The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 52 Emerging
In the Dao Discussion Hall.

"He actually lost!"

Beishan Xuan Tang looked grim. Even though the Thousand Sword Puppet had long been taken back by Ji Xiaoshan, the terrifying sword intent still remained in his mind, and he could not forget it for a long time.

It was an ultimate sword that encompassed everything. At least for now, it was difficult for him, who had only realized one realm of Tao, to resist.

"If it is... my two paths." Beishan Xuan Tang felt the two paths he had realized. They were two paths that were just a little bit away from realizing the realm of Tao.

He kept a little hope in his heart, "Then maybe my Five Qi Grasping Technique will be able to block that sword!"

"Senior Brother Xuan Tang, thank you for letting me win!" Ji Xiaoshan said loudly.

"Huh?! Junior Brother Qingping is joking." Ji Xiaoshan's voice made Beishan Xuan Tang sober up quickly, and the smile that remained on the corner of his mouth became even more bitter.

Beishan Xuantang felt somewhat unwilling in his heart. He fought his way out from among countless disciples of the Beishan clan's side branches, and finally stood out and was successfully admitted to the Black and White Academy. Naturally, he had a sense of persistence in his heart.

But Junior Brother Qingping has realized a great way at such a young age. Even if I can comprehend some minor ways, is there still hope? Is there really such a big difference between a minor way and a great way?
"Qing Ping, wins!" The old man in white shouted, announcing the result of the battle. He then removed the sealing formation on the stage.

When the old man in white announced the result, all the disciples in the Discussion Hall fell silent.

Ji Xiaoshan's sword, which was filled with majestic sword intent, was witnessed by all the disciples present, but no one was sure they could take it.

"Is this the true meaning of the way of the sword?" Senior Brother Niu murmured. He has only just now comprehended two ways to reach the realm of the Tao, but still feels that comprehending a great Tao is a long way off.

"The great way is within sight but out of reach. If one could comprehend a little bit of it..." A disciple said with a look of longing.

"Junior brother, you'd better be down-to-earth. Everyone knows that the Great Dao is extremely powerful, but among the many disciples in my Black and White Academy, only a few can comprehend the Great Dao." An older disciple advised that the Great Dao is powerful, and if one can comprehend a little bit of it, it will be extremely beneficial for the future.

Similar words were on the lips of the disciples of the Black and White Academy almost everywhere in the hall.

……

Ji Xiaoshan nodded to Beishan Xuantang on the opposite stone pillar, and then released the control of the Thousand Swords Puppet. He tiptoed and landed on the old man in white.

"This is the prize for this discussion!" The old man in white handed over two jade bottles and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, senior." Ji Xiaoshan put the jade bottle into his pocket, looked around at the disciples in the Dao Discussion Hall, and said loudly, "My fellow disciples, is there anyone who wants to discuss Dao with me today?"

Senior Brother Niu glanced at Ji Xiaoshan after hearing this. "This Junior Brother Qingping, in addition to reaching the Dao Realm, has also comprehended a great Dao. With this fighting power, I'm afraid today will not end well..."

He felt helpless. Beishan Xuantang had been defeated, and none of the disciples present seemed to be able to guarantee a win against Junior Brother Qingping, even he himself seemed to be almost there.

If these old disciples who participated in the discussion today were ordinary people, they would not lose so badly in this discussion prepared for new disciples.

But if this new disciple was Junior Brother Qingping, even if he reluctantly went on stage to compete with him, it would be a joke if he lost.

"If not, Junior Brother, I have gained something from the discussion today, and I will go back to consolidate it!" Seeing that none of the disciples in the hall responded, Ji Xiaoshan smiled faintly.

"Junior brother, please go ahead!" Senior Brother Niu walked forward with a smile on his face.

In the world of immortal cultivators, strength is respected. A powerful immortal cultivator will be respected everywhere, let alone among his fellow disciples.

"Today, Junior Brother Qingping has made his debut in the Discussion Hall, but now that the battle has come to this, those disciples with more seniority will not give up. Junior Brother needs to prepare early." Senior Brother Niu said.

"Thank you for your advice, senior brother." Ji Xiaoshan nodded lightly.

Won't give up? Since he came to the Dao Discussion Hall, he was naturally mentally prepared.

Even those extremely powerful old disciples, even if they lost, could sum up their gains and losses and catch up. It was just a few black and white pills and essence liquid.

He also wanted to see the skills of his old disciples. Only by comparing their strengths together could they measure each other's strengths.

…A streak of light flashed across the sky, and the figure of a young man in a black robe was flying towards a mountain like a fairy sword drawn from its sheath.

"Junior brother, your performance in the discussion today was truly remarkable." A figure riding a lotus magic weapon came galloping from behind and caught up with the young man in black robe.

"Senior Sister Jiulian." Ji Xiaoshan looked back.

“Sister, you didn’t come here to talk about these things, did you? Everything that happened in the Dao Hall was entirely thanks to the mercy shown by my senior brothers. If there was a real fight between cultivators, I might not be their match.” Ji Xiaoshan said modestly.

"From what I know about Junior Brother during these few encounters, I know he is not as humble as he says." Jiulian smiled and said, "I followed you just to remind you that Junior Brother Feng Qi's strength is nothing. Beishan Xuantang is only considered good among the disciples at the Purple Mansion level. There are some extremely evil geniuses among the third generation disciples..."

"Even if Junior Brother has realized the way of the sword, his training time is still short after all."

"Thank you for your reminder, Senior Sister. If nothing else, I will leave first." Ji Xiaoshan looked at Jiulian in surprise. Such a warning should not come from Jiulian, an old disciple. After all, when Jiulian came here, she had already said something superficial.

He always felt that Jiulian's attitude towards him was a little strange, especially after he revealed his talent in swordsmanship.

But based on his experience in his previous life, Senior Sister Jiulian did not have any romantic intentions towards him.

Ji Xiaoshan's mind was clear. If it was really as he guessed, he had no intention of getting in-depth involved in any of the items.

"Yes. I'm glad that you understand, Junior Brother." Jiulian nodded.

The two of them said nothing and flew back to their caves.

……

Xiaoyaozizai Peak, by the lake.

A young man in black sat under a tree, lost in thought.

"Although we won the battle of Dao today, we also exposed many shortcomings. For example, although the Dao of Sword Song has reached the level of Dao Realm, it is difficult to integrate it into the Lingxiao Sword Canon."

"Although this Lingxiao Sword Canon is all-encompassing, the sword moves here shouldn't be so dazzling. Although the overwhelming sword energy looks terrifying, in fact, the power is dispersed and is not as powerful as when it is condensed at one point..."

Ji Xiaoshan recalled everything that had happened during the discussion and pondered over the gains and losses.

During the discussion with Beishan Xuan Tang, some weaknesses in fighting were not yet obvious, but he had already vaguely sensed them.

"This sword should be delivered like this... No, it should be like this..."

Under the shade of the trees, Ji Xiaoshan thrust the sword in his hand out again and again, and he noticed the stagnation the moment the sword was thrust out.

He constantly adjusted the angle of his sword, controlling the power of his sword.

a long time.

呲!
A flash of sword light flashed with a cold gleam. This sword had no overwhelming sword energy, no majestic and terrifying sword intent attached to it. It was just the most ordinary and simple sword!

"Let's go find Master! Ask him about the Dao of Sword Song and the results of the Black and White Sutra. It's not comfortable to have a Pure Yang Qi training method there but not be able to practice it." Ji Xiaoshan's voice fell lightly, and his figure disappeared on the spot.

In the void, an imperceptible crack slowly healed...
