Fengyunlu

Let's not discuss Fengchen's past cultivation for now; let's just look at his current situation. He possesses an innate spirit, and his Second Soul sits securely within his sea of ​​consciousness. While the future remains uncertain, at least for now, it's difficult for him to escape. Fengchen trusts the Second Soul's safety within Lei Gong's Purple Palace. However, his own Dao is quite unique, and the path of cultivation is full of uncertainties, making the Second Soul's potential benefits uncertain. Therefore, Fengchen decided not to rush into changing the status quo.

Also, Fengchen has the opportunity in Yaochi. He has to refine the Taiyin Mirror, recall the Taiyin Sutra, and deal with the Qilin matter. There are still many things waiting for him. If he puts the second soul into Lei Gong's body now, it will be troublesome when he needs to use it. So there is no room for negotiation on this matter. Fengchen said directly: "I appreciate Uncle Lei's kindness, but there are still many things waiting for me in Yaochi. The time when my soul will be of great use is almost up, and it is not suitable to escape now. Besides, I think the second soul may be of greater use. Although returning to the original body may be a bit risky, wandering on the edge of life and death is also a kind of experience. Maybe by then, I can get more opportunities and fortune."

"Well, what you said makes sense, but the future is turbulent. If you go out without permission, your life or death is in jeopardy. Since you think so, Uncle Lei, I won't force you. When I return to Lei Ming, we can discuss this matter more slowly." Lei Gong didn't insist on his opinion. He knew Feng Chen still had a place to use his skills, and his second soul might bring more opportunities. Although Yao Chi was a bit risky, as long as Fairy Ji Yao and Master Gu Yuan were there, Feng Chen's safety should be no problem. As for the good fortune Feng Chen mentioned, Lei Gong was concerned, but he didn't care much. As long as Feng Chen was treated well, he was happy.

Fengchen felt a warm feeling in his heart. Lei Gong had always been thinking about him. He even thought that the turmoil in his body during his previous healing might have been due to thinking about this incident, which almost caused him to backfire. The more Fengchen thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct, so he responded, "I understand Uncle Lei's concern for me. I feel ashamed that I almost backfired because of this incident. I hope Uncle Lei will take good care of himself. If I achieve something in the future, I will celebrate with Uncle Lei and repay this kindness."

In Fengchen's heart, Lei Gong was like a close elder. Although they weren't related by blood, their affection for him was incredibly deep, and he had long since treated him like his own child. So, the kindness he spoke of wasn't just polite talk; he sincerely hoped to have the opportunity to repay Lei Gong in the future and fulfill his responsibilities as a junior.

Lei Gong had no children of his own, nor had he ever taken in any apprentices, but in his heart, Fengchen was like his own child and apprentice. Not to mention the inheritance of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Art, he had cared for an old friend's orphan from childhood, and now entrusted Fengchen to him. Seeing Fengchen so sensible, Lei Gong was deeply moved. "Good boy, we'll talk about the future later. Uncle Lei has to go back now. You should stay in Yaochi for now. Uncle Lei will come to pick you up soon."

"Uncle Lei is planning to..." Before Feng Chen could finish his words, Lei Gong interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Don't worry, you have your own path to follow, and Uncle Lei won't stop you. There are just some things I need your participation in, and there will be other arrangements. Just wait here." Lei Gong didn't elaborate, but he had already decided to take Fengchen to find another supreme fortune. This was a secret passed down from generation to generation by the masters of the Thunderbolt Hall. He couldn't reveal this secret just yet, worried about potential delays on the way back to Leiming. So he gave Fengchen some information to reassure him, then left with peace of mind.

Fengchen knew full well that after his training in Yaochi, he would have to return to Cangyun to replenish Baiyu's bloodline. Although his current skills weren't strong enough to fully awaken Baiyu, he felt that even a small infusion of blood could restore her bloodline slightly, allowing her to live more vigorously. This would allow him to breathe a sigh of relief and seek other solutions, or continue his cultivation, without being troubled by the obstacle in his heart.

So, facing Lei Gong's request, although he couldn't easily agree, he didn't want to hide it either: "Uncle Lei, to be honest, after this trip to Yaochi, I plan to return to the South China Sea. Xiaoyu's vitality is too weak, I have to replenish her, so that I can feel more at ease."

Lei Gong immediately understood Feng Chen's intentions and suggested that he fix the formation before heading to the South China Sea, but he had to take care of some things first. He waved his hand, urging Feng Chen to calm down, "Don't worry. With your grandfather here, Xiao Yu will be fine for now. Uncle Lei is taking you with him, though. The opportunity you're looking for might be related to this matter. Perhaps later, you can awaken her. Even if that doesn't work, at least you can resolve the crisis and drive out that old man Mo Yuan."

Lei Gong's words startled Feng Chen, and he immediately changed his mind. If he'd just wanted to infuse some blood into Bai Yu's veins to temporarily revitalize him, then Lei Gong's words might have meant Bai Yu could wake up immediately. Feng Chen knew Lei Gong well; he wouldn't say anything he wasn't sure of, and he was always conservative. If he said there was hope, it almost certainly meant Bai Yu could be saved.

As for the previous three years, Lei Gong hadn't participated. Feng Chen understood this was because of his imperfect body, lacking the necessary skills to support him, and lacking any means or hope to meet the requirements. Furthermore, he had hidden dangers within him, and no one could guarantee a miracle would happen, so Lei Gong chose to remain silent and not participate.

But the situation was different now. Fengchen's meridians had been restored, and he was now on the path of profound cultivation. While cultivation was a matter of utmost importance, saving Baiyu was simply lacking a few necessary conditions. As long as these conditions could be met, there was still hope of waking Baiyu.

After figuring this out, Fengchen hurriedly asked, "Since Uncle Lei is so confident, I will naturally follow his instructions. But I'm anxious, so can you reveal a little bit first?"

In response, Lei Gong waved his hand: "Don't worry, there are plots going on outside right now, and Uncle Lei can't guarantee the Yaochi Fairyland. When we return, Uncle Lei will explain it to you in detail."

"Okay, then let's wait until Uncle Lei comes back." Feng Chen knew that he shouldn't ask too much. Although he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, he still suppressed his curiosity considering possible accidents.

"Okay then, Uncle Lei will be leaving now." Lei Gong turned around and left after saying this. He has never been a person who drags his feet. Since it has been decided, he will naturally leave first.

Feng Chen said nothing more, watching Lei Gong leave. He turned around, took out the token given to him by Fairy Ji Yao, and immersed a bit of his soul into it. In the blink of an eye, the scenery before him changed, and he returned to the Yaochi Fairyland. Fairy Ji Yao was looking at him with satisfaction. Obviously, she probably knew what Lei Gong said, but she didn't say much, waiting for Feng Chen to continue his creation.

Looking at Fengchen again, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. He looked at Fairy Ji Yao, then at Master Gu Yuan, and then said, "Senior, Aunt Ji Yao, shall we continue now?"

"Okay, just go ahead and do it. I and Yao'er will fully cooperate." Master Gu Yuan spoke first and nodded in response.

Fairy Ji Yao also responded immediately: "That's right, Chen'er, just go ahead and do it."

"Okay, I'll start preparing now." Feng Chen said and moved his hands. He is now a Xuan cultivator, very different from when his meridians were cut off. The magical powers he learned since childhood can finally be used now.

His hands moved unpredictably, and dozens of hand seals were swirling. Master Gu Yuan and Fairy Ji Yao watched from the side. Feng Chen's hand seals appeared simple, but in reality, they contained a myriad of variations. Even they couldn't immediately discern his precise movements. Furthermore, the opening and closing of these hand seals evoked a profound sense of simplicity. Needless to say, this state of mind must have been taught by his father, Feng Wanlin, in his early years.

Although he was unable to practice cultivation due to his severed meridians when he was a child, Feng Wanlin always prepared for any eventuality. Therefore, before he completed the Sutra Building and Life Extension Project, he had already passed on all his life's learning to Feng Chen, hoping that he could directly enter the Xuanmen in the future and begin his own Xuan cultivation journey without having to start from scratch and waste precious time.

Let's get this straight. This seal is called Xuanfeng, and it's guided by Feng Wanlin's primordial spirit, drawing on the power of heaven and earth. This seal has seventeen variations, and their combined uses and effects vary greatly. The one Feng Chen is currently using involves filling his entire body with primordial spirit power, concentrating it at a single point, with the goal of creating an external incarnation. This incarnation is the product of primordial spirit power, a stand-in for his true spirit.

Although Fengchen's cultivation wasn't profound, logically, he shouldn't have been exposed to the secrets of the True Spirit so early, but he was born with an innate spirit, so some things were inherently understandable to him. For those with an innate spirit, the True Spirit was innate, no need to specifically pursue it. The abilities of Fengchen's avatars even surpassed those of Xuanmen cultivators, so allocating a trace of his primordial spirit's power was a piece of cake for him.

Feng Chen did this because he remembered that his father had sacrificed his life to help him refine the True Yang Diagram. Although the Nine Nether Emperor was present at the time, forcing him to use the Spiritual Source Fire, if Feng Wanlin were present, without the Nine Nether Emperor's interference, Feng Chen wouldn't have to use the Spiritual Source Fire. However, Feng Chen's strength was not yet sufficient. If he wanted to repeat his father's method, he would have to burn his True Spirit. So, to save his life, he could only draw out a trace of his True Spirit and burn it as a substitute. Because the substitute and the original body were of the same origin, the effect would naturally be the same.

Upon seeing this scene, Master Gu Yuan nodded involuntarily, and he admired the young man Feng Wanlin even more. When Feng Wanlin appeared, the entire Xuanmen sect was shocked, and even Master Gu Yuan felt inferior to him. However, Master Gu Yuan had never truly witnessed Feng Wanlin's abilities, and he always had doubts in his heart. Until a few years ago, when Bai Ximo and Fairy Ji Yao had a quarrel, Feng Wanlin broke into Yaochi alone. Although Master Gu Yuan did not personally fight, the entire Yaochi was unable to stop him. Master Gu Yuan was confident that even if she had the support of thirteen Saints and the Taiyin Formation, she could take away Bai Ximo, Ji Yao, and Fairy Ji Long, but she believed that she could not escape unscathed without damaging Yaochi. Feng Wanlin's cultivation was obviously stronger than everyone else's combined, otherwise it would not have been so easy.

Because of this, Master Gu Yuan knew Feng Wanlin had shown mercy. So, after she emerged from retreat, she listened to Aunt Xuan's account of these events. Although shocked by Feng Wanlin's cultivation, she didn't confront him. After all, he had shown mercy. Even a single sect couldn't stop him. As a fellow righteous Xuan Sect member, how could a Great Emperor have the nerve to argue with a junior? So, she headed to Five Emperors City and angrily attacked Bai Qianyi in the Imperial Temple. She already had a friendship with Bai Qianyi, so she had no concerns about this matter.

The topic had strayed, and back to Fengchen. He was using seals, his spirit energy continuously condensing, and a faint shadow began to appear before him. This shadow's shape and appearance were very similar to Fengchen's. Although it seemed a little floating, in Master Gu Yuan's eyes, it was undoubtedly Fengchen's spirit. But she couldn't help but wonder, how could Fengchen's innate spirit, his spirit body, be so ethereal?

"Is this your primordial spirit, young man?" Master Gu Yuan couldn't help but ask. She saw that this primordial spirit was ethereal and completely different from Feng Chen's previous performance. If such a primordial spirit was present, even if it was an innate spirit, it would definitely not appear so mysterious.

Feng Chen immediately explained, "Senior, you've misunderstood. This isn't my Primordial Spirit, it's my Primordial Spirit incarnation. Refining the Taiyin Mirror isn't easy. I can't fully grasp its secrets, so I can only imitate my father's method. I burned it with Spiritual Source Fire and decomposed it into divine weapon power for absorption."

After Feng Chen finished speaking, he continued to use the seal technique. His True Spirit separation process hadn't yet been completed. His current incarnation was too weak. At this level, even decomposing the Taiyin Mirror, let alone refining it, was no easy task. Previously, when decomposing the divine weapon, the True Yang Diagram had benefited from Bai Yu's bloodline, and the power of the Cloud Phoenix had made the effort twice as effective. But now, Feng Chen couldn't easily use Bai Yu's power and could only focus more on the Spirit Source Fire.

Speaking of which, he harbored a secret, one he couldn't quite articulate. He remembered the great incident at Thunder Mountain. Besides the assistance of the two mighty powers, Cloud Phoenix and Feng Wanlin, within Xiuque Sea, the Golden Crow Emperor also lent a hand. The Sun's True Fire and the Golden Crow Emperor's power share a common origin, so Fengchen had considerable support back then. But now the situation had changed, and Fengchen had to fight on his own. He wasn't particularly concerned about his lack of cultivation, as he was confident that Master Gu Yuan and Fairy Ji Yao would surely intervene at a crucial moment, so he didn't take it too seriously. As for the Sun's True Fire, Fengchen planned to use a drop of the Golden Crow Emperor's blood essence to shore up the situation. He felt that this amount of blood was not a big deal. However, without the Golden Crow Emperor himself, there would inevitably be minor missteps. Therefore, Fengchen was diligently gathering his own strength, hoping to use the Spiritual Source Fire to complete everything and ensure a successful conclusion to the operation.

"Spiritual Fire..." Fairy Ji Yao murmured softly, her voice so soft that it seemed as if only she could hear it.
