Fox Song

Chapter 37 Three Major Sites
If Zixuan raised her hand and blasted a deep pit several dozen feet in the ground, Xiaojing and Lanlan would not be surprised at all. But when she lightly pointed her finger, the spiritual energy pierced through dozens of grass leaves like an embroidery needle without hurting the others. This was not a simple matter.

At least, the two of them can't do it at the moment.

"Sister, how did you do it?" Xiao Jing couldn't wait any longer and urged again, "Teach us quickly!"

"Don't you guys still want to watch straight hook fishing?" Zi Xuan smiled and said, "My show hasn't started yet!"

Xiaojing and Lanlan looked at each other and knew that Zixuan had more actions to do, so they stopped talking and urged her.

After Zi Xuan put away the lightning whip in her left hand, she put her left palm together and pointed her fingers like a knife, then slashed through the air.

Then, the three of them saw that the grass where the palm wind passed was like it had been mowed by a lawn mower, and it was all the same height. In the distance, a short shrub growing on the grass was broken in the middle, and the cross-section was as smooth as a mirror, the thickness of a thumb.

"Watch carefully!" Zi Xuan smiled indifferently.

Her right hand half-clenched again and pointed at the half of the tree crown that had fallen to the ground.

Here we go again! What is the elder sister doing? Xiao Jing was puzzled.

"Big sister, are you going to fish? No, fish for trees?"

Lan Lan's face quickly showed a look of realization, and she murmured. Xiao Jing, who was standing by, felt relieved after hearing this, so that's it.

After Zi Xuan extended her finger, the half-bush began to shake after a while. Slowly, it moved towards the three people, as if an invisible hand was dragging it over.

"This..." The two of them were stunned as they watched Zixuan's performance.

When the tree canopy moved to about the middle, Zixuan smiled and said, "Is it time to wrap up? The show is over!"

After she finished speaking, she raised her right hand, and the half of the bush flew into the air, flying towards the three people.

This scene is very similar to fishing! Or, isn’t this fishing?

When the shrub flew close to the three people, Zixuan grabbed it in her hand.

Zi Xuan raised the bush in her hand and said with a smile, "Now, do you still think that the old man fishing with a straight hook must be a being above the Spiritual Transformation Stage?"

The two shook their heads and said nothing.

This fishing method requires condensing spiritual power into a thread, and then using spiritual power to sense and "hook" the fish swimming nearby out of the water. Although this still requires skill, it is obvious that this does not seem to require too much spiritual power.

"Therefore, the level of realm is not the key. The key is to master the spiritual power, to receive and send it from the heart, and to be smooth and free."

Zi Xuan thought for a moment and sighed, "To be honest, I have always admired that old man. He completely integrated his spiritual power into the fishing line without leaking it at all. Even I have no way of detecting it. It is hard to figure out. He is truly an expert."

Zi Xuan expressed her feelings for a while, and then told the two of them how to control spiritual power. Although she was not perfect yet, at least her experience was worth learning from.

……

The three of them chatted about the topic of cultivation for dozens of minutes before finally ending the topic.

"You must remember that nowadays we must better integrate into human life, and we must not slack off in our practice!"

Zi Xuan suddenly thought of something, her expression darkened, and she said quietly, "You still need to work harder and strive to break through the Spiritual Transformation Stage as soon as possible..."

"Sister, are you thinking about us going back again?" Lan Lan asked when she saw this. "Yes!" Zi Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "If I say I don't want to go back, that's a lie!"

"We don't belong to this world after all!" Xiaojing thought for a while and nodded.

"Xiao Jing, I think that's because you haven't integrated into the life?" Lan Lan said with a smile. From her words, it can be seen that she seems to enjoy her current life.

Zi Xuan frowned and continued, "Xiao Jing's words make sense. The life of a mortal is only a hundred years. For us, this time is too short. They are just passing by..."

For the demon cultivators, their life span may vary due to their race or cultivation, but it is still much longer than that of ordinary humans. After the demon cultivators reach the Jindan stage, their life span is about 1000-5000 years, the Yuanying stage is 5000-10000 years, and the Huashen stage is more than 10000 years.

"A passing visitor? This..." Lan Lan's expression changed slightly, and she could only nod in acknowledgement.

Zixuan naturally knew what Lanlan was thinking. She sighed in her heart that Lanlan might have really integrated into the human world and liked this kind of life.

However, she still tried to comfort him, "Doesn't the human race have a famous saying? Ten thousand years is too long, we should seize the day! Why think so much? The three of us sisters live in the present, and we are free and easy with the world as our companion. No matter what the future holds, we will have no regrets!"

Ten thousand years is too long, we must seize the day! Lan Lan chewed over Zi Xuan's words carefully, and her heart suddenly felt much better.

"If there really is a day when we can go back." Xiao Jing suddenly remembered something and said softly, "Maybe, we can also take the people we care about with us!"

"This?" Zi Xuan's eyes lit up and she pondered, "Maybe it's really possible!"

“However, no matter what, Zixuan and I still have to reach the Spiritual Transformation Stage.” Lanlan sighed, “Only then will we go to the three major ruins again! Otherwise, the risk is too great…”

After hearing this, Zixuan and Xiaojing fell silent.

The three ruins mentioned by Lanlan may be the only remaining unknown world after their painstaking search, or they may be their hope to return to the Middle Thousand World.

Initially, after the three of them entered this world by accident, they have been trying relentlessly to find the way back.

The search lasted for more than 20 years. During this period, the three found some space relics left by ancient times and collected a large number of spiritual stones and treasures.

However, there are three mysterious space ruins among them, which Zixuan and the other two were unable to fully explore.

In one of the places, because the space was too large and the climate inside was extremely bad with constant storms, Xiaojing and Lanlan's spiritual power was severely depleted, so they did not go deeper.

The other two places, one of which was named Changbai Ghost Cave by Lan Lan. Changbai Ghost Cave is located in Changbai Mountain, with a heavy yin energy and many ghosts, but more importantly, there are too many high-level cultivators. Soon after the three of them entered, Zi Xuan discovered two ghosts in the early stage of transformation.

Zixuan was fine, and she might be able to save her life. But Lanlan and Xiaojing, two Nascent Soul cultivators, were too far behind in realm, and they would never be a match for the Spiritualization cultivators. Therefore, if they were not careful, they might be killed. So, Zixuan naturally did not dare to take such a big risk, and they returned directly at that time, which could be said to be giving up halfway.

The other place was the mysterious Shuzhou ruins that Zixuan had discovered. At first, Zixuan had triggered the formation restriction and almost died. Later, for the sake of caution, Zixuan waited until Xiaojing and Lanlan met up, and the three of them went in together. Although the three of them worked together and racked their brains to break the formation restriction outside, they only explored the outer layer of the ruins and did not actually enter.

Because, soon after entering the ruins, they found that a huge gate a thousand feet high was blocking their way, and they could not go any further.

This huge stone gate was made of the meteorite they were familiar with. A huge hexagram pattern was engraved on the gate, which obviously blocked the space passage leading to the interior.

Zixuan and the other two were unwilling to give up. They joined forces to try to break the spell with force. All three of them used transformation and stimulated the power of their bloodlines. However, they only shook the stone door slightly, but it was far from opening it. Zixuan suspected that they should all reach the Spiritual Transformation Stage before they could try.

However, after the three of them came out, they felt a little scared. They didn't know if there was any scary existence inside, so they were too bold to try it rashly.

Time flies. It has been another 10 or 20 years since they last explored the three ruins. Over the years, Zixuan and her friends have always dreamed whether there is the answer in these three ruins - to find the way home?
