Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

Chapter 702 - 329: Summoning Demons

Li An’s hair stood on end, feeling an extreme terror in his heart, cold sweat already breaking out, but he forcibly controlled his emotions and calmly observed everything.Something’s not right.

According to various records, cultivators passing by Hundred Battle City might get eroded by the city’s phantoms, leading to failure in Crossing the Tribulation, but there’s never been a record stating that the beings in it would talk and communicate with those undergoing the tribulation.

The blurry faces around were staring at Li An, and from their bodies, inexplicable forces descended instantaneously, causing Li An’s blood and vitality to tremble slightly.

But the veil of time shrouded Li An, preventing him from being eroded by the past.

"No, it’s not him..."

After a long time, a whisper sounded, "It’s just similar. That person has long passed."

"Cold and heartless like that person back then..."

"Hehe, another Supreme forgetful person..."

The faces surrounding Li An, after confirming he was not someone they recognized, lost interest and gradually retreated.

"Go back, there’s no point in moving forward."

"There’s still time to turn back."

"The celestial path is long and distant, it’s better to look back at the mundane world..."

The faces seemed to be giving Li An advice as well.

But Li An couldn’t listen anymore, and while they disappeared, he hurriedly proceeded forward.

After passing through Hundred Battle City, the phantom buildings and blurred crowd vanished, and he once again saw the statue holding a warhammer.

The celestial path was densely covered with countless roots, leading to the statue.

All kinds of Immortal Light were dancing.

The blood and vitality in Li An’s body began to drain, the Profound Light Pill was taking effect, Li An shrouded himself with the veil of time, and began his breakthrough--

...

Three months later.

On the second level of the Godly Land, Li An finally awakened.

"Profound Immortal achieved!"

He opened his eyes, sensing the change in his cultivation level, feeling quite delighted.

Within his Dantian, a mysterious seven-colored celestial qi was continuously being generated, nourishing his entire body, making his vital energies more subtle, rendering him ethereal.

The so-called Profound Immortal pursues the "Two Qi Fusion."

"Three Flowers Gathering at the Top" is called Immortal, "Two Qi Fusion" is called Profound, forming a Grotto Heaven is Celestial Immortal, indestructible body is Golden Immortal, creation in obscurity is Taiyi, recreating the heavens and earth is Daluo!

The so-called Two Qi Fusion is refining Yin and Yang Qi within the body, making them circulate within, preventing the body from being burdened by external Yin and Yang.

At the Celestial Immortal stage, it requires guiding Yin and Yang Qi to open a self-contained Grotto Heaven, which can accommodate various Spiritual Qi in heaven and earth. If fate is sufficient, obtaining great essence and fortune, one can be immortal, hence called Celestial Immortal.

Golden Immortal is even more difficult, needing to refine the body to be as indestructible as Vajra on the basis of Celestial Immortal, hard to destroy by five elements, unmovable by Yin and Yang. Recorded bodies of Golden Immortals can match the barriers of a world, seeing one aspect.

Taiyi Golden Immortal requires comprehending the principle of creation, understanding the obscure path of all things, an extremely hard step to achieve.

The legendary Daluo is transcendent, even capable of transforming into a world, such figures, whether in the former Celestial Palace era or today’s strange world, are sect leaders and ancestral figures, with uninterrupted traditions. In the vast infinite eleven heavens, there are no more than 20 named Daluo Golden Immortals, none of whom aren’t Source Land or Celestial Palace masters!

Beyond that, is the hard-to-contemplate Immortal Venerable.

"Seven-colored qi is also an extreme number!"

Just as Immortals have the saying of True Immortal, Profound Immortals also vary in rank, distinguished by the color of the refined Yin and Yang Qi.

Generally speaking, Yin and Yang Qi should reach at least three kinds, as the saying goes, Heaven, Earth, and Humanity are the foundation, and the more colors, the greater the future potential.

Four as four symbols, five as five elements, six as six lines, seven as seven extremes.

So, similar to the Seven-Petaled True Immortal in the Immortal stage, in the Profound Immortal stage, they can be divided into Three Talent Profound Immortal, Four Symbol Profound Immortal, Five Element Profound Immortal, etc. Generally, Five Element Profound Immortals are considered true peerless geniuses, and Six Line Immortals, Seven Extreme Immortals, are still legendary taboo numbers.

Li An is very satisfied with this!

"However, in Hundred Battle City, the many faces said I resemble someone..."

Looking back now is still chilling.

Those faces were unusually abnormal.

Could it be, someone who looked a lot like me once passed through the Deceit Realm?

"No, the person they mentioned shouldn’t be a latter-day cultivator!"

According to chubby Xu Yuan, the Deceit Realm is an ancient, vanished time-space, so those faces should belong to beings from that ancient time-space, the person they knew... should also belong to that space!

In the current thirty-three heavens, all from the Era of the Strange are newcomers and they couldn’t have known them.

How could Li An resemble an existence from a bygone era?

He didn’t know.

This feeling made him uneasy, but now his level is still low, and he had no way to explore, so he could only grit his teeth and continue forward.

He decided not to think about it anymore, instead, concentrating on the Spirit Platform.

"Indeed, I brought the root out!"

Within his Spirit Platform, there was indeed a gray root, which he had bound with the power of time.

Some cultivators, due to some mysterious connection with the past, are marked by the roots on the celestial path. When the indescribable moment comes, they won’t die and will be chosen to serve the giant bronze lamp.

Before exiting the Deceit Realm, Li An tried boldly, indeed tearing off a piece of root.
