After Ji Qiuhan left, Qi Zhiheng continued to discuss the Supreme Breakthrough Pill with the Ji family head.
Qi Zhiheng handed the pills in his hand to the Ji family head for testing: "The Ji family head should check them first, so that there may be some problems that have not been discovered."
The Ji family head also understood that it was best to check everything thoroughly now, otherwise it would be bad if any problems arose later and the two sides were involved again.
The Ji family is naturally not afraid of the Qi family, but the Ji family is afraid of the Gensei Institute behind the Qi family.
After Qi Zhiheng finished taking care of things here, he returned to the Qi residence.
Yang Lingzhou was still waiting for news at the Qi residence. When he saw Qi Zhiheng return, he stepped forward anxiously and asked, "How did things go?"
Qi Zhiheng nodded and said, "Patriarch Yang, rest assured. Wenwen has already reached an agreement with Patriarch Ji, and Ji Qiuhan has already had the matter withdrawn. Presumably, Patriarch Ji should be able to handle the rest on his own, right?"
Yang Lingzhou breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news: "Thanks to the Qi family for their help in this matter. As per the deal, please accept the key to the Tianheng Secret Realm." He took out the box containing the key to the Tianheng Secret Realm.
Qi Zhiheng didn't stand on ceremony; this was exactly what he had been after, so naturally he wanted to take it for himself.
After finishing his business, Yang Lingzhou hurriedly rushed back. If the Ji family retreated, he would need to return to take charge of the overall situation.
Ye Xin ultimately did not go back with them. After all, she had chosen the Qi family over the Yang family. Even if she went back, the Yang family would not make things difficult for her because of their daughter. However, she had already drifted apart from her husband, so she might as well stay with her daughter.
Inside the Ji family compound, after Qi Zhiheng left, Ji Qiuhan went to the family head to inquire about Qi Zhiheng's purpose and why the troops in Qianshi City were being withdrawn.
The Ji family head only mentioned Qi Zhiheng's relationship with the Yang family, implying that he would do them a favor, without mentioning the matter of the Broken Venerable Pill.
Ji Qiuhan was somewhat surprised. He knew who Yang Yiqian was engaged to. Although he pretended not to know in front of Yang Yiqian, he had someone investigate thoroughly. The information clearly stated that Yang Yitian was a mentally challenged woman. But now, looking at Yang Yitian, he no longer seemed mentally challenged.
But at this moment, he could only temporarily suppress his doubts. Compiled by the Yuxi team, please stay tuned.
Yang Yiqian was informed that the Ji family had withdrawn their people, and she went to Ji Qiuhan to ask about it, despite being heavily pregnant!
Ji Qiuhan glanced at her and said, "There's nothing I can do about it; it's the head of the family's decision."
"Patriarch? Why would the patriarch concern himself with such a trivial matter? You're not lying to me, are you?" Yang Yiqian didn't quite believe Ji Qiuhan's words. She had been deceived once before regarding Wu Qingyang's matter, and now she had lost all trust in Ji Qiuhan.
"What do you mean by this?" Ji Qiuhan said, displeased. "I wouldn't lie to you about something so trivial! This is the head of the family giving the Qi family face; it has nothing to do with me."
"The Qi family? How come the Qi family is involved in this?" Yang Yiqian frowned.
Ji Qiuhan glanced at her and said sarcastically, "You're asking me? Have you forgotten that Qi Zhiheng's grandmother was a direct descendant of the Yang family?"
“But, but the Qi family has already fallen out with the Yang family.” Yang Yiqian couldn’t understand it. What made her even more uncomfortable was that the dignified head of the Yang family actually had to give Qi Zhiheng face.
Thinking about this made her feel even more heartbroken. He used to be her fiancé, but looking at Ji Qiuhan now, she felt there was no comparison at all!
Ji Qiuhan said, "The Qi family has a falling out with your collateral branch, not with the direct branch. It's not impossible that they want to help the direct branch deal with your collateral branch."
"Then why don't you say a word for us in front of the head of the family?" Yang Yiqian was dissatisfied that Ji Qiuhan hadn't spoken up for their collateral branch at all.
Ji Qiuhan said impatiently, "There is never any room for refusal when the head of the family makes a decision!"
"What should we do? Are we just going to leave my family like this?" Yang Yiqian also had to think of a solution.
Ji Qiuhan still had to consider Yang Yiqian's feelings, so she came up with a solution: "Have your family move to another city to develop their careers. With my help, nothing will go wrong. It's just the Yang family; if I can't control them, then I can't control them."
Yang Yiqian thought about it and agreed, so she said, "Then I'll write a letter right away, and you can deliver it to me."
Yang Yiqian went downstairs to write a letter.
After settling his family affairs, Qi Zhiheng returned to Yuansheng Academy. The Tianheng Secret Realm was fraught with danger, and he needed to learn about its situation first.
Qi Zhiheng encountered Jin Yu in the Yuansheng Academy. Compared to the Jin Yu he had met at the beginning, Jin Yu had not only lost weight, but also looked very spirited and dashing.
"Brother Qi! Sister-in-law! Long time no see!" Jin Yu stepped forward and greeted them.
Yang Yitian looked you up and down and praised you, "You seem to be doing well lately. You've become even more handsome."
Jin Yu said very modestly, "Sister-in-law, you flatter me." Of course, if his expression hadn't been so smug, his modesty would have been even more believable.
"Look how smug you are," Yang Yitian said, pursing his lips.
Jin Yu then got down to business: "So, are those rumors outside true?"
"What rumor?" Qi Zhiheng asked, puzzled.
Jin Yu said, "You don't know, do you? Everyone outside is saying that my sister-in-law ate some kind of spiritual treasure, which is why she woke up from her previous idiocy and even awakened her spiritual body. Some people say that you might still have spiritual treasures."
"Nonsense!" Qi Zhiheng hadn't expected such rumors to circulate outside. He said, "The reason you were able to awaken in a day is simply because you awakened your spiritual body and were enlightened after being impacted by spiritual energy. Any talk of spiritual treasures is just nonsense."
What Qi Zhiheng said was, of course, just made up on the spot.
"Oh, I see. Then I'll go buy some advertising for you." Jin Yu felt that this was a more reasonable explanation.
Qi Zhiheng gave him a bottle of pills: "Promote it more, this is your reward."
"I'm so sorry," Jin Yu said, his hand holding the pills not hesitating at all. He immediately put the pills away and then began his promotional work.
To ensure his safety when entering the Tianheng Secret Realm, Qi Zhiheng needs to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible; otherwise, he may face great danger within the Tianheng Secret Realm.
Yang Yiqian wrote a letter and gave it to Ji Qiuhan, asking Ji Qiuhan to deliver it to the collateral relatives.
Upon receiving the letter, the collateral branch of the Yang family immediately and quickly withdrew, following the Ji family towards the imperial city, eventually settling in a city along the way.
Although the direct descendants of the Yang family regained the initiative, they were severely weakened, and their influence in Qianshi City was reduced by one-third.
Qi Zhiheng was not concerned about what happened next, as long as nothing endangered the Qi family.
After consuming the Zhongfu Shen Dan last time, Yang Yitian's cultivation speed returned to normal, much faster than Qi Zhiheng's. By drawing talismans, he entered the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Before Qi Zhiheng broke through, Qi Wantian broke through first.
After taking a Breakthrough Pill, he broke through the Foundation Establishment barrier and entered the Golden Core stage.
On the day Qi Wantian broke through, thunder and rain raged in the direction of the Qi family. Qi Zhiheng noticed this situation and quickly understood what had happened. This should be a Golden Core tribulation concealed by an array!
Upon seeing the situation at home, Qi Zhiheng immediately went home with Yang Yitian.
Everyone in the family was there, including Yang Yao's mother. If they wanted to stay in the Qi family for a long time, they naturally had to sign a contract, especially since these were originally members of the Yang family.
When Qi Zhiheng arrived home, twelve lightning bolts had already struck. Normally, the lightning tribulation should have struck eighteen times.
Qi Zhiheng asked, "Is everything alright at home?"
Qi Zhenhao replied, "Nothing unusual has happened yet."
Everyone looked towards the direction of the lightning tribulation. Qi Wantian's house had already been reduced to ruins by the lightning, and the subsequent lightning strikes were increasingly fierce. Even Qi Zhiheng couldn't help but feel a little alarmed. In any case, this lightning tribulation for a Golden Core cultivator was definitely beyond his ability to withstand.
Just as everyone was filled with worry, the last and most powerful bolt of lightning was about to strike, but it seemed to be just there for show, circling in the clouds before disappearing.
The tribulation clouds dispersed, and the tribulation ended.
Qi Zhiheng frowned: "The situation isn't good." Could it be that the Core Formation attempt failed?
The Qi family has already gone to check on Qi Wantian's condition.
Qi Wantian's clothes were somewhat tattered, and his skin was charred black from being chopped.
Qi Zhiheng asked, "Great-Grandpa, what do you think?"
Qi Wantian opened his mouth and exhaled a puff of black smoke, then quickly covered his mouth.
Qi Zhiheng was speechless.
Qi Wantian emerged from the ruins and said, "I'm not quite sure either. It seems I failed to form my core. Can you take a look and see what's going on?"
Qi Zhiheng explained that, normally, forming a golden core requires passing through eighteen lightning tribulations of spiritual energy. However, the lightning tribulation just now only had seventeen tribulations, and the last one dissipated, which means that the core formation failed.
However, the reason for the failure to form the core was not because Qi Wantian could not mature, but because the tribulation lightning itself ran away.
Qi Zhiheng said, "I'll go find some information."
Qi Zhiheng then went to inquire about the moon beast.
After listening, the Moon Beast said, "It must be because of the rules of this world. In this world, the existence of Golden Core stage is not allowed. So your great-grandfather has at least formed a false Golden Core. If he wants to truly achieve the Golden Core, he still needs to break through this world and enter the world of cultivation. At that time, the final heavenly lightning will descend."
After listening to the explanation, Qi Zhiheng seemed to be deep in thought. In that case, it would be best for him to go to the cultivation world to break through to the Golden Core stage before getting married in the future.
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Moon Goddess. I'll be leaving now." After taking his leave, Qi Zhiheng used his divine sense to send a message to his family.
Qi Wantian said, "So be it! In the end, this is the highest level of cultivation on the Xuanling Continent."
Qi Zhiheng didn't say anything. Although he planned to find a passage to the cultivation world, whether he could find it was still unknown, and he couldn't make a promise to his family right now.
