Chapter 515 Manifestation
Gunfire roared.
Fang Qing strolled leisurely as if in a garden, while the embassy district behind him was a scene of devastation.
"Alright, now... I'm going to tour your fleet."
He looked at the few foreigners at the edge who looked utterly devastated, and his voice carried far and wide.
Under Fang Qing's manipulation, this outdoor rain cloud was also "moving," moving towards the estuary.
On the ocean, dark shapes gradually emerged, getting closer and closer.
This is an ironclad behemoth, the pride of the Westerners. It takes the combined efforts of tens of thousands of workers, hundreds of factories, thousands of enterprises, and dozens of research institutes to create a world-conquering power! At this moment, Fang Qing's message has already reached the ship.
"Rain clouds?"
A lookout, binoculars raised, shouted, "Target locked!"
"Main guns ready!"
The commander was dressed in a white suit with a cape, and his chest was covered with medals of various colors, all of which were spotless.
At this moment, he calmly gave the order: "Flying superhumans are indeed rare... much more powerful than that martial artist we killed before. But in any case, they are no match for the Empire's cannons, which are weapons capable of killing gods!" As the messenger ran back and forth, a thick cannon barrel on the ironclad behemoth was already aimed at the rain cloud.
"emission!"
Amidst numerous roars, a cannonball was fired with a deafening roar. It was infused with high-energy crystals newly developed by the research institute this year; a single shot was enough to collapse an area the size of a football field! As the main cannon roared, numerous secondary cannons also thundered, violent explosions resounding all around, clearly cutting off the last vestige of possibility for the enemy to evade the attack through high-speed movement! Boom!
The earth trembled, and the entire Shenghai seemed to be mourning under the main gun.
Flames filled the sky! Smoke billowed everywhere!
The blazing fire cloud seemed to have completely dispersed the rain cloud, and in this battle between water and fire, the flames gained the final advantage.
"Did you see that?"
Perched atop a tall tower, the observer remarked calmly, "This is the power of the foreigners!"
Liu Qi bowed humbly, his face filled with shock.
After obtaining the true knowledge of the Jishui River, he did feel invincible for a period of time, and even became somewhat arrogant.
But at this moment, witnessing the overwhelming power of the empire, one realizes how insignificant and laughable an individual is under the system!
"Bombardment?!"
Looking at the flames and shockwaves in the distance, Wei Yuan quickly pulled Fang Leiyue beside him, saying, "Be careful!"
Boom!
The shockwave came like a tsunami, carrying countless bricks and tiles.
Even if a martial artist were hit on the head, the outcome would likely be dire.
But at the crucial moment, a flash of verdant light appeared.
An invisible barrier of energy appeared, blocking all debris, flying spikes, and shockwaves.
"Is it...you?"
Fang Leiyue used the trace of the true essence of the Jishui within her body to sense an unfathomable source nearby.
If the wisp of water that had just begun to form within her body was a stream, then the one beside her was a vast ocean!
"Indeed, it is I, Meow..."
Xiao Bai's mouth didn't move, but a woman's voice came from the void, very childish, somewhat like a little girl.
"Ah...a cat? It can talk?"
Wei Yuan was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
"How rude of you, meow... If my master hadn't ordered me to protect you, I would have left, meow..."
Little White strode along, gazing at the distant waves of fire: "However... you humans are truly formidable. Even I, a meow, am severely injured under such barrage... But it's impossible for you to harm my master..." "What?"
For some reason, Fang Leiyue had a strong liking for the handsome older brother who saved her.
Furthermore, the other party seemed to have given her some inexplicable gifts.
Just then, I looked up in surprise and saw a few drops of rain falling.
Even after the fireworks faded, the curtain of rain remained!
Not only is it still there, it's even getting bigger!
As the rain curtain expanded, a deep, resonant Daoist voice resonated directly in the hearts of every observer:
"The water of Jishui is a spring, a rain, a pond, a marsh, and ink; it has the nature of moistening and nourishing things, the power of nurturing and transforming, and the ability to change between clear and turbid states!" Swish!
From within the rain clouds, a stream of clear spring water flowed forth.
It is neither as vast as the sea nor as turbulent as a river; it simply flows quietly…
But in the blink of an eye, it had already taken over the entire sky!
A spring meanders quietly, its flow resembling the gathering of countless raindrops and morning dew, carrying a sense of tranquility and serenity as it gently flows...
The sea and sky merged into one, and the officers and soldiers on those ironclad warships looked up in astonishment, also seeing that clear spring stretching across the starry sky...
It is clear and turbid, it is an inkwell, it is dew, it is sweet rain... it is the water of Ji!
Splash!
The commander's two eyes bulged out, fell to the ground, and transformed into two pearls. Countless streams of clear water gushed from his body, bringing with them coral, mica, seashells... His entire being seemed to be composed of clear spring water and various aquatic products. At this moment, returning to its origin, his Daoist essence disintegrated...
Not only him, but also those thousands of soldiers, only their uniforms were preserved intact, the rest were all blown up and turned into clear spring water... and even more than just people!
Even the steel behemoths weighing over ten thousand tons groaned beneath the clear spring, their bodies twisted and contorted, as if transformed into mud in the hands of a mischievous child, swept away by the spring and arbitrarily transformed into various shapes... Boom!
Finally, a metal sphere weighing over ten thousand tons crashed onto the beach, with a few smaller ones scattered around it...
"Is...is this even human?"
Fang Leiyue gazed at the scene of the sky collapsing and the earth sinking in the distance, as well as the long river of spring water above the bend in the sky, her expression one of shock.
For some reason, I felt the pure essence of the Jishui within my body stirring, and suddenly I understood several key points for its circulation...
"This... thousands of soldiers, tens of thousands of tons of ironclad warships..."
High atop the tower, the observer watched this scene, his face turning from white to red, then back to white, before suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood… “My lord…”
Liu Qi quickly helped him up, but a strange feeling lingered in his heart.
The Great Zhou system was a mountain to him, while the foreigners, with their superior ships and cannons, could even bully the Great Zhou!
Now, the foreigners with their powerful ships and cannons have suffered such a great loss at the hands of that man?
No, that is no longer a human, but a saint, immortal, or Buddha!
But if the other party can do that, what about yourself after the transmission of the Dharma?
There seemed to be flames burning in Liu Qi's eyes, flames of ambition!
"The tide! It has converged..."
Above the sea, the shimmering light of the springs disappeared, leaving behind a figure of Fang Qing.
He stood with his hands behind his back, looking refreshed and full of energy, as if taking the brunt of a giant cannon shot and annihilating a powerful fleet had not taken much to his strength. At this moment, Fang Qing could sense the gathering of tiny "water currents" in the void.
Then... the whole world seemed to be shaken!
【Ji Water】The metal element trembles slightly, as if it is cheering and jumping for joy.
The seed called "acceptance" finally took root and sprouted in this world...
Then came a sea breeze!
This sea breeze comes from the deep sea and blows towards the land, carrying wisps of moisture—truly a spiritual atmosphere imbued with the virtues of water!
Aura!
Perhaps it's because the cultivators who have mastered the true essence of Jishui have reached the required level, or perhaps it's because their own Jishui Purple Mansion has brought about tremendous changes to the world.
The first spiritual atmosphere has finally been created!
"This spiritual aura is dominated by the virtue of water, and is adept at nourishing the waters of Ji... Perhaps it could be named 'Heavenly Wind Nourishing'? Or 'Water Spreading in All Directions'?"
Fang Qing silently sensed the surroundings: "Under this spiritual atmosphere, my cultivation of the Jishui True Steam is progressing by leaps and bounds... Furthermore, Shenghai, as the place where I displayed my divine miracles, is also the center of this spiritual atmosphere. Could it become some kind of sacred cultivation ground in the future? Perhaps even gradually producing Jishui spiritual objects?"
"Perhaps in the future, there will be a city of immortals? Or a city of demons?"
He smiled slightly and raised his hand again.
Xiao Bai immediately transformed into a streak of light and flew over, turning into a snow-white cloud leopard, carrying him slowly towards Sanqing Mountain.
"Clouds lie on the cliffs, oblivious to the years; vines and canopies invade, raising cold smoke. The waves of whales and sea monsters are contained in my sleeves; beneath the rocks, the white stone spring is still being cooked. A single roar leaves the evening glow on a thousand mountains; a lone sail travels ten thousand miles, clearing away the smoke of war. The pine gate is closed, no one inquires; still, the green lamp faces the ancient immortals..." Several months later.
Sanqingshan.
Fang Qing sat cross-legged and opened his eyes.
Little White immediately brought over the wild fruits she had gathered, along with a stone cup filled with sweet spring water: "Master... these are all the freshest finds..." "Hmm, you've become quite clever since you learned to speak with magic..."
Fang Qing picked up a wild fruit and casually tasted it.
He had been refining the laws of the "Inner Realm" these past few days. After all, once the spiritual aura appeared, it wouldn't be long before martial artists entered their own inner realm and sensed the "Inner Realm." "Speaking of which... my system directly extracts supernatural powers from the 'Inner Realm' and returns them to the 'Inner Realm'... so whether it succeeds or not, it won't take decades. It will probably be resolved in a few days of seclusion... but the extracted supernatural powers are not one's own... so they are all subject to the metal element?"
"Forget it, in any case, I don't think this world can produce a seed capable of attaining enlightenment in such a short time..."
Just as Fang Qing picked up his water glass, Xiao Bai said again, "And that Ye Zhuo, he's gone down the mountain again, he's so annoying..."
"Oh? Didn't he become a herb-gathering boy?"
Fang Qing became interested and spoke up.
"Hey... According to him, things are in chaos outside... Apparently, a powerful martial artist, named something like Feng, did something incredible in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty: he assassinated the emperor... He killed the emperor, and then the world descended into chaos. Even the Bao'an Hall in the county town was looted by a group of rebel soldiers. He had nowhere to go, so he came to the foot of the mountain seeking refuge..."
Xiao Bai spoke with a straight face.
Clearly, although it seemed disdainful, it probably got along well with Ye Zhuo and even secretly spoke up for him.
"Sanqingshan isn't mine..."
Fang Qing smiled, which was taken as tacit agreement.
However, he was still quite pleased that a martial artist could accomplish such a great feat.
This person is truly wielding a sharp weapon; the intent to kill arises spontaneously.
"The world is about to descend into chaos... This spiritual aura is truly no exaggeration... The more chaotic the times, the easier it is to forge true martial arts prodigies!"
