Unknowingly, more than a month had passed.
Fifty days had passed in the outside world, but Ji Tianxing had been cultivating in the secret chamber for more than eight months.
After this period of seclusion, his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, increasing by two times.
He had already cultivated the fourth level of the Sword Soul Dao to the greater success stage, and his Primordial Spirit was extremely powerful.
His strength had reached the peak of the seventh level of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
As long as he broke through a bottleneck, he would be able to step into the eighth level of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
At that time, he would truly be invincible under the Tribulation Stage!
Originally, he wanted to cultivate in seclusion in the secret chamber and strive to break through the bottleneck.
He wanted to reach the eighth level of the Primordial Spirit Realm before leaving Sacred Seal Mountain.
However, someone knocked on the door of the secret chamber early in the morning.
Ji Tianxing was awakened. After finishing his cultivation and walking out of the secret chamber, he realized that the person knocking on the door was a guard from the East Court.
The golden-armored guard bowed respectfully and handed over a jade slip with both hands. "Young Master Ji, this is a communication jade slip for you.
Before your seclusion, you instructed me to wake you up if I received this jade slip. "
Ji Tianxing took the Communication Jade Slip and looked at it. He saw a mysterious imprint on it.
In the imprint, there was a towering mountain peak, like a giant sword that stood between heaven and earth.
On top of the mountain peak, there was a vast sea of clouds, and a bright moon hung in the sky.
Back then, the identity token that Zhi Bai took out had such an imprint on it, representing the Pillar of Heavens Mountains.
Ji Tianxing waved his hand, indicating for the guard to leave. Then, he used his consciousness to enter the jade slip and read the message inside.
"Master, this subordinate awaits your arrival in Huiye City. There is an elder who wishes to meet you. Please come and meet him."
There was only one sentence in the jade slip. It was concise and to the point, just like Zhi Bai's tone and style.
Back then, when Ji Tianxing returned to Sacred Seal Mountain from the Glacier Divine Mine, he had asked Zhi Bai to wait at the foot of the mountain.
The two of them had agreed that if there was anything important, they would communicate through the jade slip.
"Zhi Bai, this fellow, actually ran to Huiye City?
An elder of his wants to meet me? What elder? Could it be a descendant of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains? "
Ji Tianxing put away the jade slip, frowned and pondered for a moment. Then, he made up his mind.
He walked out of the Heaven Saint Palace East Courtyard and left the God Sealing Mountain, rushing towards Huiye City at lightning speed.
Huiye City was the closest bustling city to Mount God Bestowment. The distance between the two was more than ten thousand kilometers.
At such a close distance, Ji Tianxing only used two hours to reach the city gates of Huiye City.
Huiye City was situated in the middle of a mountain range, atop a towering mountain peak that was over three thousand meters tall.
This city had a radius of a hundred miles and had a history of over two thousand years.
The black city walls and the majestic city gates exuded an ancient aura.
Ji Tianxing passed through the heavily guarded city gate and was inspected by the city guards. He paid a few spirit stones before he was allowed to enter the city.
As soon as he entered the city, he walked on a straight and wide road.
At this moment, a young man dressed in cotton clothes and wearing a bamboo hat quickly caught up with him.
"Master, please come with me."
Hearing this familiar voice, Ji Tianxing turned his head and saw an unfamiliar face under the bamboo hat.
On the surface, the face was dark yellow, like an ordinary person or a woodcutter.
However, Ji Tianxing recognized that pair of deep and sharp eyes. It was Zhi Bai.
"Heh, you still want to disguise yourself? Why are you so mysterious? "
Ji Tianxing revealed a smile and communicated with him through voice transmission.
Zhi Bai led him into a small alley. As they shuttled through the complicated alleys, he explained, "We, the people of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains, always pay attention to concealment and concealment. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for us to survive until today."
Ji Tianxing frowned and asked doubtfully, "Zhi Bai, what do you mean? Could it be that there are some experts and forces that have been dealing with the people of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains? "
"This matter … you will naturally know in the future." Zhi Bai replied. Obviously, he did not dare to reveal any information.
Not long after, the two of them came to the end of a dark and damp alley and entered an old house.
The house was not big. The courtyard and the layout of the house were ordinary and did not attract any attention.
It was probably because the house had been empty for too many years that weeds grew in the courtyard.
After years of disrepair, the roof tiles were broken and some places even leaked water.
Zhi Bai brought Ji Tianxing into a simple and unadorned study.
The door was half closed. A thin white-haired old man wearing a black robe was standing in front of the window, quietly looking at the flowerbed outside.
The old man's back was facing the door of the study. Only his thin back and long white hair could be seen.
Zhi Bai entered the study and stood still. He respectfully bowed and said, "Fourth Elder, I have brought the guest."
The black-robed old man had probably been waiting for a long time. When he heard this, he immediately turned around and looked at Ji Tianxing with a burning gaze.
He did not open his mouth to speak. His pair of bright eyes stared at Ji Tianxing. He actually lost his mind and stood there blankly.
However, his face was covered by a black iron mask. His expression could not be seen.
Ji Tianxing was also silent. He quietly looked at him.
After a long time, the black-robed old man came back to his senses. He emotionally sighed and said, "Similar! Really too similar! If not for this old man's mental preparation, I'm afraid that this old man would have personally come! "
His voice was trembling. His eyes were complicated. There was a bit of nostalgia, reminiscence and sadness.
Seeing his reaction, Ji Tianxing could vaguely guess the reason.
Soon after, the black-robed old man calmed his emotions. He cupped his hands towards Ji Tianxing and said, "This old man, Feng Ping, greets Young Master Ji."
Ji Tianxing nodded his head and cupped his hands, "Elder Feng is too polite."
"Young Master Ji, please sit down and talk." Feng Ping extended his hand and gestured for him to sit.
After Ji Tianxing sat down, Zhi Bai stood guard by his side.
At this time, Feng Ping added, "Young Master Ji, you should still call this old man Fourth Elder."
"En." Ji Tianxing nodded and said, "Fourth Elder, everyone here is on the same side. Can you take off your mask and show your true face?"
Feng Ping was startled. He hurriedly took off the mask on his face and laughed self-mockingly, "This old man lost his composure for a moment. I've made a fool of myself in front of Young Master Ji."
After he took off the mask, a weather-beaten face with an aura of vicissitudes was revealed.
Ji Tianxing could clearly see that there was a deep scar on his forehead and the left side of his face. It was like a scar that was cut by a sharp blade.
Even so, Feng Ping's face did not show any malevolence. There was still some gentleness and benevolence.
After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Feng Ping began to talk business.
"Young Master Ji, this old man came to Huiye City on the orders of the great immortal to discuss some matters with you face to face.
This old man knows that you possess the Sword of Burial Of Heaven. It seems that you have also inherited the Sword Dao legacy of the great immortal.
