Free Web NovelChapter 2083: Chapter 2081: Water Fairy of the Boundless World
In the secluded space of the Spectral Sedan Chair, various figures sat quietly, some alone and some in groups of three or four, with their Mental Consciousness surging and secretly communicating.
Including Lu Ye, there were nine individuals, each with distinct auras.
Among them were two women, six men, and one whose gender was indiscernible. This figure, a strong Bewitchment Shadow from the Specter Race, appeared as a swirling phantom like flowing water, not only indistinguishable in gender by form but also by voice.
However, through Jiu Yan’s introduction, Lu Ye knew that this Bewitchment Shadow was indeed the current Clan Leader of the Specter Race!
And among these nine, only Lu Ye was at Sun Blaze Early Stage, appearing quite unique among such a group of strong figures.
Since there were only two women, aside from Jiu Yan, the other female cultivator named Su Wan naturally became close with Jiu Yan.
This Su Wan was the fifth to be captured into the Spectral Sedan Chair; she gave off a very clean demeanor with quite outstanding beauty and a curvaceous figure.
But unlike her pure aura, she seemed shrouded in layers of mystery because, among so many strong figures present, not one knew of her origins. Such a top-tier Sun Blaze should not be unknown, yet she seemed to have suddenly appeared from some obscure corner.
Jiu Yan also secretly audio-transmitted to warn Lu Ye to be cautious of this Su Wan, clearly feeling that she was not simple.
One day, Lu Ye, having nothing else to do, was chatting idly with one of the strong figures, mainly because this strong figure came from Five Colors Territory, a strong figure of the Stone Race named Chong Yue.
On the All Phenomena Ocean, Three Worlds Island maintained friendly relations with Five Colors Island, and personal friendship between Lu Ye and Mang Dang was no secret. Over the years, the Five Colors Merchants Guild made great profits on the All Phenomena Ocean, with a share of Three Worlds Island’s credit within.
The strong figures of Five Colors Territory had naturally heard of Lu Ye, the master of All Phenomena Ocean, and some Sun Blaze cultivators from Five Colors Territory even visited Lu Ye specifically to express gratitude.
With such inherent relations in place, Lu Ye and Chong Yue naturally could chat freely.
While they were talking, Chong Yue suddenly turned his head toward the door of the Spectral Sedan Chair, raising his eyebrows: "Oh? Is there another newcomer?"
He was the seventh to be captured into the Spectral Sedan Chair, and naturally knew what the opening of the door signified, having witnessed such a scene twice.
Initially, he also wanted to use this opportunity to leave the Spectral Sedan Chair, but after learning of Chen Li’s experience, he gave up.
Since the Spectral Sedan Chair captured them, it was clear it wouldn’t let them leave easily.
The others also noticed the anomaly at the door, turning to look, only to see a red silk ribbon appear out of thin air, retracting back, pulling a figure into the interior of the sedan, rolling awkwardly on the ground before hastily standing and cautiously surveying the surroundings.
Then the person froze...
This was the awkward situation nearly all newcomers faced; the interior of the sedan was already not spacious. Suddenly gathering so many strong figures, the newly arrived ones, subjected to so many powerful gazes, would undoubtedly be startled and anxious, fearing they had fallen into some perilous situation.
"Ah! Finally, a new sister has arrived." An excited voice sounded out; it was the enigmatic Su Wan, sitting not far from Jiu Yan, waving enthusiastically at the newcomer: "Sister, come over here, no need to be afraid, there’s no way to fight here."
The newcomer was a female cultivator with an extremely delicate demeanor, akin to a flower battered by a storm, evoking inevitable compassion from anyone who saw her.
Feeling Su Wan’s enthusiasm, she glanced around and realized that although there were many strong figures, none showed malice towards her, confirming Su Wan wasn’t lying.
She was about to move toward Su Wan when a voice came from the corner: "Is the newcomer the Water Fairy from Boundless World?"
The speaker was Sacred Eldest One, whose demeanor clearly indicated recognition of the newcomer named Water Fairy.
Following the voice, Water Fairy’s face lit up with joy: "Fellow Daoist Sacred Eldest One?" Quickly stepping toward that side, suddenly appearing in such a place, anyone would feel lost, and encountering a known person naturally led her to inquire about the situation.
Soon, Water Fairy reached Sacred Eldest One, as the two engaged in a Mental Consciousness exchange.
"Such a pity," Su Wan smiled and shook her head. The female cultivators here were already scarce; having a newcomer, she wanted to grow closer.
Lu Ye, however, showed a shift in expression.
Boundless World Water Fairy...
If not mistaken, isn’t this Su Yuqing’s close friend?
Back in the day, when departing from Mount Fangcun to Asura Field, Su Yuqing had given him a jade tablet, claiming it was the Water Fairy’s from Boundless World, instructing him if he encountered trouble at Asura Field, he could ask Water Fairy for help.
But during that trip to Asura Field, Lu Ye never met Water Fairy, nor knew how to contact her, so he let it pass.
Could this Water Fairy be the one?
Lu Ye felt doubtful; logically speaking, there should be only one Water Fairy from Boundless World, not many bearing the same name, especially with such cultivation.
Thinking about it, he rummaged in his storage ring and quickly found the jade tablet given by Su Yuqing.
Just as Water Fairy, speaking with Sacred Eldest One, suddenly turned her head to look at him.
The Sacred Eldest One also spoke, "The two over there, one is Lu Yiye, the master of the All Phenomena Ocean, and the other is Jiu Yan, the ruler of the All Phenomena Island. You may have heard of them; they understand the mysteries of the Spectral Sedan Chair the best, for the matter originated in the All Phenomena Ocean, and they were the first to arrive here. If you wish to know more, you might as well ask them."
"Thank you for the guidance, Fellow Daoist." The Water Fairy stood up and bowed gracefully, "I will go and inquire."
"Go ahead." The Sacred Eldest One nodded.
The Water Fairy walked straight towards Lu Ye.
As she approached, the Water Fairy first bowed, her gentle voice emerged, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Lu."
Lu Ye nodded in acknowledgment. By this time, he had already confirmed that the Water Fairy in front of him was Su Yuqing’s friend, as the aura from her matched perfectly with the residual aura left on the jade tablet.
The Water Fairy looked at the jade tablet in his hand and understood in her heart, "Was this given to you by Sister Yuqing?"
She had only given this jade tablet to Su Yuqing, and now it appeared in Lu Ye’s hand, the situation was naturally clear.
"Yes, I once went to the Asura Field, and before setting out, Senior Sister Su gave this to me and told me that if anything happened, I could ask for your attention!"
The Water Fairy asked, "May I ask, what is your relationship with Sister Yuqing?"
If they were not close, Su Yuqing wouldn’t have given her jade tablet to anyone else. But it had been many years since she last met Su Yuqing, and she hadn’t heard Su Yuqing mention Lu Ye.
Lu Ye blinked, "Dao companion."
This matter was no secret on the All Phenomena Ocean.
Jiu Yan, who had been curiously observing the Water Fairy, immediately gave Lu Ye a scrutinizing look when she heard this.
Su Wan noticed something, glanced at Jiu Yan, then at Lu Ye, and seemed to discover something amusing, her eyes brightened considerably.
"Ah?" The Water Fairy couldn’t help covering her red lips, "Sister actually found a Dao companion?"
She couldn’t help but look Lu Ye up and down, trying to see what was so special about him that could win Su Yuqing’s affection, but despite looking left and right, she couldn’t find much, and inevitably remembered the introduction by the Sacred Eldest One just now.
The master of the All Phenomena Ocean, this weighs quite heavily! She had been in secluded cultivation in the Boundless World for many years and really knew nothing about the changes in the All Phenomena Ocean. No one had ever mentioned it to her because the Boundless World didn’t have convenient interactions with the All Phenomena Ocean and lacked significant direct benefits.
"Just as genuine." Lu Ye nodded slightly, "Sister Water Fairy, please excuse me, I was punished by the Spectral Sedan Chair and cannot rise, many apologies."
Only then did the Water Fairy realize, wondering why Lu Ye had been sitting so comfortably there; it turned out there was a reason.
"The Spectral Sedan Chair... is it that strange bridal sedan chair?" the Water Fairy asked. She must have seen the Spectral Sedan Chair before being captured.
"Exactly." Lu Ye nodded.
The Water Fairy frowned for a while and then simply sat cross-legged in front of Lu Ye, "The matter this time is too bizarre, I have many things I do not understand, could you, Junior Brother, clarify a bit?" Her temperament was so soft; with a slight frown, infinite compassion arose, not to mention Lu Ye, even Su Wan, the female cultivator, felt a tremor in her heart.
"Of course."
Moments later, the Water Fairy understood various things.
"So, you all speculate that the Spectral Sedan Chair will ultimately take us to a place called the Star Abyss, and in that place, we’ll have the means to forge our own Dao foundation?" the Water Fairy asked.
Lu Ye hadn’t finished speaking before Su Wan chimed in, "That’s it, otherwise, what do you think everyone is quietly waiting here for? Now that Sister Water Fairy is here, we now have three female cultivators, let’s get closer in the future."
The Water Fairy gave her a friendly smile and looked at Lu Ye again, "This conjecture has some logic, but seems to lack solid evidence."
When others asked, Lu Ye usually wouldn’t say much, but since the Water Fairy was a friend of Su Yuqing, it was no harm to explain a bit more.
"If at first, indeed, there was no basis, then now, there is."
"How do you mean?"
"Those taken by the Spectral Sedan Chair are all Peak Sun Blaze, the strongest in their respective areas." Seeing the Water Fairy looking at him in confusion, Lu Ye explained, "Except for myself, I don’t count among them."
Beside, Jiu Yan sighed, although she didn’t see it with her own eyes, she could confirm that after being captured by the Spectral Sedan Chair, Lu Ye had certainly done something, hence he was taken in together. Speaking of which, it was she who implicated Lu Ye.
"In fact, after Fellow Daoist Chen Li, there was another called Charng Feng who was also captured. At that time, he was being pursued by another stronger individual, but the Spectral Sedan Chair only captured him and ignored the stronger one."
"Why is that?" the Water Fairy asked skeptically, "According to Junior Brother, shouldn’t the Spectral Sedan Chair capture the stronger ones?"
"It should be so." Lu Ye nodded, "But why not, if that stronger person had already forged their own Dao foundation? This may be the only explanation for why the Spectral Sedan Chair did not choose them."
