Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 981: Chapter 371: Breakthrough, Late-stage Muscle Forging Realm

Ji Yuan: ”Senior, you are right.”

”...How did a weakling like you find this Martial God Tower? I’m freaking impressed, I waited so long, why did such a useless person like you show up!”

This voice sounded extremely pained.

Ji Yuan: ”...”

”What kind of Body Cultivation Technique are you practicing? You can’t even beat an Armored Warrior of the same realm. Has the outside world degraded this much after several eras of absence?”

Ji Yuan remained silent, merely operating the ”Nine Revolutions Profound Yang,” and began performing Pile Skills on the second floor of the Martial God Tower to restore his heavily injured body.

But just as he started the Pile Skills.

This voice sounded a bit puzzled.

”Eh?”

”This Pile Skill, this technique... ’Nine Revolutions Profound Yang Skill’??? You damn bastard, you’re actually practicing the ’Nine Revolutions Profound Yang Skill,’ damn it, such a technique has been trained by you to the level of a dog’s crap. If that person knew, they would definitely come down here and crush you to death.”

”Ahhhhh, you old worthless waste!!!”

...That person? Which person?

Was it the powerful figure that walked out from the [Pigsty]?

Before Ji Yuan could ask, he found himself surrounded by many Bronze Armored Warriors appearing out of thin air.

”Ah!”

He immediately became alert, quickly withdrawing to the corner, securing a slightly safer environment for himself.

”Kill! You’ve already cultivated the ’Nine Revolutions Profound Yang’ to the second revolution, yet you haven’t even managed to create one Great Sun. You are truly a useless bastard, having failed to cultivate the first Great Sun, don’t talk to me anymore. Talking to you makes me feel ashamed!”

The voice carried a tone of frustration and disappointment.

Ji Yuan: ”Huh???”

”By the way, others who come in have the option to exit and surrender, but not you. From now on, once you’ve entered this Martial God Tower, there are only two paths: either you kill all these warriors, or you get killed by them.”

Once the voice said this, it fell silent.

”Senior, Senior!”

Ji Yuan still shouted a few times, but there was no response.

”You should at least tell me how to cultivate the Great Sun!”

No matter how much Ji Yuan shouted, that fellow remained silent, like he was dead.

Ji Yuan had no choice but to kill with all his might. During the several times he tried to leave, it was just like the Artifact Spirit said... previously Ji Yuan could still find that feeling of being able to leave.

But now, that feeling was completely gone.

Arriving at the second floor, there wasn’t even a door, nor was there a Teleportation Array.

It seemed that the only way was indeed to kill them, or be killed by them... and so Ji Yuan was undoubtedly killed by them.

Because with so many Bronze Armored Warriors, even if his Body Cultivation techniques were strong... alright, compared to magic techniques, Ji Yuan felt his body techniques seemed to lack techniques.

Thus, after killing more than thirty Bronze Armored Warriors, the exhausted Ji Yuan was finally pierced by several Bronze Long Sabers into his body.

Ending his sinful life.

”...”

”Ah!!!”

In the [Martial Arts Arena], Ji Yuan shouted once, abruptly standing up; the only response came from the echo within the empty Cave Mansion.

He gasped loudly, hastily spreading his hands, looking down.

Luckily, his body was fine, the Golden Core inside him was intact, but his Physique Cultivation had indeed advanced to the late-stage Muscle Forging Realm.

”In this light, the Martial God Tower is truly a miraculous place.”

Without physically entering, but the final results can still reflect on the body, and it only reflects the good, not the bad... for Ji Yuan’s cultivation had improved, but there was no injury.

”I feel like this Martial God Tower isn’t something that belongs to the Human Realm, perhaps it’s from the realm my master spoke of... the Immortal Realm?”

In Ji Yuan’s view, this miraculous functionality likely came from the Immortal Realm.

But regardless of where it came from, if it can enhance my strength, it’s a good thing.

Gradually, Ji Yuan’s mood calmed down, slowly escaping the perilous life-and-death situation, he turned around and decided not to remain in the [Martial Arts Arena].

Having just experienced death inside here, Ji Yuan now found this place terrifying.

After leaving the [Martial Arts Arena], he headed to the [Meditation Room] to use its Spirit Effect to further calm his mind.

There’s no helping it, facing the great terror between life and death.

Ji Yuan had just undergone such a terrifying experience; at the moment those Bronze Long Sabers pierced into his body, the sensation was... he truly felt dead.

And it was a completely thorough death.

Even when waking up inside the [Martial Arts Arena], he still felt dazed.

Now it’s much better, especially with the [Meditation Room] calming his heart, making Ji Yuan gradually rid himself of the painful feeling.

But when he emerged, he realized, that experience between life and death.

Whether it was for his magic cultivation or his state of mind, it was of great benefit.

Simply put: I’ve experienced death, what else is there to fear?

Once his mood stabilized, Ji Yuan began assessing his internal state... late-stage Muscle Forging Realm, truly, no matter how good the body refining methods are, they can’t match the speed of life-and-death combat.

But this point has a prerequisite: the Qi and Blood have to keep up.

Once the Qi and Blood can’t keep up, then you can only refine the physique and combat skills.

Yet, what did that suspected Artifact Spirit in the Martial God Tower mean by ”cultivate the Great Sun”?

According to its tone at the time, it seems each revolution of ”Nine Revolutions Profound Yang” should yield a Great Sun. Now I’m at two revolutions, late-stage Muscle Forging Realm, so I should be able to cultivate two Great Suns.
