Fengyunlu

Fengchen witnessed the Golden Crow Emperor's arduous transformation firsthand and understood that it was no joke, requiring considerable energy. The transformed Golden Crow Emperor possessed only a wisp of vitality, which would naturally dissipate over time. Had the Golden Crow Emperor's spirit been present, perhaps he could have held out for a while. But in reality, the Golden Crow Emperor's remnant soul had only a sliver of consciousness, while his true form remained soundly asleep. Even so, the Golden Crow Emperor was still able to share secrets with Fengchen and advise him on his next steps, a testament to his immense power.

"Senior, please continue. I'm all ears." Feng Chen quickly calmed down. He knew that every time the Golden Crow Emperor transformed, that drop of precious blood would be lost, and it was unnecessary. As long as he could explain things clearly, there was no need to waste resources.

The Golden Crow Emperor continued hurriedly. He didn't have much time, so he cut the crap. "Okay, I mentioned earlier that the true body is inside the lotus platform, and that's where the Qilin is hiding right now. If you want to enter the lotus platform without causing a big commotion, you have to transform your spirit body into spirit form, or just use your second spirit to go in, and you'll be able to find the true body. I suggest you use your spirit form because the true body is so important. You have two spirits, which others don't know about. You can also take advantage of the opportunity of your transformation at Thunder Mountain, claiming to perfect your body and re-condense your spirit back into your sea of ​​consciousness. This way, you can conceal your true self. If you encounter a crisis in the future, this will also be a way to save your life."

After hearing this, Fengchen nodded in understanding. Besides Golden Crow Emperor, Lei Gong, and Zhuang Mo, even Long Tiexin wasn't fully aware of his two spirits. Considering his father was gone, it didn't matter whether they knew or not. Fengchen didn't plan to tell anyone else besides these people, because even if they didn't care, there was always the possibility of them snooping around. It was safest to keep one's secrets hidden.

Seeing Fengchen's expression, the Golden Crow Emperor knew he had an idea, so he continued, "When you go in, wrap your Yuan Shen around your body and take the dozen or so scales with you. If the Qilin's main body is asleep, put the scales back and then come out. If it's still alive, you can talk to it. On the one hand, tell it how to treat you and get it to cooperate with you, which will be more effective. On the other hand, you have to be careful. It's best to reach an agreement with it and swear with your True Spirit that it has no ill intentions towards you. Only then can you treat it with confidence. Otherwise, it's a scourge that's better left to fend for itself."

Fengchen continued nodding to show he understood. The Golden Crow Emperor continued, "Now we've come to the real crux of the matter. Once the Qilin's true form is restored, the cursed death energy will become the key. You need to absorb this death energy, along with the Qilin's true form, while shattering the immortal flower. If your cultivation isn't strong enough, the two outside can help you, especially the young woman. She possesses the power of the Yaochi's origin. With her help, this won't be difficult. Also, before this, you must first retrieve a Tongtian Talisman as a carrier. And before refining the Tongtian Talisman, you must first refine the Taiyin Mirror. This must be done first. Once all these things are completed and the Tongtian Talisman is in your hands, then there's no need for me to explain your Thunder Mountain Transformation Method. I believe you've almost mastered the magic of your innate spirit and the techniques of that youngster."

Fengchen nodded repeatedly. The Golden Crow Emperor's previous explanation had been very detailed, even roughly explaining the implications. However, there was one thing he was still unsure about: the Taiyin Sutra had sensed the Taiyin Mirror, and he didn't know how to retrieve the two treasures.

The Golden Crow Emperor also saw his doubts and simply shook his head, not explaining everything clearly. "I understand what you are thinking, but if you want to grow, you have to figure some things out on your own. I have already told you the dangers and necessary measures. The rest depends on your understanding. Don't forget, I was also very impressed by your Dao heart back then..."

As the Golden Crow Emperor spoke, his figure began to become blurred, and the echoing voice became weaker and weaker, until the last trace of blood drifted away lightly, and there was no one in front of Fengchen's eyes.

At the same time, the sun in the sky also withdrew the sunlight it had previously shone and resumed its usual operation. The sunlight was still suspended in Fengchen's sea of ​​consciousness, but it was now tilted to the west, which was different from its previous state.

"It seems that what the senior said is indeed correct. The sun sets in the west, and the Lunar Mirror is nearby." Feng Chen muttered to himself and nodded continuously, but then he turned around and fell into deep thought again.

The Taiyin Mirror and the Taiyin Sutra—these two treasures are the stuff of legend! Anyone who could obtain one of them, while not necessarily dominating the entire Xuanmen, would certainly have no problem founding their own sect. However, Fengchen now faces a significant challenge; he must find a way to acquire both. While he has some idea, he's still unsure how to proceed.

At this critical moment, Fengchen's face showed a conflicted expression. Master Gu Yuan and Fairy Ji Yao stood nearby, waiting to see what he would do next. They hadn't yet realized that Fengchen possessed a being called the Golden Crow Emperor. Seeing Fengchen's expression, they assumed he was just bragging, and now he was about to make good on his promise, but didn't know how to proceed.

"Has Chen'er run into any problems?" Fairy Ji Yao couldn't help but ask. She noticed Fengchen had been standing still, seemingly preparing for something, but in reality, it might be because he'd encountered a problem. Considering Fengchen was still young, it was understandable that he hadn't thought things through thoroughly. He was being left alone now, perhaps because some problems remained unresolved. It would be better to give him a way out, so he could get out of this situation smoothly. After all, even if this plan didn't work out, coming to Yaochi to gain some benefits was part of their plan and made sense.

Master Gu Yuan remained silent. She certainly hoped Fengchen could solve the problem, but she also knew Fengchen was still young and limited in his abilities. Even if he had a solution, it might not work for various reasons. Fengchen had been so confident before, and now he was so inactive, perhaps because he was struggling to finish. Furthermore, as a congenital spirit, even if Fengchen couldn't succeed now, it didn't mean he couldn't in the future. Giving him some help now would be a favor to him in the future, and with Fairy Ji Yao's connections, he wouldn't refuse to help the Yao Chi lineage solve its problems. Therefore, when Fairy Ji Yao intentionally slowed down, she didn't press him.

Fengchen certainly understood what Fairy Ji Yao meant, but he actually had a plan in mind, and it wasn't what they thought. He was just going through all the possible scenarios in his mind, trying to take all the circumstances into consideration so that when the time came to actually act, he wouldn't be caught off guard.

"Aunt Ji Yao, don't worry. Chen'er is just thinking about the whole process and trying to think of all possible situations. This way, he will have a clear idea in his mind and won't panic when the real action comes."

"That's good, but you're still young after all. Don't force yourself or rush things. The future is long, and you have plenty of time," Fairy Ji Yao said again. She still felt Fengchen was too young, but she believed he would become very powerful in the future. However, she didn't think there was any need to force things right now.

Fengchen smiled and responded: "Chen'er understands, but the opportunity is right in front of me, and there are some things Chen'er has to do."

There was a deep meaning in these words. Although Fairy Ji Yao didn't fully understand it, she knew that Feng Chen was now in trouble: "In that case, then do as you please. If you need help from my Aunt Ji Yao, don't hesitate. Master and I will lend you a hand."

This statement also implicated Master Gu Yuan. Although Master Gu Yuan had intended to help Feng Chen, she did not express her opinion directly. Fairy Ji Yao was worried that she would change her mind, so she reminded her from time to time.

As for Master Gu Yuan, not to mention her own cultivation level, as an Emperor for hundreds of years, she had met countless people. Before Fairy Ji Yao even said a word, she already knew what she was going to say. Therefore, she smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, little girl. If this child needs anything, there's no need to ask for help outside the Yaochi. For now, I will definitely support her."

it is good! !

Fengchen had been waiting for these words. He had originally planned to consult Master Gu Yuan directly and ask for her help in finding the Taiyin Mirror. However, considering what the Golden Crow Emperor had said, the Taiyin Mirror was so precious. If it was truly in West Kunlun, Yao Chi might already know about it. Since it was someone else's, asking for it directly would be a bit unreasonable.

Since Master Gu Yuan had already made her position clear, Fengchen couldn't go back on her word, no matter how much she requested. Furthermore, if all else failed, Fengchen would have to reveal the general details of the True Yang Diagram. After all, it couldn't be concealed. If the True Yang Diagram, one of Boyang's three treasures, was still in Yang Bohuan's possession, and he had stolen it from Boyang Valley, how it was handled was none of Fengchen's business.

Back at Thunder Mountain, Fengchen refined the True Yang Diagram and used it to repair Quehai Nei. Although it didn't originally belong to Boyang Valley, it's been in their possession for a long time, and everyone knows it. No matter how much you try to explain yourself about the affairs of the Cangqiong Emperor, who will listen? Who will believe you? It might even attract others' covetousness. After all, whether something possessed can be coveted depends on the owner's strength. But if you prove it's ownerless, then capable people will come and snatch it away, and things will get out of hand. Fengchen's current cultivation level is too low, and anything could happen for his own benefit. He'll eventually be left alone, and it's hard to say what will happen then.

"Now that I have said that, senior, I would like to thank you in advance. I just have something that I would like to ask for your help." Feng Chen followed up the conversation and bowed to Master Gu Yuan first.

Master Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, but his tone was very gentle: "Huh? You are waiting for me. Well, tell me, what do you want?"

Feng Chen smiled again, looking apologetic: "How could I dare? It's just that the matter is serious. If you don't tell me, I'm embarrassed to speak directly."

"Stop beating around the bush, little guy, and stop talking nonsense." Master Gu Yuan scolded with a smile.

Feng Chen quickly replied, "Okay, then I'll be frank. Aunt Ji Yao reminded me of this method for saving Qilin. It's indeed feasible. But I'm a bit stuck. First of all, the Tongtian Talisman is still missing, which is crucial. But there's another more important issue. Once the death energy is drawn out, I need the Taiyin Mirror to refine it, and this must be completed before the Tongtian Talisman can be obtained."

"Tayin Mirror?" Master Gu Yuan frowned, a strange look flashing in her eyes, but she didn't show it. She just looked at Feng Chen straight and asked, "Do you know that the Taiyin Mirror is in my Yaochi?"

Feng Chen was stunned by the question. It was the Golden Crow Emperor who had told him this. Although he didn't know what was wrong, Master Gu Yuan's reaction seemed unusual. However, he was determined to use the Taiyin Mirror this time, and he couldn't reveal too many secrets. So he bit the bullet and explained, putting all the blame on his father. "Senior, I do know. Before leaving, when we were in Xiuquehai, my father told me many things, including this treasure."

"Little guy, you don't tell the truth. Do you have something to hide, or do you think I'm easy to fool?" Master Gu Yuan's face turned cold, and it was impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry. Moreover, when she spoke, two fingers of her right hand moved slightly, and she took back the spirit bead she had given to Feng Chen before, as if she would not give up until she got to the bottom of the matter.

Fengchen was not only not afraid, but was even more looking forward to it, because the more she cared about it, the more likely it was that the Taiyin Mirror was in Yaochi, and Fairy Ji Yao also had a serious face, as if she knew about this matter but found it difficult to say it.

"Everything I said is true. There's nothing I can do if you don't believe me, senior. But you said it so confidently just now, so I believe it." As soon as Feng Chen said this, he stopped Master Gu Yuan.

But Master Gu Yuan was such a man that he wouldn't be easily swayed by a few words. "Don't try to be so rude, little one. I just want to ask you one question: how did you hear about the Taiyin Mirror?"

Feng Chen saw how determined she was and knew that this must be a big deal, at least involving many of Yao Chi's secrets, otherwise Fairy Ji Yao would not have remained silent. Thinking of this, he muttered to himself, "It seems that not many people know about the Taiyin Mirror, otherwise there would have been a story in the Xuanmen long ago. My parents never mentioned it since I was a child, and Senior Jinwuhuang never mentioned it before, and it seems that my father hasn't heard of it either. In this case, it is related to the major events of Yao Chi. Whether this refining can be successful is still a question. Besides, without this guarantee, I may not be able to deal with the dead energy in Qilin's body, and then the treatment will be difficult to continue. Should I tell Master Gu Yuan about the True Yang Diagram now so that he can change his mind, even if he can only refine a part of it, or divide some of the origin for me to drive, so as to improve my sea of ​​consciousness, but..."

However, Fengchen knew that even if he revealed the secret of the True Yang Diagram, Master Gu Yuan's attitude would still be uncertain. After all, the True Yang Diagram's existence could be a significant hidden danger to Yao Chi, and its disclosure could lead to a series of unpredictable consequences. He weighed the pros and cons, considering whether to make this secret public. After all, if it touched upon Yao Chi's deeper secrets, the situation could become complicated and difficult to control. Fengchen knew that his every word and action could have a profound impact on the future, so he had to proceed with extreme caution.
