Chapter 307: Chapter 144: Feng Wu’s Dowry - The Secret of the Xuantian Treasure Vault

In Xu Qing’s observation, a mysterious and profound aura began to rise around Feng Wu.

Xuan stands for mystery, akin to the color blue.

Xu Qing saw Feng Wu’s fontanel open, and a figure emitting a pale blue glimmer emerged from within.

Fontanels, most pronounced in infants, gradually close as one ages.

Feng Wu had just reopened her fontanel, returning to a semblance of "infant-like innocence."

Feng Wu’s Divine Soul Manifestation bypassed the stage of "Materialization" altogether.

"It reminds me of the day when Elder Fang manifested outside the Heavenly Capital."

Feng Wu’s Divine Soul Manifestation.

Naturally, it was nowhere near as solid as Elder Fang’s, which was almost indistinguishable from a physical body.

Yet there was a similar charm between the two.

"The Annihilation Scripture is indeed formidable."

Although Xu Qing cultivates the Xuantian Visualization Method, touted as the top-tier Celestial Stars Divine View, the intrinsic Dao mysteries it contains may not necessarily be more profound than the Annihilation Scripture.

This is not surprising, for the fundamental Cultivation Methods of ordinary disciples in the Quanzhen Dao could point directly to the realms of Ghost Immortals and Martial Saints. However, their progress is slow, lacking the valiant advancement of the Supreme Treasure Books found in all the major Holy Lands.

Yet the ultimate ceiling of potential is the same for all.

On the other hand, while swift and vigorous progress with Supreme Treasure Books is commendable, it demands exceptionally high qualifications from the cultivator and also carries a high risk of succumbing to demonic possession, which is its downside.

The core Cultivation Methods of both Quanzhen Dao and the Great Zen Temple share a feature: they’re dignified and mild.

Slow in progress, but suitable for enduring cultivation, guaranteeing a not-so-low threshold over time, and equally high potential.

And less prone to being led astray into demonic possession.

As for Supreme Treasure Books, they are suitable for those with exceptional natural talent or various types of fortunes, allowing rapid advancement.

The higher the achievements gained in one’s youth, the more pronounced the benefits amidst the vicissitudes of life.

Early fame is crucial; what’s the use in gaining renown when you’re already too old to enjoy it?

Xu Qing observed the process of Feng Wu gathering her Divine Soul and manifesting it, witnessing how the Yin Energy from the Old Wutong Tree in the courtyard was converging onto her.

If Xu Qing and the Old Wutong Tree represented the integration of Yin and Yang, then Feng Wu, through the mysteries of the Annihilation Scripture, was purifying the Yin Energy of the Old Wutong Tree, achieving an effect of discarding the dross and selecting the essence.

No harm in having "Wu" (dross) in her name, it seems fitting here.

After an indefinite period, Feng Wu’s Divine Soul returned to her shell, her eyes shining with a lustrous glow.

Xu Qing was aware, this was a sign of profound Divine Soul Cultivation.

"Not bad," Xu Qing sincerely praised.

Feng Wu smiled: "I should also thank the treasure tree in my husband’s yard."

Xu Qing coughed, sensing an odd feeling.

He asked, "How do you feel now?"

Feng Wu replied, "After manifesting, it seems the whole world has changed. The physical body is both a shell protecting the Divine Soul and a form of restraint."

Xu Qing: "That feeling is both right and wrong. I’ve always wondered, at the highest levels of integrating life and spirit, whether there would be no distinction between the Divine Soul and the physical body. Gathering to form shape, dispersing to become energy, forever transforming..."

Feng Wu pondered: "Perhaps. I’ve only heard that upon reaching the Martial Saint Realm, even if one’s arm is severed, it can be reattached, or if some parts are missing, they can regrow."

Xu Qing curiously asked, "I’ve heard that there’s a Martial Saint residing in the Capital, have you seen them?"

Feng Wu shook her head: "I’ve heard from the Temple Master, that Martial Saint is over a hundred years old, unknown how much longer they might live."

She paused slightly, then continued: "The Temple Master once evaluated the people of the world, saying that the person most likely to become the next Martial Saint is the Abbott Xiong Chan of the Great Zen Temple, who has long been a Martial Arts Grandmaster, unfathomably deep. In his eyes, common possessors are simply no match."

Xu Qing had heard of Xiong Chan’s capabilities, but the foundations of the Great Zen Temple lay in the North, too close to Imperial Power, and the Great Yu Dynasty had its own Martial Saints.

Unless Xiong Chan was willing to abandon the foundation of the Great Zen Temple, he would inevitably hold back in the face of the Court’s might.

However, through his interactions with the Great Zen Temple, Xu Qing could sense Xiong Chan’s great ambition, having laid out plans in South Zhili for many years with significant potential. This man was highly astute and had always been patient and unyielding.

Xiong Chan also had a terrifying trait: the ability to correct errors.

Even though Xiong Chan initially clashed with Yan Kong and Xu Qing, he quickly adjusted his stance upon recognizing the situation, partnering with Xu Qing and rekindling the bond of sharing common insights with Yan Kong.

It is known that such personalities bear their own pride, and Xiong Chan is certainly one of them.

Yet Xiong Chan could break through this barrier, showing that his Buddhist Law is profound, delving into the concept of "selflessness."

Xu Qing asked, "Did the Temple Master mention me?"

Feng Wu smiled, "He never evaluated you before, but next time I see him, if he gives me face, he’ll surely give an assessment."

Xu Qing: "Still need to rely on your face?"

Feng Wu chuckled playfully, "Alright, alright, you’re the most formidable."

After bantering for a while, Xu Qing took his wife’s hand and said, "Good mentor, you mentioned there’s a great benefit for me once you achieved manifestation. I’ve contributed quite a bit, so what’s the benefit?"

Feng Wu couldn’t help but smile; Xu Qing was indeed amusing, showing many facets that always made one feel comfortable and joyful.

Furthermore, he never wronged himself.

She felt lucky to have met such a good man as Xu Qing, who was willing to accommodate and understand her.

She said, "Do you know of the Xuantian Taoist?"

Xu Qing’s heart skipped a beat, but he kept his expression hidden, asking, "I’ve heard a little. Why?"

Feng Wu replied, "This matter is related to the Xuantian Taoist. He obtained a portion of Chongyang True Master’s treasure and hid all his assets in the ’Xuantian Treasure Vault.’ It is because my master discovered this secret that he has been relentlessly pursued by forces like the Luo Sect and Prince Yu..."
