Chapter 497 True Lord Xuanming Runji
Half a month later.
Zhan Hongxiu had already left, and Blood Fiend Island, following Fang Qing's instructions, was preparing to find a secluded place to settle down and then transform into a hidden sect.
The Small World of Immortal Cultivation.
After the demonic tide receded, this place regained some of its vitality.
Fang Qing landed on Jade Island, lost in thought and remained silent.
"Less than a year has passed since the three-year period for the Great Sun Tathagata."
I am only 209 years old this year... At this age, in the Qi Refining Path, being able to form a Nascent Soul is already a genius... In the Qi Absorption Path, it is only the beginning of a Purple Mansion True Person's life... Being able to cultivate one or two supernatural powers is already considered lucky.
"But I myself have already obtained the gold, and now I'm asking for more."
He wore a green robe, and the Dao Life Pearl silently circulated. He had already dispelled his Nascent Soul cultivation, leaving only four perfect [Ji Shui] divine escape techniques circulating in his Purple Mansion.
Endless radiance of the [Ji River] rolled over his body, and misty water droplets clung to his face, carrying various images, creating an awe-inspiring aura.
A gentle breeze blew around, carrying the faint sound of a leopard's roar.
correct!
Fang Qing was ready to ask for gold at this moment, hoping to catch the other side off guard.
The Great Sun Tathagata said that the Taiyin (the Moon) [rules the year] for a period of three years or as long as ten years.
But I can't even wait a year!
After all, once you have enough strength, you must make a decision immediately; any hesitation will lead to defeat.
When should one seek wealth?
"Now, right now!"
The Dao-Born Pearl spun rapidly, and in the next instant, heaven and earth intersected.
In the blink of an eye, everything has changed.
What comes into view is a blessed land that has shrunk to more than half its original size; there are still many traces of collapsed temples, and wisps of sacred light still linger on the broken walls and ruins. Occasionally, the sounds of chanting and Buddhist prayers can be heard. This place was a secret place created by the White Bone Path back then, which was almost upgraded to a blessed land. However, it encountered a series of great battles, especially the spiritual atmosphere of "Ping An Cave," which was extremely unfriendly to the blessed land.
As far as Fang Qing could see, the area that was once several townships in size had shrunk to only a few acres, almost disappearing into the void. It was only thanks to the fact that this place had no value and hadn't been targeted for half a year... otherwise it would have been shaken down long ago.
He took a step forward and saw the blazing sun shining brightly.
Now, during the practice of cultivating qi, it's actually noon. The nature of [Ji Water] is yin; when seeking metal, one should avoid noon and other times of high yang energy…
After all, waters are close to the yin, so nighttime is a good time...
Then came the early morning hours, just before sunrise...
Fang Qing smiled slightly: "But if I were to vacate my position, my supernatural powers would be too perfect; it would be somewhat undesirable... It would be better to deliberately diminish my aura. Now is just right..."
He gazed at this ancient Shu land, his expression slightly dazed.
Everything begins here, and everything will also come to an end here.
The scenes he experienced here, from his uncle being chased, to going to the Qi Refining Path, joining the Azure Sea Sect, forming the Core Formation, the Nascent Soul, and even now... everything seemed to flash through Fang Qing's mind, both slowly and quickly.
Then, he chuckled to himself and swallowed the [Ji Shui] pill: "Let's begin!"
Whoosh!
A gentle breeze blew, and dark clouds, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, covered the sky, followed by a torrential downpour.
This rain is extraordinary; it shimmers with a misty light and carries a hint of green. It is sweet rain in the sky and primordial spring on the ground. It is the divine power of the [Ji Water] – 'Primordial Spring Ripples'!
The eight winds blew gently, and the ever-present Xun wind in the world stirred, making the rain even softer, enveloping Fang Qing's entire body. He rose and walked, like an elf in the rain curtain.
"Located in the wind!"
"Ripples spread deep and still, concealing the profound darkness of the constellation Ji; pure and clear primordial fluid washes away the vulgarity of the mortal body. Then, the wind rises from its position, fanning the aura of Xun in the empty courtyard, stirring the spirit to ascend to the Purple Palace, combing through the clutter and clearing away the impurities."
Fang Qing recited the incantation for "Ji Shui" (箕水), and the divine light within his Purple Mansion surged. One after another, springs appeared on the earth, surrounded by lush and verdant forests, with springs hidden among the trees.
It is precisely the supernatural power of the [Ji River] – "Hidden Forest Bank"!
His eyes instantly transformed into two flawless jade stones, a single point of light, the "Ji Shui" aura, shimmered between his brows, and several wooden marks appeared on his face...
Rain fell heavily, gathering into lakes on the earth, reflecting the scenery of the wind, the forest, and more.
Of course, there was also a figure who rose into the sky.
[Ji Shui] Supernatural Power - 'Reflection in Water'!
The four divine powers, like dragons, merged into one within the Purple Mansion, using the 'Primordial Spring' as their foundation and the 'Hidden Forest' as their fuel. The 'Wind' pulsed, scorching the elusive shadow.
Time seemed to pass in a thousand moments, yet it also seemed to be just a fleeting instant.
A flash of golden light!
A bit of gold-like quality was extracted through calcination.
It is precisely the metal element of [Ji Water]!
As soon as it appeared, it landed on Fang Qing's brow, replacing the original radiance. It dimmed for only a moment before bursting forth with a light a thousand times more dazzling than before!
It evokes images of flowing springs, falling rain, gentle breezes, and reflections in the water...
The springs, streams, ponds, and marshes covering the mountains and plains... at this moment, all seemed to become Fang Qing's embodiment, an extension of his will...
This gold-attribute is slightly weaker than the one in Sangji's hand, after all, one comes from a [Ji Shui] master Golden Core cultivator, and the other comes from a [Ji Shui] Grand Master with a Perfected Purple Mansion.
But its ability to moisten and nourish, and to nurture and transform things, remains the same.
In fact, Fang Qing preferred this [Ji Shui] metal element, which represented the culmination of his Taoist practice to date.
And this is when the [Ji Shui] metal element appears.
He subdued the Dao of Heaven and Earth.
"Someone's asking for gold?!"
"There really is a cultivator at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm in this world?" "How could [Ji Shui] be so good at hiding his abilities?"
Countless real people were instantly dumbfounded.
Hidden.
Inside the Fang Family Manor.
Hu Yunshu rode the wind into the air, gazing at the misty waters rising into the sky from the ancient land of Xituo, his brows furrowed with astonishment. "There is actually someone seeking gold through the [Ji Water]." If this cultivator at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm succeeds in seeking gold, it will naturally be of great benefit to Fang Daoling, who is currently in seclusion breaking through to the Purple Mansion realm.
Even if the evil aura fails to reach the cave, the ominous meaning and bad omens it represents are chilling.
More importantly...
"How could they be in Xituo County? That place is full of mountains and was once a battleground... How could there be a cultivator at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm there?"
Hu Yunshu was extremely puzzled.
The sky is too yellow.
The vast lake, with its misty waves, is filled with insects and worms.
The moment Fang Qingsheng forged the [Ji Shui] metal element.
Countless mists obscured the view, within which seemed a colossal creature rustled and moved.
The wind rustled the jade pendants, and the long, wide-sleeved skirt that trailed on the ground was faintly visible. The hem was covered with various kinds of crystal-clear jade stones, and the layers of the skirt were like a mirage in the water. As she walked, various colors of light flowed, creating a magnificent and ever-changing scene.
It was none other than the 'Mysterious and Subtle Primordial Sovereign'!
This [Ji Shui] principal deity, at the moment Fang Qing sought gold, stepped out of the Taihuang Heaven and came to the outside world, causing the [Ji Shui] gold position to manifest in the world!
The water of Jishui is a spring, a rain, a pond, and a marsh, possessing the nature of moistening and nourishing all things, and of nurturing and transforming them!
At this moment, the cultivators of the [Ji Shui] realm also greatly benefited. Fang Qing even sensed the golden position looking down upon him—not just showing favor, but showing special affection!
He no longer needed to use any methods to seek gold; the [Ji Shui] gold position automatically opened its doors to him, allowing him to see the traces, imprints, and Taoist practices left by the many True Lords within.
With just a single thought, regardless of whether he is in a subordinate, senior, or absent position, he can obtain proof!
"Its body is pure and solemn, its nature is endowed with yin spirit, it is hidden in the purple palace, and it corresponds to the stars in the sky."
Fang Qing had already set his goals, so now he naturally sought out a vacancy!
He seemed to hear a soft sigh.
Then, countless raindrops mixed with the wind brought him into harmony with a trace of the [Ji Water] metal position, elevating his status infinitely.
For an ordinary Purple Mansion True Person, becoming a True Lord inevitably involves adapting to and digesting various mysteries…
But for Fang Qing, he first obtained the Divine Pill and then stole the [Xuanxiao], so he was already familiar with the power of the Golden Pill.
At this moment, the radiance and extraordinary phenomena surrounding him subsided, as if he had transformed into an ordinary person. He chuckled lightly, and through the power of the [Ji Water] metal position, his voice carried far and wide through the void: "I am Fang Qing of the Sanshui'ao family! Today I have attained the [Ji Water] position, and am now called 'True Lord of Profound Darkness and Nourishment.' [Ji Water] originally faced the Yin, but since I awakened it, it faces the Yang and shines forth, proving itself to be profound and subtle. I will depart for the heavens, and from this day forward, we will never meet again."
As he spoke, Fang Qing had already stepped into the void.
As he finished speaking the last word, he was about to take a step and soar into the heavens!
At this moment, from within the secret realm, a crimson sun emerged, hanging in the sky like a blazing sun.
In the midst of the blazing sun, there was a being with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, who stretched out a palm, probing into the void, grabbing at it with indescribable power and status!
It's the Great Sun Tathagata! He actually attacked me first?
"Indeed, it was right not to listen to Him!" Fang Qing, now also a Golden Core True Monarch, transformed into a pool of [Ji Shui], flowing towards the heavens.
Just then, the Daoist Master Fu Qi appeared on the bright sun!
Another bright moon hung in the sky, transforming into a pure white jade hand, blocking the Great Sun Tathagata's palm!
"She is the Primordial Sovereign, born from the condensation of the moon palace!"
He actually intervened to stop the Great Sun Tathagata!
Taking advantage of this brief moment, Fang Qing used the moistening properties of the [Ji Water] to reach the outer heavens in one step, and then without hesitation, disappeared into the depths...
"It was Taiyin who saved me? However, neither of them should have been certified as [the Year God]..."
A thought struck him: "Furthermore... it's not safe just to escape to the outer heavens. A Golden Core True Monarch can actually unleash their full potential there. True safety only comes when one escapes to the depths of the outer heavens, is on the verge of getting lost, and can't even take their Golden Position with them, and actively breaks free... It all depends on who comes to capture me. Will it be 'Bodhisattva Akasagarbha'? Or 'Garuda'? Or perhaps 'Mahavairocana' himself?"
Just then, Fang Qing heard a clear and melodious phoenix cry.
His gaze reached far and wide, and he saw a colossal creature flapping its wings and flying into the sky.
This giant bird is surrounded by a kaleidoscope of colors, its plumage so vibrant that it cannot be captured by any painting in the world. The sight of it is dazzling and indescribable.
Its wings spread out, almost covering the sky, accompanied by a sky full of fire. Water and fire combined, and the wind fueled the fire. Its flight was gone, and it caught up in an instant!
"It's actually... Him! The Phoenix!" Fang Qing was somewhat shocked.
He had considered many Golden Core True Monarchs who might come after him, but he never expected it to be this "Great Sage of Blazing Feathers"!
It is unclear whether it has submitted to the Moon or re-established an alliance with the Great Sun Tathagata.
It's even possible that both the Sun and the Moon have reached an agreement!
Why didn't the Great Sun Tathagata and the Moon Goddess pursue us? Are they restraining each other... or are they afraid of the hidden trump card I possess?
After all, I come from the celestial realm created by that Great Sun [the Year God]...
