The Penglai Elixir of Immortality
"His Majesty."
Within the majestic Heavenly Palace, Lu Wu reported to Eastern Emperor Taiyi behind the curtain, "It seems that Jiang Lan, the True Gods of the Vast Sea Authority to Marshal Bai."
"Ha, that's good, finally some good news!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi's laughter came from behind the curtain.
"It seems the Divine Medicine I bestowed is quite effective. I am very pleased. Lu Wu, reward the Heavenly Gods made the Divine Medicine with ten thousand taels of silver and five beautiful women."
"Yes."
Lu Wu bowed his head and replied.
The emperor and his minister remained silent for a moment, then Lu Wu asked with concern, "Your Majesty, have you been having that nightmare lately?"
"It's still there..."
Eastern Emperor Taiyi low voice.
Heavenly Gods like them would never have dreams out of nowhere, especially since Eastern Emperor Taiyi is the Nine Heavens Supreme, the Heavenly Emperor.
Even he is plagued by nightmares, which is probably not a good thing for the entire Heavenly Palace.
"Lately, I have been dreaming of the sky collapsing, stars falling, and the Glory of the Heavenly Gods settling into the dust. I want to see the culprit clearly, but his figure is blurry and indistinct, and even I cannot see through him. I can only judge from his height that he is similar to the mortal human race in the world."
Eastern Emperor Taiyi murmured, "Haven't I done enough? Can the Glory of the gods truly not last forever?"
Lu Wu remained silent for a long time before tentatively asking in a low voice, "Does Your Majesty need me to share your burdens?"
Upon hearing this, Eastern Emperor Taiyi pondered for a long time before replying, "My Lu Wu, if I dream of that nightmare again, be prepared to Purge yourself."
In the far east, even more distant than the world's far east, Bai Qiuran rode the Clear Autumn Waters, following behind the Three-Legged Crow that was leading the way.
Thanks to Jiang Lan's selfless dedication, he was finally able to experience the feeling of Sword Flight. This kind of freedom, riding the wind and roaming Grand Void in the vast sky, was something he had only dreamed of in his dreams before.
When Bai Qiuran first started Sword Flight, she felt so exhilarated that she was practically flying in the sky.
However, the more comfortable he felt, the heavier Bai Qiuran's feelings of guilt, gratitude, and pity for Jiang Lan became. This made him restrain his emotions faster than he had imagined, and he followed the Three-Legged Crow to Return Ruins.
His method of traveling and flying at such a speed astonished the Three-Legged Crow for a long time. The way he flew through the air on the sword blade was special and could be understood as Bai Qiuran's special Divine Office, but the fact that his speed could keep up with her Sun was very surprising to her.
The god and the human traveled one after the other. The speed of the Three-Legged Crow was unimaginable to ordinary people. Even Bai Qiuran had to exert all his strength to activate the True Essence in his body in order to keep up with the speed of this divine bird that flew from one side of the sky to the other every day.
The two ventured deep into the Chaos Vast Sea, and looking back, they could no longer see even the towering Fusang Divine Tree.
The sea churned with some powerful and dangerous Sea Beasts comparable to Heavenly Gods, but the Clear Autumn Waters beneath Bai Qiuran's feet was forged from Jiang Lan's Vast Sea Divine Authority.
Holding this Divine Sword, he was the god of the Vast Sea, and these Sea Beasts naturally dared not cause them any trouble.
It also saved me a lot of trouble.
Bai Qiuran thought to herself.
After traveling for an unknown amount of time, the Three-Legged Crow suddenly stopped in mid-air and whispered, "Marshal Bai, we've arrived."
Bai Qiuran looked at the boundless sea and asked, "Is it not in the same space as the Main World?"
"Almost."
The Three-Legged Crow stopped Bai Qiuran, who wanted to continue, and solemnly reminded him, "Marshal Bai, let me tell you first, time flows differently inside the Return Ruins than outside. Moreover, I haven't been here since my father's era ended, and no one knows what the Return Ruins looks like now. It may be fraught with danger inside, so please be careful... Also, I can only take you into the shallow layers, so please be extra careful."
"It's alright, I'm already extremely grateful that you brought me into the Return Ruins."
After they finished speaking, the Three-Legged Crow exuded a gentle divine Divine Power, and a warm feeling, like the sun shining on her, enveloped Bai Qiuran's entire body. Then, she led Bai Qiuran through a mysterious Spatial Barrier and into another space.
On this Vast Sea, Bai Qiuran could hear the sound of flowing water, as if a huge waterfall was cascading down from a great height.
The light before him faded, and he saw the magnificent scene before him.
Before him and the Three-Legged Crow, Vast Sea appeared in the boundless ocean. The endless seawater transformed into a huge, unimaginable waterfall, plunging down from this fault. Below the fault was another ocean, but it seemed impossible to fill it. Vast Sea matter how much water flowed into it, the water level below did not rise even slightly.
The clouds in the sky disappeared, leaving behind a dark and boundless Void. Tens of thousands of meters above, floating were large and small, broken and lifeless mountains or Stars.
"This is the Return Ruins."
The Three-Legged Crow pointed with its head to the boundless sea below.
"This vast ocean has no bottom, and I don't know exactly what's inside. This is all I can do for you. Please be careful on the rest of the way, Marshal Bai."
"I see."
Bai Qiuran cupped his hands in thanks to her. "Thank you, Miss Three-Legged Crow."
After bidding farewell to the Three-Legged Crow, Bai Qiuran rode his sword and slowly descended from the massive broken waterfall into the boundless Return Ruins.
Upon entering this Bottomless Abyss, which was even shorter than the Vast Sea, Bai Qiuran truly felt a strange sense of distortion. This feeling might be unfamiliar to others, but Bai Qiuran and Wisdom Immortal, who had once entered the River of Time, were very familiar with it.
"Hey, Wisdom Immortal."
He exclaimed, "This feeling, is it really just my imagination?"
"No."
Wisdom Immortal, who was hanging from his waist, spoke up, "This is indeed a sense of time displacement; the Three-Legged Crow wasn't lying."
"Let's be on the safe side and hurry up."
Bai Qiuran thought of Jiang Lan, who was alone outside, and for some reason, he felt extremely worried. He activated his True Essence with all his might, and his whole body transformed into a stream of light, traveling across this bottomless ocean.
After traveling countless miles, Bai Qiuran finally discovered a huge, flat-topped mountain range in this bottomless ocean.
This mountain range is extremely vast. According to Bai Qiuran's estimation, the flat top of that mountain alone is probably close to 10,000 miles in diameter, and the entire mountain range extends a terrifying distance of 30,000 to 40,000 miles.
White crystals grow on the mountainside, some of which look like twisted plant shapes, but they have no flowers, leaves, or fruit on them.
On the flat top of the mountain, there were still shadows of some building ruins. Bai Qiuran landed on it, searched around, and found a Stone Stele near the edge with two Divine Script written on it.
"Daiyu?"
With Jiang Lan's help, Bai Qiuran, who had already deciphered the demigod Divine Script model, recognized the two Divine Script.
There are also words carved in the lower left corner.
The sharp-eyed Bai Qiuran noticed the characters in the lower left corner of the Stone Stele, but they were not the characters used in his time or this era. Instead, they were some pictographic symbols. He took Wisdom Immortal down, faced it, and helped himself translate the characters.
"Let me see... Hmm, these are the words left behind by the First-Generation Heaven's Envy."
Wisdom Immortal understood and translated, "I've finally found it! The Kingdom of Shaohao is here. Penglai Daiyu of Penglai Elixir of Immortality must be somewhere. Once I find it, my people will be saved!"
"The Penglai Elixir of Immortality."
Bai Qiuran had heard similar legends in later generations, and he asked, "Does it really exist?"
"Perhaps it existed in the past."
Wisdom Immortal replied, "But I don't think there would be any Elixir of Immortality stored here in the current state."
"Keep searching."
Bai Qiuran her sword, leaving the mountain peak.
Just now, when he was in the sky above this mountaintop, he looked into the distance and discovered another similar mountain. Since the inscription on it says so, then the first Heaven's Envy must be on some Divine Mountain nearby.
