Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags-Chapter 1223 - 526

It took only an instant for Jiang Yuan to review all the cultivation resources.

He slowly nodded, "Not bad! I’m satisfied already!"

Seeing this, Pavilion Master Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

"It’s good that Young Master Jiang is satisfied!"

Jiang Yuan said, "Having an auction with so many items at once, the price is bound to be affected, which was already within my expectations. Now, the value of the auctioned items is even higher than I anticipated, which is enough to show the prowess of Pavilion Master Lin’s auctioneering skills! I am very pleased!"

Hearing Jiang Yuan’s final words, the stone in Pavilion Master Lin’s heart finally fell completely.

She was very clear that the reason Treasure Pavilion managed to suppress Wanbao Tower wasn’t due to her clever tactics or the correctness of Treasure Pavilion’s development policy.

It was solely because of the support of the man before her.

Because of his support, there was this auction, and it could be held.

And it was precisely because of this unprecedented auction that Treasure Pavilion was sent to the top spot, outstripping Wanbao Tower.

Subsequently.

Jiang Yuan stood up. freewēbnoveℓ.com

"Pavilion Master Lin, now that this matter is concluded, I shall take my leave first!"

Seeing this, Pavilion Master Lin hurriedly stood up to retain him.

"Young Master Jiang has come from afar. Why not let me show you the hospitality due to a host?"

"No need," Jiang Yuan shook his head, "I have other matters to attend to and must hurry back!"

As his words fell, Jiang Yuan stepped forward and instantly disappeared from in front of Pavilion Master Lin.

At this moment.

Pavilion Master Lin looked at the spot where Jiang Yuan had vanished, sighing lightly.

"Worthy of being the number one powerhouse of this era, he left in front of me, and I couldn’t detect even the slightest trace of his presence!"

...

Meanwhile.

In the Eastern Region.

Within the grand hall of Tianhe Sacred Land.

Looking at the resplendent Immortal Sword, all the high-ranking officials present in Tianhe Sacred Land revealed looks of amazement.

"Holy Master, is this the Immortal Venerate’s Sword?" An Elder asked, looking at the sword in the center of the hall.

"Indeed," Mei Yingxue, wearing a simple white palace dress, nodded slightly.

"Holy Master, I’ve heard people talk about this sword, saying it belongs to an Immortal Venerate who has not yet fallen. If we purchase his sword, I’m afraid it will bring misfortune to us," a standing Elder in the hall expressed his concern.

"Holy Master, I think Elder Liu makes sense! The owner of this Immortal Sword still exists in the world. If something happens to Jiang Yuan in the future, our Tianhe Sacred Land, having taken this Immortal Monarch’s Sword, is very likely to attract the attention of that Immortal Venerate, bringing a catastrophic disaster upon us!" another Elder spoke gravely, voicing his worry.

Mei Yingxue, seated on the high platform, could not help but smile slightly.

"Elders, you too know this is an Immortal Monarch’s Sword that contains the power of time!"

"Possessing this sword, any heaven genius can touch and feel the power of time, thereby embarking on the Time Great Dao."

"For Tianhe Sacred Land, its value is immeasurable, ensuring the prosperity of Tianhe Sacred Land for generations to come!"

"With the might of this Immortal Sword, we can ensure that Tianhe Sacred Land need not fear rise and fall!"

"Such an opportunity is rare in a thousand years!"

"Concerning the worries you have mentioned, they are shared by the Great Forces, and it is precisely because of this that our Tianhe Sacred Land was barely able to win this Immortal Venerate’s Sword at the auction! Without these concerns, how could Tianhe Sacred Land prevail in the auction?"

"Although danger exists, the opportunity is so great, why not take the risk?"

"The path of cultivation is inherently defying the heavens. If one shrinks back in fear, always cautious and hesitant, how could one achieve greatness?"

With that, Mei Yingxue swept her gaze over the Elders below.

In an instant, the entire grand hall was as silent as a cicada in winter, without a single sound.

Feeling the gaze of the Holy Master, a trace of fear surfaced in the hearts of all the Elders.

Seeing this, Mei Yingxue slowly retracted her gaze, a touch of satisfaction in her nod.

"Think about it, what sort of military exploits has Jiang Yuan achieved along his journey?"

"If he dared to kill the Suan Ni Godson while being at the Pinnacle of the Human Path and ranking in the Supreme Realm without fearing that Immortal Venerate, then it is enough to show he had ample confidence to face the Immortal Venerate who awoke from slumber."

"Even when the Suan Ni Godson of Ancient God Mountain fell, that Immortal Venerate who was the Master of God Mountain did not appear, which shows that she feared Jiang Yuan’s strength at the time!"

"In this era, Jiang Yuan broke myths, turned the impossible into possible! Ranking in the Supreme Realm, he easily slew true immortals, boldly confronted Immortal Venerates, and now he’s been given more than a month’s time. Think about it, how many years did it take for Jiang Yuan to reach this point?"

"Now another month has passed, and his strength has probably made a breakthrough!"

"As long as Jiang Yuan faces no issues, we need not fear that Immortal Venerate!"

"Why should we not gamble?"

Hearing these words, feeling the will of the Holy Master in the grand hall.

Instantly some Elders bowed and said, "The Holy Master is wise!"

Once someone spoke, others followed suit.

"The Holy Master is wise!"

The rest of the Elders, upon seeing this, also spoke up one after another.

"The Holy Master is wise!"

"The Holy Master is wise!"

"The Holy Master is wise!"

"..."

Elsewhere.

After exiting the Treasure Pavilion of Tianhe City, Jiang Yuan went straight up into the sky.

Immediately, the ring filled with a massive amount of cultivation resources appeared in his hand.

Glancing at the panel, Jiang Yuan mused to himself.

"If the True Spirit Realm shows progress in cultivation, then I might as well convert all of it into my cultivation!"

Having made his decision, Jiang Yuan’s mind slightly focused.

In an instant.

A terrifying power of devouring fell upon the storage ring.

The mountainous pile of cultivation resources inside vanished rapidly, disappearing at an exaggerated speed.

In just a dozen or so breaths, the cultivation resources in the storage ring had dissipated, leaving behind only an empty ring.

[Realm]: True Spirit Realm (11.23%)

Looking at the progress displayed on his panel, Jiang Yuan also felt the changes within his body.

Suddenly, he frowned slightly.

"The requirement for this realm is so vast?"

"Judging by this situation, unless I plunder the majority of the cultivation resources from the Five Domains and Four Seas, I can’t even imagine how many years it would take to reach the peak of the True Spirit Realm with normal cultivation!"

Yet immediately after, Jiang Yuan’s frown relaxed slightly.

"On the other hand, it is also a good thing. The greater the need, the deeper the accumulation, indicating that the next realm on this path will surely offer a vast improvement. Perhaps when I reach the next step, I could be nearly invincible!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan’s mood lifted considerably.

He then clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within.

"Not bad! The improvement in cultivation has also increased the dharma-power within my body by another twenty percent!"

"Those spoils of war have truly turned from waste into treasure for me."

...

Whoosh——

On the surface of the Time River.

A head emerged.

It was none other than Jiang Yuan.

After a month of secluded cultivation, he had increased his control over the Time Great Dao from fifty percent to ninety-two percent.

Throughout this time, he had not stopped his cultivation, nor had he exposed his body to the Time River and the baptism of mysterious substances from the outside world.

First, Jiang Yuan’s head emerged above the river surface, followed by his shoulders, and then his chest.

Next, he reached his previous limit, his waist and abdomen.

As soon as his waist and abdomen surfaced, Jiang Yuan immediately felt countless chains, as countless as the water drops in the river, binding him and preventing his body from rising further.

The next moment.

With a slight tremor of Jiang Yuan’s body.

Crack——

He heard a series of crisp breaking sounds in the void as the secrets of the chains were laid bare before him, easily broken.

Subsequently, his lower half began to emerge from the river, and he rose higher and higher.

During this rise, Jiang Yuan gradually noticed the change in his perspective.

As his body continued to ascend above the river surface, the Time River seemed to shrink within his field of view.

Although still boundless and without visible shores.

Yet, he could feel that the Time River was shrinking.

"Or rather, my body is growing larger!" Jiang Yuan murmured to himself.

After feeling this for a moment longer, he became even more convinced of the sensation.

Then he said aloud, "At least one thing is certain, the relative size between me and the Time River is diminishing. It’s like before I was an ant immersed in a great river, and now I have truly become a big fish within it!"

"Perhaps, this is what transcendence is," he mused to himself.
