Without Life Force, mottled and old traces appeared on the wall, sowhat like a door panel that’s been worn over ti, with peeling paint,
resembling the dry and furrowed face of an old man,
while the Green Fish seed noticeably larger,
the Black Water sensed sothing, and imdiately, dark currents surged around the Green Fish, the currents were powerful, and amidst them, lay hidden great strength; should the Green Fish be careless, it would easily be crushed to pieces by the dark currents’ intersecting forces,
yet the Green Fish remained unhurried, and suddenly spat towards the mottled wall it had been sucking——
——a reflective substance adhered to the wall, and once it attached to the wall of the Secret Realm, it started to seep through,
as the substance completely integrated, the mottled parts of the wall were renewed, now gleaming like a mirror,
and seeing this, the Black Water seed to realize the Green Fish’s true intent and stopped restraining it, allowing the dark currents to calm...
...
Zhou Xuan felt an inexplicable sensation, as though he had lost so of his Life Force,
though the lost Life Force was minor, he couldn’t help shivering amidst the Yellow Origin’s fierce wind.
Yet, just after the shiver, he felt a strange vitality surging within him.
"Strange, what is this feeling?"
Zhou Xuan used Perception to examine his body and checked his Secret Realm once more.
Even with his strong Perception sweeping over the "reflective" wall several tis, he discovered nothing.
This layer of "reflection" seed beyond Zhou Xuan’s Perception.
"How curious."
Finding nothing through his inspections, Zhou Xuan reluctantly exited the Secret Realm, returning to the Fish Cutting Platform in Yellow Field Prefecture.
On the street, Alchemist Bai Lu, Yun Ziliang, and Li Changxun had already awakened from the "incense fire Taoist’s" hypnosis.
With no Green and Red Mist on the street and Zhou Xuan ditating with closed eyes, they understood that Zhou Xuan successfully guided the Twin Fish.
Such a happy occasion naturally spurred lively discussions, especially Alchemist Bai Lu, who was eager to personally witness the Green and Red Fish.
Yun Ziliang and Li Changxun were grinning, this master-disciple pair of Dragon Seeking had the mood to joke,
while Lu Xingzhou, unlike the others’ relaxed deanor, instead let out a "long sigh of relief."
"Ah, if Master’s Green and Red Fish had been snatched away on Yellow Field Prefecture grounds, I, Lu Xingzhou, would not know how to face Master in this lifeti."
He viewed Zhou Xuan as an honored guest; thus, ensuring the safety of the guest’s person and property within his domain was his duty.
If he failed his duty, this sowhat scholarly Bitter Ghost Master would fall into deep self-bla, and it would likely take a long ti for him to lift himself out of it.
"Luckily, everything is okay."
"Not just okay, but quite delightful."
Zhou Xuan opened his eyes, picking up where Lu Xingzhou left off.
"Master, have the Twin Fish returned to the Secret Realm?"
"Those two fish brought much vitality to my Secret Realm."
Zhou Xuan spoke, glancing around without seeing Master Wu Ya.
"Where is the Zen Master?"
Zhou Xuan asked.
Yun Ziliang pointed to the hanging fish bones not far away, saying, "There he is."
The skin, flesh, blood, and tendons of the Fish Monk were snatched clean by the people before the Twin Fish struggle, leaving only the enormous skeleton, still hanging on the Fish Cutting Platform,
Master Wu Ya sat suspended in the belly of the fish skeleton.
The eerie White Bone seed to co alive, softening and piercing through Master Wu Ya’s flesh.
Although Master Wu Ya did not scream, this punishnt that "pierces the body" caused beads of sweat to form on his forehead.
"Zen Master, why are you putting yourself through this?"
Zhou Xuan asked.
"Master, your Twin Fish, contain the ’Supre Secret’ of my fish junior, gifted to you by chance,
Now that your fortune has been realized, it is up to this humble monk to activate the Supre Secret on my junior’s bones, to allow this avatar of the Ancient Buddha nad ’Six Desires’ to seek out the next human fool to parasitize, continuing to guard the Blood God’s will."
As he spoke, Master Wu Ya chanted, with Buddha sounds rising, and the White Bone stirring within him,
creepy blood flowed from Wu Ya Zen’s body, winding continuously over the White Bone.
Zhou Xuan sighed, unable to bear watching.
"Master, do you find the reactivation of the ’Supre Secret’ terrifyingly shocking?"
"I do have such thoughts."
"The Ancient Buddha is neither purely kind nor completely evil, among the twenty-one Dharma Bodies, eleven are righteous, and ten are evil,
when connecting with a righteous body, it’s grand and dignified, like when enlightening ’Joyful Zen’, a resplendent and gracious deanor,
when connecting with an evil body, like now, it exceeds wickedness—it is more sinister than sinister, please Master, bear with it."
As he said this, Master Wu Ya imdiately recited the "Great Sun Heart Sutra," and the Fierce Sun above blazed, showering golden radiance upon the skeleton,
as the Golden Light and blood blended together, forming one "Red Gold Buddha Seal" after another; these Buddha Seals surged and converged, finally forming a large fish with a golden back and red belly,
the great fish glanced at Zhou Xuan and Master Wu Ya, then swam toward the sky.
The entire sky beca an ocean for the great fish.
"Fish junior, having been reborn, go see the human world; do not repeat those mistakes."
"Not all evil bodies are born evil, just as not all righteous bodies are born righteous, nurture your nature, be a good person, and do not let your senior suffer the pains of the body piercing again."
