Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Chapter 343: Chapter 229: The Final Spoils of War, Secrets of the Galaxy! (Additional Chapter 19/53 for the Silver Alliance)
In the courtyard.

Jiang Yuan raised his hand to beckon, and the seventh item flew into his hand.

It was a white jade sign.

Jiang Yuan saw this object after killing Wang Xiao, and his gaze was immediately drawn to this white jade sign.

His intuition was telling him that this item was unusual.

So at that time, he took it.

Now, as the white jade sign came to his hand, he flipped it over and over again, carefully scrutinising it, but could not find anything special.

“Forget it, I’ll just store it away for now!”

Jiang Yuan casually said, storing the item in his bag.

Then, he beckoned once more, and the last spoils of war, the eighth item, flew into his hand.

It was a piece of metal.

A piece of metal that was half the size of a fist.

It was cold to the touch. Jiang Yuan examined it closely and recognized what type of metal it was.

Galaxy Secret Essence.

The metal was completely dark, covered with countless twinkling stars, as if decorated with a galaxy. This was the origin of its name.

The Galaxy Secret Essence was one of the divine materials for forging weapons and could be used to cast Daoist weapons.

The Daoist weapons cast from it could harness the infinite power of the stars.

After recognizing this item, Jiang Yuan’s face showed delight. This item was of extreme value and priceless.

If one were to talk about its value, it would be comparable to a complete mid-grade spiritual treasure.

However, in reality, it could not be compared to a mid-grade spiritual treasure.

Because, to obtain Galaxy Secret Essence, even if one had enough spiritual stones, it would be difficult to buy.

This was because Galaxy Secret Essence was extremely rare, super rare!

But mid-grade spiritual treasures were not the same. As long as you have enough spiritual stones, you can easily buy them.

Looking at the Galaxy Secret Essence in his hand, Jiang Yuan did not intend to sell it. That would be a waste.

He called out to Shu Xiaoxiao in the courtyard and she instantly appeared in front of Jiang Yuan.

“Young Master!”

“Take this Galaxy Secret Essence and integrate it into your life sword.”

Jiang Yuan tossed the Galaxy Secret Essence to Shu Xiaoxiao.

She quickly caught it and gave a radiant smile, “Thank you, Young Master! Do you have any other instructions?”

Jiang Yuan shook his head.

“Then I will not disturb the Young Master any longer and take my leave.”

Seeing Jiang Yuan nod, she promptly left the small courtyard.

Jiang Yuan checked his gains, one by one.

The inferior spiritual treasure, the Soul-capturing Bell. When using this spiritual treasure, one could cause the opponent’s mind to separate, and become befuddled and lose the power to resist.

The inferior spiritual treasure, the Soul Suppressing Pagoda. This is a primordial spirit treasure which can protect against all attacks of primordial spirit secret techniques, and provides protection to the primordial spirit. Its value is not lower than an ordinary mid-grade spiritual treasure.

These two items are useful to him.

The rest are items he intends to sell.

The magic treasure, the Ten Thousand Spirit Cauldron with nine levels of prohibition, which can refine all living beings. Whether it’s humans or demons, it can be refined into a great pill.

The inferior spiritual treasure, the Thousand Soul Banner. For evildoers, this spiritual treasure is far superior to other inferior spiritual treasures because it can grow into a mid-grade spiritual treasure. As long as more divine souls are devoured, upon reaching nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine divine souls, it becomes a mid-grade spiritual treasure.

The Heaven-level technique, White Bone True Body. This allows one to cultivate a White Bone True Body, shedding the flesh and blood, becoming a White Bone True Body, and even congealing White Bone Dharma-nature.

Besides these, there was also an unknown jade sign and a piece of Galaxy Secret Essence.

After carefully counting his gains from this time, Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but feel emotional.

“Sure enough, one gets rich from killing and arson! Great cultivation in the Dharma Realm is indeed extremely wealthy!”

Then he thought of the Sunset Sect. After the Sect Leader’s attack on the Sunset Sect.

That would be another large sum of resources coming in.

He would be able to claim five tenths of those resources.

However, compared to his current gains, those five tenths differed greatly in value.

A great cultivator in the Dharma Realm, one person was equivalent to an entire sect, and their wealth even surpassed that of an ordinary sect.

After all, they could live for six hundred years and their personal power was by no means comparable to those in the Divine Bridge Realm.

The wealth they accumulated was also different.

The Supreme Mystery Sect, all previous wealth accumulated probably amounted to just about two to three million lower-grade spiritual stones.

But any low-grade spiritual treasure was worth more than a million lower-grade spiritual stones.

For a sect like the Sunset Sect, the wealth it accumulated was perhaps only equivalent to a mid-grade spiritual treasure.

This was understandable. After all, a sect has a big business and needs to support so many disciples and elders.

Even just giving out salaries is a huge fortune.

How much wealth could be left for accumulation?

But those who were great cultivators in the Dharma Realm were different.

They could easily accumulate a large amount of wealth. In the span of six hundred years, the wealth they accumulated easily surpassed that of a regular sect.

After finishing counting his gains, Jiang Yuan did not waste any more time and started to refine the remaining essence of the thousand-year-old great medicine in his body.

Breaking through to the Dharma Realm as soon as possible was his only thought at the moment.

Because time was urgent, the earlier he broke through to the Dharma Realm, the safer he would be.

Regardless of what Zhou Wei had said before, it would be secure for a year.

Because the Human King would not break his plan of more than a hundred years just because of Jiang Yuan.

But Jiang Yuan was not completely at ease.

Who knew what the Human King was thinking?

Nothing was certain, let alone guessing what others were thinking.

As Jiang Yuan began to refine the essence of the thousand-year-old great medicine in his abdomen, the original greenery in the courtyard turned into ashes in the rolling heat wave, dispersing with the wind.

Jiang Yuan transported his qi and blood, turning his body into a furnace, continuously refining the medicinal power within his body.

His cultivation level was slowly increasing, steadily advancing towards the nine levels of the Divine Bridge Realm.

…

Hegemonic Blade Sect.

A middle-aged man wearing a short robe saw the shattered tablet in front of him, and he could no longer suppress the horror in his eyes.

“Impossible!”

“This is impossible!!”

“How could this happen!!!”

He was filled with disbelief.

Three Dharma Realm level cultivators had joined forces to visit, which was showing utmost importance. This was also their greatest power they could currently muster.

He never expected that three Dharma Realm level cultivators, including two who were at the Third Dharma Realm and one who was at the Fourth Dharma Realm, could have such an accident.

His junior brother, Wang Xiao, had unexpectedly perished. His life and death inheritance was gone.

What sort of place was the Supreme Mystery Sect, that such an accident could occur?

He was momentarily lost in a daze.

After a long while, his expression changed.

He pulled out the Communication Jade Charm in his hand.

This was given to him by the Human King’s envoy before he left the Imperial Palace.

And the Human King had left him a message.

The Human King highly regarded him and hoped that the Hegemonic Blade Sect could join the Qianyuan Imperial Family.

The Qian Yuan Imperial Family will always keep their doors open to the Hegemonic Blade Sect.

If they join, the Human King can even assist them in attempting to break through to the Dharma Realm.

He held the Communication Jade Charm in his hand, with his eyes constantly changing expressions.

Could it be that my junior, Wang Xiao, fell at the hands of those two evil Dharma-natured cultivators of Yin and Yang?

Does he want to use this to force me into joining the Qian Yuan Imperial Family, to become one of their pawns?

The face of the Sect Leader of the Hegemonic Blade Sect became very unpleasant at this moment.

With the fall of Wang Xiao, the Hegemonic Blade Sect had lost their greatest support.

The once tyrannical behavior of the Hegemonic Blade Sect was bound to face retaliation!

Apart from Wang Xiao, a cultivator of the Dharma Realm, the foundation of the Hegemonic Blade Sect is shallow, far inferior to the Supreme Mystery Sect or the Sunset Sect, sects that are top-notch.

In the current situation, if the Hegemonic Blade Sect wants to survive, it seems that their only choice is to rely on the Qian Yuan Imperial Family.

Even if their own junior, Wang Xiao, didn’t fall into the hands of those two demoniac cultivators.

But fell into the hands of the Supreme Mystery Sect instead.

Then, having lost the reliance of Wang Xiao, a great cultivator of the Dharma Realm, and at the same time, offending Jiang Yuan, a heaven genius.

Their only choice is to join the Qian Yuan Imperial Family, seeking their protection to continue the lineage of the sect.

The middle-aged man hesitated for a long while, then heaved a long sigh.

“This is the only choice before me!”

He picked up the Communication Jade Charm in his hand, sent a message out, which was met with silence.

After a long while, he sent a few more messages, but all were met with the silence of the sea.

“Forget it, I’ll take a trip to the Capital!”

…

The Capital.

The Qian Yuan Imperial Family.

Two informants knelt on the ground trembling.

Because the Human King sitting on the dragon chair at this moment had a solemn face.

“Repeat what you just said, I didn’t hear clearly!”

“Re…Reporting to the Human King! The lifelines of the two ritual officers have…have shattered!”

After saying this, they didn’t dare to lift their heads and just lay low.

At this moment, not even a breath could be heard in the study.

“When did the news come?” asked the Human King blandly.

“Three…three hours ago!”

Hu–

The Human King exhaled lightly, “So, you’re saying that three hours ago, my two ritual officers perished?”

“Ye…Yes!”

Boom–

The Human King suddenly struck out with a palm, and the man responding immediately exploded into a mist of blood.

“I didn’t ask you to answer!”

The other person began to tremble even more.

Even though he’s already transcendent, at this moment, he felt as if he was no different from a mortal, clamping his legs together in fear.

“You, go and invite the King of Divine Power back to the Capital!”

“Yes!”

It wasn’t until this person left the study and came to the courtyard and felt a gust of wind.

That he realized that he was completely soaked.

Under the caress of the breeze, he couldn’t help but shiver.

Then he hurriedly dashed towards the mansion where the King of Divine Power resided, outside the Capital.

…

Half an hour later.

The King of Divine Power strode into the Imperial Study Room.

“Greetings, King!” Zhou Wei greeted respectfully.

“There’s no need for such formality between us!”

The Human King waved his hand.

“Yes!” Zhou Wei respectfully replied.

And then he still showed full respect to the Human King.

“Oh, you… you…”

The Human King’s face was full of helplessness.

Then he said, “Did you hear about the fall of the two ritual officers?”

“Just found out!”

“What’s your opinion?”

“If it were up to me, if I hadn’t gone into seclusion earlier and gone with them, we might not have ended up like this!”

The Human King waved his hand, “There’s no need to say these things. It might be a good thing that you didn’t go. If you had, you might have fallen as well.”

“Out in the wild, the qi movement of the dynasty is not apparent. Even if you have the qi movement of the dynasty backing you, you can’t be much stronger!”

“If something were to happen to you, that would be the real loss!”

“Ritual officers are outsiders, you are my flesh and blood brother!”

Zhou Wei showed a slight touch of emotion.

“Big Brother!”

“Heh!”

A smile immediately appeared on the Human King’s face.

“What do you think we should do with the Supreme Mystery Sect?”

Zhou Wei pondered for a long while before slowly speaking.

“The situation is still unclear, it would be best not to act rashly!”

“Mt. Heavenly Sword is not far from the Supreme Mystery Sect! If we take drastic actions, it’s not good if the Sect Leader of Mt. Heavenly Sword makes a move and causes an uproar among the various immortal Sects.”

“A year from now, the King will possess sufficient strength to settle everything. That is the best time.”

“However strong Jiang Yuan may be, he is only in the Divine Bridge Realm!”

“With the bottleneck of the primordial spirit in the way, even if he is monstrously talented, it will take him three to five years to give birth to a primordial spirit. And this is an exaggerated statement!”

“Even a year from now, if he maintains his previous breakthrough speed, he can only at most reach the ninth level of the Divine Bridge Realm!”

“Besides, after the Pearl Cave, where can he find so many cultivation resources?”

“Without sufficient cultivation resources, it’s impossible for him to maintain his previous breakthrough pace, a year from now, most likely he’ll only be at the stage of the sixth or seventh level of the Divine Bridge Realm!”

“This is already an overestimation!”

Listening to Zhou Wei’s thorough analysis, the Human King also slowly nodded.

“You’re right, the King will endure temporarily for a year, a year from now I will personally avenge my two princes!”

Zhou Wei knelt on one knee and said, “My King, it was my fault that caused the incident with the two princes. Please punish me!”

The Human King reached out and grabbed his wrist.

“Stand up, there’s no need to be like this in front of me!”

“Please punish me, Human King!” Zhou Wei’s tone was firm.

“Alright! If that’s the case, I’ll punish you to house arrest for ten months!”

“Big Brother!”

Zhou Wei looked up at the Human King, with a touch of emotion in his eyes.

“Aren’t you going to accept the punishment?”

“Yes, Zhou Wei accepts the punishment!”

After Zhou Wei left the palace, he looked back at the palace and then slowly exhaled.

Then he took off into the sky, heading towards his own mansion outside the Capital.
