Saving a person?

Zi Yun was surprised.

“Fellow Daoist Li, your friend is trapped deep in this place?”

“That’s right.”

Li Chang’an briefly explained the purpose of his trip.

After hearing him,

Zi Yun and Wu Shuo’s opinions of him changed again.

Rumors outside said that Li Chang’an was a coward, always hiding in the sand, never daring to take any risks.

But Li Chang’an was willing to enter this dangerous little world alone to save a friend.

Undeterred by difficulties, risking his life!

How could a cultivator with such courage and boldness be a coward?

Zi Yun looked deeply at Li Chang’an and sighed, “Fellow Daoist Li, outsiders have too many misunderstandings about you.”

“Just some empty reputation, no need to care.”

Li Chang’an smiled, his tone very relaxed.

He was indeed a coward, and the outside world’s evaluation of him was quite accurate.

However,

he had divination to rely on.

This trip posed no danger to him whatsoever; it was merely a trip to clear his head, rescue someone, and perhaps seize some opportunities.

Li Chang’an took out his communication jade pendant and sent a message to Mu Xiaoqing.

“Fellow Daoist Mu, how are you?”

A moment later,

Mu Xiaoqing replied,

“Fellow Daoist Li, I’m in a relatively safe place.”

“Good. Don’t wander around; just wait for me where you are.”

Li Chang’an gave a few instructions.

Mu Xiaoqing was quite lucky; although trapped for many years, she hadn’t been discovered by Ye Sang.

This space was extremely strange; Ye Sang had cultivated it for a hundred years, yet he had only barely controlled a small area.

Mu Xiaoqing was trapped in an area he hadn’t explored.

After resting for a while,

Li Chang’an resumed his journey, delving deeper into this space.   Zi

Yun and Wu Shuo didn’t leave but traveled with him.

In the following days,

Zi Yun’s attitude towards Li Chang’an was completely different from before.

She consistently and intentionally approached Li Chang’an, her attitude gentle, inquiring about his past experiences.   Li Chang’an didn’t give a perfunctory answer, briefly recounting some events from his cultivation journey.   This woman was, after all, Zi Xi’s younger sister.   Befriending her would certainly earn Zi Xi’s favor.   Although Li Chang’an didn’t want to become a guest disciple of Zi Xi, he wanted to cultivate their relationship.   Connections were never too many!   ”Back when I was still a mortal, I heard of immortals who could fly and escape the earth, living forever, and thus I conceived the idea of seeking immortality…”   Li Chang’an spoke calmly and slowly.   His life, while not exactly epic, was certainly full of twists and turns.   Without the divination   , most of his experiences would have been perilous.   Zi Yun listened intently, completely absorbed.   She spent most of her time cultivating within the Zixia Sect, and even when she went out to train, she always accompanied Zi Xi, rarely experiencing anything truly dangerous.   Hearing that Li Chang’an, barely at the Foundation Establishment stage, was being bullied by a fake Core Formation cultivator, she unconsciously clenched her fists, feeling indignant and worried for him.   ”Fellow Daoist Li, your journey has truly been arduous,”   she sincerely remarked.   Li Chang’an smiled, “The path of a rogue cultivator is like this. If it were too easy, I fear everyone could achieve the Golden Core stage.” ”   Then why do you insist on remaining a rogue cultivator instead of becoming a guest disciple of my sister?”   ”Fellow Daoist Zi, if I become a guest disciple of your sister, would I have a chance to obtain a Nascent Soul opportunity?” ”   This…”   Zi Yun fell silent.   Zi Xi herself didn’t have enough Nascent Soul opportunities; how could she give them to a guest disciple?   Even if she had extra Nascent Soul opportunities, she would give them to those close to her, like Zi Yun.   Li Chang’an continued, “The Golden Core realm is the end of my cultivation path in this life. Whether I become a guest disciple or not, it’s all the same. In that case, why shouldn’t I be a carefree rogue cultivator in the mountains?”   ”Fellow Daoist Li is right; I hadn’t thought it through,”   Zi Yun said apologetically, no longer mentioning the matter.   Time flew by.   Several more days passed.   On this day, Li Chang’an was recounting his experience of planning to form his Golden Core.   Suddenly, his eyes flickered as he looked ahead.   ”We’ve arrived.”   In the hazy gray area ahead, he sensed Mu Xiaoqing’s presence.   After walking a short distance further,   Li Chang’an called out, “Fellow Daoist Mu, are you here?”   ”Fellow Daoist Li?”   Mu Xiaoqing’s voice rang out in surprise.   Soon,   she followed the sound and came before Li Chang’an.   She looked much the same as when they parted years ago, still a young girl, but her bright eyes were no longer lively, carrying a hint of weariness.   ”Fellow Daoist Li, it’s been many years since we last met. I’m so glad to see you again.”   Feeling Li Chang’an’s presence, she felt particularly at ease and unconsciously wanted to move closer.   Li Chang’an channeled his magic power to examine her body, finding her unharmed.   She had already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.   Her physique was intact, her magic power was perfect, and her divine sense was extraordinary.   If she hadn’t been trapped here, she might have already attempted to form her core.   ”You two, this is Mu Xiaoqing, the Golden Core seed of the Mu family in the Southern Region…”   Li Chang’an gave a brief introduction.   Upon learning that Mu Xiaoqing possessed a spiritual body, Zi Yun and Wu Shuo were both somewhat surprised.   ”Fellow Daoist Mu has not yet formed her core, why did you dare to venture so deep into this place?”

Zi Yun didn’t adopt a senior’s demeanor, addressing him directly as “fellow Daoist. “

She also noticed Mu Xiaoqing’s condition.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Mu Xiaoqing would definitely succeed in forming his core, and the quality of that core wouldn’t be low.

“Alas, it’s all because of this token.”

Mu Xiaoqing took out the token.

The token’s surface was engraved with the characters “Qingmu,” easily evoking the image of the Qingmu Heavenly Lord from 30,000 years ago.

“I originally wanted to find the Heavenly Lord’s inheritance, but I gained nothing…”

Mu Xiaoqing sighed, recounting his experiences over the years.

A moment later.

Zi Yun and Wu Shuo each took the token and sensed it, but sensed nothing.

However, the moment Li Chang’an received the token, he felt a slight connection.

“It’s still deeper.”

His gaze was profound, looking into the depths of this hazy world.

The token’s connection was very clear, much clearer than Mu Xiaoqing’s description.

“I have a feeling; would you all like to come with me to take a look?”

Li Chang’an withdrew his gaze and asked the three.

None of the three refused; they were all somewhat expectant, wanting to see where the token would ultimately lead and whether it was truly related to Azure Wood Celestial Lord.

Afterwards, the four of them set off together.

The next few days went smoothly, without encountering any further danger.

Soon,

they arrived at the deepest part of this world.

The gray fog here had thinned considerably.

What appeared before their eyes was an ordinary little wooden house.

In the courtyard in front of the house, there was a wooden table.

A skeleton sat cross-legged behind the table, a storage bag beside him.

“Could that be Azure Wood Celestial Lord?”

Wu Shuo looked at the skeleton, his face full of excitement.

The entire cultivation world hadn’t seen a Nascent Soul Celestial Lord for thirty thousand years.

If they could obtain Azure Wood Celestial Lord’s inheritance, perhaps they could understand what changes had occurred in the cultivation world and go further on their cultivation path. Perhaps

they could even become the next Nascent Soul Celestial Lord!

“It shouldn’t be,”

Zi Yun said thoughtfully.

“According to the ancient records of the sect, even after the death of a Nascent Soul cultivator, the pressure emanating from their corpse is unbearable for ordinary cultivators. But this corpse has no pressure whatsoever.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Shuo was immediately disappointed. Li

Chang’an, however, remained unchanged.

He had already learned the identity of this skeleton through the divination.

But he didn’t reveal it explicitly. He simply controlled a puppet to step forward, bow to the skeleton, and thank it for leaving behind its legacy.

After that,

he used the puppet to take the storage bag and opened it to look inside.

Most of the treasures in the storage bag were unremarkable, about the same as the wealth of an ordinary Golden Core cultivator, seemingly unworthy of his status as a disciple of a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord.

Li Chang’an searched for a moment and quickly found the purpose of his trip.

A Heaven-grade concealment spell, the Illusory Body of Shadow Transformation!

He immediately put it away and did not reveal it to the others.

“A concealment spell reaching the Heaven-grade level is extremely precious, even in a Nascent Soul sect. This matter must not be known to outsiders.”

In addition, there was another Heaven-grade spell.

Wooden Dragon Soars!

This is an offensive spell.

Li Chang’an glanced at it briefly and estimated its power to be stronger than the Heavenly Wood Immortal Wheel, but not as strong as the Azure Wood Divine Light.

He also took it away directly, not revealing it to outsiders.

Apart from these two spells, the others weren’t particularly valuable.

A moment later,

Li Chang’an found a special jade slip.

Inside this jade slip were the words left by this senior before his death:

“My name is Lin Chuan, a disciple of the Azure Wood Heavenly Lord.”

“My talent is extremely poor, possessing only a wisp of spiritual essence. My master valued my character and accepted me as his disciple, allowing me to embark on the path of the Golden Core…”

Hearing this, Li Chang’an was secretly astonished.

No wonder he was a Nascent Soul Celestial Lord.

He had actually managed to cultivate a cultivator with only a wisp of spiritual essence into a Golden Core True Person.

It should be known that even among inferior spiritual roots, a wisp of spiritual essence is considered the lowest level.

An ordinary rogue cultivator with such talent would likely remain stuck in the early Qi Refining stage for life.

This senior, though lacking in talent, was truly fortunate.

After describing himself, he spoke of the Azure Wood Celestial Lord.

“My master attained the Nascent Soul stage and was invincible in the world. He had no other ambitions but to seek the legendary Ascension Platform, wishing to ascend to the Immortal Realm and embark on a more glorious path of cultivation.”

“However, my master searched bitterly for many years but still could not find the Ascension Platform.”

At this point, a hint of regret appeared in the senior’s words.

But soon, he changed the subject.

“Furthermore, Master is not invincible.”

“That day, a powerful enemy suddenly attacked. Master fought him for several days, and although he repelled him, Master was also seriously injured.”

“We disciples are of lowly strength and could not see the enemy’s true face. We only have doubts. Master is clearly the only Nascent Soul cultivator in the world, so why did a second Nascent Soul expert suddenly appear?”

Hearing this,

Li Chang’an felt slightly unsettled.

A battle between Nascent Soul cultivators had actually occurred 30,000 years ago, but there was no such record in the Great Qi’s library.

After calming his mind, he continued to listen.

“Master did not tell who the enemy was, but only became much more silent.”

“Later, Master suddenly disappeared. No one knew where he went, not even the eldest brother knew where Master went.”

“Where did Master go? The Immortal Realm…”

The voice in the jade slip stopped here, leaving only endless regret and doubt.

After listening, Li Chang’an pondered for a long time.

Unexpectedly,

even the disciples of Qingmu Tianjun did not know his final whereabouts.

“It seems the possibility of obtaining his inheritance is extremely slim; perhaps he didn’t leave any inheritance at all.”

Li Chang’an sighed, losing all hope for that Heavenly Lord’s legacy.

Afterward,

he revealed the treasures in his storage bag to Zi Yun and the other two.

Hearing the words in the jade slip, the three were somewhat shocked.

“Someone actually managed to severely injure Qingmu Heavenly Lord? Could Qingmu Heavenly Lord not be the last Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord?”

“Thirty thousand years ago isn’t too long ago; many records have been preserved. Why is there no description of another Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord?”

Like Li Chang’an, they were filled with doubt.

Zi Yun held a high position in the Zixia Sect.

Thanks to her sister’s status as a Holy Maiden, she could browse many ancient books in the sect’s library, but she had never seen a description of another Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord. As for

the existence of the legendary Immortal Realm, the Zixia Sect had no record of it.

In terms of foundation,

the Zixia Sect was only a little over ten thousand years old, far inferior to the thirty-thousand-year-old Great Qi Immortal Dynasty.

They searched for a long time without finding any other treasures and finally had to leave.

…

Half a month later.

They finally left this strange and oppressive space.

“Finally out!”

Feeling the gentle water elemental energy outside, all four felt a sense of relief.

Although the secret realm was fraught with danger, at least they could disperse their divine senses, and the surrounding world was bright and cheerful, not too oppressive.

Mu Xiaoqing felt particularly strongly, after all, she had been trapped for decades.

Her old friends had all formed their cores, while she remained at the peak of Foundation Establishment, wasting too many years.

After resting for a while by the lake,

the four set off again.

A few days later, they arrived at a mine.

It was in this very mine that the black market vendor had unearthed a huge piece of smoky stone.

Over the years,

Zi Xi had been cultivating here, occasionally venturing deep into the mine to search, discovering many treasures.

The purple near-fourth-tier flying boat was parked in the mine.

Not far from that flying boat was another flying boat. That

flying boat was deep yellow, also near-fourth-tier, and did not belong to the Zixia Sect, but to the Huangsha Sect.

Two flying boats faced each other from afar, their auras clashing.

This standoff had lasted for many years.

“The controller of the other flying boat is Wei Xu, the Holy Son of the Yellow Sand Sect. His identity is not simple; he is also a True Monarch disciple, but his strength is no match for my sister…”

Zi Yun explained in detail to Li Chang’an.

A moment later,

the four landed on the flying boat.

Zi Yun’s face lit up with joy as she approached Zi Xi.

“Sister, I’m back.”

“It’s good that you’re back. Did something happen on this trip?”

Zi Xi, dressed in a purple dress and still wearing a light purple veil, exuded an ethereal aura. Her gaze swept over Zi Yun’s back. She

noticed that Ye Sang was not there, but Li Chang’an and Mu Xiaoqing were present.

Because of this,

she guessed that something had happened on

this trip. Zi Yun nodded and told her what had happened.

“Sister, this time we owe a great debt to Fellow Daoist Li; otherwise, I probably wouldn’t have made it back…”

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible hint of surprise flashed in Zi Xi’s usually calm eyes.

What surprised her was not Ye Sang’s identity.

To her, demonic cultivators were nothing special, after all, the Yin Soul Sect’s branch, the Yin Soul Cult, had long been established in the Southern Region. What

truly surprised her

was Li Chang’an’s cultivation skills.

Third-tier mid-grade weapon crafting and third-tier high-grade alchemy!

Even within the Purple Cloud Sect, mastering either of these skills would bring extremely good treatment.

And those who mastered both third-tier skills were few and far between throughout the entire Purple Cloud Sect.

Furthermore…

Zi Xi hadn’t forgotten.

Long before he formed his core, Li Chang’an already possessed near-third-tier array formation skills.

Now, he might have already broken through in array formation, becoming a third-tier array master.

In short,

Li Chang’an likely possessed three third-tier skills!

How could she not be surprised that a mere rogue cultivator could reach this level?

Her gaze lingered on Li Chang’an, as if she were seeing him for the first time, scrutinizing him carefully.

“Fellow Daoist Li, are you truly unwilling to become my guest elder?”

Her voice was ethereal as she invited Li Chang’an once more.

This was the third opportunity!

No one had ever received so many opportunities from her.

“Fellow Daoist Li, if you become my guest elder, I can secure you an important Golden Core elder position—not a leisurely elder, but an elder with real power. From then on, your disciples and descendants can rely on the Zixia Sect for their growth.”

This time, her promise was extremely astonishing.

If Li Chang’an agreed

, he could transform from a rogue cultivator in the mountains into a powerful elder of a Nascent Soul sect.

This status was something countless cultivators could only dream of.

Yet he refused again.

“Thank you for your kindness, Holy Maiden.”

Although she had expected it, Zi Xi was still momentarily stunned upon hearing this.

From childhood to adulthood,

no one had ever refused her three times in a row.

A strange emotion welled up within her as she silently watched Li Chang’an, seemingly trying to see through his true thoughts.

After a long while, she spoke again.

“Very well, since Fellow Daoist Li is unwilling, I will not force you. I will not mention the matter of being a guest elder to you again. However… if you change your mind, you may come to me at any time.”

This was also a promise, equivalent to an indefinite invitation.

It was enough to show how much she valued Li Chang’an.

Then,

she added that

Li Chang’an had saved Zi Yun this time, which could be considered a favor.

If he encountered trouble in the future, he could ask her for help once.

As long as the opponent was not a Nascent Soul True Monarch, she was confident she could handle it.

“Thank you, Holy Maiden.”

Li Chang’an was in high spirits.

He had finally gained a favor from this Holy Maiden of the Zixia Sect!

From then on, as long as he held onto this favor, the karmic connection between him and Zi Xi would not be easily severed.

His network of connections within the Zixia Sect was now officially established.

“I have Zi Xi in the Zixia Sect and Mu Yu in the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty. I can establish connections with both of these Nascent Soul forces, which will make things much easier in the future.”

Li Chang’an was quite looking forward to the treasures of these two Nascent Soul forces.

Of course, he was not satisfied with this.

If possible,

he wanted to establish connections with even more Nascent Soul forces. Just

then

, an astonishing aura suddenly erupted from another flying boat in the distance.

Immediately afterward, a sky full of yellow sand appeared, transforming into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sun, heavily pressing down on the purple flying boat.

Zi Xi snorted coldly and cast a spell, dispersing the gigantic hand.

Her eyes were clear and cold as she looked at the flying boat.

“Wei Xu, do you want to fight me?”

“Haha, Fellow Daoist Zi Xi misunderstands. I am not attacking you.”

On the flying boat, a young figure dressed in a yellow robe appeared.

It was Wei Xu, the third disciple of True Monarch Huangsha!

His gaze passed over Zi Xi and landed on Li Chang’an behind him.

“Li Chang’an, I didn’t expect to see you here. This saves me trouble. I’ll borrow your head today!”
