Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 378 The Turning Point in Ji Ning's Fate
The world of the Wilderness Era.

Looking at the "Desolate Era" uploaded by Lu Qingshan, Beishan Baiwei was filled with doubt.

"My story?"

Although he still couldn't quite understand what Lu Qingshan was saying, he decided to take a look at the "Desolate Era" that Lu Qingshan had uploaded, as Lu Qingshan had suggested.

Soon, Beishan Baiwei opened the book "Mang Huang Ji" that only he could read, and with the help of the chat group, everything about "Mang Huang Ji" quickly flooded into his mind.

There isn't much about him in "The Desolate Era"; it mainly focuses on Ji Ning, whom he left on the warship.

Initially, Ji Ning was granted the method of visualization by Lord Cui because of his merits. Later, due to an accident in the underworld, he was reincarnated with his memories intact...

If that were all, it would be fine; at most, it would just be the emergence of a slightly more dazzling genius.

Unexpectedly, Ji Ning unexpectedly obtained the inheritance left by the powerful figure of the Three Realms, the Daoist of Three Longevities, and learned the super divine power, "Star-Picking Hand"!
"I never imagined that Ji Ning's opportunity would be so miraculous!"

Upon seeing this, Bei Shan Baiwei couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "No wonder Ji Ning was able to kill Wanxiang Zhenren with only the Purple Mansion Realm. It turns out he has learned such a heaven-defying divine power as the 'Star-Picking Hand'!"

"However, Ji Ning's opportunities are all interconnected. If he hadn't done good deeds back then, he wouldn't have received guidance from Lord Cui, nor would he have possessed divine sense and passed the test left by the Three Longevity Daoist!"

Thinking of this, Beishan Baiwei quickly started reading the following content. He was eager to know how far Ji Ning, who possessed such amazing opportunities, could go in the future, and whether he would have the chance to become a celestial being.

Later on, Ji Ning's talent and strength began to increase.

He first joined the Black and White Academy with his great talent, then offended the Shao Yan Clan and wandered the world alone. Finally, with many opportunities and great strength, he won first place in the Immortal Destiny Conference held every three hundred years.

"I never imagined that Ji Ning's talent was so powerful!"

Upon seeing Ji Ning win first place in the Immortal Fate Tournament and become a disciple of Bodhi Dao Ancestor, Beishan Baiwei couldn't help but sigh with admiration.

Although Ji Ning received the inheritance left by the Three Longevity Daoist, which of the geniuses who participated in the Immortal Fate Conference did not have their own opportunities?

Ji Ning's ability to stand out among countless geniuses in the Great Xia world is enough to prove just how terrifying his talent is.

Upon seeing this, Beishan Baiwei could only feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including admiration and awe).

After all, countless geniuses have been born in many worlds over the endless ages, but very few of them have actually been able to break through to the Celestial Immortal realm.

However, since Ji Ning has already become a disciple of the Dao Ancestor, he should have a great chance to break through to the Celestial Immortal realm in the future.

Immediately afterwards, Beishan Baiwei began watching the subsequent content of "Mang Huang Ji".

For example, Ji Ning's many experiences in the world where Bodhi Dao Ancestor resides, his actions after returning to the Great Xia world, and his many experiences after being exiled to the ancient ruins world...

"I never imagined that Ji Ning's experiences would be so unbelievable!"

After reading this part of the story, Beishan Baiwei couldn't help but exclaim, "Moreover, our Beishan lineage's ancestor, Tonghe Tianxian, is still alive, and his strength is still so great!"

"But the undercurrents surging in countless worlds are actually being driven by the Gate of No Return? This is truly unbelievable!"

Later on, Ji Ning's strength continued to break through in a very short period of time.

First, he broke through to become a Celestial Immortal, then became a key player in the war between the Great Xia World and the Wujian Sect, and later even broke through to the True Immortal realm...

Following this, it was revealed that his wife, Yu Wei, was actually a spy for the Wujian Sect, and her betrayal caused great harm to the Great Xia.

However, Ji Ning did not succumb to despair. Instead, he seized the opportunity to advance to the fourth level of mental strength, thus leading the Great Xia side to victory in this earth-shattering war.

In the years that followed, Ji Ning continued to fight against the Wujian Sect in order to rescue his wife, Yu Wei.

First, he annihilated a group of Heavenly Immortals and True Immortals from the Wujian Sect, and later he even entered the Moonlit Pool to cultivate.

Unexpectedly, the Moonlit Pool turned out to be a place of inheritance left behind by a super powerful being, so that the inheritor could transmit the news of his demise at the hands of the enemy back to the sect.

Later, a massive war broke out in the Three Realms, and even many true gods and Dao Ancestors perished...

The inner demon whose body merges with the Heavenly Dao, the Heart God General secretly plotting for endless years, and the many true gods and Dao Ancestors enslaved by the Heart God General, etc...

Each and every one of these events deeply moved Beishan Baiwei.

And after the Dao Ancestor, there were even World Gods, First-Step Dao Lords, Second-Step Dao Lords, Third-Step Dao Lords, and Fourth-Step Dao Lords...

The realms of Eternal Emperor (Dominator, Lord of Another Universe), Supreme, etc.!

Above the Supreme Realm, one can even control the entire Chaos Universe, becoming a supreme ruler of the Chaos Universe who can dominate everything.

"I never imagined that the world I live in is so vast and wonderful!"

After reading through all the contents recorded in "The Desolate Era", Beishan Baiwei couldn't help but look at Ji Ning in front of him: "Moreover, Ji Ning was actually able to do that, and in the end, he even comprehended the ultimate Dao and became the controller of the chaotic universe. This is really too incredible!"

Thinking about all that Ji Ning would experience in the future, Bei Shan Baiwei couldn't help but look at Ji Ning and exclaimed in admiration, "Brother Ji Ning, I really admire you!"

Beishan Baiwei felt absolutely no jealousy or even envy towards Ji Ning from "Mang Huang Ji".

After all, Ji Ning had experienced more than one life-or-death crisis during his growth. If it were anyone else, they might have perished on the path of cultivation long ago. How could they possibly become the controller of the chaotic universe?
Moreover, it was precisely because of Ji Ning's existence that the Three Realms were not occupied by the Wujian Gate, were not destroyed by the Mind God, and the Chaos Universe was not occupied and transformed by the Nasis Clan!
Furthermore, Ji Ning never forgot the bond between them in the future. The fact that Bei Shan Baiwei was able to live to that time and drink with a group of immortals and demons was definitely because of Ji Ning.

At this moment, Ji Ning was feeling uneasy because Bei Shan Baiwei had left him alone. He was completely baffled by the sudden praise from Bei Shan Baiwei.

"Son!"

Ji Ning quickly and respectfully replied, "I was only able to kill that True Person Xu Li because of good luck!"

"Brother Ji Ning, you don't need to be so modest!"

Kitayama Hyakumi sat down directly, then pointed to the black chair not far away and said, "You sit down too! Also, my name is Kitayama Hyakumi, you can just call me Hyakumi from now on!"

"Thank you, Young Master Xie Baiwei!"

Ji Ning sat down to the side and then asked, "I wonder if Young Master Baiwei has something to ask me to stay?"

"Of course I want to get to know Brother Ji Ning!"

Beishan Baiwei waved his hand and immediately handed a token to Ji Ning: "This is my token. If anyone makes things difficult for you in the future, you can show this token, and I believe they will give the Beishan family some face!"

"This……"

Ji Ning hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and took the token, then said, "When I get to Anchan City, I will definitely pay my respects to Young Master Baiwei!"

But at this moment...

"The Yinglong Guard is investigating a case and intends to capture and interrogate the Ji family members. We request the warship owner to grant us this favor!"

A cold, sharp voice suddenly came from outside into the warship.

"The records in the Desolate Era are indeed true!"

Upon hearing this voice, Beishan Baiwei thought to himself, "It seems that the person who has come must be Xue Hongyi from Xuelong Mountain!"

However, in the original story, Beishan Baiwei didn't take Xue Hongyi seriously at all, and now that he understands the vastness of this world, he's even less likely to care.

Therefore, Beishan Baiwei dismissed Xue Hongyi with just a few words, and even had her relay a message to the Nascent Soul Daoist of Snow Dragon Mountain, saying that the Ji family was under the protection of the Marquis of Anchan's mansion, and anyone who dared to cause trouble for the Ji family would be provoking the Marquis of Anchan's mansion!

After Xue Hongyi was driven away, the experts under Beishan Baiwei quickly ascertained the scale of the Yuan Stone mine below, and Beishan Baiwei, as previously agreed, quickly signed a contract on behalf of the Anchan Marquis's Mansion and the Ji Clan.

After signing the contract, Ji Jiuhuo, the patriarch of the Ji clan, planned to give 20% of the 30% of the Yuan Stone mine allocated to the Ji clan to Beishan Baiwei as a reward for Beishan Baiwei's protection of the Ji clan.

But Kitayama Hyakumi rejected him in the original storyline, so there's no need to say anything more now!
"It doesn't have to be this way!"

Bei Shan Baiwei immediately smiled and said, "Brother Ji Ning and I hit it off immediately. Your Ji family can rest assured that no one will exploit you in this Yuan Stone mine. No one dares to steal what belongs to my friend, Bei Shan Baiwei!"

friend?

After hearing Beishan Baiwei's words, Ji Ning felt a warmth in his heart.

"I will assign some soldiers to be in charge of excavating the entire Yuan Stone mine here!"

Beishan Baiwei continued, "Then your Ji family can send some more people to mine. The spirit stones they dig out can be handed over to the soldiers I have arranged!"

"Yes, young master!" Ji Jiuhuo quickly replied respectfully.

And just then...

"Cough!" Ji Yichuan, who had been exuding an extremely imposing aura not far away, suddenly weakened, and his face even turned deathly pale.

"Father!"

Upon hearing Ji Yichuan's cough, Ji Ning quickly turned to look at his father with concern.

Upon witnessing this scene, Kitayama Hyakumi was also quickly moved.

"According to the original plot of 'Desolate Era,' Ji Yichuan should be dying soon!"

Beishan Baiwei thought to himself, "But Brother Ji Ning is so devoted to me in the future. I didn't know before, but now that I do, I can't just sit idly by!"

Thinking of this, Beishan Baiwei quickly led his men to Ji Ning's side.

After a brief investigation by his subordinates, Beishan Baiwei quickly learned about Ji Yichuan's current situation.

He was on the verge of death because he had used many secret techniques to fight desperately, which exhausted his life force.

Under normal circumstances, Ji Yichuan would only have a month to live at most.

Upon learning this news, Ji Ning's heart instantly turned to despair.

After all, that's how her mother died back then. Although he is much stronger now, it is still impossible for him to obtain the longevity pills that only immortals can provide.

"This……"

Upon noticing Ji Ning's pained expression, Bei Shan Baiwei also felt a pang of sympathy.

But while his father, Beishan Heihu, might have a chance to produce such precious elixirs, he simply couldn't.

"Oh right, there's also the chat group!"

Suddenly, Beishan Baiwei had a thought: "According to what I know, the other people in the group come from different worlds, so they might have some treasures that can prolong life!"

Thinking of this, Beishan Baiwei quickly spoke up in the chat group.

[Beishan Baiwei: @Lu Qingshan, thank you for informing me about "Mang Huang Ji". If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask!]

[Lu Qingshan: @Beishan Baiwei, no need to be so polite. Now that we've all joined this chat group, we should naturally help each other out!]

[Lu Qingshan: I just don't know how far the plot has progressed on your end. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask!]

[Beishan Baiwei: I just met Brother Ji Ning for the first time. Before watching "Desolate Era," I truly never imagined that Brother Ji Ning's future would be so brilliant!]

[Beishan Baiwei: However, Brother Ji Ning's father is seriously injured. Without the help of miraculous medicine, he will only have a month to live at most!]

[Pang Bo: Serious injury? @BeishanBaiwei, Beishan brother, don't worry too much, it's just a small matter!]

[Yue Buqun: Yes! Many people in our group possess healing treasures, especially the group leader's treasures. Even the most severe injuries can be completely healed!]

The world of the Wilderness Era.

Upon seeing what Yue Buqun and Pang Bo said, Bei Shan Baiwei couldn't help but feel a hint of joy.

[Beishan Baiwei: @Lu Qingshan, group owner, please help me!]

[Beishan Baiwei: As long as you can help, I can exchange other treasures for it. Even if you can't collect enough treasures now, Ji Ning can help you collect them in the future!]

[Lu Qingshan: It's just a small matter, you don't need to worry about it too much!]

With a thought, Lu Qingshan quickly took out a vibrant green fruit from a world ring he carried with him.

[System notification: Lu Qingshan has uploaded the designated red envelope, containing one Azure Fruit!]

[Lu Qingshan: @Beishan Baiwei, this Azure Heaven Fruit should be enough to restore Ji Yichuan. If it doesn't work, I'll prepare other treasures for you!]

[System notification: Beishan Baiwei has received Lu Qingshan's designated red envelope!]

[Beishan Baiwei: Thank you, group owner!]

The world of the Wilderness Era.

Beishan Baiwei, who had just received the red envelope, was slightly taken aback when she saw the cyan pill that suddenly appeared in her hand.

"This chat group is truly amazing! It managed to deliver this pill to me so quietly! But..."

Beishan Baiwei looked at the ordinary-looking cyan pill in his hand, and then thought to himself, "Just this one pill is enough to completely restore Ji Yichuan?"

Although he still had some doubts, Beishan Baiwei quickly led Ji Ning and his son Ji Yichuan back to the warship.

"Young Master Baiwei!"

After seeing Beishan Baiwei dismiss the others, Ji Ning asked with considerable confusion, "What is this...?"

"Ji Ning!"

Beishan Baiwei reached out and presented the Azure Heaven Fruit he had just obtained to Ji Ning, then said gently, "This pill might be able to save your father's life. Why don't you give it a try?"

"This……"

After hearing Beishan Baiwei's words, Ji Ning was completely stunned.

It should be noted that when his mother was critically ill, he sought help from a Myriad Manifestations Immortal and even went to the Water Palace for assistance.

It was through this experience that he realized how difficult it was to save his father, Ji Yichuan.

So even though Beishan Baiwei was right in front of Ji Ning, he never thought of asking for help.

Firstly, it's unlikely that Beishan Baiwei would possess such a precious treasure, and secondly, he and Beishan Baiwei had only just met, so even if she did have such a treasure, it would be difficult for her to give it to him.

But now...

However, since Beishan Baiwei had already spoken, Ji Ning, though somewhat puzzled, still reached out and took the Azure Heaven Fruit, feeding it to his father, Ji Yichuan.

Just after Ji Yichuan swallowed the Azure Heaven Fruit, he instantly felt his body begin to heat up, as if he were under the scorching sun.

Immediately afterwards, a vibrant life force began to emerge within his body. Under the nurturing of this special life force, his injuries began to heal continuously, and his previously atrophied dantian was reopened.

Even Ji Yichuan's power began to increase continuously, as if he could carry enormous power with every move he made.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Yichuan's Purple Mansion continued to expand.

Suddenly...

Boom!

As the Purple Mansion space trembled, the entire Purple Mansion Sea began to undergo dramatic changes!

The stars are high in the sky, and the bright moon rises over the sea!

In an instant, two extraordinary phenomena of breaking through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm appeared simultaneously in Ji Yichuan's Purple Mansion. Although this was not as perfect as the simultaneous appearance of three extraordinary phenomena, it still meant that Ji Yichuan had broken through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm.

At the same time, a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth began to surge rapidly toward Ji Yichuan's location.

"This……"

Upon witnessing this, Ji Ning was completely stunned: "Father, Father actually broke through?"

Ji Yichuan, who was in the midst of his breakthrough, was completely stunned!
He was well aware of his physical condition. He had already exhausted his Purple Mansion and was destined to die within a month. However, after taking that cyan pill, he not only fully recovered from his injuries but also broke through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm.
"Thank you so much, Young Master Baiwei!"

Upon seeing Ji Yichuan's breakthrough, Ji Ning quickly bowed respectfully to Beishan Baiwei.

Although he still doesn't know why Beishan Baiwei would bring out such a precious treasure, he already regards Beishan Baiwei as his benefactor and friend.

At the same time, Ji Yichuan, who had already broken through, quickly bowed respectfully to Beishan Baiwei.

"Brother Ji Ning!"

Having recovered from Ji Yichuan's breakthrough, Beishan Baiwei quickly smiled and said, "We hit it off immediately, there's no need to be so polite with me!"
