Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1037: Chapter 382: “And You Still Say You’re Not Old Demon Ji!”

After all, this is only the second challenge gate of the Outer Realm, how could everyone perish here?

So when he used the Chasing Lightning Cloud to forcibly pass through the Yin Soul Ancient Path, he saw another scene.

The numerous Yin Soul Ancient Paths ultimately connected to a huge Bronze Stone Gate. Inside the opened gate, a faint white mist emanated.

…It seems that once you pass through here, you can reach the third challenge gate.

The sound of spell combat came from behind him, with one of them getting closer.

Ji Yuan seemed to sense a familiar aura. He turned his head in a hurry and saw a figure dragging nine chains with only half a body left falling towards him, then rolling into the Bronze Gate.

‘Is that… Yin Bone Master?! He actually survived Xun Tianji’s hand?’

‘No wonder he’s the first Core Formation of the Bone Nightmare Sect, to have such strength.’

But on second thought, it also highlights Xun Tianji’s power, that the first Core Formation of the Bone Nightmare Sect was beaten into this state.

Ji Yuan hesitated only for a moment, when Xun Tianji’s voice came from behind.

“Oh, there’s still one waiting to die here.”

Before the voice had even faded, Ji Yuan had already plunged headfirst into the Bronze Gate.

From behind came the sound of an explosion, and Ji Yuan could still vaguely feel that terrifying aura.

…Xun Tianji, it’s best you don’t fall into my hands!

Before Ji Yuan could curse a few more times, he found himself back in the space where he exchanged for treasures.

First, he calmed his chaotic aura, and then took out his Identity Jade from the Storage Bag.

Injecting mana, words appeared.

Compared to the first challenge gate, it’s still lacking, especially since he didn’t get the 100 Contribution Points reward for passing the second.

Even with 252 Contribution Points now, 87 of them were leftovers from the first challenge gate.

This means that in this second challenge gate, he only earned 165 points fighting for his life.

No, there was also a 150 Contribution Points task given by the Ghost Envoy at the last moment. It’s a pity I didn’t complete it.

At this moment, Ji Yuan indeed felt like turning back to kill that Luojia Zhenren, but the Ghost Envoy’s offer was just too tempting.

But for now, Ji Yuan looked up at the boundless Immortal Talent, the more he looked, the more he wanted it, but there was no other way.

…I’ll have to continue exchanging for Yin Yang Soil, and get Yaotu Sand with the surplus.

No matter what, I have to gather the upgrade materials for the Spirit Field first.

The more he thought about it, the more Ji Yuan wanted to enter the Inner Realm sooner, to seize Contribution Points from others. Otherwise, relying purely on killing others himself is too hard.

He thought about it and then sat down, beginning to absorb the Spiritual Qi from within the Spirit Stone to restore his mana.

This exchange area is a rare safe zone, naturally, one should restore to peak condition before leaving.

A day later, having restored himself to peak condition, Ji Yuan exchanged for Yin Yang Soil.

Ji Yuan originally had 0.61 pounds of Yin Yang Soil, and now he used 156 Contribution Points to complete the remaining 0.39 pounds.

Thus, the materials for upgrading the Spirit Field were once again gathered.

What remains is just needing 0.99 pounds of Yaotu Sand and two Tier Four Wood Attribute Demon Pills.

Hmm, simple enough, as long as you have hands.

After exchanging for the Yin Yang Soil, Ji Yuan glanced at his Identity Jade.

[Silver Thirteen: Ninety-six]

There’s no point in saving, with no hope of getting a Tier Four Demon Pill, Ji Yuan simply converted everything into Yaotu Sand.

It’s just a pity, this stuff is still ridiculously expensive.

Ji Yuan spent all his Contribution Points and only exchanged for 0.32 pounds, combined with the previous amount, it’s just enough for one-third of the Yaotu Sand.

And he’s back to the state when he first entered the Rashamon Sea.

Ji Yuan put away the items in front of him, and just as he was about to leave for the third challenge gate, he learned that he could exit the Rashamon Sea now.

…Couldn’t leave before the second challenge gate, but now it’s an option, I wonder how many will choose to leave.

Ji Yuan, in any case, isn’t leaving. He directly moved to the third challenge gate with a thought.

The scene before his eyes dissipated, and when his vision restored, he found himself in a swamp.

What met his eyes was poisonous mist spreading everywhere.

Bubbles constantly rose and burst in the swamp, and Ji Yuan, looking down, could see severed limbs among the murky waters.

The poisonous mist knew no differentiation between friend and foe, so Ji Yuan immediately pinched a spell to summon Protective Spirit Light.

But what are the rules of this third challenge gate…?

Ji Yuan attempted to summon the Ghost Envoy with his heart thought, but there was no response at all.

He even boldly shouted a slogan like “All for the Sect.”

The Ghost Envoy still didn’t respond.

Does this mean the rule of the third challenge gate is… no rules?

Ji Yuan waited a moment, but there was still no response.

So he released his Divine Sense to scout in all directions, and just as he did, he noticed a figure quickly approaching him.

Qi Xiu!

(I’ve seen many readers complaining about the next meeting with Hua Yaoyue, and some even said something about a Crossing Tribulation Mahayana, I can only say it won’t be that late. Much of the later plot revolves around Hua Yaoyue.

There was actually a spoiler before… the previous chapter was titled “Where in Life Do We Not Meet Again.”)
