13: Ji Xuanyue

[An hour later, the Bone Dragon was killed by you.]

[However, the commotion just now has attracted many uninvited guests.]

[Glancing at them out of the corner of your eye, you discover that among these people are not only the Tianxuan Sect Disciples who just fled this place, but also several Foundation Establishment Cultivators who were originally exploring the outer perimeter.]

[Ignoring them, you walk directly forward toward the Legacy.]

["Stop! What do you think you are doing to our Tianxuan Sect's property?!"]

[Before the words even fully left his mouth, you kill the Tianxuan Sect Disciple who just spoke with a single punch.]

[Watching the others flee in panic, you cannot help but sigh in your heart.]

[You know that the life or death of these people changes nothing. If you want to seize the Desolate Beast Sect Legacy within the Secret Realm, you will inevitably clash with the Tianxuan Sect.]

[You begin to receive the Great Wilderness Legacy.]

[You have obtained the Great Wilderness Beast God Scripture.]

[You have obtained the Beast Servant Art.]

[You have obtained the Beast Taming Insights.]

[You have obtained the Wild God Body Refining Art.]

[You have obtained the Great Wilderness Palm.]

[You have obtained the Body Refining Insights.]

[...]

[Three hours later, the Legacy transfer ends.]

[You begin to quietly wait for the Secret Realm to close.]

[A few days later, the moment you step out of the Great Wilderness Secret Realm, numerous Tianxuan Sect Cultivators surround you.]

[Since other Tianxuan Sect Disciples survived this time, they did not take away all the Loose Cultivators, but only "invited" you to be a guest at the Tianxuan Sect.]

[A moment later, a familiar scene plays out once again.]

[The Tianxuan Sect Grand Elder, Real Person Xuanyue, arrives from afar and demands to know what you obtained in the Great Wilderness Secret Realm.]

[You tell her that you obtained the Great Wilderness Palm.]

[This is a seventh-tier palm technique, extremely powerful. Once a Cultivator trains it to Major Achievement, they can even split mountains, sever seas, and shatter the Void Realm!]

[Real Person Xuanyue is shocked, but a trace of greed immediately flashes in her eyes.]

[You pass out...]

[Soul searching in progress...]

[Soul searching in progress...]

[You do not know how much time has passed when you wake up once again.]

[Only this time, you are not in the Tianxuan Sect's dungeon, but instead find yourself in an antique pavilion.]

["You are finally awake."]

[Looking toward the source of the voice, you see a female Cultivator in white standing quietly by a bookshelf.]

[This person is none other than Real Person Xuanyue.]

[Because you claimed to have obtained a seventh-tier palm technique, she chose not to bring you back to the Tianxuan Sect, but instead brought you to the Ji Family.]

[Real Person Xuanyue demands that you write down the Cultivation method of the Great Wilderness Palm and asks if you obtained any other Cultivation Techniques.]

[You comply truthfully, except that in your account, you only obtained the Great Wilderness Palm and a seventh-tier Cultivation Technique related to beast taming.]

[Real Person Xuanyue reveals a smile that says "as I expected" and tells you to write down this Cultivation Technique as well.]

[Hearing this, you reply, "I can write down the Cultivation Technique, but you must make a Heart Demon Oath never to harm me!"]

[Real Person Xuanyue complies. She spits out a drop of essence blood and swears an oath that she will absolutely never do anything to harm you!]

[You copy down the Beast Servant Art, but you only write down how to Cultivate it and its benefits, omitting the potential consequences of this Cultivation Technique.]

[On the other side, Real Person Xuanyue is overjoyed upon receiving the Cultivation Technique.]

[After all, at this moment, she is only Cultivating a fifth-tier Cultivation Technique. She cannot even obtain the Tianxuan Sect's supreme sect technique, the Wuji Heart Sutra, let alone a seventh-tier Cultivation Technique from the Desolate Beast Sect.]

[After verifying that the Beast Servant Art can indeed be Cultivated, Real Person Xuanyue immediately begins closed-door training to switch her Cultivation Technique.]

[A few days later, Real Person Xuanyue emerges from her seclusion, having successfully switched her Cultivation Technique to the Beast Servant Art.]

[You ask her if she can let you leave.]

[Her answer is yes, but you must wait until she Cultivates to the Soul Transformation Realm.]

[You nod. However, you know that even though Real Person Xuanyue made a Heart Demon Oath not to harm you, because you know too many secrets, she will never let you leave the Ji Family.]

[But this is exactly what you want. You also want to see how someone who Cultivates the Beast Servant Art will eventually be contracted by the Great Wilderness Beast God Scripture.]

[You begin to switch your Cultivation Techniques within the Ji Family.]

[You successfully switch to the Great Wilderness Beast God Scripture.]

[You successfully switch to the Wild God Body Refining Art.]

[You begin to Cultivate.]

[You Breakthrough to the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment.]

[However, the good times do not last.]

[In the third year of Real Person Xuanyue's seclusion, the Tianxuan Sect Sect Master, Tian Xuanzi, emerges from his closed-door training, directly goes to the Ji Family, and demands your whereabouts.]

[But having been ordered by Real Person Xuanyue to protect you at all costs, how could the members of the Ji Family hand you over? A great battle immediately erupts between the two sides.]

[However, how could the members of the Ji Family possibly be a match for Tian Xuanzi, a Soul Transformation Cultivator?]

[In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the Ji Family's Great Clan Protection Array completely collapses, and several Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Ji Family perish on the spot!]

["Stop! Tian Xuanzi, you have gone too far!"]

[Right at this moment, Real Person Xuanyue, who has been in seclusion for a long time, breaks out of her training. Her aura is revealed without any concealment, and it is impressively at the same Soul Transformation Realm as Tian Xuanzi!]

["You! Hahaha, I truly did not expect that during the time of this seat's seclusion, such a Cultivation Technique would appear in the Great Wilderness Secret Realm!"]

["Revered Master has said since we were young that your Luck is extraordinary, and now it seems that is indeed the case!"]

["Fine! Today, I, Tian Xuanzi, admit defeat. But Ji Xuanyue, do not celebrate too early. We shall meet again!"]

[With that, Tian Xuanzi disappears from the spot.]

"It seems this Ji Xuanyue is not simple either."

Su Xuan murmured to himself.

"If not for my own existence, the entire Legacy of the Desolate Beast Sect would have most likely ended up in her hands."

"On top of that, this person only broke out of her seclusion after so many Ji Family Cultivators had died..."

"Could it be that Ji Xuanyue is also someone who possesses Luck?"

[After Tian Xuanzi leaves, you go forward to pay your respects to Ji Xuanyue and request to leave the Ji Family.]

[As you expected, Ji Xuanyue rejects you once again, calling it "protection" for your own good.]

[After all, in her eyes, although she has sworn a Heart Demon Oath not to harm you, a treasure like a seventh-tier Cultivation Technique cannot be lost. Only by keeping you in the Ji Family forever can she prevent the Cultivation Technique from being leaked.]

[Five years later, your Cultivation reaches the Peak of Foundation Establishment.]

[However, because you only have Four Spiritual Roots, the probability of breaking through to the Purple Mansion is not high.]

[Instead of rushing to Breakthrough, you choose to find Ji Xuanyue again, claiming that your parents are still alive at home and waiting for you to return and carry on the family line.]

[Ji Xuanyue refuses you, but feeling somewhat guilty in her heart, she instructs the Ji Clan Chief to arrange a marriage for you.]

[You pretend to accept while sneering in your heart.]

[Because you discover that at this point, Ji Xuanyue has already gradually begun to be affected by the Beast Servant Art.]
