"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.
...
Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
He sat cross-legged in the river, surrounded by blue light that danced like flames, as if he were recovering his magic power and injuries.
"All your efforts have been in vain," Guanyin said. "Tang Sanzang has been rescued; your entire plan has failed."
[Interesting.] Li Changzhou chuckled, a hint of contemplation in his voice. [Is it the King of Inspiration? Or that old turtle?]
[It wasn't inspiration, it must have been that old turtle.]
Regardless of who it is, the next thing to consider is how to get Tang Sanzang back into our possession.
Before that, Li Changzhou recalled his battle with Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing for a while, and a sinister yet majestic ghostly aura emanated from him.
Holy Master - Asura Path
And then there was divine might.
[Divine Body - Low-Level Omniscience]
In no time, he had learned all of Zhu Bajie's and Sha Wujing's moves. Not only that, but if the two of them didn't adapt next time, he could take them down in two or three moves.
At this point, Sun Wukong persuaded him repeatedly and finally helped Zhu Bajie up.
Pigsy and Sandy entered the Tongtian River again.
It's not time to capture the two yet. Li Changzhou continues to act as if they're evenly matched, focusing most of his attention on devising a plan and a small portion on the 'white rabbit' in his pocket.
The 'White Rabbit' can sense danger. Although it's not as versatile as Little Carrot's ability to avoid death and prolong life, it's enough to defend against sneak attacks—it's afraid that while fighting, a bunch of gods in the sky will throw weapons at it and ambush it.
Pigsy and Sandy tried their best, but his attention was not on them at all.
Having fought Li Changzhou once, I haven't improved at all, especially in martial arts. It's almost impossible for me to beat him again... Well, magic is also difficult.
The battle ended in a draw, and Li Changzhou sustained another new injury.
It perfectly demonstrates that he only knows how to swim, but even in the water, he's not very strong.
This gave Sun Wukong a headache. If he were stronger, he would have gone directly to the Heavenly Palace to find someone, but he was so weak that it would be shameful for him to still go looking for someone.
He had no choice but to continue coaxing Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, trying to find a way to lure Li Changzhou out.
"Not bad." The Queen Mother's expression showed increasing appreciation for Yang Qinglan.
Yang Qinglan not only achieved the status of a terrestrial immortal in the second trial, gaining a lifespan as long as the earth, but she was also the first fairy to complete the second trial, faster than terrestrial immortals such as the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.
This is both a talent and Yang Qinglan's experience in dealing with unfamiliar powers, far surpassing that of Jiutian Xuannv and others who are immersed in the magic system.
Yang Qinglan emerged from the Landscape Painting, closed his eyes, and sat upright on a lotus leaf in the Jade Pool, appearing like a celestial being who had transcended the world.
There was a shower of celestial flowers, and celestial music and mantras being chanted. This was the aura of a perfect earthly immortal, representing that 'Hengsha' was the seed of a world.
There are different kinds of Ganges sand. Even among the same first-class immortals, the Ganges sand they manifest can vary in quality.
At its lowest level, Hengsha can only evolve into a mountain, a lake, or a few mountains and a few lakes.
The medium-sized ones are like a grotto-heaven, with mountains and water, and can even evolve into several mortal kingdoms.
A perfect immortal is a planet.
It's not a real planet, but its area, ecological cycle, and species are equivalent to a life-bearing planet, which could be like a honeypot world with just a giant tree or a large lake.
Accumulating magical power is not about solidifying it into radiance and storing it like gold in countless worlds; it's about evolving the world.
The more prosperous the world of Hengsha is, the more abundant its essence and energy are, and this essence and energy is the magical power accumulated by the earth immortals.
The essence that cannot be solidified in the form of life cannot be stored because it will naturally dissipate without proper circulation.
Therefore, the cultivation of earth immortals involves both accumulating magical power and managing a small world. The better they manage it, the deeper their magical power accumulates.
Furthermore, unlike the initial entry into the fourth level of the visualization method which allows one to become a human immortal, and the second-grade human immortal who also has the opportunity to become an earth immortal, to become a celestial immortal, one must be a fully-fledged earth immortal.
Only a perfect world can give birth to the will of Heaven. When an earth immortal is in harmony with the will of Heaven, he becomes a celestial immortal.
Of course, compared to when she was a human immortal, Yang Qinglan has not gained any new abilities except for the ability to continue to increase her magical power, including the ability to hide in the Hengsha World.
The world is too small; I'm just a grain of sand. How could I possibly hide inside it?
When Yang Qinglan opened her eyes, the green-clad fairy was about to present her with a six-thousand-year-old peach when the Queen Mother said:
"I will also present you with a six-thousand-year-old peach, a pot of fine wine, a pot of jade liquor, a pot of top-grade immortal wine, a robe, and a table of delicacies."
A peach that has stood for six thousand years, with a lifespan of one thousand years:
A pot of fine wine is roughly equivalent to three pieces of Qi Hui (a type of celestial elixir).
One pot of jade liquor is roughly equivalent to four pieces of Qi Hui (a type of elixir).
A pot of top-quality celestial wine is roughly equivalent to five pieces of Qi Hui;
A magical robe, woven by the fairies under the Weaver Girl's command, with radiance, rainbows, aurora and other celestial patterns. It can ward off worldly vulgarity, is beautiful and beautiful, and is free from dust. In addition, it can also be used as radiance to absorb, which is roughly equivalent to eight pieces of radiance.
A table of a hundred delicacies, prepared with various ingredients and cooked with Qi Hui, is roughly equivalent to twenty Qi Hui.
A total lifespan of one thousand years, forty pieces of Qi Hui.
The four kinds of nectar, jade liquid, top-grade immortal wine, and eight delicacies do not need to be refined. They can be consumed directly to increase magical power, which is many times faster than absorbing qi.
It takes Li Changzhou an entire night to absorb a piece of Qi Hui, while he can absorb Qiongjiang, Yuye, and other similar substances in the time it takes to enjoy a meal.
The cultivation of Earth Immortals is relatively simple at the beginning. They do not need to create life, but only expand the foundation. Therefore, eating these things will not be wasted, and they can be solidified immediately within the world of countless sands.
After a quick calculation, Yang Qinglan knew that as long as he ate these things, he could expand Hengsha to be three meters long, three meters wide, and three meters high, which would serve as a place to live.
