Longevity through Upgrading Buildings-Chapter 624 - 277: Body Cultivator — Peak of Foundation Establishment

Chapter 624: Chapter 277: Body Cultivator — Peak of Foundation Establishment

Damn, what level of demon beast is this?

Even the Thunderstorm Serpent that Ji Yuan saw earlier in the thunderstorm area wasn’t this ridiculous... Tier Three Peak Demon Beast?

It seems only Hua Yaoyue can handle this!

Just as Ji Yuan was considering whether to call for help, a hoarse and elderly voice sounded in his mind.

It sounded like an old man who’s smoked too much.

He said, "Young man, mind your own business."

Demon beast... has become enlightened!

Demon beast can... talk?!

A term immediately popped into Ji Yuan’s mind... Tier Four Demon Beast.

This is definitely a Tier Four Demon Beast!

A Tier Four Mid-stage Enlightenment Thunder Tribulation beast that will walk the earth like a normal person after passing the thunder tribulation, just like in Mei Manor, while an untranscended Tier Four demon beast.

Its thoughts are no different from an ordinary person’s, it just hasn’t assumed a human form yet.

So Tier Three beasts are relatively easier to kill, but once they truly ascend to Tier Four, they become much harder to kill, their strength rises several levels.

For a moment.

Ji Yuan understood why this Tier Four Demon Beast could hide beneath this watery depth.

The prior searches by the Golden Core Zhenren of Water Dragon Sect never detected the presence of a Tier Four Demon Beast.

Moreover, no one would think that near the Shang Dong Six Immortal Sect’s Water Dragon Sect, a Tier Four Demon Beast would be hidden.

If Ji Yuan hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it even if someone told him.

Ji Yuan was thinking about many things, but fortunately, this Tier Four Demon Beast before him had no intention to attack him, just like it said.

Mind your own business.

If it wanted to attack, Ji Yuan guessed he would either be dead by now.

Or hiding behind Hua Yaoyue.

So as these thoughts flashed through his mind, he slightly bowed to the Tier Four Demon Beast deep in the abyss and said solemnly:

"Junior has no intention of disturbing Senior’s peace, please forgive me."

"Please rest assured, Senior, Junior has always kept my mouth shut tight, I absolutely wouldn’t reveal..."

Before Ji Yuan could finish his sentence, the hoarse voice of the Tier Four Demon Beast sounded again in his mind.

"You carry the aura of that female cultivator around you, I don’t dare kill you, otherwise, do you really think you could stand here and speak with me? Leave quickly."

The aura of a female cultivator... doesn’t dare kill me...

Ji Yuan was slightly stunned, then immediately understood who this Tier Four Demon Beast was referring to.

Hua Yaoyue!

She actually knows there’s a Tier Four Demon Beast hidden underneath Water Dragon Sect, and has even met it!

Well then, Master certainly knows quite a bit... with Hua Yaoyue backing him, Ji Yuan felt less constrained, he casually bowed, then glanced at the recently slain Tier Two Turtle Demon.

Ji Yuan didn’t even bother to take out the Turtle Demon’s demon pill, he just tossed it back.

"If that’s the case, then I won’t disturb Senior’s feast."

The Turtle Demon’s corpse slowly sank to the bottom of the water, but the Tier Four Demon Beast didn’t eat it, instead, it said in a rather strange tone:

"It’s my offspring."

...Ah, this.

Ji Yuan bowed towards the abyss once again, not daring to say half a word more, he directly turned and ran.

First, he frantically activated the Wind Willow Flying Boat and then pressed his hands together firmly, using both his technique and bodily strength to propel himself from the hundreds of meters deep water to the surface in one step.

After discerning the direction a bit, he headed straight north, in just one or two breaths’ time, he plunged into Wuyou Island.

It was only upon returning to his own island that Ji Yuan felt relieved, taking several deep breaths.

There is the Sect Protection Array guarding outside the island, so even if that Tier Four Demon Beast comes out, it could barely be resisted.

He walked back to the living room slowly, poured himself a cup of tea to moisten his throat, then shook his body slightly, expelling all impurities.

’Damn it, I tried to butter up, but ended up flattering the wrong part.’

’Killed its offspring, and even delivered his offspring as a meal... isn’t this just like Bo Yi Kao?’

’But well, from his words, one can hear this Tier Four Demon Beast is also a Turtle Demon, the exact type of turtle is unknown... but turtle-type demon beasts traditionally have long lifespans, could this Tier Four Demon Beast be a living fossil from the Shang Court era?’

The more Ji Yuan thinks about it, the more plausible it feels, even pondering whether to go back and ask.

’Master knows so many things, was it by secretly questioning this old turtle?’

Ji Yuan was thinking and even had a bolder idea... is it possible that this old turtle is actually the sect’s Guardian Divine Beast?

However, judging by its hiding nature, it’s unlikely.

If it were truly a Guardian Divine Beast, there’d be no need to hide this way.

After pondering for a while and failing to resolve the question, Ji Yuan planned to ask Hua Yaoyue next time he visited Forgetful Island. For now, the most urgent issue is cultivation.

Utilize the Spirit Effect of the Scripture Pavilion to raise mastery of the Sword Manual and hasten the condensing of the next flying sword embryo.

However, before that... Ji Yuan slightly clenched his fists, summoning energy and blood throughout his body.

In an instant, his skin turned a bronzed hue, like cast bronze, he tapped his chest lightly with his fist, producing resounding "bang bang bang" sounds.

...Now this is body refinement.

He still wondered what it would be like when dual cultivating with Dong Qian in this form.

Once he thought of Dong Qian, Ji Yuan felt some curiosity, wondering where exactly she had gone, why hadn’t she returned yet?

Ji Yuan had nowhere to seek her, only waiting for her return.

Afterward, he didn’t waste any more time, although his body had just made a breakthrough, he plunged straight into the Scripture Pavilion once again, reopening the Spirit Effect of the Enlightenment Room.

With dual effects enhancing, he began slowly comprehending Sword Manual cultivation.

His previous mastery had reached 76, and comprehending within the Scripture Pavilion enabled him to improve by one point roughly every 20 days.

Thus, three months later.

Ji Yuan’s Sword Manual mastery improved to 80, he did not suppress his cultivation level.

Once the mastery was sufficient, he sneaked away quietly to the estuary of Starfall River.

That area was near Coastal City.

There, using the vast water transport, he stealthily condensed his eighth flying sword embryo.

The sword embryo was large, noticeably longer and wider than the other sword embryos.

It had no special effects, only remarkable attack power and defense.

After all, when activated, it resembled the giant sword of Rou Yi.

So Ji Yuan decided to give it a name.

Its name: "Great Que."
