Chapter 22: The Zhengxin Xianzi in the Little Little Tian Shu

"Who are you? Why are you in my mirror?"

After several exchanges of gazes, the woman's red lips parted slightly, and she spoke first.

She seemed not to understand either, probing for a long while: "Are you the artifact spirit in my mirror?"

Ji You was stunned for a moment.

His thoughts were almost the same when he saw a person here just now, thinking this woman was an artifact spirit, thinking to himself, no wonder so many people risked their lives to sense the Little Little Tian Shu, it turns out there really is a beauty like jade in the book.

But now it seems that this woman also came in for the first time and instead treated him as an artifact spirit.

"You are not an artifact spirit?"

Seeing him stunned, the woman's eyes instantly became vigilant.

Ji You opened his mouth: "I just came too."

"Where did you come from?"

"Meditating in the mountains, I suddenly saw a burst of spiritual light, so I followed it to take a look, and finally arrived here."

Ji You didn't know the woman's identity and also remained vigilant, not revealing too much information.

The reason was very simple: this woman was too good-looking.

Fang Ruoyao could only be called a girl next door, her features exquisite but not atmospheric, which might have something to do with her family background since childhood.

Lu Qingqiu was a proper wealthy young lady, and her appearance was also bright and teeth-white, but her brows and eyes were slightly demonic.

And the woman in front of him was perfect beyond reproach, and her temperament was even more extraordinary.

But Xie Xun's mother said that beautiful women like this are the best at lying and need to be guarded against.

Sure enough, seeing him ask three questions and not knowing anything, the woman narrowed her eyes slightly: "Just now it was just a probe. Actually, I am a fairy who has already ascended, and this is the world I control."

"So that's it. Then may I ask the fairy's name?"

"How can a fairy's name be told to you casually."

"Since this is the world controlled by the fairy, then I must have entered by mistake. Please let me out of your world, fairy."

"Don't tell the fairy what to do."

The woman swept her brows, knowing the man in front of her didn't believe her, so she walked toward the mountain with a pair of snow-white jade feet, curiously looking at the heavenly light here.

Sure enough, beautiful women are the best at lying.

Ji You muttered, watched her walk onto a black stone, and ignored her, instead looking up at the mysteries that were continuously intertwining.

But it was only this instant of staring that a powerful pressure suddenly descended.

In this Heavenly Will that made him dizzy, he instantly fell to the ground.

Then he realized that he was observing the sky with his spiritual sense, and although his cultivation speed was extremely fast, his spiritual sense was still very weak.

Compared to Chu He and Lu Qingqiu, who could take pills to replenish their spiritual sense every day, he actually had no advantage in this regard.

"Profound Understanding..."

"As the name suggests, the focus should be on 'understanding', which means to know and understand."

"To see clearly the evolution of the Heavenly Dao, and then experience, understand, and use it freely."

Ji You thought about what Instructor Cao had told him before, then sat on the ground and began to observe the Heavenly Dao.

But after only a few glances, he found that his spiritual sense was extremely painful, like carving meat and removing bones.

The train of thought was correct, but the power of the Heavenly Dao was not just talk. With his current spiritual sense strength, he couldn't bear much at all.

So he could only observe the Dao intermittently to grit his teeth and persist.

This feeling was like rain falling in the desert, but you didn't have a container to hold the water, so what you could leave and remember was very little.

"Three breaths..."

"Persisting to the limit, I can only persist for three breaths at a time..."

"This intensity of consumption is stronger than spiritual sense flying to the sky..."

After the fourth time, Ji You was panting, kneeling under the desolate void mountain, and the feeling of exhaustion could no longer be eased.

If he persisted, he suspected that his spiritual sense might collapse.

Ji You couldn't help but lie on the stone, resting for a long while, his eyes inadvertently glancing to his right rear.

That red-skirted barefoot girl seemed to have gained some insight, sitting on a flat black mountain rock, with her back to the void mountain, already in meditation.

Since she wasn't an artifact spirit.

Could she be a senior sister from the inner courtyard?

No, she doesn't look like one either.

Because the girl's accent had a southern flavor, similar to the shopkeeper of the Chunhua Post Station.

And as far as he knew, the Seven Great Immortal Sects attached great importance to the new selection place in front of their own doors.

Just like the Chu brothers, they could go to the Profound Origin Immortal Mansion or the Chen Clan, and they could also go to the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, because they were all Northern Immortal Sects.

But they absolutely couldn't go to the Mountain Sea Pavilion, the Dao-Seeking Sect, and the Spirit Sword Mountain.

Ji You stared at her for a long while, and couldn't help but lean closer.

The other party's eyes were too beautiful, and he had previously ignored that the girl's eyelashes were actually so long and curled.

The meditation like a fake sleep made her look pure and innocent, her skin delicate as if it could be broken by a blow.

Looking closely, her exquisite nose was even more three-dimensional and upturned; even a runny nose would look good.

Looking down, the girl was in a cross-legged posture, her snow-white jade feet crystal clear, her rounded toes like pink peach blossoms, small and exquisite, as if they could be held in his hand.

The bandit Ji had seen many beautiful girls before coming to the Azure Cloud World, but none of them could be so vivid and flawless.

"A beauty that topples countries, that's probably about it."

Just at this moment, the girl who called herself a fairy suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes lifting lightly.

Ji You was slightly stunned, only then realizing that he was too immersed, so much so that his inner thoughts became self-talk at that moment.

Between the four eyes meeting, the other party's eyes were still arrogant and cold, but her cold face quietly turned red.

Before he could react, Ji You found that the fairy in front of him suddenly waved her sleeve and swept him away directly.

Spiritual sense has no weight, and a light breeze is a thousand miles away.

When he came back to his senses, he found that the five senses in reality returned, and his ears were full of noisy sounds.

Ji You opened his eyes, and the heavenly light around his body faded away, but there were two streaks of profound light on his forehead, one of which, although not condensed, was already visible.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding disciples couldn't help but gasp in shock.

You must know that it took Chu He ten full days to condense the profound light, and that was the result of swallowing countless pills as assistance and staying up all night without stopping.

But Ji You had already approached Chu He in this Dao-seeking session of less than an hour, so the crowd began to become even more chaotic.

"Young Master Ji, what did you see?"

"Yes, Junior Brother Ji, is there a Great Dao in the Little Little Tian Shu? Can you tell us about it?"

"I heard from inner courtyard disciples before that at the beginning of the eternal nothingness, there was no form in ancient times. The book is a void opening after nothingness, in which there is vastness and emptiness, and ten thousand Daos evolve. Is it true?"

Ji You opened his mouth lightly after a long silence: "I saw a fairy in it."

Hearing this, the surroundings were in an uproar.

The immortals referred to by mortals are cultivators, and the immortals referred to by cultivators are naturally the true immortals after ascension.

But they didn't know that in a certain era, "fairy" was also called a pretty girl.

However, Ban Yangshu, who had observed the Little Little Tian Shu, didn't believe it at all. He had discussed the Dao with many senior and junior brothers after entering the inner courtyard.

Inside the Little Little Tian Shu is an ignorant world that has not yet opened, and at the beginning of the manifestation of the Great Dao, it is a void, so one can seek the Dao accordingly, and there is nothing else.

This Ji You is afraid of hiding his secrets in public and refuses to tell the truth.

At the same time, the news of the heavenly light also began to spread by word of mouth.

"Prince, someone sensed the Little Little Tian Shu just now..."

Inside the Prince Chong's Mansion in Shengjing City, the candlelight was red, and Prince Chong sat in front of the desk, holding the Daoist classics and reading carefully.

He was also a cultivator, but his aptitude was mediocre, and he had stayed in the Middle Realm of Dim Illumination for many years.

In fact, cultivation is indeed very dependent on talent, and one in ten thousand is not an exaggeration, even for princes and generals.

However, anyone with some cultivation can increase their lifespan and ward off evil and disease, so many royal clansmen in the capital are flocking to it.

And just at this moment, the exclamation of the servant in the mansion instantly stirred his nerves.

"Oh?"

Prince Chong raised his eyes upon hearing the sound, turned the screen to the front hall: "Sensing the Little Little Tian Shu so quickly, this Chu family member is truly not an ordinary person."

The servant in the Prince's Mansion was slightly stunned: "How can the Prince be sure it's Young Master Chu?"

"I had people inquire a few days ago. The only one still trying to sense the Little Little Tian Shu in the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan is him. The Chu surname is well-deserved, truly making this Prince sigh in admiration!"

"That Chu He is just born well, but you, Prince, are the one with the true discerning eye!"

Prince Chong was flushed with the flattery, so he ordered the servants to set up a banquet tomorrow, and then picked up his brush, preparing to write the invitation himself.

However, just as he was about to write, Ban Yangshu hurried from Nishan and arrived at the Prince's Mansion.

"Prince, someone sensed the Little Little Tian Shu."

"I already know, is it Chu He?"

"It is... Ji You."

"?"

"Who is Ji You?"

Prince Chong was stunned for a moment, then his eyes gradually widened: "That wild private cultivator...?"

On the other side, on Yong'an Street facing the Nishan Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, countless cultivators gathered in the city also saw the heavenly light just now.

Because the Chu family is very famous in the cultivation world, many people know that he refused the Profound Origin Immortal Mansion and entered the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan.

And seeing the heavenly light so vast tonight, many people guessed that Chu He sensed the Little Little Tian Shu.

But soon, some news flowed out from the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, which was completely different from their guess.

"It is said that the one who sensed the Little Little Tian Shu is not Chu He."

"If it's not Chu He, who else could it be?"

"It's a... wild private cultivator named Ji You."
