The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 179: Guidance from the Three Pure Ones

In the east of the heaven, on Qingping Fairy Island, inside the cave.

Wow!
Ji Xiaoshan waved his sleeves and suddenly a majestic beast appeared, which was the Wangtian Shenhou.

He looked at Wangtian Shenhou and smiled, "Wangtian, now that you have followed me to the heaven, you are also a spirit beast under my command. This is the token I applied for you at the Good Deeds Hall. Your information is recorded inside. With this token, you can freely enter and exit most areas of my sect."

As Ji Xiaoshan spoke, a purple jade talisman appeared in his hand, and he immediately handed it to Wangtian Shenhu.

"Thank you, big brother!" Wangtian Shenhu showed a happy expression, and immediately put away the jade talisman. In his inherited memory, he also knew the power of Taoism and its profound heritage.

"It's a small matter. When you helped me protect the Ji family in Yanshan before, I didn't say thank you!" Ji Xiaoshan said, "You are now considered a disciple of my Sanqing lineage, and you can enjoy some special treatment. The specific information is in this identity jade talisman, you can find out after refining it."

"Yes." Wangtian Shenhu nodded in response.

……

As the months passed, Ji Xiaoshan would go to Wandao Palace to challenge the puppet almost every once in a while.

After all, spending a thousand good deeds can exchange for a chance to fight a puppet. After all, fighting with puppets can sharpen swordsmanship, and the strength of puppets is not static. As the number of defeats increases, the strength of puppets will gradually increase.

Of course, it is not easy to compete with puppets. After all, Taoism has been using this mechanism for countless years. It is naturally for the purpose of training disciples and strengthening the power of Taoism. It is naturally impossible for cultivators to easily find loopholes.

For example, in a competition with a sixth-order puppet, the sixth-order puppet used brutal swordsmanship in the first competition, but the second, third, fourth time... the puppet's fighting style would change. At first, it used swordsmanship, and later it even used knives, spears, and long sticks, and even controlled flying swords, controlled magic weapons, controlled formations to assist, etc.... making the sixth-order puppet more and more difficult to defeat.

However, every time he defeated a puppet, he could choose a method. The sixth-level method of the Wandao Palace alone was much stronger than the Black and White Academy and the Daozang he had obtained.

He had not had many profound Taoist scriptures for him to study along the way, so now that he could access the vast Taoist scriptures, he was naturally eager to learn.

Ji Xiaoshan defeated the sixth-level puppets many times and obtained more than fifty sword-fighting books on the sixth floor.

Many of the secret books in the Wandao Palace were written by gods and immortals, and even many were written by Daozu... But Ji Xiaoshan has already walked out of his own way, whether it is the wooden ruler swordsmanship or the reciprocating sword style created with the cause and effect and swordsmanship as the core...

Naturally, it is impossible to change one's ways easily. Instead, one focuses on wooden ruler swordsmanship and cause-and-effect swordsmanship, absorbs the essence of other swordsmanship, and integrates it into the swordsmanship for continuous improvement and change.

When he created the Mu Chi sword technique, he constantly absorbed the essence of the Nine Chapters of Mu Chi, and constantly absorbed the sword marks left by the Three Pure Ones in Chaoyin Immortal Mansion... and then formed a way that belonged to Ji Xiaoshan himself.

……

"Brother, you seem to be in a very good mood this time when you came out of seclusion?" Wangtian Shenhou looked up at Ji Xiaoshan who was sitting in the yard drinking wine and said.

"In the past six months, I have fought with the sixth-level puppets of Wandao Palace nearly fifty times, and learned fifty sword techniques of different styles. Now, I have even realized a rudimentary form of the second style of my cause-and-effect sword technique..." Ji Xiaoshan said with a smile on his face.

“You have figured out a rudiment of the second move?” Upon hearing this, Wangtian Shenhu was delighted. “Brother, you have finally figured it out? Since you have already got a beginning, it won’t be long before you can fully figure out the second move!”

Ji Xiaoshan had brought him along every time he went to the Wandao Palace in the past six months. He naturally knew how powerful this karma sword technique was. Even the first move was already extremely powerful, not to mention if the second move was realized...

"Exactly. It's really not easy!" Ji Xiaoshan sighed, "If it weren't for the guidance of Master, and if I hadn't read fifty volumes of swordsmanship books left by gods, immortals, and even Taoist masters, it wouldn't be so easy..."

suddenly--

"Uncle Qingping!"

A childish voice sounded from outside the fairy island.

“Hmm?” Ji Xiaoshan’s hand holding the wine suddenly froze, “It’s Junior-Junior Sister Mingyue! She came to me suddenly… It must be Master who wanted to find me!”

"Wangtian, follow me to welcome Junior-Junior Brother Mingyue!" Ji Xiaoshan said

Wow~~

As soon as he thought about it, the figures of a man and a beast suddenly appeared above the fairy island.

"Uncle Master Qingping!" The little Taoist boy Mingyue bowed respectfully.

"Junior Brother Mingyue." Ji Xiaoshan said with a smile, "Junior Brother, did you come to my cave residence because Master wants to see me for something?"

"Greetings to the fairy boy Mingyue!" The god Wangtian on the side also spoke.

Mingyue glanced at the God of Heaven, nodded slightly, and then said, "Uncle Qingping, it is the Grandmaster who wants to see you. He is waiting for you in Bajing Palace!"

"Okay." Ji Xiaoshan nodded, "Let's go now!"

... "Master." Ji Xiaoshan looked at the old man in Taoist robe sitting high on the cushion and said respectfully.

The Taoist Master Sanqing smiled and said, "Qingping, you have been my disciple for half a year and have comprehended many of the secret techniques of the sixth level of the Wandao Palace. Do you have any questions?"

Ji Xiaoshan's eyes lit up when he heard this. This was his master trying to give him some guidance!

He immediately said, "I have read many sword techniques and have many doubts. I have created the wooden ruler sword technique and the cause and effect sword technique..."

He would naturally seize this opportunity. Although he had seen a lot of sword techniques in the past six months, these advanced sword techniques were not easy to comprehend, and he also had many puzzles. If there was a powerful person like the Three Pure Ones to help him solve his puzzles, it would be much better than comprehending by himself for a hundred years.

"Show me your sword skills!" said the Three Pure Ones. "Just show me how far you've come in your sword skills!"

"Yes!" Ji Xiaoshan nodded immediately.

His mind moved, and a wind-thunder sword suddenly appeared in his hand. He immediately used the wooden ruler sword technique without reservation.

Wow!
Ji Xiaoshan thrust out his sword, and suddenly the whole hall was filled with mighty sword energy. A divine dragon that seemed to be made of green jade suddenly appeared in the hall. The dragon's edge was exposed, and the terrifying sword beams hidden in it were even more powerful.

"Is this your wooden ruler sword technique?" Taoist Sanqing showed a hint of smile on his face, "The charm of your sword technique that contains a thousand methods with one sword, the way you perform it can be said to have a certain charm!"

“Is there a hint of charm?” Ji Xiaoshan nodded. “I didn’t have any profound sword manuals to guide me before, so I could only guess blindly. Later, I saw the sword marks left by Master in the North Sea, and then I felt better…”

"Yes." The Three Pure Ones nodded, "Show me your causal swordsmanship!"

"Yes!" Ji Xiaoshan smiled slightly.

As soon as he thought about it, all the strange images in the hall disappeared without a trace, leaving only a very simple sword. When the sword was drawn, time and space were silent.

Wow!
His extremely plain sword suddenly changed. As the sword thrust out, dense invisible threads suddenly appeared in the area of ​​dozens of feet. The threads crisscrossed and formed a huge net that was invisible to the naked eye...

“This should be the second move of your causal sword technique! It already has a rudimentary shape…” The Three Pure Ones nodded slightly, and he said, “Your sword can also be like this…”

Immediately afterwards, the Three Pure Ones pointed out.

sigh~~

Suddenly, countless silk threads appeared in the entire hall, interweaving one by one, and in an instant, it seemed as if they had woven a large net layered over another... The large nets were interwoven in all directions, like a dragnet...

The Three Pure Ones said, "When this sword technique is performed in this way, it directly uses the Dao of Cause and Effect and the Dao of Sword to build a web of heaven and earth. The Dao of Cause and Effect is inherently intertwined and even entangled. Once you get involved, it's like being trapped in a web, getting deeper and deeper. You can only use eight out of ten points of your strength, or even less."

"Net...net of heaven and earth..." Ji Xiaoshan's eyes were bright as he looked at the countless large nets intertwined within the hall, seemingly thinking about something.

……

It took the Three Pure Ones three full days for the Taoists to give instructions. Only after three days did the Taoists' instructions come to an end.

"I have already explained to you all the secrets of swordsmanship that you have comprehended. There are some good points in your swordsmanship. If you continue to study it, your strength will be greatly improved. It will also be easier for you to survive the heavenly tribulation in the future."

"Yes!" Ji Xiaoshan nodded respectfully.

The guidance of the Three Pure Ones helped him surpass the ten years of his slow study. With the guidance of the Three Pure Ones, he was able to perfect the second form of the Karma Sword Technique in a very short time, and even the seventh form of the Wooden Ruler Sword Technique was not created in the past two years.

"The more Daos you comprehend on this path of swordsmanship, the deeper you go on each path, and the stronger your swordsmanship will be. You still have a long way to go." The Three Pure Ones Taoist Patriarch smiled, "And the Dao of Cause and Effect is the most complex and difficult one among the three thousand great ways. If you want to completely combine it with the Dao of Sword, it will be even more difficult."

Ji Xiaoshan looked at the Three Pure Ones and said in a deep voice, "Disciple knows. However, if disciple wants to survive the heavenly tribulation, he needs to do his best to improve his strength. Even if it is difficult, he must keep going!"

"Yes! Indeed, you need such determination. The powerful people in the Three Realms all have perseverance and persistence to slowly find a smooth path among countless tortuous roads. Without such great perseverance and persistence, there would be no prosperous Three Realms today." The Three Pure Ones nodded, and he looked at Ji Xiaoshan and smiled. "Every year in my Taoist sect, there will be a sermon by a god or immortal, and every few years there will be at least one Taoist ancestor who will preach. You can go and listen to these directly by spending some good deeds."

"Yes!" Ji Xiaoshan nodded.

The Taoist Master Sanqing continued, "Every time I accept a new disciple, I will give him some guidance every once in a while, and the same is true for you. This time I asked Mingyue Tong'er to call you here for this matter. From now on, you should come to see me every six months!"

"Once every six months?" Ji Xiaoshan was delighted and bowed respectfully. "Thank you, Master."

How precious is the personal guidance of a Dao Ancestor, let alone a Dao Ancestor who stands at the top of the entire Three Realms. Such opportunities are naturally more, the better.

Moreover, once every six months was enough for Ji Xiaoshan. After all, it takes time for a cultivator to accumulate. After accumulating and settling down, it would be easier to achieve twice the result with half the effort if he had the guidance of a powerful person.
