17: Little fangirl, the center of the secret realm, the pride of the true dragon clan

"Wow, Brother Ji, you're amazing!" Ji Ziyan ran over, hugging Ji Yi's arm and praising him. Ji Ziyan was now Ji Yi's number one fan.

"Basic operation, nothing special," Ji Yi said, feigning pride.

"Hehehe... Brother Ji, you're so vain." Ji Ziyan was amused by Ji Yi's expression.

"Ji Yi, I didn't expect Tang Xuangu to last only a few moves against you. You're truly incredible," Ji Yu similarly praised, while Ji Zhou nodded repeatedly beside him.

"Brother Ji Yu, there's no need to praise me. You were also suppressing both of them just now." Ji Yi hadn't expected Ji Yu, a God King Body, to be so strong.

"I'm just benefiting from this Ancient Mystic Realm. My Divine Ability's power is 50% stronger here, which is why I could suppress Tang Xuangu." Ji Yu felt a bit ashamed; he knew his own limits. Outside, he might not be Tang Xuangu's match.

"By the way, how did you two end up fighting them?"

"Because of this." Ji Yu pulled out two six-leaf divine blood grass.

"Two High Grade divine blood grass, no wonder." Ji Yi understood.

"Thanks to your help, Ji Yi, we're all family. How about we each take half? What do you all think?"

"I agree!" Ji Ziyan said excitedly.

"I have no objections." Ji Zhou agreed.

"This... Brother Ji Yu, since you said we're family, I'll respectfully accept." Ji Yi smiled.

After refining half a High Grade divine blood grass each, Ji Yi had already converted 90% of his Qi and blood into essence blood. With one more divine blood grass, he would be completely successful. The Ancient Mystic Realm was indeed a Treasure Trove for the Blood Moving Realm.

Ji Ziyan had also converted 70% of her Qi and blood into essence blood, Ji Yu 75%, and Ji Zhou 60%. When they entered the Secret Realm, their location was closer to the center, so they obtained quite a few divine blood grass.

At this point, Ji Yi and his group were not far from the center of the Secret Realm, and they continued to advance towards the center on the Violet-Gold Eagle.

They encountered more and more living beings on the way, including native Yao Race, Human Race, and Yao Race Prodigies.

Everyone was in groups of two or three, wary of each other, and rarely engaged in combat unless they encountered High Grade divine blood grass or had deep grudges. Otherwise, everyone was relatively restrained.

Ji Yi and his group once again seized several divine blood grass. Under mutual protection, the four of them each refined one. Ji Yi had now converted all his Qi and blood into essence blood. Feeling the explosive power hidden within his body, Ji Yi expressed great satisfaction.

Next was to use Spiritual Qi to refine his Qi and blood. This step was originally a slow and painstaking process. After all, although Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi seemed gentle in the world, once absorbed into the body, it would become violent. Perhaps, this was Heaven and Earth preventing living beings from Heaven-Defying their fate.

The reason the Ancient Mystic Realm attracted so many Prodigies, besides the divine blood grass, was the presence of a Spirit Medicine in the center of the Secret Realm—the spirit accumulation grass. This Spirit Medicine had no other effects; it simply contained a large amount of gentle Spiritual Qi, making it the best aid for refining Qi and blood in the Blood Moving Realm.

Ji Yi and his group arrived at the center of the Secret Realm. What greeted their eyes were towering tombstones. According to the clues left in the various clans' ancient texts, people speculated that this was the graveyard of the primordial God Race.

The divine blood grass was an ordinary Spiritual Plant that mutated after being bathed in the fresh blood of Ancient God powerhouses. As for the spirit accumulation grass in this graveyard, it mutated after the Ancient Gods ascended in this place, their divine bodies releasing massive amounts of Spiritual Qi, which nourished ordinary Spiritual Plants, combined with the unique rules of this place.

One after another, the top Prodigies of various clans arrived here. The Jiang Family siblings also successfully met up with Ji Yi and his group.

Ji Yi saw Tang Xuangu and his group, staying with the two Wang Teng brothers. They seemed to have recovered well, but their gazes towards Ji Yi were filled with apprehension.

Wang Teng, however, looked at Ji Yi with a hint of eagerness. After all, Celestial Tyrant Body cultivators were battle maniacs, just like Ancient Holy Body cultivators, and loved combat the most.

However, perhaps considering that it was not appropriate to act for now, he shifted his gaze away.

Li Wushuang, the Space-Time Holy Body from Shiyuan Holy Land, had also arrived, as had Xiao Yu, the Immortal King Holy Body from Yaoguang Holy Land. Both were surrounded by several Prodigies.

On the Yao Race side, the True Dragon Clan, Demon Phoenix Clan, White Tiger Clan, Spirit Monkey Clan, and Qilin Clan also appeared. The White Tiger Clan was left with only Tiger Hill as a lone figure, as Tiger Hill had already been killed by Ji Yi.

Ji Yi and his group headed all the way towards the center of the graveyard. The Ancient God graveyard was filled with a suppressive aura. The deeper they went, the greater the pressure. Without entering the Four-Forbidden Domain, one couldn't even survive in the outer periphery of the graveyard.

Ji Yi initially thought Ji Ziyan would have a difficult time, as she had only entered the Five-Forbidden Domain. But unexpectedly, Ji Ziyan seemed very relaxed. She said she didn't feel any pressure; instead, she felt a calling from afar, urging her to go there.

Ji Yi could only lament that a Female Emperor's Reincarnation was truly extraordinary.

"I also feel a calling from that direction," Ji Yu said.

"In that case, let's split up and act in pairs," Ji Yi suggested.

"Alright." The Ji Family brothers and the Jiang Family siblings nodded. After all, the spirit accumulation grass was limited, and it would be difficult to distribute if everyone stayed together.

Ji Yi naturally teamed up with Ji Ziyan. The two walked in the direction Ji Ziyan felt the calling. The deeper they went, the greater the pressure, but Ji Yi's Holy Body was powerful, allowing him to move as usual.

From time to time, sounds of battle came from afar. That was someone discovering spirit accumulation grass and fighting over it.

After circling another tombstone, Ji Yi and Ji Ziyan finally discovered a small grass emitting a faint glow.

"It's a Medium Grade spirit accumulation grass. Our luck is good. I'll hold onto it for you, and we'll split it when we go back." Ji Yi handed the spirit accumulation grass to Ji Ziyan.

"Brother Ji, you should hold onto it. You're stronger than me, so you don't have to worry about others snatching it," Ji Ziyan pushed it back.

"Alright." Ji Yi felt it didn't matter; they were all family.

They continued to walk deeper, enduring the pressure. The deeper they went, the higher the Spiritual Qi concentration, and the more spirit accumulation grass they found, with better quality.

After walking ten miles, the graveyard still stretched endlessly. Here, Ji Yi felt a lot more pressure. He tried moving and found his speed had slowed by 20%.

Some Prodigies who had only entered the Four-Forbidden Domain were already struggling to walk here. This was their limit.

Ji Yi once again obtained two spirit accumulation grass, one Low Grade and one Medium Grade. He also encountered people who tried to snatch them, but Ji Yi dealt with them with two sword strikes, and incidentally killed a Yao Race Prodigy.

After walking another two miles, Ji Yi's gaze was drawn by a soft light.

"It's a High Grade spirit accumulation grass!" Ji Yi said in surprise, quickly taking Ji Ziyan with him to pick it.

"Human Race, this is ours!" A voice came, and at the same time, Ji Yi felt a surge of blood Qi rapidly approaching from the side. Ji Yi activated his Divine Movement Steps, pulling Ji Ziyan to dodge a finger attack.

The finger attack struck the ground, leaving a finger-hole of unseen depth.

Two True Dragon Clan Prodigies looked at Ji Yi and Ji Ziyan across the spirit accumulation grass. This battle was inevitable.
