The Longevity Family: Starting from the Foundation Establishment Ancestor

Inside the secret chamber, Han Mu held the communication talisman, his expression solemn.

The Grand Elder was indeed cunning and shrewd; he had actually guessed his plan, and now the whole scheme was in chaos.

"My lord, since the Grand Elder knows our plan, he must have made preparations. We cannot go to the Sealed Demon Well," Zhou Meng said urgently.

"We have no choice but to go. The Heaven-Binding Earth-Locking Formation is still sealed, and we can't get out now. The Grand Elder is blocking the Demon-Sealing Well, clearly trying to force us to go." Han Mu put away the communication talisman, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"But the Grand Elder is at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. If we go, we'll just be throwing our lives away," Luo Feng muttered.

"To die? Not necessarily. If the Grand Elder wants to use someone else to do his dirty work, we can turn the tables on him," Han Mu sneered.

"What are your plans, my lord?" Han Li asked.

"The Grand Elder wants us and the remnant of the Demon God to both suffer heavy losses so he can reap the benefits. We'll let him have his way, but it's not certain who will ultimately benefit." Han Mu looked at Han Li. "How long can the formation maintain its opening?"

"It can only be used for three breaths at most, and only once. The Grand Elder will definitely reinforce the formation next time," Han Li said.

"Three breaths are enough. We'll move at midnight tonight. Han Li will be in charge of activating the formation. Zhou Meng, Fatty, and I will go to the Sealed Demon Well first. Ghost Hand and the other two are seriously injured, so they'll stay behind to provide backup," Han Mu said.

"Yes." The group nodded.

"My lord, what should we do about the lingering remnant of the demon god? That guy is at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm; we can't defeat him," Luo Feng said worriedly.

"If we can't beat him, we'll just hide. The Demon God's remnant spirit has just broken free of its seal and its strength hasn't recovered yet. The Grand Elder will deal with him; we just need to watch the show," Han Mu said with a smile.

"But the Grand Elder isn't stupid; he'll definitely make us fight the Demon God's lingering remnant first," Zhou Meng said.

"So we need to put on a show, making the Grand Elder think that we and the Demon God's lingering remnant have both suffered heavy losses, so that he will make his move," Han Mu said.

"Acting? I'm good at that. I'm best at playing dead," Luo Feng said, patting his chest.

Han Mu shook his head; this fat guy always managed to liven things up at crucial moments.

"Stop joking around, get ready, we have a tough battle to fight tonight."

After the others dispersed, Han Mu returned to the secret chamber and continued refining the fragments.

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

Name: Han Mu

[True Realm: Mid-stage Great Luo Loose Immortal (85% injury recovery)]

[Time Rule: 100% (Repair Complete)]

[Status: Minor injury, lifespan reduced by 800 years]

[Celestial Aura: +2200 points]

[System Notification: Fifth Fragment Refining Progress 6/7, Expected Completion Tomorrow]

"Tomorrow is too late, I need it tonight," Han Mu muttered to himself, speeding up the refining process.

Night falls, and midnight is approaching.

Outside the headquarters of the Reverse Time Alliance, Han Li stood at the edge of the array, holding an array plate in his hand, his forehead covered in sweat.

"Han Li, are you ready?" Han Mu asked.

"Ready, my lord. The formation can only be maintained for three breaths. You must hurry," Han Li said.

"Don't worry, three breaths will be enough." Han Mu nodded, then looked at Zhou Meng and Luo Feng, "Stay close to me and don't fall behind."

"Yes." Zhou Meng and Luo Feng nodded.

Han Li formed hand seals, and the array plate emitted light. A fist-sized opening appeared in the light shield surrounding the headquarters, and the opening slowly widened.

"Now's the time, let's go." Han Mu shouted, transforming into a streak of light and rushing out of the opening.

Zhou Meng and Luo Feng followed closely behind. Three breaths later, the opening disappeared, and the light shield returned to normal.

"My lord, be careful on your journey," Han Li murmured to himself, looking in the direction where the three had disappeared.

Outside the Demon-Sealing Well, the First Elder and the Second Elder stood by the well, followed by more than a dozen experts from the Reverse Time Alliance, all of whom were at least Taiyi Jade Immortals.

"Brother, will that kid come?" the Second Elder asked.

"Yes, he must come. The fragments are still in the Demon Sealing Well; he can't bear to part with them," the Grand Elder sneered.

"But the remnant of the demon god is still there, that guy is not easy to deal with." The Second Elder worried.

"What's there to be afraid of? The Demon God's remnant spirit has just broken free of its seal, and its strength is less than one-tenth of what it used to be. I can crush it with a single finger. It'll be perfect for him and Han Mu to suffer mutual damage, and we can reap the benefits," the Grand Elder said confidently.

"Elder brother is wise," the second elder flattered.

"They've arrived." The Grand Elder suddenly looked into the distance.

Three streaks of light descended, revealing Han Mu and his two companions.

"Elder, I've kept you waiting." Han Mu bowed.

"Han Mu, you've finally arrived. I thought you wouldn't dare to come," the Grand Elder said with a smile.

"How could I dare not come when the Grand Elder has invited me?" Han Mu said.

"Enough with the nonsense, hand over the fragments, and I'll give you a quick death." The Grand Elder laid his cards on the table.

"The fragments are in the Demon Sealing Well. Elder, if you're capable, go and get them yourself," Han Mu said with a smile.

"Hmph, I knew you'd say that. Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being impolite." The Grand Elder waved his hand, and the experts behind him surrounded Han Mu and his two companions.

"The Grand Elder is about to make a move." Han Mu's expression remained unchanged.

"You dare to make a move? I will make you die at the hands of the remnant spirit of the demon god." The Grand Elder sneered and struck the Demon Sealing Well with his palm.

The seal on the wellhead shattered, and a plume of black smoke shot into the sky, revealing the demonic shadow once more.

"Hahaha, I've finally emerged! Ants, become my food!" The demonic figure laughed wildly, looking at Han Mu and the Grand Elder.

"Demon God, I'm giving you a great gift: these three ants will nourish your body." The Grand Elder pointed to Han Mu and the other two.

"A Great Luo Immortal, not bad. Although a bit weak, it's better than nothing." The demonic shadow licked its lips and pounced on Han Mu.

"Make your move." Han Mu shouted, activating the laws of time to lead Zhou Meng and Luo Feng away from the demonic shadow attacks.

"Trying to run? Not so easy." The elder sneered, raising his hand to set up a barrier, blocking Han Mu and the other two's retreat.

"The Grand Elder wants us dead." Han Mu looked at the Grand Elder.

"That's right, you're all dead, so the fragments are mine now," the Grand Elder said smugly.

"Is that so? That's not necessarily true." Han Mu suddenly smiled, and a fragment appeared in his hand, which was the fifth fragment of the Coffin of Origin.

"You actually refined the fragment?" The Grand Elder's expression changed.

"That's right, I've already refined the fragment. If the Grand Elder wants it, he'll have to ask the Demon God for permission." Han Mu tossed the fragment toward the Demon Shadow.

The demonic figure grabbed the fragment and laughed maniacally.

"Hahaha, the fragment is back! I can finally regain my strength."

The fragments merged into the demonic shadow's body, causing the demonic shadow's aura to surge, instantly restoring it to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

"Oh no, we've been tricked!" The elder's expression changed drastically, and he turned and ran.

"Trying to run? Too late." The demonic figure sneered and struck the Grand Elder with a palm.

A battle between peak Grand Luo Golden Immortals erupted instantly.

Han Mu led Zhou Meng and Luo Feng to a distance to watch the battle between the Grand Elder and the Demon Shadow.

"My lord, what should we do now?" Zhou Meng asked.

"Wait, wait until they're both severely injured before we make our move," Han Mu sneered, a cold glint in his eyes.

Outside the Demon-Sealing Well, a fierce battle raged, with the Grand Elder and the Demon Shadow fighting so hard that the heavens and earth trembled.

Han Mu and his two companions hid in the shadows, waiting for their chance.

Suddenly, the Demon-Sealing Well trembled again, and another surge of demonic energy shot into the sky, transforming into another demonic shadow, its aura even stronger than the first.

"My true form has finally awakened." The second demonic figure laughed wildly, its aura reaching the Great Perfection of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Han Mu's expression changed drastically; the situation was beyond his expectations.
