"The sky is clear now. The Immortal Lord must have solved all your problems."
Standing on the central platform of the Immortal Palace, Lu Nanzhi glanced around. The golden crow was high in the sky and the rays of light were brilliant. Except for the area around the Immortal Palace which was shrouded in clouds and mist, other places were cloudless. It was a rare sunny day.
Jiang Yuebai was controlling the Haha fish she had conjured out of water, trying to blend into the school of Haha fish. However, as soon as she got in, she was attacked by the school of Haha fish and splashed water all over.
Haha~
Haha~
Haha~
The fish laughed mercilessly. Jiang Yuebai scratched his head in confusion. "They are exactly the same. How did they get discovered again? I'll ask the Immortal Lord later."
Boom!
Thunder roared in the clear sky, wind and clouds howled, and the ice-blue mist that Lu Nanzhi had just condensed in his hand was blown away by the strong wind.
Lu Nanzhi glanced at it, shook his head and laughed.
They have been practicing in the Immortal Palace for more than three years, and Lu Nanzhi has also observed the patterns of weather changes.
Every time the weather clears up, it means that the Immortal King has finally solved Jiang Yuebai’s problems and feels relieved.
Then after a few days, the Immortal King came out to discuss Taoism with them. Whenever Xiaobai asked too many questions, the weather would become gloomy.
For the next forty-nine days, weather changes were often determined by the difficulty of Xiaobai's questions, but as her questions had become more profound and complex over the past two years, there were more thunderstorms in the Jiuhe Realm than in the previous two years.
It can be seen that the Immortal King is in a very heavy and depressed mood.
Although she felt very sorry for the Immortal King, Lu Nanzhi was very grateful to Xiaobai, because many of Xiaobai's questions were also the questions she wanted to know, and she could get the answers without having to "offend" the Immortal King.
And Xiaobai, although he knew what was going on, was still "playing dumb". He had grasped the Immortal King's pulse and knew that as a Mahayana Immortal King, it would be a loss of status if he could not answer the questions of the Nascent Soul cultivator and got angry over such a "little" question.
Xiaobai pretends to be ignorant even though he knows the truth!
During the three years of training in the Immortal Palace, thanks to Dao Shi and the teachings of the Immortal Lord, Lu Nanzhi's understanding of the way of water has become increasingly profound. Although he had obtained the Xuanming True Water before, he had never been able to control it perfectly.
Now, let alone the Xuanming True Water, she can tame even several more True Water and Spirit Water with different characteristics.
At this time, the surrounding clouds and mist once again turned into streams of water, forming the appearance of Immortal Lord Chongming.
Jiang Yuebai's eyes lit up, and he rushed over with great enthusiasm, bowing and greeting.
"Greetings, Immortal Lord. Has your practice been going well recently?"
Immortal Lord Chongming raised his hand with a slightly tired look, motioning for the two to sit down.
As usual, Immortal Chongming first returned the box of jade slips to Jiang Yuebai, which contained his comments and answers.
Afterwards, he asked Lu Nanzhi about his practice progress during this period and answered Lu Nanzhi's questions.
Jiang Yuebai was not in a hurry either. He sat beside her with a smile and looked through the box of jade slips.
Finding that some of Immortal Lord Chongming's answers were ambiguous, Jiang Yuebai picked out the jade slips and placed them on his right hand side, and those that looked fine were placed on his left hand side, and then examined them carefully to understand them thoroughly.
While watching Lu Nanzhi demonstrate the sword techniques, Immortal Chongming's eyes swept towards Jiang Yuebai's right hand. Every time Jiang Yuebai placed a jade slip there, Immortal Chongming's eyes twitched.
The white clouds around the fairy palace turned black, the sky dimmed, and soon it was covered with dark clouds, wind and rain.
Immortal Lord Chongming took a deep breath, and the dark clouds dispersed slightly, allowing some sunlight to come in.
If Jiang Yuebai's questions had not been able to help him 'find out the gaps', re-examine his own understanding of the various Taoist knowledge along the way, and help him change his perspective on the problem from the details, thereby promoting the maturity of the Taoist fruit, he would have already... Alas!
After entering the Void Refinement Stage, most cultivators will begin to practice alone. Due to the existence of Dao erosion, they cannot have too much contact with other cultivators, and they cannot discuss Dao openly. They can only figure out everything on their own.
It has been many years since Immortal Lord Chongming thought about problems so intensively and systematically. He thought that his knowledge had reached the top level, but now he realized that there is still room for improvement.
This previously unnoticed 'space' is what he needs to fill in order to continue his advancement.
Compared to this, if you feel depressed, then you are depressed.
Lu Nanzhi's progress and improvement still made Chongming Immortal Lord very satisfied, and the idea of accepting him as a disciple became stronger and stronger. However, Chongming Immortal Lord secretly calculated that Lu Nanzhi's fate was slightly related to the demon clan.
Before figuring out what this connection means, Immortal Lord Chongming still needs to observe Lu Nanzhi for some time. He only hopes that his personal teaching will prevent Lu Nanzhi from going astray in the future.
"Do you have any other questions?" Immortal Lord Chongming asked Lu Nanzhi.
Lu Nanzhi put away his sword, sat down, and looked at Jiang Yuebai.
Immortal Lord Chongming sighed silently. Okay, he knew that the problem was on Jiang Yuebai's side.
Immortal Chongming looked at Jiang Yuebai, "You..."
The air was stagnant, and even the laughter of the laughing fish was half-muffled.
Immortal Chongming took a deep breath. He had seen ancient books turned into spirits. They were also obsessed with reading and devouring knowledge, but they didn’t have as many questions as Jiang Yuebai. Their thoughts were so divergent that it was impossible to understand the pattern.
"You have to ask yourself what it is. If you think it is, then it is. If you think it is not, then it is not, even if others think you are."
Jiang Yuebai frowned and nodded slightly, "It's just a very spicy rabbit leg. If I don't think it's spicy, then it's not spicy. If Anan thinks it's spicy, then there's something wrong with Anan's mouth."
Lu Nanzhi said expressionlessly, "I don't eat rabbit legs."
Immortal Chongming took a breath, "You are using twisted logic and have no respect for established facts. It's... forget it!"
Immortal Lord Chongming had suffered a loss once, and if he continued to discuss this kind of issue, he would not be able to defeat Jiang Yuebai for at least ten days or half a month.
Jiang Yuebai had a bewildered look on her face. She just wanted to know, if someone said she was not a human in the future, how should she respond? Wouldn't it be more convincing to use the Immortal King's theory
Immortal Chongming stretched out a hand weakly, "If you have any other questions, please hand them over. I will continue my retreat."
It was clearly him who answered their questions and resolved their doubts, so why did he now feel like he was receiving homework, which he couldn't finish on the spot, so he had to go back and work overtime and squeeze in time to complete the assignment
Jiang Yuebai took out a new box and glanced around secretly. Apart from the darker clouds, there was no thunder. It seemed that the Immortal King had adapted to the situation.
Jiang Yuebai handed over a box full of jade slips and whispered, "My Lord, please don't leave in a hurry. Can I ask you one more question?"
Immortal Lord Chongming waved his hand and sucked the box into his sleeve. It felt heavier than before. His mood became worse and worse, and the wind around him became stronger and stronger.
"Ask."
Jiang Yuebai leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "I often see words like 'Water benefits all things without competing, and the sea accommodates all rivers and is great because of its tolerance' in books. And you told me before that you can only seize the Tao of the same kind and the Tao of mutual generation. The Taos that counteract each other will conflict with each other."
"Then if you use the Dao Fruit of Water as your foundation and make use of the characteristic of water that it can contain everything, theoretically, can you take away all Dao Fruits? All Daos will return to one?"
Snap!
A bolt of lightning suddenly struck in front of Jiang Yuebai, and the air currents on Immortal Lord Chongming's body surged, instantly protecting Lu Nanzhi and Jiang Yuebai.
The ground of the entire fairy palace began to shake violently like boiling water, the surrounding dark clouds rolled and collided, and the thunder was deafening.
Immortal Lord Chongming was indeed frightened by Jiang Yuebai's 'reckless words'. He quickly took a deep breath to steady his mind, and the Immortal Palace and the weather stabilized again.
"I don't know the answer to this question, and I have no way to answer you. After all, it is difficult enough to specialize in one Tao and keep one Tao fruit. If you are greedy for other Tao fruits, I am afraid it will be counterproductive and cut off your own path to immortality." Chongming Immortal Lord said slowly.
Jiang Yuebai lowered her eyes. This was because when she had combined the five elements into one, she had used the water spirit as the foundation and was able to successfully integrate the other four spirits. So she was wondering if she could do the same when she reached the Dao Fruit level.
Could it be that Lu Xingyun cultivated so many chess pieces just to devour other people's Dao fruits, because in the skills she left behind, she mentioned "seeking verification of Hongmeng" more than once.
Jiang Yuebai wanted to know how feasible it was to do this
Chongming Immortal Lord looked at Jiang Yuebai and said, "I overestimated myself before. If I stay with you like this for 30 years, I'm afraid the Nine Rivers Realm will be in danger. How about I change your cultivation method?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Immortal Lord Chongming flicked out a drop of water with his finger, which gently hit Jiang Yuebai's brow.
Jiang Yuebai's whole body shook, and she instantly felt as if her soul was knocked out of her body. Then her eyes went black and she lost consciousness.
"noob!"
Lu Nanzhi looked over worriedly and found that Jiang Yuebai had his eyes closed and was unconscious.
Immortal Chongming stood up and said, "Don't worry, I won't hurt her. Once she has mastered the true meaning of the water and completely absorbed the Kunpeng Eye, she will naturally wake up."
"After that, you will practice here by yourself. I will come to answer your questions every forty-nine days. The way of the sword requires concentration. Don't try to learn from her."
After saying this, Immortal Lord Chongming turned into mist and disappeared. Lu Nanzhi looked at Jiang Yuebai, who looked like a statue, and sighed helplessly.
Xiaobai, oh Xiaobai, asking everything will only hurt you.
You, take care of yourself!
See you tomorrow~
