Longevity through Upgrading Buildings-Chapter 555 - 255: The First Level 4 Building [Ten Thousand Updates Seeking Monthly Tickets]
Scarlet Blood Qi surged into both arms, the Foundation Establishment’s immense power erupted wildly, swinging the dried corpse upwards like a sandbag and violently smashing it towards the last figure charging forward!
"Boom!"
The two dried corpses collided, bones breaking and tendons snapping.
The dried corpse’s torso shattered, Evil Qi scattered, transforming into charred fragments that flew away.
Ji Yuan pressed on in one go, lunging forward, his knee propped against the rubble, his fists pummeling down like heavy hammers!
"Thud thud thud..."
The mighty force of a thousand sword swings mixed with Blood Qi, smashing the head of the last dried corpse into dust, shattered bones splattered into the sand, ghostly fire extinguished.
Finally, the dunes returned to dead silence.
All ten dried corpses shattered, some with heads smashed like melons, others with bodies and limbs broken, black turbid Evil Qi drifting with the wind, blending into the sky full of yellow sand.
The wasteland was left in ruins, skeletal remains scattered around in disorder, the blood stains on Ji Yuan’s body were dried by wind and sun, turning black and brown.
Ji Yuan collapsed into a pool of blood, his body convulsing violently.
The abnormal phenomenon of Body Foundation Establishment had long dissipated, the scarlet Blood Qi completely vanished, leaving behind only a severely injured body that was unbearable to look at.
His arms were fractured and contorted in multiple places, muscles torn like ragged cloth, his right knee bent backward, the bone tip piercing through flesh, three ribs in his chest broken and collapsed, the scratches on his abdomen and back deep enough to reveal internal organs, blood gushing out.
His neck bore purple-black strangulation marks, the feeling of suffocation still lingered, sand and dust clung to his wounds, the excruciating pain felt as though thousands of ants were gnawing at his bones.
Lying on the sand, he struggled for breath, each gasp bringing out bloody foam, his eyes unfocused, his breathing faint.
But just when Ji Yuan thought he might be done for, he suddenly realized that the sun hanging in the sky was actually... a person!
This was a person sitting cross-legged in the void beyond the sky!
A radiant aura emanated around him, just like a true blazing sun!
He sat under the sunlight, shining brilliantly, Ji Yuan couldn’t make out his features, only felt that his figure was incomparably grand.
Perhaps sensing Ji Yuan’s gaze, the man slowly opened his eyes, slightly lowered his head to look down, and then a voice like a great bell resounded through the heavens and earth, saying:
"Though your foundation is fragile and unreliable, your bravery in facing death is commendable, barely worthy of passing on my legacy."
"Go—"
With that, he raised his right hand and pointed at Ji Yuan from afar. In an instant, a spark of flame fell.
At first, it looked tiny, but as it descended in front of Ji Yuan, it grew immensely large, directly enveloping him.
Ji Yuan felt as if he was falling into a pool of warm water, his broken body recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. But before he could enjoy the marvel of his healing injuries, an unfamiliar memory poured into his mind.
The Nine Revolutions Profound Yang Skill!
"First revolution tempers the skin, establishing the Body Foundation; second revolution refines the tendons, capable of countering a Golden Core; third revolution’s golden body and profound bones, able to break a Nascent Soul; fourth revolution’s five organs furnace, can shake a Divinity Transformation..."
All the way to the seventh revolution "Profound Yang Dao Body", capable of physically overpowering a Mahayana cultivator.
After digesting this cryptic memory, Ji Yuan was shocked but also curious.
Why does the Nine Revolutions Profound Yang Skill only have seven revolutions?
Moreover, the seventh revolution only just formed the Profound Yang Dao Body, leaving it incomplete, and logically speaking, the Profound Yang Dao Body should not be the culmination of this cultivation technique, even if it’s not just the beginning.
There must be at least the eighth and ninth revolutions...
The seventh revolution already allows one to kill a Mahayana, leaving only one possibility.
After the seventh revolution comes ascension, and the eighth and ninth revolutions are passed down in... the Immortal Realm.
At this thought, Ji Yuan instinctively looked up towards the sky, but when he raised his head, he saw the stone ceiling above him.
"Ah—" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Ji Yuan instinctively stood up and immediately realized that he was already back from that unknown sandy land, back within the Pigsty.
He instinctively thought he had experienced an Illusion Realm, but when he reacted and felt the injuries on his body that had not yet healed, he realized... it was not an illusion realm.
Everything that just happened was actually real!
Ji Yuan quickly lifted his Magic Robe and looked down at his abdomen. The wound that had been opened and gouged out had healed, but the color of the newly formed skin was clearly whiter than the surrounding skin.
... What was that place exactly?
Why could I actually send my body over, or was it that that place was truly the Pigsty?
Ji Yuan couldn’t figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
No matter where that place was or who the person who imparted the Body Cultivation Technique to him really was.
As long as he obtained the cultivation technique, it was enough.
Though it was also a narrow escape.
After considering this, Ji Yuan came out of the Pigsty and sat down in place within the Cave Mansion, continuing to review the profound cultivation technique in his mind.
After understanding the first layer "Tempering the Skin" of the Nine Revolutions Profound Yang Skill, Ji Yuan only then realized why that person had said his foundation was unsupported and unreliable.
...A Foundation established by eating meat is indeed unreliable.
If it were according to the skin tempering method of this Nine Revolutions Profound Yang Skill, then the strength of his Body Foundation Establishment would be several times stronger than it is now!
This means even if he faced those ten dried corpses again, he might still get injured, but the injuries wouldn’t be as severe.
’Fortunately, I am still at the Body Foundation Establishment stage and haven’t formally started skin tempering, so it’s not considered changing cultivation techniques, but rather naturally beginning to cultivate a proper Body Cultivation Technique.’
’According to the Nine Revolutions Profound Yang Skill, in the vast and boundless path of Body Cultivation, Body Foundation Establishment is merely entering the gate, yet on the Cangluo Continent, Body Foundation Establishment is already considered a rarity, indicating just how vast this world is.’
After finishing the "Tempering the Skin" and "Refining the Tendons" sections, Ji Yuan temporarily paused.
Because there was still an important issue at hand, and that was to see what terrifying Spirit Effect this Level 5 Pigsty really possessed.
