Chapter 504: I Am Really Leaving

After listening to Xuan Qing’s account, Ji Yang looked surprised.

It seemed that the True Spirits of heaven and earth could foresee some unknown crises.

"When are you planning to leave? Don’t forget to take some spiritual grains back with you."

Ji Yang asked with a smile.

Xuan Qing appeared touched.

If it weren’t for the family’s winter slumber requiring a change of location, he would have preferred to stay on Jingtan Peak.

But unfortunately, he had to consider his family; he could not just think of himself.

"Why don’t you come back to the family with me?"

"My Xuanwu clan has a very secretive place for winter slumber; once we enter, no one can find us, and it is certainly safe there."

According to the family’s Transmission, this crisis would definitely involve the Cultivation World; even these elite sects could not remain uninvolved, and they might not be as safe.

In terms of hiding, the Xuanwu clan had quite a lot of experience.

Xuan Qing looked hopeful, waiting for Ji Yang’s response.

But Ji Yang just gazed around at the spiritual fields and then smiled, saying,

"Where my heart finds peace, there is my home."

Xuan Qing sighed within but did not persuade him further.

Instead, he took out another piece of dark-colored, somewhat worn turtle shell from his own shell.

"If you wish to come, just infuse some energy into this; I will be able to sense it."

Seeing Xuan Qing’s serious expression, Ji Yang nodded as he accepted the turtle shell,

"Alright!"

The next day, after bidding farewell to Little Black and Little White, Xuan Qing left the He Dao Sect with the spiritual grains from Jingtan Peak.

Among those spiritual grains, Ji Yang also included some Yun Ling Dan as compensation for Xuan Qing’s hard work on Jingtan Peak.

Little Black and Little White also looked saddened.

Although they had always found Xuan Qing somewhat displeasing, they had been together for a long time, and there were still some feelings among them.

However, upon learning that Xuan Qing was taking a lot of spiritual grains with him, their expressions changed immediately.

It was one thing to leave, but why take the spiritual grains?

What about the two of them left on the peak? Did he intend to starve them?

That night, the Bright Moon shone in the sky, with countless stars dotting the darkness.

At the Clear Pond beneath Jingtan Peak, a figure emerged from the water, gazing at the moonlight with a dazed look in its eyes, filled with a trace of nostalgia, as if trapped in some memory.

"Do you want to go back?"

At that moment, the sound of a voice behind broke the surrounding silence.

Little White was suddenly startled and turned around quickly, only to find Ji Yang standing quietly by the Clear Pond, smiling at her.

Upon seeing Ji Yang, Little White’s expression returned to normal, but she did not respond, just a hint of disappointment shining in her eyes.

Although he was also a True Spirit like Xuan Qing, he had been captured, which set him apart from Xuan Qing.

Moreover, he didn’t think Ji Yang would agree to let him leave; after all, which family would release a True Spirit of heaven and earth?

For the past ten years, the spiritual fish in the Clear Pond had nearly mutated under his influence, their spiritual energy much stronger than before.

Just as Little White prepared to dive under the Clear Pond, a storage bag suddenly flew toward her.

Little White instantly bit onto it, and when she saw the spiritual grains and pills inside the storage bag, she looked at Ji Yang with a puzzled expression.

"Go back and take a look. After some time, when the Cultivation World settles down, you can return."

"Consider it a vacation."

Ji Yang said casually.

Though Little White usually hid her talents, for the last six months, she had stayed in the pond, not even coming out when it rained.

During the day, when Xuan Qing left, Little White appeared indifferent, but a trace of envy showed in her eyes.

Although she was a True Spirit of heaven and earth, they were still in their youth. Compared to human lifespans, they were only about ten years old, so longing for home was natural.

While Ji Yang was somewhat strict, the current situation in the Cultivation World was different. He wasn’t entirely sure he could ensure her safety, so it would be better to let her return to her family.

"Are you really letting me go?"

Little White asked, uncertain as she held the storage bag.

"Of course, it’s true."

Ji Yang nodded firmly.

Little White remained skeptical, slowly floating into the air. After leaving the Clear Pond, she turned back to ask again,

"So, I’m really leaving?"

Ji Yang didn’t answer.

Little White rose a little higher,

"Am I really leaving? You better not go back on your word."

Ji Yang looked speechless and turned to head for the peak.

Seeing this, Little White felt no more worries; she realized Ji Yang was serious this time.

Excited at the thought of returning to her family, Little White found it hard to express her feelings.

In the next moment, a clear and bright dragon roar echoed around them.

In an instant, the winds and rains surged at Jingtan Peak, and Little White soared into the sky, occasionally revealing a hint of gold amidst the clouds and rain.

“Phoenix rests on the parasol tree, dragon soars to the nine heavens,” after hiding in Jingtan Peak for ten years, she finally felt a sense of liberation.

Though Ji Yang said she could return, whether she came back was still up to her.

Evidently, Ji Yang truly intended to let her leave.

Furthermore, now that she had made some accomplishments in her cultivation, she would certainly stand out among the younger generation when she returned to her family.

As the dragon roar spread, countless disciples from the He Dao Sect turned their gazes toward Jingtan Peak.

Some of the more experienced disciples were not surprised; after all, the presence of a True Dragon on Jingtan Peak was not a secret. With Ye Wuchen around, no one dared to approach Jingtan Peak for a closer look.

Looking at the shimmering gold above their heads, Many Disciples were in awe, surprised that the young dragon of the past now displayed such grandeur.

Its level of growth surpassed that of other practitioners in the same realm.

Even the sect elders were impressed by what they saw.

True Spirits truly are favored by heaven!

Some newly initiated disciples stood frozen in shock.

Did the books not say that True Spirits were hard to find?

Why did the sect raise a True Dragon?

Countless disciples showed a longing in their eyes. In that moment, their sense of belonging to the sect grew much stronger.

If even such a True Spirit was nurtured in the He Dao Sect, the sect’s strength was easy to imagine.

Little White moved swiftly, disappearing into the sea of clouds in the blink of an eye.

The He Dao Sect did not intervene; this True Dragon made such a grand display, clearly approved by Jingtan Peak.

Furthermore, this True Dragon had been captured by Ye Wuchen back in the day, but now, the situation was unclear. However, it had little impact on the sect.

Li Daoyi was currently too busy to concern himself with such trivial matters.

As Little White departed, a shiny golden scale slowly floated down from the sky toward Ji Yang.

Ji Yang reached out to catch the scale, smiled lightly, and then stored it in the Heaven’s Secret Pearl.

When Ji Yang reached the peak, he immediately heard Xu Yiheng’s exclamation:

"Senior Brother, a True Dragon!"

"Did you see it?"

"It seems that True Dragon really flew away from the pond beneath our Jingtan Peak!"

"We really have a dragon at our Jingtan Peak!"

Xu Yiheng spoke excitedly, his face filled with enthusiasm.

He often drank water at the Clear Pond below the peak; perhaps that True Dragon had been watching him with wide eyes back then.

The thought excited Xu Yiheng, but unfortunately, he hadn’t seen the True Dragon clearly enough.

"Stop daydreaming and focus on cultivating your land. Once your level is higher, you can catch one yourself."

Ji Yang’s words left Xu Yiheng momentarily speechless, and he let out a silent sigh.

Senior Brother Ji was great in many ways, but he was just too unreliable when he spoke, and he seemed to mention farming every three sentences.

How high must his level be to catch a True Spirit?
