Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 622: Chapter 277: Body Cultivator—Peak of Foundation Establishment!

’In the end, the only person really close to me is still Tu Yue.’

Ji Yuan looked at Tu Yue, who obediently handed over her Storage Bag, and couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional.

Inside the Storage Bag, there was not only Profound Sun Blood Amber, but also Jade Fat, Ice Soul Cold Dew, and various other Immortal Talents.

After pouring all of it into his own Storage Bag, Ji Yuan returned the now empty Storage Bag to Tu Yue.

He didn’t leave afterward but instead took out a Spiritual Energy Cannon on the spot.

With a thought, he deactivated the construction effect of the earlier Spiritual Energy Cannon and switched it on to this brand new one in front of him.

Immediately, the base of this Spiritual Energy Cannon began to extend in all directions.

In short, it was larger in size, and the silver ring that was virtually suspended above the base also became larger. Moreover, the array patterns on that silver ring continued to spread in all directions.

Just as it was done previously when upgrading the first Spiritual Energy Cannon.

But a regular Spiritual Energy Cannon could only have Level 2 effects added to it.

The Level 3 Meteor Cannon, I guess, need to be upgraded and created by myself.

Then Ji Yuan, following the same method, also ”enchanted” and upgraded the second Spiritual Energy Cannon once, waiting for the task to be done.

Only then did the heavy stone in his heart slightly settle down.

At least now, if I encounter any danger again, at least I have some sort of trump card in hand.

He stored away these two Spiritual Energy Cannons in the courtyard and then went outside the house. He first practiced the post-stance techniques of the Nine Revolutions Profound Yang Skill at the door.

After his entire body was open and his blood started to boil gradually, he then took out a piece of Profound Sun Blood Amber and swallowed it.

Upon swallowing, the Blood Amber turned into pure blood energy and dissipated, and Ji Yuan’s originally fair skin instantly flushed with blood, steaming with heat.

His body sank, and he took another step forward.

The ground seemed ordinary, but a dull sound emerged from deep beneath the surface.

Since the Blood Amber has already been consumed, it’s the right time to practice the post-stance technique.

Moreover, without the Body Refinement of heavenly tribulation these days, it’s extremely difficult to refine this pure blood energy just by post-stance technique alone.

More importantly, Ji Yuan had long sensed that his physique was only a step away from the Peak of Foundation Establishment, and breaking through was really just a moment’s work.

’But still, the pressure is not enough. If there was enough pressure to stimulate the blood energy, I guess I would have broken through already.’

He spent three days walking around the island without success, so Ji Yuan began to think of other ways. If this continues, who knows when he’ll be able to break through.

Should I go to Thunder Shock Marsh again?

That would be a waste, it’s too far away. It would be better to have a fight with Master Hua Yaoyue for some pressure, to see if I can break through.

But having just returned, Ji Yuan finds it inappropriate to go looking again.

While pacing along the bank, his gaze naturally fell onto the Boundless Marsh.

The water surface was calm, with only ripples caused by the gentle breeze, and a few water birds soared in the distance, occasionally landing on the ground. In the far distance, it seemed like a water bird was preyed upon by a Spirit Fish, causing a splash.

Suddenly, an idea popped into Ji Yuan’s mind.

He thought about how to apply pressure to himself.

And that is... entering the water!

To seek pressure, is there a more suitable place than the Boundless Marsh?

Upon diving to the depths, the pressure is as great as you require.

Just do it.

Ji Yuan slightly crouched, then leaped into the air, and after a leap of three meters outward, his figure plunged directly into the lake water like a swimming fish, without splashing any water.

Ji Yuan had originally practiced Water Technique.

So now he was like a fish in water. To quickly dive to a sufficient depth, he also summoned the Flying Boat in the water.

Then his figure shot forward like an arrow leaving the string, disappearing straight into the depths of the Boundless Marsh.

While diving, he was also sensing the depth...one hundred meters...one hundred and fifty meters...two hundred meters, alright, finally, Ji Yuan stopped at this dark underwater, feeling the pressure exerted by the surrounding lake water.

There is, but it hasn’t yet reached the level needed for a breakthrough.

He could only continue and find a ”trench”-like place; such places are deep enough to provide sufficient pressure.

He once again propelled the Flying Boat beneath his feet, releasing his Divine Sense, searching this underwater.

Hmm...he discovered some Water Beasts, but most were just Tier One Water Beasts, not enticing Ji Yuan to act.

After half a stick of incense’s time had passed, he finally found an extremely deep trench about forty to fifty miles south of Wuyou Island.

How deep exactly?

Let’s just say, even Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense, which was comparable to the early Golden Core stage, couldn’t reach the bottom of this trench.

It could no longer be called a trench; it should be named... an abyss.

Having arrived there, he put away the Flying Boat, then without hesitation, jumped in. As his body descended into the abyss, the pressure around began to gradually increase.

Perhaps the confined space added a bit more pressure, so much so that after sinking just sixty or seventy meters, Ji Yuan began to feel the pressure.

Breakthrough... maybe it’s possible now.

But to break through faster, he had to continue to go deeper. Thus, Ji Yuan continued diving a fair distance until arriving at a protruding platform in the abyss.

He estimated he had dived over a hundred and thirty meters.

His Divine Sense still couldn’t find the bottom, but he could see some large, fresh footprint-like marks at this deep underwater location, each footprint was as big as a human head.
