#1739 - Letter in the Box!
“What the hell?! This kid became an honorary elder of the Weapon Forging Sect again?!”
“Say that again, what did he ask us to do? Ask us to give gifts?! And special gifts?!”
Within the Eternal Sky Sect, the long-bearded elder and the others stared wide-eyed at the Weapon Forging Sect disciple who came to deliver the message, shouting in shock.
“Why are we giving gifts again! What is this kid doing! Does he want to become a member of every power in the Three Heavens!” Hu Banshan said with a face full of helplessness.
“Ahem, to be precise, the original words were, send big ones, send good ones, send expensive ones.” The Weapon Forging Sect disciple said cautiously.
The long-bearded elder's mouth twitched a couple of times upon hearing this, and he said, “Alright, alright, I got it... I'll give him two big slaps when he gets back.”
At the same time, above the Sea of Ascension.
“Kid, there's one thing I didn't mention just now. Although those Turbid Worms can't be detected by the methods of the Three Heavens, there is a way to detect them for you.”
On the way to Eastern Island, Ying Long's voice suddenly sounded.
Ji Dongfeng's heart stirred when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice, “What method?”
“The Inner World. The negative emotions generated by these creatures controlled by the Turbid Worms will show abnormalities. Maybe you can find something in the Inner World.” Ying Long said.
“The Inner World... It seems like I need to hurry. Speaking of which, is there really no way to open this treasure chest?” Ji Dongfeng said.
Ji Fangping nodded upon hearing this, and said, “This treasure chest has no lock and is completely sealed. I don't dare to smash it open by force.”
Ji Dongfeng raised his eyebrows upon hearing this. With the help of the Minor Dharma, he could see that there were several pieces of paper inside the treasure chest, but he couldn't see what was written on them.
“Strange, what exactly is written on it that it needs to be sealed up so solemnly.”
While speaking, Ji Dongfeng and Ji Fangping arrived at an inconspicuous island. Ji Dongfeng looked around and found that he could still see many islands on the sea, but most of them did not have the aura of living beings.
“This place is considered remote, and usually no living beings come here, but there are some cattle and sheep on the island that the Ji family raised before.” Ji Fangping said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Fangping led Ji Dongfeng to the most central flat area of the island, and then found that it was full of ruins, and a plaque engraved with “Ji Family” was lying on the ground, full of desolation.
Ji Fangping sighed upon seeing this, picked up the plaque, and carefully wiped it clean.
“This place is quiet, the people from Immortal Sea will probably come to help rebuild soon. When that time comes, you don't need to be polite to them, let them build it magnificently.” Ji Dongfeng said.
“Yes, by the way, the Ji family ancestral hall is still there, do you want to go take a look?” Ji Fangping said.
Ji Dongfeng's heart stirred when he heard this, and he said, “The ancestral hall wasn't destroyed?”
“The ancestral hall is built on the top of the short mountain over there. Those bastards probably knew what was stored there, so they didn't dare to destroy it.” Ji Fangping said.
“Take me to see it.” Ji Dongfeng said.
Half an incense stick of time later, Ji Dongfeng and the two arrived in front of an extremely ancient ancestral hall. The ancestral hall was not big, and there were no defensive formations. It was like an ordinary mountain temple, but the surroundings were spotless, and it seemed that someone came to clean it every day.
Ji Dongfeng saw this and called out Ji Hui, and then the father and son stepped into the ancestral hall.
As soon as he entered the ancestral hall, Ji Dongfeng saw rows of memorial tablets, and the one enshrined at the top was Ji Youlong.
“After that battle, overnight, there were no empty spaces left in the ancestral hall.” Ji Fangping said while lighting incense.
“Those enshrined here... are all ancestors of my Ji family...” Ji Dongfeng said with a complicated expression.
“Not everyone is, there are also some who changed their surnames to join the Ji family, they are enshrined on the edges on both sides.” Ji Fangping said, placing the treasure chest in his hand next to the incense.
Ji Hui looked at Ji Youlong's memorial tablet, sighed, and then said, “Salute, not for Ji Youlong, but for the other Ji family members.”
Ji Dongfeng nodded upon hearing this, knelt on the ground with Ji Hui, and then kowtowed three times to the memorial tablet.
“Boom!”
Just as Ji Dongfeng was about to get up, Ji Youlong's memorial tablet trembled violently, and then a golden light appeared, and a small formation appeared behind the memorial tablet!
“What is this?” Ji Dongfeng said in puzzlement.
“I don't know, I've never seen it before.” Ji Fangping said in shock.
“It looks like a kind of induction formation, it can only be activated if certain conditions are met.” Mo Yu'er said.
“Buzz...”
Looking at the first sentence on the letter, Ji Dongfeng's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, “This is the letter left by Ji Youlong.”
Ji Hui's heart trembled when he heard this, and he quickly surrounded him.
“If the Heavenly Dao hasn't deceived me, you should already be a person with heaven-defying luck, or you should obtain the identity of the Hundred Lifetimes Clan.”
Seeing the second sentence, Ji Dongfeng trembled all over, and Ji Hui next to him also shrank his pupils, and was stunned in place for a while, his mind blank.
“What does this mean, Ji Youlong... how would he know about the Hundred Lifetimes Clan, how would he be involved with the Heavenly Dao.” Ji Hui said in a deep voice.
Ji Dongfeng took a deep breath upon hearing this, suppressed the shock in his heart, and continued to read.
“When I was traveling in the First Heaven, I accidentally met a clone of an immortal. The immortal was nameless, but he passed on a method to me, called Dream Seeking, which can create good fortune in dreams, and can solve doubts in dreams.”
“I learned this method, and since then I have dreamed every night. The things that happened in the dreams were strange and bizarre, but they were always related to reality, and I benefited a lot. One day, I dreamed of a vast sky, and the sky spoke, calling itself the Heavenly Dao, and asked me if I dared to gamble with him, sacrificing my Ji family, in exchange for the Nine Heavens without turbidity.”
“I asked the Heavenly Dao what this meant, and the Heavenly Dao responded, the Nine Heavens need to give birth to a hero in order to sweep away the filth of demonic cultivators. If there is no such hero, the Nine Heavens will definitely be destroyed, but to make this hero born, great sacrifices need to be made. The Heavenly Dao asked me, would I be willing to sacrifice for this, and I asked him, what would be sacrificed.”
“The Heavenly Dao responded, sacrifice the descendants of the Ji family's talent for cultivation and luck, and secretly accumulate these descendants' talents and luck. When the time is ripe, he will gather these luck on one person of my Ji family, making him reincarnate as the Hundred Lifetimes Clan, reincarnating as the future hero of the Nine Heavens.”
