Shen Yuan Ring

Chapter 154 The Return of Season 1

Upon hearing Yao Xinghe's question, Yao Yuyao answered without hesitation, "It's Dao Yi, which is why we didn't come out with him just now."

Before she could finish speaking, Ji Hai, who was standing to the side, interrupted her impatiently, like an ant on a hot pan, and asked, "What exactly happened to my son?"

"Uncle Hai, Dao Yi is safe and sound. Just as we were about to leave the secret realm, Dao Yi suddenly rushed off in one direction like an arrow, and then brought back a person. That person was seriously injured, like a candle in the wind, hanging by a thread."

Upon hearing what Yao Yuyao said, Ji Hai finally felt relieved. In the short time he had spent today, he had experienced a rollercoaster of emotions, and if he had to go through a few more of this, even his strong heart would be scared to death.

Not long after, Ji Xiaohu from the Ji family sped out of the secret realm like a bird leaving the forest, followed by Ji Zihan and the others who appeared one after another.

Surprisingly, a majestic iron-eating beast was following closely behind them. Its sharp claws, as if forged from steel, were tightly embracing an unconscious human. Ji Hai immediately recognized the seriously injured and unconscious boy as Ye Jun from Group Three.

Ji Daoyi and his Crescent Moon walked at the very back as if taking a leisurely stroll. When they saw Ji Hai, they rushed to his side like arrows released from a bow.

The moment these people appeared, Ji Hai used his mental power to discreetly scan them like a radar. He was surprised to find that everyone had made tremendous progress, especially Ji Xiaohu and Ji Zihan, who had almost all undergone a complete transformation and reached the Tendon Refining Realm.

What astonished him most was that his son, Ji Daoyi, had broken through to the Na Yuan Realm with a rocket-like breakthrough. Moreover, he could sense the slight ripples of spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from his son. It should be noted that spiritual energy can only be solidified and released after breaking through to the Divine Realm.

Although he had been extremely discreet, Ji Daoyi had still discovered him. However, the two of them were of one mind and tacitly chose to remain silent.

Finally, Ji Hai looked behind them and, seeing that no one else had come out, asked Ji Daoyi, "Daoyi, where's Puyu? Why didn't she come out with you? Did something happen to her?"

“Father, Puyu can’t come out for the time being. She is currently receiving the inheritance, so she is staying inside. She will come back on her own after the inheritance is completed.” Ji Daoyi did not hide anything, after all, there was no point in hiding this matter.

"What? You mean he inherited Qi Wei's legacy? Are you sure?"

Ji Hai raised his voice a few decibels. If Sun Puyue obtained the inheritance, then the Ji family would be the biggest winner of this secret realm trip. Although the price paid was a bit high, there is no training without sacrifice.

Upon hearing this, the other elders from the Divine Realm of various families also turned their gazes to Ji Daoyi. They wanted to confirm this as well, because it not only concerned who would inherit the legacy, but also their bet.

Ji Daoyi didn't understand why these people cared so much about a Divine Realm inheritance. In his opinion, Qi Wei's inheritance was not as good as Li Yifeng's sword inheritance. Moreover, he never intended to pass on his life's learning to outsiders. He just wanted to find someone with talent and good comprehension to possess!

Ji Daoyi shook his head. After all, all of Qi Wei's assets were with him, and even his remnant soul was being devoured by him.

The other elders breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him shake his head.

Upon hearing this, Ji Hai was initially disappointed, but ultimately, unwilling to give up, he asked again, "If it's not Qi Wei's inheritance, then whose is it?"

"It belongs to Master Qi Wei, and this secret realm was also created by his master!" Ji Daoyi unleashed a powerful move, leaving everyone speechless!

"what?"

"How can it be!"

"what!"

"..."

Not only the elders, but even the teenagers who entered the secret realm were bewildered.

Some even doubted whether they had actually entered the secret realm and participated in the trial level of the secret realm's inheritance?

How could they not know that there were other trials and inheritances?

"How could this be? Why didn't we discover any other trials of inheritance?"

"That's right! You couldn't have made that up, could you? Otherwise, why didn't we run into each other, but you did!"

Ji Daoyi didn't offer much explanation for everyone's questions, but simply asked, "Did you pass the test on the rooftop?"

"..."

"Does this have anything to do with us clearing the rooftop? It's already quite an achievement to climb even a few steps!"

But Ji Daoyi's next sentence left them all speechless.

"But I cleared it! And the Ascending Platform was the test that senior set up to accept disciples, and Qi Wei was just using it to set up his own test!"

Everyone was shocked; they never expected that Ji Daoyi would actually pass the Ascension Platform.

In fact, when Ji Daoyi said that this secret realm was created by Master Qi Wei, all the experts in the Divine Realm already believed it, because it is impossible to create a secret realm with only the cultivation level of the Divine Realm!

Moreover, when Qi Wei suddenly appeared, he displayed alchemy and array formation skills. Without inheritance, it would be impossible for a rogue cultivator to possess these skills!

What surprised everyone was that the inheritance Qi Wei obtained was actually in the secret realm that Qi Wei himself revealed!

"Since you cleared the level, why didn't you receive the inheritance, but instead got a rough jade?" Ji Hai asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Of course, I didn't want to pursue the path of swordsmanship, so I gave it up! And among all of us, only Puyu practices swordsmanship, so I recommended her to my senior."

Listening to Ji Daoyi speak so matter-of-factly, as if this swordsmanship inheritance were something insignificant!

It also made many people regretful, thinking that if they had been able to pass the test and not give up halfway, the sword-making tradition might have been theirs!

You should know that there are very few people in the entire Daoist City who know swordsmanship, let alone have a swordsmanship lineage!

Before long, the passage that opened the secret realm gradually closed!

Shocked, their journey to the secret realm was over, and their most important task now was to determine the winner of the bet!

Yan Yi and the other elders exchanged glances, as if they had secretly reached some kind of agreement!

"Now that the secret realm passage is closed, it also means the end of this competition for the inheritance! Let's gather our younger generation together to confirm whether anyone has obtained Qi Wei's inheritance! Then we'll determine who won this contest!"

“That’s right. If none of our younger generation inherits Qi Wei’s legacy, then we’ll see which family’s younger generation gains the most this time!”

Before long, they gathered all the juniors who had participated in the secret realm training together, but to their disappointment, no one had obtained Qi Wei's inheritance!

The way everyone looked at Ji Daoyi was a mix of mockery and regret!

However, Ji Daoyi did not show any disappointment, as if he did not care about that so-called inheritance!

Like everyone else, Ji Hai felt regret that his son had missed out on passing on the family business!
