Chapter 220: Leaving the Sect for Training
Since it has been decided, it’s time to go out and have a look.
Unfortunately, Ye Wuchen has not returned yet, so he cannot say goodbye to his Master, which is truly a pity.
As a disciple, he should bid farewell to his Master when leaving.
Of course, he wasn’t just concerned about the two sword energies; he was genuinely filial!
Upon arriving at the sect square, Ji Yang discovered that many disciples had already gathered there.
This puzzled Ji Yang, as he didn’t know what was happening.
But when he glanced around, he found that most of these disciples were only at the Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment, with the highest being in the mid Foundation Establishment stage, clearly having just recently become inner disciples.
Feeling the admiring gazes of the many disciples directed at him, Ji Yang had a bad feeling in his heart.
Could it be?
Before Ji Yang could land, an elder in the front of the crowd waved at him, signaling him to come over.
Ji Yang did not know the elder, but he recognized Elder Liu standing beside him.
It seemed that the elder calling him over held a higher position than Elder Liu.
“Just call me Elder Tian,” the elder said.
Ji Yang cupped his hands in respect:
“Greetings, Elder Tian.”
Elder Tian smiled and nodded kindly.
Normally, such a small matter would be handled by a casual servant sent by the Outer Affairs Office, but since Ji Yang was among the training disciples this time, the Sect Master was not at ease and directly sent Elder Tian along with two other elders to oversee the situation and ensure everything went smoothly.
Elder Tian felt it was necessary to personally see Ji Yang off.
As for the other disciples, they were confused about why an elder would come, but upon seeing Ji Yang, they quickly understood the reason.
Of course, most of these disciples were unaware of the real circumstances; even the mushroom incident from a few days ago had been brushed aside by the sect with other excuses.
Ji Yang held a good reputation among the new inner sect disciples; many of them had been promoted from the outer sect, and a small number had heard of Ji Yang’s just reputation.
“I will say a few words briefly,” Elder Tian said, raising his arm, and the crowd instantly quieted down.
“This time, I have come for your training outside the sect.”
“Our He Dao Sect has always valued unity, friendship, and mutual assistance in our training efforts…”
“So this time, the training will form groups of fifty disciples, with each group selecting a leading senior brother, and the specific choices will be made by you.”
“Alright, you may begin!”
As soon as Elder Tian finished speaking, a disciple shouted:
“I choose Senior Brother Ji! Senior Brother Ji is the one everyone trusts!”
“I also choose Senior Brother Ji; he dug for ore for the sect!”
“Senior Brother Ji also cultivated the spiritual grains for the sect!”
“Senior Brother Ji knows the sect rules very well!”
…
In an instant, many disciples began to gather towards Ji Yang’s direction.
Going out for training is certainly not very safe.
But with a genius like Ji Yang nearby, it feels much safer, especially since this Senior Brother is known for his righteousness. Even some unfamiliar disciples knew what to choose now.
At this moment, Ji Yang’s expression was complicated. Although he sensed something was off when Elder Tian waved earlier, he never expected this situation.
Who goes out for training in groups?
If they encounter demonic path cultivators, wouldn’t they be wiped out?
Thinking of this, Ji Yang quickly voiced his objections.
Elder Tian merely chuckled lightly:
“Training involves taking some risks; this is part of the path to becoming true heirs.”
“In the Cultivation World, it’s survival of the fittest. Besides, don’t you have this senior brother here? Look, so many disciples admire you! Ji Yang, you must ensure their safe return.”
Ji Yang wanted to say more, but Elder Tian did not give him the opportunity and immediately assigned all those who spoke to Ji Yang’s group.
“Alright, this training will last for three months.”
“In these three months, you must gather information about one or more demonic sects and report back when you return. The assessment of your tasks will depend on the quality of the information you gather.”
“Now, you may set off.”
As a large sect, even a typical training session involved hundreds of disciples.
Apart from Ji Yang’s group, there were several others.
The chosen senior brothers leading the other groups were all stable in their realms and quite reputable.
However, while other groups had only twenty to thirty members, Ji Yang’s group surprisingly had over a hundred people.
The difference was significant.
Elder Tian also disregarded everything else and allocated most of the disciples willing to choose Ji Yang to his group.
“Senior Brother Ji, please!”
Before long, a disciple actively summoned a large flying boat, gesturing for Ji Yang to board first.
Ji Yang sighed, feeling he had no chance to refuse.
At worst, he could act alone once they were outside.
Ji Yang stepped onto the magnificent flying boat, nodding slightly at it.
This flying artifact was clearly more majestic than those of the other groups, both in the materials used to craft it and the intricate formations carved upon it.
He just wondered which disciple it belonged to.
The sect? The sect would certainly not provide one proactively.
As Ji Yang boarded the boat, he unexpectedly encountered some familiar faces, which made him pause.
Aren’t those the Mining F4?
“Greetings, Senior Brother Ji.”
“Senior Brother Ji, hope you’re well.”
…
Ruan Yong’an and the others cupped their fists in greeting.
They referred to him as senior brother now instead of junior brother.
Though their realms were the same, Ruan Yong’an, He Feng, and the others understood that their talents were not on the same level; Ji Yang would eventually surpass them.
“It’s good to see you, fellow brothers.”
“Please, just call us junior brothers, Senior Brother Ji.”
Ji Yang smiled slightly, not paying it much mind.
He held a certain fondness for these few he met during his early days in the sect. When he was at a lower realm, they hadn’t taken advantage of him.
“Let’s go, Senior Brother Ji, we can talk inside.”
He Feng and the others stepped aside, indicating for Ji Yang to enter the interior of the flying boat.
On the way, several disciples who boarded the boat greeted him.
Among them, Ji Yang also encountered a few familiar figures—Kong Bai and Fang Zhan, whom he had defeated with his Heart Sword earlier.
As talents from the outer sect, after being defeated, they had swiftly reached the Foundation Establishment stage and were now out for training.
Seeing Ji Yang, they also cupped their fists to greet him, their expressions mixed.
Though they were also Foundation Establishment stage disciples and at the same realm as Ji Yang, they found it hard to treat him like an ordinary peer.
Who had seen a Foundation Establishment stage disciple battling a Golden Core? Fighting law enforcement cultivators? Defying elders?
Ji Yang paid it little mind. His current Early Stage of Yuan Ying realm would be far superior if revealed compared to ordinary inner disciples.
Upon entering the interior of the flying boat, there was a formation hub used to control the vessel.
Ruan Yong’an asked, “Senior Brother Ji, are we ready to set off?”
“Let’s go.”
