Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

In fact, even among the older generation, it’s hard to find anyone who can match him, at least the Hall Master of the Array Hall now probably falls short of him.

It took about a day for Li An to silently cross the Dao Sect’s array, traversing the Cangxuan Ridge, and finally arriving at the southern part of the Taiqing Realm!

The Cangxuan Ridge was left behind, and the southern air rushed in. At first glance, the world was shrouded in a gray haze, as if the eerie atmosphere was omnipresent.

This area is indeed no longer suitable for any normal living beings to survive!

Everywhere, eerie winds blow across the wilderness, eroding all living things, and the former human cities and such have been turned into massive graves of bones.

Li An circulated Demonic Qi, enveloping himself, walking between heaven and earth.

He once doubted if there were any normal living beings left in this world.

Occasionally he would see some Spirit Beasts, but they were all mutated. Normal cultivators and plants could not be seen.

Distortion and madness seemed to be the only theme here.

"A Spirit Medicine once transformed into an Immortal Elixir, but now it’s rotten..."

He landed on a mountain peak and discovered a Spirit Medicine, lost in thought.

Because the Southern Sea was too close, without any barriers, even if there were Immortal Elixirs or geniuses blown by the Immortal Dao Qi mixed in the eerie atmosphere, they couldn’t survive long. When the Immortal Dao Qi dissipated, leaving only the eerie atmosphere, those transformed Immortal Elixirs and geniuses would quickly rot or mutate.

"Southern Sea’s Immortal wind contains eerie Qi and Immortal Qi, but the Immortal Qi would eventually dissipate, leaving only the eerie... Is this why immortals ultimately die?"

He recalled the teachings of his master, the Purple Fairy.

When the final great upheaval truly arrives, the entire New Continent and the Spirit Realm will become a world no different from this...

That indeed makes one... despair.

Even having become an immortal once, what does it matter? Like the Spirit Medicine before him that was once favored by Immortal Dao Qi, becoming an Immortal Elixir, now it too has withered and rotted!

Li An moved on quickly.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, while passing by a village, Li An heard the voice of a living person.

He quietly descended, seeing that almost all the villagers inside had died from the eerie erosion, except a thin boy who was dragging those bodies to the other side of the village.

He had already dug many pits on the other side.

The boy looked about seventeen or eighteen, with a dark complexion. Although he still appeared normal, Li An’s Divine Thought swept over him and discovered changes in his bloodline and bones.

"Blood Demon Physique."

His heart stirred.

Blood Demon Physique is one of the famous physiques of the Demon Sect, able to continuously enhance itself through devouring others’ bloodlines, with very domineering Demon Blood.

The entire village’s population had died, but the boy was lucky, awakening this bloodline under the catalyzation of the eerie.

"Father, mother, sister, Aunt Zhang..."

The boy, with great effort, managed to carry the villagers to the pits. Even though he had awakened the Blood Demon Physique, he was still just a mortal, so was very tired. He sat on the ground, looking at the many corpses, his eyes filled with sadness.

"Father, mother, sister, I wish to die too, but I can’t... I really can’t die."

The boy lamented painfully, his hands having many wounds, even his neck had one, evidently he had attempted suicide before.

In such a world where everyone has died and only oneself lives eerily, for an ordinary person... it’s truly worse than death.

But his body already contained eerie Qi, and with the Blood Demon Physique, attempting suicide was indeed difficult.

He cried before the various corpses.

But soon, his weeping turned into a bizarre howl, like a beast, his face showing agonizing ferocity, his canine teeth showing signs of reverting ancestrally.

He was yearning for blood!

This is a symptom inevitably associated with Blood Demon Physique.

"Ah... I want, I really want..."

His gaze unconsciously fell on his father and mother’s corpses.

The strongest desire of Blood Demon Physique is for blood closely related to one’s origin!

"No... I can’t, I mustn’t!"

The boy’s body trembled, he whimpered, struggling to get up, running to the other side of the village, where there was a muddy pond. He jumped in, burying himself in the mud.

"No... can’t eat father, mother, sister... no..."

He was crying in pain.

And just at this moment, a hand suddenly emerged from the mud, lifting him up!

The boy landed on the ground, seeing the unfamiliar man before him. He could no longer suppress his thirst for blood, rushing forward to grab Li An’s wrist, biting down fiercely.

But his teeth met Li An’s skin as if it were steel, to no avail, only shaking his mouth full of blood.

"You can stop now."

Li An calmly said.

As soon as the words fell, the boy, like a madman suddenly injected with a tranquilizer, felt the waves of devouring madness receding, staring blankly at the person before him.

"Immortal... Immortal save me!"

The boy suddenly knelt before Li An, saying: "Immortal, I beg of you, please save me, save my father, mother, sister..."

Li An helped him up, saying: "I am not an Immortal. I cannot save your father, mother, and sister."

"But, I can save you."
