Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 317 The Power of Ji Yuan! [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

"Buzzing—"

As swarms of Soul-Devouring Bees flew out, a tremor resounded throughout the entire sky.

Now that the fight has begun, Ji Yuan has no reason to run away!

Not to mention that the move that he initially thought was sure to succeed not only failed to kill the Hundred Insect Immortal, but also made him realize his identity as a body cultivator.

That makes it even more impossible for them to run away.

If we don't kill him to silence him, and if word gets out about this body cultivation...

Not to mention the Canglu Continent, even the Jiyuan Continent would probably launch a relentless pursuit against me!

Not only did he manage to clear the dead end of the path of body cultivation, but he also reached the Tendon Forging Realm, which is comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator.

They can also practice the Dharma together.

Which cultivator wouldn't be tempted?

Back to the present... strange insects versus strange insects.

Ji Yuan, who was already standing on the mountain peak, leaped up and landed on the Sky-Splitting Flying Boat. In an instant, he rushed out of the formation. He activated the Soul-Suppressing Bell in his sea of ​​consciousness to protect his soul, and at the same time, he summoned the top-grade spiritual weapon, the Fire Willow Flying Knife.

A fiery red streak of light rose from the ground, like a long arrow piercing the sun, and shot straight toward the Hundred Insect Immortal in mid-air.

"Heh, just a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"How dare an ant try to shake a giant tree?"

As he spoke, the Immortal of a Hundred Insects raised his right hand and pointed it forward.

In an instant, a protective golden light appeared in front of him, its radiance flowing outwards, and it steadily blocked the Fire Willow Flying Knife.

What?!

When Ji Yuan saw this scene, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

So, is this the true strength of a Core Formation cultivator?!

A casual move of his protective golden light was enough to block his top-grade spiritual weapon flying knife.

So it seems that killing the Fire Python Master earlier was actually a lucky break.

"Little Doyle".

The Hundred Insect Immortal stroked his beard and smiled, looking as if he had Ji Yuan completely under his control.

"Then let me show you my little trick!"

As Ji Yuan spoke, he flicked his right hand, and four black pebbles were thrown out, forming a square, and landed steadily in the four directions above, below, left, and right of Bai Chong Lao Xian.

"boom--"

The four thunderbolts exploded simultaneously.

This was equivalent to a full-force attack from a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator. Although it still couldn't break through the protective golden light of the Hundred Insect Immortal, it blasted him into a dusty mess, forcing him to retreat dozens of feet to avoid its sharp edge.

"you……"

Before he could speak, Ji Yuan, who was right behind him, threw out four more Heavenly Thunderbolts, which exploded around him.

For a moment, the entire sky was filled with the terrifying sound of thunder.

"Arrogant!"

The Hundred Insect Immortal seemed to be enraged. With a wave of his sleeve, a golden shield wall suddenly formed in front of him.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan stopped wasting the Heavenly Thunder Stones.

Instead, he raised his hand and threw out the Fire Willow Flying Knife again.

"bite--"

The throwing knife, trailing a rainbow of light, slammed into the golden shield wall, sending countless sparks flying.

Along with it spread out, a huge ripple of spiritual energy also appeared.

Ji Yuan formed hand seals, and two flying sword embryos flew out from his dantian, bypassing the golden shield wall on the left and right, and attacked the Hundred Insect Immortal from both sides.

Left: Dragon's Fortune; Right: Cloud Palace.

"laugh--"

Having already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, Ji Yuan fully activated the flying sword embryo, and its power was far beyond what it had been before.

The flying sword pierced the air and arrived in front of him in an instant.

Showing off its sharp edge!

As a result, even the golden light protecting the Hundred Insect Immortal's body cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He had to be distracted by defense, and his face became more serious.

"So that's why they were so fearless; they really do have some skill!"

The Hundred Insect Immortal sneered.

"It's only polite to reciprocate; let me show you what this old immortal can do!"

After saying this, he reached out and gently stroked the black and white butterfly on his shoulder.

"Go, Butterfly."

The butterfly in the dream flew out.

As Ji Yuan focused his mind, he quickly activated the sect leader's seal on his left thumb.

Since the Hundred Insect Immortal has chosen to take action, he will definitely not just use a single strange insect!

as predicted.

As Mengdie flapped her wings, Ji Yuan also saw the old man's natal magic weapon.

That was a... mirror!

The front was perfectly smooth, while the back shone with gold, as if it were carved from a piece of pure gold, but Ji Yuan couldn't see what it was carved about.

All he knew was that the moment the old demon took out the mirror, he pointed it directly at him, and a dazzling golden light suddenly shot out from it.

A double attack is coming.

Ji Yuan quickly put away the Sky-Splitting Flying Boat, then covered his chest with both hands and plummeted towards the ground.

But the Hundred Insect Immortal's precious mirror followed closely behind.

And so, in this endless night, a huge golden pillar of light appeared, seemingly piercing through the heavens and the earth.

It fell from the sky.

It actually cleaved a terrifying crack, tens of feet deep, into a distant mountain.

"They're here!"

Mengdie stirred up a storm, but fortunately, Ji Yuan's divine sense was extremely strong, and with the protection of the Soul-Suppressing Bell, he only lost focus for a moment before reacting.

But at the same time, the golden light also fell on him.

The azure dragon, attacked, immediately swung its tail and unleashed a breath of dragon fire at the golden light.

They only clashed briefly before the golden light was extinguished by the true dragon's breath!

correct!

The sect leader, Xuan Yin, is capable of withstanding attacks from mid-stage Core Formation cultivators. In contrast, what about this Hundred Insect Immortal?

That's only the early stage of Core Formation!

It's impossible to break through the true dragon summoned by the sect leader's profound seal!

Since it can't be broken, this phantom dragon can hold out a little longer.

Ji Yuan immediately leaped up, summoned the Sky-Splitting Flying Boat again, and charged towards the sky.

The moment he stood up, he had already used an offensive talisman—the Giant Deer Sword!

But just then, he seemed to sense something.

Equally shocked, the Hundred Insect Immortal also turned his head to look towards the valley.

The two groups of strange insects, which had been locked in a fierce battle, finally began to move.

The Hundred Insect Immortal was naturally extremely confident in his improved Blazing Army Ants, after all, this was the method that made him famous throughout Shangxi.

But what about now?

His fiery army ants fell down in swarms, tumbling into the array within the valley.

On the other hand, what about Ji Yuan's Soul-Devouring Bees?

There were also many casualties, but because these Soul-Devouring Bees were always moving in and out of this formation, most of the attacks from the Blazing Army Ants missed.

Therefore, although there were casualties at this time, there weren't that many.

The Hundred Insect Immortal withdrew his gaze, and for the first time, he looked at Ji Yuan standing on the flying boat opposite him with such seriousness, and said in a deep voice:

"Good job, young man!"

The fact that Ji Yuan could withstand Meng Die's illusion was already enough to surprise the Hundred Insect Immortal, but what surprised him even more was that Ji Yuan was able to simultaneously control the Spirit-Devouring Bees and the formation.

What kind of powerful divine sense must that be?

If that's the case, then so be it.

The strength of these Soul-Devouring Bees is actually comparable to that of my improved Blazing Army Ants!

This is what shocked the Hundred Insect Immortal the most.

Logically speaking, this ordinary, strange insect, the Spirit-Eating Bee, should be powerless against its own army ants and should only be tortured to death.

But now?

This situation suggests that these Soul-Devouring Bees are likely special in some way, and in any case, they are definitely not ordinary Soul-Devouring Bees.

"That old dog has some tricks up his sleeve!"

Ji Yuan scoffed, "Take my grandfather's sword!"

After saying that, the Giant Deer Sword Talisman, which was the last one left in Ji Yuan's hand, shattered with a bang.

Then a huge divine sword appeared above his head.

He made a fist with both hands and then chopped down fiercely.

The giant sword, carrying unparalleled power, seemed capable of shattering stars and sinking the moon, as it crashed down from the sky.

When the talisman treasure descended into the world, even a Golden Core cultivator like the Hundred Insect Immortal had to activate his natal magic weapon to resist it.

He activated the magic mirror in his hand, causing it to suspend above his head, as if it had transformed into a protective mirror, emitting bursts of golden light to deflect the Giant Deer Sword.

Now that the talisman had been placed, Ji Yuan didn't bother with it anymore.

He extended his right hand, and immediately a long whip appeared in his hand!

The whip was also fiery red.

Driven by Ji Yuan's ice-type spiritual energy, an icy blue trail of flame was left in the air.

"Snap—"

The magic weapon, the Crimson Wave Whip, struck down heavily with a loud crack.

It actually shattered the golden light protecting the Hundred Herbs Immortal's body.

The latter was alarmed and once again unleashed a golden light from the treasure mirror in his hand, burning the Giant Deer Sword, a magical artifact.

It was clear that he was about to use the power of his natal magic weapon to resist the Crimson Wave Whip.

Ji Yuan silently swallowed a drop of the Millennium Spirit Milk. The spiritual energy he had consumed was instantly restored at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, he waved his right hand again.

A person whose body was only half intact appeared.

Not only did he appear, but he was also carrying a giant net.

As soon as he appeared, he cast out the Heavenly Net in his hand and captured the treasure mirror directly.

"What?!"

"A Core Formation Corpse Puppet!"

When the Hundred Insect Immortal saw this thing, his initial confidence in victory turned into a desire to run away.

After all, he never expected that a cultivator he would encounter by chance on the road would have so many tricks up his sleeve.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they keep emerging one after another.

Ji Yuan ignored him and simply raised the Crimson Wave Whip in his hand, urging it to fire a second time.

"The army ants are trapped and can't help at all. The Dream Butterfly technique is usually very effective, but for some reason, it's ineffective against this person. Even their magical artifacts are locked up by this strange corpse puppet."

With this in mind, only one thought remained in the mind of the Hundred Insect Immortal.

That is... although he had many and powerful methods, he was completely restrained by the cultivator in front of him.

They had it figured out perfectly.

Putting aside the magic weapon and such, if it were to encounter an ordinary early-stage Core Formation cultivator, the Dream Butterfly would only need to flap its wings slightly, and the opponent would obediently surrender.

If that doesn't work, then the fiery army ants will be used again.

Even when facing a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, he remained completely calm, and the opponent might even have to avoid his sharp edge.

After all, besides dealing with the two strange insects, there was also himself, a genuine early-stage Core Formation cultivator.

He was still in the early stages of Core Formation, a Core Formation cultivator who had been immersed in the practice for over a hundred years!

But now?

Everything failed.

Even someone as powerful as the Hundred Insect Immortal had to admit that his methods were completely countered by the opponent.

It's not that he doesn't want to cultivate more exotic insects.

But can you really cultivate these strange insects just because you want to?

The sheer amount of resources it consumed was astonishing, even to a Core Formation stage cultivator like him who had killed countless people in the early stages.

Just like these fiery army ants, they now have to spend tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones every time they eat.

Is this how a human being lives?!

While fending off the magical whip, the Hundred Insect Immortal shouted:

"Fellow Daoist, we have no enmity whatsoever, why force each other to the brink of death!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan glanced at the Heavenly Silkworm Immortal who was using the Heavenly Net to fight against the Treasure Mirror.

The latter's aura fluctuated, making it extremely difficult for it to resist the precious mirror.

In just a short while, the Heavenly Net was burned black all over by the mirror.

As for what the old ghost said, Ji Yuan didn't believe a single word of it.

If I hadn't had enough tricks up my sleeve, I would have been assassinated by him from the very beginning.

To deal with such an old devil, there's only one word... kill!

With this thought in mind, Ji Yuan reached out with his right hand, and a banner shrouded in black mist flew out and was grasped in his hand.

Demonic artifact—the Thousand Soul Banner!

Since its last evolution, the Thousand Soul Banner has evolved from a high-grade spiritual artifact to a top-grade spiritual artifact.

And this was the first time Ji Yuan had used it against an enemy.

After consuming another drop of the Thousand-Year Spirit Milk, Ji Yuan gripped the Thousand Soul Banner with both hands and swung it fiercely. Thousands of Yin Souls flew out from it, overwhelming the sky and rushing towards the Hundred Insect Immortal opposite him.

In fact.

The moment the Hundred Insect Immortal saw the Thousand Soul Banner, he was already thinking of escaping for his life.

"To be able to forge something like the Thousand Soul Banner, what kind of terrifying old demon is this?"

"He's only at the Foundation Establishment stage, yet he's already so ruthless. No wonder he possesses so many methods. With his abilities, he's probably been killing people since the first level of Qi Refining!"

Upon realizing this, the Immortal of a Hundred Insects disregarded everything else and used his mind to recall the army ants.

It doesn't matter if there are more casualties; after using these fiery army ants to hold off these evil spirits, we'll escape first.

As long as the green hills remain, there's no need to worry about not being able to raise these army ants again!

At worst, we can find some other Foundation Establishment cultivators and kill a few more.

Just as Ji Yuan sensed that the Hundred Insect Immortal had begun collecting the Blazing Fire Army Ants, he knew... his opportunity had arrived!

He used the ghostly figures to conceal his form, while simultaneously activating the ghostly flag behind him with his thoughts.

He merged his aura with these ghosts and then swooped down.

His body detached from the flying boat and almost instantly appeared in front of the Hundred Insect Immortal.

The latter looked horrified.

He never expected that the enemy, who was just so far away, would be right in front of him in an instant.

What's even more terrifying is that he hasn't detected the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy!

Ji Yuan saw the horror in the eyes of the Hundred Insect Immortal, and even saw his own fist being extended in his eyes.

It was a fist enveloped in blood energy, appearing as a dark red shape.

If this were seen by an ordinary cultivator, they would naturally think that this was some kind of demonic art.

But for Ji Yuan... it was because his blood energy was too strong that this strange phenomenon manifested outwards!

A punch from a peak-level pure body cultivator in the Tendon Forging Realm was delivered, and at such close range no less.

The Hundred Insect Immortal hurriedly activated a hidden technique within his body.

Just as Ji Yuan's fist was about to land on Bai Chong Lao Xian's face, it was as if an eggshell appeared on his body.

The whole person was wrapped in layers.

Ji Yuan's punch landed precisely on the eggshell, and immediately the Hundred Insect Immortal was knocked down from mid-air.

"boom--"

A muffled sound rang out from the rocky mountain, accompanied by billowing dust and collapsing rocks.

Ji Yuan, suspended in mid-air, watched this scene and thought to himself, "This is bad."

It then swooped down and landed among the rocks.

With the flying sword clearing the way, he could even hear the sound of the Hundred Insect Immortal making his way through the mountain to escape.

"Fellow Daoist, I admit defeat and surrender. Please stop chasing me, okay?"

The voice of the Immortal of a Hundred Insects came from deep underground.

Ji Yuan remained unmoved; the only response he received was the sound of flying swords clearing a path.

"I am, after all, a Core Formation cultivator. Fellow Daoist, are you not afraid that I will perish together with you by pressing this so relentlessly?!"

After Ji Yuan's flying sword broke through the surface rubble, he found a newly dug rat hole in the mountain.

With someone clearing the way ahead, he only needed to follow behind.

That would be much faster.

He flew straight forward, and soon, the Hundred Insect Immortal noticed something was wrong.

"Damn it!"

He cursed angrily and then fled for his life while also trying to block his own escape route.

But no matter how congested it is, Ji Yuan's way of clearing the way is still easier than his.

A few more breaths passed, and then the Hundred Insect Immortal suddenly fell silent.

Ji Yuan reacted quickly and immediately held his breath.

Poison!

That bastard actually poisoned the hole he dug.

Ji Yuan quickly held his breath and took a third-level detoxification pill, along with two improved Qi and Blood pills.

poison?

As long as the body's Qi and blood are strong enough, toxins entering the body can only be transformed into nutrients.

Not to mention there are also specially made antidotes.

Therefore, the dizziness only lasted for a few breaths before returning to normal.

Then he swallowed another drop of the thousand-year-old spiritual milk.

The spiritual energy within Ji Yuan's dantian surged forth, and at the same time, he activated his last magical artifact.

Heavenly Poison Needle!

The moment the poisoned needle appeared, it transformed into a streak of green light and disappeared into the depths of the cave.

Ji Yuan's divine sense was now able to detect the old monster. The reason he was digging the hole so quickly was because he was actually using a rat to dig it!

The rat was as big as a human, with gray-black fur that looked like it was made of iron, claws as sharp as eagle claws, and eyes that were bloodshot.

"Red-eyed Green Iron Rat... This old demon has quite a few good things!"

However, at this moment, the Hundred Insect Immortal was extremely embarrassed, because he was holding the tail of the Crimson-Eyed Green Iron Rat with both hands, letting it drag him along as he fled for his life underground.

And whenever he felt he was running too slowly, he would reach out and transform his hand into a magic needle to poke the rat's rear end.

This makes the rat feel pain, causing it to dig its burrow even faster.

"Old Immortal is supposed to be a Core Formation cultivator, yet he's so shameless when he's running for his life?"

Ji Yuan's voice rang out in the old demon's sea of ​​consciousness.

This immediately startled the old demon.

Because he couldn't detect Ji Yuan's presence within his own spiritual sense range, yet the other party could directly transmit his voice.

What does this tell us?

This means that the other party's spiritual sense is stronger than mine!

Not only that, but a magical artifact resembling a silver needle also attacked.

...Damn it, with so many magical treasures, this is no Foundation Establishment cultivator at all, and he even has this divine sense!

This is clearly a Core Formation cultivator, pretending to be weak while actually being strong!

He made a hand seal, and the eggshell reappeared on his body.

However, the Heavenly Poison Needle bypassed the gap in the cave and stabbed into the chrysanthemum of the Red-Eyed Green Iron Rat.

The rat poison instantly straightened up.

As the venom was injected into the magical artifact.

It still reaches directly into its body.

The mouse then shuddered and instantly froze.

The old immortal who was holding its tail immediately sensed something was wrong. He loosened his grip and stopped moving.

But in the blink of an eye, Ji Yuan's figure had already crossed several miles and appeared in front of him.
