Butterfly Lady Caiyi, an Enormous Temptation
As the whirlpool grew larger and larger, hundreds of feet, thousands of feet, tens of thousands of feet... a huge vacuum gradually formed in the center of the lake, and the lake water surged outwards.
Everyone took to the air, and Wu Chu also took the opportunity to retract the Tower Ship to prevent Tower Ship from being carried around in circles by the swirling water.
As everyone rose into the air, the scene at the bottom of the lake appeared before them.
The bottom of the lake, thousands of feet deep, is like a huge crater created by a violent explosion. There are no aquatic plants or silt there, only the hard rock layers below.
The surface of the rock strata looked as if it had been polished smooth by some force, and the light emanated from the bottom of the pit, flickering like a flame.
Houtu casually picked up the towering tree that Hong Yun had pulled over earlier, leaped above the vortex, looked down at the space below which was somewhat distorted by the remaining Great Dao Laws, and casually threw the giant tree down.
The giant tree fell into the vacuum zone at the center of the vortex below, and was instantly shredded into fragments by an invisible force, and then into powder.
Seeing this, Little Moon Spirit and the others, whose cultivation levels were lower, looked at each other in bewilderment.
Wu Chu explained to Little Moon Spirit and the Little Fox, "This is the residual power of the Great Dao Laws. Can you feel that space is a bit distorted?"
Little Moon Spirit nodded slightly, Wu Chu said, "The battle here was at least at the Golden Immortal Realm level, but judging from the remnants of the battle at Purple Jade Mountain, the battle here was obviously more brutal than that at Purple Jade Mountain, probably at least at the Taiyi Realm..."
Hong Yun added, "Although Golden Immortal Realm have comprehended the Great Dao, they cannot leave behind such remnants of the Great Dao Laws during battles. Judging from the lingering aura, those fighting here are at least at the Taiyi Realm Peak, and may even be at the Daluo Initial Realm."
The remaining Great Dao Laws covered an area of over ten thousand feet, and no fish dared to appear there. The light looked like a flickering flame, which was caused by the distortion of space by those remaining Great Dao Laws.
Houtu glanced at the remaining power of the laws, and originally wanted to throw a punch, but after thinking about it, she withdrew her fist and jumped down directly.
Those remnants of the Great Dao Laws, which seemed to distort space itself, didn't even lift a corner of Houtu's clothes, allowing Houtu to fall to the bottom of the pit.
Reaching the bottom of the pit, Houtu casually grabbed the point of light and leaped back. The others exchanged bewildered glances upon seeing the light in her hand.
It was indeed a ball of light, but the light it emitted was not dazzling; it looked as soft as Moonlight. Upon seeing this aura, Wu Chu immediately understood what it was.
Because Wu Chu himself possessed this thing as well; it was an Indestructible Spirit Light.
Even more strangely, a pleading voice came from within the ball of light, "Senior, please don't kill me!"
As the voice faded, a phantom slowly emerged from the ball of light. It was a giant butterfly, hundreds of feet long and adorned with vibrant colors. The butterfly shrank and transformed into a beautiful woman in colorful clothes, bowing to Houtu, Hong Yun, Wu Chu, and the others.
"I am Butterfly Lady Caiyi, the mistress of Heavenly Nether Valley. Unfortunately, I was hunted down by the Qilin Clan, and none of the Butterfly Clan members in the valley survived. Now, only this remnant of Indestructible Spirit Light and a Primordial Spirit remain. I beg you all to show mercy and spare my life..."
The Butterfly Lady Caiyi looked so pitiful that it stirred a sense of pity in those who heard her.
Wu Chu frowned and said, "How could the Qilin Clan be so unwise as to leave you with an Indestructible Spirit Light and a wisp of your Primordial Spirit here to await rebirth? Fellow Daoist, are you trying to deceive us into being foolish?"
The Primordial Spirit and the True Spirit are different. If it is the True Spirit, then it has almost no memories left, while the Primordial Spirit still has some memories.
Upon hearing this, Butterfly Lady began to weep again, saying that she had always been content with her lot, only wanting to live a carefree life in this valley. However, the Qilin Clan had gone too far in bullying her, killing her without a word, slaughtering all her descendants in the valley, leaving her not even a single insect egg, stealing her precious Spirit Root, the Butterfly Fragrance Wood, and even destroying its Primordial Spirit. If it weren't for her cleverness in letting the Indestructible Spirit Light dissipate, allowing her Yu Yuan spirit to merge with the dissipated Indestructible Spirit Light and quietly hide in the water...
Even so, most of its Indestructible Spirit Light was taken away.
The Indestructible Spirit Light can grant immortality to living beings, but it cannot withstand the plunder and annihilation by powerful beings.
Therefore, possessing Indestructible Spirit Light is merely a theoretical concept of immortality.
In fact, even if one possesses Indestructible Spirit Light, encountering an unlucky fellow like Purple Jade Daoist or the Valley Master of Heavenly Nether Valley will still result in death and the annihilation of one's spiritual essence.
The remnants of the Great Dao Laws in the water were clearly her natural protective circle. She gathered the remaining Indestructible Spirit Light and hid within that protective circle.
But to everyone's surprise, they ran into Wu Chu and his group, and Little Moon Spirit saw them too.
In front of Daluo, that so-called protective circle was as thin as paper.
Looking at this faint, Indestructible Spirit Light, both Little Moon Spirit and the Little Fox showed interest. The Little Fox, in particular, had a feeling that the path cultivated by the Butterfly Lady was somewhat related to the Illusion Dao of their Qingqiu Fox.
Wu Chu looked at Little Moon Spirit and the Little Fox, and asked with a smile, "You want it?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Little Moon Spirit and the Little Fox, especially the Butterfly Lady Caiyi, who immediately showed a look of horror. Only then did she realize how incredibly beneficial her current state was to these two little Nüwa.
Little Moon Spirit and the Little Fox only need to refine this Indestructible Spirit Light, and then their cultivation will have a very high chance of naturally entering the Golden Immortal realm.
After all, they had already basically completed their work of comprehending the Five Elements Origin.
Having benefited greatly from following Wu Chu, they are not lacking in various primal powers, but how to evolve the Indestructible Spirit Light is something they need to comprehend on their own.
Wu Chu had already told them about the evolution and generation process of the Indestructible Spirit Light, but it didn't seem to be of much use. Perhaps it's because everyone's understanding of the primordial power is different!
Therefore, everyone's process of evolving and generating the Indestructible Spirit Light is different. Although you can learn from it, you can't copy it exactly.
In other words, there is no fixed procedure for mass-producing Golden Immortal in the process of evolving the Indestructible Spirit Light and advancing to the Golden Immortal.
Refining a ball of Indestructible Spirit Light and then using that Indestructible Spirit Light to deduce the truth in reverse seems to solve the problem.
If they possessed this Indestructible Spirit Light, they could refine it first and then reverse the process to shorten their advancement to Golden Immortal.
Although it's somewhat of a shortcut, it's still a viable method.
Think about it, wouldn't this butterfly be afraid in this situation?
How tempting would that be for Little Moon Spirit and the others?
So, at this moment, both Little Moon Spirit and the Little Fox were a little conflicted.
Should we take it or not?
