Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 986 - 372: Divine Sense Breakthrough, Half-step Nascent Soul!

The two torrents finally converged in front of Ji Yuan, forming a spear.

The head was made of a Tier Three Ant King, while the rest of the blazing fire marching ants formed the spear shaft...

The spear was nearly seven feet long, with a jet-black shaft resembling submerged ink, yet not entirely dark, with every inch of it inlaid with dark red cloud patterns.

Upon closer inspection, these patterns appeared like shattered flames, with edges faintly glowing a delicate crimson.

The spearhead was a pointed crimson, with a layer of dark gold on the edge, shrouded by a red glow, only revealing cold starlight when turned.

The tail of the spear had a pendant of the same color with fire patterns, engraved with a minimalist flame totem, echoing the patterns on the shaft. Although Ji Yuan had not yet held it, just its appearance emanated a fiery aura.

"Fire God Spear!"

The description on the panel of this spirit effect was... like a dragon emerging, unstoppable!

Ji Yuan raised his right hand and gripped it.

A warm feeling spread from his palm. Ji Yuan spun the spear casually, then slung it over his back with a casual flick.

Wherever the spearhead went, it left trails of sparks.

It fits perfectly.

Extremely fitting!

For Ji Yuan, whether it was the weight or size of the Fire God Spear, it felt just right in his grip.

Overjoyed, Ji Yuan’s heart stirred, and he summoned the Mountain of Mind and Heart from his Dantian.

The small mountain floated in the air.

The Spirit-Devouring Bee swarm also transformed into a black torrent, flying out from the bottom of this Mountain of Mind and Heart, finally landing on Ji Yuan, forming a set of black armor.

Even his face had a helmet piece.

Clad in black Spirit Devouring Armor, holding the Fire God Spear.

At that moment, Ji Yuan felt his battle spirit peak, itching to enter the Martial God Tower for a grand fight.

So... he indeed went.

Upon arriving at the familiar Martial God Tower, both the Spirit Devouring Armor on him and the Fire God Spear in hand vanished.

Ji Yuan looked up at the void above, seizing the moment before the Black Iron Armored Warrior appeared to ask, "Senior, may I request to be bestowed with a spear, as I am skilled in using it?"

"Haha, what if I give it to you? Worthless without even a round of sunlight!"

After some sneers, Ji Yuan managed to obtain a long spear made of black iron.

With a handy weapon in hand, Ji Yuan fought the Black Iron Armored Warrior before him with greater ease.

Especially when facing so many enemies, the advantage of the long spear became apparent.

A longer weapon yields more strength.

However, in the end, Ji Yuan was still defeated in the second stage by the Bronze Armored Warrior, without even seeing the third stage Silver Armored Warrior.

But the silver lining was that with this long spear, he managed to kill over ten more Bronze Armored Warriors compared to the previous attempts.

He also lasted longer within the Martial God Tower.

Upon awakening in the Martial Arts Arena, Ji Yuan realized it was time to set off for an exploration in Lindong City.

For this, he prepared for two more days, waiting until his mind returned to normal before leaving with an Escape Light.

The journey was smooth.

However, upon arriving in Lindong City, he realized it was the summer season.

In the Bone Nightmare Sect, the seasons were indiscernible, sometimes even blurring the boundaries between day and night; it was always a gray sky. Every previous visit to Lindong City had shown snowy mountain peaks.

But things were different this time.

When Ji Yuan arrived in Lindong City, there wasn’t much snow to be seen, with snow in many areas having melted... He recalled Cheng Shuang complaining about how the temperature in Lindong City seemed to have risen each year recently.

He wasn’t sure why that was.

During this summer in Lindong City, Ji Yuan sent a message to Wenjiu.

This time, it was Ji Yuan’s turn to wait for a reply.

He casually found a place to stay in Lindong City and waited for three days until receiving a reply from Wenjiu, who sounded a bit urgent, saying he was out on a mission and couldn’t get away easily.

Then he asked Ji Yuan if there was something urgent. If so, he could pass a message to Yan Lanlan, who was available to meet.

Ji Yuan replied that he wasn’t in a hurry and would wait in the city.

And so, he waited another month.

Ji Yuan took advantage of that month to search for information about "Energy Stones" and "Bright Sun Meteorite Rock" in Lindong City.

In the end, he didn’t find these items but gathered information about them.

Energy Stones were generally used by the Eight Holy Lands to provide energy for the Sect Protection Arrays. Not even Core Formation Cultivators, and sometimes not even Nascent Soul Cultivators, could easily find them.

Upon learning this, Ji Yuan felt a twinge of despair.

He believed that obtaining Energy Stones wasn’t something he should handle and should instead be left to Bone Nightmare Old Demon.

As for the Bright Sun Meteorite Rock, it was relatively easier to find, usually used by Nascent Soul Cultivators to forge Lifebound Magical Treasures or used by the Eight Holy Lands to craft various treasures.

He even found out about its origin.

There were only two places on the Jiyuan Continent where it could be found.

One was in the Black and White Divine Mountain, where the Black and White Divine Hall was located, at the highest point closest to the sun, where a vein of Bright Sun Meteorite Rock was rumored to be.

There were also rumors that Heavenly Craftsmen Valley had a vein of Bright Sun Meteorite Rock, although the truth of that was unclear.

However, the Heavenly Craftsmen Valley did produce a lot of Bright Sun Meteorite Rock, leading to such speculation.

...

Several days later.
