Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 990 - 373: Hua Yaoyue Shields the Path Once More (Part 1)

It’s just that the final result... was not satisfactory.

Otherwise, the Three Immortal Islands would have long aspired to join the Eight Holy Lands.

The three of them not only failed to form their Nascent Souls together, but they also failed their breakthroughs one after another, with one nearly losing their life.

Over time, the Three Immortal Islands faded from the public’s view.

Ji Yuan only found out about the origins of the Three Immortal Islands after going through many ancient records.

According to normal development, even if the three peak Core Formation cultivators who attempted breakthroughs back then have not yet perished, they are likely nearing their end days.

"Could it be that one of these female cultivators succeeded in forming their Nascent Soul and happened to owe a favor to my master?"

Otherwise, Ji Yuan couldn’t think of any other possibility.

If they were just at the peak of Core Formation, Ji Yuan felt they wouldn’t catch Hua Yaoyue’s eye at all.

"No matter what, it’s best to go take a look first."

Immediately, Ji Yuan packed his things and didn’t return to the Bone Nightmare Sect but headed straight for the teleportation port in Lindong City.

Upon inquiry, he learned that the teleportation array to Southern Border City had just been activated yesterday, and to go there, he would have to wait at least three more months.

However, soon a person provided an alternative method: first teleport to Black and White City, and then from there teleport to Southern Border City, which would only take about a month.

Ji Yuan was fine with this arrangement. After paying 5,000 mid-grade Spirit Stones, he arrived in Black and White City, the most famous city in the world.

But this time, he was just passing through and had no time to experience the grandeur of Black and White City.

A month later.

Inside the teleportation port in Southern Border City, as the light of the teleportation array flickered, a man dressed in green at the early-stage Core Formation looked around curiously.

Just upon arriving in Southern Border City, Ji Yuan experienced a familiar sweltering heat.

Previously, while in Cangluo Continent, Ji Yuan had felt this sensation in South Sea City.

He didn’t expect Southern Border City to have a similar climate.

"Welcome to Southern Border City."

A cultivator from the Black and White Divine Hall at the early-stage Core Formation mechanically welcomed everyone from a high platform.

Ji Yuan slightly clasped his hands in salute, transformed into escape light, and flew away from the place.

Upon leaving the teleportation port, his view finally changed.

No longer was it the gray sky, but instead an endless azure above, without a single cloud in sight.

Unlike Lindong City, Southern Border City seemed to be built amidst dense forests. From above, Ji Yuan saw numerous tall trees.

Some shops were even directly built atop trees over a hundred meters tall, whereas others were within tree holes.

To Ji Yuan, this was quite novel.

As for the passing cultivators, whether male or female, they were dressed quite lightly.

A person like Ji Yuan, dressed in a long green robe, stood out in their eyes... clearly an outsider.

Thus, Ji Yuan formed a spell; his green robe turned into a loose open-chest style, immediately looking much more breathable.

"Never mind, I can stroll around when I come back. For now, traveling is the priority. I need to visit the Three Immortal Islands first, and if I can’t manage, I’ll think of another plan."

With this thought, Ji Yuan turned around in mid-air, flying straight south.

Nearly ten days passed this way.

When Ji Yuan reached a desolate area, he released Hundred Insects Old Immortal at the early-stage Core Formation from the Chaotic Burial Mound, letting him use escape light to continue the journey.

Ji Yuan himself entered the Mountain of Mind and Heart, which then transformed into dust and was hidden in the sleeve of Hundred Insects Old Immortal.

This way, he could cultivate peacefully inside his Lifebound Magical Treasure.

And he didn’t need to worry about being too slow.

With Hundred Insects Old Immortal’s early-stage Core Formation cultivation, even after turning into a corpse puppet and slowing down a bit, he was still faster than ordinary flying spiritual artifacts.

No years pass inside the cave.

Ji Yuan cultivated like this, occasionally emerging to scout the path and check directions, leaving all other tasks to Hundred Insects Old Immortal.

This went on for nearly five months, during which he inferred from the surrounding islands that he had reached near the Three Immortal Islands.

So he retracted Hundred Insects Old Immortal and set off on his own again.

A few days later.

In Ji Yuan’s view, within the depths of the Endless Sea, an island appeared as vast as Ice and Fire Island.

But this was nothing; the truly large islands were Soul Refining Island and Cloud Cliff Island, both of which reportedly felt no different from the mainland to cultivators.

"Three Immortal Islands..."

Ji Yuan pondered whether to use his Divine Sense to scout the area but eventually decided against it.

There’s a high probability that there’s a Nascent Soul Monster on the island. His Divine Sense, though at half-step Nascent Soul, could rival some weaker early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

So using it to scout would be too arrogant.

After some thought, Ji Yuan chose to proceed forward using escape light.

After half an incense stick’s worth of time, he stopped outside the Three Immortal Islands, still clothed in his green robe, and politely cupped his hands towards the island, then softly said:

"Disciple of Hua Yaoyue, seeking an audience with the senior."

The Three Immortal Islands are rarely visited by people, so Ji Yuan’s presence with Core Formation cultivation must have long drawn the attention of the Nascent Soul cultivator behind the scenes.

If not, no matter; he directly stated his master’s real name, so that senior should know his identity, right?

After speaking, Ji Yuan stood silently, waiting.
