Chapter 851
The Liupo Mountain of the East Sea and the Kingdom of Shaohao were one thing, but after all, if one relied on the clues obtained after cracking the Canglong Seven Constellations, even the three immortal mountains of the sea—Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou—existed, so it was not strange to have one more Liupo Mountain.
However, no one expected that these immortal mountains were merely a corner of the real world, and beyond these mountains lay the even more vast Mountain and Sea Realm.
Emperor Gaoyang performed the Severing of Heaven and Earth, separating gods and humans from then on.
Emperor Yu cast the Nine Cauldrons to stabilize the world, and from then on, the extraordinary faded away "410," sealing the Mountain and Sea Realm outside the Nine Provinces, in another dimension.
It was not until Jiang Taigong, Jiang Shang, penetrated the mystery that the Canglong Seven Constellations were created, and this information was subsequently passed down.
Even though Jiang Taigong said that the Canglong Seven Constellations were crafted by him, and Su Xuan's previous analysis undoubtedly confirmed this, these contents were still hard for people to accept.
The group remained silent for a long time.
Some forcibly accepted this information, while others still found it difficult to accept, and some even thought of a question.
"We sailed on the Mirage for several months across the sea to get here. Even if the information Jiang Taigong left behind is true, how did he get here?"
Su Xuan offered some speculation on this question.
"According to Jiang Taigong, the extraordinary had already faded away since the era of Emperor Yu. But even if it had truly faded, the decline of the world's spiritual energy is a gradual process; it would not decline to the point of being uncultivable in an instant. The era Jiang Taigong lived in was a full eight hundred years before ours. Eight hundred years is enough to change many things. The experts of that era were likely much stronger than those of the present. He meditated on the Huang Shi Heavenly Book and even saw the heavenly mandate within it, grasping a trace of it. Even if he did not become an immortal, he likely reached the level of being near-immortal..."
"For such experts, traveling to the North Sea in the morning and the Cangwu in the evening is not a difficult task."
"Even without the Mirage, relying on their own power, they could still reach this place!"
Su Xuan's words barely explained the doubts in everyone's hearts.
As for why no one questioned how the Yellow Emperor, Shaohao, and Zhuanxu came here, it was because the eras were different. In the era of the Yellow Emperor, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden and the Yinglong were both wandering the human world; they came to these waters precisely because they saw the figure of the Yinglong.
One must know that it was precisely with the help of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden and the Yinglong that the Yellow Emperor was able to defeat Chi You back then.
With the help of such god-like existences, it was not strange that they could reach this place.
As for Emperor Zhuanxu, there is no need to mention him—the Severing of Heaven and Earth.
One must know that that era was not like today; there were truly experts of the immortal and divine level, yet he could still accomplish something like the Severing of Heaven and Earth, which shows how strong his power was.
Yanfei then thought of another question: "Can Lord Xuantian reach this place alone?"
Hearing this question, everyone looked at Su Xuan simultaneously.
Su Xuan smiled without answering.
Although he did not answer directly, this smile gave many people the answer in their hearts.
The answer was yes.
Even without the Mirage, relying solely on his own power, Su Xuan could reach this place.
So, were they all just dead weight?
Was the existence of the Mirage something dispensable to Su Xuan, built purely because he wanted to broaden their horizons and thus brought them here?
Yanfei and the others could not help but think this in their hearts.
In this, they were actually wrong.
They were indeed dead weight, but the existence of the Mirage was indispensable to Su Xuan. The main purpose of the Mirage was to carry the Fusang Divine Tree. In this day and age, where the extraordinary has faded and the world's spiritual energy is in decline.
To open that sealed door, relying on individual power alone is very difficult. Therefore, one must utilize the Fusang Divine Tree, drawing upon the powerful energy accumulated within the divine tree over thousands of years, to push open this door.
Of course, if Su Xuan were in the era of eight hundred years ago, when the world's spiritual energy was still extremely abundant, he could have drawn upon the power of heaven and earth to open that door even without the Fusang Divine Tree.
Who is stronger between him and Jiang Shang is currently unknown.
But what is known is that the environmental conditions of the world they lived in were completely different.
……
Because of the words Jiang Taigong left on the cliff.
Next, everyone's mood was complex, and they remained silent for a long time. Everyone was absorbing the amount of information contained in these words. Even though most of them were illiterate and did not recognize these characters, Su Xuan and others did, and after Su Xuan's interpretation, they all knew the content.
As for Su Xuan, he was digesting the content of these words.
While also continuing to investigate Liupo Mountain.
Liupo Mountain was very large.
Apart from the Great Ravine where Shaohao once lived, there were still vast areas. But it was unknown what had happened back then to make this famous immortal mountain become so deathly silent; all vitality on it had been severed, all vegetation had withered, and there were no living creatures at all.
Relying on his own two feet, it would take Su Xuan a long time to traverse the entire Liupo Mountain, so he chose to have his Primordial Spirit leave his body.
With the Primordial Spirit out of the body, one can travel to the North Sea in the morning and the Cangwu in the evening.
In an instant, the specific appearance of the entire Liupo Mountain fell into his eyes. He soon found some clues on Liupo Mountain; or rather, they were more like signposts.
Signposts pointing to the next location.
Liupo Mountain was merely a transit station on the way to the three immortal mountains overseas.
The next stop was none other than the three immortal mountains: Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou.
After discovering the clues, Su Xuan's Primordial Spirit returned to his body, and he immediately told everyone his findings.
The group rested on Liupo Mountain for a while, gradually accepting the information Jiang Shang had left behind. Because Liupo Mountain was devoid of life and deathly silent, they had long since lost interest in this mountain.
So, upon learning the direction of the three immortal mountains overseas, they immediately became interested in the true immortal mountains again.
Returning to the Mirage, the Mirage set sail again, departing from Liupo Mountain and heading toward the true immortal mountains.
