The World of the Legend of the White Snake
The news that the Mysterious Bookstore had subdued the Divine Beast within the Nine Heavens Mountain instantly swept through the entire Dubian Town and spread at an incredible speed. Unlike the previous Sky-reaching Ape Monkey, the Nine Heavens Mountain was one of the four great adventure holy lands of the Azure Dragon Continent, containing many things that cultivators on the continent Covet. However, due to the existence of the Divine Beast within the Nine Heavens Mountain, cultivators who ventured deep into the Nine Heavens Mountain over the past 30,000 years had perished one after another.
Therefore, the depths of the Nine Heavens Mountain are basically a forbidden zone for human cultivators. Even top-tier Spirit Saint cultivators only dare to linger around the outer perimeter of the Eighth Mountain and dare not enter the Nine Heavens Mountain.
Now that the Divine Beast within the Nine Heavens Mountain has been subdued, it means that the depths of the Nine Heavens Mountain are no longer a forbidden area for cultivators; instead, they have become a place of opportunity.
It was precisely because of this that, as soon as the news came out, figures kept flying over Dubian Town, heading towards Nine Heavens Mountain. Those were all adults, who wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Divine Beast had just been subdued to sneak into the depths of Nine Heavens Mountain and scavenge for what they could.
As the saying goes, the bold get rich, the timid starve. Besides the cultivators at the Spirit Saint realm, some Spirit Emperor and Spirit Venerable cultivators also took to the skies, hoping to seize this opportunity to gain some benefits. As for the cultivators at the Spirit King and Spirit Ancestor Sect realms, they could only be envious, because even if they wanted to go, they couldn't get in. At their level, they had to be extremely careful once they reached the sixth mountain. If they were lucky enough to pass the sixth mountain and reach the seventh mountain... don't be happy, it's a sure way to die. Being able to retreat alive is considered lucky, let alone passing through the seventh mountain.
However, these lower-level cultivators did not give up. If they couldn't get the opportunity, they could collect Orange Fragment! Now the Mysterious Bookstore has increased the rewards. One Orange Fragment can be exchanged for five million Spirit Crystal or a common Divine Abilities and Spells. The Captivate is simply too great.
Then, under these circumstances, the cultivators of Dubian Town began to enter Nine Heavens Mountain one after another. If an uninformed person saw this, they would think that this was the clarion call for a human counterattack, and that a large-scale attack on Nine Heavens Mountain had begun.
After the heavily armored warriors outside the Zhenbei learned that the Mysterious Bookstore had subdued the Divine Beast of Nine Heavens Mountain, they began to prepare for their retreat. According to everyone's previous speculation, this spirit beast uprising must have been instigated by a high-level intelligent spirit beast. And there couldn't be a second spirit beast in the entire Nine Heavens Mountain besides that Divine Beast that could instigate a seventh-level or even eighth-level spirit beast. Now that the Divine Beast has been subdued, the spirit beasts in Nine Heavens Mountain will naturally not be able to attack Dubian Town, and these heavily armored warriors can retreat back to Yuanfang City.
The battle between spirit beasts and humans ended in this way, but the story was not over yet. Just as the cultivators were rushing to the Nine Heavens Mountain, a black book floated up in the sky above the Mysterious Bookstore, and a projection appeared silently above the Mysterious Bookstore.
"Huh? Another projection?" The cultivators still in Dubian Town looked puzzled when they saw this. The Mysterious Bookstore had announced a temporary closure these past few days, so there shouldn't be anyone reading Bookstore inside.
"Could it be like 'Journey to the West'?" one cultivator couldn't help but ask. This wasn't unprecedented; a while ago, "Journey to Journey to the West" suddenly appeared in the middle of the night, though at the time no one knew who had entered the world of the book.
"They're out!"
At this moment, the projection lit up, and the cultivators in Dubian Town subconsciously moved towards the Zhenbei. Although they didn't know what the book was or what was inside, this behavior had become a habit, an unconscious action for them.
The projected image showed a family home with a man and a woman. The man was around thirty years old, with a dark complexion, a beard, and a solemn expression. He was wearing a light blue constable's uniform.
The woman was a little younger, slightly plump, with a kind face. Her long hair was tied up, secured by a jade hairpin. She wore a brown openwork shirt, exuding the air of a virtuous wife and loving mother.
The man appeared to be about to leave, and the woman was adjusting his clothes.
"Is this the protagonist? Wow, that's impressive!" The cultivators outside couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing this scene.
However, no one picked up on that topic.
"Are there no people from our world going in this time?" a cultivator asked doubtfully. Although the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey went in last time in Journey to the Journey to the West, no one knew that the Stone Monkey inside was the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey. So, until now, everyone thought that the last Journey to the Journey to the West projection was just a video clip for them to watch.
"It's too early to say anything now; we'll find out as we watch."
Those around them agreed, realizing that the projection had only just begun and it wouldn't be appropriate to make a hasty judgment. So they focused their attention back on the projection.
Within the projection.
Ma Feifei looked down at his own figure, then at the woman beside him who was straightening his clothes, and was completely bewildered.
"Does the White Lady in 'The Legend of the Righteous Demon' look like this? Where is my Zhao Yazhi?"
It wasn't that the woman in front of him was ugly, but she was indeed far from the image of White Lady in Ma Feifei's mind. Moreover, she was slightly plump and not slender, and her whole demeanor lacked that ethereal quality, which completely overturned Ma Feifei's understanding of White Lady's appearance.
"Did I pick up the wrong script? This style is off!" Ma Feifei couldn't help but shift from side to side.
"Husband, it's done." The woman finally straightened Ma Feifei's clothes, smiled at Ma Feifei, and said.
"Husband?" Ma Feifei was taken aback, subconsciously wondering if the plot had already reached the point after Xu Xian and White Lady got married?
Just then, a memory suddenly flooded into Ma Feifei's mind. After accepting it, Ma Feifei breathed a sigh of relief. The person he possessed was not Xu Xian, nor was the White Lady, but Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong, a married couple.
"Friendly reminder: Xu Xian and White Lady have had a chance encounter at West Lake." The system's voice rang out.
"Holy crap!" Ma Feifei exclaimed in alarm. If the White Snake were to seduce Xu Xian, wouldn't the mission become even more difficult?
Before Ma Feifei could even speak to Xu Jiaorong, he grabbed his knife and ran outside.
The West Lake in March is beautiful, with willows swaying in the breeze, clear water rippling, small boats occasionally gliding across the surface, pedestrians coming and going on the shore, vendors calling out their wares, children playing, and... Ma Feifei's version of Li Gongfu.
"Oh my god, wasn't it said that Xu Xian and White Lady met on the Broken Bridge? Where are they?" Ma Feifei stood on the Broken Bridge, looking left and right, it was driving him crazy with anxiety.
Suddenly, a muffled clap of thunder echoed through the previously clear sky.
The rain poured down relentlessly.
The bustling West Lake instantly became quiet as everyone fled to avoid the rain. Only Ma Feifei frowned and stared motionlessly at the dock on the opposite bank.
A young man in light gray stepped onto the small boat, followed closely by a woman in white and a woman in Qingyi.
"Here it comes!" Ma Feifei gripped his broadsword, but then put it down. Ma Feifei could feel the powerful force within him, meaning his strength hadn't been sealed. However, the mission required him to use brute force, so he had to outsmart the enemy.
"But which snake is the dragon?" Ma Feifei pondered as he watched the boatman, wearing a straw hat and raincoat, slowly steer the boat towards the center of the lake.
"Who cares? If you can't tell the difference, treat them all as dragons!"
