My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 459 Reason
"Clan leader! The mountain-protecting formation has been broken!"

A disciple of the Li family rushed in, his voice trembling, and cried out in terror.

"Clan leader, the Crimson-browed Demon we hired at great expense has run away! We can't find him anywhere in that side hall!"

Another person rushed in, looking anxious.

"The enemy has breached the valley entrance, and all the traps set outside have been broken! Chieftain, what should we do next?!"

"Chieftain, should we fight to the death or retreat immediately? We urge you to make a swift decision!"

"What about the Ancestor? This is a critical moment for the life and death of the Li family. We implore the Ancestor to take action immediately!"

Deep in the valley, inside the magnificent hall hidden among layers of clouds and mist, the atmosphere was so heavy it was almost suffocating.

Many of the Li family members were covered in blood. They staggered as they rushed in from outside the hall, their faces filled with panic.

At this time,
From the direction of the valley entrance, a tremendous roar, like rolling thunder, came continuously.

If you stand on high ground and look into the distance, you can see the flashes of magical light, and the resulting collisions and booming sounds cause the ground to tremble.

That's clear evidence that the enemy is rapidly advancing!

Every flash of inspiration was like a heavy hammer blow, striking the hearts of the Li family!
The demonic cultivators who had come to provide support from outside had already mostly left.

Only members of the Li family remained in Jue Tian Valley.
In addition, the Ancient Sword Sect has been continuously depleting its resources over the past five days.
The power of the Li family within Jue Tian Valley has already been greatly weakened!
Now that the mountain-protecting formation has been broken...
It was like tearing open an irreparable wound, allowing the enemy to advance unimpeded!

Despite the Li family's operation here for hundreds, even thousands of years, and the valley being filled with meticulously designed traps and obstacles, the valley has been a place of great potential for development.
But in the face of absolute power, all of these seem so vulnerable!
The methods that could originally delay cultivators in the early to mid-stages of the Nascent Soul realm were completely ineffective against those in the late Nascent Soul stage, especially those at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm, and were shattered by a single blow from a distance!
With the sword leaving no trace, and the Ouyang family head at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage serving as the vanguard...

They practically slaughtered their way through!
No one can stop it!

and,

Using them as the target,

A group of cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage were rapidly pouring in behind them!
As you can imagine,

Not long after that
The entire Jue Tian Valley is about to fall!
"Clan leader!"

The surrounding members of the Li family all turned their anxious gazes toward Li Changzun, the head of the Li family.

At this time,
Li Changzun's face turned extremely ugly, and his fists clenched involuntarily.

The fingernail dug into the flesh, and blood flowed out.

But Li Changzun seemed completely unaware.

He no longer cared about these things.

"Damn it! How could things have gotten so bad?!"

Li Changzun's face was also somewhat pale at this moment.

In just five days,
The protective formation of the mountain had already been broken.

The enemy advanced unimpeded.

Destruction seems imminent!

This filled Li Changzun with anger, but also stirred a fear he dared not imagine!
Is the Li family, with its 800-year heritage, destined to fall into my hands today?

Do not!
Absolutely not!

this moment,
Li Changzun's eyes were bloodshot.

He admitted,
He definitely made a mistake!

He shouldn't have underestimated the fighting power of that brat named Shen Changchuan. This led to their defeat in the great battle five days ago.
This has ultimately led to the current one-sided situation!
But his general direction is correct!

The Li family has been entrenched in this Jue Tian Valley for the past eight hundred years, and it's not just because they are attached to their homeland.

The unique environment of Jue Tian Valley has a great effect on the Li family and their natal spirit gu, the Flying Sky Splitting Spirit Ant!
Once the Li family leaves Jue Tian Valley...
Losing the resources of Jue Tian Valley,

Their family will lose the foundation upon which they depend for survival, and thus gradually decline!

Also because of this,

Even though Li Changzun knew very well in his heart,

Currently, the situation in the Southern Yue Kingdom is largely in favor of the Righteous Alliance of the Southern Region.

Even after the Demonic Alliance's defeat in the Battle of Broken Soul Mountain, the location of their Absolute Heaven Valley was extremely dangerous, making it impossible for them to remain there any longer.
Li Changzun dared not easily give up the Jue Tian Valley, a crucial foundation for the Li family!

"My strategy was correct!"

"Without the foundation of Jue Tian Valley, the Flying Sky-Splitting Spirit Ants cannot be cultivated, and my Li family will eventually decline and even perish!"

"The only way to change all this is to gain greater benefits before leaving Jue Tian Valley and find another way out for the family!"

"Therefore, Shen Changchuan must be captured!"

"This is not only for the reward from the Demonic Alliance, but also for the favor of two old demons who stand at the pinnacle of demonic cultivation in the Southern Yue Kingdom."

"This is also because the Minghuan Gu Scripture fragment in that brat's possession might allow my Li family's natal spirit Gu, the Flying Sky Splitting Spirit Ant, to continue its inheritance even after we leave Jue Tian Valley!"

Li Changzun's eyes were bloodshot.

Like a crazed gambler about to lose all his money.

He certainly has his reasons.

The great battle at Broken Soul Mountain a year or two ago, which led to the defeat of the Southern Yue Kingdom's Demonic Alliance, made Shen Changchuan's name known to almost everyone in both places!
Simultaneously,

Shen Changchuan's improved secret technique for controlling Gu, as well as the method for large-scale industrial cultivation of Gu worms, have also been passed down.

Even the Demonic Path Alliance had heard about it.

Some powerful families specializing in Gu cultivation even sent people to capture individuals and force them to reveal the secrets of Gu control techniques and the key points of industrialized Gu breeding.

Although the Li family is a reclusive demonic family that rarely leaves the Jue Tian Valley, they naturally have their own information channels and connections.

Not long ago, they also naturally obtained the secret technique of controlling Gu, which had recently shone brightly on the battlefield of Broken Soul Mountain.

The Li family's top brass were overjoyed to have obtained these two key points.

Although the Flying Spirit Ants are powerful...
However, due to their limited reproductive capacity, they were unable to produce ants on a large scale and it was extremely difficult to cultivate an ant king. As a result, the Li family had to hide away and live in the Jue Tian Valley.

To avoid revealing their true nature to the outside world and attracting the attention of those old demons in the Divine Travel Realm.

However, along with the secret techniques of controlling Gu poison and industrialized breeding methods,
It seems there's a solution to the problem!
However, once the breeding problem of the Flying Spirit Ants is solved, and even through large-scale industrialized breeding, allowing them to fight each other and eventually evolve into ant kings,

Then,

Wielding several Flying Sky-Splitting Spirit Ants, each capable of releasing a trace of spatial power, they dared to hunt even those at the Divine Travel Realm!

With such powerful means,

The higher-ups of the Li family could even seize the opportunity to advance to the Divine Ascension Realm by relying on their unparalleled martial prowess.

From that moment on, he achieved the Divine Travel Realm, gaining four hundred years of lifespan, and roamed freely between heaven and earth!
However, as long as the Flying Spirit Ant King is successfully bred in large numbers...

This is very likely!
