Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1001: Chapter 375: [Spiritual Energy Cannon: Level 2] → [Meteor Cannon: Level 3]_4

”So my Gathering Stone is just gone?”

The Soulless Venerable was still displeased. In his view, he was already suffering this loss for the protection of the Joy Palace and Cloud Cliff Temple; otherwise, given his original status as a Loose Cultivator...

Never mind losing a Gathering Stone, it would be hard to find him at all.

Even if found, he could easily escape at any time.

So the unsaid message from the Soulless Venerable was... this loss shouldn’t be solely mine to bear; you, Cloud Cliff Temple, must compensate me!

Even if Cloud Cliff Temple doesn’t compensate me, your Lady of Joy from Joy Palace should!

The Lady of Joy heard the words of the Soulless Venerable and instinctively frowned. She had been trying hard to smooth over the relations between the two sides, but now the Soulless Venerable went and tore open the veil...

He seemed a bit unreasonable.

”Fine, fine, within the sect there’s still a diabolic blood vine, you can take that.”

Qian Array Old Monster was not entirely willing, but didn’t wish for an outbreak over such a small matter.

No matter what, Cloud Cliff Temple now had four Nascent Soul Cultivators.

This level of power is not something to compare to the past.

”Really?!”

Soulless Venerable was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly gave a respectful gesture to Qian Array Old Monster, ”I thank Brother Lu in advance.”

The Lady of Joy glanced around, her mind stirred, suddenly thinking of something, she immediately transmitted her thoughts to those nearby:

”When Brother Lu reports to Joy Palace later, it wouldn’t hurt to say that Soulless fought with the Old Demon of Sea Ruins and was severely injured... perhaps we can ask Black and White Divine Hall for some treasures, to help compensate for Cloud Cliff Temple’s recent losses.”

Qian Array Old Monster heard these words and suddenly raised his head to look at the Soulless Venerable beside him.

The latter quickly reached to cover his chest, his face turning pale as he forcibly coughed up a mouthful of old blood.

”Pfft—”

”The Demon Race harmed me too much!”

Qian Array Old Monster nodded slightly and acknowledged with a ”Hmm,” ”Let’s discuss after returning.”

With that, he turned and flew westward.

The Lady of Joy and Soulless Venerable exchanged a glance, ultimately saying nothing, and both followed closely behind.

...

In the same place, three months later, two figures surfaced from the water.

”Let’s go!”

Without any excess words, Dragon Tyrant transmitted a brief message, then immediately led Ji Yuan eastward. Two months passed like this.

Three Immortal Islands.

”Boom—”

Accompanying the sound of a gentle spray of water exploding was Dragon Tyrant, who couldn’t help but stroke his beard and laugh as soon as he appeared:

”This trip outside was truly worthwhile, it’s a pity indeed that I couldn’t swallow the Soulless Venerable back then, otherwise it would have been truly perfect.”

”But not swallowing him wasn’t bad either; swallowing him would mean endless conflict.”

Dragon Tyrant said this as he turned to toss the black zygomatic bone inscribed with the ”Yin Transformation and Spirit Absorption Book” to Ji Yuan, ”It’s just taking from them, giving the thing back doesn’t make sense.”

”Disciple has already learned this technique, keeping it is useless, better hand it to Uncle Master,” Ji Yuan said, playing along.

”Very well, I’ll study it a bit and return it to you.”

Dragon Tyrant wasn’t one for pretense and casually took back the black zygomatic bone.

”What are you planning next, boy? Going straight back to Bone Nightmare Sect?”

Ji Yuan thought for a moment, and contemplated: ”Disciple wishes to borrow your esteemed place to practice for a while.”

”That’s fine by me.”

”Do you want to cultivate here on Three Immortal Islands or enter my Water Mansion?”

”It’ll be in this Three Immortal Islands.”

Ji Yuan mainly wanted to upgrade the Meteor Cannon first to prevent any unfortunate delays.

”Alright, there are Cave Mansions everywhere, take your pick. If you need anything, just call for me.”

After saying this, Dragon Tyrant transformed into Escape Light and returned to Water Mansion.

Ji Yuan also found a nearby Cave Mansion, set up various arrays, then once again took a stone coffin that isolated Divine Sense out of his Storage Bag, lay inside it, and returned to Mountain of Mind and Heart.

Once he was hidden, he took out the upgrade materials for the Meteor Cannon.

20,000 pieces of Mid-grade Spirit Stones, two pieces of newly acquired Gathering Stones, 10 pounds of Bright Sun Meteorite Rock, plus a Tier Four Demon Pill.

Just after taking out this Tier Four Demon Pill from the Storage Bag, an extremely dense Demon Qi began to spread.

Ji Yuan looked closely, seeming to see a green fish’s phantom inside the Demon Pill.

Presumably, this was the form of the Tier Four Demon Beast.

He then took out a new Level 2 Spiritual Energy Cannon; Dragon Tyrant had gotten a few of these when Water Dragon Sect left, and now it was the perfect time to upgrade them.

”Interface, upgrade for me!”

As his thought landed, the various materials before Ji Yuan turned into ash and dissipated.

Yet immediately this Spiritual Energy Cannon began to transform slowly.

At first, Ji Yuan could still see the original Tier Three Array Patterns on the Spiritual Energy Cannon, but now the extending patterns...

Ji Yuan couldn’t quite recognize them anymore.

He had seen them only in the Tier Four Array Master’s inheritance given by Bone Nightmare Old Demon, and additionally, the original base extending horizontally was now reaching out a second golden base in the north and south directions.

Ji Yuan lowered his head and then lifted it, finding that the single light ring he saw above was now rotating and moving, with a second ring forming, both the same size, connected at both ends, continually rotating and looking quite fascinating.

... Did the Level 3 Meteor Cannon really change this much?

The phenomenon of upgrading lasted for half an incense stick’s worth of time before disappearing. When the upgrade was complete, an entirely new Meteor Cannon appeared before Ji Yuan.

He summoned the interface to glance at the Level 3 Meteor Cannon’s Spirit Effect.

Just one line.

Spirit Effect: Bright Sun Gathering, Meteor Sinking Moon. Maximum ability to annihilate a Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Satisfying!

Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator?
