Longevity begins with Zongmen handyman

A year later, a prince finally arrived.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The arrival of Taoist Kuyuan did not alarm anyone. He only asked Li An, Chu Lin, and Zhao Yuan to accompany them. Zhang Yuan also went together to check the situation on Nanfu Island.

Li An knew this place best and reported the basic situation.

"Well, has there been any change in Nancor Island's strange atmosphere over the years?"

Standing on the highest mountain peak on Nanfu Island, Taoist Kuyuan felt the breath of heaven and earth, seemed to be looking in a certain direction of the sea, and asked questions calmly.

Li An said: "Your Majesty, for the time being... we haven't found anything."

"not found!?"

Taoist Ku Yuan snorted coldly: "Su Yebai really doesn't pay much attention to this place. He just let a few Hedao guards guard it. He can't even see the strange aura from the sea coming towards this place!"

Hearing this, the faces of Chu Lin, Zhao Yuan and others all changed drastically, with horror in their eyes.

Is the strange atmosphere on the sea coming?

Li An hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, we... we did not find anything unusual about the formation on the island."

"No wonder you, your cultivation level can't detect it, it's normal!"

Taoist Ku Yuan had no intention of pursuing the responsibility, "I'll go take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure had disappeared from the spot, as if he had never existed. Li An and others did not even sense the fluctuations in the void.

"Is this the fairy?"

"It's so scary!"

Everyone was shocked. There was no doubt that Ku Yuanzi had taken that step in the golden world.

At the same time, they all understood that this matter might be very important.

Otherwise, it would not be done by an immortal-level master himself.

After a long time.

The figure of Taoist Kuyuan reappeared on the spot, and he nodded: "Half a year ago, there should have been an extremely pure and strange aura coming from the depths of the sea. Unfortunately, it has been so long that the source cannot be traced."

"But Nanrot Island is where strange energy accumulates, there is no doubt about it!"

On both sides of Kuyuan Taoist's face, the left face was full of normal flesh and blood, but the right face was as withered as the bark of an old tree. The left and right eyes were reversed. The light in the right eye was very bright, while the left eye almost disappeared.

At this moment, his right eye clearly showed satisfaction!
"Zhang Yuan, you will stay here during this period and pay close attention to the South China Sea."

He gave the order and immediately prepared to leave.

"Disciple obey!"

Zhang Yuan spoke respectfully.

I don't know what he thought of, but Master Kuyuan suddenly said again: "Li An, I heard that you were injured?"

After speaking, he grabbed Li An's wrist and took his pulse.

Li An's heart tightened, but he did not resist and allowed him to check.

Li An has great trust in Mingzhong. His current cultivation is still hidden in the early stage of Hedao, and his soul is lacking. Even an immortal can hardly see anything.

After a long time, Taoist Kuyuan nodded and said: "It is indeed a great injury. It is difficult to recover..."

He took out a pill and handed it to Li An, "This is an elixir that can extend your life for thousands of years. I give it to you!"

Li An was surprised and hurriedly said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, and thank you for your generous gift!"'

"Our Daozong will never treat meritorious ministers unfairly. You have been guarding here for many years, which is unfair to you... Daozong always seeks fairness and justice when doing things."

After finishing speaking, Taoist Kuyuan waved his hand again, and a ray of fairy light fell on Li An. Before Li An could speak, he had already drifted away. Zhang Yuan hurriedly followed and saw him off.

"Elder Li, I am really happy and congratulated!"

"With the blessing of the Supreme Immortal, Elder Li has a bright future!"

Chu Lin and Zhao Yuan both had extremely envious eyes. An elixir that could extend the life of a Hedao cultivator for thousands of years was extremely rare even today, and one needed to have a close relationship with an immortal-level powerhouse to obtain it.

What's more, Daozong also advocates conforming to nature and has always been averse to elixirs that prolong life.

To Li An, Master Ku Yuan was extremely kind and treated him very generously!

Moreover, Taoist Kuyuan finally gave Li An a fairy light, which was obviously to protect Li An's life, which meant that if anything happened to Li An, he could arrive to save Li An as soon as possible!
Neither of them understood that Li An, an elder who had lost power in the Dao Sect and was ostracized in Evergreen Peak, had such a relationship with Taoist Kuyuan.

Puzzled and envious!

At the same time, they also respected Li An!

Normally, they didn't pay much attention to Li An.

Li An seemed happy and humbly greeted the two of them, but his heart was already tense!

What does this mean, Master Kuyuan? !

He is extremely sensitive to aura, so he can naturally sense it. What Taoist Kuyuan gave him should indeed be good things. Even the last immortal light that protects the body is natural and has no malicious intent. But... why ?
Taoist Kuyuan actually wants to protect himself?
No, Li An didn't believe that he could get such attention from Taoist Kuyuan.

unless……

Someone wants to kill Ang Lee?

And Taoist Ku Yuan doesn't want that person to succeed?That's why...he gave Li An these things.

This is the only possibility.

This made him inexplicably nervous. Which god was he targeting?Moreover, to be able to make Taoist Kuyuan take him seriously, the other party... is definitely not a weakling!
……

"This place is very important. You stay here and report to me at any time no matter what happens."

Taoist Kuyuan has arrived at the edge of Nanfu Island and tells Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan responded respectfully.

"And Li An, from now on, just let him find a safe place on the island to rest. Try not to let him participate in dangerous things, and don't go out."

Kuyuan Taoist emphasized again.

Zhang Yuan had a look of confusion in his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, does Li An have any major influence on this matter?"

Taoist Ku Yuan shook his head, sighed, and said: "Wang Ji's disciple is about to become an immortal, but a little bit of the mortal aura is too strong, and it's all condensed on Li An!"

"What an injustice!"

"If that female doll wants to become an immortal, she will definitely kill Li An, the inner demon... But Li An is a disciple of my Taoist sect, not a demon. How can I sacrifice Tan Qingxue just to fulfill him? We are the Taoist sect, not those black and white people. A demonic sect that doesn’t distinguish between good and evil!”

"If Tan Qingxue kills Li An for the sake of becoming an immortal, what's the point of becoming an immortal? This move has already led to her falling into the devil's path!"

He spoke very solemnly: "In the past, Tai Qingzi almost made a big mistake. I can no longer sit back and watch others take the wrong path!"

"Li An cannot die, he is innocent! She will find a way to break Tan Qingxue's calamity by herself!"

"I would rather let Dao Zong lose one immortal than have one more blood sinner!"

Zhang Yuan's eyes were instantly relieved, and he couldn't help but bowed deeply to Taoist Kuyuan and said: "Your Majesty, you have troubled yourself——"

……

After Zhang Yuan returned to the island, he immediately made adjustments to the island's affairs according to what Master Kuyuan said.

Many of the hard work originally undertaken by Li An was transferred to Chu Lin and Zhao Yuan. Chu Lin and Zhao Yuan were unhappy, but they did not dare to show it at all and had to accept it with a smile.

Who allowed Ang Lee to have such a big backstage!

"Elder Li, you have worked too hard these years. Things on the island are still inseparable from you, so you still need to stay on the island. But you don't have to take care of those chores from now on. Just practice with peace of mind."

Zhang Yuan smiled.

Li An cupped his hand and was very grateful, "Thank you, Elder Zhang, for your kindness. Li An will never forget it!"

……

Under Zhang Yuan's arrangement, Li An moved into the safest cave on the island, and the surrounding area was quietly replaced with higher-level protective formations.

This made Li An even more worried.

what's the problem?

Who the hell wants to kill himself...

He thought carefully but couldn't figure it out.

Demon?

Ordinary evil spirits would not dare to show up, unless they were of the level of Shangguan Shengxian.

But if it is really Shangguan Shengxian, Taoist Kuyuan's doing this is tantamount to frightening the enemy, and directly telling the other party that Li An is protected by them.

What Taoist Kuyuan did to Li An was more like a warning to others.

Don't touch him!
"Is he someone from the Dao Sect?"

It's quite possible.

"No, you can't be so passive!"

Li An murmured.

Although Taoist Ku Yuan currently protects him very tightly, he must not entrust his life to Taoist Ku Yuan.

What's more, Li An doesn't even know the true intention of Taoist Kuyuan, he just guessed it.

What if Taoist Kuyuan is also a person with unpredictable intentions?

Li An set up four layers of formations inside and outside the cave where he retreated, including isolation, offense, and defense.

Then hundreds of runes for attacking the soul were arranged in the formation.

If Taoist Kuyuan takes it seriously, anyone who wants to take action against Li An will definitely be able to do the Mahayana Escape. The Yuan Shen will fly in directly and kill Li An. Who will Li An ask to reason with?

But these things can only protect against Hedao level ones at most.

The real Mahayana, even transcending tribulations, or the arrival of immortals, Li An's these are completely useless.

There are only two useful things: the thunder in the fairy coffin and the teapot lid buried on the island!
The thunder from the sky is extremely destructive to the soul, and the lid of the teapot is inexplicably powerful.

But these two things must never be used.

Otherwise, his trump cards and everything he hides will be directly exposed.

run away?

No, now that he is shrouded in Kuyuanzi's fairy light, where can he run?
Returning to the Dao Sect, it would be a good idea to just let Xiang Yuntian guard him... But this method is not much better. Firstly, Xiang Yuntian himself has limited strength and is only trying to overcome the tribulation. If the opponent is an immortal, Xiang Yuntian cannot protect him. Living in Li'an, the disaster of Siguoya may not happen again.

Secondly, once the Immortal Ceremony started, how could Xiang Yuntian, as the master of a peak, come out, and Li An ran out with him again, sticking to him all the time?It’s not very realistic when you think about it.

"wrong……"

Li An analyzed it carefully and suddenly gained a new understanding.

Ku Yuanzi deliberately asked people to protect Li An and gave Li An a body-protecting fairy light. What does this mean?
It means that at least in Ku Yuanzi's view, this is enough -
In fact, Ku Yuanzi just wanted to send a signal that he was paying attention to Li An and asked him to restrain himself and not act recklessly.

The opponent is enough for Ku Yuanzi to take him seriously, but not stronger than Ku Yuanzi!The other party needs to give Ku Yuanzi face, and Ku Yuanzi also doesn’t want to be too ugly, so doing this is also a tactful reminder to the other party!
These two pieces of information...are implicit in Kuyuanzi's behavior.

"A certain big shot in the Dao Sect——"

Li An narrowed his eyes. He couldn't guess who it was, but thinking about it carefully, maybe it would be best to cooperate with Ku Yuanzi's plan now...

Ku Yuanzi's move will most likely work.

"In addition, we need another insurance -"

Li An thought for a moment, and then took out a half-dead young man from the immortal coffin——

This man is a genius of the Five Elements Sect. He is a Taoist who entered this place to practice hundreds of years ago. He had an accident and was seriously injured, so Li An captured him.

It's not like Li An didn't do anything. He also wouldn't refuse prey that was completely risk-free...

"you……"

This cultivator wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, Li An had already activated his magic power and directly refined him -
Become a puppet!
After a long time, the puppet became exactly the same as Li An. It looked like a real living person, with no difference even in the most fundamental vitality.

"This fairy light protects me and identifies my life breath, so I should be able to transfer the fairy light to the puppet!"

Li An murmured.

This fairy light is like a "clothes" that he can only put on, but now "another Li An" has appeared, so the "clothes" can naturally be changed between the two.

Li An tried to introduce the fairy light into the puppet. After a long, long time, he finally succeeded!
Li An felt relaxed for a while!
In this way, he has two insurances.

The first one is Ku Yuanzi. Since the other party is a member of the Dao Sect, he will definitely be wary after noticing Ku Yuanzi's attitude. Li An feels that this line of defense alone should be able to keep him safe. .

The second way is this "false body". As long as Li An doesn't go out, if the opponent wants to kill Li An, he can only fly in with his soul. The real Li An is waiting in secret with the thunder in his hand. If it doesn't work, he will kill the opponent's soul. god!

Of course, if he really kills the other party, then Li An has only one way to go -
He left with the lid of the teapot given by Mrs. Yi, and he could no longer enter the Taoist sect from now on.

Ang Lee is not unacceptable to this.

In fact, when Li An entered Daozong, it was for Daozong's protection and various resources.

He was too weak at that time and had no power to resist in the face of the future situation.

But things are different now. Li An has been able to initially transform into a strange creature, and he has also made great progress within the Dao Sect.

Now, in terms of his cultivation, he does not need Dao Zong's Cave Heaven Blessed Land. Dao Zong has lost its greatest role for Li An!
He will definitely leave Daozong in the future. After all, in the face of the strange tide, Daozong will be destroyed. It is good to hide under the big tree from the wind and rain, but when the big tree is about to topple... Li An will definitely run away in advance.

The reason why he has not left is that he still needs to hunt enough blood food with the help of his identity as Daozong elder, and secondly, he wants to continue to harvest Daozong's wool, and maybe he can rob him when Daozong is in chaos. Daozong, get some valuable resources.

But it’s hard to resist the risk when it comes, so naturally you should protect yourself first!

All preparations had been made, and Li An immediately announced directly to the outside world that he was about to retreat.

In order to prevent the outside world from seeing the clues about his fake identity.

His real body hides his aura, and his fake body is placed in the cave, where he practices in disguise.

……

In the blink of an eye.

Another ten years have passed.

News about the Immortal Ceremony has finally spread throughout the world!
Daozong made a decision and chose the location of the Immortal Ceremony - Nanfu Island.

A large number of people from the Dao Sect arrived, including the peak masters of many peaks, even the headmaster Su Yebai, and several superiors, who frequently appeared on Nanfu Island.

With Nanfu Island as the center, larger construction began, and the entire surrounding bay was included in the plan by Daozong.

Daozong's plan is extremely astonishing. He wants to set up a shocking formation with the entire bay as the center, and use some mysterious objects floating in the South China Sea as a lure to actively attract the dormant storm deep in the South China Sea.

Actively activate the weirdness, and then let the geniuses of Dao Sect become immortals in the weirdness——

The world is attracting attention, the world is in an uproar, and almost all forces and cultivators are discussing this matter!
"Are Daozong crazy? They actually want to take the initiative to attract the fairy wind in the South China Sea. They have forgotten what the world was like when the great changes occurred in 300 years? This will affect all living beings!"

"It's smaller, the pattern is smaller! No matter what Dao Zong does, if there is really a storm dormant in the depths of the South China Sea, they can stir it out, which is equivalent to demining the entire spiritual world. Moreover, they are in front, and we are just right You can watch the fire from the other side!”

"That makes sense... But if Dao Zong really makes the right bet and a group of immortals appear out of nowhere, then who else in the world will be Dao Zong's opponent from now on? I'm afraid it won't be difficult to unify the entire spiritual world. .”

All kinds of news bombarded.

The Brahma Sect, the Five Elements Sect, the Sun Moon Sect, the Taiqing Sect, and even some ancient and secretive forces, such as the Dugu Family of the Sword Immortal Family, Ge Ruxian, the successor of ancient Taoism, and other important figures have also appeared in Xinzhou...

The geniuses in the world are even more yearning for it, and they all rush towards Nanfu Island, wanting to witness history.

Nanfu Island has become a place for gatherings of people.

……

The island is extremely lively.

Xiang Yuntian and Gu Shanye also came and paid a visit, but after learning that Li An was practicing in seclusion, they didn't bother him.

While Li An was practicing, he watched with cold eyes, waiting, without taking a step out.

The more people there are on the island, the safer he is!

After all, if someone in Daozong wants to kill Li An, it can only be because of evil. After all, Li An has not made any mistakes in these years. Daozong follows the rules and cannot kill innocent people.

If you want to do it in public, it will be very difficult.

……

There was a lot of discussion about Daozong's plan in the world, and various big shots appeared again and again, coming to investigate and so on.

However, the speed at which Daozong deployed formations far exceeded the imagination of the world. Senior officials within Daozong called the move of Nanfu Island an eternal plan. The time span for setting up various formations was conservatively estimated to be 500 years. above.

The entire Dao Sect came out in force, and all kinds of precious resources poured out like sand. The price paid was unimaginable. Top-notch magic weapons, runes, formations, etc., were consumed crazily...

After all, Daozong has to do a lot this time.

When the heaven and earth changed in 300 years, the world was in tragedy, and all the immortals fell. Now they want to take the initiative to attract the immortal wind from the South China Sea. Who knows if there will be another big change?

Therefore, you must be fully prepared.

In order to reassure the major forces in the world, Daozong often invites people from various sects to come and let them understand Daozong's painstaking efforts and plans, and that they are aboveboard.

Daozong even directly said that any cultivator in the world who is determined to become an immortal can participate in the final immortality ceremony without paying anything, even if he does not participate in the construction of Nanfu Island.

Obviously, Daozong had a great sense of responsibility and morality in doing this, not for Daozong himself, but for the survival of the entire spiritual world.

Therefore, Daozong wanted all cultivators in the world to participate.

The more people who become immortals in the midst of weirdness, the greater the power to fight against weirdness in the future.

Later, some major forces gradually learned more about the inside story, sent some talented people, and used some resources to participate in the construction of Nanfu Island and surrounding bays...

In the blink of an eye, nearly a thousand years have passed -

Thousands of years are like running water.

But on Nanfu Island, everything has been turned upside down!
The entire island was bulldozed, and millions of miles of land were paved with top-notch avenue stones to form a huge platform. The avenue stones were filled with all kinds of terrifying immortal formations. Just walking into it made people feel... The illusion of enlightenment and ascending from the spot.

On the periphery, there are various top-notch immortal medicines, all transplanted from within the Dao Sect. A large amount of immortal substances are released, and finally converge into the Tao platform on the island, with thousands of rays of light, like a fairyland.

In the bay outside Nanfu Island, there are many more islands that were not there before -
Those islands were created by Dao Sect masters who moved mountains and reclaimed the sea. Each island is a formation point, and the formation is intricate. In many places, there are mysterious things obtained from the South China Sea.

And in the sky tens of millions of miles away, there are one hundred and eight suspended fairy cities. Immortal-level powers are deployed in those cities, or they are directly guarded by immortals. The one hundred and eight fairy cities are connected with each other, covering the entire bay. , and even the entire South China Sea was suppressed!
"It's almost equivalent to... moving the entire Dao Sect here."

"From top to bottom, they are all working together. Just to build these, I am afraid that Dao Sect has consumed [-]-[-]% of the foundation it has accumulated over the ages, right?"

"Is it really worth it to spend thousands of years and do this at all costs..."

Everyone in the world doesn’t understand.

It should be noted that the golden age of a thousand years is so precious. The number of immortals from many other great forces is increasing rapidly, and they are already on par with Dao Zong!

But Daozong wasted all his energy on doing this, and no one became an immortal in thousands of years--

All those who hope to become immortals must wait for the Immortal Ceremony!
Daozong seems to be making a huge gamble. He doesn't want ordinary immortals at all, he only wants immortals who can realize the Tao in the weirdness!

"Is it really worth doing this..."

Above Nanfu Island, several immortals were checking around to confirm that everything was correct, and one of them couldn't help but sigh.

This person was Master Fen Yuan, the master of Tianhuo Peak back then.

"worth."

Tai Qingzi, the former headmaster and now the Supreme Immortal, said calmly: "Don't forget those bones floating from the South China Sea..."

"Don't talk about us. Even if the famous True Immortals, Golden Immortals and even Da Luo are dead in the immortal world, unimaginable horrific disasters are slowly approaching, but the world is sleeping in the dream of the golden world."

He shook his head: "Just sit and wait for death. The entire spiritual world is sitting and waiting for death."

Tian Chenzi pondered for a moment and said, "But if we misjudge, our Dao Sect may have difficulties from now on..."

Daozong's sacrifice over the past thousand years... was too heavy.

"It's just as hard as it gets."

Taiqingzi smiled slightly and said: "There are many forces in the spiritual world, but others cannot bear such responsibilities. Daozong is the first in the world and has always been regarded as a holy place by the people of the world."

"The Holy Land should have the responsibility of the Holy Land, and the Dao Sect should have the responsibility of the Dao Sect."

He spoke softly, as if he had seen through everything, but there was no fear at all. He only had a calmness and indifference to face all storms, and said: "This is our fate."

"Even if I die, I won't give up!"

……

"Haven't you figured it out yet?"

Meanwhile, somewhere.

Li Yunxiao, whose face had been disfigured, stared at Tan Qingxue and said: "The Nine Tails are complete, the last inner demon must be slain -"

Tan Qingxue was silent for a long time.

……

Ang Lee's retreat.

Since the entire Nanfu Island has been changed, Li An and others were moved to a newly built island next to it hundreds of years ago.

Zhang Yuan did not forget Ku Yuanzi's instructions and continued to arrange a safe place for Li An.

this day.

"I'm already in the late stage of Hedao. After 1000 years, the people who wanted to kill me should have... stopped, right?"

Li An muttered.

He was one thousand, six hundred and fifty-three years old when he broke through the Hedao. Now another thousand, seven hundred years have passed, and his age has reached more than three thousand, three hundred and fifty years!

……

It was late when I got home, so this chapter is a little late.

Will resume normal operation tomorrow and update at [-]pm.

thank you all! (End of chapter)
