Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 192 - 170: Birth of the Golden Core (Long - )
She immediately imparted the inheritance to Li An.
Vast amounts of formation information were transmitted over, Li An carefully absorbed it, and couldn’t help but feel quite delighted.
This set of formation inheritance was sufficient to support him in crafting Rank Three and Rank Four formations.
Moreover, it was evident that Shangguan Xiaoxiao hadn’t given him everything.
"The foundation of the Demon Sect is not to be underestimated..."
He couldn’t help but sigh. Although he obtained the Supreme Celestial Demon Skill, other inheritances were also extremely useful and worth studying slowly.
After receiving the formation inheritance transmitted by Shangguan Xiaoxiao, Li An finally opened his eyes.
He first checked the current state of the Divine Bird.
The Divine Bird’s divine light was subtly hidden, with an exceedingly powerful aura. Li An and the Divine Bird were in perfect accord, so the Divine Bird had no defenses, making Li An’s probe very smooth.
"It’s actually... Golden Core?!"
After Li An’s investigation, he was astonished.
The Divine Bird had actually formed a Golden Core!
For a moment, Li An, who had been immensely happy and joyous, felt inexplicably complex. He had schemed for over two hundred years, enduring a ragged and miserable life to form a Golden Core!
Yet, this mere feathered creature could easily reach this stage...
To some extent, it was somewhat discouraging...
But in reality, it made sense. This Divine Bird egg had been tempered for countless ages amidst the endless Evil Qi of the Ten Thousand Miles Abyss, and later received Li An’s Life Seed aura, which could be considered a deep fortune, so its mutation was understandable.
"Fortunately, this Golden Core Divine Bird now belongs to me!"
Thinking of this, Li An felt comforted.
The stronger the Divine Bird, the better!
Li An himself was a Golden Core, and with a Golden Core Divine Bird... even when facing a Mid-Stage True Core, he could probably kill them in an instant.
Next, Li An began considering coming out of seclusion!
Even though he had formed a Golden Core, he hadn’t forgotten the current perilous situation.
He was still within the Jiang Clan!
The Jiang Clan was not an ordinary force, with three Nascent Souls on the surface.
Once he left seclusion, Li An wouldn’t have the chance to escape.
His only protective talisman was this Divine Bird.
The Divine Bird had already recognized him as its master. If the Jiang family were to harm Li An, they would lose a Golden Core Divine Bird, and if this Divine Bird died, the Jiang Clan’s plan to breed the Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow would fall through. If the two Divine Birds within the clan perished, it might lead to the end of the Jiang Clan’s glory.
Thus, the top brass of the Jiang Clan would inevitably weigh the benefits.
In such a situation, wooing Li An was a very attractive option.
After all, killing Li An would lead to nothing, but wooing him could utilize his Divine Bird along with the Jiang Clan’s Divine Bird to breed and nurture offspring, ensuring the Jiang Clan’s evergreen fortune.
The choice was obvious.
This was the confidence Li An had to venture into dangerous territory, plotting for a Golden Core.
And he would agree to stay in the Jiang Clan for now.
Firstly, finding an opportunity to leave would take time.
Secondly, the Jiang Clan had abundant resources, which were very suitable for Li An’s cultivation, and currently, he was also intending to cultivate the Demon Skill.
The Jiang Clan’s spirit veins, wouldn’t they be quite fitting?
"I can’t appear too strong, or the Jiang family will be very cautious and tense, but I can’t be too weak either, or they will look down on me..."
His thoughts flickered, and he immediately operated the Life Seed to conceal his Golden Core aura.
Only a True Core!
"Has Jiang Ruoxu died..."
Mentally prepared, his eyes narrowed slightly, concerned about this point.
During the Core Formation process, the Taiyi Following Array had always been operating, affecting the area, and Li An couldn’t determine whether he was alive or dead.
If Jiang Ruoxu wasn’t dead, the Jiang Clan might take risks to seize the Divine Bird.
After all, the Divine Bird had previously absorbed Jiang Ruoxu’s blood, so from the Jiang Clan’s perspective, Jiang Ruoxu had a slight chance of becoming the Divine Bird’s master again.
After pondering repeatedly, Li An prepared himself and gently patted the Divine Bird’s head, "Xiaoqing, let’s go—"
Xiaoqing was the name he had given the Divine Bird.
One human and one bird slowly walked out of the place of seclusion.
The massive stone door opened...
...
