On a green leaf, there were more than twenty people including Ji Ning, flying and shuttling through the clouds and fog, swiftly advancing towards the direction of Xifeng City.

  Everyone else was sitting or lying down, but Ji Ning and Mu Xiao were standing.

  "Didn't you say earlier that Benzi Shan was Snow Dragon Mountain?" Ji Ning asked with a puzzled heart.

  "Yes, Xue Long Shan." Mu Xiao Zhen Ren glanced at Ji Ning and nodded. "Xue Long Shan is one of the top powers in the entire An Cheng Prefecture, with several Yuan Shen Dao cultivators stationed within its sect, and its foundation is extremely deep."

  Ji Ning was secretly shocked.

  How many gods in Shintoism?

  "Because the sect is large, there are many cultivation methods, and some evil methods also exist. Naturally, some cultivators will go astray." Mu Xiao Zhenren said, "Xue Long Shan values strength even more, with many types of cultivation methods within, including demonic paths, evil paths, immortal paths, and Buddhist schools. Those with strong abilities are revered."

  Mu Xiao Zhen said, "It's precisely because of the mixed fish and dragons that many people are attracted to join Xue Long Shan, making its power even more massive. Some of the departing Zi Fu cultivators occupy a piece of land in various places, also flying the flag of Xue Long Shan. I suppose they can be considered branches. These branches will often collect some young geniuses and send them to the sect, so naturally, Xue Long Shan becomes even stronger."

  "Of course, this Snow Dragon Mountain and I, Yu Longwei, are on a completely different level... the difference is immeasurable." Mu Xiao Zhenren smiled and said, "Any of the loose immortals who sit in Anping Prefecture's branch division can easily destroy the entire Snow Dragon Mountain sect."

  Ji Ning nodded.

  Just kidding.

  Xue Long Shan is just a sect, but Ying Long Wei is the strongest military force in the Great Xia Dynasty that shakes the world, of course, they are not on the same level.

  "Look, I've arrived." Mu Xiao pointed into the distance, "Ahead is Xifucheng."

  "Have we arrived?" Ji Ning was shocked, and saw in the distance a magnificent city surrounded by forests on the vast land, which was the Xifucheng where he had lived since childhood. This made Ji Ning extremely shocked. "The speed of Wanxiang Zhenren's flying treasure is really fast! Thousands of miles, and we've arrived in the blink of an eye."

  Ji Ning's heart suddenly became anxious: "I don't know how Mother is now, Mother has always been fine, why would she be critically ill?"

  ……

  Inside Xi'an City Wall

  Wei Chi Xue was resting in the house, while Ji Yi Chuan and Ji Jiu Huo were chatting outside in the courtyard.

  "Everything is because of that one disaster back then." Ji Yichuan shook his head.

  Jiǔ Huǒ sat there, nodding slightly: "That one calamity changed the fate of you and your wife. Yī Chuān, you are a once-in-a-thousand-years genius of the Ji family. You were ordinary in your youth, but after your father's death, you suddenly soared to great heights... Originally, you had already opened up the Purple Mansion and stepped onto the path of immortality. Alas, it was all destroyed in an instant."

  "It doesn't matter that I've lost my path to immortality." Ji Yichuan shook his head and sighed, "In that one disaster, my wife's older brother was the strongest of our three in terms of actual power. In order to protect me and Xue'er, he even gave up his life. Xue'er had been severely injured from the start, and in order to give birth to Ning'er, she even used a secret technique that consumed her life force... I've merely lost my path to immortality, which is actually the lightest consequence of the three of us."

  Jiǔ Huǒ shook his head gently, sighing endlessly.

  Fate is playing tricks on people!

  Venturing out into the vast wilderness is indeed more dangerous than being in Yanshan, where strong people are as common as clouds, and there are opportunities but also dangers, just like how Wei Chixue's siblings and Ji Yichuan encountered danger back then and ended up in this state.

  "Huh?" Jiǔ Huǒ suddenly raised his head.

  Only a green leaf was seen flashing through the sky, and it landed directly in this courtyard. On this leaf were Mu Xiao Zhenren, Ji Ning, Meng Yu, Ji Wu Yu, and many others.

  "This...!" Ji Yichuan stared at the group of people in front of him, rushing over to them. "Wu Yu, Ji Shan, Meng Yu, you...you've all come back? What's going on here? How did each and every one of you get hurt? Where have you been these past few days? Why did you suddenly disappear?"

  "Pay respects to the clan leader." The more than twenty innate spirits of the Ji family quickly recognized their clan leader, and with one opening his mouth, the others also shouted in unison.

  Ji Yu's eyes widened as he naturally knew that more than 20 of his clan's innate spirits had gone missing, and he was also fed up with this matter. Now, seeing these innate spirits appear before him, he couldn't help but feel surprised and delighted, repeatedly asking: "I know you've been missing, the entire Ji Clan has been searching for you, are you all okay now?"

  "We've all had our dantians crippled, but being able to survive is already a blessing." Ji Wuyi said hoarsely.

  "Dan Tian was abandoned?" Ji Jiu Huo's eyes widened in shock.

  Another long-haired young man sitting next to him also shouted: "Tribe leader, we should thank Ji Ning and this true person for being able to survive this time."

  "Really?" Ji Jiu Huo and Ji Yi Chuan both felt a sudden jolt in their hearts.

  Real person...

  That's the real Wanxiang! The entire Yanshan region doesn't have a single true Wanxiang.

  They both looked at Mu Xiao Zhen, and in fact, when they first saw him, they felt that this person was extraordinary, able to ride a treasure to come... They guessed that he was at least a Zi Fu cultivator, but did not expect him to be a Wan Xiang True Person. They saw Ji Ning standing beside the Wan Xiang True Person, and their relationship seemed to be quite close, and they couldn't help but wonder how Ji Ning knew the Wan Xiang True Person.

  "Jiǔ Huǒ (Jì Yī Chuān) has seen a true person." Jiǔ Huǒ and Jì Yī Chuān both said respectfully.

  "This time I have to thank Ji Ning as well." Mu Xiao said with a calm smile.

  "Ji Ning?" Ji Jiu Huo and Ji Yi Chuan both looked towards Ji Ning.

  Ji Ning's face showed a hint of anxiety, and he said repeatedly: "I know Mother is critically ill, so I invited Mu Zhenren to come to my Xifeng City..."

  "Xue Er is inside the house." Ji Yi Chuan also reacted and said in a row.

  Mu Xiao nodded and immediately walked towards the house next door, with Ji Ning and Ji Yichuan following behind. Ji Ning asked in a low voice as they walked: "Father, what's going on? Why did Mother suddenly become critically ill?"

  "It's a lingering illness from back then." Ji Yichuan said, "I'll tell you more about it later."

  ……

  After entering the house, the maid also retreated, and inside the house, apart from Wei Chi Xue who was lying down, there were only Mu Xiao Zhen Ren, Ji Ning, Ji Yi Chuan, and Ji Jiu Huo, a total of four people.

  Wei Chi Xue opened her eyes and looked at the person who came, revealing a puzzled expression.

  "Xue Er, this is Mu Zhenren invited by Ji Ning." Ji Yichuan said continuously.

  Wei Chi Xue listened and then sat up with both hands clasped together: "Wei Chi Xue has met the true person."

  "Stretch out your right hand." Mu Xiao sat on a stone bench beside the bed.

  Wei Chi Xue stretched out her somewhat pale right hand, and she also saw Ji Ning standing beside Mu Xiao Zhenren, looking at her own son... Wei Chi Xue's face also revealed a hint of joy.

  Mu Xiuzhen stretched out a finger and lightly touched Wei Chixue's wrist, instantly filling the air with a vibrant green glow that enveloped Wei Chixue's entire body. Ji Ning and Ji Yichuan watched anxiously beside them, waiting for what felt like an eternity before Mu Xiuzhen furrowed his brow and stood up: "Strange, strange."

  Ji Ning's heart sank as he listened, and he asked repeatedly: "Immortal, what about my mother?"

  Mu Xiao frowned and said, "Although I'm not good at treating illnesses, I can see that your mother isn't actually ill. It's just that her vital energy has been almost completely depleted... With the remaining vital energy in your mother's body, I'm afraid she only has about three months left to live."

  "Is your vitality almost exhausted?" Ji Ning's face changed color.

  "My wife was injured while pregnant." Ji Yichuan continued beside him, "Later, she used a secret technique to consume her own vitality to protect the fetus."

  Mu Xiao nodded: "Your wife was originally a congenital spiritual being, and judging from the remaining pure yuan in her body, she should be at the level of Congenital Perfection. Unfortunately... that injury must have been very severe, her dantian was destroyed, logically speaking, it would have been impossible to keep the fetus at that time. Your wife used a secret technique to burn her lifespan to save the child, this kind of secret technique has a great price, and even if she wants to make up for it, it's almost impossible."

  Ji Ning was stunned.

  Mother was originally a congenitally perfect high-ranking expert? The dantian was destroyed and the secret technique burned up her lifespan to preserve the fetus.

  However, judging from some of the insights gained when my mother taught me how to walk, she should indeed be a master. But what exactly happened when my mother was pregnant with me, and about the events before I was born, my father and mother always deliberately concealed them from me, never telling me.

  "Please save my mother." Ji Ning urged anxiously.

  "To save her, the only way is to prolong her lifespan." Mu Xiao sighed, "There are many elixirs that can cure illnesses, and I myself have some that can extend the lifespan of cultivators. Unfortunately... it's a thousand times, ten thousand times more difficult to extend the lifespan of an ordinary person than that of a cultivator. Such elixirs, I've only heard of them in Yinglongwei, but I don't know where to find them, and I'm afraid only immortals can produce them."

  Ji Yun heard a sudden noise beside him and responded, "Dragon Guard?"

  "Immortal!" Ji Ning felt his heart turn cold in an instant.
