Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 1071 - 389: The Meeting of Old Demon Ji and Old Demon Qiu (Part 2)

Nightmare True Monarch pushed open the door and casually shattered a mid-stage Core Formation Yin Ghost, as Ji Yuan appeared behind him at the right moment.

Soon after, Nightmare True Monarch acted as though he were the host, opening all the doors of the room and casually saying, "Come in and talk."

"Hmm."

Ji Yuan showed no fear and walked straight into the room.

Nightmare True Monarch waved his hand, and four luminous Treasure Pearls flew out from his sleeve, landing around the room, making the originally dim space instantly bright.

Ji Yuan unceremoniously sat down to the side.

Nightmare True Monarch looked at him and smiled, "You must be the real Ji Yuan that little rascal Qiu Qianhai has been talking about countless times, right?"

"Yes, I am the real Ji Yuan."

Ji Yuan couldn’t help but laugh, "I wonder where my friend is."

"Don’t worry, I’ll let him out to meet you now." Nightmare True Monarch mentioned this, touched his forehead with his right index finger, as if drawing something out, and then pointed forward. A gray shadow flew out from his hand, landing on the ground to form a slightly gray figure.

But even the gray figure, Ji Yuan recognized him.

This is Qiu Qianhai!

"Lao Ji!"

Qiu Qianhai was obviously more excited, he opened his arms and charged forward, intending to give Ji Yuan a big bear hug.

But at the moment they were about to collide, his figure turned into gray mist and passed through Ji Yuan, re-condensing behind him.

This scene somewhat stiffened Ji Yuan’s expression on his face.

"Master."

Qiu Qianhai directly called out.

Nightmare True Monarch instinctively touched his chin where no beard existed, and explained with a smile, "Your Divine Soul is still too weak now and lacks physical form. It will get better after you undergo Nascent Soul Formation."

Ji Yuan softly asked, "If the junior didn’t see it wrong, this body seems to be Qiu Qianhai’s own. Can the senior temporarily let him control the body?"

Even upon hearing this, Nightmare True Monarch’s smile didn’t change at all.

"Ji Xiaoyou, it’s not well understood, swapping Divine Souls with this body not only greatly harms both souls but also does considerable damage to the body. Given we’re currently in such a perilous place as Rashamon Sea... it’s better to preserve strength as much as possible, for a meeting like this can happen any time once leaving. Isn’t that so?"

"What do you think, Xiaoyou?"

Ji Yuan didn’t speak, but he understood why Nightmare True Monarch acted this way.

Swapping Divine Souls requires both parties to be willing.

Now letting Qiu Qianhai come out willingly is an option, but once he’s out, he’ll likely be unwilling to return. With his character, he’ll definitely choose to act alongside Ji Yuan.

Then, if Nightmare True Monarch can’t come out, how can he seek revenge?

Besides, even if he comes out, his strength might be diminished.

"True, it’s not urgent at this moment, Lao Ji."

In Divine Soul form, Qiu Qianhai returned, rubbing his hands as he sat down beside Ji Yuan and quickly asked, "Weren’t you killed by that Grandmaster Qin back then? How did you survive? I was later saved by my master and brought here to the Jiyuan Continent."

"You have no idea, it was terribly hard for me alone here. If it weren’t so difficult to return, I would’ve wanted to find you right after my Foundation Establishment."

"By the way, when did you come over?"

"Haha, I bet when you heard the name Old Demon Ji, you were scared, weren’t you? How’s the reputation I built for you?"

"By the way, did you also spread my name on Cangluo Continent? Damn, when I went there saying I was Qiu Qianhai, everyone started attacking me. Then I found out the Blood Luo Mountain’s Young Master was killed by someone with my name."

"I didn’t know at the time, but now looking back, of course it was you. We’re quite in sync, aren’t we?"

Before Ji Yuan could answer the first question, Qiu Qianhai had already rambled on about many things.

Even Nightmare True Monarch couldn’t help but intervene, "You’ve asked so much, how can anyone respond?"

"That’s true." Qiu Qianhai laughed, "Then tell me how you survived, Lao Ji."

"How did I survive? You had your opportunity for success, why can’t your great brother have some as well?" Nightmare True Monarch answered the question himself, "By chance, must have been saved by some Nascent Soul True Monarch, right?"

Ji Yuan understood what Nightmare True Monarch meant.

It was likely he used some method to make Qiu Qianhai believe I was dead, now... Ji Yuan nodded with a smile, "Indeed, nothing escapes the senior, I did have a Nascent Soul stage master on Cangluo Continent."

"Great, my master is also a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator!"

Whether Qiu Qianhai sensed Nightmare True Monarch’s implication was unclear, but he was quite boastful nonetheless.

Ji Yuan pretended to just realize, immediately standing up with slight panic and bowing to Nightmare True Monarch.

"Unexpectedly, it’s a Nascent Soul senior, the junior has been rude, my apologies."

Ji Yuan then stood up, with a hint of curiosity asked, "May I dare to ask the senior’s honorable title?"
