Longevity: Start From The Entry Of Luck

Chapter 526: Born in adversity, die in comfort!

In the courtyard.

After a brief discussion, the allocation of resources in the Western Wasteland was completely settled among the three of them.

Then, the three of them drank together until the sunset on the mountain ridge, as the sky gradually darkened and night fell, with the bright moon gradually rising.

"I'll toast Fellow Daoist Jiang one last time before I go!" Ji Hao said.

He then raised his glass towards Jiang Yuan.

The two glasses lightly touched, and then they drank it all in one go.

With the bottom of the glass empty, Ji Hao also stood up. "Fellow Daoist Jiang, I've talked too much today!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and stood up. "No worries! Drinking is a great pleasure in life! Today, I also happen to relax my tense mind."

"It's rare to see someone as diligent as you, and it's no wonder you have achieved such talent!" Ji Hao looked at him with emotion. "To achieve great success, both effort and talent are indispensable!"

Jiang Yuan smiled without saying anything.

At this moment, Ji Yuexue also stood up and came to Ji Hao's side.

"Younger Junior Brother, I'm going back!" Ji Yuexue waved to Jiang Yuan and said goodbye.

Then.

"Burp—" She couldn't help but burp, her already flushed face filled with shyness.

Seeing Jiang Yuan's smiling gaze, Ji Yuexue immediately covered her eyes with her hands.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but smile. "Take care, Junior Sister!"

Then he turned to Ji Hao. "Take care, Human Sovereign!"

Ji Hao nodded slightly in response.

Just before leaving, Ji Yuexue suddenly moved her hands away and looked straight at Jiang Yuan.

"Younger Junior Brother, if you have time, you can come to the palace to find me! I'm bored alone every day."

Then she ran to Shu Xiaoxiao and grabbed her hands. "Sister, if you have time, you can come and play with me too! We can have a chat!"

"Okay!" Shu Xiaoxiao nodded.

After a while.

Watching Ji Hao and Ji Yuexue leave.

Dugu Bo slowly spoke up. "I should go back too!"

Jiang Yuan said, "Then I'll see you off, Dean!"

"Alright!" Dugu Bo nodded. "Walk with me then!"

"Okay!" Jiang Yuan nodded.

The two of them walked on the small path down the mountain.

The cold moonlight shone through the gaps in the leaves and fell on the stone-paved path in the forest.

"Do you know that Ji Hao didn't tell you one thing just now?" Dugu Bo spoke up as they walked along the forest path.

Jiang Yuan shook his head. "I don't know, but the Dean should know, right?"

Dugu Bo nodded. "I know!"

He continued, "It's not a big deal, but it's not small either! With your rise, our Human Clan has become powerful! If necessary, the Four Seas and the Southern Ridge can be flattened, and all the Monster Race in the world can be exterminated, making the Five Domains and Four Seas belong to our Human Clan."

"So that's what it is! I've considered it before!" Jiang Yuan said, then shook his head. "I've considered it before, but now I understand one thing."

"What is it?" Dugu Bo looked puzzled.

Jiang Yuan said, "Balance! The way of balance!"

Then he asked, "Dean, have you ever heard of this saying: born in adversity, die in comfort! If the Five Domains and Four Seas all belong to the Human Clan, and the Human Clan becomes powerful with no opponents, it won't take long for it to fall apart, with major forces fighting and killing each other. The consequences will be no less than the Monster Race."

"In that case, it's better to keep the Monster Race as a touchstone for the younger generation, to sharpen them!"

"Without external threats, they will inevitably not unite, and eventually they will fall into internal strife."

"Without external crises or external conflicts, it will eventually evolve into internal crises and internal conflicts."

Hearing the last two sentences from Jiang Yuan, Dugu Bo nodded in agreement.

"I agree with what you just said!"

"So you mean we should leave behind the Southern Ridge and the Four Seas?"

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Yes! We need to leave behind enough Monster Race in order to become opponents for future cultivators! With me around, the Monster Race won't be able to cause any major trouble. Moreover, the great cultivators within any Monster Race are themselves a resource, an indispensable resource that cannot be replaced even by heavenly treasures!"

Dugu Bo nodded again, "Makes sense! Since that's the case, we'll do as you say and keep them! Next time I meet that kid Ji Hao, I'll personally talk to him about it."

As the two of them talked, they had already arrived at the foot of Heavenly Pillar Peak.

At the mountain gate, Dugu Bo suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Alright, you go back! I should go back too!"

"Take care, Dean!" Jiang Yuan said.

Dugu Bo nodded slightly.

In the next moment, his figure quickly disappeared from Jiang Yuan's sight.

After seeing Dugu Bo completely leave, Jiang Yuan turned around and started walking back.

With the cold mountain wind blowing, he walked through the mist-filled path, accompanied by the bright moonlight.

Jiang Yuan suddenly felt a sense of peace in his heart, and his mind gradually emptied.

Unconsciously, he had arrived at the front gate of his mansion.

"Young master!" he heard a call from beside him.

Jiang Yuan suddenly came back to his senses and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Young master, the mountain wind is chilly, let's go inside first!" she said.

Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded.

"Let's go then!"

With that, he stepped over the threshold.

Shu Xiaoxiao quickly followed Jiang Yuan's footsteps back to the mansion.

Then she closed the mansion gate, secured it with a latch, and hurriedly caught up with Jiang Yuan.

After returning to the room...

"Young master, would you like to take a nap?" Shu Xiaoxiao asked.

"Yes!" Jiang Yuan nodded.

"Then let me help you change!" As she spoke, Shu Xiaoxiao skillfully helped Jiang Yuan take off his outer robe. "Young master, the water is ready! How about taking a bath first?"

Jiang Yuan nodded, then said, "Let's do it together!"

"Okay!" Shu Xiaoxiao immediately lowered her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito, and her cheeks flushed.

After a while...

In the steaming bathtub, Shu Xiaoxiao wore thin undergarments and rubbed Jiang Yuan's back.

"Young master, that little princess earlier is your senior sister, right?"

Jiang Yuan rested his hands on the edge of the bathtub, his chin resting on his crossed arms as he replied, "Yes! What about her?"

While doing her job, Shu Xiaoxiao said, "Little Xiaoxiao can tell that the little princess clearly has admiration for the young master! Why not..."

"Why not what?" Jiang Yuan chuckled.

"Why not take her as your concubine! After all, Little Xiaoxiao is useless!" Shu Xiaoxiao's voice became somewhat low.

Feeling the woman's low spirits behind him, Jiang Yuan turned around.

"Why do you say you're useless? No one is more useful than you! Without your care, I can't even imagine how terrible my life would be."

Shu Xiaoxiao shook her head, "It's only natural for me, as the young master's maid, to take care of the young master's daily life! But I've been serving you for so long, and I still haven't conceived a child for the young master. I'm really useless!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Seeing Jiang Yuan's smile, Shu Xiaoxiao's face immediately turned red, her voice filled with shyness, "Young master~"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Since Little Xiaoxiao wants to have a child, then we'll have to work harder!"

With that, he fell silent.

Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the room, Shu Xiaoxiao's voice.

"Ah--"

"What are you doing, young master?"

"Yes!" Jiang Yuan affirmed.

The next day.

Looking at the beautiful woman sleeping beside him, a smile appeared on Jiang Yuan's lips involuntarily.

To have such a wife, what more could a husband ask for!!

Although Shu Xiaoxiao is not his wife yet, she has always considered herself a maid.

But in Jiang Yuan's heart, she is his wife and his woman.

It is because of her care in his daily life that he can focus on cultivation without any worries.

He owes his achievements today to her.

"Young master!!" Suddenly, a murmur came from the woman beside him.

Then Jiang Yuan saw her open her sleepy eyes.

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly and reached out to touch her cheek. "Continue resting! You worked hard last night!"

"Mmm!" Shu Xiaoxiao replied softly, her brows showing signs of fatigue.

She then spoke, "Young master, why don't you take in that little princess! It's a bit too much for just one person!"

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but smile at this.

Then he patted her head. "Rest well."

He got up, covered the woman's fair and delicate body with a thin blanket, and walked out of the room into the courtyard.

Looking at the bright sunshine above his head.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but stretch lazily, and a crisp sound of cracking came from his body.

"Comfortable!" Jiang Yuan sighed.

Then he thought of what Shu Xiaoxiao had just said.

A smile appeared on his face, and he felt happy.

This happiness was not because she suggested that he take in Ji Yuanyuan.

It was because with her current attitude, when she meets Ye Chanxi in the future, at least there won't be any major problems on Shu Xiaoxiao's side.

That leaves only the problem on Ye Chanxi's side.

Half of the problem was directly solved, how could he not be happy.

After a while.

Jiang Yuan sat cross-legged in the courtyard and entered a state of cultivation directly.

He knew that his current strength was not truly invincible.

Once the suspected immortal returned, it would be an existence that he couldn't resist.

A powerful being who has lived through several epochs, without guessing, his strength must be incredibly strong.

Even if he is not the strongest in history, he is definitely not weak, and he must be among the top ten, or even higher.

He must surpass most of the Heavenly Venerables in the forbidden realm.

Jiang Yuan has just entered the True Spirit realm.

Even though this realm is exquisite and has great potential, it can at most be equivalent to an Immortal Venerable, or surpass an Immortal Venerable, but it is definitely not comparable to the Heavenly Venerables in the forbidden realm.

Not to mention being on par with the suspected immortal.

In Jiang Yuan's opinion, his estimation of the immortal's strength can only be underestimated, not overestimated.

After all, if his claims are true, if he has survived for several epochs, in such a long time, even a pig could achieve enlightenment and become an immortal, let alone such a special existence.

His strength must be unfathomable.

Therefore, Jiang Yuan never dares to be complacent about his own strength.

Whether it's this variable or the formidable enemy that may appear at any time in the river of time, it makes him not dare to relax.

Only when he has traveled through every corner of this river of time, defeated all opponents, and can take the final step to transcend this world, can he truly let go of his worries.

For wealthy people, their biggest regret is probably having money but not being able to spend it in the end.

For him, the possible regret would be that he could have been invincible in the world, fearless of any enemy, but because of lax cultivation, he would be powerless when faced with a crisis.

He absolutely does not want to see such a regrettable situation.

So until he truly becomes invincible, he does not want to relax, nor does he dare to relax.

After all, he is no longer alone; he has people he cares about, and a daughter who has yet to be born. How can he relax?

In the next moment...

Rumble...

The river of time instantly appears in his line of sight.

Vast and boundless, like the ocean.

Then, Jiang Yuan's eyes open and close, revealing Dual Pupils in his eyes.

[You are observing and comprehending the river of time. You have gained some understanding of the Great Dao of time, and your mastery of the Great Dao of time has increased.]

[You are observing and comprehending the river of time. You have gained some understanding of the Great Dao of time, and your mastery of the Great Dao of time has increased.]

[You are observing and comprehending the river of time. You have gained some understanding of the Great Dao of time, and your mastery of the Great Dao of time has increased from 50.05% to 50.06%.]

[...]

[...]

[You are observing and comprehending the river of time. You have gained some understanding of the Great Dao of time, and your mastery of the Great Dao of time has increased from 50.07% to 50.08%.]

As time slowly passes, Jiang Yuan's mastery of time becomes deeper and more profound.

Meanwhile, the outside world is in turmoil.

With the continuous promotion of the Precious Treasure Pavilion, the news has spread throughout the Five Domains and Four Seas that after Jiang Yuan's battle, the spoils of war will be auctioned by the Precious Treasure Pavilion.

Among them are not only many Holy Weapons and Dao Weapons, but also Immortal Weapons that will be auctioned at the auction.

The most crucial thing is that the sword of the Lord of the Divine Mountain, who surpasses True Immortals in cultivation, will also be auctioned on the day the auction begins!

Upon hearing this news, the major forces couldn't help but breathe heavily.

Anyone who witnessed the entire battle in the extraterrestrial starry sky knows how terrifying the origin of that sword is.

It is a sword that surpasses True Immortals and is wielded by an Immortal Venerable!

Not only is its power extremely terrifying, it also contains the aura and power of time. Obtaining that sword would be of great help in mastering the power of time.

With this sword, even the foundation of the Apex Level Great Sect would skyrocket.

It can not only be used to defend against enemies, but also to cultivate peerless geniuses, allowing generation after generation of geniuses to comprehend time in advance and master the power of time.

So, upon learning the news, the major forces began to sell their assets and collect cultivation resources.

Because the Precious Treasure Pavilion made it clear that only those who possess various cultivation resources would be eligible to participate in the auction of Jiang Yuan's spoils of war.

Apart from that, anything else would not qualify for bidding!

The major forces did not find this strange at all, as anyone who witnessed the entire battle in the extraterrestrial starry sky knows why Jiang Yuan was able to reach this level at such a young age and possess such astonishing cultivation.

It was all because Jiang Yuan possessed a special power, an extremely powerful devouring power.

Only with such a powerful devouring power could he quickly accumulate his cultivation.

Thus, he created this Mythical existence.

Although there are many discussions about Jiang Yuan and his group, most people feel regretful because no matter how much of a genius Jiang Yuan is, no matter how astonishing his cultivation is, in the current world, reaching the Supreme Realm is the end of the road, with no way forward.

However, they also know that with Jiang Yuan's talent, reaching this level at such a young age, he will definitely not be content with this and will try various methods.

So they understand the requirements for this auction very well!
