Chapter 21: Clouds and Tides
The spirit ship sailed for more than half a month, and under the support of the seven Yuanying cultivators with all their might, it passed through the barriers between the worlds and stopped in a certain forest in the immortal cultivation world.
In the past half a month, Ji Xue has cultivated in addition to cultivation, and due to the opportunity of the dust and rain, most of the Spirit Rhino Ring has been repaired. Its functions are more complete, and at present, Ji Xue's physical body can also enter the space with the soul.
She had experimented, and when she entered the space, the Spirit Rhino Ring would turn into a molecule, mixed with countless aura, and it would be easily undetectable.
She didn't take any chances, at least when she was on the ship, she wouldn't enter the Spirit Rhino Ring to cultivateβeven if the aura in the ring was about ten times richer than the aura in the current Immortal Cultivation Realm forest. It's really too dangerous to have a monk in the infancy on the ship.
"The people who can be brought are all qualified. But this alone is not an indication of your true abilities. The people who can enter the Taiyi Sect are all people with qualifications, perseverance, and good morals, and you need to stay in the edge forest for a month.
"If you can stick to it within a month, you will go to the third level. Only those who have successfully passed the three levels will be able to enter the Taiyi Sect. β
A monk in the infancy stage said this, and asked the Jindan monks to give everyone a dark green jade plaque:
"If you can't hold on, you will break the jade plaque, and someone will take you out and send you back to where you came. In addition, those who are robbed of the jade plaque will also lose their qualifications to worship the sect, and we will not be responsible for dying in the marginal forest.
"In other words, your task is to protect the jade plaque and stay safe and sound in the edge forest for a month. Did you listen to the whiteness? β
"Will someone die?"
No one in the "......" crowd replied to the monk's words at all, but the topic of the dead was discussed endlessly, almost causing a riot.
"Yes, it will die. If you're afraid of death, you can go back now, and we'll send someone to send you back to where you came from. β
This time, when the Yuan Infant Monk spoke, he carried coercion and spiritual power, and finally shook the crowd to silence.
As soon as the Yuan Infant Monk's voice fell, many old people and women stood up, and there were also many young men, and the number of them suddenly decreased by 1/5.
The monk was not disappointed, he did not expect much courage and courage from these people from the world. He nodded, and sure enough, he sent a Jindan monk to protect these mortals on the spirit ship.
Yes, even though these people have dropped out of the assessment, it is still necessary to wait until after a certain period of time, and all those who did not pass but survived will go with them. To send it together, it is too resource-intensive and manpower-consuming to send it in batches.
"For the rest, please go into the forest yourself. Someone will pick you up in a month. β
After speaking, Yuanying Monk beckoned, took the remaining monks, collected the vacated surplus spirit boat and left, and did not know where to go.
Others don't know, but in the crowd, there must be two people who are white. One is Ji Xue and the other is Helan Yuan. Ji Xue has the ability to judge herself, and Hilda Snow affirms her guesses. What about Helan Yuan? It was reminded by Gu Lao Gu Sang.
As soon as a few high-ranking monks left, those who thought they were capable began to recruit troops, and those who were confused blindly followed. Or maybe someone from their original organization followed.
Ji Xue has her own small circle of interpersonal communication, so she naturally walks with the people in her circle. There are quite a few people in the crowd who have such a small circle. Therefore, a large group of people was quickly divided into several factions.
There is no doubt that people who have agreed to be together will have more consistent thoughts, better cooperation, fewer disputes, and everything will be overwhelming.
The people in the makeshift circle were numerous, and even though they were not afraid to enter the forest. But without a good leader, not only will they face many crises in the marginal forests, but they will also have to raise the spirit to solve the problems of distraction and different minds in the team, and it is difficult for them to twist into a rope.
Several single spirit roots in the No. 1 boat have been together on the ship for half a month, and they don't see each other when they look up, and they soon get to know each other, so they naturally gather together.
Coupled with Chen Yunuo, Yan Wu, and An Jingmu in the No. 2 boat that Ji Xue knew, Lin Shuyao, Yan Yi, and Yan Qi in the No. 3 boat, Helan Yuan in the No. 5 boat, and friends from other No. 1 boat people, they quickly formed an elite team of more than 20 people.
She didn't know what other people's skills were, but Ji Xue was sure that although the people of her Flying Feather Sect had not been training for a long time, they were definitely able to beat ten with one. Good friend Chen Yunuo is the daughter of a general, and Helan is far from Gu Sang's old immortal guidance, and he will not be bad. As for her cousin Ji Yue, she just doesn't know anything, and she protects her.
After solving the problem of food and drinking water, more than 20 people stayed in the open space by the river, and changed shifts with Wen Luobai, a new acquaintance, and the second half of the night happened to be Ji Xue's vigil.
"Come out." Ji Xue saw that everyone was asleep, and shouted in the sea of knowledge.
"Hello." A cloud of blue light flew out of Ji Xue's body, turning into a weak soul - a remnant soul.
With a smile on his face, the remnant soul greeted Ji Xue shyly.
Since the two had been living together before, Ji Xue could communicate directly with the remnant soul with divine thoughts: "Are you the original owner of the body, Helan Xue?" β
Although the words are interrogative, the tone is very affirmative.
"Yes, but not soon." The remnant did not hide it, and replied very directly.
"What do you mean? Have you given up your identity, don't want revenge, don't want to know who your father is? Ji Xue wondered, could anyone really be so generous? Such a virgin?
"There can only be one Helan Xue in this world, so ......"
"So what? Are you going to disappear? No, I wouldn't agree. I'm sure I'll find a way for the two of us to coexist. β
Before the remnant soul finished speaking, Ji Xue interrupted.
The remnant soul laughed self-deprecatingly: "No, no, you misunderstood me, I don't have such a great spirit of sacrifice." β
She then recounted her wishes: "Don't worry, listen to me. My body is already in perfect harmony with your soul, and you are more compatible with my body than my own soul. Do you look in the mirror and feel like me? β
Ji Xue hadn't looked at her face for a long time, and when she heard the words, she immediately pinched her fingertips, and the water vapor in front of her condensed into a water mirror, and she saw her appearance. My eyes widened in shock: I was exactly the same as my fifteen-year-old self in my previous life!
Looking at the remnant souls again, although they are five or six points similar in appearance, they can't tell that they are the same person at all.
Seeing Ji Xue's surprise, the remnant soul continued: "That's why I decided to give up this body. I didn't really want to give up on myself, but I wanted to re-cultivate a body of my own. β
Ji Xueqiao's face turned red, it turned out that she had misunderstood. But getting down to business, she then asked, "Is it like Gu Sang?" β
"Yes and no." The remnant soul shook his head: "He is an immortal soul, he can't condense his own physical body, and he needs all kinds of spiritual materials to cooperate." But I'm just a mortal soul, and it's not the same as ordinary dead ghosts, I'm a living soul, and I can't be a ghost cultivator.
"So, if I want to condense the physical body, I just need to collect ordinary raw materials, and then practice a martial art inherited from the Ancient Dao Sect of your Flying Feather Sect, no, it should be said that it is a cultivation method, the "Soul Condensing Technique".
The remnant soul has been sleeping in Ji Xue's sea of consciousness for a long time, and although Ji Xue's experience in his past life is not as clear as his perception in this life, he also knows three or four points vaguely.
This "Soul Condensing Technique", because Ji Xue's cousin in that world had cultivated, she was very impressed-after all, Ji Xue had always remembered her cousin's things clearly.
Ji Xue is not surprised how the remnant soul knows so much, this kind of thing is combined with the novels that the junior sisters read, it is easy to guess the cause and effect.
She was curious: "Aren't you the Ice Spirit Root?" Isn't it necessary to use the magic of the Ice Spirit Root? β
"Not really. Actually, I didn't have a spiritual root originally, and the ice spiritual root was born after your soul and body fused together. β
The remnant smiled again, a little silly cute, and she continued:
"Maybe it's a good thing that I'm like this, but I'm living an easy life now. There is no responsibility, and I can't hear cold words, and I even have the opportunity to cultivate into an immortal. You know, with my original body, I don't have any chance to cultivate. β
In other words, it was not Ji Xue who occupied her body, but Ji Xue who took her away.
"You think so." Ji Xuewan'er was no longer entangled, and used his divine thoughts to pass on the specific content of the "Soul Condensing Technique" to the remnant soul.
The remnant soul happily received the information about the exercise: "Thank you. One more thing, and that's I'm going to change my name. Although I know that my sister (Helanya) has difficulties and hardships, I don't want to be involved with the people of Helan Mansion anymore.
"It was you who gave me a new lease of life, and it was the person who created the exercise of "Soul Condensation Technique" that gave me the opportunity to reshape my life, since you are now called Ji Xue and she is called Yun Xiaoyue, then I will be called Ji Yunxi."
"Okay, Yunxi." Ji Xue gently summoned Ji Yunxi, her tone was gentle, like the quiet flowing water after nightfall, she said: "You just stay in the Spirit Rhino Ring to cultivate, after all, it is something left to you by your mother." β
"Really? Thank you! Ji Yunxi said happily, the soul body happily circled around Ji Xue, and then the entire remnant soul turned into a cloud of dark blue light and drilled into the space of the Spirit Rhino Ring.
Ji Xue touched the Spirit Rhino Ring, pondering what aspects should be used to compensate Ji Yunxi. She took over Ji Yunxi's dowry and used it to rebuild an organization called "Flying Feather"; used Ji Yunxi's body; also recognized the treasures left to her by Ji Yunxi and her mother...... These cheapness cannot be offset by a single exercise.
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard Ji Yunxi's cheerful voice: "Treasures, those who are destined to get them, senior sister doesn't have to have a knot." β
With the exercises of the Flying Feather Sect, she is naturally a member of the Flying Feather Sect. It's not wrong to call Ji Xue a senior sister. Since they are people of the same denomination, rounding off is a family, what do families have to worry about sharing something?
"This girl." Ji Xue heard what Ji Yunxi meant, and couldn't help but smile in a low voice. That being said, she can't be so tasteless, it's better to take care of Ji Yunxi more in the future, and she has to find a suitable baby for her.
All the entanglements disappeared, and there was no movement around except the sound of a campfire burning, the sound of the wind, and the gentle shallow breathing of his teammates.
Ji Xue looked at the starry sky in the sky, and had a comfortable feeling of clearing the clouds and mist to see the moon.
She thought, aimlessly: Is this world the same as the starry sky of the world she was supposed to be in?
No one knows, and no one can give an answer.
