Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 406 - 252: News of the Immortal? (Extended - )
The imprint left by the Jade Parrot on his body finally disappeared completely, and Li An felt a sense of relief.
Being eyed by such a bizarre existence really made him uneasy.
After this incident, Li An’s understanding of the secret realm was elevated to a new level.
He also had a doubt in his heart: the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill was the foundation of the Demon Sect, wasn’t it lost after the Demon Emperor’s death? Besides, the Demon Emperor’s tomb is in the Emperor Origin Realm.
But in the view of that Jade Parrot, there was a Demon Skill inheritance in the secret realm, and Li An had obtained it.
He awakened Shangguan Xiaoxiao and gave her some De Fu Pills.
Back then, before exploring the secret realm, Li An pretended to let Shangguan Xiaoxiao sleep and recuperate first. After all, he didn’t want Shangguan Xiaoxiao to be involved in this secret realm yet.
This was his foundation.
"Li Gou, just say it, what do you want me to help with?"
Shangguan Xiaoxiao spoke lazily while eating the De Fu Pills.
"Nothing much, I just want to understand the origins of our Demon Sect..."
Li An smiled and said, "I’ve heard that the Demon Sect was founded by the Demon Emperor, but I’m more curious about what happened before the Demon Emperor?"
Li An suspected that the Demon Skill inheritance in the secret realm might predate the Demon Sect?
Shangguan Xiaoxiao gave Li An a surprised look and said, "What exactly is in that so-called secret realm of yours?"
But being clever as she was, she knew that Li Gou valued the matters of the secret realm dearly, so she didn’t pursue it further and said:
"There are several theories about the origin of our Demon Sect. The first one says the Demon Emperor was a fallen avatar of some Immortal, or an indestructible evil thought of a deceased Immortal; the second says the Demon Sect originated from the Immortal Court, where the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill, stained with blood during a certain war in the Immortal Realm, fell to the Spirit Realm and was obtained by the Demon Emperor. And of course, there’s the third, where the Demon Emperor was an apprentice to an Immortal."
Li An was somewhat shocked; although these legends differ, they all shared a common element: Immortals!
Could the origin of the Demon Sect really be linked to the Immortals?
The reason Li An was inquiring about the origin of the Demon Sect from Shangguan Xiaoxiao was because he suspected that the secret realm might have some connection to the origin of the Demon Sect!
After all, the Demon Emperor was dead, his tomb buried in the Emperor Origin Realm, yet there were Demon Skill inheritances in the secret realm, which meant that these might have existed even before the Demon Emperor.
Perhaps it’s related to the origin of the Demon Sect.
If the origin of the Demon Sect is indeed related to the Immortals, does it mean that this secret realm is also connected to the Immortals?
Li An’s heart raced!
Why do cultivators strive so hard, traversing through trials? The grandest of ambitions is nothing more than to seek longevity and transcend causality, the ultimate journey being becoming an Immortal.
Super sects like the Dao Sect and Brahma Sect, in the vastness of ages past, are said to have had someone achieve immortality and ascend!
If an opportunity related to Immortals were to be revealed, the entire Spirit Realm would likely go mad, with even powerful Harmonization Dao participating as just the beginning, and legendary Mahayana Practitioners and Tribulation Crossing veterans would surely make their appearance.
Li An took a deep breath to suppress the turbulence in his heart.
Even though this secret realm could very well be related to Immortals, Li An hadn’t lost his head. He knew very well his own weight.
With just his Nascent Soul cultivation, going to a place like that?
That would be courting death!
Not to mention, a single Jade Parrot was enough to easily toy with him.
He would leave the secret realm aside for now and await the day he possessed absolute power before exploring it.
There was no rush, after all.
Moreover, in a sense, Li An had already gained a great opportunity from it.
The Life Nourishing Immortal Skill!
This cultivation technique, not even the Jade Parrot could discern, and Li An believed it to be extraordinarily defiant of heaven’s laws.
For now, all he needed was to cultivate steadily.
Emerging from his place of seclusion, he collected the array and finally departed, then ventured into human cultivation cities to inquire about the events of recent years.
The battle that occurred back then had already spread through the world, known to all!
Firstly, from the side of the Emperor Origin Realm, it was said that back then, in the Windfield Mountain Range, a kind of surging, miraculous vitality suddenly welled up, leading many to believe the opening of a secret realm was imminent. The forces of the Evil King faction and the Dao Sect erupted in a tremendous, earth-shattering battle, with strong ones of the Void Refining Level participating!
The dozen human cultivation cities surrounding the Windfield Mountain Range, like Luofang City, were directly shattered, becoming scorched earth.
The saintess of the Evil King faction, Zhan Qingxuan, and the Dao Sect genius Li Yunxiao also made appearances. In the end, which side won, no one knew.
Meanwhile, in the Primordial Spirit Realm, the battle in the Supreme Profound Mountain Range garnered little attention, while the battle involving the Jiang Clan sparked much discussion, remaining a hot topic for a long while. It’s said that during that battle, a celestial maiden of the Dao Sect, Tan Qingxue, single-handedly fought four evil cultivators of the Divinity Transformation Stage, killing two of them, her talent breathtaking, making her famous worldwide.
The Jiang Clan was not breached! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Now, six years later, evil cultivators had vanished from the Primordial Spirit Realm, indicating they likely lost in their confrontation against the Dao Sect.
Li An couldn’t help but marvel, the foundation of the Dao Sect was indeed very strong. He had thought he could make use of the evil cultivators to ruin Li Yunxiao’s endeavors, but in the end, the ’knife’ that was the evil cultivators could not cut through the hard bones of the Dao Sect.
But it didn’t matter.
Li An changed his appearance, life aura, and other aspects, and then set off towards the Thousand Water Rhythm Continent.
His target was the treasure site of Gao Tai!
Being a renowned Alchemist in the Thousand Water Rhythm Continent, Gao Tai’s treasury must be considerable, and for the currently impoverished Li An, it was very important.
Before long, he arrived at the Thousand Water Rhythm Continent, first going to a remote location to retrieve the Red Infant Flowers he had left there, then heading to "White Rock Province."
