Undying Life

Chapter 894: Chapter 894: Water Evasion

Underworld, Great Da Jing Sacred Court, Changjing

In a vast, empty training ground, only Zhong Shan and Xianxian remained, with all others dismissed. Surrounding the area were numerous guards ensuring no disturbances.

Perhaps it had just rained, for there were many puddles and large pools of water scattered across the training ground.

"Zhong Shan, let me show you the results of my enlightenment, a divine ability I comprehended based on my Wolf Ancestor Transformation!" Xianxian said excitedly.

A divine ability? Zhong Shan was genuinely surprised when he first heard Xianxian's claim. Comprehending a divine ability usually required a stroke of luck or extraordinary circumstances. For example, his shadow body was a result of such fortune, not something he simply figured out on his own. Generally, only Ancient Immortals, and not all of them, could comprehend their own divine abilities.

But Xianxian? She had just reached the Da Xian realm and already claimed to have comprehended one. This wasn't mere luck; it was pure comprehension?

Xianxian's inherent talent was already extraordinary. She reached the Da Xian realm in just two years, a feat unprecedented in Da Jing. While Nangong Sheng was already close to the Da Xian realm due to the celestial blessing, and Wang Ku had merely recovered from old injuries to reach his previous heights, Xianxian had achieved this entirely through her own effort in a mere two years.

At the time, Zhong Shan was speechless. In just seven or eight years, she had already comprehended a divine ability? Truly a prodigy!

No wonder even the immensely talented Di Xuan had admitted that his potential couldn't compare to Xianxian's. Although she had been playful in the past, once she got serious, her power was unparalleled.

"Show me. What kind of divine ability have you comprehended?" Zhong Shan asked with great interest.

Seeing Zhong Shan's appreciation, Xianxian became even more enthusiastic.

"Watch closely!" Xianxian said.

In her pure white fur robe, Xianxian's figure suddenly blurred and became transparent.

"Splash!"

Her entire body turned into water, and with a splashing sound, she dispersed onto the ground, disappearing entirely.

Gone? Zhong Shan frowned, his divine sense searching quickly. However, no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find her.

Just like that, she vanished?

"I'm here, can you find me?" Xianxian's voice suddenly came from a nearby puddle.

Zhong Shan turned to look, but there was only still water, as if the voice hadn't come from there at all.

Could his ears be deceiving him?

"Over here!"

"Here!"

"Hehe, right here!"

"Can't find me, can you? I'm right here!"

All over the training ground, Xianxian's voice echoed, yet there was no sign of her. It was as if she had completely disappeared, even from divine sense detection.

"Can't find me? Admit defeat, and I'll come out! Hehe," Xianxian's voice teased again.

"Alright, come out. I really can't find you. I'm too old! My eyes are failing me!" Zhong Shan laughed.

"You're not old at all, just a few decades older than me."

"Isn't a few decades old enough?"

"Not really," Xianxian giggled as she emerged from a puddle, her form solidifying back to her original self.

Her playful and proud expression was evident as she stood before Zhong Shan, having successfully demonstrated her new divine ability.

"Your divine ability is truly remarkable," Zhong Shan acknowledged, still amazed at how thoroughly she had evaded detection.

"Yes, it's called Water Evasion. I can merge with water and move freely within it, making it almost impossible to detect me. It's perfect for surprise attacks or escapes," Xianxian explained, her excitement clear.

Zhong Shan smiled, genuinely impressed by her talent and the new edge she had brought to their already formidable strength.

"That applies to ordinary people. You're different. You said you're still young, so I'll come out!" Xianxian teased.

Zhong Shan sighed. "Alright, I, Zhong Shan, am still in my prime, very young!"

"Okay, I'm coming out. Watch closely!" Xianxian said playfully.

Suddenly, a small shadow emerged from a shallow puddle in front of Zhong Shan. Xianxian began to appear, bit by bit. First, her head emerged, then her body, followed by her arms, and finally her legs and feet, all emerging from the small puddle.

Zhong Shan watched in astonishment. This looked somewhat similar to his own 'Shadow Evasion.'

"How is it? Impressive, right?" Xianxian said excitedly.

"It is impressive. But how does it work?" Zhong Shan asked, still trying to comprehend what he had just seen.

"This is 'Water Evasion.' As long as there is water, I can hide within it, completely undetectable. No one can find me, not even a trace of my aura. Isn't it amazing?" Xianxian looked at Zhong Shan, eager for his praise.

Nodding, Zhong Shan said seriously, "It's very impressive. Water evasion techniques are common, but none can completely erase their presence like you can. That's what makes your divine ability so powerful. If I hadn't experienced it firsthand, I wouldn't have believed how formidable this ability is."

"Of course, you have to see who comprehended it!" Xianxian said proudly.

"However, let's keep this ability a secret between us. Don't tell anyone else; save it for the most critical moments," Zhong Shan advised.

"I was only planning to tell a few people, but since you said so, I won't even tell Grandpa!" Xianxian replied cheerfully.

"Good!" Zhong Shan nodded, satisfied.

Suddenly, Zhong Shan felt a chill run down his spine.

Xianxian also sensed something was wrong and, along with Zhong Shan, looked toward the distance.

In the distance, a white cloud hovered. On the cloud stood a man in a blue robe, with a gem-like crystal embedded in his forehead.

"Luo Xingchen?" Zhong Shan's pupils contracted.

Luo Xingchen stood on the white cloud, holding a blue longbow with a golden arrow aimed directly at Zhong Shan.

However, Luo Xingchen hadn't released the arrow, seemingly waiting for Zhong Shan to notice him.

Finally, as Zhong Shan realized his presence, Luo Xingchen no longer hesitated and released the arrow.

"Whoosh!"

The golden arrow flashed through the air, speeding toward Zhong Shan. It was incredibly fast, reaching Zhong Shan almost instantly.

But Zhong Shan was not afraid of such an ambush. The Emperor's Picture unfurled, and the arrow was instantly absorbed into it, then shot back out toward Luo Xingchen.

The speed was just as fast on the return. However, Luo Xingchen was quick as well. In that instant, he drew a second arrow and aimed it at the first.

As lightning flickered, the tip of the second arrow met the tip of the first.

"Boom!" from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

A massive explosion of golden light erupted in the sky above Changjing, creating a powerful blast.

Numerous strong warriors from the Great Da Jing Sacred Court rushed toward Zhong Shan's location.

A large number of strong warriors rushed in, surrounding and protecting Zhong Shan.

"Another one courting death?" Xianxian, filled with rage, was about to charge forward.

"Slap!" Zhong Shan grabbed Xianxian's arm, stopping her.

"What incredible archery!" Zhong Shan remarked in awe. The power behind that arrow was one thing, but its precision and speed were unmatched. In today's world, Zhong Shan had seen none better than Luo Xingchen.

"Sacred King!" The ministers looked at Zhong Shan, awaiting his command.

In the distance, Luo Xingchen coldly observed Zhong Shan at the training ground in Changjing.

"Great Da Jing's Zhong Shan, was it truly you who killed my disciple?" Luo Xingchen's eyes flashed with cold light.

It turned out Luo Xingchen was probing Zhong Shan, trying to confirm the circumstances of Luo Tianhe's death.
