Chapter 2498 - 2496: Each Has Their Cave Heaven (Part 1)
Unpolished jade will not become a useful object.
Long Fei doesn’t spoil his son like Lin Yingying does; when it’s time for him to experience hardship, he must let him face some challenges.
Little Yuanchu was born from the world’s fortune, exceptionally extraordinary.
He lacks nothing at present, except a bit of patience.
This time, as he enters the Saint’s Cave Mansion, being secluded for three to five years will be a good test of his temperament.
The Superior-grade District Cave Mansions, alongside the three Holy Mothers, consist of seven cave mansions.
Wang Xiaoya, beside Long Fei, explained that these seven cave mansions might belong to the seven immortals who served the Sage of the Sect of Severance.
These seven are likewise not of the Human Race; they all achieved immortality in their demon forms.
The first cave mansion has also opened into a small world, a vast lake of gathered Spiritual Water.
The lake is enormous, with an island in the center.
On the island, there stands a Town-abode Stone, on which are engraved the three large characters "Mastiff Fish Island".
Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya walked over the lake surface via a green Lotus Dais. Cave mansion restrictions surged towards them, stirring up a storm of destruction outside the green lotus light.
If an ordinary person were here, they would have been torn to pieces by this storm.
But with the protection of the Chaos Lotus Platform, no laws have any effect.
Beneath the lake surface, there are alien creatures.
They each peeked their heads out, revealing ferocious teeth.
Their heads resemble dragons, but their bodies are golden fish-like.
After arriving on the island, Wang Xiaoya glanced at the lake surface and Town-abode Stone and exclaimed with a furrowed brow, "Could this be the cave mansion of Seven Immortals Senior Brother Dark Cloud Immortal? He has the mastiff fish physique, which suits the phrase ’Golden Mastiff’."
Long Fei placed his hand on the Town-abode Stone, comprehending the Mystic Patterns within, and soon informed Wang Xiaoya, "It indeed is!"
Wang Xiaoya’s eyes turned red as she said, "This Senior Brother was the kindest; he treated us sisters very well on the island. During the Divine Enthronement, he was hooked to the Western Direction by the Zhunti Sage with the Six Purities Bamboo and is still likely imprisoned there as someone’s pet."
Long Fei comforted her, "Cause and effect cycle; after this great calamity, your senior brother might be safely released!"
Wang Xiaoya nodded, finding only a straw hut on the island.
This Senior Brother was frugal, with not even a decent building or grand hall in his cave mansion.
Long Fei looked at the mastiff fish within and said, "These are all excellent nourishment; how about getting a few?"
Wang Xiaoya waved her hand repeatedly, "This is the bloodline of my senior brother; we can’t do such a thing."
Long Fei chuckled, "Your senior brother kept these mastiff fish likely as a reserve for emergencies. We’ll eat his mastiff fish and later lend him a hand."
Knowing him to be a foodie, Wang Xiaoya did not obstruct, only advising, "Then just take a few."
"Naturally!"
Long Fei nodded, reaching into the lake water and grasping with a large handprint.
With this grab, who knows how many were snatched up; he stored them in the Storage Ring, not daring to let Wang Xiaoya see.
He summoned Ao Jie from afar; Ao Jie was drinking when he suddenly appeared here, his head shaking, back chilled, sweat breaking out on his forehead, disoriented and asking, "Where is this? What do you intend to do?"
After recognizing Long Fei, he quickly bowed, shouting, "Forgive me, Superior Immortal, this little one didn’t know it was you."
Long Fei smiled gently, "No need to be tense; bringing you here is just to grant you an opportunity. After all, your mother’s matter involved us. If we hadn’t led you before, you wouldn’t have encountered that Little Demon. This is karma, unavoidable. Consider this opportunity a repayment of a consequence."
Ao Jie felt touched, surprised that Long Fei kept such things in mind.
For a person as significant as Long Fei, Ao Jie wouldn’t dare to blame him.
Besides, the matter wasn’t Long Fei’s fault; it was really Hong Hai’er, the demon, who was excessively vicious.
He repeatedly expressed thanks, glanced around the lake, and timidly asked, "What is the opportunity?"
Long Fei said, "Comprehend for yourself; the more you comprehend, the more opportunity there is. If you don’t put your heart into it, there won’t be even a trace."
"Disciple understands."
Ao Jie swallowed and nodded earnestly.
Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya left him alone there.
Ao Jie looked baffled, glancing around; apart from this small island, there was only lake surface around.
His talent wasn’t able to provide any insight immediately.
But he understood one thing in his heart; this place is definitely not ordinary.
Spiritual Energy overflowed over the lake surface; the water is not lake water but entirely composed of gathered Spiritual Water.
Even the Dragon Clan didn’t have such luxury to claim an entire spiritual lake as their cave mansion.
Long Fei took Wang Xiaoya into the second cave mansion.
Curiously, Wang Xiaoya asked, "Why is the opportunity of that cave mansion related to that little dragon?"
Long Fei said, "Perhaps related, perhaps not; I just tried. Your senior brother has the mastiff fish body, dragon head fish body, considered with Golden Dragon Blood. The Third Crown Prince is also of Golden Dragon Blood; perhaps it is related to him."
Wang Xiaoya nodded, suddenly feeling a sense of treasure hunting.
Each cave mansion is different, the opportunities within also vary, making it quite anticipated upon entering.
In the past, she never had the chance to enter senior brother or senior sister’s cave mansions.
The cave mansions of Daoist Sects are the most private places for cultivators. Usually, even if there’s an issue, they meet in the outer reception hall, not allowed inside.
The second cave mansion was a vast prairie.
Boundless, with the fragrance of flowers and grass wafting throughout.
This open space showed not a single building.
Wang Xiaoya hesitantly asked, "Which senior brother of mine would favor such a place?"
Long Fei’s spiritual power had already intertwined with the laws within the cave mansion, after comprehending for a while said, "It should be the dojo of Golden Hoop Immortal Ma Sui Immortal."
"Senior Brother Ma Sui?"
Wang Xiaoya frowned slightly, saying, "Could Senior Brother Ma Sui’s form be a horse?"
Her memories were just fragmented; she didn’t know much about this senior brother.
Long Fei contemplated Ma Sui Immortal’s insights into the Heavenly Dao Laws, causing the grasses around them to spin.
Each blade of grass seemed like a circle, suddenly attacking them.
The grass rotated, aiming to entwine their feet.
Some grass even flew up, aiming to entwine their heads and hands.
Wang Xiaoya’s ankles were bound by grass, she lifted her leg quickly in startlement.
The grass was surprisingly formidable; her struggle failed to break free from it.
A burst of Phoenix Flame emerged, scorching the grass with a swipe.
Suddenly, the surrounding grass turned black.
However, when she lit the fire, it seemed to trigger all the restrictions on this prairie.
In an instant, countless grass blades swirled towards her.
Frightened, Wang Xiaoya screamed to Long Fei for help, "Aren’t you going to help?"
Long Fei laughed as he raised a hand, enveloping Wang Xiaoya in green light.
These blades of grass approached, swirled outside the green light, painting circles eerily in the air.
"Golden Hoop Immortal!"
Long Fei stared at the spinning grass, jesting with a smile, "Your senior brother certainly lives up to his name, enjoying playing with bindings!"
"You’re terrible!"
Wang Xiaoya rolled her eyes at him and studied the Mystic Patterns on the grass leaves curiously.
This was a method of restriction law, using any object as a carrier to seal and imprison people.
The title of Golden Hoop Immortal likely originated from this.
