“Brother E is here too, what a coincidence.”
One of the men who entered the door exchanged greetings with Yue Zutao and then waved to E Yun.
“Nice to meet you, Brother Zhou.”
Although he had never met him, Chen Mobai had already guessed who this grizzly bear-like young man with a hawkish nose and a tiger-like build was.
“Brother Chen, we are meeting for the first time, but I have heard much about you.”
Zhou Wangshen finally greeted Chen Mobai with a smile. Pretending not to recognize him, Chen Mobai looked surprised after E Yun’s introduction and got up to respond. &
“This is Wu Zeyang, who was not part of the twelve divisions, but was lucky enough to succeed in Foundation Establishment this year.”
The young man who came in with Zhou Wangshen respectfully greeted the three people present one by one.
“Brother Yue, Brother E, Brother… Chen.”
Finally, when facing Chen Mobai, he hesitated. After all, he was a True Disciple of the same generation as Zhou Wangshen and E Yun. But thinking about the rules of Tianhe Realm, where the achiever leads, he finally called him Brother.
“You two are too kind, please sit down.”
As the host, Yue Zutao prepared two more chairs, and the five of them sat in his…

Brother E Yun, it’s such a coincidence that you’re here too.”
One of the people who entered the gate greeted Yue Zutao, then greeted E Yun.
“Nice to meet you, Brother Zhou.”
Although they haven’t met before, Chen Mobai had already guessed who this young man with a high nose and a sturdy body was.
“Brother Chen, although this is our first meeting, I have long heard of your name.”
Zhou Wangshen then laughingly greeted Chen Mobai, who pretended not to recognize him. Only after E Yun’s introduction did he express surprise and greeted him back.
“This is Wu Zeyang, he is not a part of the twelve parts, but he successfully established his foundation this year.”
The youth who came in with Zhou Wangshen respectfully greeted the three present one by one.
“Brother Yue, Brother E, Brother… Chen.”
When it came to Chen Mobai, he hesitated a bit. After all, he was a true disciple from the same batch as Zhou Wangshen and E Yun. Nonetheless, given the rules of Tianhe Realm, where the superior rank prevails, he decided to address him as a brother in the end.
“You’re too kind. Please have a seat.”
The host of the gathering, Yue Zutao, brought over two more chairs. The five of them sat in his cluttered yard, starting their friendly chat.
The reason Zhou Wangshen brought Wu Zeyang here was the same. They hoped that Yue Zutao, being an experienced hand, could dissuade young disciples who wanted to choose the Longevity Technique fruit.
“Brother Chen, if you can acquire the Longevity Tree sap in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, I’d be willing to exchange a thousand Spirit Stones for each drop.”
As they left, Chen Mobai was still perplexed about why Zhou Wangshen had made this offer. E Yun, however, looked surprised and murmured to himself.
“It seems he has begun cultivating the ‘Taoist Body of Longevity’!”
What is the Taoist Body of Longevity?”
E Yun brought Chen Mobai to his court, where Yuan Chiye was already waiting. After the three sat down, he began to explain the concept of the “Taoist Body of Longevity”.
“Our Divine Wood Sect’s scripture of Immortality was actually evolved from an ancient spell, called the ‘Technique of Long Life’, that even a True Monarch had to cultivate diligently for centuries to master.”
“Once this Technique of Long Life is mastered, not only you can maintain your youth forever, but you also can extend your lifespan by one-third at your current realm. The higher the realm, the longer the lifespan added.”
“The most astonishing aspect of the Technique of Long Life is that once it is mastered, even if your head is chopped off or your heart is shattered, you will not die as long as there is a breath of elemental energy left within you. It is said that if this technique is mastered at its highest realm, one can regenerate from a drop of blood and become immortal.”
After hearing this, Chen Mobai and Yuan Chiye were both taken aback as they did not know this secret before.
“But what does this have to do with the Taoist Body of Longevity?”
Upon hearing this, E Yun took a sip of his tea and sighed lightly.
“We, the successors, do not have the astonishing talent of the True Monarch so we are unable to practice the ‘Technique of Long Life’. Therefore, some wise predecessors split it into the ‘Scripture of Immortality’ and the ‘Taoist Body of Longevity’.”
“The former is for Qi Cultivation, the latter for Body Forging. Once these two are practiced to the highest realm simultaneously, one can attempt to merge them and recreate the ‘Technique of Long Life’.”
“However, this is just a speculation. After all, no one in our Divine Wood Sect even practiced the ‘Scripture of Immortality’ to its highest realm, let alone the more difficult ‘Taoist Body of Longevity’.”
Chen Mobai knew that the Scripture of Immortality has twenty realms. The highest achiever of the Divine Wood Sect, Old Ancestor Zhou, only reached the seventeenth realm.
“Does the Taoist Body of Longevity also have twenty realms?”
E Yun shook his head and held up three fingers.
“The Taoist Body of Longevity is divided into three realms: Ageless, Immortal Eternal, corresponding to Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul respectively.”
This was a simple and clear explanation, but Chen Mobai suspected that those who divided the Technique of Longevity probably had a deeper understanding of Qi Cultivation, but a relatively weak understanding of body forging, so they hastily divided it this way.
“The sap of the Longevity Tree is the best spiritual object to assist in the cultivation of the Taoist Body of Longevity. Wu Zeyang succeeded in building his foundation this time, Zhou Wangshen probably offered his support so that he could enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm and help him get the Longevity Tree sap.” y
After hearing E Yun’s words, Chen Mobai now fully understood.
However, he shook his head. Although he was very fond of Spirit Stones, opportunities like the Divine Tree Secret Realm weren’t to be squandered for others.
“In the Divine Tree Secret Realm, everyone can get a spiritual object under the Magic Treasure Tree. The Talent Tree and the Dao Tree depend on your own luck. Although all those who enter are sect disciples, if you meet each other, you should look after each other.”
In conclusion, E Yun shared his own experiences. Chen Mobai and Yuan Chiye nodded, promising that if they encountered each other inside, they would stick together.
Time flew by quickly.
The opening of the Divine Tree Secret Realm approached in an instant.
On that day, Chen Mobai bid farewell to E Yun and Zhuo Ming, and he and Yuan Chiye arrived at the Shenmu Hall to wait.
Wu Zeyang had also arrived early.
Another newbie who had just completed his Foundation Establishment was a true disciple in the alchemy division of the previous batch named Yan Jinye, who seemed a bit carefree sister.
It appeared that she and Wu Zeyang were on good terms. After arriving at the
Shenmu Hall, they started talking together.
“Presumably, Brother Zhou has also asked her.”
Yuan Chiye guessed, given that as an alchemist, Yan Jinye was even more likely to obtain the Longevity Tree sap.
“Now that everyone is here, follow me..”
