Entering the fairy palace through the ripples in the river, Jiang Yuebai saw three rushing rivers rising up from beneath his feet, like three huge water dragons, surrounding the magnificent fairy palace above his head.
The entire fairy palace seemed to be made of water, sparkling and magnificent in the sun.
After entering here, Jiang Yuebai suddenly felt a mysterious Taoist charm, like the gurgling of water, refreshing the heart, like a rain after a long drought, making her feel refreshed all over.
She felt as if she had been enlightened. Looking at the Milky Way flowing back around her, all the concepts about water popped up in her mind involuntarily.
Those things that were once incomprehensible and unclear to me suddenly became clear and I understood them naturally.
Even though no one explained it to her or demonstrated it to her, she understood it on her own.
Is this Dao Eclipse? It made her understanding of the Dao of Water advance by leaps and bounds. If we don’t consider the consequences later, this feeling is simply irresistible.
Jiang Yuebai turned his head, and Xie Jingshan and Lu Nanzhi beside him had the same surprised expression, sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxing.
Especially Lu Nanzhi, she is a water spirit, so she must have been affected and gained more.
"Wow, it's so spectacular, but why do we have to let the river flow backwards? This doesn't go against the rules of heaven and earth."
Chu Guidi's soft voice startled the three of them, and they quickly calmed down and focused their attention, trying to resist the effects of the erosion.
Facing Chu Guidi's question, Jiang Yuebai said casually, "One day, when a dragon gets water, the rivers will flow backwards. Immortal Lord Chongming may be pursuing this kind of control over the world, so he set up the Immortal Palace like this."
Lu Nanzhi nodded slightly. The cave of the Sword Lord of Yaoguang Realm was also very spectacular, demonstrating the power of the Mahayana Sword Lord.
Chu Guiyi used his hands and feet to climb to the bow and asked Jiang Yuebai, "How did the Immortal Lord make the river flow backwards?"
Xie Jingshan tried to warn with a hoarse voice, but Jiang Yuebai had already answered casually.
"The Great Vehicle Immortal Lord must be using the power of the law. He possesses the Dao Fruit of Water. With just a thought, he can make the rivers flow as he wishes. If ordinary cultivators want to make the rivers flow backwards, they can only use their spiritual consciousness to pull them, like this."
Jiang Yuebai's eyebrows moved slightly, and a stream of water immediately flew out from the nearby reversed river, surrounding Chu Guidi like a ribbon. There were also two small fish in the stream, which flicked their tails in panic, splashing water all over Chu Guidi's face.
"Wow~ When will I be able to have spiritual awareness and play with water like this?"
"Generally speaking, you start to cultivate your spiritual consciousness at the seventh level of Qi Refining. But if you start to concentrate on feeling the existence of your thoughts from now on and find a suitable training method, you can have spiritual consciousness as early as the fourth level of Qi Refining. To be specific, I was killing insects in the fields back then..."
While Jiang Yuebai was taking Lu Nanzhi and Xie Jingshan to the Immortal Palace, she told Chu Guidi about how she accidentally developed spiritual consciousness while eliminating insects in Huaxi Valley of Tianyan Sect.
Knowing that she was the reincarnation of Jing Chujun, Jiang Yuebai recalled the time when she and Jing Chujun were on the boat heading to the North Sea of Qinglong Realm. They sat together and discussed issues with each other.
Because both of them were interested in many miscellaneous subjects and had similar interests, Jiang Yuebai also felt that he had met Jing Chujun too late because of his profound knowledge.
It is precisely because of Jing Chujun's influence that Jiang Yuebai has a natural liking for the current Chu Guidi and is willing to talk to her more to satisfy her thirst for knowledge, which is the same as Jing Chujun's.
Chu Guidi's eyes were shining brightly, and her impression of Jiang Yuebai changed greatly.
"Master Wangshu, you are amazing. My master never told me in such detail. He only said..."
Chu Guidi began to imitate Xie Jingshan's usual serious demeanor, with her hands on her hips and a sullen face.
"You don't even know something so simple, and you're asking me? Aren't you embarrassed to tell others about it?"
"Cough! Cough cough cough!"
Xie Jingshan coughed violently and glared at Chu Guidi with frowned eyebrows.
Chu Guidi said directly, "Master, can you please wash your face and stop pretending? It makes me feel uncomfortable."
Jiang Yuebai looked over suspiciously, Xie Jingshan's old face turned red, and he walked to the front in a pretentious manner.
The group soon arrived at the entrance square of the Fairy Palace. The ground was made of transparent and colorless glazed bricks, which were condensed from water. Every step they took on it would create ripples that spread around, making the sound of stepping on water.
Chu Guidi thought it was fun, so she ran around, hopping on one foot, stepping on both feet, and even poking at a nearby pillar with her fingers to scare away the fish inside. She was truly a child at heart.
In the distance, the gate of the fairy palace that reached the sky was tightly closed. Inside the gate, there were schools of lupus, with fish bodies and bird wings, which made mandarin duck-like sounds from time to time, guarding the gate of the fairy palace.
At this time, ships were neatly placed on both sides of the square, with large flags representing their respective forces flying on them. A quick glance showed that there were quite a few people on them.
Not to mention the low-level disciples, there are hundreds of people from various families, sects, independent cultivators, and Nascent Soul cultivators from outside.
Jiang Yuebai didn't know whether Immortal Lord Chongming's secret realm could support so many people fighting inside with such a big fuss.
Everyone was very sad to see Lu Nanzhi and Xie Jingshan, but compared to Xie Jingshan who joined another sect, the senior was better to Lu Nanzhi who practiced magic.
Jiang Yuebai had been watching from the side and found that Xie Jingshan was very calm and did not get upset by the sarcasm of a few seniors.
People have hearts, and the hearts of immortal cultivators are also hearts. These predecessors can work hard for the Tianyan Sect here, so they will naturally have some complaints about Xie Jingshan.
The reason why Xie Jingshan dared to come was that he had already thought of this moment.
Chu Guidi was honest and quiet at this moment, and she would pull Xie Jingshan's sleeve from time to time to express her comfort.
After discussion, Lu Nanzhi expressed that he would enter the secret realm with Jiang Yuebai in the name of Tianyan Sect.
When asked about Xie Jingshan, he declined.
"My status as a junior is awkward, and I have young disciples to look after, so it is inconvenient for me to participate in this event. I heard that the Tianyan Sect is going to open a mountain gate, and I don’t know what I can do to help. Here are some things, just consider it as a token of my appreciation."
Xie Jingshan took out a storage ring and handed it over with both hands.
Mo Ping, who had always mocked Xie Jingshan for being ungrateful, snorted and showed disdain for this. Zhao Fuyi, on the other hand, raised her hand to take it and thanked him with a smile.
Seeing this, Mo Ping snorted, "Tian Yan Sect took him in and nurtured him for many years. Don't think you can just use a little money to..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhao Fuyi's pupils trembled and he stuffed the storage ring directly into Mo Ping's hand.
Mo Ping was furious. "What's so interesting about this? It's just a revelation... ah? Ah! Revelation... It's a waste of my Junior Brother's money!"
Mo Ping's hands were shaking and he felt like he couldn't hold the storage ring in his hand. He changed from one hand to two hands and held it carefully.
The other several Tianyan Sect's True Gods present looked at the storage ring one by one, and their expressions were more exciting than each other.
There are really... too many!
"I have nothing and my abilities are very limited, but I never forgot the kindness of Tianyan Sect in nurturing me. If I need anything in the future, please feel free to ask me. I will never refuse!"
Xie Jingshan bowed and raised his eyebrows proudly when he lowered his head.
Jiang Yuebai curled the corners of his mouth and looked at Xie Jingshan again at this moment, and began to feel a little familiar.
He is still the same Xie Jingshan who is never short of money and a little bit mean.
After the meeting, Jiang Yuebai took Lu Nanzhi and Xie Jingshan to meet the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Zhuge family who were going to take part in the trial. After greeting each other, Jiang Yuebai gave Lu Nanzhi a copy of the intelligence she had compiled about various forces.
Xie Jingshan also asked for one, wanting to understand the situation in the Jiuhe Realm.
It can be seen that he really wants to contribute to the Tianyan Sect's foothold in the Jiuhe Realm, so he listened carefully when Jiang Yuebai was talking.
This is truly different from before. In the past, Xie Jingshan never cared about the undercurrents between the various forces.
Jiang Yuebai didn't know whether he came here just to represent himself or on behalf of the Zhenwu Immortal Sect.
After three days of gathering, all the participating monks gradually arrived. At noon that day, with the roaring sound of rivers, the gate of the Immortal Palace turned into two torrents, merging into the rolling Milky Way on both sides.
Springs gurgled in the square, and the water solidified into four square arenas. In each transparent water arena, there was a bird-winged fish formed by magic and could speak human words, serving as the referee for the low-level disciples' competition.
Nascent Soul and Spiritualization cultivators gathered in front of the main gate of the Immortal Palace one after another, preparing to enter the interior of the Immortal Palace.
Before leaving, Jiang Yuebai brought Bai Jiuyou, who was wearing the Yanjia shell, to Xie Jingshan.
"Junior Brother Xie is now mature and steady, and has the demeanor of my master. This child and I have a deep relationship. Please take care of him, Junior Brother Xie. I will be grateful!"
As for taking care of children, it doesn’t matter whether you take care of one or two.
Xie Jingshan didn't know that Bai Jiuyou was Jiang Yuebai's incarnation. Jiang Yuebai handed Bai Jiuyou over to Xie Jingshan out of precaution against Shen Mingjing.
In case anything happens in the secret realm, Bai Jiuyou will be the first to know. Without dragging down the Zhuge family and Tianyan Sect, Xie Jingshan is the best helper.
Xie Jingshan was speechless. If he had known this earlier, he would not have pretended. It was easier to act unreliable as before!
I regret it so much!
All debts in May have been paid off, and I still owe the leader 3 chapters in June. For monthly tickets of 500 and 1000, I will add 2 more chapters, for a total of 5 chapters!
I have something to do in the afternoon, so I will update three times today. See you tomorrow~
