Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

Ziyun the Immortal cried out, "There’s a change in the Godfall Land!"

His mind spun rapidly, instantly realizing that this must be Li An’s handiwork!

A strategy to rescue someone by besieging the base of power!

The Godfall Land is fundamental to Purple Cloud Mountain. If something goes wrong, the high-level members can’t leave, and celestial-level experts might not catch up with Li An. In this way, he would be like a dragon entering the sea, making it difficult to capture him again.

"I’ll chase him!"

Leng Rufeng spoke up.

But Ziyun the Immortal had already stopped him, staring in the direction of the Godfall Land with a look of fear in his eyes. "No, even if you go, you won’t catch up to him in time. There’s no time!... Everyone, all Golden Immortals and Celestial-level experts, gather up, follow me to protect the Godfall Land!"

"Something’s wrong with the Dao Fruit Flame in the Godfall Land. If we can’t stabilize it in time, I’m afraid our Purple Cloud Mountain could disappear forever!!"

He was a Taiyi Golden Immortal and fully understood the magnitude of the trap Li An had set for them. Judging by the current fluctuations from the Godfall Land... it’s likely big trouble.

"Heavy Light!"

"This ungrateful and treacherous wretch!"

The Ancient Immortal, Leng Rufeng, and others cursed furiously, but were powerless. They had no chance to pursue Li An and all turned towards the Godfall Land in a hurry.

...

Li An continuously used the divine power of shrinking the ground to an inch and, in the blink of an eye, had left Purple Cloud Province far behind by hundreds of thousands of miles. He sensed no one was pursuing him, but was still uneasy, so he continued fleeing for two more hours, leaving the boundaries of Purple Cloud Province. Then, he hid in a pond in a forest, holding his breath, concealing his aura, and remaining motionless.

Worried about pursuit from Purple Cloud Mountain, he stayed there for six months!

Half a year passed, and only then did he slowly emerge, casually catching and eating two crocodiles from the pond, drifting along leisurely, changing his appearance, and altering his life aura to become a middle-aged man. He headed towards Broken Dawn Mountain.

Having left Purple Cloud Mountain, his first step was naturally to ascend to Profound Immortal in the Immortal Vine Cave!

The drink not only advanced his mysterious cultivation to Celestial Immortal, but also completely perfected his formal Immortal Dao realm.

He wasn’t in a hurry. If by any chance the major Golden Immortals of Purple Cloud Mountain were watching over the surroundings, using the divine power of shrinking the ground to an inch would inevitably expose himself. He wandered like a traveler, taking his time accompanying various caravans, occasionally changing his appearance, making it impossible to trace him.

But doing it this way took a long time—about ten years passed before Li An reached a city fairly close to Purple Cloud Mountain.

Within the city, the events from ten years ago regarding Purple Cloud Mountain were still relished as the most popular topic of conversation.

"Purple Cloud Mountain truly suffered a major loss. Godfall Land was tampered with. It supposedly cost a great deal to stabilize it..."

"Heh heh, an ancient bronze lamp went out and the Fire of Time dimmed, nearly causing the mountain to collapse."

"What exactly happened? I heard it was a creature returning from the Deceit Realm, trying to single-handedly destroy Purple Cloud Mountain in a rage. Purple Cloud Mountain even invited people from the Netherworld later; is it true..."

"Shh, discussing Purple Cloud Mountain is one thing, but who dares to slander the Netherworld, are you courting death?"

Even on the streets, Li An could hear many rumors, which left him quite astounded. He never expected that merely tampering with the ancient bronze lamp would cause such a massive commotion, impacting Purple Cloud Mountain so terribly...

Had he known, Li An would have sabotaged two more, possibly toppling the entire Purple Cloud Mountain, thus avenging the Dao Sect!

—For Li An, everything was a matter of profit, but beyond profit, there was still hatred. However, on a day-to-day basis, hatred did not affect his actions.

To him, the Gong Clan, Yi Clan, and Purple Cloud Mountain had all signed their own death warrants. The fall of the Spirit Realm and the Dao Sect were all due to them.

So, even though Miss Gongshan Xiu from the Gong Clan had shown him some kindness, he still refined without hesitation—hadn’t Gongshan Xiu also enjoyed the Blood Food and nurtured Blood Medicine made from people of the Dao Sect?

He stayed in this city for quite a while, intentionally or unintentionally heading towards Broken Dawn Mountain several times. Once confirmed everything was normal there, only then did he set off towards it.

Entering Broken Dawn Mountain, he located the peak where the Immortal Vine Cave used to be. With a thought, he resonated with the Primal Root inside the Immortal Vine Cave, and an inexplicable barrier appeared. He stepped inside, rippling like water waves, and his figure disappeared from sight.

Just as he entered the Immortal Vine Cave, the Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow came over, affectionately brushing against him. Having not seen him in years, the Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow had indeed become immortal, reaching the Seven-Petaled True Immortal level, rivalling worldly geniuses.

"Alright, alright,"

Li An smiled, petting Xiaoqing’s head. In this world, the only one he could truly trust was this one bird.

Feeling the aura of Immortal Dao within the Immortal Vine Cave, his appearance rapidly changed, reverting to his youthful self, exuding an immortal aura, transcendent and ethereal. The Dao charm and Immortal Qi on his body surged uncontrollably, ready to explode.

He was on the verge of entering the Profound Immortal Realm!

"I can attempt the breakthrough now—"

Li An murmured, retrieving a ring from which an Immortal Light floated out, revealing a Dao Fruit in front of him.

The Profound Immortal Level Dao Fruit taken from within Purple Cloud Mountain!

The Profound Immortal Level Dao Fruit, though taken, did not greatly impact the ancient bronze lamp, and no one noticed. Therefore, he carried many shares with him. However, the Celestial-level ones would affect the Fire of Time’s prosperity, so just before leaving, he only managed to secure two.
