Big Bodhi - Chapter 22
Chapter 22: The Sea of Gods!
Could it be that this Tao-robed youth …… is really the Ji family’s grand duke who has been crushing the inner city!”
“Haha, even a noble man from a cultivation family can be in such a mess!”
“It is said that this woman is the extremely famous Miss Zhao Yanran of the Zhao family, who is a significant figure even in the inner city!”
“The Grand Duke Ji Yue Nian was so famous that even a country bumpkin in the outer city knew his name, a heavenly pride who could ignite his heart at the age of just six!”
“I once had the honour of seeing a portrait of Grand Duke Ji Yue Nian, and when I look at it now, I can see that this Tao-robed boy is really the same Grand Duke Ji Yue Nian, who has overpowered his peers!”
“But I heard not long ago that Senior Prince Ji had disappeared into the Qing Luan Mountain Range, a place where demons and monsters roam and where you will surely die!”
Nearly a hundred onlookers were talking, including some from the inner city of the ancient city of Tai Chu, and there were even a few people who had their hearts on fire, looking silently at the few people in the middle of the official road.
Zhao Yanran’s suspicions were confirmed and she couldn’t help but stand still, a look of fear slowly appearing in her eyes.
The Ji family Ji Yue Nian, in the ancient city of Tai Chu, this name has been pressed by people of the same generation for eleven years, although Zhao Yanran has a very special status in the Zhao family, but also do not dare to be reckless in front of Ji Yue Nian.
The only thing is that because of the early death of Ji Yue Nian’s mother, his relationship with the Zhao family is actually quite ordinary, and he rarely interacts with them, except for Zhao Xiao Yun, the second son of the main line of the Zhao family, who is slightly closer to the Ji family.
“So it’s cousin here,” Zhao Yanran thought for a moment, bowing her head and going forward to give a gentle salute, “I didn’t recognise my cousin just now, it was Yanran who was rude.”
Although she had not ignited the fire of her heart, she was carrying several protective treasures, so after settling her mind, she was no longer as afraid as earlier from Ji Yue Nian.
Ji Yue Nian looked at Zhao Yanran, whose attitude had changed drastically, and his eyes were quiet as he said softly, “No need to be so polite, I have no connection with the Zhao family for a long time, and I don’t even know you well, so it’s better not to mention the title of cousin.”
With these words, he turned straight back and walked along the official road in the direction of the inner city.
Ji Bugui glanced at Zhao Yanran, whose gaze was obscure, and Zhao Si Xing, who was sitting on the ground, and gave a light hum as he hurriedly turned his head to follow.
After a few moments of silence, the sound of dense chatter boomed out!
Zhao Si Xing snapped open his eyes, Profound Energy was flowing from the lower half of his face, and hissed, “Miss Yan Ran, Ji Yue Nian, who was rumoured to have died, has suddenly returned unharmed, we should report this matter as soon as possible.”
Nodding gently, Zhao Yanran’s face turned extremely gloomy as she gritted her teeth and said, “This fellow is so rampant! He’s just a wild bastard with a low bloodline!”
Zhao Si Xing’s face suddenly changed dramatically and he spoke sharply, “Miss Yanran, be careful what you say! Be careful with your words!”
Zhao Yanran, aware of her mistake, said nothing more, but went straight ahead and lifted the curtain of the carriage, and stepped into the luxurious carriage, which was intact.
The mother of Ji Yue Nian was named Zhao Yin Yue, the sister of the current head of the Zhao family, but her status was a little different from that of ordinary Zhao family members, as she was born to the old head of the family and a female ghost of unknown origin.
It was only after Ji Hong married Zhao Yin Yue that she gradually gained the status and respect she deserved in the Zhao family. Only seven days after Ji Yuenian was born, Zhao Yinyue, who was only sixteen years old died, causing quite a ripple in the ancient city of Tai Chu.
The North Club is part of the Heavenly Court of the Thirty-three Heavens, with its endless boundaries, and is dedicated to one of the six imperial emperors, the North Pole Emperor Zhenwu, is ruled by the King of Many Wonders, who renounced Buddhism and entered the Heavenly Court.
Except for those who have achieved the Third Calamity, the basic life span of all those who have a name is governed by the spirit book of life and death within the Underworld.
The three calamities are the three major calamities that beings who have reached a certain level of cultivation must pass through in order to transform.
If one has passed the third calamity, one will no longer be subject to the Spirit of Life and Death.
Most ordinary mortals have a basic life expectancy of around a hundred years, and even those with a short life expectancy will have a basic life expectancy of at least seventy years if nothing unexpected happens.
But Zhao Yin Yue died at the age of sixteen years old when the cardamom was in her prime. Even when the Ji family invited Taoist Master He Xuan of the Great Returning Realm to come and examine her, the final conclusion was that Zhao Yin Yue’s soul had died because her life expectancy had been exhausted.
Although still within the Realm of Return, it represents the full completion of the Realm of Return, and if one is lucky enough to go further, one can be ranked at the Realm of the Sea of Gods, which is powerful enough to shock hundreds of thousands of miles around!
Even the most powerful clan in the Yuan Yan realm today, the Tai Yu Ancient Sect, has only a few dozen spirits of the Divine Sea realm.
The Realm of Entry, the Realm of Return, and the Realm of the Divine Sea.
Although there were only three realms, it was unlikely that even one or two Realm of Return to Truth could be born within 100,000 beings, let alone the extremely mysterious Realm of the Divine Sea.
With the departure of the Zhao family carriage, the onlookers slowly dispersed and the wide official road gradually returned to its former calm.
The news of the return of the Ji family’s eldest son, Ji Yue Nian, intact, however, spread with great speed across the magnificent and vast territory of the ancient city of Tai Chu, and for a while all the major cultivation families looked towards the Ji family, waiting to see what the Ji family would do.
Everyone knew that not long ago, the Ji Family had given birth to a heavenly pride comparable to Ji Yue Nian, namely Ji Hong’s daughter, Ji Xi Xue, who was also in the sixth rank of the Heartfire sequence.
The return of Ji Yue Nian unharmed at this time should have been a great joy for the Ji family, but at this time there were only a few dozen days before the opening of the outer sect of the Taiyu Ancient Sect, and the position that the Ji family had obtained to enter the outer sect directly had already fallen to Ji Xi Xue.
Even the great elder Ji Luo Yan, who had always insisted that Ji Bai Yu replace Ji Yue Nian, had nothing to say this time, as the sixth rank of the Heart Flame sequence was enough to silence all opposition within the Ji family.
Two people of the sixth rank in the Heart Flame sequence appeared in the Ji family at the same time, and both were direct descendants of the family head’s line, so who would the Ji family give the position that would allow them to enter the outer sect of the Taiyu Ancient Sect directly? Not only a few cultivating families are waiting to watch a good show, but even many casual practitioners who live in the inner city in the Profound Realm and even the True Realm have all paid attention to Anyang City, where the Ji family is located.
……
One of the eight major cities in the inner city of Tai Chu is Anyang City.
Ji Family.
“What did you say!?” Ji Hong boomed as he rose to his feet and looked deadly at the House Guard Commander Xu Jianghe in front of him, “Nian’er has returned?”
Xu Jianghe’s gaze was solemn as he respectfully saluted, “Master, news of Grand Duke’s return has indeed come from the outer city, and the people I sent out just now have also returned, this is absolutely true!”
