Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

Chapter 696 - 327: Womb of Creation (Part 3)

The thunder sliced like a knife through the crown of the head; the lightning pierced like a sword into the marrow of the bones...This process was terrifying.

...

This Thunder Tribulation came with extreme ferocity!

But it disappeared just as quickly. Li An’s previous crossings of the tribulation took several days, yet this one lasted only an hour.

It wasn’t that the amount of Celestial Tribulation had decreased, but it came fast and fierce, which resulted in Li An being blasted beyond recognition.

Even his Primordial Spirit cracked, turning into spots of light that slowly reassembled, as his physical body struggled to emerge from a pile of ashes.

The Life Seed continuously transformed, with its power slowly draining out, nourishing his body. Li An meditated for a long time, and finally, the light of the Primordial Spirit radiated, the aura flowed over his body, and his flesh became flawless like white jade, shimmering with light.

The Immortal Dao realm had finally reached the Crossing the Tribulation stage!

Until now, the Life Seed had already sprouted eight branches, resembling a small tree, exhaling the vitality of ages, extremely sacred.

Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, Refining Void, Harmonization Dao, Mahayana, Crossing the Tribulation!

A total of eight great realms, each realm promotes the small tree to grow another branch.

After becoming an immortal, what kind of transformation will the Life Seed undergo?

Li An was very much looking forward to it.

"The speed of absorbing the power of ages has accelerated..."

The Life Seed became even more powerful, giving him a momentary illusion that the Life Seed had already taken root in this time and space, with the power of ages continuously flowing!

"This time’s Crossing the Tribulation seems a bit different..."

He pondered.

The phenomena of the Life Seed was astonishing. During the Crossing the Tribulation, he distinctly felt the Life Seed resonating with this world, with all the heavenly changes seemingly arising because of it...

Could it be that Crossing the Tribulation on the eleventh day is different from the Spirit Realm?

He was puzzled.

However, he didn’t have the time to think about it. Outside the valley, the fluctuations of a great battle kept coming!

He walked out of the retreat, first quickly visiting Huang Chong and Liang Yan’s locations.

Huang Chong had been blasted to only half a body and was struggling to regenerate, while Liang Yan’s body was entirely gone, leaving only the Primordial Spirit, and it would take a long time to recover.

"Brother Gu, why are you... unharmed?"

The two were somewhat shocked to see him.

In their view, the reason this Thunder Tribulation was so terrifying was that the tribulations of the three of them "stacked" together.

Li An was also a bit surprised to see them alive, but he quickly realized...

Huang Chong and Liang Yan hadn’t attracted the Thunder Tribulation at all!

Logically, the two of them, in his range of Celestial Tribulation, should also have attracted their own Celestial Tribulations, but their injuries were entirely caused by his Thunder Tribulation.

The Heavenly Dao didn’t care about these two?

This doesn’t seem right...

Li An was a bit confused, but at that moment, he didn’t reveal it, merely smiled bitterly and said, "My physical body barely relied on Spirit Medicine to regenerate, but suffered Great Dao injuries, and my Primordial Spirit cracked. I’m afraid I won’t make any progress from now on—"

He demonstrated a bit, and indeed, his Primordial Spirit was faint, like a candle flickering in the wind, teetering on the brink.

Huang Chong and Liang Yan finally felt balanced, seeing that Li An was worse off than they were...

"We three are truly unfortunate, what exactly changed... such a thing has never happened before!"

"Yes, Celestial Tribulations have become very rare indeed..."

The two were exceptionally miserable, full of complaints.

Li An comforted them a bit, then said, "Come on, let’s go outside and take a look!"

The three of them held on and walked out of the valley.

At this moment, outside the valley, the battle was in full swing.

Gao Rushan was fighting two, yet was not falling behind, his spells and Immortal Artifacts crushed the two Profound Immortal ancestors of the Celestial Spirit Palace!

It was an absolute overpowering attack!

The path of cultivation is so much about mentorship and platform, even though they are both Profound Immortals, the difference is vast.

Even the third ancestor had to give up on the heavily injured Yi Linglin to join in besieging Gao Rushan.

But, it was still just a stalemate, and the three of them were struggling greatly.

And Chen Tongguang and others, having already switched to orthodox Immortal Dao, had cultivation at the highest at Crossing the Tribulation level, couldn’t approach the battlefield at all.

"Kill that woman first!"

Suddenly Li An shouted, "Use the magic treasures to finish her off!"

As he spoke, he launched an Immortal Artifact, which was from his days of crossing tribulations in the Spirit Realm, and he had never used it before. He directed it to attack Yi Linglin.

"How dare you—"

Gao Rushan saw this, turned his spear to defend, and swept Li An’s Immortal Artifact aside with its tip.

Yet, his moment of distraction allowed the three Profound Immortal ancestors of Celestial Spirit Palace to intensify their attack.

"Kill her!"

Palace Master Chen Tongguang’s eyes lit up. Li An’s attack exposed Gao Rushan’s concern for Yi Linglin. By attacking her, they could lessen the pressure on the ancestors.

The Celestial Spirit Palace, as a Profound Immortal Level force, had accumulated some items. At this life-and-death moment, they took out all they had of value and threw them out with abandon.

Yi Linglin’s face changed drastically. Although she was a Seven-Petaled True Immortal with Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, she was severely injured now and had difficulty defending herself.

"You retreat first, I will kill these three—"

Gao Rushan transmitted his voice.

Although he could suppress them with a one against three, he couldn’t afford to divide his attention.

Yi Linglin felt a thousand unwillingnesses in her heart, but since this matter related to her future, at this life and death moment, she had no choice but to retreat.

"She is a Seven-Petaled True Immortal, don’t let her escape. Her head can be exchanged with the Immortal Rejuvenator for a piece of Hongmeng Immortal Light!"

Chen Tongguang was hesitating when an ancestor suddenly transmitted his voice.

Chen Tongguang’s pupils shrank upon hearing this, locking his gaze on Yi Linglin tightly, as if seeing a great opportunity!

Hongmeng Immortal Light!

This stuff is too precious.
