Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 826 - 342: Preparations Before Core Formation

For a thousand years, the Nightmare True Monarch has walked the mortal world, observing countless worldly and dream realms.

He has always firmly believed in one saying.

There are accidents in the world, but no coincidences.

All coincidences are man-made events.

Just like the case of Qiu Qianhai... two people with the same name appearing on one continent, and both possessing such absurdly formidable strength.

Smile and ask, ”Is it possible!”

The reason why this Qiu Qianhai in front of him is so powerful is because he has received my dedicated help.

So what about the other Qiu Qianhai, the one known as the notorious ”Old Demon Qiu”?

Could it be that he also had a Nascent Soul Monster guiding him closely?

Of course that’s possible.

But to say that these two Qiu Qianhais have no connection at all is absolutely impossible.

This ”Old Demon Qiu” must know that this Qiu Qianhai is my closed-door disciple.

”Seems like he’s also from the Dragon Nurturing Land, mostly.”

A thought flashed through the mind of the Nightmare True Monarch, and then he recalled another matter, or to be precise, another person.

That person who was killed in front of Qiu Qianhai by Nightmare True Monarch through a dream, his good brother.

Also the person Qiu Qianhai missed constantly.

’If that’s the case, then it’s quite interesting.’

The Nightmare True Monarch muttered in his heart, and then departed from this place once more.

He never intended to tell Qiu Qianhai the truth of this matter, and even if he were to tell, now was not the time.

In these years, if it weren’t for ”revenge” keeping Qiu Qianhai going.

Not to mention such fast breakthrough in cultivation, he would have died unknown times by now.

’So that’s to say, hatred has always been a useful thing; it’s just a matter of how people use it.’

”Let’s go, find a place first, you should form your core; with this level of cultivation, it’s really worthless.”

The Nightmare True Monarch said this, and once again transformed into an escape light and flew away.

”...”

”There’s nothing around here either.”

In the boundless Endless Sea sky, Ji Yuan formed a spell with his hand, but did not feel a familiar aura, becoming more helpless in his heart.

”Brother Ji, are you looking for someone?”

Mu Xueyao, who was leading the way, asked curiously.

”Not looking for someone, looking for something, which I accidentally lost around here before.”

Ji Yuan replied.

Of course, he was looking for someone.

He hasn’t forgotten that Du Wanyi is still waiting for him to come through that passage.

But after the incident at the Fallen Immortal Gully, Ji Yuan had long lost track of how far he was from the previous passage exit.

He didn’t even know whether the exit was to the south or north.

He was holding onto one thought, which led him to ask Mu Xueyao to take him around this area to see if he could just bump into it... But unfortunately, the result wasn’t as desired.

”Well then.”

Mu Xueyao, being sensible, didn’t ask further, just continued leading Ji Yuan northward.

In this way, they circled and searched for over a month.

Finally, Ji Yuan gave up this headless search, and figured it was better to go to the shore and see if he could find her traces rather than aimlessly search on the Endless Sea.

Or perhaps see if he could find Liu Yuan.

Finding him might bring the original location of the passage, and by then, he could find Du Wanyi.

”Forget it, let’s go to West Border City first.”

”Alright!”

After Ji Yuan spoke, Mu Xueyao immediately turned the direction to head east.

...

Meanwhile, on the Desolate Ancient Continent, thousands of miles away, at the peak of a new sect.

Hua Yaoyue stood at the cliff edge, her large sleeves billowing in the celestial wind.

Behind her stood the extremely aged Kong Xifeng.

”Are you... really leaving?”

Though Kong Xifeng didn’t want to ask this, at this point, it made no difference if asked or not.

”Yes.”

Hua Yaoyue’s throat produced sound; she did not turn her head.

Kong Xifeng silently nodded.

”Indeed, being able to break through our encirclement in an otherwise certain-death scenario, and finding us such a great foothold in the Cangluo Continent...”

Kong Xifeng sighed deeply, ”You owe us the Water Dragon Sect nothing, in fact, it is we who owe you.”

”Oh.”

Hua Yaoyue maintained her indifferent attitude.

If this were before, Kong Xifeng might have argued a bit, but now, she could only resign herself to fate.

She initially thought that coming to this Desolate Ancient Continent and joining the Taiyi Immortal Sect would surely lead to scorn, even disdain and contempt.

Indeed, that was the situation at first, but then Hua Yaoyue went to find someone, after which everything changed.

The Taiyi Immortal Sect not only made the Water Dragon Sect a first-class affiliate sect, offering numerous resources, they even allocated one of their scarce spirit veins to help the Water Dragon Sect establish itself.

Such kindness was beyond words.

So don’t even mention cold treatment; even if Hua Yaoyue slapped her... well, there would still be emotions about it.

”Actually, all along, I’ve wanted to ask you a question.”

Kong Xifeng stepped forward a few steps, coming beside Hua Yaoyue, yet strictly speaking, she remained half a step back.

”What?”

Hua Yaoyue finally turned her head, looking at her expressionlessly.

”Of your four disciples, that Ran Kui couldn’t be brought along, I heard, but I know you liked your closed-door disciple the most. So why didn’t you bring him along, instead leaving him in such a perilous Cangluo Continent?”

Kong Xifeng asked slowly.

”No comment.”

With these simple words, Hua Yaoyue transformed into a white escape light and left the place.

Leaving only one statement echoing there.

”While you’re alive, remember to cultivate the next Nascent Soul. Without personal strength, even the best relations are useless.”
