Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Chapter 423: Chapter 276: The Strange Purple Qi Movement, 16 Dharma-Nature Great Cultivation Arrives! (Silver League additions, 34!)_2
He is now located eight hundred miles beneath the surface of the earth.

To their present state of cultivation, the underground is no different from the ocean.

Without special exploration techniques, it wouldn’t be that simple to find him in the undifferentiated underworld.

Even he himself is extraordinarily powerful as a primordial spirit!

But when he goes this deep underground, the distance that his divine sense can cover shortens from a hundred and fifty miles above ground to fifteen miles.

Under these circumstances, the coverage of his divine sense is reduced by more than ninety percent.

Generally speaking, this kind of coverage is like being blind.

Even within his coverage of divine sense, finding him would be no easy task.

Not to mention for others.

Jiang Yuan knew that his primordial spirit was far stronger than the fourfold Dharma Realm, but he didn’t know how strong it truly was.

As a rule, the larger the size of the Yuan spirit in the Lingtai, the stronger the Yuan spirit.

However, there is no absolute measure of the strength of a Yuan spirit.

…

In mid-air.

Sixteen dharma-nature cultivators with great cultivation stood there, their bodies engulfed by an immense aura.

“Chu Xiaoyun, what’s the status? Have you found him?” Elder Lei Ming from the Lei Family asked.

The Lei Family, originally the premier family in Earth-Bearing City, had suddenly fallen to the point of submitting to the insignificant Chu Family.

These past decades, this has been an irksome situation for them.

Their words reveal some of their emotions.

But with the Ancestral Master of the Chu Family present, no matter how upset they are, they can only keep it to themselves.

“He has been located!” Chu Xiaoyun frowned slightly, “But…”

“No buts, just say it directly!” Lei Ming interrupted.

“Daoist Friend Chu, stop beating around the bush and just say it! Are there any issues?” the others chimed in.

“Alright! Let me put it plainly!” Chu Xiaoyun said, “This geomantic compass can’t completely lock onto the exact location of that criminal. It can only pin down a general area.”

“That criminal is within a radius of three thousand miles from where we stand now.”

“That’s simple!” Lei Ming said. “We have more than ten Dharma cultivators here. It’s just three thousand miles, we can finish raking it over in no time.”

“But besides the ground, the underground also might be hiding people!” Chu Xiaoyun expressed his concern.

“Daoist Friend Chu, you worry too much. Let’s rake it over once and then discuss the rest.”

Lei Ming made his point, and then said to the others, “Fellow Daoists, let’s get moving and scour the area in a radius of a thousand miles!”

When he said these words, he slapped his palm towards the ground below.

The interwoven lightning palm instantly collapsed a mountain peak thousands of feet high.

Seeing this, the others didn’t speak further.

They took action one after another.

Underground, Jiang Yuan opened his eyes to reveal his double-pupil enigma.

Looking at the people above taking action, a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

As I thought!

They do not possess any special exploration techniques.

The locking mechanism of the geomantic compass can only lock onto the three thousand miles radius around here.

Such a large area, they won’t find me that easily.

In these circumstances, my heavenly mirror is truly a superior spiritual treasure, it’s so powerful!

It distorted the power of the heavenly machine, so they cannot precisely lock onto my location.

Even Qin Yun’s locator has been distorted as she is close enough to me.

In this case, there’s no need to panic!

Let them take their time searching!

The tables have turned, they are in the open while I hide in the shadows.

After experiencing this, Jiang Yuan understood the power of superior spiritual treasures.

If they had a superior spiritual treasure like the heavenly mirror they could easily find me within a radius of thousands of miles.

…

After one stick of incense’s worth of time.

The three thousand miles radius area was leveled, the earth had sunk several dozen feet.

Lei Ming returned to the side of the Chu Family’s Grand Elder.

“Chu Xiaoyun, are you sure that criminal hasn’t left this place?”

“Daoist Friend Lei Ming, see for yourself!”

As Chu Xiaoyun spoke, he showed Lei Ming the geomantic compass in his hand.

Lei Ming took one look at it and nodded slightly.

“From this, it appears that the criminal is not on the earth’s surface, but must be underground.”

Chu Xiaoyun also nodded: “Most likely.”

“But it’s tough to search in the underground! The deeper we go into the underground, our divine sense will be compressed menacingly. We would be as good as blind!”

Lei Ming said, “We might be blind in the underworld, but the same is true for the criminal.”

“While we know he is within this range, it’s not the same for him. He probably has no idea that he’s walking on a tightrope.”

“We’re hidden, and he’s exposed. As long as we find him, once we attack, even if he’s thousands of miles away, we can easily locate him!”

Chu Xiaoyun nodded: “We have no other choice but to do this!”.

Chu Xiaoyun then began, “Fellow Daoists!”

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——

One by one, the cultivators in the Dharma Realm turned into rainbow lights appearing in front of Chu Xiaoyun.

Chu Xiaoyun bowed and said, “Fellow Daoists, the criminal is undoubtedly underground.”

“So, I request everyone to start from the earth’s surface, each portioning out an area within the three thousand miles, and sweep the divine sense continuously downwards. Make sure no corner is left out!”

Upon hearing this, everyone could only nod their heads in resignation.

They have to comply with Chu Xiaoyun’s arrangement because they have agreed to the Ancestral Master of the Chu family’s assignment.

If they resist and the Chu family’s Ancestral Master comes to their door, it would be disastrous.

When they think of the Ancestral Master’s power, they can’t help but shiver.

A Venerable from the Four Extremes Realm, even if all the Dharma cultivators in the Earth-Bearing City were to fight him, they would simply be courting death.

After the Chu family’s Ancestral Master’s famous battle in the past, no one in the entire Earth-Bearing City dares to question his strength any more.

Not to mention that after so many years, the Ancestral Master of the Chu family must have become even more formidable.

Stronger than before, not weaker!

The various parties conferred and then divided up their districts, each to their own positions.

They commence their entry into the underworld, launching their divine sense, scanning and prospecting in a carpet style.

Watching this, a smile slowly appeared at the corner of Jiang Yuan’s mouth.

Without a spiritual treasure for detection, their way of searching is like being blind, they couldn’t possibly catch me.

After watching for a while, he came to a conclusion.

With their style of downward carpet search, they would need at least two days to find him.

But that’s under the condition that he remains stationary.

But he’s not a fool, so why would he just stay in one place.

Given the current situation, it’s simple to avoid their search.

In the blink of an eye.

Two days later.

Jiang Yuan took a look inside himself and saw that the three drops of spirit marrow jade liquid had fully fermented.

All turned into his cultivation.

The accumulation of his Dharma power cultivation level was more or less as he had expected, reaching sixty-four percent of his target.

Jiang Yuan then glanced upwards, to find out that a cultivator from the fifth stage of the Dharma realm would discover this place in about two hours.
