"Though you currently reside within this body, my lord, it ultimately defies time and the Heavenly Dao. While it seems fine now, with time, should the Heavenly Dao take offense, it could lead to your collapse and invite the tribulation fire."
The Immortal Ziyun continued.
"The Sacred Realm?"
Li An finally spoke a sentence.
Immortal Ziyun said, "Indeed, the Sacred Realm is the most revered place among the thirty-three heavens, respected by all races and venerated by all beings! To my knowledge, all the lords who return from the Era of Eternal Life eventually go to the Sacred Realm, where there are true opportunities for rebirth and the completion of life for the lords!"
By common logic, since the arrival of the Era of the Strange serves merely to bring back certain beings lost in time, these returning beings naturally hold high status. Yet, Li An wondered, who constructed the Sacred Realm?
Could it be the work of that unknown entity manipulating time?
If so, does entering the Sacred Realm mean Li An could have the chance to learn the ultimate truth of all this?
But in his heart, he harbored no yearning or curiosity to explore the truth of the world; rather, a deep dread and fear crossed his mind.
Now, being of low realm and weak strength, it was best not to come into contact with such a place.
However, he had already been regarded by Ziyun and others as the envoy of the Deceitful God, a returned one...
This time Li An, disguised as an Alien Soul, has now seemingly trapped himself?
But there was nothing else he could do; at that time, his decision was the optimal solution based on the information he had!
Had he known everything in advance, he certainly wouldn’t have been so rash...
He couldn’t help but sigh; in fact, who is truly exceptionally wise? It’s all about gathering as much information as possible to make reasonable decisions under comprehensive information.
Most people in high positions, apart from having an information advantage, don’t have minds much stronger than ordinary people.
However, the situation was not entirely irretrievable; as long as he had not truly entered the so-called Sacred Realm, there was still a chance.
Moreover, if not for this, he wouldn’t have been able to access so many core secrets.
It could only be said that there are gains and losses!
"How long must I wait?" Li An asked.
Asking to know how much time remained so he could plan.
If he needed to flee, then flee he would, for that accursed Sacred Realm he certainly had no desire to approach now.
Immortal Ziyun said, "Please rest assured, my lord, we will expedite... Generally speaking, we first collect your soul light and send it to the Sacred Realm, where they will evaluate your soul light and dispatch someone timely to escort you based on its condition."
"How long did it take for Zhuyue?" Li An heard the vague words and changed his question.
Immortal Ziyun said, "At the time, Lord Zhuyue was quite quick; it only took him over two hundred years to be taken there..."
Li An was taken aback; over two hundred years?
Though cultivators have prolonged lifespans, two hundred years isn’t particularly long, but to just report and have someone dispatched to go through a procedure, does it really take that long?
The efficiency of affairs in the Sacred Realm was exceedingly low!
And yet, Immortal Ziyun considered it quite fast?
Nevertheless, Li An was rather pleased; the lower the efficiency, the better!
The slower it went, the longer he could stay here on Purple Cloud Mountain.
Also increasing his chances of escape.
Even Immortal Ziyun couldn’t help but smile awkwardly and said, "We have asked the Sacred Realm before, and they said the sequence of entering the Sacred Realm relates to the strength of soul light. Some say it’s about the strength of soul light, others say the soul light must undergo testing related to certain things in the Sacred Realm. If there is relevance, it moves quicker... but how exactly it is judged and tested, we are unaware."
Upon hearing this, Li An felt more reassured!
Soul light strength? His soul light was as weak as he controlled it to be!
As for relevance to certain things within the Sacred Realm... Li An wasn’t originally from any past Deceit Realm, naturally, there was no connection with the Sacred Realm!
From these perspectives, he was utterly... unqualified.
Thus, he certainly rank last in order...
However, to be cautious, Li An still asked, "If the soul light is weak and unrelated to the things in the Sacred Realm, what would happen then?"
If the unqualified were to be directly killed, that would trouble him.
Immortal Ziyun hesitated a bit and said, "Well, well... it seems there isn’t much, just that it will be slower."
Upon hearing this, Li An immediately felt assured.
Pretty quick took over two hundred years, then being slow, wouldn’t it be five or six hundred years, perhaps even a thousand to start?
"I understand your meaning."
Li An took a sip of Spirit Wine and said, "Also, if I wish to take a stroll outside, you should not stop me, right?"
He merely tested, but Immortal Ziyun chuckled and said, "My lord, feel at ease here, you’re a distinguished guest at our Purple Cloud Mountain. Go wherever you wish; we naturally won’t stop you."
"However, after leaving the mountain, you must return soon, as you’re yet to truly reincarnate. While under the protection of the place where the deity descends on Purple Cloud Mountain, you’re safe, but leaving will easily provoke a disturbance in the Heavenly Dao, which is not beneficial to you."
No matter.
Upon hearing this, Li An nodded, then got up to leave, saying, "I’ll go back to that so-called place where the deity descends to have a look."
"By the way, my lord, please allow us to collect your soul light before departure, alright? We could then notify the Sacred Realm promptly!"
Immortal Ziyun respectfully bowed.
Li An nodded, not refusing.
He had already refined his soul with the Demon Skill and Life Nourishing Immortal Skill. A bit of soul light extracted now would not reveal his foundation.
