Chapter 305: A Hidden Paradise
Yun Feiyan looked at the young man in front of her with a strange expression, sizing him up and asking with a smile, "Do you really enjoy kissing?"
"Yes!" Xiao Yun replied with a grin, his eyes fixed on Yun Feiyan's plump, seductive red lips.
A gentleman treats others with sincerity; he couldn't lie in front of such beauty.
Looking at the woman's smile was like watching flowers bloom right before his eyes, and hope was clearly within reach.
One might ask those wealthy and handsome men who rely on their prestigious family backgrounds or the immense power of their ancestors, thinking they can attract any beauty in the world—can you really have an intimate encounter with a beauty from the Tang Dynasty?
And to kiss a beauty from the Tang Dynasty...
Hehe, looking across the world, it seemed only Master Xiao could achieve that.
Grasping hope, he would never let go!
"But you like it, I don't!" The woman chuckled and turned to leave.
Ah! Xiao Yun felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, chilling him to the core.
He grabbed Yun Feiyan's hand and said with a mournful face, "Beautiful sister, please consider my pride. If you don't give me this chance, my heart will shatter!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the nearby women burst into laughter. One of them said, "Sister Feiyan, look at his pitiful little face; just give him a break!"
Yun Feiyan seemed to smile with a hint of reluctance and said, "Indeed, you are truly a disciple of Wu Daozi, full of lustful thoughts. Well then, come here!"
Xiao Yun hurried over eagerly. Yun Feiyan continued, "Next time when no one is around, I will definitely kiss you. This time you brought these people along; it would be embarrassing for me to kiss you in front of them. Let's go, your friends are calling for you!"
"You... are you lying to me?" Hearing her say this, Xiao Yun felt utterly disappointed.
"I'm not lying to you; we will meet again in the future."
Yun Feiyan leaned closer to his ear and whispered, "When that time comes, I will give my body to you!"
Xiao Yun exclaimed in delight, "Is what you're saying true?"
"Of course it's true. Now hurry and go!"
After saying this, the woman extended a finger and poked him hard on the forehead. Xiao Yun stumbled back two steps, feeling dizzy, and indeed heard a chorus of voices behind him:
"Xiao Yun, what's wrong with you?"
"Hey, have you been possessed or something?"
"Brother, wake up!"
A few people saw Xiao Yun staring at the mural of the fruit girl, looking like a statue with his eyes shining brightly but his body completely still. They thought he must be under some spell and tugged at his sleeve while calling out to him.
I didn't expect my brother to be so lecherous; just a mural of a fruit girl has made him lose his senses, Cheng Hu thought.
Little Bell wondered if this brat hadn't been close to women for a long time. Sigh, it seems I need to personally help him regain his vigor!
Xiao Yun suddenly came to his senses, realizing he was standing in front of the mural in a daze.
"Damn it, what was supposed to be a world-shocking kiss that would go down in history has been ruined by you bunch!"
Wiping the sweat from his face, Xiao Yun felt a surge of frustration and was about to teach them a lesson when suddenly, the mural on the cave wall shattered into pieces, crashing down all around.
The Painting Saint Wu Daozi from the Tang Dynasty had created countless works, yet none of his true pieces had survived through the ages. Now, just as they had finally discovered a mural in this cave, it vanished in an instant.
As the mural disappeared, darkness enveloped the stone chamber.
The Old Village Chief had never witnessed such an extraordinary event and exclaimed in panic, "Xiao Yun, what... what happened?"
"Don't worry, it's nothing!" Xiao Yun said confidently. He turned on his flashlight and directed the beam onto the wall, where four characters appeared:
——Forbidden Area in the Cave!
Everyone followed the beam of light from the flashlight and saw those four characters at the same time.
But just then, those four characters suddenly emitted a blinding light and vanished in an instant.
At the same time—
Creak—Creak...
With a heavy sound, the wall transformed into two doors that slowly opened to either side.
As the stone doors parted, another stone chamber revealed itself before their eyes.
Inside the stone chamber, strange rocks were scattered everywhere, with radiant light swirling around, creating a hazy mist that changed colors like a rainbow, dazzling and mysterious like gemstones, both sacred and enigmatic.
Everyone stood at the entrance of the stone chamber, stunned.
Xiao Yun stepped forward and entered the chamber.
The people behind him wanted to follow, but they were forcefully blocked by the roaring Green Light that surged like ocean waves, preventing anyone from stepping closer, including Little Bell.
They noticed that once Xiao Yun entered the stone chamber, he was quickly enveloped by a peculiar light. At the same time, a rainbow-colored glow emanated from him, merging rapidly with the surrounding light, which then poured into his body like an unending tide.
Gradually, Xiao Yun appeared to become transparent, merging completely with the light in the stone chamber until everyone could no longer see his figure...
"Ah, has Xiao Yun been swallowed by that light?" Old Village Chief exclaimed in shock.
Little Bell smiled brightly and said, "Old Village Chief, don't worry. Xiao Yun will be fine; he'll appear again shortly."
Little Bell was extremely excited inside. She knew that the rainbow-colored Heart Pearl within Xiao Yun was merging with the powerful Spiritual Energy in this chamber, becoming one with him. This was akin to a rebirth, and soon a brand new Xiao Yun would emerge.
The new Xiao Yun would be even stronger. She thought to herself that she needed to find a time to cultivate together with this guy to quickly recover some of the lost abilities of her Spirit Bird using his Spiritual Energy.
At the same time, Little Bell understood why she and the two women from the Demonic Sect had been trapped in the protective array at the foot of Panlong Mountain. It turned out that this powerful protective array was formed due to the Spiritual Energy present here, granting it such strange magical power.
With her ancient spiritual bird instincts, Little Bell sensed the cause and effect of these events, while everyone else remained completely bewildered by what was happening before their eyes.
Old Village Chief and Cheng Hu had never witnessed anything so extraordinary in their lives. Faced with Xiao Yun's sudden disappearance right before them, they were left speechless and deeply shocked.
"Little Bell, can you... can you tell me what is going on?" Old Village Chief asked with a trembling voice.
The people nearby were struggling to breathe, their feelings mirroring those of the Old Village Chief as they eagerly gazed at the little bell, waiting for her to unveil the mystery.
The little bell, lacking any ulterior motives, simply replied to the Old Village Chief's question: "Isn't this place called Painted Immortal Village? The Painted Immortal refers to the Painting Saint Wu Daozi from the Tang Dynasty. Xiao Yun is actually a disciple of Wu Daozi, and he possesses the Seven-Colored Heart Pearl gifted to him by the Painted Immortal. Only he can enter the Spirit Chamber and merge with the Spiritual Energy inside..."
Upon hearing this, the Old Village Chief's eyes widened in shock. It turned out that Xiao Yun was not only a descendant of a great hero but also a disciple of the Painted Immortal.
Cheng Hu pulled Red Sister aside and whispered cautiously, "Master said my brother is a disciple of the Painting Saint from the Tang Dynasty. Do you believe it?"
"I believe!" Red Sister said with an expression of infinite admiration as she looked at the light within the Spirit Chamber, her conviction unwavering.
"Since you believe it, then I will too," Cheng Hu continued. "From now on, after we leave Panlong Mountain, we must never speak of this matter regarding my brother to anyone!"
"Why not?"
"Others will think we are delusional."
Meanwhile, the Old Village Chief was addressing those around him: "As for what happened tonight, we must not speak of it outside."
"Why?" White Cat asked curiously.
The Old Village Chief replied seriously, "Think about it: Xiao Yun is actually a disciple of Tang Dynasty's Painting Saint Wu Daozi. If this news were to spread, what kind of reaction would it provoke? Rare things are precious; he might become a national treasure and could even attract some ill-intentioned countries to send experts to capture him for secretive research..."
Everyone realized the seriousness of the Old Village Chief's words. Only the little bell remained unconcerned, thinking to herself that this brat was her man; who would dare to lay a hand on him? She would take them down!
Little did they know that the little bell herself was also a rare being!
At this moment, Xiao Yun was standing in the stone chamber, though no one else could see him.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, eyes closed, feeling the flow of Spiritual Energy within his body. His limbs felt as if they were being reborn, bones and joints like seedlings in a rural field, rapidly growing after receiving nourishment from water—he could clearly hear the chirping sounds emanating from within himself.
Although Xiao Yun had his eyes shut, he could see the myriad Meridians in his body, rushing and roaring like the Yangtze River. In his Dantian, a ball of scorching flame bloomed like a flower, gradually unfurling.
The various sounds coming from his body merged with the surrounding Spiritual Energy, creating an incredibly beautiful melody that drifted in his ears...
"Look! Xiao Yun has appeared again!" Black Fox exclaimed in surprise.
Indeed, in the brightly lit stone chamber, Xiao Yun's entire figure gradually reappeared before everyone's eyes.
Old Village Chief called out with equal astonishment, "Xiao Yun!"
Xiao Yun paid no attention to the calls from others; he surveyed the surroundings of the stone chamber and realized that it was not a closed space. In the center, there was an exit that led to a cliff, which appeared as a horse's mouth when viewed from below the mountain.
Standing at the cave entrance, Xiao Yun also discovered that his Spiritual Sense had returned to normal. He saw that directly across from the entrance was the Grand Canyon where Qiu Yue cultivated Spiritual Flowers.
No wonder the soil there was so unique; it turned out that the Spiritual Energy here was perfectly projected onto that location.
Just as Xiao Yun was about to exit the Spirit Chamber, he suddenly noticed a poem inscribed on one of the walls:
—The treasures of nature gather Spiritual Energy, while the Spiral Dragon awaits its time to soar; return to me the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror of Huaxia, where spring breezes blow through the painted universe.
Wow, Xiao Yun thought upon seeing it—wasn't this written by that Old Man for him?
The old man was reminding himself that after finding the Spiritual Eyes, he must not forget to rush to the Island Nation to retrieve the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror of Huaxia.
It turned out that Wu Daozi had anticipated he would come here.
He walked over and wiped his hand across the wall, causing all the words to disappear.
As for the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror, he certainly had to retrieve it; how could a treasure of Huaxia be carelessly left in Japan?
At this moment, Xiao Yun felt as if he had been reborn, his steps particularly light, filled with boundless strength.
He led the Old Village Chief and others out of the cave, then took out the red thread given to him by the Eighteen Daughters of Hong and placed it around the entrance of the cave. With a sound of a ding, the red thread immediately merged into the ground, becoming invisible.
Boom!
A stone door sealed off the entrance.
From the outside, it appeared overgrown with various weeds, as if there had never been a cave here at all.
Xiao Yun did not expect that tonight he would so easily find the Spiritual Eyes—something that the Japanese invaders had tried every means to obtain.
Xiao Yun recalled Takahashi Yukiko and couldn't help but sneer inwardly. He thought that this flower of the military from the Island Nation looked quite good. Since she had traveled such a long distance to come here, he might as well not treat her poorly. He could simply keep her by his side for his own use.
He suddenly remembered a saying by some famous person: For someone with great confidence, tomorrow is always beautiful! The Pinnacle of Elegance has been updated.
