Chapter 398 - 393: Still Don't Know Who's Getting the Better Deal
Wen Zhixi nodded, "Another reason I came here was to seek a higher level of Immortal Spirit Source, hoping to remove the Mottled Dao Rhythm that had long been absorbed into my body through cultivation.
I know the chances are slim, but I'm not willing to give up. Since I had nowhere else to go, I simply stepped into the Billions of Void Swamps.
I didn't expect that before I even found a higher level interface, you would solve this hidden danger for me. Thank you, Brother Ding."
Wen Zhixi thanked him again.
Ding Huan looked at Wen Zhixi with confusion. There were many people practicing in the Fourth Immortal Domain, and he knew because he was practicing the Great Universe Technique.
The Great Universe Technique is based on the Law of Dao Rhythm of All Things; thus, he could know by the Immortal Spiritual Energy containing Mottled Dao Rhythm as he cultivated.
The first time he knew about Mottled Dao Rhythm contained in Immortal Spiritual Energy, he didn't care, but later he felt that the Mottled Dao Rhythm had to be completely eradicated not to affect his own Great Dao.
How did Wen Zhixi know about this?
However, this woman's emotions are genuinely stable.
From beginning to end, he never saw her anxious or breaking down.
Even though her body was under his watch and he had even peeked into her Great Dao secrets, she was still grateful to him, never mentioning a word about it.
This shows how astonishing her rationality is. She must be the kind of person who wouldn't cry over spilled milk.
Considering her appearance, she must be considered the most beautiful woman in the Fourth Immortal Domain, right?
Such a beautiful woman, yet so rational and composed.
It's no wonder all the young elites of the entire Fourth Immortal Domain desire to become Taoist couples with her, because she is just too exceptional.
Seemingly catching Ding Huan's confusion, Wen Zhixi said, "You should know where I come from, right?"
Ding Huan shook his head. He really didn't know about Wen Zhixi's origins. He confirmed that she wasn't talking about coming from the Fourth Immortal Domain.
The only thing he knew was that Wen Zhixi ranked first among Array Masters, so her status must also be high.
A low status wouldn't allow one to have such high prestige among many cultivators, and likewise, at her age, she wouldn't be able to cultivate to the realm of Profound Immortal.
Especially in the Fourth Immortal Domain, where the Heaven and Earth Rules and Spiritual Energy are terrifyingly scarce?
Wen Zhixi, however, looked at Ding Huan with surprise. She was aware of Ding Huan.
Because she knew Ding Huan, she didn't find it strange that he could strip the Mottled Dao Rhythm from her body.
Ding Huan could quickly find the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye, which means he must be extremely sensitive to Heaven and Earth Rules. Not only that, but he could easily strip various complex Laws of All Things.
Otherwise, even if he found the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye, he wouldn't be able to extract it.
For Ding Huan to have been able to strip the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye and the Mottled Dao Rhythm from her body amidst the immensely complicated Dao Rhythm Laws of the Fourth Immortal Domain seems plausible.
But the fact that Ding Huan didn't know her origins seemed a bit odd.
She is not only the only daughter of the Immortal Sect Master but also ranks first among the Fourth Immortal Domain's Array Masters. Of course, there is also another title she lightly laughed off, the most beautiful woman in the Immortal Domain.
This Immortal Domain is not just the Fourth Immortal Domain, but a collective term for both the Fourth and Fifth Immortal Domains.
"I come from the Luo Tian Immortal Sect, my father is Wen Luoxu; he should be the strongest in the Immortal Domain..."
Hearing Wen Zhixi say this, Ding Huan understood some. The name Wen Luoxu seemed familiar; it was probably mentioned in passing when Shen Yi was talking to him.
What Wen Zhixi said about the strongest in the Immortal Domain couldn't be right.
Wen Luoxu must be the strongest in the Fourth Immortal Domain.
Wen Zhixi continued, "The Luo Tian Immortal Sect was named because it was founded by my father. When my father established the Luo Tian Immortal Sect, he was already a real Luo Tian Immortal..."
Luo Tian Immortal?
That's a level stronger than a Daluo Immortal. So when Wen Zhixi earlier said Wen Luoxu was the strongest in the Immortal Domain, could it be that he's also the strongest in the Fifth Immortal Domain?
"My father's cultivation is also the strongest in the Fifth Immortal Domain, but the sect was established in the Fourth Immortal Domain. Hence, when the powerful ones from the Fifth Immortal Domain came to the Fourth Immortal Domain, they were extremely careful and cautious."
Ding Huan interrupted Wen Zhixi, "Why were they extremely cautious before?"
Wen Zhixi slowly said, "Because later, my father never showed up again. They suspected that my father failed in his attempt to become an Immortal King and perished, so they gradually lost their reverence for the Luo Tian Immortal Sect."
She self-deprecatingly laughed, "They judged a noble heart with their petty minds, thinking my father would make a move against the two Immortal Domains. Thus, they established strict Immortal Domain Laws, not allowing any powerhouse to massacre the weak at will..."
"The laws of the Fourth Immortal Domain originated like this?" Ding Huan exclaimed.
It was truly an eye-opener.
He had thought some foresighted powerhouse from the Fifth Immortal Domain established these laws that play an essential role in the peace of the Fourth Immortal Domain.
It turned out to be a precaution against Wen Luoxu.
Wen Zhixi nodded, "Yes, my father did indeed extract two Low-Grade Immortal Spirit Veins from the Fifth Immortal Domain."
"Why would you come to this place of certain death, given your father's strength?" Ding Huan asked, puzzled.
A hint of sorrow flashed in Wen Zhixi's eyes, "Actually, my father was also here, and no one knew about it. In recent years, rumors of my father failing to become an Immortal King have grown rampant in the Fourth Immortal Domain.
Some even brazenly went to the Luo Tian Immortal Sect to propose marriage to me. If I didn't leave, I would be miserable…"
Ding Huan shook his head, "It's not that tragic, just a bit more constrained."
In Ding Huan's view, the man who would marry Wen Zhixi must be a standout figure from the Fifth Immortal Domain. How could such a man make her live a miserable life?
Wen Zhixi shook her head, "No, you don't understand. I am an Immortal Spirit Body, and the news that I am an Immortal Spirit Body was leaked long ago."
Ding Huan's eyes widened as he looked at Wen Zhixi, realizing he had now met two women with Immortal Spirit Bodies.
Seeing Ding Huan's shocked expression, Wen Zhixi gave a self-mocking smile, "You should understand now why there was no way out for me in the Fourth Immortal Domain.
In fact, if it weren't for my strength being at the Perfect Profound Immortal level, I would have been violated long ago. Moreover, I sought to attain higher levels of the Great Dao, so I simply chose to leave the Fourth Immortal Domain."
After speaking, Wen Zhixi calmly looked at Ding Huan.
Ding Huan had not only saved her life but had also protected her from disgrace.
These were not the most significant impacts he had on her though. The most significant was that Ding Huan had stripped away the residual Mottled Dao Rhythm within her.
For each of these, she could not repay Ding Huan.
If Ding Huan had even a slight thought of it, she would willingly give her Immortal Spirit Body to him.
But they parted calmly, owing nothing to each other.
Ding Huan was silent, pondering the commonalities between Jia Baihe and Wen Zhixi.
After a long while, Ding Huan spoke up, "Fairy Wen…"
Almost simultaneously, Wen Zhixi also spoke, "Brother Ding…"
"You first," said Ding Huan.
Wen Zhixi nodded, "Brother Ding should know what being an Immortal Spirit Body entails. If Brother Ding needs me, I will not refuse.
I have sworn an oath never to marry anyone or become anyone's Taoist couple."
Ding Huan chuckled inwardly. He was cultivating the Great Universe Technique; did he need a woman with an Immortal Spirit Body to enhance his Tao Foundation?
Sharing a bed with Wen Zhixi, he wasn't even sure who would be getting the better deal.
In his previous life in the Changyi Continent, he had survived from day to day. What kind of woman hadn't he seen?
This life, he had a clear goal.
As for the latter half of Wen Zhixi's statement, he understood it too.
It meant not to entertain thoughts of pursuing her as a Taoist couple, to avoid future awkwardness.
Indeed, this woman's demeanor was terrifyingly stable. Her words were delivered with such calmness, without the slightest ripple of thought.
Just like the times at the Immortal Sect conference, whenever he spoke with her, she was always so calm and gentle.
Such a person could be a friend, but as a Taoist couple? Better not.
Not to mention that she was unwilling, even if she were, Ding Huan himself would not be interested.
Ding Huan waved his hand, "Fairy Wen, you think too much, I have no ideas about you. I just wanted to ask, are all women with Immortal Spirit Bodies exceedingly beautiful, even excessively so?"
Wen Zhixi was startled, having never before seen a male cultivator who had no designs on an Immortal Spirit Body.
She remembered her mother telling her that no male cultivator could resist a female cultivator with an Immortal Spirit Body, regardless of where they were.
Once an Immortal Spirit Body was revealed, countless would crazily pursue you.
But why was Ding Huan so different?
It took her a long while to respond, quickly saying, "Yes, women with Immortal Spirit Bodies, even if they cultivate the wrong techniques, continually transform their appearances towards divinity.
Thus, while not all beautiful women are Immortal Spirit Bodies, those with Immortal Spirit Bodies are indeed one hundred percent extremely beautiful."
Indeed, Ding Huan realized.
Once again, Wen Zhixi bowed to Ding Huan, "Brother Ding, you are a noble and upright man. Knowing you, Brother Ding, is an honor of my life.
If it doesn't bother you, you can call me Zhixi, calling me Fairy Wen feels too distant."
"Alright, Zhixi, I wanted to ask when did your father come to the Billions of Void Swamps? I heard that a Luo Tian Immortal once came here and perished within just nine days, was it your father?"
This was something Ding Huan had heard from Shen Yi.
Wen Zhixi replied, "My father came to the Billions of Void Swamps when I had already reached the late stage of a True Immortal. At that time, my mother failed in her attempt to ascend to the Da Yi Immortal level and only a residual soul was left.
My father swore to advance to Immortal King to save my mother, which is why he chose to enter the Billions of Void Swamps. After he entered the Billions of Void Swamps, we lost contact.
After I arrived here, I sensed my father's Magical Treasure, the Nine Luns Seal. I was injured while searching for the Nine Luns Seal, and then sensed an Immortal Spirit Vein. When I was searching for the Immortal Spirit Vein, I was discovered by beastmen.
Those beastmen are the most terrifying things I've seen in my life; they could even disrupt my mind and confuse my thoughts. If I hadn't met you, Brother Ding, I would have died a tragic death long ago."
Ding Huan's eyes brightened. An Immortal Spirit Vein?
Compared to an Immortal Spirit Body, this was what truly interested him.
