Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant
Chapter 616 - 306: Demonic Temptations (Part 4)
So, Li An left the lid of the magic pot and other Immortal Artifacts as they were, and then put the tooth back into her gum.
Only after closing her mouth did Li An finally feel the greed in his heart dissipate, calming down completely.
"This demonic object is truly terrifying, was I subconsciously almost ensnared by it again?"
Now calm, Li An couldn’t help but feel some apprehension.
After reading Lady Yi’s memory, he understood its demonic nature and had already resolved that the magic pot lid must not be kept.
However, after opening Lady Yi’s tooth and coming into contact with the magic pot lid, greed again appeared in his heart, though not as strongly, it still made him struggle for months!
This object seemed to possess a spirit, continuously and patiently tempting Li An, wanting him to take control of it and become its master...
Thinking of this, Li An became even more determined that he must not touch this thing!
Then, he thought again about his next plan.
Currently, his biggest problem is that his relationship with Lady Yi has been discovered by Yi Lingwei and others, which means he is bound to Lady Yi.
He must find a way to break this bond, otherwise, even after acquiring the Hongmeng Immortal Light later, he will not find peace.
Only by doing this can he, and those related to him, live peacefully.
And the best way to break this bond is to...
Let others... obtain everything on Giant Tomb Island!
If someone obtains the things on Giant Tomb Island and the magic pot lid resurfaces, with a new owner, the world will have no interest in finding Li An, and even Lady Yi will no longer be bothered, as all they desire is this item!
He pondered long and hard, as the plan slowly took shape in his mind...
With everything figured out, Li An finally calmed down, took out two middle grade Anomaly Crystals, and began cultivating.
He had already switched to the mysterious creature form, anomalous power running intensely, placed in his palms with Anomaly Crystals, grayish thick aura flowed along his arm’s meridians into his Dantian, then swiftly absorbed by the anomaly!
After obtaining Lady Yi’s Primordial Spirit power, his anomaly cultivation was already at Mahayana Perfection, almost entering Crossing the Tribulation. Now filled with Anomalous Qi, his realm soared as naturally as rivers flowing!
All Anomaly Crystals on his body appeared around him, supplying the needs for Breaking Realm.
Three days later.
Li An opened his eyes.
There was a hint of surprise on his face.
The whole process... was very smooth.
There were no celestial tribulations or other obstacles, not even needing deep understanding of the Great Dao, everything came naturally, like water streaming, effortlessly.
No wonder, no wonder there are so many experts among the mysterious.
This path... indeed has deadly allure for lower-level cultivators.
Within the Yi Clan, even a gatekeeper like Yi Wei could have mid-stage Refining Void cultivation, but considering his mind and aptitude, it might have been difficult to even establish a Foundation in the Spirit Realm!
"I wonder what the so-called eerie tribulation after becoming immortal actually is..."
Li An was quite curious.
From Lady Yi’s Primordial Spirit, he also gained some understanding, every level increase after becoming immortal will be interrupted by indescribable forces from the void, it’s said that some even witness unimaginable scenes, grand terror, and great weirdness intertwined...
Each person’s eerie tribulation is different.
"Next, I should sacrifice this damn magic pot lid..."
With the lessons from the previous two times, this time, he activated the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill to the utmost, keeping himself always alert!
Now he understood that the intent of this thing seemed to be tempting him into controlling it, becoming its owner...
"Damn lid, you think you can tempt me?"
Li An cursed, if not for its usefulness, he would have liked to throw it into the ocean trench.
Yet, at this moment, he still took a deep breath, and once again removed Lady Yi’s tooth...
...
Meanwhile.
In the Exotic Realm.
In a certain stone cave on a mountain peak of unknown location.
A half-decomposed being stroked a rough sand-gray pot without a lid with its ashen bone hand, its hollow eyes seemed to emit two scorching rays of light...
"Found it, found him, hahaha... Recognize the master, why do you hesitate? Do not hesitate! Take hold of my magic pot lid, take hold of my magic pot lid! Become its master!"
"Years ago, I glimpsed an arc of causation, shooting into the Spirit Realm, setting the stage and waiting painfully for so many years, finally found it, found it!!!"
"Evergreen Immortal Venerable, the tribulation responder you prepared, I shall enjoy first—"
His voice was incredibly sinister, clutching the teapot lid in his hand, he muttered, "Don’t wait anymore, quickly control it, master it, possess it..."
...
Good night.
