Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1156: Chapter 407: Late-stage Core Formation! [Enlightenment Room: Level 3][Meditation Room: Level 3]

As long as it works.

What I’m afraid of is that after chopping off one branch, I won’t be able to upgrade anymore.

As the materials vanished, a quiet and peaceful aura filled the entire stone chamber.

Ji Yuan only sensed it for an instant before his Divine Soul suddenly became crystal clear.

”This is...”

Ji Yuan immediately recalled that this was the same feeling as when he used the Spirit-Link Incense.

In other words.

When this [Enlightenment Room] upgrades, it can actually temporarily boost his comprehension!

With such a good thing, how could he possibly let it slip by?

Ji Yuan didn’t hesitate in the slightest. He sat down right where he was and began comprehending the ”Sword Manual”.

Before entering the Rashamon Sea, when he was in seclusion in the Bone Nightmare Sect, he had already accumulated the proficiency of this ”Sword Manual” to about the limit.

Just like now, he once again superimposed the building effect of the [Scripture Pavilion] onto the [Enlightenment Room] before him, and then words surfaced on the stone wall in front of his eyes.

[”Canglan Nine Tribulations Sword Manual”]

[Proficiency: 299/400]

Just one more point of proficiency and it would reach 300.

Once proficiency hit 300, he would be able to glimpse the scenery of Late-stage Core Formation.

By then, Ji Yuan felt that across the whole Jiyuan Continent, there wouldn’t be many people left that could make him feel fear.

After all, a man with Nine Nether Burning Life Brew in hand is not afraid to ”reason” with you.

At worst, he just downs a mouthful of wine—my fate is mine, not heaven’s!

After sweeping his gaze over the words on the stone wall and understanding his current situation, Ji Yuan was able to relax further into his comprehension and cultivation.

As for the phenomena that appeared when the [Enlightenment Room] upgraded, Ji Yuan didn’t have the spare time to look closely.

No matter how spectacular the phenomenon, it was just like the vision when the [Spirit Field] rose to Level 5.

All you could do was look.

Even after watching it through, you wouldn’t gain that many benefits.

But the benefits of the current upgrade of the [Enlightenment Room] were different; enhancing comprehension was a solid, tangible gain.

Very soon, Ji Yuan sank into a mysterious, profound state of enlightenment.

The contents recorded in the ”Sword Manual” spun rapidly through his mind, and many parts he hadn’t been able to fully grasp before now suddenly became clear.

”But that’s still not enough.”

”If I want to succeed in one stroke, I still need to borrow some external means.”

Thinking this, Ji Yuan took out a Pill Essence Fruit from his Storage Bag.

Although the [Spirit Field] had already risen to Level 5, the Spirit Effect of Level 4 would not disappear.

Aside from that, there were also those two pieces of Immortal Talent that the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother had given him earlier, both able to increase Core Formation Cultivation.

Back in the Rashamon Sea, Ji Yuan had taken them out to be inspected by Master Qingcheng.

Even with the methods of that veteran Nascent Soul cultivator, he hadn’t been able to find any problems on those two Immortal Talents.

Looked at this way, they really were fine.

Thinking it over carefully, Ji Yuan found it made sense—back then they still needed him to enter the Rashamon Sea to work for them; they couldn’t very well tamper with the Treasures of Heaven and Earth he used to raise his cultivation.

He hadn’t dared to use them directly at the time only as a precaution.

Not to mention, Ji Yuan had also found many pieces of Immortal Talent that could raise cultivation inside the Storage Bags he’d obtained from the Rashamon Sea.

Some had been accumulated over many years, some had been looted from houses in the Inner Realm, and some had been exchanged from the Ghost Envoys.

But regardless of their source, now they had all fallen into Ji Yuan’s hands.

That was why Ji Yuan had always felt that before Nascent Soul, he wouldn’t run into any problems in cultivation.

What he needed was only time, only slow grinding work.

Given enough time, if his cultivation could be raised to Peak of Core Formation...

Ji Yuan felt he could swagger sideways across both the Cangluo Continent and the Jiyuan Continent.

After all, those two continents didn’t have any Divinity Transformation Cultivators.

”...”

With one thought, enlightenment rose.

The world in his heart grew vast.

Ji Yuan didn’t know how long had passed. He only felt that after taking the Azure Bamboo Mystic Spirit, a bottleneck within his body seemed to have been broken through, suddenly becoming clear and open.

The feeling was like having his meridians blasted open.

Ji Yuan let out a muffled groan, and then the Blood Pill within his Dantian began to spin madly, the ”Canglan Nine Tribulations Sword Manual” joining in its circulation.

An immense suction force surged from Ji Yuan’s body.

Then a visible Spiritual Energy Vortex appeared, centered on Ji Yuan’s position, crazily drawing in all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi on the entire island.

But this nameless desolate offshore island didn’t even have a Spirit Vein beneath it; with how thin the Spiritual Qi was here, it was completely insufficient to sustain Ji Yuan’s breakthrough.

Yet what did that matter?

Ji Yuan merely moved his Heart Thought; a speck of dust fell, and his figure vanished from where he stood.

When he appeared again, he was already within the [Spirit Vein] of the Mountain of Mind and Heart, Fangcun Mountain.

Once there, he again piled all the Mid-grade Spirit Stones from his Storage Bag around him, turning them into small Spirit Stone Mountains.

No matter what, Ji Yuan had always prepared the Spirit Stones needed for cultivation.

He couldn’t afford to have the chain snap at a critical moment.

So even back then, when he fired the [Meteor Cannon] to blast Eagle Changkong, he hadn’t touched this stash of Spirit Stones reserved for his breakthrough.

Thus, the Spiritual Energy Vortex outside lasted only for an instant; after drawing in all the Spiritual Qi of the island, it vanished immediately.

Heaven and earth returned to stillness.

Ji Yuan, meanwhile, continuously absorbed the Spiritual Qi produced by the [Spirit Vein], as well as the Spiritual Qi within the surrounding Spirit Stones, while constantly refining the energy of the Treasures of Heaven and Earth he had just swallowed.

Again, who knew how much time passed.

Ji Yuan opened his eyes from cultivation, a sharp light flashing within them, and the aura on his body surged and shifted in an instant.
