Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Ji Qingyun, use four words to describe him, that is:

A genius!

What about his son Shen Yichen? He can also be described in four words:

Born to be a prodigal!

This father and son were both playing the game of chess as they pleased. The answer was told to Ji Qingyun by the five-year-old Ji Yichen.

So, Shen Yichen seems to be even more powerful than his father Ji Qingyun, of course, in terms of character!

This might be one of the reasons why Ji Qingyun sent his son Ji Yichen into the world of cultivation, because he knew in his heart that he really couldn't do whatever he wanted!

Coming and going in Kongyan in Qianzong Mountain, the fifteen-year-old Ji Qingyun entered the Tao through chess and realized the Ji family's Holy Emperor Art. He named it the Holy Emperor Art of the Heart of Heaven and Earth!

This should be the highest level of the Ji family's Holy Emperor Art. Ji Qingyun thought that it was better than the Holy Emperor Art of the Unity of Heaven and Earth that Ji Xuanfeng had realized five hundred years ago. Of course, this was just his own feeling, because he had never fought with Ji Xuanfeng, nor had he seen what the Holy Emperor Art of the Unity of Heaven and Earth looked like. But one thing was enough to prove his idea!

That is, Ji Qingyun can walk into the Emperor Tree. That is why he called the way he realized the Heart of Heaven and Earth Holy Emperor Secret, because after Ji Qingyun walked into the Emperor Tree, he realized that the Emperor Tree was about the Heart of Heaven and Earth!

In other words, Ji Qingyun felt that he was the incarnation of the Emperor Tree, the heart of heaven and earth, so naturally he should save the Emperor Tree that was heading towards decline. This was why Ji Qingyun felt that he could not truly follow his heart, because he had the Emperor Tree in his heart, or he could say that he was the heart of the Emperor Tree!

Fifteen-year-old Ji Qingyun walked into Fengling Tower without the consent of the prison officers. It was Ji Qingyun who walked out of Fengling Tower on his own.

Under the Emperor Tree, the prison officer who was holding a grass in his mouth was so shocked that he could not move!

Ji Qingyun and the prison officer looked at each other and stood quietly under the Emperor Tree.

Finally, Ji Qingyun said apologetically:

"I'm sorry I couldn't enter the hell. I'm not the one you were waiting for!"

Wujian Hell is the real name of Wujian Tower!

The prison officer holding a grass in his mouth believed Ji Qingyun's words. Ji Qingyun must have entered the seventeenth floor, otherwise he would not know the four words "Avici Hell"!

What Ji Qingyun didn’t know was that five hundred years ago, Ji Xuanfeng had also walked to the gate of the Avici Hell, and even the prison officers didn’t know about it!

After Ji Qingyun walked out of Fengling Tower, he soon entered the world of cultivation alone. Ten years later, he brought back Shen Surong, took over the position of young master, and soon took over as the head of the family!

Ji Qingyun took over as the patriarch, but most of the Thirteen Feathers of the Ji family were against it. The reason was very simple. Ji Qingyun was the common descendant of the Tianzong lineage and the Chuancheng lineage. He was destined not to become the patriarch who could balance the various forces of the Ji family!

Although Ji Qingyun has been trying to balance the forces of all parties since he became the head of the family, the power of the two veins behind him is like a thorn, piercing the hearts of the Thirteen Feathers of the Ji family!

Ji Qingyun knew it himself, so he never set foot in Qianzong Mountain and stayed away from the inheritance lineage. But even so, he could not balance the Thirteen Feathers and the power behind them!

Ji Yichen's unintentional game of chess made Ji Qingyun suddenly enlightened. That night, Ji Qingyun played two games of chess!

The first is himself. Since he cannot leave the Ji family and the Emperor Tree, he must do whatever he wants in the Ji family!

The second is to let his son Ji Yichen enter the world of cultivation and follow his own will.

In this way, the Ji family and the world don’t know where his chess pieces are going, and Xuantian Pavilion naturally doesn’t know either!

In Guyun Ridge, the masked man in white gauze did not respond to the words of Hei Bai Ji Xuan Yan, but said slowly:

"The Emperor Tree, the root of the Ji family's existence, is declining. Do you know the reason?"

Of course, no one knew, including the prison officer who was holding a grass in his mouth. He didn't know either.

Ji Xuanyan in white asked softly:

"Do you know?"

"I don't know if Ji Xuanfeng knows this or not. I guess he should know this, and he is looking for a way to save it. You poured endless spiritual treasures into the Beiming Abyss, I guess it's for the Emperor Tree, but that can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause!"

Black and white Ji Xuanyan looked at each other. This was certainly not their purpose, but fortunately, Ji Qingyun didn’t know everything!

"Don't beat around the bush, just get straight to the point!"

Ji Xuanyan in white really didn't expect that Ji Qingyun actually knew the reason for the decline of the Emperor Tree!

"We are all members of the Ji family. Ji Xuanfeng is looking for a way to rescue us, but we must protect the Ji family. Fighting each other will only give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage!"

"Ji Qingyun, stop talking nonsense. The reason why the Ji family set up the Thirteen Feathers is to restrain each other. If you want all the Ji family members to listen to you, that is the way to destruction. For thousands of years, the Ji family has not allowed anyone to unify the Thirteen Feathers. Even the three royal families can't do it, let alone one person."

These words were actually said by Ji Xuanyan in black!

The masked man in white gauze looked at the four people, shook his head, and sighed softly:

"This is a scam by Xuantian Pavilion. If I'm not mistaken, the layout of the Ji family's Thirteen Feathers should have originally come from Xuantian Pavilion. It can't be called a scam, right? It should be said that it is the Xuantian Pavilion's way of checks and balances. But we don't need checks and balances at all, because we only prove one way of heaven, and the reason why Xuantian Pavilion can check and balance the forces of all parties is because they have the nine ways of heaven!"

Ji Qingyun's words obviously lacked strength, and the four people outside Yunshan Pavilion disagreed!

The masked man in white veil didn't care and continued:

"The real reason for the Emperor Tree's demise was the trap set by Xuantian Pavilion during the thousand-year war between good and evil. Thousands of years ago, Xuantian Pavilion entered the world, seemingly for world peace, but its real purpose was to use the power of the Eight Paths of Xuantian to destroy the Emperor Tree!"

Ji Qingyun's words directly shocked the four people outside Yunshan Pavilion. The four people looked at each other, shocked but also a little bit unbelieving!

Ji Xuanyan in white asked:

"Ji Qingyun, how did you know?"

The masked man in white veil did not respond, but flew up, with True Energy surging around him. Soon, a tree appeared behind him. It was the Emperor Tree. It was not an illusion of True Energy, but a real miniature of the Emperor Tree!

The expressions of the black-and-white Ji Xuanyan and the prison officer holding the grass in his mouth changed drastically, but the master Yi Xuan did not react at all, because he had already seen it!

"The Holy Emperor Technique that I realized is the Holy Emperor Technique of the Heart of Heaven and Earth, and the Emperor Tree is the Heart of Heaven and Earth!"

The masked man in white gauze turned around and fell, returning to the Spruce Pavilion.

Ji Xuanyan of Black and White still looked at the masked man in white gauze, because his explanation did not make sense. It might be true that he had realized the Holy Emperor's Art of the Heart of Heaven and Earth, but what did this have to do with Xuantian Pavilion?

The masked man continued:

"I can walk into the Emperor Tree and find that the power of the Eight Paths of Xuantian is constantly eroding it. I left the Ji family to find out where this power comes from. In the end, I found that the seal from the Night Realm a thousand years ago is the same for all the places that the Xuantian Pavilion and the Ji family sealed together. The power of the Eight Paths of Xuantian is not only a seal, but also a termite, which is eroding the Emperor Woods all over the world!"

Outside the Spruce Pavilion, the four people were of course shocked. These things happened thousands of years ago, and it was really difficult for them to judge whether they were true or not. But the Emperor Tree was really dying, and the Ji family couldn't find the reason.

Black and white Ji Xuanyan looked at each other. They did not believe Ji Qingyun's words. They believed Ji Xuanfeng's words more. However, there had been no news about Ji Xuanfeng for five hundred years.

In the Yunshan Pavilion, the man with a white gauze mask looked towards the north and said softly:

"Everyone, we don't have much time left. We must eliminate all forces that oppose us before the Emperor Tree is destroyed. This time the chaos of heaven and earth may start from the Ji family, because the seal of the Emperor Tree may be destroyed earlier than the seal of Xuantian Pavilion!"

Ji Xuanyan in white was speechless, because the prison officer holding the grass in his mouth and Master Yi Xuan both came to her!

It cannot be said that these two people are fence-sitters. Both of them are looking for the person they have been waiting for!

"Oh, you brought this upon yourself, I can't help you!"

Ji Xuanyan in black walked directly to the side, but she did not go to Yunshan Pavilion.

"Ji Qingyun, you are amazing. You convinced these two losers just by saying some inexplicable words!"

"They are not submitting to me, nor are they obeying my orders. They are all waiting for the destined person!"

Ji Xuanyan in white smiled coldly and whispered:

"The destined person is your son, but I'm very curious now, is Ji Yichen really your son?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this!

However, the masked man in white veil did not react at all!

Ji Xuanyan in white smiled again and said softly:

"Ji Yichen should be your grandson, right? Ji Wuluo, shouldn't you ask your son Ji Qingyun if Ji Yichen is really your grandson?"

Ji Xuanyan in white also shocked several people with her words!

Ji Xuanyan in black smiled softly and said:

"Oh, after hundreds of years, we still feel the same way. I can't bear to be separated from you! I also always feel that this person is different from the one in Laiqu Kongyan. I didn't expect you to think so too!"

On the top of Guyun Ridge, a sneer was heard!

"You are indeed the wisest person in the Ji family in the past five hundred years. However, you are still wrong. He is not my father, but myself!"

As the voice fell, four more people flew down from the top of Lonely Cloud Ridge. One of them walked into the Spruce Pavilion, and the people in the Spruce Pavilion walked out.

The four people were distributed in the four directions of east, west, south and north, and stood around Ji Xuanyan and others.

The newcomer in the Spruce Pavilion did not take off her veil!

"We are all members of the Ji family. I don't want to use force! I think the seniors don't want to do that either, right?"

Ji Xuanyan in white clothes looked at the people in the Yunshan Pavilion with some confusion. With her level of cultivation, she couldn't even tell which of the five people was real and which was fake. This was too weird!

"Hey, several seniors still have doubts in their hearts!"

After the masked man in white gauze in the Spruce Pavilion finished speaking, true energy surged around his body. The four people in the east, west, south and north instantly turned into four emperor tree shadows, and they were among the emperor tree shadows!
