Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1042: Chapter 383: Encountering the ”Nine Towers Soul Suppression Sutra” Again!

Can’t wait any longer!

Since sooner or later we have to reach that step, waiting further... delays invite changes!

Thinking this, Qi Xiu, panting heavily, quietly took a drop of Thousand-year-old Spirit Milk, then moved closer and asked, ”That Celestial Killer Mountain cultivator, he should have been dealt with by Brother Qiu, right?”

Ji Yuan, seeing him taking the Thousand-year-old Spirit Milk, also consumed a drop himself.

”By chance, after that fellow arrived here, he bumped into a rotten corpse at the peak of Core Formation, and that’s when I seized the opportunity.” Ji Yuan spoke while reversing his mana, his face suddenly flushed unusually, and spat a mouthful of blood.

”Brother Qiu, are you injured?”

Qi Xiu immediately asked with concern upon seeing this.

”It’s nothing.”

Ji Yuan waved his right hand while clutching his abdomen with his left, spitting another mouthful of blood before saying, ”I forcibly invoked too much Yin Corpse Demon Fire in a short period, harming my meridians—afraid I can’t use this thing shortly.”

Qi Xiu’s heart stirred upon hearing this.

”Indeed, Brother Qiu’s methods are so strong, but the cultivation isn’t keeping up... but it doesn’t matter, as long as Qiu Mou is here!”

While speaking, Qi Xiu patted his chest and laughed, ”As long as Qiu Mou is here, no one can harm Brother Qiu.”

Ji Yuan’s eyes showed a hint of emotion, silently mobilizing the five Canglan Sword Mother Swords within his Dantian, along with the Mountain of Mind and Heart.

He even called up the Dream Butterfly, which had just fallen asleep from consuming Dream Elixir.

Even the two Frost Serpents at Tier Three within the Mountain of Mind and Heart, which hadn’t joined a battle for a long time, were summoned by Ji Yuan to be ready.

Now it seems that the previous fight could only be considered as warming up; the upcoming fight is the real main event.

Though he does not know what prompted Qi Xiu to suddenly want to act, since the other showed signs... Ji Yuan must firmly meet it!

The only bit of a pity is Ji Yuan intended to wait until they entered the Inner Realm to act, then he could also plunder Qi Xiu’s Contribution Points, especially factoring in the accumulation of this third stage; his Contribution Points would be highly considerable... then again, maybe not, the third stage accumulated so much, he might just exchange it all.

In short, one phrase sums it up: when it’s time to kill, kill!

Ji Yuan, while striving to adjust his state, spoke with a moved expression, ”This journey to Rashamon Sea, meeting Brother Qi, is indeed Qiu Mou’s fortune. After this, once we are out, say nothing—Brother Qi must come to Black and White City, and I’ll host, and we brothers shall drink heavily.”

”Of course.”

Qi Xiu laughed, looked around, and then suggested, ”Brother Qiu’s injured, why don’t we rest here for a while? Just as the rotten corpse nearby has been dealt with.”

”Alright, then I’ll trouble Brother Qi to be my Guardian.”

Ji Yuan slightly nodded... looks like it’s going to happen here.

The one needing to adjust state isn’t only him; Qi Xiu fought three rotten corpses at the peak of Core Formation and is also adjusting his state.

It can be said both old foxes already know each other’s thoughts yet have the tacit understanding not to point it out.

Instead, they take the opportunity to restore their own states.

Thus, both sat cross-legged in the void, still sitting facing each other, neither daring to entrust their back to the other, silently regulating their breath.

Qi Xiu arrogantly released his aura at the peak of Core Formation, deterring nearby Core Formation cultivators from approaching.

Thus passed more than half a day; Qi Xiu sensed the situation within his Dantian and, feeling fully restored, suddenly opened his eyes.

And just as he opened his eyes, the opposite Ji Yuan opened his eyes too.

The two exchanged a knowing smile.

Ji Yuan’s Dantian mobilized all 81 Canglan Swords, hanging around his Blood Pill, ready to strike.

”Brother Qiu seems somewhat skeptical of me?”

Qi Xiu said with a smile that wasn’t a smile.

”Why would I? In Rashamon Sea, only Brother Qi is my dearest friend, blood brother. If I don’t trust you... then who?”

”Then why... won’t you turn your back on me?”

As Qi Xiu continued, his voice became more ethereal; as it fell, he used his mind to invoke his Divine Soul Secret Technique!

In his sea of consciousness above, the Divine Soul sitting in the void continually exuded traces of Divine Soul Qi, which eventually gathered in front of it, forming a long spear.

”Go!”

In the sea of consciousness, the Divine Soul uttered majestic words, like an order of a true god!

The spear shot out, piercing through the flesh, aiming straight for Ji Yuan’s sea of consciousness.

At that moment, a spear appeared out of nowhere in Ji Yuan’s sea of consciousness, pointing at his Divine Soul.

As the spear swept past, Ji Yuan’s sea of consciousness surged, as if rising tumultuous waves.

”Boom—”

Ultimately, the long spear was blocked by the Soul Suppressing Bell outside Ji Yuan’s Divine Soul, the spear pierced the bell, producing a deep yet piercing sound.

The Soul Suppressing Bell roared.

The Divine Soul trembled.

Almost instantly, Ji Yuan bled from his seven orifices—it’s actually a Divine Soul attack!

Qi Xiu’s previously invisible enemy-slaying cultivation technique, turned out to be the Divine Soul Technique!

Could it be, the inheritance from Yin Ghost Sect on him is also the ”Nine Seals Soul-Pacifying Scripture”?

Though seemingly injured, it didn’t truly impact; Ji Yuan suddenly looked up at Qi Xiu opposite, excitement in his eyes.

But compared to Qi Xiu who exerted great effort in using the Divine Soul Secret Technique, his face was filled with disbelief.

”You... why aren’t you dead?!”

”Haha, the strongest spear met the strongest shield... what do you think, my most beloved Brother Qi?”

As Ji Yuan’s words fell.

Six purple-blue mixed Canglan Swords hovered.

The sword tips, all aimed at Qi Xiu opposite!
