Chapter 177: Transformation into Longevity Fruit

Nearly 300,000 Mortals lived in Ningyuan City.

And above these 300,000 Mortals, an invisible barrier enveloped them.

“The Creation and Reversion Grand Array…” Li Fan narrowed his eyes, sensing the wisps of vitality that occasionally appeared in the air.

“Such pure life energy, no wonder it can form longevity fruit that increase Lifespan.”

These diffused vitalities naturally came from the Mortals living in Ningyuan City.

“I remember that in later generations, every outpost of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance had defensive arrays that could extract the essence of Mortals to increase Spiritual Qi concentration.”

“But compared to the Creation and Reversion Grand Array at this time, it’s simply an act of great kindness.”

Li Fan’s Divine Sense swept over the Mortals in Ningyuan City, finding that there were extremely few elderly people in the city.

“The Creation and Reversion Grand Array can absorb the vitality of Mortals. Mortals growing within the Grand Array will also have their Lifespan drastically shortened.”

“Often, living to forty or fifty years old is already the limit.”

“At this time, the immortal-mortal miasma did not yet exist. In the eyes of Cultivators, Mortals were nothing more than cattle and livestock, to be taken and given as they pleased.”

Li Fan’s thoughts raced, but he made no extra movements.

Following Song He Song, he arrived at the center of Ningyuan City.

Here, the vital energy was even more refined.

It was so dense that it faintly appeared green, forming strands of floating tentacles, which were slowly absorbed by a large tree growing here.

On the branches, three heavy fruits hung.

They were emerald green and translucent, exuding a fragrant aroma that made one’s mouth water.

“Senior Brother, this is the Rebirth Longevity Tree.” Song He Song took out a large seal and pressed it in front of the Rebirth Longevity Tree.

At the same time, he shouted, “Absolve!”

Around the Longevity Tree, there seemed to be an invisible barrier.

The large seal and the barrier collided fiercely.

Dozens of light rays surged out from the large seal, then, like silver snakes, instantly traveled throughout the barrier around the Rebirth Longevity Tree.

“Please Senior Brother, make your move!”

Song He Song pressed and maintained the large seal with effort, while shouting loudly.

Veins bulged on his forehead, seemingly indicating extreme exertion.

Seeing this, Li Fan didn’t hesitate. With a stretch of his hand, a purple seal immediately appeared.

“Hurry!”

The purple seal was carved onto the invisible barrier.

Dozens of purple light snakes instantly surged out from the seal.

The purple light snakes chased after the previous silver light snakes.

Each had its own target, devouring them one by one.

A moment later, when the silver light snakes were completely absorbed.

These dozens of purple light snakes emitted a faint glow.

Then they rotated rapidly.

Forming a diagram of Purple Firmament Thunder Clouds on the invisible barrier.

Li Fan, following the instructions in his memory, unleashed a Purple Firmament True Thunder that could only be generated by cultivating the Purple Firmament Thunder Control True Art.

Purple lightning flashed.

The invisible barrier opened with a roar.

Li Fan circulated the Thunder Control True Art, protecting his entire body with Purple Firmament Spiritual Qi, and strode into it.

He arrived beneath the Rebirth Longevity Tree and looked up at the longevity fruit emitting an enticing aroma.

“This batch is of good quality.”

“Just this tiny longevity fruit can actually extend one’s Lifespan by three hundred years.”

Following the method in his memory to identify the longevity fruit, Li Fan couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotion.

“It is said that the highest quality longevity fruit can extend Lifespan by over a thousand years.”

“Unfortunately, with the birth of the immortal-mortal miasma, this method of condensing longevity fruit seems to have become ineffective.”

“These longevity fruit, if placed in later generations, would undoubtedly be priceless treasures.”

“I wonder if there’s a way to bring this longevity fruit back to reality.”

As Li Fan thought, he slowly picked the three longevity fruit from the tree and placed them in a specially made jade box.

“What should I do next? Should I send these longevity fruit back to the Sect? Or should I try them myself first to see if they have any effect?”

Li Fan was momentarily hesitant.

According to Chen Ying, all gains in the Fallen Immortal Realm only existed within the Fallen Immortal Realm.

To bring them back to reality, specific conditions needed to be met.

And these conditions varied, requiring self-exploration.

Even if it was the same item, encountering it in different situations or at different times would lead to different conditions.

It seemed to be related to the Karma involved with the item.

And each time he came to the Fallen Immortal Realm, the appearing location was different.

So, if he missed this Opportunity, it was very likely to be missed forever.

This also caused Li Fan to become anxious about gains and losses.

However, soon, Li Fan returned to normal.

“The greater the value of an item, the more stringent the conditions for taking it out. How could it be so easy for me to bring it back to reality?”

After scoffing to himself, Li Fan made a decision.

“I should still go back to Zixiao Sect to see if there are any Opportunities first.”

“I just don’t know if it’s still in time.”

Immediately, Li Fan left the protective barrier of the Rebirth Longevity Tree, preparing to call Zhang Shixiong and return to Zixiao Sect.

“Boom!”

Just then, a loud bang suddenly echoed through Ningyuan City.

Li Fan’s heart skipped a beat, and he looked towards the direction of the loud noise.

“Chixia!” Zhang Qianmo’s mournful cry carried from afar.

“You’re courting death! Don’t even think of leaving!” Accompanied by his furious voice, a black streak of light shot into the sky.

Immediately after, Zhang Qianmo transformed into a purple light, pursuing relentlessly.

Li Fan immediately had a bad premonition.

He quickly followed.

And Song He Song also followed closely behind.

“Senior Brother, calm down! Be careful of a trap!” Li Fan transmitted with his Divine Sense.

But Zhang Qianmo was clearly consumed by rage, losing his rationality.

He ignored Li Fan’s dissuasion.

He relentlessly pursued the black light.

Flying high into the sky, the black light suddenly stopped.

He looked down at the exasperated Zhang Qianmo, revealing a smile of successful conspiracy.

“Fellow Daoists, why don’t you show yourselves!”

In an instant, beside the black figure, three other people appeared.

They formed a formation, tightly surrounding Zhang Qianmo, who had plunged into their encirclement.

“Zhang Shixiong! Long time no see!”

The black figure laughed heartily, extremely smug.

Zhang Qianmo, realizing he had fallen into a trap, his expression turned grim.

“Senior Brother? Do I know you?” He stared at the opposite person for a while, somewhat puzzled.

“You…” The black figure seemed to have received a great insult, and immediately became agitated.

“Relying on your Thunder Spiritual Root, you’re so arrogant and disregard everyone!”

“Even Chu Liang, who once entered the Sect with you and was then severely humiliated by you, you don’t recognize him anymore?!”

Hearing this, Zhang Qianmo remembered something.

His body trembled, and he blurted out, “You’re Chu Liang? How is that possible?!”

“Didn’t you have no Spiritual Root and couldn’t cultivate, and were expelled from the mountain?! How are you at the Foundation Establishment Realm now?!”

Chu Liang laughed uproariously, “No Spiritual Root means no cultivation?”

“That’s right, but that was before!”

His face showed fanaticism: “Now, Immortal Venerable has spread the New Law, and everyone can cultivate.”

“Moreover, our cultivation speed is even faster than you old fogeys!”

“You, with your dignified Thunder Spiritual Root, started cultivating more than ten years before me, yet you’re still in the same Realm as me now!”

Zhang Qianmo’s face showed disbelief.

“Everyone can cultivate? What nonsense!”

Chu Liang sneered, “How pathetic. Once you lose your proud cultivation Aptitude, what do you have left?”

Then he stared fiercely at Zhang Qianmo: “In the past, I knelt before your door for three days and three nights, almost crippling my legs.”

“I only begged you to let me stay on the mountain.”

“Not only were you indifferent, but you also went to great lengths to mock and humiliate me.”

“The humiliation of that day, today I will wash it away with your blood!”

“Fellow Daoists, let’s attack together!”
