Immortal Father
Chapter 327 - 327 121 Already Time to Return

327: Chapter 121 Already Time to Return 327: Chapter 121 Already Time to Return “Eastern Alliance Patrol Envoy Li Ping’an, pays respects to all the seniors.”

Li Ping’an bowed respectfully, and the six senior Golden Immortals each nodded with a smile.

Xu Sheng led Li Dazhi forward, Xiaoyue supported Mu Cilin following behind, Wen Rou, Xinhuai Wang, Zisang, and others also gathered around.

Only Qing Su, who disliked crowds, willingly retreated to a corner of the Fountain of Youth.

Her face veiled, she looked up at the Qingluan in the sky, admiring its graceful figure, all the while pondering two questions.

The first question was, why hadn’t this bird come down yet.

The second question was more offensive…

Over here, the elder Tianli smiled warmly at Mu Cilin and said in all seriousness, “Ping’an, let’s not discuss anything else for now.

You just had a breakthrough, and you mentioned you can resolve the crisis between the Fountain of Youth and the Mu family?”

The elder looked up at the Qingluan circling in the sky and chuckled:

“Given that, this must also be a test from the Queen Mother of the West for you.

Such an opportunity is rare indeed; the Queen Mother of the West is quite generous in her gifts.

“Ping’an, don’t be nervous, take your time and explain.”

“Yes!”

Li Ping’an bowed to Tianli in the manner of an Eastern Alliance immortal general.

He said seriously, “The junior did not speak rashly earlier; there is a solution to the situation here.”

“Oh?

Ping’an, is it?”

One of the older healers in the Immortal Realm, stroking his beard, smiled and said:

“I have practiced medicine since ancient times, saving countless lives.

Today, however, I find myself asking you for an answer.

“How do you propose to sever the spiritual power within Mu Cilin, detach Mu Cilin’s own soul, and untangle these from the Fountain of Youth itself?

“Even if we were to use soul-cutting or soul-fusing techniques, it’s likely we’d face backlash from the Fountain of Youth.”

“The senior speaks the truth; the problem is indeed difficult to solve, and it’s not for me to resolve.”

Li Ping’an bowed and said:

“The junior chanced upon the principles beneath the Fountain of Youth by accident.

“Just now, as all of you have witnessed, the junior received a method of Spiritual Transformation, which allows my Primordial Spirit to undergo a metamorphosis and gain numerous benefits.”

Several elders nodded individually.

Li Ping’an smiled and said, “The key lies with this method of Spiritual Transformation.

We need to extract the mass of spiritual power from Aunt Mu Cilin’s body, have the junior perform the Spiritual Transformation technique, and then use the power of the Fountain of Youth itself to separate the tangled consciousness.”

Several elders had their doubts.

“The power of the Fountain of Youth itself?”

“This method of Spiritual Transformation is also unheard of and unseen.”

Tianli, intending to boost Li Ping’an’s profile in front of the Golden Immortals of the Eastern Alliance, asked gently:

“Ping’an, how did you come to understand the principles beneath the Fountain of Youth?

Don’t be reticent, share with us.”

“Alas, as commanded by the senior.”

Li Ping’an sighed deeply, turned to look at the Fountain of Youth, and began to explain his recent enlightenment as concisely as possible:

“Life and death are the laws of nature, prolonging life and avoiding death are the practices of The Great Dao.

“But such prolonging of life comes at a price, just like the Fountain of Youth, which also requires a certain price to be effective.

“That price is…

those 3,600 badly wounded immortal soldiers of the Human Race who followed Li Mu’s daughter in hiding here.

“They made it here, then sacrificed themselves, infusing all their vitality into the Fountain of Youth, causing it to flow with water, which is their gift.

“The Fountain of Youth is not just a spring.

“A spring has its source in water, and the Innate Spiritual Root Fountain of Youth in West Kunlun can’t be moved.

“This Fountain of Youth here should be crafted following the ‘Method of the Eternal Spring’ bestowed to the Human Race by the Queen Mother of the West, by the ancient human sages.

“Burn my withered body, forge the Eternal Spring.

“Preserve the spark of life, for the use of future generations.

“Those 3,600 immortal soldiers and generals laid down their armors here, stacked them into little hills, left their marks on that stele, and then plunged into the Fountain of Youth.

“That’s why the stele reads ‘burial place’.

“Thus came this Fountain of Youth.”

Li Ping’an paused his narrative, as the crowd reflected with emotion.

After pondering for a while, Li Ping’an continued:

“Li Mu’s daughter must have not yet begun cultivating, or perhaps she herself was one of those 3,600 desperately injured members of the Human Race.

“But she had to use the water to transform her broken body and be reborn.

“After all, this Fountain of Youth is only a replica; it’s not an Innate Spiritual Root, so it has inherent flaws, which were compensated for by Li Mu’s daughter.

“Li Mu’s daughter, following her promise, passed down from generation to generation, guarding the Fountain of Youth in this place, leading the propagation of the Human Race here.

In the constant cycle of life and death, she gradually lost her sense of self.

Eventually, the newly born spirit didn’t know to immediately eliminate the old body, mistaking the Fountain of Youth for reproductive use.

“Or perhaps, Li Mu’s daughter guarded the Fountain of Youth precisely for this incorrect usage.

I have estimated that with it, within a short time, it could double a population of several millions or even tens of millions.

“For mortals, to have offspring at the age of forty and then pass away is considered an ordinary life’s journey.

“That is the secret of this Fountain of Youth.”

Upon hearing this, everyone showed a sense of reflection.

3,600 gravely injured immortal soldiers sacrificed themselves to forge this Fountain of Youth;

Li Mu’s daughter guarded it for 70,000 years, passing on the torch of hope.

Li Dazhi muttered to himself beside them, “The path of the Human Race’s rise has been so tragic.”

The elder Tianli sighed, “It’s far more tragic than you imagine, but it’s all history now.

Your best effort now is what counts…

Ping’an, continue.”

“Yes.”

Li Ping’an bowed and said:

“Once I understood why the Fountain of Youth came to be, I realized…

the mass of spiritual power within Ningning’s mother’s body has no solution but outright annihilation.

“My junior sister, in essence, has transformed through one thousand six hundred generations of Li Mu’s daughters.”
