The Xuanhuo Mirror is the essence of all fires, belonging to the extreme yang and strength, which is the natural enemy of the Beast God.
However, the Beast God is immortal and indestructible, so Linglong can only suppress it, not kill it.
The final story is the one that Li Qingan knows well.
The Beast God, consumed by its malevolent energy, wreaked havoc on the human world. Linglong, with the help of the Mysterious Fire Mirror and the Eight Fiends Mysterious Fire Array, summoned the Eight Desolate Fire Dragons to incinerate the Beast God's physical body and seal it in the Demon-Suppressing Ancient Cave.
Until now.
After hearing Linglong's story, and the love-hate entanglement between her and the Beast God.
Li Qing'an was more curious about what kind of magic Linglong had obtained from that stone cave.
Why couldn't it be found when they went to look for it again?
And why is it in a pit?
Li Qingan was very interested in these questions.
Even when Li Qing'an heard that Linglong had inexplicably obtained that secret technique from that stone cave, he felt a sense of déjà vu!
Isn't this the part where Xiao Luo inexplicably found the Blood-Dripping Cave in the Abyss of the Dead?
It should be noted that even Li Qingan was completely bewildered at the time, and he was certain that it was the result of Xiao Luo's luck.
Linglong had made no progress in her research on the mystery of immortality, but once she entered the stone cave, she felt that she was making rapid progress.
Although they failed to crack the mystery of immortality, they did develop a method to summon souls.
Does this mean that the world, or some powerful force, is pushing Linglong to take this action?
Li Qingan made his own guess.
They even wanted to ask the world's will why things were like this.
However, upon further reflection, Li Qingan smiled helplessly.
He himself is not worthy to ask questions of that world will.
The only reason I was able to see him in a certain special situation before was because Li Qingan had some effect on him!
Li Qingan estimated that if he could reach the next level of the Returning Origin Realm, he might be able to communicate with it on equal terms!
Closer to home.
In his estimation, Linglong's creation of the Beast God was an inevitable step in the world's development.
However, we don't know the reason why!
However, Li Qing'an didn't want to care about any of that; he was just a little preoccupied with the secret technique in Linglong's mind.
With this, I believe Xiao Luo wouldn't have needed so long to develop intelligence before.
Now, it seems like we could try using the pine and cypress trees on Tianzhen Peak on it too!
It seems to be very useful!
It seems they understood Li Qing'an's thoughts.
A delicate, slender, and somewhat ethereal figure sighed softly a few times beside Li Qing'an.
"Looking back, the past is like flowing water!"
"I know you're very interested in that secret technique of spirit infusion!"
Li Qingan nodded.
"That secret technique, I named it the 'Spirit Pointing Spell,' and its effects are incredibly powerful!"
"According to our previous agreement, perhaps I should pass on all the spells to you, but I want to make a request and ask you a question regarding this secret technique!"
"I hope you can answer me truthfully!"
Linglong turned her head, her bright eyes and white teeth revealing a hidden emotion in her gaze as she looked at Li Qingan.
Li Qingan raised an eyebrow. "Tell me about it, and I'll decide based on the situation!"
Linglong didn't press him, and stated her first condition:
"I need your help to suppress or kill the Beast God, so that he can no longer harm the world!"
His tone was very firm, and there was even a hint of regret in it.
Li Qingan's heart skipped a beat, and he agreed.
He and the Beast God are now essentially at odds. Since the Beast God wants to destroy the world, Li Qing'an naturally has to stop him.
However, what puzzled or surprised Li Qing'an was Linglong's determination at this moment.
Li Qing'an could sense that Linglong truly felt the Beast God should no longer exist in this world and couldn't wait for Li Qing'an to send him away.
Perhaps there are still some feelings between the two, but so many years have passed.
Even the deepest feelings are like the moon in a mirror or a flower in water.
Moreover, the relationship between the two of them was something between mother and son, but more than friendship.
It's not love yet!
How can it withstand the test of time?
Furthermore, the Beast God was the murderer who killed the Linglong clan. Given Linglong's personality, their guilt and regret towards their clansmen probably outweigh any feelings they might have for the Beast God!
After thinking it over, Li Qingan finally made up his mind.
I couldn't help but find the Beast God's tragic situation strangely amusing.
Immediately afterwards, Linglong looked Li Qingan up and down, her eyes full of exploration!
Seeing this, Li Qing'an felt a little flustered and worried about Linglong's condition.
“These days, I have learned that five-colored pillars of light have appeared in the Divine Continent, and the location of four of them can be found.”
"In my southern Xinjiang region, we have yet to find the location of that red pillar of light."
"Based on your assessment of the location of that pillar of light, it is likely in the stone cave where I found the Spirit Pointing Incantation."
A glint of light flashed in Li Qingan's eyes.
He became even more curious about the stone cave. It contained mysterious spells and its location was impossible to find, so it seemed like something valuable.
he likes!
Li Qingan made up his mind that he must find it and go take another look.
"Your other question is whether I know where that cave or the red pillar of light is?"
Li Qingan looked at Linglong and replied.
Linglong shook her head: "No, this matter is not important to a remnant soul like mine."
"What I want to ask is, fellow Daoist, have you felt that the concentration of spiritual energy in this world is constantly rising? Do you know what's going on?"
"Where are the people who could have instigated such a groundbreaking act?"
"Or perhaps, this person is you, fellow Daoist?"
Chapter 288 The Mystery of Immortality! Revealed!
"Or perhaps, you, fellow Daoist, are the one who caused such a strange change in the Divine Land?"
Hearing Linglong's words, Li Qing'an did not refute them. He wanted to see what Linglong had to say, so he nodded and said:
"What does Fellow Daoist Linglong wish to ask for?"
"It must have been you, fellow Daoist, who did this!"
Linglong suddenly smiled, her smile as bright as a flower.
Li Qingan nodded and then shook his head: "It's me, yet it's not me. I just gave it a push!"
"Fellow Daoist is too modest. You must have gained a lot from causing such a celestial phenomenon!"
Linglong stared intently at Li Qingan.
Li Qing'an looked back on the past without revealing a single detail!
Are we getting to the main topic?
"Oh? What does Fellow Daoist Linglong want?"
Linglong sighed, turned her head away, no longer staring at Li Qingan, but instead looking into the depths of the southern border in the distance.
"To cause such a strange phenomenon, have you already figured out the mystery of immortality, fellow Daoist?"
"I originally thought that after the incident with the Beast God, I was no longer so obsessed with the pursuit of the mystery of immortality, but I never expected that in this era, someone would be able to influence the world to such an extent!!"
"And this era must be the closest to achieving immortality. I've been racking my brains these past few days, but my cultivation is still insufficient..."
Li Qingan smiled calmly.
Immortality? If we're talking about the "True Secrets of Array Formation" that he researched, then it might truly be a path to immortality!
However, even so, the hardships and difficulties along the way need no further explanation!
"Fellow Daoist Linglong, have you ever heard of becoming an immortal?"
"Become an immortal?!"
Linglong suddenly turned her head, "What do you mean, fellow Daoist?"
Li Qingan nodded:
"Since ancient times, the pursuit of immortality has always revolved around becoming an immortal; however, becoming an immortal does not necessarily lead to immortality!"
"To blindly pursue the mystery of immortality is to put the cart before the horse!"
"We cultivators defy fate and change our destiny. From being mortals for a mere hundred years, it has now been at least a hundred years and at most several hundred years. In the eyes of those mortals, aren't we immortals too?"
"And the progress and leaps in this process are all thanks to the methods we have practiced!"
"Therefore, I believe that to achieve immortality, one must first become an immortal. Becoming an immortal requires continuous progress in cultivation, breaking through the usual boundaries of realms, and then taking another step forward to have the opportunity to become an immortal!"
Li Qingan spoke eloquently, exuding an air of confidence and authority.
Linglong was taken aback, unsure of what to feel.
