Chapter 564: Chapter 293: Immortals Must Salute When They See Me (Long Chapter)

...

And at this moment.

Above the entire bay, the rules of heaven and earth seemed to have been shattered, with layers upon layers of fragments of the Great Dao, an unimaginable force siphoning towards the entire surface of the Southern Sea—

One hundred and eight Suspended Immortal Cities and thousands of terrifying great formations, centered on Nanfu Island, manipulated all the forces of heaven and earth, like an ancient giant beast fully awakened, devouring the heavens and the earth.

On the Southern Sea, enormous waves surged layer by layer, tsunamis soared into the sky, chaotic waves, and water columns several thousands of feet high continuously erupted, as if the ocean were about to split apart.

And in the distant depths of the Southern Sea, clusters of terrifying gray storms...

Had already arrived!

"The mysterious storm, it’s really here, it’s really here!"

"Retreat, everyone, retreat immediately, leave the New Continent, return to the Spirit Realm sects for defense—"

"The Dao Sect has really succeeded, there is indeed a mysterious storm hidden in the deep Southern Sea... Can the Dao Sect hold out?"

"Three days, within three days, the storm will reach the continent, we don’t have much time, hurry up and leave—"

The world was watching, and seeing the anomaly in the depths of the Southern Sea, there was an uproar, and many forces chose to withdraw immediately!

The three-hundred-year turmoil was too tragic; even immortals might fall. It was a nightmare.

Only major forces like the Brahma Sect, Five Elements Sect, and Sun and Moon Sect did not fully withdraw. They sent some truly talented individuals capable of becoming immortals, officially entering the bay and Nanfu Island on this day, actively preparing defenses to welcome the celestial winds the Dao Sect induced from the Southern Sea.

Other forces understood that what the Dao Sect feared might not turn into reality, and eggs shouldn’t be put all in one basket. Since the Dao Sect had paved the way, they would also follow suit.

"Finally succeeded—"

On an immortal island in the bay, several Supremes of the Dao Sect revealed a look of relief.

Their expressions showed deep exhaustion. After all, just activating the great formation and continuously trial and error had taken decades. During these decades, they almost did not rest or sleep, operating with full force.

"Three days later, the celestial wind of the Southern Sea will arrive here. This place will become the strongest point of the storm. Notify everyone participating in the immortal-forming ceremony to go to Nanfu Island and prepare—"

Taiqingzi ordered.

Behind him, Sect Leader Su Yebai nodded and said, "I will arrange it immediately—"

"Success or failure will be determined by this move!"

Withered Fate also came over and said, "Taiqing, as your teacher, I truly hope everything you said back then was just illusory and won’t become real."

His old eyes also carried a strong sense of worry: "The depths of the Southern Sea... Indeed, it is difficult to see through."

Taiqingzi said: "Master, things have come to this; we can only accept it."

"Accept everything and face everything."

Withered Fate nodded and said, "You are right."

"Our Dao Sect will not retreat half a step! Even if we die, we must leave a sense of righteousness in this world!"

His words were sonorous.

Suddenly, a Jade Talisman on him lit up, and he immediately picked it up, glanced over it, and his expression changed—

"Master, what’s wrong?" Taiqingzi inquired.

"Someone has fallen into the Demon Dao!"

Withered Fate frowned tightly and immediately ordered, "All the third-generation immortals assemble!"

The Dao Sect currently has three generations of immortals: the first generation is the Corpse Dissolving Immortal originally buried underground, the second generation includes the original Supreme Elders like Withered Fate, and the third generation includes Sect Leader Taiqingzi, Qiao Rumu, and others.

The soon-to-be immortals like Yun Qian, Helian Tuxian, and the others, including Li An, belong to the fourth generation.

Taiqingzi also realized something important must have happened and immediately ordered as well.

...

Soon after.

Withered Fate brought the third-generation immortals to Rejuvenation Island.

This reef island was also artificially established later. The island has a great formation that can continuously provide vitality, injecting into heaven and earth, helping cultivators in the immortal-forming ceremony survive.

It is also temporarily known as the residence of the Rejuvenation Peak’s cultivators.

"How did he get injured like this again?"

Treating Li An was the familiar Xue Yan, and upon meeting again, she couldn’t help but sigh.

She didn’t interact much with Li An but had a deep impression of him.

When Li An first returned to Evergreen Peak, Long Lü and others wanted to challenge Li An. Li An refused, citing an injury from the Dao, so Long Lü and the others asked Xue Yan to treat Li An. In the end, the more she checked, Li An deliberately exaggerated his injuries, dragging it on for fifty years...

It once made her depressed and self-doubting.

Later, when Li An’s Demon Seed was seized, she also took care of Li An for a while.

Over a thousand years have passed, and seeing Li An again, his injuries... even made her sigh.

Using various Immortal Elixirs and the like to stabilize Li An’s Primordial Spirit, she advised Li An to rest well and then left the room.

The atmosphere in the outer hall was very grave.

Many immortals had arrived.

Xue Yan was somewhat surprised. When Li An’s Demon Seed was seized back then, it was also such a scene...

"Snow Smoke Peak Master, how is Li An’s injury?"

Taiqingzi asked.

Xue Yan’s master, the previous Peak Master Wang Rufu, died during the three-hundred-year turmoil, so she assumed the position of Peak Master. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Xue Yan said, "Reporting to the immortals, Li An’s injury is in his Primordial Spirit. In the Spirit Platform, there is still a black Immortal Rope binding his Primordial Spirit, constantly draining its power. If that black Immortal Rope isn’t removed, I am powerless—"

"I’ll do it!"

Withered Fate slammed the table and stood up, his face extremely grim.

"Master, let me do it. Removing this thing from Li An bears some risks..."
