Mysterious mirror hanging high

Following a series of earth-shattering explosions, the dragon's massive body crashed into the sea.

Jing Yu looked up and saw Yuwen Baoge picking up the broken dragon ball with his golden spear. Most of his golden armor was shattered, but he laughed uncontrollably: "Great! Although it is a ferocious beast with low intelligence, it is also a real Nascent Soul Perfection Dragon!"

After the excitement wore off, he looked at Jing Yu with a puzzled look. "Strange... Xuan Jing, aren't you a water-based cultivator? How come your earth-based magic is so powerful? It's even comparable to some late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators who have mastered the [Law of Earth]."

"Also, why did I feel that this old dragon just now... although his realm was the Perfect Nascent Soul, the combat power he displayed didn't have the oppressive feeling of a Perfect Nascent Soul. Instead, it was only at the lower to middle level of the late Nascent Soul. Could it be that he was not in good condition?"

Jing Yu landed on the sea and said with a smile, "It's all thanks to you, sir, who is so well-armored and invincible... Xuan Jing was just helping out."

Yuwen Baoge was quite pleased with himself when he heard this: "When it comes to fighting, I'm really not afraid of anyone."

"Let's see what kind of treasure this old dragon is guarding..."

Yuwen Baoge was the first to dive into the seabed and swam towards the black water dragon's lair. After a while, he broke out of the sea with a look of deep joy in his eyes:

"Xuan Jing, it's become prosperous..."

Yuwen Baoge stretched out his hand, and two round beads as black as ink lay quietly in his palm.

"[Black Water Stabilizing Bead]...has the miraculous effect of amplifying the power of water-based magic."

"This bead is a naturally formed treasure that combines both offensive and defensive capabilities. It can spray black water to attack enemies and protect the body... Its value is no less than that of a pseudo-spiritual weapon."

“There are actually two.”

Jing Yu was surprised and said, "Your Excellency is indeed very knowledgeable. Xuan Jing doesn't recognize this thing."

"It's normal that you don't recognize it. I learned about this thing by looking through the ancient books of my clan. It seems that it was only recorded in the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty."

Yuwen Baoge frowned. "Come to think of it, we've found quite a few rare treasures along the way, and it seems many of them are only found in the records of the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty... Is [Weiyang Heaven] a secret cave realm from the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty?"

Unfortunately, Yuwen Baoge could only think of this level. He shook his head and threw a [Black Water Dingyuan Pearl] to Jing Yu:

"Xuan Jing, please keep this precious pearl. You can't use it now, but it will be of great use to you when you advance to the late Nascent Soul stage."

"Oh?" Jing Yu's expression changed: "What do you mean, sir?"

Yuwen Baoge obviously wanted to show off his knowledge, and snorted:

"This orb was formed by the natural forces of heaven and earth, and contains the mysteries of the Law of Water. If your divine consciousness reaches the late Nascent Soul stage and matures, you can use this orb to accelerate your comprehension of the Law of Water and enter the realm of enlightenment sooner."

Jing Yu looked at the Black Water Dingyuan Pearl in his hand, and indeed felt that spots of light representing the Law of Water were gathering around him. After just a few glances, he felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he had some new insights into the [Law of Water].

"With this orb, my entry into the Law of Water will be greatly accelerated," Yuwen Baoge said happily. "I estimate it will only take three to four years."

Jing Yu raised his eyebrows: "Sir, are you so confident? You are not a water cultivator..."

"Xuan Jing doesn't know this." Yuwen Baoge laughed heartily. "I have already comprehended the [Law of Gold]. The Five Elements are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. Gold gives birth to water. After comprehending the Law of Gold, comprehending the Law of Water will be twice as effective with half the effort."

“There’s also this saying…”

"That's natural," Yuwen Baoge said. "The Five Elements are also known as the Five Virtues. These five physical properties can transform into each other, creating and restraining each other... It's extremely mysterious."

"Everything is often difficult at the beginning. Once you master one of the principles, it's only a matter of time before you master the remaining four principles, and your understanding will accelerate."

"This isn't just true in the late Nascent Soul stage. Even in the Spiritual Transformation stage, this effect persists... If a Spiritual Transformation cultivator doesn't have the power of [Immortal Spiritual Energy] to accelerate his comprehension of the laws, then his fastest progress will definitely be through the [Five Elements Law]."

"Have you not seen that [Dongxuan Tianjun], without the nourishment of immortal spiritual energy, was sealed off by the [Penglai Holy Land] for a thousand years with a great formation, yet he ultimately managed to forcibly reduce his realm to the late stage of the Divine Transformation Realm? I suspect he was the one who pushed the [Law of Earth] to the late stage of the Divine Transformation Realm."

"I don't know why the [Five Elements Law] is so accessible, with such a low barrier to entry, yet its power is as powerful as most other laws..."

Yuwen Baoge sighed, "If there were no Five Elements, there would be countless fewer Divine Transformation cultivators in the world!"

Jing Yu had some guesses about this. He estimated that there must be a Taoist master in the upper realm who specialized in the five virtues and completely changed the underlying logic of the [Five Elements Law] to benefit the lower practitioners. Otherwise, the [Five Elements] would not be as easy to practice and powerful as it is now.

Just when Jing Yu was about to ask Yuwen Baoge for further advice on the immortal cultivation knowledge related to the Five Virtues, the two of them suddenly changed their expressions.

Yuwen Baoge's face darkened: "Xuan Jing, did you hear that?"

"heard it!"

Jing Yu's expression was solemn. "Just now, a fellow Daoist used a secret method to spread the word, saying that in [Weiyang Heaven], there is a pseudo-God-transforming cultivator suspected to be from the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty who is hunting down living Yuanying True Lords... We should be careful to avoid him and it's best to travel in a group or find a place to hide first."

Yuwen Baoge looked skeptical. "Could it be that some Yuanying True Lord is deliberately tricking us into hiding and giving up the treasure hunt in order to keep the trial treasures in the cave for himself?"

"It shouldn't be that serious..." Jing Yu shook his head: "I'm afraid it's true."

In fact, Jing Yu had discovered before that many cultivators whose fates were connected with his in [Weiyangtian] had already met with accidents.

If the [causal line] between a cultivator and Jing Yu's navel is broken, there are two possibilities: one is that the cultivator took the initiative to cut off the causal connection with Jing Yu using a secret method of extremely high status, just like Yu Wen Yundan practiced the [Unstained by Dust Sutra] to cut off the worldly ties.

Another possibility is that the monk has died.

Only ten days had passed since Jing Yu escaped from the trap, and thirteen of the cause and effect lines in the cave had broken one after another. This meant that in the past ten days, thirteen Yuanying Zhenjuns Jing Yu knew had died in [Weiyang Heaven]!

Even though there are probably hundreds of Nascent Soul cultivators who have entered Weiyang Heaven at this moment, the death rate and speed are a bit exaggerated.

"No matter what, we still have to be cautious." Jing Yu said solemnly, "We should reunite with other Taoist friends who are familiar with us as soon as possible."

Jing Yu's idea was to take Yuwen Baoge directly to find Lu Yingzhao. With this "I am the only one" little Lu Jianxian by his side, let alone a pseudo-divine cultivator, even if he faced a real divine monarch, he would have a chance to escape unscathed.

But according to the causal line, Jing Yu found that he was extremely far away from Lu Yingzhao, and he could not escape to the void here. It would obviously take more than a short time to reunite with Lu Yingzhao.

So he simply fiddled with the causal line and found an old acquaintance who was closest to him—
