Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
Dharma Aspects come in two types: one is a Root God, the other a Spirit Body.
Inferior Nascent Souls are all Spirit Bodies — for example, some kind of weapon or the like.
Superior Nascent Souls, by contrast, have more concrete Law Power, and therefore manifest a Root God.
Yet regardless of whether it is an Inferior Nascent Soul or a Superior Nascent Soul, even an Extreme Grade Nascent Soul, there is only ever one Dharma Aspect — this is beyond doubt.
Xu Zhangqing swept his gaze around and murmured, "A Dharma Aspect like this... I have six!"
And on top of that, there is a merged "Chaos" Dharma Aspect.
Its tier faintly stands above the Laws themselves.
With strength like this, I reckon a one-on-one fight against a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator would be no problem.
Xu Zhangqing was shaken to the core; it took a good long while before he calmed down.
He thought it over again and again, and decided to still prioritize stability.
Now that he possessed multiple Root God Dharma Aspects, plus a trump card like the Chaos Dharma Aspect that stood above the rules, being too high-profile would easily invite a calamity of death.
Right now he was merely at the Nascent Soul stage, not invincible; keeping a low profile could only help.
With that thought, Xu Zhangqing's mind moved, and he beckoned to his Water Spirit Root Avatar.
Gonggong's whole body flowed with water-light, transforming into a blue streamer that flew straight into his body.
As the Water Spirit Root was unsealed once more, the Creation God behind Xu Zhangqing trembled slightly, and behind the Twenty-Four Solar Terms light wheels encircling it, a gloomy Northern Darkness phantom slowly emerged.
The vortex flowed and intertwined with the vitality of the light wheels, yet did not destroy the original stability.
Xu Zhangqing nodded in satisfaction: "As expected, no major change."
Immediately after, he formed hand seals and cast the Mirage Dragon Transformation from the Nine Transformations of the Wandering Dragon.
As a layer of gray mist enveloped him, the originally Superior Nascent Soul realm, aura, and fluctuations all rapidly converged, finally stabilizing at the Golden Core Perfection realm.
At a glance, he looked no different from an ordinary Golden Core cultivator.
The reason he chose to conceal his cultivation and not announce it publicly for the time being was actually a calculated decision.
First, the situation in the Central Region is currently turbulent; a major event may occur.
Second, the Wu Sheng Chong Mu is secretly watching; rashly revealing himself would make an ambush likely.
Only by keeping a low profile now can he probe the other side's depth.
Xu Zhangqing muttered in a low voice: "The time has not yet come."
He delayed no longer, driving the Thunder Dragon Water-Avoiding Boat toward the Dongting Immortal Sect.
Several days passed, and he could see he was getting closer and closer to home.
"Alright, you lot should head back!"
"I can keep a low profile; you do as you please!"
"Yes, Main Body!"
The several Spirit Root Incarnations nodded in unison.
Xu Zhangqing's mind moved, and he took them into his Personal Space.
Using the Teleportation Array inside the space, Tai Bai went to Jin Guang Cave to continue Artifact Refining.
The female Tu returned to Cangyan Peak to continue researching Spiritual Arrays.
Zhu Rong rushed back to the No-Management Area, still serving as the Wan Family Supreme Elder.
Fenglong was different — he now had a companion Thunder Dragon, so his potential was enormous.
As for the Water Spirit Root Gonggong, for the moment, in order to conceal the Main Body's realm, he could only remain merged.
Once it can be announced publicly in the future, they will be able to separate again, and then each can go about their own business.
After everything was arranged, Xu Zhangqing finally returned to the Immortal Sect, arriving at Hongfeng Valley.
Everything here had not changed much.
It would not become unusual because of the once-in-350-years Qinghua Flowing Radiance, nor would it fall into turmoil just because a Spirit Field Manager was missing.
"Master has returned!"
"Master, you've finally returned!"
Just as he got home, three disciples swarmed around him, chattering excitedly.
Xu Zhangqing asked curiously: "What's going on?"
Sun Shangxiang spoke first: "Master, Madam said these past few days are called the Qinghua Flowing Radiance, and even the Wood Spirit Qi between heaven and earth has grown dense."
Lin Feng nodded in agreement: "Not only that; the Spirit Plants we've cultivated have all risen a grade in quality, from ordinary to superior."
Qingyao asked excitedly: "Master, what is the Qinghua Flowing Radiance?"
They are young; this is the first time they've seen such a situation.
So they are both excited and stirred, their eyes full of thirst for knowledge.
Xu Zhangqing answered at once: "The Qinghua Flowing Radiance appears once every 350 years.
At that time, the Eastern night sky's Canglong Seven Mansions grow brighter day by day, gradually taking on a cyan-green hue, as if a waking Azure Dragon.
Then, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi becomes exceptionally active, especially Wood Spirit Qi, even denser than during a Spiritual Qi Tide.
And some things never seen on ordinary days will appear, such as special Spirit Plants and monsters."
Hearing this, Sun Shangxiang, Lin Feng, and Qingyao seemed to half-understand.
He understood what it meant, yet felt the images in his mind were not clear enough.
Seeing this, Xu Zhangqing raised his hand and waved; the surrounding light dimmed, as if day had suddenly turned to night, then he tapped his index finger a few times, drawing the Canglong Seven Mansions out of thin air.
Then, before the "three little ones," he derived the entire process.
Initially, the seven mansions connected into a single line.
Next, they formed an Azure Dragon phantom.
Finally, they transformed into a piece of extremely pure Yu Bi Tian Gai.
Under the cover of the phenomenon, the Lingti began to grow and undergo transformation.
After watching the entire process, the three Disciples were all stunned.
Xu Zhangqing waved his hand again, everything just now dissipated completely, and everyone returned to daylight; then he smiled lightly and asked: "Do you understand now?"
Sun Shangxiang and the others recovered from their shock and nodded hurriedly: "We understand!"
Xu Zhangqing swept his Divine Sense and discovered Ruo Qunshuang was not at home: "Where is your Teacher?"
Lin Feng hurriedly answered: "Teacher went to see An'an."
Xu Zhangqing smiled: "Fine, you do what you should do; Teacher will rest for a while."
After the greetings ended, he entered the Cultivation Room.
The Jin Fang and Spiritual Array were activated one by one.
After confirming no one would Disturb him, he first entered his Personal Space, then took out the Si Geng Token.
The next second, a Jade Seal appeared in the palm of his Right Hand.
Above was an irregular diamond shape, inlaid with three Spatial Earth Origin Fruits.
Below was a watery blue-purple color; when it swayed, fluctuations could be seen.
And this was the Long Yuan Water Spirit Seal he had not taken out for a long time.
Decades ago, Xu Zhangqing, while exploring Black Dragon Pool, accidentally discovered Lock Dragon Abyss, then found a Liang Gong, and finally discovered it in a piece of ruins.
Previously, the Clam Mirage had said that without Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, one could not go to Tai Xu Lie Yuan.
Now his realm and cultivation had both reached the requirements, so naturally he had to check the situation over there.
"Tai Xu Lie Yuan, Earth Origin Suppresses Territory."
"Dragon Marrow Condensed Crystal, Water Spirit Returns to Chapter."
"Nine-Yuan Star Chart Opens Heaven Road, Three Heads Six Arms Suppresses Eight Wastes."
"Borrow Tai Xu Power from Seal, Spatial Coordinate Reveals Xuan Huang."
Xu Zhangqing chanted softly, and spiritual light immediately lit up on the surface of the Jade Seal; space began to fluctuate.
As the spiritual light flowed, the ground beneath his feet trembled, and streaks of blue patterns spread out, intertwining into a Teleportation Array about a zhang square.
Above the Array Pattern, the phantoms of the three Spatial Earth Origin Fruits and the Jade Seal responded to each other from afar, emitting strong Space Fluctuations; faintly, one could see the dark flowing light in the depths.
Xu Zhangqing gazed for a moment, but had no intention of stepping in.
Tai Xu Lie Yuan was dangerous and unknown; going personally was too risky.
"Xu Zixiao."
"Master!"
"Go make a Trip for me and scout it out."
"As you command!"
Xu Zixiao stepped into the Teleportation Array; a Blue Light Pillar burst forth, completely Wrapping his figure.
In an instant, the Light Pillar suddenly contracted, taking the person above it and Disappearing together!
