Chapter 984: Leaving the Tie Family For (1/2)
One thing that astonished Huang Xiaolong from the books he read was the fact that a Heavenly God’s lifespan was generally around ten thousand years in the Divine World!
And the longest a Highgod Realm cultivator could live here was three hundred years!
As for the God Realm, Saint realm, and Xiantian realm cultivators, they resembled the ordinary folks in the lower realm, rarely was there someone who could live to reach their hundredth birthday!
Why was it so? Huang Xiaolong guessed that it may be related to the Divine World’s space laws. Every living being in the Divine World consumed many times more energy in every breath they took compared to the lower realm. One hundred years was probably the limit for a God Realm or Saint realm cultivator’s body.
The other question was, if the longest a Highgod Realm cultivator could live was three hundred years, then how did one calculate the lifespan of those who had ascended from the lower realm? How did one go about calculating their age?
The majority of the ascended cultivators had been cultivating for over ten thousand years in the lower realm, probably even a hundred thousand years, or two hundred thousand years.
One such person was the Fortune Gate Ancestor who had yet to ascend, but had already stepped into the Highgod Realm ten thousand years ago.
Would their actual age be scaled down to a thousandth? Those over ten thousand years old in the lower realm would be one hundred when they arrived at the Divine World?
The books he had read did not mention anything about people who ascended, thus Huang Xiaolong did not have an accurate answer for this matter.
He continued going through the books in the library for some time until the sky darkened. Only then did he leave and return to his courtyard, continuing tomorrow.
A while after he returned to his courtyard, a maid arrived to bring his dinner. The food in the Divine World was quite similar to the lower realm, except the size of the rice grain here was three to four times bigger. Nurtured by the rich spiritual energy of the Divine World, every single grain glistened with a beautiful sheen akin to pearls, exuding a tantalizing fragrance.
Inside the stomach, the rice turned into warm streams of energy that spread throughout Huang Xiaolong’s body.
Naturally, even in the Divine World, there was a difference between good and bad grains. For instance, the rice the Tie Family Fort maid brought was called dragon tooth rice, a top quality grain. Consuming dragon tooth rice nourished one’s vitality and strengthened the body.
Even better than top quality grain was the wondrous superior grain, whose long term consumption would increase a person’s longevity. However, the price of superior grain was thousands of times higher than top quality rice, a force like the Tie Family Fort couldn't afford such an expense. On this Green Cloud Island, the the three great sects’ disciples were probably the only ones who could enjoy such a luxury.
Although living in the Divine World consumed a lot of energy, Huang Xiaolong had regained his strength; eating one meal per day was sufficient for him.
Just like the night before, Huang Xiaolong spent his time cultivating.
Early next day, when he arrived at the library, Tie Yang walked straight up to him with the same perfection stage late-Tenth Order Highgod Realm guard captains following behind him.
Tie Yang extended an arm, blocking Huang Xiaolong’s path, commanding in an icy tone, “Brat, I don’t care who you are, I’m giving you a final warning. If you don’t voluntarily get out of our Tie Family Fort by sunset, I will make you regret you were ever born in this world!”
Huang Xiaolong glanced sideways at Tie Yang, “If you don’t take the initiative to get out of my face, I will make sure you regret being born in this world right now!”
“What?!”
“Brat, you’re seeking death!”
The two guard captains behind Tie Yang immediately exuded their pressure on Huang Xiaolong.
“Tie Yang, what are you doing?!” Right at this time, a voice reprimanded from afar. A second later, Tie Mu’s figure appeared.
“Young fort lord.” The three people ganging up on Huang Xiaolong were forced to stop, greeting Tie Mu.
Tie Mu stopped in front of them, snapping, “Tie Yang, this is the Tie Family Fort! Fighting inside the Tie Family Fort for personal reasons, do you want to be locked up in the ice dungeon for a decade?”
Tie Yang and the two guards immediately clamored they dared not.
“Young fort lord, if there’s nothing more, we’ll first take our leave.” Finished saying that, Tie Yang led the two guard captains away. When he was passing by Huang Xiaolong’s side, he sneered openly, “Brat, don’t think the young fort lord and young miss can protect you for a lifetime. Wait till you step out of the Tie Family Fort, let’s see who can protect you then!”
Seeing that Tie Yang actually dared to threaten Huang Xiaolong in his presence, anger burned in Tie Mu’s heart.
