Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 261 - 194: Celestial Demon Secret Realm (Long - ) _3
Li An remained vigilant, his Divine Sense fully activated, scanning for any rustle of movement while also deep in thought.
This place is the Celestial Demon Secret Realm, and given the current fervent interest of the Demon Race’s army in this location, its discovery is only a matter of time.
When that time comes, is there a possibility that Li An could be captured and brought here for forced labor?
It’s hard to say...
Thinking of this, he could no longer sit still and immediately began to patrol the area, silently familiarizing himself with the terrain, planning escape routes in his mind, and so on.
However, he did not leave behind any Array, because once this place is discovered, the high ranks of the Demon Race might arrive; if the Array he set up was discovered by such figures, it would be extremely disadvantageous!
After a long time.
He communicated with the Divine Bird and sensed it emerging, immediately feeling relieved and went to meet it.
The Divine Bird flew directly into his embrace, brushing against his hand, then closed its eyes as if it had fallen asleep.
"This... transformation?"
Li An was astonished; he could already sense that the blood within the Divine Bird... had been replaced entirely!
It was now all golden Celestial Demon Treasure Blood. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Do not be fooled by the Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow’s current size, which appeared as small as an ordinary sparrow, but its true form stood more than two meters tall. It seemed to have absorbed about one-third of the blood from that small river!
One-third surely contained the quantity of one or two drops of Celestial Demon Essence Blood.
Primarily, as Shangguan Xiaoxiao mentioned, over time, the blood energy dissipates!
Thus, the Divine Bird fell into slumber, and this process would be very long, but after the transformation, there might be earth-shattering changes.
"Celestial Demon Treasure Blood is indeed a great thing..."
Li An sighed; such Celestial Demon Essence Blood in the outside world could probably be exchanged for a Nascent Soul Pill!
But this thing is also very dangerous!
Extremely dangerous.
Using it himself is fine, but once it is exposed, it will definitely bring a calamity upon him.
After all, it signifies an opportunity for the Divinity Transformation Stage.
No one would speak of reason or morality; once they know he possesses it, whether the Demon Race or human factions, they would directly target him, kill him, and seize the opportunity.
Moreover, the entire blood river had only about three to five drops of Essence Blood’s aura left, and the next portion could not be taken away by him.
"Time to leave－－"
Without hesitation, he meticulously erased all traces of his passage, then reached the spot where he arrived; the Moonlight Passage was still intact, and he leapt into it－－
Within Yunqi Valley, at a pond, Li An emerged from the water.
His body was entirely dry.
He glanced up, noticing the moonlight was about to sink, with dawn approaching.
Li An acted as if nothing had happened, returning to his abode and silently continued his cultivation.
After checking the belongings of the three True Core cultivators, there wasn’t much of value; most were just Rank Three Talismans and Magical Artifacts, with a total value equivalent to over six hundred Upper Grade Spirit Stones.
Not a small gain.
...
In the blink of an eye, six months passed.
During these six months, there were two more occasions when the full moon caused disturbances in the pond.
However, Li An did not enter the Celestial Demon Secret Realm again.
In the meantime, he went out twice, delivering the Jade Skin Pill refined for Shee Anqi, and also reported the investigation of the Celestial Demon Secret Realm to Xiaoli.
To avoid arousing suspicion.
This day, as Li An was cultivating within Yunqi Valley, Shee Anqi’s voice suddenly sounded from outside the valley.
"Friend Lin, come out quickly－－"
Li An immediately stepped out.
He saw Shee Anqi, wearing a veil that only revealed her eyes, clearly indicating she had not yet fully recovered and was not convenient to show herself.
"Friend Shee, have you recovered? That’s wonderful." Li An was quite pleased.
But Shee Anqi replied, "Thank you for your concern, friend. This time, I’ve come because of a command from Mountain Master Bai, where everyone is to gather... Zhou Libai’s side has discovered the entrance to the Celestial Demon Secret Realm!"
At these words, Li An was immediately taken aback.
...
