The Longevity Family: Starting from the Foundation Establishment Ancestor

Han Mu stood at the edge of the cosmic sea, watching the black figure rapidly approaching from afar. His expression became extremely solemn. That aura was more than ten times stronger than that of the Heavenly Demon Emperor, and it was definitely a powerhouse at the Great Dao Realm.

"My lord, what is that?" Zhou Meng's face turned pale, and his voice trembled.

"The master of the extraterrestrial demons is probably a being at the Great Dao Realm," Han Mu said in a deep voice.

The black figure drew closer and closer, finally revealing its true form: a middle-aged man in a black robe, with a handsome face but cold eyes, radiating a suffocating pressure. Behind the man followed dozens of peak-level Hongmeng Heavenly Demon Emperors, making for an extremely grand spectacle.

"You are the ruler of the cosmic sea." The middle-aged man looked down at Han Mu, his tone indifferent, as if he were talking about something insignificant.

"That's right, who are you?" Han Mu said coldly.

"I am the Heavenly Demon Emperor, the master of the extraterrestrial demons. You have injured my subordinates, and you must give me an explanation today," the Heavenly Demon Emperor said calmly.

"Explain yourself. What do you want to explain?" Han Mu said coldly.

"Two choices. First, submit to me and become my servant, and I may spare your life. Second, die," the Heavenly Demon Emperor said, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable authority.

"I choose the third one, to kill you." Han Mu said coldly. He took the initiative and punched the Heavenly Demon Emperor. This punch contained all the power of the peak of the Primordial Chaos, and its power was astonishing.

The Heavenly Demon Emperor neither dodged nor evaded. He raised his hand and waved it, an invisible force dissolving Han Mu's fist imprint into nothingness. Then, with a backhand strike, he sent Han Mu flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"At the peak of the Primordial Chaos realm, you dare to be presumptuous in front of me? You truly have no regard for your own life," the Heavenly Demon Emperor said disdainfully.

Han Mu got up from the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He knew he was no match for the Heavenly Demon Emperor, but he could not back down. Behind him was the cosmic sea and countless living beings. He had to protect them.

"My lord, we're here to help you." Zhou Meng and the other two rushed forward and stood beside Han Mu.

"What are you doing here? Get out of here, you're no match for it!" Han Mu said urgently.

"My lord, we will not leave. We will die together," Zhou Meng said firmly.

"Yes, we'll die together." Luo Feng and Han Li echoed.

Looking into the determined eyes of the three men, Han Mu felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He knew that with these brothers by his side, even death would be worthwhile.

"Alright, today the four of us brothers will have a go at this Heavenly Demon Emperor." Han Mu laughed loudly, and the four of them attacked at the same time, rushing towards the Heavenly Demon Emperor.

The Heavenly Demon Emperor looked at the four people rushing towards him with a hint of disdain in his eyes. He raised his hand and waved it, and a terrifying force sent all four of them flying. They crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out blood.

"Like ants, yet you dare to rival the sun and moon." The Heavenly Demon Emperor said coldly. He raised his hand and a huge black hand descended from the sky, grabbing at the four people.

Han Mu gritted his teeth. He knew he couldn't escape it, but he was unwilling to give up. He still had too many things to do. He still had to protect the Universe Sea and his family and friends.

Just then, a golden light suddenly descended from the sky, shattering the black palm, and an old voice rang out in the void.

That's enough.

Han Mu looked up and saw an old man in a white robe standing in the void. The old man had white hair and beard, and had an air of otherworldly grace, exuding an aura even more powerful than that of the Heavenly Demon Emperor.

"Transcendent Daoist." Upon seeing the old man, the Heavenly Demon Emperor's expression changed drastically, and he immediately knelt down to pay his respects.

"The Daoist of Transcendence, hasn't he already perished?" Han Mu asked in shock.

"I was just sleeping, but I'm awake now," the Transcendent Daoist laughed. He looked at the Heavenly Demon Emperor and said, "Heavenly Demon Emperor, you've overstepped your bounds. The Cosmic Sea is under my protection; you cannot touch it."

"Yes, Dao Ancestor, I'll be leaving now," the Heavenly Demon Emperor said respectfully, then turned and left, disappearing into the void.

Han Mu looked at the Transcendent Daoist, his heart filled with doubt. Hadn't the Transcendent Daoist already perished? How did he reappear?

"Young man, do you have many questions?" the Transcendental Taoist said with a smile.

"Yes, senior, didn't you already perish?" Han Mu asked.

"I did not perish. I simply broke through to the Great Dao Realm, transcended the shackles of the universe, and entered a higher dimension. I returned this time because I sensed danger in the Cosmic Sea," said the Transcendent Daoist.

"A higher dimension, what is that?" Han Mu asked curiously.

"You'll know when you break through to the Great Dao Realm," the Transcendent Daoist laughed. He raised his hand and pointed, and a golden light shot into Han Mu's brow.

Han Mu felt a flood of information rushing into his mind—methods for breaking through to the Great Dao Realm and the mysteries of the Path of Transcendence. He closed his eyes and began to digest this information.

When Han Mu opened his eyes again, his cultivation had broken through to the Great Dao Realm, making him the second being in the Universe Sea to reach this level.

"Congratulations, kid, you've finally broken through," the Transcendent Daoist laughed.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior," Han Mu said respectfully.

"No need to thank me, this is your own good fortune. Alright, I should go now. Take care of yourself." After saying this, the Transcendent Daoist transformed into a golden light and disappeared into the sky.

Han Mu stared in the direction where the Daoist Chaotuo had disappeared, remaining silent for a long time. Then he turned to Zhou Meng and the other two and said with a smile, "Let's go back and have some drinks."

"Okay!" the three replied in unison.

Back at the Temple of Creation, the four of them set out a table of food and wine, chatting as they drank. Han Mu asked the three of them about their future plans. Zhou Meng said he wanted to continue his training, Han Li said he wanted to seek out more profound array formations, and Luo Feng said he wanted to collect more medicinal herbs.

"You've all left, and I'm so bored all by myself," Han Mu complained.

"My lord, don't you have Fairy Hongmeng with you?" Luo Feng said, winking.

"Don't talk nonsense, she and I are just friends," Han Mu quickly explained.

"Friend, I don't think so. Even the way Fairy Hongmeng looks at the Master is different," Zhou Meng joked.

"Don't talk nonsense, or I'll tear your mouths apart!" Han Mu said angrily.

The three of them laughed heartily, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After a satisfying meal, Zhou Meng and the other two left. Han Mu sat alone in the Temple of Creation, gazing at the starry sky outside the window, his heart filled with emotion. From a humble Foundation Establishment cultivator to a powerful figure at the Great Dao Realm, he had endured countless hardships and challenges, but he had never given up.

"My lord, what are you thinking about?" Fairy Hongmeng's voice came from behind.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about some old times," Han Mu said with a smile.

"My lord, may I ask you a question?" Fairy Hongmeng hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Ask away," Han Mu said.

"My lord, have you ever thought about finding a Daoist partner?" Fairy Hongmeng asked, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Han Mu was taken aback. He hadn't expected the Fairy of Hongmeng to ask this question. He remained silent for a moment, then said, "I've thought about it, but I haven't met the right person yet."

"Then what does Your Majesty think of me?" Fairy Hongmeng asked, mustering her courage.

Looking at Fairy Hongmeng, Han Mu felt a strange sensation. He admitted that he did have feelings for Fairy Hongmeng, but he never dared to express them because he was afraid of hindering her cultivation.

"You are very good, but I'm afraid it will hinder your cultivation," Han Mu said truthfully.

"I'm not afraid. As long as I can stay by my lord's side, I'll be content," said Fairy Hongmeng.

Looking into Fairy Hongmeng's determined eyes, Han Mu felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He reached out and took Fairy Hongmeng's hand, and said with a smile, "Alright, then let's walk together."

Fairy Hongmeng's cheeks flushed, but she didn't pull her hand away. The two stood there quietly, looking at the starry sky outside the window, enjoying this rare tranquility.
