Chapter 2499 - 2497: Each Has Their Cave Heaven (Part 2)
Long Fei conjured across the space, awarding the opportunities from the Golden Hoop Immortal Cave Mansion to the Golden Dragon Celestial Venerable who had transformed from a giant golden python.
Destiny differs, and the destiny of the Golden Dragon Celestial Venerable matches best with that of the Golden Hoop Immortal.
People outside already knew Long Fei was preaching here, and the Golden Dragon Celestial Venerable was exceedingly excited upon arrival, kneeling on one knee to pay respects to Long Fei, then began meditating under Long Fei’s instructions.
When Long Fei waited for Wang Xiaoya to finish her insights, he took her away.
Wang Xiaoya curiously asked, "The Golden Hoop Immortal has the bloodline of the Horse Clan, why should it require the Dragon Bloodline?"
Long Fei smiled lightly, "The dragon horse spirit, only the Golden Dragon Celestial Venerable has the chance to acquire this fortune."
"I don’t understand!"
Wang Xiaoya shook her head, following him into a new cave mansion.
This cave mansion opened up a small world, neat and clean, a desolate plain, with just a gourd trellis growing in the middle of the expanse.
On the gourd trellis, a Purple Gold Gourd was growing.
Wang Xiaoya exclaimed in surprise, "Which senior brother planted a gourd here?"
Long Fei, comprehending the laws of the place, introduced to her, "Pilu Immortal, cultivated from a Fairy Reed Root. This gourd should be transformed from his bloodline."
"It must be something good!"
Wang Xiaoya released the Dragon-binding Rope, aiming to pluck the gourd.
The Dragon-binding Rope was a top-notch saint relic, as if a giant dragon coiling toward the gourd.
Before the rope touched the Purple Gold Gourd, the gourd suddenly dove underground, taking the gourd vine with it and disappearing.
Wang Xiaoya looked around anxiously and exclaimed, "Has this guy become a spirit?"
Long Fei chuckled softly, "You scared it!"
He took out a piece of soil of five different colors, scattering it on the ground.
Before long, the gourd emerged from the ground, greedily taking several bites of the five-colored soil, studying Long Fei intently.
It chirped to Long Fei, "Do you have Five-Colored Breath Soil?"
"You have a good eye!"
Long Fei nodded.
The gourd said, "Do you have more? Give me some more to eat!"
Long Fei replied, "I have, but I can’t give it to you."
"Why not?"
The gourd visibly puffed up.
Long Fei said, "The Five-Colored Breath Soil is a rare treasure in the world, I only give it to my servants and family."
"Miser!"
The Purple Gold Gourd expressed dissatisfaction, wiggling toward Long Fei’s head and said, "Then I will be your servant, won’t I?"
Wang Xiaoya laughed secretly to herself, thinking this fellow turns out to be a foodie.
Long Fei lifted his hand and sent forth a drop of fresh blood, commanding it, "Alright, acknowledge me as your master, and I’ll let you eat the Five-Colored Breath Soil."
The gourd essence didn’t expect Long Fei to be so straightforward, but for the sake of the Five-Colored Breath Soil, it went all in, absorbing Long Fei’s blood into its body, imprinting a spiritual imprint in the Divine Sea.
It had already gained sentience, possessing a Divine Sea and its own consciousness.
With a raise of Long Fei’s hand, it gleefully jumped up, eagerly asking, "Where’s the Five-Colored Breath Soil? You better not deceive me!"
"Why would I deceive you?"
Long Fei retrieved a handful of five-colored clay, allowing it a hearty feast.
This material was formed from the first essence of earth elemental force that Long Fei gathered from the world when the Human Realm Heavenly Court continent first formed.
Compared to the Primordial Unity Mother Gold, the Five-Colored Breath Soil is the mother of all earth.
Wang Xiaoya happily patted the foodie’s head, curiously asking it, "Since you have gained sentience, do you know who raised you before?"
The Purple Gold Gourd shook its head, "I don’t know. After I gained sentience, this world was empty, without a soul. There’s a seal here, and I can’t get out, living daily in a muddled cycle of waking to eat, eating to sleep, and waking again to eat."
"Oh dear!"
Wang Xiaoya giggled, "You really are a foodie."
The Purple Gold Gourd chuckled and said to them, "Now that you’ve become my masters, take me with you. The soil essence here has long been devoured by me, and if I stay any longer, I’d starve to death."
"Naturally!"
Long Fei stored it into the storage ring, along with the gourd vine.
Since it hadn’t naturally detached, it proved there was room for growth.
Wang Xiaoya looked around and said, "No wonder my senior brother became Vairocana Buddha of the West, with such a nature disinterested in possessions, he truly suits the Buddhist Sect’s tranquil life."
Long Fei nodded, "Indeed, besides the Spiritual Root of the gourd, there’s nothing else here."
He took Wang Xiaoya and left for the next cave mansion.
This opened small world was a Tai Chi Dojo, void everywhere, except for a high platform in the center.
On the high platform, divided into Yin and Yang, lay the Tai Chi Formation.
Long Fei, with Wang Xiaoya, wielded the Chaos Green Lotus and landed directly in the Tai Chi Formation.
The surrounding Yin Yang Qi rapidly fluctuated, enveloping them like a hurricane, crackling and engulfing them wildly.
The azure light from the Chaos Green Lotus Pedestal swayed like bubbles under the swirl of Yin Yang Qi.
Wang Xiaoya exclaimed, "This is the Tai Chi Formation, and of Jade Isle’s formation mastery, only my senior brother, Qiu Shouxian, could achieve this!"
"It’s his cave mansion!"
Long Fei, seated on the Green Lotus Pedestal, already linked with the mystic patterns of the formation. In a moment, he comprehended its mysteries and dissipated the pressure of the formation with a hand gesture.
The Tai Chi Formation returned to tranquility, and the surrounding Yin Yang Qi also stabilized.
Wang Xiaoya praised, "Who would have thought that despite my senior brother being taken away by Manjushri Bodhisattva, this formation still possesses undiminished mana after so many years."
Long Fei said, "This formation connects with the Yin Yang Qi of Jade Island. As long as Jade Island doesn’t perish, this formation won’t disappear. It’s a pity that your senior’s cultivation level is now reduced to being someone’s mount."
Wang Xiaoya expressed her indignation, "We’ll definitely pay those monks back for this.
Back then, the Sage of the Sect of Severance set up the Immortals Formation.
This formation comprises ten thousand arrays, each disciple mastering a part.
Qiu Shouxian, mastering the Tai Chi Formation, was captured by Manjushri Bodhisattva in the formation and taken to the west to become Manjushri’s mount.
Long Fei patted Wang Xiaoya on the shoulder and took Bald Dog and the Ground Rat Demon King from outside, letting them in.
The two enjoyed studying formations, and the Tai Chi Formation is the ancestor of all arrays.
As the saying goes, Tai Chi gives birth to Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang give birth to the Four Symbols.
All intricate formations evolve from the Tai Chi Formation.
The two fellas were a bit tipsy, excitedly kneeling upon seeing Long Fei, too weak to stand.
Long Fei instructed them, "Comprehend this thoroughly. Without fortune to gain insight, you might never leave this place in your lifetime."
"What!?"
Bald Dog sobered up immediately, ears perked.
The Ground Rat Demon King urgently asked, "Master, isn’t the difficulty a bit too high? This cave mansion forms a world of its own, probably the mansion of a Golden Immortal?"
It knew a bit and realized this cave was extraordinary.
Long Fei ignored them, as he had already left with Wang Xiaoya.
Bald Dog howled inside, "Master, can you leave us? I’m a virgin, you know!"
The Ground Rat Demon King rolled its eyes and taunted, "Didn’t you boast to me about having a fling with an assassin in the human world?"
Bald Dog tapped its head and yelled, "Can’t I play pitiful?"
The Ground Rat Demon King, holding its big belly, sat down and sighed, "Master is gone, might as well seriously comprehend the formation!"
