He wanted to rescue Qin Chen at that time, but the Death Canyon was fraught with dangers. With his cultivation level at that time, let alone saving Qin Chen, merely entering the Death Canyon would likely lead to his demise.
So, he returned to the ancestral land of the Ji family and tried every means to enhance his strength.
He knew that if Qin Chen was not dead, he must still be within the Death Canyon.
To save Qin Chen, one must possess the cultivation of a peak Martial God; otherwise, it was simply impossible. The Death Canyon was too terrifying, being the most forbidden place in the Martial Domain. In the past, even a peak Martial God who entered there could hardly escape death.
Ji Wuxue was gifted with extraordinary talent, and with frantic cultivation, his strength skyrocketed. Later, he entered the forbidden land of the Ji family and discovered a great secret.
"The Ji family’s forbidden land was left by our ancestors, and our ancestors were powerful beings who came from the Heavenly Realm," Ji Wuxue said solemnly.
Heavenly Realm experts?
Qin Chen, Ji Ruoyue, and Ji Hongchen all gasped in shock.
The Heavenly Realm had always been a legend in the Tianwu Continent; only those who could shatter the void and reach the Holy Realm could enter. Did this place truly exist?
What shocked Qin Chen even more was that beings from the Heavenly Realm could actually descend from the Heavenly Realm?
Shocked in his heart, Qin Chen continued to listen, but Ji Wuxue merely mentioned it briefly and continued to recount his own matters.
In the ancestral land of the Ji family, Ji Wuxue’s cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. In just a few decades, he reached the later stages of Martial God and became the most extraordinary powerhouse of the Ji family.
Thus, he became the most favorable candidate for the family head.
However, when he left the forbidden land after being in seclusion for decades, he found that the Ji family had already been completely controlled by Ji Wufei, and the family head had become Ji Wufei.
Originally, Ji Wuxue did not care much about the position of family head; he only wanted to cultivate, study restrictions, and be a carefree powerhouse. But he unexpectedly discovered that Ji Wufei was colluding with Piao Miao Palace.
Moreover, Ji Wufei, under the identity of family head, wanted him to hand over everything and reveal the secrets of the Ji family’s forbidden land.
Because historically, no one had ever cultivated in the forbidden land for decades to reach such a level; Ji Wufei was certain he had obtained some opportunities.
During the period of Ji Wuxue's seclusion, Ji Wufei had already gathered all the elders and powerhouses of the Ji family and eliminated some elders who opposed him.
Previously, Ji Wuxue might have revealed the secrets of the forbidden land, but now, it was naturally impossible for him to disclose everything.
Although he had discovered Ji Wufei's collusion with Piao Miao Palace, he was at a loss for evidence and did not want to expose the forbidden land to Ji Wufei, so he could only set up restrictions to seal off the forbidden land.
Ji Wuxue's actions inevitably provoked the anger of the Ji family’s higher-ups, who wanted to punish him. Ji Wuxue naturally refused to comply and chose to secretly investigate Piao Miao Palace, believing that Qin Chen's accident was far from as simple as Shangguan Xier had said.
Given Ji Wuxue's strength, a nighttime exploration of Piao Miao Palace should have been without incident, but he did not expect that there were actually some powerful beings from other clans lurking within.
These beings possessed terrifying strength, and once he was discovered, a great battle immediately broke out in Piao Miao Palace. He was heavily injured from the siege and managed to escape.
Ji Wuxue returned to the Ji family as quickly as possible to reveal this shocking secret but found that he had just returned to the Ji family and was met with Ji Wufei's preemptive attack, accusing him of forcibly breaking into Piao Miao Palace and attempting to harm the wives of his former friends.
