Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

"Set off tomorrow, everyone prepare ahead."

Hongbo Fairy waved her hand, and immediately, multiple forces retreated.

"Your task is heavy."

Hongbo Fairy turned to look at Li An, Yunxi, and others, and said, "The secret realm of Taiji Mountain directly leads to the Longevity Immortal Palace, but the Longevity Immortal Palace is in the Deceit Realm. Among orthodox immortals, only those with extremely strong life force or those who have successfully practiced the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill can enter."

"Therefore, once you enter the secret realm, you’ll have to rely on yourselves."

She waved her hand, and in the grand hall, a light and shadow appeared, seemingly depicting some scenery. The most prominent among them were two gigantic altars, and a vague Immortal Palace.

"These two altars, one related to life, and the other to death. You lead the people to proceed, use the offerings to activate them in the order of first life then death. This will open the way to the Longevity Immortal Palace. Then, you will enter the Longevity Immortal Palace, activate the life and death wheel, and the reviving Immortal Wind will gush out. From then on, the deceit will retreat, and orthodox Immortal Dao will return to the world."

She looked at Li An and waved her hand, two jade boxes floated towards Li An, landing in his hands.

Inside were offerings she personally made!

"After this, you will be the first hero. Once the heavenly court is re-established, you can be conferred as a Great Saint, enjoying incense offerings from the world, and sharing longevity with heaven."

Her words were calm, but many talents nearby couldn’t help but display complex expressions, including envy, sighs, and apprehension.

Great Saint!

They all understood the weight of these two words.

Only those with great achievements in the world can possibly be conferred, once recognized as a saint, worldwide honor follows, even when faced with Daluo, one must pay respects.

If this battle succeeds, Li An is destined to be recorded in history.

But they were also aware of how dangerous this truly was.

Li An rose and saluted: "Disciple will give it my all!"

"Go now, make preparations to start off tomorrow."

Hongbo Fairy waved her hand: "Li An stay, I have some words to convey."

Yunxi and others dispersed, leaving only Hongbo Fairy and Li An in the great hall.

"I wonder what orders from Senior Aunt?"

Li An said.

"Inside the Longevity Immortal Palace lies an opportunity for longevity."

Hongbo Fairy spoke calmly, Li An’s face revealed a shocked expression.

"After you go to the Longevity Immortal Palace, aside from activating the reviving Immortal Wind, the most important thing is this item."

"Bring it out successfully, and after that, being conferred as a saint will be a small matter. If successful, it’s not impossible for you to sit on the throne of the heavenly court in the future."

"Thus, the Dao Sect will truly be everlasting, and you can truly propagate the Dao Sect across the myriad worlds."

Li An was tongue-tied for a while before saying: "If... unable to bring it out?"

Hongbo Fairy suddenly smiled and said: "Then everyone will die, and the Dao Sect will be completely gone."

Her smile made Li An feel a chill.

It was not just the threat implicit in Hongbo Fairy’s words, but also because... what Hongbo Fairy was telling him now, was yet another trap.

If he hadn’t heard more from Shangguan Shengxian, he would have truly been fooled by Hongbo Fairy.

After sacrificing the life and death altars, Li An heads to the Longevity Immortal Palace to seize the opportunity for longevity and activate the reviving Immortal Wind?

Nonsense.

Li An himself is the offering!

After sacrificing at the life and death altars, his mission ends. At that time, the Longevity Immortal Palace will open, and the true mastermind will appear to seize that opportunity.

Evidently, her pretended threat was to focus Li An’s attention on the Longevity Immortal Palace, even intentionally provoking Li An’s inner greed.

When Li An regards the Longevity Immortal Palace as his goal, he naturally wouldn’t think of dying on the life and death altars.

It’s absurd how well this little lady acted, threatening and enticing, making it seem like they really need Li An to seize the opportunity.

They’re all schemers.

Li An remained silent for a long time and said: "Senior Aunt, you said I would live, wouldn’t you?"

Hongbo Fairy said: "Of course."

"Can Senior Aunt swear? That if I succeed, you will ensure my safety!"

Hongbo Fairy looked at him and couldn’t help but smile, saying: "Fine, I will swear, if you successfully bring out the opportunity for longevity, you will be the master of the heavenly court, the world’s saint, and I will never intend to harm you."

Still deception.

Her oath is meaningless, for Li An simply has no chance of touching the opportunity for longevity, let alone successfully bringing it out.

But Li An didn’t expose it, only his face slightly relaxed, and said: "Moreover, according to Senior Aunt, there must be someone guarding the life and death altars, it is extremely perilous, and I wish to request some protective items."

Hongbo Fairy said: "No need, even if I give you a Daluo Immortal Artifact, once between the life and death altars, it is futile."

"What the disciple wants is not a Magical Artifact... but a Pill."

"The Nine-Turn Immortal Pill!"

Nine-Turn Immortal Pill!

Hongbo Fairy looked at Li An, sneered: "You have quite the appetite, do you know what a Nine-Turn Immortal Pill is? Such a pill can only be refined by an Immortal Venerable, take one, and lifespan increases by a hundred thousand years, flesh regenerates from bones, revives the dead..."

"Precisely, that’s why the disciple needs it!"

Li An said: "Please, Senior Aunt, grant it, otherwise the disciple’s heart, truly uneasy."

Hongbo Fairy remained noncommittal: "I’ll give you an answer tomorrow."

Only then did Li An respectfully withdraw.

"He really is a meticulous one... Junior Sister, he doesn’t resemble your disciple at all."

Hongbo Fairy chuckled and said: "Instead, he seems more like mine."

Purple Fairy’s voice came faintly: "Schemes abound, yet he still can’t escape your grasp. His little tricks, compared to you, are merely inferior."
