Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

Chapter 897: Chapter 394: If Li An Were Still Here

Purple Cloud Mountain, compared to four thousand years ago, has now become a land of sanctity, enveloped in immortal aura. The stone walls up the mountain are inscribed with calligraphy from the leaders of various great powers, and at its peak lies a majestic Daoist Palace.

This place holds a revered position, belonging to no single power, commemorated as a Holy Land. Originally, it was merely a site where masters from all over the world gathered regularly to discuss the Dao, but later, under the advocacy of the Dao Sect, restrictions were lifted, allowing all beings to come here to listen to the teachings of the Dao.

Thus, this place remains extremely popular, with a continuous line of cultivators eager to ascend and take in the sights.

"The Heavenly Court reshapes the azure sky day, recalling the time when Purple Cloud stood unbroken."

"The immortal breeze blows for eleven days, the old sword is lost, and people are all gone."

At the mountain gate, Li An saw an inscription, surprisingly signed by the Palace Master Yunxi of the Biluo Palace.

"My master also left an inscription on Purple Cloud Mountain. In fact, all the masters who participated in the battle to destroy Purple Cloud Mountain came here to leave their marks."

Qiu An, dressed in brocade, smiled faintly. His master Chu Jue once participated in this battle, which is one of his proudest achievements.

Li An only smiled slightly.

"Miss Lin, please!"

Gu Xuening, under the alias Lin Xue, followed Qiu An into the main mountain. The Daoist Palace was resplendent. Gu Xuening went to meet Chu Jue, but Li An had no such qualification, and wandered leisurely on the mountain.

The mountain remained the same, yet the scenery had changed completely. All the vegetation was newly grown, and the buildings were all newly erected, although some remnants of ruins were retained as a memorial to that battle, regarded as a Holy Land for countless years, drawing many geniuses from the world for admiration.

"Do you see it? This is the eternal glory of the two palaces, three grounds, and ten mountains in the Saint Realm of that year!"

"In that battle, our Biluo Palace and Treasure Cauldron Palace led the world to breach this place... Haha, do you know that at that time, Yunxi of the Biluo Palace and Ye Cauldron of the Treasure Cauldron Palace were merely at the Celestial Immortal stage, yet they managed to slay a Taiyi Golden Immortal!"

"Did they really do it? I heard some other rumors, suggesting there were others involved?"

The Deceit Strife Assembly gathered, attendees from various great powers came, especially the disciples from the prominent forces in the former Saint Realm, all exuding immense pride.

"Besides Yunxi and Ye Cauldron, who else could it be?"

"Ha, indeed, in the official record, it was led by these two, other unofficial accounts are unreliable!"

The questioned disciples from prominent families were visibly displeased.

"History books can be altered, but the truth is always remembered by someone. In that battle, it was our Dao Sect’s Supreme, the later Blood Sword Demon Monarch, who led."

At this moment, another young man spoke up, carrying a long sword, his expression calm. The cultivators from Biluo Palace and Treasure Cauldron Palace turned angrily toward him, but this Dao Sect youth said:

"This is passed down orally in the Dao Sect and documented in its history. It cannot be wrong. If you do not believe it, you may ask Palace Master Yunxi and Palace Master Ye Cauldron, they would not lie."

"Of course, if you are still not convinced, the sword in my hand will also tell you the truth."

Seeing this youth, Li An couldn’t help but be a bit dazed. This fellow... bears a striking resemblance to An Li...

"The arrogance of the Dao Sect won’t last much longer!"

Although the disciples from Biluo Palace and Treasure Cauldron Palace did not act impulsively, they coldly remarked, "Entangled in Purple Fairy’s rebellion, even Tai’e Sword Saint is no more, no one will care for you anymore—a lowly sect from the lower realm becoming one of the famous mountains is a disgrace!"

Li An was shocked by their words. He pretended to be ignorant and inquired from those around, and the obtained information left him stunned for a long time.

Tai’e Sword Saint, in his attempt to ascend to Immortal Venerable a hundred years ago, ultimately failed and turned to ashes in the tribulation.

Three years after Tai’e Sword Saint’s death, Purple Fairy conspired to overthrow Hongbo Fairy’s rule but was suppressed and is now imprisoned under Li Mountain in the Ninth Heaven.

It should be noted that the reason the Dao Sect managed to thrive in the Heavenly Court was heavily reliant on these two individuals!

The various precautions left by Li An indeed protected the Dao Sect.

...

"Chu Jue has already invited me to be an Honored Guest Elder of the Two-headed Holy Land,"

Returning, Gu Xuening informed Li An, "For a grand power like the Two-headed Holy Land, ordinarily a Golden Immortal wouldn’t even catch their attention, yet even I have been recruited now, it seems a great war is truly imminent."

"Within the Heavenly Court, nearly all the people of the strong powers, whether they are leaders or representatives, are present."

Gu Xuening spoke with great gravity, "The Deceit Realm and the Heavenly Court have clashed many times, but such a grand occasion... has never been seen before."

"Something extraordinary must have happened."

...

Three days later.

The Deceit Strife Assembly was held.

The colossal Dao Palace hall could accommodate ten thousand people!

Li An followed Gu Xuening, witnessing on the high platform, all the leading figures of major powers were seated together!

"Palace Master Ye Cauldron of Treasure Cauldron Palace has arrived!"

The welcoming voice resounded, as a middle-aged man entered, donned in a wide robe and long sleeves, with a tall hat, appearing like an undefeatable monarch, bearing a solemn demeanor and exuding an invincible aura.

"Is he a Daluo Golden Immortal?"

"Indeed, a Daluo Golden Immortal... Ye Cauldron failed twice before, but has finally overcome this hurdle!"

"For this Deceit Strife Assembly, even he was invited!"

The hall was filled with discussions.

Soon after, other prominent individuals appeared one after another.

"Palace Master Yunxi of Biluo Palace has arrived!"

"Saint Master Luo Changying of the Sapphire Sacred Land has arrived!"

"Palace Master Ye Tiancan of Celestial Pearl Palace has arrived!"
