Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

Chapter 157: Core Formation Plans


Spirit Realm!

This term, Li An had already heard of in his past life.

It is said that the Spirit Realm stands above all realms, possessing the true opportunity to attain immortality, and is the holy land of cultivation in the hearts of cultivators across all realms!

It can be said that entering the Spirit Realm brings one closer to immortality.

The Shangguan sisters, Shengxian and Xiaoxiao, actually come from the Spirit Realm, how could this not astonish him?

"Indeed, my sister and I are from the 'Celestial Demon Sect' of the Spirit Realm. Years ago, our sect was annihilated, and my sister and I were forced to flee everywhere..."

"The Yin Yang Demon Sect in this Emperor Origin Realm is merely a small branch we left in the lower realm."

Xiao Xiao spoke calmly.

Li An basically understood.

The Celestial Demon Sect in the Spirit Realm suffered a great calamity, and Shangguan Shengxian and Shangguan Xiaoxiao came to the Emperor Origin Realm to escape the disaster.

However, the two sisters do not get along and constantly fight with each other.

Thus, the great disaster in the Northern Border occurred.

King Jingbei, White Tiger Master, Profound Yang Sect... even Li An are nothing but pawns and sacrifices in the sisters' duel.

Li An continued to ask, "How can we communicate with the Spirit Realm?"

The frail girl said, "There are special connecting passages between the Spirit Realm and many lower realms, but they only open once every thousand years, and only true experts can sense them... you aren't qualified."

"What about you?"

"My Primordial Spirit essence was destroyed by my sister. My current strength isn't even as good as yours."

Li An initially wanted to communicate with the Spirit Realm to broadcast the news of Shangguan Shengxian being here!

After all, since someone hunted her down in the past, it means she has many enemies in the Spirit Realm.

At this point, this plan seems temporarily unreachable.

"Why did you come to the Emperor Origin Realm?"

"To find something."

"What thing?"

"Something very important... but whether it is in this realm is still uncertain. However, I can tell you, even though my sister didn't obtain your body, she has occupied my body, enough to exert significant strength. To find that thing, she will certainly unify the Emperor Origin Realm, which isn't difficult for her."

The frail girl looked at Li An, "Moreover, she certainly won't spare you. A natural Demon Body, even in the Spirit Realm, is extremely rare. You are her best choice."

Li An's heart sank slightly.

Doesn't this mean he has to live in constant fear in this Emperor Origin Realm?

"I can help you."

The frail girl continued.

As soon as she finished speaking, Li An's Primordial Spirit suddenly struck, gripping her throat!

He began circulating Demon Skills wildly!

Li An prepared to directly... refine her!

The Demon Skills circulated, Divine Sense surged!

Even if Shangguan Xiaoxiao had been powerful before, now she was only a weak leftover Primordial Spirit, not a match for Li An.

Refining her wasn't difficult.

Shangguan Xiaoxiao was tightly held by Li An's Primordial Spirit, but her eyes remained calm, even mocking.

"Refine me, and you'll gain nothing,"

The Primordial Spirit voice echoed, "If I am refined, all memories will turn to void, and you can only absorb my weak Soul Power."

"When that time comes, what will you use to face my sister?"

"Even if you have a natural Demon Body, before you grow, facing her only leads to death!"

Li An remained indifferent, continuing to circulate the Demon Skills.

Her Primordial Spirit gradually became illusory, almost truly being entirely refined by Li An!

Despite this, her eyes stayed just as mocking, without the slightest panic!

Ultimately, Li An stopped.

Because he felt, when he was about to completely refine and absorb her, many soul light substances within Shangguan Xiaoxiao's Primordial Spirit were on the verge of destruction.

It seems she had some kind of Secret Technique to ensure she wouldn't be Soul Searched, and her memories couldn't be accessed.

Then refining her is indeed meaningless.

"Smart man,"

Shangguan Xiaoxiao weakly smiled, "With my help, plus your talent and cautiousness, contending with my sister, even killing her to avenge your confidante, is not impossible!"

Li An merely closed the Spirit Platform dryly.

...

Slowly opened his eyes.

Shangguan Xiaoxiao couldn't be killed, not yet. With her around, when Li An truly faced the threat of Shangguan Shengxian, she would not stand by, which was beneficial to Li An.

But as for dealing with Shangguan Shengxian and avenging? Even killing her?

Of course, Li An thought of it, but he also knew well that his strength couldn't support his ambitions and desires.

The gap between them was too vast, like a chasm!

To catch up with her cultivation level, in a short time, Li An had no hope.

If so, it's better to leave, find a place for quiet cultivation, and wait until he has absolute strength to take revenge.

Even after the battle in Celestial Yang City... but Li An's mindset remained unchanged.

Never act rashly!

Life Nourishing Immortal Skill was his greatest reliance, enduring with time, if ten years weren't enough, then a hundred, and a thousand if needed, if a thousand years don't cut it...

Gentlemanly vengeance is never too late with millennium waiting!

The only regret was Gu Hong.

But in reality, during this battle, he had treated Gu Hong with utmost sincerity, sparing none, telling her the chance to escape, and even giving her a life-saving Talisman.

Ultimately, he still owed her a life-saving grace.

The person is gone, even if Li An perhaps once felt a genuine flicker of emotions, it faded away in twenty-two years of bitter waiting.

The cultivation realm is just like this; one must learn to forget, to be cold.

Li An had long been accustomed to this.

Currently, the most urgent matter in Li An's heart is Core Formation, to enhance his own strength!

After all, if what Shangguan Xiaoxiao said was true, Shangguan Shengxian might even unify the Emperor Origin Realm next.

Recalling Shangguan Shengxian's divine power of freezing an entire city with a single thought, Li An felt it's not impossible for her.

"Core Formation!"

Li An's heart was resolute.

His cultivation had reached Foundation Establishment Perfection, preparing for Core Formation was urgent and pressing.

The top-grade Primordial Spirit Pill was still in White Tiger City, and he certainly couldn't go back for now.

He planned to wait three to fifty years more before slowly retrieving it.

Anyway, the mysterious Demonic Qi is no longer in his body, making it hard for them to track or discover his whereabouts.

Currently, pills and cultivation aren't lacking.

What he lacks is a suitable place to retreat for Core Formation!

"Rank Three Spirit Vein..."

This is critical!

Without the support of Rank Three Spirit Vein, Core Formation is just empty talk.

However, any spirit vein Rank Three and above is mostly occupied by great powers.

For instance, in the Northern Territory of the Great Li Dynasty, the only complete Rank Three Spirit Veins should be in the Divine Sword Sect and Hundred Beasts Sect...

But Li An did not plan to find a place for Core Formation within the Great Li Dynasty.

He had to look "abroad."

After all, within the Great Li Dynasty, it's too easy for Shangguan Shengxian to discover him.

"Yan Country."

The nearest to the Great Li Dynasty, and, Yan Country's strength is also very strong.

From the Northern Border, it connects to Yan Country's Qing Province.

"First, stabilize for a while,"

he wasn't in a hurry, keeping an eye on his puppet Zhao Yi!

He urgently needed an identity, a foothold.

On one hand, reaching out to Yan Country, understanding the situation, while awaiting the chance to retrieve his top-grade Primordial Spirit Pill.

And Zhao Yi, as a bandit leader, was quite suitable.

He planned to replace Zhao Yi and control this stronghold himself.

In this way, no one would doubt his identity, and making contact with Yan Country through this identity would also be appropriate.

Afterward, Li An spent another half-year observing, confirming his puppet was normal, without danger.

"Almost reaching mid-stage Foundation Establishment, it seems this Zhao Yi also had some opportunity..."

Li An was somewhat surprised that this puppet's development was impressive too.

On this day, he quietly sneaked into Zhao Yi's "Qingfeng Stronghold."

Zhao Yi had already entered a retreat area, aiming to reach mid-stage Foundation Establishment!

He infiltrated without a trace, avoiding the array, and then pushed the door open directly...

Inside the stone chamber, Zhao Yi, who was charging towards mid-stage Foundation Establishment, suddenly opened his eyes, a bit surprised, instinctively trying to resist...

But Li An's eyes had already lit up with black light!

The Demon Skills circulated!

Zhao Yi's gaze met Li An's, and he immediately trembled, his face turning extremely pale...
