The spiritual power of two divine envoys directly collided—
Dazzling ethereal fireworks blossod within this dim dreamscape. The confrontation between Vermilion Bird and Cloud Tiger had been fierce over the years; now their spiritual powers clashed brutally, yet neither erged victorious.
After all, this was the residence of Mr. Tianshui.
If they truly fought, how would it end?
They had to hold back, resulting only in a "fifty-fifty draw."
"Clink, clink, clink..."
Fireworks drifted down gently, falling into the mirrored surface.
After the strike, both Vermilion Bird and Cloud Tiger didn’t look pleased. On the contrary, Red Dragon and Xuan Turtle, these two composed divine envoys, watched the fireworks and commotion from both ends of the water village.
"Fight, fight..."
Xuan Turtle whispered softly, a hint of amusent in his voice.
He looked towards Tianshui.
Sadly, the face of the Sky Divine Throne’s holder was eternally hidden behind that ripple-patterned mask, making it impossible to see his visage.
But from his serene seated posture,
Tianshui showed no sign of anger or frustration.
Reflecting, since the mont he t Mr. Tianshui, he seed like a stone Buddha, majestic and motionless, never angered, as if nothing concerned him.
Xuan Turtle had the most stable personality among the four divine envoys, yet he felt that in terms of cultivating one’s heart, he still fell far short compared to Mr. Tianshui.
Even at this mont, if Vermilion Bird and Cloud Tiger started fighting in this land of water...
Mr. Tianshui would probably remain seated, unmoved, and entirely unprovoked.
"The South Wilderness needs enlightennt."
Tianshui softly remarked, "Why don’t all four of you head south together?"
With those words,
all four divine envoys were montarily stunned. Vermilion Bird and Cloud Tiger, who had just clashed, were even more surprised... Heading south to Sangzhou Cave was not sothing to vie for—there weren’t any available spots.
"I’ve sealed Mr. Yan’s ’floor level.’"
Tianshui stated calmly, "Before you leave, don’t go looking for him, let him rest. Overusing the Divination Skill is damaging to the spirit... But I can tell you, for this Sangzhou Cave task, the Source Tower will determine the future owner of the ’Wine Spark.’"
"???"
Several stars emitted light ripples in the water village, swaying intensely.
Evidently.
The ssage from Mr. Tianshui greatly shocked them.
To directly determine the owner of the "Wine Spark"?
Silence prevailed for several seconds.
"Everyone," Tianshui gently asked, "Did you understand what I just said?"
"Understood." All of them responded.
Tianshui chuckled and asked, "If you understood, why haven’t you set out?"
Four stars quickly dimd.
This indicated that the four divine envoys had already withdrawn.
The land of water returned to its tranquility.
...
...
Mr. Tianshui still sat cross-legged, in the center of the water village.
Monts later.
The star located in the east of the water village reignited.
Red Dragon had returned.
Among the previous eting, only he maintained calmness, whether it was Vermilion Bird and Cloud Tiger’s clash or Tianshui’s announcent of the new owner of Wine Spark... his deanor showed little change.
The only variation was the spiritual ripple of the star’s light.
Among the four divine envoys, three were astonished.
If he remained composed... it would be too unrepresentative.
"Your poor acting skills, you could be more considerate."
Tianshui comnted, "If Vermilion Bird were more observant, you wouldn’t deceive him."
"I didn’t intend to deceive."
Red Dragon replied calmly, "I’m not interested in the ’Wine Spark,’ if they realize it, so be it..."
"No one can refuse the temptation of the ’Spark.’"
Mr. Tianshui smiled and said, "Perhaps you should try to compete with them for it?"
The water village remained silent for a mont.
Red Dragon unsheathed the long blade from his waist, inserting it into the water mirror.
"Teacher."
He said softly, "I only want to beco the ’Crown Bearer,’ to beco... the next you."
This calling of "Teacher" had never been uttered before anyone.
The divine envoys throughout the history of Source Tower had only addressed Tianshui as "Mr."
No one knew.
Mr. Tianshui had accepted such a disciple.
"Millions aspire to ascend the Divine Throne."
Tianshui coughed with a heavy heart, then smiled as he asked, "With your ability to reach the top, why choose to be the ’Crown Bearer’ hidden by everyone’s brilliance... No one rembers the Crown Bearer..."
"I will rember, and that is enough."
Red Dragon gently approached the teacher.
He sat down as well, placing the long blade across his lap, lowering his head within the Red Building, unwilling to see the posture of the youthful figure no longer upright after others departed.
He spoke in a low voice, "You should understand why I want to be the Crown Bearer."
Head bowed in reluctance, yet he eventually saw it... the mirror fully reflected the "aged" Mr. Tianshui; no one could resist aging, not even the Divine Throne—how could the mortal realm achieve this?
Tianshui had accompanied the Sky Divine Throne for a long enough ti.
For the remaining half journey.
Beside the throne, there needed to be a new "Crown Bearer."
"...Cough, cough, cough."
In a fit of coughing, Mr. Tianshui managed a smile: "If, after my death, you sincerely inherit the position of the ’Crown Bearer,’ my life would be fulfilled without regrets."
"..."
Red Dragon remained silent.
"The ’Extraordinary Awakening’ inside Sangzhou Cave is already 90% complete..."
Tianshui extended his hand, pressing firmly onto the shoulder of this disciple.
"You need to overlay the final link with [Deep Sea], ensuring that all living beings in the entire area complete their ’Awakening’... This is the most crucial step in the plan."
