(Kellen the Great and the Water Spirit Queen had two "special" masters in their lifetime. And these two apprenticeships had a direct impact on the extraordinary lives of Kellen the Great and the Water Spirit Queen.
The first of the two apprenticesies was the most bizarre.
Because they met one of the primordial creation gods, no... To be precise, it was one of the gods of the primordial creation who chose the two young children.
This creator is the Celestial Lord.
However, at that time, Emperor Kellen and Empress Water Spirit were still very young and had no idea at all what the identity of this mysterious mentor was. It was not until Kellen the Great had fully opened up the realm of creation that the veil of mystery of her master was gradually lifted.

※——※——※
Water Elara laughed joyfully: "All right, all right! Kellen, you already have a name and you've been happy. Shall we start training now?"
Kellen said excitedly, "Good, good! Wait for me!"
Kellen went up to the blue Pool, put away her excitement and composed herself. Sitting cross-legged, with eyes slightly closed and hands six in sync, Qian South, Kun north, Li East, Kan West, Dui southeast, Zhen Northeast, Xun Southwest, Gen northwest, eight different hexagrams were generated simultaneously from eight directions, spinning rapidly, settling in an instant, and then slowly descending in the corresponding direction, forming a shallow eight trigram water mark on the surface of the blue jade pool.
A moment later, in the center of the Eight Trigrams watermark, at the two poles of Yin and Yang, a golden light slowly flashed, and the golden light slowly spread in the cave, revealing a huge inscription, followed by another! Another one! One side after another, the two sides joined in a ring, enclosing the two children right in the center of the inscription. The water Elara counted them one by one and found exactly thirty-six inscriptions, and the font symbols on the inscriptions were clearly from the water tribe!
"Oh my god!" said Water Elara excitedly. From the lowest of the primordial powers of the Aquariums to the higher powers of the Aquariums, and the primordial powers of the primordial aquariums that have never been heard of, all are recorded in detail! It's simply incredible! I wonder if your uncle has ever heard of this?"
"This is a mantra. You have only one hour to remember it. It depends on your luck!" An old voice, like a bronze bell, suddenly rang out, and water Elara, in a moment of surprise, settled down and wrote carefully:
"Opening the Dharma, no desire, no demand! The clear stream is clear, the turbid stream is turbid. A tree will wither without a source, and water will dry up without a source. Running water does not go bad and a door hinge does not get worm-eaten. There is no still tree on the mountain, and no still stream on the river. A sharp mountain is not high, and a narrow stream is not deep. Hills are not high because they are low, and rivers are large because they are filled with water. The great mountain does not establish likes and dislikes, and thus it can reach its height; Rivers and seas do not choose small helpers, so they become rich. The sea does not refuse water, so it becomes great. Running water is a thing that does not fill up. The source is muddled, day and night.
When the wind blows, the waves rise; when there is no tide, they calm down. A drop is indecisive, but a rock can wear through. Gold is broken by hardness, water is made by softness. It is better to remove the firewood than to quench the boiling water. It's too late to regret not collecting the water. Water is fierce, and a young person is far. The greatest good is like water. Water benefits all things without contention. There is no weakness in the world than water, and no strong force can overcome it, because it is impossible to change. The flow of water avoids high and flows down; the flow of water is controlled by the ground. When it gets cold, it becomes ice; when it gets hot, it becomes steam. Therefore, water has no constant form.
Both force and dharma are sources, and the Dao is transformed into nature: the wise delight in water, the benevolent delight in mountains; The wise move, the benevolent still; The wise are happy, the benevolent live long. He is called a god."
An hour later, the thirty-six inscriptions vanished indeed!
"No, how could this be!" Water Elara shouted, her innocent voice lingering in the cave for a long time.
Kellen took the magic, rose and laughed, "Did you not remember it because the time was too short?"
Water Elara Airway: "How could you laugh? Could it be that you remember it all?"
Kellen had another innocent smile: "Giggle... Of course, having a photographic memory, that's my gift! You can't do it?"
Water Elara "Humph!" Turning his head, he said crossly, "What's so great about it? I have one skill that you surely don't have!"
Kellen: "What is it?
Water Elara said coquettishly: "Innate insight! Insight, do you understand? I understand it about 80% familiar. How about you?"
Kellen laughed: "You are indeed brilliant, but no matter how perceptive you are, if you don't remember everything, it's all in vain, isn't it? How about this? I recite, you explain, and we practice together, isn't that okay?"
"Then you must recite it without reservation and not hide anything from me, or your spirit will surpass mine!" said Water Elara, coquetted.
Kellen: "Not at all! Why should I keep the mnemonic secret? You're getting me off the mark! I'm angry!"
Water Elara said coquettishly, "Well, I believe you! Pull the hook!"
Kellen: "Pull the hook? What is it?"
"The hook is the vow!" said Water Elara, coquettishly. Stretch out your little finger, hooked little finger."
Kellen, at Water Elara's coquettish request, stretched her little finger over and gently hooked Water Elara's little finger. That feeling was really strange. My mind is full of confusion. What is this up to?
Water Elara, following the steps of the hook-pulling oath, said: "Follow me: Hook-pulling - hanging." Kellen: "Pull the hook up..."
Water Elara went on, "A hundred years - no change!" Kellen: "No one hundred years!"
Water Elara laughed and said, "Well, let's do it again and say together, 'Pull the hook and hang, no change for a hundred years!'"
Kellen giggled, "Is it that simple?"
Water Elara laughed: "Yes!" This is the vow!"
"All right, come together," Kellen giggled.
"Pull the hook and hoist, no change for a hundred years!" Two innocent children's words, laughing in unison, echoed for a long time in the fairy cave of the Jade Pool. It became an unchanging fairy tale, an unchanging childhood memory, an unchanging childhood in the journey of their life... That, a vow to pull the hook.
※※※
In my sleep, there was a pale expanse before my eyes, and I felt as if I were flying in the air, not seeing the ground beneath my feet or the blue sky above my head. There was only a patch of pale, and I approached a figure that seemed familiar, and took a closer look. It turned out to be Kellen!
"Hey - where are we?" "Water Elara asked in surprise.
"The place where I first met my master! Don't be afraid, it's a dream!" Kellen's innocent smile never stopped anywhere.
"It was in a dream? Amazing!" Water Elara was surprised to hear that it was in a dream. For she knew that the dream was not hers alone, but with Kellen, and that she could see her master! How strange it is to have a dream with two people! Could it be that the master is also in a dream? If so, it would be a dream of three people! Amazing!
"Both disciples are here, very good, very good." An old voice came from above, and Water Elara reacted naturally, looking up. It turned out to be an old man in a white robe, and this old man must be the master Kellen was talking about! So tall, the greatest giant I've ever seen in my life! It seems as tall as Xuantian Cliff.
A long, grizzled beard that hung down like a giant waterfall. There was a rosy glow on the face, but no wrinkles were visible! Under the long, willet-like eyebrows, a pair of bright, fiery eyes shone with golden light. Behind the high, grizzled bun was the source of the fierce white light, and it was this light that illuminated the place as a white alternate dimension!
Water Elara sighed to herself: How powerful a spirit technique is needed! Stealthily exerting the spirit technique, yet not noticing anything! The master in front of him is not a spirit either! How amazing!
"Disciple pays homage to Master!" When Kellen saw the Venerable Tenmoku, she naturally bowed down, which was a courtesy.
Water Elara followed Kellen and bowed down too, saying, "Disciple pays homage to the master!"
Tenmoku chuckled, his voice lingering for a long time, and said, "Wonderful, truly wonderful! To have a female disciple is truly unexpected! Elara raised her head and stretched out her little hand."
Water Elara, hearing her master tell her to raise her head and stretch out her hand, quickly raised her head and stretched out her hand. Just watch the huge dust in the hand of the Venerable Tenmoku swing into the air, and two giant jade earrings fall from the sky, vertically, as if they could crush a million little girls like Elara! But in the moment it was close to Elara, it suddenly turned into two delicate, shiny, small jade earrings that landed right in the middle of the little hand of Water Elara. The water Elara was overjoyed because the gift was truly beautiful and magical!
Water Elara laughed and asked, "Master, is it for Elara?"
Tenmoku smiled and nodded, "Take it with you. It has a special purpose!"
The water Elara put it on his ear without thinking. It's really amazing that he doesn't need a piercing in his ear! Smiling innocently, he thanked Tenmoku, "Thank you, Master!"
Kellen peeked stealthily. The originally pretty and lovely water Elara was suddenly adorned with such a pair of charming and exquisite ear pendants, and her face was even more radiant. Thought to herself: How beautiful!
Venerable Tianmu smiled and said, "Elara is truly a wonderful life!" This pair of earrings will help you hear the master's words anytime and anywhere.
Kellen's disciples, however, did not. As fellow spiritual beings, Kellen had no past. Her spiritual spirit did not come from the World Origin Continent but was born by gathering the essence of the sun and moon and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. He is a great creation, able to understand all sounds that can be sensed in the three realms and five domains of heaven, earth, sun and moon!
You are different, and you have no future! The cycle of life and death, going on and on, is the way of nature! You can resist it! And an extraordinary stroke of luck! Hehe... But your spirit body and spirit spirit are born from the World Origin continent, and you can only understand the words of the spirit race! That's why the master gave you this pair of earrings, so that they could be used to teach you in the future.
Don't be overjoyed. Earrings won't help you master spiritual techniques quickly. Spiritual techniques need to be practiced carefully! Also, both of you are five years old this year..."
Kellen glanced up stealthily. Master Tenmoku was pinching his fingers. It seemed that Master was predicting something again.
Tianmu chuckled and said, "This year is a great year for Kellen's disciple, and he is expected to master the Seven spiritual arts!" But to break through these seven spiritual skills, there are still two major hurdles, one is at the age of nine! One is at eighteen! Elara, you have to help him!"
Water Elara was completely confused. "What are the two major festivals?" She had never heard of it before, but when her master asked her to help Kellen, she immediately responded: "Yes!"
The Venerable Tenmoku laughed and said, "What a clever and sensible child! Elara, you have two New years too, one at the age of twelve, one at... Coincidentally, it's also eighteen! Kellen, you have to help her!"
"Yes," asked Kellen, looking innocent and puzzled. But I don't know how to help?"
"Water without wind does not make waves, and wind without water does not make waves! Do you two understand?"
Water Elara nodded and said, "Understood!" Kellen shook her head, saying, "I don't know!"
"Then you'll know!" Tianmu said with a chuckle. That's what I want to say today. But there's something else to say: This year is the upright year for Kellen, and she's going to achieve great things! Elara, you should focus on helping Kellen master the seven spiritual arts. Next year is Elara's upright year. Do not be in a hurry. Be patient and wait until next year. Kellen will do her best to help Elara master the Seven Spiritual arts at that time! Master's warning: There are tribulations in spiritual practice, and if you go against them, all seven souls and six spirits will be reduced to ashes! Remember! Remember!"
Kellen, Water Elara bowed and said, "Disciple, remember!"
Tenmoku laughed and said, "Very well!" Very good! Elara, don't be idle this year either. While taking care of Kellen's training, let Kellen help you practice some martial arts, starting with the beginner level of mountain climbing. Kellen apprentice?"
Kellen raised her little face, looked up at her master's high, kind smile and pouted her little lips, saying, "Disciple is listening, Master."
The Venerable Tianmu laughed and said, "Teach Elara all the mountain climbing skills of these years. Besides, don't put these skills aside and continue to practice. Although you may have the chance to master the seven spiritual arts in a year, the spiritual arts will eventually need to break through the barriers to be considered complete. Mastering the seven spiritual arts is only the initial stage. True perfection is in the continuous use of the spiritual arts, gradually improving the spiritual arts, evolving the soul, and gradually becoming a highly respected and powerful person!"
Water Elara couldn't help but open her mouth wide, thinking: Just in the inscriptions of the water spirit art, there are already the inscriptions of the water primordial spirit art and primordial spirit power, which I'm afraid even such a powerful water martial emperor as his uncle has never heard of! Once cultivated, it foretells that no one in the water race can match! In terms of identity and status, they are far above the rank of the Martial emperor!
If one masters all the seven spiritual arts, it would be no problem to navigate the five spiritual domains freely! The supreme honor can be imagined!
But what the master meant was that mastering the Seven Spiritual Arts was just the beginning? Breaking through the entrance is perfect, but constantly using spiritual techniques can actually lead to spiritual technique elevation! Not only that, but you can also evolve your soul!
You know, the body can evolve, but I never thought the soul could evolve too! How powerful a spirit technique would that require? Nirvana! Could this be the Nirvana that the space of Suppression speaks of? If Nirvana is truly possible... Thinking of this, Water Elara couldn't help but feel a hint of joy across the corner of her mouth. Father, mother! Be sure to wait for Elara to save you!
