Compared to the original version of "Xiangjun", or even "Lady Xiang" and "Mountain Spirit", it is sowhat different.
It... doesn’t seem sad at all.
The original "Xiangjun" is quite lancholic, but this one is rather cheerful—in the story of Xiangjun, the Xiang River Goddess, Lady Xiang, feels lost and sorrowful because she cannot find Xiangjun’s whereabouts.
But in this one.
It uses the omnipresent "spirits" to traverse ti and space, communicating with deities or elves that once existed or will exist, summoning them to co and play together.
This is to fill the void and sorrow in the heart.
It’s... quite peculiar.
In the brief ti Li Ye spent reading and practicing, he had already noticed countless spirits waving at him, with valiant and handso generals, mysterious and noble goddesses, and playful and cute elves.
They seem very eager to chat and drink tea with him, or to discuss Taoist philosophies, and they were even prepared with "gifts".
Exactly.
This "Xiangjun" divine technique summoned them to play and relieve boredom, and they brought gifts, of noteworthy quality no less.
"So, this divine technique is basically about calling friends to receive gifts, like a local gathering?" Li Ye rubbed his temples.
"Exactly."
His master casually found a large shell to sit on and said nonchalantly, "Our Four Seasons Sect’s founder believed that besides the present, countless pasts and futures exist.
Just like a large tree trunk branching into countless limbs.
This dharma thod is about seeking out powerful spirits from past, present, and future to chat and discuss Taoist philosophies with.
The founder created this dharma thod to encourage Lady Xiang not to feel sad over trivial matters but to find companions to journey together.
Of course, receiving gifts is just a bonus."
Li Ye blinked in surprise.
Indeed, high-tier cultivators are different.
For they already entertain concepts of "tilines" and "parallel worlds".
Moreover, to be able to invite and summon beings from different tis and worlds is even more astonishing.
"However," his master added, "you must also be cautious for this thod essentially creates connections, so spirits and deities will value this fateful connection highly and could do unexpected things.
While I’m here, why not try casting it once?"
For so reason.
When Li Ye heard his master say "value the connection", he suddenly shivered, which was quite unusual.
Given his current cultivation, even if he were to lie on ice to fetch carp, he would lt the ice of the entire lake and river, and still not feel cold.
So.
It’s highly likely sothing will happen during this casting.
However, with his master here, it should be fine.
He cald himself.
Then quickly executed several techniques.
From around him, countless streams of water converged to form a gigantic tree with just one bare trunk.
Several branches were growing slowly.
With each branch’s growth, Li Ye could feel the boundaries of ti and space changing; he was like a light walking forward, trying his best to emit light to attract those who share a similar shine.
This is the key to the "Xiangjun" thod.
Naly, constructing and facilitating the growth of the "Xiangshui Tree".
The "Xiangshui Tree" is vital for inviting the attention of the spirits across different tispaces as well as serves as a channel.
By the way.
If the Xiangshui Tree were to grow in the courtyard of Xiangshui House, it could actually reduce the consumption of spiritual power and divine sense, or else every inch of growth would be no less than exerting a great divine technique for resurrection.
"Hmm?"
Originally, Li Ye thought it would take so ti.
But just a few breaths later, a branch seed to pierce through a barrier and a clear female voice ca to his ears—
"Invite , please."
The voice carried a subtle fragrance of flowers and the chill of winter, making Li Ye feel like a proud wintersweet tree standing in the wind and snow.
"Oh?" His master sensed Li Ye’s successful casting.
He was rather surprised: "This dharma thod relies mainly on one’s spirituality to catch the attention of spirits and deities, as well as one’s charm to attract them.
You certainly have so skills.
In just a short ti, you’ve already attracted the attention of a deity.
But take a look, where exactly is it located?"
Li Ye also found it odd.
He quickly composed himself to check where exactly the water-ford branch had reached, and found... it seed to be pointing right here, in the depths of the East Pole Yang Sea.
Normally, it should be the endless daylight sea covered by endless sunlight.
"It seems that in the node you’ve discovered, this place might not be the East Pole Yang Sea."
"Summon it."
His master nodded slightly: "Let’s see what kind of Spirit God you draw this first ti."
Upon hearing this.
Li Ye had no further worries.
Holding his breath and calming his mind, he pinched a water-made leaf and gently swiped it without a trace of smoke or fire.
"Splash!"
The water quickly ford a whirlpool.
Spinning to form a circular doorway.
From within, slowly walked out a woman dressed in a white robe, marked with plum blossom patterns, like bloodstains, on it, of an extrely cold and detached appearance.
Truth be told, upon closer inspection, the woman’s appearance was truly beautiful, yet there was no trace of vitality, like an ice sculpture, except for a vermilion mole at the corner of her eye, preventing her from appearing too extre.
