Chapter 222: Pause
Seeing all the disciples looking at him, Ji Yang’s plan to enjoy the scenery was disrupted.
He decided it would be better to return to his room and rest.
Upon reaching the second floor of the flying boat, there were several luxurious lofts.
A disciple led Ji Yang to the most magnificent loft and then stopped,
“Senior Brother Ji, this is it.”
Ji Yang nodded and walked into the room.
The room was exquisitely decorated and very spacious, occupying one-third of the second floor.
The bed and chairs were made of smooth beast skins, and not just any ordinary beast, but the skins of spiritual beasts. The walls of the room were adorned with various intricate paintings.
The furniture was made of rosewood, and in the corner, there was refreshing incense burning.
Besides all this, there was a huge window with a wide view, allowing a full panorama of the outside.
Had he known this place existed, he wouldn’t have needed to go to the deck to look around.
This scene made Ji Yang sigh.
After practicing for so long, he realized he hadn’t really enjoyed himself at all.
As a “true heir” of Jingtan Peak, he was living in a shabby thatched hut.
What he saw now was just ordinary in the eyes of other Foundation Establishment stage disciples.
It’s important to know that they were cultivators; even a Qi Refinement stage disciple could enjoy endless wealth in the Mortal World, revered as a celestial teacher by mortals, with the ability to traverse the world.
So others naturally couldn’t understand Ji Yang’s feelings.
After a brief moment of surprise, Ji Yang returned to his natural state.
In the Cultivation World, strength is paramount; overly pursuing external matters would limit one’s ability to break through to higher realms. Even if his cultivation level didn’t decline, his mindset would become clouded, making progress difficult.
If there were spiritual energy-enhancing objects, it was as if he hadn’t mentioned it.
“Senior Brother Ji, we’ll wait outside; just let us know if you have any requests.”
Outside the room, two disciples clasped their hands in respect.
Ji Yang didn’t want to say much, so he tossed two Yun Ling Dans to the two.
Perfect! This item could be used to recruit followers.
These pills were of no use to him now; they could at most serve as bait and rewards for disciples.
Feeling the rich spiritual energy in the pills, the two disciples’ faces lit up with joy:
“Thank you for granting us the pills, Senior Brother.”
This made other disciples who were walking away envious, and they began discussing again:
“Senior Brother Ji is not only gentle and refined but also treats people generously.”
“Being able to follow Senior Brother Ji, our achievements are limitless.”
“Especially since we heard Senior Brother Ji has a technique to cut through the realms; I wonder when we will personally experience this technique.”
“Speaking of this technique, in the past, I specifically went to the outer sect to seek advice from a junior disciple who followed Senior Brother Ji. It is said that this junior has already reached the Second Slash Realm, but unfortunately, he heard he was punished and sent to the mine.”
…
He Dao Sect.
In the spiritual field of Feng Ling Valley,
“Elder Li, the opportunity has come.”
“Now that Ji Yang is out practicing and has left the sect, it’s time for you to take action. Once you succeed, take the token and Ji Yang’s identification artifact, and you can report to our Heaven Demon Sect.”
Upon hearing the news, Elder Li’s face showed joy:
“He’s gone out?”
Then he furrowed his brow slightly:
“Since it’s a sect outing, doesn’t that mean he isn’t alone?”
“Hmph, if he were alone, why would I involve you? Wouldn’t it be easy to deal with him?”
“Now that Ji Yang has left the sect, if you don’t act, others will. If you’re unwilling to take action, that’s fine; I can have someone else do it. But I fear you won’t be able to enter the Heaven Demon Sect afterward.”
Hearing the man’s words, Elder Li’s expression darkened.
Indeed, he couldn’t turn back now. With Ji Yang’s identity in his hands, he had essentially sealed his own fate. If a demonic path cultivator dealt with him, he would find himself in a difficult position on both sides.
After a moment of thought, Elder Li responded:
“Alright, I understand. We’ll meet at the Heaven Demon Sect.”
Watching Elder Li’s departing figure, the man chuckled softly, his laughter laced with endless mockery.
…
Two days later.
Outside Ji Yang’s door, a disciple called out:
“Senior Brother Ji, we have arrived at Qing Feng Mountain. There is a trading market here; do you need to rest before continuing on your journey?”
“Sure!”
With Ji Yang’s command relayed,
Three spiritual boats hovered outside the market.
Some disciples immediately entered the market to begin purchasing cultivation items.
Others, who were skilled in cultivating energy skills, calmly waited on the flying boats.
In the market, many cultivators looked at the three large flying boats hovering outside with astonished expressions and began to discuss among themselves.
Although the market wasn’t large, it was still monitored by a sect.
As for wild markets, they couldn’t operate without proper backing from a powerful force.
Outside the market, parking spiritual boats was not allowed; this is the rule of this market!
Who would dare to be so bold?
Immediately, formations began to stir within the market, and cultivators floated up, preparing for battle.
But when they saw the newcomers wearing the inner sect disciple’s attire of the He Dao Sect, they quickly fell silent. Many cultivators also withdrew their gazes and no longer dared to stare.
A disciple from a large sect was not someone they could offend.
Even if it were just an inner disciple of a large sect, with so many inner disciples present, it was clear they were on a major mission. They didn’t know if there were any powerful figures hidden on the flying boats; if they offended them, they could be killed without a chance to explain.
Once many disciples disembarked from the spiritual boat, a Golden Core stage cultivator quickly soared into the air, heading toward the spiritual boat where Ji Yang was.
This Golden Core stage cultivator was quite old, with a kind smile, and he immediately recognized that important figures were on the spiritual boat in the center.
Seeing the old man approach, the disciples immediately stood respectfully, but there was no fear in their eyes toward the high-level cultivator; instead, one of them shouted:
“Who goes there? Please halt!”
With Senior Brother Ji present,
What was there to fear?
Moreover, the person before them was just a Golden Core stage cultivator. Even if Senior Brother Ji didn’t take action, the other inner disciples on their spiritual boat wouldn’t be overly afraid.
After all, during this trip, before reaching the territory of the demonic path, they represented the sect.
Facing such a rebuke, the Golden Core stage cultivator did not show any displeasure; instead, his smile grew wider:
“I am a disciple of the Tian Ming Sect, temporarily overseeing this market. I wonder what brings you, friends from He Dao Sect, to our market?”
Several disciples frowned:
“Of course, we are here to buy things. Is it not allowed for disciples of He Dao Sect to enter this market?”
Upon hearing this, the disciples all displayed fierce expressions, ready to act if there was any disagreement.
The old man’s expression changed, and he was about to explain himself when Ji Yang’s voice came from the spiritual boat:
“Alright, my fellow disciples, go quickly and come back swiftly. Do not cause trouble in this market.”
“There is no need to worry, friend; we will not take long.”
As Ji Yang’s words echoed, the other disciples ceased their talk and walked into the market.
Seeing this, the old man hurriedly cupped his hands in welcome, feeling much more at ease.
His Tian Ming Sect was just a small sect; they couldn’t afford to offend a large sect like He Dao Sect.
He had long heard that cultivators from large sects had an air of arrogance, and witnessing it today was indeed true.
However, the senior inside the spiritual boat was very kind; he wondered which important figure from He Dao Sect it was to have so many inner disciples accompanying him on this journey.
