《The Great Enlightenment》


 Extra Chapter 1 – I wish people a long life

    In Ji Family''s Dungeon, Imprisonment hall.His long gray and white hairs were scattered in a mess. Except for the Shenque (Divine Palace Acupoint) Point on the eyebrows, Ji Hong''s acupoints were all pierced by thick iron cables, which were firmly nailed to the ground, making him unable to use his Xuan Qi from his Xuan Sea.


    Looking forward through the fine iron fence, in the smaller cell on the opposite side was also a thin girl who was chained by the iron chains. Her entire body was covered with blood and mud, making it such that her beautiful face could no longer be seen behind the bloody veil.


    "Ji Quexue, don''t pretend to be dead, get up and eat."


    A guard of Ji family'' mansion walked in with a cold wooden box. It took a lot of effort to open the door of Ji Quexue''s dungeon, so his tone was rather impatient.


    The wooden box was thrown in front of the girl very casually, and a cold hard steamed bun and a few pieces of pickles that were deliberately placed to become moldy fell out of it and scattered on the ground.


    Ji Quexue moved slightly, the iron chains rattled, and there was a piercing pain all over her body.


    This kind of food couldn''t even be eaten by ordinary people in the outer city of Taichu Ancient City, let alone the daughter of her family''s main branch.


    The black-clothed mansion guard stared at Ji Quexue''s dirty little face, with a hint of teasing in his tone, "Why, Miss, don''t you want to eat?"


    While talking, he leaned closer.


    Ji Quexue raised her head abruptly, her bloodshot pupils stared fiercely at the black-armored guard, causing him to be taken aback by surprise.


    "If you dare to touch her, I will kill you."


    The cold and hoarse voice reached his ears, compelling the black-armored mansion guard to look back. Ji Hong in the opposite cell had red eyes and was looking at him with dark killing intent.


    "Bah! Do you think you''re still the head of the Ji family? You''re just a prisoner!"


    The guard pretended to be calm and spat fiercely at Ji Hong, but at the same time suppressed the unbearable thoughts in his heart.


    Although Ji Hong couldn''t move, he was once in the True Dao Realm, maybe he possessed some strange means to kill him.


    If he was lustful enough to take advantage of Ji Quexue, perhaps Ji Hong would really try to kill him in anger. Competing with this kind of prisoner would not be worth the gain.


    Thinking of this, he glanced at Ji Hong angrily, but didn''t dare to touch Ji Quexue again, he turned around and locked the cell door and left.


    "Quexue, just eat something, you are still valuable as you have ignited your Heart Fire, you are not as bad as me."


    Ji Hong''s voice became more and more hoarse.


    Ji Quexue shook her head and closed her eyes directly.


    Ji Hong let out a long sigh, and there was an extremely painful struggle in his eyes.


    After a long time, he seemed to have finally made a decision, and was relieved.


    "Quexue, I have done many wrong things for my father in this life, and I have countless regrets. But this one thing, I will not regret it as a father."


    Ji Hong spoke softly with a smile.


    After these words fell, his body withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a few short breaths, he became a thin old man with gray hair. Even his breathing was extremely unpleasant. Whenever he moved, a hoarse creaking sound echoed in the entire prision.


    Ji Quexue raised her head as if she had sensed something usual, looked at Ji Hong, who had changed a lot, and subconsciously asked, "What did you do?"


    Ji Hong shook his head and opened his mouth slightly, but there was only a hoarse whimper in his throat.


    It was just that his eyes are brighter than ever before, and there seemed to be a blazing flame burning in them.


    "Father, Father, what''s wrong with you?"


    Ji Quexue''s feelings for Ji Hong were extremely complicated, and she didn''t even know if she should hate him, but seeing Ji Hong like this at this time, she was still a little touched in her heart.


    The flames in Ji Hong''s eyes manifested, and gradually sloughed out of his body, turning into a phantom of a fire lotus floating towards Ji Quexue.


    When the Heart Fire had not been extinguished, it was against the way of heaven to sacrifice it to others.


    Not only would the divine soul shatter, but even the true spirit would collapse, completely dissipating between the heavens and the earth, and there would be no chance of reincarnation.


    Ji Quexue looked up at the fire lotus that slowly merged into the divine palace acupoint between her eyebrows, and her heart throbbed with unknown emotions.


    When she looked at the opposite cell again, there was no one there.


    The blood-stained steel cable hung down empty, only a few wisps of smoke drifted away, and gradually annihilated into fine dust.


    After half a day.


    "It''s not good! Go and report to the commander Xu Jianghe, Ji Hong and Ji Quexue in the dungeon have disappeared!"

    Several black-armored palace guards looked at each other, their eyes full of terror.

 Ch. 1 - Mountain Ghost

    At dawn.Pushing aside the dense branches, gazing steadily at the clear stream below, a vague figure of slender young man was seen reflecting on the surface of the clear stream.


    "Where am I?"


    The young man lowered his body, cupped a handful of stream water, and harshly splashed it onto his face. The bone-chilling coldness penetrated his cheeks, momentarily sharpening his senses.


    This mountain stream faced away from the sun, perennially untouched by sunlight, hence the chilling nature of its water.


    Clang!


    Without warning, a distant and majestic bell echoed through the mountains.


    The young man struggled to stand up, a sense of powerlessness invading him, nearly causing him to fall into the narrow stream.


    Bowing his head to scrutinize himself, the black silk robe woven from satin had many tears from branches, the jet-black long hair freed from its pin, clinging disorderly to his fair and handsome face.


    Even his golden-threaded embroidered shoes had openings. The jade pendant hanging from his waistband had vanished, leaving only a fine red rope hanging loosely, a clear sign of his distressed state.


    "My name is, Ji ..."


    The young man furrowed his brow, attempting to recall his surname. Yet, a sudden sharp pain pierced his forehead, plunging his fleeting memories into confusion once again.


    Clang!


    A second bell resonated, sharper than the first, accompanied by an eerie feeling that sent shivers down one''s spine. s?a??h th? ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Covering his forehead, the young man crouched down, plunging his head into the clear and bright stream.


    After a few breaths, he lifted his head from the cool water, finding some relief from the intense pain in his forehead.


    Casually wiping the water droplets from his face with his black silk sleeve, he slumped down by the stream, releasing a heavy sigh.


    Clang!!!


    The third bell echoed across the mountains!


    A sharp and resentful scream accompanied the bell, piercing deep into the young man''s mind, causing an involuntary shiver.


    "What kind of sound is this? The bells in ordinary mountain temples would never be so eerie."


    Before the murmured words could settle, an overwhelmingly powerful invisible sound wave emanated from afar, sending the young man flying several yards, crashing hard against a towering rock.


    Blood splattered.


    After a while, the young man barely managed to sit up, trembling as he touched the left side of his forehead, feeling a tearing, excruciating pain.


    Blood flowed down his cheek, the constant agony almost causing him to faint.


    But as he raised his head and saw the invisible ripple spreading from the mountains once again, there was no time to hesitate. With all his strength, he rolled over and plunged into the narrow and deep mountain stream beside him.


    The next moment, a more intense wave of sound swept through, causing rocks to collapse and fly, even stopping the flow of the stream.


    ...


    Tick-tock.


    "My name is ... Ji Yue ... Nian."


    The young man looked up at the intermittent drops of water between the cracks of the rocks, forcing a slight smile on his blood-stained face.


    He finally recalled his name from the fragments of his remaining memories.


    Leaning against the damp rocks at the bottom of the stream, Ji Yuenian relaxed slowly.


    The wound on his forehead was ghastly, with even flesh and blood spilling out.


    Surveying his surroundings, Ji Yuenian realized this place was a dead end, and the previously tumbled stream entrance was now solidly blocked by countless chaotic rocks.


    Shaking his head slightly, he lowered his body, scooped some icy stream water from a sunken rock hollow, and wiped his face.


    After cleaning the blood from his face, disregarding the chill and dampness, Ji Yuenian sat down directly in this dark and narrow mountain stream.


    His strength was truly feeble at this moment; he needed to force himself to rest and recover a bit before attempting to push away these tightly packed rocks.


    After an unknown duration, the light filtering through the cracks in the rocks had completely vanished, evidently indicating nighttime.


    Struggling to open his eyes, Ji Yuenian woke up from his slumber, greeted by a despairing silence and darkness.


    "I''ve slept for about eight or nine hours. Judging by this, it should be the dead of night, isn''t it?"


    Ji Yuenian''s dry mouth felt as if it were burning; he couldn''t help but reach out to grope the rocks in front of him.


    It was only after a few moments that he barely touched the hollow with some remaining stream water, scooped it up, and gradually moistened his lips and teeth.


    "This place is so damp and dark. If I can''t escape in a short time, I''m afraid I''ll truly die here in this mountain stream."


    Ji Yuenian pondered, attempting once again to recall the forgotten memories, yet the intense, piercing pain at his forehead only grew sharper.


    Suddenly, a bone-chilling cold wind swept across his cheeks.


    While Ji Yuenian endured the pain in his forehead, he suddenly felt a slight shiver uncontrollably run through his body.


    This place was already blocked by chaotic rocks, with only a few extremely small crevices; how could there be such a chilling wind?


    A faint white halo pervaded the mountain stream, dispelling the deep darkness. Ji Yuenian could distinctly sense a chilling atmosphere behind him, which had appeared out of nowhere.


    "Who''s there!?"


    Settling his slightly panicked mind, Ji Yuenian abruptly turned his head, only to be met with the sight of a young girl dressed in a snowy white skirt.


    The girl stood on her fair and slender bare feet, her jet-black hair cascading down to her waist. The pale moonlight faintly shimmered on her snow-white skirt, her delicately beautiful face portraying exquisite features.


    Lowering her cold, frost-like gaze, the girl scrutinized Ji Yuenian, lightly smiling.


    The girl''s smiling face seemed to thaw like ice and snow, even bringing a trace of warmth to this dark and icy mountain stream, a warmth that didn''t seem to exist.


    However, in the next moment, Ji Yuenian''s pupils suddenly contracted.


    The corners of the white-clad girl''s lips had cracked to the limits of what her lips could endure, continuing to split toward her ears. After a few breaths, her extraordinarily beautiful face had transformed entirely into a horrific grotesque mouthpiece!


    "What a fresh human."


    A hoarse, unpleasant voice emerged from the moving mouthpiece on the girl''s face, a burst of coldness assaulting Ji Yuenian from head to toe, even colder than the stream water beneath his feet by a thousandfold or more.

 Ch. 2 - Heart Fire

    Mountain ghosts, the demons lurking in the depths of gorges and ravines, mostly manifested as female apparitions. They delighted in consuming humans, beasts, demons, and spirits, born from the accumulation of yin energy within mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, nurturing grievances.Unless unforeseen events occur, they can never leave the land of their incarnation.


    Ji Yuenian''s long eyelashes trembled slightly. Raising his head, he faced the terrifying and monstrous face of the young girl. Vague reflections of the faint halo around her body shimmered in his eyes. However, his scalp started to tingle, and a weak and overwhelming sense of exhaustion surged through his entire body. He found himself unable to move even a finger and stood motionless in place.


    "It''s been a long time since anyone has come to this place," the jade-like finger, emitting a white light, lightly touched Ji Yuenian''s head. The mouthpiece on the mountain ghost''s face squirmed, and a hoarse and unpleasant voice echoed in the narrow and secluded mountain gorge, "The allure of this is much stronger than those newly born spiritual creatures."


    As her hand touched Ji Yuenian''s head, he felt as though he were suddenly plunged into an icy hell. A bone-chilling cold penetrated his body within moments. Even between his fair and handsome brows, there involuntarily arose wisps of white mist, eventually drawn into the mouthpiece of the mountain ghost.


    "Though the vitality of humans is of little use to me, the taste is truly unforgettable ¡­"


    The mountain ghost stood barefoot, suspended as if weightless, speaking to herself as if no one else were there. Her tone carried a hint of intoxication. Her gentle touch on Ji Yuenian''s head was exceedingly tender.


    Though Ji Yuenian couldn''t move at all, he could keenly perceive his growing weakness. If this mountain ghost continued to drain him like this, he would surely die!


    Gradually, a faint black flame flickered within his soul.


    This fire was called Heartfire, although only a mere flicker, it had the potential to ignite a blaze.


    Boom!


    As if lightning in a clear sky, the fog in his memory suddenly dissipated somewhat. Though Ji Yuenian tightly shut his eyes, he eerily glimpsed a scene in his deep memory that sent shivers down his spine.


    Before he could continue recalling the scene from his memory, an excruciating pain suddenly emanated from his left arm.


    Ji Yuenian abruptly opened his eyes. His handsome face contorted with extreme agony, his mouth gaping open but unable to produce any sound. Fresh blood sprayed from the broken wrist, staining even the faint white halo around the gorge with a stark and dazzling red hue.


    "Quite satisfying."


    The mountain ghost forcibly tore off Ji Yuenian''s left hand, casually tossing it into her mouth. The confined space echoed with the chilling sound of her chewing.


    In just a few breaths, she completely swallowed the hand, her delicate face filled with a sense of aftertaste.


    Apparently, having not consumed a human for a long time, she didn''t immediately kill Ji Yuenian but intended to keep him as livestock, slowly consuming him.


    A faint white halo flowed from her fingertips, covering Ji Yuenian''s left wrist. The splattering blood inexplicably began to stop, even showing signs of slight healing in such a short time, a method that left one astounded.


    With his head drooping, Ji Yuenian''s face lost all color. His black eyelashes quivered slightly, and once again, faint traces of Heartfire surged from an unknown place within him. His eyes were filled with profound and endless darkness.


    Since waking up by the side of this narrow stream in the mountain gorge, he had lost all memories and was physically weakened to the extreme.


    After evading the bell-like sonic waves and falling into this narrow mountain gorge, he fell into the hands of this mountain ghost, treated as mere livestock.


    These perilous and hopeless events occurred in an extremely short time, causing Ji Yuenian, under the invasion of some mysterious power, to gradually ignite a terrifying black flame deep within his soul.


    "Hm?" The mountain ghost seemed to sense something amiss. Looking at Ji Yuenian with his head lowered, she sneered, "A mere mortal, akin to livestock. Although it''s rare to ignite Heartfire, in front of me ¡­ dare you resist!?"


    As she finished speaking, she waved her palm again, and a rainbow-like white light pierced directly through Ji Yuenian''s entire left arm!


    The residual white light left no trace of blood on Ji Yuenian''s left arm. It then rolled up the severed limb and disappeared into the mouthpiece of the mountain ghost.


    Crunch, crunch.


    The pain was too intense. Ji Yuenian fainted outright under such intense stimulation. There was no longer a flicker of flame in his soul, and the black Heartfire gradually subsided, gradually fading away.


    Gulp.


    Satisfied, the mountain ghost swallowed the last piece of flesh and bone, her twisted mouthpiece slowly retracting. Under the cover of the white light, in just a few breaths, she transformed back into the beautiful and charming young girl from before.


    The shimmering light in her beautiful eyes finally settled on Ji Yuenian''s face.


    "Although just like livestock, this one is quite exceptional. If I hadn''t abstained from consuming humans for many years, perhaps I would have toyed with him a bit before devouring."


    Oddly enough, her voice was no longer hoarse and unpleasant but as melodious as a warbler, extremely pleasant to hear. S?a??h th? N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Ji Yuenian''s fainting only lasted a very short time. Though the bleeding from his left arm had ceased, the excruciating pain still woke him from his slumber.


    Upon waking, he saw the beautiful barefooted girl standing in the narrow mountain gorge, gazing down at him with playful interest.


    Suddenly, a finger-thick, blazing white lightning bolt appeared from the void and pierced directly into the girl''s forehead!


    Her expression changed slightly. In a moment, her figure completely turned into a phantom, barely evading most of the lightning''s power. After the blazing light passed through her body, it fiercely struck the bottom of the gorge!


    Boom!


    Rocks shattered, and the narrow gorge completely collapsed. The dazzling, blazing white light in the night sky was so bright that it illuminated the nearby Qingluan Mountain as if it were daylight.


    "You scoundrel, won''t you kneel and submit?"


    A clear voice swept down from the sky, carrying a hint of suppression, forming ripples that carried the remaining blazing white lightning toward the reappeared figure of the mountain ghost.


    The girl snorted, a white light emanating from her graceful movements, forming a radiant white light curtain around her.


    The light curtain violently collided with the sound waves, generating countless transparent ripples in the void, stirring up a storm of debris that could destroy everything.


    "I thought it was a real cultivator who came here, but it turned out to be an unweaned child, daring to boast here, trying to subdue me? Leave your life first!"


    As she spoke, the girl''s face had once again transformed into the terrifying appearance of the mountain ghost. With a wide mouth, a dark wind gathered out of nowhere, forming a python several dozen yards long, roaring as it lunged towards the figure in the sky.


    The figure paused, seemingly unexpected at the mountain ghost''s formidable dark energy. But in the next moment, he swiftly formed a seal with his hands and conjured a blazing white lightning bolt, cleaving directly into the body of the dark python.


    Roar!


    As the lightning entered its body, the python let out an excruciating howl, then disintegrated into dark winds, vanishing into the night sky.


    Within the lingering silver light, the figure slowly descended. Just a few yards away from where the mountain ghost stood, he smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, my apologies for my presumptuousness earlier."


    The silver light gradually dissipated, revealing a clear image of a young Daoist with rosy lips and white teeth.

 Ch. 3 - The Ancient Temple

    Wearing a loose-fitting cyan Daoist robe, the figure had delicate features, appearing no more than fourteen or fifteen years old. It seemed the mountain ghost''s claim of the figure being a child was not entirely incorrect.The young girl coldly snorted again, showing no intention of making another move. She retrieved the mountain ghost''s form and said, "At such a young age, instead of quietly cultivating in the Daoist temple, you''re out causing trouble. It''s fortunate that I''m patient; I don''t wish to engage with you further. Otherwise, you''d regret it today!"


    "Fellow Daoist, your cultivation is astonishing, reaching the Upper Realm of Returning to Truth even in the body of a mountain ghost. It''s truly remarkable," the young Daoist praised repeatedly, carefully examining the girl''s entire body. His gaze paused on the white halo that surrounded her from time to time, his expression turning more solemn. "If you could progress further, you could rid yourself of this mountain ghost''s form, present yourself to the Supreme God of the Yuan Yan Realm, and request the official appointment as a divine god. From then on, you''d be revered as a local mountain deity, receiving worship within a thousand-mile radius."


    His surprise was understandable; cultivating in the body of a mountain ghost was incredibly challenging, and reaching the Upper Realm of Returning to Truth was exceptionally rare.


    To break free from this tainted body, ascend to the status of a divine god, and leverage one''s profound foundation for greater heights¡ªafter an unknown length of time in cultivation, one might even glimpse the position of the Supreme God of the regional realms, although that was uncertain.


    "You, young one, are probably passing by the Qingluan Mountains for the first time, right? The Upper Realm of Returning to Truth... so what? I''m afraid there''s no chance for me to break through in this lifetime."


    Hearing the Daoist''s words, a self-deprecating expression appeared on the girl''s face. She shook her head, turned around, and transformed into a faint white light, carrying the figure from the pile of rubble. She was about to leave and disappear into the forest.


    "Hold on!" The Daoist looked at the figure wrapped in the white light, his gaze intense.


    The girl gradually halted, her back turned to the Daoist in cyan robes. Her beautiful face contorted, eventually turning into a more hideous and terrifying ghost face. Her voice also became hoarse, "Young Daoist, don''t offer a toast only to reject the wine. Take the punishment."


    Although her tone was flat, it was now tinged with hostility.


    Her cultivation in Yin Qi surpassed the young Daoist''s cultivation in Xuan Qi at the initial stage of Returning to Truth. She had refrained from acting earlier out of concern for the Daoist''s seniority and backing.


    However, being a mountain ghost born in the northwest corner of the Qingluan Mountains, she couldn''t leave this territory. This young Daoist, with his cultivation at such a young age, must have a terrifying background behind him, far beyond her capability to provoke.


    Yet, a mud figurine could also be somewhat stubborn, especially a mountain ghost that had consumed countless beings!


    The reason the young Daoist refrained from acting was his realization that this mountain ghost was an exceptionally rare cultivator at the Upper Realm of Returning to Truth realm, something he couldn''t easily control. That''s why they had been able to converse earlier.


    "Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. I mean no harm; I''m merely wondering if it''s excessive for someone with your cultivation to still prey on humans," the young Daoist shook his head and smiled. "If it''s merely for sustenance, I can understand. But wouldn''t you want to progress further? If someday your violence is discovered by the Supreme God and protectors of the regional mountain gods, you might not attain the position of a mountain god."


    "Progress further?" The girl gradually manifested her complete mountain ghost form, with dark Yin Qi spreading from her skull. It was clear her emotions were not calm at the moment. "I''ve already said, I have no hope for advancement in this lifetime. The Upper Realm of Returning to Truth realm is my limit. Are you deaf!?"


    The last sentence was fiercely said. At this point, her entire body had transformed into an enormous and terrifying mountain ghost, nearly fifty feet tall, with six legs, nine arms, and two heads. The pitch-black mountain wind swept around her, accentuating her fierceness and ferocity. s?a??h th? N?velF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    "Oh no, my words seem to have touched a nerve; I fear I can''t save this person anymore." The young Daoist looked somewhat regretful, glancing at the figure casually thrown to the side by the mountain ghost. He silently uttered a word, flicked his cyan Daoist robe, and without hesitation, propelled himself with a verdant ray of light, swiftly fleeing into the distance.


    Roar!


    The mountain ghost''s two massive heads filled with sharp teeth opened to their maximum, emitting a roar that echoed through the forest!


    Invisible ripples surged wildly, shattering rocks and stopping the flow of the creek. The entire northwest corner of the Qingluan Mountains quivered slightly under this terrifying roar.


    Clang!


    Suddenly, a deafening bell echoed throughout the Qingluan Mountains!


    Initially majestic, the bell''s sound contained an incredibly eerie and resentful intent. Even the verdant forest seemed to be shrouded in a faint gloom.


    As the bell tolled, the mountain ghost paused. With the contraction and concentration of the white light around her, her colossal form rapidly shrank within moments, returning to the appearance of an incredibly beautiful barefoot girl.


    The faint white halo around her was now wavering, occasionally brightening and dimming. Her eyes, once filled with despair and resentment, no longer carried the previous brutality and ferocity.


    However, moments later, she concealed all those emotions. Covering the turbulence within her eyes with a white light, she picked up the unconscious figure of Ji Yuenian, then disappeared into the dense forest.


    Ancient temple.


    There were no statues within the temple, only a few worn yet clean mats. In a corner lay a crude wooden table, now slightly dusty, obviously unused for a long time.


    A clothed young man strolled into the temple, casually throwing a heavy bell hammer to the ground, muttering softly, "These things in the mountains have been getting increasingly unruly lately. Should I report it to Master Bai Lu and have all these demons turned into elixirs ahead of time? If they continue to make noise like this, it''ll disturb my cultivation."


    After some hesitation, he dismissed the fleeting thought. After all, White Egret Demon Lord was too formidable. Even he, every time he went to pay respects, had to be extra cautious.


    The clothed young man approached and sat on one of the mats, closing his eyes slowly. Mysterious golden true light emanated from his body, gradually submerging him into meditation.


    As the golden light pervaded the ancient temple, a small golden-haired beast''s phantom slowly materialized above the young man''s head. Upon closer inspection, the small beast was also in a meditative pose, with closed eyes, mirroring the young man''s meditative state.


    The murmuring sound of the stream lingered around, and Ji Yuenian suddenly opened his eyes, greeted by the refreshing sight of verdant mountains. The bright sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, casting patches of dappled shadows around him.


    By the side of a small stream a few yards away, the slender figure of the white-robed girl sat on a sturdy rock. Her bare feet dipped into the rapidly flowing cold water, gently swaying. She spoke softly, "You''re awake."


    The faint white halo surrounding her had completely vanished by now. Her pitch-black long hair cascaded down like a waterfall. From Ji Yuenian''s angle, he could only vaguely discern the girl''s profile. The crystal-clear earlobes peeked out, tinged with a hint of blush, making her seem no different from an ordinary mortal girl.


    Bowing her head slightly, Ji Yuenian''s left arm, bereft of its sleeve, hung limp. Occasional sharp pangs shot through the injury, but it was much better than before.


    "Is the pain gone now?" The white-robed girl stood up, casually grabbing a clean silk cloth beside her, wiping the clear water droplets hanging from Ji Yuenian''s legs and feet. "I cast a Yin Qi spell on you, not only to temporarily relieve your pain but also to reverse Yin and Yang, hastening the regeneration of your wound. Within ten days or so, your severed arm will completely regenerate."


    For some reason, this white-robed girl seemed to have undergone a complete change in demeanor. There was no trace of her previous hostility.


    Ji Yuenian remained silent, his gaze lowered even further.


    At this moment, he was at the mercy of others; no matter how much was said, it would be futile.


    However ... the severed arm didn''t seem as the mountain ghost described it. At this moment, not only did he occasionally experience intense pain, but he also keenly noticed that the speed of regeneration was terrifyingly fast!


    Underneath the half-foot sleeve covering his arm, what was once a bald stump had now regrown into a two-inch forearm, fully formed with flesh, blood, and bone. At the end, it was still enveloped in the white light left by the mountain ghost, which intermittently emitted dazzling points of light merging into the arm, catalyzing its growth.


    Looking at the mountain ghost resembling an ordinary mortal girl, Ji Yuenian''s gaze dimmed slightly for a moment before he lowered his head and closed his eyes once more, delving deeply into his memories, attempting to recall the horrifying scene that had left him trembling after waking up.

 Ch. 4 - Indestructible Body

    The heaven was obscured and the river of stars flowed backwards."Crush his body and destroy his true spirit."


    The cold voice rumbled between the heavens and the earth, the thick thunder ripped apart the sky covered by dark clouds. As soon as those words were spoken, all the resplendent figures executed their respective divine abilities as they charged towards the white robed man that sat on the stone platform.


    "It''s the magic formula from ''The Cultivation Manual Of The Secret Supernatural Skill - Indestructible Body''.. I have an indestructible body and I cannot be destroyed. What can you do? It''s better to let that god come and see me in person. Maybe I will think about it and stop myself."


    While the man in white robe shook his head and chuckled, he allowed the thunder to strike his body which was swirling with light and darkness, and he was as immobile as a rock under the seal of the magic formula.


    "This fellow''s profound art is too terrifying to break through!"


    "According to my guess, I''m afraid that he has already passed the third tribulation, and he is not someone I can kill at all!"


    "This is really tricky, do you really want to invite god Yao Guang to come here in person? But the god has ordered..."


    ......


    Under the continuous bombardment, the man in white robe was not injured at all, and the movements of those dazzling figures gradually stopped.


    "It''s okay, this beast will die today. Let me come."


    He heard the cold voice from earlier again, and it was the most dazzling figure in the sky. Between his clenched hands, the roar of the thunder above the chaotic sky became more and more violent, even the heaven and earth dulled for a moment.


    "You still want to see god Yao Guang, you are really daydreaming! This type of magical skill is a western secret, derived from the general trend to Maha Bodhisattva. I haven''t used it since I''ve learned it, so I will use it on you today!"


    "The Buddhist skill- Breaking through heavens!"


    The dazzling golden light burst out like a tide, and even the dark clouds were stained with the color of brilliant gold, and the golden Buddha light in the sky changed into thousands of golden light blades, sweeping towards the man in white robes on the stone platform.


    Boom!


    The first golden light blade swirled, and the head of the man in white robe, which seemed to be indestructible, was directly cut off!


    As the shining golden light dissipated, the golden blade of light also turned into a brilliant golden light spot that gradually disappeared into the void.


    The silhouettes standing in the sky had not yet had the time to rejoice as the neck of the person in white robes was encompassed with azure light. After a while, these azure light spots condensed into a virtual image that was exactly the same as the previously decapitated head, and then from the virtual to the real, a brand new head was formed!


    The next golden light blade spinned, and charged again.


    His right arm was completely shattered, but there was also a bright azure light quickly spreading out, and a new right arm was condensed again!


    The thousands of golden light blades became more and more violent, and in the end they even crushed the white-robed man into countless pieces!


    What''s more terrifying was that.. even if there was only a slight azure light spot left, the person in white robe would re-condense the virtual image of the body, thus turning the image into real flesh, as if he had never suffered anything from the beginning to the end. The damage was mediocre and miraculous to the extreme.


    "Your Majesty, Supreme Maha Bodhisattva?" The man in the white robe once again condensed his body and laughed loudly, "This Bodhisattva''s supernatural skills are really good, but it''s a pity... Your proficiency in the skill is too poor. I''m afraid the skill you are casting would never be able to break my esoteric and mystical undying powers much less the heavens!"


    Amidst the laughter, the golden light blades became more and more dense, and finally turned into a golden glow that covered the sky. It not only covered the whole world, but also formed a thick veil around the deep memory of Ji Yuenian.


    ......


    Those long eyelashes trembled lightly, and Ji Yuenian opened his eyes slightly, a bright azure light escaped from them without any restraint, and disappeared in a moment.


    Although the memory of himself deep in his mind had not yet been recalled, at this time, a vague image of a true art with azure light appeared in his soul very clearly.


    ''The Cultivation Manual Of The Secret Supernatural Skill - Indestructible Body'', originated from the Forbidden Kingdom of the 33rd heaven.


    The man in the white robe was a God in the Forbidden Kingdom of the 33rd heaven. He was gifted since childhood. He first cultivated Buddhism and then entered the Dao. Finally, he created this magical skill after passing the third tribulation.


    Although he had been silent for a long time. At this time, he had already been cleared of his injustice and was ranked as the divine ruler of the gods.


    ''It''s just... Why is there a secret biography of this high god''s true secret in my memory? Do I have any connection with him?''


    Ji Yuenian carefully read that magic power formula, but found that apart from the seven characters of ''The Cultivation Manual Of The Secret Supernatural Skill - Indestructible Body'', he couldn''t understand even the other half of the succeeding characters, thus he couldn''t practice it at all.


    It was just that the azure light that pervaded it emitted a little from time to time; it leaked out of the Jinggong acupoint, and diffused into his left arm, making it recover faster.


    ''Would not die.''


    Ji Yuenian smiled bitterly.


    Now it seemed that even though there had always been such a wonderful skill in his memory, he was unable to cultivate it at all. At this time, even if he showed his trump card, at most it could only make his injury recover faster, and it would not help him in his situation at this time.


    ''If the mountain ghost shot directly like the previous time, I am afraid that I would not have the power to resist in the slightest, and this ''The Cultivation Manual Of The Secret Supernatural Skill - Indestructible Body'' would not be able to fight against this mountain ghost who was at the upper stage of True Dao Realm.''


    As his thoughts flowed, out of the corner of his eyes, Ji Yuenian suddenly caught a glimpse of a piece of silk on the side of the girl in white.


    That piece of silk was torn down from the silk clothes he was wearing. It was used by this mountain ghost to wipe her legs and feet before, but there was something strange with it.


    The mountain ghost had strong yin energy and countless powerful techniques. She could even wipe the water droplets off her body with a moment of thought. Why did she wipe it with a cloth like a mortal?


    Ji Yuenian''s eyes became more and more squinted, and at this time he also noticed an extremely important detail. The white halo that lingered around the mountain ghost all the time had completely dissipated. Based on her appearance, she was just like an ordinary mortal girl.


    A terrible guess gradually came to mind.


    Is the mountain ghost no longer as powerful as the previous time for some reason?


    If one were more bold, one could even say... Had she lost the yin energy of the late stage of True Dao Realm!?


    Although Ji Yuenian didn''t know the specific cultivation realm, he had seen the horror of mountain ghosts with his own eyes. After the terrifying power was fully revealed, it was enough to split mountains and crack rocks, and a roar could change the trajectory of the wind and clouds.


    He knew very well that the mountain ghost had no good intentions to heal himself, but instead at the Qingluan Mountain, she had not tasted the flesh of a human for too long, and now she just wanted to keep himself in captivity as a livestock, and eat him slowly.


    In the depths of his mind, the dark Heart Fire loomed, but Ji Yuenian didn''t want to try to mobilize it again. This mountain ghost was moody and extremely emotional. Maybe she would kill him when she found out.


    By then it would be too late to regret.


    Heart Fire, which was possessed by countless living beings, was crimson red and extinguished most of the time.


    It was the foundation of beings'' ability to cultivate. If one wanted to ignite their Heart Fire, the conditions were extremely harsh. However, there were also many souls who had their Heart Fire ignited by chance, and had been able to cultivate with the help of heaven, the earth, the sun, and the moon.


    And once the Heart Fire was ignited, it couldn''t be extinguished again. If it was to be extinguished, the soul would be completely lost, the body would be destroyed, and reincarnated. In severe cases, the true spirit would be annihilated and the soul would be scattered between heaven and earth.


    Although the mountain ghost could sense that Ji Yuenian''s Heart Fire was burning, she didn''t know that his Heart Fire was dark, so she didn''t take it seriously at all. After all, even if this mortal ignited his Heart Fire by chance, he was still an ant that could be crushed to death in front of the mountain ghost of the upper realm.


    But if she learned about this, she would definitely kill Ji Yuenian without any hesitation!


    "Qing Yan, what''s the point of urging me to come with such a hurried spell?"


    The gust of wind blew up, and a purple-black demon cloud came out from the mountain forest, and condensed into the figure of a purple-robed man in front of the mountain ghost, Qing Yan.


    The mountain ghost crushed the demonic spell in her hand quite casually and said softly, "Mo Yuan, you and I live next to each other in the northwest of the Qingluan Mountain, but we have not had a few complete face to face meetings, so this time I naturally asked my old neighbor to talk." S?a??h th? ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    The man turned his head and glanced at Ji Yuenian not far away from them, then turned around and laughed, "This statement is really ridiculous, we are all captured by the Egret demon king and imprisoned here. Our fate is already doomed. Even if you are lucky enough to survive and be my neighbor for thousands of years, there is nothing to talk about."


    The mountain ghost, Qing Yan, flicked her sleeves, and a breeze rose from her fingertips out of thin air. Ji Yuenian was swept in front of the two without any resistance. The aura of flesh and blood in the demon''s sense of smell was magnified hundreds of times, making the purple-robed man gulp down involuntarily.


    "Mo Yuan, since you were taken to the Qingluan Mountain, you haven''t tasted human flesh for many years, have you? This person was specially raised by me, and I called you this time to share it together,"


    Qing Yan''s tone was flat, looking at Ji Yuenian as if gazing at a livestock.


    Mo Yuan''s eyes trembled slightly, looking down at Ji Yuenian, a fierce yellow-brown light bloomed from it, making the boy tremble subconsciously, and the dark Heart Fire above his soul burned more and more intensely.


    Mo Yuan was a demon wolf incarnation, and his cultivation at this time was similar to that of the mountain ghost, Qing Yan. However, Qing Yan had an illusory spiritual body, and it seemed that she intended to hide her cultivation in front of the demon wolf, Mo Yuan. Therefore, at this moment, the cultivation of Qing Yan in Mo Yuan''s eyes was still the initial stage of the True Dao Realm like from previous hundreds of years.


    Licking his lips, Mo Yuan said in a low voice, "Qing Yan, if you have something to say, you can say it directly, you don''t need to be so secretive."


    Obviously, he didn''t think the mountain ghost Qing Yan would be so kind that she would invite him to share a meal of a rare human in the Qingluan Mountain for no reason.


    Qing Yan chuckled lightly and said, "I created a magic spell by myself a few days ago, and if I continue to deduce it, this magic spell may be able to break the Heavenly Furnace Barrier in the Qingluan Mountain, but if I use my own power to cast this magic spell, it may not work, so I need your help. If I can get out of this cage, I will definitely lead you out as soon as possible."


    "Don''t joke around." Mo Yuan was startled for a moment, and then he laughed loudly, "The Heavenly Furnace Barrier was set up by the Egret demon king himself, and even the Xuanyuan Spiritual Bell in the temple was used as the eye of the furnace. In the entire Qingluan Mountain, not to mention with your initial stage of True Dao Realm, even the creatures who have crossed the realm of karma, I am afraid will not be able to escape from such a cage."


    Qing Yan shook her head slightly, but her eyes were looking at the distant sky, where the sunset appeared golden red in the cloud filled sky.


    It was evening already..

 Ch. 5 - The Human Heart

    The smile on Mo Yuan''s face gradually faded. He stared at Qing Yan, whose face was expressionless, and said word by word, "How sure are you?""Less than ten percent," Qing Yan turned her head to look at him, the calmness in her eyes remained unchanged, but there was a slight hint of hope and desire in it.


    "Try it... It''s not bad, but if it is detected by the temple, then the two of us will be in danger," Mo Yuan calmed down and glanced at Qing Yan carefully. "How are you going to solve this matter?"


    The corners of her red lips were slightly raised, and she softly said, "A year ago, the person who guarded the Xuanyuan Spiritual Bell in the temple had been replaced by Chu Yuehe, the third disciple of the Egret demon king. He came to supervise Qingluan Mountain on behalf of the Egret demon king. Although this person has an excellent cultivation base, he can''t really command the guarding demon generals. I''ll be more careful, it shouldn''t be noticed by him,"


    Mo Yuan paced back and forth a few steps, glanced at Ji Yuenian once again, who seemed to have fainted on the ground, and said, ¡°It''s because I''m muddle-headed. Even the guards of the Qingluan Mountain have never noticed me. Although I don¡¯t know this Chu Yuehe, if you think about it, he wouldn¡¯t be as ruthless as the former guard at the ancient temple, Zhao Lun.¡±


    Zhao Lun was the direct descendant of the Egret demon king. In the past one hundred years since Zhao Lun had arrived, he had been the one who was in charge of the Qingluan Mountain on behalf of the Egret demon king.


    This person was extremely ruthless; he would take the monsters, spirits, and ghosts in the mountains at every turn, slaughter them privately, and use them as materials for pills, tools, etc., all of which were refined for his own use.


    It was just that because he was the blood descendant of the Egret demon king, most of the four demon generals that guarded around the Ancient Temple under the demon king turned a blind eye to him, and let him continue his wrong doings. He could cover the sky with one hand in the Qingluan Mountain.


    Chu Yuehe was completely incomparable to Zhao Lun. After all, he was only one of the many disciples of the Egret demon king. At this time, although he was in charge of the Xuanyuan Spiritual Bell at the center of the Ancient Temple, he could barely command the four demon generals. As for the secret use of the ghosts in the mountains, he did not even dare to think about it.


    "Brother Mo Yuan, what are you thinking?"


    Qing Yan used her yin energy, cut a deep wound on Ji Yuenian''s right arm, and bright red blood gushed out from it, causing the demon wolf Mo Yuan''s pupils to shrink, and his mouth and tongue became more and more dry.


    After thinking about it for a moment, Mo Yuan seemed to have made a decision, and said with a wide smile, "You bastard, you are very clever, I will accept this matter, but if you are lucky enough to escape, don''t forget to guide me out,"


    Most of the second half of the sentence was false, and both of them knew very clearly that once Qing Yan was able to break through the Heavenly Furnace Barrier, there was a great possibility that she would escape directly and never look back.


    And this human in front of him was the reward that Qing Yan would give to Mo Yuan to help her once.


    Mo Yuan transformed his hand, his fingers turned into claws, and he actually ripped off Ji Yuenian''s right arm!


    Blood spurted out from the right arm like a fountain. Ji Yuenian''s face was extremely pale, and extremely distorted under the pain, but he was still unable to let out the slightest wailing sound under the confinement of yin energy.


    The Heart Fire in his soul was now extremely rich, dark as ink, and burning.


    "Don''t kill him."


    Qing Yan frowned, looking at Ji Yuenian who fainted again due to excessive blood loss, waved her sleeves and swept out a dark yin energy, covering Ji Yuenian''s broken arm, stopping the blood.


    Crunch, crunch.


    After a few breaths, Mo Yuan threw the last piece of flesh and blood in his hand into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then swallowed it directly with a satisfied look on his face.


    His gaze, intentionally or unintentionally, looked at Ji Yuenian, who passed out from the loss of blood.


    "Mo Yuan," Qing Yan, who noticed Mo Yuan''s abnormality, frowned slightly, "This human is of great use to me when casting the magic spell. Help me complete the magic spell first."


    "Um?"


    Mo Yuan turned his head, a little bloody-red color appeared in his eyes.


    "Mo Yuan!" Qing Yan''s voice became cold.


    The bloody-red color in the purple-robed man''s eyes became more and more intense, and a breeze stirred up around him. In a moment, it turned into a violent demonic wind capable of overturning everything, and it swept out with a bang!


    "Idiot, you actually want to escape from Qingluan Mountain. Once detected by the temple, the two of us will die without a place to be buried!" Mo Yuan grabbed Ji Yuenian in his hands and laughed wildly, "Just a flesh and blood of a human, and you want me to share such a huge risk with you? Qing Yan, you really have a good plan!"


    Qing Yan''s face was cold, obviously she never expected Mo Yuan to change his face so quickly, but the next moment she slightly raised the corners of her lips and said, "Look at what you are holding?"


    Mo Yuan looked down, Ji Yuenian in his hand turned into countless white lights and dissipated, and the real Ji Yuenian slowly emerged at Qing Yan''s feet! S?a??h the N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Qing Yan was a mountain ghost and was best at playing illusionary spells. After Mo Yuan tore off Ji Yuenian''s right arm, Ji Yuenian was taken back to her side quietly by her.


    Mo Yuan''s complexion was a little ugly, and his yellow-brown eyes showed a hint of resentment as he gritted his teeth, "It''s just a human and it is harmless. But if you want to escape, I will definitely report to the Ancient Temple. If I report to the Ancient Temple, maybe it can be exchanged for hundreds of years of lifespan, which is also an unexpected joy."


    Hearing those words, Qing Yan''s face sank.


    "Why, are you afraid?" Mo Yuan said with a sullen smile, "Give this human to me, I will consider it, and help you hide it for the time being."


    The girl tapped her toes on the ground.


    Her figure slowly floated in the air, with a pale white halo lingering around her, and she coldly said, "I''m afraid that even if I hand it over to you, you won''t help me hide it. Well, this is my negligence. Although I have done all the calculations, I have never predicted the demon wolf Mo Yuan, who used to control a demon city by himself, at this time, has lost all his heart and soul. He is so useless like a dog, wagging his tail and begging for more time to live from the Ancient Temple."


    Mo Yuan''s complexion changed several times, and finally turned into a sneer with a little embarrassment and anger, "You actually want to attack me? A mountain ghost who¡¯s at the initial stage of True Dao Realm?¡±


    "Initial stage of True Dao Realm¡­ " Qing Yan murmured in a low voice, and between her sleeves, countless bright white lights gathered together, "Spiritual Curse."


    The Spiritual Curse! A spell that could only be cast by ghosts in the late stage of the True Dao Realm!


    "Late stage of True Dao Realm!"


    Mo Yuan''s eyes were slightly dark as he raised his head to look at the white light behind the girl, his hands turned into sharp claws, and he quickly pinched out several incomparably complicated claw runes. The monster''s huge body was firmly protected in it.


    The white light finally took shape completely, and condensed a ferocious giant claw that was more than ten feet wide. It swept down accompanied by the fierce howling wind and furiously grabbed Mo Yuan!


    Boom!


    The white light exploded, and Mo Yuan''s body was blown dozens of feet away, embedded at the base of the mountain, leaving the whole mountain in an eerie silence.


    The mountain ghost Qing Yan stood still in the air, and her expression did not slacken in the slightest.


    Mo Yuan was in the Late Stage of the True Dao Realm, and had the body of a real demon. Although her cultivation base also broke through to the Late stage of True Dao Realm not long ago, her main body was that of a mountain ghost that was relatively illusory. Even the manifestation of the mountain ghost dharma was weaker than that.


    Aww-ooh!


    The dull but ferocious wolf howls echoed all over the mountains.


    The base of the mountain trembled slightly, and from time to time, large pieces of gravel rolled down from it along with countless cracks, and it seemed that something terrifying was awakening within it.


    Boom!


    The crack finally spread to the limit, and the entire mountain completely burst apart.


    An incomparably huge figure gradually appeared amidst the smoke and dust.


    Standing more than seven feet tall, he had a black-armor encompassing his body, and his purple-black fur shone with hellish dark light with a tinge of purple. His monstrous head swayed slightly, and his mighty imposing power proved that this upper realm demon wolf finally showed his terrifying body.


    "Ignorant ghost, even if you have an upper hand in terms of cultivation base, you are just a ghost that can be crushed by the back of my palm!"


    The hoarse and dull voice turned into invisible sound waves, surging towards Qing Yan.

 Ch. 6.1 - Devouring

    Qing Yan raised her head, looked at the tall and huge body of the demon wolf, and frowned slightly. She knew very well that even if she showed the true form of a mountain ghost at this time, it would not be a wise choice to confront the demon wolf head-on, but now that the demon wolf was furious and mad, she had no better option.As the yin energy danced back, the mountain ghost¡¯s face gradually distorted, and her white dress was also ripped by the rapidly expanding body.


    After a few breaths, the beautiful and enchanting woman had completely transformed into a ferocious and terrifying mountain ghost. Under the waving six feet, nine arms, and two heads, the dark yin energy and the light white halo contrasted each other, appearing to be extraordinary.


    It was just that compared to the huge demon wolf with shocking momentum, the real body of the mountain ghost was not only a foot shorter, but its aura was even weaker, swaying between the line of illusory and realness, revealing the essence of its own emptiness.


    In fact, mountain ghosts couldn''t be counted as ghosts, but should be classified as spirits. However, most of the mountain ghosts born were full of grievances, and their spiritual powers were similar to ghosts. Therefore, such creatures were called mountain ghosts.


    The huge figure of the demon wolf took a step forward, and the ground trembled in response, while smoke and dust filled the sky.


    Although the mountain ghost never retreated, the aura of her dharma had weakened a little.


    If she had kept using spells and spiritual techniques to suppress this demon wolf from afar, Qing Yan might not have the chance to escape from the battle. And that was why after she broke through in her cultivation, she never left Qingluan Mounatin, due to her limited knowledge in spells and spiritual techniques. Apart from the spells originated from the Qingluan Mountain, she wasn''t familiar with most of the magic incantation and spells. It was very different from the rest of the ghosts and spirits, captured and imprisoned in Qingluan Mountain.


    At this time, using the mountain ghost''s body to fight the demon wolf''s body was tantamount to attacking the other''s strength with one''s own weakness, allowing him to take full advantage of the situation.


    The demon wolf''s pace became faster and faster, and after a few breaths, it walked before the mountain ghost''s dharma, and slapped its claws in the deafening roar!


    (T/N:- Dharma here may refer to their true form. For example, a mountain ghost''s true form has two heads while a demon wolf has the above traits.)


    Qing Yan could not take the attack head on, and could only retreat!


    The two huge heads of the mountain ghost trembled slightly at the same time. White light lingered between them, and her silhouette quickly retreated, narrowly avoiding his offensive attack.


    There was a trace of disdain in the demon wolf''s yellow-brown eyes, his movements were getting faster and faster. Raging up, his claws blazed with purple-black demonic light to attack and kill without mercy!


    While the mountain ghost dodged left and right, several smaller peaks around crumbled and shattered under the wolf''s claws, and the northwest corner of Qingluan Mountain was a mess.


    Under the conscious or unconscious tacit understanding, Ji Yuenian still did not suffer any aftermath at this time, his tightly closed eyelids trembled slightly.


    In the depths of his soul, a dark flame started to ignite.


    The boy''s eyes slowly opened, obscured by the darkness. He quietly watched the violent battle between two behemoths more than ten meters away. S~?a??h the ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    ''The mountain ghost Qing Yan, ate my left arm, while the demon wolf ate my right arm.''


    With jet-black flame reflected in his pupils, he leaned on a rock, and sensed the huge influx of information carried within the wisp of Heart Fire.


    Heart Fire was usually red, and it was the source of spiritual cultivation. However, his Heart Fire was pitch-black. In ancient records, this kind of Heart Fire was called Psychic Karma Fire.


    There were countless living beings between heaven and earth, but there was only one in a billion who could awaken the Psychic Karma Fire.


    As for the difference between the Psychic Karma Fire and the ordinary Heart Fire... Ji Yuenian raised his head slightly and looked at the huge body of the mountain ghost.


    The mountain ghost Qing Yan was an illusory spirit body. At this time, under the pressure of the demon wolf¡¯s body, it was gradually getting suppressed, and there was no room for her to fight back.


    "How dare you attack me? I thought you really had the ability." The demon wolf stopped, looked at the mountain ghost who was dodging in an awkward manner, and a sneer crept up on his mouth, "Today, I will capture you and take you to the Ancient Temple to exchange for my hundreds of years of life!"


    After the words were finished, the demon wolf opened its bloody mouth full of sharp teeth and let out a heart rending roar!


    Roar!


    The sound waves condensed into a beam, shone with back-purple demonic light, and gushed out from his mouth, sweeping towards the mountain ghost.


    The ferocious head of the mountain ghost also let out a roar of rage, and the purple-black demonic light was scattered away by half, but there was still a large half of the sound wave which remained unabated, it turned into dark purple chains, wrapped around the whole body of the mountain ghost, and bound her in place.


    "Still don''t want to bow down and surrender?"


    The demon wolf laughed loudly, and his huge demon body rose into the air, casting a large shadow on the ground and pouncing towards the mountain ghost.


    Qing Yan¡¯s thoughts were still too simple. After all, she had never left Qingluan Mountain. Although she was naturally intelligent, she never expected that the demon wolf who used to reign a demon city and at the Late stage of the True Dao Realm would be so greedy for life and afraid of death, not even willing to fight for a slim chance of survival.


    Even if she was lucky enough to break through the Heavenly Furnace Barrier, she would not necessarily turn back to lead the demon wolf, but if the situation allowed, she would not hesitate to help the demon wolf, but¡­ the thoughts of a creature could never be guessed, and this was her biggest miscalculation.


    The huge shadow of the demon wolf obscured the blue dome of heaven, and Qing Yan''s eyes dimmed. However, a very strange feeling suddenly surged in the depths of her mind, and out of the corner of her eyes, she subconsciously glanced at Ji Yuenian, who seemed to be still unconscious.


    ''Even if the demon wolf is repelled, this fellow would definitely report my creation of the barrier-breaking spell to the Ancient Temple. It is better to give up the dharma spiritual body and let it go!''


    In just a short while, the mountain ghost had made up her mind! Abandon the dharma spiritual body, retain only the origin of the ghost''s yin force, devour the soul of Ji Yuenian, and directly take the body away!


    Even so, she would completely lose her nine-armed, six-legged, and two-headed mountain ghost dharma body, and her cultivation would inevitably plummet, but she would be able to break free from the shackles of her own mountain ghost body in a certain way. At the same time, she could also get rid of the illusionary form.


    It was just... this method was too extreme and there were many consequences. If Qing Yan was as rational as the previous time, she would definitely not make such a decision.

 Ch. 6.2 - Devouring (2)

    The figure of the demon wolf finally pounced down, but the calmness of the mountain ghost made it tremble faintly from the bottom of his heart. The moment before bombarding the mountain ghost''s dharma, he subconsciously held back some of his strength.Boom! ! !


    The spiritual body of the mountain ghost completely exploded.


    The blazing white light swept across all directions. The entire northwest corner of the Qingluan Mountain turned into a flat ground, and the roar resounded through heaven and the earth.


    The mountain ghost who was at the Late Stage of the True Dao Realm had exploded her own spiritual body.


    Bong!


    The bell that shook the heavens and the earth sounded throughout the Qingluan Mountain, and there were two tyrannical figures who rushed towards the northwest corner from the Ancient Temple. Apparently, the accident in the northwest corner of the mountain range had attracted the attention of the Ancient Temple.


    Although the demon wolf''s body was thick and fleshy, it was also difficult to resist the full power of the spiritual body of the mountain ghost, who was also in the Late Stage of True Dao Realm. He was afraid that his demon body would suffer irreparable and terrible damage.


    Even so, his situation was not optimistic at this time. After the demonic light dissipated, the demon wolf turned into a purple-robed man again, sat cross-legged on the ground to regulate his breath with all his strength, and the aura around him was weakened to the extreme.


    Moreover, after Qing Yan''s dharma body exploded, the ghost''s yin energy source turned into a black light, which went straight into Ji Yuenian''s Jinggong acupuncture point.


    The Jinggong acupoint, located between the eyebrows, was where the souls of all living beings were located.


    As soon as she entered Ji Yuenian''s Jinggong acupuncture point, Qing Yan sensed something wrong.


    "Why is this boy''s soul so strangely quiet?"


    A group of brilliant light manifested into the appearance of an illusory and beautiful girl, walking slowly in the quiet darkness.


    "Where is this child''s divine soul origin? What about the ignited Heart Fire?"


    A few breaths later, the illusory girl''s face couldn''t help but show more doubts.


    The yin energy detection of the Late Stage of True Dao Realm swept out, but the feedback was only the boundless dark abyss.


    Suddenly, a little crimson flame appeared out of thin air in front of Qing Yan.


    "The fire in this person''s heart has finally ignited a while ago!"


    There was a hint of joy on Qing Yan''s face, and she wanted to urge the yin energy to devour the dim flame.


    But the flames did not change in the slightest under the perfusion of the yin energy, but the crimson color gradually faded and completely turned into pitch black!


    A circle of dazzling golden light lingered around the pitch-black flame, and it kept burning and flickering, increasing in intensity second by second.


    "Dark Heart Fire... This, this, could it be..."


    Qing Yan''s complexion changed dramatically, and she quickly recalled the records of the soul''s fire in the original memory, and a trace of horror and fear gradually appeared in her eyes.


    Under the flow of flames, a handsome young man in a satin robe condensed into a phantom, which was the manifestation of Ji Yuenian''s spirit.


    "Mountain ghost, you ate the flesh of my left arm raw, how did it taste?"


    At this time, Ji Yuenian''s arms were intact, long and jade-like. He was actually more than a head taller than the girl in white clothes.


    The boy''s eyes were calm, and she could not hear any emotional fluctuations in his calm tone.


    The mountain ghost, Qing Yan, had long since lost the ferocity and brutality of the past. With eyes full of horror, she said in a trembling voice, "You...you are a mere human, how could you possibly ignite a Psychic..."


    The young man flicked his sleeves, and a jet-black flame swept over, directly smashing Qing Yan''s head, and countless pure and extremely yin energy escaped and scattered within the soul domain.


    "Spare my life!"


    Qing Yan''s petite body trembled slightly, and after a while, a brand new head grew out of her neck. Before Ji Yuenian made another move, she had already hurriedly opened her mouth, her beautiful little face full of sincerity.


    Ji Yuenian lowered his gaze, staring at Qing Yan''s pitiful beautiful face, the girl''s clear eyes were now full of tears.


    "Didn''t you always want to escape from this mountain area, then I''ll be a good person and send you back to the afterlife?" The young man just waved his sleeves again, and the dark flames behind him spread towards Qing Yan, "In this way, you can be considered to have left Qingluan Mountain."


    "No! No!"


    Qing Yan''s little face was distorted to the extreme, and the terrifying triangular grimace of the mountain ghost loomed, letting out a shrill roar of resentment.


    Roar!


    The dark Heart Fire surged and engulfed the girl''s thin figure completely, and in a moment, it completely melted into a large mass of extremely pure yin energy, which escaped in the reflection of the golden light around the Heart Fire within his soul.


    How vast was the source of yin energy in the upper stage of True Dao Realm, it was far beyond what Ji Yuenian''s soul could absorb at this time. However, under the heat of the dark Heart Fire, these sources of yin energy have all settled down and were scattered in the depths of the soul, continuously enhancing Ji Yuenian''s divine soul.


    The burning Heart Fire gradually stabilized, and began to absorb the vitality of the heaven, the earth, the sun, and the moon through the Shengong acupoint, and a trace of Xuan light appeared around Ji Yuenian''s body.


    This means... he completely ignited the Heart Fire without any master, and broke through the first realm of spiritual cultivation, the Xuan Realm!


    "I was wrong just now. The Psychic Karma Fire can not only devour your soul, but even your true spirit will burn and melt. It seems that you have no chance of reincarnation."


    Ji Yuenian murmured in a low voice, and the phantom that appeared from his soul also disappeared into the darkness.


    The world was so vast and boundless that any bizarre thing could happen. Apart from being guided by a master to ignite their Heart Fire, there were only a few souls who had ignited their Heart Fire by themselves under various coincidences and had been able to cultivate.


    The demon wolf sat cross-legged not far away, while secretly adjusting his breath, he looked at Ji Yuenian who opened his eyes in disbelief.


    The young man opened and closed his eyes, and a trace of golden light gradually disappeared from his eyes.


    Countless pictures came one after another, and within a few breaths he recalled all the memories of this life.


    The Ji family was one of the several aristocratic families in the ancient city of Taichu. And he was the first descendant of Ji Hong, the head of the Ji family, and the eldest son of the Ji family. s?a??h th? ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.

 Ch. 7 - The Barrier of the Heavenly Furnace

    Ji Yuenian''s eyes were calm as he raised his head to look at the demon wolf."You have not been seized by that mountain ghost!?"


    The color of surprise in the demon wolf Mo Yuan''s eyes became more and more intense.


    He had already vaguely guessed the whereabouts of the mountain ghost''s origin yin energy in the previous episode, but at this time, Ji Yuenian''s cultivation in the initial stage of the Xuan Realm along with the unfamiliar aura of a living person emanating from him had already told Mo Yuan that the young man in front of him was not the mountain ghost Qing Yan.


    Ji Yuenian didn''t open his mouth to respond, and continued to look quietly at the demon wolf who was seriously injured and gasping for breath. The azure light of the Indestructible Body skill covered his whole body, and there was killing intent in his eyes.


    ¡®This demon wolf ate one of my arms.¡¯


    It was just... the demon wolf had the cultivation base of the late stage of the True Dao Realm. Although he was already seriously injured, it was not something that he could deal with at this time, and Ji Yuenian was very clear about this matter.


    After the dark Heart Fire helped him absorb the origin yin energy of the mountain ghost, most of the memories of the mountain ghost were also absorbed by Ji Yuenian¡¯s soul, so he knew the general realm of the beginning of the spiritual practice.


    From the Initial Xuan Realm, then the Late Xuan Realm, followed by the Initial Nascent Dao Realm and Late Nascent Dao Realm. And Initial True Dao Realm to Late True Dao Realm for the third stage.


    If the demon wolf Mo Yuan had not been seriously injured by the self-destruction of the mountain ghost''s spiritual body, then Ji Yuenian, who had never practiced any magic spells, could have been annihilated with just a flick of his hand.


    When the demon wolf Mo Yuan saw Ji Yuenian looking at him with such an unbridled gaze, his eyes couldn''t help but reveal an unparalleled fierce light, but his body did not dare to move at all.


    Because he clearly knew that the movement there had already disturbed the Ancient Temple, and in a short while, there would be a patrolling demon general who would arrive to inspect the vicinity. Not to mention that he was seriously injured, it was terrifying enough to think that the human could quietly make the mountain ghost Qing Yan disappear.


    "The Heavenly Furnace Barrier was created by the Egret demon king himself," Ji Yuenian retrieved his gaze from the demon wolf and looked at the sky beyond Qingluan Mountain, "And the function of this barrier is to imprison the demonic spirits and ghosts within the Qingluan Mountain. However, it does not have the slightest effect on the human race."


    While muttering in a low voice, Ji Yuenian glanced at the demon wolf Mo Yuan deeply, and without any hesitation, there was a faint azure light enveloping him as he went straight into the mountain forest, heading outside the Qingluan Mountain.


    This was the northwest corner of Qingluan Mountain, and it was only a short hundred feet away from the barrier of the Heavenly Furnace. In just a few dozen breaths, Ji Yuenian walked through the barrier of the Heavenly Furnace, and went out as if he didn''t feel it.


    The demon wolf''s aura locked around him with enormous imposing power, and he thought about trying to stop him several times and make a fierce attack, but the strange disappearance of the mountain ghost Qing Yan seemed to have become a huge boulder, casting a large shadow in his heart. So, after countless internal struggles, he gave up on his intention to attack him.


    A few breaths after Ji Yuenian''s disappearance, two long rainbow lights traversed from the sky far away towards the northwest corner of the Qingluan Mountain. The tyrannical aura overwhelmed both heaven and earth. Countless ghosts and spirits within the mountain range bowed their heads respectfully, not daring to stare, lest it might be taken as a show of disrespect.


    "Where is the nightmare ghost?" s?a??h th? N?velF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    The two figures finally reached the sky above the northwest corner of the Qingluan Mountain, and a solemn voice spread throughout the vast Qingluan Mountain range.


    A wisp of black energy condensed and emerged from the void, turning into a black-clothed young man with a gloomy complexion. He first glanced down at the demon wolf Mo Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged, and then bowed respectfully to the two above, saying, "Demon generals, the nightmare ghost is here."


    Boom!


    A big hand rapidly condensed from the void, directly grabbed the body of the nightmare ghost, and sucked out an infinite amount of origin ghost energy from it.


    The black-clothed young man appeared to be in boundless agony, his body trembled from time to time, but he didn''t dare to show any resistance.


    "Incompetent! The temple asked you to discipline the demons and ghosts on the west side of the Qingluan Mountain. Is that how you disciplined them?" The silver-armored demon general dispersed the evil spell of his hand, and after devouring the ghostly energy into a bell, he shouted coldly, "The ruckus of the fight here has reached the Ancient Temple, what the hell are you doing, you fool? Young Master Chu had just taken over the Qingluan Mountain. Could it be that you are trying to make things difficult for us!?"


    The nightmare ghost lowered his head, and his unchanging respectful tone echoed, "Demon general, nightmare ghost knows he''s wrong."


    The red-armored demon general snorted softly and said, "This is the final warning, if Young Master Chu''s cultivation is interrupted by this kind of crap again in the future, no matter who it is, I will directly list it as the next alchemy material."


    Although Chu Yuehe was not very influential for the time being, his identity was a real disciple of the Egret demon king. At this time, he was in charge of the Qingluan Mountain range for the first time, and these demon generals naturally didn''t want to make trouble with him. At least, not so openly. Therefore, in view of such a big movement in the northwest corner this time, the two demon generals personally came to inspect it in person.


    The black-clothed young man saluted again and said, "Nightmare understands."


    After saying that, he lowered his eyes, looking at the demon wolf Mo Yuan with naked killing intent.


    Although he was also a little confused about what happened, but, at this moment, the demon generals were already here, so it was too late to investigate, and it was better to send them away quickly.


    "Lord Nightmare and to the two demon generals, I have a message for you!"


    Mo Yuan''s body was slightly trembling as he talked.


    The nightmare ghost took a peek at the two demon generals standing still in the void, and seeing a trace of impatience on the silver-armored demon general''s face, he was alarmed, and immediately turned his head to scold it, "Evil thing, committing such a big crime and still not kneeling!"


    As he waved his sleeves, a black air permeated down, immersing in the depths of the demon wolf Mo Yuan''s soul, causing it to become sluggish in an instant.


    After a few short breaths, the demon wolf who had the strength of the late stage of the True Dao Realm, completely turned into countless black light spots and dissipated into the void.


    After the nightmare ghost put away all those black light spots, he bowed and stood still, daring not to say any more words.


    The silver-armored demon general was silent for a moment, and the silver demonic light surged around him, sensing all directions.


    "It''s hard to make such commotion alone, this demon wolf must have fought with the rest of the monsters to make such a big move," The other demon general chuckled.


    "Just now, I sensed a trace of the aura of an Initial stage Xuan Realm powerhouse walking towards the barrier of the Heavenly Furnace. And being able to penetrate the barrier, I think it must be a human being who strayed into Qingluan Mountain,"


    The nightmare ghost looked around, scrutinized the surrounding for a while, then raised his head and said, "Reporting to the demon generals, the one who fought against the demon wolf should be the mountain ghost Qing Yan with a True Dao Realm cultivation, but I couldn''t sense its aura at this time. Presumably, this ghost had already lost its soul."


    The silver-armored demon general snorted coldly, took back the silver light around him, and said, "Nightmare, I don''t care how these pill materials fight. In short, it''s because of your lack of discipline. If there is another time, you will also follow him!"


    The black-clothed young man trembled slightly, and spoke an apology in a low voice.


    When the two demon generals were about to leave, the nightmare ghost raised his head again and asked, "Demon generals, should we chase after the Initial stage Xuan Realm human who left the Qingluan Mountain?"


    Boom!


    The silver-armored demon general flicked his hand and condensed a giant starlight hand, which directly crushed most of the nightmare ghost''s body into pieces, and countless extremely pure ghost energy escaped, filling the area.


    "Nightmare, you are barely my subordinate, and when did you become so stupid?" The silver-armored demon general said indifferently, and looked down at the black-clothed boy who had recombined his body, "You still have pill material as your identity now, can you get out of the heavenly furnace? Or, do you mean to let us demon generals personally go and hunt down an ant in the Initial stage of Xuan Realm?"


    The red-armored demon general reached out his hand to stop the silver-armored demon general who was about to continue his attack, he shook his head, and said, "You don''t need to care about the ant. Nightmare ghost, as patrolling demon generals, we have a lot of things to do. If we have to kill every soul that accidentally wandered into the Qingluan Mountain then I am afraid that we will not be able to rest,."


    The silver-armored demon general glanced at the nightmare ghost coldly, turned into a light of rainbow, and went away.


    "Thank you, Lord Red-Armored Demon General, for your help."


    The black-clothed young man lowered his head and spoke respectfully.


    The red-armored demon general gradually turned indifferent, as if he had changed into a different person, and said, "Cut out half of the origin ghost energy for me."


    "What!? This..."


    The nightmare ghost''s complexion changed dramatically, and his body trembled. But, under the eyes of the red-armored demon general, he gradually shriveled, and his lowered eyes were full of resentment and despair.


    "Why? You don''t want to?" The red-armored demon general asked softly.


    "I... I want to,"


    Nightmare clenched his teeth and endured the severe pain of tearing his soul. He stretched out his hand and took out a large mass of dark, ink-like origin ghost energy from his head. Gradually, his body became more and more illusory, and appeared as if it would collapse at any moment.


    The red-armored demon general grabbed the origin ghost energy, snorted coldly, turned into a crimson brilliance, and headed towards the Ancient Temple.


    "Hateful, hateful! The demon wolf, the mountain ghost, and the ant human race, you all deserve to die!"


    The nightmare ghost''s eyes were extremely malicious, his figure gradually faded, and finally it turned into a black mist, completely disappearing into the forest.

 Ch. 8 - Borrowing Hands to Bait the Imposter

    Nighttime.The moonlight was dim, and the flickering snow swirled at every corner, enveloping the entire night sky.


    "Master, hurry up and come back inside the house. It''s very chilly in this cold weather. You¡¯re always standing here, but waiting is not a solution."


    The woman was about thirty years old, wearing a brown and red brocade embroidered skirt with intricate patterns. She carefully put a gorgeous mink fur on the man standing quietly under the eaves. Her timid gaze carried a trace of anxiety and concern.


    That snow was not just any ordinary snow. Even if a cultivator accidentally touched some of it, he had to worry about cold air infiltrating his body.


    The man looked cold and solemn, and the snow between his eyebrows seemed to be thicker than the layer that covered the exterior of the house.


    He stretched out his hand to straighten the thick mink fur, but his eyes still did not fluctuate at all. Through the two main gates that opened dozens of feet away, he stared motionlessly at the dozens of figures that flickered and disappeared under the moonlight.


    "Master, don''t worry too much and take care of your health first," The woman''s concern didn''t seem to be fake as she continued to change his mind, "Commander Xu Jianghe personally lead people to search for him, and he will be able to find Nian''er soon."


    "Shut up!"


    The man turned his head abruptly, the cold light in his eyes swept across the fair and pretty face of the woman, causing her to shudder violently, and she unconsciously knelt on the ground.


    "Master, concubine... this concubine is really worried about Nian''er''s safety, Master, you..."


    Slap! s?a??h th? N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    The woman staggered by the sudden slap, and there was a bright red handprint smudged on the left side of her face. There was even a trace of blood oozing out of her normally pampered face.


    "If Nian''er really died in the Qingluan Mountain, I would chase you and your daughter out of my Ji family!"


    The man was like a raging lion, and even some trace of blood appeared in his eyes. Apparently, he was extremely furious.


    "Nian''er has more than a dozen Ji family''s military guards by his side, how could he disappear in the Qingluan Mountain so silently? It must be you, the poisonous woman, who is not willing to let Ji Quexue be mediocre and wants to get her the position granted by the Ancient City of Taichu to Ji''s family. That''s why you set such a trap to murder Nian''er!"


    The woman knelt on the ground, covered her face and sobbed. Tears kept streaming down like beads with broken threads, and even soaked the intricate and gorgeous brocade sleeve robe.


    As the wife of Ji Hong, the head of the Ji family, she had been serving him carefully for more than ten years, keeping everything in the Ji family in good order, which was highly praised both inside and outside the Ji family.


    Although she was very envious of Ji Yuenian''s irreplaceable position in Ji''s family, she never dared to act rashly. Even Ji Quexue, the daughter of Ji''s family who was born to Ji Hong, was also cowardly in front of Yuenian, and there had never been a situation where the direct descendants of the patriarchs of the other several families in the Ancient City of Taichu competed with each other.


    Not long ago, Hexuan Shangzhen, who was the ruler of the Ancient City of Taichu, passed down the first edict after he was stationed here for more than 30 years. The most powerful sect in the Yuan Yan land, the Tai Yu Sheng Sect, would open its doors and recruit disciples from the 19 ancient cities under its rule for the outer sect of the Tai Yu Sheng Sect.


    The several cultivator families entrenched in the Ancient City of Taichu were extremely wealthy, and they were usually very filial to Hexuan Shangzhen. So, this time, it was only logical that they each got a position to enter the outer sect of the Tai Yu Sheng Sect without examination. Naturally, the position fell to the Ji family''s eldest son, Ji Yuenian, without any suspense.


    Whether a living soul could cultivate or not depended on the Heart Fire, and whether the Heart Fire could really ignite depended not only on the blood relation, but also to the cultivation resources acquired later in life. Therefore, the descendants of a cultivation family had almost never had the worry of not being able to ignite the Heart Fire.


    The woman raised her head with tears in her eyes, her lips trembling slightly, but she couldn''t say a word.


    Although Ji Yuenian was lost in the Qingluan Mountain, it was not her doing, but she knew very well that it was impossible for Ji Hong to listen to her explanation with his character. If Ju Yuenian could not be found, she and Ju Quexue would really be thrown out of the house!


    With this thought, the woman crawled and knelt down touching Ji Hong''s feet, and said in a trembling voice, "Master, I really didn''t do it, it''s really not me, Master!"


    Ji Hong squatted down and gently supported the woman''s trembling shoulders, his eyes were full of indifference, "For a whole day, there was no news about Nian''er. Those old immortals from the Ji Family Elders Association are related to the Ji family. All the ghosts and snakes(TN//- Side parties who wants to take the share out of the pie) jumped out, and Xu Jianghe, who left now, was already the fourth wave sent to look for Ji Yuenian. I only have two blood descendants in the Ji family, Nian¡¯er and Ji Quexue, and Ji Quexue is a woman.¡±


    After hearing this, the woman subconsciously stopped shaking. She was not stupid, and she was even very smart in some aspects. At this time, under the flow of her thoughts, she could figure out what was going on in an instant, but her complexion was even more difficult to look at.


    If the eldest son Ji Yuenian really died in the Qingluan Mountain where the rumored demons ran rampant, the huge pressure shouldered by Ji Hong was beyond her imagination.


    There were many collateral factions in the Ji family, and these collateral forces were intertwined. Although Ji Hong was the patriarch and held the position of second elder of the Ji Family Elders Association, he couldn''t completely control all the collateral forces of the Ji family.


    "Think about it, if Nian''er disappears completely, who will be granted the position given by Hexuan Shangzhen?"


    Ji Hong gradually put away the coldness in his eyes, and his tone became much softer.


    The woman said in a trembling voice, "Ji Baiyu, who is only one year younger than my son! It''s the Great Elder, Ji Luoyan! It must be Ji Luoyan who bribed the guards around Nian''er and brought him into the Qingluan Mountain!"


    Ji Hong looked at her silently, without saying a word.


    "Master, what do you mean," The woman looked a little dazed, "Let me and Quexue confess this crime?"


    "Ji Luoyan is the Great Elder, and his power within the Ji family is second only to that of mine, the patriarch," Ji Hong remained expressionless, "If I can''t find Nian''er at this time, even if I confront him directly, there will be no benefit to speak of. In fact, it will let Ji Luoyan seize control and take the opportunity to send Ji Baiyu to the stage."


    The woman was sobbing, unable to utter a word.


    "Lian''er, I have wronged you. Let''s go out and hide for a while." Ji Hong''s voice sounded in her ears.


    The woman''s body trembled slightly, but she was stunned in place.


    Over the years, no matter how good or careful she was, she had never received a single compliment from Ji Hong.


    And just now, he actually called her ¡®Lian''er¡¯.


    "Master, you..."


    "Don''t worry, after Xu Jianghe returns tomorrow, I will take the opportunity to get angry at you and Ji Quexue, and then secretly send the two of you to a safe place. After that, I will take this opportunity to support the third house in the top position. It will not leave any opportunity for Ji Luoyan."


    Ji Hong stood up and turned around, but a cold light flashed in his eyes unbeknownst to the woman.

 Ch. 9 - Azure Spiritual Shield

    "Master, I... I''ll do it,"The woman slowly stood up with her back facing Ji Hong, her voice was much calmer, but her shoulders trembled imperceptibly.


    ''Even if I don¡¯t want to, what can I do?''


    Ji Hong was not discussing with her at all, and she had no room for resistance to such a fate.


    Ji Hong nodded, took off the mink fur from his body, stepped forward, and put it lightly on the woman''s body. He stared at her with evasive eyes and said, "Okay, I''ll go to the Third House first."


    After saying this, he didn''t wait for the woman to speak, turned around and walked into the snowstorm.


    "Master, I didn''t expect you to be so ruthless, even ignoring Quexue''s life." The woman looked at Ji Hong''s disappearing figure, the tenderness and attachment in her eyes slowly faded, replaced by an indescribable determination, "It''s okay if I die, but Quexue... she must live on!"


    She knew very well that once the crime of murdering the eldest son was really determined, the mother and daughter would have no way to survive in the Ji family.


    Now that she thought about it, Ji Hong''s appearance when he swore just now was really ridiculous.


    As if she had made some kind of determination, the woman''s expression no longer had the cowardice and timidness shown earlier. She walked out quickly without looking back, and her thin figure gradually disappeared under the heavy snow.


    ¡­¡­.


    The dark spring night was cold, and the deep bamboo and osmanthus were extremely fragrant.


    Passing through the Heavenly Furnace Barrier that encompassed the entire Qingluan Mountain, what Ji Yuenian saw was a beautiful lush and gorgeous mountain scenery.


    The living creatures in Qingluan Mountain were almost extinct, but this place was completely different.


    Butterflies danced, and the fragrance of plants and flowers drifted towards his nose, along with the whistling gentle breeze. It was like a paradise isolated from the entire world.


    Ji Yuenian walked dozens of feet away when a soft voice reached his ear, "Young Master, stay!"


    He turned his head to the side, but there was no one in sight, and he couldn''t help but raise a little bit of vigilance, and silently chanted ''The Cultivation Manual Of The Secret Supernatural Skill - Indestructible Body''. The rich azure Xuan energy flowed out from his Shengong acupuncture point, turning into dazzling azure light, and spread all over the thirty-six acupoints of his body.


    This was the difference between the cultivator with the cultivation of the Initial Stage of the Xuan Realm and ordinary mortals.


    Before the Heart Fire was ignited, he could not take the initiative to mobilize this magical body protection skill, but now that he had broken into the Initial Stage of the Xuan Realm, he could take the initiative and urge this magical power which, more or less, had some protective power.


    "Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"


    The soft voice became clearer and clearer, but Ji Yuenian turned a deaf ear to it. Moreover, his steps moved faster and faster.


    This was the edge of the Qingluan Mountain, and without even thinking about it, he could conclude that this voice was from a spiritual demonic ghost.


    "I told you to stop!"


    The gentle and pleasant voice suddenly became sharp and piercing, carrying an unspeakable resentment in it.


    Ji Yuenian stopped, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.


    Just now, he keenly sensed a strange aura from the Late Stage of the Xuan Realm powerhouse, and this aura... was right under his feet!


    Boom! s?a??h th? N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    More than a dozen twisted vines with barbed thorns rolled out from the soil and quickly twisted around Ji Yuenian.


    "Azure Spiritual Shield."


    Ji Yuenian flicked his sleeves, and an azure light blossomed out from his body, condensing a blazing translucent azure light shield, which firmly protected him.


    But at the same time, all the azure Xuan energy accumulated in his Shengong acupoint was completely consumed, the dark Psychic Karma Fire was also extremely dim, and it seemed that it would be completely extinguished at any time.


    ''The Cultivation Manual Of The Secret Supernatural Skill - Indestructible Body'' was an extremely miraculous body protection manual. With his superficial cultivation in the Initial Stage of Xuan Realm, he would not have been able to perform even the most basic protection spell without the support of the Heart Fire.


    Even after forcibly performing this spell, Ji Yuenian still felt dizzy, and a sharp pain came again from his brow.


    Those twisted vines shattered the moment they touched the azure light, and the shield became more transparent, as if it would burst and collapse at any moment.


    The shrill hissing sound pervaded his eardrum, but Ji Yuenian''s eyes were calm, and he pushed his Heart Fire to the limit, trying with all his strength to sense the true location of the demon.


    The Demonic Tree in the Late Stage of the Xuan Realm was limited by its physique, so it was not really strong, and at most a little stronger than a new-born spiritualized demon.


    As long as one could find the location of its hidden body, he could directly use Xuan energy to crush it.


    "A mortal who just ignited the Heart Fire has such a wonderful body protection secret," The resentful hissing sound came again, and it became more and more piercing, "It''s a pity that it has no use to me!"


    Ji Yuenian shook his head and said softly, "It''s hopeless for a stupid monster like you that grew up in the mountains."


    Although such a Demonic Tree had intelligence, almost all of its knowledge came from the original memory after turning into a demon, and in essence, it was naive and simple in some aspects.


    If it were a smarter monster, after it saw Ji Yuenian walk out of the Heavenly Furnace Barrier, possessing such a miraculous magic trick, it would not dare to attack directly with such carelessness.


    "You actually... called me stupid?"


    The sharp voice paused for a while, then roared more and more violently, and more than 30 twisted vines broke out from all directions, wriggling towards Ji Yuenian!


    "Sure enough, I found you."


    Ji Yuenian let out a low laugh. With his azure Xuan energy, which had recovered a little, he jumped a few meters in front of him, and the slender and pale fingertips lit up with a black flame that plunged straight into the mud.


    Boom!


    The bursting azure light exploded. It swept across all directions, and the injured Demonic Tree was dug out, accompanied by a sound of resentment and a roar that gradually distorted and toned down.


    "How dare you! You..." Its voice stopped abruptly.


    Ji Yuenian fell to the ground, his already fair complexion became even paler, but the corners of his soft lips evoked a slight smile.


    Just when the dark flames devoured the Demonic Tree, an incomparably rich green demonic energy flowed up along his fingertips, passing through the two major acupoints which were Shenque and Jianggong, and finally converged at the Shengong Acupoint located at the center of his eyebrows. Inside, it was completely devoured by the Psychic Karma Fire.


    The Heart Fire of a living being was the foundation of cultivation. Once one cultivated it to the Late stage of the Xuan Realm, all the accumulated Xuan energy could be completely condensed with the help of the Heart Fire, and it could be refined into a Xuan sea.


    Once the Xuan sea was refined, the Xuan energy would be transformed into Xuan energy that would be more powerful with less consumption rate. From then on, the Xuan energy would form its own cycle within the Xuan sea and would never end.


    However, Ji Yuenian''s Psychic Karma Fire was a mutant Heart Fire that only existed in one in aof a billion. This fire not only allowed living beings to start refining the Xuan sea at the Initial Stage of Xuan Realm, but also transformed part of the power of other living souls for its own use!


    The most terrifying thing was that the Heart Fire of ordinary creatures couldn''t be easily used to kill the enemy. It required some extremely special techniques to use the power of the Heart Fire. Most of the time, the Heart Fire was passively used as athe source of cultivation.


    However, the Psychic Karma Fire could differentiate into traces of pitch-black flames, which had a miraculous effect of suppressing, sealing, and devouring.


    After the Demonic Tree was annihilated, all the remaining pure origin demonic energy was captured by the Psychic Karma Fire, and about 20% of the Demonic Tree''s power was gradually devoured by the Psychic Karma Fire and transformed into pure Xuan energy, which accumulated in the Shengong Acupoint.

 Ch. 10 - The Half-Step True Dao Realm

    It was the time during which the sky was shrouded in darkness.The hazy moon that hung above the boundless sky, casted an everlasting dazzling silver light toward the infinite territory of North Lu continent.


    Ji Yuenian slightly opened his eyes, stood up, and the little azure light gradually disappeared from his eyes.


    This time, he had accumulated a lot of Xuan energy in the Shengong acupoint, and because Ji Yuenian only practiced ''The Cultivation Manual Of The Secret Supernatural Skill - Indestructible Body'', all these supposedly colorless profound strengths showed an azure blue color. The color gathered around the Heart Fire and continuously flickered.


    The Heart Fire was attached to the soul of a living being and couldn''t be shaken no matter if it was extinguished or burnt. The Heart Fire in the Shengong acupuncture point was only its virtual image.


    Before the Xuan Sea was refined, the Xuan energy was only rootless sources, and the supply would dry up if used. Moreover, there were many dangers around the vicinity. Although the Demonic Tree had already been crushed, if he continued to go outside, he would not know what demon or monster he would encounter next.


    Therefore, it took so long for Ji Yuenian to recover, which not only stabilized the flames of the Heart Fire, but also transformed 20% of the Demonic Tree''s power that had been devoured, melting it into his own Xuan energy. This triggered his Initial stage of the Xuan Realm cultivation base to become more and more stable.


    Under the bright moonlight, Ji Yuenian lowered his head slightly and quietly looked at his pale palms which seemed to have completely lost the blood in it.


    These were not his own arms, but two phantom arms that were temporarily manifested by the Xuan energy under the blessing of Psychic Karma Fire.


    When the mountain ghost had perished, not only did its soul had been destroyed, but even its true spirit had dissipated, while the demon wolf... still lived well within the Qingluan Mountain.


    Obviously, Ji Yuenian did not know that the demon wolf had been crushed to death by the Nightmare Ghost. S~?a??h the N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    The young man pondered for a moment, and the coldness in his eyes became more intense, almost condensing into the thin air. Without saying a word, he hid his hands under the silk sleeves and satin robes. Under the frosty moonlight, he moved towards the outer perimeters of Qingluan Mountain.


    ¡­¡­


    Boom!


    This was the first time that Zhao Xiaoyun had been so maddened during his study.


    Several good-looking young maids stood around the corner at a loss. Looking at the mess on the ground, no one dared to move.


    With a fierce flick of his moon-white wide sleeved robe, Zhao Xiaoyun turned around with a gloomy expression on his face. "A bunch of trash, did you not find any news yet?"


    Several maids looked at each other and stared blankly. No one dared to utter a single word under his imposing power.


    Zhao Xiaoyun walked towards the window, and silently looked down at the hustle and bustle of the Ancient City of Taichu.


    The Ancient City of Taichu was incomparably huge. Even if he looked out from his study room, he could see a glimpse of a corner of this 10,000-year-old giant city.


    After a while, a petite maid barged inside the room in a hurry. She quickly stepped forward and softly said, "Second young master."


    Zhao Xiaoyun turned around, his expression was masked into calmness unlike his former expression. "Speak."


    The personal maid secretly looked at Zhao Xiaoyun''s face, and her voice subconsciously went softer, "Second young master, Xu Jianghe, the commander of the Ji family''s house, returned to Ji''s house a stick of incense ago. According to the intel, Xu Jianghe has not... not found young master Ji Yuenian."


    Having said that, she was already mentally prepared for Zhao Xiaoyun to fly into a rage again.


    To everyone''s astonishment, Zhao Xiaoyun just waved his hand gently, and his calm voice lacked any emotions. "I understand, you all go out."


    The maids and servants did not dare to go against his orders, and they all went out one after another.


    "Second young master." When the personal maid saw the rest of the people walking out, her petite body inched closer to Zhao Xiaoyun. "I have a secret message here."


    "Speak."


    "Young master Ji Yuenian''s incident may have something to do with Ji Luoyan, the first elder of the Ji family."


    The maid used her Dao energy of the Late stage of the Xuan Realm, and suppressed her voice into a stream of silent whispers, "And... just now, Ji Hong, the head of the Ji family, and Ji Luoyan, the Great Elder, had a lot of disputes because of the quota Hexuan Shangzhen gave to the Ji family."


    "It must be that Ji Luoyan, making a mess! How can he take his cousin''s place with that trash Ji Baiyu?"


    "They didn''t dare to kill their cousin directly, because they were afraid that the soul-inducing spell would reveal the person who attacked at the end, so they sent their cousin into the Qingluan Mountain, where there¡¯s a Heavenly Furnace Barrier laid by a tyrannical demon, which can isolate the spell''s tracing!"


    Zhao Xiaoyun could not control the anger in his heart any longer. He smashed the sandalwood case table beside him with his backhand, and his body trembled with incomparably rich and pure energy.


    The personal maid stepped forward gently, and comforted him for a while before Zhao Xiaoyun barely calmed down.


    There were countless ordinary people in the Ancient City of Taichu. These ordinary people accounted for 99% of the total population in the Ancient City of Taichu.


    But in fact, the powers in charge of the Ancient City of Taichu were actually from a few cultivation families.


    The cultivation families controlled the huge Ancient City of Taichu, harvesting all the resources that were helpful for cultivation, so that the talents within the family could ignite their Heart Fire and step into the path of cultivation.


    With the blessing of ancestral blood, coupled with the continuous supply of cultivation resources, almost every cultivation family had one or two talents which ignited their Heart Fire.


    And Ji Yuenian, the eldest son of the Ji family, was the most dazzling person in the cultivation family of Ji.


    At the age of six, he ignited his Heart Fire, broke through to the Late stage of the Nascent Dao Realm at the age of eight, and cultivated to the half-step True Dao Realm at the age of fifteen.


    Even Hexuan Shangzhen, who oversaw the Ancient City of Taichu, had spoken to him several times.


    The Ancient City of Taichu was one of the nineteen ancient cities under the rule of Tai Yu Sheng Sect. After tens of thousands of years of reproduction, the human race was so numerous that it was impossible to count.


    Nonetheless, there were very few people who could ignite the Heart Fire before entering the sect, and even directly cultivated to the realm of half-step True Dao.


    Most of the mortals who had exhausted their efforts to pass the examination, and enter the Tai Yu Sheng Sect had never even ignited their Heart Fire.


    Although it was easier for the blood descendants of several noble families to ignite their Heart Fire than ordinary people, there were not even half of them in the Ancient City of Taichu, like Ji Yuenian who had broken through the realms one after another.


    The maid walked out of Zhao Xiaoyun''s study, looked back at the second son of the Zhao family who sat quietly on the couch, and sighed softly.


    There was also another secret news but she dared not and couldn''t tell the second young master. She could only go and report to the Zhao family''s patriarch and wait for his decision. After all, the Zhao family was not prosperous, and the Zhao family''s patriarch had only one relative, Ji Yuenian, in the Ji family, and was his only dear nephew.


    This news was extremely terrifying, it just came out from the Chu family, and she could not tell whether it was true or not. But whether the matter was real or not, as the only maid in the Zhao family with a very special identity, she was determined not to dare hide anything from the Zhao family''s patriarch.


    An elder of the Chu family who was in the initial stage of True Dao Realm had inadvertently sensed that there was a human powerhouse in the upper stage of the Nascent Dao Realm outside the Qingluan Mountain, who was completely crushed by a creature in the late stage of True Dao Realm. It erased his Heart Fire, cultivation, and even memory, then threw him into the Heavenly Furnace Barrier.


    At that time, he did not think much about it, he just thought it was a demon playing tricks to kill practitioners who passed by, so he fled far away.


    Until the day before yesterday, when the Ji family reported that the son of Ji Hong was missing, the Chu family elder could only think of it.

 Ch. 11 - Ghost Energy, Heavy Rain Encompassing the Sky

    It must not be long before this matter would spread to the ears of the Ji family. Several big families in the Ancient City of Taichu were also gloating at their misfortune, watching the affairs of the Ji family in secret.The night was getting colder and colder, and not long after that, raindrops fell down.


    When the rain poured heavily, the full moon still hung high in the sky.


    The bright white moonlight shone through the rain curtain, adding a strange paleness to the medieval Taoist Temple on the edge of the mountain.


    Ji Yuenian dissipated some of the Xuan energy covering his head, and once again looked back at the increasingly dense night rain, then pushed open the tattered door of the main hall of the Taoist Temple, and walked in.


    This rain was not ordinary rain. S?a?ch* Th? N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Even if he had the cultivation base of the initial stage of the Xuan Realm at this time, if he forcibly walked through the rain, he was afraid that all his Xuan energy would be exhausted after just a stick of incense, and even the Heart Fire would be extinguished.


    The phenomena of thunder, frost, rain, snow, etc. between heaven and earth was unusual.


    However, to avoid it was not difficult, mortal beings only needed to devoutly worship the gods of the earth and heaven in their region, and take more care to hide in time when the celestial phenomenon descended, then they would not suffer from its erosion.


    In fact, the various celestial phenomena that appeared from time to time were just one of the countless means by which the inaccessible Forbidden Kingdom of the 33rd heaven collected faith.


    "Demon? Ghost? Or human?"


    A panicked voice was heard.


    Ji Yuenian closed the heavy and dilapidated gate of the temple, and when he turned around, he realized that there were already several people in this Taoist Temple.


    The person who just opened his mouth was a well-built man with a solemn expression.


    The other two people in the Taoist Temple were a pair of fair and clean children about four or five years old. Their eyes held vigilance beyond words.


    An ordinary person, and two Demonic Tree who were born not long ago.


    Ji Yuenian made a judgment in an instant.


    Seeing that Ji Yuenian was silent, the well-built man could not help but panic even more. He backhanded himself and pulled out a fine iron longsword in front of him. He forced himself to calm down and said, "No matter what you are, I have nothing against you. There are two stupid little demons over there, eat them if you want to eat them!"


    Although he seemed calm on the surface, he had already cursed in his heart. The Qingluan Mountain really lived up to its reputation. Even before he entered it, he was already lost early on the edge of the mountain.


    Not long ago, he escaped from the claws of an evil tiger that was about to turn into a demon, and then encountered this terrible night rain. As a last resort, he found a Taoist Temple here to avoid troubles. Who knew that he would run into two little demons head-on. Fortunately, these two tree demon spirits looked a little stupid and had no intention of attacking, otherwise he would not survive tonight.


    Naturally, Ji Yuenian did not know the messy thoughts in the mind of the sturdy man at this time. He just felt a little funny, shook his head, and said, "I''m not a demon, nor a ghost."


    The well-built man was slightly relieved when he heard the words, but the hand holding the sword did not relax at all.


    A dark wind blew again.


    "Be careful!" A Demonic Tree called out anxiously, wrinkling its white and tender face.


    Ji Yuenian sensed it early. He jumped towards the inner area of the temple, and left the temple gate at that moment.


    The raging ghostly wind passed through the gap in the hall door, whirled into the hall, gradually condensed and entangled at the position where Ji Yuenian stood earlier, and after a few breaths, turned into a beautiful black-clothed girl.


    The black-clothed girl looked indifferent, glanced coldly at Demonic Tree who had just spoken, then looked at Ji Yuenian, and said in a hoarse voice, "You came out of the Heavenly Furnace Barrier, can you tell me what¡¯s inside? Are the rumors true that the Qingluan Mountain, which is shrouded by the Heavenly Furnace Barrier, is a holy place for demons, spirits, and ghosts to cultivate?"


    The Qingluan Mountain was located thousands of miles west of the Ancient City of Taichu. Due to the existence and obstruction of the Heavenly Furnace, it had always been extremely mysterious, and very few people knew its true appearance.


    Although human beings were not blocked by the barrier of the Heavenly Furnace, they also vaguely knew that there was an extremely tyrannical monster in it, so they had always kept a distance from this place. Only the numerous weak and small local spirits and monsters within the territory of hundreds of miles around the Qingluan Mountain had an inexplicable yearning for the mysterious Qingluan Mountain.


    Ji Yuenian was stunned, thought for a moment, and smiled. "You better not know."


    The black-clothed girl''s eyes sank slightly, her green slender white jade fingers trembled, and the strong ghostly energy around her became more and more tyrannical. "I casted the soul-reversing spell last time, and I learned that Cui Niang was killed by you. I only chased after you all the way and haven''t bothered you yet. Tell me honestly about the Qingluan Mountain, and I can consider letting you live."


    "Cui¡­ Cui Niang?" Ji Yuenian frowned slightly, looking puzzled.


    "Cui Niang was a mutated thorn flower type Demonic Tree who I am familiar with." The black-clothed girl''s expression became even more ugly. "She was melted and killed by you using a pitch-black flame spell not long ago."


    Ji Yuenian seemed to finally remember, and suddenly said, "I remember, the girl you are talking about is that ugly withered vine monster? Don''t worry, I have sent her to reincarnation, and the girl doesn''t have to worry about anything anymore."


    "You''re courting death!" The girl finally realized that Ji Yuenian was playing tricks on her. Under extreme rage, her originally beautiful and slender face became twisted to the limit, and a sharp and resentful ghost howl came out of her mouth!


    Late stage of Xuan Realm!


    There was a huge difference between ghosts and the weak Demonic Tree. On the same cultivation level of the late stage of the Xuan Realm, their combat power was too terrifying.


    In front of Ji Yuenian, there were various azure lights that emerged, blocking all the dark ripples that swept in, but the sturdy man beside him had no such means, and was directly infiltrated by ghost energy while screaming in horror. In just a short while, his whole body turned into a pure white gas, which was inhaled into the nose and mouth by the girl in black.


    Boom!


    The azure light exploded, and the two Demonic Tree joined forces to form a light shield of demonic energy, which was able to block the sound wave of this ghost¡¯s howl.


    "A bunch of trash."


    The black-clothed girl sneered, her snow-white plain hands danced lightly, and the ghost energy entwined around her rolled violently, finally condensing into two giant black hands. They made a grabbing motion towards Ji Yuenian and the two Demonic Trees respectively!


    Boom!


    The Taoist Temple, which was already in ruins, was torn apart by the giant black hands, and was completely shattered.


    The moonlight was gray, and the dark clouds weighed down heavily.


    The pouring rain did not show mercy and continued to fall.


    Ji Yuenian did not have enough Xuan energy to block the rain, and his long jet-black hair was soaked in the rain, falling down chaotically from his fair forehead.


    The only remaining Xuan energy in his Shengong acupoint was rapidly reduced within the rain curtain. If this continued, the rain would completely erode all his Xuan energy after one more stick of incense.

 Ch. 12 - Spirit Reposing Mantra

    The giant black hand had already pierced through the rain curtain and attacked him from the front.Ji Yuenian mobilized the remaining Xuan energy, condensing a translucent Azure Spiritual Shield. However, his expression turned dark all of a sudden.


    Although ''The Cultivation Manual Of The Secret Supernatural Skill - Indestructible Body'' was incomparably miraculous; they were defensive techniques, and were not made to attack. Besides... among those miraculous defensive techniques, what he displayed at that moment was not enough. He had no choice but to use the Azure Spiritual Shield.


    Using Heart Fire as a means of killing was definitely not a long-term plan. After all, Heart Fire was the foundation of cultivation. Once someone saw through it and found it to be a mutant Heart Fire, the consequences would be disastrous.


    Before he had the time to think about it, the giant black hand had already grabbed onto the Azure Spiritual Shield.


    One after another, translucent ripples started to appear on the shield, and the azure shield gradually formed a slight crack. Under the attack of the raging ghost, the crack on the light shield became bigger and bigger, and it finally shattered like a daydream.


    Ji Yuenian was shaken by the aftershocks and the impact sent him flying more than ten feet away. The Xuan energy in his Shengong acupuncture point was exhausted and he could no longer defend against her aggressive attacks.


    The rainstorm became more and more rampant. Ji Yuenian barely sat up from the mire, and his body was soaked with mud and water. The bean-sized raindrops fiercely hit his face and body, compelling him to close his eyes.


    "Tastes good." The ghost energy re-coalesced the figure of the black-clad girl. She stretched out her hand, grabbed the two Demonic Tree from the other side, and casually threw one of them into her mouth. "It''s a pity that this newborn Demonic Tree is too weak to be of much use to me."


    Ji Yuenian raised his head slightly, and his eyes pierced through the dense rain curtain, looking at the arrogant and condemning young girl hovering in the mid-air.


    This scene was very similar to when he had his arm cut off by the mountain ghost, and he was unable to resist it. At that time, his condition was the same as a weak prey waiting to be slaughtered.


    Recalling that scene, a fire lit up in his heart.


    In the depths of his soul, that pitch-black flame shone again, and a brilliant golden light gradually emerged from it, and the phantom of the Heart Fire in the Shengong acupoint also tumbled violently.


    But¡­ Even though the fire was extremely mysterious, his arm had already been lost, and his Xuan energy had dried up. He had no choice but to urge the fire to devour the ghost in the late stage of the Xuan Realm.


    After all, this woman was different from the mountain ghost. Although the mountain ghost Qing Yan had a tyrannical cultivation base at the Late stage of True Dao Realm, she had abandoned her spiritual body which had two heads and nine arms, leaving only the Origin Yin Energy to sneak into Ji Yuenian''s soul. In front of his Heart Fire, she was no different from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.


    The cultivation base of that ghost was only at the late stage of the Xuan Realm. However, if he were to face it head-on, it was impossible for Ji Yuenian, who had no means of attacking, to be the opponent of the ghost.


    "Isn¡¯t the rain so fierce that your Heart Fire is about to extinguish?" The young girl devoured the two Demonic Tree. Only then did she look at Ji Yuenian. "If the answer satisfies me, then I will spare you,."


    The ghost¡¯s delicate and pretty face could only be said to be cold and extremely horrendous. It lacked even a slightest bit of mercy.


    The Qingluan Mountain was just a place for alchemy, and it was unworthy of Egret demon king''s attention.


    It was a pity that these demons and ghosts regarded it as a holy place for cultivation, and believed that the insurmountable barrier of the furnace was a test for them.


    Ji Yuenian sneered and remained silent.


    The young girl took a step forward, and in the blink of an eye, she appeared in front of Ji Yuenian, her body encompassed in yin energy.


    "Keep laughing, I''ll let you laugh enough. If you don''t say anything, I''ll watch your Heart Fire extinguish, witness your cultivation being destroyed, and finally your soul being eroded by the rain."


    She laughed softly.


    Ji Yuenian replied in a low voice, "Stupid."


    The smile on the young girl''s face gradually froze down, the Yin energy around her body slightly trembled, and she stretched out a fair and slender jade hand, grabbing on the top of Ji Yuenian''s head. "Speak! Tell me! Or I will pull out your soul and chew one bite at a time!"


    Under the invasion of the Yin energy, the slender hand gradually turned into a ghostly claw, tightly digging in the dark hair of Ji Yuenian.


    It was still not the right time.


    Ji Yuenian gradually felt a sense of weakness washing all over his body, but he still forcibly suppressed the idea of ????using the Psychic Karma Fire.


    Although the Psychic Karma Fire was a mutated Heart Fire, and it would never be completely extinguished under such violent rain, it had still dimmed a little bit.


    If he made a move at this moment, he could only devour half of the ghost''s origin Yin energy at most. Once the distance between them widened, he would still not be its opponent.


    "Still not speaking?"


    With a cruel smile, she tightened the grip of her claws around Ji Yuenian''s head, and the sound of a cracking skull echoed under the fierce rain.


    Slowly, blood overflowed from Ji Yuenian''s closed eyes, an indescribable pain invaded his core, and a stream of dizziness enveloped him.


    In the midst of the chaos, like a thunderbolt from the blue, a lightning exploded in the depths of his soul, tearing apart the fog within the true soul''s original memory.


    ¡­¡­


    "Your Highness Bodhisattva, I really don''t dare. In this life, I wish that my soul would be destroyed to atone for my sins. I just ask Your Highness to keep my True Spirit alive and give me a chance to reincarnate."


    The young man in white robe knelt on the ground and looked up at the noble existence above the sky, his eyes filled with remorse and pleading. S?a??h the n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Behind him, there were hundreds of huge demons who were rushing to the sky. These demons were all puzzled and angry at this moment, and they all looked at the figure kneeling in front of them.


    "Great Sage, why are you kneeling down for this little girl''s favor?" A magnificent man in red armor stepped out. He first glanced at the white-robed youth in shock and anger, and then stared at the sky above the sky. He continued, "I think she has a bit of beauty in my opinion. Let''s do it together and catch this bitch and play with her!"


    "Shut up!" Hearing this, the young man in white robe could not help but tremble violently, gritted his teeth and turned to growl towards him.


    "Great Sage!"


    "Great Sage, why are you being like this!?"


    "Although I can''t sense this woman''s cultivation, most of us are great demons who have crossed the second tribulation, and the Great Sage Bai Yu has even crossed the third tribulation. Why are you so afraid of her?"


    Several great demons with shocking momentum all walked over in unison, looking at the white-robed youth with a strange gaze.


    ¡®Is this still the Great Sage Bai Yu who led us to traverse several worlds, unified hundreds of demon kingdoms, and annihilated countless gods between heaven and earth?¡¯


    "I am doing this for your own good, follow me and kneel down to beg for forgiveness, maybe you can still keep your True Spirit to reincarnate! If it''s too late¡­¡±


    Great Sage Bai Yu''s eyes were red, and his tone was extremely anxious.


    "Bai Yu, do you know the meaning of the Spirit Reposing Mantra?"


    The noble and deep voice spread across heaven and earth.


    Standing on the golden thousand-leaf lotus pedestal that hovered above the sky, the woman was dressed in a plain moon-white gauze, and behind her, a dazzling and magnificent wheel of karma emerged.


    This was actually a venerable Bodhisattva who could travel through worlds.


    The body of the Great Sage Bai Yu shuddered again, and his kneeling posture became even more humble as he whispered, "Replying to the Bodhisattva, the Spirit Reposing Mantra is the divine power of the Bodhisattva. Back then... when the venerable master wanted to teach me, yet I never practiced."


    The woman smiled lightly, and there seemed to be a golden warmth drifting around the world.


    "You are too naughty, you did not practice Buddhism by my side, but instead you acted like a demon in this small corner of West Niuhe Island." She stroked her jade hand, and a golden light appeared on her fingertips. "Forget it, you were just a piece of mine at the beginning. The soul fragment that was born of enlightenment, and now that I have met you, I will ferry you. It can also be considered to have fulfilled the karma between us."


    The Great Sage Bai Yu looked desperate, but he could not even utter a single sentence to beg for mercy.


    He knew very well that Her Holiness, the Bodhisattva''s golden words, once they were spoken, he would have no chance of return.


    Under the Buddha mantra, his True Spirit would be completely destroyed and he would not have a chance to reincarnate.


    The hundreds of demons behind him clamored up and became more and more noisy.


    The world in the eyes of the Great Sage Bai Yu had gradually blurred. All kinds of noisy sounds lingered around his ear. He did not know when the world was already filled with exuberant golden light.


    The golden light encompassed the sky, and everything returned to silence.


    The Spirit Reposing mantra.


    ......


    The Spirit Reposing Mantra originated from the sacred mountain of Luo Jia. It was the divine mantra of Her Holiness Guanyin Bodhisattva.


    ......


    The rain poured heavily with no intention to stop.


    The grip of the ghostly claws of the girl in black were getting tighter and tighter, and the seven orifices of Ji Yuenian were slowly bleeding under the torment. He was apparently already on the verge of death.


    "What!? How could you, an ant, wake up?"


    She stared at Ji Yuenian''s blood-filled face, with a hint of disbelief laced in her tone.


    The boy slowly opened his eyes, and the corners of his already cracked mouth forced out a smile.


    "Filthy ghost."

 Ch. 13 - Mercy

    "This is impossible!"The ghostly claws of the black-clothed girl melted away under the golden light, and in just a few breaths, they turned into smoke and dissipated away.


    Ji Yuenian raised his head slightly, and his dazzling eyes reflected the golden stars. Under the shimmering golden light, the area around his lost arm began to interwoven with countless dense golden rays of light, and two complete arms were formed in a matter of seconds.


    At the same time, a trace of Buddha''s light emerged from his Shengong acupoint, and circulated through the two major acupoints of Shengong and Jianggong, spreading throughout the 36 meridians, thoroughly cleansing his soul, body and meridians.


    Wherever the golden light passed, a dark substance seeped out from Ji Yuenian''s body and eventually coalesced into a large, foul-smelling black ball, which floated quietly in the mid-air.


    The black-clothed girl had already retreated a dozen feet away, and she stood there, looking at Ji Yuenian, who seemed to be undergoing a rebirth, with a horrified expression that masked her face.


    "Who the hell are you, and why do you have the secret skill of ¡®Purifying the Soul and Cleansing the Marrow¡¯!?"


    As the name suggested, ¡®Purifying the Soul and Cleansing the Marrow¡¯ could purify the soul, meridians, etc. from the inside out.


    The skill to purify the soul and marrow only existed in rumors within the Yuanyan Earth Realm, and no creature had ever undergone it.


    But rumors did not mean it did not exist. This skill originated from the ¡®Spirit Purging Buddha Mantra¡¯ from Luo Jia Holy Mountain. At the beginning of the practice, it had the shocking effect of purifying the soul and cleansing the marrow, and this was just at the foundation realm.


    Ji Yuenian glanced at her calmly, but did not answer. He took the foul-smelling black ball hovering by his side, and held it between his palms. This black ball kept shrinking under the pressure of the golden light, and was finally sucked into a white jade bottle by him. Then, it was put away.


    This thing was called "Soul Ashes", and it was an impurity that existed in the body of any living being. However, for ordinary mortals, it was difficult to take out the Soul Ashes from their body.


    The black-clothed girl looked at Ji Yuenian who collected the ashes and seemed to turn his head to look at herself. The Yin energy around her subconsciously surged violently. Her eyes moved slightly, revealing that she obviously had the intention of retreating.


    "You know what Spirit Reposing is?"


    Ji Yuenian raised his eyes slightly, looked at the girl in black and asked softly.


    He was born very handsome, but after his soul was purified and marrow cleansed, his appearance had still undergone some very obvious changes.


    The long black hair fell like a waterfall, his lips were red and his teeth shone white. His eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and he appeared extremely gorgeous.


    "How would I know? Don''t ask me!" The black-clothed girl was stared at by Ji Yuenian''s calm eyes, and her tone became a little flustered unconsciously. She forced a smile, and pointed at the top of her head, "It''s raining too much, I''ll find a place to hide first."


    After the words fell, she did not hesitate any longer, turned her head around, and her entire body turned into an extremely rich Yin energy, disappearing into the rain curtain in a moment. s?a??h th? ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    To the incomparably weak Ji Yuenian before, she was a terrifying ghost, but in front of Ji Yuenian, who had now been reborn, she was no different from a mortal girl, with the same fear, admiration, worry, and every complex emotions such as cowardice and so on.


    The boy stood still in the heavily pouring rain, but before the raindrops fell on top of his head, it was completely blocked by a translucent golden light shield.


    "Spirit Repose means destroying your True Spirit so that you will lose the chance of reincarnation, and completely dissipate from the world."


    While muttering in a low voice, Ji Yuenian clenched his empty palm, and a golden light emerged from it. After a few breaths, a golden longbow condensed on his hand.


    "There are only three types of mantras in the Spirit Reposing Mantra. The first type of mantra is called the Great Compassion Mantra."


    He bent the bow.


    A blazing golden arrow condensed at the center of the bowstring.


    Then Ji Yuenian let go of his fingers casually.


    Boom!


    A dazzling golden light pierced through the rain curtain and shone with blinding light, reflecting heaven and earth!


    A moment later, a shrill and terrifying ghost howl echoed, but the gloomy sound only lasted for a moment, and then came to an abrupt end.


    The black-clothed girl in the late stage of the Xuan Realm was annihilated along with its dharma and the True spirit.


    The Great Compassion Mantra was the most basic mantra among the three types of mantras of the Spirit Reposing Mantra.


    Thump


    The golden light around Ji Yuenian¡¯s body faded away, and he fell onto the ground, laced with mud and water.


    Fortunately, after the annihilation, the dharma of the ghostly creature released a huge amount of pure ghost energy, and most of it was devoured by the already enhanced and terrifying Psychic Karma Fire. Ji Yuenian urged the fire to transform a little of his own Xuan energy from it, allowing him to barely stand up.


    Even though there was a trace of real Buddha power from the beginning of the practice of the Spirit Reposing Mantra, this trace of Buddha power was all consumed in Ji Yuenian''s soul purification and marrow cleansing, so the golden bow and arrow that Ji Yuenian had manifested with the Great Compassion Mantra were all part of the golden mystical power obtained from the initial fusion of the Heart Fire and the Spirit Reposing Mantra.


    At this moment, his Shengong acupuncture point was completely depleted. Except for the fiery phantom of the Heart Fire, there was not even a trace of Xuan energy.


    This was the disadvantage of not having refined the Xuan sea, no matter whether it was the azure Xuan energy of ''The Cultivation Manual Of The Secret Supernatural Skill - Indestructible Body'' or the golden Xuan energy of the ''Spirit Reposing Mantra'', they were all like water without a source and a tree without roots. So he could only rely on the Heart Fire to slowly recover by absorbing the power of heaven, earth, sun and moon.


    The rain still did not weaken, so Ji Yuenian once again activated his Heart Fire, forcibly transforming part of the mountain ghost¡¯s Origin Yin energy that had settled deep in his soul, and only then did the azure Xuan energy and golden Xuan energy gradually began to emerge from the Shengong acupoint.


    After the soul was purified and the marrow was cleansed, the flame of the Psychic Karma Fire had now become extremely intense, and even with the raging violent rain, this dark flame was still burning, without showing any indication of extinguishment.


    However, if he stayed in the rain for too long, it would not be good for cultivation.


    Ji Yuenian traveled about several dozen feet and found the remaining half-dilapidated wall of the Taoist Temple. It was relatively well preserved and could withstand most of the wind and rain.


    Ji Yuenian propped up a light golden shield around himself, and sat under the wall, slowly sinking into the cultivation.


    What he did not know was that, just a hundred feet away, there was a slender and translucent human-shaped phantom silently observing him for a long time. For some reason, its figure eventually was getting fainter and fainter, until it completely disappeared under the storm.


    This was an extremely terrifying thing that only appeared when the celestial phenomena such as frost, wind, rain, snow, etc. came. Once a creature was targeted by it, the consequences would be disastrous.


    But it seemed to have some inexplicable fear of Ji Yuenian, and it left there quietly without leaving any trace.

 Ch. 14 - Mountain God (1)

    It was nighttime.A rustling sound came from under the old wooden bed, and from time to time an ear-piercing "squeaking" sound could be heard.


    Mrs. Wang lowered her body and rolled up the sleeves of her tattered clothes, which further revealed the derelict shape of her body.


    "Go! Go!" With a sparse broom in her hand, she smacked the mice under the bed.


    "Squeak!"


    After she finally drove the mouse out of the house, Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief and put down the broom, but suddenly she smelled a burning smell from somewhere.


    She frowned slightly. A few more lines of wrinkles appearing on her as she said in her anxiety, ¡°I was so focussed on it, that I forgot about the rice!¡±


    She hurriedly stepped into the house, and ignored the shooting through her hand while lifting the hot lid of the iron pot.


    In the small corner of the wooden house, bottles of salt and pickles were placed in order, next to a low stove, and the burning smell came out from the iron pot on it.


    Mrs. Wang took a rag and wrapped it around her hand, brought the iron pot down from the stove, and only then did she have time to blow on her red fingers in an attempt to soothe the pain.


    She poured out a large bowl of rice gruel, and when she saw that only a small part of rice at the bottom of the pot was burnt, her brows slightly relaxed.


    "Mother, I''m back!" A boy about eight or nine years old walked into the wooden house with a happy face, holding a small piece of raw meat tied with a rope in his hand.


    "Today, Uncle Zhang and the others went hunting, and I helped them. We caught one deer, and I got a small piece of its meat!"


    Mrs. Wang looked at the boy with pity, put the large bowl of rice in her hands on the wooden table and smiled. "Are you tired after following them on the hunt? Did you get hurt? Although you have your Uncle Zhang to take care of you, you still have to be very careful. Eat this bowl of rice, you are now at the growing age, so eat more."


    The boy''s eyes were sharp. He noticed Mrs. Wang''s red fingers at a glance, and immediately became a little anxious. "Mother, what''s wrong with your hand?"


    Mrs. Wang shook her head and said, "It''s just a little scalded, it''s okay. Hurry up and eat, eat more rice to grow stronger."


    The large bowl was almost an all clear soup, only six or seven vegetable leaves hovered on it. The vegetable leaves were luxuriously mixed with two pieces of fat and thin meat. The boy smelled the meat and almost drooled.


    Just as he picked up the large bowl and was about to eat it, the boy seemed to have thought of something. He blinked and said, "Mother, eat these two pieces of meat, I won''t eat it."


    While she was scraping the bottom of the paste in the pot and putting it into her own bowl, Mrs. Wang shook her head and smiled. "I just ate some. I ate a few pieces of meat, the rest is a bit mushy, but I''ll make do with it. I want to eat more, but it would be a waste to lose it.¡±


    The boy glanced at Mrs. Wang, lowered his head, held the bowl up, and started to eat silently.


    Mrs. Wang was a hard-working and miserable orphan. After she gave birth to a boy, Xiao Fu, her husband died in the mountains while hunting.


    In a small village at the corner of the Qingluan Mountain, the absence of a man meant that there was no food source. After all, that small area was barren and infertile, and nothing could be grown on the soil. The source of foodof the whole village was only a small mountain at the edge of the village, which was full of ordinary beasts.


    Strange to say, there were a lot of mountains around the Qingluan Mountain range. That small peak on the edge was the hunting ground for the village for many years, and all kinds of beasts existed there. However, their number never fell, and instead they appeared more and more frequently. People thought that it was the blessing of the Mountain God. That small mountain was also an unnamed mountain, so every household in the village had a Mountain God statue, which was called the ¡°Nameless Mountain God¡± and it was extremely revered and piously prayed for.


    Relying on laundry service for other people''s homes and serving as a servant for slightly wealthier families, Mrs. Wang managed to raise Xiao Fu to nine years old. Although she was not yet forty years old, due to working laboriously her entire youth, she looked like an old woman.


    Xiao Fu was also sensible. Since he was a child, he knew how to help his hard-working mother to share the housework. When he was a little older, he clamored to follow the village''s hunter team into the mountains to hunt.


    Mrs. Wang could not go, so she could only ask Big Brother Zhang next door to take care of him. Xiao Fu was also very good at it, and he was very discerning. Every time he went out, he was the most diligent one, and everyone in the village was full of praise for him.


    Therefore, although Xiao Fu was only nine years old, he could bring back a piece or two of animal meat from time to time to improve their meals.


    After he finished his meal, there was a slightly larger piece of meat left at the bottom of the bowl, and he shouted, "Mother, I''m full."


    Mrs. Wang looked at the piece of meat at the bottom of the bowl, shook her head slightly, and said with a smile, "Okay."


    She silently put the tableware and chopsticks away, and placed the remaining piece of meat in the old cupboard. Then, she muttered, "It''s time to worship the Mountain God statue."


    After she had finished cleaning, Mrs. Wang took Xiao Fu and knelt down in front of the statue of Mountain God, and kowtowed a few times respectfully.


    Xiao Fu, as usual, after kowtowing, raised his head, and subconsciously glanced at the pitch-black statue of the Mountain God.


    The statue of the mountain god was made by everyone in the village a long time ago. It was carved from ebony and simply painted.


    Xiao Fu suddenly felt a fierce tremble in his heart, his scalp turned numb, and an extremely frightening feeling washed over him like a tide, but this feeling came and went away quickly.


    He took a closer look at the Nameless Mountain God statue that he worshiped every day, and found nothing unusual. Xiao Fu could not help but feel a little dazed.


    "Xiao Fu? What''s wrong?" Mrs. Wang''s wrinkled face was full of concern.


    Xiao Fu felt a pain in his heart, his mother was not yet forty years old!


    She only ate two meals a day, and she would only eat a few green vegetables, which are wild vegetables, and yet she had to do so much work. She is getting old too fast.


    With this thought, he could not help but blurt out what he was thinking, "Mother, I want to grow up quickly. So that I can hunt by myself, and make clothes for you from animal skins, and you can eat meat every day! I have to leave the village and go to the rumored ancient city of Taichu to build a house, and take mother with me to enjoy life!"


    The mountain roads here were extremely treacherous. For this small and isolated village, the magnificent Taichu Ancient City, which was only a few hundred kilometers away, was as far away as legends.


    Gently touching Xiao Fu''s head, Mrs. Wang just smiled, but she muttered in her mind, Xiao Fu, when you grow up, your mother will be too old.


    Near midnight, the village got oddly quiet.


    Occasionally, a few dog barks echoed, disturbing the calm.


    When Xiao Fu was in a state of half-dreaming and half-awake, his eyes were wet, and his heart ached unknowingly.


    Shaking his head, he sat up, wiped the corners of his eyes, looked around through the help of the light of moonlight, and asked himself in doubt, "Where''s mother?"


    The wooden house was not big, there was only a dilapidated wooden bed, which could hardly harbor two people. s?a??h th? ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    The night in late autumn was freezing to the bone, and Mrs. Wang always let Xiao Fu sleep in the inner part of the bed. While she slept in the outer part, to make him a little warmer.


    Xiao Fu looked at the almost tear-soaked pillow, and could not help but wonder, "Why did I shed so many tears in my dreams? Mother, where are you?"


    Putting on a worn cotton-padded coat, he opened the wooden door, and a cold draft drifted along like a stream of icy water.


    Xiao Fu shuddered fiercely, but instead of closing the door, he stuck his head out of the door and whispered, "Mother?"


    Where can my mother go in the middle of the night? Even if she went to the toilet, it has been so long, shouldn¡¯t she have come back?


    Standing dumbfounded at the door, the bone-piercing cold wind whistled, making Xiao Fu shiver, but his worry did not lessen, instead he got even more worried.


    Born in a poor household, the nine-year-old was quite precocious and perceptive of things.


    Suddenly aware of a stare directed at him from behind, Xiao Fu turned his head sharply. But what he saw was still the old wooden bed between the four walls of the house, the iron pot, and the cupboard in the corner.


    On the edge of the broken wooden bed was a pair of cloth shoes that were more than half sewn. The stitches were densely packed and extremely tight. They were the two thick pieces of cloth and soles that Mrs. Wang had saved for a long time to sew winter cloth shoes for Xiao Fu.


    His intuition caught the stare getting intense by the minute.


    Xiao Fu''s scalp exploded with caution, and he felt numb, but he could not find the source of the stare.


    Scanning through the wooden house again, the simple furnishings appeared still the same as usual, only the Mountain God statue ¡­


    Wait! The statue of the ¡°Nameless Mountain God¡±!


    On that pitch-black face, two red and green painted eyes seemed to come alive, and they were staring at him fiercely with resentful eyes!


    "What!"


    Xiao Fu¡¯s soul trembled, and the urge to relieve his bladder rushed over him. Disregarding the cold in the middle of the night, he rushed out the door!


    The scene felt vaguely familiar; even in that trance.


    Didn''t I run out of the door and onto the street in the village? Why am I back in the house?


    After all, Xiao Fu was only nine years old. No matter how sensible he was, after being frightened, his sanity showed signs of collapse.


    In his daze, he stood rooted to the spot, but he continued to stare blankly at the hideous visage of the Nameless Mountain God.


    Suddenly, the big mouth of the Mountain God statue opened up in a twisted way.


    Ptui.


    It spat out a pile of snow-white bones.


    Xiao Fu looked at the pile of bones, his eyes still blank, until he noticed a gap in one of the skeleton¡¯s hands: His mother''s left little finger, which was missing a small piece of bone.


    It was the little finger that was accidentally broken when she was washing clothes in the village chief''s house the year before, leaving an old wound.


    A hint of sanity returned to his eyes, and a heart-wrenching cry resounded through the silent night sky.


    "Mother!"


    After a while, the sound in the wooden house stopped¡ªabruptly.


    A few moments later, the sound of chewing gradually echoed from the wooden house, which was extremely terrifying.


    Strangely, the whole village had turned into a dead village, and heavy silence hung in the dark allies.

 Ch. 15 - Baiyu Lou

    At dawn, sunlight colored the sky in the extreme east with a golden hue.Ji Yuenian stopped to look at the faint towering outer walls of the ancient of Tai Chu in the far distance with a serene gaze.


    After walking for more than two days, he was about to leave the territory of Qingluan Mountain range, and was not far from stepping into the area under the jurisdiction of the ancient city of Tai Chu.


    He slightly shook his head looking down at his worn-out satin robe. He raised his head and looked at the small village several miles ahead-a swirling smoke was rising from some fireplace, probably a place inhabited by many mortals.


    Although he could temporarily manifest his clothes with his Xuan energy; however, since he hadn''t refined his Xuan Sea, using this method was a waste of his Xuan energy. So he might as well head to the village and find a robe for the time being.


    "Why does fellow-Daoist look so sloppy?"


    He heard a somewhat surprised voice.


    Ji Yuenian turned his head to find the origin of the voice. A handsome-looking young man in a Daoist robe walked out of the dense forest on the right, and was looking at him in astonishment.


    The upper stage of Xuan Realm cultivation base!


    The young man seemed to be very familiar with him. Seeing that Ji Yuenian was silent, he took a few steps closer and said with a smile. "Could it be that fellow-Daoist also encountered some tyrannical ghosts and monsters, and fled in a panic after you were unable to defeat them? Is that why you ended up in such a mess?"


    Ji Yuenian shook his head slightly and asked, "Why did you come here, fellow Daoist?"


    Seeing Ji Yuenian¡¯s disinclination towards the conversation, the young man did not press him but merely sighed. "My master helped me refine a ¡°Hundred Ghosts Spirit Banner¡±, but it was empty, so my master let me collect ghosts by myself. Within the radius of several thousand miles, only the outskirts of the Qingluan Mountain possess numerous demons, so I have come here alone to capture the evil spirits. According to my master¡¯s words, this is also a way to temper oneself."


    Dressed in a mysterious green Daoist robe, a faint auspicious light of a treasure emanated from all over his body. The Xuan energy around him was extremely stable, and it was obvious that he had already cultivated his Xuan Sea.


    Ji Yuenian nodded and said: ¡°Indeed there are many ghosts here and most of them are at the level of the Nascent Dao Realm. As long as fellow Daoist head deeper, there¡¯ll only be little danger with your powerful magic treasure.¡± S?a??h th? N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    "How do you know that I¡¯m in possession of a powerful magic treasure?" The young man seemed ignorant to the ways of the world. "My name is Baiyu Lou, from the Tai Yu Dao Sect. I didn¡¯t seem to have asked for fellow-Daoist¡¯s name yet."


    Tai Yu Dao Sect, it was only a word away from the powerful clan Tai Yu Sheng Sect which was the most powerful clan in the Yuan Dynasty, but in reality, the disparity between them was like heaven and earth.


    There were six mountains and three realms in the Tai Yu Sheng Sect. And each of which covered a territory of tens of thousands of miles. Countless small and large mountain peaks flourished here; creatures like Jian Zhiqing were aplenty.


    The sects might¨Cand all encompassing reach¨Cshocked the entire world, but only few mortal races were present here. Although most of them are dominated by humans; demons, spirits, monsters, etc. were also present. Once you entered the Tai Yu Sheng Sect, you¡¯d have to abide by the strict regulations of the sect, which couldn¡¯t be violated at any cost.


    Monsters and ghosts were excluded from the orthodoxy, and were regarded as foul and ugly creatures. They could only survive in the dark corners, no matter the height of cultivation, they would never be openly respected.


    "My name is Ji Yuenian." Ji Yuenian heard the words Tai Yu Dao Sect, and once again made a careful scrutiny of this Baiyu Lou. "I only know of Tai Yu Sheng Sect. I have never heard of this Tai Yu Dao Sect. "


    Baiyu Lou looked a little embarrassed, waved his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist doesn''t know. My Tai Yu Dao Sect was a branch of Tai Yu Sheng Sect many years ago, but later it declined, and gradually, the main sect refused to recognize us [as their part]."


    Having said this, he seemed not to want to bring up this topic again. He took out a set of clothes from between his sleeves, and said with a smile.


    ¡°Brother Ji, you being so handsome, wearing such worn-out clothes is too big of a disparity. You put on this Daoist robe for the time being.¡±


    What Baiyu Lou used was an extremely precious storage treasure.


    Ji Yuenian didn¡¯t pretend to be gracious, it was just a piece of cloth, so he took it without hesitation. He said softly: "Fellow Daoist has entered this mountain range alone, but didn''t have the slightest bit of vigilance, which is most surprising."


    Baiyu Lou became a bit smug when he heard that. He waved the ring-shaped storage treasure on his wrist and said, ¡°I grew sheltered in the Daoist sect since I was a child, and this is my first time out of the sect; but because of that my senior sister has given me a spiritual magic sword to protect myself. Plus, this banner has spirits at the Xuan realm, why do I need to be vigilant?¡±


    "In this Tai Yu Dao Sect¨C" Ji Yuenian hesitated for a moment, then looked up at the Hundred Ghost Spirit Banner behind Baiyu Lou, "¨Care there only a few Daoists?"


    "Just call me Brother Bai. It''s a bit strange to hear fellow Daoist talk like that," Baiyu Lou said with a smile. "Brother Ji guessed it right, there are only five people in the Tai Yu Dao Sect, except for master, the rest are my apprentice brothers and sisters."


    Ji Yuenian shook his head slightly, no wonder Baiyu Lou had such a pure heart. It turned out that except for a few people in the Tai Yu Dao Sect, Baiyu Lou hardly ever had contact with other people.


    If he were to switch positions with any upper stage Xuan realm cultivator and was looking for profit, and by chance stumbled upon Ji Yuenian, who was only at the Initial stage of the Xuan realm. He¡¯d directly attack instead of talking all this nonsense.


    "Brother Ji, you''d better put on your clothes first." As he seemed to know what Ji Yuenian was thinking, he winked at him. "To be honest, it''s not that I''m not vigilant, it''s just that brother Ji''s cultivation is too low. So there is no threat to me, so, naturally there is no need for me to be cautious."


    Hearing this, Ji Yuenian¡¯s thought churned, and instead of speaking, he donned the new, clean Daoist robe in his hand. He then flicked out a burst of Xuan energy, and the worn-out silk robe was immediately reduced to countless powdered fragments.


    "People rely on clothes, so if you look at it again, brother Ji is really handsome and unpretentious." Baiyu Lou looked at the young man in Daoist robe with picturesque brows in front of him, and he was a dazed for a while.


    Although Ji Yuenian was wearing a very simple Daoist robe, he looked better clean and properly dressed. His long dark hair rolled down, which made him seem even more fetching.


    "Brother Bai is too polite," Ji Yuenian slightly raised his head, once again looked at his Hundred Ghost Spirit Banner.


    "Brother Bai, this spirit banner, you better not carry this behind your back."


    Baiyu Lou was stunned for a moment, then took off this spirit banner from behind, held it in his hand to sense it, and looked up and said. "Why did brother Ji say that? There are only four ghosts inside this spirit banner, and they are completely under the control of the forbidden array inside the banner, so there is no danger.


    The young man in the robe smiled and said, "Brother Bai should know the reason better than me."


    For the first time, Baiyu Lou''s gaze became somewhat serious, and he lifted his hand to put the Hundred Ghost Spirit Banner behind his back again and smiled. "Although Brother Ji is only at the initial stage of the Xuan Realm, you have a keen sight."

 Ch. 16 - Body Ghost

    The two seemed to be going on about the same thing but no-one was breaking into the story, and the atmosphere gradually turned eerie."Brother Ji, I will leave this transmission jade talisman to you. I still have something to do, so I will take my leave first."


    Soon, Baiyu Lou took out a blueish-white jade talisman from the ring-shaped storage treasure and handed it out to him.


    Ji Yuenian accepted the jade talisman and nodded in response.


    After taking one more look at Ji Yuenian, Baiyu Lou turned back and left the place.


    His direction deviated slightly from the ancient city of Taichu, where Ji Yuenian was initially heading towards. His course now was set on the southern side of the Qingluan Mountain where the sea¨Cwith an area of thousand miles¡ªlay on.


    After an unknown period of time, a figure quietly returned to the place where they stood just before.


    It was Baiyu Lou.


    This time, he no longer had that ¡®chaste-from-the-world¡¯, naive expression from before. His aura had changed, and was as stalwart, and as stern as a general leading a battle¡ªwith an impressive cultivation that rose to half-step True Dao realm!


    Baiyu Lou looked at the direction where Ji Yuenian disappeared, his gaze was full of doubts, and muttered to himself, "How could he possibly escape the wrath of the ghost? Where did this person come from?"


    The Hundred Ghost Spirit Banner behind him, trembled slightly. Four translucent figures gradually emerged, and the dreadful cold aura spread out, forcing the grass and trees within a hundred feet to wither away.


    Body ghosts, in the shape of translucent human figures, were special and extremely terrifying compared to other ghosts; it only appeared when celestial phenomena such as thunder, wind, rain, and snow occured. The creature possessed no cultivation, but if there was no special method to resist, the person targeted by this creature would have no choice but to die.


    He had ventured into the Qingluan Moutain was not to capture those ordinary ghosts, but to take advantage of the storm of the past two days and capture body ghost within the Hundred Ghost Spirit Banner!


    The other day, he noticed the traces of a body ghost and after capturing it with a specially-made Hundred Ghost Spirit Banner, he was surprised to find a brand in the depths of the body ghost''s origin. Which showed that it had already chosen its target, but it never actually made a move which was very unusual.


    So he followed this breath and found Ji Yuenian. But he was really surprised when he found that Ji Yuenian only had the cultivation level of the first stage of the Xuan Realm. So he intentionally approached him, hoping to get unearth the truth about him, but until the end, he did not gain any useful information.


    "This person''s cultivation is only at the initial stage of Xuan Realm but could also overcome an attack from a body ghost, so the only possibility is he must have something extraordinary in him." Baiyu Lou slowly shook his head, "Let¡¯s leave an incense for the time being. It wouldn¡¯t be too late for us to get in touch when we have the chance in the future."


    Although the possession of the body ghosthad nothing to do with cultivation, but the higher the cultivation, the harder one could counteract the body ghost. It was a fact that could not be denied. S?a??h the N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    With this thought, he took out the psychic magic sword and held it with both hands. A moment later, the sword glowed, leading him across the extreme sky.


    To break through the sky and sword travel, one had to break into the realm of True Dao Cultivation, Reverting to the Truth, only then he could do this.


    Baiyu Lou was only half a step into the realm of True Dao cultivation, but he was able to fly with a spirit sword. Obviously, he also had a lot of secrets.


    ¡­


    Ji Yuenian looked at the nearby village and stopped for a moment.


    "Is the little master going into the village?" A crisp, sweet voice rang in his ears.


    He turned his head sideways and saw a girl with braids in coarse clothes put down the wooden bucket in her hand with difficulty and was smiling up at him.


    "Yes" Ji Yuenian''s eyes moved slightly, and he gently flicked the sleeves of the Daoist robe, "Is it heavy?"


    "It''s not heavy, it''s not heavy, I can do it myself." Seeing Ji Yuenian''s face, the braided girl unconsciously dazed for a moment and only came back to her senses after a few breaths. She again lifted the wooden bucket full of water, while her fair and beautiful face was tinged with blush.


    He nodded at her and headed toward the village first.


    The braided girl was once again dumbfounded. She opened her mouth wanting to say something, but she didn''t even say a word.


    Looking down at the heavy wooden barrel in her hand, she stomped her feet lightly and followed Ji Yuenian towards the village.


    "Greetings little Daoist Master."


    "This young master is so handsome."


    "Indeed, he is much better looking than that Daoist Master Ku Mu."


    Along the way, many villagers greeted him one after another; they didn¡¯t seem to be surprised by his arrival.


    After walking along the village road for a few dozen meters, a short-clothed man greeted him with a smile and asked respectfully, "Daoist Master, please come inside."


    Ji Yuenian had some doubts in his heart, but at this point, he vaguely guessed something and nodded: "Lead the way."


    As expected, after walking for about half incense [of time], the two of them arrived at the place where the village chief lived.


    After introducing Ji Yuenian into the main room, the short-clothed man stepped out politely.


    "How come there is another one? Don¡¯t tell me that the regent of Chu Yangcheng does not trust me and my two fellow brothers?"


    Some disgruntled voices were heard from inside.


    Ji Yuenian looked into the main room, and found two Daoists were sitting on the left side, while a white-robed youth with a sword was sitting on the right side, and a sturdy middle-aged man was standing in the room.


    The one who had just opened his mouth was the one who had a slightly lower cultivation among the two Daoists.


    Seeing Ji Yuenian enter, the middle-aged man was stunned for a while, and then he asked tentatively, "Daist priest is also from Chu Yangcheng?"


    Chu Yangcheng was one of the several affiliated cities of the ancient city of Taichu. Almost all the areas outside the Qingluan Mountain were under the jurisdiction of Chu Yangcheng.


    Ji Yuenian glanced at the two Daoists, then shook his head and said, "I''m from Taichu."


    "The ancient city of Taichu!"


    The Daoist who had spoken earlier called out again, but this time his voice was mixed with surprise and caution.


    Even the other Daoist in the Upper Xuan Realm and the young man in a white robe with a sword turned their heads in unison and looked at Ji Yuenian with some solemnity and forbearance.


    The ancient city of Taichu was one of the nineteen ancient cities under the Tai Yu Sheng Sect, which governed a vast expanse of territory. And people would look up to the cultivators from the ancient city of Taichu wherever they went.


    The middle-aged man, who had been stunned for a while, became overjoyed and said with contentment. "So it is true that the master is from the ancient city of Taichu! Coupled with the two priests and Master Xu (Gongzi) sent by Chu Yangcheng, the matter in our Mao Cao village can finally be resolved!"


    "Mao Cao village, is that the one neighboring villages lying to the west and is deserted?" Ji Yuenian''s gaze passed through the wide-open door and looked to the west.


    "It turns out that fellow Daoist is just passing by and still doesn''t know what¡¯s going on here." The Daoist in the upper stage of the Nascent Dao Realm stood up, his expression eased a bit, "Hundreds of people in the Mao Cao village died overnight. This village is adjacent to the Mao Cao village, and both villages are under the control of Chu Yangcheng, so the guard of Chu Yangcheng ordered me and my two brothers to come and take a look here."


    After knowing that Ji Yuenian was not sent by Chu Yangcheng to steal the merit, the stunned Daoist at the initial stage of Xuan Realm also changed his face, pulled out a smile, and said, "Just now, I spoke out of turn. I hope fellow Daoist won¡¯t blame me."


    "It''s alright," Ji Yuenian waved his hand lightly, "I just noticed something unusual about Mao Cao village, so I came to this village to inquire."

 Ch. 17 - The Non-Existent Village

    The middle-aged man was very polite. After paying his respects to everyone, he said. ¡°Daoist Master Ku Mu, Daoist Master Yuan Mu, Master Xu, and this Daoist Master from the ancient city of Taichu, please help us resolve the situation in Mao Cao village. Or else the villagers of Mao Cao Village will have a hard time going about their lives.¡±The Daoist Yuan Mu, who was in the Initial Xuan Realm, waved his hand and said with some impatience, "Village chief, you can rest assured. From my point of view, this is at most a ghost of the upper stage of Xuan Realm, it''s just a matter of time before I catch the ghost with my brothers."


    Ji Yuenian''s eyes moved slightly as if he suddenly thought of something, but instead of saying anything, he just stepped out of the house and stared at this peaceful Mao Cao village.


    The smoke from cooking continued to rise in people''s households.


    "Little Daoist." A sweet voice filtered in to his ears. The braided girl was standing a few meters in front of him, looking at him anxiously, "Leave this place quickly, you can''t get involved in the affairs of our Mao Cao village."


    Ji Yuenian frowned slightly, quietly looking at the braided girl, and there was a sense of foreboding in his heart.


    What''s wrong?


    A sudden thunderstorm crossed his mind!


    She said "Our Mao Cao village!"


    This wasn¡¯t Huangcao (deserted) village at all, but a Mao Cao village where hundreds of people in the village were said to have died!


    In other words, there was no Mao Cao village in the first place!


    "Why are you standing here, Master? Come inside and take rest." The village chief''s voice sounded in his ears.


    Ji Yuenian turned his head and saw the village chief walking out of the main room, heading towards him.


    "Why don''t you leave quickly!? As long as you leave the Mao Cao village, you can get rid of this terrible curse!" The braided girl said more anxiously.


    Strangely, the village chief didn''t seem to notice the existence of the braided girl and disregarded her.


    Ji Yuenian thought for a moment, and without saying a word, he turned around and headed straight for the village entrance.


    The braided girl followed him with a concerned look.


    "Daoist master! Please don¡¯t go! Stay here!"


    The village chief''s voice gradually distorted in his ears, getting smaller and smaller.


    "Let''s go!" The braided girl stretched out her slender jade hand and grabbed him by the wrist and ran out of the village.


    Ji Yuenian remained silent, letting the girl lead him in to running faster and faster.


    Finally, he reached the entrance of the village.


    The braided girl let go of his hand and said anxiously, "Little Daoist, get out of here quick, before it''s too late!"


    Ji Yuenian turned around, looked at the Mao Cao village that had become dead silent at some point behind him, nodded, and said, "Okay."


    But his footsteps did not move a bit.


    "Little Daoist, go! Quickly go!"


    The braided girl seemed to be very anxious, from time to time she opened her mouth to urge him to leave.


    "Go? Where to go?" Ji Yuenian looked at the young girl''s beautiful face and said with a light smile, "Forgive me for saying this, but the ¡°little girl¡¯s¡± disguise is extremely clumsy."


    The young girl was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "What is the Daoist master talking about?"


    Ji Yuenian shook his head slightly, flicked his sleeve, and a golden Xuan energy flowed out, breaking all the barriers in front of him.


    The village behind him had regained its vague atmosphere and bustle, but one step in front of him was the real deserted village of Mao Cao!


    This was the western side of the Mao Cao village. After the accident in the Mao Cao village, no one dared to come here again. As long as he took one more step, he would step into this extremely strange Mao Cao village!


    "How can you see through?" The girl''s face gradually calmed down.


    "It''s very simple, although I didn''t see through the barrier directly, your flaws are really too obvious." Ji Yuenian pointed to the girl¡¯s thin, coarse clothes, "The last two days have just gone through heavy storms, and the weather is extremely cold, your clothes alone won''t protect you from the cold, but your hands are warm."

    The girl quietly looked at Ji Yuenian, without saying anything.


    "Also," Ji Yuenian looked towards the Mao Cao village, which was completely filled with a strange atmosphere. "I¡¯m 80% certain that the events in Mao Cao Village has something to do with the body ghost of the heavy rain in the past two days. The body ghost is very special, but it has something that other ghosts can''t match."


    "Let me hear about it." The braided girl''s face was expressionless.


    Ji Yuenian nodded and said, "I just saw a wooden statue of the mountain god at the village chief''s house. Along the way, I also saw the same statue of the mountain god through the occasional open door of the rest of the houses. It is the key to the transformation of a body ghost¡±


    The girl said softly, "Every mountain god is a god of heaven and earth who protects one side. What does it have to do with ghosts?¡±


    "Although this is a good statement," Ji Yuenian waved the sleeves of his Zhan Qing Daoist robe, "But the mountain gods that have been worshiped by these two villages for generations do not exist at all!


    "Even the god of heaven and earth with the lowest rank among imperial gods protects the territory of thousands of miles, just like the god of Taichu worshiped in the ancient city of Taichu.


    "This mountain is only one of the outermost mountains of the Qingluan Mountain. It is extremely small. How can there be a mountain god enshrined here? If it is really protected by a mountain god, there is no way that this place would be so deserted. There are only two small villages that seem to be isolated from the world.


    "Their so-called mountain gods are just a figment of their imagination."


    The girl looked at Ji Yuenian strangely and said, ¡°Little Daoist is really smart, but even if the mountain god does not exist, what does this have to do with the ghost?"


    Ji Yuenian stepped forward, only a foot away from the young girl, looked down at her, and said. "Although the mountain god does not exist, but the mountain god statue has absorbed the will of the villagers for many years, but there was no spirituality in it from the beginning to the end.


    "During the past two days, there were many ghosts in the pouring rain. It should be that a ghost came to the Mao Cao village and noticed the abnormality of the mountain god statue, so it was divided into hundreds of mountain god statues in the village. The willpower accumulated in the body was transformed to gain a new birth. From then on it was no longer trapped by the celestial phenomena (heaven) and was completely freed from the body of a ghost, and has now become a ghost that can truly cultivate."


    "Girl, am I right?"


    The girl didn''t say a word, just looked at Ji Yuenian and fell silent.


    Ji Yuenian smiled and continued: "Unfortunately, after you were born, not only did you lose the body of a ghost, you also lost all kinds of strange abilities as a body ghost. You have become a pitiful ghost, and you can only lead me here by means of a maze."


    "Even if you guessed it, so what?" The braided girl erupted with strong ferocious spirit, and condensed the figure of a woman in the void, "It''s a pity that you didn''t guess my cultivation level, so you¡¯re going to die the same way!"


    The fierce ghost power swept out. This ghost actually had a terrifying cultivation realm of the upper realm!


    Meanwhile, after the braided girl lost her body, her eyes became dull and gradually turned into a pile of scattered bones under the pervading ghostly energy.

 Ch. 18 - Life or Death

    Ji Yuenian lifted his head and looked up at the woman floating in the air, and said softly, "If I guessed correctly, after you were born with the help of willpower, you should have been restricted in some way. Which made it so that you couldn¡¯t leave the fringes of Mao Cao village at all; otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t have led me here so deliberately."The woman''s eyes were evidently shocked for the first time, and the ghostly aura around her body gradually diminished.


    What Ji Yuenian said was correct. She only had the cultivation of the upper realm of True Dao Realm within the Mao Cao village. Once she left the village, she was just a special ghost that had entered the realm of Xuan.


    Although she sensed the arrival of the two Daoists and the sword-wielding youth the other day, she did not care at all, because once they entered the village, they would have been destroyed by their own actions.


    But Ji Yuenian arrived, she sensed a faint sense of crisis. Therefore, prompting her to spend a little of her body¡¯s energy. Forcibly splitting her ghost self to leave the village, possessing the body of the braided girl, and trying to lure Ji Yuenian in an attempt to kill him first.


    "Do you want those Mountain God statues in the village?" Ji Yuenian stood quietly outside the Mao Cao village and asked, all of a sudden.


    The woman''s eyes moved slightly, but she didn''t open her mouth.


    Ji Yuenian said in a spirited voice, "I can help you find them, but you need to give me the 30% origin energy."


    "Impossible!" The woman shook her head, "The Body Ghost Origin is different from the rest, and you¡¯re asking me for 30% of my origin, you can keep dreaming!"


    Ji Yuenian said nothing, turned his head, and left.


    When she left the Mao Cao village, this ghost has no more than the power of a Xuan realm. As long as he did not step into the Mao Cao village, there would be almost no danger under the protection of the golden Xuan energy of the Great Compassion Mantra.


    "Stop!" The woman''s voice came from behind, "At most, I will give you 10% of the ghost origin-energy, and you must find all the Mountain God statues in Mao Cao Village."


    The young man did not turn back and said, "20%."


    The woman gritted her teeth, "If it weren''t for the fact that I lost my body and spirit, and couldn''t touch those Mountain Gods ¡­ That''s all, 20% then!"


    Even if she had to pay the full 20% of her body''s origin, she no longer hesitated because the will within the Mountain God statue was more important to her.


    "Okay."


    With that, he headed straight for the village.


    The Body Ghost Origin was of great use to him.


    ¡­


    The ancient city of Taichu, Ji family.


    ¡°Mother, do you really want to do this?"


    Ji Quexue''s little face was full of tears, she sobbed and raised her head, looking at the woman in front of her, who had a determined look on her face.


    The woman''s face softened a bit, she looked down at her and said in a low voice: "Quexue, mother''s affection for Ji Hong has never changed, but now he wants to push you and me into the abyss, mother doesn''t care. But you''re too young to have to live with that."


    "Father won''t do that," Ji Quexue stretched out her sleeve and wiped the tears on her face. "Father has always been kind and generous, how could he have the heart to let us bear the charge of murdering our eldest brother? I don''t believe it!"


    "Kind and generous?" The woman shook her head with a smile and reached out to touch Ji Quexue''s blue hair. "Quexue, listen to your mother, take the things I gave you and leave quickly, and never come back."


    Boom!


    The door was smashed to pieces by violent Dao energy!


    "Leave? Where do you want Ji Quexue to go?"


    With a frosty face, Ji Hong strode in, followed by more than ten extremely powerful elite guards of the Ji family.


    "Master!?" The woman''s expression changed slightly. She never thought that Ji Hong would come to the side yard at this time, and break into the room so rudely.


    Ji Liuguang, the only son of the third branch of Ji''s family, stood from behind Ji Hong and said in a low voice, "Patriarch, how would you like to deal with the two who murdered the eldest son?" S?a??h th? N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Xu Lihua¡¯er has a heart like that of a scorpion and a snake. Because of her hatred for the eldest son, Ji Yuenian, she sought the position given by the He Xuan Shangzhen for Ji Quexue. They invited an upper realm Spirit to destroy Ji Yuenian¡¯s cultivation base and threw him into the barrier of the heavenly furnace; not even his body could be retrieved from there.¡± As Ji Hong¡¯s cold voice sounded, the woman¡¯s complexion paler and paler. ¡°There two are heinous beyond repentance. The patriarch of the family has decided to ¡­ execute them on the spot for their crimes.¡±


    Ji Liuguang was stunned for a moment, then looked sideways at the mother and daughter pair, feeling an unbearable pang in his heart. But then he forcibly suppressed it with reason and respectfully replied, "I¡¯ll follow the will of the Patriarch."


    "Father! It''s not true! Lord Patriarch! Ji Yuenian ¡­ the eldest son is really not our fault! Father!" Ji Quexue crawled over crying, hugging Ji Hong''s thigh, apparently incoherent.


    "Quexue, come back," Xu Lian''er raised her head, looked at the man she loved the most, and gritted her teeth. "Ji Hong knows better than anyone that you and I are innocent, so what''s the use of talking to him about this?"


    More than ten elite guards of the Ji family stood in the hall expressionless, waiting for orders.


    Ji Hong lowered his head and looked at the crying Ji Quexue, and glanced at the silent Ji Liuguang beside him, his brows frowned slightly, and said coldly, "Ji Liuguang, you won¡¯t do it yet!?"


    In order to support the third branch to suppress Ji Luoyan and Ji Baiyu''s second branch, Ji Hong had also taken great pains. At this time, he still wanted to help Ji Liuguang to establish some power.


    "Yes, master!"


    Ji Liuguang calmed down and pulled out the long sword from his waist with his backhand. Without hesitation, he slashed towards Ji Quexue at Ji Hong''s feet!


    He had not yet ignited his Heart Fire and was not considered a real cultivator.


    "Stop!"


    The sound of the gold and iron clanging was heard throughout the entire hall, and Xu Lian''er rushed over with a small sword at some point, which stopped Ji Liuguang''s sword stance.


    "Ji Hong, although my father has long expelled me from the family, but if you really kill me, are you not afraid that one day the Xu family will for you?"


    Xu Lian''er''s face was unpleasant, the family that she never wanted to think of became her and Ji Quexue''s only life-saving straw at this time.


    Ji Hong was expressionless and turned a deaf ear.


    Looking up at the sword which glowed coldly overhead, Ji Quexue froze in place.


    Only then did she truly believe that the dignified and generous father of the past really wanted her to die.


    "Why? Why!?"


    Looking up at the cold-faced Ji Hong, Ji Quexue felt a strangeness that she had never felt before.


    Although Ji Hong was the head of the family, he was not too harsh on her on weekdays, and he even cared for her sometimes. At this moment, in Ji Quexue''s eyes, all the previous memories of Ji Hong were shattered and replaced by his current cold and hard gaze.


    Boom!


    A crimson flame rose from the depths of her soul!


    She actually ignited a Heart Fire at this moment!


    Although the Ji family was one of the several aristocratic cultivators who govern the ancient city of Taichu, there were very few people who ignited their Heart Fire. There were only ten people in the Xuan Realm, and only two in the True Dao Realm. Which was enough to show how difficult it was to ignite one¡¯s Heart Fire.


    This was the case for cultivation families with cultivation resources and ancestral bloodlines, and it was hard to imagine how difficult it was for those mortals with no background whatsoever, to ignite Heart Fire.

 Ch. 19 - Sentient Ghost-devouring Armor

    For the first time, Ji Hong¡¯s expression changed. He waved his sleeves, brushed away Ji Liuguang¡¯s sword, and closed his eyes slightly. He, under the flow of Xuan Qi, sensed the phantom of the Heart Fire that slowly appeared in Ji Quexue¡¯s Divine Palace acupoint.The Heart Fire was attached to the soul. Once it burned, it would manifest the phantom of the flame in her Divine Palace, and absorb the essence of heaven, earth, sun, and the moon to refine it into xuan energy. This energy was the foundation of spiritual cultivation.


    Ji Liuguang was also stunned in place, with a trace of regret in his heart.


    Although he had some sympathy for Ji Quexue, considering how she was a beautiful sister from the clan, but now that she had ignited her Heart Fire, Ji Liuguang couldn¡¯t wait to give himself a few tight slaps. If only he had been fast and killed Ji Quexue directly ¡­ he definitely wouldn¡¯t have had to deal with such a variable.


    ¡°Quexue, you actually ¡­"


    Xu Lian''er''s eyes lit up with incomparable surprise. She hugged Ji Quexue who was kneeling on the ground, murmuring in a low voice.


    People who had their Heart Fire ignited were extremely rare, no matter where they were from. There were hundreds of thousands of residents in Taichu, but only less than 100 people had successfully ignited their Heart Fire. This figure was enough to stress on its rarity.


    Ji Hong opened his eyes, took a deep look at Ji Quexue on the ground, and said solemnly, ¡°The flame is vigorous and stable; sensitive to the sensation of Xuan Qi, it should be a Grade 6 Heart Fire sequence!¡±


    As soon as those words came out, Xu Lian''er and Li Liuguang froze on the spot. But even more astonished were the ten elite guards of the Ji family standing behind Ji Hong who had expressions of extreme shock.


    Grade 6!


    "How is this possible? There are only a few Grade 7 in Taichu! Not to mention the even rarer Grade 6 Heart Fire!" Xu Lian''er hugged Ji Quexue tightly, disbelief still coloring her face. "The dazzling eldest son, Ji Yuenian, was the only possessor of the rare Grade 6 Heart Fire sequence in the ancient city of Taichu in the past hundreds of years, and Quexue seems to be no different from him!"


    At the age of 6, Ji Yuenian had ignited the Grade 6 Heart Fire, and was ranked in the primary Xuan realm. At the age of 8, he had entered the upper Xuan realm, and at the age of 15, he had reached the half-step passage of the True Dao Realm, overpowering the bloodline descendants of the major cultivation families.


    Although the Grade 6 Heart Fire was not too rare in the huge Taiyu Ancient Sect; however, it most certainly was a dazzling sight to behold in Taichu!


    Ji Hong bent down and helped Ji Quexue up, composed his expression, and said, "Quexue, how do you feel?"


    Ji Quexue pursed her lips and fiercely pushed Ji Hong away, raised her tearful face, and said word by word, "Aren''t you going to kill me and my mother? I don''t need your showy concern!¡±


    "Quexue!" Ji Hong''s expression darkened. "I am your father."


    [ED: Lol! Jedi 101!]


    "Brazen Quexue! How dare you offend the family head!" Ji Liuguang could barely regain his senses, the fire of jealousy in his heart swelled, and he was so dazed that he drew his long sword and attacked Ji Quexue again!


    Chop!


    Snap!


    The long sword shattered, Ji Liuguang was directly thrown more than ten feet away by Ji Hong''s slap, breaking a pillar in the outer room.


    This was because Ji Hong was being merciful, otherwise, with his cultivation at the True Dao Realm, he wouldn¡¯t have even needed a palm to end Ji Liuguang.


    The Ji family''s guards were all silent, and they dared not make the slightest sound.


    Ji Hong made out a smile and said, "Quexue, now that Nian¡¯er is gone, you are my only daughter. The Ji family will naturally focus on cultivating you. From now on, I will groom you as a true direct descendant of the patriarch''s line. How about that?"


    After saying this, he glanced at Xu Lian''er casually, the meaning behind the gesture was self-evident!


    Xu Lian''er was silent for a moment. She sighed secretly, and stepped forward to hold Ji Quexue''s little face, saying softly, "Quexue, you now have ignited a Grade 6 Heart Fire sequence, the position, the one that He Xuan Shangzhen gave to Ji''s family, it must now belong to you.¡±


    Ji Quexue sobbed. "Mother, he really wanted to kill us just now, and he did not even acknowledge me as his own daughter!¡±


    "Sigh, you just ignited your Heart Fire, so let''s take a good rest first." Xu Lian''er took Ji Quexue in her arms, raised her head and gave Ji Hong a wink.


    Ji Hong nodded, and left the room without a word with many of the Ji family''s elite guards.


    Xu Lian''er said in a low voice, "Quexue, my original plan was to quietly send you to the Xu family, but now the Heart Fire you¡¯ve ignited is of the Grade 6 sequence. No one in the Ji family dares to touch you. The accusations of this crime can no longer be placed on our heads, this crisis has been resolved."


    Ji Quexue buried her head deeply in Xu Lian''er''s arms and could not help but weep.


    ¡­


    The ancient city of Taichu was majestic and vast. It was one of the nineteen ancient cities under the rule of Taiyu Ancient Sect. There were hundreds of thousands of human beings living in it, and they worshiped the God of the Taichu Lands.


    Ji Yuenian stopped slowly, raising his head and looked at the magnificent city wall that was more than 20 meters away, with a translucent black light flowing around in his palm. S?a?ch* Th? N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    As the mountain ghost¡¯s yin energy accumulated in his soul was gradually absorbed and transformed by the spiritual fire, his cultivation base was also thoroughly consolidated, and he was only one step away from achieving the Xuan Sea. The Xuan energy of the Xuan Sea was much stronger than the Xuan energy he was using now.


    "The Cultivation Manual Of The Secret Supernatural Power¡ªIndestructible Body" was created by a Divine Monarch who entered the Dao of the Buddha. The various real formulas in it were all-encompassing, and there was a very basic auxiliary type of body protection magical powers, which required a pure ghost Qi to perform refinement.


    With Ji Yuenian''s cultivation base at this time, apart from the simplest Azure Spiritual shield, only this body protection supernatural power could be cultivated.


    Sentient Ghost-devouring Armour.


    Although this supernatural skill could be cultivated through the use of ordinary origin ghost energy, Ji Yuenian used an extremely rare origin ghost energy, and even more bafflingly, he added the ¡°Soul Ashes¡± that he shed, in it. Making this an auxiliary type body protection divine skill that underwent all kinds of incredible and mysterious changes.


    The origin ghost energy used to refine the Sentient Ghost-devouring Armour was collected from the Mountain God statues and the mutated ghosts from the Mao Cao village in exchange.


    The most terrifying thing about the Sentient Ghost-Devouring Armor was that it was an auxiliary skill of the growth type. Once the training was completed, as long as the origin ghost energy was searched and refined into it in the future, its protective ability would continue to grow. It was also due to this property, there was the word "Sentient" in it.


    "The Cultivation Manual Of The Secret Supernatural Power¡ªIndestructible Body" was an amazing and brilliant self-invented divine skill of the Divine Monarch, and its depth could not be predicted in any way.


    With the flick of his long fingers, a black light spread upwardly from his arm, and in a few moments, a faint translucent ghost armor wrapped around his whole body. It appeared alive, flickering with profound runes and gray aura.


    Apparently, this Sentient Ghost-Devouring Armor made from the origin ghost energy and "Soul Ashes" was much stronger than the Sentient Ghost-Devouring Armor recorded in the Indestructible Body Manual.

 Ch. 20 - The One Who Is Ignorant Will Harm Himself!

    "Zhao Yue, go over and have a look."Under the majestic West City Gate, dozens of cold-hearted city guards clad in black armor checked the bustling crowd in great detail. One of them, a young man who looked like a leader, glanced at the place where Ji Yuenian was standing. Turning his head, he gave an order to a guard beside him.


    Zhao Yue responded in a low voice and walked straight out of the West City Gate.


    The walls of the ancient city of Taichu were really too high, the gates were also very wide, and there were many people coming and going. In order to prevent some ghosts and demons from sneaking into Taichu, these black armored city guards were dedicated and dared not slack in the slightest.


    Ji Yuenian stood on the spot for a long time, and his aura was unlike that of a mortal¡¯s, and he had already attracted the attention of these black armored city guards.


    "I''m afraid this Taoist Master is not from the ancient city of Taichu?"


    Zhao Yue walked over and slightly clasped his hands towards Ji Yuenian. Although he looked calm, there was already a storm brewing in his heart.


    The city guard token on his waist was warm, and there was a dazzling black light that flashed endlessly around it, which meant ¡­ it sensed a strong ghostly aura on Ji Yuenian!


    Moreover, judging from the fierce reaction of the token, he was afraid this person was not an ordinary ghost at all!


    At this time, Zhao Yue had already concluded that Ji Yuenian was a ghost, but he was very worried about his own safety and did not dare to turn around and run away. So he turned his head slightly and frantically moved towards the bunch of black armored city guards under the west gate to attract their attention.


    "Why do you say that?"


    Ji Yuenian smiled slightly and shook his head. He thought and flicked his fair and slender fingers slightly, inadvertently putting the Sentient Ghost-devouring Armor back into the Divine Palace Acupoint.


    With the disappearance of the ghost armor, the token on Zhao Yue''s waist gradually became silent.


    "Zhao Yue, what''s wrong!?" S?a??h th? N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    The leader of the black-armored guards noticed Zhao Yue''s abnormality, and asked in a deep voice, walking quickly towards him along with several people.


    "Commander Ji Bugui, this person is a ghostly creature! He wants to infiltrate the territory within the city walls of Taichu!" Zhao Yue looked a little scared, and he slowly retreated towards the West City Gate as he spoke.


    "Ghostly creature!?" An ordinary person just happened to pass by. Hearing this, he could not help but look at Zhao Yue with the eyes as if he were looking at a fool.


    More passersby did not care about these things that had nothing to do with them at all, and hurried away after glancing casually.


    Ji Bugui raised his foot and kicked Zhao Yue''s butt fiercely, scolding in a cold voice, "What a bummer! This is the ancient city of Taichu! How could there be ghosts who dare to enter with such wanton?"


    Demons, spirits, etc. had at least been recognized by the human race. The ancient city of Taichu now strictly prohibited demons and ghost from entering, simply because this city was occupied by humans only. In the rest of the ancient cities under the rule of Taiyu Ancient sect, there were many demon cities full of monsters.


    But, the ghosts were completely different. Besides, there was a righteous god namely Supreme God of Earth guarding the territory. No ghost or demon would dare to approach the ancient city of Taichu. Even if a trace of the righteous God''s power remaining on the city wall escaped, it was enough to crush a ghost of the True Dao Realm ghost into powder.


    "Commander Ji Bugui, I really didn''t lie to you! The token really sensed a very strange ghost power just now!" Zhao Yue took down his city guard token from his waist with a disheartened face.


    But, then his expression completely froze. The token had completely recovered its previous calm, without the slightest reaction to it.


    "Idiot!"


    Ji Bugui showed an impatient look on his face, and pushed him aside, walking towards the place where Ji Yuenian stood.


    "Ji Bugui ¡­ Are you a member of the fourth house of the Ji family?" Ji Yuenian glanced at Ji Bugui and said softly.


    It was only at this moment that Ji Bugui saw Ji Yuenian''s appearance, and was stunned in place, shaking slightly all over his body.


    After a few breaths, he still seemed to be in disbelief, and tentatively asked, "Could it be the eldest ¡­ eldest Young Master?"


    After cleansing his soul and purifying his marrow, Ji Yuenian had undergone an incredible rebirth from the inside out, and his already handsome appearance turned even more enchanting than before, making Ji Bugui a little unsure for a while.


    Ji Yuenian nodded and said, "It''s me."


    "Eldest son! It''s actually you!?"


    Ji Bugui''s expression was extremely excited. He had always been calm, but at this time, he was unusually at a loss.


    The ancient city of Taichu was vast and magnificent. There were hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in it, and the Ji family was one of several cultivation families that surpassed all mortals. And Ji Yuenian, who once ignited the Grade 6t Heart Fire sequence at the age of six, was the most dazzling existence among them.


    Even though Ji Bugui belonged to the Ji family, the eldest son, Ji Yuenian was still someone he couldn''t get in touch with on a regular basis.


    "Eldest son, you actually know me! It''s true ¡­ but haven''t you already ¡­ The Ji family is in chaos, now. It is good that you¡¯ve come back! I''ll bring you back to Ji''s house to meet the head of the family!"


    Under Ji Bugui''s emotional agitation, he was already somewhat speechless.


    "What kind of chaos? Let me hear about it." The young man flicked the sleeves of his robe, and a stream of azure xuan energy appeared, submerging between Ji Bugui''s eyebrows, which made his mind a lot more stable in an instant.


    "Thank you, Eldest Son," Ji Bugui suppressed his complicated feelings, and regardless of the Black-armored guards who looked at each other at a loss, he led Ji Yuenian to the magnificent West Gate. "After the eldest son disappeared, the position that Hexuan bequeathed upon the Ji family has become vacant. The elder Ji Luoyan had a big dispute with the head of the family, and the Ji family almost broke out in an irreversible civil strife!"


    Ji Yuenian thought for a moment and said, "Ji Luoyan definitely wants Ji Baiyu to take over my position, and my father ¡­ If there is no accident, he should¡¯ve changed to support Ji Liuguang, the only son of the third house?"


    "The eldest son''s calculation is divine." Ji Bugui''s eyes showed reverence and admiration. "But a few days ago, something happened to the Ji family that shocked the ancient city of Taichu, it ¡­"


    Before he could finish his words, Zhao Yue chased after him from a distance and shouted in a hurry, "Commander Ji Bugui, if you leave at this time, what will happen to the rotation of the west gate?"


    Ji Bugui turned his head to look at Zhao Yue, his eyes were slightly cold, and then he turned around and whispered to Ji Yuenian with some embarrassment, "Eldest son, I will deal with some chores first, and I will come later. "


    "Go." Ji Yuenian nodded slightly, but did not stop, and continued to walk forward slowly.


    Although the ancient city of Taichu was called a city, it was actually a vast territory surrounded by eight long city walls. Dozens of prosperous cities and towns stood in the outer city. Although the most majestic and grand central inner city was only a few dozen miles around, it was the real core of the ancient city of Taichu.


    Spirit fruit, Green Jade flower, Red Spirit fruit, Mysterious fragrant Rice ¡­ Countless spirit fruits were planted on both sides of the broad official road, stretching infinitely across the vast territory. There were also many mortals who took care of them carefully in the spiritual field and dared not relax for a moment. This was the basis for them to settle down in the ancient city of Taichu.


    No matter what kind of spiritual fruit they planted, these mortals could only keep 20% each year, and the remaining 80% were turned over to the inner city as spiritual tax to support several cultivating families who were in charge of the ancient city of Taichu.


    The seeds of these spirit fruits were uniformly distributed by Taiyu Ancient Sect to nineteen ancient cities many years ago. So even if only 20% was left, it was enough food and clothing for these mortals, and there was even a lot of surplus, which could be exchanged for silver.


    The silver coins here referred to the silver taels used by mortals. After all, 99% of the creatures in the ancient city of Taichu were ordinary mortals who had never ignited their Heart Fire. It was impossible for them to be like a few cultivation families, possessing precious spiritual stones as trade items.


    Spiritual stones were jade stones that contained rich heaven and earth Qi, from which any race could draw pure heaven and earth Qi.


    The vastness of the world couldn''t be defined, and new spiritual stone veins were born in certain corners almost every moment. Therefore, spiritual stones had gradually become something that could be traded between living beings that could practice cultivation, and it had almost never changed.


    "Do you know who that person was just now? How dare you shout here?"


    Ji Bugui''s expression was extremely gloomy, and he looked coldly at Zhao Yue in front of him.


    At that time, there were already several city guards in black armor who found some clues. They hurriedly greeted Ji Bugui, and then they each mounted their horses and ran towards the inner city far away.


    The return of the eldest son of the Ji family was a huge matter, and it would surely cause a sensation in the entire inner city.


    Zhao Yue also seemed to realize that his act of stopping Ji Bugui just now was a little stupid, and stammered, "Ji Bugui ¡­ Commander, I didn''t ¡­ mean anything else, I just ¡­"


    "You are courting death!" Ji Bugui pulled out his long sword and slashed towards Zhao Yue''s wrist fiercely!


    The cold light flashed away, and Zhao Yue''s left hand fell in response.


    Large amount of blood spurted out, and Zhao Yue let out a shrill scream. His right hand grabbed the broken wrist of his left hand, and he knelt on the ground, crying out in pain.


    "Dog, how dare you delay me while I was pleasing the eldest son. You should consider yourself lucky for not being killed with this sword right now!" Ji Bugui spat fiercely on the top of Zhao Yue''s head, and turned his head to the rest of the black armored city guards. He sakd coldly, "Everyone who¡¯s going to report the news has already gone. You and the others will stay at the West City Gate for me, and you must not leave!"


    These people glanced at Zhao Yue''s tragic state, and they all said trembling, "Yes, Commander Ji Bugui."


    Ji Bugui snorted coldly, and instead of riding his horse, he turned around and quickly walked towards Ji Yuenian, who was on the main road in the distance.


    Although the recruitment of black armored city guards was extremely strict, after all, most of the low ranked city guards were mortal warriors from the outer city. There were nearly a thousand black armored city guards, and some of them were occasionally stupid. It was not surprising.


    This Zhao Yue was one of them.


    Although Ji Bugui was only a small commander, he was backed by the Ji family, a family of cultivators in the inner city, and his status was much higher than that of Zhao Yue.

 Ch. 21 - Smash Your Mouth(1)

    "I remember that you are also considered to be from the direct lineage of the fourth house, so why did you lower your status and go to the eight gates of the outer city to serve as a guard?"Ji Yuenian stopped and looked sideways at Ji Bugui, who was panting beside him, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.


    Ji Bugui had not ignited his Heart Fire. Although he was highly skilled in martial arts, he still had a mortal body. After he taught Zhao Yue a lesson in the west gate, he hurriedly chased after Ji Yuenian along the main road.


    "My eldest son." Ji Bugui gave a wry smile. "Although I am a direct descendant of the fourth house, I am not able to receive the spirit herbs and medicines from Ji family like other people. So I can only take the initiative to be enlisted to the eight outer city gates and become a patrolling commander at the western gate, receiving a monthly salary in the form of spiritual grains.


    [ED: Usually a person of position is addressed by their office or title in Ancient China and even modern times, this extends to the seniority of siblings or household hierarchy.]


    Ji Yuenian looked at the mortals walking along on the broad road, and said softly, "Why? I remember that the elders of the Ji Family Elders Association treat each house almost without bias, except that the Patriarch''s lineage accounted for 50% of the resources, The rest of the house should be even."


    Ji Bugui''s face became more bitter as he said, "The eldest son doesn''t know anything, this matter has nothing to do with the fourth house. A few years ago, I was convicted for falsely talking about the elders. Not only was I imprisoned for half a year, but I was also forever banned from allocation in the family. There is no way for me to get the least bit of resource in the Ji household."


    While the two were talking, two luxurious carriages galloped side by side in the middle of the main road, raising showers of sand and dust. Many pedestrians on both sides of the road all showed resentment, but no one dared to complain. The carriage was made of gold and jade, and it looked like a big shot in the inner city was passing by, and no one wanted to ask for trouble.


    Ji Yuenian frowned slightly, flicked the sleeves of the Daoist robe, and all the dust that flew over was obliterated into nothingness. Ji Bugui observed the scene, secretly thinking that his opportunity had come, and immediately jumped forward, stopping the carriage after a few ups and downs.


    "Who is so daring to stop my Zhao residence''s carriage?"


    A coachman scolded and jumped out of the carriage. He was about to speak out, but he suddenly recognized the black commander armor worn by Ji Bugui, and his face became a little solemn.


    "It turns out the carriage of the Zhao''s, so what? How can the carriage of Zhao Family be so presumptuous?" Ji Bugui pulled out a long sword from behind and placed it in front of him, ignoring the coachman at all.


    The coachman''s eyes moved slightly, but he was extremely alert and did not respond. Instead, he turned around and opened the curtain of the carriage and reported in a low voice.


    After a few breaths, a gentle female voice like a yellow warbler came out from the carriage, "Which outer city patrol commander is here?"


    Ji Bugui snorted and said, "The big city gate on the west side, Ji Bugui."


    The female voice turned silent for a moment, then said softly, "It turned out to be Commander Ji, but my Zhao family''s carriage has always been so presumptuous, what do you want?"


    Although her voice was extremely gentle and pleasant, she did not take Ji Bugui seriously at all.


    Most of the patrol commanders of the outer city were promoted from the commoners. For the cultivation families in the inner city, they were no different from ants.


    Although it was very likely that Ji Bugui''s surname was from the Ji family, he was sent to the west side of the city gate as a commander. It meant that even if this person really came from the Ji family, he must have no status in the Ji family.

    "Then get off the carriage and let this commander check carefully to see if there are demons or spirits that have possessed you!"


    Ji Bugui did not give in an inch, the long sword in his hand glowed with a cold light.


    "Presumptuous! Miss Zhao Yanran can also be checked by an idiot like you?" A voice of chastisement fell on his ears, and a young man in a green robe walked down from another carriage, looking coldly at Ji Bugui.


    The Initial Stage of Xuan Realm! This was a talent from Zhao family whose Heart Fire was ignited.


    The commander token on his waist had already faintly sensed the cultivation of the young master in green robe, making Ji Bugui''s heart tremble. But, then he thought of the eldest son who was watching from behind, so he did not dare to show any weakness.


    "I don''t care who you are." Ji Bugui gritted his teeth and said word by word, "The inspection can be waived, but just now Miss Zhao''s carriage raised the dust and splashed on my Eldest Son. She must give account to him in person, and make amends."


    Young Master in green robe laughed angrily, shook his head and said, "When did the eight gates of the outer city have such idiots? They don''t even know the carriage of my Zhao family? I really don''t know what to say."


    After the words were finished, he made a seal casually, and a mysterious light appeared out of thin air, directly smashing Ji Bugui''s longsword into pieces. The shards of the blade shattered and scattered, causing his entire body to be overturned several meters away by the impact. One of the sharp residual blades cut off a large piece of flesh and blood directly from the left side of his face.


    The gurgling blood gushed out from his wound, but Ji Bugui didn''t say a word, endured the pain and barely got up. He tore a piece of cloth from the cuff to cover the wound on his left face, and said ruthlessly, "I said, you¡¯ll have to kneel down and apologize to the Eldest Son, do you hear me?"


    At that time, dozens of people had stopped here, pointing at the two carriages. Although the main road was wide, there were gradually more and more pedestrians passing by.


    She stretched out a slender, snow-white jade hand and opened the curtain of the carriage. Zhao Yanran walked down slowly, her face a little unhappy as she said, "Zhao Si Xing, why don''t you hurry up and run over this idiot and his Eldest Son? My Zhao family is being pointed at here, are you not ashamed of yourself?"


    Zhao Si Xing, the green robed male, hesitated for a moment, then said, "Miss Yanran, after all, this person is the commander of the big city gate on the west side. If we kill him directly, I''m afraid some ¡­"


    "As a member of the Zhao family, when did you become so timid?" Zhao Yanran gave Zhao Si Xing a cold look.


    Although she had never ignited her Heart Fire, she had a very special position in the Zhao family. Even Zhao Si Xing, the son of the concubine of the family head, who had already ignited his Heart Fire, dared not pretend to be a senior in front of her.


    "I see," Zhao Si Xing replied, turning his head to look at Ji Bugui. "Where is your Eldest Son? Call him out quickly, and I will kill the two of you together."

 Ch. 22 - Smash Your Mouth (2)

    Just now Ji Yuenian stood far away, and as the number of onlookers gradually increased, he was already submerged in the crowd.Ji Bugui sneered and did not say a word, but his heart was vaguely shaken.


    The Eldest Son had a cultivation at the half-step True Dao Realm long before his disappearance. Everyone knew about this, and based on this capital, he dared to challenge Zhao Si Xing who was at the Initial Stage of the Xuan Realm. But, if the Eldest Son really did not take action, then he would probably have an extremely tragic ending today.


    Either don''t gamble, or gamble to the end, there''s no place for hesitation.


    Thinking of this, Ji Bugui forcibly composed his mind, raised his head and laughed. "You want to see my Eldest Son, are you worthy? Do you know who my Eldest Son is?"


    Zhao Si Xing''s eyes were cold. He once again formed a seal, and a mysterious light shot straight at Ji Bugui''s neck. "It''s ridiculous to be mad at the end of your life! I''ll take off your dog head first, then find your Eldest Son''s doghouse!" S?a?ch* Th? ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Ji Bugui spat fiercely, and then closed his eyes directly.


    ''Eldest Son, you must make a move, I don''t want to die yet.''


    After a few breaths, Ji Bugui felt that he had not died, so he slowly opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was Zhao Si Xing''s extremely shocked face.


    "You just said that my Ji family is a doghouse?"


    Ji Yuenian was dressed in an azure robe, his long black hair was tied up with a white jade hairpin, and his beautiful and delicate eyebrows were encompassed in a layer of icy coldness.


    Only then did Zhao Si Xing come back to his senses, his face was a little flustered, and he said, "This ¡­ It turns out to be a member of the Ji family, I ¡­"


    If it was an ordinary member of the Ji family, Zhao Si Xing would not be so panicked at all, but the person in front of him annihilated his profound light spell with one look. What a terrifying cultivation level!


    "I don''t know which son of the Ji family is in front of me?"


    Zhao Yanran had just gotten into the carriage, but at that time, she walked down again.


    Although she was surprised by Ji Yuenian''s appearance at first, she had no memory of this person at all.


    The only two descendants of the Ji family who had lit their Heart Fire were Ji Baiyu from the second house of the Ji family, and Ji Quexue, who shook the ancient city of Taichu some time ago.


    Ji Yuenian shook his head slightly, and just quietly looked at Zhao Si Xing, saying, "Zhao Si Xing, the son of the Zhao family, has spoken out of turn. So, I will temporarily replace the head of the Zhao family and teach you a lesson by smashing your mouth."


    After the words were finished, his pale and slender fingers also formed an incomparably complicated seal, and several golden xuan energies flowed out, turning into several extremely sharp golden light blades that swept towards Zhao Si Xing!


    Zhao Si Xing''s face couldn''t help but change greatly. He was a person in the initial stage of the Xuan Realm who had ignited his Heart Fire, but at that time, he was very clearly aware of a completely irresistible tyrannical force within these golden light blades!


    In a hurry, Zhao Si Xing finally managed to condense a shield of profound light in front of him, but amidst that slight delay, the sharp golden blades were already in front of him!


    Boom!


    The shield was instantly torn like a piece of paper, and the golden blades appeared as if they were slicing tofu, twisting the lower half of Zhao Si Xing''s face into pieces of flesh and blood.


    Bright red blood and tears flowed from Zhao Si Xing''s eyes, and the lower half of his face turned hollow, making him incapable of producing a sound. He sat cross-legged directly on the ground, and did not hesitate to spend part of his soul essence. He used the power of the Heart Fire to seal the wound tightly, and then closed his eyes and adjusted his breath.


    If it was a mortal, he would have died after receiving such a trauma, but Zhao Si Xing was a cultivator who had ignited his Heart Fire. And Ji Yuenian had deliberately restrained his strength, which allowed him to not reap the other¡¯s life.


    Many mortals who were watching had already escaped several dozen feet when Zhao Si Xing made his move, but at that time, they all withdrew more than ten feet again, watching from a distance.


    "I just passed by here, what kind of god is fighting?"


    "As far as I know, it should be the dispute between the Zhao family and the Ji family."


    "That''s right, the young master in the green robe who had his nose and mouth gouged out is the arrogant figure of the Zhao family in the inner city. He is said to be a supreme celestial who has his Heart Fire ignited."


    "Heart Fire ignited, yet he was crushed into this shape?"


    "Stay far away, these big men in the inner city will never need any reason to take our lives."


    "You are right. We can just watch the excitement from afar. It''s better for mortals to leave when the gods fight and bring about disaster!"


    ¡­


    At that time, the wound on Ji Bugui''s face had already congealed with bloody scabs. He looked down at Zhao Si Xing, who was a hundred times worse than himself, and secretly cried out in joy.


    "You ¡­ you are bold! Who are you! As far as I know, apart from Ji Baiyu and Ji Quexue, among the younger generations of the Ji family, there is no other young scion who has ignited their Heart Fire!"


    Zhao Yanran never ignited her heart fire, she just saw Zhao Si Xing''s defeat, and in a split second, her complexion changed drastically. She asked in a delicate voice.


    Ji Bugui stepped out from behind Ji Yuenian, snorted coldly, and said, "Miss Zhao Yanran, I''m afraid you forgot. The Ji family also has a eldest son who excelled his peers, and he ignited his Heart Fire as early as eleven years ago."


    Zhao Yanran was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ji Yuenian again.


    He was indeed handsome, but he did not look like any Ji family son that she knew.


    Suddenly, a flash of lightning shone across her mind.


    Zhao Yanran opened her mouth slightly and exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be ¡­ Could you be ¡­ the eldest son of Ji Yuenian who is rumored to have died!"


    As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar all around!


    A little light appeared in Ji Yuenian''s eyes, and between the flicks of his sleeves, an azure xuan energy appeared out of thin air, directly rolling up Zhao Yanran several feet high, and smashing her into the Zhao family''s carriage.


    "I am Ji Yuenian."

 Ch. 23 - Divine Sea Realm

    Boom!The luxurious and exquisite carriage collapsed directly into thousands of pieces, but a layer of white jade-like mysterious light floated around Zhao Yanran''s body, which firmly protected her.


    "Could it be that this boy ¡­ is really the eldest son of the Ji family which has been dominating the inner city!?"


    "Haha, even the nobles from cultivation families go through such embarrassing moments!"


    "It is said that this woman is the very famous Miss Zhao Yanran of the Zhao family. Even in the inner city, she is considered a person of importance!¡±


    "Ji Yuenian was very famous a while back. Even my countryman in the outer city knows his name. He is a genius who ignited his Heart Fire when he was just six years old!"


    "I was fortunate enough to see the portrait of the eldest son of the Ji family. If we look closely, this robed boy is really the eldest son of Ji Yuenian who trounced his peers!" S?a??h the N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    "But I heard not long ago that Young Master Ji has already disappeared in the Qingluan Mountains, where demons run rampant, and one will die if they enter!"


    Nearly a hundred onlookers were talking, many of them from the inner city of the Ancient City of Taichu, and even a few people from the Xuan Realm who ignited their Heart Fire silently looked at the people in the center of the main road.


    The smoke gradually dissipated, and Zhao Yanran stood up in embarrassment, her eyes full of fear.


    The Ji family¡¯s, Ji Yuenian, of the Ancient City of Taichu. People of the same generation were overwhelmed by this name for eleven years. Although Zhao Yanran had a very special identity in the Zhao family, she did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Ji Yuenian.


    Moreover, if one thought about it carefully, Ji Yuenian was still one of her closest cousins. However, because of Ji Yuenian''s mother''s early death, the relationship between him and the Zhao family was actually very ordinary; with very little contact through rare interaction over the years. Only Zhao Xiaoyun, the second son of the main line of the Zhao family, was slightly closer to the Ji family.


    "It turns out that my cousin is here." Zhao Yanran thought for a moment, and the pale white shield around her body gradually faded. She lowered her head and said apologetically, ¡°I''m sorry if I was rude. I didn''t realize that my cousin was in front of me."


    Although she never ignited the Heart Fire, she had several treasures protecting her, and the pale white halo that protected her just now was one of them.


    Ji Yuenian studied Zhao Yanran¡¯s attitude and mannerism, then said softly, ¡°There is no need to be so polite, I have nothing to do with the Zhao family, and I am not familiar with you at all."


    Having said that, he turned around and walked towards the inner city along the official road.


    Ji Bugui glanced at Zhao Yanran, whose face was dark, and Zhao Sixing, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, snorted lightly, and quickly turned to follow.


    After a moment of silence, furious discussions erupted!


    Zhao Si Xing suddenly opened his eyes, and xuan energy flowed across the lower half of his face, briefly revealing the flesh and blood on his lips. He said in a low voice, "Miss Yanran, Ji Yuenian, who was rumored to have died, suddenly returned unscathed. I should go back and report this matter as soon as possible."


    Nodding lightly, Zhao Yanran''s complexion became extremely gloomy. She gritted her teeth and said, "This fellow is so arrogant! He''s just a savage with a lowly bloodline!"


    Zhao Sixing''s complexion changed drastically in an instant, and he said anxiously, "Miss Yanran, be careful! Be careful!"


    Zhao Yanran understood that she had made a slip of the tongue, so she stopped speaking, went forward, and lifted the curtains, stepping into the intact and luxurious carriage.


    Ji Yuenian''s mother was named Zhao Yinyue, who was the closest sister of the current Zhao family''s head, but her identity was somewhat different from ordinary Zhao family members. She was born of the old family head and a female ghost. She was bullied in the Zhao family.


    It was not until Ji Hong married Zhao Yinyue that she gradually gained her due status and respect in the Zhao family, but seven days after Ji Yuenian was born, Zhao Yinyue, who was only sixteen years old, died. It caused quite a stir in the Ancient City of Taichu.


    North Luzhou City had endless territory. The territory worshiped one of the six Imperial Emperors, Emperor Zhenwu. It was ruled by the Heavenly King Duowen who abandoned Buddhism and entered the Heavenly Court.


    The immeasurable beings in it all had a limited lifespan. Except for the Third Tribulation powerhouse created by the power and good fortune, the basic lifespan of any famous person was under the control of the life and death spirits in the Nether Realm.


    The three tribulations were the major gateway that must be overcome by beings who had reached a certain level of cultivation.


    After each tribulation, the cultivation base and lifespan would skyrocket countless times. If one passed through the third tribulation completely, he wouldn''t have to suffer from the constant changes of life and death.


    An ordinary person''s basic life expectancy was mostly around a hundred years old. Even if there were some short-lived people, if they didn''t meet any accident, they would at least have a basic life expectancy of more than seventy years old.


    However, Zhao Yinyue died when she was only sixteen years old. Even Daoist Hexuan, who had reached the great perfection of the True Dao Realm, had been invited to come for her induction inspection, and the final conclusion was still that Zhao Yinyue died because of the exhaustion of her lifespan.


    The Great perfection of the True Dao Realm was a very special realm. Although it was still in the True Dao Realm, it represented the Great Perfection of the True Dao Realm. If one were fortunate enough to go further, he could rank among the Divine Sea Powerhouse that were enough to shock the hundreds of thousands of miles of territory.


    Even the most powerful Sect, Taiyu Ancient Sect, in the Yuanyan Realm now had less than ten powerhouses in the Divine Sea Realm.


    The Xuan Realm, the True Dao Realm, the Divine Sea Realm.


    Although there were only three known realms. Within a hundred thousand beings, even one or two True Dao Realm cultivators might not be born, let alone the extremely mysterious Divine Sea Realm.


    At that time, with the departure of the Zhao family''s carriage, the onlookers also slowly dispersed, and the wide main road gradually returned to its former calm.


    The news that Ji Yuenian, the eldest son of the Ji family, had returned intact, spread throughout the magnificent and vast Taichu¡¯s territory at a very fast speed. All the major cultivators turned their attention to the Ji family for a while, waiting to watch a good show.


    Everyone knew that not long ago, Ji family gave birth to a genius who could be compared with Ji Yuenian. She was Ji Quexue, the daughter of Ji Hong, who awakened a Grade 6 Heart Fire Sequence.


    Normally, Ji Yuenian''s safe and sound return should have been a great joy for the Ji family, but at that time, it was only a few dozen days before the Taiyu Sect''s outer court opened its gate, and the one position obtained by the Ji family to directly enter the outer court had already fallen in Ji Quexue''s hands.


    Even the Great Elder Ji Luoyan, who had always insisted on letting Ji Baiyu replace Ji Yuenian, had nothing to say this time. The Grade 6 Heart Fire Sequence was enough to suppress all the dissenting voices in the Ji family.


    Two people possessing Grade 6 Heart Fire Sequence appeared in the Ji family at the same time, and they were both direct descendants of the family head. They both were qualified to directly gain the position of Taiyu Ancient Sect''s outer court disciple. Whom would the Ji family hand over the position? Not only were a few cultivating families waiting to see a good show, but even many Xuan Realm and even True Dao Realm loose cultivators who lived in the inner city, had all focused their attention on Anyang City, where the Ji family was located.


    ¡­


    One of the eight major cities in the inner city of Taichu, Anyang City.


    Ji Family.


    "What did you say!?" Ji Hong stood up abruptly and stared at Xu Jianghe, the commander of the guards in front of him.


    "Nian''er is back?"


    Xu Jianghe looked solemn and respectfully saluted.


    "Patriarch, there is indeed news of the return of the eldest son from the outer city, and the people I just sent have also returned. This is absolutely true!"

 Ch. 24 - Fate

    Ji Hong paced back and forth in the hall, his expression a canvas of myriad changes. After a while, he gradually calmed down, and said, ¡°It is a great joy to have the son return on the new year! Xu Jianghe, make haste and heed my order. Go down and carefully ornament Anyang City to welcome the return of my eldest son!¡±Xu Jianghe responded affirmatively and went away.


    Ji Hong sat back on the throne of the palace, his eyes were clouded and uncertain, as if he was hesitating about something.


    ¡­


    It was already midnight.


    The moment night fell, the already slightly cold Anyang City lit up with a myriad of lights one after another. There were big red lanterns hanging high on the streets, bridges, downtown and other places. It seemed that every corner was flickering with gentle lights.


    The streets were bustling with people, and many stalls and hawkers were shouting and peddling their goods. The young ladies in luxurious clothes walked hand in hand under the lanterns, and there were even more gorgeous wood carved chariots slowly passing by, which added a touch of color to the lantern festival.


    Anyang City, one of the eight inner cities, was the city under the direct control of the Ji family. Ninety percent of the mortals living here had the surname Ji. Most of the people in the city were descendants of the Ji family''s many collateral bloodlines, except for the four main families who lived here.


    The annual Anyang City Lantern Festival should not have been held at this time, but Ji Hong, the head of the Ji family, ordered the Lantern Festival which was half a month later to be held today. The specific reason was not stated.


    However, as the rumors spreading through the eight major cities of the inner city of Taichu became increasingly intense, it was common knowledge that Ji Yuenian, the eldest son of the Ji family, was heading towards Anyang City at that time.


    The territory within the city walls of the ancient city of Taichu was extremely extensive. The large gate on the west side of the outer city was considerably far from the core inner city. If one traveled on foot, it would take at least several hours.


    ¡­


    "A lantern festival?" Ji Bugui looked at the lights in Anyang City from afar, appearing a little surprised. "Eldest son, as it happens, there is a lantern festival taking place tonight in Anyang City."


    The moonlight cascaded over Ji Yuenians azure robe, and it appeared as if a bright silver light surrounded him.


    He said softly, "I probably know the intentions of my father." The moon reflected in his pupils.


    Ji Bugui was a little puzzled. "I just counted the days. According to usual practice, there are at least 10 days before the Lantern Festival in Anyang City. Does the Eldest Son mean ¡­ that this was an order from the Lord of the family?" S?a??h the N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Ji Yuenian flicked the sleeves of the robe and did not speak, instead continued to walk towards Anyang City under the bright white moonlight.


    The night breeze was frosty, and the memories of sixteen years ago came flooding back, creating chaos in his mind.


    ¡­


    The Lantern Festival was bright and cheerful.


    Zhao Yinyue stood quietly on the stone bridge, her head full of hair a blue fluttering in the wind as she looked down at the dark river swimming under the bridge.


    The moonlight seemed to have never changed a bit since ancient times, sprinkling on her snow-white neon clothes, changing the shade of her cold eyes, and her figure appeared like an immortal fairy.


    "Yue''er."


    Ji Hong, dressed in a black robe, walked slowly to the bridge, and gently embraced Zhao Yinyue''s shoulders from behind.


    Her delicate eyebrows were filled with frost and snow. She frowned slightly, and lightly opened her mouth, "What''s the matter?"


    "You just gave birth to a son a few days ago, so why did you sneak out again without a good few days of recuperation?" The concern in Ji Hong''s tone did not seem to be fake. "Go back quickly, if you like to see lanterns, I will ask someone to hang a hundred of them for you in the yard."


    At that time, he was not yet the head of the Ji family who held a mighty power.


    Zhao Yinyue shook her head and glanced at Ji Hong with a light smile. There was a hint of disdain in her tone as she said, "You and I have no relationship at all, why do you need to act like this?"


    Ji Hong was silent for a moment, took off his black robe, and put it lightly on Zhao Yinyue, saying, "You are born like a celestial being, I know that I am not worthy of you, but I did my best to keep you safe from the Zhao Family. Don''t you feel grateful for it?"


    "My mother was a ghost, and I''m not worthy of anyone." Zhao Yinyue flicked her hand and threw his black robe under the stone bridge. "I''m a little tired."


    After saying this, she turned around, holding onto the cold stone pillar, and walked slowly towards the bottom of the bridge, step by step.


    This river traversed through the entire Anyang City, and under the moonlight, there were countless waves swirling around, floating away with the black robe, and disappeared in an instant.


    "Yue''er."


    Ji Hong''s voice came from behind.


    Zhao Yinyue was facing him with her back, her eyes cold and lonely as the moonlight, "There is one more day."


    Ji Hong was stunned for a while, and asked subconsciously, "What does that mean? Yue''er, what are you talking about?"


    The woman dressed in snow-white neon clothes walked off the stone bridge, her head full of blue silk-like hair fluttering in the wind, and she never looked back.


    There were thousands of bright and noisy lights around her, but none of them belonged to her.


    ¡­¡­


    Stepping on snow to look for the sight of winter, with the burning candle to read books at night, (both of them are the normal life trajectory for a scholar), but fate is capricious.


    A clear and cold moon hangs day by day, making it feel like a gentle stream of water.


    Time passed so quickly that everything happened as if it were yesterday, black hair turning white in just a blink of an eye; fate is destined. Samsara is endless, the allure of mortal life is the same.

 Ch. 25 - Zhao Yinyue (1)

    Ji Bugui hurriedly stood up and followed him.Ji Yuenian''s eyes were a little obscure and gloomy when he slowly said, ¡°Ji Bugui, there is one thing I need you to do for me.¡±


    "Eldest son, please instruct me." Ji Bugui¡¯s voice was a little hoarse because of his swollen cheeks.


    "Zhao Yinyue passed away after the lantern festival sixteen years ago,¡± Ji Yuenian said softly. ¡°Now, Father greets me with the lantern festival at this time. Do you know why?"


    They had reached the banks of Linghui, outside of Anyang City, only a hundred zhang away from the wide open gates of Anyang city.


    [TN: 1 zhang = 10.94 ft (3.33 m); 100 zhang = 1093.61 ft (333.33 m)]


    The lights above the city gate were brightly lit, and dozens of Ji family guards were patrolling back and forth. One could faintly see the prosperity and bustle of Anyang city from the city gate.


    Ji Bugui thought for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Eldest Son, don''t embarrass me, the patriarch is aloof and majestic, and I''m just an insignificant son of a concubine of the fourth branch. How can I know what the lord is thinking?"


    Ji Yuenian glanced at the Ji Bugui¡¯s swollen cheeks and waved his sleeves and swept a dark luminance¡ªas black as ink¡ªat him, and said, ¡°You are not the fourth branch¡¯s concubine¡¯s son tonight, but the eldest son of Ji family¡¯s main line, Ji Yuenian.¡±


    The black light touched Ji Bugui''s head, and then spread towards his whole body. After a few short breaths, Ji Bugui''s entire body slowly twisted and changed under the black light, until it finally turned into a handsome man dressed in a black satin robe.


    His appearance and clothes changed and became a facsimile of Ji Yuenian before he was thrown into the Qingluan Mountains. S?a?ch* Th? N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    The Sentient Ghost-devouring Armor made from the origin ghost energy doped with "Soul Ashes" had a miraculous effect of illusion. However, due to the limitation of his Xuan Realm Cultivation, the armor could at most deceive a True Dao Realm Powerhouse.


    ¡°This ¡­ This ¡­¡±


    Ji Bugui touched his cheek, looked at his whole body, and his eyes were full of disbelief.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, a dull and incomparable roar spread throughout the world, and countless beings in the eight cities of Taichu all looked up, but did not notice anything of worth.


    A black and yellow figure was standing on the place Ji Yuenian were standing, seemingly appeared to have just come out of nowhere.


    This figure was extremely illusory and vague, with a mighty and magnificent aura surging around him, and incomparably complicated seal runes entwined on his robes. His indifferent eyes looked directly at Ji Bugui.


    Ji Bugui stood where he was, and stammered, "Tai ... Taichu Land Venerable... God. I am honored!"


    He never thought that the Taichu Land Venerable God, worshiped by hundreds of thousands of souls in the ancient city of Taichu, would appear in front of him in this way. Although it was just an incarnation, it was shocking enough.


    The Venerable God of Taichu was revered as a god, and was ranked ninth in heaven and earth. He enjoyed worship from incense and protected the territory of Taichu which was thousands of miles long.


    Ji Yuenian''s eyes were serene, and he stepped forward and said, "I pay respect to the Venerable God of Taichu Land."


    The figure glanced at Ji Yuenian lightly, and then turned his eyes back to Ji Bugui.


    Under the god¡¯s scrutiny, his whole body began to sweat coldly. He closed his eyes slightly and turned into countless mysterious yellow lights. The motes dissipated between heaven and earth.


    After the mighty aura of divine power completely disappeared, Ji Bugui was able to regain his senses, his legs softened, and he fell to the ground.


    The miraculous thing was that the aura of the Venerable God of Taichu was potent and vast, but no one noticed it at the gate of Anyang city, which was only a hundred zhang away. Those Ji family guards were still chatting and laughing in groups, and they all talked in dull and loud noise, and never cared to look here at all.


    "It''s unbelievable that I actually saw the Venerable God," Ji Bugui was shocked so much today that he felt a little numb. "Eldest son, why is this? And the spell you cast on me just now, what exactly is it?"


    Ji Yuenian looked at the place where the incarnation of The Cultivation Manual Of The Secret Supernatural Power¡ªIndestructible Body of the Taichu Lands dissipated, and said, "That is a skill refined by ghost energy. Except they lack spiritual wisdom, the rest everything is very similar to ghosts. There was a hint of hesitation in the eyes of the Venerable God, if he was more cold-blooded, I am afraid that you would have died immediately."


    Ji Bugui could not help but be sit still, frightened. After a while he muttered, ¡°In the small ancestral hall of the branch family, in addition to Emperor Zhen Wu, I also enshrine and worship the true form of the Venerable God of Taichu. So, no calamity befell on me today.¡±


    Although he clearly knew that the black light condensed by Ji Yuenian led to the encounter with the incarnation of the Venerable God, he did not mention it at all.


    ¡°You did not ignite your Heart fire. This can well confirm the rumor of how Ji Yuenian has lost his cultivation. It can temporarily help me lower the guards and vigilance of some people.¡± Ji Yuenian looked at Ji Bugui, and his eyes shone with golden sheen. ¡°Ji Bugui, are you willing to help me breakthrough this plot?¡±


    The Ji family did not have an existence at the upper stage of the True Dao Realm. They only had two people who were in the initial stage of the True Dao Realm: Patriarch Ji Hong and the Great Elder Ji Luoyan.


    Whether he was truly willing or not, Ji Bugui went to his knees and said, "I am willing to die for the Eldest Son."


    Ji Bugui was gambling.


    Moreover, he essentially had no choice at all.


    Ji Yuenian nodded and said, "You only have half of the Sentient Ghost-devouring Armor on your body, and the other half is with me. You don''t need to say much after you return to Anyang City, just pretend to have amnesia and wait for my instructions."


    Ji Bugui hesitated for a while, and then said, ¡°The Eldest Son¡¯s aura is worth ten million gold taels. I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to be a replicate your majesty. Additionally, Zhao Yanran and Zhao Sixing have already seen your current appearance, this matter ¡­¡±

 Ch. 26 - Zhao Yinyue (2)

    "There''s no need to worry about this matter." Ji Yuenian waved his hand. "The Zhao family and my Ji family have never been in harmony over the years, they would never come to Anyang City, and the ancient city of Taichu is so big that no one would know of it. I paid special attention to these details. As for the imitation ... Sentient Ghost-devouring Armor can protect you from any flaws, you are as I was before, and no one from the Ji family will see through it."Ji Bugui lowered his head slightly and said, "Yes, Eldest Son."


    "Let''s go."


    There was also a black light encompassing Ji Yuenian''s body, covering him up as much as possible, and after a while, he completely disappeared into the darkness on the banks of the Linghui river.


    Ji Bugui stood quietly in place for a long while, calmed down, and walked straight towards the gates of Anyang city.


    Although Ji Yuenian did not say it clearly, he was well aware of the danger.


    A Eldest Son Ji Yuenian, whose Heart Fire had been extinguished and who had lost all his cultivation base, was almost equivalent to a mortal. Did he really still have the incomparable status in the Ji family?


    Moreover, according to the rumors from the Chu family in the ancient city of Taichu, the person who designed the murder of the eldest son was most likely Ji Luoyan, the Elder of the Ji family.


    If he returned to the Ji family in place of Ji Yuenian as a mortal, devoid of cultivation, this could indeed test waters for the Eldest Son. He could gauge the Ji family¡¯s and Ji Hong¡¯s true attitude and thoughts on Ji Yuenian, but this also put him in an extremely dangerous position.


    The First Elder Ji Luoyan was able to plot against Ji Yuenian, who was half-step into the True Dao Realm, and threw him into the Qingluan Mountains.


    ...


    The news of the eldest son, Ji Yuenian¡¯s return after he went missing in the Qingluan Mountain for several days caused quite a stir in the entire city of Anyang. S?a??h th? N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    The lights gradually dimmed and died down by the time the moon occupied its seat in the middle of the sky.


    "Nian''er, who tried to harm you in the first place? I''m going to tear him to pieces!"


    Ji Hong slapped the table fiercely, his face full of uncontrollable anger.


    There were several people in the hall sitting high, and did not say a word, it was the elders of the Ji Family Elders.


    Ji Bugui''s heart trembled, and he could not bear the mental oppression of a True Dao Realm powerhouse, and secretly complained.


    "Master Patriarch, didn''t the Eldest Son just say that he lost all his memories in the mountains? From my point of view, it is better to let the Eldest son rest for a while now."


    A middle-aged man in a gray robe gave Ji Bugui a friendly look, stepped down from his seat, and cupped his hands towards Ji Hong.


    Ji Hong snorted coldly, and seemed to be a little relieved, withdrew his anger, and said, "What the Third Elder said makes sense. Nian''er can''t remember what happened, or even how he got out of the Qingluan Mountains. I think he really should take a good rest before anything else.¡±


    Ji Bugui pondered the meaning of Ji Hong''s words, and felt a chill in his heart.


    Ji Yuenian used to be the talent who ignited a Grade 6 Heart Fire sequence, and he was also the eldest son of Ji Hong, the head of the Ji family. Even if Ji Hong was his father, he would not treat Ji Yuenian with half such half-heartedness.


    However, after the return of "Ji Yuenian", whose Heart Fire had been extinguished, Ji Hong''s attitude was quite intriguing.


    The eldest son, Ji Yuenian, really did not misunderstand the Ji family''s patriarch who was in the initial stage of the True Dao Realm.


    Ji Hong set up a lantern festival in Anyang City for two purposes.


    First, there were many demons in the Qingluan Mountains, and no one could determine whether the ¡°Ji Yuenian¡± who returned was the real Ji Yuenian or a demon dressed in Ji Yuenian skin.


    Ji Hong was very ingenious, and he could tell whether Ji Yuenian was a demon by setting up a lantern festival.


    Because even if the monster could devour all of Ji Yuenian''s soul memory, it couldn''t spy on his true soul memory.


    ¡­


    However, all of Zhao Yinyue¡¯s memories were forfeited earlier when she was on the verge of death. They all had coalesced into spiritual light that were in turn absorbed into Ji Yuenian¡¯s True Spirit. The True Spirit was the root of every living soul. The soul which was attached to the True Spirit even if it was destroyed, and it dies, it could retain a little of the True Spirit and enter the nether realm to reincarnate.


    If there was no extremely special means, the True Spirit couldn''t be detected at all, and it could not be directly attacked.


    But, if the True Spirit was destroyed and shattered, then the creature would truly dissipate between the heavens and the earth, without the chance of reincarnation into the next life, and would completely turn into nothingness.


    What made Ji Bugui feel chills was that Ji Hong''s attitude became extremely ambiguous after seeing that "Ji Yuenian" had extinguished his Heart Fire and his cultivation was completely useless.


    He did not even bother to verify if this ¡°Ji Yuenian¡± was truly who he said he was or some demon.


    What mighty demon would disguise as a mortal whose cultivation base was completely ruined?


    This was the second proof.


    Some time ago, news came from the city gate on the west side that the Eldest Son Ji Yuenian crushed Zhao Sixing of the Zhao family, and Zhao Yanran took the initiative to bow her head and apologize, which was enough to prove that his cultivation was still present.


    What kind of place is the Qingluan Mountains? A collection of mysterious and terrifying Demons.


    Ji Hong didn''t dare to fully believe this news from a hundred miles away. After all, hearing could be false, but seeing could not be.


    He wanted to know whether Ji Yuenian, who returned from the Qingluan Mountains, was still the possessor of the Grade 6 Heart Fire sequence.


    This lantern festival had become a buffer and a stage. No matter whether Ji Yuenian''s Heart Fire was really extinguished or not, Ji Hong could change his attitude and way of treating him very naturally without appearing blunt.


    Moreover, the Ji family at this time already had a person with a Grade 6 Heart Fire sequence: Ji Quexue.

 Ch. 27 - Man Behind the Mask

    The main branch of the Ji family, Snowfall Pavilion.[ED: Snowfall Pavilion: Luoxue Pavilion]


    This pavilion, with its jade and pearly ornamentation and grandly carved pillars was the place allotted to Xu Lian¡¯er and her daughter, Ji Quexue, when she was born.


    "Quexue, do you know about the return of the eldest son?"


    Xu Lian''er looked worriedly at the girl on the couch who was fiddling with a true skill, her expression was a little formal.


    Ji Quexue looked down at the skill with her head lowered. The snow-white hands danced lightly, and a ray of mysterious light appeared, condensing into a small and delicate fire lotus at her fingertips.


    After a few breaths, the dissipated fire lotus in her hands, raised her head, and said, "No need to worry, the eldest son ... Ji Yuenian has lost his cultivation base and his Heart Fire has long extinguished, he can''t take the position given by He Xuan Shangzhen even if he has returned."


    After going through a lot of ups and downs in the past, Ji Quexue seemed to have changed as a person, her eyes were very firm, and the cowardice and weakness in them had already disappeared without a trace.


    Xu Lian''er sighed and said, "But he is the eldest son after all. Although his Heart Fire is extinguished, and the difficulty of re-ignition is unquestionable, but what if ¡­¡±


    ¡°There are no what ifs," Ji Quexue stood up. Her delicate and fair face appearing even more beautiful against the backdrop of her aqua blue dress. "Tomorrow, Ji Hong will go to Heyun Temple to take the position that is rightfully mine. Then, it will be completely impossible to raise qualms about the issue."


    "Quexue, how can you address your father in such a manner?" Xu Lian''er shook her head, her face turning a bit discontent.


    Ji Quexue was silent for a moment, then walked up to Xu Lian''er, looked down at the woman who was half a head shorter than her, and said word by word, "From that day on, I no longer recognize that cold-blooded and ruthlessness man as my father. In fact, if one day I succeed in cultivation, I will make him regret for what he has done!"


    "Quexue! How can you think like that!"


    Xu Lian''er stared blankly at Ji Quexue. She felt as if she did not know her daughter at all and some stranger had swapped places with her daughter.


    Ji Quexue leaned closer, her head full of silken blue hair resting on Xu Lian¡¯er¡¯s shoulders. She whispered in her ear, ¡°Mother, you were also the eldest daughter of the Xu family back then, if only you weren¡¯t so recreant and blindly obedient; devoid of any self-opinion, us mother and daughter pair would not have been so pitiful in this Ji family household for all these years. Compared to the cruel and ruthless Ji Hong, you stand accused of more crimes. You are the greater culprit. ¡±


    After that, she turned around and walked out of the pavilion with unhurried steps.


    Xu Lian''er stood alone in the empty pavilion for a while, then fell on the couch and buried her head deeply in her arms.


    Not long after, whimpering and low sobbing echoed in the silent pavilion.


    ¡­


    It was a cold night again.


    Ji Bugui flipped through an ancient book in the study, and couldn''t help but admire silently in his heart.


    He couldn''t even understand a single page of such an obscure and incomprehensible ancient book. But Young Master Ji marked the dozens of ancient books on the bookshelf on the west side with dozens of notes and scribbles. It was apparent that Ji Yuenian had already perused through these different kinds of ancient books more than once.


    "Those who live in Luzhou in the north are good at killing, but only because of their livelihood. They are clumsy and affectionate, and they don''t cultivate much."


    Reluctantly recognizing the words on it, Ji Bugui couldn''t help shaking his head after reciting this sentence in a low voice, and muttered to himself, "This ancient book of Lao Shizi actually show Luzhou in such a way, it is extremely absurd. Even the eldest son''s annotations are a little confusing to me."


    After he finished speaking, he put down the ancient book in his hand and turned to look at the large table made of sandalwood by the window.


    In the upper left corner of the table, there were many things like the pen, ink, paper, and ink stone. All densely covering the whole space. These were all tools Ji Yuenian would use quite frequently.


    Ji Bugui stepped forward, and just as he was about to flip through the scrolls placed on it, a low voice came from outside the study.


    "Eldest Son, the Patriarch invites you to the Zenhai Hall."


    [ED: Zenhai Hall: Hall of Tranquility]


    The Zenhai Hall was in the core building of the Ji family''s main branch. There was a main hall and six sub-halls. The Ji family''s ancestral hall was located in the Spirit Gathering Hall behind the Zenhai Hall.


    Ji Bugui paused and said, "Okay, I''ll go over here."


    The voice echoed again, "I beseech the Eldest Son to take his leave now."


    Ji Bugui was a little embarrassed, but felt more and more uncomfortable in place for Ji Yuenian.


    Although this person was respectful and observant on the surface, his tone was actually very aggressive. After the dignified Ji family''s eldest son''s Heart Fire extinguished, his treatment was cold like this.


    "I know."


    Ji Bugui thought of Ji Yuenian''s explanation, suppressed his unnecessary thoughts, pushed open the door, and walked out.


    The sash covering the windows of the pavilion was open, and the cold night winds swept into the hall, flipping the yellowed pages with the rustling sound all books made when flipped.


    The obscure ancient book Ji Bugui had just put down was gently closed, revealing the torn cover.


    Five twisted seal characters were listed vertically on it, slightly glowing with golden light.


    ¡­


    The main branch of the Ji family, Zenhai Hall.


    "Head in, Eldest Son."


    A black-armored guard looked blankly at "Ji Yuenian" in front of him, and spoke lightly.


    Ji Bugui glanced at the guard, he just stood there under the door to the hall, and slowly stepped into the brightly lit hall.


    As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Ji Hong sitting on the highest seat of honor, and he couldn''t help but feel nervous in his heart.


    "Nian''er, how is your recovery coming along?"


    Ji Hong stood up from his seat and walked slowly towards Ji Bugui.


    After all, Ji Bugui was only a mortal. As the head of the family, Ji Hong was quite majestic. At this moment, his body could not help but tremble slightly, and he felt an indescribable feeling of depression in his mind.


    "Nian''er?"


    The floor of the hall was divided into three layers, from high to low to the gate of the hall. Ji Hong stopped in front of Ji Bugui, standing on the secondary level, a giant shadow covering his face, making him unable to discern any expression on his face.


    Ji Bugui calmed down, forced a smile on his face, and said, "Patriarch ... Father, I''m better."


    Ji Hong frowned slightly, as if he noticed something, but he didn''t care. He reached out and patted Ji Bugui''s shoulder and said, "Nian''er, do you want revenge?"


    "Revenge?" Ji Bugui was a little puzzled.


    Ji Hong turned slightly, let the lights in the hall illuminate Ji Bugui''s bewildered face, and said solemnly, "Yes, when you were abolished and thrown into the Qingluan Mountains, you should have died without a trace. I don''t know why you were able to return intact, but your Heart Fire has extinguished and with it all the memories too are lost. This debt ... must be repaid with blood."


    "Father, what do you mean by these words?"


    The continuous stream of cold air diffused into his body from ghost armor, which made Ji Bugui sober up a lot.


    Ji Hong glanced at Ji Bugui and said softly, "Your memories of this life are all in your soul, if you want to take revenge, you can only try to take out some of the spells that are quite damaging to you. The memories before the Qingluan Mountains."


    Ji Bugui noticed the slight trembling of the Sentient Ghost-devouring Armour, and felt a lot more at ease. He raised his head and said, "According to you, Father, what should I do?"


    Ji Hong was silent for a moment, as if he was extremely reluctant, and sighed slightly.


    Ji Bugui sneed on the inside, but still maintained a respectful facade on his face, and said: ¡°Father, it¡¯s alright. I¡¯ve already lost my cultivation. If Nian¡¯er can avenge and save face for our Ji family, I¡¯ve willing to do anything!¡±


    Ji Hong hesitated for a few breaths before opening his mouth and said, "For now, the only way to do this is to cast a soul-searching spell and split a part of your soul, then maybe you can detect those memories."


    Without any hesitation, Ji Bugui responded, "Okay!"


    The Zenhai Hall was extremely quiet, except for the "father and son", there was not a single soul.


    Ji Hong was a little surprised at Ji Bugui''s decisiveness, thought for a moment, and then said, "There is one more thing, I don''t know if I should talk about it as a father."


    S?a?ch* Th? N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Ji Bugui sneered in his heart, but he didn''t stop at all, and respectfully said, "Father, it doesn''t matter."


    Ji Hong paused for a bit and said, ¡°Your Heart Fire has extinguished, you don¡¯t have a chance to ignite it anymore. But if I can take out the Grade 6 Heart Fire Sequence that is attached to your soul when it is split, I can refine it and use it for the betterment of the family ¡­¡±


    Silence.


    Ji Bugui didn''t know what to do, so he had to keep silent.


    Seeing that he seemed to be resisting the idea, Ji Hong hurriedly added, ¡°Nian¡¯er, you¡¯ll have to be willing for this to work. Else, I cannot obtain the Heart Fire seed. The Ji family is weakening in Taichu, our reach has dwindled. How about you help your father this once? ¡±


    The soul of every creature was attached to the Heart Fire, but 99% of the creatures were unable to ignite it. However, the fire seed that ignited the fire could be devoured by other creatures to enhance the rank of their own Heart Fire.


    It was just that most of the living beings died after their Heart Fires extinguished, so there are not many opportunities to use this extremely harsh method.


    Ji Hong¡¯s had a Grade 7 Heart Fire Sequence. If he could devour a Grade 6 Heart Fire from Ji Yuenian, he could very likely use this improve upon his own Heart Fire, and could even directly break through the Late Stage of the True Dao Realm with the aid of the momentum.


    All the flaws within ¡°Ji Yuenian¡± were masked by the Sentient Ghost-devouring Armor. To Ji Hong¡¯s senses there was indeed an extinguished Heart Fire within Ji Yuenian. Which was also his real motive in summoning Ji Yuenian at this hour.


    It could be said the seeds for the vicious plot had already germinated the moment he lay eyes upon Ji Yuenian, who had his Heart Fire extinguished.


    Ji Bugui was silent for a while, then said, "I will do it. When will Father cast the spell?¡±


    Ji Hong¡¯s eyes bounced in excitement. It was only at this rare instance did the master of the cultivation family of Ji lay down the thick mask hiding the true nature of his heart: The devilish side.


    "I''ll ask someone to prepare it now, and I''ll cast a spell at midnight! Don''t worry, Nian¡¯er. Once I take a look at your memory, I will definitely avenge you!¡±


    After this sentence fell, Ji Hong knew that something was wrong, he laughed dryly, and said, "Even if I split your soul, you won''t necessarily die. Don''t worry, I will do my best to save your life!"


    Obviously, in his eyes, "Ji Yuenian" who had lost all memories at this time could already be coaxed at will without any disguise, without worrying about any consequences.


    Ji Bugui nodded, then retreated directly into the dark corner of the main hall, sneering inwards.


    Save my life?


    Casting a spell to split the soul basically meant zero chances to survive.


    If the Heart Fire was split from the source of the soul, then the soul would be destroyed directly, and the true spirit would not be able to reincarnate, and there would be no possibility of survival.

 Ch. 28 - Who is the Cicada, Who is the Mantis?

    Ji Hong could not contain the excitement in his heart. He flicked his sleeves and walked out of the Hall of Tranquility.The late stage of the True Dao Realm was originally out of reach for him who had been trapped in the Initial stage for more than ten years, but now he could glimpse a sliver of hope.


    Ji Bugui deliberately retreated further back toward the corner of the main hall. In the dark place where the lights could not penetrate, the black satin black robe he was wearing turned illusory, exuding an incomparable aura.


    ¡­


    The Hall of Listening, only a few leagues away from the Seventh Hall of Tranquility. This was the place Elder Ji Luoyan resided.


    ¡°Grand Elder, it¡¯s undoubtedly him! This is coming from the Commander Xu Jianghe himself!¡± The black-armored guard knelt on the ground and looked up at the Grand Elder.


    ¡°Zi Shi, go summon Baiyu and two elders waiting in the side hall immediately.¡± Ji Luoyan thought for a moment, then opened his mouth and commanded.


    The black-armored guard respectfully responded, and then slowly retreated out of the hall.


    Ji Luoyan''s calm and deep eyes trembled slightly, a complacent smile emerged on the corners of his lips, and he muttered, "The mantis catches the cicada while the oriole stalks behind. Ji Hong, you would never have thought that Xu Jianghe had already been bought over by me. Under your command, I will accept this good medicine and raise the rank of my Heart Fire on your behalf!¡±


    ¡­


    At midnight, the sky was veiled by a dark shadow. The cold air whistled gently, invoking chills out of the mortals.


    In the Main Hall, Ji Hong sat cross-legged on the ground, with a long wooden sword suspended vertically by his side, which was shrouded in a hazy profound light.


    "Nian''er, you take initiative and let go of any resistance originating from the soul, so that I can feel it more clearly."


    Ji Hong''s voice reached Ji Bugui as he sat on the futon, kept silent, and closed his eyes slightly.


    Ji Hong''s eyes moved slightly, and the xuan energy of the initial stage of the True Dao Realm swept out, all of which rushed towards Ji Bugui''s acupoint.


    There was a black light permeating out from the Ghost armor, debunking all of Ji Hong''s investigations.


    "The soul is intact, the memory is dusty, and the extinguished Heart Fire is attached to the edge of the soul, and it is not difficult to harvest!"


    Ji Hong suddenly opened his eyes wide, and he couldn''t help showing a hint of excitement. Ji Yuenian''s soul¡¯s condition was exactly as he imagined it to be!


    ¡°You want to split my soul and take my Heart Fire, do you not even feel a modicum of regret in your heart?¡± Ji Bugui asked suddenly.


    Ji Hong never noticed the change in Ji Bugui''s address to him, he just stretched out his hand to support Ji Bugui''s shoulder and whispered, "Nian''er, you have lost all your memories now, and your cultivation base is ruined. As a father, I really want to be able to take revenge for you. When I take your Heart Fire, you must not resist."


    Ji Bugui sighed softly and closed his eyes.


    Facing the head of the Ji Family who was at the initial stage of the True Dao Realm, he could not have been more calm.


    Because at this time, he already knew very clearly that even the master of the family who he had regarded as someone untouchable previously, was only a common man who was dominated by greed.


    People are always unpredictable.


    Ji Hong made up his mind and looked at "Ji Yuenian" who had his eyes closed, without any hesitation in his heart. He stimulated a trace of the source of the soul, and rushed towards Ji Yuenian¡¯s acupoint.


    Ji Bugui''s tightly closed eyelids vibrated fiercely, sensing the approach of fatal danger.


    Although the Sentient Ghost-devouring Armor could cover up one or two things, it couldn''t really cover up the fact that he was a mortal person. Once Ji Hong''s soul power was immersed in his acupoint, Ji Bugui was very likely to die from the imposing power of the tyrannical soul.


    Boom!


    The heavyset gates of the Hall of Tranquility were smashed into several huge pieces!


    One of the fragments, about ten feet wide, hurried towards Ji Hong, creating a harsh humming sound in the air.


    Ji Hong''s complexion changed slightly, and he stood up abruptly from the futon. The xuan energy of the initial stage of the True Dao Realm surged out around him, and the debris that was rushing in front of him broke into countless tiny fragments.


    "It''s really admirable that the patriarch can be so ruthless, to be so cruel to the eldest son, Ji Yuenian."


    Ji Luoyan stepped into the hall with a light chuckle. Xu Jianghe, Ji Baiyu and others followed behind him. Two elders in the Xuan Realm, and dozens of Ji''s family guards strode in with a cold look, silent in their steps.


    Ji Hong and Ji Bugui sat at the center.


    Ji Hong''s face became gloomy, and he scolded coldly, "Xu Jianghe, do you want to betray the Ji family? And you guys, do you want to go against me?"


    Xu Jianghe stepped out and said solemnly, "The patriarch''s statement is absurd, the Grand Elder is also the blood of the Ji family, and now I obey the order of the Grand Elder, which is also considered to be obeying the order of the Ji family. How can you say that I betrayed the Ji family?"


    Ji Luoyan sensed Ji Bugui, who was still sitting on the futon, and said with a tut, "His Heart Fire went out, but he didn''t die, this is really too rare. The eldest son''s Heart Fire has indeed become a rare elixir."


    Ji Hong was silent for a moment, but his expression became somewhat inexplicable as he said, "Ji Luoyan, you and I are both in the same realm, even if you have these vulnerable little fish and shrimp, how can you contend against me?" s?a??h th? ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    "No," Ji Luoyan said with a smile, "This is your biggest failure as the head of the family. Although you can crush Xu Jianghe and others with a flip of your palm, you have overlooked one thing. It is the potential.¡±


    Ji Hong snorted coldly and said, "What nonsense, I have used xuan energy transmission to inform all the elders of the Ji Family Elders Association. If you commit the following crimes, you are disrespectful to the patriarch. This time I will expel you completely from the Ji family!"


    Ji Luoyan''s expression was a little weird as he laughed, "Then I''ll show you, what is potential!"


    Outside the Hall of Tranquility, the sound of horses roared like thunder.


    "Greetings, Great Elder!"


    A figure landed into the hall, with xuan energy rushing around in the late stage of the Nascent Profound Realm.


    Ji Luoyan nodded and said, "Fifth elder doesn¡¯t need to be too polite."


    Ji Hong''s expression darkened slightly.


    Boom!


    A light arrow of xuan energy twisted and appeared, and it rushed towards Ji Hong from the gate of the hall.


    Ji Hong''s expression became more gloomy, he waved the arrow of light away, and said coldly, "Third Elder, how dare you commit such a crime!"


    The third elder appeared, strode into the hall, glanced at Ji Hong with great contempt. He said nothing, and stood directly behind Ji Luoyan.


    There were a total of six elders in the Ji Family Elders Association. Except for Ji Luoyan, the first elder from the second house, who was in the True Dao Realm, the rest of the elders were all from the third and fourth houses (or branch).


    The elders from all the four branches of the main branch gathered here, and none of them had any good intentions.


    Counting the two elders who had followed behind Ji Luoyan before, there were already four elders behind Ji Luoyan at this time, and Ji Hong was alone here.


    The chaos in Anyang was gradually rising, and almost all the guards of the Ji family were swarming towards the Hall of Tranquility.


    Ji Luoyan laughed and said, "Ji Hong, the head of the Ji family, is cruel, and he treats his relatives without mercy. My Anyang Ji family has suffered for a long time. Today, on behalf of the thousands of descendants of the Anyang Ji family, I will expel him from the position of the head of the family, then recount his crimes, and punish him one by one!"

 Ch. 29 - The Terrifying Sword light

    Ji Hong was expressionless. He turned his palms and grabbed the wooden sword suspended beside him. ¡°The Royal Spirit Ebony Sword is here, Ji Luoyan, are you not afraid?¡±The Ebony sword was the ancestral sword of the Ji family. It was a spiritual magic treasure passed down in the hands of the heads of the Ji family, and possessed unparalleled power.


    "The spiritual magic treasure is indeed tyrannical. Although you and I have similar cultivation bases, but you hold the Ebony Sword, I will not be your opponent," Ji Luoyan didn''t seem panicked, but there was a little more playfulness in his eyes. "It''s just that Patriarch, do you know the origin of this Royal Spirit Ebony Sword?"


    Ji Hong held the Royal Spirit Ebony Sword backhand style, and said nothing. A dazzling white sword light lingered on the sword body and at the tip of the sword, a sharp and contrasting light shone that was enough to sever everything.


    Ji Luoyan sighed softly and said, ¡°This precious spiritual magic treasure is more than 2,000 years ago, one of the ancestors of my Ji family exhausted nearly half of the Ji family''s reserves, invited an elder of the Ancient Sect of Tai Yu to refine it, in which the bloodline of the Ji family was integrated as the treasure of the Ji family clan."


    "What do you want to say?" Ji Hong gently lifted the Ebony Sword, the sword light on it became more and more dazzling, and the elders behind Ji Luoyan all paled.


    This sword was not a normal sword but a genuine spiritual magic treasure.


    If Ji Hong suddenly swept in with a sword, with their mere cultivation in the Nascent Profound Realm, not even the slightest bit of ashes would be left of them.


    Ji Luoyan slowly looked around for a second. At this time, almost all the elite guards of the Ji family were densely gathered outside the Hall of Tranquility, and the four relatives of the Ji family and many bloodline descendants of the Ji family rushed one after another, and the entire Anyang City was there, quietly watching the main hall of Hall of Tranquility at that time.


    Flicking his sleeves, Ji Luoyan''s body was filled with the blazing xuan energy of the True Dao Realm. He took a step outside the hall and said loudly, "Since Ji Hongxian took charge of the Ji family, he has acted violently, cold-blooded and cruel, regardless of any kinship, the Ji family has suffered from it for a long time. Today, Ji Hong wants to cut off the soul of his direct son, Ji Yuenian, and devour his Heart Fire, which is extremely vicious!"


    Outside the Hall of Tranquility, an uproar gradually rose.


    Countless eyes were looking at Ji Hong, who was holding the Ebony Sword, and "Ji Yuenian" who was sitting on the futon with a pale face.


    After all, Ji Hong had been in charge of the Ji family for a long time, and he was quite powerful.


    Although many members of the Ji family in Anyang City had been talking in a low voice, no one dared to take the lead in responding to Ji Luoyan''s words.


    Ji Luoyan took another step towards the outside of the hall, the momentum of the initial stage of the True Dao Realm swept through all directions. His robes fluttered as he said loudly, "The bloodline of the Ji family in Anyang must not be broken in the hands of Ji Hong! I want to gather the Ji family''s blood. The power of blood, and retrieve the Ji family''s ancestral spiritual magic weapon, the Ebony Sword, abolish Ji Hong''s position as the head of the family, and condemn him as a criminal!"


    After a few breaths, a woman finally came out of the crowd, staring at Ji Hong bitterly, and sobbing. "My husband is the guard in charge of guarding outside the Hall of Tranquility, but he was suddenly killed dozens of days ago. I exhausted my energy and inquired about it, only to find out that the head of the family was in a bad mood that day, and slapped my innocent husband to death when he was passing by!"


    A young man in traditional clothes stepped forward and said loudly, "There are many spiritual fields in the outer city of Taichu city, and after 80% of the spiritual tax is collected from us, the head of the family wanted us to pay another tax. Ji Hong, the Anyang Ji family is not your slave! You eat meat, but you don''t even give us the leftover soup!"


    There were many voices one after another, but in a short while, filling the entire vicinity in a short time. Outside the Hall of Tranquility, Ji Hong was already pointed out by many.


    "Revolt, you all dare to revolt! Presumptuous!"


    Ji Hong''s eyes were red, and with a low roar, he held the Ebony Sword and slashed fiercely at the place where Ji Luoyan and the others stood.


    The blazing white sword glow that was several meters long swept out!


    Ji Luoyan''s complexion changed slightly. Under the explosion of xuan energy, he quickly rushed to the side and narrowly avoided this sword light.


    The Third and Fifth Elder also noticed it long ago and fled far away. s?a??h th? N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Only the two Eders of the Xuan Realm who followed Ji Luoyan into the hall before had no time to react, and were directly chopped into countless pieces by the sword light.


    The power of the spiritual magic weapon was actually here!


    The people of the Ji family outside the Hall of Tranquility were even more fearful and angry, and an invisible force gradually gathered in one place, shrouding the Hall of Tranquility.


    Ji Hong''s eyes were bloodshot, and he roared, "I will kill anyone who dares to oppose me!"


    Having said that, he raised his right hand holding the Royal Spirit Ebony Sword again, and was about to slash towards the other two Elders.


    Suddenly, his movements seemed to slow down several times. This spiritual magic weapon with a blazing white sword light trembled slightly, as if it was about to break free in the next moment.


    Ji Luoyan shook his head and said, "Ji Hong, do you know now, what is power!? This Ebony Sword was obtained by the ancestors of the Ji family, and it was integrated into the blood of my Ji family. All the blood of the Ji family in Anyang City is against you, how can the spiritual magic weapon of my Ji family be used by a demon!"


    For the first time, Ji Hong''s expression changed conspicuously. He ignored Ji Luoyan and just exhausted all his strength to control the ebony sword that vibrated more and more violently in his hand.


    Ji Luoyan didn''t give him such a chance, and shouted directly, "The blood of Anyang Ji family has decided to abolish the position of Ji Hong as the family head and punish him!"


    Thousands of Ji family bloodline descendants in Anyang City responded loudly, and the sound waves soared up and swept the sky.


    "The blood of the Ji family in Anyang has decided to abolish the position of Ji Hong as the family head and punish him!!!"


    Boom!


    Above the Ebony Sword of the imperial edict, there was an extremely dazzling white sword that rose into the sky!


    Ji Hong''s two fingers were directly cut off, and he could no longer hold the spiritual magic treasure and let it fly away.


    Ji Luoyan''s body was full of xuan energy, and he flew up. He grabbed the Ebony Sword without pausing for a moment, and slashed directly at Ji Hong!


    The blazing white sword light spread nearly ten feet, and Ji Hong needed to avoid it! Ji Hong''s eyes flashed ruthlessly, and he grabbed Ji Yuenian beside him, directly pouring xuan energy into his soul, and wanted to use the power of Ji Yuenian to prevent him from destroying his soul.


    What made him angry was that there was nothing in the soul of Ji Yuenian. When he came back to his senses and looked down, the Ji Yuenian he was holding in his hand had become a handful of fine gravel that scattered between his fingers.


    The violent sword light had arrived!


    Ji Hong''s eyes were about to split, and he used all his strength to hold up an incomparably solid shield of xuan energy.


    Boom!


    The sword energy of the spiritual magic treasure directly ripped the shield of xuan energy into pieces, and slashed at Ji Hong without losing momentum!


    After all, his cultivation was in the initial stage of the True Dao Realm. He vomited blood and flew out under the violent sword light. Although he suffered serious injuries, he was not in danger of life for a while.


    "Quexue, save your father! Mother begs you!"


    On the side hall beside Hall of Tranquility, Xu Lian''er directly kowtowed to Ji Quexue.


    Ji Quexue''s cold face showed a hint of pain and struggle as she said, "Mother, how do you want me to save him! If I dare to step forward to stop him, I will only end up dying!"


    Xu Lian''er burst into tears, pulling on the hem of Ji Quexue''s blue skirt, weeping, "You have a Grade 6 Heart Fire Sequence, after dawn is when your position is determined. Ji Luoyan can no longer intervene now. He won''t kill you in this matter! Go and beg him, spare your father''s life. Mother begs you!"


    Having said that, she gave Ji Quexue a strong kowtow again.


    Ji Quexue was silent for a few breaths, her face gradually calmed down, and she said, "Okay, I''ll go. But from now on, you are no longer my mother."


    Xu Lian''er squirmed her lips, but she couldn''t form a complete sentence. She just stared at Ji Quexue with hopeful eyes.


    Ji Quexue felt pain in her heart. She couldn¡¯t her mother to that beat, Ji Hong!


    She helped Xu Lian''er up, and then directly used the xuan energy of the first stage of the Xuan Realm, and went towards the main Hall of Tranquility, which was several dozen meters away.

 Ch. 30 - Soul Capture, Binding

    "Today, I will represent the blood of the Anyang Ji family and will kill you! "Ji Luoyan carried the Ebony Sword, his arrogance encompassing the sky, and his eyes showed a strong killing intent.


    "Elder, slow down! "


    Ji Quexue, dressed in blue clothes, and hair tied with a band of blue silk on her head, landed directly in front of Ji Hong who was seriously injured.


    Ji Hong firmly received the attack of the spiritual magic weapon, and even had cracks in his Xuan Sea. He was sitting cross-legged on the ground to adjust his breath. At that time, seeing Ji Quexue in front of him, he seemed to be shocked for a while, and looked at the girl''s back with a complicated expression.


    Ji Luoyan frowned, his wrist moved slightly, and a blazing white sword light swept out across Ji Quexue''s ear, cutting off a strand of jet-black hair.


    "Ji Quexue, leave here immediately, or I will kill you. "


    Ji Quexue raised her head and said, "Elder, can you listen to me? "


    Ji Luoyan shook his head and said ruthlessly, "Go away! If it wasn''t for the fact that you ignited the Grade 6 Heart Fire sequence and will take up the chance Hexuan Shangzhen gave, I would have taken your life now! "


    Ji Quexue turned her head slightly, glanced at Ji Hong, who was in a state of embarrassment, then turned around and said word by word, "If you want to kill Ji Hong, kill me first, it can be regarded as me repaying his debt for bringing me to this world."


    "Quexue."


    Ji Hong whispered from behind.


    Ji Quexue didn''t look back. She said coldly, "Don''t think too much, it''s because my mother kowtowed and begged me to come save you that I¡¯m here."


    "Quexue," Ji Hong said with blood seeping out from the corners of his mouth, but he still showed a rare smile, "I''m sorry for being your father. "


    The Ebony Sword was a spiritual magic weapon. It could hurt not only the body of a living being, but also the soul.


    At that moment, Ji Hong was in a state of being wounded. If he didn''t have enough time to rest, even the Xuan Sea in his acupoint would most likely collapse completely.


    Ji Quexue was silent, and just stared at Ji Luoyan who was holding the Ebony Sword.


    Ji Luoyan was a little hesitant. The fact that Ji Quexue ignited a Grade 6 Heart Fire Sequence had already spread throughout the ancient city of Taichu, and the news had already reached the Heyun Temple where Hexuan Shangzhen was located. If he killed Ji Quexue in front of such a big crowd, and let Ji Baiyu blatantly take her place, he was afraid that there was a very high chance that he would receive equal retribution.


    After all, in name, the Ji family, the Zhao family, the Chu family, and other cultivation families were all under the jurisdiction of Heyun Temple.


    It was just that Daoist Hexuan didn''t visit Heyun Temple once in ten years, and he rarely interfered in the affairs of these cultivating families. But, there was a contingency in everything. If Daoist Hexuan really pursued Ji Quexue''s matter, Ji Luoyan would definitely be left without any option, and it would be too late to regret by then.


    While hesitating, Ji Luoyan suddenly sensed an aura in the corner of Hall of Tranquility.


    The eldest son, Ji Yuenian! I forgot about him!


    Ji Luoyan flew past Ji Quexue and Ji Hong, landed directly in Hall of Tranquility, and looked into the corner.


    The eldest son, Ji Yuenian, was sitting in a corner blankly, his eyes where as blank as if he was soulless.


    "Eldest son, what''s wrong with you?" Ji Luoyan stepped forward quickly and sensed the Heart Fire of Ji Yuenian, and couldn''t help but feel a burst of joy in his heart.


    Ji Bugui raised his numb face and said nothing.


    Ji Luoyan took a step closer, looked down at Ji Bugui, and stared into his absent-minded eyes.


    After feeling his aura, he was completely sure that the eldest son had completely lost his mind and memories for some reason. Within his divine sense, the Heart Fire attached to the soul became more and more clear.


    For the time being, suppressing the greed in his heart, Ji Luoyan lifted Ji Bugui''s collar, strode out of the hall, and said loudly, "Eldest son Ji Yuenian''s Heart Fire has been extinguished, he has lost his memory, and there is no one to continue the patriarch¡¯s line. A son of the direct line. According to the decision of the Elder''s council, from now on, I will be the head of the Ji family, and the second house of the Ji family will be the main line of the family! "


    Thousands of Ji family bloodline descendants responded with a bang after a moment of silence.


    "I''ve seen the patriarch!" Xu Jianghe was the best at observing words and expressions, and at that moment he was the first to kneel on the ground and salute respectfully.


    "I have seen the patriarch! ! !"


    [ED: Here, ¡°seen¡± refers to a form of acknowledgement of his current position.]


    The deafening sound waves spread throughout the entire city of Anyang.


    "And you are worthy of being the head of the Ji family? "


    The cold voice was very clearly transmitted to everyone''s ears, making the Hall of Tranquility gradually quiet and the silence slowly spread to the rest of the crowd.


    Ji Luoyan frowned and looked around, but he couldn''t find anyone who spoke up, so he couldn''t help saying loudly, "Who! Who is talking such nonsense! It''s not up to others to talk about the Anyang Ji family''s affairs! "


    "Really? What if I am also from the Ji family? "


    On the top of the eaves of Hall of Tranquility, a young man in a snow-white Daoist robe stood upright. His long jet-black hair was tied with a white jade belt, which was extremely beautiful.


    "Who is that?"


    "Someone from the Ji family? Why have I never met him before?"


    "This young man is so good-looking, he seems a little familiar! "


    Countless people from the Ji family all looked up at the top of the eaves of the Hall, which were more than ten feet high, and everyone erupted into discussions.


    Ji Luoyan was stunned for a while, and said, "Who are you!?"


    Ji Yuenian looked down at Ji Luoyan at his feet, and said softly, "Ji Yuenian."


    "Impossible! Ji Yuenian is in my hands!¡± Ji Luoyan subconsciously lowered his head and looked at his hands, the eldest son still looked a little sluggish.


    "He said he was the eldest son!?"


    "Who is in the hands of the First Elder?"


    "From this perspective, this person is really a bit similar to the eldest son!" S?a??h the N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    "This boy is taller and better-looking than the eldest son."


    The members of the Ji family looked up at the young man above the eaves, with doubts in their eyes.


    Ji Yuenian shook his head slightly, his pale and slender fingers formed an incomparably complicated seal, and there were black lights circling around him.


    Ji Luoyan felt a tinge in his heart, and said anxiously, "Who are you!? What are your intentions on coming here?"


    "I''ve already said it, I''m Ji Yuenian," Ji Yuenian smiled. "I¡¯ve come here, of course, to kill your soul and shatter your True Spirit."


    "A mere ant of Xuan Realm dares to be presumptuous!" Ji Luoyan was furious, and he was about to attack with the Ebony Sword.


    What made him extremely terrified was that the other Ji Yuenian¡¯s left hand suddenly burst out with strange black awns, directly inserting into his body!


    "Bind."


    As Ji Yuenian''s voice fell, Ji Luoyan''s wrist holding the sword went numb for a moment, and it fell from his palm.


    Ji Luoyan turned pale in shock, and was about to retrieve this Spiritual Magic weapon, but the black light in his arm burst out!


    Ji Yuenian directly detonated the half-piece of the ghost armor with the origin energy of mountain ghost and the existence of Soul Ashes.


    Ji Luoyan was blocked once again, and the black light left by the remnants of the explosion of the ghost armor rolled up the Ebony Sword, and he hurriedly ran through the top of the eaves to catch it.


    A fresh breeze rose.


    The young man held the Ebony Sword with a blazing white sword light between his palms, his long dark hair fluttered as he looked down at Ji Luoyan under the temple gate. He said with a chuckle, "You are in the initial stage of the True Dao Realm. You do not do justice to your reputation, and you are very weak."

 Ch. 31 - Dispersion

    A great many people of the Ji family were stunned. Ji Luoyan, the Grand Elder, was actually stripped of the Ebony Sword in front of them.What was even more shocking was that the sword light of the Ebony Sword was still surging and flickering, without the slightest intention of rejecting him, which just proved that this person was indeed the blood of the Anyang Ji family!


    Ji Luoyan looked surprised, turned up towards the young man above the eaves and said, "You said that you are the eldest son of Ji Yuenian, then who is this person in my hands? Also, why are you in the initial stage of the Xuan Realm?"


    Ji Yuenian had a strong xuan energy surging around his body, and it was obvious that he had condensed his xuan energy and gathered it into Qi, and had created a self-perpetuating, circuitous, Xuan Sea.


    Suddenly, a Ji family guard pointed at the person in Ji Luoyan''s hands and shouted in horror, "Look!"


    Countless eyes were all looking towards "Ji Yuenian".


    Losing the cover of the Sentient Ghost-devouring Armor, Ji Bugui''s original appearance gradually appeared.


    "It''s the fourth house¡¯s Ji Bugui!"


    "Then the young man in the Daoist robe above the eaves is really the eldest son!"


    "I said that the person looked a little familiar, but it turned out to it really is him!¡±


    Everyone in the Ji family was talking, and looked at Ji Yuenian on the top of the eaves of Hall of Tranquility.


    Ji Luoyan''s face was dark, and he threw Ji Bugui a distance of more than ten feet away, looked up and said, "Ji Yuenian, isn''t your Heart Fire already extinguished?! You have abolished your cultivation base. How can you escape from the Qingluan Mountains without your cultivation?"


    Ji Yuenian said in a cold voice, "I just said that you are really useless even though you are at the initial stage of the True Dao Realm. Even if you wanted to plot to harm me, you did not dare to do it yourself, but you used a ghost of the late stage of True Dao Realm to ambush and kill me. What''s more, I was only half a step True Dao Realm."


    As soon as these words came out, the Ji family members were in an uproar! S?a??h th? ??v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    "It turns out that the eldest son was really harmed by the Grand Elder!"


    "The rumors were true!"


    "Elder, in order to let Ji Baiyu take the place of the Eldest Son, you did not hesitate to become cruel, but you didn''t expect Ji Quexue to ignite her Heart Fire that to a Grade 6 Sequence under that desperate situation!"


    "It turns out that''s the truth!"


    The Third Elder who was standing on one side rolled his eyes, adjusted his facial expression, turned his head and pointed at Ji Luoyan, saying angrily, "Elder, why did you try to murder the eldest son, Ji Yuenian!"


    He was extremely cunning, although Ji Luoyan had the cultivation base of the initial stage of the True Dao Realm, but Ji Yuenian was in the realm of the half-step True Dao Realm long ago, and his talents were above everyone else.


    Now he had become even more mysterious, as if he were a different person, and he was holding a Spiritual Magic Weapon, the Ebony Sword, so Ji Luoyan was probably not his opponent.


    In the early stage of spiritual cultivation, although the gap between the Xuan Realm and the True Dao Realm was not completely impossible to cross. But, after the cultivation reached the True Dao Realm or above, the terrifying gap between the realms would gradually increase.


    Another Fifth Elder who survived under Ji Hong¡¯s attack also stood up and smiled at Ji Yuenian. "The eldest son has rekindled his Heart Fire now, and the restoration of his cultivation base is a great deed of my Ji family! But now the First Elder has already succeeded as the head of the Ji family, can the Eldest Son and the master of the family stop the war? And the and return the Ebony Sword to its rightful owner, the head of the family? Let us put an end to this infighting, can we?"


    Ji Yuenian smiled coldly. He looked down at the Fifth Elder, said nothing, and slashed a sword straight away!


    Boom!


    The blazing sword beam swept down from the height of more than ten feet, followed by splitting and howling sound, and in a moment it reached in the front of the Fifth Elder!


    The Fifth Elder''s complexion changed drastically. Obviously, he never thought that Ji Yuenian would directly attack at him. In a hurry, he was barely able to condense a translucent light shield of xuan energy in front of him.


    Without the slightest bit of resistance, the shield collapsed at the touch of a violent sword light. The Fifth Elder who was at the initial stage of the Xuan Realm had no time to react, and was completely pierced and smashed by the sword light, and his soul disappeared.


    The rest of the Ji family looked at each other in dismay, and their eyes gradually filled with fear.


    There was no reason for the tyranny of the Spiritual Magic Weapon, and there was never any so-called fairness between this world.


    Ji Luoyan took out an ordinary magic weapon long sword from his hand, poured xuan energy into it, and gritted his teeth, saying fiercely, "Ji Yuenian, do you really wish to fallout with me?"


    Although his long sword was only the most common magic weapon, his cultivation was the real deal.


    ¡°What are you talking about when we are past all that? Are you even worthy of fighting me with your puny strength?¡±


    Ji Yuenian casually inserted the Ebony Sword in his hand on the corner of the eaves of the main hall, and between his hands, the profound light surging around him gradually encompassed in a golden glow.


    Ji Luoyan felt a tinge of unpleasantness in his mind. He didn''t dare to hesitate any longer. He jumped up with a magic weapon ¡­


    The fierce sword Qi came upon him, and Ji Yuenian also completed the seal in his hand, making the golden light around his body became more and more dazzling. Seeing Ji Luoyan with a ferocious complexion getting closer and closer, he murmured in a low voice, "Great Compassion Mantra."


    A slender finger swiped, and a translucent golden light shield condensed out, and the harsh sound of two clashing energies resounded on the top of the Hall of Tranquility. The light shield completely blocked Ji Luoyan''s sword!


    The golden light shield collapsed, and countless golden light spots completely wrapped Ji Luoyan in it, and quickly submerging in his body.


    "What kind of weird spell is this!?"


    Ji Luoyan''s face was hideous, and he stood firm on the top of the eaves, and tried his best to stimulate his xuan energy to sense the dense golden light spots in his body.


    "This is the Great Compassion Mantra," Ji Yuenian stood still, looking at Ji Luoyan a few feet away, with a hollow palm, "Disperse."


    "Ah!!!" The piercing pain came from inside his head, Ji Luoyan dropped the magic weapon long sword in his hand, and held his head in agony. His face was twisted under the horrendous pain.


    The most terrifying thing was that scattered golden light spots escaped from time to time on his head, gradually turning the part above the shoulders of the Grand Elder into a brilliant golden color.


    After counting the breaths, under the complex gazes of thousands of Ji family members who were either frightened, fearful, or shocked, Ji Luoyan''s head completely burst open, and countless golden light spots escaped, which appeared extremely magnificent.


    The body that lost its head fell down weakly, sliding down the eaves of Hall of Tranquility, and fell heavily under the entrance of the hall.


    Countless people from the Ji family who were close to each other quickly dispersed like a plague god, looking at Ji Luoyan''s gradually cold body from a distance.


    If he had used the xuan energy spell to fight, Ji Luoyan wouldn''t have lost so badly.


    It was just that Ji Yuenian''s Great Compassion Mantra was so wonderful that this powerhouse at the initial stage of True Dao Realm had absolutely no ability to protect against him.


    Xu Jianghe acted very fast at this time, knelt directly on the ground, and shouted loudly, "The Eldest Son is unparalleled. And at this time, he has crushed Ji Luoyan, the black sheep, for the Ji family, and is in charge of the Ji family. Ji Family Guard Commander, Xu Jianghe has met the Patriarch!"


    The rest of the Ji family came back to their senses one after another. Whether it was the main bloodline or the many collateral bloodlines, they all bowed their heads respectfully and saluted, "I have seen the Patriarch!¡±


    Only Ji Quexue and Xu Lian''er were standing beside Ji Hong to take care of him, and they never saluted Ji Yuenian on the top of the eaves.


    Seeing Xu Jianghe stealing his limelight, the Third Elder secretly hated him, but at the corner of his eyes he caught a glimpse of Ji Quexue and the others. He thought of a plan as he said angrily, "Ji Quexue, Xu Lian''er, you two. Why don''t people greet the master of the family? With such disrespect and reckless behavior, what are the rules of my Ji family for you? A fart!?"


    After those words were finished, he immediately flew up, activated xuan energy, and slapped Ji Quexue with his palm!


    According to what he thought, Ji Yuenian''s return this time must be to obtain the position of the Tai Yu Ancient Sect Sect.


    And Ji Quexue was a talent with the Grade 6 Heart Fire Sequence. If he took the initiative to cut off this girl for Ji Yuenian, he might be able to atone for his sins and save his life.


    Just now, Ji Yuenian slashed the Fifth Elder with one sword from a distance, which terrified him. He was also one of the Elders who supported Ji Luoyan earlier. At that time, he was trying his best to find a chance for himself.

 Ch. 32 - Imprisonment

    Ji Quexue had only ignited her Heart Fire a few days ago, and she had almost no experience fighting against anyone. Now, seeing the Third Elder attacking her with absolute power, she couldn¡¯t help but panic; her turned incoherent and chaotic. She was at a loss to her next move.Boom!


    A weak and frail figure stood in front of Ji Quexue, and directly confronted the palm strike of the Third Elder, which contained Profound energy. The figure flew away like a broken doll.


    "Mother!" Ji Quexue came back to her senses, she looked back at the petite figure that flew out, and her mind was in a state of utter confusion.


    The Third Elder sneered and wanted to attack Ji Quexue again, but suddenly the imposing power aura of the initial stage of True Dao Realm flew out, suppressing the Third Elder.


    Surprisingly, Ji Hong, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground adjusting his breath, stood up and looked at the Third Elder with killing intent in his eyes!


    Under the imposing power of the True Dao Realm powerhouse, the Third Elder¡¯s scalp became numb, his complexion changed greatly, and he quickly retreated backwards.


    Ji Hong''s body was surrounded by a profound aura, and he covered several meters in one step. He said coldly, "Ji Luoyang, you are courting death!"


    On the other side, Ji Quexue walked towards Xu Lian''er''s body which was gradually losing temperature. Looking down at the woman whose life force was rapidly exhausting away, she yelled desperately, "Mother, wake up, Mother, I shouldn''t have said those words to spite you! Mother! Mother, look at me!"


    She shook Xu Lian''er''s broken body frantically, and tears rolled down her eyes like beads with a broken thread. Many people from the Ji family saw this tearful scene, and their eyes were more or less overwhelmed with myriad of emotions.


    The Third Elder, Ji Luoyang, felt uncomfortable looking at the scene. Under Ji Hong''s violent attack, he dodged left and right, appearing like he was suffering a lot.


    If it wasn''t for Ji Hong who was seriously injured by Ji Luoyan''s sword attack during his previous confrontation, Ji Luoyang would have already died under his hands a long time ago.


    After weighing the pros and cons, Ji Luoyang had no choice but to retreat.


    Ji Hong''s eyes were blood-red with anger, he stared at Ji Luoyang, and growled, "I only realized it a few breaths ago that Lian''er and Quexue are the most important people to me. They stood up for me in such a difficult time! And you ... I''m going to tear you to pieces!"


    After the words fell, Ji Hong gathered all his Profound energy in his right palm, and slashed at the Third Elder, Ji Luoyang!


    Boom!


    Although Ji Luoyang was extremely frightened, he still stood there without budging.


    The blazing white sword light rose up and slashed its way through dozens of feet, directly blasting Ji Hong away, midair.


    Ji Hong spewed out a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground, crouching, barely raising his head to look at the handsome young man in the snow-white robe, and roared resentfully, "Ji Yuenian!!!"


    Ji Yuenian carried the wooden sword behind him, he did not look at Ji Hong, but commanded Ji Luoyang, "Ji Hong wanted to split my soul and take my Heart Fire. Although the sin he bears is unbearably heavy, but after all he''s my father, drag him into the Hall of Imprisonment for the time being and imprison him."


    Outside the Hall of Tranquility, thousands of people stood silent.


    "This ... Ji Luoyang obeys your orders, master!"


    Ji Luoyang was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he realized that he had escaped death. Overjoyed in his heart, he quickly thumped and knelt on the ground, looking extremely humble.


    At this point, the only remaining of the six Elders of the Ji Family Elders'' Association was the Third Elder, Ji Luoyang, who was in the initial stage of the Profound Realm.


    "Ji Yuenian, you have to die! You pretended to have forgotten everything, and acted like a cripple who could not cultivate. What''s wrong with me taking your Heart Fire to enhance the Ji family''s heritage!" Ji Hong seemed like he wanted to pierce Ji Yuenian with a thousand swords. "You disregard human relations, how dare you treat me like this!"


    Ji Luoyang secretly glanced at Ji Yuenian''s expression, thought for a moment, and walked forward quickly with several Ji family guards, dragging Ji Hong down.


    "Ji Yuenian, you killed my mother!"


    The voice of resentment drifted over, and Ji Quexue''s pale face was full of tears as she desperately rushed over with a long sword.


    Ji Yuenian frowned slightly, flicking the sleeves of his snow-white Daoist robe, and several streaks of the azure, Profound energy swept out, directly blasting the girl''s thin body into the depths of Hall of Tranquility.


    "Drag this girl and imprison her."


    "Yes, Lord Patriarch!"


    Xu Jianghe hurried forward and walked towards the depths of the Hall of Tranquility with a dozen guards.


    Ji Yuenian looked at the densely packed Ji family in Anyang City and said, "Ji Luoyan planned to harm me, and Ji Hong wanted to take my Heart Fire, and kill me. Both of have committed heinous crimes. Does anybody have disputes?¡± S?a??h the ??v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    "We are convinced."


    No matter what they thought in their hearts, the thousands of Ji family members at this time all agreed in unison, and no one dared to express the slightest objection.


    Only Ji Baiyu of the second house, Ji Liuguang of the third house, and the others appeared pale, praying in their hearts that Ji Yuenian would not pay attention to them.


    Ji Bugui was attacked by Ji Hong earlier, but now that he had barely recovered some vitality, he staggered forward. He said respectfully, ¡°Lord Patriarch, how should we deal with the descendants from the second house? How should we deal with Ji Luoyan¡¯s descendants?¡±


    As soon as these words came out, Ji Liuguang breathed a sigh of relief, but Ji Baiyu and the rest of the second house''s faces changed drastically, looking at Ji Bugui with resentment, and they wished nothing more than to rush out and sew his mouth.


    Ji Yuenian glanced at the people in the second house at will, and waved his hand lightly, "I will go to Heyun Temple at the dawn, and you can do whatever you want with the Ji family."


    Sixteen years ago, Zhao Yinyue died reaching the end of her life. Ji Yuenian was extremely lonely since he was born. Although Ji Hong took him seriously on the surface, Ji Yuenian was clearly aware of Ji Hong''s cruel and ruthless nature.


    Even if the resources of the Ji family he was allotted were clearly skewed. It was only because of his for the Grade 6 Heart Fire sequence.


    Moreover, the most important thing was that Ji Yuenian''s heart still held a hint of suspicion. The fact that Zhao Yinyue died at the age of only 16 might have some kind of unknown connection with Ji Hong, but he had not found a clue yet.


    Ji Bugui was at a loss, and shook his head again and again, "Lord Patriarch, what virtues and abilities do I have, and how dare I be so arrogant?"


    Ji Yue smiled slightly, turned his head and said to the people of the Ji family in Anyang, "From now on, Ji Bugui is the head of the Ji family in Anyang, and the Third Elder, Ji Luoyang, will be the Grand Elder of the Ji family. Do you have any objections?"


    The Ji family couldn''t survive without an Elder at True Dao Realm. Several Elders had died. The only one left in the Ji family with Heart Fire was Ji Luoyang, which was also the reason Ji Yuenian spared his life.


    "This ... Ji Bugui is the son of the concubine of the fourth house, how can he take charge of the Ji family at such a juncture?"


    "My lord, are certain of the decision?"


    "I also ask the head of the family to rethink your decision!"


    Sensing that Ji Yuenian was about to leave, several senior members of the Ji family with great experience all rolled their eyes and had a few complex train of thoughts go through their minds.

 Ch. 33 - The Divine Sea Realm

    Ji Yuenian glanced at the few Elders from collateral lines, and before he even spoke, they all lowered their heads slightly."This issue has been resolved, there is no need to discuss it further." S?a?ch* Th? N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Ji Bugui was so excited that even his voice trembled a little, "Master ¡­ Patriarch, this ¡­ this ..."


    After Ji Luoyang, Xu Jianghe and others dragged Ji Hong and Ji Quexue down, they returned through the gates of the Hall of Tranquility with many Ji family guards.


    Ji Yuenian walked towards the ancestral hall of the Ji family in the apse of the Hall of Tranquility, and his voice echoed from afar, "Ji Luoyang, Xu Jianghe, from now on, you two will do your best to protect Ji Bugui and take charge of the Ji family."


    Several people were stunned in place.


    After counting their breaths, all the eyes in the Ji family focused on Ji Bugui.


    Ji Bugui was a little nervous. He never imagined that he would shift positions directly from an unappreciated fourth line¡¯s concubine''s son to the head of a cultivation family!


    Several cultivating families jointly controlled the ancient city of Taichu. Eighty percent of the spiritual tax paid by the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in the ancient city of Taichu was all divided up by the cultivating family. The resources that could be controlled by the cultivating family could be imagined from this.


    At this time, not only the fourth house of the Ji family''s main branch, but also everyone in the Ji family''s collateral line could not help but feel a little numb. In just one night, the Ji family''s family head shuffled around between three people.


    If it hadn''t happened just now, no one would have believed such a bizarre thing.


    Only a middle-aged man from the fourth house stepped forward and said, "I have seen the head of the house!"


    This person was Ji Bugui¡¯s father. He usually treated this shy son with cold temperament. But at this time, Ji Bugui had directly taken the position of the head of the family, which surprised him very much.


    Xu Jianghe and Ji Luoyang looked at each other, both bowed their hands towards Ji Bugui, and said, "I have seen the head."


    One after another, members of the Ji family paid tribute to Ji Bugui, but most of them were perfunctory.


    Ji Luoyang, as the Ji family''s only True Dao realm expert at this time, looked around at the Ji family''s thousands of people, and suddenly there was a hint of ambition in his heart.


    But after a while, he forcibly suppressed this thought. Ji Yuenian''s sword light was still fresh in his eyes, and he was lucky enough to escape, so it was better not to make small moves.


    Thinking of this, Ji Luoyang set his mind and activated his Profound energy, saying loudly, "From now on, the order of the head of the family is the golden decree. If anyone dares to have any schemes, or plots behind our backs, don''t blame me for being ruthless!"


    As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Ji family was obviously a lot more enthusiastic when they all bowed their heads to Ji Bugui.


    Ji Bugui was still a little at a loss.


    He stood there for a while, and then he calmed himself and said to Xu Jianghe, "Commander Xu Jianghe, please bring someone to repair the Hall of Tranquility and several branch halls."


    Xu Jianghe first glanced at Ji Luoyang, then bowed to Ji Bugui and said, "My lord is too polite. If you want to give an order, just call me by my name, no need to say a word."


    Ji Bugui subconsciously nodded and said, "Okay."


    The Hall of Tranquility had been inundated by the waves just now. At this time, it was riddled with holes. Xu Jianghe ordered more than a hundred people to leave here to carry materials to repair the damaged halls.


    Ji Family Ancestral Temple.


    Ji Yuenian stepped into the quiet and spacious hall, and all he saw were hundreds of memorial tablets.


    He did not stay in the main hall for a long time, but walked directly towards the side hall, where the Ji family''s treasury was located.


    The treasury hall was not large, but there were more than twenty magical treasures of various colors arranged in it, but these were all ordinary magical treasures, and none of them could compare with the spiritual magical treasure, the Royal Spirit Ebony Sword.


    The value of an ordinary magic weapon was between two spirit stones to three spirit stones, but a spiritual magic weapon was worth at least a hundred spirit stones!


    Spirit stones were extremely precious, and most ordinary people had never seen one in their entire lives. Even if the Ji family was one of the aristocratic cultivation families in charge of the ancient city of Taichu, there were only less than two hundred spirit stones in the treasury today.


    This was where the true heritage of a cultivating family lied.


    If the spiritual tax that Ji''s family received every year were converted into spirit stones, it would only make six or seven pieces. In addition to the daily consumption of spiritual grain and spiritual rice, it was also distributed between the four houses of the main line and the collateral line. There were only two or three spirit stones accumulated in the whole year.


    Although the Ji family had been accumulating spirit stones over the years, not every family head cared about the Ji family, and selfish people still accounted for the majority.


    Many previous patriarchs not only did not think of ways to increase their treasury, but instead took spirit stones and magic treasures from the treasury from time to time. As a result, the Ji family''s current treasury contained only less than two hundred spirit stones.


    Ji Yuenian carefully looked at the magic weapons arranged separately, and finally stopped his gaze on the White Jade Ring. This was a good-looking storage magic weapon, worth about five spirit stones.


    Even though he was the eldest son of the Ji family, he didn''t have a decent storage magic weapon at all, only a storage bag worth less than half a spirit stone.


    This was not because the Ji family was deliberately harsh on him, but because the spirit stones were too precious. For a cultivation family that had no other income source of spiritual things other than the mortal spiritual tax, every spirit stone was so precious that there was no room for wastage.


    He took off the storage magic weapon¡ªWhite Jade Ring¡ªand put it on his wrist. Ji Yuenian collected another 150 spirit stones, a long sword which was a magic weapon of relatively good quality, and a small defense type treasure. After collecting the magic weapon and a bottle of ten "Qi Gathering Pills", he turned around and left the treasury hall.


    There was a forbidden formation outside the treasury hall, and only the blood descendant of the Ji family holding the Ebony Sword could enter it. Therefore, this extremely precious spiritual magic weapon had always been possessed by the previous patriarch, and he would never leave it in another hand.


    Holding the Ebony Sword, he closed the treasury hall again. Ji Yuenian returned to the main ancestral hall again, raised his head and glanced at the seat at the highest point of many tablets, and walked straight out of the ancestral hall.


    There were only three words on the spiritual seat, Ji Suming.


    This person was the inner disciple of the Taiyu Ancient Sect thousands of years ago, and he was the only person in the Ji family who had cultivated the realm up to the Divine Sea Realm.


    After his cultivation had reached the Divine Sea, he could not break through any further. He was finally released from the sect and came to the ancient city of Taichu, thus establishing the Ji family. The rest of the cultivation families in the ancient city of Taichu were probably had a similar history.


    Ancient Taiyu Sect was the most powerful sect in the Yuanyan realm. It ruled 19 ancient cities within a territory of hundreds of thousands of miles. It had been tens of thousands of years without major wars.


    Therefore, these cultivating families, which were divided at random, had always represented the Ancient Taiyu Sect which commanded countless ordinary people to plant low-level spiritual grass, spiritual rice, spiritual fruit and other things, and collected spiritual taxes for their own use.


    The only function of these nineteen ancient cities for Ancient Taiyu Sect was to continuously provide new disciples for this behemoth that dominated the Yuanyan realm, to continue its sect inheritance.

 Ch. 34 - Devouring Cloud City

    Squeak.Ji Yuenian opened the door and quietly looked at the familiar furnishings in the study. After a long silence, he picked up the ancient book he had read this season from the desk and put it in the white jade ring, then turned around and walked out.


    "Eldest Son, the carriage is ready and ready to set off any time."


    Ji Bugui had changed into a luxurious satin robe, he stood respectfully outside Ji Yuenian''s study room, and opened his mouth carefully.


    Ji Yuenian nodded slightly and said, "You were willing to take a big risk and help me suppress Ji Luoyan, Ji Hong and others. I¡¯m pleased."


    "The Eldest Son is being humble," Ji Bugui said with a self deprecation, "It was the Eldest Son who devised the strategy first, and Ji Bugui dares not take credit."


    As soon as these words fell, a luxurious carriage made of jade and golden carvings slowly drove in from the outer residence and stopped in front of the side hall.


    Because of Ji Yuenian''s special order, Ji Luoyang, Xu Jianghe and others did not come to see them off, and now there were only a dozen or so people in front of this side hall.


    One of the Ji family guards stepped forward to lift the curtain of the carriage for Ji Yuenian, and the other knelt on the ground under the carriage for him to step on.


    Ji Yuenian got into the carriage and said, "Let''s go."


    The coachman was a young man of about eleven or twelve years old. He heard Ji Yuenian speak, and responded in a crisp voice, "Yes, Eldest Son!"


    Ji Bugui stood there, quietly looking at the carriage that was gradually receding above the official road in Anyang City, with a complicated expression.


    It was not until the carriage left the city gate that he turned around and walked into the side hall.


    ¡­


    There were eight palaces in the inner city, Anyang City was located in the northwest corner, and the Hexuan Taoist''s Heyun Temple was located in the east of the Devouring Cloud City.


    At this time, it was the early hours of morning, and the brilliant golden morning glow traversed the sky.


    Ji Yuenian stopped his cultivation, opened his eyes slightly inside the carriage, and said softly, "Although you are young, you are skilled at driving the carriage, swift and steady, which is very good."


    The young man''s voice was a little shrill, and he didn''t turn his head, but replied in a crisp voice, "Eldest Son, I have been a coachman in Luoxue Pavilion since I was eight years old, and it has been four years since I was a coachman."


    There was a hint of self-satisfaction in his tone.


    "What''s your name?"


    "My Eldest Son, I come from a collateral bloodline, my name is Ji Buyu."


    [ED: Reminder. Here the address ¡°Eldest Son¡± is an acknowledgement of status and position rather than the generic usage of the terms.]


    Ji Yueyue nodded lightly and said, "No wonder Ji Bugui arranged for you to drive. You are really smart."


    Ji Buyu''s tone gradually lowered, and there was a hint of sadness in it, "I was driving for the wife of the owner, and obeyed the orders of Luoxue Pavilion. The previous lady was brutally killed, and I was transferred by the owner to serve the Eldest Son."


    While the two of them were talking, they were already under the magnificent gate of Devouring Cloud City.


    Several city guards came over, looked at the luxurious carriage carefully, and became a little respectful unconsciously.


    One of them said respectfully, "I don''t know which noble has come from the inner city?"


    Ji Buyu slowly stopped the carriage, looked at the person who spoke, and said, "Anyang Ji''s family."


    The few city guards looked more respectful, and they all moved out of the way, leading the carriage towards the city gate that was more than ten feet wide.


    Devouring Cloud City was different from the other inner cities. It was the location of Heyun Temple. There were many descendants and disciples of Daoist Hexuan, and most of them had ignited their Heart Fire. People who had ignited the Heart Fires mostly stayed in the Devouring Cloud City.


    The interior of the city was a little deserted, and there were few pedestrians, chariots, and horses on the official road. Ji Buyu drove the carriage and headed straight for the Heyun Temple in the center of the city.


    "Luoxue Pavilion, if I remember correctly, is Xu Lian''er''s home?" Ji Yuenian spoke in a young voice.


    Ji Buyu''s eyes dimmed, and he said, ¡°Yes, Eldest Son." s?a??h th? ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    After a moment of silence, he summoned up his courage again and asked in a low voice, "Eldest son, I want to know what crime did the master''s wife commit?"


    "Xu Lian''er?" Ji Yuenian didn''t get angry, just shook his head gently, "She was innocent."


    Ji Buyu''s voice trembled slightly, obviously already crying, "Master¡¯s wife treated people very well. She had never been as harsh and cruel as the rest of the main branch, and she was extremely caring of me. Eldest Son, if she was really innocent, why was she brutally killed?"


    When Xu Lian''er was slapped to death by the Third Elder the night before, Ji Buyu was still in the village and town outside the city of Anyang Mansion and did not know the specific situation.


    Although he was a collateral bloodline of the Ji family, he belonged to the group of people with the thinnest bloodline. There was no mansion or house for them in Anyang City, and he could only live outside Anyang City with dozens of other coachmen who drove their carriage and took care of their families. In Mafu Town, he would get up early and go to the city of Anyang to wait for work.


    Xu Lian¡¯er once bought a small house for him with four rooms in the inner city, but Ji Buyu still returned to Mafu Town every night to accompany his parents, and never lived in Anyang City.


    After a long while, when he did not hear the answer from the person behind him for a long time, Ji Buyu didn''t dare to ask anymore. His eyes moistened thinking about the kindness Xu Lian¡¯er had shown him.


    "Stop," Leng Su''s voice came to his ears, and a black-robed youth in the early stage of the Profound Realm walked over and looked at the carriage, "Who is coming?"


    It was already outside the Heyun Temple.


    Just as Ji Buyu was about to speak, the curtain of the carriage behind was lifted, and Ji Yuenian got off.


    "Ji family¡¯s Ji Yuenian."


    The black-robed youth was stunned for a moment, his expression a little suspicious, and said, "It turned out to be Young Master Ji. I have also heard about Young Master Ji''s return from the Qingluan Mountains, which is astounding."


    He seemed a little hesitant to speak.


    Ji Yuenian vaguely saw what he was thinking, and said, "Fellow Daoist is wondering, why is it not Ji Quexue, right?"


    The black-robed youth nodded and said, "Yes, Anyang Ji''s family has produced a genius with a Grade 6 Heart Fire Sequence, which shocked the entire ancient city of Taichu. I thought that Ji Quexue would come from the Ji family."


    After a pause, he said again, "Let''s go, I''ll take you inside."


    Ji Yuenian nodded, and followed the black-robed youth into the exterior gate of Heyun Temple.


    Ji Buyu got on the carriage alone, and was warming his hands while breathing, when a very surprised voice came from behind him, "Cousin!"


    The two carriages stopped one after another on the side of Ji''s carriage, and a handsome young man in a moon-white robe got off the carriage and walked directly towards Ji Buyu.


    Ji Buyu searched and scratched his head for a long time before he remembered who this person was.


    The second son of the Zhao family, Zhao Xiaoyun, who had the cultivation in the upper realm of the Profound Realm, Ji Yuenian was his closest cousin.


    Zhao Xiaoyun stopped and noticed that there was no one in the carriage, so he turned to Ji Buyu and said, "Is the person the Eldest Son, Ji Yuenian?"


    Ji Buyu nodded and said, "Yes."


    Zhao Xiaoyun showed a hint of joy on his face, and said to himself, "The Zhao family is very close to Anyang City, where the Ji family is located, and I have just received news from the Ji family. My cousin returned this time not only safe and sound, but also suppressed everyone!"

 Ch. 35 - Xuanqing Hall

    "Zhao Xiaoyun, are you going in or not?"On the other Zhao family''s carriage, two people walked down one after another. The girl walking in front had a slightly gloomy expression, and there was already a look of impatience in her eyes.


    Zhao Xiaoyun turned his head to the side, and snorted coldly, "Zhao Yanran, don''t show me your arrogance, I''m too lazy to serve you."


    Zhao Yanran was a little impatient, but there was nothing she could do to Zhao Xiaoyun, so she glanced at Zhao Xiaoyun angrily, and then took Zhao Sixing by her side and went straight into the exterior of the door.


    "I haven''t yet ignited my Heart Fire in this age. Even if I enter the Taiyu Ancient Sect, it will not provide any good results."


    Zhao Xiaoyun murmured in a low voice, waved his hand towards Ji Buyu, and followed Zhao Yanran into the gate.


    Heyun Temple was about three miles in diameter. Although there were many Daoist pagodas and buildings in it, there were few people, and it was very quiet.


    "Master Ji, master is now in the central hall of the Xuanqing Hall, you can go in."


    The black-robed youth led Ji Yuenian to walk, and he acted neither humble nor arrogant on their way to a majestic and magnificent palace.


    Ji Yuenian bowed his head towards him and said, "Thank you, fellow Daoist."


    "You don''t need to be too polite. Master prefers quiet on weekdays, so no one is patrolling outside the hall. Young Master Ji, go in." The black-robed youth shook his head and smiled.


    Ji Yuenian nodded lightly, turned around and set foot on one of the ninety-nine stone steps in front of the Xuanqing Hall, climbing towards the towering and tall gate of the hall.


    Under the gate, Ji Yuenian was able to appreciate the grandeur of the Xuanqing Hall. The hall door alone was several feet high. Although it was late, the hall was still brightly lit, and the real images of several gods enshrined in it were faintly visible.


    Stepping into the central hall, all the noises disappeared from the ear in an instant. The hall was extremely quiet, and even the sound of his own breathing could be heard clearly.


    "Which family?"


    Some cold voices entered his ears.


    Ji Yuenian had just crossed the two-foot-high threshold at this time, and when he looked up, it was a beautiful and gorgeous woman, wearing a blue robe, looking at him quietly.


    "Anyang Ji''s family."


    The woman in Tsing Yi nodded and said, "Come with me, I will lead you to see master."


    "Thank you, fellow Daoist"


    Ji Yuenian walked towards the depths of Xuanqing Hall with the woman, and his eyes paused for a moment when he passed by the three true statues of gods.


    The land of Taichu respected the gods.


    One is the Land God who protects the ancient city of Taichu, and the other was the Realm God who guarded the Yuan Yan Realm.


    The other real image of the god was somewhat intriguing. It was a god with six Buddhist instruments suspended behind him: a bell, a golden drum, a chime, a zheng drum, a cymbal, and a fan bell. The great king of Bishamon Dajue from Beiju Luzhou.


    In the ancient myths and legends, the Tianwang Duwen has been in the 33 heavens for a long time, and the title of the Tianwang Duwen Bishamon Dajue has long been abandoned. Now the title of this deity is only Tianwang Duwen in the north. S?a??h th? N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    This real image of the deity is the appearance of King Bishamon Dajue, so Ji Yuenian was a little surprised.


    Before the woman in Tsing Yi took him to the side hall gate, she turned her head and left without saying a word.


    Ji Yuenian looked at her back for a moment, his eyes moved slightly, and he turned and walked into the side hall.


    The side hall was still extremely grand and spacious, and the flow of profound energy had also become much smoother. There was no real statue of gods in the hall, but there was a hexagonal Daoist platform about several feet high in the center, on which sat a Daoist in green robes.


    "Ji Yuenian of the Anyang Ji family, I have seen Hexuan Shangzhen."


    Ji Yuenian took a step forward and respectfully saluted him.


    Daoist Hexuan opened his eyes slightly, and said, "No need to be polite, just find a futon and wait for a while."


    Ji Yuenian looked sideways, only to realize that there were several people in the side hall, sitting on the futon respectively, and at this moment they turned their heads to look at him.


    Because Daoist Hexuan was on top, none of these cultivators ever opened their mouths, but the expressions in their eyes revealed their true thoughts.


    Didn¡¯t the Ji family have Ji Quexue? Did the eldest son, Ji Yuenian, not have his Heart Fire extinguished, and his cultivation ruined?


    The news did not travel to them as fast as it did with the Zhao family, and yet the news reached them in the end.


    Ji Yuenian never cared about the eyes of these people, so he found a futon at random and sat down.


    After about half an incense later, there were very clear footsteps outside the hall again. Zhao Yanran, Zhao Xiaoyun, and Zhao Sixing walked in one after another, and they all saluted the Daoist Hexuan on the Daoist platform.


    Daoist Hexuan frowned slightly and looked at the three Zhao family members with a displeased expression, and said, "Why are there so many people in the Zhao family?"


    Zhao Yanran took a step forward, took out a wooden box from her sleeve, and said respectfully, "Shangzhen Hexuan, my father misses Shangzhen very much, but he was unable to come to see him because of his habitual affairs, so Yanran came to offer a small gift on behalf of my father. No disrespect is intended."


    [ED: Third person address.]


    Daoist Hexuan had an expressionless face, flicked his sleeves, and the wooden box flew to his side.


    He stretched out his hand to open the wooden box, and there were fifty spiritual stones neatly arranged in it. In an instant, an incomparably rich heaven and earth spiritual energy filled the hall.


    "Forget it, you can find a futon and sit down separately, and wait for a while."


    Daoist Hexuan put down the wooden box, closed his eyes again, and stopped speaking.


    Zhao Yanran and the three looked at each other, and they all found a futon and sat down.

 Ch. 36 - The Stars Always Gather Around the Moon

    After another stick of incense, the Chu family also arrived in the hall, and there were more than ten people sitting on the futon.Except for the Zhao family and the Mu family, there was only one person from the other remaining aristocratic cultivation family.


    Daoist Hexuan got off the platform and said, "Twenty days later, the unified entrance examination of the Taiyu Sect in the nineteen ancient cities will be conducted. You can skip this step and follow me to the Taiyu Sect in advance. Within the Luoxia Mountains where the Outer Sect is located. Shuang¡¯er, get the specially made Outer Sect tokens and distribute them one by one.¡±


    More than a dozen people all stood up from the futon with respectful expressions.


    The cold-looking woman in green clothes stepped into the side hall, took out a dozen tokens from the storage bag, and handed them over to the people from the cultivation family.


    When passing by Ji Yuenian, her eyes paused on his face for a moment, and then she put the token in his hand.


    Ji Yuenian thoughtfully looked at the black token of the Outer Sect.


    In the front of the Outer Sect token, a magnificent scenery of mountains and rivers was inscribed.


    A rich spiritual energy surged out from it, and the back was only engraved with two words, Luoxia.


    ¡°These tokens are without owners, you can¡¯t use them.¡±


    Daoist Hexuan''s voice drifted into his ears. "After reaching the Luoxia Mountains, you need to go to the Service (or Registration) Mountain peak to record them in the book before you can really use this token."


    The dozen people respectfully responded.


    Not all of these people had their Heart Fires ignited. For example, Zhao Yanran of the Zhao family and Chu Lingyue of the Chu family were all ordinary people at this time, and the Heart Fire that was attached to their souls had always been silent.


    "Ji Yuenian, it''s very good to have a cultivation of the Profound Sea before joining the sect." Hexuan around for a second and set his eyes on Ji Yuenian. "I remember that a few days ago in the Ji family, a woman ignited her Heart Fire. It was a Grade 6 Heart Fire Sequence, why didn''t she come today?"


    Ji Yuenian saluted and said, "Shangzhen Hexuan, Ji Quexue committed a serious crime a while ago. Her cultivation base has been abolished, and she has been imprisoned."


    Daoist Hexuan seemed a little regretful, and said, ¡°There were only two who possessed the Grade 6 Heart Fire Sequence in the entire ancient city of Taichu. You and Ji Quexue.¡±


    Although he had the authority to directly appoint and dismiss the patriarchs of major cultivation families, he had never participated in those chores. At this time, the Ji family obviously had a problem. If it was not necessary, Daoist Hexuan simply didn''t bother to intervene.


    The reason he mentioned this was because he was in charge of the ancient city of Taichu, so he naturally hoped that there would be more talents born here.


    Even Ji Quexue was different from Zhao Yanran.


    Zhao Yanran was only a mortal. If the Zhao family wanted to add two more positions, they would have to pay a huge price of dozens of spirit stones. If Ji Quexue was here, it was within reason that he¡¯d have given the token directly, unlike how impatient he was while dealing with the Zhao family.


    "You wait for a while in the hall, and follow me to the Luoxia Mountains at night."


    After leaving these words, Daoist Hexuan walked out of the side hall with Shuang''er, the woman in blue.


    "Cousin!"


    Seeing Daoist Hexuan go away, Zhao Xiaoyun stepped forward directly, with a very excited expression on his face. s?a??h th? N?velF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Ji Yuenian had almost no people who he was close to in the Ji family and Zhao family. Only Zhao Xiaoyun, the second son of the Zhao family, was familiar with him. In the past few years, he often visited Ji Yuenian in the Anyang mansion. When Ji Yuenian disappeared in the Qingluan Mountains earlier, Zhao Xiaoyun was even more worried, and was always following the news about the Ji''s family.


    "Cousin really did a good job. You turned the Ji family upside down overnight."


    Zhao Yanran walked over and smiled lightly.


    Ji Yuenian glanced at her, ignored, and said to Zhao Xiaoyun, "You all know about the Ji family?"


    Zhao Xiaoyun nodded and said, "It was not yet dawn, and there was news of an unexpected change in Anyang. After Ji Hong was removed from the position of the patriarch, he was taken into the Hall of Imprisonment, and Elder Ji Luoyan was tortured, but to top it all was the election of head of the family, who turned out to be an unknown son of a concubine from one of the collateral lines."


    After those words were said, the rest of the cultivators'' expressions changed slightly, and they all pretended to be casual and approached him.


    "Cousin, you¡ª"


    Zhao Yanran was interrupted by Zhao Xiaoyun before she finished, "Zhao Yanran, who is your cousin?" Zhao Xiaoyun''s expression was dark.


    "Eldest Young Master Ji''s mother is my aunt, so why is he not my cousin?"


    Zhao Xiaoyun sneered and said, "That''s right, but how many times have you met this cousin? You are the daughter of the head of the family and the Eldest Miss of the Zhao family, but how many times have you been to the Ji family in Anyang?"


    Chu family¡¯s Chu Lingyue said lightly, "I remember that in the outer city not long ago, Miss Zhao was shot more than ten feet away by someone''s palm. The person who shot her seems to be Miss Zhao''s ''cousin''?"


    "Chu Lingyue, what does my Zhao family have to do with you!?" Zhao Yanran turned her head to look at Chu Lingyue, her tone was extremely unkind.


    "The matter of the Zhao family really has nothing to do with me. I just want to remind Ji Yuenian not to be confused by some people who are aggressive and two-faced."


    The softer Chu Lingyue''s voice was, the more resentful Zhao Yanran felt in her heart, but because this was in the Heyun Temple, she couldn''t do anything to Chu Lingyue at all.


    Zhao Xiaoyun looked at the raging Zhao Yanran, and felt a little funny in his heart. He turned his head to Ji Yuenian and said, "Cousin, has all your cultivation returned? Has your memory been restored?"


    Ji Yuenian shook his head and said, "My cultivation base has recovered a little, and the memory ... I can say it restored.¡±


    His Heart Fire had been completely extinguished before. Since the spiritual fire was ignited, it could be regarded as a re-cultivation in essence.


    "Have you found the one who did it?¡±


    Ji Yuenian''s eyes were a little dark, and he said softly, "Ji Luoyan died too quickly, but I noticed a clue in Ji Baiyu''s soul memory."


    Zhao Xiaoyun wanted to ask again, but when he saw Ji Yuenian wave his hand, he obviously didn''t want to mention it any longer.


    "Master Ji, I''m Xu Jianfeng from the Xu family. I have long heard that Young Master Ji Yuenian is the most talented man in the world, and now that I¡¯ve seen you, and you really live up to its reputation."


    "Young Master Ji ..."


    In a short time, many people from the cultivation families gathered together and greeted Ji Yuenian.


    Ever since Daoist Hexuan said that Ji Yuenian had already cultivated up to the Profound Sea Realm, these people had a change in their thoughts.


    The vast majority of the beings who first entered the Luoxia Mountains of the Outer Sect were ordinary people, and only a few them ignited their Heart Fire ahead of time.


    Before their journey even began, he was already a big step ahead of the rest. This advantage was too huge to be described in words.

 Ch. 37 - Taiyu Sect, 6 Mountains and 3 Realms

    Several hours passed by in the blink of an eye, and the members from various cultivating families all sat cross-legged on a futon in a hall beside the Xuanqing Hall, peacefully, waiting for Daoist Hexuan¡¯s presence.Although they were all in their teens, they had a more mature and calm mind than ordinary people. They sat on the futon for several hours, and there was no sign of impatience on their faces.


    "Master asks you to wait outside the gate of the main hall of Xuanqing."


    The woman wearing the blue robe stepped into the side hall, left a sentence, and then turned around to walk outside.


    "This woman is only in the initial stage of the Profound Realm, but she just hit the big luck and was admitted by Hexuan Shangzhen. How dare she behave so arrogantly in front of us." A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy complained with a displeased expression on his face.


    "That''s right, when she brought me to the side hall, she looked like everyone owed her dozens of spirit stones."


    Immediately, there were several people who agreed, but most of the people didn''t say a word, just stood up and walked towards the outside of the hall.


    "Cousin, this woman seems a little strange."


    Zhao Xiaoyun walked side by side with Ji Yuenian and whispered in his ear.


    Ji Yuenian glanced at him sideways, shook his head, and said, "She''s not human."


    Zhao Xiaoyun''s complexion changed slightly, and he asked in doubt, "I just noticed that her Profound Energy is a little obscure. From my cousin''s point of view, what is she?"


    "Eighty percent may be the Mirror Demon, and the remaining 20 percent, she should be the Mirror Ghost," Ji Yuenian said in a low voice, "When you leave the palace, you can carefully observe her pupils, which is her own mirror image."


    ¡°She¡¯s eighty percent a Mirror Demon, and the rest of should be a Mirror Ghost,¡± Ji Yuenian said in a low voice. ¡°When you leave the hall, observe her pupils carefully. It should reflect her own mirror image.¡±


    The Mirror Demon was a mirror born with intelligence and turned into a demon, and the Mirror Ghost is an evil ghost living in the mirror. Although the two are somewhat similar, they are actually two completely different creatures.


    Zhao Xiaoyun said: "Then this woman is definitely a demon. The ancient city of Taichu has the protection of the gods, so the ghost and demons should not enter."


    "Stupid," Zhao Yanran walked up to the two of them, looking at Zhao Xiaoyun with some disdain, "Don''t forget, Hexuan Shangzhen is a disciple of the Sixth Mountain of Ancient Taiyu Sect, and there are nineteen ancient cities. They are all under the rule of the Taiyu Ancient City, even the god of the land is concerned about the strength of Taiyu, why is it strange that Hexuan Shangzhen keeps a ghost here?"


    Zhao Xiaoyun was speechless for a while, and glanced at Zhao Yanran angrily, then he quickened his pace and stopped looking at her.


    On the contrary, Ji Yuenian looked at Zhao Yanran again with a thoughtful look in his eyes.


    To be able to clearly observe the complex relationship between the gods of heaven and earth, such as the Supreme God of Earth, and the Taiyu Sect, this woman was obviously not as simple as she seemed.


    While they were talking, many of the aristocratic cultivators had already walked outside the gate of the Xuanqing Hall. Daoist Hexuan and a boy about seventeen or eighteen years old were standing beside the gate of the palace. The three-foot-wide giant sword was suspended on the side, exuding a strong aura of forbidden defense formation.


    "Flying magic weapon!"


    "It also carries a defensive forbidden formation on it!"


    "Such a precious flying magic weapon is probably worth more than twenty spirit stones."


    "In my opinion, at least twenty-five spirit stones!"


    Admiration could be heard from everyone, but Daoist Hexuan didn''t care at all. He glanced back at random, counted the number of people again, and said, "I have other important things today, and Lu Han will lead you to the Luoxia Mountains. Many chores along the way has to be done according to his orders."


    The young man was wearing a green Daoist robe. With a smile on his face, he clasped his hands towards Ji Yuenian and the others, and said, "Junior brothers and sisters, please."


    "Yes, Senior Brother Lu." s?a??h th? ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    More than a dozen people responded one after another and stepped onto the body of the giant sword. Some mortals were a little unsteady and almost fell down, but Lu Han stretched out his hand and pulled them back.


    Seeing that everyone was already on the giant sword, Lu Han said with a smile, "I will open the protective forbidding formation later, and you will no longer have to worry about falling."


    After speaking, he turned around and saluted Hexuan Shangzhen, and said respectfully, "Master Shangzhen, then I''ll go."


    Daoist Hexuan nodded and said, "Let''s go."


    Lu Han activated the giant sword, and it gradually lifted into the sky with slight tremors. The speed became faster and faster, breaking through the clouds and soaring toward the boundless sky.


    The translucent condensed light shield gradually emerged from the sword body, and the violent wind howled and whistled several meters away, but it did not affect the people inside the shield in the slightest.


    "Senior Brother Lu, when you go to the Luoxia Mountains, are you also going to join the Taiyu Saint Sect?"


    [ED: Taiyu¡¯s name has both Holy/Saint and Ancient used interchangeably.]


    When Lu Han heard the words, he turned around and looked at the young man who asked the question. He smiled kindly and said, "I followed Hexuan Shangzhen to practice for seven years, and I was able to break through to the first realm of the True Dao Realm. From here, I went to Taiyu Ancinet Sect and directly entered the Chaolu Mountains of the Sixth Mountain. I am an inner sect disciple of the sixth mountain range."


    "After seven years of cultivation, you have reached the initial stage of True Dao Realm!" The person who spoke was stunned.


    Zhao Yanran, Chu Lingyue and the others also showed shock. They had long thought that Lu Han should be in the first realm, but they never thought that he had only practiced for seven years!


    It was only in the True Dao Realm that the Flying magic treasure could be used.


    "Senior Brother Lu, what your Heart Fire Sequence?"


    Lu Han squeezed a small sword in his hand, and the giant sword under his feet became faster and faster, and his voice echoed, ¡°Grade 5."


    As soon as these words came out, even Ji Yuenian and Zhao Xiaoyun were a little surprised. After all, among the several cultivating families in Taichu Ancient City, there had been thousands of years since people have been born with a Grade 5 Heart Fire Sequence.


    Zhao Sixing said with a look of admiration on his face, "Senior Brother Lu has such astonishing talent, he will definitely be a big shot when he goes to the Taiyu Holy Sect and will overwhelm his peers."


    This time, Lu Han shook his head earnestly, and said, "You descendants of cultivating families are like frogs in the bottom of a well, living in a corner for thousands of years, used to being the emperors and empresses of your little land, and ignorant of the vastness of heaven and earth. The aptitude of a Grade 6 Heart Fire Sequence, even in the Chaolu Mountain Range of the Sixth Mountain Range, can only be called good."


    Hearing this, more than ten teenagers and girls all looked a little nonplussed, but they didn''t dare to refute Lu Han in person.


    Lu Han noticed the change in their expressions, and his smile was still very kind. He shook his head and said, "The Taiyu Holy Sect has suppressed the Yuanyan realm for countless years, and the geniuses are like countless stars in the galaxy. The ancient city of Taichu is one of the nineteen ancient cities. Inside is one of the barren territories, and the spiritual energy is thin. An individual, even if he or she has the aptitude of Grade 7 or 8 Heart Fire Sequence, they will definitely waste a lot of time in the Outer Sect, and even breaking into the True Dao Realm might be a little difficult."


    He had no malice in his words, he just told the facts, but such straightforward words still made these descendants from the cultivation families very depressed.


    Only a few who had never ignited their Heart Fire felt better. After all, they hadn''t shown their sequence yet, so they naturally didn''t belong to the "seventh-rank" and "eighth-rank" Heart Fire sequence for the time being.


    The atmosphere above the giant sword gradually fell silent, and more than a dozen people scattered in twos and threes.


    Ji Yuenian walked to the tip of the giant sword, stood side by side with Lu Han, looking at the clouds that were far apart under the sword, and said, "Senior Brother Lu."


    Lu Han turned his head to look at Ji Yuenian with a somewhat inexplicable smile, and said, "Ji family¡¯s Ji Yuenian?"


    "Yes."


    "I can''t see through your rank (Heart Fire)," Lu Han said truthfully, "But according to the rumors in the ancient city of Taichu, it''s at least at the 6th Grade.¡±


    Ji Yuenian nodded and said, "Isn''t Senior Brother Lu a native of Taichu Ancient City?"


    "I can be barely considered one," Lu Han turned his head and looked at the mist in front of him, "I grew up in an outer city. When I was three years old, my parents were beaten to death by the government health workers who came to collect the spiritual tax because they stole some spiritual rice. The event ignited my Heart Fire when I was ten years old, and was accidentally discovered by Hexuan Shangzhen, and he took me with him. So I have been cultivating with him until now."


    Ji Yuenian was a little surprised, and said, "It turned out to be the Grade 5 Heart Fire Sequence. Brother Lu''s talent is really astounding."


    ¡°In a giant sect like Taiyu Holy Sect, in fact what is most important isn¡¯t one¡¯s aptitude, but one¡¯s loyalty to the sect, and even more importantly, the adherence one has to the rules of the sect.¡±


    "The sect, the rules of the sect." Ji Yuenian had a contemplative look in his eyes.


    "Yes, the sect rules of the Taiyu Holy Sect are extremely strict. Countless disciples in the Six Mountains and Three Realms need to abide by the sect rules at all times. The laws are ruthless."


    As the two of them spoke, the giant sword had already pierced through the thick cloud layer that stretched for thousands of miles, and the bright white moonlight shone down, reflecting the huge sword body, giving it a dazzling silver halo.


    Standing on the giant sword, the vast mountains and rivers under his feet could be seen in his eyes. From such a distance, the world looked unbelievably vast. It was pity. His eyes, unfortunately, couldn¡¯t see through the boundlessness, and he could only make out a blur in the place where the heaven and earth met.

 Ch. 38 - Eclipse Moon Peak

    The Luoxia Mountain Range was more than 700 kilometers in area, and it was where the Taiyu Sect was located at. There were hundreds of peaks and many Dao Fields (desirable places for cultivation) in it. There were more than 100,000 disciples of the Outer Sect and hundreds of thousands of normal disciples (who were assigned with the most basic of chores)."Is this the Luoxia Mountains!"


    From time to time, a gasp could be heard above the giant sword. Lu Han rode the sword into the territory of the Luoxia Mountains, and was met with a breathtaking sight.


    There were densely packed figures in the many mountain Dao Fields, and there were countless rainbows of myriad colors encompassing the sky. There were countless pavilions, protruding eaves, jade halls, countless beautiful and exquisite buildings arranged in continuous rows, under the veil of the serene clouds and dreamy mists. It was like a fairyland. s?a??h th? ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    No matter how arrogant Zhao Yanran and others were in the ancient city of Taichu, when they arrived here, they all felt like an insignificant ant, extremely insignificant.


    Lu Han shook his head and said, "Luoxia Mountains is only the Outer Sect of the Taiyu Sect, and the vastness of the six Inner sects is beyond your imagination."


    They traveled for about half an incense stick again, and the giant sword slowly fell on a towering mountain that was more than three thousand feet high.


    This mountain was called the Service (Chinese:- Shanwu. Previously it was translated as Registration Peak, but it will be changed now) Peak, and there were four halls on it: Sect Service hall, Spiritual Material hall, Law Enforcement hall and the Hall of Records, which were responsible for many chores of hundreds of thousands of disciples in the Luoxia Mountains.


    The giant sword fell on a stone platform on top of the peak. It had a radius of several dozen meters. Lu Han jumped down, and said, "Let''s go, let¡¯s get you registered."


    Zhao Xiaoyun got off the giant sword, looked at the Service Mountain Peak in which many people were rushing for their jobs, and said, "The top of this peak is hundreds of meters in area. It''s so flat. How come it seems like it''s been flattened by someone?"


    Lu Han glanced at him sideways, and said, "This peak is the main peak of the Luoxia Mountains. It was originally ten thousand meters high, but it was cut off seven thousand meters by a sword to use it as the mountain for the outer sect."


    Zhao Yanran and the others were all fascinated and amazed.


    "Take out the token of the Outer Sect given by Hexuan Shangzhen, and follow me to the Hall of Records."


    Lu Han gently struck the sword tip, and the giant sword gradually shrank down in response, finally turning into a delicate little sword, which he put in his storage magic weapon.


    "Yes, Senior Brother Lu."


    Everyone responded in succession and followed Lu Han to the famous Hall of Records.


    The Hall of Records was located on the west side of the Service Peak. There were two magnificent halls standing around it, but Lu Han did not hesitate and stepped directly into the main hall in the center.


    "What''s the matter?"


    A black-robed disciple in the Profound Realm came up with a cold attitude.


    Ji Yuenian looked around the hall, there were many black-robed disciples in the same attire, busy working and more than ten disciples in green robes were holding tokens to negotiate with them. These people should have entered the Luoxia Mountains to cultivate, and must be the Outer Sect disciples.


    Lu Han''s expression did not change. He took out a jade talisman from his sleeve, and said, "These are junior brothers and sisters who are behind me, all of them are from the 18th ancient city of Taichu. I will bring them over to register in advance as usual."


    The black-robed disciple took the jade talisman, looked up at Ji Yuenian and the others, snorted softly, and said, "A group of things that are just here to make up the number, come with me."


    "Who do you think is here to make up the numbers?" Everyone''s expressions changed slightly, only Zhao Sixing''s face turned red as he spoke angrily.


    These remarks hit the sore spot in the Zhao family fairly.


    Lu Han said urgently, "Shut up!"


    However, it was too late.


    The black-robed disciple had already turned around, but at this time he slowly fixed his gaze on at Zhao Sixing and smiled, "I said you are a bum from the backwaters, you are just a dog who makes up the numbers, a poor bastard without any self-awareness."


    After the words were finished, he fished out a long sword between his hands, and stabbed directly at Zhao Sixing!


    Zhao Sixing was in a state of panic and could not manage to take out the magic weapon to defend, so he could only condense a shield of Profound energy to protect himself.


    The power of the sword light of this black-robed disciple in the initial stage the Profound Realm was extremely unexpected. Not only did the sword pierce through Zhao Sixing''s shield of Profound energy, but it also shattered his head, causing his soul to be completely destroyed.


    "Before entering the sect, he dared to speak out against his senior brother, so he was punished according to the rules of the Taiyu Holy Sect, and was killed on the spot."


    The black-robed disciple put away the long sword, left a light sentence, turned around and walked towards the depths of the hall.


    Lu Han was not surprised at all, and said in a low voice, "Follow up quickly, don''t be like that idiot that wanted to kill himself, as long as you don''t violate the sect rules, you''ll be fine."


    Zhao Yanran and the others were already pale.


    There were many people in the hall looking towards this place, but no one was too surprised by this. Only another black-robed disciple in the Profound realm came over, cast a water purification spell, rolled up Zhao Sixing, who had lost his life, into a ball of water and threw his corpse out of the hall.


    "The 18th Taichu Ancient City was guarded by Chen Hexuan of Great Return to the True Dao Realm. (Means late stage of the True Dao Realm)"


    The black-robed disciple murmured in a low voice, rummaging through the pile of jade talismans lined up on the table, and after a few dozen breaths did he pick up an inconspicuous jade talisman and turned his head, "Take out your special Outer Sect tokens."


    Ji Yuenian and others all took out their tokens.


    The black-robed disciple activated the jade talisman, and a green light emerged from it, which broke into dozens of fragments, and each was injected into each of the tokens.


    "The Outer Sect token you were waiting for is specially made. You can skip the steps of the normal disciple and directly list on the Outer Sect disciple. You can learn the information contained in it by injecting Profound energy into the token," the black-robed disciple said. The jade talisman hovered back to its former spot. "The distribution of the peaks is not certain, and it can also be viewed within the token."


    "Luoxia Mountains, Cicada Peak," Zhao Xiaoyun held the token in his hand and said in a low voice.


    Zhao Yanran hadn''t ignited her Heart Fire yet, so she dared to ask, "Senior brother, I haven¡¯t ignited my Heart Fire, how can I check the information contained in the token?"


    The black-robed disciple grabbed her token, paused, threw the token back, and said, "Luoxia Mountain Range, Zhen Hell Peak."


    The rest of the people who had never ignited their Heart Fire also wanted to hand over the token, but were rejected by the black-robed disciple. He pointed at Lu Han and said, "Let him check for you, don''t forget to go to the rest of the hall to collect your spiritual materials."


    After those words were finished, the black-robed disciple turned around and left.


    Ji Yuenian injected his Profound energy into the Outer Sect token, and ten small characters gradually appeared in his mind.


    Luoxia Mountains, Eclipse Moon Peak.


    After Lu Han helped them inspect the mountain peaks one by one, he said solemnly, "Everyone, work hard to cultivate in the Luoxia Mountain Range, and behave yourself. I am going to the Inner Sect''s Chaolu Mountain Range. If there is no accident, I am afraid we will not meet again in the future."


    Even though Zhao Yanran and the others were calm, they were a little flustered when they heard the words.


    Lu Han paused for a moment, then said again, "You can now go to the Hall of Spiritual Materials with the token and receive the items distributed to the new disciples."


    Everyone opened their mouths to respond. After leaving the Hall of Records, Lu Han explained some errands, and then took out the giant sword and left Service Peak.

 Ch. 39 - The Swirling Clouds and Mist

    After Lu Han left, Ji Yuenian put away the token and walked towards the Spiritual Materials'' Hall on the east side."Cousin," Zhao Xiaoyun quickly followed, "Which mountain are you on?"


    "Eclipsed Moon Peak."


    Zhao Xiaoyun''s eyes were a little dazed, and he said, "But there are hundreds of towering Dao fields in the Luoxia Mountains. How do we distinguish them?"


    Ji Yuenian glanced at him sideways, and said, ¡°Channel your Profound energy into the token and focus on the inscription within it. In your case, it is ¡°Cicada Mountain¡±, and a detailed map of Luoxia Mountain will appear in your consciousness.¡±


    Zhao Xiaoyun took out his token, and channeled his consciousness into it. He slowly opened his eyes after a few breaths, and said in surprise, ¡°It¡¯s true! So many mountain peaks are scattered like motes of light. I can see through a bird¡¯s eye view. Cicada Peak is on the eastern side of the map!¡±


    After a while, he seemed to have regained his senses and asked in doubt, "Cousin, how did you know that you can view the map of the Luoxia Mountains through the token?"


    While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the door of the main hall of the Spiritual Material Hall. The crowd here became more and more dense, and almost every moment there were Outer Sect disciples walking by themselves.


    Ji Yuenian said in a low voice, "After you got the token, did you not read the words ''Luoxia Mountain Cicada Peak Zhao Xiaoyun''? Shouldn''t you want to study it in detail? These are the matters concerning life. You are so negligent."


    Zhao Xiaoyun froze in his heart, and his face became a lot more serious. S~?a??h the ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Ji Yuenian noticed the subtle changes on his expression, nodded, and said, "This is not the ancient city of Taichu. Zhao Sixing''s tragedy should still be fresh, so you have to be careful."


    After the words were finished, he walked directly into the main hall of the Spiritual Material Hall.


    Zhao Xiaoyun stood there for a while, readjusted his mood, and stepped into the hall bustling with people.


    On the stone platform in front of the Hall of Records.


    Chu Lingyue hesitated for a moment, then said, "We should go to the Spiritual Material Hall to get what we need."


    The rest of the people responded while Zhao Yanran was in a trance, and whispered, "Why didn''t Senior Brother Lu save Zhao Sixing? He was clearly in the initial stage of True Dao Realm, but he just watched Zhao Sixing getting killed by the black-robed disciple!"


    Chu Lingyue looked at Zhao Yanran with the same eyes as if looking at a fool, and said, "Don''t you understand yet? We are just like an ant here, if it weren''t for the special token of the Outer Sect given by Hexuan Shangzhen, we could only start from the bottom as servant disciples. We might not even stand where we are right now."


    (TN:- Changing Handyman disciple to Servant disciples.)


    After saying that, he went directly to the Hall of Spiritual Materials with the rest of the group, leaving only Zhao Yanran standing in the same place.


    ¡­


    "Give me your token."


    Ji Yuenian took out the token and gave it to the gray-robed disciple in the upper realm of the Nascent Profound Realm.


    The gray-robed disciple instilled the Profound energy into the token, pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "A new disciple who has entered the sect has the cultivation base of Profound Sea Realm?"


    Ji Yuenian nodded and said, "I have cultivated since childhood."


    "That''s right, someone with a cultivation foundation like you is much stronger than those mortals who haven''t ignited their Heart Fire¡¯s yet, and can save some spirit stones in some aspects." The gray-robed disciple seemed to be very talkative, he slowly handed the token back, and turned around to find something in a huge storage bag.


    Ji Yuenian was silent, thinking about the meaning of "some aspects".


    After a few moments, the gray-robed disciple turned around and said, "For new disciples, the Service Peak Spirit Material Hall will give you a bottle of five ''Qi Gathering Pills'', five spiritual stones, and an ordinary magic weapon, and an ordinary storage bag. You can come here to receive two ''Qi Gathering Pills'' and two spiritual stones every month from now on."


    Seemingly seeing the white jade ring on Ji Yuenian''s wrist, the gray-robed disciple put the storage bag back, took out an extra piece of spiritual stone, and said, "Since you already have a storage magic weapon, you will not use this storage bag. How about I replace it with a spiritual stone for you?"


    Ji Yuenian put all these things into his White Jade Ring, and thanked him, "Thank you, senior brother."


    The gray-robed disciple shook his head, took out five spiritual stones and a bottle of five "Qi Gathering Pills" again, and said, "This is an additional reward from the Spiritual Material Hall to you since you''ve cultivated to the Profound Sea Realm.¡±


    Ji Yuenian thanked him, put away the Spirit Stone and Qi Gathering Pill, and was about to leave, but was stopped by the gray-robed disciple from behind.


    "Junior brother, why are you so impatient?"


    The gray-robed disciple unhurriedly took out three more Spirit Stones and a magic robe, and held it firmly in his hands.


    Ji Yuenian looked a little confused and said, "Senior brother, what kind of reward is this? Why don''t you hand it all out at once?"


    "I see that your token is an advance recommendation from the ancient city of Taichu. Unlike ordinary disciples who have passed the examination and entered the sect, the Spiritual Material Hall also rewards the disciples recommended by the nineteen ancient cities. Apart from these, in the future, you can receive two more Spirit Stones every month," the gray-robed added, "It''s easy to get it confused if I hand it all out at once. In this way, it stays organized and easy to record."


    Ji Yuenian took the three Spirit Stones and the magic robe, looked around, and his expression became even stranger.


    Only at this moment did he realize that the other gray-robed disciples in the Spiritual Material Hall were surrounded by more than ten disciples of the Outer Sect waiting in front of them, and only the gray-robed disciple in front of him was alone and no one cared about him.


    "Senior brother, is there anything else?"


    This time, Ji Yuenian didn''t turn around rashly, but asked one more question.


    The gray-robed disciple waved his hand and said slowly, "No more, you can go."


    Ji Yuenian breathed a sigh of relief, and walked quickly towards the door of the Spiritual Material Hall.


    Earlier, he took most of the spirit stones accumulated in the Ji family''s treasury, and there were as many as one hundred and fifty pieces in his possession. Now, including these spirit stones that he just received, there were actually a total of one hundred and sixty-four spirit stones in his White Jade Ring.


    This was a huge amount that ordinary disciples couldn''t even imagine!


    The resources granted to the Outer Sect disciples in the Luoxia Mountains were only a mere two spirit stones per month. Even the disciples recommended by the major ancient cities could only receive four spirit stones per month.


    If one wanted more spirit stones, he could only earn additional training resources by going to the Sect Affairs Hall to receive various sect quests.


    In the White Jade Ring, there was a bottle of ten "Qi Gathering Pills" from Ji''s family, plus five "Qi Gathering Pills" he just received. At this time, he already had twenty pills in his possession.


    Although the magic weapon and magic robe were only worth one or two spirit stones, they were better than nothing.


    Leaving the Spiritual Material Hall, Ji Yuenian looked at the cloudy and misty mountains, slightly startled.


    The issue of how to get down the mountain had quickly become an urgent one.


    It seemed that he was aware of Ji Yuenian''s predicament, after a while, a disciple of the Outer Sect who was poking his head leaned over with a smile on his face, and said, "This senior brother, do you need a chauffeur?"


    Ji Yuenian thought for a moment and said, "What do you mean by that?"


    The disciple smiled and said, "I looked senior brother¡¯s expression, you must be a disciple of the Outer Sect who have recently joined. If you have not cultivated to the True Dao Realm, you cannot command the flying magic weapon. If senior brother does not hire a chauffeur, how will you leave the mountain?"


    "You are only in the Initial stage of the Profound Realm, how did you become this chauffeur?"


    The disciple pointed to a huge lotus leaf with a radius of more than ten feet on the stone platform, and said, "This is a specially made flying magic weapon. Ten disciples in the initial stage of the Profound realm can jointly push it to lift it into the sky. With two spirit stones, I can send you directly to any peak within the Luoxia Mountains."


    Ordinary new disciples only received five spiritual stones. They were just rushing on their way, but they had to spend a full two spiritual stones!


    "So expensive?" Ji Yuenian frowned slightly, but did not refuse.


    Obviously, other than this method, no new disciple could go down the mountain at all.


    "Senior brother has cultivated to the Profound Sea Realm, and he can move the lotus leaf together with me, thereby speeding up the process." The disciple led Ji Yuenian to the lotus leaf, and said, "So I will only charge senior brother with a single spirit stone, and we will set off when the lotus leaf is full."


    Ji Yuenian realized the meaning behind "some aspects" the disciple in gray robes mentioned before.

 Ch. 40 - Eclipse Moon Peak

    However, within a short period of time, the lotus leaves were filled with disciples of the outer sect wearing green robes.Ji Yuenian and several other disciples who had cultivated to the Profound Sea took out a piece of spirit stone and handed it over. After the chauffeur tapped the spirit stone, he said with a smile, "Brothers and sisters, this is the spell that activates the lotus leaves. Let''s go."


    After the words fell, he took out several jade talismans and handed them to Ji Yuenian and the others. Then, he directly picked up the seal, and the mysterious light circulated around the huge lotus leaf, making it tremble ever so slightly.


    This seal formula was extremely simple. After Ji Yuenian glanced at the information contained in the jade talisman, he followed the chauffeur disciple and others to activate the magic formula. The lotus leaf finally rose slowly into the sky and escaped from Service Peak.


    "Senior brother got a lot of spirit stones from this trip, more than my annual resource share."


    A disciple who handed in two spirit stones looked envious, looking at the chauffeur at the very front of the lotus leaf.


    The chauffeur shook his head and said with a smile, "This junior brother, it seems that you are a new disciple who entered the Outer Sect ahead of time by virtue of your relationship. Although you can earn dozens of spirit stones from this trip, 95% of them have to be handed in. At most, I can only get half from the Sect Affairs Hall. What''s more ... this lotus leaf also belongs to the Sect Affairs Hall, and I have to pay five spirit stones every day to use it."


    The disciple was a little stunned when he heard the words, and said, "After all, even if you run for a whole day, senior brother can only make enough stones to fit in a bag or two?"


    The chauffeur nodded and said, "If you are busy from day to night, for a full twelve hours, you can only earn three or four spirit stones."


    The other disciple of the upper level of the Profound Realm who was helping to steer the lotus leaf sneered and said to the new disciple, "You said ''only'' just now? Don''t underestimate these chauffeur, all of them have a profound background. They are 10,000 times richer than us, you only get two spirit stones a month, and they get three or four spirit stones a day. We can''t even compare to them."


    The chauffeur looked a little embarrassed and said, "As poor as I am, how can I have any background, senior brother must be joking."


    The disciple in the upper realm of the Nascent Profound sneered and stopped talking.


    If one had not cultivated up to the Profound Sea, then it would cost him two spirit stones to ride a lotus leaf. Therefore, after many new disciples arrived at their mountain peaks, they could go to Shanwu Peak at least once every two months with two spirit stones a month. The share of resources was only enough to pay for the ride and house, and there would not be even the slightest surplus.


    Lotus leaves pierced through the clouds and mists in the mountains, stopping from time to time to drop the disciples on their respective peaks, but the speed was not very fast.


    After so many intervals, it took about half an hour before the lotus leaves reached the side of the Eclipse Moon Peak.


    "Senior brother, Eclipse Moon Peak is here." The chauffeur stopped the lotus leaf and said to Ji Yuenian.


    Ji Yuenian nodded, and took out his token and felt the light flashing on it.


    He turned around and jumped off the lotus leaf, and a mysterious air flow appeared under his feet, making him land firmly on the ground.


    "A new disciple?"


    Some lazy voices drifted over. Ji Yuenian stood firm, looked up, and the person who spoke was a young man in his twenties.


    "Yes, brother."


    The young man was sitting on the open-air jade couch for cultivation. He first got up and glanced at the many courtyards surrounded by clouds and mist on the mountainside of Eclipse Moon Peak, and then looked at Ji Yuenian and said, "Go in, choose a courtyard that is unoccupied at will."


    Ji Yuenian appeared to be confused and said, "Then what?"


    "No then," the young man sat down again, "There are only a few dozen people in the Eclipse Moon Peak, and they take turns to guard here, just to guide you new disciples."


    After saying this, he closed his eyes directly and entered cultivation.


    Ji Yuenian looked up at the majestic gate tower of Eclipse Moon Peak, and then looked at the young man who was cultivating with eyes closed below, shook his head slightly, and walked directly past the gate tower towards the courtyard behind.


    The Eclipse Moon Peak was full of vitality, and many medicinal flowers and spiritual plants were arranged neatly on both sides, making the scenery breathtaking. Each courtyard loft was extremely spacious, and there were at least ten feet away from each other.


    Ji Yuenian didn''t go to the deepest part, but found a quiet courtyard with no one, and walked straight in.


    He entered the courtyard, and a blazing white light spread from the inside. The Outer Sect token in the White Jade Ring trembled slightly, and seemed to have a very sensitive response to this radiance.


    Ji Yuenian took out the token, and the blazing white light surged towards the token frantically, and after a while, all of it encompassed the token, making a blazing white rainbow swirling on the black token.


    An inexplicable induction rose from the token. Ji Yuenian moved the token, and a thick light shield appeared outside the entire courtyard, completely isolating the outside world''s probe and profound energy.


    Walking into the courtyard, there were several mysterious lights surging on the token one after another, which were a few paragraphs of extremely important information, and it was only at this moment that the courtyard was selected. S~?a??h the N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Taiyu Holy Sect¡¯s rules.


    Ji Yuenian frowned slightly, ignored it for the time being, and turned to look at the information contained in the next piece of information.


    A brief introduction to the upper court, the middle and the lower court of Eclipse Moon Peak.


    What was recorded in it was the basic information of the three courts of Eclipse Peak and the mountain regulations of Eclipse Peak. After reading this article, Ji Yuenian''s face darkened slightly.


    Eclipse Moon Peak was not a good place. Not only did he have to hand over a spirit stone to the main hall on the peak every month, but he also had to plant and take care of the spiritual field for three days every twenty days.


    Each mountain had different minor regulations. It was not a violation of the sect rules for the peak master to collect spirit stones from the disciples who lived in the mountain, but the vast majority of the peak masters did not do this, instead they paid the disciples who took care of the spiritual and medicinal fields.


    There were also very few peak masters who treated the disciples within the mountain extremely harshly.


    Obviously, the Eclipse Moon Peak assigned to Ji Yuenian was one of them.


    Ji Yuenian suddenly thought of the look in the chauffeur¡¯s eyes just now. He must have known that Eclipse Moon Peak was such a mountain, but the distribution of the mountain was decided when the token was bound, and he couldn''t help it without authorization needed to do anything about it.


    There were several other pieces of information in the token. After reading them one by one, Ji Yuenian''s face completely sank.


    The peak master of Eclipse Moon Peak was so strict that he even privately asked the disciples who entered the peak by recommendation to retake the entrance examination in twenty days!


    If he failed the assessment, he would be expelled from the mountain and demoted to a servant disciple!

 Ch. 41 - Jiao Xiuyu

    There were four halls in the courtyard, which were divided into a refining hall, repair hall, cultivation hall and serene hall.Ji Yuenian sat on the jade couch in the serene hall, slowly put down the token in his hand, and his eyes became darker.


    The most basic practice formula of the Taiyu Holy Sect was called "Taiyu Xuanfa". This formula was not uncommon. When every foreign disciple who had been admitted to the sect would be given this technique by the peak master of the peak where he or she first entered.


    But in Eclipse Moon Peak, where Ji Yuenian was located, things were not simple. The peak master hall not only required the recommended disciples to retake the entrance examination, but he would also distribute true formula after the examination. Moreover, if he failed in the examination, there was the possibility of being relegated to become a servant disciple.


    After thinking about it for a moment, Ji Yuenian picked up the token again and looked at the more than 20 articles of Taiyu Holy Sect¡¯s rules. S?a??h the N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    "The disciples of the Outer Sect must obey the peak master''s orders within the mountain they belong to. If there is any violation, the peak master can use the recording jade talisman to record the details, and then kill them on the spot."


    Looking at the dense line of small characters in the light screen, Ji Yuenian''s brows slightly wrinkled.


    Most of the peak masters in the Luoxia Mountains were sent out by the disciples of the Six Mountains, and they had unparalleled power within the scope allowed by the clan rules.


    However, even the peak master could not act recklessly against the disciples in the mountain peak. To deal with a disciple who had entered the sect, one needed to have extremely detailed evidence. If one deliberately ordered the disciples in the peak to do some impossible task that might lead to his or her demise. As for this matter, this peak master was considered to have violated the sect rules and would be severely punished.


    It was unavoidable to re-take the assessment.


    Although Ji Yuenian didn''t think he would be demoted to a servant disciple, Eclipse Moon Peak''s behavior this time still made him faintly have the idea of ??changing peaks.


    After all, within the Eclipse Moon Peak, not only did one have to hand over a spirit stone to the main hall of the peak every month, but one also had to spend three days every 20 days to plant and take care of the spiritual fruits and flowers in the peak, which was really a little nerve wrecking.


    He was rich in terms of spirit stones. If an ordinary disciple came here, his monthly resource share was only two spirit stones, and then he would hand over one spirit stone to the main hall of the peak. So, it might be impossible for anyone to refine their Profound Sea even in their lifetime.


    "If you can rank among the top in the assessment of hundreds of thousands of people, there is a great possibility that a certain peak master will take a fancy to them and bring them directly into the mountain peak."


    Ji Yuenian put away the token, and he had already made up his mind.


    The entrance examination of Taiyu Holy Sect took place every 50 years, and it targeted countless creatures in the nineteen ancient cities and thirteen ordinary mountain ranges under its rule, whether they were humans, demons, spirits, monsters, etc. As long as you grow up in the territory under the rule of the Taiyu Holy Sect, you could participate in the sect admission assessment.


    Every time the Outer Sect of the Taiyu Holy Sect opened its gate, countless creatures would come to participate in the assessment. The first few layers of assessment and screening were not difficult, even if they could only become one of the hundreds of thousands of normal disciples in the end. It was not that they had no chance of igniting their Heart Fires.


    Even low-status servant disciples would be given the first three chapters of "Taiyu Xuanfa". Once there were people who ignited their Heart Fire, they would be directly assigned to the mountain by the Hall of Records and officially listed in the Outer Sect.


    Among them, there were also many souls who had already ignited their Heart Fire before participating in the assessment. Such creatures would generally be shining stars during the assessment, and compete with many people who had ignited their Heart Fires to compete for the most advanced position in this sect entrance assessment.


    A mysterious light flickered from the token.


    Ji Yuenian''s eyes moved slightly, he took the token, got off the jade couch and walked out of the courtyard.


    There was someone outside the courtyard who activated the token.


    After removing the condensed light shield that shrouded the courtyard, there were indeed two disciples standing on the edge of the courtyard.


    One of them was holding a token of the Outer Sect. It was obvious that he was the one who activated the induction of the courtyard''s light shield.


    "This junior brother is a new a disciple of Eclipse Moon Peak?"


    The man put away the token, with a fake smile on his face, and started the conversation with Ji Yuenian first.


    Ji Yuenian nodded lightly, seeing that the two were just standing on the edge of the courtyard but did not dare to come in, he understood what it meant.


    The courtyard where each disciple was located was a very private place. If someone broke into the courtyard of other disciples without consent, then with the permission of the sect rules, this disciple had the right to directly urge the token to use the forbidden array in the courtyard. The offender would be killed directly.


    "I request junior brother to take out a piece of spiritual stone, and I will help you go to the top of the Eclipse Moon Peak and hand it over to the main hall of the peak."


    There was a little azure radiance in Ji Yuenian''s eyes, but he didn''t respond.


    The other person frowned and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Li, today is the end of the month, and a piece of spirit stone from next month will be collected together, a total of two pieces."


    The disciple surnamed Li coughed lightly and said, "Ah ... Yes, junior brother, you take out two spirit stones and give them to me, and Xu Yan and I will help you deliver them to the peak master''s hall."


    "Do you think I''m so stupid that I can''t walk?" Ji Yuenian''s eyes were a little playful, "If I really take out two spirit stones and hand them over to you, I wonder if senior brother will hand them over to the main hall of the peak, or will he and this person named Xu Yan swallow them alone privately?"


    Disciple surnamed Li glared at Xu Yan, turned his head towards Ji Yuenian and said, "Junior brother misunderstood, I am the deacon of the main hall of the peak, and I came here to collect the spiritual stone on behalf of the main hall of the peak, and I have no intention of selfishly swallowing it."


    "Do you have proof?" Ji Yue said in a chilly voice.


    The disciple surnamed Li took out a white jade token that was completely different from the token of the Outer Sect. The word "Eclipse Moon" was engraved on the front of the token.


    "Am I still going to lie to you?" The disciple surnamed Li said with a dry smile.


    Ji Yuenian looked at the small token with a thoughtful look in his eyes.


    "Li Zhao, are you two tricking the new disciple again?"


    Undisguised sarcasm greeted his ears, and a white-robed young man walked over and smiled at Ji Yuenian, "That''s not the deacon token of the Peak Lord''s Hall, it''s just the ordinary disciple token of Eclipse Moon Peak. If you truly join the Eclipse Moon Peak through the entrance examination, you will also have such a token."


    Li Zhao''s complexion changed to a myriad of expressions, and he said angrily, "Jiao Xiuyu, are you mentally ill? What''s wrong with me talking to this junior brother here?"


    It was only at this time that Ji Yuenian noticed that Jiao Xiuyu had a single horn about half a foot long on his forehead.


    He was a demon.


    Taiyu Sect was all-encompassing, and monster disciples were not an unusual sight.


    Ji Yuenian was only a little surprised for a moment before he wore his calm face again.


    "The new disciples are already poor, and you are so shamelessly coaxing spirit stones from them. How he will cultivate in the future?" Jiao Xiuyu said lightly, "Eclipse Moon Peak is quite infamous outside, some reason lies upon the main hall of the peak. Part of it is because of worms like you."


    Seeing that they could no longer earn spirit stones, Li Zhao and Xu Yan snorted coldly, glanced at Jiao Xiuyu angrily, turned and left.


    "Junior Brother, won''t you invite me in to sit down?"


    Jiao Xiuyu''s eyes were somewhat inexplicable.


    If it wasn''t for someone who was extremely close, one wouldn''t easily enter the courtyard of other disciples. When Jiao Xiuyu asked, Ji Yuenian was slightly startled.


    "Please."

 Ch. 42 - Making Tea

    Ji Yuenian led Jiao Xiuyu into the attic, after taking a seat in the quiet Hall, he said, "I haven¡¯t been here long, there was no tea or wine, and made a joke in front of my senior brother to laugh."Jiao Xiu Yu waved his hand and said, "No problem, I do have a pot of Ju Ling (spirit gathering) tea here. You can have a taste."


    With that he took out a small antique copper pot from the storage ring on his finger, and instantly a faint tea aroma drifted out from it.


    "Gather the water, and control the fire."


    A crystal blue ball of water coalesced over the copper pot, while a flame ignited at the tip of Jiao Xiuyu''s finger, and within minutes the water ball began to boil.


    As the boiling water inoculated into the small bronze jug, the refreshing aroma of spiritual tea quickly spread out and filled the entire room in an instant.


    Jiao Xiuyu took out two more small tea cups and said with a smile, "Junior Brother, please."


    The Ju Ling tea could strengthen the Xuan Sea and enhance the depth of Xuan energy. A small pot of tea was worth about ten primeval stones.


    Although Ji Yuenian did not know the actual price of this tea, but he could vaguely guess its value, so he accepted the empty tea cup but instead of taking the tea directly, he put it gently on the table and said: "I¡¯m not familiar with senior brother, so I''m a little flattered that you took out such a precious tea to treat me."


    Jiao Xiuyu looked a little surprised and said with a smile: "Junior brother is joking? You and I are both rare demon spirits, so we should watch out for each other in this Luoxia Mountain Range, and that''s why I helped you out."


    It was only then that Ji Yuenian realized that Jiao Xiuyu in front of him had regarded himself as a demon spirit, and that''s why he showed such affinity.


    "Senior Brother Jiao, you misunderstood this matter. I''m not a demon spirit or something."


    Hearing this Jiao Xiuyu was stunned, his eyes were a bit suspicious, he once again looked at Ji Yuenian carefully, his tone was even more certain: "Junior brother, don''t make fun of me, you have a rich and incomparable aura of mountain ghost spirit source in you, although mountain ghosts are called ghosts, they are actually a kind of spiritual creature born out of heaven and earth, completely different from normal ghosts, and can be considered as a kind of demon spirit."


    Mountain ghosts, ghosts, and spirits in the abyss, were born in the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas where the Yin Qi was nourished, they liked to eat people, animals, demons, and spirits, and mostly females.


    Ji Yuenian just remembered that in the depths of his soul, there was still a part of the mountain ghost origin that had not been consumed and transmuted. The mountain ghost was at the cultivation level of the upper stage of True Dao Realm, and its yin energy was extremely strong, so it couldn''t be absorbed overnight. S?a?ch* Th? N?velF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Thinking of this, just as Ji Yuenian was about to open his mouth, Jiao Xiuyu on the other side asked again, "How did younger brother escape from the place of transformation? As far as I know, mountain ghosts of this kind, if they don''t have any amazing fortune, they can only be trapped in the place of transformation for the rest of their life, and they cannot leave at all."


    "It''s a long story."


    Ji Yuenian shook his head and did not explain further, he was new here, so it was better to speak less than add things that¡¯ll possibly trouble him later.¡±


    Taichu was filled with divine power of God of the Taichu Lands, so the mountain ghost''s yin power which precipitated within his soul, couldn¡¯t reveal a trace within its territory.


    Although Luoxia Mountain range was vast and expansive, there was no presence of God of heaven and earth in it, so the aura of mountain ghost''s origin in the depths of Ji Yuenian''s soul was revealed, the demon spirits were extremely sensitive to this kind of aura, which was like a firefly in the dark night.


    Jiao Xiuyu nodded, and no longer asked about the matter, but instructed him: "Junior brother lives here, you must be more careful. The disciples in the (Chiyue Feng/Eclipse Moon Peak) Atrium have all left over the years and those who stayed are deceitful and unscrupulous, and they like to harm ignorant new disciples the most. Just remember one thing, that no matter what happens, no one can do anything to you as long as you don''t step out of the courtyard."


    After saying this, he took the small bronze pot, which was filled with tea and poured the Ju Ling tea into both cups.


    Ji Yuenian took over the teacup and thanked him: "I''ve troubled you senior brother."


    "No problem. When I first entered the Eclipsed Moon Peak a few years ago, I was also ignorant and bullied. It was a wolf demon senior brother from the upper realm who protected me, so I didn''t die in the sect mission." Jiao Xiuyu''s mood seemed to be a little depressed, "Junior brother, is preparing for the sect examination. This is a tradition that has been continued for countless years at Eclipse Moon Peak. Even if the Lord of Luoxia Mountain interferes, it cannot be changed.¡±


    After these words, Jiao Xiuyu put away the copper pot and the tea cup he had just used, and after saying the goodbye to Ji Yuenian he left the courtyard.


    After Ji Yuenian had sent him out, he returned to the quiet hall and sat down. He picked up a cup of spirit tea and took a sip of it, but his mind was full of thoughts about what Jiao Xiuyu had said.


    The Eclipse Moon Peak was just one of the hundreds of peaks in the Luoxia Mountain Range, and there was nothing special about it, but it had such a strange tradition.


    If what Jiao Xiuyu said was correct, and the strict regulations of the Eclipsed Moon Peak could not be changed even by the "Lord of the Luoxia Mountain", then this matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed.


    Within the Luoxia Mountains range, there was a Lord and two, vice Lords, who were responsible for controlling the hundreds of peaks in the Taiyu Holy Sect outside the Luoxia Mountains range.


    The Luoxia Mountain Lord also came from the Six Mountains and Three Realms of the Taiyu Holy Sect, and at least has the supreme cultivation of the Divine Sea Realm. So how come he was not able to interfere with a mere Eclipse Moon Peak?


    Unless the master of the Eclipse Moon Peak had something special that was not known compared to the other mountain peak masters.


    Ji Yuenian''s thoughts flowed, and he muttered to himself: "If the Luoxia Mountain Lord can make concessions, there is only one possibility left, which is the Peak Master of the Eclipse Moon Peak has long surpassed the other ordinary Peak Lords in the Realm of Return to the Truth, and he is at the Divine Sea Realm!¡±

 Ch. 43 - Adding Incense

    After pondering about it for a while, Ji Yuenian changed into the sky-blue talisman robe, which he had received from Lingcai (Spiritual Materials) Hall, and once again stepped out of the attic courtyard, discerned the direction, and headed along the steep mountain path towards the upper court of the Eclipsed Moon Peak.According to the Eclipsed Moon Peak¡¯s rule, after selecting a courtyard, the new disciples must have to go to the main mountain hall within a day to receive the necessary items. S?a?ch* Th? Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    On both sides of the mountain path were dense plantings of Clear Blue Flower and Spiritual Grass, which gathered extremely rich heaven and earth energy on the mountain path, which had a calming effect on the people¡¯s mind and spirit.


    The Eclipsed Moon Peak was over 1,000 feet (ca. 305 meters) high, and the place where the upper court was located was 400 feet (ca. 122 meters) higher than the atrium. Although this mountain path was called a road, in reality, it was a simple path paved with large rocks. In case the mortal disciple who had not ignited his Heart Fire who walked this mountain road, he would be in danger of falling down the mountain and breaking his bones every moment.


    The Profound Sea in Ji Yuenian trembled slightly, and Zhan Qing''s(deep blue) mysterious air flowed out, and each of which could travel several meters away.


    After walking for a while, several gorgeous courtyards with carved beams and painted buildings appeared before him. Under the cover of clouds and mist, with a strange fragrance, which was quite mysterious.


    On the sideways of the mountain path, countless huge peaks stood amidst a sea of tumbling snow-white clouds, as if in a fairyland. Although it was already at the highest point, it was still not the upper court of Eclipsed Moon Peak.


    Ji Yuenian continued to climb the stone path after walking through the courtyards along the edge of the mountain road.


    Just as he passed a few steps, a soft voice came to his ears from behind: "Junior Brother, come and rest for a while."


    His gaze moved slightly, halting on the track, he turned his head to the source of the voice.


    Outside one of the exquisite courtyards stood a pretty girl in a pink gauze dress, looking at him with a smile.


    Recalling the information contained in the brief transcript of Eclipsed Moon Peak, Ji Yuenian already knew in his heart who this woman was.


    The Tianxiang Pavilion on Eclipse Moon Peak was located ?in between the atrium and the upper court. There were seven female disciples living here for a long time, and they offered people to play with in exchange for spirit stones.


    Of course, these "senior sisters" were extremely beautiful in the form of young girls, and had a certain charm. Even the disciples from other mountain peaks often came to visit them.


    Ji Yuanian shook his head, and without saying a word, turned his head toward the mountain road.


    "Junior Brother, stop!"


    Seeing that Ji Yuenian was about to leave, the beautiful girl in the pink gauze skirt said in a hurry, "I think you seem to be a new disciple of Eclipse Moon Peak. Senior Sister will not ask your spirit stone this time, how about it?"


    As if Ji Yuenian didn''t hear it, Zhan Qing''s mysterious energy surrounded his body, and within a minute, he disappeared on the misty mountain road.


    The girl stomped her feet fiercely, and said bitterly, "What a pity!"


    "It is indeed a pity," another nonchalant girl in black came out behind her, looking at the direction where Ji Yuenian disappeared, "This junior brother was born so handsome, if he lets me take him to paradise on the couch, I am willing to subsidize the spirit stone."


    Boom!


    A dazzling light shone through the clouds and mist outside the mountain, and landed in front of the attic of Tianxiang Pavilion.


    After the light disappeared, a man in black robe without a word of nonsense threw two spirit stones at the cold-looking girl in black and directly hugged her waist and walked towards the edge of the building.


    ¡ª


    Eclipsed Moon Peak, Upper Court.


    Nearly a hundred courtyard attics were lined up, forming a mysterious and unparalleled array on top of the peak. At its center were three magnificent halls, located at the very top of the Eclipsed Moon Peak, without anything present to support.


    Ji Yuenian walked along the mountain path to the upper court, slowly walking through these distinctive courtyards, which were very far from the atrium''s courtyard, attracting a lot of inquisitive eyes along the way.


    There were few new disciples on the Eclipsed Moon Peak, except for those who were forcibly assigned by Hall of Records, almost no one would choose a mountain peak that requires a monthly subsidy of spirit stones, so Ji Yuenian''s arrival attracted the attention of some disciples in the peak.


    A disciple of the upper Xuan [Profound] realm came out of the courtyard and stopped Ji Yuenian, his gaze was somewhat playful: "Is junior brother going to the main hall of the peak?"


    Ji Yuenian looked around, and many disciples in the surrounding courtyard were all looking at his side.


    "Yes, I am new to the atrium of Eclipse Moon Peak, and I''m going to the main hall of the peak to collect the necessary materials."


    The upper Xuan realm disciple shook his head and said, "Junior Brother, I advise you not to go, apart from when you have to go to the peak master¡¯s hall to pay a spirit stone every month, don¡¯t go for the rest of the time."


    Ji Yuenian thought for a moment and asked, "What do you mean by that, senior brother?"


    "Nothing, I''ve already said what I should say, that''s all." That disciple smiled, then directly returned to his courtyard, after opening a protective light shield.

 Ch. 44 - The Strange White Jade Token

    At the top of the upper court stood three magnificent halls, the highest of which was several tens of feet high, and the hall''s tall door opened, but looking inside, only endless darkness could only be seen."The Hall of the Eclipsed Moon Peak."


    Ji Yuenian walked under the palace door, looking up at the plaque on the palace door, he had some hesitation.


    The darkness in this hall reeked an extremely dangerous aura, and he had a hunch that if he hastily entered the Eclipsed Moon Hall, he would most likely suffer a fatal attack!


    Hiss!


    A piercing scream came from the hall, and the darkness parted a little along with a strange force coming out of thin air behind Ji Yuenian, which pushed him straight into the Eclipsed Moon Hall!


    Amid the light and shadow, Ji Yuenian cracked his eyes slightly, and what came into his sight was a floating platform as smooth as a mirror. The platform was about a hundred feet in circumference, surrounded by a sea of billowing clouds.


    Amid the white clouds and mist, over thirty pitch-black chains with a thickness of half a foot spread through, eventually converging in the middle of the platform, locking a ferocious ghost several meters tall in place. S?a??h th? N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    What was even more frightening was that this form was not the phantom of this ghost, but its real body.


    If it were to take on a ghostly form, it would be comparable to at least a slightly smaller mountain!


    "You''ve been dragging your feet for a long time. What are you staring at in front of the temple?"


    The ghost had six heads of different shapes, and the scarlet head on the far left trembled slightly, with a very lazy tone.


    The other five heads had their eyes closed tightly, as if they were dead and unresponsive.


    After being stunned for a moment, he came back to his senses and tentatively opened his mouth, "Lord Peak Master?"


    The scarlet head shook his head and said. "The Lord of the Eclipsed Moon Peak is so high and mighty that he won¡¯t come to the Eclipsed Moon Peak even once in a few hundred years, and the Eclipsed Moon Peak does not have a vice lord, so I have been exercising the responsibilities of the peak lord all these years."


    Ji Yuenian took out the Outer Sect token from inside the White Jade Ring, and after a brief hesitation, he placed it on the side of the enormous ghost body and said. "I want to go to the peak main hall and take part in the entrance examination shortly thereafter."


    The ghost¡¯s dozens of paws wobble slightly and one of which grabbed the token from a distance, and a dark light entered it, a moment later it returned the token to him: "Well, you can directly take part in the entrance examination with an exarchal token, and if you can pass, the Eclipsed Moon Peak will give you the official mountain peak White Jade Token."


    Ji Yuenian said, "Thank you, but how can I get out of this hall?"


    The platform was surrounded by a sea of white clouds, it was obviously in another dimension, with his current cultivation level he couldn¡¯t leave it alone.


    Hearing his question, a wicked smile appeared on the scarlet head and said mischievously. "Unless I do it myself, you will never get out of the Eclipsed Moon Hall."


    Ji Yuenian had long been accustomed to the eccentricities in this Eclipsed Moon Peak, so at this time he wasn''t too surprised, just raised his head and asked. "Then how can you send me away from here?"


    The scarlet head saw that Ji Yuenian looked calm and did not have any slightest fear on his face, so feeling a little bored, it stretched out a ghostly claw and pointed to the chain underneath him and said. "Take out a spirit stone and decompose it on the chain, it can melt a little."


    "Is it true that all disciple have to pay a price of one spirit stone to enter the Eclipsed Moon Hall once?¡±


    The ghost nodded and said: "There is no vitality of heaven and earth in this space. The Lord of Eclipsed Moon Peak used a specially refined virtual spirit lock chain to imprison me here. Only the heaven and earth vitality generated by the decomposition of the spirit stone can slowly dispel the chain. "


    Looking again at the dozens of densely packed thick chains, Ji Yuenian said in a tone of surprise: "So many chains, if all of them were to be dissolved using the method of decomposing spirit stone, it would take at least one vein of spirit ore."


    With that, he directly took out a spirit stone and walked forward, placed it on top of one chain at random and guided his Xuan Qi to melt it down slowly.


    The rich energy of heaven and earth permeated the surroundings, but at the next moment, it was all absorbed by the thick black chains.


    When he looked down, the chain became a little thinner, but for a chain half a foot thick, it was just a drop in the bucket.


    What''s more, there were more than 30 black chains like this, even if one really moved a spirit stone vein, it may not ?break down all these virtual spirit chains.


    "There is one more piece," the ghost''s scarlet head shook slightly. "You are a new disciple, and you need to hand over a spirit stone to the peak main hall every month."


    "The piece just now, doesn¡¯t that count?"


    "No," the ghost''s hideous face became more and more ugly, "the piece just now is used to help you hide the assessment information in the external token."


    Instead of arguing with it, Ji Yuenian once again took out another stone and disassembled it on the chain just like the way before.


    This ghostly creature wasn¡¯t only aiming at him, those upper court disciples were terrified of the Eclipsed Moon Peak as a tiger, which was enough to show that it treated all the Eclipsed Moon Peak disciples the same way.


    Looking at those disciples'' actions to avoid the main hall, maybe this ghost was very likely to directly ingest the disciples who pass through the palace into the hall, and forcibly demand a spirit stone before sending them out, which is really shameless.


    The two spirit stones completely dissipated into powder, the ghost''s claws gently swayed, a small storage bag appeared in front of Ji Yuenian, and a blazing white vortex light gate appeared, the size was big enough to accommodate one person.


    Ji Yuenian took the storage bag and looked inside. There was a bottle of five Qi Gathering Pills, as well as a jade talisman that recorded some information, all of them were arranged neatly in it.


    "Eclipsed Moon Peak is different from the rest of the peaks, and true cultivation technique will only be given after passing the assessment. These medicinal pills and jade talismans are the compensation for the disciples in the peak." The ghost''s voice came from above.


    Ji Yuenian picked up the jade talisman and probed into it, and after a few breaths, his eyes sank slightly.


    After being silent for a while, he took out eleven spirit stones and said, "I''ll give you these spirit stones in advance. I won''t come back to the peak main hall for a year."


    For the first time, the ghost''s eyes changed noticeably, and his scarlet head swayed, as he asked in a hoarse voice, "A mere new disciple, how can you be so rich?"


    "Why, isn''t it okay to hand the spirit stones in advance?" As he asked, he threw the eleven spirit stones to the distance, and a deep blue and dark spirit swept up next to them, decomposing them all on the ghosts'' chains.


    "Nothing is impossible," the ghost took a deep look at Ji Yuenian, it moved its claws slightly, and once again condensed a storage bag, "You can take this too, if you pass the test, I will directly let someone send you the Eclipse Moon Peak identity jade plate."


    Ji Yuenian put away these things, and after saying the thanks once again he turned around and stepped into the Vortex Light Gate.


    The information recorded in the jade talisman was extremely severe ; once the disciple was assigned to the Eclipsed Moon Peak, it was impossible to change the peak. After passing the examination, the disciples could be officially recorded into the Eclipsed Moon Peak, but those who did not pass could only be expelled from the Eclipsed Moon Peak or remain in the lower court as normal disciples, with almost no chance of turning over a new leaf.


    The only way to enter the Eclipsed Moon Peak was to break into the True Dao Realm, other than going to other peaks as a normal disciple after failing the examination. Most of the disciples in the atrium left through this method and the number of new disciples was getting smaller and smaller, creating a situation where there were only a few hundred people on the entire Eclipsed Moon Peak today.


    The other peaks in the Luoxia Mountains had at least hundreds of Outer Sect disciples and thousands of normal disciples. Only the Eclipsed Moon Peak had fewer and fewer disciples, the Outer sect only had a few dozen disciples within the three courts, and even the normal disciples were only a few hundred.


    Almost all the normal disciples lived in the lower court of the Eclipsed Moon Peak.


    These people didn¡¯t have to pay a monthly spirit stone at all, so Ji Yuenian had never seen any of the normal disciples.


    After exiting the Vortex Light Gate, the scene in front of him was somewhat familiar.


    After looking around for a while, he realized that he had reached the atrium of the Eclipsed Moon Peak and that just a few feet away was his own courtyard loft.


    The courtyards in the atrium were sparse and still as quiet as before.


    As he walked into the attic, he activated the token, closed the solid mask that protected the courtyard, and took out the jade talisman and two storage bags on the table in the quiet hall.


    One of the storage bags contained five Qi Gathering Pills, and the jade talisman contained some detailed information about the Eclipsed Moon Peak, which was after entering the peak, one couldn¡¯t change the peak at will, which he already knew from the jade talisman.


    Taking another storage bag, he took out a small white jade talisman in it, with six small characters "Eclipse Moon Peak''s main hall" engraved on it.


    What is the purpose of the ghost giving this talisman to himself? Ji Yuenian recalled the ghost''s gaze. At that time, it seemed to have thrown out the last storage bag ?casually, but this token ... he suddenly remembered the time when Li Zhao and Xu Yan had deceived him with the white jade token.


    The white jade token was engraved with the word "Eclipse Moon", which should have been an ordinary identity token for the Outer Court disciples of the Eclipsed Moon Peak, but at that time it was bullshitted by Li Zhao as the token of the Peak Master Hall, which showed that such a token does exist in the Peak Master Hall.


    The "Eclipsed Moon Peak Master Hall" token in his hand was most likely the token of the Peak Master Hall that Li Zhaoge was talking about, and after seeing that he seemed to be quite wealthy, the ghostly creature threw out this token directly, seemingly with some unknown intention.

 Ch. 45 - Climbing the Clouds

    Eclipsed Moon Peak, Atrium.The solid light shield gradually dissipated, and Ji Yuenian, dressed in a blue robe, strolled out from the attic and arched his hand towards Jiao Xiuyu outside the courtyard, saying, "Brother Jiao."


    Jiao Xiuyu nodded, looked at the still gray sky, and asked, "How have you been preparing for these days? With your cultivation of Xuan Qi, it should not be difficult for you to pass the test, but if you want to be at the top of hundreds of thousands of lives, it will be a hurdle."


    Ji Yuenian had an inexplicable look in his eyes, and said, "Although I can''t leave the Eclipsed Moon Peak even if I stand out in the examination, I am quite interested in the reward of the final assessment ranking."


    A few days ago, Jiao Xiuyu had sent him a jade talisman, which contained extremely detailed information about the four levels of the examination and the rewards for outstanding new disciples.


    The first level was checking the activity level of the Heart Fire, which wasn¡¯t difficult, if the Heart Fire was more sensitive to Xuan Qi before it had been ignited, then it would be relatively easy to ignite the fire after that, so this first level is over.


    If the Heart Fire had been ignited before the test and the person also had the Xuan Qi cultivation in the body, then he would be selected as a normal disciple in the Luoxia Mountains even if he had failed the rest of the tests.


    The second level was based on bloodlines.


    If it was the extremely rare and precious demon bloodline, the descendants of spiritual things, and the living beings that have heaven and earth nurtured spirits, then there was a great possibility that they would become enlightened in the future, so this kind of heterogeneity would be classified as top class.


    While ordinary demons, humans, spirits, monsters and other categories were uniformly classified as middle-class, and the worst of the lower-class was the mixed bloodline and grass and wood demon spirit streams with extremely low cultivation limits.


    This hurdle was to identify outstanding disciples in advance, and it''s not too harsh, as long as they were not in the lower class, they could be passed.


    The third hurdle was Cloud Climbing Stone Steps, which was extremely strange and mysterious. The stone steps had ?9,999 steps a great ancestor in the Taiyu Sect made it. Usually these treasures were kept in the Luoyin second mountain range, and would only be taken to the Luoxia Mountain Range for examination when the Outer Sect recruited disciples.


    This climbing stone stairs were related to the mind, enlightenment, and the soul, and so on. The information that could be found was extremely complex. In some ways, the farther the one walked on this stone staircase, the more potential they would have on the path of cultivation.


    If a living soul could walk past the 120th step, then they would be ranked as a normal disciple. This hurdle would screen out most spirits and eliminate the chance to enter the Taiyu Saint Sect.


    If one could pass through 220 steps, then the Hall of Records would assign that person belonging to the mountain peak, and they would be directly listed among the disciples of the Outer sect.


    If they walk through the 270 steps within the examination, it meant that the person had terrifying cultivation potential and would be competed by hundreds of mountain peak masters in the Luoxia Mountain Range!


    During the last entrance examination, there was a human boy who walked through 275 steps with a mortal body. For a while it was all over the place, and finally he was accepted by Yuan Xing Peak, fourth-ranked mountain peak in the Luoxia Mountains and was celebrated by many disciples.


    They had never assigned the disciples to the top ten peaks in the Outer Sect, only these peaks would choose their disciples. Therefore, if they could be valued by the top-ranked peak masters in the assessment, they could describe the future path of cultivation as a smooth road.


    The Cloud Climbing Stone Steps would nearly cut off the cultivation path of 80% of the potentiates within the test. If you couldn''t even walk the 120 stone steps, then the person would not even be qualified to remain as a miscellaneous disciple.


    The fourth hurdle was an uncomplicated illusion.


    The only purpose of this illusion was to test the disciple''s true attitude towards the sect rules and the sect.


    In the illusion, the memory of disciples who take part in the assessment would be erased temporarily, and they would be placed in a specific scene, with a pre-set memory in them.


    Jiao Xiuyu explained this fourth level ?to Ji Yuenian in detail before. Although the scenes in it were different, most of them were related to the Taiyu Saint Sect, and as long as one silently remembered to put the interests of the clan first and abide by the clan''s rules, this level could be passed ?easily.


    Although memories were erased temporarily after entering the illusion, there was also possible to have some effect on the illusion if you constantly gave yourself a hint before taking the test.


    After passing these four levels, one would pass the entrance examination and truly become a disciple of the Taiyu Saint Sect.


    But for Ji Yuenian, he had to pass at least 220 steps in the third level to be considered as passing the assessment.


    Even if he passed the examination for the Outer Sect of the Taiyu Saint Sect, but couldn¡¯t manage to climb 220 steps, then he would only end up with a position as a normal disciple, which would have been the same as a failure in the Eclipsed Moon Peak.


    Only after directly walking through the 220th step, having the qualification to be listed as a disciple of the Outer Sect, could one continue to stay in the Eclipsed Moon Peak.


    After the four levels of screening, the Hall of Clan Affairs at Mountain Service Peak would rearrange the rankings of the four levels and eventually, a complete ranking of the entrance examination will be obtained!


    The Luoxia Mountain Range''s reward for the new student was also granted according to the final entrance examination ranking. Among which few things in the front rank were extremely valuable, which was enough to make the new student soar into the sky!


    "Junior Brother Ji, it''s not yet dawn, there is still about an hour before the dawn assessment, but the Eclipsed Moon Peak is quite far from the Luoxia Mountain, so I will take you there in advance."


    Jiao Xiuyu saw that there was no panic on Ji Yuenian''s face, and his heart was a little relieved.


    This younger brother Ji has the cultivation of Xuan Sea [Profound Sea], at least he would be listed as a normal disciple. The key to his participation in the assessment was mainly climbing the Cloud Climbing Stone Steps of the third level. At this time, no matter how worried he may be, it was useless.

    "Then I''ll be grateful to Brother Jiao," Ji Yuenian took the Outer Sect token and closed the courtyard behind him. "In this way, wouldn''t it save you a few more spirit stones? "


    Jiao Xiuyu smiled, and a bright silver light gradually filled his body, wrapping his entire body like a silver-white ponytail.


    After a few breaths, the brilliance dissipated, and Jiao Xiuyu had turned into a silver-white dragon about several meters long. With a low roar, he grabbed Ji Yuenian''s right arm sleeve robe with one claw, and rose straight up, heading towards the Luoxia Mountain range at the very edge of the Luoxia Mountains, pierced through the clouds and breaking through the fog.


    Although he could not use the flying magic weapon in the Nascent Profound Upper Realm, but Jiao Xiuyu''s body was a spiritual dragon, and he was born with the ability to fly, and he had no idea how many stones he had saved before returning to the realm of truth.


    There were several figures in the atrium looking at Jiao Xiuyu who was far away, and there were voices of discussion.


    "Jiao Xiuyu is protecting the new monsters again."


    "Yes, I didn''t realize that Ji Yuenian was a mountain ghost, but these days I saw him very close to Jiao Xiuyu, and only after inquiring with Li Zhao and Xu Yan did I find out about it."


    "Jiao Xiuyu has been like this over the years, but the Taiyu Ancient Sect is a human-oriented sect, after all, there was nothing to blame for the fact that they had volunteered to keep warm."


    "Do you still remember the fox demon woman who came to the Eclipsed Moon Peak decades ago?"


    "Of course, I remember that Jiao Xiuyu fell on her head. Even after learning such a lesson from the past, this dragon spirit still takes the initiative to help the new monsters. There must be some problems with his mind."


    ¡°The spirit dragon is always a spirit dragon, and is barely classified as a medium mixed bloodline. In my opinion, he is not as promising as a pure-blooded snake monster."


    "Forget about it, let¡¯s not talk about them, let¡¯s go to Mountain Peak quickly and choose some quest, and if you don''t do some sect quests, you will lose a piece of spirit stone."

 Ch. 46 - Chaoxia

    The Luoxia Training Hall was located in the extreme west of the Luoxia Mountains, at the foot of the Tong Ming Peak. At this time, the Training Hall was booming with people; nearly 200,000 souls gathered from the nineteen ancient cities and many mountain ranges under the Taiyu Saint Sect to take part in the entrance examination.The Imperial Court didn¡¯t expect much from the examiners, as long as they were in the Luoxia Hall before the examination and were under the age of 20, they could take part in the entrance examination along with the rest of the living.


    Jiao Xiuyu led Ji Yuenian to the door of the training hall, and when the silver light lingered, he reappeared in human form and said, "Junior Brother Ji, you have been officially listed as an Outer Disciple, but due to the special rules of the Eclipsed Moon Peak, you have to take the entrance examination again. Now, you need to go to the Chaoxia Hall (Imperial Palace Hall) with your Outer Sect token for another examination."


    Ji Yuenian looked at the bustling crowd in the Luoxia Hall and asked, "Is the Chaoxia Hall inside the training hall?"


    "Yes," Jiao Xiuyu pointed towards the far end of the hall, "After entering the Luoxia training hall, go straight along with the hanging stone platform, and then you will reach the Chaoxia Hall at the end of the training hall. If you don''t go and provide another explanation, and once they discover you as a disciple of the Outer Sect, you may be judged as intentionally disrupting the entrance examination and be punished for violating sect rules."


    "Thank you, Senior Brother Jiao."


    After thanking him, Ji Yuenian went straight to Luoxia training hall with the outer sect token.


    The ghosts in the Eclipsed Moon Peak Hall had already left a message on his Outer Sect token, so all he had to do was go to the Chaoxia Hall and tell them about it, and then he could take part in the entrance examination normally with the rest of the spirits.


    The door of the Luoxia training hall was wide open, and there were over ten stone steps with a width of several meters from the training hall to the edge of the Tong Ming Peak, making it extremely easy for ordinary people to enter the training hall.


    Walking on the leftmost stone steps, Ji Yuenian looked around the flock of people, his heart pondering.


    Among those who came to take part in the examination, there were quite a few ordinary people whose faces were full of very strong hope, their eyes full of longing.


    If they could pass the entrance examination, even if only listed as a mere normal disciple it was enough for these mortals.


    Although the normal disciples did not receive two spirit stones per month like the Outer Sect disciples, if they were smart, sensible, and diligent, they could also receive a lot of gold and silver vulgar items every month, which was enough for them to become a nobleman and escape the fate of generations of poverty after they leave the sect. s?a??h th? ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    After following the stone staircase into the Luoxia training hall, Ji Yuenian could feel the grandeur of this portal.


    What came into his sight were, nine massive and unparalleled suspended stone platforms, with dense stone steps interspersed among them, all these stone platforms were connected to each other, and nearly 200,000 living beings were scattered on these nine stone platforms, but they did not appear to be crowded at all, and there were even a lot of open spaces among them.


    At this moment, it was the dawn, the rising sun dyed the sky a blazing red color, and the golden-red sunlight fell down on the world, adding a magnificent color between heaven and the earth.


    "Chaoxia Hall."


    Ji Yuenian was now on the far left of the expansive stone platform. He raised his eyes and looked into the depths of the training hall, and saw a towering palace with a height of dozens of feet in the palace pavilions behind the nine stone platforms, with a plaque engraved with the word "Chaoxia".


    After walking for about a stick of incense, he reached the end of this stone platform, where there were two suspended stone steps connecting with the many palaces in the depths of the dojo, and if one wanted to go to the Chaoxia Hall, these two stone steps were the only way to go.


    Bang!


    The sound of a bell that shook heaven and earth rippled out from the roof of the Chaoxia Hall, and several dazzling mysterious lights traversed the sky, reaching the sky above the nine stone platforms.


    The uproar gradually subsided, and more than 100,000 people looked up at the magnificent royal carriage suspended above the sky.


    The royal carriage was exquisite and luxurious, surrounded by several rare spirit birds and snow-white Xuan Qi clouds lay beneath it. The golden carved jade carriage was displayed on the side, and it was clearly a valuable flying magic weapon.


    "There are still two incense sticks left for the entrance examination of the Taiyu Saint Sect. Later I will set up the examination gates on the nine stone platforms, the doors are divided into nine channels, you can enter them in turn."


    A clear voice was sounded throughout the entire Luoxia training hall, the person who spoke was a handsome young man in white. Behind him were several disciples of the True Dao Realm, standing respectfully.


    The young man''s status must be very high to be in charge of the Outer Sect''s entrance examination.


    "This is the deputy peak master of Tong Ming Peak, Liao Xun of the Great Return to the True Realm!"


    "Liao Xun Shang Zhen has been in charge of Tongming Peak for a long time, so it is only right for him to take charge of the entrance examination this time."


    "Return to the Truth Realm, tsk tsk, such a cultivation level and yet he is only the a deputy peak master. The water in the Luoxia Mountains range is very profound."


    ¡ª


    After a while, Ji Yuenian learned the identity of the young man in white from the discussions of the surrounding people.


    Tong Ming Peak was the gateway to the Luoxia training hall and its regulations were half a grid higher than those of ordinary peaks. It was not included in the Luoxia Mountains peak ranking, and it never recruits disciples. Almost all the disciples directly came from within the Six Mountains and Three Realms.


    Ji Yuenian took a step towards the stone steps, but an invisible barrier gently pushed him back, he looked up at the palaces on the other side of the staircase and frowned slightly.


    "Fellow Daoist, just now, barriers have been raised on the nine stone platforms, now it is impossible to go out."


    A person from the early stage of the Xuan [Profound] Realm walked over and smiled at Ji Yuenian.

 Ch. 47 - The List of Falling Haze

    "Thank you, Fellow Daoist."Ji Yuenian thanked him, after a little calculation, his gaze sank slightly.


    The man seemed to have seen through his thoughts and said, "According to the rumors, this Liao Xun Shangzhen is the most spontaneous person to follow. Originally, this barrier would not be raised until the examination began, but now it''s much earlier. I see that the Daoist¡¯s intentions seem to be to go to the depths of the Luoxia training hall?¡±


    "This Daoist you have ignited your Heart Fire early, and you are a human with exquisite cultivation. You must come from a family of cultivators within the nineteen ancient cities. Why didn''t you join the sect through recommendation?" Ji Yuenian was noncommittal and did not want to respond to this, but he looked at the person carefully and asked.


    "Daoist has good eyesight," the man praised, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, "The so-called recommendation to join the sect is just a shortcut for those useless people who are not sure to pass the sect entrance examination. If they really have the desire to cultivate, how would they covet the position of a mere disciple of the Outer Sect?¡±


    After saying this, he took out a jade talisman and handed it to Ji Yuenian, and said, "Your history must be similar to mine, and you are also from one of the nineteen ancient cities. This is my jade talisman of communication, how about we compete for this examination ranking?"


    Ji Yuenian took the jade talisman, pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay."


    Through the transmission jade talisman, he knew the person''s name and fame.


    Ancient City Of Cui Ri, Lu Family, Lu Changye.


    "Before entering the sect, I had the cultivation level of Xuan Sea, even among the more than 100,000 creatures who took part in the assessment, it is considered the top," Lu Changye''s eyes glowed with a blistering glow. "I gave up the recommendation to join the sect and come to take part in the examination. Besides not wanting to take that shortcut, is a fellow Daoist, like me, trying to assess the rewards of the ranking?"


    Ji Yuenian laughed a little. He knew little about the complicated affairs of the Taiyu Ancient Sect and the Outer Sect, and he didn''t think that much about it before. Even the reward of the assessment ranking has only been known for the past few days.


    He took out his jade talisman from the white jade ring and handed it to Lu Changye, and said with a smile. "Barely, Brother Lu, see you on the Luoxia list."


    Receiving the jade talisman, Lu Changye nodded in response and said goodbye to Ji Yuenian before leaving the edge of this stone platform.


    The Luoxia Ranking was the top 100 list in the final assessment ranking. Once the person entered the Luoxia Ranking, they would have immeasurable benefits for the allocation of mountain peaks and for the future cultivation.


    At this time, Ji Yuenian couldn''t leave the stone platform where the barrier was raised, and he also couldn''t go to the Chaoxia Hall to make another explanation, so he had to put his mind down for the time being and put his heart and soul on the upcoming examination.


    Bam!


    "Taiyu Tianyan Shengzong''s entrance examination will be held at the Luoxia training hall of Tong Ming Peak!"


    After two sticks of incense, along with the sound of a powerful bell, Tongming Peak deputy peak master Liao Xun''s impersonal voice also heard from afar.


    Deafening loud noises roared over the nine huge stone platforms, and nine huge light doors of about several dozen meters high rose from the ground. Countless bright rays of light were intertwined, and a magic vortex was woven into the light gates, and dazzling seven bright lights were emitted.


    The disciples behind Liao Xun scattered and landed on the side of the Light Gate on the nine stone platforms, leading the creatures on the stone platforms to enter the Light Gate one after another.


    Nearly 20,000 souls taking part in the examination gathered on each stone platform, and no one dared to make any noise, but all walked slowly towards the lofty light gate.


    The light gate was about 30 feet (ca. 9 m) high and 10 feet (ca. 3 m) wide, and dozens of people entered it at the same time every breath, but in just one stick of incense, more than two thousand people have disappeared from the stone platform to the light door where Ji Yuenian was located.


    As the flow became more and more distant from the great light door, the number of people in front of him gradually decreased, Ji Yuenian noticed that there was neither light nor heavy push behind him, and he and the dozens of people beside him were all swept into the light gate by the Xuan Qi of the disciple of the realm of Returning to the Truth.


    Between light and shadow, Ji Yuenian slowly opened his eyes, his feet were already on the ground.


    All he could see was white clouds and mist, but the clouds beneath his feet were extremely soft and solid, when he looked up, all the people taking part in the assessment had been already lined up in a long line, and he was in the first half of this long line. At the end of the line, there were still silhouettes of human figures twisting and appearing.


    "Sensitive, go to the left."


    "Normal sensing, go to the left."


    "Sensitive, go to the left."


    "Insensitive, go to the right."


    ¡ª


    A voice without a trace of emotion was heard from the head of the long flowing line, spreading far and wide throughout the misty space. S~?a??h the N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    There was a desk, a translucent figure''s hand constantly emitting Xuan Qi, checking the sensitivity of these spirits to the Xuan Qi senses.


    Two colorful light gates stand next to each other, as long as the Xuan Qi induction was not too dull, almost all could enter the left light gate to the second barrier.


    "Normal sensitivity. Go to the left."


    "Heart fire has been ignited, enter the left side."


    "Insensitive. Go to the right."


    ¡ª


    Ji Yuenian walked to the side of the desk, a transparent wave of Xuan Qi came over. At the same time, the translucent figure also spit out a few words without the slightest emotion.


    "Heart fire has been ignited, into the left side."


    Stepping into the seven-color light door on the left, you could still see the same snow and cloud as the first hurdle.


    This time the long line moved much slower, but a similar voice still came from afar.


    "Top bloodline, enter the left side."


    "Medium bloodline, enter the left side."


    "Medium bloodline, enter the left side."


    ¡ª


    Almost everyone knows that for those who could come to take part in the Luoxia Mountain Range examination, the first and second hurdles were more like going through the field, and the most important hurdle was the third hurdle, which was the most crucial one, the climbing the Cloud Stone Steps.


    On climbing the Cloud Stone Steps, 80% or even 90% of the creatures could not walk through the 120th stone steps, which meant that they were not even qualified to stay as normal disciples.

 Ch. 48 - Deer Demon

    About half an hour later, Ji Yuenian finally came to the desk and stretched out his wrist.The translucent figure placed his illusory arm on Ji Yuenian''s wrist, took a drop of blood, and said after a while, "Superior bloodline, go to the left."


    At the same time, a Cloud Token made of clouds and mist also emerged and landed on Ji Yuenian''s palm.


    Only after reaching the third level did it become necessary to distinguish identities.


    Behind Ji Yuenian was a deer demon, he was looking at Ji Yuenian''s back with some doubts in his eyes.


    This person seemed to be a human race, but he had the aura of a mountain ghost in his soul. However, no matter which of the two, it was absolutely impossible to be included in the superior bloodline.


    The demon spirits were extremely sensitive to the spirit of the mountain ghost in Ji Yuenian''s soul, but it was extremely difficult for ordinary humans to detect it, so Lu Changye of the previous Lu family never had any doubts about Ji Yuenian.


    Ji Yuenian stepped into the door of light on the left with a single step. Between the space-time transitions, there was an encompassing voice that echoed through the world.


    What he saw was an endless stone stair that reached as high as the sky itself. The sloping arc of this stone stair was not too big, about several dozen feet wide, and it spread far and wide towards the distant sky.


    The two sides of the stone stairs were surrounded by a golden morning halo. It seemed that there was nothing between heaven and the earth except the boundless sky and the clouds around the stone stairs.


    Countless creatures were already climbing the stairs, Ji Yuenian slowly took a step, and landed it on the first stone step.


    Behind him, there were constantly wriggling human figures appearing from time to time, leaping towards the top of the stone steps.


    Second step.


    Ji Yuenian sensed a very shallow pressure, which was directly acting on his soul and was very subtle.


    To his astonishment, the profound Qi within his Xuan Sea was circulating a little faster, and this stone step actually had the effect of polishing one''s cultivation and consolidating the foundation.


    Not climbing up as fast as the rest of the creatures, Ji Yuenian slowly walked towards the top of the stone steps while refining the energy in the Xuan sea.


    The third level determined the final number of stone steps climbed, not the speed.


    Tenth step.


    The pressure on his soul suddenly increased a lot while the energy in his Xuan Sea became more and more consolidated.


    After Ji Yuenian stepped into the eleventh step, there were already many ordinary people around him who gradually slowed down, unable to bear the pressure.


    Twentieth step.


    The energy in his Xuan Sea was filled to the brim, and it seemed that it had reached a bottleneck.


    Although Ji Yuenian used the Great Compassion Mantra to refine the Xuan Sea, his cultivation was still only at the beginning of the Xuan Realm. At this time, he was only one step away from the Upper stage of the Xuan Realm under the baptism of the Cloudy Stone Steps.


    The thirtieth step.


    There were already quite a few mortal teenagers who stopped beside him. These people were out of breath with every step they took, and the cold sweat slick on their foreheads.


    "Fellow Daoist, wait."


    Ji Yuenian turned his head, and a humanoid monster with antlers caught up with hurried breathing.


    The deer demon jumped to the thirtieth stone step, calmed down, and said with a smile, "Dare I ask where this friend come from?"


    "The ancient city of Taichu."


    Ji Yuenian responded, then turned around and walked towards the stone steps.


    The deer demon followed closely behind, and also went up a step, no longer speaking, but thinking secretly in his heart.


    If this person was only a human race powerhouse, then he could never have a superior bloodline, but if he was born from a mountain ghost, he would also not be eligible to be included in the superior bloodline. What determines his bloodline, then?


    "I can''t walk anymore, I really can''t walk anymore, why am I so useless!"


    The sound of screaming sounded in his ears, and a boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old was half-knelt on the thirty-fifth stone step, looking up at the endless sky-high stone stairs, his eyes full of despair ¡­ S?a??h the N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    "How can such a weak consciousness be qualified to embark on the path of cultivation?"


    "If you can''t walk, get out of here!"


    "Get out of the way! What are you howling here for!"


    The sound of sneers was incessant, and countless figures walked by the side of the boy, leaving a string of sarcastic words, making his eyes even darker with a thick cloud of despair.


    The deer demon followed Ji Yuenian to the thirty-fifth stone step, which happened to be not far from the boy.


    "Noisy!"


    A surge of demonic energy surged, directly rolling up the boy''s body and throwing it into the golden clouds encompassing both sides of the stone stairs.


    Ji Yuenian glanced sideways at the deer demon and said, "Is this not a violation of the law?"


    The deer demon put his hands back into his large sleeve robes and smiled, "If someone who can''t move on wants to leave, he can only jump into the morning halo around the stone steps, I just helped him. If he still has the energy to go up, climbing the Cloud Stone Steps will bring him back again."


    Between his words, it was obvious that he understood the rules of the entrance examination very well, so he was being concerned after seeing Ji Yuenian being judged as a superior bloodline.


    Although the superior bloodlines were almost always related to spirits, they were extremely rare, and each wielder was worthy of the resources of the Luoxia Mountains to cultivate them properly and personally.


    The fortieth step!


    After arriving here, more than 50% of the creatures participating in the assessment had been screened. These eliminated people were almost all ordinary people who came to try their luck. If one couldn''t climb the one hundred and twenty steps on the stairs, one couldn''t pass the entrance examination at all.


    The Xuan energy around Ji Yuenian''s body was surging more and more violently while his azure robe fluttered without wind along with his long black hair.


    Realizing that the stone steps here were no longer able to help him polish his cultivation, Ji Yuenian raised his head and looked up, no longer walking so slowly, but just quickened his pace.


    Forty-fifth step!


    Fiftieth step!


    The sixtieth step!


    Seventieth step!


    After walking through dozens of stone steps in a row, Ji Yuenian slowed down again, and the densely packed figures around him had already decreased by half, and the incomparably wide stone steps had also become sparse.


    The deer demon stepped on the seventieth stone steps, looked at the energy surging around Ji Yuenian, and murmured, "Is he going to break through? I didn''t realize that this person had actually cultivated up to the initial stage of the Xuan realm."


    This climbing Cloud Stone Steps was used by ordinary disciples in the Taiyu Saint Sect to polish their cultivation. Only those who had refined their Xuan Sea could perceive the improvement of their cultivation. There was only the effect of the assessment, and it was impossible to consolidate the profound depths of the Xuan Sea.


    The eightieth step!


    Ji Yuenian was surrounded by azure brilliance, and an incomparably vast phantom of the Xuan Sea appeared from the center of his eyebrows. The Xuan energy surged, actually directly breaking the bottleneck of the initial stage of the Xuan Realm.


    At the same time, the profound energy in the deep sea of ??the Shengong cave circulated more smoothly, causing subtle profound energy to dance along with his single move.


    This climbing cloud stone stair was really a treasure of the sect!


    The momentum around Ji Yuenian rose up, and his azure robe swayed as he directly walked to the top of the stone steps!


    90th step!


    100th step!


    119th step!


    Hundreds of people had stayed on this layer of stone steps, all of them were constantly trying to step into the one hundred and twentieth stone step, but most of them were slowly pushed back by an invisible force.


    Once one had passed the 120th step, he would be considered to have passed the entrance examination to a certain extent, and could be ranked as a normal disciple in the Luoxia Mountains!

 Ch. 49 - A Step Equal to Twelve!

    Lu Yao stopped along with Ji Yuenian with a calm expression.Ji Yuenian''s eyes were a little odd. He turned his head to look at the deer demon who had been following him, and said, "Why does fellow Daoist keep following me?"


    "Do I?" Lu Yao smiled and said, "Daoist friend misunderstood, I just happened to walk the Stone Steps as well."


    Shaking his head slightly, Ji Yuenian simply stopped looking at him, but stepped out one step at a time, reaching the 120th stone step.


    Everyone who was had stopped on the 119th stone step looked at Ji Yuenian with envy in their eyes.


    Once one passed this step, he could be regarded as someone who had cleared the entrance examination having met the required criteria, at least he would be listed as a handyman disciple of the Luoxia Mountains, and be able to ignite his Heart Fire, thus truly entering the long road of cultivation.


    Every step he took, the Profound Energy in Ji Yuenian''s Profound Sea became consolidated, and when he reached the 160th stone step, the Profound Energy escaping from his body had almost condensed into substance!


    "Among the hundreds of thousands of beings who participate in the sect entrance examination each time, only a few hundred can be directly listed as disciples of the Outer Sect, that is to say, only one person can be selected from a thousand people."


    Lu Yao followed up at some point, and spoke softly beside Ji Yuenian.


    Ji Yuenian''s complexion became more and more strange, and he said, "If you have something to say, fellow Daoist, just say it directly, you need not be so secretive."


    Lu Yao was silent for a moment, then said, "There is a possibility that one in a thousand can directly enter as the Outer Sect discipline. However, it is not easy to have a superior bloodline which is only present in one among the hundred thousand. Please rest assured, I have no malicious intentions."


    Ji Yuenian laughed and said, "I have an extremely ordinary human bloodline, can fellow Daoist not see it?"


    "Fellow Daoist, don''t kid, you have the aura of the origin of mountain ghosts in your soul," Lu Yao frowned, but his tone was very assuring, "However, mountain ghosts are only a kind of spiritual beings. They are far from reaching the strict requirements of the superior bloodline, which has caused me to doubt."


    Ji Yuenian shook his head and said, "I have told you the truth, believe it or not, it''s up to you."


    Having said that, he continued to ascend the the stone steps.


    Lu Yao looked at Ji Yuenian''s back, thought for a moment, and followed again.


    If there was no accident, any superior bloodline wielder would soar into the sky within the Luoxia Mountains. If one befriends them before they rise, there might be unexpected gains in the future.


    180th stone step.


    190th stone step.


    200th step!


    There were fewer and fewer people around Ji Yuenian, but his footsteps had never faltered.


    The pressure he felt in his soul was also getting stronger and stronger, but for him, it was still acceptable for the time being.


    Ji Yuenian knew a little about his so-called superior bloodline.


    Before Zhao Yinyue was about to die, she gave up the chance to reincarnate and poured all her memories of her true spirit into the depths of Ji Yuenian''s true spirit, which made him much wiser than others since he was a child, and even knew some of her several secrets which were not known by others.


    For example, the root cause of her bullying in the Zhao family was due to her ghost origin.


    Regarding the rumors about her in the ancient city of Taichu, it seemed that these years there was a "Ghost who had consummated with the old head of Zhao Family", but was that really the case?


    Ji Yuenian laughed, and his chaotic mind turned calm again. With a flick of his sleeves, he stepped into the 220th stone step!


    At the same time, a blazing white light bloomed on the identity cloud talisman surrounding him, indicating that he had crossed the threshold of being directly listed as a disciple of the Outer Sect!


    This cloud symbol was automatically condensed after passing the second level. It recorded the names of the participants, and after all tests were completed, this identity cloud talisman would be used to determine the final ranking!


    There were also very few people who didn''t want to reveal their identities, and instead wrote a sign on the cloud talisman, etc., but if they did this, the ultimate negative impact might affect them.


    The real name was extremely important to the living beings who could practice cultivation, and it was even related to the illusory destiny. If the person participating in the assessment had no problem in the head, under normal circumstances, no false name would be entered in the cloud talisman.


    There were still countless creatures between the 200th stone steps and the 219th stone steps. .


    They looked up at Ji Yuenian and the two who easily crossed the 220th stone steps.


    They were just a few steps away, but it made them depressed.


    After reaching the 221st stone step, the pressure increased sharply!


    Ji Yuenian could clearly perceive that his soul had been subjected to unparalleled tyrannical pressure, making every step he took very difficult. The pressure seemed to be given by the clouds on both sides of the stone steps!


    Lu Yao was a little slower than him, and at that time, he was also on the 221st stone step.


    Resisting the terrifying pressure that filled his body, Ji Yuenian took five steps one after another!


    226th step!


    The breeze blew up and brushed his cheeks softly, but Ji Yuenian almost fell on the stone steps and flew out!


    Looking up, there were very few people in front of him, and there were only less than a hundred people as far as one could see.


    The sound of thick gasping filtered to his ears. Ji Yuenian turned his head to the side, and a rowdy teenager with red eyes was leaping towards the stone steps in front of him!


    There were nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps in the stone steps.


    The difficulty of the first five hundred steps had nothing to do with the cultivation realm. Even ordinary people had the possibility to come out on top.


    When the boy walked by Ji Yuenian''s side, he could clearly perceive the unrivaled determination in his heart, even though there was blood in his eyes, he never stopped!


    Lu Yao smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, it''s really embarrassing that the two of us were overtaken by an ordinary person."


    Ji Yuenian glanced at him, and he already knew that Lu Yao was a talkative person, so he didn''t get angry. Instead, he regained his concentration and walked towards the stone steps ahead.


    230th step!


    235th step!


    The huge pressure swept in from all directions, almost throwing Ji Yuenian!


    The mortal teen also stopped on the steps here and roared, "I can!"


    Having said that, this young man actually took another step forward!


    Boom!


    The violent storm swept up, directly bringing the boy into the clouds, as his silhouette disappeared.


    Walking up to the 236th stone step with a mortal body, this young man''s talent could be called astonishing!


    At this moment, Lu Yao was not as relaxed as he was previously, and he needed to pause before taking each step.


    When Ji Yuenian was resting at the 235th order, he was still at the 230th order.


    But after a while, Lu Yao''s pupils shrink suddenly. He raised his head and looked straight ahead, and whispered, "How is this possible!"


    In his line of sight, Ji Yuenian, who was not far away, jumped up directly, leaping over the twelve stone steps and landed directly on the 247th stone step. S?a??h th? N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    At that time, in front of Ji Yuenian, there were only less than twenty people left!

 Ch. 50 - Peak Master Xuanyuan

    The violent imposing power swept in from all directions, and Ji Yuenian''s long black hair fluttered along with his green robes, and it seemed that he would collapse from the stone steps at any time and fall into the clouds.This was already the 247th stone step!


    The dark Heart Fire in his soul burned suddenly, dissipating a small half of the huge pressure endured by Ji Yuenian, granting him a moment of respite.


    The most mysterious thing about the stone steps was that they could roughly detect the true Grade of the soul''s Heart Fire even without it being ignited. The higher the Heart Fire Sequence, the further one could go on the Cloud Stone Steps!


    The psychic karma fire was rare in the world, and its miraculous and mysterious features were already noticed by Ji Yuenian. He could slightly control the sequence of rank that the psychic karma manifested externally!


    Previously, he had always manifested the Grade 6 Heart Fire Sequence. At this time, he had reached the limit above the Cloud Stone Steps, so he simply raised it to Grade 5.


    A pitch-black flame ignited from within the soul, and Ji Yuenian''s eyes flashed with azure lights, and when he flicked his sleeves, he crossed another seven stone steps one after another!


    254th step!


    There was an uproar on the stone steps behind him, and countless creatures looked dumbfounded at Ji Yuenian. He looked like he was unstoppable.


    "By the time one reach the 200th stone step, others would pause for a long time for every stone step, but this person crossed seven stone steps one after another!"


    "He actually surpassed the Xu family''s, Xu Jingshen!"


    "Xu Jingshen is the evildoer with the Grade 5 Heart Fire Sequence, and he has only reached the 251st step. Could it be that this person also has the Grade 5 Heart Fire Sequence!?"


    "This time, the entrance examination is shocking. So far, there have been nine people with the Grade 5 Heart Fire Sequence!"


    The person named Xu Jingshen was originally ranked eleventh and was adjusting his mental condition on the 251st stone step. Seeing Ji Yuenian stepping up ahead, he was shocked, his eyes narrowed as he stared at the lonely back.


    Although the Grade of the Heart Fire Sequence was not all that was tested by the Cloud Stone Steps, it represented an upper limit in a certain aspect, which was extremely important.


    Even the people at the front of the Cloud Stone steps turned their heads one after another, looking at Ji Yuenian who was walking forward step by step, with inexplicable eyes.


    "254th, is this my limit with the Grade 5 Heart Fire Sequence?"


    Ji Yuenian gradually got used to the violent pressure on the stone steps, and countless thoughts appeared in his heart.


    But there were less than ten people in front of him, and most of them had the Grade 5 Heart Fire Sequence.


    If the 254th rank was his limit, then didn''t it mean that these people were stronger than him? Or had they surpassed him?


    Thinking of this, Ji Yuenian''s face turned expressionless. He forcibly endured the intense pain in the depths of his soul, and stepped another two steps in succession!


    256th step!


    There were two monsters staying on this stone step, but Ji Yuenian didn''t look at them, and continued to climb, placing one foot on the 257th step!


    Boom! S?a??h th? N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    The ferocious and violent wind surged, and directly lifted him off the stone steps!


    In an instant, a brilliant golden light flashed around Ji Yuenian''s body. He was surrounded by shards of scattered lights;  he was forcibly rolled back in the air several feet high, and stopped at the 256th step stone again.


    If it weren''t for the extraordinary golden profound strength of the Great Compassion Mantra, Ji Yuenian would not have been able to resist this overwhelming wind.


    Ji Yuenian''s pupil turned a shade darker, and he was rapidly thinking in his heart.


    Where is the problem?


    In terms of bloodline, he was superior; in terms of the Grade of Heart Fire, he could also be regarded as someone with a Grade 5 Heart Fire Sequence; in terms of cultivating his mind, he had never once fallen behind anyone.


    With all these advantages, why was he still lacking so much here?


    On the stone steps ahead, several people had already passed the 270th step!


    "Brother Shangui, you''ve already entered the top ten, so there''s no need to fight anymore!"


    Lu Yao''s voice came from afar. Ji Yuenian looked back at him, but suddenly there was a thunderbolt in his mind!


    The origin of mountain ghosts!


    There was the origin of the mountain ghost that had settled down in his soul!


    The origin of the ghost''s yin power in the upper realm had been stored in the depths of his soul for a long time by chance, and it was being devoured up by the Heart Fire every moment. However, in Cloud Stone Step, this source of yin force was very likely to cause confusion in the bloodline. Thus, it was directly counted as the lower grade within the bloodline.


    The ordinary human bloodline plus the strange bloodline inherited from Zhao Yinyue, together with the origin of the ghost''s yin power that blended within his soul, was enough to be judged as an inferior bloodline by the stone step!


    As for why it was judged as a high-grade bloodline in the second level, Ji Yuenian was not very clear about this matter, so he could only make a rough guess.


    The sixth person had walked through the 270th stone steps, and the first-ranked monster girl had already stepped on the 279th stone steps!


    Ji Yuenian was silent for a moment, then directly sat down on the 256th stone step, closed his eyes slightly, and seemed to sink into cultivation.


    "What is that person doing?"


    "Could it be that he want to make a breakthrough? But the first 300 steps of the Cloud Stone Steps are not affected by the cultivation realm. Could it be that this person doesn''t know about this?"


    "He''s weird!"


    Everyone on the stone steps at the rear looked at Ji Yuenian sitting cross-legged on the ground and chattered on.


    At the same time, Luoxia Mountains, inside the Chaoxia Hall.


    Dozens of huge light curtains were lined up in the mid-air of the main hall, clearly reflecting the various scenes on the stone steps.


    There were more than ten mountain peak masters sitting on the throne of the main hall, chatting and laughing with one another, and they all recorded their favorite disciples in the jade talisman from time to time.


    The top ten peak masters of the Luoxia Mountains gathered here, plus the peak masters of several other peaks. In total, there were as many as 15 people.


    The other hundreds of mountain peak masters were not qualified to come to Chaoxia Hall to select disciples; they could only look at the Cloud Stone Steps on the light curtain in their own mountain hall, and pay attention to them secretly.


    If a talented disciple was born in the many peaks of the Outer Sect, then after entering the six mountains and three realms of the Taiyu Temple, the peak master of that mountain would receive rich and incomparable rewards. This was one of the reasons why these peak masters were so active.


    "Although Yu Yan is the only fourth rank in the Heart Fire sequence among the hundreds of thousands of souls in the sect entrance examination, it is quite difficult to walk through the 285th stone step."


    A peak master looked at the monster girl at the top of the climbing cloud stone steps, and said softly.


    "Yes, from the 285th stone step to the 300th stone step, the difficulty of these 15th steps is completely different from the previous 285th steps, and cannot be compared at all."


    "That''s true."


    Several peak masters agreed.


    Another peak master moved his eyes slightly, pointing at Ji Yuenian who was sitting with his eyes closed on the 256th stone steps, "Everyone, please look at this person."


    At that moment, someone said, "This person is born from a mountain ghost, with a Grade 5 Heart Fire Sequence, and his aptitude is acceptable."


    The peak master smiled and shook his head, and said, "No, because one of my juniors is with him, I have been paying attention to him, consciously or not, and I just realized that this person had a Grade 6 Heart Fire Sequence. Then, under the temperance of the steps, it turned into a Grade 5 Heart Fire Sequence!"


    "What?!"


    "Master Xuanyuan, is that true?"


    The several peak masters were all shocked, and they all looked at the Peak Master Xuanyuan who spoke out.


    Peak Master Xuanyuan nodded and said, "The Grade of the Heart Fire Sequence cannot be changed, this is already known throughout the world. It''s just that everything has a line of variables, and in the case of extreme coincidences, living beings also can improve their Heart Fire. Because this disciple has this opportunity proves that his luck is not bad, and I want this person."


    "I just looked at the people in the front. That''s why I let you take the lead!"


    "This disciple is really good, but unfortunately he was taken away by Peak Master Xuanyuan."

 Ch. 51 - Its a deal

    Ji Yuenian opened his eyes slightly, and a dark Yin force swept out from his body, annihilating the clouds on both sides of the stone steps.He actually used the psychic karma to strip away the origin of the mountain ghosts deposited in the soul, and completely gave up the huge Yin power of the upper realm!


    On the stone steps behind, someone noticed Ji Yuenian''s abnormality, "What is he doing?"


    A monster said in shock, "The aura of a mountain ghost on this person is getting weaker and weaker! It turns out that he was not a mountain ghost!"


    "If he''s not a mountain ghost, how could he have the origin energy of a mountain ghost?"


    Countless eyes looked towards the 256th stone step and hovered on Ji Yuenian.


    The Heart Fire was mysterious and secret, and these creatures would naturally not know of its mysteries.


    The one who was most astonished was Lu Yao. He had already stopped on the 235th stone step. At this time, he was looking up at Ji Yuenian, who had no trace of Yin energy, and muttered, "So you are human."


    At the moment when the origin energy of the mountain ghost was completely annihilated, the pressure around Ji Yuenian suddenly lightened!


    His bloodline was once again judged to be superior by climbing the Cloud Stone Steps!


    The young man stood up, his wavy robe sleeves swayed lightly, and he jumped over a full sixteen stone steps and landed on the 272nd stone step!


    "What!?"


    "This is impossible!!!"


    Countless voices laced with shock echoed in the mountain, and within the hundreds of peaks in the Luoxia Mountains, countless eyes were staring at the handsome young man standing behind the curtain of light.


    Even Peak Master Xuanyuan, who was paying attention to Ji Yuenian in the Chaoxia Hall, stood up abruptly, his expressions full of shock.


    "This disciple is not actually a mountain ghost! Come on, go and investigate the name this person has entered in cloud symbol, and get me his results in the first two levels!"


    "Yes, Peak Master Xuanyuan!"


    Above the two hundred and seventy-second stone steps.


    "Greetings, Brother Daoist, I am Liu Baishui of the Liu family from Xiangcheng. May I ask this brother''s name?"


    A human youth in the upper realm of the Profound Realm looked at Ji Yuenian beside him in astonishment, and bowed to greet him.


    He was also the only one of the seven people who had crossed the 270th stone step, the only one of the pure human bloodline.


    The other six people, including Ji Yuenian who just landed on the 272nd stone steps, all had superior bloodlines.


    "Taichu city''s Ji''s family, Ji Yuenian."


    Ji Yuenian returned the gesture, and turned to look in front.


    At this time, he was ranked sixth, with five others ahead.


    Except Yu Yan, who ranked first, was on the 280th stone step, the other four were on the 276th and 277th stone steps respectively.


    The address, "Brother Daoist" was closer than that of "Daoist friend". Liu Baishui was obviously from a cultivation family, and he was well versed in the ways of platitude. All beings who could walk here on the top of the Cloud Stone Steps did not have bad potential. It was totally worth it for him to lower his stance and take the initiative to make friends.


    "Brother Daoist, do you still have the energy to move forward?"


    Liu Baishui noticed Ji Yuenian''s gaze, and said with a smile.


    Ji Yuenian nodded and said, "I''m fine."


    Liu Baishui was stunned for a while, but his expression remained the same. He was even a little surprised in his heart.


    He was not a demon spirit. It was extremely difficult to detect the mountain ghost aura on Ji Yuenian''s body before, and he had not paid attention to the people behind him. At that moment, he still thought that Ji Yuenian was the same as him, just a pure human race with an average bloodline, along with the Grade 5 Heart Fire Sequence, but Ji Yuenian still had the intention to advance. How could he stop here?


    Thinking of this, Liu Baishui''s eyes became firmer, and he and Ji Yuenian glanced at each other, and both walked towards the stone step above at the same time.


    273rd step.


    Liu Baishui''s forehead was covered in cold sweat.


    His body trembled uncontrollably, and if he didn''t pay attention, he would be knocked out of the Cloud Stone Steps.


    This was already the limit of his abilities.


    On the other hand, looking at Ji Yuenian around him, although his eyes were dark and quiet, his footsteps were extremely steady.


    Before waiting for him to react, Ji Yuenian took another step forward and jumped up the 280th step, tying with Yu Yan!


    Liu Baishui raised his head to look at the unstoppable Ji Yuenian, his eyes dimmed slightly, and he was slammed at of the stone step and submerged into the clouds on both sides.


    "This!"


    "Who is that person!!!"


    "Go and find out his origin!"


    Within the vast and glorious Luoxia Mountains, almost all eyes turned to Ji Yuenian.


    Chaoxia Hall.


    "I report to the Peak Master Xuanyuan and all the other peak masters. This person''s name is Ji Yuenian, and he comes from the Ji family in the ancient city of Taichu. He has ignited his Heart Fire at an early age, and he is extremely active, and the judgment of the second level barrier is that he possesses a Superior bloodline."


    A disciple of Tongming Peak stepped into the hall, first saluted the peak masters one after another, and then made a report.


    At this time, no one listened to what he said, and more than a dozen peak masters were all shocked and stared at the scene displayed on the light curtain.


    Ji Yuenian took several steps again, directly surpassing Yu Yan, and stopped on the 285th stone step!


    Yu Yan was a girl in a moon-white dress, her blue hair hanging down to her waist, making her even more beautiful.


    Among the hundreds of thousands of beings in this sect entrance examination, she was the only monstrous talent who ignited a Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence.


    "Who is this man!"


    Yu Yan bit her lip lightly, looked up at Ji Yuenian''s back, the shock in her heart was beyond words.


    After the 285th step, almost every step was difficult, and she had not reached the 285th step at this time. At the 280th step, she was completely exhausted. However, this young man had stepped on the 285th stone step!


    Currently, Ji Yuenian''s soul could not feel any pressure, but no matter how much he moved forward, he could step into the 286th step.


    It seemed that there was an invisible barrier in front of him, making him come to a complete halt at the 285th stone step.


    "Were you not quick on your feet, why can you not walk now?"


    Yu Yan''s mood was rather complicated, but at this moment, she somehow blurted out the words with a hint of sarcasm.


    Ji Yuenian turned her head and glanced at her lightly, without saying a word.


    Yu Yan was so ignored by him, and there was a flame in her heart. Maybe she was angry that Ji Yuenian had gone five more steps than her, but it was uncharacteristic, and she continued to say, "Climb. Why have you stopped?"


    "Are you a three-year-old kid? What does it matter to you if I climb or not?"


    Ji Yue said in a cold voice.


    Yu Yan had already determined that Ji Yuenian was unable to move to climb, and seemed to have regained a hint of confidence, saying, "If you can step into the 286th step, I will bet you a psychic magic weapon. How about it? If you don''t dare, forget it."


    She didn''t really want to bet on a psychic magic weapon, but knowing that Ji Yuenian couldn''t cross the 286th stone step, she deliberately made this statement to save some face.


    "It''s a deal."


    The young man''s dull voice drifted to her ears, causing Yu Yan to be stunned for a while. S?a??h th? ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Inside Ji Yuenian''s soul, there was a dark psychic karma burning fiercely.


    He paused and said softly, "It''s just that, compared to your psychic magic weapon, I still care more about what I can get after crossing the stone steps."


    After those words fell, a blazing red flame rose from his hair, robes, and eyes.


    The clouds around the stone steps surged violently, turning into a huge vortex which surrounded Ji Yuenian, sweeping thousands of miles of clouds on both sides of the stone steps!


    Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence!


    Inside the Chaoxia Hall, all the peak masters stood up abruptly, their faces a mask of sheer horror!

 Ch. 52 - Guanxia, ??Ji Qing

    A peak master said in shock, "If my eyes did not deceive me, Ji Yuenian just ignited a Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequnce!"Peak Master Xuanyuan looked solemn and said with a heavy voice, "Also, this child not only raised the Grade of his Heart Fire previously from Grade 6 to 5, he has once again done the same. This matter is really too unbelievable."


    "This disciple seems to continue to go up!" Liao Xun, the deputy peak master of Tongming Peak, looked a little suspicious, and murmured, "A superior bloodline that ignites the Heart Fire of the 4th Grade. Even in the six mountains and three realms of the Taiyu Holy Sect. It''s not bad. It seems that Yu Yan girl won''t be able to get first place in the assessment this time."


    Although Yu Yan also had a superior bloodline with a Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence, but according to the scene above the climbing cloud stone steps, Ji Yuenian''s potential had clearly surpassed her.


    Outside the Chaoxia Hall, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps.


    A black-clothed disciple who was in the True Dao Realm entered the hall, looked up at the peak masters, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Reporting to Peak Master Liao, there is some news about that Ji Yuenian ..." S?a??h th? ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Liao Xun''s eyes narrowed, and he said, "What''s the news?"


    "This person is a disciple who was recommended by the ancient city of Taichu not long ago. He has been assigned to the Eclipse Peak by the Shanwu Palace. Now he should have an official Outer Sect disciple token." The disciple silently deliberated his wording, and spoke truthfully to the peak masters.


    "What!?"


    Peak Master Xuanyuan suddenly turned his head to the side and looked at the black-clothed disciple with an extremely fierce look, "It turns out that this child has already entered the Eclipse Peak! Why didn''t you find out about it earlier? The entrance examination is related to the continuation of the inheritance of the Taiyu Sect. How dare you be so careless!"


    Another peak master also had an angry look on his face. "Even though he has an amazing talent, Ji Yuenian is already a disciple of the Outer Sect, why should he take part in the entrance examination again? Such a blatant violation of the sect rules. It would be really hard to convince people not to punish him severely for the blatant violation of the sect rules."


    Liao Xun''s eyes were slightly cold. He took a step forward, and said towards Peak Master Xuanyuan, "Peak Master Xuanyuan, what do you mean by our Tongming Peak? There are nearly 200,000 souls in the entrance examination this time. According to the practice of previous years, the verification of identity is almost always done after the fourth level is over. The vast majority of unqualified people are first screened out and then checked one by one. At this time, they are only at the third level. Peak Master Xuanyuan is excellent, such authority!"


    This was the Chaoxia Hall of Tongming Peak. Liao Xun, as the deputy peak master of Tongming Peak, naturally could not allow Peak Master Xuanyuan to scold his disciples from Tongming Peak like this.


    "Everyone seems to have forgotten something." When the atmosphere between the two peak masters was a little tense, a faint voice spread throughout the Chaoxia Hall.


    More than ten peak masters all looked at the person who opened the mouth, and it was Ji Qiong, the peak master of Guanxia Peak.


    Ji Qiong, dressed in a green dress, stepped down from the throne, looked around for a second, and said softly: "Although this Eclipse Moon Peak is not well-known among the hundreds of peaks in the Luoxia Mountains, I suppose you haven''t forgotten its owner?"


    "It''s just an unnamed mountain, Peak Master Ji Qiong. What is the origin of this Eclipse Peak?" A peak master looked unhappy, and even his words to Ji Qiong were quite disrespectful.


    Ji Qiong glanced at him and said, "Peak Master Ying Ye, which mountain of the six mountains are you from?"


    There was a hint of arrogance in the eyes of Peak Master Ying Ye as he said, "The second mountain range, the Luoyin Mountain Range."


    "If that''s the case, then peak master Ying Ye should know the name of the master of Eclipse Peak," Ji Qiong said with a smile, "This mountain is named after her."


    Peak Master Ying Ye was stunned for a while, then muttered, his face gradually becoming hideous, "Eclipse Moon Peak ... Eclipse moon, could it be her!!!"


    Ji Qiong didn''t blame him for the rudeness of calling him by his name, but nodded and said, "Yes, the peak master of Eclipse Peak is the Saintess Eclipse of the second mountain range."


    "Peak Master Guanxia is really thoughtful."


    Peak Master Xuanyuan sighed and shook his head, "I was a little hesitant when I heard the three words Eclipse Moon Peak. After all, although this mountain has been established in the Luoxia Mountains for a long time, it has never been known by its name. It didn''t attract attention at all, and it made me forget about it for a while."


    Peak Master Ying Ye was stunned for a while, then he clasped his hands towards Ji Qiong, and said, "Peak Master Guanxia, I have been rude."


    "No matter," Ji Qiong shook his head. "I''ve heard some rules of the Saintess of the Luoyin Mountains back then. Although the Eclipse Peak is only a temporary mountain, it also has quite a few weird rules. Even the recommended disciples have to retake the assessment before they can be included in the Eclipse Peak."


    Liao Xun glanced at the Peak Master Xuanyuan, and then said, "And if the disciples who were allotted to Eclipse Peak pass the assessment, they can only return to the Eclipse Peak, and cannot choose another mountain."


    Peak Master Xuanyuan looked at Ji Yuenian above the climbing cloud stone steps through the light curtain, and there was a trace of pity in his eyes.


    The Luoxia Mountains were only the Outer Sect of the Taiyu Holy Sect. Compared with the Six Mountains and Three Realms, they were extremely insignificant. Eclipse was the Holy Maiden of the Second Mountain Range. The rules set by her could not be shaken by him.


    "The woman is really abominable. Hundreds of years ago, she erected a mountain here at will, and she never paid attention to it. The arrogance of a Grade 4 Heart Fire really is something!"


    The blatant sarcasm spread throughout the Chaoxia Hall, but the person who spoke was a frivolous young man in white.


    The expressions of the rest of the peak masters changed slightly, and when they saw the boy in white, they all showed a wry smile.


    The Peak Master Xingyuan dared to directly state the omissions and mistakes of the Saintess of the Second Mountain Range because he had a very deep background and was not afraid of the Eclipse Moon. He turned his head away and pretended not to hear this.


    At this moment, Ji Yuenian, who shone with red flames inside the light curtain, stepped up to the 286th stone step!


    As Ji Yuenian ignited the Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence, the invisible barrier in front of him gradually dissipated. Although it was also invaded by a huge and unparalleled pressure, the stone step was not impossible to cross.


    The violent astral wind swept across the sky, and the huge cloudy vortex above his head swirled around. Ji Yuenian raised his head and glanced at the top of the unreachable stone step, and took another step!


    287th step!


    Behind him, Yu Yan was completely stunned, staring blankly at the young man''s fluttering long jet-black hair not far ahead. She was unable to utter a complete sentence.

 Ch. 53 - Unlocking The Mysterious Spiritual Ghosts Bloodline!

    Crunch!There was a heart-piercing pain all over his body. Ji Yuenian frowned, and he noticed that red bloodshots had faintly appeared on his arm.


    Even if the Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence was ignited, could he only climb two more stone steps?


    Ji Yuenian tried to move his body, and in an instant, there seemed to be ten thousand steel needles piercing through his soul, and a distorted pain invaded his heart.


    But if he could climb through the 287th stone steps when participating in the assessment, he had already surpassed 99% of the creatures of the entire Taiyu Holy Sect!


    But, this 287th stone step was not enough for Ji Yuenian!


    Taiyu Holy Sect treated disciples with extraordinary talents with extreme bias.


    Although he still needed to hide the existence of psychic karma at this time, his true bloodline power did not need to be hidden any longer!


    Only when his presence in Taiyu Sect was more stable, and he developed further, could Ji Yuenian be able to accomplish the thing that he had no hope of doing now at all.


    Amidst the fluttering black hair, Ji Yuenian slowly closed his eyes.


    A strong ghostly aura rushed out from his fair and delicate eyebrows, instantly covering his face, and turned it into a hideous and terrifying ghost mask!


    This aura did not come from within the soul, but from the depths of his bloodline!


    Zhao Yinyue gave all of her bloodline power to Ji Yuenian. At that time, he was no longer from the human race, but a rare and incomparable ghost!


    After a practitioner reached a certain level of cultivation, there would be three major tribulations that would fall on him from heaven and earth. The first tribulation was called the Tribulation of Creation, the second tribulation was called the Tribulation of Fire and Mystery, and the third tribulation was called the Tribulation of Wind and Terror.


    No matter what kind of living creature, if they were fortunate enough to survive these three tribulations, they could be ranked as Supreme Beings. Since then, their lifespan would be long, and the taboos of life and death would disappear. Moreover, they did not have to worry about the end of their lives.


    And those creatures who had not survived the three major tribulations would die with their spirits and souls annihilated. Their true spirits would be scattered, and they would be eroded and condensed by the Yin energy of heaven and earth to give birth to spiritual wisdom, ultimately forming a newborn heart ghost.


    Therefore, many creatures who had participated in the Tribulation of Creation were extremely cautious, and if they were not completely sure, they would not take the initiative to cross the three tribulations that were enough to destroy them completely. Instead, they would look for various ways to avoid death and prolong life, and delay as long as they could.


    This has also led to the fact that the number of heart ghosts between heaven and earth were extremely rare, and the conditions for the birth of such creatures were extremely harsh. Their talent was far beyond the rest of the creatures. This was comparable to the Grade 3 Heart Fire Sequence.


    Although, spirits such as mountain ghosts were also born from the Yin Qi of heaven and earth. If one compared their potential and aptitude with the spiritual ghosts, the difference was even more than 108,000 miles.


    Inside the Chaoxia Hall, more than ten peak masters all had a change in expression, looking at Ji Yuenian who climbed on the stone steps one after another within the light curtain, and their eyes lit up with extreme brilliance.


    290th step!


    "Spiritual ghost bloodline!"


    "Having this bloodline is enough to be on a par with the Grade 3 Heart Fire Sequence!"


    "Looking at the Six Mountains and Three Realms of the Taiyu Holy Sect, there are no more than ten souls who have the Grade 3 of the Heart Fire Sequence. This disciple ... is the person with the best qualifications in the Taiyu Holy Sect in the past five thousand years!"


    Cangming Peak''s deputy peak master, Liao Xun looked very excited. He waved to a black-clothed disciple and said anxiously, "Immediately send the jade slip to the Qingluo realm, saying that there is a creature with the blood of a mysterious ghost in the Luoxia Mountains!" S?a?ch* Th? ??v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Ji Yuenian was not a complete spiritual ghost, but he had the bloodline of the spiritual ghost, but even so, leaving aside the psychic karma fire, this bloodline alone was comparable to that of the Grade 3 Heart Fire Sequence.


    The rest of the peak masters all had different looks, and they took out the jade slips and entered the information. After counting their breaths, more than ten beams of brilliance flew out of the Chaoxia Hall and disappeared into the sky of clouds.


    At the same time, countless jade talismans scattered from the hundreds of peaks of the Luoxia Mountains.


    Countless rainbows of light pierced through the sky and flew away in the direction of the Six Mountains and Three Realms of the Taiyu Holy Sect.


    "When this disciple is cultivating in the Luoxia Mountains, he must enter my Xingyuan Peak!" The boy in white flicked his sleeves ruthlessly, and said domineeringly, "Even if Eclipse Moon came here in person, I would say the same!"


    "Peak Master Xingyuan is very brave."


    Peak Master Xuanyuan laughed, but he despised him very much in his heart.


    He was just a person with some background, and he was sent out to the Luoxia Mountains to accumulate qualifications, yet he acted so domineeringly.


    Naturally, Peak Master Xingyuan didn''t know his slander. He raised his head and stared at the light curtain, saying, "With the blood of the mysterious spiritual ghost, I don''t know how many stone steps he can reach in the end."


    On the Cloud Stone Steps.


    On Ji Yuenian''s face, there was a hideous and terrifying ghost mask, and the red and white mask exuded an astonishing Yin of heaven and earth, so that his whole body was wrapped in a layer of translucent black mist.


    Step!


    The dark Yin around him quickly dissipated until a thin layer remained, but Ji Yuenian was already standing on the 291st stone step!


    Is this the limit?


    Ji Yuenian raised his head slightly, which was covered by a ghost mask. No one could see his expression from the light curtain.


    After a while, the youth''s long jet-black hair fluttered wildly behind him, and his robes screeched as he took another step!


    292nd step!


    "This ... this ... evildoer! What kind of evildoer is this!"


    "The Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence plus the blood of the mysterious spiritual ghost! This person is probably the most talented person in the Taiyu Holy Sect in thousands of years!"


    "It would be fine if it was only the Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence, but this mysterious bloodline ... I remember the last time Taiyu Holy Sect gave birth to a Grade 3 Heart Fire Sequence, it was seven thousand years ago!"


    "The Bloodline of spiritual ghost is enough to be on a par with the Grade 3 Heart Fire Sequence, and even slightly surpasses it in some respects!"


    "How is this possible! He has the strength to keep going!"


    In an unbelievable uproar, the Yin energy around Ji Yuenian''s body completely dissipated, and red bloodstains ooze from his body, but he stil l... took another step!


    Boom!


    293rd step!


    The mask of the evil ghost collapsed directly, and Ji Yuenian knelt on the stone steps for a second, with blood and tears oozing from the corners of his eyes.


    "The Taiyu Holy Sect has a legacy of more than 70,000 years. Since the inception of the Cloud Stone Steps, there were only seven creatures who could step on the three hundred step."


    Ji Yuenian murmured in a low voice, a large mass of blood mist burst out from his body, and he climbed again!


    294th step!


    Boom!


    His arms collapsed under the immense pressure and broke away!


    The rich black light quickly intertwined into a new pair of arms, and the bloodline power of the mysterious spiritual ghost was completely awakened.


    The boy lowered his head and said softly, "I am Ji Yuenian."


    He took another step!


    His arms and feet all turned into black light and dissipated, but only half of his body was left.


    Fortunately, he had already landed on the stone step in front of him!


    295th step!!!


    "Good."


    The black light entwined and circulated, and endless Yin Qi poured out between the heavens and the earth, re-weaving his body.


    The green robe magic treasure had long since disappeared, and what Ji Yuenian was wearing at this time was a black robe made of Yin energy.


    "Let''s go."


    296th step!!!


    The young man stood quietly on the stone step, his intricately patterned black robes fluttered in the wind. On his fair face, those eyebrows appeared picturesque and there was a cold light in his quiet eyes.


    Boom!


    Peak Master Xingyuan slapped the luxurious seat beside him with a slap, and roared, "I have to bring this discipline into the Li family!"


    After this sentence fell, he realized that the other peak masters were all casting some strange gazes on him, and he couldn''t help but chuckle twice, but his determination became stronger.


    One of the most important reasons for him to come to the Luoxia Mountains to be a peak master was to win over talented disciples for the Li family.

 Ch. 54 - The Eighth Creature

    "It turned out to be the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline."Yu Yan somehow recovered from the shock of Ji Yuenian''s evil ghost mask, but her expression became more and more complicated!


    Passing the 296th stone step ... Ji Yuenian had achieved such a momentous result. This examination was enough to be remembered for a long time! As a person who was assessed along with him, and had a Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence, how could she stop at the 280th stone step?


    Yu Yan bit her lips lightly, her long blue hair was windless, and she also tried to take a step towards the 281st stone step.


    Not yet!


    The violent pressure swept from all directions, making the young girl''s thin figure teetering and at the brink of losing her balance and falling into the clouds.


    Having no choice but to retreat to the top of the 280th stone step. She looked up at the black-clad young man not far ahead and muttered in a low voice. "Is the gap really so big?"


    The black-clad young man, Ji Yuenian, seemed to have reached the limit?. His long black hair danced wildly behind him, and his pupils trembled with a dark light. But no matter how much he tried, he couldn''t step into the 297th stone step in front of him.


    The Taiyu Holy Sect has a legacy of more than 70,000 years. But only seven creatures have passed the 300th step in the entrance examination. These seven creatures all, at the least, had the Grade 3 Heart Fire Sequence, with more enchanting talents and bloodline. Only then they could walk through these 300 stone steps.


    Even though Ji Yuenian had a rare Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline, the limitation of the Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence made him reach his limit at the 296th stone step, and he could no longer move forward.


    The Spiritual Fire differed from the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost Bloodline. Although it was also rare in the world, it would not be exposed easily.


    The bloodline was innate and could not be deprived, while the Heart Fire was attached to the soul. Once the Spirit Fire was exposed, Ji Yuenian would most likely fall into a state of no return!


    The Taiyu Holy Sect was vast and boundless, and it did not spare any effort to cultivate students with great potential by directing resources. The sect could accommodate a Grade 3 Heart Fire Sequence, and many superior bloodlines with extraordinary talents. But it had no room for a soul with psychic karma!


    This black Heart Fire was terrifying. Not even the tip of the iceberg was revealed.


    "Have you reached the limit?"


    Liao Xun sat back on his throne again. He picked up the spiritual tea on the table and took a sip with a complex expression. S~?a??h the N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    As the Cloud Stone Steps were refined, even if Ji Yuenian stopped at the 296th stone step, he would still qualify for the top 20.


    It was just that the bloodline of the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost that he revealed was so amazing. Which made the peak masters forget about his Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence for a while.


    With the existence of this heavy restriction, if there was no accident, Ji Yuenian would have a hard time taking the step through to the 297th stone step.


    "If I remember correctly, those who can walk past the 300 stone steps within the entrance examination can directly become a candidate Holy Son of the six mountain ranges of the Taiyu Holy Sect."


    Ji Yuenian said in his young voice, and the black light in his pupils became more and more dazzling.


    There were six mountain ranges within the main sect of the Taiyu Saint Sect. Each mountain had only one Holy Son at any time, but there were several candidate Holy Sons. However, given the sheer size of the Taiyu Holy Sect, even the title of a "candidate Holy Son" was an extremely privileged position within the sect, and their status far exceeded that of ordinary disciples.


    Between the palms, a dark cloud appeared, exuding a strange and incomparable turbid aura.


    It was mixed with the "spiritual ash" and the body ghost origin of the regenerative ghost clothing.


    Spiritual ashes were impurities that existed in every living soul. But because of the practice of "Buddhist Incantations", Ji Yuenian had long taken out all the spiritual ashes in his body and completed the soul-cleansing from the inside out.


    This soul-regenerating ghost clothing was extremely mysterious and has been worn by Ji Yuenian. At this time, the spirit ash in climbing stone steps affected the determination of Ji Yuenian''s potential, and could not reveal his true talent after his soul was purged.


    With a slight movement of his fingers, he put the ghost robe into the white jade ring. The clouds on both sides of the stone steps that Ji Yuenian stood on immediately changed, tumbling more and more violently.


    He flicked his sleeve robe, a faint golden aura shone all over his body, and he took a step towards the seemingly impenetrable 297th stone step.


    Two steps.


    Three steps.


    299th step! !!


    The entire Luxia Mountains fell silent.


    Whether it was the many peak masters in the hundreds of mountain peaks or more than 100,000 Outer Sect disciples, hundreds of thousands of handymen disciples, or even nearly 200,000 living souls participating in the examination, all held their breath and concentrated on him. Through the light screen, they looked at the young man on top of the stone steps ascending the clouds.


    After cleansing the soul and purifying the marrow, there was no trace of spiritiual ash impurities in Ji Yuenian''s Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline. Now it faintly exceeded the Grade 3 Heart Fire Sequence!


    The world seems to have quieted down.


    The black robe sleeves rolled up, while the young man took a step again.


    300th step!


    Thousands of miles of clouds and haze swirled around the stone steps. The sound of a fairy filled the air along with the strange fragrance.


    "The 300th step!!!"


    "In over 70,000 years, this is the eighth living creature to have stepped on the 300th step during the examination!"


    "It is indeed a blessing for us to witness the emergence of such a heavenly talent emerge!"

 Ch. 55 - Your Highness

    "He really walked three hundred steps," Liao Xun let out a long sigh, and a hint of complex emotions gradually appeared in his deep eyes. "I vaguely remember that in the records of the Taiyu Holy Sect, the last creature that stepped on the three hundredth stone step was a white-tailed demon snake 7,800 years ago, even before I was born."For the most powerful sects, such as the Taiyu Holy Sect, the passing of thousands of years were just akin to a blink of an eye. But for the vast majority of creatures with a lifespan of only a few hundred years, a thousand-year was a natural moat that could never be crossed.


    Even the living beings in the True Dao Realm  only had a lifespan of eight hundred years.


    Peak Master Xingyuan, Li Shixuan, stepped forward, formed an incomparably complicated seal, and injected it into the light curtain around the Chaoxia Hall. Then, a deep voice entered the third level, "Ji Yuenian, in the Outer Sect, would you like to enter my Xingyuan Peak to cultivate? I can make a promise on behalf of the Li family in the Third Mountain range that I will do my best to foster you!"


    Within the entire Luxia Mountains, countless discussions erupted.


    Even before the assessment was over, Peak Master Xingyuan hurriedly threw an olive branch, which was enough to show the urgency in his heart.


    Peak Master Guanxia, Ji Qiong, said with a smile, "Peak Master Xingyuan, the assessment is not over yet. Are you not a bit too impatient to act like this?" s?a??h th? N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Shixuan''s eyes sank slightly, and he shook his head and said, "Peak Master Guanxia''s words are wrong. Don''t you realize that there are more than ten beams of light rushing towards the Luoxia Mountains while we speak?"


    Ji Qiong felt a bit startled, and said, "Looking at this momentum, I am afraid that there is a great powerhouse at Divine Sea Realm coming, and there is more than one!"


    Back at the stone steps.


    Ji Yuenian stood on the 300th stone step and looked back.


    Countless creatures who participated in the assessment raised their heads and looked up at him, their eyes filled with complex expressions of envy, admiration, jealousy, shock, and so on.


    The spiritual bird''s cries echoed in his ears, and the clouds gathered together to drowned everything above the Cloud Stone Steps.


    When he opened his eyes again, Ji Yuenian reappeared on the nine suspended stone platforms in Luoxia Hall.


    The nine stone platforms that were incomparably huge were sparsely populated, and the nearly 200,000 souls who participated in the assessment were decreased to a mere 20,000.


    According to the regulations of the assessment, after all the creatures had finished climbing the Cloud Stone Steps, they would be swept into the Illusionary Realm by a treasure, and directly participate in the fourth level. But, now the fourth level was interrupted for some reason, making the remaining 20,000 living beings all reappear at the nine stone platforms.


    In the Chaoxia Hall, more than ten rainbow lights came from the sky and landed in the luxurious Luanjia. There were also thousands of figures in the Luoxia Mountains that came out of their peaks one after another, heading towards the Luoxia Hall.


    Hundreds of peak masters within the Outer Sect and most of the disciples of the Outer Sect gathered in the Luoxia Hall, but such a grand event was all due to one person.


    "Senior brother, what''s the matter? Why are so many peak masters who are rarely seen showing up and flocking to Tongming Peak together?"


    A disciple of the Outer Sect who had just walked out of the Zongwu Hall on Shanwu Peak looked confused. He gazed at the dense figures in the sky, and grabbed another disciple of the Outer Sect, asking anxiously.


    The disciple looked extremely excited, and said in a low voice, "Someone has walked through the 300th stone step! I heard that there are many big figures appearing from the main sect!"


    After the words fell, he didn''t even look back, and directly drove a magic lotus leaf together with a few other people, and flew towards Tongming Peak.


    "Hey, hey, brother, wait for me!"


    This disciple''s cultivation base was low, and he was unable to use the flying magic weapon. At that time, he could only stand on the stone platform and look at the fleeting lotus leaf. In a moment, there was no one around him.


    Even those "drivers" who earned spirit stones rushed to Tongming Peak to watch the fun, and it was a problem for him to even leave Shanwu Peak at this time.


    ...


    "Ji Yuenian, you can also enter Tongming Peak to cultivate when you are in the Outer Sect. Tongming Peak never recruits disciples, but this time it can make an exception for you."


    The voice of Liao Xun, the deputy peak master of Tongming Peak, was transmitted from a distance, which immediately caused a commotion among countless disciples.


    "Peak Master Liao, I''m afraid your move is inappropriate?" Peak Master Xingyuan, Li Shixuan, looked a little worried. "I just made it clear that I would take him into Xingyuan Peak, but now you intertwine, what is the meaning of this?"


    Liao Xun changed his attitude of not caring about world affairs, and said solemnly, "Peak Master Xingyuan did say it first, but Ji Yuenian did not agree to the proposition, did he?"


    Li Shixuan snorted coldly, shook his white sleeve robe fiercely, turned his head towards Ji Yuenian and said, "Once you enter my Xingyuan Peak to cultivate, not only will you be able to use all resources to cultivate in the Luoxia Mountains of the Outer Sect, but after joining the main sect, the Li family of the Third Mountain range can also support you in cultivating the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline! Ask any peak masters here, ask them if they have the capability to cultivate the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline after leaving the Luoxia Mountains?"


    As a person with a terrifying force behind him, Li Shixuan didn''t care about the ugly scowls directed at him, and he didn''t even save a shred of face for them.


    "Am I qualified?"


    The cool and pleasant voice reverberated, like the sound of nature, and it spread for thousands of miles.


    There was a large sound from a certain direction in the sky, and the sound of clear chirping reverberated through heaven and earth. Nine colorful Luan birds followed in tow behind a snow-white Spirit Luan bird, and a fragrance filled the air. Hundreds of thousands of living beings in the Luoxia Mountains looked up in admiration.


    [ED: Luan Bird--- Luan (mythology) - Wikipedia]


    There were countless silver-white rainbows swirling around the snow-white Luan bird. Nine beautiful girls in white stood on the colorful birds, and they slowly moved their hands in some hand seals, forming a white light that condensed at the central Luan bird, compelling the hanging bead curtain to gradually roll up.


    A white and slender jade peeked out from the curtain, and the owner of the cold voice slowly revealed herself.


    "What a nice view!"


    A disciple in the upper realm of the Nascent Profound Realm raised his head and stared at the woman above the extreme sky, his eyes already a little dull.


    "A celestial being!"


    "Who is she!"


    ...


    Peak Master Xingyuan, Li Shixuan was stunned for a moment, but after a while, he came to his senses, snorted softly, clasped his hands and said, "I have seen Your Highness, the Eclipse Moon."


    "I have seen Your Highness, the Eclipse Moon."


    "I have seen Your Highness, the Eclipse Moon!"


    Countless salutes echoed.


    Taiyu Holy Sect had Six Mountains and Three Realms. Within the six mountain ranges, there was a Holy Son or a Holy Daughter. Their status was extremely respected. Even a great powerhouse at the Divine Sea Realm would have to show some respect.


    What was more, this Saintess, Eclipse Moon, had already cultivated up to the Divine Sea Realm.


    "Although you are the most honored Saintness, to support a bloodline that can be compared with the Grade 3 Heart Fire Sequence, I''m afraid you do not have the qualifications."


    Li Shixuan spoke quietly. Although he was polite, he never gave in.


    After all, even Eclipse Moon herself was some with a superior bloodline, but with only a Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence.


    The Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence was already awesome, just like that monster girl Yu Yan.


    It was just that Ji Yuenian''s bloodline of Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline was too shocking to the world, which made the Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence somewhat lose its sparkle under its shadow.

 Ch. 56 - Tai Qing

    The picturesque brows of the Eclipse Moon were slightly creased. She looked down at Li Shixuan and said, "If I do have the qualifications, then does the Second Mountain qualify?"Li Shixuan shook his head and said, "There are many forces in the Second Mountain that are intertwined, and even with your master''s ability, you can''t convince all these forces. On the other hand, my Li family occupies an absolute position in the Third Mountain, and has the right to make any decisions!"


    The Saintess Eclipse Moon flicked her moon-white gauze sleeves, and said softly,  "Li Shixuan, I am afraid you have made a mistake, this child has been the disciple of Eclipse Peak from the beginning. No mountain or force can change it at this point."


    After the words fell, she lowered her head slightly, looked at the handsome young man in black robe on the stone platform, and said, "Ji Yuenian, have you entered my Eclipse Moon Peak?"


    Li Shixuan snorted coldly, with some contempt in his eyes, "You avoid the things that matter."


    At the same time, countless gazes shifted from Saintess Eclipse Moon to Ji Yuenian. Hundreds of thousands of creatures were almost completely silent, waiting for the answer from the boy who had climbed three hundred stone steps.


    The roaring sound resumed, and several extremely blazing rainbow lights penetrated from the sky far away. Obviously, apart from Saintess Eclipse Moon, other forces came from within the Six Mountains and Three Realms.


    Under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of creatures, Ji Yuenian looked calm, stepped forward and bowed to Saintess Eclipse Moon in white dress, and said, "I have seen Your Majesty, the Eclipse Moon. Although I temporarily lived in the Eclipse Peak before. Within the Eclipse Peak, according to the regulations set by Her Highness the Saintness a long time ago, only after passing the four levels can they be counted as the official disciples of the Eclipse Peak, and the main hall of the Eclipse Peak will only grant the identity token within the peak.


    "But the current assessment has only reached the third level, and the conclusion is still far ahead. I only have a token from the Outer Sect of the Luoxia Mountains, and I do not have the token of the Inner Sect Disciple of the Eclipse Peak. Therefore, at this time I cannot be counted as a disciple of Eclipse Peak."


    Hearing Ji Yuenian''s words, coldness filled Eclipse Moon''s eyes.


    "Ji Yuenian," she said softly, "Don''t you want to enter my mountain? After you have cultivated to the True Dao Realm, you directly enter the Second Mountain, and I will take care of you."


    The word "Take care" was slightly emphasized by the Saintess Eclipse Moon. Coupled with her picturesque, cold and celestial face, many disciples couldn''t help but be a little confused. Staring at the beautiful face of the woman, they almost lost their minds.


    In normal times, she would be rude to almost all the male disciples, but this Ji Yuenian ... was an extremely rare bloodline of the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost! Moreover, before Eclipse Moon came to the Luoxia Mountains, her master had told her that no matter what, she would keep this disciple at the Eclipse Peak!


    It had been tens of thousands of years since the Second Mountain range, the Luyin Mountain, had given birth to a talent with a Grade 3 Heart Fire Sequence,  but Ji Yuenian''s rare feat of walking through 300 stone steps had been notified to the Eclipsed Moon Peak in advance.


    What luck! If Ji Yuenian could not be recruited with such a great advantage, Eclipse Moon would be severely punished after returning to the Second Mountain.


    "Enter my Taiyin Mountain Range, and you will be guaranteed to be crowned as the Holy Son after three hundred years!"


    Layers of cacophony swept from the side of the sky.  A man in a green robe standing on a fiery red sword was rushing towards them, surrounded by heavy sword energy, and he reached the nine stone platforms in an instant.


    As soon as these words came out, not only the hundreds of thousands of creatures were in an uproar, but even hundreds of the peak masters of the Luoxia Mountains from the Outer Sect were shocked. All raised their heads to look at the indomitable man in a green robes.


    The man took back the fierce sword energy that was looming around him. He first glanced at Eclipse Moon with some disdain, and then lowered his head to look at Ji Yuenian carefully, and said with a smile, "How about it? It is the Sixth Mountain of Taiyu Holy Sect. It is not as complicated as the rest of the mountains. Entering my Taiyin Mountain, I can ensure that you inherit the Sixth Mountain as it''s next Holy Son."


    Even Eclipse''s complexion changed slightly. She glanced at the man in the green robe with extreme fear, and bowed reluctantly, saying, "Eclipse Moon has seen Holy Son Tai Qing."


    "What! This person is the Holy Son Tai Qing who ranks first among the six Holy Sons and Saintesses of the Taiyu Holy Sect!?"


    "These are all characters who only exist in hearsay!"


    "The Holy Son Tai Qing is the direct descendant of the Taiyin Sword Vessel. One person and one sword swept across the many Holy Sons and Saintesses of the other five mountains, making the Taiyin Mountain regain their momentum which was lost in the past few thousand years!"


    Most of the peak masters of the various Mountains did not know the green-robed Saint, but after the introduction, they hastily bowed their heads in deep salutation.


    "I heard that this Holy Son has already been ranked among the Divine Sea Realm, and he is extremely murderous. He has even ignored the sect''s punishment many times. If someone is targeted by his random sword attack, I am afraid there is no place left for words and reasoning."


    No one would do such a stupid thing as to exchange his/her own life to confine the green-robed Saint for only a few years.


    Therefore, those mountain peak masters were all servile and extremely cautious.


    "No need to stand in ceremony, why are you looking at me like that?" The green-robed Saint laughed a little, and waved his hand. "I''m not a murderer, and the peak masters don''t need to be so guarded against me."


    Those peak masters were silent, and no one answered his words at all. S?a?ch* Th? n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Peak Master Xingyuan, Li Shixuan took a step forward, laughed dryly, and said, "Your Highness Tai Qing has come here, it''s such a rare occasion."


    "A person from the Li family?" The Holy Son glanced at Li Shixuan, his expression softened a little. "I just happened to be passing by, and I heard that there was someone with the bloodline of a Tong Xuan Heart Ghost who walked took 300 stone steps in the Luoxia Mountains, so I''ve come to check for myself."

 Ch. 57 - The Grey-robed Prisoner

    At the same time, there were several powerful lights flashing closer, but after seeing the green-robed Saint, they all put away their domineering aura and came forward to greet him.Even within the Six Mountains and Three Realms, the Holy Son in green-robe was feared by everyone, and no one dared to be disrespectful to him.


    "Holy Son Tai Qing, Saintness Eclipse Moon, Deacon Jiyou ... I never would''ve imagined that a simple entrance examination would lead to inviting a small half of the forces in the Six Mountains and Three Realms." An old voice spread throughout the sky, and a figure in a gray robe emerged from the sky, and his expression was a little lamenting.


    "I have seen the Mountain Lord!" Many peak masters and disciples of the Outer Sect all saluted one after another, and there was a respectful expression on their faces.


    Even though the vast majority of the Outer Sect Disciples had never seen the gray-robed old man at all, but they already knew the identity of this man, and they bowed their heads and saluted.


    Holy Son Tai Qing''s expression moved slightly, and he said, "Lord of Luoxia Mountain?"


    The old man didn''t care about the rudeness in the tone of the Tai Qing Holy Son, nodded and said, "It is a good thing for a genius to be born within the entrance examination. Everyone must not be drawn to each other, no matter which power this discipline chooses, in the end they are all people of my Taiyu Holy Sect."


    "Mountain Lord, what''s the difference between what you said and what you''re implying?" The person named Jiyou sneered, with a somewhat arrogant expression on his face. "Don''t be pretentious, what do you mean by My Taiyu Holy Sect? Have you forgotten your prisoner status? What''s more, can the minuscule Luoxia Mountain be regarded as a part of Taiyu Holy Sect?"


    After these words were spoken, hundreds of thousands of disciples and even hundreds of peak masters were silent, not daring to make a sound.


    However, the rest of the people from the Six Mountains and Three Realms looked at the gray-robed old man with interest, as if to see how he would react to such disrespectful remarks.


    The Lord of the Luoxia Mountains creased his eyebrows and his voice became deeper and deeper, "Is Deacon Jiyou saying that my Luoxia Mountain Range does not belong to the Taiyu Sect?"


    Jiyou saw that he still had a somewhat wimpy tone, and couldn''t help laughing. "Don''t put a hat on me, you, an old man who has been imprisoned for a long time---"


    Before he could finish uttering those words, his voice stopped abruptly, and the expression on his face become completely stagnant.


    Boom!


    The figure of the gray-robed old man dissipated on the spot, and the next moment he appeared directly in front of Jiyou. Between his palms, he directly crushed Jiyou''s head into countless spots of light!


    "You know that I am a prisoner, and I don''t care about adding more crimes to my name, why do you want to provoke me?"


    The Mountain Lord sighed, his mouth opened in an incredible arc, and Jiyou''s body was devoured in a single bite. After chewing a few times, he swallowed him completely.


    "Bind!" The indifferent mechanical voice spread throughout the sky from the formation that enveloped the Luoxia Mountains, and countless chains of lightning roared, causing the Luoxia Mountain Lord to hide in the invisible space again. S~?a??h the N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    "Since I was sealed in this mountain range as the Mountain L ord, I belong to the Taiyu Holy Sect in both life and death." The low voice of the gray-robed old man gradually faded away, and the few people who came with Jiyou were already stunned, and they had not fully recovered until that time.


    "His Highness Holy Son Tai Qing, Mountain Lord of Luoxia violated the sect rules, don''t you care?!" One of them roared loudly at Holy Son Tai Qing with an angry expression on his face.


    Holy Son Tai Qing had a strange look on his face and said, "According to the law of the Taiyu Holy Sect, he should be slaughtered directly, but ..."


    "But what?"


    "But this person was sealed here by the Qingluo Realm. As the Mountain Lord of the Luoxia Mountains, he cultivated disciples for the sect and as atoned for his crimes."


    Tai Qing laughed. "Even as a Holy Son, I can''t do anything to him. What''s more, although I am also in the Divine Sea Realm, I am not necessarily his opponent."


    The man''s expression became more and more resentful, and he stopped making a noise, but left the Luoxia Mountains directly with a few other people who came with Jiyou.


    A deacon of the True Dao Realm died in the Luoxia Mountains.


    Moreover, it was not a trivial matter to die at the hands of the Mountain Lord.


    "Ji Yuenian, what are you thinking?" Holy Son Ta Qing turned to look at Ji Yuenian, his smile still warm.


    Several other forces from the Six Mountains and Three Realms had lost their desire to fight. After all, they couldn''t promise the position of the Holy Son of a Mountain range, nor were they qualified to promise such a reward.


    "Wait a minute," Eclipse Moon said through gritted teeth, "Ji Yuenian, if you can enter my Luoyin Mountain, I can also go to Master and help you ask for the same!"


    "Your Highness the Eclipse Moon, your promise is too perfunctory." Li Shixuan said from the side, "There is a deeply hidden regulation within the Holy Sect, and not many people know about it, but I just happened to have seen this sect rule that is almost never used."


    Ji Yuenian seemed to think of something, looked up, and met Li Shixuan''s gaze.


    Li Shixuan nodded lightly at him and said with a smile, "It is stated in the regulations that if a creature walks through the three hundred stone steps above the Cloud Stone Steps. After entering the Six Mountains and Three Realms, he can be directly listed as the candidate Holy Son. No additional conditions are required. As far as I know, only a few creatures have been able to meet this regulation for more than 70,000 years."


    Eclipse Moon''s complexion changed one after another, and she said again, "This disciple originally belonged to Eclipse Peak!"


    "What''s the proof?" Li Shixuan shook his head without fear of her status as a Saintness. "Where is the identification token from the peak? Is there any?"


    Eclipse Moon was speechless.


    Li Shixuan turned his head to look at Ji Yuenian and said, "For you, the Sixth Mountain, Taiyin Mountain, is not a bad chance, but there is only one Taiyin Sword Vein, and the direction of cultivation is too unidirectional. My Li family is in the Third Mountain. We have quite a bit of say and power, and all kinds of magic techniques are in our possession; as many as stars.  If you come with us, with the support of the Li family, you will be 70% guaranteed the position of the Holy Son of the Third Mountain."


    Holy Son Tai Qing shook his head. After Li Shixuan said "there is only one Taiyin Sword Vein" he already knew that this disciple would not choose the Sixth Mountain.


    He had already seen the detailed information pertaining to this disciple, and he had even witnessed him taking the 300th step.


    The practice of the Taiyin Sword Vein was different from the rest of the magic techniques. It was necessary to refine all the Shengong, Shenque and Jiangong acupoints into sword meridians. After that, other techniques couldn''t be practiced. Although the power was extremely terrifying, there were also many limitations.

 Ch. 58 - Where the Power Lay

    Ji Yuenian pondered for a moment, bowed to the people from the Six Mountains and Three Realms, and said, "Thanks to all Sect Seniors for coming here. When I was in the Luoxia Mountains, I wanted to enter the Xingyuan Peak to cultivate."Eclipse gave him a deep look, then he directly turned around and went to the Silver Rainbow Imperial Chariot. The nine graceful women drove the Luan birds and left the Luoxia Mountains with a clear chirping sound.


    "Every Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline is extremely rare." Holy Son Tai Qing seemed to imply something with his words, "Before coming to the Luoxia Mountain I went to Taichu to see if there were any others with a similar bloodline but found out ... it was too late, if you have time to spare, go back and take a look."


    After he finished speaking, he went straight to Qingming with a sword, and with a flash, he disappeared in an instant.


    The status of Tai Qing Holy Son was extremely noble. Even the disciples within the Six Mountains and Three Realms rarely see him. The reason he has such amazing patience with Ji Yuenian was that he had a Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline that had ignited the Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence. There was a great possibility for him to ascend the Holy Son''s throne in the future, so there was no harm in leaving a connection behind.


    Li Shixuan, the Master of Xingyuan Peak, with a smile on his face took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to Ji Yuenian, saying: "From now on, you are a General Disciple of Xingyuan Peak (Star Year Peak), and you have the power to enforce the law on over 1,000 disciples within the peak!"


    Each mountain would have several powerful General Disciples to oversee and manage the disciples within it. The general disciples had a great deal of authority and could control various affairs, not only that they could also receive more cultivation resources. The Eclipsed Moon Peak, where Ji Yuenian stayed before, had no General Disciple because of the scarcity of disciples.


    Xingyuan Peak, the sixth-ranked mountain in the Luoxia Mountains, had over 400 Outer Sect Disciples and more than 1,300 Handymen Disciples, so there were 19 General Disciples in it.


    His first step into the Outer Sect was to directly become a disciple of Xingyuan Peak. It could be said that he had rocketed upwards, just from the starting point alone which exceeded the rest of the disciples by a huge margin.


    "Thank you, Peak Master." Ji Yuenian stepped forward and took the token of Xingyuan Peak''s General Disciple and put it away.


    "Peak Master Liao, this fourth level .... what should I do?" Ji Qiong''s gaze moved slightly, and went toward Liao Xun and said in a low voice.


    "Naturally we have to continue, otherwise what will happen to the tens of thousands of disciples who have passed the third level on this stone platform?" Liao Xun looked at the densely packed figures in all directions of Tongming Peak, raised his Profound Energy, and said loudly, "All the Outer Sect Disciples and Handymen disciples, leave Tongming Peak immediately, if you want to watch the entrance examination, you can return to the peak and watch it through the light curtain!"


    "Ji Yuenian, do you still want to take part in the fourth level?"


    Li Shixuan had brought Ji Yuenian to his side long ago. At this time, he watched Liao Xun reopen the light door on the nine stone platforms and smiled sideways.


    "Yes, Peak Master, I''m quite curious about this illusionary level."


    "Then you can go. You''ve reaped a windfall this time, and you need to prepare well in the mountain." Li Shixuan pointed to the lofty light door which was rising above the stone platform, "The usual rewards are special rewards for the superior bloodline, qualification rewards for the Grade 4 Heart Fire, the reward for entering my Xingyuan Peak, and the rewards for General Disciples. The most important is the reward for ranking first in the entrance examination and the even more amazing reward of 300 stone steps. In addition, there should be several other rewards, even I can''t remember them."


    Ji Yuenian nodded his head, then bowed towards the Peak Master Xingyuan, and leaped towards the stone platform below.


    The Imperial Chariot was just 10 meters above the ground, Ji Yuenian''s black robe fluttered and danced, and there was a natural yin of heaven and earth under his feet, and he landed firmly on the ground.


    "Senior Brother Ji, can you leave your communication jade talisman?" A young man in a Taoist robe hurried over, holding a jade talisman high in his hand, with an anxious and desperate look on his face.


    Ji Yuenian frowned, just as he was about to speak, another man came over beside him, directly put the jade talisman in his hand, and said with a smile, "I have admired Senior Brother Ji for a long time, so I will leave a transmission jade talisman for now. I hope senior brother will not refuse." S~?a??h the ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    "Senior Brother Ji!" A pretty girl in a bright red dress leaned over with a blushing face.


    "Senior Brother Ji ..."


    Ji Yuenian landed on the stone platform for only a few breaths, but unexpectedly dozens of disciples rushed frantically, wanting to give him the communication jade talisman.


    "The light door is about to close." Ji Yuenian said softly while pointing to the light door in the center of the stone platform, which gradually dimmed.


    This remark had little effect, and even the members standing on the other eight stone platforms were frequently watching him with eager eyes. If it weren''t for barriers between the nine stone platforms, he was afraid that some of these people would''ve directly rushed over long ago.


    Ji Yuenian has been identified as a candidate Holy Son, and he might be listed as the Holy Son of the Six Mountains in the future. If one could be lucky enough to befriend him within the Luoxia Mountains, then it would be unimaginable help for one''s future cultivation.


    This was not a facile act of favoritism, but within the nature of living spirits to seek profit and avoid harm.


    No matter what the outcome was, if it could bring benefits to cultivation, then it was worth trying.


    The people who eagerly handed in the jade talisman were not stupid. On the contrary, those disciples who were proud of their status, while saying disdainful words, could not stop the sourness in their hearts.


    Ji Yuenian shook his head slightly, flicked his sleeve, and put away all the dozens of jade talismans, saying: "That''s it, I''ll head to the fourth level assessment, if it''s too late, I won''t make it."


    "Yes, Senior Brother Ji!"


    "Senior Brother Ji, I will find a way to enter the Xingyuan Peak and follow you!"


    Those who had their jade talismans accepted were excited and spoke with great respect.


    After Ji Yuenian entered the light gate first, they followed closely into the light gate.


    Seeing Ji Yuenian take those jade talismans away with him, those disciples who had previously prided themselves on their status had a change of  expression slightly and could not help but regret in their hearts.

 Ch. 59 - Lin An

    "Cousin-uncle, what happened to you?"An incredulous voice came into his ears. Ji Yuenian opened his eyes, and all he saw were more than ten disciples of the Nascent Profound Realm. They were standing below with a respectful look on their faces. The person who spoke just now was a rebellious young man, and closest to himself.


    Countless unfamiliar memories poured into his mind. Ji Yuenian was silent for a long time, but a little doubt gradually filled his eyes.


    Wasn''t this fourth level temporarily clouding up his original memory?


    Thinking of the inexplicable smile of the Peak Master Xingyuan when he got down from the chariot, Ji Yuenian figured out what was happening at the moment.


    Although the fourth level did not take up much weight in the overall ranking of the examination, it could reflect the disciple''s attitude towards the clan very clearly. In some aspects, it was extremely important.


    Peak Master Xingyuan, Li Shixuan, should be afraid that he would encounter some accident and may not be able to meet his expectations in the final level. So played some unknown tricks to prevent his memory from being temporarily erased. In this fourth level, it was no different from cheating!


    "I''m fine," Ji Yuenian raised his head and looked around at the dozen or so disciples who had entered the Profound Realm for a week, "Let''s go, it''s time for us to go to Lin''an Town."


    In this illusionary realm, he was an old man who had returned to the original realm. His name was Zhao Yan, and his position was an ordinary deacon among the outer sects, now he was taking his disciples to collect spiritual taxes in Lin''an.


    "Yes, Lord Deacon."


    The disciples responded in unison, and their faces were filled with excitement.


    A rebellious young man stepped forward and whispered beside Ji Yuenian: "Cousin-uncle, this Lin''an Town is desolate and secluded, and so far there is no sight of human. Is there any problem?"


    Ji Yuenian glanced at him and knew that his name was Zhao Mu, a descendant of Zhao Yan''s clan.


    "Don''t worry, just go straight into town."


    Because of his memory, he knew very well that the most important thing about this trip to Lin''an Town was the collection of spiritual tax, and there would be no other variables.


    "Yes, Cousin-uncle."


    Zhao Mu answered, and then instructed the disciples who were left behind, "Walk faster! Do you want the deacon to wait for you?"


    Lin''an Town was so desolate that almost half of the spiritual fields and grains planted outside the town had withered away. Even when Ji Yuenian and his party entered the town, the street was deserted, with very few people in sight.


    "Where is the Lin''an Town guard!?"


    Zhao Mu with his Profound Energy leaped and stood on the stone platform in the center of the town. His voice spread throughout Lin''an Town.


    As Zhao Mu''s voice fell, the rustling sound came from all directions.


    And many pitch-black bugs emerged, rushing towards Ji Yuenian and others!


    "Black-armored stone worms, they like to eat spiritual grains, and spiritual rice," Ji Yuenian''s cultivation surged out. He casually condensed a solid blue light curtain, looking down at the black insects that pounced on the light curtain, "Lin''an town looked so desolated, it seems to have a lot to do with these black-armored stone worms."


    "Lin''an Town guard, is here, Lord Deacon."


    A feeble voice came over from a house dozens of feet away, an elderly man lifted a tile, climbed out from the roof, and bowed to Ji Yuenian and others.


    At the same time, the sound of tiles being lifted was heard one after another, and not long after, the mortals in Lin''an town were either standing or sitting on the roofs. S~?a??h the ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    These people were all pallid, skinny, and seemed like they were dying. The reason some people "sat" on the roof was that they had no strength to stand up at all. Even the effort it took to climb the roof had nearly caused their deaths.


    Zhao Mu''s complexion changed slightly, he reprimanded: "You''re the Lin''an town''s guard? Why didn''t you report that there was a black beetle infestation in this town? You deserve death!"


    The old man laughed bitterly and said, "Calm down. These black insects come and go without a trace. They eat most of the spiritual fields and valleys outside the town, and sometimes they even eat the living! Fortunately, they do not seem to climb high, as long as we hide by climbing the top of the beams of our houses when the insects come, we can save our lives."


    "I''m asking why you didn''t report it! What should we do with the spiritual tax of the upper clan when the spiritual grain and spiritual rice are all eaten up?" At every word, Zhao Mu''s face became colder and colder.


    The Lin''an town''s guard looked bitter and shook his head, "Although the previous deacon left a jade talisman for communication, I accidentally lost the instruction on how to use it, so I can''t activate it at all."


    He was just an ordinary mortal, and to activate the communication jade talisman one needs a very special method.


    "Forget it," Ji Yuenian spoke softly, "Town''s guard we''re here to collect spiritual tax. According to the law of the Taiyu Holy Sect, insect plagues can be regarded as a disaster. For the time being, this factor is excluded, and you only need to pay 80% of all spiritual grains and spiritual rice for the past ten years."


    Every ten years, the Taiyu Holy Sect would collect 80% of the spirit tax from the countless territories under its rule. This has been the case for tens of thousands of years and was one of the sources of the sect''s cultivation resources.


    The Lin''an town''s guard''s face turned hideous, he directly knelt on the roof trembling, and said, "I''m guilty, Your Highness!"


    Before Ji Yuenian could say anything, Zhao Mu beside him asked, "What''s wrong with you?"


    Tears welled up in the eyes of Lin''an town''s guard, sobbing: "There was an insect plague some time ago, these pitch-black insects poured into the town, it not only swallowed up most of the spiritual tax accrued over the years but also took the lives of many of my townspeople!!"


    Ji Yuenian frowned slightly and said, "Didn''t I just say that the insect plague can be regarded as an accidental disaster? The sect only needs the remaining 80% of the spiritual tax in Lin''an town, given the circumstances."


    "Lord Deacon, please," the town''s guard trembled, kept kowtowing on the roof of the house. His forehead seeping blood.  "If it was before the insect plague, once our Lin''an town paid 80% of the spiritual tax, then the remaining spiritual rice and grain were enough for us to survive. But now it has become tough to even survive, if the sect takes away 80% of the remaining spiritual rice, ... I''m afraid our whole town will starve to death ah!"


    The people who were standing on the rooftops knelt and kowtowed to Ji Yuenian and the others.


    "You and the rest go gather the remaining spiritual rice, spiritual grains and spiritual grasses in the town and take stock of them."


    Ji Yuenian shook his head and turned towards Zhao Mu and the others and ordered.


    "Yes, Lord Deacon!"


    Zhao Mu and several of the disciples were all surrounded by Profound Energy, rushing out of the light shield, and stepping into the dense sea of ??pitch-black insects.


    These insects could eat mortals, but they couldn''t do anything to the living beings who had ignited their Heart Fires. They only felt a bit gross when they looked at the insects.


    Among the disciples, a charming girl dressed in red showed a look of reluctance and did not move forward, but went up to Ji Yuenian and said, "Lord Deacon, it looks like they don''t have much spirit grain left, why don''t we take less this time and help them eliminate the insect plague, and then make up for it in the next ten years."


    Ji Yuenian glanced at her sideways, and thoughts churned in his mind.


    The woman had already violated the sect rules by disobeying orders, and this was obviously a trap.


    If he followed her advice, then his evaluation in this fourth level assessment would drop drastically!


    "How dare you!"


    Ji Yuenian''s Profound Energy in the Realm of Returning to the Truth surged violently, and it directly wrapped around the girl in red!


    Boom!

 Ch. 60

    This girl''s cultivation level was only at the first stage of the Profound realm. She was no match for Deacon "Zhao Yan" who was at the Return to the Truth realm, as a result, she was directly swept dozens of feet away and smashed into a house in Lin''an town with a scream. Her life and death were unknown."Lord Deacon, don''t be angry!"


    His sudden move frightened the remaining disciples, their eyes were full of disbelief and fear.


    Since arriving at the Lin''an town, the deacon''s temperament had changed. As if he was a completely different person from what he had been, there was no longer any trace of his previous kindness.


    "Help Zhao Mu to collect all the spirit fields, spirit grasses, spirit grains, and spirit rice in the town, and take 80% of them as spirit tax."


    As soon as Ji Yuenian''s words fell, the disciples scurried away, and no one dared to stay there even a minute.


    "Lord Deacon, I beg you, there is not much spiritual grain left in the town. If you take away 80%, we will all starve to death!" The Lin''an town''s guard trembled on the roof, his eyes full of despair.


    Ji Yuenian glanced at him, but found some clues on the guard''s face.


    The grief on his face didn''t look phoney. The grass and trees in Lin''an town were even more real.


    The most important thing was that his psychic flame actually had a phantom in the shrine acupoint! If he was in the illusion, the psychic flame would not manifest at all. Is the illusion in this fourth level really so miraculous?


    Or maybe ...  This is no illusion at all!


    Inside the Chaoxia Hall.


    Peak Master Xingyuan, Li Shixuan, was looking at "Zhao Yan" who was possessed by Ji Yuenian through the light curtain. At this time, seeing a thoughtful look on Zhao Yan''s face, a smile formed on his lips, and he said to himself: "This disciple is really smart. Although I helped him retain his memory, it is not easy to see through the illusions and discern the reality behind."


    In reality, the fourth level entrance examination was never an illusion, but rather a technique of twin spirit enchantment performed by an exceptionally precious treasure. Which temporarily attached the soul of the participant to the disciple who had been arranged by this treasure in advance. When the disciples woke up, they could directly complete the examination based on the temporary memory infusion!


    This time, the person who opened this treasure happened to be Li Shixuan, the Peak Master Xingyuan. Therefore, he could secretly protect Ji Yuenian''s memory and let him enchant "Zhao Yan" with his memory intact and not be blinded by the spiritual light of this treasure.


    After realizing that this place wasn''t an illusion through the abnormality of the psychic flame, Ji Yuenian couldn''t help but sigh at the profound heritage of the Taiyu Holy Sect.


    The entrance examination cost too much. The art of enchanting two disciples out of tens of thousands of people consumed countless resources. It was the only way of picking disciples who were loyal to the sect that abided the sect rules.


    In this way, everything that happened in Lin''an town was true, but it was just that he didn''t know which ancient city ruled this town.


    The townspeople were afraid of the dense black-armored stone worms on the ground and didn''t dare to climb down from the roof. They only watched Zhao Mu and Chu Lun and others who brought out all the spirit valley spirit objects. They  gathered them all in the center of the town.


    After one incense stick.


    "Lord Deacon, the stocktaking has been completed."


    Chu Lun stepped forward, pointing at the large pile of spirit grain and spirit materials in the center of the platform: "In the past ten years, Lin''an Town has harvested 75 stalks of spirit-enhancing grass, 68 jins of Yang spirit rice, 5 stalks of spirit-gathering grass, and 140 jins of Yi Qi rice. As for Heling grass ... not a single one."


    Zhao Mu''s face was unsightly, and he arched his hand towards Ji Yuenian and said, "Cousin-uncle, the Lin''an townspeople have been deceiving us too much! They dare use the sect''s spiritual tax as ration!"


    Ji Yuenian pondered for a moment and asked the Lin''an town''s guard: "Town''s guard, let me ask you. The Heling Grass is the only kind of entry-level spiritual grass given by the upper clan, and you were specially instructed to take good care of it. It stands to reason that after ten years there should''ve been at least ten plants in production. But, why is there not a single stalk of Heling Grass here?"


    Zhao Mu from the side snared: "The Heling Grass is an entry-level spirit grass, these black-armored stone worms won''t approach it! Don''t use the insect disaster as an excuse!"


    The Lin''an town''s guard had a bitter expression on his face and remained silent for a long time before slowly opening his mouth and said, "I''ll tell you, sir. During the previous insect plague, several townspeople were bitten by the black-armored stone insects, and they struggled to escape. However, their body was severely damaged. I saw that a few of them were too young, so I took off the few Heling Grass plants and fed them."


    "You''re unscrupulous!" Zhao Mu''s face turned into the shade of a pig''s liver. "Even if these spirit objects are added up, they would not amount much in currency, but they are all sect''s belongings. What qualifications do you have to misappropriate them without permission!"


    The Lin''an town''s guard was frightened by him and could no longer stand up. He slipped on a tile, slumped down on the roof, and fell into the sea of ??black beetles.


    Ten minutes later, the old man''s flesh and blood had completely disappeared, leaving only a pile of white bone on the ground.


    Ji Yuenian frowned slightly, asked, "The commoners under the sect''s rule have arbitrarily used an entry-level elixir; the Heling Grass. How do you deal with it within the sect''s rules?"


    Zhao Mu said angrily, "Reporting to uncle, we should kill them all to set an example."


    Heling grass wasn''t valuable, even ten of them couldn''t be exchanged for one prime stone, but the sect rules were ruthless, the laws were like the heavens. As long as the sect''s possessions were tampered, it was a capital crime, and there was never any leeway.


    Since he entered the Taiyu Holy Sect, he had to abide by its regulations, and Ji Yuenian was very clear about this.


    And he also knew very well that there were countless eyes, even the entire Luoxia Mountains, were looking at his every move through the light curtain in the Chaoxia Hall.


    No mistake can be made.


    "Zhao Mu, Chu Lun." Ji Yuenian looked like an old man, and he said in a deep voice, flicking his sleeves.


    "The disciple is here!"


    "Everyone in this Lin''an town will be disposed of according to the sect''s rules."


    "This ... is!"


    After a stick of incense.


    "Lord Deacon, what about Hong Ying?" Chu Lun stepped forward, holding a dying girl in red in his hand.


    It was the female disciple who had violated the law not long ago.


    Ji Yuenian glanced at him indifferently, but did not respond, but turned to Zhao Mu and asked, "Who asked you to collect everything?"


    Zhao Mu held a storage ring in his hand, his gaze slightly stunned, said: "Cousin-uncle, there are no people left in the Lin''an town. There is no point ..."


    "Leave 20%," Ji Yuenian said, "The sect only needs 80% of the spiritual tax, and the rest will not be taken."


    Zhao Mu bowed his head and replied, "Yes, Cousin-uncle."


    Just as Zhao Mu put 20% of the spirit materials back into the center of the stone platform of Lin''an town, which was dead, a brilliant incandescent white light coalesced from the sky and enveloped Ji Yuenian.


    A few moments later, this bright white halo disappeared into the void, and Deacon "Zhao Yan" slowly came to his senses.


    "Cousin-uncle, what happened to you?" Zhao Mu stepped forward and looked concerned.


    Zhao Yan shook his head, knowing in his heart that the disciple who participated in the assessment had been released from his spiritual possession, so he didn''t say much and just smiled, "Nothing."


    But after seeing the dying girl in red, Zhao Yan''s expression changed dramatically, he stepped forward and held her in his arms, and asked anxiously, "Who did this?"


    When Zhao Mu, Chu Lun and the others heard this, they looked at each other in confusion.


    Luoxia Hall.


    Ji Yuenian opened his eyes, and what he saw was numerous light curtains traversing the nine stone platforms!


    This was the overall ranking of the entrance examination!


    At the same time, countless gazes were directed at Ji Yuenian, and countless comments were heard!


    "Fourth level evaluation: Excellent!!"


    "This disciple''s performance in the illusionary realm has no flaws at all, it was perfect!"


    "This is the first time I''ve heard of such an evaluation within the examination!"


    "Generally, the disciples are either low grade: low, mediocre, and---occasionally--upper grades. However, this Ji Yuenian''s "excellent" is really ..."


    "Ji Yuenian will definitely be ranked first!"


    As the disciples walked out from the light gate one after another, the vast list that stretched across the sky also changed slightly, with tens of thousands of names scrolling on it in a dense mass.


    "It''s out! It''s coming out! Look!"


    "First!!!"


    "Sure enough!"


    Countless people looked towards the top of the list.


    At the top, a line of blazing golden characters appeared distorted, attracting the attention of hundreds of thousands of people in the Luoxia Mountains.


    "The first place in the entrance examination, Ji Yuenian."


    On the right side of it, there were dozens of small words densely marked.


    "Ji Yuenian, from the 18th city of Taichu, Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline, Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence; Upper Profound realm." S?a??h th? ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.

    "Fourth level evaluation: Excellent."

 Ch. 61

    "Junior Brother Ji! It turned out the rumored person with the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline is actually you." Jiao Xiuyu, stood quietly in the Eclipse Moon Peak atrium, looking up at the huge light curtain list with a complex expression on his face."If I had known this, I would''ve befriended you earlier!" Xu Yan, Li Zhao, and others were also dumbfounded by this newly found information.  A lot of discussions ensued outside, as they walked out of their attic courtyard, looking at the ranking list.


    "Senior Brother Jiao, I heard that you have some friendship with Senior Brother Ji. If you have time, can you introduce me to him?" An atrium disciple approached with an ingratiating look and spoke cautiously towards Jiao Xiuyu.


    Jiao Xiuyu glanced at him, but before he could say anything, almost all the disciples in the Eclipse Moon Peak atrium swarmed over. Surrounding Jiao Xiuyu like a star on the moon, their words were full of flattery.


    "Senior Brother Jiao, can you give me a piece of Senior Brother Ji''s Communication Jade Talisman? I am willing to exchange it for five primeval stones!" A disciple gritted his teeth and took out several Yuan stones from his storage bag.


    "Senior Brother Jiao, I heard you have a close relationship with Junior Brother Ji. Even today, you personally sent him to Tongming Peak''s, Luoxia Hall to participate in the assessment. Senior Brother has an unkind request ..."


    "Senior Brother Jiao ..."


    Since Jiao Xiuyu entered the Eclipse Moon Peak, all he had encountered was cold words and seclusion, but now he was treated with such enthusiasm by these disciples, which made him feel a little at a loss for a while.


    "A group of people who follow the power trend, are you blind or deaf? That Ji Yuenian has already chosen the Xingyuan Peak to pursue cultivation within the Outer Sect. I''m afraid this proud Demon who walked through the 300 stone steps will not return to the Eclipse Moon Peak again."


    The sound of laughter spread throughout the atrium, and the disciples all turned their heads and glared at the person who opened his mouth.


    The man didn''t care about the disciples'' gaze, he just looked at Jiao Xiuyu with some pity, while saying, "Jiao Xiuyu, as a demon, you suffered a lot of injustice in this human-led sect. Yet you still work hard to protect those new disciples. I really don''t know what your actions mean! I advise you, in the future, you may have a chance to break into the realm of Returning to the Truth, if you continue to be so kind ..."


    Jiao Xiuyu pulled out a smile and said, "Senior Brother Liu, I know."


    With a snort, Senior Brother Liu turned around and left the atrium.


    "Is it true that Junior Brother Ji won''t go back to Eclipse Moon Peak?" Most of the disciples quickly cooled down, except for a few who stayed encircled around Jiao Xiuyu, hoping for an answer.


    "Indeed, Junior Brother Ji choose Xingyuan Peak, and it''s a good thing to be able to get away from Eclipse Moon Peak." Jiao Xiuyu sighed, "Eclipse Moon Peak has never had a real peak master at the helm. This led to the disciples in the peak having to work hard on their own to break into the realm of Returning to the Truth. Which is unsuitable for an enchanting genius like Junior Brother Ji."


    After hearing this, the disciples gradually scattered away, leaving only Li Zhao and Xu Yan, who had coaxed Ji Yuenian earlier to remain by Jiao Xiuyu''s side. One of them asked, "Senior Brother Jiao, what is your relationship with that Ji Yuenian? Now that he has shown his amazing qualities, risen to the top, and has become a candidate Holy Son, such that we are not even qualified to look up to him. Are you not able to glean the slightest bit of advantage to your name?"


    Xu Yan from the side said sourly: "Yeah, it''s all thanks to Senior Brother Jiao. Today, you turned into your demonic form and took Ji Yuenian to Luoxia Hall to participate in the assessment. Now that this brute has gained power, he has forgotten all his fellow disciples in the Eclipse Moon Peak, it is really disgusting!"


    At the end of the day, they were just trying to gain some advantage. But now, even Jiao Xiuyu, who was most familiar with Ji Yuenian, was not sure whether the candidate Holy Son would return to the Eclipse Moon Peak again. Which further swept away any hopes of this atrium disciples trying to climb the ladder of hierarchy.


    Jiao Xiuyu shook his head and said, "I didn''t help Junior Brother Ji much to ask for anything in return. It''s enough that I have a clear conscience going down the path of cultivation."


    After speaking, he ignored Li Zhao and Xu Yan, and the others turned around and walked towards his attic. S?a?ch* Th? Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    "Brother Ji."


    "Greetings, Brother Ji."


    Countless salutations echoed in his ears, and Ji Yuenian surrounded by Yin Qi of heaven and earth just stepped out, jumped several meters high, and landed on top of Peak Master Xingyuan, Li Shixuan''s Imperial Chariot.


    "You performed excellently in the fourth level assessment." Li Shixuan gave him a deep look and said in a meaningful tone, "The ''illusion'' had been recorded by the jade artifact. This will be a great benefit for your future when compete for the position of the Third Mountain Range''s Holy Son."


    "Thank you, Peak Master Xinguan." Ji Yuenian bowed to Li Shixuan and thanked him.


    "No need to be polite," Li Shixuan pointed to the Chaoxia Hall in the distance, "The top 100 disciples of the entrance examination will be rewarded in the Chaoxia Hall, I will take you there."


    Ji Yuenian nodded, then the imperial chariot under his feet trembled, and after a few breaths, it turned into a rainbow of light, and went straight into the Chaoxia Hall on the Tongming Peak.


    When seeing Li Shixuan''s  imperial chariot driving past to the hall, many of the disciples standing below were envious and talked among themselves.


    After the examination, the main peak master personally took him into the Chaoxia Hall. What an honor!


    Disciples who scored within 5,000 in the entrance examination were all rewarded. However, the rewards were divided into several grades, one grade between 5,000 -- 2,000, and one grade between 2,000 -- 1,000, which were the two worst rewards in comparison.


    The rewards for the 1,000th to 500th places were much better than these two grades, and the rewards for the 500th to 100th places were enough to make even the Outer Disciples of the Upper Profound Realm jealous!


    An ordinary disciple of the Outer Sect only had two primeval stones as a monthly share of resource, while the reward for the five hundred to one hundred, there were as many as ten for a single unit stone!


    An ordinary disciple of the Outer Sect only had two primeval stones as a monthly allotted resource, while the reward for those who were ranked in between 500 and 100 would be as many as 10 stones!


    As for the top 100, it was given by the many peak masters in the Great Chaoxia Hall. Most importantly, it was the time for the 10 top peaks of the Luoxia mountain Range and several other unique peaks to choose their disciples.


    Inside the great Chaoxia Hall.


    Unlike Ji Yuenian, who was personally picked by the Peak Master Xingyuan, the rest of the disciples all came on foot from the Luoxia Hall. They only managed to reach the Chaoxia Hall after a full two incense sticks of time and entered one after another, standing quietly on one side; awaiting orders from the peak masters.


    More than ten peak masters were sitting on top of the honorable seats, and their eyes shuttled back and forth within these 100 disciples.


    On the other hand, Ji Yuenian stood alone on one side of the hall, separate from the other ninety-nine disciples. Currently, the other ninety-nine people were all looking at Ji Yuenian with complex eyes, with varying expressions.


    The second place was Yu Yan.


    Liu Baishui of the Liu family of Xiangcheng was in seventh place.


    As well as the Lu family''s Lu Changye, and the deer demon Lu Mingxi were ranked tenth.

 Ch. 62 - Shen Mu

    "Where is Ji Yuenian?"After about an incense stick of time, Liao Xun, the deputy peak master of Tongming Peak, emerged from the Chaoxia Hall''s inner chamber.


    Ji Yuenian stepped forward and greeted him, "Ji Yuenian has seen Peak Master Liao."


    Liao Xun''s eyes were a little inexplicable, and he shook his head and said. "No need to be polite, you have passed the 300th step of the Cloud Stone Steps this time. The reward you deserve, according to the rules of the sect, isn''t available in the Luoxia Mountains. So I made a trip to the Qingluo Realm of the Six Mountains and Three Realms through the Spirit Transmission Array. I''ve informed them of the events and have brought back the reward you deserve."


    After a pause, he continued: "Master Shen Mu in Qingluo Realm saw your performance in the fourth level, and he is very optimistic about you, so he gave you an additional reward."


    After the words were said, he nodded towards a disciple at the True Dao Realm, who was following behind him.


    The disciple walked towards Ji Yuenian, took out two exquisite storage bags, and said: "Xingyuan peak''s Ji Yuenian, these two storage bags are your additional rewards for your superior bloodline as well as for your Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence."


    Ji Yuenian stepped forward and accepted the two heavy storage bags.


    The storage bag was just an ordinary bag with limited space to store things. Its actual weight was reduced to a fixed weight. Such as if the bag contained ten pounds worth of objects, it would weight only one pound when carrying, if it was twenty pounds worth of objects, then the weight would be two pounds.


    The two storage bags in his hand weighted 4 or 5 times that, indicating the content inside should be at least dozens of pounds.


    After the two bags, the disciples took out 3 brown storage bags and handed them over to Ji Yuenian. "This is the reward for entering Xingyuan Peak, the reward for serving as a General Disciple, and the additional reward from Xingyuan Peak''s master, Li Shixuan."


    Li Shixuan, standing  on the side, nodded towards Ji Yuenian, and the latter thanked him while putting away the three slightly lighter storage bags.


    "This storage ring contains a splendid cloth as reward for taking the first place in the sect entrance examination!" The disciple took out a somewhat antique ring, and handed it to him, there was a hint of envy in his eyes.


    In fact, it was not only him who was envious, the ninety-nine disciples waiting for the reward also looked at the ring in envy.


    After Ji Yuenian put away the ring, the disciple carefully took out an incandescent magic seal. , "This is the reward for walking through the 300 stone steps of the Cloud Stone Steps. You are the eighth person to receive this reward in the tens of thousands of years in the history of the Taiyu Holy Sect."


    This was the seal that Liao Xun, the deputy peak master of Tongming Peak, had just gone to retrieve from Qingluo Realm.


    "Storage magic seal!!!"


    "What kind of reward is it that you have to use a storage seal to hold it!"


    "A single storage seal is worth a fortune!"


    The eyes of nearly a hundred disciples in the hall turned red in jealousy as they looked at the small, but exquisite magic seal, wishing they could go forward and grab it directly.


    The storage seal was an extremely precious storage magic weapon, which could be transformed from real to virtual and directly incorporated into the Divine Palace. It would never be taken away from its owner unless he or she dies completely!


    Its value far exceeded those physical storage magic weapons. Even the most common storage magic seal was worth at least three hundred primeval stones!


    Being able to walk through the 300 steps of the stone steps in the sect entrance examination was really too shocking. Because of the special nature of his Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline, the Qingluo Realm had slightly adjusted this reward. Also, intentionally or unintentionally, added a little more of some items, making the things ?in this storage seal even more precious!


    Ji Yuenian took over the storage seal that glowed with dazzling profound light. He soon understood how to use this magic seal. With the slight command in his mind, all the storage bags and storage jade rings on his body were included in the incandescent white magic seal. And it gradually disappeared into his brow under the flow of light.


    "This is an additional reward personally bestowed by the head of Qingluo Realm''s Shen Mu."


    Once again the disciple took out an exquisite and gorgeous storage ring, even his fingers trembled a little.


    Ji Yuenian stepped forward to take the storage ring, put it in the storage seal between the eyebrows, and saluted: "Thank you, Master Shen Mu."


    Xingyuan Peak Master Li Shixuan said: "Ji Yuenian you don''t have to be polite. Although the head Shen Mu is one of the several ancestors of my Li family, this time he gave an extra reward not because you chose the Li family, but because of your amazing performance in the fourth test. Your actions are in line with the old man''s views on the law of sectarianism, so Shen Mu appreciates you very much."


    Liu Baishui''s complexion was complicated and whispered to the disciple beside him: "Qingluo Realm is one of the three realms of the Taiyu Holy Sect, and the head, Shen Mu, is the best among the heads of Qingluo Realm. With his and the Li family''s support behind, Ji Yuenian will very likely aspire to the throne of the Holy Son of the Third Mountain in the future!"

 Ch. 63 - Lu Mingxi

    Many a disciple discussed the proceeding, and the envy in their eyes was not something that could be concealed.¡°As for these, it is a ranking reward for all grades of the entrance examination. Those who are in the top ten in the overall ranking can get one copy each, and the one who rank first can get two copies.¡±


    The disciple took out eight ordinary storage bags again and put them in Ji Yuenian''s hands.


    ¡°There are also regular rewards and additional rewards for the disciples of the Outer Sect who pass the assessment.¡±


    There were three ordinary storage bags that were relatively featureless.


    As for the nearly 100 other disciples in the hall, they were already almost numb at this time.


    Looking at Ji Yuenian putting away all these storage bags, they did not have much of a reaction at this point.


    The disciple seemed to be relieved as well. He took out the last item, and said with a smile, ¡°This is an extra reward given by the Lord of the Luoxia Mountains to the first ranker in the entrance examination, a superb psychic magic weapon.¡±


    This was a Landscape Painting Scroll.


    The first ranker in each sect entrance examination would receive additional rewards from Luoxia Mountain Lord. Although this mountain lord was a prisoner, he had always been very concerned about everything in the mountain range. These rewards had never been perfunctory.


    Ji Yuenian took the picture scroll and felt a little startled when he noticed the rich Profound Energy surging in it.


    This treasure was called Liangyi Landscape Chart, and it was even more precious than his Edict Ebony Sword!


    The psychic magic weapon was a rank higher than the ordinary magic weapon. Every psychic magic weapon was extremely precious, and most of the disciples in the Luoxia Mountains had never owned a psychic magic weapon.


    The value of the Ebony Sword was about 130 primeval stones, and the value of this top-quality psychic magic weapon, the two-meter landscape map, was at least more than 400 primeval stones!


    Yu Yan bit her lip lightly, looking at the two-meter landscape map, her expression was full of heartache.


    The reason this kind of psychic magic array type weapon was precious was that it not only had unparalleled killing power, but also had many functions such as sealing, suppressing, trapping, protecting, and forming arrays. It could be said to be comprehensive and incomparable!


    After a while, she seemed to think of something again, and she looked at Ji Yuenian with more annoyance.


    According to the promise on the Climbing Cloud Stone Steps, I still owe him a psychic magic weapon!


    As the direct bloodline descendant of the Yu family in the Hui Yao Mountain, Yu Yan came to Taiyu Holy Sect to participate in the assessment. She only brought more than 300 primeval stones with her, and the only psychic magic weapon she possessed was her own umbrella.


    Where can I find another psychic magic weapon?


    Thinking of this, Yu Yan''s thoughts turned more and more chaotic, and she didn''t even notice that the disciple calling her name many times.


    ¡°Where is Yu Yan!¡±


    There was a little impatience in the tone of the True Dao Realm disciple.


    Liu Baishui walked to Yu Yan''s side, gently pushed her, and said in a low voice, ¡±Yu Yan, all the peak masters are above, what are you doing?¡±


    Yu Yan came back to her senses, hurriedly took a step forward, and saluted the disciple who was in the True Dao Realm. ¡°Senior brother.¡±


    ¡°Well, these are your rewards, take them.¡±


    The disciple didn''t say much, just took out a lot of storage bags and threw them towards Yu Yan.


    As the second ranker in the sect entrance examination with even more rare Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence, Yu Yan should have received immeasurable attention from the Luoxia Mountains. However, due to the existence of Ji Yuenian, she was slighted in this examination. S?a??h the N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°There it is!¡±


    Yu Yan never cared that the disciple treated her differently from Ji Yuenian, but put away all the storage bags with a hint of joy in her heart.


    These rewards were stacked together, and they could definitely be similar to three or even four psychic magic weapons. In this way, a psychic magic weapon that she owed Ji Yuenian was no longer a problem.


    As for the matter of relying on the debt, she never thought about it.


    Not to mention that the Yu family was also a top-level water demon cultivation family in the Hui Yao Mountains under the rule of the Taiyu Holy Sect. Yu Yan''s own dignity alone did not allow her to rely on a mere psychic magic weapon.


    The cultivation families of demon spirits in these mountains were completely different from the cultivating families in the ancient city of Taichu. They only had three hundred spirit stones, and the two couldn''t be compared at all.


    The rewards in the Chaoxia Hall were given out one by one. All of these top 100 disciples were all happy, and the many peak masters above the rank also discussed with each other, and successively selected the ones they were optimistic about.


    In the end, apart from Ji Yuenian, two of these hundred people entered Xingyuan Peak to cultivate.


    Because Ji Yuenian chose Xingyuan Peak, Li Shixuan could not compete with other peak masters for the remaining disciples, so he just chose a female disciple who was ranked in the two digits.


    The other person who entered the peak was the blood descendant of the Xuanyuan Peak Master, the deer demon, Lu Mingxi.


    This person voluntarily entered the Xingyuan Peak to cultivate under discussion with Peak Master Xuanyuan. At that time, he was standing beside Ji Yuenian, and he kept talking.


    ¡°Senior Brother Ji, I gave up on Xuanyuan Peak where my ancestors were located, and came to Xingyuan Peak with the purpose of following you. From now on, you will be the only one I will follow!¡±


    ¡°Senior Brother Ji, can you lend me a look at that Liangyi Landscapes Chart? Although I''m from a good background, I''ve never touched such a superb psychic magic weapon. I''m very curious.¡±


    ¡°Senior Brother Ji ¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Lu Mingxi was chattering in his ear, and Ji Yuenian was a little annoyed. He took out the Liangyi Landscapes Chart between his palms and threw it to him, saying, ¡°Take it, and shut up.¡±

 Ch. 64 - Wangxing

    Lu Mingxi held the palm-sized scroll, and feeling the tyrannical and complex layers of forbidden formations in it, said: ¡°Is this the best psychic magic weapon there is? It really deserves its reputation!¡±The other female disciple standing beside the two was named Liu Zhao. She also came up to them, looked at the small scroll in Lu Mingxi''s palm, and said with admiration, ¡°This treasure is an extremely comprehensive, top-quality psychic magic weapon. It is worth at least about four hundred and fifty primeval stones. Yet, it is the kind of weapon that cannot be expressed by simple market prices!


    ¡°If you put it at the auction, you may even get a price higher than five hundred and fifty primeval stones.¡± Lu Mingxi nodded, obviously agreeing with her point of view. ¡°The Mountain Lord is really great, willing to part with four hundred primeval stones. The amount can be the entire net worth of an ordinary cultivator.¡±


    Liu Zhaosi paused for a moment and said, ¡°I heard that this mysterious Lord of Luoxia Mountain has some attainments in the art of refining treasures. He should have refined this treasure himself, it shouldn¡¯t have cost him much.¡±


    Lu Mingxi made a silent calculation and said with a smile: ¡°That should be the case. Every time, the Moutain Lord would bestow a psychic magic weapon on those who rank first in the assessment. I¡¯m afraid he¡¯d have gone bankrupt long ago if it were not for him refining all the treasures by himself.¡±


    The entrance examination of the Taiyu Holy Sect would be held every 50 years. Even as the lord of Luoxia Mountain in the Divine Sea Realm, he couldn''t bear such frequent treasure gifting.


    But, if one was capable of refining a psychic magic weapon by himself, the cost could be reduced a lot. Which could not only make up for the guilt towards the Taiyu Sect in his heart, but also act as a catalyst in spreading an agreeable reputation of him in the sect; the advantages were evident.


    ¡°However, the Mountain Lord also greatly appreciates Senior Brother Ji,¡± Liu Zhao glanced at Ji Yuenian next to Li Shixuan. ¡°During the previous assessment, the Mountain Lord gave almost all ordinary psychic magic weapons, which were worth less than a hundred primeval stones. This time, however, this top-quality psychic magic treasure of Senior Brother Ji ... Tsk tsk, the value of this treasure is enough to buy my entire Liu family.¡±


    While the two were talking, the distribution of all prizes among the hundred disciples came to an end. Liao Xun took the first seat and said with a smile, ¡°Peak masters, this time the entrance examination has been exhausting. I have asked people to arrange a superior spiritual banquet in the Xiaguang hall, please move to the peak after completing miscellaneous matters.¡±


    ¡°It''s actually a high-class spiritual banquet, Liao Xun has a big heart.¡± When Lu Zhongguang, the leader of Xuanyuan Peak, heard the words ¡°superior spiritual banquet¡±, a modicum of surprise shone in his eyes.


    ¡°Very good, then I''ll take care of everything in the peak first, and then head to the Xiaguang Palace for the banquet!¡±


    ¡­


    Peak Master Xingyuan, Li Shixuan, looked sideways at Ji Yuenian and the others, and said, ¡°Let''s go, follow me to the Xingyuan Peak.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Peak Master.¡±


    Ji Yuenian and the others followed Li Shixuan out of the Chaoxia Hall, and his magnificent Luan pulled carriage had been waiting outside the hall for a long time.


    [ED: Luan¨Ca mythological bird.]


    The disciples were naturally unqualified to take part in the superior spiritual banquet arranged for the peak masters. Li Shixuan first sent Ji Yuenian and others back to Xingyuan Peak and settled them for the time being.


    Xingyuan Peak was located on the southern side of the Luoxia Mountains. The peaks were extremely steep, and surrounded by a bottomless abyss. When standing on the top of the mountain at night, the beautiful starry sky appeared brighter, and there were countless stars shining out from the dark abyss, hence the name Xingyuan.


    ¡°This is the upper court of Xingyuan Peak. It is called the Wangxing Court. There are 213 courtyards in total. Now there are 110 disciples in Wangxing Court."


    [ED: Xingyuan¨CStar abyss. Wangxing¨CCourt of forgotten stars.]


    As Luan drawn carriage gradually landed on Xingyuan Peak, Li Shixuan''s voice entered his ears.


    Many courtyards in Wangxing Court were scattered on the top of Xingyuan Peak.


    ¡°Where is the head of the Wangxing Court!?¡±


    ¡°Shao Guang has seen the peak master.¡± A black-robed disciple in the True Dao Realm disciple stepped out of the Wangxing Court, and saluted towards Li Shixuan respectfully.


    Li Shixuan nodded and said, ¡°The three are Ji Yuenian, Lu Mingxi, and Liu Zhao. In addition to giving the Astral Courtyard to Ji Yuenian, you can arrange a first-class courtyard for the other two.¡±


    ¡°Astral courtyard ¡­ Yes, Peak Master.¡± Shao Guang, who was wearing a black robe, was stunned and replied respectfully.


    After breaking into the True Dao Realm, he was already qualified to leave the Luoxia Mountains of the Outer Sect and enter the Six Mountains and Three Realms of the Taiyu Holy Sect to further his cultivation. However, the competition within the Six Mountains and Three Realms was countless times fiercer than that on the Luoxia Mountains. Therefore, there were many disciples who still choose to stay in the Luoxia Mountains after breaking into the True Dao Realm. These disciples held some important positions in the mountain peaks to which they belonged, and would not leave until they broke through the Upper Stage of True Dao Realm.

    After Li Shixuan gave out the instruction, he left Xingyuan Peak directly with the Luan pulled carriage, leaving Ji Yuenian and the three in Wangxing Court.


    Shao Guang''s expression was warm, and he spoke first, ¡°My three junior brothers and sisters, I am temporarily serving as the court master of Wangxing Court. My name is Shao Guang.¡±


    Ji Yuenian and others saluted one after another and said, ¡°I have seen Senior Brother Shao.¡±


    Shao Guang nodded. He looked at Ji Yuenian carefully, and then said, ¡°You are someone peak master has led here personally; earlier than those assigned disciples. As for the identity tokens in the peak, it will be distributed uniformly when all the disciples assigned to Xingyuan Peak from Shanwu Peak arrive.¡±


    After a pause, he continued, ¡°Xingyuan Peak is one of the top ten peaks among the hundreds of peaks in the Luoxia Mountains, and the regulations are relatively strict. I will record some details that need attention later within the jade talisman. I will hand it over to you and the other two.¡±


    Lu Mingxi smiled and said, ¡°Senior Brother Shao, we know what to do.¡±


    Shao Guang glanced at Lu Mingxi and said, ¡°You are a deer demon, so you will temporarily live in the thirty-fourth courtyard of Wangxing. This is the temporary token of the thirty-fourth courtyard. After the identity token in the peak is registered, I will collect this temporary token, you can then open the courtyard with the identity token in the peak.¡±


    Lu Ming thanked him and stepped forward to accept the token.


    ¡°There are not many high-class courtyards left, so you can go to Wangxingting Courtyard No. 57, which has just been vacated.¡±


    Shao Guang took out a temporary courtyard token and gave it to Liu Zhao.


    ¡°Thank you, Senior Brother Shao.¡± Liu Zhao also bowed and thanked him softly.


    ¡°No need to be polite, are you Ji Yuenian?¡± Shao Guang waved at Liu Zhao and turned to look at Ji Yuenian with a complicated look to him.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°I''ll take you to the Astral Courtyard,¡± Shaoguang said. ¡°The two of you will go to the courtyard to rest temporarily according to the map in the token, and you can wait for me at the portal of Wangxing Court tomorrow.¡±


    The next half sentence was obviously addressed to Lu Mingxi and Liu Zhao.


    ¡°Yes, Senior Brother Shao.¡± Lu Mingxi and Liu Zhao looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

 Ch. 65 - Astral Courtyard

    ¡°The Astral Courtyard is located in the extreme west of Wangxing Court, facing the abyss. It is one of the four courtyards with a renown reputation in Wangxing Court.¡±Shao Guang led Ji Yuenian into Wangxing Court, and there seemed to be some sighs interspersed between his words.


    Ji Yuenian followed behind Shao Guang, and said softly, ¡°Dare I ask Senior Brother Shao, what''s so special about this Astral Courtyard?¡±


    ¡°There is a very precious small forbidden formation in the Astral Courtyard. At night, it can absorb the energy from stars and moonlight and transform it into the Qi of heaven and earth. If you can cultivate in it all the time, you can save a lot of primeval stones cultivating in the long run.¡±


    While the two were talking, several disciples approached them and bowed respectfully towards Shao Guang, ¡°This disciple has seen the court master.¡±


    Shao Guang waved his hand and said, ¡°No need to be polite.¡±


    Those disciples passed by Ji Yuenian by mistake, and they kept looking back at Ji Yuenian and talked about him and his presence alongside the court master. S~?a??h the N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Ji Yuenian''s appearance had long since spread throughout the Luoxia Mountains through light curtains. Almost all the disciples of the present in the Luoxia Mountains¡¯ Outer Sect disciples¨Cwhich was more than 100,000¨Cand the hundreds of thousands of handymen disciples knew about him. Therefore, it was difficult for these disciples to talk to him directly.


    [ED: Light curtains¡ªaccording to Zen, is the WhatsApp or Facebook of the cultivation world. Lol.]


    Xingyuan Peak was different from Eclipse Peak. It could even be said that the hundreds of peaks in the Luoxia Mountains were not as special as Eclipse Peak. Not only was there no real peak master in Eclipse Peak, but even the structure within the disciples was not well set up. The disciples within it were all left to fend for themselves.


    There was no so-called court master in the three courts of the Eclipse Peak.


    As the sixth-largest mountain among hundreds of mountain peaks, Xingyuan Peak was well-regulated, and the court master had a very high prestige. Except for the Xingyuan Xuandian, the main hall of the peak, disciples in the peak must obey the three court masters¡¯ orders.


    ¡°In essence, the magic of Astral Courtyard doesn''t stop there.¡± Shao Guang took Ji Yuenian to the extreme west of Wangxing. He pointed to a loft with cornices. It was built near the abyss. He said softly, ¡°In addition to this precious forbidden formation, at night, from the courtyard, you can see the sea of stars and the black abyss below. Being able to live in this courtyard is a symbol of status.¡±


    Ji Yuenian nodded and said, ¡°Thank you, Brother Shao.¡±


    ¡°No need to be polite,¡± Shao Guang stopped and took out a black jade token shining with starlight. ¡°The Astral Courtyard is different from the other courtyards. This is the token that opens the courtyard. There is only one of this token, please keep it safe with you.¡±


    ¡°I see.¡± Ji Yuenian took the cold black jade token, looked at the bright starlight radiating from it, and was stunned for a moment.


    Shao Guang nodded and said, ¡°Junior Brother Ji, there are many affairs in the court that needs my attention. I¡¯ll take my leave first. Don''t forget to go to the Wangxing portal tomorrow. I will issue you and others your disciple tokens.¡±


    After watching Shao Guang leave, he held the token and walked towards the Astral Courtyard.


    This courtyard was about twenty meters in area and was extremely spacious. Outside the courtyard was a spiritual field planted with low-level elixir, and inside the courtyard was a three-story marvelous attic with carved beams and jade, which appeared magnificent.


    On the plaque at the main entrance of the attic was engraved with the word ¡°Xingxing¡±, with vigorous strokes. It was obviously written by a well-trained individual, and it had a strong and incomparable mysterious air to it.


    Urging the jade token in his hand, the invisible transparent shield outside the Astral Court slowly dissipated, and a portal slowly opened from the front of the courtyard.


    ¡°This place is quiet and remote, and is blessed with a forbidden array. It is really a unique place to cultivate.¡±


    After Ji Yuenian entered the courtyard, he closed the transparent protective shield again, and was extremely satisfied.


    There were many halls in the attic. The first floor was divided into Cultivation Hall, Refinement Hall, Meditation Hall, Botany Hall as usual. The second floor was a semi-open place to watch the sea of stars above, and in the center was placed the forbidden array.


    The third floor was the most mysterious. It required the disciple token of the peak bound to the black jade token to enter, and Ji Yuenian couldn''t enter it for the time being.


    As soon as he stepped into the attic, the token of the Outer Sect disciple within the storage seal trembled again. Brilliant streams of light converged. New information was being imprinted on it.


    Sitting on the star-gazing couch in the attic on the second floor, Ji Yuenian took out the token of the outer sect disciple and noticed that the basic information contained in it had changed.


    The previous words ¡°Luoxia Mountain, Eclipse Moon Peak, Ji Yuenian¡± had now become ¡°Luoxia Mountain, Xingyuan Peak, Ji Yuenian¡±. There were as many as ten pieces of information that he had never seen before!


    ¡°The entrance examination has ended. The top 100 disciples are ranked in order, Ji Yuenian, Yu Yan, Chu Xingyun ...¡±


    The first piece of information was the dissemination of the names and appearances of the top 100 disciples in the entrance examination. If one concentrated on one name, the appearance of that particular disciple would be revealed, which was truly miraculous piece of mechanism.


    ¡°Ji Yuenian, Luoxia Mountains. His affiliation has been changed from Eclipse Moon Peak to Xingyuan Peak.¡±


    This piece of information was a notice sent by Shanwu Palace regarding the change. Only Yuenian could view it. Once he entered any courtyard with the token of the Outer Sect Disciple, such information would be transmitted through the communication circle that between hundreds of peaks within the mountain range.


    ¡°Xingyuan Peak, Wangxing Court. Ji Yuenian is the General Discipline of the corresponding Peak and Court. He is ranked only below the three court masters, and has the right to interrogate, question, and capture ordinary discipline.¡±


    The second piece of information was an internal circular from Xingyuan Peak, and all disciples in Xingyuan Peak would be intimated with similar means.


    It was just that Ji Yuenian¡¯s Inner token had yet to be issued, so the position of a General Disciple held no authority meanwhile.


    The rest was information regarding some sect laws, foreign sects and the like. Ji Yuenian did not take a close look at it, so he put away the Outer Sect token, and turned to take out the storage bags from his Divine Palace Acupoint.


    These storage bags were extremely precious, and even Ji Yuenian never imagined that the reward for walking three hundred stone steps would be so amazing.


    With but a slight thought, numerous storage bags appeared on the desk in front.


    Ji Yuenian first took the three storage bags, which contained the regular rewards and additional rewards for the disciples who entered the sect.


    Opening it slowly, the rich vitality of heaven and earth inundated the hall. Fifteen primeval stones were neatly placed in the three storage bags, and there were five primeval stones and one primeval stone in each storage bag. With five ''Qi Gathering Pills'' in the bottle, Ji Yuenian took out the primeval stone and the medicinal pills and put them on the side of the table for the time being.


    Another ten somewhat similar storage bags were brought out.


    These were double rewards for the fifth ranker of the assessment ranking, and they were also the special rewards for the first ranker in the overall ranking.


    Ji Yuenian first opened the two most inferior storage bags, which contained the rewards for ranking within 5,000 to 2,000.

 Ch. 66 - Black Moon Robe

    Inside the two storage bags were three primeval stones, two ¡°Qi Gathering Pills¡±, and an extremely ordinary long sword. The value of this long sword was about one primeval stone.The rewards for the 2,000-1,000 rank were better; there were only three primeval stones, but the number of ¡°Qi Gathering Pills¡± had been increased to five. The appearance of the long sword was also slightly better.


    The reward for the 1000th to 500th place was five primeval stones, ten ¡°Qi Gathering Pills¡±, and a defensive magic robe. Two ordinary magic weapons: one for attack and one for defense!


    Ji Yuenian took out all these primeval stones, medicinal pills, and common magic weapons, sorted them, and put those empty storage bags in one place. Then, he went to open the highest one of the five rewards, that was, the reward for the top 100 in the entrance examination.


    As soon as the two storage bags were opened, an extremely dazzling brilliance shone out from them, Ji Yuenian''s eyes squinted slightly, and he took out all the things in it.


    In each storage bag, there were thirty primeval stones, thirty ¡°Qi Gathering Pills¡±, and even a bottle of five ¡°Qi Stimulation Pills¡±! s?a??h th? N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    For ordinary disciples of the Outer Sect, ¡°Qi Activation Pill¡± was an incomparably precious cultivation elixir, and a ¡°Qi Activation Pill¡± was worth at least three primeval stones!


    In addition to this, there was also an incomparably sharp long sword in these two storage bags, each of which was worth about eight primeval stones, which could be called top-grade among ordinary magic weapons!


    He accrued the primeval stones in these thirteen storage bags, and now there was a total of 117.


    The number would be a huge amount even for disciples who had been in the sect for years. Even if Shao Guang had served as the court master of the Wangxing Court for decades in the Xingyuan Peak, all his assets added wouldn¡¯t exceed 200 primeval stones.


    Ji Yuenian took out the primeval stones that he originally had, and put them together with these primeval stones. After a little check, he already had more than 270 primeval stones!


    ¡°The Eclipse Peak still owes me eleven primeval stones.¡±


    While muttering to himself, Ji Yuenian put the stones in a storage bag separately, and then threw them into the storage seal first.


    [ED: Storage Seal¡ªsomeplace in his sea of consciousness. Kinda like Doraemon¡¯s 4-D pouch I reckon.]


    He previously fed the evil ghost with more than ten primeval stones at the Eclipse Profound Hall of Eclipse Peak, but now he had changed mountains, those stones naturally had to be returned.


    Taking two heavy storage bags, Ji Yuenian''s eyes narrowed slightly.


    This storage bag was extremely delicate. One of them was the extra reward due to his superior bloodline, and the other was an additional reward due to the Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence. No matter which, they both were heavy.


    Ji Yuenian opened the reward of the superior bloodline. There were bright colorful lights. A black streak of light flew out of the storage bag on its own. It was a robe. The robe, with intricate and mysterious patterns engraved on it, was actually an extremely precious defensive type psychic magic weapon!


    In addition, there were seventy primeval stones neatly placed in this storage bag, which Ji Yuenian casually put into the storage bag containing primeval stones.


    His wealth of primeval stones increased once more. He now owned an astounding three hundred and forty primeval stones.


    Putting this ¡°Black Moon Robe¡± away, Ji Yuenian''s eyes turned to the reward storage bag pertaining to his Heart Fire Sequence.


    This storage bag was a little more exquisite than the previous one, but it was also a lot of lighter, relatively.


    Although the storage bag had the effect of reducing the specific gravity of the objects inside, a single piece of psychic magic weapon could weigh more than ten kilograms. If it was not as heavy as the storage bag just now, it was enough to indicate that it was very likely that there was no psychic magic weapon present in it.


    Ji Yuenian opened it slowly, and what caught his eye was a hundred primeval stones!


    Having an aptitude of a Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence was extremely rare, and the sect had never been stingy with the disciples with excellent aptitude. These extra rewards of primeval stones were the basis for the rise of such disciples!


    Within the Taiyu Holy Sect, talented creatures were never buried.


    In addition to the hundred primeval stones, there was also a wooden box in this storage bag. This box contained five small white jade bottles, and each bottle contained ten ¡°Qi Stimulating Pills¡±!


    A fifty ¡°Qi Stimulating Pills¡±!


    Ji Yuenian put these fifty pills together with the ten from before, so there were sixty ¡°Qi Stimulating Pills¡± in total. He put them away carefully.


    These kinds of medicinal pills were extremely helpful while at the Initial Stage of Profound Realm, and it was more than several times stronger than the most common ¡°Qi Gathering Pills¡±.


    In the pile of storage bags, there were still three ordinary brown storage bags, which were the rewards for entering Xingyuan Peak; the reward for serving as a General Disciple, and the reward personally given by the Xingyuan Peak¡¯s master, Li Shixuan.


    Ji Yuenian opened them one by one. The first two storage bags contained twelve primeval stones and fifteen ¡°Qi Gathering Pills¡±. The last storage bag was a bit special. Among them was an azure magical talisman.


    Holding the talisman in his hand, the message left by the Peak Master Xingyuan, Li Shixuan, was slowly revealed.


    ¡°This talisman can only be possessed by the monstrous talents within the bloodline descendants of the Li family. I made an exception to ask for one for you. If you ever find yourself in a critical situation, you can directly activate this talisman, and all the ancestors of the Li family will be alarmed. If that happens, I will use this talisman to cast the Incarnation Skill and incarnate to protect you. This talisman is extremely precious and can only be activated thrice. Never abuse it, remember!¡±


    The Li family was the hegemonic family that swept across the third mountain range of the Taiyu Holy Sect, and several of their ancestors were the experts of their generation.


    Li Shixuan asking for such a precious talisman on his behalf greatly touched Ji Yuenian.


    There are more than 450 primeval stones, 60 ¡°Qi Stimulating Pills¡±, more than 20 ordinary magic weapons, more than 100 ¡°Qi Gathering Pills¡±, and a pile of empty storage bags.


    Ji Yuenian re-counted the rich resources accumulated on the table, and came up with a more detailed number for the time being.


    But ¡­ that was not all.


    There were also three precious rewards which Ji Yuenian had not yet opened.


    One of them was the reward for being first in the sect entrance examination. This reward was dressed up with a somewhat ancient and simple ring.


    The second item was the extra reward personally bestowed by Shen Mu in Qingluo Realm, which was contained in an exquisite and gorgeous storage ring. It was the final reward given to him through Liao Xun, the deputy peak master of Tongming Peak. It was the reward for climbing the three hundred stone steps!


    The top-quality psychic magic weapon, the two-meter landscape map, given by the Lord of Luoxia Mountain earlier, had been refined by Ji Yuenian and put in the Divine Palace Acupoint.

 Ch. 67 - Lingwu

    ¡°Shen Mu, the head of Qingluo Realm, one of the several ancestors of the Li family.¡±Ji Yuenian thought for a moment, then picked up the exquisite and gorgeous storage ring first, and slowly took out the contents.


    As the black and yellow rays of light faded, a volume of ancient books condensed out on the table, with six small characters ¡°Spiritual Transformation Healing Art¡± engraved on it.


    ¡°Spiritual Transformation Healing Art¡± was one of several techniques practiced by the head of Qingluo Realm, Shen Mu. This technique belonged to the healing type, and had a wonderful recovery and assimilation effect.


    Putting away this secret technique and the storage ring, Ji Yuenian picked up another somewhat quaint ring, which was the first prize of the overall entrance examination.


    After injecting his consciousness into it, Ji Yuenian''s eyes froze for a while.


    In the corner of the quaint ring space, there were a total of two hundred primeval stones!


    In addition, there was a jade talisman and a small Suppressing Seal inside the ring. Ji Yuenian took out these two things one by one.


    The Suppressing Seal, a psychic magic weapon, had the ability to kill, suppress, and seal, and it was worth about one hundred and twenty primeval stones.


    The blue-colored jade talisman was called the Blue Feather Talisman, and Ji Yuenian could use this talisman to go to the Spirit Beast Peak of the Luoxia Mountains. He would receive a blue-feathered Luan bird with cultivation at the Upper Stage True Dao Realm. S?a??h the n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    The blue-feathered Luan bird was a very special kind of spiritual bird. It was often used by wealthy disciples as a means of transportation. The nature of this bird was extremely fierce, and its strength could rival a disciple at the True Dao Realm.


    This single blue-feathered Luan bird was worth more than ninety primeval stones!


    The reward for being ranked number one in the sect was so generous, even Ji Yuenian, whose net worth was soaring at that time, was a little surprised.


    Putting away the jade talisman and the Suppressing Seal, Ji Yuenian took the storage seal in his hand, and his eyes narrowed a little.


    The storage seal alone was worth a lot of money. Ji Yuenian took out the things from the depths of the storage seal, and his pupils contracted slightly.


    This was a snow-white long sword covered with frost.


    At the same time, a piece of information circulated from the long sword and passed into Ji Yuenian''s sea of consciousness.


    ¡°Ji Yuenian, from the ancient city of Taichu, has climbed to the top of the Cloud Stone Steps, and is the eight person in the history of Taiyu Holy Sect to step on the 300th stone step. In light of this achievement, Qingluo Realm has bestowed a psychic magic treasure, the Profound Snow Sword, as a reward.¡±


    The cold air on the sword leaked to the entire surroundings, causing a little frost to condense in the entire Astral Courtyard. Ji Yuenian put the sword into the storage seal again. Even after he put away the weapon, the shock he felt lingered in his eyes.


    Even as the eighth person who climbed the three hundred stone steps, he never imagined that Taiyu Sect would give him such a treasure!


    The Profound Realm, the True Dao Realm, and the Divine Sea Realm. These were the first three realms of the cultivation of countless beings.


    Psychic magic weapons of this quality were generally only possessed by big shots at the Divine Sea Realm, and ordinary cultivators did not dare dream of such treasures.


    The value of the psychic magic weapon fluctuated somewhere between 100 primeval stones to 2,000 primeval stones. The more forbidden arrays present in the weapon, the more comprehensive the effect, and the better the quality, the higher the value of the magic weapon.


    Countless Ice forbidden formations were engraved on this ¡°Profound Snow Sword¡±, and its true value had faintly exceeded the limit of a psychic magic weapon.


    Even the landscape map from before, which was worth more than 400 primeval stones, given to him by the Lord of Luoxia Mountain paled in comparison.


    With Ji Yuenian''s cultivation in the upper realm of the Profound Realm, the two-meter landscape map could still be hardly activated, but this Profound Snow Sword couldn''t be used at all. Only when he reached the True Dao Realm, could he use it one or two times.


    Both were psychic magic weapons of the highest ranks, but the gap between the two-meter landscape map and Profound Snow Sword was so huge. This was the special feature of the psychic magic weapon rank.


    The Edict Ebony Sword that Ji Yuenian used also belonged to a level of psychic magic weapon.


    But, the power produced by this sword couldn¡¯t be compared with these two top-quality psychic magic weapons at all.


    He counted all the primeval stones once again, there were more than 650 pieces in total.


    ¡°I should go to the Spirit Beast Peak in a few days to get that Luan bird, and then go up to Eclipse Moon Peak to retrieve the eleven primeval stones.¡± Ji Yuenian murmured and put all the primeval stones in that pile inside a gorgeous storage ring.


    More than 650 primeval stones, this was an unimaginably huge amount of resources.


    Presently, Ji Yuenian possessed several pieces of psychic magic weapons. In addition to the Profound Snow Sword, there were also the best psychic magic weapon like the Landscape Map, the Suppressing Seal, and the Black Moon Robe, and the Ebony Sword.


    The Landscape Map, the Suppressing Seal and the Ebony Sword were all psychic magic weapons that emphasized on killing, while the only defensive psychic magic weapon he had was the Black Moon Robe.


    As for ordinary magic weapons, Ji Yuenian had dozens of them.


    Ordinary Outer Sect Disciples only had a resource share of two primeval stones per month. If they wanted to own the most common psychic magic weapon, they would¡¯ve to save at least for five to ten years without consuming any resources. Then, they could barely gather more than one hundred primeval stones.


    As soon as Ji Yuenian entered the sect, he possessed five psychic magic treasures, two of which were extremely precious and superb psychic magic treasures!


    It was already midnight.


    Ji Yuenian sat on the Astral mat, raised his head and looked at the magnificent stars above the extreme sky, his mind flooded with the feeling of broadness.


    Zhao Yinyue left him a lot of things, including some news about ¡°the one¡±. At that time, he was ready to embark on the road of cultivation, and finally had some qualifications to explore the deep memories


    No matter when and where, the most important thing was to never stop cultivating.


    Ji Yuenian suspended his thoughts, closed his eyes slightly, and slowly sank into cultivation.


    Under the effect of the forbidden array of the Astral Courtyard, the starlight condensed around him, and turned into several purple star energy vortexes. This vortex were gradually transformed by the forbidden array into dense heaven and earth energy, which were absorbed by Ji Yuenian, increasing his reserve in Divine Palace Acupoint.


    ¡­


    The Western Oxus Continent, the Land of Lingwu.


    A gigantic palace was hidden in the deep forest. A young man in Daoist robe walked under the gate of the palace and said respectfully, ¡°There is an invitation from the holy land of Yaochi at the top of Kunlun Mountain.¡±


    The old man raised his head and looked up at the starry sky, and said softly, ¡°Yuan Jian, you have already survived the three tribulations, and you can be regarded as Taiyi Supreme Spirit. You are someone who has been freed from life and death between heaven and earth. This feast of Yaochi Holy Land, you attend it on my behalf.¡±


    The Taoist youth named Yuan Jian looked a little frightened and said, ¡°But I ¡­¡±


    The old man turned his head slightly, his eyes were calm, and they seemed to hide all the secrets of life and death.


    Yuan Jian swallowed back the words in his mouth, and bowed again with utmost respect, and said, ¡°Yes.¡±


    The old man nodded, and his figure gradually turned into a flash of light that danced in the sky, disappearing into nothingness.


    ¡°I don''t know how many days it will take to reach the Holy Land of Yaochi at the Kunlun Sacred Mountain.¡±


    Yuan Jian sighed and said no more, turned around, and walked into the gate of the palace behind him.


    There were plaques made of sacred sandalwood on both sides of the door of the palace, with eight shining azure characters inscribed on it.

 Ch. 68 - Taiyu

    Buzz.The Outer Sect token which was on the table glowed with brilliant white light.


    Ji Yuenian cracked his eyes open and looked at the token on the table, then took it in his hand, and after a moment of silence he got up off the Star Gazing (Guan Xing) Jade Seat.


    At this moment, it was still early in the morning, and dawn had yet to come. Looking out from the second floor of the open-air Star-gazing pavilion, the extreme sky was still dotted with bright and magnificent rivers of stars. A bright white moon hung from the heavenly dome above, sprinkling the ancient unchanging silver moonlight.


    After taking in the sights, Ji Yuenian walked out of the attic, and the first thing that came into his sight was the demon Lu Mingxi and another disciple in the upper realm of the Nascent Profound Realm.


    ¡°Senior Brother Ji, I had no choice but to disturb your practice.¡±


    Lu Mingxi said with a smile, and the person next to him also stepped forward and greeted him.


    As he opened his mouth, there was a hint of a compliment in his tone. ¡°Wangxing Court¡¯s Zhan Ming has seen Senior Brother Ji.¡±


    After a moment of silence, Ji Yuenian turned around, let the two of them into his courtyard, while saying, ¡°No need to be polite.¡±


    As Lu Mingxi and Zhan Ming entered the courtyard, they felt the rich vitality of heaven and earth transformed by the forbidden array, and couldn''t help but admire it.


    Following Ji Yuenian into the attic, the deer demon with antlers said: ¡°Senior brother Ji, this brother''s name is Zhan Ming, he is an extremely rare black-patterned demon tiger. The two of us have come to see Senior Brother Ji, but we have an unpleasant request that we¡¯d like to make.¡±


    Ji Yuenian took the two to the second floor of the courtyard, sat on the spacious Star Gazing Jade Seat, and said, ¡°Junior Brother Lu, it doesn''t matter. There is no there is no harm in talking.¡±


    The seat occupied almost half of the second floor of the Star Gazing pavillion. From here, one could watch the river of stars above and the abyss below. The amazement in Lu Mingxi and Zhan Ming''s eyes grew stronger the more they looked around.


    ¡°This Astral Courtyard is one of the four prestigious courtyards at Xing Yuan Peak. It really lives up to its reputation,¡± Lu Mingxi first praised Ji Yuenian''s courtyard, then said, ¡°Brother Ji is about to serve as a General Disciple of Xing Yuan and holds great power. It will be very inconvenient if there is no one underneath you to beckon when needed.¡±


    There were now more than ten General Disciples in the three courts of Xing Yuan Peak. Except for a few old disciples whose cultivation has reached the Returning to the Truth realm, the rest of the disciples are almost all in the upper stage of the Nascent Profound Realm.


    Wangxing was one of the courts of Xing Yuan Peak, where there were 110 Outer Sect Disciples in it, and the other two courts also had hundreds of Outer Sect Disciples each. In addition to the many Handyman disciples who had yet to officially entered the sect, Xing Yuan peak, overall, had thousands of disciples!


    However, all these disciples were managed by less than twenty General Disciples. Naturally, such governance reduced the efficiency of the management system; therefore, people in favor of these General Disciples could exercise some of their authority and help them govern. These disciples were called Deputy Generals.


    Deputy General wasn¡¯t an official post appointed by the peak, but merely a term used by the disciples within the peak. As underlings of the General Disciples, these people wouldn¡¯t have many scruples of abusing their authority and bullying and blackmailing ordinary disciples.


    Ji Yuenian wasn¡¯t aware of it until Lu Ming explained it to him, which gave him a glimpse into how the many famous halls functioned.


    ¡°Brother Ji, the news that you are going to be a General Disciple has already spread throughout. After dawn, many disciples will come to visit you. Some will even send enormous gifts, just to beg for the title of a Deputy General.¡± Lu Mingxi said in a low voice with a strange expression.


    Ji Yuenian glanced at Lu Mingxi and Zhan Ming, and said, ¡°Junior Brother Lu need not beat around the bush and be direct with it.¡±


    Lu Mingxi said with a smile, ¡°Naturally, I¡¯d like to be a Deputy General under Senior Brother Ji. And as Brother Zhan Ming has a long history with my Lu family, I¡¯d like for him to assist me as we both work under you as Deputy Generals.¡± S~?a??h the N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Zhan Ming who remained silent till now took out a wooden box from a storage treasure. He placed it on the table with a slightly pained look in his eye, and said, ¡°Brother Ji, these are 20 primeval stones. A small gift.¡±


    After a little thought, Ji Yuenian said, ¡°You two can be my Deputy Generals. Since this Junior Brother Zhan is acquainted with you, Lu Mingxi, these primeval stones are unnecessary.¡±


    Lu Mingxi shook his head and said, ¡°Senior Brother Ji, twenty primeval stones is not a small sum. The rules cannot be broken, so just accept them.¡±


    Lu Mingxi was the bloodline descendant of Xuan Yuan Peak''s master Lu Chongguang. He was someone with a deep background. The only reason for him to come to Xing Yuan Peak was to follow Ji Yuenian.


    In other words, he wished to follow someone with the Tong Xuan Heat Ghost Bloodline and someone who had ignited a Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence.


    Therefore, the relationship between the two was extremely ambiguous at this point. Although this matter has not been stated openly, both Lu Mingxi and Ji Yuenian were aware of it.


    Ji Yuenian also knew that in a huge sect like Taiyu Holy Sect, where countless forces intertwined, it would be almost impossible for him to walk alone all the time.


    Putting away the wooden box containing twenty primeval stones, Ji Yuenian nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯ll spend most of my time cultivating here. Even if I am a General Disciple, I have no time to manage these chores. So I¡¯ll leave all the general matters to you.¡±


    Zhan Ming stood up, bowed toward Ji Yuenian, and said, ¡°Please rest assured, Senior Brother Ji.¡±


    Lu Mingxi said with a smile, ¡°Senior Brother Zhan has practiced in the Wangxing (Scattered Stars) Court for many years and has a solid foundation. He also has more than ten disciples in the Upper Profound Realm under his command, so don''t worry Senior Brother Ji.¡±


    With Lu Ming''s background and position in the Xuan Yuan Peak, there was no need for him to rely on the identity of the Deputy General to gain benefits. The reason he brought Zhan Ming here was just to get closer to Ji Yuenian.


    Lu Mingxi got up from the Star Gazing Jade Seat, he walked to the edge of the second floor open-air attic, lowered his head and looked at the ten-thousand-foot abyss beneath his feet, and sighed. ¡°Brother Ji, this courtyard is built next to the abyss. Not only can it rely on the forbidden array to draw power from the stars to transform the vital energy of heaven and earth, it is also quite helpful for cultivating one¡¯s state of mind.¡±


    Zhan Ming on the side nodded and said, ¡°Senior Brother Ji has suppressed hundreds of thousands of living beings in the Luoxia Mountains, and has risen from the ashes to be the first in the Outer Sect.¡±


    After a pause, Zhan Ming seemed to have remembered something. He took out a jade talisman from his sleeve and handed it to Ji Yuenian, saying: ¡°Senior Brother Ji, this is the Taiyu Holy Sect¡¯s secret cultivation technique. This can lead a cultivator from the Profound Realm to the Divine Sea Realm. I¡¯ve engraved a copy some time ago, it¡¯s just as well that I handed to you, Senior Brother.¡±


    Ji Yuenian took the jade talisman, in which several phantoms of the true cultivation art appeared.


    ¡°Taiyu Xuan Qing True Spirit Gathering Technique.¡±


    This ¡°Taiyu True Technique¡± was the basic tantra for all the beings in the Six Mountains and Three Realms of the Taiyu Holy Sect and the Outer Sect of the Luoxia Mountains. It was completely different from the spiritual techniques that Ji Yuenian practiced, such as the ¡°Xian Mi Miao Tong Bu Yun Shen.¡±


    The Basic Heart Secret Art was the true technique that was necessary for nourishing the soul and condensing the profound energy. If Ji Yuehnian had only practiced the secret art without practicing the Basic Heart Techniques, he would never have been able to break through to the Realm of Returning to the Truth.


    Up to this point, Ji Yuenian''s true secret arts were ¡°The Buddha Mantra of Crossing the Spirit¡±, ¡°Xian Mi Miao Tong Bu Yun Shen¡±, and ¡°The True Technique for the Transformation of the Green Wood¡±. All three of which were divine techniques. Although they could be used to condense out the Xuan Qi, the Xuan Sea, after all, was a functional type of Xuan Qi, and even if it was divine, it could only be used as an auxiliary.


    Once the disciple entered the Luoxia Mountains, the mountain peak to which he belonged would naturally pass on ¡°Taiyu True Technique¡± of the next level. At this time, Zhan Ming directly brought the first three levels of the ¡°Taiyu True Technique¡± from him. This ¡°Taiyu True Technique¡± was widely circulated, although it wasn¡¯t a great gift at all, it still made things easier for Ji Yuenian.


    ¡°Junior Brother Zhan is generous,¡± Ji Yuenian nodded as he put away the jade talisman, ¡°This True Technique is indeed what I need.¡±


    Even though the master of the Wangxing Court would¡¯ve had to give Ji Yuenian the ¡°Taiyu True Technique¡± after dawn; nonetheless, Zhan Ming had saved him a lot of time the tedious process of geting one.


    ¡°Senior Brother Ji, then the two of us will retire first.¡±


    Lu Mingxi saw that he had almost finished talking, then he bowed to Ji Yuenian and retired.


    Once their agenda was fulfilled, Lu Mingxi got up and bowed to Ji Yuenian before taking his leave. Zhan Ming too got up after him and bowed respectfully in succession.


    Ji Yuenian shook his head slightly and said, ¡°This is my first time being a host here, as such I did not have time to prepare tea. I hope the two junior brothers don¡¯t blame me.¡±


    ¡°We don''t dare, Senior Brother is too kind.¡±


    Ji Yuenian sent Lu Mingxi and Zhan Ming out of the attic, looked up at the sky that had turned bright. He thought for a moment, re-sealed the protective formation of the Astral Court, and went straight to the door of Wangxing Court.

 Ch. 69 - The Light Crescent Moon

    Wangxing Court.The gate to the Wangxing Court was already surrounded by many handymen disciples busy working in the Spiritual Medicine (Lingtian) field. Most of them were from the other courts of the Xing Yuan Peak. Every day they needed to come to Wangxing Court on foot before Mao Shi to take care of many spiritual plants planted there. This work was in exchange for some meager cultivation resources.


    An enormous lotus leaf with a radius of several meters large came through the misty clouds and slowly drifted and landed under the gates of the court.


    There were dozens of creatures on it, most of them were mortal, but they all had one common thing, which was that all their faces were filled with a hint of curiosity and excitement. It was clear these people were new disciples who had just finished their assignment in Shan Wu Peak and were assigned to the Xing Yuan Peak¡¯s Wangxing court for cultivation.


    But these disciples differed from those who came earlier to join the sect through recommendation. These disciples entered the sect through examination, so there was no need for them to pay primeval stones when leaving Shan Wu Peak to go to their assigned peak for the first time. Instead, they only had to pay for the lotus leaf, and then they would be directly sent to their respective peaks after the count was completed.


    As the sixth-ranked mountain, Xing Yuan Peak seldom accepted the disciples assigned by Shan Wu Peak, but this time there were too many creatures who passed the entrance examination. Therefore, Shan Wu Peak broke the usual practice and specially selected some qualified students to be assigned to the top ten mountains.


    ¡°Senior Brother Shao, there are 93 disciples assigned to Xing Yuan Peak this time, and 21 disciples have been assigned to Wangxing Court.¡±


    A General Disciple stood behind Shao Guang, looking at the dozens of disciples above the lotus leaf together with him.


    Shao Guang nodded, took out a storage bag from his storage ring, and said: ¡±There are dozens of blank peak disciple tokens in it. You just go ahead and correspond their Outer Disciple tokens one by one, record it and distribute it later.¡±


    The General Disciple replied, ¡°Yes, Senior Brother Shao.¡±


    After the words were finished, he took the storage bag and walked towards the lotus leaf with several disciples around him.


    ¡°Senior Brother Ji!¡±


    ¡°I''ve seen Senior Brother Ji!¡±


    Numerous voices of greetings came from afar, Shao Guang looked back and saw that Ji Yuenian had come out of the Astral Courtyard. Along the way, many disciples, and handymen disciples were all surprised and fearful, and they were busy bowing their heads to him in greetings.


    By this time, Ji Yuenian was already known to everyone in Xing Yuan Peak, and he was about to take up the position of General Disciple. Therefore, these ordinary disciples did not dare to be disrespectful to him.


    ¡°There''s still two sticks of incense worth of time before dawn,¡± Shao Guang''s originally solemn expression eased down, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, ¡°Junior Brother Ji is quite punctual.¡±


    Ji Yuenian walked to Shao Guang and said, ¡°I have seen Brother Shao.¡±


    ¡°Junior Brother Ji doesn''t need to be too polite.¡± Shao Guang took out an incomparably complicated talisman between his palms, ¡°The disciples who live in courtyards of renown do not need to re-purchase the disciple tokens in the peak. But, this spell is the identity spell that represents a General Disciple, and Junior Brother Ji can refine it into a ''Star Tracing'' token.¡±


    Ji Yuenian accepted the talisman, took out the black jade token that was used to open the Astral Courtyard, and shot the talisman into it directly by using his Xuan Qi.


    Mysterious light circulated on the black ink jade token, and after a while, several small characters were re-condensed on top of the token, which was extremely miraculous.


    After probing it, Ji Yuenian noticed that there were numerous lines of information in this ¡°Star Tracing¡± token.


    The front of this token was engraved with the word ¡°Star Trace¡±, and on the back were three small words ¡°Xing Yuan Peak¡±. The information contained therein has now become a complete sentence.


    ¡°Luoxia Mountains, Xing Yuan Peak, Wangxing Court. General Disciple Ji Yuenian.¡± s?a??h th? N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Ji Yuenian put away the token and thanked him. ¡°Thank you, Senior Brother Shao.¡±


    Shao Guang shook his head and laughed. ¡°Junior Brother Ji is very polite. In the future, this token can be used to identify the peak, which is extremely convenient.¡±


    After a pause, he took out a jade talisman again and said: ¡°This is the magic formula of entering the ¡°Taiyu Xuan Qing Gathering Spiritual Realm¡± Junior Brother Ji please keep it.¡±


    Ji Yuenian took over the jade talisman and once again thanked him.


    ¡°Junior Brother Ji, as Xing Yuan Peak¡¯s General Disciple, you can receive eight primeval stones in Wangxing Court every month, don''t forget it.¡±


    Shao Guang carefully instructed again, then turned around and walked towards the lotus leaf.


    Ji Yuenian had already changed into the black robe, a psychic magic treasure. The black robe was engraved with complex patterns, and his long black hair was tied behind his head with a white jade belt, which made his fair, delicate, and handsome face become more visible.


    ¡°What is that!?¡±


    ¡°It''s actually a silver dragon!¡±


    Several disciples looked up at the vast clouds above Xing Yuan Peak and exclaimed in astonishment.


    A splendid silver Flood Dragon broke through the clouds and flew out the mist. It was surrounded by a bright white demon light, swayed its tail, and landed under the gatehouse of Wangxing Court.


    The blazing white demon light circulated, and a slender human figure gradually appeared. It was the Spiritual Dragon Jiao? Xiuyu. He was in the upper realm of the Nascent Profound Realm. He belonged to the Eclipse Moon Peak.


    ¡°Junior Brother Ji.¡±


    Jiao Xiuyu looked at Ji Yuenian, whose aura was getting deeper and deeper, and his face became more complicated.


    Ji Yuenian said with a smile: ¡°I have not yet reached the state of the Realm of Returning to the Truth, so I can''t control a flying magic weapon. I¡¯ve to trouble Senior Brother Jiao again to go to Spirit Beast Peak this time.¡±


    He had already contacted Jiao Xiuyu through the communication jade talisman and asked him to take him to the Spirit Beast Peak once.


    The drunkard''s intention was not in wine.


    Jiao Xiuyu had the body of a Flood Dragon. Although he had a mixed bloodline, his talent was not bad. It''s just that the cultivation environment of Eclipse Peak was too bad, and Jiao Xiuyu liked to help new demon spirit disciples, which delayed a lot of his cultivation.


    Meanwhile, Ji Yuenian had few connections in the Luoxia Mountains, so it was necessary to win over some potential disciples in advance.


    Jiao Xiuyu nodded and said, ¡°Junior Brother Ji is now a Nominal Holy Son, although this status will only come true after entering the Six Mountains and Three Realms, but Junior Brother Ji''s status has long differed from the past, and I am already delighted that you remember me as a senior brother.¡±


    Ji Yuenian''s gaze remained calm and deep, and he smiled softly and said: ¡°Senior Brother Jiao, let''s go.¡±


    Although Jiao Xiuyu had been trapped in the upper Xuan Realm because of various reasons for a long time, he was not stupid. He naturally understood that Ji Yuenian intended to support him, so after receiving Ji Yuenian''s message. He directly transformed into his demonic form and rushed towards Xing Yuan Peak.


    ¡°All right.¡±


    With that Jiao Xiuyu transformed into his demonic form. He gently stretched out his claws and grabbed the black-sleeved robe of Ji Yuenian''s left hand. The silver-white demon light glowed around his body and directly broke into the vague clouds of the sky.


    Shao Guang was compartmentalizing the courtyards of those new disciples with two General Disciples. He raised his head and saw Jiao Xiuyu taking Ji Yuenian away, and secretly thought in his heart.


    As soon as Junior Brother Ji entered the peak, he was surrounded by so many heavenly pride talents. It seemed that he had to find a way to get closer to him. Once he enteredd the Six Mountains and Three Realms in the future, he would be a veritable Holy Son. Then he would naturally soar to the sky, and people close would also rise with him.


    Shao Guang didn''t know much about Jiao Xiuyu who was far away at Eclipse Moon Peak, but the spirit dragon bloodline wasn''t particularly rare, but it wasn''t bad either. Even in the Xing Yuan Peak, except for the Astral Courtyard, he¡¯d still be offered a medium high ranked courtyard to stay in along with the treatment equal to his status.

 Ch. 70 - Luan

    Spirit Beast Peak.As soon as Jiao Xiuyu and Ji Yuenian landed on the suspended stone platform of the peak, a somewhat indifferent voice came in.


    ¡°Which peaks do you two come from? What business do you have on the Spirit Beast Peak?¡±


    A purple-robed disciple of the upper Xuan realm, who looked somber, stopped right in front of the two of them.


    Jiao Xiuyu was stupefied for a moment, then opened his mouth, ¡°The two of us are here because¡ª¡±


    ¡°Don''t you two know that Spirit Beast Peak is only open for five days at the end of each month during in recent times?¡± The purple-robed disciple interrupted him directly, ¡°Please, return.¡±


    ¡°Since you have no intention of listening to me, why do you bother ask?¡± Jiao Xiuyu was a little anxious for a moment.


    The purple-robed disciple gave him a somewhat disdainful look and said, ¡°It''s just a routine inquiry.¡±


    Ji Yuenian, who had been silent till now, opened his mouth, ¡°This senior brother, why do I not know that the Spirit Beast Peak is only open at the end of each month?¡±


    ¡°A few days ago, the Spirit Beast Peak deputy peak master brought dozens of Blue Feathered Luan (Mythical Bird) birds from the main sect. The disciples in the peak are very busy, so in the last two months it was decided we¡¯d only open at the end of each month.¡± Although the purple-robed disciple never watched the entrance examination, he recognized the psychic magic treasure, the black moon robe, which Ji Yuenian was wearing, and his tone softened a lot. ¡°These two junior brothers, please go back.¡±


    Ji Yuenian took out the green jade talisman from his sleeve and said, ¡°But the information I got in this jade talisman says that I can come to Spirit Beast Peak at any time to receive a Blue Feathered Luan bird.¡±


    Seeing the talisman, the purple-robed disciple¡¯s expression changed slightly, and his words restrained a lot: ¡°Junior Brother, dare I ask where does this talisman come from?¡±


    This green jade talisman in his hand was necessary to receive a Luan bird. Except for those wealthy disciples who directly purchased the Luan bird with primeval stones, those who came with the green jade talisman to the Spirit Beast Peak always had deep connections. Those were not people he could afford to offend as a Deputy General.


    ¡°This was the reward given by the sect after the entrance examination,¡± Ji Yuenian handed the sapphire talisman to him. ¡°Senior Brother, I wonder if I can enter the court to receive the Blue Feathered Luan bird?¡±


    ¡°After the assessment ¡­¡± The purple-robed disciple took the sapphire talisman, and after confirming that it was correct, he opened his mouth carefully. ¡°Dare I ask for Junior Brother¡¯s name?¡±


    ¡°Ji Yuenian.¡±


    ¡°It turns out that you are Ji Yuenian, who ranked first in the sect entrance examination!¡± The purple-robed disciple''s expression changed slightly. Although he had not watched the entrance examination, Ji Yuenian''s name was far spread, recently. He didn¡¯t dare hesitate and lead the two into the Spirit Beast Peak¡¯s hall.


    The Spirit Beast Peak Hall was extremely noisy, and among the eaves and pavilions, there were countless spirit birds roaring and chirping. Many of the peak¡¯s disciples were taking care of these spiritual birds in order, without the slightest mistake.


    Although these spirit birds had a high level of intelligence, they were all incapable of transforming, so they could only be used as appendages to be driven by many disciples in the Luoxia Mountains.


    Spiritual birds that could take shape were called demons.


    ¡°Junior Brother Ji, the Spirit Beast Peak is indeed not open at this time. You and this Junior Brother will have to wait in this courtyard for a while. I will personally select a few Blue Feathered Luan birds and bring them over.¡±


    While leading the two to an attic on the edge of the hall, the purple-robed disciple explained with a helpless look on his face.


    He was only a Deputy General. Even if the person who came to collect the spirit bird was Ji Yuenian, who was listed first in the sect assessment, he would not dare to bring him directly to the courtyard.


    Ji Yuenian and Jiao Xiuyu looked at each other, nodded, and said, ¡°Alright, Senior Brother.¡±


    After the purple-robed disciple left, Jiao Xiuyu couldn¡¯t help but grumble: ¡±Junior Brother Ji, the disciples of Spirit Beast Peak are really as arrogant and domineering as the rumors say. If it wasn''t for your special status, I''m afraid we wouldn''t even be able to enter this courtyard.¡±


    Ji Yuenian was a bit noncommittal, ¡°The Spirit Beast Peak has a special status. It is the only place in the Luoxia Mountains where you can get spiritual birds. The disciples who practice in it are all gifted, so it is not unusual for them to look down on the disciples of ordinary peaks. It is just human nature.¡±


    Hearing his reply, Jiao Xiuyu was slightly startled, carefully looked at Ji Yuenian and said, ¡°Junior Brother Ji, you¡¯re only sixteen years old, but why do you have such a good understanding of the world?¡±


    Ji Yuenian shook his head slightly, and stopped talking, but quietly carried ¡°Taiyu True Technique¡±, and unexpectedly sank into the practice in this courtyard.


    ¡°Taiyu Xuan Qing Gathering Spirit¡± is a basic practice of true skill, which was very important for Ji Yuenian, who only had divine power true skill before, and it was enough to increase his Xuan Qi sea by several times!


    It was not known how long passed, there were several chirping cries coming from the courtyard outside, Ji Yuenian opened his eyes and walked out of the attic with Jiao Xiuyu.


    ¡°Junior Brother Ji, I have selected three pure-blooded Blue Feathered Luan birds for you, all of which are of the highest quality.¡± The purple-robed disciple was followed by a few Spirit Beast Peak disciples, each holding a green jade talisman, urging three huge Luan birds with a wingspan of six or seven feet.


    Ji Yuenian took a few steps forward and approached the first Luan bird. This bird had a sturdy head and horns, and its aura was strong, but its eyes were lifeless and without vigor.


    ¡°This one''s cultivation is in the upper realm of Returning to the Truth, and it is enough to protect Junior Brother Ji within this Luoxia Mountain Range.¡± The purple-robed disciple spoke softly from the side.


    Shaking his head slightly, Ji Yuenian walked towards the second Blue feathered Luan bird.


    The feathers of this Luan bird were all azure, and there was a faint icy blue halo on the tip of the feather, magnificent and incomparable.


    Its eyes were very quiet, as he was measuring at it, it also seemed to be looking at him.


    ¡°This one has the best quality. Just a few days ago, it was driven from the main sect with another batch of Luan birds. Presently, it has the cultivation base of Returning to the Truth realm.¡± The purple-robed disciple explained while looking at this Blue Feather Luan bird. His words were quite complacent. ¡°Junior Brother Ji, if this Luan bird is converted into primeval stone, it will cost at least 120 stones!¡±


    The meaning behind his words couldn''t be any clearer.


    In order to befriend Ji Yuenian, this purple-robed disciple, within the authority of his control, took Ji Yuenian''s sapphire talisman and picked out a few high-quality Blue Feathered Luan birds. Ordinary Green Feathered Luan birds were worth eighty or ninety primeval stones, and the three Blue Feathered Luan birds in front of them were worth more than one hundred primeval stones each!


    ¡°Senior Brother is beneficent,¡± Ji Yuenian naturally wouldn''t pretend to be ignorant of the purple-robed disciple''s goodwill. After pondering for a moment, he pointed to the Luan bird in front of him. ¡°Then I will choose the second bird.¡±


    ¡°All right.¡±


    The purple-robed disciple ordered those disciples to bring the other two Luan Birds back to the courtyard, and pinched a seal in their hands. This was so that Ji Yuenian''s sapphire talisman was integrated into the jade talisman of the second Luan bird, and then directly handed it to Ji Yuenian.


    Ji Yuenian took over the brand new sapphire talisman and tried to penetrate a hint of his profound energy in it.


    An extremely mysterious sensation entered his heart and soul, he raised his head to look at this huge Blue Feathered Luan bird, his mind moved slightly.


    ¡°Wow!¡±


    The Luan bird gently spread its wings, a violent hurricane swept around it. In a moment, it flew to Ji Yuenian and neighed in a low voice.


    Jiao Xiuyu stood quietly on the side, with a startled look in his eyes, and praised: ¡°The Blue Feathered Luan bird is really blessed. This Luan bird only has a cultivation base of Returning to the Truth realm, but it can bring such tyrannical oppression. It''s terrifying.¡±


    The purple-robed disciple glanced at Jiao Xiuyu and said with a smile, ¡°How expensive is a spirit bird? The most common Blue Feathered Luan birds costs nearly a hundred primeval stones. An ordinary disciple, excluding those used for cultivation, may not be able to accumulate enough even to buy one in ten years. This spiritual bird is not only tyrannical, there are many other mysteries to it as well.¡±


    ¡°This time I have to thank Senior Brother.¡± Ji Yuenian¡¯s Yin Qi of heaven and earth surged on his feet, and he stepped on the air after a few breaths. He came to the back of this Blue Feathered Luan bird which was covered with azure feathers, facing the purple-robed disciple.


    He had the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost Bloodline, innate with the ability to control the Yin Qi of heaven and earth. Although he could not walk on air for a long time due to the limitation of his cultivation, it was still not a problem for him to rely on the Yin Qi of heaven and earth to hover in the air for a dozen breaths.


    After a little hesitation, the purple-robed disciple took out a communication jade talisman and said, ¡°Junior Brother Ji, this is my communication jade talisman, if it is convenient ...¡±


    With a nod Ji Yuenian waved a deep blue mysterious energy, took the jade talisman up, then turned toward Jiao Xiuyu: ¡°Senior Brother Jiao, come on up.¡± S~?a??h the N?velF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    The Blue Feathered Luan bird stood with its claws on the side of the stone platform at this time, and its back was several feet above that of the stone platform. Jiao Xiuyu responded, and his body glowed with silver white light, and he directly leaped to the back of Luan bird.

 Ch. 71 - Jade Terrace Realm

    Taiyu Holy Sect, Jade Terrace Realm.¡°A Tong Xuan Heart Ghost Bloodline descendant has been born in the Luoxia Mountains Range.¡±


    He sat on the futon, his old Taoist robe creased and wrinkled, and his attention drew to the bronze statue that was enshrined behind the desk.


    The hall was very dark, with only dozens of shaky lights, and even the hall outside was dead silent, without a single living being.


    Even the great masters within the Jade Terrace Realm seemed to have forgotten that there was an ancient hall that had been neglected for a long time at the corner.


    The face of the idol was vague. But as if responding to the man''s words, a hazy gray light condensed from the feet of the statue, and in a moment it turned into an old man in a gray robe.


    The old man wore a crown of nine beads on his head, his gray robe was covered with dense divine seal inscriptions, and the aura surrounding him tumbled wildly, like an abyss.


    "Yu Jingtian, if I remember correctly, you haven''t spoken for 23,000 years, have you?¡±


    The gray-robed old man lowered his gaze and looked at the Taoist who was still sitting on the futon.


    The man just laughed to himself.


    ¡°Yu Jingtian.¡± The gray-robed old man still maintained enough patience.


    ¡°You, the high and mighty City God, still remembers me ¡­¡± Yu Jingtian stood up and pulled the lapels of his wrinkled Taoist robe.


    The gray-robed old man flicked his sleeves, and hundreds of specks of light lit up in the hall. Suddenly, the hall, which was dim, became bright as day.


    ¡°Don''t forget, this hall is one of my several dedicated shrines.¡± the City God seemed a little helpless, ¡°You have stayed here for more than 20,000 years, and I can¡¯t seem to drive you away. Tell me, how can I forget?¡±


    Yu Jingtian pointed outside and said with a smile: ¡°This Jade Terrace Realm, this Taiyu Holy Sect, can it still accommodate me?¡±


    The City God was silent. s?a??h th? N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    The Taiyu Holy Sect was a behemoth that traverses the entire Yuanyan Earth Realm, and the gray-robed old man was the Yuanyan City God who was in charge of all the Heaven and Earth Gods in the Yuanyan Earth Realm. The relationship between the two was extremely complicated. It was inconvenient for this City God to say more about the internal affairs of the Taiyu Holy Sect.


    ¡°The bloodline of the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost is really rare,¡± the gray-robed old man was silent for a moment, and continued, ¡°and within the boundaries of Yuanyan, there have been no transitional creatures born for thousands of years. Where did the bloodline of the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost come from?¡±


    Yu Jingtian sat back on the futon again, and said feebly, ¡°Can''t you trace it back to the source?¡±


    The gray-robed old man glanced at him, then closed his eyes slightly. The divine imprint on his robe shone with dazzling divine light, and a vast and ethereal aura surged out around him.


    After a few breaths, he opened his eyes, and there were obvious emotional fluctuations in his tone, and said in a deep voice: ¡°The Tong Xuan Heart Ghost has already survived the three disasters since he was born, and he has the power to reverse the heaven and earth (course of life), which is beyond my divine power to scry. However, there are some traces left on the body of this Tong Xuan Heart Ghost Bloodline descendant.¡±-


    ¡°Why is your tone a little off?¡± Yu Jingtian''s mind stirred and he asked.


    Yuanyan City God''s expression was more solemn and said, ¡°You can see for yourself.¡±


    As he lifted his hand, a light curtain condensed out from the hall, and several extremely clear pictures appeared one by one.


    ¡­


    ¡°What are you holding in your hand?¡±


    Ji Hong''s tone trembled slightly.


    Zhao Yinyue raised her finger and showed a piece of wood carving.


    It was a creature that Ji Hong had never seen before.


    This spirit was standing barefoot, surrounded by fiery golden silk and crimson, with six magic weapons floating behind it: bell, drum, wooden fish, golden bowl, mortar and pestle, and a treasure hammer.


    ¡°Yue''er, what is this?!¡± Fear grew within Ji Hong''s heart and soul, ¡°Here, we only worship the god of the land of Taichu! What evil woodcarving are you holding!?¡±


    Zhao Yinyue breathed: ¡°The spirit carved in this wooden sculpture is not the righteous gods of heaven and earth in Northern Luzhou. Rather It''s ''Luohan'', have you heard of it?¡±


    Northern Luzhou was under the jurisdiction of the Thirty-Three Heavenly Courts, where the living beings in it worship countless gods of heaven and earth as well as Taoist deities.


    ¡°Yue''er, what is wrong with you?¡±


    ¡°I just knew what my destiny was.¡± The girl sighed and casually put the wooden sculpture down.


    It was only then that Ji Hong realized that there were several other wooden sculptures of different shapes and forms in her hand. Although they differed slightly from the ¡°Luohan¡±, they were very similar in some ways.


    ¡­


    ¡°What kind of wood carving is that, why have I never seen it?¡±


    The light curtain faded away and Yu Jingtian had long since stood up straight with a grave expression


    The City God was a little hesitant to speak.


    Seeing this, Yu Jingtian''s brows scrunched up as he said, ¡°The Tong Xuan Heart Ghost Bloodline is extremely important. In some respects, it is even related to the development of the Taiyu Holy Sect for ten thousand years in the future. Although I have some sordid dealings with the sect, I do not dare to be the least bit negligent in this matter.¡±


    After the long silence the City God opened his mouth, ¡°Do you know that beyond the almost endless and vast territory of the Northern Luzhou, there is a remote world beyond reach?¡±


    Yu Jingtian nodded and said: ¡°Although Northern Luzhou is vast, it is not really endless. I have known from ancient books that there are the other three major provinces, the Thirty Three Heavenly Courts, Twenty Four Sacred Realms between heaven and earth, and there are countless immortal islands and divine courts.¡±


    ¡°The vastness of the heavens and the earth is beyond speculation,¡± the City God nodded and continued, ¡°Even a tyrannical creature like you in the Divine Palace realm of spirits has never even ventured out from this small Yuanyan realm.¡±


    Yu Jingtian frowned, but did not refute.


    Yuanyan City God glanced at him and continued: ¡°I used to be a small deified creature of the small Suyan Mountain God, and cultivated hard for more than 100,000 years. Only after breaking through three stages, was I able to attain the position of a City God of Yuanyan Earth Realm.


    ¡°After I attained the status of the City God, the City God imprint that I came up with had many memories inside, so I had some idea of the provenance of the wooden sculpture.


    ¡°The creatures carved on it does not exist in Northern Luzhou, but comes from the legendary Xi (West) Niu Hezhou.¡±


    Yu Jingtian murmured in a low voice: ¡°Xi Niu Hezhou, a place that exists only in records.¡±


    With a snort, the Yuanyan City God said: ¡°The records in those ancient books are almost all true, but you are too young to have seen it in your lifetime.¡±


    ¡°Then this Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline, should we re-cultivate it or not?¡± In Yu Jingtian''s eyes, there was a bit of thought.


    ¡°This is the matter of your Taiyu Holy Sect, and it has nothing to do with me.¡± Yuanyan City God shook his head, lightly flicked his sleeves, and left the hall, followed by the divine light.


    Yu Jingtian was dazed for a while, then suddenly laughed out loud to himself.


    ¡°Forget it, although I still hold the position of Jade Terrace Realm Master, but almost no one in the Taiyu Holy Sect knows me, so why should I be so concerned about the sect¡¯s affairs?¡±


    After these words, he sat back down on the futon and regained his feeble appearance, and the hall gradually dimmed down until it was completely dark and dead.

 Ch. 72 - Qingluan

    A raging gale ripped apart the layer of clouds as the Luan bird took off, and a green spiritual light surrounded its body. At the same time, an invincible shield formed on its back, which protected Ji Yuenian and Jiao Xiuyu.Standing at the bird¡¯s back, Jiao Xiuyu stared at the rapidly rolling and retreating clouds indiscriminately.


    ¡°Senior Brother Jiao, what''s wrong?¡± Noticing the strangeness, Ji Yuenian asked softly.


    With a sigh, he said, ¡°Not only is there no Peak Master at the Eclipsed Moon Peak, but even the General Disciples are unorganized. Only by cultivating to the True Dao Realm can we break out of this cage.¡±


    Ji Yuenian also fell silent after hearing this. S?a?ch* Th? ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Though he held a special status now, he was without the ability to change peaks for Jiao Xinyu.


    His name and peak had already been recorded in the sect¡¯s registry in the Hall of Records. Once the mountain of a disciple was determined, it was extremely difficult to change it.


    ¡°I just happen to be going to the Eclipsed Moon Peak.¡± After a pause he added, ¡°Sixty-two, go straight to the Eclipsed Moon Peak court.¡±


    [ED note: Sixty-Two ¨C Liushi¡¯er.]


    The Luan bird let out a low neigh, its wings fluttering slightly; the speed of the bird increased by several times, turning into a blue rainbow that penetrated the depths of the sea of clouds.


    Eclipsed Moon Peak, the upper court.


    ¡°Junior Brother Ji,¡± Jiao Xiuyu¡¯s eyes turned strange, and he finally asked the doubts he had been holding the whole ride: ¡°Is this ¡°Sixty-two¡± the name of the blue-feathered Luan bird?¡±


    Ji Yuenian nodded, ¡°The jade talisman it had was numbered ¡°62¡± among the rest of the blue-feathered Luan birds in the Spirit Beast Peak. Since it was already referred to as such, I haven¡¯t given it another name.¡±


    Hearing his insouciant reply, Jiao Xiuyu¡¯s expression turned even stranger and couldn''t help but say, ¡°Junior Brother Ji, I also happen to know two brothers who own spirit birds like this Luan bird. These kinds of birds in the Divine Sea Realm are indispensable to them, therefore, they¡¯re given a name, Junior Brother. If you merely retain the name ¡°Sixty-two¡±, I¡¯m afraid, it would be too casual.¡±


    Ji Yuenian glanced at the blue-feathered Luan bird resting on the stone platform, and said casually, ¡°Then call it ¡®Xiao Qing¡¯.¡±


    ¡°I''ve seen Senior Brother Ji and Senior Brother Jiao.¡± A disciple from the Eclipsed Moon Peak¡¯s upper court walked over and after the respectful greetings, he continued with a smile, ¡°Senior Brother Ji''s spiritual bird is majestic, quiet like a deep sea, it is really excellent. It''s just that among the disciples who have a Luan bird, ten out of eight have named their bird ''Xiao Qing''. So how can they match the distinguished status of Senior Brother Ji?¡±


    Jiao Xiuyu looked at the disciple and asked, ¡°According to this junior brother''s words, what should the name of Junior Brother Ji''s spirit bird be?¡±


    Although the disciple was extremely respectful in his words, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. He cupped his hands towards Ji Yuenian and said, ¡°In my opinion, it should be called ¡®Qingluan¡¯, which means that this spirit bird can be like Senior Brother Ji, soaring straight to the Nine Heavens Tower.¡±


    Jiao Xiuyu said with a frown, ¡°Although the Luan bird belongs to the branch bloodline of Qingluan, it is not Qingluan after all.¡±


    ¡°Which is why it''s called ¡®Qingluan¡¯,¡± the disciple glanced at Jiao Xiuyu and explained, ¡°Qingluan is a different species, and it is extremely rare. Any blue-feathered Luan bird is likely to be reunited with its ancestors. This blue-feathered Luan bird is now following Senior Brother Ji and one day it will be able to turn into a real Qingluan.¡±


    His words were extremely clever, not only being true to his previous words, but also holding Ji Yuenian with regard leaving Xiuyu speechless.

 Ch. 73 - Sect Mission

    ¡°Senior Brother Ji.¡± The sound of Xu Xiao''s greeting sounded in his ears.To Ji Yuenian''s surprise, this person had been waiting outside the gate of the Eclipsed Moon Peak, and had never left.


    ¡°You need not be polite.¡± He waved his hand and led Xu Xiao towards the direction of the stone platform.


    ¡°Senior Brother Ji, how are your preparations for entering the sect mission going?¡± Xu Xiao thought for a moment and spoke.


    Ji Yuenian''s eyes moved slightly, knowing that Xu Xiao was referring to the sect tasks that each disciple must complete within the specified time limit after entering the sect.


    Among them, there were two single-person tasks, which must be completed within a year after entering the sect; and one multi-person task, which must be completed within two years after entering the sect.


    By his expression, Xu Xiao knew that he had not yet prepared for the sect mission, and said with a smile: ¡°I have a long-held multi-person mission, and I¡¯d like to dedicate it to Senior Brother Ji.¡±


    Ji Yuenian glanced at him sideways and asked, ¡°Where does this mission come from?¡±


    ¡°I took up this task half a year ago from the Hall of Sect Affairs. Someone had offered 60 primeval stones to buy it, but I did not transfer it.¡± Taking the jade talisman from his sleeves, he handed it over to Ji Yuenian, while saying, ¡°There is still half a year before the mission task ends.¡±


    Taking over the talisman, Ji Yuenian probed it with a trace of Xuan Qi, and dense fragments of information emerged from it.


    The Taoist temple, located in the deepest part of the Luoxia Mountains, was built by scattered cultivators in the wilderness. Among them, there are four people in the upper Nascent Xuan Realm, nine people in the beginning Nascent Xuan Realm, and dozens of ordinary martial artists.


    The Luoxia Mountains belong to the Taiyu Holy Sect, and any creature that occupies them for private purposes is guilty of a capital crime.


    Now the Hall of Sect Affairs ordered the disciples to go to temple and kill all the living beings there. The reward was 100 primeval stones.¡±


    There was a map of the Luoxia Mountains inside the jade talisman, and a small, imperceptible light dot was located deep inside the map, flashing unceasingly.


    Xu Xiao stepped forward and explained, ¡°Senior Brother Ji, this kind of task is the most popular. The Hall of Sect Affairs only needs to kill the creatures, and there are a lot of things that can be obtained from the extermination of a complete Taoist lineage. The amount of the value to be obtained is unimaginable.¡±


    Handing the jade talisman back to him, Ji Yuenian asked: ¡°It''s been half a year since you accepted this task, why haven''t you completed it yet?¡±


    Xu Xiao said frankly: ¡°When I was looking for a mission in the Hall of Sect Affairs, I came across this task and I directly took it. It has been up for sale for the past six months. If someone offers 70 primeval stones, I''d be willing to sell it.¡±


    Although Ji Yuenian had never done any sect missions, he also knew that the scope of the Luoxia Mountains was not only the hundreds of peaks of the Outer sect but also a wider territory in the depths. This was where there were demon spirits and ghosts dwelling, and scattered cultivation clans. In some respects, these creatures had been completely reduced to the task targets of the disciples of the Taiyu Holy Sect.


    As for the crime of ¡°invading the Luoxia Mountains¡±, it was even more illusory. In contrast to the Luoxia Mountains, which were vast, the Outer sect only comprised of only about a few hundreds of peaks.


    The disciples in charge of the Hall of Sect Affairs had long been instructed to adopt a non-involvement like attitude towards the spirits in the Luoxia Mountains. And from time to time, select a few well-developed forces to add them to the clan task to hone the disciples.


    If it weren¡¯t for the detailed map annotation in the mission jade slip, finding a Taoist temple in the vast Luoxia Mountains was much more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.


    This kind of mission was highly sought after and was instantly snatched up the disciples who had managed to first see it.


    If there was no sect mission, no disciple could strike at the spirits in the depths of the Luoxia Mountains at will, and this was also an extremely important consideration for the Hall of Sect Affairs.


    This also gave those demon spirits and ghosts, wilderness scattered cultivators, a lot of fortuitous luck.


    After all, the Luoxia Mountains could be regarded as a complete and huge common Qi meridian. The establishment of Taoist temple here has the effect of strengthening Qi for the living beings on hundreds of peaks which were located at the head of the Qi veins. Having eaten the meat clean, they were satisfied with some soup in the distance.


    While talking, the two of them arrived at the court stone platform.


    ¡°Junior Brother Ji, this ¡®Qingluan¡¯ is really grumpy.¡± Pointing to the Luan bird that neighed lowly beside him Jiao Xiu Yu said, ¡°Just now a disciple passed by, and he was almost caught up in its mouth.¡±


    Ji Yuenian frowned slightly, looked at the Luan bird beside Jiao Xiutyu, who tilted its head and looked elsewhere. Then he took out the sapphire talisman and moved it a little closer to the bird, and it gradually became quiet.


    ¡°I was negligent about this matter,¡± Ji Yuenian''s feet were filled with Yin Qi, and he stepped on Qingluan''s back. ¡°This jade talisman can''t be too far from this Luan bird, otherwise there is a risk of losing control over it.¡±


    Jiao Xiuyu nodded, ¡°Then I''ll retire to the courtyard first.¡±


    ¡°As you deem fit.¡±


    The wings of Qingluan unfurled, as it flapped its wings the fierce wind howled and in an instant, it fled miles away from Eclipsed Moon Peak.


    Ji Yuenian stood quietly on Qingluan''s back. His black robes fluttered against the wind, while he stared at the majestic Luoxia Mountains between the clouds and mist. There were a few azure stars in his eyes.


    Xing Yuan Peak


    A lot of disciples could be seen outside the Astral Academy, all of whom wanted to meet Ji Yuenian.


    The fact that Ji Yuenian served as a General Disciple of Xing Yuan Peak had long been passed down. The authority of the General Disciple was extremely powerful, and there was no shortage of temptations, so a lot of people followed suit.


    ¡°Brother Ji is back!¡±


    ¡°Brother Ji!¡±


    An enormous shadow was cast. Qingluan slowly landed outside the Xing Yuan Courtyard. There was a faint icy blue halo covering the Luan bird, which was extremely beautiful.


    ¡°Is this blue-feathered Luan bird Senior brother Ji¡¯s bird? It¡¯s really of a supreme quality.¡±


    ¡°As soon as he entered the sect, he possesses a spiritual bird of True Dao Realm. Senior Brother Ji is indeed rich!¡±


    ¡°What do you know? This is reward from the sect, senior brother didn¡¯t spend primeval stones to buy it.¡±


    Standing on Qingluan''s back, Ji Yuenian listened to the noisy discussions of disciples outside the Astral Academy, his brows furrowed slightly.


    At a glance he could see, the disciples standing outside all had either Grade 7 or Grade 6 Heart Fire Sequence, and there were few with good qualifications.


    Before he could open his mouth, Zhan Ming''s voice came from afar: ¡°Don''t make noise here! In the future, those who come to the Astral Academy and cause a disturbance will be punished with two primeval stones.¡±


    As soon as this statement came out, those disciples exploded in an instant, and many of them knew Zhan Ming, and one after another they began to refute: ¡°Zhan Ming, you are a disciple of the Scattered Star Court (San Xing Ting), what does the matter of Forgotten Star Court (Wang Xing Ting) have to do with you?¡±


    ¡°A mere monster, why don''t you hurry and get lost?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re here to see Senior Brother Ji, not you, so it¡¯s none of your business.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about.¡±


    Hearing their voice Zhan Ming''s complexion changed slightly, and he used his demon power in the upper realm of the Nascent Xuan Realm, and said loudly: ¡°I am now a Deputy General by Senior Brother Ji''s side. If there are people who don¡¯t abide the rules, you can try facing the consequences!¡±


    Hearing the word ¡®Deputy General¡¯, the riotous bunch quieted down a lot, but there was still doubt in their eyes.


    Ji Yuenian nodded and said softly from Qingluan''s back: ¡°Forgotten Star Court¡¯s Lu Mingxi and Scattered Star Court¡¯s Zhan Ming, these two are my Deputy Generals, and I give them the authority befitting a General Disciple.¡±


    ¡°What!?¡±


    ¡°Zhan Ming, this fellow ¡­ When did he climb up to Senior Brother Ji!¡±


    Seeing the situation was not right, the two most ruthless disciples who had been clamoring paled, and they wanted to leave Xing Yuan Peak.


    ¡°Stop.¡± Seeing the moment Zhan Ming stepped forward to stop the two disciples, ¡°Just now you said that I am a ¡®merely monster¡¯? And you ¡­¡¯?¡±


    ¡°Senior Brother Zhan, I didn''t say that. It really wasn''t me.¡± The disciple no longer had the arrogance of the past and anxiously explained.


    The other disciple also went pale, unable to utter a single word.


    Before, they dared to yell at Zhan Ming because he was just an ordinary disciple of the Scattered Star Court, and on top of that, he was a monster, so he couldn''t do anything to them at all.


    But now, with Ji Yuenian¡¯s acknowledgement, Zhan Ming''s status has changed a lot in an instant. It was very simple to toss two ordinary disciples who held no positions.


    A cold light flashed across Zhan Ming''s eyes, and he looked around among the disciples, and said, ¡°If you wait for your first offense, you will not be held accountable. But these two have disturbed Senior Brother Ji''s practice and disturbed the residence of the General Disciple, which is a heinous crime!¡±


    ¡°Brother Zhan! Please be more lenient!¡±


    ¡°Senior Brother Zhan, please don''t demote me to a handyman disciple!¡±


    The two directly knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.


    The most awe-inspiring authority of the General Disciples was that they could directly relegate the Outer Sect Disciples to the handyman disciples!


    Although this punishment was extremely severe for the Outer Sect disciples, it was extremely effective in facilitating the General Disciples to manage the mountain peaks.


    Once the General Disciple has convicted a disciple of the Outer Sect Disciple, they would be reviewed by the peak master. If the review was passed, then the disciple would lose his status as an Outer Sect Disciple and became a lowly handyman disciple!


    Ji Yuenian was at the Xing Yuan Peak now. If Zhan Ming used his name to demote these two to handyman disciples, there was no reason for Xing Yuan Peak''s main hall to fail the review! S~?a??h the N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Zhan Ming looked at the two playfully, and said, ¡°22 primeval stones per person, to atone for the guilt.¡±


    Hearing this, one of them was very happy and directly pulled out a storage bag, and took out all the primeval stone in it and handed it to him. ¡°Senior Brother Zhan.¡±


    After handing 22 stones he only has 3 left. Apparently, the twenty-three primveal stones in the storage bag were the treasures he had saved for an unknown period of time.


    The other disciple was a little unlucky and pleaded, ¡°Senior Brother Zhan, I only have twelve primeval stones now, can I give you the remaining eight primeval stones in a year.¡±


    Even though Zhan Ming was talking to the two, he had been paying attention to the expressions of the other disciples, seeing that the eyes of many of them have changed and knowing that the heat was almost over, he nodded and said: ¡°Forget it, you two are also first offenders, so I will let you go once, so go down.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Senior Brother Zhan!¡±


    By now, the disciples standing outside the Astral Academy didn¡¯t dare stay any longer, after greeting Ji Yuenian, they left one after another.


    Zhan Ming took out an empty storage bag, put the thirty-two primeval stones in it, hurried up to him, and handed it over: ¡°Senior Brother Ji.¡±


    Instead of picking up Ji Yuenian directly opened the formation of the Astral Academy and said, ¡°Come in and talk.¡±


    Zhan Ming followed him to the second floor and the two took their seats on the Star Gazing Jade Mat.


    ¡°Senior Brother Ji, is this appropriate?" Zhan Ming''s expression was a little apprehensive.


    Ji Yuenian was noncommittal and said, ¡°Since you and Lu Ming are Deputy Generals, you have all the authority of a General Disciple. So you can make your own decision when you encounter something, you don''t need to report everything to me.¡±


    Zhan Ming nodded, secretly pondering the meaning of Ji Yuenian''s words.


    ¡°Junior Brother Zhan, if I¡¯m not mistaken, you must have the bloodline of a black-patterend demon tiger, right?¡±


    Ji Yuenian''s words fell on to his ears.

 Ch. 74 - Mission

    After being stunned for a moment, Zhan Ming replied subconsciously: ¡°Yes, Senior Brother Ji, I am a pure black-patterned demon tiger from the ancient city of Yinxiao.¡±Ji Yuenian nodded lightly, and took out an object and placed it on the table, saying, ¡°The bloodline of the black-patterned demon tiger is very rare, and it is not far from the superior bloodline. You are qualified to barely practice this true art.¡±


    It was a jade talisman with Xuan energy lingering on it. Apparently, it had just been carved.


    Taking the jade talisman from the table, Zhan Ming probed it for a moment, then his eyes lit up with surprise, and asked excitedly, ¡°It''s such a precious skill, Senior Brother Ji, how did you make it?¡±


    ¡°This true skill is extremely suitable for spiritual creatures to practice. Although you are a demon body, it is not too difficult to practice, so take it.¡± Ji Yuenian said softly.


    Hearing this, a complex look appeared in Zhan Ming''s eyes as he rose from his seat and bowed respectfully toward Ji Yuenian, saying, ¡°Thank you, Brother Ji, for giving me the spell!¡±


    ¡°Well, you may leave.¡±


    After the greeting, he respectfully retired, but his mind never completely calmed down until he left the Astral Academy.


    The ¡°Spirit Devouring Incantation¡± was an additional branch of the Great Compassion Incantation. It could devour the soul of a living being under certain harsh conditions, proliferating the user¡¯s cultivation.


    However, it had one consequence, that was, countless casualties would be entangled, multiplying the power of the three major calamities after a long time.


    It''s just that the legendary realm required to cross the three major calamities, it did not differ from the legend in the Yuan Yan realm, so the theory of cause and effect had become a complete joke.


    Spiritual creatures and demons were suited for this incantation, since demons differed from humans and had special ways of escaping cause and effect. Such as shedding shells, returning to spirits, seizing bodies, etc., all of these methods could somehow get rid of the component of cause and effect on a demon¡¯s body.


    For several years, Zhan Ming was trapped in the upper realm of Xuan realm; this time, with the help of the ¡°Spirit Devouring Incantation¡±, he could expect to advance to the True Dao realm. S?a??h the Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    After the to and fro and the commotion, it was already midday. The sun was hanging at the top of the midday sky.


    Sitting on the stargazing jade couch, Ji Yuenian lowered his gaze and looked down at the magnificent and bright Xing Yuan, which was surrounded by a rich Xuan Qi.


    In just half a day, he cultivated ¡°Tai Yu Xuan Qing Gathering Spiritual True Skill¡± to the upper level of the Nascent Xuan Realm, with the terrifying blessing of psychic karma. The pure Heavenly Green Xuan Qi thoroughly permeated the Xuan Sea of the divine Palace, devouring all the Zhan Qing Xuan Qi and Golden Xuan Qi.


    ¡°Tai Yu Zhen Jue¡± was an orthodox basic cultivation technique. Ji Yuenian re-condensed the Xuan Sea with this Xuan Qi, which was much stronger than the Xuan Qi condensed by the previous Divine Power Technique, and the profound essence of the Xuan Sea increased by several folds!


    Strange tricks, true Dao.


    Although the quirks were changeable, they were not the same in the end. Only when the foundation was upright, infinite like heaven and earth, and inexhaustible like the river and sea, can we achieve the Great Dao.


    Likewise, the time passed quickly and in the blink of an eye night flashed and morning arrived.


    Mao [Dawn] (05:00 - 07:00 am).


    As the sun rose, the morning glow filled the sky.


    By the time Ji Yuenian opened his eyes, the blazing golden sun shone from above. Sitting on the stargazing jade couch, he looked at the sky. The Heavenly Green Xuan Qi rapidly flowed around him, refining the substratum of the Xuan Sea of the Divine Palace at every moment.


    When one cultivates in the upper realm of Xuan realm, the Xuan Qi in the Xuan Sea forms its own cycle and grows constantly.


    As his pale and slender fingers danced one after another, pinching on the seal, dozens of green real lights burst forth, turning into countless green lotus blooming on the side with an unparalleled protective power.


    It was the true magic of supernatural powers that mainly focused on protection, ¡°True Green Wood Transformation Technique.¡±


    With Ji Yuenian''s enlightenment and talent, he could already activate this technique, and constituted more than 20 green lotuses to protect him from the side on the first attempt. This protection alone was impossible for ordinary creatures in upper Xuan realm.


    After dispersing green lotuses by his side, Ji Yuenian took a wooden sword from his side. Infused with Xuan Qi, the sword rose with a white light streaked with a bright sword aura from its tip.


    Spiritual magic weapon, the Royal Spirit Ebony Sword.


    Looking down at the three-footed wooden sword filled with white light, his eyes filled with some doubt.


    For some reason, in the past few days, the spiritual energy of this Ebony Sword had become more and more abundant. It became more and more compatible with his own bloodline, when he held it in his hand, he had a feeling that it was at his disposal.


    Suddenly, a scene emerged from his memory.


    The Holy Son of Tai Qing, with his foot on the sword, said with laughter, ¡°I originally wanted to see if there were any Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline descendants born among your blood relatives, but found that ¡­ it was too late. If you have time, head back and take a look.¡±


    Recalling the words of the Tai Qing Saint Son, and thinking of the Royal Spirit Ebony Sword, Ji Yuenian pondered.


    The Ji family in the ancient city of Taichu should have had some sort of accident.


    At least half of the thousands of Ji family bloodlines in Anyang City had disappeared, otherwise this Royal Spirit Ebony Sword, which was closely related to the Ji family, would never have undergone such obvious changes.


    The fewer the bloodline descendants of the Ji family, the stronger the power of the bloodline within this Spirit Magic weapon, and this is where it differs from the normal Spirit Magic weapons.


    The bloodline Spirit Magic weapons or treasures were an extremely special existence. The refining process was extremely complicated for them. It could be used as a cultivation family''s inheritance object, and was truly miraculous.


    It seemed that this Ebony Sword was a Spirit Magic weapon with limited growth. If Ji Yuenian was the only person left in the Ji family bloodline, then the power of the Ji family¡¯s bloodline in this treasure would be fully stimulated. Its rank would also be raised to the highest grade of Spirit Magic treasure, similar to the two-meter landscape map given by the Lord of Luoxia Mountains!


    Holding the sword, Ji Yuenian dissipated the Xuan Qi on it. The three-foot wooden sword restored to its normal state. He put it away as he got down the stargazing jade couch.


    Out the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a storage bag on the side of the table. He stepped forward and took the pouch and saw thirty-two primeval stones neatly placed in it.


    Zhan Ming had quietly left a pouch behind as he left.


    Seeing this Ji Yuenian shook his head slightly, took out all the thirty-two primeval stones in it, and put them together with the rest of the of primeval stones on him.


    By now he had more than 680 primeval stones in his storage seal.


    This was an unimaginably huge amount of resources.


    Even for the many disciples in the peak who had been in the True Dao realm for many years, their entire fortune could only amount to a few dozen primeval stones.


    ¡°Dao Yan Guan.¡±


    After much consideration, a jade talisman appeared on his hand. After a line of characters was engraved in it, the jade talisman was passed out through the protective formation of the Astral Academy.


    Although he was equipped with all kinds of divine techniques, he wasn¡¯t familiar with most of them. Only by going through the real life and death combat could he improve his combat power from the root.


    The multi-person mission held by Xu Xiao was an opportunity.


    The reward for this mission wasn¡¯t just the 100 primeval stones from the temple of the Service Peak, but also the spiritual resources and the inheritance of Taoism in the Taoist Temple, which were the hidden rewards, and that was why this kind of mission was so popular.


    If it weren¡¯t for the mission jade talisman in Xu Xiao''s hands, it would be impossible to find a small Taoist temple within the vast Luoxia Mountains.


    What''s more, if the disciples of the Outer Sect did not have a task mission at hand, it would be a grave sin to strike privately at the spirits, ghosts, and scattered cultivators in the Luoxia Mountains.

 Ch. 75 - The Long Night

    The Astral courtyard was in the extreme west of Wangxing Court, on the side of the cliff. It was very quiet, with few traces of people on weekdays.However, today the Astral courtyard was a hive of activity, with more than ten disciples gathered here. All who were exquisite, lofty and, of course, not plebeian.


    ¡°Senior Brother Zhan, is this Senior Brother Ji¡¯s spirit bird?¡±


    A disciple in the upper level of the Nascent Xuan Realm looked at the huge Luan Bird on the south side of the Astral Academy, his eyes full of envy.


    Zhan Ming nodded his head in acknowledgement and explained: ¡°Although this Luan bird''s cultivation is only at the True Dao realm, its qualifications and bloodline are of the highest quality. It is even considered a top pedigree among the birds within the Spirit Beast Peak.¡±


    Almost all the scattered Star Court disciples in the Xingyuan Peak¡¯s courtyard came, and surrounded Zhan Ming. This time Ji Yuenian sent Lu Mingxi and Zhan Ming to gather people to do the task. So almost all the disciples who were close to him were brought over.


    Boo!


    The hissing sound came from afar, and among the clouds and mists, Lu Mingxi who was standing on the blue-feathered Luan bird slowly landed, followed by a pretty girl in red.


    Zhan Ming greeted him and said with a smile, ¡°Junior Brother Lu certainly is affluent.¡±


    Lu Mingxi was the descendant of Lu Chongguang, the leader of Xuan Yuan Peak. Xuan Yuan Peak was one of the top ten peaks in the Luoxia Mountains. The Lu family in power was extremely wealthy. So it was not unusual for Lu Mingxi to spend nearly a hundred primeval stones to buy this blue-feathered Luan Bird.


    The scattered disciples didn''t know Lu Mingxi, but seeing Zhan Ming being familiar with him, they stepped forward and respectfully greeted him ¡®Senior Brother Lu¡¯.


    Ninety percent of the disciples who could own a Luan Bird within the Luoxia Mountains had a very deep background.


    The price of the Luan bird was often 80 or 90 primeval stone, which was beyond the reach of ordinary disciples. Even if a disciple with years of experience saved enough primeval stones (100), he would never be willing to buy a Luan bird, instead he would use the primeval stones on more important cultivation resources.


    Jumping off from the Luan Bird, Lu Mingxi cupped his hands towards Zhan Ming, and said, ¡°I''m quite familiar with Wu Tongshi in the Spirit Beast Peak, this blue-feather Luan bird¨Cwho is in the upper True Dao realm¨Conly cost me 60 primeval stones, so it isn¡¯t right to say that I¡¯m rich.¡±


    Almost all the surrounding disciples heard this, and they all secretly slandered him in his heart. Lu Mingxi''s ¡°only 60 primeval stones¡± made them both envy and jealousy.


    Ordinary Outer Sect disciples only had two primeval stones per month, so it would take nearly three years for them to save up 60 primeval stones, that too without involving any and all expenses.


    Lu Mingxi, a new disciple of the Outer Sect, held sway over so many primeval stones and bough a blue-feathered Luan bird at the True Dao realm. Even in the sixth-ranked Xing Yuan Peak, this kind of behavior was not very common.


    While the two were talking, a low growling sound came into their ears, and everyone looked up, and a silvery-white spirit auger grasping a green-robed disciple slowly came down.


    It was Jiao Xiuyu and Xu Xiao from Eclipsed Moon Peak.


    Lu Mingxi narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Xiao in Jiao Xiuyu''s claws from a distance, while saying, ¡°If my guess is right, the person who gave Senior Brother Ji''s multi-person mission this time should be him.¡±


    Zhan Ming also looked towards Xu Xiao and said, ¡°At first glance, this person doesn''t have much to offer, it''s very ordinary.¡±


    Lu Mingxi shook his head, ¡°Senior Brother Ji has always been quite knowledgeable,¡± and continued ¡°this Xu Xiao is just standing here on the surface with a multi-person mission, but this person must have something special that we haven''t taken notice to yet.¡±


    After these words, the light shield outside the Astral Academy gradually collapsed, and the young man in the ink moon robe walked out of it.


    Lu Mingxi and Zhan Ming walked over, cupped their hands and said, ¡°I have seen Senior Brother Ji!¡±


    ¡°I''ve seen Senior Brother Ji!¡± S?a??h th? N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    More than a dozen disciples bowed their heads and greeted respectfully.


    ¡°No need to be polite,¡± Ji Yuenian looked at Xu Xiao beside Jiao Xiu Yu, ¡°Junior Brother Xu, you can activate the mission order now.¡±


    Xu Xiao looked around, he seemed to want to say something but stopped.


    Zhan Ming took a step forward and said with a smile: ¡°Senior Brother Ji doesn''t know. The mission is limited to 10 people. This Junior Brother Xu probably doesn''t know whose name to register for the mission.¡±


    Jiao Xu Yu didn''t know the people of Xing Yuan Peak, so he just stood there and watched silently.


    Lu Mingxi turned slightly, revealing the pretty girl in red behind him, and said to Ji Yuenian, ¡°Senior Brother Ji, this girl is my new concubine. I want to take her with me, can I?¡±


    The girl was dressed in a bright red veil, with delicate eyebrows and beautiful eyes, which were extremely moving.


    Standing behind Lu Mingxi, Qiao saluted Ji Yuenian: ¡°Zhao Qiao has met Senior Brother Ji.¡±


    Ji Yuenian was noncommittal and said, ¡°No need to be polite, Junior Brother Lu, you and Junior Brother Zhan will choose a few people to make up the numbers for the mission, and we will set off as soon as possible.¡±


    Lu Mingxi cupped his hands and said, ¡°Yes, Senior Brother Ji.¡±


    After he was done talking, he turned around and carefully looked at the dozen or so disciples Zhan Ming had brought.


    Zhan Ming also fell silent at this time, and handed over the power to choose to Lu Mingxi.


    All these disciples were quite familiar to him, and if he were to pick a few among them, it would end up ugly.


    ¡°Senior Brother Ji, stay safe.¡±


    Suddenly, a clear voice came from afar, and following the voice everyone saw, a lotus leaf slowly landed on the side of the Astral Academy. A human in the early stage of the Xuan realm was bowing to Ji Yuenian.


    There was a hint of surprise in Ji Yuenian''s eyes, apparently recognizing this person.


    This person was none other than the Lu family¡¯s Lu Changye who wanted to compete with him on the stone platform.


    Getting off from the lotus leaf, Lu Changye first glanced at the disciples at the upper level of the Xuan Realm, then he turned toward Ji Yuenian and bowed to him greetings without any fright and said, ¡°Since we bid farewell that day, Senior Brother Ji went straight up, however, this junior brother spoke out of turn. I was afraid, and I have dared to come pay my respects today, and I hope you won''t mind.¡±


    Ji Yuenian''s eyes were calm, and he said, ¡°Junior Brother Lu is very polite. We are about to set off for the depths of the Luoxia Mountains. It''s better to come early than to come by chance, so Brother Lu should come with me.¡±


    Behind Lu Changye was the Lu family, Ancient City Of Cuiri. Although his cultivation base was very low, his background was very deep.


    The ancient city of Cuiri was not like the barren and backward ancient city of Taichu. With strong cultivating families, and a lot of souls in the True Dao realm.


    Lu Changye was extremely smart, he had been secretly looking around. Now hearing his reply without any questions, he directly cupped his hand: ¡°I¡¯ll follow Senior Brother Ji¡¯s arrangements.¡±


    Lu Mingxie glanced sideways at Lu Changye, and under his calculations, he had already counted him among the ten people.


    Apart from Senior Brother Ji, himself, and Zhan Ming, there were also Jiao Xiuyu, Zhao Qian, Xu Xiao, and Lu Changye.


    In this way, there were only three remaining positions.


    After a little thought, he looked at the jade talisman with the name and taboo that Zhan Ming had just handed over to him, and looked at the expectant disciples and said, ¡°Ming Zhu, Li Yan, and Zhang Tianxin, you can follow Senior Brother Ji this time to the depths of the Luoxia Mountains.¡±


    The three people whose names were named were all excited, and they cupped their hands together and said, ¡°Thank you, Senior Brother Lu!¡±


    The rewards of multi-person missions were secondary, and the most important thing was that if they could establish a good relationship with Brother Ji in advance, when they ventured in to the depths of the Luoxia Mountains this time, it would be unimaginably beneficial for their future cultivation.


    The fact that Ji Yuenian has walked through the 300 stone steps, and once he entered the Six Mountains and Three Realms, he would be ranked as the Candidate Holy Son. This was known to everyone.

 Ch. 76 - Life is Filled with Flowers

    "No need to be polite,¡± Lu Mingxi waved his hand and turned towards Xu Xiao, ¡°Junior Brother Xu, please enter the names of these people as well.¡±Xu Xiao had already recorded Ji Yuenian, Jiao Xiu Yu and others¡¯ names, now hearing this he directly nodded his head and recorded the remaining names into the jade talisman.


    Those disciples who had not been selected by Lu Mingxi looked a little low, and looked at Zhang Tianxin, Ming Zhu, and Li Yan with great envy.


    Ji Yuenian moved the sapphire talisman a little, and Qingluan, let out a neigh, and slowly spread its wings, and the violent hurricane surged in, stirring everyone''s robes.


    ¡°Let''s go.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Senior Brother Ji.¡± The disciples responded in unison.


    Jiao Xiuyu climbed Qingluan''s back with Ji Yuenian, Lu Changye''s eyes moved slightly, and he also directly urged his lotus leaf magic treasure, landed on the side of Ji Yuenian.


    Xu Xiao looked up at Qingluan, who was several feet tall, with a wry smile on his face. In the midst of embarrassment, several yin qi swept out from the heavens and the earth, and brought him directly to Qingluan''s back.


    ¡°Thank you, Senior Brother Ji.¡± Xu Xiao naturally knew that Ji Yuenian shot, so standing firm, he hurriedly thanked him.


    ¡°No problem,¡± Ji Yuenian turned his head and glanced at Lu Mingxi''s Luan Bird, ¡°Junior Brother Lu, Junior Brother Zhan and these disciples will be led by you.¡±


    Lu Mingxi said with a smile, ¡°This is how it should be.¡±


    With that, he put his arms around the girl in red beside him and jumped up, and as the Xuan Qi flowed, he landed directly on the back of his Luan Bird.


    Zhan Ming took out a magic lotus leaf, took the other three disciples up into the sky, and slowly landed beside Lu Mingxi''s side.


    The magic lotus¡¯ leaves were divided into two types. One was that it could only be activated by several people, which was very cumbersome; Another kind was more convenient, although much smaller, but the forbidden array in it was more exquisite, only someone in the upper Xuan realm could rely on the forbidden array in it to fly.


    The price of the latter magic lotus leaf was much more expensive, and the one that Zhan Ming had was of the latter kind.


    As the Qingluan fluttered its wings to support the wind, the other Luan Bird also flew straight into the sky. Two huge spiritual birds emerged from the top of Xing Yuan Peak, pierced through the clouds and fog, and gradually disappeared in the vast sky of the Luoxia Mountains.


    ¡­


    The twilight mist gave birth to deep trees, while cicadas chirped about the spring stream.


    Roar!


    A faint roar with a hint of demonic power shook the mountains and forests, and all those who heard it had their hearts tremble.


    Its neck was covered with thick golden mane, and the brown pupils were filled with indifferent beastly nature. It was a lion beast that was just one step away from becoming a real demon.


    Not far in front of it was a fox with silvery-white fur, frightened by its roar it froze in place, and for a moment even forgot to escape.


    The lion beast looked at its prey coldly, and approached slowly. Suddenly it let out a violent roar, while its heavy body rose into the air, and rushed towards the fox!


    Bam!


    Along with an ear-piercing sound of iron and gold, a powerful recoil knocked the lion backwards, it rolled several times in midair, and fell, leaving bloodstains and bruises on the top of its head.


    Coming back to his senses the silver-white fox looked up at the girl¡¯s back standing in front of him.


    The girl was beautiful, wearing a water-green skirt. Collecting the magic shield she smiled at the lion beast, while explaining: ¡°Big lion, don''t hurt the little fox.¡±


    The lion beast got up, shook its colossal head, glanced at the girl hatefully, then turned around and disappeared into the jungle.


    ¡°Little fox, are you alright?¡± Turning back to the silver-white fox, she asked and explained, ¡°In the future, if you meet a beast that wants to eat you, you should run away without looking back, do you hear that? The foxes in the Luo Zhongshan Mountain should all be from the bloodline of the wind fox. Even if you haven¡¯t turned into a demon, you are extremely fast, so it should be impossible for the beasts to catch up to you.¡±


    The fox seemed to understand, so it let out a low whimper, glanced at the girl, and also disappeared into the forest.


    There were many peaks within the Luoxia Mountains, and Luo Zhongshan was one of them. It was worthy of being located at the edge of the Luoxia Mountain. Not only were spirits cultivated here, occasionally they also gave birth to some demon spirits.


    Like the lion beast just now, it was just a step away from igniting its Heart Fire. The more wisdom one had, the higher their Heart Fire¡¯s would be ranked.


    The Xuan realm, True Dao realm, Divine Sea realm were all basic realm for all living beings. The names of these basic realms have been handed down from ancient times. Although there were some discrepancies in the names, in nearly 1000 territories of the Beijulu Zhou (North Club Lu Continent), the realms remained the same.


    The Xuan Realm was the realm in which the Heart Fires traced the Xuan, and the True Dao realm was the realm of returning to the truth and gathering the elements.


    And the ??Divine Sea realm, as its name suggested was it was the realm of God''s Sea of Embodied Spirit.


    ¡°Sister Yun Ying.¡±


    A somewhat helpless voice came from a distance.


    The young girl dressed in watery green stuck out her tongue playfully, raised her head and smiled, ¡°Senior Brother Li.¡±


    Li Zhaoyan landed beside Yun Ying''s side and shook his head: ¡°Junior Sister, almost all the spirits in Luo Zhongshan Mountain are naturally raised, we as practitioners, and should not interfere with them.¡±


    Yun Ying stepped forward and grabbed Li Zhaoyan''s robe sleeve, while her beautiful eyes fixed on him, and called softly, ¡°Senior Brother Li ¡­¡±


    ¡°Forget it.¡± Failing to bear the girl''s coquettish mannerism, Li Zhaoyan waved his hands again and again, ¡°Hurry up, and follow me back to the temple. Today Master is going to open the altar to teach Dharma. Even the myriad little demons from the Luo Zhongshan Mountain have rushed over.¡±


    Letting go of his hand, Yun Ying said with a smile: ¡°Since Master has broken through to the True Dao realm, the fortune of Luo Zhongshan seemed to have improved a lot. So far, there are more than ten little demons who have ignited their Heart Fires.¡±


    Li Zhaoyan pulled her towards the direction of the Taoist temple and said, ¡°This time Master opened the altar to teach Dharma, with the intention to carry forward the Taoism of our Taoist temple. After today, these monsters are very likely to become our brothers and sisters.¡±


    Beaming with joy, she said crisply: ¡°It¡¯s truly wonderful!¡±


    ¡°You.¡± Li Zhaoyan said.


    While talking, they drifted off. A small fox with silvery white fur came out of nowhere and sat halfway on the ground, looking at the direction Yun Ying was leaving, it neighed in a low voice.

    Dao Yan Guan (Taoist temple), this Taoist line scattered in the wilderness was founded by the Taoist Xuyan who was in the upper Xuan realm and established his school at the Luo Zhongshan Mountain. He had always been quiet and uncontested, and had almost never left Mount Luo Zhong, but only practiced extending his life span as much as possible.


    Before cultivation, Taoist Xuyan was just a young man in the mountains. He accidentally entered a place where he found a hidden cultivation treasure, and after that, he devoted himself to studying it for several years. Finally, he ignited his Heart Fire and truly stepped into the path of cultivation.


    About a hundred days ago, an unknown mutation occurred in Luo Zhongshan Mountain, and the Qi of heaven and earth suddenly became abundant. The accumulated reserves of Taoist Xuyan were already extremely profound, and once he broke into the realm of True Dao realm with this, his life expectancy increased by 800 years.


    The changes in Luo Zhongshan Mountain also ignited the Heart Fire of some plants, trees, birds, and beasts that had no chance to turn into demons. In just a few months, there were more than a dozen spirits in Luo Zhongshan Mountain who gained enlightenment and turned into demons.


    Chen (07:00 - 08:00am).


    The purple air rose eastward, and the morning glow filled the sky.


    The foot of Luo Zhongshan Mountain was bustling with Dao Yan Guan disciples. They happily ran around on the bluestone Taoist platform, which was nearly 100 feet in circumference.


    This was the first time Taoist Xuyan had opened the altar to teach Dharma since he broke into the True Dao realm. It was also time for him to teach his disciples new divine skills.


    Taoist Xuyan had never been stingy with his disciples. He had always taught his disciples what he had learned. After breaking into the True Dao, several new truths appeared in the core jade talisman left by the scattered cultivator. Taoist Xuyan had slightly simplified them and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to teach these newly learned divine techniques at this altar.


    ¡°At dawn, I go to the mountain forest to collect the morning dew to make a cup of spiritual tea for Master and many brothers. Then, I will welcome the sun to draw the energy of heaven and earth for cultivation; in the afternoon, I pick some spiritual fruits and flowers to make some delicious snacks. In the evening, lying on the bluestone platform together with Brother Li, I look up at the bright stars in the sky of Luo Zhongshan Mountain.¡±


    Yun Ying stopped writing at this point, and involuntarily a blooming smile appeared on her pretty little face.


    The Master had already sent a message the day before, that after the opening of the altar to teach Dharma, he would allow herself and Senior Brother Li to become Dao companions and open a separate court outside the Taoist Temple.


    ¡°Sister Yun, what are you doing in the room? Why don''t you come out and help us?¡±


    A clear youthful voice came from a distance, Yun Ying put the pen on the table, stood up and looked out the wooden window, and said, ¡°Don''t worry, Junior Brother Xiao Yan, I''m going down, right now.¡±


    Saying that, she was about to leave, but at the corner of her eye glanced at the pen she had just put down. After a little hesitation, she sat down again, and added a new sentence after the new period of pen and ink.


    ¡°Three thousand weak waters, Yun Ying only takes Li Zhaoyan, this life is filled with flowers, and I don''t envy mandarin ducks or immortals.¡±


    [Three thousand weak waters only take one scoop, which originated from a story in the Buddhist scriptures, which implies that you may encounter many beautiful things in your life, but as long as you carefully grasp one of them, it is enough]


    ...


    The violent wind roared from all directions, and even with Qingluan''s demonic light shield protection, inevitably, some residual wind swept in, causing the disciples'' robes and sleeves to flutter.


    ¡°Senior Brother Ji, if we travel at this speed, it will take us about two incense sticks to reach the Dao Yan Guan on the Luo Zhongshan Mountain.¡±


    Holding the mission talisman Xu Xiao spoke respectfully.


    Dressed in a black robe, Ji Yuenian stood beside Qingluan''s azure crown feathers. His long dark hair flipped up, and his fair and beautiful eyebrows were picturesque, but his eyes were deep and tranquil to the extreme, which made people unable to discern his true thoughts.


    ¡°The Luoxia Mountains were chosen by the ancient sect of Taiyu as the place where the outer sects were located. As expected, this place is extremely beautiful, with intelligent spirits in it. This journey seems to see a complete small world, where countless natural and nurtured spirits are struggling to survive. There are those who live comfortably, those who die in the morning and the evening, and those who are tranquil and meaningless. These countless creatures in the depths of the Luoxia Mountains are just the tip of the iceberg of the profound heritage of the Taiyu Holy Sect.¡±


    Ji Yuenian did not respond to Xu Xiao, but looked down at the deeper part of the mountain range under the cover of clouds and mists, and there was a little blue light in his eyes.


    ¡°Senior Brother Ji is really insightful!¡± Xu Xiao praised from the side, ¡°What we saw was but only a small sect mission, but what Senior Brother Ji saw is the vast and endless Luoxia Mountains in whole.¡±


    Lu Changye took a long, eccentric look at Xu Xiao, and gained some new understanding of his character.

 Ch. 77 - Slaughter

    It was as if Xu Xiao didn¡¯t notice Lu Changye¡¯s gaze at all. He took a step forward, he pushed his Xuan Qi to reflect the virtual image of the map on the mission talisman. He pointed at the red spot on the map, and said to Ji Yuenian: ¡°Senior Brother Ji, this is where Luo Zhongshan Mountain lies.¡±Ji Yuenian glanced at the hanging map in the light curtain and said, ¡°The terrain of this mountain is a bit strange.¡±


    Jiao Xiuyu, who was standing on the side, turned his gaze to him while hearing this and asked ¡°Junior Brother Ji, why do you say that?¡±


    Xu Xiao who was standing at the top and Lu Changye on the side, both looked toward him with puzzlement.


    From their point of view, there was nothing special about this Luo Zhongshan Mountain. It was just one of the many peaks in the Luoxia Mountains.


    Pointing to several peaks around Luo Zhongshan Mountain, Ji Yuenian said: ¡°This mountain is at a horn with six surrounding peaks. Looking down, it is clearly a small natural spirit-inducing forbidden formation. If this natural forbidden array can be triggered, it is enough to increase the concentration of heaven and earth energy on this mountain by several times.¡±


    Lu Changye was astonished and sighed, ¡°Senior brother Ji has done a lot of research on the forbidden formation, which is really admirable.¡±


    Jiao Xiuyu was also a little surprised and said, ¡°I wonder what the name of this forbidden array is?¡±


    ¡°Yuanyin Gathering Spirit Formation is a naturally occurring forbidden formation that isn¡¯t rare. There is nothing unusual about it.¡± Ji Yuenian waved his sleeves, and scattered the light curtain condensed by Xu Xiao. ¡°Even this spiritual gathering vein in the entire Luoxia Mountains is actually a natural forbidden formation, it''s just that its volume is too large.¡±


    ¡°Senior Brother Ji, I heard that the place where the natural forbidden formation exists, there is a high possibility that there is a vein of primeval stone here.¡± Xu Xiao''s heart moved, and there was a little greed in his eyes, ¡°The terrain of this Luo Zhongshan Mountain is so strange, maybe ¡­¡±


    Jiao Xiuyu glanced at him and said with a smile, ¡°Junior Brother Xu, all the primeval stone veins on the surface of the Luoxia Mountains have long been ingested by the Outer Sect. How could they leave out such obvious traces of a vein?¡±


    Feeling embarrassed Xu Xiao fell silent.


    ¡­


    The Dao Yan Temple had 17 large and small halls and courtyards which were built together by Taoist Xuyan and his disciples over the years. The materials used were the more common green rock and red sandalwood in the Luoxia Mountains. Although it wasn¡¯t precious spiritual materials, it was simple and elegant, quiet and peaceful, quite secluded style.


    ¡°I heard that Xuyan Shangzhen (form of address to one¡¯s master) will not only open an altar and preach today but also open a spectacle to receive disciples!¡± A recently transformed wolf demon''s eyes were full of longing, standing below the bluestone platform, and spoke excitedly.


    ¡°Yes, Xuyan Shangzhen is the person with the highest cultivation base in Luo Zhongshan Mountain. It is indeed a blessing for us to that he is willing impart the true secrets of the divine power so selflessly.¡±


    More than ten different races of grass and wood, beasts and demons were bustling around the platform, waiting for ?Taoist Xuyan.


    Dozens of disciples in the Taoist Temple also walked to the bluestone platform, busily arranging stone benches.


    ¡°All creatures within Luo Zhongshan have a seat on the bluestone platform!¡±


    Li Zhaoyan looked around and raised his Xuan Qi to speak loudly.


    Those grasses, trees, animals, and demons all responded excitedly and went up to the green stone platform, and took their seats on the stone benches.


    All the Dao Yan Guan disciples also bowed towards Li Zhaoyan and sat on the stone benches one after another.


    ¡°I wonder if I, Yuan Jian, have a seat on this platform?¡±


    The cold voice spread throughout the 17 halls of Dao Yan Guan, and a scarlet demon light traversed the sky, landing on the bluestone platform with a dazzling flame tail.


    Almost all the creatures born of spiritual wisdom in Luo Zhongshan Mountain had gathered here. Following the voice they all looked at the man in the scarlet demon armor with shock, and even their minds and hearts shuddered subconsciously.


    A real monster of the True Dao Realm!


    ¡°Fellow Taoist Yuan Jian has been my neighbor for so long, but rarely comes to visit. Such a rare guest.¡±


    A breathless, powerful voice greeted him, bringing up waves of invisible aura, brushing over many creatures on the bluestone platform, bringing them back to their senses.


    .


    Yuan Jian flicked his sleeve robe, and the scarlet demon light swept out, and a blood-red throne condensed beneath him. He turned to sit on it, and snorted coldly: ¡°Taoist Xiao Xuyan, although you have broken into the True Dao Realm, you are not qualified to be friends with me.¡±


    As soon as these words came out, the disciples of Dao Yan Guan showed indignation, and Yun Ying, who was dressed in a water-green dress, stepped forward and said in a charming voice: ¡°You are not allowed to disrespect Master like that!¡±


    Yuan Jian glanced at Yun Ying and was undecided, but looked sideways at the middle-aged Taoist who stepped out of the main hall of Dao Yan Guan, and said, ¡°Recently, Luo Zhongshan''s vitality has increased sharply, and I have been investigating for a long time before I concluded that this mountain has triggered a natural forbidden array, and now it has become a quite good place for practice. Xiao Xuyan, I¡¯ve come here today to ask you for something.¡±


    Taoist Xuyan''s body circulated with clear air, and he looked at Yuan Jian who was calm and composed, and said, ¡°This poor Daoist is stupid, I don''t know what Daoist Yuan Jian wants?¡±


    ¡°Naturally, I want this Luo Zhongshan Mountain,¡± Yuan Jian flipped his palm and took out a blood-red spear several feet long, with a bright red demon light on it, and its power swept all directions. ¡°The mountain I live on has been adjacent to you for a long time, and it is barely considered a place for meditation, and now I will make an exchange with you, how about it?¡±


    As a demonic creature of the at the upper True Dao Realm, Yuan Jian knew very well that they had to rely on the vein of the Luoxia Mountains. In essence, they all needed to rely on the generosity of the Outer Sect of the Taiyu Holy Sect, so Yuan Jian would not take any rash steps unless necessary.


    If his actions cause a commotion, so loud that it attracted the patrolling disciples of the Luoxia Mountains, then it would be a tribulation he could survive.


    The disciples in Dao Yan Guan rose to their feet, looking at Yuan Jian with indignant eyes.


    Those plants, trees, beasts, and demons in the Luo Zhongshan Mountain were also at a loss for a bit. They were all transformed in Luo Zhongshan Mountain, and had seen a ray of incense with the Taoist Temple under Luo Zhongshan Mountain. Now facing a True Dao Realm demon in front of them, these weak little demons didn¡¯t even have the courage to open his mouths.


    Taoist Xuyan''s eyes condensed, the clear Qi around him was also roiled up, and the aura of the True Dao spread out, and he said in a deep voice: ¡°Fellow Daoist Yuan Jian.¡±


    Yuan Jian stood up and casually pulled the crimson spear in his hand to make a slash. Under the raging demon power, a corner of the bluestone pavilion was affected by the demon light, and it was crushed, smashing heavily into a hall room at the edge of Dao Yan Temple.


    ¡°My courtyard!¡±


    A young man beside Yun Ying screamed, with a hint of despair in his tone.


    These courtyards were built by themselves, and in some respects, it became part of them. Now seeing the courtyards they had built being destroyed in front of them, they couldn¡¯t bear it. It was extremely heart-wrenching.


    Yun Ying turned her head and looked at the tearful teenager beside her, feeling a little overwhelmed. She hurriedly took out a silk handkerchief and handed it to him, saying, ¡°Junior Brother Xiaoyan, Brother Xiaoyan, don''t cry, with Master here, you will be fine.¡±


    Daoist Xuyan''s complexion also changed drastically, and his words were no longer peaceful and the former forbearance vanished. He said angrily: ¡°Yuan Jian, you deceive people too much!¡±


    ¡°I deceive people too much, so what?¡± Yuan Jian, was holding his crimson spear upside down, and his power was unparalleled for a while, ¡°Dao Yan Guan? I can kill you all with one hand.¡±


    Dao Yan Guan¡¯s disciples all looked desperate. Although they avoided the world and practiced in seclusion, they were not stupid. The cultivation of this True Dao demon was enough to destroy Dao Yan Guan.


    Daoist Xuyan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly, as if he was about to strike at any moment.


    But when seeing the Dao Yan Guan disciples, his hands slowly loosened involuntarily.


    ¡°Yuan Jian, Luo Zhongshan Mountain is so big, I¡¯m only practicing at the foot of the mountain, how about I give you the mountain?¡± Daoist Xuyan''s expression gradually calmed down. s?a??h th? ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Seeing that Daoist Xuyan was subdued, Yuan Jian sneered and said: ¡°I like to be in seclusion, don''t bargain with me. Immediately take all the spirits of Dao Yan Guan and get out of Luo Zhongshan Mountain."


    ¡°Filthy demon, I will fight with you!¡±


    Junior Brother Xiaoyan looked at his courtyards that had been turned into debris, his eyes were full of tears. His body was surrounded by the Xuan Qi of the early Xuan realm, and he rushed towards Yuan Jian in the center of the stone platform.


    Yuan Jian frowned slightly, the spear in his hand trembled a little, and a blood-red demon light swept out horizontally, directly penetrating Junior Brother Xiaoyan¡¯s body.


    Under the crimson light, Junior Brother Xiaoyan''s expression became completely sluggish. After a few breaths, his whole body turned into countless blood-red dots, which dissipated between heaven and earth.


    ¡°Junior Brother Xiaoyan!¡± Yun Ying cried out


    Under the intertwined grief and anger, she also wanted to rush to the stone platform, but Li Zhaoyan grabbed her sleeve robe and forcibly pulled her back into his arms, unable to move.


    Daoist Xuyan''s complexion was extremely complicated, and he did not directly avenge for Xiaoyan as Dao Yan Guan disciples imagined, but as he pretended to not have witnessed what happened, and said to Yuan Jian: ¡°Okay, I will take Dao Yan Guan¡¯s Disciple and leaves Luo Zhongshan Mountain.¡±


    ¡°Master!¡±


    ¡°Master, you can''t!¡±


    ¡°So what if we die? There¡¯s no one in Dao Yan Guan who is so greedy for life that they¡¯ll forget this insult. We do not fear death. We will fight together with this demon.¡±


    The disciples roared in anger, showing their determination that they¡¯d rather die than leaving this place.


    Seeing this scene Daoist Xuyan shook his head, feeling extremely relieved, he sighed, ¡°We needed¡¯t do that, please listen to my words. Immediately go back to the courtyards to clean up. We will leave Luo Zhongshan Mountain.¡±


    As soon as these words fell, the sound of the raging wind roared from the sky.


    All the creatures looked up.


    Two shadows covered the sky and the formless pressure from earlier also dissipated.


    One of the shadows was a beast of the upper True Dao realm. It waved its wings gently, and the violent azure whirlwind swept down, directly killing the Daoist Xuyan in place!


    Daoist Xuyan was gradually covered by the blue light, and all the creatures under Luo Zhongshan Mountain were stunned and fell into a daze.


    Standing atop the blue-feathered bird, Lu Mingxi looked down at the creatures on the bluestone platform, and said indifferently: ¡°The people of Dao Yan Guan have invaded the Qi of the Holy Sect, and they have committed a heinous crime, now by order of the Palace of Sovereignty, they are to be exterminated.¡±


    Yuan Jian, who had been invincible just now, had already put away his momentum under panic, his face was ashen. Knowing that it was the disciples from the Outer Sect of the Taiyu Holy Sect who had come. He fiercely cursed Daoist Xuyan under his breath, and began racking his brains to think about a way to escape.

 Ch. 78

    On the bluestone platform, more than ten beasts were already in a panic. The two Blue-feathered Luan birds in the True Dao Realm were able to keep these beasts in the initial stage of the Xuan Realm from moving.¡°Master!¡±


    ¡°Master!!!¡±


    It was too abrupt for Daoist Xuyan to be killed like that. Only at that moment, the disciples in the Daoyan Temple were able to react, and they all looked at the two Blue-feathered birds with incomparable resentment.


    Lu Mingxi flicked his sleeves and said, ¡°Zhang Tianxin, Ming Zhu, Li Yan, the three of you go and kill these beasts.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Senior Brother Lu!¡±


    The auras of the upper stage of the Xuan Realm fell down. They were extremely fierce, and hurriedly charged towards the beasts that were suppressed and immobile.


    Lu Mingxi glanced at the red-clothed girl beside him, and said, ¡°Zhao Qian, you urge the Luan Bird to summon the wind, and Senior Brother Zhan and I will go clean up those disciples.¡±


    Zhao Qian nodded. ¡°Yes, Holy Son.¡±


    After these words were finished, Lu Mingxi and Zhan Ming jumped down from the backs of Luan Bird, took out their own spiritual weapons midair, and rushed towards the many disciples of Daoyan Temple.


    Although these groups of disciples also had more than a dozen powerhouses at the upper stage of the Xuan Realm, their combat power was extremely weak, and they couldn''t be compared with the Outer Sect disciples of the Taiyu Holy Sect. Even the number of spiritual weapons in their possession was miniscule.


    Zhan Ming had the bloodline of the Black-patterned Demonic Tiger which specialized in body refining. Among these Daoist disciples, he alone was equal to ten of them; Lu Mingxi was holding a folding fan-type spiritual weapon. The spirits of the disciples of Daoyan Temple disappeared without the slightest resistance when he fanned it.


    Yuan Jian raised his head and looked at Luan Bird, who was still hovering in the sky. He turned and bowed his head towards black-robed Ji Yuenian. ¡°I''m not a discipline of Daoyan Temple. I hope that the Young Master can mark the distinction.¡±


    With the venomous look of his eyes, he had long seen that Ji Yuenian was the real owner of the two Luan Birds. After hearing Lu Mingxi''s words just now, he directly revealed his identity and wanted to escape.


    Ji Yuenian stood quietly on top of Luan Bird''s head, looked down at Yuan Jian, who had withdrawn his aura, and said, ¡°Then why are you here?¡±


    At the same time, Lu Changye, who was behind him, saw Jiao Xiuyu turn into a spirit Flood Dragon and rush down. He also sacrificed his spiritual weapon, lotus leaf, and found a weak disciple of Daoyan Temple at the initial stage of Xuan Realm to fight.


    Only Xu Xiao still stood quietly by Ji Yuenian''s side, with no intention budding from his place.


    He didn''t have a spiritual weapon that could allow him to fly. If he jumped directly from the height of several dozen meters, he would fall to his death.


    Yuan Jian rolled his eyes and said, ¡°Little Young Master, Daoist Xuyan and I are close neighbors, and we have been friends over the years. This time I came to Daoyan Temple as a guest, and I never imagined that he would commit such a heinous crime.¡±


    Retreat to advance.


    Although his words were shameless, none of the Daoyan Temple disciples opened their mouths to refute. In just a few dozen breaths, dozens of Daoyan Temple disciples were almost all slaughtered by Lu Mingxi and others, and only a dozen or so disciples in the late stage of the Xuan Realm kept struggling.


    If it wasn''t for the Luan Bird which was in the late stage of the True Dao Realm stopping them, these ten or so people would have vanished long ago.


    Xu Xiao snorted coldly beside Ji Yuenian and said, ¡°Then tell me, what crime did Daoyan Temple commit?¡±


    Yuan Jian glanced at Xu Xiao, pondered for a moment, and said, ¡°The white-robed gentleman just now said that Daoyan Temple''s disciples invaded the sect''s spiritual veins, and this crime is extremely heinous, so they should all be punished.¡±


    ¡°If that''s the case, are you saying the millions of creatures of all races in the depths of the Luoxia Mountains deserve to die?¡± Xu Xiao said with a hint of playfulness in his eyes, ¡°It''s better to come early than to come by chance. As a neighbor, your sect must also be within the Luoxia Mountains, and you have invaded the sect¡¯s spiritual veins, how should you be punished for your crime?¡±


    Obviously, Xu Xiao wanted to hit Yuan Jian hard.


    Yuan Jian didn''t know the sect''s rules that the disciples of the Outer Sect were not allowed to attack the living beings in the Luoxia Mountains. Hearing this, he panicked and secretly looked around, wanting to escape.


    As for the making a move towards Ji Yuenian and others, he never dared to think about it.


    If he was lucky enough to escape and stay far away from the Luoxia Mountains, he might be able to live; but once he killed the disciples of the Taiyu Holy Sect, the only thing waiting for him was to be chased to his death.


    Moreover, there were two Luan birds in the True Dao Realm, one of which was at the late stage. If he really did something irrational, Yuan Jian was not at all the opponent of two Luan birds.


    Seeing that Yuan Jian was silent, Xu Xiao couldn''t help but shake his head and said, ¡°The Holy Sect won¡¯t pursue your sins anymore, but ¡­¡±


    Yuan Jian''s eyes narrowed. Looking at Xu Xiao''s gesture of rubbing his hands, there was no way he couldn''t understand the intent behind it.


    The spiritual veins of the Luoxia Mountains were magnificent, and even a small fragment was enough to support the cultivation of ordinary beings. If it was not necessary, he was really reluctant to leave.


    As for the occasional beings that were listed in the sect mission by the Shanwu Peak¡¯s Zongwu Hall, they were pursued and killed by the disciples of the Outer Sects. This was only an example. The odds were so small that they were almost imperceptible.


    This was also the reason Yuan Jian did not feel too surprised when Daoyan Temple''s disciples were killed.


    Obviously, Daoyan Temple had the slightest chance of being selected by the Shanwu Peak Zongwu Hall among the many wilderness scattered sect, but it was their bad luck.


    ¡°A little gift, I hope the Young Master will accept it with a smile.¡±


    Yuan Jian took out a piece of storage jade slip, wrapped it with demonic power, and sent it to the hovering Luan Bird.


    Xu Xiao grabbed the storage jade slip and did not open it. Instead, he held the jade slip in both hands and handed it to Ji Yuenian with a very respectful demeanor.


    Ji Yuenian took the storage jade slip, input a wisp of Xuan energy into it, nodded after a few breaths, and said, ¡°Let''s go.¡±


    Yuan Jian bowed to Ji Yuenian and said, ¡°Thank you, Young Master.¡±


    Under the shackles of extremely strict sect rules, Ji Yuenian and the others would never attack Yuan Jian at all, but this storage jade slip could be regarded as a pleasant surprise.


    A scarlet demonic light hid in the forest outside the Zhongshan Mountain. After Yuan Jian traveled for a few miles, he looked at the two Luan birds hovering over the Daoist Temple from a distance, and his thoughts spun.


    Luo Zhongshan''s vitality has increased greatly now, and it is in a wonderful condition. After these Outer Sect disciples leave, wouldn''t it be just be perfect if go back to the fallen Zhongshan Mountain and occupy it?


    Thinking of this, Yuan Jian revealed a smile from the corner of his mouth, stopped and hid on a thousand-year-old pine tree, quietly waiting for Ji Yuenian and others to leave.


    ¡°Senior Brother Ji, everyone in Daoyan Temple committed a serious crime, and we have done our best to subdue them. They have all been executed by us.¡±


    Lu Mingxi held a folding fan and said loudly towards Ji Yuenian who was standing above Luan Bird.


    Ji Yuenian never got off the Luan Bird from the beginning to the end, and nodded slightly at that time, saying, ¡°Group the things and count them.¡±


    Lu Mingxi replied, ¡°Yes, Senior Brother Ji.¡±


    Xu Xiao watched Zhang Tianxin, Ming Zhu and the others rush into the hall, and couldn''t bear saying, ¡°Senior Brother Ji ...¡±


    Ji Yuenian glanced at him, and a cloud of yin energy formed with a flick of his hand, and he gently sent Xu Xiao down the Luan Bird.


    After all, this task was offered by Xu Xiao, and it was his intention to let him take some resources at that time.


    Zhao Qian, who was on the back of the other Luan bird, was stationary, and had no intention of going down.


    Ji Yuenian didn''t look down at the messy Daoist Temple, but raised his head slightly and looked at Luo Zhongshan Mountain which basked in the light of dawn with a thoughtful expression in his eyes.


    This mountain had unintentionally formed a natural forbidden formation, and its vitality had increased several times. Although it was not comparable to the sixth-ranked Xingyuan Peak, among the hundreds of mountain peaks in the Outer Sect, it was better from than ordinary peaks, and could stand shoulder to shoulder with Zongshan Peak.


    Under the flip of his hand, a dark light flowed out, wrapping around Ji Yuenian''s slender and pale fingers, making a low hissing sound.


    His clothes changed.


    The Sentient Ghost-devouring Armor had long since been destroyed in Ji Family, but the spell was too miraculous, so Ji Yuenian started to make a new one.


    This time, he incorporated a phantom of psychic karma into the spell, which produced a very miraculous change.


    It seemed that now, this ghost armor had developed a spiritual wisdom, and it was connected with Ji Yuenian. Even if it was separated from Ji Yuenian''s control, it could act independently under the blessing of the psychic karma fire.


    After thinking for a moment, Ji Yuenian chose the "Spirit Devouring Mantra" from the Great Compassion Mantra and poured it into this pitch-black band of light.


    The flow of light changed between illusions, broke away from Ji Yuenian''s fingers, and disappeared towards Luo Zhongshan Mountain.


    At the same time, Zhao Qian urged the Luan bird who was in the late stage of True Dao Realm to lose altitude. After Lu Mingxi and others jumped on its back, the Luan bird fluttered its wings slightly and moved towards the place where the other Luan bird was.


    ¡°Senior Brother Ji, the inventory of the Daoist Temple has been roughly completed, and I found a surprising number of thirty-five primeval stones !¡±


    Lu Mingxi had a look of surprise in his eyes, obviously surprised by the number of primveal stones in the Daoist Temple.


    Zhang Tianxin, Ming Zhu and the others all looked hesitant. After thinking for a while, they said, ¡°Senior Brother Ji, I found twenty-six primeval stones, and an ancient book.¡±


    ¡°Senior Brother Ji, I found nineteen primeval stones, two ordinary spiritual treasures, and one true cultivation formula.¡±


    Zhan Ming said, ¡°Senior Brother Ji, I found twenty-three primeval stones, two volumes of ancient books, and three bottles of spiritual herbs.¡±


    Lu Changye and Jiao Xiuyu were extremely straightforward. They directly jumped on the back of Luan Bird to the top of its head. Without saying a word, they took out a storage bag and handed it over. There were twenty or thirty primeveal stones in it.


    The Daoist Temple was in a special location, and the cultivation of their arts consumed very little primeval stones. Over the years, they had been able to save more than a hundred primeval stones. If the rest of the scattered cultivators were replaced, it might not be possible to have all the treasures.


    Ji Yuenian nodded, showing no intention to pick up the storage bag. Taking a panoramic view of everyone''s expressions, he said softly, ¡°Give me the true cultivation art and the core art of Daoist Temple, as for the primeval stones and the rest of the items ¡­ you can keep them to yourself.¡±


    After these words fell, most of the people were happy, and they hurriedly put away the primeval stones.


    Xu Xiao jumped over with Lu Changye, and the two of them handed him a bright blue jade talisman. ¡°Senior Brother Ji, I have found the core of the inheritance of Daoist Temple.¡±


    Ji Yuenian stretched out his hand to take the jade talisman, and noticed that there was a mission talisman attached to it. His eyes were calm, and he gave a side look to Xu Xiao.


    Xu Xiao lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice, ¡°Senior Brother Ji, I found more than forty primeval stones in the place where the Daoist lineage¡¯s inheritance, and I have kept it tor myself. Brother Ji led me here, and did a lot of hard work the 100 primeval stones in the mission talisman belongs to Senior Brother Ji.¡±


    ¡°Thanks, Junior Brother Xu Xiao.¡± Ji Yuenian put away two jade talismans, and said to Lu Mingxi and others, ¡°We are done here, I will return to the sect immediately.¡±


    As for the natural forbidden formation in Luo Zhongshan Mountain, there was no mention of it.


    Although Lu Mingxi, Zhan Ming and others wanted to go to Luo Zhongshan Mountain to find out, but Ji Yuenian had already spoken, so it was naturally inconvenient to mention it again.


    After the disciples successively handed over the true cultivation art to Ji Yuenian, the two Luan birds rose up and flew into the sky, penetrating into the depths of the cloud, and disappeared after a few breaths.

 Ch. 79 - The Human World

    The magnificent stars encompassed the boundless sky, and the silver moonlight shone down, reflecting the ruins of Daoyan Temple.The rustling sound became louder and louder, inching closer every second.


    A silver-white little fox broke out of the verdant forest and entered the ruins of the temple. Using all four of its limbs, it jumped onto the bluestone platform without any efforts, and its eyes glowing with azure light searched everywhere, as if looking for something.


    Its sharp nose sniffed a few times, and the little silver fox slowly walked to the side of a girl in a green dress, curled up its hind legs, and sat down on its knees.


    ¡°Little Fox, if you encounter a beast that wants to eat you again, you will run away without looking back, do you hear me?¡±


    The sweet voice still echoed fresh in its ears, and the little silver fox lowered its icy azure eyes to stare at the girl who had long since lost her life.


    There was only one dark claw mark on her body, and that claw mark was located at her heart. It seemed that she was killed with a single move.


    Owwww!!!


    The moonlight fell on the little silver fox, covering the beast in its own halo, and a shallow flame rose from inside its soul.


    Its figure changed endlessly under the silver light, and finally turned into a slender human figure. This human figure used a little demonic power, and slowly condensed a moon-white robe from top to bottom.


    Under the chaotic mood of the little silver fox, it finally inadvertently channeled the demonic power to break the last barrier, igniting the Heart Fire in its soul, and truly transformed into a demon.


    His pupils were still a magnificent azure color, and his lips were red, making him appear very handsome.


    Bowing his head and bending down, he gently hugged Yun Ying''s icy body, and said in a low voice, ¡°Since the Taiyu Holy Sect harmed you, I will eradicate the Taiyu Holy Sect completely from the face heaven and earth.¡± S?a?ch* Th? N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Although his voice was very immature, it was full of firm determination.


    Suddenly, there was a shrill sound of a ghost hissing in his ears.


    Silver Fox solemnly looked around, but didn''t notice anything unusual, and couldn''t help but raise a bit of vigilance in his heart.


    After holding Yun Ying and walking dozens of steps, the resentful ghost''s howl reverberated again, and the darkness seemed to be hiding evil ghosts.


    ¡°What the hell is that!?¡±


    Silver Fox stopped, and the voice containing demonic power spread throughout the ruins of Daoist Temple.


    ¡°Ignorant child, the Taiyu Holy Sect is almighty, and it is suppressing the entire Yuanyan realm. You are actually spewing a lot of nonsense here. Eradicating the Taiyu Holy Sect? It''s really laughable.¡± The undisguised sneer came from a distance. A figure walked out of the darkness, it had a figure of a pale boy.


    Silver Fox frowned, looking at the evil ghost that appeared in front of him, and said, ¡°Why are you here to stop me?¡±


    The young man looked at him disdainfully, spat, and said, ¡°Stop you? What kind of big shot do you think you are? If I wanted to stop you on purpose, I am afraid you wouldn¡¯t have lived long then. It¡¯s been a while since I¡¯ve encountered a frog like you at the bottom of the well. This should be my first time in decades.¡±


    After those words were said, the young man shook his head, directly walked past him, and headed up to Luo Zhongshan Mountain.


    The Silver Fox was left speechless. He looked up at the boy''s back and didn''t know how to react.


    Obviously, this ghost boy had no intention of taking action. The Silver Fox had just been transformed. Although he had the blessing of his original memory, he had almost never dealt with people, so he was a little overwhelmed for a while.


    It wasn''t until the young man''s figure was about to fall into the darkness of Zhongshan Mountain that Silver Fox came back to his senses and said loudly, ¡°Fellow Daoist, please stay!¡±


    The young man stopped and didn''t look back. He said, ¡°What''s the matter?¡±


    Silver Fox hugged Yun Ying and approached a little closer. After pondering for a while, he said: ¡°I only know that the Taiyu Holy Sect destroyed the Daoist Temple, but I don''t know the details. Can you tell me, my fellow Daoist? How many creatures are there in the Taiyu Holy Sect?¡±


    The ghost boy turned his head and glanced at him with some pity, but never said a word.


    ¡°What do you mean, fellow Daoist?¡± Silver Fox recalled the memory about realms, and said tentatively, ¡°At this time, how many Xuan Realm and True Dao Realm cultivators are there in Taiyu Sect?¡±


    If he wanted to destroy the Taiyu Sect, he must know everything about it.


    ¡°¡­¡±


    The ghost boy didn''t say a word, turned around directly, and fled as if he wanted to leave Silver Fox far away.


    "Fellow Daoist!" Silver Fox''s face was blank, as if he couldn''t figure out the reason the ghost disdained to answer such a simple question.


    Even if there were several True Dao Realm powerhouses within the Taiyu Holy Sect, why should the ghost be so disgusted that he¡¯d refrain from answering him?


    Thinking of this, Silver Fox shook his head and said firmly, "True Dao Realm ¡­ I will definitely cultivate well and break into this realm within 30 years!"


    If a demon with ordinary bloodline was not interfered with by external forces, it would take at least several decades to cultivate to the True Dao Realm.


    At the same time, on the top of Luo Zhongshan Mountain, which was nearly a thousand feet away.


    A black-robed youth with a dull look sat cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by dozens of eerie dark bands of light, and at the end of each band of light was a creature. He absorbed the soul energy of these creatures every breath.


    "Spirit Devourer.¡±


    Ling Guiyi was originally just a spiritual existence, and did not have spiritual wisdom to speak of, but after Ji Yuenian poured a trace of psychic karma fire into , faint spiritual wisdom was born.


    In the depths of its intellect, there was only one voice that kept repeating, which was to enhance the power of "Sentient Ghost-devouring Armor".


    Since the "Devouring Spell" was in hand, this Ling Guiyi chose the most simple and rude method.


    Moreover, Ji Yuenian didn''t know what he did at that time. Even if this black-robed boy was captured by the disciples of the foreign sect''s inspection, it would not implicate Ji Yuenian.


    After all, it was made from spiritual essence.


    With the power of the phantom made from psychic karma fire, even if its essence was destroyed, the source of its birth of spiritual wisdom would not be noticed by others at all.


    A lonely shadow under the moon; a solitary tomb three feet long.


    Silver Fox placed the simple wooden sign on the grave, knelt on the ground, and said softly, ¡°Don''t worry, I already have the power of a demon now, and even if I meet that lion beast again, I won''t run away.¡±


    Roar!


    As soon as these words were uttered, a beast roar reverberated through the mountains.


    Silver Fox''s complexion changed slightly. From this violent roar, he realized the powerful demonic power contained in it!


    In the middle of his heartfelt roar, a man with a blazing golden lion head walked out from a few dozen meters away, his brown pupils squarely looking at the Silver Fox.


    The Silver Fox opened his mouth slightly, but before he even opened his mouth, the lion-headed man turned into a streak of golden rainbow and smashed the Silver Fox''s head with one claw.


    "A low-level monster with a low bloodline dares to run away?"


    The lion-headed man opened his mouth coldly. Without even looking at the Silver Fox that had lost its aura, he trampled over his body and walked into the dense forest.

 Ch. 80

    "Who goes there!?"Under the gate of (Wangxing Court), a disciple on duty raised his head and looked at the three figures above the lotus leaf, with a somewhat impatient tone.


    The lotus leaf slowly landed on the side of the gate tower. A handsome man in the robe of an ordinary Outer Sect disciple jumped down first, cupped his hands, and said, "Senior Brother, dare I ask if Ji Yunian, who ranked first overall in the entrance examination of the sect, lives in Wangxing Court?"


    The disciple on duty frowned slightly, and reprimanded in a cold voice, "You are so presumptuous, how dare you call Senior Brother Ji by his name!"


    The handsome man showed a strange look on his face, and said, "I have a very close relationship with Ji Yue ¡­ Senior Brother Ji, you just need to answer me."


    At the same time, the other two people on the lotus leaf also jumped down. They were two delicate and pretty young girls, and they each had their own peculiar features. They were standing behind the handsome man without saying a word.


    "A poor ghost who doesn''t even have an ordinary spiritual weapon wishes to see Senior Brother Ji?" The disciple on duty didn''t believe what he said, and sneered. "The three of you just got out of the ranks of handyman disciples? There are many who wants to see Senior Brother Ji, so how could it be your turn, you servant brats? Hurry up and go back to where you came from, and leave me alone."


    The handsome man shook his head, flipped his palms, took out a spiritual robe, and said, "A mere spiritual robe worth one or two primeval stones. When did you become worthy enough to look down on others with your poverty?"


    The face of the disciple on duty turned cold, he stared at the handsome man fiercely, and said word by word, "Who says I look down on people? If you have the guts, try saying it again?"


    While speaking, he took out a spiritual long sword, poured Xuan Qi into it, and the blue sword light filled the air.


    As the disciple on duty at the Gate of the Wangxing Court, if there were disciples from other mountain peaks who intended to force their way in, he had the right to take the lead in expelling them.


    "I''m so scared! Brother, please don''t kill me!" The handsome man pretended to be scared with an exaggerated demonstration; his eyes teasing.


    "Zhao Xiaoyun, it''s reasonable to find your cousin as soon as possible. What''s the point of talking to this person here?" A girl behind him spoke in a low voice with a worried expression on her face.


    Zhao Xiaoyun glanced at Zhao Yanran, then turned his head and said to the disciple on duty, "Senior Brother Ji is my close cousin. Believe it or not, take us to the place where Senior Brother Ji lives right now, if we are late ¡­ you will bear the consequences!"


    Hearing this, the disciple on duty subconsciously stopped circulating his Xuan Qi, and with a look of surprise on his face, he looked at Zhao Xiaoyun and the three of them. He evaluated them carefully again, and said, "Brother Ji is a big shot, how can he have such poor family members?"


    Zhao Yanran took a step forward, and said in a cold voice, "Cousin''s family had a major incident, and there is an urgent need. I need to meet my cousin immediately!"


    The disciple on duty hesitated for a while. Although he was still held reservations of their origins, he didn''t dare to gamble on it. So he waved his hand and said, "Go in, Senior Brother Ji''s Star Academy is one of the four top courtyards of Xingyuan Peak, built near the abyss. You head to the end of the Wangxing Court first, and then walk to the west for about a few hundred feet, and you will arrive there."


    Zhao Xiaoyun put away the lotus leaf, casually clasped his hands, and took both girls into the Wangxing Court.


    "Senior Brother Ji is pressing down on the Luoxia Mountains during the assessment. Hexuan should be very aware of this matter. Why the communication jade talisman be sent to you?" The unhappiness was precisely Chu Lingyue who had a gap with Zhao Yanran.


    Zhao Yanran glanced at Chu Lingyue''s expression, secretly proud of herself, and said with a smile, "Of course because I am his close cousin."


    After the entrance examination, Ji Yuenian''s appearance and name spread throughout hundreds of peaks in the Luoxia Mountains.


    Zhao Xiaoyun and Zhao Yanran, who had been recommended to enter the Outer Sect in advance, naturally also knew about it.


    It was just that they didn''t have the flying-type spiritual weapon, and the primeval stones in their possession were but a few. Even if the people from the ancient city of Taichu wanted to come to Xingyuan Peak to have an audience, there was no good way about it.


    It wasn''t until Taoist Hexuan sent a messenger jade talisman from the ancient city of Taichu that Zhao Yanran reluctantly notified Zhao Xiaoyun and Chu Lingyue. The took a magic treasure lotus leaf and hurried over.


    Zhao Yanran originally wanted to come to Xingyuan Peak by herself, but due to the limited number of primeval stones and the relationship between her and Ji Yuenian, she couldn''t come. So, she called Zhao Xiaoyun and Chu Lingyue, and they shared the financial burden together.


    "My cousin should not be in Xingyuan Peak, so Taoist Hexuan sent us a messenger jade talisman," Zhao Xiaoyun''s tone seemed firm. "Recently, I have been paying attention to the rules and regulations of the Outer Sect. There are a lot of research on the things in the courtyard. If he is not in the mountain peak, the communication jade talisman will not be able to find the target, it will always hover outside the courtyard, and the person who sent the communication talisman will also have a sense."


    Taoist Hexuan was a disciple of the Taiyu Holy Sect. The summons talisman issued by him using a special method also belongs to the boundless courtyard of the Taiyu Holy Sect. Although the distance was a bit far away, in essence, however, it was no different from the communication talismans sent between the peaks of the ordinary Luoxia Mountains.


    While speaking, the three of them saw the Star Academy built by Linyuan from afar.


    "If that''s the case, there are several strands of mysterious light circulating endlessly on the mask of the courtyard, and no one collects them."


    Chu Lingyue looked at the few rays of light hovering above the forbidden formation of the Star Academy, and spoke in a low voice.

 Ch. 81

    The mansion above the star abyss, the spiritual residence of Ji Yuenian."Senior Brother Ji''s Star Courtyard''s strength is really frightening," Chu Lingyue stood outside the courtyard, and looking up at the majestic and magnificent attic, he sighed. "Such a complex Qi gathering forbidden array, I''m afraid it also has the effect of transforming starlight. It''s really wonderful."


    Zhao Xiaoyun and Zhao Yanran were amazed and clicked their tongues repeatedly.


    Zhao Yanran took a step forward, put out her Outer Sect Order Talisman, and tried to send a message into the forbidden formation in the courtyard. As the mysterious light circulated, it was blocked by the light shield.


    "I''ve already said that cousin should not be in Xingyuan Peak at this time, we would better wait a little longer," Zhao Xiaoyun shook his head, still feeling the faint light spreading out from the Star Courtyard, filled with heaven and earth Qi. "The courtyard where we live is really humble. Compared with my cousin''s, I''m afraid it''s no different from a beggar''s hut."


    "The beggar''s hut is not bad. At least there''s still a large or small Qi Gathering forbidden array in it." Zhao Yanran gave him an annoyed look. "I went out to visit the lower region of the mountain peak a few days ago, and I saw the courtyards of handymen disciplines, and only then did I know what a real hut is."


    Zhao Xiaoyun became interested at that moment, raised his eyebrows, and said, "I have been living in the middle courtyard of Cicada Peak, and I have never met a handyman disciple. Tell me about it in detail."


    Zhao Yanran frowned slightly, and said slowly, "The courtyard of the handyman disciples not only doesn''t have a Qi gathering forbidden array, but it''s also extremely basic. Each person only has a stone room that can''t be considered spacious, and has nothing else."


    On the other side, Chu Lingyue suddenly said, "The handyman disciples need to go out to work every day, planting spiritual fields and valleys, repairing the attics everywhere on the mountain, and serving as pill boys, medicine boys, etc, for some foreign sect disciples. They are all extremely hardworking, even so, after two months of busy work from morning to night, they only earn a single piece of primeval stones."


    Zhao Xiaoyun was a little puzzled, and said, "Why do you know everything about the servants so clearly?"


    Chu Lingyue''s expression turned a little gloomy, and she said in a low voice, "You should still remember Shen Ye from Taichu who was sent into the same mountain peak as me? He just arrived, and accidentally offended the deputy master in the peak, and was directly demoted to lower court as a handyman. It''s extremely difficult for him to have a chance to stand up again."


    The Shen Family was a small family in the ancient city of Taichu. It never had a sense of existence among the powerful and cultivation families of the Zhao family and the Chu family. However, Shen Ye was a person who came from the ancient city of Taichu together with them, so Zhao Xiaoyun and Zhao Yanran were both a little embarrassed for him.


    "Wasn''t Zhao Sixing''s lesson enough?" Zhao Yanran sighed. "This is the Luoxia Mountain Range. Although we have some status in the ancient city of Taichu, we can only keep our tails low and our heads bowed here."


    While they were talking, a deafening sound reached their ears from afar.


    Soon, the sound of buffeting wind echoed closer and closer.


    "Could it be ¡­ cousin?" Zhao Xiaoyun raised his head and looked at the huge shadow that was gradually approaching, with an excited expression on his face.


    Chu Lingyue and Zhao Yanran never opened their mouths; they both watched in shock as the huge Luan Bird slowly descended, casting a large shadow on the Star Courtyard.


    Luan Bird gradually gathered her wings and landed on the side of Star Courtyard.


    Another Blue-feathered Luan Bird followed closely behind and landed.


    "Cousin!"


    Zhao Xiaoyun raised his head, and yelled loudly towards the handsome young man in a dark black moon robes, "Cousin, something happened to Ji''s family!"


    The light in Ji Yuenian''s eyes fluctuated slightly. Surrounded by the Yin energy of the world, he walked down from Luan Bird''s head, and said, "Speak."


    Jiao Xiuyu, Xu Xiao, Lu Mingxi and the others jumped off the two Blue-feathered Luan Birds one after another, and looked at Zhao Xiaoyun and the others curiously.


    Zhao Xiaoyun secretly looked around for a second, and found that almost all of these people were elite disciples of the Xuan Realm, with a strong and aggressive aura around them, especially Ji Yuenian as the leader.


    He couldn''t help but admire Ji Yuenian even more in his heart. He soon calmed down, and said, "Reporting to my cousin, not long ago, Ji Hong and Ji Quexue, the previous heads of the Ji family, escaped from the Ji family''s dungeon and disappeared."


    Ji Yuenian laughed a little, shook his head, and said, "Ji Quexue was pierced through the Jianggong point by Ji Bugui and others a long time ago, and her Heart Fire is no different from being completely extinguished. Now, she should be nothing more than an ordinary person. Why bother making such a fuss?"


    "Cousin, Zhao Xiaoyun didn''t finish." Zhao Yanran glanced at Zhao Xiaoyun, took a step forward, and said softly, "A few days after the two disappeared, Ji Quexue returned to Anyang City on her own initiative and surrendered herself again voluntarily."


    "What happened next? Did Ji Quexue start a murder and kill countless people in the Ji family?" Ji Yuenian asked in a young voice.


    "Cousin, how do you know!?" Zhao Xiaoyun and the others were all stunned, dumbfounded.


    Ji Yuenian flipped his palm and took out a three-feet long sword, on which intricate but faint sword light wriggled as if they were alive. S~?a??h the ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    "This sword is the Ji family''s blood spiritual weapon, and its power has become more and more rampant in recent days, so I connected it to the change of the Ji family, and had some speculations for a long time."


    Zhao Yanran exclaimed, glanced at the long sword, and said, "My cousin''s guess is not far from the truth. Ji Quexue seemed to have become extremely powerful, as if she had completely changed into a different person. She slaughtered the bloodine descendants of the Ji family. They fled the ancient city of Taichu, and even Taoist Hexuan, who is in the upper stage of the True Dao Realm, was alarmed."


    Ji Yuenian sensed the aura of the blood within the Sword, and said, "There are only a hundred people left in the Ji family. This time, I''m going back to the ancient city of Taichu."


    Zhan Ming came over, glanced at Zhao Xiaoyun and the others, and clasped his hands towards Ji Yuenian, saying, "Senior Brother Ji, it is extremely cumbersome for Outer Sect disciples to leave the sect. In addition to the approval of the main hall of the mountain peak where they are located, they also need to go to Mountain service peak to report. The review of the Zongwu Temple in Mountain Service peak has always been delayed, and it will take at least three days."


    Lu Mingxi smiled from one side and said, "If Senior Brother Ji wants to leave the sect today, I know a good disciple in the Zongwu Hall of Mountain service peak, who can save a lot of inconvenience."


    Ji Yueqing flicked his sleeves and said, "I''ll trouble Junior Brother Lu for the review of the Zongwu Palace."


    Seeing this, Zhao Xiaoyun hurriedly stepped forward to salute Lu Mingxi, and said, "Senior brother, can you give me a hand, I want to go back to the ancient city of Taichu with my cousin."


    Lu Mingxi''s expression was a little strange, and he turned his head to look at Ji Yuenian, with an intent of inquiry in his eyes.


    Ji Yuenian nodded, and said, "Count this person in as well."


    Zhao Yanran had never dared to speak casually. Seeing that she seemed to be left behind, she couldn''t help but walk forward and say, "Cousin, I ¡­"


    "You and this girl don''t need to go back, Zhao Xiaoyun is enough to deal with some chores." Ji Yuenian flicked his sleeves slightly, turned his head towards Zhan Ming, and said, "Give these two girls ten primeval stones, and send them back to the place where they are reside."


    Without any hesitation, Zhan Ming directly took out twenty primeval stones from his storage bag, and handed them to Zhao Yanran and Chu Lingyue.


    "I''ll give you the Token of the Star Courtyard and the General Disciple Token. When I''m away, you can exercise the authority over all the disciples." Ji Yuenian took out a token and handed it to Zhan Ming.


    With this token, even if Zhan Ming wanted to earn fifty primeval stones, it would be easy. At that time, he couldn''t help but look happy, took the token, and respectfully bowed. "Thank you, Senior Brother Ji!"

 Ch. 82

    Chu Lingyue and Zhao Yanran were stunned. They were at a loss while gazing at the ten primeval stones in their hands.Although ten primeval stones were very precious, they weren''t the purpose of their visit. Despite the unwillingness, they couldn''t open their mouths again.


    Lu Ming thought about it for a moment, and said to Zhao Xiaoyun, "Carve out your Outer Sect Disciple Token''s information, record it in the jade talisman, and hand it over to me."


    "Okay," Zhao Xiaoyun responded, and directly took out her Outer Sect Disciple Token.


    "Senior Brother Ji, everyone knows your name and appearance, and you were the number one in the entrance examination. You have many privileges to your name. You don''t need to carve the application in jade talisman. The leave should be handled leniently." Lu Mingxi turned his head towards Ji Yuenian. "I''m going to the Zongwu Hall now, looking for the disciple who is in charge, and will handle the matter of the sect audit for you."


    After saying that, Lu Mingxi took the jade talisman carved by Zhao Xiaoyun, and walked towards the Luan Bird.


    "Cousin, I have already inquired about the matter of leaving the clan in detail, and I have already applied to the main hall of the Cicada Peak." Zhao Xiaoyun glanced at two women with some complacency, and said to Ji Yuenian.


    Ji Yuenian nodded, looked at Zhang Tianxin, Ming Zhu, Li Yan and the others, and said, "This time, the Daoyan Temple was destroyed, You have worked hard, juniors."


    "Senior Brother Ji, you are being polite."


    "It''s only right that we share the worries and solve problems for Senior Brother Ji."


    "I have gained a lot this time, all thanks to Senior Brother Ji''s blessing."


    All the disciples didn''t even dare to say anything, and at the same time, they sensibly bade farewell, and left the Star Courtyard one after another.


    Jiao Xiuyu was silent for a moment, and said, "Junior Brother Ji, then I will go back to Eclipsed Moon Peak too."


    "Good."


    Ji Yuenian took Zhao Xiaoyun up to Luan Bird. Under the violent gusts of wind, the Luan Bird slowly spread its wings, and gradually rose into the sky, leaving the range of Star Courtyard.


    "Since the two junior sisters have a lotus leaf, I won''t send you off"


    Zhan Ming looked at Chu Lingyue and Zhao Yanran who were still standing there, and spoke coldly.


    Senior Brother Ji was obviously not familiar with these two, so there was no need for him to show any good will.


    Zhao Yanran and Chu Lingyue looked at each other with hatred in their hearts, but they didn''t dare to refute Zhan Ming who was in the upper realm of Xuan Realm, so they could only climb on the lotus leaf left by Zhao Xiaoyun and leave Xingyuan Peak.


    Xingyuan Peak, the main hall of the peak.


    "Since Senior Brother Ji wants to leave the sect, there is nothing wrong with it."


    With a smile on his face, a General Disciple in a gray robe took Ji Yuenian''s Outer Sect Disciple Token, made a record, and handed the token back.


    In the main hall of the peak, there were usually three General Disciples and fifteen disciples of the upper stage of Xuan Realm on duty. Seeing Ji Yuenian enter the hall at that time, they all walked towards him to pay respects one by one.


    "Senior Brother Ji, there are only less than 20 disciples in Xingyuan Peak. We should rely on each other and get closer, but you have always been indifferent. This time, I can finally meet you." Another disciple joked with a smile, and handed over his Transmission Jade Talisman.


    They were both high-ranking General Disciples. Although these disciples were qualified to sit on an equal footing with Ji Yuenian at that time, they still called themselves juniors and respected him as senior, because Ji Yuenian had the Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence, the bloodline of the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost.


    Ji Yuenian was well versed in the ways of the world here, so he didn''t pretend to be aloof. Instead, he spent half a stick of time exchanging pleasantries with these disciples before walking out of the main hall of Xingyuan Peak.


    "Cousin."


    Zhao Xiaoyun stood on the Luan Bird''s back, waiting quietly outside the hall.


    Under Ji Yuenian''s feet, the Yin energy of heaven and earth was self-generating. He walked up to Luan Bird''s head, and said, "Junior Brother Lu should have almost dealt with it. Let''s go."


    With a low hiss, Luan Bird raised its wings slightly, and rose into the sky. Gradually, an azure aura surrounded its huge body, and its speed was getting faster and faster.


    It quickly fled through the clouds and mist outside the Luoxia Mountain Range.


    "Stop."


    A cold voice came to his ears.


    Luan Bird slowly decreased its speed and stopped in the air.


    A black-clothed patrolman of the True Dao Realm, revealed himself from the clouds, and stood upright with his sword. After seeing Ji Yuenian''s appearance clearly, his heart trembled slightly. Even his expression eased a lot as he said, "Outer Sect Discipline Token."


    Ji Yuenian threw a token, and the black-clothed patrolman captured it in his hand.


    "Sure enough, it''s Ji Yuenian who was ranked first in the entrance examination!" After the black-clothed patrolman verified the information on the sect token, he raised his head and smiled at Ji Yuenian. "Junior brother Ji wants to leave the sect?"


    "I have some private matters I need to attend; I need to go to the ancient city of Taichu."


    The black-clothed patroller came closer to Luan Bird, handed back the token, and said, "Junior Brother Ji''s application for leave has passed the verification of the main hall of Xingyuan Peak and the Zongwu Hall of Shanwu Peak. So, you can leave."


    "Thank you, brother."


    Ji Yuenian clasped his hands, and his thoughts swirled slightly. The Luan Bird under him let out an extremely high-pitched neigh, and under the motion of its majestic wings, strong winds danced as it cleaved through the air like an arrow, and flew away.


    All the tokens of the Outer Sect Disciple originated from the Shanwu Peak. After the verification of Shanwu Peak, even if the tokens were hundreds of miles away, the information in them would be transmitted anytime and anywhere.


    "This disciple is really rich. Based on the appearance of this blue-feathered Luan bird, its value is at least more than one hundred primeval stones."


    The patrolman in black looked down at his spiritual sword and sighed slightly.


    The spiritual weapon that could allow flying was very expensive, and because of its special nature, its value was much higher than that of ordinary spiritual weapons. s?a??h th? n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    This long sword was a flying-type spiritual weapon. After breaking into the True Dao Realm, he bought it with dozens of primeval stones that he had accumulated for several years. He cherished it very much on weekdays.


    After leaving the Luoxia Mountains, the clouds and mists in all directions cleared away, and the vast scenery of heaven and earth came into view.


    With the whistling wind in her ears, Zhao Xiaoyun had already taken seat on Luan Bird''s back. Clutching a blue feather, she said excitedly, "Cousin, the Cicada Peak was full of poor disciples. There are no Luan Birds there, and this is my first time riding such a miraculous spirit bird."


    Ji Yuenian glanced at her sideways, noncommittal.


    Zhao Xiaoyun didn''t take it seriously, and said to herself, "Cicada Peak ranks 233rd among the hundreds of peaks in the Luoxia Mountain Range. Except for a few rich and well-off disciples, the rest of the disciples are almost living a poor life, with two primeval stones per month."


    The ranking of Cicada Peak was extremely low, and there were not as many General Disciples as there were in Xingyuan Peak, but only three.


    Ji Yuenian was silent for a moment, and said, "Although your aptitude is not bad, it''s not too good either. Even if you have a sufficient supply of primeval stones, it will take at least ten years for you to break into the True Dao Realm."


    Zhao Xiaoyun smiled wryly and said, "Of course I know that, but aptitude and bloodline are inborn, can it be suddenly changed by will?"


    Ji Yuenian seemed to have thought of something, looked carefully at Zhao Xiaoyun, and said, "I have a real mantra, but it is not orthodox, and there will be many consequences, would you like to practice it?"

 Ch. 83

    Zhao Xiaoyun was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Cousin, these so-called ''consequences'' what do they ..."There was some inexplicable colour in Ji Yuenian''s eyes as he said softly, "I have the blood of the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost, and I am naturally proficient in some extremely complicated and profound ghost origin spells, among which there is a very demanding ghost origin spell."


    After saying that, he flipped his palm lightly, and a jet-black yin energy coiled around his palm, condensing into a strange black jade slip.


    Zhao Xiaoyun stepped forward to take the jade slip, and slowly injected his consciousness into it.


    After a while, he raised his head, a bit hesitant.


    Ji Yuenian said in a soft voice, "This real mantra is called the Ghost Transformation True Incantation. After cultivating it, it can turn the Xuan Sea energy in your body into pure ghost energy, raising your Heart Fire sequence by two virtual levels, and it can even transform between Xuan Qi to Ghost Qi, which is extremely miraculous."


    The Ghost Qi was the lowest level of Yin Qi, and it could be compared with the heaven and earth Yin Qi energy in Ji Yuenian''s blood.


    However, the most important thing about this true mantra was that it raised two levels of Heart Fire.


    Zhao Xiaoyun had a Grade 7 Heart Fire Sequence, and his aptitude was very ordinary. It would take him more than a decade of hard work to even break into the True Dao Realm, and there was no possibility of him ever reaching the realms above it.


    However, if his Heart Fire Rank was raised by two levels to the Grade 5 Heart Fire Sequence, then Zhao Xiaoyun''s aptitude would immediately top the Luoxia Mountain Range, and he would become the best among hundreds of thousands of Outer Sect disciples and Handyman disciples. Which was outstanding enough to rank among the top 300!


    In that entrance examination, apart from Ji Yuenian and Yu Yan who had a Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence, there were only less than ten people who a Grade 5 Heart Fire Sequence. Even if one scoured the entire Luoxia Mountains, there were only a few hundred people with the Grade 5 Heart Fire Sequence.


    The difficult look on Zhao Xiaoyun''s face became more and more intense. After about a stick of incense, he looked up at the black-robed boy with fluttering sleeves, and said hesitantly, "Cousin, in your opinion, what should I do?"


    Ji Yuenian didn''t look back, but said softly, "No matter what choice you make, there are pros and cons. You just need to follow your heart."


    If he didn''t cultivate this true mantra, with Zhao Xiaoyun''s mediocre aptitude, even if he could break into the True Dao Realm, and add 800 years to his life, he would still only be a star among countless others, and he would not have a chance to enter the Divine Sea Realm.


    But if he cultivated Ghost Transformation True Incantation, he could increase two levels of Heart Fire, but the consequences were too terrible. Not only would his human body gradually transform into a ghost body, but there were many taboos that came along with it.


    The most important thing was that ordinary ghosts were cast aside by living beings. Once they cultivated to higher realm with this true mantra, they would completely turn into half-human, half-ghost, and Zhao Xiaoyun could no longer stay in Taiyu Holy Sect. He could only stay in wilderness all his life.


    Its advantages were also extremely obvious. The high qualification of the Grade 5 Heart Fire Sequence, coupled with the miraculous effect of the transformation between Xuan Qi and the Yin Qi . They were enough for Zhao Xiaoyun to cultivate to the realm of the gods and spirits(Divine Sea Realm), adding three thousand two hundred years to his lifespan.


    "The Ghost Transformation True Incantation needs to be cultivated from the basics. You are already at the orthodox Xuan Realm. If you haven''t cultivated this mantra before the True Dao Realm, you will no longer be able to practice it after you break through the realm." s?a??h th? N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Ji Yuenian saw Zhao Xiaoyun''s concerns, and spoke flatly.


    The reason why he had given this mantra to Zhao Xiaoyun was because he and his father had always been very close to the Ji family and Ji Yuenian, when they were in the ancient city of Taichu, which made him owe a little karma.


    "Then I''ll keep this jade slip for now. I''ll have to think about it more than ten years before I reach the True Dao Realm." Zhao Xiaoyun sighed and wanted to put away the black jade slip.


    Ji Yuenian flicked his sleeves slightly, and the jade slip turned into a puff of smoke and dissipated. "This jade slip is transformed by me using Yin Qi, and it can''t be preserved for a long time. When you decide to practice, go to Xingyuan Peak to find me again."


    Zhao Xiaoyun''s complexion was a bit complicated. He stood up, bowed to Ji Yuenian, and said, "Thank you, Cousin."


    "People, ghosts, demons, spirits, monsters and many other creatures, in fact, there''s not much difference," Ji Yuenian said in a deep voice, and the words seemed to mean something. "This life is short, and eventually the spirit and soul will die away. Even if the true spirit dies, it can be reborn after reincarnation, but the soul will no longer be you."


    The soul was attached to the true spirit, and it carried everything that a creature had in this life.


    The true spirit was immortal. If a living being died, its soul would disappear and be annihilated between heaven and the earth.


    After reincarnation, under the blessing of the majestic and vast laws of heaven and earth, a soul would be reborn on top of the true spirit. To some extent, it could be regarded as another newborn creature.


    Only the souls who had survived the three major tribulations and were in the Taiyi realm could truly awaken the memory of the true spirit and completely brand the soul of this life into the true spirit.


    In this way, even if the soul of this life was scattered away, in the countless reincarnations thereafter, there would be many opportunities to awaken the memory of the soul of this life. Only such characters could be called Immortals.


    Even if Zhao Xiaoyun''s cultivation level was not so mediocre, if the soul of this life completely dissipated, there was no possibility of recovering it.


    That was to say, if Zhao Xiaoyun did not survive the three major tribulations in this life, then his death would be regarded as a real death, and he would have completely disappeared between heaven and earth.


    Even if his true soul gave birth to a new soul after reincarnation, it would no longer be Zhao Xiaoyun.


    Although the true spirit can not be seen under normal circumstances, but many of the powerful fortune-tellers also had very special methods up their sleeves. Not only would they detect the existence of the true spirit, but also directly attack the true spirit. It was just that for the creatures below the stuck under the three major tribulations, there was no substantial difference between the destruction of the soul and the collapse of the true spirit.


    Zhao Xiaoyun walked closer to the azure light shield around Luan Bird, looked at the vast mountains and rivers fleeting past below his feet, and murmured: "Compared with the ordinary people who can only live for a hundred years in the ancient city of Taichu, the True Dao Realm is even more difficult. Eight hundred years of life is long enough, but it is still far from enough."


    Ji Yuenian walked up to Luan Bird''s head, sat cross-legged, and his long jet-black hair danced along the winds. Looking at the towering giant city that was already looming in the distance, he said, "Longevity is hard, but it''s not difficult. If you want to live forever, you need to sacrifice many things."


    Moreover, longevity was not eternal life.


    The life expectancy increased by 800 years in the True Dao Realm, and the life span increased by 3200 years in the Divine Sea Realm, could both be called longevity to a certain extent.


    But, this type of immortality couldn''t even reach the brink of what one would call an eternal life.


    "Any living being who stepped into the path of cultivation should do whatever it takes to achieve longevity!" Zhao Xiaoyun stood up abruptly, his tone full of firmness. "Cousin, please give me the real mantra, and I''ll start cultivating it now!"


    The wind howled, and the young man in the black moon robe didn''t turn his head. His slender and pale fingers flipped over while his sleeves fluttered, and a dark jade talisman once again condensed. It floated beside Zhao Xiaoyun.


    "Half-human, half-ghost, casual cultivation in the wilderness, so what!?" Zhao Xiaoyun grabbed the pitch-black jade talisman, with a hint of madness in his eyes, and murmured, "It''s better than dying in despair after hundreds of years!"

 Ch. 84 - Xuanqing

    After his words fell, the jade talisman gradually disintegrated into pitch-black yin energy, pouring in from Zhao Xiaoyun''s seven orifices, making his expression completely dull.Ji Yuenian stood up from Qingluan''s blue feathered back, and when his sleeves flipped, a green wooden membrane formed around Zhao Xiaoyun''s body, blocking out all the remaining wind.


    After a long while, Zhao Xiaoyun seemed to be able to recover. A strange black light appeared in his eyes. He remained a little unstable for a while, and fell on Qingluan''s back.


    After adjusting his breath again for an incense stick¡¯s worth of time, Zhao Xiaoyun opened his eyes, exhaled a wisp of black air, and sighed with a complex look. "This true mantra is really mysterious and extraordinary. It can transform Xuan Qi and Ghost Qi interchangeably. Such a miraculous mantra can only be witnessed in a lifetime."


    Ji Yuenian shook his head and said, "We havve arrived at the ancient city of Taichu."


    The majestic giant city was getting closer and closer, and Qingluan directly flew in at a height of hundreds of feet, casting a large shadow on the city wall. Its presence caused disturbances in the big city gate on the west side of the outer city.


    Zhao Xiaoyun got up and walked to the edge of the spiritual light shield around Qingluan''s body, looked down at the ancient city of Taichu, and said, "Cousin, shall we directly head to the Ji family residence?"


    "Swallowing Cloud City, Crane Cloud Temple."


    While the two were talking, Qingluan was already approaching Tunyun City rapidly.


    Looking down, he could vaguely see many Daoist pagodas and Daoist temples lined up in the Crane Cloud Temple.


    "What''s that in the sky?!" Countless people in Tunyun City looked up at the huge Qingluan, their faces full of shock.


    "This kind of subdued violent aura ¡­ could it be someone in the True Dao Realm?" A member of the Heyun Guan lineage who was at the Initial stage of the Xuan Realm looked up with horrified eyes, and made his own judgment in an instant!


    "Looking at its direction, it''s heading straight for Heyun Temple, it should be an old acquaintance of Hexuan."


    ¡­ s?a??h th? N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Qingluan gradually lowered, and slowly landed outside the Xuanqing Hall, the main hall of Heyun Temple. It stopped on the stone platform with a radius of several tens of feet beside the Xuanqing Hall.


    Daoist Hexuan had already noticed this and stood under the gate of the Xuanqing Palace. There were several people following behind him, one of them was the indifferent woman in Tsing Yi who was the mirror ghost.


    "That''s Ji''s family¡¯s Ji Yuenian?"


    "This spirit bird is majestic and powerful, and its aura is far beyond the Xuan Realm. Ji Yuenian can possess such a miraculous spirit bird, then does it not mean that his own cultivation is even more terrifying!"


    "I heard that Ji Yuenian rose up though the ranks of the Taiyu Holy Sect, and his position has skyrocketed. Now, he has already reached an unimaginable height."


    "Even Patriarch Hexuan deigned to come out of the hall to greet him, tsk tsk."


    Outside he Heyun Temple, many disciples of Daoist Hexuan''s direct bloodlines and subordinates all paid their attention to Ji Yuenian and Zhao Xiaoyun, their faces full of admiration and amazement.


    Although they didn''t know the specific regulations of the entrance examination in the Luoxia Mountains, they had heard about Ji Yuenian¡¯s entrance examination which had hundreds of thousands of creatures participating. Though they weren¡¯t aware of the details.


    "I greet you, fellow Daoist."


    Ji Yuenian and Zhao Xiaoyun got off Qingluan, and bowed towards Daoist Hexuan.


    Now both of them were disciples of the Outer Sect of the Luoxia Mountain Range, and one of them was Ji Yuenian who was about to be enshrined as the Holy Son.


    They generally regard themselves as Elders.


    Daoist Hexuan showed a polite smile, took a step from the gate of the palace, and said to Ji Yuenian, "There was a saying that after three days of separation, you should look at each other with admiration. Although Junior Brother Ji left the ancient city of Taichu not more than three days ago, you really surprised me."


    The peak of True Dao Realm was only one step away from the Divine Sea Realm, but this step had become a massive hurdle for countless creatures, which could be called a natural barrier.


    Daoist Hexuan was sent out to the ancient city of Taichu, where he guarded one territory. On weekdays, he educated the blood descendants and taught his disciples himself.


    Although this time was spent leisurely and peacefully, the hope of breaking through the barrier remained slim. At that time, the news of someone with the blood of the Tongxuan Heart Ghost and a Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence being born had renewed someone of Hexuan¡¯s earlier spirit.


    If Ji Yuenian broke through the True Dao Realm, after entering the Six Mountains and Three Realms, he would be directly promoted to the status of the potential Holy Son. Under the sect''s emphasis, he would receive almost all kinds of spiritual resources.


    Among them, there were very few things that helped to break through the True Dao Realm. It was just that for Daoist Hexuan, he had neither the wealth nor the qualifications to purchase such extremely precious spiritual sources.


    At that time, if his relationship was good with Ji Yuenian, after he was ranked as the potential Holy Son, there would be a faint hope for him to breakthrough.


    Ji Yuenian clasped his hands and said, "Senior brother, you are too humble."


    "Two juniors, please come into the hall." Daoist Hexuan stepped into the Xuanqing Hall first, and the Qingyi mirror ghost behind him gave Ji Yuenian a faint look, stepped aside, and led the two into the hall.


    The Xuanqing Hall was as quiet as before.


    In the main hall, there were still three statues of righteous gods and spirits enshrined. A group of people walked through the main hall and went straight into the side hall.


    Daoist Hexuan did not take a seat on the Daoist platform this time, but ordered Qingyi to fetch several futons, and sat down one after another with Ji Yuenian and Zhao Xiaoyun.


    "About the matter of Ji''s family, I have sent numerous jade slips to the Luoxia Mountains in the past few days, and my junior should have understood something by now," Daoist Hexuan looked a little more solemn, and took out a jade slip between his palms. "However, I only discovered last night that the Ji Quexe is not that simple. After slaughtering thousands of souls of the Ji family in Anyang, she did not actually leave the ancient city of Taichu."

 Ch. 85 - Divine Might Overwhelms 3,000 Miles

    Zhao Xiaoyun''s complexion changed slightly, and he said, "This girl, I¡¯ll have to give it to her guts. She has killed so many people, yet she still hasn''t left!"Ji Yuenian took the jade slip and inserted his consciousness into it. After a while, he slowly raised his head, with a trace of solemnity in his gaze, and said, "If it''s true, it would be tricky."


    The things recorded in the jade slip were extremely appalling, and even Ji Yuenian''s profound state of mind fluctuated a little.


    Zhao Xiaoyun sized up Daoist Hexuan and Ji Yuenian''s expressions, feeling puzzled. He couldn''t help but take the jade slip from Ji Yuenian''s hands, and after a few breaths of exploration, his complexion changed drastically. He said, "There is such a thing! Even Taichu land''s Gods shouldn''t be able to subdue this beast!"


    The real Ji Quexue had long since lost her mind and soul, and the creature occupying Ji Quexue''s body was an ancient God of heaven and earth who had long-lost his status as a god.


    At the beginning, Ji Hong gave up his vitality and offered Ji Quexue the Heart Fire within his soul, so that she could rekindle her Heart Fire and escape from Ji Family''s dungeon.


    But, just as she was walking towards the edge of the ancient city of Taichu, she was reborn in that ancient temple by a remnant spirit of a righteous God, and in some ways she was completely reduced to a ghost.


    The ¡°thing¡± went to Ji''s house in Anyang and started a massacre in order to completely eliminate Ji Quexue''s obsession, so that it could truly assimilate with the new body, and increase its chances in reshaping its former divine body.


    After Ji Quexue slaughtered thousands of souls of Anyang Ji''s family, there seemed to be some unimaginable changes that made Ji Quexue break away from the shackles of half-ghost body, reconnect with the laws of heaven and earth, so that she could gain the divine power of the Imperial God into her body. Thus, receiving the qualifications to compete with the Taichu land''s god for the position of the righteous god in a radius of thousands of miles territory.


    The reason Daoist Hexuan noticed this was that there were terrible changes in the five palaces enshrining the Gods of Taichu. The statue of the three gods in the palaces were already replaced by the figure of a girl in white robes.


    Apart from the palace of worship in the Crane Cloud Temple, only the main palace at the top of the first pagoda in Tunyun City still retained the true image of the God of Taichu Land.


    This matter was enough to show that Ji Quexue and the Taichu Lands¡¯ Gods were having a terrifying confrontation in an unknown place at the time.


    "I have reported this matter to the Taiyu Holy Sect. In the next few days, there will be a Divine Sea Realm powerhouse coming to Taichu. Junior Brother Ji has come for nothing this time." Daoist Hexuan took back the jade slip and sighed. "I never thought that this spirit''s real identity would turn out to be the remnant spirit of the righteous god of heaven and earth. It should have reshaped the divine body by chance in the process of slaughtering the people of Anyang Ji''s family. Now this matter ¡­ it''s not something you, or I can interfere with.¡±


    "Taichu Lands¡¯ God is the Ninth Rank righteous god of heaven and earth. What is its equivalent according to the cultivation of living beings?" Ji Yuenian raised his head and asked softly.


    Daoist Hexuan hesitated for a moment, and said, "These gods of heaven and earth are different in nature from us and other creatures, and I have never fought against them. But, if we force a segregation according to their combat power, the Gods of Taichu should have surpassed the True Dao Realm. They should be on par with the creatures that have just entered the Divine Sea Realm."


    Every thousand miles, there was a Land God guarding them. These lowly gods of heaven and earth were not too overbearing, but due to the special nature of their divine power, their combat power far exceeded that of their peers. Even the Ninth Rank God had a terrifying combat power comparable to the Divine Sea Realm.


    Zhao Xiaoyun was a little discouraged. "What if this ghost snatches the throne of Taichu''s land God before the people of the Taiyu Holy Sect arrives?"


    Daoist Hexuan''s eyes turned dark, and he said slowly, "If that''s the case, then she will become the new Land God of Taichu. Even if the Sect''s Divine Sea Realm powerhouse descends, they wouldn¡¯t be able to attack her again."


    At that moment, a terrifying killing intent descended from the sky.


    The whole Crane Cloud Temple trembled.


    Daoist Hexuan suddenly stood up, and his complexion was extremely pale as he said, "Killing intent from a Divine Sea Realm powerhouse!"


    The roofs of several halls in the Xuanqing Palace exploded, and Ji Yuenian was surrounded by terrifying imposing power from all directions, making him unable to move for a while!


    A beautiful young girl in white clothes appeared from above the sky. She looked down at Ji Yuenian with a little joy in her eyes. The ancient voice spread throughout the thousands of miles of the ancient city of Taichu. "Thankfully, you came here without my effort. You are the source of the obsession of this body! If you are killed, the "God Gathering Blood Curse" will be completed, and I will be able to truly reshape the complete divine body and enter the world''s Righteous God Sequence!".


    Zhao Xiaoyun was extremely terrified, and his spirit trembled. He raised his arm and pointed at the statue in the main hall of Xuanqing Palace, and shouted in a trembling voice, "It''s changed! It''s changed!"


    Among the three real gods, the statue of Taichu God slowly twisted and changed, and finally turned into the appearance of a girl in white clothes!


    Up to now, four of the five temples enshrined in Taichu Land God had been completely eroded!


    "Die."


    The girl in white clothes was extremely beautiful, but her voice was hoarse and ancient. She stretched out her slender hand from the gauze sleeve, and gently pointed a finger at Ji Yuenian.


    The world became silent. s?a??h th? N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Countless beings were suppressed to the ground by the divine power that swept across thousands of miles, unable to move.


    Even Daoist Hexuan sat on the ground, and the aura of the True Dao Realm reached its peak, resisting the terrifying divine power from above.


    A blazing rainbow of light rushed out from her fingertips, attacking Ji Yuenian!


    Wherever the rainbow passed, the space shattered, and everything returned to nothingness.

 Ch. 86

    Ji Yuenian raised his head, his pupils reflected the rapidly penetrating rainbow light, and while shaking his hands, he directly displayed the protective magical power in "Greenwood Transmutation Spirit Skill".When the blue light suddenly appeared, dozens of incomparably small and blue lotus flowers condensed one after another, but under the pressure of the divine power within the rainbow light, all of them turned into nothingness, and shattered into countless bright blue lights.


    Rainbow light appeared closer and closer.


    Daoist Hexuan, who was in the True Dao Realm, struggled to resist the imposing power of divine power, his face extremely gray and defeated.


    Ji Yuenian had Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline, and had ignited the Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence. He was even more valued by the Li family in the third mountain range. If he died in the ancient city of Taichu on the way out of the sect, Daoist Hexuan, a member of the ancient city of Taichu would find it hard to escape from the punishment.


    "Cousin!" Zhao Xiaoyun was frightened. He was being suppressed by the imposing power, making him knell down on the ground. He looked at Ji Yuenian with an expression of despair.


    Boom!


    Under the attack of rainbow light, Ji Yuenian''s body collapsed inch by inch, and completely disappeared between the heaven and the earth


    Ji Quexue, who was hovering in the sky, seemed a little surprised, and said softly, "You managed to escape my Meteor Spirit Finger. It seems that you have a lot of secrets."


    The dense yin energy of the world gathered, and after the rainbow light completely dissipated, a blurry figure gradually appeared where Ji Yuenian was standing just now. The blur completely faded away within a few breaths, revealing its appearance.


    It was Ji Yuenian who was wearing a black moon robe.


    The divine power of "Ji Quexue" at that time was similar to that of the Ninth Rank God, and had far exceeded the limit of the Peak True Dao Realm. In any case, it was hard to escape from such an attack.


    As a last resort, Ji Yuenian had no choice but to fully arouse the extremely miraculous Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline. In that instant, he completely transformed his soul and body into the Yin Qi of heaven and earth, barely avoiding this rainbow light.


    "Cousin, you''re fine!" Zhao Xiaoyun was overjoyed, but the next moment he noticed Ji Yuenian''s abnormality. Not only was his face extremely pale, without a trace of blood, the Yin Qi around him became more and more violent, as if at any time it would be out of control.


    Transforming the spirit and body into the Yin Qi of heaven and earth took an extreme toll on him. Only someone with the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline could do such bizarre things. Only if Ji Yuenian used the real power deep in the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline, he could perform this feat once.


    If Ji Quexue attacked him again with a similar attack there¡¯d be nothing he could do to defend against it.


    The gap in cultivation was really too big, even to the point where even the best of spiritual weapons were almost useless in this situation.


    Even if Ji Yuenian sacrificed the Ningxue Xuanjian, he could not fully exert its power at that moment. It would not be of much use in front of "Ji Quexue".


    "Such a miraculous escape technique, can you perform it a second time?" Ji Quexue stood quietly in the sky, glanced at Ji Yuenian, and pointed her finger lightly again. "The source of obsession, die and fulfill my "God Gathering Blood Curse", and help me ascend to the throne of the righteous gods of heaven and earth within the territory of thousands of miles!"


    At the same time, the vast divine power swept across her body, suppressing thousands of miles around, and all the creatures within the territory of the ancient city of Taichu bowed to the ground, kneeling under the majesty of the righteous god of heaven and earth.


    Ji Yuenian looked at the untainted rainbow light rushing to obliterate him. He clenched his slender and pale fingers tightly, and struggle appeared in his eyes, as if he was hesitating for something.


    "Small flies dare to call themselves gods!"


    At that moment, the boundless voice spread in all directions, and a translucent yellowish-black figure appeared, with incomparably complicated seal characters engraved on the robe. The infinite divine power clearly revealed the identity of this person.


    The people of Taichu respected a god.


    After his reprimand, he flicked his sleeve robe, and a majestic yellowish-black true light swept out, protecting Ji Yuenian, barely blocking the beam that was enough to crush Ji Yuenian''s soul into fragments.


    "I have already corroded four of your five worship temples. You should be trapped in the main hall at this time, yet you can still show your avatar here?"


    Ji Quexue looked at the God of Taichu as she exclaimed with surprise.


    Venerable God of Taichu Land shook his head, and said, "Although you have reshaped your divine body using a different method, you still haven''t reached the level of a God. You are just a ghost."


    Hearing this, Ji Quexue''s eyes turned cold, and after a moment, she said expressionlessly, "You actually left the seal of the righteous God in the main palace, you are extremely stupid!"


    A white light burst out, and Ji Quexue just stepped out after saying this, and left here amidst the rainbow light.


    God looked down at Ji Yuenian, his expression no longer having its former calm, and there was a trace of sadness in his tone. He said, "This slut has gone to fuse with the divine seal. Taking this opportunity, I will send you out of the boundaries of the ancient city of Taichu, so that you can be safe."


    Ji Yuenian''s clenched fingers loosened at some point, and he clasped his hands and bowed to the God of Taichu Land, saying, "Why would the God give up the divine seal and come out as an incarnation to save me?" S?a?ch* Th? N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    "God of Yuanyan Land Earth Realm issued an edict a few breaths ago, ordering me to give up the divine seal and rescue you," the yellowish-black true light around the body of Taichu God became more and more intense, and even completely covered his face. "As far as I know, it should be related to your Taiyu Holy Sect."


    After saying this, the God stopped talking. Countless yellowish-black true lights rolled out from around his body, wrapping Ji Yuenian in it.


    At that time, although he abandoned the divine seal, under the laws of heaven and earth, he was still the righteous God of heaven and earth within the territory of the ancient city of Taichu. He had the mysterious means to move the creatures within the territory.


    For "Ji Quexue", the purpose of killing Ji Yuenian was to completely eliminate Ji Quexue''s obsession, so that her remnant spirit could be completely integrated with this body, which could complete the "Gathering God and Blood" curse.


    At that moment, Taichu Venerable God took the initiative to abandon the divine seal and left the main palace to incarnate there. Ji Quexue would naturally choose the easiest way to directly invade the empty main palace and fuse herself with the divine seal. In this way, she would truly replace the God of Taichu Land and became a new God of Heaven and Earth within the territory of thousands of miles.


    At the same time, the Qingluo realm.


    "Thank you very much."


    Yu Jingtian was still wearing the old wrinkled Daoist robe. He sat weakly on the futon, and casually clasped his hands towards the Yuanyan City God in front of him.


    "In order to rescue a disciple, I had to destroy more than 100,000 years of cultivation in the land of Taichu. Yu Jingtian, how will you compensate me?" Yuan Yan City God looked at the scene inside the light curtain in the palace, and said flatly.


    Yu Jingtian sighed, and directed the conversation to Ji Quexue. "Do you know where this girl came from?"


    Yuanyan City God looked at Ji Quexue who was inside the light curtain on the other side. At that time, she was merging the divine seal in the main palace of the Taichu land, to become true god of heaven and earth.


    "It''s nothing more than an inferior spiritual skill to reshape a god''s body. The full name of this curse is "Crane Snow God Curse", which was the basis for many gods to acquire divine power many years ago. There are rumors. Now this curse has long been eliminated by us, but it has been picked up by her as a treasure."


    In his tone, it seemed that he was quite disdainful of Ji Quexue''s pride "Curse of Gathering God and Blood".

 Ch. 87

    Yu Jingtian''s expressions were a little strange, and he also raised his head to look at Ji Quexue who was inside the light curtain. "The "Crane Snow God Curse", from the name, is it created by that Crane Snow God?"Yuan Yan City God nodded his head and said, "It is indeed as you expect."


    Crane Snow Heavenly God was a very famous god in the vast and boundless North Lu Continent. He was ranked sixth amongst all the gods, and his divine power was immeasurable and boundless.


    According to ancient records, the Crane Snow Heavenly God was once killed by combined efforts of several powerhouses who had crossed the third tribulation, and his body was shattered. Since that day, his position as a god had been vacant.


    It was just that for some reason, the remnant spirit of the Crane Snow Heavenly God had created a spiritual skill by chance, which could use the soul, blood, and energy of the living beings to gather and reshape the god body. One could directly return to the god position and ascend the ranks of gods again.


    Even if there was already a new God of Heaven and Earth in the territory of the former overlord, it could still use the reshaped god body to give the new god a tough competition for the divine seal. S?a??h the Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Since then, the "Crane Snow God Curse" had spread throughout North Lu Continent at an extremely terrifying speed. It was nothing more than a remnant formula of the "Crane Snow Curse".


    "In another thousand and six hundred years, there will be the Daoist Summit that happens every ten thousand years. In the first two summits, my Taiyu Holy Sect was the last. This time, the sect has birthed an incomparably rare Tong Xuan Bloodline talent, which makes me hope for better ranking. The kid can not be harmed." Yu Jingtian stood up, and shot out several miraculous spirit talisman one after another. As soon as flew into the air, they quickly turned into rainbows that rushed towards various places.


    Yuan Yan City God''s reverent gaze was somewhat complicated. He glanced at Yu Jingtian and said, "You, the master of the Yutai Realm, who has retired for more than 20,000 years, are finally going to reappear?"


    Yu Jingtian raised his head slightly, and there was an incomparably bright mysterious light surging around him, completely enveloping his body.


    After a few breaths, the magnificent bluish-white brilliance dissipated, revealing his facial features.


    The robe with intricate patterns was extremely luxurious. His face was clear and handsome, with red lips, and dark and deep eyes. He was actually a handsome young Daoist.


    The extremely terrifying aura rushed out from him, and swept the entire Yutai Realm in just a few breaths. Countless Taiyi Holy Sect¡¯s powerhouses who lived in the Yutai Realm were all horrified, and their expressions changed drastically.


    "Who is it!"


    "A terrifying aura that surpasses the Divine Sea realm appeared in the Yutai Realm!"


    "Quickly report to Supreme Leader!"


    All the great powers of the Taiyu Holy Sect in the Realm of Spiritual Gods came out of their Dao fields, gathered on the extreme sky of the Yutai Realm, and looked at the edge of the territory where the Jade Emperor''s Heavenly Dao Temple was located. They all revealed looks of horror.


    After a few breaths, a somewhat vague figure condensed and appeared. It was the supreme leader of the current Yutai Realm.


    Yujiu Zhangjing looked at the direction of the Jade Emperor''s Heavenly Dao Temple, and a terrible guess gradually emerged in his heart. He murmured, "That direction, could it be ..."


    "May I ask which senior revealed this aura?" A powerhouse bowed and asked.


    "If I''m not wrong, one of the Taiyu Holy Sect¡¯s ancestor who has retired for a long time must have revealed himself." The Supreme Leader seemed to be aware of something. With a flick of his sleeve robe, several talismans were summoned from afar. "Immediately go to the other two realms and spread the word about this."


    As soon as his words fell, there was a magnificent voice that shook the world and spread throughout the six mountains and three realms of the Taiyu Sacred Sect.


    "Yu Jingtian, the master of the Yutai Realm, has returned to the Taiyu and is now in charge of the Yutai!"


    Countless creatures were horrified, and those who heard the words all knelt down on the ground respectfully, and bowed deep, foreheads almost touching the ground.


    No matter which corner of the six mountains and three realms they were in, all the creatures related to Taiyu Holy Sect bowed their heads after listening to the edict.


    There was no other reason, because this voice belonged to the most powerful person in the entire Taiyu Sect, someone who had been in charge of the Taiyu Sect for more than 30,000 years.


    But in just a few hours, the entire Yuanyan realm shook violently!


    Even the Chechi Realm and Baiye Realm, which were bordering the Yuanyan Realm, got the news, and many of the most powerful forces among them sent heavy gifts one after another to congratulate Yu Jingtian on regaining the authority of the Yutai Realm.


    Since then, there had been two Divine Palace Ream powerhouses in Taiyu Holy Sect. Under their mutual influence, the forces in the Yuanyan realm and the adjacent had been surpassed a lot.


    The Yuanyan Land Boundary was located at the extreme northern border of Northern Lu Continent, and the dozens of surrounding territories were very barren, never birthing a powerhouse in the Divine Palace Realm. The only powerful force in the Yuanyan Realm, now had two Divine Palace Realm Powerhouses, and they already had invincible resources compared to several realms adjacent to the Yuanyan Realm.


    "The Lord of the Jade Terrace [Yutai]!"


    "Yu Jingtian, the supreme figure that only exists in the records of the sect''s classics!"


    "Among the three upper realms of the Taiyu Holy Sect, Qingluo Realm governs all matters of the Outer Sect, and Yutai Realm governs all matters of the Six Mountains. Only the Taiyu Realm, where the Divine Palace master lives, is the true core region of the Taiyu Sacred Sect. Yutai realm already had a Supreme Leader. This time, Yu Jingtian of the Divine Palace Realm appeared and regained the position of the master of the Yutai Realm. I don¡¯t know what kind of changes it will bring to the many forces within the Six Mountains and Three Realms."


    "No matter how unwilling Master Yujiu is, he can only obediently hand over the position of Yu Jingtian, but there are so many people under his command that he has already formed a towering tree with luxuriant branches and leaves. Such a force that has been painstakingly managed for many years. The destruction of the court will definitely have a profound impact on the structure of the Six Mountains and Three Realms."


    For an indescribably colossal monster like Taiyu Holy Sect, the slightest movement of the people at the top would greatly affect the countless creatures below.


    What''s more, Yu Jingtian returned to Taiyu without warning, and directly took control of Yutai Realm, one of the three Upper Realms. For the many complex forces intertwined within the Six Mountains and Tree Realms, it could be regarded as a catastrophe.


    ¡­


    The true light gradually dissipated. Ji Yuenian opened his eyes, and found himself on the edge of the ancient city of Taichu.


    Looking up, a huge barrier shaped like an oven traversed the extreme sky, looking majestic.


    Qingluan Mountains.


    Ji Yuenian recognized his location in an instant.


    Looking sideways in the direction of the ancient city of Taichu, translucent ripples of divine power swept across the sky, and brilliant lights of spiritual techniques shone one after another. It was obvious that the God of Taichu Earth had already fought with Ji Quexue.


    At that time, the ancient city of Taichu was in a mess. The Crane Cloud Temple was located in Tunyun City, one of the eight inner cities. The disaster affected countless cultivation families. Without the slightest resistance, they were directly annihilated by divine power and turned into meandering dust particles.

 Ch. 88 - Alchemical Materials

    Under the series of changes, even Ji Yuenian''s state of mind was in chaos. When the second attack fell, if the Taichu Land God had not made a move, even if he had extremely rare blood of Tong Xuan Ghost bloodline , It was also very likely that he would have fallen there.There was no suspense in the fight in the ancient city of Taichu. Ji Quexue went against the trend by relying on "The Curse of Gathering Gods and Blood", and won the divine seal, reaping an obvious advantage. The demise of the land god was a foregone conclusion.


    Although Ji Yuenian didn''t know why the "Yuan Yan City God" mentioned by Taichu Land God didn''t kill Ji Quexue himself, he still had his own guesses. It must be a great power in the Taiyu Holy Sect that noticed him, and saved him through the Yuan Yan City God¡¯s intervention.


    But, he didn''t know that although Yuan Yan Land God did have the ability to kill Ji Quexue at will, he just didn''t want to do it at all.


    As the righteous god of heaven and earth who governed one area of land, Yuan Yan¡¯s City God''s divine power was comparable to the supreme power in the realm of the gods and spirits. He had dozens of rank 9 gods and mountain gods under his command. Regarding what happened in a corner of the ancient city of Taichu, the Yuan Yan city god would rather let the land of Taichu perish than use his divine power


    After all, it had something to do with the conditions for promotion to the Deity.


    His aim was to control many righteous ninth-rank heaven and mountain gods in Yuanyan Realm, and to control thunder, rain, wind, snow, and other celestial phenomena within Yuanyan Realm. Everything else had nothing to do with him.


    For this Yuanyan land god, it was enough for the righteous god to exist in the ancient city of Taichu. As for whether the righteous god was the Taichu land god or Ji Quexue, it didn''t make any difference.


    Ji Yuenian stood still on the spot for a long while Looking at the Qingluan Mountains which appeared so close, he had an inexplicable look in his eyes.


    If he remembered correctly, Mo Yuan, the wolf demon in the True Dao Realm, lived in the northwest corner of the Qingluan Mountain Range, not too far from here.


    The land god of Taichu sent Ji Yuenian outside the territory of the ancient city of Taichu, but by coincidence, it happened to pass him to the Qingluan Mountains.


    "Late Stage of True Dao Realm?"


    While Ji Yuenian murmured, he flipped his hand and took out the Edict Ebony Sword. Under the enchantment of the strong Bloodline power, the bright white sword light rushed out from the sword.


    With many psychic treasures and spiritual techniques in his possession, Ji Yuenian, at Late Stage of Xuan Realm, could completely crush ordinary creatures in the True Dao Realm.


    Even for the wolf demon Mo Yuan who had accumulated so many years of strength, Ji Yuenian still had the power to defeat him.


    However, with his current appearance, it was impossible to enter the Qingluan Mountains.


    Ji Yuenian walked towards the barrier of the Heavenly Furnace, and just after taking a few steps, the Xuan Qi around him gradually changed, and finally completely condensed into an extremely dark ghost energy, making his figure in the dark black moon robe appear darker under the night sky.


    Zhao Xiaoyun had to give up everything to forcefully practice the "True Curse of Shedding Ghosts", but for Ji Yuenian, it was a natural bloodline ability, and now it could be used like his own part, without any sense of stagnation.


    ¡­


    The Ancient temple.


    Chu Yuehe looked at the dozens of light curtains floating around him, frowned, and murmured, "Master will come for alchemy in a few years, and these alchemical materials are still too few after all."


    Standing beside him were two demon generals, one was dressed in silver armor, and the other was the red-armored demon general.


    The red-armored Demon General took a step forward and said with a smile, "Young Master Chu, there is no need to worry too much about this matter. I will go out with a few demon generals in a few days and take some souls at the True Dao Realm to be used as pill materials."


    Chu Yuehe glanced at him sideways, shook his head and said, "No, Master has already issued an order, and now we are setting up an alchemy sect within the territory under the rule of Tai Yu Holy Sect. If it is not necessary, we cannot leave the Qingluan Mountains."


    The red-armored demon general secretly scolded Chu Yuehe for being stupid, but he never showed it on his face. He still smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, if Lord Yaojun really came here for alchemy, but found that the materials are not enough, what should he do under the rage?"


    Chu Yuehe was a disciple of Bailu Yaojun, and his status was far beyond what these patrolling demon generals could compare to. Although these demon generals had been against Chu Yuehe for a long time, on the surface they had never refuted him.


    At that time, there were only a few years left before Bailu Yaojun began alchemy.


    Originally, there were many demon spirits and ghosts in Qingluan Mountains. Apart from Chu Yuehe''s daily alchemy, there were more than enough for Bailu Yaojun to use in alchemy. S?a?ch* Th? N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    It was just that Zhao Lun, who was in charge of the Qingluan Mountain Range last time, was too greedy and took a huge amount of alchemy materials in the Qingluan Mountain Range. These demon generals also followed Zhao Lun to devour the benefits, and overlooked the limited resources of the Qingluan Mountains.


    Chu Yuehe thought for a moment, then shook his head, and said, "Since I came here, the statistics of the alchemical materials have been like this every month. Even if the materials are insufficient at that time, it is not my responsibility. Presumably, Master should not be irresponsible, and blame me."


    As soon as these words came out, not only the silver-armored demon generals and the red-armored demon generals'' faces turned dark, but even the other patrolling demon generals standing outside the ancient temple couldn''t hold back their panic and rushed in one after another. They respectfully saluted towards Chu Yue.


    "Young Master Chu, you must not think like that!" A demon general stepped forward and shouted loudly, "Young Master Chu is a direct disciple of Lord Yaojun with a bright future, and he was sent to take charge of the Qingluan Mountain Range this time. It just shows that Lord Yaojun attaches great importance to you. If you just maintain the status quo, your status with Lord Yaojun will definitely drop a lot!"


    The silver-armored demon general scolded Chu Yuehe''s ancestors in his heart, stepped forward and said, "Master Chu, in charge of mountains is like practicing cultivation. You can''t fail to understand the truth of sailing against the current if you don''t advance or retreat.


    "..."


    The rest of the demon generals were secretly slandering him. You are a disciple of the Bailu Yaojun, so the Yaojun will naturally not do anything to you, but if he realizes that demon generals are encroaching on the resources of the mountains so presumptuously, he will definitely go berserk, and kill us with a slap.


    Everyone had a greedy heart. It was not impossible to erode the resources of the mountain range, but there must be a limit, otherwise it would be a catastrophe, and the gods would not be able to save you.


    Following the continuous persuasion of the demon generals, Chu Yuehe obviously had some new thoughts, but he still didn''t really make up his mind.


    The red-armored Demon General saw that there was some hope, so he added fuel to the flames again, saying, "Don''t worry, my lord, you just need to pass down the command talisman that allows me to leave the Heavenly Furnace Barrier, and we will destroy it afterward, so it won''t have anything to do with you."


    The silver-armored demon general responded, "That''s right, all the materials taken back at that time will be counted on the young master''s head. If there is any accident, I will bear it all."


    Bailu Yaojun''s rules were extremely strict. If there was no Leaving Furnace Talisman personally given by Chu Yuehe, even if these demons had the ability to leave the barrier of Tianlu, they would not dare to leave at all.


    Chu Yuehe thought for a while, then finally nodded, and said, "Yes, but when you go out, you must avoid the Taiyu Holy Sect. Taiyu Holy Sect and Master have long agreed for us to set up an alchemy sect here, but you can''t kill the creatures outside the territory at will. If you are noticed ..."


    "My lord, don''t think about it too much. We naturally know about these things."


    "Young master, don''t worry, in just a few days, there will be countless materials filled in."


    Many demon generals responded one after another, urging Chu Yuehe to carve the order talisman.

 Ch. 89 - Alchemy

    Under the eyes of several demon generals, Chu Yuehe took out a seal from his sleeve, which was the royal demon seal used to control the Qingluan Mountain Range.There used to be a mountain god in the Qingluan Mountains, but the body of the god was directly crushed by the Bailu Yaojun a long time ago along with remnant spirit.


    Only this was left, which could control the energy of the Qingluan Mountain Range, and it was refined by the Egret Demon Monarch, turning into the core of the formation of the Heavenly Furnace Barrier. At the same time, this seal was also a symbol of authority in charge of the Qingluan Mountain Range.


    Bailu Yaojun comes from the Mingyou Sea Realm, which was close to the Yuanyan Realm. He was the supreme power in the realm of the Gods and Spirits. In addition to the many alchemical materials in the mountain range that were used by the disciples under his command, a large part of the pills flowed into the Taiyu Holy Sect at a very low price. S?a?ch* Th? n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Although there were many mountain peaks proficient in alchemy within the Six Mountains and Three Realms of the Taiyu Holy Sect, most of them were orthodox spiritual pills, which were not too affordable, while the pills in the Qingluan Mountains were almost filled with demonic energy. They were supplied into the Taiyu Holy Sect through a very secret channel, and finally fell into the hands of the disciples in the Six Mountains and Three Realms, which could comprehensively improve the background and combat power of these disciples.


    These demon generals were aware of the tricks, so they dared to go out in search of these "pills" so boldly. Most of the pills needed in the Qingluan Mountains were for the demon spirits and ghosts. For the nineteen ancient cities and many mountain ranges, even if some creatures in the Yuanyan realm were ingested as alchemy materials, the Taiyu Holy Sect would turn a blind eye to it, so it was impossible for them to intervene.


    Boom!


    The bell chimes rang loudly throughout the mountains. It no longer had any trace of resentment or hostility.


    Ji Yuenian was surrounded by a pitch-black ghostly aura. Staying on the edge of the Heavenly Furnace Barrier, he faintly heard the melodious bell chimes.


    The Heavenly Furnace Barrier could only suppress demon spirits and ghosts, but couldn''t stop human beings.


    As the ghostly air flowed, it transformed into the incomparably pure Xuan energy again. Ji Yuenian stepped out and walked directly into the Heavenly Furnace Barrier that was like a heavenly moat to the rest of the living beings.


    After entering the Heavenly Furnace Barrier, the Xuan energy around him disappeared again, and under his order, the black ghostly energy swept out, completely covering his figure and appearance.


    The difference from Zhao Xiaoyun was: Ji Yuenian used to transform his Xuan Qi was the Yin Qi of heaven and earth, and not ordinary ghost energy.


    It was just that the Yin Qi of heaven and earth that flew through the meridians was too frightening. Only when Ji Yuenian diluted the Yin Qi by hundreds of times, turning all of them into pitch-black Ghost Qi, it made compete with an ordinary entering ghosts in the Xuan Realm.


    Even though the Yin Qi of the world had been reduced to this point, the intensity of the diluted Ghost Qi was still beyond Ji Yuenian''s expectations. Such a rich and pure ghost energy could be regarded as the most superior resource even among real ghosts.


    "You ¡­ Where are you from, newborn ghost?"


    A somewhat surprised voice came to his ears.


    Ji Yuenian looked up, and a girl with black hair that fell to her waist appeared dumbfounded and stared at him in a daze.


    Looking around, the mountain and forest scenery here was vaguely familiar. It was not too far from the place where the mountain ghost Qingyan and the wolf demon Mo Yuan fought a long time ago.


    Seeing that Ji Yuenian hadn''t spoken, the girl showed annoyance in her eyes, and said, "Quickly tell the truth, this is my territory, if you ..."


    Before her words fell, Ji Yuenian interrupted her directly, and said, "Do you know Mo Yuan, the wolf demon?"


    The girl froze for a moment, frowned and thought about it for a while, then she tentatively said, "I heard people say that Lord Nightmare indeed killed a wolf demon here before I transformed into a human being. I don''t know if this demon is the one you mentioned. Wolf demon?"


    Ji Yuenian took a look at her and sensed the Ghost Qi in her body, which indicated she was at the initial stage of the Xuan Realm, so he confirmed that this ghost had just been transformed, and she probably didn''t even know where the Qingluan Mountains were.


    While the two were talking, dozens of extremely terrifying auras rushed through the air from the top of the main peak of the Qingluan Mountains, and within a few breaths, they reached the edge of the Heavenly Furnace Barrier, volleying from the extreme sky.


    Standing there, a terrifying aura swept across all directions, alarming the demon spirits and ghosts in the vicinity.


    Following the girl''s gaze, Ji Yuenian looked up, and what came into view were four majestic armored generals. Behind these four were dozens of creatures of various races who were at True Dao Realm, and almost 80% of them were demons.


    The girl subconsciously crouched down and stammered, "It''s ¡­ it''s a demon ¡­ Young Master Demon General!"


    "Even if you put your body on the ground, they won''t look down at you," Ji Yuenian''s heart moved slightly. It seemed that this woman knew something about the Qingluan Mountain Range. "What kind of positions are these four demon generals in the Qingluan Mountain Range?"


    At that time, he was surrounded by a strong and pure Ghost Qi. The girl only thought that he was a ghost in the Xuan Realm, and she didn''t take any precautions. Instead, she was a little surprised. "Even if you were born at the Xuan Realm, but this place is ruled by Lord Nightmare, hasn''t he told you about the Demon General?"


    Ji Yuenian shook his head slightly.


    "There are four demon generals patrolling the Qingluan Mountains, all of whom have terrifying cultivation bases in the True Dao Realm. Even Lord Nightmare, who is also in the True Dao Realm, is not an enemy of the Lord Demon General."


    There were many ghosts in the Qingluan Mountains, most of them were no different from casual cultivators in the wilderness, and they could only fight with some techniques in their original memory, which could be described as extremely weak.


    Just like the talented disciples and ordinary disciples of the Taiyu Holy Sect, even though they were both in the True Dao Realm, the talented disciples holding the top-grade spiritual weapon could easily crush ten or even twenty ordinary disciples.


    The same was true within the Qingluan Mountains. Although the four great demon generals and the nightmare ghosts were both in the True Dao Realm, the techniques cultivated by the demon generals and the spiritual weapons used were far from comparable to those of the nightmare ghosts. The nightmare ghosts on the west side of the Luan Mountains had no resistance at all in front of them.


    Not to mention the Wolf Demon Mo Yuan, although he had the cultivation base of True Dao Realm, he was deprived of all techniques and spells long after he became an alchemy material, and there were only a few demon spells in his original memory. Except for the tyrannical outstanding true wolf demon body itself, his real combat power was no different from the wilderness casual cultivator in the True Dao Realm.


    In the basic realm of spiritual cultivation, creatures with spiritual treasures could crush creatures that had never possessed one. Except for some extremely special circumstances, there was no chance of a single fluke.


    In this vast and endless Northern Lu Continent, there had never been any so-called fairness at all.


    Bloodlines and talents were important, but techniques and pills couldn''t be ignored.


    Although these were foreign objects, they could significantly increase the combat power of creatures, and even enable creatures to display terrifying strength beyond their original realm. It was also extremely important as a cultivation resource.

 Ch. 90 - Nightmare Ghost

    In just half a stick of incense, Ji Yuenian learned many things about the Qingluan Mountain Range from this newborn ghost. Among which he was most concerned about the fact that the four great demons brought many souls with Sure Dao Realm cultivation base after leaving the Furnace Barrier."Do you know what they are doing?"


    Ji Yuenian looked up at the light gate emerging from the barrier of the Heavenly Furnace, and asked softly.


    The girl shook her head, with a hint of shock remaining in her eyes. She murmured, "Since I was born, I have never seen any Lord Demon General leave the Qingluan Mountains. With so many subordinates leaving the Heavenly Furnace Barrier, I don¡¯t know what big thing will happen.¡±


    At that time, many tyrannical figures above the extreme sky had left the Qingluan Mountains one after another, and the light gate on the barrier gradually shrank, and finally completely disappeared into the void.


    "Who are you!?"


    The gloomy voice came to his ears, and Ji Yuenian looked sideways, and a dark ghostly aura condensed out, turning into a gloomy young man in black, with a cold light in his eyes.


    "Master Nightmare!"


    The girl fell to the ground stammeringly, with a lot of panic in her tone.


    Although she didn''t know Ji Yuenian, she didn''t think much about it. She just regarded him as a ghost just like herself, just a newly born ghost. But at that moment, the Nightmare Ghost suddenly appeared here, with an even more unfriendly expression, which clearly showed that this handsome young man was not a creature in the Qingluan Mountain Range at all.


    Ji Yuenian faced the nightmare ghost, but his aura never faltered. He said softly, "I''m here to look for the Wolf Demon Mo Yuan who lives here."


    "How can a weak little ghost enter the Qingluan Mountains through the Heavenly Furnace Barrier?" Between the fingers of the Nightmare Ghost, a pitch-black light ball appeared which exuded a fierce aura. "Let me ask you again, who are you?"


    Although the Nightmare Ghost was also an alchemical material, because of his cultivation level in the True Dao Realm, he was ordered to take charge of the affairs on the west side of the Qingluan Mountains, so he was very familiar with the ghosts and creatures in it. With Ji Yuenian''s body being filled with extremely pure Ghost Qi, he had entered the northwest corner of the Qingluan Mountains very abruptly, prompting him to fall into the range of the nightmare ghost.


    It would be fine if ordinary people strayed into the mountain range, and the nightmare ghost would not care about it at all, but Ji Yuenian passed through the barrier as a ghost of the Xuan Realm, which was enough to make the nightmare ghost inexplicably horrified.


    "I''ve already said it." Ji Yuenian shook his head. "I came here to hunt for the Wolf Demon Mo Yuan. If this demon has died, then I will leave immediately."


    "Ant in the Xuan Realm dares to think Qingluan Mountains is a place where you can come and go as you please?" Lord Nightmare Ghost''s voice became even colder, "Forget it, I will strip your soul and explore the memories in it carefully. Presumably, I will be able to find the way you passed through the Heavenly Furnace Barrier."


    After saying this, the nightmare ghost directly crushed the pitch-black ball of light in his hand.


    Countless black lights escaped from it, and accompanied by the shrill howls of ghosts, dozens of dark translucent lights and shadows swept towards Ji Yuenian.


    Although the Nightmare Ghost never paid much attention to Ji Yuenian, who was at the Upper Realm of Xuan Realm, this casual blow had a terrifying power that could rival a powerhouse of the Upper stage of the True Dao Realm.


    Ji Yuenian frowned slightly, and made a seal with both hands. An azure lotus shield bloomed around him, which was able to block the crazy invasion of these translucent black shadows.


    It was "Qingmu Zhuanling Zhenju" that was specially designed for protection. It was activated by the pshyic karmic fire phantom in his soul, and it was even more terrifyingly enchanted by the Tong Xuan bloodline power. It allowed the basic spell to block the attack comparable to the Late Stage of True Dao Realm.


    Nightmare Ghost was slightly startled. He was very aware of the power of those translucent ghosts. Dozens of ghosts were enough to crush ordinary creatures in the Late Stage of True Dao Realm directly, but a ghost in the Late Stage of Xuan Realm had blocked them so easily.


    What surprised him the most was that this ghost could actually cast spells.


    Ordinary ghosts had very simple spells. They only a few basic Spiritual spells in the original memory, but the defensive spell used by this ghost in the Late Stage of Xuan Realm was very powerful, and it was obviously a very high grade spell.


    "Who the hell are you? If you tell the truth now, I can consider letting you live." The Nightmare Ghost stood quietly in the sky tens of meters high, and the hostility in his words had dissipated a lot.


    Ghosts that could possess high grade spells were very likely to have Elders behind them. Although many forces in the Qingluan Mountains and the Yuanyan Realm had almost never interacted with each other, the Nightmare Ghost did not want to provoke a strong enemy for no reason.


    If there really was an extremely powerful master of the Sect behind this ghost, it was afraid that a few monster generals would suppress and capture him without even thinking about it, and send it to the enemy to be dealt with.


    Bailu Yaojun and Taiyu Holy Sect had an agreement. The creatures in the Qingluan Mountains must not leave the barrier of the Heavenly Furnace, let alone cause trouble in the Yuanyan Realm. Although there were many loopholes that could be exploited, the Nightmare Ghost did not dare to take the risk. S?a?ch* Th?

    "You said just now that there are only four demon generals in Qingluan Mountains, right?" Ji Yuenian didn''t respond to the nightmare ghost, but looked sideways at the ghost girl and asked softly.


    The girl was a little at a loss. She nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes."


    "So there are no more demon generals in the Qingluan Mountains now." Ji Yuenian looked up at the Nightmare Ghost, and there were dots of bright blue stars emerging in his eyes.


    The Nightmare Ghost naturally understood Ji Yuenian''s gaze, and under rage, the momentum of the Late Stage of True Dao Realm swept out in all directions like Tsunami, and he said coldly, "You are brave, ant. I no longer wish to bother with you. I asked you how you entered the Qingluan Mountains, but you actually want to attack me?"


    In his opinion, it was naturally impossible for a mere ghost in the Late Stage of Xuan Realm to break through the barrier of the Heavenly Furnace. The only explanation was that it had a precious spiritual weapon that could pass through the barrier.


    Although Nightmare Ghost wanted to escape from Qingluan Mountains in his dreams, his rationality told him that even if he escaped from the Heavenly Furnace Barrier by chance, several demon generals could still find his aura and kill him, so Nightmare Ghost did not escape at all. It appeared that Ji Yuenian''s teacher had a strong background, so he planned to let him go directly.


    But to his shock and anger, Ji Yuenian looked at him with murderous intent, which greatly insulted Nightmare Ghost.


    The Late Stage of Xuan Realm tyrannically surpassed a powerhouse in the Late Stage of True Dao Realm, how absurd that was? In fact, he was only one step away from the incomparably mysterious Divine Sea Realm.


    This ghost with a mere cultivation at the Late Stage of Xuan Realm, had showed such a gaze at a creature of the Late Stage of True Dao Realm. Even if the nightmare ghost restrained his emotions, he could no longer hold back, and immediately put his hands together. His claw turned into a black smoke and shot straight towards Ji Yuenian.


    Ji Yuenian held the Ebony Sword and slashed. The bright white sword light flew and turned into a shield that defended his front.


    Boom!

 Ch. 91 - Sword Light, Broken Body, and a Green Feather Falling

    The sword shield seemed powerless to resist, and was directlygrabbed by the ghost''s claws and shattered into pieces. Amidst the lingering white light, the nightmare ghost suddenly frowned.


    Ji Yuenian had disappeared at some point. Within his divine sense range, a brilliant force came to suppress him from a height of tens of feet!


    "Suppress."


    Ji Yuenian stepped on the phantom of a huge picture scroll more than ten feet long, and when his sleeves flipped, the power of immeasurable mountains and rivers emerged from the picture scroll, completely sealing off the energy of the world for several miles!


    The ultimate spiritual weapon, Liangyi Mountains and Rivers Scroll!


    But, Mr. Nightmare was not an ordinary creature in the Late Stage of True Dao Realm, he was only one step away from the Divine Sea Realm. With a cold snort, his whole body dissipated into a pitch-black mist. It passed through the suppression, and ruthlessly bombarded the ground at the northwest corner of the Qingluan Mountains.


    Boom!


    A meteor crater with a radius of tens of feet appeared on the spot, and the black mist condensed, revealing his figure, and his eyes shone with newfound seriousness while looking at Ji Yuenian.


    How precious was the top-grade spiritual treasure, and the effect of this scroll of mountains and rivers was extremely comprehensive. To be able to possess such a treasure in the Xuan Realm, the identity of this child must be extremely amazing!


    "Master Nightmare, what happened that made you so angry?"


    A pleasant female voice came from tens of feet away. A woman in a dark blue robe looked puzzled. She was staring blankly at the newly-appeared large crater.


    It turned out to be a demon who was at True Dao Realm.


    Before the Nightmare Ghost could open his mouth, the woman in blue robes had already discovered Ji Yuenian above the Liangyi Mountains and Rivers Map. Thinking that she had a plan, she pointed at Ji Yuenian and scolded, "Presumptuous, how dare you offend Lord Nightmare, today I will crush you to ashes!"


    Ji Yuenian''s gaze chilled a little, and with a slight motion, the Ebony Sword appeared in his hand. Under the blessing of the Great Compassion Mantra, the edge of the wooden sword shone with white sword light which had a touch of gold, and it slashed straight at the female demon.


    The sword light swept across, and the woman in the blue robe was beheaded. Under the activation of Great Compassion Mantra, even her true spirit was destroyed layer by layer.


    This woman saw that Ji Yuenian had low cultivation base, so she dared to speak out, but she never thought that Ji Yuenian would be so terrifying, and a sword light killed her directly.


    The movement here was so great that it had already disturbed most of the Qingluan Mountains. Countless ghosts gathered there, and some of them were extremely tyrannical with Late Stage of True Dao Realm cultivation base.


    Sensing faint noises coming from all directions, Ji Yuenian frowned slightly. This was also the reason he didn''t want to confront the Nightmare Ghost.


    The Qingluan Mountain Range was with many secrets, so it was not suitable to stay here for a long time. Although several terrifying demon generals had left the Heavenly Barrier, many demon spirits and ghosts who were alchemy materials who couldn''t be underestimated at all.


    Although these creatures had been robbed of their magic treasures and memories, the suppression of the realm still existed.


    If there was only one Late Stage True Dao Realm powerhouse, Ji Yuenian might not be afraid, but if numerous took action together, there was only one way to escape.


    "Nightmare, what happened here?"


    A deep voice echoed, and a young man clad in armor walked over with several ghosts at the True Dao Realm behind him. His eyes kept darting back and forth between Nightmare Ghost and Ji Yuenian.


    They were not stupid like that demon girl, they had already recognized that the scroll under Ji Yuenian''s feet was a top-quality spiritual weapon, and they even saw the huge crater with a circumference of nearly a hundred feet above the ground. They all showed shock and surprise.


    "Why are you arguing? You won''t let me practice anymore?"


    More than a dozen figures came from the sky, and the leader was a big man in common clothes, who was yawning non-stop at this moment.


    It was another True Dao Realm powerhouse.


    With the noise gradually rising, in just half a stick of incense time, there were already five more creatures at the True Dao Realm. Dozens of demons and ghosts, and hundreds of weaker ones at the Xuan Realm had surrounded him from a distance of ten feet away.


    Although these demon spirits and ghosts were all now trash, their realm had never fallen. At that time, they all looked at Ji Yuenian, forming an extremely terrifying imposing power, which had even been faintly condensed. The essence was lost, and he was imprisoned tightly in place, unable to move.


    The Nightmare Ghost had already made a big fuss, and he clasped his hands towards the other Late Stage of True Dao Realm powerhouses, and said, "This kid trespassed in the Qingluan Mountains, and I was about to capture him just now."


    The big man in the commoner clothes sneered, and said, "Just kill it, why bother to capture it?"


    Nightmare Ghost was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "Didn''t you realize that this kid is a ghost? A ghost that can pass through the Heavenly Furnace Barrier with all his treasures. His background must be extremely amazing, and it may even be related to the Yuanyan Realm''s supreme power, Taiyu Holy Sect. If I kill him so casually, and the Elders find his trail, who will bear the responsibility?"


    With the comprehensive strength of the Qingluan Mountains, it could be regarded as the overlord even in the entire Yuanyan Realm, but its nature was not a force, but just an alchemy furnace, and ghosts in it were just pills.


    These demon spirits and ghosts were captured by the Bailu Yaojun, lost their spiritual techniques and weapons, and struggled to survive within the Qingluan Mountains. The only thing they thought about every day was to rack their brains so that they would not be taken as alchemical materials next time.


    Nightmare Ghost had a cultivation base at the Late Stage of the True Dao Realm, and could temporarily be exempted from the fate of being taken as a pill. On behalf of several demon generals, he would take care of one side. Even when the Wolf Demon Mo Yuan was fighting with the mountain ghost Qingyan, the Nightmare Ghost just watched coldly in the dark, and only appeared after the dust settled, which was enough to show his cautious nature.


    The big man in commoner clothes was not stupid. He was left speechless by the Nightmare Ghost.


    "It''s really ridiculous, you cowards," an armored youth sneered, and looked at Ji Yuenian with killing intent. "This kid actually has a treasure that can pass through the Heavenly Furnace Barrier. My opportunity to escape. I will personally suppress it, and take advantage of the absence of the demon generals, use this treasure to leave this cage!"


    As soon as these words came out, countless demon spirits and ghosts were ready to move, and their greedy eyes all looked at Ji Yuenian.


    A sneer appeared at the corner of the armored young man''s mouth, and he took half a step back calmly.


    As a creature at the Late Stage of True Dao Realm, he was naturally not a fool. He knew very clearly that what really trapped them was not the superficial barrier of the furnace, but the high and irresistible Egret Monarch.


    These ordinary ghosts couldn''t figure it out at all. At that time, under the deliberate instigation of the armored youth, many ghosts in the True Dao Realm were already moved, and their gazes towards Ji Yuenian were full of greed and killing intent.


    If they could kill this kid first and hold the treasure in their hands, they could directly leave the Heavenly Furnace Barrier surrounding the Qingluan Mountains. Once they broke free from the shackles here, they would be able to hide in this vast world!


    "The treasure belongs to me, I want to leave this ghastly place!" S?a?ch* Th? ??v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    A tiger demon who was only a few tens of feet away from Ji Yuenian had red eyes, and he had claws in his hands. Under the surge of demon power, he directly rushed towards Ji Yuenian!


    At the same time, several unsteady spirits and ghosts attacked Ji Yuenian with all their strength!

 Ch. 92 - Raccoon on the Hill

    The pitch-black wind howled, and the young man''s dark black moon robe danced wildly. His expression was cold while looking at the several demons rushing towards him. The Edict Spirit Ebony Sword in his hand was already activated to the extreme, and the bright white sword light shot out like a rainbow!Boom!


    These True Dao Realm attackers without spiritual techniques and weapons were very weak. They had almost no resistance under the horizontal slash of the spiritual weapon imbued with the Great Compassion Mantra, and their bodies were directly chopped into pieces by the sword light. The golden light drowned their true spirits, causing their soul and true spirit to shatter.


    At that time, the Ebony Sword had turned into a snow-white color, and the bloodline power on it had become more and more intense. Obviously, there had been changes in the ancient city of Taichu, and the remaining blood of the Ji family in Anyang had once again decreased sharply.


    "This kid is only at the Late Stage of the Xuan Realm. Now that he is using the powerful sword art one after another, the Xuan energy in his Xuan sea must have been exhausted, and he can no longer activate the spiritual weapon!" The armored youth showed a sneer, and said loudly.


    As soon as these words came out, more demon spirits and ghosts couldn''t hold back any longer, and rushed towards Ji Yuenian with all their might.


    From their point of view, Ji Yuenian''s trump cards had been exhausted by those idiots just now. If they made a move at this time, it was very likely that they would grab the spiritual weapon that could allow them to leave the barrier of the Heavenly Furnace.


    The Nightmare Ghost had calmed down at that moment, and shook his head slightly. Looking around, he inadvertently saw that the big man in the cloth clothes was also moved, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Yan Yue, what are you going to do?"


    The clothed man glanced at him, and said: "Yan Gui, Mr. Chu is cultivating in the ancient temple, and he will not inspect the affairs of the mountains. Few demon generals are not in the mountains. If we leave the barrier, far away from Yuanyan Land, can you ..."


    "Absolutely not!" Nightmare Ghost shuddered subconsciously, shaking his head firmly. "Although Lord Yaojun has never set any restrictions on us, the boundary of Yuanyan Realm is always there. The disciples of the Taiyu Holy Sect are on patrol, and there is no way for us to leave!"


    Although the man clothed like a commoner was in the Late Stage of True Dao Realm, he didn''t know the complicated relationship between the Taiyu Holy Sect and the Qingluan Mountains. He asked doubtfully, "So what about the Taiyu Holy Sect patrolling the border? They wouldn¡¯t let the creatures go out of the realm?"


    Nightmare Ghost sighed, and said: "Yan Yue, listen to me, don''t have such thoughts, stay at Qingluan Mountains and do things for Lord Yaojun. If you perform well, you will never be included in the list of alchemy materials."


    The young man in armor came over, looked at the big man in disdain, and said: "You were taken to the Qingluan Mountains for decades, but you didn''t even know about it. It''s really ridiculous. Let me tell you the truth. The Qingluan Mountains and the Taiyu Holy Sect are of the same breed, even if you can escape the barrier of the Heavenly Furnace, it is absolutely impossible to escape the Yuanyan Realm."


    The big man in commoner clothes was even more puzzled, and said, "Then what you said just now..."


    The young man in armor said flatly: "I just think this kind of caged life is too boring, I just wanted to have fun. If I really want that treasure that can pass through the barrier, I won''t talk nonsense at all, but I will have already taken action to kill him."


    While the few people were talking, there was a loud roar coming from hundreds of meters away!


    Boom!


    A seal with a size of more than ten feet pressed down horizontally, directly crushing several ghosts in the True Dao Realm into a pitch-black mist!


    The spiritual weapon, Body Seal!


    His beautiful face was a little pale, but there was no trace of fear in his eyes. In just a few tens of breaths, he had already killed more than a dozen creatures in the True Dao Realm. The most frightening thing was that, under the invisible absorption of the psychic karma fire, his Xuan Qi in the Divine Sea had not decreased but increased, becoming richer and deeper, and even the power of his soul had increased a little.


    The mystery of the psychic karma fire couldn''t be expressed in words, which is why this could never be shown to people.


    "The farce should be over."


    The armored young man shook his head, waved away those demon spirits, and looked at Ji Yuenian with a flat gaze. "Tell the truth about your origin, or we will arrest you, and let the demon general deal with you after he comes back."


    Ji Yuenian''s expression was inexplicable. He took away the Seal and Edict Ebony Sword, and said with a smile, "You really want to know my origin?"


    In the memory of Zhao Yinyue''s true spirit, Ji Yuenian already knew the complicated relationship between Qingluan Mountain Range and Taiyu Holy Sect, so he didn''t have to worry over much when he had come looking for the Wolf Demon Mo Yuan.


    Seeing that Ji Yuenian''s reaction was still placid, the Armored Youth and Nightmare Ghost looked at each other, and they all had some guesses in their hearts. They couldn''t help secretly glad that they hadn¡¯t acted recklessly.


    While waving his sleeves, Ji Yuenian took out a token and said, "This is my origin."


    The whole body of the token was crystal clear and white, with a towering mountain peak depicted on the front, and six small characters engraved on the back.


    The main hall of Eclipse Moon Peak.


    The clothed man looked hesitant. He was still thinking about the nearby power named Eclipse Moon Peak, but the armored young man¡¯s expression had already changed, and he said in a deep voice, ¡°Dare I ask Young Master, is this Eclipse Moon Peak a mountain within the Taiyu Holy Sect? ?¡±


    Ji Yuenian nodded, and said, "The Outer Sect of Taiyu Holy Sect, Luoxia Mountain Range, Eclipse Moon Peak."


    The armored youth stared at Ji Yuenian, and said word by word, "But as far as I know, the Taiyu Holy Sect never recruits ghosts."


    "When did I say that I''m a ghost?" While smiling young, Ji Yuenian revealed a black light from his sleeve, exuding an incomparably thick and pure ghostly aura.


    After the black light left his body, the Ghost Qi around Ji Yuenian''s body disappeared, and the Xuan energy circulated in his meridians, exuding a faint azure light.


    The Nightmare Ghost looked at the black light and murmured, "It turned out to be the extremely precious essence of Yin Qi from heaven and earth. With this thing in your body, it''s really not difficult to pretend to be a ghost."


    The doubts in the eyes of the young man in armor disappeared, his expression eased a lot, and he said, "Young Master is originally from the human race, so it is no problem to pass through the barrier of the Heavenly Furnace. Lord Yaojun personally set it up. What grade of treasure would it take to allow a ghost in the Late Stage of Xuan Realm to pass through the barrier?"


    Ji Yuenian dispelled the curse of shedding ghosts, put away the Yin essence of heaven and earth condensed in his hands, and clasped his hands towards the Late Stage, True Dao Realm powerhouse, and said, "I came to Qingluan Mountains with the purpose of finding a Wolf Demon named Mo Yuan." s?a??h th?

    The Nightmare Ghost laughed and said, "Young Master, you came too late. I already have killed that wolf demon, and his soul has escaped.¡±


    Boom!


    Suddenly, a deafening bell sounded throughout the world.


    "What happened in the mountains?" Chu Yuehe''s plain voice came from the ancient temple.


    Several people at the True Dao Realm looked at each other, knowing that Chu Yuehe had just finished his cultivation, and saw the scene of ghosts gathering here through the monitor.


    The young man in armor respectfully bowed in the direction of the ancient temple, and said, "I report to you, Mr. Chu, that there is nothing serious. It''s just a disciple of the Taiyu Holy Sect who came to look for an old friend."


    There was a slight change in Chu Yuehe''s tone, and he said, "A disciple of the Taiyu Holy Sect ¡­ Bring him to the temple.¡±


    The armored youth glanced sideways at Ji Yuenian, then turned towards the ancient temple and said respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Chu."

 Ch. 93 - Gods Curse

    Another bell rang through the Qingluan Mountains, and the direction of the ancient temple on the top of the main peak gradually fell silent. The armored youth stretched out his hand towards Ji Yuenian and said, "Young master, please."An air bridge about several feet wide spread under Ji Yuenian.


    Ji Yuenian pondered for a moment, then walked straight up the air bridge, and to the side of the armored youth.


    The bridge rose higher and higher, heading towards the direction of the ancient temple.


    The Nightmare Ghost, and the others looked at each other for a while, confusion evident in their gazes.


    In a corner where no one was paying attention, a pretty and smart girl was staring blankly at the direction where Ji Yuenian left, and murmured: "So you are not a ghost at all."


    While talking to herself, there was already a little blush on her cheeks.


    Since she was born, she had come into contact with very few creatures. This was the first time she had seen such a good-looking young man. Thinking of the conversation between the two just now, she couldn''t help feeling a bit of unknown expectations.


    ¡­


    Taichu Inner City, Anyang City.


    "Ji Bugui has seen the Land God Shen Xue."


    Dozens of members of the Ji family, headed by the head of the Ji family, Ji Bugui, looked pale, and respectfully saluted the snow-white figure above the extreme sky, not daring to be disrespectful in their actions.


    The land god of Taichu had passed away, and there was a new god of heaven and earth within the thousands of miles of the ancient city of Taichu, whose name was Shen Xue.


    Although she had obtained the position of God of Righteousness, there were many more shackles and restrictions on Shen Xue. For example ¡­ she couldn''t attack the native creatures within the territory of the ancient city of Taichu.


    They didn''t know how many years ago, the Thirty-Three Heavenly Court sent Emperor Zhenwu to clear Northern Lu Continent and bring it under control, in order to pass on Daoism, educate the living beings, and obtain merit and karma.


    The human race was the easiest race to cultivate, and it was an important source of merit and fortune in the Thirty-Three Heavenly Court, which was highly valued.


    Therefore, the innumerable gods of heaven and earth of all ranks in the Northern Lu Continent had the responsibility to protect the human race. Like this, if the lowest gods of the mountains and the land dared to move into the territory for no reason, and attacked the human beings, the divine power would be reduced at the slightest, and the divine seal would perish along with the divine body.


    "There''s no need to be so afraid. I am not Ji Quexue from the Ji family. I just borrowed her body before." Shen Xue, the incarnation of the God of the Earth, was dressed in white clothes and stood quietly in the extreme sky. Her eyes were slightly playful.


    Ji Bugui became more courageous, took a step forward and said, "May I ask Shen Xue, God of the Earth, why has she came to Anyang City in this incarnation?" S~?a??h the N?velF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Shen Xue looked down at the messy city of Anyang, shook her head and said, "When I was not on the throne as a God, I deliberately killed people for the tempering of the "God Gathering Blood Curse". I have been in charge of the Fangzheng Ninth Grade God Seal, and this karma is naturally on my back."


    The Third Elder, Ji Luoyang saluted, and said, "What do you mean by these words?"


    The girl in white clothes glanced at him lightly, and said, "Karma is almost useless to you and other ants, but it is extremely important to the gods of heaven and earth. I used the blood of the Ji family to obtain the divine seal. This karma must be repaid, otherwise my god rank will stop here, and there will be no chance for me to promote myself anymore."


    Ji Bugui and Ji Luoyang looked at each other! At a glance, they still appeared confused.


    Sighing slightly, Shen Xue¡¯s veil sleeve flicked lightly, and a divine power spell condensed out, slowly landing in front of Ji Bugui and others in Anyang City.


    "This magic spell is the result of my using 30% of my divine power, which is enough to pay off the karma between me and Ji''s family."


    With the magic spell fully formed, Shen Xue''s figure of an Earth God also slowly dissipated and disappeared into the vast and endless space between heaven and earth.


    Ji Bugui looked at the snow-white spell floating in front of him, and was at a loss for a while.


    "The position of the guardian deity in the ancient city of Taichu has changed, but I don''t know where the Eldest Son, Ji Yuenian is now?" Ji Luoyang''s eyes were blank, and his mind was in chaos.


    The Ji family had suffered shocking changes one after another. Now only a few dozen descendants of the thousands of clansmen were left. Even the business in the outer city and many other industries had no one to protect them. They were stolen or robbed by others. Now, Ji''s property has shrunk to a completely unacceptable level.


    The rest of the big cultivation families knew Ji Yuenian''s current status in the Luoxia Mountains, and they didn''t dare to really suppress the Ji family, but they also took advantage of it secretly, and divided up many resources one after another.


    Ji Bugui half-kneeled on the ground, with some glint in his eyes, he said to himself, "His Excellency has trusted me and appointed me as the head of the Ji family, but the Ji family is being slaughtered and bullied now. So far, I have felt disappointed the Eldest Son. All of this is my fault."


    Xu Jianghe stood behind Ji Luoyang, but his eyes had been staring at the floating magic spell exuding snow-white light. At that moment, Ji Bugui was kneeling on the ground and he lacked the poise that the head of a family should have and take responsibility. He already had the intention of leaving in his heart.


    He was not of the Ji family''s blood, and had no affection for the Ji family from the beginning to the end. Even if he left, he would not have any psychological burden.


    Ji Luoyang was the only member of the Ji family who was in the True Dao Realm. He reached out to take the snow-white magic spell, and he just about to speak when a loud shout that rang in his ears.


    "Ji Luoyang!"


    Ji Luoyang panicked for a moment, and Xu Jianghe jumped up, snatched the snow-white magic spell, and rushed towards the outside of Anyang city.


    "You dare!"


    Ji Luoyang was filled with shame and anger. As a creature of the True Dao Realm, it was a great shame and humiliation to be robbed by ordinary people.


    As soon as the words fell, the Heart Fire within his soul was blazing, and a wave of Xuan energy rolled out. Stretching his hand, he set the arrow on the bow, and it rushed towards the running Xu Jianghe.


    Flutter.


    The arrow penetrated Xu Jianghe''s left shoulder, cutting a massive chunk of his flesh.


    Xu Jianghe gritted his teeth, but did not stop in his footsteps. He laughed loudly and said, "Ji Luoyang, I have already figured you out. The arrow is your limit, what can you do to me now?"


    Blood flowed across his left shoulder. Xu Jianghe endured the heart-piercing pain, and left Anyang City within a few breaths.


    Ji Luoyang was furious, his eyes were red, and he wanted to use his Xuan Qi to turn it into an arrow, but he was extremely embarrassed to find that the Xuan Qi stored in his soul was not enough to condense another arrow. Zhou Fanyong''s aura also stagnated, and gradually returned to silence.


    After this change, Ji Bugui and the remaining dozens of Ji family members were dumbfounded. They all looked at the gate of Anyang City, and then slowly turned their gazes back to Ji Luoyang, who was still stretching his bow and setting an arrow. They were simply speechless.

 Ch. 94 - Psychic

    Luoxia Mountains, Luozhong Mountain.Yuan Jian stood in the ruins of Daoyan Temple, looking up at the top of Luozhong Mountain which was encompassed in black mist, there was also a trace of haze emerging between his brows.


    Once Daoyan Temple was destroyed, Luozhong Mountain, whose vitality had soared, had no owner. Yuan Jian, as the only living being in the Late Stage of True Dao Realm within a radius of tens of miles, would naturally not let go of this mountain that had activated Yuanyin Spirit Gathering Forbidden Formation.


    But, at the foot of Luozhong Mountain, Yuan Jian could barely notice that the top of Luozhong Mountain was completely covered by a strong ghostly aura, and there was even a faintly terrifying aura emanating from it. Everyone''s cultivation trembled a little upon inching closer to the mountaintop.


    Flipping the palm of his hand, a blazing red spear came out, with a tyrannical demonic aura rising from it. The demonic power surging around Yuan Jian also became fierce.


    Yuan Jian was different from the Late Stage True Dao Realm weak demons in the Qingluan Mountains. He had not been deprived of any spiritual techniques and weapons. He was an old powerhouse who had accumulated demon origin spiritual weapons in his possession, and his real combat power was extremely terrifying.


    Under the shining crimson demon light, Yuan Jian took the long spear and stepped out, turning into a blazing red light curtain and sped towards the top of Luozhong Mountain.


    Luozhong Mountain was too tempting. Even if the other party was very likely to be a ghost at Late Stage of True Dao Realm, Yuan Jian was not willing to give up at all!


    The blazing red light curtain covered the sky, and slowly fell on the top of Luozhong Mountain. Yuan Jian''s figure appeared in it, but what surprised him was that although the top of the mountain was still filled with billowing black mist.


    The terrifying aura was nowhere to be seen.


    "Luozhong Mountain is my territory. Dare I ask which fellow Daoist has come here, and doesn¡¯t even bother to say hello to me?" Yuan Jian said in a loud voice, and his demonic power was sensing the aura from all directions at all times.


    But, there was no response.


    Tightening the spear in his hand, Yuan Jian walked towards the center of the black mist.


    At the edge of the Luoxia Mountain Range, there was no way that there would be any creatures at the Late Stage of True Dao Realm. As a long-standing old demon in the True Dao Realm, apart from the disciples of the Taiyu Holy Sect, Yuan Jian had nothing to fear.


    Through these years of practicing in Luoxia Mountains, Yuan Jian even found a way not to be selected as a target by Shan Wufeng, that was, not to teach Daoism, not to accept disciples, and to keep moving locations. It was impossible to be included in the mission of the sect by Shan Wufeng, and one could enjoy the convenience of cultivation brought by the Luoxia with great peace of mind.


    After walking tens of feet away, Yuan Jian stopped, stared at the black-clothed boy who looked like a pool of stagnant water in amazement, and even his voice trembled a little, "Young ¡­ Young Master?"


    The appearance of this boy in black was exactly the same as that of the disciple that led the Taiyu Holy Sect team who destroyed the Daoyan Temple!


    It was just that the head disciple''s eyebrows and eyes were completely cold. Although the black-clothed boy in front of him was extremely good-looking, his eyes are extremely dull, as if he had no wisdom at all.


    The young man in black slowly raised his head, and pointed at Yuan Jian. A jet of black light came out and bound towards Yuan Jian.


    Yuan Jian came back to his senses, swept the spear obliquely in his hand, and the crimson demonic light swirled and completely annihilated the black light belt. He said, "I have already offered a generous gift for the matter of Daoyan Temple, don''t you think it is enough, Young Master?"


    Although he was very puzzled in his heart, as to why this disciple of Taiyu Holy Sect was acting so strangely? But, now the most important thing to find out was whether he had touched one of the taboos of Taiyu Holy Sect.


    At the same time, within the ancient temple in the Qingluan Mountains.


    Sitting upright on the futon, Ji Yuenian felt an induction from the phantom of the psychic karma fire in his soul, which made him startled slightly.


    "Is it because this spirit tea is so bad that my junior is not used to drinking it?" The handsome young man sitting at the top noticed Ji Yuenian''s abnormality and asked with a smile.


    Ji Yuenian shook his head, and said, "Senior Brother Chu''s spirit tea is too precious, I''m a little flattered."


    Chu Yuehe''s eyes were a little playful, and he lowered his voice, and said, "I have heard about the Eclipse Saintess of the Taiyu Holy Sect for a long time, and I heard that her face is as clear and beautiful as a fairy."


    "After the Master arrives, maybe I will ask Master to act as a matchmaker and marry me this girl as a concubine for fun."


    Ji Yuenian''s revealed identity came from the main hall of Eclipse Moon Peak in Luoxia Mountains, but Chu Yuehe roughly knew about Eclipse Moon Saintess and had some thoughts about her.


    "I heard that Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden of Eclipse is a bit cocky, Senior Brother Chu is really brave." Ji Yuenian looked a little strange, and took a sip of the spirit tea.


    The Holy Maiden of the Eclipse Moon Sect had married twice. Both of whom were descendants of aristocratic families with deep backgrounds within the Six Mountains and Three Realms, but without exception, these two husbands all died within thousands of years. The Saintess of the Second Mountain Range of the Yunling realm was well-known. Although she still had many admirers, no one dared to her ask her to be their Dao Companion.


    There was a trace of arrogance in Chu Yuehe''s eyes as he said, "Master Bailu is the supreme power who controls half of the Baiye realm. No matter how hard the Eclipse Saintness is, how dare she be presumptuous after entering the demon king''s court?"


    Ji Yuenian remained silent. His identity at this time was a talented disciple within the mountain peak set up by the Holy Maiden of the Moon Eclipse, and the fact that he was not qualified to comment on the demon king''s family within the realm of Bai Ye made him reticent on topic.


    "Junior Brother, drink the remaining spiritual tea as well. I still have a lot of chores to do here, so I won''t see you off." Chu Yuehe flicked the remaining half pot of spiritual tea towards him with a wave of his sleeve.


    Even though Ji Yuenian was a disciple in the Luoxia Mountain Range, he was not qualified to have an equal dialogue with Chu Yuehe at all. Chu Yuehe was willing to meet Ji Yuenian in person, but that was only to confirm his sect token.


    A disciple of the Taiyu Holy Sect strayed into the Qingluan Mountain Range. As Chu Yuehe was in charge of the Qingluan Mountain Range, it would not hurt to spread his status and see him.


    Ji Yuenian knew the preciousness of this spiritual tea, and he did not pretend o be hypocritical, so he put away the half pot of spiritual tea and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Chu."


    Chu Yuehe nodded, and directed to his servant. "Yan Yue, send this junior brother out of the Heavenly Furnace barrier."


    The burly man in commoner¡¯s clothes stood by and respectfully said, "Yes, Mr. Chu."


    From the beginning to the end, Chu Yuehe didn''t even ask Ji Yuenian''s name, but just glanced at the token of the main hall of Eclipse Moon Peak. s?a??h th? Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Ji Yuenian followed Yan Yue out of the ancient temple, stopped in his tracks, closed his eyes slightly, and the phantom of psychic karma gradually surged up in his soul.


    Yan Yue was a little puzzled, and said softly, "Young Master, what''s the matter?"


    After a few breaths, Ji Yuenian opened his eyes and said with a smile, "No problem, let''s go."


    The mountaintop.


    The black-clothed boy looked at Yuan Jian who was holding a scarlet spear in front of him, and his dull eyes gradually became turbulent. After a long while, he uttered the first words since this spiritual technique was given form.


    "You can use the Luozhong Mountain, but you¡¯ll have to one thing for me, first.¡±

 Ch. 95

    Yuan Jian looked at the young man in black who had changed a lot, and he already had a lot of guesses in his mind, but he didn''t have much time to spare and think about it. "As long as it is something I can do, I will do my best."Although on the surface he was very afraid of the disciples of the Taiyu Holy Sect, in the end, it was just because he was greedy for the Luoxia''s resources. Once it came to his own interests, an old monster like Yuan Jian would not be stupid at all.


    Even if he offended these talented disciples, there was a great possibility that he would be included in the missions of the Sect, but it wouldn¡¯t be a priority. If it was impossible, he would give up Luozhong Mountain, or even leave Luoxia Mountain directly, and find another place to cultivate.


    Although there were few huge Qi veins in the Yuanyan Realm that could match the Luoxia Mountains, most creatures would almost make rational choices when their lives were at stake.


    Only old-fashioned orthodox Daoists like Dao Yanguan, who stuck to the rules and only cared about cultivating behind closed doors would do such a thing. He had never cared for anything in the Luoxia Mountains, and finally ended up in a mess.


    The figure of the boy in black changed back and forth between virtual and real, and even his voice became ethereal, "After you occupy Luozhong Mountain, you only need to cultivate this incarnation once a month, it''s very easy, and the rest has nothing to do with me."


    After saying this, the black-clothed boy seemed to lose his sanity in an instant, his figure was completely solidified, and his eyes were filled with dullness again. He looked up at Yuan Jian, steadfast.


    Yuan Jian heaved a sigh of relief. Knowing that the disciple of the Luoxia Mountain Range had left, he couldn''t help but feel relief.


    Although he was a tyrannical demon in the Late Stage of True Dao Realm, he couldn''t understand why Ji Yuenian would descend here from an unknown distance.


    He didn''t know that Ji Yuenian had left a trace of psychic karma fire, so Ji Yuenian was able to send a little message from far away by connecting with the psychic karma fire above his soul.


    Because the distance was too far, these two short sentences had consumed nearly half of the psychic karma in Ji Yuenian''s brow and heart palace acupoint.


    The pitch-black heart fire in his soul rose into a fading light, gradually replenishing the phantom of the karmic fire consumed in the Jingong acupoint, and then slowly fell silent.


    Yuan Jian looked at the silent boy in black, thinking about the meaning of Ji Yuenian''s words.


    Training once a month sounds very simple, but what kind of training method is it? s?a??h th? ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Ji Yuenian didn''t say anything at all.


    With a heartbeat, Yuan Jian followed the black light around the young man in black and looked around. He suddenly understood, and murmured, "Sure enough, he is the genius of the Holy Sect, with an unparalleled mind, beyond comparison. "


    At that time, he had no idea that Ji Yuenian not only had Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline, and had ignited the Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence, and was an enchanting talent who ranked first in the entrance examination. He would definitely be shocked and inexplicable, and he would be even more afraid of Ji Yuenian here.


    A demon in the Late Stage of True Dao Realm would be afraid of a disciple in the Late Stage of Xuan Realm. Although it seemed crude when put in words, it was a true reflection of Yuan Jian''s thoughts.


    The art of descending thousands of miles away just now was enough to make Yuan Jian dumbfounded and add a lot of speculation in his heart.


    Qingluan Mountains, the Heavenly Furnace barrier.


    Ji Yuenian closed his hands towards Yanyue, a big man in cloth, and said, "Demon General, it is enough that you have walked me here, please go back."


    Yanyue smiled wryly, and laughed at himself. "Although I am at the Late Stage of True Dao Realm, I have been deprived of spiritual techniques and weapons. I must never be called a ''demon general''. I¡¯ll take my leave, Young Master."


    Ji Yuenian nodded, and walked directly towards the barrier dozens of feet away.


    "Stay!"


    The sweet girl''s voice came to his ears. Ji Yuenian looked back, and saw a pretty girl in a green dress standing more than a hundred feet away, looking at him from afar.


    Seeing that Ji Yuenian stopped in his tracks, the girl in the green dress had a ghostly aura surging around her body. She jumped and ran towards her, and by the time she reached Ji Yuenian, most of the dark ghostly aura around her had dissipated.


    "You ¡­ will we meet again?"


    The girl in the green dress raised her head slightly, looking at the handsome young man in the dark black moon robe, and a little blush appeared on her fair and delicate face.


    It was the newborn ghost that Ji Yuenian had met after passing through the barrier a few years ago.


    Standing on one side, Yan Yue glanced at the girl in the green skirt, his eyes narrowed. He said, "You¡¯re just a newborn ghost. If you want to leave, I can make it happen. If you don¡¯t, you wouldn¡¯t be able to pass through this barrier without Mr. Chu¡¯s consent.¡±


    Ji Yuenian shook his head lightly, turned around again and walked towards the barrier.

 Ch. 96

    The girl in the green dress stood quietly on the spot. Looking at the boy¡¯s slender back, her soft and cold lips moved slightly, but she never spoke a complete sentence.Yan Yue glanced at her with some pity, and said, ¡°With a body as strong as ours, how can we have any qualifications to expect extravagant things? What¡¯s more, what you admire is just his appearance. Besides, what else do you know about this talented disciple from the Luoxia Mountain?¡±


    After saying that, Yan Yue turned around and walked far away towards the ancient temple on the top of the main peak.


    ¡°It turns out that he is from the Luoxia Mountains.¡±


    The girl in the green dress didn¡¯t seem to have any reaction to Yan Yue¡¯s words. She just quietly looked at the cage-like sky Furnace barrier in front of her, and whispered to herself. S?a??h th? Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Even though she didn¡¯t even know his name, the moment Ji Yuenian¡¯s ghostly aura dissipated, and his appearance was revealed, a spark ignited in her mind.


    She was an extremely rare Heart-devouring Ghost, who lived by absorbing the emotions of living beings.


    This fire was called the Heart-devouring Profound Fire, and only when the Heart-devouring Ghost¡¯s mind trembled, there was a very small possibility of it igniting. Once the fire appeared, it would directly attach to its soul, and even destroy its original Heart Fire completely, leaving nothing behind.


    ...


    Ji Yuenian looked at the trembling ¡°Star Tracing¡± token in his hand, and penetrated into it with a trace of extremely pure imperial Xuan Qi.


    ¡°Ji Yuenian, immediately activate the token with all your strength, let out all the breath, and I will take you to the ancient city of Taichu.¡±


    A man¡¯s voice came out of it, and it seemed to contain a powerful force that could divide mountains and seas.


    Gods and Spirits realm.


    Ji Yuenian thought about it for a moment, and according to his words, poured all the Taiyu Xuan Qi into the Star Tracing Token, and slowly activated it.


    But after a few breaths, there was a sharp sword light that could tear the sky, and a man in a deep green robe came down with a cold and solemn expression, guarding the sword light.


    ¡°Xingyuan Peak Ji Yuenian, I greet fellow Daoist.¡± Ji Yuenian stepped forward to salute and spoke respectfully.


    The green-robed man looked at Ji Yuenian for a while, his expression softened a little, and he said, ¡°No need to be too polite, I come from the Taiyin Sword Vessel of the Sixth Mountain. As the change of the Earth God in the Taichu, and you, the Holy Son Candidate, have a hand in the incident. Which is hy I will be taking you there directly.¡±


    At that time, Ji Yuenian already knew that this green-robed man in the realm of the gods and spirits was the one who came to deal with Ji Quexue from the Taiyu Holy Sect.


    But now, the territory of Taichu had already returned to calm, and the god of Taichu land must have died, so it was a little late to come here now.


    As if seeing through what Ji Yuenian was thinking, the green-robed man shook his head, flicked his sleeves, leading Ji Yuenian to the blue-white giant sword he was stepping on, and said, ¡°If it weren¡¯t for this, there would be no way to get out of here. These righteous gods pick things out of their hands.¡±


    The sword light whizzed up, and the scenery of mountains and rivers below quickly passed by. In just a few tens of breaths, the two of them reached the ancient city of Taichu. This terrifying speed made Ji Yuenian slightly startled. He had gained a lot of new understanding of the horror of about the Gods and Spirits realm.


    The green-robed man looked through the clouds and mist. Glancing at the ancient city of Taichu at his feet, he said softly, ¡°Where is the Land god Shen Xue?¡±


    His voice was not too loud, but just after his words fell, a figure in white clothes condensed several feet away, bowed slightly to the man in green robe, and said, ¡°Shen Xue has seen Brother Daoist ¡­¡±


    ¡°You can just call me a Daoist, friend,¡± the green-robed man pondered for a moment, then took out a jade talisman from his sleeve and threw it out. ¡°You have committed a great crime by killing the land god of Taichu. The gods are in charge, but the Holy Sect and the City God Zunshen have long agreed that the Holy Sect also has jurisdiction over the gods of heaven and earth at all levels within the Yuanyan realm. This is the punishment imposed on you by the Law Enforcement Peak of the Sixth Mountain Range.¡±


    Shen Xue took the jade talisman, and after a few breaths, there was a slight coldness in her eyes. She said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, although I have sinned, I am in charge of the heaven and earth of the Taichu territory. This punishment ¡­ isn¡¯t it too heavy?¡±


    The green-robed man chuckled and said, ¡°This has nothing to do with my duties, you just need to answer whether you accept it or not.¡±


    Shen Xue grit her teeth indiscernibly. But she knew the reason her arms couldn¡¯t argue. She glanced coldly at Ji Yuenian behind the green-robed man. Between the light dancing on her gauze sleeves, two white jade tokens, one large and one small, condensed. She said: ¡°Take it.¡±


    The green-robed man reached out to take the order talisman, handed the smaller white jade order talisman to Ji Yuenian, and said, ¡°It can be said that this matter was solved by you. This is a reward from Law Enforcement Peak of the Sixth Mountain Range.¡±


    After Ji Yuenian took the order talisman, he didn¡¯t check it immediately, but put it away directly, clasped his hands, and said, ¡°Thank you, fellow Daoist.¡±


    ¡°No need to be polite.¡±


    The green-robed man flicked his sleeves lightly. Without the slightest intention of staying here, he directly sent the sword to take Ji Yuenian away, and he disappeared from Taichu within a few breaths.


    Shen Xue seemed to have weakened a lot, she looked up coldly at the direction the two left, her body gradually disintegrated into thousands of light spots, and completely disappearing into the void.


    ...


    Xingyuan Peak


    ¡°This Qingluan is very loyal. If Senior Brother Ji doesn¡¯t return for a day, it will always wait here.¡±


    Lu Mingxi looked at Qingluan, who had been sent back by Taoist Hexuan not long ago, and sighed in admiration.


    Zhang Tianxin, Ming Zhu and the others were standing on one side at this time, upon hearing this, they looked at each other, and couldn¡¯t help but say.


    ¡°An evil god has appeared in Taichu, and it is extremely dangerous. Brother Ji happened to be in the ancient city of Taichu at that time, and he was the first to bear the brunt!¡±


    ¡°The position of the Land God in Taichu has changed hands. Even Senior Brother Ji¡¯s spiritual bird was sent back by Heyun Temple, but Senior Brother Ji has not returned for a long time. Where did he go?¡±


    ¡°I heard that Senior Brother Ji has ...¡±

 Ch. 97

    Lu Mingxi''s complexion changed slightly, and he scolded, "It''s nonsense! What kind of person is Senior Brother Ji? How could he fall so easily?"Zhang Tianxin and the others looked awkward and shut their mouths.


    Having said that, Lu Mingxi''s heart was also a little chaotic. After all, no matter how weak the righteous gods of heaven and earth were, they were entities that could be compared with the powerhouse in the Gods and Spirit realm; the position of gods in the territory of Taichu had changed. There was still no news of Ji Yuenian, so these disciples couldn''t help but think about it.


    Not long after, even Jiao Xiuyu and Xu Xiao, who were far away from Eclipse Moon Peak, rushed over.


    A lotus leaf landed slowly. Zhao Xiaoyun jumped down from the edge of the lotus leaf, looked at the people gathered outside the Wanxing Court, found Lu Mingxi, and said, "Senior Brother Lu, don''t worry, cousin has already been protected by Taichu Land God, and did not participate in the subsequent battle between the two righteous gods. There should be no serious problems.¡±


    Lu Mingxi recognized Zhao Xiaoyun and breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little skeptical and said, "Is this really true?"


    Zhao Xiaoyun nodded, and said, "It''s true, I saw my cousin being protected by the land god of Taichu. He was sent out of Taichu, and then the land god of Taichu competed with the current land god, Shen Xue. After fighting, the divine body of the land god finally collapsed and disappeared, and the position of the ninth-rank god within the territory of Taichu changed hands from then on."


    Those disciples gathered around one after another. Hearing that Ji Yuenian was fine, they couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief.


    Some of them really cared about Ji Yuenian''s safety, while more people were worried about their own future and interests, which was human nature.


    While talking, Zhan Ming brought more than ten disciples up from Scattered Star Court. Yaoyao said loudly to Lu Mingxi, "Junior brother Lu, what happened to Senior Brother Ji?"


    Lu Mingxi took a deep look at Zhan Ming, his eyes were a little inexplicable. "He''s all right, and should be returning to Xingyuan Peak soon."


    Zhan Ming lived in the Xingyuan Peak''s courtyard, the Scattered Stars Court, so he would not be unaware that Ji Yuenian''s Qingluan had been sent back, but it took him so long to come to the Wangxing Court to have a look.


    Even though the Lu family where Lu Mingxi lived had some connections with the family behind Zhan Ming, he couldn''t help being a little contemptuous of him, but this matter couldn''t be clearly stated at all, so he had to keep it in his heart for the time being.


    "It''s fine as long as he''s okay, it''s fine if he''s okay," Zhan Ming said with a look of joy on his face. "Senior Brother Ji is blessed, so I knew he would be fine.¡±


    Qingluan''s high-pitched neighing attracted everyone''s attention, and while waving its huge wings, the blue-feathered Luan bird slowly lifted into the sky, heading towards a faintly approaching figure in the sky.


    Ji Yuenian wore a black moon robe, and his long jet-black hair was tied behind a white jade belt. He was surrounded by an incomparably rich Yin Qi of heaven and earth, and he traveled from far away.


    The green-robed man in the Divine Sea realm left Ji Yuenian not far from Xingyuan Peak. With Ji Yuenian''s cultivation base at the Late Stage of Xuan Realm, although the Yin Qi of heaven and earth in his blood did not allow him to hover in the air for a long time, it wasn¡¯t a problem for a shorter distance.


    "It''s Brother Ji!"


    "Cousin!"


    "Brother Ji is back!" S~?a??h the N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Many disciples showed joy on their faces, and they all respectfully saluted the figure above Qingluan Moutains.


    Qingluan gradually landed outside the courtyard. Ji Yuenian walked down from the side of the sky, and looked at Zhao Xiaoyun among the crowd.


    With just one glance, Ji Yuenian could tell that Zhao Xiaoyun had already begun to practice of ghost transformation , and there were some signs of getting started.


    This mantra could raise the Heart Fire by two levels. Although there were not many requirements for aptitude, it had extremely high requirements for understanding. Zhao Xiaoyun was able to grope for the threshold of the real mantra of ghost transformation so quickly, which showed that his comprehension was not bad.


    Lu Mingxi glanced at the bustling disciples, frowned, and said, "Senior Brother Ji has returned safely, and he needs to rest in peace. You should all retreat for now. It won''t be too late to pay your respects again after Senior Brother Ji has recuperated for a few days. "


    These disciples all showed more or less reluctance on their faces, but Lu Mingxi was the Deputy General disciple, with a high position and authority, and ordinary disciples dared not disobey what he said.


    All of a sudden, many disciples retreated after seeing Ji Yuenian. After dozens of breaths, there were only less than ten close disciples left outside the courtyard.


    Ji Yuenian took a look at Zhan Ming, Zhang Tianxin and the others, and said, "Go back and practice first."


    Zhan Ming and the others did not dare to disobey, and saluted one after another. "Yes, Senior Brother Ji."


    After saying that, they left Wangxing Court one after another, and headed back to Scattering Stars Courtyard.


    The shield outside the Wangxing Courtyard collapsed, and Ji Yuenian went in first, followed by Lu Mingxi, Zhao Xiaoyun, Jiao Xiuyu and Xu Xiao.


    After a few breaths, the light shield outside the courtyard re-condensed, and the surroundings of the Wangxing Courtyard gradually returned to silence. Only two huge blue-feathered Luan birds were left lying outside the courtyard, absorbing the sunlight every moment.


    "Senior Brother Ji, after this incident, I realized that most of these people are here just to obtain power and are not worthy of following you at all.¡±


    After taking the primary and secondary seats on the Star Gazing Jade Couch, Lu Mingxi spoke first, with a look of indignation.


    After all, Zhan Ming was recommended by him, but his performance this time was very disappointing, which made Lu Mingxi feel a little embarrassed.


    Zhao Xiaoyun didn''t know much about the affairs of Xingyuan Peak, so it was inconvenient to say more at this time, but Xu Xiao had been observing Ji Yuenian''s expression, and slowly said, "Although what Senior Brother Lu said makes sense, it isn¡¯t feasible. Not advisable."


    Lu Mingxi glanced at him sideways, with a worried look on his face, and said, "I wonder what Senior Brother Xu has to say?"


    Xu Xiao was a disciple of Eclipse Moon Peak, with mediocre talent and no background. Lu Mingxi looked down on him very much.


    "Senior Brother Ji has not yet entered the Three Realms of the Six Mountains, nor has he ever truly been ranked as the Candidate Holy Son," Xu Xiao mulled over his words, and said eloquently, "Senior Brother Ji''s identity is still the Outer Sect disciple of the Luoxia Mountain Range. Everything is complicated in the Luoxia Mountain Range. Although these disciples are very bad, they have many uses, and we don''t need to pay too much attention to them."


    His words were extremely ingenious, using the word "we" to tie himself to Ji Yuenian invisibly. Even if Lu Mingxi had some opinions on his words, it was inconvenient to express them directly.


    "As far as I know, these days, Zhan Ming has made a lot of money relying on his position as Deputy General disciple. At least he has nearly made a hundred primeval stones," Lu Mingxi snorted coldly, and did not contend with Xu Xiao. Then, he clasped his hands directly at Ji Yuenian. "Senior Brother Ji, if this continues, it will show that this guy is ruining your reputation, so we have to guard against it!"


    Ji Yuenian looked calmly, and said softly, "Xu Xiao''s words are reasonable, but these disciples have benefited from my status as a General Disciple, so it''s time for them to pay back."

 Ch. 98 - Ancient Scroll

    After Lu Ming spoke, Jiao Xiuyu and Zhao Xiaoyun''s expressions changed, and they all looked at Ji Yuenian.Ji Yuenian took out a talisman and a piece of jade stone, and said, "There are so many things going on in the Luoxia Mountain Range. If you want to cultivate peacefully, these disciples are indispensable." S?a??h the ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Zhao Xiaoyun took the talisman and jade stone from his hands, and asked doubtfully, "Cousin, what is this talisman?"


    "Service Peak Command Talisman and Projection Jade that record multiple missions," Ji Yue said in a soft voice. "With this token, you can go to a relevant peak to exchange for a mission reward of 100 primeval stones. Now, go to the mountain immediately, and bring these one hundred primeval stones back for me."


    "Yes, cousin."


    Without hesitation, Zhao Xiaoyun put away the command talisman and projection jade, and left the Wanxiang Court after a greeting.


    Xu Xiao was extremely clever, and he had already figured out Ji Yuenian''s intentions. He said with a smile, "Although Senior Brother Zhao is a relative of Senior Brother Ji, his ability is very unusual."


    At that time, besides Ji Yuenian, only Lu Mingxi and Xu Xiao were left on the Star Gazing Jade Couch.


    Ji Yuenian pondered for a moment, and said, "I know from someone of the Sixth Mountain Range that there was a powerful awakening of hidden master in the Jade Terrace of the Taiyu Holy Sect."


    Lu Mingxi seemed to have thought of something, his eyes fluctuated slightly, and he asked tentatively, "Could it be the master of the Yutai Realm who has been silent for more than 20,000 years?"


    "Junior Brother Lu is really well-informed." Ji Yuenian pointed in the direction of the Six Mountains and Three Realms of the Taiyu Holy Sect. "It is the master of the Yutai Realm who regained control of one of the Three Realms as soon as he awakened: Yuanjun."


    "It turned out to be a powerful man with the title of Yuanjun!" Xu Xiao appeared shocked, and even his voice trembled a little, "Could it be that his realm has already ..."


    Lu Mingxi nodded and said, "Your guess is good."


    The honorary title of Yuanjun was extremely rare, and only creatures in the Gods and Spirits Realm could obtain it, just like the Egret Demon Monarch. Once the title "jun" was added, it meant that his realm had completely breaking through the Gods and Spirits Realm.


    "Such a terrifying poweras high as heavenmight have nothing to do with us." Although Xu Xiao was clever, he still couldn''t figure out the correlation between this news and the Luoxia Mountain Range of the Outer Sect.


    Lu Mingxi hesitated for a moment, glanced at Ji Yuenian''s expression, and said, "I got some news from within the family, but I don''t dare to confirm it yet."


    Ji Yuenian was pondering over the complicated forbidden array carved on the Star Gazing Jade Couch, and after a few breaths, he raised his head slightly and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Lu, it''s alright. Just speak whats on your mind."

 Ch. 99

    This matter should be related to the once-in-10,000-year Daoist Summit.""The Daoist Summit spans dozens of land boundaries, and it is a grand event on the border of Northern Lu Continent. According to the records in ancient books, the Taiyu Holy Sect was always the last in the previous Daoist Summit, and did not make it on the list. There was not even a single power in the entire Yuanyan realm which could participate in the Daoist Summit."


    "There are still more than 1,600 years before the next Daoist Summit. The master of Yutai Realm has passed down an edict that within three hundred years, ten heavenly talents from the Six Mountains and Three Realms must be selected to participate in the Daoist Summit from Taiyu Holy Sect."


    "According to the rumors, the participating disciples this time will receive unparalleled importance and resources."


    After Lu Ming finished saying his piece, Xu Xiao was already dumbfounded.


    Ji Yuenian''s expression was still the same as before, obviously he had already known about this from Shangzhen.


    Lu Mingxi seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and raised his head to look at Ji Yuenian. "This kind of news is safeguarded. It has not been announced yet, and now it is only circulated among many aristocratic families. Let me ask Senior Brother Ji, is it true that the Sixth Mountain Range is still interested in Senior Brother Ji?"


    Ji Yuenian nodded slightly, and said, "Although I have already made an agreement with the Li family in the third mountain range, the Taiyin sword range in the sixth mountain range is still very optimistic about me, and wants me to enter after I reach True Dao Realm."


    Lu Ming thought about it for a while, and said, "These ten quotas are extremely precious. Yet, Taiyin Jianmai told Senior Brother Ji about this. Could it be that he intends to use this quota as a condition?"


    Ji Yuenian smiled and said, "How can it be so easy? What''s more, only the creatures in the Divine Sea Realm are eligible to participate in the Daoist Summit. What¡¯s more, there are only 1,600 years left before it commences.


    Xu Xiao kept his head down all the while, searching for something in the storage ring.


    Not long after, he took out a large pile of ancient books and jade talismans, and searched through them one by one.


    Many ancient scriptures would be recorded in ancient scroll made of Yin wood. This kind of ancient scrolls were not only convenient to seal script and writing, but also were extremely difficult to damage. Compared with the small jade talisman, it was easier to preserve and less likely to be lost.


    "Found it."


    Xu Xiao took a volume of "Brief History of Taiyu Holy Sect" carved with ancient scroll, turned to the fourth page, pointed to a few lines of small characters on it, and said, "Senior brothers, please read here. " S?a?ch* Th? n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Both Ji Yuenian and Lu Mingxi looked towards the pointed text.


    "A brief description of the seats of the disciples of the Holy Sect participating in the Daoist Summit."


    The holy son and holy daughter within the six mountains occupy six seats.


    The Taiyu Realm of the Three Realms occupied a seat.


    The Yutai Realm of the Three Realms occupied a seat.


    The Qingluo realm of the Three Realms occupied a seat;


    The Six Mountains were the first in the competition, occupying a seat.


    Within the Taiyu Holy Sect in the Yuanyan realm, a total of ten disciples could participate in the Daoist Summit.


    Lu Mingxi was stunned, and said, "The requirements for participating in the Daoist Summit of the Xia Dynasty are so strict. The holy son and the holy daughter positions are all as high as heaven. How could it be possible for ordinary disciples to achieve it? The Three Realms of the Holy Sect don''t have to be so strict. It is said that those who can occupy the seats are all the heavenly talents."


    Xu Xiao put the ancient scroll back in the storage ring, and said, "Even if you can''t ascend to the position of the Holy Son, you still have the chance to clinch the seat of the number one in the Six Mountains Competition.


    Lu Mingxi looked at him as if he was an idiot, shook his head, and said, "Do you know how difficult the Six Mountains Competition of the Taiyu Holy Sect is? There are hundreds of thousands of disciples in the Six Mountains and Three Realms of the Holy Sect. There are countless creatures like drops in the ocean. This time, there are only around two hundred years left before the next Holy Sect Six Mountain Competition, even if Senior Brother Ji ..."


    Speaking of this, Lu Mingxi and Xu Xiao were both stunned.


    Unknowingly, the two of them had raised Ji Yuenian to the point where he had the opportunity to participate in the Daoist Summit.


    Ji Yuenian looked at them a little strangely, and said, "Junior Brother Lu, Junior Brother Xu, you don''t think I can get a seat in the Daoist Summit, do you?"


    "Most likely!"


    "Senior Brother Ji has hope to give it a try!"


    Xu Xiao and Lu Mingxi spoke at the same time. Although their words were somewhat different, their meanings were similar.


    After saying this, the two subconsciously looked at each other, and the atmosphere of former mutual dislike seemed to ease a lot inadvertently.


    Ji Yuenian laughed a little, and said, "No matter which one of these ten seats, it is as difficult as ascending the heaven, not to mention the seats in the Three Realms of the Holy Sect, but only the six seats of the Holy Son of the Six Mountains. Even if I can be among the Candidate Holy Sons, at the end of the day, that position after all doens¡¯t make me a bona fide Holy Son. The difference in their status cannot be ignored."


    However, Lu Mingxi shook his head. With an inexplicable look in his eyes, he said, "Senior Brother Ji has the extremely rare Tong Xuan Heart Ghost Bloodline, and he has ignited a Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence. How many disciples of the sect can surpass Senior Brother Ji? From my point of view, I''m afraid there are no more ten.¡±


    Xu Xiao glanced at him, and said, "Even though Senior Brother Ji is talented, the time limit is too constraining. There are only two hundred years left before the Grand Competition. Could it be that Senior Brother Ji can break into the True Dao Realm in such a short period of time?"


    There were only dozens of cultivators in the Divine Sea Realm within the Taiyu Holy Sect, and any creature in this realm must have at least have a Grade 5 Heart Fire Sequence. In addition to that, thousands of years of cultivation, coupled with a monstrous willpower, and comprehension.


    If the aptitude of creatures in the realm of Xuan Realm was not too bad, breaking into the True Dao Realm could take a few years or decades.


    But if ordinary creatures wanted to break into the True Dao Realm, the difficulty was simply incomprehensible!


    After breaking into the True Dao Realm, the life expectancy would be increased by 800 years.


    But within these 800 years, the souls who were trapped in the Late Stage of True Dao Realm would stop advancing, and finally die like mortals.


    The Six Mountains Competition of Taiyu Holy Sect had a very clear purpose and did not have a fix schedule. Sometimes it happened once every few hundred years, and sometimes every thousand years.


    According to the usual practice, within two thousand years before the start of the Daoist Summit, the Taiyu Holy Sect would generally hold a Six Mountain Competition to select the number one disciple of the Six Mountains within True Dao Realm.


    Only the living beings in True Dao Realm would participate in the Six Mountains Grand Competition. After the winner of the competition was selected, under the inclination of the sect''s terrifying resources, a thousand years were enough to promote them to the Divine Sea Realm.


    "Where is Ji Yuenian?"


    A clear and bright male voice drifted over from far away outside the Waxing Courtyard, causing both Xu Xiao and Lu Mingxi to be taken aback for a moment.

 Ch. 100 - Execution

    The light shield outside the courtyard had an extremely strong effect. This person¡¯s voice could penetrate through the shield, which was enough to show his profound and incomparable cultivation.Ji Yuenian stood up from the Stargazing Jade Seat, and said, "It should be the arrival of the peak master of Xingyuan Peak."


    Although Li Shixuan, the peak master of Xingyuan Peak, was in charge of Xingyuan Peak, he rarely stayed in the peak. There were only a few General Disciples on duty in the main hall of Xingyuan Peak on weekdays.


    The shield of the courtyard slowly disintegrated, and Ji Yuenian led Lu Mingxi and Xu Xiao out, bowed respectfully to Li Shixuan, and said, "Ji Yuenian has greets the peak master."


    Li Shixuan was followed by several General Disciples in the Wangxing Court. These people all looked at Ji Yuenian with complicated eyes, and there was a look of admiration in their expressions.


    "There''s no need to be too polite." Li Shixuan took out a green jade talisman and handed it to Ji Yuenian. "A few days ago, the elder Chen Jiatai of the ancient city broke through the tribulation and climbed to the realm of Gods and Immortals. The Taiyu Holy Sect has a bit of connection with them, so the Outer Sect Luoxia Mountain requires five disciplines to go to watch the ceremony, and although Xingyuan Peak is ranked sixth, I have forcibly begged for a place."


    The ancient city, Destroyer, was one of the nineteen ancient cities under the rule of Taiyu Holy Sect. The territory of this ancient city was vast and boundless, with a radius of tens of thousands of miles, which was countless times stronger than the barren ancient city of Taichu.


    Ji Yuenian stepped forward to take the jade talisman, knowing the weight of the quota very clearly in his heart. He clasped his hands towards Li Shixuan again and said, "Thank you, Peak Master."


    Li Shixuan nodded, and said, "The jade talisman records everything about the ceremony. You can go alone, or go with the other four disciples."


    After saying this, the Xingyuan Peak Master didn''t say anymore, and directly led the several disciples towards the direction of the Peak Master''s Hall. Obviously, he had other important matters to attend to.


    Although Li Shixuan didn''t say it explicitly, Ji Yuenian could vaguely guess that the quota for the ceremony was bought by Li Shixuan at a price. After all, if it was in accordance with the usual practice, there were only five places in the Luoxia Mountains, and they had already been taken up by the top five peaks. Although Xingyuan Peak ranked No. 1 among hundreds of peaks, it still couldn''t easily get this incomparably precious quota.


    Ji Yuenian had the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline, and he had ignited the Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence. Additionally, he had an agreement with the Li family in the Third Mountain Range. At that time, it was not surprising that Li Shixuan would spend resources for him.


    The peak lord of Xingyuan Peak coming here in person had already attracted many disciples from the Wangxing Court. At that moment, there was a lot of noise outside the courtyard.


    "The peak master actually specially asked for a place in the ceremony for Senior Brother Ji, it is too partial."


    "You can''t say that. Brother Ji''s talent is obvious to all, and it''s not unusual to get the key cultivation resources of the peak."


    "If you can go to the ancient city Destroyer to observe the ceremony, you will not only be able to meet many peers of the same generation, but also have many hidden benefits that cannot be expressed. It is really enviable."


    Ji Yuenian put away the talisman casually, and quietly looked at these disciples who were tens of feet away, with deep eyes.


    Seeing that Ji Yuenian, Lu Mingxi, and the others did not react, some disciples became more courageous, and their hearts surged with sourness. S?a?ch* Th? N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    "As far as I know, Senior Brother Ji has never been close to the disciples of Xingyuan Peak, but he is very close to the disciples of other mountain peaks."


    "That''s right, especially in our Wangxng Peak, Senior Brother Ji hardly has a few familiar disciples."


    "Although Ji Yuenian lives in one of the four extreme courtyards of Xingyuan Peak, he can be regarded as a disciple of Wangxing, but he hangs out with some demons in the Scattering Star Courtyard all day long, and is willing to degenerate. It is really embarrassing. Sigh."


    "Not only that, I heard that even the last time Senior Brother Ji went to the Luoxia Mountains to perform a mission, he chose people from the Scattering Star Court. Even if we Wangxing Court disciples wanted to get close to Senior Brother Ji, we couldn''t find an opportunity at all."


    Lu Mingxi''s complexion was hideous. He took a peek at Ji Yuenian''s expression, and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Ji is a General Disciple, but he is too tolerant of these Wangxing Court people; these people dare taunt senior brother!"


    Xu Xiao took a step forward. With an inexplicable brilliance in his eyes, he said, "Senior Brother Ji, please appoint me as the Deputy General."


    Ji Yuenian glanced at him, remained silent for a moment, took out his ''Star Tracing'' token, condensed a small ink jade token, and gave it to Xu Xiao, saying, "Alright."


    Although Xu Xiao was a disciple of Eclipse Moon Peak, the regulations within the Luoxia Mountain Range were extremely complete, and there were many forces among the disciples of the mountain peaks. Many disciples surrounded every General disciple.


    Once the disciples from the other mountain peaks were appointed as Deputy General, then this disciple still had the right to govern and dispose of ordinary disciples within the mountain where the General Disciple was located.


    Xu Xiao took a step towards those Wangxing Court disciples, his aura suddenly changed, and there was a hint of sternness in his eyes. Pointing at the disciples, he said coldly, "Was it you who just said that Senior Brother Ji is willing to degenerate?"


    The Wangxing Court disciple originally wanted to express his sadness, but at that moment, he was suddenly pointed out by Xu Xiao, and couldn''t help but secretly groan.


    "This ¡­¡±


    Xu Xiao sneered, revealed the token in his hand, and said, "From now on, you have lost your status as a disciple of Xingyuan Peak, and you will be relegated to Shenxing Court, the lower court of Xingyuan Peak. Your medicinal and spiritual resources quota will be delegated to you as per the Handyman disciple norm, henceforth.¡±


    "Senior Brother, Senior Brother! I know I''m wrong!" The Wangxing court¡¯s disciple''s face turned pale. He knelt down directly on the ground, stretched out his palm and slapped himself fiercely, his face swelled up very obviously after a while.


    Xu Xiao walked forward slowly, and took out a spiritual long sword. Looking at the disciple who was still slapping himself, a cold light flashed in his eyes. A sword light shone, and he directly slashed down on his head!


    The disciple raised his head suddenly. He never thought that Xu Xiao would be so cruel. "Senior brother, I!"


    The voice came to an abrupt end.


    All of them were at the Late Stage of Xuan Realm, and were mentally calculating their chances. However, without having any means of protection, the long sword, which contained Xuan Qi, directly smashed the disciple¡¯s acupoints between the eyebrows and the Shengong acupoint. The disciple¡¯s lifeless body collapsed powerlessly to the ground.


    All the disciples in Xingyuan Peak''s court had arrived here unknowingly, and the entire Wangxing Court was completely silent.


    After a few breaths of silence, there was already an uproar outside the Star Tracing Courtyard.

 Ch. 101 - Face!

    ¡°How dare this person flout the sect rules so blatantly!¡±¡°Which mountain peak does that disciple belong to? How dare he kill a disciple so wantonly in Wangxing peak in front of the public!¡±


    Many of the disciples who had just rushed over raged. Looking at Xu Xiao who was standing with a sword, they were surprised and shocked.


    Under the previous disciple''s explanation, these disciples came to know that the person who made the move was actually Ji Yuenian''s Deputy General.


    Xu Xiao put away the spiritual weapon, looked around with no fear on his face, and said coldly, "This person had been demoted by me to be a handyman disciple, and his status was low. Even if I kill him for no reason, at most, I will only be punished with some primeval stones. It is far from violating the sect¡¯s rules."


    A disciple of Wangxing peak who was on good terms with the dead person, felt extremely upset at that moment, and boldly said, ¡°But you have not yet passed the approval with the peak master''s hall. It doesn¡¯t really count!¡±


    Xu Xiao smiled coldly, glanced at the disciple with a stern look, took out the Deputy General token again, and said, ¡°From now on, you have also been demoted to a handyman disciple by me. Hand over spiritual treasures, pills, primeval stones and other things without fail.¡±


    All the disciples in Wangxing peak fell silent, completely shocked by Xu Xiao, and did not dare to say a word at will.


    Among these disciples were two General Disciples, one of whom was on duty in the main hall of the peak. With his cold eyes, he took a step forward, clasped his hands towards Ji Yuenian, and said, ¡°Fellow juniors, Senior Brother Ji, the fact that the Deputy General demoted the two of them as handyman disciples has passed the review of the main palace of Xingyuan Peak, and I, Yanming, can vouch for it.¡±


    There was almost no reason why these General Disciples shouldn''t be on good terms, not to mention that Ji Yuenian rarely interacted with the General Disciples in the three courtyards, so this was a great opportunity to cling to him.


    Although General Disciples had great power, they weren¡¯t supposed to abused. It was fine to use it to frighten disciples in order to gain benefits. If they continued to punish disciples without reason, they would definitely be severely punished by Xingyuan Peak.


    But now, Xu Xiao only relegated two disciples, and behind him was Ji Yuenian, who had a great momentum, so naturally no one dared to say anything more.


    Most of the Deputy General disciples would not be like Xu Xiao, who would do things unreasonably, leaving no way out for anyone.


    Ji Yuenian flicked his sleeves and said to Xu Xiao, ¡°Zhan Ming''s position as Deputy General is hereby voided. From then on, I will hand over my authority to you and Junior Brother Lu, and you can handle everything as you like without consulting me.¡±


    Lu Mingxi and Xu Xiao both bowed their heads and saluted, ¡°Yes, Senior Brother Ji.¡±


    Yan Ming saw that Ji Yuenian had turned around to return to the Star Tracing Courtyard, and said to the surrounding disciples, ¡°Go back to your own courtyards, what are you all standing here for!?¡±


    "Senior Brother Yan, help me!" The second person from Wangxing peak who was demoted by Xu Xiao was kneeling on the ground, looking hopefully at Yan Ming.


    Yan Ming glanced at him, and said, "You have been a disciple at the Late Stage of Xuan Realm for many years, why don''t you understand the truths that misfortune comes from your mouth?" S?a??h th? N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    After finishing saying his piece, he turned around and left the Star Tracing Courtyard without even greeting Xu Xiao and Lu Mingxi.


    The rotating disciples in the main hall of the peak were of great importance, except for Ji Yuenian, these disciples had never been regarded by Yan Ming at all.


    It was just that he didn''t know Lu Mingxi''s identity and background, otherwise he would¡¯ve put on another face.


    Xu Xiao looked down at the disciple who was kneeling on the ground, snorted coldly, and said, "Hand over all your stored spiritual weapons, and you can go to Shenxing peak."


    The reason this disciple was not killed was because Lu Mingxi was secretly shaking his head towards him.


    When only Lu Mingxi and Xu Xiao were left outside the Star Tracing Courtyard, Xu Xiao asked, "Brother Lu, why did you stop me from beheading him?"


    Lu Mingxi sighed, and said: "When you first served as Deputy General, you didn''t understand the details of this at all. Although a Deputy General disciple has great powers, it also has many restrictions. If the matter of you demoting the disciples of the foreign peaks fails to pass the review of the main hall of the peak, the right to relegation will be voided."


    Xu Xiao frowned for a while, and gradually figured out the mystery, and slowly said, "I see, the reason why Yan Ming broke the usual regulations just now and directly stated here that it passed the review was for Brother Ji''s sake. Although Senior Brother Ji delegated power to us, we cannot abuse our power like Zhan Ming, otherwise ..."


    Lu Mingxi glanced at him appreciatively, and said, "I got some news recently, take a look."


    After saying this, he directly took out a jade slip and handed it to Xu Xiao.


    Xu Xiao took the jade slip, and the more he looked at it, the uglier his face became. In the end, he directly crushed the fragile jade slip into pieces!


    "Zhan Ming has been so greedy during the days when he was the Deputy General!"


    Lu Mingxi smiled wryly and said, "That''s right, I haven''t dared to report this matter to Senior Brother Ji until now. Zhan Ming has relegated nine disciples from the Outer Sect during this period, and the main hall of the peak has passed the review in the name of Senior Brother Ji. Zhan Ming became more and more arrogant. He even relied on his position as a Deputy to bully and threaten many disciples in the Star Court, and up to now, his profit has approached two hundred primeval stones!"


    Xu Xiao glanced at the Xingxing courtyard behind him, and said, "Senior Brother Ji has just gone to Zhan Ming, why hasn''t Senior Brother Lu reported this matter?"


    Lu Mingxi was a little speechless, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, Zhan Ming has offended many people during this period, and without Brother Ji''s protection, his fate will not be so good, don''t worry about him."


    Lu Mingxi was ashamed to reveal the real reason.


    Zhan Ming was the one who brought him to the Star Tracing Courtyard, and even asked for a post as a Deputy for him, but Zhan Ming was so greedy that he prompted complaints from all the disciples in the Wanxing Court, making Lu Mingxi lose all face.


    Xu Xiao looked at Lu Mingxi''s expression, and he felt a little strange, made some guesses, but he didn''t ask ignorantly.


    "I''ll leave as well. Senior Brother Ji will go to the ancient city to observe the ceremony in a few days, but my cultivation can''t be left behind." Lu Mingxi called Qingluan, who was not far away, and looked at Xu Xiao. "Junior Brother Xu, I will send you back to Eclipse Moon Peak."


    "Thank you, Brother Lu."


    ...


    Star Tracing Court, Star Gazing Jade Seat.


    Ji Yuenian gently waved his sleeves, and several objects of different sizes appeared in front of him one by one.


    The core jade talisman of Daoist inheritance of Daoyan Temple.


    Shengzong punished Shen Xuedi for the small jade talisman obtained by the earth god.


    There was also a three-foot wooden sword that exuded an incomparably rich bloodline power.

 Ch. 102

    Although Ji Yuenian went to the ancient city of Taichu twice in a few days, he never stepped into Ji house in Anyang. Judging from the purer bloodline power on the Edict Spirit Ebony Sword, the rest of Ji family had fewer people left.This was the magic of the bloodline spiritual weapon. Now that the aura of this Ebony Sword had soared, its attack and killing ability was comparable to that of the Mixed Mountain and Rivers scroll map, but the latter served for suppressing, sealing, etc. In terms of various effects, it was still far worse than it.


    After taking the Daoist jade talisman of Daoyan Temple, Ji Yuenian frowned slightly.


    There were only three basic practice formulas in it, and there was nothing else.


    The three-volume ¡°True Techniques¡± was divided into Xuan Realm, True Dao Realm, and Divine Sea Realm. The offensive technique in it was very simple, and the speed of its Xuan Qi condensation was much slower than that of "Tai Yu True Technique". It was an incomparably tasteless basic cultivation formula.


    Among them, the only thing that made Ji Yuenian a bit interested was that the lifespan of the souls who break through to be on par with that of the True Dao Realm cultivators with the ¡°True Techniques¡±. It could increase his lifespan by 1,200 years; The life span could be increased by four thousand years if broke through Divine Sea Realm.


    Ordinary living beings with True Dao Realm cultivation base, could only increase their lifespan by 800 years, while those in the Divine Sea Realm increased their lifespan by 3,200 years. Apart from increasing their lifespan by a lot, this ¡°True Techniques¡± could be said to be virtually useless.


    Although this trick was unbearable, with this extremely rare life-enhancing effect, it could be worth hundreds of primeval stones. With a wave of his sleeve, Ji Yuenian directly put the jade talisman away again.


    "Shen Xue Land God."


    Ji Yuenian picked up the small and cold jade talisman and murmured.


    For this god of heaven and earth in the Taichu Territory who once wanted to kill him, there was already a monstrous killing intent surging in his heart.


    It was just that Shen Xue''s land was too powerful, and it could be compared to the creatures in the realm of the Gods and Spirits. If he wanted to kill that beast, he couldn''t rush.


    The jade talisman gradually disintegrated, and the icy divine power flew out, turning into a crystal clear snow-white pill, which surged with the tyrannical divine power of heaven and earth.


    The God of Heaven and Earth could consume the divine power to condense the pill, the pill being one of the most precious resources.


    If ordinary creatures devoured this divine pill, they could significantly improve their spiritual foundation, and spiritual power by several times. Moreover, they could also sense the spiritual energy more easily. In some respects, it even had an effect that resulted in a half-level improvement of the Heart Fire Sequence.


    If a more powerful God of Heaven and Earth consumed a huge amount of pure divine power to condense such a pill, it would even have the miraculous effect of truly improving the Heart Fire by a level.


    However, this method would do great damage to the righteous gods of heaven and earth. Once the pure divine power was used to condense the pill, his promotion to the god rank would be delayed for tens of thousands of years.


    Moreover, the entity would lose the chance to be promoted to the god forever, because the pure divine power was extremely difficult to replenish. Once he stayed at the lower god position for too long, even the ability to recover the pure divine power would gradually weaken. This process couldn''t be reversed at all.


    The 30% of the divine power given to Anyang Ji''s family by the Shen Xue Land God to smoothen the karma was not the pure divine power, but her existing divine power, and it was not too difficult to supplement.


    However, the Taiyu Holy Sect''s punishment brought by the sword master stripped Shen Xue Land God of four such divine pills. It couldn''t possibly fully recover the loss within a year.


    The snow-white divine pill in front of Ji Yuenian was condensed from 10% of the pure divine power of Shen Xue¡¯s Land God. If he swallowed it directly, it would be enough to increase his spiritual power again!


    "The Great Compassion Mantra can not only transforms living beings, but also Gods." Ji Yuenian seemed to have thought of something, and chuckled. "This divine pill is my opportunity."


    With a flick of the black sleeve robe, a streak of golden Xuan Qi manifested, merged into the crystal clear snow-white pill, and turned into a thin band of blazing golden light within it. It rotated continuously.


    Although her divine power had been condensed into n pill, it still had an unknown connection with Shen Xue Land God on an extremely secretive levels of karma.


    "The Mantra of Crossing the Soul Buddha" originated from the vast and great Luojia Holy Mountain. It was the great technique of the Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the shocking energy contained in it was simply unimaginable.


    There were only three incantations in this "Mantra¡±, Ji Yuenian could only cultivate the first "Great Compassion Mantra", but it was this Great Compassion Mantra which helped him resolve countless life and death crisis.


    At that time, under the infusion of the golden Xuan Qi of the Great Compassion Mantra, the snow-white pill gradually transformed, but the change was not too big, almost unnoticeable.


    The reason was that Ji Yuenian''s cultivation base was too low, and he could only rely on long hours of hard work to sense the power of karma contained in this snow-white elixir.


    When the time was right, he could launch an earth-shattering thunder strike, and use the power of karma to crush this Shen Xue Land God who was nearly at the realm of the Gods and Spirits. All of its pure divine power would be devoured by him, and the amount of benefits he could obtain at that time was simply unimaginable.


    Putting away the golden pill, Ji Yuenian sat on the Star Gazing Jade Seat, looked down at the bottomless black abyss, and slowly sank into cultivation.


    Tai Yu True Technique had been cultivated to the peak of the Xuan Realm, but he was still far away from the threshold of the True Dao Realm. S?a??h th? N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Indestructible Body¡± remained unchanged. Although this mantra could almost make him immortal when practiced at a high level, it was cast aside by Ji Yuenian for now since it was not even higher than that of Azure Spiritual shield.


    It had been a long time since Ji Yuenian used this "Indestructible Body " because the protection of this tactic was too weak. The only thing worthy of praise was the speed at which it recovered the spiritual energy of the Xuan Sea. So, Ji Yuenian almost never worried about trivial matters such as the exhausting his Xuan Qi.


    The condensed spiritual skill "Sentient Ghost-devouring Armor " was also in this formula. Ji Yuenian had already guessed in his heart. The biggest function of this "Indestructible Body" was to assist.


    Condensation, recovery, refinement, fusion and many other functions to assist in cultivation were the greatest utilities of this secret formula for him.


    He didn''t know how long it had passed, the sky was full of stars, and the vast world had never changed since ancient times.


    The open-air Star Gazing Jade Seat was extremely magnificent, and the cool and dark black jade base reflected the bright starlight.


    The young man in the black moon robe slightly closed his eyes, and an incomparably rich mystical energy circulated around his body. A Little starlight fell on the Star Tracing Court¡¯s forbidden array, and was transformed into an endless stream of heaven and earth energy for his cultivation.


    Indistinctly, the ancient white moonlight gently fell onto the young man''s eyebrows.


    A phantom of a beautiful young girl in a snow-white dress slowly appeared. It quietly looked at Ji Yuenian, who was 80% similar in appearance to her, with sadness and pity in her eyes.


    Ji Yuenian didn''t notice it at all, but fell into a dimly lit dream in a trance.


    The snow searched for fire, and the burning lamps fought for darkness, and just like that, the fate was difficult to predict.


    The bright moon was clear and cold, and the river of stars was flooded with unknown waves.


    It seemed like a lifetime ago, youth to old age; a man is nothing but a prisoner in the mirror.


    The constellations rotated, stars lost their shine, and only the song of destiny echoed.

 Ch. 103

    The sky changed colors endlessly, and more than ten days passed with but a snap of the fingers.In the morning hours, when the sun was rising, and the sky was full of ruddy clouds.


    Hum.


    The Star Tracing Token on the table trembled slightly, and mysterious lights circulated endlessly in it.


    Ji Yuenian gently opened his eyes, got off the Star Gazing Jade Seat, and took the Star Tracing Token in his hand.


    A sweet voice came from inside, "Yu Yan of the Guanxia Peak, begs to see Daoist Brother."


    After thinking about it for a while, Ji Yuenian already thought of the pretty blue-haired girl on the stone steps.


    Walking outside the courtyard of the Star Tracing Courtyard and removing the protective light shield of the courtyard, he found Yu Yan dressed in a blue dress, standing gracefully by the side, waiting quietly.


    At that moment, seeing Ji Yuenian leaving the Star Tracing Courtyard, Yu Yan''s eyes were a bit complicated. She bowed and saluted, and said softly, "Yu Yan had seen Daoist Ji Yuenian."


    ¡°Daoist Brother¡± was closer to ¡°fellow Daoist¡±, but different from "Senior Brother". Yu Yan called Ji Yuenian "Daoist Brother", obviously she had an ulterior motive in her heart.


    Ji Yuenian noticed the bright white light perpetually circulating in her palm, and said, "Could it be that Junior Sister Yu is here to fulfill the promise made on the Stone Steps?"


    At the beginning of the Climbing Cloud Stone Steps of the entrance examination, Yu Yan, drunk in her pride, once said that if Ji Yuenian stepped up to the 286 stone steps, she would give him a spiritual weapon.


    She never imagined that Ji Yuenian not only passed the 286th step, but also soared up, broke through the 300 step, and became the eighth person in the Taiyu Holy Sect to do it.


    Yu Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "Is this how Brother Ji Yuenian treats his guests?"


    Ji Yuenian''s eyes were calm. He turned sideways slightly, and let her into the Star Tracing Courtyard. The two walked in one after the other.


    After taking their seats on the Star Gazing Jade Seat, Ji Yuenian flicked his sleeves and said, "Junior Sister Yu is going to observe the ceremony in the ancient city, right?"


    Yu Yan seemed a little surprised. She glanced at Ji Yuenian''s beautiful and fair face, but she didn''t hide her surprise at all. "Brother Ji Yuenian really has a sharp mind; he can even predict my motives."


    After saying this, she turned her eyes back to the face of the black-robed man in front of her, and lowered her head to look at the pitch-black abyss beside the Jade Seat.


    After all, it was a girl whose bone age was not more than ten years old. When she looked at Ji Yuenian in the courtyard here, there was a hint of shyness in her heart.


    Ji Yuenian shook his head slightly, and said, "There are only three days left before we go to the ancient city to observe the ceremony, so it''s almost time to leave."


    Yu Yan was silent for a while, then gently placed the white brilliance in her palm on the table in front of the Star Gazing Jade Seat, and said, "This is a spiritual weapon that I lost to Daoist Brother according to the agreed bet."


    The white light lingering on it slowly dissipated, gradually revealing the true face of this treasure.


    Its whole body hidden in white, with cloud and thunder seal patterns, this spiritual weapon was an extremely rare white jade hairband.


    Ji Yuenian picked up the white jade hairband, felt the power of the forbidden formation contained in it, nodded, and said, "When are you leaving?"


    Yu Yan took one last look at the bottomless black abyss beside the Jade Seat, got up and bowed again. "I have made an appointment with the other three juniors. At noon today, I will be waiting at Tongming Peak. Let''s meet there."


    "Good."


    ...


    With a flick of his sleeves, rich Xuan Qi rolled and circulated, and a spiritual light water mirror condensed out in front of him.


    Ji Yuenian quietly looked at the face in the water mirror that was almost similar to Zhao Yinyue, and endless confusion and bewilderment emerged from the depths of his mind again.


    "Zhao Yinyue, if my hidden true spirit memory is true ..."


    "Then my Ji Yuenian''s Tong Xuan Heart Ghost Bloodline, is it real or not ..."


    Since that day''s dream, Ji Yuenian had many strange and bizarre memories deep in his mind. Like a bystander, he flipped through these memories countless times.


    These memories did not belong to him, but belonged to Zhao Yinyue when she was a child.


    ...


    "Raise the glass to the moon, this life is as beautiful and joyous. As if it were the life of gods."


    Zhao Xingyan swayed, holding a huge wine gourd in his hand, stumbling forward in the moonlight. He held up the wine gourd from time to time to take a swig, his half-drunk eyes were full of complex colors intertwined with satisfaction and decadence.


    In this generation of the Zhao family, there were four sons in the main line. Zhao Xingyan was the eldest son of the Zhao family, but he had never liked to cultivate, and only liked to drink and write poems. He had almost become a joke in the eight inner cities of the ancient city of Taichu.


    "My lord, it''s almost midnight now, so it''s fine to play by the Xishui River, but don''t go in too deep!" Several servants in green clothes followed closely behind him, but there was nothing they could do about the eldest son.


    "Go away, go back!" Zhao Xingyan turned his head and stared, "Otherwise I''ll kill you all right here!"


    "I dare not!" The servants all knelt down on the ground, begging bitterly, "My lord, if you cross the Xishui River, you will be out of the protection range of Tai Chu''s earth god, If there are any evil spirits ..."


    Zhao Xingyan picked up the wine gourd and took a sip of the wine, then pulled out a fine iron longsword with his backhand, and laughed loudly. "Speak, continue to talk, whoever dares to say a word, I will cut off his head to accompany me with the wine! "


    "This ..."


    Several people looked at each other, knowing that Zhao Xingyan was drunk. They hurriedly responded, and only after Zhao Xingyan walked away did they go up far away.


    Besides the Xishui River, it was bone-chilling, and the moonlight was cold. Fear gradually rose in the hearts of these blue-clothed servants.


    Outside the scope of the protection of the righteous gods of heaven and earth, there were too many little demons and ghosts who were not popular, but if ordinary people without cultivation left the territory of Taichu at will, even if they died outside, it was not a rare thing.


    This Xishui River was the boundary river at the extreme west of the Taichu territory, and dozens of miles away was the boundary of the Xiangcheng territory. Within the narrow tens of miles between these two territories, there were countless demon spirits and ghosts that were absolutely unstoppable by ordinary people. S?a??h th? N?velF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    "The eldest son has already passed the Xishui River, what should we do?"


    "Why ... why don''t you follow up and have a look?"


    "What if the eldest son gets drunk and directly chops us off with the sword?"


    After hesitating for a long time, these servants in green clothes stopped by the Xishui River one after another, watching Zhao Xingyan''s figure gradually disappear into the distance.


    ...


    The cold stream gurgled past. Zhao Xingyan sat down on the stone by the stream, picked up a handful of stream water and wiped his face. The cold air brought him out of his stupor, which made him sober up a lot.


    "Where is this!?"


    Looking around, Zhao Xingyan gradually recovered a trace of clarity in his eyes.

 Ch. 104

    ¡°This is the Moon Spirit Remnant Realm.¡±The clear and crisp child¡¯s voice came to his ears.


    Zhao Xingyan raised his eyes to look, and found that just a few feet away from the stream, a girl in a white dress stood while looking at him coldly. Although her voice was immature, it was fully alert.


    Although this girl was only seven or eight years old, her facial features and eyes were so exquisite that even the eldest son Zhao, who had seen countless girls, was a little dazed.


    ¡°Little girl, what is Moon Spirit Remnant Realm, and who are you?¡±


    The girl¡¯s gaze was still cold. She took a step closer, looked down at Zhao Xingyan who was sitting on the ground, and said,¡°Moon Spirit Remnant Realm is Moon Spirit Remnant Realm.¡±


    At that time, Zhao Xingyan was already half awake from his drunkenness, and said with a wry smile, ¡°What difference does it make if you say it or not?¡±


    ¡°This is the small realm where my mother¡¯s true spirit was shattered. She protected me here before she left,¡± the girl¡¯s cold eyes showed sadness. ¡°I am already alone in this realm. After 84,000 years, if no living beings enter the Moon Spirit Remnant Realm, I will be unable to leave forever.¡±


    Zhao Xingyan stood up and looked in all directions, only to realize with horror that there was only a stream under his feet and a bright moon above the extreme sky between this world!


    ¡°Then ... am I considered a living creature? Can I still leave here?¡± Zhao Xingyan couldn¡¯t help but tremble when he thought of what the girl said just now.


    Although he had always been unrestrained and self-proclaimed that he was one of the few, in essence he was still just one of the mortal beings, not much different from most ordinary people.


    The girl smiled lightly, even the bright white moonlight fell on her beautiful pale face. ¡°Naturally.¡±


    Suddenly, the bright moon above the extreme sky turned into a white light, which slowly condensed into the figure of a woman in palace dress.


    Zhao Xingyan was already dumbfounded while looking at the woman in the palace dress, who looked like a banished fairy. She half-kneeled on the ground, and said in a trembling voice, ¡°Could it be that the moon ... the goddess of the moon palace has descended on earth!?¡±


    The woman in palace attire never looked at Zhao Xingyan at all, her figure gradually disintegrated into a bright river of light as she danced lightly with her slender white hands. Then, it transformed into a magnificent and huge light gate in this Moon Spirit Remnant Realm, among which there was a miraculous whirlpool of black and white aura.


    The girl quietly looked at the afterimage of the woman in the palace dress, and her eyes turned moist.


    She knew that this afterimage had no spiritual intelligence, and that Mother¡¯s true spirit had already collapsed inch by inch. Her only remaining obsession was to turn into the Moon Spirit Remnant Realm to protect her, and drift with the waves in the nothingness between heaven and earth.


    Zhao Xingyan, as the eldest son of the Zhao family, a family of cultivators, had extensive knowledge, but the scene in front of him completely went beyond his knowledge. It terrified him, and he pointed at the girl with trembling fingers, and stammered, ¡°Are you a ghost ... Are you a ghost or ... a demon?¡±


    Hearing this, the girl¡¯s icy eyes suddenly turned towards Zhao Xingyan. There was boundless hostility in her pupils, and two noble auras gushed out from her body. This aura made Zhao Xingyan unable to help but kneel down completely. Even his soul trembled subconsciously. s?a??h th? ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Demons, ghosts, how can such lowly creatures be compared with me?¡± The girl raised her head slightly, looking at the emptiness and darkness beyond the Moon Spirit Remnant Realm. ¡°My father lives in the Zhaoming Mountains by the Eastern Sea, and his blood is extremely honorable, it is ...¡±


    Boom!


    A shocking thunderbolt came from the void, struck directly in front of the girl, and suppressed the words that were about to leave her mouth.


    Looking at the gradually dissipating thunder, the girl¡¯s eyes became more and more sad, and she murmured, ¡°That¡¯s all.¡±


    Quiet.


    A chilling silence.


    Trembling, Zhao Xingyan picked up the wine gourd beside him, took a big gulp, his complexion still extremely pale, and said, ¡°What am I going to do now?¡±


    The girl seemed to be in a much lower mood, and all the mysterious aura around her dissipated. She said softly, ¡°Take me out of the Moon Spirit Remnant Realm that is about to be destroyed.¡±


    ¡°You are so terrifying, like a goddess from the sky, you want me, a mortal, to ¡®take¡¯ you away?¡± Zhao Xingyan felt a little more courageous, inexplicably, after taking a few sips of strong wine.


    ¡°After I leave the Moon Spirit Remnant Realm, the memory of my true spirit will be sealed by the residual power of this realm. I will be no different from you, an ordinary person.¡± The girl lowered her eyes, hiding all her true emotions.


    Zhao Xingyan climbed up from the wet and hard soil on the ground, and said, ¡°You mean, you will always follow me after I go out?¡±


    The girl nodded and said, ¡°Until, it has been sixteen years after I¡¯ve left this place.¡±


    ¡°Then, what¡¯s your name?¡± Zhao Xingyan took another sip of wine and settled down.


    ¡°I¡¯m nameless.¡±


    Hearing this, Zhao Xingyan¡¯s heart moved, and he said, ¡°Since you will live with me for sixteen years after leaving this place, how about I choose a name for you?¡±


    The girl looked up at him and said softly, ¡°You deserve it too?¡±


    Zhao Xingyan had met countless girls over the years. Although he had never dealt with girls aged seven or eight, he had a general understanding of their minds after being in contact with them during this period of time. He immediately smiled and said, ¡°But you¡¯ll have lost everything after you leave this place. Why should I support you for sixteen years, and what benefits can you give me?¡±


    But, Zhao Xingyan never thought that although the girl was only seven or eight years old on the outside, she spent more than 80,000 years of extreme loneliness in the Moon Spirit Remnant Realm, and her state of mind was beyond his imagination.


    ¡°During these sixteen years, I will be no different from an ordinary people,¡± the girl said softly. ¡°But you are the creature who entered the Moon Spirit Remnant Realm and led me out. If you die between heaven and earth, your true spirit will be imprisoned by the remaining power of the remnant realm, tormenting you for Yuanhui, and then your true spirit will be crushed, making you disappear forever into nothingness.¡±


    ¡°What is a Yuanhui?¡± Zhao Xingyan looked blank.


    The girl glanced at him and said, ¡°Yuanhui means 129,600 years.¡±


    The Moon Spirit Remnant Realm gradually trembled.


    At the same time, the girl¡¯s eyes also gradually lost their spirit, and there seemed to be a veil covering her pupils.


    ¡°What¡¯s your last name?¡±


    Zhao Xingyan was still staring at her in a daze, and a crisp voice came to his ears.


    Looking back, the girl closed her eyes slightly and was talking to herself.


    ¡°Zhao.¡±


    The girl nodded lightly, her eyes still closed tightly. Zhao Xingyan was rolled up in the snow-white dress, and the two flew towards the black and white light gate one after the other.


    With the complete collapse of the Moon Spirit Remnant Realm, Zhao Xingyan faintly heard the last words spoken by the girl before she lost her memory.


    ¡°Then I will be called Zhao Yinyue for sixteen years.¡±

 Ch. 105 - The Real Realm of the Three Tribulations of Taiyi

    The ancient city of Taichu, the Zhao family.¡°Asshole!¡±


    A crystal clear cup smashed hard on Zhao Xingyan¡¯s head, causing blood to ooze from his pitch-black hair for a short while.


    Zhao Xingyan hugged a newborn girl tightly in his arms. He lowered his head to protect her, and said nothing, even the wine gourd that he never left was thrown several feet away.


    The old man on the throne was furious, and howled like crazy, ¡°Zhao Xingyan, you unfilial bastard. You have disgraced my Zhao family all these years, and today you brought back a kid born from a ghost. You bastard, why don¡¯t you die!¡±


    The rest of the people in the hall all appeared gloating, and Qi Qi looked at Zhao Xingyan who was bowing his head in silence, and secretly rejoiced in his heart.


    There was only a luxuriously dressed woman with tears all over her face. She knelt down on the ground with a plop, cried and said, ¡°Xingyan was also involved, sir, please calm down. If you want to punish, punish me!¡± S~?a??h the N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    The old man picked up all the things at hand and slammed them hard at Zhao Xingyan. He didn¡¯t dare to dodge at all, so he had to use his body to protect the girl in his arms. After a few breaths, his whole body was covered with obvious dark bloodstains and wounds.


    The Zhao family was an aristocratic family that occupied one of the eight inner cities of Taichu. They were well-informed, but no matter what, they couldn¡¯t find where Zhao Xingyan went last night.


    It wasn¡¯t until Zhao Xingyan appeared by the Xishui River with the girl in his arms that the Zhao family¡¯s overnight search for the eldest son gradually subsided.


    Members of the Zhao family asked about the girl¡¯s origin, but Zhao Xingyan hesitated to say anything. Under the intentional or unintentional rumors of a few blue-clothed servants that day, the girl gradually became the child of Zhao Xingyan and a ghost by the Xishui River. The members of the Zhao family couldn¡¯t hold their heads up in the ancient city of Taichu.


    After scolding for a while, the old man seemed a little haggard, sighed. Hooked at Zhao Xingyan who was covered in bruises, and shouted, ¡°Get out of here, don¡¯t be a disgrace!¡±


    When Zhao Xingyan walked to the gate of the palace, the old man¡¯s voice came from behind him again.


    ¡°Go to the Zhao family¡¯s inner mansion to find Zhao Shi and get a few old maids who have been born and raised here. Get lost.¡±


    Zhao Xingyan¡¯s gloomy eyes trembled, and he didn¡¯t turn his head back, but whispered faintly, ¡°Thank you, Patriarch.¡±


    ...


    Another nightmare.


    Zhao Yinyue opened her eyes and looked out through the window lattice. The eternal moonlight shone down, casting a layer of silver light on the desks and beds in the attic.


    After getting off the bed and slowly pushing open the wooden door of the courtyard, the girl hesitated for a moment, then walked towards another courtyard several tens of meters away under the darkness.


    Although she was only five or six years old at that time, but she was unusually sensible.


    But even so, because of his humble status, he was still bullied within the main line of the Zhao family.


    ¡°Father.¡±


    Zhao Yinyue spoke softly.


    The door opened slowly, and Zhao Xingyan¡¯s tired face came into view.


    ¡°Are you having a nightmare again?¡± Zhao Xingyan sighed remorsefully as he stroked the girl¡¯s hair with a generous palm. ¡°It¡¯s all because of my fault that caused you to suffer so much, just sleep here with me, I¡¯m outside the door to keep guard.¡±


    For some reason, Zhao Yinyue¡¯s physique easily attracted the yin qi from the world, and over time, the yin qi from the world caused her nightmares and sneaked into the depths of her soul, corroding and tormenting her mind.


    A few years ago, Zhao Xingyan finally ignited the Grade 5 Heart Fire Sequence and broke through in cultivation. He had a great opportunity to enter the practice of Taiyu Shengzong.


    But for Zhao Yinyue, he waited outside his door almost every night, inhaling all the yin qi from the world into his body, and his whole physique was ruined. Only his Grade 5 Heart Fire Sequence never went out, and he barely maintained his cultivation base of the Xuan Realm.


    Over the past few years, Zhao Xingyan¡¯s soul had gradually been dusted under the erosion of the Yin Qi of the world, and he had already shown some signs of dementia.


    The girl stood quietly on the spot, tears filled her clear eyes at some point.


    ...


    ¡°You lowly thing are not even considered a human being, and you think you deserve the food of the spiritual valley!¡±


    A girl in expensive clothes twisted Zhao Yinyue¡¯s arm fiercely, and caused her to fall on the ground.


    Regardless of the severe pain in her arm, Zhao Yinyue looked up at the bowl of spiritual food thrown into the soil by the girl, trembling crawled over, and grabbed the food mixed with the soil again into the bowl.


    A forged shoe embroidered with gold thread appeared in front of her eyes, stepped on Zhao Yinyue¡¯s pale and slender fingers mercilessly, and even crushed them hard several times.


    Zhao Yinyue lowered her head, her delicate little face was already full of tears, and there was excruciating pain on her fingers from time to time, but she still tried her best not to make a sound.


    The luxuriously clad girl looked down at Zhao Yinyue¡¯s cascading black hair and crystal-clear white earlobes, and became more jealous in her heart. She kicked Zhao Yinyue¡¯s left cheek viciously, and said resentfully, ¡°Bitch! Were you born so lowly to seduce men? That¡¯s right, your mother is an incomparably lewd and lowly ghost, you little bitch can¡¯t do much better!¡±


    ¡°Stop!¡±


    The clear man¡¯s voice came to her ears, and the luxuriously clad girl looked up. A young man in silk clothes walked over quickly, glanced at Zhao Yinyue who was on the ground, and directly bent down to help him up.


    ¡°So it¡¯s Young Master Ji,¡± the girl snorted softly. ¡°Young Master Ji is a guest at Zhao¡¯s house, so I¡¯ll give you some face and spare this little bitch for now.¡±


    Ji Hong turned a deaf ear to her harsh words, just stared blankly at the girl in the snow-white dress, in a daze.


    Zhao Yinyue brushed away Ji Hong¡¯s arm, knelt down and picked up the spiritual rice in the soil one by one into the bowl, and then left the place without looking back.


    ...


    Zhao Xingyan stared at the dirty white-clothed girl in front of him with muddy eyes, and kept making a ¡°ho ho¡± sound.


    Zhao Yinyue re-rinsed the spiritual food in the bowl several times, and gently fed it to Zhao Xingyan¡¯s mouth spoon by spoon.


    ¡°Yue ... Yue¡¯er, eat ¡­ eat.¡± Zhao Xingyan pointed at the little food left in the bowl with trembling hands.


    The girl shook her head. There was a smile on the corner of com¡¯s lips as she said, ¡°I¡¯ve eaten it.¡±


    Under the erosion of the world¡¯s Yin Qi, this eldest son of the Zhao family almost lost all his sanity, and now the only person he could barely recognize was Zhao Yinyue in front of him.


    ...


    Sixteen years later.


    ¡°Li¡¯er, when the memory of your true spirit wakes up, you will be able to break through the five realms in a row. Go straight through the three tribulations, and gain rank in the real realms of the three tribulations of Taiyi. At that time, you will be eligible to go to the East Sea and enter Zhaoming Mountain.¡±


    The murmuring voice faintly echoed in her ears. Zhao Yinyue opened her eyes, which were full of confusion.


    In recent days, there had always been a gentle female voice coming into the mind, but its words had never completed. It seemed that the hidden opportunity had not really arrived.

 Ch. 106

    ¡°Miss Yinyue, the members of the Ji family have arrived.¡±The maid¡¯s respectful voice came from outside the attic.


    Zhao Yinyue was silent for a while, then pushed open the door and walked out.


    In the past few years, there had been many changes in the Zhao family. Not only did the head of the main family die, but the eldest son, Zhao Xingyan, was in a daze, and several other sons died one after another in extremely strange ways. Zhao Xingyan¡¯s nephew, who was born more than ten years ago, was temporarily in charge of the Zhao family and respected Zhao Xingyan as the nominal head of the Zhao family. Zhao Yinyue¡¯s days were much better than before.


    After meeting for the first time that day, Ji Hong from the Anyang Ji family had always been obsessed with Zhao Yinyue, and brought many gifts to propose marriage. The old patriarch Zhao Xingyan had already lost his mind, so she was officially married to Ji¡¯s family.


    ...


    The sky was full of fireworks, and red shine fell all over the place.


    Zhao Yinyue was still dressed in white, sitting quietly on the big red wedding couch. She looked at Ji Hong indifferently.


    Looking at the flawless young girl in front of him, Ji Hong could not bear any profanity in the depths of his heart, as if even touching her slender white hand was a kind of defilement.


    Taking a sip from the wine glass on the table, he gained courage. Ji Hong stepped forward and sat beside Zhao Yinyue, and said, ¡°Yue¡¯er, I ...¡±


    The girl glanced at him casually, but still didn¡¯t say a word.


    But the moment Ji Hong approached, an extremely dangerous omen surged out from the depths of her soul, and even her heart trembled.


    ¡°No! No! No!!!¡±


    The more powerful instinctive voice echoed within her true spirit, but Zhao Yinyue¡¯s pupils were still shrouded in a thin gray veil at that time, and she couldn¡¯t hear the voice in her true spirit¡¯s memory at all.


    It had been sixteen years since she left the Moon Spirit Remnant Realm, and there was still one day left.


    ...


    Zhao Yinyue woke up.


    The gray veil in her eyes had completely dissipated, there was a cool and noble atmosphere around her.


    Countless ancient memories surged from within the true spirit, causing the girl to subconsciously close her silvery moonlight-like eyes.


    But after dozens of breaths, she gently opened her eyes, and the icy coldness permeated in them was enough to overwhelm the sky!


    ...


    ¡°Yue¡¯er?¡±


    Ji Hong¡¯s voice came from behind her, and Zhao Yinyue turned her head suddenly. She was about to crush Ji Hong¡¯s true spirit into pieces.


    But, the Yin Qi from all directions gathered towards her at all times, causing Zhao Yinyue to slowly lower her raised hand.


    Walking straight out of the attic, Zhao Yinyue¡¯s body couldn¡¯t help shaking. Countless memories of the past flickered around her. The glazed curtain of the East Sea, the Zhaoming Mountain Realm, and the figure of the woman in palace attire, condensed into a soft female voice.


    ¡°Li¡¯er, when the memory of your true spirit wakes up, you will be able to break through the five realms in a row, go straight through the three tribulation, and ranks of the three calamities Taiyi. At that time, you will be eligible to go to the Eastern Sea, and enter Zhaoming Mountain. You should devote yourself to cultivation, avenge my wrongdoing. Even if you travel all over this vast and boundless thirty-three heavenly courts, you must still find your father!¡±


    Zhao Yinyue was stunned for a while, then knelt down on the ground, and bowed down towards the direction of the Eastern Sea. Her fair forehead was dipped into the mud, and her long jet-black hair fell down like a waterfall.


    Her Yin body had a defect, so she had already lost the qualification to return to Taiyi.


    The remaining power of the Moon Spirit Remnant Realm had no spirit at all, and it was in an irreversible state from the beginning to the end. Once it couldn¡¯t be poured into Zhao Yinyue¡¯s true spirit, it would completely destroy its true spirit under the violent backlash, leaving no trace of existence.


    ...


    The sun rose and the moon set.


    In recent days, the power of Moon Spirit Remnant Realm had become more and more violent. Zhao Yinyue knew clearly in her heart that her days were numbered.


    But, as the Yin Qi of heaven and earth gradually took shape, Zhao Yinyue¡¯s despairing and dead heart felt a wave of fluctuation again.


    ¡°Yue¡¯er.¡±


    Ji Hong came in with a bowl of ginseng soup, his face was full of worry.


    Zhao Yinyue shook her head and said, ¡°Go out.¡±


    Ji Hong wanted to say something more, but he met the girl¡¯s cold and indifferent gaze, and became speechless at the moment. He quietly exited the courtyard as usual.


    ¡­


    In the dream, she was still the pretty girl in white clothes, sitting on the reef beside the Eastern Sea, looking up at the glazed sea curtain hanging upside down in the sky.


    There were all things that made her happy in Zhaoming Mountain, the giant mysterious tortoise thousands of feet long; the colorful red butterflies that had played with her since she was a child, and even a giant tree that was full of sweet fruits.


    All these ancient pasts emerged one by one before Zhao Yinyue¡¯s eyes, and then dissipated like a cloud of smoke.


    In the blink of an eye, all the pictures disappeared, and the black eyes of the baby in her arms were staring at him firmly.


    Zhao Yinyue looked at the baby¡¯s finely carved white face, with a little pity and sadness in her eyes.


    ¡°I am a cowardly creature after all.¡±


    ¡°I would rather walk away than face it. If I dare not face it, I will never have the ability to face it again.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t blame me for being selfish, don¡¯t blame me for leaving everything to you.¡±


    ¡°Ji Yuenian.¡±


    ...


    After the seventh day of Ji Yuenina¡¯s birth, Zhao Yinyue¡¯s mind and soul were completely extinguished. Her true spirit shattered, and completely disappeared between heaven and the earth.


    ...


    Tongming Peak.


    ¡°Brother Ji Yuenian.¡±


    Yu Yan stepped a crimson flying sword above the polar sky, looked at the huge Luan Bird approaching gradually, and slightly leaned forward.


    This flying sword was obviously a precious spiritual weapon superimposed by the forbidden formation, which could be barely used by the creatures in the Late Stage of Xuan Realm, and was of great value.


    Ji Yuenian stood by the side of the blue feather above Luan Bird¡¯s head, glanced at Yuyan and the three boys and girls beside her, and said, ¡°Junior Sister Yu doesn¡¯t need to be too polite.¡±


    Among the three, two teenagers also stood on a blue-feathered Luan bird, and the other girl stepped on a reinforced spiritual lotus leaf, standing behind Yuyan without saying a word.


    ¡°I have admired Senior Brother Ji for a long time, and seeing him this time, I feel the reputation is indeed well-deserved.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve seen Senior Brother Ji.¡±


    The two youths above the blue-feathered phoenix were both in the Late Stage of Xuan Realm. With a deep and profound aura around them, they were obviously the disciples chosen from among the thousands.


    Even if they showed respect to Ji Yuenian at that time, they were neither humble nor overbearing. They took the initiative to salute only because of his talent of the Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence and the rare and precious Tong Xuan Heart Ghost Bloodline.


    Ji Yuenian didn¡¯t pretend to be lofty, but returned salutes to these people one by one, and the atmosphere of the five people was very harmonious for a while. Only the girl who was stepping on the lotus leaf remained superficial towards Ji Yuenian. She clasped her hands, but still didn¡¯t say a word.


    Yuyan noticed this scene, her expression was a little unnatural. She said with a smile: ¡°Junior Sister Liu has always been like this, please don¡¯t take offense, Daoist Brother.¡±


    A young man above the blue-feathered Luan also said, ¡°Senior brother Ji, I have a proposal, I don¡¯t know if I should say it or not?¡±


    Ji Yuenian nodded slightly at Yuyan first, then looked at the young man, and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, Junior Brother.¡± S~?a??h the N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The five of us who are here to go to the ancient city to represent the Luoxia Mountain Range of the Outer Sect. The lotus leaf of this Junior Sister Liu is a bit ... Why don¡¯t we share a blue-feathered phoenix together? If it¡¯s convenient, what does Senior Brother Ji think?¡±


    There was a bit of sarcasm in the boy¡¯s tone, obviously the girl surnamed Liu didn¡¯t give him a good look just now.

 Ch. 107 - Under the Shouyan Mountain, Whoever Comes is a Guest

    Yu Yan was obviously very familiar with the girl surnamed Liu. Upon hearing this, she couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Wang Yueyang, Junior Sister Liu Qing is not rich, why do you use this to mock her?¡±The young man named Wang Yueyang showed a hint of playfulness in his eyes, and said with a smile, ¡°Sister Yu¡¯s words are wrong. There are hundreds of peaks in the Luoxia Mountain Range. Junior Sister Liu Qing is simple and frugal, but she can¡¯t let down the Outer Sect of the Taiyu Holy Sect!¡±


    ¡°You!¡± Yu Yan choked on words, and stomped her feet fiercely. She was speechless for a while, and subconsciously looked at Ji Yuenian for help.


    Ji Yuenian shook his head slightly, and said, ¡°It seems that there is no need to argue about such trivial matters. The four of you can ride that Luan Bird together.¡±


    Wang Yueyang immediately beamed. He clasped his hands towards Ji Yuenian, and said with a smile, ¡°Then we will follow Brother Ji¡¯s order. Gu Hang, take the two senior sisters over.¡±


    Gu Hang responded, and slowly urged the Luan bird under his feet to lean closer.


    Reluctantly, Yu Yan put away the spiritual sword under her feet, turned her head and whispered something to Liu Qing. Then, the two girls jumped onto the back of Gu Hang¡¯s Luan Bird one after the other.


    Under Tongming Peak, many disciples passing by were all looking up at the two huge Luan birds, their eyes full of admiration.


    After a while, the two Luan birds slowly left the range of Tongming Peak, and flew towards the gate of Luoxia Mountain.


    The wind was howling, and the clouds were misty. s?a??h th? ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Ji Yuenian sat alone beside Luan Bird¡¯s crown feathers, his long jet black hair danced wildly under the chaotic air currents, and an incomparably rich light golden Xuan Qi circulated around his body.


    If one wanted to break into the True Dao Realm, one needed to completely condense the Xuan Sea of the Divine Palace Acupuncture Point into a Xuan core. Gathering spiritual energy was an extremely time-consuming procedure, and it couldn¡¯t be rushed at all.


    Even with Ji Yuenian¡¯s monstrous talents, he had not yet begun to condense the Xuan core at that time. His foundation was too deep, and only by cultivating all the spiritual techniques to the peak of Xuan Realm, could he cultivate a nearly perfect Xuan Core.


    At that time, the spiritual technique used by him was the Great Compassion Mantra of the ¡®Spiritual Mantra¡¯.


    This technique was the most fundamental one, and the rest of the spiritual techniques, such as ¡°Taiyu True Technique¡±, ¡°Qingmu Zhuan Ling Zhen Jue¡± and ¡°Indestructible Body¡±, were all cultivated to the limit of Xuan Realm by Ji Yuenian.


    Only this ¡°Great Compassion Mantra¡± was like a bottomless pit. No matter how much golden Xuan Qi he condensed, there was no sign of it reaching a bottleneck at all.


    After flying through the clouds for several hours, the galaxy above the sky was already shining brightly.


    Another Luan Bird hundreds of feet ahead suddenly slowed down, as if it was faintly waiting for Ji Yuenian.


    The two Luan Bird gradually approached closer. Wang Yueyang turned his head, cast a sound transmission spell amidst the roar of the violent wind, and said loudly to Ji Yuenian, ¡°Senior Brother Ji, ahead seems to be the place where the ceremony is being held, shall we go and have a look?¡±


    Shouyan Mountain was located more than 8,000 miles to the west of the Luoxia Mountains, and it was controlled by a long-standing evil spirit in the realm of gods and spirits. There were many ghosts and demons, and they were extremely prosperous within a radius of 2,000 miles.


    Ji Yuenian knew that they had been lingering in the Luoxia Mountains for a long time, so everyone wanted to see the excitement. This kind of young man¡¯s temperament was very common, so he didn¡¯t say much at the moment, but just nodded at Wang Yueyang from afar.


    For Ji Yuenian, he cultivated wherever he could, and there was no real difference.


    Wang Yueyang looked excited, and from time to time urged Gu Hang to go faster. The two huge Luan Bird gradually flew into the range of Shouyan Mountain, and landed towards the brightly lit sect on the mountainside.


    Shouyan Mountain Sect.


    ¡°Who came here?¡± A middle-aged man at True Dao Realm suddenly raised his head and looked at the two Luan Birds that were slowly descending.


    ¡°This kind of Luan bird can only be found in the Taiyu Holy Sect. Judging from the cultivation bases of those little dolls, they are all in the Xuan Realm. They should be disciples of the Outer Sect in the Luoxia Mountain Range,¡± The young man in white took a sip from his wine glass and said with a soft smile, ¡°Hua Jiang, go and fetch these younger brothers and sisters.¡±


    A young man stood up from the banquet at the table below, clasped his hands and said, ¡°Yes, my lord.¡±


    After saying this, he turned into dozens of incomparably pitch-black yin threads, and swept towards the place where the two Luan birds landed.


    Wang Yueyang looked at the majestic Shouyan Mountain sect, and couldn¡¯t help but praise, ¡°I heard that Shouyan Shangzhen was once a ghost furnace used by a mountain master in the Holy Sect to make alchemy materials. After thousands of years, he has broken through several realms one after another, and now he has obtained the permission of the mountain lord to build a sect by himself. He¡¯s in the Gods and Spirits Realm. What a powerful man.¡±


    Liu Qing, who had been silent all the way, raised his head, and looked at the bustling Shouyan sect. ¡°The righteous god of heaven and earth enshrined in the ceremony here should be the Ancient Mountain God.¡±


    Gu Hang¡¯s complexion changed slightly, and he said, ¡°Could it be that evil god who likes to eat living things?¡±


    ¡°Speak carefully!¡± Yu Yan shot him a side glance. ¡°This is the area under the jurisdiction of the Ancient Mountain God. Although we are disciples of the Taiyu Sect, it doesn¡¯t mean you can call the righteous god of heaven and earth in such a presumptuous manner. It will only bring about death.¡±


    There were countless righteous gods of all levels in Northern Lu Continent, and most of the territories governed by the gods were places where human races lived, because human races were better vessels than other races, and they had more karma.


    But, there were also quite a few gods of heaven and earth who had human races in the territory under their jurisdiction. The karma that such gods of heaven and earth could obtain were extremely rare. If they wanted to be promoted, they could only find their own way. There were not a few righteous gods of heaven and earth who had degenerated into evil gods for promotion.


    ¡°The visitor is a guest. Younger brothers and younger sisters don¡¯t need to be so polite.¡±


    A pitch-black ghostly aura came over, and gradually condensed into the figure of Hua Jiang.


    Wang Yueyang nodded and said with a smile, ¡°I was just passing by, and saw that Shouyan Mountain was holding a ceremony, so I stopped to have a look.¡±


    Hua Jiang looked at them slightly, stretched out his hand as a virtual guide, smiled and said, ¡°Please.¡±


    The ancestor of Shouyan Mountain was Shouyan Shangzhen. His body was that of a ghost. He once worked as a laborer for a master in the Taiyu Holy Sect. Therefore, here, the creatures in Shouyan sect and the disciples of Luoxia Mountain would call each other ¡°Senior Brother¡± and ¡°Junior Brother¡±.


    Taiyu Holy Sect was the only one of the most powerful forces across the Yuanyan Realm. In detail, almost all forces in Yuanyan¡¯s realm were inextricably linked with Taiyu Holy Sect.

 Ch. 108 - Encounter

    After Ji Yuenian stepped down from Luan Bird, Hua Jiang¡¯s complexion changed slightly. He thought for a moment, then stepped forward and said, ¡°This junior brother, you ...¡±Ji Yuenian dissipated the pale golden Xuan Qi surging around him, and said, ¡°Just now I was cultivating a spiritual technique, please forgive me if I disturbed you.¡±


    Hua Jiang took a deep look at Ji Yuenian, didn¡¯t say much, and directly led the five of them towards the courtyard.


    Within that golden Xuan Qi, Hua Jiang sensed an extremely dangerous aura, and despite being in the True Dao Realm, his heart faintly trembled.


    Liu Qing seemed to know the Shouyan Mountain Sect very well. During this short distance of hundreds of feet, she changed her reticence above the Luan Bird and spoke several times in succession.


    Wang Yueyang¡¯s eyes were gloomy, and before he really stepped into the Shouyan Mountain Sect, he said in a casual manner, ¡°I have a spiritual weapon that can detect the aura of the soul, so I accidentally discovered that there is a ghost soul in Junior Sister Liu. Could it be that Junior Sister Liu is actually a descendant of ghost?¡±


    Ghosts and sprites were spurned by others, and they were not eligible to enter the Taiyu Holy Sect to cultivate. However, occasionally some talented mixed bloodlines were included in the Outer Sect¡¯s Luoxia Mountains, and they could embark on the orthodox path of cultivation.


    One of the reasons was that they were not pure ghosts. After years of reproduction, the ghost body was almost gone, only the ghost spirit was still vaguely lingering in the depths of their soul.


    Liu Qing was such a ghost. Her identity was not a secret within the mountain where she belonged. She was taciturn and extremely eccentric.


    At that time, Wang Yueyang directly revealed the information on her bloodline, which made Liu Qing¡¯s face pale to some degree.


    Yu Yan said angrily, ¡°Junior Wang Yueyang, do you have nothing better to do? You actually used a spiritual weapon to test your fellow disciples?¡±


    Gu Hang said quietly, ¡°For those who are not of my race, their Heart Fire must be different. After countless years of inheritance and reproduction, many races such as humans, demons, spirits, and monsters have become mutually recognized groups of creatures. Only ghosts who survive in the dark were not recognized, there must be a reason for it.¡±


    Among the five talents in the Luoxia Mountains who went out to attend the ceremony, Ji Yuenian had the most noble and rare Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline, while Yu Yan belonged to the demon race.


    Gu Hang was a pure human, and Wang Yueyang was a super-talented spirit monster.


    Only Liu Qing here was the blood descendant of ghosts.


    Ji Yuenian was different from her. Although his Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline has the word ghost, it was fundamentally different from ghosts.


    The Tong Xuan Heart Ghost was born after the death of the souls that survived the three tribulation, gathering the Yin Qi of the world. Every newborn Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline descendant possessed terrifying power enough to shake the heavens and the earth.


    Although Zhao Yinyue had a deficiency in her Yin body and had never really cultivated to the true realm of Taiyi, she no longer had to go through the three major tribulations. s?a??h th? Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Under the gathering of the immeasurable Yin energy in Zhao Yinyue¡¯s True Spirit, Ji Yuenian¡¯s blood was directly replaced with the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline. So, his ability to manipulate Yin Qiu was even more powerful than ordinary descendants of the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline.


    Hearing Gu Hang¡¯s words, Yu Yan couldn¡¯t help feeling a little anxious. She said angrily, ¡°Junior Sister Liu has always been kind to others, and she is extremely diligent and thrifty. Why do you all like to expose people¡¯s scars? Is it fun to mock others?¡±


    When Gu Hang uttered the words ¡°ghost¡±, Hua Jiang¡¯s complexion turned slightly gloomy, but he didn¡¯t say anything, and silently endured it.


    At first glance, these five people were the talented disciples of the Luoxia Mountains. As long as the Shouyan Mountain Sect was within the Yuanyan Realm, they would have to rely on the Taiyu Holy Sect to survive. The weak ghosts were not qualified to offend the disciples of the Luoxia Mountain Range.


    ¡°Hua Jiang, why don¡¯t you bring in the Junior Brothers and Sisters?¡±


    The lights under the altar on the west side of the Shouyan Mountain Daoist Temple were brightly lit. Nearly a thousand creatures of all ethnic groups gathered there. The nine banquet tables stretched for tens of feet.


    After all, it was a tyrannical force that had an existence in the realm of the gods and spirits. The Shouyan Mountain Sect developed prosperously in recent years, and it was a hegemon within thousands of miles.


    For this ceremony dedicated to the Ancient Mountain God, the Shouyan Mountain Sect invited almost all the forces, big and small, from far and near. Their presence in the banquet had given Shouyan Mountain a lot of face.


    Hua Jiangyao clasped his hands towards the seat of honor under the altar, and turned around with a smile, ¡°Please, everyone.¡±


    After Hua Jiang entered the altar area, Wang Yueyang and others had a little understanding of the strength of the Shouyan Mountain Sect.


    Nearly a thousand people sat in attendance, and thirty percent of them were in the True Dao Realm, and the surrounding aura was extremely fierce, filled with killing intent.


    Even the hundreds of creatures of various races in the Xuan Realm were surprised to see Wang Yueyang, Gu Hang and the others. Although these creatures had single spiritual technique and even inferior spiritual weapons, their cold and fierce gaze could not be faked at all.


    Hua Jiang led a few people to the altar, bowed to the head and said, ¡°My lord.¡±


    The white-clothed young man was obviously the officiant of this ceremony. He looked at Wang Yueyang and the others, paused his eyes on Ji Yuenian for a while, and said with a smile, ¡°You appear to be in a hurry. Do you have something important to do?¡±


    Wang Yueyang and Gu Hang did not open their mouths, but turned their attention to Ji Yuenian one after another.


    There was an orderly hierarchy within Taiyu Sect, and the rules couldn¡¯t be ignored. Ji Yuenian was the first ranker in the entrance examination, and he also had the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline, so his status was higher than them. In this situation, no one dared to presume command.


    Ji Yuenian made a salute, and said, ¡°A Chen Family¡¯s elder of the ancient city survived the tribulation and successfully broke through to the Gods and Spirits Realm. We were ordered to go to attend and observe the ceremony on behalf of the Outer Sect¡¯s Luoxia Mountain Range.¡±


    The white-clothed boy nodded slightly, and He Xi smiled and said, ¡°I know a thing or two about this, but there¡¯s no need to rush. In this banquet, there is a life-prolonging wine that I am quite proud of. Every drink will prolong life by one year. All juniors can taste it. Come and have a seat!¡±


    Several disciples of Shouyan Mountain walked up to lead Ji Yuenian and the others to sit in the middle of the table, causing the rest of the creatures to look sideways. There were a total of 150 tables in the upper table, and there were more than 300 souls sitting here, almost all of them in the True Dao Realm, but Ji Yuenian and others could sit there with the cultivation base of Xuan Realm. It was enough to show how much the Shouyan Mountain Sect attaches importance to them.


    ¡°It¡¯s you!¡±


    A somewhat surprised voice echoed, and countless eyes looked up.


    In the upper table, there was a young man in Daoist robe who stood up suddenly, and looked at Ji Yuenian in amazement.

 Ch. 109 - The Immortal Caressed My Head, And I Was Given Eternal Life

    Ji Yuenian was silent for a moment, and the figure of the person in front of him gradually overlapped with a fragment in his memory. He said softly, ¡°Taiyu Dao Sect, Bai Yulou?¡±When he had just left the Qingluan Mountains, it was raining heavily, and there were many celestial phenomena and ghosts haunting him.


    It was at that time that Ji Yuenian met Bai Yulou who was out to capture ghosts, and he even received a robe from him as a gift.


    At the time, Bai Yulou claimed to be from the Taiyu Dao Sect. Although there were only a few people in this sect, if one looked closely, it could barely be regarded as a very distant branch of the Taiyu Holy Sect. s?a??h th? N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    "I never expected to meet you here after our parting, brother Ji."


    Bai Yulou led Ji Yuenian to sit beside him, and said with a low smile.


    The Taiyu Dao Sect was not far from Shouyan Mountain, and the Bai Yulou had broken into the True Dao Realm not long ago, so he was naturally within the scope of invitation.


    ¡°Brother Ji has already joined the Taiyu Holy Sect, and has the qualifications to represent the Luoxia Mountains. I¡¯m afraid you have had some fateful encounters.¡± As the eyes of the surroundings gradually moved away, the atmosphere in the banquet returned to normal. Bai Yulou casually set up a sound-proof shield and spoke softly.


    Ji Yuenian was sitting on the same table with Bai Yulou, and a distance of nearly ten feet separated the two of them. He took a sip of the ¡°life-prolonging wine¡± just delivered on the desk, and nodded. ¡°I did have some encounters.¡±


    Bai Yulou didn¡¯t ask any further questions. He just pointed to the wine glass in Ji Yuenian¡¯s hand, and said with a smile, ¡°Only the first three glasses of this wine have the effect of increasing one¡¯s lifespan, drinking too much would be pointless.¡±


    While the two were talking, a man in True Dao Realm, came up from the table on the left with a cup, and smiled towards Bai Yulou. ¡°Brother Bai, I heard that there has always been a conflict between the Taiyu Dao Sect and the Taiyu Holy Sect. But, it looks like you have acquaintances in Taiyu Holy Sect?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a long story,¡± Bai Yulou stood up, turned to Ji Yuenian and said, ¡°This is Ye Xi, the cave master of Yin Mountain, and I¡¯ve known him for a long time.¡±


    Ji Yuenian had a drink with him, and under Bai Yulou¡¯s recommendation, they already got acquainted with each other a bit.


    Since Ji Yuenian was not killed by a ghost that day, he attracted Bai Yulou¡¯s attention. Seeing Ji Yuenian¡¯s ragged clothes, Bai Yulou was moved and gave him a blue Daoist robe, which left a trace of good impression.


    Now when they met again, Ji Yuenian was already a talented disciple in Luoxia Mountain Range. In terms of status, he was a disciple of a sect which surpassed his own.


    ¡°Brother Ji¡¯s appearance is so conspicuous, and I can¡¯t forget it after the farewell that day, so when I saw brother Ji just now, I was able to recognize you at a glance,¡± Bai Yulou raised his glass and laughed. ¡°It¡¯s just that the young master of Shouyan Mountain was just now talking to you, so I didn¡¯t want to intervene.¡±


    Ye Xi, the owner of Yin Mountain, had a strange gaze while looking at Bai Yulou. He appeared quite different from the past, but Ye Xi remained silent.


    In his impression, Bai Yulou had a fierce and ruthless personality, and was even more scheming. Few people made friends with him, even Ye Xi himself talked with him since Yin Mountain was adjacent to the Taiyu Dao Sect. He had known Bai Yulou since childhood.


    But, Bai Yulou¡¯s attitude towards Ji Yuenian almost made Ye Xi¡¯s jaw drop in shock.


    ...


    Years ago.


    ¡°Do you know your real origin?¡±


    The old man stood outside the door of the dilapidated main hall, quietly looking at the Bai Yulou kneeling on the ground in front of him.


    ¡°To confess, Master. I don¡¯t know.¡±


    ¡°Now that you have really ignited your Heart Fire, I¡¯ll return the things that belong to you.¡± The old man sighed, took out a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Bai Yulou, then turned and walked in the hall.


    When Bai Yulou took the brocade handkerchief, and even his hands trembled a little.


    He was adopted by the elder man since he was a child, and he had no parents. Several senior brothers and sisters in the Taiyu Dao Sect were like his parents.


    However, Bai Yulou never complained, and just cultivated silently. He only slept for less than an hour a day, and was almost immersed in boring cultivation for the rest of the time.


    Slowly opening the square brocade handkerchief, Bai Yulou saw a palm-sized jade with a miraculous green light circulating on it.


    ¡°Seeing jade is like seeing people. This is condensed by inheritance and memory, and left to my son Bai Yulou.¡±


    The soft and flat female voice filtered to his ears, like he had heard it countless times in his dreams.


    Bai Yulou¡¯s soul trembled, and tears could not stop streaming from his eyes. He turned speechless.


    Trembling holding the gradually warm jade in his hand, Bai Yulou pressed it tightly against his chest.


    ¡°All things have spirits, and anyone who has the opportunity can transform. I was a humble discipline in Yuan Jingxuan Mountain, but I was lucky enough to be pitied by the gods and given birth to a son who was named Bai Yulou.¡±


    ¡°However, there have been shocking changes since then. Yuan Jingxuan Mountain collapsed once, and the immortals fled. I don¡¯t want to leave, and I will eventually die in this land.¡±


    ¡°A little inheritance of Xuan Mountain is condensed in the jade. I hope my son will succeed in cultivation, survive the three major tribulations, and attain Taiyi, so that he will not suffer from such sad fate.¡±


    ¡°Mandala Flower Demon, Zhiyan.¡±


    The soft female voice was still ringing in his ears, and Bai Yulou knelt down on the ground with tears streaming down her face.


    The sound of destruction faintly remained in the jade, which should be the terrifying scene when Xuan Mountain collapsed.


    But, the woman¡¯s voice was still as calm and gentle as usual, as if she was talking about an extremely ordinary thing. She stood alone amidst the crumbling mountains, and there seemed to be no fear in her heart.


    The jade slowly melted into green liquid, which penetrated into the brows of Bai Yulou, and settled down in the depths of his soul.


    ¡°This is for you.¡± The old man came out from the hall, and put a wooden box in front of Bai Yulou. ¡°This is what was put together with the jade.¡±


    Bai Yulou picked up the wooden box, slowly opened it, and the shrill and vicious howling of ghosts echoed wildly.


    ¡°This is the ghost palm talisman bestowed upon me by an immortal. It can control the ghosts in various celestial phenomena such as thunder, rain, wind, snow, etc. It was originally just a leisure plaything for me, and I will leave it to you today. Maybe it can help you in cultivation.¡± The soft female voice reached to the depths of his mind, stunning him again.


    The old man looked down at Bai Yulou and sighed. ¡°This thing is extremely strange. Although I don¡¯t know what it is, I can vaguely perceive the strong power contained in it, as for whether to refine this thing, the decision is up to you. ¡±


    ¡°Since she wants me to succeed in cultivation and avoid the suffering of reincarnation, I will do what she wants at any cost.¡± Bai Yulou¡¯s eyes showed a trace of hostility, and he directly put his hand into the wooden box.


    Countless translucent ghostly figures hovered upwards, biting Bai Yulou¡¯s flesh and blood, and after a while, only bones remained of his left hand.

 Ch. 110 - Evil God

    Bai Yulou gritted his teeth as the severe pain enough to tear apart the soul washed over him like a tide, and he never moved his arm even a bit.Finally, all the translucent ghosts in the wooden box were immersed into Bai Yulou¡¯s left arm. With the breeze, the empty wooden box gradually drifted away in ashes, leaving no traces behind.


    The old man pondered for a while, then looked down at Bai Yulou who almost fainted. ¡°This power is too evil, if you use it directly without restraint, you will face a backlash, sooner or later. I will try to find a way to help you refine a Spirit banner, and help you suppress the evil energy in your left arm.¡±


    Bai Yulou bowed down and said, ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    ¡°I have neither a Dao Companion nor an heir. I raised you with my own hands. Over the years, you and I have been like father and son. Why should you thank me?¡± The old man had a complicated expression as he lowered his body to help Bai Yulou up.


    ...


    Time was like running water as it passed by quickly.


    ¡°Do you believe in fate?¡±


    The old man¡¯s body was filled with a lifeless spirit, and he sat on the throne, quietly looking at the tear-stained Bai Yulou.


    ¡°Master, I don¡¯t know.¡±


    The old man shook his head with a smile, and said, ¡°Although fate exists, it is invisible and intangible. It is elusive. According to ancient records, there is a god in the sky who controls the stars of fate. If we cultivators offer special sacrifices to the gods, we can forge our own fate to a certain extent.¡±


    Bai Yulou was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and asked, ¡°What do you mean by that, Master?¡±


    The old man waved his sleeve slightly, and a jade talisman condensed out, floating in front of Bai Yulou.


    ¡°I have been trapped in the Late Stage of True Dao Realm for more than 700 years, and there is no possibility of breaking into the Divine Sea Realm. Before I die, I will spend my soul and spirit to do an ancient divination for you.¡±


    ¡°Master!¡± Bai Yulou watched the old man¡¯s complexion quickly turn gray, and hurried forward to hold his arm.


    Gently brushing away Bai Yulou¡¯s hand, the old man smiled and said, ¡°Take this jade talisman and practice hard, don¡¯t let your mother down.¡±


    The jade talisman also trembled slightly, and fell directly into Bai Yulou¡¯s hands.


    Bai Yulou held the jade talisman, and a strange and mysterious aura surged. Above the extreme sky, a majestic and vast power of stars of fate descended, wrapping the jade talisman and sinking into the center of his eyebrows.


    ¡°It will guide you on the right path, follow it.¡±


    When he came back to his senses and looked up, the old man on the throne had already lost his voice, but there was still a serene smile on the corner of his mouth.


    ...


    The dusty past had long been wiped out of his memories. Bai Yulou took a sip of the ¡°Life-prolonging Wine¡±, looked at the bustling Shouyan Sect, and remained silent.


    ¡°How are fellow Daoist¡¯s attainments in alchemy and spirtual techniques?¡± Ye Xi asked after looking at Ji Yuenian. S?a??h the ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Ji Yuenian pondered for a moment, and said, ¡°I understand a little bit, why did fellow Daoist want to know?¡±


    Ye Xi pointed in the direction of the ancient city, and said with a smile, ¡°Fellow Daoist is going to the Chen family of the ancient city, don¡¯t you know that the Alchemy Conference will be held within the territory of ancient city?¡±


    ¡°Alchemy Conference ?¡± Ji Yuenian¡¯s thoughts moved slightly. ¡°I have been practicing in the Luoxia Mountains before, and I have never heard of this matter.¡±


    ¡°After the elders of the Chen family broke into the realm of spirits and gods, the Chen family not only invited countless forces in the Yuanyan realm to watch the ceremony, but also took out two long-lost ancient pill formulas as prizes, and this alchemy ceremony came into being.¡±


    ¡°The Chen family has a saying that if someone within the territory of an ancient city can refine the pill inscribed on their formula, he will be invited into the Chen family, and also grant Cultivation resources. This matter is now popular, and countless creatures want to take this opportunity to enter the Chen family, so they flocked towards the ancient city.¡±


    Bai Yulou put down his wine glass and said with a sneer, ¡°What kind of Alchemy Conference, it¡¯s just an attractive gimmick. The Chen family gave birth to the great power of the realm of the gods and spirits, and it was the time when they expanded their power. It¡¯s just an excuse.¡±


    Everyone could learn alchemy techniques, but it was difficult for everyone to master them.


    Any living being whose Heart Fire was ignited could practice alchemy, and refine various miraculous pills.


    From the most common ¡°Qi Gathering Pill¡±, ¡°Xing Qi Pill¡± and ¡°Juyuan Pill¡± to increase Xuan energy, to the extremely rare ¡°Tongqiao Pill¡± and ¡°Spirit Devouring Pill¡± in the Qingluan Mountains, and other pills with different effects. All pills¡¯ materials and specific pills formula would be required, and the steps were extremely strict. No mistakes could be tolerated at all.


    The two pill formulas that the Chen family took out were not difficult, and the pill materials provided by them were only required the expertise of a man with Heart Fire.


    Ji Yuenian nodded lightly, and said, ¡°Brother Bai¡¯s words are correct. The Chen family¡¯s ¡®Alchemy Conference¡¯ should be a means to recruit Talent and expand their power. Through the Heart fire requirements of this Alchemy Conference, the talented people will be screened out.¡±


    Ye Xi looked at the ancient city with some longing, and sighed. ¡°You, disciples of the sect will never know the hardships of cultivating in the wilderness like me. No matter how you put it, the Chen family now has a cultivator at the realm of the sea of gods and spirits. It would be great if one could enter through the Alchemy Conference.¡±


    Bai Yulou glanced at Ye Xi and fell silent.


    Ye Xi had a Grade 7 Heart Fire Sequene, and it was a fluke to be able to cultivate to the True Dao Realm. He was even ignorant of alchemy techniques.


    ¡°Senior Brother Ji, it¡¯s getting late.¡±


    Wang Yueyang and Gu Hang left the table, walked towards where Ji Yuenian and Bai Yulou were, and bowed their heads in salute.


    Ji Yuenian raised his head to look at the night sky, and it was already the time when the moon was in midheaven.


    Bai Yulou looked playful, stopped Ji Yuenian who was about to get up, and said, ¡°Since the juniors are passing by, why don¡¯t you watch the ceremony?¡±


    Wang Yueyang looked at Bai Yulou solemnly, sensed an extremely dangerous aura from him, and said, ¡°This senior is being polite, I wonder when this ceremony will start?¡±


    ¡°It should be soon.¡±


    While several people were talking, the white-clothed young man in the seat of honor stood up, flicked his sleeves, and said loudly, ¡°For this sacrifice, Ancient Mountain God is here!¡±


    As his words fell, the entire Shouyan Mountain Sect seemed to tremble, and countless demon spirits and ghosts rushed out of the darkness, climbing towards the majestic altar.


    Nearly a thousand creatures on the banquet gradually became quiet, and their eyes were all on the altar.


    If one observed carefully, he would find that these demon spirits and ghosts held creatures of different shapes in their hands. There were people, demons, spirits, and monsters, but there were no ghosts.


    The cultivation bases of these suppressed creatures were not high, and most of them were in the Xuan Realm. They all howled in despair.

 Ch. 111

    What made Gu Hang a little pale was that among the creatures thrown into the altar circle, there were even dozens of ordinary humans, including young girls.Wang Yueyang noticed Gu Hang¡¯s abnormality, looked at him, and couldn¡¯t help but ask weirdly, ¡°Gu Hang, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m ¡­ fine.¡± Gu Hang looked at the dozens of ordinary humans with despairing faces, clenched his hands slightly, but loosened them again after a few breaths.


    ¡°Junior Brother Gu, you and I have known each other for a long time, and Senior Brother Ji is not an outsider, so you can just speak up if you have something to say.¡± Wang Yueyang obviously didn¡¯t want to play charades with him, and there was a little impatience in his tone.


    Gu Hang sighed, and said, ¡°This evil ... God, the habit of eating living things is a bit strange.¡±


    Bai Yulou downed another glass of ¡°Life-prolonging wine¡± and said with a smile, ¡°For hundreds of years, Ancient Mountain God has always been like this, and his taste is also very picky. Different races are mixed together.¡±


    Seeing that Wang Yueyang and others were watching the ceremony, Ji Yuenian had no intention of leaving for a while. He shook his head slightly, sat back on his seat, closed his eyes slightly, and slowly sank into the cultivation.


    If you don¡¯t take small steps, you won¡¯t travel thousands of miles; if you don¡¯t accumulate small streams, you won¡¯t be able to form rivers.


    High cultivation base could not be achieved in a single night. Every time one broke through to a new level, it would take a long time. There had never been any shortcut.


    Even if there were some heretical shortcuts, their foundations were mostly unstable. The cultivation base obtained in this way was like fishing for the moon in water, which would be broken at the touch, and couldn¡¯t stand any tempering at all.


    When the handyman disciple Yinshi started planting the spiritual fields, Ji Yuenian was cultivating. When those rich and wealthy disciples were showing off their might in the mountains, Ji Yuenian was cultivating. While many disciples were whispering to each other and watching all kinds of excitement, Ji Yuenian was still cultivating without distraction.


    Because of the awakening of the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost Bloodline, which contained the Yin Qi of heaven and earth, Ji Yuenian had already progressed quickly, and resting and eating were no longer necessary. Even when Luan Bird was on his way, he was still cultivating, and never slacked off. S?a?ch* Th? ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Boom!


    The monstrous divine power swept down, and a huge figure of a man in black armor condensed.


    This figure was hundreds of feet tall, and the incomparably huge head alone had a radius of more than ten feet.


    ¡°I have seen Ancient Mountain God!¡±


    ¡°I have seen Ancient Mountain God!¡±


    The sound of greeting resounded throughout the world, whether it was the officiant boy in white or the nearly thousand creatures in the banquet, they all lowered their heads respectfully at this time.


    The figure of the man in black armor trembled, his eyes looked into the depths of Shouyan Sect, and he nodded slightly.


    That direction was exactly where Shouyan Mountain Sect lived.


    Among the living beings all over the sky, only Shouyang Mountain, who was in the realm of spirits in the sea of gods, could really have an equal dialogue with this Ancient Mountain God.


    It was just that Shouyan Moutain Sect didn¡¯t appear, not even a reply.


    The phantom of Ancient Mountain God didn¡¯t care, stretched out a big hand, grabbed dozens of creatures of various races on the altar, and threw them directly into his mouth.


    The heart-piercing screams spread throughout the mountains, but they stopped abruptly after a few breaths, leaving only the creepy chewing sound from the mountain-like figure.


    Gu Hang stared at Ancient Mountain God, clenched his palms into fists, and even his body trembled a little.


    Wang Yueyang pulled him hard, and growled. ¡°Gu Hang, what do you want to do?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not that you don¡¯t know that dozens of people in my Gu family were sent as sacrifices to the mouth of the evil god!¡± Gu Hang clenched his teeth, and tears flowed silently from his eyes, ¡°Although this is not the same god, these evil gods deserve to die! I only hate myself for being incompetent, watching these creatures repeat their tragic fate, but there is no way to stop them!¡±


    ¡°Junior Brother Gu, you need to calm down.¡± Wang Yueyang showed helplessness, and turned his head to look at Ji Yuenian who was on the seat for help, but found that the latter had already sunk into his cultivation and had never opened his eyes.


    Wang Yueyang was an extremely rare spirit monster. He grew up in a different environment since he was a child, so he couldn¡¯t understand Gu Hang¡¯s state of mind at this time.


    Ye Xi, Bai Yulou and others on the side looked at Gu Hang with strange eyes, but because they were not familiar with him, they didn¡¯t say anything casually.


    Although ordinary ghosts were despised by people, they were also divided into high and low cultivation levels. It seemed that here in the Shouyan Sect where there was a realm of gods and spirits, even if 70% of the creatures were ghosts, these creatures who came to the banquet still had to be careful. They did not dare to show the slightest hint of contempt.


    ¡°Ghost blood.¡± Bai Yulou said softly, looking sideways at the two girls who had left the table.


    The person he was referring to was Liu Qing beside Yuyan.


    Yu Yan¡¯s face turned hideous. She walked up to Wang Yueyang and Gu Hang three steps at a time, and said, ¡°I¡¯d better leave as soon as possible, this festival is really not interesting.¡±


    Apparently, the fact that the Ancient Mountain God ate living creatures made her very disgusted in her heart.


    Wang Yueyang nodded and said, ¡°There is nothing you can do.¡±


    Gu Hang still stood at the same spot. Staring at the hundred-foot-tall figure in black armor, he bit his lips tightly.


    ¡°Junior Brother Gu Hanggu?¡± Wang Yueyang patted him on the shoulder. ¡°Let¡¯s go and call your Luan Bird.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t go yet.¡± Gu Hang never looked at him, but shook his head slowly. ¡°I want to see the face of this evil god.¡±


    The Ancient Mountain God had always been facing the altar, and from here, they could only vaguely see his side face, and couldn¡¯t see his real face clearly at all.


    ¡°Speak carefully!¡± Wang Yueyang¡¯s complexion changed slightly. ¡°How many times have I told you, don¡¯t say the word ¡®evil god¡¯!¡±


    The huge figure of the Ancient Mountain God paused for a moment. He turned his head slightly, and scanned the vicinity with his dark eyes.


    Gu Hang¡¯s whole body felt cold, as if he was naked under this gaze. He felt as if was seen through from the inside to the outside.


    ¡°Disciple of Taiyu Holy Sect ... that¡¯s all.¡± Teh Ancient Mountain God murmured in a low voice, turned his head again, and continued to reach out to grab the creatures on the altar.


    Both Yu Yan and Liu Qing¡¯s faces were pale, and they broke out in a cold sweat.


    ¡°Gu Hang!¡± Wang Yueyang¡¯s face darkened. ¡°What on earth are you going to do, don¡¯t you even listen to my words!? Brother Ji, Brother Ji!¡±


    The Xuan Qi around Ji Yuenian¡¯s body gradually dissipated, his eyes as deep as stars opened, and he glanced at Wang Yueyang plainly. ¡°Tell me.¡±


    Wang Yueyang pushed Gu Hang hard, and there was still some shock and anger in his tone, ¡°This guy didn¡¯t listen to the advice and uttered nonsense, just now he was almost crushed to death by Ancient Mountain God!¡±


    ¡°Whatever he is doing,¡± Ji Yuenian stood up, flicking his sleeves. ¡°Five of us went to the ancient city to observe the ceremony, there is no distinction between superior and inferior in essence. Even if Gu Hang died here due to his own fault, it is also a choice he himself made.¡±


    Amidst the chirping sound, Luan Bird flapped its wings and came from afar.


    Ji Yuenian was surrounded by Yin Qi from heaven and earth.


    Step by step, he stepped up through the air and reached the top of Luan Bird¡¯s head. The young man in black robe lowered his eyes and said to Baiyu Lou, ¡°Brother Bai, I live in Xingyuan Peak of Luoxia Mountain Range. You can come and find me in your free time.¡±


    Bai Yulou picked up a glass of wine from the table, looked up at Ji Yuenian who was on top of Luan Bird, nodded and smiled, ¡°This cup is my farewell.¡±


    After saying this, he directly drank the wine in the cup, leaving not a single drop.


    Wang Yueyang glanced at Gu Hang, who looked gloomy, and snorted coldly. He directly cast a technique, and flew onto Luan Bird.


    Even Yu Yan and Liu Qing looked at each other, used their spirtual techniques to fly to Luan Bird¡¯s back, and stood a few feet behind Ji Yuenian together with Wang Yueyang.


    Ji Yuenian was noncommittal. He sat on top of Luan Bird¡¯s head. The white jade belt with a thunder pattern on his long black hair fluttered in the wind, and he slightly closed his eyes.


    Luan Bird flapped her wings and gradually moved away, leaving Gu Hang alone in a daze, at a loss.


    After a while, Gu Hang came back to his senses, and with a thought, the Luan Bird flew over from afar.


    Boom!


    Teh Ancient Mountain God turned around, grabbed the spiritual bird of True Dao Realm with a huge palm, and threw it into his mouth very casually.

 Ch. 112

    Gu Hang stared blankly at the huge sky-like figure of the Ancient Mountain God, his lips moved slightly, but he couldn¡¯t even utter a word.Ye Xi suppressed a smile, stepped forward, and patted Gu Hang¡¯s shoulder lightly. He said: ¡°Some acquaintances of mine are going to the Chen family to watch the ceremony. If you still want to go to the ancient city, wait until after this ceremony is over. You can go with them.¡±


    Bai Yulou put down his wine glass, glanced at Gu Hang indifferently, got up and left.


    ¡­


    ¡°Although this Luan Bird owned by Senior Brother Ji is only at the Initial Stage of True Dao Realm, its aura is fierce and strong. It does not lose at all to those spirit birds at the Late Stage of True Dao Realm.¡±


    Standing behind Ji Yuenian, Wang Yueyang looked at the azure crown feathers on top of Qingluan¡¯s head, and gasped in admiration.


    Yu Yan was sitting on Luan Bird¡¯s back, staring at Ji Yuenian¡¯s long black hair in a daze.


    ¡°It has awakened less than 10% of its bloodline.¡± Ji Yuenian didn¡¯t turn his head, and the black moon robe danced in the wind.


    ¡°The bird already begun to awaken its bloodline!¡± Wang Yueyang was taken aback. ¡°Can Senior Brother Ji tell me how one can achieve this?¡±


    The young man turned around slightly, with a strand of jet-black hair hanging down from his fair face, and said softly: ¡°There is a spell in the Spirit Beast Peak, which can refine the primordial energy into the bloodline power of the Luan Bird, accelerating the awakening. The higher the concentration of Qingluan blood, the more primeval stones needed.¡±


    Wang Yueyang¡¯s heart shook. He felt the aura of the Luan Bird under his feet again, and tentatively said, ¡°Could I ask how many primeval stones Brother Ji has spent on this spirit bird to awaken half of its bloodline?¡±


    ¡°Three hundred.¡±


    As soon as the words were spoken, not only Wang Yueyang but even Yu Yan, who was wealthy, and Liu Qing, who had been silent all this time, had a change in their expressions. They were dumbfounded. They all looked at Ji Yuenian who was sitting atop the Luan Bird in extreme shock.


    Three hundred primeval stones!


    That was a huge sum that ordinary people couldn¡¯t even fathom!


    Ji Yuenian had been cultivating in the Xingyuan Peak since the sect¡¯s entrance examination. He had more than nine hundred primeval stones on hand then. Even if he spent more than three hundred on Luan Bird, he still had around six hundred remaining.


    But, spending such a sum to awaken some of Luan Bird¡¯s blood could significantly improve the martial prowess of his spirit bird. And even increase the true combat potential of the Luan Bird. It could completely exceed the ordinary True Dao Realm powerhouse, which would be extremely handy in tight situations.


    ¡°Brother Ji Yuenian sure is rich.¡± Yu Yan¡¯s face was a bit resentful.


    She came from a family of water demons in the Huiyao Mountains. She had a profound background, but she was still a little worried about a spiritual weapon worth more than a hundred primeval stones. She couldn¡¯t help feel lament in her heart.


    Liu Qing was even more envious, and reached out to stroke Luan Bird¡¯s feathers.


    After Wang Yueyang was amazed, he couldn¡¯t help showing a pained look on his face. ¡°Senior Brother Ji, even a high-quality Luan Bird is only worth a hundred of primeval stones. Isn¡¯t it a waste of primeval stones for the Senior Brother to devote so much effort in cultivating it?¡±


    Ji Yuenian shook his head slightly, quietly looking at the misty clouds that were constantly parting in front of Luan Bird, and said, ¡°This bird is different from the rest of the Luan Bird.¡±


    Wang Yueyang opened his mouth, but he didn¡¯t continue to ask. Instead, he took out a jade slip of a map, looked for the specific location of the ancient city.


    The territory of the ancient city was more than ten times larger than the territory of Taichu, and the spiritual energy was extremely strong there. Even if it was compared with the hundreds of peaks in the Luoxia Mountain Range of the Outer Sect, it would not be much worse.


    Yu Yan was silent for a while, as if she had thought of something. She got up and walked to Ji Yuenian¡¯s side, and said in a low voice, ¡°Brother Ji Yuenian, it¡¯s been a long time now, so it stands to reason that Junior Brother Gu should have caught up with us long ago, but he still is nowhere to be seen. Could something unexpected have happened?¡±


    Before Ji Yuenian could speak, Wang Yueyang came over and said angrily, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about Gu Hang! That guy has a Luan Bird protecting him, what can happen? I was almost killed by Gu Hang just now, but Senior Sister Yu actually still cares about him¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense, I didn¡¯t mean that!¡± Yu Yan stammered subconsciously, and took a peek at Ji Yuenian. Seeing that he didn¡¯t care at all, she was slightly relieved.


    After Wang Yueyang¡¯s spoke, Yu Yan felt it was inconvenient to bring it up again, but Gu Hang didn¡¯t catch up for a long time, which still cast a layer of haze in her heart.


    ...


    This was a city where ordinary people lived together, and only one city guard in the Xuan Realm guarded the gate. The guard was someone who had always been indifferent to everything in the city.


    The Land God of Ancient City was different from the Land God of Taichu. All living beings within the territory of the ancient city did not need to worship the Land God, and Luoyan City was no exception.


    In contrast, this Land God had not appeared in front of people for thousands of years. No matter if it was demons, monsters or evil spirits, they could enter the territory without hindrance. As long as they hide their identities well, they would not to be noticed by the people of any big families in the ancient city.


    ¡°Giving spiritual rice out for free, all for free!¡± Loud chants sounded from time to time. In a corner of Luoyan City street, a Daoist priest in sackcloth was sitting behind several heavy cloth bags, surrounded by many people. At that time, more and more people were getting attracted by him.


    ¡°Daoist, is what you said true?¡±


    ¡°The output of spiritual rice near Luoyan City has plummeted in the past two years, and rice is 40% more expensive than in previous years. How could there be a reason to give it away for nothing?¡±


    ¡°He must be a liar!¡±


    ¡°However, those cloth bags do seem to contain densely packed spiritual rice.¡±


    The onlookers were all talking, and looked at the Daoist and the heavy cloth bags in front of him with different eyes.


    Among them, many people wanted to snatch it, but inadvertently saw the long sword sticking out of the Daoist¡¯s waist, and temporarily suppressed the rest of their thoughts.


    The Daoist smiled, opened a cloth bag, and said, ¡°My claim of giving spiritual rice for free is naturally true! But the poor Daoist has a small condition, no matter who it is, as long as they eat a piece of velvet grass, I will give him a catty of spiritual rice for nothing!¡±


    After saying that, a large handful of velvet grass appeared in the palm of his hand, and there was an unpleasant smell on it.


    ¡°Velvet grass is a poisonous weed. Every time you eat one, you will lose one year of life. Even if you kill me, I won¡¯t eat it!¡±


    ¡°Eating a piece of velvet grass can be exchanged for a catty of spiritual rice. What is the intention of this Daoist?¡±


    ¡°This ¡­¡±


    ¡°This Daoist¡¯s motives are suspicious, let us wait and see before taking any decisions.¡± S?a??h the N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°His motivations seem dubious; something that hurts him and benefits others.¡±

 Ch. 113 - False

    The Daoist put all the velvet grass in his hand on a heavy cloth bag, and said with a smile, "The poor Daoist always keeps his word, and he likes to accumulate virtue and do good deeds most of the day, but you can''t lose your sincerity in anything in this world. Although this velvet grass has the effect of reducing lifespan, the more you eat, the more immune you will be to it, so it is just to use this thing to test your sincerity."A middle-aged man in a brocade robe showed disdain, and said with a sneer, "Daoist, don''t talk nonsense here! It''s just a little spiritual rice, give it away as you like, or don''t give it away, why bother putting a vain show of sincerity?"


    As soon as this remark came out, those onlookers responded one after another, and they all looked at Daoist with contempt.


    "Just now, you said that if one eats a piece of this velvet grass, he will get a catty of spiritual rice. Are you serious?" A rough voices said, and a big man in commoner clothes pushed through the crowd and stood in front of the Daoist.


    The Daoist raised his head and glanced at the ragged man with inexplicable eyes. He nodded and said, "Of course it is true!"


    There was a hint of joy on the face of the man, and he directly reached out and grabbed a piece of velvet grass and stuffed it into his mouth.


    "This herb is a poisonous weed. Every time you eat a plant, you will lose one year of life!"


    "There are really people who are not afraid of death!"


    Everyone around was stunned in place, staring at the man, watching his reaction after eating the weed.


    "It''s so sweet!" To everyone''s surprise, the rough clad man closed his eyes and chewed for a while, then opened his intoxicated eyes, and stretched out his hand again to grab the big bunch of velvet grass!


    At that time, a few clever people had seen some clues, and with their eyes rolling, they hurried forward, and within a few breaths, they grabbed all the velvet weeds.


    "Sweet and delicious!"


    "This is definitely not velvet grass! It''s a spiritual grass that can be compared with spiritual rice!"


    "Daoist, is there any more grass?"


    After those smart people ate the velvet weed, they all showed unsatisfactory expressions, and surrounded the Daoist and spoke one after another.


    The corner of Doist''s mouth curled into a smile, and he untied all the cloth bags in front of him.


    One of the cloth bags was filled with dense velvet grass, and all the remaining cloth bags were full of fragrant spiritual rice!


    "This grass is indeed not velvet grass, but a low-level spiritual grass that can prolong life. The poor Daoist just tested your sincerity. Now that I have seen your sincerity, all the spiritual rice here. Everyone, feel free to pick it up!"


    More and more people gathered around, and at that time, after Daoist''s voice fell, there was already an uproar!


    "A lot of spiritual rice! These are all mine!"


    "Give me!"


    "I want those spirit herbs!"


    Countless people frantically flocked towards the opened bags, but the figure of the Daoist unknowingly disappeared into the crowd without any trace.


    The strange thing was that although there were only a few bags, the velvet grass and spiritual rice in it seemed to be inexhaustible. No matter how much people took away from it, the spiritual grass and rice in the bag never hit the bottom.


    Even though some people had already noticed the abnormality here and wanted to take the cloth bags away, they were all shocked to find that those cloth bags seemed to be firmly stuck to the ground by some kind of force, and they couldn''t move even a tiny bit. .


    As more and more people had eaten velvet grass, some changes had gradually taken place in this corner of Luoyan City, and an extremely weird atmosphere spread. More and more people from Luoyan City came here upon hearing the news, crazily scrambling for the inexhaustible spiritual grass and rice in the bag.


    "Edict!"


    With a light reprimand sound coming from a distance, Qingyue''s sword roared, and a young Daoist nun stepped on the sword, looking at the chaos in the Yancheng City under her feet, her complexion changed slightly.


    After seeing those cloth bags, the young nun''s face became even paler, and she hurriedly summoned her Xuan energy and said loudly: "Everyone, stop!"


    Some people from Luoyan City stopped, looking up at the young Daoist nun standing on the sword, more people turned a deaf ear to it. They were frantically scrambling for the spiritual grass and rice in the bag.


    "True water curling clouds!" s?a??h th? N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    While the sword light was whistling, thick rain clouds rushed together from the extreme sky, sweeping away all the people from Luoyan City, and formed a water cloud barrier around the bag. They were completely isolated in it.


    "What are you doing?!" The big man in the cloth shirt who had eaten the velvet grass looked up and shouted at the young Daoist nun, "These spiritual grains are the life-saving rice of Luoyan City. You can¡¯t cut people¡¯s lives like this!¡±


    "The production of spiritual fields and spiritual grains around Luoyan City has become increasingly rare. In the past two years, it has decreased by 30 to 40 percent! This year, there is almost no harvest. If you want to monopolize these rice grains, just kill us!"


    "Cultivators are superior, and they regard ordinary people like me as slaves, pigs and dogs. Finally, a Daoist took pity on us and gave us the spiritual grain, but you want to destroy my life!"


    Countless people from Luoyan City glared at the young Daoist nun. If it was the past, they would never have dared to treat a practitioner who could stand on a sword like this. Bloody didn''t seem to have any sense of fear in his heart, which was extremely weird.


    The young Taoist nun''s face was a bit ugly, and she pinched a trick with her hands. On the rain cloud, there were countless water droplets falling in all directions, which made these people in Luoyan City recover a bit of sobriety.


    "This is not some spiritual grass at all, but a vicious curse insect that can erode the soul!"


    As his voice fell, those cloth bags gradually twisted, and finally turned into several ferocious thorn beasts that were still trembling. Each thorn beast was half the size of a human. The top and bottom were covered with sharp black thorns that emitted a foul smell.


    The young nun looked at the thorn beasts with some trepidation, and continued: "These black worms are called Soul Devouring Thorns, and those black thorns are their larvae. It can be attached to the soul of the living beings and slowly devour it, and transfer all the original power back to the Soul Devouring Thorn curse insect, and the only winners in the end are those who raise these Soul Swallowing Thorns!"


    The surrounding people of Luoyan City were dumbfounded. They blankly stared at those ferocious and terrifying beasts, unable to utter half a sentence.


    Those who had already eaten the larvae turned pale and knelt down on the ground one after another, begging the young Taoist nun: "Please help me!"


    The young nun shook her head slightly, and just about to speak, a gloomy voice came from afar.


    "Who is running amok in my Luoyan City?"


    She looked sideways, and saw a middle-aged man with a sullen complexion approaching the clouds, looking at her coldly.


    "Master City Guard!"


    "I have seen the city guard!"


    After those people from Luoyan City were stunned for a moment, they all bowed down one after another.


    "Lord City Guard, I just passed by here and sensed some vicious spiritual techniques, so I went into the city to find out. I have no other intentions." The Daoist nun lightly cupped her hands.


    "This city belongs to the territory of the ancient city of Ruiri. How can you allow yourself, a wilderness cultivator, to indulge in here!" The sinister man sneered.


    "From my point of view, these thorn beasts are clearly a trick of yours!"

 Ch. 114 - What Year Is It?

    Qiongyu Daozi waved his hands, looking at the dead and silent Luoyan City, he asked, ¡°Do you know what has happened here?¡±The demon general of the True Dao Realm was dumbfounded for a moment, but he could not resist slandering in his heart without showing any expression, and said with an arch of his hand. ¡°Your Royal Highness, I just arrived here, and don''t know what happened in this city.¡±


    ¡°The God of the Cui Ri Land is really slack.¡± Saying this, Daozi Qiongyu sighed, with a look of compassion in his clear eyes, and continued. ¡°The evil spirits spread across the territory, and thousands of the souls of the Luoyan City were killed, the perpetrators didn''t even leave a trace. It''s very abominable.¡±


    A demon creature of the upper realm of True Dao realm stepped forward, and said with a flattering smile: ¡°Your Highness Daozi is indeed kind-hearted, even if you¡¯re not from the Yuanyan realm, you still care about the vastness of the world, which is really admirable.¡±


    By now, the imperial chariot had landed beside Qingluan''s side, and the continuous flattery of words lingered. Qiongyu Daozi always had a friendly smile on his face, nodded slightly from time to time, and there was a faint smile in his eyes just right. The arrogant look fully demonstrated the Taoist¡¯s demeanor of the most powerful sect.


    Walking to Ji Yuenian''s side, Gu Hang looked at Yu Yan and Wang Yueyang who were on Qingluan''s back, asked blankly, "Senior Brother Ji, what happened to Senior Sister Yu and Senior Brother Wang?"


    Ji Yuenian glanced at Qiongyu Daozi strangely, then turned his head to Gu Hang, and said while shaking his head. ¡°It''s not a serious problem.¡±


    Nodding his head, Gu Hang peeked at the starry-eyed Qiongyu Daozi not far away and said enviously: ¡°I never thought that this young Taoist is actually the Daozi of the Royal Thunder Sect, whose status is so noble that it is comparable to that of the Saints of the Six Mountains of the Taiyu Holy Sect. Such a high-ranking person. It is difficult to even meet him in the sky, but Senior Brother Ji seems to be acquainted with him, I really admire him.¡±


    At this moment, Yu Yan and Wang Yueyang woke up one after another, Standing up on Qingluan''s back, their eyes full of bewilderment.


    ¡°Junior Brother Ji and I have known each other for a long time. We can take this Luan Bird to the ancient city of Cui Ri.¡±


    Under the gracious invitation of the demon general, Qiongyu Daozi''s voice came from afar, causing Yu Yan, Wang Yueyang, and Gu Hang to freeze in place at the same time.


    Brother Ji actually met His Royal Highness Daozi of the Royal Thunder Sect!


    However, after thinking about Ji Yuenian''s Tong Xuan Heart Ghost Bloodline, and also his Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence and the identity of his as a Candidate Holy Son, this matter did not seem too difficult to understand.


    Within a few breaths of time, Qiongyu Daozi walked over, while the three had already brainstormed countless images in the depths of their minds.


    ¡°Wang Yueyang has met His Highness Daozi.¡±


    ¡°Yu Yan has met His Highness Daozi.¡±


    The blue-haired girl bowed her head slightly and was well-mannered.


    Yu Yan would never have imagined that not long ago, His Royal Highness Qiongyu Daozi attacked her with a python mantra, which almost directly sent her to the afterlife.


    Taking a seat on the left side of the sky-green crown feather on top of Qingluan''s head, Qiongyu Daozi waved his hands. ¡°The Taiyu Holy Sect has many contacts with the Royal Thunder True Sect, so senior brothers and sisters do not need to be polite.¡± S?a?ch* Th? N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Ji Yuenian also flicked his black sleeve robe, and sat down on the right side of the sky-green crown feather, with a slight movement of his mind, Qingluan''s huge wings flapped slightly, and under the pervasive blue light, it gradually crossed the dilapidated ruins below and headed toward the ancient city of Cui Ri.


    The imperial chariot, which carried demon spirits and ghosts around the Shouyan Mountain Range, also followed, but was always several hundred feet behind Qingluan, to show respect to Qiongyu Daozi.


    Once again, Luoyan City fell into dead silence, and there was silence among the ruined walls.


    A vast and majestic shadow figure appeared, looking down at the tens of thousands of souls who had died brutally, and smiled coldly. Under the rolled-up sleeves, endless divine power surged out, capturing the lifeless flesh and blood of those souls in a place.


    In just a few breaths of time, the flesh and blood of tens of thousands of living beings was completely condensed into a huge blood cell with red brilliance, which was directly taken into the sleeve of this figure.


    The god of the land of the destruction of the sun (Cui Ri).


    It was really strange to see this god who hid in the dark, and had not appeared in front of people for a long time, but at this moment, he suddenly appeared in Luoyan City to capture the flesh and blood of living beings.


    The figure of the God of the Ancient City of Cui Ri gradually faded away, in the light and shadow of the place, the last dissipation was its eyes flooded with divine light.


    Those gazes were freezing and indifferent, making people tremble and shudder at a glance.


    ¡­


    Ancient City of Taichu, Anyang City.


    ¡°My lord, Ji''s family is now in turmoil and on the verge of extinction. When are you coming back?¡±


    Ji Bugui knelt alone in the ancestral shrine in the back hall of Zhenhai Hall, looking at the ancestors'' memorial tablets on which they were enshrined, with a sad expression.


    A chaotic noise came from all around, but he remained kneeling on the spot, as if he hadn''t heard it.


    Not long after, Ji Luoyang walked in with several direct descendants of the Ji family. He couldn''t hold back the excitement on his face, and yelled at Ji Bugui: ¡°Go away! I want to see if there are priemeval stones hidden behind these spirit tablets!¡±


    Ji Bugui spun his head, and fiercely looked at Ji Luoyang, and snapped: ¡°You have already looted all the Ji family''s treasury, and now you still want to overthrow the ancestor''s spirit tablets! If it goes on like this, how will Ji family survive?¡±


    Ji Luoyang stepped forward, kicked Ji Bugui a few feet away, raised his head and laughed loudly: ¡°The Anyang Ji family has thousands of blood relatives, and now there are only seven left. You are still talking to me about Ji''s family''s survival! Come on, move all these spirit tablets for me!¡±


    The Ji family descendants behind him responded one after another, walked up quickly, and moved the spiritual tablets one by one.


    Ji Luoyang was the only one who had advanced to the Xuan realm in Anyang City. Those who disobeyed him had been killed by him long ago, and now the remaining ones were all strong martial artists, and they all followed Ji Luoyang''s lead in everything.


    Blood dripped from the corner of Ji Bugui''s mouth, looking up at the palace roof where the seals engraved on it, he murmured in a low voice: ¡°If the ancestors of the Ji family had spirits, they would show up and put an end to this presumptuous rebellion!¡±


    ¡°Who are you calling a rebel?¡± Ji Luoyang walked over with a grim expression. ¡°The Ji family has declined so much. Could it be because of me?¡±


    ¡°Rebellion is always rebellion.¡± Laying on the cold palace bricks Ji Bugui, barely turned his head to his side, looking at Ji Luoyang his eyes were full of sarcasm. ¡°The ancestors of the Ji family are superior, what is the use of deceiving yourself and others like this?¡±


    Ji Luoyang subconsciously took a look at the spirit tablets that had been moved down, and in a fit of shame and anger, he directly put Xuan Qi in his palm, and slashed down viciously on Ji Bugui''s head!


    In an instant, blood spattered three feet.


    The Ji family''s direct descendants trembled slightly, not daring to look back at all, just moving the ancestors'' spiritual stones quickly.


    After a while, a Ji''s family descendant looked panic-stricken and stammered: ¡°Elder, I can''t move ¡­¡±


    The cold gaze of Ji Luoyang glanced over, causing the first line of the Ji family to kneel on the ground in fright.


    ¡°Elder, I really can''t move it!¡± The other direct descendants also knelt down, with cold sweat oozing from their foreheads from time to time.


    Ji Luoyang looked up and saw that most of the hundreds of ancestor spirit tablets had been removed by now, revealing a scroll hidden behind the ancestral hall.


    It''s just that there was still a spiritual table directly below the scroll that has not been moved, and only three characters were engraved on it.


    Ji Suming.


    The only ancestor in Ji''s family who has cultivated to the Realm of the God Sea Spirit.


    Ji Luoyang''s brows frowned as he tried hard to recall the records about this ancestor.


    After a few breaths, he seemed to have made up his mind, and with a ruthless expression, said with gritted teeth, ¡°Slash it with a sword!¡±


    ¡°Elder, give us a break! In the records of the Ji family, this ancestor is very mysterious. If you move his spirit without authorization, I''m afraid you will die a horrid death!¡±


    Ji Luoyang sneered, pulled out a long sword with his backhand, and pierced directly into the neck of the Ji family descendant: ¡®If you don''t obey my orders, you all will get a good death now!¡±


    As for Ji Suming''s spiritual position, Ji Luoyang has some fear in his heart, he would never move in person if it were not necessary.


    The rest of the Ji family''s descendants looked as white as a sheet and had no choice but to tremblingly raise their long swords and slashed towards the uppermost spiritual position.


    Suddenly, everything in the ancestral hall came to halt.


    The sound of an ancient sigh was imprinted deep into the hearts and minds of the people.


    ¡°It seems like a lifetime away, things are different and people are different. Tonight, what year is it?"

 Ch. 115 - As if it were a different world

    Ji Luoyang looked up at the blue stream of light slowly flowing out from the side of the spiritual tablet, as if he had been cast with a spell of immobilization, just standing there with trembling lips in a daze.¡°Ancestor!¡±


    ¡°Ancestor, spare our lives! We have no intention of offending you!¡±


    Those direct descendants of the Ji family directly threw away the long swords in their hands, and fell to the ground one after another, looking warily at the stream of light converging into a humanoid silhouette, with cold sweat oozing from their foreheads.


    In just a few breaths, the ancestral hall fell dead silent, while the blue light completely condensed out into the human figure, its ancient and indifferent gaze wandered.


    Gritting his teeth tightly, Ji Luoyang forced himself to settle down, strengthened his courage, and said loudly. ¡°Ji Luoyang, Elder Ji, pay homage to our ancestors!¡±


    After saying this, he bowed down like pushing a golden mountain down a jade pillar.


    Instead of looking at him the blue light figure looked out through the roof of the ancestral hall, and in a few moments he scanned the whole ancient city of Tai Chu, and sighed softly: ¡°I have only slept for a while, but I never thought that the Ji family would wither to this extent, it is no different from its destruction.¡±


    ¡°Ancestor!¡± Ji Luoyang came back to his senses at this time, rolled his eyes, stood up directly, pointing at Ji Bugui and others who had lost their voices and said, ¡°These years have been eventful years for the Ji family, not only the land gods have put pressure on one after another, but the infighting has been quite frequent. These are all rebels! It¡¯s really pity, there are only a few people left in the Ji family now, if the ancestor hadn¡¯t woken up again, the Ji family would¡¯ve been overthrown¡±


    The blue-lighted figure glanced at him casually, Ji Luoyang felt as if he had stepped into an ice cave and was being seen through. He didn''t dare to continue talking nonsense, but closed his mouth, and retreated to the side.


    ¡°The Ji family''s situation has something to do with me. You don''t need to blame yourself too much.¡± The blue light figure flicked his sleeve, his appearance became more and more corporeal, and the surrounding aura gradually became more terrifying.


    In fact, Ji Luoyang''s true thoughts have long been glimpsed by this blue-light figure, but the matter has already come to this point, with only a few Ji family''s blood descendants left. If they were killed again, the Ji family would truly exist in name only.


    Meanwhile, in the extreme sky above Anyang City, a slender figure in white clothes condensed out, gazing intently at the spot where Ji Ancestral Hall is located, and saying to himself. ¡°It''s the aura of the Realm of the God Sea Spirit, how is this possible?¡±


    The blue light figure in the ancestral hall seemed to have sensed it, and when the light flowed, it directly disappeared to the side of the spirit seat, and the next moment it appeared a few feet in front of the Shen Xue Land God.


    ¡°Are you the Land God of the Tai Chu Territory?¡± The blue light figure glanced at Shen Xue''s Land God, and he already had some calculations in his heart, so he spoke first.


    ¡°I greet fellow Daoist.¡± Sensing the terrifying power hidden in the blue light figure, Shen Xue Land God, heart was secretly shaken, she cupped her hands and saluted, ¡°I wonder where my friend is from. What business do you have in Tai Chu?¡±


    The blue light figure laughed lightly and said. ¡°I am Ji family¡¯s Ji Suming. A long time ago, I used a method to prolong my life. Although I increased my lifespan a lot, it also caused some setbacks. That''s why I have been sleeping until now, and just woke up just a few breaths earlier.¡±


    ¡°Ji''s family ¡­ Ji Suming ¡­¡±


    Shen Xue, muttered in a low voice, thought for a while, then suddenly raised her head and exclaimed: ¡°Could it be that you are the one in the records of the God Seal who killed a ninth-rank righteous god of heaven and earth with just one spell?¡± S?a?ch* Th? N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Ji Suming playfully glanced at Shen Xue, and said, ¡°Has this matter been branded into the seal of righteous gods in the Yuanyan Realm? It seems that Ji has not been completely forgotten.¡±


    ¡°The Taoist friend must be kidding.¡± Shen Xue said with a smug smile, but she was very vigilant in her mind. ¡°It turns out that Anyang Ji''s family is the bloodline inheritance of Fellow Daoist. If I had known about this, I would have taken good care of the Ji family and not let it end up in such a situation.¡±


    In the divine seal record, Ji Suming was once a mighty power in the upper realm of of divine sea embodied spirit, and the most amazing thing he did was to go to Xiangcheng territory alone and cast a spell that directly killed the land god of the Xiangcheng territory, shocking the entire Yuanyan Realm.


    It would be fine if the positions of the gods within the territory of Taichu seemed to change. But the Land God was attacked and killed by the living creatures within the territory, which was something that many righteous gods of heaven and earth could not tolerate. Even the Yuan Yan City God was so enraged that he descended to the Xiangcheng territory, intending to personally take action to suppress Ji Suming.


    If it were not for the great powers within the Taiyu Holy Sect who intervened for him, so that Ji Suming would not have been crushed to death by the Yuanyan City God, Ji Suming would have ceased to exist at this time.


    Yuanyan was located in the northern corner of the Luzhou border. It was remote, and barren. There are very few creatures who have cultivated to the upper realm of Divine Sea Embodiment Realm, and the spirit cultivator like Ji Suming was even more precious, so the Taiyu Holy Clan saved Ji Suming from the Yuanyan City God after many considerations.


    In the subsequent meeting, Ji Suming was able to live up to his mission. Together with the several saints of the Taiyao Holy Sect He won the 175th seat for various powers in the Yuanyan realm.


    Prior to this, Yuanyan Realm hadn''t even entered the first two hundred seats, and this one hundred and seventy-fifth seat was already the highest seat Yuanyan Realm had obtained in the Taoist Gathering.


    It''s just that after the return of the Taoist Association, Ji Suming gradually disappeared from the scene. As time passed, no one knew his real whereabouts. Only in the canonical texts of the Taiyao Holy Sect could we find a very short entry about him.


    ¡°Ji Suming, cultivator in the Yuanyan Realm, cultivated to the upper Divine Sea Embodiment realm, and with luck gained a lot of opportunities, but the reputation was not obvious, and has been in seclusion ever since.¡±


    This time Shen Xue didn¡¯t conceal her whereabouts, so the spirits within the eight inner cities of True Dao Realm were aware of Land God''s incarnation descending on Anyang City, and countless eyes looked towards this place.


    Inside the Crane Cloud Temple in Tun Yun City, Daoist He Xuan looked even more dignified, armed with a giant sword magic weapon, hurried towards Anyang City.


    Every time Shen Xue descended, nothing good happens. Daoist He Xuan had long been accustomed to this, but Shen Xue''s Land God was now a justifiable God of Heaven and Earth in the Taichu Territory, and it stood to reason that he should not hurt the creatures within the territory.


    ¡°Now there are only a few members of the Ji family left. One of them said that it was the evil gods in the Taichu territory that put pressure on the Ji family from time to time, which made the Ji family fall to this point. I wonder if this is true?¡±


    When Ji Suming''s light words filtered into her ears, Shen Xue shook to the core.


    ¡°There is absolutely no such thing!¡± Shen Xue settled down, shook her head repeatedly, and flipped her palm to condense a light screen, ¡°This matter has quite a bit of twists and turns, the details of which Daoist will know at a glance!¡±

 Ch. 116

    The scene that appeared in the light curtain was from the time when Ji Quexue was possessed by the remnant spirit of the Righteous God, until Shen Xue took out 30% of the divine power and gave it to Anyang Ji''s family to end the causality.After a few breaths, Ji Suming nodded slightly, and said: ¡°Shex Xue, I have just woken up, and have to go to Taiyu Holy Sect. Regarding the Ji''s family affairs in Anyang, I hope that the Land God will take care of it for me for the time being.¡±


    Shen Xue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, cupped her hands and said with a smile. ¡°Fellow Daoist, just go ahead with no worries. With my protection here, the rest of Anyang Ji''s family will be safe and sound.¡±


    Ji Suming was noncommittal about her answer, and the blue light around his body gradually turned into a blazing blue rainbow, soaring upwards, towards the sky dome where the six mountains and three realms of Taiyu Holy Sect were located.


    ¡°I have seen the Land God!¡±


    ¡°I''ve seen the Land God, the revered deity!¡±


    After greeting, they all showed their puzzlement, but no one asked any questions first.


    Many at the True Dao Realm came one after another and greeted Shen Xue. By the time they came here, they only saw the incarnation of the Land God, who was standing quietly in the extreme sky. After the initial greeting, they were all quite puzzled by his sudden incarnation, but no one asked questions first.


    At this moment, a giant purple sword whistled from afar, and the person standing in it was the True Dao Realm. He was Daoist He Xuan in Crane Cloud Temple.


    Daoist He Xuan was guarding the Ancient City of Taichu on behalf of the Taiyu Sacred Emperor. At this moment, he slowly stopped, before the Shen Xue on a prominent place and greeted: ¡°He Xuan has seen Shen Xue. But I wonder what¡¯s going on, that your incarnation is here at this time?¡±


    He used the word "This time", obviously complaining about the Land God, but as a disciple of the Taiyu Holy Sect, he couldn''t ignore the matter of the Land God''s incarnation, so he just pricked her with a few painless words.


    But instead of answering, Shen Xue just looked down at these True Dao creatures in the Taichu territory, then her gaze paused on Daoist He Xuan, and after a brief silence she asked: ¡°Among you peoples, who took part in dividing up the Ji family''s spirit valley and spirit field?¡±


    Hearing these words, the souls who were present were all stunned. Among them, several True Dao aristocratic families who took part in the incident had a change in complexion slightly, and their eyes were filled with incomparably full of doubts.


    The righteous god of heaven and earth protects the creatures on one side, rarely shows up, and almost never intervenes in the territory''s affairs. This time, Shen Xue suddenly asked about this matter, which made these creatures a bit overwhelmed and momentarily unresponsive.


    Daoist He Xuan''s mind churned rapidly, after a little thought, stepped forward and asked: ¡°Why is the Land God curious over such a matter?¡±


    In the midst of the people''s searching eyes, the Land God above the extreme sky shook her head slightly, and her figure in white clothes gradually faded away, leaving only an incomparably cold voice that spread throughout the world.


    ¡°Anyone who took part in the incident must pay back double within an hour, otherwise," the voice paused. "Their names will be removed from the Taichu territory.¡±


    After a brief silence, what followed was an uproar below.


    "This Land God is so domineering!"


    ¡°She¡¯s just an imposter evil god, when did it become her turn to give orders in Taichu territory?¡±


    ¡°Giving back double? That''s nonsense! The Ji family only existed in name only, and all that was left were only two or three big cats and kittens. Whom should we hand over so many spirit valleys and fields worth of goods?¡±


    ¡°Don''t listen to this evil god¡¯s nonsense. At most, she can only show off her quick tongue. As the righteous god of heaven and earth in this territory, she can''t make a move against us!¡±


    Once it touched their own interests, these creatures in the True Dao Realm all behaved as if their tails had been stepped on. They no longer had the respect for this Shen Xue, and their words were full of hostility.


    Among them, only Daoist He Xuan stood quietly on his sword without saying a word, frowning and pondering over her words.


    Noticing his abnormality, Patriarch Zhao leaned over with his magic treasure, and asked with a smile: "Brother He Xuan, what do you think of Shen Xue¡¯s words just now?"


    Glancing at him sideways, Daoist He Xuan said indifferently: ¡°As far as I know, Ji Yuenian, who ranked first in the entrance examination, is a blood relative of your Zhao family. Is this true?¡±


    ¡°It''s true.¡± Hearing this, the Zhao family Patriarch looked a little unnatural. ¡°The person who came back with Ji Yuenian on a blue-feathered Luan Bird was Zhao Xiao Yun.¡±


    Hearing this Daoist He Xuan''s eyes were a little puzzled: "Since there is such a blood relationship, why did the Zhao family under the control of the Daoist friend seize nearly half of the Ji family''s spiritual land?" S?a??h th? N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    The Patriarch Zhao was slightly taken aback, and laughed dryly: "Ji Yuenian is now a demonic genius within the Luoxia Mountain Range, whose status is beyond our reach. So why would he care about this little property? Instead of being cheap to other families, let his dear uncle keep it for him. If he asks for it one day, I¡¯ll definitely give all the Ji family''s former property.¡±


    From his words, it was very obvious that he had no intention of listening to the words of the Land God Shen Xue.


    Daoist He Xuan snickered. "Fellow Daoist, I advise you to do what Land God Shen Xue has asked you to do."


    With that, he left Anyang City and headed back toward the direction of Crane Cloud Temple in Tun Yun City.


    Tun Yun City had a special status among the eight inner cities, and did not take part in the division of the Ji family''s property. Daoist He Xuan, as a creature of the True Dao Realm, had a faint sense of the aura emanating from Ji Sumings''s vitality. At this time he had faintly guessed the hidden crux of the matter, and couldn''t help but silently mourn for these greedy and aristocratic families in his heart.


    Meanwhile, the remaining people present conveyed their thoughts one after another.


    ¡°Fellow Daoists, this evil god has now attained the position in Taichu. Why don¡¯t we wait and see? There is no need to be afraid of her!¡±


    ¡°That''s true!¡±


    ¡°This Anyang City is lifeless. I don''t want to stay here longer!¡±


    ¡°Let''s go! Let''s go!¡±


    After a few moments of communication between the spirits of the True Dao Realm, they all left Anyang City with no concern.


    Only the Zhao family Patriarch looked far away in the direction where Daoist He Xuan left, with a faint haze covering the depths of his gaze.


    The interests that were already in hand could never be ceded. Even if the person who had spoken was the present Land God of Taichu territory, it was not possible.


    However, this matter is really too sudden. There must be some hidden details that I am not aware of. Taoist He Xuan''s attitude is also somewhat ambiguous, and he deliberately did not say it clearly. It is really extremely hateful.


    Shaking his head, the Zhao family patriarch stopped thinking about it, concealed the haze in his eyes, and left the place.


    ...


    ¡°Junior Brother Ji, I have something to ask.¡±


    Qiong Yu Daozi sat on the right side of sky green crown feathers, and casually set up a soundproof light curtain, enveloping him and Ji Yuenian in it.


    Ji Yuenian glanced at Wang Yueyang, Gu Hang, and Yu Yan, who were unaware, and said softly, "Brother, there is no harm in talking."


    ¡°The mysterious Xuan Sea and Qi in my body can be transformed into a black poisonous mist. Is it because I have practiced an extremely rare supernatural power.¡± Qiong Yu Daozi looked sideways at Ji Yuenian''s beautiful and fair face with playful eyes, ¡°In my sense, Junior Brother Ji has a Yin Qi of heaven and earth in his body that makes me a little cautious, but Yin Qi and Xuan Qi cannot coexist at all in normal times. Does Junior Brother Ji also have such a precious spell?¡±


    Ji Yuenian raised his head slightly, and the depths of his eyes gradually glowed with a black gleam.


    Daozi Qiong Yu stretched out his hand to support Qing Luan''s magnificent crown feather, and said with a smile: ¡°Junior Brother Ji, don''t think too much, if Junior Brother really has this divine ability, I would like to exchange this spell of mine with Junior Brother. There must be something in common between these two spells, so it will be beneficial to both of you and me.¡±

 Ch. 117 - The Amazing Rainbow

    Ji Yuenian shook his head lightly and said. ¡°I think Senior Brother has some misunderstanding. This Yin Qi is not from cultivation, but from the depths of my bloodline.¡±Hearing his words, Qiong Yu Daozi became more solemn, he once again re-examined and said slowly: ¡°If you can have such a rich Yin Qi of heaven and earth in your bloodline, are you the descendant of a Tong Xuan Heart Ghost?¡±


    After being silent for a while, Ji Yuenian stretched out his slender and fair fingers, where a small ball of pitch-black fire gradually condensed at his fingertips, on which wisps of heaven and earth Yin Qi spread out.


    ¡°It''s really the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost Bloodline!¡± Looking at the gradually disintegrating pitch-black light ball, Qiong Yu was astonished, and his gaze towards Ji Yuenian gradually changed a little.


    If Ji Yuenian only had the Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence, although it was also an achievement that was worth getting to know him, yet it couldn¡¯t still reach to the point of where he would treat him as an equal. After all, there was a difference between a Daoist and Holy Son monstrous talents. Everyone had their own destiny and luck.


    With Qiong Yu Daozi doing his best, even the creatures of the True Dao Realm may not be his opponents, only the Realm of the God Sea Spirit could barely suppress him.


    But now, he knew that Ji Yuenian was a descendant of the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline who had ignited the Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence, and was the Holy Son of the Taiyu Holy Sect. So Qiong Yu Daozi''s attitude toward Ji Yuenian was bound to change dramatically.


    Although the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost was called a ghost, it was not an actual ghost. Rather, this was a divine creature created from the fragments of the genuine spirit that were reunited by the power of heaven and earth after the destruction of the living soul during the three calamities.


    Once this creature was born, it would possess the terrifying cultivation level of the Three Calamities Taiyi True Realm, and the descendants born by the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost were called the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline descendants.


    The descendants of the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline were born with the ability to manipulate the Yin Qi of heaven and earth, and the Heart Fires they ignited were at least at the 4th or 5th Grade. The most enviable thing was that if a descendant did not die prematurely, it would not be difficult for the descendant to reach the Realm of the Gods and Spirits.


    ¡°Wang Yueyang, I always feel like I''ve lost a memory. Do you feel the same?¡± Yu Yan asked while looking at Ji Yuenian and Qiong Yu Daozi who were above Qingluan''s head, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.


    Following her gaze, Wang Yueyang was silent for a moment, and said: ¡°This Qiong Yu Daozi appeared extremely abrupt, even if you and I have a problem with our memory, it should be when we passed Luoyan City.¡±


    Yu Yan was a descendant of the first-class water demon, and Wang Yueyang was an extremely rare spirit monster. The soul perception of the two was extremely sharp, even though Qiong Yu Daozi cast a spell to obscure the memory, Wang Yueyang and Yu Yan were still able to vaguely detect it.


    ¡°When I catch up on the imperial chariot from the Shouyan Mountain Range, you and Sister Yu both fainted on Qingluan''s back, unconscious.¡± As thought of something Gu Hang said to Wang Yueyang, ¡°And that Qiong Yu Daozi seemed to talk to Brother Ji at that time."


    ¡°In my opinion, we should not think too much about this matter.¡± Yu Yan shook her head slightly, looking solemnly at the young man in the blue Daoist robe not far away. ¡°His Royal Highness Qiong Yu Daozi is extremely terrifying. If he really wants to strike at us, I''m afraid a spell will suffice.¡±


    Instead of speaking Wang Yueyang lowered his head and after a few breaths, he slowly raised his head, his face has lost all its color: ¡°I just realized that the blood amulet, which was bestowed upon me by my family, has completely shattered!¡±


    Hearing this, Yu Yan''s eyes flickered, as sensing something, she turned her head and said: ¡°My original blood power has also consumed as much as 70%, apparently I was already on the verge of collapse, and was even forced to cast a protective divine ability, but I have no memory of this.¡±


    "In that case, your memory must have been tampered with!" Gu Hang was a little flustered, and said in a frightened voice, "What should we do now? Should we report it to Senior Brother Ji?"


    Wang Yueyang fiercely patted Gu Hang''s shoulder, looking at Ji Yuenian and Qiong Yu Daozi, who were sitting on the top of Qingluan''s head, and growled, ¡°Shut up!¡±


    Yu Yan''s complexion also turned cold, and said to Gu Hang, ¡°Maybe Brother Ji Yuenian is also involved in this matter. Hold back your thoughts for now. Don''t act rashly, so as not to get yourself killed¡±


    Meanwhile, the soundproof shields beside Ji Yuenian and Qiong Yu Daozi gradually faded away, and the young man in a dark black moon robe stood up and headed towards where the three of them were.


    Gu Hang lowered his eyes, not daring to look up at Ji Yuenian. Yu Yan and Wang Yueyang also looked a little unnatural, they stood up and saluted. ¡°Senior Brother Ji.¡±


    ¡°Brother Ji Yuenian.¡±


    Ji Yuenian glanced at the three of them, then his eyes finally fell on Wang Yueyang, and said softly: ¡°Junior Brother Wang, the map jade slip is with you, take it out and examine it carefully to see where this place is.¡±


    Wang Yueyang secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, while taking out the map jade slip, he asked, "Qingluan is a spirit bird carefully cultivated by Lingshou Peak, so it should know the way to the Ancient City of Cui Ri."


    Gu Hang and Yu Yan, who were on the side, had long frozen in place, staring blankly at the scene outside the spiritual light around Qingluan, dumbfounded.


    Ji Yuenian pointed to the completely dimmed sky, and said, ¡°I don''t know where we''ve strayed. Even I can not identify the direction.¡±


    Daozi Qiong Yu came over, with a rare look of deep concern, and asked. ¡°Junior Brother Ji, have you ever taken out the jade map?¡±


    Wang Yueyang also noticed the changes in the scene around Qingluan, tremblingly handing over the map jade slip in his hand to Ji Yuenian.


    At some point, the sun, moon, and stars above the sky disappeared, and even the boundless sea of ??clouds disappeared without a trace, leaving only a daunting darkness in all directions.


    Ji Yuenian used Taiyu Xuan Qi to activate the Map Jade Slip, and tried several times, but there was no reaction from it. Such a strange situation made the expressions of Wang Yueyang, Gu Hang and others look more and more frightened.


    ¡°Even the map jade slips have lost its effectiveness?¡± Qiong Yu Daozi looked back at the endless darkness behind Qingluan, and said in a deep voice. ¡°The Demon General Luanjia who has been following behind us has also disappeared.¡±


    ¡°Your Highness Daozi, what kind of hell is this place?¡± Gu Hang calmed himself down and boldly stepped forward to ask, ¡°I tried it just now, and the transmission jade talisman has also lost its sense.¡±


    Qiong Yu Daozi glanced at him, shook his head slightly. ¡°I don''t know either.¡±


    A magnificent and bright azure surrounded Qingluan''s body, which was extremely dazzling in this deep and endless darkness.


    ¡°Don''t fly anymore.¡± Ji Yuenian walked to the top of Qingluan''s head, and said softly, ¡°Stay here for now.¡±


    Qingluan stopped flapping her wings and slowly halted in the darkness.


    Qiong Yu Daozi glanced sideways at Ji Yuenian, and said in a low voice, "Junior Brother Ji, did you notice something?"


    Ji Yuenian nodded, and said, "Senior brother must have noticed it too."


    Gu Hang, Yu Yan and Wang Yueyang all looked at Qiong Yu Daozi with blank eyes. s?a??h th? N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Qiong Yu Daozi made a gesture with both hands, and while the Zhan Qing¡¯s robe danced lightly, a blazing rainbow light pierced the darkness roared, completely illuminating the darkness within a thousand feet.


    ¡°What¡¯s that!!!¡±


    Tens of feet away from Qingluan, there was an enormous creature lurking quietly in the darkness. Yu Yan screamed in terror.


    Wang Yueyang and Gu Hang also went pale and stared blankly at the thing in the darkness, trembling all over.

 Ch. 118

    The creature that was standing in front was the Land God, more than 130 feet tall.It''s just that the Land God''s huge body was riddled with holes. Countless ferocious fangs spread from the edge of those wounds. On each sharp fang, there were countless pitch-black worms slowly crawling on it, exuding an extremely evil and ferocious aura.


    Under the reflection of the blazing rainbow light, this Land God''s snow-white eyes gradually snapped. One by one, white fangs pierced out from inside his pupils. After a few breaths, it also gradually gave birth to unknown pitch-black worms, making the aura around him even more ferocious and terrifying.


    ¡°Land God of Cui Ri!¡±


    ¡°But how did this god become like this?!¡±


    ¡°It''s not the Land God of CuiRi.¡± Qiong Yu waved his hand, interrupting the panic-stricken Gu Hang and Yu Yan, and said in a deep voice. ¡°I can even conclude that the Land God of Cui Ri has long since died. His divine seal has split into several pieces, leaving only a few hidden evil gods in the Cui Ri Territory today!¡±


    ¡°This thing seems to be a some evil entity!¡± Wang Yueyang was already in a state of turmoil under the continuous changes, and turned to Ji Yuenian and Qiong Yu Daozi for help, "Senior brothers, what should we do!"


    Roar!


    The ferocious maw of the Land God opened wide, and thousands of pitch-black insects flew out of its mouth, turning into an extremely thick and terrifying cloud of insects, whining with venomous discontent, hurtling towards Qingluan.


    Under the stirring of divine power, the speed of the insect cloud increased even more. Even if Qingluan was a spirit bird in the True Dao Realm, it had no time to react, and within a moment it was wrapped in the pitch-black insect cloud.


    Neh!


    Following the clear hissing sound, which pierced the darkness, there was a bright blue light shot up into the sky. A long and gorgeous flame tail shot out of the worm cloud, and raced towards the darkness in the distance.


    This blue-feathered Luan Bird has awakened a bit of the Qingluan bloodline, and with all its strength this time, it barely escaped from the relentless onslaught of the insect cloud.


    Ji Yuenian stood on top of Qingluan''s head, the wind roared beside him, causing his black robe to flutter up, his eyes were extremely calm, and said: ¡°Qingluan is on the verge of exhaustion. Everyone, please get ready.¡±


    ¡°Get ready for what?¡± Before Yu Yan could react, she felt that her feet the surface beneath her feet vanish. Feeling terrified, she screamed and fell down into the abyss of darkness.


    In a few moments, Qingluan''s huge body was stored by Ji Yuenian into the seal of storage between his brows.


    The Yin Qi gathered under Ji Yuenian, and a blazing white light appeared under Qiong Yu Daozi''s feet. Wang Yueyang''s complexion was extremely pale, but he managed to take out an extremely precious Imperial Sky Talisman, and followed closely behind the two.


    Gu Hang once had a blue-feathered Luan Bird of the True Dao Realm, but it was caught and eaten by the evil gods in the Shouyan Mountain Range. So at this moment he had no ability to hold in the sky, and directly fell out a dozen meters, swept away by the invading insect cloud, and was annihilated in the darkness without a sound.


    "Brother Dao, Brother, wait for me!"


    Yu Yan chased up from the darkness below, a water-blue demonic light surged around her body, and even her long azure blue hair dazzled with the splendid icy blue light halo, obviously the bottom card was out.


    But at this time, no one paid any attention to her, because once again the evil god opened its mouth and let out a roar ten times stronger than before!


    Roar!


    This roar made the earth and mountains tremble.


    Countless clouds of pitch-black insects whizzed and swept over, directly concealing the four people in the darkness.


    ¡°This evil god is nearly invincible, we must find a way to escape from here as soon as possible!¡± The sound of thunder and lightning rumbled throughout the world. Qiong Yu Daozi held the top-grade psychic magic weapon, the purple gold carved dragon hammer, and swung countless purple thunderbolts, tearing apart the insect cloud. s?a??h th? N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    In the glow of thunder, the young man in a green robe looked like the god of thunder descending into the world. Every time he swung a hammer, there were countless pitch-black insects screaming and in return were annihilated into ashes.


    The venomous cries of pitch-black worms bore some resemblance to the voices of living people, and the screams of dying were no different from ordinary people, creepy and horrifying.


    Wang Yueyang and Yu Yan were relieved by Qiong Yu Daozi, they were all trembling, unable to speak.


    Ji Yuenian tore apart the cloud of worms and stepped out, surrounded by a blazing golden light. He glanced at the huge evil god, which was more than a hundred feet tall, and said: ¡°This beast has never really made. Now it is only using this worm cloud to attack and kill, I don¡¯t know what purpose it has.¡±


    Qiong Yu Daozi¡¯s eyebrows upturned as he pondered for a moment, then he slowly said: ¡°If my expectations are right, this evil insect should be similar to my Soul-swallowing Blood Thorn. It is necessary for this evil god to use these evil insects to obtain some things from us, such as ... the soul, Heart Fire, and True Spirit.¡±


    Ji Yuenian nodded slightly and said: ¡°This god seems like it has power similar to that of someone at the Divine Sea Realm. If we fight in person, I''m afraid we won''t last long.¡±


    ¡°Although it has an astonishing aura, it is not at the Divine Sea Realm.¡± Qiong Yu Daozi sideways glance at Ji Yuenian, ¡°It has been rumored for a long time that the Cui Ri territory¡¯s Divine Seal has split into several pieces. Although no one can confirm this, it seems likely given the situation.¡±


    Ji Yuenian''s eyes glowed with a golden aura and said softly. ¡°In that case, even if this evil god can take over part of the Cui Ri territory, its cultivation cannot be compared to the Divine Sea Realm.¡±


    Qiong Yu Daozi gave Ji Yuenian an approving glance and said. ¡°Its divine power is vast and magnificent, although it is between the True Dao Realm and the Divine Sea Realm, it is still extremely difficult for us to match it in terms of strength.¡±


    ¡°Evil gods are rampant within the Cui Ri territory, doesn''t the Holy Sect care?¡± Wang Yueyang huddled behind Qiong Yu Daozi and complained in a low voice.


    Qiong Yu Daozi sneered: ¡°Even if these evil gods are a hundred times more vicious, they are just dogs that can only wag its tail around powerful forces as Taiyu Holy Sect and the True Royal Thunder Sect.¡±


    By some point Yu Yan regained her senses and asked doubtfully, ¡°But we are the disciples of the Taiyu Holy Sect, why does it dare to kill so ruthlessly?¡±


    ¡°I don''t know understand, either,¡± Qiong Yu Daozi shook his head, and the purple gold dragon hammer in his hand once again glowed with lightning. ¡°Watch out!¡±


    Roar!*


    The third roar spread across the sky, and the overwhelming insect clouds pressed down, obviously intending to annihilate the four of them in one fell swoop!


    Ji Yuenian''s eyes were fixed, and he was very keenly aware that the huge insect cloud had vaguely turned into four black clouds of different sizes, respectively rolling down towards the four people.


    And the cloud of insects that he was about to face was not that big, but the smallest of the four insect clouds.


    As the Xuan Qi circulated, streams of Xuan Qi brilliance flowed out, condensing into a cell of green light from Ji Yuenian''s side.


    ¡°Manifestation of the Mysterious Body¡±


    Based on Ji Yuenian''s cultivation in the upper Xuan realm at this time, the protective ability of this divine skill was not strong, but this true skill contains a number of extremely divine effects.


    Fusion, swallowing and refining.


    At the beginning, Ji Yuenian was able to refine the phantoms of ashes and psychic karma into the "Spiritual Ghost Clothes" with the help of "Indestructible Body", but now under the blessing of the Great Compassion Mantra, naturally With this trick, these evil insects manifested by divine power can be refined into another thing.


    The ultimate psychic weapon, the Snow Condensing Xuan Sword.

 Ch. 119 - The Human Face

    The cloud of insects with a radius of tens of feet covered the sky, completely obscuring Ji Yuenian''s senses. As far as the eye could see, there were only countless pitch-black evil insects with human faces hissing and lunging to kill them.The Great Compassion Mantra.


    The brilliant golden profound light surged up, turned into a big golden hand and stirred within the insect cloud, grabbed and wiped out hundreds of human-faced evil insects with one palm. It absorbed all the black energy and was drawn into the Xuanqing Light Cell.


    The black energy was taken into the light cell by Ji Yuenian, and gradually melted into incomparably pure black divine power under "Xian Mi Miao Tong Bu Die", leaving only hundreds of terrifying human faces the size of fingernails floating in the sky, roaring with resentment.


    [Note: ¡°Xian Mi Miao Tong Bu Die¡± translates to ¡°Secrets of Wonderful Enlightenment: Unsurpassed Vajra Body¡±]


    In an instant, Ji Yuenian swept out a golden mysterious light annihilating all those faces, and with a flip of his palm, all the pure black divine powers were absorbed into his palms.


    As the cold divine power penetrated into his meridians, causing Ji Yuenian''s mood to move slightly.


    Initially, he planned to refine these divine powers into the Snow-covered Xuan Sword, and escape from here to rely on the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline.


    But now, after the dark divine power entered the body, the phantom of the mysterious core in the divine palace acupoint trembled slightly. As the phantom of psychic karma fire burned, the mysterious core absorbed all the divine power and became more and more solidified.


    The long sword suffused with frost and snow floated beside him. Ji Yuenian kept using a golden hand to grasp the evil insect, swallowing them and restoring them to pitch-black divine power. Respectively, within just half a stick of incense time the Xuan sword and Xuan core phantom, had absorbed it and solidified for a small half!


    The Xuan Hai Xuan Qi gradually exhausted, Ji Yuenian took out several "Qi Gathering Pills" and "Qi Xing Pills" and swallowed them. He wanted to catch the evil insects again, but noticed that there was nothing around him. Tens of thousands of pitch-black insects within ten feet had already been caught by him!


    The Great Compassion Mantra was too powerful against these ferocious creatures. If it were another protective mantra, he would never have persisted in the dense insect cloud for such a long time.


    In this terrible cloud of insects, Ji Yuenian could be so calm thanks to such divine skill and the phantom of psychic karma swallowing and absorbing on one side.


    Turning to the side, he saw Qiong Yu Daozi''s body had turned into a sea of obsidian purple thunder. At this moment, he stood dazzlingly in the darkness like a god of thunder.


    Wang Yueyang tightly huddled a few feet behind Qiong Yu Daozi, not daring to move at all. While Yu Yan was already exhausted and had collapsed on top of Wang Yueyang''s talisman treasure, they were also surrounded by the obsidian purple thunder.


    Ji Yuenian once again looked at Qiong Yu Daozi, thinking in his heart.


    According to rumors, His Royal Highness Qiong Yu Daozi had always been kind to others, and liked to support his juniors brothers and sisters the most.


    Of course it was all nonsense, but to Ji Yuenian''s surprise, Qiong Yu Daozi would still protect Wang Yueyang and Yu Yan at this moment.


    ¡°There is only one reason for this show, that is that this place can not trap you. With your ability, you can escape here at any time, so it''s okay for you to play around once in a while." Ji Yuenian murmured to himself, and didn¡¯t go to Purple Thunder Sea, but sat on the ground in the dark void, quietly waiting for the next insect cloud to come.


    Qiong Yu Daozi felt the frantic influx of divine energy rushing madly into the light sphere in his palm, and couldn¡¯t help, but smile, and he turned his head and said: ¡°Senior brothers and Sisters, stay still in the sea of ??thunder, I will deal with these evil insects.¡±


    Wang Yueyang was full of gratitude: ¡°Thank you, Your Highness Daozi, for saving our life!¡±


    Roar!


    The huge divine body of the Evil God took a step in the darkness, and the world seemed to tremble.


    It could never have imagined that his "Human-faced Curse Insects" that could absorb the souls of living beings and transform them into divine powers would become the cultivation aid for Daozi Qiong Yu and Ji Yuenian.


    These "Human-faced Curse Insects" were extremely evil, even better than the "Soul-swallowing Blood Thorns" refined by Qiong Yu Daozi. Not only could they gnaw the souls of living beings, but also turn their flesh and blood into human faces, and under its attachment, it turned into a new "Human-faced Curse Insect", which was extremely vicious.


    There were hundreds of thousands of "Human-faced Curse Worms" around him. Enough to illustrate the number of living beings that had died in its hands over the thousands of years.


    This time it had attacked Qiong Yu Daozi and Ji Yuenian, because Qiong Yu Daozi had something that it longed for. For which, he didn¡¯t hesitate to risk being crushed by the Taiyu Holy Sect. With a brazen attack, it directly trapped Qingluan and the four people on his back within the broken divine seal of the Cui Ri Territory that it controlled.


    As if aware of the disappearance of the dark divine power, the evil god took another step, opened and closed its ferocious mouth slightly, and the ancient aura of life sounded from afar.


    ¡°The man in the green robe, hand over the treasure in your palm that can absorb divine power, and after that I¡¯ll let you guys go.¡±


    ¡°Do you know what it is?¡± Qiong Yu Daozi scoffed, turned his palms to reveal the thing in his hand.


    Between his slender fingers, he held a black glowing sphere, and it could vaguely be seen that inside was a small black cauldron.


    The huge divine body of the Evil God trembled slightly, obviously longing for the small black cauldron, and said in a hoarse voice: ¡°Hand over this thing, and I will spare your life.¡±


    ¡°Are you worthy of it?¡± Qiong Yu Daozi put away the small cauldron, ¡°Although I can''t do anything to you, if I want to leave this incomplete seal, you won¡¯t be able to retain it.¡±


    The Evil God didn''t speak anymore, but the cloud of insects around him was gathering more and more, obviously he didn''t intend to keep his hand.


    Standing behind Qiong Yu Daozi, Wang Yueyang boldly asked: ¡°Your Highness Daozi, this fellow is so tyrannical, why does he only use these evil insects to attack and kill, but not do it personally?¡±


    Qiong Yu Daozi didn''t look back, but glanced at Ji Yuenian in the distance, and said, ¡°It''s afraid of death.¡±


    Wang Yueyang became more and more puzzled, and asked, ¡°What do you mean by that?¡±


    ¡°It originally thought of using these evil insects to absorb the souls of living beings,¡± Qiong Yu Daozi slowly began, ¡°But after knowing about the treasure it started to plot against me. Is plan is is very simple. After it obtains the treasure, it will directly abandon this incomplete position, flee far away from the Yuan Yan Realm, and never return.¡±


    ¡°So that''s how it is!¡± Wang Yueyang suddenly realized, ¡°If it makes a move in person, it will definitely be detected by the great powers of Taiyu Holy Sect and Imperial Thunder Sect, and it will still die at that time. But now it is using these incantation insects to attack and kill, afterward it can completely give up this divine ability, erase all traces, and finally escape with ease.¡± S?a?ch* Th?

    Roar!


    Hundreds of thousands of ¡°Human-faced Curse Insects¡± swarmed down and rushed towards the sea of ??thunder around Qiong Yu Daozi''s body.


    Among them, about 50,000 "Human-faced Curse Insects" were separated, and pressed towards Ji Yuenian on the other side at the same time.


    Although Ji Yuenian and Qiong Yu Daozi each had methods of swallowing evil insects, in the eyes of this Evil God, these two could never completely absorb all of them. Even the living beings in the True Dao Realm would eventually despair because of the exhaustion of their Xuan Qi.


    But this Evil God would never have imagined that Qiong Yu was an enchanting arrogance at the level of the Holy Son, with a lot of cards in his hand. Although he looked extremely dignified on the surface, in essence, he didn''t pay attention to this incomplete divine seal space at all.


    But the Evil God''s plan did not take into account that Qiong Yu was a monster and a genius of the level of a Holy Son, with many hidden cards. Although he appeared extremely serious on the surface, in reality, he did not care about this damaged divine seal space at all.


    Ji Yuenian''s body was covered by a lot of mist. Just relying on the power of Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline, he escaped from the incomplete seal of this side without it knowing it.

 Ch. 120 - Do You Dare Fight an Evil God With Me?

    Sitting still on the spot, Ji Yuenian calmly looked up at the tens of thousands of Human-faced Cruse Insects that were trying to kill them, and made a spell with both hands. The Great Compassion Mantra had been pushed to the limit, and a golden and profound light rose into an arcane fire. In this darkness, it was like a blazing golden sun, illuminating all illusions.This supreme divine incantation, the ¡°Buddha Mantra of Spiritual Transition¡± originated from the sacred mountain of Luojia, could transmute an infinite number of living beings. It was not only for human beings but also for ghosts, demons, spirits, monsters, immortals, and also for gods!


    The blazing golden rainbow light of the Great Compassion Mantra exploded, it was so powerful that it immediately swallowed thousands of the curse insects before it was exhausted and dissipated into a sky of brilliant golden light into the darkness.


    Ji Yuenian''s cultivation was only at the upper level of Nascent Xuan Realm, and being able to cast such a powerful spell at this moment was far beyond the limit of the Nascent Xuan Realm.


    Between his eyebrows, there was a phantom of a pitch-black flame burning, which was exactly the phantom of the fire of psychic karma manifested in the divine palace acupoint.


    As the thousands of Human-faced Curse Insects were swallowed, the psychic fire transformed all of it into dark divine power, which was absorbed and submerged into Ji Yuenian''s core.


    The looming phantom of the mysterious core frantically absorbed these extremely pure divine powers, and it was rapidly solidifying at a speed visible to the naked eye!


    ¡°Not enough!¡±


    Ji Yuenian stood up, grabbed the snow-covered Xuan Sword floating by his side, and slashed it straight at the dense insect clouds!


    Boom!


    The frost and snow filled the sky like flying feathers, while the bone-piercing coldness swept across hundreds of feet. This bright moon-white sword rose brilliantly, slicing the cloud of tens of thousands of Human-faced Curse Insects into two!


    The ear-piercing sound of corrosion continued, and as long as the Human-faced Curse Insects swept by the sword light, they all stagnated in place, their entire bodies turned into snow-white, and the human faces on them were turned to stone, inch by inch crumbling.


    The Great Compassion Mantra.


    The golden brilliance swept across hundreds of feet, crushing all the Human-faced Curse Insects that had lost their vitality. Under the absorption of the phantom of the psychic karma fire, these curse insects were removed from impurities, and all of them were restored to extremely pure black divine energy, which was submerged in Ji Yuenian''s Divine Palace.


    The phantom of the incomparably miraculous Xuan Dan inside it was now more than half solidified!


    ¡°Still not enough!¡±


    Holding the snow-covered Xuan Sword, Ji Yuenian looked at the two berserk clouds of insects, his eyes were calm, and a golden flame gradually burned on the sword.


    The power of the Great Compassion Mantra was truly unimaginable as it was held on the top-grade psychic magic weapon!


    A bright and magnificent flow of golden light surrounded the edge of the snow-covered Xuan Sword, which was extremely dazzling in this deep darkness. It was as if a divine sword descended from the world, radiating an unrivaled power.


    Just as the insect cloud reached nearer!


    The handsome young man, Ji Yuenian, dressed in a black ink moon robe raised his hand slightly, and slashed a sword from bottom to top!


    The snow-covered Xuan Sword rose brilliantly, tearing through all the darkness, sweeping across a distance of thousands of feet, and directly split those two clouds of insects into countless pieces, and remaking into more than 30,000 Human-faced Curse Insects!


    The sword momentum was not yet finished.


    Those blazing golden flames spread rapidly within those cursed insects, in just a short while, these human-faced worms burned in the raging fire, and when viewed from a distance, they turned into a mass of circles of a huge blazing golden fireball tens of feet tall!


    ¡°Psychic, swallow.¡±


    A black flame phantom loomed between Ji Yuenian''s brows, and an incomparably miraculous swallowing force swept in, sweeping away all the black divine power within a radius of hundreds of meters, and taking in all of it into the divine palace acupoint.


    As the blazing golden flames gradually extinguished, these tens of thousands of Human-faced Curse Insects also ceased to exist, and all of them turned into extremely pure original divine power, eliminated from all impurities by the Spiritual Flame Void, and then were absorbed into the increasingly solid Xuan Dan Void.

    A vast amount of dark divine energy was swallowed by the phantom of the psychic karma fire, and the mysterious core increased several times from the speed of virtualization to reality. After just a few breaths, it had condensed as much as 90%!


    Following the ingestion of the last pitch-black divine power within a radius of hundreds of feet, the phantom of the mysterious alchemy floating in Ji Yuenian''s divine palace had completely condensed into substance.


    Suddenly, the world became quiet for a moment, as if something was broken.


    All the Tai Yu Xuan Qi was returned to the Xuan Dan, the Xuan Sea gradually shrank, and eventually coalesced on top of the Xuan Dan, disappearing without a trace.


    After a few breaths of silence, there was finally a slight change in the Xuan Dan, which had not long been born.


    A blazing golden rainbow flowed out from Ji Yuenian''s soul, lingering with an incomparably noble and supreme aura, wrapped around the Xuan Dan several times, and finally turned into a small twelve-petaled blazing golden lotus platform, which landed on the top of the Xuan Dan and took deep roots.


    It was the ¡°Buddha Mantra for Spiritual Transmigration¡±.


    When a living being broke into the True Dao Realm, the Divine Powers and bloodline it held would have a great influence on the character of the Xuan Dan. The deeper the foundation, the more terrifying the Xuan Dan that would be condensed in the end.


    As the golden lotus planted on the top of the Xuan Dan, the aura around Ji Yuenian also changed dramatically. A golden light loomed in his eyes, exuding an incomparably noble aura all the time.


    A few breaths later, another ray of blue light flowed out, slowly rotating on the side of the Xuan Dan, eventually turning into a circle of deep blue light, completely branded on the Xuan Dan.


    ¡°Showing Secret Myriad Passage of the Immortal Body¡±.


    Ji Yuenian had already cultivated these divine powers to the limit when he was in the realm of Nascent Profound Realm. So now, with this thick accumulation, he has increased his Xuan Dan reserves to a terrifying level!


    Suddenly, the Xuan Dan seemed to be tainted with a trace of gray-black air, and as soon as the gray-black air appeared, it spread across the entire Xuan Dan in an instant, causing the radiant Xuan Dan to undergo a radical change!


    The bloodline of the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost!


    With the blessing of three major foundations on Xuan Dan made Ji Yuenian''s aura so terrifying that there was no possibility of improvement!


    Even Qiong Yu Daozi, who was ingesting those insect clouds in purple thunder, couldn''t help looking over distractedly, with a rare look of shock in his eyes.


    The Xuan Dan had completely sunk down, under the influence of Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline, its form differed completely from before.


    The golden lotus and the blue light have disappeared, and now the only glossy illuminating thing in this quiet place was a crystal clear twelve-petal ink jade lotus platform between his brow and divine palace point.


    This ink jade lotus slowly rotated in the divine palace acupoint countless blue light spots linger on it, as magnificent and beautiful as the starlight in the dark night.


    This 12-petal ink jade lotus was Ji Yuenian''s three basic elements of the Xuan Yuan Xuan Dan.


    Once a creature broke into the True Dao Realm, their life expectancy would be increased by 800 years.


    The lines on the black moon robe became clearer, and under Ji Yuenian''s cultivation base, the true power of this protective psychic weapon was gradually revealed.


    Flipping his hand to take the Snow-covered Sword by his side, Ji Yuenian clearly realized for the first time that the power contained in this sword was so terrifying.


    The ultimate spiritual magic weapon, the Snow Condensing Xuan Sword.


    As the ink-jade lotus platform was slowly rotating, the extremely rich Taiyu Xuan Qi surged out and poured into the Snow Condensing Xuan Sword.


    Boom!


    The crisp sword sound resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the blazing frost and snow sword aura streaked out, completely tearing apart the deep darkness within hundreds of meters.


    Wang Yueyang, who was hiding behind Qiong Yu Daozi, pointing at the Sword in Ji Yuenian''s hand, and said in a trembling voice, "Ji ¡­ Senior Brother Ji, he ¡­ he ..."


    Qiong Yu Daozi''s gaze towards Ji Yuenian changed slightly, and whispered, ¡°As expected of a person ranked the Candidate Holy Son, his accumulation in the Nascent Profound Realm is terrifying to this extent.¡±


    Ji Yuenian randomly drew a sword flower, several sword rays crossed out, with an unbeatable power bombarded into the depths of darkness.


    Looking sideways at Daoist Qiong Yu in the distance, the young man flicked the sleeves of his black robe, and said, ¡°Brother Qiong Yu, you just said that this Evil God is not at the true Realm of Gods and Spirits.¡±


    Qiong Yu Daozi nodded and said, ¡°That''s indeed true.¡±


    Ji Yuenian laughed lightly, and took a step forward holding the Snow Condensation Xuan Sword, surrounded by a brilliant golden light rising from the surrounding sky.


    ¡°I wonder, Daoist Qiong Yu, if you dare to fight this Evil God with me?¡±

 Ch. 121 - Tong Xuan, the Trapped Spirit Prison!

    Staring at the young man in black robe surrounded by the blazing golden light stream, Qiong Yu Daozi was stunned for a moment.After a few breaths, the sea of thunder around him trembled violently, along with this his aura also changed drastically, his eyes showed an unparalleled fighting spirit, and he smiled proudly: ¡°Why not?¡±


    Flipping the palm, he took the Purple-Gold Sculpted Dragon Vibrating Hammer in his hand. The sea of ??thunder surging on Qiong Yu Daozi gradually split and changed, turning into thousands of blazing and terrifying thunder pillars, these thunder pillars flowed and tossed around, gradually coalescing into a hundred-foot-long obsidian purple divine sword!

    This sword was made of raging purple thunder, the tip alone was several feet in size. It hung upside down in the sky in this darkness, shining with brilliance, as majestic as a prison, like the thunder god sword above the heavenly palace, brilliant and invincible!


    Qiong Yu Daozi made a tactic with his hands, and his sleeves flipped in the majestic preassure, a phantom of a three-foot thunder sword slowly appeared in front of him, which was no different from the giant thunder sword that spanned the sky.


    ¡°The purple hammer is not only a top-quality psychic weapon, but also one of the fragments of the Imperial Heavenly Sword of the Imperial Thunder Sect. It contains two types of sword tactics.¡±


    Qiong Yu Daozi grabbed the glowing purple hammer depicting the Phantom Thunder Sword. His Daoist level aura exploded with full force, and the terrifying power beyond the True Dao Realm swept across the sky and swept all directions!


    ¡°One sword kills evil.¡±


    The thunderbolt sword, which was 100 feet long, trembled, and a blazing purple sword aura condensed from the tip of the sword. As soon as the sword light appeared, it expanded rapidly, spanning hundreds of feet, like a rainbow piercing the sun, completely tearing apart all the darkness and heading for the huge evil god in the distance!


    Qiong Yu Daozi''s expression was solemn, on his fair and handsome face, his dark eyes were like bright stars, silent and profound.


    ¡°One sword, Suppress Demons!¡±


    As if opening up the sky, the huge sword of thunder hanging upside down in the sky came with a deafening boom, and the tip of the sword slowly raised, followed by the "evil-killing" sword glow, and the entire sword was directed towards the evil god in the depths of darkness!


    Hoo!


    The Evil God obviously did not expect that hundreds of thousands of pitch-black curse insects would not be able to annihilate Qiong Yu Daozi, Ji Yuenian and others. Seeing that Qiong Yu Daozi dared to attack him, he was extremely furious and let out an Earth-shattering roar!


    Boom!


    The obsidian purple sword "Punishing Evil" sword light that was spread out for nearly a hundred feet pierced into the depths of the darkness, and directly slashed on the huge head of the evil god that had the radius of more than ten feet.


    The sword light collapsed, and purple light filled the sky, like a magnificent river of starlight, blooming in this endless darkness.


    Just when the "Suppressing Demon" thunder sword was about to strike into the most brilliant purple aura, a ferocious giant hand full of snow-white fangs stretched out, directly squeezed the hundred-foot-long giant sword, ruthlessly!


    Boom!!!


    An even more terrifying sound of explosion resounded through heaven and earth, with countless splintering swords swishing in all directions. Even on the barrier of this incomplete divine seal space had spawned a number of small fissures that were fleeting.


    There seemed to be many small wounds on the ferocious giant hand, and in these wounds, there was an incomparably thick black divine power escaping every moment.


    ¡°One sword slays evil, one sword, supresses demons; you are a disciple of Imperial Thunder True Sect.¡± The thunder giant sword completely collapsed, revealing the evil god''s massive body in the darkness, but its snow-white pupils were full of hesitation at this moment.


    Originally, its idea was to use those Human-faced Curse Insects to consume Qiong Yu Daozi and others alive, and then take the treasures from Qiong Yu Daozi''s body, give up on its incomplete position, and finally flee far away from the Yuan Yan Realm.


    But it never imagined that Qiong Yu was actually a Daoist and Holy Son-level talent, and Ji Yuenian was the descendant of the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost who had ignited the Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence. Soon as he broke into the True Dao realm and gathered the essence, he became so arrogant that he not only swallowed hundreds of thousands of Human-faced Curse Insects, but also wanted to go against the tide and kill the righteous god of heaven and earth!


    ¡°You''re still afraid to do it yourself, aren''t you.¡± Qiong Yu Daozi was a little pale, but the starlight within his eyes became more and more brilliant


    The two sword techniques just now were quite exhausting, but they allowed Qiong Yu Daozi to really test waters with this Evil God.


    Although it has surpassed the True Dao Realm, it could not be compared with the creatures in the Divine Sea Realm.


    Because the Cui Ri Divine Seal he was holding at this moment was a defective seal, and the divine power that can be contained was limited. Unless several pieces of incomplete seals were gathered in one place, this Evil God would never be able to truly rank among the Divine Sea Realm.


    ¡°A mere ants dare to be so presumptuous,¡± the evil god smiled desolately, and took a step slowly, with a vast and incomparably divine power surging on his mountain-like body, ¡°Forget it, So what if it''s the Tai Yu Holy Sect or the Imperial Thunder True Sect? I just don¡¯t believe that, there is no place for me to stay in this vast and boundless world outside the Yuan Yan realm!¡±


    After saying this, one of the several Evil Gods in the Cui Ri Territory finally revealed its true power.


    The majestic pitch-black divine power traversed all directions, and the irresistible and glorious pressure descended, and the gods were enraged, and the heavens and earth were turned upside down.


    Just when this Evil God was about to bring Wan Jun''s supernatural power to suppress Qiong Yu Daozi, his huge divine body froze suddenly.


    Countless blazing golden rays of light flowed through the darkness, weaving and circling, like a magpie falling from a frightened bird. In just a few minutes, a golden cage of hundreds of feet high was woven, confining this Evil God in place, unable to move.


    As soon as it soared up, it swept the world with a flick of its sleeves.


    A cold voice murmured in the darkness.


    ¡°The Great Compassion Mantra.¡±


    The young man in the black moon robe stood quietly on top of a black and white picture scroll, his whole body was covered with a layer of golden light, and his long black hair fluttered, making him even more unparalleled, pure and noble.


    It was so terrible that after breaking into the True Dao Realm, all kinds of horrors were superimposed, accumulated over time, and now there was a terrifying combat power that could trap this god with a single spell.


    ¡°Capture and kill.¡±


    As Ji Yuenian clenched, his hands, the divine power of transformation on the golden cage gradually diminished, and eventually was thoroughly branded on the monstrous body of the Evil God, as if it had been dressed in a layer of gold and jade, magnificent and splendid.


    Howl!


    From the wound on his divine body that was imprisoned by the golden thread, numerous pitch-black divine powers dissipated with it. Under the Evil God¡¯s continuous roar, the gold-threaded jade clothes gradually faded, and the golden thread crumbled and disintegrated from time to time, as if it would completely collapse at any moment.


    Qiong Yu Daozi was obviously a little shocked by the terrifying power of Ji Yuenian''s spell, and was a bit dumbfounded for a while. It took him some minutes to come back to his senses, then took a deep look at Ji Yuenian, and took out an object with the wave of his sleeve and said: ¡°Fellow Daoist, can it trap it for more than 3 breaths??¡±


    With a mere cultivation of the True Dao Realm, could temporarily entrap a revered God with a single spell was so outrageous that it seemed almost ridiculous to ordinary people.


    But when it comes to Qiong Yu Daozi and Ji Yuenian, it seemed to be something that could be done at will.


    Ji Yuenian stepped on the Liangyi landscape map, and the twelve-petal black jade lotus platform in the shrine slowly rotated. Under the flowing starlight in the dark night, less than 30% of the Tai Yu Xuan Qi hidden in it is already left.


    The divine body of this Evil God was too great, it was beyond the existence of the Great True Dao Realm, so the consumption of the Great Compassion Mantra just now was too great, even with Ji Yuenian''s terrifying depth, it cannot be cast the second time in a short time.


    After a moment of silence, Ji Yuenian nodded slightly and said. ¡°Yes.¡±


    With a flick of the black sleeve robe, a wisp of Yin Qi from heaven and earth appeared out of thin air.


    Following that, more and more heaven and earth Yin Qi gathered, and the freezing aura gradually permeated every corner of the darkness.


    After breaking into the True Dao Realm the power deep within his Tong Xuan Ghost bloodline gradually awakened, and now he had divine abilities he could utilize.


    Bloodline divine powers originate from the power of bloodlines. Although they complemented each other with Xuan Dan Xuan Qi, it did not limit them. Even if the Xuan Qi was on the verge of exhaustion, as long as the remaining bloodline power still existed, the divine powers could still be performed.


    Boom!


    The Evil God finally broke free from the confinement of the golden thread cage, and while the divine power surged on the huge body, his snow-white pupils swept towards Ji Yuenian, filled with fierce and unmatched killing intent: ¡°You ant!!!¡±


    Just as his words fell, the divine power around him froze again.


    Wisps of pitch-black Yin Qi flowed out from his side, gradually intertwined into a huge cage with a radius of hundreds of feet. This cage was constructed by the Yin Qi of heaven and earth. At this time, there was no ability to kill or suppress, but only had the trapping effect.


    ¡°Tong Xuan, Trap Spirit Prison.¡±


    Ji Yuenian¡¯s black robe sleeves flip up, quietly looking at the Evil God struggling and roaring in the dark cage, said softly.


    ¡°Brother Daoist, what a good method indeed!¡±


    Qiong Yu Daozi let out a long laugh, and without hesitation, he crushed the object in his hand, and a boundless fierce aura rose up, sweeping across the sky!

 Ch. 122

    The ferocious and violent breath surged towards the Evil God in the Trapped Spirit Prison, this object was actually a precious Spiritual Embodiment Charm!The spirit incantation contained in the incantation was created by creatures in the Divine Sea Realm. Each spirit incantation was extremely precious and difficult to refine, making it priceless. Although its power was tremendous, most of them could only be used once and were not obtainable by enlightened offspring.


    Ji Yuenian held the third mountain''s Li family talisman, which was a spirit-intense charm in essence, but it was of a different type of spiritual talisman held by Qiong Yu Daozi.


    A huge palm print across the sky gradually appeared within the fierce aura, and slapped the evil god''s head directly!


    The Evil God, who had been imprisoned in the Spirit Trap, only roared with anger, but when he saw the appearance of the palm print that covered the sky, for the first time, there was a very obvious fear in his snow-white pupils.


    After all, it was the God of a Territory who was in charge of the incomplete divine seal, and had the divine power of heaven and earth as its backing. Although Qiong Yu Daozi and Ji Yuenian were extremely powerful, it was not too simple to root out this Evil God once and for all.


    But what lay in this Spiritual Embodiment Incantation was the spell and supernatural powers cast by the creatures in the realm of Divine Sea Realm. The force in it was extremely terrifying. Once this palm print fell down, this Evil God''s divine body would definitely be shattered and destroyed, and this defective divine seal space would also collapse, and there would be no more luck to speak of.


    "Why!"


    The Evil God struggled desperately in the Trapped Spirit Prison, the pitch-black divine power blasted wildly, and the ferocious fangs in the pale eyes wriggled unceasingly, and two lines of blood tears slowly flowed from them.


    Ji Yuenian stood on top of the landscape map of Liangyi, and his robe fluttered wildly, and the power of Tong Xuan Ghost Bloodline had been stimulated to the extreme.


    Three breaths.


    The divine power exploded, the pitch-black Trapped Spirit Prison with a radius of hundreds of feet finally shattered inch by inch. The Evil God half-knelt on the ground, looked up at the palm print of Yun Ling approaching to the top of his head, and asked with a miserable smile. ¡°Why on earth!¡±


    ¡°I just want to live.¡±


    ¡°Taiyu Holy Sect, Imperial Thunder True Sect, you are the most powerful Sects that were born to be superior, commanding countless living beings in all major territories, how do you know the suffering of all living beings!


    ¡°I¡¯ve been reduced to this state, why do you still have to push me so hard!?


    ¡°Why is this world so unfair!¡±


    Finally, the palm print slowly pressed on the top of his head, and the huge divine body froze completely. This hideous and ugly Evil god knelt down even more humbly, and all the dark divine power from his body flamed out like fireworks. The countless wounds on his divine body burned fiercely, blooming with the last brilliance and splendor.


    A very soft cracking sound came to the ears.


    A glimmer of light faintly appeared in the boundless darkness.


    As the sound of the continuous splinter was getting louder, more light bleak through the darkness, the rich vitality of heaven and earth poured in frantically, and the real world gradually revealed, this incomplete space of the divine seal finally gradually cracked and shattered under this palm print open.


    During the transition of light and shadow, Ji Yuenian, Qiong Yu Daozi and the others reappeared in the Cuiri Territory.


    The blazing red sun hung on the top of the sky, and the golden-red sunlight fell down and gently shone on the head of the Evil God.


    It is already evening Youshi. (17:00 - 18:59).


    His hundred-foot divine body gradually reduced to ashes, leaving only a small half of the incomplete divine seal that slowly fell down. As the obsidian light scattered, an ugly boy in common clothes was revealed who was half-kneeling on the ground under the divine seal, looking up at Ji Yuenian and Qiong Yu Daozi.


    The boy''s gaze was filled with many emotions, including resentment, unyielding, regret, and many complicated emotions, but in the end they were all hidden within his snow-white pupils, leaving him calm to the point of apathy.


    ¡°Once I did not look like this, but ¡­¡±


    Boom!


    Before he could finish his words, a beam of purple thunderbolt with the thickness of a bowl slashed down, directly enveloping the boy in civilian clothes, and with a booming sound it turned into fly ash, and it scattered away with the wind without a trace.


    Qiong Yu Daozi put away the purple-gold carving dragon hammer, and said with a sneer: ¡°I thought it was some kind of extraordinary deity, but it turns out to be just a lowly evil spirit who accidentally got a defective divine seal, and not even a full divine seat. Such a lowly thing, what qualifications does it have to plot against me?¡±


    ¡®Two ¡­ senior brothers ¡­¡±


    Wang Yueyang supported Yu Yan, who had awakened at some point, and was standing warily on Qiong Yu Daozi''s imperial magic treasure, looking at Qiong Yu Daozi and Ji Yuenian as if they were monsters.


    Just now it wasn¡¯t some mountain demon that''s been whacked, but a real god of territory!


    Even if the God of the territory was holding a defective divine seal, it was not a match for the ordinary Great True Dao Realm.


    Yu Yan looked at Ji Yuenian who was standing alone not far away, her eyes were extremely complicated, she moved her lips lightly, and said: ¡°Congratulations to the two senior brothers, who have finally condemned this evil spirit, Yu Yan would also like to thank you for saving my life.¡±


    It was abundantly clear in her heart that after Ji Yuenian broke into the True Dao Realm, she was no longer qualified to call him Fellow Daoist.


    Wang Yueyang hurriedly followed her to salute, and respectfully said: ¡°Thank you senior brothers for saving my life.¡±


    ¡°No problem,¡± Qiong Yu Daozi waved his hand casually, turned his head towards Ji Yuenian, ¡°Fellow Daoist, I did some calculations just now, we have been delayed for more than ten hours in that strange divine seal space.¡±


    Ji Yuenian lowered his eyes, looking at the incomplete divine seal floating there, and said, ¡°It is too late to go to the Ancient City of Cuiri.¡±


    While they were talking, dark clouds from nowhere came across the sky, and a mighty power slowly emerged from the sky. A huge phantom with a height of several tens of feet condensed, and quietly looking down Ji Yuenian and others.

    After being silent for a few breaths, the phantom slowly opened its mouth, and the hoarse and vicissitudes voice came down from afar: ¡°Two friends, the fragmented divine seal is quite useful to me, can you give it to me?¡±


    The phantom''s eyes were glowing with divine light, cold and indifferent, and its divine aura was even more majestic, but the dozens of blazing red blood orbs suspended on its side clearly show its identity as an Evil God.


    Qiong Yu Daozi frowned slightly. From this cluster of blood cells around the Evil God¡¯s body, he sensed a little familiar aura and said, ¡°Luoyan City?¡±


    The phantom of the Evil God glanced at him, nodded slightly, and said: ¡°At first, you had a divine ability to destroy tens of thousands of living beings in Luoyan City. After you left, I took the flesh and blood of tens of thousands of souls and made it into a blood spell.¡±


    This Evil God in charge of the largest of the several divine seals in the Cuiri Territory. Although he was an Evil God, he still barely counted as the God of the Cuiri territory within the rules of heaven and earth.


    Qiong Yu Daozi and Ji Yuenian looked at each other without hesitation, and said, ¡°This seal can be given to you.¡±


    This Territory Divine Seal was useless to ordinary creatures, and it would be better to exchange it for something tangible than to simply hold on to it.


    The phantom of the Evil God didn''t seem to be surprised. With a slight movement of his fingers, the floating and incomplete divine seal was taken up by him and submerged into his palm.


    ¡°Fellow Daoists I''m truly delighted.¡± There was an extremely rare emotional fluctuation in the indifferent eyes of the Cui Ri God. ¡°With this incomplete seal, I am strong enough to sweep across the territory of Cuiri and kill two other Evil Spirits who stole the divine throne, and have truly obtained the land god''s position within the territory of Cuiri.¡±


    Ji Yuenian waved his sleeve robe and said. ¡°Good.¡±


    The dark clouds all over the sky gradually dispersed, and the phantom of the Evil God also disappeared, completely disappearing into the void.


    Yu Yan and Wang Yueyang were dumbfounded, unable to speak for a while.


    After a few breaths, Wang Yueyang came back to his senses, and asked in doubt: ¡°Dare I ask brother, why did you hand over the seal so easily.¡±


    Ji Yuenian glanced at him, but didn''t speak.


    Qiong Yu Daozi said with a sigh: ¡°The righteous gods of heaven and earth are different from ordinary beings. Once they truly attain godhood, they will have karmic shackles around them. Now it has taken this divine seal, if it really obtains the godhood of the Cuiri Territory in the future it naturally owes brother Ji Yuenian and me a share of karma, so there is no need to rush this matter.¡±


    Yu Yan was usually very smart, but she was a little dazed after the series of events from earlier, but now she also figured out the key points, and said to Wang Yueyang: ¡°The theory of cause and effect is mysterious and miraculous. It is useless to ordinary creatures, and only those who have survived the legendary three major calamities can have some qualifications to experience it. These are not in case with the righteous gods of heaven and earth, they are subject to control of cause and effect at all times.¡±


    Wang Yueyang nodded as if he had a sudden realization and seemed to understand.


    ¡°Your Highness Daozi!¡±


    ¡°I greet Your Highness Daozi!¡±


    A magnificent Luan bird came from afar, and slowly landed on the ground. The headed demon general of the Great True Dao Realm was full of anxiety, and the many demons following him also saluted one after another, showing great respect.


    ¡°More than ten hours ago, the Qing Luan on which His Royal Highness Daozi was riding disappeared into the void without warning, and there has been no clue of it since. We searched for it several times within a radius of a hundred miles, but couldn¡¯t detect a single trace of His Royal Highness Daozi.¡±


    Qiong Yu Daozi knew why they were so anxious, and felt a little impatient, he waved his hands and said. ¡°I''m fine, hurry up and go to the Ancient City of Cuiri.¡±


    If something happened to Qiong Yu Daozi within the territory of Cuiri, the Imperial Thunder Sect would definitely vent their anger on the entire ancient city of Cuiri, and these demon generals and creatures who were closest to him would be the first to bear the brunt of it, and would end up with their souls destroyed, with no chance of escape.


    ¡°Yes, Your Highness Daozi.¡±


    Seeing Daozi Qiong Yu, the demon general at the True Dao Realm didn''t say much, and he didn''t dare ask more questions, but only bowed his head and answered repeatedly, with utmost respect.


    The moon sitting in the centre of sky, and the galaxy spanned across the horizon. This magnificent scene of heaven and earth was like a day and night, and it remained unchanged for countless years.


    A blue-winged Luan bird, surrounded by brilliant blue light, fluttered its wings over the clouds of the night sky, followed by a gorgeous imperial chariot at a distance of tens of feet, one behind the other, heading towards the ancient city of Cuiri.

 Ch. 123 - White Night

    By the Qingling River, the autumn water was not yet full.The slender white hand lightly brushed the wet hair on the forehead, and there were faint water droplets hanging on the forearm. The green hair was tied up with a jade hairband, and the clear and transparent eyes gazed at the woman in white standing by the river, with sparkling light circulating in the clear and transparent pupils.


    ¡°Sister Baixi.¡±


    The woman in white gauze seemed to have no good way to deal with her, gently shook her head and said, ¡°It''s Maoshi now, don''t dawdle any longer, Qing Di, get dressed quickly, and follow me to Kanjin to see His Majesty.¡± S?a?ch* Th? N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    The girl with the jade ribbon stood up from the Qingling River, tilted her head and said with a smile: ¡°Sister Bai Xi, it is really boring to see His Majesty every day, why can''t you take a day off?¡±


    ¡°Don''t talk nonsense!¡± Bai Xi put her hand on her forehead, looked at the girl in the green skirt who was already dressed in front of her, and sighed softly, ¡°Although this place is not the Baiye realm, it is still under the jurisdiction of His Majesty, and the rules must not be broken!¡±


    Qing Di lowered her head to contemplate for a moment, raised her head and said with a smile: ¡°His Majesty treats me very well, even if I don''t go to Kanjin one day, I''m sure His Majesty will not condemn me.¡±


    ¡°Qing Di!¡±


    Looking at the pretty girl in the green skirt in front of her, Bai Xi''s expression was slightly cold, and her words became a lot harder: ¡°Even if you have been accepted by His Majesty as a disciple of honor, you can''t be so reckless!¡±


    Qing Di stretched out her jade fingers fiddled with the tie in her hair, and complained: ¡°The Qingluan Mountains are really too monotonous and boring. After His Majesty''s arrival, I can only play around the Qing Ling River all day long, which is boring and uninteresting.¡±


    Bai Xi was one of the sixteen chamber maids brought by Egret Demon King to Qing Luan Mountain Range. It had been more than ten days since she was to come here to teach this ignorant new disciple on the order of Egret Demon King.


    The Egret Demon King was a heavenly power in the Divine Sea Realm, and his merits were a good fortune. Even if he came to Qingluan Mountain Range in advance, the incarnation he came here also had the strength of the upper realm of the Divine Sea Realm.


    The Qing Ling stone embryo was one of the six kinds of heaven and earth stone embryos. Although it ranked last, and was not as powerful as the earth-shaking Ling Ming stone embryo, it still has the monstrous power to burn rivers and seas.


    The Ling Ming Stone Embryo recorded in the ancient classics could pass changes, know the time of the day, know the location, and change the stars.


    And this Qing Ling stone embryo also has a saying in the abode.


    The Qing Ling Stone was a rare ghost that was created within the Qingluan Mountain Range.


    This Qing Ling stone body transformed into the blood of thousands of living beings, and finally transformed into an extremely rare heart-devouring ghost in the Qing Luan Mountains. Under the nurturing of the Qing Ling stone embryo in the depths of its origin, a divine soul was born on it, called the Qing Di.


    Although this incarnation of the White Egret Demon King descended to this place was only at the upper level of the Divine Sea Realm, with a little movement and induction, he swept the vast Qingluan Mountains from the inside to the outside. This rare and incomparable heart-devouring ghost naturally would not escape the detection of the White Egret Demon King.


    After accepting Qing Di as a registered disciple, the White Egret Demon King left her to Bai Xi, one of the sixteen maids of honor, and asked her to teach Qing Di carefully, bringing her back to the realm of Bai Ye when the alchemy was over, officially under the door.


    ¡°You are the body of a heart-devouring demon. Even in the White Night Demon Sect, you can be regarded as a talent. How come you have such a bad heart?¡± Bai Xi reached out and pulled the green-skirted girl in front of her, her tone full of helpless, ¡°His Majesty has accepted you as a registered disciple, do you ever know what a great honor this is?¡±


    Qing di''s eyes flashed, she seemed to have suddenly thought of something and changed her tone: ¡°Sister Bai Xi, I know, I will follow you to meet His Majesty!¡±


    Bai Xi breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Qing Di''s wrist, her sleeves waved, and a blazing white light emerged from beneath their feet, and slowly flew away from Qing Ling River towards the ancient temple at the highest point of the main peak of Qingluan Mountains.


    ...


    Chu Yuehe stood outside the ancient temple, looking oddly at the Qing Di beside Bai Xi, and said, ¡°Junior Sister, you ¡­¡±


    Seeing Chu Yuehe, Qing Di couldn''t help showing a little joy in her eyes before she could stand firmly, she broke free from Bai Xi''s hand, walked over in three and two steps at a time, and whispered, ¡°Senior Brother Chu, tell me about the Taiyu Holy Sect in detail.¡±


    ¡°You have already asked about it many times¡± Chu Yuehe also looked a little helpless, "A Senior Brother was named Ji Yuenian, he was a disciple of Eclipse Moon Peak in the Luoxia Mountains of the Taiyu Saint Sect. Don''t ask again.¡±


    Qing Di opened her mouth and just as she was about to say something, a somewhat flat male voice came from the ancient temple.


    ¡°Qing Di, come in.¡±


    As soon as the word fell, all the creatures outside the ancient temple bowed their heads respectfully, even the distinguished Chu Yuehe was no exception.


    Qing Di was also well-behaved, quietly shutting her mouth, walked meticulously to the front of the ancient temple, and saluted: ¡°The disciple has seen Your Majesty.¡±


    The wooden door of the ancient temple opened slowly, after a moment of hesitation Qing Di walked in directly.


    For the time being, she was only a disciple of the White Egret Demon King, and was not qualified to call him Master.


    ¡°After this last batch of Tongmiao Shengxuan Dan is refined, I will leave here and return to the White Night Demon Sect,¡± the white-robed man casually threw the burning seed of the furnace into the core of the Heavenly Furnace Barrier. Turned his head to the side and quietly looked at Qing Di who was a bit confused, "Your qualifications are not bad, but your temperament is too bad. You still need a lot of tempering.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Your Majesty.¡±


    Qing Di bowed again, but did not dare to look up at the man in the white robe.


    The White Egret Demon King''s body was constantly gushing with white demon power that could split mountains and rocks every moment, not only was his aura dignified, but His Majesty was even more glorious and inviolable.


    After a moment of silence, the white-robed man turned around, looked at the Heavenly Furnace Barrier that enveloped the Qingluan mountain range, and said softly: ¡°I accepted you as a registered disciple just because you are a Heart-Devouring Ghost. After the White Night Demon Sect, sect strife, power struggles, intertwined forces, and even those turbulent and hidden murderous intentions all need to be faced by yourself.¡±


    Heart-devouring ghosts were extremely rare, and this Heart-devouring ghost was more powerful than a normal ghost. If every Heart-devouring Ghost could grow up, there was a 90% chance of breaking into the Divine Sea Realm.


    Even after breaking into the Divine Sea Realm it had a good chance of ascending and becoming a true powerhouse of creation.


    It was for this reason that the high and mighty White Egret Demon King was so patient with Qing Di.


    ¡°Yes, Your Majesty, I understand.¡±


    Qing Di responded in a low voice, and after a moment''s hesitation, she gained courage and said what she was thinking in her heart: "I saw a black-robed young man when Your Majesty had not yet descended, and I was so taken with his appearance that I have never forgotten it.¡±


    The White Egret Demon King obviously did not care about such tedious matters, and waved his sleeve and said: "It''s Just a disciple of the Taiyu Holy Sect, just hold my talisman and let Chu Yuehe take you to the Luoxia Mountains, and just ask for it.¡±


    With these words, he flung out a white jade talisman and rolled Qing Di out of the ancient temple along with it.


    ¡°Thank you, Your Majesty!¡±


    Qing Di fell hard in front of the ancient temple, ignored the strange eyes of many demon generals, and stood up straight up. With the power of ghosts, she brushed off the dust on the sleeves of her skirt, revealing her fair and delicate face. There was a little blush on the small face, and she looked down at the white jade token in her palm in a daze.

 Ch. 124 - Lord of Baiye Cave Haven

    A few days later.¡°Young Master Chu, after another incense stick, we will be able to reach the Tong Ming Peak at the gateway of the Luoxia Mountain Range.¡±


    A gray-white demon cloud with a radius of several tens of feet crossed the sky, on which there were two demon generals and more than a dozen demon spirits of the True Dao Realm were on the side, sitting idly in the center was a handsome young man, holding a crystal white jade and sipping at its spiritual tea.


    Before he could respond to the Red Luan Demon General, Qing Di who was standing on the side came over, took the map jade slip from the hands of the Red Luan Demon General. After taking a look she turned toward Chu Yuehe and said: ¡°Brother, if Taiyu Holy Sect is really as powerful as you say, will the Luoxia Mountains send that person out?¡±


    Chu Yuehe put down the white jade glass in his hand, shook his head and smiled: ¡°Taiyu Holy Sect rules the entire Yuanyan realm. Although it is unparalleled in power, but now I am heading there with master''s order. So I¡¯m sure it¡¯ll be safe¡±


    There were many conflict of interests between Qingluan Mountain Range and Taiyu Holy Sect. The White Egret Demon King''s alchemy court supplied about 20% of the pills to the Six Mountains and Three Realms, and the relationship between the two was extremely ambiguous. S?a??h the N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    What''s more, behind the Qingluan Mountains was the Bai Ye Demon Sect within the Bai Ye Realm, and Chu Yuehe was holding the token of Lord of the White Night Cave Haven. So he thought it would be very easy to go to the Luoxia Mountains to ask for a mere foreign sect disciple, and there was no need to be so labor-intensive.


    Since the White Egret Demon King had given his order, Chu Yuehe had no reason not to obey. So he left the barrier of the heavenly furnace with the escort of two demon generals and many demon spirits, and brought the Qing Di and set off towards the Luoxia Mountains.


    About a stick of incense later, the gray and white demon cloud passed to the cloudy and foggy Tong Ming Peak, and several upper Xuan Realm disciples of the Luoxia Mountain Range had looked solemn and walked towards the place where the demon cloud was.


    A green-robed disciple of the Tong Ming Peak stepped on a slightly smaller magic treasure lotus leaf, stopped in front of the huge demon cloud with a radius of tens of feet, and asked in a deep voice: ¡°Who is here!?¡±


    The Red Luan Demon General glanced at this disciple approvingly, took a step forward, and said: ¡°My son wants to meet the Lord of Luoxia Mountain, and I hope this junior brother will pass it on to you.¡±


    There were so many True Dao Realm were and there was no trace of fear on their faces, which made the demon spirits in the Qingluan Mountains little surprised.


    The patrolling disciple frowned slightly, his expression became more dignified, and he shook his head and said: ¡°The Lord of the Mountain rarely appears in front of people. Usually the top ten peaks and the Zongwu Palace of the Mountain Wufeng are in charge of this mountain. If you¡¯re looking for the Lord of the Mountain I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ve come to the wrong place.¡±


    The Red Luan Demon General stole a glance at Chu Yuehe¡¯s expression, then turned around and said with a smile: ¡°We are from the Baiye Demon Sect within the Baiye Realm, There is indeed something important to see the Lord of the Mountain.¡±


    After being silent for a moment the patrolling disciple''s face eased a little, looking at Chu Yuehe who was sitting on the Luanjia, cupped his hands, and said: ¡°It turns out that it is from the Baiye Demon Sect. Please stay here for a while, I will go to Tongming Peak Chaoxia Hall to report this matter.¡±


    The Baiye Realm was adjacent to the Yuan Yan Realm, and the Baiye Demon Sect was the most powerful sect that is almost similar to the Taiyu Holy Sect, and it was not appropriate to keep it out when the Red Luan Demon comes to his family''s doorstep.


    ¡°Is this Luoxia Mountain Range really just the Outer Sect of the Taiyu Holy Sect?¡± Qing Di smacked her tongue secretly on one side, ¡°The rules are so strict, and the disciples in the Xuan Realm are so flexible in their behavior. It''s really worthy of being the strongest sect in the Yuan Yan realm.¡±


    Chu Yuehe seemed to have been accustomed to this for a long time, stepped down from Luanjia, stood beside Qing Di, looked at the spiritual peaks and water, palaces and pavilions in the Luoxia Mountains, and said with a smile: ¡°Every supreme sect has various extremely strict rules and regulations. This is the case with the Taiyu Holy Sect, and so is my Baiye Demon Sect. You have been living in the Qingluan Mountains for a long time since you were born, and you are used to being lazy. After returning to White Cave Mountain, you will naturally feel better.¡±


    Qing Di pouted, and just as she was about to speak, there was a clear laughter from within Tongming Peak.


    ¡°I wonder which of the Baiye Demon Sect''s friends are here? I¡¯m sorry to missed the opportunity to have welcomed you. I¡¯ve been rude.¡±


    Liao Xun, the deputy peak master of Tongming Peak, stepped out from the Chaoxia Hall, with a smile on his face, and cupped his hands towards Chu Yuehe, but he already had some guesses in his heart.


    The Baiye Demon Sect was located within the Baiye Realm, and has almost no contact with the Yuan Yan Realm. The only thing that connects them was the alchemy laid by the Lord of the Baiye Cave Haven on the far side of the Taichu territory.


    ¡°I am Chu Yuehe, the sixth disciple of Lord Egret, now in charge of the Alchemy court in the Qingluan Mountain Range.¡± Chu Yuehe returned the salute with a vaguely proud look, ¡°This time I come to Luoxia mountain range to pay a visit to the Lord of the Luoxia Mountain.¡±


    Liao Xun was slightly startled, he never imagined that the ordinary-looking young man in front of him was actually the disciple of Baiye Cave Lord, the White Egret Demon King!


    After a moment of being dumbfounded, Liao Xun lowered his posture a little, and said with a smile. ¡°It turns out that it is Mr. Chu, a distinguished guest has come from afar, so please go to Tongming Peak for a while.¡±


    Chu Yuehe was already a little impatient, with his noble status, he was not willing to talk nonsense with a peak master in the Luoxia Mountain Range of the Outer Sect of the Taiyu Holy Sect. But he represented the Baiye Demon Sect, so he had to adhere to a few superficial tricks.


    Chu Yuehe slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "I am here to see Lord Luoxia for some important matters, and I really don''t have time to drink tea and talk, so please be considerate of me.¡±


    Saying this, he moved slightly to the side, and the Red Luan Demon General understood, took a step forward, and took out the white jade command talisman that exuded strong demonic power.


    Liao Xun''s complexion changed slightly, sensing the vast and unparalleled grand idea in the command talisman, he blurted out subconsciously: ¡°The demon king''s command talisman!¡±


    At the same time, Luoxia main peak, Xuan Yuan peak, Xing Yuan peak, Shan Xia peak and several power-holding peaks, also noticed something, and they all came towards Tongming Peak one after another.


    Boom!


    The sky and the earth suddenly became dark, countless thunderbolts exploded out of thin air, and the purple rainbow pierced through the sun, gradually condensing into tens of thousands of lightning chains, stretching across the sky of the Luoxia Mountains.


    In the middle of the thunder chains, there was an old man in a gray robe. This old man looked ordinary, but his eyes seemed like it contained everything. The birth and destruction, life and death, it was vast and ethereal like a galaxy, full of brilliant vitality at every moment.


    ¡°I''ve seen Mountain Lord!¡±


    ¡°Lord Mountain Master!¡±


    Many mountain masters bowed their heads and saluted respectfully towards the old man in a gray robe.


    This person was the owner of Luoxia Mountain who was also a prisoner, Ji Ming.


    Ji Ming was indifferent to the salutations of all the people in the Luoxia Mountains, but just looked down at the white jade talisman suspended above the gray and white monster cloud, slowly folded his wrinkled old hands together and arched his hand, he said in a hoarse voice: ¡°Ji Ming has met Lord Egret.¡±


    The white jade talisman trembled slightly for a moment, and directly turned into a blazing white rainbow, penetrating into the center of Ji Ming''s eyebrows.


    The Lord of Luoxia Mountain had no intersection with White Egret Demon Lord, and this salute to him was out of reverence and respect for the spirits of the divine palace.


    Even within the vast and boundless realm of Yuan Yan, there were only two creatures in the realm of the gods and spirits. Although the White Egret Demon Lord was the master of the Baiye Cave in the Baiye realm, his cultivation level was comparable to that of Taiyu Holy Sect. The difference between Taiyu Holy Sect and Yutai Realm Master was they were so powerful, and they were looked up by countless living beings.

 Ch. 125 - The Arrival of Egret Demon Monarch

    As the breath of the white jade talisman gradually dissipated, Ji Ming''s respectful expression eased a lot, but after a while, the Luoxia Mountain Lord frowned again.Glancing sideways at Liao Xun, the deputy peak master of Tongming Peak who was standing beside him, he slowly asked, "Except for the blood of Tongxuan Heart Ghost, who is the top in the entrance examination, are there any others in Eclipse Moon Peak? Another person called Ji Yuenian?"


    Liao Xun seemed to be stunned for a moment, and after a few breaths, he finally came back to his senses, and asked doubtfully, "My lord, what do you mean by that?"


    Ji Ming shook his head, flicked his sleeves lightly, and said to Chu Yuehe who hovered above the gray and white demon cloud: "Are you the Demon King''s disciple?"


    The Lord of Luoxia Mountain was a genuine powerhouse in the Divine Sea Embodiment Realm, and even the distinguished Chu Yuehe couldn¡¯t belittle him.


    Hearing his words, Chu Yuehe took a step forward, appearing neither humble nor overbearing, clasped his hands, and said, "Chu Yuehe has seen the mountain lord."


    Ji Ming nodded and said, "The meaning of the command talisman issued by Lord Bailu is to ask for a disciple in Eclipse Moon Peak. If he was normal, such a trivial matter wouldn¡¯t be a problem, but now..."


    Chu Yuehe''s heart sank, and he said, "My lord, there¡¯s no harm in telling us."


    "First, there is no one named Ji Yuenian in Eclipse Moon Peak," the vigorous vitality in Ji Ming''s eyes swept out, making the energy of heaven and earth intense in the hundred mile radius. "Second, there is indeed a disciple named Ji Yuenian in the Luoxia Mountain Range, who is currently practicing in Xingyuan Peak, but I, the Lord of the Luoxia Mountain, can¡¯t send this person out."


    "What do you mean?" Chu Yuehe''s eyes turned slightly cold. "Mountain Lord, it¡¯s my Master¡¯s order. Ji Yuenian is just a disciple of the Outer Sect of the Luoxia Mountain Range, so how can Taiyu Holy Sect doesn¡¯t give us face?¡±


    Ji Ming smiled, clasped his hands in the direction of the Qingluan Mountains, and said, "It''s a bit of a big deal for Lord Bailu to issue a decree for a mere disciple of a foreign sect, but it''s not up to me to decide what happens to this disciple."


    The peak master Li Shixuan of Xingyuan Peak arrived, glanced at Chu Yuehe and the others above the gray and white demon cloud, and said with a smile, "If it were someone else, it would be fine, but Ji Yuenian is the Holy Son candidate of the Third Mountain Range. The Luoxia Mountain Range can only request Lord Bailu''s kindness, and I hope you will forgive me."


    Under the witness of everyone present, Chu Yuehe''s complexion became hideous. It never occurred to him that the young man in black robe that Qingdi fell in love with had the honorable status of a Holy Son Candidate, which made him fall into a bit of a dilemma for a while.


    Ji Ming was silent for a moment, and said, "Old man, I would like to ask one more question, why did this disciple gain Lord Bailu''s attention?"


    Chu Yuehe''s expression was a little unnatural, and he glanced sideways at Qingdi who was hanging her head low in silence, and said, "This ¡­ it''s a long story."


    Qingdi raised her head suddenly, and said crisply, "I have admired Ji Yuenian since we met in Qingluan Mountains, and it was I who asked His Majesty to issue an order to bring him back to the Baiye Cave."


    After saying this, her fair and pretty face was already blushing.


    Countless eyes, both within and without the Tongming Peak, were all looking at the girl in the green skirt.


    Qingdi gritted her teeth lightly, and even her crystal-clear jade ears were stained a reddish tinge, but her clear eyes were unprecedentedly firm.


    Li Shixuan laughed a little for a while, and said, "I don''t know if the girl is ..." S~?a??h the N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    "Qingdi is Master''s newly accepted disciple," Chu Yuehe said from the side, "Back then in the Qingluan Mountains, I had tea with that Junior Brother Ji, and his appearance was indeed a bit amazing."


    "Miss Qingdi," Li Shixuan arched his hands towards Qingdi. "Ji Yuenian is not an ordinary disciple of the Outer Sect, but a heavenly talent who ranked first in the entrance examination, and the Holy Son Candidate of the Third Mountain Range. Even if the Luoxia Mountains wants to send him out, the Qingluo Realm, one of the three realms of the Holy Sect, will definitely not allow it."


    Qingdi obviously didn''t know the weight behind the position of a "Holy Son Candidate", she went silent for a moment, bit her lips and said, "Could it be that an order from His Highness isn¡¯t sufficient?"


    Li Shixuan fell silent, and retreated directly behind the gray-robed old man without saying a word.


    Ji Ming, the Lord of Luoxia Mountain, smiled and said, "Little Qingdi, Lord Bailu is the master of Baiye Cave, and he has known us for a long time, but after all, this disciple is a Holy Son Candidate who hold records in the Qingluo Realm. Why don''t I go to Qingluo territory to inquire first, and give you an answer after a while, how about it?"


    Although Lord Bailu was a powerful and high-ranking powerhouse in the Divine Sea Embodiment Realm, this place was after all the Taiyu Holy Sect of the Earth Realm, not the Baiye Cave that he ruled.


    Even if everyone in the Luoxia Mountains respected and feared the Lord Bailu, it would not harm the actual interests of the Taiyu Holy Sect.


    Ji Yuenian not only had ignited the Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence, but also had the blood of the extremely rare Tongxuan Heart Ghost. When he first entered the sect examination, he even passed three hundred steps above the Cloud Climbing Stone Steps, and created a sensation. The Six Mountain Ranges were fighting each other for him.


    Qingdi naturally knew that Luoxia Mountain Lord''s words were an excuse, and subconsciously looked sideways at Chu Yuehe.


    Chu Yuehe felt a little overwhelmed, sighed lightly, and said, "Junior Sister, you can''t do anything, you ..."


    Before this remark fell, there were countless heavenly sounds descending from the sky far away.


    A vast pressure swept across the world, and the hearts and minds of countless creatures in the Yuanyan Land were shaken, and they all looked in the direction of the Luoxia Mountains.


    Many graceful women stepped out of nothingness, including young girls, and women in palace costumes with beautiful faces. Many beauties danced in neon clothes, with red sleeves full of fragrance. There were a total of sixteen people.


    The sixteen beauties were all extremely tyrannical in cultivation, not only were there many in the True Dao Realm, but even two of them were in the Divine Sea Embodiment Realm.


    Those beauties knelt down above the clouds, bowed their heads, and looked extremely respectful.


    The figure of a white-robed man slowly emerged, his face was blurred, and even Ji Ming, who was in the Divine Sea Emboidment Realm, couldn''t see it clearly.


    "My lord, Egret!"


    Ji Ming''s expression changed slightly, and he noticed the majestic aura around the man in white robe, and felt a tremble instinctively from the depths of his heart.


    Many creatures in the Luoxia Mountains bowed down one after another, unable to speak a complete sentence under this terrifying pressure.


    The man in the white robe glanced over Ji Ming with blurred eyes, and said, "You are the only remaining blood of the Ji family."


    Ji Ming revealed a complicated look in his eyes, and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."


    "I came to the Qingluan Mountains in the Earth Realm as an incarnation. According to the promise, I specially refined a batch of Ascending Profound Pill for Brother Taiye, and I am about to go to the Taiyu Realm to meet my old friend." The white-robed man turned his head and looked in the direction of the Six Mountains and Three Realms of Taiyu Holy Sect.


    Ji Ming naturally knew the meaning behind Bailu¡¯s words, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, the person Qingdi girl wants ..."


    Bailu waved his hand lightly, and said, "No problem, I came here just to take him away. After leaving the Taiyu Realm, I will directly return to the Baiye Cave."


    Flicking his snow-white sleeve robe, he directly took away Chu Yuehe, Qingdi and others with him.


    Ji Ming wanted to say something more, but when he looked intently, there was an empty space beyond Tongming Peak, and there was no one left.


    Jade Terrace Realm.


    Yu Jingtian looked at the scene inside the light curtain, with a hint of a smile in his eyes, and said to himself. "Egret was humiliated by the junior, but in the end this pot will fall in his hands, it''s funny."

 Ch. 126

    "There is a lot to be done about this matter."The plain voice came to his ear, and Yu Jingtian looked up in response.


    The figure of the Earth Realm God was condensed, and the eyes flickering with divine light were quietly gazing at the Luoxia Mountain, which was obscured by the clouds and mist within the light curtain.


    Yu Jingtian raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean?"


    Yuanyan City God took a look at him, and his eyes turned dark. "There is only one Baiye Cave within the Baiye Realm, and there is no righteous god of heaven and earth guarding it."


    "You want to plot against the will power of the living beings within the territory of the Baiye Demon Sect?" Yu Jingtian seemed a little surprised, and couldn''t help but re-examine the Yuanyan City God.


    ¡°Before the Taiyu Holy Sect, there was Daoist Taiye, and later you took over the Jade Terrace Realm again. In the Earth Realm, there are already two beings in the Divine Sea Emboidment Realm, how can we not plan?"


    Yu Jingtian shook his head, and said, "Brother Taiye is calm, I''m afraid he doesn''t want to work with you and me."


    Earth Realm God''s eyes trembled, and he said with a smile, "Daoist Taiye has only Taiyu Holy Sect in his mind, and this is his weakness."


    After saying this, under his robe sleeves, divine power surged, and an ancient divine seal condensed, slowly falling in front of Yu Jingtian. s?a??h th? N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Yu Jingtian picked up the divine seal, his expression gradually became solemn; he stroked the intricate patterns carved on it, looked up at Earth Realm God, Zunshen, with a calm face, and said, "So you had this intention for a long time."


    "Using this incident as a guide, you can take the lead."


    While the god smiled lightly, his vague figure gradually faded away.


    Yu Jingtian didn''t care about Earth Realm God''s departure, and lowered his eyes, staring blankly at the ancient god seal.


    There were several gold characters engraved on it.


    Baiye Realm God''s Imperial Divine Seal.


    ...


    Cui Ri Ancient City.


    "Daoist Brother¡¯s current cultivation is clearly only at the initial stage of the True Dao Realm, but you can make me feel a great sense of crisis. It is really strange."


    Qiongyu Daozi looked at Ji Yuenian who seemed to be a different person, and smiled lightly.


    Ji Yuenian''s strength in the Xuan Realm was too terrifying. Now that he had broken into the True Dao Realm, his real strength had suddenly increased to an extremely terrifying level. Whether it was the twelve-petal black jade lotus platform or the divine skills, they had all been greatly improved and precipitated.


    Ji Yuenian pondered for a moment, then waved his sleeves and took out a Profound Snow Sword with an icy blue halo, and said, "Brother Qiongyu, use your thunder skill."


    Qiongyu Daozi took the sword, sensed the terrifying power contained in it, and said with a smile, "As expected, it is the ultimate spiritual weapon of the offensive type, its sharpness is enough to cut through everything, and it is better than my Purple Gold Carved Dragon Hammer."


    At that time, the body of snow sword was surrounded by a huge amount of pitch-black divine power, and it was impossible to truly integrate into it.


    If Ji Yuenian used the phantom of Psychic Karma Fire to devour it, all those divine powers would be absorbed into the twelve-petal black jade lotus platform.


    At that time, Ji Yuenian wanted to refine these divine powers into the Profound Snow Sword to enhance the power of this top-quality spiritual weapon, and Qiongyu Daozi''s thunder skill would come in handy at this time.


    "After the divine body of the evil god collapsed, I absorbed sixty percent of its divine power, and the other forty percent source of divine power was actually sealed into this sword by Fellow Daoist." The Dragon Hammer appeared in his hand, and several extremely violent lightning roared, moving towards the pitch-black divine power on Snow Sword.


    The top grade of alchemy required the heart fire of a living being.


    The top grade of refining equipment required the thunder in the hands of living beings.


    Although any living being could refine treasures as long as there were sufficient spiritual materials, the advantages of beings who could practice Thunder skills in refining weapons were simply incomparable.


    "Brother, we have entered the outer city of the ancient city of Cui Ri."


    Wang Yueyang walked over to the Luan Bird¡¯s back, saluted Ji Yuenian and Qiongyu Daozi, and spoke respectfully.


    Qiongyu Daozi was holding the Purple Gold Carved Dragon Hammer to refine those pitch-black divine powers into the Profound Snow Sword, so he had no time to respond.


    Ji Yuenian stood up, looked at the bustling scene below Luan Bird, and said, "The ancient city of Cui Ri is vast, and the vitality of heaven and earth is highly intense over there. It is not uncommon for it to be able to give birth to creatures in the Divine Sea Emboidment Realm."


    Wang Yueyang nodded in agreement and said, "Of the nineteen ancient cities ruled by Taiyu Holy Sect, the ancient city of Cui Ri can be ranked in the top three. Chen Family''s Supreme Elder not only possesses astonishing talent, but also has cultivated quietly for many years. This breakthrough into the realm of Divine Sea Emboidment Realm has added 3,200 years to his lifespan, which is truly enviable.¡±


    While he was speaking, there were several rainbow lights coming towards them from hundreds of feet away. Looking at their aura, they were all powerhouses in the True Dao Realm.


    "Are you Fellow Daoists from Taiyu Holy Sect?"


    The leader among them stopped, looked carefully at Luan Bird under the feet of Ji Yuenian and the others, clasped his hands and asked with a smile.


    The Luan Bird family was a spiritual bird raised by the Taiyu Holy Sect, and was rarely used by other forces in the Yuanyan Realm, so the identities of Ji Yuenian and others were not difficult to discern.


    Yu Yan took a step forward, returned a salute, and said, "I''m from the Luoxia Mountains, and I''m here to congratulate Elder Chen Yanyang for breaking into the Divine Sea Emboidment Realm."


    The leader nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Please come with me, the Chen family has built many palaces and pavilions for Fellow Daoists, so that you can rest temporarily during the ceremony."


    Qiongyu Daozi was sitting beside Luan Bird¡¯s sky-green crown feather, and was helping Ji Yuenian refine the divine power attached to the Snow Sword, so these people did not recognize his identity for a while.


    After a few breaths, the people from the Shouyan Mountain Range also came from behind, and several members of the Chen family went up to meet them, leading them into the depths of the ancient city of Cui Ri one after another.


    ...


    Taiyu Realm.


    On the top of the gigantic mountain, under the gate of the Snow Palace.


    "This has a total of thirteen exalted elixirs of Ascending Profound Dan," the man in the white robe said as he waved his sleeve, taking out a small gourd, "I will keep three, and the remaining ten shall be given to Daoist Taiye. What do you think?"


    At that time, his face was no longer blurred, and the appearance of the Lord Bailu was fully revealed.


    "Daoist Brother actually refined this pill."


    Taiye Daoist''s tone was calm, but there was a little surprise in his eyes.


    Bailu smiled and said, "The Qingluan Mountains are a unique place for gathering yin. Under the blessing of the Heavenly Furnace Barrier, this potion of medicine is based on thirty-six ghosts in the True Dao Realm. The alchemy is refined by the method of Spiritual Transformation."


    "Won¡¯t the Qingluan Mountain Range be empty after refining these Pills?" Daoist Taiye stretched out his white and slender fingers from the sleeve robe, and gently took the small gourd.


    "Fellow Daoist, you can use local materials within the Yuanyan realm, just avoid the disciples of Taiyu Holy Sect."

 Ch. 127

    "Brother Taiye''s temperament is still the same, it hasn''t changed at all," Yaojun Bailu shook his head, seeming to sigh. "Whether it is the holy sect or the demon sect, they are just tools for us to go further. Daoist Brother Taiye is willing to put the cart before the horse, preferring to stagnate his cultivation and take care of the sect''s affairs, which is really admirable."Daoist Master Taiye caressed the small gourd containing the Exalted Elixirs of Ascending Profound pill, and it disappeared in his hand. He turned his head to look at Bailu, and said, "Brother, your words are mistaken. While you were able to ruthlessly refine the entire ¡®Baiye Demon Sect into the Baiye Heavenly Realm, where you are like an all-powerful deity, it does not necessarily mean you can further advance. As for me, though I may appear to have delayed my cultivation due to my wholehearted dedication to the Taiyu Holy Sect, it is not truly the case."


    These words were a bit harsh, but Bailu Demon Monarch had always been aware of Daoist Taiye''s weird temperament, and he never cared too much about it. He was silent for a few breaths, and said, "After my order arrived at the Luoxia Mountains, no one obeyed it. From the looks of it, you have a tight grip on your subordinates."


    Outside the Snow Palace, it had been filled with heavy snow for many years.


    At that time, there were profuse snowflakes swirling down, burying into the blazing white spiritual curtain beside the majestic gate of the Snow Palace, and falling into the pitch-black hair of Daoist Taiye.


    Picking up a crystal-clear snowflake, Daoist Taiye suddenly showed a little smile in his eyes, and said, "These people really deserve to be punished."


    It seemed that his words were not finished, but he never finished the second half of the sentence. Obviously, he had clearly sensed the emotions of the Bailu Demon Monarch.


    Bailu Demon Monarch was startled for a moment, but fell silent for a while.


    As the aloof master of the Baiye Cave, the Bailu Demon Monarch had long been accustomed to wearing various masks all the time, and had never shown his true emotions in front of people for a long time.


    Only in front of Daoist Taiye who was in the realm of the Divine Sea Realm, would this extremely noble demon subconsciously reveal a trace of annoyance, expressing his dissatisfaction with the people in the Luoxia Mountain Range.


    The powerhouse in the Divine Sea Emboidment Realm were also living beings, and they also had the seven emotions and six desires, greed, anger, and hatred.


    "Pass on the edict."


    The plain voice of Daoist Taiye exhoed in the heavy snow.


    The space under the Snow Palace twisted and changed, and a white-haired man in a purple-patterned star-studded robe stepped out, saluted Taiye Daoist and said, "I have seen the Lord of the Taiyu Realm, Lord Taiye Yuanjun. "


    "Decree that Ji Ming, the master of the Luoxia Mountain Range, be sentenced to 1,500 years of imprisonment, plus 200 years of punishment through baptism of water, lightning, and fire."


    The face of the star-robed man changed slightly, but he didn''t ask any more questions. He just shook the sleeves of the purple-patterned star-robed robe, took the edict condensed by Daoist Taiye with spiritual essence, and respectfully said, "I obey the edict of the Lord of the Realm."


    Master Taiye nodded slightly, and said, "Go now."


    As the star-robed man left, the silence gradually returned under the gate of the Snow Palace. At this time, the Bailu Demon Monarch actually held up one of the snowflakes, and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, my Baiye Cave Heaven still lacks some celestial phenomena, a little too much. I will take some Taiyu Spirit Snow back with me."


    "This sleeve of yours has fully collected the over five thousand miles worth of snow in my Taiyu Realm, it''s really not ¡®some¡¯."


    As if he hadn''t heard of it, Bailu Demon Monarch directly put away the snow in his sleeves, and said, "The Qingluan Mountains are indeed more than half empty. After a while, I will send another person who is in charge of alchemy. In addition to collecting local materials within Earth Realm¡¯s territory, I will also help Taiyu Holy Sect to clean up some pest."


    Daoist Taiye turned around and walked into the Snow Palace, only the faint and indifferent voice lingered in his ears.


    "For nearly a thousand years, Taiyu Holy Sect has been too indulgent to the creatures in Earth realm, and even some creatures dared not take Holy Sect seriously in private, so they really should be disciplined."


    Bailu Demon Monarch stood quietly in the snow for a moment, all the real emotions in his eyes were suppressed, and gradually hid in the mist.


    In front of Daoist Taiye, he was just a normal man.


    Away from here, he was still aloof and unfathomable as the Lord of the Baiye Cave Haven, with unparalleled majesty.


    ¡­ S?a?ch* Th? ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    The boundary of Earth Realm, Frontier.


    "Qingdi, what are you going to do again?"


    Chu Yuehe frowned and looked at the young lady in the green robe above the gray and white demon clouds ...


    The Red Luan Demon General beside him also stepped forward and said, "Miss Qingdi, don''t worry, after crossing this boundary river, you will be within the territory of Baiye."


    Under the edict of the Bailu Demon Monarch, Chu Yuehe took the green flute and turned back to Baiye Cave Haven first. During the time when he was in charge of the Qingluan Mountains, the Red Luan Demon General was very sensible. After getting out of the Heavenly Furnace barrier, he would be able to establish himself in the Baiye Demon Sect.


    Qingdi looked around, and although there were only Chu Yuehe and Red Luan Demon General on the gray and white demon cloud, they were far from being her opponent. While frowning, she still held the demon cloud core token tightly in her hand, and said, "I''m in a restless mood right now, and I can''t go to the Baiye Cave."


    Chu Yuehe became more and more helpless, and randomly made a seal, and the demon cloud Token Talisman in Qingdi''s palm disappeared, and appeared in his hand after a while.


    "Junior Sister, what exactly do you intend to do?"


    Qingdi sat on the ground above the demon cloud and murmured, "The more I am about to leave the Earth realm, the more irritable my mind becomes. I don''t know why this kind of mood has accompanied me all this time. Although it is indeed related to him, it is not necessarily the case."


    Chu Yuehe and Red Luan Demon General naturally know that the "he" in Qingdi''s words referred to Ji Yuenian in Xingyuan Peak of Luoxia Mountain.


    The Red Luan Monster General was silent for a moment, and said, "Young Master Chu, there is a vague record about the Heart Devouring Demon in my original memory, but it is too old, so I don''t know if it is true or not."


    Chu Yuehe''s gaze moved, and he said, "It''s okay, tell me about it."


    "The Heart Devouring Ghost is an extremely rare mutation of the ancestral devouring type Ghost. Although it is extremely talented, it has a fatal flaw." The Red Luan Monster General recalled the sporadic records deep in his original memory, and said slowly, "The fundamental reason that caused the Heart Devouring Ghost to be has a decisive impact on its future practice."


    With how clever Chu Yuehe was, he understood the meaning of Red Luan Demon General''s words in a moment, and said with surprise, "You mean that Qingdi was originally just a Heart Devouring Ghost, and it was Ji Yuenian who made her chance by coincidence, that''s why she looks like this ¡­¡±


    The Red Luan Demon General nodded, and said: "This is indeed my guess, but the birth of the Heart Devouring Ghost is too complicated, and I can''t be sure at this time."


    On the thousand-foot-wide boundary river, violent waves surged up.


    Chu Yuehe looked sideways at Qingdi, and said, "Junior Sister Qingdi, Master''s orders cannot be disobeyed, you first follow me to the Baiye Cave Haven, and I will arrange your identity, cave, resources, spiritual weapons, etc. After everything is settled, if you want to go to the Yuanyan Realm again, it will be no proble at all."


    Qingdi hung her head in silence, and when she raised her head again, her eyes were full of confusion.

 Ch. 128

    Cui Ri Ancient City, the Chen family.Yuting Palace.


    "Junior Brother Ji, this sword is for you."


    A group of people walked under the palace gate. S?a??h th? N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Qiongyu Daozi stretched out his hand, and a long sword appeared. The sword body was glowing with icy cold light, and its tip faintly had a flickering moon-like sword light. Anyone would feel a slight chill emanating from it, and it was obviously sharp to the extreme.


    Ji Yuenian took the refined Snow Sword, took a deep look at Qiongyu Daozi, and said, "Thank you, Brother Qiongyu."


    Qiongyu Daozi waved his hand, but before he could speak, the member of the Chen family who was leading the way stepped forward and said respectfully, "Fellow Daoists, you can rest in the Yuting Palace."


    There were dozens of palaces in the Chen family''s ancestral land, all of which were majestic. The Yuting Palace was the top-grade palace among them.


    "Thank you."


    Wang Yueyang thanked him, and started talking to the members of the Chen family.


    Yu Yan followed Ji Yuenian and Qiongyu Daozi into the Yuting Palace. After seeing the real image of the gods enshrined in the palace, her eyes lit up, and she directly started worshiping on the futon.


    Ji Yuenian stood quietly in the main hall of Yuting Palace while looking at the statue of God in the palace''s place of honor. He seemed to be in deep thought.


    "Junior Brother Ji, why don''t you worship the statue of Luoshui God?"


    Qiongyu Daozi''s voice reached his ears.


    The thoughtful look in Ji Yuenian''s eyes became more and more intense, and when he looked up at the pupils of the Luoshui God, which were as white as snow, there was a throbbing sensation in the depths of his mind that emerged without warning.


    The Luoshui God, a fifth-ranked god, was a god who lived on the bank of the Northern Sea.


    "Junior Brother Ji, what''s wrong with you?"


    Qiongyu Daozi looked over with concern, and Ji Yuenian looked sideways, but he could only see clarity in his eyes.


    Weird!


    Ji Yuenian was emotional, but didn''t show the slightest bit of emotion on his face. He suppressed the thoughts and said with a smile, "Brother Qiongyu''s attainments in the art of refining are so profound, it really opened my eyes."


    Qiongyu Daozi smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, and said, "Junior brother overpraises me."


    Seemingly aware that Ji Yuenian''s mind had returned to calm, Qiongyu Daozi said it, and directly chose a room in Yuting Palace, and left the main hall.


    Yu Yan turned around and walked a little closer to Ji Yuenian, with the water in her beautiful eyes. She said with a smile, "Brother, I ..."


    Ji Yuenian gently raised the Profound Snow Sword in his hand, held the girl''s slender white jade hand, and said softly, "Yu Yan."


    This sentence already contained a little power of the Great Compassion Mantra, but Yu Yan''s reaction made Ji Yuenian even more serious.


    While taking her hand, the long sword was melted into thousands of snowflakes, which scattered down on Ji Yuenian''s side.


    "Brother, why are you so confused?"


    Yu Yan complained coquettishly, then directly chose a side hall in Yuting Palace, and walked in without looking back.


    The situation was even more treacherous!


    Who knows when but Qiongyu Daozi''s temperament had changed drastically, and even Yu Yan seemed to have changed. This place was shrouded in thick fog, which was extremely weird!


    Ji Yuenian glanced at the snowflakes falling on the bricks of the palace, and his heart moved. He stepped out of Yuting Palace directly.


    What he could see made his eyes sink completely!


    Outside the Yuting Palace was not a group of Chen family palaces at all, but the Beihai Sea curtain that obscured the sky and the sun!


    There were many creatures walking in front of him one after another, in a hurry.


    Ji Yuenian pondered for a moment, stopped a human creature in the True Dao Realm, and said, "Dare I ask you why you are in such a hurry?"


    Hearing this, the person in the True Dao Realm looked surprised, looked at Ji Yuenian carefully, and said slowly, "As a person who observes the sacrifice in Yuting Palace, don''t you know what will happen in a few days, in the Sea Sacrificial Ceremony?"


    "Sea Sacrificial Ceremony?" Ji Yuenian frowned slightly and murmured to himself.


    In this short moment, the person in the True Dao Realm had already left here, and hastily rushed towards the Northern Sea under the sea curtain.


    At this time, Ji Yuenian could be sure, but at some point, he had already fallen into an illusionary realm. The power of this illusory realm was so powerful that even Qiongyu Daozi, Yu Yan and others were imitated by him.


    It was just that Ji Yuenian had a clever mind and had already noticed the subtle changes in Qiongyu Daozi, but he didn''t act rashly before he figured out the reality of this illusion.


    The power of the bloodline rushed out, turning into some thin air of heaven and earth, lingering around his body.


    After a few breaths, Ji Yuenian''s eyes were slightly cold, and he waved his sleeves to dissipate some of the yin qi from his side.


    In this illusion, the blood power of Heart-devouring Ghost was suppressed by as much as 80%, which showed how terrifying it was.


    Ji Yuenian was already in the True Dao Realm, and under the blessing of psychic karma fire, his telepathy was comparable to that of a creature in the True Dao Realm, but he still didn''t notice the oppression of this illusion.


    Since it was impossible to escape from this weird illusion at this moment, he could only wait and see what happens.


    Setting his mind, Ji Yuenian stepped directly on the stone steps and walked towards the Yuting Palace.


    As soon as he entered the palace, he saw the scattered snowflakes on the palace bricks that had not yet melted.


    As a blessing, Ji Yuenian gently flicked his sleeves, and a jet-black flame appeared, rolling up all the frost, and gradually condensed it into the shape of a three-foot long sword.


    The hilt was engraved with incomparably complicated ancient incantations, and the moon-white sword body was burning with jet-black flames. Against the crystal clear Profound snow sword, it was incomparably magnificent.


    The name of the sword, Profound Snow Sword.


    Reaching out to take the long sword, and sensing the terrifying power contained within it, Ji Yuenian calmed down a little, and also chose a room in Yuting Palace, and walked in directly.


    ...


    "Where did Brother Ji Yuenian go?"


    Qiongyu Daozi stood on top of Qingluan''s head, with a solemn expression, and asked Yu Yan and Wang Yueyang in a deep voice.


    Yu Yan was a little at a loss, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness Daozi, I don''t know."


    "This matter is very strange. As soon as I arrived at the Chen family, Brother Ji Yuenian disappeared from my senses. It is really puzzling." Qiongyu Daozi frowned slightly, looking at the continuous line of sight in the Chen family. There were endless palaces and pavilions, and there was a hint of disbelief in his expression.


    ...


    There were many kinds of righteous gods, among which the lowest level of the ninth grade gods included the mountain gods, land gods and river gods divided by territory.


    The Luoshui God was a demon god.


    ...


    "Senior Brother Ji."


    "Senior Brother Ji."


    A numb voice without a trace of emotion drifted from outside the hall, and Ji Yuenian sat in the hall, turning a deaf ear to the shouts outside the hall.


    The voice came out of nowhere, and it had been a full three hours so far, but there was no one outside the hall, which made people feel a little creeped out.

 Ch. 129 - Sea Sacrificial Ceremony, Demon God

    The voice was getting closer and closer, and in the end, it bounced through the palace wall and fell in Ji Yuenian''s ear!"Senior Brother Ji!"


    The voice of resentment resounded deep in his soul. Ji Yuenian slowly opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was a beautiful and pretty little face.


    Azure blue hair cascaded down her shoulder as Yu Yan pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Ji, the Sea Sacrificial Ceremony will commence in three days, don''t sleep anymore."


    Following her words, there was a pure blue light flickered in the hall, and it seemed as if the heaven and earth were following its rhythm.


    He found that it had already been several days and nights. S?a?ch* Th? Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Ji Yuenian stood up slowly, and unconsciously followed Yu Yan out of Yuting Palace, raised his head, and looked up at the vast water curtain beside the North Sea.


    The blue light that reflected the heaven and the earth shone on top of this water curtain.


    The Earth Realm was located on the outskirts of the Beiju Continent, bordering the boundless Northern Sea. Prior to several catastrophic calamities, it was once part of a larger region along with several surrounding desolate realms, known as the Luoshui Sea Realm.


    The North Sea, which runs through the sky, had been undergoing drastic changes for an unknown number of years. The towering waves on its surface reach tens of thousands of feet high, carrying an unparalleled calamitous force. If allowed to continue, the forming colossal waves could eventually devastate a large portion of the Beiju Continent.


    Despite the arrival of several upper-level deities from the 33 Heavens and the Xuanhai Heaven, the flood in the Northern Sea remained unresolved. After consultation among the upper-level deities, they collectively went to meet the Heavenly King Duowen, who oversaw the Beiju Continent, and eventually invited him to the Luoshui Sea Realm.


    Although Heavenly King Duowen stopped the flood, he could not restore the Northern Sea to its original state, so he had to set up a veil of mist covering the sky on the bank of the Northern Sea, so that the creatures in the Luoshui Sea Realm would go forward and sacrifice to it, generation after generation.


    After the Sea Sacrificial Ceremony every ten thousand years, the cultivation system in the Luoshui Sea Realm would collapse, and 90% of the living beings would be wiped out. It had been like this for countless years.


    "Do you know that these records are actually just a hoax?"


    Yu Yan stood beside Ji Yuenian, looking at the monstrous water curtain glowing with blue light, and said softly, "The creatures after the sacrifices all dissipated between heaven and the earth, but have you ever thought that where does these all souls go?"


    Ji Yuenian glanced at her and said, "The Dragon Palace in the Northern Sea."


    After he said those words, the whole world seemed to be quiet for a moment.


    In the dark, it seemed that there were ancient eyes staring from unknown places.


    For the first time, Yu Yan showed a very obvious look of shock, and said, ¡°You ..."


    Ji Yuenian shook his head slightly, and said, "There''s no need to deliberately play tricks on me. If my predictions are correct, there won''t be any floods at all. The so-called catastrophe and floods should be just a conflict between Xuanhai Heaven and the Northern Sea¡¯s Dragon Palace."


    The Heavenly Court had 33 Heavens, and the second heaven was Xuanhai Heaven, which nominally controlled the Eastern Sea, Western Sea, Southern Sea, and Northern Sea sides of the four major continents.


    But the four seas had long been governed by the extremely noble Dragon Palace, and the four seas¡¯ Dragon Palace had its own background and backing in the heavenly courts.


    "How can you guess these arcane secrets?"


    Yu Yan had a complete change of expression. Her pretty face was only a foot away from Ji Yuenian, and she gazed at him pointedly.


    Ji Yuenian was more sure of his guess, he calmed down a little, glanced at the girl, and said, "Don''t play tricks with me anymore, what do you want me to do?"


    "I want to revive the God of Luoshui, integrate more than ten land realms on the banks of the Northern Sea, and regain control of the Luoshui Sea Realm!"


    The girl had lost Yu Yan''s appearance at that time, revealing her true face.


    The frost like white hair was several feet long, dancing and fluttering behind her.


    Dressed in jet-black, with bare feet hovering in the air, that girl was actually of an extremely rare divine bloodline.


    The gods of heaven and earth who had never opened a shrine couldn¡¯t give birth to blood descendants at all, but everything in the world had never been absolute. Under some extremely harsh environments, even imperial gods who had never opened a shrine might have children.


    Beside the two of them, the Sea Sacrificial Ceremony had started.


    Ji Yuenian knew that these were scenes from several eons ago, so he didn''t look at them, and said to the barefoot girl, "The Luoshui Sea Realm has long been annihilated in the long river of time, you are too naive."


    "I''ve waited for so long, and finally I''ve found someone who is destined to enter Luoshui''s divine seal." The long snow-white hair fluttered behind the barefoot girl, and her pale eyes were filled with unquestionable dignity. ¡°If you don¡¯t do what I say, I will directly kill you within the divine seal.¡±


    Ji Yuenian laughed a little, and said, "If I don''t listen to your orders, I will be killed; but if I listen to your words, I will end up more miserable."


    The barefoot girl''s complexion changed several times in succession, but in the end she forcibly suppressed the killing intent towards Ji Yuenian deep in her heart, and said, "It is rare for someone who can enter the Luoshui Divine Seal, but I can afford to wait."


    "If you could afford to wait, you wouldn''t be so impatient to take me into the illusion of the divine seal," Ji Yuenian seemed to see through the girl''s thoughts, and there was no trace of fear or panic in his eyes. "Previously, you wanted to confuse me, but unfortunately your acting skills are too clumsy, obviously you have never really dealt with living beings before."


    "You want to die?!"


    The girl''s black dress danced wildly, and a moon-white aura directly suppressed Ji Yuenian, throwing him into the increasingly violent and monstrous sea.


    ...


    "How could this happen?"


    Chen Yanshou looked dignified, and sat down with Daozi Qiongyu separately, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness Daozi, is it true that the third Holy Son Candidate of the Taiyu Holy Sect has disappeared?"


    Qiongyu Daozi nodded, with some doubts still evident in his expression. He said, "I was cultivating at that time, and I suddenly lost the aura of Daoist Ji Yuenian, and when I was looking for him, I couldn¡¯t find a single trace of him."


    Chen Yanshou couldn''t help standing up, walked back and forth in the hall, and said, "Could it be that those evil gods attacked and killed him? But, this is the ancestral land of my Chen family, with the Supreme Elder in charge. No evil gods should be so presumptuous."


    Chen Yanyang, the Grand Elder of the Chen family, had broken into the Divine Sea Realm, and the status of many relatives who were close to him in the Chen family had also risen. Chen Yanshou was one of them.


    Qiongyu Daozi thought for a moment, and said, "Elder Yanshou, it¡¯s not too late, please let me have an audience with the Supreme Elder, and report this matter, so that he can sense throughout Cui Ri, and see if he can find the trail of Brother Ji Yuenian."


    Chen Yanshou looked distressed, and said slowly, "After the Supreme Elder broke into the Divine Sea Emboidment Realm, he became more and more powerful. He just killed several descendants of the Chen family casually a few days ago, and he even passed down an oral order not to allow anyone to see him. Even though I am a relative of his clan, I dare not take such a risk."


    "If something really happened to Daoist Ji Yuenian, do you think the Taiyu Holy Sect will not pursue the Chen family for an answer?" Daozi Qiongyu snorted coldly. "Although I am not a member of the Taiyu Holy Sect, I too know that the weight of the words behind a Holy Son Candidate."

 Ch. 130 - Goddess Luoshui

    Chen Yanshou hesitated for a while, but still nodded, and said, "Your Highness Daozi, please rest here for a while. I will go to the ancestral court of the Chen family and report the disappearance of the Holy Son Candidate of the Third Mountain. Let the Supreme Elder make a decision."Qiongyu Daozi stood up, thought for a moment, and said, "As far as I know, Elder Chen Yanyang has a reputation in the Cui Ri territory. Why has his temperament become so abnormal after breaking through?"


    "I don''t know," Chen Yanshou said with a wry smile, "After Elder Taishang broke into the Divine Sea Realm, his personality changed drastically. Now people in the Chen family are also in a panic, and there are a lot of speculations in private to the reason."


    Having said this, Chen Yanshou obviously didn''t want to bring up the matter again, and after meeting Qiongyu Daozi again, he turned around and left the palace.


    Qiongyu Daozi stood alone in the palace, drowning in his own thoughts.


    Ji Yuenian had suddenly disappeared. Chen Yanyang, the elder of the Chen family, seemed to have changed into a different person.


    Within the Cui Ri, the seal of the righteous god was split into several pieces.


    Various evil gods had emerged.


    "What is the relation between these incidents?"


    Qiongyu Daozi walked out of the palace room and looked up at the vast sky in the extreme north, where there were endless misty clouds, and another 20,000 miles away or so, there was a vast and boundless Northern Sea.


    Before several great calamities, there used to be a sea curtain that covered the entire area with an impenetrable veil, shrouding the entire Luoshui Sea Realm on the shores of the Northern Sea.


    ¡­


    Luoshui was one of the numerous tributaries of the Northern Sea at the border of Beijulu Continent. As time passed, sentient beings gradually emerged within it and were recognized by the laws of heaven and earth as the Upper God of Luoshui, wielding the divine seal with the spirit of the river, and overseeing the Luoshui Sea Realm.


    The sound of turbulent water rang softly in his ears. Ji Yuenian slowly opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was the clear blue sky.


    "Here ..."


    Ji Yuenian tried to move his fingers, but there was a feeling of cold moisture around his fingertips. He couldn''t help squinting his pupils, and looked at the seemingly endless blue sky again.


    It was not the sky at all, but the North Sea realm on the side of Beijulu Continent!


    The extremely high blue sky was the surface of the North Sea which was extremely far away!


    "Mountain Spirit, this place is already on the verge of the Northern Sea, and we can''t go any further. Let''s go back soon."


    The sweet voice came, and Ji Yuenian looked back, and what he saw was a beautiful and incomparably plain-clothed goddess.


    This goddess was dressed in layers of moon-white gauze, with two blue silk ribbons dancing behind her, and her white hair was like snow, cascading down her slender bare feet.


    Ji Yuenian was about to speak, but found that he couldn''t make a sound at all. While in a trance, his wrist was suddenly caught by the goddess, and she pulled him away towards the extremely high blue curtain.


    "Since my metamorphosis, I haven''t really entered the depths of the boundless Northern Sea. At most, I can only stay in this shallow place, and I can¡¯t get a glimpse of the vast and magnificent Northern Sea."


    The white-haired goddess led Ji Yuenian to climb rapidly in the sea, and there was a sense of regret in her words.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, in the depths of the deep and vast Northern Sea, there was an incomparable trembling sound! s?a??h th? ??v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    The white-haired goddess slowed down a bit, and she turned her head towards the deep Northern Sea, with doubts in her eyes.


    But after a few short breaths, her brows were tightly wrinkled, and she said anxiously, "Not good!"


    After the words fell, her long snow-white hair fluttered and danced, and the mighty divine power surged out, leading Ji Yuenian to move upwards at a terrifying speed.


    Boom!


    In the vast Beijulu Continent, countless tyrannical creatures were alarmed, and their eyes solemnly gazed towards the bank of the Northern Sea.


    The next moment, an incomparably terrifying wave swept out from the depths of the Northern Sea. The earth trembled, and a monstrous wave spanning millions of miles gradually took shape. Blessed by the power of immeasurable calamity, it headed towards dozens of shores by the Northern Sea.


    Ji Yuenian was dragged out of the sea by the white-haired goddess, and transformed into a moon-white light which penetrated into the Luoshui Sea, and stopped at the top of a towering and magnificent palace.


    "Goddess!"


    "Godess Luoshui!"


    Countless living beings in the Luoshui Sea Realm gathered under the temple, looking up at the white-haired goddess who was surrounded by divine power, and they all knelt down and prayed devoutly.


    The Goddess Luoshui let go of Ji Yuenian''s wrist, turned a deaf ear to the prayers of the creatures under the temple, and stared in the direction of the Northern Sea in a daze.


    The earth-shattering wave rose above the Northern Sea. At a glance, the wave stretched endlessly and was tens of thousands of feet high.


    Under the violent roaring sound, the infinite energy of heaven and earth was swept away, making the color of this wave turn darker and darker. In the end, this huge wave turned as black as ink. Even though it was still extremely far away, it still had an invincible power.


    "Mountain Spirit, what is this?"


    Goddess Luoshui''s eyes were blank as she stared at the slowly approaching giant black wave in a daze.


    Ji Yuenian was silent, but he already had some guesses in his heart.


    The so-called mountain spirit should be the accompanying spirit of the Goddess Luoshui. The girl with the divine blood put him here to revisit this ancient memory as a mountain spirit.


    The torrential waves seemed to be near but were actually far away. Even though they looked as if they were right in front of them, they were still at an incomparably distant location away from the shore of the Northern Sea.


    One after another, shocking figures emerged, but none of them spoke. They all quietly stared at the approaching black giant waves, their eyes extremely dignified.


    "If such a terrible catastrophe arrives, I am afraid that half of Beijulu Continent will be wiped out here."


    Finally, a feather-crowned Daoist with immortal demeanor spoke slowly. The nine spirit swords dancing around him, each of which contained extremely terrifying power.


    A mountain god looked up at the approaching huge waves, and said indifferently, "Looking at where it originated, it should come from the noble and supreme North Sea¡¯s Dragon Palace."


    His voice was calm, but there was a hint of irony in it.


    No one answered.


    After a long silence, Goddess Luoshui took a step forward and said softly, "Brothers, hurry up and get out of here, we are not able to resist such a horrific catastrophe, retreat to the depths of Beijulu Continent as soon as possible. Maybe you can get out of here, and escape the waves."


    Ordinary creatures might be able to leave the border of the continent, but these mountain gods and sea gods couldn¡¯t leave the territory they controlled at all.


    There was another wordless silence.


    These creatures were all supreme beings who could bend the law, but they were still powerless like ants in the face of such terrifying waves.


    Some figures gradually faded away, while others remained.


    No one knew how long it took, the giant black wave that encompassed the sky finally swept in, spanning a million miles, and rushed down towards the extreme northern border of Beijulu Continent.

 Ch. 131 - The Great Heavenly King

    ¡°Mountain Spirit, are you afraid of death?¡±Goddess Luoshui stood barefoot in the air, her snow-white hair grew longer and longer, and mighty divine power surged out from her body, slowly condensing a moon-white curtain above the Luoshui Sea.


    ¡°Luoshui, I was born with you, and now I can temporarily hold the divine seal, so you can leave.¡±


    A somewhat hoarse voice came from the Mountain Spirit attached to Ji Yuenian.


    That was also the first sentence that Mountain Spirit said after Ji Yuenian entered this retrospective scene.


    Goddess Luoshui shook her head, pointed to the countless panic-stricken creatures in the Luoshui Sea, and said softly, ¡°I was born from the water of Luoshui, and these creatures are all my flesh and blood, I can¡¯t leave them behind.¡±


    The Mountain Spirit was silent for a moment, and said, ¡°The catastrophe is about to arrive, you are just a fifth-rank sea spirit, how can you save them?¡±


    Although its tone was calm, Ji Yuenian could clearly perceive the emotions hidden in the depths of the Mountain Spirit.


    ¡°Mountain Spirit,¡± Luoshui Goddess turned her head suddenly, with a little complicated look in her pale eyes. ¡°When I attained the Luoshui¡¯s title, I once traced a spiritual technique in my original memory, would you like to help me cast it?¡±


    The Mountain Spirit didn¡¯t ask anything, and just nodded silently.


    Goddess Luoshui leaned forward, and stroked her cheeks with her cold and soft fingertips. Ji Yuenian frowned slightly, but he couldn¡¯t control the Mountain Spirit at all.


    ¡°Although I am willing to stay with them in the Luoshui Sea Territory, I also have a little selfish heart. I don¡¯t want to just disappear between heaven and earth to obscurity.¡± The moon-white gauze covering the Goddess gradually faded away, revealing the flawless divine body which was like a jade. ¡°I want to use this divine spell to give birth to descendants, so at least in this desolate world, there will be a living being with my blood in his veins.¡±


    The Mountain Spirit remained silent, letting Goddess Luoshui¡¯s long frosty hair fly all over the sky, weaving a giant snow-white cocoon, gradually wrapping the two of them in it.


    The inside of the giant cocoon was extremely warm. The goddess pressed close to Ji Yuenian¡¯s chest, looked up at his quiet eyes through the endless time and space, and gently stroked her soft white jade hands.


    ¡°Letting me use the body of the Mountain Spirit to make love with the Goddess Luoshui, so that I will be bound by this time and space spiritual technique, and voluntarily sacrifice my true spirit to awaken her, is that right?¡±


    While Ji Yuenian muttered in a low voice, he gradually transformed into a virtual shape and broke free from the Mountain Spirit¡¯s body!


    Like a gust of wind, he passed through the giant cocoon.


    Ji Yuenian looked at the trembling snow-white giant cocoon, shook his head and said, ¡°This trick is extremely vicious, and there is almost no way to crack it in the Northern Continent. But, my psychic karma is an exception. Its power is enough to break through all illusions, and completely break free from the shackles imposed on me by this realm.¡±


    Just when waves, tens of thousands of feet high, were about to completely descend, the giant snow-white cocoon finally stopped trembling, and gradually shattered into countless blazing white lights, dissipating between the sky and the earth.


    The white light dissipated, and the Goddess Luoshui and the Mountain Spirit disappeared. There was only a girl with snow-white long hair hovering in the air with her eyes closed. Several mysterious auras of divine technique surged around her.


    Divine Bloodline, born with the spirit of persistent wisdom, which couldn¡¯t be theoretically understood at all.


    Ji Yuenian looked at the girl quietly, and as his thought progressed, he seemed to have vaguely grasped a flaw in this realm.


    Before he had time to think about it, the sweeping waves of calamity had already crushed all of them, destroying everything in the Luoshui Sea Territory.


    The pitch-black waves rolled over Ji Yuenian¡¯s phantom, but did not cause any harm to it.


    Ji Yuenian¡¯s gaze pierced through the violently rushing Northern Sea flood, and looked towards the place where the girl was hovering again.


    A divine technique with flickering aura distorted and appeared, wrapping a young figure straight into the sky, and fled far away beyond the Luoshui Sea.


    Luoshui was one of the countless tributaries of the North Sea, from which the Goddess Luoshui was born, and the source of her divine power was also somewhat related to the North Sea.


    Holding that divine technique, the Goddess Luoshui poured all the original divine power into it, and the Mountain Spirit sacrificed the true spirit into it, resulting in them dying, which was able to protect the girl¡¯s true spirit from death, and she barely escaped from the flood.


    After a short ten breaths, more than a dozen realms at the extreme northern border of the Northern Continent had been destroyed one after another, except for a few who had survived the three major tribulations and were in the realm of three tribulations, all other living beings had their souls dissipated and their true spirits collapsed.


    If the flood was allowed, it would be enough to destroy all the territory in the northern border of the Northern Continent.


    Bang!


    The grand and mighty bells sounded throughout the sky.


    Ji Yuenian looked up, and there was a terrifying crack in the extreme sky at an unknown height. Dozens of mighty figures with heavenly aura came down one after another, blocking the flood.


    Thirty-three Heavens, the Second Heavenly Court, Xuan Haitian.


    Xuan Haitian nominally governed the Eastern Sea, Western Sea, Northern Sea, and Southern Sea, but the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas had always listened to the tune and not the order, and there was quite a gap between Xuan Haitian and them.


    The cataclysmic flood caused the Northern Sea to be devoid of billions of living beings in just over ten breaths.


    The roaring sound, enough to shake the heavens and the earth, spread across the sky. Ji Yuenian¡¯s vision was limited by the gradually falling black sky, and he couldn¡¯t clearly see what the mysterious sea gods were doing.


    After an unknown amount of time, the monstrous flood that spanned millions of miles and was more than 30,000 feet high finally stopped spreading and stagnated at the edge of the northern border of the Northern Continent.


    Ji Yuenian frowned, thinking about how to break through this illusory realm, when there were bursts of divine voices from heaven and the earth.


    Heavenly sounds entered their ears, and in the vast and boundless Northern Continent, countless sentient beings could not help but kneel down on the ground and worshipped.


    A great god descended from the sky and landed on the top of the sea. He glanced at the Dragon Palace of the North Sea and said, ¡°Collapse.¡±


    After those words echoed.


    A black flood, which was powerful enough to destroy everything, stopped, gradually calmed down, and slowly flowed back toward the depths of the Northern Sea.


    In the Northern Sea of Luzhou, countless sentient beings knelt on the ground, bowed reverently, and silently recited the names of gods.


    The Great Heavenly King. S?a??h the Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    The Northern Continent was under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Courts of the Thirty-three Heavens, and it was dedicated to one of the six imperial emperors, the north True Martial Emperor.


    After an unknown period of time, Ji Yuenian slowly opened his eyes, and what greeted his eyes was the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers like a fairyland.


    ¡°I never thought that you would be able to break free from the shackles of the illusion, leave the divine body of the Mountain Spirit, and escape this fatal disaster.¡±


    The girl with the divine blood sat on a stone platform beside Ji Yuenian, with her bare feet as white as jade, and spoke softly.

 Ch. 132

    Ji Yuenian raised his head slightly, glanced at the slender jade feet hanging in front of him, and said softly, "You pretended to be angry and sent me into the realm of illusions, which is a bit too deliberate."The girl with the divine bloodline glanced deeply at Ji Yuannian, then leaped down from the stone platform, her bare feet landing on the moist soil. She turned her head and said, "Even if you break free from the confinement of the realm and escape the sacrificial killing disaster, if I want to crush you now, it is still as easy as turning my hand."


    "If I¡¯m right in my estimation, there will not be another person with the same fortune in tens of thousands of years," said Ji Yuenian without any fear on his face, looking down at the white-haired girl in black dress. "If I perish, the Luoshui Goddess may not have a chance to awaken again within this lifetime."


    The girl with divine bloodline had long frosty hair behind her, which wildly fluttered in the air. Her pair of cold, moon-like, pale eyes stared firmly at Ji Yuenian. The momentum around her body rose, becoming even more terrifying, and even the picturesque fairyland around them trembled slightly.


    "Not to mention ¡­"


    Ji Yuenian suddenly flipped his palm over, and a jade talisman hovered up, shining with unparallel blazing light.


    "You still can''t kill me." S?a??h th? N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Boom!


    Under the girl¡¯s gaze, a radiant pillar of emerald jade soared into the sky!


    The deafening sound of cracking echoed.


    The grand fairyland-like world collapsed inch by inch, and the heaven and the earth were covered with terrifying black cracks. A huge amount of water from the Northern Sea surged in through the cracks, and in just a few breaths, that paradise was destroyed. It turned into a vast and endless ocean, and the real aura of heaven and earth also surrounded it.


    This talisman was exactly the protection treasure bestowed by the Li family of the third Mountain Range of Taiyu Holy Sect when Ji Yuenian entered Xingyuan Peak.


    Qingluo Realm, Chuilin Daoist Temple.


    Master Shen Mu slowly opened his eyes, and the infinitely circulating spiritual Pill Fire in his palm gradually extinguished. After a moment of silence, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the Cao Ri Territory.


    "Leader."


    There were several people who were in the Last Stage of True Dao Realm standing under his seat. Seeing that Shen Mu stopp the pill fire, and the huge Xuanling pill furnace in the hall gradually fell silent, they felt a little puzzled.


    "You wait here to take care of the alchemy furnace."


    Shen Mu''s voice echoed, and they all looked up. A light encompassed Shang Jun''s body, and he disappeared from the hall in a short while.


    Shadow Divine Skill, the technique of consolidating the body thousands of miles away.


    ...


    Cao Ri Territory.


    "What is that!?"


    "The sky is falling!"


    The ancient city of Cao Ri was on the shore of the Northern Sea. The countless creatures in the western side of the city were all shocked. They looked up at the gradually splitting sky dome, and were terrified.


    Not long after, there were dozens of imposing figures rushing across, standing above the extreme sky. They stared solemnly at the increasingly large and terrifying cracks above the sky.


    "Elder Chen Yanshou, what happened?"


    A figure came across the sky, glanced at the increasing number of gaps in the sky, turned to Chen Yanshou, who was one of the elders in charge of the Chen family, and asked in a deep voice.


    Chen Yanshou was also at a loss in his heart, but he didn''t show the slightest sign on his face. He calmed down and said, "You don''t need to worry, I will rush to the ancestral hall and report the changes here to the Supreme Elder.¡±


    It was a great joy for Chen Yanyang, the Elder of the Chen family, had broken through to the Divine Sea Realm. This ceremony also invited most of the forces in the Yuanyan realm. If something unexpected happened, it would deal a heavy blow to the Chen family that was on the brink of a phenomenal rise.


    There were more and more figures coming one after another, among them were some tyrannical beings who were at True Dao Realm. At this moment, they all had fixed their eyes at the growing crack in the extreme sky and were talking a lot.


    ...


    "A mere ant, dares to resist?"


    The girl¡¯s expression had long since returned to normal. Amidst the sneer, she gently made a grasping motion with her slender white hands, and the vast waters immediately froze, and not even the slightest wave appeared.


    The next moment, the seawater flowed back and the cracks healed.


    The immeasurable water of the Northern Sea poured back, and after a few breaths, this world would return to that paradise like a fairyland.


    Ji Yuenian looked up at the god-like girl in black clothes above the extreme sky, and said softly, "The wind rises at the end of green weeds, and the giant waves forms from the small waves; even if I am an ant for a while, my Dao Heart ... can also go against the heavens."


    {TN:- The above is a Chinese idiom. It means that wind is generated from the ground, and at the beginning, it swirls gently on the green weeds, before finally becoming a strong and sturdy gale. While giant waves are born from sea, starting as small waves that builds up and eventually grown into giant waves.}


    A three-foot long sword condensed out of his hand, its body was white, and frost danced on the tip of the sword. The faint cold air was so cold that it was even enough to freeze the soul of a living being.


    Profound Snow Sword.


    This sword was forged by the fake "Qiong Yu Daozi" based on the Nightsnow Mysterious when Ji Yuenian entered the realm of illusion, but since the "Qiong Yu Daozi" was fake, then this sword ...


    "Zhao Yinyue, can you only give this sword to me in this way?" Ji Yuenian lowered his eyes, stroked the snow-white long sword covered with frost, and murmured, "How can a mere sword be able to offset the heavenly karma you left behind."


    Indistinctly, a girl in white clothes was reflected on the blade of the sword. Her appearance was still as cold as the moon, but her eyes contained endless pity and sorrow.


    Ji Yuenian pulled the sword, and the phantom of the girl disappeared. The last trace of Zhao Yinyue''s aura also disappeared between heaven and the earth, and there was nothing left.


    Before she died, she left three auras for Ji Yuenian with the help of the power of Moon Spirit Remnant Realm.


    The first aura contained all her true spirit memories, which were poured into Ji Yuenian''s true spirit. When the time was right, Ji Yuenian could directly inspect these memories.


    The second aura was when she led Ji Yuenian to sink into the past at Zhaoming Mountain in the Eastern Sea during their visit to the Star Tracing Acadent, making him vaguely aware of her life experience for the first time.


    As for the third aura ¡­ When Ji Yuenian was taken into the illusion by the descendant of the Goddess Luoshui, she became the "Qiong Yu Daozi" in the illusion, and refined a top-grade spiritual weapon for Ji Yuenian.


    This sword was fused with the power of the Moon Spirit Remnant Realm. It was of the highest rank, and its true power was even far beyond the top-grade spiritual weapon.


    Profound Snow Sword.


    "Since you don''t want to sacrifice the true spirit to revive Luoshui Goddess, then stay in this place forever."


    The girl in black clothes looked coldly at Ji Yuenian. Her long frosty hair fluttered wildly, and the mighty divine power surged out from all directions, sweeping towards Ji Yuenian.


    Wherever the divine power passed, the void shattered and everything collapsed.


    Ji Yuenian''s pale knuckles held the three-foot sword, and he looked up at the girl with the divine blood, and said softly, "Luoxue."


    Then without a sound, a blazing white sword light rushed up and traversed the sky.

 Ch. 133 - Shen Mu

    Snow fell from all over the sky, and the sword light broke straight into the surging divine power that was rushing towards him.The girl with the divine blood showed disdain, but as the pale divine power that could crush everything gradually froze, she showed surprise for the first time, and suddenly turned her gaze to the sword in Ji Yuenian¡¯s hand. ¡°This sword ...¡±


    Boom!


    Before her words fell, the world seemed to have been shaken violently.


    The seawater pouring down from the sky; those cracks also started to expand again, and the real world was gradually revealed.


    The complexion of the Goddess changed slightly, but it returned normal after a while, and she said with a sneer, ¡°I think the talisman you issued has worked, and someone has come to save you.¡±


    Ji Yuenian remained silent, but looked up at the sword light that was constantly collapsing, his eyes were calm.


    Looking at this situation, this world could last for at least another ten breaths, but the girl¡¯s pale divine power was too terrifying, and his priority was how to survive the ten breaths.


    As the sword light completely disappeared, the immeasurable divine power surging above the sky was no longer hindered, and once again crazily rolled down towards Ji Yuenian.


    Followed by a sneer, she waved her gauze sleeves lightly again, and more and more mighty divine power appeared out of thin air. Under its influence, it transformed into a thousand of feet long white dragon, and let out a roar that shook the sky. It was rushing towards Ji Yuenian with the intention to kill!


    As a descendant of the Luoshui Goddess and the accompanying Mountain Spirit, she inherited part of the original divine power of the two gods, which was unfathomable, and it was far beyond that of the weakest ninth-rank land god and the ninth-rank mountain spirit. Her divine power was even comparable to the terrifying creatures in the upper stage of Divine Sea Realm.


    Boom!


    Following the unknown and terrifying bombardment outside this world, the cracks in the sky had reached hundreds of feet!


    There were nine breaths left!


    Ji Yuenian¡¯s heart throbbed, and it was the first time he sensed death. He raised his head and glanced at the rapidly approaching thousand-foot white dragon, and sat down directly on the ground!


    After breaking into the True Dao Realm, Indestructible Body already had a secret formula for body protection, which was called ¡°Invisible Body¡±.


    The consumption of this ¡°invisible¡± divine skill was extremely terrifying. Even if Ji Yuenian forged a mysterious twelve-petal black jade lotus platform, nearly 70% of the imperial Xuan energy would be consumed to perform this divine skill.


    Roar!


    Under the roar of the white dragon, all the divine power smashed past, and the place where he originally was turned into a pitch-black nothingness.


    After a short breath, Ji Yuenian¡¯s figure re-condensed on the spot, with a phantom of a twelve-petal black jade lotus platform slowly rotating behind him.


    His complexion was extremely pale, and he sat quietly cross-legged on the platform, obviously trying his best.


    There were seven breaths left.


    ¡°As expected of the person who can awaken the fate of Luoshui Goddess, he knows so many divine skills.¡± The girl with the divine blood was also a little surprised. ¡°But ... you still have to die.¡±


    Shaking her slender hand lightly, the thousand-foot white dragon let out a violent roar, turned around and charged towards Ji Yuenian again.


    Different from before, its speed was terrifying this time around. It arrived in front of Ji Yuenian in the blink of an eye, and passed right through him!


    The lotus platform collapsed and faded away, and the spiritual treasure Ink Moon Robe could not resist such a powerful divine power, and was annihilated in nothingness.


    Ji Yuenian¡¯s eyes were still calm, but deep in his pupils, there was a hint of real emotion.


    ¡°Soul Transcending Buddhist Mantra¡±.


    ¡°Indestructible Body¡±.


    He even had the blood of TongXuan Heart Ghost, which could connect the Yin Qi of heaven and earth.


    Even with so many terrifying skills, it was still impossible to bridge the huge gap between realms.


    He was a newbie in the True Dao Realm, but the level of divine power held by this girl could be compared with the creatures in the upper realm of the divine, and the two couldn¡¯t be compared at all.


    The boundless yin energy of heaven and earth gathered, causing Ji Yuenian¡¯s figure to blur for a moment, but in the blink of an eye, he was overwhelmed again by the even more vast shallow white divine power.


    There were six breaths left.


    The thousand-foot-long white dragon slowly dissipated into the extreme sky, but Ji Yuenian¡¯s figure had also completely disappeared in place.


    ¡°This kid is really hard to kill.¡±


    Seeing that Ji Yuenian had completely vanished, the girl with the divine blood breathed a sigh of relief deep down in her heart, although her expression remained unchanged.


    She took Ji Yuenian into the Luoshui Divine Seal in order to make him voluntarily sacrifice his true spirit and awaken the remnant spirit of the Luoshui Goddess deep in the Divine Seal. A death-defying situation that couldn¡¯t be avoided at all.


    But, she never thought that Ji Yuenian could break free from the shackles of the illusion realm with the blood of Tongxuan Heart Ghost, and come out from the divine body of the Mountain Spirit, and avoid having intercourse with the Goddess Luoshui, thus narrowly avoiding this calamity.


    Since it was impossible to force Ji Yuenian to sacrifice his true spirit, the only way was to kill him.


    After six breaths, the world finally completely collapsed in the frantic tremors, revealing the real world within the Cao Ri Territory.


    A terrifying figure across the sky looked coldly at the girl with the divine blood, and said, ¡°Who is the god that dares to abduct a proud disciple of the Taiyu Holy Sect?¡±


    This mighty man was one of the heads of the Qingluo Realm, the first ancestor of the Li family in the third mountain range, the Master Shen Mu.


    Almost all the creatures within the territory of the Cao Ri Territory gathered here, looking up at the two creatures above the sky.


    ¡°Are you talking about the creature with the blood of Tongxuan Heart Ghost?¡±


    She smiled sweetly at Shen Mu, and pointed to the vast and boundless Northern Sea. ¡°I just crushed him into ashes and threw him into the Northern Sea.¡± S?a?ch* Th? ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Master Shen Mu examined the surroundings for a moment, and sure enough, he couldn¡¯t detect Ji Yuenian¡¯s aura, his gaze became a little cold, and he said softly, ¡°After tens of thousands of years, there are still creatures in the Yuanyan Realm who dare to provoke the Taiyu Holy Sect¡¯s majesty, your courage is indeed commendable.¡±


    ¡°Taiyu Holy Sect is ... really domineering,¡± the girl raised her eyebrows, her smile undiminished. ¡°I just punished a disciple of Taiyu Holy Sect, what can you do to me?¡±


    Master Shen Mu shook his head slightly, and said, ¡°It¡¯s really strange that a mere wild god possesses such a large amount of divine power. Cultivating to your level is not easy, if you are willing to be a prisoner and slave from now on, and become an alchemy tool for Divine Power Condensation Pills refined in the Qingluo realm, I may consider forgiving your sins and leaving you with a true soul.¡±


    ¡°Hurry up and put away your hypocritical facade,¡± the girl in black clothes spat, showing disdain. ¡°I have already said that even if you are now at the pinnacle of the Divine Sea Realm, you can¡¯t do anything to me!¡±


    After saying this, a quaint Luoshui Divine Seal phantom appeared around her body, covering her figure, and turning into a brilliant rainbow light, it penetrated towards the Northern Sea.


    ¡°Presumptuous!¡±

 Ch. 134 - Royalty, Spirit of Mysterious Beast

    Master Shen Mu''s eyes sank while looking at the rapidly fleeing Divine Light from a distance. He flipped his palms lightly, and the world within a radius of ten thousand miles trembled slightly.Boom!


    The wind hissed and roared violently, and the Xuan Qi of countless beasts condensed out in the sky. Each beast of exuded a terrifying aura of True Dao Realm, and their indifferent eyes were even more terrifying. They were wrapped with freezing and unparalleled killing intent.


    As Shen Mu¡¯s hands rose, those beasts made of Xuan Qi roared in unison, and ripples of space appeared around their bodies. They moved towards the rainbow light of the Luoshui Divine Seal at an incredible speed.


    "This guy is hard to deal with!"


    The girl clad in black clothes was hidden within the Luoshui Divine Seal, and she could clearly sense the rapidly approaching aura of the mysterious beasts, and her brows were tightly furrowed.


    After another three breaths, she would be able to submerge directly into the boundless Northern Sea by virtue of the connection between the Luoshui Divine Seal and the waters beside the Northern Sea. Shen Mu would no longer be able to sense her aura.


    But just after a short breath, there were bursts of distorted spatial ripples around that brilliant divine light, and dozens of beasts appeared one after another. The numb and indifferent eyes of the beasts all turned towards the rainbow light, looking within the Luoshui Divine Seal!


    Although she said it very easily, the girl didn''t dare to underestimate Shen Mu at all in her heart. Every creature in the Divine Sea Realm was extraordinary. Not to mention that Master Shen Mu was one of the masters of the Qingluo Realm of the Taiyu Holy Sect, and his cultivation was even more terrifying.


    Even if she was of the noble Luoshui Goddess bloodline, she could only use the Luoshui Divine Seal to escape, and dare not really face Shen Mu.


    Roar!


    Those beasts at the True Dao Realm directly rushed into the rainbow light without any hesitation, and blew themselves up as soon as they approached the Luoshui Divine Seal!


    Boom!


    So many souls in the Late Stage of the True Dao Realm self-destructed, triggering the celestial phenomena, and within a radius of nine thousand miles, the wind and clouds rolled back, and the sky was full of dark clouds. After a short while, there was an extremely heavy rain pouring down on the creatures. S?a??h the ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    "Pseudo Spirit."


    Until this moment, Master Shen Mu looked coldly at the blocked bright rainbow light, and then whispered the name of Divine skill.


    That divine skill was extremely terrifying. It could be exerted by the power of heaven and earth. In a short period of time, hundreds of false beast spirits at the True Dao Realm could be forcibly condensed. This kind of beast spirit had no ability to attack and kill, but they could self-destruct!


    Although these false beast spirits were not the real True Dao Realm powerhouses, under the blessing of the power of heaven and earth, the force carried in their self-detonation power was almost at par with True Dao Realm experts.


    Boom!


    All the false beast spirits exploded beside the rainbow light, and under the splashing rain, a simple and noble divine seal slowly flowed out of the rainbow light, and the figure of the girl in black clothes was also there.


    At this time, her expression was no longer as relaxed as before, but a little constrained. A curtain of azure water circulated around her, blocking all the bursting power of the beast spirits.


    As the space ripples slowly disappeared without a trace, the violent power that shook heaven and earth gradually faded away, and only the girl in black clothes and the quaint Luoshui Divine seal remained under the azure blue light.


    "Luo Xu, a direct descendant of the Goddess of Luoshui, has seen Shen Mu."


    She raised her head and looked at the terrifying figure hundreds of meters away. After a few breaths of silence, she suddenly smiled and saluted very respectfully.


    Her attitude changed so quickly that even the millions of creatures in the ancient city of Cui Ri were a little dumbfounded.


    Shen Mu looked down at the girl who was standing barefoot on the Luoshui Divine Seal, and said, "This is the Cui Ri Territory. According to ancient records, it used to belong to the Luoshui Sea Territory that has long been annihilated. The so-called Luoshui Goddess ... Could it be the God of Heaven and Earth within the Luoshui Sea Territory?"


    Luo Xu nodded and said, "The Goddess Luoshui is a natural god. She was born from Luoshui, one of the countless branches of Beihai. As soon as she was born, she was ordered to be the god of Luoshui, and she was made in charge of the Luoshui realm, that borders the Northern Continent in the northwest corner."


    The reason why she stopped fleeing towards the Northern Sea was because she had sensed the true cultivation level of Master Shen Mu.


    The cultivation base of that person actually surpassed Peak Divine Sea realm embodied spirit realm, and was only one step away from Divine Sea Spirit Realm of Merit.


    Half-step Divine Palace Realm.


    Facing such a terrifying power, even with the miraculous Luoshui seal, it was impossible to escape into the Northern Sea within three breaths.


    Although Luoshui Goddess was once a fifth-rank natural god, her position had long been annihilated and collapsed, and most of the origin divine power hidden in this divine seal had already disappeared. Even if all these divine powers were used by Luo Xu, it was still impossible to compete with the power of the half-step Divine Palace Realm.


    "You have committed three sins. If you are willing to confess to these three sins, I will leave you with a true spirit."


    Master Shen Mu looked down at the barefoot girl with snow-white hair, and said with a flick of his sleeve.


    "First, you killed Ji Yuenian, a heavenly talented disciple of the Taiyu Holy Sect.


    "Secondly, you hid in the territory under the rule of Taiyu Holy Sect as a wild god, and never showed up on your own initiative. You even secretly stirred up the divine seal and the god''s position in the Cui Ri territory, so that several evil gods were born in the territory, hindering the Holy Clan¡¯s control.


    "Third, the crime of disrespect."


    The third crime referred to the crime of disrespect when Luo Xu thought she could escape to the Northern Sea and made insulting remarks to Master Shen Mu.


    Luo Xu stood quietly on the spot, and when Shen Mu finished speaking, she was silent for a few breaths, raised her head and said, "Master, Luo Xu is willing to plead guilty."


    Master Shen Mu nodded slightly, and said, "Break the divine blood connection between Luoshui Divine Seal and you, and hand it over to me together with your origin divine power.


    "If I obey the order and hand over the Luoshui Divine Seal to Master, what will Master do to me?" Luo Xu said softly.


    Shen Mu seemed a little surprised, and said, "Naturally, I will absorb all your divine power, wipe out your soul, and send you to reincarnation."


    "What if I don''t obey?"


    Luo Xu lowered her head slightly, looking down at the millions of creatures in the ancient city of Cui Ri.


    "Then, through the connection between the divine seals, I will forcibly destroy your true spirit, and make you disappear completely between the heaven and earth," said Shen Mu, who was a little impatient. "Taiyu Holy Sect has always been kind and generous to the creatures under its rule. If you plead guilty, I can still keep your true spirit alive and give you a chance to reincarnate. If you continue to talk nonsense, then ..."


    "Then?" Luo Xu raised her head suddenly, her pale pupils turned blood red, and there was a strange and fierce twisted divine power roaring around her, and a terrifying aura erupted.


    The girl''s snow-white long hair was stained with a trace of blood, dancing and fluttering behind her head.


    "Taiyu Holy Sect ... is extremely hypocritical!" Luo Xu''s eyes showed the same disdain as before, and there were blazing red blood streaks circulating in the Luoshui seal under her feet. "The Goddess Luoshui was the natural god of the sea realm. She was extremely noble, and I am her only blood descendant, so are you, a lowly creature, worthy of killing me?"


    Master Shen Mu''s complexion was slightly gloomy, his eyes were coldly looking down at Luo Xu whose appearance had changed drastically. The surrounding space was slightly distorted, and she was obviously a little angry.


    It turned out that this woman never thought of giving up, but was always lying in wait and biding time!

 Ch. 135 - Nine Sword Qi Extinguishes, Thousands of Moutains Snow

    In the ancient city of Cui Ri, countless creatures looked up at Shen Mu, their eyes revealing shock and astonishment.At that time, Shen Mu''s figure had completely turned into a real body, and while his sleeves were dancing, nine azure rainbows that could tear the heaven rushed out, and each azure rainbow had a fierce sword intent. Even the ancient city of Cui Ri, which was hundreds of feet away, had many majestic and towering buildings swept by the sword light, and were annihilated into ruins without a sound.


    "Such a shocking change happened in the ancient city of Cui Ri, why hasn''t the Elder of the Chen family appeared yet?"


    Suddenly, a creature in the Late Stage of True Dao Realm, who came to watch the ceremony noticed something unusual, and looked suspiciously at Chen Yanshou, the head of the Chen family, and the others.


    "There are such ambitious gods lurking in the ancient city of Cui Ri, and there are even several evil gods running rampant. The Chen family has never cared about it!"


    "Where is Elder Chen Yanyang!?"


    People from various forces seemed to have awakened, and they all looked at the members of the Chen family.


    Chen Yanshou was also a little panicked, and looked at the elders of the Chen family. Without saying a word, he hurried towards the ancestral hall where Chen Yanyang was.


    Chen Yanyang was the Elder of the Chen family, and he broke into the Divine Sea Realm not long ago. It was impossible for him to be unaware of such drastic changes in the ancient city of Cui Ri.


    "Since Elder Taishang has cultivated to the Divine Sea Realm, his temperament has changed drastically, and he had become extremely ferocious. He would kill members of the Chen family indiscriminately at every turn. Let¡¯s go to the ancestral hall to meet his old man."


    A member of the Chen Family at the True Dao Realm sighed, and told the truth to everyone.


    "Brother Qiong Yu, is there any news from Brother Ji?"


    Wang Yueyang and Yu Yan looked at Qiongyu Daozi who had landed in front of the hall, and hurried forward, with expressions of concern and anxiety.


    Qiong Yu Daozi stabilized his figure, looked up at Shen Mu, and then turned his head to look at Wang Yueyang. He shook his head slightly, and said, ¡°There¡¯s no news."


    Yu Yan thought for a moment, and said, "Senior Brother Ji has broken into the True Dao Realm. With his terrifying background, there shouldn''t be too much danger in this city."


    Wang Yueyang seemed to have thought of something, looked up at Luo Xu who was hundreds of feet away with long blood-red hair, shook his head and said, "Senior Sister Yu''s words are wrong."


    Yu Yan was smart, following Wang Yueyang''s gaze, she immediately understood what was in his heart, and her face changed slightly. "Wang Yueyang, what do you mean... Brother Ji''s disappearance is related to this god? "


    Wang Yueyang nodded imperceptibly, and said, "After Shen Mu descended, his words gave clues. Although weak creatures like us can''t hear his real words clearly, my intuition within my innate divine skill tells me that Senior Brother Ji¡¯s disappearance may have something to do with this spirit girl."


    At this moment, a deafening roar came from the heaven and the earth! S?a??h th? N?velF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Boom!


    The clouds gave way to the sun, and the rain stopped.


    Shen Mu had a cold expression. He was surrounded by terrifying Xuan Qi that stretched for hundreds of miles behind him. Even the heavy rain stopped, and the dark clouds also dissipated.


    He flicked his sleeves slightly, and his indifferent voice was heard very clearly throughout the entire Cui Ri territory.


    "As a blood descendant of the gods in Yuanyan''s realm, but disrespecting the Holy Sect, refusing to obey the jurisdiction, and even daring to kill the Candidate Holy Son of the Holy Sect, I will kill your true spirit today, and use it as an example to others!"


    Luo Xu''s frosty long hair had turned into a blood-red color. Her hands danced lightly, and the fiery red Luoshui seal gradually shrunk and slowly fell into her palm.


    Holding the Luoshui Divine Seal, she smiled and said, "I have just said that I am the blood of the noble Luoshui Goddess, and you alone can''t kill me!"


    After saying this, Luo Xu''s long blood-red hair danced wildly, and there was an explosion of extremely bright blood-red light around her, which turned into scarlet black snakes that howled violently, and soared into the sky!


    "Senior Brother Qiong Yu! What Master Shen Mu just said ..."


    This time, Shen Mu¡¯s voice spread throughout the entire Cui Ri Territory. Yu Yan''s face was pale, and she looked sideways at Qiong Yu Daozi with an uncertain expression.


    Wang Yueyang also had a sudden change of expression, and he said in surprise, ¡°Could it be that Senior Brother Ji has already been killed by this divine girl!?"


    Qiongyu Daozi settled down, hesitated for a moment, and said, "According to what Shen Mu said, Junior Brother Ji Yuenian has indeed ..."


    Yu Yan was already a little distracted, and murmured, "Senior Brother Ji disappeared without a trace so strangely¡­ He must have been captured by this wild god. With Senior Brother Ji''s cultivation, there are only a few of them who can defeat him in this ancient city. Only the evil god and this girl can take action against him."


    "No," Qiongyu Daozi seemed to have thought of something, and looked towards the end of the continuous palace behind him, which was in the direction of the Chen Clan Ancestral Temple. "It is really strange and inexplicable that Chen Yanyang, the elder of the Chen family, has not shown up yet."


    At the same time, Master Shen Mu looked down at the scarlet blood snakes that were attacking towards him, and made a grasping motion with his palms. The vortex of Xuan Qi that spread hundreds of miles behind him gradually surged, covering all the red light.


    "Nine Sword Qi Extermination."


    The heaven and the earth within a radius of ten thousand miles darkened.


    Only the tall and terrifying figure could be seen.


    The nine azure rainbows were extremely dazzling in the darkness, swirling with majestic Xuan Qi, and rushed towards the equally eye-catching bloody figure in the darkness.


    Within each azure rainbow, there was a terrifying sword intent that was extremely ferocious.


    Nine Sword Qi Extermination was even enough to suppress and kill creatures in the Divine Sea Embodied Spirits Realm!


    Boom!


    The only thing left between the heaven and the earth was the deafening sound of detonation.


    In the Yuanyan Realm, countless creatures were looking towards the territory of destroying the sun.


    Even within the Baiye Realm and Xuanming Realm beside the Yuanyan Realm, many great powers had sensed it, and looked solemnly at the Cui Ri Territory around the edge of the Yuanyan Realm.


    Taiyu Holy Sect, Tai Yujing.


    Daoist Taiye stood quietly under the Snow Palace, staring at the snowy mountains in the Taiyu Realm, and sighed. "Luoshui Sea Realm, such an ancient and distant name. I am afraid that no one in the entire Yuanyan Realm knows about it. Time flies, it¡¯s really embarrassing.¡±


    The sound of steps drifted to his ears.


    Daoist Taiye didn''t turn his head, but sat on the ground directly, and said with a light smile, "Master Yutai, why do you have the time to come to this humble abode?"


    The master of the Yutai Realm also sat down beside Daoist Taiye, looked at the snowy mountains in the Taiyu Realm together with him, shook his head and said, "If the Snow Palace of Daoist Master Zongzong is a humble abode, then in this Yuanyan, I''m afraid there won''t be even a speck a blessed place.¡±


    This person was Yu Jingtian.

    After a moment of silence, Yu Jingtian said softly.


    Daoist Taiye condensed the snow in his palm into a ball of white light, put it beside Yu Jingtian''s clothes, and said with a smile, "It is true that he came here, and took a lot of Taiyu Spiritual Snow."


    Yu Jingtian picked up the ball of white light and fell silent again.


    There used to be a lot of gap between him and Daoist Taiye, but tens of thousands of years had passed, and those old men died. Yu Jingtian and Taiye Daoist were the only ones in the Taiyu Holy Sect, who were at the realm of the two gods; so there was less barrier between each other at this time.


    Under the Snow Palace, bright purple stars appeared in the distance.


    It turned out to be a white-haired man in a robe with star-patterned purple robe, and with a glance he saw the two men sitting at the edge of the snow cliff. ¡°Greetings to the Lord of the Taiyu Realm and, and the Lord of the Jade Terrace Realm.¡±


    Yu Jingtian gave him a side glance, but didn''t speak.


    Daoist Taiye turned around and said, "What''s the matter?"


    The star-robed man took a look at Yu Jingtian, hesitated for a moment, and then respectfully said, "The head of Qingluo Realm, Shen Mu, has come here to have an audience."


    Besides the snow cliff, there was heavy snow all year round.


    Daoist Taiye swayed his robe sleeves lightly, stood up, and sighed. "After all, the Luoshui Sea Territory is just the ancient past. It is also not wrong for it to be truly annihilated into nothingness at this time."


    After a pause, Yuan Jun, who was in the realm of the gods and spirits, spoke again: "Summon."


    The star-robed man lowered his head slightly, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty Taiye."


    ...


    There was the sound of surging sea water in all directions


    The huge white dragon that roared furiously traversed heaven and the earth, and it had vast divine power.


    The image in his memory gradually became incomplete, and gradually collapsed into a distant and blurry memory.


    "Ji Yuenian ..."


    The whispering sound that seemed far away echoed into the depths of his mind.


    "Ji Yuenian..."


    All the sounds were faintly fading away. There was an endless darkness surrounding him which could make people feel hopeless.


    The fragments of the image were gradually reorganized in the darkness, and the scene changed.


    On the bank of the Eastern Sea.


    In the Zhaoming Mountains.


    The Sea Curtain hung upside down, and the seven-coloured light shone, dissipating the darkness.


    The vast and endless magnificent sea curtain on the bank of the Eastern Sea was the same as in the past, and the majestic power of creation of heaven and earth was truly displayed, which appeared shocking and inexplicable.


    "Among the dozens of large and small mountain and sea borders beside the Eastern Sea, except for the Huaguo Mountain, only the Zhaoming Mountain can reveal such a beautiful scenery."


    Some familiar voices drifted beside his ears, but the person who spoke was no longer the old man in his memory.


    Li''er looked up at the woman in the ice-blue palace dress, and said crisply, "Mother, this scene is indeed incomparably beautiful, but why do you say that Huaguo Mountain is an exception?"


    The woman stroked Li''er''s jet-black hair, and said with a smile, "It was told to me by your father once, and I asked him just like you in the beginning."


    This girl in the ice blue palace dress seemed like a banished fairy from heaven, with picturesque features, and the bloodline power surging around her body was even more noble and pure. Obviously, she was not an ordinary person.


    Li''er nodded silently, raised her face again after a few breaths, and said, "Father ... where did he go?"


    The slender hand of the woman resting on Li''er''s shoulders tightened slightly, and only after a while did it return to normal. She lowered her head, smiled, and said, "Li''er, you are now three thousand years old, Gui Jiuyuan of the Zhaoming Mountain will personally see your fate, and I will take you there."


    Li''er didn''t ask again, but nodded obediently, and let the woman in the palace dress hold her little hand. She lightly moved her lotus steps and stepped on the clouds, flying towards the nine sacred mountains in the Zhaoming Mountains.


    Mount Zhaoming was close to the Eastern Sea. It was uniquely blessed with incomparable spiritual energy, which made it a place ordinary creatures couldn¡¯t dream of.


    There were nine sacred mountains at the core of the mountain range, and the Gui Jiuyuan mentioned by the woman in palace clothes was the owner of the second sacred mountain in the Zhaoming Mountain Range.


    The picture shattered into fragments again, and when these incomplete scenes were reassembled again, a vast and majestic huge palace appeared before his eyes.


    There were many thrones in the palace, and there were dozens of creatures of different forms sitting on them. Although their forms were different, each creature exuded a terrifying aura, either noble, fierce, or pure. Each one was extremely majestic and inviolable.


    "Li''er, why are you staring blankly in front of the elders?"


    The woman in the palace attire had a dark gaze, and she appeared displeased while glaring at the pretty girl standing quietly by His Highness.


    Everyone laughed, shook their heads and said, "In front of Princess Li''er, how dare we call ourselves elders?"


    "The goddess is too serious."


    "Princess Li''er is still young, so the goddess doesn''t have to be too harsh on her."


    The woman in the ice-blue palace attire calmed down a little, and said to the many creatures in the palace. "You all left your hometown with him and came to settle in Zhaoming Mountain near the Eastern Sea. I have always owed a lot for this."


    Among those creatures, a man in a green robe stood up, waved his hands and said with a smile, "Goddess''s words are really a little strange, I have been attached to Your Highness for many years, and His Highness treats us more like a sibling. Even though His Highness has left the Dragon Palace now, but ..."


    Before he finished his words, the man in the green robe sensed something was wrong, and immediately stopped talking.


    The magnificent hall also fell into silence when all the creatures heard the two words that were considered taboo in Zhaoming Mountain.


    The vast and supreme noble existence, Dragon Palace.


    The Four Seas Dragon Palace was no different from the legend. In the eyes of countless beings like the gravel of the Ganges River, the Four Seas Dragon Palace was the same as the unreachable Heavenly Court of the Thirty-three Heavens, and they all belonged to the ancient records.


    The expression of the woman in the palace attire changed slightly. She moved her lips, and was just about to speak when a crisp and sweet child''s voice came to her ears.


    "Jiuyuan Mountain Lord, I am now three thousand years old, my mother said that you are going to test my fate, is it true?"


    Li''er walked up to a someone, and raised her fair and delicate face slightly.


    The creature stroked Li''er''s hair, looked sideways at the woman in palace attire, and said, "Goddess ..."


    The woman in palace attire nodded slightly.


    "Princess Li''er is His Highness''s only bloodline. I am a little apprehensive about this test." The creature stood up with a hesitant expression on his face.


    "Gui Jiuyuan, now it''s not the same as before. You are also the owner of the second sacred mountain in Zhaoming Mountain, and you have the divine ability capable of testing the fates of living beings. Why are you so coy?" Some teasing voices came from another throne.


    Gui Jiuyuan was the bloodline descendant of the ancient great demon Sea Swallowing Spirit Turtle. From ants to ordinary creatures, anyone could use it, from the loveliest ants to those in the Three Calamities and Five Tribulations, as long as thier bone age was between 3,000 and 10,000 years old. Thie method could be used to determine one¡¯s fate using innate divine ability.

 Ch. 137 - Yin-Yang Crossing Realm

    ¡°Princess Li¡¯er has a noble status, so it¡¯s not unusual for Gui Jiuyuan to be a little hesitant.¡±As many creatures spoke one after another, the atmosphere in the hall gradually returned to its original state, and no one mentioned the two words that were regarded as taboos.


    Gui Jiuyuan settled down, closed his eyes slightly, and a green light slowly emerged around his body.


    There were many quaint tortoise shell phantoms swirling above this green divine light, which enveloped Li¡¯er¡¯s whole body, and finally submerged completely between her eyebrows.


    A stick of incense passed.


    An incomparably complicated blue divine light gushed out from between Li¡¯er¡¯s eyebrows, and Gui Jiuyuan directly caught it in his hand.


    The woman in palace attire suppressed her thoughts, and said, ¡°Gui Jiuyuan Mountain Lord, how is it?¡±


    Another creature also asked anxiously, ¡°Can Princess Li¡¯er cultivate to the Da Luo Realm?¡±


    Many creatures showed concern on their faces and looked towards Gui Jiuyuan one after another.


    The Highness was no longer in the Zhaoming Mountain Realm, and the goddess had a status problem. Princess Li¡¯er was the future master of the Zhaoming Mountain Realm, so her cultivation was naturally the most important thing.


    Gui Jiuyuan¡¯s complexion changed several times, obviously confirming something, and finally it completely dimmed. The green light in his hand extinguished, and he couldn¡¯t say a complete sentence.


    The woman in palace attire sensed Gui Jiuyuan¡¯s abnormality, and said in a deep voice, ¡°Lord Gui Jiuyuan, what happened to Li¡¯er?¡±


    Gui Jiuyuan raised his head, his eyes were a little bitter, and he said, ¡°Goddess, the fate of Princess Li¡¯er is really ...¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, tell me.¡±


    Gui Jiuyuan glanced at the many creatures who were now in charge of Zhaoming Mountain, and said slowly, ¡°I have seen two fates in the true spirit of Princess Li¡¯er.¡±


    A creature looked puzzled, and said doubtfully, ¡°How is this possible!¡±


    ¡°How can a creature have two fates?¡±


    ¡°Gui Jiuyuan, could it be that your divine ability malfunctioned?¡±


    Gui Jiuyuan shook his head, and said, ¡°My divine ability originates from the depths of my blood, and I will never make mistakes when I connect with the stars of heaven and earth. The strange thing is that if I test the fates of other creatures, I will not be able to detect their real life spans at all. However, this time, the fate test of Princess Li¡¯er shows her lifespan and cultivation level very clearly.¡±


    The woman in palace attire looked down at Li¡¯er who was standing still, and said calmly, ¡°Then what are these two fates?¡±


    All the living beings were focused on Gui Jiuyuan, and there was hard silence in the hall.


    ¡°The first destiny reveals that Princess Li¡¯er¡¯s lifespan will be 91,000 years, of which 84,000 years will be spent alone in solitude, and her cultivation ... will stop at the Yin-Yang Crossing Realm.¡±


    After saying this, many creatures in the palace fell into chaos.


    ¡°How is that possible! With the noble blood of Princess Li¡¯er, she was born at the Divine Sea Realm, so how could she cultivate only up to the Yin-Yang Crossing Realm after thousands of years!¡±


    ¡°Wait, you just said ... Princess Li¡¯er¡¯s lifespan is only 91,000 years?¡±


    ¡°Nonsense!¡±


    Li¡¯er would be the master of Zhaoming Mountain in the future. At this time, Gui Jiuyuan¡¯s fate test had got such a result, and these creatures couldn¡¯t accept it for a while.


    Gui Jiuyuan looked at the people with different expressions, sighed, and said, ¡°The second fate is revealed. Princess Lier¡¯s lifespan would only be sixteen years. She would never cultivate at all, and she will be an ordinary person until she dies.¡±


    The creatures gradually stopped talking, and the hall fell into a terrifying silence.


    The woman in palace attire walked in front of Gui Jiuyuan. The noble and cold aura even made the big demon dare not look directly at her. She looked around the palace, opened her mouth slightly, and said, ¡°You also know the identity of Ao Li. How could the fate of half true dragon descendant be so unbearable?¡±


    Gui Jiuyuan hesitated for a moment, but still didn¡¯t dare to look up at the goddess¡¯s exquisite and flawless face. He said slowly, ¡°It manifested this way in fate, and Princess Li¡¯er was finally stripped of all bloodline power, that¡¯s why ...¡±


    The test with his divine ability would not have been so clear, but this time, for some reason, it showed Li¡¯er¡¯s future lifespan and cultivation level very clearly, which even made Gui Jiuyuan feel a little weird.


    ¡°It¡¯s impossible,¡± the woman in the palace attire shook her head. ¡°The blood is inborn, and ordinary methods can¡¯t strip it off, and those supreme powers that can even strip the blood ... It¡¯s impossible for them to care about Li¡¯er¡¯s blood.¡±


    A creature thought for a while, and said slowly, ¡°Could it be Princess Li¡¯er herself who will give up the bloodline power?¡±


    Li¡¯er, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly raised her head, looked up at the woman in palace attire, and said, ¡°Mother, Li¡¯er is tired.¡±


    The scene stopped again, turning into countless fragments and collapsing in the darkness.


    The endless abyss of darkness swept over again, completely submerging Ji Yuenian¡¯s remaining vague consciousness.


    ...


    Bright golden sunlight shone through the window lattice and onto the wooden table.


    Countless fine dust fragments swirled under the golden light beam, and as the soft fingertips faintly touched his lips, the scene in front of him gradually became clearer.


    ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡±


    A soft voice came to his ears. Ji Yuenian barely raised his heavy eyelids, and what he saw was a girl in white clothes about thirteen or fourteen years old. s?a??h th? N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    She was holding a steaming wooden bowl, a little blush encompassed her fair little face, but she didn¡¯t dodge his eyes, and looked at him steadily.

 Ch. 138 - Ao Li

    ¡°I ¡­¡±Ji Yuenian¡¯s slender and pale knuckles moved, and he raised his head with great effort, but a sharp pain suddenly came from between his brows, causing his head to fall back onto the cork pillow.


    ¡°Be careful!¡±


    An anxious look appeared in the eyes of the white-clothed girl, and she hastily put the wooden bowl in her hand on the table. She brushed over Ji Yuenian¡¯s long black hair with her soft and warm white jade hands, and carefully wiped his forehead.


    Then, she took off the silk cloth in front of him and dipped it into the water basin beside the bed.


    Ji Yuenian pursed his lips lightly. Staring blankly at the brilliant golden sunlight pouring in through the window, it vaguely reflected in his eyes, and they rippled with magnificent waves as memories came back to him. s?a??h th? N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    According to Li Shixuan¡¯s order, he left Xingyuan Peak¡¯s Wangxing Court.


    Together with Wang Yueyang, Yu Yan, and others, they went to the ancient city of Cui Ri to observe the ceremony.


    Qiongyu Daozi.


    Being taken into the Luoshui Divine seal by the girl with the Divine Bloodline, and then being bound in the false memory of the Luoshui goddess.


    He remembered it all.


    Activating the talisman treasure, and with the Luoxue Sword refined by Zhao Yinyue using the power of the Moon Spirit Remnant Realm, he defended himself for six breaths against the girl of the Goddess¡¯s bloodline with cultivation at the upper realm of the Divine Spirit bloodline.


    The last memory was that of the roar of the huge white dragon which obscured the blue dome of heavens, causing everything to be annihilated into the darkness of nothingness.


    Scenes after leaving Taiyu Holy Sect quickly flashed through his mind. Ji Yuenian slightly closed his eyes, and opened them again after a while. The golden light in his eyes gradually faded away, and he regained his deep and abyssal eyes with former silence and calm.


    He had already recalled a few memories in the emptiness and darkness. It was not until this time that Ji Yuenian finally knew the real connection between Zhao Yinyue and Zhaoming Mountain Realm.


    Zhao Yinyue had only lived for sixteen years. Before that, she was not Zhao Yinyue, but Princess Li¡¯er who lived in Zhaoming Mountain.


    In the second memory, when the goddess in the blue palace dress was talking to Gui Jiuyuan, she once mentioned Princess Li¡¯er¡¯s real name.


    Ao Li.


    Within the world of Luoshui Divine Seal, Luo Xu¡¯s condensed the white dragon which had completely crushed Ji Yuenian¡¯s body, and there was no trace left.


    He was now able to retain his true spirit and soul, all due to the True Spirit Bloodline infused by Ao Li before she died.


    Ao Li was a bloodline descendant of the true dragon, and her lifespan was infinite. However, even though the Moon Spirit Remnant Realm protected her during the upheaval at the beginning, it also trapped her for 84,000 years. There were many restrictions and laws shackling her.


    Perhaps it was due to fate that she had endured the lonely and bleak eighty-four thousand years in the Moon Spirit Remnant Realm alone, but she did not survive those short sixteen years after all.


    The jade was flawed and fell by itself. This was due to the terrifying power deep in the blood, and it was not something Ao Li could resist.


    Breaking through five realms in a row, and after going straight through three tribulations, she returned to the Zhaoming mountain realm on the bank of the Eastern Sea. The goddess in the palace attire who appeared like a banished fairy devoted all her efforts to paving the way for Ao Li , and finally turned into a bubble that could be broken at the touch.


    After recovering a little bit of strength, Ji Yuenian turned his head slightly to see that the girl was rubbing and washing the piece of silk cloth in the tub. Her head lowered slightly, and her expression was very serious.


    After a while, she seemed to notice Ji Yuenian¡¯s gaze, turned her jade-like face sideways, took the warm silk cloth and covered Ji Yuenian¡¯s forehead again.


    She said with a smile, ¡°The injury on your forehead is serious, don¡¯t move.¡±


    After saying this, Ji Yuenian felt a heart-piercing pain from between his brows again. His thoughts moved slightly, and he said softly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with my forehead ...?¡±


    His voice was very weak and hoarse, and even Ji Yuenian himself was a little dazed after he spoke.


    At the same time, Ji Yuenian seemed to suddenly think of something, and tried to mobilize his Xuan Qi, but he didn¡¯t get any feedback.


    Ignoring the increasingly severe pain between the eyebrows, Ji Yuenian sat up halfway along with the support of the girl, leaned on the sill of the wooden couch, trying to sense his spirit and heart fire again.


    He pried his sea of consciousness.


    Whether it was the true spirit, psychic karma fire, they all disappeared without a trace, as if they never existed.


    Snap!


    Ji Yuenian took off the silk cloth from his forehead and threw it into the water basin. His hoarse voice was calm yet terrifying. ¡°Girl, do you have a bronze mirror?¡±


    The thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl in white clothes was obviously at a loss. After being stunned for a moment, she hurriedly took out a small bronze mirror from the dressing box in the wooden house, and handed it to Ji Yuenian.


    This bronze mirror was only the size of a palm, and the edges had been rubbed extremely smooth. There was a faint fragrance on it, which obviously signified that it was used by the girl¡¯s family.


    Ji Yuenian was half-lying on the wooden couch. The sharp pain between his eyebrows did not ease at all, but became more intense.


    His brows and eyes were picturesque, lips were red and teeth were white; his appearance had not changed, and he was still the extremely handsome young man.


    But, between his eyebrows, there was a shocking and terrifying wound.


    If ordinary people looked at it, they would believe it to be a blazing red bloodstain that could never heal, but in Ji Yuenian¡¯s eyes, the wound was clearly the brand mark of a twelve-petal lotus platform!


    Every petal of the lotus platform seemed to be carved into the depths of his flesh and blood, and under the reflection of Ji Yuenian¡¯s pupils, it exuded a faint black brilliance.


    The entire lotus platform was about half an inch square, and it was branded in the middle of his eyebrows. The petals were distinct, small and exquisite, but there was a hint of death on it.


    ¡°Cover it quickly, it will be bad if you catch a cold.¡± The girl in white clothes picked up the piece of silk cloth in the water basin, and gently covered Ji Yuenian¡¯s forehead. ¡°I don¡¯t know how the wound came about, and it hasn¡¯t healed after more than ten days, it¡¯s really strange.¡±


    Ji Yuenian lay down on the wooden couch again without saying a word, closed his eyes slightly, and kept sensing the spirit, true spirit, and psychic karma that disappeared without a trace.


    More than ten days ago, the girl found Ji Yuenian unconscious outside the wooden house when she came back from the mountain after gathering herbs. She was kind-hearted since she was a child, and she had never seen such a good-looking boy as Ji Yuenian. So, she settled him in the wooden house and took good care of him till now.


    The eleventh hour.


    The shining silver moon gradually appeared, and the bright galaxy above the extreme sky stretched across the ages. Although time passed by and vicissitudes changed, it never changed.


    Ji Yuenian woke up in a trance, and didn¡¯t notice until after he got off the wooden couch that the cloth he was wearing now was still a black robe with intricate patterns. It was still cold, smooth, and spotless.


    In just a moment, Ji Yuenian could conclude that this clothing was by no means his spiritual weapon, but the yin qi of heaven and earth in his blood!


    This was enough to prove that even though he still couldn¡¯t sense the slightest bit of Xuan Qi at that time, the bloodline power had never really disappeared, and it was still quietly hidden in an unknown place.


    Bright silver moonlight pierced in, shining on the delicate sleeping face of the girl in white clothes.


    She slept on a cloth mattress, on a cold and hard wooden bench with her clothes on.


    As if sensing the noise, she opened her eyes slightly, and saw Ji Yuenian¡¯s slender figure with his back facing to her.


    The girl in white clothes rubbed her eyes, followed Ji Yuenian¡¯s downcast gaze, hesitated for a moment, and said softly, ¡°That¡¯s the thing by your side.¡±


    The thing that was placed by the door was a sword.


    The blazing white sword that was once like snow had long been covered with a layer of black dirt, and the bright sword light that could tear mountains and rocks had also disappeared, replaced by a dark gray sword hilt covered with dust.


    The sword that Ao Li forged for Ji Yuenian in the illusion realm of Goddess Luoshui with the remnant power of the Moon Spirit Remnant Realm.


    Profound Snow Sword.


    This Sword had lost its former splendor at this time. At first glance, it looked like a rusty iron rod.

 Ch. 139

    Ji Yuenian lowered his body and gently grasped the dusty hilt of the long sword.Yao got up on the wooden bench, stared at the slender back of the boy, and said in a low voice, ¡°That thing is very heavy, you have to be careful.¡±


    Under the wooden door, a breeze suddenly picked up.


    Pale knuckles tightly gripped the hilt of the sword, and after a few breaths, it slowly loosened.


    Ji Yuenian didn¡¯t look back, but stood up, pushed open the wooden door, and walked out without saying a word.


    The river of stars traversed the sky, blending with the brilliant silver moonlight and falling down, covering every corner of this small village under the mountain.


    The biting cold wind swirled and swept past. Ji Yuenian seemed to be soaked in the cold from top to bottom, and his face became even paler.


    Even the black robes made by the yin qi of the heaven and the earth seemed to have lost all their miraculous effects at that moment, and even the chilly wind couldn''t be blocked by it.


    Ji Yuenian walked tens of feet away, and stopped under a pine tree which was several feet high.


    It had been a long time since he felt the weakness of being an ordinary person.


    In this world, countless ordinary people were no different from ants, and Ji Yuenian, who had lost everything at that time, really felt the crisis of being annihilated at any time.


    He raised his head slightly, and the huge silhouette of this mountain lay in front of his eyes. Under the reflection of the moonlight, he felt extremely oppressive and suffocating.


    ¡°It will be midnight in two hours. If you leave the village without a spiritual spring to resist the cold, you will be frozen to death by the more fierce cold wind!¡±


    The sweet voice of concern drifted through the biting and roaring night wind and reached Ji Yuenian¡¯s ears.


    Ji Yuenian turned his head slightly, and the girl in white clothes was standing in front of the wooden door, looking at him from afar.


    This village was called Lingquan Village, and it was located under this moat-like Lingquan Mountain. In the center of the village, there was an inexhaustible gurgling spring that nourished the few creatures in the village.


    The girl¡¯s name was Yao. According to her, she had never had parents in her memory since she was born. There were only three families living in the village.


    As for the name ¡°Yao¡±, it was also given by Grandma Sun who lived in the tree temple at the edge of the village.


    Grandma Sun once said that when Yao was born, a rare phenomenon occurred, and the Lingquan Village was covered with heavy snow, so she took a word from the ancient book, and named her.


    Ji Yuenian nodded imperceptibly to the girl standing beside the wooden door, then turned around again, and walked towards the edge of Lingquan Village.


    In the past few days, Yao had already known about Ji Yuenian¡¯s temperament. Seeing him nodding slightly at that time, she knew that he would not leave the village, and couldn¡¯t help but breathe a sigh of relief. S?a??h the ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    The night in Lingquan Village was extremely terrifying. The biting cold wind blew down from the top of Lingquan Mountain, and was enough to freeze all living beings. As far as Ji Yuenian was concerned, even if he had never left the village, the bitter night wind at midnight was simply not something he could bear.


    After about half a stick of incense, Ji Yuenian¡¯s complexion was already extremely pale when he reached the edge of Lingquan Village, but his eyes were still as calm as water, and there was never any ripple.


    ¡°You''re awake.¡± An old voice came from the majestic tree temple standing at the edge of Lingquan Village.


    The tree temple was about thirty feet high. It was a towering giant pine, but its trunk had been carved into a majestic portal by an unknown force, turning this huge pine into a tree temple.


    Ji Yuenian nodded, glanced sideways at the dreadful darkness outside the village, and then walked straight to the entrance under the tree temple .


    Gusts of cold wind swirled past, submerged into the darkness outside Lingquan Village, and disappeared without a trace.


    If one looked down from the top of Lingquan Mountain, he would be horrified to find that Lingquan Village was an isolated village wrapped in boundless darkness!


    The darkness was a bottomless nothingness, which couldn''t be detected at all. Only Lingquan Mountain and Lingquan Village exuding azure blue light stood in the darkness, and it seemed that they would be devoured by the darkness at any time.


    In the tree temple, there were countless ever-bright fireworks lined up on both sides, reflecting the majestic temple as if it were daylight.


    Wherever Ji Yuenian passed by, those fireworks became even brighter, and the magnificent blazing light rose accordingly. It was extremely gorgeous.


    ¡°Do you know where this is?¡±


    The luxurious lady dressed in brocade embroidered with blue clouds and cranes stepped out from deep in the temple, and the next moment she appeared beside Ji Yuenian, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.


    Ji Yuenian could vaguely sense the horror of the noble lady¡¯s cultivation, but at that moment, he didn¡¯t show any timidity, and shook his head slightly.


    He was attacked by the freezing mountain wind just now, and now he was extremely weak. He was able to walk here entirely by the unknown power that surged up in the depths of his blood.


    The noble lady looked at Ji Yuenian carefully for a while, then sighed softly, and said, ¡°Lingquan Mountain is a seal of imperial water that passes through heaven and earth, named ¡®Lihen¡¯. It was a defensive treasure bestowed by His Royal Highness to Princess Ao Li.¡±


    ¡°Princess Ao Li¡¯s fate was tragic. Although I am a weapon spirit living in Lihen, I could only watch the princess perish. There was nothing I can do.¡±


    ¡°According to the order of the princess, this seal has been wandering in the nothingness of the Yinlunyue realm with its own divine power. When you cultivate to the realm of crossing cause and effect, you can leave the Yinlunyue realm through the connection between bloodline power and go to Beiju Luzhou.¡±


    ¡°A few days ago, your true spirit and soul were directly captured by Lihen. After careful investigation, I found out that your body was crushed by an unknown wild god, and your true spirit was protected by the bloodline power. Hold on, and connect the Lihen within the Yinlunyue realm by yourself.¡±


    The noble lady paused, glanced at Ji Yuenian¡¯s expression, and said, ¡°The changes in your body are too complicated now, and even I can¡¯t see clearly due to the many restrictions set by Princess Ao Li. And I can¡¯t help you really wake up.¡±


    Ji Yuenian sensed the hidden meaning in her words, fell silent for a moment, and said, ¡°Really awake?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± the lady nodded, stroking her palms, and all the magnificent fireworks in the temple gathered together, turning into a blazing curtain of fire. ¡°Now your true spirit is in a deep sleep. At this time, you are just the soul attached to the true spirit. If the true spirit cannot wake up, you can only maintain the current state of lifelessness and death for a hundred years, and then your soul will be completely silent in the depths of the true spirit. No difference from death.¡±


    Inside the spiritual curtain was an endless darkness, and in the centre of the darkness was a group of azure blue flames.


    Ji Yuenian stared fixedly at the scene inside the spiritual curtain, and after a long while, he opened his mouth and said, ¡°Ao Li ...¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t ask any more,¡± the noble lady seemed to know what he wanted to ask, and the sadness in her eyes became more intense. ¡°Princess Ao Li has been completely annihilated between heaven and the earth, and this seal of imperial water was the last thing left to you by her. Princess Ao Li¡¯s good intentions are really touching, and you must not blame her for her selfishness and cowardice. If you one day ... can succeed in cultivation, I only hope that you will go to the East Sea¡¯s Zhaoming Mountain, accept Princess Ao Li¡¯s karma.¡±


    ¡°If you can awaken the true spirit, I can mobilize Lihen to reshape your body.¡±


    ¡°Lihen has been restricted by Princess Ao Li, and your current cultivation is too weak. I can only rely on the divine power of Imperial Water Seal to help you a little.¡±


    The noble lady turned around and walked towards the depths of the tree temple, getting farther and farther away, but her voice still echoed very clearly.


    ¡°Ji Yuenian, you only have a hundred years. If you can¡¯t wake up your true spirit within a hundred years, your soul will sink completely, and you will stay in the depths of hatred forever. You will cease to exist between heaven and earth again.¡±

 Ch. 140 - White Clothes Like Snow, Strength Like the Moon

    Xingyuan Peak, Wangxing.Decades had passed by like a white horse galloping through a wasteland, but they had never left a single trace on this Lingxiu mountain peak standing at the core of the Luoxia Mountains.


    A handsome young man in a white robe walked while being surrounded by rainbow light, holding a delicate cyan jade slip in his hand, and a terrifying aura of True Dao Realm surged around him.


    Wherever he passed, almost all the disciples of the Outer Sect of the Luoxia Mountains stopped for a while, and slightly saluted the young man in white robe.


    In the Luoxia Mountain Range, there were not many souls who were at True Dao Realm. This white-robed boy was not any mountain peak master, but was obviously a tyrannical creature from other forces.


    ¡°Xingyuan Peak upper court, Wangxing Court ...¡±


    Whilst the white-robed youth muttered to himself, he elegantly landed beside the majestic gate of Wangxingting Court with his rainbow light.


    ¡°May I ask which superior has come?¡±


    Several guarding disciples in Wangxing Court were a little at a loss, sensed the terrifying aura of the white-robed boy, and rushed forward to salute respectfully.


    Although they were a little flustered, they never had any fear. It was only because they were in the Luoxia Mountain Range. Since this young man in white robes was able to pass through the Tongming Peak and enter the Mountain Range, he must have an upright identity, and he would never be able to casually attack the disciples of the Outer Sect in the Luoxia Mountain Range.


    The young man flicked his robe sleeves and said with a smile, ¡°I am Baiyulou of the Shouyan Mountain Range, and I am here to meet an old friend in Xingyuan Peak.¡±


    The patrolling disciples first glanced at each other, and after a few breaths, one of them took a step forward and said cautiously, ¡°I don¡¯t know where your friend lives, so we can guide you here.¡±


    Bai Yulou put away the rainbow light, and said, ¡°Su Xingyuan, Ji Yuenian.¡±


    As soon as those words came out, the expressions of those patrolling disciples suddenly became extremely strange, and the person who said the words showed an unconcealable astonishment, bowed again, and said slowly, ¡°What Master said just said...¡±


    Bai Yulou frowned slightly, seemed a little displeased, and said, ¡°Brother Ji Yuenian is the number one heavenly talent in the Luoxia Mountain Range, even I have heard of him when I lived in the territory of the Shouyan Mountain Range, don¡¯t you know?


    The aura of the True Dao Realm swept across, and nearly 80% of the disciples in Wangxing Court became aware of the strange situation here, and gathered towards the gate of Wangxing Court one after another, making a lot of commotion.

    The patrol disciple didn¡¯t dare to talk back to Bai Yulou, so he had to put on a bitter face, and say very carefully, ¡°Dare I ask, how long has it been since Master and Ji ... Senior brother Ji have not been in touch?¡±


    Bai Yulou¡¯s eyes moved slightly, and he noticed something wrong with the faces of these Wangxing disciples, but at that moment, he couldn''t comprehend it, and thought for a moment before saying, ¡°More than 30 years, I had a meeting with Brother Ji Yuenian, and we bade farewell in the Shouyan Mountains. I have been cultivating hard in the sect since then, and now I have finally broken from the lower stage to the upper stage of True Dao Realm, so I came here to meet my old friend.¡±


    The patrolling disciple faltered, lowered his head, not daring to say another word.


    One of the general disciples among the Wangxing Court came out, clasped his hands towards him, and said in a deep voice, ¡°Master has never paid attention to the things in the Luoxia Mountain Range during the past thirty years. Senior brother Ji Yuenian was extremely talented, and he was crowned at the Luoxia Mountain Range for a while at the beginning, but his fate was really regrettable. As early as decades ago, he had ... already fallen in the ancient city of Cui Ri.¡±


    Bai Yulou was taken aback for a moment, and slightly clenched the small cyan jade slip in his palm, but he couldn¡¯t utter a complete sentence.

 Ch. 141 - Above the Clouds, Holding the Ghost Talisman

    At the same time, there was a commotion among the disciples. A young man with deer horns in a jasper brocade cloak led several disciples with superb cultivation and walked slowly from the depths of the Forgotten Star Garden. All Feng¡¯s disciples lowered their heads slightly to show their respect.Meanwhile, the disciples suddenly began to chatter among themselves. A young man with deer horns on his head and dressed in a jade green robe slowly approached with several other disciples who were all extremely skilled. As he passed, the disciples of the Starry Sky Peak bowed slightly to show their respect.


    ¡°Greetings to Senior Brother Lu.¡±


    ¡°Brother Lu.¡±


    Lu Ming noticed that the Taiyu profound energy of the initial stage of returning to trueness was surging around him, with a calm expression, he cupped his hands towards the Baiyulou from afar, and said, ¡°Fellow Daoist.¡±


    Lu Ming¡¯s body was surrounded by the Xuan Qi of the True Dao Realm, and his expression was calm. He respectfully bowed towards the Bai Yulou and said, ¡°Friend.¡±


    Bai Yulou¡¯s eyes dimmed, apparently already having decided to leave. He waved his hand slightly and said, ¡°Since Junior Brother Ji Yuenian has passed away, I will not stay here any longer.¡±


    As soon as he finished speaking, a brilliant light surged up around his body, completely enveloping her figure.


    Lu Ming hesitated for a moment before taking a step forward and saying, ¡°Fellow Daoist, please wait.¡± S~?a??h the N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Bai Yulou glanced at him and stopped. His gaze was filled with a hint of confusion as he asked, ¡°What else?¡±


    Under the flicker of light and shadow, a blazing jet-black streamer flowed out of Lu Ming¡¯s palm and hovered in mid-air, emanating an inexplicable aura.


    ¡°This item flew out of the depths of the Sunset Mountains over thirty years ago, and its aura is profound and mysterious. It landed outside the Su Xing Academy, and I deduced that it belonged to Senior Brother Ji,¡± Lu Ming lightly stroked his palm, and the black streamer floated towards the White Jade Tower. ¡°Since you are a friend of Senior Brother Ji, I will give you this item, and it can be considered returning it to its original owner.¡±


    Bai Yulou took the black streamer, and instantly sensed an extremely powerful spiritual power within it. It was a solidified form of a spiritual power, and he was surprised to find dormant spiritual wisdom inside it.


    According to his speculation, this spiritual wisdom should be born after Ji Yuenian instilled something unknown, and was refined by his divine skill, which was similar to an incarnation outside the body.


    Since Ji Yuenian had perished, the spiritual wizdom within it would naturally fall into silence, and there would never be a chance for it to wake up again.


    This object was exactly the pawn that Ji Yuenian left at Dao Yan Temple, ¡°Spiritual Ghost Clothes¡±.


    This ¡°Spiritual Ghost Clothes¡± was nourished by Yuan Jian¡¯s origin power, a demon with a high cultivation, and its power became more miraculous. However, with Ji Yuenian being fallen in the Cui Ri Territory, a sudden change occurred. The subtle connection between Psychic karma Fire was also broken, and ¡°Spiritual Ghost Clothes¡± fell into silence ever since.


    According to speculation, when the divine skill was activated, it directly left the Daoyan Temple deep in the Luoxia Mountains, travelled far away towards Xingyuan Peak in the Luoxia Mountains, and finally stayed outside the Star Tracing Academy of Wangxing court. Then, it was captured by Lu Mingxi.


    Nodding slightly towards Lu Mingxi, Bai Yulou put away the jet-black streamer and said, ¡°Thank you, Fellow Daoist.¡±


    Lu Mingxi cupped his hands towards the Bai Yulou again. He seemed to be recalling what happened decades ago.


    Lu Mingxi was a member of the Lu family of Xuanyuan Peak, and even a descendant of Lu Chongguang, the master of Xuanyuan Peak. He was attached to Ji Yuenian before, and he was willing to be his small assistant, because of Ji Yuenian¡¯s status as holy son candidate, and the bloodline descendant of Tong Xuan Heart Ghost who ignited the Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence.


    Following Ji Yuenian¡¯s fall in the ancient city of Cui Ri, Lu Mingxi naturally had to re-plan his own path. This was human nature, and not the least bit surprising.


    Layers upon layers of clouds were dyed golden-red by the rising sun. Bai Yulou was dressed in a white Daoist robe as he flew across the bright red clouds.


    ¡°There is a spirit in the lake, if you arrest it, follow it.¡±


    The destiny star above the sky was still blazing, pouring down the magnificent and vast star power every moment. Bai Yulou recalled what the master once said, and fell into a trance for a while.


    Flipping his palms, a piece of warm jade came out, and the seal engraved with densely packed small characters also emerged again.


    ¡°All things have spirits, and those who have the opportunity can transform into forms. I am a humble Demonic Tree in Yuanjingxuan Mountain, but I was lucky enough to be pitied by the gods and gave birth to a son, who was named Baiyu Lou by the gods.¡±


    ¡°However, there have been shocking changes since then. Once the Xuanshan Mountain in Yuanjing collapsed and the immortal fled. I didn¡¯t want to leave, and finally died in the place of my transformation.¡±


    ¡°Today, a little inheritance of Yuanjing Xuanshan is condensed in the jade. I hope my son will succeed in cultivation, survive the three major tribulations, and obtain Taiyi, so that he will not suffer from tragedies in his life.¡±


    ¡°Mandala Flower Demon, childish words.¡±


    The soft female voice lingered in his ears, and the sound of howling and collapsing faintly remained around the scene revealed by the jade disc, which should be the terrifying scene when Xuanshan Mountain in Yuanjing collapsed.


    Bai Yulou stopped at some point, waved away the phantom of the jade disc, and quietly stared at the sea of clouds that was soaked in golden red, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.


    ¡°There is a spirit in the lake.¡±


    ¡°Arrest it.¡±


    ¡°Follow it.¡±


    Although Bai Yulou did not know its true meaning, after breaking into the True Dao Realm, he had a little more understanding of this speech.


    Relying on the terrible intuition deep in his mind, he could even vaguely conclude that the ¡°spirit on the lake¡± in this address had a great connection with Ji Yuenian.


    But once Ji Yuenian died within the territory of Cui Ri, Baiyu Lou fell into confusion for a while.


    If the ¡°Spirit of Zeshang¡± refered to Ji Yuenian, then how could he disappear so easily?


    Bai Yulou stretched out his left arm, and on his forearm were countless translucent ghost figures roaring and screaming, as if they wanted to break free, but they couldn¡¯t.


    It was the ghost-handling talisman bestowed by the ¡°Shangxian¡± of Yuan Jingxuan Mountain in the record of the jade disc left by his mother, the Manduo flower demon.


    Taking out the jet-black streamer, Bai Yulou gritted his teeth lightly, and under the trembling of the true spirit, he barely urged a trace of the real power of the ghost-handling talisman, and submerged it into the ¡°spiritual ghost clothes¡±.


    After a few breaths, the phantom of a black-clothed boy appeared under the black light. His expression was extremely numb, and it was obvious that he lacked a lot of spiritual intelligence.


    The appearance of this black-clothed boy bore a certain resemblance to Ji Yuenian, and it was the body of the ¡°Spiriting Ghost Clothes¡± enshrined by the demon Yuanjian at the Daoyan Temple.


    Bai Yulou looked at the ¡°Spirit-Storing Ghost Clothes¡± carefully, and couldn¡¯t help showing some doubts in his eyes.


    Relying on the incomparable mighty power of the ghost palm talisman, Bai Yulou forcibly awakened the spiritual wisdom that was silent in the depths of the ¡°spiritual ghost clothes¡±, but this spiritual wisdom was incomplete. If Ji Yuenian hadn¡¯t poured a trace of psychic karma Fire, I¡¯m afraid that this ¡°spiritual ghost clothes¡± couldn¡¯t even maintain its human form at this time.


    ¡°The incarnation outside the body is an extremely profound divine skill. According to the disciples of Wang Xing Court, when Brother Ji Yuenian died, he was only at True Dao Realm. How could such a similar incarnation be condensed?¡±


    While muttering to himself, Bai Yulou crushed the black-clothed boy into light and shadow again, took it into the black light band, and put it away casually.


    This spiritual intelligence was muddled, and no useful information could be obtained from him at all.


    ¡°No matter whether this thing is an incarnation outside the body or something else, it is extremely incredible that it can continue to maintain a human form after Brother Ji Yuenian died.¡±


    ¡°Or ... there is another possibility.¡±


    Bai Yulou raised his head slightly, looked up at the golden red sun on the top of the blue dome, and said softly, ¡°Brother Ji Yuenian, he hasn¡¯t really disappeared yet.¡±


    According to the records in ancient books, the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost had many divine and unique ways after all.


    Bai Yulou shook his head slightly, no longer thinking about it. The flames around him rose again, and he pierced through the magnificent sea of clouds, hurrying towards the Shouyan Mountain Range.

 Ch. 142 - Seal of Imperial Water, Lianhen

    Lingquan Village, Maoshi.The thin morning mist filled the air, and the biting chill seemed to have dissipated a lot in this haze.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take you out of the village!¡±


    Yao wore a moon-white skirt with patterns of brocade and flowers, and looked down at Ji Yuenian who was sitting on the ground by the side of the spiritual spring. The back of the young man was clearly reflected in her clear pupils.


    Ji Yuenian did not look back, but kept his eyes lowered, stared at the surging spiritual spring under the stone platform, and said softly, ¡°Beyond spiritual spring Village, there is endless nothingness and darkness.¡±


    ¡°So what?¡± There was a smile on Yao¡¯s small face, she squatted down slightly, ignoring the dirt on her white skirt, and turned her head to look at Ji Yuenian¡¯s profile. ¡°You can¡¯t go out at night. The daytime is different, there are many moonlight spirits in the nothingness of the Yinlunmoon realm, which is very beautiful!¡±


    Ji Yuenian turned his head slightly, and glanced at her, without any ripple in his quiet eyes.


    ¡°I am not lying to you!¡± Seeing that Ji Yuenian seemed a little disbelieving, Yao directly stretched out her slender white fingers and pointed in the direction of the top of Lingquan Mountain. ¡°Under the divine protection of seal of Imperial Water, if you go too far from Lingquan Village, you won¡¯t be devoured by nothingness.¡± S?a??h th? N?velF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    The seal of imperial water was called ¡°Li Hen¡±, and it was the treasure of protection that His Highness bestowed to Princess Ao Li.


    After Princess Ao Li passed away, Li Hen had been wandering in the darkness of the Yinlun Moon Realm, just like a grain of gravel in the Ganges River, without the slightest noticeable place.


    ¡°The moonlight spirit is the essence of good fortune condensed by moonlight power. Ordinary creatures have never even heard of it!¡± Seeing that Ji Yuenian followed her gaze, Yao couldn¡¯t help but feel a little proud. ¡°I once gathered hundreds of moonlight spirits, and weaved two extremely beautiful brocade clothes with my own hands.¡±


    Ji Yuenian felt that sensing the psychic karma fir was fruitless, and even though he stayed by the side of the spiritual spring for a long time, he never had the slightest clue.


    Hearing Yao¡¯s ¡°moonlight spirit¡± at this time, his thoughts moved slightly. He flicked his black sleeve robe, stood up straight, and said. ¡°Good.¡±


    Yao nodded vigorously, and stretched out her small hand, as if to pull Ji Yuenian¡¯s slender and pale fingers, but following the young man¡¯s gaze, she couldn¡¯t help feeling a little bit at a loss, and instead grabbed Ji Yuenian¡¯s sleeve. ¡°But before leaving the village, I have to go and talk to Grandma Sun first.¡±


    The ¡°Grandma Sun¡± was the luxurious lady who lived in the tree temple on the edge of Lingquan Village, and she was also the spirit of the seal of imperial water.


    According to Yao, apart from Grandma Sun in the tree temple, there were three families of living beings living in Lingquan Village, one of which was Yao herself, and the other two were extremely mysterious people that even Yao had never seen.


    Walking to the side of the tree temple on the edge of Lingquan Village, Ji Yuenian looked at the gorgeous and magnificent scene in front of him, and even his heart throbbed a little under the influence of an unknown force.


    In the boundless darkness, there were countless shining bright stars, and the colorful lights sprinkled into his pupils, forming a vast and beautiful grand picture.


    There were also many moonlight spirits in the darkness. Each one of them was like a white rainbow penetrating the sun, dragging a long flame tail and passing by quickly, and from time to time, a moonlight spirit fell into Lingquan Village, they were all blocked by the looming blue light curtain.


    Obviously, these moonlight spirits were the ¡°moonlight spirits¡± mentioned by Yao.


    In this vast universe, Lingquan Mountain and Lingquan Village were like an imperceptible speck of dust, lingering in the blue light all the time, wandering slowly in the darkness.


    If it weren¡¯t for the divine protection of the seal of imperial water, ordinary creatures would simply not be able to stay in the nothingness of the Yinlunmoon realm, and within a breath, their true spirit would be annihilated and completely dissipate between heaven and the earth.


    ¡°You wait here for a while, and I will go to the tree temple to tell Grandma Sun about leaving the village.¡±


    Yao¡¯s sweet voice gradually faded away. Ji Yuenian glanced at her, did not speak, and turned his head silently. He continued to stare at the vast and magnificent scene in the darkness in front of him.


    Suddenly, a moonlight spirit flashed across tens of feet of darkness. The long and gorgeous flame tail was extremely bright, and the ice-blue halo surged from the flame tail.


    Even with a distance of tens of feet, Ji Yuenian could still clearly perceive the terrifying moonlight power contained in the moonlight spirit. This place was the void of the Yinlun Moon Realm. It was formed by the condensing of the purest moonlight, and its miraculousness and mystery couldn¡¯t be expressed in words.


    The girl in white clothes named ¡°Yao¡± seemed to be just a mortal. How could she ingest hundreds of such terrifying moonlight spirits by herself?


    Although this moonlight spirit looked gorgeous and bright, it was extremely dangerous to living beings.


    While thinking about it, under the majestic entrance of the tree temple, there was a figure in a brocade white dress walking over, followed by Yao with a concerned voice, ¡°I forgot to tell you just now, don¡¯t step out of the azure blue shimmering range of the Imperial Water Seal, otherwise even Grandma Sun can¡¯t save you.¡±


    Ji Yuenian¡¯s mood changed slightly. He looked up subconsciously, and suddenly laughed a little.


    The blue shimmering edge of the Imperial Water Seal was still a hundred feet away from here, and the surroundings of Lingquan Village and Lingquan Mountain were covered with faint blue light curtains. The dark void of the abyss lay beyond it.


    Yao pulled Ji Yuenian¡¯s sleeve, grabbed something between her slender and white fingers, tilted her head and said with a smile. ¡°The moonlight spirit is a mysterious and miraculous creation, you need this treasure to ingest it.¡±


    It was a delicate paper fan depicting an ancient full moon.


    The bottom of this paper fan was moon white, and the fan bones arranged on it were glowing with a bright ice blue halo, which clearly showed the extraordinariness of this thing.


    Ji Yuenian was silent for a moment, and said, ¡°If my predictions are correct, you should be transformed by the moonlight spirit condensed by chance and coincidence.¡±


    As soon as this remark came out, Yao¡¯s small face showed a little shock for the first time. After a few breaths, her expression returned to normal. She raised her head slightly, looked at Ji Yuenian and said, ¡°Why did you say that?¡±


    Ji Yuenian took a step slowly, left the area of Lingquan Village, landed on the translucent blue light curtain spreading from the edge of the village, and said softly, ¡°Just now a spirit of moonlight passed by here, I can perceive the terrifying power of good fortune and the moonlight power contained in it, and you can absorb hundreds of moonlight spirits alone. Even with the blessing of treasures, it is not easy to absorb so many moonlight spirits. ¡±


    Yao hesitated for a while, and retorted. ¡°You are just a mortal now, with no cultivation in your body.¡±


    Her words were very obscure, but Ji Yuenian instantly understood what Yao wanted to express.


    For ordinary mortals, no matter whether it was the creatures in the Xuan Realm or the creatures in the Divine Sea Realm, they were as inviolable as the high gods.


    Just like Ji Yuenian today, his cultivation base was almost nothing. According to common sense, it was impossible for him to see the real horror of the moonlight spirit.

 Ch. 143 - The Star Sea Collapses and the Sky Turns Upside Down

    Ji Yuenian shook his head slightly, glanced at Yao¡¯s brocade white dress, and said, ¡°According to ancient records, the realm above the Divine Sea Realm is called the Divine Palace Realm, it¡¯s the Yin-Yang crossing realm that does not exist in the Yuanyan realm where I lived. Although I have a shallow cultivation base, I have also known the horror of this kind of creature, and the horror of this moonlight spirit ¡­ It has even surpassed the Yin-Yang Crossing Realm, and it is definitely not something that ordinary creatures can absorb.¡±After a pause, he looked back at Yao¡¯s clothes, and then gazed at the vast sea of stars beyond the blue curtain again. ¡°You are extremely weak now, and you are not different from me, but since you can absorb the moonlight spirit, then there is only one possibility left.¡±


    ¡°You are the form of the moonlight spirit.¡±


    ¡°Not just one, but many moonlight spirits were condensed and transformed.¡±


    Ji Yue flicked his sleeves, reached out and took the folding fan glowing with ice-blue halo from the girl¡¯s palm, and said, ¡°Mrs. Sun once said that there was heavy snow when you were born. In fact, it was not snow at all, but for some reason, the numerous moonlight spirits condensed in the Imperial Water Seal.¡±


    Quiet.


    Yao let Ji Yuenian take away the ice-blue folding fan from her hand, and for the first time, she showed a very serious look on her small face, carefully sizing up the handsome young man in black robes.


    After a long while, she suddenly smiled, and her temperament changed drastically. There was even a little halo of moonlight on the side of her fair and pretty face. ¡°Ji Yuenian is worthy of being son of Princess Ao Li. The bloodlines, the wisdom, and the prudence have already reached a level that makes people fear.¡±


    Ji Yuenian caressed the cold blue bones of the folding fan, and said softly, ¡°Then why did you act like this before?¡±


    Yao Lian moved lightly, took a silent step, stood beside Ji Yuenian, then she stared at the brilliant sea of stars in, and said in a complex tone, ¡°I was born in the seal of imperial water, and in a place where thousands of moonlight spirits were gathered, and although my spiritual wisdom was born from the divine power of the Imperial Water Seal, because of this, I will never be able to leave this place.¡±


    ¡°Grandma Sun gets along with me day and night, but naturally I can¡¯t bear the loneliness that I endure for countless years here.¡±


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t until one day that I really realized that the seal of imperial water is a treasure from the East Sea, named ¡®Lihen¡¯, and that Lingquan Mountain and Lingquan Village are just a trace of the divine power of ¡®Lihen¡¯.¡± S?a??h the ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Grandma Sun once said that if I want to get out of the prison of ¡®Li Hate¡¯, I have to wait.¡±


    ¡°Wait for Princess Ao Li¡¯s only bloodline to reach the Yin-Yang Crossing Realm, then Lihen will leave the Yinlun Moon Realm through the power of the connection between the bloodlines, and head to Beiju Luzhou. Only then will I have a chance to regain my freedom. ¡±


    ¡°During the long wait, you were suddenly captured by Lihen¡¯s Chishui divine power.¡±


    ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t intend to pretend,¡± Yao turned her head suddenly, and looked at Ji Yuenian¡¯s fair side face. ¡°My moonlight power is trapped in Lihen, and I can¡¯t use it at all. Inside, I am no different from an ordinary person.¡±


    Ji Yuenian sat down on the ground under the light blue curtain, put the folding fan by his hand, and said, ¡°Mrs. Sun spends time with you, and she really takes good care of you, and even placed my soul body in the wooden house you live in is really well-intentioned.¡±


    Lihen was the property of Princess Ao Li, and its existence had only one meaning, and that was to protect Ji Yuenian.


    Grandma Sun was the temporary weapon spirit within Lihen; her cultivation was beyond words, but because Ji Yuenian was in the bloodline descendant of Princess Ao Li, she couldn¡¯t feel any evil towards Ji Yuenian at all.


    Even though Grandma Sun was very partial to Yao and wanted to help her break free from the bondage of Lihen, there was no good way. Therefore, when Ji Yuenian was captured by Lihen a few days ago, Grandma Sun took him away, and placed him with Yao. Such a terrible scheming was not without deep thoughts.


    Yao was startled by Ji Yuenian¡¯s intelligence, knowing that it was no longer possible to hide it any more, she gritted her teeth lightly, and said, ¡°I want to ask you for a drop of your true spirit blood.¡±


    She originally wanted to get closer to Ji Yuenian for a little longer, and slowly figure a way out, but he saw through the truth in such a short time. Although Yao¡¯s face was still calm, her heart was already inexplicably shocked.


    True Blood.


    The four words were spoken so lightly, but they had an incomparably terrifying weight to living beings.


    The true spirit was the root of life. Even if the soul died, the true spirit would go to the six reincarnations, and the blood of the true spirit was the support that carried the true essence.


    There were several to dozens of drops of true spirit blood within the true spirit, and each drop of true spirit blood might carry a part of the original memory of the true spirit.


    And if a drop of the blood of the true spirit was lost, the soul was very likely to be completely destroyed and become mortal. What¡¯s more, the soul would collapse, and the true spirit would directly reincarnate into the next life.


    The nature of all creatures was selfish.


    If Yao wanted to break free from the bondage of Lihen, one of the first steps was to wait for Ji Yuenian to reach the Yin-Yang Crossing Realm. At that time, Ji Yuenian would be able to initially control the divine power of Lihen, and she would have a chance to escape from this treasure.


    The second was to take a drop of Ji Yuenian¡¯s true spirit blood, and let Grandma Sun forcefully activate the power of the true spirit blood originating from Ao Li¡¯s bloodline with the spirit body, to release a trace of the confinement of the divine power of imperial water, and Yao would be able to get out of trouble.


    At that moment, the opportunity to gain freedom was close at hand, and Yao was obviously unwilling to wait any longer.


    Ji Yuenian¡¯s eyes were still deep and quiet, and he looked up at the moon light that flew by from time to time in the sea of stars, and said, ¡°It seems that Mrs. Sun doesn¡¯t want to wake up my true spirit. Only after a hundred years, my soul will be annihilated. And only in this way, can she wantonly concoct my sleeping true spirit, and even control Lihen unscrupulously.¡±


    Madam Sun, as Lihen¡¯s temporary weapon spirit, might be loyal to Princess Ao Li, but that was only in the past.


    There was nothing static in this world, especially the heart.


    After her complete annihilation, for Mrs. Sun, there was no more tyrannical imprisonment that could suppress her.


    The only person with the bloodline to do that was Ji Yuenian who lived at the border of Beiju Luzhou.


    Ji Yuenian actually guessed Madam Sun¡¯s deeply hidden thoughts almost exactly through Yao¡¯s few words!


    After saying this, Yao¡¯s fair and delicate face was extremely pale, and she could no longer maintain a calm look, and even her voice trembled a little, ¡°You ¡­ you ¡­ how is this possible!¡±


    Ji Yuenian glanced at her, walked directly towards the edge of the azure light curtain farther away, and said, ¡°Perhaps ... even the words of awakening the true spirit within a hundred years are very likely to be Madam Sun¡¯s lies, even what you see with your eyes is not necessarily true.¡±


    After saying this, under Yao¡¯s extremely complicated eyes, Ji Yuenian had already stepped out of the azure blue divine power range of the Seal of Imperial Water, stepping into the real darkness of nothingness.


    Boom!


    The sea of stars shattered, and the sky turned upside down.


    Amidst the complex light and shadow changes, Ji Yuenian opened his eyes again, and what he saw was still the familiar Lingquan Village.


    It was just that ... the Lingquan Village had changed.
