Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation-Chapter 244 - 110: Clarity of Thought

The four words "nurturing blood slaves" echoed in his ears, and the Liu Family Ancestor's eyes suddenly widened.

"Are you... a remnant of the Desolate Land? No, that's not right, it's been a century, your bone age... you must be a descendant of the remnant?"

He stared intently at Li Ji'an, recalling the biggest upheaval in recent years.

He remembered clearly that it was ninety-seven years ago. He thought the entire clan had been subdued by his great power, but unexpectedly Liu Jingchun led people in rebellion.

Moreover, he had suspicions about the Celestial Master at that time and did not heed his ominous words.

As a result, after harvesting blood slaves for a century without incident, an accident occurred that time.

After dealing with the internal rebellion, he sent the younger generation in the Qi Cultivation stage to investigate and confirmed that at least five people had escaped the Sandstorm Forbidden Land and entered the Cultivation Realm of Cangyun State.

These five people were particularly crucial, and if the matter of the blood slaves from the Desolate Land was exposed, it might cause a devastating blow to his plan for eternal life.

Therefore, he tried to win over and please the Upper Sect on one hand, and on the other, he searched for the remnants with all his might, even dispatching clan members to patrol all mortal gathering places in the south.

It was during that time that his trust in the Celestial Master increased.

Later, because the Celestial Master foretold great misfortune if he continued searching for the remnants, he abandoned the chase.

For the following century, all was well, and he thought those remnants had long perished on the road from the Desolate Land to Cangyun State.

"My father asked me to greet the Immortal Master on his behalf," Li Ji'an affirmed his suspicion.

"How is that possible?" The shock in the Liu Family Ancestor was greater than his fear.

A blood slave from the Desolate Land, in this foreign land, without relatives or support, and having their Spirit Roots delayed for too long, could not possibly achieve much.

Even if they married and had children, how could they provide their offspring with a good Spirit Vein environment?

How could the second generation cultivate a Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivator? 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Li Ji'an smiled faintly.

Without the aid of Rejuvenation, it was indeed almost impossible.

"Truly, retribution is inevitable, and what goes around comes around."

"But... how did you also cultivate the 'Earth Spirit Scripture'?"

This time, Li Ji'an did not answer him: "You ask too many questions; destroy your Dantian yourself, and I will spare you a breath to confess in the Immortal Dynasty."

"Hmph! A remnant dare to defy me? Die!" Though only a remnant body and the Golden Body shattered, he was still a Fake Pill True Man. With his doubts resolved, he held no more illusions.

"Boom!" With a grim, old face, twisting his body, all his bones except his skull instantly shot towards Li Ji'an outside the Array.

Upon slight contact with the Array, the bones all exploded.

In an instant, a crack in the Array that was twice as large as before was formed.

"You scoundrel, die!" Following that, his Fake Pill magical power burst forth, and with a limp, remnant body, he charged out of the Array.

Li Ji'an's lips curled into a smile, he had overestimated his opponent.

He thought the opponent had other trump cards, but did not expect he was only left with the option of self-destructing his Pill.

For any Core Formation cultivator, when liquid magical power condenses into a solid Pill, its inner energy is compressed to the extreme, even a Fake Pill can self-destruct.

However, the power depends on the state of the magical power.

If at full strength, a self-detonation's power is comparable to a full attack.

"Whoosh~" In Li Ji'an's hand, the hidden glazed lamp burst forth instantly, with flames enveloping the opponent, with a power equivalent to thirty percent of a True Pill cultivator's full attack.

"Prototype Magical Treasure!" The remnant body exclaimed in despair.

Qin Henian's damaged Seventh Grade Magical Treasure, after years of nurturing, was ultimately a failed effort, and its full strike was not even comparable to an intact prototype Magical Treasure.

He originally intended to quickly slay Qin Henian, but was delayed by his Magical Treasure. At this moment, he was already at his limit, his strength less than thirty percent at peak, yet he encountered a full-prototype Magical Treasure again.

If he self-destructed now, he wouldn't even be able to break through this Fire Shield, let alone harm the opponent.

"Swish!" As he hesitated, amidst the burning flames, several withered vines suddenly appeared.

"Ah!" They quickly entangled him, wildly absorbing his essence blood, with one piercing into his Dantian, smashing the loose and impurity-filled Pill.

In the blink of an eye, the remnant body lost all its essence blood, and magical power dissipated, the head and the skin of the torso fell to the ground, barely alive.

The flames dispersed, and the vines retracted. Li Ji'an stepped forward step by step.

Finally, he stepped on the head, looking down coldly.

The aged head stared at Li Ji'an who was looking down at him, almost spitting blood.

"I, the old man as a god..."

"Boom!" Without giving him a chance to speak further, Li Ji'an crushed his head underfoot, like squashing a bug.

"Whoosh~" Li Ji'an exhaled a long breath, looking back at the Immortal Dynasty, a wave of pent-up emotion suddenly cleared, turning to clarity and serenity.

Having asked him to destroy his Dantian and bring him back to the Immortal Dynasty for confession was just a ploy.

A Demon Cultivator about to stir the Celestial Cyan Domain's cultivation world, how could he allow himself to get too involved?

As for returning to the Immortal Dynasty, based on the previous sensing and speculation, it's likely hopeless in this lifetime, and can only be attempted during the Qi Cultivation Stage in the next life.

Quickly retrieving the storage pouch from the body, letting Little Fire Spirit go through it to ensure there were no hidden means, and then having the Little Fire Spirit cleanse the area of the previous magical combat with Soul-Burning Spirit Fire, leaving no traces.

A moment later, Li Ji'an took Xiaoqiao and fled westward, planning to detour through the Qin Family area and return to the Spirit Peak of the Biyun Sect.

Not until he escaped three thousand miles did he slow the flying boat down, letting Xiaoqiao control it, while he connected with Gugu through the Spirit Contract in his Sea of Consciousness.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, as he operated his Sea of Consciousness, an inexplicable sense of obscurity emerged within it.

"Gugu!" Li Ji'an's heart instinctively paused, worrying about Gugu's safety.
