The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 13 Journey

In the vast sea of ​​clouds, a young man was flying through the air like the wind. He was agile, and his black robe rustled in the wind, like a dragon soaring into the clouds.

There seemed to be an invisible air under his feet, and his whole body seemed to be integrated with the air of heaven and earth. His eyes were firm and focused, looking straight ahead.

During the flight, the air around him turned into wisps of breeze, wrapping around him. His figure cast a long shadow under the sunlight, giving off a dreamlike and ethereal feeling.

The young man in black robe was none other than Ji Xiaoshan, who wanted to enter the Black and White Academy in Anchan City.

In the sky, clouds rolled and unrolled, and Ji Xiaoshan shuttled through them, sometimes being obscured by thick clouds, and sometimes breaking through the clouds. His speed was extremely fast, and wherever he passed, only a fleeting light and shadow was left, like a flash of light passing between heaven and earth.

This was the third day since Ji Xiaoshan left Xifu. He flew "slowly" every day relying on his own energy. He flew for seven or eight hours a day and spent the remaining four or five hours on the ground.

Find a safe and secluded place to recover the excessive energy consumed in the body, practice the innate level skills of "Chi Ming Jiu Tian Tu", and practice swordsmanship.

Ji Xiaoshan's flying speed was not very fast. Without a boat, he tried his best to circulate his energy to fly, but he could only travel about 50,000 to 60,000 miles a day.

However, the distance from Yanshan Mountain to Anchan City is nearly two million miles. The mountains are high and the roads are long. Although he is strong, he cannot be careless and has to save some strength. He cannot use the flying sword which consumes too much energy, so he can only fly slowly in the sky.

Although Ji Xiaoshan has only reached the early stage of Purple Mansion cultivation, compared to other ordinary Purple Mansion cultivators, he has the added strength of the Sword Song Art, and a powerful soul that breeds the divine thoughts that can only be manifested by the True Man of All Things.

And with the blessing of divine consciousness, he would still have some confidence even if he really met an ordinary Wanxiang Zhenren.

Flying slowly in the sky is somewhat conspicuous, but compared to riding a mount and walking slowly on the ground, which would take one or two years and involve trekking through mountains and rivers, Ji Xiaoshan doesn't have the patience, and there is no need for it.

As long as we keep flying at this speed for a few dozen days, we will reach Anchan City.

……

"call!"

Ji Xiaoshan, who woke up from his practice, exhaled lightly. His Qi training had already reached the early stage of Purple Mansion. With the help of "Ten Thousand Swords Song", he could slowly practice to the perfection of Purple Mansion, but it was not worth the loss.

"Song of Ten Thousand Swords" is only an earth-level method, and the speed of absorbing the vital energy of heaven and earth is indeed slow. Although the level of Purple Mansion is low, it actually involves building a Purple Mansion Lake in the Dantian, which is the foundation of practice.

However, the Purple Mansion Lake that can be constructed within the Dantian by this earth-level method is pitifully small. It is far better to directly enroll in the Black and White Academy and practice an immortal-level method.

The reason why larger sects only recruit Qi-cultivating monks in the early Purple Mansion stage is for this reason.

The cultivator's method of building the Purple Mansion foundation is poor, and the Purple Mansion lake for building the foundation is far less large than the Purple Mansion lake cultivated by the powerful techniques in the sect. Even if he achieves something in the future, he can only become a small fry and a stepping stone for those chosen ones.

As long as a cultivator's cultivation level exceeds the early stage of Purple Mansion, the Purple Mansion Lake in his Dantian will be finalized. After that, even if he switches to practice advanced methods, it will be difficult to start over.

Cultivation is like building a house. If the foundation is not laid well from the beginning, or the foundation is built very small, even if the house is built very high in the future by chance, it is just a castle in the air, far less powerful than the geniuses who lay a solid foundation from childhood and build a vast palace.

Ji Xiaoshan, who was practicing the God and Demon Body Refining Style, had no such worries. He had been accumulating energy since he broke through the innate life level of the "Chi Ming Jiu Tian Tu" in the Ji Clan's Northern Palace. The leap of the general small realm of the "Chi Ming Jiu Tian Tu" was based on the usual gradual accumulation, such as from the fourth level to the fifth level, and from the fifth level to the sixth level. It was all about gradual cultivation and continuous accumulation.

But from the sixth level to the seventh level, it is a great realm leap, the divine body will have a fundamental leap, even more amazing than the energy required for the previous three levels combined. This set of divine and demonic body refining method is the most difficult method, but also the most powerful method.

It originated from the widespread circulation of the "Red Bright Nine Heavens Diagram". Generally, in a powerful sect, the best method is this "Red Bright Nine Heavens Diagram", and it is difficult for other gods and demons to surpass this "Red Bright Nine Heavens Diagram".

During the time that Ji Xiaoshan was on the road, he had been practicing the "Chi Ming Jiu Tian Tu". The only benefit of this divine and demonic body training method for him now was that in a small realm, the requirement for training resources was almost non-existent.

Ji Xiaoshan did not disappoint his extraordinary talent and comprehension. After a long period of accumulation, he had cultivated the "Chi Ming Jiu Tian Tu" to the sixth level. He was so obsessed with cultivation that even the time he spent on traveling was compressed a lot these days.

……

On the twentieth day after Ji Xiaoshan left Yanshan, he had already gotten used to the boring flying in the sky.

At first, when I looked around, I saw the blue sky and the rolling sea of ​​clouds, wave after wave. Under the pouring sunlight, my eyes were filled with magnificent scenes. I suddenly felt my mind open and even my realm was slightly elevated.

That kind of scenery was something that was unattainable in one’s lifetime as a mortal being. But no matter how beautiful the scenery was along the way, if it was repeated every day, one would get tired of it. Even a monk would get a little tired of the endless journey.

During these twenty days, he went from initial excitement to exhaustion, from exhaustion to numbness, and then to indifference. Ji Xiaoshan felt that he had adapted well. The most important thing to learn on the road to immortal cultivation was probably to endure loneliness. Ji Xiaoshan often thought about this.

Every time at that time, Ji Xiaoshan would sit in meditation and regulate his breathing, practicing the "Chi Ming Jiu Tian Tu", enjoying the feeling of divine power filling his body and becoming stronger bit by bit.

"Huh? Another one!" Ji Xiaoshan once again felt a strong wave coming from behind. He turned his head and saw a huge sailboat shuttling through the sea of ​​clouds in the distance. Sometimes it was obscured by thick clouds, and sometimes it broke through the clouds and rushed towards him rapidly.

Starting from the eighteenth day, calculating the distance, the closer Ji Xiaoshan got to Anchan City, the more frequently he encountered cultivators on the road.

Those immortal cultivators saw him flying slowly in the air from afar, so they kept a distance from him and flew past him on their magic weapons.

Today, this big ship is the closest one.

The sailboat in the distance was crushing the waves and approaching him rapidly. The things on the sailboat gradually became clear in Ji Xiaoshan's eyes.

On the huge deck of the sailboat, a white-haired old man stood at the bow. The air waves created by the sailboat gently blew up the old man's silver hair and beard. He was wearing a gray Taoist robe with fluttering sleeves, looking like an immortal, as if the legendary immortal had quietly walked out of a scroll.

"What a Taoist with an immortal look!" Ji Xiaoshan looked at him and was extremely amazed at the old man's image. His image of the Taoist gradually overlapped with the immortal he had imagined in his mind.

Being used to seeing the Ji clan members wearing all kinds of animal skins, it was actually a bit of a novelty when I saw this Taoist up close for the first time.

He secretly became alert. Compared with the cultivators he had met before, who kept their distance from each other when they saw each other from afar, it was extremely abnormal for this old man to sail the sailboat so close to him.

Hahaha, I didn’t have much chance to write last night. I slacked off at work all morning and quietly wrote the first chapter of today. Sorry to have kept you all waiting!
