Is it world consciousness? Or is it the world's womb?
But whatever it is, it's all too far from him now.
'Let's wait until after this to fulfill our promise and rescue the white fox, then we can take it slow!'
Li Qing'an thought to himself!
As Li Qingan's consciousness and soul gradually returned.
The five-colored pillars of light that had been shooting into the sky across the entire continent of China now shone brightly.
Outside the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury.
The azure pillar of light that had originally reached the sky began to stabilize and stopped absorbing spiritual energy.
Similar to this place, the pillars of light in Qingyunmen, Tianyin Temple, and other places in the Southern Frontier all stabilized.
However, the pillar of light still hadn't disappeared; it remained standing in the sky, looking like five pillars supporting the heavens.
This is truly the most wondrous sight since ancient times!
Outside the towering divine tree, the vortex of spiritual energy ended.
The Ghost King also came to his senses, looking at the righteous disciples in front of him, pondering whether he should kill them all.
The scene he had just witnessed filled him with a very ominous premonition.
Why did this strange phenomenon occur? And who caused it?
Having witnessed the entire process, the Ghost King had an answer in his heart.
The only one capable of causing such a commotion is Li Qing'an, who is still in the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury.
Li Qingan's strength has probably improved significantly, but he would be unwilling to let Xiao Yicai go so easily.
Their purpose in coming here was to find the yellow bird, but they were thwarted by Faxiang, Xiao Yicai and others, which led to him mistakenly capturing the Black Water Serpent.
But it's uncertain whether the Black Water Serpent will be of any use.
A sharp glint flashed in the Ghost King's eyes as he pondered for a few more moments.
He then looked at Faxiang and the others, and asked Guili in a low voice, "Guili, you can handle these people!"
Gui Li narrowed his eyes slightly and said without hesitation, "Since the sect leader is here, then the sect leader shall make all the decisions!"
Gui Li spoke, but he had no intention of making any move.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
At this moment, Youji looked through the black veil at Gui Li and the Ghost King, pondering how to ease the tension.
She remembered that a long time ago, Li Qing'an had asked her and Biyao to take care of Gui Li.
She was about to speak, breaking the silence.
"Pooh!"
Suddenly, a cold snort of utter disdain came from not far away.
Everyone looked over, and it was Lin Jingyu, Gui Li's childhood friend. His face was as cold as ice, and he said coldly, "You heretics, why bother with your talkativeness? If you want to fight, then fight!"
This statement came out.
Xiao Yicai opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
He also said he planned to stall for time until Li Qing'an came out of seclusion.
Unexpectedly, Junior Brother Lin from Dragon Head Peak is so impatient!
But since things have come to this, there's no need to worry too much; let's just fight.
Upon hearing this, the Ghost King's expression remained unchanged. Instead, he turned and asked, "I remember this person is Lin Jingyu, your childhood friend!"
Gui Li's alarm bells rang loudly. Lin Jingyu might have good aptitude, but he was far from being someone that could be recognized at a glance.
But the Ghost King could recognize them, and a chill ran through him as he secretly pondered how to help them overcome this calamity!
The Ghost King looked at him and said calmly, "Vice Sect Master, tell me! What should we do?"
"After we resolve this matter, we'll go and capture the yellow birds, so they don't ruin my plans here!"
Xiao Yicai and the others looked solemn, but they dared not make the first move.
They knew that compared to the Ghost King and his group, their strength was like an ant trying to shake a tree.
The only way to save us is to buy time.
Just as Gui Li was contemplating whether or not he should transform into Zhang Xiaofan again.
The Ghost King suddenly let out a soft exclamation, looking at the strange phenomenon in the sky.
Several golden lotuses actually sprouted in the sky above the Tongtian Divine Tree, exuding Daoist charm and spreading spiritual energy, while invisible waves spread out in all directions.
Wherever they went, the injuries that Xiao Yicai and the others had sustained in the battle healed rapidly.
On the Tongtian Divine Tree, the damage caused by the battle between the giant beasts began to gradually recover.
Flowers of various colors are beginning to reappear.
Then,
The Ghost King's expression turned solemn as he gazed into the distance, thinking to himself:
"Ah, it's too late! Gui Li..."
With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, the Ghost King gazed silently ahead.
Then, the Five Elements Formation that had been covering the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury began to dissipate.
He knew Li Qing'an was about to emerge from seclusion!
Even Zeng Shushu and the others were overjoyed and quickly gathered together, retreating to the vicinity of the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury.
The Ghost King didn't stop them, he just watched. He was now curious whether the towering blue pillar of light was because of Li Qing'an.
Did Li Qing'an obtain a magical artifact comparable to the Zhuxian Ancient Sword?
At this moment, no one spoke, and the room fell silent.
A few breaths later, the sound of footsteps, one heavy and one light, appeared.
Ghost King and Azure Dragon all stared intently at the newcomer.
Before long, a man and a woman emerged from the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, and then in a flash, appeared before everyone.
The man was handsome, with a calm expression. He wore a blue robe, his hair styled in a topknot, and his long hair moved without wind. His overall demeanor was like a stubborn rock on a mountain peak, or a pine tree...
Of all the myriad changes, none could surpass this.
The woman was stunningly beautiful, but there was a look of worry in her eyes. Her bright and clear eyes would occasionally glance at Li Qing'an.
"Uncle-Master Li!" X5
Everyone bowed respectfully to Li Qing'an.
Li Qingan remained calm and raised his right finger slightly, and everyone was helped up.
Zeng Shushu looked at Li Qing'an, who was not saying a word, and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was going on.
Behind the Ghost King is You Ji, a close friend of Li Qing'an, with whom he knows each other inside and out.
The moment Li Qingan appeared in public, she noticed something was wrong with him.
She looked up at Lu Xueqi next to Li Qingan, and felt inexplicably anxious!
Chapter 204 Departure! *The True Techniques of Array Formation*
Lu Xueqi stood silently behind Li Qingan, her expression unchanged, but her eyes were fixed on Li Qingan.
Beneath that icy, peerless beauty, there seemed to be an undisguised concern.
Youji looked at Li Qing'an again.
As the saying goes, the eyes are the windows to the soul, and you can see a lot from them.
The more Youji looked, the more she felt something was wrong.
Li Qingan's eyes weren't like that!
Youji felt as if her heart was being squeezed, but with the Ghost King and Lu Xueqi present, she couldn't go forward and could only watch from afar.
"Senior Ghost King, it seems this trip has been quite fruitful!"
Li Qingan looked at the Dragon-Subduing Cauldron in the Ghost King's hand and said calmly.
"I can't compare to you, young friend!" The Ghost King laughed heartily. "Now that you've obtained a rare treasure from the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, your strength has likely increased even further, and you're not far from reaching the Taiqing Realm!"
Faced with the Ghost King's probing questions, Li Qing'an smiled calmly, offering no explanation or further comment.
At this moment, his soul was somewhat exhausted, and he could not exert even 10% of his strength. If he forced himself to fight, it would only worsen his injuries.
It's really not worth it!
After all, even if he were to take action, he would probably only be able to fight to a draw against two peak Shangqing Realm cultivators.
If we can't kill them, we can only let them escape.
The Ghost King's eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to glean some information from Li Qing'an's face.
Unfortunately, given Li Qing'an's current state, not even the Ghost King or Li Qing'an's own mother could discern anything from his face.
"Very well! Since you are unwilling to say more, young friend, then I would like to ask you about this cyan pillar of light. Do you know why?"
The Ghost King asked again.
Li Qingan simply shook his head.
During his operation, he discovered from that special angle that five pillars of light had appeared across the entire Divine Continent, and that they had absorbed a significant amount of spiritual energy.
In a short period of time, the concentration of spiritual energy in the entire area decreased by at least one-tenth.
However, things have calmed down now, and the next step is to wait for the formation to start operating and increase the concentration of spiritual energy in the world of Jade Dynasty.
Having finished his business, Li Qing'an left without saying anything more.
They'll find out later.
