Chapter 64 - 64. Holy Waterfall
"Hmm, okay," said Xiao Ying then stood up.
"Get ready," he added again and the three of them took the same position.
??Xiao Ying returned to using his magic and slowly a change that could be seen with the naked eye occurred in front of them. The previously vast flower field was slowly turning into an area like the first time Fu Xie Lan had set foot in this place.
The castle that stands majestically, beautiful flowing creeks, a variety of trees that line up neatly with all kinds of rocks arranged to fill the path that leads to the castle. Only one thing has not changed, it is the gazebo they are in now. Fu Xie Lan had been amazed by the old man's magic for a long time this was the first time seeing the process of creating space that was so amazing for her.
"Come on," said Xiao Ying when he was done with his magic.
They then started to walk away from the gazebo and followed the direction where Xiao Ying was walking, it was towards his castle.
Fu Xie Lan kept glancing left and right looking at everything in that place.
Walking into the castle, various kinds of carvings fill the walls and some abstract paintings can be seen hanging at some points. The pillars stand firmly with various types of vines. No, it turned out to be no ordinary vine, on closer inspection, it was a vine with very small flowers filling its stems. If previously she was only in the outer part of the castle, now they walked far into the castle.
An open area entered their view, if they looked closely it seemed to be right at the center of the castle. There is only a fountain standing in the middle. It was roughly about twice the height of Wan Lie's body. The water that flows comes from a stone in the form of a giant jug that seems to float in the air, causing the water to appear to spill and surround the entire side of the jug.
They continued to walk towards the fountain, Xiao Ying seemed to be lifting his feet across the water barrier with the floor. Although somewhat doubtful Fu Xie Lan and Wan Lie also did the same. The first time her feet touched the water, what she felt was cold and so fresh.
Suddenly the fountain that previously flowed calmly now opened like a curtain as if to make room for them to step in. There was nothing to be seen after the curtains were opened, it was only dark.
Xiao Ying turned around for a moment to look at Huang Bao, Fu Xie Lan, and Wan Lie, gave a nod then stepped through the open water curtain, followed by the three people standing behind him earlier.

The same feeling when passing through the door connected to Xiao Ying castle, Fu Xie Lan no longer felt strange. Only a very bright light seemed to shine on her made her close her eyes for a moment waiting for the light to dim.
Opened her eyes slowly, a river flow was right not far from in front of her, the water was very clear, various types of small rocks that had different colors seemed very clearly filled the riverbed. Strangely, the river seemed to have no current and moved so quietly that one would have a hard time detecting which way the water was going.
Fu Xie Lan's pupils then looked for the source of the stream. It was a seven-level waterfall that was so tall. The water flows very fast before touching the bottom of the waterfall and immediately turns into a very calm flow, very different from waterfalls in general.
Several low trees were surrounding the sides, with rocks rising on the surface and extending into the middle of the river like a barrier.
There were stair running up both sides of the falls, only a few stairs and leading to a rock that looked more like a parapet that ran from one end to the other
Xiao Ying headed for the stairs, but before that, he turned around for a moment to make sure the three people were following him.
They then climbed the stairs and after arriving at the last step, a large rock with a flat surface entered Fu Xie Lan's view, it was right in the middle of the waterfall.
The sound of falling water creates a very peaceful impression. Fu Xie Lan then looked around again and only dense trees could be seen around the waterfall as far as her eyes could see with the stream disappearing behind the thick trees.
"Is this the sacred waterfall that Uncle meant?" Fu Xie Lan asked Xiao Ying.
"Right, are you ready?" said Xiao Ying again repeating the previous question.
"Yes, Uncle."
"You just have to walk towards the rock in there and then sit on it, let the water soak your body for a few minutes. And after that, you will feel it for yourself," now Huang Bao spoke.
Hearing her teacher's words, Fu Xie Lan just nodded and without the slightest hesitation, she lifted one of her feet to touch the water which looked very calm.
"Mom, I am..."
"I told you, stop worrying about me Wan Lie," interrupted Fu Xie Lan whose footwork was stopped by Wan Lie.
Wan Lie just let out a sigh, it was clear that his face was very worried about Fu Xie Lan. How about not? Even though Dark Zore was able to make his mother stronger, letting her go alone to such that place made his heart uneasy.
Fu Xie Lan again tried to go towards the big rock that Huang Bao meant, the first impression at the moment her feet touched the water was cold, then after a while, she felt strange in her body, for a few seconds she feels like she's not herself and it was as if something was pulling her and feelings continued until she reached the rock, and it was managed to make her feel nauseous. Without her knowing the color of her eyes continued to change from violet to sapphire blue, it happened for a few seconds.
The falling water stream managed to make her whole body soaked, occasionally her hands rubbed her face to keep her vision clear, it turned out that the depth of the water after being in the middle was only up to her chest. Fu Xie Lan was confused about how she had arrived at the rock face in front of her which was about twice her body height.
Suddenly the water around her moved and slowly formed a vortex centered on her body, lifting her towards the rock face.
Of course, Fu Xie Lan was shocked by the sudden movement.
After being on top, a rune (pattern) with intricate carvings appeared on the surface of the stone. Without a second thought, Fu Xie Lan walked to the center of the boulder and took a sitting position with her legs crossed forward. The nauseous feeling that had been bothering her didn't stop her from moving.
Slowly closing her eyes and starting to concentrate. For a few seconds, Fu Xie Lan didn't feel anything. But the more she focused herself, something seemed to be pulling on her until she couldn't feel anything else but to feel herself floating and heading somewhere.
A few minutes had passed, the runes that filled the stone surface suddenly emitted light, from dim and then became very bright making the three people who were on the river bank raise their hands to cover their faces due to the glare of the light. It only happened a few seconds then it went dim again.
"Prepare yourselves," Xiao Ying said to Wan Lie and Huang Bao.
