#1734 - The glory of the Ji family! - Death Reward Artifact! All the players in the server begged me not to die

"Besides the Four Great Continents, the Third Heaven also has many scattered islands in the Sea of Ascension at its center. If there aren't ten thousand, there are at least eight thousand. In name, these islands are under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Sea, but in reality, the Immortal Sea can't control them and doesn't want to," Han Qiushi said.

"On these islands, there are many mortals, as well as many cultivators fleeing from all directions, and even exiled creatures of various races. In short, it can be said that it is a mixed bag, with various forces mixed together. Outsiders are simply unwilling to enter, and the Immortal Sea naturally doesn't want to get involved, so they only occasionally send people to intimidate them, but they don't really manage them."

"Among these many islands, ninety percent are chaotic and disorderly, but there are also a few islands that are still relatively orderly. Eastern Island is one of them. Eastern Island is an island controlled by the Ji family. In the early years, the Ji family was considered a family with a little reputation in the Third Heaven... As far as I know, after the ancestor of the Ji family came to the Third Heaven, he didn't join any continent, but found an uninhabited island alone, named it Eastern Island, and started a family."

Ji Dongfeng frowned slightly upon hearing this, looked at Ji Fangping, and said in a deep voice, "What is the name of your Ji family's ancestor?"

"Ji Youlong," Ji Fangping said.

"Ji Youlong?! Ji Youlong is indeed our Ji family's ancestor! It seems that this Ji family in the Third Heaven is our Ji family!" Ji Hui said in a deep voice.

Ji Dongfeng's heart stirred upon hearing this, and he said, "Wait a minute... Ji Youlong is our Ji family's ancestor? I remember I asked you before, and you said... the Ji family's ancestors were all insignificant little people..."

"This Ji Youlong was still somewhat capable. Although his cultivation talent wasn't strong and his cultivation realm wasn't high, his combat power was extremely strong. He used the Lightning Spiritual Root with superb skill, and soon made Eastern Island a bit famous. Some rogue cultivators even went to seek refuge, but there was only one requirement to join Eastern Island, and that was to change their surname to Ji," Han Qiushi said.

"In the battles against the filth, most of the islands in the Sea of Ascension are not active, and some won't even send people to help. Only Eastern Island always goes all out, and its contribution is no less than that of some cultivation sects. Some sects have repeatedly invited them to move to the Ascending Immortal Continent, but the Ji family has always declined."

"It's just that Eastern Island's behavior makes the creatures of other islands a little unhappy, so the relationship between the Ji family and other creatures is not harmonious, but they don't care. They participate in battles when there are battles, and diligently cultivate when there are no battles."

"It's just that later..."

Ji Dongfeng frowned slightly upon hearing this and said, "What happened later?"

"Later... in a battle against the filth, some demon cultivators didn't know what method they used to bypass the layers of checkpoints and emerged from the Sea of Ascension. At that time, the main forces of the various sects were fighting on the front lines, and the rear was extremely empty. These demon cultivators were heading for the sects on the Ascending Immortal Continent that had weak defenses," Han Qiushi said.

"Fortunately, the Ji family, who hadn't had time to go to war at that time, discovered them. The entire Ji family was dispatched and desperately blocked these demon cultivators. At that time, the overall realm of the Ji family was a major realm lower than that of the demon cultivators, and coupled with the scarcity of treasures, they were quickly defeated..."

"The Ji family asked for help from other nearby islands, but the other islands didn't dare to fight, and didn't even dare to show their faces. In order to hold back these demon cultivators, many members of the Ji family chose to self-detonate... Some even chose to use the 'Three Lives Lock' to trap the demon cultivators... The entire Ji family, from top to bottom, no one survived the battle. In the end, they stubbornly held back these demon cultivators until the reinforcements from the Ascending Immortal Continent arrived..." Ji Fangping said, gritting his teeth.

Han Qiushi sighed upon hearing this and said, "Half self-detonated, half requested to die. Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, just thinking about it, I know how tragic it was... After that battle, the Ji family only had one child left, and an old man who didn't participate in the battle because of serious injuries."

Ji Dongfeng looked at Ji Fangping upon hearing this and said, "That child is you?"

"Yes," Ji Fangping said, his eyes full of sorrow.

"Because of excessive grief, the old man also passed away after raising Ji Fangping to adulthood... To thank the Ji family, the Ascending Immortal Continent announced to the Third Heaven that Eastern Island would forever belong to the Ji family, and the Ji family would be protected by the Ascending Immortal Continent. No force shall harm them, otherwise, they would be enemies with the Ji family," Han Qiushi said.

"The two mountain-guarding elders of Mount Requiem also gave the child a jade pendant, saying that he could go to them if he had trouble..."

Ji Fangping sneered upon hearing this and said, "Protection... what bullshit protection... Those cultivators are just saying nice things, and once they say that, they are high and mighty again. Once they say that, they are even with the Ji family. They have become the role models of the cultivation world again and can live their lives in peace."

"And this jade pendant... Can this jade pendant revive my family... Can it make the Ji family return to what it was before! The only use of this thing is to remind me that the Ji family is gone, and I am the only one left!"

Ji Dongfeng frowned slightly upon hearing this. He could feel the resentment in Ji Fangping's heart surging and boiling.

Han Qiushi said in a deep voice upon hearing this, "These words... are indeed correct. In the first year, the Ascending Immortal Continent often went to Eastern Island to visit Ji Fangping, but after a year, the number of visits became less and less. After a few more years... no one went anymore. The things that the Ji family had done seemed to be forgotten, and the Third Heaven was still busy fighting each other. The Ji family is just a piece of history, and perhaps in remote places, there are still people who occasionally mention that battle as after-dinner gossip."

Ji Fangping clenched his fists upon hearing this and said in a deep voice, "You're right, the Ji family are all fools. What's the point of working so hard? Even if you risk your life, you will only be praised a few times. People are dead, what's the point of those false names!"

"Speak, who bullied you?" Ji Dongfeng said directly.

Han Qiushi was stunned at first, then looked carefully and found that Ji Fangping was holding a blood-stained jade pendant tightly in his hand.

"This jade pendant... is from Mount Requiem?" Han Qiushi said in a deep voice.

Ji Fangping took a deep breath upon hearing this and said, "Farewell, everyone, I'm going to Mount Requiem. The fools of the Ji family are all dead, and I am the only one who can guard the Ji family's glory!"
