Even someone as naturally cold-hearted as Li An couldnât help but feel a chill in his heart at that moment.
Countless orthodox practitionersâ growth merely serves as a life sustenance for those mysterious practitioners high above?
"Weâre almost there, look, the Thirty-Two City, this is my sisterâs fief, she resides on Lianyun Mountain."
Yi Lingxue led Li An, descending upon a lush green mountain, shrouded in gray mist, filled with a dense sense of eeriness, from here one could gaze thousands of miles away at the "Thirty-Two City."
There were many buildings on Cyan Cloud Mountain, along with formidable protective arrays. Li An sensed that the array here was quite extraordinary, so he followed Yi Lingxue cautiously and prudently.
However, there were not many mysterious practitioners on Cyan Cloud Mountain. Li An estimated only a few hundred, merely the upper class, yet requiring a vast "Thirty-Two City" to provide blood and flesh nourishment, giving Li An newfound insights into the mysterious creatures.
Before long, Yi Lingxue had led him into a secret hall.
Inside the hall, only one person was waiting.
She was a woman dressed in a bright yellow long dress, with a jade hairpin inserted into her towering cloud coiffure, exhibiting elegance and grandeur, possessing the demeanor of a noble house. In her facial features, there were indeed traces akin to Lady Yi, with the only discord being a blue tattoo on her snow-white neck, faintly discernible as a petite, adorable rose tattoo, yet it still carried a sense of discordance.
This person should be Yi Lingwei.
Li An dared not look more, lowering his head in silence.
Yi Lingwei waved her hand, and Yi Lingxue withdrew.
"Come over here."
Yi Lingwei beckoned, and Li An walked over to her. She didnât ask Li An to kneel, for her throne was on the steps, and even seated, she was higher than Li An. She raised her jade-like hand, and suddenly, a gray light infiltrated Li Anâs Spirit Platform.
It was also Soul Searching!
For matters of such importance, listening to what Li An said was meaningless; directly examining the Primordial Spirit suffices.
Li An felt quite tense. He had adjusted the memories related to Lady Yi with the Primordial Spirit Cauldron Skill, combined with the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill, yet at that moment, he distinctly felt that Yi Lingweiâs Soul Searching far surpassed others, delving deeply into Li Anâs many memories, verifying each without leaving anything out.
To delve so deeply into anotherâs Primordial Spirit, could it be that she fears no indescribable backlash?
For a long, long time thereafter.
"Grandmother is still in the mortal world, and indeed, she found a way!"
Yi Lingwei withdrew the gray light, uttering excitedly and murmuring sotto voce.
"To report to you, my lady, Lady Yi instructed me to ask you to build a place for her ascension, to attract the Hongmeng Immortal Light from the Spirit Realm..."
He took out the blueprint given by Lady Yi, which detailed the construction formula for the Immortal Attraction Platform, etc.
Yi Lingwei received the blueprint, contemplating for a long while, yet her brows slightly furrowed, evidently indicating that the Immortal Attraction Platform was not easily achievable, even for her.
After a while, she tucked away the blueprint, looking at Li An, saying: "Now that I think about it, I should call you grandfather, shouldnât I?!"
The words were cold.
From Li Anâs memories regarding Lady Yi, she had learned that Li An had actually married her grandmother.
Although she understood, Grandmotherâs actions were probably to use this person, yet a mere Harmonization Dao Demon Cultivator... it was truly hard for her to accept.
Li Anâs face changed drastically, "To report to you, my lady... these, these were all the ladyâs intentions."
"Hmph."
Yi Lingwei said, "Why is it that regarding the location of Giant Tomb Island within your memory, it canât be found?"
Li An replied, "The lady feared that after I entered the Yi Clan, others would Soul Search me, so she employed methods on the location of Giant Tomb Island, making it untraceable..."
In reality, Lady Yi hadnât thought this far; it was entirely Li Anâs doing!
After all, his advantage lay in the information gap between the two sides. If Yi Lingwei were to dispatch someone directly to find Lady Yi, wouldnât he be utterly doomed on the spot?
"Not even I am allowed to know?"
She sneered.
Li An, with a bold facade, said: "The lady said sheâs at a crucial stage of blood and flesh rebirth, intolerant of interruption. Once the Immortal Attraction Platform is established, she will willingly appear to meet."
"If I rashly spoke out, I would perish as well. Please, my lady, pardon meâ"
Though Yi Lingwei sighed inwardly, she didnât ponder too much. She knew her grandmother was profoundly calculative, and possessed that peerlessly astounding treasure, desired by countless in the Exotic Realm, making such preventive measures reasonable.
She, therefore, did not inquire further, waving her hand, and Yi Lingxue re-entered the secret hall. Yi Lingwei said: "Lingxue, take him to see Yi Yuan, let him learn about cultivating herbs with Yi Yuan."
"Also, fetch me the maps of Bian Province."
Assigning Li An to cultivate Spirit Herbs was evidently to cover up, while demanding the map of Bian Province, as speculated by Li An, aimed to select a location for the Immortal Attraction Platform.
According to Lady Yi, when the Heaven and Earth Dao of the Spirit Realm is broken, the Hongmeng Immortal Light bred within would flow out, the location undoubtedly at the conjunction of the Exotic Realm and Spirit Realm, hence the Immortal Attraction Platform must be built at the corresponding spot.
The Exotic Realm side still canât truly set foot on the Spirit Realm currently, unable to take control, so surely the choice will be on the Exotic Realm side.
And now, where Yi Changfeng and others reside, the Bian Province is the forefront contacting the Spirit Realm!
Yi Lingxue then led Li An away, to the back of Lianyun Mountain, where many medicinal fields had been cultivated, Spirit Medicine was everywhere, and with every breeze, the scent of medicine mingled with a rich smell of blood assaulting the senses.
