Chapter 15 of Volume 9: The Rise of the Ji Clan

  "Prince." Akira's eyes sparkled with tears of joy.

  Ji Ning also smiled.

  It's been a long time since I've seen Akira. Since childhood, the people closest to me have always been just a few: Father, Mother, Uncle Bai, Cao, and Akira... My parents and Cao have already passed away, leaving only Uncle Bai and Akira as the ones I'm most familiar with and closest to. Jining also knows that my feelings for Akira aren't romantic love, but rather familial affection.

  "It's been four years, Autumn Leaf, you haven't changed much, I suppose you should have broken through to the Innate by now." Ji Ning walked over.

  Autumn leaves wiped away tears and said: "It was still the elixir left by the young master that helped me break through to the Innate Spirit."

  It's not surprising that Akira can break through the barrier of Jing Ning, because being chosen as her own maid... her innate talent is already quite good, plus the elixirs and other things she left behind at the beginning, Akira indeed has a high probability of breaking through to become a congenital spiritual spirit.

  "It's been four years, everything is fine, right?" Ji Ning asked.

  "It's all right, everything is as usual on Ming Xin Island. The Ji family has become even stronger." said Akira, "The battle back then greatly damaged the strength of the Yan Shan branch, although three more Zifu disciples came to reinforce the Yan Shan branch from Xue Long Mountain. But since the news of your joining Hei Bai Academy spread, the Yan Shan branch of Xue Long Mountain also didn't dare to make any moves."

  Ji Ning nodded.

  In terms of strength, Xue Long Shan's Yan Shan branch has the support of the sect, with a steady stream of skilled fighters, and its foundation is naturally far superior to that of the Ji family.

  However, at the beginning, Beishan Baimei had always sent people to collect 'Yuanshi Mine' in Yanshan, so he took the opportunity to send someone to inform Ji Shi... about Ji Ning joining Heibai Academy.

  As soon as this news came out, Ji's prestige suddenly increased greatly.

  Heaven

  Hei Bai Academy! To the other forces of Yan Mountain, Hei Bai Academy is a towering giant, and it's said that every single person who can join Hei Bai Academy is an extraordinary genius, a freakish talent. Even Xue Long Shan, which had a grudge against Ji Ning in the past, temporarily put aside their feud and let things slide.

  "What about Qing Shi?" Ji Ning asked.

  "Qīng shí." Autumn leaves turned her head and shouted, only to see a very tall young man walking over from afar.

  Ji Ning was shocked.

  He's really tall, I'd say about 1.9 meters. Much taller than me. When I left back then, Qing Shi was just a young boy, didn't expect that after four years... he'd grown to be this tall.

  "Brother." Qing Shi walked over.

  "How can you hide on the side?" Ji Ning scolded with a smile, having watched Qing Shi grow up from childhood and already considering him as his own younger brother.

  Qīng Shí smiled mischievously: "Didn't you want to let Autumn Leaf and Brother spend some time alone together?"

  Autumn leaves suddenly widened her eyes.

  Ji Ning also smiled.

  "Brother, why is there a snake on your arm?" Qing Shi looked curiously at the small green snake on Ji Ning's wrist.

  "Xiao Qing." Ji Ning shouted.

  Whoa, the green snake instantly transformed into mist and then condensed into a green-clothed girl, shocking the autumn leaves. The green stone beside her jumped up: "Monster! Great monster!"

  "I am the Great Demon of All Things! The Great Demon of Perfection in All Things!" Qing Qing said proudly with her head held high.

  "Is everything perfect?"

  The green stone blinked under his eyes.

  Although Ji Ning had left behind the Washing Marrow Dan and some other treasures, Qing Shi's innate talent was still somewhat lacking compared to Autumn Leaf. Although Autumn Leaf had become a pre-heavenly born spirit, Qing Shi remained an ordinary post-heavenly cultivator who had yet to break through. However, he knew about several major realms of cultivation for immortal practitioners.

  "Is everything perfect? The head of the Ji clan seems to be just a Zifu cultivator." Qing Shi looked at the green-clothed girl in front of him, unable to imagine that she was an existence with the power to easily crush the head of the Ji clan.

  Ji Ning smiled: "Xiao Qing was originally also a green snake in my Yan Mountain, later she met me in the wilderness of Yu Shan and followed me, becoming my spiritual beast."

  "Brother's spiritual beast." Qing Shi finally let out a breath of relief, and immediately asked curiously, "Brother, do you have the Wanxiang Yueman now?"

  "Wanxiang is even worse than Xiaqing later on," said Ji Ning.

  "Although it's late in the game, I'm far inferior to the master's opponent." Qingqing lowered her head and said, "Master... is truly a monster, even more monstrous than me."

  Autumn leaves and green stones bring both surprise and joy.

  "White Uncle, you..."

  "Bai Shu is also from the late Wanxiang era," said Ji Ning.

  "This, this..." Akira suddenly felt that although it had been several years since they last met, the progress on the side of her own family's young master was too fast.

  Bai Shui Ze spat out human words: "The cultivation of the demon clan is slow from the beginning, and many demons take thousands of years to cross from the Purple Mansion to the Wanxiang. From Wanxiang to Yuanshen, it takes tens of thousands of years... Although my realm has been enough for a long time, I need to accumulate yuan power alone for a very, very long time. Fortunately, Ning Er helped me, so I can reach the Wanxiang realm so quickly."

  "Three Wanxiang." Qing Shi was full of surprises, "The entire Yanshan has no other forces with even one Wanxiang True Person, but my Ji family suddenly has three Wanxiang True Persons, it's too, too... Haha, invincible!"

  "It's not that you're impressive, young master. With good techniques and a good teacher, plus the treasures and spiritual elixirs... you still haven't even reached the level of a pre-heavenly spirit yet. At your age, I could easily kill a Violet Mansion cultivator." Autumn Leaf said.

  "I can't even compare with Brother, let alone you, Autumn Leaf Sister." Qing Shi shook his head.

  "You don't even try, and yet you make excuses." Akira said angrily.

  Ji Ning felt a strong sense of warmth seeing this, and just like in the past, Autumn Leaf still treated Qing Shi as if he were her own younger brother.

  ……

  Ji Ning is back. The news of the return of Ji Ning, the demonic disciple of Hei Bai Academy, to Yan Shan has shocked and delighted the entire Ji family.

  Very soon, people like Zong Chang Jiu Huo and others, as well as Ji Yu Yang and Ji Hong Hua from the Western Capital City... even several of the most stunningly handsome young men of the Ji clan in recent years all arrived at Winged Snake Lake's Ming Xin Island!

  "Is this the Omnipotent Serpent Demon?"

  "Is Baishui Ze also a Great Demon of All Things?"

  The clan leader and others were surprised when they arrived, but on the other hand, they didn't think it was strange that Ji Ning became the Wanxiang True Person. This is because back then, Ji Ning had easily killed the Wanxiang True Person Xu Li. Moreover, Ji Ning had also entered the legendary Black-White Academy, and in their hearts, Ji Ning's monstrous progress rate was normal.

  If Ji Ning was as slow in his cultivation as they were, then that would be abnormal.

  "Tribe leader," said Ji Ning, "I just joined Yinglong Guard not long ago."

  On the side, Ji Jiu Huo, Ying Po Po, Ji Liu Zhen, Ji You Yang and others, although they were all very calm, still showed a surprised expression. Ji Ning had just joined the Dragon Guards not long ago, and they didn't know about it yet. However, with Ji Ning's strength being able to join the Dragon Guards, they didn't find it strange either.

  "After becoming a Dragon Guard, I can choose a territory of about 10,000 miles in diameter. This territory will be protected by the Dragon Guard! Even if I die in the future, this territory will still be protected by the Dragon Guard for thousands of years. The territory I drew at that time was centered on Wanjian City and barely included the four surrounding prefectures."

  "This is the token." Ji Ning took out a token, "Only the Purple Mansion cultivators can refine it, and after refining it, hang it in front of the city master's mansion in Wanjian City. At that time, a 'Yinglong' will faintly appear on the entire city wall of Wanjian City. Others will know at a glance that this is under the protection of Yinglongwei, and they dare not invade or offend."

  "Tribe foundation, tribe foundation! With this token, our tribe's foundation will be even more solid, and the Ji clan will surely rise to greatness!"

  Ji Liu Zhen and others were also excited and looking forward to it.

  "Ji Ning, how long are you back for?" Ji Jiu Huo asked.

  "In the future, I will be living in Winged Snake Lake for a long time and occasionally go out to perform tasks for the Dragon Guard. Occasionally, I will also visit my master at the Black and White Academy in Anping City." Ji Ning said, "Most of the other times, I will be here."

  The disciples of Hei Bai Academy, some of whom live in the academy for a long time.

  Because the Academy has a 'black and white diagram', it can be often contemplated, and it can also be discussed with other fellow students. But Ji Ning is different... First of all, the Hall Master only occasionally points out to his disciples, and as for the black and white diagram? It's not that helpful to Ji Ning, he just needs to take a look at it occasionally, because Ji Ning has a better 'Water Mansion'.

  The Star Chart Hall of the Water Palace is much more powerful than the Black and White Diagram.

  Whether for the tribe, or because of the Water Temple, or for the peace of mind, Ji Ning would always choose to stay in Winged Snake Lake.

  "Alright, alright." Ji Jiu Huo was delighted and immediately added, "It won't affect your cultivation, will it? In any case, cultivating immortality is still the most important thing."

  "It doesn't matter." Ji Ning shook his head.

  "That's good." Ji Jiu Huo nodded repeatedly, "With Ji Ning staying here for a long time, especially with two million giant demons... the power of my Ji clan will naturally surge, and with such power, my Ji clan should become even more prosperous, and our territory should also expand."

  "Yes, three of the Wanxiang True Ones, especially Ji Ning's future accomplishments in cultivating his Nascent Soul are promising! My Ji Clan's territory is too small."

  Ying Popo, Jilu Zhen and others all looked forward to it.

  As big as your belly is, eat as much as you can.

  In the past, the Ji family had only that little bit of power and naturally didn't dare to hope for too much. But now, with Ji Ning's strength being so powerful, and still having two Wanxiang Great Demons, with the Black and White Academy behind them! With such power, the Ji family should be greatly prosperous.

  "You guys go ahead." Ji Ning also agreed, as it was also his father's wish. "If you run into trouble, Xiao Qing and Uncle Bai, you can help out at that time too."

  "Hand it over." Qing said confidently, "Among the three of us in Yanshan, who can't walk sideways?"

  "Haha..."

  Jiǔ Huǒ and others all burst out laughing.

  ……

  Ji Ning was able to stay in the Winged Snake Lake for a long time, which also made many people of the Ji family feel excited. Ji Ning also slightly pointed out that in recent years, the new talents emerging from the Ji family were only considered geniuses within the Yan Mountain region, and there were not many who could surprise him. Ji Ning soon realized that his usual contacts with his senior and junior brothers were all from the Black and White Academy... where could the small geniuses of their own clan compare to?

  The Han people gathered together, instructed their juniors, and after three days, Mingxin Island completely calmed down.

  Ji Ning had just entered the quiet room.

  "Water Palace." Ji Ning's heart skipped a beat, and in the quiet room, a huge bear skull phantom suddenly appeared. The bear skull phantom even revealed a hint of a smile, then opened its mouth and swallowed Ji Ning whole.

  Ji Ning disappeared into the quiet room.

  Arrived at the 'Water Palace' in another space.
