Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 325 Water Dragon Sect...A Plan! [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

"You scoundrel, you actually dare to come here again? I think you're really asking for death!"

When Ji Yuan arrived in his Sky-Splitting Flying Boat, he saw a cloud of blood flying out from the Four Directions Island.

In front of this blood-red cloud, a streak of blue light was fleeing.

After they left, they headed straight north.

Then another sword light emerged from the four islands.

However, the sword light was in a terrible state, as two streaks of light followed behind him, one green and one gray.

Moreover, not long after he escaped, he was struck down by a gray spiritual light and fell into the lake.

As Shi Yan flew ahead of Ji Yuan, he lightly patted the storage bag at his waist with his right hand, and a crimson figure flew out from it.

The Yin Corpse that Ji Yuan had seen in the cave earlier flew out and headed straight for the green light.

The latter stopped, its form appearing as a figure covered in fine green scales.

His eyes were an eerie orange-yellow, and a dragon's tail swung behind him.

Seeing the fake Core Formation Yin Corpse charging towards him, he stuck out his forked, scarlet tongue... This wasn't some poisonous dragon at all, it was clearly a lizard!

This immediately made Ji Yuan, who had originally thought he could pick up a third-tier dragon corpse, lose interest.

On the other side, Su Huaimin, who had just been thrown into the water, flew out again. With his feet on a flying sword, he made a hand seal with one hand, and another sword light flew out from the storage bag at his waist and hovered behind him.

Then, as if a peacock were unfurling, the flying sword multiplied from one into nine, each emitting a faint golden light.

...It was actually the most lethal metal-type flying sword!

Ji Yuan only glanced at it before his gaze fell on the Core Formation demonic cultivator he was fighting.

It was an old woman dressed in bright pink, holding a sewing basket in her left hand and covering her mouth with her right hand, letting out a chilling, eerie laugh.

"Who do we have here? It's that handsome young man from Sword Ruins. Looks like we're in for some fun tonight."

...As expected of a madman of the demonic path.

Ji Yuan muttered a complaint to himself, then piloted the Sky-Splitting Flying Boat in a circle and arrived above the long-lost Four Directions Island.

The once vibrant Four Directions Island is now filled with demonic energy stirred up by this group of demonic cultivators, and the ground looks as if it has been scorched black by those scoundrels from the Demon Flame Palace.

The Demon Cave was set up in the former location of the Weapon Hall.

Ji Yuan scanned the entrance with his divine sense and found it filled with boiling demonic energy.

You can hear the sounds of fighting coming from inside.

And the rampant aura emanating from the cave entrance meant that none of the six pseudo-core cultivators managed to emerge.

Just how many righteous cultivators did the eldest brother release here to hold off all six fake Core Formation Demon Cultivators? Ji Yuan dared not waste any time.

Before he could even stand still, he reached out with his right hand and summoned eight light blue array flags.

"go."

He brought his left index and middle fingers together in a sword-like gesture, and amidst the swirling icy blue spiritual energy, he gave a soft rebuke.

The eight light blue array flags flew out and landed in various places on the Four Directions Island.

In the shortest time it takes to breathe, a light blue shield enveloped the entire Four Directions Island.

With the inverted Jianghu formation activated, Ji Yuan felt a little more at ease.

But just as the formation was set up, a demonic cultivator with long, blood-red hair emerged from the underground demonic prison.

Before he could react, he had already fallen into this upside-down martial arts formation.

"scare--"

The moment he emerged, he found himself plunged into a deep pool.

He subconsciously summoned his magic sword, which flew up and met a deep blue sky.

The Upside-Down Martial Arts Formation, First Level!

With the array protecting him, Ji Yuan had nothing to worry about. Besides, this demonic cultivator at the Pseudo-Core Realm posed no real threat to him.

He, who was originally standing outside the formation, patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist, and then took a step out, arriving inside the Upside-Down Jianghu Formation.

He was originally an old man in a blue robe, but in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a figure clad in dark gold armor.

“Who…who are you?”

The blood-red-haired demonic cultivator stared at the figure that had appeared out of nowhere in front of him, his voice stammering.

It appeared out of thin air, without any aura or spiritual energy fluctuations, yet it could fly...

Core Formation cultivator?

Or is it a Core Formation cultivator whose cultivation level far surpasses mine?

Ji Yuan sensed the wonder of the Soul Devouring Armor, but also felt a little regretful... The Soul Devouring Armor couldn't be used to create weapons, so it was still lacking.

Ji Yuan crossed his arms, moved his wrists, and stretched his body.

A series of crackling sounds suddenly erupted from his entire body.

Upon seeing this, the blood-haired man instinctively took a step back and hurriedly cupped his hands, "Senior... I am a cultivator from Blood Luo Mountain..."

"Oh? You're from Blood Luo Mountain?"

Ji Yuan became interested upon hearing this title.

"Yes, I am Yongzhen, a cultivator from Blood Luo Mountain. May I ask which senior is here?"

Seeing this, Yongzhen naturally assumed that the person in front of him was intimidated by the name of Xueluo Mountain.

Regardless of anything else, Xueluo Mountain is now undoubtedly the number one sect in Canglu.

"Blood Luo Mountain... Blood Luo Mountain deserves to die the most!"

Ji Yuan grinned maliciously and disappeared in a flash.

If it weren't for the strict control over immortal materials at Blood Luo Mountain, he would have already collected enough corpses to upgrade the [Mass Burial Mound] and refine the Yin Corpse Demon Fire.

Why wait until now?

When his figure materialized, he was already beside the blood-haired man.

"scare--"

The latter was startled, and his blood-red hair flew wildly, as if it had transformed into long, scarlet snakes that lunged at Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan paused deliberately for a moment.

When the scarlet serpent came before him, it vanished, replaced by bloody ropes.

So... it's still an illusion?

It's somewhat interesting, but not much.

Ji Yuan watched helplessly as the blood-red ropes bound his limbs, with the remaining blood-red ropes binding his neck.

Yongzhen landed a successful blow, but he was not at all relieved, because he could tell that the strange man in front of him was holding back.

Otherwise, with his unpredictable speed... he wouldn't even have a chance to make a move.

But no matter what, as long as we get it!

Yongzhen formed a hand seal, and a surge of spiritual energy flowed through her blood-red hair.

If this work is successful, then we can extract the magical power from this strange person and turn him into a mortal. But... but how come this person has no magical power!

Ji Yuan sensed the strange spiritual energy emanating from the rope woven from the hair, but so what?

When the spiritual energy arrived, it was completely absorbed by the Soul-Devouring Armor on his body.

...So, after putting on this Soul-Devouring Armor...

Basically, it makes you immune to spells of the same rank?

As long as their cultivation level is not far superior to mine and they cannot break the Soul-Devouring Armor in one blow, then they can basically be invincible!

However, this would expose the fact that he is a body cultivator. Most people who have reached the Core Formation stage have some knowledge and can guess that he is a body cultivator when they see the current situation.

Therefore, it's not a safe bet. It means that if you expose your Soul-Devouring Armor, you have to take down the opponent.

Hmm... dealing with the Dharma cultivator shouldn't be a problem.

As long as you don't face body cultivators of the same level, it's fine.

With this thought in mind, Ji Yuan looked at the panicked blood-haired cultivator opposite him and let out a hoarse sound.

"Your methods... seem a bit lacking."

After saying that, he grabbed the bloody hair with both hands.

The latter panicked and instinctively thought of cutting off his tail to save his life, but it was too late.

The moment Ji Yuan grabbed his hair with both hands, he exerted force, using both hands and feet to push hard, and his head also tilted back.

In an instant.

The demonic cultivator, whose head was just covered in blood... suddenly became bald, but blood quickly seeped out again. Not only that, Ji Yuan also discovered that the hair seemed to be connected to the demonic cultivator's internal organs?

Because the pulled-out hair was still connected to the demonic cultivator's body.

The immense pain he experienced nearly caused the demonic cultivator to faint.

After all, even he, who cultivated this technique, never expected that someone would have such immense strength to tear all his hair off in one go.

"Your technique... is quite interesting!"

Beneath the dark gold armor, a strange laugh, unlike that of an ordinary person, rang out.

Then, the man suddenly pulled hard, and an even greater force came.

The demonic cultivator, utterly powerless to resist, was dragged close by this immense force.

Ji Yuan casually grabbed his neck, the empty eyes of the Soul-Devouring Armor staring at him.

Bald Yongzhen dared not struggle, and could only forcefully say with all his might, "Spare...spare my life, sen...senior."

"The Pseudo-Core Formation realm is a bit too high."

Ji Yuan's hoarse voice rang out, "Shatter that useless fake core of yours. A Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator is still more useful."

The upgrade requirements for the [Mass Burial Mound] are clearly stated: only 10 corpses of peak Foundation Establishment cultivators are needed, but it doesn't mention any fake pills.

When dealing with people and matters, it's best to follow the rules.

The demonic cultivator seemed unwilling, showing some hesitation and inner conflict.

Ji Yuan didn't say anything, but silently increased the pressure in his hand. The latter quickly responded, "Okay, okay."

The fake core was already fragile, and at this moment, Yongzhen mobilized the magic power in his dantian and violently struck it.

A soft "crack" sounded, and his weak, fake core shattered.

Blood flowed from all seven orifices in an instant.

"It worked! It worked this time!"

Ji Yuanlian nodded.

A hint of joy appeared in Yongzhen's eyes. He endured the excruciating pain in his internal organs, thinking that he was finally going to come back to life.

But just then, he realized that the hand gripping his neck... had tightened its grip.

He heard an even louder "snap" sound, and then nothing more.

Ji Yuan looked at the bloody hair in his hand, then at the bald demonic cultivator. The magical power connected to the hair and internal organs dissipated due to the death of the host.

He glanced at it a few times, then casually tossed it into his storage bag.

With a flick of the Thousand Soul Banner, as the vengeful spirits were drawn away, Ji Yuan landed on the calm lake surface.

The Upside-Down Jianghu Formation should be unbreakable by these fake Core Formation cultivators.

I've already killed one person, so why hasn't another one run out yet?

He looked down at the deep abyss, his gaze passing through the formation to the entrance to the Demon Prison outside. In just a short while, he sensed two auras escaping from inside.

Then he crashed headfirst into his formation.

Watching the two people who suddenly appeared on the lake surface and then sank in an instant.

Ji Yuan understood as well.

right way.

These two were actually righteous cultivators who had been imprisoned. Their bodies were covered in old wounds from torture, and their auras were extremely weak.

"I don't recognize any of them, but judging from their aura, they should be from the Corpse-Driving Mountain and the Joyful Palace."

One male and one female.

The man was in relatively good condition; he just had more injuries on his body.

But these female cultivators... especially those from the Joyful Palace, Ji Yuan can only say that they have truly shown great perseverance to survive.

He sighed inwardly and brought the two people out of the lake. The shore transformed, and a small piece of land appeared.

He placed the two people on the platform and then covered the female cultivator with a garment to conceal her body.

The injuries on his body had been mostly healed by Ran Kui's Qi and Blood Pills, and the reason he was unconscious now was entirely due to the exhaustion and pain of his soul.

...It's unknown what kind of torture they endured in this hellish prison.

With this thought in mind, Ji Yuan stopped waiting for the rabbit to come to him and instead passed through the magic array, falling directly into the Demon Prison.

Since we can't wait, let's kill.

Killing all the demonic cultivators in this demonic prison would at least be considered eliminating a scourge for the people.

"..."

Ji Yuan stormed into the Demon Prison.

But Yu, Ran Kui, and the other two could only get beaten up.

One mid-stage Core Formation cultivator and two early-stage Core Formation cultivators.

Regardless of who their opponent is, they are all a small step above them.

Oh no.

Su Huaimin and Shi Yan's opponents were a whole level higher than them.

It progressed from a false elixir to a golden elixir.

"Brother Su, I may really be going to die here today."

A weak voice transmission from Shi Yan echoed in Su Huaimin's mind.

A quick glance out of the corner of his eye revealed that Shi Yan, in the far distance... was being completely overwhelmed.

If it weren't for the mangled corpse blocking several fatal attacks, he would probably be dead already.

The Venerable Poison Dragon was surrounded by green poisonous mist, and his fingernails were extremely long, like ten sharp scythes.

The corpse's body had been torn to pieces by him.

Although Shi Yan was in better condition, the potent toxins from the Poisonous Dragon Venerable's attack left him with a livid face, pale lips, and even a slight swaying.

The fake Core Formation cultivator, Shi Yan, was no match for the Core Formation cultivator on the other side.

And Su Huaimin was no exception.

Granny Xuansha's natal magic weapon was actually the needle and thread basket she held in her hand, from which she could shoot out soul-capturing embroidery needles that specifically broke through the protective qi of the body.

Even if Su Huaimin's swordsmanship was superb, it would be extremely difficult for him to dodge this elusive embroidery needle.

Each time he was stabbed, he felt an excruciating pain, as if his ten fingers were being pierced through his heart.

"My little darling, seeing you in so much pain, it really breaks my heart."

Granny Xuansha let out a captivating, seductive laugh.

"Don't let her age fool you, she's actually very caring."

Su Huaimin suppressed his discomfort.

Holding the sword in his right hand and making a sword-finger gesture with his left, he lightly stroked the blade with his fingers, as if sharpening it.

He immediately raised the longsword in his hand, and a giant golden sword suddenly appeared in the sky.

Radiant with light.

Higher up in the sky, a blood-red cloud covered the area, within which a streak of azure light could be seen weaving back and forth.

The battle between the Water Dragon Sect members may seem intense at this moment, but the real Golden Core duel is taking place here!

Protected by golden light, Ran Kui once again dispersed a blood shadow rushing towards him, stood still, and looked towards the unknown ahead, his face slightly pale.

It is indeed quite difficult for someone in the early stage of Core Formation to fight against someone in the middle stage.

He could only barely contend with it by relying on the magical treasures he had accumulated over the years.

"Among the six sects of Shangdong, there are very few who are as strong as you in the early stage of Core Formation."

The Blood Nightmare Old Monster's sinister voice echoed from within the blood mist.

He then looked down at the direction of the Four-Sided Island on the ground.

"They've come on strong, it seems we can't delay any longer. In that case, let me show you the Blood Nightmare Technique that I've cultivated for hundreds of years!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ran Kui felt that the blood mist from all directions was frantically converging towards one place.

He knew something was wrong and quickly used his escape technique to flee the place.

Just as he left, the surrounding blood mist suddenly exploded, and then at the very core of the blood mist...

Then a huge, blood-red demonic shadow appeared.

It was nearly ten zhang tall, its entire body was blood red, it had bull horns on its head, and its entire head was composed of a ferocious skull.

The powerful demonic energy emanating from it even instilled a sense of fear in Ran Kui.

"This is... the Blood Demon Shadow?!"

With a thought, Ran Kui reached out his right hand, and his natal magic weapon, the "Sea-Severing Halberd," appeared in his hand, which gave him a sense of security.

the other side.

While still being beaten, Shi Yan subconsciously looked towards the direction of the Four Directions Island again.

Ever since he felt he was about to die, he remembered what Ran Kui had said earlier.

...If you are outmatched, you may seek help from fellow Daoist Changshou.

But what about that friend who practices longevity?

He disappeared after a light blue array of light appeared on the island.

It hasn't appeared yet.

Could he be dead too?

Shi Yan subconsciously guessed.

Just then, he suddenly noticed a blue ripple appearing outside the Four Directions Island. Immediately afterward, two figures dressed in tattered clothes and covered in blood emerged from behind the ripple. They helped each other up and fell onto the Four Directions Island as soon as they came out. But they quickly realized what was happening, took out a magical artifact-level flying boat from somewhere, jumped into it, and left the island.

Those are... people who came out of the Demon Prison!

They succeeded?!

As soon as Shi Yan lost his focus, he was caught off guard again by the Poisonous Flood Dragon Venerable, who slapped him hard in the chest and knocked him into the lake.

"Heh heh heh, you dare to get distracted while fighting me?"

"That's practically suicide!"

Venerable Poison Dragon let out a strange laugh, and his figure plunged into the lake, stirring up a spray of water everywhere.

But soon, Shi Yan's figure rose from another place, still near the direction of Sifang Island. He had no doubt that if he continued fighting, he would definitely die here!

Therefore, he urgently needed someone to help him resist, while he himself had to focus on suppressing the toxins in his body.

In just a short while, he saw two people supporting each other as they walked out of the formation, one of whom was an old acquaintance of his.

Ye Chen!

He actually got rescued!

So what about Li Changshou?

Why haven't I seen him come out yet?

In his haste, Shi Yan didn't care about anything else. At least for now, Ye Chen's injuries didn't seem as serious as his own, so he quickly shouted something.

"Ye Chen!"

At this moment, Ye Chen had already helped the Water Dragon Sect's Bamboo Shadow Island Master escape far away, and even if he heard these words, he would have no way to return to help.

Seeing that the Poisonous Flood Dragon Venerable had already attacked them again.

Only four words came to mind when he thought of the slaying fire.

"My life is over!"

He even subconsciously closed his eyes, but after a breath, the expected attack did not land on him.

He then realized what was happening and opened his eyes.

Suddenly, a young man in a blue robe appeared before him, his back to him, blocking what was supposed to be a fatal blow.

He didn't turn around, but chuckled softly and said, half-jokingly:

"Calling Ye Chen won't help if you encounter danger; you'll have to call me, Li Changshou of the Water Dragon Sect."
