C1822 Lake Center Island
After Ji Gong left the Dan tribe, he followed a short mountain range and headed north.
The mountain range also grew taller and more imposing as they moved towards the north. It was covered with dense forests, deep valleys, serene springs, clouds, and the cry of birds. It looked like it belonged to a celestial being.
Ji gongzi continued to wander around the majestic forest. After going around a few tall mountains, the originally lush and verdant scenery suddenly changed. A dark blue lake suddenly appeared in the middle of the mountains, causing this magnificent mountain range to suddenly have a touch of gentleness.
Elder Ji reflected his light on the surface of the lake and disappeared from the center of the lake.
Although it was called a small island, it actually wasn't small. The island was covered in lush greenery, and with the water vapor from the lake flowing away, it made the island seem a bit more tranquil and quiet.
On the other hand, Ji Gongzi was a cultivator of the Great Net. With his cultivation level, he didn't think that anyone would be able to follow him without him noticing, unless they were Empyrean He.
He didn't know that at this moment, there was a pair of eyes in the sky above the third region of the imperial palace. Elder Ji's every move had already caught the attention of the other party.
After Ji Gong landed on the island, he walked towards the center of the island as if he was a mortal. After passing through a dense forest that was hundreds of feet tall, the area in front of him widened. Another lake appeared in the middle of the island.
At this moment, Ji Gong's expression looked solemn, but there was also a hint of humility in his expression. He stood on the shore of the lake and said respectfully, "Sky Sovereign!"
As soon as Ji Gong finished his sentence, ripples suddenly appeared on the calm surface of the water.
However, unlike ordinary water waves, these ripples didn't come from a single point in the lake, but rather converged from the edge of the lake towards the center. Finally, as they neared the center of the lake, the ripples actually formed the outline of a human face on the water surface.
"Ugh …"
A deep voice came from the middle of the lake, and the outline of the human face, which had started appearing and disappearing due to the ripples, suddenly became solid at this moment, and the facial expression also gradually became clear and vivid. A man whose eyes were half closed, eyes were very heavy, and had no lower jaw, but two thick short whiskers on his upper lip appeared, and the outline covered almost one third of the entire lake's surface.
"How's it going?"
The voice that came from the lake was heavy and slow, but because of this, every single word of the people from the lake seemed to carry a heavy pressure.
Elder Ji, despite being a Great Rudra, seemed to be burdened by a heavy burden. He couldn't help but lower his slightly bent body and said gruffly, "The junior has already determined the Void Passage under the Sea of Source and has started to reinforce it. I think that before long, the will of the Sky Sovereign will descend upon the boundless world, but …"
"But what?"
His heavy voice suddenly interrupted Ji Gongze's words, causing the water vapor on the lake to become much thicker.
There was a thin layer of water droplets on his forehead. Ji Gong's voice trembled slightly as he said, "However, this junior hasn't been successful in taming the local tribes of mortals. I'm afraid that my plan of establishing a sect in the Feng Tian World will be delayed!"
"To reverse the course of events!"
The rebuke from the lakeshore suddenly sounded like it was filled with anger. The lakewater immediately splashed onto the shore, wetting the lower hem of Ji gongzi's shirt, which was standing motionlessly.
"Sky Sovereign is right!"
Elder Ji didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction and immediately admitted his mistake.
The surging waves gradually subsided, as if the people in the lake were restraining their anger, and then asked: "How is it not going well? But you met other competitors? "
"That's right!"
Elder Ji quickly reported what happened outside the tribe to the lake, but he didn't dare to reveal the fact that he was blocked by a Golden Immortal. That would only infuriate the people in the lake even more, so the man who protected the mortal tribe was also a Great Luo cultivator, and he didn't dare to hide anything else.
After a while, Ji Gong hurriedly said, "But Sky Sovereign, don't worry. There are still quite a few mortal dwellings in this area. Although they are not as big as the one we found earlier, I believe that I can gather enough mortals by running a few more times."
Little did he know that by doing so, he was concealing the true crucial point, causing the people of the lake to misjudge.
"Un, increase your speed. You are already lagging behind!"
Sure enough, the voice of the man in the lake became a bit softer. However, he did not forget to put some pressure on Ji Gong. However, the possibility of the incense stick being exposed disappeared at the same time as well.
"I will go all out!"1
Ji Gong then heaved a sigh of relief as he heard the words of the man in the lake soften. He hurriedly asked, "This subordinate has something he doesn't understand. Would Sky Sovereign like to explain?"
The ripples on the surface of the lake suddenly stopped. Ji Gong felt his heartbeat slow down as well.
"But!"
Just when Ji Gong thought that he was going to anger the people in the lake again, a voice came from the lake's entrance, causing him to feel as if he had been granted amnesty.
"Sky Sovereign, there is a rumor circulating among the powerful cultivators that have entered the plentiful heavenly world. It is said that after the birth of the grandmist purple energy, it would take at most three to five hundred years for the plentiful heavenly world to collapse. In such a short period of time, it would not be easy to nurture a few cultivators in the realms from the local mortals, let alone establish an orderly sect! Furthermore, it is unlikely for such a weak sect to continue existing in the midst of the collapse of the heavens. I just do not know what the meaning of establishing such a sect is. "
"Stupid!"
Ji Gong had just finished his sentence, when a reprimanding voice came over with a clear sense of disdain.
Elder Ji quickly lowered his head and said, "This humble one is slow-witted. Sky Sovereign, please enlighten me!"
The purpose of establishing a sect is only to educate the local mortals, and 'enlightenment' is karmic virtue. With karmic virtue, one can gain the blessing of karmic luck, which is the favor of the will of Heaven and Earth, do you understand?
"I understand!" Ji Gong replied quickly.
The true purpose of your founding sect in the Fengtian world is not to teach mortals, but to fight for the destiny and favor of this world. Only with the approval and support of the will of the world, you will have a solid foothold in the Fengtian world.
The people in the lake seemed to be afraid that Ji Gong wouldn't understand, so they explained a lot of things once again.
"I will do my best. I will also establish my own sect! As the founder of my sect, I will establish an Empyrean that will help me achieve my own goals once my world is opened!"
