Chapter 866

"It is hard to imagine that such a creature existed in the ancient era!" the younger sister, Hei, also continued.

When they were in Loulan, although they had witnessed the posture of the Pixiu transforming into a divine dragon, that could be understood as a special case. Now, the appearance of Xiang Liu's remains proved that in the distant ancient era, there indeed existed a history unknown to people, and in that era, many primordial strange beasts existed; Xiang Liu was one of them.

The others looked at the skeleton of Xiang Liu, lost in thought for a long time.

In the following period, after the crowd finished digesting the fact that Xiang Liu's remains existed here, they began to explore this immortal mountain.

This immortal mountain was much larger in scale than Liupo Mountain, but it was just as dead silent. The springs upon it had dried up, and the pavilions and terraces had all turned to dust. Even if clear springs might have existed there in the past, and many strange flowers and exotic fruits might have grown there—fruits which, if consumed, could grant one immortality—that was, after all, a matter of many years ago.

The current reality was that this mountain had lost all vitality, and no divine beings had visited it.

After clarifying the reality of this immortal mountain, the crowd was very disappointed.

However, they discovered some more messages left by Jiang Taigong on this mountain.

If the message left by Jiang Taigong on Liupo Mountain had clarified the origin of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon and explained that past event, the message on this mountain showed his extreme unwillingness.

After the Zhou Dynasty was established and he was enfeoffed in the State of Qi, he felt his lifespan was about to end, so he made a decision: he decided to defy heaven and fight for a chance, seeking the true immortal island.

Jiang Taigong was a man who did not believe in fate.

Even though he had grasped a trace of heaven's mandate through the Heavenly Book and glimpsed that the Zhou Dynasty would perish in the future, in order to change the fate of the Zhou Dynasty's destruction, he still left behind many treasures, hoping that the Zhou Dynasty could be restored in the future.

He had left behind many contingency plans for the Zhou Dynasty, let alone for himself.

Thus, before his lifespan was about to end, he faked his death to escape, and then came to this sealed world of mountains and seas. He first went to Liupo Mountain, saw the ruins left by the Yellow Emperor, Shaohao, and Zhuanxu of the past, and after paying his respects to the sites of the human ancestors, he left behind text for those who would come later, then continued forward, finally arriving at this immortal mountain.

Jiang Taigong also provided the name of this immortal mountain.

Its name was—"Yingzhou"!

0 ········Seeking flowers···· ····

It was not Penglai, as everyone had initially guessed.

However, Yingzhou was also one of the three legendary immortal mountains.

This proved that they had not come to the wrong place.

Unfortunately, the following words made them feel a wave of disappointment again.

According to what Jiang Taigong said, after Emperor Yu cast the Nine Cauldrons and sealed and banished the world of mountains and seas, the world of mountains and seas gradually withered. He came here to seek the immortal Dao and immortality, and only after truly arriving in the world of mountains and seas did he discover this fact.

First, Liupo Mountain was incomparably dead silent, and later, arriving at Yingzhou, it was the same.

The strange flowers and exotic fruits that originally grew on the immortal mountain, and those immortal birds and strange beasts, had long since disappeared. On this Yingzhou, there was only a Xiang Liu buried here. Xiang Liu's resentment did not dissipate, constantly demonizing this island. Although as time passed, the other party's resentment would sooner or later completely dissipate, Jiang Taigong was a righteous man, and seeing such a thing, he naturally could not sit idly by.

Thus, he set up a seal and continued forward, heading toward the remaining two immortal mountains.

Although he did not hold much hope in his heart, he hoped to walk through all three legendary immortal mountains in his lifetime.

"So, did we make a wasted trip after all?"

Duanmu Rong appeared very disappointed. She had chosen to follow Su Xuan out to sea precisely because she was convinced that there were many unique medicinal herbs on the immortal mountains. If she could study these herbs thoroughly, perhaps she could surpass her master, Nian Duan, in the medical arts and walk a path of her own.

Liupo Mountain was a dead silence; although she was disappointed, she had always held onto some hope, and this hope was the three immortal mountains.

Liupo Mountain was like that, but the three immortal mountains might not be.

When she first arrived at Yingzhou, she was once very excited, but later she discovered that it was merely an illusion constructed by Xiang Liu's resentment that had not dissipated for years.

Now, after seeing Jiang Taigong's message, she gradually became somewhat desperate.

If Yingzhou was like this, the other two immortal mountains were probably no better.

Zinu had come here holding onto the hope of glimpsing the true face of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon, and at this moment, she also sighed, "The vast sea turns into mulberry fields; even the legendary immortal mountains cannot escape such a fate. Is this the truth of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon?" ===== CHAPTER 868 =====
