Chapter 1587 Springtime Romance on the Journey
The next morning, Liu Changxu had just woken up when he suddenly found himself on the deck of the flying boat, eager to admire the beautiful morning scenery of the immortal realm.
Unfortunately, the boat was moving too fast. The beautiful scenery of green mountains, ravines, and flowing clouds that had just come into view was instantly transformed into streaks of light and shadow and rushed backward, so fast that there was no time to appreciate it.
At this moment, all he could see and appreciate was the azure sky above and the red sun rising above the sea of clouds.
Looking up at the sky, Liu Changxu couldn't help but sigh. Since embarking on the path of immortality, he had been single-mindedly focused on improving his cultivation and climbing the Great Dao. He spent most of his time striving for greater cultivation, intentionally or unintentionally neglecting many precious moments along the way. Now that he truly stands at the pinnacle of the world, all he can appreciate is the sky above his head.
Just as he was getting excited, a delicate and elegant fragrance drifted from behind him. Liu Changxu turned around at the scent and saw the stunningly beautiful Xiao Yuxianzi.
When Xiao Yu saw him turn around, a gentle and charming smile immediately bloomed on her exquisitely beautiful face, which possessed both purity and liveliness as well as gentleness and allure. She softly bowed and said:
"Disciple Xiao Yu greets Martial Uncle."
"Yes, good morning."
Liu Changxu replied with a smile:
He then slightly raised his gaze and asked gently:
"Yu'er, you've come to see me so early, is there something you need?"
"I had nothing to do, so I came out to the deck to relax. I happened to see my master here, so I came over to greet him."
Xiao Yu smiled and answered softly:
Upon hearing this, Liu Changxu nodded slightly and said calmly:
"Since there's nothing else, I'll head back now."
With that, he turned to leave.
"Uncle-Master, please wait a moment. I have some doubts while comprehending the laws recently. I wonder if you could give me some guidance?"
Xiao Yu quickly called out to him softly, her bright eyes instantly radiating charm. Even Liu Changxu, who was used to seeing stunning beauties, couldn't help but feel a surge of passion upon seeing her.
Looking at the expectant look in Xiao Yu's eyes, Liu Changxu knew in his heart that this stunning beauty had probably already developed feelings for him, and he couldn't help but feel a little smug.
He reached into his storage bracelet and took out two cushions, placing them on the smooth deck, and said softly:
"Sit down and let's discuss this further!"
As he spoke, he sat cross-legged, his posture relaxed and composed.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu was overjoyed and quickly sat upright on the prayer mat beside him, humbly seeking guidance:
"I specialize in the Wood Attribute Law, and now I have reached perfection in the Wood Attribute Law. However, I am still struggling to grasp the fundamental law of Wood and have been unable to comprehend it. I hope my senior uncle will be kind enough to enlighten me and help me resolve my doubts."
Liu Changxu looked gently at the beautiful woman beside him and said softly:
"The wood attribute laws that ordinary cultivators comprehend are merely following the natural flow of plants and the growth of branches and leaves, which is superficial and cannot be considered the fundamental principle of the Great Dao. Your current perfect wood attribute laws are just like that, yet you have yet to reach the source."
Xiao Yu nodded repeatedly in agreement, her gaze toward Liu Changxu growing even more ardent.
"The essence of a tree lies not in its lush branches and leaves, nor in its abundant flowers and fruits, but in its continuous cycle of life, decay, and prosperity."
Liu Changxu's voice was calm and steady as he slowly revealed the true essence of the fundamental laws:
"Spring brings forth life, summer fosters growth, autumn harvests, winter stores away; plants wither and flourish, all things die and are born. Only by seeing through life and death, withering and flourishing, can one unlock the door to the essence of wood." He raised his hand and pointed to the endless forest faintly visible beneath the drifting clouds on the horizon, continuing:
"You are only pushing the power of life, only pushing the plants to flourish, only knowing life and not death, only knowing growth and not decay, and being obsessed with eternal prosperity. This is naturally contrary to the way of the original law."
“Disciple…Disciple has indeed been focused on seeking the power of life and has never comprehended the Dao of Desolation.”
Xiao Yu seemed to suddenly realize something, and replied in a deep voice:
"The two extremes of the Great Dao give rise to and integrate with each other."
Liu Changxu closed his eyes slightly, and his body faintly emitted fluctuations of two completely opposite fundamental laws: vitality and decay.
"The essence of wood is half vibrant life, nourishing all things; half silent decay, settling into profound essence. The cycle of prosperity and decline, and the cycle of decline and rebirth, is the true essence of the fundamental law of wood."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu felt all the doubts in his heart instantly clear up. The confusion and bewilderment that had been stuck at the gate of the Wood Origin Law for many years were swept away, and all the things that were unclear during his past arduous cultivation were suddenly understood.
She closed her eyes and focused intently on comprehending the power of the wood element within her body, causing the two fundamental laws representing vitality and desolation to quietly swirl around her.
After meditating for nearly two hours, Xiao Yu finally stopped emitting the fluctuations of the laws emanating from his body and slowly opened his eyes, which had been tightly closed.
At this moment, Xiao Yu's gaze toward Liu Changxu was filled with admiration and gratitude.
"A single word from my master is worth more than a hundred years of arduous cultivation."
Xiao Yu said with great gratitude:
“In the past, I was obsessed with pursuing the way of life, not knowing that decay is also the foundation of the great way of wood. Now I finally understand that the cycle of life and death, the cycle of flourishing and decay, is the true foundation of the great way of wood.”
Liu Changxu smiled and nodded, his gaze gentle as he said:
"Once you grasp this principle, you will be close to comprehending the fundamental laws of wood."
Xiao Yu nodded gently, moving slightly closer. She lowered her eyes shyly and softly thanked her.
"If it weren't for my uncle's careful guidance, I don't know how long I would have been lost. I will always remember this kindness."
The rising sun cast its rays, making Xiao Yu's shy and charming appearance even more beautiful and captivating. Her deep affection was hidden between her brows and eyes, tender and undeniable.
Liu Changxu smiled calmly and said:
"It is common for fellow practitioners to offer each other guidance during their spiritual practice. Your ability to comprehend this principle is entirely due to your own good fortune."
"Without the guidance of my senior uncle, I don't know how long I would have been confused. I hope that my senior uncle will take good care of me on my future path of cultivation."
After speaking, she lowered her head slightly, a faint blush creeping onto her ears. All her emotions were hidden between her brows and eyes, revealed directly without any concealment.
"Very well! From now on, you can come and ask me anything related to cultivation!"
Liu Changxu replied with a smile:
After feeling the sincere affection of the beautiful woman before him, Liu Changxu accepted her kindness without any hesitation.
For Liu Changxu, if he successfully marries Xiao Yu, it will not only greatly reduce the difficulty of obtaining cultivation techniques from the Ziwei Immortal Palace, but also greatly strengthen his relationship with the Ziwei Immortal Palace. The benefits are simply too great.
Since that day, Xiao Yu has often sought out excuses to get closer to Liu Changxu.
Today, under the pretext of seeking guidance on cultivation techniques, I have come here specifically to meet and discuss the Dao with him; tomorrow, I will personally prepare an exquisite spiritual meal and present it to him for his tasting and appreciation.
With such close daily interactions and frequent visits, the feelings between the two deepened, and their relationship became increasingly intimate.
