Chapter 97 Entering the Jade Pool
"Taoist priest, please wait!"
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was surrounded by swirling mist, ethereal and fairy-like, and spoke to persuade Hua Yunfei to stay.
"Is there anything else, Fairy?" Hua Yunfei asked, feigning curiosity.
"You should have heard that the Yaochi Gathering will be held soon. This time, Yaochi has invited masters of Origin Techniques from all over the world to go there, just to seal a few rare stones."
She sincerely invited him and told Hua Yunfei all sorts of details, including that there were several strange stones in Yaochi with amazing origins, which were now almost impossible to seal away.
Taking advantage of the Peach Banquet, Yaochi invited many extraordinary individuals from families specializing in Origin Arts to reseal the Stone King using their unparalleled Origin Arts.
"Master Dao is proficient in the art of source cultivation. My Yaochi needs the assistance of such an extraordinary person as Master Dao."
"Don't worry, you'll definitely get your share of the benefits, Taoist priest."
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi spoke solemnly, her white robes fluttering, untouched by any dust, like a fairy from the moon palace under the night sky.
Hua Yunfei nodded to himself; he had done all this in order to enter Yaochi.
"Alright, I also wish to visit the Jade Pool Holy Land and broaden my horizons..." Hua Yunfei replied with a smile.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Daoist must have obtained the Source Book, right?"
Seeing that he had agreed, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi spoke again.
"Oh? Is the fairy so sure?"
"Ten thousand years ago, there was a Yuan Tian Master who had a close relationship with my Yaochi. I can naturally recognize the various methods of the Yuan Tian Master."
Hua Yunfei nodded, acknowledging his identity as a successor of the Source Celestial Master.
Facing Yaochi, his identity as the successor of Master Yuan will only bring him benefits, and he need not worry about being coveted by others.
The two continued their journey, encountering several female disciples from the Yaochi Holy Land who were searching for traces of the Yaochi Holy Maiden in the vicinity.
They were overjoyed to see their saintess return safely.
They naturally noticed Hua Yunfei as well, and seeing that he had actually come out of the forbidden area with their Holy Maiden, they couldn't help but be very curious.
Upon hearing that many of her fellow disciples were searching for her nearby, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi quickly arranged for these people to deliver the message.
Before long, a large group of people rushed over. In addition to the people from Yaochi Holy Land, the people from Dayan Holy Land also rushed over immediately after hearing the news.
"The Holy Maiden is unharmed and has safely left the forbidden area; what a blessing!"
Several middle-aged women were overjoyed to see the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.
"Who is this...?" An elder from Yaochi looked at Hua Yunfei with a puzzled expression. They had naturally noticed this young Taoist priest long ago.
After some explanation, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi said that Hua Yunfei was her savior and gave a brief account of their experiences, but omitted the parts about Xiang Yifei and others.
Several elders of Yaochi were overjoyed upon hearing this, as their Yaochi Holy Land needed a source technique prodigy like Hua Yunfei.
Several elders invited him to stay at the Yaochi Holy Land for a while, waiting for the Yaochi Grand Gathering to begin.
Hua Yunfei naturally readily agreed.
"May I ask, Holy Maiden, do you have any news of my Holy Son?" At this moment, an elder from the Great Yan Holy Land arrived and asked anxiously.
Seeing the Holy Maiden of Yaochi return safely, but not their Holy Son, a gloomy mood settled over the group from the Dayan Holy Land, and they had a bad feeling.
"After being blown into the forbidden area by the black whirlwind, I got separated from the others and haven't seen Fellow Daoist Xiang and the others since."
A voice as beautiful as heavenly music rang out as the Holy Maiden of Yaochi spoke calmly.
"What should we do..." The group from the Dayan Holy Land were in a panic, and several elders looked at Yaochi Saintess and Hua Yunfei with scrutinizing eyes.
But for now, he had to suppress his suspicions and continue searching around the edge of the restricted area.
Afterwards, Hua Yunfei followed Yaochi and his group back to Yuancheng, preparing to return to the Yaochi Holy Land with the Yaochi Holy Maiden.
After staying in Yuancheng for another three days, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi finished dealing with the affairs there, and Hua Yunfei and the others stepped into the domain gate and disappeared from there.
In the past few days, news that Xiang Yifei, the Holy Son of Dayan, had fallen into the Primordial Ancient Mine and whose fate was unknown had spread like wildfire, causing a great uproar.
Correspondingly, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi also fell into it, but this fairy was lucky and met a genius of source arts inside, and came out safely.
To survive a place like the Primordial Ancient Mine, one must either be extremely lucky or possess genuine skill.
For a time, the name "Wuwei" became quite well-known in the Northern Region.
Yaochi Sacred Land is located on the northern land. Here, divine springs and waterfalls cascade, sacred mountains rise one after another, divine trees stand tall, ancient herbs are fragrant, fairy flowers bloom, strange trees grow in abundance, and auspicious birds and beasts appear from time to time.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that such beautiful mountains and rivers could exist on the vast, barren lands of the North.
Outside the mountain gate, Hua Yunfei couldn't help but sigh. As expected of a lineage that had produced an emperor, from the perspective of the Source Celestial Master, this place was like a tiger crouching and a dragon coiling, with auspicious energy rising, ensuring the continued prosperity of a holy land.
Hua Yunfei's residence was located by a small lake in the Yaochi Sacred Land, where a vast expanse of purple bamboo forest flowed with a faint divine light, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary place.
At this moment, Hua Yunfei sat quietly by the lake. He looked inward at himself. Beside the placenta of heaven and earth, a dazzling primordial power floated quietly. That was the origin of the Ancient Sacred Body!
After obtaining the Sacred Body Origin from the Azure Dragon King, he used the Heaven and Earth Placenta to nourish this Origin. After several months, the Sacred Body Origin was finally complete and flawless.
Hua Yunfei was very much looking forward to seeing what changes he would experience once he absorbed and fused with the complete Sacred Body Origin.
As his cultivation deepened, Hua Yunfei became increasingly dissatisfied with those low-level source powers.
Apart from those with special constitutions, among ordinary people, the higher their cultivation level, the more fragments of the myriad rules contained in their origin, and the richer the variety of the Great Dao contained within them.
Therefore, Hua Yunfei really had no interest in those ordinary cultivators.
"Master Wuwei..."
A voice rang out, and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi appeared, explaining her purpose: she had come to take Hua Yunfei to see those stone kings.
After entering the sacred land, Hua Yunfei asked the Holy Maiden of Yaochi if he could see some of the Stone Kings of Yaochi in advance, as he did not want to wait until the Yaochi Grand Gathering.
Before the Yaochi Grand Gathering began, those stone kings were regarded as treasures by Yaochi. Hua Yunfei's current cultivation level and status were not enough to make Yaochi agree to his request.
However, thanks to the efforts of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, and considering that Hua Yunfei had saved her life and was also the successor of the Yuan Celestial Master, the higher-ups of Yaochi agreed.
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi led the way, with Hua Yunfei following behind. A sweet fragrance wafted through the air, making one's heart flutter.
Following the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, Hua Yunfei ventured deep into the Pure Land.
In an open space, several strangely shaped stones, large and small, lay quietly on the ground, guarded by several elderly women.
These individuals are all Supreme Elders of the Yaochi Holy Land, and without a doubt, they are all top-tier experts.
Hua Yunfei followed the Holy Maiden of Yaochi in greeting the old women, and then eagerly examined the stones.
There are seven stone kings in total, all of which were collected by Yaochi over the years.
Three of the stone kings were brought out of Zishan by the Celestial Master Zhang Lin and later handed over to Yaochi.
The other four pieces were found by the Queen Mother of the West throughout the ages, and they are all incredibly mysterious.
Among them, one stone was the most extraordinary, its colors dazzling and radiant, emanating a powerful life force!
