Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

Reaching the peak, Li An gazed around, contemplating where the opportunity of this place lay.

Biluo Palace, Treasure Cauldron Palace, and others all said this place was related to the Evergreen Immortal Venerable. Where exactly did the Evergreen Immortal Venerable find his opportunity here?

There were no caves or barriers around.

After a brief thought, Li An sat directly on a stone stool beside a stone table.

This stone stool was exactly where he had been invited to sit the last time he entered the Deceit Realm from the descent point on Purple Cloud Mountain and encountered that person in the Deceit Realm.

As he sat down, he suddenly felt as if time and space were shifting before him, with many illusions flashing by. For a moment, he seemed to see that person’s smile again in the Deceit Realm, and also saw an elder in green from many years ago, who also came here and sat in that spot...

"The Evergreen Immortal Venerable once sat here!"

Li An murmured, did the Evergreen Immortal Venerable also see the residual image left by that person?

In a daze, he suddenly looked down, and inexplicably, two things appeared on the stone table.

They were a cup of wine and a scroll of book!

The text on the book was entirely different from that of the current age and was unreadable, but just one glance and its meaning was clear to the heart. Li An recognized it immediately; the name of the book was:

Life Nourishing Immortal Skill —

Was the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill really from this place?!

Li An was shocked. Concentrating, he examined the contents of the scroll, and on the front page, he saw a line of text formed by blue mana:

"Heaven and earth in chaos, I pursued the time-space of the universe to this place, witnessing the Immortal Scripture, profound and boundless, capable of resolving great calamity. Having read its techniques, the scripture remains here. If we fail to resolve the calamity, perhaps future ones who arrive may still have a sliver of hope—"

"Last words of Evergreen."

Was this left by the Evergreen Immortal Venerable?

Li An was even more astonished in his heart. So the Evergreen Immortal Venerable of those years also entered this place and saw this scripture...

He continued to read on, and indeed, this scripture was identical to the complete version of the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill he had learned.

This was the True Scripture.

"The Evergreen Immortal Venerable obtained the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill from this place and passed it on to his disciples. Later, when the Heavenly Court collapsed and the immortals fell, they still couldn’t resist the overwhelming force. In the end, only the Purple Fairy remained, hiding the immortal coffin, fleeing into the Spirit Realm, lying low. Just as I, with a group of old friends, entered the secret realm on an adventure, she chose me..."

Li An murmured to himself, the world transformed, history ebbed and flowed, every character seemed to have their own place and role in history.

No one could rewrite it.

Now, Li An had returned to this place again, seeing the Evergreen Immortal Venerable’s last words again, but the world was already a chaotic mess.

Having finished reading the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill, Li An didn’t touch the Immortal Scripture. He sighed inwardly, this scripture indeed had the power to defy fate and influence the past and present. If he too became a pawn for others and died, perhaps in the future, there would be others who would come to this place, to find a ray of hope.

Seeing the last words of the Evergreen Immortal Venerable, he surprisingly felt a kinship with him.

Then he looked towards the wine beside the book.

Next to the wine, there was also a line of text formed by blue mana:

"Fine brew of ages, essence of time and space from the Era of Eternal Life, only this cup. Drinking it grants endless fortune, but it works best if consumed by a cultivator of the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill, left for those who come later."

Seeing this, Li An couldn’t help but breathe a bit heavily.

The essence of time and space from the Era of Eternal Life!

This was indeed an absolutely good thing.

He gently sniffed it, and indeed felt the endless essence of ages within, causing his Life Seed to expand.

"This cup is the essence of time and space from the Era of Eternal Life. What did the person in the Deceit Realm give me, who traded with me?"

A thought flashed through Li An’s mind, but currently, there was too little information, and he truly couldn’t speculate. He could only stare at the cup of wine, repeatedly inspecting it, circulating the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill to the extreme to sense its components.

He was very cautious now. Even though this item should have been left by the Evergreen Immortal Venerable, Li An still harbored doubts.

In today’s world, he truly had no one he could trust!

Who knew whether the Evergreen Immortal Venerable was good or evil, whether this cup of wine was a trap? After all, such a good thing, could the Evergreen Immortal Venerable really leave it here, not taking it?

Is there such a noble person in the world?

But after repeatedly checking, indeed, this wine contained nothing but the pure essence of ages, without the slightest anomaly.

Li An thought briefly, then immediately stopped hesitating, drinking the cup of wine in one go!

The wine entered his belly like swallowing endless blades of time.

The spiciness burned his throat as if he were gulping down the tears of all living beings.

The vast power of time burst into his body, and at that moment, Li An seemed to have entered another era, witnessing endless light and shadow that had long since vanished...

He saw a small mountain village, where a poor young boy steps out, seeking the path of immortals, enduring hardships, never giving up...

He saw the world vying for supremacy, amidst the Hundred Battle City, endless prodigies battled, but one among them subdued the heroes, emerging victorious, composing the ballad of prodigies...

He saw the bloody battle of Bone Transformation Mountain, a beauty trapped, a person in white stained with blood, confronting the enemies of the present with array, the Bone Transformation Array refining endless blood...

He saw layers of heavenly thunder, golden light spreading everywhere, someone becoming an immortal in the passage of time, might shaking all directions.

He saw chaos in heaven and earth, a global war, gods and demons clashing, ghosts vying for dominance, boats contending in the tumult of the world, over the mountain of corpses and sea of bones, someone calculated the fate of the world...

He saw light and shadow changing, zither melodies echoing across the world, a lone figure traveling, garbed in white, all his close friends already dead...
