Chapter 490 - 273: The Witch’s Pleasant Hands (Long - )
On Evergreen Peak, Song Qingsong emerged from seclusion, speaking indifferently, yet a trace of disdain flashed through his eyes.
Many years had passed, and Li An had been enjoying the treatment of a Great Dao disciple, but unexpectedly, he was still only at the initial stage of Refining Void.
Meanwhile, he had already reached the late stage of Refining Void!
He had once gone to the New Continent, obtained an Immortal Elixir, and achieved transformation and ascension.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother."
Li An merely smiled slightly. He estimated that although he was only at the initial stage of Refining Void, if he were to kill Song Qingsong, he should be able to resolve it within a thousand moves.
Song Qingsong at the late stage of Refining Void was not much more troublesome than Qin Long at the mid stage.
"Junior Brother, there’s no need for you to enter, the opportunities within the Mysterious Secret Realm would be wasted on you at your current strength."
Song Qingsong said.
"It’s precisely because I am too weak that I want to take the chance for an opportunity."
Li An laughed.
Song Qingsong sneered and said no more, heading towards the direction of the Mysterious Secret Realm.
Li An also rose.
The entrance to the Mysterious Secret Realm was situated among the Tianluo Nine Peaks behind Dao Sect, where many disciples had already gathered. At a glance, there were actually over a thousand!
Li An couldn’t help but marvel, Dao Sect... is truly extraordinarily strong.
Under the leadership of Shangguan Shengxian, the Demon Sect, after so many years, still had only a few dozen Refining Void experts and even fewer great powers, but the Dao Sect, just among the younger generation, had over ten great powers and over a thousand Refining Void practitioners!
The gap between the two sides was indeed vast, truly living up to its reputation as a world-shaking behemoth.
He saw many familiar figures, such as Tan Qingxue, Li Yunxiao, Yun Qian, and some other geniuses he knew by name although they hadn’t interacted before, like the Great Dao genius Helian Tuxian, Su Yebai, and the true transmission geniuses Lei Tianlan and Fen Sihai.
These were all truly formidable individuals.
"Come with us in a moment."
Xiang Yuntian proactively approached and spoke to Li An.
Li An’s cultivation was among the lowest of the thousand disciples.
"Alright."
Li An did not refuse.
Rumble!
Ahead, the vast Array suddenly began to ripple. Nine elderly figures, like withered trees, sat cross-legged atop the Tianluo Nine Peaks, working together to open the vast secret realm.
These nine were the Supreme Elders!
It showed just how much Dao Sect valued the Mysterious Secret Realm.
"The secret realm is a genuine world of danger, a life-and-death arena. Be careful, if you die within, we will not save you."
One of the Supreme Elders spoke loudly.
All the disciples felt a shiver, but none retreated; they all surged into the secret realm.
...
As he stepped into the secret realm, Li An felt a moment of surrealness, as if he was back in the southern part of the Taiqing Realm.
The air was filled with a strange, twisted aura, cold and murderous, with no sign of life, just a gray expanse.
The secret realm, created by Dao Sect’s Immortals, was indeed indistinguishable from a real strange environment.
The area they were in was a coastline.
Waves crashed against the shore, roaring as if from the depths of the ocean. Among the countless strange energy flows, faint traces of Immortal Light flickered on the sea surface.
This corner of the sea must have been taken by Dao Sect’s Immortals from the Southern Sea, right?
Though it was just a corner of the Southern Sea, it was truly vast, looking no different from an endless ocean.
The area might be hundreds of billions of miles wide!
"Those are Immortal Lights!"
"Let’s go, to trial!"
"Kill!"
Dao Sect’s disciples exclaimed and directly moved through the air, rushing towards the sea.
Xiang Yuntian, Gu Canye, and Li An also dashed out.
Clap!
From the sky, a terrifying black lightning bolt suddenly struck towards the three of them.
From the void emerged an eerie creature, a massive centipede thousands of meters long, its antennae sparkling with black electric light.
It was a mutated creature!
Dao Sect’s Immortals had not only taken a corner of the sea, but also included the various mutated creatures within.
These were the targets for Dao Sect disciples to trial against.
"Finally, it’s here --"
Gu Canye, with a grass stem in his mouth, did not unsheathe his sword. Instead, he pointed forward with two fingers, and a sword light, sharp and destructive, tore through space, slashing towards the giant centipede.
The giant centipede opened its mouth and spat out a gray breath that formed a barrier, surprisingly blocking Gu Canye’s sword Qi!
"Ah, now this is getting interesting!"
Xiang Yuntian was delighted and rushed forward instantly.
"Get lost, Xiang, I found this centipede first!"
Gu Canye shouted, and the two began competing, but fortunately, this corner of the Southern Sea contained many such creatures. Below, within the waves, a terrifying gray monstrous fish surged out, its huge mouth full of sword-like teeth aimed at devouring Li An and the others.
Xiang Yuntian no longer quarreled with Gu Canye, taking a step down as sword light under his feet wove a net, raining down and causing large scales from the monstrous fish to fall off.
Not just here; everywhere else was the same.
Tan Qingxue, with six terrifying tails sweeping the surroundings, used her Celestial Fox Skill dominatingly against an octopus with eight tentacles that emerged from the sea, an extremely terrifying creature.
Li Yunxiao, with a huge Mountain and River Seal in his hand, his Evil-Suppressing Celestial Blood nearly boiling, fiercely smashed towards a ghostly water demon.
Song Qingsong was beset by a sea butterfly, in a perilous situation!
...
The battle had erupted fully!
Even the Great Dao geniuses didn’t have an effortless time.
...
Li An didn’t exert his full strength, maneuvering around the monster alongside Xiang Yuntian and Gu Canye.
