I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 642 Reunion with Jiang Su
Jiang Wen stared at the lake, a sense of excitement stirring within him.

I just used my divine sense to probe the bottom of the lake and discovered something extraordinary. This lake, formed from spiritual energy, is far from simple; it may even hold a great secret.

"It can liquefy spiritual energy to form this large lake. It seems that the place at the bottom of this lake is no ordinary place. If my previous guess was correct, perhaps diving into the bottom of the lake can lead directly to the heart of this fallen immortal."

Feeling a surge of excitement, Jiang Wen longed to dive to the bottom of the lake and investigate. He had a vague intuition that the truth beneath the lake was of great importance to him.

However, such a casual journey into the unknown always carries risks. What if the lakebed is home to something he cannot contend with?

His brows were furrowed, and he hesitated for a long time.

In this dilemma, the divine statues in the sea of ​​gods radiated divine light.

It seemed as if an unnamed voice lingered in his ears, urging him to go to the bottom of the lake to see it.

Jiang Wen was stunned, his heart churning like a stormy sea. The statue rarely responded to him, always remaining silent. Although he had been in contact with it for a long time, he still found it difficult to understand what the statue truly was.

Now, for the first time ever, there's been some movement, and they even asked him to go to the bottom of the lake to take a look.

Sensing that things weren't so simple, Jiang Wen returned to his divine sea. Gazing at the three divine statues before him, he called out to the goddess statue beside him, "Come out."

"..."

Without a sound, a graceful figure stood in place.

The woman looked at him, and the two remained silent.

This situation didn't last long before Jiang Wen spoke first, asking, "Do you know why it changed?"

"I don't know either." A clear, cold voice came, and the woman in white slowly walked up to Jiang Wen. The two were face to face, only a few feet apart, and could see each other clearly. "I was in a deep sleep before, and it was this that woke me up."

"You've been asleep the whole time?" Jiang Wen looked at the goddess statue with a strange expression. "Don't you know what's going on outside?"

"I don't know." The woman shook her head, her expression indifferent. "Unless you want me to see, to know, I can only exist in your sea of ​​consciousness. Without your permission, I can do nothing."

"Alright, I understand." Jiang Wen sighed, looking at the woman with a hint of helplessness. At first, he wasn't wary of her; she could see outside. But later, as Jiang Wen became more cautious, the woman could no longer perceive what was happening outside. "If possible, I wouldn't want anyone else existing within my consciousness. You should understand what kind of person I am."

“Of course I understand all this.” The woman nodded. “I am you, and you are me. It’s just that we separated and started our own lives. Although I am who I am now, I am also who you were before. I know everything you think and know. We both know what kind of person you are. That’s why I can still exist here, in the Sea of ​​Consciousness.”

“If I have the chance, I will separate you from me. But it's not the right time yet. I'm going to do something risky. If you don't mind, why don't you help me?” Jiang Wen extended his hand, inviting the woman. The two were originally the same person, but fate had dealt them a cruel blow.

The woman gripped his hand, a slight smile appearing on her usually cold and aloof face: "Since you need my help, I certainly won't stand idly by."

"I will let you see the outside world, and then you will understand what I am going to do." After saying this, Jiang Wen withdrew from his divine sea. He tacitly allowed the woman to use his body to experience the outside world, on the condition that it would not affect him.

The woman agreed without hesitation, after all, they were one.

"Your name is Jiang Su, doesn't it feel awkward?"

"I am a woman, and I wouldn't mind having any other name. Could it be that Your Excellency wants me to change my name?" the woman said calmly.

"That's not what I meant at all," Jiang Wen said with a smile.

After exchanging a few words, they ran out of things to talk about. After all, talking to oneself felt rather strange.

When his consciousness returned, Jiang Wen was still standing by the lake.

He gazed at the calm lake surface and summoned four flying swords. The four colored swords circled around him, protecting him completely.

"Did the Venerable One reforge the magical artifacts? The array swords of this Four Symbols Formation are much more powerful than before," Jiang Su exclaimed in Jiang Wen's consciousness. Having not seen the outside world for a long time, the woman found everything fascinating.

Jiang Wen didn't hide anything and recounted his journey to Black Mountain and White Water, and his subsequent fall into the Land of Fallen Immortals. Although the story wasn't long, it was thrilling enough.

Jiang Su listened quietly in her mind, having no recollection of the Fallen Immortal Land. Upon hearing that the Baixi tribe might be one of the myriad races of Taicang, she couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

"Perhaps even Wenji back then never imagined that the world would become like this hundreds of thousands of years later."

"Perhaps," Jiang Wen said.

He activated the Four Symbols Sword Formation to protect himself within it.

The four array swords, forged from Xuan Tie refined stone and further refined with spiritual spring water and dragon blood, are so powerful that even a saint cannot break through them.

After using a few more spells, Jiang Wen leaped into the lake.

The moment he fell into the water, he felt an endless stream of spiritual energy.

The pure spiritual energy surged into his body through every pore, flowing into his golden core. At this moment, Jiang Wen felt his golden core frantically absorbing the spiritual energy, gradually gathering golden Dao patterns.

"Such rich spiritual energy! Could this lake be formed entirely from spiritual energy?" Jiang Su asked in surprise.

"Your guess is correct. This lake is formed from the liquefaction of spiritual energy. If we can absorb all the water in this lake, we may be able to reach the Saint Realm in no time." Jiang Wen knew how terrifying this lake formed from spiritual energy was. The countless drops of water could satisfy the mana needs of a cultivator with a life-fire cultivation in just one gulp.

If one can refine the entire lake, it is not impossible to reach the position of a saint.

After all, this is the heart of a fallen immortal, and this lake may even be the essence of that fallen immortal.

"If I could collect the water from this lake, I might be able to create a physical body," Jiang Su said with a mix of emotion and regret. Refining this lake was incredibly difficult, and in her current state, she couldn't create a physical body either. She could only wait for Jiang Wen to have the opportunity to obtain some rare and precious materials to rebuild her body.

"If I can find those treasures that can rebuild physical bodies, I will definitely help you," Jiang Wen promised.

He gradually adapted to the rich spiritual energy, circulating his golden core to isolate most of it outside his body. He simply opened a path, slowly drawing the spiritual energy into his body.

Jiang Wen's body, which had been burning hot, gradually calmed down, and he also got used to the lake water.

He manipulated the formation, setting up a teleportation array along the lakeshore. Whenever he encountered danger, he could activate this array to escape from perilous situations.

This formation is ingenious, but unfortunately, it has too many limitations. If the distance is too great, the formation cannot be activated. It is only effective within a range of about a hundred miles.

Submerged in the water, Jiang Wen looked at the underwater scenery.

Contrary to his expectations, the clear blue lakebed was completely empty.

It's unclear whether the overwhelming concentration of spiritual energy poisoned all the creatures or for some other reason.

In short, after scanning the area, Jiang Wen gave up the idea of ​​searching for the aquatic spirit beast.

He looked towards the deep bottom of the lake in the distance, then transformed into a sharp sword and swam in that direction.
