Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1130: Chapter 401: Ji Yuan Slays a Nascent Soul! [Monthly Pass Request]

”Boom——”

The rumbling echoed throughout the entire stone city.

The thick light beam shot downward, almost instantly piercing through the cage made of willow branches, then shooting higher into the sky.

By the time Master Qingcheng, who had darted away, looked back, Eagle Changkong’s figure was nowhere to be seen.

All he saw was that spiritual energy beam that shattered the willow tree completely.

”This...”

Master Qingcheng looked up at the scene, and there was even a hint of fear in his eyes.

He imagined himself in Eagle Changkong’s position and realized that even with all his trump cards laid out, he couldn’t possibly withstand this cannon.

In other words, it meant.

Ji Yuan has the power to kill me...

Master Qingcheng turned his gaze toward the southern city wall, now covered in cracks hundreds of meters long.

Any other disturbance would cause the wall to collapse.

And atop this wall, the spiritual energy cannon that had just killed a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Now it emitted white smoke throughout, and the circular rings that had earlier been activated were gradually returning to normal under the array’s guidance.

Ji Yuan waited for the Meteor Cannon to completely recover before storing it in his storage bag, leaving it to cool down on its own.

He then transformed into escape light, flew in front of Master Qingcheng, and slightly bowed his hand, saying, ”Greetings, Senior.”

Master Qingcheng looked at him, his eyes somewhat complex.

This veteran Nascent Soul cultivator couldn’t help but praise, ”Young friend, you truly... have remarkable skills.”

Mid-stage Core Formation, yet able to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Isn’t that exceptional skill?

Before Ji Yuan could respond, on the west side of the city, after Eagle Changkong’s death, his Tier Four Spirit Pet, the Skylark, also naturally perished, its body collapsing within the city.

Master Qingcheng’s secret technique clone also dissipated into mana, slowly vanishing in mid-air.

Ji Yuan observed this scene, his eyes twitching slightly.

Not shocked by the Skylark’s demise, but rather because a line of text suddenly appeared on the panel in his mind.

[Golden Core Stage successfully killed 1 Nascent Soul cultivator, meditation room upgrade condition met.]

Without a change in expression, Ji Yuan summoned the panel for a glance.

[Meditation Room: Level 3 (Upgradeable)]

[Spirit Effect: Meditation to forge the Divine Soul, can enhance current realm’s divine sense by 500%.]

[Upgrade Condition: Golden Core Stage kills 1 Nascent Soul cultivator. (Achieved)]

”This spirit effect...”

Ji Yuan remembered, the current Level 2 Meditation Room could only enhance the divine sense by 200% within the current realm.

Now this Level 3 Meditation Room directly doubles this foundation and more.

”Enhancing divine sense by 500%, once I leave Rashamon Sea and improve my cultivation to late-stage Core Formation, then upgrade the Meditation Room to Level 3, my divine sense might match a typical mid-stage Nascent Soul, perhaps?”

”Wouldn’t that mean, in terms of divine sense, I’ve already caught up with most Nascent Soul cultivators?”

After all, late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivators are quite rare.

In the Jiyuan Continent, Ji Yuan currently knows only three.

The Black and White Dual Fiends of the Black and White Divine Hall, and the suspected mother of Xun Tianji, the Extreme Demon Monarch.

”By that time, if I encounter someone like Master Qingcheng at early-stage Nascent Soul, perhaps I might apply some divine sense pressure on them, making them feel pressured.”

Ji Yuan happily fantasized in his heart.

As for the beam of light, it ultimately vanished above the boundless heavenly curtain.

The willow tree rooted in the void disintegrated into spiritual qi once struck by the spiritual light.

”A pity I couldn’t secure Eagle Changkong’s storage bag.”

Ji Yuan had meticulously examined the ground surrounding Eagle Changkong’s fall numerous times with divine sense.

Not even a speck of debris remained.

The Meteor Cannon’s power was truly immense, obliterating everything with a single shot.

Beside him, Master Qingcheng heard this and couldn’t help but stroke his beard, laughing:

”Young friend is truly optimistic. For us loose cultivators, in life-and-death combat, killing the opponent is enough. We wouldn’t dare dream of anything else.”

”But the Tier Four Skylark remains; let’s go have a look.”

With that, two escape lights shot out, drawing an arc across the sky, finally landing beside the Skylark’s corpse.

For spirit pets contracted with cultivators, typically when the cultivator dies, they perish as well.

Because cultivators often implant restrictions in the spirit pet’s divine soul; once dead, both die.

The Skylark before them met this fate, though it appeared externally intact.

It was nevertheless dead.

...Tier Four Demon Beast, with Gold Attribute, this Demon Pill can’t be missed.

”Ahem.”

Before Ji Yuan could speak, Master Qingcheng proactively said, ”Rest assured, this demon beast belongs to you, young friend.”

”Hmm? That won’t do.”

Ji Yuan immediately shook his head upon hearing this.

Master Qingcheng stroked his beard with a chuckle, ”Without you, old man would face great trouble today, couldn’t hope of anything else.”

Ji Yuan continued shaking his head.

”As for the Demon Pill, I indeed need it for my cultivation, but the demon beast’s body, I’ll leave it to senior to handle.”

Not waiting for Master Qingcheng to decline, Ji Yuan smiled:

”Even if this Tier Four Demon Beast falls into my hands, I wouldn’t be able to handle it, so it’s only right to leave it to senior for greater use.”

For Ji Yuan, these words were partly true and partly false.

The false part was not knowing how to handle it.

This Tier Four Demon Beast was full of treasures, how could he not know how to handle it?

Especially this well-preserved Tier Four Demon Beast, if brought to a Nascent Soul cultivator’s trading event, would certainly attract many Nascent Soul cultivators to bid.
