Ch. 108 - Encounter

After Ji Yuenian stepped down from Luan Bird, Hua Jiang’s complexion changed slightly. He thought for a moment, then stepped forward and said, “This junior brother, you ...”

Ji Yuenian dissipated the pale golden Xuan Qi surging around him, and said, “Just now I was cultivating a spiritual technique, please forgive me if I disturbed you.”

Hua Jiang took a deep look at Ji Yuenian, didn’t say much, and directly led the five of them towards the courtyard.

Within that golden Xuan Qi, Hua Jiang sensed an extremely dangerous aura, and despite being in the True Dao Realm, his heart faintly trembled.

Liu Qing seemed to know the Shouyan Mountain Sect very well. During this short distance of hundreds of feet, she changed her reticence above the Luan Bird and spoke several times in succession.

Wang Yueyang’s eyes were gloomy, and before he really stepped into the Shouyan Mountain Sect, he said in a casual manner, “I have a spiritual weapon that can detect the aura of the soul, so I accidentally discovered that there is a ghost soul in Junior Sister Liu. Could it be that Junior Sister Liu is actually a descendant of ghost?”

Ghosts and sprites were spurned by others, and they were not eligible to enter the Taiyu Holy Sect to cultivate. However, occasionally some talented mixed bloodlines were included in the Outer Sect’s Luoxia Mountains, and they could embark on the orthodox path of cultivation.

One of the reasons was that they were not pure ghosts. After years of reproduction, the ghost body was almost gone, only the ghost spirit was still vaguely lingering in the depths of their soul.

Liu Qing was such a ghost. Her identity was not a secret within the mountain where she belonged. She was taciturn and extremely eccentric.

At that time, Wang Yueyang directly revealed the information on her bloodline, which made Liu Qing’s face pale to some degree.

Yu Yan said angrily, “Junior Wang Yueyang, do you have nothing better to do? You actually used a spiritual weapon to test your fellow disciples?”

Gu Hang said quietly, “For those who are not of my race, their Heart Fire must be different. After countless years of inheritance and reproduction, many races such as humans, demons, spirits, and monsters have become mutually recognized groups of creatures. Only ghosts who survive in the dark were not recognized, there must be a reason for it.”

Among the five talents in the Luoxia Mountains who went out to attend the ceremony, Ji Yuenian had the most noble and rare Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline, while Yu Yan belonged to the demon race.

Gu Hang was a pure human, and Wang Yueyang was a super-talented spirit monster.

Only Liu Qing here was the blood descendant of ghosts.

Ji Yuenian was different from her. Although his Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline has the word ghost, it was fundamentally different from ghosts.

The Tong Xuan Heart Ghost was born after the death of the souls that survived the three tribulation, gathering the Yin Qi of the world. Every newborn Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline descendant possessed terrifying power enough to shake the heavens and the earth.

Although Zhao Yinyue had a deficiency in her Yin body and had never really cultivated to the true realm of Taiyi, she no longer had to go through the three major tribulations.

Under the gathering of the immeasurable Yin energy in Zhao Yinyue’s True Spirit, Ji Yuenian’s blood was directly replaced with the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline. So, his ability to manipulate Yin Qiu was even more powerful than ordinary descendants of the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline.

Hearing Gu Hang’s words, Yu Yan couldn’t help feeling a little anxious. She said angrily, “Junior Sister Liu has always been kind to others, and she is extremely diligent and thrifty. Why do you all like to expose people’s scars? Is it fun to mock others?”

When Gu Hang uttered the words “ghost”, Hua Jiang’s complexion turned slightly gloomy, but he didn’t say anything, and silently endured it.

At first glance, these five people were the talented disciples of the Luoxia Mountains. As long as the Shouyan Mountain Sect was within the Yuanyan Realm, they would have to rely on the Taiyu Holy Sect to survive. The weak ghosts were not qualified to offend the disciples of the Luoxia Mountain Range.

“Hua Jiang, why don’t you bring in the Junior Brothers and Sisters?”

The lights under the altar on the west side of the Shouyan Mountain Daoist Temple were brightly lit. Nearly a thousand creatures of all ethnic groups gathered there. The nine banquet tables stretched for tens of feet.

After all, it was a tyrannical force that had an existence in the realm of the gods and spirits. The Shouyan Mountain Sect developed prosperously in recent years, and it was a hegemon within thousands of miles.

For this ceremony dedicated to the Ancient Mountain God, the Shouyan Mountain Sect invited almost all the forces, big and small, from far and near. Their presence in the banquet had given Shouyan Mountain a lot of face.

Hua Jiangyao clasped his hands towards the seat of honor under the altar, and turned around with a smile, “Please, everyone.”

After Hua Jiang entered the altar area, Wang Yueyang and others had a little understanding of the strength of the Shouyan Mountain Sect.

Nearly a thousand people sat in attendance, and thirty percent of them were in the True Dao Realm, and the surrounding aura was extremely fierce, filled with killing intent.

Even the hundreds of creatures of various races in the Xuan Realm were surprised to see Wang Yueyang, Gu Hang and the others. Although these creatures had single spiritual technique and even inferior spiritual weapons, their cold and fierce gaze could not be faked at all.

Hua Jiang led a few people to the altar, bowed to the head and said, “My lord.”

The white-clothed young man was obviously the officiant of this ceremony. He looked at Wang Yueyang and the others, paused his eyes on Ji Yuenian for a while, and said with a smile, “You appear to be in a hurry. Do you have something important to do?”

Wang Yueyang and Gu Hang did not open their mouths, but turned their attention to Ji Yuenian one after another.

There was an orderly hierarchy within Taiyu Sect, and the rules couldn’t be ignored. Ji Yuenian was the first ranker in the entrance examination, and he also had the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline, so his status was higher than them. In this situation, no one dared to presume command.

Ji Yuenian made a salute, and said, “A Chen Family’s elder of the ancient city survived the tribulation and successfully broke through to the Gods and Spirits Realm. We were ordered to go to attend and observe the ceremony on behalf of the Outer Sect’s Luoxia Mountain Range.”

The white-clothed boy nodded slightly, and He Xi smiled and said, “I know a thing or two about this, but there’s no need to rush. In this banquet, there is a life-prolonging wine that I am quite proud of. Every drink will prolong life by one year. All juniors can taste it. Come and have a seat!”

Several disciples of Shouyan Mountain walked up to lead Ji Yuenian and the others to sit in the middle of the table, causing the rest of the creatures to look sideways. There were a total of 150 tables in the upper table, and there were more than 300 souls sitting here, almost all of them in the True Dao Realm, but Ji Yuenian and others could sit there with the cultivation base of Xuan Realm. It was enough to show how much the Shouyan Mountain Sect attaches importance to them.

“It’s you!”

A somewhat surprised voice echoed, and countless eyes looked up.

In the upper table, there was a young man in Daoist robe who stood up suddenly, and looked at Ji Yuenian in amazement.
