A lone boat sailed through the clouds and mist towards Anping City.

  Ji Ning lay inside the boat, leaning against the stern, his gaze sweeping out to see the endless land below.

  "Uncle, father, mother's great enemy cannot be unreported." Ji Ning thought, the scroll left by his father had the names of enemies on it. The murderer was three people at that time. The mastermind was named 'Winter Seven', a rather strange name, but Winter Seven's grandfather was a Yuan Shen Taoist.

  Ji Ning was well aware of his own strength, killing a single Xuan Li True Body wouldn't be anything. After all, even the Wanxiang True Bodies had their own stunning and exceptional individuals, such as that Snow Red Clothes, he himself didn't have much confidence in dealing with them. As for those lofty Yuan Shen Dao people, they were probably just one mouthful of yuan fire away from turning him into ashes, his soul scattering and fleeing.

  Yuán Huǒ... is a means that all Yuán Shén Dào people possess. If one is not a Yuán Shén Dào person, then they will not have it. Just like 'Wàn Xiàng Fǎ Xiāng' is unique to Wàn Xiàng Zhēn Rén.

  "There were three culprits, and Dong Qi was the mastermind. The other two, Yu Cong and Shui Yi, were accomplices." Ji Ning thought to himself, according to his father's scroll, Yu Cong and Shui Yi seemed to be following Dong Qi like servants, and with a single order from Dong Qi, they immediately took action.

  Strictly speaking, those who took action were Yu Tong and Shui Yi. Dong Qi was the one who gave the order.

  "Winter Seventh! Yu Cong! Shui Yi! All three of you should die!" Ji Ning's eyes flashed with a fierce light, then he began to think, "My great hatred can wait for now. My foundation is too shallow, and I don't even know what Winter Seventh and the other two are capable of right now, or where they are. I have no way to take revenge."

  "Let's go to Anping City first. Find a sect and join it." Ji Ning thought to himself.

  Ji Ning is not an idiot.

  His parents had also said that after Ji Ning went out to make a name for himself, he would find a powerful master to follow. After all, being alone in the outside world was very dangerous, and having a powerful backer made all the difference. It was difficult for ordinary Purple Mansion cultivators to join a sect, but Ji Ning's exceptional talent made him fully qualified to become a disciple of a powerful master.

  It's clear that Ji Ning could have joined a powerful sect, but he wouldn't take the initiative to suffer alone.

  "I'll join a sect. Then I can learn the magical powers from the sect, and even learn the top-notch Qi-refining techniques." Ji Ning thought to himself that Tong Yu could learn 'Fa Tian Xiang Di' in Snow Dragon Mountain, as long as he chose a sect more powerful than Snow Dragon Mountain, Ji Ning believed that there should be magical powers within the sect.

  "With the help of the sect...my strength can be greatly enhanced, my vision is broader, and I have the capital to avenge."

  Ji Ning didn't want to lose his life for the sake of revenge.

  Just as parents had hoped. Revenge is one thing, but one's own life is more important. One still has to make a name that will be known throughout the land. Even if it means meeting Lord Cui again in the future.

  "It's a pity that my strength is not enough, otherwise it would be a good thing to enter the Dragon Guard directly." Ji Ning shook his head, entering the Dragon Guard was too difficult, even Mu Xiaozhen didn't enter until the late stage of Wanxiang. If he were to enter, even if he really passed in the end, as soon as he was checked and found out that he had used the 'Chi Ming Nine Heavens Seventh Layer' divine ability to pluck stars with his hand, he would definitely be discovered to have problems.

  The Divine Star Plucking Hand is actually his trump card. Ji Ning did not want to rely on this move to enter the Dragon Guards.

  ……

  "First enter the Men's Gate, and then use the gate to enhance your strength. After that, you can enter the Yinglong Guard. The divine power and law of the Yinglong Guard are even more comprehensive. Compared to the An Ninghou Mansion, it is much stronger." Ji Ning nodded, wanting to stand at the peak, but blindly rushing forward was really stupid, without a powerful cultivation method, one could not even break through to the Wanxiang stage, let alone the Yuanshen stage.

  The more precious the cultivation method is, the less it will be passed on outside. Once it's passed on outside, the sect will hunt you down and kill you!

  But oneself is exceptionally talented... First enter Menpai, then enter Yinglongwei, that is the proper way.

  Practicing all the way, the three of us have our own masters. The spirit of Shuifu Cave Mansion even suggested that Ji Ning should learn from many masters and absorb the essence of various schools, which would be more helpful in becoming a great master of the Three Realms in the future.

  "Uncle Bai." Ji Ning said.

  The white water on the boat turned its head towards Ji Ning.

  "You said, this time I go to Anping City, is it first to visit the master and then see Beishan Baiwei? Or go see Beishan Baiwei first?" Ji Ning said, "This person has treated me with kindness, let me go to Anping City must go see him."

  "Beishan Baimei?" Bai Shui Ze spat out the words, "This person has an extraordinary background and is also good at making friends. Since he said so, then go see him. After all, Beishan Baimei is very familiar with Ancheng City and should be familiar with many sects as well. He can help you choose which sect to join."

  Ji Ning nodded slightly.

  That makes sense.

  After all, among the various sects on this vast land of Anping County, I am most familiar with Xuelong Mountain. As for the others, I don't know much about them. However, Xuelong Mountain is not considered top-notch in Anping County. The sects with immortals are the truly top-notch ones.

  ……

  Ji Ning's flying speed was not very fast, he flew for about 1-2 hours every day, and the other 3-4 hours were spent landing on the ground to find a place to cultivate, rest, and observe the Nuwa diagram, so that he could still travel 100,000 miles per day.

  Wow.

  On the sixth day after leaving Yanshan, Ji Ning steered a boat through the clouds and fog.

  "Huh?" Ji Ning suddenly felt a strong surge of energy, and involuntarily turned his head to look. In the distance, a majestic large ship was crushing through the air, creating waves. On the ship were many beautiful women with flowers in their hair, and on the second deck sat a noble young man with pale skin. Beside him were three beauties massaging his legs and shoulders. The young noble wore crimson clothes, held a glass of fine wine, and glanced in Ji Ning's direction before ignoring him.

  "Look at him, dressed in animal hides, I don't know what kind of barbaric place he's from, completely uncivilized."

  "It doesn't look like it's from a major tribe."

  Those beautiful women with flowers in their hair on the bow of that big ship were talking to Chao Jingning.

  Wow!

  The big ship whizzed away and soon disappeared from Ji Ning's line of sight.

  "That big ship is indeed fast, it's probably driven by the True Man of Ten Thousand Images." Ji Ning still lay on his own boat, which was still moving forward at a pace of 10 million miles per day. In fact, through flying treasure, one can also roughly infer the strength.

  "It's really getting closer to Anping City. It's easier to encounter immortal cultivators, that big ship just now was the sixth wave I've encountered."

  Ji Ning sighed with emotion.

  Ancheng City is the core of the vast land of Ancheng Prefecture, where immortals and demons gather. All major tribes, sects, and religions will set up a branch in Ancheng City. Many scattered cultivators also like to gather in Ancheng City, because here immortals and demons gather, and various treasures are abundant, which can be exchanged.

  Moreover, Ancheng City has good public security, and you can practice with peace of mind.

  "It's time for a rest."

  Ji Ning's mind stirred and the boat immediately plunged downwards, flying directly towards the desolate mountains and forests below.

  Ji Ning's current strength makes it difficult for him to encounter danger while traveling outside. The only ones who can truly render him helpless are the Yuanshen Dao people, but aren't they all cultivating in seclusion within their own caves? Even if they occasionally come out and pass by, the Yuanshen Dao people either put on a grand show or appear and disappear like dragons, with only their heads visible but not their tails.

  "Huh." The boat charged into the mountain forest and suddenly disappeared. Ji Ning and Bai Shuizhen both floated down to the ground.

  "Let's rest here for today," said Ji Ning, casually tossing out three array flags, which fell to the ground in the distance and then disappeared without a trace.

  If you're outside, you can't see Ji Ning and Bai Shui Ze inside at all.

  Ji Ning sat down cross-legged and began to meditate quietly, while Shi Hai was visualizing the picture of Nüwa.

  Bai Shuizhe also took out a scroll and placed it there. Looking at the dense characters on the scroll, this scroll was indeed the "Formation Nine Volumes" scroll. Ji Ning had the original "Formation Nine Volumes". He then used a simple technique 'Water Seal Technique' to create two duplicate scrolls. One remained within the tribe, while the other was given to Bai Shuizhe.

  Bai Shu is extremely well-versed in formation techniques, even surpassing Nong Zidao's achievements and far exceeding Ji Ning's. It's just that there weren't any good formation technique books to learn from in the past. Now that he has obtained "Formation Techniques in Nine Volumes", he naturally studies it every day.

  The sky is brightening.

  Ji Ning then stood up.

  "Uncle Bai." Ji Ning looked at Bai Shuizhe who was still crouching beside him, staring at the scroll. As soon as he heard Ji Ning's call, he immediately jumped up, and the scroll was quickly rolled up.

  "Let's go." Ji Ning walked directly onto the boat, and Bai Shuizhe followed.

  Whoosh!

  The boat immediately took off swiftly and continued heading towards Anping City.

  "Huh?" Just as they had flown dozens of miles, the boat suddenly stopped. Ji Ning lowered his head to look downwards.

  "What's wrong?" Bai Shuizhe looked at Ji Ning.

  "There is fluctuation."

  Ji Ning lowered his head and gazed down at the mountain forest below, judging from the fluctuations in strength and general direction that it should be a Violet Palace cultivator engaging in battle. Immediately, he released his divine sense, which swiftly enveloped the mountain forest below. When Ji Ning had first broken through to the divine sense level, his divine sense could already envelop an area within a hundred miles of himself.

  Half a year has passed and his spiritual perception range has expanded slightly.

  ……

  Mountain forest.

  "We are the descendants of Meng!" A handsome and fair-skinned young man shouted angrily, beside him was a slender and extremely beautiful woman, and another sturdy-looking young man with a strong back. The three of them were desperately fighting back against their attackers, who were two men in white clothes.

  The two men in white robes cast their magic treasures, completely trapping the three of them.

  "The scum of Xuelong Mountain, once my father finds out, he will definitely kill you two scum." The handsome and fair-skinned young man said angrily.

  "If the two of you leave...the tribe won't take revenge for such a small matter. But if we die, my Meng family will definitely investigate to the end." The slender woman also shouted in anger and intimidation.

  Only that silly young man remained silent.

  The three of them were indeed members of the Meng clan, and the Meng clan was one of the top super-clans in the entire Anping Prefecture, even stronger than the Snow Dragon Mountain. However, as a top-notch super-clan... internal strife was also intense, with factions even within the Ji clan's Western City Castle, let alone this kind of super-clan. The three of them had average talent and were born into lowly positions within the clan, unable to gain attention, and could hardly learn the most advanced techniques. So after breaking through to the early stages of the Purple Mansion, they immediately set out together, wanting to head to Anping City and join a sect.

  Many disciples of large tribes also joined the door school, all of whom were dissatisfied with their own tribes.

  "Big brother, these three people's attire is indeed from the Meng family." The two men in white exchanged whispers, "Kill or not?"

  "You don't understand, the true status of the Meng family is high, with a large entourage of attendants, maids and guards. These three people in front of us are just low-ranking members of the Meng family. Kill them."

  "Good."

  Two men in white clothes immediately killed after a brief discussion.
