The Mysterious Man
As the crowd dispersed, only Chu Xingyun and Shui Qianyue remained at the peak of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.
Shui Qianyue's eyes narrowed slightly as she stared at the black-clothed youth before her. She could not help but feel a ripple in her heart. However, she quickly sighed inwardly and tossed these distracting thoughts to the back of her mind. She said, "Is there anything I can help you with, Master?"
Chu Xingyun naturally noticed the change in Shui Qianyue's expression. However, his expression did not change at all. He went straight to the point and asked, "Have you completely fused with the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, Wu Ling?"
"That's right," Shui Qianyue nodded in response. She did not hide anything.
Then, with a thought, an illusory and mysterious aura emanated from her body. As if it possessed power, it danced and flickered around her body. In the end, it condensed into the silvery figure of a Nine-tailed Celestial Fox.
The aura of this Nine-tailed Celestial Fox was mysterious. It was neither spiritual energy nor life energy. Instead, it was an indescribable and mysterious existence. It seemed to have come from the legendary realm of immortals. It was sacred and inviolable.
Chu Xingyun stared at the scene before him. He did not say anything. However, great waves of emotions surged in the depths of his heart.
The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, Wu Ling. She had inherited the legacy of Sui Luochu and was ranked at the Ninth Grade. Chu Xingyun had personally witnessed the strength of the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, Wu Ling, in the Immortal Lord's palace. She was very powerful and possessed countless incomprehensible methods.
One had to know that the Nine-star Water Lotus, Wu Ling, was an extremely rare growth-type Wu Ling. Her potential was limitless and she could even ascend to the Ninth Grade in the future.
It was also because of this that Luo Lan was able to use such an unfathomable supernatural power to reshape Chu Xingyun's spirit sea, protect the 30,000 weak, women, and children, and even turn their souls into lotus seeds to seal away their last bit of life.
Just now, Chu Xingyun had clearly sensed a trace of the aura of the Nine-tailed Fairy Fox Wu Ling from Shui Qianyue's sword intent. That was why he had asked Shui Qianyue to stay and ask her about it.
"I once told you that the Nine-tailed Immortal Fox, Wu Ling, originated from a supreme Martial Emperor. That Martial Emperor was the ancestor of the Shui Clan. In order to pass down the inheritance to his descendants, he gave the Nine-tailed Immortal Fox, Wu Ling."
Chu Xingyun recalled Sui Luochu's words and slowly said, "Wu Ling, the Nine-tailed Fairy Fox, has countless Inherited Martial Arts. The existence of these Martial Arts is enough to drive countless experts crazy. Once mastered, one can stand at the peak of Martial Arts and look down on the heroes of the world."
"However, although these martial arts are powerful, you have yet to condense your sword intent and your foundation is still shallow. You have yet to come into contact with these inherited martial arts. If you forcefully cultivate them, you will only suffer a backlash and your Spiritual Sea will be on the verge of collapse."
Thump!
At the end, Chu Xingyun's words suddenly became sharp, causing Shui Qianyue's heart to tremble violently. Her eyes widened in surprise and a trace of disbelief appeared on her face.
"When we were at Yanxiang Pass, I noticed that your strength had increased a lot and you were gradually able to control the Nine-tailed Immortal Fox, Wu Ling. However, at the same time, the aura on your body was very unstable and mixed with a trace of Immortal Spiritual Qi. This means that you have forcibly merged with the Nine-tailed Immortal Fox, Wu Ling, and have practiced Inherited Martial Arts. Am I right?"
Chu Xingyun shouted coldly and exuded the demeanor of a strict teacher. This caused Shui Qianyue to tremble even more violently. She lowered her head and said, "I know I have made a mistake. Master, please punish me."
"The way of cultivation has always been about progressing step by step. There is no overnight success. You should know this better than anyone else. You should not have made such a mistake." Chu Xingyun shook his head and turned around. His voice was slightly indifferent as he said, "These few days, go face the cliff and reflect on your mistakes. Furthermore, before you enter the Yin-Yang Realm, you must not forcefully cultivate Inherited Martial Arts!"
"I understand," Shui Qianyue could clearly feel that Chu Xingyun was angry this time and immediately bowed to receive her punishment.
Strangely, she did not leave. Instead, she stood in place and raised her head. Her blue eyes flickered with hesitation as if she wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.
"Is there anything else?" Chu Xingyun asked.
Shui Qianyue took a deep breath. After pondering for a while, she said, "Master, other than the Nine-Tailed Fairy Fox Wu Ling, did the ancestors of the Shui Clan also inherit the Inherited Martial Arts?"
"What do you mean?" Chu Xingyun was stunned and could not help but ask.
"Since a while ago, when I was cultivating, a figure would appear in my mind. That figure was very blurry and I could not see her facial features clearly. However, for some reason, I felt a strong sense of familiarity with her."
"That figure was sometimes solid and sometimes blurry. There was even a tendency for her to completely disappear. At the same time, she seemed to be in great pain and wanted to struggle out of the chaos. However, she was unable to escape and instead sank deeper and deeper."
"This feeling has never appeared before. Ever since I started to fuse with the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Martial Spirit, this feeling gradually appeared. Moreover, it gave birth to a feeling of impatience. This is why I suddenly tried to cultivate Inherited martial arts …"
Shui Qianyue said in annoyance. She didn't know that when she was talking, Chu Xing Yun's pupils suddenly shrank. A look of horror surged out from his face and filled his entire face.
Chu Xing Yun was no stranger to the strange scene described by Shui Qianyue. He had often seen it, but the difference was that he clearly knew the identity of the blurry figure.
The figure was none other than Flowing Water Fragrance!
"Shui Qianyue has merged with the Nine-Tailed Fairy Fox Wu Ling, and Liuxiang has the Nine Frost Absolute Meridians. These two things both came from Senior Shui, so he can vaguely sense them. This point also shows that Liuxiang is indeed in danger!"
Chu Xingyun's face constantly changed, which made Shui Qianyue jump in fright. She paused and was about to speak when suddenly, the aura on Chu Xingyun's body dispersed and his expression became calm again.
"These things are rather complicated. For the time being, I don't know how to answer them. However, no matter what, your foundation is still shallow right now, so you cannot cultivate the Inherited Martial Arts. As for that blurry figure, you don't need to pay too much attention to it, so as to avoid messing up your cultivation." Chu Xingyun did not tell Shui Qianyue the truth. It was too complicated and could not be explained clearly in a short time.
"Right, other than the blurry figure, did you also see a pitch-black and mysterious cave? It was filled with cold air and there was no sign of human habitation. However, it often gave off a strand of weak life force and the aura of a woman." Chu Xingyun frowned. This question had troubled him for a long time.
Shui Qianyue pondered for a moment and shook her head. "Other than the blurry figure, I have never seen anything else. There was no weak life force or aura of a woman."
Hearing this, Chu Xingyun's face was filled with disappointment.
Shui Qianyue could perceive the predicament that Shui Liu Xiang was facing. There was some kind of resonance between the two. In other words, that pitch-black and mysterious ice cave and the strange aura of a woman should not belong to Shui Liu Xiang.
Chu Xingyun was puzzled. Who exactly did that woman's aura belong to? Why did it often appear in his perception?
Puzzlement.
Deep puzzlement!
Chu Xingyun pondered over this question for a long time, but he couldn't come up with an answer. Initially, he thought that this matter might have something to do with Flowing Water Fragrance, but judging from Shui Qianyue's answer, this matter wasn't as simple as it seemed.
"Master!" At this moment, not far away, a hearty voice sounded.
The person who spoke was Ning Lefan.
