Situ Yuelan has already recovered her Spirit Condensation Realm strength!
She slowly contained her aura, withdrew the manifestation of the "Profound Yin Cold Maiden," and returned to her original self. Holding the Bronze Mirror in her hand, she bowed gracefully to the three Immortal Aunts and said, "Situ Yuelan thanks the seniors for their kindness!"
Yuan Li was very pleased and said, "After so many years, I finally see the Profound Yin Cold Sky Light again. You are very good!"
"Situ Yuelan can recover her body today entirely thanks to the help of the three seniors!"
Situ Yuelan, with her sharp and clear mind, also realized that the three Immortal Aunts had helped her because of Immortal Aunt Yuan Li's closeness to her.
She knew in her heart that the cultivation technique she practiced and the origins of the Myriad Laws Sect were tied to Immortal Aunt Yuan Li.
Immortal Aunt Yuan Meng, however, waved her hand, stopping her from bowing further.
A bright light flashed in her hand, and a jade box materialized. With another gesture, the phantom image of a scroll behind her appeared.
The three hundred and sixty-five "Heavenly Cycle Soul Locking Star Nails" flew out from it and landed in the jade box.
Immortal Aunt Yuan Meng reached out and brushed the jade box, causing its glow to extinguish and it to become ordinary. It then flew into the Blue Lotus Monk's hand.
"You take good care of this, and you don't need to do anything else!"
"As long as you keep it on you at all times, it will naturally take effect when the time is right!" Immortal Aunt Yuan Meng said to the Blue Lotus Monk.
The Blue Lotus Monk dared not investigate or ask. He quietly put away the jade box before saying, "Then this humble monk shall take his leave!"
"Go then!"
Immortal Aunt Yuan Meng spoke. Immortal Aunt Yuan Zhen behind her waved her large sleeve, and a gust of celestial wind blew out.
The Blue Lotus Monk, also a cultivator at the Spirit Condensation Realm, could not resist the celestial wind from Immortal Aunt Yuan Zhen and could only be carried away by it.
He didn't know how far he had flown when a clear bell sound suddenly rang out in the celestial wind.
A sense of alarm arose in the Blue Lotus Monk's heart, and faint Buddhist light and the scent of sandalwood emanated from him.
But the bell sound did not diminish; instead, it became more urgent, piercing into his Divine Soul.
The Blue Lotus Monk's Divine Soul froze, and he fell to the ground.
The celestial wind and the bell sound vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.
"Huh?"
The Blue Lotus Monk steadied himself, feeling a moment of confusion.
"What am I doing here? Did I perhaps fall under some evil spell just now?"
He circulated several Buddhist spiritual powers but found no abnormalities. He then transformed into a bright yellow Buddhist light and headed towards his monastery.
In the Vast Mountain Range, Immortal Aunt Yuan Zhen retracted the bell in her hand into her sleeve and said, "Eldest Sister, I have already obscured the Blue Lotus Monk's memory!"
"When the time comes, his memory will be restored, and then the 'Heavenly Cycle Soul Locking Star Nails' in the jade box will be activated, and our great plan will be accomplished!"
The three Immortal Aunts did not hide their actions or words from Chen Ming.
Chen Ming saw and heard everything clearly, thinking to himself, "These three Immortal Aunts are all cultivators at the Spirit Condensation Realm, and that Blue Lotus Monk is also a cultivator at the Spirit Condensation Realm, yet their strength is vastly different!"
"The Blue Lotus Monk was completely powerless against their divine abilities. Truly terrifying!"
A thought of retreat arose in Chen Ming's heart. He secretly circulated his Magical Power to be on guard, fearing that the three Immortal Aunts might also cast spells on him.
However, Chen Ming's movements did not escape the eyes of the three Immortal Aunts.
"Kid, how can you escape our grasp in the Vast Mountain Range!" Immortal Aunt Yuan Li said with a smile.
Seeing that his movements had been discovered, Chen Ming said, "Three seniors, do you have any commands?"
"Oh? You see things quite clearly. How do you know we won't kill you to silence you? You just heard many secrets!" Yuan Li said sternly, putting on a stern face.
"If the seniors intended to kill me, it would be a simple matter. But since I am still standing here, it means the seniors have a use for me." Chen Ming said neither subserviently nor arrogantly.
"What use could a mere cultivator at the Contemplation Realm like you be? It's just that you came with Situ Yuelan, and you helped her gather her body. You have some connection with our Myriad Laws Sect, and the Myriad Laws Sect never harms its friends!"
Yuan Li chuckled, unable to maintain her stern expression.
Chen Ming did not expect this to be the reason. He turned to Situ Yuelan and said, "Thanks to you, Fellow Daoist, I have benefited from your connection."
Situ Yuelan said, "What are you saying, Fellow Daoist Xuan Mingzi? We have kept our promises throughout our journey. Now that I have recovered my body and strength, it is time to fulfill my promise!"
With that, Situ Yuelan touched the Bronze Mirror in her hand, condensing two talismans that fell into Chen Ming's hand.
Chen Ming's Spiritual Sense swept over them; they were the Sacred Sun Fire and Cave True Five Stars Bestow Earth Scripture she had mentioned earlier.
With these two cultivation techniques, he had completed his fire and earth paths, thus possessing the five elements of the void.
Once the Creation Lotus Platform was nourished, his divine abilities could evolve, and the Spirit Condensation Realm would be within reach!
"Alright, the karma between you two has been settled. It's time for you to leave!" Immortal Aunt Yuan Meng said calmly.
Situ Yuelan was greatly surprised, then understood.
The three Immortal Aunts intended to take her away from the Vast Mountain Range to the Myriad Laws Sect in the sea region.
This was a tremendous opportunity!
Situ Yuelan's heart stirred, and she asked, "Seniors, could Fellow Daoist Xuan Mingzi..."
She, however, was thinking of pulling Chen Ming along, to go to the Myriad Laws Sect together.
If they could join the Myriad Laws Sect, that would be an excellent thing. Even if they couldn't, the Myriad Laws Sect had many experts; a few pointers on techniques would save a lot of arduous cultivation.
"I'm bringing you along because the cultivation method you practice was passed down outside the Myriad Laws Sect, and also out of consideration for Yuan Li," Immortal Aunt Yuan Meng said plainly.
But the refusal was very clear. Upon hearing this, Situ Yuelan didn't dare to say more.
Chen Ming hadn't expected that Situ Yuelan, after obtaining this opportunity, would still think of pulling him along. He gave her a grateful look.
He transmitted his voice secretly, "Fellow Daoist Situ, please don't ruin your own opportunity. I have my own inheritance; you don't need to worry!"
Situ Yuelan looked deeply at Chen Ming, her hand holding the Bronze Mirror, and remained silent.
After a long while, she finally said, "Cultivation knows no time. After this parting, who knows when we'll meet again!"
Chen Ming smiled and said, "As long as neither of us perishes, we'll meet again someday!"
"Then, farewell!"
Situ Yuelan turned around and saw Immortal Aunt Yuan Meng's hand flash with bright light as a Treasure Ship flew out, expanding as it met the wind.
Situ Yuelan then boarded the Treasure Ship with the three Immortal Aunts.
That Treasure Ship was a unique Magic Tool of the Myriad Laws Sect, capable of traversing the sea.
The Treasure Ship had been refined with the Myriad Laws Sect's secret techniques, which saved a lot of trouble when traveling across the sea.
The three Immortal Aunts chanted an incantation, and the Treasure Ship emitted a soft glow, about to pass through the Vast Mountain Range and head into the sea.
After traveling for a while, the Treasure Ship suddenly stopped. It turned out that the spiritual veins of the Vast Mountain Range were letting out a mournful cry.
"Sister, when we refined the 'Heavenly Cycle Soul Locking Star Nails' earlier, we damaged the very root of the mountain's spiritual veins. If we ignore it, the entire Vast Mountain Range's Spiritual Energy will diminish and gradually dry up!"
"We've guarded this place for three hundred years. Now that we're leaving, it wouldn't be right to destroy the spiritual veins!"
Immortal Aunt Yuan Zhen frowned slightly, feeling a pang of reluctance.
