Wet viviparity

Chapter 371 Questioning, Zu Mirage Qi
There are stacked jade towers and numerous jade pavilions.

Amid the vast blue waves, thousands of towering illusory clouds rise; among the lingering clouds, thousands of bright rainbow lights surround.

It leaves the waves and emerges from the sea of ​​clouds. Fish leap from the river and its shadow appears in the sky.

I saw the towering mirage and the phantom tower. The spectators were infatuated and listened to the distant sound of waves. The illusion was clear and real, and the mystery was deep and mysterious.

In this unknown realm, a figure from the southern land of Tiannan just appeared here, sitting in a single-story building, looking around curiously.

“Is this a mirage?”

Ji Ming talked to himself in the small building.

There were no candles in the building, but it was filled with a warm, slightly dim color, like a bright lamp in the evening after the rain. One could even smell a hint of moist cool air at the tip of one's nose.

"New landlord!

This is the Mirage."

In the building, green shells squeezed out from the cracks in the floor. Ji Ming reached out and tapped them, pulling out a small green-backed crab.

The crab wore a small cap on its head, stretched out its eight claws and two pincers, and swelled to half the height of a man. It stalked about the small building, chanting, "The mirages by the sea look like towers, and the vast fields look like palaces."

After reciting the poem, he came to Ji Ming and said, "Congratulations to the new owner of the building for entering this place. From now on, great achievements can be expected."

"You are the mirage in the building."

Ji Mingdao.

"Master, you have a keen eye. A certain family named Hengxing Wuzu was transformed from one of the thirty-six ancestral mirages in this building. So far, it has served twelve generations of masters, and you are now the thirteenth generation of the master of this building."

“How many landlords are there here?”

Jiming asked.

"good question."

The Crab Warrior circled around Ji Ming and said excitedly, "Just from this question, I know that you are a smart person. You are not blinded by this wave of wealth and honor. You still know how to understand the current situation first."

The Crab Warrior praised the new owner and saw that his expression was still as cold as before, so he said, "There are twelve owners here now."

Ji Ming frowned. He was not naive enough to think that he was the only cultivator living in the building, but were twelve owners a bit too many? In this case, could he still share in the benefits of the building?
"Elaborate."

Ji Ming said.

"Since the death of the Mirage Ancestor, the Thirty-Six Qi Treasure Mirage Towers have been ownerless.

However, because the Mirage Ancestor is an innate water spirit and was born in the clouds of the East China Sea, after the Mirage Ancestor's death, our Treasure Mirage Tower has been guarded by the Dragon Girl in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea.

The Dragon Girl often used this treasure to set up mirages in the depths of the East China Sea, attracting immortals, demons, alien species, etc. from all directions to come here to exchange what they have and what they need, and amassed mountains of wealth and rare treasures.

Until later, a mortal accidentally entered the sea market, and by chance was recruited by the Dragon King to be his consort. However, as this man could not stand the loneliness in the Dragon Palace and missed his relatives and friends, he bid farewell to the Dragon Girl and wanted to return to his hometown.

Before leaving, the Dragon Girl gave him a brocade bag and a treasure in a building, which were to help him gain wealth and protect himself.

The treasure in the building was the Thirty-Six Qi Treasure Mirage. From then on, the Treasure Mirage changed its owner again and was obtained by that mortal. With the help of this building, this person embarked on the path of cultivation in the Zhenling Sect of Baoguangzhou. After only a hundred years, he became a senior in the sect and became a Yangshen Earth Immortal.

Unfortunately, because he wanted to go to the East China Sea to fetch his wife, the Dragon Girl, he angered the Dragon King and was defeated by a group of Narcissus. He died in the East China Sea. Since then, the Precious Mirage was passed on to the offspring born to that mortal and the Dragon Girl.

In order to avenge his father, the son borrowed the power of the Treasure Mirage and caused several catastrophes in the East China Sea. The East China Sea Water Palace, the True Spirit Sect, several fairy mountains and blessed islands, and several small Taoist sects along the coast were all involved.

Unfortunately, the descendants of that mortal are still weak after all. Even after a hundred years of planning and alliances with many parties, they are no more than an ant trying to shake a tree or a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Before his death, he separated and refined the thirty-six ancestral mirage energies in the building. From then on, cultivators in the world who hold the mirage dragon-controlling energy can live in it, obtain one of the thirty-six ancestral mirage energies, and continue his blood feud with the East China Sea."

"Blood feud."

Ji Ming repeated it and said.

The Crab Warrior became serious at this point, waving his two claws, and continued to tell the following story, saying: "At first, no one coveted this treasure because of the power of the old dragon. Later, the old dragon summoned thirty-six mirages from all over the world to live in the Mirage Tower, so that this treasure could be returned to the water palace. As the saying goes, a dragon gives birth to nine sons, each one is different. Even if the old dragon had ordered it, the mirages in the rivers, lakes, and seas could only gather twenty-eight heads.

The twenty-eight mirage species have different levels of foundation, and the one with the highest foundation is the mirage dragon that occupies the fairy mountain under the Dragon Lord of the East China Sea. It was also this one who had the intention of rebellion after taking over the mirage tower."

"Occupy the Immortal Mountain?
But that is the Taiyi Qingmu Mountain in the East Sea Cave Heaven. "

"Yes, it is this mountain."

Hearing Ji Ming's words, Xie Wuzu couldn't help but look up to this new building owner and said, "Speaking of which, the Dragon Lord of the East Sea is also the maternal uncle of this Mirage Dragon. Unfortunately, with such a valuable treasure in hand, he couldn't resist the temptation, and from then on, another killing calamity began.

In this killing calamity, the Dragon Palace almost changed its owner, and the scope and depth of the involvement can be said to be even greater than before."

"The mirage dragon was defeated."

Ji Ming said.

He had never heard of such a big event in the mountains. It must be that the old dragon of the East China Sea blocked the truth of this piece of history, or to be more precise, a scandal.

He had thought that the immortals and gods could be more peaceful and inactive, but he didn't expect that they would also be involved in such trivial matters. It was really disappointing and extremely disappointing.

"Failed."

The Crab Warrior nodded his two eye handles and said, "All twenty-eight mirage species sank into the East China Sea. Since then, mirage dragons have rarely been seen in the world, and the story of our Treasure Mirage Tower has spread throughout the world, setting off a trend of raising mirages.

Up to now, there have been twelve owners of this building, some immortals, some Buddhas, some demons, some gods, some ghosts, and you make it thirteen.”

"Do you know their identities?"

"I don't know everything. I returned to the building after the previous owner died. I don't know how much time has passed."

Ji Ming frowned and said, "So your information is not the latest."

"Yes."

Crab Warrior said apologetically.

“What is the relationship between the landlords?”

Jiming asked about another matter that he was extremely concerned about.

There is no one who doesn't want to be the owner of a building alone and enjoy the treasures alone. Not to mention twelve owners, even two owners would be too many.

"is acceptable."

The answer from the Crab Warrior surprised Ji Ming. Is the atmosphere in this building so good? !
"Some people wanted to take control of the Mirage Tower alone, some wanted to maintain the status quo, and some wanted to just be a passer-by in the tower. People's minds were mixed. After several fights and the death of many tower owners, a balance was maintained.

Currently, there is a celestial being, an arhat, and a demon god who jointly maintain this balance."

Ji Ming's brows were still furrowed as he asked, "Can this balance last forever?"

"I don't know, but this balance has been maintained for six hundred years, and it seems that it can still be maintained for the time being."

After hearing that the balance has been maintained for six hundred years, Ji Ming felt somewhat relieved. It seemed that the balance was not as weak as he had imagined.

“What should I do next?”

Jiming asked.

"It's very simple. Refine me into your heart, and merge me with the mirage in your heart. Only then can you truly grasp the 'key' and become the new owner of the building." The Crab Warrior opened his claws and said so.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute."

Ji Ming knew that after refining this Crab Warrior and mixing the ancestral mirage energy with the mirage energy in his own heart, his spirituality and old wisdom would return to chaos and confusion, so he had to ask more questions.
