Longevity: Start From The Entry Of Luck

Chapter 203: Human Clan Holy Body, Holy Academy, and Divine Academy! (Additional Chapter 1053 for the Silver Alliance)

Four thousand zhang, three thousand zhang, two thousand zhang.

The further Jiang Yuan walked, the more terrifying the weight on his back felt.

Looking at the mere one thousand zhang ahead, Jiang Yuan felt that the weight on his back had already tripled compared to the initial amount.

With such a terrifying increase, it's no wonder no one can come to this place.

He sighed slightly in his heart.

Even he could feel some muscle soreness from this weight.

He stepped forward again, slowly and firmly.

Nine hundred zhang, seven hundred zhang, five hundred zhang.

At this distance, the magnificent Crystal Lustrous Palace was already clearly visible in front of him.

But the Crystal Lustrous Palace floating on the sea surface was just an illusion.

The real Dragon Palace was beneath it.

The very center of the entire Lízhū Grotto-Heaven.

Jiang Yuan also saw that beneath the illusory Dragon Palace, the sea water was separating, leaving a huge opening that led to the sea floor.

"He made it!" Lin Yuqing said lightly.

"Young master succeeded!" Shu Xiaoxiao exclaimed with joy.

Zhou Qiu's eyes revealed a complex expression. He never expected to come this far.

On the sea surface.

Jiang Yuan had already reached the boundary of the sea water.

Looking at the Dragon Palace below, shimmering with colorful crystal light, he felt a bit excited.

After entering the Lízhū Grotto-Heaven and going through countless hardships, he finally arrived in front of the Dragon Palace.

As long as he went down, he would be able to enter the Dragon Palace and see if there was anything left by the human clan saint in the core of this so-called Lízhū Grotto-Heaven.

If there was, it would be the most precious item in this Grotto-Heaven.

He took another step forward, and the hollow below was only half a step away.

The pressure on his body also suddenly disappeared at this moment.

He made it!

A smile appeared on Jiang Yuan's lips.

He then took another step forward and stopped in mid-air.

Under his mental command, his figure slowly descended.

After a few breaths.

He arrived in front of the so-called Dragon Palace.

The golden jade plaque above his head was inscribed with two ordinary characters.

Dragon Palace!

The steps in front of him were all paved with milky white jade.

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and slowly walked into the Dragon Palace.

Crossing the threshold, the interior was even more dazzling.

Whether it was the walls, the hanging beams, or the white jade pillars, they were all inlaid with colorful gemstones, radiating brilliant light.

"Young friend!" A voice sounded faintly in Jiang Yuan's ear.

Ten zhang ahead, an illusory figure suddenly appeared.

At the moment he saw the person's face.

Jiang Yuan's heart trembled.

This person, he had seen before, had caught a glimpse of him.

When he was refining that sword grass, he had seen the scene of that human saint pointing and killing the dragon king with a single finger.

The face of the saint he had seen at that time was exactly the same as this person's, as if they were carved from the same mold.

In the Eastern Region, thousands of miles away.

Beside a calm lake, an old man with white hair who was fishing was dozing off.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes.

"Oh! Someone actually passed my test at the Grotto-Heaven of the Lizi Pearl?" he exclaimed.

"This is incredible!"

He shook his head and sighed lightly, looking towards the direction of the Qianyuan Kingdom.

As if seeing through the vast land, Jiang Yuan's figure was reflected in his pupils.

"Not bad, young man! It's rare for someone of your age to have such cultivation in the resource-poor Qianyuan Kingdom!" he said, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

To have such a harvest from acting on a whim was not something he had expected.

An ownerless Grotto-Heaven world could only last for a short time before completely disappearing.

He didn't expect that within a hundred years, someone who passed his test would emerge.

And they were even better than he had originally imagined.

The Grotto-Heaven of the Lizi Pearl.

Dragon Palace.

Jiang Yuan looked at the phantom of the old man with white hair in front of him and quickly bowed, "Greetings, senior!"

This person appeared to be just a phantom, but Jiang Yuan didn't dare to treat him as such.

He was completely different from the phantom of the high monk who had attained enlightenment in the place of his death.

This was a phantom left behind by a saint, only a little over a hundred years had passed since he killed the Grotto-Heaven Demon King.

Jiang Yuan didn't know how many years a saint could enjoy after attaining enlightenment.

But he knew that this person probably still existed in the world.

Over a hundred years of time, it was difficult to exhaust his lifespan.

The old man with white hair looked at Jiang Yuan's figure and stroked his beard with a smile, "Not bad! Really good! In this Qianyuan Kingdom, in just over a hundred years, there can be someone who passed my test!"

"So it was senior's test!" Jiang Yuan showed a look of realization.

The old man with white hair smiled, "From your expression, you should have guessed something!"

Jiang Yuan nodded respectfully, he didn't have any ulterior motives in front of this old monster.

In his two lifetimes, he probably didn't have one-tenth of the rich experience of this old monster.

Not to mention that he was a human saint who had attained enlightenment.

Both in experience and wisdom, he was incomparable to ordinary people.

"Senior is right, I had this feeling before I came here."

The old man with white hair also smiled, looking at Jiang Yuan with increasing satisfaction.

In his expectations, he didn't have high hopes.

After all, his requirement was to have an unparalleled physical body to pass his test.

Among the human race, those with strong physical bodies were extremely rare.

If the physical body was not strong enough, even if the cultivation was sky-high, they would not be able to pass his test.

And Jiang Yuan not only passed his test, but his own test didn't seem to be very difficult for him.

His clothes were not stained with blood, indicating that his physical body did not collapse along the way.

This performance far exceeds his expectations by a large margin.

To be able to obtain such a genius, especially one that he values highly in terms of physical strength, how could he not be pleased?

The most crucial point is that this person was born in the small country of Qianyuan in the Eastern Region.

He is not from an ancient aristocratic family, nor is he from a sacred land in the Dao Domain.

He is not even from a power like Grotto-Heaven, just an ordinary country in the Eastern Region.

From what he saw back then, the strongest in this country was only a Law Manifestation minor cultivator.

Without receiving good guidance and inheritance, nor being nourished by the world's top treasures and resources.

To have such performance, it purely depends on his talent.

He is a piece of uncut jade, flawless and with enormous potential for the future.

The white-haired old man stroked his beard and said, "Have you ever heard of the Holy Academy?"

"The Holy Academy?"

Jiang Yuan was a little surprised, then shook his head, "I have never heard of it!"

"It's normal for you not to have heard of it, after all, you have only grown up in the small country of Qianyuan and have not come into contact with various major powers."

"Is Qianyuan a very small country?"

"It is very small! In the Eastern Region, it can only be considered a drop in the ocean, not to mention the Five Domains and Four Seas in the world!"

Speaking up to this point, the white-haired old man sighed slightly, "Even the Five Domains and Four Seas, in the vast universe, are just a drop in the ocean!"

"Alas, it's a pity, it's a pity!"

Hearing the mention of the universe by the white-haired old man, Jiang Yuan's curiosity was instantly piqued.

At the time when he obtained the Innate Luck of Ancient Dual Pupils, at the birth of the Dual Pupils.

There seemed to be an Innate aura in his eyes, allowing him to see the extraterrestrial sky in an instant.

In that moment, he saw the pitch-black depths of the universe, without a trace of light, only the most primal darkness.

Since this world is also in the vast universe, from his memories of his previous life, this is completely wrong!

Although the universe is cold and dark, there are still billions of stars, how could it be completely pitch black?

Looking at the white-haired old man, Jiang Yuan knew that this human saint was most likely able to answer the doubts in his heart.

He couldn't hold back his curiosity and immediately spoke up.

"Elder, I am very curious. Since the Five Domains and Four Seas are just a drop in the ocean in the vast universe, does this mean that there are other forms of life in the vast universe?"

"No!" The white-haired old man shook his head and sighed, "Before the previous era, the situation you mentioned did exist. In the vast universe, there were ancient stars that nurtured life."

"But in this era, they are all gone! In the entire universe, only the Five Domains and Four Seas have life."

"Or rather, there is also an Upper Realm, but unfortunately, after the Heavenly Path was severed, the two realms were separated and unable to communicate. The path to immortality was cut off, and that is also the origin of the Holy Academy."

Hearing the white-haired old man mention the Holy Academy again, Jiang Yuan didn't dare to ask further.

It was obvious that he wanted to explain what the Holy Academy was, but if he dragged the conversation elsewhere and annoyed this big shot, it would be unwise.

With his current strength, it's better to be a little more cautious.

So, Jiang Yuan respectfully said, "Please enlighten me, Elder, what is the Holy Academy?"

A smile appeared on the white-haired old man's face, "I was just about to tell you. I am Du Gu Bo, the Human Saint, and I am also the Dean of the Holy Academy!"

The Human Saint? Jiang Yuan was secretly shocked.

He had heard of this physique, there were records of it in ancient history.

It is a nearly invincible physique, and the blood flowing in the body of this physique is also golden.

Incredibly sacred!

With this physique, the physical body is invincible, even if the Dragon Clan dares to fight against a strong individual with the Human Saint physique.

They would be easily torn apart, without any chance of winning.

There are also powerful individuals with the Holy Body of the Human Race who have developed this physique to the extreme, standing at the pinnacle of the human realm and fighting against True Immortals.

The end result was the fall of True Immortal, establishing the supreme reputation of this physique.

Its power is no less than that of Jiang Yuan's Ancient Dual Pupils.

It is also a truly invincible physique.

In terms of physical strength, this physique is undoubtedly the first.

No wonder he is the dean of the Holy Academy, and no wonder the academy he founded is called the Holy Academy.

He wanted to try to open the panel of the old man with white hair, but unfortunately it was still the same as before.

He is just a virtual image and does not have a panel.

He suppressed his astonishment and respectfully saluted, saying, "So it's Senior Dugu, I have seen Senior Dugu!"

"You know me?"

"I don't know!"

"You brat!" Dugu Bo smiled.

Then he continued, "As I said before, after reaching the Extreme Heaven Communication, the path of the divine soul cannot lead to immortality, so I established the Holy Academy."

"The Holy Academy is different from the long-established Divine Academy. The Holy Academy only accepts disciples with invincible physical bodies and specializes in the study of the physical body."

"Do you know what the Divine Academy is?" Dugu Bo suddenly asked.

Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "The 'divine' in Divine Academy should be related to the divine soul, right?"

"Correct!" Dugu Bo nodded slightly. "You guessed it right. The Divine Academy specializes in the study of the divine soul. Their purpose is to cultivate the physical body and achieve eternal life through the divine soul."

"The Divine Academy has existed since before the ancient Extreme Heaven Communication and has made great contributions to the cultivation of the human race."

"But because they cannot become immortals, the research direction of the divine soul has become more and more deviated in recent years. Some people have even developed the method of body possession in order to prolong their lifespan!"

He shook his head and sighed, "Although this method is effective in extending lifespan, the greatest limitation comes from the physical body. They can be reborn through body possession and change their bodies, but it is meaningless. There are endless hidden dangers, the path is destroyed, and the fusion of spirit and flesh is impossible. All their cultivation becomes in vain."

"I cannot agree with such behavior, so I created the Holy Academy."

"I feel that there is a great secret hidden in the physical body. The human body is like a universe."

"The cultivation path is also somewhat strange. The people who created this path in ancient times clearly wanted to take one step at a time and continuously expand the small world within their bodies."

"Opening Grotto-Heaven, in the end, should evolve into a world."

"But to become an immortal, one must abandon the physical body, and the Grotto-Heaven world will also be abandoned. They enter the upper realm to condense their immortal bodies!"

Although lifespan can be increased by tens or hundreds of times in this way, it is obviously not in line with the original intention of cultivation."

"This is a path that has not been completed!"

At this point, his eyes were unusually fervent.

"This incomplete path should be hidden within the physical body. The physical body is the greatest mystery of the human body."

"This cultivation path seems unrelated to the physical body, but in reality, it is closely related!"

"In the Meridian Opening Realm, the stronger the physical body, the more fearless it is towards the raging spiritual energy, and the meridians will also become tougher!"

"In the Spirit Sea Realm, only those with strong physical bodies can open up an initial nine zhang Spirit Sea."

"In the Divine Bridge Realm, the stronger the physical body, the higher the limit of the power of heaven and earth it can bear. If you can freely step into the realm of sublimation, you will understand the profoundness of a powerful physical body. Only with a strong physical body can you bear this power."

"For the first hundred Law Manifestations, a strong physical body is needed. Otherwise, even if the Primordial Spirit can bear the vast divine power of Law Manifestation, the physical body will still collapse."

"In the later cultivation realms, the physical body is equally important, especially in the Grotto-Heaven Realm, which is extremely crucial! Many people reach this stage and then pursue the strength of the physical body in order to successfully open up the Grotto-Heaven world. If the physical body is too weak, the Grotto-Heaven world they open will cause their physical body to collapse on the spot!"

"Do you understand?"

Faced with the dean of the Holy Academy's question, Jiang Yuan nodded repeatedly.

"I understand!"

"Are you willing to join the Holy Academy? Joining the Holy Academy does not conflict with your current sect. The Holy Academy and the secular academies follow the same principles!"
