Chapter 757: Chapter 120: Holy Land Pursuit

“Is that person not from my Realm Dao Yi?” True Man Duanyun wondered in surprise.

“Even our Saint Master finds it difficult to enter this forbidden land in our realm. Only a guest from the legendary Great Marsh Cultivation Realm can do it!” The elder shook his head.

Then he solemnly cautioned, “Remember, this matter must not be disclosed at all costs. The celestial fate of our Cangyuan Holy Land lies with this person.”

“Disciple will remember!”

“Immediately take my token, gather the disciples and track this one down! Even if you have to dig three feet into the entire Realm Dao Yi, you must capture him. Remember, this person stole my Immortal Pill…”

———-

Seven days later, inside Qingfeng Market tens of thousands of miles from the forbidden land Shen Yuan.

This market is built alongside a Tier Four Spirit Vein tributary, with a concentration of Spiritual Qi no less than that at the Biyun Sect in the Celestial Cyan Domain. Inside the market, the flow of people is like a weaving stream, intertwining with the sound of peddlers and uproar.

Li Ji’an stood on the top floor of the tall Welcoming Pavilion, gazing into the distance.

Clad in a blue magical robe, his aura restrained, yet his brows furrowed with a heavy unease.

“Realm Dao Yi!”

The three words settled heavily in his heart, carrying disbelief and weight.

On his escape from Shen Yuan forbidden land, he encountered three waves of reckless Tribulation Cultivators.

The highest cultivation of those Tribulation Cultivators was no more than Core Formation Early Period, easily subdued by him. He then performed soul searching, combined with maps and Jade Scrolls found in their storage pouches, repeatedly confirming the place he was now.

This was not the originally intended destination he and Ning Sujin had anticipated—the Taihao Realm Immortal Dynasty territory.

Instead, it’s Realm Dao Yi.

From the memories gained through soul searching, this Realm Dao Yi is not under a single Immortal Dynasty regime but rather divided among various Holy Land sects controlling different regions.

Among them, Cangyuan Holy Land, Cyan Cloud Holy Land, Crimson Cloud Holy Land, along with the Murong and Ye ancient noble families, are considered the five major powers of Realm Dao Yi.

These five forces have a long-standing heritage tracing back to the Immortal Ancient Period, with foundations deeply terrifying.

They are like five massive mountains, pressing firmly on the heads of cultivators in Realm Dao Yi, controlling most of the spirit veins, resources, and discourse in cultivation.

What shook Li Ji’an most was that these five forces all have ancestors who achieved Ascension as Immortal Emperors!

The might of an Immortal Emperor overlooks all heavens, even the legacy left behind makes these forces surpass other sects.

“No wonder the cultivators of Cangyuan Holy Land are so arrogant, they have such deep foundations.”

Li Ji’an rubbed the edge of the wine cup with his fingertips, his gaze growing more heavy.

He thought leaving Shen Yuan forbidden land meant temporary safety, yet unexpectedly wandered into such a realm dominated by powerful sects and was closely monitored by Cangyuan Holy Land.

The Spirit Wine in the cup was crystal clear and fragrant, yet it tasted bland.

“Hmm?”

Just after drinking a cup of Spirit Wine, Li Ji’an’s expression suddenly changed, and his Divine Sense condensed sharply.

His Divine Sense, suppressed to Core Formation Early Period, quietly spread out, instantly detecting three obscure auras.

Those were the auras of three Core Formation True Men, stealthily approaching from three different directions toward the top floor of the Welcoming Pavilion.

Their target was clear.

“What’s the meaning?”

Li Ji’an frowned secretly, feeling a trace of chill in his heart.

He had just arrived in Qingfeng Market less than half an hour ago, hadn’t interacted with anyone, so why was he being followed?

As the thought flashed, his Magical Power quietly mobilized throughout his body, and his form vanished into the air like vapor.

Moments later, three cultivators dressed in uniform blue-gray Daoist robes appeared on the top floor of the Welcoming Pavilion.

Their gazes swept over the empty railing, showing confusion.

“Strange, clearly sensed the target’s aura here.”

One of them whispered with a frown, his Divine Sense carefully probing the surroundings, but found nothing.

“Did we lose him?” another person asked with a grave face, “The uncle master has ordered us to find this child, there mustn’t be any mistakes.”

“Search again! Meticulously search! He hasn’t run far!” the third person said in a deep voice.

The three individuals expanded their Divine Senses again, conducting a thorough search of the Welcoming Pavilion and its surrounding area, but still failed to find Li Ji’an.

At this time, Li Ji’an had already quietly left the Welcoming Pavilion, mingling in the flow of people in the market and heading towards the market outskirts.

He could clearly sense those three Divine Senses trailing closely behind, like a persistent shadow.

Half a month later, Qingfeng Market had already been left far behind.

Li Ji’an traveled through twists and turns, finally reaching the border of Yuan Province, where Cangyuan Holy Land is located.

Standing atop a barren mountain ridge, he gazed into Yuan Province’s interior from afar.

Thousands of spiritual lights were visible shuttling within Yuan Province, belonging to Cangyuan Holy Land’s patrolling cultivators.

The more alarming sight was the faintly visible light blue curtain covering the heavens and earth near Yuan Province’s border, the protective Grand Array laid by Cangyuan Holy Land, its array patterns circulating and emitting an intimidating pressure.

Li Ji’an’s face grew increasingly grave.

Throughout half a month, he grasped the basic situation of Realm Dao Yi from the memories of those Tribulation Cultivators.

But regarding why Cangyuan Holy Land relentlessly pursued him, he still had no clues.

In order to escape persecution, he had already switched seven or eight places, from markets to barren mountains, from towns to valleys, never staying over three days in one place.

No matter where he fled, Cangyuan Holy Land’s cultivators accurately found him each time.

And the most crucial part was when he realized his identity was exposed and decided to use the Faceless Mask to completely change his appearance and identity, he discovered that the Faceless Mask he carried for years, which never failed, was completely ineffective in this place!

When he placed the Faceless Mask over his face and activated his Magical Power, the mask did not respond at all, unable to change forms.
