Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World-Chapter 1237 - 548: Divine Dao System, Qingnv’s Decision
Zheng Fa wasn’t too focused on the Taiyin Fairy and the other two, instead he looked around, trying to find traces of the Evil Water Mother and Rangsui Goddess.
Being sucked into this black hole cage meant they were sharing a room with the Evil Water Mother, definitely not safe.
Luckily, after observing for a while, Zheng Fa discovered that this space was extremely special, like the deep sea, surrounded by immense pressure, as mentioned before, if not for the bronze platform, they would have been crushed to dust.
Under such pressure, no one could move freely, at least not the two associated with Taiyin Fairy.
As for the Evil Water Mother...
Honestly, Zheng Fa couldn’t move or see anything right now, so worrying was futile.
Just as he was pondering what to do next, a moan reached his ears.
Qingnv finally opened her eyes, looking at the three with confusion.
"Where’s the Water Mother? Where are we?" Qingnv paused, then added, "Who hurt me?"
What, why are you looking at me?
Zheng Fa truly felt Qingnv was a bit dimwitted at this moment, still being suspicious under these circumstances.
Taiyin Fairy glanced apologetically at Zheng Fa, and softly said, "Qingnv, Master Zheng saved us!"
"But, he’s not from our Turquoise Pool..."
You could tell Qingnv cared deeply about Turquoise Pool, having a natural trust in its people—this shows how influential the Water Mother was in their hearts.
"It was Rangsui."
"Rangsui? How could she be..." Qingnv’s eyes widened, clearly unable to comprehend.
Taiyin Fairy clearly didn’t intend to bear the pain alone: "And the Water Mother."
"The Water Mother!"
Originally lying on the ground, looking lifeless, Qingnv abruptly sat up, looking at Taiyin Fairy in disbelief.
She turned her head towards Lord Nichang beside her.
Lord Nichang nodded slightly, but it was like a heavy hammer, buzzing Qingnv’s brain.
Taiyin Fairy turned away, not looking at Qingnv, mercilessly recounting what happened after Qingnv fell unconscious:
Zheng Fa’s speculations.
The Water Mother’s ordeal.
The state of the Evil Water Mother.
Qingnv looked as if she was listening to a horror story, her face growing paler.
"The Water Mother, went mad? The Divine Dao Skill...has no future?"
Qingnv murmured, sounded extremely despairing, lacking the slightly wilful girlishness from when Zheng Fa first saw her.
Taiyin Fairy said nothing, this silence was painfully grating to Qingnv.
Lord Nichang also wore a miserable expression.
Zheng Fa could tell that what happened just now was a huge blow to the three—it wasn’t just a physical shock, more so a mental sledgehammer.
They had high hopes and utmost respect for the Water Mother, who now turned into a detestable figure of the Evil God, and their Divine Dao Skill had reached a dead end.
Even though these three were already Dao Fruits, and two others were top-tier Golden Immortals of Xuanwei, they probably found it hard to calm their inner turmoil.
Zheng Fa watched from the side, but dared not say anything.
At that moment, a deep, filled with evil, seductive, and desirous voice came from nowhere.
It was the voice of the Evil Water Mother.
Zheng Fa perked his ears, the Evil Water Mother seemed to be preaching, making his mind waver, illusions reborn, the Yin Yang Jade Pendant in the Sea of Consciousness suddenly lit up, snapping him back.
His mind steadied, but he saw the three women beside him laughing or crying, immortal power erratically stirring, and on their originally flawless faces and necks, tiny flesh sprouts began to grow.
Zheng Fa watched, feeling horrified. Because of her lower cultivation, Lord Nichang was affectedly more, while the two associated with Taiyin were gravely injured, already frazzled by the Water Mother’s affair, now provoked by the Evil Water Mother’s whispers, they started evolving towards the form of an Evil God.
He himself was fine, partly due to the Yin Yang Jade Pendant, and partly because he didn’t cultivate the Divine Dao Skill, so wasn’t deeply affected.
But Zheng Fa couldn’t allow these three to turn into Evil Gods, not to mention they’re together on the bronze platform, truly in the same boat, even if Zheng Fa kicked them out, he’d fear the Evil Water Mother gaining three more helpers.
Zheng Fa frowned, and suddenly inspiration struck him. He established himself with the Golden Crow body on the bronze platform and began preaching the "Yellow Court Scripture".
Zheng Fa, in modern times holding the Daoist Ancestor’s Dao Fruit, naturally had remarkable talent in preaching, and now with devoted preaching, it was truly awe-inspiring.
Initially, the expressions of the three associated with Taiyin Fairy were chaotic and painful, then gradually calmed down, and finally, the small flesh sprouts on their skin slowly retracted.
The Evil Water Mother seemed to sense his interference, her whispering intensified, an echoed magic sound poured into Zheng Fa’s ears.
Zheng Fa’s mind yet again produced illusions. He saw thousands of faces questioning him, mocking him, advocating the Divine Dao Skill and Buddhist Law, persuading him to abandon his "Yellow Court Scripture".
Zheng Fa stabilized his mind, started from the "Talisman Dao Foundation Establishment Method" and continued to the "Inner Scenery Scripture", almost recounting the "Yellow Court Scripture" from start to finish.
Strangely enough, under such circumstances, he felt his understanding of the "Yellow Court Scripture" deepening, this scripture located on his Dao path, amid these voices, was like gold in fierce fire, increasingly refined, each character glowing radiantly.
At first, he simply intended to aid the three associated with Taiyin Fairy.
Later, he himself began to become absorbed.
After a while, the Evil Water Mother’s whispering knew it was futile, and like a recessing tide, it dissipated.
Yet Zheng Fa remained indulged in contemplating the "Yellow Court Scripture", after an unknowable duration, he slowly opened his eyes, his heart still just as bright and joyous.
