Qing’s eyes lit up; indeed, quality points were just as effective on Artifact Spirits!
This basin is now surnamed Su.
Qing turned her head, “I want to explore Fenbao Rock, and there are still enemies outside.”
Explore?
The basin clattered to the ground, retracting its feet and handles.
The water inside sloshed, revealing an image of the scene within Fenbao Rock.
All was quiet.
Qing immediately spotted the monk skulking around, searching while trying to escape.
The bronze basin considerately zoomed in on the image, focusing on the monk.
“What is he looking for?” the Toad came over and asked, puzzled.
“He’s looking for this passage!” Qing thought for a moment and then confirmed.
The Buddha mother relics were forcibly taken by her, and the monk was looking for a direct way to leave Fenbao Rock and was thinking of taking advantage of the waterfall’s source to make his escape.
Unfortunately, the Array had shifted its position.
After several searches, the monk failed to find the exit.
His expression grew darker.
Watching the phenomena outside fade away, he steeled himself; Buddha Force surged into the Swastika Symbols on his chest, causing a sudden increase in his Buddha light.
Then, as if covered with gold, the light retracted, clinging to his body.
The monk gradually became invisible and went on his way, taking the main path out of Fenbao Rock.
As he went, he didn’t forget to place spying techniques along the way.
He was searching for Qing!
Monk Kuran’s eyes showed one final struggle; even if the Dragon Turtle had the Peacock True Body and was the Buddha’s Son from Gujing Pavilion, there was no way it could refine the sharira that fast—that was a Bodhisattva’s relic.
Even if the Dragon Turtle burst open its belly, it couldn’t refine it completely.
Being able to lick off a layer was already an exceptional gift.
Find her and somehow snatch back the sharira!
Previously, he had hit a dead end.
With the Dragon Turtle protected by its Turtle Shell, he couldn’t break through its defense, so the next plan was to Supress it and trap both the Dragon Turtle and the relic together, summon the Bodhisattva with incense, and let the Bodhisattva take care of it.
He quietly retreated, leaving behind detection methods on his way back.
Inside the Water Mansion, Qing laughed.
Looking at the bronze basin, she was extremely pleased, “You mentioned before, who is your master?”
The bronze basin quivered, “…Masterless!”
If it had a master, could it be stolen so easily?
Actually, the previous Sect Leader had wanted to subdue it, but before he could, he perished along with the previous emperor of the Sealed Emperor’s Palace, both attaining nirvana.
It had lain here for ten thousand years, yet to be discovered by anyone.
Qing: “…”
She turned to the Toad, “Green Flower, please keep an eye on this basin for me.
First remotely check Fenbao Rock to see if there’s anything that matches what Tai Zu said.”
Right now, it wasn’t good to leave immediately; she had to wait until things quieted down at Ji Feixue’s location.
The Toad responded and kicked the bronze basin, causing it to clang loudly as it was kicked into the corner, using the basin to observe Fenbao Rock.
Qing then returned to the pool, spread the silt evenly on the bottom to prevent others from observing, and only then did she bring the Big Livestock Divination back to the underground Water Mansion.
The Inner World’s Big Livestock Divination was in a frenzy.
Perhaps due to the characteristics of the Hexagrams, the Tao Rhythm of the Big Livestock Divination was exceptionally abundant, rolling toward the smaller Hexagram as if money was no object.
The smaller Hexagram hung on Tai’a Mountain, unable to withstand such stimulation, trembling furiously, in pain yet elated.
Qing lay on the ground, took out a water bead that had turned into a black pearl, popped it into her mouth, and once again circulated her True Yuan.
…
Outside Fenbao Rock, Ji Feixue walked on air, step by step ascending to the Top of Xuanting Mountain.
Around Xuanting Mountain hung Forty-Nine Floating Islands, and atop the mountain, palaces sprawled across the landscape.
The western palace shimmered, signaling her to enter.
It was the first place she should go when entering Xuanting Mountain, but a force inside the main hall drew her straight into it.
As she stepped forward and entered the hall, Ji Feixue was taken aback, a hint of panic appearing on Cold Fairy’s face for the first time.
She almost instinctively wanted to leave, but she forced herself to stay.
Shaking slightly, she looked toward the interior of the hall.
The lavish hall seemed extremely shabby inside.
There was just a rack, filled with carving tools.
A crude wooden chair, a wooden-carved Azure Dragon.
Besides that, there was nothing else!
But she recognized who owned that tool rack with just one glance.
And that Azure Dragon…
Mother!
She had always known her unreliable father had something to do with Guiwang Mountain, and it was possible he came from there.
Now it seemed it wasn’t just a case of possibly coming from Guiwang Mountain.
Guiwang, Xuan, Zhenyou.
They were all equally prominent, yet his tools and wood carvings occupied the main hall of Xuanting Mountain.
Was this the same clumsy Scholar?
A gleam flashed in Ji Feixue’s eyes, and she stepped inside.
What drew her was the wooden-carved Azure Dragon.
Lifelike as if her mother was still alive.
Ji Feixue had always felt her relationship with her mother was average at best.
A mother who never cared about her life or death, who only forced her to advance her cultivation step by step, compelled her to break her limits over and over, who even hired assassins to kill her—how could their mother-daughter relationship be good?
Even though Ji Feixue knew she did this for her own good, arranging every step, forcing her to take action…
Until the day her mother turned into a rainbow and left, rushing over in a fluster to her island, instantly shattering her own scales without leaving a single piece behind, stuffing them all into Ji Feixue’s arms and giving her a deep look.
She vanished into a rainbow before she could even speak.
If the transformation hadn’t happened so swiftly, she would have even broken off her Dragon Horns and shattered her Dragon Claws, her gaze so desperate as if she wanted to turn her entire dragon body into treasures and give them to her.
She never asked if Ji Feixue wanted those treasures…
Ji Feixue followed the pull to the Azure Dragon.
It was as if she saw her mother alive.
She observed the Dragon Claws and the Scales, and her gaze met with the eyes of the Azure Dragon, cast from precious stones.
