Free Web NovelChapter 711: Chapter 331: Possessing Oneself
This is him deliberately suppressing his speed, not daring to move too fast, for fear of alerting the old man.
The old man brought Li An to the bronze giant lamp and said, "Guard it here. The past rolls on, and perhaps some lights and shadows from the years will finally fall on you... Hmm, that is if you can live until then."
"The fire of ages burns, life is hard to bear... I hope you can live a few more years."
With that, the old man retreated directly.
Li An stayed where he was, motionless, maintaining a wooden state.
Because he found that most of the other lamp keepers were always in this state!
Like withered wood.
"The so-called lamp keeper seems to be a kind of container..."
Li An pondered.
Having entered the Deceit Realm, which is related to the unseen past lives, one would be marked and then sent here. If any creature from the past could fit, it would enter the present world through the lamp keeper?
Judging from the information, it should be like this.
"So be it!"
Li An was reassured, as this way he didn’t have to do anything except wait, and since he wasn’t truly marked, he had no fear of being possessed by alien souls.
In his Dantian, on the branches of his Life Seed, each leaf was currently unfolding, absorbing the vast power of the ages and vitality burning out from the Dao Fruit of the Immortal Dao as if bathed in spring rain.
Normally, Li An could only draw power from the current fleeting years, and his daily cultivation growth was certain and slow, but now, an Immortal Dao Fruit condensed with vast power of ages, burned and erupted with tremendous power, so the life force he absorbed was boundless.
"At this rate, it won’t take many years before I can achieve Perfection in Crossing the Tribulation!"
Li An was extremely excited, thinking he had come to the right place!
With no one around, he quietly took out what the chubby guy had given him to take a look.
It was a golden pearl, clear and translucent, and inside the pearl seemed to be a drop of golden blood. Just as the chubby guy said, it could suppress the mysterious power within him.
Li An thought for a moment and then placed the item into his Spirit Platform to suppress the root in his Primordial Spirit.
After all, he still needed to rely on the chubby guy to enter the Immortal Rejuvenator organization. If the pearl showed no signs of being used, wouldn’t the chubby guy discover his secret?
Playing the part to completion.
...
Time flew by.
In the third year, Li An’s cultivation advanced rapidly, transitioning from the initial stage to the mid-stage of Crossing the Tribulation!
If he hadn’t been guarding the bronze giant lamp, absorbing the power of ages day and night, it would have taken him at least a millennium to reach this stage!
"An Immortal Dao Fruit represents the power of creation repeatedly evolving over countless ages in the Heavenly Court era... Burning it in a short time is truly terrifying."
Li An couldn’t help but feel amazed, but also sighed a bit.
The Immortal Dao Fruits left from the Heavenly Court era, while quite abundant, would ultimately be exhausted if burned like this.
By then, it would certainly be a complete end of the law era, and even if someone wanted to continue on the path of the Immortal Rejuvenator, there would be no resources to support them.
However, he didn’t care whether the world entered the end of the law era.
All he wanted was to advance as much as possible before it began.
On this day, the golden pearl in Li An’s Spirit Platform suddenly flashed.
The voice of Xu Yuan came from it!
"Brother, are you doing well by the bronze lamp? I’ve arrived at the divine descent location... Now using a secret treasure to communicate with you."
Xu Yuan’s voice was very faint and needed careful listening. Li An was taken aback, hurriedly responding, "I’m fine, just guarding this ancient lamp is so boring, and my vitality is fading. I fear I can’t hold on much longer... When can I join the Immortal Rejuvenator?"
Xu Yuan said, "Brother, the golden pearl is a type of spatial spiritual artifact, containing a drop of blood that can prolong your life, but don’t use it now... When your life is nearly exhausted, find a chance to take the Immortal Dao Fruit from the giant lamp and place it inside the pearl, then consume that drop of blood. This way, you’ll be mistaken for a lifeless corpse and thrown out of the divine descent area. I’ll find you then and take you to meet the Immortal Rejuvenator!"
"Brother, I’ll pretend to rush immortality first..."
Xu Yuan’s voice disappeared.
Li An began to reflect, just as he had suspected.
The purpose of the Immortal Rejuvenator is the Immortal Dao Fruit here!
They are well-prepared, evidently very familiar with the divine descent area. The golden pearl was obviously prepared to steal the Immortal Dao Fruit from the giant lamp.
The task should have been Xu Yuan’s? But Li An could stay close to him, and now he just happened to have a chance to enter the divine descent area, so Xu Yuan simply handed it over to Li An, dragging him into the water.
Li An continued his cultivation, having already made plans in his mind!
...
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, thirteen more years passed.
Li An had been a lamp keeper in the divine descent area for twenty-three years!
His appearance became very old, as if all his life force had drained away.
"Cultivation Perfection!"
He felt incredibly pleased in his heart, for now, he had reached Perfection in Crossing the Tribulation and was ready to rush immortality.
Of course, there was no chance on Purple Cloud Mountain, for one, he would be discovered and killed immediately if he attempted the rush in plain sight, and for another, rushing immortality needed a land not tainted by the strange forces of the Heavenly Dao, and such places... only the Immortal Rejuvenator had access to them.
