Zhang Lianhua Pov:
I had followed the girl to this stream, hiding myself and presence behind the trees, waiting —observing, and slightly jealous at how Xianyu's eyes lingered on the shameless man's rod for more than a second.
I watched her bring up a bet, and almost coughed out blood when she said she would give all of herself to this strange man if she were to lose. Does she have no modesty? Doesn't she care about her chastity?
I found myself seething with jealousy and anger towards her. All I did was act a bit mysterious and she left me, and not long after she decided to find herself another partner.
How infuriating can one person be? Mentally sighing, I watched as the man agreed to the bet with a lecherous smirk on his lips, eying Xianyu's perfect body, and most definitely fantasizing about what she looks like underneath that veil.
Xianyu closed her eyes, and started to meditate, I felt all the Qi surrounding this area become agitated, but only one type of Qi was allowed to move towards the girl, the Water Qi.
The moment the Water Qi touched her body something beautiful and mystical happened, the scattered Water Qi particles began to merge like an oceanic tide, attracted to the girl.
The Water Qi that had been attracted towards the man, immediately abandoned him, which made his jaw slack with shock, most definitely something that had never happened before to him. I'd wager it was because of those mysterious tattoos on his body.
The stream also rose, transforming Water Qi, and gathering around the girl, fusing with the other scattered Qi, and forming into something that made my mouth gape. It was forming into Crystallised Qi.
Someone of my level has already witnessed many Crystallised Qi, but not ones as vast as the sea or the wind, but smaller ones such that from volcanoes, mountains where Earth Qi is more abundant and many more such place, like the stream or rivers.
But something such as this has never in the history of cultivation happened to an Early-rank of the Manifestation Layer, it was simply unprecedented, even with those with Heavenly Constitution, it was a never seen before phenomenon.
What is the secret of the girl? I believe it has something to do with the Unique Physique I failed to see through, which makes me wonder, in terms of ranking among Heavenly Constitutions, Heavenly Physiques, Celestial Physiques, and Heaven Gifted Blessings, how high and deep does it rank up?
Shaking my head I refocused back on the phenomenon happening here. When the Crystallised Water Qi formed, it compressed into the size of a fist, and rushed into Xianyu's body.
I sensed her stage go from Early-rank Resonance Awakening, to Mid-rank Energy Projection, to Late-rank Domain Sensory and lastly Peak-rank Peak Manifestation.
She couldn't advance anymore, and I knew the reason why, it's the reason why the heavens have only ever allowed even the Heaven Blessed individuals to awaken only Four Forces. It's because in order to truly advance, one must reach the peak of each layer with all their Forces.
And Xianyu just had the misfortune of awakening all of them. But there was a deeper reason why each individual had to limit their focus on few Forces, it's because it's not easy to advance just one Force let alone four or more at the same time.
But the fact Xianyu managed to do something that even Geniuses take two to three years to achieve in a mere hour was a face slap to those who sacrificed everything to advance just one step. I could also attest to that.
My eyes widened as I felt Law Principles, rippling and raging inside the girl's body. Don't tell me, she's comprehended something of law in nature barely being a peak-rank in her Water Force? T-this i-is simply cheating.

Lu Xianyu Pov:
When I reached the Peak-rank of Manifestation Layer, I sensed I was at my limit due to being behind with my other Forces. But there was still so much Water Qi left, threatening to burst out of my body, tearing me apart.
When I felt like calling for help, I suddenly became dazed, as my eyes glazed over. A stream of information containing hints of Universal Laws.
I gained some cosmic truth into the creation of life—creation of a Water Spirit, known as the once extinct Elemental Fairy of the water nature.
This insights propelled me to create this Fairy, using my bloodlines as the catalyst and the abundant energy from both the weird flower and most importantly the Crystallised Water Qi as its heart.
This was something unprecedented, but also urgent as I felt this Qi leaking out of my body in a "I'm about to implode," kind of way. Exhaling, I closed my eyes began my creation of life.
What I had to do was follow the instructions I have gained through sudden comprehension, as for the soul, if I manage to succeed the Heaven will bestow my child with it.
A turbulence suddenly pulsed in my resonance core, straining, brimming with power too dense, too wild. That's how I knew, I had to hurry, the crystallized Water Qi was beginning to swell.
I could feel it. The pressure. Like an ocean trying to burst through fragile glass. I was on the verge of implosion. My body trembled not from fear, but from the overwhelming tide of something greater coursing through me.
A stream of knowledge was now pouring into my mind with surgical precision, making the flood of Universal Law fragments more present. Now I could clearly 'see' and feel the encoded shimmering currents of comprehension.
It was the Cosmic insights into the miracle of life. Now understanding more clearly, I no longer hesitated. I edged the weird flower and stirred it to life.
And boiled my bloodline of my Charm Physique to also stir from it's slumber. It will serve as a womb for my creation.
I began the process.
First, I shaped the Resonance Water Realm within my Resonance Core I had cultivated to the peak of my Manifestation Layer—into a cradle.
Water bloomed around me, not in drops, but in forms: ribbons, pearls, sacred runes born of intent. The crystalline Water Qi condensed further, drawn into a single radiant core—a heart of divine clarity. It hovered in my palm like a dying star desperate to be reborn.
It would become the Fairy's heart, the core of her existence.
Then came the catalyst—my blood. Not mortal blood, but Charm-blood, the essence of a reality-twisting lineage. It dripped into the core, turning its pure blue to an opaline shimmer. Reality trembled. Space bent slightly around me.
At the back of my mind I was scared for my life, but I knew with certainty Zhang Lianhua had my back, I hope. So I followed the steps laid bare in my comprehension.
They weren't instructions so much as echoes—intuitions carved into the cosmos. I shaped her body, her vessel. Petite. Ethereal. Her hair the color of moonlit oceans, her eyes reflecting the unfathomable depths of still lakes. Limbs crafted from dew that never evaporates. Skin like flowing crystal. Basically she was just blue.
But a body without a soul is just a vessel.
Here... I had to wait. I had to believe.
The Qi in my body calmed, and in that moment the skies roared.
Lightning flashed without thunder. A silver tear in the clouds hung above, and for a breathless second, the world stood still. A single strand of celestial essence fell from the tear, drifting into the fairy's chest like a falling snowflake.
She breathed.
Her eyes opened.
She looked at me, and my world changed.

Lin Qiming Pov:
Shock subsided from the continuous events I just witnessed in a span of three hours, now greed ingrained deep in my soul stirred to life, as I desired the life that was created right before my very eyes.
My bloodlines boiled, searing, as it was wanted that life for itself.
'I must have it,' a thought echoed in my mind. I could not tell whether it was from me or my blood lusting for the life with pure elemental affinity to water.
'I must have it...'

Zhang Lianhua Pov:
What did I just witness? No, questions for later, big shots from here to the Immortal Dominion must've sensed this once in a lifetime phenomenon. I must leave this place immediately.
I disappeared from where I stood, picked up the girl and disappeared into thin air without disturbing a single grain of sand.

Third Pov:
When Qiming saw the strange seductive woman disappear before he could attack. He realised she had a deep background to be protected by someone that strong.
Then it hit him, the person who was protecting the seductive woman didn't kill him after sensing his intentions but simply ran away with the girl. Why would this mysterious guardian do that?
It's because of unprecedented phenomenon that had just happened. Meaning this place has just attracted the eyes of big shots all over the mortal realm.
With an agitated expression he immediately activated his movement technique, and disappeared from where he floated.
