Chapter 623 Li An's Vow to Himself

Suddenly, Li An grabbed the Ghost Lord's hand.The Ghost Lord felt Li An's cold, rough palm, his face stiffening. "What are you doing?"Li An smiled and said, "Ghost, huh?""My elders told me that this attack by the Heng Clan is just a mission.""A mission issued by one person to the thirteen kingdoms.""You understand what I mean, right?"The Ghost Lord twitched his lips and said, "You want my help for the next twelve battles too?""I'm very expensive."Li An cleared his throat and said, "Why talk about money with someone we have? That's vulgar.""A bosom friend afar brings a distant land near, ... "Though separated by vast distances, we are as close as neighbors.""What do you think?" The Ghost Lord grabbed Li An's hand with a backhand, saying earnestly, "I can always help you, always stand behind you and provide support, always stay by your side.""And I only have one request." Li An's buttocks tightened, his smile froze, and he said, "Go ahead."The Ghost Lord said seriously, "The incurable injuries of my other five team members.""I really can't cure them.""Luck can.""Is that so? But it requires a special formula, right?""Humans can do it.""What do you mean?" Li An frowned.The Ghost Lord stared straight at him, saying, "If you can obtain the formula for physical sainthood, then you can obtain the formula for curing incurable injuries, right?"Li An remained silent for a long time, then said, "I'll try."Hearing this, the Ghost Lord smiled broadly: "Remember to call me next time you go to war.""Okay." Li An nodded."Do I still need to comfort you?" the Ghost Lord asked.Li An glanced at him and said, "I have someone specifically to comfort me.""Someone specifically?" Ghost Lord: "Oh.""Shuangxue?""What do you think?"Li An got up, preparing to go to his wife's gentle embrace for comfort.Suddenly, he stopped and said, "You originally had the Third Heaven Realm, and then you condensed your Dao Soul and reached the Third Heaven Divine Realm, right?""Yes." Ghost Lord said self-deprecatingly, "Now it seems you're several levels below me, but condensing a Dao Soul allowed you to surpass me. The improvement a Dao Soul brings to a cultivator is transformative.""Your Dao Soul must be unique, right? This kind of advancement without ascending to godhood depends heavily on fate."Li An nodded emphatically upon hearing this, "Okay, I understand.""Thank you."He bid farewell to Ghost Lord.Shuangxue was feasting at the victory banquet when a message from Li An's Star Platform summoned her back to her room.She blinked her adorable big eyes and said, "Brother Melancholy, are you done being melancholy?"Upon hearing this, Li An's face tilted, and he said, "Alright, alright, now you can be shameless too.""Brother is going to punish you properly."With that, he immediately reached out and grabbed Shuangxue's wrists, pressing her against the wall.Shuangxue's eyes revealed a defiant glint: "Husband, you still have energy after fighting all night?""Seeing my Xue'er makes me feel like I have inexhaustible strength.""And like this?" Shuangxue's shoulder strap slipped down, and she blinked her big eyes."Even stronger!"...The song ended.Shuangxue lay in Li An's arms, her eyes closed, completely absorbed in the moment."I've discovered that my Ice Emperor still has a lot of room for improvement.""Every piece of ice in the world, regardless of its elemental properties, can become my weapon or armor."Li An nodded silently, thinking that later he could use the Supreme Will to absorb new ice elements for Shuangxue to use.Li An: "I must find a way to attain the Divine Realm.""Zhuge Tianming told me about my path to enlightenment.""Become the God in everyone's eyes.""That really sounds like that abstract meme.""How can the world see you as the supreme God if you don't become a God?""Once you become the supreme God, you can attain the Divine Realm.""Today I saw the Divine Realm power of Ghost Lord and Zhao Shaolong.""Having a Dao Soul and not having one are truly two different worlds."What to do?Li An, deep in thought about a solution, unknowingly fell asleep.Shuangxue gently stroked his skin.The next day, a surprise woke Li An.He abruptly sat up in bed and took out a transparent round bead from his spatial ring.White energy surged within the bead.This was given to him by Master Tianming.The Celestial Realm makes everything clear, something the mortal world must learn.This bead is of the same nature as the one used to assess the severity of Shuangxue's illness.When the white energy within the bead was fully replenished, it signified that Li An had gained the approval of heaven and earth.Previously, the white energy within the bead was only slightly over 20%.Today, it suddenly surged to over 30%.What happened?Upon checking the Star Observatory, he discovered that all the front-page headlines in the human world were about Li An."Guardian of the Human Realm, Hero Against the Tide of War."Most of the headlines were like this, detailing Li An's pre-battle preparations."He was the first to discover the enemy's impending all-out attack. He's the most powerful genius in the human realm, a born strategist, yet he's distrusted because of his youth. But he didn't give up!""For seven days and seven nights, Li An didn't close his eyes once, tirelessly traveling through the myriad realms, borrowing massive amounts of elixirs from the demon realm, purchasing an astonishing number of weapons from the Allied Forces, borrowing almost all the geniuses from the Temple of Cultivation, and even seeking reinforcements from other Great Walls!""The great victory of the Third Great Wall was due to his efforts behind the scenes. Without his seven days and seven nights of tireless dedication, the 60 war zones would have become a living hell under the onslaught of the demon realm's 200,000-strong army.""And he's not even 22 yet, not even old enough to graduate from university!""We have every reason to believe he is the only candidate for the next Human King!"Such reports flooded human forums.Overnight, the name Li An once again became the focus of discussion.And not just in the human realm.The same applies to the Demon Realm, the Asura Realm, and the Alliance Realm.The world saw true hope in him.The Heavenly Army had truly been repelled!Following the Alliance Realm, the mortal realm had achieved another great victory!Few knew the truth: the Heng Clan hadn't really fought; they were merely going through the motions for a certain mission.They only knew that we had won!And as long as Li An was there, we would continue to win!This information also jolted Li An awake.He stood up and paced around his office, pondering something.Yes.He didn't need to rush!The Heng Clan's attitude showed that the Heavenly Realm had never taken them seriously from the beginning!Furthermore, the thirteen royal clans of the Heavenly Realm were enemies!That meant that the next target—a kingdom in the mortal realm—would likely also be a perfunctory effort!Was such a victory meaningful?Absolutely! Under the sunlight, Li An took out the Qi Luck Pearl belonging to the Underworld Emperor, filled with a massive amount of Qi Luck!The formulas for achieving physical sainthood at the second, third, and fourth stages were all available, but it seemed some materials were still missing.Currently, Li An's physical strength needed to reach 550 to fully master the Heavenly Power.His initial strength had already reached over 490; what about after reaching the perfect fourth stage?Li An understood something.Why were the conditions for gathering the Heavenly Dao Fruit so stringent?Because this was the threshold!If someone without a Dao Soul could reach an invincible state,what kind of state would that person reach after possessing the Heavenly Dao Soul, arguably the strongest Dao Soul?Only such an existence was qualified to wield the power of the Heavenly Dao.This was Li An's line of thought.He clenched his fist tightly, the fire within him igniting once more.Ultimately, what truly saddened and numbed him wasn't anything particularly complex.It was simply difficult to face!Li An looked back at the borderlands behind him! Tens of millions died last night!He hasn't dared to think about it, much less step onto those ruins.What does tens of millions mean?Yesterday he killed over a thousand demon soldiers; the blood had already reached his feet.Tens of millions—it must have been a true mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.All of this was caused by his incompetence.Others might not see it that way, but he couldn't.Just as the Ghost Lord said, exceeding expectations and possessing the greatest pride were the reasons for his immense power, the reasons for his path to the Heavenly Dao!Li An's eyes hardened, and he silently vowed to himself."In the next battle, I will reduce the casualty rate to 0.1%!"He clenched his fists and immediately plunged into cultivation.His first task was to inquire with Liu Dahu about the resources needed for the third and fourth stages of Physical Sainthood.His second task was to immediately begin seclusion, aiming for the second stage of Physical Sainthood, also known as Minor Sainthood!
