Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

A group of people labored until dawn, continuously revolving around the runaway Divine Spring of Ou Mingdong, studying it exhaustively.

Ling Wuce attempted to forcefully reintegrate the Divine Spring back into his body, but as soon as he pushed it in, it slipped out of Ou Mingdong’s back, exiting once more.

Moreover, the escaped Divine Spring seemed to have become smarter, taking to the skies to flee directly.

At this moment, Han Yu hurriedly used his Water Divine Power to capture it mid-air.

Huangfu Liang watched in amazement, unable to contain himself, ”It can fly—how bizarre!”

”Actually, it’s not so strange. Don’t forget, it’s a Divine Spring, after all, a place where True Essence gathers.”

Ling Wuce explained, then shook his head, realizing his method wasn’t effective!

This posed a difficulty. A group of people looked up to him, thinking if even Ling Wuce from the Spirit Realm Tower couldn’t do anything, what else could be done?

So they turned to Han Yu, thinking that since it’s his Pill, he must have a solution.

Han Yu also shook his head repeatedly, saying it was uncontrollable, so it was definitely impossible to have a solution; otherwise, it wouldn’t be considered a side effect.

Ling Wuce tried to get Han Yu to release his Divine Spring. As soon as the Divine Power was withdrawn, the Divine Spring, like a wild horse just released, burst out through the window, with a group rushing behind it in pursuit.

In the early morning sky of White Emperor City, citizens looking up could see a ball of water flying overhead, with a group of cultivators chasing after it—a spectacular and strange scene.

The Divine Spring roamed playfully in the skies above White Emperor City, sometimes suddenly descending to crawl along the streets, almost like a mischievous prank appearing under people’s feet. So, occasionally, bizarre tales of people disappearing while walking would arise.

Then it would spew them out like grapes, sending them flying, in search of the next target.

Gradually, it no longer found satisfaction in tricking ordinary people and turned towards cultivators’ tricks. In the early morning, there were few cultivators in the city, and after wandering through half the city, it finally found someone.

He was an unlucky guy from the Other Shore Realm. Nonchalantly entering the city early in the morning, he suddenly found the ground beneath him vanish with a ”splash,” realizing, to his bewilderment, that he had fallen into ”water”.

White Emperor City seemed like a city merely in name if such a large city could have water traps.

While pondering this, his expression suddenly changed as he sensed the True Essence within his body leaking away. Though not intense, he could clearly feel it.

Quickly shaking off distracting thoughts, no time for contemplation, he leapt up immediately, only to see the pool of water leaping up with him.

The cultivator wore a ghost-seeing expression; the small puddle seemed to have gained sentience!

Immediately, he drew his longsword and took to the sky using Sword Control, unceasingly raising his position, but unexpectedly, the thing trailed him, trying to swallow him once more.

”Courting death!”

Furious, the cultivator prepared to act, but as he gathered his True Essence and was about to strike, four figures suddenly appeared before him.

Ling Wuce, Han Yu, Ye Hei, and Huangfu Liang glanced at him, scaring the junior cultivator into retracting his True Essence immediately.

”It ran again.”

Huangfu Liang looked downwards and exclaimed.

In their view, the little thing leisurely escaped again downstairs.

At that moment, a cultivator entering White Emperor City suddenly felt a dark shadow flicker over, and in the next moment, everything went black for him.

The Divine Spring fell headfirst onto his face, then turned into a puddle upon landing, with no trace of the cultivator, and only after a while did a head cautiously emerge from the puddle.

This happened in the blink of an eye, and he felt as if he had been swallowed by something, utterly terrified.

Having encountered the same fate as the previous unfortunate soul, after feeling his True Essence diminish, he leapt up in fright, fleeing in panic.

”So, what on earth is this thing doing?”

Ye Hei truly couldn’t discern the intent of the Divine Spring, only noticing its penchant for mischief.

Ling Wuce, however, seemed contemplative. As a strong figure in the Realm of Transcendence, he was particularly sensitive to energy changes and could clearly sense the difference in aura after two cultivators fell into the puddle.

”Look closely at the Divine Spring. Doesn’t it seem a bit larger than before?”

He pointed out its most apparent change, speaking up.

After engulfing two cultivators, although no change was seen externally, when it turned into a puddle, its area noticeably expanded.

”I suspect it can devour others’ True Essence; it seems to be searching for food.”

Ling Wuce’s expression was incredibly peculiar, especially since such words came from his mouth.

It was utterly nonsensical, mind-boggling to think of a Divine Spring going hungry and searching for food. He realized how mad the world was becoming.

The rest of them wore odd expressions, truly absurd. Yet glancing at Han Yu, it gradually seemed acceptable.

The Divine Spring flew for a while longer over White Emperor City, playfully teasing two more cultivators before suddenly turning and heading toward the Government Office.

They could only helplessly continue trailing behind it. They needed to understand the Divine Spring’s pattern of behavior.

But as soon as they returned to the Government Office, they saw the continuous falling silhouettes of Palace Guards into the water.

Good heavens, had it realized there were no more prey in the city and returned to ”feast” on its own people?

To prevent the Divine Spring from being harmed, Huangfu Liang quickly called out loudly.

”That’s your master’s Divine Spring.”

After causing chaos all through the Government Office, it seemed still unsatisfied, taking to the air once more, flying towards the inner courtyard.
