Inside Xian City Wall

  "A river, I heard that Ji Ning has already broken through and become a congenital spiritual spirit, congratulations!"

  "This son of yours is quite something."

  "Hes only eleven years old, an innate spiritual being at that age, and he can already rank among the top three in our Ji Clans five mansions over the past thousand years."

  Ji Yichuan, who had always been as cold as an iceberg, had a rare hint of joy in his eyebrows today. Although he still had a stern face on, those familiar with him could sense the happiness deep down in Ji Yichuans heart. Ever since Ji Ning kicked down the city wall at Jiangbian Village and sent Jiang Sansi flying, this news naturally spread quickly back to the Ji clan.

  The Ji familys five mansions have all spread the news, and as a father, Ji Yichuan is naturally overjoyed. These past two days, he has often heard congratulations and praise. People are accustomed to adding flowers to brocade, and seeing that Ji Ning was first designated as the next mansion master, and then at the age of eleven became a pre-heavenly spirit, everyone understands that the Ji familys lineage is destined for unparalleled prosperity.

  This father and son will probably hold high positions in all five branches of the Ji family in the future.

  "Look at you enjoying yourself." Wei Chi Xue Zheng was holding a clay pot, watering the flowers.

  "How can I not be delighted!" Ji Yichuan sat down beside a stone table, and with a flick of his hand, he pulled out a bamboo tube, leisurely drinking the fruit wine. "Ji Ning had already killed the Water Rhinoceros King before he even reached the First Heaven stage, and now that hes broken through to the First Heaven...he can kick Jiang Sansi flying with just one foot! Jiang Sansi has long since entered the First Heaven stage, is a Refining Qi expert in the First Heaven stage, and yet couldnt even take one of my sons moves. Ji Ning should have also reached the First Heaven stage in terms of his Divine Demon cultivation!"

  According to the intelligence from Hei Jia Wei of Jiang Bian Bu Luo, Ji Ning had once used a short sword with a sharp blade to knock Jiang Hes flying knife out of the air.

  Its clear that Ji Ning has cultivated his Qi to the Xiantian level.

  Ji Yichuan was extremely familiar with his son and knew the defects of his sons meridians. He feared that it would be difficult for him to break through in the aspect of refining his Qi unless he first achieved a complete transformation of his body, shedding his old skin like a snake, after reaching the prenatal stage in his cultivation of the divine and demonic bodies.

  "Chi Ming Jiutian Map." Ji Yichuan looked at Wei Chi Xue, "This is the Chi Ming Jiutian Map, said to be the first magic body training method! My Ji family has never had anyone break through to Xiantian with it, but Ji Ning did, and he will definitely become even more powerful than me in the future. His name will be passed down by countless tribes, and our Ji family will also become stronger because of this!"

  Ji Yichuans heroic spirit is boundless.

  "Will the Ji family become powerful?" Wei Chi Xue nodded lightly, "Perhaps because of my son, the Ji family can also reach the same prosperity as my Wei Chi family in the past, its just a pity that my Wei Chi family..."

  "There is no tribe that will last forever." Ji Yichuan also said, "Even if the Great Xia Dynasty existed for endless years, it was established in the era of gods and demons, and later destroyed other ancient dynasties to unify this land. Those ancient dynasties all had endless long histories, wont they be destroyed?"

  Wei Chi Xue nodded: "I understand, Ive long been open-minded about this. Ning Ers body also has the blood of my Wei Chi clan. In the future, Ning Er will be famous all over the world, and my ancestors in the Wei Chi clan will definitely be extremely happy."

  "Hmm." Ji Yichuan nodded.

  ……

  The husband and wife were chatting happily when Ji Yichuan, who was holding a bamboo tube to drink wine, suddenly changed his face. At this moment, in the nest on the Winged Snake Lake Island, Ji Ning was directly moved to that mysterious ancient water mansion ruins.

  "Whats wrong?" Wei Chi Xue, who was sitting beside him, immediately noticed the drastic change in her mans mood. "What happened?"

  "Nothing." Ji Yichuan shook his head, "Just thinking of some things I need to do today."

  Wei Chis eyebrows furrowed: "Still trying to deceive me? Your face is completely incapable of hiding your emotions, and with your usual temperament, ordinary things cant disturb you... But something that can make you this flustered must be a big deal. Speak up."

  Ji Yichuan looked at his wife and sighed, "I gave Ji Ning a jade sword initially. No matter how far apart we are, I can sense Ji Nings location. I strictly ordered him not to leave the Western City for more than 10,000 miles. Once he exceeds that distance, I will capture him and lock him in prison for three years."

  "Whats wrong, he has left Xifeng City for over ten thousand miles?" asked Wei Chi Xue Lian.

  "No." Ji Yichuans face turned ugly, "I can no longer sense the Jade Sword."

  "What!" Wei Chi Xue was shocked and suddenly stood up, immediately followed by a severe cough.

  "I didnt want to say it, but you insisted I did." Ji Yichuan held his wife and rubbed her back, "Are you feeling better now?"

  Wei Chi Xue hastily said: "How can you not sense your jade sword? Didnt you say that no matter the distance, you could always sense it? You cant sense it... Has Ning Er encountered danger?"

  "Dont panic." Ji Yichuan said in a row, "I sense that there are two possibilities for the Jade Sword."

  "The first possibility is that Ninger encountered danger, then took out the jade sword, but before she could even snap it in two, the enemy instantly turned the jade sword into flying dust."

  "The second possibility is that Ninger has already gone far, far away to a place where I cant even sense her presence."

  Wei Chi Xue also calmed down.

  Wei Chi Xues vision was very broad, and he nodded: "Your jade sword, even if it is pinched off or crushed, you can still sense it. Unless it is completely turned to dust, you wont be able to sense it. But now Ning Ers strength is very strong, one move can kick Jiang San Si flying, if he encounters danger and takes out the jade sword... in an instant, it will be pinched off, how could there not even be a chance to pinch it off?"

  Moreover, the enemy wants to kill Ninger. If they can instantly turn the jade sword in Ningers hand into flying ash, such strength would be enough to kill Ninger directly, why bother destroying the jade sword?

  Wei Chi Xue thought for a moment and let out a slight sigh of relief.

  Judging from this, her son should still be alive!

  "Thats another possibility," said Ji Yichuan, "Ji Ning was suddenly transported to a place that is extremely far away. My jade sword can sense its presence no matter where it is... Although this sounds like bragging, within a million miles it should be able to sense it. Wanting to instantly transport over a million miles away is also unthinkable. I think the higher possibility is that Ji Ning has entered another space and mistakenly entered the ancient ruins."

  "Lost in the ruins?" Yu Chi Xue also nodded.

  They both had been wandering outside, with broad vision and understanding of the wonders of this vast land. The era of gods and demons alone left behind countless relics, and those powerful beings generally opened up a small space or even a small world.

  "When was the last time you sensed Ninger?" asked Wei Chi Xue Lian.

  "Yì Shé Hú!" Ji Yī Chuān said.

  "Were going to die!" Yu Chi Xue coughed again.

  Ji Yichuan said: "Ill go, you dont have to rush about anymore."

  "Ninger is in danger, how can I not go?" Wei Chi Xue shook her head, "This is the root of the illness that was left when I was pregnant with Ninger, you also know, its nothing."

  Looking at his wifes gaze, Ji Yichuan could only nod: "Alright, Ill go and borrow the Qingyan bird from Hua Gu to rush to Wingsnake Lake as soon as possible."

  ******

  The vast Wing Snake Lake is calm and peaceful.

  A pair of godly spouses stood on the back of a giant green flame bird, swiftly diving down to arrive above the Winged Snake Lake.

  "Hurry and report to His Majesty, Ji Yichuan has come again, and hes brought a woman with him."

  "Ji Yichuan."

  "Still riding on that fiery bird."

  Some water elves poked their heads out of the water and took a look at the high sky, and were so frightened that they went to report one by one.

  While on the back of Qingyan bird, Ji Yichuan couple swept a glance, and soon Ji Yichuan pointed to the distant shore: "There are Hei Jia Wei, Qing Yan Niao, go!" The Qingyan bird quickly flew in that direction. The two Hei Jia Wei who were originally monitoring the Wing Snake Lake on the shore stared at the man and woman on the distant Qingyan bird in astonishment.

  "Pay respects to the commander." The two black-armored guards hastily knelt down on one knee, both recognizing Ji Yichuan.

  "Im asking you, have you seen my son Ji Ning?" Ji Yichuan asked directly.

  "Ive seen it." One of the tall and dark-armored guards replied, "Just now, Young Master Ji Ning stepped on the lake water and challenged that giant winged snake to battle."

  "Great Demon Winged Snake?"

  Ji Yichuan and Wei Wuxue, the couple, both thought that their sons abilities were not enough to even scratch the giant winged snake. They believed that Ji Ning could completely protect himself in front of the giant winged snake.

  "But this great winged snake doesnt seem to want to come out." The tall black armored guard said, "Young Master Ji Ning has called out for battle several times, and his voice has spread throughout the Winged Snake Lake. I reckon the other black armored guards in the other areas must have heard it too. Since the great winged snake hasnt appeared, theres been no movement either, because were too far away from the lake, and later Young Master Ji Ning stepped on the water to go who-knows-where, we dont know either."

  The island is in the center of Winged Snake Lake.

  The shore is dozens of miles away from the island, and the Black Armors are dozens of miles away, unable to see Ji Ning.

  "Huh? Are you sure they didnt have a fight?" Ji Yichuan asked.

  "No, we didnt hear a sound." Both black-armored guards were absolutely certain.

  ……

  Ji Yichuan went to several other places to ask the Black Armor Guards, and even found Akira and Mafu who were waiting at their base. He also understood what had happened and knew that Ji Ning had come in anger to kill the Winged Snake, but the snake was hiding and hadnt come out... So Ji Ning walked on water and then disappeared!

  "Where did he go?" Standing by the lake, Ji Yichuan and Wei Chi Xue looked out at the vast expanse of water, both with furrowed brows.

  "Madam, what do you think?" Ji Yichuan looked at his wife.

  Wei Chi Xue thought to herself: "Not even a hint of movement, its probably not a battle, but rather an ancient relic! Those relics might be hidden in the void, and were just separated by a layer of emptiness that prevents us from seeing or sensing them."

  "Perhaps our son is in a tiny world hidden within a grain of sand at the bottom of the Winged Snake Lake."

  "Perhaps in an ancient hidden array."

  "Its just that all of this is beyond what we can handle." Wei Chi Xue shook her head, "All we can do is wait, wait for our son to come out alive."

  "Uh-huh, lets wait." Ji Yichuan also gazed at the vast lake that had existed for who-knew-how-long, "I believe our son will walk on water from afar."

  Wei Chi Xue also nodded lightly and leaned against her man.

  They waited again, waiting for their sons return.

  ******

  The Water Conservancy Corridor was a dull and gloomy place, even ones sense of time seemed to slow down.

  Jin Ning finally stood up with his divine power fully recovered, looking at the corpse in the distance on the other side of the corridor, he understood that there was no way to retreat, and if he wanted to live, he could only move forward!

  "I want to survive." Ji Nings eyes stared at the corpse in the distance, and he walked over directly.
