Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 724: Chapter 310: Millennium Core Formation

After all, the physical body has advanced ahead of mana.

But this is exactly what Ji Yuan intended. With a body that possesses the strength of the Core Formation Realm, it can serve as his trump card. If used well, even when facing a mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator, it might still have the power to kill.

Currently, Ji Yuan is controlling the sky with his physical body, leaping back and forth in the Thunder Shock Marsh for quite a while.

Finally, he lands back on the ground, enjoying the baptism of lightning while also experiencing his own strength.

"The speed of my physical body controlling the sky is indeed far inferior to the Golden Core Escape Light. This is indisputable, after all, the escape light is propelled by mana... It’s like running; how could running beat burning oil? But in close-range flickering and maneuvering, my Muscle Refining Body Cultivator can surpass a Golden Core Cultivator by far."

"Thus, this flaw of mine being slower than a Golden Core Escape Light can be perfectly used as a disguise. When I encounter a Golden Core Cultivator, I can pretend to flee. Then, when they catch up, I explode suddenly and perform a close-range burst kill."

Having realized this, Ji Yuan no longer sees this flaw as a flaw.

As for the physique, there’s nothing more to be said.

What does it mean for a body cultivator to rival Core Formation?

Simply put, only the Magic Treasures and Techniques of a Core Formation Cultivator can break my defense. As for the arts of normal Foundation Establishment Cultivators...

"On top of my head, it might display a ’-1’, that would already be considered a big deal for you."

Although Ji Yuan now wishes to test it against a Core Formation Cultivator, he is still able to remain calm.

"The breakthrough in body cultivation has been achieved for now. To make another breakthrough will not be so simple. Moreover, without releasing the ’Pigsty’, obtaining the Profound Sun Blood Amber and Blazing Sun Bones, any further breakthrough would be out of the question."

"It’s just a pity that there aren’t enough Void Nether Stones, and thus, I cannot accommodate more structures."

"So, I must venture overseas first to find a deserted island and see if I can release these structures; otherwise, guarding this minimal income without receiving anything tangible really feels like suffering!"

Upon this thought, Ji Yuan releases the Mountain of Mind and Heart, his figure disappearing into it.

The Magical Treasure falls like dust onto the ground, allowing the lightning to strike it freely.

Once inside the Mountain of Mind and Heart, Ji Yuan’s first reaction is to see whether the lightning would harm his Lifebound Magical Treasure. After waiting for a moment and seeing no damage, he confidently steps into the Cave Mansion.

Tu Yue approaches immediately.

Ji Yuan takes a piece of white paper from her hand, which records the time he spent in this isolation training.

As for how Tu Yue keeps track of time inside his Lifebound Magical Treasure, that’s simple: Ji Yuan instructed her to record each collection of a Spirit Stone.

...so to say, the time I spent in isolation training within the Thunder Shock Marsh amounted to nearly 8 months.

months.

Ji Yuan instinctively thinks about where his master and others have gone by now.

Previously, she mentioned that with the speed of the Water Dragon Sect’s building ship Flying Boat, it would take at least three years at sea to successfully reach the Desolate Ancient Continent.

And that’s assuming no troubles arise along the way.

"I wonder if they’ll miss me."

Ji Yuan shakes his head, dismissing such thoughts.

Then, Ji Yuan takes the Storage Bag containing Spirit Stones from Tu Yue’s hand, transfers its content under his name, and returns the empty Storage Bag to her, asking her to prepare some food.

Afterward, Ji Yuan sits inside the Cave Mansion, contemplating his next plans.

It’s essential to go to the Jiyuan Continent soon. Since retreat is possible, there’s no need to waste much more time on the Cangluo Continent.

However, before leaving, Ji Yuan plans to prepare materials for upgrading the Chaotic Burial Mound.

Once he refines the Yin Corpse Demon Fire, he should have more means to protect himself when he gets to the Jiyuan Continent.

After all, the land there is vast, much larger than the Cangluo Continent, and there are plenty of cultivators. Having an additional layer of protection makes it less likely to be killed by others.

Besides, once on the Jiyuan Continent, the chance to collect bodies won’t be as good.

Given that, the next steps are to first find an island overseas to settle down, then return to the continent to initiate the "rampage" mode.

Hmm... just in time to promote Qiu Qianhai’s name.

Ji Yuan doesn’t have a significant goal; he just wants "Qiu Qianhai" to be a well-known name among both the righteous and demonic paths.

As for further ambition, Ji Yuan thinks he lacks the strength and will have to wait until his mana achieves Core Formation to speak further.

As for Ran Kui and Liu Yuan, they will have to adapt accordingly. If they haven’t left a message, it’s fine; if they have, it will be dealt with when found.

About the location for leaving a message...

It would be at the sea area near Coastal City, on the deserted island where Ji Yuan and Phoenix Peach once watched the sunset. The reason for choosing that location is naturally because of its openness.

If anything goes awry, it’s also easy to escape.

Ji Yuan even plans to escape directly to the open seas. If the danger becomes too great, he will head straight to the Jiyuan Continent.

Initially, Black Dragon Island was also suitable, but it’s too far from the mainland, and going there to leave a message might attract unwanted attention.

Upon this contemplation, Tu Yue brings the food, and Ji Yuan, eating absentmindedly, leaves the Lifebound Magical Treasure once more. As the lightning strikes him again, he feels a sheer delight.

A tingling sensation of pleasure.

Shivering slightly, he quickly retrieves his Lifebound Magical Treasure into the Dantian and then directs his gaze towards the deeper part of the Thunder Shock Marsh.

Last time, when trying to absorb water transport to condense the Flying Sword embryo, he reached up to a hundred miles in the Thunder Shock Marsh.
