Chapter 247: The Li Family Pleads, and the Ko Family Arranges a Match

Chapter 247: The Li Family Pleads, and the Ko Family Arranges a Match

In the past, the Ko family successfully recruited Ji Linyuan and held him in high regard. They even sent a direct female descendant of the family to interact with him.

The Ko family's treatment of Ji Linyuan was so exceptional that he didn't need to marry into their family; instead, they were willing to establish a normal marital relationship.

This treatment could be considered very generous. Over the years, the six great families rarely married off their direct female descendants.

It could be said that if Ji Linyuan's descendants were willing to change their surname, they could even be included in the Ko family's main lineage.

In Ko Pingluan's words, his niece, many generations removed, had once been wholeheartedly devoted to Ji Linyuan. They had even arranged a marriage, but before the wedding, something went wrong, and Ji Linyuan disappeared without a trace.

To this day, that niece, many generations removed, remains unmarried, which has caused much criticism within the family towards Ji Linyuan.

This left Ji Jingqiu speechless.

Ji Jingqiu finished his drink and poured another, politely saying, "This gentleman, I..."

He slightly reviewed today's meeting.

"And..."

This foundation naturally came from the Seven Heroes of the past.

"Okay."

Ji Jingqiu patiently waited, and after a while, Ko Pingluan's voice sounded from the terminal again.

This person stood there, but he didn't exist in Ji Jingqiu's divine perception. Only a Heaven Being could give him such a feeling!

Li Yinghai muttered to himself, "According to Sui Canghai and others, after transcending to the Heaven Being realm, there is no limit to the enhancement of the physical body."

Ko Jiran smiled and said, "A hundred years ago, the Ko family did have the intention to overthrow the official government, establish a dictatorship, and even proposed that the six great families should share the royal lineage and take turns in power."

"Your current vitality progress is 17.2. What good things have you been eating? Did you dig up the ancestral graves of the Heaven Sun Temple?"

He suddenly coldly laughed, "Don't underestimate Ji Jingqiu's current popularity. Although he's in the spotlight, attracting attention like a flame cooking oil, many people are keeping an eye on him!"

He usually advocated for peace, and when he visited to seek guidance, he would stop at a polite inquiry. Why would he have any enemies?

Ko Pingluan was surprised, "How do you know? Did Ko Jiran tell you? It's true. If you want to come, you can come directly. Just mention my name."

"Farewell."

"The Dao collection of East 3 Huang Star is very precious, but it has already fallen into Ji Jingqiu's hands. The Ji family is incompetent, allowing such an important item to fall into the hands of others."

In the future, will the Ko family develop the heart to fight against him?

When he entered the Illusory Mountain, he was full of vigor, and for a moment, he couldn't help but scold a group of big shots from the Three Realms. He wondered if they would remember him...

[Formless], [Ten Thousand Phenomena], [Bodhimanda World], and [True Self].

"Definitely!" Ji Jingqiu smiled through the terminal, then casually threw away the invitation letter in his hand.

The meeting place arranged by the Li and Ko families for Ji Jingqiu was a small secluded courtyard.

Li Yinghai stood up and calmly left after a few words, as the conversation was not going well.

Silence filled the air, and this situation should have been reversed.

—Just in terms of foundation, any one of the six great families could rival the royalty of a first-class civilization in the Great Universe.

He spoke with a relaxed tone, "Some misunderstandings can be resolved, and they are willing to pay a price to gain Ji brother's understanding and friendship."

He paused and coldly laughed, "They aren't afraid of history repeating itself! They even found another person with the surname Ji!"

Mao Yanqing suddenly said, "I don't suggest you make enemies with those people for Ji Jingqiu. This person seems to have a good relationship with the Divine Temple, and he should be the successor of the Seven Heroes. The Federation will definitely support him."

Suddenly,

Haven't they learned from the lessons of the past?

Ji Jingqiu deeply agreed with this point.

However, the Ko family's attitude...

"Wait a moment."

"Of course."

He dialed the Ko family's internal communication line.

"Then..." Mao Yanqing's expression turned serious.

"The true value of that passage is not just a direct connection to the Nine Provinces, but more importantly, it's the legacy of the Seven Heroes, containing their connections. That's what makes it truly invaluable."

One point of vitality now is equivalent to 160 points in the future! But it seems it's better to let it go.

Originally, he thought that with both of them coming, one could be responsible for the red and the other for the blue.

Sui Canghai couldn't help but sigh as he watched Ji Jingqiu, who was eagerly rubbing his hands together, seemingly ready to explode at any moment.

A communication from a secret channel rang out.

"And if we want to solve the bloodline problem through Hela, we must bypass the divine armament left by the Seven Heroes..."

Li Yinghai remained silent for a long time, then suddenly said, "If the Ko family's idea from the past could be realized, it would be a good thing."

"So, are you going?" Sui Canghai asked expressionlessly.

Do they know the power of a Great Master's direct descendant?

At the end of the communication, Ji Jingqiu thought for a moment, "I feel that this banquet might be a trap set by Ko Jiran."

He didn't put Li Yinghai in his heart, as this person lacked respect for peerless geniuses and wasn't worth mentioning.

"Just adding the title of a Heaven Being." Mao Yanqing gestured with his hand and smiled, "How about we catch up, you and I?"

The world only knows that the six great families are high above, secluded within the Federation, but in truth, the direct descendants of the six families not only face a difficult inheritance but also often meet untimely ends.

"The bigger the spotlight, the more it attracts malicious attention. When He Donghuang broke through, not only were the other three involved, but some powerful beings from the Three Thousand Yanfloat Realm also 'helped out.'

Especially with his Formless Body's five divine anomalies.

After all...

You could say that he had 'eaten his fill' this time.

'What's wrong?' Mao Yanqing asked.

Li Yinghai calmly said, 'I know. This time, it's just a test of his attitude. Next time, it won't be me.'

Having too many supernatural powers is also a kind of trouble.

Given his identity, he naturally wouldn't eavesdrop on Li Yinghai's communications, usually blocking out the five senses.

Li Yinghai looked at him intently and said, 'These spots are rare, and even the Venerables of the Six Great Families find it hard to share. The Nine Palaces of the Nine Provinces can't help, Brother Ji. Although the Nine Palaces are strong, they can't afford to associate with True Sage-level beings.'

...

Li Yinghai stared at Ji Jingqiu, confirming that there was no warmth in this smile.

He originally thought that Sui Canghai would warn him to be cautious of the Li Family, as the Li Family had previously clashed with Sui Shi and Zhuang Yanqing.

After hearing Laji's explanation, Ji Jingqiu nodded.

Secondly, he didn't have that much experience.

Ji Jingqiu had never met his grandmother.

'A month later, the Ko Family's Dream Ephemeral will bloom. According to custom, we will invite important figures from all sides. Brother Ji was not originally on the guest list, but we still extend the invitation. We hope you will grace us with your presence.'

'Uncle Mao, rest assured. I won't be on the front lines for this matter.'

Mao Yanqing frowned.

Li Yinghai sighed, 'I know, but thinking about it, there aren't that many opportunities like this. It's just that that Ko Jiran guy...'

"The reason Mu and Ji Families are at the forefront is because the Mu Family's scoundrel and the Ji Family's trash have been in the mortal world the longest, leaving behind the deepest heritage."

Ji Jingqiu asked softly, 'Then, what about the people?'

...

The source lies in the curses that several wilderness evil gods placed on the Seven Commanders back then.

Heavenly Beings as guards?! Is this the heritage of the Six Great Families?

Hmm, they're all big shots, they shouldn't be so petty.

One of them smiled and said, 'Brother Ji, you have a good eye. This tea comes from the Ji Family. The Six Families have been friends for generations, and every year, we share some of it with each other.'

Li Yinghai shook his head, 'We won't do anything that draws attention.'

He believed that he had gone through the 'addition' phase and entered the 'subtraction' phase, needing to streamline and refine the key points.

Ko Jiran's smile was warm, extending an olive branch.

Even attracting a bounty?!

But Li Yinghai's reaction as he left the room confirmed that the two were indeed not from the same faction.

According to Ji Anquan, the Dao Xuan Tea tree in the Ji Family, after being cultivated for ten thousand years, had already surpassed the level of Celestial Medicine.

His grandfather seemed neither in the right nor at a disadvantage.

Upon hearing about the Dream Ephemeral and the Dao Xuan Tea tree, both seemingly transcending the realm of Celestial Medicine as half-divine medicine, Ji Jingqiu no longer refused.

'That's within five years, then.' Li Yinghai nodded to himself, sighing, 'Such an outstanding talent, it's a pity he wasn't secured earlier.'

'Brother Ji, it's my turn. My purpose is simple. I'm here on behalf of the elders to ask if Brother Ji has found a marital partner yet?'

He remained silent for a moment, not making any harsh statements, but looking at the almost empty teapot, he said with a meaningful tone:

However, I heard that when the Mu Family's elders left, they took several Divine Armaments with them, and I don't know how many are left in the Federation.

Li Yinghai's eyes narrowed dangerously, and he disliked the way Ji Jingqiu was looking at him. It was a level gaze, but it felt like he was being coldly looked down upon.

Sui Canghai looked at him intently, 'It's Uncle Mao, Mao Yanqing. Long time no see, I see you've joined the Six Great Families.'

During the initial attempt, he prepared to use the self-contained divine anomalies of his Formless Body as the foundation.

Ji Jingqiu suspected that Ko Pingluan might be involved, even pushing the situation to make Ji Jingqiu owe him for life.

Ji Jingqiu was surprised.

Mao Yanqing remained silent, but he was curious about Li Yinghai's sudden reason for wanting to take down Ji Jingqiu.

Mao Yanqing's expression suddenly changed.

Ji Jingqiu bid farewell to Ko Jiran and then asked Laji in his mind if he had any understanding of the Six Great Families in the Federation.

Additionally, there were many Dharmagates from the True Buddha Sect's friendly gift of the World Honored One's lineage.

'The Four Divine Churches have already issued a bounty hunt for Ji Jingqiu!'

'Still organizing, but I've already got an idea.' Ji Jingqiu said.

'Go!' Ji Jingqiu said calmly. 'This time, there will definitely be many powerful beings gathering, a great opportunity for discussions.'

Ji Jingqiu slowly put down the teacup, his eyes calm as water, looking at Li Yinghai, and suddenly laughed, 'It seems that Professor Jia's background is even more impressive than I thought.'

'Hey, Brother Ko, do you know a younger member of the Ko Family named Ko Jiran?' Ji Jingqiu asked familiarly.

Before leaving, Ko Jiran handed Ji Jingqiu an invitation.

As Li Yinghai walked to the small courtyard's gate, his footsteps suddenly hung in mid-air, and then he landed heavily, leaving a clear footprint on the ground.

This fifth divine anomaly, which he had enlightened to at the gate of the small courtyard, would eventually become his Martial Dao foundation, leading him on the path of using his True Self to control the Formless.

Under the wisteria trellis, a stone table and chairs were set up, with two young men, seemingly of similar age to Ji Lin Yuan, sitting on either side.

"Our foundation may far surpass your imagination, Brother Ji. For instance, Celestial Medicine is something we cherish, but if we wish, we can find it."

Li Yinghai calmly said, "I won't mention the attitude of that person from the Li Family."

Mao Yanqing remained calm. "There's no chance. This child has just entered the central area and is already connected to Zhuang. Different is using his life as bait to find a way to cure Li Yinghai's son."

So, am I delivering myself to their doorstep?

Ji Lin Yuan didn't hold back. He didn't consider himself an outsider and strode into the courtyard, taking a seat at the stone table and pouring himself a cup of tea.

Regarding the truth he had learned so far, the relationship between his grandfather and the Ko Family had already become a messy account.

Li Yinghai calmly said, "As long as Brother Ji is willing to take a step back, it's not just that you haven't stepped into the Divine Human Realm yet. Even if you reach it in the future, we still have a way to send you to the Many Worlds for 'deep cultivation'."

For now, he could only enhance a little, but in the future, he might gain hundreds at once...

Ji Lin Yuan was initially a bit impulsive. For instance, staying at his current realm for a decade or so, every two or three months, he would undergo a Bitter Sea Body Tempering, seeing how high he could raise his vitality...

This was good news.

Over a year ago, this youngster who hadn't even forged his Dharmakaya yet already had the strength to suppress the various powers and defeat countless warriors from the Wan Years Ago's Yanhuang Federation.

Li Yinghai's eyebrows furrowed, seemingly also puzzled and shocked. He explained to Mao Yanqing, "News came from there that several sects among the Ten Directions Sects, and even a True Sage Temple, launched a bounty hunt for Ji Lin Yuan in the Nine Palaces a few months ago. This news only reached the Federation recently."

"Brother Ji, we're waiting for you to personally bring Professor Jia to me." Ji Lin Yuan spoke with a calm tone.

Ji Lin Yuan was also surprised, never expecting that this Bitter Sea Body Tempering would enhance his vitality so much.

For someone like Ji Lin Yuan to directly enhance his vitality by 1.22 was extremely rare.

Li Yinghai regained his composure and asked, "If you were to go and capture Ji Lin Yuan now, how confident are you, Uncle Mao?"

Li Yinghai answered, his expression changing as he suddenly turned around, looking at the place where Ji Lin Yuan had agreed to meet.

"Do you know, Brother Ji, that beyond the Great Universe, there are over three thousand Yanfloat Realms, with the True Sage Temple as the most revered and the Ten Directions Sects next in line?"

"How long does Uncle Mao think it will take for Ji Lin Yuan to have a chance to break through and enter the Divine Human Realm?"

At this moment, Sui Canghai had also returned, giving him a warning, "Be careful of the Ko Family."

...

Ji Lin Yuan was surprised. Was the one who seemed friendly, Ko Jiran, the one who was "deeply hidden"? Ji Lin Yuan pondered for a moment.

After a while, the man at the other end of the terminal remained silent, then said,

A middle-aged man stood guard at the door. Upon seeing Ji Lin Yuan and the others' visit, he proactively greeted them and nodded with a smile towards Ji Lin Yuan.

...

Previously, Ji Anyu had sent him a few pieces of Ji Family Daoxuan Tea.

For instance, the Divine Armament left behind by the Seven Commanders.

Enhancing a little each time, with his ability to break free from the four shackles, completing the Great Unification of Physical Body, and multiplying it by ten...

Ko Jiran was speechless. Where did they come from to admire their reputation? It was they who admired the reputation of Ji Lin Yuan.

Ji Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

In the Divine Human Realm, only by comprehending the Heaven and Earth Law could one seek higher realms.

"For outsiders to enter is as difficult as ascending to heaven, but we can send them into the Many Worlds to seek the path of opening the Dharma."

Not mentioning the common Dharmakaya Embryo, the remaining four items are respectively:

This time, Ji Lin Yuan fell silent, not knowing what to say for a moment.

[In the Wan Years Ago's Yanhuang Federation, the presence of the seven was indeed remarkable. At that time, not to mention the Nine Palaces, just the presence of He Donghuang alone silenced the various dominant forces in the Southern Wilderness Continent.]



As for the consequences of Ji Lin Yuan's refusal, he didn't bring it up, maintaining a calm expression from the start.

Given time...

At this step, he was one with heaven and earth.

He suspected that just those few Divine Armaments held power beyond the Seventh Realm.

Sui Canghai supported Ji Lin Yuan.

"Brother Sui, long time no see." The middle-aged man smiled.

Picking up the terminal.

Mao Yanqing remained silent for a moment, then shook his head. "With Sui Canghai here, and this place being the ancestral star of the Heaven Sun Temple, with the current Heavenly Sun Son still present, if I were to fight with Sui Canghai, the Heavenly Sun Son wouldn't just stand by. This matter can't be done."

For instance, how strong was the foundation of the Six Great Families?

Li Yinghai slowly said,

The two walked side by side, leaving the younger generation behind.

Although the Federation's Martial Dao didn't represent its non-existence, after all, before him, there was no other Ji Lin Yuan.

"Oh?" Ji Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly. "Deep cultivation in the Many Worlds?"

Mao Yanqing looked deeply at Li Yinghai, asking,

Moreover, since the Bitter Sea Body Tempering's enhancement of vitality was proportional to the enhancement of the body, there was no need to stay longer at the moment.

In comparison, he could slowly grow even while lying at home, already far ahead.

The Ko Family was...

Ji Lin Yuan understood, then asked, "I heard the Ko Family will hold a banquet a month later, inviting everyone to admire the Dream Ephemeral?"

Ji Lin Yuan temporarily didn't plan to get involved.

Mao Yanqing contemplated for a moment and said, "This young man possesses exceptional natural talent. Since he embarked on the path of martial arts, he has been making rapid progress. Now that he has achieved Heart Certification Breath and reached the Divine Human Boundary, it won't be long before he surpasses the Federation's limits. I estimate it will take five to ten years for the Federation to produce another Divine Human."

A sense of calmness filled the air.

"Indeed," someone agreed.

"Do you have a legitimate reason to take him, and can you provide an explanation to all parties involved? This is the Federation, where the rule of law still stands. It's not a small world where the Li family reigns supreme."

"I am Ji Jiran. This gentleman is Li Yinghai, a brother from the Li family."

Ji Jingqiu poured another cup of tea, looking puzzled.

As for the Buddha's True Self, this divine anomaly merely exists, slowly enhancing his ego, though the progress is so slow that it's almost imperceptible, but it's like a trickling stream that flows endlessly...

Sensing the aroma of the tea, his eyes lit up. "Ji family's Daoxuan Tea?"

He spoke without expression, "We've had enough of these endless cursed days."

Ji Jingqiu fell into deep thought.

Li Yinghai remained silent for a moment.

In response, Ji Jingqiu expressed the importance of "each having their own" with Ko Pingluan.

The process of creating divine abilities involves not only organizing one's martial arts but also a new understanding of the laws of heaven and earth.

"How is the divine ability you were cultivating coming along?" Sui Canghai asked.

Sui Canghai spoke with gravity.

Before the video, Researcher A raised his hand to adjust the frame, not because he was nearsighted, but because he felt it suited his scholarly demeanor. At this moment, he earnestly sought guidance from Ji Jingqiu.

"Over there, they are very interested in both Ji Jingqiu and the Eastern 3 Huan Star, believing that his rise is too rapid. Perhaps he obtained something left behind by He Commander, or some important inheritance."

When he was in the Bodhimanda Demiplane, he also heard the elf girl Mu Rouzhi mention a theory.

Mao Yanqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke in a deep voice, "Are you serious?"

After entering the Shackles Realm, things that could enhance a warrior's vitality became extremely rare.

Sui Canghai couldn't help but twitch his mouth at this scene.

Firstly, it wasn't clear if there was an upper limit to the tenfold rate of the physical body's unification.

During this time, with the Ten Thousand Phenomena Orb, he secretly learned from various families, and although it was difficult to master their divine abilities, he managed to grasp some 'barehanded' techniques.

"The Six Great Families, led by the Mu and Ji families, with the other four families following closely behind."

"I'd like to mediate on behalf of Divine Might Corporation's Jia Weiting to turn hostility into friendship with Brother Ji."

Rounding up, it was equivalent to 1.22 standard-state shackles.

Ji Jingqiu's eyes were grave, and even with his Heart Mirror Realm, he couldn't give off a 'hollow' feeling.

Until...

If one holds grudges, especially against those they have cursed...

Ji Jingqiu tried to reassure himself. After all, except for breaking through certain realms, improving the ego required immense opportunities.

After analyzing the data, Ji Jingqiu, accompanied by Sui Canghai, set off for the meeting.

"This young man is cunning and has a gloomy personality. That's the evaluation of him within his clan."

Li Yinghai nodded in agreement.

On the way back, Li Yinghai suddenly asked a question.

Apparently, the Bitter Sea Body Tempering wasn't a fixed value but increased as his physical strength improved.

According to his grandfather, his grandmother was an ordinary person his grandfather met while in seclusion, and she passed away early due to some accident while giving birth to his father.

Seeing Ji Jingqiu's appreciation, the two young men by the stone table narrowed their eyes, realizing that Ji Jingqiu indeed had connections with the Ji family.

In other words, the Ji family's woman was almost his grandmother?

"It's been a while, Brother Ji." Ji Jingqiu greeted politely.

Recently, he had been trying to integrate and create divine abilities unique to himself.

"As for the Divine Temple..."

Ji Jingqiu's eyes gleamed with curiosity.

"Creating divine abilities is usually something only Divine Humans consider. But given your talent, it's normal to get a head start. This is also a form of self-integration."

The tea, plucked from a tea tree naturally imprinted with the laws, was often drunk by warriors, aiding in enlightenment and supporting their martial arts cultivation.

Even if Ji Jingqiu was exceptional, why would he attract the attention of the True Self Dao Field and the Ten Directions Sects?!

The reason they couldn't sit still was that they couldn't find any traces left by Ji Jingqiu's parents, but Ji Jingqiu's performance in the Federation became increasingly remarkable.

...

The young man named Li Yinghai spoke straightforwardly, his attitude clear, "Brother Ji, I'd like to mediate and turn hostility into friendship. What do you think?"

He had ventured into the ancient path, overcoming numerous obstacles, and in the end, he brought back three Celestial Medicines. Still adapting to the rules of the outside world, he didn't know when he would bear fruit.

Ko Jiran glanced in the direction Li Yinghai had left and smiled, "Brother Ji, rest assured, we have no connection with Professor Jia."

In a novel, there would already be a way to die!

Among these four divine anomalies, the Bodhimanda World had already merged with his Dao Field and Inner World, and it had already found an evolutionary direction.

"By the way, you should be more careful in the coming days." Sui Canghai's eyes narrowed slightly. "I sense that someone is watching us in the shadows."

Ji Jingqiu's expression turned solemn.

Even Sui Canghai's Divine Perception could only vaguely sense someone watching them in the darkness? Ji Jingqiu spoke with gravity, "Call for reinforcements from the War Department!"

Sui Canghai was speechless. This young man was indeed too cautious.
