Chapter 155: Falling into the Water
Wangjiang Pavilion had been built with grandeur and style. Standing within it, one could see the vast, surging river crashing against the banks. Right by the riverside stood the Baxia stone statue.
At this time, the river wind howled sharply. When Li Yanchu and Bai Hongtu arrived at the riverside, they once again laid eyes on the statue, which was steeped in the weight of history.
Its surface was covered with scars, such as cuts from sabers and axes, as well as burns from fire, as though it had endured an incredibly brutal battle.
Li Yanchu sat atop Blackie, and his Daoist robe snapped in the river breeze as he activated his Qi Sight. A clear radiance immediately flickered in his eyes, and the world before him shifted.
Roar!
A thunderous roar echoed deep in Li Yanchu’s heart. Within his vision, the Baxia statue radiated a peculiar aura; there was a spiritual entity residing inside the stone.
“So the rumors were true. This Baxia statue really is alive.” Li Yanchu was taken aback.
Now that his Daoist cultivation had stepped into the rudimentary second realm, coupled with the many powerful treasures in his possession, the perception power of his Qi Sight had grown tremendously.
Bai Hongtu chuckled. “Interesting... A living Baxia statue passed down from this rumored Blissful Land in Wei City? That’s definitely something.”
It was thought-provoking.
Just then, Li Yanchu’s gaze swept across the crowd by the riverbank and paused slightly. Among the gathered noble sons and daughters, wealthy merchants, and common townsfolk, there were several cultivators.
“Hongtu,” Li Yanchu said, “looks like word of the living Baxia statue has drawn quite a few cultivators.”
