I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 647 Brother and Sister

There were unusual movements in the Immortal Cave, and this was not just something Jiang Wen made up.

He sensed the anomaly upon his arrival; the black water in the deepest part was gathering. If he wasn't mistaken, that black water would surely gush forth along the Immortal Cave, submerging this entire settlement.

Who among the people here can come into contact with the black water? Any Rakshasa who comes into contact with the black water will invariably turn into a corpse.

"This matter is of great importance, and I need to discuss it with my brother." Yan bowed to Jiang Wen with a solemn expression and thanked him before hurriedly leaving.

Jiang Wen walked out of the house and looked into the distance.

Countless Rakshasa were diligently digging out the fleshy fungus from the tumor, while countless laborers pushed wooden carts to transport it back. Every now and then, someone would touch the black water and turn into a corpse, lunging at the living. But the laborers remained calm, scattering to let the guards kill the corpse.

Everything was in perfect order and utterly peaceful.

However, Jiang Wen could feel the slow pulse of the immortal cave, like a stagnant heart reviving and beginning to transport blood throughout its body.

The faint sound of the black water rolling sounded like thunder to him, booming from afar.

"It seems that there have been changes in the five internal organs of the Heavenly King of Growth," Jiang Wen said.

“Your Excellency should not be afraid of this black water. Why not go and observe it again? There are changes within this deity, and there must be a reason for it,” Jiang Su said.

"Once these Rakshasa people have retreated, we will go inside their internal organs to find out what's going on."

Jiang Wen awaited the arrival of the Blackwater Tide, while Yan of the Rakshasa Clan found her brother, Ying. Ying was currently handling affairs in the house; he had a great many things to do every day.

He was in charge of all matters, big and small, at the Immortal Cave residence, and no negligence was allowed.

Although this place is called the Immortal Cave, it is actually extremely dangerous. The black water is everywhere, and the corpses it transforms into are even more difficult to deal with. If we are not careful, the corpses can infect many of the laborers. If a zombie horde forms, it will be difficult to handle, and we will need the help of the heroes of our clan.

The door was pushed open with a bang, and Ying looked up at his younger brother.

He rubbed his head, feeling a bit of a headache. He had always found his younger brother Yan troublesome.

Although Yan has a good nature, she is always hesitant and indecisive, which makes him quite helpless.

Eagle put down the animal hide scroll and asked Yan, "Yan, let's discuss this matter again. You should know that the clan elders will not allow us to relocate our settlement at will."

"No, Eagle!" Yan cried anxiously. "We must lead our people away from here. The Immortal Cave is no longer safe; it's in danger of being submerged by the Black Tide at any moment!"

"Black Tide? Immortal Cave? Yan, who told you that there's a Black Tide in the Immortal Cave?" Eagle asked, frowning unhappily. "Do you know how troublesome it is to come back in once we leave the Immortal Cave?"

“I know, Eagle. But if we don’t leave the Immortal Cave, we’ll be overwhelmed by the Black Tide. There are hundreds of thousands of Rakshasa people here, and tens of thousands of warriors. If they are all swallowed up by the Black Tide, the Rakshasa clan will suffer a severe blow!” Yan said hurriedly.

“Of course I know these things, but Yan, how did you know the Black Tide would come? You know, the Black Tide has never appeared in the Immortal Cave before.” Eagle stared at Yan and asked. Of course, he knew how terrifying the Black Tide was. It was a natural disaster where black water, stretching from the sky to the earth, roared in and submerged everything.

Once faced with the Black Tide, everyone must stay away; even the heroes of the tribe are not spared.

"This..." Yan gritted her teeth, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to tell the truth. "Eagle, do you know who the distinguished guest who recently visited the tribe is?"

"Distinguished guest? You mean that outsider named Jiang Wen?" Ying said unhappily. "Of course I know him. The elders of the Azure Sky Tower have high hopes for him. They feel that this person can bring something different to Baixi. But for me, relying on this person is really inappropriate. Who can know the truth about this person?"

“It’s him, I just ran into him,” Yan said. “What?!” Ying roared, clenching his fists as he stood up. “This man dared to trespass into the Immortal Cave?! His crime is truly unforgivable! Guards!”

"Brother!" Yan interrupted Ying. "Listen to me first."

"Hmph, you speak first. But this person cannot be let go. You should know the rules of the forbidden area; now, apart from our Rakshasa clan, no one else is allowed to enter the Immortal Cave. Otherwise, there will be no mercy!"

“I know, but brother, you should let me finish,” Yan Chang sighed. “I just met this person, who said he came from the deepest part of the Immortal Cave. He saw the black water gathering and about to turn into a black tide that would flood the Immortal Cave.”

"His words are unreliable!" Eagle retorted categorically. "What black tide? There could be no black tide in the Immortal Cave. Our tribe has been excavating here for ten thousand years; when has a black tide ever appeared?"

“But brother, have you ever thought about why the black water is corroding at an increasingly faster rate lately? We have to retreat several miles after digging for meat fungus for just a few days. This has never happened before.” Yan calmed himself down and told Ying about the recent signs.

“If that were all, I wouldn’t think much of it. But brother, do you know what? These past few days, when I’ve been falling asleep, I’ve always felt the Immortal Cave pulsating. It’s like it’s alive, slowly wriggling. I have this ominous feeling, but I can’t find the source. Today, I met that distinguished guest, and his words made me realize that the ominous feeling I’m experiencing is related to the Immortal Cave.”

"Brother, even if you don't care about me, you should at least think about the hundreds of thousands of Rakshasa people in this immortal cave!"

Yan's words calmed Ying down; his anger dissipated, leaving only hesitation and inner conflict.

He naturally believed his younger brother's words, after all, the abilities Yan gained after awakening his bloodline were different from his own. Yan could sense good and bad fortune, and could distinguish between good and evil. It was thanks to Yan's abilities that the two brothers had been able to grow to their current level.

After all, there are many geniuses in the tribe, but even more geniuses died in the Land of Fallen Immortals.

Only those who survive can be called the pride of their clan.

"Do you think he's right?" the eagle asked.

"I don't think he's wrong. That distinguished guest is very mysterious. Even I can't sense his good or evil; he seems to exist as if he doesn't exist. He's extraordinary." Yan recalled Jiang Wen's appearance and felt a little apprehensive. This person was too mysterious; his senses were practically useless.

“If there really is a black tide, we have to report to the elders.” Eagle hesitated, swallowed hard, and made a decision. “We can evacuate from here, but not all of us. I’ll leave a portion to continue digging for the meat fungus. Yan, you take 200,000 people and leave the Immortal Cave. No matter what, nothing can happen to our people.”

"If the elders ask, just say it was done by me, Eagle."

"Big brother!"

"Go and give the order quickly," Eagle snapped, waving his hand. "Once you've made a decision, don't delay."

"I understand." Yan nodded, knowing his elder brother was stubborn. He summoned the guards and gave them instructions.

The entire encampment was thrown into turmoil, and countless people began to move out of the encampment under the guards' orders.

At this moment, Jiang Wen stood atop a towering tumor. Looking at the rolling black waves of water approaching from afar, his expression was grave.

"They're here," Jiang Wen muttered to himself.

"Does Your Excellency truly intend to contend with this black water?" Jiang Su asked with some concern within her divine sea.

"It's alright, I just want to figure something out." Jiang Wen smiled frankly and took out the wooden whip from his storage bag.

"I want to see just how powerful this treasure is. Can it help me defeat the gods above and subdue demons below?"
