Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 931 - 361: Level 5 [Chicken Cage] Spirit Effect—Nascent Soul Body!

"Perhaps."Ma Gui lowered his head, lost in thought.

"..."

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.

Inside the cave mansion on Great Dream Island, where Ji Yuan resided, he sat cross-legged in a blue robe, with eyes closed in cultivation.

"No wonder Bone Nightmare Sect even set up an entire Dream Creation Island to cultivate this Great Dream Demon Scripture. Turns out it’s not a cultivation technique but a technique anyone can perform. The technique has layers, from Qi Cultivation to Golden Core, all can practice... No, there must be another part beyond this."

"That means even Nascent Soul cultivators can practice it, but this part is kept hidden by Bone Nightmare Old Demon. Still, what we have now... is sufficient."

By comprehending the Great Dream Demon Scripture, one can not only cultivate within a dream but also create illusions, kill enemies within the unreal.

This is the primary means of this demon skill.

The general effects are twofold. One is a powerful illusion technique, trapping the opponent in an unknown illusion, thus assassinating them.

The other is even more powerful, directly dragging the opponent into a dream upon execution.

Kill the enemy there!

Ji Yuan plans to take time to comprehend some of its aspects, bearing in mind the principle of having multiple skills. But for now, the priority is to enhance his strength through cultivation.

Along with many spirit stones and 6 drops of Dream Potion stored in isolated jade bottles, sent with the customary offerings for the "Golden Core Elders" and "Nascent Soul Disciples," was this Great Dream Demon Scripture.

Ji Yuan temporarily has no intention of practicing the Great Dream Demon Scripture, so he takes out the Dream Potion, and beckons with his hand to summon the strange insect, Dream Butterfly, from the depths of the cave mansion.

Palm-sized, with black and white markings, its wing movements give a sense of mystery.

Ji Yuan raises his right hand, allowing the Dream Butterfly to settle on his index finger, seemingly weightless.

"Come, taste this first."

Ji Yuan smiles as he pours a drop of Dream Potion into his palm.

The Dream Butterfly moves closer, swallowing it whole with its mouthparts.

The Dream Potion enters its belly, making the Dream Butterfly tremble slightly, and then its markings appear to deepen, along with Ji Yuan’s feeling of trance while watching.

But the trance quickly fades, and Ji Yuan discovers that the Dream Butterfly on his hand has fallen asleep.

...Could the Dream Potion be this effective on the Dream Butterfly?

Seeing this, Bone Nightmare Sect is indeed right. If there’s sufficient Dream Potion available, it might only take a few years for the Dream Butterfly to reach Tier Three!

Delighted, Ji Yuan places the Dream Butterfly back into the Spirit Beast Bag, then retrieves the fourth Four-colored Spirit Egg from his Storage Bag.

Spirit Eggs produce once a month.

Having already consumed three, Ji Yuan is well-acquainted with this.

Instead of crushing it, he directly swallows it whole.

Once the Four-colored Spirit Egg is refined, it transforms into a stream of pure four-colored energy, converging into the Dantian.

As soon as the energy enters the Dantian, it envelops the much-reduced Golden Core.

The Four-colored Spirit Egg purifies Spiritual Power just like this, expelling impurities from the original Golden Core, causing its size to shrink continuously.

Then Ji Yuan can continue absorbing Spiritual Qi, strengthening his Golden Core.

This cycle, repeated enough times, will eventually enable his Golden Core to advance to the second layer—the Blood Core Realm.

At this moment, Ji Yuan senses his Golden Core continuously "devoured" by the four-colored energy.

Just like the previous consumption of Tri-colored Spirit Eggs during the Foundation Establishment Stage, it doesn’t mean his Golden Core’s magic power decreases, but becomes more refined.

The same magic, performed at the Core Formation Stage, differs vastly from the Foundation Establishment Stage.

But if both are within the Core Formation Stage, the more refined the magic power, the greater the resulting power.

Additionally, with similar cultivation, more refined magic power implies the capacity to house more magic power... After refining one Four-colored Spirit Egg, Ji Yuan expels a breath of impure air.

His divine sense inevitably sweeps over the large number of thousands of Tri-colored Spirit Eggs stored in the Storage Bag, an output from Level 3 [Chicken Cage], yielding one Tri-colored Spirit Egg per day.

Now, although [Chicken Cage] has been upgraded to Level 4, it doesn’t mean Level 3 [Chicken Cage]’s spirit effect will disappear.

"So given these many Tri-colored Spirit Eggs... can they be sold?"

After some contemplation, Ji Yuan temporarily abandons this idea.

The reason is simple—he currently lacks the strength to protect these Tri-colored Spirit Eggs.

Hua Yaoyue had said that while extremely rare, they remain precious even beyond the two continents of Extreme Abyss and Cangluo in a broader world.

Though useless for high-tier cultivators, everyone has juniors in their family.

Even without descendants, there are disciples and grandchildren, right?

"To trade them, it’s best to wait until Nascent Soul Formation."

Glancing around to confirm nothing left behind, Ji Yuan transforms into escape light, flying out from the Cave Mansion.

Having secluded himself for so long, he now intends to see the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother.

Lest it be said that he never visited her after becoming her apprentice.

While heading south from Great Dream Island, Ji Yuan passes many islands, witnessing various scenes that make him understand why demon cultivators are detestable.

Whether mortals or cultivators, in their eyes, both are akin to immortal materials.

Ji Yuan even saw on an island of a Core Formation Cultivator, him conducting a public blood sacrifice ritual amidst screams, refining nearly thirty cultivators in one go.
