Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 818 - 339: Ji Yuan Arrives at the Extreme Abyss

Because every time Nightmare True Monarch possesses him, Qiu Qianhai must spend ages to regain control of his own body.

...

”The light screen dissipates faster, in three days, it will completely disappear.”

”That will be the day the Ascension Gate opens.”

Deep within the abyss-like Fallen Immortal Gully, amidst a gap surrounded by giant rocks, a black figure sits cross-legged, wearing a conical hat.

The conical hat naturally serves as a hiding conical hat.

Ji Yuan finds that when facing Demon Beasts, wearing Spirit Devouring Armor to isolate Spiritual Qi and donning the hiding conical hat is already good enough.

But when facing cultivators, other means must be used.

Because cultivators have Divine Sense.

So Ji Yuan secretly cut a giant stone from the ancestral land of the Merfolk Race into the shape of a coffin, ready to lie inside at any time.

Nowadays, he occasionally releases his Divine Sense to explore the surroundings.

Surely, there are no living humans, but living beasts... many.

Many Sea Beasts know that going up from here is much safer, driven by instinctive survival instincts, they venture out.

Thus, many Sea Beasts are now entrenched here.

Most of them are Tier Two, followed by Tier One, with Tier Three being the least.

Despite being as strong as Ji Yuan, he doesn’t dare act recklessly... But if he wants to seize Demon Pill in the future, he can come around here.

Sea Beasts that venture out from Fallen Immortal Gully have strong bodies, but their Spiritual Energy and Mana techniques are not strong.

It’s a good place to hunt demons and seize pills.

Thus, Ji Yuan waited a few more days in the depths of the sea region until the light screen above finally dissipated completely.

Initially, several Sea Beasts rushed out and never returned.

Afterwards, the remaining Sea Beasts went crazy, churning the waters as they madly swam upwards.

Some less self-controlled Sea Beasts accidentally invoked Spiritual Qi in their excitement.

As a result, Water Blades emerged, slaughtering many Sea Beasts.

Some smarter ones didn’t rush out; instead, they submerged to the seabed, gnawing on the corpses of those dead and wounded Sea Beasts.

After all, they venture out to search for food and enhance their strength.

Now, they have food available without venturing out, and without risk, why not indulge?

For these brain-developed Sea Beasts, Ji Yuan is quite fond of them, only taking the Demon Pills from the dead and wounded Sea Beasts.

But after moving several places, he only found a few Tier Two Demon Pills.

Not a single Tier Three Demon Pill.

Ji Yuan had to give up this meaningless endeavor.

As for enriching by picking Demon Pills... Ji Yuan does not need it.

The Spirit Vein annually produces over thirty thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones, and now, after more than three years in closed meditation underwater, he hasn’t spent a single Spirit Stone.

So his reserve of Spirit Stones has reached a terrifying level.

Since that’s the case... let’s go!

Ji Yuan glanced west, towards the path he came from, without hesitation, leaping forward, his whole being transforming into a long sword slicing through the water realm of Fallen Immortal Gully.

Like ascending to heavens.

In a moment, Ji Yuan arrived at the top of Fallen Immortal Gully, where he reached last time.

But last time, he was blocked by an array formation.

This time... as Ji Yuan easily passed through, a feeling of escaping from mortal peril pervades his heart.

He forcefully suppresses the urge to shout, instead releases his Divine Sense to sweep the surroundings.

The Sea Beasts just escaping out here have already started to attack wildly.

Both attacking other encountered Sea Beasts, and attacking companions who just fled from the Fallen Immortal Gully.

The ripples of Spiritual Qi and undercurrent in the seabed make Ji Yuan dare not approach.

After all, there are many Tier Three Demon Beasts mixed in here.

If surrounded, even with his strength it would be hard to escape death.

After a brief pause, Ji Yuan continued eastwards, flying towards the sea surface.

A moment later, from the originally tumultuous sea surface, a figure suddenly flies out, transforming into a dark golden stream of light swiftly departing.

”I’m out!”

”Finally, I’m out!”

”I, Ji Yuan, have finally arrived at Jiyuan Continent!”

”...”

Not daring to speak, Ji Yuan can only shout wildly in his heart, the exhilaration of surviving the tribulation, unrestrained.

It intensely excites Ji Yuan’s mood beyond measure.

He doesn’t know where he is now, but surely far from the location of the passage.

The urgent matter now is to find someone, to gather some information first.

Ji Yuan strives to release his Divine Sense, but within the range he can probe... there’s only sea, still sea.

No signs of humans, not even a piece of land, an island encountered.

But that’s normal, if you persistently fly eastward, you will eventually meet people.

Holding this belief, Ji Yuan flew eastward for a day and a night.

Finally saw the first island of Jiyuan Continent.

The island is huge, somewhat resembling the Black Dragon Island at the time... Oh, there are people!

Ji Yuan continued flying forward a distance, soon he saw a figure on this nameless island, it’s a woman...

Before Ji Yuan could take a closer look, he noticed that further east three Escape Lights were flying towards him.

Then the woman on this nameless island hurriedly escaped, initially flying south for a distance, then as if spotting Ji Yuan, she headed straight towards him.

”Not good, trying to trap me!”

Ji Yuan instantly understood the intention of the Female Cultivator, but before he acted, the three Core Formation Cultivators seemed to have used some Escape Technique, flashing their figures, surrounding Ji Yuan and the Female Cultivator tightly.
