Chapter 816 - 301: Escort Me to the Mansion, Xing Wuji
"Send them to my residence!"...
Gazing at the world’s horizon, Ji Jingqiu never thought that one day he would feel overwhelmed by an endless array of resources.
What does the True Saint Dojo imply, a grand family with vast assets, accumulated over countless years?
This is the answer.
Compared to this, the Federation doesn’t even rank as rural.
He felt a tinge of melancholy.
This time, his clone lived better than the main body.
The one granted him Tao Seed privileges, but restricted them to use on his clone and the advance force entering the Great Universe.
Want to use it on the main body?
It’s possible.
The main body just needs to arrive directly.
But this is clearly impossible. While he covets the resources here, the other surely covets his main body in return.
"Uncle Master, the quota for this time is almost done." Taoist Han Hai counted. "The rest all belong to the overall quota of the advance force."
Ji Jingqiu nodded.
In the end, Taoist Han Hai leaned forward and whispered:
"Uncle Master, a disciple of mine is about to break through the Heavenly Human Boundary, and has been noticed by the dojo, included in the advance force team. I hope Uncle Master, amidst your busy schedule, can spare a glance and take care. The disciple understands all the rules..."
Ji Jingqiu glanced at him and asked casually, "What’s the name?"
Seeing Ji Jingqiu didn’t reject him, Taoist Han Hai was delighted. Although this Uncle Master’s temperament is rebellious, pride and arrogant, he is not one unfamiliar with worldly affairs!
He quickly answered, "Secular name Lou Lan, Dao title You Lan."
"Pack up these items and send them to my residence."
After dropping this line, Ji Jingqiu turned and floated away, with Taoist Han Hai’s shout resounding from behind.
"Rest assured, Uncle Master, the disciple will save them!"
...
Walking back on the path home to the dojo, Ji Jingqiu’s thoughts flowed.
He descended upon the Heavenly Saint Lake as a clone this time, and only Tianqingzi and that True Saint are aware of the truth.
As for the external and internal spread news, he is still considered a disciple brought out by the Ancestor Master.
Regarding the truly high-level personnel within the sect, they merely know he is not a disciple of the Ancestor Master but was "recruited" from outside; the real identity of his clone and main body remains unknown.
Not everyone is qualified to discern that this form is a clone, and that True Saint won’t let it escape notice, having already concealed some of the signs for him.
Among the six Tao Lineages of the Heavenly Saint Lake, it’s roughly a four-to-two situation, four belonging to the Luofu Ancestor Master’s lineage, two to Xing Wuji Ancestor Master’s lineage.
A grand family also implies various complicated relations, internally tangled interests, hidden reefs beneath deep waves.
Since he joined in, he will inevitably be drawn into the game, entangled in various disputes, possibly forced to take sides.
After all, this entry into the Great Universe involves interests so vast that no single family or lineage can swallow it whole.
And that True Saint doesn’t look at the process, only the outcome.
If during this process, Ji Jingqiu is knocked out of the game, then it shows his "dullness."
Similarly, if internal conflict ultimately causes the grand plan not to be carried out effectively or even failure, all families and lineages should prepare their coffins for premature funerals.
Judging by the current situation, his status is still transcendent, and until he expresses obvious inclinations or takes sides, each lineage will prioritize pleasing him.
In the coming years, he’ll be the "leader" at the frontline of the Great Universe for the Heavenly Saint Lake.
Whether he can maintain it further will depend on his skills and capabilities.
As for hoping the team is united, works together, and creates glory...
That can only happen during the humble beginnings, when everyone comes from humble backgrounds. With a team imbued with each lineage’s direct lineage, it’s clearly impossible, as Innate factions have long been established.
"It’s challenging..." Ji Jingqiu thought to himself, "Prioritize securing resources, then quickly head to the Great Universe."
"Uncle Master No Heaven, please wait!"
On his way back, someone intercepted him midway, acting courteous and enthusiastic, "Uncle Master No Heaven, Heavenly Venerate Qingshan is hosting a banquet and invites you to attend."
Ji Jingqiu twitched slightly at the corner of his eye, Heavenly Venerate hosts a banquet, inviting him to attend? The wording used...
Embarrassing, truly embarrassing.
His expression unchanged, he replied in his usual calm tone, "I already have an appointment with the Ancestor Master to contemplate the Supreme Method, I can’t miss it, please convey my apologies to Heavenly Venerate Qingshan."
Rebellious spirit doesn’t mean thoughtless, pride doesn’t imply arrogance, respect should still be shown to a Heavenly Venerate.
According to the recent news he received, this Heavenly Venerate Qingshan also oversees the "law enforcement department" of the Heavenly Saint Lake.
Upon hearing that he is visiting the Ancestor Master for Supreme Method contemplation, the visitor bowed swiftly, saying:
"Then I won’t disturb Uncle Master No Heaven and wish Uncle Master further progress!"
Ji Jingqiu nodded slightly, passing by from beside this Martial Artist whose aura was at least the second level of Heavenly Person, if not the third.
"Thank you for your kind words."
In the Inner World, Hel watched with amazement: "Ji Jingqiu, how did you end up doing better here than in the Federation? Could it be that your side account became the main one? You were really wronged staying in the Federation."
Ji Jingqiu replied indifferently, "If Master He and Master Mu were still alive, I could have been even better in the Federation."
"Which one of the Supreme Method at Heavenly Saint Lake are you going to contemplate?" Hel asked.
"Seems like... ’Reckless’?" Ji Jingqiu had asked in advance to clarify.
Hel’s gaze shifted slightly: "That Lawless Saint’s ’Reckless’? He has already reached the point of detaching the Root Skill?"
"I recall you saying that Supreme Method possesses uniqueness." Ji Jingqiu inquired, "What does detaching the Root Skill mean?"
Hel replied bluntly, "This involves the mystery of Transcendence, even if I explained, you wouldn’t understand. Just think of it as doing subtraction."
Ji Jingqiu returned directly to the dojo, and his Spirit thought entered the Book Pavilion of the Heavenly Saint Lake, arriving at the location of Daoist Collection at the highest point.
Stored here are the Root Skills and top-tier Divine Skills of the Heavenly Saint Lake families and lineages, at least at the Heavenly Venerable level.
"Junior Brother No Heaven."
A calm voice called out from the depths.
Ji Jingqiu bowed respectfully, "Senior Brother Hanqing."
The Heavenly Saint Lake has no Dao Ancestor, the one presiding over at this place is Heavenly Venerate Hanqing of Heavenly Saint Lake, whose cultivation is second only to the two True Saints, calling him a Junior Brother truly grants ample face.
"The Ancestor Master has indicated that Junior Brother may try to comprehend the Supreme Method and see if there’s affinity." Hanqing raised his hand to guide him forward.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Hanqing." Ji Jingqiu expressed gratitude and moved into the depths.
The environment here gave him a sense close to Chaos, with a faint distortion in time and space, the whispers reverberating around were dark and profound.
Ji Jingqiu approached the door of a grand hall, the door opened slowly without wind, revealing the view inside.
Suspended within the hall was a Taoist Talisman, not showing any extraordinary scene, seemingly ordinary, yet carrying the Supreme Method!
Ji Jingqiu’s eyes burned with intensity, stepping in, his Spiritual Thought attempted contact with the Taoist Talisman.
The first thing to emerge in his inner realm was a figure clad in coarse white robes, like an invisible chasm cutting across heaven and earth, exuding Immortal Golden Light, Thousand Ridges Hard to Injure, immune to Ten Thousand Skills, bearing innate majesty.
That figure looked back calmly and said:
[Immune to Ten Thousand Skills, Tribulations Hard to Destroy, regardless of epoch transformation, Dao obliteration, I Reckless Unhindered!]
...
As Ji Jingqiu immersed himself in contemplating "Reckless".
In the depths of the Heavenly Saint Lake, two pairs of eyes gazed distantly.
Following closely behind were the Heavenly Venerables from the Heavenly Saint Lake.
Comprehending the Supreme Method, even if Tian Qiu has yet to step into Heavenly Person, he can be regarded as a "fellow traveler!"
In the Inner World.
The snake tail lightly swayed in the Merit Pool, Hel’s mind and intent accompanied Ji Jingqiu, Divine Travelling through Three Thousand Yanfu, noticing that Supreme Method encompassing the Fruit Position, her gaze shifted slightly.
The Heavenly Saint Lake’s Lawless Saint’s "Reckless", she had heard of it back then.
Among All Saints, though this person was merely an "upstart," his Daoist skill reached the heavens, his combat power astonishing, not inferior to predecessors.
And his progress was fast, in just a million years, his Daoist career has nearly chased one of the most ancient True Saints, Shouzhen.
Yet Hel also did not expect that this person could have reached the level of stripping the Root Skill so quickly!
This step is a key one on the path of transcendence, whether it’s the past Mu Shitian or He Donghuang, neither has stepped on it.
The path taken by the former compared to common transcendence was diametrically opposite, with lofty ideals, unruly spirit, not diminishing but increasing.
As for the latter, more ignorant than fearless...
Hel’s eyes flickered, seemingly with a galaxy rotation, epoch birth and death scene unfolding within, compared to before, her aura grew deeper and older.
Earlier, whether "Formless Heavenly Demon Technique" or "Big Dream of Thousands of Autumns", neither could be considered a complete Supreme Method.
She’s about to see whether this guy truly, as claimed, possesses supreme talent, god-like wisdom, and can comprehend this Supreme Method containing Dao Fruit!
