"Really?
You're not just teasing me again, are you?" Qiānniǎo was somewhat skeptical and asked, "You're talking about something so profound. What is it? Take it out and let me see."
"Then you'd better be mentally prepared. That thing is a one-time deal, like a Divine Sign. You only get so many chances to see it. How should I put it..." Gu Qingfeng lay back in his chair, rubbing his chin. "Have you ever seen a Divine Sign?"
"What a stupid question!
How could I possibly have seen a Divine Sign? Have you?"
"I've seen a few."
"A few!
You're just bragging. Even though I haven't seen a Divine Sign, I've heard of them. Divine Signs are rare occurrences over countless millennia. How could you have seen a few?"
"Little sister, actually, so-called Divine Signs are just a type of phenomenon. There are phenomena of the Great Natural Order, phenomena of the Great Dao, phenomena of Heaven and Earth, phenomena of the Mysterious and Yellow, phenomena of the Primordial Chaos, phenomena of the Primal Chaos, phenomena of the universe...
There are countless kinds of phenomena. Phenomena of the universe, the primordial chaos, heaven and earth, the mysterious and yellow might be very rare, but phenomena of the Great Dao aren't that strange. Especially phenomena of the Great Natural Order. I can whip one up for you with a flick of my hand."
This was the first time Qiānniǎo had heard that Divine Signs were divided into so many profound and mysterious phenomena. Hearing that Gu Qingfeng could conjure a phenomenon of the Great Natural Order at will, Qiānniǎo was very suspicious. "Then create a profound mystery phenomenon of the Great Natural Order for me. Let me see."
"Didn't I just tell you to prepare yourself?"
"What do I need to prepare?
Isn't just looking at it enough?"
"What do you plan to use to look?"
"What else could I use?
Of course, my eyes."
Gu Qingfeng shook his head helplessly. "Little sister, using your eyes is fine, but you also need to use your divine sense to probe. Most importantly, you need to feel it with your heart. If you only use your eyes, you'll just see a mass of shifting chaos. You won't be able to perceive anything else. Only by feeling it with your heart can you comprehend the profound mysteries within. Understand?"
"Then first create a profound mystery phenomenon of the Great Natural Order, this miracle. Let me try. If I can't comprehend it once, I'll try a few more times..."
"Little sister!"
Gu Qingfeng was at his wit's end with Qiānniǎo. "Although I can create a profound mystery phenomenon miracle of the Great Natural Order for you, I can only create one. Creating this thing consumes a lot of essence, spirit, and energy. I'm already very weak right now. Creating one for you is already quite something. You want me to create several for you?
What do you take me for?
The Mother of the Great Natural Order?
Someone who creates profound mystery miracles of the Great Natural Order for fun in my spare time?"
"Don't be so fierce. I didn't know."
Qiānniǎo thought carefully for a moment, then added, "I understand what you mean. You can only manifest a phenomenon of the Great Natural Order once right now, right?"
"Correct."
"How long does that one phenomenon of the Great Natural Order last?"
"That's hard to say. Everyone's comprehension is different, and the mysteries they can visualize are also different. Some people glance at it and comprehend nothing. Some people glance at it and can visualize many mysteries."
Qiānniǎo worriedly said, "You just said my comprehension is poor. What if...
what if I can't comprehend anything?"
"Don't worry. Although your comprehension isn't great, it's not dull either. You'll be able to comprehend some mysteries, more or less."
"Really?
You're not tricking me, are you?"
Seeing Gu Qingfeng nod, Qiānniǎo gained a bit of confidence. Then she said, "Then you...
begin."
"Are you prepared?"
"After what you said, I'm actually quite nervous now. Wait!
I'll go call Sister Ling'er over."
Worried about how much she could comprehend, Qiānniǎo prepared to call Qiānlíng over to comprehend together. Just as she was about to leave, she noticed Qiānlíng walking towards them. And not just Qiānlíng; three other women were coming with her.
One of them was dressed in splendid attire, elegant and luxurious—it was Luo Shangxianzhe Bai Susu.
The other two: one was gentle and moving, tender as water, transcendent and unworldly; the other had stunningly beautiful features, like a ball of fire.
They were Immortal Huadie and Mu Lingyao.
Seeing Bai Susu and the other two, Qiānniǎo rushed over ecstatically, shouting, "Sister Susu! Sister Huadie! Sister Yao'er! I'm so happy to see you!"
Qiānniǎo was naturally sociable, coupled with her lively, petite, and cute personality. Most importantly, her mouth was sweet—she called everyone 'sister.' Whether it was Bai Susu, Huadie, or Mu Lingyao, they all liked her very much.
Ever since Gu Qingfeng returned from the Fengyue Small World, Bai Susu had almost always visited the Xiaoluo Secret Realm every so often. And every time she came, she brought many fine wines and delicacies.
As for Huadie and Mu Lingyao, after listening to Bai Susu's words last time, they didn't dare to get too close to such a mysterious and bizarre Great Old Master like Gu Qingfeng. However, they later still came to the Xiaoluo Secret Realm with Bai Susu. After all, they had already met in the Fengyue Small World. Since they knew Gu Qingfeng lived in the Xiaoluo Secret Realm, it was only proper to pay a visit. So, Bai Susu brought them under the pretense of a visit.
After that visit, the two would follow Bai Susu to the Xiaoluo Secret Realm every few days. After several visits, perhaps knowing that Gu Qingfeng was easygoing and didn't put on any airs as a Great Old Master, they both gradually relaxed and weren't as reserved as during the first few times.
"Susu pays her respects to the Great Old Master."
Upon seeing Gu Qingfeng, Bai Susu, as usual, curtsied in greeting. Huadie and Mu Lingyao did the same. Although Gu Qingfeng was easygoing and had long stated there was no need for such formality, the three still maintained their usual courtesy when meeting, especially Bai Susu. She always remained respectful and reverent towards Gu Qingfeng, not daring to be the slightest bit presumptuous or negligent. She felt that when facing such a mysterious and fearsome Great Old Master as Gu Qingfeng, one must always maintain a heart of awe.
Not only them, but ever since returning from the Fengyue Small World, everyone in the Xiaoluo Secret Realm, including the Patriarch and Qiānlíng, treated Gu Qingfeng with the utmost respect. Only Qiānniǎo dared to act freely in front of Gu Qingfeng.
"Sister Ling'er, you came just at the right time. I was just about to go look for you."
"What's wrong?"
"The Great Old Master is going to create a profound mystery phenomenon of our Great Natural Order for us to contemplate and visualize."
Hearing the words 'profound mystery phenomenon of the Great Natural Order,' Bai Susu, Qiānlíng, Huadie, and Mu Lingyao all showed expressions of shock. Perhaps Qiānniǎo didn't know what a profound mystery phenomenon of the Great Natural Order represented, but they knew very clearly. A profound mystery phenomenon of the Great Natural Order was a miraculous spectacle of the Natural Order, something that could be encountered by chance but not sought.
Usually, only when the Great Natural Order underwent a mutation would such a profound mystery phenomenon appear.
To be fortunate enough to encounter such a profound mystery phenomenon could be considered a tremendous stroke of fortune. With good luck, one could comprehend various profound mysteries of the Natural Order.
However, the reason a profound mystery phenomenon of the Great Natural Order was called a miraculous spectacle was because it formed due to inconceivable changes in the Yin-Yang and Five Elements of the Natural Order.
They had never heard that a profound mystery phenomenon of the Great Natural Order could be created artificially.
If a profound mystery phenomenon of the Great Natural Order could be created artificially, would it still be a miraculous spectacle of the Natural Order?
They also couldn't imagine what kind of person could create a profound mystery phenomenon of the Great Natural Order, unless it was the Mother of the Great Natural Order.
But the question was, was this Great Old Master the Mother of the Great Natural Order?
Was that possible?
