Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 700: Chapter 303: Kong Xifeng Takes Action

Dark clouds covered the sky, and purple lightning dispersed the dust.

Amidst this weather, a towering flying boat suddenly dove down from above the clouds, carrying an unstoppable mighty force, breaking through the dark clouds.

As lightning struck down, it was obstructed by the array around the flying boat.

“The thunderstorm generated by the battle between two Tier Three Demon Beasts is so intense; if it weren’t for Junior Martial Uncle Li Xiao’s intervention, I fear we would have perished here.”

Having escaped the disaster clouds, Liu Yuan let out a sigh of relief as he sat in a corner next to Ji Yuan, sighing as he spoke.

“Indeed, thank goodness for Junior Martial Uncle Li Xiao.”

Ji Yuan looked at the man standing at the bow of the ship, his sleeves fluttering majestically, and sincerely admired.

He had only heard of the power of Thunder Technique cultivators, but never imagined they could be so formidable.

The thunderstorm behind them was caused by the battle of several Tier Three Demon Beasts, the Void Thunder Falcons, earlier when Water Dragon Sect’s flying boat passed through the Thunderstorm Area.

A late-stage Tier Three Void Thunder Falcon sensed the presence of their flying boat and intended to hunt it down.

Yet it was forcefully repelled by Hunting Owl Zhenren, at the mid-stage of the Golden Core, who wielded a Thunder Seal, allowing the flying boat to pass safely through the thunderstorm.

Otherwise, detouring would have taken at least half a month’s more time.

Seeing Liu Yuan sit down, Li Changhe also came over, “Actually, there’s something you might not know.”

“What?”

“What is it?”

Ji Yuan and Liu Yuan both raised their heads to look at him.

“Ever since the Righteous-Demonic war began, not only our Shang Dong but the entire Cangluo Continent’s demon beasts have become active, and many high-tier demon beasts have appeared.”

Li Changhe spoke as he sat cross-legged.

“Take the Void Thunder Falcons for example; previously, it was impossible for so many Tier Three to appear at once, let alone move away from the deep mountains to our Human Race’s territory.”

“I see, I hadn’t heard that.”

Liu Yuan responded, nodding.

Ji Yuan remained silent but recalled another matter.

He remembered Hua Yaoyue once saying that it was a calamity, a disaster concerning the billions of beings on Cangluo Continent…

Ji Yuan also brought this notion up to ask Li Changhe, to see if this Nascent Soul Family’s Young Master had heard of it.

It turned out they hadn’t; their Li Family had no records about the calamity.

Thus, after another two days, Hunting Owl Zhenren retreated from the front of the flying boat, replaced by Celestial Chef Zhenren.

During this period, they faced Demonic Dao attacks, but the highest cultivation among them was only Fake Pill cultivators; one was killed, and several others fled.

After another half a month, they safely arrived within Water Dragon Sect’s territory.

At this familiar place, the flying boat moved even faster.

Ji Yuan had once stood up several times, overlooking what was once his homeland.

One could only say… the damage was severe; everywhere was filled with smoky, toxic air, and many once bustling cities had turned into desolate ruins.

Some mountain peaks with somewhat richer Spiritual Qi were occupied by Demonic Dao and refined into Demon Caves.

However, among them were some relatively pure Righteous Cultivators resisting the Demonic Dao.

Whenever encountering such events, Water Dragon Sect’s flying boat would slightly slow down, and Ji Yuan and others would seize the chance to draw swords to slay demon cultivators.

Until this flying boat returned to Cloud Rain Marsh.

Upon arriving here, Ji Yuan became even more alert; he hadn’t forgotten that on Mist Island, there was still that Big Toad… whether it was still alive remained a question.

The main issue was that when Ji Yuan wanted to take it to Wuyou Island, it stubbornly refused.

Mist Island was where it grew up, and it didn’t want to leave.

Ji Yuan was helpless and let it go.

But unexpectedly, since that farewell, circumstances had turned out like this.

“Brother Ji.”

Liu Yuan saw Ji Yuan rise, and went out to transmit his voice, knowing Ji Yuan had fought his way out from Cloud Rain Marsh.

“Hmm.”

Looking at the current Cloud Rain Marsh, Ji Yuan had only one thought: comparing it to before, the previous Cloud Rain Marsh seemed peaceful.

Since it was near Water Dragon Sect, and Water Dragon Sect was one of Shang Dong’s six immortal sects.

Thus, many Demonic Daos gathered around here.

They stationed nearby, like a group of small fish waiting for a whale to fall; Water Dragon Sect was undoubtedly this great whale.

As Ji Yuan watched, other cultivators curiously looked around their sect’s vicinity.

“That’s Blood Luo Mountain’s base, that’s Demon Flame Palace’s, couldn’t see White Bone Sect’s, must be on the other side.”

Standing beside Ji Yuan, Li Changhe pointed out and introduced.

Ji Yuan watched, noting that Blood Luo Mountain’s base was the former Black Water Square, Demon Flame Palace’s location was near Jingde Square.

It was actually near Zengtou City.

Too far away, one could only vaguely see Demon Flame Palace’s huge emblem.

A burning black torch.

“And over there… damn, there are Core Formation Realm demon cultivators coming, and there are three!”

Li Changhe was shocked at the sight, and other onlooking cultivators retreated in fear.

“What’s wrong with you people? You’ve traveled long distances to get here, now back near your sect, are you worried about being wiped out by the Demonic Dao?”
