Chapter 1863 Dao Injury Healed
Xingyaozi looked at him with a complicated expression.
“Fellow Daoist, do you know what this means? The Void Mayfly’s activity has gone deep into the depths of the Tribulation Sea, where the turbulent currents are even more violent. Even a late-stage Golden Immortal cultivator could easily get lost if he is not careful.”
“I know,” Zhang Xuan said. “But Senior Xingyi’s token appeared near the Nine Domains Boundary Membrane. The place where the Void Mayflies are active may be a passage to the Nine Domains Boundary Membrane. If we want to return to the Nine Domains, we still have to get past the Void Mayflies.”
He paused, then said, "Moreover, your esteemed realm has taken us in, used Star Essence to heal our wounds, and treated us with medicinal gardens and hot springs. We cannot fail to repay this kindness."
Xingyaozi gazed at him for a long time before finally nodding: "Good."
That night, Zhang Xuan and Jiao'er were placed in a guesthouse near the Jieyin Hall.
The guesthouse was small, but it was decorated very elegantly.
The walls were decorated with star-patterned wood, the floor was covered with the fur of a sea monster, and an unknown incense burner on the table had a clear and refreshing fragrance that calmed the mind.
What's most remarkable is that a branch of the eighth-order immortal vein connects to the area beneath the guesthouse.
The entire inn was enveloped in a faint Daoist aura, the pure essence emanating from an eighth-order immortal vein, which naturally permeated the body without the need for cultivation.
Zhang Xuan sat cross-legged on the couch, feeling the long-lost sense of abundant resources, and was momentarily dazed.
In the Nine Realms, although they are the supreme rulers, they still have to carefully calculate every single eighth-order Golden Core.
The diminishing effect of a single Golden Elixir means that more pills need to be refined and more spiritual herbs need to be consumed.
In the Starry Sky Ancient Realm, a cup of Star Marrow Brew served to guests has far superior effects compared to an eighth-tier Golden Elixir.
One guesthouse is connected to an eighth-order immortal vein branch.
A garden of medicinal herbs has a history spanning millions of years.
This is what it means to have a profound cultural heritage.
The next day, as expected, a waiter came and led the two to the herbal hot spring.
Yaoyuan Hot Spring is located deep within Lingyao Garden, and is a small pool with a radius of about 100 square meters.
The pool water has a translucent, glassy color, and is crystal clear.
The bottom of the pool was covered with countless spirit crystals, each engraved with intricate Dao runes, faintly forming a sophisticated healing array.
A stone tablet stands by the pond, with only two characters on it: "Zhuodao".
The handwriting is simple and elegant, the strokes are powerful and vigorous, and each stroke contains the weight of a world.
Zhang Xuan stood before the monument, gazing at it for a long time.
He recognized the handwriting.
It wasn't Xingyaozi's, nor any of the elders'.
This is the handwriting of the God-King.
There is an indescribable and inexplicable meaning in those two words.
"Cleanse the path..." Jiao'er murmured, "Cleanse the path, and return it to clarity."
Cleansing channel.
Wash away the dust and reveal your true self.
Just like back then, when Lord Tianlong glanced at the Xuan Turtle God King, he washed away his ignorance and awakened his intelligence.
The two removed their outer robes and stepped into the pool.
The moment the pool water touched his skin, Zhang Xuan felt all 108,000 pores on his body open up at once, and a warm and profound primal power surged out from the magic array at the bottom of the pool, seeping into his body along with the pool water.
The power of the magic array did not forcibly repair the cracks, but rather gently soaked, washed, and cleansed them like water.
He gradually straightened and reshaped the Great Dao rules that had been distorted by the erosion of the sea of calamity at the edge of the crack.
Zhang Xuan closed his eyes, his mind sinking into the ferry.
The sixteen-colored Great Dao ferry, which had been stained with mottled colors due to the corruption of the Nine-Eyed Devouring Beast's inner demon, was gradually regaining its pure glow under the influence of this cleansing power.
The celestial rings shone ever brighter, the terrestrial black belt deepened ever more, and the yin and yang energies at the heart chakra circulated more harmoniously.
He even felt that his understanding of these sixteen great principles had subtly deepened during this cleansing process.
That's not an increase in quantity, but a purification of quality.
Like a piece of raw jade containing impurities, after repeated washing, it finally reveals its purest emerald green color.
I don't know how much time passed.
Zhang Xuan opened his eyes and met Jiao'er's gaze.
Her icy ferry has now regained its former clarity.
The ferry was like a piece of ice that had never melted for millions of years, its entire body shimmering with a cool blue light, its Daoist aura pure and austere, without a trace of being corrupted by inner demons.
Three days later.
Zhang Xuan and Jiao'er's injuries had basically healed, and they returned to the Reception Hall.
Xingyaozi had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw the two arrive, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Although he knew that the hot springs in the medicinal garden had extraordinary effects, he did not expect that the two of them would recover so quickly.
Such a Dao injury would take an ordinary Golden Immortal at least a month to heal.
"The foundations of you two fellow Daoists are far more solid than I expected," Xingyaozi sincerely praised.
Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and said nothing more.
He knew in his heart that his rapid recovery was not only due to the Zhuodao Hot Spring, but also to the profound foundation of his and Jiao'er's Dao.
“Senior, we have said that we are willing to help your realm capture and kill the scourge beasts, but we don’t know…” Zhang Xuan got straight to the point.
Xingyaozi nodded: "This is precisely why I came. Since you two are interested, you can accompany the Sea Patrol Envoy today to familiarize yourselves with the environment of the Calamity Sea and the habits of the Calamity Beasts, however..."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the two of them: "Although your cultivation has recovered, you are still new to the Sea of Tribulation and your understanding of this Great Dao Graveyard is still shallow. I suggest that you start with True Immortal-level Tribulation Beasts and, after accumulating enough experience, then aim for Golden Immortal-level ones."
Zhang Xuan and Jiao'er exchanged a glance, neither of them having any objections.
Although they were eager to find a way back to the Nine Realms, they also understood the principle that haste makes waste.
The Sea of Calamity is far more dangerous than any ordinary battlefield. Rushing in rashly will only lead to repeating the mistakes of Xingyi.
"As you say, senior."
Xingyaozi nodded in satisfaction and beckoned a middle-aged general.
It was the same person who had guided them into the realm three days ago.
"This is Xing Yuan, the third captain of the Starry Sky Guard. He is at the peak of the True Immortal realm and spends his years patrolling and hunting in the Tribulation Sea. He is most familiar with the environment of the Tribulation Sea. Today, he will lead the two of you to the trial."
Xingyuan clasped his hands in a respectful greeting: "Seniors, please follow me."
The three left the Reception Hall and flew towards the edge of the Starry Sky Ancient Realm.
Along the way, Xingyuan gave the two a detailed introduction to the types and habits of the robbing beasts.
"There are many kinds of tribulation beasts. According to their cultivation level, they can be divided into True Immortal level, Golden Immortal level, and Taiyi level. Taiyi level tribulation beasts are extremely rare. It is said that hundreds of thousands of years ago, the God King encountered one and fought it for three hundred years before finally killing it and refining its tribulation core into the Ninth Tower."
Xingyuan spoke calmly, as if recounting an ordinary matter, but Zhang Xuan and Jiao'er were terrified.
Taiyi-level Calamity Beast!
The God-King fought against him for three hundred years!
What level of battle was that?
"Among the True Immortal-level Calamity Beasts, the three most common types are: Thunder Abyss Whale, Burning Sky Spider, and the larva of Void Mayfly."
"The Thunder Abyss Whale is enormous and slow-moving, but it has an extremely wide attack range and is skilled in lightning-based magical abilities."
"The Burning Sky Spider is extremely fast and adept at weaving fire nets. Once trapped, it is extremely difficult to escape."
“The Void Mayfly larvae are the most troublesome. They inherit some of the spacetime talents of the adults and can teleport short distances in the Sea of Calamity, making them extremely difficult to capture.”
“However,” he changed the subject, “our goal today is not these three.”
