Chapter 913: Chapter 399: Taiyi Golden Immortal (2)

It can also be said that destruction and existence, life and death, are the most fundamental forces in this world. The Immortal Dao is merely a form of life, while the Demon Dao is an aberration of death. Light is a fleeting spark of creation in the world, and darkness is the symbol of everything after death...

When one understands life and death, one can comprehend all laws.

When one comprehends existence and destruction, one can break through all techniques.

This state is profoundly mysterious.

Countless years have passed, and although the thatched hut is unaffected by the world’s forces, it can still sense the outside world. The autumn wind rises, spring thunder resounds, and the autumn rain in the mountains has soaked through many starry skies. The snow accumulated on the thatched hut reflects many a moonlit night.

With Li An’s cultivation, the millstone of life and death seems to have devoured everything between heaven and earth. Even this thatched hut is gradually losing its power that transcends all things.

The power that protected this place, left by the Longevity Seeker, has also been refined and absorbed by Li An.

Finally, one day, a fragrant breeze hit the already broken window, causing the wooden frame to creak and fall to the ground, the sound slowly awakening Li An. He smelled the fragrance of roses in the wind and opened his eyes.

Where his gaze fell, the entire thatched hut had already decayed, the wooden tables and chairs bore many wormholes, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the ground.

When the power of this thatched hut was absorbed into Li An’s millstone of life and death, the hut ceased to be special. It was merely an ordinary house in the world of today.

Li An stood up.

"Thank you."

Though the owner of this place had long vanished, he still spoke a word of thanks.

There was nothing else left inside the hut, except for a painting that was on the verge of gaining a spirit. After some thought, Li An took it down and put it away in his pouch.

It might still be of use.

The Longevity Seeker was deceased, and his wife and children were buried in graves. The spirit forming in the painting had no connection to the Longevity Seeker, and leaving it here might one day turn into a menace. Li An taking it away was not disrespectful.

Moreover, in some sense, Li An was already the sole heir of the Longevity Seeker.

He was also the only witness in the world who knew all the past and true history of the Longevity Seeker.

He pushed open the door and stepped out of the thatched hut. A patch of roses grew wildly. Li An picked a bunch and placed it in front of Yuan Ziyi’s grave.

After clearing the weeds and other clutter around the three graves, Li An turned and left.

Not long after he left, the thatched hut, which had lost its divine power, finally couldn’t withstand the mountain wind. With a creak, its beams broke, collapsing among the mountains and fields.

...

Li An’s first target was not Li Mountain.

Now, his cultivation had reached Golden Immortal Perfection, allowing him to break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.

He needed a Spirit Vein of the Taiyi Golden Immortal level to provide enough power of life and death.

"Treasure Cauldron Palace and Biluo Palace have been besieged. Great Monarch Red Spear, along with several other Daluo Golden Immortals, wants to eradicate the traitor. Dao Sect’s Supreme Elder Xiang Yuntian has already gone to rescue them, and Xiang Yuntian is actually a Daluo Golden Immortal too!"

"The battle of Daluo, it seems the previous news wasn’t unfounded, something must have happened to the Lord of the Heavenly Court!"

"Great Monarch Red Spear has sent out an order, calling for all forces to quell the chaos, but few have responded. Celestial Pearl Palace, Star Hanging Palace, and others have shut their doors and stayed neutral!"

Upon leaving the mountain, within the Immortal Realm, there is already warfare everywhere, with endless news flying around.

"Latest news, Double-Headed Holy Land and Luo Xuan Holy Land have taken action, currently besieging Dao Mountain. The foundation of the Dao Sect is precarious!

"If the foundation of the Dao Sect is broken, how can they partake in this struggle for power?"

"Chaotic, it’s completely chaotic!"

Li An didn’t find it difficult to obtain the news that the Dao Sect was under siege. Currently, within the Dao Sect, experts had already gone to reinforce Biluo Palace and Treasure Cauldron Palace, so Dao Mountain was defenseless, relying on the Mountain Protection Array to barely hold on.

Li An pondered for a while, then without any hesitation, headed straight for Double-Headed Mountain!

He continuously used divine powers like Shrinking the Ground to Inches. At Golden Immortal Perfection, his power surpassed the past, and by the next day, he was already in Double-Headed Prefecture.

Double-Headed Mountain, true to its name, with one peak resembling a dragon’s head and the other a tiger’s head, stood mighty and majestic on the plains of Double-Headed Prefecture. On the Mountains of Dragon and Tiger, pale golden light shone down year-round, uninterrupted.

It is said that in ancient times, a Heavenly Dragon and a Divine Tiger fought fiercely, both perishing here, turning into Double-Headed Mountain. Their entwined bodies created this place of cultivation.

Because of the ongoing chaos, Double-Headed Holy Land dispatched many forces to patrol and guard, the Mountain Protection Array was constantly activated.

For Double-Headed Mountain to rise to the level of a Holy Land implied that a practitioner of Daluo Golden Immortal level had appeared. However, as of now, Li An had not heard of any trace of a Daluo from Double-Headed Holy Land, so he dared not approach too closely.

He killed a practitioner from Double-Headed Mountain, infiltrated a group from Double-Headed Mountain, circled around Double-Headed Holy Land for a long time, observing the terrain of Double-Headed Mountain.

Half a month later, Li An had a plan in mind.

He headed for several major counties in Double-Headed Prefecture. These counties were separated from Double-Headed Mountain by distances ranging from millions to tens of millions of miles. Although not the core area of Double-Headed Mountain, they were quite important, several outposts even had Taiyi Golden Immortals in charge.

These outposts already had Spirit Veins at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.

After three to five days of preparation, on this day, Li An suddenly appeared outside an Immortal City, launching a powerful punch!

Boom!

The terrifying force of the punch fell, clashing with the city’s protective array. Li An did not manage to shatter the array.
