Book 6: Chapter 37: Penglai’s Immortal Elixir

“Your Majesty”

In the Heavenly Palace, Lu Wu reported to the Eastern Emperor Taiyi who was behind the curtain:

“Goddess Jiang Lan’s authority over the sea seems to have been successfully transferred to Marshal Bai.”

“Ha, yes, I finally heard the good news.”

Taiyi’s laughter came from behind the curtain.

“It seems that the magical medicine I have given is quite effective, and I am very pleased. Lu Wu, you tell the gods who made the magical medicine that I reward him with tens of thousands of money and five beauties.”

“Yes.”

Lu Wu bowed his head and replied.

The emperor and his subjects were silent for a moment, and then Lu Wu said:

“Your Majesty, are you still having that nightmare lately?”

“Yes…”

Eastern Emperor Taiyi replied in a deep voice.

It was absolutely impossible for a god to have some unprovoked dreams, not to mention Eastern Emperor Taiyi who was the Great Emperor of Heaven.

If even he was bothered by nightmares, that might not be a good thing for the entire Heavenly Palace.

“I have always dreamed of the sky collapsing, the stars falling, and the glory of the gods falling into the dust. I want to see the culprit clearly, but his figure is vague, even I can’t see through it. From his height, it is estimated that he is close to the common human race in the world.”

Eastern Emperor Taiyi murmured:

“Haven’t I done enough? Can’t the glory of the gods really last forever?”

Lu Wu was silent for a long time, and asked in a low voice tentatively:

“Can I share the worries with Your Majesty?”

When Eastern Emperor Tai heard the words, he also pondered for a long time, and then he replied:

“Lu Wu, if I dream of that nightmare again, then you must prepare for The Purge.”

—————-

In the east pole of the world, Bai Qiuran controlled Tranquil Autumn Water and followed Jinwu who was in the form of a three-legged crow.

With Jiang Lan’s selfless dedication, he was finally able to experience the feeling of flying on a sword. This kind of great freedom of riding in the wind, he could only experience it in his dreams before.

When stepping on the sword at the beginning, Bai Qiuran felt that he was already flying into the sky.

However, the more comfortable this feeling was, the heavier Bai Qiuran’s guilt, gratitude, and pity for Jiang Lan would be, which made him restrain his emotions faster than he thought, and followed Jinwu to Guixu.

And his way and speed of flying on the road made the three-legged crows surprised for a long time. This special way of flying in the air with the sword blade can be understood as Bai Qiuran’s special godhood, but his speed could also keep up with the speed of the sun, this surprised her very much.

One god and one human raced all the way. The speed of the three-legged crow was so fast that she could fly across the world in one day, thus even Bai Qiuran had to use all his True Qi to keep up.

The two of them went deep into the chaotic ocean and looked back, even the sacred tree Fusang which was towering into the clouds was out of their vision.

There were some dangerous sea beasts that are powerful and comparable to the gods in the sea, but Tranquil Autumn Water was created by Jiang Lan’s authority of the sea. Holding this divine sword, he was equal to the god of the sea, and these sea beasts naturally did not dare to trouble them.

It also saves me a lot of trouble.

Bai Qiuran thought in his heart.

After leaving for an unknown period of time, Jinwu suddenly stopped in mid-air and whispered:

“Marshal Bai, we are here.”

Bai Qiuran looked at the endless sea in front of him and asked:

“Is it not on the same plane with the main world?”

“almost.”

The three-legged crow stopped Bai Qiuran who wanted to move on, and solemnly reminded:

“Marshal Bai, let me tell you first. The time in Guixu is different from the outside. Moreover, since my father’s reign is over, I have not been here again. No one knows what situation Guixu is in now. It looks like it may be dangerous inside… Also, I can only take you into the shallow layer, please be careful.”

“It doesn’t matter, I am very grateful that you can take me into Guixu.”

After she finished speaking, the three-legged crow glowed with soft divine power, as if the warm feeling of the sun shining on her body enveloped Bai Qiuran’s whole body, and then she took Bai Qiuran through a wonderful space barrier and entered another dimension.

Above this sea, Bai Qiuran’s ears heard the sound of pattering water, as if there was a huge waterfall falling from a height.

The light in front of him dissipated, and he saw the magnificent scene in front of him.

In front of him and Sanzuwu, a fault appeared in the boundless sea, and the endless sea water turned into a huge, unimaginable waterfall, falling down from this fault. Under the fault, there is also an ocean, but it seems to be fundamental. It can’t be filled, no matter how the water of the sea is injected into it, the water level of the ocean below does not grow at all.

The clouds in the sky also disappeared and turned into a dark and endless void. Beyond the tens of thousands of meters above the sky, there are some large and small, broken and dead mountains or stars floating in the sky.

“This is Guixu.”

Jinwu pointed at the boundless sea below.

“This vast ocean is bottomless. I don’t know what’s in it. I can only help you get here. Be careful on the road behind, Marshal Bai.”

“I see.”

Bai Qiuran gave her a hand:

“Thank you.”

After bidding farewell to her, Bai Qiuran’s sword slowly descended from this huge waterfall, into the boundless hometown.

After officially entering this bottomless abyss, which was shorter than the sea, Bai Qiuran truly felt a weird sense of distortion. That feeling may be strange to others, but it was very familiar with Bai Qiuran and Wise Immortal, who have been in the river of time.

“Hey, Wise Immortal.”

He shouted:

“This feeling is not my illusion, is it?”

“No.”

Wise Immortal, who was hung on his waist, said:

“This is indeed a sense of time dislocation, the three-legged crow is not lying.”

“Be safe, hurry up.”

When Bai Qiuran thought of Jiang Lan alone outside, somehow he felt very worried for no reason. He poured all his strength into the sword, and the whole person turned into a stream of light, crossing through this bottomless ocean.

After traveling an unknown distance of thousands of miles, Bai Qiuran finally found a huge flat-topped mountain in this bottomless ocean.

This mountain range was very vast. Under Bai Qiuran’s visual observation, the flat top of that mountain may be close to ten thousand miles in diameter, and the entire mountain range was surrounded by a terrible distance of thirty to forty thousand miles.

There were some white crystals growing on the mountains, and some look like distorted plant shapes, but there are no flowers, leaves, or fruits on them.

On the flat top of the mountain, there were still some building debris shadows. Bai Qiuran landed on it. After searching around, he found a stone stele near the edge with two divine texts written on it.

“Dai Yu?”

With the help of Jiang Lan, Bai Qiuran had analyzed more than half of the divine texts, so he recognized these two characters.

“There are still some texts engraved in the lower-left corner.”

The sharp-eyed Bai Qiuran saw the text in the lower-left corner of the stele, but it was not the text used in his time or this era, but some pictographic symbols. He took Wise Immortal down, facing there to translate those words.

“Let me see, um, this is the text left by the First Heaven Jealousy.”

Wise Immortal understood, translated:

[I finally found it! This is the legendary Shaohao Kingdom. Daiyu is here, which means Penglai must be somewhere. When I find the Penglai’s Immortal Elixir, my people will be saved!]

“Penglai’s Immortal Elixir?”

Bai Qiuran also heard similar legends in later generations. He asked:

“Does it really exist?”

“Perhaps it once existed.”

Wise Immortal replied:

“But I don’t think there is any of it left in this place.”

“Keep on searching.”

Bai Qiuran’s sword flew up and left the mountain.

When he was in the sky on the top of this mountain just now, he looked far away and found another similar mountain. Since the text on this was written in this way, then the first First Heaven Jealousy must be on a sacred mountain nearby.
