Cloud Cottage Immortal Island

"Cloud Cottage Immortal Island, Cloud Cottage Immortal Island..."

Liang Qu quickly got up and paced back and forth on the plank road.

With over 25,000 points of Marsh Essence poured in, the answer finally surfaced!

Cloud Cottage Immortal Island!

Nine times out of ten, it's that Immortal Island Above the Clouds! "Cloud Cottage Immortal Island, the Mirage Clan Ancestral Grounds... so how could I, who constantly inhales the white mist, generate the spiritual form of the Immortal Island Above the Clouds?"

Back then, Liang Qu had fantasized about whether there was such a place in reality, where pavilions and towers materialized in the white mist exhaled by Mirage Worm.

Damn, it really is true! In my dream, I was guided to Immortal Island. Does that mean I'm being cleansed by spiritual energy every day?

Is observing unusual celestial phenomena becoming commonplace?

Liang Qu's heart was pounding, and his mouth was dry. Despite having seen many storms, he was still very excited.

An incredible surprise has fallen upon me! Within a quarter of an hour of the appearance of the Immortal Island Above the Clouds, my True Qi has expanded more than three times its original size, and the True Gale Refinement is still ongoing!

His physique is constantly growing and strengthening! "He truly possesses a treasure trove without even realizing it!"

Liang Qu held up the Fat Worm high, overjoyed.

In its fourth evolution, the Mirage Worm's appearance changed drastically.

The White Jade Armor covers its entire body, transforming it from Fat Worm into Jade Worm, yet it doesn't feel cold to the touch, possessing a unique jade-like softness.

He's gotten even more handsome! If it weren't for the fact that he encountered Immortal Island Above the Clouds while collecting the Heavenly Water Morning Dew, the secret of the Mirage Worm would probably only be revealed when it accumulated tens of thousands of Marsh Essence and overflowed!

The fusion with the Water King Ape and the awakening of the Gold-Devouring Beast will be delayed indefinitely! "So noisy..."

The Old Toad, still sleepy-eyed, sat up from the round stone, its white belly revealing layers of wrinkles.

It rubbed its eyes with its webbed paws and looked around.

There was no one there.

"Strangeness..."

The Old Toad was very sleepy, so he yawned and lay back.

"Ha-hoo, ha-hoo, ha-hoo~"

Quiet Room.

Sparks flew everywhere, landing on the oil lamp and spreading light.

Liang Qu carefully put away the fire sticks, blew away the lingering Sulfur in the air, placed the Mirage Worm on the wooden box, and fell into deep thought.

"The Immortal Island Above the Clouds has existed for a long time and has appeared in the world more than once. Martial Saint and Grandmaster must have gone to explore it. Why has no one discovered it throughout history? Could it be located between reality and illusion?"

Dream Butterfly, Dream Butterfly.

I Butterfly Dream.

I Dream Butterfly.

The Mirage Worm have no other abilities, except for the unique talent of creating dreams. Cloud Cottage Immortal Island is the Mirage Clan Ancestral Grounds...

Perhaps there really is some incredible means to achieve this?

Furthermore, do the legendary Mirage Dragon truly exist? Mirage Worm, spewing mist, creating dreams, fantasies...

With all these methods, it was hard for Liang Qu not to think of the legendary Mirage Dragon.

"It resembles a dragon, without horns but with ears, and its back and mane are red. When it exhales, it forms pavilions and towers, which are visible before rain. Its fat and wax can be used to make candles, the fragrance of which can be smelled from a hundred paces away, and the smoke that rises from it forms the shape of pavilions and towers."

Su Guishan said that there are only three true dragons in the world...

The words of Great Grandmaster should always have some degree of truth to them.

"Give it a try."

Liang Qu had too many unanswered questions in his mind, so he planned to ask them again during his late-night snack.

The most urgent task is to verify whether it is true or not, and whether there is such a normalized anomaly! Let's ask the Mirage Worm a few questions.

The Mirage Worm nodded, then shook its head, occasionally flicking its body.

"That long...?"

Liang Qu frowned.

The white mist that is sprayed to guide the Immortal Island needs to be combined with special secretions, and it happens about once every eight to nine days.

From the Mirage Worm's perspective and perception, there is no danger in traveling from the dream to the Immortal Island.

"Can I divide the amount into two sprays?"

The Mirage Worm shook its head.

The principle of guiding dreams is similar to opening a door; if the power is dispersed, it is insufficient to push open the door.

After much deliberation.

Liang Qu went to the courtyard to catch a small fish and returned to the Quiet Room.

"Give it a try!"

The Mirage Worm swelled its abdomen, and a spiritual light emanated from its White Jade Armor. It mumbled something in its mouth.

This time, the fog lasted longer than any previous time.

It lasted for almost 15 minutes.

A wisp of white steam was exhaled.

Unlike the usual diffuse white mist, this time the exhalation resembled a white Whirlwind.

The Whirlwind transformed into a vortex, entangling the small fish and Mirage Worm.

Liang Qu held his breath and watched silently.

The Whirlwind swirls, white vapor dissipates, pavilions and towers emerge, and below the white vortex, a majestic mountain is half-hidden, floating uncertainly.

Immortal Island Above the Clouds!

In the past, when Mirage Worm spewed mist, only a few pavilions and towers were visible, Liang Qu, like blind men touching an elephant, could not confirm their existence.

He was now certain that the pavilions and towers manifested by the white mist spewed by the Mirage Worm were exactly the same as the Immortal Island Above the Clouds! Whoosh! Light and shadow flickered in the Quiet Room.

The struggling, throbbing fish froze, drifting Dream Entry along with the Mirage Worm.

"It's done?"

Liang Qu hesitated.

On the surface, the Mirage Worm and small fish have not disappeared; they are just as dormant as before.

Light and shadow shift and change.

The bitterling struggled and leaped, its tail lashing the ground with a crackling sound.

The Mirage Worm opened its eyes, looked around, and found itself in the center of a huge White Jade Plaza.

The white jade floor tiles are as smooth as a mirror, reflecting their own image with shimmering light.

It's a bit cold.

The Mirage Worm felt tense all over and tried to stretch its neck.

Directly ahead is a long White Jade Stairway leading to a pavilion hidden in the white mist.

Behind us, white clouds drifted and swirled, seemingly high in the sky, a vast and boundless expanse.

There is nothing else besides that.

Quiet.

Dead silence.

Contrary to expectations, there were no other Mirage Worm.

Instead of climbing the White Jade Stairway, the Mirage Worm shifted its body, turned around, and came to the edge of the square, where it poked its head out.

Sheer cliffs.

The brown rocks are as neatly hewn as if by a knife and axe, like giant trees growing out of the white mist.

Fearing it would fall, the Mirage Worm shrank back in fear and turned to climb the White Jade Stairway.

White clouds drift by.

On the vast White Jade Plaza, only a large white worm wriggled its body, advancing upwards with alternating thrusts.

Crackling sounds.

The bitterling was exhausted, its struggles gradually slowed, and its chest and abdomen pounded violently.

The Mirage Worm crossed the square, climbed the steps, and was about to continue climbing when a strong wind suddenly blew by, like an autumn wind swirling up fallen leaves, carrying the Mirage Worm and making it drift away into the Cloud Top.

Open your eyes.

The Golden Bright Oil swayed and trembled.

"Woke up?"

Liang Qu snapped out of his reverie, which was lingering in the air, and silently counted a few points.

From falling asleep to waking up, the whole process took less than twenty breaths!

This is too fast! In the past Mirage Worm Dream Training would keep someone asleep for at least an hour at a time! "White Jade Plaza, the steps to the top, pavilions and towers..."

The Mental Link between Liang Qu and the Mirage Worm was never broken; the Mirage Worm reported to him in real time as it crawled along.

Moreover, even when the Mirage Worm is asleep, a faint spiritual energy always emanates from its body.

The idea of going to the island to absorb spiritual insights is by no means a fabrication!

Perhaps Cloud Cottage Immortal Island truly is a place of dreams...

Liang Qu's eyes gleamed.

Unfortunately, for safety reasons, he did not go in person this time, and will have to wait a few days for the next time.

Another evolution might allow the Mirage Worm to recover immediately.

But between waiting eight or nine days and spending 25,000 yuan on the Marsh Essence, the former is undoubtedly more cost-effective...

In the courtyard, a draft of wind howled through the room.

Long Yao and Long Li brought out tables and chairs, Chen Xiu brought out bowls, chopsticks, dipping sauces, and side dishes.

Charcoal fires were placed under the copper stove, and the clear soup was bubbling away, emitting a rich and fragrant aroma.

Tonight's late-night snack is simple: Bald Head Chicken.

The chicken soup, after skimming off the oil, is just like clear water, and exceptionally sweet.

During the day, Uncle Su said that he was tired of strong flavors and wanted something light for a late-night snack, so Liang Qu prepared this meal.

Aunt Zhang had just slaughtered a genuine free-range chicken half an hour ago, emphasizing its freshness.

Su Guishan picked up a piece of chicken leg meat and chewed it with relish.

Liang Qu walked out of the corridor, moved a stool and sat down. Seeing this, the Dragon Girl hurriedly went to get a bowl and chopsticks.

"Hey kid, instead of resting, why are you suddenly having a late-night snack with me?" Su Guishan spat out a bone and smiled with narrowed eyes. "You wouldn't come here without a reason."

Liang Qu reached out and took the bowl and chopsticks, then dipped the chopsticks into the clear soup and scooped out a chicken wing. "I've run into some trouble and wanted to ask my uncle for some advice."

"Hmph, ask away!"

Does the Immortal Island Above the Clouds really exist?

The Dragon Girl picked up the plate, used a spoon to scoop the prepared shrimp paste into balls, and dropped them into the pot.

Su Guishan glanced at Liang Qu: "You kid, your questions are getting more and more tricky. In a few days, I might not even be able to answer them!"

Liang Qu's eyes lit up. "Uncle, you know?"

"Just a little." Su Guishan picked up a shrimp paste, dipped it in the sauce, and put it in his mouth. "The Immortal Island Above the Clouds, it existed before."
