Shi Zhongjian was the simple and honest golden-haired youth who called himself the prince of the Golden Lion Race.
When Ji Tianxing first entered the Southern Desolate Swamp, he traveled with Shi Zhongjian to find the broken divine sword.
They explored the Sin Dragon Pond and encountered an Azure Dragon. They even went through the Rainbow Forest and were ambushed by the Spiritual Insects Race.
In the end, they met the Earth Spirit Race in Carefree Mountain and found the broken sword, the Burial Of Heaven.
The second time Ji Tianxing saw Shi Zhongjian was on the way to the Xiao Clan.
At that time, Shi Zhongjian and his followers were attacked by two Soul Realm demon beasts. They were seriously injured and almost lost their lives.
Ji Tianxing saved Shi Zhongjian's life and found that Shi Zhongjian had obtained the Azure Dragon from the Sin Dragon Pond.
Now, he was going to the Vermillion Bird Mountain Range to retrieve the Heavenly Handle Godfire Cauldron.
Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that the sect that had guarded the divine cauldron for generations on Sunless Peak was actually the Hidden God Sect!
"This is too much of a coincidence! If this Hidden God Sect is Shi Zhongjian's Hidden God Sect, then I will definitely be able to see him again … "
Ji Tianxing muttered to himself. Shi Zhongjian's simple and honest appearance appeared in his mind and he couldn't help but smile.
The Vermillion Bird Mountain Range was located in the southwest of Central State, between the human and demon territories.
Even with the little black dragon's flying speed, it would take about ten days to travel from the Imperial Court to the Vermillion Bird Mountain Range.
The Vermillion Bird Mountain Range was very vast and desolate. No one could be seen for many years.
Without a map, ordinary martial practitioners couldn't enter the depths of the mountain range.
Moreover, the terrain of the Vermillion Bird Mountain Range was very steep and there were many powerful demons and beasts. The environment was very dangerous.
An expert like Ji Tianxing wouldn't be able to find Sunless Peak if he rashly entered the Vermillion Bird Mountain Range and wasn't familiar with the terrain.
Moreover, he would encounter all kinds of trouble and danger.
Therefore, he took out the map of the Vermillion Bird Mountain Range given to him by the Emperor and carefully observed it for a long time.
He memorized the entire map and engraved it in his mind before putting it away.
Then, he placed the broken sword on the black dragon's back and entered the sword world.
Yun Yao, Qian Yue, and the Jinshan King were all in seclusion in Peaceful Soil City, constantly increasing their strength.
However, Ji Tianxing did not enter the sword world to visit them.
He flew above the city, crossing thousands of li of mountains and rivers. He arrived at the depths of the vast mountain range and stopped above a valley.
This was a deep valley, with a radius of two hundred miles. The valley was filled with all kinds of strange flowers and plants, and a dense forest.
In the middle of the valley stood an ancient, dark green tree that was thousands of feet tall, like a giant peak.
This ancient tree was incomparably huge. It was at least three hundred feet thick. At first glance, one could tell that it was a spirit tree that had lived for thousands of years.
Hundreds of thousands of branches extended from the treetop that was thousands of feet tall, and it was covered with green and translucent leaves.
The vast canopy of the trees covered the entire valley within a radius of two hundred miles.
This astonishingly huge ancient tree was actually the family treasure of the Duanmu Family. It was a high-grade Soul-level magic treasure, the Azure Light Treasure Tree!
Ever since Ji Tianxing killed Duanmu Huang and obtained the Azure Light Treasure Tree, he rarely used this magic treasure. He only used it for healing.
As his strength increased, the chances of him using the Azure Light Treasure Tree became fewer and fewer.
But now, the Azure Light Treasure Tree had a new use and effect.
Because it had become Forefather San Jue's main body!
More than a month ago, Ji Tianxing used the Wind Thunder Soul Devouring Technique to control Forefather San Jue's soul, turning him into a slave.
Unfortunately, Forefather San Jue's physical body had been destroyed, and only his soul was left. He could not unleash much power.
If Forefather San Jue went into seclusion to recuperate and reform his physical body, it would take at least a few hundred years.
This was obviously not realistic.
Therefore, Ji Tianxing had a sudden idea to merge Forefather San Jue's soul with the Azure Light Treasure Tree.
This way, Forefather San Jue would be able to possess his main body and recover his strength in a short period of time.
Moreover, he would be able to unleash the power of the Azure Light Treasure Tree and possess powerful healing and recovery abilities.
Once this method succeeded, Ji Tianxing would have a powerful slave with powerful healing abilities.
Ji Tianxing stood in the sky above the valley and stared at the Azure Light Treasure Tree for a while before seeing the result.
After more than a month of seclusion, Forefather San Jue had successfully merged with the Azure Light Treasure Tree.
Now, the Azure Light Treasure Tree was Forefather San Jue, and Forefather San Jue was the treasure tree.
The two had merged into one, complementing each other and becoming stronger.
Seeing this, Ji Tianxing revealed a gratified expression and asked, "Forefather San Jue, how is your cultivation going?"
Forefather San Jue was cultivating, trying his best to increase his strength.
Suddenly hearing Ji Tianxing's voice, the entire treasure tree trembled, and the thousands of branches rustled.
Then, Forefather San Jue's voice came from the treasure tree, and his tone was filled with respect and fear as he said, "Master, I have successfully merged with the treasure tree and recovered eighty percent of my strength.
This old servant kneels and thanks Master for not killing me. Thank you Master for bestowing this old servant with the Green Light Treasure Tree as my body, allowing this old servant to benefit from this disaster and obtain a new life! "
Ji Tianxing was very satisfied with Forefather San Jue's reaction, and asked despite knowing the answer, "You were originally a half-step Immortal Soul Stage expert, able to call yourself an ancestor overseas and live a carefree life.
Now that you have become my slave, not only do you not have any complaints, you even want to thank me? Why is that? "
The treasured tree gently swayed its branches, bowed down and made a respectful gesture, and answered, "Master, this old servant had eyes but failed to see. I dared to provoke you, so I deserved to die.
Master only needs a single thought to completely destroy this old servant. However, master is benevolent and spared my life. This is a great favor.
I'm still alive now, and with the Azure Light Treasure Tree as my body, I have a lifespan of tens of thousands of years. This is something I didn't dare to imagine in the past.
"Furthermore, master, you are the number one genius in the world. In the future, you will definitely be able to transcend the cage and enter the Martial Dao's Divine Realm.
"I can follow you and serve you. In the future, I will have the chance to see a wider world. This is my lifelong dream …
It is precisely because of this that I am grateful to you. "
The corners of Ji Tianxing's mouth curled up as he said in a playful tone, "Forefather San Jue, there's no need to pretend with me. I won't fall for it.
To tell you the truth, no matter how much you hate me, it's useless.
"Don't think that you can make me lower my guard by pretending to be loyal and obedient. You will have a chance to escape in the future.
That's impossible. Don't even think about it!
"As long as my soul isn't destroyed, I can detonate the divine lightning with a thought and destroy your soul.
"Don't dream of dispelling that divine lightning unless you can reach the Ninth Tribulation realm!
"However, with me around, as long as I'm unwilling, you will never be able to reach that realm.
"Therefore, if you are smart enough, stay by my side obediently and be a loyal lackey!
