The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 221: The Secret Art of Mind Power - A World in One Thought

"Boy, is this illusion left by the Ancestral God Mu Feng real enough?"

The bald-headed young man in a black robe looked at Ji Xiaoshan from a distance and said with a smile, "This mental power secret technique 'One Thought World' is also an extremely profound mental power secret technique in his world. If not..."

"The secret art of mental power, 'The World in One Thought'? What else?" Ji Xiaoshan asked curiously.

"Ruofei? Did I say Ruofei?" The bald young man in black robe shook his head.

"You should worry about yourself. What you just experienced was only the first illusion! Master, I will be merciful and tell you the news."

"There is an illusion like this one within every mile. In other words, within the remaining 998 miles, there are more than 900 illusions waiting for you to explore!"

"There are more than nine hundred?" Ji Xiaoshan's heart sank.

This alone could make him sink into it, and it was almost impossible for him to break free. The pressure emanating from the corpse of the ancestor god Mu Feng became stronger the closer he got to the corpse.

In the future, the illusion created by this secret mental power technique "The World of One Thought" will definitely be even more terrifying.

"Of course." The bald young man in black robe nodded.

"You have already comprehended the power of the mind, but even though you have only just begun to learn it and are still at the first level, you should know how powerful the power of the mind is." The bald-headed young man in a black robe said, "And the Ancestral God Mu Feng also has a very deep understanding of the power of the mind. He was just one step away from breaking through to the fifth level."

"He is only a hair away from breaking through to the fifth level?" Ji Xiaoshan suddenly realized. Practitioners at this level can basically be called mental practitioners.

And every practitioner of mental power is an extremely terrifying existence. After all, compared with practitioners of other schools, mental power is more bizarre and more difficult to guard against.

Moreover, the ancestor god Mu Feng also possesses a powerful secret technique of mental power. If he were placed in the chaos, he would be the most difficult ancestor god among the countless ancestor gods.

“But you don’t have to be discouraged. Although the illusion left by the ancestor god Mu Feng is an extremely difficult test for you, if you can get through it, it will allow you to undergo a transformation as if you were reborn.” said the bald young man in black robe.

"Yeah." Ji Xiaoshan nodded.

He had long understood what the black-robed bald-headed young man meant. Just advancing a mile was enough to drain his mental energy under the endless murderous intent. And breaking free from the first illusion had touched him even more.

Ji Xiaoshan focused his mind and continued walking forward. Only one illusion could be triggered within a one-mile range, so he walked very fast the rest of the way.

Until he took another step forward and entered the third mile.

Boom~~~
Suddenly, Ji Xiaoshan felt dizzy and the surrounding scene became blurry again.

……

Ji Xiaoshan opened his eyes again, only to feel extreme pain all over his body, with every part of his body in pain.

"Hmm? Pain?" Ji Xiaoshan was startled. "It seems that this second illusion is more real. It can even make me feel pain?"

Ji Xiaoshan then focused his attention on the surrounding environment. He saw that he was in a city, in front of a magnificent mansion, surrounded by servants in short clothes, and the leader was a tall man in a white robe.

"Boy, you are just a congenital creature, and the son of a small tribal chief. How can you be worthy of my sister? My sister is the apple of the eye of the entire Four Seas Gang! Get out of here. This young master is in a good mood today. The next time I see you coming to look for my sister, it won't be as simple as beating you up!"

"Am I getting beaten?" Ji Xiaoshan was stunned when he heard this.

He looked up at the person who spoke, who was the tall man in a white robe.

"What are you looking at?" The tall man gave Ji Xiaoshan a fierce look, then waved his hand, "Left and right, throw this kid out of the city, throw him far away!"

"Yes." The servant standing on the left and right of the tall young man nodded immediately and lifted Ji Xiaoshan up.

"Hmm? This illusion is more real, and seems like a real world." Ji Xiaoshan sensed it carefully. Since the bald young man in black robe had revealed some information to him, he naturally would not be stupid enough to resist it.

"This mental secret technique 'The World of One Thought' should be to use mental power to construct a complete illusion, allowing practitioners to sink into reality. In the last illusion, I almost completely lost my memory, and could only act according to the most primitive instinct." Ji Xiaoshan remained clear-headed and thought.

"Since this is a world of one thought, I will just go with the flow..."

suddenly.

"Xiao Wu, now we're outside the city, let's just leave this kid here!" said a servant in gray.

"This? This is far from what the young master said... If the young master blames me..." The gray-clothed servant named Xiao Wu looked embarrassed.

"You are such a blockhead. You are afraid of the young master, but aren't you afraid of the young lady? Although this boy was born in a poor family, I don't know how he has won the favor of the young lady. That's the young lady! The jewel in the crown of my Sihai Gang, the little witch who has the final say. If you offend her... just do it here!" said the gray-clothed servant.

"Then here it is!" another servant nodded.

boom!
Those servants were all immortal cultivators, so it was not difficult for them to throw a congenital creature out of the city. In a blink of an eye, they threw Ji Xiaoshan into a forest outside the city.

"Well. Apart from the innate cultivation of this young man in this illusion, he cannot use his own strength." Ji Xiaoshan had a smile on his face.

"This illusion is almost comparable to reincarnation. Not only is it real, but it also doesn't take up a lot of time. You just need to keep a clear mind to avoid getting lost. What the magic weapon spirit said is absolutely true. If I can make it to the end, it will definitely be a great transformation for me."

The more real the illusion is, the rarer it is. According to legend, the most powerful mental practitioners have a world in their mind, and any treasure in the world can be taken out and used directly, and once taken out, it is indistinguishable from the real treasure.

The same is true for this illusion. The more real it is, the more powerful it is, and the greater the effect it has on sharpening one's mind.

If you can keep your original heart and no longer sink into illusions, it can also be regarded as a kind of tempering.

Ji Xiaoshan immediately climbed up and walked back to the city along the path that the servants had carried him to...

As time passed, he began to practice continuously. With a sense of clarity in his mind and the memory of his original practice, his practice speed increased like a rocket.

Not long after, he came to the Sihai Gang again and directly defeated the most powerful leader of the Sihai Gang, thus becoming famous in one battle.

Then, he successfully married the eldest daughter of the Four Seas Gang.

Year after year, new children are added to the family, as if it is a reincarnation cycle.

Gradually, Ji Xiaoshan became the leader of the Sihai Gang and a powerful and famous figure in the entire dynasty.

It was not until three hundred years later that the eldest lady, who was also a cultivator, passed away.

"Well, three hundred years is just a moment. It's just a dream. This dream...it's time for me to wake up!" Ji Xiaoshan murmured.

He looked at his wife lying on the bed, who had been with him for three hundred years and still looked like a young girl, and had passed away suddenly. He shook his head gently. "Broken!"

Ji Xiaoshan said softly, his voice was soft but it sounded like the sound of a huge bell.

Rumble~~~
Suddenly, the whole world fell silent in an instant, huge cracks spread, and the world where Ji Xiaoshan had lived in the illusion for three hundred years also collapsed.

……

"Huh!" Ji Xiaoshan let out a breath and then opened his eyes.

"This illusion is so powerful!" Ji Xiaoshan shook his head and then took another step forward.

"But, on to the next one."

"Go forward, I want to see how powerful the illusion can be."

Ji Xiaoshan walked step by step towards the white jade skeleton floating in the void. The closer he got to the skeleton, the more real his experiences in the illusion became, and the stronger the temptation became.

Later, some enchanting beauties, some rare treasures, and even evil demons appeared in the illusion...

Although the illusion became more and more real and powerful, Ji Xiaoshan's Taoism heart became more and more tenacious, his mental strength increased, and at the same time, he always maintained a trace of clarity in his heart.

Five miles.

Ten miles.

Hundreds of miles.

Although Ji Xiaoshan was resisting the illusion for longer and longer, his aura became more and more restrained.

……

"Hmm? This kid! I was not wrong about him, he is indeed a monster."

The bald young man in black robe looked at Ji Xiaoshan who was approaching him step by step, and a hint of satisfaction finally appeared on his face.

"The closer this illusion is to the core, the stronger it is. But the time he was immersed in the illusion still did not exceed twenty breaths. It can be seen that this kid's mental strength is also constantly improving."

"This kid has come at a good time. Normally, how could he have the opportunity to improve his mental strength so gradually? When a catastrophe comes, it is like a tidal wave. If you can withstand it, your strength will be greatly improved. If you can't withstand it, you will die immediately."

"If jade is not polished, it will not become a useful tool. However, most practitioners do not encounter such a test that can be called a gentle breeze and drizzle."

The bald young man in black robe has a gloomy look in his eyes.

He was very clear that the strength of the illusion contained in this pressure was increasing step by step with the distance.

After all, what the Ancestral God Mu Feng needed was to find a suitable practitioner to fulfill his last wish. If there was no such last wish, as long as a practitioner appeared, he would take the remains of the Ancestral God Mu Feng and run away.

……

Seven hundred miles.

Eight hundred miles.

Nine hundred miles.

Time passed day by day, until Ji Xiaoshan began to walk into the core of the white jade skeleton within a hundred miles.

This illusion has undergone a qualitative change at this moment. For Ji Xiaoshan, it is as if his true soul has been reincarnated and he is experiencing the cycle of reincarnation again and again.

And it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to resist the illusion.

"Break! Break! Break!" In the illusion, Ji Xiaoshan roared angrily.

Rumble~~~
Rumble~~~
For a moment, the earth in the illusion shook and even began to become illusory, but it never collapsed.

"Break it open for me!"

"Break! Break! Break!" Ji Xiaoshan roared in his heart again and again.

Finally, after spending half an incense stick of time, Ji Xiaoshan finally broke free from the illusion.

"In these last hundred miles, the illusion has been qualitatively improved compared to before, and every step is extremely difficult!" Ji Xiaoshan's face was solemn.

"but……"

Ji Xiaoshan looked up at the skeleton of the Ancestral God Mu Feng not far away. The skeleton had never been so clear in his eyes. He could even see the white jade sword very clearly, and could see every line on the jade sword clearly through the void.

Ji Xiaoshan's heart suddenly became hot, "The opportunity to soar to the sky is right before my eyes!"

“Boy, don’t look at me with that look. I’m right here. It’s your luck if you can get it.” The bald young man in black robe suddenly flew out from the pocket sword.

"But you are indeed making rapid progress. It only took you half a year to get to the core area within a hundred miles. To be able to enter the area within a hundred miles of the Ancestral God Mu Feng, the cultivator's mental strength must at least reach the second level, and it must be extremely powerful in the second level." The bald boy in a black robe turned his head and looked at Ji Xiaoshan and said, "Don't you agree, kid!"

“I can’t hide it from the senior’s extremely sharp eyes.” Ji Xiaoshan said with a smile, “Although the illusion just now took me half an incense stick of time. But the stronger the illusion, the greater the improvement to my mental power. Now my mental power should have reached the peak of the second level. However, I have not learned the mental power method, so I am not very clear about the detailed division.”

The bald boy in black robe stroked his chin and said, "Well, the peak of the second level? If you can come to me completely and pass through the remaining ninety illusions, you will have a chance to directly improve your mental strength to the third level - Domination."

"The third level of mental strength - the domination level?" Ji Xiaoshan nodded, "If you can get through it safely, then it will definitely be possible."

After all, Ji Ning was entangled in karmic fire at the beginning, and after completely overcoming the karmic fire, he almost reached the state of dominance over mental power.

But in the Three Realms, this karmic fire generally has no effect on some extremely powerful gods and immortals. And those true gods and Taoist ancestors can completely ignore this calamity of karmic fire.

However, the powerful pressure emanating from the Ancestral God Mu Feng, and the illusion created by the secret mental power contained therein, especially within a hundred miles from the Ancestral God Mu Feng, are far more terrifying and powerful than the calamity of karma fire.
