[Triple update, seeking votes and subscriptions]_3 The Venerable Tianli sent out six Jade Talismans, and within half a day, they summoned six Golden Immortals who were enjoying their retirement in the secret realms of the Eastern Alliance.

These six divine physicians of the Human Race shuttled back and forth between Mu Cilin and the Fountain of Youth, only to shake their heads in the end and pull Tianli to a corner outside the bamboo house, secretly conveying to him:

“Even with the destruction of the spring, Patriarch Mu’s wife cannot be revived.

Her soul has already merged with the souls of her ancestors.”

“Perhaps only the Queen Mother of the West can save her.”

“But the Queen Mother of the West has not been seen for the past ten thousand years, and this Fountain of Youth was not a gift from her, but rather a replication crafted by His Majesty Fuxi Shi…”

“Now, it might be better to fulfill Patriarch Mu’s wife’s wishes and protect her daughter.”

“Li Mu’s daughter is beyond saving.

With a thousand and six hundred souls intertwined, it’s a case beyond redemption.

If we don’t destroy the spring, the spiritual power will still seek out her daughter.”

“We can only turn to the Queen Mother of the West now; even His Majesty Fuxi Shi would likely be of no help.”

Venerable Tianli closed his eyes and sighed deeply, a hint of helplessness flickering in his eyes.

Although the Fountain of Youth was precious, there was actually a stockpile of it within the Eastern Alliance, and its limitations were significant; only those below the level of Heavenly Immortals could use it for healing…

But Li Mu’s daughter was right before their eyes, and Li Mu’s only bloodline was there.

If he destroyed the Fountain and extinguished the spirit, it would weigh heavily on his Daoist heart.

Venerable Tianli said, “I will go and beg the Queen Mother of the West!”

No sooner had he spoken than an old Golden Immortal suddenly pointed to the sky and exclaimed, “Qingluan!”

“Where?”

Venerable Tianli and the others turned to look and saw amidst the sky a spread of rosy clouds, a divine bird engulfed in immortal light, shaped in shades of blue and white, approaching from the northwest, leaving along its path a trail of rosy light.

The Qingluan divine bird!

The Queen Mother’s messenger!

In all the world, there was only one!

Venerable Tianli’s eyes gleamed with golden light and he saw upon Qingluan’s back a graceful Immortal holding a Jade Talisman, which filled him with joy.

“Good timing!

The Queen Mother must be aware of the difficulties with this Fountain of Youth and has sent a messenger to provide a solution for us!”

“Ah, it’s not necessarily so.

She might be recalling the Fountain of Youth from this place.”

Qingluan had already arrived above the Peach Blossom Forest in the blink of an eye, circling slowly above the valley, drawing crowds from villages within a hundred-mile radius, all gazing up at the divine bird.

Behind Tianli, Li Dazhi and the others also rushed out to watch.

All of a sudden, someone said, “Why isn’t the Qingluan messenger landing?”

At that moment, the Qingluan let out a high cry.

The whole valley shook once more!

The Peach Blossom Forest suddenly burst into a blaze of rosy light, and the great hall beneath the ground broke through the rock layers and soil, swiftly rising up.

The Formation of the original hall was rendered ineffective, with the earthen and stone walls collapsing outward, and the dome cracking open and sliding off, only to be swept away by the immortal light surging forth from the Fountain of Youth.

In just a short time, the Fountain of Youth, once buried, now appeared in the midst of the Peach Blossom Forest, transformed into a simple altar.

Li Ping’an remained seated above the Fountain of Youth.

Strands of immortal light seemed to pierce through his body, making him nearly one with the Fountain of Youth, and at this moment, Li Ping’an smiled slightly, a soft sigh escaping his lips.

His murmuring voice was clearly captured by the surrounding Immortals.

“I understand now.

“To refine life from death goes against the Heavenly Dao, and reversing life and death also demands a price.

“The Fountain of Youth requires a guardian spirit, and Li Mu’s daughter is the guardian spirit of this Fountain.

“Someone once told you that if the Human Race wins within a hundred years, they would come to take you away from here, but no one came in the end.

You thought the Human Race had lost and you loyally guarded this place.

Alas, that person must have perished in the war.”

You?

It seemed as if Li Ping’an was speaking to someone else.

He sighed softly and formed a simple hand sign, causing a drop of Spiritual Spring to rise from his palm.

In the next instant, Li Ping’an’s Primordial Spirit suddenly burst out of the Lingtai, and the tiny spirit figure opened its mouth to swallow the drop of Fountain of Youth Water which Li Ping’an had refined countless times!

“Hey!”

Li Dazhi shivered with fright.

Elder Xu Sheng, Venerable Tianli, and the group of retired Golden Immortals simultaneously widened their eyes in shock.

“You brat!” Venerable Tianli roared, “You can’t just eat that stuff willy-nilly!

It can create offspring!”

But the quickest to act was a Heavenly Immortal on the scene.

Qing Su appeared behind Li Ping’an, striking down with a hand-chop aimed right at Li Ping’an’s Primordial Spirit!

Fortunately, Qing Su still hesitated when striking, and the hand-chop stopped just behind Li Ping’an’s Primordial Spirit.

And for good reason, Li Ping’an’s Primordial Spirit radiated streams of rosy light, its outer layer covered with wrinkled ‘old skin’, which rapidly peeled away to reveal a new Primordial Spirit engulfed in rosy light within.

Qing Su felt it.

Li Ping’an’s spiritual power had suffered a loss of about 20 percent;

But the new Primordial Spirit that had emerged was without any impurities—utterly translucent, attracting the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth as though undergoing a transformation seen only upon becoming an Immortal.

Yet, there were no unusual phenomena of Immortality here.

The new Primordial Spirit stretched, then slipped back into Li Ping’an’s chest.

Li Ping’an opened his eyes and let out a breath, and the vast Spiritual Energy within a hundred-mile radius surged towards him, fully absorbed by his Dao Body.

His Dao Realm did not increase, but his Mana soared!

Li Ping’an looked up at his master and smiled, “Master, your disciple knows how to resolve this predicament now!

Eh?

What’s with the divine bird in the sky?”

Qing Su gestured towards the Golden Immortals below.

Li Ping’an looked down and saw Venerable Tianli and several old men he did not recognize.

Having retracted his Spiritual Sense into his Primordial Spirit earlier, he was unaware of the surroundings, but now he quickly got to his feet and respectfully greeted them.

The six elderly Golden Immortals frowned and looked Li Ping’an up and down without speaking.

Venerable Tianli frowned and said, “Don’t make careless boasts!

Come here and meet these seniors, all ancient and exalted figures of our Human Race who now serve in the Eastern Alliance!”

“Ah, yes…

Father, this is Venerable Tianli!”

Li Dazhi chuckled sheepishly.

Indeed, he had been lectured by Venerable Tianli quite a bit these past few days and now truly did not dare to approach.
