Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1211: Chapter 419: Swallowing Spirit Wine in One Gulp, My Fate Is Mine, Not Heaven’s!

Hot.

Scorching hot!

This is Ji Yuan’s only feeling right now.

Falling into this Soul-Devouring Burning Yuan Fire, he thought he could rely on his speed to forcibly break through this anomalous fire zone and dive directly into the underground magma area.

But after his whole body was immersed in the Soul-Devouring Burning Yuan Fire, he realized.

This Soul-Devouring Burning Yuan Fire actually has a barrier ability!

His figure fell in, as if he had dropped into a swamp.

It was difficult to go out upwards, and difficult to penetrate downwards.

He could only move here with difficulty, manipulating his body, sinking inch by inch.

”Damn it, this Soul-Devouring Burning Yuan Fire is really tricky... if only I could obtain it!”

Ji Yuan thought subconsciously.

”However, there was one thing Mei Manor didn’t lie about. After activating the anomaly and wearing the Partridge Armor, my physical defense is definitely at the strength of a Golden Body Profound Bone, so these Soul-Devouring Burning Yuan Fire... although hard to endure, can’t hurt me; it just takes more time.”

Once he understood this, Ji Yuan felt much more at ease, and focused single-mindedly on resisting the Soul-Devouring Burning Yuan Fire surging from all sides.

His body sank little by little.

He didn’t know how long had passed when he suddenly felt the pressure on his feet abruptly disappear.

He dared not release his Divine Sense rashly to probe, but judging purely by experience, it surely indicated that his feet had finally penetrated the region of the Soul-Devouring Burning Yuan Fire!

Receiving positive feedback and seeing hope, Ji Yuan naturally continued his endeavors.

After another half an hour passed, as the last trace of pressure above his head disappeared.

Ji Yuan, whose whole body was wrapped in a layer of black armor, finally successfully passed through the region of the Soul-Devouring Burning Yuan Fire and reached the interior of the volcanic lake.

Now freely swimming, Ji Yuan submerged about a mile before releasing the Protective Spirit Light, then quickly formed a Protective Technique, isolating the surrounding magma; his whole body returned to normal.

The Partridge Armor retracted back into his body. He looked at the crimson surroundings and finally released his Divine Sense.

His mid-stage Nascent Soul Divine Sense surged furiously toward the depths of the volcanic lake, and in the span of a breath, Ji Yuan had uncovered an anomaly.

Or rather, it was what Mei Manor had mentioned... the Secret of Divinity Transformation!

About thirty miles away from where Ji Yuan currently was, it was clearly already deep underwater, but still far from the actual magma layer.

The location where the Secret of Divinity Transformation is stored is not really that deep.

”I wonder why Mei Manor didn’t directly open the mountain and take this Secret of Divinity Transformation. Is it that their strength is inadequate, or is there some other reason?”

As Ji Yuan’s thoughts flashed, the true image of the Secret of Divinity Transformation had already emerged in his mind.

There it stood—a treasure gourd!

Its shape was not like a wine gourd, but like a medicine gourd, entirely purple as if crafted from Purple Gold, almost identical to the Purple Gold Gourd Ji Yuan imagined.

Ji Yuan’s form plunged downward, and within a few breaths, he reached the side of the Purple Gold Gourd.

This gourd seemed to form its own domain, surprisingly able to isolate the surrounding magma.

With the Purple Gold Gourd so close, radiating rich treasure light, Ji Yuan instinctively reached out to grab it.

But before he could touch... this Purple Gold Gourd transformed into a purple stream of light, shooting straight upward with incredible speed.

Ji Yuan naturally assumed it intended to flee, so he instantly moved to follow.

”Whoosh—”

”Whoosh—”

The sound of magma being sliced through echoed twice, and as Ji Yuan reacted, he discovered he was already back below the Soul-Devouring Burning Yuan Fire by just three meters.

As he hurriedly stopped himself, he discovered...

The Purple Gold Gourd was absorbing the Soul-Devouring Burning Yuan Fire!

Originally an expansive area of Soul-Devouring Burning Yuan Fire now transformed into a white band, wholly absorbed by the Purple Gold Gourd, ultimately disappearing into the gourd.

Ji Yuan again reached out to grab it, but the gourd’s mouth aimed directly at him!

Right after being absorbed into its body, the Soul-Devouring Burning Yuan Fire was released from the Purple Gold Gourd, pouring toward Ji Yuan.

As Ji Yuan shed his own technique, he quickly released the Partridge Armor for protection.

The flame attack was ineffective.

But the speed at which the Purple Gold Gourd absorbed was extremely fast, and within a few breaths, the vast area of Soul-Devouring Burning Yuan Fire had already been completely absorbed.

Then, the Purple Gold Gourd flew upward again.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan felt a moment of peace.

Even though he hadn’t grabbed the Purple Gold Gourd, as long as he drove it out, that was enough.

As for what follows, it’s definitely the business of Mei Manor...

...

”It’s here!”

Long before the reduction of the Soul-Devouring Burning Yuan Fire, Mei Manor had already noticed the anomaly, so when a purple stream of light flew out, he judged that it was the treasure within flying out.

So, standing above the volcanic lake, he immediately reached out and grabbed forward.

As a huge purple Hand Seal formed in the sky above the volcanic lake, it suddenly closed tightly.

Grabbing... nothing!

Just as the Purple Gold Gourd was about to fall into Mei Manor’s grasp, it suddenly accelerated, passing through the gaps in the hand.

”Hmm?”

The late-reacting Great Crocodile Ancestor and Green Robe Ancestor also flashed to pursue, but couldn’t catch up with the Purple Gold Gourd in terms of speed.

The gourd flickered several times above the volcanic lake, neutralizing all the techniques of these three Transformed Demons.
