Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 257: Chapter 251: Earth Shaking and Heaven Trembling, Ten Years of Da Lai! (Double Length)

The vendor knew all about Song Changming’s deeds, but didn’t realize the Song Changming right before his eyes was the Dragon Saber Hero Song he often spoke of.

In this era without the internet, it was common for people to know his name but not his appearance.

This time, Su Qingqing was completely satisfied, holding a candied haw and a sugar figurine.

This journey, Song Changming traveled a thousand miles to witness Gu Wenhui ascending to the throne; naturally, it was not just to join in the excitement.

Witnessing such major events, even without directly participating, brought him actual benefits.

It could improve his annual evaluation to a certain extent, and the rewards would naturally be better.

Of course, these nuances, not even the esteemed Divine Calculator like Li Jinyu, could comprehend his thoughts.

After ascending the throne, Gu Wenhui reorganized the court’s administration.

Some rejoiced while others were troubled.

Numerous high officials and their supporting families suddenly declined, while new elites rose dramatically, becoming prominent figures in the court.

And Gu Wenhui didn’t put down his war saber; he directly dispatched a large army in the name of the new emperor to sweep over the remaining ten or so states and prefectures.

Anyone who did not submit to him was completely eradicated, utterly defeated with overwhelming military force.

These actions had been planned long before the attack on Yunling City.

Once set in motion, it was like thunder, the army invincible, sweeping across all in its path.

Everyone knew that this was likely the final battle for the unification of the Dalai Kingdom!

...

Returning to Wangyue Prefecture, Song Changming soon awaited his annual evaluation.

[Annual Evaluation: A Year of Witnessing History!]

[Martial Arts: This year your Martial Arts Cultivation made significant progress, gathering the fifth Qi Vortex, reaching the fifth layer of Qi Refining, learning and mastering the Third Grade True Yang Technique, and achieving great perfection in the Level Eight Flying Thunder Technique...]

[Combat Achievements: This year your combat achievements were outstanding, you faced Sword Venerable Nan Wuji, and decisively defeated many strong foes from the Outer Domain...]

[Power and Reputation: This year you have become a well-known Martial Arts Powerhouse throughout the land, with your stories recounted everywhere, and your Changming Association has already become a top-tier force in the Jianghu...]

[Family: Alone and solitary, points deducted for loneliness...]

[Events: 1. Contact with the Innate! 2. New emperor’s ascension, establishment of the Dalai Kingdom, witnessing history!]

[Please choose your annual rewards.]

[1, Life Span +5000. 2, Life Span -2000, improve Inner Qi Cultivation. 3, Life Span -3000, can upgrade one related physical trait (Sword Practitioner, Strong and Mighty, Light as Wind, Qi Refiner, Meditator). 4, Consume Life Span -400, attribute points +4.]

[Note: Two of the four options can be chosen as rewards.]

”As expected,” Song Changming thought to himself.

For such a major historical event like establishing a new country, even without being directly involved, just observing and witnessing the process was worthy of an event nomination, greatly enhancing his evaluation score.

Additionally, his breakthrough to the fifth layer of Qi Refining, learning a set of Third Grade Martial Technique, and the duel with the world’s number one Sword Venerable also significantly boosted his annual evaluation score.

The final annual reward brought a sparkle to Song Changming’s eyes.

Although there were no new physical traits, he could further upgrade the green-level physical traits he already had!

This was the reward he had waited for a long time.

The green-level physical traits he had were almost fully developed over the years.

Only the blue-level Dragon Body continued to strengthen his physical potential along with his body refinement process.

But if these green-level physical traits couldn’t continue to be upgraded and strengthened, while the others could be managed, he was most worried about reaching a bottleneck in body refinement and exhausting his body’s potential.

After all, he had already developed his physical strength, especially Qi Power, to the level of Eight Elephants, nearing the strength of Nine Elephant Giant Power.

This was already an unimaginable and terrifying strength for other martial artists.

The extent to which his physical body could be further strengthened in the future completely depended on these physical traits and the bodily potential brought by his Talent Attribute Value.

Even if it required consuming a full three thousand of his life span, he did not hesitate to choose this reward.

The substantial consumption of his life span was indeed painful, but it was equivalent to trading life for talent potential.

The life span he accumulated over the years was still sufficient for such an exchange!

If necessary, he could choose life span extensions in future annual rewards to compensate.

As for the second choice of the four options, he chose the four attribute points that he coveted.

Although he also wanted the reward for improving Inner Qi Cultivation, with his current green-level Qi Refiner physical trait, his daily Inner Qi cultivation speed was already quite fast.

Unless he encountered a major crisis soon that urgently required enhanced cultivation and strength, the priority of the Inner Qi Cultivation reward wasn’t as appealing to him as the four attribute points.

In previous calm five years of seclusion, with not many good annual reward options, he always chose attribute points.

He understood clearly that only by continually accumulating these Talent Attributes could he continually reach higher Martial Tao realms, advancing step by step.

Currently, his Spirit Attribute had reached forty-six points.

His Root Attribute had reached fifty-four points.

He once thought these numbers were already considered quite high.

But it depended on whom he compared them with.

Compared to ordinary martial artists, his Talent Value was certainly a prodigy, standing out from the crowd.

But after wandering around Dragon Gate Ridge, he discovered that his Talent Value wasn’t particularly outstanding among the many Martial Arts Powerhouses from the Outer Domain, not to mention those innate masters from the Ancient Abyss Country.
