Chapter 146 Expressing gratitude for the dazzling light, igniting hope.
The sect's territory was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The crowd turned their gazes toward her, their eyes blank, as if they couldn't understand what she was saying.
What is she saying?
"Grandma Ji is right..."
Hearing the disciples' discussion, Ji Mingran looked enlightened. "Oh, I didn't tell you everything." He scratched his head and added, "It's the entire inheritance."
As he spoke, he touched the ancient spirit stone with one hand and grasped the spirit essence stone within it.
The Spirit Stone originated from an ancient spirit stone and was originally compatible with the Realm Array. Returning it to the array's core will not be as difficult as restarting the array last time.
What she had to do was readjust the Mirror Formation, allowing it to draw spiritual power from the ancient spirit stone to stabilize the formation.
The nourishing effect on the sea of consciousness emitted by the Spirit Stone, which has returned to the ancient spirit stone, is more obvious than before.
Ji Mingran simply held onto it, adjusting the formation while simultaneously absorbing spiritual energy.
As she finished speaking, the expressions of the multitude of Dingsheng Sect disciples in front of her varied.
The disciples, who had only been in the sect for a year, looked completely bewildered, asking each other about things like treasure caves, inheritances, and spiritual formations.
The disciples who had been in the sect for some years seemed to have been struck by the good news that very day. One by one, they were stunned. Gradually, their expressions became excited, yet tinged with disbelief, as if they were afraid that the candle that had been lit with hope would be extinguished in an instant.
They looked cautiously and carefully at the person they trusted most.
The peak master held a high position, so they dared not approach to inquire. Instead, they looked at the deacons and elders standing around the peak master and gave them a look of confirmation, which the latter smiled and nodded.
"real?"
"Is this real?!"
In an instant, the area around the sect erupted in chaos and commotion.
"My God, I can't believe it..." Qin Shijiu reacted, gasped, and leaned back with his eyes wide open.
What comes into view is a semi-transparent veil with exquisite and profound golden patterns that has appeared high in the sky at some unknown time.
Qin Shijiu, who had almost fallen, sprang to his feet and excitedly grabbed the disciples who had rushed to help him, saying, "It's true, it's true! No wonder I suddenly felt so refreshed! Look!" He pointed upwards, and the surrounding crowd looked up in response.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the semi-transparent golden veil gradually faded, until only occasional streaks of spiritual energy remained.
This is a sign that the Realm Array has completely merged with the Dingsheng Sect. It has become invisible, covering every scene, every object, and every person in the Dingsheng Sect, seamlessly integrating and permeating every corner.
"So..." Yang Zhendao said, "We can continue to cultivate the lost Dao techniques?!" The Dao techniques he cultivated were missing the second volume due to the loss of the original inheritance, which caused his cultivation to stagnate for many years.
Back then, which disciple of Dingsheng Sect didn't hate the former sect leader, Jiang Xiaoyi, for her sudden betrayal and taking away the sect's inheritance, and for their own inability to protect it?
The loss of the legacy was a catastrophic blow to every disciple of the once-prosperous sect. Almost all the disciples were shaken, doubting their future cultivation and becoming disappointed in the sect they were so proud of. Nanmen Hong, as the former chief disciple of the Linfeng Peak Master, took the lead in leaving the sect, triggering a wave of disciples leaving the sect.
Those who remained were disciples who held deep affection for the sect and were determined to protect it.
Over time, this group of disciples gradually moved past the incident of Jiang Xiaoyi taking away the sect's inheritance, and instead focused on studying other Daoist arts. Through this process of learning from other sources, their stagnant cultivation began to improve.
As Li Sanyang broke through to the Mahayana stage on his own, bringing hope for the sect's revitalization, everyone gradually moved past their past regrets, and their minds became more stable and at ease.
So much so that they were able to calmly accept the disciples taken in by the traitor Jiang Xiaoyi, who appeared out of nowhere.
Of course, they did not completely lose hope that one day, the missing Jiang Xiaoyi might suddenly have a change of heart and return to bring back the inheritance.
The appearance of Ji Mingran, their little ancestor, gave them a real boost; could it be that hope had appeared?
This young master might indeed possess a portion of the inheritance, bringing back exactly what they desperately need. Or perhaps she brought back information about the missing Jiang Xiaoyi, allowing the peak masters to follow the clues and find her.
But when they heard that this young master's cultivation level was only at the Qi Refining stage, those who had secretly hoped for him were inevitably disappointed.
With such cultivation, how could he possibly be worthy of being called the disciple of Jiang Xiaoyi, a legendary cultivator? Perhaps it was just a matter of fate that brought them together. Jiang Xiaoyi was known for her playful nature, and casually acknowledging a disciple was just her style.
How could someone merely at the Qi Refining stage possibly access the inheritance they require? They would likely explode and die from the power of the inheritance if they even touched one or two parts of it, let alone bring back even one or two portions of the inheritance.
Fortunately, their mindset was different from back then, and they quickly adjusted their attitude. Everyone treated her as Venerable Hongyan's junior sister, a newly recruited disciple who still needed to learn Taoist arts. As long as she had needs, they wholeheartedly taught her.
After getting to know him, we found that this young master Ji was straightforward, enthusiastic and eager to learn. He even stood up for his junior disciples and taught the domineering Jin siblings a lesson, which made the latter restrain their temper.
Everyone grew to like her more and more.
After that, she served as a team leader for the Spiritual Cultivation Competition and then joined the competition team, successfully winning the championship for Dingsheng Sect. She herself became the top of the Elite List.
She and the other three ancestors revitalized the once-dormant Dingsheng Sect, restoring its former glory after three hundred years of decline.
The sect leader and peak masters were worried that she would be criticized because of the former sect leader, but little did they know that everyone gathered here from the bottom of their hearts.
All the disciples of Dingsheng Sect had long been convinced of her worth.
I wouldn't even dare to dream of it.
Everyone trembled, staring intently at Ji Mingran.
At this moment, the hope that had been extinguished in my heart and the mood that had been dimmed were suddenly rekindled by the dazzling brightness before my eyes!
As if hearing celestial music, they heard Ji Mingran announce: "The entire inheritance is in the treasure cave. Now that the Realm Array is activated, you can just go and learn from it."
What they brought back wasn't just one or two copies of the legacy, but the whole thing! The whole thing!
Ancestor Ji has brought back the entire legacy of the Dingsheng Sect!
"Furthermore, it was my master who asked me to bring back the inheritance." Ji Mingran said frankly, "Although I don't know what happened back then, bringing back the Dingsheng Sect's inheritance word for word is what she asked me to do."
"At this point, I have completely completed the task assigned to me by my master."
Everyone gazed silently at the girl beside the ancient spirit stone.
She spoke of it with ease and composure, as if it were just an ordinary task she had received from her master.
But apart from newly recruited outer disciples, who doesn't know that bringing back the inheritance is a life-or-death risk?
She is Jiang Xiaoyi's disciple, but that doesn't mean she should bear the debt to her master.
Moreover, she was only at the Qi Refining stage at the time, and what she had learned was far less than what she had put in.
Yuan Liu and Dong Lu slowly took a few steps forward, turned around and bowed deeply to Chao Jimingran, saying, "Thank you, Uncle Mingran."
All the disciples of the sect, including the four peak masters, turned to her.
"Junior Sister Xie Mingran."
"Grandmaster Xie Mingran."
"Hmm..." Ji Mingran was confused. Why was everyone suddenly making such a big deal out of it?
Suddenly, a bunch of backs of heads appeared in her field of vision. What should she do now?
Trying hard to recall the books he had learned in his previous life and the experiences of this life, Ji Mingran blinked, released his hand that was touching the ancient spirit stone and silently absorbing its spiritual energy, and laughed loudly: "No need to be polite!"
