Chapter 55 The Qi of Taiyin
The full moon hangs high in the sky, its clear light like a ribbon, and the soft moonlight pours down, enveloping the entire Luoyue Lake in a hazy glow.
Lin Yuan finally understood why the city was named after the Falling Moon.
The entire lake surface seemed to be covered by the setting moon, as if the moon in the sky had come down to earth.
"Such a wondrous sight is probably rare even in the cultivation world," a disciple remarked.
The disciples of the Sword Sect, who had extensive contact with the mortal world, had never seen such a sight before.
"The reason why the true dragon's descendants rebuilt the water palace should now be settled."
"This spectacle alone is enough!"
However, the sect leader and elders of the Sword Sect had a completely different feeling.
"Sect Master, I sense that the Yin energy here is far more concentrated than in other Yin-rich areas. Could it be that the True Dragon's remnant is planning to harvest Yin energy here?"
The so-called Taiyin is the most supreme Qi in the world, the Qi of Taiyin.
It was born in the primordial era, the origin of heaven and earth, yet only a handful of people in the world have been able to successfully collect it.
Here, the yin energy gathers and the moonlight shines down, making it an excellent place to gather the yin energy.
"It is indeed possible." The sect leader did not deny it. "However, the Taiyin is not so easy to obtain; only those who have entered a state of constant meditation can come into contact with it."
"In any case, this place is not simple. There are probably many treasures related to the moon in the water palace, and there may even be high-quality moon essence."
Upon hearing this, the elders were overjoyed.
Moonlight is a sacred object for spiritual practice.
Like the weather, moonlight is divided into three grades and nine ranks.
Lower-grade moon essence, from first to third grade, is mostly used by cultivators in the Fetal Breathing Realm, while third-grade moon essence is also used by cultivators in the Qi Gathering Realm.
Medium-grade moonlight, grade four to six, is mostly used by cultivators at the Qi Gathering and Foundation Establishment stages.
Superior Moon Essence, whether it is seventh grade or higher, is a treasure that only Golden Core True Monarchs can obtain, and it has great uses.
Since the sect leader said it was high-quality moon essence, then it must be at least grade four or higher.
It is of great use to these Qi-gathering elders.
If one is lucky enough to possess a sixth-grade moon essence, it would be a great opportunity for the sect leader.
"The fortunes of heaven and earth are ever-changing, and opportunities keep popping up one after another."
"Even in my Xuanling Domain, a water palace with the lineage of a true dragon has emerged. The entire Yuan Realm is almost infinite. How many opportunities must there be?"
The elders talked as they kept their eyes glued to the full moon, afraid of missing it.
Before long, the lake surface began to ripple. At first, there were only small waves, but as time went by, the waves grew into large waves, and finally, they even became giant waves tens of meters high, crashing towards the surrounding area of Luoyue Lake, as if all the lake water had been splashed out.
Upon seeing this, Lin Yuan's expression changed slightly.
It defies all logic that such a terrifying wave could form within a lake.
Fortunately, the elders of the sect came, otherwise the entire Luoyue City would have been a swamp, and hundreds of thousands of people would have suffered.
"Lu Qing!" the sect leader called softly.
Immediately afterwards, a graceful woman dressed in light blue stepped to the front.
Lin Yuan heard the explanation from the others.
That was Lu Qing, the peak master of Water Sword Peak, one of the sect's main peaks.
The Qi she gathers in the Qi Gathering Realm is called "Clear Wave Spiritual Qi," and she is extremely skilled in water-based techniques.
Lu Qing arrived at the forefront and gently waved his sleeve. Instantly, it was as if invisible waves spread out, and the giant waves that had been roaring and threatening to destroy everything seemed to have time stopped, freezing in the air without moving.
With another wave of her hand, the giant wave began to flow backward, slowly receding back into Falling Moon Lake, as if the devastating scene had never happened.
"Well done." The sect leader nodded slightly and said with a smile.
Lu Qing shook his head and said, "These giant waves were brought out by the emergence of the Water Mansion, not controlled by the power of the Water Mansion. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't be a match for the True Dragon Bloodline in the realm of water."
"Sect Master, the Water Palace has appeared!"
Everyone looked towards the surface of the lake.
After the waves subsided and the moonlight faded, visibility gradually improved, and a massive palace suddenly appeared on the lake.
The main body of the palace is moon white, with no connecting parts, as if it were carved from a huge moon white stone, and the decoration is magnificent and jewel-encrusted.
A towering gate, several tens of feet high, stood before them, wide open, though covered by a dark blue curtain of water, obscuring the view inside.
"Look above the palace!" an elder exclaimed, noticing something amiss.
Everyone's gaze instinctively shifted to the top of the palace.
There stood a sculpture of a dragon spitting out a pearl, and countless drops of moonlight fell upon the palace, only to be absorbed by the dragon pearl.
"Indeed, this water palace was built to collect Yin energy," Chen Changming said.
Such an obvious scenario makes it easy to judge.
"Moreover, the effects of the Water Mansion are still present today. It probably contains a large amount of Yin energy, and the moonlight is not lacking. It may even contain superior Qi related to Yin."
Upon hearing this, many cultivators at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage in the Sword Sect stared intently.
They knew that the Qi of Taiyin was rare, but the superior Qi related to Taiyin was also subtly superior to other Qi.
If so, it would be an incredible opportunity for them.
Of course, no one acted impulsively as the sect leader had not spoken.
All eyes were on the sect leader.
The sect leader did not hesitate.
The emergence of the Water Palace has caused a great stir, and news of it will likely arrive soon.
The Sword Sect seized the Immortal Opportunity, so naturally they had to make use of it.
He said, "I'll give it a try."
Immediately, a figure stepped out from beside him.
This person looked exactly like the sect leader. After appearing, he rushed towards the water mansion without hesitation and stepped into it.
After a short while, the sect leader spoke up, saying, "This water palace has no restrictions, and everyone can enter it. However, whether there are hidden dangers within is still unknown."
No one refuted this statement.
The fact that the true dragon's lineage disappeared, yet the Water Palace remains here, is quite strange in itself.
If someone deliberately stays here, it's definitely not out of kindness.
They have too little information.
Of course, it's also possible that they are overthinking it.
In this world, there is no shortage of accidents. Even the descendants of a true dragon may encounter accidents and perish outside, forcing the Water Palace to remain here.
After a long silence, the sect leader spoke, "My avatar will investigate for one hour. After one hour, I will inform you of all the information. At that time, it will be up to you whether you wish to enter."
"Striving for opportunity, life and death are in one's own hands."
"Thank you, Sect Master!" All the elders and disciples of the Sword Sect responded respectfully.
It is an honor to have a Dao Foundation Realm cultivator personally help investigate danger.
Of course, not everyone thinks this way.
For example, Wang Qiudao, as a former Foundation Establishment cultivator, felt that he understood Foundation Establishment cultivators very well. He cursed inwardly: "What kind of investigation into danger is this? It's just selfishness. They want to take all the opportunities into their own hands. In the end, they'll probably only leave some scraps behind."
He originally wanted to rely on his own luck to take advantage of the chaos and seize the greatest opportunity.
"How come this is different from what I remember... The Sword Sect Master didn't come in my memory."
