Chapter 872: So that's how it is!

Soon, Su Xuan led Xiao Yu and stepped into the Penglai immortal mountain.

The soil on the ground of the Penglai immortal mountain was full of vitality, unlike the dead silence of the previous three immortal mountains. The vegetation upon it was lush, clear springs were surging, and after truly stepping into the immortal mountain, there were bursts of rich, clear energy coming toward them.

Su Xuan took a slight sniff, and then the aftertaste was endless.

On this immortal mountain, there was extremely rich spiritual energy. Although it was not as high-grade as the immortal spiritual energy emitted from the world opened by the Pixiu, the grade was definitely not low. For Su Xuan, it was spiritual energy that could help him cultivate.

He immediately had some guesses, and then he operated the "Earth Knowledge" technique from the Seventy-Two Earthly Transformations. In his eyes, strange light emerged, and the earth and mountains had nowhere to hide in his eyes.

Earth Knowledge was the art of geomancy, and also the art of Feng Shui.

With the help of this technique, Su Xuan could see the flow of the earth veins and the direction of Feng Shui in the earth.

In his eyes, a true dragon was coiled under the Penglai immortal mountain, and between the dragon's breathing, endless spiritual energy gushed out.

Although this dragon vein showed some signs of withering and would decline before long, this "before long" was based on the passage of time of mountains and rivers; by the time it truly withered, it would take at least several hundred or a thousand years.

In other words, during this period, this dragon vein was still very healthy.

For Su Xuan, this could not be considered anything but a surprise.

Earlier, when he climbed the other immortal mountains, he had actually operated the Earth Knowledge technique and surveyed the Feng Shui of those immortal mountains, but regrettably, the earth veins of those immortal mountains had long since dried up.

They were not even as good as any random hill on the Central Plains; at least any random hill still had some vitality.

He had thought that the final Penglai would be the same, but looking at it now, Su Xuan had guessed wrong.

"Is it because of the barrier?"

Su Xuan guessed secretly.

"The existence of the barrier prevents ordinary people from stepping into the Penglai immortal mountain. If one is not a person of heaven and man, no matter how strong their strength is, they cannot enter it. At the same time, because of the barrier, for so many years, the Penglai immortal mountain has maintained its current state and has not fallen into dead silence over the years like the other immortal mountains!"

If Su Xuan was observing the inside of the Penglai immortal mountain in secret.

Then Xiao Yu was truly shocked.

"Is this an immortal mountain that has not fallen into a state of dead silence?"

Xiao Yu's eyes flickered. She tried hard to breathe, and she could feel every inch of flesh and blood, every cell in her body cheering and leaping. Since stepping onto this immortal mountain, her state had been better than ever before.

Although she hadn't seen traces of animals on this mountain yet, being able to see lush trees was already the biggest surprise for her.

She was, after all, a little girl who was not very old.

At the beginning of the journey, because she had never seen the sea in Shushan, the sea was full of curiosity, and everything on the sea was novel to her. However, as the journey progressed, gradually, this novelty was replaced by boredom. Waking up and sleeping every day, seeing the same sea, for her, such a life was truly boring to the extreme.

Only when arriving at the immortal mountain did she find some fun.

But the immortal mountain here was only the first immortal mountain, Liupo Mountain.

The following few immortal mountains were the same as Liupo Mountain, all a piece of dead silence. Looking at the dead silent immortal mountain, Xiao Yu was incredibly uncomfortable.

Until arriving at this Penglai immortal mountain, it was finally completely different from the previous few immortal mountains.

This immortal mountain was full of vitality.

"Let's go!"

Su Xuan's voice sounded in Xiao Yu's ear, waking Xiao Yu from her thoughts.

Xiao Yu came back to her senses and nodded.

Afterward, following Su Xuan, they headed toward the depths of the Penglai immortal mountain.

On the way, Su Xuan did not have the intention to pick those strange flowers and exotic fruits or drink the clear springs. Although Xiao Yu had some such thoughts, because Su Xuan did not do such things, in the end, she suppressed these thoughts.

Following Su Xuan forward, they soon arrived at the depths of the Penglai immortal mountain.

The mountain forest was lush. The trees here had been growing for who knows how many years, and their varieties were not varieties that could be seen on the Central Plains; they were probably some strange, exotic species. There were also many strange flowers blooming, incomparably beautiful, and they emitted bursts of fragrance.

The only regret was that there were no animals.

Walking through the mountain forest, there were no snakes or insects, and no animals either.

"It seems that not everything has been preserved!"

Su Xuan said a meaningful sentence.

This immortal mountain, although it was spared from chaos because of the barrier, only the plants were preserved; the animals had all disappeared.

Did they wither under the passage of time, or was it because certain existences simply did not allow animals to exist within it? ===== CHAPTER 874 =====
