Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

"The third level! It's actually the third level!"

"Tsk tsk... Less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Luan Tian and Du Chengwu have already reached the third level! If nothing unexpected happens, the successor of the trading company should be born among these two!"

"Yes... Judging from their appearance, it seems like they still have a lot of energy left. It's not surprising that they already have the strength to break into the top fifty of the Sun Ranking. The reason they haven't made it onto the list is probably because they have been in seclusion during this period."

"That's very possible. The third level is full of Soul Formation level 'Divine Officials'. If they didn't have the power to fight back in the Return to Void realm, they wouldn't be able to handle the siege of so many 'Divine Officials' so easily and still have energy left!"

...

Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Ji Boying couldn't help but fix his gaze on the mirror-like illusion where Du Chengwu was.

In the midst of being surrounded by hundreds or even thousands of golden-armored cultivators, there was a young man in a yellow robe who was slender and thin, with a cold and stern face, and sharp eyebrows and eyes. At this moment, he was happily punching and playing with his companions.

Hmm...

Du Chengwu's figure and appearance were slightly different from ordinary body cultivators.

Most body cultivators were burly and muscular, with a strong and robust appearance. After all, it was understandable that their bodies were refined and strengthened. Just like Ji Boying now...

Although he appeared to be a gentle and refined scholar on the surface, once he took off his clothes, the lines of his muscles were still very prominent. Even his abdominal muscles, which had already reached the Ninth Unified Harmony in his previous life, were now divided into eight parts. As for his arms... they were equally strong and robust. Just the visual impact alone made people involuntarily feel the destructive power contained within.

"I wonder what he looks like without his clothes..."

Ji Boying murmured softly, but soon shook his head vigorously.

How could he be curious about a man's physique?

Such thoughts were not appropriate at all!

Dispelling all the miscellaneous thoughts in his mind, Ji Boying looked towards the mirror-like illusion where Luan Tian was...

Unlike the simple and crude, punch-to-flesh, visually impactful display on Du Chengwu's side, Luan Tian's side could be described as pleasing to the eye.

Although he was surrounded by hundreds of golden-armored cultivators, none of them could approach within ten zhang of him.

On the other hand, Luan Tian stood with one hand behind his back, his right hand slightly pinching a seal, manipulating strands of five-colored silk threads that constantly coiled and hovered around him.

Whenever a golden-armored cultivator approached, they would be killed on the spot.

Ji Boying was amazed by what he saw.

He rubbed his chin slightly and compared the five mirror-like illusions, whispering softly:

"Comparing them like this... Li Pu, Su Ling, and that Thunder Cultivator Nie Ming, the difference is more than just a little bit."

In the Eastern Azure Profound Continent...

Outside the west gate of the Azure Dragon Immortal City, on an inconspicuous mountain peak.

As a spiritual light soared into the sky, concentric circles of runes suddenly bloomed from within the mountain peak, directly covering an area of thousands of miles, enveloping the entire Azure Dragon Immortal City.

At this moment...

In the void outside the mountain peak, two ripples of different colors, one green and one scarlet, spread out.

Only to see the Heavenly Sovereign and the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Temple walking out from within. The two of them only exchanged a glance before directly flying towards different directions of the mountain peak. They stopped their figures and hovered in the void when they reached the edge of the massive array.

Dang!

A sound like a resounding bell slowly spread out.

Only to see two beams of light, one green and one red, suddenly appearing in the sky and colliding with each other on the magnificent array.

The radiance that spread out was like a sea of stars, constantly falling onto the array.

"Step back!"

A powerful and vigorous voice came from within the mountain peak.

The two five-continent powerhouses didn't hesitate at all and retreated explosively outside the array.

And it was at this moment.

A sudden change occurred between heaven and earth.

The array that spread for thousands of miles collapsed with a loud bang, and the green and red beams of light that collided in the sky also disintegrated in an instant.

Not only that, even the originally clear sky, which stretched for thousands of miles, gradually began to darken. In less than fifteen minutes, it had already become as dark as night, with stars filling the sky.

In a certain void world.

An old man sitting cross-legged on a mirror-like lake slowly raised his withered right hand.

Immediately, a snow-white light emerged from his fingertips.

Snap!

As the snow-white light fell, a crisp collision sound slowly spread.

The smooth and mirror-like surface of the lake, which had been calm all along, finally rippled. Not only that, but nineteen bright lines also emerged, crisscrossing the surface...

In this way, the vast lake turned into a huge chessboard.

However, on the chessboard, there was only the white piece from the old man's previous move. On the other hand, the black pieces had already been placed, occupying three corner positions and... the central Tianyuan position!

"To actually let four pieces go!"

Outside the formation, a figure dressed in green robes, the Wan Dao Divine Lord, looked at the chessboard in the sky. A hint of anxiety gradually appeared on his fair and beautiful face.

At the same time, on the other side of the formation, the Lord of the Demon Temple, who was also gazing at the chessboard, had a calm face that gradually became solemn and profound.

Who would have thought that it would be so difficult to find the whereabouts of the Qinghua Divine Lord?

I thought that even if the other party concealed their celestial calculations, they would at most let three pieces go, but I never expected...

The final result turned out to be four pieces!

If it were Elder Qi in his prime, he might still have some hope. After all, when Elder Qi concealed the celestial calculations for the Heavenly Sovereign, he let four pieces go and ultimately won against the Heavenly Dao by a narrow margin.

But that move had already harmed the old man fundamentally. Not only did his cultivation realm fall from the peak of the Return to Void Realm to the Soul Formation Realm, but he also suffered a backlash from the Heavenly Dao. As long as he peered into the celestial calculations, he would not only endure the torment of his physical body and divine soul, but also consume his lifespan and vitality.

In severe cases...

It could even lead to immediate death!

After hesitating for a moment, the Lord of the Demon Temple slightly bowed towards the direction of the mountain peak and apologized, saying softly,

"Elder Qi, please..."

"It's alright."

Before the Lord of the Demon Temple could finish speaking, an old voice came from within the mountain peak.

"I have been recuperating for three thousand years. Although my physical cultivation realm has stagnated, my divine soul has already stepped into the Unity Realm with half a foot."

"You two just need to maintain the formation."

"When the game reaches the middle stage, I will abandon my physical body and completely step into the Unity Realm with my divine soul, integrating with the Five Continents Galaxy!"

"The Five Continents Galaxy of Dao Integration?"

The Wan Dao Divine Lord's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice,

"This is a dead end!"

"My path has already been cut off three thousand years ago, hasn't it?"

The old man's voice from within the mountain peak carried a hint of self-mockery, but also determination.

Snap!

As the words fell, the fifth black piece had already appeared on the chessboard, with the white piece below in a three-three formation. With the advantage in hand, it was clear that the Heavenly Dao intended to strike a blow at the drowning dog!

The old man's expression remained unchanged, but a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He slowly raised his right hand, and the snow-white light reappeared, then gently tapped.

Snap!

Once again, the crisp sound of a chess piece hitting the chessboard spread.

Surprisingly, the old man didn't defend but counterattacked. He placed his piece on the black piece in the diagonal three-three position!

Outside the chessboard.

The Wan Dao Divine Lord's fair fingers, hidden in his sleeve, couldn't help but clench tightly.

With this move...

The old man was willing to exchange his life for another!

However...

Could he really exchange his life with the Heavenly Dao?

Heaven above, the Great Dao towering, all things are nothing more than insignificant weeds and straws. In the face of the Heavenly Dao, they are simply not worth mentioning.

By doing this, even if he achieved Dao Integration with the Five Continents Galaxy, it would be no different from seeking death!

Is it really worth it for a Qinghua Divine Lord?
