Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

Blood oozed from the corners of Li An’s mouth, and his face was somewhat pale. Just moments ago during the fierce battle, he had been feigning to appear as if he had reached his limits, even to the point where it seemed to Ye Tiancan that Li An had paid a great price to wield that spell.

Ye Cauldron stared at Li An and said, "Alright, I agree."

"There are two conditions. First, hand over all the Essence of Time you possess."

"Second, disclose all arrangements of the Biluo Palace."

Li An replied, "I agree with you, but you must first swear not to kill me—"

Ye Cauldron: "I, Ye Cauldron, swear by the Great Dao not to kill you, or may I suffer from celestial wrath!"

"Still not enough." Li An shook his head.

Ye Cauldron raised an eyebrow, "What more do you want?"

"You must promise to take me to join the opportunity on the Evergreen Star. Moreover, ensure my safety before the opportunity on the Evergreen Star is opened, and do not allow your subordinates, including your older brother, to kill me."

Li An had to be cautious. If Ye Cauldron ordered others to kill Li An, it wouldn’t technically break the oath, and Li An would walk right into a trap.

Ye Cauldron was annoyed, saying, "Do you think I’m as cunning as you and the Biluo Palace?"

He then swore another oath as Li An requested. Only then did Li An release Ye Cauldron, smiling, "Brother Ye, happy cooperation—"

"Happy cooperation."

Ye Cauldron remarked, "Where are the items?"

Li An handed over all the Essence of Time without holding back a single piece, and explained his conspiracy with Yunxi. Ye Cauldron listened with a grim expression, "Very well."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly slapped Li An on the shoulder—

Li An’s face changed, wanting to resist, but Ye Cauldron now used the Supreme Celestial Immortal Divine Power called "Mountain Moving Technique." As if a mountain descended, Li An’s shoulder cracked, bones breaking as Ye Cauldron grabbed Li An’s chest clothing, coldly saying:

"Nameless Asura, aren’t you rampant now?"

His immortal power streamed into Li An’s body, causing him immense pain and spasms.

"Your... oath..."

"Rest assured, I won’t kill you now. I’ll bring you to the opportunity on the Evergreen Star’s site. After all, a person like you is perfect for dying with—"

He took out an Immortal Binding Rope, tying Li An up, then gave Ye Tiancan a few pills, stating, "We must hurry back before changes occur!"

Ye Tiancan also nodded, and the two quickly sped toward the Evergreen Star with Li An.

Along the way, Ye Tiancan harbored intense resentment, kicking and punching Li An, needless to say.

All of this was anticipated by Li An, so he took it in stride unless his life was threatened.

If Ye Cauldron intended to kill, he might as well display his Mysterious Celestial Immortal level and fight him!

Ye Cauldron also sent word to all his collaborators, asking everyone to head towards the Evergreen Star. Their numbers swelled, even with Dao Qian bringing his fragmented Primordial Spirit, gritting his teeth at the sight of Li An, consumed with hatred.

"Nameless Asura, I’ll kill you..."

He wished to devour Li An.

"How dare you destroy my Saint Child’s body, you deserve death!!"

His Guardian Chen Weiran also wanted to kill Li An.

But Ye Cauldron shook his head, "I already promised not to kill him before the opportunity site opens."

Everyone reluctantly ceased.

"Gu Nianchen..."

Meanwhile, Li Nianxue, following Dao Qian and others, frowned slightly. She suspected Gu Nianchen’s identity but thought too highly of Taishang Li An’s cultivation to interfere further.

Along the way, hearing that Nameless Asura was captured by Ye Cauldron, everyone gathered was profoundly astonished, heaping praises on Ye Cauldron.

"Thank goodness brother Ye captured this fiend; otherwise, we’d have no peace of mind!"

"Indeed, I’ve been hiding a piece of Essence of Time, staying hidden for days, afraid of being targeted by him."

"Double-Headed Mountain, Ziwei Mountain, Stone Mining Mountain... So many talents perished at his hands. Even Dao Qian, the Saint Child of the Celestial Pearl Sacred Land, and Luo Changying, the Six-Color Profound Immortal Fairy of Luoying Mountain, had their bodies destroyed by him. This villain is truly fierce!"

"Gu Nianchen, haha, once things settle, we must perform Soul Searching on him. I’m curious about his origins!"

Everyone voiced their harsh criticisms of Li An.

Li An remained silent, feigning death.

The entourage grew larger, with over a thousand people from various Holy Lands, famed mountains, and the Treasure Cauldron Palace rallying around Ye Cauldron, showcasing his formidable influence.

Soon, they arrived outside the Evergreen Star, where Ye Cauldron opened a pathway, isolating temporal chaos, allowing everyone to enter together.

"Elder Chen, entering is futile. It’s better to wait here."

Ye Cauldron spoke calmly, glancing at Chen Weiran and others.

The disciples of various famed mountains had Guardians beside them, making it difficult for Ye Cauldron to carry out his plans if they entered.

The elders nodded, truthfully unwilling to enter. Given the temporal chaos on the stardust, they’d meet their end without having cultivated the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill.

Better to wait outside.

Tan Qingxue, having shallow cultivation in the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill, also stayed behind. Fearing for Li Nianxue’s fierce nature, she kept Lin Nianxue on the treasure ship.

...

The group of geniuses entered at once.

"Elder Mo!"

Just entering the Evergreen Star, atop a mountain peak, they saw a flag with an elder bound to it, motionless.
