Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

Chapter 726 - 336: Breaking the Deadlock

Half a month straight!The sea of thunder surged, with various terrifying visions of divine thunder emerging. As it progressed, celestial fires and heavenly rivers appeared all over the sky, truly astonishing, as if destined to destroy the heavens and the earth.

"Such a strong thunder tribulation, maybe someone will prove to be a true immortal?"

On a certain mountain peak, Chi Yilan, dressed in white, observed the thunder tribulation, and couldn’t help but feel shocked.

He was a Seven-Petaled True Immortal, and the thunder tribulations he had experienced were naturally not simple. Yet, this current overwhelming thunder tribulation left him astounded. The contained power was too immense.

Although a few cultivators were proving to be Profound Immortals, so the tribulations for Profound Immortals would be stronger, it shouldn’t be as intense as this, right?

Unfortunately, with divine thunder interwoven across the sky, he couldn’t discern to whom the tribulation belonged.

"Whether or not you’re a genius, you’ll find only a dead end!"

With a calm expression, he continuously circulated the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill within his body and said lightly, "The stronger you are, the more I gain!"

"In another half a month, the celestial tribulation should end, and action will be possible..."

...

At this moment.

Within Li An’s closed door cultivation place.

His primordial spirit howled in the flames, jumping from being burned, his body completely destroyed, leaving only a charred skeleton, while a small green tree stood in the flames, exerting itself to emit life force to help Li Que sustain life.

"What the hell is this celestial tribulation!"

Li An was almost cursing his fate; this was simply a dead end, leaving him faintly hopeless.

The crucial point was that after the flames, there was still the water of the heavenly river, as heavy as Yellow Springs Evil Lead, as toxic as the breath of hell. The hard days were yet to come!

Despite his mindset exploding, he struggled desperately, just seeking a path to survival!

With a crack, his bones were burned away by celestial fire, and even the Life Seed was charred at this point, its leaves wilting and yellowed by flame, branches withering, as if nearing death.

"Rebirth me!"

Li An roared, and his primordial spirit once again broke through his self-limit. Among the ashes, numerous immortal Dao materials condensed, and astonishingly, a new body emerged from the silence of death.

But as this body was newly reborn, fiercer celestial fire had already descended.

Death, destruction.

Rebirth, rampant growth.

As if an endless cycle, enduring the Divine Soldiers and Celestial Sword, ushering in the devouring of the dragon and tiger, enduring the celestial fire tempering, in the blink of an eye came the poison of Weak Water...

Several times, Li An nearly lost consciousness, almost entering a state of death, yet was pulled back by a sliver of breath from the Life Seed, then broke through his self-limit once more and confronted the enemy anew...

Furthermore, aside from the thunder tribulation blocking him from forming the Dao Fruit of immortal Dao, there were several additional layers of thunder tribulations, one of which seemed to automatically manifest Creation Runes to shock and kill Li An, another seemed like a line of destruction, descending into boundless restrictions, and yet another transforming into a cauldron, boiling him whole...

These were the three immortal professions he cultivated!

Talisman, array, alchemy.

Li An fell into despair directly. No wonder throughout history, most people, upon reaching the stage of becoming an immortal, would forsake their previous abilities in immortal professions. Just overcoming this tribulation to become an immortal already brought one to the point of near-death, and coupled with additional hardships, it was truly exceedingly difficult.

In comparison, when he was in the Era of the Strange’s immortal Dao, resisting the erosion of the past through the power of time, he obtained an eerie Dao Fruit. It truly was like cheating and did not carry this level of suffering.

At this moment, a hint of hesitation flickered across Li An’s heart. Ultimately, he gritted his teeth and prioritized abandoning the immortal profession of alchemy.

Though he was greedy, he was rational. Ensuring his survival at present to endure becoming an immortal was the most important thing.

Otherwise, all would be empty talk!

The reason he discarded the art of alchemy was largely due to the advent of the Era of the Strange, where across the world, there were no longer medicinal materials available for him to refine. Having a technique with no place to utilize it rendered it useless.

However, abandoning alchemy did not feel sufficiently secure; after thinking it through, he also gave up the Array Master’s power of the immortal profession.

Similarly, Immortal Array Masters relied on the power of creation to craft arrays, restrictions, and so on. But now, with the widespread strangeness, the power of heaven and earth of the orthodox immortal Dao had already disappeared, the foundations had dissipated. Where could one set up arrays or gather restrictive materials?

Only the talisman did not rely as heavily on the environmental constraints of heaven and earth like alchemy or array; it was still usable, so he decided to retain it!

Indeed, after he severed two types of immortal profession power, the giant furnace and the black-and-white line of destruction both disappeared, leaving only the mysterious power of the talisman to strike.

Though still hard to bear, it was much better than before.

...

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Within the closed-door cultivation site, Li An sat cross-legged in his cave abode, motionless, appearing like an inanimate clay statue!

After some time, he suddenly opened his eyes, and in his gaze, two beams of radiant light seemed to materialize. Wherever it touched, the big green stone of his cave abode shattered with a "bang," turning to flying ash. The gaze didn’t stop and shot far, a thousand meters away, where trees and stones were all unstoppable.

Li An quickly blinked, restraining the light in his eyes, and simultaneously stood up.

At that moment, radiance flowed all over him, Dao charm as apparel, auspicious aura as clothing, immortal light blossoming at his footsteps, morning glow arising with his gestures, truly like an immortal from the heavens!

With a thought, an immortals’ flower bloomed on his forehead, the flower having nine petals, each petal round and flawless, truly of the ultimate in the world, worthy of being a perfect True Immortal.
