Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Acquiring such a heaven genius, and more importantly, a heaven genius who emphasizes the physical side, how can he not be happy?

The key is, this person was born in Qianyuan, a small country of the Eastern Region.

He is not of ancient bloodline, nor a Sacred Land of Dao realm.

Not even a force of Cave’s Blessings, it’s just a very common kingdom in the Eastern Region.

From what he witnessed, the most skilled in this kingdom was just a minor practitioner at the Dharma-nature level.

No excellent education or inheritance, no finest heavenly treasures of the world to nourish him.

Such performance could only be attributed to his innate talent.

This is a piece of uncut jade, flawless uncut jade. His future potential is huge.

The elder with white hair opened his mouth while stroking his beard, “Young friend, have you heard of Holy Institute?”

“Holy Institute?”

Jiang Yuan was somewhat surprised, then shook his head, “Never heard of it.”

“It’s normal that you haven’t heard of it, after all, you only grew up in Qianyuan Kingdom, yet to encounter various major powers.”

“Is Qianyuan Kingdom very small?”

“Very small! It’s merely a grain in the ocean in the Eastern Region, let alone in a world with Five Realms and Four Seas!”

The white-haired elder sighed slightly at this point, “Even the Five Realms and Four Seas are simply a grain in the vast universe!”

“Alas, it’s a pity, a pity!”

Hearing the universe mentioned by the white-haired elder, Jiang Yuan’s heart was immediately filled with immense curiosity.

At the birth of the Ancient Double Pupils, when he acquired the innate qi movement,

his eyes seemed to possess the innate qi, which enabled him to see Extra-territorial Stars in an instant.

Just in that very moment, he saw the pitch-black depth of the universe, without a trace of light, only the original darkness existed.

If this world also exists in the vast universe, with his memory from the previous life, this is completely wrong!

Although the universe is cold and dark, it is also filled with billions of stars, how could it be pitch black?

Looking at this white-haired elder, Jiang Yuan knew that this Saint of the human race is most likely to answer his inner doubts.

He could no longer restrain his curiosity and voiced out his doubts.

“Senior, I am very curious, since the Five Realms and Four Seas are just a grain in the ocean in the universe, does this imply there are other life forms present in the vast universe?”

“No more!” The white-haired elder shook his head and sighed, “In the previous era, the situation you mentioned indeed existed, ancient life stars were scattered throughout the vast universe, nurturing life.”

“But in this era, it’s all gone! In the entire universe, only the Five Realms and Four Seas are inhabited.”

“Or one could say, there’s also an upper realm, yet after the dead-end connection, the two realms are separated, we cannot travel to each other, souls cannot become immortals, this is the origin of the Holy Institute.”

Hearing the white-haired elder mentioning the Holy Institute again, Jiang Yuan dared not ask any more questions.

It was clear that he wanted to explain to him what the Holy Institute was. If he diverted the topic again and annoyed the big shot, it would not be good.

With his current strength, he had to be submissive.

Therefore, Jiang Yuan respectfully asked, “I kindly ask Senior to enlighten me, what is the Holy Institute?”

A hint of a smile appeared on the face of the white-haired elder, “I was just about to tell you, I am Dugu Bo, the human race’s holy body, and I am also the dean of the Holy Institute.”

Human race’s holy body? Jiang Yuan was secretly astonished in his heart.

He had heard of this physique. It had been recorded a few times in ancient history.

It is a nearly invincible physique, running through the body of this type of physique is golden blood.

Unbelievably sacred!

With this physique, the physical body is invincible. Even if the Dragon Clan dared to fight with the strong ones possessing the human race’s holy body,

they would easily be torn apart, there is no chance of winning.

Similarly, there were Strong Ones of the human race who possessed the Holy Body, who developed this physique to its extreme, stood at the pinnacle of the Human Realm, and even fought with true immortals.

The eventual result was the fall of the true immortal, establishing the supreme reputation of this physique.

Its power was no less than that of the Ancient Double Pupils that Jiang Yuan possessed.

It was indeed a truly invincible physique.

In terms of physical strength, this physique was undoubtedly the best.

No wonder he is the Dean of the Holy Institute, no wonder the Dao Institute he founded is called the Holy Institute.

He tried to open the Status Panel of this white-haired old man, but unfortunately, it was still the same as before.

This was a mere apparition, with no Status Panel.

Suppressing the surprise in his heart, he respectfully saluted, “So it was Senior Dugu, I’ve met Senior Dugu!”

“You know me?”

“Uh… I don’t!”

“You young lad!” Dugu Bo chuckled.

Then he continued, “As I said before, after the extinction of the ancient celestial connection, the path of the divine soul could not attain immortality, and so I founded the Holy Institute.”

“The Holy Institute is different from the longstanding Divine Institute. The Holy Institute only recruits disciples with invincible bodies and focuses on the study of the physical body.”

“Do you know what the Divine Institute is?” Dugu Bo suddenly asked.

Jiang Yuan pondered slightly, “The word ‘divine’ in Divine Institute should be related to the divine soul, right!”

“Correct!” Dugu Bo nodded slightly: “Your guess is correct, the Divine Institute specializes in the study of the divine soul, their purpose is to endure physical hardship for eternal divine soul.”

“The Divine Institute has existed since before the extinction of the ancient celestial connection and has made great contributions to the cultivation of the human race.”

“But because they couldn’t attain immortality, the research direction of the divine soul has strayed more and more these years, and some people have even developed the way of seizing bodies in order to extend their lifespan!”

He shook his head slightly and sighed, “Such method is indeed effective. The limit of lifespan mostly comes from the physical body. Their rejuvenation through body-snatching can indeed extend the lifespan to some extent.”

“But what’s the point of this? With endless hidden dangers, the path to immortality is destroyed, and the soul cannot blend with the body, making all the cultivation efforts wasted.”

“I cannot agree with this kind of behavior, and thus I created the Holy Institute.”

“I feel that there is a great secret hidden within the body, the human body is a universe in itself.”

“The path of cultivation is also a bit strange. The people who created this path in ancient times obviously wanted to take one step at a time, and continuously develop the small universe within the body.”

“Opening the Cave Realm, the ultimate goal should be to evolve into a world of its own.”

“But to attain immortality requires abandoning the physical body. The Cave Realm World will also be abandoned and the immortal body will be condensed in the upper realm!”

“Although the lifespan will increase by tens to hundreds of times in this way, it is obviously not in line with the original intention of cultivation.”

“This is an unfinished path!”

At this point, his eyes were extremely fervent.

“This unfinished path should be hidden within the body. The body is the greatest secret of the human body.”

“This path of cultivation seems to have nothing to do with the physical body, but in fact, it is closely related!”

“In the Meridian Breaking Realm, the stronger the body, the more fearless of the violent spiritual energy, and the spiritual veins will be more tough!”

“In the Spiritual Sea Realm, only those with strong bodies can open an initial Spiritual Sea of nine feet nine inches.”

“In the Divine Bridge Realm, the stronger the body, the higher the maximum limit of the power that can be carried. If you can freely step into the sublimated realm, you will know the mystery of a strong body.Only a strong body can withstand this power.”

“In the Dharma Realm, the first hundred dharmas all require a not weak body, otherwise, even if the primordial spirit can withstand the vast divine power of the dharma, the body will still collapse.”

“The subsequent cultivation realms are also very important to the body, especially the Cave Realm, which is extremely crucial! Many people come to this step, and then pursue the strength of the body, just to be able to smoothly open the Cave Realm World. If the body is too weak, the Cave Realm World that is opened can cause the body to collapse on the spot!”

“Do you understand?”

In response to the questioning from the Dean of the Holy Institute, Jiang Yuan nodded repeatedly.

“I understand!”

“Are you willing to join the Holy Institute? Joining the Holy Institute does not conflict with your sect. The Holy Institute is like a mortal academy!”
