The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 937 Blessed Land
The blessed world inside the volcano is not very large, roughly equivalent to half of Yumen County, and more than two-thirds of its territory is occupied by two extremely large bodies.

If Zhao Chen hadn't followed the spring into the blessed land and viewed the entire panorama from a higher perspective, he would have had no idea of ​​its full extent. After all, even his divine sense, which extended for over a hundred miles, couldn't completely cover it.

Is this the body of a Daoist abomination at the "Ascension" level? That's a bit too exaggerated.

Emerging from a spring, Zhao Chen stared dumbfounded at the seemingly endless "mountain of flesh," almost thinking he was under an illusion.

"This is not surprising. Since the inner world of 'Shengxuan' can be transformed into a 'blessed land world,' when they reveal their true form, they will naturally be the size of a blessed land or a grotto-heaven world."

"These two have shrunk considerably because they were suppressed by my 'blessed land'." Danfei seemed to have noticed Zhao Chen's thoughts and explained calmly, though a slight, unnatural blush appeared on her cheeks.

"Can the size of one's true form be as large as the size of one's inner world?" Zhao Chen recalled the few real people he had seen who had revealed their "true forms." It seemed that apart from his master's, which was relatively large, the others were only three to five meters tall, or simply the size of a normal person. He couldn't help but ask the question directly.

Upon being asked, Danfei rolled her eyes at him and said, "The inner world of a 'Dongxuan' True Person is not yet fully 'solidified'. Whether it is the 'Dharma Form' or the 'True Body', they can only exist in the 'Xuantian' for a short time. The larger they reveal, the shorter the time they exist. Unless they need to risk their lives, no True Person would do that."

"Of course, those who cultivate 'Battle Techniques' are an exception. Those martial arts practitioners at the 'Dongxuan' stage can basically use 'Heaven and Earth Manifestations,' but for them to use this move also means they are risking their lives..."

At this point, Danfei seemed to have reached her limit and said angrily, "Can you let me go first?"

Not only did they hug me, they even pinched me...

"Huh? Ah... Sorry." Zhao Chen belatedly realized that the two of them were still in the same position they had when they entered the "spring". He quickly let go of the other person and used magic to conjure up clothes on his body.

Although this certainly wouldn't block the Empress's divine sense, it was better than nothing.

However, Empress Danfei did not do such a self-deceiving thing. Since she had already been so "open" with him, as a cultivator, she did not need to be bound by such "minor details".

Besides, she won't be able to wear clothes while recovering, so there's no need to go through the trouble.

Anyway, Zhao Chen isn't an outsider.

Danfei composed herself, letting the effects of the "Five Immortals' True Qi" that had just been channeled into the spring dissipate, before continuing, "Inside this blessed land of the volcano, besides these two 'Daoist Demons' and the 'spring water' I need for healing, there are some other 'opportunities.' You can stay here for four hours, and whatever you obtain during that time will be yours."

"This can be considered as repaying the kindness of escorting me along the way."

Of course, despite saying that, the Empress knew that she had already become deeply involved in the other party's fate, and that she could not "repay" the cause and effect with this little bit of information. The key point was that she herself was willing to participate in it.

Zhao Chen understood this proud and aloof nature, so he asked with a smile, "Do you have any recommendations?"

Empress Danfei thought for a moment, then pointed to a mountain peak in the east and said, "There is a 'Fairy Platform' on the top of that mountain. I once imprisoned the remnant spirit of a sword immortal in the second stage of the 'Dongxuan' realm there."

“Didn’t you want to create a sword technique that could cut through a Devil Fruit? Why don’t you go and look for it? It should be helpful to you.” Danfei paused here, then added, “If it still exists.”

The spiritual remnant of the Dongxuan Sword Immortal? Zhao Chen frowned and asked in confusion, "Why do you keep this spiritual remnant?" "When you reach the 'Ascension' stage, cultivation is actually the process of constantly perfecting the laws and principles of your blessed land and cave, comprehending and touching the 'Great Dao of the Void' corresponding to the relevant 'laws and principles,' and condensing the 'Dao Fruit.'"

“But my own comprehension is too slow and inefficient, so I’ve resorted to some shortcuts, though they vary from school to school… Mine is actually quite crude,” Danfei replied calmly.

Although she didn't reveal the specific methods, Zhao Chen could already guess: since she was slow to comprehend things herself, she would just plunder others!

The reason why the remnant spirit of this "sword immortal" can still remain here is most likely because Danfei's "Dao" does not overlap much with his and he cannot use it in the short term, so he is "imprisoned" for future needs.

The local "demons" on these two Yingzhou Islands are probably the same...

Zhao Chen also realized that although the Empress seemed "arrogant and cute", that was only in front of him... She also had a "cold and crazy" side!
The "Five Emperors Paying Homage to the True Ones" supernatural power reveals the beauty of the Great Dao... Could its true effect be to incorporate the pursuit of this "beauty" into the "perseverance" of high-level cultivators?
No matter how much "Xuantian" may appear to be a normal fantasy cultivation world on the surface, its true nature is already madness.

Perhaps the "Five Emperors Paying Homage to the True Ones" is a manifestation of "Xuantian's" "perseverance" in refusing to fall into depravity.

While Zhao Chen was pondering, the Empress had already pointed out three or four places, and finally said, "I need a considerable amount of time to heal. You can go and take care of your business first, and you don't need to come back to find me..."

"I will wait for you in the Chiyou Cave later to help you reforge the Golden Bucket and unlock its secrets."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chen snapped out of his reverie. He showed no sentimental emotions about parting and nodded slightly, saying, "In that case, take care. We'll take our leave now."

Danfei didn't say anything more. Although she had developed unusual feelings for Zhao Chen, she wasn't going to let a short separation affect her mood. So she walked towards the two "Daoist Demons" on her own.

Zhao Chen watched her leave until she entered a pool of seven-colored spring water, then withdrew his divine sense and headed towards the "Immortal Platform" that the Empress had pointed out.

The Empress, who had entered the spring, was also using her divine sense to watch Zhao Chen depart, muttering to herself:
"Actually, 'dual cultivation' with him can help you recover faster..."

"Unfortunately, his cultivation level is still too low. He needs to cross the third level of the Heavenly Ladder to reach the Divine Power realm. After all, I can't give him all my Origin Qi every time to protect him from losses."

"And the 'death' energy within him must have been left by a female cultivator at the 'Ascension' stage, definitely not some Zhong family patriarch!"

"This is a scheme to make him adapt to his own 'way' in advance, so that he can make demands later!"

There aren't many Ascended cultivators who cultivate the Great Dao of 'Death,' and there are even fewer female cultivators...

"Who could it be?"
