Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

Chapter 641: Chapter 313: Tempting Bait to Catch a Big Fish

Li An had left the Exotic Realm a millennium ago. The Mangya Mountain had drastically changed compared to when he left, now resembling a forbidden land. Toxic miasma, formed from countless Immortal-level corpses over the ages, lingered around the mountain forest, and with numerous arrays, outsiders found it nearly impossible to enter.

Li An’s proficiency in arrays had significantly improved, allowing him to faintly sense that the fortune of Mangya Mountain had somewhat altered.

Clearly, Yi Lingwei held this place in high regard and must have engaged the expertise of array masters.

Li An loitered at the foot of the mountain only briefly before Yi Lingwei had already dispatched Yi Lingxue to fetch him.

"I thought something had happened to you. You finally returned."

With Yi Lingxue leading him into the mountain, after entering, Li An gained a deeper understanding of the terrain, becoming increasingly convinced that the Immortal Attraction Platform must be built on the Cang Mang Valley side, due to the most intense and indistinct changes in the fortune there!

Not long after, they entered the stone palace within Mangya Mountain, where Yi Lingwei also personally arrived.

A millennium since they last met, she remained as she was back then, in dignified court attire, her face veiled with white, concealing her beautiful visage, revealing only a pair of enchanting eyes.

Li An couldn’t help but speculate that Yi Lingwei’s unnamable ailment had likely worsened, thus unwilling to be seen by others.

In fact, observing closely, even Yi Lingxue now had a gentle little flower tattooed on her neck, just like Yi Lingwei when he first met her.

Yi Lingwei had formally become an Immortal, having evidently suffered a strange calamity!

"When you left, I gave you two tasks, it took you a thousand years to complete them. Were they that challenging?"

Yi Lingwei’s cold and elegant voice sounded, with a tone of considerable reproach. freewёbnoνel.com

Li An bowed and said, "Reporting to my lady, those two tasks were completed long ago, but the lady needed to undergo blood rebirth, so she instructed me to do many things on her behalf, leading to the prolonged delay... I beg for your forgiveness!"

"Oh?"

Yi Lingwei’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, "My grandmother’s blood rebirth?"

Li An replied, "Not yet successful, but it has reached a critical moment..."

Yi Lingwei said, "Explain everything that happened in these thousand years, leave nothing out."

Li An immediately reported.

In his account, after leaving the Exotic Realm, he went directly to the Seventh-class Sea Region, returned to Giant Tomb Island, met Lady Yi, and reported everything Yi Lingwei had instructed.

Lady Yi asked for his assistance in finding blood food, saying she wanted to attempt blood and flesh reconstruction first. Li An originally brought a lot of Immortal flesh from Mangya Mountain, but Lady Yi refused to use it. So he sought out and acted on Nanfu Island, killing countless Spirit Realm geniuses to gather enough blood food for Lady Yi.

Lady Yi then focused on attempting blood and flesh reconstruction, but the method proved too challenging, showing little progress over time.

A thousand years passed, and Lady Yi reached a critical moment just as the third great change in the world was imminent, with the Heavenly Dao of the Spirit Realm about to break. Thus, she asked Li An to return to the Eleven Heavens and bring a strand of her Primordial Spirit—

Once Li An finished speaking, he immediately presented two Jade Talismans!

"One of these Jade Talismans contains the lady’s Primordial Spirit, but as for what the other Jade Talisman contains, I don’t know. The lady only said to give it to you, and you would naturally understand."

Yi Lingwei’s eyes carried an extreme gravity, with a wave of her sleeve, the two Jade Talismans floated into her hand. Sweeping them with her Divine Thought, she perceived a trace of Primordial Spirit power in the first Jade Talisman, confirming that it indeed belonged to her grandmother, Lady Yi, as the life essence unmistakably ran in their bloodline, impossible to fake!

The other Jade Talisman was inscribed with the Yi Clan’s secret symbols, incomprehensible to outsiders, and incredibly, contained...

Supreme Celestial Demon Skill!

Though her cultivation had reached the realm of a Profound Immortal, having encountered much within the Yi Clan, her breathing involuntarily quickened slightly, continuously reading the joy within the talisman.

The stone palace was extraordinarily quiet, with Li An silent, and Yi Lingxue, observing her sister’s expression, also full of anticipation.

After a long, long time.

"Indeed, no mistake!"

Yi Lingwei slowly uttered. freewebnσvel.cѳm

She thoroughly scrutinized the Supreme Celestial Demon Skill; although evidently incomplete, it was undeniably not false.

Many of her concerns were immediately dispelled.

Firstly, the lid of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot, as rumored to be, was indeed in her grandmother’s possession!

Though it was a rumor in the world back then, hardly anyone could confirm it, merely that Lady Yi was the prime suspect.

Secondly, this Li An, evidently without issues, trustworthy.

Her grandmother had already received the secret message she sent and had offered the exotic demon source to the Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot. The Supreme Celestial Demon Skill, written in the clan’s secret language and brought back by Li An, was the best proof.

She had prepared for the possibility that if Li An couldn’t produce the corresponding item, it would indicate his meddling, that he hadn’t delivered the exotic demon source to Lady Yi, or had embezzled the Demon Skill, and should be executed!

"Well done."

She said to Li An lightly.

This signified her blame and suspicion toward Li An had dissipated.

Li An seized the opportunity to say, "Reporting to my lady, the lady entrusted me with another task."

"Speak."

Li An said, "After my last action, many beings from the Eleven Heavens appeared over the Southern Sea, all seeking the lady. The Giant Tomb Island is now very dangerous, especially with the Gong Clan, who have recently increased their presence in the Seventh-class Sea Region, possibly having caught wind of something..."
