Wandering Gods of Day and Night-Chapter 1156 - 443: Heavenly Fire Clan (Part 3)

"The Day Soul" was surrounded by blazing fire, while "The Night Soul" exuded silvery light. One day, as I was contemplating in front of a mural, I inadvertently felt a supreme will within the Day Soul, and in the Night Soul, the presence of the Blood God’s will.

Thus, I believe these two souls are derived from the Day and Night Wandering God, acquiring power from the supreme will and the Blood God."

"Is the mother of this human deity so powerful?"

Zhou Xuan asked.

"That’s why I say it’s just a guess. If my hypothesis is correct, then the ’Day and Night Wandering God’ is the strongest will in Jing Country."

The incense fire Taoist said, "If you can manifest the Dharma Image of the ’Day and Night Wandering God,’ you should pay attention to nurturing your Day Soul and Night Soul. They might help you comprehend the great Dao of this world."

"Then how do you nurture the soul?"

Zhou Xuan inquired.

"You have to ask the Blood Well Venerable; he knows all the secrets of this world."

"Alright."

Zhou Xuan glanced at Zhao Jinjia and Wancang Mountain’s corpses — two people with nine incense sticks, a sumptuous array of sacrifice this time.

"Go on and summon the Twin Fish; I’ve said as much as I can."

The incense fire Taoist saw that the green and red fog had thickened to its peak and feared that if he waited any longer, the two fish would be utterly dispelled before being summoned.

If the green and red energies were to disperse, it would be challenging to find them again later.

"Thank you for your support today, Old Incense. When I refine good elixirs, I’ll send you some."

"No need for elixirs, Zhou Housheng. Just remember what I’ve said today — your elixirs might rekindle Jing Country’s faded light."

"I’ll remember, I’ll remember."

After laying this, Zhou Xuan tossed the bodies of Wancang Mountain and Zhao Jinjia into the Secret Realm, then walked towards the green and red fog.

As he walked, he muttered to himself.

"If elixirs could forge a new power attribute for Jing Country, and those God-level beings joined me to avoid the Heavenly Fire Clan’s manipulation,

could I possibly achieve greatness?"

Zhou Xuan found an answer from the incense fire Taoist: the biggest difference between a Heavenly God, God, and an ordinary person is whether their power is sufficiently mighty.

Meanwhile, another question lingered in his mind — what distinguishes will from the Heavenly Venerate and the Heavenly God?

"The will can bestow power upon the Heavenly Venerate and the Heavenly God."

"If my elixirs can bestow mighty power, then I’m not much different from a will."

With these thoughts, Zhou Xuan’s steps became more vigorous, almost stirring up a breeze.

...

Zhou Xuan entered the green and red fog,

where no bamboo forests were, only a vast pond, half of which was crimson red and the other half sky blue like after the rain.

As the sky blue and crimson red waves saw Zhou Xuan, they joyfully surged over to embrace him.

Immediately, a sensation of cold and heat, hot and cold, continuously cycled over Zhou Xuan’s skin.

The vibrant water vapor drilled into Zhou Xuan’s body.

In his ears, he heard the murmuring of water.

"Gurgle, gurgle."

This water vapor permeated through Zhou Xuan’s skin and spread within his Secret Realm, transforming into two gentle streams that slipped into the Black Water.

Upon entering the Black Water, they turned into fish.

In no time,

a red and a blue, two large fish began to swim nourishingly in the Black Water, and the green and red fog completely dispersed.

The summoning, compared to the recent "snatching fish," was smooth and uneventful.

Zhou Xuan immediately closed his eyes, focusing his mind into the Secret Realm.

"Fun, fun, Big Child, play with my fish. My fish is bigger."

When Zhou Xuan entered the Secret Realm, the Green and Red Fish were already playing joyously with the Big Child and the Third Child.

Not really playing, more like "being played with."

The Green and Red Fish might have been reluctant, only for the Big Child to hold the Green Fish and the Third Child the Red Fish, competing over whose fish was bigger, reveling contently.

The Green Fish looked despondent, while the Red Fish attempted to bite the Third Child.

However, these two children were seasoned ginseng spirits from the mountains, adept at catching fish and hunting birds despite their small size, adept at controlling fish.

As the Red Fish flicked its tail, the Third Child lightly shifted, defusing the fish’s impact.

"Big Child, this fish is fierce. I love it."

The two children played on while Zhou Xuan watched with satisfaction. To him, the sight of the two children holding the Green and Red Fish resembled something like a New Year’s picture. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

When he was a child during New Year, they would hang a picture at his grandparents’ home, often depicting two chubby children, one holding a red fish, and the other holding a green fish, symbolizing "plenty every year."

"This scene is so nostalgic."

After watching for a while, Zhou Xuan hoisted the neglected bodies of Zhao Jinjia and Wancang Mountain and walked towards the City God Temple step by step.

"Well, who doesn’t have dumplings for the New Year? I brought you two solid dishes, really solid ones."

Not even entering the door, Zhou Xuan joyfully shouted.

While he delivered dishes to the Blood Well, he also sought the Blood Well’s divination — to inquire what "evidence" he needed to prove to the heavens that he could indeed refine peerless elixirs,

and by the way, learn how to nurture the Day Soul and Night Soul...
