Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1219: Chapter 420: The Mighty Purple Gold Gourd; Legacy of Nightmare True Monarch [Monthly Pass Request]_4

Ji Yuan had no choice but to temporarily set the matter aside, and withdrew his mind from it.

Long Fei looked back at her master with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

Ji Yuan thought for a moment; he had previously heard from Long Yun that the Serpent bloodline seems to have inherited memory.

So, Ji Yuan told Long Fei about this in hopes of finding some explanation from her.

As a result, Long Fei also shook her head.

Indicating that she also did not know what to do about it.

Ji Yuan had no choice but to return to the Mountain of Mind and Heart, transforming his Lifebound Magical Treasure into a speck of dust attached to Long Fei, letting her carry him in search of islands in the tranquil sea.

Ji Yuan himself continued his stable cultivation in the Spirit Vein.

As soon as he entered seclusion, Long Fei and Long Yun didn’t disturb him. Outside, it was always Long Fei flying.

Nearly a month passed like this, and Ji Yuan, who was cultivating, was finally awakened by Tu Yue.

”Hmm? Long Fei found an island?”

As soon as Ji Yuan thought of this, his figure immediately disappeared from the Spirit Vein, and in the next moment appeared atop Long Fei.

Upon emerging, Ji Yuan noticed that the scene before him was indeed different from before.

Gone was the endless tranquil sea; instead, silk-like clouds floated around, and there were many star-like islands scattered across the visible surface of the sea.

It was lush and green.

Sitting on the Dragon’s back, Ji Yuan stood and released his Divine Sense, surveying the numerous islands below... People!

On the island directly below him, Ji Yuan saw traces of human activity, and to the east on a larger island... he saw a city and numerous villages along the coast.

”There are people, as for cultivators... there are, but very few, and the one with the highest cultivation is merely an old man at the sixth level of Qi Cultivation Stage. Judging by his state, he probably doesn’t have many years left.”

In some ways, reaching the sixth level of Qi Cultivation Stage in a place where Spiritual Qi is so scarce would make him a Foundation Establishment Cultivator on Jiyuan Continent.

If luck were slightly better, Core Formation wouldn’t be impossible either.

Therefore, the most important factor for people is where they are born.

With these thoughts, Ji Yuan first returned Long Fei to the Mountain of Mind and Heart, then transformed into Escape Light and dove down.

In just a few breaths, he appeared in a hidden chamber.

The white-haired elder looked at the figure that appeared out of thin air in front of him, along with the aura inadvertently revealed by Ji Yuan... After a few seconds of bewilderment, he hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground.

”Pa... Pay respects to the master.”

... This title does not seem typical of someone from Jiyuan Continent, and even the accent is not the dialect of Jiyuan Continent, but more like the elegant speech of the Human Realm.

Ji Yuan’s thoughts flashed through his mind, and he responded in elegant speech as well:

”Is this indeed the tranquil sea?”

”Indeed it is, Master.”

”Do you know the place called Qiankun Island?”

Facing a junior cultivator of Qi Cultivation Stage, Ji Yuan naturally said no more than necessary, opting for a direct inquiry.

”Qiankun Island...”

The white-haired elder, upon hearing this, didn’t answer immediately; he instinctively frowned.

After a while, he responded truthfully:

”The younger generation has not been to this place, but has seen a record about it in the family’s inherited texts.”

”Speak.”

”The text says... There is an island to the south called Qiankun, above which spirits frighten the heavens and earth, mortals absolutely must not approach, and celestial fate is only bestowed upon those destined.”

The white-haired elder reminisced for a moment, ”When I was young, I attempted to search south for the traces of this Qiankun Island but ultimately found nothing. Perhaps I am not a destined person.”

”To the south of this island?”

”Indeed.”

Ji Yuan first used his Divine Sense to pave the way but detected nothing unusual; it seemed the location was quite far.

Once the white-haired elder arose after bowing again, the figure of his master had vanished.

But soon, the elder’s gaze was attracted by a few stones emitting a milky white glow on the ground in front. He scrambled forward, picked one up...

”Spirit Stone?! And it’s actually the legendary... Mid-grade Spirit Stones?!”

”...”

After leaving the island, Ji Yuan flew straight south, while using Divine Sense to carefully inspect surrounding islands.

Nevertheless, after left this archipelago, he couldn’t find Qiankun Island or any extraordinary island.

”According to the old man, the island can only be seen by destined people, but such talk... is merely to deceive ignorant cultivators.”

”In any such place, it’s solely protected by arrays.”

Ji Yuan stopped mid-air, formed a sign with his right hand before him, and then lightly uttered.

”PWoang Divine Eyes, open!”

The moment the purple vertical eye emerged from his brow, the scene before him changed dramatically.

Under the gray, misty vision, Ji Yuan looked around once more... He found it!

With just a glance, Ji Yuan discovered that farther south from the position he stood, there above the sea, was an area shrouded in misty gray.

But with ordinary vision, it couldn’t be seen.

If it’s not an array, then what is it?

”Chase the lightning!”

Ji Yuan transformed into Escape Light, arriving outside Qiankun Island in just an instant.

... An array, still a Tier Four Array, not to mention Core Formation Cultivators, even Nascent Soul Cultivators would find it challenging to discover unless they know a bit about arrays.

But now that I’ve encountered it.
