The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 217 Skeletons in the Void
"Uncle Qingping!"

"Grandmaster Qingping!"

"Qing Ping Immortal..."

Ji Xiaoshan and Nan Shuiyue flew over the Eastern Heaven. All the Taoist disciples they met along the way were extremely respectful to them.

“All of these immortal cultivators who are respectfully saluting the master… those who are even more powerful than the Flame God and Demon are as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river, yet they are all so respectful…”

Nan Shuiyue looked on in a daze, watching the cultivators with extremely powerful auras bow respectfully to Ji Xiaoshan one by one. Some of them even exuded an aura more terrifying than that of her master.

"Legend has it that after Master won first place in the Immortal Fate Conference, he followed a powerful man to become a disciple of a Taoist ancestor. It seems that there is more to it than that... Even if Master is a powerful person at the level of a Taoist ancestor, strength is respected by cultivators. These past cultivators should not all have such heartfelt respect." Nan Shuiyue felt puzzled.

But before she could think more, Ji Xiaoshan took her to stop in front of an extremely magnificent hall.

Ji Xiaoshan turned his head and looked at Nan Shuiyue and said with a smile, "Xiaoyue, this huge palace is the Good Merit Palace. This Good Merit Palace is one of the three most core palaces in my entire Taoist sect... If you want to earn good merit in the future, you will definitely need to come here."

"The Hall of Good Deeds?" Nan Shuiyue was confused and just followed Ji Xiaoshan step by step.

"Uncle Master Qingping!" A red-robed Immortal immediately came up to greet him with a smile, "I heard that Uncle Master went back to the Great Xia World before, and he's back again after only a few years?"

"Hmm?" The Fire Spirit Immortal's eyes immediately fell on Nan Shuiyue. "This girl is really beautiful, and she is also a person of merit... I guess she must be the new disciple accepted by Master Uncle?"

The True Immortal Fire Spirit knew that Ji Xiaoshan had chosen the magical power "Eight-Nine Profound Art" on the tenth floor of the Wandao Palace, and naturally knew about the test. Today, when he saw Ji Xiaoshan leading a little kid with great merits, he had some guesses in his mind.

"Yes." Ji Xiaoshan nodded, he turned to look at Nan Shuiyue and said with a smile, "Xiaoyue, this is your Fire Spirit Senior Sister. Your Fire Spirit Senior Sister is a Pure Yang True Immortal, and is responsible for all matters big and small in the Good Merit Hall. If you need anything, you can ask your Fire Spirit Senior Sister for help."

"Pure Yang Immortal?" Nan Shuiyue was a little confused. She sensed the extremely peaceful aura of Fire Spirit Immortal and thought to herself, "Is this senior sister a Pure Yang Immortal? It is said that in the entire Great Xia world, only Emperor Xia is the legendary Pure Yang Immortal. Is this my senior sister?"

Nan Shuiyue immediately said respectfully, "Greetings to Senior Sister Huo Ling!"

"Well, Junior Sister." Fire Spirit Immortal nodded and smiled, "I have been in the Dao Sect for quite a while, and I know a lot. If Junior Sister encounters any difficulties in the Dao Sect, you can come to me."

"Yes." Nan Shuiyue responded respectfully.

"Junior Brother Huo Ling, please get an identity jade talisman for my disciple." Ji Xiaoshan said.

He brought Nan Shuiyue to the Good Merit Hall first for this purpose. After all, the entire Taoist sect would be unable to move forward without the talisman.

"Yes. Okay." Fire Spirit Immortal nodded.

……

"What a coincidence." Ji Xiaoshan took Nan Shuiyue to look at the floating fairy island where Wandao Palace was located and smiled slightly.

He turned his head and looked at Nan Shuiyue beside him and said with a smile, "Xiaoyue, the nine-story hall in the distance is the Wandao Palace of my Taoist sect. If you want to learn all the secret techniques, you can learn them directly through good deeds. But the Dharma should not be taken lightly. You need to make your own choices on which techniques to choose and which ones not to choose."

"My spirit beast Wangtian is in front of the Wandao Palace. Let him accompany you to get familiar with everything in my Taoist sect. If you have any questions, come and find me."

"Yes!" Nan Shuiyue nodded.

Whoosh!
At this moment, an extremely majestic divine beast flew over from in front of Wandao Palace with a whoosh.

"Brother."

"Wangtian." Ji Xiaoshan nodded slightly. He looked at Wangtian Shenhu and smiled, "This is Xiaoyue, my new disciple. You can take her around. I have something important to do and need to find a master."

"A disciple accepted by you, elder brother?" Wangtian Shenhu was stunned for a moment, then said, "You can go ahead, elder brother."

Wow~~~
Ji Xiaoshan nodded, his figure flashed, and he disappeared from the spot instantly.

……

In the Eight Views Palace.

"Master." Ji Xiaoshan looked up at the Three Pure Ones Taoists who were sitting on a bright yellow cushion and said respectfully.

"Yes." Sanqing Daozu nodded gently, with a smile on his face. "My good friend Hongyun Daozu was very stubborn. Even at the moment of his death countless years ago, he still cared about improving the Qi training method of my Three Realms. Now that you have inherited his cave, you have inherited his will. If you have the opportunity to create an extraordinary Qi training method, it will be a great blessing for you and my entire Three Realms."

“Yes.” Ji Xiaoshan nodded. “My disciple has not yet passed the heavenly tribulation. If this method is really created by my disciple, it will not only have a huge effect on me. If it allows countless Returning to the Void Earth Immortals to break through, it will be equivalent to my Nuwa camp gaining countless True Immortals in one go…”

"Ah."

The Three Pure Ones said, "Qingping, since you have completed the test of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts, no one can criticize you. Come forward."

"Yes." Ji Xiaoshan's heart skipped a beat and he immediately walked forward.

Wow~~~
The Three Pure Ones raised their hand and pointed a finger at the center of Ji Xiaoshan's eyebrows.

Rumble!
Suddenly, Ji Xiaoshan felt that a large amount of mysterious information in his sea of ​​consciousness was pouring into his sea of ​​consciousness like a spring.

Ji Xiaoshan simply closed his eyes.

……

Across the sea of ​​stars.

In the void star sea where endless void tides converge, there is a young man in blue flying slowly and cautiously.

Suddenly, an invisible "wave" swept up without warning.

In the wind and waves, there were pieces of gray-white space debris. Pieces of space debris exuding a destructive aura collided wildly in the wind and waves.

Among those space debris, the big ones were several miles in size, like small islands floating in the void. The smaller ones were also dozens of feet in size, seemingly insignificant, but also contained immeasurable dangers. Every collision erupted with powerful force, and the collision formed a series of terrifying invisible strangling forces.

"Hmm?" Ji Xiaoshan looked from a distance, his expression suddenly changed, "Not good, the aftermath of the collision and shattering of those space fragments..." He saw the aftermath of the collision spreading around at a very fast speed.

Ji Xiaoshan's mind moved, and wisps of light red mist suddenly spread around his body. His figure turned into a streak of light, and he retreated frantically, avoiding the aftermath before it arrived.

After a long time, the 'storm' finally subsided.

“No wonder in the Golden Horn Star Region, ordinary cultivators are unwilling to come into this sea of ​​stars. When flying in this sea of ​​stars, if you are unlucky, you will suddenly encounter this void tide when you get close…” Ji Xiaoshan shook his head secretly in his heart.

He was lucky to have discovered the void tide early. If he hadn't discovered it in time, he would have been swept into the void by the collision and shattering of countless space fragments...

Even if an ancestor god or ancestor immortal came here, he would not be able to get away with it. The consequences would be, at the very least, being sucked into the unknown space debris and sinking into the depths of the void with the space debris. At the worst, he would be killed on the spot and annihilated by the endless strangling force.

"But if we fly so slowly, it will take at least half a year to reach the Ten Sins Island... But if we take a risk..." Ji Xiaoshan shook his head helplessly, "Well, let's just fly slowly. At least it's safer."

If it were in the Three Realms, in the Great Xia World, even if flying slowly over a distance of several million miles, it would take at most a cup of tea to fly back and forth. If Ji Xiaoshan used the Nine Heavens Crimson Cloud Escape Technique with all his strength, it would only take a few breaths to go back and forth.

But if you are in this vast sea of ​​stars, it’s not just the distance that’s a problem, there are also countless sudden dangers.

Ji Xiaoshan had just flown carefully for most of the day, and finally flew over 100,000 miles, but in the blink of an eye, a void tide suddenly appeared, so he naturally had to stay away from it.

This evasion requires retreating at least tens of thousands of miles. The farther away, the safer it is. However, with this back and forth movement, the speed cannot be increased at all.

“If I obtain the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art, my divine body will still not be able to withstand the aftermath of the shattering of space debris. But at least if I encounter some small problems, I can directly wade through them. I can also risk rushing through things that I had to avoid in the past…” Ji Xiaoshan was thinking a lot, “But I have already accepted Xiaoyue as my disciple, so I will be close to obtaining the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art…”

suddenly.

From the distant chaotic void, a tremendous amount of information surged.

"This is..." Countless mysterious information emerged out of thin air from the depths of Ji Xiaoshan's sea of ​​consciousness. After he gained a brief understanding, a hint of joy suddenly appeared on his face.

"This is... the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill passed down by our master!"

The Eight-Nine Profound Art is the number one method under the Three Realms True Gods. A complete magical power contains so much information. Even though Ji Xiaoshan's soul is powerful and his second soul was the first to remember it in his sea of ​​consciousness, it still took several breaths for him to completely receive all the methods in his memory.

At the same time, countless mysterious information in the sea of ​​consciousness gathered together to form a complex and mysterious method.

Ji Xiaoshan smiled, "I finally got the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill!"

……

Time passed day by day, and half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

Ji Xiaoshan was not only flying slowly and carefully in the endless void sea of ​​​​the Baiye Star Sea, but also devoted some of his mind to practicing the Eight-Nine Profound Art.

I saw a layer of hazy golden light gradually appearing on the surface of Ji Xiaoshan who was flying in the void. The golden light was very faint, but gradually became thicker.

suddenly.

"Change!" Ji Xiaoshan said softly.

Wow~~~
Suddenly, a huge rock appeared in the void. Apart from its larger size, the rock looked completely ordinary. It seemed to be just an ordinary stone scattered from the stars, floating quietly in the void.

"Change again!"

With another "whoosh" sound, the boulder floating in the air suddenly disappeared and turned into a speck of dust. Ji Xiaoshan's entire aura dissipated in an instant.

moment.

In the void, the floating dust turned back into Ji Xiaoshan's original appearance.

"Well, after mastering these seventy-two transformations, I can be considered to have mastered the Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts. Next, I can start to improve the strength of my divine body."

If one wants to practice the Eight-Nine Profound Art, one must learn the basics, and the basics of the Eight-Nine Profound Art are the seventy-two transformations.

However, the 72 changes of entry level were useless to Ji Xiaoshan, who was outside the Three Realms. After all, this magical power could not change the aura of the true spirit. Outside the Three Realms, there were numerous secret arts, and if a powerful practitioner learned some secret arts or magical powers for detection, he could easily detect abnormalities.

But what Ji Xiaoshan values ​​most is the ability of this magical power, Eight-Nine Profound Art, to enhance the strength of the divine body.

This is what he needs most right now.

However, although he was eager, he had never considered letting Ji Xiaoshan practice directly in the void of the Hundred Industries Star Sea and successfully complete the first few turns.

After all, to use elixirs to improve the divine body, one must be in a quiet place and devote most of one's mind to practice.

A void tide may appear in the void at any time. If Ji Xiaoshan really encounters it, it will not improve his strength, but will be completely courting death.

"We have been flying for half a year, and only the last 800,000 miles are left to the Ten Sins Island. It will probably take about two months to arrive." Ji Xiaoshan murmured.

"But now we not only have to guard against the void tide that may come at any time, but also have to be careful of those practitioners in the dark..."

"Hmm?" Ji Xiaoshan seemed to realize something and immediately turned his head to look somewhere.

"That is……"

There was a faint flicker of candlelight in Ji Xiaoshan's deep eyes, as if endless candle flames were dancing in them. At the same time, countless lights in the Baiye Star Sea quickly gathered in Ji Xiaoshan's eyes.

In the faraway sea of ​​emptiness, there was a crystal clear skeleton as white as jade floating quietly.
