Chapter 198: Time Sounds, Spring Stream, and Falling Branches
There is clearly something in this pool, but when I reach in, I can't feel anything. It seems that Yun Zhongjun must have hidden this pool of water somewhere else.
Lingxiang looked at the Water Spirit Pearl in her hand and pondered for a long time. As if she had made up her mind, she gathered her spiritual power into the Water Spirit Pearl.
Forget it, there's no other way now, so let's just try our best! Since Yun Zhongjun has hidden the pool of water, then we can just fill it up again!
Driven by Lingxiang's spiritual power, the Water Spirit Pearl suddenly emitted a bright blue light, flashing continuously. After a while, water poured down like a waterfall and flowed into the deep pool.
As Lingxiang had expected, the water pouring out of the Water Spirit Pearl actually remained in the pool. It was then that she discovered that the deep pool was not completely empty. At the bottom of the pool, where the pure spiritual water gathered, there was a stone base, and this stone base was slowly floating up as the pure spiritual water poured in.
After half of the pool was filled with water, one could clearly see what was inside the stone base - it turned out to be a flower bed.
It was obvious then, he must be planting the Penglai Jade Branch inside. However, he couldn't perform the Cloud Steps now, so how could he reach the stone seat? Would he have to swim across?
Lingxiang forgot to glance behind her. In the dust, Long Qi and Liu Xia were in a stalemate with Bai Wuchang. Liu Xia had already used his hidden means and it seemed that he had tried his best. Banxia took advantage of the moment when Bai Wuchang was too busy to rescue Madam Lu.
But Mrs. Lu is really a troublesome thing!
Lingxiang stared at Madam Lu for a long while. Suddenly, Madam Lu raised her eyes and looked at Lingxiang. The two stared at each other for a moment. Lingxiang turned her head and muttered to herself, "It seems that she has a lot of resentment towards me in her eyes. I think Madam Lu is blaming my mother for the destruction of the Lu family."
Wait, even so, how does she know who she is?
Lingxiang looked back at Madam Lu suspiciously, but Madam Lu never looked back until she was rescued.
Forget it, the most urgent thing is to escape first. We can deal with other things after we enter Yunmengze!
The pool was already full. Lingxiang reached in again and could already feel the water. She scooped up a handful of water and found it was filled with spiritual energy. The stone seat in the center of the pool also floated up, but it was still quite far away from her.
Lingxiang looked back again and saw Bai Wuchang's sharp claws crushing Zhao Wuyang's sword. Just as the claws were about to grab Zhao Wuyang, fortunately Xinyi appeared in time to save him.
Forget it, the situation is urgent now and I can’t care about anything else.
Lingxiang used her spiritual power to leap up and performed the Cloud-Stepping Step. The moment she left the ground, she felt a sharp pain in her foot. When she landed on the stone seat in the pool, she felt as if her ankle was broken.
But Lingxiang had no time to think; she had already heard Bai Wuchang's roar. Enduring the excruciating pain, Lingxiang crawled to the center of the stone pedestal. Only then did she see that within the flowerbed enclosed by the stone pedestal, there lay the same roots of the dead Penglai tree she had seen during her time in the Kunwu Sect. The pedestal contained neither soil nor gravel; it looked like ice. But reaching in, it felt like a pile of rice in a grain store.
"Oh no! It's the devil!"
Hearing Xinyi's loud shout, Lingxiang no longer cared about anything else and plunged the Penglai branch directly into the flower bed, shouting loudly without looking back: "Come here quickly!"
Even though I've had bad luck, I've always won every time I gambled since I was a kid. I don't know if this will actually work, but I have no choice but to give it a try!
Hearing Lingxiang's loud shout, everyone looked over immediately. Shuijian was shocked by the scene before him. Even Bai Wuchang, who was about to show his devilish form, was stunned at that moment.
Amidst the stone pedestal, a tree was rapidly growing, its trunk as white as jade, shimmering and emerald green. Soon, the tree began to sprout, its leaves emerging as glazed as glass. Once the branches were covered in leaves, flower buds began to form on the twigs, clustered in clusters, like colorful lanterns.
When the last flower bloomed, the surrounding water suddenly became bright. The pool was no longer pitch black, but instead was filled with sky.
It was almost night, but the sky above the lake was a deep blue, with wisps of clouds floating in the air, and flocks of strange-looking birds flying through the clouds.
This is...
Yunmeng Wonderland!
Long Qi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses, feeling something was wrong. He looked towards the stone seat in the lake and saw Lingxiang lying on the stone seat under the Penglai Jade Tree.
Although the scene was picturesque, Lingxiang's brows were furrowed, and Long Qi knew she must have used her Qinggong technique again. Heartbroken and self-blaming, Long Qi didn't care about anything else and quickly shouted as he leaped towards Lingxiang.
But at this moment, Lingxiang flicked her finger, and a sailor suddenly jumped out of the pool, grabbed Long Qi tightly, and then dragged him into the water.
"Don't worry about me! Get into the water quickly! Otherwise it will be too late!" Lingxiang shouted.
The pond has begun to freeze over!
Xinyi and Liu Xia were the first to react. Xinyi pulled Zhao Wuyang and Liu Xia to Banxia, grabbed her and Madam Lu, and were about to jump into the water.
"Want to run? Not that easy!"
Just as everyone jumped, Bai Wuchang jumped up, and in a flash, a yellow talisman flew over and hit him directly in the face.
It’s Lingxiang’s magic-breaking talisman!
Lingxiang flung out the Demon-Breaking Talisman and rolled off the stone seat into the pool. The moment Lingxiang fell into the water, the pure spiritual water in the pool instantly froze, and under the radiance of the Penglai Jade Tree, the entire pool formed a magic circle.
But at this time, Bai Wuchang calmly took off the talisman on his face, and his body shape changed back to human form. Behind him, a person slowly walked out of the darkness. It was none other than Hui Wu.
"The envoy can clearly capture them easily, so why does he have to put on this show?" Hui Wu asked in confusion.
Bai Wuchang opened his folding fan and fanned it with pleasure. "Why? Do I need to tell you how to do this?"
Upon hearing this, Hui Wu immediately knelt down, saying that he dared not do it. Seeing him like this, Bai Wu Chang ignored him and just fanned himself.
Fairy Tumi cultivated the Resurrection Pill in Yunmeng Fairyland. One of the pills is still missing, so it must have been left there. Although I let these young men go, if they manage to return alive, then...
Bai Wuchang exerted force on his hands, and with a crackling sound, Lingxiang's magic-breaking talisman instantly turned into paper ashes, floating and falling to the ground. Just then, a gust of wind blew, and the ashes rose up with the wind, flying away like black butterflies.
Elder Fu Cang, I want to see how long you can survive in Yunmengze with your mere foundation-building cultivation!
A sneer played on Bai Wuchang's lips. He cast a cold glance at the aura-filled Penglai Jade Tree, then turned and disappeared into the darkness. Seeing this, Hui Wu also glanced at the water mirror, then stood up and disappeared with Bai Wuchang.
Just as the two disappeared, Ah Jin emerged from the darkness and effortlessly stepped into the Penglai Jade Branch's magic circle. He glanced back at the spot where the two had vanished, and then, like the old mountain god, he transformed into a beam of light and darted into the icy pool.
