25: Invincible Dao Heart, Experience, Land of Hundred Sects

Ji Yi and Ji Ziyan both showed expressions of serious listening, as they eagerly wanted to know the answer.

"Hehe, I think you, Little Ji Yi, and Little Ziyan, are stronger than a God King," the Third Ancestor said with a smile.

"Third Ancestor, please don't joke," Ji Yi said with a bitter smile.

"Third Ancestor isn't joking. In the same Realm, do you, Ji Yi, not have the confidence to surpass a God King?"

"In the same Realm..." Ji Yi understood the Third Ancestor's meaning. The answer was actually very simple: finding out who was the strongest was meaningless. No matter how strong others were, he would always firmly believe he was the strongest.

"I've been enlightened, Third Ancestor," Ji Yi's face radiated with confidence.

"It's also time for you to go out and gain experience. Only by constantly defeating opponents and pushing forward will your Invincible Dao Heart become firm, leading to the refinement of your true self and the forging of the strongest!"

"I also had that intention."

That day, Ji Yi and Ji Ziyan left the Ji Family, heading for their destination—the Hundred Sects Land.

The Four Ancestor put the two of them down and then disappeared. Unless it was a life-or-death situation, the Four Ancestor would not intervene.

"Let's go, Brother Ji Yi. I haven't had a good look around outside yet!" Ji Ziyan said cheerfully, holding Ji Yi's hand. With her child-like Heart-Nature, it seemed the past few years of Cultivation had stifled her.

"Let's go," Ji Yi also hadn't had a good look around outside. It was time to see this world.

Ji Yi and Ji Ziyan were currently on a road. A few miles ahead was a city, so Ji Yi led Ji Ziyan towards it.

Outside the city, there was a long line. Entering the city required inspection and an entrance fee. Ji Yi and Ji Ziyan stood at the back of the line.

The line moved slowly because there were many goods ahead that needed to be inspected.

After queuing for two quarters of an hour, it was finally Ji Yi's turn. They were not given any trouble. After paying half a tael of silver, Ji Yi led Ji Ziyan into the city called Linshan City.

After entering the city, there was a street with many small vendors selling handicrafts and snacks.

"It smells so good, Brother Ji Yi! Should we try this?" Ji Ziyan, drawn by the aroma, pulled Ji Yi to a skewer stall.

"Alright, take whatever you want to eat," Ji Yi said grandly. He wasn't short on money, as the future Saint of the Ji Family, his purse was bulging.

Ji Ziyan happily took more than a dozen skewers. Ji Yi put down more than ten copper coins, then walked with Ji Ziyan, eating as they went.

"Wow, this is so delicious, Brother Ji Yi, try mine!" Ji Ziyan put the skewer she was eating in front of Ji Yi's mouth.

"Mm, delicious," Ji Yi praised.

"Get out! Everyone, get out!"

"Ah!"

A series of curses and commotion came from the direction of the city gate.

Three burly men were seen galloping from the city gate on demonic scale horses, their long whips lashing out at the crowd in front of them. Many commoners cried out in pain as they were whipped.

Behind the three burly men, three demonic scale horses pulled a carriage, galloping behind the men, treating the street like a racetrack.

"How can these people be like this? It's too despicable!" Ji Ziyan's face was filled with anger. Her kind Heart-Nature could not accept this scene.

"It's a world where strength is respected," Ji Yi observed that all three burly men had Cultivation in the Divine Treasury Realm.

As for the old man driving the carriage, he even had Cultivation in the Dragon Transformation Realm. These Cultivators completely regarded human lives as mere trifles.

"Heaven is blind! This Young Lord has committed so many evils over the years, why has there been no retribution?"

The surrounding commoners discussed animatedly, full of accusations against the crimes of Linshan City's Young Lord.

"Since they've encountered me, their retribution has arrived," Ji Yi decided to act. He was out gaining experience; if he didn't stir up trouble, how would he gain experience?

He flicked his finger, and three streams of fiery Sword Qi shot towards the three evil servants.

"How dare you!" The three evil servants, accustomed to their dominance, were instantly enraged when they saw someone dare to attack them. They all moved to extinguish the three streams of Sword Qi.

However, Ji Yi's Sword Qi was not something they could block. The three streams of Sword Qi pierced through their palms and then struck their bodies.

With three screams, the three evil servants were burned to ashes by the scorching Sword Qi. The attributes brought by the Five Elements Divine Kings were incredibly powerful; the temperature of this Sword Qi could even incinerate steel.

As for whether it was too much to just kill the three evil servants like this, believing that those three evil servants had never harmed anyone was as naive as believing a courtesan was a virgin.

"Whoa!" The old man driving the carriage pulled the demonic scale horses to a stop.

"Who dares to interfere with the City Lord's Mansion's affairs?" the old man demanded.

"What great prestige! One would think you were an Immortal Family," Ji Yi stepped forward.

"Little brat, which Sect's Disciple are you? Don't you know that Linshan City is the Green Mountain Sect's territory?" The old man, being an experienced Jianghu veteran, cautiously inquired about the opponent's background before acting.

"I am a Loose Cultivator. Have you finished speaking? If so, then you can join them on their journey," Ji Yi had no habit of wasting words. The Starfall Sword unsheathed, and a sharp stream of Sword Qi tore through the air, piercing towards the old man.

"How audacious!" The old man curved his fingers into a claw, crushing Ji Yi's Sword Qi. The old man had Cultivated in the Green Mountain Sect when he was young, and in the Blood Moving Realm, he had also Cultivated two Body Refining Divine Abilities, advancing to the Divine Treasury Realm with over two hundred thousand jin of strength. Now, in the Dragon Transformation Realm, he possessed over fifty million jin of strength.

"Die for me!" The old man leaped from the carriage and pounced towards Ji Yi. He struck out with a claw, and a giant, pitch-black claw grabbed towards Ji Yi.

"Mere trickery, Water Dragon Sword!" The old man had Cultivated a poison Dao Divine Ability. Ji Yi swung his sword, and two flood Dragon Sword Qi spiraled, piercing through the pitch-black giant claw.

The old man's pupils contracted; he knew he had encountered a tough opponent.

The old man's dual claws turned into afterimages, continuously slicing out eighteen claw blades, tearing towards Ji Yi. It was the Eighteen Dark Nether Claws.

"Black Tortoise Sword!" Ji Yi's Starfall Sword spun, and an earthy yellow Black Tortoise phantom enveloped him. The eighteen claw blades could not harm him in the slightest.

The Starfall Sword trembled, and a hundred golden Sword Qi enveloped the old man. This was the Divided Light and Shadow Sword, imbued with the Five Elements' metal attribute, each sword capable of cutting through second-tier spirit iron.

The old man immediately became flustered, his claws rapidly waving, colliding with the Starfall Sword.

Sparks flew violently. The Dragon Transformation Realm strengthened bones, making them comparable to third-tier spirit iron.

As the saying goes, prolonged defense is bound to fail. The Starfall Sword broke through the old man's defense, leaving streaks of sword marks on his body.

"Young Lord, run quickly!" The old man, knowing he was no match for Ji Yi, immediately shouted to the Young Lord who was foolishly sitting in the carriage, unable to grasp the situation.

"I'll go back and call my father right away," the Young Lord, upon hearing this, immediately rolled out of the carriage and fled in another direction.

"Where do you think you're going?" Ji Ziyan, with a few leaps, caught up to the Young Lord. This Young Lord, despite having Divine Treasury Realm Cultivation, was nothing but a good-for-nothing, having never experienced battle. He was subdued by Ji Ziyan with a single move and thrown to the ground.

"My father won't let you off!" the Young Lord, outwardly fierce but inwardly timid, shouted loudly.

"You two better think carefully! The Young Lord is the City Lord's only son, and the City Lord is a great Cultivator of the Zifu Realm!" The old man grew anxious at the sight. If anything happened to the Young Lord, he would be doomed.

"I'm looking forward to it!" Ji Yi's eyes lit up. What he wanted were powerful opponents.
