NOVPUB"Yes, what father said is right... But I, Yunhuan, still don’t understand. With so many Immortal Ascendents and Nascent Souls in both sects, they could clearly fight the enemy at sea. Why do they only send a few cultivators to guard the West Sea Country? What exactly is their plan?"
Qin Yunhuan expressed his confusion.
Upon hearing Qin Yunhuan’s words, the voice inside the palace went silent for a moment before finally responding,
"Maybe they want to take this opportunity to train a new batch of Immortal Ascendents, or they might have other plans... The prophecy that the patriarch left about this realm is getting closer and closer. We don’t need to worry so much about it, just follow them. Out of respect for the patriarch, they shouldn’t abandon us."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yunhuan fell thoughtful.
"Alright, I know the purpose of your visit here. Take this boy back! Also, continue the search for me! Little Lingxiao is my descendant, my spiritual senses will not be wrong."
The voice inside the palace once again ordered.
"Yes, father!"
Qin Yunhuan quickly took the side of Qin Shengyong, only to discover that Qin Shengyong had already fainted at some point.
A trace of affection flashed across Qin Yunhuan’s eyes.
While it was satisfying to punish, he still had to face the fact that this was his offspring.
Even if one is a cultivator, being a parent cannot be ignored.
Moreover, the dignified Nascent Soul Cultivator had actually fainted. It was probably not just because he was punished by him and his father, but also due to his excessive self-blame which even affected his Dao-heart, leading to the emergence of the Heart Demon.
With a sigh, he quickly carried away his unconscious son, Qin Shengyong.
Soon, several Nascent Soul cultivators within the royal palace hurriedly headed towards the West Sea Country.
...
"You’re saying we should find the source of the great flood and solve the problem from there?"
Ci Wu looked at Wang Ba, his eyes slightly slanted, but his expression revealed no particular thoughts.
Wang Ba nodded and immediately appeared a little embarrassed:
"The younger generation may be fantasizing a bit. I don’t know where the great flood came from, and how it managed to submerge the Three Continents, but everything has an origin. If we understand the root of this great flood, we might be able to find a way to alleviate, or even eliminate this disaster."
Ci Wu pondered for a moment and then said, "This brings us back to the Membrane Eye."
"Membrane Eye?"
Wang Ba was a little startled, and suddenly thought of the previous encounter with the vortex that could continuously produce cyclones, when Qin Lingxiao mentioned it.
However, the other party clearly did not know much and only mentioned the name, Wang Ba was therefore not very sure what exactly the Membrane Eye was.
If you don’t understand, then ask.
"May I ask senior, what exactly is this Membrane Eye?"
Ci Wu looked at Wang Ba and expressed some surprise:
"If I’m not mistaken, the cultivation method you inherited should be the Dharma Lineage passed down from the ancient times. Hasn’t your master mentioned it to you?"
A chill ran down Wang Ba’s spine.
Once the Dharma Lineage has completed the mutual generation of the Five Elements, it’s extremely difficult to discern its origin, but he didn’t expect this monk to spot it straightaway.
Could it be that he can read minds just like Mingshan?
Wang Ba pondered in his heart, but said out loud:
"Perhaps my cultivation level is not yet accomplished, and my master has not mentioned it."
Ci Wu glanced at Wang Ba, as if knowing he was bluffing but did not expose him, instead he explained:
"The Membrane Eye, also known as the Eye, refers to places where the membrane between the inner and outer world is torn."
"Connected to the outside world, various strange phenomena are produced under the influence of internal and external phenomena."
"Wherever the Membrane Eye appears, there must be disasters, be it heavenly fire, demon wind, unprecedented water, or nation-destroying thunder… Within this sea barrier, there is a Membrane Eye that generates Yuanci, hence, this entire sea area is covered by the power of Yuanci…"
"This Yuanci, it’s produced by the Membrane Eye?" 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Wang Ba was visibly surprised.
He suddenly thought of the map in the temporary cave house of the Zhongsheng Continent cultivator.
He was a bit confused before, but now he wondered, could the black dots on the map be the location of the Membrane Eyes?
Thinking of this, he was suddenly startled, and couldn’t help but glance at Ci Wu.
"The great flood, could it have also...?"
"What you guessed is not wrong. The source of the great flood is indeed a Membrane Eye."
Ci Wu nodded slightly.
At this moment, Wang Ba suddenly remembered that back in the day at the Linglong Ghost Market in Yan State, both his Master Yao Wudi and Martial Uncle Tang Ji had mentioned that the Sect Hierarch of the Tianmen Cult had been captured to block the Membrane Eye.
He didn’t understand it at that time, but now he suddenly made the connection, and couldn’t help but ask:
"Is it impossible to block this Membrane Eye?"
Ci Wu shook his head:
"Normally, the Membrane Eye, even if not deliberately blocked, will gradually heal and recover over time. What needs to be blocked are the Membrane Eyes that appear on land."
"But the Membrane Eye at the source of the great flood... it’s deep in the extreme West Sea region, previously unknown to anyone. Even if someone knew, they didn’t take it seriously. Over time, rather than disappearing, this Membrane Eye became larger and larger. After it connected with several other Membrane Eyes around it, it became a hole that couldn’t be filled."
"Even Immortal Ascendents can’t fill it?"
Wang Ba couldn’t help but ask.
Upon hearing this, Ci Wu put his hands together in prayer, his face showing a mournful expression:
"Our Buddha Sect’s Master Xinyuan of the Xituo Continent, who was also in the Void Refinement Realm, couldn’t bear to see living beings suffer and didn’t wish to wage war with other continents with the cultivators of the Xituo Continent. He broke the prohibition on killing and violated the precepts in his heart. Therefore, when the great flood erupted, he went alone to the Membrane Eye at the source of the great flood, hoping to seal the Eye with his own body…"
"Was he successful?"
