"Enough, enough, let’s start the trial. Junior Sister Nianxue is right, it’s indeed unnecessary. We’re not on the same level. Challenging him is demeaning to ourselves."

Fen Dao, who was beside him, also spoke up, and the crowd immediately dispersed.

Li Nianxue was the last to leave. She looked at Li An, and a hint of sympathy seemed to flicker in her clear eyes. She said, "Uncle Li, don’t take them too seriously."

"My mother told me that you, you’re a good person..."

"I’m off to the trial now!"

She waved her hand and then left.

Li An watched her back, but couldn’t help a trace of contemplation flashing in his mind.

His Life Nourishing Immortal Skill didn’t sense Tan Qingxue’s life essence from this Li Nianxue...

Only Li Yunxiao’s!

What’s going on?

The Life Nourishing Immortal Skill can’t be wrong!

Could it be that Li Nianxue is Li Yunxiao’s daughter, but not born of Tan Qingxue?

Was Tan Qingxue cuckolded by Li Yunxiao?

Regarding having children, women can cuckold men, but how can men cuckold women? After all, the child is in the woman’s belly...

Strange...

"Half is Li Yunxiao’s Evil Suppressing Bloodline, and the other half is Demon Blood, which is not the same as Tan Qingxue’s!"

"Did Li Yunxiao have a daughter with a demon? The key is, Tan Qingxue acknowledged it? I’ve heard their marital relationship is quite good..."

This couple seems rather peculiar, but he didn’t think much about it. As for Tan Qingxue, he had completely let it go thousands of years ago when he left the Profound Yang Sect’s Qingyang market.

One could even say Tan Qingxue had never truly entered his heart.

Later, after Tan Qingxue became part of the Demon Race, and collaborated together to fight against Shangguan Shengxian and others, she even gave Li An a top-grade Nascent Soul Pill before entering the Dao Sect... But none of that had moved Li An in the slightest.

Actually, fundamentally, Tan Qingxue and Li An were of the same mind, each prioritizing themselves, or one could say... self-serving individuals.

It’s just that she might be more sentimental, while Li An was utterly indifferent.

After arranging everything, Li An began pondering another matter.

The Supreme will be coming to Nanfu Island in a while.

He’s most likely coming to select the location for the Celestial Ceremony!

At the Celestial Ceremony, all of Dao Sect’s mid-lifers will strive for the Immortal Dao. Moreover, at that time, Taiqingzi will secretly collaborate with Shangguan Shengxian and Shangguan Xiaoxiao, helping the two to become Alien Immortals...

Li An pondered over this.

If the final location is chosen on Nanfu Island, then at the Celestial Ceremony, it would mean many peerless talents would show up...

Top-tier talents like Yun Qian and Helian Tuxian, as well as Peak Master-level figures like Tan Qingxue and Li Yunxiao, would arrive.

Confronting all of them, Li An didn’t have the guts.

That would be akin to challenging the entire Dao Sect!

Moreover, when they become immortals, immortals throughout the Tao Sect will come. Making the event too big... that’s literally courting death.

But while big things can’t be done, there’s a great opportunity for small things!

There’s bound to be a lot of mid-level experts from the Dao Sect. If ten or eight of them die during the Celestial Ceremony, no one should suspect anything, right?

Especially since the Dao Sect wants to actively attract the Southern Sea Immortal Wind, if they do manage to come, with the weird storms that follow, it’s completely normal for people to die. If Li An wanted to make a move, he would have the perfect cover.

Besides, if during the Celestial Ceremony there’s really no opportunity to take action, Li An can just watch the heroes become immortals, and learn about the secretive process of becoming immortal and so on.

After the Celestial Ceremony ends, he’ll still have the opportunity to gather blood food.

Because once the Celestial Ceremony is successfully held, Nanfu Island will inevitably become a Cultivation Holy Land. After all, so many geniuses would have become immortals here!

Talented figures from various major forces will flock here, to pay tribute, to learn, to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors, and in terms of numbers and quality, it’s bound to far surpass the present!

Only then would Li An have enough fish in his net.

All these years, he had thought about taking action, but the talents from the Dao Sect and other forces... their levels were relatively low.

They couldn’t meet Lady Yi’s requirements for the flesh reconstruction.

At least Mahayana, Crossing the Tribulation level, and quite a few are needed too.

After contemplating everything, Li An had made a decision in his heart!

To propel a wave, so that the Dao Sect chooses this place as the location for the Celestial Ceremony, one hundred benefits without a single harm.

Advance, he could take the opportunity to attack Dao Sect’s geniuses, collecting flesh and blood.

Retreat, observe the world’s calamity toward immortality, and reap no small harvest. After the Celestial Ceremony, he’d also have more opportunities to gather blood food!

With his mind made up, the most important thing now is to ensure that the Supreme who is about to arrive chooses Nanfu Island...

"The Immortal Ceremony will attract the Southern Sea Immortal Wind, and the environment of Nanfu Island already has a natural advantage... I’ll add fuel to the fire!"

He quietly went out to sea, took out the corpse of the Exotic Spirit given by Shangguan Xiaoxiao, extracted all the aura from the corpse, refined it, and then directed these strange energies, along with the seawater, slowly towards Nanfu Island...

...

Good night.
