I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 659 Cocoon
We swept through layers of deep forest, trampling countless Bodhi trees under our feet.

Following the path he had come from, Jiang Wen quickly found the entrance to the lakebed.

The entrance remains unchanged. A pool of crystal-clear water fills the entire field of vision, seemingly inverting West Lake overhead, shimmering in the crimson twilight.

Although it seemed to hang from the heavens and could collapse at any moment, a faint white light enveloped the lake's surface, blending everything into the filthy world.

Jiang Wen knew that it was the protection left by the Heavenly King of Growth, separating the impurities. Only the overflowing spiritual energy could enter the lake through that white light. This was probably why this deity still retained a sliver of life, preventing him from completely falling into oblivion.

With a leap, a thousand feet is nothing more than a hand's reach.

Like a koi carp entering the water, he silently fell into the inverted lake bottom.

The spiritual energy in the water surged in and enveloped him tightly.

His spirit, which had been somewhat weary from the filthy world, had recovered considerably. Gazing at the tranquil lake around him, Jiang Wen felt a strong urge to collect the water. This was a vast lake where spiritual energy had coalesced, a rare find in the world.

However, the thought was fleeting; he wasn't that greedy.

The vast lake of spiritual energy remaining within the heart of this deity is certainly not simple. If his guess is correct, the entire Divine Blessed World depends on this island for its existence.

If this island and this lake are destroyed, the world will surely suffer a calamity.

Jiang Wen even realized that the reason the elders of the Azure Sky Tower were so anxious was because the situation in the Land of Divine Blessing was deteriorating, which was why they made that promise.

If these ideas are correct, this lake is likely the source of divine protection.

"Like the five internal organs of a person, is the heart the foundation of life and the source of vitality?" Jiang Wen thought that the five internal organs of a person were similar to those of a deity. Therefore, even if a deity falls and becomes a fallen immortal, as long as the heart is immortal, there will still be a source of life.

As Jiang Wen swam in the lake, his speed increased even further.

It wasn't long before they surfaced on the lake.

Gazing at the still verdant scenery of the island, he felt quite refreshed. Having seen so much of the darkness and crimson of the filthy world, the vibrant life was all the more delightful. This exploration of the lake had been very rewarding. He not only collected many Bodhi trees and learned about the origin of the Light Tree, but also plucked a ginseng fruit from the filth.

Having been tempered by divine blood, the four array swords have become even more powerful. They are in no way inferior to those Dao-suppressing magical treasures.

He will be able to protect himself if he encounters that giant god again.

After quickly exploring the island, Jiang Wen thoroughly examined it. Although the island was large, it was no longer as mysterious as it once was. However, there were quite a few forbidden areas, places that even he dared not enter.

The deathly aura there was so intense that even immortals would be terrified.

I amassed quite a few treasures on the island, some of which are truly exceptional and best left unsaid. The island has accumulated countless treasures over countless years; it was impossible to choose just one.

Jiang Wen carefully selected his victims, but did not kill them all. Just as the moon waxes and wanes when full, so too does water wane when full. Excessive greed is contrary to the natural order.

Finally, back on the cliff, Jiang Wen set up an array.

He took out the ginseng fruit and placed it in front of him. Then he called out to Jiang Su in his divine sea, "It's your turn. I'll protect you."

"Thank you, Venerable One." Jiang Su gazed at the ginseng fruit and took a deep breath. Leaving aside her many emotions for the moment, her expression was utterly solemn.

There is only one chance to rebuild the physical body using ginseng fruit.

If we fail, we will never have such an opportunity again.

Even with Jiang Su's aloof nature, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Even Jiang Wen could sense the anxiety in the woman's eyes.

"Don't be impatient, it's just a matter of rebuilding the physical body," Jiang Wen reassured. "Even if we fail, there will be other opportunities. Since we were able to find something good inside the Heavenly King of Growth, there must be something else elsewhere. Even if it's not in the Fallen Immortal Land, it's possible in the Sumeru Realm."

Success or failure can be decided in a single thought; have faith in yourself.

"I understand." Jiang Su nodded seriously and didn't say anything more.

Her entire body shimmered with azure light, and her clothes moved without wind. Then she took a step, causing the divine sea to ripple.

Jiang Wen used the Divine Sea to help her, allowing her to step into the void step by step.

The next moment, a sound like an eggshell breaking came. Jiang Wen felt a sharp pain between his brows, and his Heavenly Eye suddenly opened.

A golden light shot straight into the sky, instantly piercing through this sacred land. Everyone on the sacred land stared in astonishment at the incredibly thin yet extremely domineering golden light.

Shatter, burst forth.

That was golden light, a light that was everywhere.

Like the rising sun at dawn, it filled the entire formation with a dazzling light.

Just as Jiang Wen was feeling a headache coming on, a figure stood in the golden light.

It slowly emerged from the Heavenly Eye, ascending step by step towards the outside world. Finally, its form grew larger and larger, and a beautiful, naked woman appeared before Jiang Wen.

Her face was breathtakingly beautiful, her body flawless. Even Jiang Wen, a seasoned film enthusiast, couldn't help but marvel at her perfection. Perhaps she was the goddess of every man's dreams, or perhaps she was the embodiment of all beauty he had ever imagined. She was like moonlight and a clear spring, capable of absorbing all the world's affections.

However, although her figure was graceful, she was also as ethereal as silk gauze, appearing and disappearing like an illusion.

The mere manifestation of her in the world was enough to exhaust the woman. The resistance between heaven and earth was greater than she had imagined.

Although she was completely naked, the woman showed no shyness whatsoever.

She stood in front of Jiang Wen and glanced at him.

"Is it pretty?" the woman asked expressionlessly.

"Not bad," Jiang Wen praised generously. "Better than the form I took when I transformed."

The woman remained silent, transforming into a figure clad in white. Under Jiang Wen's regretful gaze, she looked at the ginseng fruit suspended in mid-air.

That was what she longed for, and it was also the most precious treasure that could rebuild her physical body.

"Your spirit is currently unstable and needs to recover. I will help you stabilize your spirit first, and then rebuild your physical body," Jiang Wen's words came.

"I beg Your Excellency's assistance."

Jiang Wen nodded and smiled, then took out a single, glistening tear.

He flicked his finger toward Jiang Su, and the teardrop merged into her ethereal body. Then he made a hand gesture and chanted an incantation.

Calming the mind and spirit, divine light bathed the woman.

The originally elusive body gradually solidified, finally settling in front of Jiang Wen.

Although she still floats in the air, she is no longer the same as before.

Sensing the stability of her soul, Jiang Su's eyes softened even more. She and Jiang Wen didn't need to say much; they were one.

Now, with the blessings of the deity, I am fully transformed.

Once everything was settled, Jiang Wen looked at the ginseng fruit and, with a heavy heart, waved his sleeve at Jiang Su.

"Go, the time has come."

Jiang Su bowed to Jiang Wen, then turned and flew towards the ginseng fruit. The two met, and at that moment, spiritual energy surged.

The entire island shook violently, as if an earth dragon were turning over. Birds and beasts took flight in fright, and the jungle was filled with commotion.

Jiang Wen sensed the changes on the island and couldn't help but frown.

He had anticipated that the fusion of ginger and ginseng fruit would cause a commotion, but he hadn't expected it to be this big.

I vaguely sensed that something sinister was emanating from a forbidden area on the island.

"In the end, it still caused trouble," Jiang Wen muttered to himself.

Four flying swords suddenly hovered around him, and his third eye on his forehead flashed. He opened his eyes and looked into the distance, his expression solemn.
