Big Bodhi - Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Palm Turning and Spirit Taking

For the first time, Ji Hong’s expression changed as he waved his sleeve and brushed away Ji Luoyan’s sword, closing his eyes slightly as his Profound Energy flowed around, sensing with all his might the heart fire shadow slowly manifesting within Ji Xi Xue’s divine Palace acupuncture point.

The fire of the heart is attached to the soul. Once it really burns, it will manifest a flame phantom in the large cave of the temple of the eyebrow. Through which it absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, sun and moon, and refines it into profound power, which is the fundamental of a living being’s cultivation.

Ji Luoyan was also stunned in place, and a trace of regret surged up in his heart.

Although he had some sympathy for Ji Xi Xue, his beautiful sister, now that he saw that Ji Xi Xue’s heart was on fire, Ji Luoyan could not wait to slap himself several times. If only he had been quicker and killed her, he would not have had such a change of heart.

“Xue, how dare you ……”

Xu Lian’er’s eyes erupted with surprise, hugging Ji Xixue who was kneeling on the ground, murmuring under her breath.

People who ignite their hearts on their own are extremely rare no matter where they are. There are hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in the ancient city of Taichu, but there are only less than a hundred people who ignite their hearts, which is enough to see their rareness.

Ji Hong opened his eyes, took a deep look at Ji Xi Xue on the ground, and said in a deep voice, “The flame is strong and stable, and is very sensitive to the sensation of Profound Qi, it should be the sixth grade of Heart Flame sequence!”

At these words, not only did Xu Lian’er and Li Luoyan freeze in place, even the ten or so elite Ji Clan guards standing behind Ji Hong revealed a look of shock that could not be concealed!

The sixth rank!

“How is this possible? How many seventh rankers are there in the ancient city of Tai Chu today? Not to mention such a rare sixth-grade Heart Flame!” Xu Lian’er hugged Ji Xixue tightly, a look of disbelief still lingering on her face, “That dazzling Grand Duke Ji Yue Nin is the only sixth-grade Heart Flame in the Tai Chu Ancient City in the past few hundred years, and Xixue is even close to him!”

At the age of six, Ji Yue Nian had ignited the sixth-ranked Heart Flame, and was ranked at the beginning of the Profound Realm, breaking into the upper Profound Realm at the age of eight, and at the age of fifteen, he had reached the half-step Realisation Realm, overpowering the bloodline descendants of the major cultivation families.

Although a sixth-ranked Heart Flame was not too rare in the huge Tai Yu Ancient Sect, it was definitely the most dazzling person in the ancient city of Tai Chu!

Ji Hong bent down and helped Ji Xixue up, adjusted his facial expression and said, “Xixue, how do you feel?”

Ji Xixue pursed her lips and fiercely pushed Ji Hong away, raising her teary-eyed face and saying: “Didn’t you want to kill me and my mother? I don’t need you to pretend to be here!”

“Daughter,” Ji Hong’s face sank slightly, “I am your father.”

“How dare you offend the family head?” The fire of cynicism rose up in Ji Luoyan’s heart, and he was so dazed that he drew his sword and slashed at Ji Xixue again!

Snap!

The sword shattered and Ji Luoyan was sent flying more than ten feet away by Ji Hong’s slap, breaking a pillar in the outer room and leaving him dead or alive.

This was because Ji Hong had shown mercy, otherwise, with his cultivation level at the Early Realm, he could have slapped Ji Luoyan to death with one slap.

The ten or so Ji family guards were all silent, watching their noses and not daring to make any more noise.

Ji Hong pulled out a smile and said, “Daughter, now that he is gone, you are my only daughter, so naturally the Ji family should focus on nurturing you, and from now on I will raise you as the true direct line of the family head.

With these words, he glanced at Xu Lian’er seemingly casually, the meaning of which was self-explanatory.

Xu Lian’er was silent for a moment, but with a light sigh, she stepped forward and cupped Ji Xixue’s face, saying softly, “Ji Xixue, now that you have ignited the sixth-grade heart flame, the position given to the Ji family by Lord Hong will definitely belong to you.”

Ji Xixue sobbed, “Mother, he really wanted to kill us just now, he doesn’t regard me as his own daughter!”

“Alas, you have just started a fire in your heart, so you should rest first.” Xu Lian’er gathered Ji Xixue in her arms and raised her head towards Ji Hong, giving him a wink.

Ji Hong nodded and left the room without saying a word, taking the many elite Ji family guards with him.

Xu Lian’er said in a low voice, “Baby, Mother’s original plan was to send you to the Xu family quietly, but now that the heart fire you have ignited is at the sixth rank in the sequence, no one dares to touch it in the Ji family, and the charge of murdering the Grand Duke can no longer be laid on our heads.

Ji Xixue buried her head deep into Xu Lian’er’s arms and couldn’t help but cry out loud.

……

The ancient city of Taichu is one of the nineteen ancient cities under the rule of the Taichu Ancient Sect, and is home to hundreds of thousands of human beings who worship the Taichu Land God.

Ji Yuenian slowly stopped and looked up at the magnificent city wall that was more than twenty feet away, with a translucent black light flowing around in his palm.

As the mountain ghost yin power deposited in the soul is gradually being swallowed and transformed by the psychic karma fire, his cultivation had also been completely refined and consolidated, and he was only one step away from achieving a self-circulating Profound Energy Sea, which was much stronger than the Profound Energy he using now.

The “Manifestation and Secret Myriad Paths of the Immortal Body” was created by a supreme divine ruler who had entered the path of Buddhism, and its various true techniques are all-encompassing, including an extremely basic auxiliary type of protective divine power that requires pure ghostly energy to be refined.

With Ji Yue Nian’s cultivation level at this time, apart from the simplest Qing Yuan Spiritual Curtain, this is the only protective divine ability that can be practised.

Spirit Regenerating Ghost Cloth.

Although this divine ability only requires ordinary ghost power origin to refine, Ji Yue Nian used an extremely rare body ghost origin, and added his own “spiritual ash” to it as never before, giving this auxiliary type of divine ability all sorts of incredible and mysterious changes.

The essence of the body ghosts used to make the Spirit Regulating Ghost Cloak was obtained by exchanging the mountain god statues he had collected from the Desolate Grass Village with the transformed body ghosts.

The most frightening thing about the Spirit Regulating Ghost Garment is that it is a growth-supporting divine ability. Once it has been refined, as long as he finds a ghost power source to refine into it in the future, it will continue to grow in its ability to protect his body, which is also the origin of the word “Spirit Regulating” in it. This is also the origin of the word “spirit” in it.

“The Body of the Manifestation and Secret Myriad Paths of Immortality” is the superbly created genius of the gods and gods, in which the magic is not to be calculated.

With the flick of his long fingers, the translucent black light spread from his arm and in a few moments, a vaguely translucent ghost armour was formed from his entire body, on which there were not only profound black lines flowing, but also occasional flashes of grey light.

Obviously, the spirit-regenerating ghost garment, which was made by adding “spirit ash” to the body’s ghost origin, was much stronger than the spirit-regenerating ghost garment recorded in “The Body of the Manifestation and Secret Myriad Paths of Immortality”.
