The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 207: Strange Method
Inside the cave magic weapon.

As soon as the young man in black jade armor finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged.

"Have you any insights?" the red-robed old man asked in astonishment.

Ji Xiaoshan's insights were not false. He had gained a lot of insights from the battle in the far north of the heaven. During the eight years when I had no news from you, I had been constantly transforming these insights into a foundation for my cultivation.

Now, the Dao that a true Taoist master had realized was presented to him without reservation, and he even had some inspiration for the tenth style of the Mu Chi sword technique.

And the second threshold, or the second test, left by Taoist Hongyun, as mentioned by the spirit of the cave magic weapon, made it even easier for him to create a method that was much higher than his own realm.

After all, for him, his original body and second soul are only at the level of returning to the earthly immortal. Even if they are one realm higher, the power of the method they created can be comparable to the ultimate celestial immortal, and can barely be comparable to the true gods.

The previously perfected and perfected "Wood Ruler Sword Technique" ninth move, Slaying Demons and Seeing the Way, has already reached this standard. Ji Xiaoshan only needs to create a method and secret technique that contains the Red Cloud Avenue and can be comparable to it.

After all, a hundred years is a bit too long for him. You know, he is still waiting to accept a disciple with a hundred feet of golden light of merit, and after refining this dojo with great fortune, learn the "Eight Nine Mysterious Skills".

……

Beyond the distant void.

Ji Xiaoshan himself was also sitting cross-legged, casually in the small boat, also meditating.

Although he could not comprehend the Dao of the Three Realms in this endless void, the second soul had the same memories as his original soul, which did not prevent him from comprehending and creating the secret technique that could meet the requirements of Taoist Ancestor Hongyun.

"Creating a method is not only a test of my comprehension, but also an opportunity for me to sort out everything I have learned and integrate it completely into one." Ji Xiaoshan thought to himself, pondering over everything he had learned.

"What lies before me now is the most profound sword path and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. I have cultivated the sword path to this level, and I am only a little bit away from achieving perfection. The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth has a second soul, so it is naturally friendly to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. In addition, I have cultivated the universe in my sleeves, and the cultivation of the universe in my sleeves complements the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, allowing the two to advance in parallel."

"In addition to the Dao of Sword and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, the next is the Great Dao of Cause and Effect. The Great Dao of Cause and Effect has only just reached the level of the Great Dao Realm after practicing it until now, but the two types of cause and effect swordsmanship have the added power of the Dao of Sword and are also not weak. The last is the Great Dao of Red Cloud that I just comprehended. This Great Dao is the fundamental Great Dao of Taoist Ancestor Red Cloud. The magical escape technique created by Taoist Ancestor Red Cloud is practiced to the extreme, and it is even stronger than the golden light of the earth."

“Although I have comprehended many great ways, if I want to survive the heavenly tribulation and go further on the path of cultivation, I still have to specialize in one path in the end. The other paths are only auxiliary and are aids on the path of cultivation.”

Ji Xiaoshan thought carefully. This was the first time he had thought carefully about these things. When he was weak, he naturally learned whatever he could. The best thing was to learn something that could enhance his strength. After all, when he was weak, he had no right to be picky and choose what he could understand and what he could not.

"However, I am in the void outside the Three Realms and cannot comprehend the Dao within the Three Realms, nor can I invoke the Heavenly Dao to send down a heavenly tribulation. This is a bit troublesome. So I can only use my Second Soul to survive the heavenly tribulation first. Ji Ning was originally a disciple of Bodhi Daozu and the heir of Sanshou Daoren, so the tribulation that his Second Soul survived was the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation."

"Although he had only achieved great success in the sword art when he was overcoming the tribulation, he was able to directly exert the power of the sword without fully understanding the sword art. This is something I cannot compare to now. What's more, he also directly comprehended the power of the mind, which is ethereal but extremely powerful."

"Compared to this, even my second soul is still lacking in the ability to survive the tribulation. The second soul that remains in the Three Realms is my only hope. If I don't have enough accumulated foundation and forcibly survive the tribulation, the consequences will be..."

Ji Xiaoshan was helpless. The impact of this consequence...

He can't afford it.

……

Time passes day by day.

Ji Xiaoshan, who was sitting cross-legged in the magic weapon in the cave, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Oh? You have only been meditating for a year. Do you have the confidence to create a method that can rival the ultimate power of a celestial immortal?" The red-robed old man's eyes lit up when he saw this. Ji Xiaoshan had just said it with great confidence, so he was naturally a little curious.

After all, when the ancient world was still intact, the disciples that the Three Pure Ones accepted were all extraordinary.

As for the Immortal Qingping, he was only at the level of a Return to Earth Immortal, and he had not yet passed the heavenly tribulation, but he was directly sent to his cave by the Taoist Sanqing. This shows that the Taoist Sanqing recognized his disciple deep in his heart, and believed that he could pass the test left by his master, the Taoist Hongyun.

"No hurry." Ji Xiaoshan shook his head. "You said earlier that Taoist Red Cloud also left behind many secret techniques. I wonder where these techniques are now?"

"Those methods are right there!" The red-robed old man pointed directly to a corner of the hall and said.

In the corner of the hall, there were rows of huge bookshelves. Ji Xiaoshan took a quick glance and found that there were hundreds of bookshelves, each of which was huge, and each of them contained tens of thousands of heavy books.

"Huh? So many? Are they all collected by Taoist Ancestor Hongyun?" Ji Xiaoshan was stunned. He stood up directly, with wisps of red mist floating above his body. He took a step and appeared directly in front of a bookshelf.

The old man in red robe looked at the rows of bookshelves in front of Ji Xiaoshan, and an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.

"What is this?" Ji Xiaoshan picked up a book casually, but found that the characters were not the extremely familiar divine and demonic characters commonly used by the powerful people in the Three Realms, but a kind of characters that Ji Xiaoshan had never seen before.

Although he had never seen this text before, he could directly know the information on the page that Ji Xiaoshan opened in the book with just one glance.

"Hmm? Is it a human-level Qi training method? But this training method... is quite interesting." Ji Xiaoshan smiled and flipped through the pages of the methods in front of him, looking at them very seriously. But the more he flipped through them, the more frightened he became, and the more doubts he had in his heart.

moment.

He put down the human-level Qi training method in his hand, and then took the book next to it.

"Huh? This too?" Ji Xiaoshan looked at the unfamiliar words that were the same as the previous records of the human-level method, and then put down the book in his hand and took another one.

"This one! And this one too! They are all low-level methods, none of them are higher than the heavenly level methods!"

He flipped through the books one after another, his brows furrowed.

Although these are all low-level methods, Ji Xiaoshan, who has read hundreds of high-level methods and secret techniques in the entire Wandao Palace, would normally look down on these low-level Qi training methods, but these methods are somewhat extraordinary.

It not only contains texts that record these Qi training methods, but also various external conditions required to practice these methods.

Suddenly, the voice of the red-robed old man echoed throughout the hall. He looked at Ji Xiaoshan and said, "Qingping Immortal, I asked you to read the various methods left by the master and then create a method that can rival the ultimate of the immortals, but I didn't ask you to look through these. These can only be touched after you pass the second test."

"Spirit of magic weapon, do you know what these things are?" Ji Xiaoshan said in a deep voice as he looked at the old man in red robe.

"These are all left by my master, Daozu Hongyun. I naturally know what is recorded in these books."

The red-robed old man nodded and said, "Take a look at those first. It's meaningless to think about these things too early. At least, understanding these won't allow you to pass the second test left by the master. And only if you pass the second test will you be qualified to touch these."

"Hmm? You have to pass the second test before you can touch these?" Ji Xiaoshan frowned and asked, "Then why didn't you stop me when I was flipping through these just now?"

"You must pass the second test before you can touch these." The red-robed old man said firmly, "As for why you went directly to that bookshelf and flipped through those books, it can only be said that it was destined by fate."

"Is it God's will?" Ji Xiaoshan murmured.

Naturally, he didn't believe the nonsense told by the spirit of the magic weapon.

If you really don't want him to see these, just don't take them out. Why take them out like this?

The entire cave magic weapon is controlled by the spirit of this magic weapon, so it is naturally impossible for it to make such an obvious mistake.

"Immortal Qingping, those are what you can see now." The red-robed old man said, and with a wave of his sleeves, red clouds suddenly appeared in the entire hall.

Countless clouds filled the air, instantly covering more than twenty of the hundreds of bookshelves.

In an instant, the red mist dissipated, and more than twenty of the hundreds of bookshelves also disappeared in the hall.

"Sure enough..." Ji Xiaoshan secretly shook his head in his heart, "The purpose of this magic weapon's spirit is to throw down an attractive bait, and I was actually treated as the fish lured by the bait."

"Qing Ping Immortal, from the moment you entered this cave, you only have about ninety-eight years left to pass this second test. The Three Pure Ones asked you to come here because they wanted you to pass the test successfully and get the opportunity left by my master, Hong Yun Daozu."

“You should know that among these treasures left by my master, there are several that even the Dao Ancestor would be extremely envious of... If you can get them, your chances of surviving the heavenly tribulation will be greater.” A faint smile flashed in the eyes of the red-robed old man.

Even if the gods and immortals knew what kind of treasures his master, Taoist Red Cloud, left behind, they would not be able to remain indifferent.

The disciples of the Three Pure Ones before the Immortal Qingping all achieved enlightenment in ancient times, became gods and immortals at an early age, and survived the heavenly tribulation at an early age. Naturally, they did not meet the requirements of their master.

During these endless years, many cultivators came here, but they all failed in the end.

And if Qing Ping Immortal was not a disciple of the Three Pure Ones and had not yet survived the heavenly tribulation, such an opportunity might not have come to him in endless years.
