Chapter 352: Third Slash Realm

Seeing Elder Liu had already walked far away, Ji Yang did not linger and turned to head back to the peak.

He had many things to do!

“Senior Brother Ji?”

Just as Ji Yang was about to leave, he heard a familiar voice behind him.

Ji Yang turned to see that it was none other than Wuzhen, who called himself in the Second Slash Realm!

“Senior Brother Ji, it’s really you!”

Wuzhen’s face displayed excitement and eagerness.

After he received news about Ji Yang returning to the sect yesterday, he hurried over, hoping to break through to the Third Slash Realm as soon as possible!

His cultivation had already reached the Tenth Level of Qi Refinement.

With the boost from his previous two swords, he had confidence in breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage!

However, Wuzhen had not yet made the breakthrough; instead, he had stabilized his realm because he was still focused on Ji Yang’s sword.

He wanted to break through the Third Slash Realm!

He aimed to eliminate all the flaws of the Qi Refinement stage before again breaking through to the early stage of Foundation Establishment!

Seeing Wuzhen’s excitement, Ji Yang understood his thoughts.

This was something they had already agreed upon, so Ji Yang had no intention of going back on his word. He could see that Wuzhen was at the peak of the Tenth Level, and thus the third sword would not be in vain.

“Junior Brother, are you ready?”

Ji Yang asked with a smile.

Wuzhen nodded excitedly:

“Senior Brother, I’m ready!”

“Good, Junior Brother, receive the sword!”

Ji Yang activated the Heart Sword divine ability once more, and with a flick of his finger, an invisible sword energy slashed toward Wuzhen’s remaining flaw!

Once struck, Wuzhen, who had originally wielded the momentum of the Tenth Level, began to sway, and the next moment, he fell to the Ninth Level of Qi Refinement.

But in just a fleeting moment, Wuzhen’s realm restored back to the Tenth Level!

At that moment, Wuzhen immersed himself fully in the recent sword strike, carefully pondering over the flaw that remained.

After a long time, Wuzhen’s momentum surged, the original Tenth Level of Qi Refinement disappeared, and he managed to break through to the early stage of Foundation Establishment without using a Foundation Establishment Pill!

When he came back to his senses, Ji Yang had already vanished.

Around him stood many other disciples with envious expressions!

“Thank you, Senior Brother Ji, for your assistance!”

Although Ji Yang was no longer present, Wuzhen still bowed respectfully.

Passing on knowledge and teaching is a teacher’s duty, and what Senior Brother Ji was able to achieve was enough to earn his admiration!

“Congratulations, Senior Brother Wuzhen, for entering the inner sect!”

“Congratulations, Senior Brother Wuzhen, on breaking through to the Third Slash Realm！”

A disciple from the crowd praised him.

Wuzhen smiled and nodded; he found the Third Slash Realm more impressive than just entering the inner sect.

In a corner where no one was paying attention, another disciple quietly left, murmuring:

“What a useless failure, even at the Nascent Soul Stage! Do I really have to act myself? But the sect hasn’t issued any orders recently.”

As the crowd dispersed, Ji Yang had already returned to the peak. However, the news of Ji Yang striking an outer disciple into the inner sect spread once more.

When Ji Yang returned to Jingtan Peak, he saw Ren Yuning observing his spiritual field.

This surprised Ji Yang for a moment; didn’t he instruct the Golden Valiant Warrior to keep an eye on her? How did she manage to come out?

But seeing that Ren Yuning showed no signs of fleeing, Ji Yang understood.

She must have realized she couldn’t escape and gave up.

That was fine; it saved him from having to be forceful.

At this moment, Ren Yuning spotted Ji Yang in the sky. Upon seeing him, she gritted her teeth, and anger ignited in her eyes!

If it weren’t for Ji Yang’s deception, how could she be here in the He Dao Sect!

But then Ren Yuning turned away, choosing to ignore him!

Just then, she had also realized, given her status, the He Dao Sect wouldn’t dare do anything drastic, and she was not a key figure of the Heaven Demon Sect whose capture would decide the outcome between the two sects.

On the contrary, her status was significant, and the He Dao Sect would certainly not act lightly, meaning she was temporarily safe from danger.

With that in mind, she might as well treat this as a fun visit!

Adopting this attitude, Ren Yuning felt much more at ease!

But she thought to herself, once she returned to the sect, she would rise again and make Ji Yang pay!

Seeing Ren Yuning ignore him, Ji Yang felt free. As long as she didn’t damage his spiritual plants and spiritual field, she could run around; she surely couldn’t escape the He Dao Sect.

However, Ji Yang did not rush to the peak but began to search for wood.

He needed to rebuild the two wooden houses for Ye Wuchen.

But now, from a distance, all Ji Yang could see on Jingtan Peak were spiritual grains; there wasn’t a single piece of wood or even a few large stones in sight.

He shook his head in frustration.

Practitioners couldn’t just create things out of thin air!

If it came to that, he could throw together a couple of stone houses to manage.

But thinking of the expression on Ye Wuchen’s face when he saw the stone houses, he decided against it.

Sigh.

The joy he felt when demolishing them was now matched by his current mood of discontent.

Just as Ji Yang prepared to find a spot for some wood, he noticed a figure quickly approaching him from a distance.

Upon seeing the person, Ji Yang’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Elder Tai?”

The elder who managed Feng Ling Valley; all three types of spiritual grains he grew came from him. Although he had felt ungrateful for leaving the Feng Ling Valley early, he had to admit those grains had helped him a lot.

But why was Elder Tai coming to Jingtan Peak? Was he looking for the Master?

Ji Yang speculated.

Before he could think further, he saw Elder Tai heading straight for him, which amazed Ji Yang, but he stopped to wait.

When Elder Tai landed, he quickly approached Ji Yang, and upon seeing the spiritual grains on the peak, he wore a look of astonishment.

This Ji disciple seems to really enjoy growing spiritual grains!

After a brief moment of surprise, Elder Tai turned his attention to Ren Yuning, his eyes reflecting a hint of delight, before addressing Ji Yang:

“Oh, Ji disciple, I finally found you!”

Hearing this, Ji Yang was puzzled and asked,

“Elder Tai, is there something important you need from me?”

In response to Ji Yang’s question, Elder Tai sighed before explaining,

“Actually, I must confess, I came to find you because I wanted to ask you for a favor, Ji disciple!”

Ji Yang’s surprise deepened; Elder Tai was a powerful elder—what could he possibly need help with from him?

Was it about the spiritual grains? Or the spiritual plants?

After all, Elder Tai was also an Alchemist from Qiyun Peak, skilled in growing spiritual grains, and he surely knew how to refine pills as well.

Meanwhile, Ren Yuning, seeing an elder approaching Ji Yang, not only didn’t leave but stepped a little closer.

She was eager to hear what the two would discuss.

Since the situation was already what it was, it couldn’t get much worse!

Why not take this opportunity to eavesdrop on the secrets of the He Dao Sect?

At that moment, as an elder, and with his hurried demeanor, he was definitely here to discuss major sect matters.

But Ren Yuning was still confused as to why he would seek out Ji Yang instead of Ye Wuchen, the Peak Master of Jingtan Peak.

Unfortunately, she didn’t enjoy such treatment in the sect, nor had any elder sought her out!
