Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 946: Chapter 364: [Spirit Effect—9 Suns Forging Longevity!]

The Fire Spirit Ghost Mother spoke slowly.

“It’s no wonder she’s my wife, she thought the same as I did.”

The Bone Nightmare Old Demon said as he reached out and touched the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother’s head, smilingly saying, “That’s why I returned late this time, because I had gone to the Soul Refining Hall to inform the Soul Hall Master about this matter.”

“Given his temperament, once he gets this news… the Eight Holy Lands will likely know about it soon.”

“Tsk tsk.”

The Bone Nightmare Old Demon said as he suddenly stood up, crossed his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth in the courtyard.

“Rest assured, among those old folks, there must be those with tempers more anxious than ours. When they can’t hold back, it’ll be them.”

“Indeed, for example that old demon from Celestial Killer Mountain, ever since obtaining that cross-continental Teleportation Array, the entire Celestial Killer Mountain has become much more arrogant.”

“Also, there’s the righteous Xuanqing Sect occupying the southeast corner, ignoring the Black and White Divine Hall altogether.”

Though the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother seldom leaves the house, she is privy to the Bone Nightmare Sect’s information, and thus knows quite a bit about the world’s affairs.

Upon hearing this, the Bone Nightmare Old Demon’s tone suddenly shifted, turning around, he spoke with an uncertain tone:

“When I went to see the Soul Hall Master, he mentioned something… I’m not sure if it’s true.”

“What is it?”

The Fire Spirit Ghost Mother listened attentively.

“Do you remember the event from over a decade ago when the Master of the Sea Ruins caused an uproar in West Border City and then fought with Celestial Killer Mountain?”

“I naturally remember.”

“The Soul Hall Master said… it was all a show put on by Celestial Killer Mountain and the Sea Ruins for the Black and White Divine Hall. In reality, they have already joined forces.”

“Are you suggesting Celestial Killer Mountain has colluded with the Demon Race?”

The Fire Spirit Ghost Mother asked somewhat incredulously.

Since conflicts within the Black and White Divine Hall and the Eight Holy Lands are internal affairs of the Human Race, once it involves the Demon Race, things change drastically.

“Sigh.”

The Bone Nightmare Old Demon sighed deeply before gradually saying:

“When the old emperor ages and the new emperor has yet to ascend, ask yourself, who in this world doesn’t want to be that new emperor?”

“Why are those two from the Black and White Divine Hall so dedicated to finding the Rashamon Sea if not to become that new emperor?”

“Then husband… what about you?”

The Fire Spirit Ghost Mother turned her head to ask.

“…”

“I want to become supreme step by step… Damn it, why hasn’t the [Martial Arts Arena] appeared yet?!”

Inside the Cave Mansion lit by firelight, Ji Yuan walks through the Martial Arts Arena, pasted with plaques, three times but still sees no sign of the familiar words.

“It’s not right…”

Ji Yuan scans around, seeing that the corners of the Cave Mansion have been lit with fires everywhere.

Moreover, on both sides of the Martial Arts Arena, he has placed eighteen kinds of weapons on racks, yet even so… the Martial Arts Arena still hasn’t appeared.

“Why is this?”

Ji Yuan finishes his moves, supporting his left hand with his right elbow, stroking the stubble on his chin, his brows tightly knit.

“I’ve built so many structures, yet not a single one is suitable for Body Cultivators. It’s impossible that I can’t build one suitable for Body Cultivators, right?”

“The [Martial Arts Arena] must be able to be triggered and started, surely I haven’t found the right condition because my posture is wrong.”

As Ji Yuan thought about this, he suddenly noticed a Communication Talisman inside the Storage Bag slightly trembling.

Without thinking much, he took it out, infused it with mana, and the voice of An Yue resounded above his sea of consciousness.

“Brother Hu, where are you? I have something to ask you.”

Is it really her?

In these years, the Demon Slave has sent messages to Ji Yuan more than once, but Ji Yuan never really responded; even when he did, he always said he was busy with cultivation and had no time.

For Ji Yuan knew, this Demon Slave was just a root of trouble.

To shelter her with the Nine You scent was already a no-choice situation,

but this is An Yue’s first time sending a message.

After a moment’s hesitation, Ji Yuan decided to go see her.

After all, he couldn’t figure out the [Martial Arts Arena] here, so why not go out for a walk? Besides, it’s nearby, just like visiting a neighbor.

“I’m here. I’m pondering Array now in the Cave Mansion, it’s inconvenient. I’ll come to you, how’s that?”

The reply came quickly, with only one word.

“Okay.”

It does suit her socially insecure nature.

Ji Yuan instantly transformed into Escape Light and exited, and within just a few breaths, he entered An Yue’s Cave Mansion.

Though they’ve been neighbors for several years, this is Ji Yuan’s first time coming to her Cave Mansion, and just upon entering, he sensed something peculiar.

An Yue, as usual, felt a bit uneasy, not even knowing where to place her hands.

Once greeting was done and tea served, with both seated, An Yue finally appeared normal.

Ji Yuan placed one hand on the table, the other on his knee, smiling.

“Why not invite Miss Demon over directly, Miss An?”

“Ah?”

An Yue shockingly trembled, “I… she…”

Ji Yuan sighed inwardly at her reaction, directly taking out the Demon Slave’s Communication Talisman.

“Come over.”

Just two simple words.

In mere moments, the Demon Slave arrived, as soon as she appeared, she greeted Ji Yuan with a graceful bow, a charming smile on her face.

“Since the last meeting, I haven’t had the chance to thank Brother Hu in person for your shelter, it truly was rude of me.”

“That’s enough.”

Ji Yuan raised his hand, “Speak, what happened that you need Miss An as a go-between?”

The Demon Slave first glanced at the red-faced, embarrassed An Yue, then naturally sat beside Ji Yuan.

“I shall speak plainly.”

“Brother Hu hasn’t been out for years, are you aware of what has happened in Lindong City recently?” the Demon Slave asked in return.
