Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 1180 - 412: Moment of Manifestation [Monthly Pass Requested]
Previously on Longevity through Upgrading Buildings...
"It’s fine, Elder Bai only instructed us not to use the Divine Hall’s power. If it comes down to a matter of life and death, I’ll reveal my identity... Core Formation Cultivators may not recognize me, but Nascent Soul Cultivators certainly do. They won’t dare to make a move against me."
An Yue concluded in just a few words.
Of course, the fact that she managed to investigate matters to this extent is in itself extremely challenging.
Moreover, the opportunity is rare; otherwise, if she truly waits for the Sea-Swallowing Great Saint to ascend to Nascent Soul, her chances of understanding these matters... will be even more impossible.
"Sit, everyone sit."
The Sea-Swallowing Great Saint spread his hands and pressed down, laughing heartily.
He inadvertently paused his glance as it swept over the Demon Slave, while barely sparing a glance for An Yue.
Ji Yuan even less so.
Ji Yuan, standing in the corner, was completely ignored.
Even in the subsequent trading event, which featured some Immortal Talents from Core Formation Cultivators, whether it was some Tier Three Demon Pills or some other Tier Three Treasures of Heaven and Earth.
Ji Yuan dismissed them.
These kinds of things, his storage bag contained numerous.
After all, what was presented for trade was only what these Core Formation Cultivators couldn’t use themselves; the things they could use were still in their own storage bags.
And what Ji Yuan got at the time, was indeed their storage bags.
Thus, Ji Yuan watched the proceeding trading event with nothing more than amusement.
It wasn’t until near the dispersal that the Sea-Swallowing Great Saint, who had been adjusting his breath, finally opened his eyes, and his gaze naturally fell upon the Demon Slave.
"This fellow cultivator here looks unfamiliar to me, not like someone from our Extreme East Sea."
As soon as the Sea-Swallowing Great Saint spoke, the hall naturally grew silent.
Ji Yuan also looked around; although unsure if the Demon Slave and An Yue had used any technique to conceal their cultivation, at this moment they appeared to have mere mid-stage Core Formation cultivation.
Facing the Sea-Swallowing Great Saint, they seemed somewhat inadequate.
"It seems so. Back at Bone Nightmare Sect, they were just at early-stage Core Formation, now both have stepped into mid-stage Core Formation, which is still quite decent."
Ji Yuan pondered, while the Sea-Swallowing Great Saint spoke again:
"If it’s your first time here, I might show you around the Extreme East Sea. How does that sound to you, my friend?"
Once said, the cultivators present understood.
The Sea-Swallowing Great Saint took a liking to this female cultivator.
Though not to the point of becoming Dao companions, forcing her to stay was highly likely.
After all, which man wouldn’t be moved by such a female cultivator?
Not to mention the Sea-Swallowing Great Saint possesses the power to do so.
"Your demeanor seems as the rumors say." The Demon Slave smiled slightly and bowed.
"Oh? How do the rumors describe me?"
The Sea-Swallowing Great Saint chuckled, patting his belly.
"Arrogant and unreasonable, conceited and reckless."
These phrases from the Demon Slave turned the Sea-Swallowing Great Saint’s once laughing face solemn.
"For so many years, no one has dared to say that to me." The Sea-Swallowing Great Saint nodded self-consciously, "Interesting, interesting indeed."
The Demon Slave showed no panic but continued to smile, "While others may not know your origins, I am aware."
"Oh?"
The Sea-Swallowing Great Saint’s expression remained unchanged, "Since you’re so aware, why don’t you share your insights?"
The Demon Slave remained silent, but the voice of An Yue, behind her, rang out calmly, "Did you ever think, Fang Kuan, while being a pet boy in Bingtai Palace, that one day you’d become a Peak Core Formation Cultivator?"
With An Yue’s words, the faces of these Core Formation Cultivators present turned playful.
"What?!"
"A pet boy at Bingtai Palace... is there such a thing?"
"Bingtai Palace, why does this place sound somewhat familiar?"
"..."
But before they could speak further, a powerful aura emanated from the Sea-Swallowing Great Saint, azure blue mana surged from his body, flipping all the tables and chairs in front of him.
His gaze was extremely grim as he stared at An Yue and the Demon Slave opposite him.
"Those not wishing to die, get out now!"
The Sea-Swallowing Great Saint roared threateningly.
Upon these words, those Core Formation Cultivators who were here for the trade rapidly dispersed.
As for the Core Formation Cultivators on Swallow Sea Island, they stood up, encircling An Yue and the Demon Slave, as if afraid they’d escape.
Ji Yuan, who had been thoroughly enjoying the spectacle, decided not to interfere and got up to leave.
But as soon as he stood up, he received a message from An Yue.
"Brother Hu, if things accidentally escalate, could you lend a hand?"
Upon hearing this message, Ji Yuan couldn’t help but reply, "That’s the Peak Core Formation Sea-Swallowing Great Saint, and you two are only mid-stage Core Formation... Do you dare to make a move?"
After finishing, without waiting for her reply, Ji Yuan transformed into Escape Light and left.
If An Yue dares to make a move...
Ji Yuan truly has nothing to say.
Too reckless, with no sense whatsoever.
However, as Ji Yuan took to the sky, the Restrictions within the great hall reactivated, isolating any internal or external probing, leaving those wanting to see the excitement among the Core Formation Cultivators waiting idly.
Ji Yuan was relatively unaffected.
His mind was still contemplating the organization Bingtai Palace; he remembered previously encountering it while in Lindong City.
If not mistaken, it was during a quest for brewing materials that he met them.
It seems now, An Yue and the Demon Slave are also members of this organization?
They have come here to investigate the Sea-Swallowing Great Saint.
But if they truly plan to act, it’s likely not just them... Upon these thoughts, Ji Yuan extended his Divine Sense once more, exploring in all directions.
