Longevity: Start From The Entry Of Luck

Chapter 453: Harvesting the Taibai Divine Iron, the Soaring Devouring Great Dao!

Looking at the chat information recorded in the Holy Academy token.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but smile: "So Senior Brother Quqing has been silently peeping at the screen!"

Quqing smiled: "Staying in the Holy Academy alone is boring, so I naturally look around when I have nothing to do! Now that Junior Brother is silent, it's a bit less fun."

"I found it particularly interesting to see the shocks that Junior Brother has repeatedly given to his junior brothers and sisters before."

Jiang Yuan smiled: "It seems that Senior Brother Qu is a bit bored here. Have you considered going out for a walk?"

Quqing shook his head slightly: "Forget it! I don't want to go out for now. It's nice to stay in the Holy Academy!"

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan didn't say much, and then raised his cup slightly.

"I toast Senior Brother!"

The two of them had a good drink, and by the time Jiang Yuan walked out of this small courtyard, it was already sunset.

Jiang Yuan shook his head slightly, dispelling the alcohol in his mind.

Then he walked towards the corner where Guye Lie was.

After a while.

Dang dang dang--

The familiar sound of blacksmithing once again entered Jiang Yuan's ears.

Hearing this rhythmic sound of blacksmithing, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but smile.

Every time he came here, whether it was day or night, he could hear the same rhythmic sound of blacksmithing from Senior Brother Guye Lie.

It can be seen that Senior Brother Guye Lie is truly passionate about forging.

Jiang Yuan walked straight towards the direction where Guye Lie was.

After a while.

"Senior Brother Guye!"

Jiang Yuan looked at the man in front of him, with a muscular body and a bronze complexion, and spoke slowly.

"Junior Brother, please wait a moment!"

Guye Lie's deep voice instantly covered the sound of blacksmithing and clearly reached Jiang Yuan's ears.

"Okay! I'm not in a hurry! Senior Brother, please continue!"

Jiang Yuan spoke again, with a smile on his lips.

At the same time, his mind moved slightly, and the golden aura on Guye Lie's body was instantly harvested by him.

At this moment, Guye Lie's speed of swinging the giant hammer also became faster and faster.

Every time the hammer fell, it sounded like thunderous roars in Jiang Yuan's ears.

In an instant, the loud noises turned into continuous thunderous roars.

After a cup of tea's time.

Guye Lie stopped swinging the giant hammer.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around and looked at Jiang Yuan, then grinned.

"Junior Brother, why do you have time to come and see me today!"

Jiang Yuan smiled: "I came back to the Holy Academy with the Dean during the day, so I came to see Senior Brother and have a drink."

As he spoke, Jiang Yuan appeared with a jug of wine in his hand and threw it to Guye Lie.

Guye Lie opened the jug and took a sniff at the mouth of the jug.

Jiang Yuan said, "Senior Brother doesn't need to smell it. This is the true strong liquor of the Northern Desert!"

Guye Lie took a deep breath at the mouth of the jug, and his face was immediately filled with a look of intoxication.

"It really is strong liquor!"

"And it's the strong liquor from the Northern Wasteland!"

He then looked at Jiang Yuan with a hearty laugh, "It's good to have a junior brother who understands me!"

"Come, senior brother will toast junior brother here, wishing junior brother an early ascent to the Great Dao!"

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly, "Thank you for your auspicious words, senior brother!"

As he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan also raised the wine jug and gestured for a toast, then drank it in one gulp.

"Junior brother is really straightforward!"

Gongye Lie praised.

He also drank it in big gulps, some of the wine splashed onto his chest, and for a moment, the fragrance of wine filled the air.

"Good wine!"

After finishing the drink, Gongye Lie immediately exclaimed.

"Burp—"

Then, with the surge of alcohol, he let out a long burp.

"Junior brother, you have a good tolerance for alcohol!"

Gongye Lie saw that Jiang Yuan remained unfazed even after drinking so much, and immediately praised him.

Jiang Yuan smiled and didn't say much.

With his current physical body, his alcohol tolerance was naturally not bad!

Moreover, these drinks were instantly swallowed and assimilated, so how could they have any effect on him?

After a while, the two sat under a tree, and the wine gradually reached the bottom.

The setting sun also gradually fell behind the mountains.

"Junior brother, what realm have you reached now?"

Gongye Lie suddenly spoke up.

"Why are you suddenly asking about this, senior brother?"

Jiang Yuan asked.

Gongye Lie then continued, "Senior brother has recently crafted several excellent divine weapons. Let's see what realm you have reached. If you can reach a certain level, I will give them to you."

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Yuan said, "Grotto-Heaven!"

"Junior brother's breakthrough was so fast?"

Gongye Lie was somewhat surprised, then nodded slowly, "That's right. In the battle of the two clans' alliance, junior brother had already reached the limit of the Four Extremities realm."

"Now, several months have passed since the battle of the two clans' alliance. With junior brother's progress, it is reasonable to open up the Grotto-Heaven world and break through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm."

Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded at the words.

At this moment, Gongye Lie looked at Jiang Yuan with curiosity again, "Junior brother, can you show me your aura? Since you have broken through to the Grotto-Heaven, senior brother should also give you some congratulatory gifts."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan's mouth curved into a smile, "Senior brother really wants me to show my aura?"

Gongye Lie nodded, "Of course! I am also quite curious about junior brother's cultivation. Let junior brother satisfy my curiosity!"

As he said this, Gongye Lie's eyes revealed a reminiscing look.

"I still remember the first time I saw junior brother. At that time, junior brother had just entered the Law Manifestation Realm."

"In such a short period of time, junior brother's cultivation has far surpassed mine."

"Grotto-Heaven Realm! This is a realm that I will never be able to reach in my lifetime."

When he said the last sentence, an endless sense of emotion appeared in his eyes.

Jiang Yuan smiled, and the aura of the nine levels of the Grotto-Heaven Realm instantly revealed itself.

A tremendous pressure also spread out in all directions, and behind him, a vast Grotto-Heaven world faintly appeared.

"What level of Grotto-Heaven Realm is this?" Gongye Lie's pupils contracted, his voice filled with astonishment.

"Nine levels!" Jiang Yuan said calmly.

"Nine levels?" Gongye Lie widened his eyes, somewhat incredulous.

Jiang Yuan smiled, looked at Gongye Lie's eyes as big as bronze bells, and nodded slowly.

"Yes!"

As his words fell, Jiang Yuan's aura also converged into his body.

Gongye Lie's turbulent emotions gradually calmed down.

But his gaze at Jiang Yuan still held an expression of disbelief.

Then he smiled wryly, "It's really unfortunate to be born in the same era as Junior Brother! No matter how outstanding a genius is, they will probably only be overshadowed by Junior Brother in the end."

Speaking up to this point, a smile slowly appeared on his face, "Fortunately, I am not a genius! If Junior Brother can reach the pinnacle in the future, I, as his senior brother, will have face!"

Looking at the smile on Gongye Lie's face, Jiang Yuan was suddenly stunned.

He had only revealed his aura to satisfy his own mischievous curiosity and see Gongye Lie's reaction.

Besides the few closest people in the Mysterious Heaven Gate and Uncle Ma, the only place where he could feel an inexplicable sense of relaxation was with his senior brothers in the Holy Academy.

He could feel their deep care and protection, which was the concern of senior brothers for their junior brothers.

It was precisely because of this that Jiang Yuan felt a sense of relaxation when he was with his senior brothers.

Just like being with family, only with the closest people could one feel this inexplicable relaxation.

That's why he wanted to play a little joke on Gongye Lie and see his astonished expression.

Now Gongye Lie's reaction was completely beyond his expectations. In just a short moment, he calmly accepted this fact.

At this moment, Gongye Lie spoke again with a smile on his face.

"With your outstanding strength now, Senior Brother can't help you anymore!"

"The divine weapons I forged are not even worthy of Junior Brother's attention."

"But since Senior Brother just made a promise, when Junior Brother breaks through the Grotto-Heaven Realm, I should give you a congratulatory gift."

Jiang Yuan could sense a slight change in Gongye Lie's heart and immediately spoke.

"Senior Brother, there's no need to worry. I happen to be in need of a divine sword, so if Senior Brother can give me a sword-type spiritual weapon, I'll be very happy."

Gongye Lie shook his head slightly.

"The strongest divine sword I can forge is only a Middle Grade spiritual weapon, which doesn't match your current strength and identity."

"With your terrifying rate of progress, it won't be long before you become a dignified human Saint!"

Jiang Yuan said again, "That doesn't matter. As long as it's a gift from Senior Brother, I'll be very happy."

Gongye Lie heard this, glanced at Jiang Yuan, and jokingly scolded him.

"You brat, are you afraid of hurting my self-esteem?"

"Don't worry! I can still afford this gift now!"

"Since Senior Brother made a promise, I should give you a gift that matches your identity!"

"But when you achieve sainthood, Senior Brother won't have a suitable gift to give you!"

Jiang Yuan said, "That's alright!"

"Go on!" Gongye Lie spoke up.

In an instant, a white glowing object appeared in his hand, and he threw it towards Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan quickly raised his hand to catch it.

When he opened his hand and looked at it, he saw that the object in his hand was a piece of divine iron, as big as a fist.

This divine iron is filled with the brilliance of Geng Metal, and the entire divine iron is enveloped in a needle-like white light.

Gongye Lie said, "This piece of Tai Bai divine iron is one of the main materials for forging Dao weapons!"

"I obtained it by chance back then, and I originally planned to wait until I reached a higher level of my forging skills and entered the Grotto-Heaven Realm before personally forging it."

"But now, it won't be of use for a while, so I might as well give it to Junior Brother as a gift."

"With Junior Brother's strength, he will soon achieve enlightenment and become a saint!"

"Just as Junior Brother mentioned, you lack a divine weapon."

"This piece of Tai Bai divine iron possesses the Great Dao patterns of Geng Metal and the Great Dao patterns of swords. Junior Brother can use it to forge a Dao weapon."

Jiang Yuan immediately shook his head and said, "Senior Brother, using such a precious piece of divine iron as the main material is enough to forge a Low Grade Dao Sword. It's too valuable!"

Gongye Lie grinned and said, "What's so valuable about it? This thing has been sitting with me for who knows how many years, and I still have no use for it."

"With my talent, who knows when I'll be able to enter the Grotto-Heaven Realm!"

"If I keep it, this piece of Tai Bai divine iron will just gather dust, which would be a waste of a divine object."

"Giving it to Junior Brother is the most appropriate thing to do."

"Besides, with Junior Brother's progress, if I can break through the Grotto-Heaven Realm in my lifetime, by that time, Junior Brother might have already reached the peak."

"If that day really comes, Junior Brother will have to take care of me more."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan nodded calmly.

"No need for Senior Brother to say it, I would do the same!"

"This thing is indeed useful to me, so Junior Brother accepts it gratefully."

Gongye Lie smiled and said, "That's how it should be! Between you and me, there's no need to be so polite."

Jiang Yuan smiled and put the piece of Tai Bai divine iron into his bag.

As the Jade Rabbit slowly rose, Jiang Yuan bid farewell to Gongye Lie and left.

Walking in the Holy Academy, Jiang Yuan glanced at his own panel.

[luck power]: 81517 strands

Then he nodded in satisfaction and closed his panel.

After harvesting the luck power of two senior brothers and the young girl, the quantity of luck power increased by hundreds of strands, bringing him closer to the threshold of one hundred thousand strands.

After a while, Jiang Yuan arrived at the small courtyard of Du Gu Bo.

"Dean, I'm here!"

Stepping into the courtyard, he saw Du Gu Bo lying quietly on a recliner by the pond.

This time was different from before. Every time he came here, Du Gu Bo would be fishing. He had witnessed Du Gu Bo catching a white elephant from this pond before.

At that time, he couldn't understand it.

But now he had some understanding.

It should be Du Gu Bo's manipulation of time and space, fishing for Monster Race geniuses from thousands of miles away, even across different domains, and killing them directly.

This method was truly extraordinary.

Even though he was outstanding now and not inferior to many Saints, compared to Du Gu Bo at this moment, he was still far behind. Du Gu Bo had a better grasp of the Great Dao of Space and seemed to have mastered some aspects of the Great Dao of Time.

At the same time, his cultivation level was far above his own.

The gap between the two can be said to be extremely large.

At this moment, Dugu Bo heard Jiang Yuan's voice and opened his slightly closed eyes.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Have you met Qu Qing and Gong Ye Lie?"

Jiang Yuan nodded: "I have paid my respects!"

Dugu Bo nodded with a smile: "Alright, but let's not go to the Heavenly Origin Holy Land tonight. After all, it's late at night, and it's not good to disturb my old friend at this time!"

"Tomorrow morning, we will enter the gates of the Heavenly Origin Holy Land!"

Jiang Yuan clasped his hands and said: "Alright! I will take my leave first."

Dugu Bo nodded: "Go!"

Jiang Yuan then left the small courtyard.

After leaving the small courtyard where Dugu Bo was, Jiang Yuan suddenly looked up at the sky.

Above, the bright moon hung high, and the cold moonlight scattered like water, covering the earth with a thin veil.

"Now, where should I go?"

Jiang Yuan muttered to himself.

His gaze then looked at the Mysterious Heaven Gate in the distance.

"Forget it, let's not go back for now!"

Jiang Yuan shook his head again.

Although it wouldn't take him much time to return to the Mysterious Heaven Gate with his speed, he still had to go to the Heavenly Origin Holy Land tomorrow.

Returning to the Mysterious Heaven Gate was not appropriate.

Thinking of his little maid, Jiang Yuan felt a headache.

If his relationship with Ye Chanxi spread and reached her ears, it would probably cause him a headache.

After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Yuan rubbed his forehead.

"Forget it, let's not think about this matter anymore! Let's take it step by step!"

Jiang Yuan muttered to himself, then shook his head slightly, as if trying to completely shake off the images in his mind.

After a while, Jiang Yuan arrived at the dormitory building.

Seeing the dormitory buildings in front of him, Jiang Yuan felt a complex emotion.

This place was once the dream of the dean.

He dreamed that the Holy Academy could rival the Divine Academy, with three thousand students and bustling prosperity.

But now, the vast Holy Academy was so desolate.

Usually, only Senior Brother Qu Qing, Senior Brother Gong Ye Lie, and the dean stayed in this large Holy Academy.

Now, it was only because of the incarnation of Senior Brother Qu Qing's flesh and blood that the Holy Academy seemed somewhat lively.

But undoubtedly, it was still extremely desolate.

Jiang Yuan looked at the gradually dimming lights in the dormitory building not far away. These lights came from the incarnations of Senior Brother Qu Qing's flesh and blood.

Then he slowly withdrew his gaze.

With a movement of his figure, he appeared on the rooftop of the dormitory building.

The cold moonlight scattered from the night sky, falling like mercury.

The wind blowing from the roof carried a hint of autumn chill, with a touch of solemnity.

At this moment, the sacred courtyard was gradually covered in falling leaves.

"After achieving enlightenment, I haven't paid attention to the changes of the four seasons!" Jiang Yuan sat cross-legged on the roof, sighing softly.

Recalling the past, he felt a myriad of emotions in his heart.

Unknowingly, he had reached this stage, a scene he had never imagined in his heart.

His current strength was no different from the mythical immortals, and he even surpassed them.

His physical body could traverse the universe, crossing countless light-years in a single day.

This was a scene that was unimaginable in his previous life.

If this were in his previous life, he would have been satisfied long ago.

To enjoy eternal life and boundless power.

But in this world, he knew that this was far from enough!

He couldn't stop either.

His so-called strength now could at most be on par with a Saint.

Above the Saint, there was Supreme.

Above Supreme, there was True Immortal.

Above True Immortal, there was Immortal Venerable, and above that, there was the unfathomable Heavenly Venerable.

As for whether the legendary Heavenly Emperor surpassed the level of Heavenly Venerable, he did not know.

The existence of that seemingly immortal being was probably on his way back, and he did not know his true strength.

The more he understood, the more Jiang Yuan felt the horror of this world.

Crisis was everywhere.

His current strength seemed powerful, but in front of that supreme existence, he might be no different from an ant.

Fortunately, the current environment of heaven and earth was different.

The connection between the heavens and the earth was severed, and the Human Immortal realms were separated.

The power hierarchy in this world was limited.

The most powerful beings were probably the Immortal Venerables slumbering in the three great divine mountains.

As long as he completed that layout and harvested the Dao Fruit of the various Demon Saints to aid his cultivation.

When he opened up the secret realm of the Lingtai and stepped into the pinnacle of the human realm.

He would probably be able to face the three Immortal Venerables without fear, and everything would be within his grasp.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan felt much more at ease.

Things were progressing step by step in the direction he had anticipated.

But the final result would depend on whether his sixth realm of the physical body, deduced by himself, was feasible.

[Dao Ancestor in the World]: Possessing transcendental characteristics, your comprehension surpasses the world, able to open up a path in the Dao, observe the changes of heaven and earth, and learn from them. Your comprehension surpasses all, unmatched by anyone.

Looking at the description of this Innate luck on his panel, Jiang Yuan murmured to himself.

"It should be feasible!"

"If it's not feasible, then the plan may have to undergo some changes."

"If it is feasible, with the Dean's strength, even if a True Immortal comes, it won't matter. With the Dean's strength, he is enough to not fear a True Immortal, and I can also overcome the Saint Tribulation and achieve sainthood."

"The grand commotion of the heavenly tribulation will surely provoke the full strength of the Monster Race in the world."

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan clenched his fist secretly, his heart not calm.

This step is crucial to his future plans.

It is extremely important to him.

Especially knowing that the suspected immortal is returning to this world, his heart is filled with a sense of urgency.

No one knows how much turmoil this powerful being will bring upon his return.

Will he find himself? Will he be in danger?

Jiang Yuan doesn't know any of this.

Nor does he know when he will return.

Will it be in the next moment, or thousands of years later?

He doesn't know either.

At that unknown level, he is completely ignorant.

All he can do is enhance his own strength as much as possible, to adapt to any situation.

As long as his strength is strong enough, no matter what the future holds, he can handle it calmly.

He can also protect the people he cares about the most.

Thinking about all this in his mind, there was a slight fluctuation in the void, and a pitch-black Great Dao appeared.

It quietly appeared like a piece of cloth, and then merged into Jiang Yuan's body.

At the same time.

Dugu Bo, who was meditating in the courtyard, suddenly opened his eyes and withdrew from the sixth realm of the physical body's derivation secret realm.

He instantly looked in the direction where Jiang Yuan was, and his eyes pierced through the layers of void, seeing what was happening around Jiang Yuan.

"Assimilating the Dao into the body, is this devouring the Great Dao?"

"It's truly an incredible achievement!"

Dugu Bo muttered to himself, his words filled with envy.

The power and uniqueness of devouring the Great Dao were fully demonstrated in Jiang Yuan.

On the other side.

With the assimilation of the Great Dao into his body.

Jiang Yuan instantly saw the degree of his mastery of devouring the Great Dao on the panel skyrocket.

After a few breaths, the progress of the skyrocketing stopped.

[Great Dao]: Devouring the Great Dao (24.66%).

Looking at the changes on the panel, although compared to before, the progress only increased by six percent, and the degree of mastery of devouring the Great Dao only increased by a little over half.

But Jiang Yuan still had a faint smile on his face.

Because this progress was not achieved through his cultivation and comprehension, but simply through the automatic absorption of the devouring Great Dao within his body.

At this rate, even though it would become more difficult as he progressed, after a certain amount of time, the newly born devouring Great Dao within him would eventually completely devour and replace the devouring Great Dao of this world.

That day would be the time for him to ascend as the Lord of Devouring.

However, Jiang Yuan did not plan to wait patiently for this. If it were someone else, they would naturally let the devouring Great Dao within their body gradually take over.

From Jiang Yuan's devouring Great Dao's return, it can be seen that as his cultivation realm improves, the speed of replacement is not slow.

It can even be said to be extremely fast!

But this efficiency is still too slow for Jiang Yuan.

After all, this path is related to the effect of his layout when transcending the tribulation and becoming a saint.

If at that time, when the starry sky is stained with blood, countless demon saints fall, and he cannot consume those Dao Fruits, it would be such a waste.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the day of devouring and refining the Yao Sheng Dao Fruit can be achieved quickly, it is crucial to have a high degree of mastery over the devouring Great Dao.

This is the most critical part of Jiang Yuan's plan.

"For now, let me personally assist in the devouring process and see if it can speed up the replacement," Jiang Yuan said, looking up at the void and muttering to himself.

In the next moment, the devouring Great Dao manifested behind him once again, instantly merging into the depths of the void and attaching itself to the devouring Great Dao of this world. It transformed into a firmly attached dragon-like entity, constantly absorbing the rules within the devouring Great Dao.

As time slowly passed, the devouring Great Dao of this world gradually shrank at an almost imperceptible speed. On the other hand, Jiang Yuan's devouring Great Dao, due to its small size, visibly grew stronger as it continued to devour and absorb.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan closed his eyes slightly, only sensing these changes.

Half an hour later, he suddenly opened his eyes. As his eyes opened and closed, a strange phenomenon appeared in his pupils - the Dual Pupils were born within his eyes.

Golden chains of order crisscrossed within his pupils, and the Yin and Yang energies circulated within them.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan felt that his eyes could see the vast sky above and the deep abyss below. Nothing could obstruct his gaze, and his eyes could perceive the essence of all things, pointing directly to the origin of everything.

Jiang Yuan looked up at the void, and his eyes pierced through layer after layer of emptiness, directly reaching the deepest part of the void.

The space where the manifestation of the three thousand Great Dao occurred.

Being able to reach this space with his gaze allowed him to clearly see the changes in the three thousand Great Dao and the traces of the Great Dao patterns.

Being able to see this layer would greatly simplify the comprehension of the three thousand Great Dao. Even if there were Great Dao patterns manifested in Low Grade Dao weapons as objects of comprehension, they would pale in comparison to Jiang Yuan's current state.

This is the effect of the Dual Pupils - the gaze can perceive the essence of everything and point directly to the origin of all things.

Because every Emperor with Dual Pupils in history has reached the pinnacle of the human realm and stepped into the Supreme realm.

For cultivators with Dual Pupils, their gaze can directly reach the origin of the world, see the changes in the three thousand Great Dao, and perceive the traces of the Great Dao patterns.

Therefore, comprehending the nine Great Dao is a guaranteed achievement, and for those with Ancient Dual Pupils, it is not very difficult.

As a result, for those with Dual Pupils, entering the pinnacle of the human realm is naturally much simpler than for other cultivators.

This is also the great strength of Dual Pupils, providing tremendous assistance in cultivation.

In Jiang Yuan's eyes, this Innate luck is extremely powerful, far surpassing most golden Innate luck. Among the many golden Innate luck, this Innate luck called [Ancient Dual Pupils] is also among the top.

At this moment, as Jiang Yuan observed the changes in the devouring Great Dao and examined the patterns and traces of the devouring Great Dao, numerous insights suddenly emerged in his mind, and certain fundamental changes occurred within his body.

These were the changes that occurred in his devouring Divine Body as his mastery of the devouring Great Dao increased.

[You are attempting to comprehend the devouring Great Dao. Your inspiration has erupted, and you have gained great insights. Your mastery of the devouring Great Dao has increased from 24.66% to 24.69%.]

[...]

[You are attempting to comprehend the devouring Great Dao. Your inspiration has erupted, and you have gained great insights. Your mastery of the devouring Great Dao has increased from 28.21% to 22.24%.]

[...]
