The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 189: The Land of the Void (Freedom is a Good Thing)
In heaven, on a floating fairy island.

Quiet room.

A woman in purple robe lit a stick of incense, and immediately the fragrance filled the entire quiet room. The woman slowly closed her eyes and fell into a dream.

In a dream.

This is an extremely vast dark space. In the center of this world, there is a throne that is ten thousand feet in size floating. And on this land, a woman in purple robes appeared.

"God King, Zizhu requests to see you." The Immortal Zizhu called out respectfully.

Suddenly, a towering figure appeared on the huge throne in the air. He was shrouded in a black robe, and his eyes were full of mist. Those misty eyes seemed to be able to communicate directly with people's souls.

He looked down at the Immortal Zizhu below calmly, causing the Immortal Zizhu to tremble involuntarily.

"What's the matter?"

The figure sitting on the thousand-foot throne tapped the armrest lightly, and the rumbling sound echoed throughout the dark space.

"God King. I have been ordered to hide for countless years. Now, some changes have occurred in the extreme north of the heaven, causing the Taoists and Buddhists to make moves..." The Purple Pearl Immortal said respectfully, "These major forces in the Nuwa camp have made significant moves. I am worried that this change will affect God King's plan for the heaven, so I have reported this matter to God King. Please make the decision."

"Taoism... Buddhism... It's Xiaoyao Tianzun and Donglai Buddha who are taking action." The black-robed God King sitting on the thousand-foot throne tapped the armrest lightly and remained silent.

"There is also the Heavenly Court. The God of Flowing Sand has transferred ten top celestial beings, three thousand celestial beings, and one hundred thousand earthly immortals from the Tianhe camp." The Immortal Zizhu said respectfully.

"The major forces of Nuwa's camp have all set up their positions in the Far North." The black-robed God King pondered for a moment, "Could it be... that another treasure will be born in the Far North? Or maybe the few True Gods and Taoists who entered the vortex after the ancient shattering will come back before my Wuxian Sect launches a war..."

The black-robed God King tapped the armrest lightly and paused. "Your information is very timely. It seems that the big forces in Nuwa's camp have some intentions. After the ancient shattering, an extremely precious treasure was born in the extreme north of the heaven. For this reason, several powerful people at the level of True God and Dao Ancestor directly drilled into this void vortex, trying to trace the source, but they have never returned... No matter which situation it is, it is a variable for us."

"Rare treasure?" Immortal Zizhu held his breath.

She had long known that this extreme northern land of the heavens was somewhat mysterious. She also knew that several true gods and Taoist ancestors had stepped into that vortex over endless years. However, she had never imagined that a legendary chaos treasure would appear in this void vortex.

The innate spiritual treasure is already extremely precious to a Pure Yang True Immortal like her, not to mention the chaos treasure which is even more powerful than the innate spiritual treasure.

“A small heaven has sent out all these forces. It seems they are determined to win.” The black-robed God King stopped knocking on the armrest. In the vast dark world, the rumbling sounds of "dong", "dong", and "dong" suddenly stopped.

"But my Wuxian Sect is not fully prepared yet. If we rashly start a war in such an extremely important world as the Heaven Realm, it will be easy to trigger a decisive battle in advance..."

Immortal Zizhu listened carefully.

“But if there is any treasure, we can’t let the people in Nuwa’s camp get it easily.” The black-robed God King looked down at the Purple Pearl Immortal below, his eyes filled with endless mist were extremely deep. “I will let the blood snake help you when necessary. If it is impossible... I will directly throw the treasure back into the vortex.”

"It cannot be done..." Immortal Zizhu was shocked.

The entire heaven has Taoism, Buddhism, and the Heavenly Court, which are the main forces of Nuwa. If a treasure is born, she and the Blood Snake God will be helpless under such circumstances... The only way is to sacrifice themselves and jump into the vortex of the void with the treasure.

But even though she knew the hidden meaning of the black robed God King, she did not dare to resist at all. Because she was absolutely loyal to the God King, and the God King was omniscient and omnipotent... If she dared to betray him, the God King would know it immediately, and her fate would be extremely miserable.

"Yes." Zizhu Zhenxian responded respectfully, and then disappeared out of thin air.

The only one left in the dark world was the black-robed God King sitting on the empty throne. He still tapped the armrests and murmured, "This heaven is really a good place... I don't know what will happen next... But if there is a Chaos Treasure, there will be another variable comparable to the leader level..."

……

"This is the far north, the edge of the heaven!" Ji Xiaoshan looked at the endless depths of the void in front of him in shock.

There was a huge silver-white vortex in front of them, with circles of black patterns like ink in the vortex. Some floating broken star stones were spit out from the center of the vortex, and then fell directly into the distance like a meteor.

Suddenly, the immortal cultivators who were guarding the surrounding void and staring at the vortex in the void turned into streams of light and chased after the broken star stones.

"This is the void vortex that drives countless immortal cultivators crazy." Hua Qing Immortal also looked at the void vortex and said softly, "Look at those Yuanshen Taoists and earth immortals who are fighting for the star stones. Even though they know that the chance of these broken star stones containing magic weapons is slim, they are still afraid of falling behind. Everyone wants to fight for that opportunity, but even if we are the direct descendants of the Taoist sect, with this strength, we are still just cannon fodder."

Ji Xiaoshan was silent. If he had not been able to become a disciple of the Three Pure Ones by chance and enjoy the opportunities of the Taoist sect, he might have also tried his best for a chance like these immortal cultivators.

"But if these immortal cultivators are lucky, they can still pick up some treasures." Hua Qing Immortal smiled and transmitted his voice, "I heard the uncles guarding the Purple Qi Eastward Pavilion mentioned it before. This void vortex once flowed out a piece of bones, which was luckily found by Yuanshen Taoist from Yifeng Forbidden Island among countless broken star stones."

"The skeleton is as crystal clear as white jade. The hardness of the skeleton itself is comparable to that of a top-grade immortal-level magic weapon. The uncles reported it immediately, and the powerful people in the sect later determined that it was the skeleton of a powerful person. There is a high possibility that there are powerful treasures in this vortex, just like this piece of skeleton, which will enter the heaven along the vortex of the void..."

"A piece of white jade skeleton..." Ji Xiaoshan's heart moved. This was the first time he heard this news. The memories of his previous life flashed through his mind one by one.

Ji Xiaoshan thought to himself, "The entire Three Realms is located at the edge of a very secluded place, and there are dangers everywhere nearby. There is only an extremely unstable space passage that can barely pass through. Those alien cultivators who came to the Three Realms only came by chance. If they did not have the strength of the Lord of Life and Death, it would be extremely difficult to reach the Three Realms..."

"Now, this void vortex connecting to the heavens has spit out a piece of white bones that is as hard as a fairy-grade magic weapon... Could it be that the bones of a powerful person were left behind by chance, drifting through the endless chaotic void to the vicinity of the Three Realms. Then, they were directly swallowed by this void vortex and came to the Three Realms?"

Ji Xiaoshan had to think so, after all, there were all kinds of things in the chaotic universe. Those with good fortune and luck could just wander around the chaos near the Three Realms, and there would be magic weapons floating around them.

Not to mention those who lived far away, just the ancestor of the Shao Yan clan, the Duchou Tianxian, received an innate spiritual treasure that flew directly to him in the ancient Pangu world.

There is also the world prison of the Lord of Jiufang Kingdom. It is one of the few great opportunities in the Three Realms. It also floated over from the chaos and was obtained by the Poisonous and Ugly Immortal by chance.

“But a piece of bone can be so mysterious… Who is that powerful person? True God? Ancestral God? Or World God?” Ji Xiaoshan pondered in his heart, and then shook his head. “Even if the World God’s skeleton has not cultivated the body protection magic, the hardness of the skeleton cannot be comparable to that of a fairy-level top-grade magic weapon, and it is not something that a Taoist priest can easily obtain.”

……

"Master Uncle Qingping." Immortal Huaqing's voice suddenly rang out beside Ji Xiaoshan's ears, "Here come the heavenly soldiers and generals from the Heavenly Palace!"

"Hmm?" Ji Xiaoshan looked up in the direction where Immortal Huaqing was looking, and immediately saw a dense army of immortal cultivators flying over.

In front of the army of immortal cultivators, there was a strong man with a divine aura leading the way. He was a big man with a grey beard wearing armor, and behind him were three great heavenly generals wearing golden armor. Behind the great heavenly generals were three thousand silver-armored heavenly generals and a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers at the level of earthly immortals and scattered immortals.

"The big man with gray beard in the lead is the famous Quicksand God in Heaven. And these heavenly soldiers and generals behind him...looking at the patterns on their armor, they should be the elite among the heavenly soldiers and generals in Heaven, the Tianhe Navy." Immortal Huaqing swept his eyes over the heavenly soldiers and generals and introduced them in voice transmission.

Hua Qingxian knew his great-uncle a little bit. His great-uncle had been in the heaven for less than 30 years, and had stayed in the Eastern Heavenly Dao Sect almost all of his life. He certainly didn't know the great and small forces in the heaven as clearly and thoroughly as he did.

Of course, he was not just doing this because of his uncle status. For cultivators, strength is everything. He also sincerely admired Ji Xiaoshan's strength. He was able to defeat a ninth-level puppet in less than 20 years, which was rare in the entire Taoist sect, not to mention that he defeated a ninth-level puppet more than ten times in the end.

"Yes." Ji Xiaoshan nodded gently. There were many gods and immortals in the heavens, and he had not lived in the heavens for countless years like Hua Qingxian. The only immortal cultivator in the heavens knew about General Liusha, and they had only seen the watermarked portrait of General Liusha.

General Liusha swept his eyes across the groups of cultivators, big and small, near the vortex in the void, with a look of great majesty. He paused for a moment after sweeping over Ji Xiaoshan and the other two, then withdrew his gaze and looked for an empty place.

Wow!
General Liusha threw his hand, and a palm-sized magic weapon in the shape of a military camp suddenly floated in the void. The magic weapon suddenly expanded in an instant and became a thousand miles in size.

"The navy." General Liusha turned around and looked down at the group of heavenly soldiers and generals in front of him and said in a deep voice, "We are ordered by the Emperor of Heaven to suppress the rogues in this far north. You all return to the camp in an organized manner and be ready to fight. Don't make any mistakes!"

"Yes." More than a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals responded angrily.

……

"Among so many gods and immortals, only the divine generals from heaven gave us a warning as soon as they arrived. They are not as weak and incompetent as reported by those in other big worlds." Ji Xiaoshan said with a smile through voice transmission.

"The Heavenly Court is still the Lord of the Three Realms in name. We, the Taoists and Buddhists, have to give him some face for the sake of the Lord of the Three Realms. However, this Heavenly Emperor is a powerful man who is famous in the Three Realms. He is very powerful. He has many gods and immortals under his command, so he is naturally more powerful." Hua Qing Immortal also smiled and transmitted his voice. "But we, the Taoists, just don't want to publicize it. If our Taoist disciples take action, there will be no time for the Heavenly Court to show its majesty."

"That's right." Ji Xiaoshan immediately laughed, "But Immortal Duxu asked you to wait here, and now even the heavenly soldiers and generals from the heavenly court have arrived, but my Taoist disciples have not come!"
