The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 9 Ji Xiaoshan's Sword (Part )
Ji family, Northern Palace.

The Ji clan members in the mansion could also see the long dragon of sword energy hovering above the North Mansion. As the sword shadows evolved, it was so majestic that it seemed like a real dragon patrolling its territory.

"Look at that spell, it seems to be released from the palace lord's hall! Ji Nian, you go there immediately and find out what's going on!" The Ji clan members who were guarding the Bei Mansion immediately sent out members to investigate as soon as the sword dragon took off.

The violently surging vitality of heaven and earth created gusts of breeze out of nowhere. All living beings living in the Ji family's Northern Palace could see the soaring sword dragon as soon as they looked up.

The densely packed sword shadows, connected end to end, formed the dragon's head and horns, or the dragon's bones, flesh, tendons, and scales. Countless energy from heaven and earth rushed in, making it look like a god or demon, rising to prominence.

With such a big commotion, the guards of the Northern Palace would naturally take action. There were many members of the Ji clan in the palace, so if anything unexpected happened, they would have time to respond in time.

"This power is so strong! Just looking at it from afar, I feel terrified and my back goes cold!" A big man in red armor looked at the flying sword dragon with lingering fear.

He was one of the leaders of the Ji family's Northern Mansion, and he had entered the innate level many years ago, but the familiar yet unfamiliar sword shadow dragon still brought him a great sense of oppression.

"Yes, this spell is really powerful. Commander, you have great cultivation and have entered the level of innate creatures very early. You have a stronger resistance to this pressure. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but if I were to take on such a powerful sword move, I might not even have the courage to resist!" When the Yi Ji clan members heard the commander's sigh, they immediately responded.

“To be able to practice such a powerful spell, one must be at the Purple Mansion level. In my Bei Mansion, only the Palace Master is a Purple Mansion cultivator, so it must be him. There is hope for our Ji family to take off in the future!” An elder of the Ji clan sighed.

"Yes, the Palace Master is so powerful. I wonder what kind of charm the Dripping Sword of the West Palace, who is as famous as the Palace Master, has!" The Yiji clan members laughed together.

The reason why this group of guards were in the mood to joke was because they knew in their hearts that the sword dragon flew out from the North Palace Hall without destroying the buildings in the palace and causing no casualties.

If there was an enemy attack, these commanding guards would be the first to receive the message from the mansion. This was probably just a new spell that the mansion master was practicing, but the noise today was indeed a bit too loud.

"Why do those sword shadows feel a bit like the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin?" A member of the Ji family who practiced "Ten Thousand Swords Song" was surprised, but not sure. Although the Ji family's "Ten Thousand Swords Song" is powerful, he has never heard of a chance to transform sword moves into a long sword shadow dragon with scales and armor.

"Ten thousand swords returning to the clan? Impossible! I have seen Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Clan with my own eyes! It's not like that. You must have seen it wrong!" Another member of the Ji clan immediately rejected the idea after hearing this.

The long dragon of sword shadows was suspended above their heads. If they paid a little attention, they could clearly feel the coldness emanating from the long dragon composed of countless sword shadows. However, "Ten Thousand Swords Song" did not have such power.

……

"Commander, the Palace Lord asked us to maintain the stability of North Palace and not give other forces a chance to fish in troubled waters. And this long magical dragon above North Palace was caused by the Palace Lord's practice of a powerful spell, so we must not lose our composure." A member of the Ji clan returned at this time and recounted the instructions issued by Ji Liuzhen in a deep voice. This was one of the clan members who had gone to the palace to investigate the situation earlier.

"Okay, brothers, form teams and guard the key locations in the city. Don't panic!" The big man in armor listened to the report from his tribesmen and immediately made arrangements.

……

in front of the main hall.

"The noise made by Xiaoshan is too loud. It has alarmed all the creatures in Beifu. If we don't restrain ourselves, it will probably cause panic!" After Ji Liuzhen arranged the defense of Beifu, he casually sent away the clansmen who came to inquire.

But after the voice fell, Ji Xiaoshan, who was immersed in cultivation, seemed to have merged into this world, leaving everything behind and ignoring everything. While Ji Liuzhen was speaking, Ji Xiaoshan's sword momentum changed, and his eyes, which were slightly closed due to being too immersed, quietly opened. The long dragon of sword shadows spread out in an instant, turning into sword shadows all over the sky, and the dense and misty sword shadows covered the entire bluestone square.

The sword shadows flickered slightly, and each sword seemed to be an independent individual, yet closely connected to each other. Countless sword shadows roared and rushed forward, sweeping over like an overwhelming force, like an exciting and murderous sword song, carrying an ambush from all sides and murderous aura rising to the sky.

"This is the sublimated version of the Ten Thousand Swords Song!" With a wave of his hand, the sword shadows disappeared into thin air, and peace returned to the outside of the hall. Ji Xiaoshan looked at the sword in his hand and muttered to himself.

The "Song of Ten Thousand Swords", which he had already practiced to perfection, was unexpectedly smooth during this sword trial, and it also gave him a deeper understanding of the sword.

As the sword dances, the mind is filled with joy and inspiration. Every move and every style, as long as the thought moves, can be transformed into notes, forming a majestic and murderous melody.

In terms of control, no matter whether it was the previous long dragon of sword shadows or the song of ten thousand swords, each sword shadow could be controlled more meticulously, and every move could bring about endless power.

Ji Xiaoshan was thinking, and he always felt that something was hazy, as if covered by a veil, blocking him.

The wind blew by whistling, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"Boom!"

"Dong dong!"

Heavy drumbeats appeared out of nowhere in the void, like calls from ancient times, deep and powerful.

A trace of sword intent emerged out of thin air and transformed into sharp sword shadows.

Suddenly, a rapid and passionate sound of the pipa rang out, like a silver bottle breaking.

The sounds were like the collision of swords and spears, and the melody was surging in the air. The sword shadows turned into musical notes, accompanied by the sound of drums and pipa, which were strong and powerful, full of murderous aura!
"This is... this sword intent actually forms a song..." Su Wanjun said in shock.

Ji Liuzhen, who was standing by, was also stunned. "This is the legendary state of mind of Tao! Xiaoshan realized the true meaning of Tao today!"

The sound of drums, pipa, swords, musical notes... In the end, everything around merged into a song filled with murderous aura.

"Is this the Tao?" Ji Xiaoshan murmured to himself.

The hazy veil was gently pierced by a passionate sword music.

The feeling just now was indeed wonderful, as if I was completely integrated into it, as if I had become one with the Tao, as if I had turned into a string of musical notes, as if I was in a world full of sword energy.

At this moment, he was extremely familiar with the sword and the song, and he understood... this was the Tao, the Tao of sword music that he had realized!
The song is the soul, and the sword carries it!
This is his own extraordinary understanding, his comprehension of the essence of "Song of Ten Thousand Swords", his comprehension of swords, his feelings for swords and for the song, this is the accumulation of memories from two lives.

This is his sword!
