Ji Changxiao

Ji Changming, Ji Qingyue, and the others have already left the Ji family and are on their way to the Northern Wasteland!

They traveled through the air aboard the Saint Dao flying ship spaceship.

"This time, Senior Ji Yuanqing and the others can finally return to their clan."

Ji Qingke spoke up happily!

Ji Changming smiled easily and said:

"Grand Profound Saint King himself spoke, no one should dare to make things difficult for them after they join the Lineage."

He had been quite worried that Ji Tianjing, who had suppressed Ji Tianhao for a lifetime when he was alive, might cause trouble for Ji Tianjing's descendants, as Ji Tianhao Ji Tianjing not a magnanimous person.

Now, everything is resolved.

"Hmm? Something's not right about the atmosphere around us."

At this moment, Ji Qingyue suddenly frowned!

Ji Changming also suddenly looked up, only to find that the surrounding space... was somewhat distorted?

"Oh no... have we accidentally entered a spatial magic array?"

"Retreat quickly!"

He shouted urgently!

However, the countless Space Dao Principles around them were shifting, and they were already trapped within the magic array!

And at this moment.

Somewhere in the heavens.

Ji Changxiao, leading a group of men, waited indifferently.

Before long, a figure flew swiftly from the horizon. It was a young man who shouted at Ji Changxiao:

"Father, the Formation has been set up!"

This young man is Ji Qinghe, the son of Ji Changxiao and the grandson of the family head, Ji Tianhao Ji Qinghe!

This time, Ji Changxiao brought almost all of his most trusted and loyal followers.

"Very good, now it's time for us to go and find Ji Tianjing's descendants!"

They headed towards the Northern Wasteland!

In the Desolate Heaven Mountain Range.

The area originally belonged to Yellow Heaven Prefecture, with rolling mountains and a winding river flowing through it.

The aura of the sacred path is extremely strong within it.

Nestled among the buildings in the mountains, Ji Yuanqing was urging the young members of his clan to cultivate.

"Our lineage is flourishing ever more..."

Ji Yuanqing sighed with emotion!

Since receiving the Jishui Dao Map bestowed by Senior Li, their lineage has regained its complete cultivation heritage.

Moreover, Ji Yuanqing had previously obtained a pot of tea from Li Fan's Small Courtyard.

With the help of that pot of tea, the younger generation of this clan underwent a qualitative change!

More and more geniuses are emerging, and three or four of them have already broken through to the Saint Induction realm, becoming true Saints!

Ji Yuanqing himself made rapid progress, successfully breaking through to the Opening Sea Realm.

This made Ji Yuanqing extremely excited.

He seemed to have regained half his vitality; his Qi and Blood had recovered considerably, and he looked much younger.

"All of this is thanks to Senior Li's kindness!"

Looking at the young people in his clan, Ji Yuanqing felt the immense power within him and sighed with emotion!

"Chieftain, when will we be able to return to the Ji Clan?"

At this moment, a young man walked over and wiped the sweat from his face.

He was the most powerful young man in this lineage— Ji Qingbin.

Ji Qingbin has already entered the late stage of the Saint Induction realm, possessing formidable talent.

Upon hearing Ji Qingbin's question, the others also looked over, their faces filled with anticipation.

Although their lineage already possessed sufficient resources, having obtained the complete Dharma, and a Desolate Heaven River brimming with the Source of Saint Dao...

However, having been lost in the Immortal Realm for hundreds of thousands of years, they still harbor a hope of returning to their main sect.

"It should be soon. The Saint Dao Era, the Golden Great Era, has begun. Our Lineage has already established a firm foothold in the Central Region of the Northern Immortal Realm, and they will send someone to pick us up soon."

Ji Yuanqing also spoke, his voice filled with anticipation.

"Where is Ji Yuanqing? Come out immediately to pay homage to the Ji Clan elders!"

Just then, shouts rang out from outside the mountain gate.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanqing was overjoyed. Had the Lineage... finally arrived?

He immediately summoned his clansmen!

He personally led his men out of the mountain gate and saw the Imperial Sky Ship in the sky, saying:

"Ji Yuanqing, welcome the clan elders!"

In the air, Ji Changxiao stood proudly, but as he stared at the river that surrounded the mountains below, there was a hint of doubt in his old eyes.

Because this river... clearly contains the Source of Saint Dao!

Moreover, its level is extremely high; even I can't see through it!

How could the natives of a mere immortal realm possess such a blessed land? Moreover, it bears such a striking resemblance to Ji Shui...

"Our clan has records that the Ji River originated from an ancient divine painting, and our Ancestor Emperor attained sainthood after seeing that painting... A river so similar to the Ji River has appeared here, could it be...?"

He was very puzzled, but immediately shook his head. That ancient divine painting had never been seen even when the Ancestor Emperor was alive; it was rumored to have been lost long ago. How could it be here?

Without giving it much thought, he gracefully landed.

"May I ask your honorable name, Elder?"

Ji Yuanqing stepped forward and asked respectfully.

My name is Ji Changxiao.

Ji Changxiao spoke indifferently.

"Greetings, Elder! Please!"

Ji Yuanqing respectfully extended his hand.

But Ji Changxiao shook his head and said:

"No need for formalities, and I'm too lazy to beat around the bush. Your lineage, though you haven't accomplished anything by staying in the Immortal Realm, still carries the blood of the Ji family. This time, on behalf of the clan, I've come to bestow some blessings upon you, allowing you to return to the clan."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanqing's expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.

The other person's words... were a bit too much!

But Ji Yuanqing could only lower his head and say, "Thank you, Elder!"

"Don't thank me yet."

Ji Changxiao said calmly:

"Although we've agreed to let you return to your tribe, people should at least have some self-awareness."

He gave a slight, cold laugh and said:

"Your lineage has been severed, and your ancestral bloodline is already diluted. Returning to the clan would only be a burden to the Ji family. My intention is to select a few elites from your lineage to serve as menial laborers within the clan, so that they can have food to eat in these chaotic times."

"As for you, you're old and useless now. Just stay here with the others and enjoy your retirement. What do you say?"

He spoke naturally!

Ji Yuanqing's face stiffened.

He seemed unable to believe what he was hearing!

Select the elites of your lineage to serve as menial laborers in the clan?

Are we to stay here and fend for ourselves?

Is this a blessing from the Lineage?

"Heh, don't push your luck. What's the difference between you and those ant-like natives of the Immortal Realm? You don't actually still consider yourselves members of the Ji family, do you?"

Ji Qinghe stepped forward with a cold smile and casually patted Ji Yuanqing on the shoulder!

"Chieftain, we... will never tolerate this humiliation!"

From behind, Ji Qingbin spoke with a livid face!

"The Ji Clan... I'll just not go back!"

"We can live very well here!"

Ji Yuanqing's clansmen were filled with righteous indignation!

"Is this the clan's will?!"

Ji Yuanqing raised his eyes, looked at Ji Changxiao, and asked through gritted teeth!

Ji Changxiao frowned slightly and said:

Are you questioning me?

He raised his hand.

Suddenly, the sacred principles collapsed!

Ji Yuanqing was sent flying backwards and crashed heavily onto the floor!

He coughed up blood and turned pale!

--Ji Changxiao was a Quasi-Great Power at the Four Luminaries Realm, while Ji Yuanqing was only at the Sea Opening Realm, far from being his match!

"You!"

"How dare you!"

"This is outrageous!"

Ji Yuanqing's clansmen were furious!

"Qinghe, pick a few that you like and take them back to the clan as slaves, lest the clan say that we have neglected Ji Tianjing's lineage!"

Ji Changxiao spoke coldly.

Upon hearing this, Ji Qinghe immediately stepped forward and sneered:

"Come, come, anyone who wants to return to the clan, come over and kowtow three times, and I'll take him back!"

Arrogant and haughty!

However, Ji Yuanqing's lineage all glared at him with resentment, and no one made a move!

"Your anger and pride are worthless; kowtowing a few times is a sure win for you."

Ji Qinghe took out a golden pill and said:

"The Sea Splitting Pill? You bunch of bumpkins, you've probably never seen one before, have you?"

"Taking just one pill can directly elevate a Saintly cultivator to the Sea Opening Realm; its value is immeasurable."

He threw the golden pill on the ground and stomped on it, crushing it.

"The person who kneels down may take this pill. Don't be fooled by its appearance on the ground; its efficacy remains undiminished! Hahaha!"

Ji Qinghe burst into laughter!

"This is outrageous!"

Beside Ji Yuanqing, Ji Qingbin's face was contorted with rage, veins bulging, and he roared:

"Get out!"

"You dare tell me to get out?"

Ji Qinghe's expression turned cold, and he said, "I want you dead!"

He took a step forward and was in front of Ji Qingbin in an instant.

A palm strike was unleashed!

--Ji Qinghe has already entered the Sea Opening Realm, and when he broke through the realm, he even passed through four heavenly Heavenly Tribulation!

It was extremely fast, and its power was incredibly fierce.

Facing the palm strike, Ji Qingbin showed no fear and suddenly raised his hand!

It was as if a giant wave was surging around it!

"Boom!"

A palm strike was unleashed!

Ji Qingbin retreated several hundred steps, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth!

The difference in their cultivation levels meant that Ji Qingbin was ultimately only at the Saint Induction realm!

Ji Qinghe remained motionless, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Kneel down and become a slave!

He stared at Ji Qingbin.

However, a ruthless glint appeared in Ji Qingbin's eyes!

He suddenly pulled a leaf from his pocket!

That's a tea leaf!

It looked as if it had been boiled and left out for a long time—this was left over from the pot of tea that Ji Yuanqing brought back to the clan from the Small Mountain Village!

He picked up the tea leaves, chewed them, and swallowed them!

Suddenly, his aura surged dramatically!

He... is breaking through to the Sea Opening Realm!

In an instant, countless Saint Dao charm poured down into the great river surrounded by mountains!

Moreover, in the blink of an eye, a lightning tribulation suddenly descended from the sky.

A full eightfold!

Eightfold Tribulation of Lightning!

Immediately, everyone around hurriedly moved aside, fearing they would be implicated.

Ji Qingbin leaped into the sea of lightning, battling the lightning tribulation, his aura growing ever stronger!

"What kind of tea is that? It actually allowed him to break through to a breakthrough in an instant?!"

"Eightfold tribulation of lightning... Heavens, this person is a genius beyond compare, a genius beyond compare!"

"Eightfold lightning tribulation—even in the Ji family's ancestry, there are no more than five people recorded with such a thing, right?"

For a moment, everyone in the main branch of the Ji Clan was shocked.

"This child... must not be allowed to live!"

Ji Changxiao's face darkened considerably, and his killing intent burned even brighter.

If the clan were to find out that a peerless genius capable of the eighth level of lightning tribulation had emerged among Ji Tianjing's descendants, their lineage's position would become even more precarious!

"He only relied on the treasure; he's not a genius at all. He's all because of that tea leaf!"

Ji Qinghe spoke with a gloomy expression. He refused to believe that a country bumpkin left behind in the Heavenly Realm could actually have a stronger aptitude than himself.

At this moment, the Heavenly Tribulation was finally over, and Ji Qingbin emerged from the lightning tribulation with great difficulty!

"Kill him!"

Ji Changxiao spoke coldly!

Ji Qinghe nodded, stepped forward, and shouted:

"I grant you death!"

He threw a punch with all his might, determined to kill Ji Qingbin before he could recover his strength!

At that moment, Ji Qingbin also suddenly struck down with his palm towards Ji Qinghe!

"Bang!"

With a deafening roar, Ji Qinghe was sent flying over a thousand meters away, crashing into a mountain peak and creating a huge crater in the otherwise solid rock!

"My son!"

Ji Changxiao's expression changed, and he took a step forward, already carrying Ji Qinghe back in his arms.

Ji Qinghe was covered in blood, and all his meridians were severed!

"No... Father... Avenge me!"

His mouth was full of blood, and his eyes were filled with resentment and bitterness!

Ji Changxiao raised his eyes, his gaze burning with murderous intent!

"How dare you hurt my son!"

He stared at Ji Qingbin and the others, and said:

"Today you shall all be annihilated!"
