Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 564: Chapter 258: Tu Yue’s Foundation Establishment

To the north of the Thunder Shock Marsh, at the top of a high mountain filled with pavilions and small structures, there is an observatory.

At this moment, a streak of blue escape light suddenly flew out from the observatory, finally stopping behind the gallery, transforming into the figure of an elderly man in a blue robe.

He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing distantly at the ancient clouds that never dissipated.

Just then, a man in black robes, riding a Flying Sword, ascended halfway up the mountain, also arriving at the observatory at the mountain’s peak. He gave the elderly man a slight cupped-fist salute, and then said, “Old ancestor, there’s some movement in the Thunder Shock Marsh, I fear it might be a Golden Core Zhenren acting.”

“Not acting.”

The elderly man in the blue robe half-closed his eyes, in which a faint blue light gleamed. Looking at the gigantic hole above the clouds, he casually said, “At most, it’s just an early-stage Golden Core practicing swords there, no harm done.”

Hearing this, the man in black finally let out a long breath of relief and quickly said:

“That’s good, that’s good.”

“Old ancestor, then what should we…”

The elderly man in the blue robe shook his head, “No need to intervene, the great war between righteous and demonic paths has begun, best not to concern ourselves with other matters. As for the person in question, whether righteous or demonic, it has nothing to do with our Lou family.”

“Yes.”

The man in black gave another cupped-fist salute.

“How about the matters the Li Family entrusted to us?” the elderly man in the blue robe asked as he turned around.

The man in black responded, “All prepared, those clan members with a bit of talent have all been sent to the Alchemy Square, but…”

“But what?”

The man in black took a deep breath and still asked, “Old ancestor, is our strategy of betting on both sides somewhat… too unrighteous?”

The elderly man in the blue robe was not angered upon hearing this, merely looking at the man in front of him with eyes seeming to hate iron for not becoming steel, then said in a deep voice, “Lou Yi, have you not understood after all these years?”

“A sect of a thousand years, a clan of ten thousand years.”

“Do you really think the Li Family isn’t betting on both sides as well?”

“Never overestimate any one cultivator, but also never underestimate any clan that has been passed down for a thousand years. Now go, henceforth, all major decisions of the Lou family will be made by me.”

Upon hearing this, Lou Yi felt an immense relief throughout his body, and hurriedly said, “Thank you, old ancestor.”

“Yes, go.”

The elderly man in blue, named Lou Wan Yi, waved his hand, and only then did Lou Yi turn and leave.

Watching his departing figure, Lou Wan Yi couldn’t help but think to himself.

’Lou Yi, Lou Yi, ant, ant, this name was poorly chosen from the start.’

After these thoughts, he raised his head again to look at the Thunder Shock Marsh in the sky; the hole was already gone, everything had returned to its previous calm as if nothing had ever happened.

…

Three days later.

Ji Yuan, in an excellent mood, sat atop the Wind Willow Flying Boat, heading north while secretly contemplating.

The current fusion of the seven swords, oh no, it should be called the Canglan Sword Array… this sword array can be said to be the strongest killing move he has at present.

Although the Spiritual Energy Cannon is useful, it is a bit difficult to hit someone with it.

Moreover, setting it up takes time.

Unless, like last time on the Ancient Battlefield, someone can hold the opponent at bay, giving Ji Yuan a chance to ambush.

Regarding other means… even the Celestial Thunder Seed cannot match this Canglan Sword Array.

After all, no matter how strong the Celestial Thunder Seed is, it’s merely a full-strength strike at the Peak of Foundation Establishment, but judging from the effects of the Canglan Sword Array’s attacks, it’s comparable to the Fake Pill Realm.

The attack is strong, but the consumption is also great.

Even with Spiritual Qi as abundant as Ji Yuan’s, at most, he can only perform the sword array three times.

After three times, the Dantian would be exhausted.

But what if paired with Thousand-year-old Spirit Liquid?

A single drop of Spirit Liquid could fill the Dantian, and over the past two years of Ji Yuan’s travels.

The Spirit Vein has produced at least 20 drops of Thousand-year-old Spirit Milk.

Plus the 3 drops Ji Yuan originally possessed.

With this effect… keh keh keh!

Ji Yuan was already imagining the terrifying power he possessed. If he encounters Jiang Hong again, he surely can beat him to a pulp!

The power of the sword array surprised Ji Yuan.

Similarly, the strength of the Thunder Strike Sword also exceeded Ji Yuan’s expectations, with its internal thunder, it can be deemed the nemesis of evil and demonic ways.

Among the seven sword embryos owned by Ji Yuan, the Thunder Strike Sword is the strongest individual sword.

’So, in the future, using Qiu Qianhai’s identity will allow me to use the Five Poison Snake Staff, but if I use Ji Yuan’s identity, I’ll use the Thunder Strike Flying Sword.’

’One is sinister and vicious, the other openly righteous.’

Besides this is the strength of the physique, which also tremendously pleases Ji Yuan.

Because he tried it on the way back, without using Spiritual Qi enhancement, relying solely on his physical strength, even a Mid-grade Spiritual Artifact like the Flowing Frost Flying Sword could not break through his defense.

Relying solely on physical strength is enough to match late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

With such power, who in the world can compete?

By then, just engage in long-range Magical Combat, and if losing, feign a flaw, bring the opponent nearby, and then punch the opponent’s head to a pulp.

Isn’t that delightful?

It’s just a pity that he couldn’t breakthrough his physique to the Bone Forging Realm, otherwise, with a body comparable to a Golden Core, that would be truly powerful.

If all these were planned in this journey, the unexpected joy was the Pwoang Divine Eyes on his brow… not even sure if it’s joy or surprise.

All this needs to go back and ask Hua Yaoyue.

Hmm… can only hope the omniscient master has heard of these Pwoang Divine Eyes.

Subsequently, during the journey north, Ji Yuan was both taking pills, eating eggs, and absorbing Spirit Stones, doing all three to drastically increase his cultivation.

During this, he also encountered several incidents.

First, a Loose Cultivator at the early stage of Foundation Establishment was being pursued, ironically by a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator.
