Chapter 2779: Water Palace
Skeleton roared, its bone spear pointed towards the sky. A wave of foul-smelling gray mist spread out in all directions. 。The cultivators closer to the miasma screamed, "My heavens, what is this thin...“Put your illusion away, it’s just an arm. See, things look better now.” Xiang Qingcheng glared at the phantom of her arm as it transformed.
The broken-armed man obediently put away the phantom.
"Since I broke through to the Great Ascension Realm, I've noticed a sealed area in my sea of consciousness. I've always wanted to unlock it, but I couldn't find a way in. However, when my realm was lower, every time I tried to recall past events, I would get a splitting headache. Now it's better, the reaction isn't as intense as before."
Xiang Qingcheng looked seriously at the armless man and said, "Perhaps you can tell me about your past now. The more I endured, the more curious I became. Sometimes I was even disturbed by it, to the point of being unsettled. During this ascension to the Great Accomplishment tribulation, some fragments of the past almost made me unable to overcome my heart demon."
"You really want to know as soon as possible" Lu Xiaoteng asked.
Xiang Qingcheng nodded firmly, her expression resolute.
“Wait until I’ve reunited with my three previous spirit pets, and added in Wuming as well. Then we can talk. If anything unusual happens to you, I might be able to help. Right now, in this state, I don’t have much confidence.” Lu Xia Tian’s deputy primordial spirit pondered for a moment before speaking.

"That's fine," Xiang Qingcheng said, not insisting any further. Left and right wouldn't have to wait too long either.
Waves crashed and churned, the sea a vibrant blue against the azure sky. Duan Bi and Xiang Qingcheng stood on the crest of the rolling waves.

"Can you feel Wu Ming here" Xiang Qingcheng looked at Lu Xiaodao.
"It's roughly in this area. The aura is a bit chaotic, and there are other auras as well. It seems like Wuming has really gotten into trouble." Lu Xiaoxiao's deputy Yuan Shen's voice was somewhat solemn.
“Search carefully, if the Buddha Sect truly refuses to let him go, with just your severed arm and me going to the Tu**a Buddha Sect, we’ll have little success.” Xiang Qingcheng scanned her surroundings.
The severed limb darted back and forth in the void until, after several days, it hovered above the Demon Sea. It stretched out and grabbed at the void below, causing the Demon Sea to crack open instantly. The seawater surged outwards, roaring from within. Beneath the Demon Sea, a giant palace formed by a curtain of water appeared. Hidden beneath the surface, its color blended seamlessly with that of the water itself. At first glance, the palace seemed endless, stretching out into the distance. The distant palaces appeared hazy and indistinct, merging with the seawater of the Demon Sea.
“Such a peculiar underwater palace, it's simply breathtakingly beautiful, a masterpiece created by nature itself.” Xiang Qingcheng couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
“If it weren't for the fighting below being much more intense than before, I truly would have had difficulty noticing the wonders beneath.” The one-armed man said in a low voice.
Xiang Qingcheng nodded, no longer saying anything more. She just extended a finger and with a flick, the illusory shadow of a jade talisman condensed from her magic power floated towards the water curtain palace before them.
Then the jade talisman's phantom stuck to the water curtain palace, suddenly forming a vortex that spun at an alarming rate. In the blink of an eye, a huge hole appeared in the water curtain palace's pale barrier.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
With a flash of light, Duan Bi and Xiang Qingcheng each passed through the barrier in an instant.
After passing through the barrier, one could see the scene before them. Two women in purple attire, each with a sword-shaped mark on their foreheads, were attacking the lotus clone from left and right.
The two women in purple battle gear had blank, lifeless eyes. Despite this, their flying swords were surprisingly sharp. The lotus incarnation's state was definitely not good; her body was crisscrossed with dozens of sword cuts, big and small, clearly the result of a long fight with these two women. The buildings within this underwater palace had collapsed in sections. Yet, despite the powerful movements of cultivators at the Great Ascension Realm, no ripples reached the surface above the demon sea. This showed that there was indeed something extraordinary about this underwater palace.
Once Duan Bi entered this place, his divine sense intertwined with the lotus avatar's, instantly understanding the entire situation. It turned out that Mo Yan Yuan was in big trouble. The lotus avatar, seeking to cultivate the second Dantian secret art, combined with the fact that her main body had also cultivated this art to a late stage within the Buddhist sect, consumed an astronomical amount of spirit crystals—almost ten times that of an ordinary Mahayana cultivator.
Even with the vastness of the chaotic demon domain, it would be impossible to accommodate such a massive demand. As the lotus avatar's strength grew increasingly powerful, its sphere of influence began to expand beyond the Demon Sea into the boundless endless sea of demons.
It was under these circumstances that the lotus incarnation first encountered the Bingyu Luanfeng. The Bingyu Luanfeng controlled the deep sea demon butterfly, forming the Demon Butterfly Heaven Water Array. Meanwhile, the lotus incarnation had completely comprehended the Sword King realm, its strength surpassing that of the current Bingyu Luanfeng. However, the Demon Butterfly Heaven Water Array was incredibly formidable. Although the lotus incarnation, due to the nature of this level, possessed profound understanding in formation techniques, under the endless attacks of the deep sea demon butterflies, it still suffered considerable losses.
The battle between Bingyu Lanfeng and the deep-sea demon butterflies resulted in countless casualties on the demon butterflies' side. Both Bingyu Lanfeng and the lotus avatar were also injured. However, Bingyu Lanfeng did not intend to fight the lotus avatar to the death. After both sides sustained injuries, they returned to their respective places.
As the lotus clone made its way back, it encountered two women dressed in purple who blocked its path. They were also cultivators of the Sword Embryo Path, but compared to previous opponents, these two women's Sword Embryos lacked a certain agility and instead possessed a more ferocious and desperate aura. Even the lotus clone sensed that these two women in purple attire resembled walking corpses rather than living beings.
To turn a Mahayana sword cultivator into a puppet, what kind of methods are these Lu Xiaoteng's deputy primordial spirit was also extremely shocked at this moment. At this time, Lu Xiaoteng's deputy primordial spirit couldn't help but think back to the day when he completely decided the outcome with Ye Qianxun, that indifferent primordial spirit's interference. If it weren't for the presence of the main primordial spirit, how long could the lotus avatar and Ye Qianxun have resisted
It seems that these two purple-clad women and the lotus avatar share similarities in their past situations.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh... The entire void was crisscrossed with sword energy. Lianhua's split personality had previously fought against Bingyu Luanfeng, leaving her injured. Now facing the attacks of these two women in purple armor, she found herself under immense pressure and unable to escape.
Having lost his arm, the man didn't waste any time and jumped straight into the fight. He reached out with his hand, grasping at nothing in particular, as a cluster of Xuanhuo flames surrounded his palm, forming a gigantic fiery hand that lashed out towards the purple-clad woman on his left who was slightly smaller in stature.
A sword embryo, imbued with a heavy air of grievance, charged toward the flaming giant hand. The two collided without any flourish, erupting in sparks and leaving the sword embryo scattered in a disarray of sword energy.es for the time being, this is still a tremendously useful piece of information. 。Hailing from the chaotic Demon Realm, hundreds of years have passed, and another decade makes no difference. 。"It's ju...
