methods, emphasizing innate talent and cannot be achieved overnight, so Li An has understood them over the years but never deeply cultivated them.

For someone like him, lacking in aptitude, the path of evil demons suits him better!

Moreover, he had long understood that as the world changes drastically and the mystique envelopes everything, there’s no need to cultivate the Dao Sect’s Immortal Technique, as there is nowhere to put it to use.

"Harmonization Dao..."

This is his next goal.

Although he had reached the Mahayana Stage on the path of mystique, Li An always regards the Immortal Dao as fundamental!

"Only at Refining Void Perfection now, old turtle you’re really slow..."

After coming out of seclusion, Xiang Yuntian soon arrived, bringing good wine, his mood obviously good, saying, "What you gave is really useful, Old Gu’s aura is gradually improving!"

"Nonsense, it’s my source blood!"

Li An spoke with slight irritation. Nearly a century ago, he had given Xiang Yuntian a portion of meticulously refined "Spiritual Blood." The aura of Life Seed within that blood was extremely thin and undetectable, so the effect was slow, merely preventing Gu Canye’s body from worsening and gradually improving.

"He owes you a life, hahaha... In the future, it won’t be just me owing you a favor."

Xiang Yuntian was quite happy and said, "Strike while the iron is hot, break through to Harmonization Dao; the peak currently has plenty of Immortal Dao Materials, and I will protect your seclusion!"

He was very concerned about Li An’s cultivation progress.

"No, I currently lack insight, and recklessly breaking through to Harmonization Dao might be unwise."

"I plan to go out and walk around, to temper my heart."

Li An spoke.

Firstly, the commotion from him breaking through to Harmonization Dao certainly wouldn’t be small, and he also needs to temper his Life Seed with Thunder Tribulation. He doesn’t want to stay in the Dao Sect to avoid drawing attention.

Secondly, he should also go and plan on choosing blood food for Lady Yi.

"What’s unwise... Whatever insight you’re looking for that I don’t have here? I’ll get you an Immortal Level manual!"

"No need, Old Xiang, everyone must walk their path themselves."

Li An gently declined and raised his cup, "Immortal Dao Evergreen!"

Xiang Yuntian fixed his gaze on Li An, and could only helplessly sigh. In truth, he had now reached Crossing the Tribulation himself, as a Peak Master, he deeply sympathized with what Li An said.

He can assist Li An with crucial resources, but ultimately, cultivation is a personal journey.

They talked for a long time, and Li An also learned a bit about the major affairs of the world.

The golden century, where talents and masters emerge one after another. It’s said that the Dao Sect has added several more Immortals.

Many from the middle generation are also planning on seeking immortality, like Yun Qian, Helian Tuxian, etc.

"...Shangguan Xiaoxiao appeared once more than a decade ago. Back then, Li Yunxiao organized a large-scale siege. As a result, it’s said that Shangguan Xiaoxiao broke Li Yunxiao’s spells with just one move, severely injuring him. If not for Tan Qingxue’s timely rescue, he might not have survived."

"It’s been over a decade, and Li Yunxiao has only just recovered. He is now searching everywhere for Shangguan Xiaoxiao. From what I know, the Immortal Tianchenzi also emerged from seclusion a year ago to assist him. It seems they are determined."

This news left Li An feeling quite complicated. Having obtained the Mysterious Dao Mark, Shangguan Xiaoxiao truly turned things around...

Defeating Li Yunxiao, the Peak Master of Heroic Sword Peak, with just one move?

This kind of achievement is truly astonishing.

Even if Li An faced Li Yunxiao, he could only say that with the aid of the mysterious life form, the outcome would be uncertain.

It seems the help of the Mysterious Dao Mark... is really substantial.

"But you don’t need to worry, I’ve already let minor channels know, hmm... the news of Tianchenzi emerging from seclusion. As long as Shangguan Xiaoxiao keeps an eye out, I believe she’ll find out."

Xiang Yuntian spoke calmly, but Li An couldn’t help but say, "Aren’t you betraying the Dao Sect?!"

Xiang Yuntian replied, "We’re from Heroic Sword Peak, we repay kindness with kindness, and revenge with revenge. She is your master, so I can’t just watch her die. Moreover, after obtaining the Mysterious Dao Mark, she hasn’t done anything evil, unlike Shangguan Shengxian and others who often destroy cities and countries."

"If she really did evil, I would draw my sword and cut her down. If I killed her, I would kill myself too, simple as that."

Li An roughly understood Xiang Yuntian’s meaning. He owed Li An, so he passed it on to Shangguan Xiaoxiao, but that doesn’t mean Xiang Yuntian abandoned his sense of right and wrong. Over these years, he must have been keeping tabs on Shangguan Xiaoxiao. If Shangguan really did something unforgivable by heaven and earth, Xiang Yuntian would also act to kill her.

Li An hesitated to speak, wanting to say she wasn’t really his master... but at the tip of his tongue, Li An didn’t say it.

So be it.

"Spread another word, I may soon leave the Dao Sect’s main sect, and I am a bait released by the Dao Sect specifically to lure that fish. If she dares to come after me, she will die."
