Translator: AL_Squad Editor: AL_Squad
Somewhere in Nine Regions.
The fox girl was bathed in blood as she staggered into the cave. Her pretty face was covered in blood, which set off a kind of enchanting beauty.
In the cave, Senior Immortal Poxu had been waiting for a long time. When he saw her blood-covered face, he was stunned.
The Fox girl shrugged and said, “Sorry, although I’ve tried very hard, I still can’t finish it.”
Senior Immortal Poxu smiled and said, “It’s still a good job. Although you failed to kill him on the spot, Feng Yin suffered heavy damage and thus the Grand Array of Nine Regions was successfully broken. This result is enough.”
The fox girl frowned and tried to clench her fist, but her right hand trembled constantly. She said, “Actually… I had a chance to kill him. When the sneak attack came he was unprepared and as a human being, his body is extremely fragile. In fact, I could capture his jade mansion and destroy his body and spirit. But when I made my move, my right hand didn’t listen to me, as if something was holding me back.”
When he heard those words, Senior Immortal Poxu looked very restrained. He said, “Didn’t listen to you? Do you still have feelings for him?”
The fox girl laughed at herself and replied, “Still have feelings? Senior Immortal’s words really make me feel aggrieved and want to cry…”
She closed her eyes and was silent for a moment. Then she seriously said, “I was sealed by him for more than a hundred years, became like a puppet in the world of mortals. This deep hatred, even if I kill all the people in Spirit Sword Mountain by myself, it is still difficult to eliminate. If there’s still a feeling that I have, it’s the endless anger in my heart.”
With that, a few horizontal lines suddenly bloomed on the fox girl’s cheeks and a burst of fire spewed out from her body, which then turned into a few substantial tails behind her. The edge of the cave is instantly melted, showing incandescent light.
Senior Immortal Poxu laughed and patted her on the shoulder and the fire spirit of the fox girl was extinguished in an instant.
“Enough, I understand. It’s just the remnant soul of Feng Ling, not your subjective consciousness… But, how long do you plan to keep Feng Ling around?”
The fox girl said, “Soon… This more than a hundred years imprint is not that deep. It’s only an episode in my long life. For me, serving the immortal world is my lifelong mission. Senior Immortal, what are we going to do next?”
Senior Immortal Poxu touched his chin and said, “Xia Xiaohe didn’t say anything… I think it should be a free action. I want to catch someone now, why don’t you help me catch her?”
“Who is worthy of your attention?”
“w.a.n.g Wu.”
The fox girl was taken aback and said, “Hasn’t she already been trapped in the pa.s.sage, caught by Senior Immortal Yanluo?”
Senior Immortal Poxu said, “How can it be that easy? That person is my favorite collection. With Yanluo and her group of sc.u.mbags, it is easy to trap her, but it is difficult to catch her alive. But the Great Array of Nine Regions has been broken by you, so it’s only a matter of time before she is caught by Yanluo. I want you to join me and grab her from Yanluo. Such a perfect collection like her is hard to come by, it would be troublesome if she falls into the hands of other people.”
Fox girl rolled her eyes and asked, “But what if Senior Immortal Yanluo gets in the way?”
Senior Immortal Poxu glanced at her. His eyes showed a bone-chilling coldness as he asked, “Someone is getting in the way? What do you think?”
“I understand.” Fox girl quickly nodded, showing a well-behaved mannerism.
“Ok, now…” Senior Immortal Poxu held out his hand and gently grasped the vein of the s.p.a.ce. He wanted to tear the s.p.a.ce and open a channel leading to the crack in the sky.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps from outside the cave.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Senior Immortal Poxu was completely shocked, and he couldn’t help but loosen his grip on the s.p.a.ce vein. Then he turned his head and glared at the visitor with astonished eyes.
“It’s you!”
“I heard that you were looking for me, so I came.”
Outside the cave, a woman in white was holding a green bamboo. She was like a pure lotus flower, standing vividly among the mountain rocks where the lava never stopped flowing. Her cheeks were red, as if fire was reflected on them, like a lotus bathed in the fire.
“w.a.n.g Wu…” Senior Immortal Poxu narrowed his eyes in disbelief, and repeatedly examined the woman in front of him with immortal eyes. However, no matter how many times he looked, the person in front of him was w.a.n.g Wu, which had long haunted his heart.
“Why are you here?”
w.a.n.g Wu scratched her head and said, “I want to say that I miss you, will you accept it?”
Senior Immortal Poxu was extremely angry and said with a smile, “Do you think I’m an idiot?”
After a pause, Senior Immortal Poxu frowned and said, “However, it’s rare that you can escape from Yan Luo’s killing array and still look for me… Do you really miss me?”
w.a.n.g Wu clapped her hands and said, “Yes, that’s right. If I didn’t miss you, I would’ve gone back to Spirit Sword Mountain, why bother coming to this wilderness?”
“… Why do you miss me?” Senior Immortal Poxu seemed a bit hesitant.
w.a.n.g Wu blinked her eyes and said, “I want to be your collection.”
“Pfft!” Senior Immortal Poxu almost coughed. He said, “What did you say?”
w.a.n.g Wu blinked her eyes earnestly and made a sincere and pleasant expression. She replied, “I mean, I was touched by your art of collection and determined to be your collection…”
“Wait, do you know my art of collection…”
“Of course I know that. It’s the seeking of eternal way through torture and pain. The supreme power of Zen says that all living beings suffer, and you want to collect the suffering of all living beings in your collection.”
Hearing what w.a.n.g Wu said, Senior Immortal Poxu’s eyes lit up. He excitedly said, “Unexpectedly, your understanding has actually reached this level!”
w.a.n.g Wu sighed and said, “It’s because of the last time I had a fight with Senior Immortal. At that time, I felt the unique charm of the immortal spirit, which greatly inspired me and allowed me to understand the wisdom of the universe. After that, I thought, what a wonderful feeling it would be if I could put the sufferings of all living beings into my body!”
Senior Immortal Poxu was overjoyed when he heard of those words. However, the fox girl next to him coldly interrupted, “What you said sounds really absurd. The instinct of living creatures is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages and stay away from pain. However, your idea completely contradicts the nature of creatures.”
w.a.n.g Wu said, “A cultivator is a person who goes against the heaven. What is the difference between a beast and a person who can’t rebel against nature? A hybrid-looking beast like you probably can’t understand that.”
“…You’re very clever and eloquent, but although there are many cultivators who go against the heaven and like to chase pain, few are willing to be made into collections by others.”
w.a.n.g Wu said, “Isn’t that what things should be? The world is mostly filled with mediocre people. Most of the people are ignorant and worthless, not worth mentioning. But I, I am an exceptional pervert who likes to pursue pain, like to be whipped with a whip, cut with sharp tools, scalded by wax oil, and pierced through by lightning and thunder! Just think about it, if I had not been so abnormal, how could I have created the Non-Phase Method, which is purely taking a beating skill?”
“Well said!”
Without waiting for the fox girl to retort, Senior Immortal Poxu clapped his hands and praised, “I really did not misjudge you! You’re the perfect collection that I’ve been searching for all my life! Okay, let’s not waste any more time. Come and accept my training and transform into a perfect collection!”
