Chapter 405: Heaven is like water
Kunwu Cave is not far away.
Nearby, spiritual inspiration gathered, and a large Chinese toon tree was planted outside the cave.
The energy of the [Horn Wood] surged, yet its aura remained faint and weak, transforming into a layer of blue mist that enveloped an area spanning several miles.
"They must be fellow practitioners of the [Hornwood] cultivation method —"
A flash of earthy yellow light appeared, and Fang Wuchen's figure materialized. Gazing at the azure mist ahead, he shook his head inwardly: "According to my master, the [Horn Wood] Metal position was once quite illustrious, but now it's weak and its power is barely noticeable—this Purple Mansion has also suffered greatly as a result, and now it's probably fallen to the level of [Winnowing Basket] and [Earth Woman]—"
As for the [Willow Earth] who had his supernatural powers taken away within the Earth element? After all, it was the lineage of his own junior brother Liu Junyan, so he didn't want to think too much about it.
At this moment, using supernatural powers to strike the array, a surge of yellowish-brown energy rolled forth, carrying Fang Wuchen's voice: "This humble Daoist, Wuchenzi, has come to pay a visit to fellow Daoist—"
Then the aura of [Horned Wood] spread out, revealing a large Toona sinensis tree in the center. Circles of green ripples spread down, transforming into streaks of spiritual light.
Under the large Chinese toon tree sat a Jurchen woman, about twenty years old, dressed like a country girl, but her eyes were a deep blue-green, with a golden-blue light between her brows, exuding an awe-inspiring and unapproachable majesty.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Wuchenzi, please!"
The female immortal slowly finished her practice and stood up, a wooden sword hanging at her waist. She was surrounded by the illusion of being surrounded by trees, and the sharpness of a swordsman was also present: "I have forgotten much of my past life. Just call me 'Suqing Zhenren'."
"So it's Fellow Daoist Su Qing!"
Fang Wuchen stepped inside and sensed that this woman was somewhat unusual.
If a reincarnated True Person of the Purple Mansion makes a mistake, it is common for them to forget many things from their past lives.
But even if it's a mere twenty years, reaching the Purple Mansion realm is too fast, even for a reincarnated Great Immortal. Why do I feel such a sense of danger? Could it be the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm, or even a Great Immortal?
Upon realizing this, a dim yellow light flashed in Fang Wuchen's eyes as he activated a spiritual eye technique.
As cultivators, their own foundation and supernatural powers are what they rely on, but in daily combat and even in life and cultivation, they cannot do without the help of various spells.
Fang Wuchen resides in a grotto-heaven, possessing the treasury of a True Lord, allowing him to freely choose high-quality spells to study.
What is being used now is a rare spiritual eye technique—the "Three True Eyes of Penetrating Calamity and Observing the Void"! This technique is said to be able to see all past and present lives and illuminate the most subtle things—truly a rare and wonderful method.
Roar!
As Fang Wuchen looked over, he seemed to hear a dragon's roar. The azure-gold aura before him dissipated, revealing a dragon!
This dragon is gold inside and blue outside, with a gnarled body and brown scales, but its eyes are purple. It seemed to be provoked by the gaze and let out a roar.
Fang Wuchen staggered back three steps, blood seeping from his eyes.
He quickly covered his face with his sleeve, wiping away the blood, his heart filled with shock: a backlash from magic? This woman's fate was incredibly extraordinary—was she a chosen one? No, more like a reincarnation of the metal element—the [Horn Wood] metal element? Now that [Horn Wood] has changed, she is even more like an ancient [Horn Wood] metal element reincarnation! People with such a metal fate have incredibly smooth cultivation in the Purple Mansion, and when their fate is combined with supernatural powers, they can often unleash incredible power—”
"I... I've stumbled into whose game of chess?"
Fang Wuchen felt lost and anxious.
"Fellow Daoist, please take a seat and have some tea."
Master Suqing smiled and said, "I live here, and occasionally fellow Daoists from the south and demon kings from the north come to visit me. I have gradually come to realize that I am extraordinary. Fellow Daoist, there is no need to test me any further."
These words were like a flying sword, almost piercing Fang Wuchen's skin.
He could only give an awkward smile and bow apologetically: "I was impolite—Fellow Daoist, you are able to guard this place, protect this region, and bring blessings to all people; your merits are immeasurable—"
"hehe----
"But Master Suqing just sneered a few times: "I just feel that the world is so vast that there is nowhere to go. On the contrary, I can cultivate here without being disturbed by demons or demonic cultivators. This shows that there are still important figures in the demonic path and on Luofeng Mountain who need my help. I can get a chance to catch my breath."
A woman of Jin's destiny is destined to stir up trouble; she certainly understands this.
Fang Wuchen originally planned to travel the world and seek out fellow Daoists, but now he felt the waters were too deep and wanted to go home—no, to squat in Taihuangtian.
After chatting for a few more minutes, seeing that Master Suqing knew nothing about his origins, yet could effortlessly employ various [Horn Wood] Daoist techniques, even applying them in different ways, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He stood up solemnly and said, "I have disturbed you greatly today, I shall take my leave—"
"You spied on me before, and you think you can just walk away without apologizing?" Master Suqing said slowly, "There's no such thing as a free lunch."
Fang Wuchen's expression turned cold: "Then what does this fellow Daoist wish to do? Compete with me in a contest of supernatural powers?"
"In a contest of supernatural powers, I may not be a match for you, fellow Daoist—but you have a family and a career—" Su Qing Zhenren smiled slightly.
This is the norm among True Persons of the Purple Mansion. Below the level of Great True Person, even if they can be easily defeated, the opponent can simply hide in the Great Void, making them extremely difficult to pursue and kill.
Therefore, mutual distrust and compromise are the daily routine among the Purple Mansion Immortals.
"What happened before was my fault. I'm willing to offer a 'Netherworld Profound Virtue Pill' as compensation, what do you say?"
Fang Wuchen forced a smile.
This "Yan Tu Xuan De Dan" is a secret pill from the Taihuang Heaven, which can help cultivators in the Purple Mansion achieve perfect supernatural powers. It is considered a pretty good pill for the Purple Mansion.
"There's no need for that. I was patrolling the nearby Void earlier and discovered a secret cave dwelling, which may be the place where a fellow Daoist passed away. However, it is isolated and difficult to explore."
Master Suqing said, "Fellow Daoist, accompany me to explore this place. If we gain sixty-four percent of the spoils, we can consider this matter settled. What do you say?"
Fang Wuchen's eyes darted around as he considered the risks: "If it's just a secret location, why don't you take it yourself, fellow Daoist?"
"The forbidden spells of that secret place are quite profound, and it's also protected by 'water spirits'—"
Master Suqing shook his head: "It is beyond my ability to accomplish this alone."
"Water spirit?"
Fang Wuchen was taken aback. Earth element is good at raising spirits and monsters, and the so-called "water spirit" is also a kind of spirit and monster, but it is more inclined to the water element and the first-class of imperial conferment.
Legend has it that certain highly virtuous water spirits can transform spiritually rich mountain springs and rivers into water spirits or water deities.
When this development reaches its limit, it naturally becomes the attendant deities and messengers under the guidance of the True Lords of Water Virtue.
Of course, whether it is a Golden Core Envoy or an Imperial Water Spirit, it means that one's cultivation is blocked, there is no way to advance, and there is no way to continue to break through through one's own cultivation.
"If it's a water spirit, then I might be able to help you, fellow cultivator—"
Fang Wuchen smiled slightly; his own [Stomach Earth] still held a certain authority over spirits and monsters.
Moreover, the "Four Gods Robe" he wore also housed four late-stage Dao Foundation Establishment Earth Spirits. If he were to set up an array and preside over it from the center, he could easily crush ordinary Purple Mansion Water Spirits.
"That's excellent, let's go!"
Master Suqing adjusted the wooden sword at her waist and stepped into the void.
Fang Wuchen was taken aback by Su Qing Zhenren's decisive actions and, after a moment's hesitation, followed her.
In the vast, misty void, a beam of light from [Horn Wood] and a beam of light from [Stomach Earth] alternated as they traveled.
"I wonder which lineage that secret place belongs to?"
For some reason, Fang Wuchen felt inexplicably uneasy and asked a question.
-
"It should be [Wall Water] — this water has the beauty of metal water, and it is also water that nourishes wood — according to my calculations, it should contain a Purple Mansion spiritual object — 'Heaven-Given Water,' which is very beneficial to my cultivation. I am determined to obtain this object."
Suqing Zhenren said.
"It's actually water born from heaven?"
Fang Wuchen's eyes widened. He had naturally heard of such a famous Purple Mansion Spiritual Object.
"Heavenly One Water" can cleanse the Dao foundation of impurities, elevate comprehension, and suppress Dao transformation—even if a Grand True Person of the Purple Mansion is seriously injured in Dao transformation, taking it can easily cure them. Furthermore, it can transform a Dao foundation cultivator who takes low-grade true water, giving them hope of reaching the Purple Mansion realm!
In terms of value, it is even more valuable than those spiritual objects in the Purple Mansion that can assist in catalyzing supernatural powers.
Furthermore—the [wall water] nourishes the wood, no wonder this woman is so devoted to him.
Fang Wuchen was traveling through the void when, not long after, he saw Su Qing Zhenren stop, draw her wooden sword from her waist, and slash forward.
The void trembled, and a secret realm appeared.
Tick tock!
A drop of ink falls, creating countless ripples.
When Fang Wuchen entered, he found himself in a cave.
The cliff face was damp, covered with moss and other vegetation.
"This is... a secret place? It already feels like a blessed land."
Fang Wuchen sighed.
A typical secret place is probably a cave dwelling hidden in the Purple Palace, only the size of a few rooms.
And this secret place, the caves he had seen, were far, far larger than anything else—
"Hmm, it could also be a fragment of a blessed land—"
Su Qing took a step forward and immediately felt a sense of clarity.
Ahead lay a massive underground cavern, where endless streams converged to form a large lake.
The lake water was pitch black, and in the middle of it was a high platform with a bowl of water on it.
This water is exceptionally beautiful, meandering and flowing, yet never straying beyond the boundaries of the high platform.
"Water is born from heaven?!"
Fang Wuchen's heart stirred, and then he heard a splash, and a water spirit appeared on the water's surface without him noticing.
Its appearance resembles that of a mermaid, but its body appears somewhat ethereal, as if it were entirely composed of water.
Upon seeing the outsider, it immediately sprayed out a stream of water.
Splash!
The waters of the great lake churned and transformed into nine water dragons, surging and encircling the flow of water.
"It really is a demon from the Purple Mansion!"
Fang Wuchen pressed down on his robe, and divine forms of deer, bats, pheasants, and other creatures appeared, transforming into four great spirits who said, "Please give your orders, Master!"
"Set up the formation!"
Fang Wuchen made a hand seal, and a phantom giant cauldron appeared, which was the divine power - the Refining Yuan Cauldron!
The four earth-element spirits spread out in all directions, like the four legs of a cauldron, their forms suddenly growing incredibly tall. They seized a water dragon and began to tear at it fiercely.
Splash!
The endless water light crashed into the giant cauldron, exploded with a bang, turned into a sky full of water vapor, and was then completely swallowed up by the giant cauldron.
Fang Wuchen opened his mouth and swallowed a stream of water, his cheeks slightly flushed, as if he were drunk: "Sweet and refreshing, with an earthy taste, it is indeed [Wall Water] — but [Wall Water] is water that is stored within, and since the fountain here forms a lake, it also has some of the taste of [Basket Water] —"
He produced a precious cauldron in his hand, its mouth facing down, and used it to capture the water spirit. A bright green light then flashed.
Unbeknownst to many, Master Suqing had already arrived on the high platform. With a wave of her hand, "Heavenly Water" appeared in her sleeve.
