Chapter 641: Chapter 641

For the latter, this was just part of their "job," yet they were surpassed by the quietly revealed essence of the Ke family.

Six Great Families...

The minds of the warriors from various families slightly sank, and then quickly shifted their thoughts, focusing on the fine wine, lifting their glasses:

"To the hospitality of the Ke family!"

Everyone drank together, Ji Jingqiu lifted his glass and drank, the azure liquid flowing down his throat was neither burning nor harsh, but mellow and rich, with an exotic aroma lingering after each sip.

Soon, a warm sensation spread from his stomach to his entire body, nourishing his physique.

Ji Jingqiu inwardly praised, yet again "Green Lotus," Marshal Ke truly took up the challenge with Qinglian Mountain.

The crowd lifted their glasses to drink together, quietly waiting for the moon to reach its zenith and the flowers to bloom.

Ji Jingqiu and Ke Pingluan drank together, with other warriors occasionally coming over to toast, even Tianqingzi proactively came forward to offer his respects with a drink.

After three rounds of drinks, Ji Jingqiu filled his belly with the Ke family’s delicacies.

The center of the banquet, that Strange Flower, shone brightly, even causing a rain of light around it!

This sacred scene instantly made everyone return to their seats, quietly awaiting the blooming.

Ke Pingluan casually introduced:

"This flower is also known as ’Tong You.’ In ancient times, ’You’ referred to Cave Heaven Blessed Land, that is, dimensions, planes."

"My ancestors from the Ke family once relied on this Strange Flower to Divine Travel through All Realms, covertly learning from various families, thereby establishing the foundation for Martial Arts."

Ji Jingqiu had heard that unlike Marshal He and others, Marshal Ke did not enter Emperor Heaven Nine States in his youth but used this Strange Flower to Divine Travel through All Realms.

The connections the Ke family has in All Realms today are mostly remnants of Marshal Ke’s past, how much is left, is actually hard to say.

As the Strange Flower’s brilliance became increasingly fierce, it almost turned into a moon on the ground.

It slowly unfolded, spreading the essence and Dharma it contained, enveloping everyone at the banquet within it.

Soon, some warriors felt inspired and fell into Enlightenment.

Ke Pingluan also closed his eyes; this wasn’t his first time "appreciating the flower," and he smoothly entered the mode of comprehension.

Ji Jingqiu attentively felt this unique essence and was about to immerse himself when he suddenly sensed a very special kind of spirit-like frequency fluctuation from the "depths" of this Strange Flower, linking to the depths of the Void.

Curiosity overcame him, and he tried to connect with it spiritually, only to see the "other side" of this Strange Flower!

It was a huge divine flower blooming in the center of the world, rooted in old broken soil, its heart like a divine platform, where a humanoid creature was sitting cross-legged, emitting a faint glow that made it hard to discern, sacred and majestic, filled with indescribable essence.

Suddenly, the humanoid creature sitting in the heart of the flower opened its eyes and looked at him, its gaze cold, carrying an aura of supreme authority.

The moment their gazes met, Ji Jingqiu violently leaned back in reality, his eyes tightly shut, with blood streaming from his nose.

This scene made the attendants around him tense.

Not far, the older generation of the Ke family, noticing what was happening here, couldn’t help but show surprise.

This Strange Flower not only had the ability to Tong You; the essence it inadvertently emitted during blooming enabled warriors below Heavenly Person to perceive and aid in Enlightenment.

This flower, along with the Green Lotus Tablet, was akin to a unique adventure for warriors below Heavenly Person, and an excellent way to comprehensively assess their comprehension.

Had Ji Jingqiu suffered a spiritual backlash? Or was there a mistake in his Enlightenment?

This was somewhat unexpected to them.

Could it be that Ji Jingqiu was not outstanding in comprehension...

Ji Jingqiu was calming the tearing sensation at the spiritual level, experiencing, for the first time in his life, a setback in the Spirit Domain.

He was shocked in his heart. What was that just now?

After he recovered, his feelings were heavy, and his killing intent was surging.

He hadn’t anticipated that "appreciating the flower" could be attacked spiritually due to negligence.

"No local gang respects the martial code!"

He stayed vigilant within, stirred his Inner World, and captured that mysterious spiritual frequency again, then went on the attack!

Indeed, it was a broken world; as he entered, lightning flashed and thunder roared, dark red lightning snaked menacingly across the sky canopy, the powerful Spirit God impact locking onto him immediately, trying to drive him out.

Ji Jingqiu instantly invoked his Inner Realm, his spirit sitting in the Void, drawing a thread of Bitter Sea Water.

Amid a scream at the spiritual level, Ji Jingqiu was driven out of this broken world once again.

However, this time, he wasn’t harmed, fully prepared with defenses.

In this world, he opened his eyes, his eyes shining brightly and as expected, the opponent was heavily frustrated.

"Uh?! Where did the Strange Flowers go? How did they vanish so quickly and hide away in another world!"

"Alas... Why did it bloom so briefly this time?"

Soon, some people noticed the anomaly, including the Heavenly Person of the Ke family who appeared with a frown and after checking, found no anomalies and attributed it to the Strange Flowers being "unwell."

This caused some of the martial artists present, who had not yet fallen into martial enlightenment, to look worried.

Ji Jingqiu lowered his eyebrows, this matter seemed to be related to him, but he couldn’t be entirely blamed.

He certainly had issues, but weren’t there problems with the Strange Flowers as well?

Thinking this, Ji Jingqiu’s expression became solemn; these Strange Flowers were not just problematic in a simple way.

Hidden within another world, they concealed great secrets!

Ji Jingqiu pondered for a moment, then contacted Lady La and told her what had just happened.

It was then that Hel realized; this guy suddenly went mad, actually invoking the Bitter Sea Water.

[Dream Night-blooming Cereus, hidden in another world’s dimension...]

Lady La muttered to herself, searching her memory for related information.

[Blooming every now and then in the Great Universe... heh, this is adapting in advance for the return. As expected, it must be some Nirvana-level powerhouse.]

[Pity that this time when he went out, he didn’t check the almanac and met you, a disaster star.]

Ji Jingqiu, dissatisfied, retorted, "What do you mean by a disaster star? You’re the one constantly pushing me to sign contracts with disaster stars?"

[Ke Qingxiu probably knew as well, if you could sense it, he had no reason not to notice the anomaly back then.]

Ji Jingqiu nodded, he felt the same, but wondered what "deal" had been reached between them.

He sighed softly, the Six Great Families really did hide many secrets.

Immediately after, he felt regret; curiosity made him miss an opportunity for enlightenment.

However, it was okay, as the Ke family would still bring out the [Green Lotus Tablet].

As the martial artists who had fallen into deep enlightenment gradually returned, Ke Tianjin appeared again, smiling and revealing the "surprise" of this banquet to everyone,

At the same time, he cast a meaningful glance towards Ji Jingqiu.

Subsequently, Ke Tianjin brought out a square, ancient, and weathered wordless stone tablet.

On the tablet, there was nothing, and it was unclear why it was named after the green lotus.

"The Green Lotus Tablet of the Ke family? Are they really willing to offer it for our enlightenment?"

Martial artists from various sects, including those from the other Six Great Families, all murmured in whispers.

Even among the Six Great Families, this Green Lotus Tablet was considered a treasure and part of their "foundation."

Those aware of some insider information, like Tianqingzi, had particularly bright eyes.

This item was a cherished treasure from Qinglian Mountain in the past, which once ranked among the Ten Directions Sects but had fallen ten thousand years ago after being attacked by multiple factions.

This precious treasure was then seized by an ancestor of the Ke family who had stealthily learned their techniques.

It was said that the reason Qinglian Mountain was besieged by various factions was because of that very ancestor of the Ke family.

"This object, left by our ancestor, can help one achieve a Perfect Mental Realm and take a critical step in Spiritual Cultivation. With enough accumulation, one might even integrate their own Martial Arts to create Divine Skills and Heavenly Skills."

Ke Pingluan spoke calmly, what others saw as a treasure, the Green Lotus Tablet, he used to sleep with as a child.

"However, this item is not for everyone; it requires a ’fateful person’, demanding certain insight from martial artists, simply put, it doesn’t help fools."

"Brother Ji, you can try to interact with the tablet spiritually; if you feel a response, it proves that you ’have a fate’ with it, and you can use it for your cultivation."

Ke Pingluan smiled and said, "Brother Ji, would you like to give it a try?"

Ji Jingqiu nodded slightly and said, "I actually have no special talents; it’s just that my ability to comprehend is quite advanced."

Ke Pingluan fell silent; in fact, the reason they brought out the Green Lotus Tablet was because some people in the Ke family wanted to see just how far Ji Jingqiu could go.

If he truly demonstrated astonishing brilliance...

It might even affect some of the disputes within the Ke family.
