Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

After getting a rough understanding, Li An immediately requested a detailed map of the New Continent, then left.

...

He’s not in a hurry to break through but decided to find a place first!

He first ruled out the Emperor Origin Realm, Primordial Spirit Realm, and such places, as they are controlled by Dao Sect and Five Elements Sect. A big breakthrough would still be noticed and attract attention.

Based on the map, he had several intended locations in mind for exploration one by one.

"It’s time to check on my chess piece..."

Returning to an old ground, Li An felt quite good, first heading to Xiling Origin Continent in the Emperor Origin Realm.

Xiling Origin Continent’s scenery remained the same, but many Nascent Soul-level forces have risen. Many of these forces were supported by the Dao Sect, and talents born in the sect would be recruited by Dao Sect.

The ancestral lands of the Great Li Empire remain, but that nation has long crumbled into dust. It has now been replaced by a Nascent Soul power called the Taiyuan Sect, which controls the entire boundary of Great Li and even most of the former Yan Country.

The Taiyuan Sect is one of the subsidiary forces of the Dao Sect, and such development is normal.

Returning to an old place, in the Cloud Illusion Mountain Range, many powerful new Spirit Beasts have emerged. Li An stepped in and found the cave where he and Gu Hong once hunted a Primordial Soul Beast.

New Primordial Soul Beasts now inhabited the cave, and these were at the Nascent Soul level. When Li An arrived, these Primordial Soul Beasts shivered in fear, not daring to move.

But Li An only stood there for a long time.

Then he left.

In the northern part of Great Li, Celestial Yang City and White Tiger City... these were also gone, replaced by new cities with new names.

However, Moon Tempering Valley retained its name.

Back then, Gu Hong and her master Gusongxi lived in seclusion here, and Li An also cultivated here for a period.

Now this Spirit Vein had grown into a Rank Three Spirit Vein, close to a Rank Four Spirit Vein. Several True Core cultivators were cultivating in the valley, and Li An entered effortlessly. These True Core cultivators sensed his presence, rushed out, but upon seeing Li An, they were shocked and hurriedly greeted him.

"Senior has graced us with your presence, what instructions do you have for us?"

"Is there anything we can do to assist you, Senior?"

They all understood that the young man before them was an unbelievably powerful figure who needed to be treated with respect.

"No need, I am just revisiting this place," Li An said, waving his hand, and the group of True Core cultivators wisely withdrew.

Fortunately, the garden of roses planted years ago in Moon Tempering Valley was still there, blooming vividly, with petals scattered all over.

Back then, in front of these roses, Gu Hong wanted Li An to stay with her, but Li An refused.

At that time, Li An said he only wished for the Immortal Dao to last forever.

Now, the path of immortality had reached the stage of Divinity Transformation.

Seeing the things and remembering the people, those from the past were ultimately gone.

"You may leave now; this place is from my past," Li An called the True Core cultivators and gave them some Top Grade Spirit Stones. These cultivators were surprised, then left with profuse gratitude, not daring to say anything more.

After they left, Li An set up a Rank Four Array here.

The Rank Four Array consumed fewer Spirit Stones and contained his will. If anyone dared approach, they would know it was the place of a Divinity Transformation Great Cultivator from the Dao Sect.

Now the entire Emperor Origin Realm is under the control of the Dao Sect, and no one dares to invade recklessly.

After accomplishing all this, Li An quickly arrived at the former site of the Profound Yang Sect.

The "Seven Yin Sect" that Lin Fangping initially founded with him was still there but kept a low profile. Li An quietly infiltrated and found it was essentially the same as before...

"Hmm?"

But soon, Li An discovered a problem. The core elders of the Seven Yin Sect...

had all turned into Demon Cultivators!

This made Li An quite delighted that Lin Fangping’s hidden move had finally infiltrated the Demon Sect?

Without much effort, he found Lin Fangping’s cultivation place. Lin Fangping was now a Nascent Soul cultivator and had a Demon Seed inside him.

"No, within Lin Fangping, there is not only a Demon Seed but also a legitimate Dao Sect aura..."

Li An immediately noticed the anomaly!

This Dao Sect aura was not something someone like Lin Fangping, a branch disciple, could easily nurture!

"Could it be Jun Yelin?"

Li An had a speculation in his heart.

This was almost the only possibility.

Jun Yelin had both the true inheritance of the Dao Sect and understood Demon Skill. Only by joining him could Lin Fangping have such opportunities.

"Reporting to the Sect Leader, the witch you requested has been delivered..."

Outside Lin Fangping’s place of secluded cultivation, an elder brought a young girl and said, "This girl’s physique is quite good!"

Lin Fangping came out, glanced at her, then nodded and said, "Good, this girl’s aptitude is not bad... Go claim your reward!"

The elder left joyously, while Lin Fangping took the girl into his cultivation place. The girl wore a look of fear, but Lin Fangping smiled warmly and said:

"Don’t be afraid; I won’t kill you, nor will I harm you. On the contrary, I will give you a great opportunity!"

"I will teach you a Cultivation Technique; practice it well, and once you’ve mastered it, a great future awaits! Here’s a magic potion; take it first..."

The girl dared not resist and followed Lin Fangping’s instructions, after which Lin Fangping placed her in a quiet chamber within his place of secluded cultivation.

Li An had already detected that in his place of secluded cultivation, there were a dozen quiet chambers, each holding similar witches!

"Refining Spirit Mediums?!"

Li An was slightly moved. The Cultivation Technique given to these girls and the magic potion they were made to take reminded Li An of the "Spirit Medium" in the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill.

The so-called Spirit Mediums use living humans as media, helping Demon Skill practitioners to absorb and refine the Celestial Demon essence!
