Eternal Life Starts from Tai Chi

"I just felt Spiritual Qi gathering here. There’s probably some kind of Treasure!"

"The Spirit-Seeking Rats are all heading this way too. There might be Top-Level Spiritual Materials hidden here. If we get even one, we won’t have to worry about Cultivation Resources for years!"

A tall, thin middle-aged man spoke to the person beside him.

"Brother Xu, this is the area the Merak Sacred Land is exploring. There are people from the Cyan Yuan Sect nearby, too. We shouldn’t get any closer!"

"If they find us, we might end up buried here!"

The short, stout man beside him said anxiously, his voice trembling with obvious worry and unease.

"What’s there to be afraid of? Do you want the child your pregnant wife gives birth to to be a step behind everyone else?"

"If there’s a Top-Level Spiritual Material here that can be used for Foundation Establishment, your child could get a head start in life."

"Otherwise, they’ll be inferior to others. You might as well just get rid of it. If they’re born second-class, they’ll just be looked down on!"

The tall, thin middle-aged man berated him, his gaze fixed on the distant place where the Spiritual Qi was gathering, a greedy glint in his eyes.

Top-Level Spiritual Materials were extremely rare. A single stalk could be exchanged for countless Elixirs, and it might even give him a chance to break through to the Inner Master realm.

An Inner Master, in any Imperial Dynasty, could establish a sizable family anywhere outside the Imperial Capital. They would no longer have to live the wandering, displaced life of a Loose Cultivator.

For the tall, thin middle-aged man, this was an opportunity he was unwilling to let go of. He wouldn’t give up now.

Even though this was territory claimed by the Merak Sacred Land, with people from the Cyan Yuan Sect searching for Spirit Medicine, he would not back down. After all, this might be the last chance in his life to change his fate.

He had once wanted to join a Sect, but his Talent wasn’t good enough. Later, by a twist of fate, he became a Loose Cultivator, and only then did he learn how difficult the path of a Loose Cultivator was.

Having missed the opportunity to join a Sect, he would not miss this one, no matter the danger.

He was already risking his life in a Secret Realm; he certainly didn’t mind taking a little more risk.

"This is it!"

"Let’s go. Inside!"

Berated by the tall, thin man, the short, stout man meekly walked to the side of the mountain and found a cave entrance.

"There’s a cave here! Maybe it holds a predecessor’s legacy!"

A look of joy flashed across the short, stout man’s face when he saw the entrance.

The two men entered the cave, one after the other. This was unexpected, and it implied an even greater opportunity might be hidden inside.

A greedy glint now flashed in the short, stout man’s eyes as well; his earlier worries had long since vanished.

In the face of immense profit, a person can overcome their fear.

"Why couldn’t you be a little smarter?"

"This cave entrance is brand new!"

A sigh came from inside the cave. Just as the tall, thin man and the short, stout man turned to run, two Flying Needles shot out, piercing them between the eyes.

They didn’t even have time to beg for mercy before they fell silent.

"So it was a Spirit-Seeking Rat. No wonder they found this place!"

"Master, when you broke through, most of the Spiritual Qi you absorbed came from within the mountain. However, a small portion still came from the outside. Setting up a Convergence Array helped conceal some of it and avoid most people, but a little thing like a Spirit-Seeking Rat can still sense it!"

"It’s very good at sensing Spiritual Qi and can detect places where it gathers. These places are likely to have Treasures, which is why the Spirit-Seeking Rat sensed it and thought there were Spiritual Materials here."

the Black Dragon explained, hovering beside Yang Chan.

Under the pressure of the Black Dragon’s will, the Spirit-Seeking Rat trembled, looking fearfully at the Black Dragon and Yang Chan. To the rat, their auras were far too powerful.

"This little thing is useful for ordinary people, but it’s useless to you, Master. Your ability to sense changes in Spiritual Qi is far stronger than a Spirit-Seeking Rat’s!"

The Black Dragon flew over to the Spirit-Seeking Rat, then, seeming uninterested, flew back to Yang Chan’s shoulder.

To him, the Spirit-Seeking Rat was too weak to even be worth a second glance.

This was the choice for those who couldn’t perceive changes in Spiritual Qi. The two intruders were such people, and they were also very weak.

"Timid as a mouse, indeed!"

Suddenly, the Black Dragon looked at the Spirit-Seeking Rat. As it had flown back to Yang Chan’s side, the little creature had died.

It had been scared to death, its life force completely gone.

"Are you implying something by comparing me to a Spirit-Seeking Rat?"

Yang Chan said slowly, staring at the Black Dragon.

The Black Dragon had become much more talkative since entering the Secret Realm.

It had been the same when it was talking about Spirit Absorption and Body Casting earlier.

"Master, I didn’t mean that at all! You are so noble and have even cultivated a special Physique. You are truly one of a kind, and your future is limitless!"

"It’s difficult to break the Human-God Boundary on the Taiyu Divine Continent, but you, Master, will surely be the exception! You will definitely break the Human-God Boundary and perhaps even become a legendary True God..."

The Black Dragon caught on and quickly replied.

A torrent of praise flowed from the Black Dragon’s mouth, spoken with extreme fluency. The Black Dragon itself didn’t even notice that this change in its behavior seemed to have come about quite naturally.

Because it had spoken those words subconsciously.

The impulse to compliment Yang Chan had appeared in its mind, and so it had spoken.

"Alright, that’s enough. In this Secret Realm, where do you think a Cross-Realm Teleportation Array is most likely to be located?"

Yang Chan cut off the Black Dragon’s flattery. It was fine to listen to a few compliments, but he couldn’t take them seriously, or he would be the one to suffer for it.

One’s mindset had to be steady, not arrogant and conceited.

People who enjoyed hearing praise were prone to developing arrogant personalities.

"A Cross-Realm Teleportation Array requires a huge amount of energy to support it, so it must be in the place with the most concentrated Spiritual Qi."

"I can sense that the Spiritual Qi concentration is greatest at the central point of these three directions. That’s the most likely place for a Cross-Realm Teleportation Array to be."

"Even if there isn’t a Cross-Realm Teleportation Array, there are bound to be peerless Exotic Treasures. Master, if you want to break through to the Blood Exchange Martial Saint Realm in the future, there will definitely be Cultivation Resources inside, and maybe even some powerful Cultivation Technique legacies from the Human Race."

The Black Dragon pointed in three directions. One was along the path the Merak Sacred Land was currently taking. As for that central location, it wasn’t yet marked on the map in its possession, because no one had gotten close enough.

The Magic Array that the Merak Sacred Land was currently trying to break was a checkpoint blocking their progress. If they wanted to go deeper, they had to break the Array to reach one of the three areas the Black Dragon had indicated.

Yang Chan could sense this as well. He could feel the terrifyingly dense Spiritual Qi in the three areas the Black Dragon had pointed to. They surely contained even more Superior Spiritual Materials, perhaps even Divine Medicine.

"What about the Dragon Race?"

"Have you sensed any members of the Dragon Race in this Secret Realm? What’s their general location?"

Yang Chan hadn’t forgotten his other objective for entering the Purple Void Secret Realm. If he could find a young dragon, he certainly wouldn’t let the opportunity slip by.
