Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1047: Chapter 384: The Might of Old Demon Ji!

All you know is to repeatedly call “Body Cultivator of Core Formation Realm”.

Ji Yuan glanced at him, didn’t say it outright, just asked back: “What do you think?”

“Then I understand… the Black and White Divine Hall, truly worthy of being a Divine Hall.”

Qi Xiu sighed deeply, his voice full of helplessness.

Ji Yuan didn’t interrupt his fantasy; after all, he didn’t confirm or deny anything, how Qi Xiu wants to think is entirely up to him.

Just as Ji Yuan was preparing to completely annihilate Qi Xiu’s Divine Soul, or let the Ghost Envoy take away his Divine Soul to trade for Contribution Points, he suddenly heard Qi Xiu speak quickly via voice transmission:

“We both cultivated the ‘Soul Suppression Scripture of Nine Towers’, both the upper and lower parts, and then meet just upon entering Rashamon Sea, Brother Qiu don’t you think it’s a coincidence… Actually, it’s not a coincidence!”

“The truth is when you just entered, the Ghost Envoy informed me of the situation and even asked if I should be sent to your side… The Ghost Envoy is deliberately stoking conflict between us, there’s something eerie here, be careful Brother Qiu, be cautious…”

As Qi Xiu finished speaking, the icy voice of the Ghost Envoy suddenly echoed in their ears.

“Alright, done speaking?”

“Done speaking, then off you go.”

After it spoke, Ji Yuan realized the Divine Soul of Qi Xiu within the Purple Lightning Prison… was gone.

Vanished without a trace.

“The Divine Soul is mine, I’ve given you an extra 100 Contribution Points.”

After the Ghost Envoy’s cold voice finished, the text on Ji Yuan’s Identity Jade flashed, and then it left entirely.

Apparently, it didn’t want to give Ji Yuan any opportunity to question… Ji Yuan wanted to ask, but even if he got the answer, he wouldn’t dare to believe it.

So to say, in this world there is truly no such thing as coincidence.

At least within this Rashamon Sea, there is no such thing as coincidence; all these so-called coincidences are actually orchestrated by the Ghost Envoy from the shadows.

The purpose is merely to incite conflict and strife.

Like myself and Qi Xiu, each having cultivated half of the ‘Soul Suppression Scripture of Nine Towers’, placed together just for conflict.

What about the others?

Whenever there’s a bit of conflict, or more precisely, a conflict of interest, it’s likely stoking it.

And Ji Yuan now knows the ultimate aim of the Ghost Envoy stoking relationships; it’s all about Divine Souls, because the Yin Souls that died due to faction conflicts were all collected by it.

Thus my Soul Banner became useless.

Now when facing me, it doesn’t even pretend.

Previously killed Xu Qing, now deceased Qi Xiu, their Divine Souls were both collected by it.

So what does an Array Spirit need these Divine Souls for?

Ji Yuan frowned, but now clearly wasn’t the time to dwell on it. He turned to look at the other battlefield.

The Crimson Flame Monkey was clearly bound by a master-slave contract with Qi Xiu, and now that Qi Xiu had died, it naturally died as well. The two Frost Serpents naturally would not pass up such a meal, coiled together, feasting.

Yet no one dared to touch the Tier Three Demon Pill.

Ji Yuan lifted his gaze to retrieve the Demon Pill, then lowered his gaze toward the swamp below.

In just a moment, the corpse of Qi Xiu that fell into the swamp had already begun to rot.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, Ji Yuan still put this bisected corpse into the [Chaotic Burial Mound].

Half a body still has potential to turn into a Corpse Puppet, on this matter, Ji Yuan certainly has the authority to speak.

Even if not, leaving it inside as fertilizer isn’t bad either, better than leaving it to the Ghost Envoy.

Qi Xiu’s Storage Bag was still at his waist, Ji Yuan directly removed it, scanned it with his Divine Sense… indeed there’s quite a few good things, truly worthy of a Peak Core Formation Storage Bag.

But the piece of human skin he spoke of recording ‘Soul Suppression Scripture of Nine Towers’, Ji Yuan indeed did not find.

Could it really be as he said, thrown into the swamp?

Ji Yuan searched the vicinity again, found the area where he performed Demon Skills and transformed into a blood cocoon that fell.

Using Nascent Soul Stage Divine Sense to probe the underground with a purposeful search, soon enough, he truly found another Storage Bag within this swamp. Taking it out and looking inside, there was only a solitary piece of human skin parchment.

… that Qi Xiu, at least said a few words of truth before dying.

Ji Yuan muttered silently to himself, then summoned back the two Frost Serpents, after discernibly determining directions, he retreated along the path he had come from.

Toxic miasma surged in from all sides, swampy water continued to seep into the depressions.

Traces from the battle grew increasingly faint, in no time, it would all return to how it was.

As Ji Yuan was retreating from the battlefield, he quickly noticed another issue… he originally thought retracing his steps would have fewer rotten corpses, but soon realized he was wrong, in the area he just killed through, those rotten corpses had somehow returned!

Just the numbers were not as many as before.

After some time, as Ji Yuan consecutively eliminated over a dozen early-stage and mid-stage Core Formation rotten corpses, his Divine Sense swept around confirming there was no one, he then flashed and entered the Mountain of Mind and Heart.

His Lifebound Magical Treasure transformed into a fine dust, falling into the boundless desolate marsh.
