Immortal Item: Lesser Shu Mountain Realm Grade: Fourth Rank Description: In the Southern Star Plains of Great Wilderness Mountain, Granny Lu, the old monster, happened upon a rare treasure of Heaven and Earth—a Seven-Treasure Gourd Vine. To hasten the growth of the supreme treasure, the Seven-Treasure Gourd, she scoured the heavens for exotic treasures. Together with Old Withered Bamboo, the other of the Great Wilderness Mountain's Two Elders, she used a dilapidated grotto-heaven as its foundation and refined the Lesser Shu Mountain Realm after the model of the Shu Mountain World. Within it lay a separate set of laws. Whenever living beings inside experienced birth, aging, illness, and death; wars and calamities; or Earth Immortals attained enlightenment, all of it would turn into nourishment to nurture the Seven-Treasure Gourd. Once the Treasure Gourd swallowed seven Earth Immortals, it would reach perfection. Then, with billions of living beings offered as sacrifices, the great work would be complete, and the supreme treasure would be within reach!
"Seven-Treasure Gourd."
"Swallow seven immortals, sacrifice ten thousand living souls!"
Lu Qingfeng's eyes went wide, fury erupting. "What a vicious scheme!"
He had originally thought that this Lesser Shu Mountain Realm had been refined by Granny Lu, one of the Great Wilderness Mountain's Two Elders, so that the disciples under her would be able to cultivate into Earth Immortals. Through a twist of fate, it had fallen into the Lesser Weakwater and been obtained by the four Peach Mountain sects.
He had never imagined—
There was such a vicious plot hidden within.
If he had not intended to take the Lesser Shu Mountain Realm and decipher its method of refinement, then the day Zhang Yang became an Earth Immortal would likely have been the day he perished and went to the Yellow Springs.
