Chapter 363: Chapter 239 Extraordinary Wisdom, Three Flowers Gathering at the Top? (Request for Subscription) _2

I must say, Shen Ying’s move of ’returning the validation,’ was cleverly executed, causing Feng Ling’er to be uncontrollably infuriated.

Previously, it was Shen Ying who was often provoked by suggestive remarks and gossip.

Duan Yun was speechless for a moment, then suddenly, he looked outside the door and exclaimed, "Murong, why have you come back?"

Feng Ling’er turned her head to look, but there was no one outside.

By the time she turned back, Duan Yun had already fled with his Dharma Image.

Shen Ying couldn’t help but remark, "Some men, upon seeing them, you just want to flee."

Feng Ling’er looked at her and said, "Let’s have a duel, right now."

Shen Ying replied, "Sure, we indeed haven’t fought for a long time, if people didn’t know better, they might think we are close!"

In the courtyard, Shen Ying clenched her fists relaxedly, while Feng Ling’er’s hand rested on the hilt of the Red Face Sword.

The battle between the women was about to erupt!

The next instant, Shen Ying’s wild Fist Power collided with Feng Ling’er’s brilliant Sword Qi, the sound dull.

They exchanged hundreds of blows in one go, shredding a plum tree to bits, yet neither conceded.

Ziyu, no, it should be Green Jade who had awakened.

After watching this scene, she couldn’t help adding fuel to the fire, "Can’t you two be more ruthless? This won’t kill anyone!"

...

Duan Yun was not aware of the women’s battle, as he was still focused on his cultivation.

Time was getting closer, and he had to exert his strength.

I must say, there’s indeed a sense of urgency like right before an important exam.

Within today, Unity of Man and Dharma must be achieved!

"Qing, I command you, we must unite today!" Duan Yun said to his Dharma Image.

The Dharma Image Qing looked down at him, with a thoughtful expression.

As time passed, but still separated by a barrier, he and Qing were not unified.

Duan Yun had to activate his Extraordinary Wisdom!

This problem must be solved quickly.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and stood up.

"Qing!"

With his will, the Dharma Image pressed against his body, bowing and kneeling in front of him.

The next instant, Duan Yun’s hand had already touched the top of her head.

"Beiming Divine Skill, activate!"

A subtle suction force was applied to the top of Qing’s head.

I must say, the Dharma Image is not really a flesh body, existing between the illusory and the real, connected to one’s own vital energy.

While absorbing Qing, Duan Yun felt like he was absorbing his own energy.

Because his True Qi was also changing.

"Increase the strength!"

The suction force in Duan Yun’s palm intensified.

Suddenly, Duan Yun and Qing both shivered.

That feeling of the unity of mind and spirit instantly penetrated their minds.

"I want to be a Hero!"

"I want to be a Hero!"

Both Qing and Duan Yun voiced simultaneously.

"Got it!"

Duan Yun’s eyes brightened.

During this moment of absorbing under Beiming Divine Skill, shivering together with the Heroic Spirit, he could feel Qing’s emotions.

Unity of Man and Dharma is about having unity of mind and spirit, sensing each other’s emotions.

Duan Yun continued to absorb!

Continued to shiver!

Green Jade, seeing the two women unable to defeat each other, lost interest and decided to observe Duan Yun.

After all, she was very interested in this Demon.

But seeing Duan Yun and his Dharma Image shivering together, even she, numbed by madness, found it perverse.

People should not...

"It’s done!"

"I have finally succeeded!"

Duan Yun suddenly burst into laughter.

"Qing, make me stronger!"

Duan Yun shouted skyward, Qing’s pigtails and cheongsam fluttered, and ripples appeared in the surrounding air.

The Fist Intent was present before the punch was even thrown!

He and Qing, had finally entered the state of Unity of Man and Dharma.

Green Jade watched this scene, puzzled, "Qing? Is his Dharma Image just a fantasy I created?"

Green Jade immediately thought it was possible!

After all, both their names contained ’Qing’!

Hmph, this Demon still pretends he’s not interested in me, who knew that it was already like this.

Duan Yun and Little Yu achieved Unity of Man and Dharma, perfecting the ultimate move "Love Unlimited".

Now he and Qing have also reached this level, can they comprehend anything new?

Extraordinary Wisdom, tell me, can you understand anything!

Sensing Qing’s emotions, he could also feel more things.

For example, initially, he knew Little Yu could become stronger and more concrete, even being able to hold him as they dealt with the poison of "Heavenly Desire Fish Dragon Transformation" because she could absorb Death Energy and was then baptized by lightning.

But Qing couldn’t yet.

She couldn’t absorb Death Energy to become stronger, so she wasn’t concrete enough.

He must find a way for Qing to become more potent.

He shivered once more on Qing’s body.

Intense shivering.

After finishing, Duan Yun opened his eyes and said, "So it turns out, what you like are lotus flowers."

"Let’s go find lotus flowers right away!"

...

The huge lake outside Yushi Town connects to several smaller lakes.

At a glance, one can’t see the end, giving the illusion of an ocean.

Now, in the cold winter days, the lake is shrouded in cold mist, making the entire lake appear even more mysterious and profound.

This lake is rumored to hold many bizarre tales, such as the giant carps that could easily devour living people, nameless water monsters that bring disaster each time they appear, and beautiful female ghosts in boxes who lure people’s souls.

At this moment, Duan Yun and Dharma Image Qing are walking on water.

After connecting mentally with Qing, he suddenly had a sensation.

It was similar to how a dog can smell a bone from afar.

Deep on the lake surface, there drifted a strange fragrance.

There lay what Little Yu needed to become stronger.

...

In the midwinter, there are no lotus flowers.

Even in the lotus fields specifically for viewing, there are only decayed lotus leaves floating.

Yet, from a cave by this lake, green lotus leaves spread out.

This place at the lake’s northern side had a broad surface that extended into a cave.

Naturally, this lakeside cave was rarely frequented by people.

Given the perpetual mist over the water and the cave entrance resembling a monster’s gaping mouth ready to devour people, it appeared gloomy and eerie, deterring even fishermen from approaching.

No one knew that this cave was quietly undergoing strange changes.

In a season when lotus flowers should have withered, there were lush green lotus leaves and blossoming lotus flowers.

These lotus flowers thrived abundantly, yet if anyone saw them, they wouldn’t feel their beauty or elegance, due to their towering and large size.

Each lotus flower was tall and big; the petals opened like gaping mouths.

Crossing these lotus flowers, the water from the lake diffused to its limit.

Deep in the cave was a space akin to a room.

In the room, a pitch-black statue was placed.

Incense candles burned before the statue.

The statue had a human body but a cat’s head, on which three iron lotuses grew.

The cat’s head was half-covered with a red cloth, like a bride partly veiling her face, appearing immensely eerie under the candlelight.

Before the statue, a Daoist nun with two black lotuses atop her head was kneeling in worship.

The figure under her Daoist robe seemed full, but upon closer inspection, it was merely skin draped over bones, akin to a skeleton.

Or perhaps, she was actually a skeleton.

"Three Flowers Lady, one of your minor Three Flowers has been seized by the Evil Demon, changing from male Dharma to female Dharma, weakening day by day."

"Lady, please bestow your Divine Skills, and allow me to reclaim that Primordial Spirit Lotus from the Evil Demon."

"Every time I think of the Primordial Spirit Lotus you gifted being shaped by the Evil Demon, my heart aches profoundly."

"Three Flowers Lady, surely you wouldn’t want your bestowed Primordial Spirit Lotus to be degraded."

As she spoke, the Daoist nun recalled the stolen lotus, filling her gaze with resentful emotions.

No one knew how much she had sacrificed for the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

Just the gender alone, she had changed several times.

When refining one Primordial Spirit Lotus, she was male, but by the second, she became female, and by the third, she reverted to male.

And after one lotus was taken, she degenerated back to female.

She could no longer discern her own gender; or rather, her gender was never meant to be defined.

All these were but trials and games by the Three Flowers Lady.

"I had already achieved Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, just needed to find a host to reincarnate through, but who would have thought, that man, appearing scholarly and harmless, was an actual Evil Demon!"

"I merely wanted to use his body to reincarnate and had plans to take good care of his friends, especially the women close to him after his death. However, I never expected that scoundrel to be so malicious, refining my Primordial Spirit Lotus."

"Three Flowers Lady, you are a noble deity; such an Evil Demon must not be left unchecked!"

Her words carried genuine emotion, tears streaming down as if to move the deity herself.

At that moment, a faint voice suddenly echoed—"So that’s how it is."

The Daoist nun turned around, only to see that handsome face she had long agonized over and resented standing behind her, watching her intently.

"Ghost ah!"
