Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Kong Nian addressed the crowd, “Everyone, please disperse! This old man needs to consolidate his realm.”

“Then I shall take my leave,” Nie Xuan bowed.

The remaining people also paid their respects and left one after the other.

With Kong Nian having entered the Dharma realm, his status in the Supreme Mystery Sect changed drastically. He was now held in higher regard than the Elders and Chiefs, his status transcendent.

They naturally didn’t dare to be negligent. Compared to before, both the Elders and Chiefs showed much more respect when facing Kong Nian.

…

A moment later.

Jiang Yuan and Lu Qingshan arrived at the restricted area of Heavenly Pillar Peak.

This place was where successive generations of core inheritors of Heavenly Pillar Peak were buried. The three quickly arrived at the grave of Xu Bai.

Lu Qingshan gently brushed off the dust on Xu Bai’s tombstone.

“My disciple, I have come to visit you again!”

He took out a bottle of wine, took a few sips, then poured three cups in front of Xu Bai’s grave.

Jiang Yuan also came to Xu Bai’s grave, “Senior Brother Xu Bai, I have avenged your death.”

As he spoke, a flash of white light appeared on his hand and a large piece of snake bone floated in mid-air.

“This is the bone of that black python, today I use it to pay my respects to you!”

With a single thought, Jiang Yuan, the True Sun Fire appeared out of nowhere, and attached itself to the snake bone.

Lu Qingshan gave Jiang Yuan a surprised look, then remained silent. He placed a few Spirit Fruits in front of Xu Bai’s grave.

In front of the True Sun Fire, the large piece of snake bone was gradually burned into ashes, which fell onto the grave.

After Lu Qingshan had placed the Spirit Fruits in front of Xu Bai’s grave.

“Thank you, Jiang Yuan!”

His voice was somewhat sorrowful.

Jiang Yuan shook his head, “Sect Leader, there’s no need to be so formal. Avenging Senior Brother Xu Bai is something I should do!”

Then, Jiang Yuan took out another bottle of wine.

“Cheers, Senior Brother Xu. May your journey be smooth!”

After speaking, Jiang Yuan poured three cups of wine from the bottle and took a sip himself.

This bottle of wine was brewed by Shu Xiaoxiao in the Pearl Cave for Jiang Yuan.

It was a fine wine made from a hundred fruits paired with spiritual spring water from cold pools.

The three drinks fell onto the ground emitting a rich spiritual energy, causing the flowers and grass around to grow rapidly.

Bunches of flowers bloomed prematurely in front of Xu Bai’s grave, swaying gently in the cool breeze.

After paying his respects to Xu Bai, Jiang Yuan brought Shu Xiaoxiao back to his mansion.

Then he fell into a state of intense Cultivation.

…

The Hegemonic Blade Sect.

This sect was not nestled in the depth of wild mountains and ancient forests like the Supreme Mystery Sect.

Rather, it was close to the secular world, appearing to be just an ordinary mountain villa.

However, once inside the villa, one could notice its many unusual aspects.

The spiritual energy of the entire villa was extremely rich, with a thin veil of mist covering the surface of the water.

But these were not water mist, but mist formed from condensed spiritual energy.

Being able to gather such rich spiritual energy was not due to the good geographical location of the Hegemonic Blade Sect, but rather because under the entrance of the villa, several spiritual veins had been buried.

It was these long-term effects of the spiritual veins that turned the ordinary ancestral land of the Hegemonic Blade Sect into an existence akin to a sacred land of Immortal Cultivation.

“Greetings, senior brother!” Wang Xiao respectfully bowed to the man in front of him dressed in a yellow short coat.

This man was the master of the Hegemonic Blade Sect, and Wang Xiao’s only senior brother.

The rise of the Hegemonic Blade Sect was indeed magical, an event that even in the Qianyuan Kingdom was often talked about.

A hundred and fifty years ago, the Hegemonic Blade Sect was still a martial arts sect in the secular world and had never had a transcendent.

Then, the Hegemonic Blade Sect Leader happened upon a fortunate circumstance and transcended successfully, leading the Hegemonic Blade Sect to growth step by step.

But what brought about the biggest change to the Hegemonic Blade Sect, was the juvenile the Sect Leader picked up on the road. He also buried the boy’s parents for him.

That child was Wang Xiao, one of the few in the Qianyuan Kingdom who had greatly cultivated the Dharma realm.

With the appearance of Wang Xiao, the Hegemonic Blade Sect became a superior power in Qianyuan Kingdom, standing at the peak of the pyramid.

But for Wang Xiao, the man in front was not just his senior brother, but also like a father.

The Hegemonic Blade Sect was his home.

Song Que was his junior disciple, and also treated like his own child.

The death of Song Que was what made him so angered that he disregarded the dignity of his elders and took action.

If it hadn’t been for the interference of the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect, he would have killed Jiang Yuan on the spot.

When the Sect Master saw the arrival of Wang Xiao, he wiped his hands.

“I’ve already heard about what happened in Pearl Cave, you were indeed reckless this time!”

Wang Xiao lowered his head, “I know that, but I didn’t expect the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect to suddenly interfere.”

“It’s not just that, why didn’t you wait for the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect to leave and then return to kill Jiang Yuan? If you’ve offended such a heaven genius, you must not leave any room, you cannot give him any chance to breathe!”

Wang Xiao was taken aback, then scratched his head and said, “Forgot! At that time I was only thinking about sending those disciples back and discuss the matter clearly with senior brother!”

“You…” The Sect Master sighed lightly, “Alas! Now you’ve missed the perfect opportunity. What if he escapes from Qianyuan Kingdom during these days? The world is so big, how would you find him?”

“According to what you said, after another five to ten years, this child will likely be able to achieve the Dharma realm. If he comes to seek revenge at that time, how will we resist?”

“I’ll resist him!” Wang Xiao pounded his chest.

“You?” The Sect Master shook his head, “If Jiang Yuan breaks into the Dharma realm, it won’t be long before he becomes unrivaled in Qianyuan Kingdom.

“Even if you have a higher cultivation realm than him, it’s not necessarily that you’ll be his opponent if he achieves the Dharma realm!”

“This kind of person, who has the potential to enter the Supreme Ranking in the future, how can you compare with him?”

Wang Xiao’s brows furrowed immediately, “If he runs away, then I’ll use the Supreme Mystery Sect to force him to show up. Lu Qingshan was able to take action for him, so the Supreme Mystery Sect must have treated him well!”

The Sect Master nodded slightly, “That’s indeed a way! In any case, since we’ve offended such a heaven genius, we must act all out without leaving any room, we must behead him in one swoop! We absolutely cannot give him any chance to breathe!”

“If we let the tiger return to the mountain, there will be endless troubles thereafter!”

Wang Xiao nodded heavily, “Understood! I’ll kill to the Supreme Mystery Sect right now, if Jiang Yuan is there, I’ll go all out to kill him!”

“If he has escaped from Qianyuan Kingdom, then I’ll use the Supreme Mystery Sect to make him show up, killing ten of his fellow disciples every day, especially Lu Qingshan. He must be tortured slowly.”

“If Lu Qingshan can take action for him and has treated him with kindness, I don’t believe he can stay indifferent!”

Having said this, Wang Xiao was ready to leave.

“Hold on!” The Sect Master suddenly spoke.

“Senior brother, what’s wrong?”

“It’s not enough for you to go alone, I’ll accompany you to meet the Qianyuan Imperial Family!”

“Alright! I’ll follow your arrangment, senior brother!”

Wang Xiao nodded heavily.
