Sentient Ghost-devouring Armor

For the first time, Ji Hong's expression changed. He waved his sleeves, brushed away Ji Liuguang's sword, and closed his eyes slightly. He, under the flow of Xuan Qi, sensed the phantom of the Heart Fire that slowly appeared in Ji Quexue's Divine Palace acupoint.

The Heart Fire was attached to the soul. Once it burned, it would manifest the phantom of the flame in her Divine Palace, and absorb the essence of heaven, earth, sun, and the moon to refine it into xuan energy. This energy was the foundation of spiritual cultivation.

Ji Liuguang was also stunned in place, with a trace of regret in his heart.

Although he had some sympathy for Ji Quexue, considering how she was a beautiful sister from the clan, but now that she had ignited her Heart Fire, Ji Liuguang couldn't wait to give himself a few tight slaps. If only he had been fast and killed Ji Quexue directly … he definitely wouldn't have had to deal with such a variable.

"Quexue, you actually …"

Xu Lian'er's eyes lit up with incomparable surprise. She hugged Ji Quexue who was kneeling on the ground, murmuring in a low voice.

People who had their Heart Fire ignited were extremely rare, no matter where they were from. There were hundreds of thousands of residents in Taichu, but only less than 100 people had successfully ignited their Heart Fire. This figure was enough to stress on its rarity.

Ji Hong opened his eyes, took a deep look at Ji Quexue on the ground, and said solemnly, "The flame is vigorous and stable; sensitive to the sensation of Xuan Qi, it should be a Grade 6 Heart Fire sequence!"

As soon as those words came out, Xu Lian'er and Li Liuguang froze on the spot. But even more astonished were the ten elite guards of the Ji family standing behind Ji Hong who had expressions of extreme shock.

Grade 6!

"How is this possible? There are only a few Grade 7 in Taichu! Not to mention the even rarer Grade 6 Heart Fire!" Xu Lian'er hugged Ji Quexue tightly, disbelief still coloring her face. "The dazzling eldest son, Ji Yuenian, was the only possessor of the rare Grade 6 Heart Fire sequence in the ancient city of Taichu in the past hundreds of years, and Quexue seems to be no different from him!"

At the age of 6, Ji Yuenian had ignited the Grade 6 Heart Fire, and was ranked in the primary Xuan realm. At the age of 8, he had entered the upper Xuan realm, and at the age of 15, he had reached the half-step passage of the True Dao Realm, overpowering the bloodline descendants of the major cultivation families.

Although the Grade 6 Heart Fire was not too rare in the huge Taiyu Ancient Sect; however, it most certainly was a dazzling sight to behold in Taichu!

Ji Hong bent down and helped Ji Quexue up, composed his expression, and said, "Quexue, how do you feel?"

Ji Quexue pursed her lips and fiercely pushed Ji Hong away, raised her tearful face, and said word by word, "Aren't you going to kill me and my mother? I don't need your showy concern!"

"Quexue!" Ji Hong's expression darkened. "I am your father."

[ED: Lol! Jedi 101!]

"Brazen Quexue! How dare you offend the family head!" Ji Liuguang could barely regain his senses, the fire of jealousy in his heart swelled, and he was so dazed that he drew his long sword and attacked Ji Quexue again!

Chop!

Snap!

The long sword shattered, Ji Liuguang was directly thrown more than ten feet away by Ji Hong's slap, breaking a pillar in the outer room.

This was because Ji Hong was being merciful, otherwise, with his cultivation at the True Dao Realm, he wouldn't have even needed a palm to end Ji Liuguang.

The Ji family's guards were all silent, and they dared not make the slightest sound.

Ji Hong made out a smile and said, "Quexue, now that Nian'er is gone, you are my only daughter. The Ji family will naturally focus on cultivating you. From now on, I will groom you as a true direct descendant of the patriarch's line. How about that?"

After saying this, he glanced at Xu Lian'er casually, the meaning behind the gesture was self-evident!

Xu Lian'er was silent for a moment. She sighed secretly, and stepped forward to hold Ji Quexue's little face, saying softly, "Quexue, you now have ignited a Grade 6 Heart Fire sequence, the position, the one that He Xuan Shangzhen gave to Ji's family, it must now belong to you."

Ji Quexue sobbed. "Mother, he really wanted to kill us just now, and he did not even acknowledge me as his own daughter!"

"Sigh, you just ignited your Heart Fire, so let's take a good rest first." Xu Lian'er took Ji Quexue in her arms, raised her head and gave Ji Hong a wink.

Ji Hong nodded, and left the room without a word with many of the Ji family's elite guards.

Xu Lian'er said in a low voice, "Quexue, my original plan was to quietly send you to the Xu family, but now the Heart Fire you've ignited is of the Grade 6 sequence. No one in the Ji family dares to touch you. The accusations of this crime can no longer be placed on our heads, this crisis has been resolved."

Ji Quexue buried her head deeply in Xu Lian'er's arms and could not help but weep.

…

The ancient city of Taichu was majestic and vast. It was one of the nineteen ancient cities under the rule of Taiyu Ancient Sect. There were hundreds of thousands of human beings living in it, and they worshiped the God of the Taichu Lands.

Ji Yuenian stopped slowly, raising his head and looked at the magnificent city wall that was more than 20 meters away, with a translucent black light flowing around in his palm.

As the mountain ghost's yin energy accumulated in his soul was gradually absorbed and transformed by the spiritual fire, his cultivation base was also thoroughly consolidated, and he was only one step away from achieving the Xuan Sea. The Xuan energy of the Xuan Sea was much stronger than the Xuan energy he was using now.

"The Cultivation Manual Of The Secret Supernatural Power—Indestructible Body" was created by a Divine Monarch who entered the Dao of the Buddha. The various real formulas in it were all-encompassing, and there was a very basic auxiliary type of body protection magical powers, which required a pure ghost Qi to perform refinement.

With Ji Yuenian's cultivation base at this time, apart from the simplest Azure Spiritual shield, only this body protection supernatural power could be cultivated.

Sentient Ghost-devouring Armour.

Although this supernatural skill could be cultivated through the use of ordinary origin ghost energy, Ji Yuenian used an extremely rare origin ghost energy, and even more bafflingly, he added the "Soul Ashes" that he shed, in it. Making this an auxiliary type body protection divine skill that underwent all kinds of incredible and mysterious changes.

The origin ghost energy used to refine the Sentient Ghost-devouring Armour was collected from the Mountain God statues and the mutated ghosts from the Mao Cao village in exchange.

The most terrifying thing about the Sentient Ghost-Devouring Armor was that it was an auxiliary skill of the growth type. Once the training was completed, as long as the origin ghost energy was searched and refined into it in the future, its protective ability would continue to grow. It was also due to this property, there was the word "Sentient" in it.

"The Cultivation Manual Of The Secret Supernatural Power—Indestructible Body" was an amazing and brilliant self-invented divine skill of the Divine Monarch, and its depth could not be predicted in any way.

With the flick of his long fingers, a black light spread upwardly from his arm, and in a few moments, a faint translucent ghost armor wrapped around his whole body. It appeared alive, flickering with profound runes and gray aura.

Apparently, this Sentient Ghost-Devouring Armor made from the origin ghost energy and "Soul Ashes" was much stronger than the Sentient Ghost-Devouring Armor recorded in the Indestructible Body Manual.
