Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 991 - 373: Hua Yaoyue Protects the Dao Again (Part 1)

After a few breaths of time passed without a response, he contemplated cupping his hands once more to call out.

But just as he raised his hands again, a somewhat familiar voice echoed in the sky above his mind sea.

"A disciple of Hua Yaoyue? How do I vaguely remember you not looking like this?"

Ji Yuan was instantly stunned on the spot.

Because the voice sounded extremely familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

But when he tried to recall, he couldn’t remember.

So, for a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

What he could be sure of was that the Nascent Soul cultivator on this Three Immortal Islands was not one of those three female cultivators but someone else entirely.

As he was thinking, the space in front of him slightly fluctuated, and amid a few scattered droplets of water, a figure had already appeared before him.

It was an old man dressed in a gray robe, his hair and beard both white, slightly hunched, with his hands clasped behind his back, a gentle smile on his face.

He gave Ji Yuan the feeling of being a neighborly old grandfather.

Yet, looking at his visage, Ji Yuan became even more puzzled.

For Ji Yuan racked his brains, almost recalling everyone he had met, yet he still couldn’t recognize who this person was.

Ji Yuan examined him, and he too was examining Ji Yuan.

"Are you really her closed-door disciple?"

The elder looked Ji Yuan up and down, even using his divine sense to thoroughly inspect him several times, yet still couldn’t discern who he was.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan naturally reacted.

He formed a hand sign and removed the Transformation Talisman on his body, accompanied by a flash of white light, immediately revealing his original form and appearance.

Upon seeing this, the elder suddenly realized.

Ji Yuan cupped his hands slightly and curiously asked, "Have you met me before, senior?"

"I have."

The elder nodded, turning his back while sending a message, "Water Dragon Sect, you once asked me to eat my own disciples and grandchildren."

Originally already a bit dazed, Ji Yuan was completely stunned.

"You... You... It’s actually you?!"

Ji Yuan had wanted to say it was you, the old turtle, but the words were on the tip of his tongue before he realized.

But after realizing, Ji Yuan felt utterly shocked within.

Because the person before him... was not human at all!

But was instead a real Transformed Demon!

This indicated he was at least mid-tier four in level, corresponding among the Human Race to a mid-stage Nascent Soul in cultivation!

When Ji Yuan first met him, he was still hiding beneath the Water Dragon Sect, keeping a low profile, not daring to show himself.

But now... Ji Yuan never thought he would meet him again on the Jiyuan Continent.

And he was meeting his transformed form.

"Senior..."

Instinctively, Ji Yuan recalled matters related to the Water Dragon Sect and also thought of Hua Yaoyue, feeling somewhat moved.

"This is not the place to talk,. Follow me."

After saying this, the elder led Ji Yuan with a single step forward.

By the time he realized it, he found himself already inside an underwater palace.

An array isolated the interior from the outside, looking up you could see the swimming fish, and everything around was no ordinary thing.

Ji Yuan even had a sense of being in an underwater Dragon Palace.

"My true name is Long Zhen, you may just call me Senior Long."

The elder walked ahead, speaking slowly.

Ji Yuan quickly cupped his hands, "This junior greets Junior Martial Uncle Long."

Previously, not knowing who Hua Yaoyue’s backup was, Ji Yuan was prepared to act courteously.

But now...

Having found out who the backup was and realizing their close relationship made Ji Yuan think that if he didn’t cling to this powerful support, he would indeed be foolish.

After all, opportunities are for those prepared.

Now that he was prepared, the opportunity lay right before him, so...

"You, you."

Long Ba couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing the address.

Never would he have thought that the cool and aloof Hua Yaoyue would teach such a disciple.

And a closed-door disciple at that.

However, upon further contemplation, he sighed inwardly... Such a temperament is good, only with this kind of temperament can one live long, if only I had this temperament, I wouldn’t have waited until now for transformation?

"How is the Water Dragon Sect doing now?"

After sitting down, Long Ba lifted his hand and served Ji Yuan tea, "Sit and speak, there’s no need to be so reserved here."

"Yes."

Ji Yuan held the tea with both hands and sat down nearby.

Recalling that when Junior Martial Uncle Long Ba left, the Water Dragon Sect hadn’t encountered any trouble, so not knowing the internal situation was understandable.

He pondered a bit, organizing his words slightly.

Then he recounted everything he knew about the Water Dragon Sect and the Shang Dong’s Six Immortal Sects.

Long Ba didn’t interrupt, listening attentively.

After Ji Yuan finished speaking, the first thing Long Ba said was:

"The Joy Palace has moved entirely to Jiyuan Continent and is now incorporated into Cloud Cliff Temple."

"What?!"

Ji Yuan couldn’t help but exclaim upon hearing this, feeling like it was a shocking revelation.

"Joy Palace... it moved to Jiyuan Continent? And merged into Cloud Cliff Temple?"

When Joy Palace left Cangluo, Ji Yuan had not yet departed.

At that time, he had been wondering where Joy Palace had relocated: to a remote island overseas or had gone to Desolate Ancient Continent with Water Dragon Sect?

Admittedly, he had considered Jiyuan Continent but thought this probability was quite low.

Because the two continents had a wind curtain isolating everything, and without the Teleportation Array open, crossing through unauthorized channels like Ji Yuan was a matter of life and death, not to mention relocating an entire sect.

"Indeed."

Long Ba nodded, his eyes reflecting gravity.

"However, very few know about this, I reckon only the Black and White Divine Hall might know some details, the other Holy Lands... shouldn’t know."
