Chapter 87: I, Wuzhen, Will Enter the Third Slash Realm!
Looking at Jingtan Peak behind him, Ji Yang took out a flying sword and headed toward Tianxing Lake.
Now that he was at the Seventh level of Qi Refinement, of course, he would fly with the sword; it had nothing to do with looking cool!
Just as Ji Yang was leaving Jingtan Peak, Wuzhen in the outer sect residence was taken aback, rising in surprise:
"You mean Senior Brother Ji has come out?!"
"That’s right! It was Junior Brother Hu who saw it with his own eyes; it is indeed Senior Brother Ji!"
Wuzhen’s face lit up with joy as he clapped his hands repeatedly:
"Good! Good! Good!
"I, Wuzhen! As the only disciple in the sect at the Second Slash Realm, must go welcome Senior Brother Ji. Inform all the brothers and sisters at once! Come with me to greet Senior Brother Ji!"
Once the others left, Wuzhen whispered to himself:
"Third Slash Realm! Here I come!"
Tianxing Lake, as the only punishment place within the sect, does not require leaving the sect but does need to pass through the outer sect area.
And above the outer sect, some formations covered important places.
Ji Yang did not plan to fly past; walking wouldn’t take much time, so he prepared to descend into the outer sect.
But as Ji Yang descended, he saw countless Little Black dots below.
When he got closer, Ji Yang realized that those Little Black dots were all outer disciples.
This puzzled Ji Yang; did something significant happen in the sect recently?
It wouldn’t hurt to check.
Before Ji Yang completely landed, he heard the united shout of the crowd:
"Welcome Senior Brother Ji back from the mountains!"
Hearing this, Ji Yang paused; were they shouting for him?
Once Ji Yang landed fully, he saw that all the outer disciples were looking at him with burning eyes.
Their eyes were filled with enthusiasm and longing; they were indeed calling for him!
Even though Ji Yang’s actual cultivation level had reached the Golden Core Stage, he felt somewhat uncomfortable under everyone’s gaze.
"Welcome Senior Brother Ji back from the mountains!"
Among the crowd, Wuzhen walked over with a joyful expression, his eyes brimming with excitement.
This left Ji Yang quite puzzled; if he remembered correctly, their relationship didn’t seem very good, as he had struck Wuzhen with two swords.
But looking at Wuzhen’s current level at the Seventh level of Qi Refinement, it was evident he had gained a lot!
Not wanting to dismiss a friendly face, Ji Yang did not dwell on it; moreover, he had no deep-seated hatred with the sect disciples; everything was just for his own cultivation.
Many people benefited from this, and given the current situation, it was within a reasonable range.
However, thinking back to how things were before returning to Jingtan Peak, Ji Yang felt a bit troubled. How would he make mistakes in the sect later on, and how would he mine to improve his cultivation?
A single Jingtan Peak was not enough for him to accumulate enough cultivation points unless he had countless Spiritual Plant Seeds or numerous new seeds of spiritual grains; then it would be different.
Ji Yang initially wanted everyone to disperse, but seeing their eager faces, it was clear they were waiting for him to draw his sword. However, he was heading to Tianxing Lake today and didn’t want to complicate matters.
Next time for sure.
Seeing Ji Yang exude the righteous aura as rumored, Wuzhen grew even more excited. Just as he was about to speak, other disciples rushed over, instantly enveloping Wuzhen in a crowd.
Wuzhen tried to squeeze out, relying on his Seventh level of Qi Refinement, but then noticed an Eighth level outer disciple stuck in the mass, unable to move.
"Senior Brother Ji, cut me!"
"Senior Brother Ji, I’m willing to pay a high price in spiritual stones for just one sword strike!"
"Senior Brother Ji, I also want to enter the Second Slash Realm! Please, Senior Brother, help me!"
…
"Second Slash Realm?"
"What is this Second Slash Realm?"
Ji Yang looked confused, watching the countless disciples swarm around him.
Ji Yang tapped into his magical energy, and thousands of sword energies instantly spread around him for protection!
Upon sensing the sharp sword energies, many disciples displayed looks of fear and stopped in their tracks, not daring to get too close.
Seeing that Ji Yang was not ready to draw his sword, many disciples showed disappointment. Many of them had previously been struck by his sword and felt their own strength increasing!
More were disciples who came because they had heard of Ji Yang’s reputation!
At that moment, someone in the crowd suddenly spoke up:
"I heard that Senior Brother Ji never strikes innocent people. The previous brothers had all made some mistakes! Senior Brother Ji is just giving minor punishments!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd looked thoughtful, and then one disciple suddenly realized and shouted:
"Senior Brother Ji, I have relied on my strength to bully weaker new disciples!"
Hearing this, Ji Yang was stunned.
Oh no, my damn righteous persona!
Before Ji Yang could say anything, others quickly echoed:
"Senior Brother Ji, I trespassed into other junior brothers’ residences, and I should be severely punished! Please, Senior Brother, punish me!"
"Senior Brother Ji, I spied on Junior Sister at Wangxia Peak while she was bathing! Not just one, but several! I deserve to die a thousand deaths!"
Hearing this, many turned to look at the speaking disciple:
"You really deserve to die!"
Listening to the absurd reasons, Ji Yang was speechless!
Just as Ji Yang was about to speak, a cold light flashed from afar, striking directly toward Ji Yang!
It was a flying sword, with a wave of magical energy, clearly manipulated by someone and not too weak!
Seeing this sudden attack, Ji Yang’s expression turned cold. Even if it was a sect disciple coming at him, he wouldn’t hold back!
Just as Ji Yang prepared to counterattack, a figure quickly flew out from the crowd, attempting to intercept the flying sword! The person shouted:
"Hmph, if you want to attack Senior Brother Ji, you must first step over my body!"
Ji Yang was taken aback by the sudden presence blocking him.
Has my influence grown this much?
The others were also surprised, many disciples quietly clenched their fists, regretting their delayed reactions.
But feeling the sharpness of the incoming flying sword, many shook their heads slightly. That was definitely an Inner Disciple’s strike; even if they knew, they wouldn’t dare to intercept.
Soon someone in the crowd recognized the one blocking the attack:
"This is Wuzhen, the Second Slash Realm brother!"
"That’s right, it’s him!"
"Wuzhen has such courage; he deserves to be struck! I’m not as good as Wuzhen!"
"How shameful!"
Many disciples sighed.
Hearing the words and admiration from below, Wuzhen gave a cold grunt!
He was indeed at the Second Slash Realm!
But feeling the sharpness of the flying sword ahead, Wuzhen’s face turned pale. That absolutely came from an Inner Disciple, and there was a great risk.
However, Wuzhen did not back down; he knew he had average talent, average understanding, and average strength!
The only advantage over the new disciples was that he had practiced for two more years. A disciple like him could be a stone that could crush a large number of others in the outer sect!
Now he had made up his mind; he would carve out his own path!
I! Wuzhen! Will enter the Third Slash Realm!
This sword, he must intercept!
Wuzhen’s expression hardened, confidence soaring in his eyes, and his momentum surged as he cast several defensive spells upon himself! At the same time, two mid-tier defensive talismans appeared in his hands.
