Mysterious mirror hanging high

From then on, Jing Yu stayed in this trial hall for a long time, and fought with Sima Xunshui's incarnation almost every day. The spiritual energy in the hall was indeed special. His physical body became more and more tough under the nourishment of the spiritual energy, and his magic power was also much more condensed than before.

What is even more astonishing is Jing Yu's progress in understanding the [Law of Water]. With the guidance of Sima Xunshui, the incarnation of a high-level cultivator with a very high vision, and the use of the [Black Water Dingyuan Pearl] to feel and comprehend in his spare time, his understanding of the law has advanced by leaps and bounds.

In the blink of an eye, it was a year later.

Inside the side hall, inspiration surged and water vapor surged like a dragon.

Jing Yu and Sima Xunshui stood facing each other, both of them surrounded by water-colored light, and mist was rising in the hall.

Sima Xunshui's white beard fluttered, and there seemed to be a vast ocean flowing in his eyes. With a wave of his sleeves, the water spirit in the hall suddenly condensed and turned into thousands of crystal water lines, covering Jing Yu like a net.

"Water has no fixed shape. Its softness can turn it into silk, and its hardness can break mountains." Sima Xunshui said calmly, "Youngster, be careful."

Jing Yu did not dare to delay. He clasped his hands together and the magic power in his body surged. A thick water curtain appeared around him. However, as soon as the water line touched the protective aura, it penetrated easily like a sharp blade cutting paper and went straight to Jing Yu's vital points!

Jing Yu's heart trembled, and he dared not hold back any longer. With a flick of his finger, a drop of flawless and round [One Yuan Heavy Water] emerged.

The next moment, the heavy water, which originally had an astonishing density, expanded and swelled against the wind, turning into a thick water shield that barely blocked the oncoming water line.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!" The water line hit the heavy water shield, making a sound of metal clashing, which made Jing Yu's arm numb.

Sima Xunshui nodded slightly. "One-element heavy water? Not bad. You can actually change the shape of this heavy water. This shows that you have already understood the principle of water's ever-changing shape. You have already mastered the [Law of Water]."

Before he finished speaking, he clenched his five fingers, and the water lines in the sky suddenly stagnated, and then turned into countless fine water needles, pouring down like a rainstorm!

Jing Yu's mind moved, and the one-yuan heavy water in his hand suddenly changed shape, turning into a circular flywheel with a sharp edge, spinning and slashing out horizontally!

"Swish--" the disc flywheel passed by, and the water needles in the sky were split into two. Jing Yu gave up all his defensive means at this moment, and mobilized all his true energy to urge the heavy water disc to cut towards Sima Xunshui.

"It's not that easy!"

Sima Xun condensed water into a water-colored long sword and slashed towards the heavy water disc.

But at the moment when the two magical powers touched each other, the heavy water disc suddenly collapsed and turned into countless fine water droplets. Each drop contained tremendous power, and shot towards Sima Xunshui like a rainstorm!

"Water has no fixed form, yet it possesses both hardness and softness... You have mastered the principles of water, and possess such a formidable water power. Few cultivators below the Divine Transformation stage would be able to defeat you."

Sima Xunshui laughed loudly, but his figure suddenly became ethereal, allowing the water droplets to penetrate his spirit body.

The next moment, his figure regrouped on the other side of the hall and he said calmly, "You have already touched the threshold of the law. Not bad."

Jing Yu was still gasping for breath when he saw Sima Xunshui raise his hand and wave it, and all the moisture in the hall disappeared.

"You have passed the test in this side hall... I have only recorded my understanding of the Law of Water in this incarnation. Now that you have mastered the Law of Water, I have nothing more to teach you. You may continue your trials in other side halls."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior!" Jing Yu bowed solemnly.

Sima Xunshui nodded slightly, and sat cross-legged on the cushion deep in the side hall again, with his back to Jing Yu. Only a faint sound echoed in the hall.

"The great way of water is infinite and boundless. Even I, this old man, have only scratched the surface of this way. I hope you...will not let this way down."

Jing Yu was about to choose another side hall when she suddenly received a communication talisman from Yun Xuance:

"Xuanjing, return to the main hall quickly!"

----

When Jing Yu returned to the main hall, he found that many Yuanying Zhenjun had gathered in the main hall. These Yuanying cultivators were all facing a powerful enemy. Some had even set up the formation and stood at the center of the formation.

"Master!" Guan Lingxiao and Xiao Yinghan stood side by side. When he saw Jing Yu, he hurriedly came forward to greet him.

Jing Yu asked in confusion: "What happened?"

"The caves outside Weiyang Palace collapsed completely, leaving only a few hundred miles around the lake. Those Yuanying Zhenjuns who had been hiding in the hidden places of the caves could no longer hide and had to cross the lake one after another."

Guan Lingxiao said solemnly, "The last group of Nascent Soul True Lords still outside Weiyang Palace have already crossed the lake. They saw with their own eyes the Divine Cauldron Transformation God far behind them... In another moment, I'm afraid the Divine Cauldron Transformation God will arrive at Weiyang Palace."

"Can't we attack him while he's trapped in his inner demons?" Jing Yu asked.

Guan Lingxiao shook his head. "I'm afraid not. According to the observations of the fellow Daoists on guard outside, that person doesn't seem to be troubled by the inner demon... Perhaps the [Inner Demon Lake] only targets Nascent Soul cultivators like us."

At this moment, Lu Yingzhao had walked out of a side hall, wearing a heavy purple thunder armor. The three-colored origin flower between his eyebrows was much brighter than a year ago. It was obvious that he had recovered a lot of vitality in this year.

Her Xuan Lei magic sword and Zi Lei heavy halberd had both been destroyed by self-explosion, but Lu Yingzhao did not hold any other weapons. She just spread out a pair of flesh palms, occasionally clenching her fists casually, causing her knuckles to crackle.

At the same time, a group of immortal candidates surrounded Lu Yingzhao like stars surrounding the moon. Many other Yuanying Zhenjuns had also heard of the reputation of the little Lu Jianxian. Although they did not know how powerful she was now, they generally agreed that she should be the strongest among the Yuanying cultivators here. Therefore, they all surrounded her and followed Lu Yingzhao's lead.

"Most of you fellow Daoists are from the Divine Transformation Sect, and some even come from the Ascension Sect. I'm afraid there's no need for me to explain the huge disparity between the Nascent Soul and the Divine Transformation."

Lu Yingzhao slowly said, "A pseudo-God is still a God. To be honest, even I, Lu, who is known for my Yuanying invincibility, would not be able to defeat that Divine Cauldron God."

"Don't underestimate our overwhelming numerical advantage. The difference in realm cannot be made up by numbers."

"This battle is definitely the most dangerous one that any of you fellow Taoists present here have ever experienced... I hope you will be mentally prepared."

Lu Yingzhao's words were quite pertinent, and many Yuanying Zhenjun present showed despair on their faces.

Yuwen Baoge, however, brandished the golden spear in his hand and shouted, "When the Little Sword Immortal Lu was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, he had a brilliant record of single-handedly fighting against three Great True Lords. In terms of magical powers and combat power, he is the best among all cultivators... I will follow the Little Sword Immortal Lu and charge into battle without even a frown!"

Lu Yingzhao smiled slightly and nodded at Yuwen Baoge, "Thank you for your support, fellow Daoist... In this battle against the Divine Cauldron Transformation God, I will certainly rush to the front and give it my all. If any of you Daoists are less powerful, you can focus on protecting yourselves... But if we are lucky enough to win this time..."

Many Nascent Soul cultivators looked at each other in bewilderment, and soon understood Lu Yingzhao's hidden meaning: "We must owe little Sword Immortal Lu a huge favor!"
