Chen Ping'an finished speaking, took off his straw sandals, rolled up his pant legs, and prepared to enter the water.
At this moment, the water where they were located was relatively shallow.
Even for children of their height,
the water would only reach their calves.
But before he could step into the water, Li Mubai stopped him.
“What’s wrong?”
Chen Ping'an tilted his head in confusion and looked at Li Mubai.
Didn’t they agree to start collecting stones?
He couldn’t understand why Li Mubai suddenly blocked him.
“Aren’t you afraid of the cold going in like that?” Li Mubai laughed.
Chen Ping'an shook his head, “I’m used to it; it’s not cold at all!”
He wasn’t being arrogant or trying to comfort himself.
He truly had gotten used to it.
Although it was winter now, he had no problem running around barefoot in the snow.
After all, he often went up the mountains to gather herbs.
In this deep winter, the ground was covered in snow.
His straw sandals would easily get wet.
At first, it was definitely icy and biting.
But over time, he found that he had adapted.
Moreover, he had previously gone to Longxu Stream to catch fish for his mother’s medicine and food.
“Silly child, how can you get used to this?”
Chen's mother looked at Chen Ping'an with a pained expression and gently rubbed his little head.
Then she infused a strand of divine power into Chen Ping'an's body.
Yes, divine power.
Normally, before the sealing of the Lizhu Cave Heaven was lifted, even the deities born here would be in a state of sealed power.
They couldn’t exert the strength a deity should have.
But after Li Mubai conferred her as a water deity, Chen's mother didn’t feel her strength suppressed at all.
It was as if the divine power was innate.
Completely at her command.
In addition to divine power, she also discovered that she possessed many water manipulation abilities.
Now, by infusing a strand of divine power into Chen Ping'an's body, she could ensure that he would not be harmed or submerged by the water in Longxu Stream.
The water would be very friendly to Chen Ping'an.
“What is this?”
Feeling the warm current of divine power suddenly surging into his body, Chen Ping'an looked at his mother with great confusion.
At this moment, he felt warm all over.
He hadn’t felt this way in a long time while going out in the winter.
“This is the divine power your mother has obtained, which can help you temporarily resist the cold and heat, allowing you to befriend the water in Longxu Stream and briefly possess the ability to manipulate water,” Chen's mother said with a smile as she rubbed Chen Ping'an's head again.
“Ah…”
Chen Ping'an's eyes widened.
Then he couldn’t help but raise his hand.
“Divine power!!”
“So this is what divine power is?!”
Chen Ping'an was filled with wonder.
At the same time, Zhi Gui beside him also widened her eyes.
She was very shocked.
She looked at Chen's mother in disbelief.
Then she turned her gaze to Li Mubai, “Master, what kind of conferment is this? How can she use divine power here! Isn’t the Lizhu Cave Heaven still sealed?”
Although Zhi Gui knew that her master was not affected by the seal of the Lizhu Cave Heaven,
she truly didn’t expect that after Li Mubai conferred Chen's mother as the water deity, it would allow her to also be unaffected by the seal.
It was truly astonishing.
“Uh, will it be sealed?” Chen's mother was stunned and somewhat confused.
She didn’t know about this.
She thought that deities like her born in the Lizhu Cave Heaven wouldn’t be affected in terms of strength.
It turned out she was an exception.
————————
In the classroom.
Qing Jingchun, who was healing, couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Although most of his attention was on himself,
he still kept some focus on Chen Ping'an and the others.
He was also somewhat shocked by Chen's mother’s situation.
He found it incredible.
He was curious about what kind of conferment could break the rules established by the Lizhu Cave Heaven and exist independently.
Although Old Yang and Old Yao could also use their powers,
they were both top experts at the Fourteenth Realm, just like him.
It was completely different from Chen's mother, who had just been born as a water deity.
So, while he was shocked, he couldn’t help but listen intently.
He wanted to see how Li Mubai would respond.
——————————————
“Didn’t you see it back then?” Li Mubai replied to Zhi Gui with a calm expression.
“But… this is too amazing!” Zhi Gui said with a wry smile, then couldn’t help but look at Li Mubai with shining eyes: “Master, do you think, cough cough, could I also be conferred?”
“Since Chen's mother can be conferred as a water deity, how could I, a legitimate true dragon, not be able to be conferred as a more powerful deity?”
If it were before today, Zhi Gui would certainly have looked down on becoming a deity.
But now that her master had conferred a deity who could break the rules of the Lizhu Cave Heaven,
didn’t that mean other places’ rules could also be broken?
This kind of deity, as long as they weren’t a fool, would definitely possess abilities that ordinary deities didn’t have.
If she became such a deity, then she might be able to regain her peak strength in one go, or even go further.
Moreover, the possibility of going further was definitely quite high.
