Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 810 - 336: Miracle Treasure – Thunderchase

But what was the result?

After slashing down with the saber, Ji Yuan felt a similarly strong aura burst out from the stone wall.

The speed was so fast that he didn’t have time to pull back his hand.

The already somewhat damaged Blood Remnant Saber was instantly broken by the Spiritual Light.

The remaining Spiritual Light was absorbed into the opposite stone wall and vanished completely.

It was unclear what happened.

Ji Yuan looked at the Blood Remnant Saber, now reduced to a half, quickly put it away, and immediately retreated to the door.

If there were any more changes, he would flee at once.

However, after waiting for a moment, there was no further disturbance.

Only then did Ji Yuan feel slightly relieved, allowing himself to recall what happened just now.

”That seemed to be a rebound of damage— usually, such an effect is caused by... an array?”

As soon as this thought emerged, a purple vertical eye appeared on Ji Yuan’s forehead.

It’s fortunate that his mana could be used inside the Merfolk Ancestral Land; otherwise, no matter how capable he was, it wouldn’t matter.

Once the PWoang Divine Eyes appeared, Ji Yuan’s vision changed.

The world turned gray, and the stone wall with the marks was enveloped in a layer of white light.

Array.

It was indeed an array!

Since it was an array, dealing with it would be much easier.

Ji Yuan immediately returned to the stone wall, noticing many unfamiliar array patterns on the layer of white light in front of him.

”How exquisite these array patterns are; I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Amidst his amazement, Ji Yuan noticed a few prominent red dots on the array.

Array nodes.

Initially, Ji Yuan thought they were flaws in the array, but upon closer inspection, he found that these red dots subtly aligned with the positions of the seven stars of the Big Dipper in the sky.

So these were specifically left ”keys”?

While still in doubt, Ji Yuan glanced at the stone door from which he had just obtained the Spirit Liquid. Under the PWoang Divine Eyes, neither the stone door nor the surrounding walls exhibited any issues.

He then meticulously checked the entire cave. Once certain there were no problems, he returned to the stone wall.

Concentrating his mana, he lit up the array’s nodes one by one.

Once all the nodes were lit up.

Just as Ji Yuan was pondering what was going on, he felt a sudden suction force from the array before him.

Before he could react, he was pulled in.

”Ah—”

By the time Ji Yuan regained his senses, he found himself in another cave.

There was no seawater before him, and mana could be used. Everything seemed normal.

But it was... empty.

The vast stone chamber had nothing inside.

Completely empty.

Intuition told Ji Yuan that a stone chamber sealed by such a powerful array couldn’t possibly be empty.

There must be something he hadn’t discovered yet.

He didn’t dare to remove the Spirit Devouring Armor from his body, so each step he took echoed in the empty stone chamber.

For safety’s sake, Ji Yuan formed a hand seal to summon the Protective Spirit Light.

The four swords—Canglan, Dragon Fortune, Blood Slaughter, and Cloud Arc—hovered beside him to guard against any surprises.

But as Ji Yuan just began to walk a few steps forward, his ears twitched, and he immediately darted to the left.

At the exact moment he moved, a flash of white lightning appeared at the spot where he originally stood.

A ghost?!

Ji Yuan darted to the side, and more lightning appeared at his previous position.

One chased, one fled.

Ji Yuan quickly realized it was a single bolt of lightning pursuing him.

Moreover, it was not released by anything.

At first, he wondered if a hidden Demon Beast might be involved, but soon he realized it wasn’t.

It was merely a bolt of lightning pursuing him.

The lightning only manifested when attacking, otherwise, it remained as an ordinary wisp of aura.

”What the hell is this damn thing.”

Seeing the thing move faster and faster, Ji Yuan nearly failed to dodge several times, making him somewhat panicked.

Turning back to look at his way in, the array had disappeared, leaving only a stone wall.

Damn!

As Ji Yuan’s mind wavered slightly, the lightning was already upon him.

”Crack—”

With a slight sound, his Protective Spirit Light shattered.

Fortunately, it gave him time to escape, and he barely managed to stabilize himself in the distance.

Then he summoned the Golden Light Mirror with his mind, using it to emit Protective Spirit Light and shield himself.

With a slight lift of his right hand, a hundred silver needles flew from his Thousand Needle Basket, attacking the wisp of aura in front of him.

As soon as Ji Yuan attacked, the bolt of lightning only fled.

It didn’t even dare to retaliate.

Ji Yuan saw through it too.

”Heh, just a paper tiger!”

Ji Yuan chided softly and summoned the two Celestial Poison Needles.

Given his current mana reserves, handling two Magical Treasures simultaneously posed no great challenge.

”Hiss—”

As more and more silver needles danced, one finally struck the wisp of aura.

Then, with a soft ”poof,” the wisp of aura finally revealed its true form.

Unexpectedly, it was... a dark cloud!

About a meter wide and long, the dark cloud had lightning flickering within it. Under the siege of numerous silver needles, Ji Yuan even felt the dark cloud trembling?

”Heh, scared now?”

Upon careful inspection with his Divine Sense, Ji Yuan discovered the dark cloud... could be refined into a treasure!

But it was different from a Magical Treasure, reminiscent of the conical hat left behind by Ran Kui.

A treasure.

A real treasure!

Just as Ji Yuan was contemplating capturing it, the shivering dark cloud transformed back into lightning and darted through the silver needle array.

It struck toward Ji Yuan’s chest.

”Sizzle—”

The Protective Spirit Light shattered, the lightning hit his chest, shattering the Spirit Devouring Armor and ultimately landing on Ji Yuan’s chest.

Feeling numb all over, Ji Yuan even retrieved a hint of the sensation from body refinement in the Thunder Shock Marsh.

The damage was there, but it wasn’t significant, not even comparable to the harm within a hundred miles of the Thunder Shock Marsh.

If that’s the case, what is there to fear?

Looking at the lightning that struck his chest, Ji Yuan reached out with his right hand and grabbed it!

Lightning in hand.

A burst of information flooded into Ji Yuan’s mind.

”Miracle Treasure—Pursuing Lightning!”
