Chapter 416: Chapter 254: Attesting to Immortality (Long Chapter)

Inside the cave, two Rank Four Arrays roared simultaneously, engulfing them in an overpowering aura—

"What?!"

Luo Ai and Zhan Qingyu’s expressions changed dramatically, and they hurriedly tried to leap out of the water, but felt their entire bodies stiffen, as if poisoned!

"Resist!"

A copper lock flew out from Zhan Qingyu’s body, its yellow light transforming into a large shield, surprisingly blocking both the flames of the Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow and the sword light of the Profound Light Sword!

"Seeking death—"

Luo Ai spat open his mouth, and a white light burst forth; a bell appeared, emitting a powerful glow and shaking violently, stirring one’s heart and mind—this was the soul-controlling method of the Paradise Sect.

However, the sound of his Spirit Bell had no effect on Li An, who roared mightily, unleashing the Soul-Devouring Sonic Wave Skill he had integrated, shattering Luo Ai’s Spirit Bell directly—

Boom!

"Puff—"

Luo Ai spewed a mouthful of fresh blood, his face pale, "Impossible, how do you know our Paradise Sect’s Soul Skill?!"

He clearly sensed that Li An’s Sound Wave Skill contained the core technique of the Paradise Sect!

Li An had already charged towards Zhan Qingyu, wildly attacking Zhan Qingyu’s yellow light shield with his body. Although Zhan Qingyu was also poisoned, she could still attack, her eyes shooting three fierce beams towards Li An, who raised a layer of black Demon Armor around himself, remaining unharmed!

Immortal Celestial Demon Armor!

"Demon Skill!"

Zhan Qingyu’s face was filled with immense fear. Her copper lock was a life-bound treasure, but at this moment, she couldn’t sustain it, her Spiritual Power circulation damaged, and ultimately, Li An shattered the shield with a punch, gripping her throat!

"Vermilion Transformation Furnace, how dare you!"

Luo Ai’s face changed dramatically, desperately trying to make a move again, but was tightly held by the puppets of Gao Tai and Vermilion Transformation Furnace. Upon seeing the real Vermilion Transformation Furnace, he was dumbfounded—

"No... please, I am Zhan Qingxuan’s sister, I am her sister... If you harm me, she will definitely kill you, definitely!"

Zhan Qingyu’s face was filled with terror, struggling to speak, but Li An remained cold and unyielding, the Immortal Demon Skill intensifying—

As Zhan Qingyu was refined by him, a faint stream of Primordial Qi within her was drawn into Li An’s body!

That substance was indeed the Primordial Qi!

After a long while...

Li An released his hand; Zhan Qingyu stood blankly, no longer resisting.

She had been refined into a puppet of blood and flesh by Li An.

"So that’s how it is..."

Li An read her memory and understood the entire context.

Zhan Qingyu was indeed the younger sister of Zhan Qingxuan!

It’s a pity that despite sharing the same bloodline, they were worlds apart. Zhan Qingxuan was the pride of the heavens, having reached the Divinity Transformation Stage while at the Dao Sect, but Zhan Qingyu was a complete waste; despite receiving various resources and care from Zhan Qingxuan, she couldn’t break through to Divinity Transformation!

Zhan Qingxuan was deeply emotional, so she even shared a stream of her Primordial Qi with Zhan Qingyu, hoping it would change her aptitude and help her progress further on the Immortal Path.

She even selected a genius under the Evil King as a dao companion for her, to help her digest and absorb the Primordial Qi.

But alas, Zhan Qingyu gained the Primordial Qi for years, struggling even to refine it. Coupled with her husband practicing Evil Skill, making him hideous and repulsive, she was eventually seduced by the handsome Luo Ai, adept in the arts of pleasure, while her husband was in seclusion.

Li An couldn’t help but feel a subtle complexity in his heart— the Immortal Dao is indeed incredibly harsh for ordinary people.

Take Zhan Qingyu, for instance, her poor aptitude made it difficult to advance despite more resources; or his past friend Qi Chuanyue, whose talent was stopped at True Core; despite entering that secret realm, after all these years, he only reached Late-Stage Nascent Soul...

Then there’s Shee Anqi, who learned cultivation techniques from Tan Qingxue, but failed in her attempt to reach Divinity Transformation, ultimately depleting her own life...

The further along the journey, the more important aptitude and talent become.

Li An managing to advance steadily is already quite remarkable.

Without sufficient aptitude, many find it hard to pass the Nascent Soul stage, with even small hurdles like progressing from Initial to Mid Stage blocking many.

Humans have limitations, and talent sets the ceiling. Beyond certain levels, hard work may not truly help.

After all this time, under the nurturing of the Life Seed, Li An’s Spirit Root had already advanced to Earth Tier Lower Grade!

Earth Tier Lower Grade, among Nascent Soul cultivators, is considered mid-to-lower range, which is one reason why Li An’s cultivation progress has been relatively slow.

Still, it’s quite good; at least he was moving forward, not halted.

Of course, Li An was very thankful that Zhan Qingyu was such a waste; otherwise, where could he have found this Primordial Qi?

He felt the Primordial Qi in his body. It was now spontaneously orbiting his Life Seed, transforming into a small, yellowish beast as if breathing the aura emanated by the Life Seed. It seemed a bit fearful, wanting to approach the Life Seed but not daring...

Li An couldn’t help but be astonished. What was happening?

According to Shangguan Xiaoxiao, Primordial Qi is a rare creation in the world!

Even under the Evil King’s command, only the highly favored saintess Zhan Qingxuan was qualified to receive it!

Yet this thing seemed... inferior to the Life Seed?

He grew ever more curious about the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill and the Life Seed...

What is this cultivation technique’s origin?

Even the parrot at the entrance of the secret realm couldn’t see through it, was deceived; even the Primordial Qi had to revere it...
