Chapter 159: Opportunity in Stillness

Opportunity in Stillness

As for Ruan Ci here, although she was worried about Ruan Rong's safety, she was helpless at this time, and could only wait for the wind and waves to subside here, report to the gate, and see if Sect Master Lin would come to this place in person to search. In her heart, she had to be prepared for Ruan Rong's soul lamp to go out. Although the power of the Remote Mountain Sect's array was extremely strong at this time, and the transmission of news was very inconvenient, it was said that only Qu Qu Tan Yue's Grotto-Heaven incarnation could communicate with the original body freely, but which of the elite disciples who could enter the Cold Rain Marsh didn't have a few trump cards. If Ruan Rong's soul lamp went out, and the luck of the Donghua Sword didn't change at all, True Person Xu would likely send a message to Xu Shaowei, letting her know who the real sword envoy was.

The Xu family had always had doubts about the ownership of the Donghua Sword, and this hand could not be guarded against. Ruan Ci didn't want to be sent to Yanshan at all now, but no matter how she looked at it, Xu Shaowei occupied all the initiative. Even Qu Qu Tan Yue, because the Profound Soul Gate technique was naturally restrained by Yanshan, couldn't steadily win over the joint efforts of Xu Shaowei and Zhong Wuliang if they really turned against each other. As for the response strategy, it was only to act according to circumstances. However, Ruan Ci vaguely felt that the situation would not be so bad, otherwise True Person Wang would not let her come out alone. Although this mentor of hers was poor and stingy, she gave Ruan Ci a feeling of being calculated. Recalling the lecture on the night of the Green Jade Bright Hall, I'm afraid that the treacherous situation at this moment had already been calculated by her beforehand.

Although she was moody and her personality was not stable, she also had a side that could hide her worries. Otherwise, I don't know how much hidden pressure would make her panic all day long. Even if she was passive everywhere at this time, she simply put her heart down and sat in meditation every day. At this time, in the Cold Rain Marsh, messages were received from all sides, and all activities gradually stopped. The surrounding momentum field was as quiet as solidified crystal. Even if she wanted to play and relieve boredom, she couldn't. If she wanted to swallow spiritual power to refine her cultivation, because it would bring disturbance to the momentum field, it was also forbidden. Everyone sat withered all day, without saying a word, letting Golden Core cultivators' divine sense sweep back and forth, searching for abnormalities.

As a cultivator, the first step is to endure loneliness. For cultivators who cannot adapt to long-term closed-door cultivation, this alone is a difficult problem to block the Dao. Although everyone had enough patience, they couldn't cultivate, and just sitting still like this was a great test of character. At this time, the foundation of the Great Sect was seen. Don't look at Mo Shenai who was also a jumping personality on weekdays, but at this time she got up to relax for a while at most every three or four days, and she didn't have the usual monkey appearance.

As for Ruan Ci, they came from the Song Kingdom, and had lived without much fun since childhood, mostly based on endurance. They were used to chanting scriptures in the Rune Shrine, so even if they sat for a long time, it didn't matter. Their brains were either flying in the sky, taking a section of her rich experience as a background, pretending to be another role, trying to formulate a life, pondering the future, or trying to practice the aura-restraining and mortal-transforming technique realized from the Wugou Sect, trying to restrain her breath, relying entirely on her physical body to resist the huge pressure of the surrounding water domain, and further tempering her Dao body.

After enjoying herself like this for a while, the surroundings became more and more peaceful. Since Ruan Ci could sense the Dao rhyme, she had never seen such a quiet environment, especially the Central Continent, where spiritual energy was extremely active. Many miasmas were actually spiritual energy that was too rich, which was born. The essence was spiritual energy that was too rich in a certain characteristic. For mortals and low-tier cultivators, it was miasma, but for high-tier cultivators, perhaps this was the environment that made them feel comfortable.

Because of the Cold Rain Flowers, the Cold Rain Marsh had always been sparsely populated, and it was already a relatively quiet place in the Central Continent, but it still couldn't avoid the traces of cultivators' activities and local monsters and spirit plants. Until this moment, all individuals who could sense spiritual energy in the surroundings were hidden and not sent out, making the momentum field as pure and peaceful as reality, but it was not dead silence, and still hid vigorous vitality. Ruan Ci didn't know it, and also invested in the momentum field. There was no thought in her heart, and she didn't even drive the spiritual energy to operate, just as if she merged with the water marsh, as if she had turned into a giant standing on the ground, lying in the Black Water Domain, looking up at the clear water domain. Whether it was the group of black dots in the Cold Rain Flower field in the far distance, or the divine sense swept over occasionally, they were all in her field of vision, but they had no intersection with her, and even the Zhou You Kun swimming between reality and illusion was just a small fish in her field of vision, swimming away in the distance, scattering countless starlight.

Her gaze cast over, and joy occasionally arose in her heart. The Zhou You Kun seemed to have some induction, looked down, and a hum stirred up rolling waves in the imaginary number, swimming toward her. When she saw it in reality, the Zhou You Kun didn't care about her, but in her mind, it was as obedient and intimate as a raised spirit fish. Ruan Ci stretched out her hand, and it swam past Ruan Ci's fingertips, as if bringing up a trace of water flow, making Ruan Ci's fingertips slightly itchy, but it didn't cause any disturbance to reality.

It dived into the Black Water Domain and played with Ruan Ci for a long time, and finally swam away to other places with reluctance. Before leaving, it slapped its big tail, and a starlight scattered out, following the water flow. The stardust scattered into some mysterious runes and printed toward the distance. Ruan Ci followed and looked, only to see many dense black dots vaguely under the rune, which was a Cold Rain Flower field, where the aura was pregnant, as if it had tied the luck of this marsh to itself. Thinking about it, it was exactly the Cold Rain Flower King.

The moment she saw the Flower King, Ruan Ci's heart shook, and she suddenly withdrew from this broad perspective, as if falling back into her body, feeling a bit lost and dizzy. After a long time, she calmed down. When she opened her eyes, the three people around her didn't notice anything and were still sitting in meditation. Xu Shaowei and Qu Qu Tan Yue were both in divine travel, looking for the traces of the visitors from outside the sky.

Ruan Ci didn't speak to disturb them, just capturing the faint induction in her heart. A thought became more and more firm. When Xu Shaowei woke up from meditation, she said to her, "Senior Sister Xu, I just entered meditation and gained something. At this time, an induction arose in my heart, only feeling that the Cold Rain Flower King is about to be conceived in a flower field in the marsh. This object has an affinity with me, so I want to go and take a look."

Xu Shaowei was a little surprised and frowned, "Junior Sister Ci, you also know the current situation."

At this time, the enemy was in front, and the Sheng Sects joined forces, making everyone stop activities, which naturally included picking Cold Rain Flowers, and it could even be said that they especially could not pick Cold Rain Flowers. This decision naturally made most cultivators entering the marsh very disappointed, but it was only because it was rare for the Sheng Sects to join forces that they had to make do and didn't dare to violate the ban. And this matter was presided over by Qu Qu Tan Yue, and Xu Shaowei's combat power was also a guarantee. These two were both closely related to Ruan Ci. At this time, Ruan Ci suddenly wanted to run to pick the Flower King. Would the two accompany her or not? This trip was bound to stir up ripples in the momentum field, letting other cultivators know, how could their mood not fluctuate a little? Perhaps this short-lived alliance would be stirred up because of this.

Ruan Ci knew the pros and cons, but her personality was just like this. She was not a person who knew the big picture. Since she had made up her mind, she would not retreat because of this. Hearing this, she said, "Senior Sister, you also know my personality. If I want to do something, I must do it. Anyway, at this time, Sister Rong has already fallen into the Dead End of the Dead End with that thing, and the big leak has been poked. As a small wing like me, who cares whether I live or die? You don't need to protect me. I have my own orientation induction. Just let me go by myself. If it's a trap, it's just me who is trapped. You can still preside over the overall situation and won't make mistakes. I won't take the most important divine eye lady. I'll leave her to you. You just remember that if there is a chance, exchange her back for Sister Rong."

Xu Shaowei narrowed her eyes and looked at her inch by inch, and asked Qu Qu Tan Yue, "Young Master Yue, what do you say."

Qu Qu Tan Yue didn't know when he woke up from meditation, looked at Ruan Ci, and said slowly, "Where is your orientation induction?"

Ruan Ci raised her hand and pointed, pointing out a direction in the momentum field. Qu Qu Tan Yue nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and pressed it, saying, "The five people we followed are here, and the distance is still far. If you really want to go, it's good to go and see. It's just that you have to tell me what you sensed and why your determination is so firm, so that I can rest assured."

Ruan Ci didn't want to talk about the Zhou You Kun, so she said, "I just seemed to have fallen into a state of doubt between truth and illusion, merging with the surrounding water domain. My field of vision became extremely broad, and I observed that there was a strange aura pregnant in that flower field, and that aura seemed to be condensing the luck of this place. This feeling is extremely mysterious. I thought it must be the Cold Rain Flower King, and my mentor also exhorted me before I set off that I must take back the Flower King on this trip, but didn't say it must be Sister Rong who got it back. Maybe it's responding to today. I sensed it in stillness, which is my opportunity. It's fine for me to go this time."

Blocking people's opportunities is like blocking people's Dao path, which is the deepest hatred in the cultivation world. Xu Shaowei finally gave in, "If so, I think it shouldn't be the means of Dayu Zhou Tian, but you still have to be careful. It's a pity that Yue Niang is still on the way, otherwise it would be good for her to protect you. Since there is a birth of a luck object there, maybe people from Dayu Zhou Tian will also go to check."

Speaking of which, Qi Yueying also had some luck. She was thrown into the Black Water Domain by the wind and waves, and fell much deeper than Mo Shenai. If it weren't for Zhong Wuliang transforming into a demon and going to the Black Water Domain to sweep, one was to confuse the monsters' minds and make the monsters fall into deep sleep, and the other was to sweep the gloomy place, so as not to let the Dayu Zhou Tian cultivators lurk. She walked through the void and reality as a demon, and could go to any deep water domain. It happened that she found Qi Yueying and did a favor. Otherwise, Qi Yueying would be very difficult to return safely with her own strength. Now she is healing above the Black Water Domain, and is also restricted by the ban, so she cannot come to meet.

When they were calculating, Mo Shenai had also woken up, looked at Ruan Ci a few times, and said, "You don't look like you've been confused by the mind. Humph, I can't see that your state of mind is quieter than mine. You can capture the spiritual machine of heaven and earth in meditation and sense such an opportunity."

With her words, Xu Shaowei naturally had no reason to object, gave her a jade slip, and said, "If someone stops you, just say you were ordered by me to do things."

Ruan Ci arched her hands to say goodbye to the three, turned into a light of escape, and drifted away in the water. She didn't dare to be too fast, so as not to stir up ripples in the water domain. It was already close to the upper water domain, so she had to be careful everywhere. In fact, with Xu Shaowei's cultivation, even if she wanted to accompany and protect, she was unable to do so. This time, she could only go by herself.

For Ruan Ci, although the visitors from outside the sky made this trip seem to have a few more unpredictable dangers, she finally got rid of others and could get a little freedom, and her heart felt relieved and carefree. The light of escape was unhurried, and after three or four hours, it finally disappeared in everyone's induction. Xu Shaowei opened her eyes at this time and hummed lightly, "Visitors from outside the sky have arrived, and the life and death of the sword envoy are unpredictable. Is your little wife not so likable anymore? I've waited for you for so long, and I haven't heard you mention a word about sending your female incarnation to protect her."

Qu Qu Tan Yue's expression didn't change, only saying, "She can go, it's already looking at several relationships, a special case. The relationship between the two of us can only go so far. If I send an incarnation for her, I'm afraid it will disturb the layout and lose the great righteousness."

Xu Shaowei said, "In the past in the South Zhuzhou, you were also by the side when the Ruan woman appeared. At that time, the Ruan woman didn't have a divine sword, and I had always had doubts that I couldn't release. Until today, seeing you, a person who is usually busy with profit, can be so free and unfeeling, and the word 'seeking stability' has never been thought of. I only know that she is really just a sword envoy wing. Chen Jun didn't let me see her that day, nothing more than a fake formation, which was really to protect Junior Sister Rong. It seems that if the sword envoy is really lost here, my Junior Sister Ci will also gradually lose favor with you."

If Ruan Ci is really the sword envoy, with Qu Qu Tan Yue's careful personality, for a favorite, he would send an incarnation to protect her every time he goes out. At this time, he would naturally be more afraid of her having any loss, and would always protect her in the safest place. It is not surprising that Xu Shaowei has this inference.

Mo Shenai looked back and forth at the two, full of innocence. Qu Qu Tan Yue frowned, his tone turned cold, "Fellow Daoist Xu, the great matter of Zhou Tian is in front of us, how can you still pay attention to these children's trivial matters."

Xu Shaowei laughed softly, "Aren't you a person who pays attention to children's trivial matters? Young Master Yue, have you thought clearly in your heart? She went this time, if she encounters visitors from outside the sky, there is absolutely no reason for her to survive. However, for me, her fighting with the visitors can at least stir up spiritual energy, making the Cold Rain Flowers there wither, and also let us anchor the positions of a few more visitors from outside the sky. Therefore, her trip, whether dead or alive, is beneficial to me. For you, it is not so. Is your affection really only worth the price of such a test?"

Qu Qu Tan Yue closed his eyes again, his handsome face was indifferent, and he said indifferently, "You are still testing."

He entered meditation, and his attitude was also clear: no matter how Xu Shaowei tested, he would not cooperate, and naturally would not be angered by those few words of attack. As for Xu Shaowei's suspicion, he didn't care.

Mo Shenai was still not satisfied, smacked her lips, sighed and touched her eyes again. Xu Shaowei looked at her, and didn't reveal the little thought of this woman who was eager to move and wanted to follow Ruan Ci to explore, laughed, "Junior Sister Mo, look, men are all so heartless. You must not be misled by feelings in the future. Even if you want to find a Dao companion, it is best to find a daughter who is deeply affectionate."

Mo Shenai's eyeballs turned, laughed, "Even female cultivators, the higher the cultivation, the more ruthless they are. I think Senior Sister Xu is ruthless to enemies, and ruthless to fellow disciples. Maybe she is even more ruthless to Dao companions—you have your eyes on the Dharma Treasury Order Master, wanting the Yang energy he has refined for many years, but do you know that the Dharma Treasury Order Master wants to achieve the Upper Law Grotto-Heaven, and that Yang energy is also indispensable. If he gives it to you, how can he achieve Grotto-Heaven?"

This sentence made Xu Shaowei's momentum suffer a great setback, and she could only close her mouth and enter meditation. Qu Qu Tan Yue opened his eyes slightly, looked at Mo Shenai with a little surprise. Mo Shenai was still smiling at first, but after a while, she suddenly dropped her eyes, bleeding from seven orifices, and made an extremely terrifying ghost face. Only then was she satisfied, covered her mouth and laughed, and sat down to do withered Zen again.

These three people are naturally closing their eyes and looking inward here, and will not have any extra actions. On the other side, Ruan Ci followed the aura induction in her heart, and went smoothly all the way. Occasionally encountering Golden Core cultivators blocking the way, she took out the jade slip, which was enough to pass the customs. After ten or so days, she saw long aerial roots hanging down, and she had entered the range of the Cold Rain Flower field.

Updated, sorry for keeping everyone waiting. I fell asleep at seven or eight o'clock last night, and woke up at four or five o'clock... This update was written in the morning.

I looked at the comments. Some readers didn't understand why Sister Rong hesitated. Sister Rong's hesitation was not entirely because she didn't want Zhong Sixteen to take the initiative to seek death because of being deceived. Another point was that Zhong Sixteen died, no one protected her, and her own luck was not enough to go back safely. Zhong Sixteen felt that her chance of going back was great, because the sword envoy's luck could turn bad luck into good luck, but she knew she didn't have such strong luck.

I've been reading "Spring Makeup" recently, it's okay, the writing is quite good, but there are a bit too many unnecessary descriptions.

The quietness described here, when I was writing, I thought of the time I went to Antarctica a few years ago. Once, when watching whales in a bay, there were two little whales playing. Our rubber boat agreed that all rubber boats turned off the motors together, and everyone didn't speak, just immersed themselves in the silence with all their heart. During that time, there was only the sound of whales spraying water between heaven and earth. That was the most vibrant silence I have ever experienced in my life, which left a deep impression on me. When writing Cold Rain Marsh, what I thought of was Antarctica~

I'll send red envelopes to everyone in this chapter~
