Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 391 Ji Yuan and Nightmare True Lord [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Even though Ji Yuan asked the question, Qiu Qianhai still subconsciously thought of asking.

But he stopped himself from saying it.

After all, they had been master and disciple for decades, so he knew exactly what he could and couldn't say.

Nightmare Lord glanced at him first, as if he had seen through Qiu Qianhai's thoughts, and then said, "There's nothing I can't say. I am Nightmare Lord."

"Wh...what?!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan suddenly stood up from his seat.

His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

"You...you are actually...you are actually Nightmare Lord?"

"it's me."

Nightmare True Monarch frowned. He knew that he was somewhat famous in the Extreme Abyss Continent, so it was within his expectations that the person in front of him would recognize him after he revealed his name.

But this reaction seems a bit too much.

What's wrong with you?

Seeing that Ji Yuan was still somewhat shaken, Nightmare Lord couldn't help but ask him.

Ji Yuan first rubbed his face, then let out a long breath before saying, "Senior, are you truly the Nightmare True Lord?"

"Yes, Lao Ji, you don't need to ask anymore. My master is the Nightmare True Lord. He founded the Nightmare Sect back then, which is the Nightmare True Lord of the current Bone Nightmare Sect."

Qiu Qianhai added.

Ji Yuan took a deep breath before slowly saying, "After I arrived in the Extreme Abyss Continent, I was forcibly taken away. In the end, I became the disciple of a Nascent Soul cultivator. That Nascent Soul cultivator was known as... Fire Spirit Ghost Mother."

"What?!"

Qiu Qianhai, who had been calm just moments before, also stood up abruptly.

He often heard the title "Master's Wife" from Nightmare Lord, but Nightmare Lord habitually called her... a lowly servant!

Nightmare Lord looked slightly better, but his right hand, which was resting on the table, immediately clenched into a fist, and he raised an eyebrow.

"Oh?"

His eyes narrowed slightly, a barely perceptible ruthlessness flashing within them.

"She actually takes on apprentices?"

"The one who kidnapped you must have been the Bone Nightmare Demon, right?"

"Hmm." Ji Yuan nodded first, then stretched out his right hand. With a thought, a soft "pop" sounded, and a green ghost fire lit up from his palm.

The flames were lit, but the light inside the room seemed to have dimmed somewhat.

"Oh? The Shadow Corpse Demon Fire?"

Nightmare Lord was somewhat surprised to see the flames, but he quickly realized what was going on.

"You are the nourishment that Gu Yan prepared for her. She cultivated the Soul-Devouring Cold Flame, and by devouring and refining your Yin Corpse Demon Flame, she can enhance her cultivation and strength... Before I died, I broke her foundation. It won't be easy for her to repair it. You can only be regarded as a temporary measure."

Nightmare Lord said with a cold laugh.

"The two scoundrels who came in this time are most likely seeking a way to prolong their lives by burning lamps."

He sighed, tucked his hands into his sleeves, and said:

"At the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he was almost given a thousand-year extension of his life. My good disciple, you truly have remarkable skills and abilities."

Ji Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes dark, and said, "That's right, so after I entered the Rakshasa Sea, I faked my death and escaped first."

"It seems we are indeed somewhat destined for each other." Nightmare True Monarch clicked his tongue a few times before chuckling, "No wonder you two are brothers in arms."

Qiu Qianhai said, "That's right, Lao Ji, don't panic. My master and I came in here to avenge that despicable couple! Don't worry, we'll get revenge for you too!"

"revenge……"

Ji Yuan frowned slightly, glanced at Nightmare True Monarch again, and after a moment's hesitation, he still chose to speak:

"I previously lived in the Bone Nightmare Sect. As far as I know, the current Bone Nightmare Old Demon is already in the mid-Nascent Soul stage, and he is one of the stronger ones in the mid-Nascent Soul stage. Although the remaining Fire Spirit Ghost Mother is about to reach her limit, she is still in the early Nascent Soul stage."

"Moreover, a Nascent Soul cultivator who is already nearing the end of his life... in some ways, is actually even more terrifying."

"You mean to say that they are very strong, but I am only a peak Core Formation cultivator, right? You mean that I am not strong enough? You can just say so."

Nightmare Lord said with a chuckle.

After listening, Ji Yuan nodded seriously.

"Please be cautious, senior. Right now, the enemy is in the open while we are in the dark. Given time, we may have a chance to take revenge ourselves."

Ji Yuan was mainly worried that Nightmare True Monarch might take a risk and cause Qiu Qianhai to suffer losses, or even get his revenge. In that case, Qiu Qianhai would lose his usefulness and be directly possessed by him.

"Don't worry, since I dared to come, I'm confident of victory."

Nightmare True Monarch smiled confidently, "All of this Bone Nightmare Old Demon's techniques were taught by me. When he first became my disciple, I saw that he was wicked, so when I taught him the Great Dream Demon Scripture, I deliberately held back a bit..."

Nightmare Lord paused for a moment before continuing:

"Now, as soon as his mind is disturbed, his cultivation technique will reverse. His meridians will be damaged, not to mention repair, it will take him several days to calm the disordered magic power... However, since he has already formed his nascent soul, his mental state has improved a lot, but I also have a way to disturb his mind."

If this is true, it just goes to show that experience matters.

After thinking it over, Ji Yuan still said, "This Bone Nightmare Demon is extremely talented. Perhaps he has repaired the flaws in the technique... Senior, it would be best to be careful."

"It's easy to fix. As long as his cultivation advances to the late Nascent Soul stage, the flaw will naturally disappear. But as long as he doesn't break through, this technique will trap him for a day."

Nightmare Lord seemed extremely confident.

Seeing that he was determined to take action this time, Ji Yuan couldn't persuade him any further. He could only nod and stop talking about it, then turned to Qiu Qianhai beside him and smiled:

"Indeed, it was I who spread the name of Old Demon Qiu over the Canglu Continent, how about it?"

"Good heavens, you almost killed me... But it's alright, I've made a name for myself here in the Abyss Continent."

Qiu Qianhai laughed and scratched his head, "But now that we're both alive and well, it's a bit awkward."

"Hehe, isn't that right?"

Ji Yuan rolled his eyes. "I've been in the Abyss Continent for decades, and I don't even dare to use my real identity. I have to consider changing my identity every time I take a step. I really wanted to find you and tear you to pieces to vent my anger!"

"Damn it, how dare you say that? You have no idea how badly I was hunted down back in the Canglu Continent..."

"..."

Once they started talking...

Since both of them had something to complain about, they started talking non-stop.

But despite all that, the problem they're facing right now... remains unsolved.

Even if he went out now and admitted in front of Xun Tianji and all the other peak Core Formation cultivators that this old demon was not the same as that old demon, they would still believe him.

A friend’s wife?

Did they really expect to prove themselves in front of all the cultivators on the entire Abyss Continent?

This is simply impossible. Even if it were to succeed, Qiu Qianhai would be hunted down with nowhere to go, and Ji Yuan would still have to help him.

Therefore, the only solution is...

Infant formation.

Only by breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage can one solve all the current problems.

As for the questions Qiu Qianhai asked, Ji Yuan naturally answered them one by one. However, with Nightmare True Monarch present, what he said was a mix of truth and falsehood. For example, when he came to the Extreme Abyss Continent, he said that he used his identity to teleport here after the teleportation array was opened.

The question that Nightmare Lord most wanted to ask, and was most curious about, was naturally Ji Yuan's other Nascent Soul stage master.

However, Ji Yuan kept changing the subject, saying that the other party was still in Canglu Continent.

Nightmare Lord couldn't keep pressing the matter, so he had no choice but to give up.

"So, young friend Ji, what are your plans next? You'll be going to the core area, won't you?"

"Since we're already here, we should at least broaden our horizons."

Nightmare Lord nodded and suggested, "In that case, how about we travel together for the rest of the journey?"

"Then I'll have to trouble you to take good care of me, senior."

Ji Yuan, who hadn't even sat down, bowed respectfully to Nightmare Lord.

The latter nodded slightly in agreement.

Only Qiu Qianhai, whose face was already obscured, felt slightly worried but dared not speak, and remained silent in the middle of the room.

Ji Yuan then caught up with Qiu Qianhai.

Most of the time, Qiu Qianhai was asking questions and Ji Yuan was answering, and they mostly talked about old friends and stories from Yunyuzhe.

After listening for a while, Nightmare Lord took out the rare treasure he had just acquired.

He didn't hide it at all, and he was refining it right in front of Ji Yuan.

He didn't stand on ceremony, and neither did Ji Yuan; they just openly watched from the sidelines.

This wondrous treasure turned out to be a bronze arrow.

It has obvious mottled marks, and there is even a small notch at the tip of the arrow.

"Senior, this treasure seems incomplete... It looks like it's missing a bow?"

How do you calculate having arrows but no bow?

"Um."

"The bow is lost, and even if it wasn't lost, it's not something I can use right now."

"What level of cultivation is required?" Ji Yuan pressed.

"It takes at least a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, and even a peak Nascent Soul stage cultivator can barely use it. To use it freely... that would require a Deity Transformation cultivator."

Nightmare Lord said casually.

"A Nascent Soul cultivator..."

Ji Yuan was also somewhat shocked upon hearing this, aside from Hua Yaoyue, who was unaware of the situation.

The most powerful cultivators he had ever seen were the Black and White Duo.

But they are only at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators don't know if the ancestor of the Black and White Temple still exists.

Outside the door, the turmoil continues.

Several days passed in this way. Ji Yuan, who was meditating in the house, suddenly felt a powerful wave coming from the four directions of east, west, south, and north.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

Nightmare True Monarch, who had already stood up, said softly, "The first level of the Inner Domain Trial has opened, and now we can go directly to the core area... Young friend Ji, would you like to continue your training in the Inner Domain, or go to the core area now?"

"Can we go to the core area now?"

Ji Yuan asked in surprise.

"Um."

After Nightmare Lord finished speaking, he flipped his right hand and took out the Golden Ghost Token, then poured in a surge of magical power.

Two streams of energy flew out from it and landed, transforming into two doorways.

Previously, when Ji Yuan was used, there was only one portal leading to the outer realm, but now, there is an additional portal leading to the core area...

Nightmare Lord was about to casually disperse it, but at that moment, as if he had caught some information, he stopped moving and stood still.

...Did the ghost send him a telepathic message?

Ji Yuan's subconscious thought was this, because in this Rakshasa Sea, apart from the Ghost Messenger, no one else has this ability to appear and disappear unpredictably.

"Furthermore, judging from our previous conversation, this Nightmare True Monarch seems to know Rakshasa Sea exceptionally well. Aside from the fact that a Nascent Soul cultivator might indeed possess more information... it's possible he also has some kind of private deal with this ghost messenger."

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

"Young friend Ji, it may be time to separate for the time being," Nightmare True Lord suddenly turned around and said.

"It's alright, please make yourself at home, senior."

Ji Yuan smiled.

"Yes, there are Nascent Soul cultivators fighting in the core area. I need to go there as soon as possible to see if I can find a suitable opportunity... If you are ready, you can come to the core area to find me at any time."

"it is good."

As Ji Yuan nodded, Qiu Qianhai's voice transmission rang out again above the sea of ​​consciousness.

He was very reluctant, but Nightmare Lord wanted to take his body away, so he had no choice but to follow.

Nightmare Lord pushed open the door to the core area, stepped inside, and disappeared.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Senior Ghost Messenger?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

As soon as the ghost's cold voice rang out, Ji Yuan had already guessed the outcome.

"The first trial in the inner domain, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Paying Homage to the Ancestor Formation, has been activated. Your task is to guard the four key points of the formation and prevent them from being breached."

This time, the ghost messenger didn't say anything more, simply gave his instructions, and then withdrew his aura from Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan didn't hesitate any longer.

Previously, everyone had been hiding indoors and remained silent for so long. Now that the trial has reopened... it is bound to be another bloody battle.

This is a good opportunity to "borrow" merit points from others, and Ji Yuan certainly wouldn't miss it.

When he came out of the house and leaped onto the roof, his divine sense surged forth, and he immediately took in the surrounding situation.

He didn't even need to use his divine sense; his gaze swept around and he saw four beams of light of various colors shooting straight into the sky in this Rakshasa City.

Eastern cyan, southern red, western gold, northern blue.

The closest thing to Ji Yuan was naturally the blue pillar of light to the east. He scanned it with his divine sense and found that the people standing inside the pillar of light were all disciples of the Yin Ghost Sect.

Those besieging the pillar of light outside, which is the core of the array, are all rogue cultivators... Ma Gui is among them!

At this moment, his attack was extremely fierce. Ji Yuan took a few more glances and realized that among these Yin Gui Sect disciples, there was only one at the peak of the Core Formation stage, and he wasn't very famous.

In addition, Ji Yuan searched the surrounding area again.

However, the figure of Yin Gu Shangren was nowhere to be seen, and it was unknown where he had gone to seize the treasure.

Ji Yuan took a few more glances and discovered that the location of the array's core was precisely at Dongyue Tower.

Therefore, the four key points of the formation in the east, west, south, and north correspond exactly to the four Yue Towers in the east, west, south, and north.

Ji Yuan originally intended to join the battle here, hoping to find an opportunity to kill Ma Gui.

But then he remembered that Mu Xueyao was still in the south... and the communication talisman in Rakshasa City was also ineffective. Helpless, Ji Yuan had no choice but to fly south.

In the end, he did consider using his Eye of Truth to examine the many formations in the Rakshasa Sea, but with the presence of the Ghost Messenger... Ji Yuan dared not gamble.

According to Hua Yaoyue, the Eye of Truth is a treasure that can be considered a supreme treasure in the entire human realm.

Others on this Abyss Continent might not recognize it, but the Ghost Messenger might. It, along with the entire Yin Ghost Sect, is actually an outsider.

He came from another continent, so who knows if he's knowledgeable enough to know about the Eye of Truth?

If it were to target him, Ji Yuan felt that his life would be over.

Ji Yuan was dressed in a silver-white robe and had a mid-stage Core Formation cultivation level. He was also traveling alone, so he was naturally targeted by a rogue cultivator during his journey south.

The cultivation level is at the peak of the Core Formation stage.

Mo Tusheng was, by a small measure, an old friend of Ji Yuan.

He was originally on the street, but when his divine sense detected Ji Yuan passing by, he took a step forward and blocked his way.

He deliberately didn't use his lightning strike and even changed his aura and appearance, thus devising a fishing plan... and actually caught a big fish.

"I see you seem to be in a hurry, perhaps you shouldn't leave."

Mo Tusheng said with a smile, "How about you take out the contribution points you have and hand them over to me?"

Ji Yuan glanced at him, a thought flashing through her mind, and immediately made up her mind.

kill!

Right now, everyone else is attracted by the Ten Thousand Ghosts Paying Homage Formation and has no time to pay attention to it... Isn't this a perfect opportunity to kill Mo Tusheng?

There's no need to worry about being disturbed by others.

Putting aside the considerable amount of contribution points he possessed, the Yin Corpse Demon Fire alone was enough for Ji Yuan to have long planned to kill him.

Coincidentally, he had already used the true treasure he possessed back in the outer realms.

Just like now... Ji Yuan saw him still spouting nonsense.

"go!"

Ji Yuan gave a soft shout.

The four swords, Canglan, Xuesha, Leiji, and Yunque, flew out from his dantian and surrounded him from all sides.

"Ha, just a last-ditch effort!"

Mo Tusheng raised his right hand, and a black banner flew out from behind him, eventually landing in his hand.

He gripped the flagpole with his right hand, the black banner brushing against him.

Instantly, a thick layer of black mist appeared around him, swirling around Ji Yuan, with ferocious heads emerging from within it.

Ji Yuan's four flying swords were struck out, but they were caught by the heads.

Without using the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, Ji Yuan was temporarily restrained and unable to move.

Upon seeing this, Mo Tusheng burst into laughter and slammed the flag in his hand into the ground.

With a crisp "clang".

Although the black banner still failed to pierce the formation and penetrate the ground, human hands began to emerge from under the flagpole, gripping the ground tightly.

It's just like the Yin Ghost Formation of Ji Yuanbu.

Black mist surged out from the black banner, spreading in all directions at an incredible speed, like long black snakes weaving through the streets and alleys.

Without hesitation, Ji Yuan took out a small magical iron box.

The tin box was thrown out and grew taller as it was lifted into the wind.

Mo Tusheng scanned this scene with his divine sense and was slightly surprised.

Thinking to himself, what use is a magic artifact box to a battle between peak Core Formation cultivators?

Is it your own urn?

But the moment the metal box hit the ground, he knew why.

Because the moment the iron box hit the ground, a formation was activated!

It covered the entire street in an instant at an extremely fast speed.

Moreover, its power is clearly even greater than my own Soul Refining Circulation Formation... As soon as this formation appeared, it encompassed the Soul Refining Formation.

"fall!"

Ji Yuan's cold voice rang out, and then Purple Heaven Divine Lightning fell simultaneously from the four flying swords that were bitten!

At the same time, the inverted Big Dipper formation descended from the sky above the street.

Heavenly Pivot Killing Formation, activated!

In an instant, four thick bolts of Purple Heaven Divine Lightning burst forth from the sword. The black mist on Mo Tusheng's body couldn't even withstand the extremely yang and powerful Purple Heaven Divine Lightning for a moment before it was shattered.

At the same time, snow-white sword light also fell from the sky.

"What?!"

Mo Tusheng, who had just been relaxed and calm, became panicked in the blink of an eye.

The tide has turned just like that?

The formation was set up so quickly, which was one thing, but now they even have flying swords made of Purple Cloud Stone, four of them!

Isn't this the nemesis of us demonic cultivators?!

The situation was urgent, and Mo Tusheng couldn't care less about anything else.

He placed one hand in front of him, forming a hand seal, and silently chanted, "Out!"

Instantly, rings of green flames emanated from his body, forcefully blocking the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning that was spreading from all directions.

When lightning and fire clashed, the Yin Corpse Demon Fire, though not completely routed, was indeed extinguished in an instant where the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning swept across.

Purple thunder, green fire.

In an instant, an extremely strong fluctuation of spiritual energy emanated from Mo Tusheng.

So much so that the flying sword energy generated by the Tian Shu Killing Array was overturned by these energies before it even had a chance to get close.

...His Yin Corpse Demon Fire looks like it has been nurtured for who knows how long, and its power is so strong. My demon fire was made by burning the core of a ten-thousand-year-old pine tree given to me by the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother, and only now does its power seem to be about the same as his.

He probably used quite a few things to stomp the fire.

After all, there are very few rare items that can withstand the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, let alone demonic fire.

"If that's the case... then let's try again!"

Ji Yuan grinned maliciously, and the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder contained within the four flying swords was activated once again.

Streams of divine lightning cleaved out from the flying sword, overlapping with the lingering Purple Heaven Divine Lightning. In an instant, Mo Tusheng's Yin Corpse Demon Fire was suppressed, almost clinging to his body.

If he doesn't take it back soon, his demonic fire won't last much longer!

"OK!"

Mo Tusheng braced his hands in front of him, his black hair flying wildly. He gritted his teeth and said, "So that's why someone in the mid-stage of Core Formation can wear a silver robe and dare to parade around Rakshasa City. Turns out, they've got some skill!"

"So noisy!"

Ji Yuan only responded with two words!

At the same time, he raised his right hand, and four flying swords flew in the direction of his gesture, finally converging above Mo Tusheng's head. Behind him, another flying sword, several times thicker, flew out.

Five swords combined – Greatsword Technique!

"cut!"

Seeing this scene, Mo Tusheng dared not hesitate for a moment.

A paper figure the size of a palm flew out from his sleeve and hovered in front of him. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, which stained the paper figure. The moment the blood soaked the paper figure, his figure immediately disappeared from the spot.

Having activated five flying swords in succession and also distracted himself from manipulating the formation, Ji Yuan had already used all his strength.

Therefore, the shape-changing talisman on his body was slowly losing its effect, and his original appearance and aura disappeared, all transforming into his true face.

This sight caused Mo Tusheng, who had just escaped from the encirclement and attack of the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, to exclaim in astonishment.

"So it was you, you old devil!"

Ji Yuan: "..."

"Damn it, damn it, give me back my junior sister's life!!!"

Mo Tusheng, who had only intended to kill and plunder the treasure, was immediately enraged upon seeing this, and was even close to roaring to the sky.

The surrounding area was filled with demonic energy, and even the black hair on his head was almost standing on end.

Black lines appeared at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, and his eyes turned as black as ink. His already black robes now appeared even more so.

And his hands...

What were once perfectly normal hands in Ji Yuan's eyes had now transformed into two iron hooks... This sight inexplicably brought three words to Ji Yuan's mind.

Black Impermanence!

"Die!"

Mo Tusheng raised his hands, and the two iron hooks collided in front of his chest with a "clang".

The sword energy from the Heavenly Pivot Killing Array kept attacking from all sides, but it couldn't even break through his protective spiritual light. It wasn't enough, far from enough!

Seeing this, Ji Yuan's expression became even more serious. He raised his hand and summoned the five flying swords back, making them float vertically around him to serve as a protective sword formation.

Mo Tusheng flashed and appeared behind Ji Yuan.

He swung his double hooks straight at Ji Yuan's shoulder, but at that moment, he suddenly realized... the man was gone.

Not only was he gone, but the sword energy that had been surrounding him also vanished instantly, replaced by a series of Ji Laomo!

He instinctively swung the two hooks in his hand toward his side.

Wherever the iron hook passed, these old devils were all torn to pieces.

But then, one after another, the old demons of Ji still came from all directions, as if they could never be killed off.

Seeing this, Mo Tusheng made a hand seal.

A ring of Yin Corpse Demon Fire reappeared, burning in all directions. Wherever the demon fire passed, the army of Ji Lao Demons was instantly annihilated.

He watched this scene, his brows furrowed, and he murmured to himself.

"An illusion array?"

With that, he flipped his hand and took out a black pebble from his storage bag, then put it in his mouth.

The moment the black stone entered his mouth, the scene before him changed drastically.

He saw that the figures of the old demon Ji had all turned into ashes and disappeared. He scanned the area with his divine sense and looked around.

But... there was still no sign of that old devil Ji!

The vast street was completely empty; not a single trace could be seen.

He knew something was wrong, so he immediately raised the two hooks in his hands and held them horizontally in front of him. Then he spat out the pebble from his mouth, letting it fall between the two hooks.

The countless demons reappeared before his eyes, but he ignored them, focusing only on tearing apart the double hooks in his hand.

The scene before my eyes was torn apart like a blank sheet of paper.

But just then, a voice rang in his ears.

"Do you really think I'm dead?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, thunder roared from the sky.

"You son of a bitch..."

Mo Tusheng cursed, but in his mind he was trying to withdraw the demonic fire, and at the same time he quickly held up his double hooks to protect himself.

"boom--"

The sudden bolt of purple lightning pierced through the demonic fire and struck his chest, but was blocked by the hooks. The energy generated by the collision of magical power raged wildly.

Even so, Mo Tusheng was still knocked back to the ground and fell heavily to the ground.

The moment he landed, he vanished, and when he reappeared, he was already at the end of the street.

Still shaken, he looked back at the path he had walked... Damn it, how could that old devil Ji be so ruthless!

Having failed to gain the slightest advantage in several previous encounters, Mo Tusheng had given up on trying any further.

Especially the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning... it perfectly countered his pride and joy, which could even be described as the Yin Corpse Demon Fire that dominated the Core Formation stage.

What's the point of fighting now?

Fight with your head!

run!

The best course of action is to run away first, and then we can figure things out later.

He immediately set off, but did not notice at all that he had escaped the illusion array.

But the result?

He didn't even sense his own Soul Refining Heaven Formation. He fled at an extremely fast speed, but he soon discovered that this old demon's speed was just as fast, perhaps only slightly slower than his own.

If he slows down even slightly, you feel like you're about to be overtaken.

For this reason, he even put the black stone back in his mouth and looked back at it again.

This time... Old Demon Ji is still around!

This proves that he is indeed the real one.

at the same time.

Outside the inverted Big Dipper formation, Ji Yuan watched as Mo Tusheng fell directly from the second layer of the Tianxuan Illusion Formation into the fifth layer of the Yuheng Illusion Formation.

I don't know what to say.

He weighed the black stone in his hand.

In fact, as early as when Mo Tusheng tore through the second layer of the Tianxuan Illusion Array, Ji Yuan had already quietly taken the black stone from his hand.

Just like now, he watched Mo Tusheng, who was wandering around like a headless fly in the fifth level of the Jade Balance Illusion Array, still thinking that he had escaped.

In the end, I lost the will to wait.

While remaining outside the formation and keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings, he once again activated the five flying swords with his mind.

The Giant Sword still came first, followed by four more... also Giant Swords.

It was just one mother sword and four child swords.

Ji Yuan activated his greatsword technique.

Five swords combined.

A brand-new giant sword materialized and shattered the formation, slashing into it in one fell swoop.

In the reversed Big Dipper formation, Mo Tusheng, trapped in the fifth layer of the Jade Balance Illusion Formation, had been trying to escape for the time it takes to brew half a cup of tea, but he still hadn't shaken off Old Demon Ji, nor had he encountered a single living person... He vaguely sensed something.

An illusion array... Could it be that we're still inside an array?!

Realizing this too late, he immediately tried to sense his own Soul Refining Array with his mind, but to no avail.

Not good!

I should have thought of this sooner, but now... Could it be that this illusion array actually has the effect of influencing people's minds?

Just then, Mo Tusheng stopped and activated the demonic fire, transforming it into a demonic fire dragon that coiled behind him.

The old demon Ji charged forward and collided head-on with the demonic fire dragon... and then, nothing?

"What?!"

In a daze, Mo Tusheng seemed to sense some great terror.

In his haste, he looked up and saw a massive sword that seemed to have appeared above his head.

It appeared out of thin air, without a sound.

Logically speaking, such a powerful move should be something that one should be able to detect without any fluctuation of spiritual energy. There is only one possibility that could cause this—an array!

"Boom!"

Before the giant sword even touched him, a vast purple thunderstorm had already descended...

……

After a while.

Ji Yuan landed in the formation and stood on the street.

Before him now, apart from a charred heap on the ground, there was only a burning green demonic fire, two iron hooks that could be worn on his hands, an identity jade token symbolizing his status as a rogue cultivator, and a storage bag.

This was only because he intentionally manipulated things; otherwise, the storage bag probably wouldn't have been safe either.
