Chapter 426 Secretly Engaging with a Nascent Soul
The silver-purple lightning flashed by like a dream, disappearing in an instant.
High in the sky, Ji Yinglong, who was about to deliver the fatal blow, suddenly froze.
His movements, his aura, and his murderous intent all came to an abrupt halt at that moment.
My soul felt as if it had been struck a heavy blow!
That was not pain, but an absolute "annihilation".
His powerful soul, which had almost reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, was completely cut off from the outside world, his physical body, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in that instant.
Thoughts ceased, and consciousness sank into boundless darkness.
Although it was only for a brief moment, in a top-level confrontation, this momentary lapse in concentration was enough for an opponent of the same level to kill him a hundred times over!
When Ji Yinglong broke free from the terror of his soul being annihilated, a chill ran from his tailbone straight to the top of his head.
His hair stood on end, and he immediately activated all his cultivation, his divine sense sweeping across a hundred miles like a raging torrent, trying to find the trace of the attacker.
However-
Empty.
There were no fluctuations in spiritual energy, no remnants of divine soul, and no traces of space.
It was as if everything just now was an illusion.
But the lingering numbness deep within his soul, along with the overwhelming fear of death, told him: this was real.
Ji Yinglong's vigilance instantly reached its peak.
He knew this was a warning.
who is it?
That demonic monk? Does he possess such abilities?
Or is he the person behind the demonic monk?
Or perhaps—the Soul Thunder Sect, which has been extinct for tens of thousands of years, has another successor who has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage?
Thinking of the Soul Thunder Sect's domineering methods of specializing in attacking the soul, Ji Yinglong felt a chill in his heart.
This experience has instilled fear in him.
If the opponent can issue a warning without anyone noticing, and if they really fight, the strange power of the soul lightning can be used to damage his soul at a crucial moment.
At that time, he will likely die without knowing where he is.
It seems that Wuchen has someone protecting him.
At this moment, the violent killing intent that had arisen in Ji Yinglong's mind due to the power of cause and effect had been completely extinguished by this cold soul lightning, and he returned to clarity.
That's all —
He sighed inwardly and began to look for a way out.
After all, they are of our own bloodline, the future heir of the Ji family. Why must we kill them all in public?
His strength is also the strength of the Ji family.
As for the grudges with Vajra Temple, we will discuss them later.
At this moment, Ji Yinglong's thoughts were completely different from his previous murderous and confused state.
What he didn't know was that Chen Yi's actions this time were far more than just a warning.
Not only did he use spatial supernatural powers and the power of soul thunder to intimidate, but more importantly, Chen Yi used the power of the Immortal Spirit Jade to completely exclude this warning from the realm of causal perception.
The power of cause and effect, the secrets of heaven, is extraordinary.
It is not necessary to directly erase it in order to affect other causes and effects.
By issuing a mere warning, Chen Yi, through sheer power, intimidated Ji Yinglong, making him clear-headed and preventing him from attacking Ji Wuchen again. This, in turn, forcibly severed and disrupted the unseen hand's covert guidance and influence over Ji Yinglong from another perspective.
At this level, Chen Yi and that fifth-tier powerhouse engaged in a silent battle, using Ji Yinglong's divine soul as the battlefield.
Chen Yi, by borrowing the power of Hu Mingyue's Immortal Spirit Jade and using his own spatial soul lightning techniques, and taking advantage of his position in the situation, managed to turn the tide.
"Enough, Wuchen."
Ji Yinglong spoke again, but the murderous intent and coldness in his voice had vanished, leaving only a complex meaning.
"You are ultimately a descendant of the Ji family and one of the family's future heirs. I was just trying to scare you a little, a test, so don't take it seriously."
"Your treasure is not something the Ancestor intends to keep for himself. You should keep it and cultivate diligently."
After speaking, Ji Yinglong sheathed his Wind Condensation Sword.
The terrifying aura that had suffocated everyone receded like a tide, the supernatural light and magical fluctuations all subsided, and the person floated back to the ground.
This scene left everyone present bewildered.
Everyone stared in disbelief, completely unaware of what Ji Yinglong was up to.
One moment they're ready to kill, the next they're putting a test on the elders?
This sudden change of attitude is rather abrupt.
Ji Wuchen also breathed a long sigh of relief, as if all his strength had been drained away—he had finally survived today's ordeal.
Of all the people present, only one person understood exactly what had just happened.
A strange light flashed in Hu Mingyue's eyes. She never expected that Uncle Chen could so exquisitely combine spatial divine power and soul thunder divine power in an instant.
She looked up and saw that the chilling killing intent on the battlefield had been silently smoothed over by an invisible hand. The fierce aura that had almost solidified into a tangible force within the Ji family's camp had vanished completely.
All the changes stemmed from Chen Shufang's sudden, elusive strike.
He not only succeeded, but also used the power of her celestial jade to completely conceal all traces of the spell, perfectly demonstrating what it means to be untouched by cause and effect.
These methods are beyond the comprehension of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators in this world.
In this way, we can kill several birds with one stone.
The invisible thunderclap alerted Ji Yinglong, causing him to pull back from the brink of being manipulated and save Ji Wuchen, whose life was hanging by a thread.
This also caused the mastermind behind the scenes, who used cause and effect as a game of chess and manipulated fate, to completely fail in their scheme.
Chen Yi's actions, seemingly solely for the purpose of saving lives, were in fact the result of a far-sighted strategy.
This not only protected himself from being traced by a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator, but also shielded Hu Mingyue from a troublesome karmic burden.
Although she was fearless at this level, she hated getting into trouble for no reason. If she were to be stared at like a fly clinging to her bone by a Nascent Soul cultivator, she would only bring shame upon herself.
Uncle Chen's actions were effortless and decisive, avoiding countless subsequent complications and resolving the situation without a trace.
This made Hu Mingyue's eyes sparkle with genuine appreciation.
This man, whom she called "Uncle Chen," came from the mortal world and seemed gentle and cautious, yet every step he took on his path of cultivation was incredibly solid.
What surprised her even more was that whenever she thought she had reached the limit of his potential, he would always give her a new surprise.
And so it was—
The celestial jade she gifted was originally a celestial object. Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, let alone activating it, would likely suffer a backlash if they even touched a trace of its power, their soul power being instantly drained.
However, Uncle Chen not only did it, but he did it without any effort.
With his nearly fifth-level Yin-Yang Divine Soul Origin, he steadily activated the precious jade, seamlessly integrating its profound mysteries into his own Soul Thunder and Spatial Divine Power.
It was these seemingly disparate abilities and supernatural powers that complemented and enhanced each other in his hands, thus forging this astonishing feat.
This also gave Uncle Chen some leverage to deal with the powerful Nascent Soul cultivator who manipulated cause and effect in the shadows.
After Hu Mingyue understood this, she held Chen Yi's abilities in even higher regard.
"Uncle Chen, perhaps you, like me, have an unusual background..."

At the same time.
Beyond the Black Mountain Secret Realm, in the deep, secluded void of the Great Green Realm.
A bald monk in an ancient robe sat cross-legged on a ritual cushion, his aura almost merging with the void. Suddenly, his closed eyes snapped open.
Those were eyes that appeared compassionate on the surface but were indifferent on the inside, yet at this moment a strange glint flashed across them that was hard to conceal.
"interesting."
He murmured to himself, his voice barely registering in the void.
"Ji Yinglong actually stopped at the crucial moment."
His brow furrowed slightly, his mind racing. The causal connection he had laid out was like an invisible thread binding Ji Yinglong's murderous desires and greed.
Once this technique is complete, unless a cultivator of the same level uses great force to sever it, Ji Yinglong, with his own willpower, has no chance of breaking free.
"How could he resist my causal guidance? Logically speaking, he should not be able to do so."
