Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1148: Chapter 405: Farewell to Qiu Qianhai

”You have some knowledge. Our Yin Ghost Sect actually originates from the Central Continent, and it is one of the top Immortal Sects there, even considered a top sect among the Human Realm... a Lower Sect.”

”Ssss—”

Ji Yuan took a deep breath, visibly surprised.

But this also made him understand why the Yin Ghost Sect could bring mystical artifacts like the Chasing Lightning Cloud and the Star-Stepping Wheel here.

Since they originate from the Central Continent, these things are normal, and it’s understandable.

The Ghost Envoy was satisfied with Ji Yuan’s reaction and continued:

”The final step needed for my master’s resurrection requires the help of numerous Divine Souls. Fortunately, everything succeeded.”

”You also contributed quite a lot.”

As the Ghost Envoy spoke, he stepped forward and patted Ji Yuan’s shoulder.

”However, although my master has been resurrected, he still lacks a suitable body.”

While speaking, the Ghost Envoy turned to look at Ji Yuan, as if trying to gauge his reaction.

Unfortunately, this time Ji Yuan had no reaction at all.

He simply said with a blank expression:

”The Yin Ghost Sect is the Lower Sect of a top Immortal Sect on the Central Continent. Then the Nightmare True Monarch, who founded the Nightmare Sect back then, is actually part of the Lower Sect of the Yin Ghost Sect.”

”Nightmare True Monarch wanted to seize Bone Nightmare Old Demon’s body to refine the Second Nascent Soul. After failing, he set his sights on Qiu Qianhai. Bone Nightmare Old Demon also targeted Ma Gui.”

”According to the senior’s intentions, it seems the Sect Leader of Yin Ghost Sect actually has a similar plan.”

Ji Yuan showed a complicated smile.

”This really is... a lineage passed down, huh.”

”You’re half-right,” the Ghost Envoy didn’t find this inappropriate.

In the Cultivation Realm, body possession and rebuilding are quite commonplace.

Even the trope of masters seizing disciples’ bodies is fairly common.

There’s nothing surprising about it.

”Although Qiu Qianhai’s body was refined by Zhou Chu quite well, it still isn’t suitable as my master’s new body.”

”After all, not just anyone’s body is worthy of my master residing in.”

... Heh, if he’s so incredible, why did he die?

Ji Yuan internally mocked but remained expressionless as he asked, ”Since that’s the case, I wonder what the senior’s purpose in taking Qiu Qianhai is?”

”My master needs to return to the Central Continent, where a new body will be prepared for him... and beneath here, there’s an array that directly connects to the Central Continent.”

”My master’s Divine Soul cannot use the Teleportation Array, so he must temporarily borrow Qiu Qianhai’s body to teleport to the Central Continent.”

The Ghost Envoy pointed to the ground, then continued with hands behind his back:

”Don’t look so mournful; this is actually a great opportunity for Qiu Qianhai. Being able to go to the Central Continent is the lifelong pursuit and dream of many cultivators.”

”Aside from that, the richness of Spiritual Qi on the Central Continent is several times that of the Jiyuan Continent.”

”Once Qiu Qianhai arrives there and stays by my master’s side, it’s definitely better than fighting for his life on the Jiyuan Continent.”

”If you don’t work harder in your cultivation... you might only hear tales of him in the Human Realm in the future.”

Ji Yuan initially felt stirred by the speech but then reconsidered.

A carrot on a stick, who wouldn’t use that tactic?

If you were more audacious, you might as well say that once Qiu Qianhai reaches the Central Continent, he’ll be accepted as a direct disciple by a Mahayana Cultivator.

However, the fact that there’s an array beneath the Rashamon Sea that directly connects to the Central Continent was unexpected to Ji Yuan.

Previously, it was already exceedingly difficult for the Black and White Divine Hall to lay out an array spanning the Jiyuan Continent and the Cangluo Continent.

Let alone an array that directly connects Jiyuan Continent to Central Continent.

The distance between Jiyuan Continent and Central Continent should be greater than the distance to Cangluo Continent, shouldn’t it?

”According to the senior, is Qiu Qianhai unharmed?”

Ji Yuan asked.

”Unharmed.”

”Just traveling from Jiyuan Continent to Central Continent and gaining significant opportunity.”

The Ghost Envoy’s tone remained casual.

Ji Yuan took a deep breath and asked again, ”Has he already set out, or has he not left yet? If not, may I see him once more?”

The Ghost Envoy squinted at Ji Yuan, seemingly making some kind of decision.

Just then, Ji Yuan suddenly felt a strong vibration from beneath the ground.

The sensation was identical to what he felt when he was on the Star-Stepping Wheel earlier.

Instinctively lowering his head, he saw the plaza shaking at a visibly fast speed.

”Boom—”

A massive roaring sound erupted shortly after.

Ji Yuan instinctively looked up, only to see a dazzlingly giant white pillar of light deeper in the plaza, piercing the clouds and thrusting straight into the endless void.

At this moment, Ji Yuan gazed up at the scene.

He had but one thought in his mind.

Under the immense light pillar, he only felt his own insignificance.

In comparison, the Mana used by the Black and White Dual Fiends to activate the scroll seemed trivial to Ji Yuan now.

He even wondered if this pillar of light, if unleashed upon the Cangluo Continent, would shatter the Cangluo Continent into pieces?

Nothing else, just because the scene was truly overwhelming.

And as Ji Yuan watched the spectacle, he understood what it truly was.

The burst of Spiritual Light when the Teleportation Array activates.

So the Ghost Envoy spoke to him for so long, but Qiu Qianhai hadn’t left yet.

Only now did he activate the array.

Or perhaps it was the Yin Ghost Sect’s Sect Leader who activated the Teleportation Array.
