Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

“That’ll do!” nodded Lu Qingshan.

Meanwhile.

The Black Python, which had landed on the ground, swept its gaze around and quickly locked onto Jiang Yuan. Their eyes met in the air.

Seeing Jiang Yuan, the semi-human form of the Black Python gave a ferocious grin, then turned to report to someone next to it.

A few moments later, that man’s gaze landed on Jiang Yuan.

[Name]: Ao Feng

[Realm]: Second Level of Transfiguration Realm

[Innate Qi Movement]: Dragon Clan’s Bloodline (blue), Sea Dragon Body (blue), Master of Water Veins (blue), Mastery of Water Control (green), Qi and blood flow like a river (green)…

[Dragon Clan’s Bloodline]: Possesses a weak dragon blood, greatly enhances cultivation aptitude, significantly strengthens the physical body.

[Sea Dragon Body]: Born as a Sea Dragon, greatly enhances bodily strength.

[Master of Water Veins]: The ruler of the water veins, can mobilize water from mountains, rivers and lakes for own use. When near water veins, cultivation speed is greatly enhanced.

[Mastery of Water Control]: Expert in Water Control Art.

Seeing his realm, Jiang Yuan frowned slightly. As he suspected, the Black Python had indeed sought the protection of a powerful demon from the Transfiguration Realm.

He began to wonder how strong could a demon from the Transfiguration Realm be.

Could he be a match for it?

Elsewhere.

Ao Feng said to the Black Python, “So, he is the one who stole the Heavenly Machine Realm bestowed on you by your Ancestral Master, right?”

The Black Python replied respectfully, “Yes, it is!”

“Once we’re inside, I’ll kill him when the opportunity presents. Don’t worry, just follow me closely from now on!”

“Thank you, my Lord!”

The Black Python exclaimed excitedly.

Being able to follow Ao Feng filled him with sheer excitement.

Ao Feng was of high prestige. He was a genuine Azure Sea Dragon, hailing from the Azure Sea Dragon clan, which also possessed the dragon bloodline.

The Dragon clan was the supreme ruler of the East Sea.

Although an Azure Sea Dragon’s bloodline wasn’t pure enough, they were still considered rulers.

Thus, the fact that Ao Feng was named after the Ao Clan was evidence of his unusual status.

The most influential ruler of the East Sea was the Ao Clan.

Legend has it, Ao was the surname of the genuine dragon clan!

Even though Ao Feng’s Ancestral Master wasn’t as powerful as the former Sea Dragon King, he was still making strides towards that domain.

Given his lineage and status, Ao Feng was peerlessly revered here.

If his Ancestral Master were a Demon King who possessed a completed Cave World, his descendants would sneer at a mere Pearl Cave.

Just like how the human Saint took Pearl Cave for granted back then, leaving a few casual rules and drawing the land boundary for their descendants to cultivate.

Below the Demon King was the realm of Ao Feng’s Ancestral Master.

Ao Feng was quite famous among his clan’s members. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been eligible to participate in the journey to Pearl Cave in the human territory.

Ao Feng soon averted his gaze from Jiang Yuan.

He glanced around and seemed a bit disappointed.

“Zhou Qiu, Lin Yuqing hasn’t arrived! I was hoping to spar with them before the opening of Pearl Cave!”

A beautiful woman next to him responded, “No rush, we’ll have an opportunity once inside. Unless they dare not enter the inner three layers! The inner three layers are not as vast as the outer ones. We will meet them sooner or later!”

“True!” Ao Feng nodded, cast a sidelong glance at the woman from the Yaksha tribe and broke into a faint smile.

Elsewhere.

Lu Qingshan, looking at the demon tribes that had just emerged on the small island, warned his people, “Remember, avoid the East Sea Demon Tribe at all costs. If you die in Pearl Cave, you’ll die in vain. No one can save you or avenge you!”

“The East Sea Demon Tribe’s quota is limited, so those near our Qianyuan Kingdom’s territory intensely compete for quotas. The weakest of those who make it here are high-level Condensation Realm demons, and five Transfiguration Realm demons show up this time!”

Kou Dong and the others nodded in agreement, “Understood!”

Nangong Yue stuck out her tongue, “In the outermost layer, I won’t run into the East Sea demons, right?”

“Even if you don’t encounter demons, don’t let down your guard. Sometimes, folks from our own tribe could be more ruthless than demons. Understand?” Lu Qingshan looked at Nangong Yue seriously.

“Understood!” she chided in a low voice.

Jiang Yuan, looking at the demons in the distance, asked, “Sect Leader, can we kill the demons if we meet them in the Pearl Cave?”

“Yes, you may!”

Not far away, Dao Derivation Sect disciples who heard this sentence looked over in surprise.

Li Tianxuan said lightly, “No wonder Jiang Yuan rejected our team-up request, turns out he has such strength!”

“I doubt it! He might just be bragging!” the woman beside him retorted.

Li Tianxuan looked at her, “Junior Sister, don’t think everyone else is a fool. Who do you think he’s bragging to? You? Or me? If you knew about Jiang Yuan’s growth, you would know that if he said such words, they’re probably true!”

“But… but he’s too young, to kill the Demon Tribe, one needs at least the strength of the high levels of the Spiritual Sea Realm!”

Li Tianxuan shook his head, “Don’t underestimate the top heaven genius. If you’ve ever seen a true heaven genius in this world, you’d understand that the gap between heaven geniuses is sometimes greater than the gap between mortals and us!”

“I still don’t believe it!” she muttered unconvinced.

At that moment.

From the sky, the sound of thunder suddenly echoed.

In the distant horizon, golden rays burst forth, accompanied by rolling Red Clouds.

Seeing this, Lu Qingshan was overjoyed, “The Kui Ox Battleship, The Tai’an Blessed Land has sent their envoys! With them around, we don’t have to worry about disturbances from the East Sea Demon Tribe!”

Tai’an Blessed Land?

Jiang Yuan was slightly taken aback, “Sect Leader, what is the Tai’an Blessed Land?”

Lu Qingshan showed a relaxed smile, “Having a complete cave world and lineage, that is what a Blessed Land is! The Tai’an Blessed Land’s heritage is on par with the fallen Demon King from the past!”

“So, what are they doing here?” Jiang Yuan asked in surprise, then added, “Owning a complete cave world, they shouldn’t have any interest in the Pearl Cave, right?”

Lu Qingshan nodded and said, “That’s indeed the case, they possess at least one complete cave world, so naturally, they would not be interested in Pearl Cave. Their main purpose of coming here is to maintain order and prevent the East Sea Demon Tribe from causing chaos! That’s why I just said, the demons in Pearl Cave are up for grabs! We have enough backup here to protect you!”

“Got it!” Jiang Yuan nodded in understanding.

While the two were talking.

A thousand-feet-long battleship began to hover slowly over the island.

At this moment, the drumming that sounded like thunder gradually ceased.

A middle-aged man in golden armor slowly descended from it, followed by three young men and women.

Jiang Yuan’s gaze was fixed.

[Name]: Wei He

[Realm]: Ninth Level of Dharma Image Realm

[Innate Qi Movement]: Innate Daoist disciple (Purple), Martial techniques tamer (Purple), Innate wits (Blue), Chief of sword path (Blue)….., Qi Movement Bodyguard (Blue)

[Innate Daoist Disciple]: Born with a high affinity with the Great Dao, united body and path, unparalleled combat power.

[Martial Techniques Tamer]: Able to transform techniques into a path, any martial techniques or methods in his hands can be understood to their profundity.

[Innate Wits]: Innate transcendent wisdom, remarkable comprehension, occasionally able to enter a state of sudden enlightenment.

[Chief of Sword Path]: Extraordinary talent in the way of the sword. Cultivation in any sword path techniques are as if divinely assisted with enhanced power.

[Qi Movement Bodyguard]: Rank on the Supreme Ranking grants its Qi Movement Protection, capable of resolving disasters, extremely difficult to fall outside of the list.

Seeing his extensive qi movement status panel and innate qi movement, Jiang Yuan was greatly shocked.

This person was, by far, the most terrifying and powerful existence he had ever encountered.

No wonder he could be listed in the Supreme Ranking!

His gaze swept across the East Sea Demon Tribe and the great demon that was also in the Dharma Realm, immediately shuddered, blood leaking from their mouths.

Their faces showed utmost terror.

The voice of Wei He indifferently resounded, “When you enter my human territory, retract your dragon might. If you dare to offend again, I’ll slay you on the spot.”

At this moment, the place fell into silent astonishment.

Lu Qingshan’s eyes showed shock, “Who is he? He’s so strong!”

A Daoist from the Dao Derivation Sect came over and said calmly, “True names are recorded on the Supreme Ranking. This person’s name is Wei He!”

“A heaven genius on the Supreme Ranking! No wonder he’s so strong!” Lu Qingshan breathed out slowly, murmuring to himself.

At this time, the three young men and women behind Wei He looked at everyone present with arrogance.

Although they were only searching for inner sect disciples in the Tai’an Blessed Land and could not compare to the top ten Daoist disciples.

However, compared to these small forces present, they were completely different.

The status of a Blessed Land with a cave dwelling was enough to suppress these small forces’ heaven geniuses.

Wei He briefly showed his face, intimidated the East Sea Demon Tribe, then brought the three young men and women behind him back to the Kui Ox Battleship hovering above the lake.

Seeing him leave, everyone on the island breathed a sigh of relief.

The East Sea Demon Tribe was completely discouraged, they had recognised the identity of Wei He and naturally did not dare to be arrogant any longer.

Their auras were well restrained.
