Long Zai Tian came out of the cave and sneaked back to the shore of the lake. Under the scorching sun, he walked slowly along the lakeside to the place where he had just entered the water. He saw his family walking back and forth by the lakeside.
Seeing Long Zai Tian return, Great Grandfather asked him with a little blame,""Why did you go down for so long? It's been an hour. If you don't come back soon, we'll have to get someone to go down.”
"We'll be able to keep track of the time while exploring inside.”Long Zai Tian replied.
"What's it like inside? Was there any danger? Don't you find it difficult to breathe after hiding down there for so long?”Long Zai Tian's father immediately grabbed his hand and asked.
" There are many kinds of fish in there," Long Zai Tian said evasively." Some of them weigh two to three hundred pounds. Among them, I found two giant yellow carps in the lake. According to my estimation, they weigh about two thousand pounds." Moreover, it was too dark under the water, so they couldn't see their surroundings clearly. In addition, this Immortal Lake was filled with spiritual energy, so no one knew if there were any water monsters inside! Therefore, I didn't go far underwater. When I found the source of the spiritual water, I was attracted by the scenery there. When I woke up, I found that my inner strength had already broken through to the half-step Dan Jin realm and my martial arts realm had reached the half-step Spirit Concentration realm. I felt that it was a little difficult to breathe underwater, so I immediately dived up and slowly returned here.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, especially Great Grandpa, who immediately grabbed Long Zai Tian's hand and asked,""Have you really broken through to half-step Dan Jin?”
Seeing Long Zai Tian nod his head, Great Grandfather smiled happily and said,""As long as Little Tian is here, our Long Clan will have no problems passing down our lineage for a thousand years.”
When the others heard their great-grandfather's words, they all revealed happy expressions. This was because their family's future was limitless! "Grandpa, why do you say that?" Fourth Uncle asked.”
At this moment, Grandpa immediately took over Great-Grandpa's words and said to everyone,"Everyone knows that we martial artists live longer than the average person except for being injured or killed. We can usually live to around 100 years old, and some can even live to around 120 years old. Now, I will tell you the general knowledge of martial arts. When a martial artist's inner force reaches the level of internal force, they can live up to 100 to 130 years old. Martial artists who had reached HuaJin could live to around 130 to 180 years old. Martial artists who had reached Dan Jin in their inner strength could live to around 200 to 280 years old. As for how long the warriors above Dan Jin can live in the future, I'm not sure.”
Long Zai Tian said,"Elders, according to the description in the Shennong Scripture, Internal Force users are generally divided into four stages of the eighth rank. Martial Artist, Bright Force, Dark Force, Transform Force, Dan Force, Divine Force, Saint Force, and Dao Force. Each step was divided into four sections: front, middle, and back. Just now, his grandfather had mentioned that the lifespan of a martial artist was about the same. Of course, the average lifespan of a Dan Jin martial artist was about 400 years old. However, the nameless old man in the stone house was a martial artist at the peak of Dan Jin, but he had lived to 558 years old. He had lived for so long because he had eaten those precious spiritual fruits and drunk the water of the Immortal Lake. On the other hand, Divine Jing martial artists could live for five to six hundred years. Saint Force martial artists could live up to eight or nine hundred years old. There was no record of a Dao warrior in the books, but he should be able to live for more than a thousand years! Therefore, our Long Family must strengthen the cultivation of our family's martial arts in the future. Don't think that in this era of foreign guns and cannons, the effect of cultivating martial arts is not great. Whether it's in the army, politics, business, or to have a healthy body and longevity, we have to strengthen our martial arts. In the future, our family's people must be both civil and martial. As long as we can become neutralizing Jin martial artists, we will be a threat to the other families. This way, our family can grow healthily and stand tall in the world.”
After everyone heard what Long Zai Tian said, they were so happy that they clapped. Everyone's heart was also surging with emotions. They made up their minds to practice martial arts diligently and supervise their family members 'practice!
It was autumn, and the weather was clear and sunny. Ripples rippled on the surface of the Immortal Lake. On the shore of the lake, there were all kinds of waterfowls, doing their own things. Some stretched out their necks to catch insects, and some spread their wings to bask in the sun.
"Wow, so many waterbirds!" Long Zai Tian was the first to wake up from everyone's conversation just now. He cried out in surprise when he saw these waterbirds.
"Nature is truly a divine work of art. Who would have thought that there would be such a huge immortal lake and such a huge treasure house in the Yi Mountain Range?" Great Grandpa sighed. Generally speaking, it was difficult to accumulate so much lake water in such mountains. Moreover, the water was filled with all kinds of fish and animals. This meant that the lake had existed for a long time. It might have been formed by mountain building!
Just as everyone was talking, a flock of birds flew over from the sky. Thousands of birds fell from the sky. Long Zaitian found dozens of red-crowned cranes, which stopped about ten meters away from them. Long Zai Tian slowly walked over. The red-crowned cranes immediately flapped their wings and surrounded him. They were not afraid of strangers at all and seemed very happy. Long Zai Tian thought that it was probably the aura that appeared on his body when he was about to break through to Dan Jin that attracted them.
Long Zaitian, who had the memories of his previous life, knew how precious red-crowned cranes were. They were classified as first-class protected animals by the country. If he were to open a farmhouse in the Long Family Brigade and organize people to hunt in the mountains, it would be very popular. Of course, this was just his imagination. In the future, he would send his clan's elites to guard this Immortal Valley, making it a forbidden area for the clan like the Long Clan Ancestral Hall.
Everyone ate some dry rations and decided to go home. In the future, when everyone's martial strength increased, they would explore those unknown secret areas. Thus, everyone went to the courtyard of the stone house and picked some tea leaves and three 200-year-old ginsengs again. They placed them in the bags and wooden boxes that they had prepared.
Long Zaitian first went to the stone house to take a look, but there was not much change inside. Everyone stood outside the courtyard and paid their respects to the nameless old man's grave. Then, they made a stone door to block the stone house. Everyone took their gains from the past two days and went out of the cave one by one. After everyone came out, Long Zai Tian blocked the entrance of the cave with a huge rock that weighed a thousand pounds and went out with everyone. When everyone arrived outside the mountain, they noticed that the climate, temperature, and air scenery outside the valley were different! It was a little windy outside, but the valley was as warm as spring. This was really a paradise!
