Chapter 139: I’ll Come Again
However, even so, Ji Yang remained uninterested.
Facing the upgraded energy of the earth demons, Ji Yang simply unleashed a stronger Fireball Technique.
As the figure dissipated, Ji Yang resumed his mining.
Cultivation +1
Physique +1
Agility +1
…
Just when Ji Yang was thoroughly enjoying his mining, deep within the Xuan Iron Mine, an ancient ruin lay quietly buried beneath the mountain.
Ruined walls and collapsed structures painted a vivid picture of desolation in this place.
Zooming in, within an ancient room, countless rare magical tools and various treasures came into view.
Yet, after countless years had passed, the originally radiant and brilliant artifacts had now lost their shine, leaving behind only silence and decay!
Among the many artifacts, only an old copper mirror still bore a dim glimmer, but it was extremely faint.
Moments later, a burst of intense light erupted from the ancient copper mirror. After the light vanished, a familiar figure appeared on the mirror’s surface.
It was Ji Yang, lost in his mining.
“Cackling…”
A low, hoarse, eerie laugh echoed from the ancient copper mirror, followed by whispered words:
“With such talent, he is perfect! It’s time for my luck to turn!”
“Not interested? Hmph! Everyone has their weaknesses!”
“I’ll come again!”
…
In the mine, Ji Yang felt something stir within him and looked around, a hint of surprise on his face.
He sensed an unusual feeling, but everything seemed normal as he glanced about.
Ji Yang shook his head slightly; how could he let his thoughts wander while mining? That was too careless of him!
He continued to swing his iron pick when suddenly, sounds of a bagpipe floated in from afar.
Indeed, it was the sound of a bagpipe! Besides that, there were also strings and flutes, with the harmonious mix of melodies forming a piece of celestial music.
The sound grew closer, piercing into the mine.
Ji Yang turned to see, utterly amazed!
The previously scattered shadows had now reformed, and in addition, several elegant figures of girls had gathered.
These figures floated up and down, and with the celestial music, they began to dance gracefully.
Though insubstantial, the dance’s effect was even more enchanting, touching the heart deeply.
The beautiful dance captivated Ji Yang, making him unable to look away for a moment.
In life, one only lives for a hundred years; instead of spending so much time laboring in cultivation, why not enjoy the pleasures of the world?
This way, he would have no regrets in death.
The path to greatness is indeed as challenging as reaching the heavens.
Such thoughts suddenly flashed through Ji Yang’s mind.
He paused for a moment and nodded; it was true, the dance was indeed splendid. To enjoy such days, he needed to work harder at mining to strive for ascension sooner.
With this in mind, Ji Yang’s gaze became calm as the iron pick in his hand erupted with white light, destroying all the surrounding shadows one by one as he swung the pick repeatedly.
As the shadows were obliterated, white light also burst forth from another copper mirror.
When the white light faded, Ji Yang’s figure reappeared on the ancient copper mirror.
A hoarse and angry voice came from the mirror:
“Hmph, how can he remain unmoved by beauty!”
“I’ll use more methods next time!”
…
Cultivation +1
Agility +1
Strength +1
Superior flying sword +1
…
While mining and collecting various Light Points, Ji Yang nodded in admiration.
This was indeed the sect’s Xuan Iron Mine, and the harvest was better than when he had been at the Ziying Mine. It was a pity that he hadn’t yet mined any purple or golden Light Points; that was somewhat regrettable.
However, upon reflection, Ji Yang felt that he no longer needed those things. He had no significant shortcomings now, and his only weakness was his low level of cultivation. Mining more blue Light Points was the most important task.
Once his level increased, the other things would naturally follow.
Before long, more sounds emerged behind Ji Yang.
“Purple Mansion Immortal Scripture, great knowledge is vast, minor knowledge is petty; great words are fervent, minor words are trivial. In sleep, the soul connects; in awakening, the body opens…”
Ji Yang initially didn’t want to listen, but the voice was unavoidable, piercing directly into his ears.
Hearing the fragmented phrases nearby, Ji Yang was somewhat surprised. This seemed different from the previous nonsense; it sounded like a genuine cultivation technique.
The earlier seemingly extraordinary words were actually jumbled and meaningless, mere distractions for the mind.
After listening for a bit, Ji Yang shook his head repeatedly:
“What nonsense! This Purple Mansion Immortal Scripture can only reach the Tribulation Crossing stage!
Let alone the Feather Transformation Ascension Skill, even the Supreme Sword Energy that Ye Wuchen gave him is likely better.
Such a worthless technique is bold enough to be shared. Even though the phrases got slower towards the end, Ji Yang lost interest and launched another attack to extinguish the shadow reciting the scripture behind him.
Bang, bang, bang…
Cultivation +1…
Listening to Ji Yang’s complaints, the ancient copper mirror trembled!
A mere Golden Core disciple, so arrogant, that he even looks down on such Techniques.
After a brief tremor, the ancient copper mirror, undeterred, raised its voice slightly:
"I will come again!"
Before Ji Yang could mine for long, a shadow appeared behind him again.
Noticing the gathering shadow, Ji Yang focused, sensing that the shadows seemed to condense together faster this time.
Could it be because it was evening? The energy of the earth demons was more active.
Never mind, it would only take a moment.
Just as Ji Yang prepared to deal with it, a mysterious voice echoed in his ears:
"Born as a cloud dragon, the Dao ascends, spreading righteous energy, radiant in purity, assisting the righteous path, walking the straight path…"
Ji Yang calmed his mind; this was a True Immortal-Level Technique called the Three Sovereigns Dao Scripture!
Ji Yang smirked.
He already had a True Immortal-Level Technique and needed no more; he didn’t plan to cultivate two techniques, not to mention that this shadow was wasting time—who knew how long it would take to finish?
With that time, he might as well mine more from the Xuan Iron Mine.
"Just mediocre!"
Ji Yang said lightly, then struck again, further wearing down the shadow.
"This vexes me! A mere child! How dare you toy with me!"
"I will come again!"
…
"Jingling!"
A bright ringing of a bell suddenly echoed in the mine, signaling all disciples to exit the mine.
Already overwhelmed and pursued by the energy of the earth demons, the disciples heard the heavenly sound and hurriedly fled from the mine.
Some of the disciples with lower cultivation levels had not mined at all; they spent the entire night running for their lives.
This was because they were unsure of the truth in Elder Lu’s words and feared the energy of the earth demons invading their bodies.
Even some Golden Core disciples, despite having Yu Li, did not linger. Although they had some strength, the disturbances from the energy of the earth demons left them with unspoken frustrations. They decided to leave and see how Elder Lu handled the disciples infested by the energy of the earth demons, which would also help them decide whether to return later that night.
Hearing the bell, Ji Yang stopped his actions. Although he was not directly affected by the energy of the earth demons, to ensure he could return to mine later, he still needed to step out and take some measures to prevent other disciples from dropping in cultivation level.
This had been prearranged, and Ji Yang had no intention of backing out.
