Longevity: Start From The Entry Of Luck

River surface.

Jiang Yuan looked up and upstream, only to see endless chaos and mist.

He turned his head and looked downstream on the vast river surface, where there was even more darkness.

In the next moment, Jiang Yuan withdrew his gaze and exerted his body to emerge from the river surface.

In an instant, his neck appeared above the river surface, but with it came a tremendous binding force.

It felt as if every inch of his body was bound by millions of iron chains, restricting his body and preventing him from ascending further.

After trying for a while, he could only expose his chest above the river surface.

Then, Jiang Yuan closed his eyes and floated quietly above the river surface, feeling the transformation within himself.

Because as his body emerged from the river surface, he immediately felt countless substances from the void above entering his body.

These substances were extremely mysterious. He couldn't see or touch them, only perceive their existence through his body.

With the baptism of those mysterious substances, Jiang Yuan suddenly felt every part of his body undergoing transformation, becoming stronger.

Not only his physical body, but the mana within his body was also gradually transforming through the baptism of these mysterious substances, as if evolving into a higher level of power.

"Could this be the baptism of the energy from the outside world?" Jiang Yuan murmured in his heart.

"Could this be the source of the path to transcendence and becoming powerful?"

At the same time, as Jiang Yuan stepped out of the river surface of the river of time, it seemed to attract the attention of this river of time.

The river surface gradually began to ripple, creating waves.

The waves grew stronger and higher with each passing moment.

Within each wave, there were numerous silver pebbles, constantly hitting Jiang Yuan's head.

At this moment, he felt like a reef standing on the surface of the sea, constantly splitting the surging waves.

"This should be the will of the river of time! It is trying to prevent living beings from stepping out of this world!" Jiang Yuan silently said in his heart.

Then he sighed slightly, "Unfortunately, I lack higher-level inheritance and knowledge, and I have no guidance from predecessors. Now, I can only make conjectures in my mind."

"But from what I know, the outside world is called the endless chaotic sea, and I am in a tributary of the river of time."

"Now that I have emerged from the river surface and felt the baptism of these mysterious substances, it should come from the substances in the endless chaotic sea, which are of a higher level."

"This should also be the reason why the Immortal Dao experts become powerful. They master the power of time, step by step stepping out of the river surface of time, experiencing the baptism of the substances from the outside world. As a result, their life levels transform into higher-level life forms, making them stronger!"

"If this speculation is correct, then the true source of the power of the Immortal Dao realm is not the so-called True Immortal Dao Fruit or Immortal Venerable Dao Fruit, but the fact that this path involves the most fundamental power, which is the power of time."

"Mastering the power of time is the core path to transcendence!"

"After all, the origin of this world comes from the river of time I am in."

"First, time appeared, then space appeared. The formation of spacetime gave rise to the four directions, creating a complete world."

While Jiang Yuan felt the changes within his body, he pondered quietly.

As for the increasingly powerful waves, they had no effect on him.

After a long time, several hours seemed to have passed in Jiang Yuan's perception.

Jiang Yuan immediately felt the baptism of this mysterious substance disappear.

In the next moment, he opened his eyes.

In front of him, there were surging waves, sparkling with countless silver stars.

In front of his chest, which was barely exposed, the rolling waves seemed to cover the sky and instantly blocked his entire field of vision.

After a few breaths.

Boom--

A loud roar sounded in his ears.

Jiang Yuan slightly closed his eyes, and after more than ten breaths, the wind and waves gradually calmed down, and he could see the chaos and mist above his head again.

Immediately, Jiang Yuan clenched his fist and felt the changes in his body. He murmured to himself, "Strange changes, everything seems the same as before, but it seems that my strength has increased by about twenty-five percent."

"Could this be the reason for the powerful transcendence of life forms?"

"My current strength far surpasses that of a True Immortal!"

Thinking of this, he immediately sorted out the structure of his own strength in his mind.

After opening a new path, my realm has reached an unknown territory, the True Spirit realm.

The strength of this realm is still unknown, as my current strength is too complex and diverse to be measured solely by the True Spirit realm.

In addition, outside the cultivation system, I am an extremely powerful source life form. With just the source life form, I can easily crush a True Immortal and have no fear of an Immortal Venerable!

In addition to the enhancement of my Primordial Origin Sacred Body and the Prison Divine Body!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but shake his head.

The structure of his current strength is indeed too complex.

He has no idea what level he is at.

But one thing is certain, his strength must be extremely powerful, enough to rival an Immortal Venerable.

And this kind of powerful strength, after exposing himself to the mysterious substance from the outside world, has increased by more than twenty-five percent in just a few hours.

From this, it can be seen how powerful the path of transcendence is.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Yuan was ready to make another attempt.

In the next moment.

He looked at the top of his head.

The top of his head was still the same chaos and mist as before, without any changes.

Then he found himself on the surface of the river and struggled to swim upwards again.

In an instant.

Every part of his body, every cell, seemed to be bound by countless chains.

Creak--

Creak--

The bones suddenly made a sound of friction.

Under Jiang Yuan's powerful strength, his body gradually broke free from this bondage and floated to the surface bit by bit.

As Jiang Yuan's body emerged, he felt the binding force becoming stronger and more terrifying.

But in the next moment, he instantly showed a delighted expression.

"It really works!"

As his body extended, Jiang Yuan suddenly felt mysterious substances descending from above his head and merging into his body.

He immediately underwent another transformation.

After several hours, this transformation came to an end once again.

Compared to the previous transformation, this one lasted longer.

Jiang Yuan looked down and saw that his exposed body was now close to his waist, and his arms could freely extend above the water.

Undoubtedly, there was progress compared to before.

Then, Jiang Yuan clenched his fist and slightly felt the surging power within his body.

"This time, it has increased by about forty-five percent!" he murmured, his face showing a thoughtful expression. "It seems that the more I break free from the constraints of the river of time, the more intense the transformation becomes."

Then he pondered, "And it seems that I have found a new path to transcendence, which is to transcend through strength and physical body!"

"I can clearly feel that the stronger my physical body and power, the more I can resist the constraints of the river of time and forcefully break free from the chains of the Five Elements."

"But obviously, compared to mastering the power of time and transcending, this path is more difficult."

"The requirements for physical body and power are terrifyingly high!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan once again mobilized all his strength and struggled to break free from the water.

Boom—

His bones resonated, blood gushed out, and every cell particle in his body released all its abilities.

At this moment, his whole body was filled with divine light.

Various colors of divine light spewed out of his pores.

Boom—

The river surface immediately surged with endless waves.

In an instant, the river area where Jiang Yuan was located also began to riot, with turbulent waves and towering waves.

Dozens of zhang high waves were rolled up, shining with silver light, and then slammed onto the river surface, instantly producing a deafening roar.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan felt as if he was not in the river water, but in a quagmire that wanted to completely engulf him.

Countless invisible chains emerged from below, tightly binding every inch of his muscles.

Break for me!!

Jiang Yuan shouted in his heart.

All his strength was completely mobilized, under the support of his immense power.

His body gradually emerged from the river surface.

At the same time, countless mysterious substances descended from the void above, merging into his body.

But Jiang Yuan paid no attention to it.

He gritted his teeth, his veins bulged, and he struggled to break free from the water's constraints.

He knew that he couldn't let out this breath. Once released, it would take a long time to recover and try again.

Time passed slowly, breath by breath.

Jiang Yuan's body slowly rose from the river surface, revealing his torso.

After several breaths.

Hoo—

He exhaled a breath of air, and the pressure in his heart also completely dissipated. A trace of exhaustion appeared between his eyebrows.

"This is already my limit. If I want to go further, I need to improve my strength!" Jiang Yuan said, looking down. He saw that more than half of his body had completely emerged from the river surface, and his upper body was swimming on the river surface, allowing the waves to sweep over him without moving.

"It's enough!" he nodded in satisfaction.

Then he closed his eyes slightly and quietly felt the baptism of the mysterious substances falling from above.

Time passed slowly again.

Half a day later.

Jiang Yuan opened his eyes again.

He clenched his fist and showed a delighted expression when he felt the astonishing power within his body.

Indeed, the progress was even greater.

My strength has doubled on the basis of the original.

"Not bad, really good!" he praised.

After feeling the changes in his body, Jiang Yuan's gaze fell on the upper reaches of the river of time.

In his eyes, this river of time was like an endless sea without boundaries.

His gaze could only see a certain distance of the river surface, and beyond that, it was enveloped in a hazy mist.

In the next moment, his right foot under the river surface slowly stepped towards the upstream.

Boom—

Countless images instantly appeared before his eyes, complex and intricate. In his eyes, those images were rapidly retreating.

"So this is the reverse flow of the river of time!" Jiang Yuan murmured.

At the same time, he also felt the terrifying impact hitting his body, causing his body to sway slightly.

"It's fine, I can withstand it!"

Jiang Yuan nodded.

After stabilizing his figure, he took another step forward.

Boom—

The scene in front of him continues to rewind.

Among countless scenes, he instantly saw the scene of him Transcending Tribulation in the outer domain starry sky, witnessing the terrifying Supreme Tribulation wave and the vast starry sky.

As he moved forward again, the scene rewound once more. The Saint Tribulation descended, and countless Saints looked on in shock.

Jiang Yuan kept walking, continuing forward. Soon, he saw his own figure outside the South Heaven Gate, his figure in the Covenant Battle, and his figure in the Grotto-Heaven of Li Zhu.

Step by step, as he faced the impact of the river of time, the resistance he encountered with each step grew stronger and more difficult.

Tracing back through time, he quickly saw his own figure in Lin'an County.

At this moment, he suddenly slowed his pace.

Time rapidly rewound.

The second-in-command of the Black Wind Village came to his door.

Time continued to rewind, showing his figure diligently Body Tempering on the martial arts field.

Then, the scene continued to rewind, freezing in the moment he transmigrated to this world.

Looking at the expression of the man in the scene, Jiang Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

This was when he first arrived in this world.

No death, no being hit by a car.

Just walking through a foggy night and suddenly arriving in this world.

At that time, he was shocked and confused.

After observing for a long time, Jiang Yuan was also resisting the impact of the river of time as much as he could.

Arriving at this time node against the flow of the river of time, he could feel the tremendous impact.

In the next moment, a strand of divine sense split off from him and merged into this time node.

In an instant, his figure appeared in the sky above Lin'an County.

At this moment, he seemed like a ghost, floating outside this world, unable to interfere with any changes in this time node.

Arriving at this time node, Jiang Yuan could feel it.

If he interfered with the past history, he would suffer the backlash of the river of time.

The greater the interference, the more changes made, the greater the backlash from the river of time.

"So that's how it is!" Jiang Yuan nodded to himself. "Changing the past history, interfering with the timeline, there are indeed limitations. Just as I suspected!"

Then, the scene began to rewind, slowly returning to the moment he transmigrated here.

Suddenly, Jiang Yuan saw a faint purple light flash in his eyes in this time node, an almost imperceptible purple light.

This moment when the purple light flashed is the dividing line where his consciousness replaced the previous Jiang Yuan's consciousness.

"Purple light!" Jiang Yuan's eyes suddenly narrowed. "What does this represent?"

He replayed that scene again, originally clear eyes, stretching his body towards the rising sun.

With a flash of purple light, his eyes instantly filled with confusion and astonishment.

This was also the moment he transmigrated to this world.

"Could my transmigration be related to this purple light?" Jiang Yuan pondered to himself.

After repeatedly watching that scene several times.

"Forget it! I can't find any other unusual places!" he couldn't help but shake his head.

After retracting his gaze, Jiang Yuan suddenly froze, his eyes instantly focused on the place he had glanced at.

"Is that... Xiaoxiao?"

He muttered in slight surprise.

In a flash, he disappeared in the sky above Zhenyuan Escort Agency, and then appeared in the sky above the city gate.

Looking closely at the thin little girl, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but smile slightly, "It really is her! So, Xiaoxiao arrived in Lin'an County at this time and was sold by her parents, right?"

Curious, Jiang Yuan followed behind Shu Xiaoxiao and her parents.

Then he discovered that Shu Xiaoxiao's parents were taking her straight to the west side of Lin'an County.

The west side of Lin'an County was the most chaotic place, controlled by several so-called gangs, where protection fees were collected and human trafficking took place.

In Jiang Yuan's observation, Shu Xiaoxiao was quickly sold by her parents to a middle-aged woman named Hongniang.

Afterwards, Shu Xiaoxiao was brought to Yunyan Tower, the place where he would later meet her.

After the handover was completed.

The steward of Yunyan Tower pinched Shu Xiaoxiao's arm and pinched her cheek.

"How old are you?"

"Fourteen!"

"You're of the right age, but your body is too weak, you need to be nurtured for two years!" The steward muttered to himself, "But your foundation is indeed good. That Hongniang didn't make a mistake, finding such a good seedling, she is indeed a candidate for a courtesan!"

Saying this, the steward's face suddenly showed a satisfied smile, nodding at Shu Xiaoxiao.

"Nurture her for two years, cultivate her in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and she will definitely captivate the noble young masters. Only then can we maximize our profits!"

Afterwards.

At this time point, time flew by quickly, and Jiang Yuan secretly protected Shu Xiaoxiao.

Soon, it came to the time when he would meet Shu Xiaoxiao.

At this time point, Jiang Yuan completely freed himself and left.

Afterwards, he continued to flow against the river of time.

He suddenly saw a young Jiang Zhenyuan and his nominal mother.

He saw Jiang Zhenyuan establish a huge foundation in Lin'an County and earn the title of Wind and Thunder Sword.

Curious, Jiang Yuan flowed against time and saw the young Tantai Ming who had just come down the mountain.

Looking at Tantai Ming's innocent and naive gaze, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but nod, "Indeed, her appearance and temperament are excellent. No wonder Jiang Zhenyuan could never forget her."

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel a little sorry for his own mother whom he had never met.

Immediately, thinking of the scenes he had seen before, Jiang Yuan sighed softly, realizing that there was nothing more to say.

Although Jiang Zhenyuan had never forgotten Tantai Ming, he had also fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband and father.

As for what is in my heart, how else can I condemn it?

A true gentleman judges actions, not intentions, let alone matters of the heart!

After casually glancing at it, Jiang Yuan continued to flow against the river of time.

Moving forward, there was nothing worth his attention.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan wanted to take a look at the period of time when the heavens and earth were connected, to see if he could discover some unknown secrets.

But soon after, Jiang Yuan stood before Qinling Supreme and sighed softly.

Flowing against the river of time, he also saw the calamities and chaos that repeatedly affected the Five Domains and Four Seas.

All were caused by awakened immortals, harvesting the life essence of all beings to prolong their own lives.

It was not much different from what he had learned before.

However, in this life, Qinling Supreme personally killed a True Immortal, which made Jiang Yuan unable to help but be amazed.

In the tens of thousands of years he had flowed against time, he had experienced numerous calamities, but only this time did Qinling Supreme prevent a calamity that would have affected the three domains of humanity.

He killed a True Immortal.

In such a heavenly and earthly environment, it was truly shocking.

It made Jiang Yuan feel admiration.

At this moment, Qinling Supreme suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the void ahead.

"Whoever Fellow Daoist has descended upon this place, please come out and meet me!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but be slightly surprised, his gaze following Qinling's eyes.

In an instant, he saw that Qinling Supreme seemed to have discovered him, his eyes like torches, looking at the direction where Jiang Yuan was.

"Could it be that he really found me?" Jiang Yuan couldn't help but be astonished.

Just then, Qinling Supreme spoke again, "Fellow Daoist, since you have crossed time to come here, now that you're here, please come out and meet me!"

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Yuan's heart was immediately confirmed without a doubt.

The next moment, his figure appeared in front of Qinling Supreme, filled with a faint illusion.

"But I am a human Fellow Daoist!" Qinling looked at Jiang Yuan's sudden appearance, his eyes suddenly freezing.

"That's right!" Jiang Yuan nodded.

Upon hearing this, Qinling's face immediately relaxed.

He then asked, "I know Fellow Daoist has flowed against the river of time, and cannot reveal too much about the heavenly secrets, but I still want to ask, is Fellow Daoist from the future?"

"That's right!" Jiang Yuan nodded again.

Qinling Supreme's expression once again brightened, "I apologize for my rudeness. I still want to ask one more question, is there still the calamity of the Three Great Divine Mountains in the future?"

Jiang Yuan slowly nodded, "Yes!"

"There is still?" Qinling Supreme, upon hearing this, had a hint of bitterness in his expression. "Does that mean my human race is destined to be their captive?"

As he finished speaking, his gaze fell on Jiang Yuan once again. "With Fellow Daoist's Divine Ability, can't you resolve the calamity of the Three Great Divine Mountains? Fellow Daoist must have a strength far surpassing that of a True Immortal to be able to come here!"

Jiang Yuan said, "Among the Three Great Divine Mountains from beyond the domains, there are still three beings above the level of True Immortals."

Upon hearing this, a complex look flashed in Qinling Supreme's eyes, followed by a sense of despair.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "So that's why even Fellow Daoist can't reconcile these three great divine mountains!"

"I was still feeling proud before. After I achieved the Dao, I could reverse the suppression of True Immortals. Even if True Immortals joined forces, I had no fear."

"The three great divine mountains from beyond the domain sealed themselves off, fearing my strength!"

"So it turns out they didn't want to waste too much power on me. It turns out that within the divine mountains, there are three existences above True Immortals in slumber!"

"How can I resist this?"

Seeing the intense pain and despair in Qinling Supreme's eyes, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but speak, "Fellow Daoist, don't worry. It won't be long before I can level the three great divine mountains from beyond the domain."

Suddenly, Qinling Supreme's eyes shot out a bright light as he looked at Jiang Yuan.

"Fellow Daoist, are you not deceiving me?"

Jiang Yuan said, "Why would I deceive you?"

"Has Fellow Daoist ever killed a True Immortal?" Qinling Supreme hurriedly asked.

"I have! On the day I achieved the Dao, I offered five True Immortals as sacrifices to the heavens!"

"Hiss—" Upon hearing this, Qinling Supreme couldn't help but take a cold breath. "The day you achieved the Dao, was it the day you entered the Supreme Realm?"

"That's right!" Jiang Yuan nodded again.

"Fellow Daoist is truly remarkable!" Qinling Supreme was filled with admiration. "In front of Fellow Daoist, the lofty truth is like a chicken and a dog!"

"To be able to kill all five with just one opponent, I am far inferior to you!"

The next moment, he asked again, "Has Fellow Daoist ever faced someone above a True Immortal?"

Jiang Yuan waved his hand, instantly replaying that scene.

Witnessing that scene with his own eyes, Qinling Supreme's eyes were filled with astonishment as he looked at Jiang Yuan.

"Fellow Daoist's strength is unfathomable! I can't even understand it! Is this still the Supreme Realm?"

"At that time, I was still in the Supreme Realm!" Jiang Yuan said.

"At that time?" Qinling Supreme instantly caught Jiang Yuan's meaning, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

He continued, "Are you saying that it's not the case now?"

Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment and looked at Qinling Supreme with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

Qinling Supreme saw this and said, "I have overstepped my bounds!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and shook his head. "It's not something that can't be said! I'm just a little worried about the backlash of the river of time."

"Then Fellow Daoist, please don't say it!" Qinling Supreme said.

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "I just want to see what happens when this information is revealed!"

After speaking, Jiang Yuan said again, "There's nothing impossible to say. I have opened up a new path, a path that transcends the Supreme Realm and reaches an unknown realm, comparable to the realm of Immortal Dao."

"And the direction of this new path is the physical body!"

When he said the last sentence, the space and time changed, and a tremendous force instantly fell on Jiang Yuan.

Boom—

The void trembled.

Jiang Yuan's figure shattered and disappeared in an instant.

At the same time, Jiang Yuan's figure in the river of time rapidly retreated, carried by the vast power of the river of time, and returned to the original time point where he was located. (End of this chapter)
