Longevity Family: Let Her Live At The Beginning, Let Her Live

In the middle of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain,

Elder Sun floated in the void, holding a mysterious array pattern in his hand. He was repairing a fourth-order formation.

Beside Zhang Ran stood Fairy Yu Yan, and the two of them seemed to be on vacation.

They chatted and laughed, occasionally holding hands for a long time, making Yu Yan blush.

"This Master Zhang really knows how to have fun. I heard he marries dozens of women every year. Look at how he made the number one beauty of the Evergreen Sect so happy."

The other formation masters saw Zhang Ran here with a beautiful woman and couldn't help but make fun of him.

"If you were handsome, you could do the same."

"Hmph, back in the day, I was much more handsome than him," a bald man with a receding hairline grumbled.

Zhang Ran and Yu Yan returned together, but Yu Yan did not visit Zhang Ran's home.

"Alright, we can set up the Seven-Star Scarlet Kill Formation now." The materials have arrived, and Zhang Ran was excited. The first fourth-order formation was about to be completed.

Inside the third-order formation of the Zhang family, seven light spots flickered. These seven light spots were suspended in the sky above Zhang Ran's mansion. After a while, Zhang Ran activated the hidden array pattern of the Five Elements Reversal Formation, concealing the Seven-Star Scarlet Kill Formation, and the sky returned to normal.

This movement naturally caught the attention of Zhang Ran's women.

"Husband, why are there seven stars shining above?"

Zhang Ran said, "I added some formations."

With the fourth-order formation, Zhang Ran felt much more at ease.

"Next is the Six Harmonies and Eight Wilderness Formation. This formation can be used for offense and defense. With it, my Zhang family will be truly secure."

Zhang Ran looked at the fourth-order puppets beside him. They were comparable to early Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

"There are fourth-order demonic beasts in Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, so I can start planning ahead and be fully prepared."

At the tenth level of Core Formation, his spiritual power had reached 950 li. It seemed that 1,000 li was a threshold he couldn't surpass.

But it was already close to the Nascent Soul stage.

Zhang Ran spent three days making various preparations.

Talismans, formations, pills, puppets - after making all the necessary arrangements, he was ready to set off.

"Fourth-order demonic beasts are already comparable to humans in intelligence, but they are still demonic beasts. Without the bloodline of divine beasts, they cannot transform at the fourth-order. They still retain some instincts, so it's best to attract them with precious materials. My puppets have no aura and are perfect for sneak attacks."

Zhang Ran's plan was simple. He would use a fourth-order spirit herb called Falling Leaf Grass, which he had purchased at an auction, to refine a precious fourth-order pill.

In the eastern part of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, a rainbow quietly arrived today and disappeared after entering Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.

Zhang Ran concealed his aura and flew low all the way.

He had already chosen his target.

There was a black crocodile here, which had been lurking for over 5,000 years and was still in the early stage of the fourth-order. Among the fourth-order demonic beasts in Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, it was the slowest but had high defense.

But even if he failed to capture this demonic beast, he had a chance to escape. The other risks were much greater, after all, they were fourth-order demonic beasts and had to be careful.

Due to his powerful spiritual sense, he approached the territory of the black crocodile without attracting its attention. He found an open space and quickly set up a Five Elements Reversal Formation. The range of this formation was only about a hundred zhang, so it was easy to set up.

Afterwards, he placed the Falling Leaf Grass inside and hid all the puppets in the formation. Now, he just had to wait for the black crocodile to take the bait.

Zhang Ran focused his attention and hid himself within the formation.

Boom!

Boom!

It seemed like a giant beast was approaching, and just from the sound, one could tell that the creature was massive. The vibrations caused by its footsteps shook the ground here.

A giant beast over thirty zhang long slowly appeared, exuding an extremely fierce pressure that made Zhang Ran suffocate. So this was a fourth-order demonic beast.

It was his first time seeing one. Compared to Nascent Soul cultivators, these demonic beasts had a more oppressive aura. They didn't conceal their aura but released their terrifying ferocity without restraint.

No wonder there are no other monsters within thousands of miles. Just this aura alone is enough to scare the little monsters to death.

The ink crocodile looks a lot like a crocodile, but its body is covered in scales. Its crimson eyes are fixed on the distant Biluo grass, filled with desire.

Obviously, this fourth-grade spiritual herb is very attractive to it. However, it is definitely unusual for such a spiritual herb to suddenly appear in its territory.

After carefully investigating the surroundings for a while, it leisurely departs.

After a while, a third-grade monster, the Blue Demon Wolf, arrives. The fear in its eyes clearly indicates that it was threatened by the ink crocodile to come here.

Its gaze falls on the Biluo grass, which the big monster asked it to help collect.

The Blue Demon Wolf slowly approaches the Biluo grass.

Zhang Ran had already anticipated this. These monsters don't know how to pick such spiritual herbs. If they handle it carelessly, they will only ruin this fourth-grade spiritual herb.

Sure enough, the wolf monster used its claws to dig for a while, causing the Biluo grass to wither. Seeing this, the ink crocodile immediately roared, "Roar!"

The little wolf monster trembled and ran away, apparently realizing that it could only eat the grass directly.

After hesitating for a day, the ink crocodile couldn't help but enter. Zhang Ran, on the other hand, became more serious because this was just the beginning.

Just as the ink crocodile plunged in, it was still very cautious. Zhang Ran didn't rush to activate the formation. When the ink crocodile was sure there was no danger and was about to swallow the Biluo grass in one bite...

Just as it opened its mouth, the puppet hidden in the formation suddenly attacked. The right hand of the puppet turned into a sharp blade, wielding countless sharp sword lights, each one aimed directly at the ink crocodile's eyes.

As soon as the puppet made a move, the ink crocodile immediately felt a tremendous force attacking from one side. Subconsciously, it activated its demonic power to protect itself and roared in anger. It was about to swallow the Biluo grass, but the grass disappeared.

Seeing this, the ink crocodile became furious and swung its tail to defend against the puppet's attack.

However, at this moment, the Five Elements Reversal Formation started to operate. Although it couldn't completely stop the ink crocodile, it did delay it for a few breaths.

"Boom"

With a deafening roar, mixed with the agonizing howl of the ink crocodile, a huge dust cloud rose up where Zhang Ran was. Countless dust and trees flew in the air.

The aura of a fourth-order demonic beast, along with the aura generated by the battle with a fourth-order puppet, could be felt by the First Heaven Sect, hundreds of thousands of miles away.

"There is a Nascent Soul cultivator fighting." The sect master of the First Heaven Sect flew up into the sky, gazing towards the direction of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, filled with doubt. Who was it that provoked the giant crocodile of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain this time?

He wanted to go and see, but during this critical period, he was afraid of arousing suspicion.

"I'll ask other Fellow Daoists first. Now that Ten Thousand Beast Mountain is about to open, I should avoid unnecessary trouble."

...

At this moment, in the northeast of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, the mountain range spanning thousands of miles had been destroyed. The head of a massive crocodile was covered in blood. Zhang Ran's third-order formation had long been destroyed. The initial blow from the puppet had been tremendous, directly piercing into its brain.

This battle had laid the foundation for victory, and the rest would be simple.

Every time Zhang Ran's Primordial Origin Bowl and Golden Brick struck, the crocodile's body trembled. The crocodile had many attack methods, aside from its powerful physical body, it also had a Divine Ability called Devour.

Devour was a Divine Ability that only Nascent Soul cultivators could use. Unlike Dao techniques and skills, it was a method self-realized after comprehending the power of heaven and earth.

The power of each Divine Ability varied, some had strong offensive capabilities, some were suitable for auxiliary cultivation, and so on. But regardless of the Divine Ability, they were all extremely terrifying.

The crocodile's devouring also caused some trouble for Zhang Ran, but it wasn't a big problem.

At this moment, the crocodile was lying on the ground, facing a fourth-order humanoid puppet, with five third-order puppets harassing it from all sides. Zhang Ran floated above the void, delivering tons of attacks to it.

The nearly defeated crocodile had the intention to escape, but its movements were slow and it couldn't escape the pursuit of the puppets. After another minute, the crocodile was finally slain.

"This Nascent Soul stage demonic beast has undergone a complete qualitative change in its demonic power. It is not something a third-order demonic beast can compare to. It seems that there are many things about Nascent Soul cultivators that I don't understand. Fortunately, I was fully prepared this time and didn't underestimate it. No wonder they are called Nascent Soul old monsters."

Zhang Ran didn't waste the materials from this demonic beast. After taking the demonic core, he placed the entire crocodile in his storage ring and quietly left.

By evening, an old man in a black robe and a young man in white suddenly appeared in this place.

"It seems that the ink crocodile has already died, and its body has been taken away by someone," Elder Sun said, looking at the chaotic mountains.

The man in white was Wang Daoyi, who said with surprise, "The sect masters of the other five sects have not left their own sects. Obviously, there are other Nascent Soul cultivators who have come. This fluctuation? And a formation too?"
