Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Chapter 300: Chapter 203: The Saint’s Dharma Decree, Holy Institute Students!

Pearl Cave.

Dragon Palace.

Hearing Dugu Bo’s invitation, Jiang Yuan looked at him.

This man was a saint of the human race, possessing a sacred body of the human race, and he was the founder of the Holy Institute.

The fact that he could compete on equal terms with the Divine Institute showed how terrifying his cultivation realm was.

It also seemed clear, even amongst saints his abilities were among the top.

Otherwise how could he dare to compete with the Divine Institute.

In such a situation, become a student of the Holy Institute, the Institute would become a huge support behind him.

At this thought, Jiang Yuan nodded, “I’ll do it!”

“Good!” Dugu Bo nodded slightly.

With a wave of his hand, from the crystal dragon chair behind him, a golden insignia flew towards Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan received it with one hand, catching the object.

This insignia was made of gold and appeared to be jade, but it was impossible to discern what materials it was made of.

“This is the insignia of the students of the Holy Institute, you can hold this insignia and report to Dao City when you reach the Dharma Realm,” Dugu Bo said.

Dharma Realm? Jiang Yuan muttered to himself inwardly.

Then he bowed respectfully, “I understand, goodbye, Dean!”

Dugu Bo lightly stroked his beard and laughed, “Not bad, I have high expectations for you, I hope you can condense your dharma-nature as soon as possible and report to the institute.”

Jiang Yuan bowed and said, “Rest assured, I will practice diligently and condense my dharma-nature as soon as possible.”

“I give you three years. If you can transform your Primordial Spirit into Dharma-nature within three years and report to the Institute, I will give you a big present!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan was overjoyed.

The gift Dugu Bo mentioned must be a true treasure.

Because this was a gift from a saint’s mouth, even a trace of anything casually given by a saint would be considered priceless.

Jiang Yuan quickly bowed and replied, “Thank you, Dean!”

His figure gradually became faint, then suddenly solidified again.

“By the way, the insignia you hold in your hand contains one of my Dharma Decrees.”

“You can use it to save yourself if necessary, after you bleed on this insignia, you will know how to activate it.”

“But it shouldn’t be necessary, just showing your identity sign, even a saint, will have to give you face!”

Dugu Bo confidently stated.

Jiang Yuan bowed once again, “Thank you, senior!”

He felt extremely relieved at heart.

Listening to Dugu Bo, gave him a sense of the kind of person he was.

Being a student of the Holy Institute relieved him from many concerns.

In fact, it allowed him to be bolder in his actions.

So as for Zhou Qiu, Song Que and the other two of the East Sea Demon Tribe, there is no need to be so cautious any longer.

As for Dugu Bo, his figure also gradually faded away.

After a few moments, once he confirmed that Dugu Bo had completely left,

Jiang Yuan slowly let out a breath, and his tensed body relaxed.

He held up the golden insignia, which looked like jade but was not, and observed it, seeing just the word “Saint” engraved on it.

The other side was so shiny that there were no patterns or carvings at all.

He could not see the Saint’s Dharma Decree that Dugu Bo had mentioned at all, regardless of how he tried to search for it.

“Forget it, let’s bind it by blood,” Jiang Yuan said casually.

At the tip of his finger, he condensed a drop of blood. This drop of blood was completely different from that of ordinary people.

It had strands of golden silk in it.

The drop of blood fell on the insignia and slowly melted into it.

Jiang Yuan immediately felt a connection between himself and the insignia.

He also realized that the word “Saint” on the insignia was the Saint’s Dharma Decree Dugu Bo had mentioned.

All he had to do was will it, and the word “Saint” would fly out of the insignia.

A single word written by a Saint could crush any existence below a Saint.

After he had absorbed this information, Jiang Yuan was shocked.

He hadn’t expected a Saint to be so formidable.

Just an ordinary word, once written by a Saint, possessed such divine power.

Then he concentrated his mind.

The backside of the insignia in his hand slowly formed a “Jiang”.

This word represented his identity.

It also meant that he formally became a preparatory student of the Holy Institute.

As long as he condensed his dharma-nature and broke through to the Dharma Realm, he could officially enter the Institute and become a true student of the Holy Institute.

Jiang Yuan put the insignia in his pocket.

Then he looked around, only to see pearls and jade all around, but none of the heavenly materials and treasures he had in mind appeared here.

Jiang Yuan searched the palace once more and sighed softly.

He turned around and left.

The so-called Dragon Palace in Pearl Cave, apart from its luxuriousness, had no treasures left behind.

Only gaining the identity as a student of the Holy Institute.

However, if he had to choose, even ten or a hundred thousand-year-old great medicines weren’t as important as the identity of a student of the Holy Institute.

Becoming a student of the Holy Institute was equivalent to having a huge entity backing him – the top-tier Holy Institute.

He didn’t need to worry too much about dying prematurely, and he didn’t need to worry about being oppressed by power.

It allowed him to grow with ease.

For Jiang Yuan, as long as he has enough time, his talents would surely be the best that ever was and ever will be.

He would surely become truly invincible.

Those so-called treasures and great medicines could just slightly speed up his progress, and wouldn’t substantially change anything.

Being a student of the Holy Institute, however, was a completely different matter.

Just this insignia, this insignia that represented his status as a student at the Holy Institute, allowed him to grow more smoothly.

Not to mention there was one of Dugu Bo’s Dharma Decrees left in the insignia, a Saint’s Dharma Decree could suppress any existence below a Saint.

After making sure he had left nothing behind, Jiang Yuan ascended into the sky.

A moment later.

He reappeared above the sea.

Feeling the pressure on his body, he walked step by step towards the shore.

The further he walked, the more relaxed he became, and the faster he walked.

He didn’t need to hold back or worry anymore.

“He’s out!” Lin Yuqing had a complex look on her face.

The appearance of the Pearl Cave had been over a hundred years, and someone had finally entered its core.

She didn’t know what was actually inside.

Shu Xiaoxiao also looked pleased, “Young Master is finally out!”

In just three hours, Jiang Yuan had returned to the shore again.

Zhou Qiu was sitting on the ground, even though one hand was torn and one arm was completely shattered.

His face still looked as calm as ever.

“Jiang Yuan, can you tell us what exactly is there inside the Dragon Palace that we’re uncertain about?”

Upon hearing Zhou Qiu’s question, all eyes turned towards Jiang Yuan immediately.

This question wasn’t only troubled Zhou Qiu, but also Song Que, Lin Yuqing, and the two from the East Sea Demon Tribe.

Jiang Yuan, now in high spirits, did not mind answering the question.

He answered lightly, “Nothing much. The repression above the sea was merely a test left behind by the Saint.”

“A test!” Zhou Qiu shuddered, “You entered the Dragon Palace, which means you passed the Saint’s test. Have you now become his disciple?”

Jealousy shone in Song Que’s eyes.

Being a disciple of a Saint was equivalent to ascending to heaven in one step.

Lin Yuqing too looked at Jiang Yuan with envy.

Since it was a test set by the Saint and Jiang Yuan had passed it, it was only natural for him to become a disciple.

Being a disciple of a Saint would evoke envies and jealousies from everyone.

Jiang Yuan shook his head, “He didn’t take any disciple, how could I become his disciple? All I did was join the Holy Institute!”

The Holy Institute?

They all hesitated momentarily.

All of them seemed clueless about it.

Jiang Yuan, too lazy to explain further, walked aside.

Now, it was time to focus on cultivation; only by breaking into the Dharma Realm could he solve the turbulence in the Qianyuan Kingdom a year later.

It was only then that he would peacefully go to the Holy Institute.

In this regard, the treasures of heaven and earth in the Pearl Cave were of utmost importance to him.

Without these treasures of heaven and earth, it would be impossible to break into the Dharma Realm in just over a year.

Time was pressing for Jiang Yuan. In the remaining eight months, he had to cultivate and find treasures of heaven and earth.

At the same time, he also needed to harvest the Luck Power from the heaven geniuses.

Under these circumstances, there was no time left to talk to them.

Arriving at one side, Jiang Yuan commanded lightly, “Xiaoxiao, keep an eye on them, kill anyone who makes a move!”

“Yes, Young Master!”

Shu Xiaoxiao responded.

Jiang Yuan sat down and took out a green lotus. The lotus swayed, sprinkling green light spots.

Looking at the green lotus before his eyes.

I hope it can help my divine soul transform into a primordial spirit.

Jiang Yuan thought silently.

The transformation of the divine soul into a primordial spirit was a crucial step.

Once the transformation was successful, the path to Dharma would be half completed.

Jiang Yuan could feel that his divine soul had already reached its limit, the limit of transformation.

His divine soul hadn’t grown for over a month!

During the third stage of the Divine Bridge Realm, it stagnated, an omen of imminent transformation.

Under these circumstances, only by transforming into a primordial spirit could he continue to grow.

To enable the divine soul to successfully transform into a primordial spirit,

The simplest method required external support.

Otherwise, it would require day-by-day accumulation until the day it piled up complete.

Like a floodgate being opened, breaking through the bottleneck, transforming the divine soul into a primordial spirit in one fell swoop.

If there were substantial external resources, this step would be much easier.

The next moment,

He took a green seed from the lotus.

A fragrant scent of grass instantly filled the entire coast.

The smell of grass made Jiang Yuan’s divine soul slightly stir.

It’s a pretty good thing!

It’s a three-thousand-year-old great medicine indeed, Jiang Yuan commended in his heart.

He put the seed into his mouth, but didn’t swallow it.

Instead, he peeled off another lotus and put the remaining two seeds together into his mouth.

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath.

Success or failure depended on this moment.

His throat moved slightly, and the three lotus seeds, each the size of a silkworm chrysalis, instantly slid into his belly.

He closed his eyes to concentrate, focusing on digesting the three lotus seeds in his belly.

At this point, the three lotus seeds were suspended in the center of Jiang Yuan’s belly, with strands of green, refreshing air twisting around them.

Ignoring all physical obstructions, it appeared on his spiritual platform.

These strands of green, refreshing air drifted toward his divine soul, culminating into the cocoon-shaped divine fetus.

Under these circumstances, his divine soul, which had long stopped growing, began to stir slightly.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan remained calm.

He continued to digest the three lotus seeds in his belly.

These three lotus seeds, each containing a thousand years of essence, were equivalent to three ordinary thousand-year-old great medicines.

Three medicines that could enhance the strength of divine souls, were invaluable.

With his slow digestion, under the effect of the Gluttonous Belly,

The medicinal effects weren’t wasted at all, transforming into streams of refreshing air, converging into his divine soul.

Time went by gradually.

With Shu Xiaoxiao’s protection, Zhou Qiu and others didn’t dare to make any moves.

In their eyes, Jiang Yuan was far more merciful than her.

At least he left them a way to survive.

As for Jiang Yuan’s maid, she killed at will.

Before they even reacted, the merman and Zhou Ting were killed by her.

She was so decisive!

Now that Jiang Yuan was cultivating, this was when her vigilance would be the strongest.

Under these circumstances, they didn’t dare to make any moves at all.

Perhaps a slight movement would make her misinterpret things and think they were interfering with Jiang Yuan’s cultivation.

If they were killed with one sword, wouldn’t they die unjustly?

Time went by day by day.

Digesting three lotus seeds wasn’t as simple as it seemed; this was equivalent to digesting three thousand-year-old great medicines at once.

After ten days,

The three lotus seeds in his belly were completely consumed by him.

All the refreshing energy converged on the spiritual platform, enveloping his divine soul.

Break for me!

With a movement of his thoughts, the refreshing energy instantly poured into his divine soul.

At this moment, it was like a thunderstorm meeting earth fire.

Boom

The entire spiritual platform shook.

Strings of golden light blossomed from the divine soul, illuminating the entire spiritual platform into a world of gold.
