Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 1073 - 390: Ji Yuan and Nightmare True Monarch

Nightmare True Monarch seems incredibly confident.

Ji Yuan saw his determination to act this time, so he didn’t try to persuade otherwise, only nodding his head and turning to Qiu Qianhai with a smile:

"Indeed, the reputation of Old Demon Qiu on Cangluo Continent was spread by me, how about it?"

"Good fellow, almost got me killed... but it turned out alright, I’ve made your name known here on Jiyuan Continent too."

Qiu Qianhai laughed, scratching his head, "But now that we’re both alive and well, it’s a bit embarrassing."

"Haha, isn’t it?"

Ji Yuan rolled his eyes, "I’ve been in Jiyuan Continent for decades, not daring to use my true identity, changing identities at every step, back then I really wanted to find you and tear you apart to vent my anger!"

"Damn, you dare talk, you don’t know how I was hunted down on Cangluo Continent..."

"..."

The conversation box opened.

Both having their grievances led them to talk non-stop.

But talking aside, the issue standing in front of them now... had no solution.

Even if they go out now, in front of Celestial Secret and a group of Peak Core Formation cultivators, admitting that this Old Demon Ji is not the same as that Old Demon Ji, even if they could believe it.

What about others?

Expecting a self-proving session in front of all cultivators on Jiyuan Continent?

This is simply impossible, even stepping back, if it really happens, then Qiu Qianhai would be hunted with no place to go, wouldn’t Ji Yuan still have to help?

So the only solution is...

Nascent Soul Formation.

Only by breaking through and becoming a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator can they solve all difficulties they are facing.

As for the questions Qiu Qianhai asked, Ji Yuan naturally answered them all, but with Nightmare True Monarch there, his words were both true and false, such as coming to Jiyuan Continent, he said it was through a teleportation array he used after assuming an identity.

What Nightmare True Monarch was most curious about was undoubtedly Ji Yuan’s other Nascent Soul Stage master.

But Ji Yuan always danced around it, saying the person was still on Cangluo Continent.

Nightmare True Monarch couldn’t continue asking and had to let it go.

"So what are Ji Xiaoyou’s plans next? You should be going to the core area, right?"

"Since I’m here, I must go and broaden my knowledge."

Nightmare True Monarch nodded and suggested, "In that case, why not travel together on the upcoming journey?"

"Then I’ll have to trouble the senior to take care of me."

Ji Yuan, who was already standing, clasped his hands and made a bow towards Nightmare True Monarch.

The latter slightly nodded, agreeing.

Only Qiu Qianhai, whose face was never clear, felt a bit worried but dared not speak, neither to the left nor the right.

Later, Ji Yuan caught up with Qiu Qianhai.

Most of the time it was Qiu Qianhai asking, Ji Yuan answering, talking mostly about old friends and affairs in Cloud Rain Marsh.

After listening for a while, Nightmare True Monarch took out the Miracle Treasure he had just acquired.

He didn’t conceal it, refining it right in front of Ji Yuan.

Being straightforward, Ji Yuan was also unreserved, watching openly.

This Miracle Treasure was a bronze arrowhead.

It carried obvious mottled marks, especially at the tip, where there was a small notch.

"Senior, this Miracle Treasure seems incomplete... looks like it’s missing a bow?"

A bow without arrows, how does that work?

"Yes."

"The bow is lost, and even if it wasn’t, I wouldn’t be able to use it now."

"What’s the required cultivation level?" Ji Yuan asked further.

"At least late-stage Nascent Soul, peak Nascent Soul can barely manage, to use freely... that would require Divinity Transformation cultivators."

Nightmare True Monarch casually replied.

"Divinity Transformation cultivators..."

Ji Yuan couldn’t help but be amazed, excluding those unknown depths like Hua Yaoyue.

The highest cultivation level people he’s seen are Black and White Dual Fiends.

But they were only late-stage Nascent Soul.

As for Divinity Transformation cultivators, who knows if the ancestor of the Black and White Divine Hall still exists.

Outside, turmoil continued.

Several days passed like this, and suddenly Ji Yuan, who was quietly cultivating inside, felt a powerful surge from the four cardinal directions.

His eyes suddenly opened.

Nightmare True Monarch, already standing, lightly said: "The first trial of the inner realm has opened, you can now directly go to the core area... Ji Xiaoyou, do you choose to continue training here in the inner realm or go to the core area now?"

"I can go to the core area now?"

Ji Yuan asked in surprise.

"Yes."

After Nightmare True Monarch spoke, he flipped his right hand, taking out the Golden Ghost Order and pouring in turbulent mana.

From it emerged two streams of energy, transforming into two portals upon landing.

Earlier when Ji Yuan used it, there was only one portal leading to the outer realm, but now, there’s an additional portal to the core area...

Nightmare True Monarch intended to disperse it, but suddenly, like receiving some message, his action halted, and he stood still.

... Did the Ghost Envoy transmit a message to him?

Ji Yuan instinctively thought this because inside the Rashamon Sea, aside from the Ghost Envoy, no one else had such elusive ability.

’Moreover, judging from earlier conversations, this Nightmare True Monarch seems extraordinarily familiar with Rashamon Sea, excluding the fact that as a Nascent Soul cultivator he might naturally know more... he might also have some private dealings with the Ghost Envoy.’

Ji Yuan mused silently.
