Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 734 - 313: Finally Arriving at Jiyuan Continent

In response to these rather simple words, Ji Yuan found it difficult to reply. Then, he decided it was fine not to respond. "We are not privy to the situation over there, and Second Sister, if you were to go, there would be nothing I could do to assist you. Therefore, you must be mentally prepared for this." "Fourth Brother, do not fret." Du Wanyi stood, her hands clasped behind her back, her gaze slightly narrowed as she looked out the door. "The current Cangluo Continent no longer holds any interest for me. Perhaps the Jiyuan Continent will be different? It's rare for me to feel such renewed determination, Fourth Brother, so please do not discourage me." "Alright!" Given that matters had reached this point, Ji Yuan could naturally no longer refuse. He turned to inquire, "Second Sister, when do you intend to depart?" "When would it be convenient for you?" Du Wanyi responded with a question. "Anytime is fine for me." Without a sect to bind him, Ji Yuan now felt akin to a wild horse, its reins unbound, ready to roam anywhere. "Then let us depart as soon as possible. I am already eager to witness the landscape of the Jiyuan Continent." Du Wanyi expressed with a smile. "Very well. Then, Second Sister, you should prepare your belongings, and we will set out another day." "Okay." Du Wanyi readily agreed and immediately commenced preparations. In truth, there wasn't much to pack. After all, she was a cultivator. However, most of what was stored here consisted of ordinary items. The sole item she was hesitant to leave behind was the maid, Xiao He, who had been her companion for many months. Especially since Xiao He possessed a naturally good disposition, she couldn't help but weep upon learning of Du Wanyi's impending departure. Consequently, Du Wanyi bestowed upon her several simple talismans, useful for ordinary individuals, and also a considerable quantity of elixirs. By the time she consumed these elixirs, she would possess a certain level of proficiency among common folk, sufficient for self-protection. Regarding finances, Du Wanyi bequeathed all the money within the household to her. As long as she exercised prudence, this sum would sustain her for a lifetime. Such actions were indeed remarkably generous. Once all preparations were complete, Ji Yuan accompanied Du Wanyi, and they embarked on their journey. However, not long after setting out, Ji Yuan recalled an oversight and briefly returned, a detour that took mere breaths of time, after which the pair resumed their travel. It would still require approximately a month's journey to reach the eastern sea from their current location. Thus, Ji Yuan seized this opportunity to entrust the sea map to Du Wanyi, urging her to commit it to memory. Subsequently, Ji Yuan also provided her with numerous protective artifacts. He generously imparted all his cultivation techniques and magical skills for the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages to Du Wanyi. Only the magical techniques pertaining to the Nascent Soul Stage were withheld. As for the remaining Spirit Stones, Ji Yuan was even more magnanimous. Considering Du Wanyi would be paving the way to the Jiyuan Continent, it would be inappropriate for her to arrive penniless. Therefore, Ji Yuan produced 10,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones at once; while this appeared substantial, it represented merely three months' output from the Spirit Vein. With these Spirit Stones in her possession, it seemed Du Wanyi would encounter fewer difficulties upon her arrival. After all, Spirit Stones are a universally circulating currency across all known continents. His outpouring of generosity genuinely astonished Du Wanyi, who initially demurred, but Ji Yuan ultimately persuaded her to accept. A month later. After vanquishing several Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators who obstructed their path, Ji Yuan finally succeeded in reaching the sea. Upon arriving at sea, he began to meticulously observe his surroundings, searching for suitable islands upon which to take refuge. Simultaneously, he continuously adjusted his course based on celestial positioning. Drawing upon past experience, the passage connecting the two continents lay directly towards the location of Black Dragon Island. To ensure absolute accuracy, Ji Yuan first located Black Dragon Island. In contrast to the Black Dragon Island he had previously encountered, this time, Black Dragon Island was in an even greater state of disarray. The original Black Dragon Island, affiliated with the Water Dragon Sect, was no more. It was now occupied by a band of demon cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage, with the most powerful among them being a Fake Pill Cultivator. They detected the presence of Ji Yuan and Du Wanyi and contemplated approaching them. However, they were instantly subdued by the sheer might of Ji Yuan's mid-stage Golden Core Divine Sense. To maintain an added layer of security, Ji Yuan even maneuvered his vessel a considerable distance south of Black Dragon Island before proceeding eastward. This strategic move would lead any pursuing demon cultivators, should they detect his trail, to believe he was heading south. Once he ventured east from the vicinity of Black Dragon Island, cultivators became exceedingly scarce. This was primarily because the sole valuable assets in the oceanic expanse were the Sea Beasts. However, at present, the demon cultivators had not yet depleted all the resources on the Cangluo Continent, let alone ventured out to exploit the resources found overseas.

Only the presences of righteous cultivators, concealing themselves in this overseas territory, were detected.

"Fourth Brother, when will you arrive?"

Du Wanyi couldn't help but inquire.

"Hmm... It could be as soon as a few months, or as late as a year."

Ji Yuan had already contemplated this matter for a considerable time.

A duration of one year, alongside approximately one hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators, seemed like a reasonable estimate.

Furthermore, Ji Yuan was contemplating the possibility of acquiring more cadavers.

The enhancement of Chaotic Burial Mound to Level 3 necessitates one hundred Foundation Establishment corpses; therefore, what would be required for Level 4?

Undoubtedly, the quantity would not be trivial.

In addition, a significant number of Core Formation Realm cadavers would certainly be indispensable. If procuring them on the Jiyuan Continent proved challenging, it would be imperative to gather more around this Cangluo Continent.

"Very well, I shall await your arrival there."

Their established methods of communication had been arranged long ago, eliminating any concern of losing contact after relocating to the Jiyuan Continent.

After a few additional days, Ji Yuan arrived at the very spot the ancient sea demon had guided him to previously, having already verified with his Divine Sense that no other cultivators were present in the vicinity.

Testing the gateway was a straightforward endeavor.

With a subtle flick of his wrist, Ji Yuan propelled dozens of water droplets forward; the majority vanished without leaving a trace, while only those in close proximity remained intact, drifting towards the distant horizon.
