Immortality began with the Demon Suppression Division

Time flies like an arrow.

Time flies.

A year later, on Daoyuan Island in the Starfall Ancient Realm, a figure in white landed in a core area near the Daoyuan Ancient Tree.

This is Luo Chen's high-grade medicinal herb field.

More than a hundred years have passed, and he is finally ready to harvest a high-grade medicinal herb.

"It's not easy."

Luo Chen walked in the spirit field, bending down to pick the seventh or eighth-grade medicinal herbs one by one, carefully sealing them to prevent the essence from leaking out and losing their medicinal power.

A series of notification sounds echoed in his ears, causing Luo Chen to smile genuinely.

As noon approached, Luo Chen straightened up, gathered up the medicine baskets on the shore, and checked today's harvest.

"These two high-grade medicinal fields have given me nearly two hundred million lifespans!"

Not bad.

Luo Chen was secretly satisfied. Although the maturation period was ten times that of a fifth-tier herb, the reward was still quite substantial.

Moreover, these mature, high-grade medicinal herbs are also precious resources.

It can be refined into pills and placed in the Samsara Palace Shop.

His total lifespan on the panel is now close to 1.4 billion years.

It is worth mentioning that, as the Great Wu Dynasty has developed steadily and grown stronger over the years, the demons within its borders have either fled or been hunted down.

The annual income from the lifespan of demons in the Demon Suppression Prison has almost reached zero.

The Demon Suppression Prison was once glorious, providing him with millions of years of lifespan each year; what a pity.

This was the key business that made his fortune.

Luo Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

Fortunately, with the improvement of his strength over the years, and adhering to the idea that one should not put all their eggs in one basket, he has developed other sources of income for his lifespan.

Although he lost the income from the Demon Suppression Prison, his average annual income not only did not decrease, but instead increased slowly and steadily.

If Luo Chen maintains this pace, he can also become stronger quickly.

Finally, before leaving, Luo Chen planted the rare spiritual herbs he had obtained over the past few decades from helping others refine pills, categorizing them into different types.

After doing all this, he soared into the air and headed towards Dan Ding Island.

Traveling among the stars, his divine sense covered a remote star island.

Ling Yun, the young cultivator who possessed the Primordial Return to Origin Body, joined the Starfall Ancient Realm and entered the Saint-level Star Island to cultivate.

Mysterious, Spiritual, Holy, Immortal, Main Island – these are the star islands' hierarchical classifications from lowest to highest.

The first two star islands are mostly inhabited by mortals, with very few cultivators.

Saint-ranked Star Island is of medium status, and its island lord is only at the Dao Integration Realm. Its resources and cultivation environment are far inferior to those of Immortal Star Island.

Almost two years have passed since Ling Yun joined the Starfall Ancient Realm.

He has completely integrated into the Saint-level Star Island he is on, and his presence is not strong. No one knows about his talent. Every day, besides cultivating, he tries to find ways to earn resources.

Not long ago, Ling Yun broke through to the Dharma Aspect Realm, and the Dharma Aspect he condensed resembled him somewhat, appearing even more majestic and mature.

Luo Chen didn't believe it was a coincidence; that Dharma image was very special.

He could sense the immense vital energy contained within the other person's body.

The Primordial Origin Body is like a black hole hidden within his body.

Without the vision of a Primordial Grandmaster, it would be difficult to see the other person's physique clearly.

Luo Chen estimated that once Ling Yun was fully unleashed, either he would explode and die, or his cultivation level would skyrocket.

"It is this special physique that suppresses the talent that Ling Yun can display; otherwise, he wouldn't have been assigned to the Saint-level Star Island."

"Or did he do it on purpose?"

Luo Chen stroked his chin and muttered to himself.

In terms of physique alone, Ling Yun was definitely the strongest he had ever seen; even Luo Beiming's ancient treasure physique was several levels below him.

At this moment, Ling Yun was fighting a demonic beast on Star Island. He was behaving like an ordinary disciple, performing in a standard and somewhat mediocre manner.

Luo Chen observed for half an hour and concluded that the other party might have been intentionally concealing their talent by choosing the Saint-level Star Island.

He used causal reasoning to calculate and discovered that Ling Yun would eventually fall out with the Starfall Ancient Realm.

Although Ling Yun appeared mediocre, he was not truly mediocre. Faced with the bullying from the lower-ranking disciples, he ultimately couldn't resist taking action.

He secretly killed a disciple with considerable backing, which caused a series of troubles, commonly known as "beating the small fry and the big fish coming."

Although the truth was revealed, the incident caused too much damage and resulted in the deaths of many people. As a result, the Starfall Ancient Realm expelled him, and he was even pursued when he left.

That timeframe is still a long way off.

Luo Chen had no intention of stopping it.

The Starfall Ancient Realm is vast, with each star island comparable to one of the Nine Heavens continents. There are countless cultivators, and even the lower-level cultivators have their own rules for survival.

Those shady and dirty dealings exist everywhere.

It all boils down to two words: "profit".

Having lived there for many years, Luo Chen had also observed the fates of many disciples, including those on his Spirit Deer Peak.

Many disciples will gradually distance themselves from the Starfall Ancient Realm in the future, or even stand on the opposite side.

The reason for this is that there are too many disciples and the path of cultivation is too long and arduous, making it impossible for everyone to remain consistent and never forget their original aspirations.

Even if Luo Chen intervenes now, such trouble will still occur as long as new people join in.

But it's not particularly troublesome.

Ultimately, Starfall Ancient Realm is not a force in ordinary ancient realms, but a first-class sect that spans the boundary sea.

Although there are many disciples, how many will be able to enter the Dao Void Realm in 100,000 years?

Even if you reach the Dao Void Realm, in the eyes of the higher-ups of the Starfall Ancient Realm, you are nothing but an ant.

Ling Yun is one of the variables and cannot be categorized as an ordinary disciple.

The deeper one delves into cause and effect and destiny.

Luo Chen felt the horror of fate more and more.

Knowing and having the ability to change one's destiny is not necessarily a good thing.

Because once the original trajectory of fate is changed, variables will arise, and these variables are ones that even the person making the change cannot predict.

Once a variable appears, without a cause, it is impossible to continue predicting the outcome.

Luo Chen lay atop Spirit Deer Peak, observing the disciples on Pill Cauldron Island and their karma, thereby deepening his understanding of the Dao of Karma.

Night falls.

Luo Chen did not leave; he remained lying on the summit, where the Milky Way surrounding the Star Island displayed an even more magnificent and spectacular view.

Ye Qi rode on the white steed, returning to Linglu Peak under the starlight. Seeing his master enjoying the tranquil time, he chose not to disturb him.

Instead, he went halfway up the mountain, sat cross-legged on a blue stone, closed his eyes and circulated his internal energy. Starlight emanated from his body, making him appear ethereal and otherworldly, as if he were wearing a long robe of starlight.

suddenly,

Luo Chen narrowed his eyes and looked up, only to see a streak of light rising into the air from a nearby Immortal Star Island at an extremely fast speed.

Following closely behind this streak of light, dozens of powerful figures rose up, chasing after the streak of light in the distance.

Luo Chen was surprised. The aura emanating from the first stream of light was probably that of a peak True Saint cultivator.

This level of cultivation is already considered to have entered the upper echelons of the Starfall Ancient Realm.

What happened?
