Longevity: Start From The Entry Of Luck

Chapter 397: [The God of Slaughter is in the World], Ancient Celestial Court Ruins! (Part 2)

Just a moment later.

The purple avenue that appeared in the void entered Jiang Yuan's chest!

After a few breaths.

Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

"Assimilating the Dao into the body, no wonder you dared to enter the dangerous Ancient Celestial Court Ruins!" Dugu Bo exclaimed in astonishment.

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly in response.

"The Demon Saint who enters the Ancient Celestial Court Ruins loses the greatest authority of the Saint Realm, Dao Integration!"

"As a Saint Realm with deficiencies, losing the greatest authority means they are only equivalent to a stronger Grotto-Heaven realm!"

"Furthermore, as the Dean said, the Demon Saints who enter are at most at the initial stage of the Demon Saint realm."

"Although I am not a match for them, with my body assimilated with the Dao and empowered by the Dao, I still have some confidence in self-preservation!"

Dugu Bo, surprised, asked, "You can assimilate with the Dao?"

"Yes!" Jiang Yuan nodded. "I can assimilate with the Dao and be empowered by it, as if I have taken control of the Saint's authority in advance!"

Upon hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Dugu Bo was immediately amazed.

"This kind of talent is extremely rare. I didn't expect you to possess it!"

"In that case, the special environment of the Ancient Celestial Court Ruins is actually advantageous for you!"

Jiang Yuan nodded, "That's right. The special environment of the Ancient Celestial Court Ruins currently has no disadvantages for me, only benefits."

"Not bad, you are indeed the man I have chosen!" Dugu Bo exclaimed.

Ye Chanxi also nodded slightly as she looked at Jiang Yuan.

Sensing Ye Chanxi's gaze, Jiang Yuan turned his head and smiled at her.

Seeing this scene, Dugu Bo couldn't help but show a speechless expression.

Then he said, "Stop flirting and let's go! It's not close from here to the Southern Ming Star Region!"

Jiang Yuan turned around and said, "Wait a moment! There is one more thing I haven't finished!"

After speaking, Jiang Yuan closed his eyes again.

Just a few breaths later.

Suddenly.

The void trembled, and the heavens and earth roared!

The patterns of the Dao appeared, and the Order Divine Chains faintly emerged.

This world instantly became extremely terrifying, filled with waves of fluctuations.

This is...

Dugu Bo's pupils constricted as he looked at the upper part of the void.

Only to see above Jiang Yuan's head, with this movement, a black avenue slowly appeared.

Wherever this avenue passed, everything seemed to turn into nothingness.

When light touched this avenue, it was instantly swallowed and unable to reflect any color, so this avenue appeared purely black.

This blackness was the devouring blackness that consumed everything.

"The Devouring Dao!"

Dugu Bo murmured, his face showing shock.

And at this moment, under Jiang Yuan's will, the Devouring Dao temporarily separated from the Devouring Dao parasitic in the three thousand Daos.

Then it continuously merged into his body.

With the integration of the Devouring Dao, billions of clusters of information suddenly appeared in Jiang Yuan's mind.

Those were the places he had not previously comprehended.

For other cultivators, if they wanted to comprehend the Devouring Dao, even if they were outstanding geniuses, they would still be like flowers in the mist, the moon in the water.

They couldn't see clearly, and it was extremely difficult to comprehend.

The higher the affinity with the Dao, the clearer one could see, and the process of observation and comprehension would naturally be extremely simple.

The reason why the Dao Soldiers could guide cultivators to comprehend the corresponding Dao was because of the Dao rules contained within them.

Although not complete, although only an interpretation of a certain aspect.

But the Dao rules contained within were relatively clear, and the process of observation and comprehension was relatively simple. They could guide cultivators to quickly overcome the most important threshold.

The clearer one could see the Dao, the simpler the comprehension.

It is precisely because of this reason that almost any powerful individual in history who possessed Ancient Dual Pupils inevitably stepped into the realm of Half-Step Supreme.

Most of them completed the ultimate leap and entered the pinnacle of the human realm.

But Jiang Yuan at this moment was different.

The Devouring Dao nurtured within him was parasitic on the Devouring Dao rooted in the three thousand Daos.

Previously, it had been constantly devouring the Integrated Union.

Now that it had returned to his body, it naturally took away the insights contained within.

If he could completely devour the original Devouring Dao in the future and replace it.

Jiang Yuan would naturally and effortlessly master the Devouring Dao and become the Devouring Dao Lord.

After a moment.

Having completed the assimilation of the Dao into his body, Jiang Yuan was also quickly digesting the insights in his mind.

After another cup of tea's time, Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

Dugu Bo looked at Jiang Yuan in astonishment and said, "Only today do I understand that your future surpasses my imagination!"

"If you can grow smoothly, you will definitely be the number one powerhouse in this world."

"Even if True Immortals revive, they may not be your opponents!"

Jiang Yuan said, "That may be true, but what I lack the most now is time!"

After saying that, he glanced at Ye Chanxi's belly.

Then he said, "And my cultivation realm is ultimately too low now, I can't even protect myself!"

Dugu Bo smiled and shook his head, "Your cultivation speed is already very fast. In just a few years, you have reached this step!"

"At this rate, it won't be long before you may be able to achieve sainthood!"

Then he said, "Is there anything else you need to do?"

Jiang Yuan said, "No! We can leave now!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo let out a sigh of relief.

Then he said, "Since that's the case, let's go! Do you know which direction to go to the Southern Ming Star Domain?"

Jiang Yuan nodded, "I know! I looked at Senior Brother Beiheng's star domain map and naturally remembered the location of the Southern Ming Star Domain."

Dugu Bo smiled, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you didn't remember. After we arrive in the extraterritorial starry sky, I can sense the fluctuations of the Ancient Heavenly Court ruins about to appear!"

Jiang Yuan's gaze suddenly condensed upon hearing this.

"Dean, does this mean that there will be many people participating in this ancient Heavenly Court site?"

"There won't be few!" Dugu Bo said, "The number of times the ancient Heavenly Court site has appeared in history is not small. Some sites have even appeared repeatedly, each with its own operating rules."

"Some ancient divine weapons were obtained from these sites! Including the formula for the Nine Revolutions Gold Core!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan asked again.

"Then, does that mean the ancient Heavenly Court is not a product of this era?"

Dugu Bo shook his head slightly, "I don't know, maybe it is, maybe it isn't!"

Then he said, "This question is not crucial. What's crucial is that you be extremely careful on this trip to the ancient Heavenly Court!"

Jiang Yuan felt the two great paths in his body grow stronger and immediately said, "Dean, don't worry! I am confident!"

"Good, let's go!" Dugu Bo said.

With that, Jiang Yuan embraced Ye Chanxi's waist and instantly used the Great Teleportation Technique to head towards the direction of the Southern Ming Star Region.

According to his previous understanding, the star region where the Five Domains and Four Seas are located is called Tianyuan.

And the Southern Ming Star Region is approximately 150 light-years away from here.

Thinking of this number, he couldn't help but be amazed.

One hundred and fifty light-years, what a vast distance.

If this were in his previous life, it would be an almost eternal unknown place.

But in this life, even with his current cultivation level, using the Great Teleportation Technique, this distance of 150 light-years is not considered far.

If not, he wouldn't have waited until now to set off.

After a while, Jiang Yuan and Ye Chanxi rushed into the vast and profound Outer Domain.

The further they went, the more they could feel the silence outside the spatial barrier.

The stars they passed along the way were all incredibly desolate and quiet.

After a long time, Dugu Bo suddenly spoke.

"Have you noticed? The deeper we go into the Outer Domain, the faster our speed becomes!"

Jiang Yuan, upon hearing this, said, "I have noticed, it seems to be related to the suppression force?"

"Correct!" Dugu Bo affirmed, "The closer we get to the Five Domains and Four Seas, the more the three thousand great paths flourish, and the stronger the suppression force of this world becomes. The spatial barrier becomes more stable, so our speed becomes slower!"

"Now that we are constantly moving away, the further we are from the Five Domains and Four Seas, the weaker the great paths become, and the weaker the suppression force on us. Therefore, our speed will also become faster!"

Jiang Yuan said, "Dean, will there be a point where the great paths no longer exist?"

"There will be!" Dugu Bo affirmed, "The length of the three thousand great paths is limited because some are stronger and some are weaker. Some great paths are so weak in the border wasteland that they are almost imperceptible."

"In such places, the status of a Saint will also decline, just like entering an ancient Heavenly Court site, considered a Saint with flaws, losing authority!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan asked again, "Will we be unable to use the Great Teleportation Technique because of this?"

Dugu Bo said, "No, that won't be the case. The Great Teleportation Technique relies on the Divine Ability of the spatial great path! Why is the spatial great path powerful?"

"Because it encompasses every corner of the marginal universe of the spatial great path and the temporal great path, which are the basic elements that make up our world!"

"Therefore, no matter where you are, you will inevitably sense the existence of the spatial great path!"

"It is precisely because of this that the spatial great path is the top-level great path, ranking only below the temporal great path!"

"Among the three thousand great paths, there are very few that can rival or come close to it!"

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Yuan nodded slowly.

"Thank you, Dean, for clarifying!"

Then Jiang Yuan continued, "Dean, everywhere we have been is desolate and lifeless."

"But there are traces left by ancient buildings and the presence of living beings!"

"Could it be that these ancient stars once had life?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo spoke, "Do you know how many epochs our world has gone through?"

Jiang Yuan shook his head slowly, "I don't know!"

Dugu Bo said, "As far as I know, there have been no less than five epochs!"

"But in fact, the number of past epochs is far greater than the number I mentioned!"

"No one knows how many cycles this world has gone through!"

"And how many epochs have changed!"

"As you just said, there are traces of living beings on some ancient stars, indeed!"

"Perhaps in previous epochs, the ancient stars you saw along the way once gave birth to brilliant civilizations!"

"Perhaps they were also the training grounds of some supreme experts!"

"But now, in the vast expanse of the universe, only the Five Lakes and Four Seas can still nurture life."

Jiang Yuan listened quietly to Dugu Bo's words, then he spoke.

"Dean, is it possible that there are other cradles of life beyond the deep space?"

Dugu Bo said, "Not very likely! In fact, throughout the long history, many Saints and even Supremes have explored the universe."

"In ancient times, when the connection between the heavens and the earth was not yet severed, there were even upper realm experts who explored the world we are in."

"No matter how vast the range they explored, they never found another cradle of life."

Dugu Bo paused, then continued, "Moreover! I once saw records about this world in an ancient book."

"This world was originally desolate and lifeless!"

"It seems to be heading towards true doomsday!"

"But a supreme expert emerged and created the Five Domains and Four Seas, gathering and converging the essence of this world, which is the Five Domains and Four Seas we are in!"

"It is precisely because of this extraordinary act that our era can give birth to such powerful cultivators."

Looking back at past epochs, the cultivation path of our era is actually very strong, very strong!"

Jiang Yuan, upon hearing this, nodded in agreement, "Dean, what you said makes sense, and I also know it to be true!"

Then he continued, "If that's the case, doesn't it mean that our era will also change and cycle?"

Dugu Bo said, "Exactly! That's right! Everything has a beginning and an end, and this world is no exception. Our era will eventually come to an end!"

"Nothing in this world is eternal, not even the world itself!"

"And" Dugu Bo paused for a moment, then continued, "Our era may be the last one, and after this era ends, our world may completely fall into silence!"

Jiang Yuan was startled upon hearing this.

"Dean, why would you say that?"

Dugu Bo said, "It's not me saying this, it's what is written in a certain ancient book. This statement comes from a giant figure from the upper realm."

"I don't know the specific basis, I'm not very familiar with it!"

"But those few ancient stars we passed by, where life once existed, may be our future, or maybe not!"

"From the prosperity of the ancient epochs, with living beings spread across the universe, to our current era, where we are confined to the small Five Domains and Four Seas, it already indicates some problems!"

"Our world is heading towards destruction!"

Immediately, he chuckled again, "But this has nothing to do with us! Our meager lifespan of a few thousand or at most ten thousand years is nothing but a fleeting moment in this long epoch!"

"The only ones who need to worry about this are the forbidden beings of the upper realm."

Jiang Yuan frowned at this moment.

"Dean, do you know why there is a cycle of epochs?"

"How can cultivators, who are so powerful, suddenly face extinction?"

"And the information left behind from the ancient epochs is also very limited!"

Dugu Bo said, "Your question must involve some incredibly secretive events that I couldn't possibly know!"

"The only ones who might be able to answer your doubts are the overlords of the upper realm or the giants."

Then he added, "Now we are still in an era where the heavens and the earth are connected, and the two realms are not connected. We can only speculate!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan sighed, "Well, this is not something I should consider!"

Dugu Bo smiled, "That's right! Only those with long lifespans might need to consider this."

With that, they fell into silence.

In Jiang Yuan's mind, thoughts were racing. From the conversation just now, he suddenly learned many things he had never known before. Although he only had a partial understanding, it was enough to stir waves in his heart.

Time flew by rapidly.

The speed of the two of them also increased.

At this point, Jiang Yuan's physical body traversing the universe had become extremely easy.

Four days later.

Jiang Yuan looked back and could no longer see the Five Domains and Four Seas behind him!

He could only rely on the perception of the rules of the Great Dao to determine the direction and coordinates of the Five Domains and Four Seas in this situation, to ensure that he would not lose his way.

As for the scenery outside the spatial boundary.

It was an incredibly profound black, with no light in any direction, and no cosmic wonders to be seen.

Apart from black, there was only an incomparable coldness and silence.

It felt like a true land of death.

In such a place, even if one traveled far, they would not feel any changes.

In this situation, it was as if time and space completely ceased to exist. A normal person in such a place would only need a moment to slowly collapse!

After experiencing these changes over the past few days, Jiang Yuan somewhat understood why there were Saints lost in the universe.

If they were too far away from the Five Domains and Four Seas, completely losing their perception.

Unable to find their way back, if they were unlucky and didn't choose the right direction, they would only drift further and further away, eventually getting lost in the darkness and icy universe.

Perhaps they would slowly go insane, their Dao heart collapsing and disintegrating, or perhaps they would completely wither away, becoming dry corpses drifting in the universe.

Dugu Bo suddenly said, "Do you know where we are now?"

Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment, then spoke, "We should be close to the Southern Ming Star Region!"

At this moment, Jiang Yuan glanced at the panel.

[Heavenly Destiny Opportunity]: In four days, there will be the appearance of the Ancient Heavenly Court ruins in the Southern Ming Star Region. In the Ju Mang Mansion within it, there exists a seed of the World Tree.

In his line of sight, there was also a guidance that only he could see, pointing towards deep space.

That guidance came from his panel.

As for the direction of the guidance, it was the place where the Ancient Heavenly Court ruins appeared, and also the place where he sought his opportunity.

Dugu Bo laughed and said, "We have arrived at the so-called Southern Star Territory! Based on our journey, it will probably take only one day to reach the location where the ancient Heavenly Court ruins appeared!"

Jiang Yuan said, "In terms of time, we have been traveling for four days, but I don't feel any changes at all."

Dugu Bo agreed, "Indeed, this is why it is easy to get lost in the extraterritorial starry sky! Unless necessary, no one would choose to leave the Five Domains and Four Seas to go to the extraterritorial starry sky."

At this moment, Jiang Yuan silently harvested the newly born golden aura from the three of them.

Luck Power +100.

Luck Power +10.

Luck Power +10.

After completing the daily harvest, he opened his own panel and chose to water two Luck seeds.

After completing this series of daily tasks, he immediately closed the panel and continued towards the direction of the ancient Heavenly Court ruins with Ye Chanxi.

One day later, Dugu Bo said, "We are not far from the front. Your speed is good, faster than I imagined by one or two days!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "I have made some progress these days!"

Dugu Bo sighed, "It's not just some progress these days, but progress every day!"

Ye Chanxi's voice quietly sounded in Jiang Yuan's ear.

"Not bad! You are indeed the person my sister has chosen!"

At this moment, Jiang Yuan saw a faint light shining in the depths of the pitch-black starry sky ahead.

His gaze instantly focused.

That is...

In the next moment, in front of his speed, the light instantly became extremely bright.

He also instantly understood what it was. It was a huge fireball, like a star, suspended in the starry sky ahead.

"We have arrived!" said Dugu Bo.

In an instant, Jiang Yuan appeared in the desolate starry sky with Ye Chanxi.

In front of them was a burning star.

Dugu Bo also appeared beside Jiang Yuan.

He praised, "Impressive means. We are already so far from the Five Domains and Four Seas in this place, and the Great Dao that can extend to this place is already extremely weak. Yet someone can still ignite a star here for illumination."

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly and spoke, "With this shining and heating star, it does feel different! The heaviness in my heart has also eased a lot!"

"That's for sure!" Dugu Bo nodded.

At this moment, with the appearance of Jiang Yuan and Dugu Bo, they immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Jiang Yuan also glanced around and immediately saw that there were already some people and demons gathered here.

These people and demons were on two ancient stars, and there was a faint feeling of confrontation between them.

Dugu Bo said, "Let's go, let's go down!"

Then he showed a slight smile, "I'm not worried about your safety anymore. Nie Yuan is down there, with his care, you should be much safer!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan's expression also brightened.

"Third Senior Brother is here?"

"Yes, let's go down and meet him!" Dugu Bo said.

At the next moment.

The three of them descended from the void towards a star below.

That star was not big, it could be considered small.

From Jiang Yuan's perspective, it was only about a quarter the size of the moon.

As they descended, they were immediately met with gazes.

In the star where the demon race resided.

"It's actually him! Jiang Yuan?" A majestic demon race member showed a look of joy.

Then he said, "He actually dares to come here?"

Another powerful demon race member beside him glanced at him indifferently.

"Why wouldn't he dare? Haven't you seen who he's with? That's the existence that defeated the Peng Emperor head-on!"

"With Dugu Bo here, do you dare to make a move against Jiang Yuan?"

"Aren't you afraid of being slapped to death by that Saint Emperor?"

Upon hearing these words, the demon saint immediately shrunk his neck.

"I dare not!"

"Just now I didn't pay attention, I didn't expect Jiang Yuan to be accompanied by such a powerful figure, we shouldn't provoke him!"

"But why would that Saint Emperor follow Jiang Yuan?"

"This doesn't seem right!!"

Another demon race member sneered, "What's wrong with that! Jiang Yuan is the one who defeated the Monkey Void in the Alliance Battle!"

"He even made the Peng Emperor personally take action, using his strength to bully the weak and wanting to kill Jiang Yuan!"

"Although he didn't succeed, it shows how much the Peng Emperor fears Jiang Yuan."

"Since the Peng Emperor fears him so much, it naturally proves how monstrous Jiang Yuan is."

"I estimate that in a few years, his strength will be no weaker than us old guys who have already become saints!"

"We can all see Jiang Yuan's talent and potential, do you think that Saint Emperor can't see it?"

"Since Jiang Yuan chose to join the Holy Academy, it's only natural for the Saint Emperor to protect him."

Upon hearing these comments, the demon saint nodded slowly.

"It makes sense, but it's a bit of a pity!"

"We can't sell the Peng Emperor a favor!"

The previous demon race member spoke again.

"It's not necessarily impossible!"

"Dugu Bo has reached this point, but he can't enter the upcoming Ancient Heavenly Court ruins!"

"Since Jiang Yuan has come here, it means he agrees to enter the Ancient Heavenly Court ruins."

"We can secretly kill Jiang Yuan inside, and no one will know!"

"Even Dugu Bo wouldn't attack us for the sake of avenging Jiang Yuan, right?"

.

On the other side.

Jiang Yuan and the other two slowly landed on that ancient star.

A man with a cold face and dressed in black armor suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Yuan and Dugu Bo.

"Greetings, Dean!"

Then he smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, "Junior Brother!"

Jiang Yuan clasped his hands, "Greetings, Third Senior Brother!"

At the same time he clasped his hands, he quietly opened the man's panel in front of him.

[Name]: Nie Yuan

[Realm]: Triple Saint Realm

[Innate Luck]: God of Slaughter in the World (Gold), Divine Blood Golden Body (Gold), Martial Art Spirit Communication (Purple), Qi and Blood like a Dragon (Purple), Heaven Rewards Diligence (Purple)

[God of Slaughter in the World]: Possesses the Dao of killing, can devour and absorb the Dao Fruit of the person he kills for his own use.

[Divine Blood Golden Body]: Possesses divine blood, the golden body is self-formed.

[Qi and Blood like a Dragon]: Qi and blood are extremely vigorous, like a coiling dragon, physical strength is enhanced, and physical talent is extremely high.

[Martial Art Spirit Communication]: Transforming technique into Dao, any martial technique or cultivation method that comes into his hands can be comprehended.

[Heaven Rewards Diligence]: Effort will be rewarded!

Seeing Nie Yuan's panel, Jiang Yuan was secretly surprised.

Among the people he had seen, this panel was also extremely outstanding, ranking in the top ten.

Jiang Yuan understood even more why there were so few students in the Holy Academy.

The Holy Academy had existed for hundreds of years, but so far, including himself, there were only nine students, which showed how high Dugu Bo's requirements were for accepting disciples.

So it was no wonder that most of the senior brothers and sisters he had seen were extraordinary with golden Innate Luck.

It was also no wonder that Nie Yuan became the vice hall master of the Heaven Killing Pavilion.

He was indeed suitable for this path.

That Innate Luck of [God of Slaughter in the World] was a perfect match for his identity.

As long as he killed the enemy, he could absorb and devour the Dao Fruit of the person he killed for his own use.

Then Jiang Yuan had a thought.

The golden aura on Nie Yuan's body instantly flew into his panel.

Luck Power +1550.

At the same time, the golden aura on the bodies of the people in the distance also quickly flew into his panel.

Luck Power +118.

Luck Power +1380.

Luck Power +930.

In an instant, the Luck Power on Jiang Yuan's panel skyrocketed.

[Luck Power]: 87660 strands.

Seeing the total amount of Luck Power on his panel, Jiang Yuan was overjoyed.

Then he suppressed the excitement in his heart.

Nie Yuan looked at Jiang Yuan and laughed, "I didn't expect the Dean to bring Junior Brother here, this is quite unexpected!"

Then he exclaimed, "Looking at it now, the Dean values Junior Brother quite a bit!"

Dugu Bo smiled faintly, "What's wrong? Feeling unbalanced?"

"How could that be!" Nie Yuan waved his hand, "Isn't Junior Brother here to be protected? How could I feel unbalanced!"
