Chapter 364: Chapter 241: Island Master of Evil Spirit Island (Long Chapter)

In one month, Li An checked Xiaoqing’s condition. Currently at the early stage of Rank Four, its battle strength was so strong that even a late-stage Nascent Soul would struggle against it.

Xiaoqing had manifested a perfect Nascent Soul, awakening the innate fire— a pale golden flame of great power, capable of burning even Rank Four magical artifacts.

Moreover, with the nurturing of Li An’s Life Seed aura over time, its vitality and spiritual power had become immensely strong.

Li An took stock of his recent gains.

After eliminating over a dozen True Core cultivators, he had acquired a considerable sum, now possessing over three hundred top-grade spirit stones and more than forty thousand upper-grade spirit stones.

There were also some Rank Three materials among his spoils.

"It’s time for me to break through to the Nascent Soul..."

Li An pondered, for he could step into the Nascent Soul at any time, but needed to plan carefully.

He placed Xiaoqing and Dahei into his sleeves. Dahei, afraid of Xiaoqing, hid in his left sleeve while Xiaoqing changed its feather color and settled into his right sleeve.

As he walked out, Li An contemplated his destination.

The Primordial Spirit Continent had formed from the ascension from the Primordial Spirit Realm. Li An confirmed that this realm was indeed the one he cultivated in his past life.

The Primordial Spirit Realm included regions like the Thousand Water Rhythm Continent, Great Wilderness Realm, and South Peak Continent.

In his previous life, his cultivation clan resided in the Thousand Water Rhythm Continent!

However, he had no desire to seek out his past family. Living another life, to him, his past family was just history— the children would have their own fortunes, rises, and falls, and Li An, the ’ancestor,’ had no intention of interfering.

Improving himself was more than enough.

He chose to come to the Thousand Water Rhythm Continent for two reasons: first, he was very familiar with the area’s topography and spirit vein distribution.

Secondly, the entrance to a secret realm he explored in his past life was located in the Thousand Water Rhythm Continent.

The former territory of the Profound Yang Sect, now the Seven Yin Sect, was not a place for Li An to linger. Naturally, he needed to find a place where he could settle and establish himself.

Fortunately, the entire New Continent was a blue ocean, and under the influence of the power of heaven and earth, the spirit veins were rapidly growing, so resources were ample.

"Evil Spirit Lake."

Li An recalled a place and immediately set off.

Evil Spirit Lake, located within Ji Country in the Thousand Water Rhythm Continent, Li An remembered it was a Rank Three spirit vein. However, due to the evil spirits inhabiting Pearl Lake and the surrounding miasma, no sect had established there.

For Li An, miasma and evil qi were not problems— rather, they were greatly beneficial.

...

Ten days later.

Li An finally arrived at Shuiyue Province in Ji Country. Evil Spirit Lake was here, where mist shrouded the water’s surface, and the lake spanned over two hundred miles with an island at the center, veiled in clouds and mist.

After a thorough investigation, Li An confirmed that there was indeed no one around, and it remained an unclaimed spirit vein!

After all, with good spirit veins abundant everywhere, who would bother with a place like this?

After ensuring his detection was correct, Li An instructed Dahei to lead the way to avoid any dangers. Dahei glanced at Li An resentfully but swam obediently towards the water.

As they approached Lake Heart Island, a fierce battle erupted— Dahei suffered greatly as three Rank Three evil spirits appeared, nearly getting him killed.

After confirming there were no higher-level evil spirits, Li An suddenly descended, activating his Soul-Devouring Sonic Wave Skill, shaking the three Rank Three evil spirits into reverence. Li An captured them directly!

Having followed the Ten Thousand Souls Sect elder Tuoba Wanchong and with the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill in his arsenal, these mere evil spirits were nothing to Li An, merely sustenance.

After rescuing Dahei, Li An finally landed safely on Lake Heart Island.

The island was not large, only about seven or eight miles in circumference, but it housed a Rank Three spirit vein, making it lush and verdant, home to many spirit beasts. Upon sensing it, Li An detected two Rank Three spirit beasts, and the rest were Tier Two, posing no threat.

Apart from the pervasive miasma, the scenery was quite pleasant.

"This is the place."

Quite pleased, he carved out a cave residence atop the highest stone mountain on Lake Heart Island, providing a view of the entire island and the full expanse of Evil Spirit Lake.

"The spirit vein has changed significantly, and the spiritual Qi is exceedingly rich. In less than fifty years, this Rank Three spirit vein will undoubtedly advance to a Rank Four!"

This was why Li An chose this location.

To break through to the Nascent Soul, a Rank Four spirit vein must be available as a cultivation site. But all Rank Four spirit veins were claimed; even though Li An had the strength, he didn’t wish to cause bloodshed to take one.

There was no need— he didn’t want to attract attention.

He only needed to wait some time.

In any case, Li An had a lot of preparations to make.

The spirit land was found, but he needed to set up at least a Rank Four array for protection, along with guardians like the Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow and Dahei Python, to safely break through to the Nascent Soul.

He hadn’t yet gathered the materials for a Rank Four array.

"Bring all the Tier Two and Rank Three spirit beasts on the island to me."

Li An instructed, and Dahei and Xiaoqing left while Li An began constructing a Rank Three array.

The resources he obtained from Xue Li and others were enough to make two Rank Three arrays.

Not long after, a dozen spirit beasts were driven before Li An, trembling. Among them, the strongest were a tall spirit leopard and a pale golden lynx, both Rank Three. Under the Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow’s pressure, they knelt on the ground without daring to move.

"From now on, you will follow me, guarding my home and courtyard. I will not mistreat you."

Li An completed the Beast Taming ritual with the spirit leopard, lynx, and other promising Tier Two spirit beasts, then bestowed a trace of Life Seed aura upon them.
