Chapter 463: Time Reveals a Person's True Nature

The key is the motivation behind setting up the formation.He built Hell.He naturally constructed the formation.So, his purpose in doing all this wasn't just to cultivate, but to survive until now!Emperor Yu Tian's subordinates claim he left without saying goodbye, claiming he has no connection to that generation.Shen Ji was a powerful figure from the post-Emperor Yu Tian era. His actions in the immortal realm were simply to fulfill his master's last wish.What he's doing now is truly about himself!So, we can conclude.The Heaven-Defying Ones didn't lose, and have survived to this day through special means.Let's continue to reason.Since they didn't lose, there's no reason not to continue practicing the art of transcendence.Why wait until now?There must be something wrong.Everyone knows this era is special.A time of great strife.Perhaps only such an era possesses the conditions necessary to achieve the art of transcendence!And Li An is almost certain. I've long been in the game, a crucial chess piece.The mastermind manipulating this chess piece is none other than the Heaven Deceiver!Because the Ghost Lord had tipped off Li An.The eight major interest groups within the Hezong Alliance are all connected to 'Transcendence'!The Second Lin of the Tree Heart Forest must be hiding something.In the Tree Heart Lake, Liu Sheng again specifically requested Liu Dahu.Liu Dahu was once the most powerful weapon refiner of the human race. He possessed the innate ability to change the world, mastering everything from formations to weapon refinement.Undoubtedly, he was special.The Heaven Deceiver's plan could use him!"Huh..."In the steaming bathroom, Li An exhaled, turned off the shower, and sat alone on the edge of the tub, head bowed, his eyes a playful expression.In truth, this game of chess had begun the moment Shen Ji locked himself in his cell.He wasn't just playing against me; he was also giving himself time to observe the formations. Liu Sheng in the Heart of the Tree Lake called out Liu Dahu's name again, reminding himself.So.The manipulator hadn't hidden himself.The Heaven-Deceiver had already made his presence known.You are ours, and we need your help.This is how the powerful of the old times operated.They wouldn't explicitly tell themselves their mission objectives.Everything had to be understood and figured out on their own.Because this, in itself, was a test.If I couldn't even understand such a simple thing, I couldn't help them accomplish their great cause.But why should I help them accomplish their great cause?Confident that he had learned everything, the Heaven-Deceiver was willing to assist them.Because.The Heaven-Deceiver also had rivals.Shen Ji was so powerful, and there were six other masters of his level.Seven masters of that level could do whatever they pleased in the universe.Only one person was worthy enough to be their enemy and stop their plans—the Son of Heaven!Lin Lao Er had already revealed this to him.The Gates of Heaven were wide open. A fierce battle.The aura of the Heaven Gate vanished.The aura of the Heaven Deceiver and his enemies vanished with it.Perhaps.Those Sons of the Azure Sky never returned to heaven, but were hiding in some corner of the Hezong Alliance, waiting to wipe out Shen Ji and his men once again.Of course, other reasons were possible.But regardless, these people must exist.Otherwise, Shen Ji and his men wouldn't have to worry; no one could stop them.Thinking it all through, Li An could come to a conclusion.This was a duel between the Sons of the Azure Sky and the Heaven Deceiver.He was a contestant on the Heaven Deceiver's side!At this moment,The geniuses of the seven generations had gathered in the Hezong Alliance.Perhaps some of them had already sided with the Sons of the Azure Sky.For example, that hypocritical boy today!Who else?The Ghost Lord?It was hard to say. Although I had only met him once, I was certain he was a special kind of person.Egoistic, paranoid, proud, and intelligent. Such a person wouldn't easily become another's pawn unless the other party had sufficient leverage.So it's hard to say.In fact, Li An wasn't afraid of anyone becoming Cang Tian's pawn.He was only worried about Cang Tian's son reaching out to the human race.So, Li An immediately hand-painted a portrait of Zhou Shu and sent it to the group chat."This person is a bit strange. Everyone stay away from him."Everyone saw it and responded, "Got it, got it."Next.Li An dressed and walked out of the bathroom, humming a song, his head ablaze with energy to dry his hair faster.Yuri leaned against the window and asked curiously, "Li An, don't you have elemental talents too? Why do you need to take a bath in the bathroom?""Wouldn't it be better to just use the water element once and the fire element to dry it?"Li An yawned and said, "Life's three great pleasures.""Eating, sleeping, and taking a bath."Hui Hui nodded quickly and splashed around in the tree's heart lake, feeling incredibly refreshed. Yuri pouted. As a bird, he hated water.Then, the doorbell rang.The four people in the room, some confused, some nervous, some stepped forward.The door opened.Then came the dusty Liu Dahu.Liu Dahu grumbled, "I always feel like I'm your logistics chief."Li An laughed, "Brother Hu, you're awesome!"Liu Dahu snorted, "Get to work! Get done quickly and rest early."Li An looked at Huihui and asked him to take out the willow branch.Huihui pulled the branch out of his trouser pocket.Liu Dahu's face suddenly changed when he saw the branch's appearance.He stared at Huihui with wide eyes and said, "You crumpled this treasure into a ball and stuffed it in your pocket!""Huh?" Huihui was a little confused. "No... can't I?"Liu Dahu turned to look at Li An and said, "He's your helper on this trip?""Yes," Li An nodded with a smile."You can still laugh?" Liu Dahu shook his head and sighed.Then, he carefully traced the grain of the willow branch before saying, "It'll take a long time to make this into a sword."Li An asked curiously, "This is a branch from a willow tree in the Heartwood Forest.""Nonsense, Liu Sheng, everyone knows that," Liu Dahu snorted. "He's a big shot.""Forget it, you haven't reached that level yet, so there's no need to tell you all that.""Let's put the sword-making aside for now. Let me help you melt the Myriad Dao Stone."Li An nodded quickly. "Oh, right," Liu Dahu frowned. "I heard the waters of the Hezong Alliance are quite treacherous.""What do you think?""What's it to me?" Li An smiled. "I'll get some resources, cultivate my Dao Heart, and reach a higher realm. Time will pass quickly.""As soon as I got here, I ran into that Ghost Lord. He told me about ancient ruins, the Heavenly Deception Seal, and all that nonsense.""Everyone knows it's a hell of a pit. Only a fool would jump in."Liu Dahu asked in surprise, "Don't you have any curiosity at all?""I heard it's a legacy left by an ancient master."Li An said calmly, "For me, the mighty ones in the heavens are meant to be surpassed.""Good boy." Liu Dahu nodded in satisfaction. "Let's go. Which room?""This one." Li An pointed to a bedroom.Entering, he immediately closed the window and drew the curtains.The sunlight that had been flooding the room vanished.The light reappeared on the roof of the hotel, eventually taking on a human form. The Light Ruler reported everything he saw and heard to the Ghost Lord.Nothing unusual.Li An seemed genuinely unwilling to participate in the affairs of the ruins."I don't believe it," the Ghost Lord said. "You're idle anyway.""When you're free, hide by Li An's side.""I believe that time reveals a person's true character."
