Chapter 12: Mutation Sincere Recommendation Vote
"Auntie!"
Ji Changkong let out a low growl, his whole body trembling, his eyes turning bright red, and he could no longer control the shock and panic in his heart.
The bag of yuan stones that Ji Wanyun used to throw and ask for directions, although it was her many years of savings, was not considered precious, and temporarily had no use for her cultivation.
However, the Flame Origin Pearl was entirely different. This one, given by Nie Yuanshan, was a very rare and precious origin stone, far exceeding the value of the entire bag of origin stones that Ji Wanyan had just sent out!
The most important thing is that the Flame Origin Pearl can enhance her communication with the Holy Beast Zhuque, allowing her to quickly break through in the Four Symbol Realm! Those origin stones are temporarily useless to her, but the Flame Origin Pearl can allow her to save a lot of effort when cultivating!
It's such a precious treasure for her, and yet Ji Yuanyun is going to give it away again as the door-opening gift for his apprenticeship. How can Ji Changkong just watch as Ji Yuanyun sacrifices so much for him?
After a low growl, Ji Changkong didn't care about Ji Yuanyun's hinting gaze and struggled to snatch the Flame Origin Pearl into his own hands.
Ji Yuanyun tightly grasped Ji Changkong's wrist, seeing that he wouldn't listen to persuasion no matter what, and with anxiety burning in her heart, she could only secretly mobilize her yuanqi.
A gentle yet tenacious yuan force suddenly drilled into Jialongkong's body from her palm.
It was just a moment, and Ji Changkong, who had been struggling desperately just now, suddenly became honest. Not only could his body not move, but he couldn't even speak, and could only stare at Ji Yuanyun with red eyes, constantly using his eyes to signal her not to do so.
Ji Wanyun endured the pain and didn't go to see him, turning her head to look at the old mother of Wu Mountain when she had already piled up a smile on her face again. She respectfully handed over the Flame Origin Pearl, trying to lower her posture as much as possible, saying: "This child is still young and doesn't understand things very well, I hope the old mother won't treat him with the same courtesy. Hmm, this Flame Origin Pearl isn't enough to show respect, please be sure to accept it, old mother!"
"Hmm..."
The old mother of Wushan frowned and nodded her head, saying to the middle-aged man in blue clothes beside her: "Lu Yun, put things away."
The middle-aged man who called Lu Yun took a step forward and picked up the Flame Origin Pearl, then stood behind Lao Mu of Wushan Mountain again.
"I must make it clear who you are before accepting you as my disciple. Since you can take out the Flame Origin Pearl, you shouldn't be from an ordinary family either." The old mother of Wushan stroked the snake head on her staff and said indifferently to Ji Yunyun: "Alright, tell me about your background."
"We are from the foot of Qingyan Mountain, the Ji family. My nephew is only seventeen years old and his name is Ji Changkong..." Ji Yuanyun said hastily with a delighted expression.
"Qingyan Mountain's Ji family..." Before Ji Wanyun could finish, the old mother of Wushan's face changed slightly, and she suddenly sneered: "But isn't it that every five or six hundred years, a 'Xuanyuan' will emerge from the Ji family?"
Ji Wanyun's expression changed, and she saw that the old mother of Wu Mountain had suddenly become very angry. She felt that something was wrong, but still nodded her head stiffly. Seeing that the old mother's face looked even more unpleasant, Ji Wanyun's heart was filled with anxiety, and she hastily said: "The so-called 'Xuanyuan legend' of the Ji family has long been extinct, six hundred years have passed, and there is still no new 'Xuanyuan bloodline' born, so old mother doesn't need to worry, we..."
"No need to say more!" Wu Shan Old Mother suddenly interrupted Ji Yunyun's next words, turned around and walked towards the elegant small building behind her, with her back facing Ji Yunyun, coldly saying: "Lu Yun, send the guest away, I absolutely will not accept a son of the Ji family as an apprentice!"
"Mother......" Ji Wanyun was at a loss for words, her face panicked as she tried to say something.
"Both of you, please leave." Lu Yun furrowed his brow and stepped in front of Ji Yuanyun, saying impatiently: "In the past, your family's previous generation 'Xuanyuan' went to several islands in the Eastern Sea, stirring up a bloody storm. I don't know how many secrets, techniques, divine soldiers, and yuan stones were stolen from the Eastern Sea... Although it has been hundreds of years since then, your family is no longer as prosperous as it once was. However, this grudge is not so easily forgotten. Today, on account of the Huoyan Yuanzhu, I won't take action to drive you away. Don't be ungrateful!" By the end of his words, Lu Yun's face was filled with cold sternness.
"But... " Ji Wanyun was at a loss for words, really didn't know what to say to reverse this tragic outcome.
She understood how much Ji Changkong expected from the trip to Wushan, and she also knew how eager he was to have a Yuan force from Lao Mu of Wushan to cultivate Tian Shi. For Ji Changkong, she had already taken out everything valuable on her body, and this rejected result was not only unacceptable for Ji Changkong, but also unbearable for her!
"Lu Yun, in a moment they won't leave Wushan, I'll have them driven out!" Suddenly came the stern shout of Old Mother Wushan from within that elegant little building.
"Hurry up and get down the mountain, or else don't blame me for being ruthless!" Lu Yun heard Wu Shan Old Mother's stern warning, his face changed in an instant, and a wisp of golden light emanated from his body, as if Ji Wan Yun would take action immediately if he didn't comply.
……
Ji Wanyun's eyes were about to spew fire, glaring at Lu Yun with hatred. After staring for a while, Ji Wanyun endured the raging flames and grabbed Ji Changkong, turning around in anger and returning along the original path.
Rumble!
A loud thunder suddenly exploded in the air, and a blinding flash of lightning slithered like a dragon snake through the dark clouds. "Rustling" raindrops fell from the sky, heavily pounding on Ji Wan Yun and Ji Chang Kong's bodies...
The night shrouded the earth, under the flashes of lightning and thunder, Ji Wanyun was almost dragging Ji Changkong, with a heart full of sorrow, step by step on the slippery mountain road in the pouring rain.
It wasn't until late at night that the two finally returned to the big tree where their horses were tied.
"Long sky... long sky... why don't you say something..." Ji Wanyun's eyes were red, tears and rainwater mixed together, she shook Ji Changkong hard, her face full of despair. Her whole body was drenched in the heavy rain, her long hair was wet and stuck to her cheeks, extremely disheveled.
Since leaving the martial arts arena, Ji Wanyun had removed the seal on his Yuan power. Ji Changkong's eyes turned crimson, and he gritted his teeth in silence. No matter what Ji Wanyun said, he didn't utter a word, exuding an aura of inexplicable sorrow, indignation, stubbornness, and helplessness that pained Ji Wanyun's heart...
"Changkong, don't scare me like that, say something to me......" Ignoring the heavy rain, Ji Wanyun desperately shook Ji Changkong, trying to pull him out of this strange state.
Ji Changkong remained silent, still and unmoving under Ji Wanyun's shaking. Later on, he even closed his eyes, sitting cross-legged in silence on the muddy wet ground, repeatedly gathering his internal energy, suffering to the extreme of fainting...
As Ji Changkong gathered the yuan force again and again, he fainted again and again. His face turned paler and paler, his body weaker and weaker, giving people a feeling of being on the verge of death, as if he might not wake up again at any moment...
"Stop it... just stop it... you're going to kill yourself..." Ji Wanyun cried tears of rain, sobbing in a low voice, trying to stop Ji Changkong from torturing himself so mercilessly.
However, Ji Changkong was like a fool, seemingly completely unaware that there was a sobbing Ji Wanyun beside him. As long as he woke up from his coma and still had a breath of life in him, he would desperately continue to gather yuan energy, not caring if he would sink into eternal slumber in the next coma...
"Vast sky... don't be like this... there's still hope... there's still hope..." Ji Wenyun's hair was disheveled, her face filled with panic and helplessness, dazed and numb, shaking him as if she had lost her senses.
……
Once again waking up from a coma, Ji Changkong felt that his body had reached its limit. He felt that if he tried once more, it was very likely that he would truly sink into eternal slumber, completely leaving this world that brought him both pain and love.
He glanced at Ji Yuanyun who was numb and dull, and the pain in Ji Changkong's heart filled his chest tenfold.
I'm dead, I've died, Auntie won't have to worry about me anymore...
With great difficulty, Ji Changkong took a deep breath, faced death straight on, closed his eyes once more, and desperately gathered the primordial energy of heaven and earth.
Enduring the flesh-cutting pain, feeling the heart-wrenching sorrow, Ji Changkong had reached the last checkpoint between life and death. Dazed and confused, he forgot about death, forgot about the Ji family... even forgot about himself!
At this moment, Ji Changkong faced death calmly and fearlessly, unafraid of all sorrow!
In the instant before death arrived, Ji Changkong's entire body began to shake violently, a heart-wrenching pain suddenly spreading from his chest throughout his whole body...
In a daze, Ji Changkong seemed to hear a crisp shattering sound that suddenly came from above his lower abdomen.
……
Next moment.
The enormous heavenly yuan force that was too great for Ji Chang to imagine, with that point as the center, suddenly spread throughout his entire body with a momentum that could destroy withered trees and dry wood. Wherever the enormous heavenly yuan force passed through, all of his meridians, flesh, five viscera, six entrails, bones, were all boiling, burning, roaring...
On the brink of death, Ji Changkong suddenly burst forth with a powerful life force that left people speechless!
It was as if, in that instant, a ferocious beast that had been imprisoned for billions of years suddenly awakened within Ji Chang's body...
Ji Changkong suddenly opened her eyes, which shone like stars, with a dazzling light that seemed to turn the darkness into daylight.
At this moment.
The sky is no longer the same sky, the earth is no longer the same earth.
