Chapter 577: Chapter 296: Plotting to Become Immortal (Long Chapter) (2)

...

Leaving this sea area, Li An headed deeper into the Southern Sea.

He had already made up his mind!

Lady Yi wanted to seize the Hongmeng Immortal Qi, so he might as well use this to his advantage.

The main thing was, relying on Li An alone, it was very difficult to obtain the Hongmeng Immortal Qi.

During the third great upheaval, the Exotic Realm would fully descend, and an unknown number of Mysterious Creatures would appear, including the Great Fan Strange Monarch, a similarly bizarre entity undergoing flesh reconstruction... Once the Hongmeng Immortal Qi appeared, it would likely become the target of countless attacks.

The risk was too high!

External help was essential!

First, let Lady Yi and her direct descendants build the Immortal Dao Platform, and then seize it... He already had a plan in mind.

However, this plan had many variables and required careful steps and extra caution!

"The first step to plotting immortality!"

He murmured in his heart, for immortality, to survive... No matter what, he had to step into the realm of the mysterious.

...

Reactivating the Jade Talisman given by the Dao Sect, a flood of urgent messages arrived one after another!

"The Exotic Realm frequently manifests in the Mist Sea domain, with a massive explosion of Immortal Dao Material. Disciples in the Southern Sea should swiftly go to the Mist Sea to defend it, allowing no forces to approach!"

"Anyone daring to enter the Mist Sea will be killed without mercy!"

"Daoist Sect Order: No cultivators in the world may set foot in the Mist Sea, or the Dao Sect will destroy them!"

"Daoist Sect Order: All cultivators worldwide, please refrain from achieving immortality! No one is to strive towards the Immortal Dao, or the Dao Sect will intervene!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

He stayed on Giant Tomb Island with Lady Yi for a month, but from this news, it seemed the world had changed drastically.

What exactly was going on?

Li An frowned, as this seemed a bit odd, mainly because, with the explosion of Immortal Dao Material in the Mist Sea, why wouldn’t the Dao Sect allow others to go there?

Immortal Dao Materials were eagerly sought after by practitioners in the Spirit Realm. Did the Dao Sect intend to monopolize them?!

Moreover, the other Daoist Sect Order was even more astonishing, as it demanded all cultivators in the world to delay becoming immortals—was it crazy?

The Dao Sect is a mighty pillar in the Cultivation Realm, but it cannot truly rule the entire Immortal Realm. The Brahma Sect, Sun and Moon Sect, and Five Elements Sect, among other superpowers, are not much lesser in status, all being Immortal sects with deep heritage and unlikely to heed the Daoist Sect Order.

Furthermore, the Dao Sect has always been fair and just, with rules forbidding disciples from arrogance and bullying others... But these Daoist Sect Orders were excessively domineering and unreasonable this time.

Other people becoming immortals–what business is it of the Dao Sect? On what grounds does it demand others to delay?

He flew out of this sea area and finally found some Dao Sect disciples. After inquiring, he was utterly shocked.

"Half a month ago, True Immortal Yun Qian of the Dao Sect received a message from the depths of the Exotic Realm claiming that the Golden Age is a conspiracy. The more people become immortals, the faster the Exotic Realm will descend, and once it does, the entire Spirit Realm will turn into a bloodbath, heralding an apocalypse for all living beings."

"With some mysterious items previously obtained from the depths of the Southern Sea, the Dao Sect believed this message and has now ordered the world to stop becoming immortals!"

"There was another manifestation of the Exotic Realm in the Mist Sea, but this time, no mysterious storm erupted. Instead, an enormous amount of pure Immortal Dao Material rained down, and opportunities for immortality were everywhere!"

"Therefore, while the Dao Sect is communicating with major powers, it is also sending people to guard the Mist Sea to prevent the world from approaching..."

Li An, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but click his tongue in wonder. These people from the Exotic Realm... are truly insane.

Yet, the Dao Sect’s orders to the world hadn’t had the corresponding effect. After all, the temptation of immortality is too great. Can the world be stopped by a single decree of the Dao Sect?

A large number of cultivators were heading for the Mist Sea, seeking the Immortal Dao, striving for immortality!

There were even rumors that the Dao Sect wanted to monopolize the opportunities of the Mist Sea to unify the world, hence fabricating such news to deceive the world... Rumors were flying everywhere, and the pressure on the Dao Sect was immense.

In the face of the interests of immortality, few believed the Dao Sect.

Some major powers even had individuals achieve immortality, and after the Dao Sect intervened, it nearly led to war between sects!

The situation was very tense!

Currently, the Dao Sect is negotiating with other major powers, and to some extent, the Daoist Sect Order prohibiting immortality has already collapsed, with people in the Spirit Realm continuing to achieve immortality.

And the Dao Sect focused its attention on the Mist Sea, determined not to let the masses approach, for the Immortal Dao Material there was too abundant. Once many geniuses arrive, a group of immortals might very well emerge!

Li An couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh, believing this was indeed the truth.

His master, the Purple Fairy, had long said that the immortals from the first two upheavals would eventually fall...

Now it appears that all this was deliberately planned by people from the Exotic Realm...

Allowing immortal energies to descend upon the mortal world, letting Immortal Dao Material flow... Purposefully enabling the people of the Spirit Realm to achieve immortality, only to ultimately serve the Exotic Realm.

The Dao Sect was awake.

One must admit that from the beginning, the Dao Sect has continuously been on the right path, with many genuinely wise individuals.

Unfortunately, with universal panic, even though the Dao Sect is a giant in the Spirit Realm, it cannot confront the entire world...

How long can the Dao Sect hold up?

Li An was indifferent. He immediately responded to the Dao Sect’s order and headed for the Mist Sea in the depths of the Southern Sea!

He needed to go there and look for Lady Yi’s descendants along the way.

The Dao Sect had Immortal Dao Warships sailing in the sky, because the situation in the depths of the Southern Sea was already chaotic, with many isolated Dao Sect disciples being killed, and the wrath of the world at being denied Immortal Dao Material vented on the Dao Sect, greatly targeting it.
