Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 1072 390: Ji Yuan and Nightmare True Monarch

Even though Ji Yuan asked this question, Qiu Qianhai still subconsciously thought about opening his mouth.

But when the words reached his lips, he forcibly held them back.

After all, being master and disciple for decades, he was still clear on what could be said and what couldn't.

Nightmare True Monarch first glanced at him, as if he had seen through Qiu Qianhai's thoughts, then continued, "There's nothing that can't be said, I am Nightmare True Monarch."

"Wh... what?!"

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

His eyes were wide open, with disbelief written all over his face.

"You... you are actually, actually Nightmare True Monarch?"

"It's me."

Nightmare True Monarch frowned. He knew he had some fame on the Jiyuan Continent, so being recognized by the person in front of him after revealing his name was within his expectations.

But this reaction seemed a bit too much, didn't it?

"What's wrong with you?"

Seeing Ji Yuan still somewhat unsettled, Nightmare True Monarch couldn't help but ask.

Ji Yuan first rubbed his face and then exhaled a long breath before saying, "Are you truly Nightmare True Monarch, Senior?"

"Yes, Lao Ji, no need to ask, my master is Nightmare True Monarch, the one who founded the Nightmare Sect, which is now the Bone Nightmare Sect, that Nightmare True Monarch."

Qiu Qianhai added.

Ji Yuan took a deep breath and then slowly said, "After I came to Jiyuan Continent, I was forcibly taken and eventually became a disciple of a Nascent Soul cultivator, that Nascent Soul cultivator, titled... Fire Spirit Ghost Mother."

"What?!"

A previously calm Qiu Qianhai also immediately stood up.

The title "Master's Wife" was something he often heard from Nightmare True Monarch's mouth, but Nightmare True Monarch habitually referred to her as... a vile wench!

Nightmare True Monarch looked slightly better, but his right hand placed on the table immediately clenched into a fist, his eyebrows raised.

"Oh?"

His eyes narrowed slightly, a trace of imperceptible fierceness flashing through.

"She would actually take on a disciple?"

"It should be that Bone Nightmare Old Demon who took you, right?"

"Yes." Ji Yuan first nodded, then extended his right hand, with a thought, "Boom," a small green ghost fire ignited from his palm.

Although a flame was lit, the light in the entire room appeared to dim slightly.

"Oh? Yin Corpse Demon Fire?"

Seeing this flame, Nightmare True Monarch was somewhat surprised, but quickly realized something.

"You were prepared by Gu Yan as nourishment for her. She practiced the Soul-devouring Cold Fire, and by devouring and refining your Yin Corpse Demon Fire, she could enhance her cultivation and strength… Before my death, I severed her foundation. It won't be easy for her to repair it, so you can only be considered a temporary solution."

Nightmare True Monarch said with a cold laugh.

"That pair of dogs must have come in seeking a method to extend life by burning the lamp."

Sighing, he tucked his hands into his sleeves and said:

"Early-stage Nascent Soul, almost extending life by a thousand years, my dear disciple truly has skills and talents."

Ji Yuan nodded slightly, his expression gloomy as he said, "That is indeed the case, so after I entered this Rashamon Sea, I feigned death to escape and first got out."

"It seems we indeed share some fate." Nightmare True Monarch clicked his tongue several times before he laughed lightly, "No wonder you two are life-and-death brothers."

Qiu Qianhai said, "Exactly, Lao Ji, don't worry, my master and I came here to avenge that pair of dogs! Rest assured, we will also avenge your grudge!"

"Avenge..."

Ji Yuan frowned slightly, glancing at Nightmare True Monarch, and after a moment of hesitation, he chose to speak:

"I have been living in the Bone Nightmare Sect for some time, and as far as I know, the current Bone Nightmare Old Demon is already mid-stage Nascent Soul, among the stronger ones in that stage. The remaining Fire Spirit Ghost Mother, though nearing her limit, is also early-stage Nascent Soul."

"And a Nascent Soul cultivator nearing their limit... in some ways, is actually more terrifying."

"You mean to say their strength is formidable, but I am merely a Peak Core Formation cultivator, aren't you? You want to say my strength is insufficient, you can just say it."

Nightmare True Monarch laughed gently.

After listening, Ji Yuan seriously nodded.

"Senior, please proceed with caution, now that the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, given time, there may be an opportunity for revenge."

Ji Yuan was mainly worried that Nightmare True Monarch might take desperate measures, causing loss to Qiu Qianhai, or if he truly achieved his revenge, then Qiu Qianhai's usefulness might end, leading to him being usurped.

"Rest assured, if I dare to come, I naturally have the confidence to win."

Nightmare True Monarch smiled confidently, "All the cultivation techniques of the Bone Nightmare Old Demon were taught by me. When he was just admitted under my tutelage, I already saw that he had ill intentions. So, when I taught him the Great Dream Demon Scripture, I deliberately held back one hand..."

Nightmare True Monarch paused for a moment before continuing:

"Now, as long as his mind is disturbed, the cultivation technique will reverse, then his meridians will be injured; not to mention repairing, even calming the chaotic mana will take him several days... However, since he has already formed a Nascent Soul, his mind has certainly improved, but I also have a magic technique to disturb his mind."

...If this is true, it only shows that the elder is indeed very cunning.

Yet Ji Yuan pondered for a while before still saying, "The Bone Nightmare Old Demon is highly talented, he might have already repaired the flaw in the cultivation technique... Senior, be cautious."

"To repair it is simple, as long as he advances to late-stage Nascent Soul, the flaw will naturally be gone, but as long as he doesn't break through, the cultivation technique will hold him down."
