Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 1099 - 395: 6th-Tier, 9th-Tier Blood Pool!
Previously on Longevity through Upgrading Buildings...
Nightmare True Monarch spoke with a tone tinged with envy and jealousy.
In the Cultivation Realm, everyone bears a head on their shoulders.
Who wouldn’t want such a life-saving method?
"Let’s go."
When Nightmare True Monarch spoke again, even his voice and tone weren’t as friendly.
Immediately, the two ascended into the air again, and Ji Yuan silently released his Divine Sense.
There are many Nascent Souls here, better to be cautious. Spotting them early could grant a greater chance of survival.
"..."
Ghost Flame Desert, core area.
Around a blood pool, roughly about twenty yards in size, numerous Nascent Soul Monsters were floating above each sand dune.
At this moment, they all stared eagerly at the blood pool in the center, their eyes filled with hope, but more so with helplessness.
Because at that moment, approximately ten miles south of the blood pool, the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake, holding a Sandalwood Bracelet, was steadily walking towards the center of the pool against the sandstorm.
He raised his left hand in front of him, seemingly shielding himself from the sandstorm, while his right hand continuously fiddled with the bracelet.
At first, the speed was slow, and the beads’ movement trajectory could be seen with the naked eye.
But as he ventured deeper, the speed at which he moved the wooden beads grew progressively faster.
Eventually, only afterimages could be seen.
The bracelet spun wildly in his hand.
Seeing that the bracelet was trembling violently, seemingly on the brink of breaking, he sighed, leaped backward, and transformed into Escape Light, returning to an empty spot atop a sand dune.
He looked down to see that the once intact bracelet now had many cracks on each round wooden bead, as if it were ready to crumble at any moment.
Looking at the item, he had no attachment, and with a firm squeeze, he crushed the almost useless bracelet.
On the northern dunes, the Soul Hall Master, cloaked in black, laughed sinisterly:
"Seems like even you, old long snake, couldn’t manage. Did you really think you could crawl into that blood pool?"
"Better than useless trash like you, who couldn’t even venture ten miles in."
The Mansion Master of Xuan Snake retorted calmly, cutting deep into the Soul Hall Master’s heart.
On the opposite sand dune, the Bone Nightmare Old Demon sneered:
"Ha, if it weren’t for the Soul Hall Master revealing this blood pool, would you be so arrogant?"
"Oh, have you grasped it clearly now?"
The Mansion Master of Xuan Snake lowered his gaze with a glance.
"Yes, it was your good friend, Soul Hall Master, who discovered the Sixth Transformation Blood Pool. Yet, who was the quickest to arrive and most eager to seize the opportunity, if not you, Bone Nightmare Old Demon?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, it still has to be you, Bone Nightmare Old Demon. Facing your friend, you stab him in the back, can anyone match your proficiency in this?"
"You!!!"
Two consecutive remarks ignited the Bone Nightmare Old Demon’s anger.
"Xuan Snake, are you tired of living this time? If so, just say it, I wouldn’t mind sending you off."
Bone Nightmare Old Demon spoke calmly.
Clearly, this time, he’s truly enraged.
"You can’t kill me."
The Mansion Master of Xuan Snake said calmly, shaking his clothes, then glanced at the Soul Hall Master beside him and stated, "If you join forces with him, you could kill me, but after killing me, with Bone Nightmare Old Demon’s nature, he’d be the first to jump out and cooperate with Bone Nightmare Old Demon to destroy your Soul Refining Hall."
Upon hearing this, the Soul Hall Master’s eyes flinched, then he chuckled: "Oh, Daoist Xuan Snake, why would I kill you without any enmity?"
At this point, above the southern sand dunes.
Lady of Joy was half-leaning over a soft chair covered with a pink blanket, watching the scene, couldn’t resist joining the fun.
"Alright, fellow Daoists, let’s stop arguing."
"The Bone Nightmare Sect Leader has been gone for so long, maybe he’ll return with some treasure that can break through the blood pool’s environment."
Upon hearing this, Bone Nightmare Old Demon suddenly raised his head.
"They’ve returned."
His mid-stage Nascent Soul could sense it, and naturally, the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake and others noticed too.
Immediately, they all looked south.
Since Lady of Joy was the first to speak, she was naturally the first to sense it.
After waiting a few breaths, a stream of blood-colored light streaked from the south, finally landing above the sand dunes beside Lady of Joy, transforming into the Bone Nightmare Old Demon and Fire Spirit Ghost Mother.
Moreover, there was an additional one-eyed man behind them.
His cultivation was only at the peak of Core Formation.
But everyone present knew him.
Bone Nightmare Sect’s, Ma Gui.
They were merely surprised that Bone Nightmare Old Demon would bring him along.
Having returned from afar, Bone Nightmare Old Demon was slightly panting upon landing.
Even so, the first thing he did was glance at the blood pool.
Seeing it as usual and intact, he felt relieved.
"Daoist Gu, how did it go?"
Bone Nightmare Old Demon quickly asked.
"True Monarch Xuanqing and others are still searching for Butcher Mountain, but they’ve narrowed down the range to an extremely small circle and will likely find the entrance soon."
Bone Nightmare Old Demon pursed his lips and mused:
"True Monarch Bai Chui encountered an unfamiliar Nascent Soul cultivator en route, also at the early stage of Nascent Soul, but remarkably powerful, almost perished if hadn’t used their sect’s treasure."
"What?"
The Soul Hall Master heard it with slight astonishment.
"An unfamiliar Nascent Soul cultivator, this powerful... could they have come from Cangluo Continent!"
