Seeing this,
Xuanqing moved his hand, deciding not to continue speaking.
I understand your compassionate heart, but… you really shouldn’t go into this weak water… if possible, stay far away from this Liusha River!”
As soon as these words fell,
there was a splash-
He jumped back into the river of sand and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
For Xuanqing, Dao Xuan might have a good heart, but after all, he was a disciple of the Shimen, coupled with being the reincarnation of the Golden Cicada, it was best not to have too much interaction.
Rescuing Dao Guang was simply because of his intentions, as he was trying to save him.
“Amitabha!
After chanting the name of the Buddha, Dao Guang knelt down and kowtowed towards the place where Xuanqing had jumped.
It’s worth mentioning that,
He didn’t care about his own life but, as he had a heavy responsibility of fetching the Scriptures, he was not willing to die before he succeeded.
So,
The earlier kowtows were both gratitude for being saved and for having another chance to fetch the Scriptures.
“The Daoist Priest just suggested I should stay away from the Liusha River. I will take his advice.”
Abbot Dao Guang’s eyes were firm.
No matter how long this river of sand was, he believed… he could eventually bypass it as long as he persisted.
Meanwhile,
After Xuanqing ignored the Dao Guang incident,
he sank into the Liusha River.
Following the Qi of the river’s water veins, he moved towards where the Water Qi was strongest.
After wandering for an unknown length of time,
Finally.
He arrived at a deep rut. Here, the density of the weak water was more than a hundred times stronger than on the river’s surface.
Even as he, with his body of Chaos Virtue, felt a hint of the chilling cold—if it had been an ordinary cultivator, they would probably have been eroded by the weak water’s icy chill in an instant.
Xuanqing glanced around and thought.
As for Dao Guang, he had already put him out of his mind. Previously rescuing him was just a whim, he acted accordingly to his heart.
He waved his right hand.
Countless spiritual crystals were taken out of the game backpack and arranged in a certain order, setting up a Five Elements Defense Formation.
Of course.
He didn’t expect this formation to be used to fight enemies, so long as it had some alerting function and could fend off some annoying fish… that would be enough!
“Beginning cultivation!”
Xuanqing crossed his legs and closed his eyes.
Next moment.
Buzzing-
His body emitted bursts of blue light, and the surrounding Water Qi, as if drawn by something, started to gather beside him.
An unknown period of time passed,
and the weak water began to churn, turning the turbid silt somewhat clear.
The focus shifted to Xuanqing sitting cross-legged.
Suddenly,
He opened his eyes, slowly exhaling a mouthful of turbid Qi, which turned into countless bubbles in the weak water and floated to the surface.
“The Five Elements’ Water Qi has entered my body… success!”
“Up next, is to condense the Chaoyuan of the Water Qi!” Xuanqing murmured softly, then began cultivating to condense the Chaoyuan of the Water Qi.
There are Five Qi Chaoyuans, corresponding to the five internal organs.
The saying goes…”Kidney governs water,” and among the Five Qi, the Power of Water Qi Chaoyuan corresponds to the kidneys of the physical body; to condense Water Qi Chaoyuan, it must be done in the kidney.
Buzzing-
Alongside a powerful gravitational pull,
The Qi of the Liusha River visibly converge towards his body at a noticeable speed, finally entering his kidneys.
In this process,
Xuanqing’s understanding of ‘Water’ deepened further. Once he reached a certain level, he could condense the Power of Water Qi Chaoyuan.
Following this,
Time…. passed slowly during the tedious process of cultivating the Chaoyuan Power..
Two years later.
On the shore of the Liusha River.
A thin, dark-skinned monk walked with difficulty along the shore of the Liusha River, using his staff for support.
This monk was Dao Guang.
Since separating from Xuanqing, he had been walking in the direction of the Liusha River, trying to get to the source and bypass this strange river.
However.
After two whole years,
Dao Guang still hadn’t walked out of the range of the Liusha River. Not only that,… he hadn’t even stepped out of the range of the stone stele.
Like a ghost hitting a wall… his journey seemed to be revolving in the same spot.
“So tired… should I give up?”
Dao Guang’s eyes were somewhat scattered. The blistering sun shone on his dark face, a face on the verge of collapsing!
“No… I absolutely cannot give up. I have not yet obtained the Mahayana Buddhism teachings, I can’t fall here!”
I encouraged myself in my heart.
Abbot Dao Guang rallied himself.
He continued to walk in the opposite direction along the Liusha River, determined to cross the river and continue westward no matter what.
Who knows how much time has passed.
Thud-
With weakened legs and an exhausted body, he slipped and fell to the ground, unconscious.
Buzz-
At this moment.
A ripple appeared in the air, like a stone falling into a calm lake, creating ripples.
“Foolish child.. Foolish child-”
The Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, a man-woman figure dressed in a long white robe, holding a Jade Purifying Bottle, slowly stepped out from the ripples in the air.
She came to Abbot Dao Guang’s side.
With a wave of her right hand, she pulled out the willow branches from the Jade Purifying Bottle and waved them over the unconscious Abbot Dao Guang on the ground.
Following that.
She uttered a spell and transformed some dry rations and water on the ground.
After all that.
Bodhisattva Guanyin briefly shimmered, then disappeared again.
After a while.
“Hmm…”
Abbot Dao Guang woke up.
When he saw the inexplicably appearing food and water beside him, he didn’t feel surprised at all.
In fact.
In the past two years, such an occurrence had happened countless times.
Every time he couldn’t hold on, collapsed from hunger, and woke up again, he would find his injuries healed, and there would be food and water next to him.
Just like this.
He had been able to persist for two years.
“Who exactly is it that would save me and provide me with so much food every time I faint?”
Abbot Dao Guang picked up the dry rations skillfully, chewing them while deep in thought.
Of course.
He had thought about this question for two years but had never figured out the answer. Eventually, he could only attribute it to Heaven’s will.
Just as Abbot Dao Guang was pondering the meaning of life.
Suddenly.
Gurgle gurgle-
Gurgle gurgle…
The originally tranquil surface of the Liusha River started to churn, forming huge whirlpools.
“Hiss-”
Abbot Dao Guang was startled, stumbling back a few steps and almost falling to the ground.
The whirlpools in the Liusha River grew larger and larger.
Finally.
They even stirred up waves hundreds of feet high, which ravaged like a tsunami, as if it would devour everything.
“It’s over!”
Abbot Dao Guang’s throat worked, the dry rations in his hand dropped to the ground, and he stood frozen in place.
Just when he thought he was done for, he suddenly realized…
In the murky waves made up of Liusha River water, he vaguely saw a young man in Taoist robes.
Daoist Priest?
This scene.
Instantly reminded Abbot Dao Guang of the eccentric Taoist he met by the Liusha River bank two years ago.
“Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune, so it’s Abbot Dao Guang!”
Xuanqing’s lips slightly curled upwards, his mood very good, he greeted the stupefied Dao Guang on the bank.
After two years of cultivation, he finally succeeded in gathering the Chaoyuan Power in his kidneys, completing the practice of Five Elements Water Qi Converging on the Origin.
This moment.
Xuanqing stepped on the weak water, floating above the Liusha River.
With a single thought.
The numerous weak waters churned, forming a ladder of murky weak water.
Then.
He stepped on the ladder of weak water, and with unhurried steps, he walked step by step from high above the Liusha River to the river bank.
Seeing this.
Abbot Dao Guang was completely astonished, as he looked at Xuanqing, he seemed to be looking at a god.
“Gree… Greetings, Daoist Priest!”
After the faltering greeting.
Suddenly.
A brilliant idea popped up in the Abbot Dao Guang’s mind.
“Daoist Priest… I beg you, could you take me to the other side of the river? I vowed that I will not turn back until I retrieve the true scriptures in this lifetime!”
As soon as he said this.
Hche!
Xuanqing chuckled, then looked up towards the top right corner of the sky, a certain indescribable look in his eyes.
“Abbot Dao Guang…. It’s simple for me to take you there, but… I’m afraid some people might not agree!”
