Chapter 405 - 251: The Secret Realm Mystery (Extended - )

Li An sneered coldly.

Gao Tai’s face turned even grimmer. It was clear now that from the very beginning, his actions had not escaped Li An’s notice. On the contrary, he was the one who had been manipulated by Li An...

Li An didn’t waste any more words on him, directly grabbing his throat and began to wield the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill.

To refine Gao Tai into a puppet!

The reason he had kept Gao Tai alive until now was to extract and search his memories.

Only in this way could he have a clearer understanding of the situation of the Evil King’s faction to prepare for future actions.

Pain and resentment filled Gao Tai’s eyes, but after a long time, this resentment disappeared, leaving only numbness and emptiness!

He had become Li An’s flesh and blood puppet.

Meanwhile, Li An was slowly sorting through Gao Tai’s memories.

"Zhan Qingxuan!"

From Gao Tai’s memories, Li An found a familiar person.

Zhan Qingxuan, who had taken him and Tan Qingxue to the Emperor Origin Realm years ago, allowing them to enter the Dao Sect, placing him at Profound Turtle Peak to collude with Evil Fourteen and the others, aiding the Evil King in breaking the seal and escaping the Dao Sect...

Now, Zhan Qingxuan held a very high position within the Evil King’s faction and had become a saintess!

Previously, matters concerning the Primordial Spirit Realm were directly reported to her by Gao Tai and other evil cultivators.

Originally, according to the evil cultivators’ plan, they indeed intended to annihilate the New Dao Alliance and then find the entrance to that secret realm... As a result, Li An’s information caused the evil cultivators to change their plans.

Attacking the Jiang Clan became the top priority, while on the contrary, the Supreme Profound Mountain Range became secondary.

Everything was within Li An’s calculations!

"Zhan Qingxuan and Li Yunxiao, it would be best if they perished together..."

These two were both enemies of Li An!

Yet, the war situation in the Emperor Origin Realm and the Jiang Clan remained unknown...

"Gao Tai, this rascal, really made it big, as he was actually collecting Divinity Transformation opportunities with another alchemy cultivator... preparing to refine the Human Returning Pill!"

From Gao Tai’s memories, Li An also obtained another crucial piece of information!

Over the years, Gao Tai had been in constant cooperation with the Alchemy Master of the Primordial Spirit Realm, Vermilion Transformation Furnace. The two had agreed to meet every ten years.

For years they had been painstakingly collecting items related to Divinity Transformation, intending to refine the legendary "Celestial Life Pill." Having the Celestial Life Pill greatly increased the chances of advancing to Divinity Transformation.

However, due to some key medicinal ingredients being unavailable, the two had to settle for the preparation of refining the Human Returning Pill.

As the name suggests, the Human Returning Pill required the participation of a great deal of Nascent Soul cultivators’ essence blood, but the medicinal effect was definitely not as good as the Celestial Life Pill.

What made Li An speechless was that he was actually one of Gao Tai’s intended targets for murder and alchemy this time...

Gao Tai, this bastard, kept saying that Li An’s information about the Jiang Clan made a great contribution, and that he would surely have a place after this matter concluded. However, Gao Tai had never revealed to the high-ranking evil cultivators the existence of Li An. All of Li An’s contributions were usurped by him.

Bastard.

Truly seeking death with a plan!

Apart from marveling at Gao Tai’s cunning and treachery, Li An couldn’t help but feel a slight movement in his heart, as Gao Tai and Vermilion Transformation Furnace had collected quite a few Rank Five medicinal ingredients...

In eight years, it would be time for Gao Tai and Vermilion Transformation Furnace to meet again!

According to Gao Tai’s memories, Vermilion Transformation Furnace was unaware of Gao Tai’s true identity. For years, Gao Tai had been interacting with him under a pseudonym and disguise...

By then, perhaps he could make a good heist?

After all, with Gao Tai dead, he was the only one who knew the truth, possessing an unparalleled opportunity to outsmart Vermilion Transformation Furnace...

This trip to the Supreme Mysterious Mountain Range had cost Li An countless resources. To fake their deaths, both he and Gao Tai had left most of their storage rings and bags untapped.

At that time, while Gao Tai’s storage bags and rings contained many items, there wasn’t much that particularly caught Li An’s eye.

It was only after refining Gao Tai that Li An realized how cautious and cunning Gao Tai was. Like Li An, he had hidden his many treasures in a top-secret cave dwelling!

Now, of course, all of those have become Li An’s treasure trove.

However, Li An was not in a hurry. His current priority was to refine that dark branding!

After all, carrying the Jade Parrot’s branding felt like being marked... it was impossible to feel at ease.

He directly began to seclude himself, preparing to refine the branding!

...

In the blink of an eye, six years passed.

Over these six years, Li An finally managed to erode the branding left by the parrot!

...

Goodnight.
