The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 1010 "Night Raid"

Having discerned the true nature of the "Birdman," Zhao Chen felt more confident and decided to help Hongyue resolve this potential threat in the near future.

To be honest, he originally intended to eradicate the pollution deep within Red Moon's spirit as well. His previous talk about "waiting to cross the second body" was actually just to lull that "birdman" into a false sense of security. But unfortunately, what that pollution had fostered far exceeded his expectations, and he really needed to reconsider his approach...

They had no choice but to start by targeting that "birdman" who seemed to be a Dao Lord with divine sense, but whose actual level was not high.

After repeatedly considering and making numerous contingency plans, Zhao Chen finally calmed down, got up from the "Six Dragon Throne," walked down the steps, and came to the "Dimensional Gate" located on one side of the hall.

This "door" can connect to many "fantasy worlds" he knows, and he can locate them as long as he has come into contact with items from "fantasy worlds".

Previously, Zhao Chen could only go to two "other dimensions": the world where "Klein" was located, or rather, the original projection world in the Taixiao Secret Realm, and the world from which the demigod witch Panatia came.

According to the being named "Klein," the two worlds are parallel universes, and the stories that happen in each world generally follow similar paths.

Unlike the fantasy world belonging to "Xuantian", these two worlds have extremely high upper limits for the extraordinary level and both have "Dao Lords" existing, so Zhao Chen did not dare to step into them rashly.

However, after returning from the Beppu of the Kagami Village spirit, the "Dimensional Gate" could connect to an additional space.

Zhao Chen summoned the "Key of Dawn" and embedded it into the yellow gemstone handle of the door.

The next moment, the gate slowly opened, revealing the scene of the castle tower opposite.

"As expected, it's possible to directly enter these 'fantasy worlds'... However, my entering like this seems to be a kind of 'descent,' so I need to find a container as a vessel." Zhao Chen thought for a moment, then stepped into the gate.

The next moment, his consciousness awakened within the "body" of the Mountain City Lord.

Zhao Chen opened his eyes and sensed his new body. He found that this person had almost no memories, except for a will that "cannot let the enemy capture the castle tower".

"This fantasy world is still too rough, and after Fairy Mingguang took over this place, she didn't finish adapting the 'story,' which is why the 'characters' in it didn't even have character designs."

"Of course, more importantly, the new story is still unknown; it's just an empty shell..."

Zhao Chen shook his head, thinking that Xuan Tian's current "fantasy worlds" related to gods were probably not very well-developed, since not many people in either the Great Xia or the Western Regions believed in gods anymore.

On the contrary, those widely circulated heroic tales, folk legends and the like may give birth to a relatively realistic world.

However, without the concept and authority of "other dimensions," one cannot enter the Xuan Tian... Of course, if one is captured by "weirdness" and uses relevant knowledge to evolve a similar "weird domain," that's another story.

For example, Consort Ning controls a "mysterious domain" similar to "Resident Evil," but it is not a true "other dimension," and the rules within it are still those of Xuantian.

The characters and scenes are actually ambiguous.

The fact that this "knowledge" from previous lives' anime, novels, and games could appear in Xuan Tian suggests that it came from other transmigrators, most likely "Star Gods."

Of course, the suspicion of Daoist Taixiao cannot be ruled out now. "'Spring Goddess' is Funina, 'Flower Goddess' is suspected to be Otsutsuki... but I guess she is definitely not a proper 'Otsutsuki' clansman, after all, Funina also incorporates elements of other characters, otherwise I would have recognized her at the time."

"As for 'Maple God' and 'Snow God'... it's really hard to guess, after all, the 'composition' of the Star God is quite complicated..."

After making a few complaints, Zhao Chen cut off the "descent" and his consciousness returned to the "Old Starship".

Next, he returned to the Six Dragons Throne and materialized the "crystal" he had obtained from the other mansion, preparing to listen to the "sermon" of the luminous fairy's image right there.

Soon, a beautiful woman in a long yellow dress emerged from the blooming "crystal flower," then parted her lips slightly and began to recite the "Dharma Image Chapter" of the "Brahma Sounds of Non-Arrogance and Joyful Nature":
"The Brahma Sound Without Arrogance and Joy of Heaven's Divine Mantra is the fifth chapter of the Nine Heavens Divine Mantra, which focuses on cultivating the 'Emperor's True Treasury of Life Essence and the Spiritual Qi of the Five Immortals'."
"Turning over the chariots of the Five Emperors, drifting gracefully to the gate of Xuanshang. Wandering in the fields of Huanghua, returning to the place of proud joy. Gathering the scenes of flying in the sky, many of the old joys are no more. The Taiwei returns with the yellow banner, without the spirit banner of the hero. Summoning the long night palace, opening the way for the souls of the living. The young master assists Huang Ning, recording all forms and spirits."

"The scriptures say: 'After five visits to the Five Emperors, one attains true enlightenment, and one's internal organs become cool and refreshed.' 'Turning and turning' describes a soaring appearance. 'Floating and drifting' comes from the gate of the Mysterious Heaven. Ancient commentaries refer to the gate above the palace as the gate of the Mysterious Capital..."

"The Jade Chapter Cave is a wondrous place, where the five cycles of heaven and earth divide. Qi is refined in the primordial organs, and immortals are born from the Purple Gate. After several cycles, all the true beings gather, and the response to the rising sun is abundant. The Jade Maiden bestows five fragrances, and the Holy Mother celebrates ten thousand years. All three realms rejoice, bowing in reverence to the Dao Lord."

"Five fives represent earth, which is the combined number of heaven and earth, and thus the principle of generation always relies on it..."

As Liu Ying eloquently explained the various "mysteries" in the voice of the Great Dao, Zhao Chen gradually became engrossed in listening. He compared these phenomena with his own "Five Emperors Paying Homage to the True Ones" supernatural power, understanding the differences and identifying his shortcomings.

Putting aside the cultivation method of "Dharma Form", this lecture made Zhao Chen feel the law and principle of "Five Emperors Paying Homage to the True One" more deeply, and brought him one step closer to completely mastering this great supernatural power.

This Fairy Mingguang truly lives up to her reputation as a former 'True Person,' her skill level is still very high, especially in the 'Five Emperors Paying Homage to the True One' supernatural power, where she has accumulated considerable experience.

About fifteen minutes later, after expressing his feelings, Zhao Chen took back the crystal and ended his "sermon".

The "Dongxuan" method is no longer something ordinary people can hear. Even though Zhao Chen is now a supernatural being and even though he has the protection of the "Great Sun Star Chariot," the time he can listen to the true master's teachings each day is still limited. Any more would be a heavy burden for him now.

"Speaking of which, other superior divine abilities can actually be mastered by comprehending the 'laws' related to the foundational divine abilities, perfecting one's own 'principle,' and then integrating the law and principle into the divine ability. By doing so, one can be confident in passing the tribulation of the second ladder."

"After all, the tribulation of the second ladder comes from the backlash of the laws related to 'supernatural powers'. Generally, high-grade supernatural power cultivators have absolutely strong foundational supernatural powers, and even if they have not fully mastered other supernatural powers, they will most likely be able to pass."

"But I can't... or rather, I need to fully master those first-grade divine abilities to have any hope of passing the second ladder!"
"With so many first-grade divine abilities, there are indeed many drawbacks. No wonder those superior sects and aristocratic families, despite possessing numerous first-grade abilities, often only have one or two true disciples who can cultivate them."

Fortunately, the fundamental divine power of the 'Great Sun Star Chariot' does not require comprehending 'laws' to master; rather, it requires 'playing'...

"At the same time, when playing the role of the 'Star River Fortune Teller,' even if you obtain items with 'cause and effect,' you can eliminate 'calamity' to some extent."

Just as Zhao Chen's thoughts were racing, he suddenly frowned, then left the "Old Starship" and returned his mind to reality.

Because he realized that the "magic array" he had set up had been activated, but the person did not stop it on their own, it was clear that someone he had been granted authority over had arrived.

The next moment, Zhao Chen saw the princess quietly slip into his room...
