Chapter 732: Lotus Lantern - Fusang Wood 1
When the sun came out, the dark clouds completely dissipated, the heavy rain stopped, and the golden light shone on everyone's faces. No one noticed that a piece of coke disappeared on the top of Wuyue Mountain.
When Ruyi regained consciousness again, she was still alive, but unable to move. All the clothes on her body turned to ashes and dissipated in the air. Even her hair and eyebrows were gone. Her whole body was as smooth as a peeled egg, so shiny and slippery.
The wounds on his body should have been healed by the rain after the thunderstorm, but the new divine body was very fragile. There was not a trace of divine power in his body, and his newly grown limbs had no strength at all. Ruyi could only lie motionless at the bottom of an unknown river, transformed into a lonely fish, drifting with the flow of the river.
Fortunately, there were no other creatures in the river except Ruyi, which made Ruyi, who was not wearing any clothes, feel a little more comfortable. After an unknown amount of time, Ruyi woke up again. This time, she was finally able to move. The first thing she did was to take out clothes from the space and put them on.
Ruyi didn't know why she could breathe freely in the water, nor did she know why there was no other living thing in the water except herself. She tried to release her spiritual sense to explore the surroundings, but found that after releasing her spiritual sense, it was as if she was trapped in some non-Newtonian liquid and could not disperse at all.
“There’s something wrong with this river water!”
Ruyi quickly discovered the reason, and then she tried several more times but all failed. Finally, she determined that there was indeed something wrong with the water, or in other words, there was something wrong with the river.
"Weak water?"
For some reason, Ruyi suddenly thought of this name. Sure enough, when she said the word "Ruoshui", the river water around her immediately surged up, and then Ruyi was swept up by the river current and came in front of a woman.
The woman looked at Ruyi in surprise, her eyes full of surprise and love. Seeing Ruyi open his eyes and look at her, the woman smiled gently and asked, "Why are you okay?"
"I don't know." Ruyi knew what the woman meant by asking. Ruoshui, in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, it is recorded that there is water to the north of Kunlun, which is not strong enough to overcome mustard, so it is called Ruoshui. It means water that cannot float anything, not even feathers.
To be honest, Ruyi herself didn't know why she could float in the weak water, so she could only answer that she didn't know.
Fortunately, the woman did not get an answer and did not feel entangled. She just swam around Ruyi happily, obviously very happy about Ruyi's arrival.
"Finally, there's someone I can play with. I'm so happy!"
This woman is Ruoshui itself. Ruoshui is also the water of the Milky Way in this world. Because no living creature can survive in Ruoshui, no one will come to the Milky Way to talk to Ruoshui. Ruoshui has always been trapped alone in the sky.
Now, a Ruyi came from nowhere and was able to survive in Ruoshui like himself. Ruoshui was extremely happy. Ruyi was also relieved to see that Ruoshui had no ill intentions.
Through chatting with Ruoshui, Ruyi learned that this was the world before the Conferred Gods Ceremony began. "Ruoshui, do you know what happened in Heaven recently?"
Ruyi learned from Ruoshui that although she could not leave Ruoshui, because Ruoshui was very long, almost running through the entire Heavenly Palace, she would know anything that happened not far from Ruoshui.
Hearing Ruyi's question, Ruoshui also became interested in sharing, and hurriedly told Ruyi what had happened recently in the Heavenly Palace. The hottest thing in the Heavenly Palace right now was the three-headed dragon stealing the palace-guarding pearl and escaping to the lower world.
"The Jade Emperor sent Yao Ji to the lower world to hunt down the three-headed dragon. They had a fight on my head before. I saw it clearly!"
Three-headed dragon? Yao Ji? Could this be the plot of the prequel to The Lotus Lantern?
"Ruoshui, is the three-headed dragon you mentioned the one that hovers on the jade pillar of the Lingxiao Palace? That Yao Ji is the goddess in charge of the Desire Realm, the Yao Ji who is the sister of the Jade Emperor?"
Although Ruyi can no longer remember the plot of "The Legend of the White Snake", she still has some impression of the identities and acquaintance of the parents of the protagonist Erlang Shen Yang Jian.
Sure enough, after hearing Ruyi's question, Ruoshui nodded, "Yes, Ruyi, do you know them too?"
"No, I don't know him, but I've heard of him." Ruyi shook her head.
Ruyi has no interest in the plot of "The Legend of the White Snake", and does not have any good feelings for the characters in it, whether it is the handsome but mentally unfaithful Erlang Shen, or the gods in heaven who seem fair and just but each person and god pays attention to identity and bloodline.
Now the most important thing for Ruyi is to practice in seclusion, and the second most important thing is to find the Fusang tree. Ruyi remembers that there were ten golden crows in "The Legend of the White Snake", and it was recorded in "Classic of Mountains and Seas" that the Fusang sacred tree embraced the crows in its arms, just like the phoenix perched on the wutong tree. The three-legged golden crow is the companion beast of the Fusang tree, so generally where there are golden crows, there will be Fusang trees.
Ruyi had never thought about getting an entire Fusang sacred tree. She felt that with her current level, if she really tried to contract the sacred tree she would either die. She just wanted to secretly get some Fusang wood and use it together with the Moonlight Box to refine the Sun and Moon Shuttle.
Even if it was just a replica of the Sun and Moon Shuttle that could only travel between three worlds, it was enough for Ruyi to use. Ruyi was not greedy at all. She had experienced the consequences of her greed last time. Tang Monk's meat was indeed not so delicious. If she hadn't obtained the energy of heaven and earth from "Dream of Red Mansions" to preserve her heart meridians, let alone breaking through to the god level, she was afraid that she would not even be able to get through the previous stage where her meridians were broken.
Before the retreat, Ruyi and Ruoshui spent a few days together and quickly became good friends. When Ruoshui heard that Ruyi wanted to find a safe and secluded place for retreat, she directly gave Ruyi an uninhabited cave that she had discovered.
"Ruyi, stay in seclusion. I will help you watch over the cave and will never let anyone in heaven find you!"
"Thank you, Ruoshui." I have to say that Ruoshui is really nice, enthusiastic and sincere. In just a few days, Ruyi has already liked her very much.
Ruyi climbed out of the Milky Way and quickly found the uninhabited cave that Ruoshui mentioned. Ruyi entered the cave, made some simple arrangements, and began to practice seriously.
She didn't have any powerful skills, the only thing she knew was to absorb and refine. Ruyi had no way to deal with this, but fortunately, the speed at which she absorbed and refined the spiritual energy between heaven and earth by instinct was not slower than those refining skills. In addition, Ruyi's body itself was a special creation. There was only a large barrier to cultivation and no other restrictions. When she practiced, her cultivation level increased very quickly.
One day in heaven is one year on earth. Ruyi closed his eyes and practiced in seclusion. The absorbed spiritual energy was transformed into divine power as soon as it entered his body, which quickly filled all his meridians and then accumulated in a shallow layer at his dantian.
“The early stage of god level, this speed is really fast!” When Ruyi worked for the Dream-Fulfilling System, he might not be able to make any breakthroughs for decades. Unexpectedly, after getting rid of the Dream-Fulfilling System, after only three worlds, he has reached the early stage of god level, and is only one step away from becoming a saint.
