Arrival and Revelation

"Observe me, and you will see the Tao—my Tao is not in the Buddha, but within myself!" Ji An suddenly understood the meaning of "The Universe".

Without further hesitation, he closed his eyes again, immersing his mind in his Sea of Consciousness, and began to focus his visualization on the Silver Battle Armor, which resembled a deity.

This visualization went incredibly smoothly.

That phantom seemed to be an extension of his soul, a projection of the essence of his life.

Every detail perfectly matched his own personality. Ji An didn't need to deliberately depict it; he could bring the illusory image to life simply through instinctive visualization.

"Buzz--"

His Sea of Consciousness trembled violently, as if the Heaven Opening.

The silvery light flowing from the phantom warmly enveloped Ji An's soul.

A power far purer than when he had previously visualized the Buddha continuously flowed into Ji An's soul.

Like a warm tide, it washed over Ji An's soul.

Ji An felt his soul rejoicing and transforming.

Ji An felt that the strength of his soul was growing at an astonishing rate, and his senses were becoming incredibly sharp.

Within a radius of several dozen feet, the flow of the lake water, the path of the breeze, the wriggling of insects in the soil, and even the fluctuations of the thin primordial energy in the air—every detail was clearly reflected in his "heart".

This is not visual perception, but purely spiritual perception.

Moreover, Ji An knew that he could manipulate them with just a thought!

"Divine Sense! Divine Sense has been born!" Ji An was overjoyed.

As the soul grows stronger, various strange phenomena will appear.

Ordinary Violet Palace Cultivator can multitask!

Ordinary Wanxiang Adept, manifesting Divine Sense!

The Primordial Spirit Daoist, on the other hand, Heaven Opening Eye and manifests his Divine Consciousness!

The method of visualization is extremely mysterious and rare; there is not even a mention of visualization in the Ji Clan.

Want a powerful soul? Generally, it involves tempering your will, comprehending the Dao, and improving your physical body to nourish your soul.

This is also the main reason why Ji An Water Manor, since he needs time to hone his skills in other areas.

Enlightenment is relatively easy to achieve, but cultivating one's physical body and will requires a long period of tempering.

With the completion of the visualization method.

The silver light on the books slowly faded, returning them to their ancient appearance.

Ji An slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, his eyes were like deep pools and ancient wells, containing divine light. An invisible spiritual pressure quietly spread from him, making the surrounding air seem to freeze for a moment.

Just then, Ji An suddenly looked into the distance.

When Ji An entered the Immortal Abode, Ji Clan West Prefecture.

The table was laden with a sumptuous feast of demon beast meat, while Ji Yichuan held an ancient bamboo tube, slowly sipping a spicy liquor. A rare sense of tranquility and warmth permeated the atmosphere.

The couple were talking about how An'er was doing during her training trip, while Ji Ning was engrossed in eating.

However, at this heartwarming moment, "Bang!"

A crisp sound broke the silence as Ji Yichuan dropped the bamboo wine vessel from his hand.

He suddenly stood up, his face turning extremely pale in an instant. His previously calm eyes were now filled with shock and a hint of fear!

"Yichuan?" Yuchi Xue was startled by her husband's violent movements, and her heart jumped into her throat.

She knew Ji Yichuan too well. As the strongest man in the Ji Clan West Prefecture, his temperament Rock. For him to lose his composure like this in front of his family was no small matter!

"What's wrong? What happened?" Yuchi Xue's voice was anxious.

"Nothing!" Ji Yichuan denied almost instinctively, trying to cover something up, but his expression betrayed him.

"Still lying to me?" Yuchi Xue frowned, staring intently at her husband. "Your face can't hide anything!"

"Given your state of mind, how could ordinary things cause you such turmoil? Tell me quickly, what's wrong? Is it An'er—" A woman's intuition instantly connected the matter to her eldest son.

"Father?!" Ji Ning looked up, forgetting to chew the meat in his mouth, his little face full of astonishment. He had never seen his father like this before.

Looking at his wife's anxious eyes, Ji Yichuan glanced at his youngest son and sighed heavily, saying, "It's An'er—"

I can no longer sense the jade sword on his body.

"Can't sense the jade sword?" Yuchi Xue's face turned deathly pale in an instant, her body swayed, and then she coughed violently. "Cough! Cough cough--You, explain yourself!"

"Xue!" Ji Yichuan quickly helped his wife up, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Yuchi Xue gripped Ji Yichuan's arm tightly, her voice trembling. "Tell me! How could you not sense it? Didn't you say that as long as the jade sword was on the Yan Mountain land, no matter how far away, you could sense its location? Could it be that An'er... met with some misfortune?" Before she could finish the last few words, her eyes were already brimming with tears.

"Calm down, Xue!" Ji Yichuan said, "If we can't sense the jade sword, there are usually only two possibilities!"

"The first possibility," his voice deepened, "Is that An'er encountered an extremely terrible danger. He didn't even have time to crush the jade sword to warn them; the sword was instantly destroyed by the enemy, turning to ashes!"

"Impossible!" Yuchi Xue interrupted Ji Yichuan, shaking her head. "An'er is already Xiantian Lifeform, and he cultivates the Crimsonbright Nine Heavens Diagram! His strength is comparable to the Xiantian Complete. Even Violet Palace expert couldn't possibly prevent him from even having a chance to shatter the jade sword!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yichuan nodded and said, "Yes! You're right. So, the second possibility is more likely!"

He looked at his wife and youngest son, and said, word by word, "An'er may have—accidentally entered a ruin! He was instantly teleported to another space, which is why the connection between the jade sword and me was severed."

"Stumbled into ruins?" Yuchi Xue felt a little relieved, but her worries did not diminish at all.

She was knowledgeable and well aware of the unpredictable dangers of those ancient ruins, where opportunity often came with peril.

An'er is only eight years old. Although she possesses extraordinary strength, she is vulnerable to any unexpected events.

"Where was the last place you sensed the location of the jade sword?" Yuchi Xue pressed.

"At Winged Serpent Lake!" Ji Yichuan confirmed.

"Winged Serpent Lake— " Yuchi Xue murmured the name, her eyes filled with even deeper worry. There was a Xiantian Complete demon beast living there!

She said decisively, "We're going to Wing-cough! Cough-cough--" Before she could finish speaking, another heart-wrenching cough erupted, and her body swayed precariously.

This is a lingering effect of what happened back then.

"Mother!" Ji Ning jumped up from her seat and rushed to Yuchi Xue's side, her little face full of worry, tightly holding her mother's hand.

"Xue! Don't move!" Ji Yichuan pressed his wife back into her seat, his tone leaving no room for argument. "How can you go in this condition? I'll go! I'll go find Aunt Hua and borrow her Azureflame Bird! We'll get to Winged Serpent Lake as fast as we can!"

"How can I not go if An'er is in danger?" Yuchi Xue shook her head. "You know this is a lingering illness from when I was pregnant with An'er and Ning'er. It's nothing."

"Father, I want to go too!" Ji Ning, who was holding Yuchi Xue's hand, also said, "Brother, if there's danger, I want to go and see too."

Over the past few years, he had come to regard Ji An as his younger brother (although he called him "big brother" in his mouth), so naturally he was going now!

Ji An looked at the giant Azureflame Bird flying in from afar, with three figures—two large and one small—standing on its back.

As a Xiantian Godfiend, Ji An could see clearly that they were his parents and younger brother.

"I forgot to take out the jade sword!" Ji An slapped his forehead and then hurriedly went to meet him.

As Ji An walked on the lake, the water parted automatically, and Ji An quickly went to meet him.

The three of them Azureflame Bird on the lake shore before Ji An arrived.

Earlier, Ji Yichuan had already sensed the location of the jade sword again, so the three of them were no longer as anxious as they had been at the beginning.

"An'er!" Yuchi Xue called out first.

"Mother!" Ji An rushed forward to support Yuchi Xue, knowing her physical condition.

"An'er." As soon as Yuchi Xue came over, she took her son's hand and looked at him carefully.

"Don't worry, Ji An is fine." Ji Yichuan looked at Ji An, "How did you end up in Winged Serpent Lake? Although your strength is comparable to the Xiantian Complete, you're no match for that old serpent in this Winged Serpent Lake."

"Father, I came out this time specifically to find this Winged Serpent. Among the Xiantian Complete around here, it's the furthest from those Violet Palace demon beasts," Ji An explained. "Moreover, I've already slain the great Winged Serpent."

This reason is certainly not the real reason, but you can't just say that he knew there was an opportunity here and came here to seize it.

"You killed the Winged Serpent?" Ji Yichuan looked at his son, while Yuchi Xue and Ji Ning beside him were also somewhat incredulous. They both knew their son and brother weren't liars, but this was just too much—

It should be known that the Great Winged Serpent is a demonic beast with divine beast blood. In the Ji Clan West Prefecture, apart from Ji Yichuan, only the Fire God "Ji Lie" can suppress it.

Even Ji Yichuan couldn't defeat the Winged Serpent in the water.

Ji An said, "Father, please take a look."

With a wave of his hand, a huge creature with wounds on its body appeared out of thin air on the beach beside them—it was Winged Serpent.

Looking at the corpse before them, Ji Yichuan and Yuchi Xue couldn't help but exchange a glance.

"An'er, what is your strength?" Ji Yichuan asked.

Seeing the three men's confusion, Ji An explained, "Father, that Winged Serpent didn't recognize me. I provoked it, and that's when it came out. It was on the shore that I killed it."

Ji Yichuan nodded. When his eldest son went out to train, he had already mastered the "Thunderfire Sword Fragment" to perfection. It was understandable that he could kill the Winged Serpent by surprise on land.

"Father, Mother, and Xiao Ning have come here, presumably because they know I've entered a hidden place?" Ji An asked.

The three nodded.

"My sudden disappearance has worried my father and mother," Ji An said guiltily.

As he came out, Ji An remembered the jade sword. When he went in, he was too excited to think about that.

It wouldn't be a big deal if Father found out, but Mother Yuchi Xue already had a hidden injury, and she would probably feel bad if she got emotional.

"It's not your fault," Ji Yichuan sighed. "Back when I was traveling around, I saw ruins many times, but I never went inside."

Although there are many opportunities within the ruins, out of hundreds that enter, it's a miracle if even one survives. We're very happy that you came out alive."

"Father, I comprehended the Dao Domain of Thunderfire in that hidden place," Ji An said.

"The Dao Domain!" Yuchi Xue and Ji Yichuan exclaimed in surprise.

Ji Ning, standing to the side, asked with a puzzled look, "Father, Mother, what is the Dao Domain?"

Ji Ning's current knowledge of the realms is limited to the basics of "Unity of Man and Sword" and "Unity of Heaven and Man," as well as the True Meaning of the Dao, which even Violet Palace Cultivators find difficult to comprehend.

"The Dao Domain is a realm above the Dao Intent, but we don't know anything beyond that." Ji Yichuan shook his head.

If it weren't for Yuchi Xue's noble lineage and Ji Yichuan's experience of venturing out into the world, they probably wouldn't even know this name. After all, in a small tribe like the Ji Clan, the leader of the Violet Palace Cultivator might never even see Wanxiang Adept in their entire life, let alone the Dao Domain, which even ordinary Wanxiang Adept cannot comprehend.

"Is this truly the Dao Domain?" Yuchi Xue exclaimed excitedly. "My son is only eight years old, yet he has already reached the Realm of the True Meaning of the Dao, and has also cultivated the 'Crimsonbright Nine Heavens Diagram,' known as the most difficult Godfiend Body Refinement technique. Even back in the day, such talent would have made it easy for him to see our ancestor in our Yuchi Clan."

Although the ancestor of the Yuchi Clan was not Earth Immortal like the first ancestor, he was still a Primordial Spirit powerhouse. The strongest person Yuchi Xue knew was the ancestor of the Yuchi Clan.

What she didn't know was that even Void-Returning Earth Immortal would be eager to take in someone with Ji An's talent. With the "True Meaning of the Grand Dao of Heaven and Earth," he would be a disciple even Heavenly Immortal would covet.

"No rush, no rush," Ji Yichuan said. "An'er, could you demonstrate it so I can see?"

He had been in the Dao Intent for many years, yet he still did not know what the Legend Dao Domain was like.

"Father, please take a look." Ji An's mind stirred.

In an instant, Thunder Light exploded and flames soared. The space around Ji An, spanning ten zhang, transformed into a Thunderfire Domain with arcs of electricity and flames. A destructive pressure spread out, scorching the surrounding vegetation. However, under Ji An's control, the power of this domain did not harm the three of them in the slightest.

"Is this the Dao Domain?" Ji Yichuan, whose cultivation was the closest, was able to sense the Dao contained within it, and naturally watched with rapt attention.

Ji Ning and Yuchi Xue, one due to his low cultivation level and the other due to an old injury, could only sense the power of this domain.

"Really, really--" Ji Yichuan didn't know what to say.

Even in the Northern Nether Sea the past, he had never seen such a monstrous talent.

Perhaps only those Legend tribes and sects could possess such a thing.

Ji An withdrew his domain and then said, "After comprehending this domain, my strength is now comparable to that of a cultivator at the Violet Palace Complete."

"Violet Palace Complete?!" the three exclaimed simultaneously.

Keep in mind that the strongest member of the Ji Clan is only at the Violet Palace Complete, and this son (elder brother) is only a few years old!

Ji Yichuan couldn't help but ask, "An'er, are you sure?" It wasn't that he didn't trust his son, but this was simply too astonishing.

"Yes, Father," Ji An affirmed. "In my perception, Father is not a Xiantian Lifeform. How about we spar again?"
