Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Under the raging aftershocks.

Voidness produced invisible tremors. Apart from the mountain peak where Li Yao and Qin Yun were staying, the rest of the mountains collapsed into dust under the sway of the aftershocks.

The cavern where Jiang Yuan was located was also shaken by tremors, and stalactites fell from the ceiling.

The falling stalactites hit the ground, causing it to rumble and break into countless fragments.

Jiang Yuan made a casual gesture, and the cavern became calm again.

Shu Xiaoxiao also opened her eyes, instantly appearing beside Jiang Yuan.

“Young Master!”

Jiang Yuan merely nodded. His gaze still fixed on the sky above.

Following the earth-shattering collision, the silver bracelet was directly knocked away. With a rattle, it flew back into the hands of the old man with white hair.

That jade-colored fist remained unscathed. Even after taking such a heavy blow from the silver bracelet, it showed no abnormality.

However, having lost its target, the consumable had only the strength for one strike and gradually disintegrated in mid-air!

“Old thing, you deserve to die!”

The middle-aged man glared fiercely at the old servant beside Qin Yun. His face filled with anger.

The Second Elder was killed in one strike. This was far beyond his expectations.

Using this jade pendant caused him great pain.

This jade pendant held the full strength of a cultivator in the Ninth Level of Dharma Image Realm.

It could kill most of the great cultivators below the seventh level of the Dharma Image Realm. Its value was extremely high, even more expensive than the ordinary high-quality spiritual treasures!

Using it against the old servant beside Qin Yun made him feel extremely painful.

“Family Head, do not be angry!” An elder beside him said calmly, “Despite losing a consumable, we have acquired a divine weapon!”

The elder’s eyes momentarily flashed with intense desire, looking greedily at the silver bracelet held by Li Yao.

If such tremendous divine power could be unleashed by the old man with only the first level of Dharma Image Realm.

What would it be like if he, who was a great cultivator at the second level of Dharma Image Realm, were to control it?

Wouldn’t he be able to compete with cultivators at the fourth or even fifth levels of the Dharma Image Realm?

Even fight against the ones at the sixth level!

The middle-aged man also quickly composed himself.

His gaze fell on the silver bracelet.

Indeed!

This divine weapon was the real treasure!

This was a blessing in disguise.

Li Yao was holding the trembling silver bracelet in his hand, his face bitter and his heart full of deep despair.

This greatly anticipated strike, could only kill a cultivator at the third level of the Dharma Image Realm.

It was blocked by Chu Family Head’s activation of a consumable.

Li Yao gently stroked Qin Yun’s cheek.

“Young Miss, I have failed you! I could not protect you; I have defied the trust given to me by the lady of the house!”

“Grandpa Li, it is Yun’er who has burdened you!”

The middle-aged man, sensing Li Yao’s present state, calmly said, “Still putting on a little master-servant drama when you’re at death’s door?”

“I should have killed you long ago. You should accompany your young miss on her journey! Saving her the trouble of looking after herself on the road!”

Then, The middle-aged man waved his hand, “Elders, let’s do it together! Kill this dog!”

…

Inside the mountain, Jiang Yuan watched all this and smiled faintly.

The Chu Family Head was at the third level of Dharma Image Realm.

If this was the limit of the Chu Family’s power, then he could indeed provide assistance!

His gaze fell on Qin Yun’s Status Panel again.

Dao Fruit inherited from the supreme ancestor. Truly remarkable talent.

If he helped her overturn her fate, he could surely obtain another Destiny Seed.

And it should be a high-level Destiny Seed.

Having thought of this, Jiang Yuan no longer hesitated.

“Xiaoxiao, stay here and don’t move!”

The next moment.

Jiang Yuan flickered and instantly appeared on the mountain top, ahead of Qin Yun and Li Yao.

His sudden appearance forced the two very cautious Chu Family Elders to halt abruptly.

Seeing Jiang Yuan’s face, they both visibly relaxed.

Such a young man couldn’t have a high level of cultivation.

Therefore, they quickly scolded, “Where did this wild boy come from! Get lost!”

The Chu Family Head looked at Jiang Yuan. A cold light appeared in his eyes.

Jiang Yuan’s sudden appearance had taken him by surprise.

Upon arriving, he had detected two auras under this mountain, but they were both at the Divine Bridge Realm.

This young man who had emerged from within the mountain wasn’t among those he had sensed earlier.

This unexpected development made him feel a sense of unease.

However, looking at Jiang Yuan’s incredibly young face, he further calmed down.

At such a young age, no matter how strong he could possibly get!

Jiang Yuan turned to the old servant of the Qin Family and asked, “Old Gentleman, do you need help?”

Upon seeing Jiang Yuan’s face, hope sprang up in Li Yao’s heart as he noticed the unpredictable aura surrounding him.

However, when Jiang Yuan turned his head around, all the hope he had harbored vanished into thin air.

“Young man, I appreciate your kindness. You should leave as soon as you can!”

“Don’t just throw your life away needlessly!”

Jiang Yuan squatted down and stroked Qin Yun’s thin face.

He completely understood her internal conditions.

How cruel of the Chu Family!

How cruel of the Chu Family Head!

From close sensing, he could tell that Qin Yun’s bone age had reached fourteen years.

However, her appearance was malnourished, akin to a seven or eight-year old girl.

Her internal conditions were extremely unhealthy, with severe anemia and blood deficiency. Much of her bone marrow was missing and her chest bone too was completely removed.

Without the prolonging effect of elixirs, her life could vanish within a few days.

As for the origin of this situation, Jiang Yuan obtained a rough outline after silently observing from within the mountain earlier.

This little girl was the daughter of that middle-aged man; his biological daughter!

As for the little girl’s mother, she was of extraordinary origin.

She carried on the bloodline of the past Supreme who reached the pinnacle of the human path.

It seems that this lineage may have declined, and had married into the Chu Family, bearing this little girl in exchange for certain benefits.

The fact that this little girl carries the Qin surname instead of Chu likely was one of the terms of agreement made years ago.

The two families initially may have been in harmony.

Yet, everything changed with the birth of this little girl.

She bears the supreme Dao bones and simultaneously possess the bloodline of her ancestors.

The Chu Family Head then harbored ulterior motives.

He transplanted the precious bone from his daughter to his biological son, simultaneously draining blood and marrow to nurture the transplanted bone.

Both the son and the daughter who are his descendants also possess the nurturing blood marrow, thus, no rejection reaction occurred.

This is what Jiang Yuan inferred from the information revealed in their conversation just now.

…

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The two elders of the Chu Family saw Jiang Yuan’s seemingly indifferent expression.

Their face instantly turned ugly.

They have not been disregarded like this for a long time.

“Insolent boy, you’re asking for death!” The eyes of the Dharma Realm second level elder were filled with ruthlessness.

He raised his hand and pointed, a dark light shot forth from his fingertip, piercing through the layers of voidness directly toward Jiang Yuan’s forehead.

The next moment.

Jiang Yuan’s body was enveloped in red, black, white, orange, and green divine lights. As the dark light touched this light curtain, it instantly melted and vanished into nothingness.

Subsequently, the five-colored divine lights shrank back and returned into Jiang Yuan’s body.

The two of them watched this scene, doubt crept into their minds at once.

Such a miraculous method that even his cultivation burst didn’t happen as he unmade their move.

Making him fall into hesitation.

The one who can easily unravel his method, their earlier guess must be totally wrong!

This young man must be extraordinary, and is definitely not a cultivator of Divine Bridge Realm, but rather he has already achieved the Dharma Image Realm.

Becoming a Dharma Image at such a young age already says a lot!

This young man is undoubtedly a top genius of his era!

A behemoth must be standing behind him to cultivate such a figure!

The Chu Family Head saw this scene, and his expression became extremely serious.

Jiang Yuan inwardly felt satisfied at this moment.

The Five Colored Divine Light is indeed powerful.

Nothing within the Five Elements could easily break this Five-colored Divine Light Body Protection.

Just at this moment.

Plop!

The hunched Li Yao kneeled down instantly, his head heavily bumped onto the ground.

“Please, kind sir, help us! My lady is the only blood descendant of the Qinling Supreme, who saved billions of lives in the Three Domains of the Human Race. We can’t let his only bloodline fall into extinction!”

Thud, thud, thud–

While he was talking, Li Yao’s forehead continuously hit the hard rock.

“Please Sir, send my lady back to the Capital of the Xuanyuan Kingdom, back to the ancestral land of the Qin Family! Let my lady grow securely! I am willing to give you this ancient divine weapon in my hand as a reward!”

The Chu Family Head saw this, and said, “Sir, I am the Chu Family Head of the Earth-Bearing City!”

“My ancestor was a venerable of the Four Extremes Realm, and my son is an inducted disciple of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Domain, a disciple of the Departed Heavenly Venerable!”

“Please Sir, for the sake of these few people, make an exception and don’t interfere in this matter. This is a Chu family affair!”

Jiang Yuan remained silent, and turned around to look at these people from the Chu Family, frowning.

“Are you threatening me?”

The Chu Family Head said, “Not at all! I know that you are extraordinary, sir and we dare not threaten you! I am merely stating the stakes. Please do not mislead yourself, kind Sir!”

Jiang Yuan smirked, “Mislead myself?”

“You attacked me, tried to ambush me! Shouldn’t there be some price to pay?”

“Fourth Elder!” said the head of the Chu Family.

As soon as the Fourth Elder heard the Family Head’s shout, he immediately understood.

He gritted his teeth, grabbed his right index finger with his left hand, and snapped it off with force.

The finger that he had used to emit the dark light was instantly torn off by him.

His face twitched slightly, “Is that enough?”

“Not enough!” Jiang Yuan shook his head lightly.

Upon hearing his words, the faces of the Chu Family Head and the two elders turned even more sullen.

“Attack–”

The middle-aged man suddenly shouted out.

Three Dharma Images immediately revealed themselves, all originating from the same Contemplation Diagram.

Black Tortoise on Sea!

The Dharma Images of all three of them had dragon heads, turtle bodies, snake tails, and snake bodies coiling around their turtle bodies.

“Old Sir, I’ll grant your request!” Jiang Yuan said nonchalantly.

At this very moment.

The three Black Tortoise Dharma Image-bodies have fully formed.

The next moment.

The three Black Tortoises sprayed out Mysterious Divine Water, heading straight for Jiang Yuan.

“Good move!”

Having acquired the top-level Divine method like the Five Colored Divine Light, he was originally worried about not having a place to test it out.

Their attack on him was just right.

A Chu Family Head who is a third level Dharma Image, plus two Chu Family Elders: one of the second level Dharma Image Realm and the other of the first one.

They were perfect test subjects.

Facing these three rays of Mysterious Divine Water, Jiang Yuan waved his hand.

Red, black, white, orange, green divine lights emerged from his five fingers and brushed forward.

The three rays of Mysterious Divine Water as black as ink, upon contact with the Five-colored Divine Light, instantly melted away, and the most basic Five Elements’ qi was enveloped into the Five-colored Divine Light.

The Five-Colored Divine Light, instead, exploded with force, brushing against the three Black Tortoise Dharma Images.

Dharma image shattered, flesh melted!

“Ah–”

The three people screamed in unison.

Under this sweep, they exhausted all means of defense, but half of their bodies still vaporized, revealing the stark white bones within.

Only then did the Five-Colored Divine Light dissipate.

“Attack with full force! Use the Three Talents Sword Formation!”

The Chu Family Head, covering his mangled face, roared.

His cultivation is the highest, so his injuries are the lightest.

He moved and appeared in front of the other two elders.

The three of them immediately stood in a triangular formation, and a formation rapidly unfolded in the void beneath them. The formation pattern instantly materialized in the void.
