Chapter 241

Jiang Sishui's joy was beyond words.

Because he discovered that although the maximum radius of the Sword Domain was fixed at a hundred zhang, he himself could move while gathering momentum.

As long as their speed wasn't several times faster than his, every single one of them—no exceptions—couldn't escape.

This was simply a nightmare for opponents!

"It's reached Great Completion. From now on, every small step of advancement will require a hundred thousand Martial Arts Experience points…"

"That's too much. I'll level up 'Transformation Art' first."

【Transformation Art (Heavenly Art): Beginner (100/**

This Heavenly Art was different from the "Heavenly Sword Drawing Technique"—before reaching Great Completion, it was all about laying the foundation for the body, preparing it to be able to "transform."

Therefore, it had no obvious effect.

Only after reaching Great Completion could one truly begin to transform.

Take transforming into a dragon, for example—

When he had just reached Great Completion, Jiang Sishui could only dragon-transform one-tenth, and possess one-tenth of a divine dragon's strength.

The further he went, the higher the degree of dragon transformation, and the more dragon power he possessed.

When the Heavenly Art reached Perfection, he would not only be able to fully transform into a dragon and possess all of a divine dragon's strength, but also gain all of a divine dragon's divine abilities!

For example: swallowing clouds and spitting mist, ascending to the heavens and diving into the seas, summoning wind and calling rain, commanding thunder and lightning…

Furthermore, Jiang Sishui could also apply "Transformation Art" to others!

Just like the previous Witch Sovereign of the Rain Clan.

The previous Witch Sovereign did not know "Transformation Art"—the reason she became a Crimson Dragon was Xuyang's doing.

As for why Xuyang did this?

Jiang Sishui didn't ask, but it wasn't hard to guess the reason—most likely to oppose the Azure Dragon Token Master.

Transforming oneself was one thing, but transforming others—this kind of ability was terrifyingly powerful.

If Jiang Sishui turned someone into a pig, a worm, a blade of grass…

Just thinking about it made one's hair stand on end!

Precisely because "Transformation Art" was so wondrous, Jiang Sishui liked it even more than the purely offensive "Heavenly Sword Drawing Technique."

"Strange. 'Transformation Art' is so perverted—logically, its ceiling should be higher than 'Heavenly Sword Drawing Technique.' So why is it actually lower?"

A doubt arose in Jiang Sishui's heart.

Still, he didn't dwell on it too much.

Perhaps once he cultivated to Demigod and his realm arrived, he would naturally understand.

"Sigh, two money-eating giants—Martial Arts Experience isn't enough again."

Jiang Sishui heaved long sighs.

Even so, he was still happy in his heart. He had no mind to cultivate at the moment, so he went out to find Bai Feifei.

He had just seen Zhu Qiqi today, so his interest in Bai Feifei was at its peak.

……

Over the next few days, different women took turns by Jiang Sishui's side as usual, each spending time with him in rotation.

The difference was that these days he also brought along a Zhu Qiqi.

After all, she was new—he had to take a bit more care of her to build the relationship.

Unconsciously, they drew closer and closer to the border of Yu and Jin.

……

Suzhou, Immortal Water Palace.

At dusk, three uninvited guests arrived at this hidden place.

However, when the Immortal Water Palace's guards saw the arrivals, they not only did not stop them, but instead stepped forward one after another to pay respects: "Greetings, Holy Maiden!"

Holy Maiden…

Hearing these two words, Flower Fairy's expression momentarily wavered.

Although her position as Holy Maiden had been temporarily conferred by Immortal Concubine Lümǔ, a Holy Maiden was a Holy Maiden.

And according to palace rules, a Holy Maiden must be pure and untainted.

But ever since that night, she had gone from being a supporter to a violator.

This somewhat ironic fact left Flower Fairy's feelings immensely complicated.

Pulling her thoughts together, Flower Fairy came back to herself and said lightly: "Is the Palace Master in?"

"She is."

"Good. Go, call her out."

"This…"

The guards exchanged glances, not daring to respond.

Call the Palace Master out?

That tone was just like the Emperor summoning a minister…How dare the Holy Maiden speak so boldly?

Wasn't she afraid the Palace Master would blame her?

Such treasonous words—they didn't even dare to pass them along.

Flower Fairy, seeing their expressions, understood their concerns, and so said: "Just tell the Palace Master I've returned, and I'm right outside."

The guards exchanged glances, and one of them accepted the order and left.

Fairy Ji Lümu was a homebody; after returning from Wanzhou, she had stayed in Immortal Water Palace the whole time.

However, she wasn't cultivating — she was studying the red arrow she had obtained from the "Heavenly Sword."

She could sense the red arrow was a treasure, but her knowledge was too limited to know exactly how precious it was.

Jiang Sishui might recognize it; Fairy Ji Lümu had also considered taking it to show him.

But once he saw it, it might be like "throwing a meat bun at a dog — never to return," so Fairy Ji Lümu was naturally unwilling.

So during this past month, she had dug out every ancient text in Immortal Water Palace, checking them one by one.

Unfortunately, she wore out the ancient texts without finding any useful information.

This left Fairy Ji Lümu utterly deflated.

"Am I really going to have to give it to him?" Staring at the red arrow on the table, Fairy Ji Lümu's brows knitted into an unbreakable knot.

Just then, a little maid reported from outside the room: "Reporting to the Palace Master, the Holy Maiden has returned!"

The Holy Maiden?

Hearing this, Fairy Ji Lümu was momentarily stunned before she realized who the Holy Maiden was.

"Flower Fairy? Has she come back to take revenge on me? Can't she even wait?"

A cold glint flashed through Fairy Ji Lümu's eyes.

"Where is she?"

"Right outside the palace."

Fairy Ji Lümu's figure swayed, a black whirlwind sprang up out of thin air, swept her up, and vanished.

"Flower Fairy, you actually dare to come back."

The moment Fairy Ji Lümu appeared, her gaze locked onto Flower Fairy.

"I am the Holy Maiden of Immortal Water Palace, I grew up here from childhood — what is there I wouldn't dare to come back for?" Flower Fairy lifted her chin, showing no fear at all.

Seeing her brazen and fearless manner, Fairy Ji Lümu understood in her heart, and her gaze swept over to the two people beside Flower Fairy.

Two young girls, both with delicate features.

One wore a green blouse, an oval face, skin white as freshly peeled water chestnut, a tiny black mole at the corner of her lips — seven parts pretty, three parts charming, gentle and lovely.

The other wore a blue snow jacket, a tiny face the size of a palm, a head of ear-length short hair, with a cool, quiet temperament.

Fairy Ji Lümu's gaze lingered on the girl in the snow jacket, her eyes narrowing slightly.

To be precise, she was looking at the snow-jacketed girl's pupils.

Blue!

"You are Hou Jian?" Fairy Ji Lümu's expression grew solemn.
