WALKING BY THE ABYSS ON THIN ICE - Chapter 348: Xuan Yuan was here
Chapter 348: Xuan Yuan was here
But the most shocking thing was the clusters of osmanthus flowers. The number of osmanthus flowers was unexpectedly large, numbering in the billions!
When Su Yun first saw the branches of the osmanthus tree, he only saw the clusters of osmanthus flowers on his branch. When he arrived at Guanghan Mountain, he only saw withered osmanthus trees and not many osmanthus flowers.
But now, standing at the top of Guanghan Mountain, he could see the countless branches of the osmanthus tree piercing through each world, and each branch was covered with countless clusters of osmanthus flowers!
“That’s not osmanthus flowers! It’s the Winged Dragon’s Heavenly Eye!”
Su Yun shouted in a low voice, activating his Heavenly Eye to try and see the osmanthus flowers in other worlds. However, to his surprise, he could only open one Heavenly Eye!
The other seventy-one Heavenly Eyes had no world energy, only this one Heavenly Eye was filled with unimaginable world energy!
The world energy surging out of this Heavenly Eye even surpassed the total of the other seventy-one Heavenly Eyes on normal days!
“This…”
Su Yun was greatly shocked, and a difficult-to-believe conjecture formed in his mind: “Guanghan Mountain in the Immortal Realm is actually another one of the seventy-two Heavenly Eyes!”
Behind him, the giant Winged Dragon’s Heavenly Eye rapidly formed, and the Heavenly Eye looked at the osmanthus tree. He saw that the billions of flowers were actually individual Heavenly Eyes, constantly appearing and disappearing!
On the osmanthus tree, Heavenly Eyes closed while new Heavenly Eyes opened!
Each Heavenly Eye represented a spiritual cultivator. The fact that there were so many Heavenly Eyes of spiritual cultivators turned into osmanthus flowers hanging on this Guanghan Mountain could only mean one thing: Guanghan Mountain was a fragment of the Seventh Spiritual Realm!
Just like the Celestial Market Wall, it was also a fragment of the Seventh Spiritual Realm!
Su Yun regained his composure, dispelled the Winged Dragon’s Heavenly Eye, and told Wu Tong his conjecture.
“If Guanghan is one of the seventy-two Heavenly Eyes, does that mean that the Seventh Spiritual Realm is the Immortal Realm?”
Wu Tong, who was weak at the moment, pondered and said, “In our clan’s ancient books, this place is called the Immortal Realm Guanghan Mountain, and it contains the words ‘Immortal Realm’.”
Su Yun helped her onto the platform and said, “I also had a similar conjecture, but if the conjecture is true, there are many doubts that cannot be explained. For example, why did the Immortal Realm shatter? Why did it split into seventy-two pieces? Why did one of them fall to the Celestial Market Wall?”
Wu Tong said, “And why is there the Northern Crown Great Wall? If the Immortal Realm has already been destroyed, the Northern Crown Great Wall should not have been spared. However, the Northern Crown Great Wall is still there, blocking the ascension of saints and preventing the gods and demons from returning to the Immortal Realm.”
Su Yun nodded, finding it indeed strange.
He looked up at the huge stars in the sky and murmured, “Why did these stars become dead places? Why does the calamity dust keep falling there? Why hasn’t it given birth to new world energy and nurtured a new civilization like our world?”
Wu Tong also fell into a daze and said softly, “Where are my people? Are they still alive?”
Although she had lost hope, seeing that the osmanthus tree connected to the vast world ignited a glimmer of hope in her heart.
Ying Ying took out a pen and quickly recorded their questions.
Su Yun suddenly smiled and said, “We came here to take a bath, so let’s not think about these messy things for now and focus on bathing.”
He helped the weak girl onto the platform and saw that this was a resting point on the way up Guanghan Mountain. There was a lonely door on the platform.
It was a wooden door with two stone steps below it. There was nothing in front of the door and nothing behind it.
Su Yun walked up and knocked on the door, smiling, “Is anyone home?”
Ying Ying and Wu Tong nervously stared at the door, afraid that it would suddenly open.
Su Yun waited for a moment but received no response. He gently pushed the door and saw that it opened. The young man stuck his head in, and inside the door was another world, as well as a jade pool. Unfortunately, the pool was already empty, without a drop of water.
Su Yun turned around and shouted, “Osmanthus tree, there’s no bathwater here!”
Wu Tong walked up and looked at the small world behind the door. Indeed, the pool was empty. She couldn’t help but feel disappointed and murmured, “No one has taken care of this place for many years. According to the ancient books, this was originally the first battle…”
She was very weak and could only move around reluctantly, observing everything behind the door. She whispered, “The books say that young men and women from various worlds gather here to compete. Only the winners can enter the Moon Pool to bathe…”
She became despondent again, and the glimmer of hope that had just arisen suddenly shattered, “If there are surviving clan members, they would definitely come here, and the pool would never dry up. If the pool has dried up, it means…”
Suddenly, the small world inside the door began to shake. Wu Tong hurriedly held onto the door frame and struggled to come out. She saw Su Yun trying to move the wooden door and put it into his spiritual realm.
“What are you doing?” Wu Tong was furious, her almond-shaped eyes widened.
Ying Ying stood on Su Yun’s shoulder, cheering for him, and said, “We can’t leave empty-handed. Since we can’t bathe in the Moon Pool, we should get something in return!”
Wu Tong was so angry that she gritted her teeth, “I won’t leave empty-handed! Is this how you taught Su Yun, you scoundrel?”
Ying Ying said matter-of-factly, “Yes! Wu Tong, you’re a human-demon. Your Dao heart is only damaged, so you have a bit of humanity left. Don’t try to teach me. You used to be even worse.”
Su Yun finally put the door into his spiritual realm, breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled, “From now on, I’ll lock those gods and demons in here and seal them. I won’t need to use my memory to seal them anymore.”
He looked up and saw that there were still steps leading to a higher level on Guanghan Mountain. He couldn’t help but be curious and asked Wu Tong, “Senior Sister Wu Tong, what do you think is up there?”
“I don’t know!” Wu Tong said angrily.
Su Yun glanced at her in surprise and wondered, “After her Dao heart shattered, she actually became a bit more human.”
The previous Wu Tong, despite being seductive and changeable, was actually very proud and cold. She only manipulated your heart, making you think that she had various intimate and even promiscuous actions, but in reality, those were all illusions. The real Wu Tong was always far away from you.But now, Wu Tong seemed like a weak woman with various temperaments.
Su Yun’s mind moved slightly, and the Immortal Rope flew out, binding Wu Tong tightly and throwing her into the sky.
The sky was naturally a dusty sky.
Su Yun lost his sight when he was young, so he developed a cautious personality. Wherever he went, the dusty sky would be the first thing he summoned. It would turn into clouds and move with his movements, always prepared for unexpected situations.
Wu Tong struggled like a caterpillar on the dusty sky and said, “Let me down! Don’t forget, I am your senior sister!”
“Not anymore.”
Su Yun carried Ying Ying and climbed the steps, quickly ascending the mountain, saying, “Wu Tong, we don’t have much time to waste. The spiritual beings on the moon may completely disappear at any time. We should explore this place as soon as possible!”
Although he was climbing, his speed was astonishing. With each step, he surpassed the sound barrier and rushed towards the top of Guanghan Mountain!
The white clouds formed by the dusty sky followed him, also surpassing the sound barrier with a loud noise. Wu Tong was tossed around and vomited continuously. Fortunately, she was tied to the clouds by the Immortal Rope, so she wasn’t thrown away.
Ahead, there was another platform with a gateway.
Su Yun pushed the door and looked inside. There was also a moon pool in the gateway, but it had dried up.
Wu Tong finally recovered a bit and leaned over the cloud, saying, “You let me down! Remember, I am your senior sister!”
“Not now.”
Su Yun laughed and continued to run up the mountain. Suddenly, he broke the sound barrier again and threw her away.
“When I regain my Dao Heart, I will kill you!” Wu Tong’s voice came from the cloud. Su Yun didn’t know if he heard it.
During this climb, Guanghan Mountain was several hundred miles high and thousands of miles wide. Su Yun encountered dozens of wooden doors along the way, and without exception, the small worlds behind these doors were empty, with empty moon pools.
Su Yun looked up and saw that the mountaintop seemed to be unreachable.
“Is it possible that everything here is empty?”
He frowned slightly. He couldn’t believe that this trip would only result in a few wooden doors to imprison the gods and demons. After releasing Winged Dragon and the others, there weren’t so many gods and demons to suppress.
“Wait until I regain my Dao Heart, and you will know how powerful I am!” Wu Tong’s voice came.
Su Yun continued to rush towards the mountaintop. When he arrived at the next jade platform, he finally saw the gateway standing on the mountaintop.
Wu Tong’s weak voice came from above, “You can’t reach the summit. There is an immortal guarding the summit. According to ancient books, no one has ever reached the summit…”
Su Yun threw the wooden door into his spiritual realm and smiled, “An immortal? More powerful than me?”
“Phew!”
Su Yun laughed heartily. After a while, he finally reached the last jade platform and put the wooden door into his spiritual realm.
Ying Ying whispered, “Su Scholar, it seems like there is really someone under that mountaintop gateway…”
Su Yun quickly looked up, his face solemn. He saw a figure standing under the gateway, facing away from him.
“That is the immortal guarding Guanghan Mountain!”
Wu Tong’s little head emerged from the white clouds, looking down from a high place, and shouted, “Su, you are doomed! That book monster who is full of bad ink is also doomed!”
Su Yun strode forward, making Wu Tong nervous. She said, “Don’t go. Throughout history, no one has passed that test! Many young people from our clan have died trying to reach the summit!”
Su Yun arrived under the towering gateway and smiled, “There is no immortal here. There is only a seal!”
Wu Tong leaned on the cloud, unable to see below, and asked in confusion, “Seal? What seal?”
Su Yun grabbed the Immortal Rope and pulled the cloud down, bringing it under the gateway.
Wu Tong tried to raise her head and saw that the figure under the gateway was translucent, indeed a powerful existence’s seal!
This person was a handsome and burly man with white hair. He stood under the gateway with a smile.
Ying Ying stared at the seal of the white-haired man, suddenly exclaimed, and hurriedly flipped through the book.
At this moment, the seal moved, and the seal of the white-haired man made a sound. He coughed and laughed, “I crossed the starry sky and came here. I discovered this fairyland and found it ownerless. So, I soaked here for a hundred years. The water here is the condensed moonlight, which is very beneficial to my spiritual being, so I took the condensed moonlight!”
He seemed very proud and laughed heartily.
Su Yun, however, was shocked and said, “This person is speaking in the language of the Yuan Dynasty!”
“Being able to find the remains of an immortal means I came to the right place!”
The seal of the white-haired man was excited, moving from under the gateway. Su Yun couldn’t help but follow him. He saw a magnificent palace on the mountaintop of Guanghan Mountain, with its gateway tightly locked.
“This place is called Guanghan Cave, the dwelling place of immortals. But I haven’t found this Guanghan Immortal.”
The seal of the white-haired man was regretful. He placed his palm on the gateway, and various runes rotated, as if unlocking it.
Su Yun immediately memorized these runes, placed his palm on the gateway, and imitated them!
Creak!
The gateway of the fairy palace opened!
The seal of the white-haired man walked in and laughed, “Unfortunately, the fairy has left. I came here, but the seal on the fairy’s boudoir cannot be opened by me. I have taken away all the good things I can take. You will be disappointed when you come here.”
Su Yun was truly disappointed. noVe-lb(In
Wu Tong was furious, “You thief!”
The white-haired man arrived outside a room and laughed, “But I left a pool of condensed moonlight for you in this room.”
Su Yun pushed open the door and indeed saw a pool of condensed moonlight, like a bright moon in the water.
He picked up Wu Tong and threw her into the pool.
Wu Tong screamed.
The white-haired man laughed, “If you bathe in it, you can also appreciate my calligraphy.”
Su Yun also jumped into the pool, and steam rose from the water, forming a bright moon hanging in the room, illuminating the room.”I’ve found it!”
Ying Ying excitedly held up a book, placing it next to the white-haired man’s brand, and laughed, “Mr. Su, doesn’t it look alike?”
The man in the painting in the book bore some resemblance to the white-haired man, with his name written next to it.
Su Yun, however, noticed the words left on the wall: “Xuan Yuan was here.”
