This great transformation of the world lasted nearly three hundred years.

The strange storm blowing from the Southern Sea, mixed with an aura of the Immortal Dao, broke through the defenses of all major forces on the New Continent with unparalleled power, ultimately reaching the entire Spirit Realm.

Daozhou, Brahma Continent, Sun and Moon Continent, Five Elements Continent, Celestial Continent... The vast and boundless Spirit Realm was almost entirely affected.

But the most tragic was still the New Continent!

Here became the frontline battlefield, with almost all major forces setting up their defenses here — it was also the fate of the New Continent, as the major forces of the Spirit Realm allowed the Emperor Origin Realm and others to merge with the Spirit Realm to protect the existing beings of the Spirit Realm.

The most powerful immortals in the world appeared, including several golden Arhats from the Brahma Sect, Corpse Dissolving Immortals from the Dao Sect, a Taiyin Immortal Soul from the Sun and Moon Sect, the Five Elements Ancestral Beast from the Five Elements Continent...

Not to mention the Supreme Elders, elite disciples, and others from various forces.

All participated in the defense against this terrifying calamity.

During this calamity, truly bizarre spirits emerged from the strange storm, ravaging the world, causing countless beings to perish, and experts from various major forces also fell, with many people dying...

Two Supremes from the Dao Sect perished, and it is said that one Corpse Dissolving Immortal rushed to the depths of the Southern Sea and never returned.

The foremost monk of the Brahma Sect, also the abbot of Lingshan Temple, Master Le’an, was killed by a strange ghost.

Four saintesses from the Sun and Moon Sect fell in succession!

Mainly, those "strange ghosts" born from the Anomalous Qi were too terrifying. A Dao-level strange ghost dared to battle a Mahayana Stage powerhouse, and a Mahayana Stage could even contend with the Tribulation Crossing Stage. If encountering a strange ghost of the Tribulation Crossing Stage, an immortal-level being was needed to suppress it!

Strange ghosts were impervious to all methods and extremely difficult to kill!

...

But amid the tragedy, some individuals achieved ultimate sublimation.

Two Harmonization Dao prodigies of the Brahma Sect realized the legendary "enlightenment" during a great battle; it is said they almost stepped into the legendary Immortal Dao. Although they didn’t succeed directly, they reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

This attracted the world’s attention, and the "enlightenment" mentioned by the Brahma Sect was surprisingly terrifying.

A Saint Child of the Sun and Moon Sect awakened the legendary Sun and Moon Sacred Body. On that day, the sky was filled with shocking phenomena, with the sun and moon shining together, even attracting the strange ghosts, and the Taiyin Immortal Soul, an immortal-level presence of the Sun and Moon Sect, protected that Saint Child for half a year until his transformation was complete!

A Divine Embryo of the Five Elements Sect awakened, and it is said that it was originally a stillborn, but after being nourished by a massive amount of Immortal Dao Material, it miraculously revived, emitting brilliance of millions of feet and directly possessing Divinity Transformation Stage cultivation at birth, with an immeasurable future.

...

As the situation changed, the world gradually survived the most difficult moments, and the strange storm over the Southern Sea gradually subsided.

And this storm that lasted three hundred years left a vast amount of Immortal Dao Material on the land of the Spirit Realm!

Gradually, the main theme of defense changed, and as hope for victory emerged, how to divide this enormous pie and benefits became the theme of the Spirit Realm.

Taiqing Realm’s Cangxuan Ridge, Primordial Dao Realm’s Jixia Valley, and even the former Xiling of the Emperor Origin Realm... These places accumulated so much Immortal Dao Material during the great transformation of the world that they have entirely become immortal abodes, with Spirit Flowers and Immortal Elixirs everywhere, becoming the focus of intense competition among various major forces.

The various realms of the New Continent, which were initially far from the overall level of the Spirit Realm, directly became the hottest Holy Land due to these two hundred years of great changes. Major forces like the Dao Sect and the Brahma Sect took over and established inheritance sites here no less than the Main Sect.

At the same time, the sea surface over the Southern Sea, which has gradually calmed, became a sought-after exploration ground for the world, floating with many mysterious, heaven-defying opportunities...

...

"Three hundred years."

On the coast of the Taiqing Realm in the New Continent, Xiang Yuntian stood on a protruding reef, leaning on a long sword, staring in the direction of the Southern Sea, sighing long, "Still can’t find his body."

His aura had already risen to an extremely terrifying level, now in the early stage of the Tribulation Crossing Stage!

"Master, you’ve done your best. Uncle Li An has been dead for over a hundred years, and you’ve never given up looking for him. You don’t need to blame yourself too much..."

Behind him, An Li spoke softly. Now An Li was no longer the young man of old, but a composed and seasoned Refining Void cultivator, soon to break through to Harmonization Dao! 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

During these two hundred years, they constantly fought bloody battles as master and disciple, tempering themselves, and the Immortal Dao Materials they obtained were vast, so their growth was extremely rapid.

And Li An...

In the seventh year of the great transformation, the soul lamp he left in the Dao Sect went out directly.

"Throughout the Spirit Realm and New Continent, everywhere has been searched. If alive, I should see the person; if dead, the body. I think he should be floating on the Southern Sea?"

Xiang Yuntian muttered, "I’ll go take a look over the Southern Sea."

"Master, but Master Gu hasn’t awakened yet."

An Li reminded.

Gu Canye, on the seventieth year, was attacked by two strange ghosts while saving Xiang Yuntian, suffering severe injuries, and has been comatose ever since.

"Never mind, never mind, old turtle, when Old Gu wakes up, I’ll go find your body with him. Anyway, you’re already dead... just float a bit longer."

Xiang Yuntian sighed, abandoning his immediate plans to go to the Southern Sea.

Only then did An Li breathe a sigh of relief. In reality, after three hundred years, how difficult would it be to find someone dead for three hundred years in this vast world? Even many of the Dao Sect’s Supreme Elders were dead without a body!

"By the way, any news of Shangguan Xiaoxiao..." Xiang Yuntian continued to inquire.

An Li shook his head, "Still wanted. She appeared once a hundred and fifty years ago in the former Great Li and Celestial Killer Mountain ranges, and once in the Evil Spirit Lake of the Primordial Spirit Realm forty years ago, but there’s been no news of her since."
