Fang Qing left Yangzhou City and flew north.
Though he was in a different world, Fang Qing could still fly.
Within his Bitter Sea, Life Energy flowed ceaselessly. Strands of Divine Light formed an Auspicious Cloud, supporting his body as he traveled north.
It was truly a remarkable thing. The last time Fang Qing had arrived in the Great Tang World, he had merely been an ordinary person. He had only cultivated the Purple Haze Skill for a few days, and before he had even met Yu Wenhua Ji, he had left the Great Tang World with the Longevity Art.
Now that he had returned, his Cultivation Level had already reached the Divine Bridge Realm. In this world, he was practically like an immortal. Flying by controlling Divine Light was something even martial arts grandmasters could not accomplish.
Some martial arts grandmasters had cultivated in this world for fifty or sixty years and still could not control Divine Light to fly, while Fang Qing had only spent a little over two months in the Shrouding the Heavens World before achieving such a feat.
Returning to the Great Tang World once more truly felt like a dream.
A complete transformation—that was how Fang Qing felt.
Yet he restrained the faint pride rising within him and continued flying north.
"What is that?"
"Heavens, someone seems to be flying in the sky!"
"How could that be possible? Our chief has trained in martial arts for more than thirty years and still cannot do such a thing. We must be seeing things!"
"But there really seems to be a streak of Divine Light. There's an immortal standing on it!"
Fang Qing traveled in a straight line atop the Divine Light, so whenever he passed over towns and cities, he immediately shocked countless martial arts experts.
Some martial arts experts widened their eyes and saw only a flash of light streak across the sky. Some thought they had seen wrongly, while others completely trusted their own eyes. Before long, countless rumors spread throughout Jiangnan—tales of an immortal descending to the mortal world to save all under heaven spread far and wide.
Fang Qing remained unmoved and continued controlling the Divine Light northward.
This time, he had brought many bottles of Hundred Herb Liquid, as well as Three Source Stones. He did not need to worry about finding food anywhere; all he had to do was fly onward.
However, when Fang Qing flew over a certain place, curiosity appeared on his face.
"Xiao Zhong, Xiao Ling."
Fang Qing looked into the distance.
It was night, and a Bright Moon hung high in the sky.
On the ground stood a well, and beside it were two youths.
The two youths were not dressed particularly well, but they were in high spirits, with cheerful smiles on their faces.
"We finally escaped! From now on, the world is vast and open for us to roam!"
One of the youths, Kou Zhong, chuckled.
"Yes, we finally escaped."
The other youth, Xu Ziling, nodded.
The two youths leaned against the well. Kou Zhong suddenly bent over to look into it. At that moment, the water at the bottom reflected the Bright Moon hanging high in the sky, and he became entranced.
"Hm? This Moon in the Well seems to have let me grasp something, but it's hard to put into words."
Kou Zhong looked at the moon in the water, and an unfathomable feeling welled up within him. He wanted to seize the principle hidden in that mysterious realm, yet he could not fully grasp it.
"The Moon in the Well?"
Xu Ziling also leaned over to look. The moon was in the well; it truly seemed to carry a peculiar artistic conception.
"Didn't Mother say that every person was self-sufficient? This well is self-sufficient too. I feel that the water inside the well is like the human body's Treasure Vault—it can become anything. Like now, the Bright Moon has been drawn into its depths by this well. It seems real, yet truth and illusion are impossible to distinguish."
"I understand. This should be an extremely powerful mental art. When we fought enemies in the past, we could remain calm at first, but once the fight heated up, we would grit our teeth in fury and forget everything else."
"If we could completely rid ourselves of fear, then no matter how the outside environment changed, our hearts could still become like the water in this well, reflecting every circumstance. That would be an entirely different realm!"
"I really like this feeling—no victory, no defeat; no seeking, no desire; never letting the heart stir. How about we call it our 'Moon in the Well'? This is a mental art we created ourselves!"
As Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at the Moon in the Well, countless thoughts arose in their minds. In the end, they actually created a mental art: Moon in the Well!
"Good, Xiao Zhong, Xiao Ling. You two are truly capable to have created such a mental art."
A streak of light descended from afar, and Fang Qing's figure appeared within it.
Fang Qing stood atop the Auspicious Cloud, smiling as he looked at Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling with deep emotion.
These two truly gave people enormous surprises. The moment they met, Fang Qing witnessed them creating their own martial art. It was nothing short of a miracle.
Moon in the Well.
This was a mental art that used the moon within the well to bring the heart into eternal tranquility, allowing one to reflect every change in the outside world. It prevented one from being affected by any spiritual techniques and enabled one to maintain a state of no victory, no defeat; no seeking, no desire in battle.
That Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had actually created such a mental art was indeed astonishing.
After all, these two had only stepped onto the path of cultivation for two months. They had merely received the two sections of the Longevity Art that Fang Qing had taught them back then, while everything else had been self-taught. Yet today, they had created a mental art like Moon in the Well.
Such talent was truly terrifying. They were geniuses even among Peerless Geniuses.
Fang Qing had also cultivated in the Shrouding the Heavens World for more than two months. Forget creating a mental art—he had not even entertained the thought of creating one. Each day, he mainly studied the Dao Scripture, comprehended several martial arts manuals, consumed Hundred Herb Liquid, and continuously opened up his Bitter Sea.
He truly had never considered creating martial arts or mental arts. Perhaps it was because the Dao Scripture was simply too powerful; there was no need for him to create anything himself.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, on the other hand, did not possess a timeless classic like the Dao Scripture. Their innate conditions were truly lacking, yet through their own temperament and wisdom, they comprehended "Moon in the Well." It was something worthy of praise.
"Brother Fang!"
"It really is you, Brother Fang! My heavens!"
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had just created a mental art and were in high spirits. When they suddenly heard Fang Qing's voice, they immediately looked into the distance and saw a man flying high in the air. It was their beloved Big Brother, Brother Fang!
Disbelief filled both their eyes. They could not believe they had met Brother Fang here, nor could they believe that Brother Fang could now fly.
Even the legendary martial arts grandmasters probably could not do that, right?
Astonishment filled their eyes.
"It's me!"
The Twin Dragons' talent was ridiculously incredible. After cultivating for only a few months, they could create their own supreme art.
