Chapter 4: I Cannot Be a Bad Seed

Little does she know, this has nothing to do with fate. It is purely the doing of her senior brother

It seems that such luster can only be seen after his spirit leaves the body

However, Shitong entered the mountains three years earlier than Shixiu, so her cultivation time is considerably longer, yet the time it took to reach the perfection of the Qi Swirl Realm is quite similar.

Which time traveler is not a prodigy

Leave a line for others, so that you may meet again in the future The wise saying of the older generation is often disregarded by the spirited youth, only to be regretted when it is too late

Moreover, due to the impact of the event that occurred twenty years ago at Xianhua Peak, sunlight struggles to penetrate, resulting in a relatively dim atmosphere. Upon a sudden glance, it even exudes a somewhat eerie aura

Shitong's innate talent is undoubtedly somewhat inferior to Shixiu's, although both girls are currently at the peak of the Qi Rotation stage. It is merely due to the insufficient amount of celestial materials for refining external elixirs that they are unable to make a breakthrough

Such a thing took him by surprise

At this moment, all the precious energy within the Lingwa Stone was unexpectedly drawn into his shadowy soul.

Am I really lacking in talent? Ji Yi muttered to himself

He turned his head and flew back to his own room, looking at his own body

"Deserved it!" She poked the table with her chopsticks, "This is retribution, humph, a worthless woman who stirs up trouble for no reason, even heaven will not spare her

At this moment, Gong Jinxiu likely still does not understand where she went wrong, or why she has fallen to such a state.

Ji Yi seemed to be lost in thought: "Could it be that what I see is the 'root bone' of my junior sister?"

Ji Yi speculated that the colors he was currently seeing within his junior sister were her "root bones"; however, due to the lack of other reference points, he was unable to make further judgments.

Ordinary Yin demons, even if they can seize a person's path, absolutely cannot achieve such a level

The technique is not suitable

Sister Shitong is knocking on the door outside; at this rate, if he does not respond soon, she is likely to break the entire door down with a single strike.

Therefore, the junior sister is basically taken care of by him, and in his heart, she is like a younger sister.

It is certainly not due to poor innate qualities

As he opened his eyes, a radiant light emanated from them, and in an instant, the distinction between reality and illusion sparked with electricity, illuminating the previously dim alchemical chamber.

If Gong Jinxiu had known that her moment of arrogance would lead to such an outcome, not only failing to achieve a breakthrough but also causing her cultivation to regress, and even leading to the destruction of her sect's treasured collection accumulated over hundreds of years, she would surely regret her actions from the very beginning

It is absolutely impossible ... I was taken in by my master since childhood, and the only reason for my slow progress in cultivating the sect's techniques is one.

The soul passed directly through the wall, and he saw that in the spacious room, the tables and chairs had been moved further aside, creating more space.

In a corner of this vast spiritual energy, there is a trace of aura, resembling a stream of azure water, crystal clear and flowing.

He quietly retreated and flew towards Junior Sister Qi Shitong's room

At this moment, what he sees more is a silhouette outlined by a dashed line

Passing through the wall, he saw Shitong sitting cross-legged on the couch, also practicing her cultivation technique

Knowing that the woman had failed in her advancement, she was even more delighted than when she herself had achieved a breakthrough in her own realm

Indeed, this sect leader is clearly a senior brother, having spent more time in the mountains for cultivation than they have, yet he has not even perfected the Qi Rotation Realm. This is primarily because the Xuánjī Sword Pavilion is a sect for female cultivators, and its techniques are not particularly suitable for male practitioners

but rather a gathering of various colors, the entire world seems to be pieced together by many colors, mottled and chaotic, bizarre and strange

That being said

The formless and intangible soul often amplifies its emotions further

The color is dimmer than that of the two junior sisters, and the internal "cracks" are countless more than theirs

The soup was very full, and Li Shixiu, fearing it would spill, almost did not touch the ground. Relying on her perfect lightness skill, her upper body remained steady and unwavering as she steadily placed it on the dining table

Upon examining his own soul body, he discovered that it emanated a radiant glow of five colors, profound and unfathomable, beyond comprehension

He is merely at the Qi Swirl Realm and is fundamentally incapable of achieving soul separation on his own

In the midst of the indistinct, he perceived that within this storm of precious energy, there was a glimmer of brilliance, akin to a strand of colorful silk twisted from five hues, mysterious and unfathomable

Although she put on a "strained face," it is evident that she is actually in a good mood. When she is in a good mood, no matter how much she tries to disguise it, those two little dimples are particularly noticeable.

My whole body feels as if it is about to fall apart

Such matters are beyond imagination, and only his body, that of the outer domain's shadow demon, is capable of achieving this

Ji Yi certainly knows that the precious orb is the Lingwa Stone

Li Shixiu was taken up the mountain by him. At that time, the master had already suffered a relapse of an old injury, his lifespan greatly diminished, and could only devote himself wholeheartedly in an attempt to break through

The hue within her body is slightly darker than that of the junior sister, and within the shadows outlined by dashed lines and the blending of colors, there are also many cracks.

Cultivators also need to eat and drink; the notion that one can live for a hundred years merely by absorbing the wind and drinking dew is at least attainable only at the Celestial Being realm

From this perspective, it is evident that Shixiu's talent is clearly superior to that of Shitong

Unfortunately, there is no remedy for regret in this world

-

Understood, understood! The young sect leader pressed her head down again.

Yes, yes

Thus, prior to this, he had never truly sought to harm anyone's moral conduct... He did not wish to actively engage in kindness towards strangers, yet he also did not want to hinder anyone

It is not because of his poor innate qualities

Ji Yi sat up unsteadily, stretching his arms... So tired

She has a cheerful disposition, and therefore, there are quite a few acquaintances outside Xianhua Peak. A few days ago, although her senior brother did not inform her of Gong Jinxiu's actions, she quickly managed to find out about them.

At the moment when the two converged, an incredible event occurred

The better the constitution, the more vibrant the "colors" within the body, he judged

Hehe! Qi Shitong said, "Senior Brother, let me tell you, something happened over at the Chao Xuanzong last night. That Gong Jinxiu failed in her breakthrough. The specific details are still unknown, but I heard it was quite tragic, hehe."

She can bully her senior, but others cannot bully him

I am indeed a time traveler

Yet his spirit roamed around his body.

Within at least the six sects of Jinting, there is absolutely no one who has reached such a level

Ji Yi himself is not quite sure why it has turned out this way

It turns out that the shadow demon is capable of seizing a person's cultivation body... This is something he has only just come to know.

In the shadow outlined by dashed lines, there is only a faint hue, and within it are numerous cracks.

After all, she is a girl, and her height is much shorter than Ji Yi's. At this moment, as she speaks words of admonition, she places her hands on her hips, raises her head, and puffs out her chest, even standing on her tiptoes to elevate herself slightly, just to barely convey a sense of authority that matches her words

In his gaze, the world is no longer that colorless gray.

Ji Yi's soul body flew out of the Dan chamber

Approximately wanting to practice a set of swordsmanship before bed at https://www.hetushu.com, the junior sister wore a pink and white strapless top on her upper body, light-colored silk trousers on her lower body, while her outer garment had already been folded beside the couch

This Ji Yi, however, is aware ... . ... It is the power that Gong Jinxiu was deprived of by him

Last night, I actively allowed my soul to leave my body for the first time. Upon returning, unexpectedly, I felt sore all over, exhausted and fatigued

He saw his own body still sitting on the mat, with his eyes closed in deep contemplation

"Stop being a lazy pig!" Qi Shitong exclaimed, "Shixiu has already prepared lunch, how can you still be sleeping? Hmph, this is not acceptable. You still go on about wanting to revitalize the Sword Pavilion, is this how you plan to do it?"

In another world, the connections between people are extremely tenuous; you do not provoke me, nor do I provoke you; you do not help me, nor do I help you; even the neighbors next door are like strangers, neither interfering with nor hindering each other

His own spirit is like a treasure trove, filled with a powerful and mysterious force. Although it is chaotic and unordered, it swirls into a vortex, leaving not a single trace behind

He flew towards the room of his junior apprentice, Li Shixiu, where the light of swords was flashing.

All things in the world are not born equal. This is also true for cultivators; innate talent does exist, referred to as "root bone".

It is dawn, time to get up, the sun is shining on our backs! First, there was a series of loud knocking sounds, followed by the girl's shouts

He is unable to exercise self-control!

In his eyes, the body of the junior sister is also composed of a fusion of colors

Because of this matter, she was angry and upset for several days, only regaining her happiness today

The treasured artifacts collected by Emperor Xuanzong for hundreds of years, said to be capable of enhancing one's essence and strengthening one's bones, can only be accessed by the true disciples of the sect, and others have naturally heard of them long ago

Li Shixiu has fair and delicate skin, and she enjoys wearing white clothing. Compared to her senior sister's vivacity, she appears more serene.

In the next moment, his spirit suddenly turned and flew out of his body

Differences in innate qualities lead some individuals to progress smoothly and advance relentlessly in their cultivation, while others find their efforts yield little result, struggling even to break through the most fundamental realm of Qi Swirl

It turns out that although Ji Yi has been a shadow demon for many years, he is not inherently bad. He believes in the principle of not offending others if they do not offend him, and he is not willing to easily disrupt the cultivation of others

Ji Yi asked, "What is it?"

Ji Yi silently examined himself, the chaotic treasures vast and boundless like the sea, while his own spirit was like a sponge, absorbing them all within.

Unlike the junior apprentice, Shitong has always referred to him simply as Senior Brother, rather than Master Senior Brother

Further confirmation and analysis are still required

I never expected that after my soul and the spiritual energy extracted from the Lingwa Stone merged with the five-colored threads, it would have such marvelous uses

And now, within a radius of one hundred miles, there are no others attempting to break through, and the lingering dark spirits have long since dissipated

Qi Shitong sat on the stool, her left elbow resting on the table, her delicate hand supporting her cheek, while her right hand held chopsticks, poking at the air and humming a tune

At this moment, Ji Yi cannot see the luster within her body

In the high sky, thunderclouds swirl, surrounded by dark purple gas masses. Ji Yi, lost in thought, realizes that these are the lingering malevolent energies produced by the calamity that occurred twenty years ago.

His essence is that of a traveler through time, while also being a person, unlike other shadowy demons that exist as beast-like entities driven solely by instinct

It was that moment that provoked his resentment, leading him to lose control.

She has a petite figure and graceful movements, wielding a slender sword that unfurls like the drifting willow catkins in the sky

If it were not for Gong Jinxiu's meddlesome intervention, he would never have gone against her

The young sect leader looked up at the sky, where dark clouds covered Xianhua Peak, shrouding it in perpetual gloom. However, it was still possible to discern that it was nearly noon.

Strangely, Ji Yi was actually able to see the flow of true energy within his junior sister's body

The separation of the primordial spirit from the body; this is something that even those in the Nascent Soul realm cannot achieve

In the entire history of the six sects of Jinting, spanning over a thousand years, only two individuals have reached the Celestial Realm

"What to do, what to do?" Ji Yi got up helplessly and went over to open the door

However, he does not actually understand the specific functions of the Lingwa Stone

It seems that the hue within does not represent a person's innate qualities and talents

He extended his own consciousness, immersing himself in it, and cautiously made contact with the faint five-colored thread.

Thus, even if someone were to break through and upgrade within a hundred miles of him in the past, he, constrained by the nature of the shadow demon, would be drawn towards it, yet it would merely be a superficial response to the narrative

What happened?" Ji Yi turned to ask his junior sister Shi Tong

Although she appears to be angry, her eyes are smiling like those of a book, and the dimples on both cheeks are quite pronounced, making her delicate face even more adorable

Because she always says that this senior brother lacks ability, it would be better to hand over the position of the sect leader to her sooner rather than later

The surroundings of Xianhua Peak are filled with a turbulent flow of a grim green hue, exhibiting a high degree of disorder

I still need to conduct further research

It is important to note that although he possesses a body of shadow demons, in the past, he would only be stirred by that mysterious force when someone within a radius of one hundred miles was in seclusion to break through, or when someone was forging treasures or refining tools, whether successfully or not, at that time, the shadow souls would leave their bodies and merge with other shadow demons

Although I had left in the form of a shadowy spirit multiple times before, it felt as natural as the blooming and withering of flowers. Upon returning to my body, there was no discomfort whatsoever

The color of this shadow is uneven, and there are seams that appear to indicate some defects

In theory, such matters can only be accomplished with the aid of special divine abilities after reaching the Celestial Realm.

What time is it already, and you still haven't gotten up!" Qi Shitong placed her hands on her hips, "No wonder you, the sect leader, are progressing slower and slower in your cultivation, your skills are not improving at all.

Indeed, Mingming is merely a "low-level" practitioner in the realm of Qi vortex, yet he is able to achieve a state of spiritual transcendence. If this were to be known, it would surely be shocking to all.

Senior Brother Zhangmen! Junior Sister Li Shixiu gracefully emerged from the direction of the kitchen, holding a bowl of soup.

Like water and milk merging together, his spirit unexpectedly fused with that five-colored radiance

Is this the power of the Lingwa Stone? He seemed to be deep in thought

The hall was extremely large; during the peak of Jian Pavilion, there were hundreds of outer disciples alone.

That girl is still practicing her swordsmanship! A feeling of pity surged in Ji Yi's heart

She was so furious that she almost took a sword to confront Emperor Xuanzong... Even though she knew she was far from being a match for Gong Jinxiu, she simply could not swallow her anger

Senior Brother! Qi Shitong clapped her chopsticks, folded her hands, leaned forward slightly, and said excitedly, "I went outside the mountain this morning and gathered some news. Guess what?"

Indeed, she is a disreputable junior disciple who is constantly eyeing the position of the sect leader

The upper body is adorned with a light blue inner garment, complemented by a pink front-opening outer garment. A pomegranate red embroidered skirt cinches the hem of the outer garment at the waist, creating an elegant silhouette.

In a corner of Xianhua Peak, the young man on the meditation cushion in the red chamber suddenly opened his eyes

After washing up, I went to the dining hall together with Junior Sister Shitong
