Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1068: Chapter 389: Meeting Between Old Demon Ji and Old Demon Qiu (Part 2)

”Good!”

After speaking, he silently called upon ”Chasing Lightning” in his mind.

With a flash of lightning, he returned to his original position and chose to continue observing the battle.

As he left, Nightmare True Monarch glanced again in the direction he departed.

”This friend of yours... has quite a few good things.”

Nightmare True Monarch said in the sea of consciousness.

”Heh, it’s because he’s the good brother of someone special.” Qiu Qianhai was extremely excited now and dared to say anything.

Nightmare True Monarch chuckled without commenting further.

However, those who initially thought they would see a good show saw nothing, which only made them more curious...

There was definitely a telepathic message sent, but they couldn’t know what was said.

”Hey, that person just said he’s actually Ji Yuan, and you aren’t. So who exactly are you? Why not tell us and let us know you better?”

Xun Tianji always had a fearless nature.

Seeing no one speak up now, he shouted out loud.

Nightmare True Monarch glanced at him and sneered, ”Want to know? Kill Xiao Xuan, and I’ll tell you.”

”You!”

Xiao Xuan was furious, yet recalling the black blood this person used earlier, he found himself unable to solve the predicament and was filled with impotent rage.

Xun Tianji heard the remark, genuinely turned to look at Xiao Xuan, seriously examined him, and then said:

”I’ll leave that be. I went through great lengths to make him owe me a life-saving favor; killing him would be such a waste.”

”Then how about this... Or you could deal with Xun Qingteng, and I’ll let you have that Miracle Treasure, and then I’ll tell you who I am.” Nightmare True Monarch shifted his tone.

From his perspective, the only one present who could pose a threat to him.

Was none other than the legitimate son of the Extreme Demon Monarch.

”Miracle Treasure?!”

Nightmare True Monarch’s unintentional revelation caused all the cultivators present to perk up.

After all, they were the heirs of the Eight Holy Lands; who among them didn’t know of the Miracle Treasure’s fame?

But knowing is one thing; owning it... likely only Xun Tianji, who had just used the precious mirror.

”Indeed, I did wonder what treasure would require a Tier Four spirit plant guarding it.” Xun Tianji marveled, ”Let’s just say I, too, desire such a treasure.”

And with a single mention of ”Miracle Treasure” by Nightmare True Monarch, their attention was instantly diverted from himself.

Far off on a rooftop.

Upon returning, Ji Yuan didn’t retract the Spirit Devouring Armor on his body, and with a furrowed brow, he sensed Mu Xueyao opening a crack in the room’s door, and he sent a telepathic message:

”There might be a problem, stay put for now... or you could move further away.”

”Then I’ll wait here for Brother Ji.”

Mu Xueyao didn’t hesitate or inquire further; she quietly closed the door.

On the rooftop, Ji Yuan’s divine sense was tightly locked onto Qiu Qianhai’s figure.

If not for that last statement... Ji Yuan would have been extremely joyful; this best friend from years ago, believed to be dead, unexpectedly reunited in a foreign land.

This kind of joy is indescribable.

Even saying he was wildly ecstatic wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

But that last statement... It compelled Ji Yuan to be on high alert.

Master... what kind of master needs to possess a disciple’s body?

From just that moment earlier, Ji Yuan could tell that who was controlling Qiu Qianhai’s body now was his master, while Qiu himself was hiding in his own sea of consciousness.

Ji Yuan couldn’t help but think back to Qiu Qianhai’s past experiences.

To be precise, it was that ”Old Demon Ji’s” experience.

Ji Yuan knew very well Qiu Qianhai’s potential.

Someone with a pseudo spirit root like himself, who got this far... surely his master must have helped greatly, especially considering his master’s cultivation.

Not even at the peak of Core Formation, at least a Nascent Soul cultivator.

A Nascent Soul cultivator meticulously cultivating a disciple and possessing his body.

This feeling, this act... Ji Yuan didn’t need to think much.

This is a dog-eat-dog Cultivation Realm, not a village threshing ground for playground.

Without any kinship, do you really think the identity of a disciple would make a Nascent Soul monster go through such lengths to nurture you?

Even someone as kind as Hua Yaoyue needed Ji Yuan to approach her first before she was willing to occasionally provide guidance.

This old fellow in front of him... aside from seizing, Ji Yuan couldn’t think of any other possibility.

No need to even consider.

In the Cultivation Realm, such things usually happen for the sake of seizing.

If not for preparing a body for himself in the future, who would put so much effort into cultivating someone?

Disciples, huh, what’s the value of a disciple?

Ji Yuan instinctively recalled the stories of Bone Nightmare Old Demon and Nightmare True Monarch, where disciples kill their master and marry the master’s wife, let alone anything else.

Therefore... Qiu Qianhai is most likely in big trouble.

Does Qiu Qianhai himself know?

Judging by his past experience in Cloud Rain Marsh, it’s impossible he didn’t see through it, let alone the events after arriving on Jiyuan Continent.

But knowing is one thing.

As a loose cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Stage targeted by a Nascent Soul monster... what good is knowing?

It simply means dying more painfully, dying more regretfully.

After realizing this, Ji Yuan felt increasingly heavy-hearted.

If the Nascent Soul monster... really is just a Nascent Soul monster, that would be fine.

At worst, delay for some time, wait until Ji Yuan advances to the late-stage of Core Formation, then down a bottle of Nine Nether Burning Life Brew, transforming into a late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator on the spot.

As long as the other party isn’t late-stage Nascent Soul, he won’t hold back from slaying them!

It’s just 50 years of lifespan, Ji Yuan felt if he could save Qiu Qianhai, it would be worth it.
