The Longevity Family: Starting from the Foundation Establishment Ancestor

The white-robed old man's figure was ethereal and his aura was weak, clearly a manifestation of lingering remnants of his spirit, but his eyes were as deep as the starry sky, as if they could see through everything.

"Senior is..." Zhou Meng subconsciously took a half step back, looking at the old man warily.

"I am the seventh generation successor of Shi Shou, with the Daoist name Shi Chen. In the past, I fought a great battle with Shi Zun, and my physical body was destroyed. Only a wisp of my spirit remained attached to this fragment, waiting for the arrival of the successor of Shi Shou," the old man said slowly, his gaze falling on Han Mu.

"Young friend, you are able to kill the remnant of the demon god with your Taiyi body, which is amazing talent. However, your time law is not pure enough, and it seems that you have taken a shortcut."

Han Mu was shocked. At this moment, Chen actually saw through his secrets at a glance.

"Senior has keen insight. My time law was indeed forcibly enhanced through external means, and therefore has flaws."

"It's alright. Since you've come here, it's fate. My lingering remnant will is about to dissipate, so I'll bestow upon you a great fortune."

Shi Chen raised his hand and pointed, a golden light entering Han Mu's brow.

Han Mu's body trembled as a flood of information rushed into his mind, all of which were insights into the laws of time, a hundred times more profound than the inheritance he had previously received.

"This is my lifelong understanding of the laws of time, which includes the complete second part of the Time Guardian inheritance. Study it carefully, and it may help you break through to the Great Luo realm in the future."

"Thank you, senior." Han Mu clasped his hands in thanks. This inheritance was extremely important to him, as it perfectly compensated for the flaws in the laws of time.

"No need to thank me. I also have my own selfish motives. The Time Lord is a wolf in sheep's clothing, attempting to control the entire River of Time. Someone must stop him, and you are the most suitable candidate."

Shi Chen looked at Zhou Meng with lingering regret.

"Young man, now that you have obtained the Time Guardian Mark, you are the successor of the Time Guardian lineage. This fragment contains a portion of the Time Guardian lineage's power, which you can absorb and refine to help you break through to the peak of Taiyi."

As he spoke, the fragment shone brightly, and a surge of pure time power flowed into Zhou Meng's body. Zhou Meng's aura began to surge, and in the blink of an eye, he broke through to the late stage of Taiyi and reached his peak.

"This..." Zhou Meng was both surprised and delighted. He quickly sat down cross-legged and absorbed the power with all his might.

Luo Feng watched with envy, rubbing his hands together as he asked.

"Senior, um, I'm one of you too, Fatty. Is there anything in return for me?"

Shi Chen glanced at Luo Feng, shook his head, and chuckled.

"The cultivation technique you practice is unrelated to time, so I can't help you with that, but..."

Shi Chen looked at Han Mu with lingering regret.

"Young friend, your friend has a special physique, a rare Chaos Body, but his bloodline has not yet awakened. I have a fragment of the Chaos Scripture here, which may be useful to him."

Another golden light flew out and entered Luo Feng's brow.

Luo Feng was stunned at first, then overjoyed.

"The Chaos Scripture, that name sounds powerful. Thank you, senior."

Han Li stood to the side, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

Shi Chen Can Nian seemed to see through Han Li's thoughts and smiled.

"You are skilled in spacetime formations and have good talent, but your foundation is not solid enough. I will pass on to you a true explanation of spacetime formations, which can make up for your shortcomings."

A third golden light shot out and entered Han Li's brow.

Han Li's body trembled, a look of understanding flashed in his eyes, and he quickly bowed in greeting.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior."

The remnant of Shi Chen's spirit grew even weaker, and his body began to become transparent.

"Alright, I've given you everything I could. It's time for this old man's lingering spirit to dissipate. One last reminder: the Time Lord has already sensed your presence and will be sending people soon. Hurry up and improve your strength."

"Wait, senior, this fragment..." Han Mu pointed to the fifth fragment that was floating.

"You can take the fragment, but be careful. Shi Zun is also collecting fragments. He has already collected six pieces. He only needs one more piece to open the Coffin of Origin. At that time, all the heavens and myriad worlds will fall."

"Where is the last piece?"

"At the source of time, in the lair of the Time Lord, there are heavy troops guarding the place. With your current strength, going there would be suicide."

After Shi Chen finished speaking, his body completely dissipated, turning into specks of golden light that merged into Zhou Meng's body.

Zhou Meng's aura surged again, and he was only one step away from becoming a Grand Luo Immortal.

Han Mu remained silent for a moment, then reached out and grabbed the fifth fragment. The fragment was cold to the touch, and contained a more concentrated power of time than any of the previous fragments.

Han Mu brought up the system panel and quickly scanned it.

Name: Han Mu

[True Realm: Peak of Taiyi Jade Immortal]

[Time Rule: 98.5%]

[Status: Severely injured, urgently needs medical treatment]

[Celestial Aura: -2500 points]

[System Notification: Obtained the Time Dust Inheritance; the flaws in the Time Laws have begun to be repaired; three days of seclusion are expected.]

[Mission: Collect all fragments (Completed 7/7)]

[New Mission: Break Through to the Great Luo]

All seven fragments were collected, but Han Mu was in no hurry to fuse them, because Shi Chen said that Shi Zun was also collecting fragments and had already collected six of them, with only the last one missing.

"My lord, what should we do now? Should we go heal our wounds first or go directly to the source of time?" Han Li asked.

"I'll heal my injuries first, and while I'm at it, I'll study Senior Shi Chen's legacy. Once I break through to the Great Luo realm, I'll go to the source of time and meet Shi Zun." Han Mu made his decision.

"Your Majesty is wise. I, Fatty, also need to go into seclusion. This Chaos Scripture is too profound. I must study it carefully," Luo Feng said excitedly.

"I also need to go into seclusion. The Time Guardian Mark has awakened some of its memories, and I need time to digest them," Zhou Meng said.

"Alright, then we'll go into seclusion here. Han Li, set up an array to prevent anyone from disturbing us."

Han Li nodded, took out the array plate and array flags, and began to set up the array.

Han Mu sat down cross-legged, took out all the fragments, and began to comprehend Shi Chen's inheritance.

The inheritance of Time Dust is indeed profound, encompassing all aspects of the laws of time, from the basics to the advanced.

Han Mu was immersed in his enlightenment, and the flaws in the laws of time were gradually repaired, and his understanding of the laws of time became deeper and deeper.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Han Mu slowly opened his eyes, and the illusory image of the River of Time flowed within them. His aura was several times stronger than before.

The law of time, 99%.

His cultivation level had reached the limit of Taiyi Jade Immortal, just one step away from becoming a Daluo.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough, Master." Han Li was the first to sense Han Mu's emergence from seclusion and quickly offered his congratulations.

"Well, how's it going for you guys?"

"My bloodline has awakened by 10%, and my strength has skyrocketed. Now, fighting a peak Taiyi cultivator is a piece of cake," Luo Feng said excitedly, waving his fist.

"I've absorbed the memories of the Time Guardian Mark, and my control over the power of time has become more proficient. I've also learned several Time Guardian secret techniques," Zhou Meng said.

"I've also broken through. My spacetime array technique has reached the Grandmaster level, and I can now set up Grand Luo-level arrays." Han Li rarely showed a smile.

Han Mu nodded in satisfaction. With the team's overall strength improved, they were more confident about reaching the source of the time.

"My lord, when shall we depart?" Zhou Meng asked.

"Let's leave now, but there's one more thing to take care of before we go."

Han Mu looked up at the top of the well, where several auras were peering in; it seemed that those who had escaped earlier had returned.

"Elder Yin, come out. Hiding is pointless."

Several figures descended from the well: Elder Yin and a few remnants of the Reverse Time Alliance. In addition, there was a red-haired elder from Burning Heaven Valley, the leader of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, and the head of a hidden family.

"Fellow Daoist Han is indeed formidable, capable of slaying even the remnant spirit of a demon god. I admire you greatly," Elder Yin said with a fist salute, but his eyes gleamed with greed.

"Enough with the nonsense. If you want the fragments, just say so. No need to beat around the bush," Han Mu said coldly.

"Fellow Daoist Han is straightforward. Since that's the case, I won't hold back anymore. Hand over the fragments, and we can let you leave." The red-haired elder stepped forward, releasing his full aura as a peak Taiyi cultivator.

"You few don't even dare to steal my things." Han Mu laughed, a cold laugh.

"Fellow Daoist Han, although you are powerful, you are only one person. We have five Taiyi Peak experts on our side. Are you sure you want to fight?" the patriarch of the hidden family said in a deep voice.

"Five peak Taiyi cultivators, is that a lot?" Han Mu took a step forward, and the Law of Time unfolded, enveloping all five of them.

"In my eyes, you are no different from ants."

Before he finished speaking, Han Mu had already appeared in front of the red-haired old man and struck out with his palm.

The red-haired old man's expression changed drastically. It was too late to dodge; he could only take the hit head-on.

boom.

The red-haired old man was sent flying backward, crashing into the well wall and vomiting blood.

"Attack together!" Elder Yin shouted, and the four of them attacked simultaneously.

Han Mu neither dodged nor evaded, letting the attacks land on him. He activated the Time Reversal, and all the attacks were reversed.

"This is impossible!" Elder Yin exclaimed in horror, then turned and fled.

"Do you think you can escape?" Han Mu raised his hand and pointed, freezing time in place, with all five of them frozen in place.

"In your next life, remember to keep your eyes open."

Han Mu waved his hand, and five heads flew up, their souls and spirits annihilated.

"My lord, your strength has increased so drastically! You wiped out five peak Taiyi cultivators in one move!" Luo Feng was dumbfounded.

"Having broken through to 99% of the Time Law, I'm only one step away from becoming a Great Luo Immortal. Killing them will naturally be easy," Han Mu said calmly, as if he had done something insignificant.

"Let's go to the source of time and meet the Time Lord."

Han Mu collected the fragments and led the three away from the Sealed Demon Well.

Outside the well, those who had been spying had long since vanished without a trace, clearly terrified by Han Mu's strength.

The four returned to the Bone Dragon. Han Li piloted the Bone Dragon, breaking through the void and flying towards the source of time.

The Source of Time is located at the end of the River of Time, where the Time Lord's lair is also the location of the last fragment.

This journey is destined to be filled with bloodshed.
