Longevity through Upgrading Buildings-Chapter 565 - 258: Tu Yue’s Foundation Establishment

Chapter 565: Chapter 258: Tu Yue’s Foundation Establishment

The opponent charged in, even threatening to slaughter him on the spot. Helpless, Ji Yuan had no choice but to test the edge of the Thunder Strike Sword.

As a result, with two casual slashes, he accidentally cleaved the Demon Cultivator to death.

Ji Yuan wasn’t sure whether it was the sheer power of the Canglan Nine Tribulations Sword Manual combined with the divine thunder of Thunder Shock Marsh condensed into a Flying Sword, or if the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator was simply too weak.

In any case, Ji Yuan, suppressing his own cultivation level slightly, easily slew a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator.

Afterwards, the Foundation Establishment initial-stage Loose Cultivator was profusely thankful to Ji Yuan, who then revealed his true name.

"A nameless Loose Cultivator, Ji Yuan."

Another incident involved the most classic Demon Dao raid city. While passing by Joy Palace, Ji Yuan discovered a city similar to Black Mountain City facing an attack from the Demon Dao.

Intending to secretly lend a hand, he found the situation was already being handled by a Golden Core Zhenren from Joy Palace, so he seized the opportunity to slip away.

Before he left, he realized that the Golden Core Zhenren arriving from Joy Palace was an old acquaintance of his.

The Joy Palace cultivator who had once defended the Spirit Vein of Liancheng Mountain with him back in the day, Lady Mei Ru.

However, she was at the Fake Pill realm back then, and now she had actually formed a Golden Core. This truly surprised Ji Yuan.

After all, she was the first person he knew to advance from Fake Pill to Golden Core.

After much difficulty, he returned to the Water Dragon Sect’s territory, which, like Joy Palace, was in chaos. Even in broad daylight, cultivators were clashing inside some small markets.

These minor skirmishes were too many for Ji Yuan to manage.

Because he simply couldn’t handle them all.

...

On this day.

A streak of green light flashed across the sky. When Ji Yuan saw the long-lost Cloud Rain Marsh, his heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

Firstly, because he had been away for too long, nearly two years.

Secondly, this journey had been fraught with difficulty, especially the acquisition of the PWoang Divine Eyes and the Nine Revolutions Profound Yang Skill, both of which had put him in peril.

But now that he was back at Cloud Rain Marsh, everything should be fine.

He could even send messages to contact Hua Yaoyue from here, so what was there to worry about? 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Ji Yuan immediately increased the speed of the Wind Willow Flying Boat, rushing straight toward Mist Island.

What would have originally taken a day’s travel only took him half a day now. After all, he was a true Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and with the Flame Sword and Thunder Strike Sword combined, Ji Yuan was among the elite even within the Late-stage Foundation Establishment.

With deep roots, his strength was undeniable.

He looked down from above at the still mist-shrouded Mist Island, where he had set up an Array Room, so the Star Dust Illusionary Killing Array was always active. He wasn’t worried about intruders like before.

Unless... someone courted death.

Ji Yuan pressed down with the Flying Boat and dived into the depths of Mist Island.

In truth, most of the buildings had been moved to Wuyou Island, leaving little behind except for the Big Toad, which refused to leave.

Ji Yuan returned here out of habit and to check on the Big Toad.

"Ribbit——"

The Big Toad, rubbing its back against a mountain wall, was momentarily stunned upon seeing the figure suddenly appear before it.

"Ribbit ribbit——"

It leaped forward, intending to pounce.

But Ji Yuan pressed down on its head with one hand, pinning it forcefully. The huge toad was immediately pushed back to the ground.

Seeing the Big Toad’s incredulous expression, Ji Yuan couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Back then, Ji Yuan had tried, and even though he had body Foundation Establishment, he couldn’t compare to the demon-cultivated Big Toad. But now?

With a formal and extremely powerful Body Cultivation Technique, along with Thunder Refining Body, Ji Yuan’s physique had transformed completely.

Exerting all his might against an unwary Big Toad, pinning it down was no problem at all.

"Alright, alright."

Seeing that it was not only fine but also exuding a deep Beast aura, Ji Yuan was genuinely pleased. He then glanced at the Big Toad’s natural Stone Armor on its back.

This Big-mouthed Toad... seems about to reach the Peak of Tier Two!

It turns out that all those Spirit Pigs weren’t eaten for nothing; it’s nearly reaching its limit.

But thinking of this made Ji Yuan both pleased and helpless.

Unless some great fortune occurred, the Peak of Tier Two was indeed the limit for the Big Toad. A Big-mouthed Toad was merely a Tier Two Demon Beast.

To defy the odds and reach Tier Three, its bloodline must change.

A truly monumental opportunity is needed.

Ji Yuan wanted to help, but he was powerless, especially with the great war between righteousness and demons looming overhead... One step at a time.

Ji Yuan rubbed its head, while the Frost Serpent in the Storage Bag was already raring to go. Having also advanced to the Late Stage Second Rank, it was eager to challenge the Big Toad.

But Ji Yuan didn’t release it.

Previously, at Mid-stage Second Rank, the Frost Serpent could already fight the Big Toad to a draw. Now, at Late Stage Second Rank... the Big Toad would certainly lose.

If that’s the case, there’s no need for a fight.

"You practice well, I’ll head home first, and come back to see you in a while."

Seeing the Big Toad was alright reassured Ji Yuan, allowing him to leave.

"Ribbit ribbit ribbit——"

The Big Toad was quite reluctant.

Its simple mind couldn’t grasp why, after such a long absence, they parted ways almost upon meeting.

Yet Ji Yuan eventually left. With so many issues to resolve upon his return, he couldn’t stay here too long.
