Chapter 41 Seventeen Scenic Palace, White Cloud Changes Ownership

"Three... Lives... Division."

"One gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things."

"First there was the Three Lives Division, then all things were born."

The voice of White Cloud Scenic Master was filled with age and deepness, just like Fu Ning's thoughts at this moment, bitter and desolate.

Fu Ning certainly knew about the Three Lives Division.

Because the Three Lives Division consisted of many clans, and he belonged to the "mo" clan among them.

The mo clan belonged to the Three-Eyed Spirit Organ clan.

Among the many clans, besides the Spirit Organ clans like the mo clan, there were the True Monarchs who integrated the Five Elements, the powerful Hundred-Joint Warriors, and the Tai Sui who possessed innate divine abilities.

("Heavenly Master" may not be quite appropriate, if readers have any suggestions, they can leave a comment here.)

They had been guarding the seventeen Scenic Palaces for generations.

These seventeen Scenic Palaces were the seventeen pillars that constructed this world, and they were also the seventeen rules of this heavenly path.

Each Scenic Palace contained a kind of inheritance spectacle. If it was mastered by a benevolent person, the world would naturally be safe and secure.

But if it fell into the hands of evil people, then these seventeen Scenic Palaces would be like seventeen bombs, each capable of destroying a rule of the world.

For thousands of years, under the watchful eyes of the Three Lives Division, the seventeen Scenic Palaces were undisturbed, and the world operated as usual.

However, human nature is inherently greedy, and perhaps even the Hongzu himself underestimated this.

They began to learn cultivation, to plot conspiracies, to establish political power, to monopolize resources, and to dominate over all living beings.

Greed knows no limits, only expanding more and more.

Until they began to covet the seventeen Scenic Palaces and turned their sights on the Three Lives Division clan.

Although the Three Lives Division clan possessed innate abilities, their bloodline was rare, and before they grew up, they were not much different from ordinary mortals.

So when faced with sudden enemies, they quickly fell into a disadvantage.

Most of them were captured and raised as Spirit Slaves, and when the time was right, their Spirit Organs were dug out, or they were refined into pills, Law Weapons, or puppets.

A small number of people managed to escape, but they also became disheartened and gradually disappeared into the dust.

"As a result, the Three Lives Division clan perished, and the Five Cities and Twelve Towers became legends as well."

Speaking up to this point, White Cloud Scenic Master couldn't help but feel emotional.

He was both amazed at the creation of the Hongzu and at the boundless greed of human nature.

After a long time, his gaze fell back on the White Cloud, and a trace of reminiscence flashed across his face.

"This piece of White Cloud was obtained by this old man during my travels in the northern region in my early years. Later, I used it as my mount, and that's how I obtained the title of 'White Cloud' Scenic Master."

"All the clouds in the sky come from the Cloud City.

Perhaps the secret to reaching Cloud City is hidden within this White Cloud.

And there must be a method to restore one's Innate foundation there."

"Embarrassingly, in all these years, this old man has failed to bring forth any wonders from the White Cloud.

Now that I have decided to close the gate and die, I cannot let this White Cloud go to waste in my hands."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and his fingertip touched a faint light, which then landed on Fu Ning's head. Immediately, a wisp of cloud appeared in Fu Ning's mind.

In the next moment, he felt a connection with the White Cloud in front of him.

This was the Primordial Spirit imprint of the White Cloud!

Following that, White Cloud Scenic Master waved his long sleeve, and the White Cloud moved with the wind, sticking to Fu Ning's body in an instant.

It was soft, like being bumped by cotton.

And the fact that the White Cloud stuck to Fu Ning's body and didn't immediately leave meant that it didn't reject its new owner.

"White Cloud likes to devour Water Element Origin Qi. Your realization of the 'Turtle Breathing Technique' is Water Element Origin Qi. If you usually feed it with Origin Qi, it will naturally become close to you."

Fu Ning was delighted at these words.

Ever since the Cloud Spirit Turtle transformed, it had been able to generate Origin Qi on its own.

So the Origin Qi in his body had always been abundant.

At this moment, he reached out and sent a clump of Origin Qi, then scratched the surface of the White Cloud, just like scratching the belly of Greedy Toad.

果然, as soon as Origin Qi appeared, it was absorbed into the body by it.

White Cloud cannot speak, it can only express its thoughts by changing its shape.

Soon, wisps of cloud extended and wrapped around Fu Ning's body.

"Hahaha, it seems that I have not chosen the wrong person."

White Cloud Scenic Master stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction.

Fu Ning patted White Cloud's body, then pointed at White Cloud Scenic Master. White Cloud seemed to understand and swiftly dove into the arms of White Cloud Scenic Master.

It seemed reluctant, as if saying goodbye.

This made White Cloud Scenic Master burst into laughter.

"From now on, it will be entrusted to you."

"Fu Ning will surely fully comprehend the mysteries of Cloud City, not in vain of my earnest cultivation."

"Very well!"

After staying in White Cloud Scenic Master's courtyard for half a day, Fu Ning left with White Cloud.

Cloud Qi is a profound spiritual object. It can instantly expand or shrink.

For convenience, Fu Ning had it shrink into a small ball and stick it in his sleeve.

Just as he left the courtyard, Fu Ning saw Qian Mingyuan standing outside, leaning against the wall, yawning and looking sleepy.

Upon hearing footsteps, he opened his eyes again.

"Junior Brother, you're out!"

Fu Ning silently nodded and turned to look at White Cloud Scenic Master's small courtyard. The next time he comes, it should be when White Cloud Scenic Master transcends his tribulation.

When he came, Fu Ning rode Qian Mingyuan's "Wind Lotus Flying Boat," but now he had White Cloud to ride on.

Thinking back to the first time he set foot on Sitting Oblivion Beach, he had envied White Cloud Scenic Master's white cloud for a long time.

Unexpectedly, today White Cloud had become his spiritual object.

"Junior Brother, slow down~"

Qian Mingyuan's words carried a hint of sourness.

This White Cloud is different from ordinary flying Law Weapons.

It has its own intelligence, so it doesn't need its owner's attention to control it. It can fly autonomously and at a faster speed.

"Senior Brother, can I meet Yun Niang?"

Qian Mingyuan, who had finally caught up, heard Fu Ning mention Yun Niang again and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. "Junior Brother... Yun Niang is currently in seclusion, so..."

Fu Ning's gaze sharpened, instantly sensing that Qian Mingyuan was hiding something from him. "Senior Brother, what's really going on?"

"Cough cough, it's nothing, actually."

Qian Mingyuan forced a bitter smile. If Fu Ning didn't have this White Cloud, he could have easily brushed it off. But now that he was riding on White Cloud, where couldn't he go in White Mountain?

Knowing that he couldn't hide it, he spoke slowly, "To be honest, this matter started because of you."

"Me?" Fu Ning was taken aback.

"Yes, after Yun Niang went up the mountain, she was originally focused on cultivation and made rapid progress. I don't know where she heard the news of you joining Red Mountain. As a result, she insisted on defecting to Red Mountain."

"You also know that Senior Aunt Bailian is strict, and Yun Niang is her most valued disciple, so... she put Yun Niang under house arrest."

"Under house arrest?!"

"In fact, it's just house arrest, but what I didn't expect is that Junior Sister Yun Niang is even more stubborn. She went on a hunger strike directly."

"It's already the third day, and she hasn't had a drop of water."

Fu Ning sighed lightly, "This girl..."

"She's still as stubborn as ever."
