Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

Therefore, since I’ve decided to go out, I must prepare thoroughly.

Everything he purchased was Tier Six, corresponding to the Void Refinement Realm. With so many items, even if he encountered an enemy at the Void Refinement level, he could protect himself well!

"The Immortal Coffin can also come in handy..."

The Immortal Coffin left by Master Purple Fairy resided in his dantian, nourished for hundreds of years, and fully integrated with him, becoming his life-bound magical artifact!

But this Immortal Coffin has only two features: its sturdiness and its capacity to hold objects.

What Li An intended to leverage was its capacity to hold objects.

He planned to refine a massive amount of runes and arrays, storing them within the Immortal Coffin. During a great battle, he could swing the coffin to unleash the runes and arrays inside. How fierce would that be?

Immediately, he began another retreat.

The primary purpose of this retreat was to create talismans and arrays.

Over the past century, he has invested heavily in the realms of arrays and talismans, granting him mastery over Tier Six runes and formations. He even learned a lot about Dao Level arrays and runes.

However, with his cultivation level, Tier Six was his limit for creations.

He produced them very quickly.

...

Ten years later.

Li An finally emerged from his cave dwelling, slightly dizzy from the long retreat!

For the past ten years, he scarcely rested, working diligently all the time.

The resources he purchased for talismans and arrays were all refined into what he needed.

Five thousand pieces of Tier Six talisman paper were refined into over two thousand one hundred Tier Six talismans.

A hundred sets of Tier Six Creation Jade were made into forty-three sets of Tier Six arrays.

He placed one thousand five hundred talisman papers and thirty sets of arrays into the Immortal Coffin and combined them. Once activated in battle, Li An believed the power of thirty Tier Six arrays and over a thousand talisman papers could instantly kill a cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm!

In reality, according to what Li An knew, the Dao talents of the Dao Sect could generally fight above their level without relying on external aids.

On the Immortal Ascension Ladder battlefield, he had heard that the Dao talent Yun Qian, before breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm, had once challenged three Void Refinement Realm powerhouses with Divinity Transformation Perfection.

In the end, she won.

Truly terrifying!

Li An admitted he didn’t possess such combat power, so relying on external items was his only means to fight.

By continuously piling resources, the Immortal Coffin would become a major killer weapon of his!

He rested for a few days to adjust his condition to its peak, then this time, emerged from retreat to pay a visit to Peak Master Gui Changshou.

"Disciple greets Peak Master!"

In the grand hall, Li An bowed deeply.

"Years of cultivation, Divinity Transformation Perfection, not bad, not bad, steady work!"

Gui Changshou was still the same as before, with white hair and beard but glowing with a rosy complexion, looking like a celestial being, viewing Li An with great appreciation!

Gui found great pleasure in Li An’s character!

Over the years, with the changes in the Immortal Ascension Ladder and New Continent, great opportunities came one after another, causing even Dao disciples on Evergreen Peak to become restless, like Song Qingsong and Zhao Nangeng, who had long since gone to the New Continent, reaping not small benefits. Only Li An has been diligently cultivating, following his own path.

Even though Li An’s cultivation progress was slow, he didn’t consider it a problem.

"Disciple intends to make a trip to the New Continent,"

Li An spoke.

Gui Changshou said, "That would also work. Breaking through to Void Refinement over there would benefit you."

"Hmm, it’s time for our peak to recruit new disciples. The New Continent has produced many talents; you might as well recruit some newcomers while you’re there."

The Dao Sect only recruits new members once every hundred years, but due to the major changes in the New Continent, recruitment frequency there has been adjusted to once every fifty years.

While Li An diligently cultivated these years, Evergreen Peak had recruited disciples three times, welcoming many new faces.

"Disciple complies!"

Li An said, then immediately withdrew.

Leaving Evergreen Peak, Li An directly used the sect’s teleportation array. Since he enjoyed the status of a Dao disciple, the teleportation array opened solely for him, assuring high confidentiality without worry of being discovered or intercepted.

...

Soon after.

In a Daoist Temple within the Emperor Origin Realm of the New Continent.

Boom!

The teleportation formation flickered, while protective arrays around it instantly lit up to prevent interception of the person landing from the array.

Inside the Daoist Temple, the Lord Zeng Xueyao quickly rose to welcome him.

Using such a formation, it must be a prominent figure from the Dao Sect.

A flash of light gradually dissipated, revealing a young man on the teleportation platform.

Seeing him, Zeng Xueyao couldn’t help but be momentarily startled.

Li An?

It’s actually him...

For a moment, her heart was filled with complex emotions. Back then, she and Zhan Qingxuan traveled to the Emperor Origin Realm to bring Li An, Tan Qingxue, and others to the Dao Sect. Later, Tan Qingxue, Xiang Yuntian, and others shone brilliantly within the Dao Sect...

Now, even Li An held such a prestigious status?

Dao talent...

"Junior Sister welcomes Senior Brother!"

Dazed for a moment, Zeng Xueyao spoke.

Li An nodded and said, "No need to be so polite, Junior Sister. How are things in the New Continent lately?"

Zeng Xueyao, having stationed there for a long time, surely had a lot of information.

Zeng Xueyao immediately reported the situation in the New Continent to Li An.

Since the changes in the Southern Sea began, various major forces from the Spirit Realm, including the Dao Sect and Brahma Sect, had intensified their control over the New Continent, dispatching many elites.

Due to the influence of oceanic immortal energy and mysterious auras, there had been an increase in immortals and corrupted demons.

In these years, the Dao Sect and Brahma Sect, among other major forces, had even sent distinguished figures to explore toward the Southern Sea, seemingly preparing for something.
