Chapter 159: 121, Tieing Cloud Mist in Biyuan Mountain, Morning travel to the North Sea and dusk in Cangwu (Chapter 6K, seeking monthly tickets)_2
Among the nine kinds of radiant glows, the profound-colored radiant glow is the most difficult to manifest externally and also the most challenging to generate...
However—
At this moment, Xu Xing suddenly sensed a bird’s chirping from within his Magic Power. Following that, his Cloud Mist Magic Power instantly generated the ninth streak of radiant glow. After this profound-colored radiant glow was born, his Magic Power quickly began to turn inward, no longer producing colors, and returned to being colorless.
On his flawless jade-like Immortal Base, a conceptual manifestation in the form of a Purple Magpie Bird appeared.
This Purple Magpie Bird would sometimes fly and other times transform into nine-colored Cloud Mist.
As expected, in this final moment, the Nine Luminaries Immortal Fate [Spring God Ju Mang] lent me a helping hand, allowing me to bond with the First-class Purple Magpie Morning Glow and generate the final profound-colored radiant glow...
However, I also have a sense of incompleteness. Perhaps even without this Nine Luminaries Immortal Fate, relying solely on the solid foundation I’ve built, I could have strenuously generated a streak of profound-colored radiant glow. It’s just that the process wouldn’t have been as effortless as it was with the assistance of the Nine Luminaries Immortal Fate.
Xu Xing, seeing this, breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Only then did it suddenly occur to him why the Flying Feather Immortal Palace chose Purple Magpie Valley as the first opportunity for Commoner Disciples. It was undoubtedly because the Flying Feather Immortal Palace is close to the Fengxi River and the Wangchuan Sea. The immortal talents innately born here often had affinities with phoenix-type creatures, making the Purple Magpie Morning Glow particularly suitable for cultivators with such a constitution.
Since he had already refined the Morning Glow into his body and successfully achieved "Condensing Resplendent Clouds" on his Immortal Base, Xu Xing did not plan to remain in seclusion any longer. He estimated that refining the First-class Purple Magpie Morning Glow into his body must have taken over a month of outside world time. The matter Fairy Yu Xue had entrusted to him last time was still unresolved, requiring him to return to the Sect.
However, as soon as he stood up, he suddenly felt his body become incredibly light, giving him a sensation akin to Ascending by Featherization.
His body felt as if floating in empty air!
Yet, in reality, his cultivation of the Eight-Armed Vajra Sutra had reached external accomplishment, and he weighed at least two to three hundred kilograms. Such a subversion of common sense happening to him left Xu Xing stunned for a long while.
The Immortal Path! The Immortal Path!
This is truly the Immortal Path...
After a moment, Xu Xing finally adapted to this strange state.
He murmured to himself for a while, then opened the Cave Mansion door, walked out of the Heavenly Pond parting the waters, and began to ride the Cloud Mist through the air, admiring the magnificent scenery of Biyuan Mountain.
At times, he would ride the Cloud Mist at great speed, nearly colliding with a cliff face, only to make a quick leap, the Cloud Mist beneath his feet instantly swerving upwards to merge with the sky, indistinguishable from it.
"Traveling to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu at dusk, the Green Snake in my sleeve has great boldness."
I just need to get the Sect’s Sword Pill; otherwise, this Great Imperial Court Sword Qi I’ve cultivated will have been for nothing.
After soaring freely for an entire day, Xu Xing finally reined in his indulgent thoughts.
Previously, in the Innate Realm and the early stage of the Immortal Base, although he could fly, it was hardly a swift endeavor. That kind of flight relied entirely on the support of Innate True Essence and Magic Power. There was no joy in it; instead, he constantly had to monitor the reserves of True Qi and Magic Power in his Dantian to avoid plummeting to his death.
But riding the Cloud Mist now was entirely different.
It signified his true transcendence from the mundane, a merging with heaven and earth.
Returning to the Cave Mansion, Xu Xing was about to use the green compass to reactivate the Cave Mansion’s Prohibition, so that his Biyuan Mountain Cave Mansion wouldn’t become damp and infested with snakes, insects, mice, and ants during his absence from the Sect.
Unexpectedly, in a corner of the Dan chamber, he spotted an Azure Fire Wolf Spider that had already spun a web.
The spider silk was crystalline, with a faint azure flame flickering upon it.
The Azure Fire Wolf Spider spins its silk once a year, and the spider silk can be used to weave magic clothes...
But I don’t know how to sew...
To weave magic clothes, one needs not only a seamstress but also an array cultivator to inscribe the Magic Formations. Simply selling the spider silk would barely recoup some of the cost...
Xu Xing shook his head, took a Qilin Horn Fruit from his Storage Bag, and tossed it onto the Azure Fire Wolf Spider’s web.
He had received Qilin Horn Fruits from Song Knife in the Mortal World, but he hadn’t consumed a single one.
Now that his Immortal Base was established, while consuming this fruit would still have some effect, it wouldn’t be significant. It was perfect as fodder for the Azure Fire Wolf Spider. Otherwise, over time, the Qilin Horn Fruit would rot and lose much of its spiritual essence.
The Azure Fire Wolf Spider, dozing in the corner, caught the scent of the Qilin Horn Fruit. It grasped the fruit with its two front legs and began to gnaw at it with its mouthparts. In no time, the entire Qilin Horn Fruit disappeared into its belly.
With a single Qilin Horn Fruit, it should be able to survive for about eight to ten years.
Xu Xing ignored the Azure Fire Wolf Spider’s expectant gaze, hoping for another spirit fruit. With a flicker of movement, he arrived at the Cave Mansion entrance. He used the green compass to reactivate the Cave Mansion’s Prohibition, then, with a streak of Escaping Light, vanished over the horizon.
Soon after he returned to the Sect, five Voice Transmission Talismans found their way to him.
The first Voice Transmission Talisman was from Jiang Yan, its message curt:
"[Lu Shi Pavilion!]
[Come quickly!]"
It’s probably about a meeting with friends...
Xu Xing checked the date on the Voice Transmission Talisman; it had been sent four days ago. He had some speculations about Jiang Yan’s purpose in contacting him. Jiang Yan was a Deacon of the Lu Shi Pavilion. Although he possessed a Cave Mansion, he spent most of his time in the Lu Shi Pavilion’s inner palace.
The Lu Shi Pavilion’s inner palace was even comparable to an ordinary Xuanjing Abode!
Xu Xing then checked the second Voice Transmission Talisman. Its contents read:
"[Please, Senior Brother Xu, come to Room No. C-23 in Yuehai Pavilion.]
[True Lord Song has agreed.]
[Message left by Yu Xue!]"
His residence on Biyuan Mountain was quite distant from the Flying Feather Immortal Palace. It wasn’t that the Sect lacked methods to deliver messages to his Cave Mansion; however, tools like the Ten Thousand Mile Voice Transmission Talisman were valuable and not typically used for minor affairs.
Expend what must be spent without stinginess, but save wherever possible!
Thus, when cultivators residing in distant manors like his entered the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, any delayed Voice Transmission Talismans would sense their aura and deliver the pending messages.
