Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

Celestial Demons are the highest existence within the Demon Sect. It is said that only the Demon Emperor has ever reached this level.

The essence of the Celestial Demon, it must be the essence left behind by the Demon Emperor!

Lin Fangping absolutely cannot obtain such a thing, unless... is it Jun Yelin?

This is very likely!

Jun Yelin was originally a pawn arranged by the Daoist Sect Leader. In the past, when the Dao Sect destroyed the Demon Sect, many of the Demon Sect’s treasures also fell into the hands of the Dao Sect. Now giving them to Jun Yelin is perfectly logical.

Li An’s heart was suddenly moved; he never expected that the pawn Lin Fangping would bring him such a clue!

But he still needed further verification; he waited a few days until Lin Fangping left the place of seclusion, then he quietly sneaked in, causing one of the female spirit mediums to fall asleep, and obtained the spirit medicine she consumed.

The spirit medicine was meticulously crafted with a pill robe on the outside that entirely sealed the medicinal qi. Li An gently peeled it open and sniffed, and a faint familiar scent instantly came to him.

"It is my Demon Seed."

Li An’s heart became slightly cold; it was definitely Jun Yelin!

The spirit medium was made for Jun Yelin, so this secret medicine contained his Demon Seed aura as a guide.

"Absorbing the essence of the Celestial Demon requires the spirit medium to be extremely demanding. The ones trained by Lin Fangping still need many years to meet the requirements..."

Li An fed this pill back into the woman’s mouth, letting her absorb it so it wouldn’t be discovered, then turned and left.

Regarding Jun Yelin, Li An only paid attention for now. As for whether or not to take action to obstruct or disrupt, he was still uncertain.

Because he knew nothing about Jun Yelin’s current situation.

Had this person connected with Shangguan Shengxian and others? Was the esteemed Night Mo still by his side? What level had his own cultivation reached...

These were all matters Li An needed to consider.

He couldn’t disregard everything just because of a desire for revenge.

That was not revenge, it was offering oneself to be killed.

After leaving, Li An passed through the Primordial Spirit Realm and also made a trip to Evil Spirit Lake.

To his surprise, Evil Spirit Lake was quite well-developed now, already a Nascent Soul-level power, with Li Shuangshuang becoming the family’s ancestor, a Nascent Soul powerhouse.

Back then, after Li An disappeared in the battle at the Supreme Profound Mountain Range disguised as Gu Dao, Li Shuangshuang was captured by Li Chengwang.

Before entering the Dao Sect, Li An had instructed Zeng Xueyao to help Li Shuangshuang.

Unexpectedly it had grown so prosperous today.

Li An inquired and learned that Zeng Xueyao hadn’t done much interference back then, just rescued Li Shuangshuang, but the Li Clan soon faced great disaster—

After returning from the Immortal Fall Secret Realm, Li An’s identity was exposed, and many knew he was the Li family’s ancestor, attracting many mysterious forces to the Li Clan, pressing them for immortal techniques and such.

The Li Clan collapsed directly!

Li Shuangshuang went into hiding, and instead survived.

Li An couldn’t help but feel wistful; he had originally thought to settle old accounts on this trip back.

Unexpectedly, there was no need for him to take action...

He did not disturb Li Shuangshuang and others, left Evil Spirit Lake, and then quickly arrived at a secluded area. Scanning with his Divine Thought, he immediately discovered a cave, and within it, the Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow and puppet Gao Tai were still there!

Li An was overjoyed and immediately called out. The Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow burst into a green light, flew out of the cave, excitedly screeching, and circling around Li An, affectionately rubbing its head against him.

Man and bird, had been separated for a hundred years!

When entering the Dao Sect, Li An had thought about taking the Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow along, but firstly, taking it might attract unwanted attention; after all, a regular Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow was just a Rank Four spirit bird, but his bird had broken through the limits.

Secondly, at that time, he was also concerned that if he took it to the Dao Sect, danger was unpredictable, so leaving the Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow to guard Gao Tai would also leave a chance for survival.

"You’ve worked hard!"

Li An took out many spirit medicines, handing them to the Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow, which immediately devoured them ravenously.

These spirit medicines were all cultivated by Li An on Evergreen Peak, at least of Fifth Grade, and after a few bites, the Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow was already bursting with Spiritual Qi.

It had hardly left in these years and the spirit vein here was not of sufficient grade to support it, causing its cultivation not to advance, but rather show signs of decline.

Li An retrieved a Primordial Spirit that had been placed on puppet Gao Tai, then left with the Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow.

...

A month later.

Li An, in the Vast Origin Realm of the New Continent.

He had researched for a long time; the Vast Origin Realm was one of the least noticeable realms of the New Continent, due to geographical reasons, having never been touched by the Southern Sea immortal breeze, resulting in no significant immortals or demons being born.

Powers and talents from this realm massively flowed out.

Such a place attracted little interest from major powers; even the Demon Sect and Evil Sect were reluctant to come.

Inhospitable and desolate.

But for Li An, it was the perfect place to break through.

He wandered in the Vast Origin Realm for half a year, researching and searching, eventually determining his place for a breakthrough—

The Xingluo Mountains in the Southern Domain of the Vast Origin Realm, this mountain range is vast, spanning a million miles. Deep within, few people venture, but most importantly, he found a Tier Six Spirit Vein here!

Nurtured over hundreds of years, the New Continent’s development has brought about spirit veins of this grade.

However, this spirit vein is hidden deep in the Xingluo Mountains, occupied by two Divinity Transformation stage divine apes.

After some investigation, this day, Li An released the Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow.

The Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow flew over the territory of the two giant apes, and instantly, one of the purple giant apes roared and charged out with great speed, catching up in the blink of an eye, reaching out to tear the Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow apart.

But at this moment, Li An, hidden above the wings of the Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow, suddenly waved his hand, and several Tier Six talismans fell with a roar. Simultaneously, a Tier Six flying sword, a sun-piercing spear, and a black giant crossbow on Li An exploded.

The giant ape was unprepared for an ambush, unable to dodge, and was directly pierced by Li An!

"Roar!"

The second Rank Five spirit beast in the territory roared and rushed at Li An. This time, knowing the combat power of the divine apes, Li An didn’t use any magic treasures, talismans, etc., and directly stepped down!

He didn’t even employ any spells, just pure Spiritual Power suppression.

Boom!

With a loud noise, the divine ape soaring into the sky was directly stomped through the head by Li An, its body exploded, turning into a blood mist!

The Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow cried joyously and hurriedly flew over, instantly pleased with the rare blood!

Li An had already landed atop a green mountain, his figure graceful, feeling the aura of the Tier Six Spirit Vein around him, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Having cultivated in the Dao Sect for hundreds of years, he could now easily obliterate Divinity Transformation stage fierce beasts!

His current cultivation would definitely be considered invincible at the same level!

In fact, even without the ambush, he could directly kill the two divine apes, but he habitually exercised caution, hence letting the Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow lure the enemy, taking one out first.

He then hollowed out the interior of this green mountain, to build an adequate cave mansion, and separately placed Tier Six formations twenty thousand miles, ten thousand miles, five thousand miles, and three thousand miles away as protection!

At the site of the cave mansion, three Tier Six formations were set up!

It could be said that his cave mansion was built as impregnable as an iron barrel, even if a Refining Void expert came, storming it would be extremely difficult.

Of course, this was just a precaution; Li An had carefully thought it through. Because this realm lacked resources and had not been swept by the Southern Sea’s immortal breeze, domestic masters and talents had long since flowed out.

Let alone Great Power Refining Void, even at the Divinity Transformation stage, only a few fierce beasts remained, and stronger Nascent Souls all sought the outside world.

In other words, likely no one in this realm was his match.

Moreover, if truly unexpected, and Refining Void or Great Power attacks were to arrive, as a last resort, Li An could also summon Dao Sect experts in the New Continent for help; after all, he enjoyed a Great Dao genius level of treatment, and once he issued a command, the thousand troops and horses of the Dao Sect in the New Continent would come running.

Absolutely unfazed!

With everything arranged, he immediately began seclusion.

To prepare for the final push for Refining Void—

...

Goodnight.
