Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

But she was different from Mu Qianru.

Mu Qianru had drunk until her belly was conspicuously bulged.

As someone of Daoist background, Lin Yuqing had strong self-control over her desires, and her so-called fullness was really only a feeling of being about ninety percent full.

Upon reaching this satiety, she moved aside to refine the essence of flesh and blood in her stomach, not being greedy at all.

The amount of Black Turtle Soup she drank was negligible compared to the whole pot.

Jiang Yuan and Shu Xiaoxiao quickly drank the rest of the soup.

Afterwards.

Jiang Yuan also moved aside to start refining the essence of flesh and blood in his stomach.

A wave of heat rolled, and under Jiang Yuan’s strong qi and blood, these essences of flesh and blood were continuously refined by him, turning into resources for his cultivation.

Time slowly passed in this process of refinement.

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

Boom——

A rumbling sound echoed above the cave.

Everyone knew that the one-year period was up and the Pearl Cave was about to close.

Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

“It’s time to get out!”

He sighed slightly.

Glancing at Lin Yuqing in the distance, with a thought, the two strands of Luck Power that had just converged on her was integrated into Jiang Yuan’s Status Panel.

At this moment, a wave of cave power was applied to Lin Yuqing’s body.

Under the transmission of the cave’s power, her figure began to blur.

“Jiang Yuan, until we meet again!”

Lin Yuqing performed a Daoist salute.

Jiang Yuan also returned the gesture and said, “Miss Lin, until we meet again! Please do not spread what happened here!”

Lin Yuqing responded, “Daoist Friend Jiang, rest assured! I, Lin Yuqing, am the type to keep secrets!”

As soon as her words fell, she was teleported out by the cave power, disappearing within the Pearl Cave.

Jiang Yuan was not surprised by this phenomenon.

This was the way to exit the Pearl Cave and the only way to do so.

At the end of the year, as the cave’s power descended, everyone would be teleported out by the power of the cave in succession.

There were those who left earlier and those who left later, there was no fixed pattern to all this.

Shu Xiaoxiao also came up to Jiang Yuan.

“Young Master!”

Jiang Yuan activated the rules of space, and they were both in the same space.

In this way, under the cover of the rules of space, they were as one.

Once the power of the cave descended, the two of them would be teleported out together by the power of the cave.

Outside.

Accompanied by fluctuations in space, streaks of white light appeared beyond the light curtain as young heaven geniuses appeared.

Once they regained their senses, they flew towards the positions of their respective sects without delay.

Because at this moment, the gazes of many elders fell towards the direction of the light curtain, and they felt immense pressure under these senior elders’ gazes.

The numerous senior elders watching the continuous appearance of white light in front also felt extremely tense.

Every genius who could enter the Pearl Cave was the pride of their respective sects.

They were also the cause of their respective sect’s future for hundreds of years of legacy.

If they were to fall in the Pearl Cave, it would be a grave tragedy for the sect.

Every ten years, at the event of Pearl Cave, casualties of geniuses were usually ten to twenty percent, this was common.

Occasionally, it could be as high as thirty to fifty percent, as seen in some unexpected incidents.

There had been several such devastating casualties before.

As for the reason, everyone knew it in their hearts.

But those who were weaker dared not retaliate loosely!

Therefore, at this time, all the senior elders were most nervous.

As long as their own sect’s genius did not appear, their hearts would remain unsettled.

They feared that their own genius would fall in the Pearl Cave, which would cause the sect’s legacy to be cut off.

These geniuses who could enter the Pearl Cave, as long as they could grow up successfully, would be the legacy of their respective sects.

Although the Pearl Cave was dangerous, they also had to let them in.

If they did not enter the Pearl Cave, their future achievements would be limited due to the lack of cultivation resources, and they would not be able to fully realize their potential.

Although they could have achieved the Dharma Image Realm with great cultivation, because they had not entered the Pearl Cave to obtain cultivation resources, they ultimately could barely achieve the Divine Bridge, this was not impossible.

Without the support of cultivation resources, even an outstanding genius would find it difficult to achieve great success.

If they relied on the sect’s accumulation to provide for one person, not to mention whether it would cause resentment.

Just generation after generation of geniuses could exhaust all the legacy of the sect.

Other disciples wouldn’t be able to allocate cultivation resources!

What’s more, a genius who has not experienced battle training will ultimately find it difficult to become a great figure.

Especially when it comes to combat, it is more likely to be beheaded by other geniuses across the realm.

So no matter how dangerous the Pearl Cave is, as long as they meet the conditions, the geniuses of the Qianyuan Kingdom always rush in one after another.

The path of cultivation is inevitable.

Entering the Pearl Cave is also a kind of competition!

On the hillside.

Liu Chuyi, seeing all the disciples of her sect had come out of the Pearl Cave, couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as there were no casualties, it was a good thing.

Taking a trip to the Pearl Cave, one way or another, there would be some good gains.

Even if they didn’t get millennia-old medicines, they should be able to get some hundred-year-old spirit herbs.

If all else fails, acquiring several decades-aged spirit herbs and natural treasures would also be a satisfactory gain.

Seeing that all her prodigies had returned, her hanging heart finally relaxed.

“Sect Master Lu, how is it on your side?”

Liu Chuyi turned her head and asked Lu Qingshan.

Lu Qingshan’s face was somewhat solemn, “Three disciples have yet to come out.”

“Three?” Liu Chuyi was slightly surprised.

Her face then grew serious, and she didn’t know what comforting words to say.

More than half of the geniuses who had entered the Pearl Cave had already come out.

The fact that all the geniuses of her own Dao Derivation Sect had come out was the earliest evidence.

However, the Supreme Mystery Sect still had three people who had not appeared.

This indicated that there was a high probability that someone had perished within.

Of course, it was also possible that they just happened to appear late.

At this time, Kou Dong said: “Sect Master, don’t worry, Junior Sister Nangong’s luck is good and she’s only been active in the outer three layers, so she’s unlikely to encounter life-threatening dangers.”

“Junior Sister Tantai is following Wang Yu. Wang Yu is a top disciple of Tianjian Mountain, ranked eighteenth on the Heavenly Ranking. His cultivation level is close to Divine Bridge Realm. There are very few people in the entire Pearl Cave who can threaten him! Junior Sister Tantai should be safe.”

“Junior Brother Jiang Yuan is outstanding. Such a heaven genius must be blessed with great luck power. He won’t easily perish, plus his Five Elements Escape Technique is considered the best in the Divine Bridge Realm. Even when faced with danger, he can retreat calmly.”

Hearing Kou Dong’s words, Lu Qingshan’s expression slightly relaxed.

He spoke softly: “Even though this might be the case, but…”

Before he could finish speaking, a look of joy appeared on his face: “Nangong Yue is out!”

Kou Dong also smiled: “Junior Sister Nangong is out!”

When Nangong Yue saw the outside world, she instantly used her Secret Technique of Flying and headed straight for the hillside where Lu Qingshan was.

“Sect Master, I’m back!”

She spoke sweetly, a light dimple appearing on her face.

Lu Qingshan nodded lightly, a faint smile on his face: “Good. Now that you’re back, I can rest easy.”

His gaze then moved back to the sky above, a crease forming between his brows.

He murmured to himself, now only Tantai Ming and Jiang Yuan are left, and Jiang Yuan’s maid. I hope they’re all safe!

Compared to the human side, the atmosphere on the Demon Tribe’s side was exceptionally oppressive.

Until now, a succession of heaven geniuses had already emerged.

Looking at the current situation, the number of human heaven geniuses lost wasn’t much, not very different from before, and even fewer this time.

It was over ten percent, but definitely had not reached twenty percent.

This loss rate was extremely low compared to the previous years.

The Demon Tribe, however, was completely different. Compared to the humans, it was a complete reversal!

Until now, very few Demon Tribe geniuses had emerged from the Pearl Cave.

And in particular, not a single big Demon higher than the transfiguration stage had emerged.

Everyone knew without needing to think about it that a major change must have happened inside, a major change specifically targeting the East Sea Demon Tribe.

The leading Azure Sea Dragon in the Ninth Level of Dharma Realm couldn’t comprehend it all.

Why?

Based on the strengths of Ao Feng, Xuan’e, and the others, they wouldn’t fear being surrounded and attacked by human heaven geniuses.

Even if they couldn’t defeat them, with their strong physical bodies, they could easily escape.

Why had they all perished?

But looking at the emergence of one after another human heaven genius, his expression grew even more gloomy.

In the sky above, Wei He looked down at the East Sea Demon Tribe.

A smile appeared on his face.

It seemed that the East Sea Demon Tribe got the short end of the stick this time!

The human heaven geniuses of Qianyuan Kingdom performed well, and seemed to have wiped out a big part of East Sea Demon Tribe’s heaven geniuses in the Pearl Cave.

Luckily I was here to keep things under control, otherwise if he had attacked, wouldn’t the heaven geniuses of Qianyuan Kingdom have lost their lives?

If he behaves later, I won’t bother to intervene!

There isn’t any reason to intervene!

If he wants revenge, then today I must score another victory.

Killing a big Demon at the Ninth Level of Dharma Image Realm, the reward will be substantial.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

On the surface of the lake.

The imperial flying ship of Qianyuan imperial family, a Great Sun level, was hovering in the air overhead.

At this time, the King of Divine Power had a stern expression. The atmosphere aboard the ship was highly tense.

It was like the calm before a storm.

Everyone on the ship didn’t dare to draw breath.

The next moment, everyone on the ship felt the pressure lifted off them, and the previously tense atmosphere was gone.

Because the King of Divine Power’s daughter, Zhou Ying, appeared.

Moreover, she brought unexpected joys, easing the King of Divine Power’s heavy mood.

Zhou Ying, who controlled the power of heaven and earth, tore through the sky and flew to the imperial ship of the Qianyuan Imperial Family.

A Divine Bridge Realm appeared, and it was a new Divine Bridge Realm heaven genius.

All eyes were drawn to her in an instant.

“Is she Zhou Ying? The youngest daughter of the King of Divine Power?”

“Indeed, she is the youngest daughter of Zhou Wei. The King of Divine Power really has a brilliant daughter!”

“Yes! So young and she’s already in the Divine Bridge Realm, not inferior to Zhou Qiu in his prime, and even surpassing him in the speed of reaching the Divine Bridge Realm!”

“Not just that!” someone slightly shook their head: “I remember Zhou Ying’s age, probably around twenty-seven or twenty-eight. This is several years ahead of when Zhou Qiu reached the Divine Bridge Realm.”

“Heaven’s Genius! She can be considered a once-in-a-hundred-years heaven’s genius! In recent years, the Qianyuan Imperial Family’s heaven geniuses have been emerging frequently. Could this be a sign of something?”

Zhou Ying quickly landed on the ship.

“Father, I am back!”

She gave a sweet smile.

The King of Divine Power also revealed a hint of a smile: “Well done!”

His gaze then once again turned to the light curtain in the distance, his brows tightly knitted.

Not only him.

The Dharma Realm’s great cultivator, the leader of the Hegemonic Blade Sect, was also frowning.

His heart was filled with anxiety.

Because Song Que had yet to appear.

Knot having him appear for a moment made him feel uneasy.

Song Que was the most outstanding heaven genius of the Hegemonic Blade Sect in this current generation, second to none.

At this moment, Ye Chanxi held a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.

Gently rubbing Mu Qianru’s chin, Mu Qianru looked helplessly at her master.

This was her master’s favorite action, but it made her feel a little embarrassed.

She was a dignified Holy Daughter of the Demon Cult, not a cat.

What’s the point of rubbing her chin every day?

But facing the authority of the Demon Cult’s Sect Master, she dared not resist.

She could only endure her master’s fondling awkwardly.

Ye Chanxi’s voice then softly said: “Zhou Wei, Wang Xiao, the two most outstanding geniuses from your sides seem to have run into some trouble! How come they haven’t come out at this time? Could it be that they both died in the Forbidden Sea?”

Hearing Ye Chanxi’s words, everyone’s eyes shifted for a moment.

All eyes instantly focused on King of Divine Power and Hegemonic Blade Sect’s leader, Wang Xiao.

The three of them were all Dharma Realm’s great cultivators of Qianyuan Kingdom.

This kind of spectacle is a once-in-a-lifetime sight!
