Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 312 - 227: Visitors from the Spirit Realm (Long - ) (Part 3)
So, he first set a trap to lure Shangguan Shengxian inside, but he never intended to actually kill Shangguan Shengxian; he merely wanted to use Shangguan Shengxian’s power to trigger the Heaven-Reaching Talisman.
Then the Spirit Realm arrived, and just when Shangguan Shengxian thought this was Li An’s real purpose, the Demon Coffin escaped!
Layer upon layer of calculations.
All of this, he devised the plan, while Shangguan Xiaoxiao provided the effort.
Thank the heavens, Shangguan Shengxian has finally left!
From now on, Li An can attain the most precious thing—freedom!
No longer needing to live in constant fear, after all, Shangguan Shengxian has been exposed, and from now on, people from the Spirit Realm will continuously hunt her down. She might be too busy protecting herself, allowing Li An to practice his cultivation in peace.
The great plan, success at last!
In fact, ever since the Profound Yang Sect was destroyed, and he got entangled with the Demon Sect, he had been very passive, constantly on the move, hiding his identity, until today, he finally gained the upper hand.
Hundreds of years of struggle!
However, Li An still isn’t entirely at ease now.
In fact, a huge problem will soon come his way...
That is the major forces of the Spirit Realm.
Once they finish pursuing Shangguan Shengxian and the Demon Coffin and come to their senses, they will definitely investigate everything that happened here, and Li An will instantly become their focus.
Li An had considered this problem from the start.
Escape? It’s useless; once targeted by so many unimaginable forces, where could he possibly escape to?
Moreover, he couldn’t use some of his methods, like hiding his aura and concealing himself. In the short term, those major forces might not find him, but it will arouse even greater interest from them.
A person who can oppose Shangguan Shengxian and hide himself so well that he can’t be found—could it be that the opportunities he possesses are even greater than Shangguan Shengxian’s?
It’s possible the Spirit Realm might focus directly on the Emperor Origin Realm!
Using a puppet to explode in his likeness, deceiving heaven and confusing them, Li An also considered.
But such a method may work against ordinary people, but those major forces would certainly be able to detect and discover the puppet’s truth, inadvertently exposing that Li An possesses a Demon Skill.
After careful thought, facing such a situation, there is only one solution...
Taking advantage of when everyone hasn’t reacted yet, Li An closed his eyes, focused intently, quietly invoked the power of his Life Seed, and shattered his own Dantian, then tore open his own Golden Core, guiding the Life Seed growing in the Dantian to hide within the ruptured Golden Core. The Spirit Liquid in his Dantian pool completely dried up, even the nascent Purple Mansion turned into a chaotic gas---
As soon as he finished doing all this, Li An couldn’t help but spew a mouthful of blood, his entire body convulsing in pain!
This was undoubtedly a terrifying torture.
Self-harm!
Not a disguise or charade, the pain he endured was exactly the same as if someone else had shattered his Dantian and broken his Golden Core.
His head was soaked with cold sweat, his face pale.
Meanwhile, in his mind, the divine fire of his soul unfurled, and the Primordial Spirit of Shangguan Xiaoxiao entered his divine fire from the round platform!
Pressing against his Primordial Spirit.
"Li Gou... the price you pay is too great,"
Shangguan Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but remark.
Even though she already understood Li An’s character, she still found it unacceptable...
Li An directly resorted to self-harm; how many years, how much hardship, would it take to recover?
He truly knew how to endure, truly knew how to survive.
He could be said to stop at nothing to survive!
"Enough talk, help me quickly..."
Li An said with difficulty.
All this... was to deal with the ensuing investigations from the major forces, representing the last part of his plan.
Of course, the greatest confidence allowing him to do this was the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill.
Now that the Life Seed had formed, he hid it inside the ruptured Golden Core, so no one could discover it. Although his Dantian seemed shattered, Golden Core fractured, Dantian pool dried up, it was all a façade driven by the Life Seed!
For others, the Dantian, Golden Core, Purple Mansion, etc., are the foundation of cultivation, but not for Li An.
The Life Seed is!
Anyone investigating his Dantian or Purple Mansion would think they were utterly ruined, but actually, it’s far from that serious. With the nurturing air of the Life Seed for a few decades, he was confident of a complete recovery.
Exchanging a few decades for peace, Li An thought it was worth it.
Simultaneously, he also hid Shangguan Xiaoxiao inside his Spirit Platform to avoid being discovered.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao’s Primordial Spirit eyes were full of complexity, but she said nothing more, instead using Secret Techniques within Li An’s soul fire to aid his Primordial Spirit...
At this moment, various images flashed ceaselessly through Li An’s mind.
With Shangguan Xiaoxiao’s help, he fabricated some non-existent memories in his mind...
"This is also dangerous. Using puppet Secret Techniques to fabricate cognition for yourself, though theoretically feasible, and the Demon Sect has people who have done it, there is still a certain chance that the major forces can find out..."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao mumbled.
－－The Immortal Celestial Demon Skill could turn others into living puppets.
In fact, refining a person into a living puppet fundamentally alters the puppet’s cognition.
This method could also be applied to oneself.
According to Shangguan Xiaoxiao, within the Demon Sect, there was once a supreme Demon Monarch who used puppet Secret Techniques on himself to erase some of his cognition to overcome his Heart Demon, allowing him to progress further.
Li An now used this method for an extra layer of disguise.
Because he anticipated that once the people from the Spirit Realm found him, they would thoroughly investigate everything, including using soul searching Secret Techniques!
Therefore, comprehensive preparation was a must.
...
Li An’s expression was pained, and the mental torment was terrifying; this method directly impacted his Primordial Spirit!
But he gritted his teeth, enduring, and endured more...
...
Good night
