Chapter 424: Xiao's Eye of God, Yaoyao's Apprenticeship

The top of Tianheng Mountain,

The flaming palm of Yingda's spirit stretched out, and the Nuo mask on his face kept changing, as if to reveal the face of a woman.

But without the body, how to restore the real skin and face.

The black fire revealed bright white flames, the high temperature distorted the air, and set off a heat wave.

The power of obsession made the flames form a blurry white cheek, revealing red eyebrows, red eyes, and a mouth that seemed to be open but could not say anything.

The black flame at the fingertips turned into white flame, and the murderous body transformed into that of a gentle and lively girl.

Yingda's spirit wanted to gently touch Xiao's handsome and flawless face.

But when she touched it, she stopped and looked at her palm which was so hot that it could burn mortals to ashes.

Jiang Yi's usual warnings surfaced in Ling's young mind.

The grass under my feet was dry, yellow and black, and the rocks were melting.

Xiao had a complicated expression as the hot air brushed across his body.

He said to Jiang Yi: "You used incense to leave the shadow of Tongque, I didn't expect you would find Yingda's spirit..."

"I know they are always here, in this land that the Emperor ordered us to protect."

"But resurrection is taboo, and the order of yin and yang, life and death cannot be violated."

The wind on Xiao's body surged, "It's great to be able to see you once! A pure spirit shouldn't be close to a body like mine that is overflowing with karma."

"Xiao..." Ying and Paimon looked at Xiao who seemed to be trying to escape.

Immortals value old friends, but they also don't care about life and death.

If old friends cannot be resurrected, what is the point of meeting them?

Just know that their souls in heaven are well.

If we meet, if we are obsessed, seeing the old friend... seeing the old friend's afterimage condensed by memory, seeing the old friend's clear spirit... it will only increase the sadness.

The old friend is gone, and you, the one who inherits his memories, are not him.

"Great Sage!" Jiang Yi asked, "Immortals don't need the Eye of God to drive elemental power. The Great Sage is an immortal, but he wears the Eye of God of the wind element."

"Rumor has it that one of the requirements for obtaining the Eye of God is to have a strong desire to gain the attention of God."

"I wonder when the Great Sage obtained the Eye of God? What is the Great Sage's wish?"

"Ridiculous! What do you want to say?" Xiao's eyes became sharp and stared at Jiang Yi.

"The Great Sage also sensed the obsession of the Fire Rat General Spirit, so I want to satisfy his obsession and find other Yakshas."

"The full moon night is the day for reunion, and the Lantern Festival is the day for heroes to return home."

Jiang Yi took out the Dust Cleansing Bell from his waist and said, "The Emperor believes that everything depends on fate. True Lord Gechen lent me the Dust Cleansing Bell. I will return to Jueyunjian tomorrow to visit True Lord Liuyun and also to ask for the blessings of the immortals."

"Five days later, on the eighth day of the New Year, the incense faith will reach the minimum requirement for the search, and then reach its peak on the night of the Sea Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the New Year."

"I plan to spend seven nights searching for the Yaksha spirit."

Xiao looked at the land of Liyue in silence, as the remnants of the demons waited for the night to come.

"Five days later, I will take you to see the tombs of Yingda, Mi Nu, and Fa Nan! I will also take you to the place where they died. Also, I will take you to a relic left by Fushe."

The green wind left the Bodhi tree, and wisps of black air reappeared.

Ying and Paimon watched Xiao leave.

"Xiao's Eye of God, is his wish to be resurrected?" Paimon wondered.

"I don't know!" Jiang Yi shook his head.

He was just looking for a topic to make Xiao face up to his desires and support him in his search for the Yaksha Spirit.

"Ying, let's go down the mountain."

Jiang Yi took back Yingda's spirit, hid the three people's figures, flew down with Ying, and landed directly in his own courtyard.

On the top of Tianheng Mountain, golden light flickered in the blue sky and disappeared in a short time, causing many residents of Liyue Harbor to exclaim in surprise.

During the Sea Lantern Festival, which was held to commemorate the True Lord Yixiao Daotian, a strange phenomenon appeared on Mount Tianheng.

Such a coincidence could not help but make some residents think that it was an immortal appearing, and the antlers of Yixiao Daotian Zhenjun were shining brightly.

I couldn't help but burn incense and worship Tianheng Mountain at the doorstep, watching the paper ashes floating in the sky.

Only those who had seen Jiang Yi and Ying leave at the dock knew that the strange vision above might have come from the Flying Sword Master who had great magical powers and was like an immortal traveling in the mortal world.

……

Lunch, entertaining guests.

As usual, Jiang Yi gave Yaoyao and Qiqi each a lucky money.

In the afternoon, I heard from Qian Yanjun that the person who drew the pattern of the treasure-stealing group there yesterday has been caught. He was a novice thief who wanted to commit a big crime like stealing the largest floating stone seen in twenty years in order to join the treasure-stealing group as a token of his allegiance.

In the evening, entertain the guests.

The next day, Jiang Yi took Yaoyao, who was going to visit Aunt Liuyun, Uncle Xueyue, and Uncle Lishui, as well as his senior sister Ganyu, and Ying and Paimeng, who also wanted to see the immortals, to Jueyunjian.

In front of children, people naturally don't talk about spiritual topics on the road.

Paimeng looked at Yaoyao curiously: "Ordinary people don't have many opportunities to see immortals. How did Yaoyao become an immortal's disciple?"

"Ah? Aren't there immortals everywhere?" Yaoyao looked puzzled. "Look, Sister Ganyu is an immortal. Among the five of us, there is one immortal."

"There are many immortals in Liyue Harbor. It's easy to become a disciple of an immortal."

"Huh!" Paimeng looked at Jiang Yi. Is it really that simple?

"Oh! Brother Jiang Yi seems to be an exception!" Yaoyao noticed Jiang Yi and scratched her head. She couldn't understand why Aunt Liu Yun used the Heaven and Earth Cage to test Brother Jiang Yi's life.

The book says that this kind of trial has been closed long ago.

"Let me think about it. Master said..." Yaoyao pondered for a moment, "Not everyone can be accepted by the immortals and become their disciples. But as long as you have a predestined relationship with the immortals, you can be recognized by the immortals."

"And the immortal fate..."

"That's what Master said. This is the fate between Master and me."

"'Because you and I have similar thoughts, we can know each other.'"

"In fact, I still haven't figured out the meaning of this sentence." Yaoyao said distressedly, "I remember the first time I met Master, we were just playing in the mountains as usual."

“I like talking to stones and clouds and telling them my feelings.”

"These flowers, these grasses, and those elusive little fish are all my good friends." Yaoyao pointed to the mountains and rivers under the flying sword.

"That day, Brother Shitou and Sister Yunduo, who never spoke, started talking to me. I happily talked to them the whole day."

"Then, I became Master's disciple."

Ying and Paimon listened to this fantasy novel-like experience and couldn't help but look at the clouds around them and the stones on the ground.

"Clouds and stones can talk?" Paimon shouted to the cloud, "Hey! Hello, Sister Yun?"

As her words were heard, the white clouds were silent and only the wind was whistling.

"If the only way to become a disciple of the immortals is to talk to clouds and stones, why does it feel like it's even more outrageous than Jiang Yi's trial!" Paimeng tried for a long time and spread his hands.

"No!" Yaoyao shook her head, "At that time, it was Master's magic."

Ganyu added: "Stones and clouds are the changes of Ping. The way of the immortals is to protect the world and save people. The Liyue immortals not only protect humans, but also cherish all things."

"Yaoyao's feelings of cherishing her playmates are similar to the feelings of the immortals who cherish all things. Therefore, Ah Ping fell in love with Yaoyao and accepted her as her disciple."

"After Jiang Yi fought with the remnants of the demon god on the west side of Tianheng Mountain, he restored the original plants and landforms, which won Ah Ping's praise."

Jiang Yi was speechless. His unintentional action increased his favorability.

I couldn't help but think about the process of Yaoyao becoming an apprentice.

The changes in the stones and clouds must be illusions! It turns out that the mindscape method has this use.

Yaoyao was not chatting with Shitou Yunduo, but chatted with Gechen Zhenjun for the whole day and they got to know each other very well.

To grasp such an opportunity to become an immortal, it really depends entirely on one's talent and purity of mind. It is not any easier than trying to force one's chance to become an immortal.
