The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 228 Preparations before the Tribulation
Heaven, the Eight Scenery Palace.

Ji Xiaoshan stood outside the Bajing Palace, in front of the towering thousand-foot-high gate and spoke respectfully.

"Master, I have come to ask for an audience."

"Come in!"

An indifferent voice came from the towering palace. The voice seemed a little dull, but the tranquility in the voice instantly calmed Ji Xiaoshan's slightly fiery heart.

……

"Master." Ji Xiaoshan bowed respectfully.

"Qingping, what's the matter?" The Three Pure Ones looked calmly at the young man in black armor below and said indifferently.

"Master, I have something urgent to ask for your help." Ji Xiaoshan said, "I wonder if you can make the Heavenly Dao retreat in this Bajing Palace?"

“Hmm? Do we need to let the Heavenly Dao retreat?” The peaceful gaze of the Three Pure Ones Taoist Patriarch moved slightly. He waved his sleeves, and the inexplicable aura that was everywhere in the Bajing Palace instantly dissipated.

The Three Pure Ones said in a deep voice, "Qingping, why do we need to block even the Heavenly Dao? Could it be... your own business?"

Ji Xiaoshan sensed carefully that in the Bajing Palace, the countless absent Heavenly Daos had been dispersed by the Three Pure Ones. The surroundings were all very familiar to Ji Xiaoshan, and it felt like he was in the sea of ​​stars.

“You little guy!” Seeing Ji Xiaoshan’s cautious look, the Three Pure Ones shook his head and laughed, “It seems that what you are going to say next is indeed important. Now the Heavenly Dao does not exist in the entire Bajing Palace. Even if the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race or the Buddha Tathagata of the Western Buddhism want to find out about you and me, it is impossible.”

Ji Xiaoshan nodded gently and said, "Master, this matter is indeed of great importance. If I am not careful... the consequences may be disastrous."

After all, what he was about to say was something unprecedented in the entire Three Realms in endless years. Although he could not explain the whole story one by one, if even a few words were known by the Wujian Sect or even Elder Yuan, it would be unpredictable what the situation in the entire Three Realms would be like.

After all, Elder Yuan had been possessed by the second soul of the Black Lotus Empire's Mind General countless years ago, while the Mind General's original body was still alive and well.

No matter whether it is the famous strong men among the many Three Realms under his control, or his original body, they are all extremely difficult existences for the current Three Realms.

After all, the entire Three Realms had almost become the back garden of Elder Yuan. Except for some people with strong minds, such as Suirenshi and the Three Pure Ones, who were difficult to be subtly controlled by Elder Yuan, almost all the famous people in the Three Realms had become his slaves. If he knew that a method to make a first-class golden elixir had appeared in the Three Realms...

This consequence... Will Elder Yuan still sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers, waiting for the Nuwa camp and the Wujianmen camp to fight until both sides are defeated, and then jump out at the end...

Not to mention that within the Heavenly Dao, there are also inner demons who want to escape from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao. Wherever the Heavenly Dao is, the inner demons are there.

If the Heavenly Dao is not blocked, if the inner demon knows it, it is equivalent to the entire Wuxian Sect knowing it, and if the Wuxian Sect knows it, it is equivalent to Old Man Yuan knowing it.

At least there would be no time left for Ji Xiaoshan or even Ji Ning to grow. The entire Three Realms... might be in danger.

Ji Xiaoshan continued, "Master. In the past ten years, I have obtained an extremely precious method by chance outside the domain. There is almost no method comparable to it in the entire Three Realms... and my second soul can now seek to survive the heavenly tribulation."

"There is almost no method in the entire Three Realms that can match it? The second soul is going to survive the heavenly tribulation?" A light flashed in the eyes of the Three Pure Ones, and he immediately thought of a possibility.

"Qingping, what you said is just a few words. But the method you mentioned... I wonder what kind of method it is? Could it be?"

Ji Xiaoshan shook his head silently.

"Hmm?" The Taoist Three Pure Ones' eyes suddenly became complicated.

Ji Xiaoshan then said, "If I want to survive the heavenly tribulation, I will need some precious Chaos Materials, so I have come to ask for Master's help."

"Do you need precious materials from the chaos to overcome the heavenly tribulation?" The Three Pure Ones was stunned. "This is indeed somewhat different from the methods in the Three Realms. Did you really find this method in the chaos?"

Ji Xiaoshan continued to shake his head.

Restricted by his life oath, he is not allowed to privately teach the methods recorded on the inheritance stone tablet. Even about the cultivation content of "Returning to the Origin and Free Golden Elixir Method", Ji Xiaoshan is not allowed to reveal a single detail.

If he were to try to reveal it, his soul would shatter and dissipate before he could even utter the words due to the constraints of his life oath.

However, if you just talk about the treasures you need to overcome the tribulation, as long as it does not involve the content of cultivation, there will be no problem. After all, the most valuable thing about this method is not which treasures are used.

Ji Xiaoshan looked at the Three Pure Ones and continued, "Master, do you know about the Oath of Destiny? In the Chaos Beyond the Domain, above the Oath of Heaven, there is also the Oath of Destiny that can constrain practitioners. Once the Oath of Destiny is made, even if it is a True God Daozu, or even a ancestor god above or even a practitioner at the level of Pangu, as long as they make the oath, it will be equally effective."

"My life oath..." The Three Pure Ones nodded, "Just continue."

The Three Pure Ones knew about the Oath of Life. As early as in ancient times, when those foreign races invaded the Three Realms, the leaders in the Three Realms knew that there was an Oath of Life above the Oath of Heaven. It was just that there was no such treasure in the Three Realms.

"Yes." Ji Xiaoshan nodded. "The practitioner needs to use the precious treasure of the Life Oath Stone as a medium to make an oath with his soul. If there is even the slightest thought of violating the oath, his soul will disintegrate before he can even utter it..."

In the entire hall, only Ji Xiaoshan's voice echoed in the air. Ji Xiaoshan only hinted that there was a way to restrict practitioners in the chaos, and only talked about the matter of the life oath, and only revealed his difficulties in a few words.

"Hmm. This... I understand." As soon as Ji Xiaoshan mentioned the Three Pure Ones, he instantly understood what kind of existence they were.

"Then what precious materials do you need to overcome the tribulation? If I can get them all in the Three Realms, it would be a good thing." The Three Pure Ones Taoist Patriarch said with a smile.

"After the birth of the current Three Realms, in the endless years, many powerful people often traveled in the Chaos and accumulated a lot of Chaos artifacts. Maybe there is what you need among them."

"In front of Master, I will speak directly. I need the four great chaotic objects of earth, water, wind and fire. Among them, I need four kinds of them: Earth Rock Crystal, Qiongming Jade Dew, Taisu Xuanshi and Jiuyan Juice." Ji Xiaoshan said.

"Of these four precious materials, 15,000 kilograms of Earth Rock Crystal, 18,000 kilograms of Jade Dew, 16,000 kilograms of Taisu Mystic Stone, and 30,000 kilograms of Nine Flame Juice."

“Hmm.” The Three Pure Ones Daoist Patriarch groaned for a moment before saying, “Of the materials you need, the Nine Flame Syrup is the most common in the Three Realms. When Suiren was traveling outside the Primal Chaos, he discovered several million kilograms of it. This precious material is not only useful in refining magic weapons, but I didn’t expect that you would also need it to overcome the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation. Thirty thousand kilograms is not much, and I can take it out directly in my hands.”

"As for this Earth Crystal, I discovered a broken star when I was traveling in the chaos in ancient times. The core of this star is this Earth Crystal, and I have quite a few of them. As for the remaining Taisu Mysterious Stone and Qiongming Rain Dew, I don't have much..."

"Hmm?" Ji Xiaoshan was delighted. "Master, I have these four treasures in all three realms? Can I get them all?"

It’s no wonder that Ji Xiaoshan is so happy. If the Three Realms can be gathered together and the Three Pure Ones can take them out, then everything will be ready.

And he didn't have to rack his brains to think of other ways. He could even hunt down Shao Yanchou now, seize the World Prison, and use Chaos Spirit Liquid to replace these treasures.

Not to mention other things, Shao Yanchou practiced the Eighteen Demons of Tao Wu and had eighteen clones.

No one knows which clone he placed this treasure on. If all of Shao Yanchou's clones cannot be captured at a very fast speed, given the special nature of the prison in that world, it would be difficult to find it again if it was placed in a corner of the Three Realms.

Moreover, with Ji Xiaoshan’s current strength, he is unable to directly refine the world prison, and everything falls into a vicious circle.

"We can gather them all. Before you said that, I was also worried that it would be difficult to gather all these treasures within the Three Realms. But if it's just these four, it won't be a problem."

The Three Pure Ones Taoist smiled faintly, "However, this Taisu Mystical Stone in my hand only weighs over 3,000 kilograms. The Qiongming Jade Dew is even more precious, and is usually used when refining special Daluo Lingdan. This Master only has less than 1,500 kilograms."

"This..." Ji Xiaoshan said with a wry smile, "But these treasures are so precious, disciple..."

“You are only at the Return to Void level, so naturally I don’t expect you to take out these treasures. As a master and disciple, these are nothing.” The Three Pure Ones Daoist Patriarch gently waved his hand, “Now the entire Three Realms are undercurrents, even your master doesn’t dare to say that he can escape unscathed. If you can successfully survive the heavenly tribulation this time, you will have the power to protect yourself. It can be regarded as not letting us down!”

"Thank you, Master!" Ji Xiaoshan thanked repeatedly.

The Three Pure Ones said, "But if that's the case, you can't survive this heavenly tribulation in my sect. Although my sect is full of talented people, your heavenly tribulation is extremely complicated and is not safe in the heavens."

"Well, I will go find my old friend and find a safe place for you to survive. It just so happens that those Chaos Artifacts you need also require the help of my old friends."

"Thank you, Master!" Ji Xiaoshan was delighted.

"It's okay. If you can be the first person to set this precedent, it's not too cautious." The Three Pure Ones Taoist Patriarch said with a smile.

“Master, I have something to say. This kind of method, in the entire outer domain, is generally only available to beings of Pangu’s level…”

Ji Xiaoshan said in a deep voice, "I, your disciple, am practicing outside. Now that I have gained something, it is difficult for me to return to the Three Realms for the time being. However, the matter of transcending the calamity is of great importance, and the Wuxian Sect is omnipresent... I am afraid..."

"Hmm?" The Taoist Sanqing suddenly became serious, "Qingping, do you know something?"

The Three Pure Ones couldn't help but think about it, after all, Ji Xiaoshan's words were really meaningful.

"Master, I am only a Returned Immortal, and I know nothing about anything. However, the undercurrents in the Three Realms are surging, just like a deep pool."

Ji Xiaoshan smiled and said, "I once heard an interesting story when I was in the mortal world. A black snake that was proficient in the art of transformation accidentally discovered a deep pool full of fat and big fish. The black snake was overjoyed. In order to catch all the fish in the pool and to monopolize the deep pool, it transformed into a fish that was exactly the same as the fish in the pool. By contacting the fish, it secretly controlled one fish after another..."

"So until all the water in the pond is drained, no one knows what kind of mystery lies at the bottom of the pond. And in this pond, every fish cannot believe it. The only one they can believe is themselves..."

"This..." The Taoist Master Sanqing was shocked. The hint from his disciple was too obvious.

He, the Taoist Sanqing, was born together with the ancient Pangu world. Over the endless years, he has encountered many alien races, and he also knows that the methods of those alien races are hard to guard against.

If what his disciple said was true, then the inexplicable feeling he had before the catastrophe...

"In the depths of a catastrophe... you can only trust yourself?" The Three Pure Ones Taoist Patriarch said softly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
