Chapter 962: Chapter 417: Attaining Daluo (Part 2)

An Li stayed here for a long time, repeatedly inspecting Wu Ming’s death.

"The reincarnated body of the Evergreen Immortal Venerable actually died like this..."

An Li sighed softly.

"Master, it seems that before Great Monarch Qiongqi found Wu Ming, he should have already been targeted by someone else, who had long intended to kill him. However, the person behind the scenes, evidently wanted to use a borrowed blade to kill, making Great Monarch Qiongqi take action."

Behind An Li, a young man spoke. This young man looked ordinary, but his eyes were quite bright, and he was pondering.

This person was An Li’s direct disciple, Dao Qing’an.

Dao Qing’an was originally just an orphan, chosen by An Li, and had been cultivated by his side for many years. Upon hearing his analysis, An Li nodded and said, "Think about why the person behind this would do such a thing?"

Dao Qing’an thought for a long time but still couldn’t deduce anything, saying, "Disciple is dull-witted."

An Li said, "The person in the dark did this indicating he wanted to kill the main body of the Evergreen Immortal Venerable’s reincarnation but cannot reveal himself, thus needing Great Monarch Qiongqi to cover up."

"However, the person in the dark didn’t expect our Dao Sect to get the news in advance, and laid out plans to kill Great Monarch Qiongqi, almost saving Wu Ming, forcing the person in the dark to take action and reveal himself."

"If Great Monarch Qiongqi had killed Wu Ming smoothly, we might not have known there was someone planning this in the dark. This person’s schemes run deep."

Dao Qing’an suddenly understood and continued, "The person’s meticulous planning must be for something big!"

An Li nodded, "Daring to plot against the reincarnation of the Evergreen Immortal Venerable, indeed very scary... It’s a pity, you and I don’t have Immortal Venerable-level cultivation to see through karma, unable to discern where the karma goes after Wu Ming’s death..."

He sighed, "Investigate carefully. If I’m not mistaken, the planner must be around the eight million miles of the Cyan Ridge Mountain range."

"The Evergreen Immortal Venerable is already dead, I do not wish for another terrifying opponent to emerge."

He murmured with a sense of exhaustion. Over the past half-year, although he had firmly seated in the Heavenly Court, the pressure he faced was greater than when he schemed against Hongbo Fairy and the Evergreen Immortal Venerable.

There is too much for the Dao Sect to do, facing enemies too strong, losing the advantage of being hidden, extremely overwhelmed, and thus, in the past half-year, his cultivation has not advanced at all, burdened by worldly affairs.

Resisting the weird has been difficult enough, adding another mysterious and unpredictable opponent really makes it hard to breathe...

"With the Supreme here, with his elderly wisdom, he may have some coping strategies..."

He looked at the vast eight-million-mile Cyan Ridge Mountain range, feeling a slight comfort in his heart.

If there was anyone in this world who could give him a sense of "reliance" now, it was only Li An.

The others like Xiang Yuntian, Purple Fairy, or even Shangguan Xiaoxiao though strong in cultivation couldn’t help much with human schemes and conflicts.

Only Li An.

"Let’s go to the battlefield."

Having finished all affairs here, he took Dao Qing’an and others and turned to head to the front line.

...

Just then.

Under the eight-million-mile Cyan Ridge Mountain Range, within a certain cave mansion.

Li An’s surroundings were filled with a large amount of Dao charm of creation and Daluo Qi, a mysterious and unfathomable Sword Intent forming a cage, trapping all these Daluo Dao Principles here, without dissipating back to the world.

The reason no heavenly phenomena occurred after Great Monarch Qiongqi’s death was precisely because of this!

His Dao Principles and all Daluo Qi were trapped here by the Sword Intent of the Tai’e Sword Saint Immortal Venerable, temporarily isolating the power of the heavens and earth.

"Daluo-level Mana has a sense of transforming all things. Daluo itself, to some degree, is a source of creation capable of birthing a world."

Li An felt these Daluo Qi and couldn’t help but marvel. His gaze fell deeply in the center of many Daluo Qi, where amidst flowing lights and radiant colors there was a mass of Hongmeng Qi, eternally unending, the source of all Daluo Qi.

The so-called Daluo Golden Immortal is formed due to this mass of Hongmeng Qi, which can transform all things, infinitely useful, birthing endless creation.

This Hongmeng Qi requires Taiyi Golden Immortal to comprehend the void and study the heavens and earth for countless ages, then simulate and evolve it with their own Immortal Qi, only to finally achieve.

At this moment, Li An without hesitation, opened his mouth to try to swallow that Hongmeng Qi!

His Mana was extremely strong, but at this moment the Hongmeng Qi remained immovable.

Taiyi Golden Immortal-level cultivation simply cannot control it.

He approached, reaching out a hand to touch, but his hand passed like through smoke, unable to grasp anything.

"Indeed wondrous beyond words, clearly the source of transforming all things yet seemingly non-existent..."

Li An then operated the black-white millstone within, the power of life and death surrounding him. Then, he simply sat cross-legged here, sacrificed the millstone, which started turning, the forces of life and death interwoven, the laws of Immortals and Demons mixed, the boundary between righteousness and evil finally reaching a balance in chaos, annihilating all forms in Hongmeng.

Thus, that formless and immaterial Hongmeng Immortal Qi was finally drawn little by little into the millstone, which spun rapidly, grinding that Hongmeng Immortal Qi into tangible substance, and then absorbed by Li An...

At that moment, Li An’s eyes closed tightly, but in his mind, countless images flashed by, seeming to see the Dao Fruits of Great Monarch Qiongqi’s life swell like tide.

Black and white chess lines intertwined, forming Restrictions and Array forces, then further becoming mountains, water, rivers, glaciers, oceans and deserts, wind and lightning, magma and snow...

The Hongmeng Qi was being crushed bit by bit, and who knows how much time passed. In Li An’s eyes, he seemed to experience a world’s becoming, witnessing the origin of each flower, the birth of each grass blade, each speck of dust from nothing, each drop of water condensing reality from emptiness...

Initially, he was merely an observer, but later, he began to participate gradually, guiding the configuration and change of those rules.

He created a lush green mountain range, giving that mountain range Spirit Vein and Earth Qi, hence the mountain range flourished with vibrant life, quickly home to snakes, insects, tigers, and leopards, where life spawned anew and died each day.

He evolved a surge of river, rushing eastward like a winding dragon, roaring furiously at times, serene and silent at others, changing endlessly, finally pouring into the ocean...

He used yellow earth to create the first batch of primitive and ancient ancestors of humanity, holding stone spears and axes, surviving arduously in the wilderness, gradually learning to wield the power of fire, tempering blades, roasting food. Soon, a genius with a Spirit Root emerged in the tribe, who observed changes in Spiritual Qi by chance and began the first step of cultivation...

Thus, a civilization is born.

The Daluo realm births all things, and upon reaching the Immortal Venerable realm, it requires the almighty power to return to itself, thus often upon entering the Immortal Venerable realm, Daluo Golden Immortals choose to discard their Daluo World.

Thus, besides the thirty-three heavens, many lower realms like the Spirit Realm exist, some naturally birthed, others from Daluo Golden Immortals.

...

Finally, after witnessing the origin of a world and mastering all its powers, Li An finally opened his eyes.

Inside the cave mansion, the myriad Daluo Qi that originally circled around him had now vanished, the Hongmeng Immortal Qi fully entered his body, absorbed by him, and the life-death millstone appeared even more profound and mysterious, during its rotation, seemingly generating some wondrous substance inside...

Li An had attained the Dao Fruit of Daluo Golden Immortal.

Now he...

Possessed the cultivation of a Daluo Golden Immortal!

Should the world learn of this, jaws would surely drop in shock, for historically as it were, has anyone ever attested the position of Daluo like this?

Even the top experts of the most elite forces, like Yunxi or Ye Cauldron, can only rely on the experience and notes of predecessors to help avoid some pitfalls, eventually still relying on themselves.

Yet Li An’s method indeed held some cleverness, using the power of the life-death millstone, directly "inheriting" Great Monarch Qiongqi’s Dao Fruit.

The entire process didn’t even invoke the interference and attention of the heavens and earth.

Hence, he also did not trigger the Daluo Tribulation.
