Fengyunlu

Fortunately, the three's actions went unnoticed, confirming Fengchen's gamble. "Next, Senior and Auntie, don't use your divine senses. There are experts within the Yaochi, and the spirits are difficult to deal with. With the innate spirit Xuanmiao holding us back, let's see what happens before we figure out a solution." Fengchen's plan seemed to be working; the mysterious young lady hadn't noticed any of their movements, reassuring him that his bet was a good one. He whispered to Master Gu Yuan and Fairy Ji Yao that there might be other experts within the Yaochi, and that they should proceed with caution, refrain from using their divine senses for now, and wait for the right moment to make their plans.

Fengchen didn't reveal the entire plan after all. He only told the two that there was danger, but didn't say how to deal with it. Master Gu Yuan didn't think much about it, nor did she care. The expert Fengchen mentioned, she had been in Yaochi the entire time. She had heard that there was someone, but she didn't notice anything at all. Now she hadn't found anything either. It seemed that Fengchen's words were not alarmist. Even she felt that such a being was difficult to deal with, not to mention that Fengchen was just a junior. Fengchen didn't reveal the entire plan, but only told them about the current danger, but didn't specify how to deal with it. Although Master Gu Yuan was a little dissatisfied with this, she also realized that what Fengchen said was true. There might really be a difficult being in Yaochi. She herself hadn't noticed any signs, which made her believe Fengchen's words a little more.

The same situation applies to Fairy Ji Yao. As the Immortal Master of Yao Chi, she holds absolute control over all of West Kunlun. Although she has now stripped the Taiyin Mirror of its essence, the Yao Chi Fairyland remains within the sect and remains a powerful weapon. Despite its many mysteries, it's nothing to her, the master. Yet, she was completely unaware of any abnormalities within Yao Chi, even until Fengchen alerted her. Whether such a figure is friend or foe could spell two different outcomes for her, and even for the Yao Chi lineage. From what Fengchen has said, the situation is unclear, and it's hard to determine their stance. The only certainty is that Fengchen is testing the waters, and once he reaches a conclusion, he'll make a decisive decision. As the master of Yao Chi, Fairy Ji Yao holds absolute control over West Kunlun. Even with the Taiyin Mirror's essence stripped away, the Yao Chi Fairyland remains a powerful weapon in her wield. However, she remained completely unaware of the abnormalities within Yao Chi, and only after Fengchen's warning did she realize the possibility of an unknown master. Such a presence, friend or foe, could have a significant impact on the Yao Chi lineage. The situation is still unclear at the moment, Fengchen is cautiously testing the waters. Once he has a clear judgment, he will take action immediately.

The three of them gathered together, looking at each other, no one rushing to make a decision. Fengchen waved his hand, making a "hush" gesture, and then used his spiritual power to inform the other two about the mysterious woman's current situation and how they should respond. Then, Master Gu Yuan and Fairy Ji Yao put aside their distracting thoughts and listened attentively to Fengchen's instructions, trying their best to control their breathing to avoid disrupting Fengchen's spiritual power. After all, Fengchen's cultivation level was not high, and his spiritual power was limited.

"I have a story I want to tell you all. This story is actually some of my guesses about your identities. However, before that, I have to talk about my own inferences." Feng Chen continued. He kept talking, on the one hand to delay time and prepare something, and on the other hand to observe carefully. After all, the mysterious woman was not necessarily the enemy.

Feng Chen did not give the woman a chance to interrupt and spoke directly: "I did think you were a weapon spirit at first, but I was a little skeptical, so I asked you directly. Your answer proved my guess. Although the idea that my father could become a weapon spirit is a bit outrageous, if it is really a weapon spirit, it should not care too much about it. At most, it would be a little surprised. After all, that is what weapon spirits are like. But your reaction seems to be quite interested, which means that you are not really here, or you are not a weapon spirit at all. The origin of the Taiyin Mirror has been fused, and you are probably trapped here because you were framed. With your identity, the person who can calculate you must be extraordinary. Even if you don't know their character, at least he Their level of cultivation is definitely beyond my comprehension. Since it's impossible to estimate, it means their methods are very special. I suspect that this special method used to plot against you has only one purpose, which is to force you to become an artifact spirit. This explains the method that trapped you before, and that method seemed quite spiritual. I further speculate that the method that seemed to be a bit of a liberation, or some kind of magic, is actually the spirituality of the Taiyin Mirror itself, similar to the True Yang Diagram in my body. When it was refined, it was only the spirituality that was mentioned. The Cangxuan Order was originally a whole. Even if it was separated, if there was an artifact spirit, it would either abandon the original body or split into two. It is impossible for one side to have a spirit and the other to have only spirituality."

"There's another thing, and it's the key to my speculation. When you appeared, you said, 'Not just you, but even those two girls and the other two little guys saw through it.' It seemed casual, but it actually had profound meaning. Of those two little guys, one is a Qilin, and the other, I suspect, is the source power of the Taiyin Sutra. Its original form fled, but the source power remains. Even ancient divine weapons, and even some Nine Heavens divine weapons, possess spirits. A divine weapon as powerful as the Taiyin Sutra couldn't possibly be without a spirit. So, based on your words, that little guy must be the Taiyin Sutra's spirit. But there's a deeper meaning to your words. The weapon spirit is hiding here, and this sect has been searching for it, but it refuses to show up. Clearly, it has its own agenda. You saw through it immediately. No matter what you think, this has definitely disrupted its plans. Thus, they've become enemies. Without a special reason, who would believe that two divine weapons could do this? This also proves that you're not a weapon spirit. "I guessed wrong, or maybe I've offended you somewhere, so please don't blame me." Feng Chen said, calculating in his mind. He finally managed to stabilize the situation and successfully aroused the other party's interest.

The mysterious woman nodded. Although her expression was unclear, she continued, clearly agreeing with Feng Chen's words: "Well, there's always a 70% to 80% chance. Since you're willing to guess, then tell me, what is my true identity?"

The mysterious woman's eyes lit up, and she seemed quite interested in Fengchen's analysis! This made him happy, and he felt that there was still hope. As long as she was willing to continue listening, time could be delayed, and he would have the opportunity to prepare more fully. As for the woman's attitude, Fengchen was still unsure. She didn't look like she was here to make friends, but she didn't show any hostility either. This meant that she was still hesitating and hadn't decided whether to cooperate with Fengchen. The key was how Fengchen would play next. His words might influence the mysterious woman's decision. Whether they would become enemies or reach an agreement because of a common goal depended entirely on the cards Fengchen had in his hand and whether Master Gu Yuan and Fairy Ji Yao could help.

"I'm going to start showing off now." Feng Chen continued to tell his story, and at the same time used his spiritual thoughts to communicate with Master Gu Yuan and Fairy Ji Yao, telling them about the situation of the mysterious woman so that the three of them could come up with a decision together.

As for the preparations, Master Gu Yuan was already busy. Fengchen, using her mind to cultivate the power of the Taiyin, transformed himself into Master Gu Yuan, offering to assist Fengchen. Then, Master Gu Yuan took charge, slowly gathering the power around Fengchen. Fairy Ji Yao, on the other hand, watched quietly. As the Immortal Master of Yaochi, she needed no special preparations; a single thought could mobilize the power of all of Western Kunlun. She waited for Fengchen's decision, partly because the situation remained unclear, and the position of the mysterious woman was unclear, potentially impacting Fengchen's fate. Furthermore, the matter of the Qilin and the Taiyin Sutra clung to the sect's legacy. Any rash action would not only risk defeating the mysterious woman but also jeopardizing these crucial matters. Therefore, Fairy Ji Yao decided to wait and see what Fengchen decided to do next. Otherwise, given her personality, no matter how enigmatic the mysterious woman might be, she would certainly not let go of any threat.

Without further ado, Fengchen continued, "Although I was born with an innate spirit, I couldn't practice any martial arts because of my blocked meridians. This meant that I could only listen and watch as a child. My father also taught me everything he knew, and he also invited many teachers and friends to teach me, as long as it wasn't too profound a secret or a secret that couldn't be passed on to others. Of course, this knowledge includes many legends. I heard that there was a legend that happened in ancient times. Although I thought it was far-fetched at first, now that I see you, I feel that the legend seems to have some connection with your identity."

"He came here to save the Human Emperor..."

Bai Ximo stared at the illusion with wide eyes, muttering something involuntarily. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the illusion collapsed with a rumbling sound, as if shattered by some mysterious force, and the lake water was surging with it. At this moment, an almost invisible light, like a green snake, emerged from the water, made a whooshing sound, and then disappeared without a trace.

"What on earth is going on?" Bai Ximo was extremely puzzled. The light just disappeared without a trace, not even a ripple, as if it had never appeared in the first place. He was a master at the peak of the Saint Rank, his soul power covering the entire ancient cave, yet he didn't notice how the light slipped away. Bai Ximo was so surprised that he became even more interested in this mysterious ancient cave.

At the same time, he was incredibly curious about the green snake-like light, eager to know where it had gone. After pondering for a while, Bai Ximo concluded that the light might have followed the same path as the Tongtian Scroll. Although he didn't know where it would end up, he felt it was definitely connected to the Yaochi Fairyland, and most likely to Fairy Ji Yao.

At this thought, Bai Ximo couldn't help but recall his past. He had a close relationship with Fairy Ji Yao. They had once practiced together in seclusion, jointly comprehending the techniques of their respective families. During that time, Fairy Ji Yao made rapid progress, and Bai Ximo also gained a lot. More importantly, they had also developed a set of mental methods together. This mental method didn't rely on any external factors, but existed only in their hearts. As long as they had a sense of connection, they could resonate with each other and know each other's location and every move.

However, if one of them is unwilling, the induction can only stay at the approximate location and cannot penetrate into the other's heart. In other words, if one party calls and the other party does not respond, then they can only sense the approximate location and cannot achieve a spiritual reflection. Therefore, for so many years, Bai Ximo could only feel that Fairy Ji Yao was in West Kunlun, but he knew nothing about her daily life. Fairy Ji Yao never responded to Bai Ximo's calls. Every time he tried to contact her, she seemed to have not heard him, as if their fate had ended. It was fate that Fairy Ji Yao no longer wanted to have anything to do with him.

But today was different. Bai Ximo was trapped in this place, and the illusion suddenly collapsed. He had hoped to find a way out by comprehending the illusion, but the illusion was gone, and he was at a loss. He waited and waited, but the lake water was still. He was worried about his daughter's safety, and the only thing he could think of was to try to contact Fairy Ji Yao here, hoping she would respond, or at least come up with a solution, and then call others to rescue him.

Bai Ximo was anxious for another reason. He hadn't discussed how long he'd been trapped in the ancient cave, or how much he'd gained in enlightenment. But he had a strong suspicion: the key to saving his daughter—the Soul-Falling Platform—might be hidden within this cave, most likely beneath the lake. Bai Ximo's inability to sense it might have something to do with the mystery of this place. He was confident that, with his level of cultivation, if he couldn't figure it out here, then there might be no one stronger than him in the entire Xuan Sect.

If that were the case, the most likely scenario was that this mysterious ancient cave was waiting for someone destined to unlock it. And this destined person was likely between Fengchen and Baiyu, because Bai Ximo had come to the foot of Luoshen Peak more than once, but each time he returned empty-handed, never encountering such a mysterious situation. Bai Ximo asked himself, this wasn't accidental, and this trip to Luoshen Peak happened after Fengchen's journey north through the desert. He believed this wasn't a coincidence, and the most likely scenario was that this mysterious ancient cave was related to Fengchen, or at least that Fengchen's visit was the only way to gain some understanding.

However, Bai Ximo wanted to try to call Fairy Ji Yao, not to put all his hopes on Feng Chen, but to understand some of the situation. Because he had received a spiritual message before, he knew that Feng Chen's evil spirit had been released, and wanted to take him back to Leiming Mountain to refine his body and exorcise the evil spirit. As for what happened later, Bai Ximo didn't know because he was trapped, so he was always worried. Fairy Ji Yao was the only person in the outside world he could contact at the moment. In the absence of spiritual messages, Bai Ximo could only pin his hopes on Fairy Ji Yao, hoping to understand Feng Chen's situation so that he could make the most reasonable judgment.
