Eternal Life: I Have the Favor System

’Spiritual Power fluctuations?’

’Could it be a Magical Treasure from one of Yuanchu Mountain’s experts?’

Chu Lingguang wondered.

As a Qi Refining Realm cultivator, he was more sensitive to Spiritual Power than most. He could perceive fluctuations that ordinary people couldn’t detect and use them to gauge the power’s strength.

"I’ll go up and take a look first."

Yang Shaorong volunteered.

As the eldest senior brother, he couldn’t let Chu Lingguang charge ahead. Even though he could sense Chu Lingguang’s strength already surpassed his own, he couldn’t just let his junior brother be the one to face the danger.

VMMM!

Yang Shaorong unleashed his Divine Power. A halo of light appeared around him as his Dharma Aspect and Qi Sea Power erupted with a roar. The surging Spiritual Power fluctuations rolled down the mountain like a volley of arrows, trying to break through his defenses and shove him back down.

"Hmph!"

He took another step forward.

A wave of qi billowed out.

A dragon’s roar echoed from within his Dharma Aspect.

BOOM!

He gathered all his strength and threw a punch forward.

The power from his Dantian seemed to erupt all at once with this punch, as if locking onto the sword on the mountain.

The sword plunged into the ground actually started to waver.

Yang Shaorong quickly advanced.

It was as if he had torn an opening in the path ahead.

But his expression was twisted; he seemed to be enduring immense pain and pressure.

"Eldest Brother!"

Chu Lingguang hurried to follow him.

Yang Shaorong’s strength was much greater than he had imagined.

Unfortunately, Spiritual Power and Qi Sea Power were two fundamentally different types of energy. Yang Shaorong had the strength to break through this barrier if he pushed himself, but by the time he reached the summit, he would likely have exhausted all his power.

He quickly placed a palm on Yang Shaorong’s back.

His own Spiritual Power surged from his palm, forming a Gang Shield that enveloped Yang Shaorong and protected him from the impacts of the Spiritual Power from the mountain.

Yang Shaorong felt the immense pressure on him vanish in an instant.

It was only then that he clearly perceived the world-altering difference between his power and Chu Lingguang’s. It felt like the power of nature’s rebirth, representing life, hope, and every kind of positive energy.

It was so familiar and real that he couldn’t help but let down his defenses.

"Junior Brother!"

Yang Shaorong stared at Chu Lingguang in disbelief.

"Eldest Brother, let’s enter Yuanchu Mountain together!"

Chu Lingguang said with a smile.

"Alright."

Yang Shaorong nodded.

Chu Lingguang poured Spiritual Power into his body without holding anything back. This made Yang Shaorong realize with a jolt that Chu Lingguang’s strength had broken through the peak of the True Martial Realm and reached the Qi Refining Realm.

He saw Chu Lingguang as the same type of person as Guo Wei.

Both of them had used strange, uncanny objects to awaken their powers and successfully step into the Qi Refining Realm. He was a little worried about Chu Lingguang’s situation, afraid he would be discovered by the experts from Yuanchu Mountain.

"Xuanyuan, let’s go!"

Chu Lingguang hadn’t forgotten Xuanyuan Jinkang.

"Mm."

After the thorough beating from Yang Shaorong, Xuanyuan Jinkang had quieted down a lot. The knot in his heart that he could never seem to untie had now been resolved. When he looked at Chu Lingguang, there was no longer any hatred, only deep guilt.

He followed Chu Lingguang, passing through the area under the sword’s influence.

The three of them finally followed the small path.

Slowly, step by step, they walked to the summit.

By this time, other figures were already on the mountaintop.

Yan Zhen and Qin Yu were among them, along with several reclusive and powerful experts from the older generation. This included Wei Yongguang. Even Lin Longde’s master, the retired Military General Bao Zhenhai, had eventually crawled his way to the top.

One familiar figure after another appeared in Chu Lingguang’s line of sight.

Everyone stood on the summit and looked down, only to see the mountain path littered with corpses.

The power of the Qi Refining Realm was an obsession for countless people, the ultimate pursuit for everyone below. With hope in sight, many were willing to sacrifice their lives for it without hesitation.

Most of them were elderly and frail senior experts who had been trapped in the True Martial Realm for many years, having already lost all hope of ever reaching the Qi Refining Realm.

They had placed their hopes on Yuanchu Mountain.

Unfortunately, those who failed to reach the summit all ended up dying on Divine Valley Mountain.

Chu Lingguang, Yan Zhen, and Qin Yu exchanged glances.

They all felt that something was not right.

It seemed like Yuanchu Mountain was truly using this opportunity to kill off the True Martial Realm experts who might have merged with those uncanny objects.

The three of them instinctively looked at the ground on the summit.

A three-hundred-year reincarnation cycle.

And they were now at that point in time.

On their way to Divine Valley Mountain, everyone had seen traces of vines. There were even signs of them here on the summit. However, no one had yet seen the kind of vine roots that could actively chase people in a desperate attempt to merge with a host.

But based on the current situation, with vines even sprouting in the lands of West Warehouse, Chu Lingguang, Yan Zhen, and Qin Yu estimated that the kind of vines that could chase people and actively merge with human experts would probably appear in many places throughout the Great Yuan within a month.

"We’ve reached the summit, so why haven’t we seen any Spiritual Spring Water?"

An expert from overseas with golden hair and a booming voice, who had reached the summit long ago, couldn’t help but ask doubtfully.

When he learned that Yuanchu Mountain was making an exception and recruiting disciples on Divine Valley Mountain, he had rushed back from overseas overnight. He had fought hard to reach the summit, yet there was no sign of the so-called Spiritual Spring Water.

Seeing more and more people arriving at the summit, he couldn’t help but grow anxious.

He was worried he wouldn’t get a share if a fight broke out later.

"That’s right, where’s the Spiritual Spring Water!"

"Has anyone here drunk any?"

"Has anyone seen it?"

"Is this not the summit?"

The crowd chimed in one after another. Some even began to suspect they hadn’t actually reached the summit yet and started to feel their way around, thinking they were trapped in an Illusion Realm.
