Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

Amidst a scorched earth, a hint of fresh green emerged, growing without the spring breeze, thriving without rain, growing faster and faster until it became a gigantic tree full of lush greenery!

The branches were luxuriant, the foliage vibrant, exuding tremendous vitality, and at a glance, it gave the impression that this tree would never wither.

At this moment, countless threads of green aura flowed between the branches and leaves, and on one particular leaf, a drop of crimson blood was enveloped!

Endless life energy poured down like a grand nurturing, that drop of blood performed a miracle, as if countless lights and shadows gathered from the depths of the universe, finally coalescing into a human form, gradually solidifying into flesh and blood.

Having endured the legendary Celestial Tribulation, Li An was indeed pushed to a dead end. In the midst, he truly faced the brink of life and death, leaving only a drop of blood concealed in the Life Seed, using it as the breath for his rebirth.

After a long, long time, Li An finally opened his eyes.

His eyes were as clear and bright, seemingly able to see through all the illusions of the world, his aura of the Immortal Dao transcendent, as if meditating beyond the realms of time and space, seated within the tree, nurturing himself.

His internal organs glowed, skin like amber, bones like jade, a dragon-like vitality resonating with the giant tree, an astonishing battlefield.

Within him, a Grotto Heaven had been opened, where myriad rays of auspicious light ebbed and flowed, boundless energies of creation, innumerable beams of Great Dao colliding, continually evolving the most forbidden and terrifying Divine Powers within heaven and earth.

"A Great Celestial Immortal? No, perhaps slightly stronger than a Great Celestial Immortal?"

Li An contemplated his own realm, even he was somewhat unsure.

The Great Celestial Immortal was highly revered by the world, considered the strongest Celestial Immortal. Reaching this realm, the Immortal Dao strength was vast and enduring, far surpassing typical immortals. Most importantly, one could self-nurture various Spells of Great Skill, wonderfully limitless.

But for a Great Celestial Immortal, there was a limit to the Spells they could self-nurture.

Generally speaking, mastering three to five kinds of Great Celestial Immortal Techniques was considered excellent. For instance, Ye Cauldron, Yunxi, and others, their cultivation was extraordinary, but the Great Celestial Immortal Techniques they mastered did not exceed nine types.

This is said to be the ultimate of the Dao, Grotto Heavens are the creation of the human body, but ultimately cannot compare to the universe, unable to exhaust all possibilities.

But now Li An felt that...

The Spells reflected in his Grotto Heaven numbered beyond nine...

The Magic Sleeve of Multiverses, Mountain Moving and Sea Filling, Star Grasping and Moon Seizing, Heavenly Net and Earthly Web, Dimensional Shrinkage, and more are needless to say, even the rare Great Skills of Thunderous Tribulation, Reversal of Yin and Yang, and the Inversion of the Five Elements are all included.

He carefully counted, surprisingly forty-nine kinds!

"Heavenly Dao is fifty, one is lost, leaving the count forty-nine."

He murmured, is this the true ceiling of Celestial Immortals?

Moreover, his mysterious cultivation was also at the level of a Great Celestial Immortal, so he was very aware of other Celestial Techniques. Now, his forty-nine Celestial Techniques were more complete and more terrifying than those of a Great Celestial Immortal.

In the Celestial Immortal realm, he was truly perfect and exhaustive of all possibilities.

"The power of time has reached one million years!"

Li An slightly sensed the Life Seed and was extremely excited in his heart.

His Life Seed absorbed a massive amount of the essence of time, each cluster representing the residual essence of an era, completely absorbed until his Life Seed contained the imprint of a million years of space-time!

This is the true defiance of heaven’s gain, imagine, if in the outside world, how long would it take for Li An to accumulate such vast power?

Even if free from disasters and tribulations and could live peacefully, it would take him a million years!

But now, in this Space-Time Secret Realm, it was so easy.

He instantly sensed this million-year power of time.

If this million-year power of time were to fall, what impact would it have?

A single Spirit Herb could instantly possess ten thousand, or even several hundred thousand years of medicinal age, an Immortal could instantly be cast into the mortal world, losing everything...

At the same time, with Li An bearing the million-year power of time, ordinary disasters and calamities were difficult to befall him, such as in battle, the emergence of temporal power would be an insurmountable chasm, who could harm him?

Even the temporal aspect of heaven and earth was hard to affect him, for example, though others’ Great Celestial Immortals had long lifespans, ultimately life would ebb away with time’s erosion. Typically, living a hundred thousand years was long, but his lifespan was unfathomably long and terrifying, even reaching a million years.

Nothing else, he wore like a temporal armor, isolating the power and influence of time.

This was Li An’s most terrifying power.

In some sense, this surpassed all Great Celestial Immortal Techniques, truly touching upon the forbidden realm of space-time... it could be said, to some extent, Li An had already controlled a portion of the authority of time-space.

However, in the external world due to the current space-time order, it would not allow other powers to disturb the operation of all things, so his power would be discounted, but still an invincible technique.

"This technique readily induces chaos in space-time, contending with heaven and seizing the authority of creation, so once executed, it will inevitably suffer backlash from heaven, endangering oneself."

Li An murmured, in the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill it was clearly recorded in the use of temporal power, while it could protect oneself, it was inherently unstable, and once executed, could cause numerous unpredictable disturbances, thus, even in the Immortal Skill, this was a Forbidden Technique.
