Chapter 147 A Lesson

The dignified Shangqing Sect had suddenly become like this. Ji Xiang didn't recognize the two people before him, nor had they appeared at the initial Sect Leader Assembly. Everything within the hall, as far as his eyes could see, was taken in. All the sect leaders were present, yet the Mount Mao headmaster was nowhere to be found!

"Why isn't the Mount Mao headmaster here? Who are you two? How dare you commit such acts that violate heavenly laws! It seems you don't take me, the Dao Record Division Master of the Great Ming, seriously!"

"Violating heavenly laws and breaking the Great Ming code, a double offense!"

"The *Great Ming Code* states: 'Whoever schemes to seduce and abduct good people, or sells them into slavery, shall be beaten one hundred times with a staff and exiled three thousand *li*.'"

"Injuring someone is punishable by strangulation!"

"Killing someone is punishable by beheading!"

Ji Xiang walked forward step by step, the entire Nine Heavens Palace trembling!

At this moment, Ji Xiang's physical body had reached the Five Qi Core Unification realm, so the external cultivation he could display was already at the peak of the innate level, approaching the Refined Spirit realm!

This meant Ji Xiang could use more of the Ascended realm's power!

The Nine Heavens Palace was the main palace of Mount Mao, but under the pressure of the Ascended realm, it shook violently!

The Pure Yang expert who had previously occupied the position of Mount Mao headmaster was shocked by Ji Xiang's voice. From the moment Ji Xiang entered, he had found it unbelievable and incomprehensible!

"You were actually able to break through those formations and come here? That's impossible. The higher the cultivation of someone entering the formation, the more difficult it is to break. How could you not pay any price and walk out of those formations unscathed?"

"You must be injured..."

The Pure Yang expert's self-talk grew softer and softer, because looking at Ji Xiang's fierce, bright eyes, he truly knew that Ji Xiang had broken through the formations and emerged at an extremely fast speed!

"Whether I'm injured or not, why don't you come over and try it yourself?"

"Your great formations are useless and have all been destroyed by me!"

Ji Xiang looked at him, his eyes like torches, the condensed gaze almost shattering his Yang energy!

Hearing that the great formations had been completely destroyed, the Pure Yang expert's face was filled with astonishment!

"How is that possible? Those are all Mount Mao's great formations, connected to the Mount Mao earth meridian. The formations are constantly sustained by Yun Zai. With your strength, it's impossible for you to destroy the formations and escape..."

He didn't believe Ji Xiang's words, but seeing Ji Xiang's eyes, he had to believe it.

It was a kind of unruliness and arrogance!

As if to say, your formations are nothing but ordinary and mediocre!

Not bothering to explain, but proving it to you!

"Heh!"

The Pure Yang expert's face darkened, and he carefully observed Ji Xiang again, the more he looked, the more strange he felt!

"The physical body realm is only at the ninth realm, Five Qi Core Unification, but the displayed cultivation is at the peak of the innate level?"

"But this aura doesn't match the peak of the innate level. What's going on? His power seems to far exceed the peak of the innate level, but no matter how I look, I can't see any problems. This person is extraordinary!"

The last sentence wasn't self-talk, but spoken to the young man in the azure Daoist robe.

The implication was, what do you think? I'm counting on you to protect me.

At this moment, the Pure Yang expert was full of vigilance towards Ji Xiang. He was tense, not daring to be negligent in the face of a powerful enemy.

He also knew about the previous conversation between the Mount Mao headmaster and Ji Xiang, and even knew the fact that Ji Xiang was a crippled Ascended.

However, even as a crippled Ascended, the state Ji Xiang displayed was still completely beyond his expectations.

He originally thought that with his Pure Yang strength, he would be able to fight Ji Xiang, but now he felt that he couldn't act rashly!

The other party's physical body realm, external cultivation, and true strength seemed to be three non-intersecting parallel lines!

The young man in the azure Daoist robe remained calm in Ji Xiang's deafening voice, only frowning slightly and giving Ji Xiang a slight smile:

"I'm not a person of the Ming Dynasty. Can the Great Ming code still be useful to me?"

"You're not going to use the laws of this dynasty to restrain people from previous dynasties, are you?"

Ji Xiang chuckled, "Your brain is truly interesting. I've only ever heard of the sword of a previous dynasty not being able to kill an official of this dynasty, but I've never heard of your argument that the sword of this dynasty can't kill an official of a previous dynasty?"

"The previous dynasty is already destroyed, what previous dynasty is there! Are you saying that the cold words in history books dare to jump up and cause trouble?"

The young man in the azure Daoist robe grinned, "Even if they jump up, what can you do to me?"

"How can the previous dynasty be said to be destroyed? As long as the loyalists of the previous dynasty still exist, as long as those who cultivate still remember, the previous dynasty will always exist. The laws of the later dynasty are the things of the later dynasty. Wanting to control me is impossible."

"I heard that you seem to be an ancient immortal as well. You actually work for a later dynasty? You don't have any of the majesty of the Great Han."

The smile on the young man in the azure Daoist robe's face disappeared:

"Also, you say I violate heavenly laws, relying on my immortal status and heavy authority, recklessly wielding power and causing harm to people's bodies?"

"Absurd! I'm carrying out the inheritance of my Shangqing Sect. She is the Dao Child I chose, she is my disciple. What I do to her, what does it have to do with you? You, the Dao Record Division Master of the Great Ming, dare to interfere in the internal affairs of my Shangqing Sect?"

"Even if you are the Dao Master of the later dynasty, you are interfering a bit too much. When you see me, shouldn't you be afraid, instead of coming at me aggressively?"

"You should know that I come from the Li Mountain River. For those who can descend into the mortal body from the Li Mountain River, are you really confident in dealing with me?"

"I think you, an ancient immortal, have been sleeping for too long and are muddled.

"Let me, a senior, come and teach you well, how to... properly be... a cultivator of the previous dynasty!"

"My Daoist name is..."

The young man in the azure Daoist robe was just about to introduce himself. After all, he was also one of the Shangqing Patriarchs and had no fear of a crippled Ascended, but the next moment, Ji Xiang interrupted him!

"I know you! Ancient Immortal Yin Changsheng!"

Ji Xiang interrupted his words, and the young man in the azure Daoist robe narrowed his eyes at having his identity exposed, as if facing a great enemy!

"You know me?"

Ji Xiang smiled coldly, not answering, but instead checking the description on the inner vision divine tablet:

"So that's it. You descended from a place called the Zhu Fire Palace. That place is in charge of the Shangqing Dharma Realm. You find suitable people to inherit the Dao through the Zhu Fire Palace in the Shangqing Dharma Realm, refining them into Dao Children to descend, merging with their form and spirit, in order to achieve the effect of substituting plums for peaches!"

"Changing appearance in the coffin of the three *yin*, appearing young in the nine refinement palace, and then knowing that immortals are strange, dying without perishing! Obtaining the Dao and passing away, sometimes appearing, sometimes hiding, entrusting the body to descendants, is the hidden path of the Dao."

"Familiar, isn't it?"

"Hmph!"

"What mortal body descent, what nonsense, it's just a variation of seizing someone's body!"

Ji Xiang cursed as he spoke, but what he said made the pupils of the ancient immortal Yin Changsheng in the azure Daoist robe contract. And then, Ji Xiang said something even more shocking!

"You are also considered a Shangqing Patriarch, I really didn't expect it! It seems you entered the same sect as the Shangqing Three Patriarchs. I remember your master should be Ma Mingsheng!"

"Shangqing Three Patriarchs, Xu Changshi, won't you come out to meet me?"

After the voice fell, nothing else happened in the Nine Heavens Palace, but Ji Xiang laughed and grabbed towards a void with one hand!

The Ascended realm divine power operated suddenly. At this time, Yin Changsheng was about to attack, but he was suppressed in place by a great shock in the void. Ji Xiang raised his hand again, and unleashed Five Thunders, and in an instant, wind and thunder split together in the Nine Heavens Palace!

As the Five Thunders turned, amid lightning and thunder, a figure appeared in the void, with white hair and a youthful face, and an immortal demeanor!

The Shangqing Third Patriarch!

"You can actually see where I am!"

The Shangqing Third Patriarch looked at Ji Xiang, his tone full of surprise. He seemed a little incredulous that his Jade Morning Void Form Technique was directly seen through by the other party!

"Many people in the Li Mountain River are afraid of you, an ancient immortal. It seems that it's not a false statement. It's just a pity that what I'm manifesting here is only a Jade Morning Void Image. It's a pity I can't cross realms to arrive. If my true body were here, you, an ancient immortal, would probably have to return to the soil today."

Ji Xiang looked at him, word by word, "Don't think that there are no rules in the world, don't think that there is no one in the world who can govern you!"

"I will give you a good lesson today!"

Ji Xiang made a great seal with his hand, operating the Ascended divine power!

Three Capitals Seal, Chapter of Annihilation, shattering the void!

Great Pangu Creation Seal!

Once the seal was sacrificed, at this moment in the Nine Heavens Palace, thousands of Yang energy revolved and gathered at one point, erupting from the void into the real world. All that touched it was shattered under the great seal!

At this time, the Shangqing Third Patriarch's gaze condensed, and he felt a familiar power from this great seal, and he was greatly surprised!

"*Heavenly Devil Realm Destruction Art*! This book has not yet been published, how did you learn it!"
