Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 710: Chapter 306: Ji Yuan’s Way Out

"You’re overthinking it. If you had the Refining Void cultivation, then indeed, you could establish yourself on any continent, but Divinity Transformation is out of the question."

Hua Yaoyue shook her head.

"That’s about it. You should prepare yourself during this time."

"Yes."

Faced with the inevitable, Ji Yuan could only accept it.

"When our sect departs, how many people can we take with us?" Ji Yuan asked curiously.

"That depends on Kong Xifeng’s intentions. She definitely wants to take all the Golden Core cultivators, and as for Foundation Establishment... fear not, each Golden Core cultivator can probably take one or two disciples. But we can’t take too many; if we do, no one will be able to leave."

"Indeed."

Ji Yuan nodded silently.

As he was about to leave, Hua Yaoyue seemed to think of something and added: "When the time comes, stay with your senior brother on this Cangluo Continent. You know his temperament; if someone can save him... lend a hand."

"That’s only natural."

Ji Yuan said seriously.

Though cautious, if his senior brother was in danger, he would certainly have to save him.

"Save yourself first, but if you can’t ensure your own safety, then let it go. After all, this is his fate."

Hua Yaoyue sighed.

Ji Yuan: "..."

"Then, disciple will take his leave."

Ji Yuan originally planned to give Hua Yaoyue the Heart’s Desire Wine he had stored over the past year, along with the wine filled to the brim in the wine cellar.

But after this conversation, he decided to hold off.

Keep it for now.

When the time comes to part, he would give it all, leaving something to remember him by.

After all, this separation... optimistically, he might not see her for a hundred years.

Realistically, he might not see her for a thousand years, which was normal, so the wine... naturally, he would give what he could. He wasn’t lacking.

Ji Yuan came, and Ji Yuan left.

When he returned to Wuyou Island nearby, his previously relaxed expression was gone. He climbed to the highest point of the mountain and sat under a pine tree, lost in thought as he gazed into the distance.

There’s no feast that lasts forever.

This truth he naturally understood.

He had long known that Hua Yaoyue would leave one day.

After all, someone burdened with such great secrets like Hua Yaoyue couldn’t possibly spend their life cowering on this small Cangluo Island. He just hadn’t thought that day would come so soon.

"The Demon Dao has invaded, Corpse Transporting Mountain is gone, and now the Water Dragon Sect has to flee."

"Master and Senior Sister must leave, and as for Senior Brother... he’s not heading in the same direction as me. So from now on, it’ll just be me, solitary, fighting for survival on this Cangluo Continent."

"But this might be best. With no sect and no master, and even most friends gone, I can truly be free in my actions."

"What a pity that the Void Nether Stone is hard to find. If only I could house all the buildings within the Mountain of Mind and Heart, that would be true freedom."

"..."

The best scenario Ji Yuan could imagine was himself traveling overseas, allowing the Mountain of Mind and Heart to become as small as a dust particle, hiding within it.

Then drifting along with the tide would be true freedom.

Perhaps sensing his aura atop the mountain, Tu Yue, who had been patrolling the Spirit Field, came up to stand obediently behind him.

Ji Yuan turned to look at her and couldn’t help but smile.

"I forgot you were here with me, so I’m not alone after all."

Tu Yue naturally gave no response.

After Ji Yuan’s smile, he couldn’t help but sigh, then took out several Communication Talismans from his Storage Bag.

Du Wanyi, Li Changhe, Liu Yuan... and even Han Feiyu.

As for Li Changhe, there’s no worry there. He has his father, and he will certainly be taken away.

Next is Liu Yuan.

He’s the Great Elder’s disciple, and regardless of talent or any other aspect, he’s no slouch. Even in the entire Water Dragon Sect, he can be considered a future pillar.

Core Formation isn’t difficult for him.

So being taken to the Desolate Ancient Continent is practically a certainty.

But because of this, Ji Yuan hesitated.

He felt Liu Yuan had good talent and temperament, strength but not reckless... and if given the right opportunity, there’s potential for reaching higher realms.

But if he goes to the Desolate Ancient Continent, given its uncertain path, who knows?

Ji Yuan hesitated whether to prevent him from going to the Desolate Ancient Continent.

But if he doesn’t go, whether staying on Cangluo Continent or heading to Extreme Abyss Continent, it’s dangerous... is this path truly better than the Desolate Ancient Continent?

Ji Yuan was caught up in this dilemma.

As for Du Wanyi... this isn’t the issue here. If she doesn’t get a helping hand, she definitely can’t go to the Desolate Ancient Continent and would be left as cannon fodder in the Water Dragon Sect.

She’s the second sister, naturally needing help.

Ji Yuan couldn’t bear to watch her stay in the Water Dragon Sect to die.

So the first Communication Talisman he picked up was Du Wanyi’s.

Earlier when passing Taian Island, he saw she hadn’t returned yet, and doesn’t know if she’s back now... Ji Yuan waited for her response through the talisman for a while, but it didn’t arrive.

... Still not back?

That’s somewhat problematic.

With no other choice, Ji Yuan looked at the remaining Communication Talisman of Han Feiyu.

For this old friend, Ji Yuan didn’t intend to help him leave Cangluo Continent. The reason was simple: the relationship wasn’t strong enough.

Now he took out his Communication Talisman mainly to see if he had returned to the Water Dragon Sect and then asks about his recent situation.
