Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Nameless Valley.

Two figures suddenly appeared at this place.

The newcomers were none other than those two Elders of the Sunset Sect.

“Over there!” one of them said.

In an instant, the two appeared where Zhao Li and his companions fell.

Seeing the crimson ground beneath their feet, as well as four somewhat twisted corpses, their expressions tightened.

One of them, his eyes cold, said, “As expected, all of them are dead. It seems that the murderer is Jiang Yuan from the Supreme Mystery Sect! This person must not be left alive!”

The other one, witnessing his disciple’s death as well, had murder intent surging in his heart. He slowly nodded his head.

“According to the information disclosed by Zheng Kai, their purpose was to find a cave dwelling. There was a conflict here, which indicates that the entrance to the cave dwelling must be in this valley.”

“Let’s split up and look for it. If we can find it, we’ll act immediately!”

“Alright!” The other one nodded, and both their figures disappeared from the area.

With their Divine Bridge Realm cultivations, they quickly searched the entire area just a split second later.

A moment later.

The two figures reappeared in the clearing.

One of them shook his head, “We didn’t find any trace. It suggests that the cave dwelling is situated in another space. We certainly cannot see it with our current abilities.”

The other one sighed softly, “What a pity we arrived late. More than half a month has passed, and they must’ve already taken the treasure and left!”

At that moment, atop the valley.

An old man with white hair was calmly watching the two men below.

Elders of the Sunset Sect!

They had also managed to trace their way here.

This brat really has some nerve, daring to stay even after committing such a murder.

If I hadn’t come to check on a whim, when he comes out, wouldn’t he have to use the lifesaving card I left him to escape this calamity?

A few days ago, Kong Nian had found this place feeling an inkling when Jiang Yuan and the others hadn’t returned.

Upon seeing the bodies in the valley, he knew right away that Jiang Yuan and the others vanished here.

In his eyes, although Jiang Yuan did not become his disciple officially, he had accepted his lifetime of wisdom and insights.

Consequently, he was effectively his successor, and whether he officially became his disciple did not matter.

He also somewhat understood Jiang Yuan’s thoughts – this young man was incredibly independent.

He’d joined the Supreme Mystery Sect purely for cultivation, and this sect – it could’ve been the Sunset Sect, or any other – mattered little to him.

He guessed that in Jiang Yuan’s eyes, he would inevitably leave the Qianyuan Kingdom – merely a remote corner of the Eastern Region – and venture into a greater world someday.

Just like that unparalleled heaven genius of Heaven Lead Peak in the past, he competed with geniuses, shared in the strife that continued for hundreds of thousands of years between the human race and the demon tribe.

Presently, the qi movements of both humans and demon tribes were equally dividing the world. Whichever side was more significant could possibly become the protagonist of this era.

In the bygone eras, in some eras, humans were the protagonists of the world.

In contrast, in some other eras, humans were a minority, even struggling at the bottom.

Thinking of these, he smiled lightly.

He supported a heaven genius like Jiang Yuan venturing out into the wider world.

So he also refrained from thinking about taking him as a disciple.

Because Jiang Yuan had shown such an exceptional talent that he couldn’t justify being his master.

If that was the case, why bother becoming his encumbrance?

For now, he would serve as his protector, safeguarding his safety in early stages. In doing so, he would also contribute to the rise of humans’ qi movement.

As he was contemplating, the two men at the foot of the hill had finished their discussion.

One of them scooped up the several corpses on the ground and turned into a streak of light, flying in the direction of the Sunset Sect.

The other one found a place to dwell on the cliffside and waited quietly.

He had made up his mind to wait for half a year. If nothing unexpected happened in half a year, or if news came that Jiang Yuan had emerged, he would leave.

Otherwise, the deep hatred for the death of the Sunset Sect’s four disciples could not go unavenged.

And as an elder of the Sunset Sect, it was his responsibility to secretly wipe out these sect geniuses whose rise could jeopardize the plans of the Qianyuan Kingdom’s imperial family.

Two months later.

Situated in the cave, both Liu Jie and Liu Rushi had stopped practicing.

They’d already reached the sixth level of the meridian breaking realm and had opened 251 meridians. They were just one short of breaking through to the next realm, reaching the seventh level of the meridian breaking realm.

But they didn’t dare break through at present.

Because their divine souls were no longer strong enough to support them in their breakthroughs.

At the moment of breakthrough, if they were unable to suppress the raging spiritual energy within their bodies, they could be injured lightly or suffer a Qi deviation severely and damage their meridians.

No one dared to take such a risk in forcing a breakthrough.

Looking at Jiang Yuan who was still in deep meditation far away, Liu Jie sighed: “The Place of Meditation of a great cultivator is the biggest opportunity for Brother Jiang. It allowed him to advance to the ninth level of the meridian breaking realm, and now he’s still advancing towards the final level.”

“I wonder how strong his divine soul must be, allowing him to breakthrough to three realms so easily.”

When Liu Rushi heard Liu Jie’s sigh, she also spoke up: “That’s the difference between a real heaven genius and ordinary cultivators like us. When I encountered such an opportunity, I could only breakthrough one realm and then had to pause cultivation.”

“For him, as long as there are enough resources, he can break through to heights that we can’t even imagine. I guess he can break through to the tenth level of the meridian breaking realm here, open 360 meridians, and obtain the Great Zhou’s Number.”

Liu Jie also found it hard to believe: “If that’s the case, it’s simply astonishing. He has only joined the sect for a little over half a year! He has completed a major realm’s journey in such a short time. In no time at all, he’ll be able to break through to the Spiritual Sea Realm.”

“This speed, it’s unimaginable even upon thinking!”
