Chapter 1327: The Enlightenment of Zen Tea

Yun Xiang went out first as instructed by Ying Wuxiu, and told everyone to pack their clothes. Ying Wuxiu kept his eyes on Su Yi.

"Sect Leader Su, please wait here for a moment and have some tea."

"Alright, I’ll obey. Pavilion Lord Ying, this tea is quite good!" Su Yi pushed open the tea leaves with the lid of the cup, gently blew on it with his mouth, tasted a sip, and his expression brightened.

"Oh? Sect Leader Su, you also understand the art of tea?" Ying Wuxiu looked at Su Yi with slight surprise.

"I don’t know much, but I can feel that this tea is bitter at first but leaves a refreshing aftertaste. The bitterness with a hint of sweetness is a hidden flavor. After the bitterness, the sweetness comes, it’s the true taste, and it’s quite intriguing."

Su Yi savored the tea, contemplating what would happen after returning to the sect.

"Haha, Sect Leader Su, it’s rare for someone your age to have such an understanding. The tea and Zen are the same. The essence of tea and cultivation lead to the same path. Don’t be attached to the color, fragrance, and taste of tea. Taste it with your true heart, fly through the clouds, leave no trace in still water, and in the end, you will attain the great Dao!" Ying Wuxiu’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Seeking the Dao with one’s true heart!" Mysterious light began to surge in Su Yi’ mind, radiating a divine brilliance. Su Yi gradually fell into deep contemplation.

"Being able to enter the state of selflessness anytime, anywhere, this guy’s willpower and mental strength are truly extraordinary!" Ling Qianxue frowned slightly and unconsciously spoke.

After a while, Su Yi looked coldly at Ying Wuxiu and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you, Pavilion Lord Ying. It seems like I understand now."

Ying Wuxiu smiled kindly and calmly said, "Do you truly understand? The difference between understanding and not understanding is just a moment, and the difference between doing and not doing is only a small step. Sect Leader Su, remember that staying true to oneself is always the best choice, whether it’s magic or divinity!"

Su Yi nodded slightly, his expression calm and composed.

"Sect Leader Su, it’s getting late. Yun Xiang must be ready by now. Let’s call it a day for today. If we are destined, we will meet again!"

"Alright!" Su Yi said, clasping his fist slightly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Wuxiu’s energy surged. His hands glowed with water-based qi, and he condensed and pushed his palms together. A massive watery vortex formed around Ying Wuxiu, creating a separate world filled with sparkling light that completely covered the area in front of Su Yi.

"Phew!"

Su Yi could clearly sense the strange changes happening inside the room. He could also feel an uncontrollable unease stirring deep in his soul. The vivid image of the blue vortex detached from Ying Wuxiu’s body and rushed towards Su Yi with unparalleled momentum, emitting a dazzling light.

In an instant, Su Yi was enveloped by a huge watery bubble, surrounded by layers of rippling space filled with the sounds of crashing waves. Boundless darkness pervaded all around Su Yi.

"Crash!"

The water shimmered and poured down like a flood.

The whole house began to collapse, shaking violently. The immense energy of the universe boiled and rushed into the bubble, wrapping Su Yi inside. Gradually, Su Yi closed his eyes.

A vast breath filled the air, as if Su Yi’s senses were a tiny boat tossed on the raging sea. The sea breeze drifted across the sparkling waves.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the empty sky, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Dark clouds rolled in, and the sky changed colors.

A heavy and ancient breath filled Su Yi’s body, spreading all around. It made people feel desolate and unable to resist, willing to give up the fight.

The fierce wind howled, and the dark clouds covered the sky. A beam of golden light suddenly appeared from the clouds, followed by countless rays of light pouring down, creating a brilliant and magnificent display, like fireworks.

Suddenly, a towering giant hand, like a divine being overlooking the world, filled with terrifying pressure, reached down from the golden clouds. With astonishing momentum, it grabbed towards Su Yi.

Su Yi only felt a strong, ancient energy flowing through him. It seemed to distort the empty space and wrap Su Yi up in it. Su Yi couldn’t help but release his water elemental power, which merged with the giant hand. Gradually, Su Yi closed his eyes.

"Surging Waves Palm!"

The name of the giant hand appeared in Su Yi’ mind. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing at the entrance of Lingbao Pavilion.

Everything was normal, and Su Yi didn’t feel anything strange about his body.

The stars were shining high above, and the night sky was casting a chill. A cool breeze blew through Su Yi’ hair, making him feel like he had just awakened from a big dream.

The guards stood solemnly, looking ahead, loyal to their duty.

Su Yi approached and took out a black card, asking softly.

"Can I find Pavilion Lord Ying?"

The guard glanced at the black card in Su Yi’ eyes, his pupils shrinking, and he stammered.

"Sir, in Nine Star City’s Lingbao Pavilion, there is no Pavilion Lord Ying. There is only Tang Yingfeng, the Pavilion Lord Tang."

The guard looked at Su Yi, large beads of sweat gradually rolling down his face, showing no signs of being fake.

Hearing the guard’s words, Su Yi began to doubt.

Su Yi put the black card back into his pocket and took out a new space bag. Inside were neatly displayed dozens of exquisite clothes, the ones Yun Xiang had just let him choose.

"Perhaps they don’t want you to see," Ling Qianxue’s eyes shimmered with a clear and serene blue.

If what Ling Qianxue said was true, what could be the intentions of Ying Wuxiu and Yun Xiang? Based on the current situation, giving him mysterious gems and several valuable clothes at least benefitted him.

Su Yi furrowed his brows, then a smile formed at the corners of his mouth. He activated his inner energy, took a step forward, and disappeared into the vast night sky.

A leaf twirled and fell in the strong wind. The sea of clouds surged, wispy and ethereal, ever-changing. The Nine-star Sky Sea rolled freely under the shimmering moonlight.

Ying Wuxiu quietly watched the traces of clouds in the sky, while Yun Xiang stood respectfully beside him.

"This child is extraordinarily talented, pure in heart, in excellent spirits, and ruthless in methods. They will become an unparalleled powerhouse in this world! Whether they live or die will depend on their fate! I hope they can avoid the disaster in Nine Star Valley." Ying Wuxiu said calmly and softly.

"I wonder what the fairy lady plans to do with the mysterious stone?" Yun Xiang asked respectfully, her delicate lips slightly parted.

"It’s difficult to guess the intentions of the fairy lady. Yun Xiang, as the leader of Chaos Realm, you must closely monitor every move of the Wind Pavilion Lord when they return to the realm." Ying Wuxiu continued speaking.

"A tremendous event is about to happen in Chaos Realm, but the whereabouts of the fairy lady are hard to find. I must return to the sect first to report to the sect master. I need to use the sound-transmitting jade for urgent communication."

"Yes!" Yun Xiang replied promptly.

"Whoosh!"

A strong wind blew in place as a huge blue water bubble burst open, and Ying Wuxiu disappeared instantly.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yi had already returned to his room.

The smell of sandalwood wafted in the silver moonlight, obscuring Su Yi’ face slightly.

"Qianxue, you haven’t told us what this is yet."

Su Yi took out the mysterious stone that Ying Wuxiu had given him and placed it in his palm.

Upon its smooth texture, mysterious symbols flowed quietly. Su Yi sensed a tremendous spiritual energy emanating from it.

"This is the Cracked Sky Jade, an extremely precious treasure. Not even the Chaos Realm has more than ten of them," Ling Qianxue said with excitement.
