Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms

Chapter 402 Jing Zhongyue

Chapter 403 Jing Zhongyue

"What? It's the [Ji Shui] main position?"

I had previously thought this grotto was mysterious, perhaps embracing yin and yang, involving the sun and the moon—but I never imagined it was actually the element of water?

"The Golden Core True Monarch's methods are truly profound; I still cannot see through them—wait, isn't the so-called 'Immortal Palace of Xuanji' a manifestation of the 'Water Illusion'?"

Fang Qing's heart stirred, and she felt a surge of excitement.

He had been searching desperately in the mortal world, never expecting that the real treasure was right beside him, in the Xuanxu Heaven!

Wait a minute—the bloodline that Fang Daoling and the Juntian Pot ultimately point to—could it be this Mysterious and Subtle True Monarch?

Since this Golden Core True Monarch is not in the grotto-heaven, it is possible that he left behind his bloodline in the outside world?

My charming ancestor?

Fang Qing shook his head: It's hard to say—perhaps Fang Daoling will eventually find out it's just a powerful demon at the peak of the [Ji Shui] Purple Mansion realm.

Furthermore, since the main position of [Ji Shui] has already been filled and has not yet fallen—I obviously cannot prove it, although I originally only intended to prove the vacancy—

But—isn't this too much of a coincidence? I'm exactly missing my fourth supernatural power, and then I just stumbled upon it?

Fang Qing took a deep breath and smiled, "I see; then I'll accept one of the [Ji Water] supernatural powers as a deposit—[Ji Water] is a spring, a rain, a pond, a marsh—possessing the wonders of storage, concealment, life, and illusion—I want the supernatural power that represents the illusion of water."

"You found out?"

Bai Ze, the attendant deity, seemed somewhat shocked by the Earth Lord's mastery of water virtue: "The so-called 'Immortal Palace of the Xuanji' is actually a manifestation of this divine power—its name is 'Moon in the Well'! 'Moon in the Well' refers to the water in a well, reflecting the moon's image. It is mysterious and profound, possessing a cool and clear quality, containing a deep and mysterious spirit. Its waxing and waning are cyclical, constantly circulating, possessing the wondrous ability to flow downwards and avoid obstacles, and transforming into all forms of yin—"

"It differs from ordinary supernatural powers, requiring the consumption of two true methods to enter the Dao. One belongs to the water element and is called the Mysterious Qi in the Well," requiring the construction of a jade well, irrigation with spiritual springs, and the absorption of Qi during the waxing and waning of the moon, which takes ten years to complete. The other method is called "Illusory Moon House Qi," belonging to the Taiyin, and although not as rare as "Taiyin Green Qi," it is still quite rare.

"Even if it's Taiyin Azure Qi, I have over a hundred strands in my inventory—"

Fang Qing inwardly scoffed, then laughed and said, "As long as you have the Qi gathering method, it's not difficult—"

I couldn't help but feel a little excited.

After all, once he obtains the cultivation technique, with his talent, he can achieve the "Well in the Moon" supernatural power within ten years at most, possessing all four methods. Generally, cultivation techniques that require consuming two true essences to enter the Dao have their own unique mysteries, such as the "Bridge Sinking Moon" technique of the Old Daoist Sanmu.

If this supernatural power is used as a foundation, it might be able to nourish the Yin energy.

He quietly received the teachings of Bai Ze, the divine servant, and before long, he had mastered all the supernatural powers of "Well Moon".

As expected of the divine power passed down by the True Lord, every word is precious, and in terms of its wondrousness, it seems to surpass the other three [Ji Water] divine powers.

Fang Qing cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Divine Servant. If we survive this great calamity, I wonder if you could bestow upon me the method of seeking gold using the [Ji Water] technique? I dare not ask for anything from you, my Lord; even a single vacancy would suffice."

This is like throwing money away even if you have no chance.

Bai Ze, the attendant deity, shook his head: "The method of seeking gold varies from person to person, from supernatural power to gold level—if it were merely seeking a vacant position, the True Lord could easily devise a method here—but the True Lord is not here, nor is the one seeking gold, so how can it succeed? Giving you the method devised by the True Lord would be like trying to catch fish by climbing a tree—moreover, I cannot make any promises to you or the one behind you on behalf of my master—"

As expected, the new method for seeking gold had to be personally drafted by the True Lord, and even varied from person to person.

Fang Qing's heart stirred, but he wasn't particularly discouraged: "It seems—there really is the method for seeking gold compiled by the True Lord in the Xuanxu Heaven? How about we use it as payment after the great calamity?"

Although this method of seeking gold is certainly not very effective, it is still quite instructive for him.

The key is that after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, one's own divine abilities will increase dramatically. Perhaps this can serve as a blueprint to create one's own method for seeking wealth in vain!

"Can!"

Bai Ze's eyes widened, seemingly not understanding why Fang Qing was so insistent on the [Ji Shui] method for seeking gold, but he still readily agreed.

"Remember our agreement: when the Southern Wu royal family is wiped out, you must send a Purple Mansion to the Grotto Heaven; otherwise, it will be too late—"

He turned and left, and the pure white light that filled the world gradually dissipated.

Fang Qing watched as the clumps of mugwort on the ground became illusory and disappeared—he couldn't help but ponder this.

It seems Bai Ze has truly been driven to a dead end?

But whether or not to stand with Him and fight on is truly hard to say.

That's right, if things get dangerous, he's prepared to just pocket the deposit and run away.

Anyway, getting the fourth supernatural power of [Ji Shui] is already a huge gain.

Of course, even if someone were to be sent from the Purple Palace, it would definitely be Sangji and Kumarajiva—

After the incident at Lotus Blessed Land, Fang Qing certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to send out his own true body now that it involves a battle between True Lords.

Sending a few Dharma Kings is already quite generous, not to mention that we can control them remotely.

Bai Ze left, but promised the power of Xuanji.

Fang Qing was certainly not in a hurry to leave.

He looked around, then suddenly chuckled and stamped his foot.

Rumble!

One after another, topaz pillars rose up, supporting the semi-circular sky, and step after step ascended, guarding the throne at the highest point.

He was enveloped in a mist, and the position he gained from the connection with the Metal element of the Female Earth made "Xu Ming Xuan Sha Tu Bo" appear incredibly tall, with rings of divine light cascading down, making him look like a deity.

Fang Qing walked up the steps one by one, and casually sat down before the throne, tapping the ground with his white bone staff: "Let's begin—"

It's been a long time since the Junshan Gathering was held; I wonder how many are still left.

The main hall was completely empty.

Suddenly, one figure after another appeared, all concealing their forms.

Snapped!

A figure immediately knelt down and kowtowed heavily: "Lord Tu Bo, please save my family!"

"Um?"

Sanmu Zhenren was still a little confused. He only remembered that there was a Junshan Society in Xuanxu Heaven and that there was such a celestial being.

But the other party seemed to have mentioned something important last time, which we have forgotten.

Just as he was feeling uneasy, he saw the man kneel down and thought to himself: "Oh—he seems to be a member of the royal family from a collateral branch of Southern Wu? Is he afraid because Northern Zhou is advancing so rapidly?"

Everyone bowed to the throne, then stepped aside, keeping their eyes straight ahead.

On the throne, Fang Qing glanced at the man and thought to himself, "Good thing I chatted with Bai Ze earlier, otherwise I wouldn't even know what happened and would be completely bewildered."

"Please, sir, save my life—"

At this moment, the figure in the mist continued to plead, its voice like a cuckoo weeping blood.

Xia Yuanqi of the Nine Heavens Fire Palace desires the position of [Winged Fire]—[Winged Fire] is associated with burning, raging, calamity, and devastation, bringing endless war, destruction of kingdoms, and massacre of cities!

After a long silence, the "Xu Ming Xuan Sha Tu Bo" above tapped the throne and said in a calm, unremarkable voice, "He is destined to destroy Southern Wu and even invade Hehuan—to establish his dominance. Without the protection of a Golden Core True Monarch, the Southern Wu royal family will surely become slaves of a destroyed nation!"

These pronouncements, which sounded like a verdict, immediately caused the figure in the mist below to stiffen, as if all the bones in his body had been removed, and he collapsed to the ground.

Sanmu Zhenren was startled: I only knew that Xia Yuanqi was a person at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm, but I did not expect that he would also have the desire for gold. Is the Nine Heavens Fire Palace giving its full support, making it difficult for Wuyue Sword Pavilion to take action?

"My lord—my family is innocent—"

On the ground, the man's mind wavered, and even a corner of the mist dispersed, revealing a bright yellow python robe.

"This person was previously said to be from a collateral branch of the royal family—but can members of a collateral branch wear a python robe? He might be a close member of the royal family, perhaps even one of the princes of the current dynasty—"

Sanmu Zhenren pondered to himself, seeing that Tu Bo made no comment, but simply said, "He who bears the stain of the nation is called the master of the state; he who bears the misfortune of the nation is called the king of the world—your family, since you are based in the southeast and have established your own country, how can you say you are innocent?"

Of course, these are all excuses.

The real reason is that the Li family is too weak!

Although it is considered extremely strong among the Purple Mansion forces, it is still destined to be crushed when facing any Golden Core Immortal Sect without the protection of a Golden Core True Monarch!

Furthermore, Wu Yue Sword Pavilion has already abandoned them.

Fang Qing listened to the information from others and discovered that the biggest issue for the Eastern Taiyi Xuanmen at present was the Northern Zhou's southern expedition.

After a short while, he announced the end of the Junshan meeting, and one figure after another was sent out.

In the end, only Sanmu Zhenren remained below.

"Sanmu—pays respects to Tubo."

Master Sanmu straightened his clothes and bowed respectfully.

"You're not bad—you've actually become a Grandmaster?!"

Fang Qing sensed it for a moment and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Thanks to Your Excellency's great fortune—the spiritual atmosphere of heaven and earth is now beneficial to the Wood element. I have been cultivating day and night and have finally achieved the second supernatural power. At that time, I did not know why, but there was a third immortal foundation in my dantian and sea of ​​qi. So after I was perfected, I tried again by chance and succeeded."

The Venerable Sanmu reported this.

The Three Supernatural Powers in the Purple Palace represent the late stage of the Purple Palace realm! The rank of a Great True Person!

Back then, when Golden Core cultivators were not yet available, it was enough to determine the rise and fall of a major power.

Even today, it should not be underestimated.

After all, the three supernatural powers were perfectly stable and without conflict within the Purple Mansion—which was actually a huge challenge!

Not to mention, there was another promotion in rank, which greatly increased their strength.

Sanmu Zhenren's admission was not out of loyalty, but rather because he had doubts about his own situation.

"Things that have been forgotten need not be mentioned again; the more you know, the more dangerous it becomes."

Fang Qing offered a reminder.

"I see, I will certainly remember this." Master Sanmu quickly bowed in thanks.

Fang Qing looked at him with a hint of pity: This idle cultivator has been activated—yes, to attack Xuanxu Heaven, the strength of the rogue cultivators also needs to be increased. Even with the explanation of spiritual energy and fortuitous encounters, the progress of the rogue cultivator in breaking through to the Great True Person is still too fast—this is the True Lord who will follow, and he is being prepared to attack Xuanxu Heaven!

"The Chuli School — Water and Wood Method — Taixu Lineage?"

Oh, could this sect be descended from the Taixu lineage? Now, the True Lords are using scattered wood to attack Xuanxu Heaven—is that an internal strife within the Taixu lineage?

Fang Qing secretly calculated the cause and effect, and looked at Sanmu with a hint of pity.

"What do you mean by 'useless wood, but fortunately it survives'? — As long as it's in the Purple Palace, there's always a place where the adults can use it!"

In retrospect—this Sanmu Zhenren is quite lucky. He was used twice, yet his cultivation advanced greatly, and he's now a [Fighting Wood] cultivator.

"The Great Master—he's starting to resemble a chosen one of destiny, but this time, he's going to stand against me?"
