Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

In Ye Chanxi’s eyes,

These two in the Qianyuan Kingdom were decent; they had condensed their dharma-nature and become great cultivators in the Dharma Realm.

Yet, remaining in a comfort zone had, after all, limited their perspective.

They had no idea how extraordinary the real heaven geniuses were.

Ever since she realized that Jiang Yuan had a special bloodline, she knew he was different.

His rise further confirmed her suspicions.

It was the bloodline of the Human Emperor!

The original bloodline of the Human Emperor!

Throughout history, the genuine Human Emperors had been few.

Their reputation preceded them, though; the title of Human Emperor followed.

The bloodline was named after the Human Emperor due to their remarkable strength.

With Jiang Yuan possessing this original bloodline, his future achievements would definitely be extraordinary, even though they might not compare to her own main body.

He could also reach the top of the Supreme Ranking.

He completely had the potential to gain enlightenment and become a Saint in this era.

So, she was very hopeful that Jiang Yuan would make a great leap forward in the Pearl Cave.

That included obtaining the relic left behind by the Saint.

Inside the Pearl Cave.

Four and a half hours later,

Jiang Yuan felt a jolt in his body, and an intangible feeling told him that he had reached the outer layer of the Pearl Cave.

He couldn’t help but marvel at the vastness of the Pearl Cave.

Even traveling at such speed, it had taken him four and a half hours to just get into the outer layer.

If it were an ordinary Divine Bridge Realm, it would take about two days, day and night.

What about the Spiritual Sea Realm?

Wouldn’t it take about ten days?

At this time, the pressure on him also greatly increased.

His speed reduced by a further fifty percent, reaching only five miles per breath.

What a powerful suppressing force!

Jiang Yuan paused, thoroughly astonished.

At this moment, a prompt appeared before his eyes.

[Detecting an opportunity here. Spend 483 strands of Luck Power to get detailed information about this opportunity?]

That much?

Jiang Yuan paused at this sight, looking at the prompt in surprise.

He then made up his mind.

[Yes!]

[Successfully spent 483 strands of Luck Power.]

[There is a Thousand-Year Earth Fire Sun Lotus in a Fire Cave 3,343 miles to the south of you.]

3,343 miles, it seems like after breakthrough, my ability to detect opportunities has increased!

A Thousand-Year Earth Fire Sun Lotus, I hope it’s something good.

The next moment, Jiang Yuan, together with Shu Xiaoxiao, melted into the ground traveling southward swiftly.

Elsewhere,

At a volcano.

Zhou Ying wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked at the Earth Fire erupting below and her face immediately paled.

She asked the golden-haired rat on her shoulder, “Rollroll, are you sure you’re not lying to me? Is there really a treasure in this volcano?”

“Squeak Squeak ”

The golden-haired rat made anxious noises, bouncing around on her shoulder.

“Alright! Alright! Don’t get mad, I was not doubting you! But with such terrifying Earth Fire, how can I go into it?”

Zhou Ying made a bitter face.

Ever since entering the outer layer, several of her cousins had left her in the outer layer.

They’d said that her strength was too weak to qualify for entry into the inner area, that she should just hang around in the outer area.

So, Zhou Ying could only take her treasure-seeking rat around in search of natural treasures.

However, her gains were limited in the past few days, finding only a hundred-year-old spirit herb and a three-hundred-year-old spirit herb, disappointing her greatly.

But when her treasure-seeking rat came near this volcano,

Her golden-haired rat on her shoulder suddenly became extremely excited, pointing at the volcano and squeaking loudly.

The information it sent her was that there was a lot, a lot of…

But when she saw the raging volcano, her face turned pale.

Just as she was in a quandary,

Suddenly, the Earth Fire exploded, shooting up to the sky, creating a plume dozens of feet high.

Zhou Ying wasn’t fast enough to dodge. In an instant, most of the hair on her forehead was burnt off.

“Wah wah wah~, so ugly!”

Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw her forelocks missing and the top of her head was also bare. She was instantly grief-stricken.

Meanwhile, the golden-haired rat on her shoulder was jumping crazily, squeaking loudly.

“Okay, okay! I’m going to look now, I understand you!”

Shaking her head helplessly, Zhou Ying put her mirror away.

She leaned over the cliff edge to look into the cave below. Just after the brief eruption of Earth Fire, she saw Fire Lotuses growing on both sides of the rocks.

Her eyes lit up, these were Fire Lotuses.

After eyeing the now somewhat tranquil Earth Fire below, she gritted her teeth and carefully descended the cliff.

In the outer layer, the suppressing power of the cave had already become very intimidating for her, who was currently at the seventh level of the Spiritual Sea Realm.

She had no power to fly using secret techniques.

If she were to slip and fall into the Earth Fire, she would definitely turn to ash.

At this very moment,

Jiang Yuan had also arrived there, sweeping with his divine sense.

Everything within a radius of more than six hundred yards jumped into his mind.

The cave world is really terrifying, and the expansion of my divine sense is being suppressed so much!

Jiang Yuan sighed.

Suddenly, he appeared surprised.

Zhou Ying is also here?

[Name]: Zhou Ying

[Realm]: Spiritual Sea Realm, Seventh Level

[Inherited Qi Achievement]: Heavenly Human Divine Body (Purple), Empress Tianming (Purple), Martial Spirit Child (Blue), Qi and Blood Like a River (Blue), Soul Condensation (Blue)….

Then, his divine sense spotted those Earth Fire Lotuses, as well as the Earth Fire Sun Lotus in the cave below.

These fire lotuses, they’ve all congealed a couple of hundred years’ worth of essence – quite good indeed!

It’s certainly a surprise gain.

Jiang Yuan looked pleased.

In a blink, with Shu Xiaoxiao coming along, they appeared over the billow of earth fire.

Zhou Ying suddenly noticed the aura appearing near her.

Looking back, her face turns serious.

To resist the suppression of the Cave’s power at the outer layer of Pearl Cave, and manage to fly in the air, this is a Divine Bridge Realm’s ability!

She began to get nervous.

In the wilderness, the last thing you want to encounter is someone whose cultivation far surpasses your own.

Jiang Yuan looked at her nervous expression and smiled.

With a wave of his hand, the six lotuses growing on the sides of the rocks flew into his hand.

“You…..”

Zhou Ying looked furious. Her eyes shot open, her cheeks puffed out, her chest heaved angrily.

Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but glance her way.

Quite feisty, isn’t she? He thought.

Then he took away the dozen or so strands of inherited qi congealed on her.

The next moment, he vanished from the spot along with Shu Xiaoxiao.

When they left, Zhou Ying was finally able to relax. Looking at the two fire lotuses in her storage bracelet, she felt like crying but had no tears.

It was not easy to get a little gain, yet someone intercepted it halfway.

Couldn’t he delay for a bit longer!

Afterwards, she scrambled up with hands and feet, and the golden cub on her shoulder finally moved its paws from its eyes.

After climbing up to flat ground.

“Who is he exactly? How have I not heard that there is such a young heaven genius in Qianyuan Kingdom?” Zhou Ying muttered to herself.

“Forget it, stop thinking about this! Find a place to consume these two fire lotuses. It should enable my Spiritual Sea to be filled to the brim, maybe I can break through to the eighth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm!”

In a narrow, elongated cave, the red light emanating from deep within painted the originally dark cave bright red.

And that Earth Fire Sun Lotus was located deep within the cave.

“Xiaoxiao, wait here for a while, I will deal with the beast guarding the place!”

Jiang Yuan put Shu Xiaoxiao on one side and said to her.

“Yes, Young Master!”

Shu Xiaoxiao obediently nodded. Watching Jiang Yuan’s figure gradually disappear around the bend, she suddenly felt a bit lost.

As the Young Master’s maid, she couldn’t be of much help. Everything had to be done by the Young Master himself!

From the aura emanating inside, she knew that it was a beast equal to the ninth level of Spiritual Sea Realm.

Although her strength was capable of defeating it, it would take some time.

However, if Jiang Yuan took action, it would only require two simple moves. Under such circumstances, how could she be of any help!

At this moment, she fell into deep thought.

These days, as her cultivation enhanced, some fragmented memories began to appear in her mind.

She also saw the figure in her memories, an extremely beautiful woman who looked like her, but was more beautiful than her.

In those memories, there was a secret technique that could greatly help her.

“Should I use it?” She murmured.

The secret technique was created by that woman. She created it based on the supreme existence she was seeking.

It seemed very evil, capable of devouring everything between heaven and earth and using it for oneself.

The reason Shu Xiaoxiao hesitated was that she realized

she had tried to practice the sword technique from her memory a little while ago; the memories about that woman then came to her more often.

She was afraid that as it continued, she would eventually be influenced by those memory fragments.

Am I going to change into someone else?

But thinking of her current strength and cultivation level, which were falling further and further behind Jiang Yuan’s, she made up her mind.

I must use it!

Otherwise, I won’t be able to keep up with the Young Master’s pace and will only become a burden on him in the end.

As long as I stay firm and gradually digest the memories of that woman, I won’t let those memory fragments affect my self-identity.

Once the decision was made, she felt a sigh of relief.

Just as she was thinking, she heard Jiang Yuan’s voice.

“Xiaoxiao, come here!”

She showed a faint smile and quickly ran over.

Feeling the suppression that fell on her body, she became more resolute in her decision.

Her current cultivation level was almost reduced to that of a mortal under the pressure in the outer layer of the Cave.

If they continued to go deeper, wouldn’t she become an exquisite vase, a burden to the Young Master?

After turning a bend.

She saw the figure of Jiang Yuan.

There was a corpse lying next to his feet, as big as a giant jaw. It was only about two zhang long, but even in death, its aura made her feel somewhat scared.

This was a being that had pushed itself to the limit of the Condensation Realm.

Only one step away from becoming a Great Transforming Monster.

However, with the death of the Dragon King, the master of this Cave.

Under the impact of his resentment at the last moment, all the living beings in this world of the Cave became savage beasts without spiritual intelligence.

They lost the possibility to take another step!

Otherwise, this giant jaw should have already transformed into a Great Transforming Monster.

At the end of this cave, she saw a pool of lava bubbling, covered with ever-lasting earth fire.

A fire lotus was swaying in the center of the lava.

Because of this pool of lava and earth fire, the cave was dyed red.

“Young Master, I will protect you!”

“No need!” Jiang Yuan shook his head: “No one will come here! You can safely cultivate!”
