Chapter 119: Happy

Ji Yang suppressed his excitement and lightly turned his head to look while already taking out the book titled "He Dao Sect Rules" and flipping through it.

As he reviewed the sect rules, he also reinforced his previous knowledge.

After all, learning anew comes from reviewing the old!

Ji Yang flipped through the pages while glancing at the person who spoke:

"Is there something you need, Senior Brother?"

Noticing the joy he could not hide on Ji Yang’s face along with the sect rules he was reviewing, the senior brother from Flying Phoenix Peak looked puzzled, with a hint of bewilderment.

What does it mean that you have the sect rules out?

Feeling Ji Yang’s eagerness, as if he was about to draw his sword any moment to challenge him with a question, "Do you think my sword is sharp?"

This made the Flying Phoenix Peak senior brother feel nervous.

Clearly, he was in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, while Ji Yang was only in the Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment. Why did he feel like he was the one in the Initial Stage?

Moreover, he only wanted to ask Junior Brother Ji a question; why did it feel like a fight was about to break out?

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the senior brother from Flying Phoenix Peak cautiously asked:

"May I ask, Senior Brother Ji, is it true that the sword rumored among the outer disciples can really enhance one’s realm?"

At this moment, he referred to Ji Yang as Senior Brother instead of Junior Brother.

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Ji Yang, their eyes filled with curiosity and inquiry. The rumor spread widely among the outer sect that after Ji Yang had struck, his realm not only remained stable but even increased.

However, most inner disciples were skeptical and eager to find out if the rumor was true.

As for the outer disciples, many didn’t believe the rumor due to its exaggerated nature.

Yet now, with the person in question present, they could verify it.

Upon hearing this, the joy on Ji Yang’s face faded.

He had been overly delighted, thinking this senior brother wanted to challenge him!

"Just a rumor!"

Ji Yang responded lightly, then slowly began to walk outside.

The others watched him move slowly, a hint of confusion in their eyes.

Why walk when he could fly?

Some disciples showed hesitation, wanting to stand shoulder to shoulder with this prodigy, but after some thought, they abandoned that idea. They lacked the confidence to defeat Ji Yang.

For a talent like him, one must have absolute confidence; otherwise, failure was certain.

"Alas!"

Many disciples sighed, conceding defeat before even fighting. They no longer saw themselves as worthy to challenge someone with Talent Jealousy.

As Ji Yang walked ahead, he slowed down again but didn’t hear anyone saying "Junior Brother, please wait," leaving his figure a bit lonely.

The Flying Phoenix Peak senior brother wore a strange expression; why did he feel that this Senior Brother Ji seemed disappointed?

…

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Ruan, on reaching the Foundation Establishment stage!"

"Sigh, compared to Junior Brother He, I’m still quite behind!"

The two people approaching exchanged compliments. Both had reached the Foundation Establishment stage from the Qi Refinement stage, and today they had agreed to enter the inner sect together!

"What about the other two Junior Brothers?"

He Feng asked, feeling a sense of pride.

Previously, Ruan Yong’an was two realms higher than him, but while mining at the site, he had advanced to the Eighth Level of Qi Refinement. Afterward, he gained some fortune, and now their realms were equal.

"The other two Junior Brothers are still in seclusion, probably for some time. Let’s become inner disciples first today!"

"That sounds good!"

After a brief moment of discussion, they headed toward the inner sect together.

"By the way, Senior Brother Ruan, have you heard any news about Junior Brother Ji?"

On the way, He Feng couldn’t help but ask.

Ruan Yong’an shook his head:

"I just came out of seclusion and don’t have detailed news about Junior Brother Ji at the moment."

"However, I heard that a True Dragon appeared in the sect, and it seems this incident is related to Junior Brother Ji."

"Hmm?"

He Feng’s expression turned serious upon hearing this.

They had felt the formidable presence of the True Dragon while in seclusion, even though they were in intense training. But he hadn’t expected it to be connected to Junior Brother Ji.

"Junior Brother Ji is a true talent; it’s no surprise he made some noise."

"But Junior Brother Ji is broad-minded and pure-hearted, so that must be right."

"Indeed, indeed. This likely doesn’t have much to do with Junior Brother Ji."

The two nodded in agreement.

…

The inner sect was not far from the outer sect, but the differences between them were enormous.

Without entering the inner sect, one could never touch the core of the He Dao Sect.

Ji Yang walked towards the main hall of the He Dao Sect, and everyone he encountered had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, with the occasional Golden Core disciples appearing.

This showed the strength of the He Dao Sect and made Ji Yang deeply feel his own inadequacy. Although he was in the Mid Golden Core stage, he had joined the sect not long ago, making it difficult to reveal his true strength.

Even if he did show it, he might not stand out among the other disciples. Even a position of true inheritance might not be his, and he needed to remain low-key for a while!

This thought strengthened Ji Yang’s desire to go to the mining site for further training. Now that spiritual grains had been planted at Jingtan Peak, once he completed his training, he could collect another batch of White Light Points to enhance his physique!

After a few more attempts, his strength would surely improve steadily.

However, Ji Yang walked for quite a distance and did not see any inner disciples facing difficulties, which was vastly different from the outer sect.

In fact, this was because the number of inner disciples was only one-tenth of that of the outer sect. Additionally, many disciples were diligently cultivating at various peaks, and few would come out to wander, giving Ji Yang the illusion that it was deserted.

Looking at the empty surroundings, Ji Yang frowned slightly. In such a large sect, where were the strong figures?

Just as Ji Yang prepared to rise into the air and investigate the situation, he heard voices of argument not far away. This piqued his interest, and he immediately rushed towards the sound.

Before getting close, he saw many people gathered, and voices began to emerge:

"Senior Brother Lu, you’ve gone too far!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, what is Junior Brother Wen saying! I didn’t force Junior Sister Lin; ask her, she willingly became my Dao partner!"

Listening to the whispers around him, Ji Yang squeezed into the crowd, a hint of curiosity on his face.

It turned out he had the potential to be a bystander.

As Ji Yang entered the crowd, he saw the two people talking. Both were inner disciples from the same peak, and their clothes bore the emblem of Songluan Peak.

Songluan Peak is one of the Twelve Peaks of the He Dao Sect.

This peak did not have any special features and was less notable than the others; it was not famous within the sect.

However, it was still one of the Twelve Peaks, and even though it was average, it was more renowned than Jingtan Peak.

One of the two was in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, while the other was in the Mid Foundation Establishment stage, a small difference in strength.

At that moment, the Mid Foundation Establishment disciple glared angrily and continued speaking:

"You’re talking nonsense! Junior Sister Lin and I are childhood friends. We promised to walk the path to greatness together, and you must have threatened her family to make her comply with you!"

"As a sect disciple, your actions are despicable! This is a disgrace to our He Dao Sect!"
