I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 652 The End of the Blackwater
The statue of the Heavenly King of Growth rested quietly in Jiang Wen's divine sea. Although it remained motionless, it still made Jiang Wen feel somewhat uneasy.

The statue inexplicably entered his divine sea; could there be some conspiracy involved?
In such a strange place, one cannot be too careful. A single wrong step could lead to utter destruction. Moreover, these Four Heavenly Kings are righteous gods, no ordinary beings.

Observing the changes, Jiang Wen did not sense any difference in the statue.

After entering the divine sea, it remained motionless, simply occupying Jiang Su's original spot. This greatly annoyed the girl, and her usually aloof face showed her temper.

"Don't worry, let me see what's different about it. If I can move it, I'll definitely make room for you." Jiang Wen reassured her, which calmed Jiang Su down a bit.

After all, no matter how angry she was, it wouldn't change anything about the current situation.

That statue was nothing more than a stubborn rock, devoid of any spiritual energy or supernatural power.

"I have nowhere to live," Jiang Su said softly.

“Where in my divine sea cannot you reside?” Jiang Wen said, speechless, gazing at his vast divine sea.

The Divine Sea is the sea of ​​consciousness, the abode of a person's spirit and consciousness. Changes in the Divine Sea are equivalent to changes in a person's spirit.

With Jiang Wen's current cultivation level, his divine sea has naturally been expanded to a vast extent. However, describing it merely as vast would be somewhat narrow. It is simply an endless expanse of deep blue ocean, upon which dwells a solitary immortal island.

His statue stands on the island, next to which was originally a statue of Jiang Su. However, after the last transformation, that statue became Jiang Su, and usually rests beside his statue.

Now her position has been occupied, and there is no other place for her to stand.

Having understood this, Jiang Wen continued after saying this, "You may find a place to establish your own divine position; I will not restrict you."

"This isn't as good." Jiang Su shook her head, clearly unwilling.

"If we can find a way to move this thing, we will definitely put it back in its place," Jiang Wen said earnestly.

After much persuasion, they finally managed to calm the aloof fairy down. Even Jiang Wen couldn't quite understand why this woman's temper was so much worse than his, since they had clearly separated from him.
Perhaps it was Jiang Wen's words that reflected in the divine sea, for a great sun rose from the divine sea.

Then the fairy island expanded rapidly, spreading in all directions.

Grass and trees grow, and water trickles gently.

Everything seemed so beautiful, except for the absence of living beings.

After circling the statue of the deity once, Jiang Su chose a spot not far away to land.

A goddess statue was erected, taking on her likeness.

After dealing with these matters, Jiang Wen looked at the statue of the Heavenly King of Growth again. Unable to find any clues, he gave up.

Never mind, let's leave it in the Divine Sea for now.

With the statue of the deity in charge, nothing too troublesome should arise.

After all, the statue had helped avert that dangerous situation.

Jiang Wen only knew that his own divine statue held an extremely high position, even true dragons had to address it as an immortal celestial being. However, it was usually silent except for traveling between the two realms. But in crucial moments, it was still quite reliable.

After surveying the divine sea for a while, Jiang Wen came to the stone tablet.

The Inner Scripture was placed in the deduction, and the required merit value displayed on it silenced him.

A seven-figure merit value is outrageous; I can't afford to promote it.

He temporarily set aside his thoughts on deducing the *Inner Scripture*, as he needed to conserve some merit points. After all, merit points were rare and inherently important. Meanwhile, the incense offerings were now approaching eight figures.

I wonder how much more the incense offerings will increase after I go back.

Having reviewed everything, Jiang Wen withdrew from the divine sea. He opened his eyes and looked at this filthy world.

What he saw before him inexplicably gave rise to a sense of clarity. No matter what he looked at, he could quickly ascertain its information.

"Bodhi tree, red spider lily."

As he looked at the ancient tree, the words "Bodhi" came to mind. The knowledge bestowed upon him from the ancient memories of the gods allowed Jiang Wen to understand all things in this world.

The scarlet, fuzzy, withered grass beneath the Bodhi tree is the legendary spider lily. It doesn't grow on the road to the underworld, but rather grows alongside the Bodhi tree.

The gods' memories offered no answers regarding this matter. It was like a knowledge base, only providing a fixed answer based on what Jiang Wen saw and thought. As for other things, the endless memories remained unmoved.

"Oh well, it'll still be of some use." Jiang Wen comforted himself, not feeling too disappointed.

While the memories of gods are of little use, they can at least help them recognize things, which is of great use to them.

Upon closer inspection of his cultivation level, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

The Golden Elixir is regenerated, and the Five Elements are born.

The initial stage of cultivating the Primordial Qi has been achieved; it is only waiting to be perfected.

After all, the Five Qi converge at the origin, which is the five internal organs. He is currently cultivating his heart qi and refining his fire element. Once his heart and fire are united, he will achieve the One Qi Converging at the Origin.

Once all five elements have returned to their origin, one can immediately begin practicing the Three Flowers.

They are all in heaven and earth, and can go anywhere in the world.

"I'm just one step away from the Saint realm." As Jiang Wen sensed the changes in his Golden Core, his understanding of the path to sainthood became increasingly clear.

Now the road is right beneath his feet; he only needs to take one more step forward to achieve it easily.

However, his six senses warned him not to be so eager to enter the realm of sainthood.

He is still missing one thing; if he can achieve perfection, he will have great fortune when he steps onto the path of sainthood.

“What’s missing? What’s missing?” Jiang Wen squinted, unable to grasp that spark of inspiration.

Unable to figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it. He followed the surging black water upstream, wanting to see what lay at its end.

“Divine Blood.” He looked at the Blackwater, his mind filled with information about it.

Just as he suspected, the black water was indeed divine blood that had been corrupted. As for why it had been corrupted, the god's memories did not provide an answer.

He knew it wasn't just a simple secret, but the truth about the fall of an ancient myth.

Although he longed to know what had happened during those unknown years, Jiang Wen knew in his heart that he was aware of his own limitations, and that some secrets were better known sooner rather than later. In fact, the very act of spreading some stories could influence changes in the world.

Just as the folk belief holds that telling ghost stories on the night of the Ghost Festival (July 15th of the lunar calendar) can attract spirits to possess you, those mythical beings may have even more terrifying causes and effects.

As you travel upstream along the Black River, the Bodhi trees become increasingly dense.

Fluorescent lights flickered, their scarlet glow illuminating the entire filthy world.

Countless bizarre beasts and birds grew, enough to terrify anyone. They fought and devoured each other, then transformed into even more terrifying forms.

Even Jiang Wen suffered many attacks, but those attacks were as gentle as a spring breeze.

With a flick of his wrist, countless birds and beasts turned into blood.

It fell into the Blackwater River and drifted downstream.

Jiang Wen continued walking, cultivating his primordial energy while taking in everything within his internal organs.

Occasionally, she would talk to Jiang Su, and the woman had recovered somewhat after her divine position was taken over.

She told Jiang Wen that the Divine Sea had changed, but she wasn't quite sure what those changes were. She only felt that the Divine Sea had become increasingly profound, and that without a deafening gale, it would be difficult to shake this boundless Divine Sea.

Jiang Wen also noticed this to some extent; he felt his essence, energy, and spirit becoming increasingly pure.

Indeed, this Heavenly King brought quite a few benefits.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Wen finally reached the source of the black water. He looked up, his eyes filled with surprise and astonishment.
