Big Bodhi

<em class="chakra-text css-0">Boom!

The luxurious and exquisite carriage collapsed directly into thousands of pieces, but a layer of white jade-like mysterious light floated around Zhao Yanran's body, which firmly protected her.

"Could it be that this boy … is really the eldest son of the Ji family which has been dominating the inner city!?"

"Haha, even the nobles from cultivation families go through such embarrassing moments!"

"It is said that this woman is the very famous Miss Zhao Yanran of the Zhao family. Even in the inner city, she is considered a person of importance!”

"Ji Yuenian was very famous a while back. Even my countryman in the outer city knows his name. He is a genius who ignited his Heart Fire when he was just six years old!"

"I was fortunate enough to see the portrait of the eldest son of the Ji family. If we look closely, this robed boy is really the eldest son of Ji Yuenian who trounced his peers!"

"But I heard not long ago that Young Master Ji has already disappeared in the Qingluan Mountains, where demons run rampant, and one will die if they enter!"

Nearly a hundred onlookers were talking, many of them from the inner city of the Ancient City of Taichu, and even a few people from the Xuan Realm who ignited their Heart Fire silently looked at the people in the center of the main road.

The smoke gradually dissipated, and Zhao Yanran stood up in embarrassment, her eyes full of fear.

The Ji family’s, Ji Yuenian, of the Ancient City of Taichu. People of the same generation were overwhelmed by this name for eleven years. Although Zhao Yanran had a very special identity in the Zhao family, she did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Ji Yuenian.

Moreover, if one thought about it carefully, Ji Yuenian was still one of her closest cousins. However, because of Ji Yuenian's mother's early death, the relationship between him and the Zhao family was actually very ordinary; with very little contact through rare interaction over the years. Only Zhao Xiaoyun, the second son of the main line of the Zhao family, was slightly closer to the Ji family.

"It turns out that my cousin is here." Zhao Yanran thought for a moment, and the pale white shield around her body gradually faded. She lowered her head and said apologetically, “I'm sorry if I was rude. I didn't realize that my cousin was in front of me."

Although she never ignited the Heart Fire, she had several treasures protecting her, and the pale white halo that protected her just now was one of them.

Ji Yuenian studied Zhao Yanran’s attitude and mannerism, then said softly, “There is no need to be so polite, I have nothing to do with the Zhao family, and I am not familiar with you at all."

Having said that, he turned around and walked towards the inner city along the official road.

Ji Bugui glanced at Zhao Yanran, whose face was dark, and Zhao Sixing, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, snorted lightly, and quickly turned to follow.

After a moment of silence, furious discussions erupted!

Zhao Si Xing suddenly opened his eyes, and xuan energy flowed across the lower half of his face, briefly revealing the flesh and blood on his lips. He said in a low voice, "Miss Yanran, Ji Yuenian, who was rumored to have died, suddenly returned unscathed. I should go back and report this matter as soon as possible."

Nodding lightly, Zhao Yanran's complexion became extremely gloomy. She gritted her teeth and said, "This fellow is so arrogant! He's just a savage with a lowly bloodline!"

Zhao Sixing's complexion changed drastically in an instant, and he said anxiously, "Miss Yanran, be careful! Be careful!"

Zhao Yanran understood that she had made a slip of the tongue, so she stopped speaking, went forward, and lifted the curtains, stepping into the intact and luxurious carriage.

Ji Yuenian's mother was named Zhao Yinyue, who was the closest sister of the current Zhao family's head, but her identity was somewhat different from ordinary Zhao family members. She was born of the old family head and a female ghost. She was bullied in the Zhao family.

It was not until Ji Hong married Zhao Yinyue that she gradually gained her due status and respect in the Zhao family, but seven days after Ji Yuenian was born, Zhao Yinyue, who was only sixteen years old, died. It caused quite a stir in the Ancient City of Taichu.

North Luzhou City had endless territory. The territory worshiped one of the six Imperial Emperors, Emperor Zhenwu. It was ruled by the Heavenly King Duowen who abandoned Buddhism and entered the Heavenly Court.

The immeasurable beings in it all had a limited lifespan. Except for the Third Tribulation powerhouse created by the power and good fortune, the basic lifespan of any famous person was under the control of the life and death spirits in the Nether Realm.

The three tribulations were the major gateway that must be overcome by beings who had reached a certain level of cultivation.

After each tribulation, the cultivation base and lifespan would skyrocket countless times. If one passed through the third tribulation completely, he wouldn't have to suffer from the constant changes of life and death.

An ordinary person's basic life expectancy was mostly around a hundred years old. Even if there were some short-lived people, if they didn't meet any accident, they would at least have a basic life expectancy of more than seventy years old.

However, Zhao Yinyue died when she was only sixteen years old. Even Daoist Hexuan, who had reached the great perfection of the True Dao Realm, had been invited to come for her induction inspection, and the final conclusion was still that Zhao Yinyue died because of the exhaustion of her lifespan.

The Great perfection of the True Dao Realm was a very special realm. Although it was still in the True Dao Realm, it represented the Great Perfection of the True Dao Realm. If one were fortunate enough to go further, he could rank among the Divine Sea Powerhouse that were enough to shock the hundreds of thousands of miles of territory.

Even the most powerful Sect, Taiyu Ancient Sect, in the Yuanyan Realm now had less than ten powerhouses in the Divine Sea Realm.

The Xuan Realm, the True Dao Realm, the Divine Sea Realm.

Although there were only three known realms. Within a hundred thousand beings, even one or two True Dao Realm cultivators might not be born, let alone the extremely mysterious Divine Sea Realm.

At that time, with the departure of the Zhao family's carriage, the onlookers also slowly dispersed, and the wide main road gradually returned to its former calm.

The news that Ji Yuenian, the eldest son of the Ji family, had returned intact, spread throughout the magnificent and vast Taichu’s territory at a very fast speed. All the major cultivators turned their attention to the Ji family for a while, waiting to watch a good show.

Everyone knew that not long ago, Ji family gave birth to a genius who could be compared with Ji Yuenian. She was Ji Quexue, the daughter of Ji Hong, who awakened a Grade 6 Heart Fire Sequence.

Normally, Ji Yuenian's safe and sound return should have been a great joy for the Ji family, but at that time, it was only a few dozen days before the Taiyu Sect's outer court opened its gate, and the one position obtained by the Ji family to directly enter the outer court had already fallen in Ji Quexue's hands.

Even the Great Elder Ji Luoyan, who had always insisted on letting Ji Baiyu replace Ji Yuenian, had nothing to say this time. The Grade 6 Heart Fire Sequence was enough to suppress all the dissenting voices in the Ji family.

Two people possessing Grade 6 Heart Fire Sequence appeared in the Ji family at the same time, and they were both direct descendants of the family head. They both were qualified to directly gain the position of Taiyu Ancient Sect's outer court disciple. Whom would the Ji family hand over the position? Not only were a few cultivating families waiting to see a good show, but even many Xuan Realm and even True Dao Realm loose cultivators who lived in the inner city, had all focused their attention on Anyang City, where the Ji family was located.

…

One of the eight major cities in the inner city of Taichu, Anyang City.

Ji Family.

"What did you say!?" Ji Hong stood up abruptly and stared at Xu Jianghe, the commander of the guards in front of him.

"Nian'er is back?"

Xu Jianghe looked solemn and respectfully saluted.

"Patriarch, there is indeed news of the return of the eldest son from the outer city, and the people I just sent have also returned. This is absolutely true!"
