Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 635: Chapter 281: One Person Suppresses the Demon God Continent!

You can sense it without Divine Sense.

Left behind by Dong Qian?

Ji Yuan took a few steps forward to the stone table, picked up the Memory Pearl, and injected a thread of Spiritual Qi into it.

But the imagined scene didn’t appear; instead, in the void before him, a few lines of cloud-like words slowly manifested.

"The jade branch once tilted in the chamber of pearls, how could the creeping grass cling to the rosy mists?"

"Futile to hear frogs in the well croak on the snail’s horn, who dares step onto the Phoenix’s splendor along the cloud path?"

"Ink stains on mosquito heads fill the poetic pen, market air taints the flower pin on the garment."

"The bright pearl ought to be returned to the merfolk chest, let not its clear radiance be sullied by dust and sand!"

Ji Yuan smiled as he read the poem being born in the void.

Though he wasn’t excessively well-read, he could still understand the meaning embedded within these lines.

Besides, the poem itself bore an immensely clear implication.

Simply put, it spoke of Dong Qian’s noble Celestial Fox Race lineage and questioned how someone as insignificant as himself from Cangluo Continent could ever be worthy of Dong Qian.

It praised Dong Qian using words like jade branches, cloud path, bright pearl, but described himself with creeping grass, well frogs, and dust sand.

Ji Yuan just wanted to say one thing upon hearing it: Really?

If he hadn’t seen this poem before, he might have considered the Celestial Fox Race as immensely noble.

But now?

Just this.

Ji Yuan wiped away the words hanging in the void without feeling the slightest wave in his heart.

Look down on me?

I, Ji Yuan, don’t need you to look up to me. With the building panel at my disposal, even if my qualifications are limited by the pseudo Spirit Root... I still have the Spirit Field, a construction to assist me in breaking through.

So, what’s there to fear?

Given enough time, eventually, I will step onto the Monster God continent, and then personally ask this member of the Celestial Fox Race who left these words...

Hmm... just ask her.

"Here I stand before you, how much do you think I resemble the past?"

Having dispelled the words, Ji Yuan glanced at the Memory Pearl in his hand. After a slight hesitation, he chose to tuck it away instead of crushing it.

Keep it, and once he’s up on the Monster God continent, he’ll bring out this Memory Pearl again.

To prevent the other party from denying it then.

After securing it, Ji Yuan released his Divine Sense to scan the entire Hu Yue Island once again but didn’t discover any other information. It’s expected, considering that unknown accomplished members of the Celestial Fox Race had already visited, surely leaving nothing behind.

Perhaps the whole Wuyou Island has been inspected...

At that thought, Ji Yuan hurriedly summoned the Flying Boat to return to Wuyou Island.

Even before he landed, he was already releasing his Divine Sense to inspect the entire island.

When Dong Qian returned, Ji Yuan was at the Alchemy Square. Although he had activated some constructions there, most of the effects were activated on Wuyou Island.

There might have been some discoveries.

The first thing Ji Yuan checked was naturally his Cave Mansion; everything was as usual. Then he examined the constructions providing low guarantees.

The Fish Pond showed no changes; Tuesday still curled in a corner, like a "Flood Dragon Bun," silently cultivating.

The Spirit Pigs in the Pigsty were all doing well, roaming and rooting around stubbornly, which meant Yin Tongzi, the butcher, would soon be coming to slaughter pigs again.

The Chicken Cage was normal too.

The Chaotic Burial Mound on the other side of the island showed no issues, and Ji Yuan even summoned Celestial Silkworm Zhenren to check.

As for the Beehive, it was also fine; though several months had passed, no Tier Three Bee King had emerged yet, and the day of upgrade seemed far away.

Ji Yuan finally arrived at the Spirit Vein deep beneath.

Everything here remained unchanged.

The fallen Spirit Stones accumulating remained to be collected by Tu Yue daily, leaving only those embedded in the stone walls, which hadn’t fallen.

That Celestial Fox Race individual didn’t notice?

Ji Yuan found it unlikely. Since it followed Dong Qian to the Water Dragon Sect and saw the Jade Scroll Dong Qian left him, it must have looked at Wuyou Island.

If it did look, it surely saw these... thus, most likely it considered these unimpressive.

After all, these treasures were valuable only to a humble Foundation Establishment Cultivator like him.

From the perspective of a Nascent Soul Cultivator or the Celestial Fox Race from Monster God continent, these items were hardly noteworthy.

Or perhaps, the other party didn’t even think to look at the island and instead left with Dong Qian; that possibility isn’t ruled out.

In any case, nothing seemed amiss, which put Ji Yuan at ease.

Then he ascended to the highest point of Wuyou Island, gazing toward the distant Hu Yue Island... Since Dong Qian had departed from Cangluo Continent, soon her Soul Lamp in the Ancestral Hall would extinguish, and then the sect would reclaim the island.

Reclaiming, meaning submerging it into the water.

Like creating the continent then.

Dust to dust, soil to soil.

Ji Yuan didn’t plan to occupy it; were it not for the impending righteous and demonic battle, he might have connected the two islands, yielding a larger territory to raise pigs.

But now... With the sect nearing its demise, he couldn’t be bothered to fuss.

He immediately took out Hua Yaoyue’s Communication Talisman, asking whether his mentor remained in the sect.

"I’m here, you’re back? If there’s anything, come quickly; I’m going out for something tomorrow."

Hua Yaoyue soon replied.

His mentor was going out?

Ji Yuan was somewhat surprised, given Hua Yaoyue had already formed a Nascent Soul, few affairs in Cangluo Continent could possibly concern her.
