Shi Long left, leaving behind the secret of immortality, and departed contentedly.

"The Longevity Technique (Earth-level Wood-type Immortal Technique)".

Li Daoyi was looking at the system's description of the Longevity Technique.

It turns out that this divine skill is indeed a cultivation technique for immortality, which involves absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through acupoints to replenish oneself, directly cultivating innate true energy. However, during this process, practitioners may experience various symptoms resembling demonic possession. Those unaware of the true nature of the practice may perceive these as demonic possession and dare not continue. Therefore, although it has been passed down through generations, those who obtain it, due to preconceived notions, dare not continue practicing after a single unsuccessful attempt, and it gradually falls into obscurity.

Besides, this technique is actually an introductory technique for cultivating immortality, only suitable for those who have never practiced martial arts or immortality. Before practicing, one must not have any true qi in one's body. Of course, others can also practice through the later pictures, but that is not the complete Longevity Manual.

Moreover, the Longevity Technique is not an offensive immortal technique; it merely accelerates an individual's absorption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. In short, it increases an individual's blood and qi, making them immune to all diseases, with abundant blood, thus becoming a tank.

"Tsk tsk... seems useless to me!" Li Daoyi shook his head, waved his hand, and put away the Longevity Mantra.

"Slurp... Hah..."

Just then, Mengmeng came out of the kitchen holding a chicken wing. The little guy's face was covered in honey and grease, and he was happily sucking the juice off the chicken wing.

"It's so delicious..."

"You, I really don't know how much stuff your little belly can hold."

Li Daoyi walked over, squatted down, gently patted Mengmeng's round little belly, and smiled.

“They could eat the sky!” Mengmeng said, tilting her little head up.

"Hahaha..." Li Daoyi typed "oh" upon hearing this, not taking it seriously.

Late at night, outside a giant rock cave, a lone figure sat on a boulder.

"Sigh..." The man looked at the crescent moon in the sky and sighed deeply.

Then he looked down at his palm, where a small pink wing was placed.

"Xiaodie, I never expected... Alas, life is unpredictable."

This person was Xiang Yutian. After Xiaodie died that day, he fell into a coma on the battlefield. When he woke up, it was already dark. The surroundings were desolate, and he was tightly holding a butterfly wing in his hand.

Although he was possessed by Xiaodie, he had all the memories of the process, including Xiaodie's actions. He knew them all clearly. In fact, he did not resent Xiaodie. In fact, when he was possessed, his spirit gave up resisting after she said she needed to borrow his body.

During the time he spent with Xiaodie, although she was just an ordinary butterfly most of the time, he was very happy during that period. Having a little creature flying around him brought some color to his monotonous life. Now that she has passed away, he can only keep this piece of her wing to remember her.

Suddenly, several shadows appeared in the moonlight. Turning around, Xiang Yutian saw several figures behind the boulder.

“Xiang Yutian,” one of them said.

"Greetings, Immortal." Xiang Yutian hurriedly stood up and bowed. The people who came were Li Daoyi, Mengmeng, Xiaolongnu, Dongfang Bubai and others.

He naturally recognized Li Daoyi; he had witnessed Li Daoyi's heroic bearing on the battlefield of Luoyang.

"What? Still thinking about the Crimson Corpse God?" Li Daoyi asked.

"I..." Xiang Yutian suddenly felt a little embarrassed, after all, he had lived for almost two hundred years.

Are you angry with me?

"I wouldn't dare, it's all Xiaodie's own fault," Xiang Yutian quickly said.

"Hmm." Li Daoyi slowly descended from the boulder, with Mengmeng, who was like a leech, still sitting on his shoulder.

Why not break apart and leave?

"Reporting to the Immortal, I did indeed intend to leave back then, but there were some things that needed to be addressed..."

“An excuse,” Li Daoyi suddenly interrupted.

“I…” Xiang Yutian stared blankly at Li Daoyi.

“Don’t use the Evil Emperor’s Relic and cultivation techniques as an excuse; you’re just afraid.” Li Daoyi stared into Xiang Yutian’s eyes.

Sure enough, Xiang Yutian's eyes flickered, and then he lowered his head.

"Yes, I was afraid," Xiang Yutian said softly.

"Do you still remember Yan Fei?" Li Daoyi asked.

Xiang Yutian suddenly looked up.

"Brother Yanfei's kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain, how could I ever forget it?" Xiang Yutian said. The second half of the Dao Heart Demon Seed he cultivated was obtained with Yanfei's help.

"It's good that you haven't forgotten. What an amazing era! They all had the courage to face the immortal sects head-on. Why did you back down in the face of battle?" Li Daoyi questioned.

"It's too powerful. The aura behind the Immortal Gate is too powerful. At that moment, I felt like an ant. I was unwilling to accept it. I was afraid that I would lose everything when I got to that place," Xiang Yutian murmured, as if he could see the day the Immortal Gate opened again in his eyes.

"Ants? Who isn't an ant? What do you think of me? But before those unknown and powerful beings, am I not just an ant?"

"Is that your excuse for not being ambitious? Is a difficult road ahead an excuse for not moving forward? You were once a prodigy, on friendly terms with people like Yan Fei. Now look at yourself, barely clinging to life in this desolate wilderness. With your current cultivation level, you'll live for at most another hundred years, and then you'll be nothing but a skeleton. What's the use of all these years of cultivation?" Li Daoyi said, looking at Xiang Yutian, who was in a daze.

Actually, he said these words to make up for the harm that his puppet, Xiaodie, had caused him.

"call…"

After a long while, Xiang Yutian exhaled a deep breath of stale air.

"Thank you, Immortal." Xiang Yutian raised his head, his eyes becoming clear, and his aura slowly increased, as if the once invincible Evil Emperor had been resurrected.

“Failure is not terrible; what is terrible is that a person loses the courage to face failure. Think about those people back then. When they opened the gate to immortality, they sensed the aura over there just like you, but they still did not hesitate and bravely took that step. Xiang Yutian, you are already so late. Do you still want your good brother to wait for you?” Li Daoyi said in the end.

"Boom..." Xiang Yutian's aura swept out, and even Dongfang Bubai and Xiaolongnu couldn't help but take a half step back.

"Thank you for your guidance, Immortal." Xiang Yutian, whose energy and spirit had returned to their peak, bowed respectfully to Li Daoyi.

"Okay, go ahead, see you again someday." Li Daoyi nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately afterwards, an unknown energy gradually emanated from Xiang Yutian's body. Li Daoyi understood that this was the power of shattering, and only in this way could he sense the Immortal Gate.

A faint white energy emanated from Xiang Yutian and shot straight into the sky.

"Eeyah, what's that?" Mengmeng blinked her big eyes and pointed to the sky.

A white vortex appeared in the sky.

"Immortal, we shall meet again if fate allows."

After saying that, Xiang Yutian's body slowly floated up and flew towards the white vortex in the sky thousands of meters away.

"Is this the Shattered Void? Is that the Immortal Sect?" Dongfang Bubai asked.

"Mm." Li Dao nodded.

He sensed an aura from that vortex that was different from the Twin Dragons World. Although he wasn't sure if it was the Immortal Realm, it was definitely an incredibly powerful world, and those white vortices were formed from spiritual energy.

"oops…"

Mengmeng suddenly cried out, then turned her head and looked at Li Daoyi with displeasure.

The little girl was suspended in mid-air, with one of her little feet firmly held by Li Daoyi.

At this moment, Li Daoyi's face turned completely black.

What did you promise me before you came?

"Hehe, I just wanted to go and take a look!" Mengmeng said, her eyes darting around.

"What are you looking at? This one breath of energy will cause you so much trouble. From now on, you can't absorb energy without my permission, understand?" Li Daoyi said.

"Waaah... Sister Dragon, the Taoist brother bullied me." The little girl pouted and flew into Little Dragon Girl's arms, but there wasn't a single tear in her bright, dark eyes.

"Alright, sweetie, I'll make you something delicious tomorrow," Little Dragon Girl gently patted Mengmeng's back to comfort her.

"I want to eat mutton," Mengmeng said happily, raising her head.

"Good, honey-roasted whole lamb."

"Wuhu..."

At this moment, Xiang Yutian had slowly entered the vortex until his entire body disappeared.

Just then, the vortex did not disappear. Instead, an energy surged from above, enveloping Li Daoyi and his companions below.

"What's going on?" Li Dao was taken aback.

Then, the bodies of the people slowly floated up.

"No way, they're treating us like people who have broken through the void?" Li Daoyi asked in surprise.

"Stop fooling around, I have things to do!"

After saying that, Li Daoyi used his magic power to land on the ground again with the two women and Mengmeng.

"Again?" But that power appeared once more, even stronger than before, and Li Daoyi's magic power was almost unable to maintain his figure.

"Damn it, you're so ungrateful! Long'er, close the door and let Mengmeng out!" Li Daoyi said angrily.

Upon hearing this, Long'er immediately released her grip.

"Wuhu..."

Mengmeng's petite body instantly soared into the sky, appearing right in front of the white vortex.

The little girl opened her mouth, her belly sank in, and then she sucked hard into the vortex.

"Whoosh..."

The white energy was instantly absorbed into Mengmeng's stomach, and the force pulling Li Daoyi and the other two disappeared instantly.

"Boom..." The vortex began to tremble and made a roaring sound.

Within a few breaths, the white vortex shrank by more than half, and countless streams of spiritual energy poured into Mengmeng's mouth.

"Cough cough, alright, Mengmeng." Sensing the fear emanating from the white vortex, Li Daoyi quickly stopped the little guy.

"Stop inhaling, or you'll inhale Old Man Xiang back again."

"Ah-woo." Mengmeng shut her mouth.

"call out…"

The white vortex vanished instantly. The sky returned to normal, the moon still hung high in the sky, and the little guy, still feeling a bit adorable, patted his little belly and slowly flew down.

"Hehe, you shouldn't have let me suck it earlier," Mengmeng said proudly.

Li Daoyi was also somewhat embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, Mengmeng is the best, alright?"

"Giggle..."

"Let's go home, what a pleasant night!" Li Daoyi picked up Mengmeng, his body slowly taking off and flying into the distance.
