Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

Chapter 724: Chapter 335: Ascension to Immortality (Part 2)

After all, the greatest advantage of seed characters hunting in secret is that they remain hidden without others knowing. After a breakthrough, others will also retreat to their secluded cultivation places for a long time to consolidate their cultivation level, which allows him to take them down and devour them one by one until they are all killed.

In this way, it’s actually not difficult to break this dangerous situation.

As long as you can interfere with the opponent’s assassination actions, it will do.

...

At this moment.

In a secret chamber within the Phoenix Ancestor Hall.

"This situation, the sacrifice is too great."

The Palace Master, True Alchemist, deeply sighed: "The talents of my Fire Phoenix Palace will be exhausted, and the future will also be cut off..."

Li Nianxue remained silent, her eyes also seemed to carry a trace of reluctance, but a young man in white beside her smiled faintly and said, "Palace Master, you are wrong. Only if I accomplish the Life Seed, we truly have a future!"

This young man in white was one of the prodigies of the Fire Phoenix Palace, named Chi Yilan, with excellent talent and was a Seven-Petaled True Immortal!

The most special thing about him is... he is the most effective practitioner of the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill among the younger generation.

Therefore, he was selected.

The True Alchemist said, "Up to now, to eradicate the strange phenomena, we can only sacrifice others a bit... Forget it, go ahead and do it, I’ll bear the blame."

Chi Yilan said, "Palace Master, rest assured, once I cultivate the Life Seed, I will ensure that the Fire Phoenix Palace thrives eternally, and the Immortal Dao remains unbroken!"

He smiled slightly and looked at Li Nianxue, saying, "Miss Li, after mastering this technique, can I be accepted by the Purple Fairy as a disciple?"

In his eyes, there seemed to be a trace of eagerness.

Li Nianxue said, "The Purple Fairy has only ever accepted one true disciple in her life. Even we only study her skills without an official title."

"She once said that she would only have one disciple in this life, no more."

Chi Yilan was taken aback and said, "I wonder what kind of person that honored disciple of the Purple Fairy is?"

Li Nianxue said, "With intelligence bordering on the supernatural, as resilient as stone, as ruthless as a wolf."

"And of course, the most important thing, being deeply emotional, valuing righteousness, daring to step forward at moments of crisis, with the courage to burn both jade and stone, to fly into the fire like a moth."

Her eyes seemed to recall something, saying, "It’s just a pity, he might no longer be in this world."

...

"Brother Gu, let’s go."

Xu Yuan, after a long retreat, came to invite Li An, and the two of them went to the seclusion place prepared by the Fire Wind Palace together.

The retreat place was the back mountain of the Fire Wind Palace, where the phoenix egg was born in ancient times. Now it truly was an auspicious place, with a myriad of brilliant lights and radiant auras, an extraordinarily remarkable sight.

The Fire Wind Palace’s Palace Master, True Alchemist, the three Grandmasters, and many palace geniuses were all present today.

About forty outstanding talents prepared to make a breakthrough, most of whom were tribulation crossing stage cultivators like Xu Yuan, with only seven or eight reaching the immortal level.

"After entering, find a cave mansion to make a breakthrough. If anyone can nurture the Life Seed, they shall become the Saint Child of the Fire Wind Palace!"

The True Alchemist loudly announced, "Begin—"

Immediately, everyone entered together, with Xu Yuan and a group of "seeds" going in first. After they had gone in, others who were unwilling to give up could also enter for a chance.

Li An went in with this group of people.

"Hmm? Isn’t that Gu Fan? Has he also cultivated the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill?"

The True Alchemist remembered Li An and asked, "He doesn’t have much life left and is of a strange nature. Trying to cultivate a Life Seed is like imagining the impossible, why go in?"

Xu City responded, "Reporting to the Palace Master, this child, though advanced in age and with little time left, has aspirations higher than the sky, hoping to rise in one leap. I have warned him, but he insists on his own way."

Knowing that Li An wanted to enter with Xu Yuan, he had long been aware but chose to ignore it. After all, once Li An went in, he would most likely die, which was also a good thing for him.

In case Li An continued to linger, it would draw others to gossip, questioning their treatment of those who contributed.

The True Alchemist shook his head and said, "Overestimating himself, never mind, let him be!"

He turned to look at Li Nianxue beside him, seemingly with a tinge of worry, but Li Nianxue remained calm and said, "Rest assured."

"He can succeed."

Her words made the True Alchemist nod slowly.

...

The back mountain of the Fire Phoenix Nest, externally just a stretch of wilderness, but inside, it was a different world, a small realm that was vividly fiery in appearance.

Among the undulating mountains, fiery red maple leaves grew everywhere, and on those leaves, an inexplicable flame burned, the land was red as if the dregs poured out from an alchemy furnace, the atmosphere extremely hot.

This was the birthplace of the Phoenix Egg from the Fire Phoenix Nest!

It is said that the phoenixes are innate divine beasts with extremely powerful bloodlines, but as a result, their reproduction is exceedingly difficult. Each time they lay an egg, it causes a heavenly disturbance, anomalies in creation, and even brings forth a creation fetus, clearly this small world was formed then.

The first batch of cultivators entering the place had already flown to different locations to find seclusion, but Xu Yuan hadn’t gone far, awaiting Li An there. He greeted him, "Brother Gu, come with me, you and I can look out for each other nearby."

Li An also nodded and said, "Alright!"

The two went together, with Xu Yuan finding a valley in the small world and Li An a location at the foot of a mountain thousands of miles away.

In the mountain, he carved out a cave mansion, leaving some of his own aura there, and then quickly departed.

He definitely couldn’t stay there to make a breakthrough, to avoid Xu Yuan discovering anything.
