Eternal Life: I Can Control My Essence Qi-Chapter 282 - 206: Celestial Wind Formless, the Divine Palace Reopens (Part 2)

In the Luoxia Mountain Range, the Escape Light comes and goes, no longer presenting the cold and lonely scene of the past.

In the past few years, although the two major camps of Dayu have not gone to war directly, the Celestial Demon Sect, Changbai Sword Sect, and Xu Ling Sect have still been suppressing Fuhai Sect and Luoxia Sect.

If it hadn't been forced, Fuhai Sect wouldn't have moved its mountain gate to the Luoxia Mountain Range, seeking mutual support.

Their dire situation was even known to those far away in the Da Li, like True Yang Ancestor, indicating how grim the circumstances they faced were, and how enormous the pressure was.

The lower members of the two major sects were not clear about the real relationship between the two Golden Core Ancestors, and with the rumors of the Jade Transformation, the relationship became increasingly tense, even hostile towards each other.

But everything changed in the past two months.

Due to the deterrent brought by Zhang Yao, the Celestial Demon Sect had no choice but to huddle together in defense, not daring to suppress anymore, withdrawing all forces and shrinking into the mountain gate.

Without the threat of external enemies, the relationship among the lower members of the two major sects suddenly improved greatly, not exactly harmonious, but getting more amicable day by day.

Of course:

The disciples of the Luoxia Sect also knew who was behind all this and spoke with respect of Elder Qingxu, while the disciples of the Fuhai Sect felt a great sense of pride.

In such an atmosphere, the disciples of the two sects frequently communicated and interacted, coupled with the occasional visits from external cultivators, making the entire Luoxia Mountain Range much more lively than usual.

Until this day, a light red Escape Light shot from the northern horizon.

"Hmm?"

The light red Escape Light stopped, revealing a shapely figure with a veil covering her face.

"Has the situation of the Luoxia Sect become so tense?"

She cast a glance at the Floating Island on the sky above the mountain range, her eyes flickered, immediately extending her Divine Thought and sent a message.

Soon, Fairy Xia Guang came out swiftly in her Escape Light, smiling brightly, evidently very happy:

"Dear sister, you finally came!"

Fairy Xia Guang stepped forward, grabbing her wrist, appearing very intimate, with a slight hint of grievance in her tone:

"You don't know how much I've suffered these past years!"

The veiled woman smiled gently, speaking softly:

"In the messages you sent me, you only mentioned a great crisis faced by you and the Luoxia Sect, but also a tremendous opportunity, asking me to come and help."

"But looking at your expression, there doesn't seem to be much worry, rather you seem quite at ease."

Fairy Xia Guang responded, saying:

"Thanks to my ally Haihe Ancestor who invited a remarkably powerful expert, the Three Evils Daoist and others have restrained themselves somewhat."

She paused here, gesturing:

"Come, let's go inside and talk."

Moments later.

The two entered a picturesque gorge, and after being seated as host and guest, Fairy Xia Guang personally brewed tea before narrating the matters of the Jade Divine Palace.

"I see..."

After listening, the veiled woman's expression shifted slightly:

"Elder Qingxu... I had heard of his infamous reputation when I was far in the Jing Kingdom, known as a merciless God of Slaughter."

"Not really."

Fairy Xia Guang hesitated:

"From my few interactions with him, he seems to be someone who abides by the rules and not too reckless in his actions."

At this point, she looked at the veiled woman in front of her, curiously:

"But you, Sister Feiyin, you said before that you went to the Jing Kingdom to find a herb."

"You've been in the Jing Kingdom for over a hundred years, did you ever get what you wished for?"

"Not yet."

Fairy Feiyin shook her head, seemingly unwilling to elaborate, changing the subject:

"Sister Xia Guang, you invited me here for more support when exploring the Jade Divine Palace, right?"

"However, I have some bad news to share. While crossing the northern Desolate Zone, I faintly sensed another very powerful Magical Power fluctuation, seemingly another Golden Core Ancestor."

"Judging from the direction he crossed the Desolate Zone, he was likely heading to the Celestial Demon Sect's mountain gate..."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Xia Guang's face immediately changed:

"Damn!"

"It seems the pressure Elder Qingxu exerted on the Three Evils Daoist and them was too great, they have also sought external assistance!"

This made her mood somewhat worse.

For years, during their standoff, both sides somewhat understood each other's stance, so she and Haihe Ancestor hadn't acted because they were reluctant to share the secrets of the Jade Divine Palace with others.

After all, inviting someone in is easy, but sending them away is hard. Once the Jade Order is sent out, retrieving it is nearly impossible, and the secret leaking is only a matter of time.

Both major camps were keenly aware of this.

For these years, the Three Evils Daoist and others always maintained a final restraint and forbearance, not only because they couldn't eliminate them due to the mountain gate array they hid in but also fearing they would retaliate fiercely and spread the secret.

However now, with she and Haihe Ancestor bringing in external support, and the Three Evils Daoist and others doing the same, there might be as many as nine people entering the Jade Divine Palace this time.

"This secret can no longer be kept!"

Fairy Xia Guang realized this too, quietly making a decision, suddenly isolating the surroundings before speaking softly:

"Sister Feiyin, I have a favor to ask of you..."

......

Two months later.

Zhang Yao finally ended his seclusion and left his place of cultivation.

After months of arduous cultivation, he had only pushed the progress of the 'Celestial Wind Formless Body' to 11%, demonstrating the difficulty in cultivating Divine Communication Skills.

Such comprehension and cultivation slow down increasingly, and it might take at least seven to ten years to perfect the 'Celestial Wind Formless Body.'

"Qingxu, you finally came out of seclusion!"

Haihe Ancestor's Divine Thought detected Zhang Yao emerging from seclusion, immediately sending a message:

"There are only a few days left until the Jade Divine Palace opens again!"

"Let's go to Fairy Xia Guang's place first, she also invited a new Fellow Daoist to support us, you haven't met yet because you were in seclusion."

"Alright."

Zhang Yao nodded slightly, his Divine Thought responded, and then he drove his Escape Light toward the mountain gate of Luoxia Sect.

Moments later:

In that familiar gorge, Fairy Xia Guang said smilingly:

"Fellow Daoist Qingxu, let me introduce you, this is my dear sister, Fairy Feiyin from Jing Kingdom, whom I mentioned before."

Zhang Yao bowed courteously:

"This humble Daoist Qingxu, greets Fairy Feiyin."

The veiled Fairy Feiyin curtsied gracefully, her voice gentle:

"This humble self greets Elder Qingxu, whose reputation echoes throughout the Southwest and the neighboring Central Plains countries. It is truly a name known far and wide."

"The Fairy jests."

Zhang Yao laughed lightly:

"It's just some past infamous deeds, hardly something that shakes the Southwest."

After exchanging pleasantries, the four took their seats and began discussing matters related to the Jade Divine Palace.

The detailed information about the Jade Divine Palace had already been shared with Zhang Yao by Fairy Xia Guang and Haihe Ancestor.

In brief:

During the initial entry last time, the Golden Core cultivators of Dayu weren't well-prepared, and the furthest to venture was the Three Evils Daoist.

The Three Evils Daoist was the first among many competitors to break through the fifth level and reached the sixth level, also receiving a reward of an Ancient Spiritual Treasure.

However, Fairy Xia Guang, Haihe Ancestor, Bai Hong Sword Immortal, and Elder Yuanxu all failed to break through the fifth level and were eventually expelled from the Jade Divine Palace after exhausting their attempts.

After five years:

Fairy Xia Guang and the others had gained a certain understanding of the checkpoints within the Jade Divine Palace, naturally making sufficient preparations and being confident in achieving the best results.

While discussing, the four Golden Core cultivators not only devised strategies for the known checkpoints but also speculated on the possible designs of subsequent checkpoints, specifically cautioning against adversarial checkpoints.

A few days quickly passed, and it was almost time for the Jade Divine Palace to open.

"Boom!" "Boom!"...

Four streams of Escape Light sped across the sky, traversing thousands of miles, arriving above Feicui Lake.

From afar:

Feicui Lake appeared just like a flawless piece of green jade, but already five streams of Escape Light were hovering above the lake surface.

"Hmm?"

Zhang Yao glanced, revealing a hint of surprise:

"It's him?"

Among these five streams of Escape Light, he unexpectedly spotted a familiar figure!
