Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 619: Chapter 276: Star Absorption Technique?

“Situ Feng was killed by Kong Xifeng. You can rest assured. Moreover, who would’ve thought that old woman Kong Xifeng could act so well, fooling that simpleton Situ Feng completely.”

Ji Yuan had received Hua Yaoyue’s communication shortly after returning to Wuyou Island.

…So Situ Feng is dead just like that?

Holding the Communication Talisman in his hand, Ji Yuan felt a bit dazed for a moment.

He originally thought that even if Situ Feng were to die, it would be after many twists and turns, at least after several comebacks and reversals, only to be arduously slain at the end.

Or perhaps Kong Xifeng would go to kill him, but he would use various means to escape.

But to think he really died just like that?

A Nascent Soul Monster who had taken over a new body to cultivate anew, yet still a Nascent Soul Monster, really died just like that.

Indeed, this was the first Nascent Soul Monster Ji Yuan knew of to die.

Ji Yuan still found it hard to believe, so he sent a message to Hua Yaoyue, asking, “Master, is there a chance that Situ Feng isn’t dead, and that only a clone of his died, or he used other means to escape?”

Hua Yaoyue’s reply came back quickly.

“I watched from the side. Are you questioning your master’s abilities or your master’s eyes?”

Ji Yuan: “I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare. How dare this disciple question master.”

“Heh, generally speaking, a Nascent Soul demon who can take over a body is not simple, except for the ones in the Shang Court… Never mind, I’m too lazy to explain to you. Anyway, before you have Nascent Soul strength, if you encounter a Nascent Soul cultivator who’s taken over a body, just run as far as possible.”

Hua Yaoyue didn’t want to explain, and indeed did not explain.

Ji Yuan could only agree.

After that, he didn’t send another message and put away his Communication Talisman.

On second thought, it made sense. If it were someone else, even a Peak Golden Core Cultivator trying to deal with this Nascent Soul Monster, the monster might escape.

But who was it that acted this time against this Nascent Soul Monster?

Another Nascent Soul, someone who had been at the Nascent Soul Stage for centuries and was at the end of their lifespan, with countless means beyond this?

… But as it seems now, Nascent Souls can be killed too, so what’s there to fear?

Improve oneself and annihilate all enemies.

This is the true path of cultivation!

For a moment, Ji Yuan felt a bit clearer and brighter about the path he was to take in the future. He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Just like Hua Yaoyue warned, Shangxi was going to launch a full-scale assault.

Shang Mountain… probably couldn’t hold out much longer either.

It’s still best to quickly improve one’s strength.

Ji Yuan then went to the Meditation Room, taking out a small piece of finger bone left by the old demon who crossed the sea, and with his Divine Sense, extracted a Token from the Yin Ghost Sect from it.

Previously, he had only injected a trace of Spiritual Qi, so the spiritual door that appeared out of thin air didn’t last long.

What if he continuously injected Spiritual Qi and increased its input?

Since a door appeared, Ji Yuan felt an urge to push it open and see what lay beyond.

If it was an opportunity, needless to say, he would refine it immediately.

But the likelihood of that was small; if it were, the old demon who crossed the sea would have taken it long ago.

As for danger, Ji Yuan was not afraid.

As Spiritual Qi poured in abundantly, a mass of Yin Energy reappeared from the Skull Token, forming a double-leafed bronze door hovering above it.

The door remained only for a breath’s time.

“Ssshhh—”

Vanished into thin air.

The Spiritual Qi Ji Yuan injected seemed to vanish without a trace, yielding no result.

’It seems unrelated to the amount of Spiritual Qi injected; ultimately, the trigger condition is incorrect. To succeed, one should rely on different methods.’

Since it’s something of the Yin Ghost Sect, Ji Yuan brought the Token to the Chaotic Burial Mound.

He dug out the Thousand Souls Banner and the Yin Ghost Banner from this cemetery.

He first summoned a Qi Cultivation Stage Yin Soul from the Thousand Souls Banner and then reactivated the portal, forcing the Yin Soul to crash into the door just as it was about to dissipate.

The result… the Yin Soul and the door vanished together.

“Ah, damn it.”

He wasted a Yin Soul for nothing and gained nothing, making Ji Yuan angry.

But in a fit of rage, he could only be angry for a moment.

He dared not continue the experiment with the remaining two Yin Ghosts. There were only two of these; if one died here, it wouldn’t just reduce Ji Yuan’s means and strength.

It could even weaken the Yin Ghost Array because of it.

If he was to create another Yin Ghost…

It would be against the natural order.

Having no other way, Ji Yuan had to store the Token back into his Storage Bag and save the challenge for another day to see if he could unlock its mystery.

Next, he returned to the Enlightenment Room.

He took out that pure black cheekbone from the Finger Bone Space, which still felt a bit cool to the touch, and upon closer inspection, he could see many small characters and some strange runes etched on it.

Even before starting the transmission, Ji Yuan could already sense the profound aura emanating from the cheekbone.

Inherited knowledge.

The transmission of a Nascent Soul Technique; such a thing could be called a great opportunity of the Dao.

And now, Ji Yuan held one such opportunity in his hand… Once he calmed his mind, he injected a thread of Spiritual Qi into it, and immediately a black halo lit up around the cheekbone, particularly noticeable in the Enlightenment Room.

The cheekbone, previously held in his hand, now floated up from his grasp, finally hovering before him.

As Ji Yuan sent his Divine Sense into it, an enormous surge of obscure and difficult memory rushed in, cramming into his sea of consciousness.
