Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

Chapter 877: Chapter 387: Rebirth (Part 2)

After a very long time, Li An finally opened his eyes.

His eyes were as bright and clear as stars, more charming than a baby’s, as if they had never been polluted.

"...Greetings, senior..."

A somewhat dull and frightened female voice came through, Li An looked indifferently at the white crow in front of him, somewhat surprised.

"Nourished by some overflowing air, it seems to have such fortune."

Li An gently stroked the white crow’s head and said, "Rare, indeed rare..."

The white crow felt joy in her heart; this senior seemed to harbor no malice towards her. She was about to say something when suddenly she felt a sharp pain, her head already twisted off by Li An!

Li An picked up the bird’s corpse and sucked all the bird blood dry. In the blink of an eye, the white crow that had undergone miraculous transformation in twenty years under his influence had become a dead body.

Li An’s expression remained indifferent; this bird absorbed longevity fortune, even if just a faint trace, it was a forbidden object!

Letting it live would be a hidden danger!

So, killing it was the only choice.

If there’s anyone to blame, it would be her for touching something that didn’t belong to her.

The hot, fishy bird blood in his throat made Li An regain a trace of the sensation of being alive. He stood up, stretched his body, and let out a long breath.

"With longevity origin, forcibly condensing the air of the age, to form my body... This body’s constitution, compared to my original form, is already extraordinary, even without the Life Seed, it far surpasses before."

He sensed silently; in his Dantian, there was unexpectedly a small grinding disc!

That circular grinding disc looked like a Taiji Dao Map, formed by black and white air, absorbing the faint eerie air in the atmosphere inch by inch, grinding it into some substance, then absorbing it.

As the grinding disc grew, Li An’s cultivation advanced accordingly.

"The balance of life and death, is it like this?"

Li An pondered; for many years, he pondered the Longevity Skill on Bone Transformation Mountain, achieving understanding, which was one of the reasons he dared to venture into the present world with the body of a Deceased Spirit.

Now it indeed succeeded.

The grinding disc within his body had reached a certain balance, able to absorb the eerie air and the orthodox celestial air, with both balancing, his body would remain uncorrupted, and his life cultivation would grow!

His constitution now could perhaps be called a Longevity Dao Body!

In reality, although no direct fortune was left for Li An on Bone Transformation Mountain, the few words spoken by the Longevity Seeker regarding longevity were the essence of the Great Dao, which Li An remembered in his heart, coupled with understanding, could achieve today.

The Longevity Seeker could be said to be the true guide for Li An.

The balance of life and death is longevity!

However, Li An currently is only in the preliminary form and certainly needs to cultivate continuously; this is merely a rehearsal for longevity, and one day when the white mist origin is gathered, using the entire space-time as a sacrifice, he can truly obtain the mantle of longevity.

"When my cultivation reaches its peak, even Evergreen Immortal Venerable and Yunluo Immortal Venerable, their constitution and Great Dao will surely not compare to mine!"

Li An was highly confident because he possessed the balance grinding disc within his body, able to condense the Longevity Dao Body, thanks to having genuinely died once.

The white mist origin allowed him to grasp the balance between life and death.

But Evergreen Immortal Venerable and Yunluo Immortal Venerable, even if they gained the white mist origin, wouldn’t know that this method could condense the Longevity Dao Body, and even if they speculated, wouldn’t dare take the risk.

Because the current two Immortal Venerables, in a certain sense, have become each other’s premier foes. Any change in their state, presenting a flaw, would invite the other’s frenzied assault.

"My cultivation now... does need to start from scratch."

"But the body... should now be equivalent to a Golden Immortal body, comparable to a Taiyi Golden Immortal, certainly no less!"

Li An’s heart was complex.

In the past, his cultivation had reached the completion of the Great Celestial Immortal realm, the Life Seed accumulating power for a million years, truly rare. But Evergreen Immortal Venerable sacrificed him, the cultivation, life, Life Seed... all ceased to exist.

Besides, if not for the Longevity Seeker treating him as another pawn, acting on him in advance, he wouldn’t have a second chance.

However, he wasn’t dejected.

Now, he has more potential than ever, not only is the body strong, but merely the method of cultivating the balance of life and death far surpasses the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill, and the Great Skills he can evolve between life and death grinding disc will be far superior to the various Great Celestial Immortal Techniques before.

Li An walked out of the cave, found a stream in the forest, washed in the waterfall pool, felt the pleasure brought by the icy stream, took the opportunity to cook and eat the two mating crocodiles in the pool, skinned them to make shoes, then hunted a deer, used the beast skin to make clothes to avoid nakedness, then went down the mountain.

Although he had no cultivation to utilize, even if a Celestial Immortal practitioner came, they wouldn’t be able to harm him with Divine Weapons.

He roamed unrestrainedly within the forest. On the second day, he encountered a Saber-toothed Tiger with Nascent Soul cultivation that intended to devour him, yet when it bit Li An, its steel-like fangs shattered, even its skull cracked.

Leaping down a cliff thousands of feet high casually posed no issues; when encountering obstacles without a path, he split mountains, rocks, and giant trees with his hands effortlessly.

Three days later, Li An entered a small town, sold the tiger skin, tiger bones, and other materials he carried on his back, bought cloth to change into, and slowly savored some gourmet food at a tavern.

Returning from the dead, transitioning from the Deceased Spirit to a real person, at this moment, feeling the smoky allure of mundane food, made him rather sentimental and he ate slowly.
