Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 812 - 337: Mid-stage Muscle Forging Realm

”In any case, congratulations to you first, fortunate one. Acquiring the Miracle Treasure Chasing Lightning is truly your luck. Of course, the speed of this Chasing Lightning is rather average, only barely usable in the Core Formation Stage and the Early and Middle Stage of Nascent Soul, so it’s not considered a Supreme Treasure.”

”But in a sense, it actually could be considered a Supreme Treasure, because the even faster and more powerful Stepping Star Wheel... requires this Chasing Lightning Cloud to obtain.”

”Yet, it’s a pity my strength was insufficient, and I couldn’t seize that treasure, otherwise, I wouldn’t have perished in that turmoil.”

”Fortunate young one, if you can acquire this Chasing Lightning, it shows you also have a connection with the Stepping Star Wheel. If you can reach that Butcher Mountain in the future... hehe, good luck, don’t become someone else’s stepping stone like I did.”

The old and frail voice sighed deeply.

”Thousands of years of glory ultimately returns to dust, the world holds no interest, life is but a dream, life is but a dream.”

”Oh right, if there are still any Merfolk outside when you arrive, please show them some kindness, they are somewhat descendants of an old friend of mine. Go on, go on.”

The voice faded away at this point, Ji Yuan naturally could tell that this voice came from the array on the stone wall.

Because just as he was completely refining the Chasing Lightning, that same array reappeared on the stone wall where he entered.

”I wonder what esteemed person that senior really was, this array technique is indeed superb.”

With a sigh in his heart, Ji Yuan finally set his eyes on the wisp of energy in his hand.

Compared to before, he could now feel a connection between himself and this wisp of energy.

”Chasing Lightning Cloud, Miracle Treasure, claimed to chase the thunder and lightning in the sky... It usually surrounds oneself in the form of energy and cannot be stored inside the body or the storage bag. Once activated, it turns into a cloud chasing lightning, traveling thousands of miles, and can also transform into lightning to strike others.”

This is the general use of the Chasing Lightning Cloud.

Looking at the wisp of energy slowly rotating around him, Ji Yuan could naturally feel its weakness, as it had expended much energy attempting to kill him before.

To aid its recovery, one way is to slowly nurture it with Spiritual Qi.

The other is a faster method.

Lightning Charging!

Even though he was in the underwater cavern, Ji Yuan still had a way to summon lightning.

With a slight shift in his heart thought, a wisp of sword light flew out from his Dantian, transforming into a small purple sword hovering at his fingertip, with small lightning crackling around it.

Nine Waves of Canglan — Thunder Strike Sword!

With another thought, Ji Yuan caused it to transform into normal size, a three-foot blue blade appearing, with the tip pressing against the Chasing Lightning.

”Chzzzzz—”

After the sound, streaks of lightning appeared, striking the Miracle Treasure Chasing Lightning, but the lightning vanished in an instant, all absorbed by this Miracle Treasure.

This lasted only three to five breaths, and the glow of the Thunder Strike Sword slightly dimmed, so Ji Yuan hastily retracted it back into his Dantian.

After all, it was just a sword embryo, not a true Magical Treasure.

The lightning contained within wasn’t much.

As for refining a Magical Treasure after forming the Core, Ji Yuan had long had an idea.

Even though he already possessed the Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Mountain of Mind and Heart, he intended to refine these nine sword embryos into another of his own ”Lifebound Magical Treasure.”

After all, the Canglan Sword and Ji Yuan’s cultivation technique shared the same roots, and once activated, there was virtually no difference from a true Lifebound Magical Treasure.

It moves at will, with immense power.

The Mountain of Mind and Heart suppresses, the Canglan Sword slays, the two complement each other well.

Ji Yuan had long planned the refining materials for the Sword Artifacts, which was the Purple Sky Stone wielding the might of the Purple Sky Divine Thunder!

The Thunder Technique Cultivator Hunting Owl Zhenren from the Water Dragon Sect, his Lifebound Magical Treasure was a Thunder Seal refined from a piece of Purple Sky Stone.

With that Thunder Seal, he made a formidable name for himself in Shang Dong.

After all, the Purple Sky Divine Thunder carried by the Purple Sky Stone, along with the Yin Fiend Divine Thunder and the Dou Tian Divine Thunder, are known as the world’s ”Three Divine Thunders.”

Among these Three Divine Thunders, the Purple Sky Divine Thunder is the most domineering, its thunder being Supreme Yang and Firm, naturally suppressing all demonic and evil yin objects in the world.

The Purple Sky Stone, capable of generating Purple Sky Divine Thunder... Ji Yuan currently had two in his storage bag, one needed to upgrade the Celestial Craft Square.

Moreover, once the Celestial Craft Square is upgraded to Level 3, it will produce one Purple Sky Stone each month.

In one year, that equates to twelve, allowing me to accumulate quite a lot by then.

Until all nine sword embryos are refined with Purple Sky Stone, although these nine sword embryos are not the limit of the Canglan Sword.

Nine gives birth to nine swords, ultimately capable of refining eighty-one Canglan Swords, forming the Canglan Sword Array.

However, to activate all eighty-one flying swords refined from Purple Sky Stone simultaneously... Ji Yuan estimates that even if he reaches Nascent Soul Formation, he may not possess that capability.

Returning to the present, after absorbing the lightning from the Thunder Strike Sword, the Miracle Treasure Chasing Lightning finally regained a hint of vitality, starting to orbit Ji Yuan incessantly.

As Ji Yuan’s sword-fingers emitted Spiritual Light, the Chasing Lightning instantly transformed into the shape of a dark cloud.

Gently leaping onto the dark cloud, Ji Yuan’s body was immediately enveloped by the light shield derived from the Chasing Lightning, perceiving the Chasing Thunder Cloud beneath his feet.

If lightning charging wasn’t an option, then Mana would be needed.

According to what the senior mentioned earlier, this Chasing Lightning Cloud can be used up to the Nascent Soul Stage, so Ji Yuan was prepared for high consumption.

However... he hadn’t expected the consumption to be so great!
