Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1279: Chapter 434: Nascent Soul Assembly and Dao Heart Demon Seed [Monthly Pass Requested]

The days spent comprehending cultivation techniques are always tedious, but the only comforting aspect is having the Scripture Pavilion, which allows one to see the progress bar of comprehension.

As long as there’s a progress bar, it belongs to tasks that can be conquered!

Ji Yuan looked at the ever-growing progress bar of comprehension, his heart filled with enthusiasm.

”This Canglan Sword Array is divided into two layers; the first layer is the Canglan Sword Array, wielded by eighty-one Canglan Swords, also called the ’Thousand Xuan Sword Domain.’ The second layer is known as the ’Nine Abyss Returns to Ruins,’ which is the ultimate strike of this Sword Manual.”

”The reason it’s called the ultimate strike is because once activated, the Nascent Soul can merge with the sword array, transforming into a true Canglan Sword Domain, enveloping a hundred miles around. Once used, it can forcibly attract all water spiritual power within range, turning it into a rain of swords.”

”Although the strike is powerful, to initiate it, I fear it needs at least a late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator. Currently, being able to manifest this Thousand Xuan Sword Domain is already remarkable.”

”...”

Half a month passed.

While in seclusion, Ji Yuan received a voice transmission from Fairy Baihua, saying that the Nascent Soul Assembly at Cloud Rain Sect was already arranged, set for three days later.

At that time, Ji Yuan must appear before all disciples of the Cloud Rain Sect and receive their homage, ascending to the position of the Supreme Elder of Cloud Rain Sect, and even Dan Ding Sect and Heavenly Sword Sect would send Nascent Soul cultivators to attend.

As for the Four Demon Sects...

An empty shout across the distance would suffice.

”Since that’s the case, I’ll get this matter settled first.”

Immediately afterward, Ji Yuan transformed into escape light and flew out from the Mountain of Mind and Heart, then carrying his lifebound magical treasure, met up with Fairy Baihua, and together through the Mirror Flower Water Moon, returned to Cloud Rain Sect located in the Xingluo Archipelago.

...With this thing, it’s indeed convenient; in the future, even for fleeing, one wouldn’t have to painstakingly travel.

After returning to Cloud Rain Sect, Ji Yuan didn’t go back to Brewing Peak but instead stayed at the new mountain prepared for him by Zhou Cang.

According to his habit, he still named it ”Wuyou Peak,” and for its location, it wasn’t far from the previous Brewing Peak.

But in terms of height, it was equal to Fairy Baihua’s Hundred Flowers Peak and Elder Xuanji’s Xuanji Peak.

Thus symbolizing Ji Yuan’s status as a ”Supreme Elder.”

However, Ji Yuan gently declined Zhou Cang’s suggestion for him to select disciples.

Currently, he himself hasn’t settled down yet, let alone train disciples; he doesn’t even have time to train himself.

Even if he has ideas, they have to wait for some time to come.

Secondly, Ji Yuan feels he has too many secrets and doesn’t want too many people around him.

Hmm... Unless he comprehends the Dao Heart Demon Seed, then things will be easier.

Truly, if taking on disciples or followers, first plant them with a demon seed, then nothing would be of concern.

Two days later.

Ji Yuan, clad in a Nascent Soul robe, stood atop Wuyou Peak, watching a radiant sword light flying straight from the west.

With a momentum as if to split the Cloud Rain Sect in half, yet it calmly halted outside the mountain gate.

This posture compared to the last visit... is simply incomparable.

Using his late-stage Nascent Soul Divine Sense, Ji Yuan swept over, identifying the visitor.

Perhaps Sword Wu Ya felt embarrassed after the previous encounter, thus sent another mid-stage Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator, his elder brother — Sword Wuchen.

’It’s said that Sword Wuchen’s strength exceeds that of Sword Wu Ya, also reputed as the strongest among the Three Star Luo Sects... however, the true strength is yet to be seen.’

There’s no need for Ji Yuan to personally handle such reception matters.

As today’s protagonist, he transformed into escape light and arrived at Cloud Rain Peak.

This location served as today’s Nascent Soul main venue; the other cultivators had been cleared; not even a Core Formation disciple remained.

Ji Yuan hadn’t waited long here before seeing two streams of light sweeping in, landing in front of him one after the other.

Among them, a water-blue escape light naturally transformed into Fairy Baihua.

As for the other sword light, upon landing, it turned into an old man with white hair and beard, carrying a stern expression, a sword on his back.

Only upon seeing Ji Yuan did he muster a smile.

His heart was somewhat surprised... Achieving Nascent Soul at such an age, though unfortunately too impatient, forced growth, even if he formed a Nascent Soul, it’s merely a facade.

Though thinking this, on the surface, Sword Wuchen maintained his manners.

After managing a smile, he slightly cupped his fists.

”Presumably, this is Daoist Xu, indeed an outstanding talent.”

”Daoist Wuchen flatters me.”

Ji Yuan originally thought to call ”Sword Dao Friend,” but after consideration, such a title might come across disrespectful.

After exchanging greetings, a vast light flew from the east.

Upon Ji Yuan turning to look, he saw a giant gourd phantom appear amidst the clouds.

”That old ghost is here again.”

Sword Wuchen stroked his beard, sneering.

Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense swept over; naturally, he recognized it was Master Danxu sent by Dan Ding Sect, who previously came to pressurize Cloud Rain Sect.

Also a mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.

’Just unclear whether these two families are indicating their stance or coming to exert pressure again... but it’s likely the former.’

”I’ll go greet Master Danxu Daoist.”

Fairy Baihua nodded with a smile.

”Greet what, let’s go together.”

After saying this, Sword Wuchen left without standing on ceremony, and Ji Yuan exchanged glances with Fairy Baihua before following.

”Danxu old ghost, coming so late despite the close proximity, could it be a grievance from last time?”
