The Longevity Family: Starting from the Foundation Establishment Ancestor

Three days later, the entrance to the Moon Realm opened.

Above Tianyuan City, a massive silver gate of light slowly opened, emanating intense spatial fluctuations. Hundreds of cultivators from various races gathered around the gate, including humans, demons, monsters, and spirits, all of whom were geniuses below the Void Refinement stage.

Han Yunge, Han Li, and Fairy Bingyue stood in the Han Cheng group, surrounded by other members of Han Cheng's entourage. Han Mu did not come in person, but instead sent Elder Xuanji to lead the group.

"After entering the Moon Realm, you will be randomly teleported to different areas," the Mysterious Elder instructed. "Follow the City Lord's instructions and reunite as soon as possible using the Heart-to-Heart Talisman. Remember, safety first, opportunity second."

"Yes." The three nodded.

With a chime of a bell, the portal stabilized completely. Cultivators from various races flew into the portal and disappeared.

Han Yunge and the other two exchanged a glance and then transformed into three streams of light, flying into the portal.

At the same time, an inconspicuous cultivator in a green robe quietly flew in from the crowd. This person was Han Mu's clone, "Han Feng," whose apparent cultivation level was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, making him inconspicuous among the many Void Refinement cultivators.

After a dizzying moment, Han Mu's clone appeared on an icy plain.

"Is this the Guanghan Realm?" Han Mu's clone sensed the surrounding chill. The spiritual energy in this realm was several times denser than that of the Spirit Realm, but the temperature was extremely low, making it difficult for ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators to stay here for long.

"Let's find the boundary marker first." Han Mu's clone took out a compass, a guiding artifact given to him by his main body, which could sense the location of the boundary marker. The compass needle pointed north, which was the core area of ​​the Guanghan Realm.

Just as Han Mu's clone was about to set off, he suddenly frowned. The sounds of fighting came from afar, mixed with the roars of demonic beasts.

"A Void Refinement level demonic beast?" Han Mu's clone sensed the battle fluctuations; it was at least at the mid-Void Refinement level. He initially didn't want to get involved, but then he thought again: his main body had sent him in not only to collect the boundary marker but also to look after Han Yunge and the other two. What if they were the ones in danger?

With a flash, Han Mu's clone flew towards the direction of the battle.

A hundred miles away, in an icy valley, Han Li was engaged in a fierce battle with a giant ice crystal python. The python was a hundred feet long, its entire body covered in ice crystal scales, and it exuded an aura that had reached the late stage of the Void Refinement realm.

Han Li wielded the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, its blade flashing like rain, yet it could only leave shallow white marks on the giant python's body. The python's defenses were too strong, and its chilling breath could freeze spiritual energy, making it extremely difficult for Han Li to fight it.

"Damn it, we've already encountered this kind of monster as soon as we entered." Han Li's expression was grave. This giant ice crystal python was far too powerful. Although he had trump cards, he didn't want to use them so soon. The Guanghan Realm had only just begun, and there were many more dangers to come.

Just then, the giant python suddenly opened its maw and spewed out a thick beam of icy blue light, freezing the space in its path. Han Li's expression changed drastically; the power of this beam of light had reached the peak of the Void Refinement stage, and he couldn't withstand it!

"Retreat!" Han Li didn't hesitate and was about to use his escape technique to avoid it.

But the beam of light was too fast and was about to hit Han Li. Just then, a figure in cyan suddenly appeared in front of Han Li and reached out to grab him.

"puff--"

The icy blue light pillar, powerful enough to freeze even a peak-stage Void Refinement cultivator, was actually shattered by that hand!

Han Li's pupils contracted as he looked at the figure. It was a cultivator in a green robe with an ordinary face and a cultivation level of only the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but the move he just made was definitely beyond the capabilities of someone in the Nascent Soul realm.

"Thank you for saving me, senior!" Han Li said respectfully, though he was puzzled. In the cultivation world, strength is paramount. The fact that the other party could easily neutralize the attack of a late-stage Void Refinement demon beast meant that he was at least at the peak of the Void Refinement stage or even the Integration stage.

"No need for formalities," Han Mu's clone said calmly, glancing at the giant ice crystal python. "You beast, why aren't you backing down?"

The giant ice crystal python seemed to sense the danger, hissing threateningly, but dared not approach. It was quite intelligent, able to sense the terrifying power contained within this seemingly weak cultivator.

After a brief standoff, the giant ice serpent finally retreated, twisting its body and disappearing into the ice.

Han Li breathed a sigh of relief and bowed again: "Junior Han Li, may I ask how you should address me, senior?"

"My name is Han Feng, a rogue cultivator," Han Mu's clone said. "You are Han Li? I've heard of you, the genius of Han City."

Han Li's heart skipped a beat. Han Feng? Also surnamed Han? And what a coincidence that he appeared here to save him? Was it a coincidence or...?

"Does Senior know my city lord?" Han Li asked tentatively.

"Who doesn't know the name of City Lord Han Mu?" Han Mu's clone laughed. "Alright, this place is not safe to stay any longer. You should leave quickly. The Guanghan Realm is fraught with danger; do not act alone."

After saying that, Han Mu's clone vanished in a flash.

Han Li stood there, lost in thought. The appearance of this Senior Han Feng was too coincidental, and his strength was unfathomable; his early Nascent Soul stage cultivation was definitely a facade. Could he have been sent by the city lord to secretly protect them?

"Never mind, let's meet up with Yun Ge and Bing Yue first." Han Li took out the Heart-Connecting Talisman and sensed that Han Yun Ge was in the southeast and Bing Yue Fairy was in the due north, neither of them were close.

He chose to go southeast to find Han Yunge first. The Ice Moon Fairy cultivates cold-attribute techniques and thrives in the Guanghan Realm; she should be safer there.

What Han Li didn't know was that Han Mu's clone hadn't gone far; instead, it was hidden in the shadows, watching him leave.

"Han Li's luck isn't great; he ran into a late-stage Void Refinement demon beast right away." Han Mu's clone shook his head. "Looks like we'll have to follow him for a while and make sure he arrives at Medicine King Valley safely."

However, before that, he needs to collect the boundary marker. Han Li has a Heart-to-Heart Talisman, so Han Yunge and Fairy Bingyue can sense if they encounter danger. Moreover, he has given them so many life-saving talismans, so they should be fine for a short time.

Han Mu's clone took out the compass and continued flying north.

The Guanghan Realm is vast, larger than even a single domain of the Spirit Realm. Han Mu's clone flew for three days before reaching the edge of the core area. The temperature here was even lower, as if space itself were frozen, making it unbearable even for ordinary Void Refinement cultivators.

"Such strong chill." Han Mu's clone circulated his cultivation technique to dispel the cold. Although he only possessed 30% of his main body's strength, he still had the combat power of an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, so he could withstand this bit of chill.

After flying for another half day, an ice palace appeared ahead. The ice palace was magnificent and grand, made entirely of ten-thousand-year-old black ice, and exuded a faint ethereal aura.

"Cold Moon Palace?" Han Mu's clone recognized the palace. According to the information given by his main body, this was where the Ice Moon Fairy's opportunity lay. However, he didn't have time to go in now; the boundary marker was still deeper inside.

After bypassing the Cold Moon Palace, they continued north. After flying another thousand miles, a frozen lake appeared ahead, with an ice platform in the center and an ancient stone tablet floating on it.

The stone tablet was ten feet tall and three feet wide, entirely grayish-white, with densely packed runes engraved on its surface. Although it looked ordinary, Han Mu's clone could sense that this stone tablet contained terrifying power, as if it could suppress an entire world.

"This is the boundary marker? A damaged immortal artifact?" A glint flashed in Han Mu's clone's eyes. He could sense that this stone tablet was connected to the entire Guanghan Realm. If he could refine it, he could partially control this realm.

However, there were powerful restrictions surrounding the boundary marker, and more than one. Han Mu's clone carefully sensed them and discovered at least three restrictions, all of which were ancient immortal arrays. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be injured if they forcibly broke through them.

"No wonder no one has been able to take the boundary marker all these years," Han Mu's clone understood. The Guanghan Realm opens once every three thousand years, and geniuses from all races enter each time, but the boundary marker has always been here, which means that no one can break the restriction.

"However, this is no problem for me." Han Mu's clone took out the barrier-breaking talisman given to him by his main body. This was a celestial talisman exchanged with system contribution points, specially designed to break ancient restrictions. It was worth 10,000 contribution points, but his main body only exchanged for two and gave one to him.

"break!"

Han Mu's clone activated the barrier-breaking talisman, which transformed into a golden light that shot towards the barrier. Wherever the golden light passed, the barrier melted away like ice and snow, rapidly disintegrating.

The three ancient immortal formations collapsed completely after only three breaths against the barrier-breaking talisman.

Just as Han Mu's clone was about to step forward to collect the town's boundary marker, he suddenly felt a warning and retreated rapidly.

"boom!"

A bolt of black lightning descended from the sky, striking the spot where he had just stood. Had he not retreated quickly, this attack would have severely injured him.

"Who?" Han Mu's clone shouted coldly.

In the void, three figures slowly emerged. A young man in a golden robe, an old man in a black robe, and a woman in a green dress, representing the demon race, the monster race, and the spirit race, respectively.

"Human cultivator, impressive skill, managing to break the barrier of the boundary marker." The golden-robed youth said calmly, a glint of greed in his eyes. "Hand over the barrier-breaking talisman, and I'll spare your life."

Han Mu's clone glanced at the three. The golden-robed youth was at the peak of the Void Refinement stage, his true form being a golden dragon; he should be the Golden Dragon Prince of the demon race. The black-robed elder was at the late stage of the Void Refinement stage, a demon race cultivator with a cold aura. The woman in the green dress was also at the late stage of the Void Refinement stage, a spirit race member, surrounded by a rich life force.

When three experts at the late stage of the Void Refinement realm join forces, even ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators would have to retreat.

"Just you guys?" Han Mu's clone laughed.

"You're courting death!" The Golden Dragon Prince roared in fury, transforming into a golden light as he charged forward. He wanted to personally tear this arrogant human to shreds.

However, the next second, the Golden Dragon Prince was sent flying back at an even faster speed, with a bloody hole in his chest.

"What?!" The black-robed elder and the green-skirted woman's expressions changed drastically. They hadn't even seen how Han Mu's clone had made his move!

"Attack together!" the black-robed elder roared, summoning a black banner from which countless ghostly figures surged forth. The woman in the green dress formed hand seals, and countless vines emerged from beneath the ice, coiling towards Han Mu's clone.

Han Mu's clone shook his head and pointed out with a finger.

"Certainly."

The Time Law activated, freezing all three experts in place. The difference between the Void Refinement and Body Integration realms, coupled with the terrifying power of the Time Law, left them utterly powerless to resist.

"Destroy." Han Mu's clone pointed again, and three beams of Five Elements Divine Light shot out, piercing the foreheads of the three people.

Three great masters have fallen.

Han Mu's clone put away the three people's storage rings, looked at the town boundary marker, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Now, it's mine."
