The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 10 Leaving
time flies……

Ji Xiaoshan opened his eyes and looked around. The sword shadow notes floating in the air surrounded him, rhythmically moving, and exuding an unfathomable and mysterious aura.

"Disperse!"

Ji Xiaoshan was silent for a moment. The sword music he had just realized seemed to still have a lingering aftertaste, making people intoxicated. He shouted softly and waved away the sword shadows that surrounded him.

On the path to becoming an immortal, it is extremely rare for a cultivator to gain an understanding of the Tao.

On the long road of cultivating immortals, Tao is the foundation.

As for the understanding of Tao, practitioners can improve any skill, whether it is swordsmanship, knife skills, spearmanship or even painting.

The first level is the foundation, which means being extremely familiar with this skill.

The second level is the realm of subtlety, which means that the mastery of this skill has reached perfection.

The third level is the unity of man and nature. By then, one has mastered this skill perfectly, the skill is close to the Tao, and reaches the level of the upper body and the heart of heaven.

After achieving unity between heaven and man, the monks comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth, gradually develop their own unique insights, and gradually discover the "Tao". When they gain something, they can be considered to have realized a trace of the true meaning of Tao, which is the fourth level of "the true meaning of Tao".

It is extremely difficult to comprehend the true meaning of Taoism, and even some Purple Mansion cultivators with average comprehension may not be able to gain anything.

With his usual accumulation, Ji Xiaoshan's swordsmanship had reached the state of unity between man and nature at an early stage, and had reached an extremely high level in it.

This time of practicing sword, just by displaying the sword skills, he could feel that the Dao between heaven and earth could be easily mobilized by him.

Ji Xiaoshan was thinking about it, but he saw Ji Liuzhen and his wife not far away, and couldn't help laughing.

Ji Liuzhen was seen sitting on the bluestone steps at the entrance of the hall in an ungraceful manner, with a smile of surprise still on his face. Su Wanjun was still wearing the familiar white dress, still as elegant as orchid, as if she could still look at everything in the world calmly as usual.

Ji Xiaoshan knew that he and his father were the ones who could concern her.

"Father!" Ji Xiaoshan shouted.

Seeing the imageless man sitting on the stairs, pretending not to hear anything, he raised his voice.

"Father, you know that I have already mastered the Ten Thousand Swords Song." Ji Xiaoshan explained softly.

"When I was practicing sword skills before, I naturally felt that the Ten Thousand Swords Song should be activated in this way. With enough accumulation, comprehending the true meaning of the Tao will naturally be a matter of course." He spoke softly. The two people present were both his closest relatives, so what he said was naturally his true thoughts.

When he was practicing sword just now, he felt that his soul and spirit were more comfortable than ever before, and a faint warmth like the warm sun spread throughout his body.

In this comfortable state, he tried to comprehend and practice the "Ten Thousand Swords Song"...

Suddenly, the inspiration came like a spring, all kinds of thoughts flooded into my mind in an instant, and countless inspirations flashed in my mind.

That feeling is extremely wonderful.

As he spoke, seeing that Ji Liuzhen still had no reaction, Ji Xiaoshan looked up at the woman in white, only to see that Su Wanjun also looked helpless.

"Liu Zhen!" She raised her hand and touched him lightly. She felt a little helpless. One was her husband and the other was her son. Her husband was probably shocked by her son's terrifying talent. This was something she never expected.

Back then, Ji Liuzhen was also a genius like the blazing sun in the Ji family, otherwise he would not have become one of the few Purple Mansion cultivators in the Ji family.

"Ah?! Hahaha!" Ji Liuzhen came back to his senses and laughed.

"I'm fine. I was just too excited. Xiaoshan's cultivation has been improving continuously. I was thinking about something for a while and didn't come back to my senses."

Ji Liuzhen explained, but the smile on his face never stopped.

Ji Xiaoshan's foundation for cultivation has been established. As a father, Ji Liuzhen is naturally very happy. When he went to the Ji clan's ancestral mansion, he heard congratulations and praises along the way. People are used to adding icing on the cake. Seeing Ji Xiaoshan's strong talent, he quickly stepped onto the innate level from the beginning of his cultivation, and then reached innate perfection. He was unstoppable along the way. Who else of the same generation as Ji Xiaoshan can do this?

He was happy, but the mask of a strict father blocked his open warmth towards his son.

But before he could make any changes, Ji Xiaoshan tried to break through by force, but fell into a coma after failing. He had been worried ever since, worried that the failure to break through would damage his foundation, and worried that this gifted child would never recover from this...

He may be the lord who controls all affairs of the Beifu, big or small, and he may have enough tacit understanding with Su Wanjun and be a good husband who teaches their only son well. However, this cannot change the fact that he is not good at communication between father and son.

During the time when Ji Xiaoshan was in a coma, he just kept practicing and dealing with various matters in the mansion, but was unwilling to face his unconscious only son.

That doesn't prevent a mother from doing these things, but it's not consistent with what he, who usually plays the role of a strict father, can do.

Although Ji Xiaoshan's talent is innate, without his and Su Wanjun's hands-on teaching, it would be difficult to predict what his future would be like.

Ever since Ji Xiaoshan woke up, he began to adapt to putting down the mask of a strict father and getting along with his son in a casual manner.

Today, Ji Xiaoshan has surpassed his master in both cultivation and realm, and he has even comprehended the true meaning of Tao today.

Ji Liuzhen was thinking about what happened yesterday, and in the blink of an eye, the young eagle was about to spread its wings and fly.

At that moment, he was filled with emotion until he was awakened by a familiar voice...

"Xiaoshan, are you leaving?" Su Wanjun felt the inexplicable emotions emanating from Ji Xiaoshan. With her keen insight, she knew that this day would eventually come. This was also what Ji Xiaoshan had agreed with her and Ji Liuzhen.

"Mother, I plan to first find a method of divine and demonic body refining in my Ji family. If I succeed in my practice, I will try to set out for Anchan County to find a sect to join!" Su Wanjun still clearly remembers the young man who had just broken through the Purple Mansion saying these words firmly, as well as his eyes full of divine light.

She and Ji Liuzhen knew long ago that this day would come. Their son was a genius with outstanding talents. He would definitely be at the forefront even among the big sects.

Ji was too young to provide the nutrients needed for the dragon to grow, and he would eventually leave Yanshan. But when that day came, Su Wanjun still felt distressed and reluctant.

"Mother." Ji Xiaoshan walked forward and hugged the woman in white. Although he looked like a teenager, his tall stature covered the white dress tightly. He said softly,
"This world is vast, and there are many strong people. I need to go out and explore. When I join a sect and have achieved success in cultivation, I will come back immediately."

"Well, I understand." Su Wanjun smiled. Although her son had grown up, his roots were still in Yanshan, in the Ji family, and in her and Ji Liuzhen's family. She then said, "When you are away from home, your family will always be your support. Don't worry!"

"Mother." Ji Xiaoshan let go of Su Wanjun and handed her a magic storage device. "These treasures were given to me by you when I first entered the Xiantian level. Later, I also gained some during my training in Yanshan. These are prepared for you."

"The road to becoming an immortal is long, and you don't want me to go too far without seeing you by my side, right? If you can break through to become a Purple Mansion cultivator like your father, you can live longer." Ji Xiaoshan said.

As a congenital creature, his realm was still a little low, with a life span of only 200 years. Of course, with his talent, as long as he didn't die prematurely, he would definitely be able to lead his parents and the Ji family to become stronger.

"Okay, you'll definitely see him when you come back." Su Wanjun nodded.

……

Ji Xiaoshan is gone.

Without letting his parents see him off, he asked Ji Liuzhen and his wife to go back.

Late at night.

A bright white crescent moon hung obliquely in the sky, casting cold moonlight, and the entire Beifu was silent.

Ji Xiaoshan came to his parents' door alone and watched them quietly, "Father, mother, when I come back, I will lead you to the true path of cultivating immortals and spread the reputation of my Ji family to this endless land. In the future, I will definitely be famous in the three realms."

Then, the boy covered in moonlight walked alone and gradually went away...
