Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1035: Chapter 382: “And You Still Say You’re Not Old Demon Ji!

Luojia Zhenren cast a distant glance at those stone gargoyles; her expressionless face remained calm as she formed a spell with both hands, and in an instant, a halo like a blazing sun appeared behind her.

She lightly waved her jade hand.

A layer shed off from the halo, turning into a jagged light wheel that swept horizontally through the air.

“Shiii—”

With a sound like flesh being torn apart, Ji Yuan watched with his eyes wide open as two Mid-stage Core Formation cultivators of the Black and White Divine Hall, who were relatively close to her, were cut down on the spot.

And that light wheel still did not stop, continuing forward, until it reached the Peak of Core Formation stone gargoyle, where it was slapped to pieces with a single palm.

The turn of events came too fast.

Ji Yuan swept his Divine Sense around and found that most of the Black and White Divine Hall cultivators along his ancient path had already begun fleeing for their lives.

Shi Ming, who still kept to some sense of jianghu honor, sent Ji Yuan a voice transmission.

“Brother Qiu, once the Contribution Points are enough, that’s good; there’s no need to risk your life here!”

Having said that, he turned into an Escape Light without a backward glance and bolted.

For a moment, along Ji Yuan’s ancient path, within the range of his visible sight, he was the only Yin Ghost Sect disciple left.

The rest… had all run.

Meanwhile, that Luojia Zhenren from Cloud Cliff Temple was also being blocked by that Peak of Core Formation stone gargoyle, unable to advance.

Should I run?

At the very instant this thought flashed through Ji Yuan’s mind, a voice echoed above his Sea of Consciousness—it was the Ghost Envoy, “Ji… your surname is Ji, right? Forget it, whatever your surname is, you block her, and I’ll give you an extra 100 Contribution Points.”

…Senior, you’re still sitting there watching the show?!

While staring at the battle between Luojia Zhenren and the stone gargoyle, Ji Yuan bitterly smiled to the Ghost Envoy in his Sea of Consciousness:

“Senior, I’m only Mid-stage Core Formation, and you want me to block a Peak of Core Formation? Isn’t that taking my little life?”

“Heh, a Mid-stage Core Formation with Nascent Soul-level Divine Sense?” the Ghost Envoy sneered.

“…Then unless Senior gives me another Peak of Core Formation stone gargoyle.”

Ji Yuan haggled.

If he had two Peak of Core Formation stone gargoyles plus himself commanding from the side… taking down this Luojia Zhenren would basically be a sure thing.

“Heh, if I could still spare another Peak of Core Formation stone gargoyle, would I need to waste words with you here?”

The Ghost Envoy’s tone remained mocking.

This only made Ji Yuan feel more and more that something wasn’t right; in his view, how could a place as powerful and unfathomable as the Rashamon Sea have only this level of defensive means?

Those Yin Souls he had encountered earlier in that little Secret Realm alone… were already more than this, weren’t they?

“But this…”

“I’ll give you 150 Contribution Points. If you still won’t do it, I’ll go find someone else.”

The Ghost Envoy issued his final ultimatum.

Ji Yuan immediately nodded. “Do, do, I’ll do it!”

As Ji Yuan agreed, in addition to the three swords—Canglan, Blood Kill, and Thunder Strike—that had already been floating around him, two more swords appeared.

One was Cloud Que, and one was Giant Que!

He had long wanted to weigh his own limits; today he had finally chanced upon a good opportunity, with even a Peak of Core Formation stone gargoyle assisting from the side.

What was there to be afraid of?

Not to mention that after this fight, he could gain so many Contribution Points.

So, standing atop the Yin Fiend Stele, Ji Yuan almost instantly unleashed a beam of Yin Fiend Divine Light.

“Boom—”

The grayish divine light shot straight toward Luojia Zhenren opposite him, but it seemed she had been prepared; another light wheel flew out from behind her.

“Shiii—”

The snow-white jagged light wheel slashed out, directly cutting that Yin Fiend Divine Light into two.

Not only that, the light wheel continued straight toward Ji Yuan.

He stepped forward once, and his figure instantly appeared atop the Yin Fiend Stele where Shi Ming had previously stood.

“Bang!”

With a dull thud, the Yin Fiend Stele where Ji Yuan had originally been standing was immediately shattered into pieces by the light wheel.

Ji Yuan then urged the Yin Fiend Stele beneath his feet again.

The second beam of Yin Fiend Divine Light shot out, only this time, Luojia Zhenren was not prepared.

The divine light slipped through the gap between the stone gargoyle’s attacks and struck the Protective Spirit Light on her body.

Though it didn’t break through, it still staggered her.

The Peak of Core Formation stone gargoyle seized the opportunity, its twin wings whipping up a whirlwind that directly swept her off the ancient path.

Luojia Zhenren formed a seal with both hands and let out a low shout.

“Descend!”

A platinum Dharma Seal appeared out of thin air above Ji Yuan’s head.

It came so fast that he didn’t even have time to dodge.

He first activated the Water Dragon Sect Leader’s Seal in his hand; a Water Dragon emerged from the Seal and coiled around him.

Yet it could not hold even for a single breath before being suppressed by that Dharma Seal and shattering inch by inch.

Ji Yuan seized the moment; with a thought, he drove four of the Flying Swords into the Giant Que Sword.

In this way, the Giant Que Sword, already larger than normal, was driven by Ji Yuan to transform into a Giant Sword about ten zhang long.

Dantian Magical Power surged madly into it; once the Giant Sword appeared, it almost instantly pierced through the Dharma Seal.

The Giant Sword was still rising, and finally hovered above Ji Yuan’s head as he clasped his hands in a grip.

“Slash—”

Once the word was spoken, the Giant Sword cleaved down violently!

The stone gargoyle that had been entangled with Luojia Zhenren immediately pulled back as the Giant Sword dropped straight down.

With its aura locked onto her, Luojia Zhenren had almost nowhere to dodge.

Clenching her teeth, she reached her right hand behind her and actually took down that halo, holding it in her palm to block the descending Giant Sword.

Then she flipped her left hand, and a Jade Purity Bottle appeared in her grasp.

As her left hand supported itly, a dense white light immediately radiated from her entire body.

Wherever the white light passed, the several Mid to Late-stage Core Formation stone gargoyles circling near her actually melted into stone water.
