Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant
Chapter 573 - 295: Mahayana Carefree Travel (Extended - )
Yun Qian attains True Immortal status!
So-called immortals are divided into three tiers: Corpse Dissolving Immortals, Earth Immortals, and True Immortals, with Corpse Dissolving Immortals being the lowest. Their primordial spirit becomes immortal, while their bodies turn to dry bones, thus the Immortal Dao is incomplete.
Earth Immortals are better than Corpse Dissolving Immortals, considered a complete Dao Fruit.
But the strongest is still the True Immortal!
Earth Immortals still have to endure many tribulations before possibly becoming True Immortals, while True Immortals can directly glimpse higher Dao Fruits, shelter a domain, receive faith and cultivation from others, and have endless wondrous uses.
As for the Spirit Realm... throughout ancient times, those who attain True Immortal status are exceedingly rare!
Therefore, Yun Qian becoming a True Immortal drove the world mad.
Many geniuses rushed to throw themselves into mysteries, hoping to follow in her footsteps...
Besides Yun Qian, there were other strong ones attaining immortality.
Helian Tuxian and Su Yebai attained Earth Immortal status, Fen Sihai became a Corpse Dissolving Immortal, and two Quasi-Arhats from the Brahma Sect achieved true Arhat form...
These three years, New Continent was silent, the world in turmoil.
In these three years, talents emerged in great numbers, immortals appeared without end.
After three years, the grand array that Dao Sect’s high level tried hard to maintain finally collapsed one after another, and the storm in the Southern Sea slowly retreated.
There’s still a long time until the second great upheaval, and Dao Sect only managed to draw part of the storm.
The tide sweeping across New Continent also receded, making the New Continent a place of cultivation blessings once again.
During these three years, Dao Sect became the biggest winner!
Out of one hundred and eight main peaks, among the fourth generation of talents, eleven immortals appeared!
Among them was a supreme powerhouse—Yun Qian!
A True Immortal!
Now, Dao Sect’s strength is truly invincible.
Although the tide has receded, Nanfu Island remains bustling as it’s a trial ground. After three years of storm ravaging, it left behind many mysterious substances, and Dao Sect’s high level intentionally left some mysterious creatures as the best trial site for the younger generation.
...
As Li An expected, Shangguan Shengxian and Shangguan Xiaoxiao eventually withdrew; they didn’t become immortals but didn’t die either, currently missing.
Regarding the death of Li Yunxiao, Tianchenzi once angrily demanded an investigation, but it ended in nothing.
After all, even Li Yunxiao’s remains are missing, while Tan Qingxue, although luckily survived, suffered severe damage to her primordial spirit, allegedly losing all memories, with the intelligence of only a seven or eight-year-old child.
No way to start an investigation.
Li An felt some regret, he wanted to solve the aftermath once and for all, but unfortunately, after missing a strike, he lost the opportunity, having to leave it for later.
Would they trace him through Tan Qingxue? Li An wasn’t worried, firstly because he didn’t act as himself, and secondly because he had an alibi.
——The Immortal Light left by Withered Fate on him as protection.
After all, if Li An left his closed cultivation site, Withered Fate would sense it.
Three years, Li An finally attained Perfection in Harmonization Dao, ready to break through to Mahayana.
"Old Turtle, come, drink, goddamn drink!"
On a small island outside Nanfu Island, Li An, Xiang Yuntian, and Gu Canye were drinking heartily.
They missed the three years of immortality ceremonies.
Gu Canye was because he woke up late, his cultivation far from touching immortality, while Xiang Yuntian voluntarily gave up, not attending since neither Li An nor Gu Canye reached immortality.
"The sect rankings are set, there will be a second great upheaval, and it might be more disastrous than the first..."
They shared some news.
"Dao Sect has already decided to send people into the depths of the Southern Sea for investigation, cannot sit and wait for death, preparing to take the initiative."
"Many people will head to the Southern Sea soon, we also have to set out."
"Additionally, it’s reported that those possessing mysterious Dao Marks, the Shangguan sisters, the Evil King, the Spiritual Parrot, etc., have all entered the depths of the Southern Sea... something big is likely to happen there."
The Dao Sect has grand ambitions!
After drinking, they agreed to pursue immortality together.
Li An asked, what if he could never become immortal in his lifetime?
Xiang Yuntian and Gu Canye laughed heartily, then replied, "Then we’ll stay with you till death, after you die of old age, then we’ll strive for immortality."
...
After staying on the island for another year, Li An reported to the sect, hoping to venture into the depths of the Southern Sea.
He needed to find a place to break through to Mahayana, staying on Nanfu Island wouldn’t work.
Furthermore, as he anticipated, after the immortality ceremony, Nanfu Island became a Holy Land, now a hub for talent flow, he would soon start reaping the island’s talents!
Leaving early can reduce suspicion.
He also needed to visit Lady Yi once, since last meeting, Lady Yi gave him more time, but the dead fetus continued to slowly absorb his alien aura.
His application went through without much effort.
Now Li An in Dao Sect isn’t very noticeable, regarded poorly among the fourth generation, others viewed his application to the Southern Sea as a desperate gamble.
Re-entering the Southern Sea, the salty sea breeze greeted him, with sunlight shining and seagulls flying over the sea, it was refreshing.
Dao Sect’s requirements for disciples exploring the Southern Sea were simple, just needed to periodically submit some intelligence.
Dao Sect also dispatched Immortal Level protection along the Southern Sea line; if major events occurred, they could directly call for Immortal assistance.
Hence, Li An was quite free.
