631: Chapter 631 Wrong Guess

Jiang Xingwan never intentionally flirted; a mere glance or a single expression was enough to cause an innate, captivating charm to overflow, seizing one's soul.

True allure is not something deliberately created, but rather the pure emotion revealed inadvertently, directly stirring one's longing for a beautiful life.

Emotional needs are the highest form of desire; if not for Liu Xuan having refined the Six Desires Heavenly Demonic Qi, he would have been unable to withstand it at all.

Not daring to continue staring at Jiang Xingwan, Liu Xuan went straight to the point and asked, "The Bureau of Astronomy of the Dao Court has observed that the Spiritual Qi in the Eastern Sea and Western Desert has a tendency to flow toward the Southern Border. Revered Master is proficient in the arts of divination and prophecy, so surely you must have observed this as well?"

Jiang Xingwan nodded slightly. "The flow of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is a natural principle, unpredictable and ever-changing. Right now, it is merely a slight trend; perhaps it will revert after some time."

Her tone was light, appearing indifferent, yet her gaze toward Liu Xuan shone faintly.

Although she had seen the changes in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi before, she could not calculate the reason for the fluctuation.

With Liu Xuan asking this, and connecting it to the terrifying backlash she received when divining Liu Xuan earlier.

Perhaps, the root cause lay with the very Liu Xuan before her!

Liu Xuan did not notice the change in her expression and continued to ask, "I wonder if Revered Master could recalculate now to see if there have been any changes to the previous trend?"

Jiang Xingwan pondered for a moment and nodded. "Very well!"

"Hum~"

As soon as her voice fell, the Star Observation Platform suddenly lit up with intricate formation patterns, and a phantom of an Yin and Yang disc manifested in the starry sky above.

Countless lines wove and flowed within the disc, appearing and disappearing, ever-changing. Liu Xuan watched for a while but couldn't make heads or tails of it.

About a quarter of an hour later, Jiang Xingwan waved her hand to dispel all the strange phenomena, frowning slightly. "This fluctuation in Spiritual Qi is extremely stable; the Spiritual Qi from the Eastern Sea and Western Desert is continuously gathering toward the Southern Border. Since I began observing the stars, this is the first time I have seen such a thing!"

The flow of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is normal; whether it flows from the Eastern Sea to the Southern Border, or from the Southern Border to the Eastern Sea, Jiang Xingwan had observed both before.

The abnormal part was that this trend was too stable. For the flow of Spiritual Qi throughout the entire Cultivation World, unpredictability is the norm. The longer this kind of rhythmic flow persists, the more abnormal it is.

"The trend hasn't changed?" Liu Xuan asked again. "Are you sure you didn't misread it?"

"I am certain!" Jiang Xingwan asked curiously, "Do you think it should have changed?"

Liu Xuan waved his hand. "My Foundation is in the Southern Border, so I am just worried about being affected."

He bowed solemnly to Jiang Xingwan and said, "If Revered Master observes any changes in the trend of Spiritual Qi flow, please inform this Disciple in time."

"As for that..."

Jiang Xingwan smiled and said, "I can agree to that, but how will you repay me?"

"How does Revered Master want me to repay you?" Liu Xuan asked helplessly.

Jiang Xingwan did not answer immediately, but instead walked down from the high platform to stand in front of Liu Xuan.

"You said just now that we are a couple, so in the future, when we meet in private, can you not call me Revered Master?"

"If not Revered Master, then what should I call you?"

"Hmm..."

"Call me Xingwan, or just call me Madam or My Wife, either is fine!"

"That wouldn't be very appropriate!" Liu Xuan looked at the incomparably beautiful Fairy close at hand and gritted his teeth. "But since Revered Master insists, I will call you Xingwan from now on."

Hearing this, Jiang Xingwan said joyfully, "In that case, I won't call you Fellow Daoist Liu either. From now on, I will call you... Husband~"

This one word, 'Husband', nearly shattered Liu Xuan's Dao Heart. He hurriedly dodged the hand Jiang Xingwan reached out, took a step back, and bowed. "I have urgent matters to attend to; I will come to keep you company next time."

Watching Liu Xuan flee in a panic, Jiang Xingwan chuckled. She was now somewhat doubting her previous judgment; judging by Liu Xuan's behavior, he did not seem like one of those big shots who had lived for countless years.

This was even better. Whether Liu Xuan was a big shot who had lost his memories and undergone Reincarnation, or a Heaven-chosen child with Heaven-Defying Luck, it was more advantageous for her.

...

Outside the Xuanyin Tower.

After Liu Xuan came out, his expression instantly became very ugly, not because of Jiang Xingwan, but because the trend of the Spiritual Qi flow had not changed.

"If Jiang Xingwan didn't lie to me, then it means my previous guess was wrong!"

Regarding the fluctuation of Spiritual Qi in the Southern Border, Liu Xuan had previously guessed it was because of the True Qi.

Once an ordinary Cultivator dies, their mana returns to the world and re-enters the cycle of Spiritual Qi.

But True Qi is different. It seems to dissipate just like mana, but it does not turn into basic Spiritual Qi. Instead, it is drawn by the great formation within the Cave Heaven, becoming cultivation resources for the Liu Family Disciples who Cultivate the qi of creation.

True Qi does not enter the cycle of the world, so Liu Xuan guessed that it was the cause of the breakdown in the Southern Border's Spiritual Qi cycle, which is why it was absorbing Spiritual Qi from the two nearby regions to replenish itself.

To verify this guess, during this period, he had used the excuse of expanding his business to transfer many guard teams who had refined True Qi from the Southern Border, and even specifically brought those critically injured soldiers from the front lines to the Eastern Sea to recuperate.

After this operation, True Qi had appeared here in the Eastern Sea as well. If his guess was correct, the trend of the Spiritual Qi flow should have changed.

"Perhaps it's because the time is too short, and the rules of the world haven't reacted yet?"

"Or is it that True Qi is not the reason at all?"

Although the fluctuation of Spiritual Qi in the Southern Border does not have much impact at the moment, if the trend remains unchanged, it will definitely cause a major upheaval in the future.

For Liu Xuan and the entire Liu Family, an upheaval is not necessarily a bad thing, but stability is definitely beneficial!

They could have developed steadily and become invincible just by accumulating time; why gamble on an uncertain upheaval?

If possible, Liu Xuan still wanted to figure out the reason as soon as possible. It would be best if he could stop it; if not, it would at least facilitate subsequent arrangements.

His guess might be wrong, so Liu Xuan was in a bad mood. Just as he planned to return to the Kanli Hall to relax, an urgent alert came from his Sea of Consciousness.

Liu Xuan submerged his mind into his Sea of Consciousness to take a look; the message came from Peach Blossom. Peach Blossom and Liu Xuan had a Revered Master-servant contract, so the two could ignore distance and transmit simple messages.

The Divine Soul message transmitted by Peach Blossom was simple: Lady Yaoguang was anxious to see him, and Peach Blossom could not hold her off any longer, asking if he could return as soon as possible.

Liu Xuan had left an Incarnation in Biyou Immortal City. His true body was not dead. Although the Incarnation could not bear children, there was no problem with transmitting some simple orders, and it would also suffice for meeting Lady Yaoguang.

However, Liu Xuan had not figured out how to explain it to Lady Yaoguang, so he had been letting Peach Blossom stall her by using the excuse that he had gone to the Eastern Sea.

"I must go and see her, otherwise if Lady Yaoguang flies into a rage, the consequences will be very serious."

"It just so happens that things are basically stable here in the Eastern Sea, and I need to go back and care for my many beautiful wives and concubines in Biyou City."

The trip was over. Liu Xuan informed You Ruo, Yin Lizhi, and the others, and then used the teleportation formation to return to Biyou City.

Just as he emerged from the teleportation formation in Biyou City, Liu Xuan immediately felt himself being targeted by a powerful Divine Sense.

At the same time, a powerful force of displacement acted upon him. Liu Xuan resisted for an instant, then allowed this force to drag him into a palace Flying Boat in the sky.

"Liu Xuan, you have a lot of nerve!"

"Something like a long-distance teleportation formation, and you didn't even say a word to me! Do you still have me, your Revered Master, in your eyes?!"

Lady Yaoguang immediately launched into a furious reprimand.
