The Longevity Family: Starting from the Foundation Establishment Ancestor

The Chaos Sea stretched endlessly, its gray currents like mist and sea, obscuring any divine sense. Han Mu stood beside the corpse of the Chaos Beast, his silver eyes scanning the surroundings, the laws of time flowing deep within his pupils.

"Which direction did Liu Ruyan and the others go...?" Han Mu frowned. The Chaos Sea was too vast, and the Heart of Time and Space had only been focused on getting him to safety, so it hadn't recorded the locations of the others. Now, trying to find them was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

He brought up the system panel to see if there was a tracking function.

There's no tracking function. Han Mu was somewhat troubled. He had just broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, expanding his divine sense range a hundredfold, capable of covering a radius of ten thousand miles. However, his divine sense was obstructed within the Chaos Sea, limiting his detection range to less than a hundred miles. With such a limited range, finding someone within the Chaos Sea was virtually impossible.

"That's the only option I can try." Han Mu took a deep breath and formed a hand seal. Silver light surged from his palms, condensing into a mirror in front of him. The image in the mirror was blurry, with countless light and shadows shifting—it was a reflection of the past.

Time travel – a glimpse into the past.

Han Mu wanted to rewind to the scene when Liu Ruyan and the others parted ways to see which direction they escaped in. But this was dangerous; the timeline of the Chaos Sea was in complete disarray, and forcibly peering into the past might backfire.

The image in the mirror gradually became clear, showing Han Mu and the others being chased by the chaotic behemoth. Han Mu saw that he had lured the behemoth away, and Liu Ruyan and the others were fleeing in the opposite direction. However, the chaotic energy was too dense, and he could only see them flee for about a hundred miles before the image blurred.

"Further away." Han Mu gritted his teeth and increased his output of immortal power. The image in the mirror continued to advance, passing through layers of chaotic air currents, and finally caught sight of several blurry figures.

It was Liu Ruyan and the others! But the situation was dire; they had been targeted by another chaotic behemoth. That behemoth was smaller than the one chasing Han Mu, but it was still a hundred miles long, and its aura was comparable to that of a peak Great Yi Jade Immortal.

Liu Ruyan and her six companions fought and retreated, but with nowhere to hide in the chaotic sea, they were quickly cornered by the giant beast. Han Mu saw Bai Ling unleash her natal flying sword, striking the giant beast and leaving only a white mark. Zhou Meng activated his magic weapon, slamming it into the giant beast's head, but the beast's skin wasn't even broken.

"This is troublesome." Han Mu's face darkened. Although this giant beast was not at the Dao Ancestor level, its defense was astonishing, and Liu Ruyan and the others couldn't break through its defenses at all.

The scene continued, and Han Mu saw that at the crucial moment, Luo Feng, that simpleton, suddenly pulled out a golden talisman, bit his tongue, and spat blood onto it. The talisman exploded, transforming into a golden light that swept the seven people away into the chaotic sea.

"A boundary-breaking talisman?" Han Mu was taken aback. Where did Luo Feng get such a life-saving treasure? Judging from the talisman's grade, it was at least Heaven-rank, and possibly even Immortal-rank.

Regardless, Luo Feng saved everyone. Han Mu breathed a sigh of relief and continued to rewind, wanting to see where the golden light had taken the seven people. But the scene ended there; the timeline of the Chaos Sea was too chaotic, and with his current strength, he could only rewind to this point.

"At least I have a way to save my life." Han Mu dispelled the Time Reversal, cold sweat beading on his forehead. Just that short while had consumed thirty percent of his immortal power. The time laws of the Chaos Sea were chaotic, and forcibly reversing time was too taxing.

He looked in the direction where the golden light disappeared, towards the depths of the Chaos Sea. Liu Ruyan and the others had been swept into the depths, where it was more dangerous, but for the time being, their lives were not in danger.

"Let's find Han Li and meet up first, then we'll figure out a way to find them," Han Mu decided. Han Li said that the Heavenly Court army was attacking the Netherworld Abyss, and the Netherworld Emperor was seriously injured, making this matter even more urgent. Moreover, Han Li had information about the true purpose of the Chaos Dao Venerable, so they had to meet as soon as possible.

Han Mu took out a communication jade slip and sent a message to Han Li: "I have left the Chaos Sea. See you at the Soul-Severing Valley in three days."

After sending the message, Han Mu flew towards the outer edge of the Chaos Sea. He had just refined the Time Dao Seed, and his realm was unstable; he needed to find a place to consolidate it. Moreover, his immortal spiritual energy was exhausted, and he needed to find a way to replenish it.

But Han Mu stopped after flying only a short distance. He looked to his left and saw dozens of auras rapidly approaching from within the chaotic air currents. Those auras were familiar; they belonged to the Heavenly Court.

"They caught up so quickly?" Han Mu narrowed his eyes. He had only stayed in the Chaos Sea for a few hours, and the Heavenly Court's people had already caught up with him. It seemed that the Heavenly Court was determined to obtain the Heart of Time and Space.

Thirty golden figures flew out from the chaotic energy flow, surrounding Han Mu. Leading them were three peak-stage Great Yi Jade Immortals, followed by twenty-seven mid-stage Great Yi Jade Immortals. This lineup was more than enough to wipe out a medium-sized sect.

"Han Mu, hand over the Heart of Time and Space, and I'll spare your corpse." The leading celestial general said coldly. He wore golden armor, held a halberd, and exuded an aura as sharp as a knife.

Han Mu glanced at them: thirty Great Yi Jade Immortals, three at the peak, and twenty-seven at the mid-stage. In the past, he would have had no choice but to run. But now…

"The Heavenly Court sent you useless trash to your deaths?" Han Mu laughed.

The three peak-level Heavenly Generals' expressions darkened. They had received orders that the target was only a late-stage Golden Immortal, so they had only brought subordinates at the Great Yi Jade Immortal level. They hadn't expected Han Mu to be so arrogant, daring to mock them.

"You're courting death!" a peak-level Heavenly General roared, swinging his halberd at Han Mu. The halberd's light shone like the moon, tearing through the chaotic air currents with astonishing power.

Han Mu stood still, without moving. He simply raised his hand and lightly touched the halberd's light.

"Time, turn back."

The halberd's light stopped three zhang away from Han Mu, then flew back at an even faster speed, slashing towards the heavenly general. The heavenly general's expression changed drastically; he tried to dodge, but his body felt like it was stuck in mud, his movements as slow as a snail.

"The law of time?!" another peak-level celestial general exclaimed, wanting to intervene, but it was too late.

The halberd flashed and struck the celestial general, shattering his golden armor like paper. The general screamed in agony as his body was severed in two, blood gushing forth. He wasn't dead yet; the vitality of a peak Great Yi Jade Immortal was immense, but he was certainly severely injured.

Han Mu didn't give him a chance to recover. He took a step forward, stood in front of the Heavenly General, and placed a palm on his head.

"Time, speed up."

The celestial general's body aged and withered at a visible rate, eventually turning into a skeleton that fell from the sky. From the moment the attack was made to the moment the kill was achieved, only three breaths had passed.

The remaining twenty-nine heavenly generals were dumbfounded. A peak Great Jade Immortal, considered a high-ranking warrior in the Heavenly Court, was actually instantly killed by a "late-stage Golden Immortal"?

"The intelligence is wrong! He's not a late-stage Golden Immortal, he's at least a Grand Luo Golden Immortal!" The second peak Heavenly General realized what was happening and roared, "Form the formation! Form the Heavenly Net Formation!"

The twenty-seven mid-stage Grand Jade Immortals quickly dispersed and formed a battle formation. Golden light surged from their bodies, weaving into a large net in the air, enveloping Han Mu. This was the Heavenly Court's trapping formation; once trapped, even a Grand Luo Golden Immortal would find it difficult to escape.

Han Mu looked up at the golden net and shook his head.

"A waste of time."

He formed a hand seal, and silver light surged from his body, condensing into a silver longsword in front of him. The blade was transparent, with the phantom of a river of time flowing within it.

"Blade of Time, Slash!"

Han Mu swung his sword, unleashing a silver blade of light. Wherever the light passed, time froze and space shattered. The golden net crumbled like paper before the blade's light, and the twenty-seven heavenly generals who had formed the array were reduced to ashes before they could even utter a scream.

With a single strike, he beheaded twenty-seven mid-stage Great Yi Jade Immortals.

The remaining two peak-level Heavenly Generals turned pale and fled. They realized that Han Mu was no ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal; his control over the laws of time had reached a terrifying level. This kind of being was beyond their ability to deal with.

"Can you escape?" Han Mu's voice rang in their ears.

The two celestial generals turned around and saw that Han Mu had appeared behind them at some point. His silver eyes were as cold as ice, and he raised the Blade of Time once more.

"No! We are heavenly generals. If you dare to kill us, the Heavenly Court will not let you off!" one of the heavenly generals roared, his voice trembling with fear.

Han Mu, too lazy to waste words, unleashed a slash. The silver blade flashed, and the two Heavenly Generals froze, then collapsed like sand sculptures, turning into dust.

Thirty heavenly generals were all wiped out.

Han Mu sheathed his sword, his face somewhat pale. The Blade of Time had consumed too much energy; at his current level, two consecutive strikes were already his limit. Moreover, his immortal spiritual energy was depleted, preventing him from recovering quickly.

"We need to get out of here as soon as possible." Han Mu looked around. The battle just now had caused too much noise, which might attract more Heavenly Court pursuers, or even other beings in the Chaos Sea.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly frowned and looked towards the depths of the Chaos Sea. There, a familiar aura was rapidly approaching.

Is it Liu Ruyan and the others?

No, something's wrong. This aura is more violent, more chaotic, filled with slaughter and destruction.

Han Mu's expression changed. He remembered—this was the aura of the chaotic behemoth that had been chasing Liu Ruyan and the others. That behemoth had caught up with them, and there were three of them!

Three colossal chaotic beasts, each a hundred miles long, burst forth from the chaotic energy, forming a triangular formation around Han Mu. Their auras were all stronger than the previous one, at least at the peak of the Great Yi Jade Immortal realm, and perhaps even approaching the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

"Tsk, troublesome." Han Mu gripped the Blade of Time tightly. In his current state, dealing with three chaotic behemoths of this level was a bit of a struggle.

But just then, a furious roar came from afar. Han Mu recognized the roar; it was Luo Feng's voice.

"Senior Han! We're here!"

Han Mu turned his head and saw Luo Feng, Liu Ruyan, Bai Ling, Zhou Meng, Li Qingzhu, Lin Fan, and Lin Xue emerge from the chaotic air currents. They looked disheveled, all injured, but still alive.

"Senior Han, help! There's a whole group behind us!" Luo Feng shouted as he ran.

Han Mu looked behind them, his pupils shrinking. Behind Luo Feng and the others, at least fifty Heavenly Generals were chasing them, all of them Great Yi Jade Immortals. Moreover, the leader was a middle-aged man wearing purple-gold armor, whose aura was clearly that of an early Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Heavenly general, a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

"This is really troublesome." Han Mu took a deep breath and raised the Blade of Time once again.

Three chaotic behemoths, fifty celestial generals, and one Grand Luo Golden Immortal general. This lineup is enough to surround and kill a mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

But he had no choice. Liu Ruyan and the others were fleeing this way, and he couldn't retreat.

"Come on." Han Mu's eyes shone brightly with silver light, and he activated the Law of Time at full power. "Let me see just how strong a Grand Luo Golden Immortal really is."
