A Display of Strength, a Confession from His Parents

Ji Yichuan, Yuchi Xue, Ji Ning were visibly taken aback.

"Father, you are Violet Palace Cultivator?" Ji Ning asked incredulously.

After living like this for so many years, how could he not know his father's true level of understanding?!

Ji Yichuan and Yuchi Xue reacted even more violently.

Ji Yichuan's pupils shrank sharply, and a look of horror flashed across his face.

In his understanding, unless a cultivator actively releases their aura, their cultivation level cannot be perceived by others, and even cultivators of the same level would find it difficult to discern.

Otherwise, the six major powers of Yan Mountain would definitely know that he, the strongest person in the Ji Clan West Prefecture, is a Violet Palace Cultivator.

But Ji An actually saw through his level of understanding in a single sentence, which completely overturned his perception.

Yuchi Xue asked curiously, "An'er, how did you know?" Even though she had an extraordinary background, she was still just Xiantian Lifeform and didn't have much knowledge.

Ji An naturally couldn't reveal that he was a time traveler and knew the plot of "Mang Huang Ji".

He hesitated for a moment, then made up an excuse. "Father, Mother, these are some of my special methods."

Ji Yichuan nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He could tell that Ji An didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't force him.

After all, if what Ji An said is true, his son's strength is already above his own. Since Ji An doesn't want to talk about it, he won't ask anymore.

"My cultivation level is known only to a few people in the family. You are still young, so I haven't told you," Ji Yichuan explained to Ji An and Ji Ning.

Both of them nodded, indicating their understanding.

Ji Yichuan then said, "An'er, now that you've returned and your strength has greatly improved, let's return to the manor now. As for sparring—" His eyes blazed with fighting spirit, "We'll spar with you again after we return, so that your father can also experience the Dao Domain!"

As they spoke, the group boarded Azureflame Bird Azureflame Bird, which let out a long cry and headed towards the Ji Clan West Prefecture.

The martial arts training ground of the Ji Clan West Prefecture had already been cleared out by Ji Yichuan's orders.

At this moment, Ji Yichuan's gaze was fixed intently on Ji An, his fighting spirit and curiosity no longer concealed.

"An'er," Ji Yichuan's voice was steady and powerful, "Now, let me personally experience what the Dao Domain is!"

Ji An didn't say much, but simply nodded quietly.

Yuchi Xue pulled Ji Ning back to the sidelines, both mother and son filled with intense curiosity. Ji Ning stared intently at his father and brothers in the arena.

A moment later, no one expected this outcome.

Suppression! Absolute suppression!

The competition began in a one-sided manner.

It wasn't that Ji Yichuan suppressed Ji An, but rather that Ji An, who was only eight years old and had just broken through to the Xiantian Lifeform Realm, actually suppressed Ji Yichuan, who was Violet Palace Cultivator and the strongest in the Western Prefecture, completely with his profound and unpredictable "Dao Domain"!

It should be noted that Ji Yichuan is Violet Palace Cultivator has comprehended the Dao Intent, and is considered a strong figure within the Violet Palace.

Ji Yichuan's expression was extremely solemn. He used his movement technique to the extreme, and his sword moves were continuous. He brought out the True Meaning of Dripping Water "Dripping Water Scripture" to the fullest extent. Points of sword light enveloped Ji An like a rain curtain.

However, faced with that terrifying Thunderfire Domain, every attack of Ji Yichuan, no matter how tricky the angle or how powerful the attack, was weakened by the omnipresent power of Thunderfire and fire once it entered the domain.

Ji An's counterattack was simple and direct. Each sword strike drew upon the power of his domain, accompanied by Thunderfire, making it powerful and heavy. This forced Ji Yichuan to constantly dodge and parry, leaving him looking quite disheveled.

Yuchi Xue and Ji Ning, who were watching from the sidelines, were completely stunned. They had thought that Ji Yichuan would lose, but they did not expect it to be this bad.

Yuchi Xue covered her mouth, her eyes filled with shock. "This is the power of the Dao Domain?!"

Looking at the small figure in the arena, who seemed to Ruler like Thunderfire, and then at her husband Ji Yichuan, who was being forced to retreat, a storm raged in her heart.

She knew how strong Ji Yichuan was, and she understood the enormous chasm between Violet Palace Cultivators and Xiantian Lifeform.

However, the wildly dancing lightning snakes and blazing flames created a scene that shook her very soul.

This was no longer a friendly sparring match; it was more like a god who controlled a portion of the power of Heaven and Earth simply displaying his strength!

"An'er... he's actually come to this?" As a mother, she was naturally overjoyed that her son had become so powerful.

Ji Ning's eyes widened, his face filled with excitement and longing.

"Brother--So amazing!" In his eyes, Ji An stood there, surrounded by Thunderfire, just like a Legend war god.

His father's powerful swordsmanship, which he admired from afar, became so powerless in his brother's domain.

He clearly "saw" that his father's movements within that terrifying realm seemed to slow down, while his brother's sword carried a world-destroying power.

"Is this the Dao Domain? Controlling a Heaven and Earth —I must be like my brother someday!" The power Ji An displayed at this moment filled Ji Ning with longing.

Ji Yichuan, as the person directly involved, has the most authentic feelings.

With each thrust of his sword, he felt immense resistance. The omnipresent power of Thunderfire and fire was not only attacking his body, but his proud sword intent from the "Dripping Water Scripture" was also completely suppressed in this domain.

What shocked him even more was Ji An's control over the power. The seemingly violent Thunderfire Domain, while diminishing the power of his attacks, never harmed him.

"This is the power of the True Meaning of the Dao sublimated to the Domain Stage —it can actually cross such a huge gap between realms! Violet Palace Cultivators are so powerless in the face of a Domain Realm?!" He felt a deep sense of powerlessness, but even more so, an indescribable excitement and ecstasy!

The exchange did not last long.

Ji An once again drew upon the power of his domain, unleashing a sword light infused with the Thunderfire True Meaning, while Ji Yichuan condensed the strongest defensive sword barrier.

"Boom!"

The sword curtain trembled violently. Although Ji Yichuan successfully blocked the attack, his arm holding the sword was still slightly numb.

He took a deep breath, his eyes showing no trace of defeat or frustration, but rather filled with unparalleled pride and satisfaction.

He sheathed his sword and stood still, saying, "Alright! Stop, An'er! You do indeed possess the strength of the Violet Palace Complete now."

Even in his perception, his son, who was only at the Early Xiantian, was considered a strong person in the Violet Palace Complete, except for his endurance.

Upon hearing this, Ji An's mind stirred, and the Thunderfire Domain dissipated.

Ji Yichuan strode up to Ji An, patted his son's shoulder forcefully, his eyes filled with complex emotions, but he laughed heartily, "Haha! Good! What a Dao Domain! What a fine Ji An! Truly worthy of being my son, Ji Yichuan's son."

Although he was suppressed throughout, this result made him happier than if he had surpassed his son a thousand times over.

This means that his son, Ji An, has truly earned the right to soar through the heavens.

Yuchi Xue led Ji Ning over quickly, and when she looked at Ji An, tears of relief welled up in her eyes.

Ji Ning then came to Ji An's side, her face full of admiration. "Brother, you're amazing! I want to learn that Dao Domain too!"

"Alright, alright, Xiao Ning will definitely be better than her brother in the future." Ji An patted Ji Ning's head and said.

Ji Yichuan and Yuchi Xue smiled slightly after hearing this, taking it as encouragement for their younger brother.

After all, in their eyes, although Ji Ning's talent was already very strong, it was still far inferior to their eldest son.

Even Ji Ning felt that it was his older brother who was encouraging him.

Only Ji An himself knew that he was simply expressing his feelings.

"Oh, right, Father and Mother, these are what I found in that hidden place." Ji An said, taking out the storage treasures from the Mustard Stone. "Because I don't cultivate the Qi Refining method, I couldn't use them, so Father had to open them."

"So many?" Ji Yichuan exclaimed in surprise, looking at the numerous storage treasures before him.

Because Ji An had not yet Qi Refining, he could only store all his storage treasures into the Mustard Stone.

Ji Yichuan refined the items one by one, and the more he refined, the more surprised he became.

"What's wrong?" Yuchi Xue asked.

"There are probably close to ten thousand magical treasures," Ji Yichuan exclaimed.

"So many!" Yuchi Xue was also surprised. Although they didn't care much about second-rate magic treasures, tens of thousands of the Five Prefectures of the Ji Clan covet them.

"By the way, Father, don't touch the swords and wings inside yet; they'll be useful later," Ji An reminded him.

Sword-type magical treasures were naturally reserved for Ji Ning. As for Ji An, although he had reached the realm of Divine Sense, he did not like the myriad swords type and still preferred the single sword.

Therefore, let's leave the "Minor Thousand Sword Formation" to Ji Ning.

Before Ji Yichuan and his wife could even process the many magical treasures they had obtained, Ji An added, "This time, I acquired a treasure in a hidden place, which is of the greatest benefit to the Ji Clan, and it will also be of some use to Mother."

"What?" Ji Yichuan Yuchi Xue looked over.

Ji An flipped his hand and took out the "Inner Contemplation of the Sun-Moon Radiance Buddha" manual. "The Method of Visualization!" Ji Yichuan, Yuchi Xue, Ji Ning spoke at the same time.

"It seems you all know each other," Ji An said.

Yuchi Xue looked at the "Inner Contemplation of the Sun-Moon Radiance Buddha" and said, "Back then, my Yuchi Clan also had a Visualization Scroll, but it was lost in the tribal wars. However, An'er, this visualization method is a way to condense the soul. The soul is the foundation of a person. It is usually difficult to see the benefits, but these benefits are intangible and extremely helpful. Keep this for yourself and visualize it often."

Ji An said, "By chance in a secluded place, my memories have been imbued with a visualization scroll! It's even clearer than this! And if I'm not mistaken, in my perception, you must have suffered some kind of hidden injury, right?"

"Moreover, this hidden injury has been draining your life force."

"Mother, you have suffered a hidden injury!" Upon hearing this, Ji Ning disregarded the visualization technique that Ji An had taken out and grabbed Yuchi Xue anxiously.

For Ji Ning, this mother was definitely the closest person to him in this life, so hearing these words naturally made him anxious.

Ji Yichuan and Yuchi Xue's expressions changed. They exchanged a glance, and Ji Yichuan nodded. "I'll speak. Ning'er, you can go out now."

In his view, his eldest son's strength had already surpassed his own at this point, and his eldest son had always been more mature than his younger son.

"Father!" Ji Ning said urgently, "I must hear about Mother's matter!"

"Father, let Xiao Ning hear it too. I believe Xiao Ning will stay calm," Ji An said.

Others may not know, but he does know his younger brother. He's not as naive as he appears; after all, he's a reincarnated being with memories just like him.

"Sigh, alright." Looking at his youngest son's stubborn eyes, Ji Yichuan sighed, "Back then, when your mother was pregnant, your mother and I decided to return to the Ji Clan. Your uncle was worried and insisted on escorting us all the way."

"Uncle?" Ji Ning had never known that she had an uncle.

"Your uncle's name was Yuchi Shan." Ji Yichuan's eyes held a hint of reminiscence. "Your uncle was very intelligent, knew how to conduct himself, and had many friends. He even became Violet Palace Cultivator at a young age. If it weren't for escorting your mother and me, your uncle might have had a chance to rebuild the Yuchi Clan. Unfortunately, your uncle died. He died to save our family of four. Our lives were saved by your uncle's sacrifice! This great kindness—is hard to repay!"

"Father, don't worry, I will definitely be able to repay you in the future," Ji An assured him. Although he dared not hope to reach the realm of a Ji An World Deity, Ji An was confident that he could become True Immortal. At that time, he would naturally be able to go to the Underworld to find his uncle's reincarnation.

"Sigh." Ji Yichuan and Yuchi Xue nodded, taking it as Ji An trying to comfort them.

"What exactly happened back then? Who killed my uncle and caused my mother to suffer hidden injuries?" Ji Ning pressed, "Who was it?"

"An'er, Ning'er, do you know about the six major powers of Yan Mountain?" Ji Yichuan didn't answer, but only asked a question.

The two nodded, Ji An said, "I know that there are six major overlords on the Yan Mountain land: my Ji Clan, Bianhe Clan, Kou Clan, Blackfire Sect, Tiemu Clan, and Snow Dragon Mountain. Among them, my Ji Clan, Bianhe Clan, Kou Clan, and Blackfire Sect are on the same side, and Tiemu Clan and Snow Dragon Mountain are also allied with each other."

"That Tiemu Clan is nothing to mention!" Ji Yichuan's eyes flashed with killing intent. "But Snow Dragon Mountain is a truly terrifying opponent, truly terrifying. The Snow Dragon Mountain on my Yan Mountain land is merely a branch of the true Snow Dragon Mountain sect."

"The true culprit behind your mother's injury is within the Snow Dragon Mountain sect."

Ji Yichuan looked at his two sons, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I can only tell you that he is a disciple of Snow Dragon Mountain, and his grandfather is the peak master of one of Snow Dragon Mountain's peaks, a being at the Primordial Spirit Daoist level."

Ji Ning's expression changed.

Primordial Spirit Daoist?

He hadn't even reached the Xiantian yet, but he knew that such an existence was extremely terrifying; such a person had never appeared in the Yan Mountain region before.

"Father, he's just Primordial Spirit Daoist. In a few years, I'll bring his head to Mother and make him apologize!" Ji An said directly.

Yuchi Xue's expression changed. "An'er, there's no need for that. The real culprit is just that Snow Dragon Mountain disciple. There's no need to take the risk."

"It's alright, Mother. I won't take any risks. I know what I'm doing," Ji An reassured her.

The two of them had no idea what the Dao Domain at the age of eight meant.

"Mother, the most important thing for you is to wait a few more years. By then, I will have a way to save you."
