Chapter 825: Sensing The Opportunity (I)
Li Xuanfeng and Lingu Rao paused above the shimmering blue waters, not venturing any farther. While Lingu Rao focused intently on the scene, Li Xuanfeng began to ponder, Since Yuan Xiu, Qiushui, and the others are already in the great void and are likely even watching directly over Chengshui Tomb. Why do we need to investigate? This blue water must be some anomaly caused by the Great Ning Palace. There must be another reason we were sent.
As he was thinking, Lingu Rao glanced twice at the blue water below and sent a mana transmission, "Fellow Daoist Xuanfeng, the waters above Chengshui Tomb have transformed into Converging Water. They’re certainly unnatural."
Li Xuanfeng considered the matter for a moment as he examined the luminous blue water amid the dark mist, then asked, "Could it be related to the dragon species?"
"Perhaps not the dragon species exactly..." replied Lingu Rao.
The Lingu Family originated from Mount Yue and was one of the rare families not descended from northern migrants. As native southerners, they had their own inherited knowledge.
Lingu Rao said quietly, "You may not know, but the Gao Family, now known for their True Flame, originally rose from the shores of Yan State’s Converging Sea and had a lineage tied to Converging Water. Even the Tuoba Family once attempted to seize the Converging Water and Water Mansion lineages. My concern is that transforming the entirety of Chengshui Tomb into a Converging Water marsh would take immense effort, even for Purple Mansion Realm cultivators—unless a special spiritual artifact is involved. Why go to such lengths?"
With such doubts weighing on them, one pondering the motives of Purple Mansion Realm cultivators, while the other speculated about northern cultivators, the two refused to proceed farther north.
Li Xuanfeng activated his perception technique, golden light glinting in his eyes as he scanned the clouds, and asked, "Do you know what Dao lineage the royal descendants of Ning State cultivate?"
Lingu Rao thought for a moment and replied, "They cultivate the True Essence. They even have a realm called Anhuai Heaven hidden within the great void. At their peak, they had several Purple Mansion Realm cultivators. Whether they ever produced a True Monarch... that, we cannot say for sure."
