The Fire of Love the Great Goddess

Eps. 43: Training

The good place that Dongfang Yue was referring to was Yanqi Mountain. After entering the protective field, the extremely clean pure air of Mount Yanqi instantly refreshed the bodies of Bai Feng Xian and A-Rou. A-Rou was stunned, he touched the spiritual bubbles flying around him.

Plants and trees seemed to welcome back the arrival of the old owner who had been lost for five hundred years. The leaves they opened just swayed, but rattled to sing a song of welcome. The calmness in Yanqi Mountain that day, broke through to possess his third body.

Bai Feng Xian only realized that Mount Yanqi was extremely calm. Previously he was dazed because of Dongfang Yue that day, so could not clearly feel that this mountain was so calm.

Right now, as he set foot on the ground that Dongfang Yue and his disciple had once occupied, he had completely grasped the essence of Yanqi Mountain. For some reason, Bai Feng Xian felt a little jealous of A-Xian.

Other than in the Qian Meitian Pavilion, A-Xian's life must also be very happy in this place. Imagining the days when Dongfang Yue smiled at that person all day, it made her heart a little unwilling.

You could say, that person was lucky to have tasted life with Dongfang Yue, before his luck turned into a very tragic misfortune.

“Uncle Emperor, is this the famous Yanqi Mountain?”

A-Rou stared in admiration at the cottage building that stood firmly before him. The residence is not luxurious, but very charming and comfortable to live in. A-Rou's heart was instantly captivated by the charm of Yanqi Mountain.

The top of his mountain this time was covered by clouds, making it seem untouched. A-Rou was not sure what the age of this mountain was now.

“Yes. This is the perfect place for your training.”

If an immortal were to undergo his training and cultivation here, then he would more easily rise to the level of becoming a god. Mount Yanqi is famous for having the purest air in the Four Seas and the Three Lands, its name skyrocketed after the tragedy of five hundred years ago. Unexpectedly, that extremely sacred place turned out to actually exist, and A-Rou could arrive here safely without having to break through the protective terrain forcefully.

“From now on, I will be your new teacher,” said Dongfang Yue.

Ji Meng had devoted herself in the Undercurrent World all her life, she was usually the same as Ming Ye, not caring so much about anything else. If it wasn't for A-Rou being Bai Feng Xian's daughter being forced to evacuate under certain conditions, the loner god might have wasted his time caring for a baby he didn't have a blood relationship with.

If Ji Meng did not know that the fox baby was a descendant of the Celestial Emperor and the Great Goddess Qingqiu, then it was certain that she rejected it and returned it to Ming Ye long ago.

A-Rou still wanted to admire this place, but he was soon made aware by Dongfang Yue of his purpose coming here: training. Ji Meng was indeed his teacher, but during these five hundred years, he had only taught a basic magic refining technique and sent it to Qingqiu. While in that place, A-Rou also learned nothing because Bai Feng Xian took him for a walk and had fun.

A-Rou has a desire in his heart, that he should be strong to be able to protect the people around him. Since childhood, he has received a lot of affection from others, and although he looks spoiled and mischievous, in fact his thinking is much more mature, beyond his age.

He did not not not know that in his body there was a Lotus Buddha. A-Rou deliberately pretended to be innocent, so that one could train him properly. Now that he has found the right person, he should be thankful a lot and should not waste his time anymore.

“Uncle Emperor, do I have to perform a worship ceremony like that of other immortal disciples?” ask A-Rou.

“You don't have to do it, and you can't do it.”

“Why?”

Since you are my daughter, I alone will teach you, Inner Dongfang Yue shouted.

“One day, you'll understand.”

The interactions of Dongfang Yue and A-Rou since earlier were all witnessed by Bai Feng Xian. Although it was not known why Dongfang Yue prevented him from performing the rapture ceremony, but there was one thing that could be understood by him: Dongfang Yue forever had only one disciple. Given that Dongfang Yue loved his late disciple so much, Bai Feng Xian smiled wryly.

Bai Feng Xian turned around, he walked towards the pond where the A-Xian energy was gathered. Surprisingly, after the last time, Bai Feng Xian no longer felt the A-Xian aura, or the aura that always surrounded him automatically every time he set foot here. The aura seemed to disappear.

Is it possible that Dongfang Yue has actually managed to find A-Xian and hide it somewhere? Then why has he been approaching her lately?

His curiosity was broken by his rather high prestige. As a fellow woman, isn't it natural to compete fairly?

If A-Xian had indeed been found, Bai Feng Xian wanted to take a look. If he could, he wanted to tell her that it was possible that Dongfang Yue's heart could already be split into two now. Unfortunately, there was nothing Bai Feng Xian could do now.

Bai Feng Xian forgot the memories that came while in the Qian Meitian Pavilion for a while. Slowly, he touched the water on the surface of the pond with the tip of his index finger, then a golden-yellow formation appeared into the air and spun. The formation was set up to protect the spiritual energy in the pond, and it would only come off automatically if the original owner of that energy touched it.

It was arranged by Dongfang Yue five hundred years ago, so that when Bai Feng Xian touched it, automatically the spiritual energy accumulated in the water entered Bai Feng Xian's body. The effect was the same as back then, Bai Feng Xian felt dizzy for a moment so he shook his head a few times.

“Uncle, is this how to do it?”

A-Rou's voice refreshed Bai Feng Xian's feelings, making him immediately aware. Without looking again, he left the pool. The golden yellow formation in the air instantly dissipated, the water within the pond turning into ordinary pool water. Bai Feng Xian walked towards the courtyard, he suddenly smiled seeing A-Rou sitting cross-legged in front of Dongfang Yue.

“Straighten your back, straighten your chest. Focus your mind, close your eyes and enter into your own spiritual awareness,” Dongfang Yue taught her how to see spiritual awareness, her voice so soft and unimpressed as patronizing.

A-Rou did what Dongfang Yue said, his mind focused and he managed to get into his own spiritual awareness. A-Rou's spiritual awareness was vast and calm, there was a wide array of sparkling starlight. There was a kind of two forces synergizing with each other, forming an energy wave that stored great memories and life magic.

“What do you see?” dongfang Yue asked A-Rou.

“I see a quiet and spacious space.”

“Besides?”

“You can identify it?”

“It…. The power of the Phoenix and the Nine-Tailed White Fox. Uncle, is that blooming flower the Buddha Lotus Petals?”

“Yes. Now, get out of there.”

In Bai Feng Xian's eyes, they were like a real father and son couple. There was no other thought in his head now. Bai Feng Xian assumed that the power of the Phoenix came from the Lotus Buddha Petals, though it came from the power that was passed down by Dongfang Yue since A-Rou was still in Bai Feng Xian's womb five hundred years ago. It was a pity that Bai Feng Xian did not remember anything.

He thought he had to prepare something. They will feel tired after training. For this reason, Bai Feng Xian went into the log cabin, looking for a place that could be used as a kitchen. At the very least, he could cook something while waiting for Dongfang Yue and A-Rou to finish practicing today.

Dongfang Yue was still training A-Rou, this time he taught her how to control the magic within her body. A-Rou was born with a special power passed down from Dongfang Yue and Bai Feng Xian, his body was not an ordinary fox body. Ability to learn faster and more responsibly. He could master the magic control technique after Dongfang Yue taught him once.

A-Rou is so smart, he can really become a great immortal when he grows up. The ten thousand year old cultivation in his five hundred year old body spun well and was ready to be used at any moment. As long as A-Rou set it up, he could use and utilize his magic as he wished.

Amidst training, A-Rou suddenly opened his eyes. It made Dongfang Yue frown, but he said nothing. The clear A-Rou star eyes looked at him deeply. “A-Rou, are you having trouble?”

But, A-Rou instead shook his head.

“Uncle Emperor, are you my father?”

The corner of Dongfang Yue's eyes twitched and could not be denied, she was extremely shocked. Dongfang Yue was silent for a while. A-Rou was not an ordinary immortal, then it was only natural that he felt something. “Why did you ask?”

“Although Master didn't teach me many things before, it doesn't mean I can't do anything. I know there is a special power within me. That Phoenix power, it's not from the Buddha Lotus Petals, is it? It comes from a power that was passed down from you since I was born.”

Dongfang Yue did not know what she had to say. A-Rou's extraordinary intelligence and ability to understand many things are hidden in his innocent face and misbehavior. By the age of five hundred, he had managed to identify the difference in strength in his body, and he said it when there was no one else but Dongfang Yue.

“So, is my mother A-Xian, your deceased student?”

“She's alive.”

“Where is he now?”

“I'll take you to meet him when the time has come.”

“My books must be from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan as well, right? My real body is a seven-tailed fox that has now risen to nine-tailed fox.”

Dongfang Yue could only nod. Although A-Rou could tell that Dongfang Yue was his father, but he could not know many other things. She might not have realized that Bai Feng Xian, who was her aunt and foster teacher, was her own mother.

The bundle of green moss does not seem to understand the complexities of adult relationships. This was also good, Dongfang Yue did not want to burden him with any more thoughts.

“Then, why was I dumped? Was the story that Ming Ye and Ji Meng told true that I was found on Mount Xi?”

“You are not thrown away. They told me to lie to me. A-Rou, listen to your father. There is a complicated situation going on between us. You can't think of anything else complicated, focus on practicing and exercising your strength. Another problem, let me solve it.”

A-Rou nodded in understanding. Alright, he didn't take all of this seriously either. A-Rou only wants to know the truth, but Dongfang Yue's attitude turns out to be beyond his prediction. A-Rou thought it best to obey Dongfang Yue's teachings, focusing on practicing and handing over his mother's affairs to him. It's better and more precise.

“Good. I'll obey you. I'll call you dad when the time comes. So, solve the problem faster so you can hear me calling you father, Uncle Emperor.”

Dongfang Yue's smile rose, as bright as the sun and so warm. Although it was complicated, Dongfang Yue still had to finish it. Facing Bai Feng Xian was his main goal, he hoped that it would make his hope and redemption meaningful. He really wants to make ‘love because tesj’ it becomes real love.

“Yes. Now, you must go back to listening to my teachings.”

A-Rou and Dongfang Yue returned to training. This time, they sank longer in spiritual awareness, controlling the power within the body and stabilizing it. A-Rou had not yet managed to advance to that stage, he stopped in the middle of the road as his stomach suddenly rang.

“Uncle Emperor, I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat here?” ask A-Rou.

“You hungry? Coincidentally, I have already made food that you can eat,” Bai Feng Xian suddenly appeared in the middle of them, surprising Dongfang Yue and A-Rou until their hearts pounded in shock.

“See, I cooked some kind of food and already prepared it there.”

Bai Feng Xian pointed to the interior of the hut which functioned as the main room. Food bowls are neatly arranged, the aroma is out tickling the nose. A-Rou immediately jumped up and in high spirits ran towards the room, followed by Dongfang Yue and Bai Feng Xian.

“I know you guys will be exhausted after practicing. This cottage is quite good even though it is not lived hundreds of years,” said Bai Feng Xian.

“You can use it whenever you want.”

“Really?”

Dongfang Yue nodded.
