Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

He then led Qin Yun through layers of thick soil to appear above the earth.

Next to the lake.

Jiang Yuan took a deep draught of fresh air, then slowly exhaled the dirty air from his belly.

“Finally safe!” he exclaimed.

Upon seeing this, Qin Yun dared to open her mouth, “Brother Jiang Yuan, you are not hurt, are you?”

Jiang Yuan lowered his gaze to his chest, noticing his clothes were torn and splotched with blood.

He then laughed, “I’m fine! Don’t believe it? Feel for yourself.”

Qin Yun stretched out her emaciated hand and carefully touched the torn part of Jiang Yuan’s clothing twice.

Only after not feeling any wounds did she relax her nervous expression.

Then she said, “It’s all my fault, if it hadn’t been for me, you wouldn’t have been in danger so often!”

Jiang Yuan caressed her head, the corner of his mouth forming a smile. “Don’t blame yourself, you are my lucky star, bringing me a massive windfall!”

Then, he said, “Wait for me over there.”

“Okay!” Qin Yun immediately obediently stood aside.

Jiang Yuan came to a rock by the lake and sat cross-legged on top of it, examining his body internally.

With his introspection, he immediately noticed the changes in his body.

The injury caused by that venerable one’s gloomy finger was not as light as it appeared on the surface.

The current recovery was only superficial, and about 10 percent of his original source had been consumed.

A large number of micro-cell particles had been annihilated by that power of destruction, completely obliterated. This kind of damage was irreversible.

In other words, if he suffered such an attack ten consecutive times, he would definitely fall.

Upon this realization, Jiang Yuan felt a chill!

Fortunately, that venerable one had underestimated him, otherwise he would not have escaped!

However, considering his cultivation realm was not that of a beginner in the Four Extremes Realm, Jiang Yuan felt it was justified.

In front of such a powerful cultivator, being able to withstand his blow because of his strong physical body, avoiding immediate death or severe injury, was already a testament to the strength of his body.

If he had not cultivated his physical body, he would certainly have been unable to resist that attack and would have perished.

Afterward, he furrowed his brow.

It was not easy replenishing the original source that had been destroyed now.

The stronger the physical body, the harder it is to replenish each wisp of lost original source.

The strength of his physical body had dropped significantly due to the loss of half of his original source, and the golden divine halo in his blood had also become somewhat sparse.

This was a drawback of having a powerful physical body.

The stronger the physical body, the more difficult it is to replenish the source of the physical body once it is injured and a large number of cell microparticles are obliterated.

He inspected his body again, and as the functions of the five organs operated, the source was being replenished little by little.

Then, Jiang Yuan thought to himself.

The Five Organs are indeed the key areas of the physical body. If you can open up the Five Great Physique Secret Realms and nurture the Five Organs God, this level of source loss should be easily recoverable.

If he wanted to replenish the lost source now, relying solely on the operation of the five organs, it would take at least a few months!

This is a bit troublesome!

Alternatively, he could refine a thousand-year-old great medicine or refine the essence of the blood and flesh of a beast of the Dharma Realm or above. This would immediately make up for the lost source of his physical body!

Thinking about it made him dizzy. He had none of these things!

Forget it, let’s not care about this for now!

He then took out the Sacred Institute Token.

When he was fleeing just now, this token vibrated many times, indicating that someone was calling him in the group.

As he took out the Sacred Institute Token and merged his divine sense into it.

Immediately he received messages from several senior and junior brothers.

It was only then that Jiang Yuan learned that his attack had been observed by Bei Heng.

[Ji Yueyue (Little Princess of Central State Ancient Kingdom)]: Little junior brother was attacked by a Venerable, why didn’t eldest senior brother help? He wasn’t killed, was he?

[Ji Yueyue (Little Princess of Central State Ancient Kingdom)]: Little junior brother Jiang Yuan, how are your injuries? Hurry up and come out to speak.

[Bei Heng (Holy Master of Beiheng Holy Land)]: Little sister Ji, there’s no need to worry, I have already calculated that little junior brother has had a narrow escape!

[Yun Muyao (Holy Daughter of Tianhe Sacred Land)]: Really? A narrow escape? Is little junior brother so amazing now?

[Bei Heng (Holy Master of Beiheng Holy Land)]: Even more amazing than you think. Not long ago, sixteen strong cultivators of the Dharma image realm united to besiege little junior brother, all falling at his hands, among them was a master who compared to the ninth level of the Dharma image realm, all of which I saw with my own eyes.

[Ji Yueyue (Little Princess of Central State Ancient Kingdom)]: ?? Angry.jpg

[Ji Yueyue (Little Princess of Central State Ancient Kingdom)]: Eldest senior brother, you are being selfish! You keep this kind of big news to yourself! But speaking of which, little junior brother is awesome! Shocked.jpg

[Yun Muyao (Holy Daughter of Tianhe Sacred Land)]: Yes! Truly amazing, at this rate, he’ll surpass me soon! What an awesome little junior brother! Starstruck.jpg

[Yun Muyao (Holy Daughter of Tianhe Sacred Land)]: Little junior brother Jiang Yuan, quickly speak up. If you want, your senior sister will go and kill that venerable for your revenge.

[Ji Yueyue (Little Princess of Central State Ancient Kingdom)]: Yes! That venerable from the Heavenly Origin Holy Land daring to provoke this Princess’s junior brother, he must have the guts of a bear! I should put out a bounty to get back at him for my junior brother! Supportive.jpg

[Pan Hua (Daoist disciple of Langya Blessed Land)]: Junior brother Jiang Yuan is this amazing now, am I going to end up at the bottom again?

Upon seeing the messages from everyone, Jiang Yuan had a faint smile on his face, then he composed a message using his divine sense.

[Jiang Yuan (Inner Sect Disciple of Supreme Mystery Sect)]: Thank you for your concern, seniors. I’m fine. I have already left the Heavenly Origin Sanctuary and am now completely safe!

[Bei Heng (Holy Master of Beiheng Holy Land)]: Little junior brother, how did it feel?

[Jiang Yuan (Inner Sect Disciple of Supreme Mystery Sect)]: Very strong! His finger crossed through a thousand miles in an instant and directly struck my body, nearly piercing a hole through me! Had he not been so careless, I might not have escaped unscathed!

[Bei Heng (Holy Master of Beiheng Holy Land)]: How is your injury?

[Jiang Yuan (Inner Sect Disciple of the Supreme Mystery Sect)]: The injury isn’t too bad, I lost around ten percent of my physical body’s original strength.

[Pan Hua (Daoist disciple of Langya Blessed Land)]: Incredible! That’s the Town Defender from Heavenly Origin Holy Land. As a disciple of the Holy Land, he is not ordinary and is much stronger than the average Venerable! To sustain such minor injuries despite taking his blow, I feel embarrassed about my physical strength in comparison!

[Ji Yueyue (Little princess of Central State Ancient Kingdom)]: Is Junior Brother’s body really that strong? I’m also at the Dharma Image Realm, come and fight with me for three hundred rounds! Impressive.jpg

[Yun Muyao (Holy Daughter of Tianhe Sacred Land)]: Is this battle serious? Smiling.jpg

[Ji Yueyue (Little princess of Central State Ancient Kingdom)]: Pfft! Vulgar Holy Daughter! Contempt.jpg

[Pan Hua (Daoist disciple of Langya Blessed Land)]: Everyone, I’m too discouraged to chat anymore; I have to go practice!

[Ji Yueyue (Little princess of Central State Ancient Kingdom)]: Pan Junior Brother, cheer up! You’re about to be caught up by Junior Brother! Encouragement.jpg

[Yun Muyao (Holy Daughter of Tianhe Sacred Land)]: Cheer up, Pan Junior Brother!

[Yun Muyao (Holy Daughter of Tianhe Sacred Land)]: Junior brother, do you want to be transported to my Tianhe Sacred Land? I can help you recover your loss.

[Ji Yueyue (Little princess of Central State Ancient Kingdom)]: Pfft! You vulgar Holy Daughter, you probably have ulterior motives towards Junior Brother!

[Yun Muyao (Holy Daughter of Tianhe Sacred Land)]: Hmm, I should also check out his body!

[Jiang Yuan (Inner Sect Disciple of the Supreme Mystery Sect)]: …

[Bei Heng (Holy Master of Beiheng Holy Land)]: Junior Brother, ignore them. They’re always messing around instead of practicing, they’ve become ill from idleness!

[Bei Heng (Holy Master of Beiheng Holy Land)]: How long do you need to heal from this injury?

[Jiang Yuan (Inner Sect Disciple of the Supreme Mystery Sect)]: I need several months!

[Bei Heng (Holy Master of Beiheng Holy Land)]: That’s a bit long. Try to find a quick way to heal, or else you won’t be able to continue enhancing your physical strength. Also, develop the Five Great Secret Realms of your body as soon as possible. You might be needed for the renewal of the ancient covenant between humans and demons soon!

[Jiang Yuan (Inner Sect Disciple of the Supreme Mystery Sect)]: Alright, Eldest Senior Brother. I will recover my losses as soon as possible.

[Ji Yueyue (Little princess of Central State Ancient Kingdom)]: Wow, will Junior Brother also be participating in the Battle of Covenant? I’ll come too, and get a good look at Junior Brother! Curious.jpg

Jiang Yuan saw that the chat was about to end, so he conveyed his thoughts through divine sense.

[Jiang Yuan (Inner Sect Disciple of the Supreme Mystery Sect)]: Everyone, I should continue my journey to send the Supreme Lady back to her ancestral land.

Afterwards, Jiang Yuan put away the Sacred Institute Token, stood up and said, “Yun’er, let’s go! I’ll take you home!”

On hearing this, Qin Yun quickly jogged over.

Jiang Yuan held her, and in an instant, they turned into a rainbow and flew away, totally turning into a five-coloured rainbow in the sky.

Qin Yun, looking at the sceneries quickly retreating below, quickly closed her eyes. Her body was trembling slightly.

“Don’t worry, you won’t fall!”

Jiang Yuan’s voice faintly sounded in her ear.

“Okay!” Qin Yun responded softly, curling up into herself.

Then she suddenly said, “Brother Jiang Yuan, when I go back, will you come to see me?”

“If I have time, I will!”

“Oh!” She responded softly again, looking a little disappointed.

In the border area of the Heavenly Origin Sanctuary, there were long stretches of land where no forces had extended their reach, everything was wild and uninhabited.

Occasionally, there would be sporadic villages beneath them.

These villages were places where mortals gathered.

In such places, the majority of people might spend their entire lives moving in a radius of only a few miles, consisting of just a few surrounding villages.

Occasionally, there might be small cities, which were also gathering places for mortals.

In these small cities, the strongest person would likely just be a successful Body Forger.

These places do not belong to any forces!

Jiang Yuan took Qin Yun across the sky, leaving behind a long trail of five-coloured rainbow light.

It took half a day.

Only then did Jiang Yuan see a large city in the distance.

Lingxu City.

Jiang Yuan saw the three characters denoting Lingxu City on the towering gates from far away.

In his eyes, this city was quite extraordinary.

Formation patterns were strewn all over the city walls and under the ground as well, hiding many formation patterns. These formations, once activated…

Could either shelter everything within the city or turn into a terrifying death array to slay enemies.

A moment later, the two of them turned into a rainbow, appearing at the city gates.

“How much is the entry fee?”

Jiang Yuan asked indifferently.

A guard at the city gate quickly replied respectfully, “You don’t need to pay an entry fee, you can freely enter and exit!”

He then made way, extending his hand, signalling Jiang Yuan to pass freely through.

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly and walked into this big city with Qin Yun.

As soon as both of them entered…

Someone beside that gate guard asked, “Brother Guo, why didn’t you collect the entry fee from these two people?”

“Are you an idiot? Didn’t you see both of them flying through the sky? Mortals and Dharma Image realm cultivators are not required to pay entry fees, it’s the rule!”

“You….you’re saying, that young man is a Dharma Image realm cultivator?”

“Nonsense, didn’t you see the speed he had while flying? Covering dozens of miles in an instant, if he is not a Dharma Image Grand Cultivator, then what is he?”

“Hiss! Who in the Eastern Region has such a prodigy?! He’s reached such a stage at such a young age! Our top prodigy of Lingxu Blessed land is just about at that level!”

“Who knows! There are so many of them in the Eastern Region, young prodigies are like crucian carp in a river, there’s always one popping up now and then. But, there are only a few who can ultimately become the target of everyone’s admiration!”

“…”
