Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 378 The Rules of the Rakshasa Sea [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

"This information was leaked to us, the Eight Holy Lands, by the Black and White Temple."

The Bone Nightmare Demon pondered and said, "This is only known to the core cultivators of our Eight Holy Lands, which is why I only told the three of you."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan and the other two pricked up their ears and even subconsciously moved closer.

Even the seemingly oldest Yin Gu Shangren was no exception.

"Everyone who enters the Rakshasa Sea gets a chance to choose a faction... In fact, only those who possess this ring and token can choose. Those without these two items are all considered rogue cultivators."

"Those who possess these two items can choose their own allegiance, whether to join the Yin Ghost Sect or choose to become a rogue cultivator."

"So what's the difference between these two identities?"

Yin Gu Shangren couldn't help but ask.

"Good question."

The Bone Nightmare Demon responded and then continued to explain, "If you choose to join the Yin Ghost Sect and become a disciple, you will be safe... relatively safe, because many places in the Rakshasa Sea will not attack Yin Ghost Sect disciples, but will attack rogue cultivators. And if you encounter any life-or-death crisis, such as being surrounded and attacked by rogue cultivators, then a Yin Ghost Sect disciple can mobilize a trace of array power to fight back."

"So, does that mean we have to choose the Yin Ghost Sect? Becoming a rogue cultivator only means getting beaten up."

"I'm puzzled," Ma Gui said.

"If that were the case, your master would have sent you to collect the Yin Ghost Sect rings and tokens long ago."

The Fire Spirit Demon Mother, sitting to the side, sneered.

Ma Gui gave an awkward laugh and lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Becoming a disciple of the Yin Ghost Sect is not all good things." Old Demon Bone Nightmare shook his head. "Firstly, if a rogue cultivator is strong enough, you can fight your way from the outer domain to the inner domain, and even to the core area. But if you choose to join the Yin Ghost Sect... where you want to go depends on the token in your hand. If you only have one token, even if you have the strength of the Nascent Soul stage, you can only wander around in the outer domain."

"Secondly, the rewards for disciples of the Yin Ghost Sect are very few. If they want to get really good stuff, they have to choose to become a rogue cultivator."

"Thirdly, the Black and White Temple has already sent out a message to our eight holy lands that everyone who entered the Black and White Temple this time will choose to join the Yin Ghost Sect. Therefore, he suggested that we all choose to become rogue cultivators."

When the Bone Nightmare Demon spoke these words, his eyes narrowed slightly, filled with malice.

"Oh? The Black and White Temple wants to fight us Eight Holy Lands first? And they've chosen this Rakshasa Sea as the battlefield."

Ma Gui had the most information, so he was the first to realize the intentions of the Black and White Temple.

The Bone Nightmare Demon nodded slightly upon hearing this, clearly sharing the same view on the matter.

"Then our Eight Holy Lands can indeed test the strength of the Black and White Temple this time," said Yin Gu Shangren slowly.

"Is there anything you want to ask?"

The Bone Nightmare Demon suddenly turned to look at Ji Yuan, who had been frowning.

The others also looked over. Ji Yuan hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands in greeting. At the signal from the Bone Nightmare Old Demon, he sat down again before asking, "Since the Rakshasa Sea is the sacred ground of the Yin Ghost Sect, why is it that becoming a rogue cultivator is the only way to obtain more good things?"

"Shouldn't the best things be given to our own disciples first?"

Ji Yuan voiced the question that had been troubling him.

"I'm curious about that too."

Master Yin Gu added.

"I've considered this issue as well, and I've also inquired with other holy lands." The Bone Nightmare Demon frowned, then explained in a somewhat uncertain tone:

"The Black and White Temples didn't give an answer, and I suspect they don't have a definite answer either, but based on the opinions of our holy sites, this might be the reason..."

The Bone Nightmare Demon pointed to the circle in front of him and said in a deep voice:

"Back when the Yin Ghost Sect unified the world, there was actually not much difference between the sect's disciples and independent cultivators."

"Moreover, this Rakshasa Sea should be the place they use to train rogue cultivators and disciples within the sect... There are other places, but this Rakshasa Sea is their advancement channel for rogue cultivators, and at the same time, it is also to put some pressure on the disciples of the Yin Ghost Sect so that they have opponents."

...That makes some sense.

Ji Yuan thought this way because there was no other explanation that made sense.

"So, according to Master, we should all choose to become independent cultivators?" Ma Gui said.

"Um."

As he spoke, the Bone Nightmare Demon rose with his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in the courtyard, saying, "Since the Black and White Temple has set up this game, if we do not accept the challenge, it would make us appear cowardly."

"Besides, even if we choose the Yin Ghost Sect, we won't get anything good, and it's safe..."

The Bone Nightmare Demon sneered, "If you want to be safe, then don't go to this Rakshasa Sea. If that doesn't work, just become a mortal. Mortals only live for a few decades, so they're quite safe."

"That's true, hehehehe."

Ma Gui laughed.

Master Yin Gu chuckled and said, "I was hoping to take this opportunity to see if I could achieve Nascent Soul stage in one fell swoop."

Everyone laughed, and Ji Yuan felt that if he didn't laugh, he would seem a bit out of place, so he joined in and laughed along.

As soon as he laughed, the others couldn't help but turn to look at him.

Yin Gu Shangren couldn't help but say, "Senior Hu's laughter... is rather eerie."

"That kid's cunning."

The Bone Nightmare Old Demon chuckled and cursed before continuing, "I suspect that those who chose the Yin Ghost Sect will block us rogue cultivators in both the inner and outer realms. It's like they're the defenders and we're the attackers. We'll find out the specifics once we're inside."

"Remember, we all choose to become independent practitioners."

"yes!"

Ji Yuan and the other two clasped their hands in a fist and bow.

"Hmm." The Bone Nightmare Old Demon nodded and said, "This is information about the other eight holy lands and some top rogue cultivators. Take it back and take a good look, especially those few Core Formation peak cultivators from the Black and White Divine Palace, as well as the core successors of the eight holy lands."

After the Bone Nightmare Demon finished speaking, three jade slips flew out, and Ji Yuan also had one more in his hand.

Just as he was about to use his divine sense to investigate, he heard the Bone Nightmare Demon say, "Alright, you two can leave now. Hu Beizhi, stay."

"Go back and prepare well. We should be able to set off in a few months."

"Yes."

After bowing to Yin Gu Shangren, Ma Gui left.

Especially Ma Gui, before leaving, he glanced at Ji Yuan, and the smile on his face had a rather meaningful feel to it.

After the two of them left, the Bone Nightmare Demon looked at Ji Yuan and laughed, "You're quite lucky, kid. If you had broken through a few months later, I would have had to go in and drag you out."

"Hehe, thanks to the sect leader."

Ji Yuan smiled.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. Once you're inside, you only have one goal: find a way to get a Rejuvenation Fruit. There are definitely some inside. Whether you exchange it after you clear the levels or kill someone to steal it is up to you."

As the Bone Nightmare Demon spoke, he suddenly leaned forward, lowered his voice, and said in a sinister tone:

"As long as you obtain this Rejuvenation Fruit, I will return that wisp of your soul to you."

...Hehe, I'm afraid that as soon as I get my hands on this thing, you'll immediately refine me!

But don't worry, once we enter the Rakshasa Sea, you'll receive news of my death... Ji Yuan thought to himself, but outwardly maintained a serious expression as he said:

"Sect Leader, what are you saying? Since Master and Sect Leader need it, this disciple will risk his life to obtain this Rejuvenation Fruit!"

"It's enough that you have the intention."

The Bone Nightmare Demon chuckled, patted Ji Yuan on the shoulder, and sat back down.

Ji Yuan looked at the two of them, his expression slightly troubled as if he had thought of something. Finally, he struggled to speak and said, "Master, Sect Leader, the Rakshasa Sea is full of dangers. I estimate that we will not only have to be wary of the dangers of the secret realm, but also of the Black and White Temple disciples who have joined the Yin Ghost Sect, and even the rogue cultivators like us... We must also be careful."

"I am currently at the mid-stage of Core Formation. At that time, there will definitely be many late-stage Core Formation or even peak Core Formation cultivators in this secret realm. With my current cultivation level, I am truly afraid that I will be willing but unable to do so."

"You just want some protective magic items, no problem."

The Bone Nightmare Demon saw right through Ji Yuan's thoughts.

"this……"

Ji Yuan feigned an awkward smile.

Since they're already planning to abscond, they'll naturally try to get as many benefits as possible to avoid wasting resources.

"Take this precious item; use it in a critical moment, and it will surely save your life."

As he spoke, the Bone Nightmare Demon threw out a talisman.

Ji Yuan quickly caught it with both hands. The talisman was as black as ink, as if it had been fished out of an inkwell. On the surface of the talisman, a wolf hair brush was outlined with gold powder!

So this is the Bone Nightmare Demon's natal magic weapon, which is actually a pen?

"Yes, disciple thanks the sect leader for bestowing this treasure."

This was the first time Ji Yuan had obtained such a legendary treasure, and he was naturally delighted. However, upon reflection, he realized that he had risked his life to obtain it, so there was nothing to be overjoyed about.

"Alright, go ahead. Don't go out during this time. Just follow my orders."

The Bone Nightmare Demon waved his hand.

"Yes, disciple takes his leave."

Ji Yuan bowed to the left and right, then put away the treasure, rode away in his escape light, and returned directly to Dameng Island.

With all the outsiders gone, the Bone Nightmare Demon King finally sat back down next to the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother.

"My husband."

Fire Spirit Demon Mother couldn't help but reach out and grasp the hands of Bone Nightmare Old Demon, her voice filled with worry and her eyes filled with fear.

"Don't be afraid, my wife, I'm here for you." The Bone Nightmare Demon gently patted the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother's hand and soothed her softly.

Seeing that the Fire Spirit Demon Mother was about to speak again, the Bone Nightmare Demon spoke once more:

"As I said before, the Black and White Duo who are going into the Rakshasa Sea this time are definitely after the secret of the Nascent Soul stage. No one can compete with them for that, and no one can beat them."

"We only need some materials suitable for breaking through, which is something that only those mid-Nascent Soul cultivators will fight over. Among mid-Nascent Soul cultivators, you and I, husband and wife, together have nothing to fear."

Upon hearing these words, the Fire Spirit Demon Mother gradually calmed down.

"What about Hu Beizhi's side...?"

"Don't worry about him. He knows how to choose between his life and the Rejuvenation Fruit. Besides, with his current strength, plus the Yin Corpse Demon Fire and the true treasure I gave him, there shouldn't be many stronger than him in the late Core Formation stage."

The Bone Nightmare Demon revealed a confident smile.

"At that time, Hu Beizhi will take the Rejuvenation Fruit, Ma Gui will be the backup plan to snatch the Everlasting Fruit that can extend life by twenty years, and we will go for the opportunity to break through. We will take all three approaches at once... Even if something goes wrong at any step, it won't matter too much."

Perhaps the Fire Spirit Demon Mother was also infected by the Bone Nightmare Old Demon's confident smile, and felt much more at ease.

"Yan'er, thank goodness you're here."

Fire Spirit Demon Mother couldn't help but reach out and touch the Bone Nightmare Old Demon's pretty face, saying emotionally.

"I'm so glad I have you."

The old demon of bone nightmares had a gentle look in his eyes.

"..."

"I must join the Yin Ghost Sect; I absolutely cannot remain a rogue cultivator!"

This was the first decision Ji Yuan made after returning to Dameng Island, after thinking about it all the way.

The reason is simple: others have no choice, but he does.

Two rings and three tokens mean that there is no place in the entire Rakshasa Sea that Ji Yuan cannot go, not even this core area... Even a peak Core Formation cultivator might not be able to break into it, but he can.

Secondly, it's safe.

Although the Old Demon of Bone Nightmare boasted wildly, Ji Yuan still believed that becoming a disciple of the Yin Ghost Sect was the best course of action.

to be honest.

That secret realm has an owner, and the ghost messengers who are suspected to be the spirit of the formation are still alive. At that time, the disciples of the Yin Ghost Sect will be one of our own, not to mention that I am a disciple of the Yin Ghost Sect who has been certified by it.

In a sense, these Yin Gui Sect disciples could be considered the hosts.

And those rogue cultivators... were the intruders!

Ji Yuan naturally recalled his experience in the small secret realm last time. At that time, the ghost messenger hated the people of the Black and White Temple. But this time, all the disciples of the Black and White Temple chose to become disciples of the Yin Ghost Sect.

So how should it be treated?

Ji Yuan didn't know, but he had made up his mind that once he entered the Rakshasa Sea, he would resolutely choose to become a disciple of the Yin Ghost Sect.

We should just follow the ghost messenger's lead.

As for the Rejuvenation Fruit that the Bone Nightmare Demon needs, Ji Yuan doesn't need it. If he really had the chance, he would rather exchange it for some materials suitable for Core Formation stage breakthroughs, as well as materials for building upgrades.

Just like the Yin-Yang Soil and Yao Soil Sand that Ji Yuan encountered in the secret realm last time, these things are hard to find outside, but in this Rakshasa Sea... they should be much easier to find.

Having made up his mind, Ji Yuan took out the jade slip given to him by the Bone Nightmare Demon, invaded it with his divine sense, and began to carefully examine the information inside.

The records here are mostly of cultivators in the late stage of Core Formation and the peak of Core Formation, from the Eight Sacred Lands, the Black and White Temple, and some well-known rogue cultivators. They are all recorded in detail.

For a moment, Ji Yuan couldn't help but marvel at the power of the Bone Nightmare Sect's information network.

"On average, each of the eight holy lands has two to three late-stage Core Formation cultivators and peak Core Formation cultivators. Just in this respect... the Extreme Abyss Continent is much stronger than the Azure Fall Continent."

"Not to mention the Black and White Temple, which alone has 20 peak Core Formation cultivators... However, Old Demon Bone Nightmare also said that the Black and White Temple cannot go all in, so this time they can only get about ten peak Core Formation cultivators in. The remaining late Core Formation cultivators, however, have managed to get quite a few in."

In addition, the Bone Nightmare Old Demon also dispatched the three strongest Core Formation cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage.

Just how strong is it?

Those were all beings capable of exchanging a few blows with early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and some had even escaped from their clutches.

Ji Yuan looked at the list... and what he didn't expect was...

The person ranked first by the Bone Nightmare Old Demon was actually a rogue cultivator named Xun Tianji, who was also a third-tier array master. According to the information given by the Bone Nightmare Old Demon, this person's peak achievement was escaping from the hands of a Nascent Soul early stage cultivator.

And that early Nascent Soul cultivator was, by sheer coincidence, the Soul Devouring Venerable who had dealt with Ji Yuan before.

It can be considered a kind of fate.

The other two are disciples of the sect: Xiao Xuan from the Black and White Temple and Wu Busheng from Tian Sha Mountain.

Ji Yuan carefully noted down the information about these three people.

Before leaving, he thought he should check the information on Nascent Soul cultivators, but there was nothing on the list.

It seems that the Bone Nightmare Demon never intended for the three of them to go to the core area.

...But this is enough. I don't even know where to get such detailed information.

After Ji Yuan finished reading, he began to prepare the things he needed to bring for this trip.

The building itself is no longer a problem.

Those main buildings have now been incorporated into Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, and the remaining ones that haven't been incorporated can be activated by attaching a plaque.

We have to be careful; if we activate the building effects in the Rakshasa Sea, will the ghost messengers notice?

The same applies to entering Lingtai Fangcun Mountain; it should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

Otherwise, if it targets you, it could be troublesome.

In addition, there are these many spirit pets.

The Queen Bee, Queen Ant, Frost Dragon, and even the Dream Butterfly, a powerful tool for breaking illusions, cannot be overlooked.

As for a natal magic weapon, the Canglan Sword is more than enough.

It could even be said that Ji Yuan is currently unable to control so many flying swords.

After much deliberation, Ji Yuan had only one feeling.

Everything is ready, except for the east wind!

He was waiting, and so was Ma Gui.

After meeting with the Bone Nightmare Demon, he handed over all the affairs of the sect, big and small, and focused on preparing for the upcoming trip to the Rakshasa Sea.

at the same time.

On Yin Bone Island, where Yin Bone Master resided, amidst a swirling aura of yin energy, he gazed thoughtfully at a skull ring and a skull token in his hand.

"..."

Two months later.

Ji Yuan was studying the "Sword Canon" in the [Scripture Pavilion] to improve his cultivation, but at that moment, a communication talisman in his storage bag suddenly began to vibrate wildly.

News of the Bone Nightmare Demon has arrived!

Ji Yuan took it out, injected his magic power into it, and the old demon's voice immediately rang in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Nightmare Island, come quickly!"

Just five simple words.

...So, is the Rakshasa Sea finally about to open?

Ji Yuan immediately shut down the building effects and the Inverted Big Dipper Formation used to protect the island, leaving only a second-tier formation to provide some cover.

As for the Reversed Jianghu Formation given by Yun Qianzai, he had already put it away.

His figure moved straight south.

On the way, they encountered a Yin Gu master who had come from the west. The two looked at each other and nodded, which was considered their greeting.

When Ji Yuan and his companion arrived at the main hall, Ma Gui was already there.

The Bone Nightmare Demon and the Fire Spirit Demon Mother are also here.

"Is everything ready?"

The Bone Nightmare Demon's gaze swept over them, and he asked in a deep voice.

Ji Yuan and the other two nodded quickly.

"Set off!"

With a simple command, a dazzling stream of light rose from the Bone Nightmare Sect and flew straight towards the southwest.

"This time, the Black and White Temples sent messages to all eight of our holy lands at the same time. Our Bone Nightmare Sect is the closest, so apart from those rogue cultivators, we will definitely be the first to arrive. At that time, we can barely be considered to have seized the initiative."

During the journey south, Ma Gui introduced the two to Ji Yuan.

"If the Black and White Temples could have predicted the opening time of the Rakshasa Sea, wouldn't they have simply gone in beforehand? Why did they need to notify the Eight Holy Lands?"

Ji Yuan asked questions when he didn't understand.

Ma Gui smiled knowingly. "Junior Brother Hu doesn't understand this. Our Eight Holy Lands and the Black and White Temple are closely connected. The Black and White Temple wouldn't dare not inform us of such an important matter. If they didn't tell us, it would be difficult for them to explain to our Eight Holy Lands."

"Hu Beizhi is right."

The old demon of bone nightmares suddenly spoke, directly shattering Ma Gui's illusion.

"Your master's wife and I have both considered this. If the Black and White Temple knows the opening time, they can just go in in advance. There is no need to notify us. This matter is probably a bit strange. After we arrive at the Northwest Sand Prison, listen to my orders and do not act rashly."

"Yes."

Ma Gui nodded hastily.

Ji Yuan responded to Yin Gu Zhenren.

After this incident, Ma Gui dared not speak again. It wasn't until the group crossed the Endless Sea and successfully arrived at the Northwest Sand Prison that the Bone Nightmare Old Demon led them south.

Another ten days passed.

The Bone Nightmare Demon stopped in the air above a desert. Ji Yuan noticed something was wrong from afar. Looking down, he saw a huge pit, hundreds of feet in diameter, in the center of the desert.

He squinted and looked, and even with his late-stage Forging Muscle Realm physique, he couldn't see the bottom of the deep pit.

In this deep pit, eight high platforms, each hundreds of feet tall, have been built around it, and bonfires are burning brightly around them, illuminating the night as if it were daytime.

The Bone Nightmare Demon led several people and landed straight on the high platform to the due north.

He took the lead, with the graceful Fire Spirit Ghost Mother standing beside him, and the Hemp Ghost and Yin Bone Master standing behind him.

Ji Yuan habitually shielded everyone in front of him.

Perhaps sensing the aura of the Bone Nightmare Demon, a streak of earthy yellow light rose from the bottom of the deep pit, flashed by, and finally stopped outside the high platform to the due north, transforming into the figure of a sturdy old man with white hair and beard.

"Brother Bone Nightmare arrived quickly."

The old man first greeted the Bone Nightmare Demon, then bowed to the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother, and as for the three hemp ghosts behind him, he seemed not to see them at all.

"After all, it's closer."

The old demon of bone nightmares, dressed in a green robe, said with a chuckle.

Ma Gui then took the opportunity to telepathically introduce Yin Gu Shangren, saying, "This is the Rock True Lord of the Black and White Temple, at the initial stage of Nascent Soul."

As the two were talking, they saw another streak of light flash by from the south, finally landing on the high platform to the east.

Pan Shi Zhenjun turned around and smiled, "Brother Tian Sha is here. I'll go over and say hello first."

"Brother Pan Shi, please go ahead with your business." Old Demon Bone Nightmare still had that same smiling look on his face.

Ji Yuan squinted and looked in the direction that True Monarch Pan Shi had flown.

Above the Sea of ​​Knowledge, Ma Gui continued his introduction.

A total of six people came from Tian Sha Mountain: Tian Sha Old Demon, who was in the mid-Nascent Soul stage and was also the sect leader of Tian Sha Mountain; and an old grave-digging ghost, who was in the early-Nascent Soul stage.

The Heavenly Fiend Demon looks to be in his prime, but the Grave Digger looks like he only has a few years left to live. I guess he's like the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother, both of them are going in to seek a breakthrough opportunity.

The remaining four are all Core Formation cultivators, two at the peak of Core Formation and two at the late stage of Core Formation.

Ji Yuan had seen information about these people in the jade slip given to him by the Bone Nightmare Old Demon. Ji Yuan felt that the two late-stage Core Formation cultivators posed no threat to him.

Those two were at the peak of the Core Formation stage... a female cultivator named Yan Zhirou, and a man named Fang Zhong. Ji Yuan always felt that his name was missing a character.

Judging from the information given by the Bone Nightmare Old Demon, these two are extremely difficult to deal with, especially Yan Zhirou, who is said to be able to exchange a few blows with a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Ji Yuan was sizing them up, and they were also sizing up the Bone Nightmare Sect group.

However, they were mainly observing Ma Gui and Yin Gu Shangren.

Occasionally, a glance would fall on Ji Yuan, but it would be quickly swept over without lingering.

This feeling made Ji Yuan feel extremely safe.

Bone Nightmare Sect and Heavenly Fiend Mountain are the closest holy lands to the Northwest Sand Prison. After these two sects arrived, they waited a full day before the next holy land arrived.

It is also a holy land of demonic cultivation, and an old neighbor of the Bone Nightmare Sect—the Soul Refining Hall.

There weren't many people who came; there were only three in total.

The Soul Refining Hall's Soul Hall Master, plus a peak Core Formation cultivator and a late Core Formation cultivator.

The person at the peak of Core Formation was Mo Tusheng, who, like Ji Yuan, possessed the Yin Corpse Demon Flame. A late-stage Core Formation cultivator... not worth mentioning.

However, just as the Soul Palace Master arrived, before True Monarch Rock could even exchange a few words with him, a streak of light flew in from the southeast and landed outside the eight enormous stone pillars. Its form materialized, revealing that there was only one person there.

The newcomer was a man dressed in a blue robe, just like the Bone Nightmare Demon, but he looked much older.

"Qingchengzi, a rogue cultivator, is a Nascent Soul cultivator nearing the end of his lifespan."

The voice of the demon rang out again in the sky above Ji Yuan Shi Hai.

Qingchengzi... My thigh is here!

Ji Yuan remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he instantly became alert.

After Qingchengzi arrived, he looked around and, finding no remaining high platforms, went to the Soul Palace Master's side and spoke a few words as if through telepathy.

The Soul Palace Master quickly moved aside, making room for Qingchengzi.

Then, this Nascent Soul cultivator bowed to the Bone Nightmare Old Demon and the Heavenly Fiend Old Demon from afar, treating them as equals.

His choice of location is also quite interesting.

Because only one Nascent Soul cultivator came to the Soul Refining Hall.

On the third day, another rogue cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm arrived, named Ying Changkong.

According to the all-knowing Ma Gui, this Eagle Chang Kong has a fourth-tier eagle spirit pet, which makes it very strong in both escape speed and combat power.

The person hasn't reached the end of their lifespan yet, so their visit here is mostly to seek an opportunity for a breakthrough.

The three righteous sects, Tiangong Valley, Xuanqing Sect, and Tingtao Pavilion, arrived almost simultaneously.

Ma Gui explained that since they were far from the Northwest, they mostly used the teleportation array inside the gate to teleport directly to Black and White City.

They then traveled through Winterfell to reach this northwestern sand dune.

Tiangong Valley also only sent one Nascent Soul cultivator, who was not the sect leader, but an old man in the early Nascent Soul stage, known as "True Lord of a Hundred Hammers".

Judging from his name, Ji Yuan is skilled in weapon crafting and is most likely a fourth-tier weapon crafter.

Two Nascent Soul cultivators arrived at Tingtao Pavilion: the Pavilion Master, who was in the mid-Nascent Soul stage, and Baihua Sanren, who was in the early-Nascent Soul stage.

Among them, the Hundred Flowers Hermit was a woman who looked very young and had a very good figure. No matter how you looked at her, she did not look like someone who was about to die.

The Xuanqing Sect is the leader of the righteous path on the Extreme Abyss Continent. It is said that there are also ancestors in the late Nascent Soul stage in the sect. However, the ones who came this time were still a Xuanqing True Monarch in the mid Nascent Soul stage and a Xuanhuangzi in the early Nascent Soul stage.

When they arrived again, the scene became much more lively.

After all, many Nascent Soul cultivators don't see each other often, and some haven't seen each other for decades. This rare reunion naturally calls for them to greet each other.

The other Core Formation cultivators are similar; even if they have no friends, they are never short of enemies.

Ji Yuan could feel that Mo Tusheng's gaze would fall on him from time to time.

Both of them possessed the Yin Corpse Demon Fire, and since they both came from the demonic path, they naturally didn't get along.

A few more days passed, and the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Xuan Snake Mansion arrived.

Only one person came, and that was the Xuan Snake Palace Master, who was in the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

Upon seeing the man with a delicate face and hair that seemed to be coiled into a long snake shape.

Ji Yuan immediately remembered something.

He has a scale on his body that he intends to give to the Lord of the Black Serpent Palace.

It was taken from the Holy Fish King by Ji Yuan from the Fallen Immortal Valley back then.

However, with so many people this time, it's not easy to give them a plan.

He could only hope that once he entered the Rakshasa Sea, he would have a chance to give it to him.

If that doesn't work, we can give it to them when we go to the Southern Border City later.

Seven of the eight holy sites have arrived.

Finally, Yunya Temple, the furthest away and located on a remote island overseas, arrived late.

However, as soon as the people from Yunya Temple arrived, Ji Yuan perked up.

It wasn't just Ji Yuan; the people from the other seven holy lands were also somewhat shocked when they saw Yunya Temple.

Because those who came from Yunya Temple were actually the Joyful Lady, who was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, and the Soul Devouring Venerable, who was in the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm!

They were aware that the Soul Devourer had joined the Cloud Cliff Temple.

But Lady Huanxi... They had vaguely heard some rumors, but they never expected it to be true.

"Fellow Daoist, you look unfamiliar. Are you perhaps not from our Extreme Abyss Continent?"

The high platform of the Xuan Snake Mansion is closest to the Cloud Cliff Temple, so the Lord of the Xuan Snake Mansion naturally struck up a conversation.

The Joyful Lady was skilled in dual cultivation techniques and was adept at socializing, making her even more adept at handling such situations.

So she swayed her hips and stepped forward, covering her mouth and chuckling softly, "I am a person who has left my hometown and come to your esteemed place for the first time. I am grateful to all of you fellow Daoists for taking me in."

She had barely finished speaking when the Lord of the Black Serpent Palace was thinking of replying.

But then two figures appeared suddenly above the deep pit, like crimson rays piercing the sun, in the center of the many high platforms gathered there.

Two figures, one in black and one in white.

The moment they appeared, a heavy pressure spread out.

The Nascent Soul cultivators were alright, but the other Core Formation cultivators... all bowed their heads under this pressure.

The Soul-Suppressing Bell above Ji Yuan's Sea of ​​Knowledge trembled slightly, thus neutralizing the oppressive force for him.

But he still wisely lowered his head.

But even this slight anomaly was noticed by everyone.

"Kid, not bad, hehehe."

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice rang out in the sky above Ji Yuan Shi Hai.

-

(Don't worry, Old Demon Qiu and Old Demon Ji will meet here in the Rakshasa Sea.)

(End of this chapter)
