Wandering Gods of Day and Night-Chapter 1078 - 418: Deceiving Mountains and Rivers (Part 3)
Zhou Xuan’s aura seemed to be undetectable.
"Oh, Boss Xuan is impressive, such strong perception?"
It wasn’t that Zhou Xuan’s perception was so strong, but that he had mastered the means of the "Dun Jia Art."
The millennia-old Turtle Breath of Dun Jia could be regarded as the strongest magic for "Concealing Aura."
Zhou Xuan applied the state of Turtle Breath to his current concealing aura, thereby meeting the engineer’s requirements.
"Very good, Boss Xuan, not only should your aura be concealed like a stone, but your thoughts too, think of nothing, universal clarity."
This guidance pointed to the back of Zhou Xuan’s hand, he had activated the Kongming Mirror, and in this world few could understand the "Void Realm" like him.
Zhou Xuan ceased all thoughts.
In an instant, he truly became like a stone, his mind void, with only a slight perception remaining.
He didn’t even know how much time had passed outside, only from his faint perception... time seemed to flow for a thousand years, two thousand years... or three thousand years?
He stayed in an incomparably chaotic world, with no wind, no rain,
then, suddenly, he heard a thunderous roar.
"Boom!"
With the thunder, a rain shower flickered and dropped into Zhou Xuan’s heart.
Fresh air irrigated Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan suddenly got up, feeling as if surrounded by a light fog and veil, the mist representing his secret realm, the City God Taoist Temple of Blood Well and Blood Moon; representing the Nuoshen’s will, Black Water, stood silently, flowing.
"Spiritual Union with Heaven, I must have entered this state, the Taoist Temple and Black Water remain, others are unseen, perhaps in this state, I can only perceive ’Universal Spirit.’"
Zhou Xuan spoke to himself.
Also, Teacher Gong just mentioned, people’s range is broad, from ordinary folks, to human world spirit monsters, to Heavenly Dome Gods, are essentially "people," but Heavenly God, Heavenly Venerate, wills, these escape "human" range,
they too are "Spirits" among universal spirits, and within the range sensed by "Spiritual Union with Heaven."
"Black Water, Blood Well, given they are spirits, surely they have thoughts, I can hear them?"
Zhou Xuan came up with a bold idea, to listen to what the "Blood Well" and "Black Water" were saying, thinking.
He immediately lay down, his ear gently touching Black Water’s surface.
Only as Black Water’s ripples washed over Zhou Xuan’s ear, did Zhou Xuan suddenly sense extreme danger.
He seemed to hear the sound of many people drinking water.
The water was sucked into the mouth, with the swallowing sound as the Adam’s apple slid up and down, clearly transmitting over.
Meanwhile, Zhou Xuan just felt his body’s blood being extracted with the "drinking" sound.
"Not drinking water, but my blood."
Zhou Xuan wanted to struggle up from the Black Water, but his limbs were limp, unable to exert any strength.
His life force weakened with the decrease of blood, then came a sharp pain to the back of his head, and the whole person fainted.
...
Zhou Xuan awakened, feeling somewhat dizzy, he rubbed his head, and beside him the engineer promptly asked, "Boss Xuan, are you okay?"
"What happened to me just now?"
"You were really bold just now."
The engineer said, "You sensed the Blood Well, Nuoshen, and dared to lie down to listen."
"The ’Spirits’ of Heavenly Venerate, Heavenly God, will—cannot be heard, cannot be seen, cannot be inquired."
"Otherwise, your consciousness will be infinitely drawn out, becoming part of Heavenly Venerate, Heavenly God, will."
Zhou Xuan heard this, and asked, "How did I wake up then?"
"It was me."
Miss Qiang raised her fist, saying, "I turned into a fist bigger than a mountain, waking you up with a punch, or else you would have become Black Water, Blood Moon by now."
"Can I listen if I perceive the Cloud Deer Mountain Spirit?"
Zhou Xuan asked the engineer.
"Of course you can, how could Cloud Deer Mountain compare with Heavenly Venerate, Heavenly God."
The engineer said, and Miss Qiang complained, "Why didn’t you tell Ah Xuan earlier about something so important?"
"How could I have guessed he’s so bold," the engineer covered his face, saying, "Anyone normal knows not to provoke Heavenly Venerate, Heavenly God, but..."
"Ah Xuan is not normal." Miss Qiang understood the point.
Zhou Xuan stood up, stretched his muscles and bones, confirmed his safety, then headed out of the secret realm.
"Ah Xuan, what are you doing?"
"I’m going to White Deer Mountain, going to trick the White Deer Mountain Spirit, see what evil skill Master Lu Xue did back then at White Deer Mountain Mahayana Temple to resurrect family."
...
As Zhou Xuan walked out of the secret realm, he was still pondering—why was Black Water’s thought to drain the blood from his body?
"Is Shui Zi trying to harm me?"
Zhou Xuan felt it shouldn’t be, as Black Water was part of his secret realm, if it truly wanted to harm him, it would have a thousand, ten thousand chances, no need to hide.
"Cannot figure it out, better not to think."
Zhou Xuan couldn’t sense or listen to Black Water’s inner thoughts again—if he truly did, he feared he’d not be so lucky next time.
He went down to the first floor lobby, where Li Changxun had already returned from bathing.
He and Yun Ziliang were together, discussing which singer’s voice was more moving.
Both a Mountain Ancestor and a Cloud Mountain Man, once prominent figures in Incense Fire Divine Dao, now had become "music fans," just shows how fate works.
"Lao Yun, Li Shanzu."
Zhou Xuan greeted, Yun Ziliang turned like startled, cursing, "Xuanzi, whoever wrote that Can Tongqi is an idiot, wording incoherent,
such person writing manuscript, might as well smash against tofu and die."
Faced with Yun Ziliang’s tirade, Zhou Xuan shrugged, saying, "Lao Yun, didn’t you gain any insight from that Can Tongqi and broke down?"
"..."
Yun Ziliang blushed right away, continued with "study insights" "I only read sage books" and such, making Zhou Xuan laugh heartily.
"Lao Yun, when it comes to finding excuses, you’re unmatched, so many tricks."
Zhou Xuan responded then asked, "Busy right now?"
"Busy." Yun Ziliang said.
"What’s busy?" Zhou Xuan asked.
"Talking about singers with Chang Xun."
"Talking singers doesn’t count as busy, anything else?" Zhou Xuan asked.
"Nothing else."
Zhou Xuan couldn’t help but ridicule, "Just these trivial issues all day, pretending to be so busy, you two, come with me."
"Where to?"
"To Yunlu Mountain." Zhou Xuan spread his arms, making a big gesture, saying, "I want to do something big."
"What’s big!"
"Tricking Yunlu Mountain." Zhou Xuan said.
"..." Yun Ziliang, Li Changxun.
These two elderly first hesitated, then exchanged a glance, followed by bursts of merry laughter.
"Ku, ku, ku."
"Why are you laughing, we’re really going to trick a mountain, our Colorful Play Master’s sixth level art is called ’Spiritual Union with Heaven,’ able to deceive mountains and rivers."
Zhou Xuan said.
"Nonsense."
"Very much nonsense."
Yun Ziliang, Li Changxun sneered.
"Don’t believe? Then follow me, let you see the prowess." Zhou Xuan said seriously.
The two looked closely at Zhou Xuan, sensing he didn’t seem joking, confused whether the Colorful Play Master’s skill was powerful—not to mention its lack of virtue, even capable of tricking a mountain?
"Even coaxing a widow into bed, I find this skill has merit, tricking a mountain?! Doing what, coveting the hard soil of the mountain?"
Li Changxun ridiculed.
"There’s great knowledge, let’s discuss at Yunlu Mountain."
Zhou Xuan said as he was about to Divine Soul Day Trip, just about to set off, then suddenly turned back, "By the way, where is Yunlu Mountain?"
Yun Ziliang, Li Changxun: "..."
"Yunlu Mountain is in Yellow Field Prefecture, you can’t find the way, us explaining won’t help."
Li Changxun whipped up a wind, enveloping him and Yun Ziliang, Yu Feng and away.
"Great Teacher, just follow us."
Zhou Xuan nodded, Divine Soul Day Trip followed, the three rushing to Yellow Field Prefecture thousands of miles away.
Yellow Field Prefecture is famed for the Ancient Tree Golden Bell.
Ancient Tree Golden Bell, is a monitoring magic artifact, once masters exceeding six sticks of incense enter the prefecture, the alarm bell will long ring.
Li Changxun is above nine sticks incense Heavenly Dome Gods, Yun Ziliang is an eight aspiring nine Dragon Seeking Heavenly Master.
As the two entered the prefecture with Zhou Xuan, the golden bell of Yellow Field Prefecture rang like a boiling kettle, wailing continuously, resembling an air raid siren...
