Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

A trace of joy flashed across his face.

Epiphany!

So, this is what an epiphany is!

No wonder the word is so laden with the colors of legends!

He marveled inwardly.

In that recent moment of epiphany, he had advanced his understanding of the martial essence of the Wind Thunder Sword technique from a beginner to perfection.

More importantly, as his understanding of martial essence reached perfection, his spiritual cultivation also soared rapidly during the epiphany.

He felt an occasional, unusual bulging sensation in his brow area, a discomfort caused by the significant progress of his spirit in a short period.

He would need to wait for his body to slowly adapt before this feeling would subside.

At this moment, he had fully grasped the martial essence of the Wind Thunder Sword technique.

He finally understood why Li Hao was so desperate to gain this sword technique.

Because the conception of this sword technique was extremely profound.

It’s derived from the formidable heavenly might.

Against the overwhelming thunderbolt and the wild winds, human strength is so insignificant.

Such profound insights, once the martial essence of this technique is grasped.

The combat prowess would inevitably be terrifying.

It’s like an implication of dimensionality reduction, how could a mortal counter the formidable heavenly might!

Moreover, after Jiang Yuan perfected his grasp of this martial essence, he found that the perfected martial essence would refine his spirit, greatly accelerating his spiritual cultivation.

Just in that epiphany, he saved several months of spiritual cultivation.

And yet, he still didn’t feel any bottlenecks.

It seemed that his capacity to hold spirit surpassed others, it was extraordinary.

[Name]: Jiang Yuan

[Realm]: Body Forging Eighth Layer

[Innate Fate]: Longevity (purple), Dragon Tiger Body (blue), Innate Wisdom

(blue)

[Qi Yun Power]: o

[Luck Seed]: None

Back to square one!

If his speculation is correct, to upgrade the blue Fate, the required Qi Yun Power would probably have to multiply by ten again, requiring one thousand strands.

Given the current rate of accumulation, it should take just over a year.

No rush, no rush!

Once the innate qi luck on Shu Xiaoxiao’s status panel is developed, she should be able to start body forging practice.

By then, my accumulation speed will increase significantly.

With that in mind, Jiang Yuan pushed open the door to his room.

Outside the house, Jiang Yuan was taken aback by the sight of Uncle Ma gaping at the entrance with wide eyes.

“Uncle Ma, why are you staring at me like that?”

“Young Master, did you… did you grasp the martial essence of the Wind Thunder Sword technique?” Uncle Ma swallowed hard.

As a matter of course, Jiang Yuan replied: “Naturally, what’s up?”

“What’s up?” Uncle Ma looked incredulous, “How did you become so powerful all of a sudden, mastering the martial essence of the Wind Thunder Sword technique in just one day? This efficiency, it’s just like a god!”

Jiang Yuan smiled, “I have a high comprehension ability, didn’t you all know that? Today I was in an excellent condition, had good luck and entered the state of epiphany!”

“Epiphany?”

“Could an epiphany also depend on luck?”

Uncle Ma looked utterly disbelieving.

“Hmm!” Jiang Yuan nodded matter-of-factly: “Of course! Anything is possible!”

Then he turned to Gu MO and said, “How about a spar?”

“Good!”

Gu Mo’s eyes flared up with intense fighting spirit.

Listening to their conversation, Uncle Ma suppressed his doubts and quickly stepped back.

Curiosity glinted in his eyes.

Who was stronger, the young master or Gu MO?

These days, Gu MO trained and practiced with him. He was well aware of Gu Mo’s progression.

His body reforging had entered its later stages, about to perfection, ready to step into the eighth layer and start cultivating his spirit.

Moreover, he had long since grasped the essence of the wind from the Wind Thunder Sword technique.

And he had already mastered the sword stance, a control over swordsmanship.

Being able to grasp the sword stance indicated that Gu MO not only had an extremely monstrous talent for sword arts, but his spirit must also be naturally extremely powerful.

Without a highly unified will and concentration, it would be impossible to master the sword stance.

Once he breaks through to the eighth layer and begins to cultivate his spirit.

Given his naturally powerful spirit, his progress in spiritual cultivation would surely be rapid. It wouldn’t take him long to advance to the ninth layer. The young master’s strength was even more incomprehensible to him.

The strength of his physical body was rarely seen in the world.

Lei Zhan, the second in command of the Black Wind Tribe, was naturally strong and famous for his physical strength.

However, even so, he was easily suppressed by the Young Master who was at the same realm.

He was practically defenseless.

Such a feat was frightening!

Now the Young Master has suddenly gained insight, thoroughly understanding the true meaning of the Wind Thunder Sword technique.

In this regard, he has completely surpassed the old master’s original understanding of the Wind Thunder Sword technique.

Looking at the old master’s past performance, a full understanding of the true meaning of martial arts would undoubtedly be terrifying!

Around Lin’an County, as far as he knew, there was no secret teaching that could match the Wind Thunder Swordplay.

In this scenario, it would be fair to say that the young master was invincible among his peers.

He could not comprehend the monstrous talents of both the Young Master and Lei Zhan and had no idea who would triumph in a showdown between them.

At this moment.

The two had already reached the middle of the courtyard.

This place had long been transformed into a daily practice area, so the field

was exceptionally spacious.

“Young master, be careful!” Gu MO warned.

As his words fell, a chilling light suddenly burst from the long sword in his hand, with countless sharp sword auras flashing around it.

At this moment, his figure was at its utmost speed.

This strike seemed like a head-on gale, blocking all the surrounding space, leaving no place to hide.

Jiang Yuan’s eyes narrowed. Is this what sword momentum is?

Gu MO has indeed made progress, both in terms of power and speed, which are much stronger than before.

If it were earlier, he would have been completely unable to dodge such overpowering pressure that sealed everything and could only defend.

This came from the contest at the spiritual level. His spirit was too weak to resist the mental lock.

Therefore, he only had the power to defend and not to attack.

But now it is completely different.

He casually waved the heavy sword in his hand.

Clang!

A mournful tremble of a long sword echoed, and Gu Mo’s sword was immediately deflected.

At this moment, there was a look of shock in his eyes.

Feeling this, he tightened his grip on his long sword.

The Young Master’s power has become even more terrifying!

Jiang Yuan laughed, “Feel it? This is the true meaning of Thunder.”

“The momentum is like a thunderbolt, moving like a gale, that is the complete martial intent of this sword technique.”

As soon as his words fell.

He moved.

So fast! Shock flickered in Gu Mo’s eyes.

He quickly raised his sword to block, intending to resist the force.

But at the next moment.

Clang!

Another hit came, causing his arm to go numb. The long sword slipped out of his hand in an instant.

At this point, Gu Mo’s arm was still trembling slightly.

This power…

A tumultuous wave swept across his heart.

In the face of this power, he was completely incapable of resistance.

Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

The Young Master at this juncture was far more terrifying than he was a few days ago.

Regaining his composure, he asked, “Young master, is this the effect of the complete martial intent of the Wind Thunder technique?”

Jiang Yuan nodded, “Correct!”

“With my martial intent now complete, empowered by the martial intent of Wind Thunder Sword technique, my speed and strength have increased exponentially!”

Upon hearing this, Uncle Ma couldn’t help but marvel at the horror of this martial intent. It’s no wonder that when the old master initially comprehended it, he was able to dominate within the eighth level of Body Forging.

During Jiang Yuan’s previous fight against Li Hao, his power had already reached a staggering 7000 to 8000 catties.

In the subsequent battle against Lei Zhan, his power even exceeded 10,000 catties.

Not to mention that he has been in the eighth stage of Body Forging for a long time now, and his strength is frightfully high.

Under such circumstances, empowered by the martial intent, the power he exerted once again exponentially increased.

The effect was bound to be extremely horrifying.

Jiang Yuan’s strike had multiple times the power compared to Gu Mo. It’s no wonder Gu MO couldn’t withstand even a single move.

With the suppression of realm, power, and speed, in addition to a spirit not weaker than Gu MO’s, under such an all-rounded oppression.

It would be natural for Gu MO to lose.

At this time, Gu MO picked up his dropped long sword, saying, “Young master, I want to experience the oppressiveness of your martial intent! ”

Jiang Yuan nodded, “Okay!”

He then turned to Uncle Ma, “Uncle Ma, you should also try and adapt to it..”
