Ch. 9 - Azure Spiritual Shield

"Master, I... I'll do it,"

The woman slowly stood up with her back facing Ji Hong, her voice was much calmer, but her shoulders trembled imperceptibly.

'Even if I don’t want to, what can I do?'

Ji Hong was not discussing with her at all, and she had no room for resistance to such a fate.

Ji Hong nodded, took off the mink fur from his body, stepped forward, and put it lightly on the woman's body. He stared at her with evasive eyes and said, "Okay, I'll go to the Third House first."

After saying this, he didn't wait for the woman to speak, turned around and walked into the snowstorm.

"Master, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless, even ignoring Quexue's life." The woman looked at Ji Hong's disappearing figure, the tenderness and attachment in her eyes slowly faded, replaced by an indescribable determination, "It's okay if I die, but Quexue... she must live on!"

She knew very well that once the crime of murdering the eldest son was really determined, the mother and daughter would have no way to survive in the Ji family.

Now that she thought about it, Ji Hong's appearance when he swore just now was really ridiculous.

As if she had made some kind of determination, the woman's expression no longer had the cowardice and timidness shown earlier. She walked out quickly without looking back, and her thin figure gradually disappeared under the heavy snow. …….

The dark spring night was cold, and the deep bamboo and osmanthus were extremely fragrant.

Passing through the Heavenly Furnace Barrier that encompassed the entire Qingluan Mountain, what Ji Yuenian saw was a beautiful lush and gorgeous mountain scenery.

The living creatures in Qingluan Mountain were almost extinct, but this place was completely different.

Butterflies danced, and the fragrance of plants and flowers drifted towards his nose, along with the whistling gentle breeze. It was like a paradise isolated from the entire world.

Ji Yuenian walked dozens of feet away when a soft voice reached his ear, "Young Master, stay!"

He turned his head to the side, but there was no one in sight, and he couldn't help but raise a little bit of vigilance, and silently chanted 'The Cultivation Manual Of The Secret Supernatural Skill - Indestructible Body'. The rich azure Xuan energy flowed out from his Shengong acupuncture point, turning into dazzling azure light, and spread all over the thirty-six acupoints of his body.

This was the difference between the cultivator with the cultivation of the Initial Stage of the Xuan Realm and ordinary mortals.

Before the Heart Fire was ignited, he could not take the initiative to mobilize this magical body protection skill, but now that he had broken into the Initial Stage of the Xuan Realm, he could take the initiative and urge this magical power which, more or less, had some protective power.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

The soft voice became clearer and clearer, but Ji Yuenian turned a deaf ear to it. Moreover, his steps moved faster and faster.

This was the edge of the Qingluan Mountain, and without even thinking about it, he could conclude that this voice was from a spiritual demonic ghost.

"I told you to stop!"

The gentle and pleasant voice suddenly became sharp and piercing, carrying an unspeakable resentment in it.

Ji Yuenian stopped, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Just now, he keenly sensed a strange aura from the Late Stage of the Xuan Realm powerhouse, and this aura... was right under his feet!

Boom!

More than a dozen twisted vines with barbed thorns rolled out from the soil and quickly twisted around Ji Yuenian.

"Azure Spiritual Shield."

Ji Yuenian flicked his sleeves, and an azure light blossomed out from his body, condensing a blazing translucent azure light shield, which firmly protected him.

But at the same time, all the azure Xuan energy accumulated in his Shengong acupoint was completely consumed, the dark Psychic Karma Fire was also extremely dim, and it seemed that it would be completely extinguished at any time.

'The Cultivation Manual Of The Secret Supernatural Skill - Indestructible Body' was an extremely miraculous body protection manual. With his superficial cultivation in the Initial Stage of Xuan Realm, he would not have been able to perform even the most basic protection spell without the support of the Heart Fire.

Even after forcibly performing this spell, Ji Yuenian still felt dizzy, and a sharp pain came again from his brow.

Those twisted vines shattered the moment they touched the azure light, and the shield became more transparent, as if it would burst and collapse at any moment.

The shrill hissing sound pervaded his eardrum, but Ji Yuenian's eyes were calm, and he pushed his Heart Fire to the limit, trying with all his strength to sense the true location of the demon.

The Demonic Tree in the Late Stage of the Xuan Realm was limited by its physique, so it was not really strong, and at most a little stronger than a new-born spiritualized demon.

As long as one could find the location of its hidden body, he could directly use Xuan energy to crush it.

"A mortal who just ignited the Heart Fire has such a wonderful body protection secret," The resentful hissing sound came again, and it became more and more piercing, "It's a pity that it has no use to me!"

Ji Yuenian shook his head and said softly, "It's hopeless for a stupid monster like you that grew up in the mountains."

Although such a Demonic Tree had intelligence, almost all of its knowledge came from the original memory after turning into a demon, and in essence, it was naive and simple in some aspects.

If it were a smarter monster, after it saw Ji Yuenian walk out of the Heavenly Furnace Barrier, possessing such a miraculous magic trick, it would not dare to attack directly with such carelessness.

"You actually... called me stupid?"

The sharp voice paused for a while, then roared more and more violently, and more than 30 twisted vines broke out from all directions, wriggling towards Ji Yuenian!

"Sure enough, I found you."

Ji Yuenian let out a low laugh. With his azure Xuan energy, which had recovered a little, he jumped a few meters in front of him, and the slender and pale fingertips lit up with a black flame that plunged straight into the mud.

Boom!

The bursting azure light exploded. It swept across all directions, and the injured Demonic Tree was dug out, accompanied by a sound of resentment and a roar that gradually distorted and toned down.

"How dare you! You..." Its voice stopped abruptly.

Ji Yuenian fell to the ground, his already fair complexion became even paler, but the corners of his soft lips evoked a slight smile.

Just when the dark flames devoured the Demonic Tree, an incomparably rich green demonic energy flowed up along his fingertips, passing through the two major acupoints which were Shenque and Jianggong, and finally converged at the Shengong Acupoint located at the center of his eyebrows. Inside, it was completely devoured by the Psychic Karma Fire.

The Heart Fire of a living being was the foundation of cultivation. Once one cultivated it to the Late stage of the Xuan Realm, all the accumulated Xuan energy could be completely condensed with the help of the Heart Fire, and it could be refined into a Xuan sea.

Once the Xuan sea was refined, the Xuan energy would be transformed into Xuan energy that would be more powerful with less consumption rate. From then on, the Xuan energy would form its own cycle within the Xuan sea and would never end.

However, Ji Yuenian's Psychic Karma Fire was a mutant Heart Fire that only existed in one in aof a billion. This fire not only allowed living beings to start refining the Xuan sea at the Initial Stage of Xuan Realm, but also transformed part of the power of other living souls for its own use!

The most terrifying thing was that the Heart Fire of ordinary creatures couldn't be easily used to kill the enemy. It required some extremely special techniques to use the power of the Heart Fire. Most of the time, the Heart Fire was passively used as athe source of cultivation.

However, the Psychic Karma Fire could differentiate into traces of pitch-black flames, which had a miraculous effect of suppressing, sealing, and devouring.

After the Demonic Tree was annihilated, all the remaining pure origin demonic energy was captured by the Psychic Karma Fire, and about 20% of the Demonic Tree's power was gradually devoured by the Psychic Karma Fire and transformed into pure Xuan energy, which accumulated in the Shengong Acupoint.
