Chapter 427: Chapter 257: Reversal, Shocking the World (Extended Chapter)

Following the path indicated by the Spiritual Parrot, Li An ventured deep into the seven-colored mist.

He felt that these mists inexplicably gave him a sense of intimacy, as if they could nurture his Life Seed, and could potentially be used for cultivation.

Back when they entered this place, they also sensed the extraordinary nature of these seven-colored mists, yet they couldn’t utilize them at all!

But Li An remained expressionless.

As he walked, he was rapidly thinking in his mind.

–– All these years, he was merely acting!

With the power of the Life Seed helping him, the Spiritual Parrot never truly influenced his mind.

"The Spiritual Parrot dared not approach the Celestial Coffin itself, which is why it painstakingly nurtured me."

"Pay respects to the Fairy? Receive the Fairy’s guidance and fortune? That’s just its trick!"

"Its target is the Celestial Coffin; whatever lies within is definitely of great importance. If it doesn’t dare to come but sends me, then it’s dangerous for it."

"If I really infuse Demonic Qi into the Celestial Coffin, I would likely die for sure, becoming its cannon fodder..."

He was contemplating a way to break the situation!

At the same time, he instinctively wanted to say something to Shangguan Xiaoxiao in the Spirit Platform, but he held back.

In this situation, Shangguan Xiaoxiao couldn’t help him either.

The fact that he managed to save her was already good enough.

－－ From the moment Li An failed to escape, he understood that he was useful to the Spiritual Parrot.

However, if he wanted to save Shangguan Xiaoxiao, he absolutely couldn’t let the Spiritual Parrot know that he cared for her in the slightest.

Not even the tiniest bit of concern could exist.

But he also needed Shangguan Xiaoxiao to have some influence on Li An and the Spiritual Parrot’s plan, so she could survive through this.

Therefore, Li An was cold to Shangguan Xiaoxiao.

Yet he hinted that Shangguan Xiaoxiao could be beneficial to his Demon Skill.

When the Spiritual Parrot asked him how to deal with the three, Li An keenly sensed that whoever he wanted to save would instead die and fall into a perilous situation.

So, he chose Yun Qian!

Tan Qingxue? He stopped caring a long time ago. Even at this stage, going out of his way to say some nonsense like "wish her happiness" to Yun Qian, how pathetic!

His purpose was to put Yun Qian in the spotlight, using her to divert attention away from Shangguan Xiaoxiao.

Moreover, there was something else to Li An’s actions—he had a Protective Talisman from Yun Qian, and he didn’t believe the Spiritual Parrot hadn’t noticed it.

On top of that, he deliberately showed concern for Yun Qian in various ways... no matter how the Spiritual Parrot thought or speculated, its attention would shift to Yun Qian.

Sure enough, Yun Qian was left behind, while Shangguan Xiaoxiao followed Li An inside.

...

While pondering, Li An continued walking through endless paths of seven-colored mists, until a sea of flowers suddenly appeared in front of him, with various flowers blooming fiercely, showcasing their beauty in a myriad of colors. Each flower seemed to embody the Great Dao, and the floral fragrance was overwhelming, making Li An impulsively feel like directly comprehending the Dao and breaking through to Divinity Transformation!

The seven-colored glow covering the entire secret realm appeared to be emanating from this sea of flowers!

And at the very center of the sea of flowers was a stone coffin, placed tranquilly among the floral splendor, its age unknown.

Stepping into the sea of flowers, Li An was utterly shocked.

What grade of Spirit Medicine were these flowers? It was impossible to estimate!

Just one of them placed in the outside world would probably cause an upheaval in the Spirit Realm, with the legendary Mahayana and tribulation-crossing cultivators competing for it!

"Greetings, Fairy－－"

Meanwhile, as his spirits wavered, the voice of the Spiritual Parrot inexplicably echoed in his mind.

The other side was monitoring him?

Li An felt extremely gloomy inside, as he passed through the sea of flowers and approached the stone coffin, his speed slowing as he neared it, as if he were bearing the weight of Mount Tai, each step becoming heavier.

This stone coffin, merely by its presence here, exerted an overwhelming pressure that ordinary people couldn’t endure. Li An took out the Jade Ring given by the Spiritual Parrot, which lessened the intense pressure.

Nonetheless, it left Li An extremely anxious and on edge.

He finally stood before the Celestial Coffin.

"Quick, infuse Demonic Qi and Magic Power into the Celestial Coffin to awaken the Fairy－－"

The voice of the Spiritual Parrot urged in his mind.

Li An’s forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat, he was extremely tense, and slowly raised his hand to touch the stone coffin.

The stone coffin was hard and cold. At the moment of contact, Li An’s Life Nourishing Immortal Skill inexplicably began to operate autonomously, and his Life Seed seemed to tremble!

Li An quickly suppressed the fluctuation of the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The qi of the Life Seed seemed to want to flow into this coffin on its own?

This was the first time Li An had encountered such a situation!

Since he started cultivating the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill, there had been virtually nothing and no one in the outside world that could affect the Life Seed, not even the Primal Chaos Mother Qi, which was known as the substance of creation, was higher than the Life Seed!

He almost immediately confirmed that... his Life Nourishing Immortal Skill must originate from the entity within this coffin.

It saved Li An back then, gave him the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill, allowing him to be reborn...

Now, having cultivated some success, Li An found himself here again by some unknown fate, and the existence within the coffin seemingly needed the power of the Life Seed...

"Hurry up, what are you waiting for?"

The voice of the Spiritual Parrot was urgent, already a bit impatient, "Did you forget everything that Master told you? The one within the Celestial Coffin is your ancestor, now is your time to repay and pay respects to your ancestor, don’t miss this opportunity..."

Li An’s temples were soaked with sweat, his pressure was unprecedentedly immense.
