Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 568: Chapter 259: Violet Eyes; True Dragon

”Indeed, nothing is more important than Foundation Establishment.”

Ji Yuan nodded slightly.

”Well, I’ll let you get back to it, Senior Brother Ji, I won’t disturb you any longer.”

After Fang Jie spoke, he cupped his fists towards Ji Yuan.

”Alright, farewell.”

After bidding farewell to Fang Jie, Ji Yuan continued heading northeast. This time, he did not encounter any acquaintances until he saw the long-lost Wan You Island. Only then did his worried heart finally settle.

It seemed Hua Yaoyue had been waiting for Ji Yuan for some time. Without waiting for him to speak, the island’s array automatically opened a gap.

Ji Yuan passed through the array and went straight to the all-too-familiar pavilion nestled in the mountains.

The wind chimes around jingled melodiously.

Hua Yaoyue was still lying on the soft chair Ji Yuan had gifted her, opening her eyes to observe her closed-door disciple as he approached to pay his respects.

After Ji Yuan paid his respects, she took the initiative to ask, ”How was your trip this time? Was it smooth?”

Ji Yuan cupped his hands and replied, ”It was... both smooth and not smooth.”

”Hmm?”

Hua Yaoyue frowned slightly, while Ji Yuan fetched three large wine jars from his Storage Bag.

Each jar could hold twenty catties of wine, with two jars filled with Heart’s Desire Wine, and the remaining one with Unrivaled Wine.

”This is the wine I brewed on the road, Master. Please accept it.”

Hua Yaoyue slightly sat up to look at the wine placed in front of her, remaining silent for a moment before saying, ”You are thoughtful.”

Traveling far and wide, even through life and death, yet not forgetting to brew wine for me.

Is this not thoughtful?

After speaking, she took the three jars of wine.

”So, what happened on your journey this time?”

Ji Yuan was silent.

Hua Yaoyue, seeing him not speaking, looked at him with doubt.

With just one glance, Hua Yaoyue stood up from her soft chair.

She looked at her disciple with disbelief, her eyes filled with shock, and even rubbed her eyes, thinking she had seen wrong.

She couldn’t believe it.

Because at this moment, Ji Yuan’s forehead had a purple vertical eye open, scrutinizing his master.

Hua Yaoyue was astonished.

Ji Yuan was equally shocked, and somewhat incredulous.

After all, who would have thought that a Nascent Soul True Monarch would wear ordinary clothes?

Not even a Spirit Robe, nor a Magic Robe, just a long dress made of ordinary fabric.

After regaining his composure, Ji Yuan hurriedly closed the vertical eye on his forehead, afraid that continued gazing might expose him.

”Master... Master, do you know the origin of the vertical eye on my forehead?”

Ji Yuan asked, voice trembling.

From Hua Yaoyue’s reaction, he knew... she recognized the PWoang Divine Eyes, aware of their origin!

”First, tell me where you got this thing from.”

Hua Yaoyue, for the first time, did not immediately answer Ji Yuan’s question but instead asked him back.

”At that mysterious pool on Ice and Fire Island, within the Ice and Fire Pool.”

”There?”

Hua Yaoyue seemed somewhat unconvinced and furrowed her brows to ask.

”Exactly.”

Ji Yuan then proceeded to detail the events without omission. Facing Ice and Fire Elder, he needed to consider every detail.

But facing Hua Yaoyue, he did not hide anything.

He even mentioned the position he used to enter the water.

And that Ice and Fire Elder also had a purple vertical eye on his forehead.

Upon hearing all this, Hua Yaoyue fell into a long silence.

Ji Yuan did not press on, waiting in silence for a long time, until Hua Yaoyue finally sighed deeply, ”Time and fate.”

”Master... what is this thing exactly?”

Ji Yuan touched his forehead, again feeling the urge to reveal the PWoang Divine Eyes, but recalling the scene he just witnessed, he refrained.

”This vertical eye is called the PWoang Divine Eyes.”

Master indeed knows everything!

”What, the PWoang Divine Eyes?” Ji Yuan was astonished.

”Hmm, you know it?”

”I don’t. Disciple just thinks the name is quite imposing.”

”Ha, the Purple-eyed Race, claiming ’a vertical eye on the forehead, a sage descends from the heavens,’ isn’t it imposing?” Hua Yaoyue chuckled mockingly.

Why does Master seem slightly resentful?

Ji Yuan tentatively asked, ”Master, are you speaking the truth or just... venting?”

”The truth.”

Hua Yaoyue took a deep breath, then laid back on the soft chair, her previously shocked expression returned to normal.

”You only need to know that among the myriad races, there are distinctions in bloodline quality. Like our Human Race, although anyone with a Spirit Root can cultivate, and cultivation has no upper limit, in the grand scale of the world, our Human Race’s talent is merely average, for even Celestial Spirit Roots and Abnormal Spirit Roots, at birth, are just mortals.”

Listening to Hua Yaoyue’s explanation, Ji Yuan faintly began to understand.

”Just like the Demon Race. For example, the Big-mouthed Clam Beast can only reach Tier Two Demon Beast at most, but a Winged Flying Tiger can reach Tier Three, is that right?”

”Yes.”

”But actually, these are not significant. For instance, a True Dragon is born able to rival Tier Four Demon Beasts. Once fully grown, they can contend with our Human Race’s Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators.”

”Wha... what?”

In shock, Ji Yuan also thought about his Fish Pond.

If it were to keep upgrading, eventually, it could raise True Dragons. By then... unleashing a pool of True Dragons, who could match them?

”The rarity of the Purple-eyed Race’s bloodline rivals that of True Dragons.”

Hua Yaoyue squinted at Ji Yuan, hinting at her words.

Ji Yuan: ”Huh?”

Just when he thought he was about to step into greatness, Hua Yaoyue added, ”But for someone like you, possessing the PWoang Divine Eyes but lacking the Purple-eyed Race’s bloodline... remember to keep it hidden.”
