Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 188 - 171: Core Formation Success

"The one at Guest Peak has already entered the retreat location of the Divine Bird—"

Upon hearing this, the disheveled girl inexplicably shed tears in front of the bronze mirror.

"Did Jiang Ruoxu ask you to tell me this?"

She suddenly asked.

Ever since the grand wedding, she had suddenly gone mad, refusing to let anyone approach her.

She hadn’t spoken a single normal sentence to anyone.

The old servant seemed slightly reluctant, but still said: "The young master said he would spare Wu Shouqing’s life, but hopes to see you washed and dressed to welcome him when he exits seclusion, or else..."

"Or else both Wu Shouqing and your brother Er Niu might both..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruoli’s beautiful eyes lifted slightly, "Did he say he would spare Wu Shouqing’s life?"

The old servant nodded, "The young master only wants you to give him an heir. After the child is born, you, Wu Shouqing, and Er Niu can go wherever you want, you all can leave the Jiang family—"

Jiang Ruoli pondered for a long, long time.

Then, on this day, after years of madness and confinement here, she suddenly groomed and dressed herself.

...

Guest Peak.

"Honored Guest Elder Sun, are you leaving the Jiang family?"

Chen Lin looked at the resignation letter handed over by Sun Jinxue, his eyes filled with shock and suspicion as he gazed at her.

Staying in the Jiang family is a dream for many Loose Cultivators, after all, it’s nice to take shelter under a big tree!

"Yes."

Sun Jinxue’s expression was indifferent, her demeanor completely different from before. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

In the past, she was always networking with long sleeves, eager to leverage every opportunity, but now there was only a kind of tired calm.

Chen Lin probed, "Is it because something has happened with Wu Shouqing?"

Sun Jinxue’s eyes showed a slight hint of sarcasm, "Yes, he is dead, aren’t you happy?"

Chen Lin was full of doubts and did not believe it, forcing a smile, "Honored Guest Elder Sun, you must be joking."

"Your resignation, I will explain to the Jiang family in a few days, please wait a moment—"

...

Around Spiritual Essence Peak, there were countless Fake Pill experts.

The patriarch, Jiang Rilan, personally presided.

During this period, the only one allowed to enter and exit this place was Tan Qingxue.

She prepared many Spiritual Foods and waited in the secluded area of Spiritual Essence Peak.

In the blink of an eye.

A month passed.

Boom!

The first wave of powerful fluctuation transmitted through the grand formation, immediately followed by a sudden phenomenon manifesting in the sky above the Jiang family’s Spiritual Essence Peak!

Various cloud formations rolled and danced like the evening glow, burning across dozens of miles, as the clouds seemed to turn into a sea of fire, illuminating the surroundings!

The Spirit Vein trembled, and the Spiritual Qi from hundreds of miles of mountains occupied by the Jiang family converged towards them.

"Someone in the Jiang family is attempting Core Formation!?"

"Such a powerful phenomenon... No, no, this is not a regular Core Formation, the heavenly fire clouds are exclusive to the Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow’s Core Formation phenomenon!"

"That Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow of our family is already about to reach Core Formation this soon? Heavenly blessing upon the Jiang family!"

The phenomenon couldn’t be concealed, and instantly all within the Jiang family knew.

This phenomenon continued unabated for a full half-month.

The range gradually expanded, and nearly a hundred miles of sky above the Jiang family exhibited the phenomenon of burning clouds, and this was still the result after the Jiang family laid several layers of formations to cover it!

The gathering auspicious clouds simultaneously and the phenomenon kept evolving rapidly. Amidst the thousands of layers of sea of fire, a flaming ancient tree appeared to be growing upward.

"What is that? Why is there an ancient tree appearing among the fiery clouds?"

"Unknown... the family records never mention such a thing, could the Divine Bird be mutating?"

"That ancient tree seems to be rooted in the sea of fire, I feel as though the entire sea of fire is just a backdrop for the ancient tree?"

Everyone in the Jiang family focused, bustling with discussions, speculating variously.

Even on Spiritual Essence Peak.

Jiang Rilan and others wore grave expressions.

"A bloodline mutation."

Tan Qingxue finally spoke, "The Divine Bird received the help of Spiritual Blood, its bloodline is different from a typical Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow, so it has evolved into this miraculous Flaming Tree."

After she finished, Jiang Rilan still had suspicions, for he was not an easy character to deal with, shrewd in thinking.

The Divine Bird’s Spirit Root was of the Fire Attribute, so how could the appearance of a Wood Element ancient tree occur?

But immediately after, within the phenomenon, a fiery bird manifested, its wings stretching thousands of meters, extraordinarily divine, resembling the legendary phoenix of ancient times.

The flaming Divine Bird flew to the top of the divine tree, resting on the fiery divine tree.

"Indeed, a mutation phenomenon—"

Jiang Rilan was instantly overjoyed, all doubts cleared, "Looking at this phenomenon, the mutation of the Divine Bird is extraordinary, already surpassing any Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow my Jiang family has ever had!"

"In another two to three days, it should be attempting Rank Three Core Formation, ... excellent!"

He turned his head, "Ruoxu, this Divine Bird... will accompany you in establishing unparalleled achievements in the future!"

Jiang Ruoxu became increasingly thrilled.

"Sir, this is the Divine Pill made from Taiyi Life Soul Herbs, you may take it now."

Tan Qingxue offered a fiery red pill, Jiang Ruoxu checked it carefully, confirmed there was nothing amiss, then swallowed it.

He also entered an adjacent grand formation near Spiritual Essence Peak and adjusted his status, beginning to wait—

The news of the bloodline mutation also spread rapidly through the Jiang family.

"To mutate the bloodline, how wonderful..."

"Blessings upon the Jiang family, blessings upon the Jiang family!"

"This mutation level is unknown, but if it can break through the Rank Four limitation and enter Rank Five... that would be defying the heavens!"

Everyone in the Jiang family was filled with utmost anticipation!

...

Inside the grand formation.

Li An remained shackled, but his condition was exceptionally strong.

His vitality merged with the Divine Bird, their energies harmonized, and both human and beast’s Divine Souls resonated, achieving perfect unity.

Various Spiritual Qi frenziedly surged, voraciously consumed by both human and bird alike.

It’s fortunate that the Jiang family had vast resources prepared adequately, along with a high-tier Earth Vein, otherwise, the pressure of both human and bird attempting breakthroughs simultaneously would have been enormous.
