Longevity Begins With Zongmen Handyman

Chapter 157: The Plan to Form the Core

Spirit Realm!

Li An had heard of this term in his past life.

It was said that the Spirit Realm stood above all realms and possessed true opportunities for immortality. It was considered the holy land of cultivation in the hearts of cultivators from various realms.

It could be said that entering the Spirit Realm brought one closer to becoming an immortal.

The fact that Shangguan Shengxian and Shangguan Xiaoxiao came from the Spirit Realm was enough to astonish him.

"That's right, my sister and I are both from the 'Heavenly Demon Sect' in the Spirit Realm. Our sect was destroyed in the past, and my sister and I had to flee everywhere..."

"The Yin Yang Demon Sect in the Emperor Yuan Realm is just a small branch that we left behind in the lower realm."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao calmly spoke.

Li An basically understood.

The Heavenly Demon Sect in the Spirit Realm suffered a great calamity, and Shangguan Shengxian and Shangguan Xiaoxiao came to the Emperor Yuan Realm to avoid it.

However, the two sisters were not on good terms and fought against each other.

That's why the disaster in the Northern Territory happened.

Jingbei Wang, Baihu Zhenren, Xuan Yang Sect... and even Li An himself were just pawns and sacrifices in the battle between the two sisters.

Li An continued to ask, "How can I communicate with the Spirit Realm?"

The frail girl replied, "There are special connecting channels between the Spirit Realm and many lower realms, but they only open once every thousand years, and only true powerhouses can sense them... You are not qualified."

"What about you?"

"My main spirit was destroyed by my sister, and my current strength is not as good as yours."

Li An had originally wanted to communicate with the Spirit Realm and pass on the news of Shangguan Shengxian's presence here.

After all, since someone had pursued Shangguan Shengxian in the past, it meant that she had many enemies in the Spirit Realm.

From this perspective, this plan seemed hopeless for now.

"What do you want to do in the Emperor Yuan Realm?"

"Find something."

"What thing?"

"Something very important... but it's not certain whether it's in this realm. However, I can tell you that although my sister didn't obtain your body, she has taken over mine, which is enough for her to display great power. In order to find that thing, she will definitely unify the Emperor Yuan Realm, which is not difficult for her."

The frail girl looked at Li An. "And she will definitely not let you go. A naturally born demonic body is extremely rare, even in the Spirit Realm. You are her best choice."

Li An's heart sank slightly.

Doesn't this mean that he will have to be on guard in the Emperor Yuan Realm in the future?

"I can help you."

The frail girl continued to speak.

As soon as she finished speaking, Li An's main spirit suddenly made a move without any warning, grabbing her throat tightly!

He began to crazily activate his demonic cultivation technique!

Li An was preparing to... refine her directly!

The demonic cultivation technique circulated, and his divine sense surged!

Even though Shangguan Xiaoxiao had once been powerful, she now only had this weak remnant main spirit, which was inferior to Li An.

Refining her would not be difficult.

Shangguan Xiaoxiao was tightly held by Li An's main spirit at her throat, but her eyes remained calm and without any ripples. There was even a hint of mockery.

"If you refine me, you won't get anything."

The voice of her main spirit sounded, "If I am refined, all memories will turn into nothingness. You can only absorb my weak soul power."

"By then, how will you deal with my sister?"

"Even though you have a naturally born demonic body, before you grow up, you will only have a dead end when facing her!"

However, Li An remained indifferent and silent, and the demonic cultivation technique continued to circulate.

Her main spirit gradually became illusory, almost on the verge of being completely refined by Li An!

Even so, her eyes remained mocking, without any panic!

In the end, Li An stopped.

Because he sensed that when he was about to completely refine and absorb the other party, many soul light substances within Shangguan Xiaoxiao's main spirit were on the verge of destruction.

It seemed that she had some kind of secret technique to ensure that her soul couldn't be searched and her memories couldn't be accessed.

In that case, refining her would indeed be meaningless.

"You're a clever person."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao weakly smiled, "With me helping you, along with your talent and... caution! If you compete with my sister and even kill her, it is not impossible for you to avenge your beloved."

However, Li An simply closed his spiritual platform coldly.

...

He slowly opened his eyes.

For the time being, he couldn't kill Shangguan Xiaoxiao. With her around, when Li An truly faced the threat of Shangguan Shengxian, she would definitely not sit idly by. This was beneficial for Li An.

But as for what Shangguan Xiaoxiao said about dealing with Shangguan Shengxian, seeking revenge, or even killing her?

Li An naturally had the thought, but he was also very clear that his strength couldn't support his ambitions and desires.

The gap between the two sides was too great, like an insurmountable chasm!

To catch up to the other party's cultivation level in a short period of time, Li An had no hope.

Since that was the case, it would be better to leave and find a place to cultivate quietly, waiting until he had absolute strength before seeking revenge.

Even though he experienced the battle in Tianyang City... Li An's state of mind remained unchanged.

He would never act recklessly!

The technique of nurturing life and forging immortality was his greatest reliance. He would endure with time, ten years if necessary, a hundred years if necessary, and if a thousand years still wasn't enough...

A gentleman takes revenge, it's never too late!

The only thing that made him somewhat regretful was Gu Hong.

But in reality, in this battle, he had done everything he could for Gu Hong, not holding back, telling her the opportunity to escape, and even giving her life-saving talismans.

In the end, he still owed her a debt of gratitude for saving his life.

Although the person was gone, Li An's true feelings may have once existed, but they had faded away during the twenty-two years of waiting.

That's how the cultivation world is, one must learn to forget, one must learn to be cold.

Li An had long since become accustomed to it.

Currently, the most urgent matter in Li An's heart was to form a foundation and strengthen his own strength!

After all, if Shangguan Xiaoxiao's words were not false, Shangguan Shengxian might even unify the Emperor Yuan Realm next.

Recalling Shangguan Shengxian's Divine Ability that froze the entire city with a single thought, Li An felt that it might not be impossible for her.

"Forming a foundation!"

Li An's heart was extremely determined.

His cultivation had already reached the peak of Foundation Building, and it was urgent to prepare for the foundation formation.

The top-grade elemental spirit pill was still in Baihu City, so he definitely couldn't go back for now.

He planned to wait another thirty to fifty years before slowly making his way back to retrieve the medicine.

After all, there was no longer that mysterious demonic energy in his body, making it difficult for the other party to track and discover his whereabouts.

Currently, he lacked neither pills nor cultivation.

He only lacked a suitable place for seclusion and foundation formation!

"A third-grade spiritual vein..."

This was the key!

Without the support of a third-grade spiritual vein, forming a foundation was just empty talk.

However, almost all third-grade and above spiritual veins were occupied by major powers.

For example, in the northern border of the Great Li Dynasty, the only ones with intact third-grade spiritual veins should be the Sword Sect and the Beast Sect...

But Li An didn't plan to find a place within the Great Li Dynasty to form a foundation.

He had to look "outside" the country.

After all, it was too easy to be discovered by Shangguan Shengxian within the Great Li Dynasty.

"Yan Country."

It was the closest to the Great Li Dynasty, and Yan Country was also very powerful.

From the northern border, it bordered Qingzhou of Yan Country.

"Stabilize for a period of time first,"

He wasn't in a hurry and focused his attention on his puppet Zhao Yi!

Currently, he urgently needed an identity, a foothold.

While contacting Yan Country and understanding the situation, he would wait for the opportunity to retrieve his top-grade elemental spirit pill.

And as a bandit leader, Zhao Yi was quite suitable.

He planned to take Zhao Yi's place and control the bandit stronghold himself.

This way, no one would suspect his identity, and it would be suitable for contacting Yan Country.

Next, Li An spent half a year observing and confirming that everything was normal with his puppet, with no danger.

"To think he's already close to the mid-stage of Foundation Building, it seems that Zhao Yi has some fortuitous encounters..."

Li An was quite surprised. This puppet had developed quite well.

On this day, he quietly sneaked into Zhao Yi's "Qingfeng Stronghold."

Zhao Yi had already entered seclusion to break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Building!

Without any effort, Li An blended in, bypassing the formations, and then directly pushed open the door...

In the stone chamber, Zhao Yi, who was breaking through to the mid-stage of Foundation Building, suddenly opened his eyes, somewhat surprised, instinctively wanting to resist...

But black light flashed in Li An's eyes!

The demonic technique was activated!

Zhao Yi's gaze met Li An's gaze, and he immediately trembled all over, his face turning extremely pale...
