The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 213 Secret
"Nine-nine Soul-scattering Gourd?"

Ji Xiaoshan calmed down instantly after hearing this. He looked at the red-robed old man and said with a smile, "Senior, it seems that the third test left by Taoist Red Cloud should be quite difficult."

"Otherwise, how precious are these magic weapons? Since the ancient Pangu world was shattered, hundreds of millions of years have passed, but these test thresholds are still here. And these magic weapons are still here..."

"Yes. Over the endless years, there have indeed been many cultivators who came here. But in the end, they all failed before the third test." The red-robed old man nodded.

"The first two tests are all about your understanding, and this third test also requires you to create a method. Create a method for practicing Qi."

"Created a method of practicing Qi? Could it be possible?" Ji Xiaoshan was stunned, then reacted instantly.

If he had simply created an ordinary method of practicing Qi, it would not have been worth it for Taoist Ancestor Hongyun to die for endless years, but he still set up these tests.

Ji Xiaoshan thought about those extremely interesting low-level methods he saw during the second test, and felt thoughtful.

"Yes, it's just as you thought." The red-robed old man nodded gently, "This third test requires us to carry on the past and create a Qi training method that is far stronger than the current Qi training system in our Three Realms. And the Qi training methods you saw before were all collected by my master before the ancient Pangu world was broken. Some of them were even exchanged for treasures from some True Gods and Taoists."

"I see that these Qi training methods are different from the various Qi training methods in my Three Realms. Are these methods from foreign races that came to my Three Realms?" Ji Xiaoshan asked curiously, "But why are they all low-level Qi training methods?"

Although Ji Xiaoshan probably knew the real reason, he still wanted to confirm it.

"I do know what you are asking about. Some of them were told to me by our master Daozu Hongyun himself, and some of them are what I experienced personally." The red-robed old man said softly.

"Although these are all low-level methods, they are all that the powerful people in our three realms can obtain. Some of them were obtained by the powerful people themselves using soul-searching techniques to obtain them from the memories of low-level cultivators who have never survived the heavenly tribulation."

"And all of this started with those foreign races that accidentally came to my Three Realms!"

"In the ancient world, there was once a powerful and terrifying being called 'Rahu'. He came to the Three Realms, and the powerful men from the Three Realms fought against him. In the end, it took many powerful men to work together to kill him."

"He has some True Immortals and Celestial Immortals who practice Qi flow under his command. Although they also practice Qi flow, their strength is much stronger than those who practice Qi flow in our Three Realms. Some of them can even fight against True Gods directly with their True Immortal bodies. Even weaker True Immortals and Celestial Immortals can still fight with their more powerful magic power."

Ji Xiaoshan was lost in thought. "So the fundamental reason you mentioned is... that the Qi training methods in my Three Realms are inherently weaker than those Chaos Aliens?"

"Yes." The red-robed old man nodded.

"Both of them have gone through the heavenly tribulation, but why is the Qi training style in the Three Realms always much weaker than the God and Demon Body Training Style? A God and Demon Body Training Immortal Cultivator at the level of a Heavenly God can directly rival a True Immortal Cultivator, and a Dao Ancestor Cultivator can only have the strength of a True God?"

"At first, my master, Daozu Hongyun, simply thought that the countless gods and demons who were refining their bodies were born with nature, born and raised naturally, and were naturally powerful."

"But in ancient times, many Chaos alien races came to the Three Realms, and they discovered that some of the Celestial Immortals brought by those powerful alien races were very powerful. Some Celestial Immortals who looked ordinary could even directly compete with the True Immortals and Dao Ancestors in the Three Realms."

"Later, even though the powerful people in the Three Realms captured some powerful celestial immortals and true immortals alive, those with strong bones exploded directly, but there were still some weak-boned immortal cultivators who wanted to survive."

“But for those spineless ones, the powerful men in my Three Realms still gain nothing. As long as they use the soul-searching secret technique or interrogate these Qi training methods, it is as if they have touched upon a taboo. If they utter even half a word, they will die instantly.” The red-robed old man said.

"With nothing to gain, the powerful people could only focus their attention on the creatures in the caves brought by the Chaos Aliens. The soul-searching secret technique was used on hundreds of millions of creatures, and finally some gains were made. After countless years of accumulation, the methods you saw before were different from the Qi training methods in my Three Realms."

"I see." Ji Xiaoshan nodded, "But my Three Realms are so vast, and there are so many powerful people in the Three Realms. Is there no one who has made any achievements in this area?"

"Not even one." The old man in red robe shook his head.

"In ancient times, those powerful beings born in the chaos thought of many ways to improve their own strength."

"My master was inspired by this and wanted to improve the Qi training method in the Three Realms. But until his death, the method he created could only stop at the level of returning to the Void Earth Immortal."

"This kind of method is only slightly better than the Qi training methods created by the Dao ancestors in my Three Realms, but after practicing to the Return to Void Earth Immortal level, it is impossible to create subsequent techniques."

"The heavenly tribulations of those Qi-cultivating immortals who practice this method are far more powerful than those of ordinary Daoist disciples. They finally survived the heavenly tribulations. It is because they do not have the subsequent Heavenly Immortal Method that their strength is not much different from that of ordinary Heavenly Immortals."

"This..." Ji Xiaoshan smacked his lips.

He was completely unaware of the secrets that the red-robed old man was talking about. When he first read The Wilderness Chronicle, he felt that something was a little strange.

There are so many practitioners from the chaos who come to the Three Realms. Even though the first-class and second-class Qi training methods are precious, there is not a single practitioner who has not practiced them.

"So, in the end, the plan to create these powerful Qi training methods...failed?" Ji Xiaoshan asked curiously.

"Failed." The red-robed old man's eyes were calm, like a deep pool.

"My master is the one who has the deepest understanding of this alien race's Qi training method, but because of the great war that broke out during the ancient times, it had to be shelved in the end... until my master passed away, and there was no further progress." "So Taoist Hongyun left this last test? Is it to create a powerful Qi training method that far surpasses this Qi training method?" Ji Xiaoshan had a solemn expression.

If this is how he can complete the third test, then the difficulty is extremely great. As expected, these powerful treasures are not so easy for him, a returning god and demon who has not yet survived the heavenly tribulation, to obtain.

"This can be considered as my master's last wish. Your master, Sanqing Daozu, is a good friend of my master and also knows about this. This is one of the reasons why he asked you to come here." said the old man in red robe.

"Yeah." Ji Xiaoshan nodded.

He thought to himself, "This Qi training method has never been invented by anyone in endless years. Even if it is my turn, I guess it won't be so easy to create it. It is better to roughly refine this place first, grab everything I can get, and then make other plans."

"Besides, I am heading to the Ten Sins Island in the Hundred Industries Star Sea..."

Ji Xiaoshan turned his head and looked at the red-robed old man and said with a smile, "The task of creating a Qi training method is long and arduous, and it is a bit far away for me now. Senior, please take me to refine this cave magic weapon first."

"That's true." The red-robed old man nodded. "You are only a Return to Earth Immortal now, so it's a little early to think about these things. But if you really created this Qi training method that is far stronger than our three realms, as long as you survive the heavenly tribulation, your strength can directly reach the level of Pure Yang True Immortal, which will also be of great benefit to you."

"Yeah." Ji Xiaoshan nodded. He had also thought about this before. He even had a glimmer of hope of obtaining the Dharma outside the Three Realms.

"Qingping, come with me!" The old man in red robe looked at Ji Xiaoshan and said.

As he spoke, he walked straight through the rows of huge bookshelves and went deeper into the hall.

Ji Xiaoshan followed the red-robed old man through palaces, through a very long corridor, and came to a palace.

This palace is dotted with huge pearls that look like stars. The palace is empty except for a huge cloud bed with many crimson lines carved on it. You can vaguely see that it is a huge red cloud.

“Sit on it! This cloud bed is the magic weapon of this cave, and it is the core of this Taoist temple. As long as you refine it, you can temporarily possess the great fortune of this Taoist temple. It can also be regarded as one of the tests to achieve the Eight-Nine Profound Art.” said the old man in red robe.

Ji Xiaoshan nodded.

The spirit of this magic weapon even knows this, so it must be that the master, the Three Pure Ones, really has opened a back door just for him.

He walked directly onto the cloud bed, and then the powerful Yuan power penetrated into it and began to refine it.

……

On Jinwu Island.

Wow~~

A flash of light flashed by, and then a young man in black armor appeared in mid-air.

Ji Xiaoshan smiled and whispered softly, "The test of learning the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skills is really not easy. It took me more than ten years to complete this task. Now I have completed the first test."

"Ok?"

suddenly.

Ji Xiaoshan's mind moved, and his consciousness immediately covered the entire Jinwu Island. "This young man... is one of the human cultivators enslaved by those great evil demon kings. What is this young man doing waiting on my Jinwu Island?"

"But... there is actually some cause and effect between him and me?"

Wow~~~
Ji Xiaoshan took a step forward and came directly to the sky. However, the black-robed young man sitting cross-legged on a magic ship was still unaware.

He looked down at the black-haired young man in a black robe, seeing the thread of cause and effect that connected them. From the outside, nothing seemed special.

Ji Xiaoshan's spiritual sense instantly enveloped the black-robed boy and he said directly, "Boy, are you waiting for me outside my Jinwu Island?"

"Hmm?" The young man in black robe who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed suddenly looked up, with a light flashing in his eyes.

"Fairy!"
