Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 664: Chapter 291: Ji Yuan Battles the Golden Core!

”Make your move!”

At the moment when the Spiritual Qi fluctuations arose, the Divine Eagle Master and the Fire Python Zhenren within the Demon Cave opened their eyes simultaneously, both casting nervous glances outside.

However, when they sensed the terrifying phenomenon of the Starfall River frozen for three hundred miles, they were somewhat startled.

The Fire Python Zhenren’s face turned pale.

The Divine Eagle Master seemed to make some kind of decision.

Each had their own thoughts.

The Divine Eagle Master directly transmitted a message to the remaining Foundation Establishment Cultivators, ”You retreat first through the backup exit, we’ll guard this place.”

”Are we... running?”

The Fire Python Zhenren unconsciously recalled the pressure from the Ice and Fire Elder earlier, it truly made him feel the threat of death.

Especially the slap from the Ice and Fire Elder; he even saw his master beckoning to him from it.

”Run?”

The Divine Eagle Master sneered, ”Of course we run, are we going to stay here and wait for death?”

Hearing this, the Fire Python Zhenren awkwardly chuckled, ”Just... joking.”

The Divine Eagle Master didn’t dwell on the pointless question. He sensed the enormous booming sounds from outside the array, along with the tremors akin to the Earth Dragon Flipping.

”The Ice and Fire Elder, just as the rumors say, doesn’t know arrays and only uses brute force to break them.”

The Divine Eagle Master analyzed:

”This array of ours can distribute his attacks evenly across every part of it, so even if he wants to break through, it’ll take at least the time of an incense stick burning... This should be enough to hold until the Dark Venerable arrives.”

”By then, with the Dark Venerable confronting the enemy head-on, the two of us will support. We must annihilate this Ice and Fire Elder.”

”What, we are to support the array?”

The Fire Python Zhenren said hesitantly, ”But I’ve been injured twice in a row, I’m afraid I won’t be of much help.”

The Divine Eagle Master mocked:

”Although the Ice and Fire Elder is strong, facing the Dark Venerable... he’s still a bit lacking.”

”It’s a sure thing, and we can share the glory. If you wish to abandon such an immense merit, then go ahead.”

”Among the many Loose Cultivators who joined Shang Dong, the Ice and Fire Elder is by far the strongest. Taking him down would be a catastrophic blow to the morale of the entire Shang Dong.”

Listening to the Divine Eagle Master’s analysis, the Fire Python Zhenren couldn’t help but feel a bit tempted.

”In that case, let’s fight for a bright future.”

”Hehe, the entire Cangluo Continent will need a reshuffle after this. Whether we can ascend to high positions hinges on this opportunity,” the Divine Eagle Master said with some emotion.

In a short time, the entire array outside was already on the verge of collapse.

”This lunatic... his power is truly terrifying.”

The Divine Eagle Master lamented, gently patting the Spirit Beast Bag at his waist.

Accompanied by a streak of grey light flying out, it landed beside him, transforming into an eagle as tall as himself, covered in grey feathers, with an intimidating purple tuft on its head.

Upon closer inspection, it seemed like there were threads of lightning flickering within.

With the appearance of the eagle, the Divine Eagle Master’s presence seemed to grow stronger.

He then took the back meat of a Tier Three Demon Beast, the Red-hearted Tiger, from his Storage Bag and personally fed the eagle.

Meanwhile, the Fire Python Zhenren, witnessing this, flashed a tinge of envy in his eyes, then also summoned his Tier Three Spirit Beast, ”Red Flame Fire Python,” from his Spirit Beast Bag.

The Fire Python was covered in flame-like stripes, with a slender, flat head, its scales were extremely fine, and despite the scarlet forked tongue it displayed, it had a certain elegance.

The two Tier Three Spirit Beasts appeared together in the small Cave Mansion, and demon aura surged wantonly for a while.

The eagle, which was eating, sensed the presence of the fire python and immediately turned its head, looking fierce and menacing.

”Eagle.”

The Divine Eagle Master softly called, and the eagle reluctantly withdrew its gaze.

The fire python also retracted its exposed fangs, lowering its raised body considerably.

Eagles are natural predators of snakes, let alone such a Divine Eagle.

Both of them were poised to strike. On the Spirit Platform of the Mountain of Mind and Heart on the ground, Ji Yuan was similarly prepared; seeing the situation, he knew the Ice and Fire Elder had taken action.

If that’s the case... as soon as the array is breached, when these two Golden Core Zhenren head to battle,

that will be Ji Yuan’s moment to escape.

...

At the same time,

Above the frozen Starfall River, the Ice and Fire Elder hovered with a blank expression, nonchalantly raising and lowering his right hand.

With each descent, a large hole appeared on the frozen river’s surface, and the shattered ice within turned into numerous ice swords, falling straight down and striking the array’s surface.

To the Ice and Fire Elder, there was no array he couldn’t make manifest.

If not, then he would simply beat it out.

He leisurely pointed and gestured, while also observing the surroundings of the Starfall River.

The cultivators originally sightseeing on Qingjing Mountain had scattered like birds and beasts, but on the mountain across the Starfall River, there were still a few cultivators observing.

The Ice and Fire Elder always welcomed those cultivators who only sought wealth and weren’t afraid of dying, so he didn’t drive them away.

After another incense stick’s time, two streams of light swept from the south and stopped near the Ice and Fire Elder.

”Head 100 miles west, there’s another exit from this Demon Cave; the highest cultivation there is only at the Peak of Foundation Establishment. You two go and eradicate it, and remember not to leave anyone alive.”
