Rescuing Shuobing at Jueyu Pool

Now that he had thought of the origin of laws and the difference between the Nascent Soul and the physical body, Xiao Hua's mind was greatly opened. Unfortunately, no matter how much Xiao Hua could think, he was now like a tiger fallen into the plains and a dragon trapped in shallow waters. He could only break free from the golden lock and transform into a dragon when the opportunity arose! As for this so-called golden lock, it was truly beyond Xiao Hua's expectations, and it turned out to be a cultivation technique again.

Back when Xiao Hua was on the Xiaoyu Continent, he couldn't cultivate for a long time simply because he couldn't find a cultivation technique. It was only when he was on the Yilin Continent that he saw the endless and strange cultivation techniques of the Daoist school. As for the Immortal Realm, Xiao Hua had never thought that there would be a lack of cultivation techniques. Not to mention that Xu Zhi had given him Thunderous Might first, just from Star Moon Fairy's vague description, Immortals in the Immortal Realm only lacked the best cultivation techniques, never a lack of them.

Xiao Hua never dreamed that he, a supreme being from the mortal world, would lack cultivation techniques after arriving in the Immortal Realm!

Knowing that his opportunity had not yet arrived, Xiao Hua placed his hope on the Immortal Market after the Emanated Thought. For the next ten-odd days, Xiao Hua expanded his search range, looking for strange Immortal Grass and Immortal Fruit within a thousand li, and even some stones that felt good.

It was late at night this day, and White Gazing Moon hung in the sky like a jade plate. Xiao Hua had just snatched a crimson Immortal Grass from a strange Immortal Beast and was in a great mood, urging his body to return to the cave. Suddenly, in the distant night, a faint silver light flashed and disappeared, heading towards Jueyu Pool.

"Huh?" Xiao Hua frowned and wondered, "Why does this silver light look a bit familiar? It's like that female Immortal named Shuobing from that day!"

Xiao Hua had a very good impression of Shuobing, so after a moment's thought, he turned his body and flew towards Jueyu Pool. The Jueyu Pool was even more beautiful at night. Misty water vapor rose several zhang high. Within the water vapor, countless water spirits in their nascent forms without intelligence danced. The moonlight shone on the azure pool water, and the white light and light mist intertwined, creating a dreamlike Minor World.

When Xiao Hua arrived, there was an area several zhang in size in the center of the pool that was not covered by light mist. Wisps of water vapor were rising from the ripples. Even around that area, many swimming fish were startled and were trying their best to escape, clearly indicating that an anomaly had just occurred there.

"Could she have encountered some danger?" Xiao Hua stood before Jueyu Pool and watched for a while, a bad feeling rising in his heart. Then he looked up at the direction of the previous silver light and thought, "If that's the case, then someone must be chasing her from behind. Even if she can use some secret technique, she can't avoid being discovered!"

Thinking this, Xiao Hua looked at the unfathomable pool water and quietly released his spiritual sense. Xiao Hua's spiritual sense could not see the situation within the pool water, but he could feel the surging of the water. Following the flow of the water, Xiao Hua "felt" a cold jade block, no more than a few zhang in size, at the bottom of the pool. Around this jade block, more than ten green fish swam in pairs, "Yin Yang Green Fish?" Xiao Hua smiled slightly, "Is this my unexpected gain?"

As he spoke, Xiao Hua's spiritual sense swept out, sending both the jade block and the dozen green fish into his spatial dimension. Just as Xiao Hua collected the jade block and before he could examine it, a sharp stream of Emanated Thought, like a surging tide, attacked. Xiao Hua had no time to escape and hurriedly activated the Mitian Ring to hide by the edge of the pool.

The Emanated Thought swept into Jueyu Pool, diluting the water vapor above the pool water. Even the unformed water spirits were scared and retreated into the pool. After the Emanated Thought swept past, it rushed straight to another place. After a few breaths, it suddenly turned back, locking onto the entire Jueyu Pool and the area within a few li of the pool. Xiao Hua was within it.

Xiao Hua could tell that these were two Emanated Thoughts no less powerful than Yuanzi's. He couldn't help but feel his heart pounding, not knowing if the Mitian Ring could withstand the probing of the two Emanated Thoughts.

After about half a cup of tea's time, a silver light broke through the air. This silver light was like a hundred pure white jasmine flowers, emerging from the night sky and converging into a female Immortal-shaped silver silhouette. When the silver silhouette appeared, Xiao Hua clearly saw that on the right arm, gray runes surged rapidly, indicating an injury. Behind the female Immortal, the air vibrated, and three-colored sword light of red, yellow, and blue streaked through the sky. Wherever the sword light passed, the moonlight was cut, and the air rippled. When the sword light stopped in the sky, three identical men revealed their hundred-zhang tall figures.

"How is it?" the three men asked simultaneously, their voices overlapping slightly.

"Her aura suddenly disappeared when it reached here. Either she used a secret technique to escape elsewhere, or she's hiding nearby!" The female Immortal's voice was very pleasant, like the clear chirping of a nightingale in the night.

"Did they discover anything?"

"Not yet..." the female Immortal replied again, "I've told them to search to the left and front. If there's anything unusual, I'll know."

"This place is... Jueyu Pool, right?"

"Yes, this pool produces Yin Yang Green Fish. Because the pool water corrodes our Immortal Bodies, Yin Yang Green Fish are very precious in the Immortal Market."

"Let's take a look first..." As the male Immortal spoke, they simultaneously raised their hands and pointed at their eyes. With a "swish," triple lights of red, yellow, and blue emerged from the six eyes of the three male Immortals, falling upon Jueyu Pool.

A moment later, the male Immortals retracted their divine abilities. The female Immortal tentatively asked, "How is it?"

"No good!" The male Immortals still spoke as one, "This pool water is strange. My Shadow Replication Technique cannot penetrate it."

"Then let me..." the female Immortal had just said three words when the male Immortals shook their heads, "You are injured, let me do it!"

Upon hearing this, the female Immortal's tone was somewhat ashamed and angry, "Damn Shuobing, she still has a backup plan..."

"Shh..." the male Immortal quickly stopped her, "Don't mention names!"

"Hmph..." the female Immortal snorted coldly, indignantly saying, "Isn't it just because she has a master with an extraordinary background? What's so great about that?"

The male Immortal said gently, "Precisely because we know she has a master with an extraordinary background, we cannot act directly..."

"It's a pity she escaped from a certain kill. Not only did we fail to capture her, but we were also injured by her. I don't know if she saw through any flaws..."

"Don't worry, don't worry!" the male Immortal said gently, "You and I used Illusion Gold, she absolutely cannot see through any flaws, and perhaps we can even lure her..."

As he said this, yellow light phantoms flew over from a distance like the wind, precisely two humanoid figures similar to the female Immortal.

"How is it?" the male Immortal couldn't help but ask.

"We haven't found her whereabouts, and the Xuan Kong Incense we secretly placed on her has also disappeared here," one of the humanoid figures replied emotionlessly.

"Hmm, I understand. You've worked hard!" The male Immortal nodded, and then the three humanoid figures suddenly flew off in three directions. When they stopped, the male Immortal raised his hand and patted the top of his head. With three loud "boom" sounds, three towering pillars of light shot out from the top of the heads of the three male Immortals, each with a different color.

Immediately, a "whirring" wind sound arose, and a huge vortex condensed at the top of the pillars of light. The Immortal Spiritual Energy that condensed into clouds and mist around Yunmeng Marsh surged into this vortex! Three-colored divine light gradually appeared on the bodies of the three male Immortals. Following that, the three male Immortals simultaneously performed the same Immortal Arts. Hearing the crackling sound, hundreds of crystal threads penetrated into Jueyu Pool.

"Rise..." the three male Immortals roared simultaneously, raising their arms. The ground shook violently, and Jueyu Pool, spanning several hundred li, was actually lifted by the three male Immortals...

The Jueyu Pool water slowly rose in the pure white moonlight, revealing everything within! Xiao Hua, hiding not far away, watched in stunned silence. Only now did he truly understand what the term "Immortal" meant!

However, the azure green pool water had only risen a hundred zhang or so, less than 40% of the pool's depth. With a low "hum," the male Immortal, surrounded by blue light, suddenly swayed, and the pillar of light above his head collapsed with a "boom." Jueyu Pool's water immediately collapsed and fell.

"You..." the female Immortal quickly flew over and said anxiously, "Why are you injured too?"

"It's nothing!" the male Immortal waved his hand, panting slightly, "I was just careless."

As he spoke, the male Immortal's body trembled, and red and yellow lights appeared on his body. The two male Immortals a hundred li away immediately broke through the spatial barrier and appeared beside the male Immortal. As the two light phantoms touched, the three male Immortals merged into one.

"Let me do it then," the female Immortal said after thinking for a moment, "I just looked, and there shouldn't be any foreign objects in the pool water, but it's not impossible that she used a secret technique of the Azure Jade Gate to hide."

"Can you do it?"

"If I can't, I have to!" the female Immortal gritted her teeth and said, "Her life and death are very crucial to us!"

"Perhaps this is her diversionary tactic?" the male Immortal reminded her, "She might use a secret technique to lure us here, and then return herself?"

The female Immortal ignored the male Immortal and flew directly above Jueyu Pool. The two women from before also followed and guarded on the sides. The female Immortal manipulated her Immortal Arts, and the silver light around her surged like boiling water. Countless fist-sized runes rolled out and fell into the female Immortal's Immortal Arts.

With a "rumbling" sound, the female Immortal elegantly spread her arms, and the Immortal Arts landed on herself. A giant jasmine-like phantom emerged from the female Immortal's body, turning into a light phantom and falling into the sky.

The jasmine flowers were about to bloom, crystal clear under the moonlight, and exquisitely beautiful, causing tenderness to appear in the male Immortal's eyes.

With a "swish," the jasmine flowers then bloomed, unfurling one by one. As they bloomed, countless blood-colored light phantoms within a thousand li radius were drawn by countless indescribable light threads and slowly flew out!

"Ah??" Xiao Hua, hidden within the Mitian Ring, was greatly shocked, because he could see clearly that on his sides, two blood-colored light phantoms, more than a foot long, were flying up. Weren't they the phantom images of earthworms? Looking at Jueyu Pool, even more countless fish-shaped, crab-shaped, and other aquatic creature silhouettes flew out. This female Immortal actually used her divine abilities to project the phantom images of all creatures with blood within a thousand li!!!

"Hoo!" Xiao Hua let out a long breath, feeling fortunate that he had stored Shuobing in his spatial dimension and even more fortunate that he possessed the Nascent Soul Body.

Xiao Hua felt lucky, but the male immortal dared not be careless. The light in his eyes flared up again as he swept his gaze across these blood-colored phantom images.

After the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the jasmine flowers had fully bloomed. A woman from the protective guard asked coldly, "How is it?"

The male immortal shook his head slightly, appearing somewhat disappointed.
