Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags - Chapter 956

Chapter 956: Chapter 451 Thank you, Daoist Friend, for the assistance and providing the coordinates!_2 Chapter 956: Chapter 451 Thank you, Daoist Friend, for the assistance and providing the coordinates!_2 After hearing Jiang Yuan’s narrative, he was filled with curiosity about this ancient book.

You should know, this is suspected to be an ancient book left behind by a bearer of longevity.

Although he instinctively didn’t believe that there could be anyone in this world who could achieve immortality,
Jiang Yuan told him that it wasn’t impossible, as some people are born different.

Hearing this from Jiang Yuan, he was immediately reminded of Jiang Yuan’s growth trajectory.

To have grown so much in just a few years, he wouldn’t believe that Jiang Yuan lacked any special qualities.

Now that these words came from Jiang Yuan’s mouth, he was somewhat skeptical yet somewhat believing.

The reason being that Jiang Yuan was very likely to be one of the special beings he mentioned.

Just like the Daoist Ancestor, like the Heavenly Emperor…

Those special and magnificent existences, born with their distinctive characteristics.

At this moment.

Dugu Bo was slowly flipping through the ancient book in his hands.

Jiang Yuan’s gaze became focused as he suddenly noticed the threads of causality entwined around this ancient book.

Indeed, there were!!

Jiang Yuan’s heart leaped with joy, and then he thought to himself,
Considering the worn appearance of this ancient book, it must be very old.

Yet, there are still threads of causality entwined around it; if these threads were linked to the existence that authored this tome, it would imply that this unknown existence is still alive in the world.

If that were true, then the words recorded in this book might indeed be credible.

With this thought, Jiang Yuan’s eyes shifted, following the threads of causality stretching within the ancient text.

…

In an instant,
Jiang Yuan felt as if his gaze transcended the ages, arriving at an unknowable place.

Here, everything was voidness, a pure voidness.

Time did not exist here, neither did all things, only a purity that reached the extreme of nothingness.

Amidst this expanse of voidness, the only thing Jiang Yuan could see with his eyes were a pair of profound, abyssal, purgatorial eyes.

In a gaze-off, these eyes seemed capable of devouring the ages, devouring all things in the world.

“Hahaha—-”
A burst of delirious laughter that seemed both euphoric and tearful entered Jiang Yuan’s ears.

“Thank you, Daoist Friend, for aiding me and providing the coordinates!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan was instantly alarmed.

“Wake up!”

A loud shout, like the ringing of a great bell, resounded in Jiang Yuan’s ears.

The moment this voice sounded, Jiang Yuan’s sight also instantaneously detached from this unknown place.

…

Meanwhile,
Land of Voidness.

An old man, likely over fifty, stood aloft upon a golden dragon bone, quietly floating in this place.

His clothing was tattered, and his hair was dry and haphazard like dead straw.

The key lay in his eyes, in which a mad gleam flickered occasionally, suggesting a somewhat disordered consciousness.

But at this moment, he was cackling in madness.

“Coordinates!”

“I’ve finally found the coordinates!!!”

“I can finally return!!!”

“Hahahaha—-”
“…”

Hysterical laughter continued to spill from the old man, spreading through the void and fading into the depths of nothingness.

Time held no meaning in this place.

It was only after a long while that he managed to suppress the elation in his heart.

Then his eyes slowly returned to a state of normalcy.

The next moment,
He moved his fingers slightly as if calculating something.

Several breaths later,
“Strange!!”

He murmured, “How can I not deduce any information? Could it be another being transcending above me?”

“That’s impossible!!”

“After several eras, only that one, dubbed the Heavenly Emperor, was stronger than I!”

“Even the Great Heavenly Venerate of the Three Pure Ones from the previous era was at best my equal; how could this era produce two beings who surpass me?”

A hint of serious contemplation flickered across his withered visage.

After a moment,
The figure’s withered body cracked into a smile as the corners of his mouth stretched back to his ears, and the stretched skin over his bony face seemed to wriggle.

“It doesn’t matter anymore!”

“Now that I’ve obtained the coordinates to return, I should make my way back first!”

“I wonder how the battle at the upriver part of the Time River ended up?”

“It’s also fortunate that I made a quick escape after that Heavenly Emperor perished; otherwise, wouldn’t I have met the same fate in that battle alongside the Heavenly Emperor?”

“…”

The withered old man kept talking while stepping on the Golden Dragon Bone, relying on the newly acquired coordinates to traverse the Land of Voidness, walking the path of return.

…

Eastern Region.

Holy Institute.

“What just happened to you?”

Dugu Bo asked, looking at Jiang Yuan with a face full of shock and an expression of utmost gravity.

Such alarmed expression on Jiang Yuan’s face, he had never seen before.

Hu—-
Hu—-
Jiang Yuan took several deep breaths in a row, slowly exhaling them, and only then did he gradually suppress the shock in his heart.

It took more than a dozen breaths for his emotions to slowly settle.

“Dean, I seem to have caused trouble!”

As he spoke, a deep sense of regret grew in Jiang Yuan’s heart.

He had assumed that by virtue of his Innate Energy Luck, which stood outside of the three realms, independent from the Five Elements, and detached from Heaven’s decree and unaffected by causality,
he could fearlessly confront anything.

No matter whom he spied upon, it would be impossible for him to be discovered.

But this time, he had made a grave mistake!

He had underestimated the existence of such forbidden beings.

From the words he heard from that forbidden existence, he knew.

It was because of him, that the being lost in the Land of Voidness had found the coordinates to this world.

Now that forbidden existence might already be using those coordinates, venturing towards this world.

Once such a forbidden being returns, who knows what great events might unfold?
