I’m a college student, and I got lost. Everyone here calls me Young Master Ji and advises me to accept my misfortune and move on.
Before I could even react, the daughter of the county magistr...
Chapter 313: Traveling to the Immortal World
After the battle with Danzong, the five major immortal sects returned in embarrassment. Everyone was looking for Ji You and the people around him, intending to kill them as soon as possible, but unexpectedly, they could not find any trace of them.
It was thought that he was afraid of the power of the Immortal Sect and hid his identity. In addition, the current relics were more important, so the five major Immortal Sects did not spare any effort to kill him.
Unexpectedly, he wandered near Shanhai Pavilion like a ghost.
No one knew what his purpose was, but some were shocked by his audacity and fearlessness.
In the dense forest on the edge of the Tianchi ruins, Huo Shun's eyes were gloomy.
The residual force of the palm strike just now had dissipated, but the disciples following behind him found that the blue veins on his hands were still bulging and even his wrists were a little swollen and red.
Back then, the Tianshu Academy accepted a rural private cultivator who had reached perfection in the lower three realms. The five major immortal sects had all heard of this.
But they only treated this matter as an interesting story. They even forgot the name after hearing it and did not take it too seriously.
But no one could have imagined that when they actually met him in person, he was already such a powerful figure.
"Second Young Master, should we send someone to hunt him down?"
Huo Xingyun thought for a moment and said, "The Dao Fruit is the most important thing. Don't create unnecessary trouble. He fought a bloody battle in Dan Sect all night. It's not surprising that he is curious about what the five major immortal sects are going to do. Strengthen the guard. If he comes again, he will never come back."
It is difficult to kill a warrior with boundless strength, and he currently does not have that many people with high realms.
Besides, that person was able to kill five Wujiang Realm people in a row, so it was not wise to send people to chase him...
High in the sky, Ji You flew away and left the Tianchi ruins.
He already had a very clear view of the situation here. There was still some time before the Immortal Tour Meeting, so he flew towards the Soul-Breaking Mountain in Yuzhou.
Yuzhou is located in the northwest of Lingzhou and is the only large state that Ji You has never passed through.
Compared with other states, this place has obvious differences in both architectural style and folk culture.
It is said that this is because the Qin family, the old royal family that founded the country here, once relied on the surviving clan and was most deeply influenced by their aesthetics.
As for Broken Soul Mountain, it is located in a dangerous place in the north-central part of Yuzhou, with numerous natural barriers and complex terrain.
Similar to the Tianchi ruins, on the day the ruins were opened, the Wendao Sect also dispatched countless men to seal off the mountain forest, with three layers inside and three layers outside, making the defense impenetrable.
Ji You relied on his physical strength to leap onto the chasm and restrained his breath as much as possible before approaching the target location.
Looking far away through the gaps in the woods, the gloomy mountains are located between the vast wild forests, and the dark and unclear mountain passes are full of figures coming in and out.
In the following days, Ji You kept peeking in and vaguely noticed a problem.
Although the treatment of the ruins by the Daodao Sect and the Shanhai Pavilion is almost the same, there are more and more people entering and leaving the Tianchi ruins, while there are fewer and fewer people entering and leaving the Broken Soul Mountain ruins.
There were hundreds of people on the first day, but only dozens were left on the second day.
Five days later, a young man in gorgeous clothes and an old man arrived at Broken Soul Mountain. After being greeted by the disciples of the Wendao Sect, they entered the ruins in silence.
And when they came out again, their faces were extremely solemn.
Seeing this scene, Ji You, who was hiding on the dangerous mountain, had deep eyes and gradually became thoughtful...
At the same time, in the Nishan Tianshu Academy, the white jade platform for ascending to immortality, which was usually deserted, was now crowded with people, and the flashes of swords and the shadows of knives were constantly rising and falling.
Just like on the eve of the Tiandao Conference, the preliminaries of the Youxian Conference were being conducted without the knowledge of the outside world.
Although the Heavenly Dao Festival cannot bring down Heavenly Dao feedback to everyone and is not as attractive as the Holy Land of Sages, the scale of the Immortal Traveling Meeting is larger than that of the Heavenly Dao Meeting.
The reason is that the Tiandao Society needs to consider the bearing capacity of the holy land of the sages. After all, that world cannot withstand too many strong auras, so the entire battle is mainly based on the two realms of Tongxuan and Rongdao.
However, the Tiandao Festival does not restrict realm and age, there are more places than the Tiandao Conference, and the number of participants is greater.
Even among those who have perfected the lower three realms, many are ready to make a move.
Ban Yangshu and Wen Zhengxin had been trying to break through the realm for almost a year, but had not yet crossed the threshold. So they interrupted their practice and came to the outer courtyard early in the morning of a spring day, deciding to participate in the competition at the Rong Dao realm.
This idea is the same as those who broke through the realm at the last competition at the Tiandao Conference.
If you don't break through the realm and fight with peak strength, you will naturally have a greater chance of winning among opponents of the same realm.
"This year's Tongxuan Realm Showdown started very quickly. Three matches were already underway right after the announcement was made."
"With Junior Brother Ji not here, the Tongxuan Realm competition will naturally be faster."
As they talked, they couldn't help but think of the previous Tiandaohui preliminaries.
At that time, Ji You was restricted and not allowed to use the sword art of Lingjian Mountain, but he still dominated the entire realm alone, suppressing no one who dared to go on stage to fight. Now this grand occasion is no longer there, and the attraction of the battle in the Tongxuan realm is not even as attractive as the pure physical confrontation between the perfect three lower realms.
As the two were talking, they saw Cao Jinsong walking towards them from the edge of the lake, and their eyes couldn't help but become a little surprised.
"Isn't Instructor Cao on the verge of a breakthrough? Why did he suddenly come out of seclusion?"
Cao Jinsong stood still and frowned slightly: "I am worried about Ji You. His Dao heart is in a mess and he needs to take his time to break through. Have you received any news from him during this period?"
Ban Yangshu and Wen Zhengxin shook their heads after hearing this: "We haven't heard from him since Xinyuan left Shengjing."
"What kind of trouble did he cause that caused the five major immortal sects to join forces to track him down?"
"Although Junior Brother Ji has a somewhat eccentric temperament, he never does things blindly. I think there are some things that must be done before they are done. Moreover, Junior Brother's combat power is amazing. Even the five major immortal sects may not be able to catch him."
Wen Zhengxin spoke softly, hoping to comfort the uneasy Instructor Cao.
However, since he didn't see Ji You safe, these consolations didn't have much effect on Cao Jinsong.
The five major immortal sects came together to question him. Could it be that he ran to the gate of the mountain to rob people and collect fees...
After a long silence, the three of them raised their heads and looked towards the arena, trying to distract themselves from the uneasiness in their hearts by watching the fight, but they discovered that the disciples around them who were preparing to participate in the competition were also looking at them.
Familiar time, familiar scene, they all recalled the time when Ji You suppressed all the Tongxuan in the academy.
But this time, they felt that Ji You might not have the chance to participate in the Immortal Tour.
The five major immortal sects joined forces to hunt him down. Even the elders of the Elders' Pavilion were scared to death. How could he have the courage to show up again?
During the New Year's Day, many people saw him wandering around teahouses, markets, and lantern festivals, and they thought that might be his last public appearance.
After all, if you have offended the Immortal Sect, no matter how talented you are, you can only hide from now on and will never be able to see anyone again.
At this moment, the winner was decided again on the stage. The loser left the stage, and then a figure slowly walked onto the stage, looking cool and unrestrained.
Seeing this scene, Cao Jinsong and the other two couldn't help but narrow their eyes: "Fang Jincheng..."
After coming on stage, Fang Jincheng was also looking at them with a sneer on his face.
Ever since the five major immortal sects joined forces to ask about the mountain, and looked for Kuang Cheng and Wei Rui, this elder's virtuous grandson came out from the abyss of the mountain.
He had a certain idea of Ji You's strength, but in his opinion, no matter how strong a person was, he had to bow his head in front of the Immortal Sect.
Now that the five major immortal sects are angry, Ji You can't protect himself, so he naturally doesn't need to hide anymore.
Fang Jincheng drew his sword with his backhand and fought with the disciple on the stage...
Afterwards, he won a match and fought alongside elders and grandchildren such as Yu Shiliu and Wang Gaocen.
The number of places in the Youxian Association is much larger than that of the Tiandao Association, so the elders and grandchildren naturally do not need to fight for them. They have already agreed that kings will not meet each other, and each will take a place just like the Tiandao Association did in the past.
However, some things are not as expected.
Just a few days after the battle in Tongxuan Realm, Lu Hanyan, who had been in seclusion, came out. She had reached the middle Tongxuan Realm and participated in the ring match against Fang Jincheng.
At the same time, Xiao Hanyan, who was in seclusion, also came out like Lu Hanyan. She had not yet crossed the threshold of Yingtian Realm, just like when she was in Tiandao Conference, she defended the title as a Rongdao upper realm.
As for He Lingxiu, Shi Junhao, Chai Ze and others, they did not come out to participate in the competition.
They and Xiao Hanyan have found the opportunity, and the opportunity to break through has always been hard to find. For them, the feedback given by the Heavenly Dao Festival may not be more important than the opportunity.
In the following days, the preliminaries of the Youxianhui became more and more intense, attracting many people to watch.
Yu Shiliu, Wang Gaocen and Gu Zetao won five consecutive games and won the places in the Youxianhui.
At the same time, Pan Bin, the grandson of Elder Pan who failed to be appointed to the Elders' Pavilion because Ji You suppressed the Tongxuan realm, finally got his wish.
There is also Xiang Fu, who just entered the inner courtyard last year, Lu Da who withdrew from the Tiandao Association preliminaries, and Puyang Xing who once competed with Lu Hanyan, all of whom have won their places.
The results of the Rong Dao Realm came out very quickly, so Xiao Hanyan naturally didn't need to ask any more questions.
In addition to her, Ban Yangshu and Wen Zhengxin also achieved consecutive victories and fought as Rong Dao realm masters.
In addition, there is Cong Yi, the daughter of the governor of Guiyun County in Fengzhou, who has reached perfection in the lower three realms this year and also obtained a place in the same realm.
"Tianshuyuan is doing well. Ban Yangshu, Puyang Xing... are all here."
"Over at Lingjian Mountain, Liu Junchi and Cheng Peng lived up to expectations and stood out."
"In addition, the Zhang family and the Liu family, who are on good terms with the Chong Palace, have also obtained the Lower Three Realms Perfection quota to participate in the battle at the Shanhai Pavilion."
The Tianshuyuan preliminaries are coming to an end, and the spring is gradually mixing with the smell of early summer.
In the afternoon at the restaurant, the children of the pro-immortal family were sitting together with Zhao Yunyue, discussing the news that the immortal cultivators they had befriended and supported over the years had obtained places. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
In their view, the best thing is that their original investment is now going from strength to strength.
Even though the Pro-Immortal Faction is now suppressed by the Immortal Supervisor and cannot raise its head, as these people grow, this situation of restriction is destined not to last long.
Chang Yutang, the son of the Minister of Rites, was holding a wine glass at this time, looking at Zhao Yunyue with a cold expression, and speaking auspicious words frequently.
After Dou Yuankong's accident, his father, Dou Shangshu, no longer had any interest in the court affairs. The Minister of Rites became the right-hand man of Prince Chong and was regarded by Prince Chong as the candidate to take over the future Sixianjian.
In fact, this is quite consistent, because before the establishment of the Sixianjian, the Ministry of Rites had always been in charge of the affairs of immortals.
"Yesterday at the Yunhe County Peach Blossom Festival, I met the prince. He was in high spirits and seemed to be in a good mood."
"Father has indeed been feeling quite content these past few days."
"But is it related to the fact that the children we support have gradually come to the fore?"
“There is some connection.”
Zhao Yunyue responded and then drank the contents of the cup.
My father has indeed been in a good mood recently, but this mood actually started before the preliminaries of the Youxian Association.
So even though Princess Changle answered like this, she knew in her heart that it was not true.
The reason why my father is in a good mood is actually related to the Wenshantian Academy of the Five Great Immortal Sects.
Over the years, she has always known that her father had a knot in his heart, which was that he did not support Ji You back then.
When Qiu Dou entered the inner courtyard, Tiandaohui took the top spot, which frightened Elder Fang so much that he could not speak. After he stopped supplying spirit stones and no one dared to offend him, he regretted it deeply.
Because in his father's view, if he had abandoned Chu He and supported him with all his strength, he would have been able to get the throne, not to mention the Sixian Supervisor.
It was not until the five major immortal sects came to Shantian Academy and were looking for Kuang Cheng with murderous intent that his father's knot in his heart suddenly untied. He thanked his father many times for not making friends with Ji You, so that he was not implicated like Kuang Cheng and Wei Rui.
In fact, Zhao Yunyue had similar thoughts in her mind and was glad that she did not practice dual cultivation with Ji You.
If she was really taken in as a concubine, then the murderous sect members in the night would not be looking for Wei Rui, but her.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of cups breaking from Hongding Tower.
Everyone leaned over and looked out through the hollow doors and windows of the box.
In the open wooden door opposite, Fang Jincheng was smashing wine glasses, bowls and chopsticks with a murderous look on his face, scaring the servant who was serving beside him so much that he trembled with fear.
In the Youxianhui battle, Fang Jincheng won four games in a row and was only one step away from the quota. However, he was defeated by Lu Hanyan with two swords, and the loss was very shameful.
So, everyone in Tianshuyuan laughed at him.
For two years, he competed with Lu Hanyan for the qualification to enter the inner courtyard, secretly hurt people with the help of magic weapons, and finally entered the inner courtyard with her. This matter has been controversial, and it also made the disciples in the courtyard feel that the Elders' Pavilion was too partial, and they didn't even want to act.
Now that Fang Jincheng is so cowardly, naturally many people feel relieved.
Just when Zhao Yunyue was considering whether to go over and say a few words of comfort, the east box was suddenly pushed open.
Lu Qingqiu and Lu Hanyan had just finished their meal and walked out of the door with Cong Yi, Xiang Fu and others. They glanced at Fang Jincheng and then walked towards the stairs.
Walking through the corridor, Zhao Yunyue stared at it for a long time.
After the five major immortal sects came to Shengjing, everyone knew that Ji You had angered the immortal sects. Fortunately, the Yunzhou Lingshi Chamber of Commerce usually made offerings to the immortal sects, so the Lu sisters were not implicated.
However, Lu Qingqiu had to stay in Tianshuyuan from then on and rarely showed up.
Zhao Yunyue didn't know whether Lu Qingqiu regretted giving her body to Ji You that day.
At this time, the Lu sisters left Hongding Tower, said goodbye to Xiang Fu and Cong Yi, and then turned to the inn in the city.
Lu Hanyan broke through and participated in the preliminary selection of the Youxianhui. For such a big event, Lu Xiong and his wife naturally came to Shengjing. They were sent a message when they were having dinner, asking them to meet at the inn.
But when the two sisters arrived at the inn, they found that two young men who came from nowhere were sitting in front of their parents and were having a cheerful conversation.
Seeing the two sisters coming, Lu Xiong immediately stood up and introduced the two parties.
Seeing this scene, the two sisters immediately understood their father's thoughts and knew that this was another blind date.
Lu Hanyan stared at him eagerly, not saying a word during the meal, full of resistance.
Lu Qingqiu had a better view of the overall situation than her sister and was always tactful. She talked to the two of them calmly without losing face for them.
It was not until it was getting dark and the two young masters bowed and left that Lu Qingqiu put away his smile.
"My parents clearly said they would never mention this again, but they keep going back and forth like fence-sitters."
"There are some things your sister doesn't understand, but it's not like you don't understand. You should know that we're doing this for your own good."
Mrs. Lu said this earnestly, and then looked at her husband with a worried look on her face.
Not long after the five major immortal sects came to question Shantian Academy, distinguished guests from the immortal sect in Yunzhou also came to inquire about the crime, and they were very aggressive.
Only then did they realize that Ji You had offended the five major immortal sects for some reason.
The whole world was talking about the fact that his two daughters were taken as concubines by Ji You, so naturally their family was implicated.
Fortunately, the Lingshi Chamber of Commerce usually makes a lot of offerings to the Xianzong, and many spiritual cores of the mineral veins are given to them. Because of the incense and loyalty, they did not get into trouble.
But the problem is that if it happens again, they won’t be able to bear it.
When the three states were hit by a snowstorm and the transportation of spiritual stones stopped, they heard that Ji You had forced Elder Fang into a corner and he had no choice but to acquiesce in the fact that his two daughters had lost their virginity to him.
But now it’s different. He has offended the five major immortal sects in one breath. Even if Ji You has extraordinary talent and strong fighting power, it is of no use.
The Lu family had escaped a disaster thanks to their years of savings, but they didn't want to encounter it a second time, so the couple discussed for a long time and decided that even if they had to give up a spiritual mine as a dowry, they had to marry their daughter off quickly and sever their ties with the family.
Lu Qingqiu naturally knew what his parents meant, so he quickly said a few words to his sister, saying that he was not happy with the two of them, and then left the inn.
"Sister, what did Senior Brother do? Why did the Immortal Sect target him?"
"To have offended the five major immortal sects at the same time, it must be no small matter. It is unreasonable for my parents to change their mindset."
Lu Qingqiu looked at his sister, feeling a little heavy-hearted.
That's the Immortal Sect, not to mention there are five of them...
Their Lu family was just a century-old family that had just been promoted. Even in front of other families, they were inferior. How could they have ever thought of daring to oppose the immortal sect that ruled the entire Qingyun?
Even just thinking about this kind of thing can make people feel terrified.
The next morning, the notice regarding the quota for the Immortal Tour was posted by the Office of the Administrator.
Meanwhile, news was circulating among the major families that someone would be attending the Tiandao Conference, and the atmosphere gradually became heated.
Unlike the Tiandao Conference which is held at the Taikoo Dojo, the Youxian Conference is held in Rihua County in the southeast of Liangzhou.
According to legend, when seven great sages pacified the world and revived the human race, they calculated that this place was the Central Plains and performed the first sacrifice to the Heavenly Way here. It is a place with a long history.
So from the day of departure, the official road towards Rihua County was covered with dust and sand, and the imperial carriages were speeding by one after another.
