Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags-Chapter 1171 - 511: Invincible Under the Heavens!

The Land of the Past.

The moment that long sword carrying the power of time appeared.

Time stopped flowing, and heaven and earth became still.

At this moment.

Only Jiang Yuan, who had just ascended to sainthood with his long sword, had a drastic change in expression as history underwent a subtle change at this instant.

In the original Time and Space, no such event had occurred after his ascension.

But now it was different.

"The power of time!" Jiang Yuan’s gaze sharpened, and he murmured to himself, "This is from the Future Sword!"

"Should be executed—" A calm female voice suddenly reached Jiang Yuan’s ears.

Her qi immediately and firmly locked onto him.

At this moment.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

A vast river suddenly appeared before Jiang Yuan’s eyes.

The river shimmered silver.

Looking through the surface of the river, one could see countless scenes of All Spirits evolving.

And in the water of the river, Jiang Yuan saw a figure, one that was identical to him, standing downstream in the Time River.

"So it turns out I am an existence from the past!" he murmured to himself.

After making eye contact with his downstream self, he quickly came to a realization.

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly at his past self, their gazes meeting, saying everything without words.

...

Reality.

Jiang Yuan’s figure gradually became hazy, filled with an illusory vagueness, as if he could disappear into heaven and earth at any moment.

"Young Master!!" Shu Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but show a tense color in her eyes upon seeing this scene.

"Sister need not worry, the master is just communicating with the past and present, temporarily reflecting the current power onto his past self, to resist the sword that crosses the Time River," Birdy Huang spoke.

"I know!" Shu Xiaoxiao contained her worries and continued, "If anything happens to Young Master, I will make her regret her actions today."

As Shu Xiaoxiao uttered these last words, her tone was laden with a thick intent to kill.

Birdy Huang felt a shadow of killing intent hovering above her head, causing her to shiver inwardly with fear.

She swallowed nervously and then cautiously whispered, "Sister, are you still truly yourself, or is it her?"

Shu Xiaoxiao silently watched Jiang Yuan’s ethereal figure, whose presence was so elusive it seemed completely absent from the world. At this moment, Jiang Yuan appeared but a mere afterimage, an illusion.

She spoke slowly, "I am still me, still the Young Master’s little servant girl. As for her, she has long since dissipated."

"Really?" Birdy Huang asked in disbelief under her breath.

"Hmm!" Shu Xiaoxiao glanced at Birdy Huang with a dull gaze, "You don’t need to doubt! The Young Master is not him, and she knows this fact. Therefore, being able to see me by Young Master’s side is already enough for her! She has followed the one in her heart!"

Upon hearing these words, Birdy Huang was shocked, struck with surprise.

"Isn’t the master a reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor? How can he not be him?"

Shu Xiaoxiao slowly spoke, sharing her enlightenment, "No two leaves are identical, no matter how similar they are. Young Master’s memories, experiences, and past are all different, how could he possibly be the same person."

"Just like me, even after integrating the memories of my past life, I am not her!"

"My memories recognize only one identity, and that is that I am the Young Master’s servant girl, the one the Young Master pulled out from the darkness. In this life, I shall only be the Young Master’s servant girl."

"She understood this, and so she gave up everything, just letting me absorb some necessary memories to lend a helping hand!"

"Moreover, the Young Master has not shown any signs of memory resurgence up to this step, clearly indicating he is merely a broken True Spirit Mark."

"That Heavenly Emperor probably realized that having reached the pinnacle, even if he were to live another life, it would just be going in circles within a closed boundary, still unable to surpass his past."

"Only by abandoning everything and starting anew can one break free from their cognition and all constraints, possibly stepping out of this cage."

Upon hearing these words, Birdy Huang fell silent, contemplating deeply.

"What is Jiang Yuan doing?" The Suan Ni Godson asked with a look of surprise.

Changqing said, "Reflecting onto the past!"

"Reflecting onto the past?" The Suan Ni Godson’s expression became one of astonishment again. "What do you mean by reflecting onto the past?"

Bai Qiu explained patiently, "Your mother’s sword reverts the flow of the Time River, aiming to sever Jiang Yuan’s past Dao Foundation."

"But due to the rules of Heaven and Earth, Jiang Yuan has mastery over the power of time, enabling him to briefly reflect his current power onto his past self, to resist this sword transcending past and present."

"Ah?" The Suan Ni Godson’s mouth fell open slightly. "Doesn’t that mean an attack reversing the Time River is quite useless?"

Bai Qiu smiled. "Not exactly useless! Even if Jiang Yuan reflects his power onto his past self with the help of the Time River’s rules, it’s still not without cost."

"The longer the span of time he crosses, the greater the consumption, and the lower the power reflected!"

"If the span of years is long enough, he may not be able to reflect even a trace of power!"

"Furthermore, your mother’s goal is to capture Jiang Yuan, so by severing his Dao Foundation and altering history, forcing his realm to fall below the saint realm, that’s the true objective."

Hearing this, the Suan Ni Godson nodded vigorously in response.

"Indeed! Our goal is to capture him."
