Chapter 32: Sect Law Transmission

Looking at the crowd that had dispersed, Ji Yang sighed.

Wu Yun hadn’t come, and now his plan to enter the mining site was ruined.

Wasn’t this just wasting his training time?

However, when Ji Yang opened his panel, he discovered that the status item "Heaven’s Jealousy" had vanished without him noticing.

Could this be the small difficulty?

How useless!

Ji Yang sighed inwardly.

To get to mining sooner, Ji Yang wandered around the sect in crowded places over the next few days.

Not for any other reason, but to seek justice and help the weak!

But his duel with Fang Zhan quickly spread among the observing disciples, and Ji Yang’s name became more famous among the outer disciples, with many top outer disciples hearing of the event.

Many even proclaimed a challenge to Ji Yang in the duel arena.

But in the duel arena, the fights were fair, and winners faced no punishment. Ji Yang ignored all these challenges and continued searching for those who had made mistakes among his senior and junior brothers!

With the mere shadow of a person and the bark of a tree, many outer disciples already recognized Ji Yang.

Whenever they saw him approaching, they became extremely anxious, fearing that one wrong glance could end with their swords drawn at them.

Fighting others would only get them hurt, but fighting Ji Yang would risk them losing their cultivation level.

To add to this, the story had been distorted, evolving to the point where it was said that the law enforcement hall had connections with Ji Yang; fighting with him outside would surely lead to being caught and punished.

Upon hearing this news, Ji Yang felt quite speechless. He indeed wanted to have connections with the law enforcement hall, but that was just to mine unconditionally, which was obviously impossible. He was a genius—how could he not focus on training and instead think about being punished? Such behavior was not normal!

“Hello, Senior Ji.”

While some feared him, others admired him.

Just as he approached the Law Transmission Hall, an outer disciple at the first level of Qi Refinement nodded and greeted him, while others nearby curiously peeked at Ji Yang.

They wanted to see what made Ji Yang so different.

But apart from being a bit handsome, he seemed no different from them—having just two normal eyes.

According to the traditions of the He Dao Sect, disciples like them, who had just joined, were bound to be bullied and suppressed by the older generation of disciples.

These were the unspoken rules; apart from a few exceptional talents who could avoid such rules, most others had no way to escape. These matters could not even be addressed by sect rules.

When news spread about Ji Yang’s ability to fight above his level and his previous encounter with Wuzhen, many disciples who had only joined last year began to see Ji Yang as a role model.

Even in their walk, they seemed to gain confidence. If Senior Ji Yang could fight above his level, why couldn’t they?

Some disciples, undeterred by power, even dared to attack their seniors, only to get beaten up and then caught by the law enforcement hall, ending up in the mining site with a miserable fate.

This made many recognize the gap between themselves and Ji Yang, but their admiration for him grew even more fervent.

“Hmm.”

In response to his junior’s greeting, Ji Yang smiled and nodded.

But inwardly, he sighed again.

These past few days, Ji Yang had wanted to see if there were any unfair happenings. However, whether they were seniors or juniors, everyone greeted him so kindly that he had no opportunity to take action.

But today was different; today marked the weekly sect law transmission time!

A highly respected elder would explain the principles and applications of spells to the many disciples. As long as they were sect disciples, whether outer or inner, they could attend, and the best part was that it was free.

Therefore, during this weekly law transmission, many outer disciples who were in seclusion for training would make sure to arrive on time, not wanting to miss this golden opportunity!

However, the main audience for the law transmission was still these outer disciples, as the inner disciples had already cultivated their techniques and had more questions about their training.

Still, each peak also held one or several special law transmission sessions for inner disciples each month.

This was an invisible benefit that came with joining different peaks; for instance, the law transmission at Jixian Peak typically involved elders explaining the path of crafting tools.

However, during every sect law transmission, there remained quite a few inner disciples who came to listen!

To catch this law transmission, Ji Yang had arrived early.

On one hand, he genuinely wanted to hear the elders’ insights on spells; on the other hand, he wanted to take advantage of the crowd and seek opportunities.

Ji Yang got there early, but to his surprise, others had arrived even earlier.

After greeting a few junior brothers, Ji Yang noticed that the better front-row seats had already been occupied by other disciples, with some disciples seemingly rooted to the ground as if they hadn’t left since the previous day.

“Senior Ji, over here! There’s an open seat!”

A disciple still in the Sensing stage shouted as soon as he saw Ji Yang, quickly moving to clear his spot and inviting Ji Yang to sit.

Ji Yang was taken aback, not expecting such treatment.

But Ji Yang politely declined, saying, “Thank you for your kindness, junior brother.”

With that, Ji Yang found an empty spot in the back row and sat down.

“A mere second level of Qi Refinement, and he’s acting more important than the other seniors.”

“Exactly! He thinks he’s something great just because he defeated an unremarkable Seventh level of Qi Refinement.”

Some outer disciples recognized Ji Yang and whispered disdainfully, though they dared not speak too loudly for fear Ji Yang would hear them.

As long as the insults weren’t too extreme, Ji Yang didn’t care.

Yet, seeing Fang Zhan go from being renowned to just an unremarkable Seventh level of Qi Refinement left Ji Yang rather emotional.

“Lu Junior Sister, is that Ji Yang?”

Far away, a short-haired youth with an arrogant expression asked the girl beside him.

The girl was Lu Wuxue, who had been tested for exceptional talent and accepted as a disciple by Yaoji!

In just over a year, she had reached the Fourth level of Qi Refinement!

Although aided by pills and spiritual grains, her talent was indeed impressive.

Listening to the short-haired youth’s question, Lu Wuxue glanced at Ji Yang not far away and felt a hint of regret upon seeing that he was only at the Second level of Qi Refinement.

It seemed the rumors were true; Peak Master Ye from Jingtan Peak was a hard worker.

Given this, it was only normal for Ji Yang to defeat enemies above his level; a low cultivation level wasn’t a lie either.

“Hmm.”

After taking a look, Lu Wuxue withdrew her gaze and lightly nodded.

The youth beside her was called Lei Ming; he shared the same cultivation level as her, both at the Fourth level of Qi Refinement, and they were also newcomers of the same batch, both possessing exceptional talent. He had joined Denglong Peak after being sent for the Third Stage test by an elder midway.

So, naturally, he had joined Denglong Peak without doubt; with both having exceptional talents and the good relationship between their two peaks, they got along well and often shared insights on their training.

After receiving her response, Lei Ming lamented, “What a shame. I didn’t get to witness the glory of this child of Heaven’s Jealousy.”

Although he said it was a shame, his face was filled with disdain. Even though rumors stated that Ji Yang had recently defeated a senior brother at the Seventh level of Qi Refinement, he didn’t care at all.

In the Cultivation World, cultivation level was everything.

All were still at the Qi Refinement stage, just differing by minor levels. While he may not be able to defeat Ji Yang now, as long as he advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, the Golden Core stage, or even higher levels, what did it matter how formidable Ji Yang was? Could he really cross several great levels to fight?

One must realize that the gap between major levels could not be compensated for by mere amounts of spiritual energy; it was an insurmountable chasm.

Moreover, who knew how long a talent like Heaven’s Jealousy could survive?

Lei Ming’s gaze fixed on Ji Yang, his eyes hiding an indescribable jealousy.

Originally, he should have been the most dazzling person of this batch, but because Ji Yang’s talent shone forth, he had been overshadowed by Ji Yang’s departure.

After hearing other disciples discussing Ji Yang, Lei Ming’s heart burned with resentment!

Why, why must you steal the glory that rightfully belongs to me!
