Chapter 639: Chapter 639

Ji Jingqiu was multitasking; on one hand, he was casually chatting and discussing Martial Arts with Ke Pingluan, and on the other, he was communicating with Tianqingzi through Spirit Communication.

This method of communication was extremely covert, especially since Ji Jingqiu had already achieved Heart Proving Fetal Breathing, and even a Heavenly Person could not intercept their conversation without his notice.

"Heavenly Saint Lake is a True Saint Dojo, with two True Saints stationed there. Brother Ji, although you have killed Lord Tianyang’s junior, if you wish, I am willing to introduce you to join the other sect. At that time, you might even have the chance to vie for the inheritance of the Supreme Method, for only with the Supreme Method is transcendence possible!"

"What level of strength does a True Saint possess? Eighth Realm or Ninth Realm?" Ji Jingqiu inquired.

"Brother Ji, you probably haven’t come into contact with this level yet. Starting from Heavenly Person Three Calamities and Heavenly King’s Five Sufferings, upon reaching Heavenly Venerable, one’s Daoist practice is termed ’calamity.’ Heavenly Venerable, Dao Ancestor, and True Saint are the triple classifications in this domain."

"Starting from the Eighth Realm, one may live as long as the heavens, coexisting with Dao, and Daoist practice is termed ’calamity.’"

"Brother Ji, can you imagine the difference between a strong individual who has just entered the Eighth Realm and one who has dwelled in this realm for ten thousand years, surviving countless ’calamities’?"

"Starting from Heavenly Person, they no longer classify by realms because the difference within the same realm can be as vast as a chasm, especially due to the accumulation over time."

Ji Jingqiu agreed with this statement in his heart; those who reached Heavenly Venerable were indeed the strongest individuals whose potential, fortune, and Dao heart... had all reached the pinnacle.

Under such circumstances, the duration of cultivation practice becomes the largest gap that is hard to bridge unless there are unique opportunities and reliance on something else.

For example, his own shocking intelligence.

Ji Jingqiu did not respond to Tianqingzi’s invitation; instead, he managed to learn a lot of information from him.

Tianqingzi did not mind, in his view, given Ji Jingqiu’s exceptional talent, he was destined to come into contact with all the realms of Yanfu.

Building some goodwill now would make it easier to meet in the future.

Who knows, when they meet again one day, Ji Jingqiu might already be far ahead of him, standing high above, and might lend him a hand with little effort.

"Indeed, in the Yanfu realms, quite a few forces are issuing a warrant for your arrest, including two from the True Saint dojos. One is known as ’Yaochi Fairyland,’ and the other is our ’Heavenly Saint Lake.’"

"As I said, as long as Brother Ji genuinely joins, some old grudges can be dispelled at any time." Tianqingzi whispered softly.

Is [Heavenly Saint Lake] because of Lord Tianyang?

Then this [Yaochi Fairyland]...

Ji Jingqiu felt that those powerful individuals should not be so petty as to issue a warrant for him; he guessed it probably also had to do with [Wuwang Mountain].

[Wuwang Mountain] didn’t have anything.

Of course, those people probably wouldn’t believe the truth even if he told them.

"Brother Ji, do you plan on heading to the Western war zone next?" Ke Pingluan’s eyes landed on Ji Jingqiu, with a certain deep meaning hidden within.

"What’s the matter?" Ji Jingqiu turned his head, pondered for a moment, and said, "There are over a dozen martial arts veins in the West; since I’m here, it stands to reason I should visit them all."

In his original plan, it was perfect to travel straight from West 1 District, challenge the dozen martial arts veins, and then go to West 7th District to visit the Qin Family, who was back-to-back with the Ke Family.

By then, under the pretext of paying a visit to Qin Qingjue, he could also learn about the Qin Family’s Heavenly Blade inheritance.

Afterward, from West 7th District, he could take the opportunity to head to North 2 District, which is the territory of the Six Great Families’ Yang Family.

Both Marshal Yang and Marshal Qin’s legacies were related to blades.

The former is the [Obedience to Heaven and Loyalty] Heavenly Blade, and the latter is known as the Unyielding Heroic Blade.

He was very interested in both.

Ke Pingluan fell silent for a moment, then suddenly via Spirit Communication said, "Don’t go for now. The West is quite chaotic at the moment, with various conflicts escalating. In some places, there has even been a consensus reached to prohibit Heavenly Persons from entering. If you go there, you might be hunted."

Ji Jingqiu’s gaze sharpened.

When Ke Pingluan said he might be hunted, it essentially meant he had caught wind of something.

Who would be hunting him?

The scheming Moro Sect and Four Demon Followers?

Or... members of the Six Great Families?

"You are Marshal He’s successor."

Ke Pingluan said only that.

Ji Jingqiu reflected thoughtfully.

He quickly stopped dwelling on this matter, his expression serene.

He had already broken free from four Chains and was starting to forge his Bodhi Golden Body. Once he progressed further, who could stand as his enemy below Heavenly Person?

Ji Jingqiu then began exchanging martial arts insights with Ke Pingluan.

"I really have advanced further in inheriting the legacy of my ancestors, the so-called Void..."

Guests attending the banquet arrived one after another, most of them acquaintances, greeting each other and conversing quietly.

The banquet hall was bustling.

"Hey, the Heavenly Sword Dojo’s pre-predecessor Daoist is here too. He made it into the top 100 of the Hidden Dragon List a few years ago."

"The seventeenth on the Hidden Dragon List, Sea Fall Palm Zhang Haixin! Didn’t he go on the Heavenly Road?"

"You don’t know? Many Martial Artists from the Heavenly Road have already returned; the situation at the front has changed."

"Heh, no wonder even martial artists from All Realms are now sitting high and mightily at the Ke family’s noble seats."

As the number of banquet guests steadily increased, some people’s gaze fell on the upper seats where Tianqingzi and others sat, carrying distinct scrutinizing intentions.

Tianqingzi and colleagues remained very calm, not minding the gazes bestowed upon them.

Among the visiting Martial Artists, there had already appeared

Ji Jingqiu occasionally turned his head and glanced at those strong individuals who ranked high on the Hidden Dragon List.

The Federation’s martial arts-related Divine Skill List was the first list Ji Jingqiu saw.

The Heavenly Person and Hidden Dragon Lists, one recording above Heavenly Person and the other below, nearly encompassing all the renowned strong individuals of the Federation.
