Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

Chapter 670: Chapter 320: Defecting to the Enemy (Part 2)

"Congratulations, Master, with this item, you can resist the strange tribulation and achieve the Taiyi Fruit Position. From now on, a new master shall establish on Purple Cloud Mountain!"

Yuan Province spoke with a face full of respect!

Su Yebai also followed with a salute.

Leng Rufeng smiled slightly. He had searched tirelessly because he once heard a Daluo Golden Immortal from the Dao Sect say that whoever obtains the Dao Sect’s foundational treasure can resist all Heart Demons and tribulations in the world. He had been stuck at the Golden Immortal level for a long time, wanting to take a step forward to achieve Taiyi, but the risks of the strange tribulation were truly too high, often ineffable, losing one’s true self.

If this item really worked, he would be able to leap into the ranks of Taiyi, and perhaps, in the future, Purple Cloud Mountain would truly fall into his hands.

His mind couldn’t help but grow slightly tense and solemn, and he immediately began to operate the Dao Sect’s Profound Skill.

He had been a Mysterious Creature for a long time, having abandoned the Dao Sect’s Cultivation Technique long ago. Now operating it again, he seemed somewhat rusty, but with one hand holding the Daoist Sect Leader’s Order to aid his mana, the seal that had existed on the black stone box for who knows how many years slowly dissolved, and soon it was no more.

He gently opened the black stone box, and at the same time, a thick gray mist inexplicably appeared from his body, enveloping him entirely!

He was very cautious, ready to disappear and flee at any moment.

Seeing this, Yuan Province, Su Yebai, and the others couldn’t help but each take a step back, prepared to withdraw.

However, when the lid of the stone box was opened, there was no abnormality. It was as quiet as death. Everyone waited intently, but they only saw a look of astonishment flash across Leng Rufeng’s face, followed by a trace of complexity, and then he began to laugh heartily.

"Hahaha... so that’s how it is, so that’s how it is!"

As he spoke, he crushed the stone box to pieces! frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

The stone box turned to powder, scattering down from his hand, leaving Li An and the others dumbfounded.

"Master, what... what is going on?"

Yuan Province hastily inquired.

"Do you know what was inside this stone box?"

Leng Rufeng spoke, his eyes seemingly flashing with a hint of bitterness, but it quickly turned into a look of self-mockery: "Only eight characters!"

"Follow the will of heaven, act against the trend!"

"Follow the will of heaven, act against the trend!"

He repeated it once, "What a Daluo Golden Immortal, what a Dao Sect, what a ’follow the will of heaven, act against the trend’!"

Yuan Province and the others were all shocked beyond measure.

In the rumors, the foundational treasure of the Dao Sect turned out to be just these eight characters...

"It’s a trap, this is a trap!"

Realizing it, Yuan Province immediately spoke.

But Su Yebai and Li An remained silent, both of them were from the Dao Sect, having a deeper insight and understanding of the Dao Sect, and the so-called treasure of the Dao Sect... perhaps, it really was just these eight characters.

"It can’t be fake."

Leng Rufeng also shook his head, saying, "This was the seal of the founder of the Dao Sect, and that Daluo Golden Immortal wasn’t wrong either, haha, none of those people in the Dao Sect have ever been trapped by Heart Demons or strange tribulations, ultimately, it’s indeed the reasoning of those eight characters. Such a pity, such a pity..."

What he was pitying was unknown, but he adjusted his state very quickly, returning to normal in the blink of an eye, no longer dwelling on the matter, instead looking at Li An, saying, "Kid, should have already known about this?"

Li An immediately bowed and said, "Reporting to the senior, when I dismembered Taiqingzi, I extracted this Dao Sect Token from his heart, and on the token, there was still a strand of Taiqingzi’s Primordial Spirit. Having cultivated the Demon Sect’s skills, I refined it, and knew, knew of this matter..."

"Audacious! You already knew, yet only speak now?!"

Yuan Province was immediately furious.

Li An said, "Reporting to the lord, this space would need about two hundred years to manifest. I thought at the time, saying it in advance would be of no use, so I kept observing..."

He appeared somewhat apprehensive and fearful.

Yuan Province wanted to inquire further, but Leng Rufeng already waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, having such temperament, until today, shows he is indeed someone capable of endurance. Speak, what do you want?"

Li An directly made a grand gesture, gritting his teeth and said, "Junior wishes to apprentice under the senior!"

Leng Rufeng said, "As a person from the Demon Sect, do you know, the Demon Sect is notorious even in the eleven heavens, especially that Heaven-Devouring Old Demon, infamous..."

"No matter what law, as long as it can make oneself strong, it is a good law! But, if the master is displeased, the disciple is willing to abolish the Demon Skill himself!"

A trace of satisfaction flashed in Leng Rufeng’s eyes, he nodded and said, "Very well, since that’s the case, I will accept you as a nominal disciple, and depending on your future conduct, I will truly admit you into the sect!"

"Pack up and follow me back to Purple Cloud Mountain!"

Upon hearing this, Li An expressed countless thanks!

...

The news that Li An had been favored by Leng Rufeng and accepted as a disciple spread, astonishing everyone in the Gong Clan’s land.

"What? Gu Fan..."

"Wasn’t he an honored guest elder of our Gong Clan? How did he suddenly establish a connection with Purple Cloud Mountain..."

"Over the years, our Gong Clan has often gone through much hardship to select a few people to enter Purple Cloud Mountain for cultivation. The performance of the clan’s disciples over there often influences the rise and fall of our clan, but now, an outsider has somehow entered..."

There was a lot of discussion!

"This Gu Fan..."

Gong Shanye’s face was displeased, saying, "I truly didn’t expect he would have a day of Dragon Transformation!"

Beside him, an elder shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Shanye, making an enemy of this person, I’m afraid... was truly a miscalculation!"

Gong Shanye said, "What should we do now..."

"What can we do? Go see him off! If we can salvage some relations, then salvage some..."
