Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1282: Chapter 434: Nascent Soul Assembly and Dao Heart Demon Seed [Monthly Pass Request]

As the master of demon seeds, Ji Yuan can choose to "blossom."

Once chosen, the demon seed quickly devours the opponent’s cultivation, divine soul, and finally blossoms and bears fruit, forming a "fruit."

And Ji Yuan, as the master of the demon seed, can absorb this "fruit," thereby enhancing his cultivation and divine soul... Ji Yuan is somewhat apprehensive and doesn’t dare to use it much.

But whether used or not, the effect is still there.

Incredibly powerful.

"Come out!"

With a thought, Ji Yuan moved, and the demon seed flew out from the depths of his mind, hovering in front of him.

Perceiving the soul-stirring aura emanating from the seed, Ji Yuan quickly restrained his mind.

However, at this moment, he seemed to feel something.

It’s like a long-lost caution returned to his body.

"This..."

Ji Yuan’s blurry thoughts instantly became clear!

"I wonder why ever since entering Rashamon Sea, especially after acquiring this Dao Heart Demon Seed, my courage suddenly grew, especially in the core area interacting with those Nascent Soul monsters, and plotting to seize the Star-Stepping Wheel... it’s like I became a different person."

"Clearly, as a Core Formation cultivator, I recklessly tangled with a group of Nascent Soul monsters."

"Later, when dealing with Mei Manor on the Extreme East Sea, it was the same... Bold, greedy, almost like I became someone else."

"So all this was influenced by this Dao Heart Demon Seed... and this is after I’ve initially refined it, it can still silently affect me."

"..."

Understanding this, Ji Yuan even felt a chill down his back.

"Could it be that the reason I managed to enter and exit Rashamon Sea, besides having some skill, is largely because... of good luck?"

After comprehending this point, Ji Yuan looked at the demon seed with eyes full of fear and seriousness.

"This thing is truly sinister, even affecting me, the master of demon seeds."

In contemplation, Ji Yuan raised his right hand, forming several hand seal spells, while threads of Nascent Soul mana rose from his hand.

Water-blue light gradually wrapped around the demon seed.

"Previously, my mana strength was insufficient, only accounting for minor refining, and this Dao Heart Demon Seed itself is a supreme treasure that Nascent Soul cultivators can use. Now that I’ve entered the Nascent Soul stage, it shouldn’t be difficult to refine it completely."

As Ji Yuan contemplated, the mana surrounding the seed continued to penetrate, consuming and refining it.

The process was slow.

But compared to before, it truly felt like unraveling a cocoon.

"There’s hope!"

Understanding this, Ji Yuan increased the output of his mana.

As refining deepened, Ji Yuan clearly felt a slight resistance coming from inside the seed.

"This thing really is peculiar!"

Detecting this resistance, Ji Yuan didn’t hesitate, immediately increasing the mana output.

Initially, the resistance persisted, but gradually weakened.

Seeming poised to vanish.

But just as Ji Yuan thought it was only this, a sudden black glow shot out from inside the seed like a long arrow, piercing straight into Ji Yuan’s sea of consciousness.

"Hmm?!"

After the black glow entered his consciousness, it rushed towards Ji Yuan’s divine soul.

But at that moment, outside his divine soul, the Soul Suppressing Bell trembled slightly.

A mysterious wave spread out as his late-stage Nascent Soul divine soul radiated pressure.

In just an instant, the black glow was completely crushed by his divine soul’s might.

Moreover, he used his divine soul power to condense a Godslaying Spear, directly killing from the sea of consciousness, piercing into the demon seed before him.

"Still trying to control me?!"

"Courting death!"

At this moment, Ji Yuan harbored the intent to completely destroy the demon seed.

Otherwise, letting a self-aware demon seed, which even tried to replace him, exist within him... would be no different from the Purple Qi inside the Purple Gold Gourd previously?!

"Sss—"

The Godslaying Spear pierced into the demon seed, and Ji Yuan seemed to hear a sound like tearing apart paper.

Immediately, he saw a wisp of blood-red smoke rise above the demon seed, but it quickly dissipated into the air.

The demon seed that was struggling to resist refining suddenly became quiet.

Except for a few demonic qi swirling on its surface, everything else had returned to normal.

And with the resistance gone, Ji Yuan quickly refined the Dao Heart Demon Seed.

After a while.

With a beckon of his hand, the demon seed landed in his palm, slowly rotating as the demonic qi did not dissipate.

But compared to before, now the seed exuded an extremely prominent sense of "belonging."

Ji Yuan felt truly that the demon seed belonged to him, no longer the previous situation where it influenced him.

"Where should this demon seed be placed then?"

"Prior to this, it was placed in the depths of my mind because it chose to be there. Now, it seems it had already intended to affect my mind. Although I’ve since subdued it, caution is still necessary, so placing it in the depths of my mind is dangerous."

After brief contemplation, Ji Yuan made a decision.

Since the depths of the mind won’t do, place it in the sea of consciousness, alongside the Soul Suppressing Bell, and should it show any signs of disturbance, suppress it immediately.

Resolutely, Ji Yuan tossed the demon seed upward, transforming it into a black glow that flew into his forehead, finally hovering near the Soul Suppressing Bell.

With a thought.

The demon seed emitted a sliver of invisible "demonic qi," flying from Ji Yuan’s brow and landing before him.

"As long as this demonic qi is embedded into the other’s body, it can plant a demon seed within them. This process, is called... demon seeding!"

Unfortunately, after pondering, Ji Yuan didn’t find a suitable target for "demon seeding" around him.

"With a Nascent Soul cultivator, you’d surely have to subdue them first to seed the demon... To succeed silently, it needs to be a Core Formation cultivator."

Without a suitable target, Ji Yuan temporarily suppressed his thoughts, waiting for someone to cross his path to try it later.

"Then next, I must continue comprehending the Sword Manual, at least thoroughly understand the Thousand Xuan Sword Domain before moving on."

"And most importantly... upgrading buildings!"

Within the Scripture Pavilion, while comprehending cultivation techniques, Ji Yuan also diverted a strand of his mind to summon the panel.

Looking at the various buildings, he continuously selected to find the simplest one with the most promising upgrade prospects at present.

The Grotto Heaven won’t do, requiring 5 Tier Four Demon Pills, too difficult a task, I currently have only 3 total.

Spirit Veins as the core of all output, and the most critical strategic resource... worthy of a battle.

The only challenge lies in needing 1 top-grade Spirit Stone!
