Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

"You can’t kill her even if you go!"

Li An directly concluded.

Over the many years that have passed, Li An has met many extraordinary people in the Dao Sect, but none of them have given him such an oppressive feeling as Shangguan Shengxian.

It’s not just the oppression from her cultivation level.

Facing Shangguan Shengxian, Li An often felt tense and tight.

Her mind, strategy, ruthlessness, decisiveness... are the most terrifying he has ever seen.

In some ways, Shangguan Shengxian and the Daoist Sect Leader, Taiqingzi, are of the same type in Li An’s view, but Shangguan Shengxian is more frightening because she has no shackles; she is accustomed to scheming and plotting.

Although Taiqingzi is also courageous, obviously due to the influence of the Dao Sect, even when he schemes against Li An, he still thinks about compensating him for it...

If it were Shangguan Shengxian, she would sacrifice the entire Dao Sect without any guilt.

A person like her, having returned to the Spirit Realm for hundreds of years, still hasn’t been exterminated. This shows that her wings must be fully developed, and whether she has acquired the inheritance of the Demon Emperor is also uncertain.

Trying to exterminate her is extremely difficult!

"Alright, then I’ll wait for you as your master."

"Once you’ve grown stronger, I’ll take you to trouble her."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao smiled faintly and said, "I’m leaving."

As she was leaving, she suddenly asked, "Do you have any more De Fu Pills? I’m going to go into seclusion for many, many years this time..."

Li An said, "No!"

However, he took out a storage bag and tossed it to Shangguan Xiaoxiao.

Shangguan Xiaoxiao glanced at it and saw that it contained many De Fu Pills, with all sorts of flavors and mostly of the fifth grade, with very few sixth-grade pills.

"I guess you have some sense."

She suddenly laughed, realizing that these should have been refined by Li An over the years...

"Li Gou, don’t be so slow in your cultivation."

She whispered a sentence and then departed.

Watching her back, Li An hesitated for a moment before saying, "Don’t rush in your cultivation."

"Don’t worry, I’ll wait for you as your master."

She left.

Li An sighed, as he obviously couldn’t directly tell Shangguan Xiaoxiao about becoming immortal...

However, currently Shangguan Xiaoxiao is still far from becoming immortal, so there’s no rush.

When she enters the Tribulation Crossing Stage, then he can find a way to remind her.

Moreover, he had just sensed that the Demon Seed within Shangguan Xiaoxiao is still there...

And it has become very, very strong!

Clearly, she must have been cultivating the Demon Skill all these years.

What exactly is going on with her on the Celestial Dao Peak, and what relationship does the Demon Sect’s Ye Mo have with her, Li An doesn’t know, nor is he interested in knowing.

Let her be. As long as she doesn’t become immortal during the first two great transformations, it doesn’t matter.

...

"Senior Brother, have you gained anything?"

Leaving the inner chamber, Han Lin asked curiously.

Li An said, "Quite a fruitful gain. Han Junior Sister, come, let me share it with you..."

He was not stingy and immediately shared some insights and understandings he got from Shangguan Xiaoxiao with Han Lin—not everything, of course, as Han Lin’s current cultivation wasn’t enough for her to comprehend it.

Over the years, Han Lin has also been a great help to him.

Han Lin listened attentively to his words, stood up and bowed, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother!"

"Senior Brother’s profound study in array formations should soon allow you to comprehend the Tier Seven arrays. By then, the Array Hall’s books will hold no value for you..."

For some reason, she sighed lightly, and suddenly took out a bamboo scroll, handing it to Li An, "Senior Brother, this is the Yin Yang Array Scripture, hand-copied by Han Lin. You didn’t finish reading it last time, so I give it to you."

Li An merely sighed lightly, "Thank you, Junior Sister."

"However, I’ve already memorized the content of the Yin Yang Array Scripture."

He stood up and said, "Junior Sister, in the field of array formations, you and I will always be close friends. If you have questions, you can come to me anytime."

Having said that, he left.

Han Lin watched Li An’s departing figure, feeling somewhat despondent.

"Lin’Er, I’ve long told you, his Dao Heart is very firm, unattainable..."

The Hall Master of the Array Hall appeared beside her and sighed lightly.

After a long while, Han Lin then smiled slightly and said, "It’s alright, then I won’t pursue it. I’ll leave it to fate."

She picked it up and then gently put it down again.

...

Returning to Evergreen Peak.

Li An began to go into seclusion.

Digesting the guidance Shangguan Xiaoxiao gave him.
