Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 1117 - 399: Ji Yuan Takes Action and Obtains a Supreme Treasure!
Previously on Longevity through Upgrading Buildings...
Ji Yuan didn’t know if he was a great benefactor in his ten lifetimes.
He only knew that chaos was erupting above the sky.
Especially when Bone Nightmare Old Demon erased the last trace of Fire Spirit Ghost Mother’s Divine Soul right in front of Nightmare True Monarch, revealing such a cruel truth.
Nightmare True Monarch, together with Soul Hall Master, attacked from left and right, leaving Bone Nightmare Old Demon overwhelmed.
As for the Corpse Puppet that Fire Spirit Ghost Mother had transformed into, it was intercepted by the Golden Armored Corpse King.
Both were in the Early-stage Nascent Soul, and being lifeless objects, their battle was quite evenly matched.
"Nightmare knows his Dao partner is dead, and it seems he has little will to live anymore. Ah, love can’t be extinguished in this world,"
Mansion Master of Xuan Snake sighed upon seeing this.
Ji Yuan looked up and could infer some of it.
At this point, the Soul Hall Master was still faring well; though attacking was tough, at least he could protect himself.
But Nightmare True Monarch was different; with only a remaining corpse, reduced to mere bones, he now seemed to have used some White Bone Secret Technique, fighting as if his life meant nothing.
"What’s the chance of killing Bone Nightmare Old Demon?"
Ji Yuan transmitted his voice to Mansion Master of Xuan Snake to ask.
"High,"
Mansion Master of Xuan Snake replied without the slightest hesitation, "Highly likely they’ll both perish together. If that happens, Soul Refining Hall stands to gain greatly."
On hearing this, Ji Yuan couldn’t help but glance northward at Daoist Tian Sha.
He saw the Sect Leader of Celestial Killer Mountain, watching the battle on the sky with a grave expression.
Mansion Master of Xuan Snake continued, "It’s a pity, my Profound Snake Mansion is far in the Land of the Far South, while Bone Nightmare Sect is far in the Land of the Far North, separated by north and south, unable to reach."
Shaking his head as he spoke.
Ji Yuan also understood his implication.
If his Profound Snake Mansion were closer to Bone Nightmare Sect, he would intervene today.
...But should that happen, Daoist Tian Sha wouldn’t let Bone Nightmare Old Demon fall while Soul Refining Hall gains dominance, which would be disadvantageous to Celestial Killer Mountain.
And not favorable to Black and White Divine Hall.
Watching the scene, Ji Yuan didn’t speak but had some implicit speculations.
"Do you hope Bone Nightmare Old Demon dies?"
Mansion Master of Xuan Snake suddenly turned to Ji Yuan and asked curiously.
Ji Yuan thought back to what Fire Spirit Ghost Mother had told him earlier, solemnly saying, "If Bone Nightmare Old Demon doesn’t die, he’ll certainly aim to kill me."
"Then perhaps it’s better they die,"
Mansion Master of Xuan Snake didn’t explicitly offer protection to Ji Yuan but silently turned away.
Yet, it was at this moment that Bone Nightmare Old Demon’s shout suddenly came from the sky, "Tian Sha, are you truly going to watch as Soul Refining Hall monopolizes the power?"
Right after his words, Soul Hall Master spoke, "Tian Sha, this matter has nothing to do with you, think carefully before acting!"
Nightmare True Monarch chimed in as well.
"Tian Sha, have you forgotten? Who blocked them for you before the Black and White Divine Hall back then!"
It seemed there was still some connection between Nightmare True Monarch and Daoist Tian Sha.
Both sides were trying to win him over.
Indeed, in this situation, whoever Daoist Tian Sha sides with will win.
If he sides with Soul Hall Master and the others, it goes without saying, soon, Bone Nightmare Old Demon will be entirely slain.
But if he sides with Bone Nightmare Old Demon?
Then Bone Nightmare Old Demon would certainly survive, though it’s uncertain if Soul Hall Master will make it, but Nightmare True Monarch is probably doomed.
Daoist Tian Sha was surely aware of this, so he didn’t rush to choose a side, especially since the battle above still hadn’t become one-sided; he chose to bid his time.
Soon enough, barely half an incense stick later, Bone Nightmare Old Demon couldn’t hold on any longer, shouting again:
"Tian Sha, if you help me, I’ll pass on the Magic Technique to form a Second Nascent Soul, how about it?"
"No need, I can pass this technique to Daoist Tian Sha just the same,"
Nightmare True Monarch intercepted.
Ji Yuan slightly understood something from their words.
Could it be that back then, Nightmare True Monarch indeed found the Water Spirit Infant, intending to refine it using Bone Nightmare’s body?
Because from these words, it appeared he had the Magic Technique to form a Second Nascent Soul, possibly even originating from Yin Ghost Sect.
Soul Hall Master chuckled, saying "Tian Sha, how about you and I join hands and split Bone Nightmare Sect?"
"Eight Holy Lands become Seven, then in the entire Jiyuan Continent, what righteous path or Demon Sect, won’t they all have to heed us?"
Upon hearing, Mansion Master of Xuan Snake near Ji Yuan exuded a heavy pressure that forced him to lower his head.
But soon, the old serpent realized and withdrew the pressure from Ji Yuan.
He looked up at the sky, sneering:
"Do you really think I’m nonexistent?"
"Or those two old fiends from Black and White Dual Fiends are nonexistent? Dreaming like it’s spring and autumn."
On these words, Daoist Tian Sha turned to solemnly glance at Mansion Master of Xuan Snake.
In the sky, Bone Nightmare Old Demon, having gained nothing, found the situation even more precarious under Soul Hall Master and Nightmare True Monarch’s relentless assault.
Yet, he remained silent.
Mansion Master of Xuan Snake transmitted to Ji Yuan, saying, "Bone Nightmare just transmitted to Tian Sha, this old thing likely will snatch something good."
The "old thing" he referred to was naturally Daoist Tian Sha.
Now as Bone Nightmare faces life and death, what he promises must be extraordinarily precious.
