Ji Xian watched the struggling Guo Xinyi for a while before turning around and approaching Xia Lihua and Xiao Yueyin.
“It’s all done. Let’s go find something else to do.”
“…”
Xiao Yueyin stared at him speechlessly while thinking, Is he a child or something? Why’s he always so eager to find something new to do?
“Shouldn’t you stay here to watch over Xinyi just in case something goes wrong?” She asked.
“That’s not necessary.” Ji Xian shook his head, “The Formatic will turn itself off once she becomes unconscious so there’s no need for me to be here.”
“Unconscious?” Xiao Yueyin repeated in surprise, “She has to keep facing the Rejection until she passes out? Isn’t that a little extreme?”
Ji Xian lifted an eyebrow, “Why would it be? It’s not like her life will be in jeopardy. If she wants the chance to break through to the Ninth Life Destruction, she must hone her Dao Heart to its absolute limits.”
“This isn’t a one-time thing. Every minute that Xinyi is awake, she will spend her time in the Psuedo Rejection Field.”
“But…” Xiao Yueyin wanted to protest but she also realized that Ji Xian’s strictness was for the good of Guo Xinyi so she hesitated.“Yue…yin. It’s…fine. I can...do...this.” Guo Xinyi’s tired voice can be heard from inside the Formatic.
She was able to hear their entire conversation. She naturally wasn’t going to back out so easily. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! How many people throughout history can say they’ve completed Ninefalls?
Guo Xinyi was determined to prove herself, to be worthy of being the Third Yin Pavilion Master! She will not disappoint her Master who had given her this position.
Xiao Yueyin sighed and nodded. She also understood that nothing will come without effort in this world. Guo Xinyi’s determination has also given her the strength and resolve to push beyond Ninefalls.
Xiao Yueyin had already begun to prepare herself for the Tenth Life Destruction. All she needed was a little more time.
Ji Xian indifferently glanced at Guo Xinyi and said, “The Formatic will turn off when you pass out, and when you wake up, it will turn itself back on. If you step out of that area around you, the Formatic will dissipate. I will only give you this one chance to train your Will, I will not make another Psuedo Rejection Field.”
“I hope you make good use of this moment.”
“Thank…you,”
Guo Xinyi closed her eyes and said nothing more.
…
Xiao Yueyin quietly stared at Ji Xian. She had never seen him like this before. He was behaving like a strict teacher who cares about his students but at the same time, he was indifferent to whether or not they would succeed.
So there are also moments when he can be serious…
Oddly enough, she found this side of him quite attractive as he appeared more mature than usual.
Standing beside Xiao Yueyin, was Xia Lihua. She wasn’t too surprised by how Ji Xian was acting.
She suddenly thought about those five children back in the Mortal Haven World. Ji Xian had also treated them this way but not as direct. He had mentioned that he would secretly manipulate things behind the scenes on occasion to make matters harder for them on their journey.
After she and Ji Xian are gone, those five brats are going to be the new pillars of the Mortal Haven World so Xia Lihua saw nothing wrong with his methods.
They should’ve arrived in the Northern Continent months ago, I wonder how they’re doing… they only just returned from a long trip but Ji Xian already made them go on another one. He can be quite harsh.
Xia Lihua shook her head, she had Wu Long look after them before she left. They should be fine. Besides, this was necessary. She and Ji Xian would eventually ascend. Although he hadn’t expressed any interest in doing so, once Ji Xian no longer finds anything that can interest him in the Lower World, he will leave.
She understood him well enough to know this.
Xia Lihua looked at him thoughtfully for a while before asking, “When did you learn the Three Tongue Gist?”
She knew Ji Xian could bypass the Three Tongue GIst to enter the Formatic but not that he could make it. She had been together with him the entire time but she had never seen him actively study it. He would, at most, look at them whenever they come across a new Formatic but that was the extent of it.
“When?” Ji Xian scratched his chin, “I guess when we discovered the first one in the ocean near Solitude City.”
Xia Lihua’s eyes widened in disbelief.
He had already learned the Three Tongue Gist the first time he came across it!
Ji Xian calmly smiled after seeing her expression.
“Didn’t you already learn of my feats from those Northern Continent Ancestors? Why are you surprised?” He asked.
“…Indeed.” Xia Lihua calmed down. Ji Xian can even learn to use Nether Water from watching the Nether race so it shouldn’t be a wonder that he could easily learn the Three Tongue Gist.
Xiao Yueyin was listening to their conversation quietly. She was also shocked after learning that Ji Xian can use the Three Tongue Gist. Being able to solve it and being able to use it had two totally different meanings! She’ll need to remember to tell the Sect Master about this when she has the chance.
Northern Continent Ancestors?
Xiao Yueyin’s eyebrows furrowed.
Northern Continent… there are no continents in Mortal Desolate. What are they talking about?
Xiao Yueyinlooked at Ji Xian and Xia Lihua curiously.
There were still many things that she doesn’t know about the couple.
Her lips slightly parted. She was hesitating on whether or not she should ask them.
Would they even tell me?
…
At the moment of Xiao Yueyin’s hesitation, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from somewhere in the Ardent Yin Sect.
The three of them turned toward the direction of the Core Yin Pavilion.
“This… someone’s having a breakthrough!” Xiao Yueyin exclaimed.
Ji Xian softly chuckled. The person who was breaking through was obviously Fang Yu!
After being in a coma for so many years, and having to constantly fight against the deathly and decaying nature of the Nether Water, she had managed to turn a misfortune into a blessing!
Thanks to Fang Yu’s resilient Will, a number of rare herbs that she had been fed during her coma, and Shao Qinglian’s continual transfer of True Essence into her body, she had managed to consolidate her Core to a terrifying degree in the process.
Along with the assistance of the potent pill from Ji Xian, it would’ve been a surprise if she hadn’t broken through.
“I guess it’s about time we make a visit over there.”
