The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 188 All parties make moves
In the quiet room, Immortal Huaqing had already left, leaving only Ji Xiaoshan sitting cross-legged on the cushion.

Ji Xiaoshan thought to himself, "Just now, Immortal Cai Qing said that this enlightenment tea will only be effective if consumed once every hundred years. The undercurrents in the Three Realms are turbulent, and it is difficult to predict how the situation will change after a hundred years. Moreover, in the next hundred years... this enlightenment tea may not be useful to me."

An idea suddenly occurred to him, and he simply picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

Drink the enlightenment tea.

Wow~~~
Suddenly, an extreme feeling of coolness surged into the depths of the soul in an instant, followed by a faint coolness that directly permeated every part of the body, and the soul and spirit felt an unprecedented comfort.

In this comfortable state, when Ji Xiaoshan tried to comprehend the way of the sword...instantly, inspiration came to his mind like a spring, and all kinds of inspiration suddenly floated into his mind.

"The effect of this enlightenment tea... is really extraordinary." Ji Xiaoshan gently stroked the teacup in his hand, surprised, "Even though there are many restrictions, it is of great help to me... Then I will comprehend the swordsmanship! I only have a rudimentary form of the ninth form of the Mu Chi swordsmanship. If I can improve it a little, I will be much more confident in the future..."

There was a hint of expectation in Ji Xiaoshan's eyes, and then he closed his eyes.

One day.

two days.

Three days.

……

Wow~~~
On the seventh day after Ji Xiaoshan sat cross-legged, in the quiet room, strands of sword energy appeared out of thin air around him.

Wow!
Wow! Wow!
I saw more and more sword energy around Ji Xiaoshan, and countless sword energy gathered around him. Those sword energy intertwined and entangled with each other, becoming extremely condensed, and finally formed an extremely dark fairy sword that emitted infinite sword light.

"Kill!" Ji Xiaoshan suddenly opened his eyes, and a flash of sword light flashed in his eyes. He put his two fingers together to make a sword finger, and swung the sword finger diagonally.

Suddenly.

The dark immortal sword formed by countless sword qi slashed out directly.

Crash~~
The immortal sword cut through the space, and the entire quiet room was left with only this dark and deep sword, which seemed to be able to swallow all the light.

The ninth move of Mu Chi swordsmanship - slay the devil and see the truth!
boom!
With a slash of the sword, the dark immortal sword that was condensed from countless sword beams suddenly dissipated and turned into nothingness.

“It’s still a little difficult to perform this ninth move ‘Demon Slaying and Enlightenment’, but it’s much better than before. At least I can use this sword directly.” Ji Xiaoshan nodded gently, “This sword technique can be further improved, and it can also increase the power of this move a lot…”

At the very beginning, his swordsmanship was derived from the Nine Chapters of the Ruler Method and Wooden Ruler. Now, with reference to the Tao evolved by the Three Pure Ones and more than two hundred precious techniques and secrets of the Wandao Palace, this wooden ruler swordsmanship has long since walked out of its own path, and he understands how far he has come.

If he could fully comprehend the ninth move, or even the tenth move, the path of swordsmanship would almost reach the bottleneck.

It is not difficult to reach the bottleneck, but it is difficult to break through the bottleneck and achieve perfection in swordsmanship directly.

You must know that Ji Ning studied Taoism in Fangcun Mountain and comprehended countless sword techniques. When he returned to the Daxia world, his sword skills were only at the level of the ninth style of "Three-foot Sword".

The immortal Beixing who created the "Three-foot Sword" was only a wandering immortal of one million years old. This level of swordsmanship was only the fourth level in the Taoist Wandao Palace. Swordsmanship like this had been accumulated by the entire Wandao Palace for endless years.

Ji Xiaoshan's "Nine Chapters of the Wooden Ruler" is much more advanced than "Three-foot Sword", at least the seventh level. After more than 20 years of studying hundreds of sword manuals, Ji Xiaoshan determined that this method was at least created by a strong man at the level of Pure Yang True Immortal, and there is even a slight possibility that it was written by a powerful person at the level of Daozu.

Even if it was just a casual handwriting, it contained extremely mysterious and profound swordsmanship. He was now just a step away from fully understanding this swordsmanship that was comparable to the ninth style of the Rule Method. His progress in the way of the sword was extremely profound.

“But now I can barely use the ninth move of the Mu Chi sword technique, and the power of my swordsmanship has been greatly improved. In this way, even if I meet a top immortal like Bai Shi Tianxian, I can be sure to kill him directly. Now that my strength has greatly increased, all I have to do next is wait for the opportunity!” Ji Xiaoshan showed a faint smile on his face.

He did not forget that the purpose of coming out of the Taoist sect was to satisfy the test of the Eight-Nine Profound Arts, and the vortex in the void had some changes, so the chances of completing those harsh tests were greater.

……

After Ji Xiaoshan realized the truth, he continued to practice for more than a month before leaving the quiet room. As soon as he came out, he saw Huaqing Immortal drinking wine in the hall of the pavilion.

"Uncle-master, I wonder what the effect of the enlightenment tea is?" Immortal Huaqing immediately stood up and said with a smile.

"It is indeed extremely mysterious." Ji Xiaoshan said with a smile, "Within an hour of drinking this tea, I felt as if I had been enlightened, and countless inspirations came to me..."

Immortal Hua Qing looked at Ji Xiaoshan and smiled, "This kind of sudden enlightenment is something that we cultivators of our generation can only encounter but not seek, but this enlightenment tea can force cultivators to fall into a state similar to sudden enlightenment, so naturally the effect is extraordinary."

He would drink it once every hundred years. Although drinking this tea could only help one attain enlightenment for an hour, the effect was extremely significant, and he himself was one who had experienced it deeply.

"Hmm." Ji Xiaoshan nodded slightly, and he asked curiously, "I have been in seclusion for these days. I wonder if there have been any changes in this Void Fairy Island? Or has there been any unusual movements in the Void Vortex? I just came out of the quiet room, and I didn't run into a single cultivator!" "The Void Vortex has not moved, but there are more ownerless treasures floating around the vortex. Although they are only some of the more precious treasures in the Three Realms and there are very few magic weapons...but they have directly increased the number of cultivators in the entire Void Fairy Island by several times." Hua Qing Immortal's face was a little solemn when he talked about this matter, "But Uncle Shoudu has passed down the Taoist decree, and we have been prepared. Even those cultivators who come to my Ziqi Donglai Pavilion for fame will no longer be received...If there is any unusual movement, it must be in the near future!"

"My sect has also issued a decree?" Ji Xiaoshan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked curiously, "I wonder which great master in my sect issued the decree?"

There are many powerful people in Taoism. In addition to the Three Pure Ones as the leader, there are also Xiaoyao Tianzun, Chongxu Daozu who wrote the Chongxu Sutra, etc. Even among the disciples of the Three Pure Ones, there are several powerful people.

"It is the decree from the Taoist Patriarch Xiaoyao!" Immortal Huaqing was full of reverence when he mentioned Taoist Patriarch Xiaoyao.

“Daozu Xiaoyao…” Ji Xiaoshan thought to himself, “Daozu Xiaoyao’s status in the Dao sect is second only to that of Master Sanqing Daozu. If this is a decree from him… there must be something else going on.”

……

Inside a magnificent palace, 108 huge purple-gold columns with coiled dragons supported the dome of the palace. Under the dome was a high imperial throne, and on the throne was a majestic and solemn emperor wearing a golden robe and a crown.

"Someone come here!" said the golden-robed emperor wearing a crown.

"Your Majesty." A tall and thin waiter with a white beard quickly walked to the center of the hall and bowed in response.

The golden-robed emperor raised his eyes and looked down and said calmly, "Go and call General Liusha to Lingxiao Palace!"

"Yes!" the waiter said respectfully.

moment.

A big man with a grey beard and wearing azure armor came into the hall with the waiter.

"Your Majesty!" the bearded man said respectfully.

"Liusha. There are frequent disturbances in the extreme north of the heavenly world. Taoist Xiaoyao Daozu has issued a decree, ordering his disciples to be on guard. The major forces in the northern heavenly world are even more restless. I believe that Buddhism will also start a war soon..." The golden-robed emperor looked at General Liusha below and said in a deep voice, "My Heavenly Court is the co-lord recognized by the three realms, and the master of this heavenly world. Naturally, the turmoil in the extreme north cannot be dealt with without the presence of my Heavenly Court. You can go there for me!"

"Is it just me?" General Liusha looked troubled.

General Liusha was not unfamiliar with the Far North. If there were any unusual movements in the Taoist and Buddhist sects, the cultivators that the restless northern forces could mobilize would not be much weaker, and they might even come out in full force. He was only a god of the sky, and he could not suppress so many forces.

"Of course I won't let you go alone." The golden-robed emperor said in a deep voice.

As he spoke, he flipped his hand and a golden token engraved with countless mysterious runes suddenly appeared in the air.

call!
The golden talisman was wrapped in rich magic power and flew directly in front of General Liusha.

"This is a token for mobilizing troops!" General Liusha was surprised and raised his hand to grab the golden token.

"General Liusha, listen to my orders!" said the golden-robed emperor in a deep voice.

"I'm here!" General Liusha immediately clasped his fists and said respectfully.

"I allow you to mobilize 100,000 heavenly soldiers, 3,000 heavenly generals, and ten great heavenly generals. Under the order of my Heavenly Court, set off immediately to the chaotic area in the Far North to suppress lawlessness and maintain the prestige of my Heavenly Court!" said the golden-robed emperor in a deep voice.

"Follow the order of Heaven!" said General Liusha in a deep voice.

……

"The Dao sect has moved, and so has the Heavenly Palace." Inside a magnificent hall, a big-bellied Buddha sitting on a lotus throne murmured, "Now the undercurrents in the Three Realms are surging, and with the gathering of luck, who knows, some extraordinary treasure will be born in the void in the far north... Although countless years ago, the powerful people in the Three Realms made an agreement not to cause internal strife, but under this catastrophe, various forces have made their moves, and even I dare not say that I can protect myself, but this treasure born in the void... who knows, this little extra luck can keep my Buddhism safe and sound."

"This grand event... as long as powerful people like us don't take action, it won't be hindered at all."

The big-bellied Buddha's heart knot suddenly untied, and a smile appeared on his face again. He immediately shouted, "Tong'er!"

"Buddha!" ​​A bald little monk walked into the hall upon hearing the voice.

"Go and ask the Subduing Tiger Arhat to come over!" The big-bellied Buddha smiled.

"Yes!"
