Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 314 Finally Arriving at the Abyss Continent [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

"What kind of approach...?"

Du Wanyi asked instinctively, but as soon as she finished speaking, she realized what she was doing and changed her question to, "And what about you, Fourth Brother? What are your plans?"

"I?"

Ji Yuan clenched his right fist on the tea table, then raised his hand, and several array flags flew out and were planted in various places in the room. The array restrictions instantly opened and covered the entire room.

"I have a way to get to the Abyss Continent."

"This Canglu Continent is too chaotic, and I can't stay here for too long. I will definitely go there in the future, but for now... I have some things to do here."

"Second sister, if you have any ideas, I can send you there first."

Ji Yuan blurted it all out in one breath.

There's no point in hiding this from Du Wanyi; she can just tell the truth.

Moreover, compared to the Canglu Continent, the Jiyuan Continent is indeed safer. Therefore, Ji Yuan sincerely hopes that Du Wanyi can go there first, so that when he goes there, he will have a place to stay.

"What? The Abyss Continent?"

Admittedly, Du Wanyi was extremely surprised to hear this.

"right."

"Fourth brother, you actually have a way to get to the Abyss Continent?"

"Yes, I have nautical charts."

Ji Yuan still speaks the truth.

After hearing this, Du Wanyi did not answer immediately, but remained silent for a while.

Ji Yuan wasn't in a hurry; these kinds of things can't be decided in a short time.

So he then wandered around Du Wanyi's courtyard, leaving the room for his second sister to think.

During this time, Ji Yuan also met the maid Xiao He. When she saw Ji Yuan, she was both afraid and curious.

"You...you are also an immortal, like Miss?"

Xiaohe asked somewhat fearfully.

Ji Yuan shook his head. "No."

"what?"

"I am... the Demon Lord."

As Ji Yuan spoke, he suddenly put on his demonic attire.

He originally thought that Xiao He would be frightened when she saw him like this, and he was even prepared to give the little maid a pill.

Unexpectedly, the little maid didn't even blink when she saw his demonic attire.

"With your looks, Fourth Brother, you think you can scare girls? You'd be lucky if you didn't steal their souls."

Behind me came Du Wanyi's giggling.

This made Ji Yuan quite embarrassed, and he quickly changed back to his previous appearance.

Xiaohe realized what was happening, cried out "Ah!", and quickly covered her face and ran to the backyard.

Ji Yuan smiled. This little maid had a good temperament; at least she could relieve his boredom.

"Has Second Sister made up her mind?"

Ji Yuan turned to look at Du Wanyi, who was leaning against the door frame.

"I've made up my mind."

The latter nodded slightly.

So... Ji Yuan went into the house.

The two returned to their previous seats and sat down. Ji Yuan didn't ask any more questions, but silently waited for Du Wanyi to speak.

Du Wanyi remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, "I have been living in Qingqiu City for more than half a year now, and these past six months have been the most peaceful time of my life."

"There is no strife or noise outside here, only peace and tranquility. If I do encounter any trouble, I can easily solve it with my Foundation Establishment cultivation, and I can even help others along the way."

"I've had enough of the fighting and killing in the cultivation world."

Du Wanyi shook her head and sighed.

"I understand now."

Ji Yuan pondered for a moment.

"No, Fourth Brother, you don't understand." Du Wanyi suddenly raised her voice slightly, attracting Ji Yuan to look up. At the same time, her face, which had been slightly bitter, was suddenly filled with a smile.

"But since you, Fourth Brother, are going to venture into the Abyss Continent, how can I, as your second sister, not go?"

"Second sister, you..."

This answer was truly unexpected for Ji Yuan.

Du Wanyi was still smiling. "Since you can't go there yet, Fourth Brother, I'll go first and find out what's going on on the Abyss Continent. I'll also find a place to stay so you won't be completely clueless when you come back."

Ji Yuan instinctively wanted to say yes.

But then he remembered something, "The situation on the Abyss Continent isn't that stable either. Second Sister, it's too risky for you to go alone and investigate."

Upon hearing this, Du Wanyi suddenly smiled.

"Fourth brother, do you see me as a fledgling bird entering the immortal sect, or as a junior sister who needs your care?"

"Don't forget, we both came from Yunyuze. I even ventured into the Nine Nether Cave Heaven and managed to fight my way back to the Water Dragon Sect from the chaotic Corpse-Driving Mountain."

"In other words, I'm not some delicate junior sister."

When Du Wanyi said this last sentence, her aura suddenly changed, and an extremely strong killing intent burst forth from her entire body.

Ji Yuan only realized it at that moment.

My second sister has always been a ruthless person.

The reason he thought Du Wanyi needed care was because his cultivation level was already much higher than Du Wanyi's, and his strength was much greater.

"But... it's still somewhat dangerous."

"So, fourth brother, do you think I'm safe on the Canglu Continent?"

As Du Wanyi spoke, her tone suddenly changed, "Of course, if this sea map is valuable and Fourth Brother refuses to let me go, then so be it. I'll stay here on Canglu Continent and wait to die; that's fine too."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan had no choice but to say helplessly:

"Second sister, you've made up your mind, haven't you?"

"right."

Du Wanyi readily admitted, "I used to think I'd never see you again, so I felt that cultivation was meaningless. But now that I still have the chance to adventure in this cultivation world with my fourth brother, how can I give it up?"

Regarding these almost blunt words.

Ji Yuan is not a good person to answer.

Then I won't answer.

"We don't know what's going on over there, and even if you go there, I won't be able to help you, so you need to be prepared for that."

"Don't worry, Fourth Brother."

As Du Wanyi spoke, she stood up with her hands behind her back, and looked towards the door with her eyes slightly narrowed.

"I've lost interest in the Canglu Continent these days, but perhaps the Jiyuan Continent is different? It's rare that it has reignited my fighting spirit, so please don't discourage me, Fourth Brother."

"good!"

Since things have come to this point...

Ji Yuan naturally couldn't refuse again, so he turned and asked, "Second Sister, when do you plan to set off?"

When is a convenient time for you?

Du Wanyi countered with a question.

"I'm fine with either."

With the sect gone, Ji Yuan is now like a wild horse, doing whatever he wants.

"Then let's hurry. I can't wait to go and see what the Abyss Continent is like."

Du Wanyi said with a smile.

"Alright, then Second Sister, you can pack your things. We'll set off another day."

"it is good."

Du Wanyi readily agreed and immediately began packing her things.

Actually, there wasn't much to pack. She was a cultivator, but most of what was stored here were mundane things. The only thing she couldn't bear to part with was her maid, Xiao He, who had been with her for several months.

Xiaohe, in particular, was a kind-hearted person, and when she heard that Du Wanyi was leaving, she couldn't stop crying.

So Du Wanyi gave her a lot of crude talismans that ordinary people could use, and also gave her a lot of pills.

After she finishes taking these pills, she will be considered a minor expert among mortals, at least capable of protecting herself.

As for money, Du Wanyi left her everything in the house. As long as she didn't misuse it, this money would be enough for her to live on for a lifetime.

Such behavior can be considered to have done everything in one's power.

After everything was packed up, Ji Yuan set off with Du Wanyi.

They hadn't walked far when Ji Yuan remembered that he seemed to have left something behind, so he went back. It didn't take more than a few breaths, and then the two set off again.

It would take nearly a month to sail east from here, so Ji Yuan took advantage of this time to pass the nautical chart to Du Wanyi and tell her to memorize it carefully.

Then Ji Yuan gave her many protective items.

He also gave Du Wanyi a copy of all his foundation-building and alchemy techniques and spells.

The only thing they didn't give me was that Nascent Soul stage demonic technique.

Ji Yuan didn't hold back at all when it came to the remaining spirit stones.

Thinking that Du Wanyi should go to the Abyss Continent first to pave the way, it would be impossible without money.

So Ji Yuan took out 10000 mid-grade spirit stones in one go. It seemed like a lot, but in reality, it was only the output of a [spiritual vein] for three months.

With these spirit stones on me, things should be easier after Du Wanyi gets there.

After all, spirit stones are universally accepted throughout the entire human realm.

His generous offer truly surprised Du Wanyi, who initially didn't want to accept it, but Ji Yuan eventually persuaded her.

A month later.

After killing several Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators who blocked his way, Ji Yuan finally managed to set sail.

Once out to sea, he began to look around for suitable islands to hide on.

At the same time, it constantly adjusts its direction based on its location.

Based on the previous experience, the passage between the two continents is located directly opposite Black Dragon Island.

To ensure everything went smoothly, Ji Yuan first went to Black Dragon Island.

Compared to Black Dragon Island, which he had seen last time.

At this point, Black Dragon Island became even more chaotic.

The Black Dragon Island that was originally affiliated with the Water Dragon Sect is gone. Now, the island is occupied by a group of Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivators, the most powerful of whom is a pseudo-Core Formation cultivator.

The other party also discovered Ji Yuan and his companion's whereabouts and was planning to come over.

As a result, he was intimidated by Ji Yuan's mid-stage Golden Core divine sense and immediately became obedient.

To be on the safe side, Ji Yuan traveled south from Black Dragon Island for a distance before turning east.

In this way, even if the demonic cultivator noticed his whereabouts, he would assume that he had headed south.

After heading east from Black Dragon Island, you can hardly see any cultivators anymore.

Because the only valuable thing overseas is sea creatures.

But now those demonic cultivators can't even finish using up the resources on the Canglu Continent, let alone devour resources from overseas.

The few auras that were detected all belonged to righteous cultivators hiding overseas.

"Fourth brother, when are you coming?"

Du Wanyi couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm...it could take a few months to a year."

Ji Yuan had already considered this issue.

In a year, a hundred or so Foundation Establishment cultivators should be enough.

Moreover, Ji Yuan was also preparing to see if he could get more corpses over.

[Mass Graveyard] requires 100 Foundation Establishment corpses to upgrade to level 3, so how many will it take to upgrade to level 4?

There must be quite a few of them.

In addition, we will definitely need a lot of Core Formation stage corpses. It might be difficult to get them in the Extreme Abyss Continent. We can just get more here in the Azure Fall Continent.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you over there."

The two had already discussed how to contact each other, so they weren't worried about losing contact after going to the Abyss Continent.

Several days later, Ji Yuan arrived at the place that the old demon who had crossed the sea had brought him to last time. He had already checked with his divine sense and found that there were no other cultivators nearby.

Testing the waters is even simpler.

With a wave of his hand, Ji Yuan sent out dozens of water droplets, most of which disappeared without a trace. Only a few droplets nearby drifted away intact.

"Walk!"

Ji Yuan summoned a wooden puppet to protect himself and rushed into the passage ahead.

Du Wanyi glanced back at the west one last time before following closely behind and disappearing into the boundless wind curtain.

With the nautical chart in hand, and Hua Yaoyue having already scouted the route, Ji Yuan wouldn't have needed to make this trip.

But he wasn't comfortable letting Du Wanyi go alone, and he also wanted to familiarize himself with the route, so he decided to go with her.

The passage isn't actually that long; if you were to fly at full speed, it would only take a little over a day.

However, the route is very circuitous, with some parts even underwater, and some parts even passing through the territory of fourth-tier sea beasts.

Therefore, Ji Yuan and his companion did not walk very fast, especially on the underwater section.

Ji Yuan had almost pushed his concealment technique to its limit before the two of them managed to cross the sea area without any major incident.

Ten days later.

Beneath a calm sponge, a flying boat suddenly burst forth, finally landing on the water's surface and gliding far away.

"Phew, we finally made it."

Even Ji Yuan breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

Standing behind him, Du Wanyi curiously looked around, only to discover...

"This is no different from our Canglu Continent."

"They're all on this human continent, so how different can they be?" Ji Yuan smiled. "But once Second Sister has fully set foot on the Abyss Continent, she'll probably notice the difference."

"Yes, Fourth Brother, don't worry."

Throughout this journey, this is the sentence that Du Wanyi has said most often.

"Okay, of course I'm at ease, but Second Sister, don't let your guard down. Be extremely careful here all alone."

Ji Yuan couldn't help but give another word of advice.

"Um."

Du Wanyi responded with a deep voice and did not say anything more.

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat somber.

Both of them knew that they were about to part ways again.

Fortunately, they would meet again soon after this separation, so Du Wanyi wasn't too sad. She simply released her flying boat and leaped across.

"Alright, fourth brother, we've already taken you this far, there's no need to see us off any further."

Du Wanyi smiled, feigning nonchalance.

"Okay, then you go first, Second Sister, I'll leave later."

"Well... that's fine too."

Du Wanyi quickly turned her head away, as if afraid that Ji Yuan would see something.

"Well... I'll be going now. Fourth brother, please be careful when you get back."

"Okay, I will."

Ji Yuan's voice was also slightly low.

But then I thought about it again, and it was just like what he said to Hua Yaoyue.

This parting is for a better reunion next time.

Now that Du Wanyi has come over, I won't be completely alone next time I come here.

At least we'll have a place to stay.

Or to be more precise, it's about having a sense of belonging.

"Then I'm really leaving."

After saying this, Du Wanyi seemed afraid that she would regret it, so she quickly urged the flying boat under her feet, which turned into a streak of light and headed east along the sea.

At that time, the sun had just risen from the sea and was slightly dazzling, so Ji Yuan could only squint to see it.

He only slowly withdrew his gaze when Du Wanyi was no longer in sight.

But he didn't rush to leave. Instead, he took out two pieces of white paper from his storage bag.

Previously, when he was in Qingqiu City of Xi Kingdom, he had already left, but his divine sense discovered the two pieces of white paper that Xiaohe had taken out. He said that Du Wanyi had written them down earlier and had been reluctant to burn them.

Ji Yuan picked up the first sheet of white paper with her right hand, turned it open, and saw a line of delicate handwriting on it.

Ji Yuan had seen this character before when he was still in Yun Yu Ze.

So it looks quite familiar at this moment.

It was written in black and white on the white paper:

"Cut cloud-like garments, apply crimson lips, the sword tassel hangs empty, awaiting the return of the beloved."

When Ji Yuan saw this line of text, his hand trembled slightly.

Without thinking too much, he quickly pulled out a second sheet of white paper. The writing on this sheet was much more scribbled, which seemed to reflect Du Wanyi's state of mind when she wrote those words.

It was still written in black and white:

"Embroidered in a green robe, dressed in red makeup, I can't forget my beloved."

For a moment, even someone as pure-hearted as Ji Yuan felt that the two blank sheets of paper in his hands weighed more than ten thousand pounds.

He suddenly looked up in the direction where Du Wanyi had disappeared, and instinctively wanted to chase after her.

Even though the flying boat beneath their feet had already been activated, it still stopped.

Even if we catch up, what then?

He said he wanted to become a Daoist couple with Du Wanyi?

Ji Yuan couldn't bring himself to say it. He felt that to say it so easily would be disrespectful to Du Wanyi's sincere feelings.

...Well, let's deal with that another day.

The most urgent task right now is to upgrade the [Mass Burial Mound] and then reach Core Formation as soon as possible.

We couldn't care about anything else.

Only now that my physical body has reached the Golden Core stage can I dare to think about these things.

Ultimately, it all comes down to performance.

With this thought in mind, Ji Yuan put away the two pieces of white paper in his hand, took a deep breath, and plunged into the seabed, retracing his steps back to the place where he had come from.

……

Several months later.

On the Canglu Continent, above Linhai City, a ripple of water appeared, and then two elderly figures emerged from the water.

One black and one white.

After they appeared, they used their divine sense to scan the surrounding sea area.

"So this is the Cangluo Continent. It really does look like an island. Tsk tsk tsk, such a small area."

"Ha, who says otherwise?"

The old man in black robes sneered.

"The Holy Lord who founded the Commercial Court was originally from our Abyss Continent, wasn't he? What future do you expect from the Azure Fall Continent? Otherwise, why would you need to ask us for external assistance?"

"Yes... someone's here."

After the white-robed old man finished speaking, he looked up and saw a streak of blood-red light rushing from afar. After flashing a few times, it landed in front of them and transformed into a bewitching woman.

"Alright, Canglu's matter is settled, and the promised benefits will be given to you both. As for anything else... I won't trouble you two to do anything."

After the alluring woman finished speaking, she pointed forward, and two storage bags appeared in front of the two old men.

But neither of them took it; they just looked at each other, then smiled and said:

"No, no, no."

"Didn't we agree to restart the teleportation array between our two continents?"

As the old man in black robes spoke, the old man in white robes stepped forward.

"The main reason my brother and I have come here is to... establish trade relations with Canglu."
