Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World-Chapter 1213 - 536: Escape from the West Continent, Primordial Monarch’s Betrayal (Part 2)
"..."
"What were you about to say to me just now?"
"Nothing!"
Lord Nichang raised her head, gazing at the top of Jianmu, suddenly sighing, "It’s really tall."
Zheng Fa scratched his head, puzzled, "...Are you here for the first time too?"
"..."
Seeing Lord Nichang’s expression, Zheng Fa decided to close his mouth. The two rode the leaves swiftly upward, as if in an awkward silent elevator, both hoping to reach their destination.
Soon, they arrived at the highest point of Jianmu.
Zheng Fa reached out to touch the Heaven and Earth Embryonic Membrane before him, finding it quite wondrous.
"Master Zheng, let me take you out..."
"Wait."
Zheng Fa waved his hand, looking down towards the distant West Continent.
"Wait for what..."
Suddenly, a golden light soared from the ground, an explosion reverberating throughout, even Jianmu shook twice.
"That is..."
"Dead."
"Master Zheng, your avatar?"
Zheng Fa nodded, waited for a few incense sticks, and seeing no change in the Great Vajra Realm, sighed, "I can only get out from here."
He wasn’t sure if Lu Yao knew he wasn’t dead.
Or if Leiyin Temple was weakened, Lu Yao cautious, unwilling to release the realm.
Or perhaps Lu Yao hadn’t reacted yet, waiting a few days, maybe he would take down the realm.
But he couldn’t risk waiting too long.
The two Jile Heavenly Girl would surely not let Lord Nichang go, probably turning around to look for her.
If they came back, this path would be dead, better to gamble.
At worst, just die once, a few hundred years later another hero.
"Let’s go."
Zheng Fa turned to look at Lord Nichang, who seemed not to understand what he was waiting for, silently standing, obedient in compliance.
Lord Nichang cast another spell towards Jianmu, which began to glow, the light gathering beside Zheng Fa, forming a two-person high black flower.
The flower bloomed petal by petal, Lord Nichang said, "Master Zheng, please enter the flower."
Zheng Fa comprehended, stood at the flower’s center, while Lord Nichang stood beside him. The black flower rose with the wind, enveloping the two, drifting upward.
On contact with the Heaven and Earth Embryonic Membrane, a chaotic light flashed on the petals, Zheng Fa paused, lost in thought.
"Master Zheng, what are you thinking?"
"I’m thinking...this thing is kind of like a carrier protein."
"What?"
Zheng Fa shook his head, didn’t explain further to the clueless Lord Nichang, and began pondering.
He used to find the Heaven and Earth Embryonic Membrane difficult to understand, but now suddenly had a thought.
This thing is very much like a cell membrane...
Absorbing spiritual energy stimulated from chaos, expelling chaos generated by mixed spiritual energy, isn’t this metabolism?
As for the black flower produced by Jianmu, an obvious carrier protein vibe.
While Zheng Fa was deeply contemplating, they had easily passed through the cell membrane, arriving in chaos.
He looked back, seeing the Great Vajra Realm on the West Continent still shining brightly, yet he had already escaped, his heart inevitably relaxed slightly.
"Master Zheng, this is the Yaochi Immortal Realm."
So soon?
Zheng Fa turned back, seeing that the so-called Yaochi Immortal Realm was actually attached outside the Heaven and Earth Embryonic Membrane, just that he hadn’t seen it earlier.
The reason was simple, because the Yaochi Immortal Realm and chaos were the same color.
Previously, in space were clusters of chaotic air flows tumbling, beyond that elsewhere, was darkness, nothing at all.
Seeming to have seen his confusion, Lord Nichang’s face conveyed sadness, explaining, "Originally, this place wasn’t like this; we call it an ’Immortal Realm,’ not boasting."
Zheng Fa believed her words.
Just looking at Ni Chang Palace, one would know Lord Nichang loves beauty, or perhaps, the entire Yaochi loves beauty.
Now this Yaochi Immortal Realm might be vastly different from before.
"Can’t return to Xuanwei from here?"
Zheng Fa asked, somewhat unwilling.
"No." Lord Nichang shook her head, expression very honest, "If the Yaochi Immortal Realm hadn’t had issues, I’d have a way, but now I don’t know how to go back."
She seemed a bit afraid Zheng Fa would turn his back, so she spoke up, "If we find Lady Water Mother, she’d certainly have a way to send us back, and my Yaochi will surely offer rich rewards!"
Clearly, she very much wanted Zheng Fa to assist her in finding Water Mother.
Zheng Fa shook his head, looking forward, "Then where do we start looking?"
Lord Nichang shook her head again, expression even more embarrassed.
Zheng Fa stared at the Yaochi Immortal Realm before him, unable to see a thing, no landmarks, unable to discern even up from down, left from right, falling silent.
Seeing his expression, Lord Nichang explained, "I hadn’t thought such an unexpected change would occur, didn’t prepare, that’s why I sought Master Zheng..."
This is too trusting.
Zheng Fa frowned, about to say something, suddenly feeling a vibration from his sleeve.
He opened his sleeve, seeing the Mandarin Duck Treasure Mirror fly out, floating in the void. The mirror surface showed a lone figure, sadly gazing forward.
"This is? Lingxi?"
Lord Nichang was taken aback, recognizing the person in the mirror.
"Yes, Nine Nether Emperor found her True Spirit in the Underworld, but it’s mostly just instincts left."
Lord Nichang looked sadly at Lingxi, speculating, "Is she guiding us?"
Zheng Fa didn’t expect such a twist, feeling a bit lost, but still nodded, "It seems so."
The two exchanged a glance, both thinking they had no options, could only give it a try.
But as Lord Nichang flew a step forward, her expression abruptly changed, returning to the flower, face serious, said, "This place has space-time turbulence...No, it’s filled with space-time turbulence, easy to get lost."
Zheng Fa lifted his gaze to survey the front, seeing within the chaotic air, countless material forming and dissipating.
"If only I specialized in space-time spells..."
Lord Nichang was lamenting, beside her Zheng Fa seemed inspired, turned into a giant Golden Winged Great Peng.
Lord Nichang was silent for a while, turned around, turning her back to Zheng Fa.
Zheng Fa grabbed her with his claws, spread his wings, tearing through the surrounding chaos, breaking through space-time turbulence, flying forward.
He actually knew quite a few transformation forms with Space Power.
But the most familiar is the old acquaintance Golden Winged Great Peng, its wings having innate space divine skills.
...
Following Lingxi True Spirit’s guidance, the two moved forward, Lord Nichang hanging from Zheng Fa’s hand, finding this position silently awkward, complemented, "I didn’t expect Master Zheng your Transformation Technique so marvelous to simulate these divine beasts’ Innate Divine Ability..."
"Still not as good as the original."
Zheng Fa admitted frankly, it’s not modesty, he was indeed simulating and analyzing, while the other was naturally born with it, there’s still a difference.
"It’s strong enough..." Lord Nichang earnestly said, "Maybe a single divine skill has some gap, but the number of divine skills Master Zheng can use, isn’t just one or two."
Seeing her expression, Zheng Fa asked, "Jealous?"
"Master Zheng, who wouldn’t be envious of such Great Divine Power?" Lord Nichang laughed, exceptionally candid, "I dare say even Lu Yao might be coveting."
"Want to learn?"
"..." Lord Nichang seemed not to hear Zheng Fa’s words clearly, paused for a while, then spoke again, "Master Zheng, what did you say?"
"I asked if you want to learn the Earthly Fiend 72 Transformations."
"Of course I want...but..."
"My Jiushan Sect disciples can now learn." Zheng Fa paused, then continued, "Actually, I hope in the future everyone can learn."
"This..."
"If Primordial Monarch joins Jiushan Sect, you can learn it too. Of course, it’s not that simple, first you need to study basic knowledge, then accumulate good deeds, then transfer to the Yellow Court Scripture, cultivate some time, then you can learn the Earthly Fiend 72 Transformations."
What he said wasn’t simple, but the more he said so, the more credible it seemed.
Lord Nichang looked forward, then turned back towards Xuanwei, muttering, "I somehow don’t feel like finding Lady Water Mother anymore..."
