"This sign-in has concluded. The sign-in reward will be issued immediately. Please check and receive it, host!"
"The next sign-in opportunity will unlock at midnight tomorrow. Please look forward to it."
Another Divine Rank Upper Grade Cultivation Method!
Nine-Orifice Exquisite Body?
Judging by the name, it seemed to be a Body Refining Cultivation Method.
Ji Zining looked rather satisfied.
If it was a Body Refining Cultivation Method, she would no longer have to worry about wasting all that lightning energy when undergoing tribulations.
She could cultivate with the lightning energy while undergoing tribulations. How wonderful.
Less than a breath after the system fell silent, streams of mysterious information flooded into Ji Zining's mind.
Ji Zining composed herself and began receiving it.
Ji Chenkong seemed to sense something. He spun around and stared fixedly at Ji Zining.
After noticing the mysterious presence emanating from Ji Zining's body, Ji Chenkong's face instantly went blank, as though he had entered a state of sagehood.
He slowly turned back around and resumed pondering the truth of life.
Why was the gap between people so enormous?
His daughter, Ji Zining, had awakened another heaven-defying Cultivation Method!
That mysterious presence had to belong to a level beyond his imagination.
They might as well stop calling the Exquisite Immortal Physique by that name and call it the Heaven-Defying Immortal Physique instead. It was so heaven-defying that the name would suit it perfectly.
A moment later.
Ji Zining opened her eyes again, her pupils brimming with delight.
Just as she had guessed, the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Body was indeed a Body Refining Cultivation Method!
A Divine Rank Upper Grade Body Refining Cultivation Method!
With the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Body, she could also improve her physical combat strength while undergoing tribulations in the future.
Moreover, while receiving the inheritance just now, she had already opened the first orifice and reached the first layer of the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Body.
Her physical combat strength was now comparable to the Golden Core Realm!
The Nine-Orifice Exquisite Body had nine layers in total. Each time one of the body's nine orifices was opened, she could break through one layer and greatly improve her physical combat strength.
The body's nine orifices were the ears, mouth, nostrils, eyes, urethra, and anus.
Opening them through a special method allowed the body to evolve once for each orifice.
The one Ji Zining had just opened was the mouth orifice, one of the nine.
Ji Chenkong came up to Ji Zining, a look of surprise on his face.
"Ning'er, your body..."
He had still been pondering the truth of life when he discovered that Ji Zining's body was radiating a wave of pressure.
That pressure had reached the level of the Golden Core Realm!
What Cultivation Method could give Ji Zining the physical combat strength of the Golden Core Realm in such a short time?
Ji Zining stood up and pondered briefly.
"Father, would you believe me if I said I just received an inheritance memory?"
She couldn't tell him about signing in. Now was the time to put her acting and eloquence to the test.
But to Ji Zining's surprise, the moment she spoke, Ji Chenkong's face wore an expression that said he had known it all along.
"I really did guess right! What you just obtained really did come from the Exquisite Immortal Physique!"
Ji Zining was somewhat bewildered.
What do you mean, you guessed right?
I prepared so many explanations for you, and you just believed me after a single sentence?
Isn't that a little too hasty?
Ji Chenkong patted Ji Zining's shoulder with a solemn expression.
"Ning'er, once you go to the Ziwei Holy Land, you must not reveal too much about these things."
"That's especially important before you've truly grown strong!"
"Places with many people are the most dangerous. I'm a little worried."
Warmth filled Ji Zining's heart, and she promised him.
"Don't worry, Father. I understand, and I'll be careful."
Only then did Ji Chenkong nod in relief.
"Good. Rest and prepare yourself first. We should reach the Ziwei Holy Land in another six to eight hours."
"If we arrive then, it should be just in time for the start of the disciple recruitment ceremony."
Ji Zining nodded and sat down cross-legged again.
Now that she had obtained the most important spiritual power Cultivation Method and Body Refining Cultivation Method, she wouldn't need to work toward obtaining either of them after joining the Ziwei Holy Land.
Next, she would see what the Ziwei Holy Land actually looked like.
The imperial capital of the Flowing Moon Dynasty, where she lived, was already incomparably prosperous.
Its buildings were far more majestic than those of the feudal dynasties in her previous life.
The Ziwei Holy Land, which was countless times more powerful than the Flowing Moon Dynasty, ought to be even more magnificent, shouldn't it?
Time passed, and as Xiao Jiu traveled day and night, a great blazing sun appeared in the sky once more.
When the blazing sun had made it halfway across the sky, Ji Chenkong roused Ji Zining from her cultivation.
"Ning'er, we've reached the Ziwei Holy Land. Go down and get in line for the test."
We've reached the Ziwei Holy Land?
Ji Zining opened her eyes and looked around curiously.
Demon Beast mounts of all kinds and flying boats were lined up all around them, motionless in the sky.
From atop those Demon Beasts and flying boats, Ji Zining sensed many presences that made her feel her life was in danger.
There were true experts among them!
Ji Zining withdrew her gaze, her expression growing much more solemn.
These Demon Beast mounts and flying boats were probably all bringing their younger-generation disciples to participate in the disciple recruitment ceremony.
Then the Ziwei Holy Land...
Ji Zining looked down, and a trace of awe involuntarily appeared in her eyes.
Below her, countless peaks shrouded in immortal light towered into the sky, dotted with exquisitely beautiful buildings.
Immortal cranes flew and frolicked among the mountains, and the Spiritual Qi was so dense it was almost tangible!
Is this the Ziwei Holy Land?
Such a sight was worthy of one of the four great holy lands of the True Martial Dao Domain!
Ji Zining stood up and cupped her hands slightly toward Ji Chenkong.
"Father, I'm going."
Ji Chenkong nodded slightly.
"Remember what I told you. Be careful in everything you do."
Ji Zining nodded firmly, then leaped into the air and flew down.
Before the many peaks wreathed in Spiritual Qi stood an enormous mountain gate.
In front of the gate was a vast plaza, now packed shoulder to shoulder with young cultivators.
These were probably the true protagonists of this disciple recruitment ceremony.
Landing in a corner of the plaza, Ji Zining glanced at the sea of bobbing heads ahead and shook her head slightly.
Forget it. It won't be too late to take the test after the people ahead of me are done.
But now that I'm here, where is the surprise the white-haired young man talked about?
Why can't I see it?
That fellow pretending to be young wasn't lying to me, was he?
Meanwhile, atop an immortal mountain in the Ziwei Holy Land, Li Changsheng suddenly opened his eyes, his expression delighted.
"This girl really did come as promised! Good, good! My efforts to keep those old fellows at bay for you these past two days weren't wasted."
"Very soon, you'll see the surprise I have for you!"
"It's an enormous surprise!"
