Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 577 Water Virtue Pearl (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Xu Xun's pupils contracted: "This is..."

"The true entrance to the Water God's Palace is inside this 'Tide Pearl'!"

Li Yunjing's eyes were piercing: "That big door outside is fake! Anyone who tries to enter through there will inevitably be attacked by a series of restrictions and formations! Whether they survive or not depends on their abilities!"

“Those people from the 'Tianluo Dao Sect'…”

Xu Xun's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously asked.

"Hehe! They've barely escaped with their lives! Let's seize the aura here first! Later, we'll go in from here, and while we're at it, we'll kill the people from the 'Heavenly Net Dao Sect' inside the 'Water God Palace'!"

Li Yunjing sneered and revealed his plan.

His "Mysterious Heavenly Compass" flew out, dancing around nearby and shooting out streaks of light.

Before long, Li Yunjing's eyes lit up!
He then made a series of moves, capturing images from a distance!

However, in Xu Xun's view, Li Yunjing was like someone blindly grabbing at things, with nothing in his hands.

However, Xu Xun did not disturb Li Yunjing. He knew that this was a method used by the Celestial Master to capture the aura left behind by a living person.

This aura is formless and invisible, and cannot be seen by ordinary people.

But it truly exists!
Everyone has a different aura. If a divination master grasps a person's aura, he may be able to deduce that person's location and fate based on that aura!
That's defying the heavens.

It was precisely because of such extraordinary abilities that the Celestial Masters never fared well.

Shortening one's lifespan is the most basic loss; in severe cases, it can also damage one's fortune.

These are all potential pitfalls in spiritual practice.

Li Yunjing closed his eyes slightly, a faint silver light emanating from his fingertips. The "Mysterious Heaven Compass" spun rapidly above his head, scattering starlight.

Xu Xun held his breath and focused his mind. He saw that in the void, several wisps of pale golden mist were faintly visible, moving like living things.

"found it!"

Fifteen minutes later, Li Yunjing suddenly opened his eyes and slammed his right hand into a claw-like shape.

Those wisps of golden mist struggled violently, even emitting a faint hissing sound.

He quickly made a hand seal with his left hand, and three talismans glowing with blood-red light flew out from his sleeve, forming a Three Talents Formation in the air to trap the golden mist.

Xu Xun noticed that the compass needle was trembling wildly, and Li Yunjing's temples were turning gray at a visible speed.

"Brother Li!"

He couldn't help but call out to remind him, only to see blood seeping from the corner of the other person's mouth, who was still staring intently at the gradually solidifying golden mist.

"It doesn't matter..."

Li Yunjing said in a hoarse voice, "These two old foxes are indeed cautious; they have hidden a backlash restriction in their aura."

Suddenly, he bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the "Heavenly Profound Compass".

In an instant, golden light shone brightly, and the cloud of mist finally transformed into two tiny, thumb-sized phantom figures, which were none other than the elders of the "Four Seas Chamber of Commerce"!

"It's them!"

Xu Xun gasped, noticing faint black threads entwined within the illusory image.

"Is this... a causal line?"

Xu Xun swallowed hard.

Such supernatural powers filled him with awe.

If anyone offends Li Yunjing, as long as this Vice Sect Leader Li is willing to pay the price, the location of the offender can be calculated!

At that time, whether Li Yunjing personally kills them or sends someone to kill them, the other side will have no chance of survival!

"No wonder so many people in the cultivation world are afraid of offending the Celestial Master!"

Xu Xun thought to himself.

"good."

Li Yunjing wiped away the bloodstains and sneered, "Their collusion with the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' is the perfect lead for tracking them down."

Before Li Yunjing could continue speaking, a piercing sound emanated from the "Heavenly Profound Compass," and two illusory figures simultaneously pointed to the southeast.

Li Yunjing suddenly coughed violently, and the illusory image in his palm began to dissipate.

He hurriedly took out a jade box to seal the remaining aura. "Thank goodness! We arrived in time. Otherwise, if we had arrived a few days later, their aura would have completely disappeared."

"Boom!"

Before the words were finished, a deafening explosion suddenly came from the direction of the fake palace gate in the distance, and the entire seabed trembled.

Xu Xun helped the staggering Li Yunjing up, his eyes wide as he looked in the direction of the "Water God Palace".

"It's alright! Don't worry about me!"

Li Yunjing grinned, a ruthless glint in his eyes, "Trading ten years of lifespan for their aura is worth it."

"Now, it's time to go to the 'Water God's Palace'."

Veins bulged on Li Yunjing's forehead, and his magical power surged wildly. The "Mysterious Heaven Compass" and the "Dragon and Phoenix Yin-Yang Heavenly Secret Pendant" simultaneously emitted strong light, intertwining into an invisible net.

He suddenly let out a low shout, slammed his palms together, grabbed Xu Xun, and rushed towards the "Tide Pearl"!
As the two entered, ripples appeared on the surface of the "Tide Pearl" before returning to calm.

Upon entering the "Water God Palace," Li Yunjing scanned his surroundings, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Let's go! We'll plunder the wealth here and give the people of the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' a surprise!"

Xu Xun gripped his longsword tightly, a ruthless glint in his eyes: "Fine! Let them know that anyone who dares to oppose us will only face death!"

The two exchanged a glance and, without hesitation, followed the long bluestone corridor in the direction the aura had flown, their figures quickly disappearing into the vast passageway.

Before long, the two passed through the long corridor and entered a stone chamber.

In the center of the stone chamber, seven stone coffins stand side by side, their lids engraved with mysterious runes, the origins of which are unknown.

The moment Li Yunjing stepped into the stone chamber, the "Mysterious Heaven Compass" suddenly trembled violently, and the pointer spun wildly, pointing directly at the third stone coffin in the center.

His pupils contracted slightly, and he could vaguely see fish-shaped shadows swimming in the eerie blue light seeping from the cracks of the stone coffin.

"Be careful! These stone coffins are arranged in the 'Seven Killings Formation of the Big Dipper'."

Li Yunjing warned, "Each stone coffin corresponds to a killing star; forcibly opening it will inevitably result in a backlash!"

Li Yunjing raised his hand to stop Xu Xun from rushing forward, and pointed his fingertips at the ground, forming celestial runes.

Beneath the bluestone bricks, a miniature "water mirror" suddenly rises, reflecting the scene of the "Water God Palace" festival seven thousand years ago.

The seven elders used their own life essence as a catalyst to seal the powerful sea creature who had violated the taboo here...

"These are the Demon-Suppressing Coffins of the 'Water God Palace.' They don't suppress treasures inside, but... powerful sea creatures!"

Before Li Yunjing could finish speaking, the third stone coffin suddenly made a loud noise, and the fish-shaped light and shadow transformed into a hideous ghost face, spewing out seawater with a putrid stench through the coffin seams.

"It's been seven thousand years, and it's still alive?"

Xu Xun was startled and instinctively swung his sword at the ghost face, but the sword energy disappeared without a trace.

"They may not be alive! They might have been transformed into ghosts!"

Upon seeing this, Li Yunjing immediately made a hand seal, condensing the power of the five elements into a funnel in his palm, forcefully blocking the impact of the wave of seawater and sucking it into it.

The seawater passed through the funnel and was transferred to the other side of the passage. The moment it landed, it turned into a black poisonous mist, which corroded the ground and emitted a hissing blue smoke.

However, this move, "Shifting Stars," was enough to deal with the attack, and Li Yunjing didn't have to expend much strength to deal with the poisonous water.

“Something’s not right. The flow of time inside the ‘Tide Pearl’ is different from that outside.”

Li Yunjing watched the rapidly ticking marks on the "Heavenly Profound Compass," and exclaimed, "The time here should be one to five! One day here is equivalent to five days outside!"

He suddenly noticed that the dome above the stone coffin was engraved with a star map, with each star corresponding to a rune on the coffin lid.

"Interesting! I think I understand the significance of building this 'Water God Palace' now!"

Li Yunjing leaped onto the stone coffin, his fingertips touching the "Tian Shu" and "Tian Xuan" runes in turn. "Back then, the 'Water God Palace' used the power of the stars to suppress demons and changed time. This place was built by some old fogies who were afraid of death, to prolong their lives!"

"What? You can even change time?"

Xu Xun was completely baffled and could hardly believe it. How much cultivation and magical power would this require!
"Hehe! Nothing is impossible! In ancient times, the power of immortals and gods could still manifest in the mortal world. Who knows if some great figure personally built it!"

Li Yunjing sneered and moved around on the seven stone coffins. As the last rune lit up, the seven stone coffins opened at the same time, but there were no corpses or magical treasures as expected.

A hidden door emerged from the bottom of the central stone coffin, through which the sound of flowing water could be heard, and stone steps leading to the deeper seabed could be vaguely seen.

Li Yunjing picked up the bronze key left in the coffin, which had the words "Water Virtue" on it.

"It's the legacy mark of the Water God Palace!"

Envy flashed in Xu Xun's eyes, "Brother Li, you were destined to have this opportunity!"

Li Yunjing inserted the key into the hidden door and stepped into the deep sea along the stone steps.

The water pressure surged instantly, but automatically dissipated when it came within three feet of him.

Deeper ahead, a suspended crystal palace slowly rotated, and the pearls inlaid on the palace door connected with the key in his hand, emitting a faint glow.

The moment the key was inserted into the lock, the entire palace suddenly roared like a dragon's cry, and the phantom images of the past masters of the "Water God Palace" emerged from countless bubbles. "The successor has arrived; the Way of Water Virtue shall continue..."

The first palace master emerged from the phantom and pressed a jade slip engraved with wave patterns into Li Yunjing's brow, saying, "Beware of the 'Soul-Devouring Jellyfish' in the seabed crevice..."

Li Yunjing felt a surge of cool energy flow into his sea of ​​consciousness from between his eyebrows. The wave patterns on the jade slip transformed into thousands of water symbols, which condensed into a phantom of a sea god holding a trident in his upper dantian.

The voice of the first palace master echoed in his mind: "The Way of Water is both gentle and strong, benefiting all things without contention, yet capable of overturning rivers and seas and suppressing the eight wastelands..."

The phantom raised its hand and pointed at his sea of ​​consciousness, and images surged forth like a tide.

How did the ancient Water God Palace govern the East Sea using the laws of water virtue, and how did it perish in the great calamity, its lineage severed...?

When the image faded, Li Yunjing discovered that the intent of his "Five Elements Divine Fist" had undergone a strange change.

The power of the Five Elements was infused with the law of water, making the originally fierce fist more rounded and flowing, like a river flowing into the sea.

He tried to circulate his magic power, and a layer of light blue water curtain immediately appeared around him. The trajectory of stars could be vaguely seen in the water curtain, which was the fusion of water virtue and celestial secrets.

"This is……"

A look of surprise flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes. He could feel that his control over the water element had increased several times over, and he could even hear the sound of the sea flowing in the distance.

Just then, a strange fluctuation suddenly came from the seabed crack.

Countless transparent jellyfish emerged from the cracks, their bodies a translucent purple, their tentacles shimmering with a ghostly blue light—the very "Soul-Devouring Jellyfish" mentioned by the first Palace Master.

As soon as these jellyfish appeared, they swarmed towards Li Yunjing, their tentacles shining even brighter.

Li Yunjing remained calm and unhurried, raising his hand to unleash the Water Virtue Law.

The water gushing from his palm formed a water shield in the air, blocking the first few jellyfish that rushed towards him.

"boom!"

When the jellyfish's tentacles touched the water shield, it immediately emitted a piercing shriek, its body rapidly expanded, and it exploded.

The purple venom spreads in the water, but is blocked by the water shield, preventing it from getting close.

"I see. These jellyfish have been corrupted by the demonic seed and have lost their minds."

Li Yunjing muttered to himself, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes.

He formed a hand seal, and the Water Virtue Law transformed into countless tiny water arrows, which accurately struck the jellyfish's head.

The jellyfish that was hit gradually regained its transparency, and the eerie blue light in its eyes gradually faded, as if it had regained its vitality.

"Vice Sect Leader Li, you can actually purify demonic seeds?"

Xu Xun then descended the stone steps and, upon witnessing this scene, exclaimed in amazement, "The Way of Water is truly wondrous!"

"Water inherently possesses the power to purify all things."

Li Yunjing smiled slightly and said, "These jellyfish are just innocent creatures that have been contaminated. Let's give it a try and see if we can save them."

"However, we don't have much time left."

He turned to look into the depths of the "Water God Palace," and thought, "The people from the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' have probably already broken through the outer restrictions and will be catching up soon. We must obtain the treasure of the 'Water God Palace' as soon as possible."

A mere inheritance was not enough to satisfy Li Yunjing.

He knows too many great principles, and even if this is the ultimate manifestation of the "Law of Water," it will not satisfy Li Yunjing.

Right now, he is more concerned about the resources of the "Water God Palace".

Despite having many resources, Li Yunjing's resources are not sufficient for breaking through to a higher realm.

His magical power was far greater than others', and each breakthrough in his cultivation level required hundreds of times more resources than others.

Li Yunjing would never say the words "enough".

The two returned from the seabed to the stone chamber.

They entered the second sarcophagus.

This stone coffin corresponds to a brightly lit corridor.

As Li Yunjing walked through the long corridor, he found that the space ahead was getting wider and wider. Before long, he passed through the main gate of the palace and entered the main hall.

This is the heart of the "Water God Palace"!

In the center of the main hall stands a huge fountain, and suspended in the center of the fountain is a blue bead the size of a fist, which is the treasure of the "Water God Palace", the "Water Virtue Bead".

As soon as Li Yunjing approached the fountain, the Water Virtue Law within his body resonated strongly with the "Water Virtue Pearl," and the illusory image of the Sea God flew directly towards the "Water Virtue Pearl" to merge with it.

"Om..."

The "Water Virtue Pearl" emitted a clear sound and transformed into a blue light that merged into Li Yunjing's body.

"Wow! I just stumbled upon an ancient magic treasure for free?"

In an instant, Li Yunjing felt himself connected to the entire ocean, able to clearly perceive the position and state of every drop of seawater.

"Brother Li, your current aura is like that of a sea god descending to earth..."

Xu Xun watched this scene with awe in his eyes.

"Isn't the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' trying to get its hands on the 'Water God Palace'?"

Feeling the surging power within him, Li Yunjing smiled confidently: "Then let them come! Now that I have inherited the Way of Water, this 'Water God Palace' is practically our home ground!"

"That's great!"

Xu Xun also showed a look of joy.

It should be noted that this "Water God Palace" is no ordinary place; it is of a very high level. If we can utilize its formations and restrictions, we might be able to completely annihilate the people of the "Tianluo Dao Sect."

Li Yunjing used the "Water Virtue Pearl" to gain some insights, and the structural diagram of the entire "Water God Palace" appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

He could see the people of the "Tianluo Dao Sect" very clearly!

"Good heavens! There's actually another Nascent Soul Realm expert?"

Li Yunjing's face lit up with joy. He hadn't expected to find such a big fish among dozens of Golden Core cultivators!
This "Tianluo Dao Sect" is truly powerful. They can easily send out dozens of Golden Core Realm experts and Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to support them.

Actually, Li Yunjing was wrong.

Last time, when people from the "Tianluo Dao Sect" and the "Sihai Chamber of Commerce" were discussing cooperation nearby, the people from the "Tianluo Dao Sect" set their sights on the "Water God Palace".

However, their strength was too weak at the time, and after their exploration, they suffered heavy losses and gained nothing.

The remaining people dared not continue exploring.

These people returned to the Tianluo Dao Sect and reported the secret realm there. Naturally, they received the sect's attention, and a True Person personally led a team to crack the secret and obtain the treasures.

At this moment, Li Yunjing began to activate the restrictions and formations of the "Water God Palace," unleashing its power according to his will.

"Boom!"

In Li Yunjing's "vision," a violent tremor suddenly came from outside the palace. The people of the "Tianluo Dao Sect" had broken through the outer restrictions and truly entered the "Water God Palace."

"Let's go out and meet them."

Li Yunjing turned to look at Xu Xun, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit: "Let them know what the power of the Water Virtue is!"

"it is good!"

The two walked out of the Crystal Palace side by side and headed towards the front hall of the "Water God Palace".

As he walked, Li Yunjing cast spells.

His fingertips traced water runes in the air, and suddenly, the walls of the entire "Water God Palace" were oozing out dark blue water patterns that spread forward along the ground like living things.

As soon as the group from the "Tianluo Dao Sect" stepped into the front hall, the leading Nascent Soul Realm cultivator suddenly had his pupils shrink.

The blue bricks beneath their feet transformed into a raging torrent, instantly engulfing the three Golden Core cultivators.

"what……"

Bronze chains faintly appeared in the water, with the ancient words "Suppress Demons" engraved on them. They pierced through the cultivators' protective aura and bound them tightly to the stone pillars.

"It's an ancient dragon-trapping formation!"

The Nascent Soul cultivator roared and unleashed a divine fire, attempting to burn through the chains.

However, the moment the flame touched the water ripples, it made a "sizzling" sound and turned into wisps of white smoke and dissipated.

Standing on the second-floor corridor, Li Yunjing raised his hand and waved it lightly. Suddenly, a crack appeared in the dome of the front hall, and seawater poured down, condensing on the ground into ten water-armored guards holding tridents.

"kill!"

Each of these water-armored guards exuded the pressure of the peak Golden Core realm, roaring in unison as they charged towards the enemy ranks.

"Vice Sect Leader Li, this is so awesome!"

Xu Xun looked at the "Water Mirror Technique" in front of him. They had activated the restrictions and formations of the "Water God Palace" without any effort, and slaughtered the cultivators of the "Tianluo Dao Sect".

This feeling of being able to wait and relax made Xu Xun extremely happy.
