The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 348 The Fifth Level of Mental Strength
In the endless chaos far away from the Three Realms.

Black Lotus Chaos World.

Above the clouds, there was a huge city in the shape of a nine-petal black lotus. The city was extremely magnificent, and there were countless heart-shaking divine pattern prohibitions all over it. Under the cover of countless terrifying prohibitions, even the strong men in the world realm would not dare to trespass here.

This huge city that looks like a nine-petal lotus is the Black Lotus Imperial Capital, the lair of the Black Lotus God Emperor who rules over dozens of chaotic worlds.

Inside the Divine Emperor's Palace, hundreds of peerless and enchanting dancers were performing beautiful dances in the main hall. Each and every dancer seemed to exude an intoxicating charm, and unexpectedly, each of these peerless and enchanting girls exuded the aura of ancestral gods and immortals.

In the entire hall, there was only one person who was qualified to watch, and these peerless and enchanting dances were only performed for that one person, the emperor of the entire Black Lotus Empire.

The Black Lotus God Emperor sat high on the black lotus throne above the hall, with a table placed in front of him.

There were fine wines and delicacies on the table. He watched with great interest the beautiful dance of the peerless beauties below, drinking the wine leisurely.

"Well. This life... is much happier than wandering in other territories before!" The Black Lotus God Emperor had a carefree look on his face. "Coming to the Great Mo Territory, establishing a country, and being my emperor in peace and stability, it is a completely different pleasure."

Just as the Black Lotus God Emperor was sighing.

suddenly.

A black-robed figure hurried in.

"The God Emperor." The black-robed figure looked straight ahead and was extremely respectful. Even though there were hundreds of extremely charming and enchanting beauties in the hall, he did not dare to look at them even for a second.

“What’s the matter?” The Black Lotus God Emperor said calmly, but his eyes were still on the graceful dancers below.

"Report to the God Emperor, just now, the soul lamp of the Heart General was extinguished!" the black-robed figure said respectfully.

“The mind will... the soul lamp has gone out?” The Black Lotus God Emperor glanced over casually.

What followed was an endless and terrifying feeling of oppression, which directly enveloped the black-robed figure.

"Yes." The black-robed figure's voice trembled slightly, but he still replied.

Each of the nine generals under the Black Lotus God Emperor will leave a wisp of soul in the soul lamp to determine the life of the general when he goes out.

The extinction of the soul lamp could only mean one thing: that god had fallen.

"Yes." The Black Lotus God Emperor nodded calmly, "I understand!"

"Yes." The black-robed figure still said respectfully, and then slowly left the hall.

Having served under the Black Lotus God Emperor for countless years, he already knew the God Emperor's rules. These three short words meant that the Black Lotus God Emperor had taken them to heart. He had done his part and naturally withdrew sensibly.

"The Xinshen General... is dead." The Black Lotus God Emperor whispered softly, "He bought a set of Ancestral Immortal Formation just now, and died right after. Did he offend a world-level expert?"

"I hope you are not here to disturb my peaceful life as an emperor!"

"Otherwise, a strong man at the world level... I don't mind killing you at will."

……

Three Realms.

Ji Xiaoshan sat cross-legged in the Sky-Watching Taihao Tower, quietly comprehending. The space inside the tower was only about a hundred feet in radius, completely in the shape of a pyramid. The space was very stable, but the speed of time flow was very different from that of the outside world.

One year in the outside world is equivalent to two hundred years in the tower.

"A thousand years have passed... The affairs of the Three Realms are over, and I am about to head into the chaos." Ji Xiaoshan's eyes were dim. The Three Realms now were like a pond to him. No matter how big the pond was, it was difficult to raise a real dragon.

If you stay in the Three Realms all the time, you won't be able to improve your strength all the time.

Ji Xiaoshan knew that the endless chaos outside provided a larger platform for his growth.

I have been in the Wind God World, and it is difficult for me to venture out. But the opportunities in the Wind God World are too great. Without full preparation, Ji Xiaoshan would not easily challenge the ruler of the Wind God World, His Majesty Feng Yi.

After all, the example of the Ancestral God Mu Feng was right in front of him. Besides, he didn't want to gamble with that opportunity.

As long as he follows the steps and completely comprehends the Nine-Layer Chaos Restrictions, or comprehends the third level of the Thousand Bodies Sacred Scripture, or comprehends the second move of the nameless sword technique, his strength will undergo a qualitative change.

You know, any of these things, can allow him to leap forward and directly possess world-level combat power.

Instead of the current strength of the second soul, which has just reached the threshold of the world realm.

"However, before leaving... I have to pull out the inner demon. This master and disciple pair is really hateful!" Ji Xiaoshan murmured, and when he flipped his hand, a soul with scars all over its body and an extremely hideous face suddenly appeared in his hand.

"Ok?"

“I, I’m out!” As soon as the soul appeared in Ji Xiaoshan’s palm, the ferocious face froze for a moment, then looked at Ji Xiaoshan with tears in his eyes and said, “Qingping Sword Immortal… Qingping Sword Immortal! Let me go!”

"I, I won't dare to do it again! Spare me, spare me!"

"Let you go? This torture has just begun." Ji Xiaoshan snorted coldly, "Enjoy it slowly. It won't be long before your master who is hiding in the Three Realms will go to accompany you."

“Master?” The God King was startled, and then terrified, “No—no! Give me a quick death! Kill… Kill me!”

He was scared, really scared.

It wasn't long before he could no longer hold on.

In front of Ji Xiaoshan's methods, the eighteen levels of hell in the three realms were not enough. He felt extremely tortured every minute and every second. But now, his master, the "king" of Wujianmen, is going to accompany him?

"Noisy." Ji Xiaoshan said lightly, and with a flip of his hand, the soul in his palm was collected again. The Wind God World has many mental power secrets, and he doesn't need to prepare deliberately. Under the cover of the mental power secret "One Thought World", the nominal "king" of Wuxianmen can be tortured.

……

"The fifth level of mental power, 'Return to the True Self'..." Ji Xiaoshan sat cross-legged, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Among the various methods of the Wind God Sect, there are the clearest instructions for the six levels of mental power, but there are still only a handful of practitioners in the entire Wind God Sect who can reach the fifth level of mental power. This shows how difficult it is to cultivate mental power.

There is no other reason. For practitioners of mental power, the requirements for the "heart" are too high.

"But fortunately, I have many clones, so I have no shortage of understanding. I reached the peak of the fourth level of mental power a long time ago. I even captured the glimmer of inspiration that broke through the fifth level of mental power..."

Ji Xiaoshan then closed his eyes.

"Now, it's time to practice."

……

Time passes quickly.

The war in the three realms seemed to have been paused. The leaders of Wujian Sect, the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, the Master of Huanmu, and the Taoist Master of Demon Hands, first proposed a ceasefire, and the two sides shook hands and made peace.

It caught countless immortals and demons in the Three Realms off guard. You know, the later the war is, the more the immortals and demons will fight with red eyes.

But the top leaders all announced that they would stop, and even though the immortals and demons below were confused, they had to face it calmly.

Immediately afterwards, no matter whether they were the immortals and demons from Nuwa's camp, or the practitioners from Wujianmen's camp, as long as they were practitioners at the level of gods and immortals or above, they all gathered together.

Under the supervision of the Three Pure Ones, Suiren, Buddha Tathagata, Fengmo, Huanmu Master and other powerful people from both sides, each of them swore an oath to fulfill their destiny.

These were all decided after everyone discussed in the chaotic void outside the Three Realms after killing the Heart General.

then.

Soon, under the constraints of the life oath, from top to bottom, the three realms quickly returned to peace.
However, although a large number of immortals and demons died in this war, which reduced the burden on the entire Three Realms, there are still great hidden dangers. The Three Pure Ones and other powerful people have already had a clear understanding of these things under Ji Xiaoshan's popularization.

Therefore, the powerful people in the three realms decided that they must reduce the scale. Cultivating immortals... definitely cannot be done so easily, more dangerous steps must be set up.

After the powerful beings of the Three Realms gave the order, the entire Three Realms began to change.

From then on, all the major sects of cultivating immortals were located in the mountains and dangerous places, and all the tribes of cultivating immortals would not easily accept people. It became ten or even a hundred times more difficult to practice immortal cultivation than before.

Only those with greater perseverance and better character can enter the door of immortality.

Time is long.

Two hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

Ji Xiaoshan, who was sitting cross-legged in the Taihao Tower, slowly opened his eyes.

"Huh." He let out a long breath and murmured softly, "Forty thousand years have passed, 'return to the true self'... Is this what it means to return to the true self?"

Everything in the Three Realms had changed greatly under his intervention. The biggest threat to the Three Realms, the Heart General, had his original body and second soul completely killed by Ji Xiaoshan. The remaining Chaos Alien Thorn Cultivator Great Demon God and the Heart Demon Lord hiding in the Three Realms Heavenly Dao were just minor problems.

During the 40,000 years in the Sky-Watching Taihao Tower, Ji Xiaoshan's heart completely calmed down. His heart was truly relaxed, and he naturally "returned to his true nature".

Although the opportunity of the Wind God World is still a concern in Ji Xiaoshan's heart, it is just a bump on the road of cultivation. So it has no effect on Ji Xiaoshan at all.

"Boom~~~"

The heart is extending.

Mental strength is also surging.

For a moment, the invisible mental power continued to extend into the void and continued to grow.

Ji Xiaoshan saw all the living beings in the three realms, the sects of immortal cultivators in the high mountains and steep places, and the powerful people who were either practicing in seclusion or teaching their disciples.

The heart is constantly extending. Ji Xiaoshan can see more.

Soon, Ji Xiaoshan's extended mental power enveloped the entire Three Realms, and even covered the more distant void and chaos.

a long time.

Ji Xiaoshan's heart just stopped expanding.

"Huh." Ji Xiaoshan had a smile in his eyes. "The fifth level of mental power allows me to directly cover the size of about three chaotic worlds. The projection range of my mental world has also become larger!"

The bigger your heart is, the stronger your heart power is.

Ji Xiaoshan broke through to the fifth level. He himself did not know how terrible his mental power was under the amplification of the magic technique. However, there was no doubt that his strength had increased by at least 20% under the amplification of his mental power!
"There are only eight hundred years left of the agreed thousand years. So continue to practice!" Ji Xiaoshan smiled and closed his eyes again.

There is no rush to pull the inner demon out of the three realms.

After all, under the constraints of the life oath, the three realms will not be in chaos. A thousand years is just a blink of an eye for countless practitioners.

But for Ji Xiaoshan, time is precious and improving strength is the most important thing!
