The white witch saw the Rainwater Sword Domain that Ji Ning had displayed, and her heart suddenly turned cold: "A way to survive, where do I still have a way to survive?" Immediately, she began to operate the secret method within the sect, all the essence of blood and flesh contained the yuan force, and started to condense, even her whole body began to faintly emit a bloody glow.

  The twelve Gu worms hidden in her body began to stir, and the poisonous insects in the insect nest she carried with her also stirred.

  "Alas." Ji Ning shook his head from a distance, it seemed that this woman was being forced by Beishan Hu to fight to the death.

  Ji Ning immediately prepared to unleash the Water Fire Lotus, directly sending this woman on a journey to the underworld.

  Suddenly——

  "We admit defeat!" A deep voice rang out.

  "Huh?" Ji Ning was shocked and looked up, only to see the Northern Mountain Fox in the elegant room above, looking very calm, and even smiled at Ji Ning, "I didn't expect to see Ji Ning young master being so talented today, with his cultivation at the early stage of the Violet Palace... he has already grasped the realm of the Dao's domain. I admire him, I admire him, losing to Ji Ning young master, Northern Mountain Fox loses graciously."

  That white witch also looked up at the Northern Mountain Fox in shock, she could clearly remember how crazy the Northern Mountain Fox was before, insisting that she would kill Ji Ning even if it meant risking her own life. Now, in the blink of an eye, she hadn't given up yet, but the Northern Mountain Fox had already admitted defeat.

  Because of this battle, she represented Beishan Hu, and the stakes were also Beishan Hu's. Since Beishan Hu admitted defeat, the battle naturally came to an end as well.

  "Hush."

  The white witch's long black hair quickly retracted from over a hundred feet in length back to its original state of reaching her hips.

  "Congratulations, Young Master Ji Ning." Zhi Yi's voice rang out loud and clear. She had changed the way she addressed Ji Ning. Previously, it was always 'the cultivator sent by Beishan Baiwei', but now it was directly 'Young Master Ji Ning'. Because she understood very well what it meant to comprehend the Rainwater Sword Domain in the Purple Mansion.

  The realm of Dao, generally can only be reached by those who have cultivated their primordial spirit and embodied the Dao.

  The Zifu Xiu scholars can comprehend the realm of Tao, and those who can achieve this are truly extraordinary geniuses, even reincarnated great masters. According to what she has heard, such existences, as long as they live, cultivate the top-notch method of refining Qi, and become Yuan Shen Dao people without a doubt!

  If it's said that Beishan Baimei and Beishan Hu are treated with caution because of their family background, then the Ji Ning in front of her is because of her own terrifying and demonic innate talent.

  Note...

  He's a genius with a promising future. Even if he becomes an immortal, the Anping Hou Mansion will take the initiative to win him over, and at that point, he can already influence the overall situation in Anping Prefecture. As long as this monstrous talent is alive, there's a 100% chance he'll become a Yuan Shen Dao person. As for becoming an immortal? The possibility of that is also extremely high.

  "Does Duke Ning still want to continue the gamble?" Zhi Yi's smile was also directed at Ji Ning, and as a fox demon, this one smile was truly enchanting.

  "Haha, with Ji Ning's Dao Domain Boundary released, who else dares to fight?"

  "We can't find another Zifu cultivator who has entered the realm of enlightenment, and even if we did, it would be a guaranteed loss."

  "It's over."

  "This time's wagered Lingguo wine should go to Bai Wei Gongzi and Ji Ning Gongzi."

  Laughter came from each elegant room.

  Since there was no feud before, who would want to offend such a freak genius. Although some of these people are sect elites, many are Wanxiang True People. However, it is still very difficult to cross from Wanxiang True Person to Yuanshen Daoist. In fact, they do not know that Ji Ning's divine soul has reached the 'divine consciousness' level. If they knew, they would probably be stunned.

  Ji Ning relied on the Rainwater Sword Domain and his divine sense, and he successfully passed the Divine Sense Trial of the ancient Three-Lives Realm cultivator. He obtained the Divine Ability - Star Plucking Hand.

  Of course, Ji Ning also knew that this was enough. The Divine Ability of Plucking Stars... he absolutely couldn't reveal it to the outside world. If he did, that would be seeking death! However, using it himself was still acceptable. After all, he had already revealed his monstrous talent and could unleash extremely powerful attacks. Others would also come up with their own reasons, such as Ji Ning having learned some sort of divine ability or having a special technique. His realm was so high... In short, a monster doing monstrous things was also very normal.

  "Lord Ji Ning." Beishan Hu said loudly with a smile on his face in the distant elegant room, "I and Beishan Baiwei have been at odds all along. The previous offense was not because of Lord Ji Ning, but all were aimed at Beishan Baiwei. I apologize for the offense. At the same time, I would like to remind Lord Ji Ning that Beishan Baiwei is a smiling tiger, very fake, don't be deceived by him."

  Ji Ning raised her head and took a glance.

  What a northern mountain fox!

  Awesome!

  They were still fiercely competing with each other, but now that they've seen their own Rain Sword Domain, it's as if a bucket of cold water has been poured over their heads, instantly sobering them up. They immediately claimed that everything before was just to ease relations with Beimingshuo, and even stirred up trouble between him and Beimingshuo.

  "While as for you, Ji Ning, entering the Slashing Heaven Sword Faction... is absolutely no problem at all." Bei Shan Fox smiled, previously he had loudly declared that Ji Ning would never be able to enter the Slashing Heaven Sword Faction in his lifetime, but now he was suddenly reversing himself.

  Ji Ning thought to herself, the young master of the Marquis's manor was indeed not someone to be underestimated.

  "Beishan Hu, your face is really thick, what sect are you going to enter? With the talent of my brother Ji Ning, which sect can't he enter?" Beishan Baiwei immediately laughed and said, "As for you stirring up trouble, who in the entire Ancheng City doesn't know your reputation, who also doesn't know my character as Beishan Baiwei?"

  "Time reveals a person's true nature, you're a smiling tiger, do you think I can't see through you?" North Mountain Fox sneered.

  "Oh, then I'll wait for you to see through." Bei Shan Baiwei shook her head.

  ……

  Suddenly, a figure transformed into a stream of light and flew down from one of the windows of the elegant room above. At this moment, the seal array had been lifted, and the figure flew directly to Ji Ning's side.

  "Hmm?" Ji Ning looked at the woman in front of him, who appeared to be only in her teens, with a naturally noble temperament.

  "Ji Ning Gongzi, my name is Hu Shui. My grandfather is the leader of the Qianchuan Sect. With your talent, Ji Ning Gongzi... as long as you enter our Qianchuan Sect, I'm afraid even our sect's ancestor would take you as a disciple." This beautiful young girl with a slender figure and a hairpin on her head said with a smile, her voice sounding pleasant to the ear.

  Ji Ning stared at this girl named Hu Shui in surprise.

  Qian Chuan Zong?

  What sect? Never heard of it. Alright, the entire Anping County knows only a handful of sects. I'm from Yanshan, my knowledge is limited too.

  "Hu Shui girl, your Qianchuan Sect is not even in the top ten of my Anping County's door schools. Wanting to let Ji Ning young master join your Qianchuan Sect, haha, it's a bit too presumptuous." A black-clad man also flew down from mid-air.

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

  One after another, figures flew down directly, even Beishan Baiwei and Hun Wujie also flew down.

  "Ji Ning, for now, don't agree to join any sect."

  "Hmm." Ji Ning also understood the principle of being anxious and unable to eat hot tofu. The Anping County had many sects, and the various camps and relationships were even more complicated... Choosing a sect was a big deal for oneself, so it was necessary to be cautious.

  Ji Ning immediately looked at the formidable figures, some of whom were only part of the sects, while others belonged to tribes and religious factions. Some had come simply to make friends with Ji Ning. Such talented individuals... they too were eager to form connections. As for jealousy? Perhaps there was a hint of it in their hearts, but they understood that Anping Prefecture was home to countless geniuses. If one were to be jealous of this and that, then there would be no need to cultivate immortality.

  "Gentlemen," Ji Ning continued, "I have just arrived in Anping Prefecture and joining the Gate of Life is a major matter. I need to be cautious and deliberate, and it's not something that can be decided in a short moment."

  "Oh, right, such a big thing can't be done hastily."

  "Prince Ji Ning. I am Meng Le Shan of the Meng clan."

  "Prince Ji Ning..."

  One by one, they started talking, and the cultivators' memories were incredibly impressive. Ji Ning also quickly learned each of their names. Many of them hadn't actually stood out earlier. Now that Ji Ning had gotten to know them one by one, he realized just how many hidden dragons and crouching tigers An He Prefecture was harboring.

  ……

  "What's going on? Swordsmanship?" Huo Gan Tongzi also chatted with Ji Ning for a couple of sentences before retreating. As he walked towards the Worry-Free Cave with his attendants, he furrowed his brow in thought, "Since he reincarnated in Anping County, if he is a reincarnated great expert... He should have been within the borders of my Anping County in his past life, but I haven't heard of any great expert skilled in swordsmanship being reborn in the past few decades. Even if he was reborn, other immortal friends should have come to guide him, so why would he take the initiative to join a sect?"

  "Could it be that he had a mishap in his reincarnation and wasn't from our Anping County in his previous life?"

  "Or is there another reason?"

  The little boy sat in thought, his eyes fixed on the flames.

  As a reincarnated immortal, his time in this life was not long, and his memories of past lives were still hazy. Only occasionally would a fragment flash by, or he would feel that something was very familiar! Although his memories of past lives had not fully awakened, his comprehension of formations, enlightenment, and so on, were still advancing rapidly. Clearly, there was a hidden influence of memory, and as his strength grew, his memories would become clearer, until the complete awakening of his memories of past lives.

  Of course, there can also be a real powerhouse who directly awakens his memory, but that's too difficult.

  ……

  Beishan Hu said a couple of words to Ji Ning, then immediately exchanged a few more with Beishan Bai, before leaving with a group of servants and underlings.

  On the carriage.

  The fox sat alone on the north mountain, his brow furrowed.

  He recalled the scenes in Wuyou Cave from his first conversation with Beishan Baimei, carefully recalling... constantly thinking...

  "I was just going to settle with Beishan Baowei, why did it involve Ji Ning? This person seems to have great potential, and may even affect the overall situation of Anping County in the future, or even whether my father can become the Marquis of Anping." Beishan furrowed his brow in thought, for the next Marquis of Anping from the Beishan clan had several candidates.

  The stronger the force, the more support it gets, and the more likely it is to become Anping Hou.

  "Alas!"

  "It's lucky for Beishan Baiwei to meet such a freak. His luck is too good." Beishan Hu gritted his teeth and shook his head.

  ……

  Ji Ning bid farewell to Hun Wuqi and then boarded the Nine Stars Immortal Carriage with Bei Shan's hundred microcosms.

  Inside the carriage.

  Bai Shui Ze crouched on one side, while Bei Shan Bai Wei and Ji Ning were seated. Bei Shan Bai Wei had a big smile on his face, looking extremely pleased, and said repeatedly: "Ji Ning, this time you've displayed the Rainwater Sword Domain, it's truly astonishing to all parties present! Didn't you see that even Bei Shan Hu immediately changed his expression? This kid I'm familiar with, although he's ruthless and arrogant, but can also change his face quickly, which is one of his rare good points."

  "You can stay at my place for now, I have many guest rooms. After all, you've made a big splash this time, and the news of your battle will spread to many sects soon. Many people will want to recruit a genius like you into their sect. Staying with me will also allow you to rest easy, and tomorrow I'll give you some information about the major powers in Anping County, including sect data, so you can make an informed choice."

  Ji Ning nodded and smiled: "Thanks, Bai Wei."
