Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

On the dark blue sea, with a gloomy rolling sound, wave after wave crashed onto the edge of the island's reefs, creating piles of snow-white foam.

Buzz—

At this moment, ripples appeared in a deep canyon on the island.

A ragged man with a bare golden upper body stepped out from it.

At the same time...

On the other side, almost at the same time, a young man wearing a flowing white robe, with a cold and elegant face, stepped out from the ripples.

The two men looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise on each other's faces.

But soon, their gazes returned to normal almost at the same time.

Although the two had not fought, they knew that the other's strength was not much different from their own, so this result was expected.

Moreover...

From the beginning, neither of them had thought of determining the winner on the battlefield of Lutian.

The battlefield of Lutian was just a secret realm left by the Heavenly Sovereign. Although it greatly restored the situation when the Heavenly Clan descended, it was still just a secret realm. The powerful beings inside were all dead.

The real battlefield was ever-changing, and a single thought could lead to completely different developments.

Therefore...

To truly determine the winner, they could only wait for the one-on-one battle in the third round of assessment!

As for the other three?

One was Lei Xiu, who had not grown up yet and had already reached a dead end.

One had talent, but his heart and spiritual roots were equally chaotic. He even needed to sacrifice his own lifespan and vitality to obtain the principles of swordsmanship. He was a fallen sword cultivator.

As for the last one...

Although he also had an Innate Dao body and a pure heart, he pursued a path of talismans that was fundamentally unsuitable for direct combat.

These three, no matter who they were, were far behind the two of them who had pure hearts, pursued killing to prove the Dao, and cultivated war through battles.

As their thoughts turned, Luan Tian and Du Chengwu had already arrived at the exit of the canyon.

However, just as they were about to leave the canyon, both of them suddenly stopped at the same time. Then their entire bodies stiffened as if they had been petrified in place.

Not far away, two figures, one purple and one white, stood on the splashing reef.

One was the Lord of Heavenly Thunder.

The other...

Was Su Ling!

He also possessed an Innate Dao body and a pure heart, but he was not good at fighting... he was a talisman cultivator!

After the first round of assessment, there was a half-month rest period.

Ji Boying originally wanted to take this time to consult Su Ling about some problems he encountered in talismans, but...

Considering that Su Ling still had to undergo subsequent assessments, this rest period was crucial.

In the end, Ji Boying simply sent a brief message to congratulate Su Ling and did not disturb him further.

As for his good friend Li Pu, although he only got fourth place, his sword strike was so amazing that Ji Boying couldn't help but envy and admire him.

So...

Ji Boying first boasted to him about how amazing that sword strike was, and then unabashedly asked him a bunch of questions about swordsmanship.

Hmm.

This is the kind of mutually helpful and harmonious relationship that brothers should have!

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The competition among the successors officially entered the second round.

However...

The second round was the Bureau of Self-Examination, mainly assessing the five successors' hearts.

Therefore...

The main hall did not set up a Mirror Flower Water Moon to live broadcast their dynamics in the assessment.

The Bureau of Self-Examination lasted for one year.

During this period, for whatever reason, if a successor withdrew from the assessment in advance, it would be considered a failure, and they would not have the qualification to enter the third round of assessment.

However, as the future successors of the trading firm, the five of them naturally have a temperament far beyond ordinary people.

If nothing unexpected happens, this level will not be too difficult for them, and they will eventually pass it smoothly.

Because the assessment will last for a year, and there will be no live broadcasts during this period.

So...

During this time, Ji Boying has focused all his attention on climbing the rankings and managing the gradually thriving stores.

Under the blue sky, a magnificent and elegant church stands amidst the surging sea of clouds.

Accompanied by the blazing sun rising at the top of the church tower, layers of strange light and shadow cascade down, not only giving this magnificent church a layer of noble golden color, but also adding to it the solemnity and nobility unique to ancient religions!

The entire church is built of giant white stones, not only giving people an indestructible visual impact, but also a sense of sacredness and solemnity deep in their souls.

Hoo...

Suddenly, a gust of wind blows.

A golden figure rushes from a distance, tearing open a terrifying crack in the calm sea of clouds, until it comes to a halt in front of the giant archway of the church, which is several zhang high.

It is a middle-aged man wearing golden armor and carrying wings on his back.

He glanced at the giant archway made of heavy wood and exquisite carvings in front of him, then took out a token from his chest and lightly pressed it on the giant rune in the center of the door.

Only when a faint halo spread from the token did the heavy door slowly open.

What came into view was a tall and spacious central hall, with a high ceiling supported by huge stone pillars and white arches. In the center was a circular dome, on which various religious-themed murals and carvings were engraved.

The various candles embellishing the hall above added a mysterious and sacred atmosphere to these patterns.

The man in golden armor quickly passed through the central hall, bypassed the central electric field, and finally stopped behind a giant statue wearing a crown on its head, holding a huge sword, and wearing scale armor.

With his left hand diagonally placed on his chest, he bowed deeply and said loudly:

"West Hall Left Monitor - Morton, pays respects to the Bishop!"

"No need for formalities."

A mechanical voice resonated in the hall.

Then, above the back hall, a person wearing a black cloak, a snow-white long scarf hanging around his neck, and a golden sun mask slowly stood up.

"The West Sea barrier has loosened?"

"The Bishop is truly omniscient. The West Sea barrier has indeed loosened!"

The man in golden armor replied softly.

"Hmm..."

The Bishop nodded slightly and said in a solemn voice:

"It has been three thousand years..."

"The plane under the West Sea barrier should also be reclaimed!"

"Send my decree to notify the monitors of the West Sea. Starting today, they must immediately prepare for the sacrifice of the Blood Spirits."

"Within three years, I want to see at least three altars with the sacrifice of the Blood Spirits!"

"Yes!"

Bai Xiaoge.

The information trading center open to the outside world by the Qianji Sect, and also the most representative landmark building in Tianzhao City among the twenty-one main cities!

Although the Qianji Sect is not the top force in Zhongzhou, it is the largest intelligence gathering center in Zhongzhou! It is known to know everything within the five continents.

It is precisely because of this that the Qianji Sect is the only force that has survived with almost zero casualties and losses on the battlefield between righteousness and evil, and based on this, it has occupied the Tianzhao City among the twenty-one main cities of Mingzhu Island!

Bai Xiaoge, the lobby on the first floor...

As usual, it is still bustling.

Various cultivators who come to buy and sell information are crowded together, coming and going in an endless stream.

Zhao Chengji stood on the edge of the congested corridor, holding onto the railing with both hands, leaning over, constantly scanning the bustling lobby.

Until...

In the dense crowd, a thin old man with a goatee, a slender face, and long crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, kept waving at him.

Zhao Chengji suppressed his impatience and walked through the dense crowd to the front of the thin old man.

"Manager Zhao."

The old man lightly stroked his goatee, squinted his eyes, and said with a smile:

"The information you wanted has been obtained!"
