Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 201 Crossing the River, Origin of the Ruins

"Gululu~"

The water parted, making a slight sound.

The Yin Water Dragon swam and moved, its movements seemingly slow, but its speed was incredibly fast.

In the blink of an eye, they were far away from the waters where the spirit boat had previously shattered and disintegrated, and faint glimmers of spiritual light could be seen behind them.

After being ambushed by the Three Yin Jellyfish, the Azure Cloud Boat disintegrated, and many martial artists and spirits were caught off guard and fell into the Weak Water River, turning into pus.

The same applies to certain Qi cultivators and demons.

However, most of them heeded the advice of the Prince of Jin's heir and prepared spiritual materials, magical artifacts, and spiritual weapons with water and wood attributes.

The ritual was performed before the object fell into the water, achieving an effect similar to skipping stones.

Using their agility and the force of the ascent, they moved swiftly towards the large island ahead.

However, this causes the spiritual energy of the object to be consumed very quickly.

A complete water and wood attribute magic weapon can support twenty or thirty "skipping stones" and is enough to allow a Qi cultivator to advance more than ten miles.

However, materials like precious wood and spiritual metal can only withstand five or six uses before their spiritual essence dissipates and they completely dissolve.

If materials or magical artifacts with magnetic properties are prepared in advance, the number of times the support can be performed will be greater and the speed will be faster.

It can be described as a mini version of the Qingyun Boat.

For example, the Crown Prince of Jin held a precious umbrella in his hand and stood on a miniature magnetic magic artifact that resembled a skateboard.

Propelled by true qi, it glides across the Weak Water River at a considerable speed.

The same was true for Dugu Ba, who was following behind him.

After running for more than ten miles, the two quickly changed to new ones, without losing any speed.

He stood out from the crowd.

However, this requires a lot of depth in the storage bag.

If the prepared supplies are insufficient, the final outcome will also be...

"Help!"

The rabbit demon, who had fought Liu Sheng before, cried out for help, saying it had only prepared three water and wood elemental materials.

After using it a few times, the spiritual materials were exhausted, and the person sought help from those around them.

However, whether it was other monsters or Qi cultivators, they were all too busy taking care of themselves to pay any attention to it.

Even the frost wolf demons who had sworn brotherhood with it, even though they were nearby, ignored it completely.

Finally, the monster let out a mournful cry and fell into the Weak Water, instantly turning into pus.

"Gulu~"

Liu Sheng swung his body, leaving a long trail of water on the surface.

The water churned, making a slight sound.

If he went at full speed, he was confident he could overtake the Prince of Jin ahead of him.

However, he was unfamiliar with the large island ahead and unaware of any dangers it might pose. Rushing up there would be tantamount to acting as a vanguard for the king.

Let's leave this dangerous task to the wealthy Prince of Jin.

Anyway, all he needs is some mango pomelo sago.

If all else fails, you can always steal it!

My neighbor hoards food, and I hoard guns. Is there a problem with that?

In this Weak Water River, my incarnation is enough to go toe-to-toe with Dugu Ba.

not to mention--

[Spiritual Points +27]

[Spiritual Points +25]

[Spiritual Points +29]

……

Since falling into the Weak Water River, these light and shadow texts have been flooding the screen.

Not only has the amount of Spirit Points gained each time increased significantly.

Moreover, the frequency is much faster than before.

The accumulated spiritual points have now exceeded five thousand. With another five thousand, the Yin Water Dragon incarnation can be summoned into reality.

At that time, if he and this incarnation join forces, they might be able to defeat the Prince of Jin and Dugu Ba.

"You... are the eagle demon from before?" At this moment, Abbess Jingyue spoke up. She sat on Liu Sheng's neck as they sped through the Weak Water River.

A chilling, malevolent wind blew in, biting cold and freezing one's very soul.

Fortunately, he eventually achieved great success in his cultivation, though his cultivation level plummeted, his spiritual attainment remained.

He took out a wooden fish from his storage bag, and after offering it up, it emitted a crystal-like Buddhist light that enveloped her, protecting her from harm.

Ants still live in vain, let alone humans?
Even those who cultivate Qi are not immune to worldly customs.

As long as it doesn't cross the line, this old nun can still be flexible.

You owe me two lives!

Liu Sheng moved his eyes and swayed his body, gracefully traversing the water.

He deliberately controlled his speed, following behind the two princes of Jin ahead at a leisurely pace.

This old nun was strong-willed and would rather die than submit, but she was a decent person. She was vegetarian, chanted Buddhist scriptures, followed the rules, and was also familiar with the etiquette of interpersonal relationships.

Whether she admits it or not, the fact remains that Liu Sheng saved her twice.

Whether this favor is useful or not, it must be done first.

We'll make her fulfill her promise once we get to the island.

Of course, if Liu Sheng had mistaken her for someone else, this old woman wouldn't admit it...

Hey!

This Weak Water River wouldn't mind having another clump of pus.

Do you think it's so easy to get away with my debts?

"Amitabha."

Master Jingyue chanted a Buddhist prayer, clasped her hands together, thanked Liu Sheng, and then said:

“Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Although you are a demon, you have no trace of the ferocity of a demon. This shows that you have always been virtuous and kind. I admire you.”

She turned her head and glanced behind her at the figures falling like dumplings into a pot, then turning into pus. Her lips twitched, but in the end she said nothing, only uttering a soft "Amitabha."

That's good. At least they can see the situation clearly and aren't the kind of mindless saints.

A hint of appreciation flashed in Liu Sheng's eyes, and he felt that he hadn't saved the wrong person.

If you encounter some fools who, as soon as they're rescued, start making a scene and using moral blackmail, with slogans like "With great power comes great responsibility" or "To stand by and watch someone die is harmful," to try and coerce or blackmail them...

He has no patience for idle chatter; he'll simply sweep his tail into the water and leave it to its own devices.

So he started by trying to get information out of Abbess Jingyue:

How much do you know about the Qingyuan Cave ruins? When were they first discovered?
Why is it that the heir of the Prince of Jin's mansion knows so much and has made various targeted preparations, while you are completely clueless and at a loss?

"This matter... I don't know much about it either."

Master Jingyue shook her head, recalled for a moment, and slowly said:
"More than twenty years ago, the world underwent a strange change, and the spiritual tide returned..."

First, in some deep mountains and marshes, spiritual mists emerged, strange phenomena arose one after another, and many relics appeared in the world, but no one knew about them.

Occasionally, woodcutters, mountain travelers, merchants, cowherds, and others would accidentally wander inside.

Some survived jumping off cliffs or drowning, while others discovered a golden city deep in the desert…

The methods differed, but they all received good fortune and changed their fate against all odds.

What would ordinary people, who had suffered all kinds of oppression and injustice, or who carried deep-seated hatred, do if they gained powerful military force?

Of course, it's all about settling scores and grudges!

Once the oppressed peasants gain divine favor and their strength increases greatly, they will surely take revenge on the landlords who bullied them.

After the wronged people defied fate and changed their destiny, they naturally wanted to kill all the corrupt officials who colluded with them.

Those who bear deep-seated blood feuds should naturally be killed to their heart's content and their roots wiped out!

However, this would inevitably plunge the world into chaos...

Liu Sheng flicked his tail and suddenly leaped forward more than a hundred feet, seemingly lost in thought.

"Amitabha!"

Master Jingyue chanted a Buddhist prayer and sighed:

"During that period, both the martial arts world and the imperial court were in complete chaos, with countless deaths and injuries."

Later, news of the immortal's destiny at the ruins gradually spread.

After the imperial court and sects learned about and grasped the situation through various channels, the situation gradually stabilized.

But……"
