Chapter 130 Three Lives, Three Worlds, Southern Beginning 12
Nan Chu and Dong Hua began their travels across the four seas and eight wastelands.
The East China Sea, an endless ocean, was gently caressed by a breeze that ruffled Nan Chu's black hair. Nan Chu raised her hand and tucked the hair behind her ear.
Donghua stood quietly beside Nanchu, turning his head to look at her with a gentle smile on his lips.
As Nan Chu turned back, Dong Hua resumed his indifferent expression.
“The spiritual energy in the East Sea is much less than it was 20,000 years ago, so the problem probably lies in the East Sea,” Nan Chu said without changing his expression.
Donghua wasn't very sensitive to spiritual energy; he only slightly noticed that the spiritual energy was a little less.
"Have you found it there?" Donghua asked calmly.
Nan Chu lowered his head in thought, inquiring about the system in his mind.
"System, have you noticed anything amiss?"
"The host can release their life force to sense the direction of the spiritual energy, which indicates the location of the formation."
Nan Chu looked at Dong Hua, her heart skipped a beat. She immediately noticed the undisguised tenderness in Dong Hua's eyes, and the atmosphere became awkward.
The two were silent for a few seconds. Nan Chu coughed lightly a few times, ignoring Dong Hua's gaze, and said, "I'll release my cultivation in a moment, and I'll be able to sense it."
Before Donghua could respond, he immediately sat down and released his life force.
Green light spots surrounded Nan Chu, floating with transparent spiritual energy. Then, a change occurred in the air, and the spiritual energy flew towards a certain location.
When the light reached the spot where the spiritual energy disappeared, Nan Chu stood up, nodded to Dong Hua, and said, "Over there."
A figure flashed by and disappeared in an instant; Donghua quickly gave chase.
Two figures stopped in front of an island. The island was covered with rolling mountains, shaped like a giant dragon coiled in the East China Sea. The clouds and mist in the mountains seemed to be the dragon's breath, full of spiritual energy, and green light spots surrounded the mountains.
Nan Chu looked up at the high mountain peak, and there seemed to be a cave on it.
Donghua also noticed the cave. He exchanged a tacit glance with Nanchu and flew to the front of the cave.
The cave is located in the center of the mountains. A warning array was set up in front of the cave, which Donghua broke with magic.
Nan Chu and Dong Hua slipped into the cave. A cool, damp air rushed towards them. The cave was dimly lit and narrow, only wide enough for two people to enter at a time.
Donghua led the way, both of them highly focused. The silence seemed to freeze time. After walking for a while, their view opened up.
Inside the cave is a pool of spring water. Like the other three desolate areas, it is surrounded by blood-red writing and symbols. The spring water has turned black, and there are wisps of black mist on its surface.
Donghua's expression turned serious, and Nanchu's mind wandered for a moment.
"System, Bai Zhi won't keep doing this forever, will he? You can't guard against a thief forever." Nan Chu complained.
"Don't worry, host. This secret technique also comes at a price, so there can't be many. At most, there can be five. Moreover, once it's set up, it can't be undone. Even if Bai Zhi discovers something unusual, he can't set up another formation."
The system's words were meant to make Nan Chu feel better; she really didn't want to have to clean up the mess left by the Heavenly Dao.
"Nan Chu, how much cultivation do you have left? Can you still break this formation?" Dong Hua asked.
Donghua felt that Nan Chu had many secrets, including her ability to break the formation and her connection to Mo Ze.
"It's alright, let me recover a bit," Nan Chu said.
Seeing Nan Chu sitting on a rock, Dong Hua walked over to Nan Chu's side.
He turned his palm down and slightly twirled it. As he poured his magic power into his palm, a small healing array appeared. He then gently patted Nan Chu's right shoulder.
Nan Chu felt another magical power flowing into her body, gently repairing the lost magical power.
Before long, Nan Chu recovered, stood up, walked to the spring, and began to set up the reversal formation.
Fortunately, she had already learned a lot about formations from Mo Yuan, and felt that her understanding of formations was more thorough. This time, the formation was very smooth, and it was basically a natural progression.
Before long, the spring stopped emitting black smoke, and the spiritual energy in the air began to diminish and disappear.
Nan Chu's forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat. After the formation was set up, he looked up and saw a hand holding a handkerchief in front of him.
Nan Chu wasn't embarrassed at all. She took the handkerchief and wiped her face roughly.
"Now that this is resolved, let's rest for a bit before heading to other places." Donghua sat down next to Nanchu.
On the other side, at Kunlun Mountain.
For some unknown reason, Bai Qian's cultivation level steadily improved.
Zheyan also came to Kunlun Mountain and told Moyuan about the Fire Phoenix.
Mo Yuan mentioned Bai Qian's unusual behavior, and that Nan Chu and Dong Hua had gone to search for formations throughout the Four Seas and Eight Desolations.
Connecting Bai Qian's cultivation level with the formation makes everything make sense. Otherwise, why would the Bai family have so many high gods? It turns out they stole most of the spiritual energy from the Four Seas and Eight Desolations and forcibly elevated themselves to the level of high gods.
Since learning about the Bai family's affairs, Zheyan has been intentionally or unintentionally distancing himself from Qingqiu.
When Bai Qian saw Li Jing come to Kunlun Mountain to find her, she was overjoyed and started dating him again.
With the arrival of Xuan Nu, her childhood follower, Bai Qian had few friends in Kunlun Mountain. Her fellow disciples were all busy cultivating and had no time to play with her.
Normally, Bai Qian could only sneak off to the mortal realm to pass the time, but now that someone had come to keep her company, she was overjoyed.
Thus, Xuan Nu, who had little interaction with Li Jing, became acquainted with him. Li Jing, however, was not interested in the pretty Xuan Nu.
Xuan Nu has been Bai Qian's follower since childhood, but she is inferior to Bai Qian in every way. When Bai Qian gets into trouble, Xuan Nu is often the one who takes the blame. She is jealous of Bai Qian, hates Bai Qian, and also envies Bai Qian.
The three often met at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. Li Jing approached Si Yin with a purpose, and Bai Qian was immersed in Li Jing's dreamy love. Bai Qian and Li Jing became lovers, and Li Jing even said that he would propose to Bai Qian after a while.
How could Bai Qian agree? She was currently in the identity of Si Yin. Although Li Jing had seen through her disguise as a man, he did not know that Bai Qian was the youngest daughter of Bai Zhi, the nine-tailed white fox of Qingqiu.
Her father repeatedly warned her that Si Yin's identity must not be exposed.
Xuan Nu's arrival was not unexpected; she came to Kunlun Mountain to escape a marriage arranged by her family.
Through Bai Qian's connection, Xuan Nu met Li Jing, who was ten times better than the fiancé arranged by her family. As a prince of the Winged Clan, Li Jing was naturally Xuan Nu's target.
Bai Qian often had to stay in Kunlun Mountain to study, which meant that Xuan Nu and Li Jing spent more time together. In addition, Xuan Nu deliberately seduced Li Jing, who was not exactly a gentleman, and their relationship developed rapidly.
After listening to Mo Yuan's lecture today, Bai Qian hurriedly arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.
Just then, Bai Qian saw Li Jing and Xuan Nu enter a cave, and she followed them, only to find the two of them engaging in illicit sexual activity.
Bai Qian stepped forward and slapped the two away. Her eyes widened in anger, her neck turned red, and her eyes almost spitting fire. She said angrily, "You two shameless bastards."
After saying that, Bai Qian ran straight back to Kunlun Mountain.
Li Jing's face turned ashen as he hurriedly chased after her, leaving Xuan Nu behind, her face filled with hatred. It turned out that in Li Jing's eyes, she was just a dispensable person.
They were ultimately blocked from leaving the country by the formation of Kunlun Mountain and could only wait anxiously at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.
