Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 1000 - 375: [Spiritual Energy Cannon: Level 2] → [Meteor Cannon: Level 3]_3
Previously on Longevity through Upgrading Buildings...
"My master has left me with means!"
When Ji Yuan said these words, Long Ba had nothing more to worry about, nor any hesitation.
"Good!"
"Then let’s hide for a while and see."
Hearing this, Ji Yuan was at ease. He couldn’t help but think this senior uncle was truly easygoing.
Ji Yuan never thought that Long Ba, a dignified mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, would be willing to lead such a life of hiding.
But thinking about it, it made sense. Otherwise, how would he live so long, from the era of the Shang Court to the present as an ancient relic?
"This will do."
Long Ba swept his divine sense over the area, finding the seabed below was filled with rubble and sand—a perfect hiding place.
"Good."
With that, both of them plummeted straight into it. Ji Yuan turned his hand and took out an identical peculiar stone coffin from the storage bag.
Long Ba placed the conical hat for hiding upon his head, then lay inside the coffin, "Rest assured, with your senior uncle here, even if found, it will be no trouble."
Long Ba’s true form was the Divine Turtle Ba Xia, an unmatched defender. A mere mid-stage Nascent Soul couldn’t kill him, even in the late-stage.
"Good."
After Ji Yuan nodded in agreement, he too tilted downwards, lying within the stone coffin.
Soon, these two stone coffins slowly sank to the seabed, settling into the depths of the mud and sand.
The stone coffin shielded divine senses and could even cause them to ignore it.
So, once confirmed there was no issue, Ji Yuan activated his heart thought and entered the Mountain of Mind and Heart.
He was not worried about being discovered by Long Ba, nor by Qian Array Old Monster.
Upon entering the Cave Mansion, Ji Yuan stretched his body, accepting the tea offered by Tu Yue. After drinking it all in one go, he retrieved the three energy-collecting stones given by the Devourer of Souls from the storage bag.
Hmm... energy-collecting stones, super energy-gathering!
Ji Yuan held a gray-white stone in his hand, feeling the immense energy contained within.
He had no doubt that if the stone exploded now, his late-stage Muscle Forging Realm body wouldn’t survive.
Even the Mountain of Mind and Heart would be blown to pieces.
Realizing this, Ji Yuan’s hand trembled, quickly putting away the three stones.
Hmm... upgrading only requires two stones.
If the Meteor Cannon’s upgrade to Level 4 does not require the stone, the remaining one can be given to Long Ba.
To him, even if unused, it could be traded for something good.
He accompanied him on this journey; it wouldn’t do to have no reward at all.
Then, with a thought, Ji Yuan conjured the Spiritual Energy Cannon from the storage bag, placing it in front of him.
On a circular base, with mana infused, the Spiritual Energy Cannon activated.
"Bang"—a soft sound as the ring on the base floated mid-air.
"It’s just a pity the Spiritual Energy Cannon can’t be put inside the Mountain of Mind and Heart, otherwise it would be a moving cannon tower on the fifth floor."
However, if it is necessary, it can be upgraded now.
Yet, being chased by a Nascent Soul Monster, Ji Yuan dared not attempt it, as the stone coffin could shield divine senses but not overly obvious mana fluctuations.
Level 2 Spiritual Energy Cannon upgrades to Level 3 Meteor Cannon.
This was Ji Yuan’s first time experiencing such an upgrade and renaming, surely an unusual phenomenon, so it wasn’t worth gambling now.
With the upgrade materials in hand, it could be done at any time.
Thinking this, Ji Yuan waved his hand, collecting everything into the storage bag. He then entered the Spirit Vein, leveraging its Spirit Stones’ spirit effect to cultivate slowly and enhance strength.
He didn’t forget to first consume a four-colored Spirit Egg.
The surface of the Golden Core was already veined with blood, like an egg about to hatch life.
Ji Yuan had no doubt that before Rashamon Sea opened, his Golden Core would transform into a Blood Pill!
Another trump card!
No years pass within the coffin.
Ji Yuan cultivated within the Mountain of Mind and Heart while Long Ba employed the Turtle Breathing Technique, sinking into a deep state of turtle breath, compressing his aura and life signs to the extreme.
So no matter how long Qian Array Old Monster and the Devourer of Souls searched this area, even until the Lady of Joy arrived,
The three Nascent Soul cultivators searched together... yet found no trace.
They tracked all the way, only to discover the two auras vanished upon reaching this place.
But no matter how they searched, they couldn’t find them.
Ultimately, the three had to regroup at one spot.
Wearing an ugly expression, the Devourer of Souls gritted his teeth and said, "In my view, we might as well directly storm the Sea Ruins and demand an explanation from the Master of the Sea Ruins!"
Leaning on a cane, Qian Array Old Monster swept his gaze across the calm sea, expressionless, "If you can invite the Black and White Dual Fiends, I’ll join you on this venture."
Storm the Sea Ruins?
Ha.
Saying it is easy.
If the Cloud Cliff Temple had such ability, would the Sea Ruins dare provoke them?
With an unpleasant look, the Devourer of Souls glared at Qian Array Old Monster.
The Lady of Joy quickly mediated, stepping forward with a charming smile.
"The Sea Ruins is a gathering place of the Demon Race with unfathomable depths, so Brother Lu’s words hold reason."
"But given the Devourer of Souls has suffered losses for no reason, there is bound to be unrest in his heart... As I see it, those two demon creatures have likely fled and returned to the Sea Ruins, and we should report this to the Black and White Divine Hall. After all, the birth of a Young Master in the Land of the Sea Ruins is indeed a significant matter."
