The Longevity Family: Starting from the Foundation Establishment Ancestor

On the way back to Wanxiang Tiancheng, Han Mu kept thinking about countermeasures. The Third Elder's plan was very meticulous. He used the Chaos Array to trap all the experts of the Reverse Time Alliance, and then sacrificed their essence to help the Chaos Body break through to the Immortal Emperor. This move was indeed quite grand.

"My lord, we've arrived at the Shadow Auction House," Zhou Meng reminded him.

Han Mu looked up and saw the Shadow Auction House right in front of him. It was still in its dilapidated state, but inside it was the largest intelligence center of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly City.

Although Ying Sanqian's cultivation was completely destroyed, the prestige of the Shadow Auction House remained. When the guards at the entrance saw Ying Sanqian, they quickly bowed.

"Owner, you're back."

"Yes, arrange a few quiet rooms. These are my distinguished guests, and no one is allowed to disturb them," Ying Sanqian instructed.

"Yes."

Han Mu and his group of five were arranged in a separate courtyard. Ying Sanqian also followed them in. Now that his cultivation was completely destroyed, he could only rely on Han Mu's protection.

"Shadow Three Thousand, how much do you know about the Third Elder? Tell me in detail," Han Mu asked directly after sitting down.

"The Third Elder is a veteran of the Reverse Time Alliance, with a cultivation level of late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal. He is proficient in formations, and the Chaos Formation was set up under his command. He has seven Grand Luo Loose Immortals and thirty-six Taiyi Jade Immortals under his command, making him very powerful," Ying Sanqian answered truthfully.

"Seven Great Luo Immortals are a bit troublesome, but they're not insurmountable," Han Mu pondered.

"Senior Han, although the Third Elder is powerful, he is not monolithic. Of the seven Great Luo Loose Immortals under his command, four joined him under pressure, and only three are truly loyal," Ying Sanqian added.

"Oh, which three are loyal?"

"Blood Fiend, Black Wind, and Dry Bones are three assassins, absolutely loyal to the Third Elder. The remaining four, Ghost Hand, Poison Scorpion, Yin Fiend, and Phantom, were all forced into it, especially Phantom, who was controlled by the Third Elder with poison and has always wanted to break free," Ying Sanqian said.

"Phantom, a woman?"

"Yes, Phantom is a well-known rogue cultivator in Myriad Manifestations City, a mid-stage Great Luo Immortal, skilled in illusion techniques. Three years ago, he was controlled by the Third Elder with Soul-Devouring Poison and had no choice but to serve him," Ying Sanqian said.

Han Mu's eyes lit up. If there was a breakthrough, things would be easier. Although the Soul-Devouring Poison was powerful, it was not incurable.

"Shadow Three Thousand, do you have a way to contact Phantom?"

"Yes, Phantom comes to the Shadow Auction House every three days to buy antidote pills. Although they can't cure the Soul-Devouring Poison, they can relieve the pain. Tomorrow is the day she comes to buy the medicine," Ying Sanqian said.

"Okay, I'll try to contact her tomorrow. If we can win over Phantom, our chances of winning will be much greater." Han Mu nodded.

"My lord, what should we do with the remaining three assassins, and the Third Elder himself? He's a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, not easy to deal with," Zhou Meng said worriedly.

"Leave the Third Elder to me. As for those three assassins, try to hold them off. You don't need to kill them, just keep them occupied. I'll deal with the Third Elder first, then I'll take care of them," Han Mu said.

"It's a bit difficult to hold off three Great Luo Immortals, but it's not impossible. Han Li, do you have any way to set up an array to trap them?" Zhou Meng looked at Han Li.

Han Li pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"Yes, I can set up a trapping immortal formation, but it requires the blessing of the time law from the master to integrate the time turbulence into the formation. This will trap a Grand Luo Loose Immortal for a period of time, but it can only last for a maximum of one hour."

"An hour is enough. Luo Feng, you're in charge of protecting Han Li's formation. Lao Zhou, you and I will deal with the Third Elder. Ying Sanqian, you're in charge of providing support and be ready to come to our aid at any time," Han Mu assigned the tasks.

"Yes," the crowd replied.

"Fatty, what are you laughing at?" Han Mu looked at Luo Feng, who was trying not to laugh.

"My lord, I was thinking, if the Third Elder knew that we had plotted against him like this, would he be so angry that he would vomit blood? He had worked so hard to plan this for so long, and we wiped him out in one fell swoop. That scene would definitely be quite a spectacle," Luo Feng said with a smile.

"Fatty is right. The Third Elder schemed and plotted, but in the end, he benefited us. It's satisfying to think about," Zhou Meng laughed.

Han Mu shook his head. These two were a bunch of clowns. But Luo Feng was right. The Third Elder was indeed doing the work for them. Once the Chaos Array succeeded, the Third Elder would be able to control the Reverse Time Alliance and become the new Time Lord. But all of this would become Han Mu's stepping stone.

"By the way, my lord, the core of the Chaos Array is in a tributary of the River of Time, where there are temporal turbulences. How do we get in?" Zhou Meng suddenly asked.

"The Time Token can resist the temporal turbulence, and with my Time Law, getting in isn't difficult. The difficulty lies in destroying the array's core. The Third Elder must have deployed heavy troops at the core, and he might even be there himself," Han Mu said.

"That would be even better, we can take them all down at once and save ourselves the trouble of searching for him everywhere," Luo Feng said casually.

Han Mu chuckled. Fatty's personality was quite suited for fighting; he was fearless and ruthless.

"Alright, everyone go and rest. We'll move out tomorrow. Shadow Three Thousand, get ready. I need to see Phantom tomorrow."

"Yes, Senior Han."

After everyone dispersed, Han Mu returned to his room and summoned the system panel.

Name: Han Mu

[True Realm: Mid-stage Great Luo Loose Immortal]

[The Law of Time: 100% (Perfection)]

Status: Restored

[Celestial Aura: -500 points]

[System Notification: The mission "Destroy the Chaos Array" is in progress, current progress 10%]

[Quest Reward: Clue to the Fifth Fragment of the Coffin of Origin (To be claimed)]

[New Mission: Turn the Phantom Against Him (Triggered)]

[Task Reward: Three Elders' Formation Diagram (Detailed)]

Han Mu's eyes lit up. Turning Phantom to the side actually yielded the Third Elder's array diagram. This system was truly thoughtful. With the array diagram, destroying the Chaos Array would be much easier.

"System, claim the fifth fragment of the clue."

[Successfully claimed, clues have been issued]

Han Mu had a new piece of information in his mind: the exact location of the fifth fragment.

"The Demon-Sealing Well is located in the deepest part of the Netherworld. It seals the ancient demon god Xing Tian. The fifth fragment is in Xing Tian's hands. To obtain the fragment, you must defeat Xing Tian or gain his approval."

Xing Tian, ​​an ancient demon god and a being at the level of an immortal emperor, even after being sealed for millions of years, his strength far surpasses that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Obtaining a fragment from him would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"It seems we need to plan this carefully. We should deal with the Third Elder first, obtain the fifth fragment clue, and then figure out a way to deal with Xing Tian," Han Mu muttered to himself.

The next day, Phantom arrived at the Shadow Auction House on time. She was wearing a long black dress and a black veil, obscuring her face, but her figure was graceful and her demeanor was cold and aloof.

"Shadow Master, is the antidote I requested ready?" Phantom's voice was cold, tinged with weariness.

"Ready, Fellow Daoist Phantom, please follow me." Shadow Three Thousand led Phantom to the back hall.

In the back hall, Han Mu had been waiting for a long time.

"Fellow Daoist Phantom, I've long admired you," Han Mu said.

The phantom instantly became alert, its aura erupting as the pressure of a mid-stage Great Luo Immortal enveloped the entire back hall.

"Who are you, Shadow Three Thousand? How dare you betray me!"

"Fellow Daoist Phantom, please don't misunderstand. I have no ill intentions. I'm here to help you," Han Mu said.

"Help me? With your mid-stage Great Luo Immortal cultivation, what can you do for me? Can you cure the Soul-Devouring Poison? That was personally administered by the Third Elder; no one but him can cure it," the Phantom sneered.

"The Soul-Devouring Poison is indeed difficult to cure, but it's not incurable. I have a way to help you detoxify, but on the condition that you do me a favor," Han Mu said calmly.

"What busy?"

"Help me destroy the Chaos Array and kill the Third Elder."
