There's Something Wrong With My Immortal Path

Chapter 135: The Crane Asks the Immortal, the Water and Fire Dualities.

Patter, patter.

In the cave beneath the dry well, a few drops of cold liquid fell silently.

With a swoosh!

Without any warning, a burst of crimson flame suddenly shot out from Xia Ming's palm.

Looking at the flame in his palm, Xia Ming smiled with satisfaction.

The Great Dao of Tai Tun feedbacked itself, coupled with the Blood Wheel Heaven's Gate subtly improving his physique.

With the combination of the two, Xia Ming's physical strength finally reached a new level.

With a stronger physical body, his Lower Dantian furnace would naturally become more stable.

With a stable furnace, he would be able to accommodate more Spirit Roots.

Therefore, Xia Ming effortlessly ignited his Fire-attribute Spirit Root.

At the moment the Spirit Root lit up, the young Master Xia skillfully began his work of duplication and pasting.

Copy - Paste.

Copy again - Paste again.

In his Lower Dantian, red diodes emerged one after another.

And so, Xia Ming began another round of arrangement and combination.

The character [雳] lit up, preparing to embed the top-grade Fire Spirit Root, Thunderbolt Fire.

The character [灯] lit up, preparing to embed the top-grade Fire Spirit Root, Lamp Fire.

The character [天] lit up, preparing to embed the top-grade Fire Spirit Root, Sky Fire.

The character [炉] lit up, preparing to embed the top-grade Fire Spirit Root, Furnace Fire.

The character [下] lit up, preparing to embed the top-grade Fire Spirit Root, Mountain Foot Fire.

The character [山] lit up, preparing to embed the top-grade Fire Spirit Root, Mountain Peak Fire.

...

After doing all this, Xia Ming did not rush to embed the six top-grade Fire Spirit Roots.

He had too many Water Spirit Roots in his Dantian, and embedding Fire Spirit Roots recklessly might cause trouble.

Taking out the scroll left by the Daoist, Xia Ming slowly unfolded it, his eyes showing a hint of seriousness.

Today, he was going to make a bold attempt.

After continuously studying formation knowledge and the principles of the Five Elements, Xia Ming felt that he should be able to deduce a formation at this moment.

If he embedded the Lower Dantian furnace into the formation, the power of the furnace would definitely be enhanced.

Once the furnace was enhanced, Xia Ming's combat power would greatly increase.

If he were to encounter He Niansheng again...

Would he have a chance to escape?

Hmph.

Thinking of this, Xia Ming took a deep breath and directly swallowed a first and second generation Blood Pill.

The effect of the second generation Blood Pill was not enough to push the formation, Xia Ming needed something more powerful.

As the pill entered his throat, Xia Ming suddenly felt a violent pulling sensation in his soul.

As if an unknown force was pulling his soul away from his physical body and throwing it into the clouds.

Amidst the spinning world, Xia Ming heard a clear and sharp crane cry in his ears.

[Guaguagua!]

[Zhao Liuche, you're here!]

Flapping its wings, Crane Six approached affectionately.

Gently patting Crane Six's wings, Xia Ming's gaze turned to several white cranes not far away.

Crane Nine was whispering something to Crane Big, occasionally stealing glances at Xia Ming, clearly plotting something.

As for the other immortal cranes, they were either strolling around or playing, and one was hiding behind a cloud, curiously observing him.

Looking at everything in front of him, Xia Ming's conjecture became more and more certain.

Regarding the mysterious Goldfinger, Xia Ming summarized a few points of experience:

Seeing Mu Chuan's situation meant that Goldfinger had been activated, and Mu Chuan was the first layer of Goldfinger.

When the effects of the first and second generation Blood Pills overlapped, the negative multiplied by the negative became positive, making Goldfinger's abilities stronger, even able to see through the Dao.

But in this situation, Goldfinger would also pull him into this "Immortal Crossing" illusion.

Immortal Crossing was the second layer of Goldfinger.

In the first layer, Mu Chuan would not have any hostility.

But in the second layer, this group of cranes was quite threatening.

...

Xia Ming knew that if he wanted to make the most of Goldfinger, he really had to establish a good relationship with these immortal cranes.

His eyes turned, and with a sweep of his peripheral vision, Xia Ming indeed discovered a twisted depression in the air.

Xia Ming knew that it was the enlightenment opportunity he had been longing for.

Embracing Crane Six's neck, Xia Ming spoke loudly.

"Crane Six, do you want to go somewhere else and have some fun with me?"

Upon hearing Xia Ming's words, Crane Six immediately became spirited.

[Let's go! I'm suffocating in this bird place! Zhao Liuche, let's go!]

With Crane Six's shout, the other immortal cranes also looked over.

Xia Ming climbed onto Crane Six's back, then turned his head to look at the crane shadow behind the clouds.

"Let's go together?"

Hearing Xia Ming's voice, Crane Six looked over and immediately shouted loudly.

[Crane Seven! Let's go together!]

Finally, Xia Ming, with two immortal cranes, plunged into the depression.

Crane Nine followed swiftly, but it missed.

Looking at the disappearing Xia Ming, as well as Crane Six and Crane Seven.

Crane Nine's face was filled with disbelief.

Who exactly is this Zhao Liuche?

He can actually leave Immortal's Crossing with the immortal cranes!

...

At this moment, Xia Ming, accompanied by two immortal cranes, was wandering in an unfamiliar world.

It seemed like a rotating cylinder, with endless sea of fire above and roaring waves below.

Crane Six and Crane Seven had never seen such a scene before, and they were already ecstatic.

Crane Six's wings skimmed the surface of the water, while Crane Seven plunged directly into the sea of fire.

Just when Xia Ming thought he had dealt with one of the immortal cranes, that guy happily darted out again.

With a flick of its wings, a shower of fire rained down.

Damn it!

He couldn't afford to be distracted. The effect of the Blood Pill only lasted for an hour. Xia Ming had to seize the time to comprehend.

The scene before him was the puzzle that troubled Xia Ming. How could water and fire coexist?

Gradually, this world began to rotate.

The raging waves became the sky, and the fierce fire turned into an ocean. But it didn't end there.

The rotating world began to spin rapidly, and water and fire gradually intertwined.

It was a rotating yin-yang fish, with the yin and yang chasing each other, and characters appearing one after another.

Holding Crane Six tightly by the neck, Xia Ming exclaimed excitedly.

"Crane Six! I understand! So that's how it is! Water and fire complement each other! With lightning as support!"

Seeing Xia Ming's joy, Crane Six also felt happy.

In the midst of their happiness, Crane Six suddenly remembered something important.

Then, it shouted loudly.

[Zhao Liuche! I have good news for you! Crane Da and Crane Nine went to find Zhao Daguan.]

[They wanted to report your situation, but they couldn't find Zhao Daguan! Hahaha!]

[Let me tell you, why don't I and Old Seven just take you to Tianwai Tian? Haha!]

[Since you're also surnamed Zhao, aren't you cultivators seeking immortality?]

Upon hearing Crane Six's words, Xia Ming's soul trembled.

Damn it!

These birds and cranes won't give up on sending me to heaven!

They can actually come up with such reasons to tease me?

With mixed emotions, Xia Ming grabbed Crane Six by the neck.

"Brother Crane! Have you forgotten? We once faced the true demon together! What kind of friendship is that? If I become an immortal, can I still visit Brother Crane often?"

"Brother Crane, don't you want to experience and grow together with me? We can go to many magical places, right?"

"Brother Crane, don't you want to travel around?"

Upon hearing these words, Crane Six was moved. Immortals wouldn't fool around with it.

In that case, it didn't matter if Zhao Liuche didn't become an immortal.

If he became an immortal, who would accompany me to play?

As Crane Six had this thought, Crane Seven also shouted loudly.

[Zhao Liuche! Zhao Liuche! Don't forget about me!]

"That's right! The three of us will be a team from now on! Hahaha!"

Crane Six: [Hahaha!]

Crane Seven: [Jie! Jie!]

...

Slowly opening his eyes, Xia Ming took a deep breath.

He gained a lot from this trip!

First, he won over Crane Six and Crane Seven. With them, he had some confidence in taking Immortal's Crossing.

Nine immortal cranes, two companions, Immortal's Crossing could completely become his enlightenment place!

Goldfinger still couldn't surpass him!

In his pride, Xia Ming didn't forget the biggest gain of this trip.

The Water and Fire Dual Formation!

After taking a Quiet Divine Pill, Xia Ming adjusted his state to the best level.

Then...

He began to embed the Water and Fire Dual Formation!

This meant that the previously embedded characters had to be changed.

Every change felt like digging into his bones.

After adjusting the Water Spirit Root, Xia Ming had become a water person.

The intense pain made his soul feel like it was about to shatter.

However, this was just the preparation work.

Embedding the Fire Spirit Root was also a form of torture.

When he embedded the first top-grade Fire Spirit Root, the surging fire spiritual energy rushed over.

The violent flames instantly engulfed everything around him.

From a distance, the abandoned dantian looked like it was spewing fire.

Smelling the scent of his own flesh, Xia Ming felt like he was about to die.

Helpless, he could only dive into the dark river below.

Sinking into the depths of the dark river, Xia Ming continued to embed the remaining top-grade Fire Spirit Roots.

Then, the dark river boiled.
