The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 228 Ji Leping

The figure rushed over quickly, looking disheveled, but with an excited face. He rushed in front of Ji Yunge, tears streaming down his old face:
"Third brother, you are finally back!"

Seeing the old man crying with excitement, some people who came from the outside were also surprised. Apart from Ji Yunge’s funeral decades ago, they actually saw this decisive and ruthless war god of the Ji family crying again.

"Celestial Dynasty!"

Ji Yunge's body shadow was also trembling slightly. When his brothers met again after a long separation, too many memories came to his mind.

At the same time, in the towering palaces on other floating islands surrounding the Holy Mountain, they also quickly received news from the Holy Mountain.

Ji family’s former god of war, Ji Yunge is back!

The entire Ji family's top leadership was alarmed and they all gathered on the holy mountain, making an extremely noisy scene.

There was a huge crowd of people in front of the Ji family's ancestral hall, and many people came to pay homage to the Ji family's god of war who had fallen decades ago.

Along the way, Ji Yunge talked about what had happened over the years with his brothers and his wife.

The other sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, etc. followed behind the elders, without interrupting, but just listened quietly and obediently, occasionally asking questions in a low voice.

Ji Tianchao and others were excited, but they did not talk at once. They had countless questions to ask Ji Yunge.

Where have you been these years? How are you doing? How did you get back? Everyone misses you so much... and so many other things to say.

Ji Yunge also talked about his experiences over the years and the reasons for his return.

When they learned that Ji Yunge was really detained by Mohe, everyone was shocked and relieved.

When Ji Yunge died in the battle, they searched everywhere for Ji Yunge's soul but couldn't find it, so they guessed that he might have been swept into the River of the Dead.

"The Netherworld-level Dead River has actually been cleared by someone?"

"Who is that young man? Which tribe is he from?"

"What? It's from our Ji family?!"

"Qingqing's child?!"

Following Ji Yunge's words, everyone was even more shocked.

They, the Ancient Saint Clan, were not interested in the Youdu-level Dead River, but they had also learned that even those at the Taiping Dao realm might not be able to pass it. At most, it would be destroyed. Even if they were unlucky and encountered a more difficult one, they might die in it!
The Taiping Dao Realm is considered a first-rate combat force even among the ancient families.

Who would be willing to sacrifice such power to take such an unnecessary risk?

You should know that there is no benefit in hunting monsters in the Dead River. Most of those monsters are imprisoned souls, which will dissipate when they are killed. As long as the Dead River is not cleared, these souls will appear again when it opens next time.

And by hunting down a great demon king outside, one can at least obtain a lot of treasures from the demon corpse, which can be brought back to the family for the benefit of future generations.

There are many monsters in the Great Wilderness, and survival is even more dangerous. The Ancient Saint Clan sounds powerful, but many things also need to be balanced with careful calculations so as not to waste the upper-level combat power for no reason.

In addition to this, there is another reason. The treasure house of merit of the Dead River in the Great Wilderness Heaven was closed during the holy war ten thousand years ago!

Even though some people later passed the Youdu-level Death River and accumulated 100,000 merits, it could not be opened again. This resulted in no one paying attention to the Death River in the Great Wilderness, and people avoided it whenever possible, not wanting to waste their energy.

"What kind of cultivation level does that kid have to be able to pass the Netherworld-level Dead River?"

"Qingqing actually has a child. Previously, I only knew that she secretly married someone from another tribe, but I didn't expect that she actually gave birth to a child!"

Ji Tianchao and others were all surprised and had complicated expressions.

Ji Qingqing is the daughter of Old Thirteen. In his early years, Old Thirteen hunted a big demon king for his family, but was accidentally attacked and killed by a ferocious beast.

Fortunately, the soul returned to the ancestral hall and was not swept away by the dead river.

Not long ago, Ji Qingqing's whereabouts were exposed outside the Great Wilderness and she was brought back to the family. Only then did they learn that she had secretly married someone from another race.

For the sake of Old Thirteen, they, the brothers, helped cover up the news and it did not spread widely in the Ji family. However, they could not hide it from other senior members, so according to family rules, Ji Qingqing was imprisoned.

However, there is no plan to imprison him for life, only a thousand years as punishment.

This is already considered a lenient sentence.

Unexpectedly, Ji Qingqing actually has a child and now comes to my house.

However, this child sent Ji Yunge back, which was a great contribution to the Ji family.

"That's right, that child is fifteen this year, and now he is already in the third immortal realm, but he can kill the demon king, and he is not even weaker than the ultimate learning realm!"

When mentioning Li Hao, Ji Yunge smiled and said:

"I know the clan rules, but that child is truly an unrivaled genius, the most outstanding child I have ever seen. His character and talent are both top-notch!"

"I hope you can take care of it. My Ji family has obtained this Qilin child. In the future, we will surely rise rapidly and restore the glory of our ancestor saint!"

Hearing his high praise, the onlookers were also shocked.

The third immortal realm at the age of fifteen?

This person can indeed be considered a genius, and is considered to be of top talent in the Ji family.

Ji Yunge said that the other party was not weaker than the ultimate learning realm. The span of this adversity was a bit too big!

For a moment, some people were shocked, some were suspicious, and some felt that Ji Yunge was saved by the young man and wanted to repay him, so he deliberately exaggerated the story and even wanted to use it to exonerate Ji Qingqing.

But Ji Tianchao and other brothers of Ji Yunge understood that their third brother would never lie about this.

Especially when it comes to matters involving family interests, this third brother is more serious than anyone else.

Therefore, no matter how bizarre something is, they are willing to believe it.

"I didn't expect that Old Thirteen's grandson would have such a talent!"

"If Old Thirteen knew, it should be able to make up for the regret caused by Qingqing's mistake."

"Qingqing is a reckless child, but the child she gave birth to seems to be good. Let's talk to the head of the family about this. Even if we have to make an exception for such a genius, we should be flexible..."

Ji Tianchao and several other old brothers said to Ji Yunge.

They were also relieved and delighted that such a genius was born among their descendants.

Ji Yunge laughed. He believed that as long as Li Hao showed his talent and fought for the position of the top genius, he would be able to stay in the Ji family.

After all, the Ji family is relatively tolerant towards top evildoers.

Besides, the child is half a member of the Ji family after all.

"Where is that child? Why can't I see him?"

"He's at the foot of the mountain. I asked him to wait. You can send someone to pick him up later. However, you need to report this to the head of the family first."

Ji Yunge said.

Everyone nodded slightly. For such a big thing, it would be better to get the permission of the head of the family first.

Soon, they arrived in front of the ancestral hall and saw the current head of the Ji family, Ji Daoxin, who had been waiting there.

The other person was Ji Yunge's uncle, of his father's generation. He was dressed in luxurious clothes, with snow-white hair and beard. He stood there quietly, like a quiet green lotus on a snowy mountain, giving off a sense of being out of this world.

Ji Daoxin has a kind face, deep eye sockets and gentle eyes, like an ordinary kind old grandfather.

But the Ji family is an ancient holy clan that relies on martial arts to establish its way. The Great Wilderness also follows the rule that the strong are respected. Anyone who can serve as the head of the family must be the most powerful person in the Ji family.

At this moment, Ji Daoxin looked at Ji Yunge who was crowding towards him from afar, with a smile on his face, but soon, his eyes narrowed slightly, his expression changed slightly, and the smile on his face disappeared.

Ji Yunge also saw the other party, and they looked at each other. When Ji Yunge saw the change in the other party's expression, he immediately knew that his affairs had probably been discovered.

"Yun Ge greets the Patriarch!"

Ji Yunge stepped forward and bowed. Ji Tianchao and others beside him also bowed quickly.

The younger ones simply knelt down and saluted.

In an instant, Ji Daoxin was the only one standing in the field, while the others all bent over or knelt on one knee.

Ji Daoxin stared at Ji Yunge quietly for a while before he sighed softly and said:

"In these last moments, if you want to do something, just do it. There's no need to go through all this formality."

Ji Yunge's eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded and said, "Thank you, Patriarch."

The conversation between the two fell into the silent scene, like a thunderclap out of nowhere!
Ji Tianchao and other brothers who were standing next to Ji Yunge were shocked and looked at the head of the family in shock.

"Master, what did you say..."

When Ji Daoxin shook his head slightly, Ji Tianchao's heart trembled, and he turned to look at Ji Yunge:
"Third brother, what do you mean by last time? Aren't you always here when you come back?"

Ji Yunge sighed secretly. It was impossible to hide it now, so he told his story.

When everyone heard Ji Yunge say that he was eroded too deeply by the Dead River and would soon disappear, they were shocked. Many of those who had been crying for joy before now covered their faces and cried.

"No, it's impossible!"

Ji Tianchao roared, trembling all over, unable to accept this.

We just met again, and now we have to say goodbye again, and forever?

At this moment, he suddenly remembered what Ji Yunge had just said, asking them to take care of the child.

Why don't you take care of it yourself?

It turns out that it is going to completely disappear!

Ji Tianchao realized it belatedly, his eyes suddenly turned red, his face full of grief, and he asked, "Third brother, why, why is it like this?"

Ji Yunge sighed secretly and patted his shoulder gently: "Tianchao, when I am not around, you must assist the head of the family and guard the Ji family, and don't be as reckless as I was."

"But Third Brother, you have always been calm and steady, and I am the reckless one..."

Ji Tianchao's voice was choked with sobs.

Ji Yunge smiled and said, "We are all old, why are we still crying all the time?"

As he said this, he patted the other's shoulder again, indicating that he should pay attention to his image. It was unbecoming for them, two dignified war gods of the Ji family, to be so sad.

Turning to look at the head of the family, Ji Daoxin, Ji Yunge immediately told him about Li Hao.

Ji Daoxin was slightly surprised, but when he saw Ji Yunge's serious eyes, he knew that this was the other party's dying plea.

With a sigh in his heart, he nodded slightly: "I will consider this matter. If the child is really as outstanding as you said, he can become the pride of my Ji family. But if his strength is not enough... I can only spare his life at most."

Seeing the patriarch's promise in person, Ji Yunge knew that this was the biggest concession he could make and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Master."

Ji Yunge bowed.

"In these last moments, you actually beg for mercy for a child. Don't you have any other expectations?"

Ji Daoxin said: "You died in battle and made great contributions to our Ji family. Just tell me what you want."

Ji Yunge smiled and said, "The patriarch should have given me what I wanted. I feel relieved that these children are doing well."

Seeing this, Ji Daoxin looked at him deeply and said, "Go, burn some incense for the ancestors, and do whatever you want."

Ji Yunge nodded, then bowed again as a token of gratitude to this uncle.

Then, he glanced at several brothers and saw that they all looked sad. He smiled and said:

"It's rare for me to come back, don't be so sad. It's not worth it to shed tears for me twice..."

"Third Brother!"

After hearing this, several people felt even more sad.

His son stood up and said with sobs:
"Dad, you will always be the pride of my heart. Mother cries for you day and night, and has already shed tears more than twice!"

Ji Yunge's heart trembled slightly as he looked at his wife and saw her tearful eyes. Although she didn't say anything, he understood that he had deeply hurt her again.

He suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart, as if it was torn apart by something. He wanted to smile freely, but he just couldn't.

Finally, he had to turn around, turned his back to everyone, and whispered, "I'm going to go talk to Old Thirteen first."

As he said this, he walked into the ancestral hall.

……

……

As the news of Ji Yunge's return spread, more and more people gathered on the top of the holy mountain.

Soon, they learned that although Ji Yunge had returned, he could not return to the ancestral hall and would soon disappear.

Moreover, the soul of the war god of the Ji family fell into the Dead River and was sent back by a young man.

Ji Yunge's words praising Li Hao also spread throughout the Ji family, and everyone knew that the young man was an unparalleled genius.

Soon, a group of young figures flew down the mountain, swooped down the snow-white steps, and came to the huge mountain gate.

Soon, they saw a young man standing in the grass outside the mountain gate, seemingly taking a walk and looking around.

"Hey!"

One of the young men in luxurious clothes shouted to Li Hao, "You must be the one who sent the war god Yun Ge back. What are you looking around for?"

Hearing this, Li Hao slowly turned his head and wanted to say that his name was neither Hey nor Chu Yuxuan.

But when he saw the other person's cold eyes, he lost the mood to say more and did not respond.

At this time, more figures came flying from behind, among them was a middle-aged man. He saw the young man surrounded and stared at by many young people of the Ji family outside the mountain gate, and quickly hurried over.

"You must have waited for a long time. I was ordered to take you up the mountain."

The middle-aged man smiled gently when he saw Li Hao. He was sent by Ji Yunge's sixth brother to pick up Li Hao.

"Fortunately."

Seeing the other party's polite attitude, Li Hao also responded with a smile.

Although the wait was a bit long, he did not feel bored. Instead, he took advantage of this time to carefully look at the Ji family's holy land.

Every blade of grass and every tree here, this is where that mother lived...

He felt very novel.

"You can just call me Ji Boduan. What's your name?" Ji Boduan asked.

Li Hao was about to speak but suddenly paused. He wanted to talk about Ji Hao, but suddenly thought of the younger generation around him who seemed to be somewhat unfriendly to him. He had just arrived and had not yet figured out the situation, so it would be better to hide some information as much as possible.

He thought of another name, the name that the woman had prepared for him but never used.

"Just call me Ji Leping."

Li Hao said.
