Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

At the moment of his ascension, he had complete control over the power of heaven and earth.

Of course, the blade intent on Lu Qingshan’s wound had not received any energy assistance, and was continuously refined by Jiang Yuan.

After a while…

“Done!”

Jiang Yuan exhaled a breath of turbidity and slowly stood up.

“Senior Brother Jiang, you are amazing!” Nangong Yue exclaimed.

Lu Qingshan also slowly got up: “Indeed amazing. If you could get five or ten more years, you would be fearless of any threats from Qianyuan Kingdom.”

Then he frowned: “But now, there’s a bit of a problem.”

Jiang Yuan slightly nodded, agreeing that the current situation was indeed problematic.

The Hegemonic Blade Sect was jokingly referred to as the Hegemonic Sect.

This nickname is enough to reveal their style of conduct.

With a great cultivator at the Dharma Realm presiding over them, they’re a powerful force in the Qianyuan Kingdom, ranking in the top three that nobody dares to offend.

From top to bottom, their style of conduct is extremely domineering.

Wang Xiao might have retreated just for today, but given their style, they will surely make a visit another day.

And then there’s the Qianyuan Kingdom!

The thought of Qianyuan Kingdom made Jiang Yuan frown even more.

The Hegemonic Sect openly only has Wang Xiao, a great cultivator at the third stage of the Dharma Realm.

If he were to put all his cards on the table, he might be able to fight against it.

He could feel that he could barely release the divine ability in his double pupils now.

While it only held the power of a single attack, it was more than enough.

The unexpected use of this kind of trump card could completely turn the tide of the battle.

If that’s not enough, he still has the dharma decree from the Saint to use once to protect his life.

So Jiang Yuan felt he could still handle the Hegemonic Blade Sect.

But the Imperial Family of Qianyuan Kingdom was a real problem.

According to the information he had received, in one more year, the Imperial Family of Qianyuan Kingdom would sweep through all the Immortal Sects of the Qianyuan Kingdom.

To achieve such a goal, the Imperial Family of Qianyuan Kingdom was undoubtedly extraordinary.

Once the Imperial Family of Qianyuan Kingdom dispatched multiple great cultivators of the Dharma Realm, it would be troublesome indeed.

Thinking about this, Jiang Yuan had a headache.

Lu Qingshan looked at Jiang Yuan’s frowning brows, chuckled, and said, “Jiang Yuan, stop worrying so much. The Hegemonic Blade Sect only has one Dharma Realm cultivator. With just him, our Supreme Mystery Sect can certainly deal with it!”

“As for Qianyuan Kingdom, if they dare to dispatch Dharma Realm cultivators, the Sect Master of Heavenly Sword Mountain will certainly not sit idly by as we already have a secret agreement with him, to unite against the Imperial Family of Qianyuan Kingdom.”

Hearing Lu Qingshan’s words, Jiang Yuan also felt somewhat helpless.

What if he told the Sect Master that he had also killed Wang Yu, the apprentice of the Sect Master of Heavenly Sword Mountain?

Would he be shocked?

Various thoughts flashed through Jiang Yuan’s mind before he shook his head.

Forget it. No time to contemplate these things for now.

The imminent priority was to boost his own strength.

To digest and utilize as much cultivation resource as he could, brought from the Pearl Cave.

Each increase in cultivation would heighten his strength.

The gap between him and his enemies was not too big. Given some time, he might just have enough power to face this crisis.

If not, it didn’t mean he was without options to fight back.

If worst comes to worst, he’d activate the Saint’s dharma decree from Dugu Bo and annihilate them all.

After the slaughter, he could hide for a few months. After all, he had a forged Heavenly Mirror with him, they shouldn’t be able to pinpoint his position.

As long as he gave himself a few months, he could achieve the dharma realm.

Once he reached the Dharma Realm, he could settle the scores one by one!

Having thought it through, Jiang Yuan no longer wrestled with this problem.

Then he said: “Sect Master, I have obtained the lifespan-extending item for Elder Kong Nian, we should return to the sect as soon as possible!”

“A lifespan-extending item?” Lu Qingshan’s eyes suddenly brightened: “The lifespan-extending item from Pearl Cave, could it be the longevity fruit?”

Jiang Yuan nodded: “Yes, it’s indeed a longevity fruit!”

“That’s great, let’s return to the sect immediately!” Lu Qingshan was overjoyed: “If Uncle Master Kong Nian could extend his life by a hundred years, he will be able to form his primordial spirit and break through to the Dharma Realm soon. Then, even if Wang Xiao comes after us, we have nothing to fear!”

The gloom in his heart was immediately lifted by more than half.

Now, with the closure of Pearl Cave, everyone began to leave.

Liu Chuyi saw Lu Qingshan’s posture, then he came over with a few disciples.

“Sect Master Lu, are you alright!”

“No harm!” Lu Qingshan said indifferently: “Only a minor injury!”

“Incredible!” Liu Chuyi exclaimed.

“To withstand a blow from Wang Xiao, who has achieved a high level in the Dharma Realm, and only suffer minor injuries, no wonder Sect Master Lu dared to engage Wang Xiao in battle!”

Liu Chuyi shook his head again: “If it were me, I wouldn’t dare!”

Lu Qingshan smiled: “Wang Xiao, as an elder, is highly experienced in the Dharma, yet he bullies the weak and strikes at my Supreme Mystery Sect disciple. If even I, as the Sect Master, am afraid to stand up, how am I fit to be a Sect Master?”

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan’s words, Liu Chuyi had tremendous respect for him: “I admire your courage!”

He then looked at Jiang Yuan again, and said to Lu Qingshan: “Wang Xiao is very protective of his own, and extremely domineering! Be careful, it would be best for Jiang Yuan to leave Qianyuan Kingdom as soon as possible, otherwise Wang Xiao will come looking for him sooner or later.”

Lu Qingshan shook his head: “I have my own plan for this. If I can’t even protect my own disciples, how could I have the face to establish a sect and take disciples?”

“Alright then!” Liu Chuyi saluted him: “Since Sect Master Lu has already thought it through, I should not interfere too much! If in the future, the Qianyuan Imperial Family sends a dharma master to their doorstep, we, as fellow cultivators, will certainly not stand by idly and will provide assistance!”

Lu Qingshan saluted back: “Thanks in advance!”

Soon, Liu Chuyi left with his disciples.

“Uncle Master Liu, do you think the Supreme Mystery Sect can survive this disaster?”

Liu Chuyi pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head: “It’s difficult! If they don’t temporarily forsake Jiang Yuan and adopt delaying tactics, it’s going to be hard to handle this!”

“Soon enough, based on Wang Xiao’s way of doing things, he will definitely come knocking sooner rather than later.”

“Today, it was only because the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect disliked him, that they provided some assistance.”

“When that day comes, there won’t be anyone to help them!”

“Given Wang Xiao’s level of cultivation, his arrival will be nothing less than a disaster!”

“Even if they can resist him relying on the mountain’s barrier, the damage will still be severe!”

“The protective mountain barrier is a dead object after all, while Wang Xiao is a living entity. If he targets the Supreme Mystery Sect for a period of time, it won’t take long for the Sect to decline!”

“Therefore, the best course of action is as I mentioned earlier, to send Jiang Yuan out of Qianyuan Kingdom.”

“With an world so vast, how are they going to cause trouble for Jiang Yuan?”

“Given Jiang Yuan’s talents, it won’t take long for him to become powerful enough to deal with any troubles in the Qianyuan Kingdom.”

After hearing Liu Chuyi’s words, the three disciples all nodded in agreement.

“Uncle Master Liu is right, but if we can anticipate this, wouldn’t Wang Xiao and the others have thought of it too?”

“Since he chose to hold Jiang Yuan accountable, he must have thought of everything!”

“They must be aware of the strength of Jiang Yuan’s talent, so how could they let him escape from Qianyuan Kingdom?”

Listening to his disciple, Liu Chuyi heaved a sigh.

“Yes! That’s why Jiang Yuan’s actions in Pearl Cave were so unwise!”

“Too reckless!”

“After all, these people have powerful backers, even if they ended up becoming true enemies, enduring for a while would have settled everything!”

“Given his talent, hiding himself for five or ten years would have been enough to be fearless of all this.”

“If it weren’t for the intervention by the great cultivator from Tai’an Blessed Land, and the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect today, he would surely have been killed on the spot!”
