Chapter 5 The Legacy of the Predecessor
However, conversely, there is no one whose body is completely devoid of gray. In this case, it is likely that individuals without any talent do not exist, but those with perfect innate qualities probably do not exist either
Indeed, both Shitong and Shixiu possess exceptional innate talent
Continuing to ponder: "Those with a multitude of colors within their body possess excellent root bones, while those with few colors possess poor root bones"
Seeing him lost in thought, Qi Shitong assumed he was at a loss and deeply worried, so she urged him: "Don't worry so much, there will surely be a way when we reach the mountain. Just leave it to the two of us when the time comes. You should hurry and cultivate, hehe, clearly the sect leader, yet the least capable, ranking last in the entire sect, isn't that embarrassing?"
Ji Yi's spirit continued to drift through the city
In this way, they have the time to cultivate more advanced martial arts and techniques
Nevertheless, he was also aware that in order to achieve something at the Xuan Zhen Deng Long Grand Ceremony six months later, he must first ensure that the two junior sisters break through to the External Scene realm as soon as possible
I am afraid that only the true disciples accepted by the heads of various sects can be compared with them
Ji Yi, however, rented a room in the inn. He sat cross-legged on the bed, just like last night, with his spirit leaving his body.
On that day, he was extremely frustrated in the back mountain, having practiced for so long, yet he had barely entered the Qi Swirl Realm, making him feel utterly useless
In the afternoon, I departed from the mountain and arrived at Huajiang City outside the mountain
The inner disciples or the masters of the sect possess a vibrant hue within their bodies, while the outer disciples tend to be significantly inferior in comparison
I have always been comforting him, encouraging him, and have never given up on him!
Generally speaking, outer disciples like these are basically unable to access the true secret teachings of the sect. Each day, they only engage in tasks for the sect while uniformly cultivating according to the curriculum, and most of them achieve only the Condensation Realm in their lifetime
He recalled his childhood, when despite his diligent practice of martial arts, his progress was exceedingly slow
The Way is not for all beings, yet it can respond to the cultivation of all beings
Ji Yi Cun said: "Whenever a prestigious sect seeks to recruit new members, they will establish assessments to test the aptitude of those who wish to pursue the path of immortality. The vast majority of individuals are unable to pass these assessments; only those with exceptional foundations can succeed in the selection process.
If the colors within these individuals represent their innate qualities, does it imply that there are no individuals who are completely devoid of talent, but rather that the majority of people possess relatively poor innate qualities
Talent is an objective existence
This is the nearest county seat to Jintingshan, which is relatively prosperous and also sees many cultivators coming and going.
They have bamboo plaques at their waists, with a faint green aura flowing around them, and the plaques are engraved with the image of two dragons embracing a cauldron
Such failures in breakthroughs cannot be concealed from others
The resources in the mountains are severely lacking; it seems that we must start with the Spirit Nüwa Stone! He appeared to be deep in thought
He still finds it somewhat difficult to grasp the nature of his out-of-body spirit
In prestigious sects such as the Shangyou Longding Clan, there are naturally many outer disciples in the mountains, and these outer disciples often take on various menial tasks in their daily lives
He looked at himself, adorned in a myriad of colorful radiance
Qi Shitong originally wanted to tease her senior brother, but upon hearing the timid words of her junior sister, she couldn't help but bite her lip, and then her eyes widened: "When soldiers come, we will block them; when water comes, we will cover it with earth. Senior brother, you can rest assured, just leave it to the two of us, and we will definitely make those people pay for it."
There are only three of them in the entire sect
After all, this is the largest city outside of Jintingshan, and with the Chongmiao Grand Assembly just concluded, it is not surprising to see practitioners from various sects or even those from outside.
Ah, that must be a mistake
He is able to see the shadows within these road users.
However, some restless spirits cannot remain in the sunlight
Moreover, the spirit leaves the body while the physical form merely sits here, resembling a state of rest. Why, upon returning, does the physical body feel so fatigued?
However, empirical evidence over the past thousand years has proven that individuals with talent progress remarkably quickly when they engage in practice, while some others, despite investing numerous resources, find their pace of development akin to that of a tortoise
Most people have shadows within them that are dim, with only a few strands of color
His spirit flew out of the inn, passed through the walls, and soared in the street
However, his spirit does not fear the sunlight
Li Shixiu sat on a stone nearby, anxiously rubbing her waist ribbon, and said softly: "What if we are unable to defend Xianhua Peak during the Xuanzhen Ascension Ceremony in six months? What should we do?"
"Xuanhua Sword Dance" is one of the sword techniques secretly preserved by the Xuanji Sword Pavilion, and it is also the primary martial art that Qi Shitong is currently practicing
Although both immortals and Buddhas repeatedly proclaim the equality of all beings, even they would likely be reluctant to accept a foolish disciple
Ji Yi said, "You all practice first. Some supplies in the mountains have been used up, so I will go down the mountain to buy some more."
In retrospect, how could the master, who raised him since childhood, not be aware of his poor aptitude?
Qi Shitong held a sharp sword, the light of the sword unfurling, resembling a constantly rotating lantern alongside the illustrations in the book
Ji Yi is actually not bad at swordsmanship, but his skill is still slightly inferior to hers, which is why he is being overwhelmed by her throughout the fight
The primordial spirit that has transcended the realm of mortals, soaring through clouds and mist, traveling thousands of miles effortlessly, naturally has no need to worry about sunlight
Immediately after, he turned to Li Shixiu and said, "Junior Sister, there are still six months left, so do not overly boost others' ambitions while undermining our own prestige"
Since I have already rented a room in the inn, I might as well turn in and sleep here, resting for a while before deciding what to do next
Gong Jinxiu is the favored daughter of the Chao Xuan Dynasty, and everyone is watching to see if she will become the youngest Yuanying realm master among the six sects of Jinting
They are outer disciples of the Shangyou Longding Sect
There is completely no "color" within the body, not a single one; rather, the hues present in most human bodies are merely a few sparse threads.
Walking outside is sufficient to achieve success and fame in the secular martial arts world
Yier! That woman, dressed in a long, goose-yellow Daoist robe and with her hair styled in an elegant bun, sat on the grass with a gentle smile. "Our Xuánjī Sword Pavilion is a sect for female cultivators, and the inner techniques are naturally more suitable for girls to practice. It is quite normal for you to progress slowly; there is no need to feel so discouraged."
The body of the yin spirit, when illuminated by the sun, can easily lead to the complete annihilation of both form and spirit. Yet, how could the soul of the yang spirit be so easily cultivated?
Last night, I saw two junior sisters whose bodies were vibrant in color, yet still bore many dark cracks, lacking completeness
The four Taoists are dressed in blue robes, which are devoid of any embellishments
Initially, there were some concerns about whether the spirit would be affected by the scorching sun during the day when it leaves the body.
Mingming left in the form of a shadow demon, and when returning, it would not be like this
After the meal, he practiced swordsmanship together with two junior female disciples
Ji Yi's spiritual body floated back, drifting alongside the - diagram - book while thinking to himself: "It seems there is no mistake, the more vibrant the colors within the body, the better the root quality. In the entire city, there is not a single person whose body lacks 'color'"
Beneath her sword dance, the sword light burst forth like clusters of flowers suddenly blooming, dazzling the onlookers
Ji Yi no longer takes this matter to heart
At this moment, I have made a large circle in the city and have encountered several practitioners and inner disciples. Although there are many colors within them, none are more vibrant than those of the two of them
After this, Ji Yi saw several cultivators in the city
Ji Yi observed that these four outer disciples of the Shangyou Longding Sect had approximately more than twenty colors within their bodies, which was already considered abundant compared to the few strands of color seen in other passersby.
He now only wishes to study the new abilities he acquired after merging with the Lingwa Stone last night
The people on the road come and go, yet they are unable to see him
"Senior Brother, you are not capable at all, too poor, too poor, too poor!" She pressed on relentlessly, the swirling sword flowers forcing Ji Yi, the sect leader and senior brother, to retreat repeatedly
So where does the equality of all beings come from
Ji Yi was somewhat at a loss
He stared blankly at the ceiling, reminiscing about his master's caring smile. Although his master had passed away more than six months ago, he had never forgotten her smile
The Celestial Luan Sage would not voluntarily disclose such matters, but the prestigious sect of the Zhaoxuan Dynasty, with its numerous disciples, inevitably leads to a multitude of voices and opinions
Ranked third, naturally, is the last one.
The spirit returns to the body, and a wave of fatigue follows, leaving one feeling sore all over, as if about to fall apart
Outer disciples of the cultivation sect cannot simply enter at will; they must undergo multiple rounds of selection.
Xianhua Peak is the place where he grew up, and it is also the shared homeland left to him by his master
He saw four young practitioners carrying large and small bags of food, chatting and laughing as they walked down the street
Only a very few exceptional individuals can enter the vortex realm
Thirty years on the east bank of the river, thirty years on the west bank; do not underestimate the master just because he is poor. Ji Yi snorted, "One day, the Sword Pavilion will flourish in my hands, and the entire Golden Court's Six Sects will take the Sword Pavilion as their leader. You just wait and see!"
Upon entering the inn, one could see a young man sitting cross-legged on the bed, his internal aura rather dim, not much better than that of the outer disciples.
Do not think that the凝元境 is merely the entry point to the path of immortality
Senior Brother, this is not acceptable! Qi Shitong gathered her sword and placed her left hand on her waist, chuckling as she said, You won't be able to revitalize the Sword Pavilion like this, so it would be better to pass the position of the sect leader to me sooner rather than later
Poor foundation!
Wait a moment, this person looks very familiar... Is this not myself?
In the back mountain, Li Shixiu sat quietly to the side, watching.
Ji Yi raised his hands and rested them behind his head, reminiscing about the past
In this world, it seems that everyone is born with a certain talent for cultivation, yet each person also possesses some flaws
In theory, everyone is qualified to pursue immortality through cultivation
Your news is indeed quite well-informed!" Ji Yi merely smiled.
Moreover, she is inherently arrogant and has unknowingly offended countless people in her daily life; at this moment, it is unclear how many are watching her make a fool of herself
Ji Yi felt a warm sensation in his heart, and he smiled as he said: "I know! No matter what, we will definitely be able to defend Xianhua Peak and protect our Xuánjī Sword Pavilion"
Li Shixiu hurriedly said: "Senior Brother Zhangmen, I, I am not saying that we cannot do it, I just, I just..."
