Chapter 108
03 and Zhu Shiyu's last stop in Nanyang Continent was Qiushui Pavilion. Because one of the two Pavilion Masters had recently achieved a breakthrough, the other naturally had to stay behind to provide support. The elders who went to Taiyan Sect were unable to make the decision and only took the green jade beads back to Nanyang Continent.
After careful consideration, Zhu Shiyu asked 03 to go with her to Qiushui Pavilion and explain the matter of the demonic cultivation in detail. 03 naturally would not refuse, and she also had an important identity: she was Qiu Shuangshuang's master.
So when Qiu Shuangshuang's parents were waiting for the envoy from Wendao Academy at the dock, they saw a woman with silver hair and green clothes jumping off the boat, holding a basket in her hand.
"Hello!" 03 said warmly, handing the basket to them. "This is a gift I brought. Please feel free to accept it. Think of it as a gift for your child."
The two heads of the Qiushui Pavilion were stunned for a moment, then smiled and took it. Qiu Shuangshuang's father said, "Hahaha, I learned from Yutong's letter that my daughter had chosen Daoyou as her master. Shuangshuang was very impressed by Daoyou's swordsmanship. I didn't expect that we would be so destined to meet and have her wish come true!"
03 said, "Don't worry, I've adapted the sword techniques into spear techniques. After practicing, there are no problems. I'll pass the spear techniques on to her when I get back and tell her to study hard."
Qiu Shuangshuang's parents had never met Xi Lingren in person, but they had witnessed her sword intent with their own eyes. At that time, they only felt that the universe was vast and her determination was unstoppable. The Qiu Shui Pavilion inherited the spear technique, and Qiu Shuangshuang was extremely talented. She was the next successor to Shuilongyin.
Originally, the two Pavilion Masters felt a little regretful when Qiu Shuangshuang became his disciple. However, they did not expect that Xi Lingren could actually change the sword technique into a spear technique. They were surprised and happy, without any regrets at all. They happily invited the two into the Pavilion for a detailed discussion.
The two pavilion masters followed the two guests, one in front and one behind.
"We have heard about the matter of the demon cultivators. My wife was about to break through and couldn't go to Zhongzhou in person to discuss the matter. But everyone in my Qiu Shui Pavilion hates evil and will fight the demon cultivators to the death. If you can be of any use to me, just send me there." Qiu Shuangshuang's father bowed to Zhu Shiyu.
Zhu Shiyu hurriedly said, "We are helping each other and not letting the demon cultivators take advantage of us."
Behind the two of them, 03 walked side by side with Qiu Shuangshuang's mother. When asked about Qiu Shuangshuang's time at Wendao Academy, 03 answered seriously. Qiu Shuangshuang's mother felt relieved and looked up at the sky, as if she could see the black tortoise soaring in the clouds.
03 He glanced at Qiu Shuangshuang's mother, pointed at the basket, and said seriously: "Eat this while it's hot."
Qiu Shuangshuang's mother was stunned for a moment, then lifted the silk cloth on the basket to take a look. The sweet rice cake was still steaming, white, tender and soft, and looked delicious. Qiu Shuangshuang's mother smiled, and suddenly she knew how to get close to her fellow Taoists.
She smiled and said, "Nanyang Island is also known as the Fishing Island. Nanyang fish is the best in the world. Thank you for your hard work on this journey. Today, I would like to invite you and fellow Daoist Zhu to taste our famous Nanyang fish banquet."
03Eyes lit up and thumbs up.
Wen Dao Academy, Wen Dao Secret Realm.
Spiritual energy floated, lingering endlessly. Within the silence, an invisible pressure seemed to stir, gathering momentum, impatient. In the corner, within the small bulge in his clothing, his spirit heart trembled, shrinking back in fear, and hurriedly exhaled more spiritual energy.
The white mist in the space became thicker. The woman sitting in the spirit gathering array slowly opened her eyes, raised her arm, and pinched her fingers. In an instant, the gathered spiritual fluid and surging spiritual energy rushed towards her body fiercely, rushed into her spiritual veins, turned into spiritual power, rushed out, hit the vein wall, and impacted her sea of consciousness.
This was not a comfortable thing. The restless spiritual power rolled uncontrollably, turning the rivers and seas upside down, excitedly clamoring to break out of the ground. The restlessness in the air became more intense, but was tightly suppressed by an invisible hand, waiting for the final opportunity.
The accumulated spiritual fluid gradually dried up, and the surrounding spiritual energy gradually became thinner. Feeling the surrounding spiritual energy decreasing, Ling Xin dreamed back to that terrifying moment. When he was about to release more spiritual energy, a faint voice came from the silence: "No need, it's hard work."
Feng Jue's eyes flickered. She lowered her gaze to the ground. In front of her lay a thick pile of letters, reaching as high as her knees. The date on the top—three days ago? Feng Jue hummed inwardly, raised an eyebrow, and put the letter into her storage ring. With a flick of her finger, she drew her spirit heart from the bulge and placed it in the jade box. She then took out the jewelry inlaid with gemstones and jade and put it around her neck and wrist.
Change into robes and wear a red robe.
She bites a golden hairpin with her pink lips and combs her black hair with her bare hands.
Until everything was cleaned up and the commotion around him could hardly be suppressed, Feng Jue still took out a box of rouge with a calm expression.
——She glanced at the small bead opposite her that was absorbing spiritual energy with a grunt, opened the rouge box, dipped her finger in a little red and pressed it on her lips. The red paste overflowed from her snow-white fingertips and was blended with gentle force.
Her pink lips instantly stained bright red, like jujube fruits after rain, waiting only for someone to pick them. It was a pity that the person she longed for hadn't come in three days... Speaking of which, it seemed like a long time ago that she had last spoken with 03. Feng Jue lowered her eyes, hiding the dimness in them. She leaned over and dotted the remaining color on her fingertips onto the beads, one on each side. With a satisfied smile, she whispered, "Will you come with me this time?"
Zhuzi didn't say anything, but Feng Jue seemed to know her answer. He took out the jade bead from the gold silk bag around his waist and put the silver bead in it.
Feng Jue stood up and said calmly, "Let's go."
Outside the academy, the black turtle opened its mouth and roared silently at the thunderclouds in the sky. It circled and landed, crawling on the ground.
In the sky, heavy clouds almost pressed down on people's heads. The moment Feng Jue walked out of the Wen Dao Secret Realm, a flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky. The lightning, which contained the pressure and shock of the Heavenly Dao, was so thick that it was black, and it was as powerful as thunder, like a ferocious beast roaring at the weak humans on the ground.
Feng Jue raised her head, her dark eyes gazing at the thunder tribulation that was about to strike. Her long black hair was blown by the wind, and her skirt fluttered.
The barrier of Wendao Academy had been lifted when the thunderclouds appeared. Students of Wendao Academy came from all directions, landed on the distant mountains, and looked up.
"Who broke through?"
"Looking at the direction of the thunder tribulation, it's the Wen Dao Secret Realm. This year's assessment hasn't started yet. The only ones who can enter the Wen Dao Secret Realm are Wang Shanfeng and—Ming Yan Academy's Palace Master Feng!"
"Palace Master Feng..."
Everyone's faces showed admiration. One person said, "Mingyan Academy holds monthly assessments, using martial arts to train the mind. Speaking of which, Palace Master Feng has never lost in any of the monthly assessments. She enters the secret realm every time, so she's destined for a breakthrough!"
Others nodded in agreement.
Mingyan Academy is not like other academies in teaching in a gentle manner. In addition to the martial arts competitions, there are also fire formation exercises. Only the first one to break through the fire formation can enter the Wendao Secret Realm to practice.
Among them, the disciples in the martial arts arena are all the chosen ones who came from the two major competitions and were previously taken in by the teacher of Wendao Academy. No one wants to lose, and they are fierce even in the confrontation.
The flame array is even more dangerous, with many changes and endless traps. If you accidentally fail in it, you may be seriously injured by the impact of the flame array. If you leave time to recuperate, you must ensure that the number of victories in subsequent battles is among the top ten in the academy, otherwise you will lose the qualification to enter the flame array, let alone compete for the qualification to enter the secret realm of Wendao. This gap is extremely challenging to your mentality.
After such a high-intensity battle and a life-or-death struggle, the students of Mingyan Academy were filled with fighting spirit. However, they were also bitter. Feng Jue was terrifyingly strong. With her top-grade fire spirit root, she seemed like the darling of the flame formation, or rather, she was the darling of the flame formation! Her skills were domineering, and she loved fighting. She was like a blood-soaked phoenix, and she forcibly defeated these proud students.
The other cultivators were anxious because they could not snatch a place in the Wen Dao Secret Realm from Feng Jue, so they simply took another approach and directly withdrew from Ming Yan Academy and switched to other academies, waiting for the annual assessment competition.
Since this group of new students entered the Wendao Academy, a new consensus has gradually emerged in the academy: the keys to the Wendao secret realms of Mingyan Academy and Wangshan Peak are generally recognized as difficult to steal.
The former has the Phoenix Secret that ensures victory in every battle, while the latter is something that everyone gave up on when choosing the academy because Master Song was a demon cultivator and their Taoism was different. Now, if they want to go to Wangshan Peak to ask for the key to the secret realm of Wendao, Master Song will not accept them.
It already has very suitable disciples.
Even if a teacher asked it to re-select disciples on the grounds that the Fire Rock Dragon was the student's contracted spirit beast, Song Tongzi was like a rock on the mountain, motionless and unchanging.
In this way, one of the ten secret realm keys of Wendao Academy will definitely be in the hands of Huoyan Jiao, and no one can snatch the other one from the owner of Huoyan Jiao. Such strength and luck are enough to make people admire him.
"Palace Master Feng has made a breakthrough! That's great! I won't have to fight her anymore!" The Jindan-stage cultivators who had persisted in Mingyan Academy celebrated together, almost crying. They joyfully yet reservedly bowed to the Yuanying-stage cultivators who had not been sent to the Five Continents. "It's not that we don't want to compete with Palace Master Feng. She is truly an excellent opponent. We really envy our senior brothers and sisters for being able to fight such a good opponent every day in the future!"
Several Nascent Soul cultivators' faces turned pale, and they gritted their teeth and said, "Thank you. I also wish you a speedy breakthrough so that we can all share the blessing."
The Jindan stage monks: "Okay, okay, definitely, definitely! Hahaha!"
“…”
Xue Mengtao looked at the "harmonious and loving" people at Mingyan Academy and smiled. She said to Siyi, "Master, the monks who went to the Five Continents a few days ago have returned to the academy one after another. Sister Shuangshuang has been waiting at the dock for Senior's return."
Siyi stared at the thunderclouds intently, nodded, and felt a little regretful: It's a pity that fellow Taoist Xi is not here now.
dock.
Qiu Shuangshuang stood on the top of the mountain, tiptoeing to look at the thunderclouds covering the sky, breathing in and out, "How terrifying..." She was worthy of being her master's wife, even her thunder tribulation was more powerful than others!
The sky and the earth became completely dark, with only the roar of thunder and rumblings. The sky turned into a ferocious beast, patrolling the earth, wanting to crush the ants who overthrew its rule into dust.
“Boom!”
The thunder from the sky fell like the collapsing sky, shaking the heavens and the earth. Suddenly, a clear clanging sound appeared in the sky and earth surrounded by thunder, and a golden-red fire phoenix leaped into the sky, wrapping up the woman with a determined look on her face.
The long whip whistled, raising thousands of waves of fire to rush towards the thunder tribulation. Feng Jue did not need to hold back, and controlled the phoenix to collide with the thunderclouds.
"boom!!"
A huge buzzing sound shook the sky and the earth, and the thunder roared, then left in embarrassment.
Qiu Shuangshuang squatted on the ground with weak legs, covering her ears, looking at the woman who was controlling fire in the air with fear and amazement.
"Master's wife...you are so awesome! Why hasn't Master come back yet? Look at Master's wife's heroic figure!" She relied on the thunder to rule the earth and praised loudly without any concealment. At this time, the water dragon sound standing behind her suddenly turned into a phantom of a dragon and flew out into the sky.
"Huh?" Qiu Shuangshuang turned around in surprise and saw a large ship flying towards them rapidly. A woman was standing on the deck facing the wind, her clear eyes staring into the distance.
"It's the Phoenix Secret." 03 said.
"Palace Master Feng has made a breakthrough?" Zhu Shiyu said.
"Yes." 03 nodded and said, "Please stop the boat. I'll go first."
"Okay." Zhu Shiyu nodded, watching 03 leap up and step on the head of the flying Shui Longyin. She nodded, stepped on its long body and ran forward. Shui Longyin turned around and flew after her, but unexpectedly got stepped on the head again.
Water Dragon Song:?
"Master!" Qiu Shuangshuang saw 03 and quickly jumped up, waving her arms, "Palace Master Feng is breaking through now!"
I saw it, it’s urgent.
03 He threw a storage mustard to Qiu Shuangshuang and shouted, "This is something your mother asked me to bring you." Qiu Shuangshuang quickly took the purse in her hand, jumped up, grabbed Shui Longyin's claws, and climbed onto Shui Longyin's back.
The Water Dragon Song carried the two of them and rushed towards the forest.
"Which thunderbolt is this?" 03 asked Shui Longyin. Shui Longyin replied, "The eighth one, and it's almost over."
"No, the Phoenix Technique will reach the Great Perfection, the Twelve Heavenly Thunders." 03 said, "She is very powerful."
Shui Longyin: "Oh."
"My holder has also broken through. Shall we fight?"
03 stared at Feng Jue and said, "I fought with them in Qiushui Pavilion. Your holder was in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation, so it was a bit difficult for me to fight him."
Shui Longyin said: "You lose."
"I didn't win." 03 said, "I'll fight you again later and I'll beat you."
"I'll wait." Shui Longyin said with satisfaction, placing 03 on the cliff closest to the thunder tribulation.
03 landed and looked at Feng Jue through the dark thunderclouds.
A thunderstorm had just dissipated. Feng Jue lowered his head to brush off the dust on his sleeves, then raised his eyes as if he had realized something.
The hilltop she stood on had long been flattened by thunderclouds, and amidst the charred blackness, she was the only color. 03 Lowering their eyes, the two of them briefly stared at each other from a great distance.
“Pah.”
The fiery red whip shook and swung to the ground, dropping a few flames. Feng Jue raised the corners of his mouth and looked up at the still dark sky.
bring it on.
Play with you again
A moment.
“Boom!”
Twelve thunderbolts shook the sky. The black tortoise supporting the mountains and seas huddled in its shell, trembling slightly. The mountains, rivers, and lakes on its back also trembled in fear under the pressure of the thunderclouds.
The cultivators outside the thunder tribulation were trembling in their hearts, looking at the lightning pillars that were more terrifying than the last.
"I've heard for a long time that Palace Master Feng reaches the Great Perfection every time he breaks through. Today, I finally have the opportunity to witness the power of the Great Perfection thunder tribulation. It's really a pity that such a talented person is envied by heaven. It's so terrifying!" A cultivator murmured, and his companions beside him nodded in agreement.
There were two people standing on another mountain. Shi Yingyue sighed and said to her companion, "I have to consider other gyms too." Previously, she was one level higher than Feng Jue. Although she did not fight with her in the martial arts field, the Flame Formation was always suppressed by her. Now that Feng Jue has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, and it is a Great Perfection Nascent Soul, it will be extremely difficult to snatch the key to the Wen Dao Secret Realm from her.
"Okay." The Red Lotus Sect's Saint Son advised, "If you hesitate when you should make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. Don't be stubborn. Giving up is not a terrible thing."
Shi Yingyue nodded, turned and left.
Twelve thunder strikes lasted for a whole day and night. When the last thunder dissipated, golden sunlight pierced through the clouds and sprinkled on the blood-soaked woman.
The small human figure was sleeping soundly with eyes closed in the sea of consciousness. Feng Jue curled up the corners of his mouth, glanced at the mountain in the distance, and sat cross-legged.
The Heavens sent down spiritual dew to congratulate the cultivators who had successfully broken through. The land around Feng Jue, scorched by the thunder, sprouted luxuriant flowers and beautiful grass, protecting her. Only after Feng Jue had absorbed all the spiritual dew and stabilized her spiritual power did she open her eyes. A hint of arrogance flashed in her eyes as she proudly stood up and looked over.
Under the blue sky, above the mountains, her red robe had long been shattered by thunder, with gold and jade scattered. The entire pattern of a phoenix with outstretched wings was burned half golden and half charred black. The snow-white lingerie inside was stained with the smoke of thunder and fire, which diffused between her still upright spine.
"Congratulations, Palace Master, on your advancement to the Nascent Soul stage!" Siyi shouted excitedly. She had witnessed Feng Jue's efforts since entering the Wendao Academy, so how could she not be happy for him? She only wondered, who else in the world could compare to Feng Jue's breakthrough speed?
Siyi was ecstatic. She glanced at the woman in green on the top of another mountain, paused, and her smile deepened.
Well, that doesn't count.
Congratulations echoed from all over the forest. Feng Jue smiled and raised her hand to bow to the people from the Wen Dao Academy. With a light tap of her toes, she flew from the lush flowers to the top of a hill where only one person stood, without even glancing at 03.
She gathered her long hair to her chest, straightened her clothes, and said in a calm and gentle voice, "You're back."
It was Feng Jue's voice.
03
Her heart was beating like a drum. She stared at Feng Jue, wanting to make flowers appear. Unfortunately, Feng Jue didn't allow her to make emoticons in front of outsiders. 03 regretfully waved out a stream of spiritual power, making the spiritual power phantom form flowers and surround Feng Jue.
Feng Jue sneered, looked at the silver-white flower pattern close at hand, and asked softly, "How do you feel about entering the world this time?"
Feel?
03 Looking at Feng Jue's face, there were red marks on the corners of her mouth, not sure if they were blood or residual rouge. 03 really wanted to reach out and wipe them off for her.
Although they would return to the data ball every night to check on Feng Jue, they really hadn't spoken in a long time. 03 looked at Feng Jue's lively eyes and eyebrows, his expression changed, and he smiled and said, "I met a lot of people."
Feng Jue nodded, paused, and tilted his head to look at 03, "Yeah."
“I’ve spoken to a lot of people.”
“See the many sights of this world.”
03 said slowly, "The sky is high and the sun is far away, the clouds are clear and bright; the stars and the moon are bright, and the river is shining in the sky; the stars move and the constellations change on earth, and the beauty is prosperous. Whether in this world or other worlds, I have seen a lot and I like to see it. The people I see are also like this. Humans are always wrapped in sorrow and joy, happiness and anger. It is the same as what I know, but also a little different."
Feng Jue raised his eyebrows and was about to ask what was different when he saw her suddenly take out a bouquet of flowers from her storage ring. It was a large bouquet, colorful and riotous with color, as if she had picked all the flowers in the world, wrapped them in brocade silk, tied the branches tightly with ribbons, and tied a very 03 bow.
03 handed the bouquet to Feng Jue and said with a smile: "But these are not important matters."
Feng Jue was surrounded by flowers. He raised his hand, held one of the pale pink flowers, lowered his head and sniffed it. When he heard 03's words, he made a puzzled sound without looking up.
"Speaking."
03Looking at Feng Jue who was so close, he smiled: "The important thing is, I miss you very much."
