Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

A hundred miles north of Shan Shi County.

In the heart of the soil layer of a large mountain, a tremendous Black Python slowly opened his eyes, revealing a human-like gaze.

“Half a month has passed, it should be safe now!” he whispered to himself.

Then, his shape flickered, and he instantly turned into a human form.

His entire body was covered with black scales, with vertical pupils in his eyes.

This could not be considered a full transformation. If he could further his progress, he would truly become a shapeshifting great demon.

By then, he would be indistinguishable from ordinary humans and could blend into the human world without anyone noticing his true identity.

An ancient mirror floating above his head also slowly descended.

Luckily, I have this sky-machine ancient mirror bestowed by the Ancestral Master, otherwise it wouldn’t be possible to feed on and devour the blood and flesh at will upon reaching the East Sea.

At this thought, he extended his snake-like tongue, licking his lips, and the taste was unforgettable.

“Humans are delicious, even ordinary mortals are so delectable.”

“Especially cultivators, each one is a humanoid elixir, if I devour one or two cultivators at the Spiritual Sea Realm, I’m sure I can break through to the ninth level of the Core Formation.”

“Compared to cultivation through self-effort, devouring is indeed the most efficient method!”

“It’s a pity! The commotion caused here is too conspicuous, I have to find another place to hang around!”

“Hopefully, before the opening of Pearl Cave, I can gather the force of heaven and earth into my body and achieve the transformation into a great demon!”

Suddenly, his expression stiffened.

His gaze quickly fell on the ancient mirror in front of him.

Everything within a thousand miles appeared before him.

“Sixth-level of Spiritual Sea Realm?”

“Could it be a trap?”

He murmured to himself, a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

After a while, he shook his head: “There’s no rush! Be careful, I will observe for a while! They can’t be so foolish, having just lost a fifth-level Spiritual Sea Realm genius, they wouldn’t send a sixth-level genius to deliver himself to death!”

Elsewhere.

Jiang Yuan arrived at this place.

This place is surrounded by mountains.

All around, there are undulating ranges of mountains.

The position where he now was located is in the valley where two mountain ranges intersect, with a dried up riverbed.

Originally, this place should have had ancient trees reaching high into the sky.

But now, within a one to two-mile radius, it was all a scene of devastation after a large battle.

The ancient trees that originally stood here are now nothing. It seems like something had plowed the earth, covering any traces of the battle.

Only a few sword grooves that went deep into the ground remained.

Is this the place where Senior Brother Xu Bai fell?

If a fierce battle happened, it indicated that the strength of the enemy should not have been much higher than that of Senior Brother Xu Bai, it wasn’t an overwhelming power!

But in this situation, Senior Brother Xu Bai was surprisingly unable to escape, he didn’t even use his Small Movement Charm!

It’s indeed weird, it seems that the opponent must have had some extraordinary tricks.

I wonder if it was the effect of the divine weapon or his own skills.

Jiang Yuan looked at the scene before him, lost in thought.

Then he glanced around again, and everything within a hundred meters below the ground instantly fell into his eyes.

Half a month has passed, there was no movement in this area, perhaps it really has left.

It should be the Sect Leader who came here before and scared it away.

Jiang Yuan thought about these things as he continued to use the mystical ability of his double pupil to observe the changes underground.

As for the anomaly of the double pupil, he still dares not reveal it.

Although revealing the anomaly of the double pupil would greatly enhance his ability to see through illusions and comprehend everything.

But this feature is too obvious.

He once learned that double pupils are rare in history.

From ancient times to this day, in the history of millions of years, there were only two people recorded to have had double pupils, including him, there are only three.

One of them fought against a true immortal, and another immortal bowed to him, establishing the majesty of the Human Emperor.

The other opened up the ancient Central State during the most horrifying era of demon calamity, killing several Demon Emperors and Demon Tribe Ancestors.

He brought the tilting balance back to its original state. The influence he left behind is still the first major power of the human race, holding the qi movement of the human race, and facing the biggest threat in the Demon Tribe.

It’s obvious how much attention revealing the anomaly of the double pupil would draw.

There may be opportunities, but it is more likely to bring danger.

This world is still too mysterious for him, and his understanding of the Qianyuan Kingdom is just so-so.

Not to mention those ancient forces with thousands, tens of thousands, and even millions of years of heritage.

You should know that the history of this world is very long. From the extinct Heaven and Earth Communicator in ancient times to the present, a million years have passed.

What about before this period?

Jiang Yuan would rather progress slowly as it is now. As for the double pupil, even if it is not revealed, it still has three times the effect.

As for the miraculous ability hidden in his pupils, he still dared not use it.

He patiently searched here, sweeping his eyes back and forth.

In his eyes, everything within hundreds of meters below the earth pulse fell into his sight.

This is part of the effect of the double pupil. Compared to Lu Qingshan, Jiang Yuan’s investigation ability was many times stronger.

In his eyes, no illusions can hide.

Jiang Yuan used the scene of the great battle as the center and searched inch by inch.

At this time, Lu Qingshan was standing on the city wall of Shan Shi County, looking in the direction of Jiang Yuan.

As soon as Jiang Yuan made a move over there and scattered the clouds, it indicated that he needed his support.

Elsewhere.

The man formed from the Black Python, using the imitation Sky-machine ancient mirror in his hand to quietly observe every move of Jiang Yuan.

Under the effect of his mirror, all the creatures within a thousand miles around him had nowhere to hide.

No matter what the cultivation level is, it cannot escape the investigation of this ancient mirror.

Because this is a top-quality spiritual treasure, an imitation of the Sky-machine realm spiritual treasure, containing the power of the Heavenly Machine Dao law.

The power of the law is a force that transcends the rules.

This ancient mirror has the ability to investigate, conceal the body and qi, and conceal the Heavenly Machine.

That’s why neither the Fourth Elder who arrived initially nor Lu Qingshan could find him when they came here.

Because as soon as they approached within a thousand miles of him, the spirit of this ancient mirror immediately alerted the Black Python.

The Black Python then hid its body by burrowing into the earth. Under the cover of this ancient mirror, even Lu Qingshan at the Divine Bridge Realm could not detect him.

Therefore, no matter how much he searched within miles, and dug three feet deep, he was never able to find the Black Python.

And this is just an imitation of the Sky-machine realm!

If it were the true Sky-machine realm, it would be a Dao treasure, a treasure containing the power of the Heavenly Machine Dao.

After observing Jiang Yuan for a long time, he confirmed that Jiang Yuan was a member of the Supreme Mystery Sect.

He came here, his intentions are very clear, is to find me.

“Very self-confident, aren’t you! Knowing that a fifth-level Spiritual Sea Realm genius just died a short while ago!”

“A mere sixth-level of Spiritual Sea Realm, also daring to come here courting death!”

“I want to see, what makes you so confident?”

The Black Python muttered to himself, then resumed his original shape, gradually slithered towards the foot of Jiang Yuan along the mountain range.

Once he consumes Jiang Yuan as blood and flesh food, he feels that he will certainly be able to step into the ninth level of Core Formation.

Under such a tempting lure, as he has never discovered any danger, he could no longer suppress the greed in his heart.
