Chapter 298 A Love Tribulation That's Hard to Overcome (Part Twenty-One)
After many years, the Spirit Realm has finally returned to the ground, and for a moment it was dazzled by the sunlight.
But before she could even express her feelings, a bolt of lightning struck straight at her.
Cangwu reacted quickly and tried to block it for her, but the heavenly lightning directly shattered his magic weapon. Just as Jiang Gu was about to use his immortal power, Wei Feng released a burst of chaotic energy first, which moved the heavenly lightning a few inches, giving Ling Jing just the right time to dodge.
"Thank you both for saving us." Lingjing bowed to Jiang Gu and Wei Feng.
"It's alright." Jiang Gu turned to look at Wei Feng.
Wei Feng looked away, feeling a little guilty.
His master had explicitly forbidden him from using the chaotic energy, but if Jiang Gu used his immortal power to block the lightning, it would inevitably displease the Heavenly Dao. He had just been appointed to his post, so it wouldn't be good for him to be so conspicuous. But it was different for him; he had been struck by tribulation lightning every day before, so being struck one more time wouldn't matter much.
Anyway, Heaven has disliked him for a long time.
Because Cangwu and Lingjing were present, Jiang Gu didn't say much, but just gave him a warning look.
Wei Feng quietly squeezed his fingers.
The Mi Hua Realm is at the edge of the Nine Provinces, while the Qing Huai Divine Continent is located in the center of the Nine Provinces. It is still millions of miles away from the farthest Hua Yu Demon Continent. Even using immortal techniques would take many days, not to mention how many immortals and demons would have to deal with along the way. Whether they wanted to seize the Chaos Core or were targeting Jiang Gu, they were not easy opponents.
On their journey out of Qinghuai Shenzhou alone, they had already encountered no fewer than three groups of people. And these were only those who could be accurately located by their stealth techniques. There were countless others who were able to stand in front of them without being killed from a distance, and who were spying from the shadows.
Having followed Jiang Gu for so long and connected with him through their consciousness, Wei Feng could somewhat guess Jiang Gu's intentions. When Jiang Gu mentioned the Mi Hua Realm in front of Shi Ye and Tiao Xu, he probably didn't intend to keep it a secret; it seemed more like he wanted to spread the news. And when Cang Wu summoned him, he didn't delve into the reason. Either he already knew who told Cang Wu, or it was all part of Jiang Gu's plan, and this person was useful to them...
Perhaps Jiang Gu's purpose was not to find the Formless Wood. After all, if it would take a lot of time and effort to separate him from the Chaos Core, then Jiang Gu would not have allowed him to fuse with the Chaos Core in the first place.
Perhaps this is just a way to lure someone out.
Having figured all this out, Jiang Gu's unhurried pace became clear. Moreover, since his master had said from the beginning that he wanted to take him out to relax, Wei Feng felt at ease "relaxing."
On this day, they arrived at Taijin Divine Continent, a place abundant with mountains and springs, rich in gold, minerals, and immortal spirits, and extremely prosperous and wealthy. Scattered immortals and earth immortals, as well as demons and monsters born from the upper realm, lived together there. Originally, it belonged to the territory of Chen Hao, the immortal father of Changning. After Chen Hao's death, this place became a no-man's-land. Yao Shuo once wanted to take back this continent, but due to the complex forces in the upper heaven, he failed several times. Now, this place has become a well-known free land among the nine continents.
Lingjing is currently in a weak state, so Cangwu took her to find the local medicine immortal, while Jiang Gu and Wei Feng settled down in a nearby city.
Looking at the large mansion in front of him, Wei Feng felt as if he had returned to a city in the lower realm. He looked at Jiang Gu with surprise and asked, "Master, are we going to stay here?"
“Hmm.” Jiang Gu led him through the door. “I bought this place when I was young. I originally wanted to bring you here, but you didn’t want to, so it was left untouched.”
This must be the other half of his memories that he hasn't recovered yet. Wei Feng said, "Of course I don't want to. I want to stay by your side forever."
Jiang Gu smiled, pushed open the door, and went inside.
Even when Wei Feng was just a little impure creature, he loved all kinds of flowers. Later, when he went to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation, he also loved gorgeous and elaborate things. The decoration here was extremely luxurious, with bright and colorful colors. Wei Feng liked it as soon as he entered, and his eyes lit up.
“Master, this place is beautiful.” Wei Feng said succinctly as he ran over to look at the Seven Killings Tree in the center of the courtyard. “This tree is at least tens of thousands of years old.”
Although it couldn't compare to the one on the edge of the Demon Forest, it was still enough for him to sleep in his original form to his heart's content—even though he was no longer keen on turning into a lump of filth, it didn't stop him from feeling happy.
"Hmm." Jiang Gu walked behind him and watched as he climbed the tree in a few moments, sat down at the table under the tree, and raised his hand to form a complex magic circle.
"Master!" Wei Feng suddenly appeared in front of him while hanging upside down under the tree, smiling brightly at him. Jiang Gu looked up, but his view was blocked by a huge Seven Killings Flower. "This one is for you."
Jiang Gu took it and said calmly, "Why was so much chaotic energy from the Spirit Realm divided?"
“Since you’ve brought her out, she must have a purpose. Even if I don’t give her the Chaos Qi, you’ll still have to expend your immortal power to help her withstand the lightning tribulation.” Wei Feng crossed his arms and swung back and forth on the tree branch. “Besides, I also want to test how much the Heavenly Dao can tolerate the Chaos Qi.”
Jiang Gu raised his eyes and looked at him.
Wei Feng smiled and said, "Master, what do you want to do with that half of my immortal bone? Can you tell me?"
Jiang Gu raised his hand to push away his forehead: "No."
"Why?" Wei Feng was greatly puzzled. "Is there anything we can't talk about now? I even know you—"
Jiang Gu used magic to seal his mouth and said without changing his expression, "Shut up."
Since merging his memories and heart, Wei Feng has become much less easily fooled. He can perceive even the most subtle emotions in Jiang Gu. Aside from the initial discomfort, Jiang Gu has now adapted well. However, Wei Feng's emotions are too intense and rich, and when they are transmitted to him, he always feels that he is just as happy as Wei Feng, causing his emotions to fluctuate a bit too much.
A ghostly pattern appeared in Wei Feng's eye and wrapped around his hand.
"..." Jiang Gu was silent for a moment, "Don't do this outside in the future."
Those old fogies would probably be so frightened that they would use every trick in the book to capture him.
"Oh." Wei Feng withdrew the ghost pattern, turned into a small lump of mud and fell down, which Jiang Gu caught steadily in his palm.
“Master, I want to sleep among the flowers tonight,” Wei Feng said.
"Why?" Jiang Gu frowned slightly.
He preferred that Wei Feng cultivate in the same room as him.
"Let's see if the flowers here are comfortable to live in." Wei Feng rubbed his fingers.
Jiang Gu didn't know what he wanted to do, but looking at the soft lump in his palm, he finally agreed.
It was midnight.
A small filthy creature crawled out of the flower and transformed into a young man in red.
Wei Feng glanced at the celestial phenomena, then flipped his wrist, revealing a ghostly mark on his palm, identical to the one that had appeared in his eyes during the day. The other half of the mark silently remained on Jiang Gu's body.
He closed his eyes and saw Jiang Gu meditating in the room. Cultivation after becoming an immortal is different from that in the mortal world. Even when he is asleep or dreaming, he is still cultivating. Wei Feng observed carefully for a while and decided to enter Jiang Gu's dream to explore. Although he had a lot of fun along the way, he always felt uneasy.
This is Wei Feng's first time entering Jiang Gu's dream.
The dreamscape was vast and expansive, encompassing the magnificent Upper Heaven, the boundless Nine Provinces, the bustling Three Realms, and the treacherous Demon Forest, stretching as far as the eye could see.
There is no concept of time in dreams; everything moves according to the dreamer, who usually stays in the place where they feel most comfortable and safe.
To avoid being discovered by Jiang Gu, Wei Feng did not use any of his aura. Instead, he let his body move with the wind, only occasionally adjusting his direction. Following his guess, he went to the Yaoyan Immortal Palace on the sixteenth heaven. However, there were only neatly arranged official documents in the palace, and Jiang Gu was nowhere to be seen.
So he went to the Ninth Heaven again, but still couldn't find Jiang Gu.
Wei Feng was not giving up and searched many more places, but he still could not find Jiang Gu. In the end, he even went to the Demon Forest and under the Seven Killing Flower Tree, but he still could not find Jiang Gu.
He slowly frowned, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him. He looked up at the vast sky, passed through the flowing clouds and thick fog, and finally found Jiang Gu, dressed in white, meditating at the end of the sixteenth heaven.
Sensing his presence, Jiang Gu slowly opened his eyes. The golden primordial spirit behind him had already risen, raising its hand to gather the ferocious black primordial spirit behind Wei Feng into its palm. Wei Feng's primordial spirit was already quite large, but it was extremely small in front of that golden primordial spirit, not even the size of a palm. The golden primordial spirit carefully examined the black mass before putting it into its front pocket as if it were a matter of course, and even bent down to give it a reassuring squeeze.
"Wei Feng." Jiang Gu was somewhat surprised that he would dream of Wei Feng, since he had never dreamed of any living creatures since birth in the Upper Realm.
"Master," Wei Feng said brazenly, taking advantage of the fact that this was a dream, as he walked over and asked, "Where did you hide my half of the immortal bone?"
Dreams are guided by the owner's heart, but what is revealed in dreams are the most sincere and straightforward thoughts in the heart, and there are no lies involved.
Jiang Gu reached out and pinched his cheek, then patted his head, and said, "It's hidden in my sea of consciousness."
"Why won't you give it to me?" Jiang Gu rarely showed such obvious affection for him in real life, and Wei Feng rubbed his cheek against Jiang Gu's palm.
"I still have a use for it, I can't give it to you." Jiang Gu cupped his face and kissed his forehead. "Let me see the tail."
Wei Feng was stunned for a moment, then conjured up a silver-blue shark tail.
Jiang Gu touched his beautiful scales and said, "And ears and wings."
Wei Feng conjured up white beast ears and kite wings.
Jiang Gu glanced at it indifferently: "Ghost Mark."
The ghostly markings behind Wei Feng spread out in a massive, overwhelming manner, covering half of his face and even creeping into his white pupils. He felt inexplicably embarrassed and pursed his lips, saying, "Master, don't you think it's ugly?"
"It looks good." Jiang Guyan said succinctly, "I like it."
Wei almost couldn't suppress his smirk and pounced on the person, knocking him into the clouds. It took him a lot of effort to control his desires. He held the person in his arms and asked, "Master, what are you going to do with my immortal bones?"
Jiang Gu sat on his mermaid tail, his brows slightly furrowed.
“Master, tell me.” Wei Feng’s ghostly markings affectionately wrapped around his ankle. “I will turn into a little mudfish.”
Jiang Gu stared at him expressionlessly.
Wei Feng's heart skipped a beat. Just when he thought he had been discovered, Jiang Gu suddenly spoke up: "I want to use it as a key."
"What key?" Wei Feng asked, puzzled.
"Why were you so talkative in my dream?" Jiang Gu asked, puzzled.
Wei Feng lowered his head and covered his mouth, cleverly concealing his guilty conscience.
Jiang Gu was much more honest in the dream. Wei Feng pulled him into his arms and kissed him passionately. Jiang Gu's breathing was a little unsteady, and he frowned and said, "It's really absurd to be like this in a dream."
"Master, don't you like it?" Wei Feng loosened his belt.
Jiang Gu frowned even more: "I like it."
Wei Feng couldn't help but laugh: "Master, you're much more honest in your dreams."
Jiang Gu grabbed the ghostly patterns on his back, the veins on the back of his hand bulging, and he pressed his forehead against Jiang Gu's shoulder with impatience.
"Master, why do we need a key?" Wei Feng asked in a different way.
Jiang Gu suppressed his voice and said, "Because... I made a wrong decision... and now I need to make amends."
"What decision?" Wei Feng asked.
Jiang Gu's breathing suddenly stopped, and Wei Feng knew something was wrong. Before he could escape, he was tightly bound to the spot by a huge force.
"What kind of wicked creature dares to trespass into my dream?" Jiang Gu's divine form slowly opened his eyes.
At the vast horizon, a pair of enormous, brilliant golden eyes reflected the entangled figures of Wei Feng and Jiang Gu through the clouds. They fell silent for a moment, then vanished into the boundless dream.
In reality, Jiang Gu suddenly opened his eyes, his expression shifting in a complex way for a moment before he finally spoke in a cold voice:
"Wei Linming, get out here."
