Chapter 867: Unexpected harvest
The vast sea turns into mulberry fields!
Even the legendary immortal mountains would wither under the power of time; the immortal sages upon them had all disappeared, and the strange flowers, exotic fruits, immortal birds, and strange beasts were nowhere to be found, let alone the secular world, where the rise and fall of dynasties and the cycle of life, aging, sickness, and death were even more of a norm.
Having witnessed the true appearance of the immortal mountain with their own eyes, everyone's hearts became heavy, and their moods were exceptionally somber.
The state of the immortal mountain meant that their trip was basically a wasted effort.
No matter what hopes or ambitions they held before coming, the current state of the immortal mountain dealt them a heavy blow.
For the people of the Yin-Yang School, this sea area had abundant heaven and earth energy, which was extremely beneficial for cultivation, but one must know that they chose to go to sea not for the sake of cultivation itself. Compared to cultivating here, they hoped more to see true "417" immortals and the legendary elixir of immortality.
Unfortunately, neither immortals nor the elixir of immortality existed.
Perhaps many, many years ago, these things did exist here, but according to Jiang Taigong, by the time he arrived at the immortal mountain, these things had already disappeared.
And Jiang Taigong was a person from eight hundred years ago.
Su Xuan also noticed the low spirits of the crowd, but unexpectedly, he did not take the initiative to comfort them.
He knew the thoughts of many people very well.
Their own strength was insufficient, yet they wanted to reap without sowing, using external objects to obtain so-called immortality.
They hoped that there would be an elixir of immortality on the immortal mountain, which was why they were so disappointed after discovering that the immortal mountain was withered.
It was only because their hopes had fallen through.
For such people, Su Xuan had only one sentence.
That is, immortality cannot be sought externally!
If you want immortality, why borrow a so-called elixir of immortality? As long as your aptitude is good enough, you can completely achieve immortality through cultivation!
If your aptitude is not good, and you don't have any luck bestowed upon you, it is better for such people not to covet so-called immortality.
The current state of the immortal mountain could also help certain people accept reality.
In the time that followed, Su Xuan began to explore Yingzhou.
Yingzhou was very large, even larger than Liupo Mountain.
Apart from the stone platform here, there were many other stone platforms.
After Su Xuan observed carefully, he discovered that these stone platforms were just like the one that sealed Xiang Liu, with the bones of various primordial fierce beasts buried beneath them. He now understood clearly that this Yingzhou was a graveyard.
He did not know who had buried all the bones of these fierce beasts here.
However, it seemed that only Xiang Liu's resentment had not dissipated, subsequently turning into a tangible fierce spirit, while the other primordial fierce beasts had long since completely vanished under the passage of time.
Su Xuan had no interest in digging up graves; although he had indeed dug up Did Chi You's tomb, that was only to explore the reality of the Abyss.
As for the tombs of these fierce beasts here, their power had long since dissipated under the passage of time. Even if Su Xuan dug up their graves, all he would see would be piles of white bones, and he would not be able to harvest any power.
After staying on Yingzhou for a while and exploring this immortal mountain thoroughly, the crowd boarded the Mirage again and headed toward the other two immortal mountains.
The three overseas immortal mountains were originally located in the same area. In the past, there were five immortal mountains, but later two were lost and submerged, and now only three remained.
Departing from Yingzhou and traveling for a distance, Su Xuan and the others saw another immortal mountain.
This immortal mountain was "Fangzhang," and on this immortal mountain, there were also messages left by Jiang Taigong.
In the past, Jiang Taigong had contemplated the Heavenly Book, grasped heaven's mandate, and achieved great success in his cultivation, indeed reaching an unprecedented realm.
At the very least, by the time he arrived in this overseas land, all these immortal mountains had been stepped upon by Jiang Taigong.
The previous immortal mountain named "Yingzhou" was the burial place of those ancient fierce beasts, and this immortal mountain also buried quite a few things.
What was buried was... weapons!
In ancient times, immortals and gods manifested in the world, leaving behind many descendants of divine beings, and there were countless primordial strange beasts. These descendants of divine beings were born with extraordinary power, relying on it to roam the world, and there were even those who used weapons.
After they disappeared and passed away, some of them left their weapons in this world.
The function of this immortal mountain was somewhat similar to that underground palace in Loulan.
In the underground palace of Loulan, what was sealed were Did Chi You's Weapon Demon God and Did Chi You's Sword, while this immortal mountain sealed the weapons of many powerhouses and divine beings from the time of the Yellow Emperor to Emperor Yu.
According to the guidance Jiang Taigong left on this immortal mountain.
Su Xuan and the others successfully found a treasure vault on Fangzhang Mountain.
On the periphery of the treasure vault, there had originally been a powerful seal, but as the gods went far away and the extraordinary was severed, the seal also lost its effectiveness. Eight hundred years ago, Jiang Taigong had successfully stepped into it.
Now, Su Xuan and the others entered it without any effort.
Pushing open the heavy bronze gate.
Su Xuan stepped in first. Inside the treasure vault, the light was incomparably dim.
Almost without Su Xuan saying anything.
Yanfei brushed her sleeves, and the phantom of the Three-Legged Golden Crow flashed and vanished, immediately transforming into a brilliant sun, illuminating the treasure vault.
"These things are..."
Light filled the treasure vault. Inside the vault, there were many racks, and on the racks were all kinds of weapons.
There were precious swords, powerful bows, and great halberds, as well as various strange-looking weapons, but without exception, these weapons were filled with a rich, fierce aura. Even just looking at them, one could feel a thick smell of blood. No one knew how many living beings and how many primordial strange beasts these weapons had slaughtered in the ancient era.
"This can also be considered an unexpected harvest!"
Su Xuan sighed softly.
When they were on Yingzhou, apart from the battle between Su Xuan and the fierce spirit formed by Xiang Liu's resentment, the crowd could be said to have gained nothing. ===== CHAPTER 869 =====
