Chapter 46 Yanghua Cloud Sea (Thirty-Three)
The fusion of primordial spirits is called spiritual communion, a method used by Daoist couples for dual cultivation. Generally speaking, the stronger the primordial spirit, the stronger its sensitivity to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Therefore, for two cultivators of similar strength, it is twice as effective to cultivate after the fusion of primordial spirits. However, few people use this method, as exposing one's primordial spirit to another's sea of consciousness is an extremely dangerous thing.
After all, primordial spirits vary in strength. Compared to dual cultivation, devouring the other's primordial spirit to strengthen oneself is a common practice among cultivators.
Entering another person's consciousness with one's primordial spirit is extremely dangerous, but Wei Feng's primordial spirit bears his mark, and he has absolute control over Wei Feng. Logically speaking, the fusion of consciousness is absolutely impossible. Even if it is just a brief contact and separation, it cannot be considered a spiritual communion. But this is undoubtedly a provocation to Jiang Gu.
As a result, Wei Feng suffered the consequences.
For more than ten days in a row, Wei Feng didn't dare to close his eyes. His primordial spirit would suddenly leave his body and be thrown into some unknown space, where he would be chased and beaten by all kinds of primordial spirits, suffering unspeakable pain.
"My primordial spirit is only this tiny bit big!" Wei Feng lay sprawled on a chair in the corridor, his fan spinning rapidly. He gestured angrily at Xuan Zhiyan, "My master's primordial spirit is so—big! He could crush me with a single finger. I just crawled on him a couple of times, and as a result, his bunch of messy spirit beast primordial spirits chased and beat me for more than ten days. My primordial spirit is still lame."
Xuan Zhiyan hugged Wu Tuo and laughed until his stomach hurt. "Serves you right for being so foolish. You know you can't just touch a primordial spirit. What if you accidentally have a spiritual encounter?"
"My master isn't an outsider; he was the one who started playing with my primordial spirit." Wei Feng rolled over, stepped on the pillar in front of him, looked up at the rain dripping from the eaves, and said lazily, "Besides, my master's primordial spirit is so strong; my little lousy primordial spirit wouldn't even be enough for him to devour, how could it possibly be divine—"
He suddenly sat up straight, his face instantly displaying a fascinating expression.
As he shamelessly crawled into Jiang Gu's primordial spirit, his hand seemed to almost melt into Jiang Gu's primordial spirit. He felt a moment of pleasure, but before he could react, he was kicked away.
If Jiang Gu hadn't reacted quickly, his primordial spirit might have actually merged with it... and then it would have truly become a spiritual communion.
"What's wrong? What's with that expression?" Xuan Zhiyan waved his hand in front of his face. "Young Master Wei? Ancestor Wei?"
Wei Feng swallowed hard, staring straight at him, and said, "I think I know why Master is angry."
"Huh?" Xuan Zhiyan waited for him to continue, puzzled.
Wei Feng wiped his face with mixed feelings, a mixture of fear and surprise, relief at being stopped in time, lingering fear, and a barely perceptible regret. "Let me think about it."
“…Hiss.” Xuan Zhiyan stroked his chin. “What are you so excited about?”
"Excited? What's exciting! I'm clearly—" Wei Feng looked at his face in the water mirror in front of him and fell silent.
"You're definitely up to no good." Xuan Zhiyan nudged his shoulder. "Calm down, ancestor. Your master just backed you up. Now you have a bad reputation. Can't you see everyone's avoiding you?"
“You don’t understand.” Wei Feng covered his mouth with his hand, trying to look innocent, and said seriously, “I almost caused a disaster, I have to go apologize to my master.”
Fortunately, there was no spiritual communication; he only touched him with his claws. Otherwise, even ten lives wouldn't be enough to appease his master.
Wei Feng felt something was wrong the more he thought about it, and got up to leave, but Xuan Zhiyan grabbed him and pulled him back, saying, "Wait a minute!"
"What?" Wei Feng turned to look at him.
Xuan Zhiyan said, "We're about to set off for the Xiyuan Secret Realm. Elder Jiang is definitely with the other elders. Would it be appropriate for you to go and apologize in front of so many people?"
Wei Feng slapped his forehead, sat back down, and looked at Xuan Zhiyan, "You really aren't going to the Xiyuan Secret Realm?"
“My master asked me to stay and help.” Xuan Zhiyan shook his head. “But Liu Xian will be going, so please keep an eye on him.”
"Don't worry, your junior brother is my junior brother too." Wei Feng raised his hand and patted his chest. "Wait for me to come back."
——
"This time, a total of thirty-six disciples from Touchun Peak went to Xiyuan Secret Realm, including ten Qi Refining stage disciples and twenty-six Foundation Establishment stage disciples. The team leaders are Elder Jiang Gu from Qingping Peak and Elder Ruan Keji from Xieyu Peak, as well as two Golden Core stage senior brothers, Mu Si and Mo Daojin." The young disciple who was speaking stood on tiptoe, "This is my first time going to a secret realm for training."
In front of the flying boat, the disciples gathered together, excitedly waiting for the arrival of the elder who would lead the team.
"Is everyone here?" Mu Si walked over, sword in hand.
"Brother Pastor, we're still missing two people." Mo Daojin counted the number of people again. "Wei Feng and Liu Xian haven't arrived yet."
"It's him again." Mu Si frowned unhappily.
Seeing that he was angry, the other disciples were all afraid to speak. Mo Daojin said, "Let's wait a little longer. Elder Jiang and Elder Ruan haven't said they're leaving yet."
Yu Qianning gripped her sword and went to a corner. Just as she was about to send a communication talisman to Wei Feng, she heard a hurried voice: "We're here! We're here!"
A group of people looked in the direction of the sound and saw Wei Feng pulling Liu Xian down from the flying sword. Wei Feng was also carrying a large box on his back.
"You—" Mu Si was about to speak when a cold voice came from inside the flying boat.
Let's go.
"Master!" Wei Feng perked up at the sound of the voice and pulled Liu Xian onto the flying boat.
Mu Si rolled his eyes, while Mo Daojin gripped his sword and directed the disciples to line up and board the ship.
Once on the flying boat, Wei Feng let go of Liu Xian's arm, carried the large box on his back, and hurriedly found Jiang Gu's room, knocking on the door.
"Enter."
Only then did Wei Feng dare to push the door open and go in.
Jiang Gu was looking at the map of Xiyuan on the table when he caught sight of Wei Feng out of the corner of his eye. "What is it?"
Wei Feng put the large box down and walked nervously to Jiang Gu. "Master, I—"
Knock knock knock.
He had barely opened his mouth when there was a knock on the door, followed by Mo Daojin's voice, "Elder Jiang, Elder Ruan requests your presence at the front."
"We'll talk when I get back." Jiang Gu glanced at Wei Feng, who seemed hesitant to speak, then got up and left.
Wei Feng spent half a day mentally preparing himself, but as soon as he mustered up the courage to speak, he was interrupted. He immediately felt listless and slumped into his chair to look at the map.
It was still difficult to speak up.
"Master, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have touched your spirit."
"I'm sorry, Master, I know I was wrong. I almost had a spiritual connection with you—ahhh, I can't say it so directly!" Wei Feng cried out in despair, pulling at his hair.
“Master, I swear to the Heavenly Dao that I had absolutely no intention of offending you. My primordial spirit only merged with a tiny bit, so it doesn’t count. Please, in your greatness, do not hold a grudge against a petty person—” Wei Feng slammed his head against the table. “What the hell am I saying!”
Regardless of Wei Feng's inner turmoil in his room, Jiang Gu arrived at the front hall and met Ruan Keji.
"Elder Jiang," Ruan Keji said bluntly, with a headache-looking expression, "I just received news that the Spirit Dragon Sect and the Sparrow Kite Sect will also be going to the Xiyuan Secret Realm this time."
Seeing his expression, Jiang Gu said knowingly, "People from the Spirit Dragon Sect have always been domineering."
“It’s not just domineering.” Although Ruan Keji disliked Jiang Gu, he still wanted to stand together against outsiders. He frowned and said, “Our Yanghua Sect and Queyuan Sect have always been at odds. But in the end, Yanghua and Queyuan are both small sects that are not even ranked. They fight each other to a certain extent. But Linglong Sect is the number one sect in Pingze Continent. Some time ago, Queyuan Sect’s young sect leader Qu Fengyu married Linglong Sect’s chief disciple Lu Zhenyi. This time, Queyuan Sect has really become a phoenix on a branch.”
"Do you think they might be retaliating intentionally?" Consultant Jiang asked.
"It's not just possible, it's certain." Ruan Keji narrowed his long, narrow eyes. "Let me put it this way, Qu Fengyu and our Sect Leader Wu are childhood sweethearts. She was originally supposed to marry into Yanghua, but something went wrong along the way, and she ended up going to Linglong Sect. But she still can't forget Sect Leader Wu. If you were Lu Zhenyi, could you tolerate having such a cuckold on your head?"
Jiang Gu stared at him expressionlessly.
"..." Ruan Keji twitched his eye. "Never mind, I didn't ask."
This guy doesn't look like the type to fall in love and get married.
“The Spirit Dragon Sect is probably after us this time.” Ruan Keji said with a headache, “The Xiyuan Secret Realm belongs to the Zhou family. We sent a letter half a year ago. If we turn back now, we will definitely offend the Zhou family. Going there will be suicide. Elder Jiang, what do you think we should do?”
"Go." Jiang Gu said succinctly.
Ruan Keji sighed, "But the Spirit Dragon Sect..."
“The Xiyuan Secret Realm is vast, and we may not be able to encounter it,” Jiang Gu said. “Besides, you went to great lengths to have Shen Yuxin replace me, wasn’t it all for this?”
Jiang Gu is a member of the Jiang family. No matter how powerful Lu Zhenyi is, she should think twice before taking action. The Yang Huazong people are also ruthless in using him.
"Elder Jiang, what you're saying is just a coincidence," Ruan Keji chuckled dryly.
Whether it was a coincidence or a design, Jiang Gu had no intention of turning back. There were plenty of good things in the Xiyuan Secret Realm, and Wei Feng needed to gain practical experience and consolidate his cultivation at this stage.
When he returned to his room, Wei Feng was already asleep, slumped over the table.
During this time, he was training Wei Feng's primordial spirit. Naturally, he didn't close his eyes for a moment. His primordial spirit was already exhausted, and he himself had lost a lot of weight.
"Get up." Jiang Gu wasn't kind enough to let him sleep.
Wei Feng jumped up from his chair with a start, hurriedly wiping his mouth, "Master!"
"What do you want with me?" Jiang Gu sat down.
"Master, I've come to apologize." Wei Feng suddenly knelt down in front of him with a thud, and said loudly, "I offended Master's spirit before, please punish me!"
"..." Jiang Gu's eye twitched.
More than ten days later, that bastard finally grew a brain.
Wei Feng cautiously looked up at him, and said with a wronged expression, "Master, I really didn't mean to. That hand just melted away for no reason. Fortunately, it didn't cause any serious damage. Please calm down and don't hold it against me."
He's quite good at finding a way to save face.
Jiang Gu generously replied, "It's alright."
If Wei Feng believed that, he would be a complete fool. When his primordial spirit was being chased by those spirit beasts, his claws were the most injured, either torn apart or bitten through, which showed how displeased his master was.
“Master, I cannot be ungrateful for your generosity.” Wei Feng patted the box behind him, and the wooden plank opened with a whoosh, revealing dozens of knives of all kinds. He stretched out his left hand and placed it on the table. “Chop off this hand of mine today!”
"Alright." Jiang Gu's fingers twitched slightly, and a short knife appeared in his hand.
Wei Feng's expression froze, his hands trembled slightly, and he forced a laugh, "Master, I'm your own disciple, you really...really chop me up?"
Jiang Gu twirled the short knife in his hand and chopped it directly at Wei Feng's left hand.
Wei Feng instinctively pulled his hand away, and the table beneath him was shattered into pieces by the short knife. Clutching his surviving hand, he looked at Jiang Gu in shock, a cold sweat breaking out on his back.
Jiang Gu stared at him coldly, patted his cheek with the short knife, and said, "Don't make promises you can't keep. Since you know you're wrong, then kneel down."
Wei Feng swallowed hard and obediently knelt down in a pile of broken wood. Blood slowly seeped from his knees, and he didn't dare to grin anymore.
He shouldn't have gambled on his master's soft heart.
Jiang Gu didn't even lift his eyelids, and sat down next to him to continue looking at the map.
Try to outsmart him, you little brat.
