Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 1074 - 390: Ji Yuan and Nightmare True Monarch

"Ji Xiaoyou, we might have to separate for a while." Nightmare True Monarch suddenly turned around and said.

"No problem, senior do as you please."

Ji Yuan smiled.

"Hmm, over at the core area, Nascent Soul Cultivators are already engaged in battle. I must hurry over to see if I can find a suitable opportunity... If you are ready, you can come to the core area to find me anytime."

"Alright."

As Ji Yuan nodded, Qiu Qianhai’s transmission sounded above his Sea of Consciousness.

He was reluctant, but Nightmare True Monarch was taking his body away, leaving him no choice but to follow.

Nightmare True Monarch pushed open the door leading to the core area and stepped through, disappearing from sight.

Ji Yuan watched this scene and couldn’t help but ask aloud: "Ghost Envoy, Senior?"

"Don’t ask what you shouldn’t."

Ghost Envoy’s cold voice sounded, and Ji Yuan instantly guessed the outcome.

"The first trial of the Inner Realm, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Assembling Array is now open. Your task is to guard the four array hubs and ensure they aren’t breached."

This time, Ghost Envoy didn’t bother with extra words, simply issuing instructions before drawing his aura from Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan didn’t hesitate further.

Everyone had been hiding inside for so long during the stillness, and now the trial reopens... it’s bound to be another bloody storm.

This is an opportunity to "borrow" contribution points from others, one that Ji Yuan won’t miss.

When he emerged from inside and leapt onto the rooftop, his Divine Sense surged forth, instantly taking in the surroundings.

He didn’t even need Divine Sense; a scan with his gaze revealed four towering beams of colored light in Rakshasa City.

East green, south red, west gold, north blue.

Of course, the nearest one to Ji Yuan was the eastern green beam, and his Divine Sense noticed that standing within were disciples of the Yin Ghost Sect.

Outside, attacking the beam, which was the array hub, were Loose Cultivators... including Ma Gui!

At that moment, he was extremely fierce in his assault, and watching for a few moments, Ji Yuan knew this was because among the Yin Ghost Sect disciples, only one was at the Peak of Core Formation, and not a famous one at that.

Additionally, Ji Yuan searched around several times.

But he didn’t see the figure of Yin Bone Master, not knowing where he had gone to vie for treasures.

Ji Yuan observed a few moments more, soon realizing the location of this array hub was precisely East Peak Tower.

So the four array hubs of east, west, south, and north correspond exactly to the four peak towers of east, west, south, and north?

Ji Yuan originally intended to join the fray here, hoping for a chance to kill Ma Gui.

But then he thought about Mu Xueyao still in the south... With communication talismans disabled in Rakshasa City, helplessly, Ji Yuan chose to fly south.

In the end, he also considered using the PWoang Divine Eyes to inspect the numerous arrays in Rashamon Sea, but with Ghost Envoy present... Ji Yuan dared not gamble.

The PWoang Divine Eyes, according to Hua Yaoyue, is considered a supreme treasure within the entire human realm.

The rest of Jiyuan Continent may not recognize it, but Ghost Envoy might not be the same; including the entire Yin Ghost Sect, they are actually foreign entities.

Having come from another continent, there’s no guarantee he isn’t knowledgeable and recognizes the PWoang Divine Eyes.

Being targeted by him might mean Ji Yuan’s life is as good as over.

Ji Yuan was wearing a silver-white robe and given his mid-stage Core Formation cultivation, flying alone, naturally attracted the attention of a Loose Cultivator.

With a cultivation at the Peak of Core Formation.

Someone who could reluctantly be considered an old friend of Ji Yuan—Mo Tusheng.

His figure was originally on the street, and upon detecting Ji Yuan with his Divine Sense as he passed by, he stepped forward, intercepting him.

On purpose, he hadn’t used the bolt of lightning nor altered his aura and appearance, aiming to fish for Ji Yuan... and indeed he caught a big fish.

"I see fellow Taoist is in a hurry, shouldn’t you stay a while?"

Mo Tusheng chuckled and said, "Why not take out the contribution points on your person and hand them over to me?"

Ji Yuan eyed him, thoughts flashing through his mind, making his decision instantaneously.

Kill!

At present, everyone else is attracted by the Ten Thousand Ghosts Assembling Array, temporarily unable to interfere... isn’t this the perfect opportunity to kill Mo Tusheng?

No need to worry about others interrupting.

Not to mention the considerable contribution points he possessed, merely the Yin Corpse Demon Fire he owned was enough for Ji Yuan to have long decided to eliminate him.

Moreover, the True Treasure he carried had already been used earlier in the Outer Realm.

Just like now... Ji Yuan watched him continue his pompous words.

"Go!"

Ji Yuan uttered softly.

The four swords of Canglan, Blood Kill, Thunder Strike, and Yunque flew out from his Dantian, converging on him from all directions.

"Ha, merely a futile struggle!"

Mo Tusheng raised his right hand, and a black banner flew from behind him, landing in his hand.

He gripped the flagpole with his right hand, the black banner sweeping over his body.

Instantly, a dense black fog enveloped him, within which ghastly heads emerged occasionally.

Ji Yuan’s four flying swords attacked, only to be caught by these heads.

Without resorting to Purple Sky Divine Thunder, Ji Yuan found himself in a deadlock, unable to move.

Seeing this, Mo Tusheng laughed heartily and suddenly planted the black banner into the ground.

"Zheng!" A crisp sound echoed.

The flagpole’s base spread out numerous human hands, firmly grasping the ground.

Just like Ji Yuan had set up a Yin Ghost Array.

The black fog surged from the black banner, spreading in all directions at remarkable speed, like black serpents darting through the city streets.
