Fengyunlu

Fairy Ji Yao blindly worships Feng Wanlin. No matter what tricks he has, she believes them without a doubt. After all, since her debut, every time she encounters Feng Wanlin or hears about him, she has never failed. Feng Wanlin has an indescribable feeling. Whatever he says he can do seems easy, and in fact, it is true. Whether he ventures deep into the wilderness, the northwest, overseas, or north into the netherworld, even in perilous places like the Canghai Giant Tree, where no one has returned since ancient times, Feng Wanlin has always escaped unscathed and even recovered key items. He has even visited those mysterious places sealed off from the ancient world countless times. The demons tried to embarrass him, but they could never stop him...

There were countless such incidents; his life was nothing short of legendary. This was a testament to his prowess. Even at his final moment of death, he managed to drag the ancient demon clan's Nine Netherworld Emperor with him. You have to remember, the Nine Netherworld Emperor was a relic of antiquity; even with his true form obliterated by the formation, he was no match for ordinary Xuanmen practitioners. Even the Five Ancient Emperors could only seal him away, unable to destroy his true form. While the Five Emperors might have had other plans, this in no way diminished Feng Wanlin's significance. He was consistently hailed as the Xuanmen's most promising candidate to unlock the mysteries of the universe, and this wasn't groundless; he truly possessed considerable skill.

It's precisely because of these reasons that Fairy Ji Yao is so blindly worshipful. In fact, she's not the only one; even great emperors like Master Gu Yuan share immense admiration and even faith in Feng Wanlin. This is all thanks to Feng Wanlin's repeated miracles, gradually building his trust in everyone. Just like the righteous, no one who has interacted with Feng Wanlin can help but admire him. Even those in the evil ways, though reluctant, can't help but praise Feng Wanlin when he's mentioned, often secretly sighing, regretting that Feng Wanlin isn't on their side.

"Since Yao'er has something to say, you can give it a try, but you have to tell me your plan so that I can help you think of a solution." Master Gu Yuan nodded.

Fengchen quickly stepped forward and replied: "Senior, please listen to me, my thoughts..."

"Is everything settled?" In Fengchen's mind, the Golden Crow Emperor was smiling, his figure so dim that he seemed non-existent.

Fengchen and the Golden Crow Emperor had just been secretly discussing the need to proceed with the Qilin mission, but outside in the Yaochi Palace, Master Gu Yuan and Fairy Ji Yao disagreed. Fengchen had no choice but to be clever and reassure the two leaders, so that his operation could proceed smoothly and avoid being stopped. After all, Fengchen was too weak right now. If either Master Gu Yuan or Fairy Ji Yao objected, Fengchen would be unable to accomplish anything.

"It's settled. As long as the senior's method works, this trip for me will not be in vain." Feng Chen nodded in response. Although what the Golden Crow Emperor instructed was obscure, Feng Chen could understand the mystery behind it.

This Qilin matter seemed out of reach, but if it succeeded, not only would Fengchen know the secret, but even the Golden Crow Emperor would be able to completely resolve his doubts. Furthermore, with Qilin's help, Fengchen's journey of fortune would naturally be much more effective, and perhaps even yield unexpected surprises.

Considering all this, Fengchen felt it was worth it, even if there were some risks. After all, wealth and honor are sought through risk, and good things don't come easy. Without paying a price, even the benefits offered might be too much to take. The truth is, just because things are okay now doesn't guarantee they will be okay in the future. Unknown dangers are the most frightening. Might as well pay the price now, and feel at peace.

"That's good. Listen carefully to what I am going to tell you next. Don't miss any details. If you don't understand something, ask immediately. I will explain it one by one and try to avoid unnecessary danger." The Golden Crow Emperor nodded.

"Senior, could you please elaborate? I'm all ears!" Feng Chen immediately displayed a thirst for knowledge, knowing full well that relying on oneself was not as good as relying on others. Only by being fully prepared could one avoid failure at crucial moments. For the person in charge, any small mistake could result in huge losses, making it extremely difficult to remedy the situation later. But for Feng Chen, this was a matter of life and death, and no room for error was allowed. With no chance of a second chance, he could only do his best to avoid danger. As the Golden Crow Emperor had said, he had to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"That's right." The Golden Crow Emperor nodded in approval, then began to explain in detail: "You searched and found that the Qilin's life gate is not in the fairy flower. The Nine Immortals Transforming into Lotus has existed since ancient times. It is not unique to you humans, but a magic spell for the demon race to reincarnate. Later, the Great Emperor of the Sky borrowed this spell and passed it on to humans. The key is the word 'lotus'. In other words, the Qilin's true body is actually in the lotus platform at the center of the fairy flower. The fairy flowers and scales on its exterior are all grown by the Qilin to absorb life force. Although the bloodline inheritance of each demon race is transformed into different fairy flowers, the essence is similar. They are all transformed into lotus in the process. Absorbing the power of heaven and earth, it uses it to repair injuries or reincarnate. Finally, once the injuries have healed to their peak condition, it transforms into a human form, even more powerful than before. The stronger the bloodline, the purer the spiritual energy absorbed, and the higher the achievement after transformation. This Qilin is now shrouded in death energy. Given its status, it has been absorbing power from ancient times to the present. Even if it cannot surpass its ancestor, the sacred Qilin, at least no one in the Qilin lineage can achieve the same level of achievement. It's a pity that it has suffered so much misfortune. Even if it can be revived, its strength after transformation will probably be similar to that when it was injured. It is already very lucky to be able to maintain its current cultivation level.

The Golden Crow Emperor's explanation helped Fengchen understand the key to the treatment and the origin of the method. Fengchen listened for a while and learned that the method was originally created by the demon race. The Xuan Emperor had originally used the method of transforming the Nine Immortals into Lotuses to treat the Qilin, perhaps because the Qilin itself was a demon race and this method would be more suitable for treating it. However, the lingering death energy was too stubborn, even the Xuan Emperor was powerless. Furthermore, due to mysterious events, the Five Emperors' transcendence left little time for intervention, and the situation has been dragging on until now.

"Then according to the senior, the Qilin's true form lies within the lotus platform. How do I get in? Or is there any way to repair its vital scales? At the very least, I need to communicate with it and learn how to treat it." Feng Chen questioned again. He was now as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, hoping to resolve this matter as soon as possible. He was obsessed with Yao Chi and would return to the South China Sea after that. With his current cultivation level, although he couldn't completely revive Bai Yu, if he could help her survive and escape the current danger, Feng Chen would feel a little better. At the very least, he would be less worried and could focus on his cultivation, hoping to fully revive Bai Yu in the future and even awaken her bloodline.

The Golden Crow Emperor understood his thoughts, but stressed that this matter could not be rushed. Otherwise, mistakes would be made in a hurry, the opportunity would be fleeting, and the danger would be unbearable. So he waved his hand, signaling Fengchen to be patient: "Don't worry, wait until I finish what I have to say."

As the Golden Crow Emperor spoke, his eyes flickered, noticing the blazing sun swirling across Fengchen's sea of ​​consciousness. The sun's edge was now gradually sinking. This was the Golden Crow Emperor's message, and Fengchen seemed to grasp it. He looked up and asked, "Senior, are you saying that both yin and yang are indispensable? Should we wait until the Taiyin Sutra is recovered before making any final decisions on the Qilin?"

"That's not the case." The Golden Crow Emperor waved his hand again, then explained, "What I'm saying is that your sea of ​​consciousness is currently filled with extreme yang. Because of this, your perception in the Yaochi Lake is not as sharp, so you overlooked the fact that the True Yang Diagram actually has another secret. It is originally one half of the Cang Xuan Order, and the other half is the Taiyin Mirror. As long as the two are close enough, they will call upon each other, which is another key to healing."

"Calling each other?" Feng Chen muttered to himself, carefully sensing the surrounding atmosphere. He had been in Yaochi for some time. Besides the Qilin's call, he had also sensed another mysterious will. At first, Feng Chen thought this will was mysterious and unpredictable, but now, with the Golden Crow Emperor's reminder, he began to realize that it might be somehow connected to the True Yang Diagram.

The Golden Crow Emperor no longer kept the secret and explained directly, "I was still asleep and thought the Taiyin Mirror had disappeared, but now it seems that even if it is not in the Yaochi, it has a close relationship with the Yaochi."

"The Taiyin Mirror is in the Yaochi?" Feng Chen was stunned. If the True Yang Diagram and the Taiyin Mirror were both in the Yaochi, then the two Cang Xuan Orders he held, passed down personally by the Great Cang Qiong Emperor, could be restored. Furthermore, after his sea of ​​consciousness was repaired, the Golden Crow Emperor had mentioned the Cang Xuan Dao, a fusion of Yin and Yang. If he could use the true Cang Xuan Order as his sea of ​​consciousness, regardless of its magical uses, it would at least be of considerable benefit, far more valuable than just the True Yang Diagram.

"That should be right. The setting sun in the west is a symbol of the alternation of yin and yang. Before you entered Yaochi, have you ever seen the sun in the sky move at all when I was asleep? Now it is still going westward. If it is not sunset and moonrise, what other magical creation could it be?" The Golden Crow Emperor nodded, an expression of sudden enlightenment on his face, and some relief in his eyes. I don't know if he was happy for Fengchen or felt that he had chosen the right person.

Feng Chen paid no attention to these matters. He simply reflected on the Golden Crow Emperor's words and recalled the previous events. Indeed, as the Golden Crow Emperor had said, before entering the Yao Chi, even though he had reached West Kunlun and entered Yao Chi Mountain, he had not truly entered the so-called Yao Chi wonderland. His sea of ​​consciousness was always filled with blazing sunlight, with no distinction between day and night, and no intention of coming or going. This was the influence of the True Yang Diagram. Even with the Snowy Night Flying Eagle Spear's slight mitigation, it could not affect the refining of the True Yang Diagram, transformed by the Cang Xuan Ling.

This left Fengchen feeling somewhat helpless. He knew the situation wasn't urgent. At most, it was the Yin-feeling energy that couldn't enter his sea of ​​consciousness, as his Second Soul had only cultivated to the Yang realm. As for the so-called hidden danger, if he couldn't find the Taiyin Mirror in the future, he could find other methods after cultivating to a higher level. But today, the Taiyin Mirror was nearby. Even if they hadn't seen it yet, even Master Gu Yuan and Fairy Ji Yao might not know about it. But Fengchen couldn't be wrong in sensing that will. He also believed the Taiyin Mirror was nearby, perhaps even within the Yaochi.

However, this matter was somewhat unexpected. How exactly did it relate to saving Qilin? Fengchen still couldn't figure it out: "This is indeed an unexpected surprise, but the matter of the Taiyin Mirror seems to only concern me, a junior, and has nothing to do with the Qilin in front of me."

"Do I need to explain this in detail? Whether the combination of Yin and Yang can help you cultivate is not the point. Just perfecting yourself will be quite helpful for you to refine the death energy later. Don't think that your father will be safe just because he helps you refine the power of the magic weapon. He only strengthened your physique. You still have to rely on yourself for cultivation, and your future achievements will also depend on your cultivation. Besides, as for the Taiyin Mirror, once the Cang Xuan Ling's true form is perfected, with the help of your sea of ​​consciousness, it will be equivalent to your physical body taking over. No one knows what kind of fortune is involved. Even I, the Golden Crow Emperor, admire the methods of the Cang Qiong Emperor. What benefits his methods can bring, you can only know after trying them yourself. But one thing is certain, this will definitely be of infinite benefit and enormous power. Maybe you can break through to the Heavenly Rank in one fell swoop." After the Golden Crow Emperor finished speaking, an expectant expression appeared on his face.

Feng Chen couldn't help but feel hopeful. If this were true, then perhaps after returning from Yaochi, Bai Yu could be saved, even without the Soul-Falling Platform. As long as Bai Yu could wake up, then awakening his bloodline, cultivating his own path, everything would have a chance. With the opportunity right before his eyes, how could Feng Chen not smile? "Senior, your reminder is timely. I wonder how this junior should proceed."

"It's very simple. As long as you calm your mind and try to call out with your sea of ​​consciousness, you should be able to sense something. Don't forget, your sea of ​​consciousness itself is almost entirely transformed by the True Yang Diagram. They are originally one and the same, and there are always some unknown connections. And now that you are the carrier, you can say that you are already the main body. When you call out to each other, there will naturally be some sense. But this matter is also not urgent. After I explain everything, you just need to follow the steps, and this matter will most likely be fulfilled as you wish." The Golden Crow Emperor said again, and the illusion on his body seemed to dim a little after he finished speaking.

Fengchen nodded, took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and began to calm his mind. Using his Sea of ​​Consciousness Divine Base, he attempted to call upon the Taiyin Mirror. He concentrated, focusing all his attention on the True Yang Diagram within his Sea of ​​Consciousness. At first, there was no response, but he didn't give up and persisted.

After a moment, he suddenly felt a slight tremor in his sea of ​​consciousness, as if a mysterious force was responding to his call. Then, a soft and feminine force gathered from all directions and surged towards his sea of ​​consciousness.

Fengchen was delighted, knowing that his call had worked. As the feminine power continued to flow in, his sea of ​​consciousness gradually changed. The originally blazing True Yang Diagram blended with this feminine power, producing a wonderful feeling.

At this moment, a dazzling light suddenly emanated from the depths of the distant Yaochi Lake, and a bronze mirror emitting a soft glow slowly rose up. It was the Taiyin Mirror. It seemed to be attracted by Fengchen's call and flew quickly in his direction.

Feng Chen opened his eyes, eyes filled with surprise. He reached out and steadily caught the Taiyin Mirror. At this moment, the two halves of the Cang Xuan Ling finally merged into one, and a powerful and mysterious power instantly surged through his body.
