Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Chapter 575: Chapter 350: Ruler of the Upper Realm, Reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor? (Extra monthly update 9/9)

[Realm]: Four Extremes Realm Quadruple-layer (5.93%)

Jiang Yuan glanced at his Personal Dashboard.

After that, he closed it.

A full twenty-four hours.

A day and a night.

Fully embracing the surrounding spiritual stones, his cultivation increased by almost six percent in progress.

This was entirely within his expectations.

After all, the further he proceeded in his cultivation realm, the more resources he would naturally consume.

At present, he was unable to gather 9999 strands of chaotic energy in a short time.

Therefore, he could only let his cultivation realm become saturated.

After all, once he leaves this place, he won’t be able to find unclaimed spiritual stone mines.

Every spiritual stone vein in the outside world belonged to someone.

Therefore, he had to cherish this opportunity here.

Jiang Yuan just estimated in his heart.

For himself, consuming one day here was equivalent to the value of three to four thousand superior spiritual stones.

Approximately equal to two high-grade spiritual treasures – such huge gains were not to be missed.

Afterward.

He continued to close his eyes, furiously absorbing all the spiritual stones around him.

Under his powerful absorption, countless blocks of spiritual stones hidden deep in the rock strata became dim one after another.

Then, with a “puff” sound, they exploded into dust.

Shu Xiaoxiao operated her Immortal Technique in the same way, cooperating with her constitution to absorb all the spiritual stones around her.

Birdy Huang, however, could only use a clumsy method, eating the spiritual stones like snacks.

And then quickly digesting them in her body.

Because of this, despite being a top heaven genius in the upper realm who underwent nirvana, her cultivation speed was still far less than that of Shu Xiaoxiao, let alone Jiang Yuan.

Currently, she was just at the ninth level of the Transfiguration Realm.

Which was equivalent to the ninth floor of the Divine Bridge Realm.

…

Time continued to pass.

Every day, Jiang Yuan would briefly stop devouring the spiritual stones, open his eyes, and harvest the Luck Power that he, Shu Xiaoxiao, and Birdy Huang gathered on their bodies.

Then, he took the opportunity to water the high-grade qi seed.

In the blink of an eye.

Five days had passed.

Jiang Yuan stopped the operation of his Devour­ing God Body.

Because at this step, the medium-sized spiritual stone mine had been completely devoured by him.

Compared with the previous spiritual stone vein, the time this vein could withstand was much shorter.

As his cultivation realm broke through, the rate at which he devoured and absorbed spiritual stones was greatly accelerated.

Naturally, this spiritual stone vein would be depleted by him even faster.

He then slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at the thin layer of Golden Qi of Luck surrounding one woman and one phoenix far away.

Thinking slightly.

Luck Power +10.

Luck Power +10.

Luck Power +10.

He then took the opportunity to open his Personal Dashboard and watered the high-grade qi seed again.

Therefore, he consumed twenty strands of Luck Power in an instant.

Then he looked at his Personal Dashboard.

[Realm]: Four Extremes Realm Quadruple-layer (35.33%)

Not bad. It seems that absorbing two more medium-sized spiritual stone veins should be enough to reach 100% progress.

But according to the information I have, even though I have devoured two medium-sized spiritual stone veins, there are still five medium-sized or larger spiritual stone veins here.

As for the small spiritual stone veins, there are more than twenty.

It’s a bit of a pity. Due to the progress of the Daoist Palace’s incubation, these spiritual stone veins can’t all be devoured by me.

At this time, Shu Xiaoxiao also opened her eyes.

“Young Master!”

She said softly.

Jiang Yuan smiled, “Let’s go, it’s time to go to the next place!”

“Okay!”

Shu Xiaoxiao nodded.

A moment later.

Under Jiang Yuan’s praise, Birdy Huang immediately happily carried Jiang Yuan and Shu Xiaoxiao to another spiritual stone vein marked on the map.

Jiang Yuan also rode on her back, starting to cultivate Chaotic Energy while on the road.

When the first strand of Chaotic Energy was successfully condensed by him reversing yin and yang.

Jiang Yuan’s eyebrows slightly eased.

Indeed, it was a bit faster.

Shu Xiaoxiao was also visualizing and condensing her primordial spirit’s dharma-nature on the side.

…

Time continued to pass.

Every day, Jiang Yuan would harvest the Luck Power born from two people and one phoenix once, and at the same time water the high-grade qi seed.

In a blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

Two people and one phoenix appeared in another new medium-sized spiritual stone vein.

[Daoist Palace]: Eastern Azure Dragon Daoist Palace (963/9999) Southern Vermilion Bird Daoist Palace (0/9999) Western White Tiger Daoist Palace (0/9999) Northern Black Tortoise Daoist Palace (0/9999)

Jiang Yuan sat in the newly opened mine.

Seeing the progress of the Daoist Palace’s brewing on his Status Panel, he couldn’t help sighing quietly.

It’s still too slow.

It’s not even one-tenth of the way there, and there’s less than eight months left until the Pact Battle.

I need to find a way to get a Chaos Stone to make substantial progress!

I can only rely on the Heavenly Ladder left by the Venerable of Divine Sky Mountain and the rewards from the Ten Thousand Stars Pagoda.

The key now is the growth of my cultivation!

Jiang Yuan closed his eyes and began to frantically devour the surrounding spiritual stones.

Under his powerful devouring, the spiritual stones here were shattered one after another, turning into sustenance for his cultivation increase.

…

The Divine Sky Mountain.

“Amazing! The Venerable Feng Yu actually reached the 81st floor, It seems that the Venerable Feng Yu is likely to break the record!”

“Yes! He’s just like strolling in a leisurely courtyard, fully displaying the style of the Venerable!”

“Absolutely! He’s a world-class genius who ranks on the Supreme Ranking. It’s so easy for him to ascend to the 81st step!”

“Right, has any Daoist Brother seen Jiang Yuan? Why hasn’t he shown up here in more than a month?”

“I haven’t seen him. I also find it pretty strange. With his cultivation, even if he was at the very edge of this paradise, he should have arrived by now!”

“It’s indeed strange. Did he regret agreeing to Feng Yu’s pact battle and purposely not come?”

“You’re right, it’s very possible!” That person nodded, analyzing closely: “No matter how powerful he is, at most he has just entered the Four Extremes Realm. How can he be the match of Feng Yu!”

“Moreover, if they were to battle, Jiang Yuan would be representing the face of the Holy Institute. If he loses, it’s not just him who would lose face, but also the Institute he belongs to!”

“Keep in mind, Feng Yu is a Venerable who has initiated the Four Great Daoist Palaces. Once the Four Great Daoist Palaces are revealed, they dictate earth, water, fire, and wind, and are invincible to those of the same realm!”

Hearing these words, some people nodded in agreement.

“That makes sense! But if they didn’t dare to fight, why did they agree to it in the first place?”

The man laughed: “This is simple! Agreeing to fight publicly is to show no fear of Feng Yu’s challenge, which is for the sake of face.”

“Not showing up here is also for the sake of face! If they don’t fight, they won’t lose!”

The previous man then nodded slightly.

“That makes sense, but Jiang Yuan ranks ninety-ninth on the Supreme Ranking, while Feng Yu ranks fifty-sixth. A fight between the two is inherently unfair!”

“It’s normal for Jiang Yuan not to come!”

“Furthermore, compared to Feng Yu, I have more faith in Jiang Yuan’s future.”

“Isn’t that obvious!” The man said as a matter of course: “With Jiang Yuan’s speed in breaking through realms, he should be among the top twenty or even top ten of his generation, or even higher!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Feng Yu, indeed, possesses a divine body, but it is a quality that has already been phased out. If he was born in the ancient times, he might still have been held in high regard, but now it is just as it is.”

Elsewhere.

Feng Yu stepped onto the eighty-first step, then stopped there.

Hearing the discussions and praises from the crowd below made him feel very pleased.

But upon hearing the last remark, his face turned instantly black.

He was very discontented.

Although he didn’t want to admit it.

He knew that their words were not wrong.

Jiang Yuan had reached such a stage at his age, regardless of anything else.

Just considering his rate of cultivation, he is bound to be a leading figure in the younger generation. The probability of him attaining the Saint Dao Fruit is far greater than his own.

He then glanced at the remaining nineteen steps.

He stored the chosen reward in his bag, then floated down.

“Congratulations, Senior Brother Feng, for passing the second test of the saint of Divine Sky Mountain!”

Chu Pan congratulated with a salute.

Feng Yu smiled: “Passing the second stage doesn’t mean much. Throughout history, at least a hundred people have achieved this step.”

Chu Pan said flattering: “But that is enough to prove, senior brother, you’re one of those hundred people!”

Feng Yu laughed: “If you put it like that, you’re right!”

Then he shook his head: “However, it’s a pity, I can only reach around the ninetieth step at most. The hundredth step is too hard! I really don’t know who can achieve this!”

Chu Pan lamented: “Senior brother, you’re already amazing! The highest historical record is only reaching the ninety-first step, and they couldn’t even stabilize their footing before they were struck down the Heavenly Ladder!”

“This difficulty is utterly abnormal, who can possibly reach the hundredth step!”

Feng Yu smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Then, Chu Pan asked: “Senior brother, having stepped onto the eighty-first step, will you leave now?”

Feng Yu shook his head slightly: “There’s no rush! I plan to continue comprehending the rules of the thunderbolt, breaking a record while I’m at it. And also, I’ll wait for Jiang Yuan’s arrival. He shouldn’t be afraid of fighting.”

…

Elsewhere.

Cultivation is dull and boring.

But every day, when Jiang Yuan saw his progress in cultivation increasing on his status panel, he felt a great sense of satisfaction.

Cultivation is a path of transcendence and sublimation.

Blessed with such a magical status panel, he naturally wanted to see the view at the end of the road.

As he devoured and refined, the spiritual stone vein gradually depleted.

As for Shu Xiaoxiao, she had already reached the point where her cultivation was full.

Now she is condensing her dharma-nature of the primordial spirit.

Eight days passed in the blink of an eye.

With the last spiritual stone drying up and fragmenting into dust,

Jiang Yuan opened his eyes with a lingering sense of dissatisfaction.

First, he looked at his own status panel.

[Realm]: Four Extremes Realm Level Four (74.58%)

Not bad!

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly.

The reserves of this spiritual stone vein were even higher.

Then he looked at Shu Xiaoxiao and Birdy Huang.

The golden qi of luck around them immediately converged towards him.

Destiny Power +10.

Destiny Power +10.

Destiny Power +10.

A steady daily entry of thirty threads of Destiny Power.

Then Jiang Yuan effortlessly infused it into the high-level luck seed.

“Young master, let’s find another place!” Shu Xiaoxiao, carrying Birdy Huang, came over to Jiang Yuan.

“Okay.”

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly.

A moment later,

Birdy Huang’s body enlarged, her wings spreading to around sixty feet.

The two of them sat on her back.

Birdy Huang flapped her wings and shot towards another medium-sized spiritual stone vein.

“Young master, is this comfortable?”

Shu Xiaoxiao kneaded Jiang Yuan’s shoulders, allowing Jiang Yuan to lie on her lap.

“Yes, it’s comfortable,” Jiang Yuan responded quietly.

“Young master, why are you pushing yourself so hard? Xiaoxiao can feel that you seem to be always racing against time.”

Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment, and then relayed the news he had learned earlier.

“So that’s how it is!” Shu Xiaoxiao nodded.

“Xiaoxiao, are you scared after hearing this news?” Jiang Yuan asked.

“I’m not scared!” Shu Xiaoxiao shook her head, her tone firm.

Then she laughed softly: “As long as I can stay by young master’s side, I’m not afraid of anything!”

All of a sudden she added: “Young master, do you know? Xiaoxiao feels like she’s known you for a long time. Not just these few years!”

Jiang Yuan opened his eyes, looked at her lowered eyebrows, and laughed.

“Not just these few years? Could it be that we knew each other in our past lives?”

“Perhaps Xiaoxiao really knew the young master in her past life?”

Shu Xiaoxiao smiled brightly.

She continued: “Actually, the moment I first saw you, I had a strange sense of familiarity!”

“I’ve heard that there’s such a thing as reincarnation in this world. Maybe Xiaoxiao in her past life was the maid by your side!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan laughed.

“Your past life is known to be a reincarnation of a fairy from the upper realm, am I not the ruler of the upper realm, the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor then?”

Shu Xiaoxiao smiled lightly: “Young Master, with your talents, it wouldn’t be too much to say that you’re the reincarnation of a Heavenly Emperor!”

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan was momentarily stunned, then fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Shu Xiaoxiao said: “Young Master, what’s wrong?”

Jiang Yuan then laughed and gradually shook his head, “Nothing.”
