Chapter 912: Chapter 399: Taiyi Golden Immortal

"Remember his name..."

Before the three graves, amidst the vibrant roses, Li An stood for a long time, his heart filled with inexplicable emotions.

After a long while, he ultimately just sighed, took a deep breath, and began to ponder.

"Li Mountain..."

Li An had heard before, about a hundred years ago, that the Tai’e Sword Saint who had been protecting the Dao Sect, failed to become an Immortal Venerable and perished, his path and life ending. After that, the Purple Fairy had once rebelled, only to be defeated by Hongbo Fairy and imprisoned within Li Mountain.

Now Shangguan Xiaoxiao going to Li Mountain, it is evident that she aims to rescue the Purple Fairy!

"Killing Hongbo Fairy and supporting the Purple Fairy to succeed... it’s indeed a way, but if all hope is pinned on the Purple Fairy, it’s very slim."

For the Evergreen Immortal Venerable, indeed someone needs to oversee the matters of the Heavenly Court for him, and after Hongbo Fairy’s death, the Purple Fairy would be his only successor, but who says the Evergreen Immortal Venerable will definitely make the Purple Fairy the ruler of the Heavenly Court?

The Purple Fairy, unlike Hongbo Fairy, might not fully become his puppet.

Moreover, even if the Evergreen Immortal Venerable genuinely makes the Purple Fairy the ruler of the Heavenly Court, it doesn’t mean the Dao Sect, Treasure Cauldron Palace, and other forces will survive.

These... An Li would not have overlooked.

Could it be, he has other arrangements?

What assurance does he have to persuade the Evergreen Immortal Venerable?

Li An couldn’t figure it out, after all, he had left this world four thousand years ago, and the information he currently knew was too little.

"I need to quickly improve my cultivation level!"

Although he was worried about Shangguan Xiaoxiao and the Dao Sect’s affairs, Li An also knew clearly that with his current cultivation, he was not enough to take part in this grand play.

His current Golden Immortal level could defeat a Taiyi Golden Immortal, but the current players... are at least Daluo Golden Immortals.

"This place does have something special..."

Li An sensed carefully, this mountain forest seemed to be shrouded by a mysterious force. He followed the traces and entered the small courtyard where Yuan Ziyi once lived, crossed the empty pond, and pushed the door into the thatched hut.

At the moment of pushing the door, he distinctly felt a strange resistance, as if he couldn’t enter this hut at all. But at this moment, the wheel of life and death within him began to operate on its own, the power of life and death balance spread to his hands, and the wooden door of the hut creaked open a slit...

The interior of the thatched hut was quite simple, with just some basic household items like tables and chairs, but after countless years without being cleaned, it was surprisingly dust-free.

"Something’s not right..."

Li An was a bit surprised, if he guessed correctly, this hut itself couldn’t be opened!

For instance, Shangguan Xiaoxiao, even if she is a Daluo Golden Immortal, with cultivation penetrating creation, this hut is a mere illusion for her, unattainable, but the power of life and death balance on Li An was the only key to open this place!

With a vague sense of anticipation in his heart, Li An stepped into the hut, instantly feeling a sense of entering an otherworldly realm, this place seemed isolated from the world, the power of time and space unable to touch within the hut.

It was like a secluded paradise, no longer belonging to this space-time, all the distractions in his heart instantly calmed down.

"The sanctuary left by the Longevity Seeker for his wife and children..."

Li An understood.

The Longevity Seeker exhausted his efforts to bring his wife and child back to life, yet naturally would not let them endure worldly hardships again. Yuan Ziyi and her child lived here, and even if Evergreen Immortal Venerable or Yunluo Immortal Venerable came, they could not harm them in the slightest!

This sanctuary was crafted by the Longevity Seeker using the power of life and death balance, transcending all causality.

Li An had become the only one to unlock it.

The Longevity Seeker might not have been worried because by the time any cultivator of the world could grow to unlock this place, his wife and child would have already lived their full lives, and this place would hold no significance then.

Li An looked around and found a painting hanging on the front wall of the hut.

It was of a man in a white robe, seated on Cyan Peak, playing the zither with focus, his features chiseled like a sculpture, distinct eyebrows and eyes, the very image of the Longevity Seeker.

When Yuan Ziyi came back to life, she already knew the Longevity Seeker had passed, and this painting was her only remembrance.

In front of the painting stood an incense burner, filled with ashes, indicating that Yuan Ziyi and her child often offered incense to the painting.

"Uniquely resonant, this painting itself seems almost to gain a wisp of spirit?"

Li An observed for a long while and came to a stunning conclusion.

This hut is not bound by the constraints of the world, so the continued infusion of thought and telekinesis within the occupants over time could evolve into dreams or illusions like nightmares, but Yuan Ziyi had obviously realized this and stopped.

The painting is ultimately just a painting.

Even if this painting truly gained sentience, it would definitely not be the Longevity Seeker himself, even if that spirit had the exact same visage and nature as the original, it would still merely be a product of her longing.

"This place transcends time, meaning that no matter how many years I cultivate here, when I leave the hut, it would only be a moment?"

Li An was somewhat excited.

The thing he lacked most was time!

Without hesitation, he began to cultivate in this thatched hut.

The black and white wheel of life and death unfolded, from which an endless aura seemed to flow, it was the Immortal Dao and Demon Dao weaving together, life and death resonating, light and darkness interwining endlessly, existence and void infiltrating each other...

From life and death, destruction and existence, it seemed possible to evolve all relative existences in this world.
