Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1150: Chapter 406: [Spirit Field: Level 5]; Dual Nascent Souls (Monthly Pass Requested)

In the calm sky above the sea, a beam of light suddenly descended.

Without waiting for himself to fall into the sea, Ji Yuan softly called out.

”Speed of Lightning!”

His figure vanished from the spot in an instant. When he reappeared, he was already dozens of miles away, but he didn’t stop. After briefly discerning the direction, he continued to drive the Speed of Lightning toward the east.

If the Ghost Envoy wasn’t lying and truly sent him to the Land of the Far East,

then heading west would lead back to the continent, while heading east would increasingly distance him from it.

Ji Yuan felt that, being like someone wanted for arrest, he should head far overseas to ensure his safety.

However, although it was said to be the Land of the Far East, that was just the Ghost Envoy’s word. Ji Yuan was not certain.

Thus, he fully extended his Divine Sense, searching the vicinity for quite a while. Eventually, he found a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator battling a sea beast in a sea full of dark reefs.

”Speed of Lightning!”

A flash of lightning pierced through the seabed, instantly subduing the mid-stage Tier Two sea beast.

Ji Yuan, clad in a water-blue Magic Robe, appeared out of thin air. He looked down at the long-faced man trembling with fright and asked through transmitted voice:

”Where is this place?”

”Reply, reporting to the senior, this is about a thousand miles south of Dongcang Island.”

The long-faced man replied in a trembling voice.

”Dongcang Island?”

Ji Yuan had never heard of such an island, ”Is it the Land of the Far East?”

”Exactly.”

The long-faced man didn’t know why this senior was asking this question.

But since the senior asked, he could only answer honestly.

Yet after this answer, he didn’t hear the next question for a long time.

After a while, he dared to look up.

Only to see that there was no sign of the senior, just the sea beast that had just been killed, lying motionless.

He hesitated for a breath, eventually deciding to take the sea beast’s corpse with him, then performed a Water Escape Technique and fled immediately.

”...”

Days later, above the calm sea, a water-blue Escape Light flew by, and the mana ripples it caused finally shattered the serene surface of the lake.

”The Land of the Far East, this island should be about right.”

”Far enough from the continent, with no Immortal Sect in the vicinity for a long time, the size of the island is just right, and it perfectly aligns with the Five Elements, making it a natural site for an Array Formation.”

”Since that’s the case, I’ll choose this island as a temporary place for closed cultivation.”

Ji Yuan waved his big hand, and the Array Flags of the Inverted Dipper Array scattered across the island, forming a great array.

Immediately, he landed before a mountain wall in the center of the island, six Canglan Swords flew out, carving into the mountain’s interior, and a brand new Cave Mansion quickly took shape.

”...”

”So, Bone Nightmare brother, have you found any trace of that Ji Yuan?”

In the Northwest Sand Prison, above an unknown place, the Old Demon Tiasha asked the Bone Nightmare Old Demon, whom he met halfway.

”No, not a single trace.”

Bone Nightmare Old Demon shook his head.

Old Demon Tiasha nodded and said, ”On my way here, I encountered Joyful Daoist and Pavilion Master Tingtao together, and they also hadn’t found any trace of Ji Yuan.”

”We all speculate... since he obtained the Star-Stepping Wheel and managed to become its master, he most likely already has a way to activate it, and it’s highly likely he’s already escaped from the Northwest Sand Prison.”

Bone Nightmare Old Demon listened to this, looking around the desert.

Ultimately, he let out a long sigh.

”On this trip to the Rashamon Sea, Old Demon Tiasha, you gained quite a lot of benefits, while I ended up with nothing...”

Bone Nightmare Old Demon said with a bitter smile, ”Well, not nothing, at least I came out with a body full of injuries.”

”If I don’t find some opportunities, I fear my lifespan will be greatly shortened, let alone advance.”

What Bone Nightmare Old Demon said was indeed true.

In this trip to the Rashamon Sea, not only did he fail to obtain any significant treasures, he even had a clash with Nightmare True Monarch.

He was forced to agree to many inequitable conditions to enlist the help of the Soul Hall Master and the others.

This was all bad enough.

After paying so much, he got nothing, and he himself was injured.

The Fire Spirit Ghost Mother, which he could use as a trump card, and his Second Nascent Soul were both exposed.

Knowing this, it would have been better not to come to the Rashamon Sea.

”Bone Nightmare brother, you jest. With your aptitude, advancing to the late-stage Nascent Soul should be an easy feat.”

Old Demon Tiasha said with a forced smile.

For him, seeing his opponent suffer such a fate was a great pleasure.

Especially since he could also make sarcastic remarks on the side.

”Hehe.”

After a brief exchange, Bone Nightmare Old Demon put away these inappropriate emotions.

”In that case, see you next time, Old Demon Tiasha.”

Bone Nightmare Old Demon cupped his fists slightly toward him, then transformed into a blood-colored Escape Light and flew straight toward the northwest, where the Bone Nightmare Sect was located.

Old Demon Tiasha stood still, not moving.

At that moment, a fleeting thought flashed through his mind, pondering whether he should make an attempt to keep Bone Nightmare Old Demon from leaving.

But this thought lasted merely an instant before he dismissed it from his mind.

After experiencing so much in the Rashamon Sea, Bone Nightmare Old Demon hadn’t died, which certainly indicated he still had a formidable life-saving trump card.

At this time, to kick someone when they’re down might just be the last straw that breaks him.

If that happens... he might vent all his anger and grievances accumulated along this journey onto him, and he’d have to endure all his wrath and resentment.

It wasn’t necessary.

Even if he did succeed at that time, he’d end up seriously injured if not dead, and eventually, someone else would reap the benefits.
