Longevity: Start From The Entry Of Luck

Chapter 366: "Everlasting Green," Jiang Yuan's plan, the rapidly increasing power of Luck. (Two in one)

Li Yue pondered for a moment.

In the face of Jiang Yuan's speed, it only took a moment for the distance between them to no longer be far.

With this distance, Jiang Yuan could completely escape his attack range in just half a breath's time.

Regardless!

Let's give it a try!

Li Yue gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

Just as he was about to make a move.

Suddenly, an alarm bell rang in his mind.

He felt an endless darkness enveloping him.

Fear and crisis came at the same time!

At this moment, he seemed to see the legendary Yellow Springs Road, with the blooming of the flowers on both sides, and he was about to step half a foot onto this legendary Yellow Springs Road.

At this moment, a strong chill surged from the soles of his feet, instantly spreading throughout his body.

In this situation, his body involuntarily trembled slightly.

This delay of a moment allowed Jiang Yuan to pass over him, his gaze sweeping over him.

Feeling Jiang Yuan's gaze falling on him, Li Yue shivered even more.

It was only after Jiang Yuan left that he suddenly took a heavy breath.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his pupils dilated, and his face showed a look of lingering fear.

Immediately, he swallowed his saliva.

"Such a strong death warning, is Jiang Yuan really that powerful?"

Li Yue muttered to himself, his tone filled with disbelief.

But he knew that his feelings must be correct.

This inexplicable feeling had saved his life countless times.

If he didn't have this mysterious trait, he would have died several times along the way.

He swallowed his saliva again, and his heart finally calmed down a bit.

Then he looked at Jiang Yuan, who was getting farther and farther away.

"Why is he so powerful?"

Li Yue muttered, his expression showing some confusion.

On the other side.

Jiang Yuan had already withdrawn his gaze, and the revived Diamond Sutra on his wrist gradually restrained its divine power, becoming calm again, returning to its state of tranquility.

Li Yue's choice is a bit unexpected!

I thought he would attack me!

Jiang Yuan muttered to himself, then smiled disdainfully.

He's quite clever!

Being out of Li Yue's attack range, Jiang Yuan's tense mood also eased.

Now, he was nearly five thousand miles away from Teng Qing and Xu Changkong.

With his current speed, it was impossible for them to catch up to him!

If necessary, he would move even further away, find a hidden place, and activate the Tianjiao Token.

As long as he wasn't disturbed within three breaths, he could leave this special space.

Once he returned to the outside world, Jiang Yuan believed he would be safe.

After all, he was a disciple of the Holy Academy, and he should have the protection of Dugu Bo, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

But this choice was the worst for him.

After the recent incident, Jiang Yuan also realized the importance of the Tianjiao Battlefield.

The transformation of a terrain actually produced a Nine Revolutions Gold Core.

What a precious opportunity!

How could such an opportunity be obtained in the outside world?

And this was not the biggest opportunity in this place.

Those special places, such as the Ten Thousand Star Tower, the Heavenly God Pool.

These places were like anchor points, equally important opportunities.

Apart from that, with his magical panel, perhaps there are more opportunities to be found here.

Like this Nine Revolutions Gold Core, it was discovered with the help of this magical panel.

So Jiang Yuan naturally didn't want to leave.

Once he left, there would definitely be someone waiting for him in the place he left, after all, it concerned the ownership of a Nine Grade Pill.

Who wouldn't be tempted?

In this situation, as long as he returned, perhaps a Grotto-Heaven expert would come looking for him.

The Nine Revolutions Gold Core is not something that can be refined in a short period of time for someone at his cultivation level.

They could easily force him to spit out that Nine Revolutions Gold Core.

Because of this, Jiang Yuan naturally didn't want to leave this space.

Because once he left, he might not have the opportunity to enter the Ten Thousand Star Tower in the short term.

And as long as he entered the Ten Thousand Star Tower, Jiang Yuan could rest easy.

Obtaining the Qilin Observation Diagram and opening the fourth Grotto-Heaven.

In this way, his strength would naturally skyrocket.

He could easily rival the geniuses at the Grotto-Heaven level.

In addition, the location of the Ten Thousand Star Tower.

It is a place where fighting is prohibited, and he can easily return to the outside world.

This is a place where he can attack and defend.

At the same time, Xu Changkong's voice came from behind Jiang Yuan, full of anger.

"Sumei, I remember you!"

The next moment, an astonishing momentum erupted from behind him.

Like a god descending, the pressure was vast and boundless, like a prison.

Sensing this change, Jiang Yuan turned his head and saw Xu Changkong's aura at this moment, like a volcano erupting, creating a terrifying momentum.

A Grotto-Heaven phantom appeared behind him, and the immense power of the Grotto-Heaven swept over the surroundings, instantly replacing the rules of the world between heaven and earth.

Within that range, it was as if a new world was slowly unfolding.

Mountains and rivers appeared, and ancient forests revealed themselves.

The roars of majestic beasts echoed.

Clang--

A metallic tremor sounded, and a long knife appeared in his hand in an instant.

As soon as this knife appeared, even if Jiang Yuan was thousands of miles away, he felt a deep chill.

The sharp edge seemed to hang over his head, making the hairs on his body stand up.

However, before he could swing that knife, Jiang Yuan heard Su Mei's gentle and ethereal voice, but because they were too far apart, he couldn't hear it very clearly.

"Mirror Moon. Enter Illusion."

As Su Mei's gentle and ethereal voice sounded, Xu Changkong's aura suddenly stagnated.

He seemed to be once again trapped in a daze.

Impressive!

Jiang Yuan secretly marveled.

Just at this moment, a green light suddenly surrounded Teng Qing beside Xu Changkong. He instantly disappeared from Su Mei's sight and quickly chased after Jiang Yuan's direction.

Jiang Yuan glanced over and couldn't help but be surprised.

Such speed.

In just a moment, he covered a distance of over 1,600 miles. It seems that he didn't fully exert his own speed before.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan didn't look back anymore.

He also burst out with his maximum speed.

Instantly reaching a speed of over 2,000 miles in a moment.

As for turning back to fight, Jiang Yuan had no intention of doing so.

One reason is that I may not necessarily be Tengqing's opponent.

After all, he is a genius, reaching this level at such a young age, perhaps even more formidable than many senior experts in the same realm.

Another reason is that there is no need to do so.

There is not much benefit in defeating Tengqing, but it will only delay my own progress.

For me right now, the first task is to enter the Ten Thousand Star Tower.

That is an important step in my future growth.

If I were to fight Tengqing now, the outcome would be fifty-fifty.

But once I step out of the Ten Thousand Star Tower, it will be nineteen to one.

One against nine, nineteen to one.

On the other side,

Su Mao said, "Sister Yaoyao, I'm sorry! I can only try to hold back this Triple Grotto-Heaven realm Xu Changkong, Tengqing can only let him go!"

Yun Muyao quickly comforted, "Silly, thank you! I believe Junior Brother can handle Tengqing's pursuit alone!"

"Sister Yaoyao, rest assured! In my hands, Xu Changkong won't be able to escape for a moment!"

Su Mao said firmly.

"Jiang Yuan, leave behind your Nine Transformation Gold Core, and I'll let you go!"

As soon as Tengqing spoke, his voice resounded towards the direction Jiang Yuan was fleeing.

As if resonating with the heavens and earth, his voice contained a majestic pressure, as if it came from above the nine heavens.

Jiang Yuan, upon hearing this, didn't bother to pay attention to Tengqing and headed towards the direction of the Ten Thousand Star Tower without looking back.

At this moment, Tengqing looked at Jiang Yuan, who was getting farther and farther away, and felt a strong sense of unwillingness.

In the battle between several Triple Grotto-Heaven realms, it was unexpectedly taken by a mere Quadruple Four-Pole realm Jiang Yuan. How could he be willing?

But seeing Jiang Yuan's speed at this moment, he had no way to do anything about it.

Even if he unleashed all his power, his speed was far beyond that of the same realm.

Reaching an astonishing speed of over 1,670 li per breath.

This speed could easily rival ordinary Triple Grotto-Heaven realms, even those at the Quadruple realm.

But even so, the distance between him and Jiang Yuan was widening at a rate of over 400 li per breath.

This shouldn't be Jiang Yuan's regular speed, right?

His mere Quadruple Four-Pole realm, how could he possess such terrifying speed?

He must have used some special means!

Tengqing muttered to himself.

This thought gave him some hope.

Then he continued to chase after Jiang Yuan at full speed.

Until a moment later.

Jiang Yuan's figure became increasingly distant in his line of sight, almost completely out of his sight.

Tengqing felt deeply helpless.

He had persisted for so long, but Jiang Yuan's speed hadn't changed at all.

This clearly wasn't some kind of special burst of power.

It was Jiang Yuan's regular means, his normal speed!

Thinking of this, he felt deeply puzzled.

He couldn't understand why Jiang Yuan, a mere Quadruple Four-Pole realm, could achieve such speed.

Faster than his own speed by several times.

His speed could easily rival ordinary Quintuple Grotto-Heaven realms.

He simply couldn't comprehend it!

Why?!

After a while,

Tengqing finally adjusted his mindset.

Continuing to chase in the direction Jiang Yuan had passed, he began to transmit messages.

Jiang Yuan's current direction was obvious, he was heading towards the road to the Ten Thousand Star Tower.

Originally, he didn't want to spread this news.

Because there was only one Nine Transformation Gold Core, and if more people were involved, it couldn't be divided.

But now, if he didn't call for help in this situation.

Jiang Yuan has no chance of obtaining the Nine Revolutions Gold Core in his hands.

Once Jiang Yuan enters the area covered by the Ten Thousand Star Tower, he will be completely safe, and no one can harm him.

In the area covered by the Ten Thousand Star Tower, fighting is prohibited.

These are the rules set by the Tower Spirit of the Ten Thousand Star Tower, and no one dares to violate them.

Anyone who has seen the existence of the Ten Thousand Star Tower understands that it is undoubtedly a divine tool.

The spirit of a divine tool possesses unimaginable power.

Not to mention them, even a Saint would have no way to deal with it.

Perhaps even the supreme experts who have reached the pinnacle of the Human Dao realm may not be opponents of the Tower Spirit.

Who would dare to violate the rules established by such a terrifying existence?

Once Jiang Yuan reaches that place, he can easily activate the Heavenly Pride Token and leave this special battlefield, returning to the outside world.

Therefore, Teng Qing knows that he absolutely cannot let Jiang Yuan enter the area covered by the Ten Thousand Star Tower.

Once he enters, no one will have any chance.

Everyone will have no chance of obtaining the Nine Revolutions Gold Core.

So he can only resort to this plan.

Since he can't catch up himself, he will call someone to intercept Jiang Yuan ahead.

I don't believe that his speed can be so unreasonable!

Can his strength be so extraordinary?

No matter how fast his speed is, he is only at the Sixfold Fourth Stage!

With his cultivation level, as long as he is blocked by anyone at the Grotto-Heaven realm, he will definitely not be able to escape!

Teng Qing thought fiercely in his heart.

As his message spread out.

In a stone forest, a man in a black robe received Teng Qing's message.

Immediately, he put on a silver mask.

"A Nine Revolutions Gold Core, a good thing!!!"

"It's my lucky day!"

With a movement of his figure, he instantly turned into a black shadow and left.

The destination he was heading to had already been calculated, and it was right in front of Jiang Yuan.

In a clear spring, a woman received Teng Qing's message.

Then she swam to the edge of the spring and stepped onto the shore step by step.

Her beautiful figure was fully revealed.

Only the beautiful scenery and the clear moon were admiring her beauty.

Then she raised her hand, and piece by piece, her clothes flew into her hands and she slowly put them on.

"Jiang Yuan, huh?"

"I'll take this Nine Revolutions Gold Core, as for Teng Qing."

The woman pondered for a moment, then showed a faint smile. "Just give him some treasures!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared from this place in an instant.

Leaving only a faint fragrance drifting with the breeze.

In a spewing volcano, a figure wearing golden battle armor instantly leaped over.

He grinned, "Not bad luck! I wonder what Teng Qing wants from me?"

A flash of light appeared in his hand, and a communication token appeared.

Teng Qing's voice also entered his ears.

After a few breaths, his expression changed.

"Wow, it's actually a Nine Revolutions Gold Core?"

"This Jiang Yuan is truly extraordinary, his luck is outstanding!"

"But he's only at the Sixfold Fourth Stage, yet he managed to snatch the Nine Revolutions Gold Core right under the noses of three Grotto-Heaven realm experts."

"Lin Liang County Princess is really bold, actually giving away such an important opportunity!"

The man in the battle armor clicked his tongue, then continued, "If I had his good fortune!"

"But a Nine Revolutions Gold Core, I must have it!"

When he said this, a resolute expression flickered in his eyes.

At the next moment.

He moved and turned into a golden light, disappearing instantly from this place.

Heading straight towards the direction where Jiang Yuan is located.

The faster he intercepts, the more likely he is to seize the Nine Transformation Gold Core.

On the other side.

Jiang Yuan is unaware of the impending arrival of several powerful Grotto-Heaven realm experts.

But even if Jiang Yuan knew, he would not give up.

Without going to the Qilin Pavilion, he really doesn't know where to go to obtain the Qilin Visualization Diagram.

And this is related to the success or failure of opening his fourth physical realm.

As long as he succeeds in opening it, he will have stepped into the realm of the Grotto-Heaven realm.

In this way, even in this special battlefield, he will have a certain level of strength guarantee.

According to Jiang Yuan's knowledge, the highest limit here is only the ninth level of the Grotto-Heaven realm.

Although he has heard that saints have appeared in this battlefield before.

But it's just hearsay, there has never been any conclusive record.

Because according to the normal rules, saints cannot activate the Heavenly Genius Token and cannot come to this special battlefield.

Time flies by.

After half an incense stick's worth of time.

Jiang Yuan suddenly focused his gaze, and Dual Pupils appeared in his eyes.

In his line of sight, he could see a group of fire shadows breaking through the air towards his direction.

At the next moment.

With Jiang Yuan's gaze slightly condensed, he instantly saw the existence within the fire shadows.

[Name]: Bi An

[Realm]: First level of the Grotto-Heaven realm

[Innate Luck]: ...

"The Bi An Clan?"

Jiang Yuan murmured to himself.

His figure changed instantly and turned into a rainbow, heading towards another direction.

If he doesn't change direction, as long as he continues forward.

He will definitely be discovered by the demon king named Bi An.

Once intercepted by him in front, it will be troublesome.

Jiang Yuan also doesn't want to engage in any battles with any Grotto-Heaven realm experts at this time.

There is no need!

And no meaning!

The most important thing now is to enter the realm of the Ten Thousand Star Tower as soon as possible before the news of him obtaining the Nine Transformation Gold Core spreads completely.

For Jiang Yuan, the fastest way to enhance his strength is to open the fourth physical realm.

By then, he will naturally be completely fearless of these newly entered Grotto-Heaven realm existences.

The longer the delay, the more likely accidents will happen.

Once the news of him obtaining the Nine Transformation Gold Core spreads completely.

Those top Grotto-Heaven realm experts who were no longer active and were planning and preparing for the path of enlightenment will come out of seclusion to find him.

If that's the case, then it's truly a big trouble.

Those existences are far beyond what he can currently face.

Jiang Yuan has always been eager to enhance his own strength.

A sense of crisis is always lingering in his mind.

It is because of this that Jiang Yuan has to take certain risks.

At this moment, under the effect of Jiang Yuan's Dual Pupils.

Bi An is completely unaware that he is already within Jiang Yuan's line of sight.

So his efforts will be in vain.

It is precisely because he possesses Dual Pupils that Jiang Yuan chooses this path.

With his chaotic heavenly secrets, any divination technique is ineffective against him.

This is his greatest reliance.

No one can spy on where he is exactly.

And Dual Pupils are his other reliance.

With Dual Pupils, he can observe the heavens above and explore the depths below.

He can perceive all things in the world.

Nothing can obstruct his line of sight.

So he can be the first to discover anyone's presence.

In this situation, it is naturally extremely safe.

No one can intercept him.

Even if he truly enters the Heavenly Net, there is no escape.

But as long as he is given a few breaths of time, he can activate the Heavenly Pride Token in his hand. Through the guidance of the token, he can naturally return to the outside world.

This is his last retreat.

Unless absolutely necessary, Jiang Yuan will not take this step.

But it is precisely because of the existence of this step that he can venture with confidence.

In his current state of revealing Dual Pupils, he can perceive every movement within tens of thousands of miles, even with his current speed, this is an incredibly vast range.

The rules here are different, as it is in the deep layers of space.

It is located in the middle between the Upper Realm and the Lower Realm.

In this place, it is closer to the origin of the world.

It is impossible to exert various Divine Ability techniques related to space.

So in this place, no one can lock onto him from tens of thousands of miles away and make a move against him.

He has more than enough time to activate the Heavenly Pride Token and return to the outside world.

Perhaps only Saints are exceptions, as Saints themselves may still be able to do so in this place.

But there is another problem, normally speaking, Saints cannot come to this special space.

Even if they are young, it is not possible!

Because the Heavenly Pride Token cannot guide Saints into this special space, nor will it guide them.

At the level of Saints, they have already achieved the Dao.

Even in ancient times, they could directly shed their mortal bodies, condense their immortal bodies, and become Immortal Humans.

According to what Jiang Yuan knows, although Immortal Humans are below True Immortals, they still enjoy a long lifespan.

They are much stronger than Saints.

So even in the Upper Realm, Saints are still highly valued existences.

They are also beyond the scope of the Heavenly Pride, and do not need special support and cultivation.

In this regard, Jiang Yuan naturally has no worries.

So he can confidently carry out his plan.

On the other side.

After a long time.

Bi An's figure paused, the flames dissipated, revealing her true form.

On her body, every feather is burning with crimson flames.

The aura emanating from her is also filled with a ferociousness.

"No, according to my calculations, I should have encountered Jiang Yuan, right?"

"How is it possible that I haven't seen his figure yet?"

"Could he have chosen a different direction?"

The orange-yellow pupils in Bi Fang's eyes slightly contracted.

Then she quickly scanned all directions.

Her wings kept flapping, and strands of crimson flames were fanned off from between her wings.

They fell into the mountains and forests below and instantly spread rapidly, turning into a sea of fire and spreading.

The next moment.

Her eyes slightly narrowed, and her pupils rapidly contracted.

In this situation, her line of sight kept extending, and her vision reached an astonishing level.

She instantly saw the figure of Teng Qing.

"No, it's not him!"

"In this case, he should have changed direction, making it difficult to find him now!"

"If only I were skilled in divination!"

Bi An muttered to himself, then said, "Go find Xuan E, let him use divination to see if there's still time!"

After thinking it through, Bi An's wings trembled.

In an instant, he turned into a ball of fire and flew away at high speed.

She also understood that without an accurate direction, she would not be able to find Jiang Yuan in this vast world.

According to the information from Xiao Yue, Jiang Yuan's speed when he left was extremely fast.

Not slower than her, and even a little faster.

Although that may not be Jiang Yuan's usual speed, the world is too vast!

To search aimlessly would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

If the direction is wrong, all efforts would be in vain.

As Bi An left,

Teng Qing arrived at the same place shortly after.

But at this moment, he was unaware that Jiang Yuan had changed his route to avoid meeting Bi An and was now heading towards the Ten Thousand Star Tower.

"Weird, why is the fire element so strong here?"

As Teng Qing passed by the place where Bi An had briefly stayed, a hint of doubt flashed through his mind.

Then he dismissed this doubt and continued on the predetermined route.

There was also a hint of excitement in his heart.

Just now, after communicating, the three people he contacted were already on their way here.

They were in front, and he was behind.

With three in front and one behind, Jiang Yuan would have nowhere to escape.

As for who would ultimately obtain the Nine Transformation Gold Core,

He didn't know, and they tacitly avoided mentioning it.

In the face of such precious Ninth Grade elixirs, all verbal restraints were laughable.

For cultivation, for the attainment of the Great Dao,

Any restraint could be anticipated and would inevitably be torn apart.

At this stage, their greatest wish in life was to attain the Dao Fruit of a Saint and enter the realm of a Saint.

In the face of such temptation, what meaning did verbal restraints have?

For Teng Qing, even though he had already reached the Second Level of the Grotto-Heaven Realm at his age,

But when it came to attaining the Dao Fruit of a Saint, he only had a fifty percent chance of success.

If he could obtain the Nine Transformation Gold Core, it would be completely different.

As long as he fully assimilated the Nine Transformation Gold Core, he had a fifty percent chance of attaining the Dao Fruit of a Saint.

That was the difference, and also the greatest temptation for them.

Because of this, they tacitly avoided mentioning it.

At the same time,

Bi An's departure and Teng Qing's appearance were both within Jiang Yuan's line of sight.

With the effect of the Dual Pupils, anyone's arrival would be detected by Jiang Yuan in advance.

Then, after adjusting his position, Jiang Yuan headed straight towards the direction of the Ten Thousand Star Tower.

There were no surprises along the way, and Jiang Yuan continued to approach the Ten Thousand Star Tower.

Until several hours later.

A new day arrived.

Jiang Yuan first harvested the Luck power that had been born within him.

Luck power +10.

Then he opened his panel and casually watered the advanced Luck seeds on the panel.

He glanced at the Luck column on his panel.

[Luck Power]: 4424 strands.

It's almost halfway there!

In a few hours, as long as he reached the territory of the Ten Thousand Star Tower, there would definitely be a batch of Luck power to harvest.

That was also the reason why Jiang Yuan wanted to go to the Ten Thousand Star Tower.

Because of its uniqueness, there were usually some geniuses staying in the territory of the Ten Thousand Star Tower, exchanging various cultivation resources.

So this place is the gathering place of the proud of heaven.

As long as you reach the territory of the Ten Thousand Star Tower, you can definitely harvest a wave of Luck power.

By then, the distance to the Ten Thousand Strands of Luck power will no longer be far away.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan's heart is filled with anticipation.

When he reaches the Ten Thousand Star Tower, his strength will definitely rise to a higher level.

Then.

When he closed the panel in front of him.

His figure suddenly stopped.

Because he saw a woman's figure flying rapidly in the distance.

This direction.

Jiang Yuan observed for a moment, then continued to secretly say.

It's the direction I was heading before!

Could it be that she is also coming for me?

Jiang Yuan's gaze slightly condensed, he opened her panel and took a look.

[Name]: Lin Ji

[Realm]: Triple Grotto-Heaven Realm

[Innate Luck]: Evergreen Body (Purple), Wood Source Divine Body (Purple), Innate Spiritual Body (Blue), Heavenly Human Integration (Blue), Prosperous Luck (Blue)

[Evergreen Body]: Naturally long lifespan, eternal youth, can draw on the source of all things in the world to nourish oneself, prolong life and enhance cultivation.

[Wood Source Divine Body]: A special physique that blends with the wood element, possessing unparalleled talent in this aspect.

[Innate Spiritual Body]: Special physique, naturally close to spiritual power, can naturally absorb spiritual power into the body.

[Heavenly Human Integration]: Can easily comprehend the state of Heavenly Human Integration, can become the master of heaven and earth.

Jiang Yuan looked at the woman's panel and his heart suddenly froze, secretly amazed.

Such powerful Innate Luck!

This person must have been on the supreme list of the previous session.

Cannot provoke!

Let her pass for now!

Jiang Yuan immediately stopped advancing and quietly waited for Lin Ji to pass by from his front.

After a while.

Lin Ji passed by in the far distance in front of him, and then continued further away.

The direction was exactly the same as the direction he was heading before, without any deviation along the way.

"Perhaps as I expected, this woman's target is me!"

Jiang Yuan murmured.

Then a smile appeared on his face: "Fortunately, I have already changed my route."

After Lin Ji had gone far away, Jiang Yuan quickly transformed into a rainbow and headed towards the direction where the Ten Thousand Star Tower was located.

There was no more delay along the way.

Jiang Yuan also knew that if Lin Ji really joined forces with Teng Qing to surround him from the front and back.

When they discovered that he did not appear as they expected, they would definitely know that he had chosen a new route.

In this way, they might not spread the news of him obtaining the Nine Transformation Gold Core so quickly!

Jiang Yuan secretly thought.

He also had a certain degree of confidence in this.

Unless absolutely necessary, no one would choose to publicize this matter.

If it attracted the true top powerhouses in this place.

They would have no chance against the Nine Transformation Gold Core on their bodies!

Who would be willing to be a pawn for others?

And his own strength is only at the Sixfold Grotto-Heaven Realm.

This is the most unwilling part for them.

Because in their eyes, once they catch someone with his level of strength, there will be no chance to struggle.

After all, the difference between the Sixfold Grotto-Heaven Realm and the Grotto-Heaven Realm is too great.
