Longevity: Start From The Entry Of Luck

Chapter 437: Igniting Stars, Fireworks in the Universe!

Jiang Yuan glanced once again in the direction where Du Gu Bo was, and at this moment, Du Gu Bo was also bathed in thunderous light.

The thunder that illuminated the universe completely engulfed Du Gu Bo's figure.

After watching for several breaths, Jiang Yuan withdrew his gaze.

"It's time to find a way to restore my own mana!"

Jiang Yuan inwardly examined his body and muttered to himself.

Even after half a day had passed, his mana recovery was still limited.

About fifty percent of his mana had not yet recovered.

In the starry sky outside the Five Domains and Four Seas, there was a sense of deathly silence.

Not only was the power of the Three Thousand Great Daos weak here, even some weaker Great Daos couldn't extend to this place.

Moreover, the spiritual energy here was extremely thin, even more so than the dense spiritual energy in Lin'an County by more than a hundred times.

Therefore, for him, mana recovery was extremely slow, and he could only rely on the Grotto-Heaven world within his body to slowly recover.

Jiang Yuan could also feel that as his mana gradually recovered, there seemed to be extremely weak damage to the origin of the Grotto-Heaven world within him.

This method of recovery could not be used as a regular means, as it would weaken the origin of the Grotto-Heaven over time.

"No wonder those Saints who ventured deep into the universe would be completely lost and unable to return! It turns out it's because of this reason!"

Jiang Yuan pondered slightly and muttered to himself.

After his own transformation, he completely understood why those Saints who explored this world in the universe would sit in meditation in the universe.

The further away from the Five Domains and Four Seas, the thinner the spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy here alone was so thin that if one continued to venture deep into the universe, hundreds or even thousands of light-years away, or even tens of thousands of light-years away, the spiritual energy might completely disappear and become a place of absolute death.

In that case, even if the Saints walked through the universe, carrying a vast Grotto-Heaven world, it would be like a tree without roots, water without a source. If they lost their way and lost the route of return, they would eventually let the Grotto-Heaven world within them fall into extinction.

In such a situation, even the Saints with great power would completely sit in meditation deep in the universe.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan took a deep breath.

"No wonder some people speculate that the Five Domains and Four Seas might be a prison!"

According to what he knew from his previous life, humans speculated that the universe was 9.3 billion light-years long.

This was a despairing number.

So this vast and boundless universe was the best prison.

Even with boundless power, one could not cross this land of absolute death, nor could one cross this vast distance.

"Now, looking at it, this speculation does make sense!"

From his perspective, this speculation was not unfounded.

In such a vast universe, the Five Domains and Four Seas were as tiny as a reef in the ocean.

This boundless universe was the best prison.

Jiang Yuan's gaze swept across the four corners of the universe. Apart from the thunder formed by the heavenly tribulation, there was only endless darkness.

This darkness was like an abyss without bottom, once fallen into it, there seemed to be no possibility of escape!

But compared to this viewpoint, Jiang Yuan felt that another viewpoint was more likely.

That was, this world had gradually been heading towards extinction, devoid of vitality and spirituality.

The Five Domains and Four Seas might be the last place where life could be nurtured.

Because in his previous life, he had at least seen the mysterious and vast universe, and had seen billions of stars shining.

Although he had only seen it with the help of instruments, it undoubtedly indicated that in his previous life, this universe was not so lifeless.

Contemplating this, Jiang Yuan's gaze turned towards the depths of the distant starry sky.

Based on the entanglement of the causal lines, he could sense that there was a planet far away from this place that had a causal connection with him.

This was the only causal line that was so distant from him.

A vague feeling told him that the planet was the one he had been in in his past life.

Jiang Yuan stared blankly for a few moments before slowly withdrawing his gaze.

Then he thought to himself, he should find an opportunity to visit that planet and see if it was indeed the blue star from his past life.

He silently kept this matter in his heart. If the other end of that causal line was indeed the blue star from his past life, it would prove many of his speculations.

Afterwards, Jiang Yuan followed that causal line and looked at himself.

In his line of sight, he was different from others.

On others, the causal lines were tightly entwined around their bodies, penetrating deep inside.

But the causal lines on his body were floating about a foot away from him, neither far nor entwined with his body.

In this situation, even the supreme beings who were skilled in the way of causality could not take action against him along the causal lines, nor could they deduce any information about him based on causality.

Jiang Yuan understood this in his heart and did not find it strange.

This was just another characteristic effect of his Innate luck.

[Transcendent]: Beyond the Three Realms, not within the Five Elements, unaffected by causality, in the heavens and the earth, no one can deduce anything about you.

The next moment, Jiang Yuan's figure moved and he instantly displayed the Great Teleportation Technique.

He also felt that the space here was very different from the Five Domains and Four Seas.

If the space in the Five Domains and Four Seas was like a thick steel plate, then the hardness of the space here was like an ordinary wooden board. The difference between the two was like heaven and earth, and it also resulted in weaker restrictions on him.

In this place, his speed was countless times faster than in the Five Domains and Four Seas. He easily crossed the distant starry sky and instantly moved away from the position where Dugu Bo and Ye Chanxi were.

With the causal line as a guide, Jiang Yuan had no worries about getting lost in this boundless universe.

After a moment, Jiang Yuan returned to the Southern Star Domain and appeared in front of a huge star.

This star was incredibly huge, more than ten times larger than the blue star in his past life.

The star was filled with a sense of desolation, and the surface was covered in endless yellow sand sweeping across the sky.

"Let's give it a try!"

Jiang Yuan murmured to himself.

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden sun true fire slowly appeared at his fingertips.

The moment this flame appeared, it seemed as if a sun had appeared in the starry sky, completely illuminating the surroundings.

As the flame flickered, the space shattered and repaired itself like a mirror, constantly being shattered by the flickering flame.

"Go!"

Jiang Yuan lightly flicked his finger and the golden sun true fire instantly turned into a stream of light, shooting into the star ahead.

Jiang Yuan instantly looked ahead and saw the desolate ancient star in front of him.

After a few breaths, a smile slowly appeared on Jiang Yuan's face.

"To detonate a star, it's actually so simple!"

As he muttered to himself, he also felt the material inside the star collapsing and fusing together.

Under such commotion, this celestial body is transforming into a star.

After a moment.

The scorching flames have spread from the crust to the surface, erupting and causing thousands of miles of solar storms.

"Beautiful!!"

Jiang Yuan exclaimed as he looked at the fireworks shining in the universe ahead.

The engulfing magma flames quickly devoured the material on the surface of this celestial body.

At this moment, under Jiang Yuan's detonation, this ancient celestial body transformed into another state.

It turned into a luminous and hot star, releasing its final brilliance.

Jiang Yuan looked at the star ahead, slowly closed his eyes, and a terrifying devouring force erupted from his body, as if his body had turned into a celestial black hole.

The energy released from the star was captured by Jiang Yuan's devouring force and quickly devoured and refined.

After dozens of breaths.

Jiang Yuan stopped, slowly opened his eyes.

"It's feasible! But the energy released by a star is too slow. Although it greatly restores my mana, it's not fast enough!"

After a moment.

Jiang Yuan captured nine slightly smaller ancient stars and used the Great Teleportation Technique to quickly rush to the location where Dugu Bo and Ye Chanxi were.

Compared to the speed at which he arrived here, Jiang Yuan's speed was slowed down by the nine stars, thus becoming slower.

Half an hour.

Jiang Yuan once again walked out of the Southern Sea Star Domain and returned to the position where he had just been.

"Where did you go, kid?" Dugu Bo looked at Jiang Yuan appearing in front of him and spoke.

Jiang Yuan smiled and raised his hand.

Nine stars instantly appeared in all directions.

"What are you doing??" Dugu Bo looked around in surprise.

Jiang Yuan smiled, "Dean, these are tools that students use to restore their mana after consuming it!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo looked at Jiang Yuan with even more confusion.

"Restore consumed mana?"

"How can these nine stars help you restore mana?"

"This place is almost a dead zone, indeed not suitable for mana restoration!"

"If you really want to restore mana, it's best to return to the Five Domains and Four Seas!"

Upon hearing Dugu Bo's words, Jiang Yuan's lips curled into a faint smile.

"Dean, please watch!"

As he spoke, Jiang Yuan condensed clusters of True Sun Fire, waved his hand, and infused these nine clusters of True Sun Fire into the nine stars.

In an instant, Dugu Bo's expression slightly froze.

"Are you going to ignite these nine stars?"

"Yes!" Jiang Yuan nodded.

After a moment.

Boom!

Flames erupted from the interior of the stars, engulfing the entire celestial body.

In the blink of an eye, these nine stars transformed into nine constantly fusing stars, releasing endless light and heat.

They slowly illuminated the starry sky.

In the next moment.

As a powerful devouring force erupted from Jiang Yuan's body.

The energy emitted by the stars continuously converged towards Jiang Yuan.

Particles of light gathered into rivers and seas on Jiang Yuan's body.

Continuously merging into Jiang Yuan's body, being devoured and refined by Jiang Yuan.

"Great technique!!"

Dugu Bo exclaimed in astonishment.

After more than a dozen breaths, Jiang Yuan stopped this behavior, and the devouring force dissipated.

"This is the recovery technique of a student!"

Jiang Yuan said.

"It is indeed a great technique! The Devouring Great Dao truly deserves to be among the top three thousand Great Daos. Its effect is unexpectedly powerful!"

"With this technique, you can also assimilate the Devouring Great Dao into your body. No matter where you go, even in extremely desolate places, you can easily replenish your expended mana!"

Jiang Yuan nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"The Devouring Great Dao is indeed extremely powerful!"

"If it weren't for the Devouring Great Dao, I wouldn't have had a chance to come this far!"

After saying that, Jiang Yuan smiled again.

"Dean, how do you feel after crossing the Thirty-Nine Thunder Tribulations?"

Dugu Bo nodded with a delighted expression on his face.

"Very good! The effect of the Heavenly Tribulation is truly extraordinary!"

"After the tempering and baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation, I feel that my Dao Fruit has become purer, and my Primordial Spirit has actually grown by nearly ten percent. It's unimaginable!"

"If I can cross the Sixty-Nine Heavenly Tribulations, the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations, and even the Saint Heavenly Tribulation, my chances of completing the ultimate leap and entering the realm of humanity will be even greater!"

Jiang Yuan nodded and continued, "Dean, then I will continue to summon the Sixty-Nine Heavenly Tribulations for you!"

"Good!" Dugu Bo nodded and continued, "Then I'll stay further away from you to prevent any impact on this place."

After a moment.

The two appeared in the distance.

With a slight movement of Jiang Yuan's mind.

Crack--

A silver light seemed to tear apart this universe, illuminating a range of several light-years.

Following that, rolling black clouds gathered from all directions towards Dugu Bo's head.

Jiang Yuan said, "Dean, I'll leave first!"

Dugu Bo said, "Go ahead!"

Jiang Yuan nodded and quickly left the area.

Not long after.

He arrived at the spot where Ye Chanxi was.

Ye Chanxi felt Jiang Yuan's presence and instantly opened her eyes.

At this time, the thunderclouds had already dissipated, leaving endless darkness and emptiness in all directions.

"How do you feel?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"Very good!" Ye Chanxi nodded, "The Heavenly Tribulation is indeed both a test and an opportunity. After the baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation, I feel that I have become stronger!"

Jiang Yuan said again, "Can you withstand the Sixty-Nine Heavenly Tribulations?"

"No problem!" Ye Chanxi nodded, then smiled slightly. "Don't worry! Sister is not that weak! The Thirty-Nine Heavenly Tribulations are just tickling for her!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then you should prepare!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan's mind moved.

In an instant, the starry sky rumbled, and endless thunderclouds rolled in.

Occasionally, lightning flashed as if to tear apart the black tribulation clouds, illuminating the entire starry sky.

Jiang Yuan instructed again, "If you can't bear it, call me, and I'll help you dispel the tribulation clouds!"

"Okay!" Ye Chanxi smiled and nodded, a hint of joy appearing at the corner of her mouth.

Jiang Yuan also nodded with relief.

"Since that's the case, then I'll leave. Be careful!"

After saying that, Jiang Yuan's figure moved and instantly left the place.

After piercing through layers of void, Jiang Yuan appeared in the center of the nine stars.

At this moment, all directions were enveloped by burning stars, flames raging and sweeping across the entire star.

Jiang Yuan also felt as if he was inside the star, with a terrifyingly high temperature. The space seemed unable to withstand this temperature and slightly distorted.

Then, he took a deep breath.

Two flames emerged from the void and entered his body through his nostrils.

"Tastes good!"

Jiang Yuan smacked his lips.

Then he secretly thought, it's time to restore the mana I lost in my body!

After restoring the mana, it will be time for me to cross the Sixty-Nine Heavenly Tribulations.

Not only will the strength of my Primordial Spirit increase significantly, according to previous experience, I will also gain a luck seed.

Last time, after crossing the Sixty-Nine Thunder Tribulations, I obtained a Low Level luck seed. I wonder if I can harvest a higher level luck seed after crossing the Sixty-Nine Thunder Tribulations this time?

Just then, Jiang Yuan suddenly snapped back to reality.

That's right!

With the luck power I have now, I should be able to nurture a High Level luck seed, right?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan immediately looked at his panel.

[luck power]: 6437 strands

[luck seed]: One High Level luck seed, One High Level luck seed

In the next moment, with a slight movement of his mind, a prompt appeared before his eyes.

[Can consume double luck power to nurture and make this High Level luck seed bloom immediately. Will you consume 3800 strands of luck power?]

[Can consume double luck power to nurture and make this High Level luck seed bloom immediately. Will you consume 4120 strands of luck power?]

"So expensive!"

Looking at the prompt that appeared before him, Jiang Yuan silently complained.

Then he felt a heartache.

Originally, one seed only required 1900 strands of luck power, and the other required 2060 strands of luck power.

Both seeds would take a little over three months to grow.

Now, in order to save these three months, he had to pay an additional 3960 strands of luck power, which made Jiang Yuan hesitate.

After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Yuan sighed, "Forget it, let's put it aside for now. I'll consider it after I fully restore my mana."

As the words fell, Jiang Yuan settled his mind and stopped thinking about it.

In the next moment, he closed his eyes and let his thoughts flow.

A powerful devouring force erupted from his body.

The light and heat released by the nine stars around him rushed towards him, being quickly devoured and refined by Jiang Yuan.

But even with the light and heat released by the nine stars, the area where Jiang Yuan was still turned pitch black, like a black Grotto-Heaven, devouring everything tangible or intangible that entered this area.

With the energy released by the nine stars as the source, Jiang Yuan immediately felt the mana in his body recovering rapidly, and his Spirit Sea gradually filled up.

At this moment, compared to when he first opened the Grotto-Heaven, his Spirit Sea had expanded countless times.

Each expansion of the Grotto-Heaven world would also affect the range of the Spirit Sea, making it even broader.

Normally, cultivators at his level would have an immense amount of mana in their bodies. Even if they went all out, it would be difficult to deplete it even after several years of continuous battles.

It was rare to encounter a situation where the mana was completely depleted, especially in the Five Domains and Four Seas, where it was impossible to deplete the mana in one's body.

That's why Jiang Yuan was surprised by the enormous consumption caused by the reverse cause and effect.

Time gradually passed.

Under Jiang Yuan's continuous devouring and absorption, the temperature of the nine stars gradually decreased. Occasionally, magma solidified into soil on the surface of the stars facing him, only to be fused back into a state of fusion under the influence of other substances.

The positions of Ye Chanxi and Dugu Bo were completely submerged in thunderstorms.

Within the range of the heavenly tribulation, all matter was reduced to dust.

Half an hour later.

Jiang Yuan let out a breath and slowly opened his eyes.

"Finally, it's fully recovered!" Jiang Yuan exclaimed.

He then clenched his fist, and the vast and majestic mana flowed between his hands.

A smile appeared on his face. "Not bad! Really good! With this, I can explore the vast universe. No matter where I am, I won't fall into a state of mana depletion."

As he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan looked towards the direction of the star deep in the sky.

In his heart, he thought that with his current strength, the farther he was from the Five Domains and Four Seas, the weaker the suppression of the Three Thousand Great Daos, the weaker the world's will, and the more fragile the spatial barriers. His speed would be faster.

Jiang Yuan closed his eyes again and quietly sensed along the causal line.

With my current strength, I should be able to explore that distance. Jiang Yuan thought to himself.

He then opened his eyes and looked at the stars still surrounding him, raising his hand and waving it.

The nine stars flew out like spheres that had been blasted away, heading in different directions.

After doing this, Jiang Yuan looked up.

Now it's time to Transcend the Tribulation!

After crossing the Nine Nine Heavenly Tribulations, my strength will increase, and the time it takes to investigate that star will be shorter.

But for now, there's no rush. I still need to wait for the Dean and Chanxi to finish their Six Nine Heavenly Tribulations.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan patiently waited for the tribulations of the two to end.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the clouds of tribulation above the heads of the two gradually dissipated, and there were no more heavenly tribulations falling.

"Dean, how is it?" Jiang Yuan appeared by Du Gu Bo's side.

Du Gu Bo nodded and said, "Very good! In excellent condition!"

"Then I will continue to recruit the Nine Nine Heavenly Arrogants for the Dean," Jiang Yuan said.

"Good!" Du Gu Bo's face showed a happy expression as he nodded heavily.

Immediately, Jiang Yuan's mind moved.

The calamity clouds above his head had not yet dissipated, and now they were quickly gathering again.

Countless thunderous serpents appeared in the sky.

The heavy black calamity clouds rolled in from the depths of the endless universe.

Compared to the Six Nine Heavenly Tribulation, the Nine Nine Heavenly Tribulation was more than a hundred times more powerful.

Within nearly a light-year, calamity clouds appeared everywhere.

With a flash of lightning, the surrounding area would be illuminated for dozens of light-years.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

"What a terrifying heavenly tribulation! No wonder people in ancient times were terrified of heavenly tribulations!"

Du Gu Bo looked at the anomaly above his head and also nodded in agreement.

"The stronger the strength, the stronger the heavenly tribulation!"

"If my cultivation reaches the Four Extremities realm, the heavenly tribulation will be much weaker than this."

"Now, the range affected by my Nine Nine Heavenly Tribulation is no less than that of a normal Saint Thunder Tribulation recorded in ancient books."

"But for me, it's just a piece of cake!"

After saying this, Du Gu Bo looked at Jiang Yuan with a hint of emotion.

"You can control the heavenly tribulation. This is truly an extraordinary method!"

"If it weren't for you, I might have been stuck here for the rest of my life!"

"Even if the heavenly tribulation reappears in the world, I still wouldn't be able to make up for the previous shortcomings!"

Jiang Yuan said, "Dean, you have helped me a lot before, and for me, it's just a small favor! It's what I should do as a student!"

Upon hearing this, Du Gu Bo was deeply moved.

"Taking you as my student is the wisest decision I have made in my life."

"I also believe that you will go further than me on the path of physical cultivation. Perhaps only in your hands can this path be fully developed!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Dean, I already have some ideas about the Sixth Realm of the Physical Body!"

Upon hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Du Gu Bo's eyes lit up instantly.

"Oh," he then showed excitement on his face and continued, "Tell me about it, let me see if it's feasible!"

Jiang Yuan said, "No rush, the ideas are not mature yet, and the requirements are quite high. It requires the Dean's Primordial Spirit to complete this ultimate leap."

"Perhaps when that moment comes, the Dean will naturally think of this step."

After saying this, Jiang Yuan looked up at the Thunder Tribulation that was already gathering momentum above his head.

Then he spoke again, "Dean, I will step back for now! Please don't be careless!"

"Go!" Du Gu Bo smiled faintly, "You don't need to worry about this calamity. The mere Nine Nine Heavenly Tribulation cannot break my Sacred Body!"

Jiang Yuan also nodded slightly, his figure moved, and he quickly retreated.

After a moment, he left the range covered by the calamity clouds.

Stopping at a distance of one light-year from Du Gu Bo, Jiang Yuan quietly looked ahead.

At this time, Ye Chanxi also slowly approached Jiang Yuan.

"Such a powerful Nine Nine Heavenly Tribulation!" Ye Chanxi's eyes also showed a surprised expression.

Jiang Yuan did not turn around, his tone filled with seriousness: "It is indeed terrifying! The Thunder Tribulation covers an area of one light-year in all directions. Can you withstand such a Thunder Tribulation?"

Ye Chanxi replied: "The Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is not a problem. After all, my strength is much weaker than that of the Saint Emperor! The momentum of my Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is not as vast as this!"

"It shouldn't be a problem to get through it!"

"But the Saint Tribulation is hard to say! I don't know how powerful it will be!"

Just at this moment...

Crack--

A loud noise tore through the starry sky.

Within a radius of several light-years, everything was illuminated by this heavenly tribulation, turning it into a blazing white.

Jiang Yuan suddenly saw the void shatter, and the direction where Dugu Bo was located turned into nothingness, and the terrifying thunder light instantly annihilated him.

At the same time, the heavenly tribulation that shrouded above slowly descended, and its aura became even heavier.

Within the range covered by the tribulation clouds, thunderbolts as thick as pillars constantly tore through the deep space of the universe.

Wherever the tribulation clouds fell, the void was directly split into nothingness, and spatial storms circulated in this area.

After one tribulation cloud fell, another heavenly tribulation began to brew in the sky.

But even so, just the aftermath of the heavenly tribulation caused Dugu Bo's figure to be submerged in the vast sea of thunder.

Jiang Yuan slowly withdrew his gaze and said to Ye Chanxi: "How about it, do you still want to cross the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation?"

Ye Chanxi nodded heavily: "No problem, no matter how strong the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is, it will be much weaker due to the difference in my cultivation level."

"With my current cultivation level, it is much simpler than when I was in the Four Extremities Realm. I can definitely get through it!"

Jiang Yuan nodded: "That's true!"

Then he asked, "Are you ready now?"

"Yes!" Ye Chanxi nodded slightly, "Of course!"

Jiang Yuan's mind moved slightly upon hearing this.

Boom--

The sound of thunder rolled.

Endless tribulation clouds appeared in the universe, gathering madly above the heads of the two.

Jiang Yuan silently watched the scale of the tribulation clouds above his head.

After a moment...

Jiang Yuan looked at the size of the area covered by the tribulation clouds above his head, which was only about thirty to forty percent of Dugu Bo's Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"It seems that there shouldn't be a problem!"

Ye Chanxi also nodded and said, "Judging from this scale, there shouldn't be any problem! My Saint Tribulation might be equivalent to the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation of the current Saint Emperor!"

"For me, the threat of the Saint Tribulation might not be that great, not dangerous."

Jiang Yuan understood Ye Chanxi's meaning immediately upon hearing this.

Now that Ye Chanxi has reached the peak of the Grotto-Heaven Realm, the next step is to achieve sainthood!

She probably wants to cross the Saint Tribulation and achieve sainthood, so that the Saint Dao Fruit she condenses will become even stronger.

Then Jiang Yuan spoke, "Let's talk about this after you cross the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. If you are very confident, I will let you cross the Saint Tribulation once and then achieve sainthood!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chanxi's face immediately showed a happy expression as she nodded.

Jiang Yuan said, "Prepare well and don't be careless!"

After saying that, he moved instantly and quickly retreated.
