Wet viviparity

Chapter 751 Going to Sea, Two Eagles Talk
In the dead of night, Jiang Heixiao was chained to the bottom of the underground palace.

"Although the poison in this body and the pure evil spirit have nourished its violent nature, and even a small amount has been absorbed by the Great Green Maiden through magic, the physical body has already taken on a demonic form. It is impossible to turn back into human form. To restore it to human form would be nothing short of a divine work of creation."

The original body has been invited and is currently a guest in the Hunshui Mountain of the Cangling Sect, where it is discussing the Dao and demons with several high-ranking members of the Cangling Sect.

For the sake of future planning, the true body needs to reside in the Hidden Spirit Sect for a period of time, and ideally, have an opportunity to visit the Purple-Faced Golden Granny and discuss the mysteries of magic. Therefore, the Yin spirit can only travel to the East Sea to make arrangements.

Jiang Heixiao huddled in the darkness, deep in thought, and many days passed in a daze.

Having finally regained consciousness, she subconsciously reached out to touch her side, only to find nothing. She thought to herself, "I almost forgot that the old man has already taken over Shuhan Residence."

"What, are you scared now?"

On a narrow, enclosed staircase, only wide enough for one person to pass at a time, a person walks up, and before they arrive, their voice has already reached them.

"Grandpa, I knew you would come."

Jiang Heixiao, unable to hide his joy, twisted his neck to speak. The next moment, the chain around his neck tightened, pulling his neck to the ground, making it impossible for him to move an inch.

"Those elders are so heartless. I was poisoned outside, and instead of discussing how to cure my poison and heal my wounds, they treated me like a demon. No wonder the family is so disunited."

"Once I've mastered the true technique and my physical body has reached the realm of immortality, I'll make them pay!"

“You didn’t say a word in the hall back then, so I thought you had changed your ways after your experiences outside. Now you’re spouting nonsense in front of me.”

Holding a candle, Jiang Shenhu walked down the ravine, stepping on the rotten soil and mud. Seeing such a terrible environment, he frowned slightly. "I always knew my family was short-sighted, but I didn't expect they wouldn't even clean your cell properly."

He took out a jade cup from his bosom, which contained some golden spring water.

This is a treasure of the blessed land of Jinjing Mountain, possessing the essence of the mountain, which can nourish all things.

A tiger emerged from Jiang Shenhu's body. This tiger carefully handed the jade cup to the black owl's bloody mouth. Its strong, powerful fingers, containing a gentle strength, pried open the huge mouth covered with fangs and slowly poured in the golden spring containing the essence of the mountain.

As soon as the spring water entered his throat, Black Owl's body strangely slowed down, and the bulging veins on his exposed, wounded fur seemed to calm down a little.

Seeing the child's improved condition, Jiang Shenhu felt reassured and quickly stepped forward.

He threw the candle in his hand, then made a hand seal and chanted an incantation. The flame suddenly contracted, then shone brightly, and a cool aura that soothed the soul and cleansed away evil quietly spread.

As the lamplight drifted to the side of the black owl's head, the ferocity in its burning eyes subsided slightly, and it struggled to raise its long, curved neck.

"Don't move." Jiang Shenhu grabbed the flickering lamp flame and gently placed it on the ferocious tiger's forehead. The lamplight in his palm poured like mercury into the skull, and then asked lovingly, "Xiao'er, how do you feel?"

"Phew~ It feels much better."

"This lamp spirit was personally passed down from your ancestor 'Dan Yuan Hu Shi' in your ancestral hall. While it may not be a cure-all, it will at least give you enough time to fully recover."

"Grandpa, do you have a cure?"

"If I had a way, why would I have exiled you to a remote hill beyond the East Sea?"

In fact, if it weren't for the old barbarian in the ancestral hall who was knowledgeable and experienced, Jiang Shenhu wouldn't have known what the poison in his child's body was.

However, in order to boost Black Owl's confidence, he said, "That hill has been the dwelling place of gods and humans since ancient times. Although its territory of tens of thousands of miles was reduced by several times during the two ancient years of Emperor Yuan and Emperor Tian, ​​it is still extremely vast."

When you arrive there, first take your family's visiting card to pay homage to the Earth Immortal Ancestor of my True Spirit Sect, the reclusive Master of Dongji Ranfeng Island, who lives in seclusion on Dongji Island. She is exceptionally talented and will surely have a way to cure your physical ailment.”

"So you had this planned out all along, sir."

"Of course."

Jiang Shenhu replied with great uncertainty.

He had calculated everything, but he didn't know if the Lord of Ranfeng Island would give him face, or rather, if the Jiang family would give face. That person was deeply dissatisfied with the current situation where the main family of the sect held power.

"At midnight tonight, the old barbarian will come to pick you up in person."

"So fast!"

Yes, that fast.

Jiang Shenhu also had his own unspeakable suffering. There were quite a few people in the sect who wanted to kill Hei Xiao, especially his eldest son Jiang Zhao.

It's late at night and everything is quiet.

The mountain mists and clouds in Jinjing Mountain dissipated, leaving only the shimmering jade trees and precious flowers on the floating stone platform, reflecting the shimmering light of the secluded ravine below.

At the entrance to the underground palace, a light rain fell, wetting the cold stone steps. A demonic figure shrouded in a large black cloak was half-supported and half-guided by two tigers, trudging heavily out of the place. Reaching the precipice in the mountain, a fierce wind howled.

The old barbarian had been waiting on the cliff for a long time. When he saw Jiang Heixiao walking upright like a demon, he stretched out a palm and pressed it on the shoulder of Jiang's cloak. He lowered his voice to a very low level, which blended into the sound of the rain.

"Black Owl, though the Black Riverbank in the hills is a place of bitter cold and desolation, it is also a place where life can be found."

The master's good intentions are not to abandon you. When you go to the Blackwater, remember to be patient and bide your time, and restrain your violent temper.

"Once...once the erysipelas subsides and the perpetrator returns home, there will be a appointed time for his return!"

“Xiao’er understands.”

The black owl bent its neck slightly and said.

The old barbarian nodded, sighing inwardly.

He had no faith in this junior. If he wanted to regain human form, he had to find a mysterious path and then use his profound Taoist knowledge and extensive experience to create an effective method. Only in this way could he reverse the state of human-demon transformation.

Asking a child who is barely old enough to understand the true Dharma is nothing short of a fantasy.

The old barbarian took out a small mansion and handed it to the black owl, saying, "This is what your father asked me to bring to you. This mansion is for you to refine, and outsiders cannot touch it. Your father stored your future living and cultivation supplies in this mansion."

Upon reaching the hillock and the banks of the black water, one is completely isolated from the world, far removed from worldly affairs.

After Black Owl took the miniature spiritual palace, he said no more and gave a low shout: "Go!"

A shuttle-shaped golden light shot out from his sleeve, instantly expanding and carrying the two of them. It transformed into a faint meteor, tearing through the heavy rain curtain and heading towards the boundless dark sea and sky in the east, eventually disappearing into the vast depths of the desolate wilderness.

At the Liaohua Ting residence, only the drizzling rain falls gently on the cold blue tiles, and a long sigh comes from under the eaves.

Several months later, on the East China Sea, the stars were setting in the west, and the tide was surging eastward.

Inside the shuttle of light, an old man and a young man sat cross-legged one behind the other, braving the waves and wind as they traveled, nearing the edge of the East Sea.

In the light, one can occasionally see rows of islands, the skull of a giant whale half-buried in the sand, as white as frost in a cave, with coral growing in the orifices, and sea vines coiling like pythons, writhing silently.

As the light of the shuttle traveled deeper into the sea, the surface suddenly appeared as if it were covered with glass, the water so clear that it reflected the clouds and sky upside down.

Black Owl's expression shifted. He raised his tiger head and feigned surprise. In the unfathomable depths above his head, an illusory building appeared to be moving backward, with a Taoist figure vaguely visible on it, looking down at him.

At this moment, the old barbarian's compass and golden needles suddenly split open to the left and right, spinning rapidly. His expression changed slightly, and he made a hand seal, quickly drawing the shuttle light like an arrow from a bow, cleaving through the layers of water shadows and breaking through the illusory world of upside-down sea and sky.

"It was by sheer accident that I almost stumbled into the Mirage Realm."

Even the Great Barbarian, one of the Six Auspicious Ones of the True Spirit Sect, was still filled with lingering fear while in the Shuttle Light.

He instructed Black Owl, "Remember, if you encounter this Mirage Realm at sea, you must avoid it beforehand. If you unfortunately fall into it, you must find the owner of the treasure pavilion there and ask for his protection to send you out of the realm."

"Is that considered a treasure pavilion?"

Black Owl pointed ahead and said.

Ahead, a massive object, as large as a towering pagoda, with a rough, rounded surface and elongated, chess-piece-like shapes at the top and bottom, hurtled towards them, skimming the surface of the sea. In the blink of an eye, it appeared poised for a head-on collision, and the shuttle light abruptly stopped.

The object hurtled towards Black Owl and Old Barbarian with lightning speed, but it narrowly escaped by leaping up and hovering about three zhang in front of them, its momentum flowing smoothly.

At this moment, two eagles, one with golden feathers and the other with blue feathers, were circling in the nearby sea and sky.

The golden eagle spreads its wings, its iron beak splits the clouds, and its steel claws part the waves; the blue eagle shakes its feathers, its frosty wings cut through the mist, and its icy eyes reflect the image. Where the two birds circle, the gale rips through the layers of clouds.

A single wing swept across the flowing clouds, gold and blue mingling, and in an instant, the two eagles folded their wings, standing atop a hundred-foot wave.

Golden Eagle tilted his neck and asked Green Eagle beside him, "Golden Boy, your Yin Spirit travels can already transform into anything. Your skill in transformation is truly remarkable."

With a swipe of its claws, the Azure Eagle grabbed the wave below and looked ahead, saying, "Great Immortal, you flatter me. You only need to absorb a ray of clear light to transform into this Mystic Light Avatar. The mysteries within it are a hundred times greater than mine."

“I see that the two brothers have taken away the magnetic peak in the northeast of the Immortal Mountain. Have you decided not to stay at the Immortal Mountain anymore?”
That is a celestial paradise above the East Sea. Your fifty years of arduous cultivation there, just in terms of breathing in spiritual energy and drawing in the essence of the sun and moon, has already surpassed the hundred years of meditation practiced by cultivators in the four realms outside.

Moreover, there, the Peach Blossom Fairy and I, the old immortal, will personally answer your questions.

The eagle gently touched its beak and combed its feathers on the wave, saying, "I am fortunate to have the favor of the two divine beings, Tu and Lei. Even though the handle of the Two Elements Ruyi Curved Cloud has long been completed, they have never been able to reclaim the Magnet Peak so that I could live in the immortal mountain. Moreover, the fairy often invites me to drink wine and enlightens me on the secrets of my cultivation, which makes my cultivation soar."

Fifty years have passed, and the calamities of Tiannan have accumulated, with demons and evil spirits frequently emerging, suggesting a decline in the righteous path. We, the disciples of Taiping Mountain, are under immense pressure. This is the opportune time for me to make a difference, accumulate merit, and prepare for the future.”
