Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1123: Chapter 400: Supreme Treasure—Dao Heart Seed Demon [Monthly Pass Requested]

"So the claim that the Ghost Envoy controls the core region is still a lie."

Ji Yuan stepped back half a step, but several Canglan Swords immediately flew forward, swiftly surrounding the candle flame, and in an instant, a net of Purple Sky Divine Thunder formed around it.

Although the divine thunder would not harm the candle flame for now, if Nightmare True Monarch dared to make any move.

Ji Yuan’s Purple Sky Divine Thunder could send him to his grave in an instant!

"It’s true, yet also false. It’s just that I can perceive it because of my uniqueness."

Nightmare True Monarch sighed deeply.

"Kid, now I truly am about to die, and it turns out I’m dying because of that rebellious disciple Gu Yan... even Qiu Qianhai has fallen into his hands, in the end..."

"Heh, as an old fellow about to die, I just wanted to talk, but I could only come to you."

"...Actually, you didn’t have to come to me."

Ji Yuan tilted slightly to the side, and two more Canglan Swords flew out from his Dantian, hovering by his side, one on the left, the other on the right.

Nightmare True Monarch seemed not to hear the dismissive comment as he continued speaking to himself:

"Even though I’m dying this time, I’ve left a deadly hidden injury within Bone Nightmare’s body. From now on, five inches below his heart will be his weak point. If you get the chance to fight him, strike at his weak point fiercely, he won’t be able to defend it."

"Moreover, your divine thunder is inherently the nemesis of all Demon Dao."

Though it seemed Nightmare True Monarch was leaving behind final instructions.

Ji Yuan was unmoved, "There’s no need to say these words, senior. If I ever have the chance to defeat Bone Nightmare Old Demon, I’ll surely send him down to meet you."

"Heh heh."

Nightmare True Monarch chuckled bitterly, "Unexpectedly, the person who speaks of avenging me turns out to be you, whom I once considered killing."

"No, I’m not avenging you; I’m avenging myself."

Ji Yuan shook his head, refusing to accept the sentiment.

"On Qiu Qianhai’s side, all restrictions were undone by Gu Yan... I must admit he truly is a genius. But he’ll definitely set new restrictions on Qiu Qianhai to refine his body as a vessel for his Second Nascent Soul."

Nightmare True Monarch continued, "So if you want to save Qiu Qianhai, you’ll have to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage quickly, or else you’ll miss any chance if it’s too late."

"Hmm."

Ji Yuan had thought of this, but currently had no means to solve it.

He couldn’t even find out where Qiu Qianhai was.

However, as Nightmare True Monarch continued to speak, the glow from the candle dimmed even further.

It was as if he was truly reaching the end, nearing his final burnout.

"Kid, did you really obtain the treasure in the Blood Pool?" Nightmare True Monarch asked with a hint of eagerness and curiosity in his voice.

"I did."

Everyone had seen it, so Ji Yuan had nothing to hide. But just as Nightmare True Monarch was about to continue questioning, he voluntarily said, "But it was taken by the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake."

The mention of Mansion Master of Xuan Snake stunned him.

After a brief silence, he then asked, "Truly?"

"Indeed, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator chased after me; it’s already a stroke of luck that I managed to escape with my life, let alone protect any treasure."

Ji Yuan said with a wry smile.

The candle flickered and Nightmare True Monarch’s voice came again.

"That’s reasonable, but I still feel... the treasure is still with you. You’re the kind of person who wouldn’t act without a foolproof plan."

"Let senior think whatever you wish." Ji Yuan shook his head, looking indifferent.

"What exactly is the treasure in the Blood Pool?"

This was the question Nightmare True Monarch had been wanting to ask.

Ji Yuan pondered for a moment.

Facing Nightmare True Monarch, he chose to speak the truth.

"It’s an immortality treasure, the Immortality Spring. A sip extends life by twenty years; there were three sips in total, all taken by the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake."

"Immortality Spring? A sip extends life by twenty years..."

Nightmare True Monarch’s voice carried a hint of doubt.

Without a doubt, this immortality treasure could indeed be considered a supreme treasure, having been nurtured by the Blood Pool.

But... why does it feel somewhat off?

Years ago, the Ghost Envoy mentioned that the treasure nurtured by the Blood Pool would allow dominance over Nascent Soul, and if used well, reigning over the whole Jiyuan Continent would not be difficult.

But the result?

It turned out to be an immortality treasure?

Just thirty years of extended life, good as it is, still falls far short of dominating Nascent Soul, doesn’t it?

With a bit of deliberation, Nightmare True Monarch was certain, the treasure was surely still with Ji Yuan!

"Heh heh."

Having realized this truth, Nightmare True Monarch no longer pursued the matter. Since Ji Yuan hadn’t admitted, asking further was futile, so he instead said:

"Kid, I left some inheritance on Qiankun Island in Clear Tranquil Sea. My life’s magic techniques are all on that island, including some from the Yin Ghost Sect. If you ever get the chance to go there in the future, take it, lest..."

Nightmare True Monarch said, followed by a series of intense coughs.

Each cough made the candlelight tremble violently.

Originally dim, the candlelight now appeared even dimmer.

"Lest, let it fall into the hands of others."

When Nightmare True Monarch finished these words, the candlelight was almost at its limit of dimness.

At this moment, Ji Yuan truly felt what it meant to be at one’s last gasp.

It was an experience visible to the naked eye.

"Alright, if fate allows, I will certainly go there." Ji Yuan nodded, without any further thanks.

With things having reached this point, words were meaningless.

"Sigh, after all, there’s still some reluctance to leave this mortal world."
