Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

In a blink of an eye, it was noon the next day.

The illusionary image of the immortal peach had suddenly dissipated.

The last sliver of green on the longevity fruit turned a ripe rosy hue.

This signified that the fruit had thoroughly ripened.

The rich aroma of the fruit swiftly filled a several miles circumference, just a whiff of this scent-

Throats gulped, and eyes were ablaze in longing.

But seeing Jiang Yuan in the valley, put the fire in their hearts to an instant rest.

Jiang Yuan also reached the longevity fruit; a peach-like fruit hanging from a tree nearly ten feet tall.

He casually reached out and the fruit fell into his hand.

It was about the size of a fist, and the moment it landed in his hand, the fragrance became more pronounced, the body instinctually craving it.

A hundred years of life extension, symbolizing the powerful essence of life. To anyone, it was a rare treasure.

But for Jiang Yuan, this object was of little use.

His current longevity had already far surpassed ten thousand years.

If the Luck Power was sufficient, it could inevitably lead to longevity and the ability to watch the world’s changes.

So, this object has no appeal to him.

He put the longevity fruit away in his bag.

In front of him, the longevity fruit tree suddenly withered and decayed. In a matter of breaths, it dried up to the point of crumbling and fell into the mud.

Seeing this change, Jiang Yuan was secretly amazed.

No wonder the longevity fruit was so rare, with a tree only producing one fruit.

All the essence was supplied to the fruit. The moment a mature fruit was picked, the whole tree would become dried branches and integrate into the soil.

A second longevity fruit tree would no longer grow.

Such stringent conditions made the longevity fruit treasured.

And the effects of a longevity fruit cannot be replaced.

Being able to extend a lifespan by a hundred years was enough to make countless people incredibly eager.

Cultivation, the pursuit of defying the heavens and changing fate.

Who could endure the feeling that their time was running out?

Having acquired the longevity fruit, Jiang Yuan felt at ease.

At least he was accomplishing something for Kong Nian.

Aiding him in extending his life by a hundred years could be considered a modest reward.

Afterward, Jiang Yuan, along with Shu Xiaoxiao, sank instantly into the ground, applying the Technique of Earth Escape to leave the area.

With his breakthrough to the ninth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm, his speed in navigating underground increased again, reaching a speed of four and a half miles in one breath.

“Let’s disperse!” someone said, “The longevity fruit is already in Jiang Yuan’s hands, no need to think more about it!”

The crowd scattered instantly.

In the blink of an eye, the area became deserted.

Jiang Yuan, bringing Shu Xiaoxiao along, also left the area.

He planned to find a safe place first to breakthrough to the Divine Bridge Realm.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel a bit excited.

Once he achieved the Divine Bridge Realm, with his strength, he would certainly be considered an upper echelon fighter in the Qianyuan Kingdom, and finally have some self-preservation capability.

Even if the upheaval of two years later arrives early, with the strength of the Divine Bridge Realm, he could manage in these turbulent times.

Unless he caught the attention of a Dharma Realm cultivator, then it would be a different story.

Originally, he estimated it would take two to three years to reach this step.

Now, barely over a year had passed and he was already at this stage. This caused him to feel incredibly emotional, yet it was all worth the effort he’d put into his cultivation over the past year.

A little while later.

The two appeared next to a lake in a deep, ancient forest. The area was dense with foliage, away from the gloomy ancient forest and the lake.

Only streaks of sunlight peeked through the tree’s leaves, shining on the thick layer of fallen leaves, forming a visible beam of light, illuminating the depths of the ancient forest.

However, it was exceptionally bright near the lake, the sunlight falling on the shimmering lake surface lit up the surroundings.

In Jiang Yuan’s eyes, the lake beside him was a gathering place of spiritual energy, known as a spiritual vortex.

Although such a gathering place of spiritual energy was not of much use to him, it made him feel more relaxed.

Let’s stay here!

Jiang Yuan made up his mind, then said to Shu Xiaoxiao, “Xiaoxiao, be my protector. I am going to breakthrough!”

“Okay!”

Shu Xiaoxiao nodded heavily and said, “Don’t worry, with me here, nothing will happen to you!”

Jiang Yuan immediately sat on a rock by the lake, closed his eyes, and tried to empty his mind, bringing himself to the optimal state.

Half a quarter of an hour later.

Jiang Yuan’s mind was calm as an ancient well, his spiritual platform was clear and empty, his condition was at its best.

The next moment, he moved his mind.

Boom

With a muffled sound, the power of heaven and earth converged above his head.

Break!

Jiang Yuan commanded in his mind.

A Divine Bridge suddenly appeared overhead, a bridge constructed of divine soul power.

His internal world, above the Spiritual Sea.

This Divine Bridge also emerged all of a sudden.

One end appearing above the Spiritual Sea, one end appearing above Jiang Yuan’s head.

This bridge instantaneously connected his internal world with the external world.

Boom-

An endless torrent of cosmic power flowed through the bridge, pouring into Jiang Yuan’s internal world.

The Divine Bridge wobbled violently, as if it was at the risk of collapsing at any moment.

Jiang Yuan was extremely cautious.

If the Divine Bridge collapsed, it would mean a failure to break through, resulting in severe damage to his divine soul.

He hurriedly mobilized all his strength to stabilize the bridge that was connecting to the external world above him.

Under his stability-

The slightly shaking Divine Bridge gradually steadied, bearing the influx of cosmic power.

The Spiritual Sea within him was turbulent due to the influx of cosmic power.

The waves in the Spiritual Sea were endless, the infinite cosmic energy poured into this realm and then slowly integrated into the Spiritual Sea.

With the passage of time, the Divine Bridge above Jiang Yuan’s head had already become completely stable, representing that the inner and outer universe was completely connected.

Jiang Yuan let out a light sigh, upon accomplishing this step, he was already halfway there.

Then he waited quietly, waiting for the power of the universe to fill the entire inner universe.

Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, half a day later.

The power of the universe had filled the entire inner universe, meaning that the internal and external universes were completely balanced.

The divine soul appeared in intervals.

It nestled in the center of the Spiritual Sea.

As long as the first strand of dharma-power is born, it means that the Divine Bridge Realm is fully achieved, Jiang Yuan silently asserted.

Next, he made a move with his heart.

The power of the divine soul fused into the Spiritual Sea, under the catalysis of the power of the universe.

The spiritual power gradually underwent a certain transformation.

A few breaths later.

The first strand of dharma-power appeared.

Boom

There was a rumble within his body, the birth of dharma-power, signifying that he had completely accomplished the Divine Bridge Realm.

In the foundation of the first strand of dharma-power, the second, third… gradual strands of dharma-power were born.

The spiritual power kept transforming into dharma-power, while the Spiritual Sea sunk at an extremely slow speed.

All the spiritual power in the Spiritual Sea was about to transform into higher quality dharma-power, which contained the imprint of his will.

The birth of each strand of dharma-power required hundreds to thousands of spiritual power strands.

Each strand of dharma-power contained some of Jiang Yuan’s will, this was the power that truly belongs to him.

With the birth of the dharma-power and the rumbling within his body, his blood and physical body were also changing.

The origin was being sublimated, and the golden particles in his blood were increasing.

This promotion in realm represented a total transformation.

This transformation cannot be accomplished in a moment or over a few minutes.

During this period, his strength also increased relentlessly.

Jiang Yuan, feeling the changes happening within his body, was overjoyed.

The improvement of the Divine Bridge Realm was indeed enormous.

The fact that he was able to defeat Wang Yu, who had also reached the Divine Bridge Realm, could only mean that his foundation was too profound.

However, it was evident that Wang Yu had not been in this realm for long, his dharma-power, or even himself, had not yet fully transformed.

Now, the dharma-power that had transformed inside him had reached several dozen strands, compared to the vast, Spiritual Sea, this was just a drop in the ocean.

However, after feeling the terrifying divine power contained within,

He pointed a finger, a ray passed through his hand.

Boom

There was a loud noise, and instantly a trough, three feet wide and three to seven miles long, suddenly appeared before him.

So strong!

Jiang Yuan was taken aback.

It was indeed a qualitative change.

If he waited for the spiritual power in his Spiritual Sea to fully transform, won’t every strike cause several miles to sink, what an astonishing notion.

To slaughter a city, it would only require repetitions of such an attack.

Besides, this was still the second layer of the Pearl Cave’s outer perimeter, with a suppressive effect from the cave’s power.

But compared to the Spiritual Sea Realm, it was already a tremendous breakthrough.

And this was just the transformation of dharma-power.

The elevation of the realm was a comprehensive upgrade, a transformation at the essence of life.

At this moment, not just his dharma-power was transforming.

His divine soul was also transforming, increasing in efficiency, hundreds of times more than usual.

The golden particles in his blood were increasing insanely, and his veins were undergoing bizarre changes after the mutation at the life level, as if the limitations within have been lifted.

Jiang Yuan could feel that his veins were filled with strange power, as his blood flowed, his internal organs, even his bones were stained with a faint gold color.

Every cell inside his body was inhaling and exhaling the energy of the universe, constantly transforming, and his physical body became more and more horrifying.

The certain restrictions in them seemed to have been removed.

Jiang Yuan knew that this was the excavation of his physical body and venous potential.

The realm was its greatest restriction.

Now that he had broken through a major realm, his Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body had become even more horrifying, and the effect of the Human Emperor’s Bloodline was better realized.

[Name]: Jiang Yuan

[Realm]: First level of Divine Bridge Realm

[Innate Luck Power]: Ancient Double Pupils (gold) Five Elements Holy Body (purple) Divine Soul Fetal Breath (purple) Immortal Longevity (purple) Human Emperor’s Bloodline (purple) Unmatched Intelligence (purple) Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body (purple) Gluttonous Belly (purple) Pursuit of the Sun (purple)

[Luck Power]: 1003 strands

[Luck Seed]: None

[Heavenly Mandate Opportunity]: Can be stimulated (Can be stimulated by consuming Luck Power, the more consumed, the easier it is to discover major opportunities, the greater the opportunity discovered, the longer the cooldown period.)

Meanwhile, amidst the various transformations absolute over his body,

He found that compared to before, his thought process was growing tens of times faster.

He took this opportunity to start comprehending the Small Five Elements God Fist and the Small Five Elements Escape Technique.

Relying on his former combat experience, his mind immediately overflowed with ideas.

With a smile on his face, he was completely absorbed, and there seemed to be a Daoist charm turning around him.

Shu Xiaoxiao, who was merely within a ten-foot radius of Jiang Yuan, felt her mind filled with continuously flashing inspirations, and her previous confusion was instantly clarified.

Is this… some kind of deep understanding?

Shu Xiaoxiao looked at Jiang Yuan in shock. Even though she had already seen many of Jiang Yuan’s terrifying performances, she was still astounded at this moment.

The effects of such sudden enlightenment were incredibly terrifying compared to ordinary understanding.

It indeed had the effect of enlightenment spreading to a chicken or a dog if obtained by a human.

In such a situation, anyone around Jiang Yuan would be affected, with their understanding greatly increased.

All the confusion in their minds would instantaneously disappear, and compared to normal, the comprehension speed was a hundredfold faster.

Looking at Jiang Yuan in meditation, although Shu Xiaoxiao also wanted to take this opportunity to integrate her previous understanding,

But she knew that if she also comprehended the techniques, then both of them would be in danger.

Even if the Young Master had extraordinary strength and was not in mortal danger here,

But if any life form approached and awakened Jiang Yuan in this state, causing him to miss such an opportunity,

She wouldn’t forgive herself, let alone what the Young Master would think.
