Yet despite this, the Dao Sect never gave up; they fortified line after line of defense, exerting all their efforts...
They didn’t care about success or failure.
Only about whether it was right or wrong.
Li An sat on Evergreen Peak for a long time, watching the clouds rise and fall among the Dao Sect’s main peaks, then stood up.
After traversing all 108 main peaks of the Dao Sect, he finally arrived once again at the site of the old Profound Turtle Peak.
In the battle when the Evil King escaped back then, this place was leveled, but thousands of years passed, and it was now lush and filled with Spiritual Qi.
The old Scripture Pavilion, and the fake grave of Li An, were nowhere to be found... freēwebnovel.com
Leaving this place, he then went to Heroic Sword Peak.
On Heroic Sword Peak, sitting atop the cliff, the wind howled past, he raised a cup, but beside him, Xiang Yuntian, Gu Canye, and An Li were no longer there. He drank all the wine in his cup and let out a long sigh.
He had an undeniable connection with the Dao Sect, first as a captive, later as a disciple, then as a genius of the Great Dao, an elder, until now, a Supreme Elder...
The countless years flowed slowly past his eyes, and he couldn’t help but smile slightly.
"Goodbye, Dao Sect."
He murmured.
This was the last time he would see the complete mountains and rivers of the Dao Sect. By the time he returned, everything would be different!
Yes, he was about to leave.
Within the Dao Sect, he had already taken the fortunate lands and grotto heavens; he could not really be like Taiqingzi, Withered Fate, and others, organizing the world’s fools to resist the mysterious...
He would side with the mysterious.
Before the great changes of heaven and earth, he also had to lay his plans deeper in the Southern Sea before returning to the Yi Clan in the Exotic Realm...
He would not participate in the Dao Sect’s resistance battle.
"Deserter..."
He self-mockingly uttered, feeling a bit downhearted.
Back when he was just a minor cultivator, serving under the Profound Yang Sect, facing its demise, he had left resolutely, even taking advantage of it as he left; to him, the Profound Yang Sect was just a stepping stone, to extract whatever benefits he could.
Actually, he came to the Dao Sect with the same intentions.
And that’s what he did, taking a large batch of resources from the Dao Sect, Spirit Stones, talisman papers, talisman pens, array materials, Immortal Artifacts... he even relocated the Celestial Dao Peak to someone else.
But indeed, when it was time to leave, he realized... his feelings for the Dao Sect differed slightly from those for the Profound Yang Sect back then...
But these thoughts quickly faded, and he instantly revived his spirit, indifferently saying, "The life or death of the Dao Sect, what does it matter to me!"
Everything had been done to his best ability, staying to die? Only a fool would do that!
Without saying farewell to anyone, he initiated the Dao Sect’s super teleportation array—
The light of the teleportation array shone, obscuring his facial expressions, covering the fluctuations in his eyes, as if a veil had been drawn over him. He closed his eyes, allowing the teleportation array to shift the stars and change the space—
...
When Li An opened his eyes again, he was already in the New Continent.
Emperor Origin Realm, Daoist Temple.
The people the Dao Sect had left here had long since retreated to the sect; the Daoist Temple had lain empty for decades, overgrown with weeds, and from amidst them, Li An emerged, feeling invigorated by the eerie presence that swept across the heavens and earth!
With his Divine Sense released, the vastness of the New Continent immediately filled his mind.
The eerie wind swept unchecked; there were no complete living creatures left on the land of the New Continent; most humans, Spirit Beasts, etc., had either died or mutated into twisted beings.
These twisted beings could not be considered true mysterious creatures.
Even the plants on the ground mutated, exuding a gray aura.
It would not be long before the Spirit Realm became like the Exotic Realm, with few pure creatures, needing even to be reared for those with pure blood and Qi of flesh.
As for the Immortal Cities and forces of the New Continent, they had long since turned to ruins, with decaying bones scattered everywhere.
...
Li An did not linger long, crossing through the void in a blink, appearing at the seaside, and then heading straight for the direction of Giant Tomb Island.
According to his plan, after leaving the Dao Sect, his next stop was the Yi Clan in the Exotic Realm, so he had to set up on Giant Tomb Island to facilitate his actions within the Yi Clan.
In the grand era of yesteryear, the Southern Sea became a place of opportunity in the minds of the people, with a constant stream of masts and sails, but now it was a sea stretching in all directions. Large amounts of Anomalous Qi floated in the sky, and giant fish occasionally surfaced in the sea, their metamorphosis evident at a glimpse, with scales like blades and their gray flesh eerie.
Above the Southern Sea, Li An also noticed many gray boats!
Mysterious creatures!
"Strange, aren’t there too many mysterious creatures on the Southern Sea?"
Li An transformed into a mysterious form, using Anomalous Qi to hide his presence, lurking among strong waves, approaching one of the boats, attaching beneath it like an octopus.
He mainly feared experts on board detecting him with their Divine Thought.
"It’s been a thousand years, and there’s no sign of that Demon Cover..."
"Was it really the Demon Cover back then?"
"Nonsense! People have personally checked the situation over on Nanfu Island, even the Purple Cloud Mountain was alerted, confirming without a doubt, it was caused by that demon..."
Whispers of conversation floated from the ship, and Li An was taken aback. So many mysterious ships on the Southern Sea... were here for the Heaven-Devouring Demon Cover?
He instantly understood that using the Demon Cover on Nanfu Island back then had indeed attracted the attention of the Exotic Realm, drawing more and more forces into involvement...
Li An quietly left the ship, soon stealthily arriving at the Seventh-class Sea Region.
