Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Chapter 332: Chapter 221: Eighth Layer of Divine Bridge Realm, Four Extremes Dao Palace! (Seeking monthly tickets, seeking subscriptions!)_2
Wang Xiao exhaled slowly, adjusting his mood, and sent a message secretly.

“Senior Brother, I understand! Don’t worry! I will certainly restrain my emotions!”

The Sect Master of the Hegemonic Blade Sect gently nodded, “That’s good, I’ll do the talking later, just stay silent!”

“Okay!”

After several turns.

The two finally arrived in front of the study room.

The two golden-armored halberd-bearing guards looked at Wang Xiao and the Sect Master of the Hegemonic Blade Sect, and stepped forward to open the door of the study room.

“Esteemed guests, please come in! We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced in the past few days!”

A deep and authoritative voice came from inside the study room.

The Sect Master of the Hegemonic Blade Sect went ahead, Wang Xiao followed, both of them walked into the study room one after the other.

Just as they entered the study room, they saw a middle-aged man with a dignified face, dense eyebrows and beard, and a golden robe sitting upright in a dragon chair.

He had an air of intimidation without anger.

When he saw the two entered the study room, he slowly closed the book he had been looking at in his hand, revealing the title of the book on the front cover.

[Ten Thousand Souls Heart Sutra]

The gaze of the Sect Master of the Hegemonic Blade Sect flickered and then he said respectfully, “Greetings, Human King!”

Wang Xiao also reluctantly said, “Greetings, Human King!”

The middle-aged man let out a chuckle, “No need to be so formal, we are all Daoist friends!”

“The so-called Human King is just a vain title and an extra layer of restraint on me.”

“That makes me be cautious and dare not be careless, all for the peace and prosperity of the common people of Qianyuan Kingdom!”

The Sect Master of the Hegemonic Blade Sect paid respect, “The Human King is so loving and kind, I have great respect for you in my heart!”

Hearing these words, a faint smile appeared on the middle-aged man’s face.

“I already know why you’re here, and your thoughts are exactly the same as mine!”

“That’s good, I ask the Human King to help out and send another grand cultivator from Dharma Realm along with my junior brother to wipe out the Supreme Mystery Sect!” The Sect Master of the Hegemonic Blade Sect respectfully said.

The Human King shook his head, “One is not enough! I have a piece of news for you first, someone from Supreme Mystery Sect officially broke through to the Dharma Realm a few days ago, and it’s most likely the Chief Kong Nian of the Heaven Lead Peak.”

“This person was once known as invincible within the same realm and has never been defeated in a battle within the same realm. If he achieves Dharma-nature, he is very likely to condense the True Self Dharma-nature!”

“The True Self Dharma-nature is one of the top hundred Dharma-natures in the world. Once he achieves the Dharma Realm, his capabilities cannot be underestimated, and he is comparable to the second layer of the Dharma Realm!”

“So, one grand cultivator from the Dharma Realm is not enough, I will send two more, but it will take a few days. I have already notified the two ritual officers who are outside, and they are on their way back!”

“Good!” The Sect Master of the Hegemonic Blade Sect bowed, “Having two grand cultivators from the Dharma Realm is even better, it would be great if we could add one more!”

The Human King shook his head, “I can’t add more, King of Divine Power would have been a suitable choice, but sadly, he said he has new insights recently and needs closed-door cultivation!”

Human King then said: “However, I can let you add some experts from the Divine Bridge Realm to join you!”

He took out a golden token and said, “This is my token, your junior brother can take my token to the Sunset Sect and bring several experts from the Divine Bridge Realm along the way, it would be best to completely eradicate the Supreme Mystery Sect in one battle!”

The Sect Master of the Hegemonic Blade Sect took this golden token and saluted, “That’s not bad either! Having more experts from the Divine Bridge Realm would make it difficult for them to escape!”

Then he asked, “May I ask, Human King, how long do we have to wait for those two ritual officers?”

“Three to five days at most! I have already asked them to hurry back!”

It seemed that the Human King knew the doubts in the heart of the Hegemonic Blade Sect, so he said lightly, “As for Jiang Yuan, you don’t need to worry, he has been staying in the Supreme Mystery Sect these days and has not fled the Qianyuan Kingdom!”

“Then I can rest assured!” The Sect Master of the Hegemonic Blade Sect saluted, “My junior brother and I will wait for the good news!”

As the words fell, the Sect Master of the Hegemonic Blade Sect and Wang Xiao left the study room together.

Walking through the long corridor.

“Senior Brother, how did it go?” Wang Xiao asked.

He knew that his senior brother had a pair of insightful eyes that could discern the hidden talents of cultivators.

This was also the reason why the Hegemonic Blade Sect had risen rapidly and flourished over the years.

“Amazing!” The Hegemonic Blade Sect Master murmured in admiration.

…

The next day.

Heaven Lead Peak.

Jiang Yuan and Kong Nian were sitting in the pavilion, while Shu Xiaoxiao was filling their wine glasses.

“Good wine!”

Kong Nian drained his glass with one gulp, praising unceasingly.

Jiang Yuan laughed and said, “Of course this is good wine. It is blended with a hundred-year-old Spirit Fruit and brewed with the spirit spring from the cold pond!”

Kong Nian smacked his lips twice and said, “Such good wine, how about gifting me a bottle?”

Jiang Yuan waved his hand, and a Mimi Jade Bottle appeared on the stone table.

“The item that senior wants is inside!”

Kong Nian picked up the Mimi Jade Bottle, pulled out the stopper and took a peek inside.

“Generous! It’s indeed a Mimi Jade Bottle, this wine will be enough for me to drink for several years!”

Jiang Yuan chuckled: “Since senior has spoken, how can I be stingy?”

The two of them drank for a while.

Jiang Yuan stood up and said, “Senior, please spar with me. I would like to witness the strength of a Dharma Grand Cultivator. This way, I will have some idea when Wang Xiao comes to challenge me!”

“Sounds good!” Kong Nian nodded in agreement.

He likewise rose to his feet. “It’s not convenient to display our skills here. Follow me!”

Kong Nian’s figure soared into the air.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan hurriedly followed and opened Kong Nian’s Status Panel for a look.

[Name]: Kong Nian

[Realm]: Appearance Stage Two

[Innate Fate]: Late Bloomer(Purple) Accumulate Thinly(Blue) Godlike Manipulator(Blue) Formation Apprentice(Green) Doorway Genius(Green)

[Late Bloomer]: The older you get, the higher your talent for cultivation and comprehension will be.

As Kong Nian claimed previously, he had successfully broken through to the Appearance Stage Two.

After the boost from that Longevity Fruit, and the metamorphosis of his life expectancy due to his successful breakthrough to the Dharma stage, his lifespan increased to about six hundred years.

He had already lived through three hundred years of trials and tribulations, so now he had approximately three hundred years of lifespan left.

By now, Jiang Yuan understood a lot about the common knowledge in the Cultivation World.

At the peak of the mortal world, a strong person in the Body Forging Realm could keep himself free from illness, and they usually had a lifespan of about a hundred years.

Lifespan varied slightly depending on individual constitutions.

A cultivator at the Meridian Opening Realm, would experience the first metamorphosis in their life expectancy, transcending worldliness, nourished by spiritual energy, could extend their life by fifty years, possessing a total lifespan of about one hundred and fifty years.

A cultivator at the Spiritual Sea Realm, would undergo a second change in their life expectancy, further extending it by about fifty years, enjoying a total lifespan of about two hundred years.

A cultivator at the Divine Bridge Realm, their life expectancy would undergo a third change, extending it by about a hundred years, affording them a lifespan of about three hundred years.

A cultivator at the Dharma Realm, they would undergo the fourth change in their life expectancy, extending it by about two hundred years, consequently having a lifespan of approximately five hundred years.

As for the cultivation realms after that, Jiang Yuan wasn’t quite clear.

Jiang Yuan only knew that after the Dharma-nature stage was the Four Extremes Realm, where one opening the Four Extremes Dao Palace, containing the innate four spirits, and stabilizing Earth, Wind, Water, Fire.

But in the entire Qianyuan Kingdom, to this day, no one had reached this stage.
