Chapter 515

"To find the location of the immortal mountains overseas, beyond just the coordinates, one must also find the correct time. Only at the correct time and in the correct location can one enter the space where the immortal mountains reside..."

As he spoke, Su Xuan also recited the words that Lady Yan had previously mentioned, "In the East Sea, there is Mount Mount Liupo; seven thousand li into the sea..."

In the ancient era, Huang Di once hunted the Kui ox here, using its hide to make a drum. When struck during the Battle of Zhuolu, the sound shook for hundreds of li; Chi You's army lost their morale upon hearing it, while Huang Di's army's prestige was greatly bolstered.

This is the account from legend.

But in the present age, there is no such thing as Mount Mount Liupo, and creatures like the Kui ox exist only in legends.

If this world were a normal world, that would be one thing.

But as it happens, in the ancient era, an existence beyond the norm appeared, named "Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden." The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden was a true immortal-god level existence. Besides her, Su Xuan had even felt the mystery of the dragon qi left behind by the Dragon God Ying Long.

It is evident that the ancient era was not as simple as one might imagine.

It is very likely that the Kui ox truly existed, and during the Battle of Zhuolu, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan did indeed use its hide to make a great drum.

Then why can Mount Mount Liupo not be found now?

It is very likely because Mount Mount Liupo is hidden within another space.

Just like Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou, it is hidden in another space.

There are not many characters on this turtle shell. Besides "Flying Dragon in the Sky" and "Mount Mount Liupo" which Lady Yan read out, there is also... the Kingdom of Shaohao.

Shaohao, named Xuanxiao, was the son of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan and Leizu. Legend has it that this Kingdom of Shaohao was hidden in the East Sea, in a chasm within the East Sea. It is worth mentioning that both Shaohao and Taihao Fuxi were ancestors of the Dongyi tribe.

And the Fusang Divine Tree originally came from the Dongyi tribe!

As he knew more, Su Xuan felt more and more that a fog was shrouding his eyes. In the ancient era, there were simply too many secrets.

Not to mention anything else, the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon first appeared in the Zhou Dynasty.

According to some people's speculation, it was related to Gan Jiang Gan Jiang Taigong. From the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty to now, it had been nearly a thousand years, which could barely be explained. However, after truly getting his hands on the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon and cracking the secret of the seven boxes, Su Xuan discovered that this secret was not as simple as he had imagined. Its origin might be even earlier, from the time of the Yellow Emperor, from the era when the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden and the Ying Dragon were still in the human world.

The Yellow Emperor was a person from the Central Plains, while Leizu came from Xiling and could be considered a person from the Shu region. As a result, their son Xuanxiao's country of Shaohao was hidden in the East Sea, which in itself explained some things.

Therefore, Su Xuan inevitably made some associations.

For example, in the ancient era, before the Battle of Zhuolu, in order to defeat Chi You, the Yellow Emperor took Leizu to the East Sea, killed the Kui ox at Mount Liupo Mountain, and gave birth to Xuanxiao at the country of Shaohao, which was that gully. Because of the chaos in the Central Plains, he left Xuanxiao there? Therefore, Xuanxiao's childhood was spent growing up there, which was why there were records of the country of Shaohao?

And the Fusang sacred tree also came from that area, later taken away by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden and planted on the peak of Shushan to suppress Chi You!

Although the Fusang sacred tree had left, Xuanxiao in his youth had seen the Fusang sacred tree, which was why his descendants, the Dongyi tribe, had a tradition of worshipping the sun? In the murals, there were even images of the Fusang sacred tree?

Of course, these were all Su Xuan's speculations, without any evidence.

The only thing he could be sure of was that the origin of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon was extremely ancient!

The Mirage was sailing quietly in the sea. Even though Su Xuan said that the passage to another sea area could only be opened at midsummer, no one knew how long it would take to reach the location of that sea area.

If according to the records in "Classic of Mountains and Seas - Great Wilderness Eastern Classic," Mount Liupo Mountain was even seven thousand li into the East Sea. Seven thousand li was not a short distance.

Even if the Mirage combined the strengths of the Gongshu family and the Mohist school and had a fast sailing speed, and Su Xuan could use Daoist arts to call for strong winds to push the Mirage, it was still difficult to sail seven thousand li in a short time.

Therefore, they could only continue to sail in the correct direction by following the faint sense of induction generated by the Fusang sacred tree.

The journey was boring.

To find some fun, Su Xuan had fished on the Mirage, stepped on the waves above the sea, and even flown into the sky to travel with seagulls. He had experienced the fun of the sea one by one.

Finally, having nothing to do, he taught the Dao to everyone again.

There were not many people following him to sea this time, but there were not few either.

Some Yin-Yang School disciples followed, and some Mohist disciples remained on the Mirage under Jing Ke's leadership to help operate the Mirage. In addition, there were Da Da Siming, Shao Da Siming, Hei Bai, Xiao Yi, Duanmu Rong, Zinu, Yan Fei, and others following Su Xuan.

These people had all practiced martial arts, and their strength varied.

But regardless of their strength or what they were good at, Su Xuan could give them some pointers.

No one knew how much those who stayed in the Yin-Yang School would regret it after knowing this, regretting not boarding the Mirage.

Because this was clearly the third time he was teaching the Dao!

Min region.

Hundreds of thousands of Qin troops conquering Regarding Baiyue were stationed here. After arriving here, they did not rashly march but set up camp on the spot and made preparations.

This made the people of the Minyue Kingdom feel depressed.

After discovering that the Qin State had begun to move troops against Regarding Baiyue, not only Minyue, Dongou, and Nanyue all made preparations. Back then, when the Chu State and the Han State joined forces, they had launched a multi-year war in the land of Regarding Baiyue. That battle had cost Minyue a heavy price and also made the Nanyue Kingdom and the Dongou Kingdom realize how difficult the Central Plains were.

The Regarding Baiyue countries naturally knew that the Central Plains had been unified by the Qin State. When the Qin State destroyed Chu, they had also thought about taking the opportunity to get a share of the benefits and sending troops to the Central Plains to plunder some benefits, but in the end, hindered by the strength of the Qin State and the fact that the relationships between the Regarding Baiyue countries were not very good, they did not do such a thing in the end.

Of course, although they did not take a share of the benefits when the Central Plains were in chaos, after the Qin State unified the world, the countries in the land of Regarding Baiyue would occasionally send troops to plunder the people of the Central Plains.

After all, the Central Plains were rich, and Regarding Baiyue was barren, so they could only barely maintain their lives through plundering.

However, this move was seen by the Qin State as Regarding Baiyue being a hidden danger that must be eliminated.

Therefore, there was this conquest of Regarding Baiyue.

Back then, the Chu State and the Han State joined forces and were able to cause great damage to Minyue, only because there was the factor of the Chu people, who were extremely familiar with the land of Regarding Baiyue, so they succeeded.

Now the Qin State was different; they did not understand the situation in Regarding Baiyue.

If they rashly broke into the forest, and the many Regarding Baiyue tribes made preparations in advance, they would definitely make those Qin people never return.

The people of the Minyue Kingdom thought so.

But the fact was that after the Qin State arrived in the Min region, they had long delayed stepping into the mountains and forests and had not marched. This made them very depressed. This feeling was like all their preparations had been in vain.

However, they still did not give up their vigilance. The Qin State had mobilized so many troops; there would be a battle between the Minyue Kingdom and the Qin State sooner or later.

Outside the area where the Minyue Kingdom was located were vast mountains. The forests here were lush and extremely primitive. In the forests, there were countless poisonous insects and fierce beasts, and there were many poisonous miasmas.

However, such an environment did not cause any impact on Yan Yan Lingji.

She took some elite disciples of the Yin-Yang School and stepped into the vast forest alone, heading towards the Minyue Kingdom. Even though she had left Regarding Baiyue for many years, she was still extremely familiar with this place. In the mountains and forests, she walked as if she were walking on flat ground.

Many poisonous miasmas, poisonous insects, and fierce beasts did not cause any waves in front of her and the Yin-Yang School disciples.

Finally, she arrived before a tribe located in the mountains and forests.

She saw a person.

His name... Tian Ze!

Back then, after the battle of the Han State ended, Yan Yan Lingji followed Su Xuan to the Qin State, while Tian Ze took a few subordinates and returned to the land of Regarding Baiyue, wanting to take back everything that belonged to him.

To this day, Tian Ze did not seem to have taken back everything that belonged to him, but he could barely be considered to have established his own foundation in the land of Regarding Baiyue.
