Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 430 - 258: Breaking Through Divinity Transformation (Extended - )
The Fairy sat gracefully amidst the sea of flowers. Her complexion was as flawless as jade, and her features gentle and delicate. The light purple gown she wore added to her ethereal beauty. Her long, black hair flowed like a cascading waterfall, and her eyes sparkled like the stars in the celestial river, seemingly able to see through all worldly illusions.
Fairy!
Li An couldn’t help but be momentarily entranced. Was this the presence within the celestial coffin?
He immediately bowed and said, "This junior, Li An, pays respects to the Fairy!"
"Congratulations on your emergence, Fairy!"
The Fairy nodded slightly and said, "Thanks to you, otherwise, I wouldn’t know how long I would remain asleep here, perhaps harmed by that vile creature."
"Do you have many doubts in your heart?"
Li An nodded: "Fairy, you perceive everything."
The Fairy smiled gently and got straight to the point: "The Life Nourishing Immortal Skill you cultivate comes from my master – the Evergreen Immortal Venerable."
"The Immortal Realm has encountered a great calamity, and all immortals have fallen... To combat that great disaster, he and other unparalleled beings painstakingly created this technique over countless eons."
"Sadly, since its creation, the fate of this skill has been tumultuous. My master passed away, my fellow disciples also perished, and I was left alone to guard this technique, tormented by an eerie erosion, slumbering here."
"The Spiritual Parrot was initially my spirit pet, but because I did not share the opportunity of immortality with it, it developed malicious intent, turned to enemies, and tried to turn me into a sinister fetus..."
"Back then, when you entered this place, I used the last of my strength to impart part of the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill to you, and helped your Primordial Spirit escape from here. It was a desperate attempt, and I never imagined that karma would persist, eventually leading to today."
Li An’s heart was conflicted. His turbulent two lifetimes were all due to the thoughts of this Fairy...
Simultaneously, he also noticed the two words the Fairy mentioned: part!
This implied that the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill he had been cultivating wasn’t complete?!
Truth be told, Li An wasn’t sure!
His perspective was limited, his power too meager, and he couldn’t discern the truth.
But now that this Fairy said so... it couldn’t possibly be false!
"This junior is curious, how is it that the Spiritual Parrot couldn’t perceive the method I practiced?"
Li An inquired curiously.
"The Life Nourishing Immortal Skill was crafted by various Immortal Venerables with sincerity and courage from the primordial chaos. To preserve this method, they used heaven-defying techniques to conceal its karmic ties, making it undetectable by ordinary beings unless they encounter someone of my master’s stature... but in this world, how many such beings exist?"
The Fairy let out a gentle sigh, then continued: "Back then, I saved you and granted you a Secret Technique. Now that you have repaid that karma, you and I owe nothing to each other... you can make a choice."
"One option is to continue cultivating the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill. In doing so, you’ll enter my tutelage, but you’ll also be swept into the whirlpool of my sect’s affairs, with a fate uncertain, inevitably facing sinister misfortunes, and possibly witnessing the unspeakable great terrors."
"The other option is to leave this path now. I will destroy the Life Seed within you, severing all memories related to the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill, allowing you to live freely. I could also impart to you one or two other Immortal Techniques, enough for your cultivation."
Upon hearing this, Li An fell into contemplation.
The Fairy’s revelations were absolutely true secrets. If leaked, the entire world would be shaken.
A great calamity in the Immortal Realm, all immortals falling?
Enormous karmic ties, sinister misfortunes, unspeakable great terrors...
The very thought, that even this Fairy’s master was slain, and her fellow disciples eradicated... was enough to suffocate Li An.
Retreat for vast seas and broad skies?
With other Immortal Techniques, Li An might find a more stable path in the Spirit Realm, and an easier future...
Yet Li An contemplated for just a moment before abruptly lifting his gaze and declared: "This junior is willing to follow the Fairy, to arduously cultivate the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill, a lifetime without regrets!"
He was resolute!
Cultivating other Immortal Techniques might seem less arduous, but it was destined for mediocrity!
Even if Li An managed to barely become an immortal in the future, he would never be able to resist the great calamity spoken of by the Fairy. Living in momentary peace, the outcome was already determined – he would merely become one of the ordinary immortals fallen under the great disaster!
Yet the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill was created by numerous Immortal Venerables to counter the great calamity!
Perhaps it was the only solution.
The Fairy nodded, gently reached out, and a trace of Immortal Light entered Li An’s Spirit Platform. She said, "From today onward, you are the third-generation disciple under the tutelage of the Evergreen Immortal Venerable, my disciple. This is the sect’s inheritance, including the complete Life Nourishing Immortal Skill and the Evergreen Immortal Skill, all bestowed upon you."
Li An hurriedly knelt and performed a grand salute, saying, "Greetings, master!"
His heart was filled with unparalleled excitement!
This was the complete inheritance of immortality, such a thing could be deemed the true supreme fortune. Possibly in the entire Spirit Realm, only major forces like the Dao Sect and the Brahma Sect might possess it.
For a Loose Cultivator like Li An, even if he achieved the Mahayana stage and attempted Crossing the Tribulation, obtaining this would be extremely difficult!
In the world, even mere fragments of information or opportunities related to immortals would incite fierce battles and conflict.
And now, Li An gained it without any effort!
The Fairy accepted his salute calmly and said, "You must know, the Evergreen Immortal Venerable was once among the ten great Immortal Venerables of the Immortal Realm; the Evergreen Immortal Skill was his method of proving immortality. Under him, there were seven disciples corresponding to the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. I am the last, known as the Purple Fairy."
Purple Fairy!
"You are the foremost among the third-generation disciples, and the only inheritor. I bestow upon you the title ’Zangyezi,’ how is it?"
Zangyezi.
Li An said, "Zangyezi thanks the master for the bestowed title!"
