The sound reverberated, echoing endlessly within the roofless hall.
Upon hearing Ji Zining's words, Xiao Jing, Mo Shang, and the others fell silent.
These are the words they've always wanted to say to their families.
Unfortunately, some of them no longer have family.
Although they are still considered to be among the younger generation, their lifespan is equivalent to more than ten lifetimes for an ordinary person.
As time passed, their earthly relatives had long since vanished.
Even though some of their relatives are still alive, they do not have the same familial bonds as Ji Zining, Ji Chenkong, and Chen Qingqian.
Large Lineage have Lineage advantages, but Lineage also have Lineage disadvantages.
Ji Chenkong and Chen Qingqian were taken aback upon hearing this.
So this is what motivates Ning'er to cultivate?
Some cultivators, in order to climb to a higher realm, will spare no expense.
They can do it without any remorse, even if it means abandoning or betraying their loved ones.
Ji Zining, however, said that she cultivated not for any other reason than to protect others!
Such cultivation goals are extremely rare, almost invisible.
Chen Qingqian didn't speak, but instead reached out and firmly grasped Ji Zining's hand, her face filled with deep emotion and love.
This is her daughter, the daughter she is so proud of!
Ji Chenkong snapped out of his daze and smiled gently at Ji Zining.
" Ning'er, remember this too, this will always be your home. Come back whenever you're tired."
"Father and Mother will strive to cultivate themselves and live longer; we will always be here."
Ji Zining smiled and nodded emphatically.
"Yes, Father and Mother."
In the following days, Ji Zining and her group moved to another hall to carry out the next series of events.
Ji Chenkong and Chen Qingqian needed to familiarize themselves with their improved cultivation power, Ji Zining also needed to explain some specific details to them.
Mo Shang and Xiao Jing had nothing else to do but protect Ji Zining and the other two.
Time passed, and soon the sky darkened again, and dusk fell.
Inside the main hall.
Ji Zining stood up and smiled slightly at Ji Chenkong and Chen Qingqian.
"Father, Mother, you two can familiarize yourselves with it some more. I'm going to cultivate now."
Ji Chenkong and Chen Qingqian then stood up and waved to Ji Zining.
"Go on, don't let our cultivation interfere with your own."
"Your mother and I are still waiting for you to protect us."
Upon hearing this, Ji Zining couldn't help but smile.
"Alright, Father and Mother, we'll be going now."
As she spoke, Ji Zining gave a slight nod to Xiao Jing, Mo Shang, and the others.
Mo Shang and the others immediately understood and left the main hall with Ji Zining.
Ji Chenkong and Chen Qingqian watched the group leave, warm smiles on their faces.
Their daughter has grown up!
They've truly grown up; they're no longer the little girls who needed their wings to protect them.
Ji Zining now possesses the ability to spread her wings and protect them beneath them.
Seeing their daughter grow up to this extent fills them with immense joy and pride.
Inside Ji Zining's main hall.
Ji Zining and her group sat cross-legged facing each other.
Mo Shang, Xiao Jing, and the others exchanged glances before asking Ji Zining a question.
" Your Divine Son Hall, did you summon us here because there is something you need to tell us?"
They were just about to return to their main hall when Ji Zining called them back.
All they could think of was that Ji Zining had something to tell them.
Upon hearing this, Ji Zining smiled and nodded.
"I do have something to tell you all. I'm planning to go to the Heavenly Pride Battlefield again."
"However, this time, I'm only going to one place on the Heavenly Pride Battlefield."
"And this place, only you, Mo Shang, know about it."
As soon as the words fell, everyone present turned their gaze to Mo Shang.
They already had a pretty good idea of what that place was.
Mo Shang raised an eyebrow and spoke.
"Is Your Divine Son Hall referring to the secret realm I visited last time?"
Ji Zining nodded again.
"It's that secret realm. I'm very curious about it."
Especially that broken figure you mentioned, capable of shattering your trump card in one blow!
"That secret realm can contain the Great Emperor Dao Fruit; it's likely that Great Emperor perished within it."
"That battered figure was able to shatter the life-saving trump card that Ancestor Li Changsheng gave you in one blow; its strength should not be weaker than Peak Quasi-Emperor."
"I want to catch it and see what it is. Maybe I'll find something unexpected."
Upon hearing this, Mo Shang and the others' pupils constricted sharply.
The broken figure was no weaker than Peak Quasi-Emperor. His Divine Son Hall found it interesting and wanted to capture it to see what it was.
What did they hear?
Peak Quasi-Emperor! That's the Peak Quasi-Emperor!
Why did he become a mere plaything to satisfy the curiosity of His Divine Son Hall?
However, after their initial shock, the group fell silent again, remembering Ji Zining's strength.
Indeed, ordinary Peak Quasi-Emperor at their peak are no different from playthings in front of Ji Zining.
Ji Zining's current strength is terrifying and overwhelming!
Mo Shang took a deep breath, barely managing to calm the shock in his heart.
He raised his head and nodded solemnly to Ji Zining.
" Divine Son Hall wishes to go, Mo Shang will naturally lead the way."
"But Your Divine Son Hall, when do you plan to depart?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jing and the others patted their chests in relief.
"Indeed, if His Divine Son Hall goes, we shall go with him!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Zining glanced at the group and pondered for a moment.
"It should take about the next few days. I'll come back after I've finished the investigation."
It's getting dark soon, and the sign-in opportunities are about to refresh.
Ji Zining wanted to quietly sign in here for a few days before venturing into the secret realm to explore further.
Right now Ji Zining's most pressing concern is breaking through to the Great Emperor!
Even with the Great Emperor Dao Fruit, comprehending the Complete Law is no different from an ordinary person ascending to heaven without the aid of tools.
Therefore, Ji Zining wanted to take a three-pronged approach. First, she wanted to sign in to the system. If she could sign in and get a treasure that could help her break through to the Great Emperor, everything would be perfect.
Secondly, there's the exploration of secret realms. Ji Zining always felt that there was a great secret hidden in the secret realm that Mo Shang went to last time.
Exploring that secret realm should yield some rewards.
Thirdly, it is about comprehending the Great Emperor Dao Fruit.
If the first two attempts fail, the only option is to return to the Ziwei Holy Land, comprehend the Great Emperor Dao Fruit, and attempt to grasp the Complete Law.
There are no Complete Law in the entire universe; to comprehend them, one can only rely on external forces.
Mo Shang nodded solemnly upon hearing Ji Zining's words.
"In that case, as long as His Divine Son Hall gives the word, we can head to the secret realm immediately!"
Ji Zining smiled and waved to Mo Shang and the others.
"Alright, that's all. Go back and cultivate yourselves, and strive to break through to the Quasi-Emperor as soon as possible."
"Even, breaking through to the Great Emperor!"
