Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 1039 - 383: Reunion with the Nine Stanzas Soul Suppression Scripture!

These aren’t rotten corpses all over the ground, these are clearly immortal talents strewn everywhere!

"Looks like Lord Ghost Envoy really favored us this time. These contribution points, they’re practically free!"

Qi Xiu said playfully.

Ji Yuan responded, "The ones who should be crying are likely those fellow cultivators who have already passed through this stage."

"Indeed."

Qi Xiu deeply agreed, "In previous stages, one had to fight tooth and nail to earn just a handful of contribution points. But here they’re everywhere!"

"So, shall we..." Ji Yuan ventured tentatively.

"Let’s split up." Qi Xiu chuckled, but quickly added, "But don’t stray too far. If we encounter real danger, we should be able to call to each other."

"Alright, if I come across a peak Core Formation rotten corpse, I’ll be counting on Brother Qi to save me."

"No worries, no worries."

After speaking, Qi Xiu laughed and flew eastward.

Ji Yuan naturally went west.

He hadn’t flown far when he startled two early-stage Core Formation rotten corpses.

For Ji Yuan, this was no problem.

He unleashed his Flying Sword, quickly collecting the contribution points from the corpses.

To be safe, he didn’t reveal even a hint of the Purple Sky Divine Thunder, relying entirely on the power of the Blood Killing Sword.

As for Qi Xiu’s kills, he spared no caution. He circled around and lured five or six rotten corpses, then began killing them without mercy.

Just half a day later, Ji Yuan noticed.

As long as he kept a distance, Qi Xiu would move closer, both maintaining a not-too-close, not-too-far distance... It seems he’s really after me.

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

The two continued the slaughter for most of the day, until the rotten corpses in the area were mostly cleared out.

Qi Xiu sent a voice message suggesting, "Brother Qiu, let’s head north, going a bit deeper, what do you say?"

"Alright."

After their discussion, they began moving north.

But before Ji Yuan could kill a few more rotten corpses, Qi Xiu suddenly sent a message from the east:

"Brother Qiu, someone is coming... no, they’re being chased!"

"Damn, so many rotten corpses, a tide of rotten corpses, let’s do this!"

Qi Xiu spoke rapidly.

Having been using Divine Sense to watch Qi Xiu, Ji Yuan immediately expanded his Divine Sense range, quickly seeing the wave of rotten corpses Qi Xiu mentioned.

Leading the tide were two late-stage Core Formation cultivators, a man and a woman.

Panic-stricken, they were fleeing frantically towards Ji Yuan and Qi Xiu, with nearly a hundred rotten corpses on their tail.

Though most were early and mid-stage, there were late-stage Core Formation rotten corpses among them.

The fastest one leading them had peak Core Formation cultivation.

These rotten corpses were slightly slower than same-tier cultivators, otherwise, they would’ve caught up with those two by now.

Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense scrutinized further, quickly identifying the duo’s identity.

They were from Celestial Killer Mountain.

Even though a sect only has two or three Core Formation cultivators brought by a Nascent Soul Monster.

Other Core Formation cultivators can come on their own.

The couple before him likely fell into this category.

"Brother Qiu, I’m going in first!"

Seeing the rotten corpses tide visible to the naked eye, contribution points glittering in Qi Xiu’s eyes, he couldn’t wait any longer.

He transformed into Escape Light and flashed through.

From afar, Ji Yuan heard the Celestial Killer Mountain cultivators thanking loudly.

In contrast, Qi Xiu, surrounded by Flying Sabers, seemed to transform into a giant cone, drilling through the tide of rotten corpses with force.

In an instant, Ji Yuan seemed to see streams of numbers floating above his head.

"+3; +5; +3; +3..."

Ji Yuan watched, envious.

With a peak Core Formation cultivator aiding them, the Celestial Killer Mountain disciples began their counterattack.

Ji Yuan didn’t hesitate, likewise transforming into Escape Light and racing forward.

With the mass of rotten corpses before him, using Flying Sword would be too slow.

Of course, mostly it was a matter of not wanting to reveal the Purple Sky Divine Thunder.

With the Purple Sky Divine Thunder, these rotten corpses... would be easily annihilated en masse.

Since the Purple Sky Divine Thunder wasn’t suitable to expose, Yin Corpse Demon Fire would have to do.

This wouldn’t matter.

While contemplating, Ji Yuan brought his index and middle fingers together, raising them before him. A green Nether Fire appeared from thin air, burning slowly at his fingertips.

With a casual flick, he sent the Yin Corpse Demon Fire forward.

The demon fire spread with the wind, quickly burning around him, forming a green ring of fire.

Ji Yuan formed a seal with one hand, uttering a soft command.

"Open!"

With a light ’boom,’ the green ring of fire exploded, scattering countless strands of demon fire across the rotten corpses.

At first, there was nothing, but after the blink of an eye, the demon fire blazed fiercely, engulfing the corpses’ bodies.

Burning more than just one.

In just a few breaths, nearly twenty rotten corpses were consumed by Yin Corpse Demon Fire, their bodies, losing resistance, eventually sank back into the swamp.

Even as they sunk into the swamp, the Yin Corpse Demon Fire didn’t extinguish, but instead burned more vigorously.

This unexpected turn naturally drew the attention of Qi Xiu and the two Celestial Killer Mountain cultivators, but upon recognizing the fire, their expressions slightly shifted.

"Yin Corpse Demon Fire... Damn Qiu Qianhai, he actually managed to cultivate this thing. Damnable, does he have a Nascent Soul ancestor backing him?"

Originally confident of having Ji Yuan under control, Qi Xiu now felt a bit pressured after seeing the flame.
