Chapter 182: Chapter 138: 300 Years Later

The next moment, everyone's gaze turned towards Yang Ji.

Yang Ji was slightly taken aback, appearing somewhat uncomfortable.

At that moment, Hao Yun sent a telepathic message, "Junior Brother, although you are just a Nascent Soul Cultivator and not even an official successor, you have obtained first place at the Sword Immortal Conference. Everyone already regards you as a Quasi-Daoist; their esteem for you surpasses that of the other true successors.

If you have any good treasures, feel free to share them with the crowd to reflect your status as a Quasi-Daoist."

Inwardly, Yang Ji felt extremely embarrassed. The very thing he feared had come to pass because, in reality, he was embarrassingly poor... Wait, suddenly, a burst of spiritual light surged toward him, unnoticed by the others.

Upon closer inspection, it was a small spirit mushroom—a 'Enlightenment Ganoderma', known for its life-extending properties. Even a single bite could clarify one's thoughts, maintain a state of unity between mind and nature, and easily enter a state of enlightenment.

This was an Enlightenment Ganoderma, indeed a top-tier spiritual object.

Yang Ji subtly shifted his gaze and noticed that the Enlightenment Ganoderma had been stealthily passed to him by Wang Tianli, who had clearly recognized Yang Ji's predicament.

"Junior Brother, take it and use it. You are now the first-place winner of the Sword Immortal Conference; you can't let yourself lose face," Wang Tianli said with a smile, sending his message telepathically.

"Thank you, Senior Brother. I'll surely return the favor threefold in the future," replied Yang Ji, filled with gratitude. Without drawing attention, he took out the Enlightenment Ganoderma and said with a smile, "Here, I have an Enlightenment Ganoderma. Please everyone, have a taste!"

With a flick of his wrist, he activated his Sword Qi, instantly splitting the Ganoderma into thirty portions, which landed in front of everyone.

"Enlightenment Ganoderma, this is truly a fine item," the crowd commented, their eyes lighting up. To be able to present such an item proved a substantial foundation, and everyone was convinced of Yang Ji's great fortune and destiny. Truly worthy of being the top talent of the conference.

"Junior Brother, another day I'll take you to explore a secret realm and obtain some fine treasures!" Hao Yun clearly saw the exchange between the two and sent a telepathic message to Yang Ji with a laugh.

"Of course, Senior Brother!" Yang Ji readily agreed. He silently vowed to himself that he would certainly acquire some impressive treasures in the future as he did not want to face such embarrassment ever again at gatherings.

Next, it was the turn of the true successors and Quasi True Successors.

Yang Ji was stimulated once again as he realized that any treasure the Quasi True Successors brought out was of immense value, and he was actually the poorest amongst all present.

He strengthened his resolve to acquire some fine treasures, as he did not wish to experience such an uncomfortable situation again.

Apart from this embarrassing incident, the tea party was harmonious and joyful. Conversations were spirited, and consuming various spiritual ingredients was indeed a delight.

Yang Ji truly experienced the pleasures of a top-tier tea party. Not only could he savor various spiritual objects, but he also made friends.

As the champion of the Sword Immortal Conference, he indeed stood out at the tea party, receiving compliments from many talented cultivators, and enjoyed moments of glory.

But Yang Ji knew all too well how poverty-stricken he was behind this glory.

After the tea party ended, the next day, Yang Ji returned to the Wuji Dao Sect with Elder Ji Shen via the Teleportation Array.

Yang Ji immediately went to the Myriad Realms Commerce Alliance and sought out Bai Bi.

He asked her to find some heavenly treasures for subsequent tea parties; naturally, Bai Bi agreed to help.

After picking up two bottles of fine wine from her, Yang Ji returned to the sect and presented the wine to Elder Chun Ye.

Elder Chun Ye was indeed surprised to learn that Yang Ji had won first place at the Sword Immortal Conference. He gave Yang Ji a long look as he accepted the wine jug.

Yang Ji simply attributed it to luck with a smile.

Elder Chun Ye was skeptical, but he couldn't find any evidence of Yang Ji's capabilities.

After sharing a few hearty drinks with Elder Chun Ye, Yang Ji left Dao Tower and then proceeded to the Mission Hall to submit his third assessment task. The review, as expected, encountered no issues.

From then on, he truly became an official disciple of the Dao Sect, no longer subject to further assessments, allowed to stay in the sect forever.

He also gained freedom; no longer constrained by assessment deadlines, he could manage his time as he pleased.

Everything went smoothly. Yang Ji immediately collected the continuation techniques for the True Rigidity Divine Art and exchanged all the rewards given by the Dao Sect for an Enlightenment Pill, which he sent to the Canglan Sect.

Now free to act without restrictions and able to collect resources for cultivation annually, life seemed quite favorable.

Yang Ji originally wanted to go out to experience the world and seek some opportunities, but in the end, he chose to enter closed-door training, planning to fully comprehend various techniques and enhance his own foundation.

The first technique he focused on naturally was the Great Sword Realm Art.

After a year, his Primordial Spirit left his body, splitting into billions and roaming the boundless void. With the help of the sword talisman left by his senior, Gu Xinghe, he finally sensed the location of the Sword Realm across the vast stretches of time and space.

Sensing the Sword Realm was the first and most crucial step. Only by sensing the Sword Realm could one officially begin to master the Great Sword Realm Art.

Time slowly passed.

One year.

Two years.

Three years.

...

Yang Ji's deep contemplation lasted three hundred years.

With an unswerving heart, Yang Ji remained in closed-door training for three hundred years, devoting himself entirely to the comprehension of techniques, and his gain was nothing short of astonishing.

The beginner stage of Humanoid Weaponry Volume Four transformed his bodily strength drastically into that of a Low-grade Dao Artifact, making him extremely formidable.

Apart from this physical cultivation technique that required continuous tempering of the body, all other techniques requiring profound comprehension were perfected.

Even the Three Immortals Formation and the Great Sword Realm Art were perfected, and at this moment, his foundation had truly reached an unprecedented level.

Yang Ji felt an unparalleled strength within him, and in a battle among equals, he truly experienced the word 'invincible.' Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
