Has Anyone Ever Seen an Immortal?

Fifteen minutes had never seemed to pass so slowly to everyone.

The pace was so slow that some people couldn't help but groan in pain.

When the incense and candles used for timing burned out, some people couldn't help but cheer.

"It's been a quarter of an hour."

"Finally, a quarter of an hour has passed. I wonder where Senior Sister Lu Xueqi is now."

"Didn't Senior Sister Lu Xueqi say she was going to the coast of the East Sea?"

"You idiot, Qingyun Mountain is so far from the East Sea coast, how could Senior Sister Lu Xueqi possibly get there in a quarter of an hour?"

"That's hard to say. Senior Sister Lu Xueqi now has the cultivation of the Taiqing Realm. Who says she definitely can't do it?"

"Stop arguing! Aren't you all curious about what this treasure is for?"

"Who knows, but I suspect it's related to remote communication."

"That's impossible. Even if it's a flying sword, it can't travel more than ten thousand miles. Even if the flying sword can withstand it, a person can't withstand such a huge drain on their magical energy."

"Look, Brother Li is up."

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Li Hao slowly rose to his feet.

He nodded slightly to Dao Xuan and the others, then walked to the glowing array plate and smiled, saying, "This thing is quite interesting, but it will require the cooperation of a fellow Daoist."

Upon hearing this, everyone became excited.

A pretty young female disciple from Little Bamboo Peak excitedly asked, "Brother Daoist, what is the use of this treasure?"

Li Hao smiled mysteriously, "This treasure has many uses. However, to find out its most important use, we'll need someone to test it out for themselves. I've often heard Lu Xueqi mention the senior sister of Little Bamboo Peak. I wonder if Wenmin would be interested in coming up and trying it out?"

Everyone turned to look at Wenmin; some were envious, some were jealous, but most were curious.

Wenmin blushed deeply as she faced the gazes of the crowd.

She murmured something, looked at Shuiyue, and after receiving a response, whispered, "In that case, I'll trouble you, fellow Daoist. I wonder what I should do?"

Li Hao said, "Just stand in front of the treasure mirror."

Magic Mirror?

Everyone looked at the shimmering, fluorescent mirror with expressions of curiosity.

Wenmin moved gracefully and stood in front of the precious mirror.

Li Hao asked, "Are you ready?"

Wenmin took a deep breath, then nodded slightly.

Li Hao received a response and gently tapped the magic mirror with his right index finger.

Then, the five rubies shone brightly, suddenly becoming as bright as five small red light bulbs, illuminating the temple in red. Then, the silver patterns seemed to come alive, shimmering with silver light, ultimately converging on the golden talisman.

As the golden talismans lit up, a hazy light and shadow appeared above the precious mirror.

The light and shadow were initially hazy like a mist, but quickly became clear.

Above the mirror, a holographic seascape was reflected, covering an area of approximately two hundred meters in radius.

Lu Xueqi was dressed in white, her long hair flowing like a waterfall.

She stood on a cliff by the sea, with a sheer drop of thousands of feet not far away. The waves surged and crashed against the cliff, creating a thunderous roar.

Lu Xueqi, seeing the figure appearing above the magic mirror, asked in surprise, "Senior Sister Wenmin?"

Wenmin stared in disbelief at the holographic projection above the mirror, unsure of what to say.

What kind of tactic is this?

The cultivation world does have methods for transmitting information over long distances, but these methods can only transmit simple information and are extremely limited by the caster's magical power.

Such spells, which can directly transmit sound and even images, do exist in the cultivation world, but they are extremely precious and not something ordinary people can master.

Wenmin stood frozen for two seconds, then asked in a trembling voice, "Lu Xueqi, where... where are you?"

Lu Xueqi looked around and shook her head slightly, saying, "I've never been here before and don't know where this is. But judging from the scenery, it should be the coast of the East Sea."

"This seems to be near Tongshan. I remember there's a Peach Blossom Island about fifty miles out to sea. Lu Xueqi, continue searching eastward to see if there's an island where peach blossoms bloom all year round," Dao Xuan, a man of great knowledge, instructed after a moment's thought.

Upon hearing the voice, Lu Xueqi cupped her hands and said, "This disciple obeys."

She rode the wind, carrying the precious mirror eastward.

With Lu Xueqi's current cultivation level, a distance of several dozen miles is nothing more than a blink of an eye.

After a quick search, she found the Peach Blossom Island that Dao Xuan had mentioned.

Although it's autumn or winter, the island remains warm as spring, with peach blossoms in full bloom, resembling a sea of peach blossoms.

Master Cangsong suddenly stood up, his eyes wide, and exclaimed in surprise, "It really is near Peach Blossom Island! This Peach Blossom Island is more than ten thousand miles away from our Qingyun Sect. This treasure mirror can actually display the scenery more than ten thousand miles away so clearly!"

Cangsong spoke, he seemed unsure how to comment.

Dao Xuan was equally shocked.

Speculation and confirmed information are two different things.

When Dao Xuan confirmed that this was indeed Peach Blossom Island, his shock was no less than anyone else's.

Over ten thousand miles away, it not only enables real-time communication but also displays scenes from thousands of miles away. Dao Xuan had never heard of or seen such a method. If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he would have dismissed it as nonsense.

Dao Xuan remained silent for two seconds, then looked at Li Hao with fervent eyes and exclaimed, "Fellow Daoist's methods are truly miraculous, a real eye-opener. Such a rare treasure is enough to make you famous for generations to come."

The elders of the Qingyun Sect nodded in agreement.

They were all well-informed people; how could they not know the value of this treasure?

Imagine the immense advantage of using such a valuable resource in military or commercial applications. Intelligence from thousands of miles away could arrive instantly.

Although the disciples of the Qingyun Sect didn't think too much about it, they were still incredibly curious to see a view that stretched for thousands of miles. If it weren't for the fact that the seven elders of the Qingyun Sect were sitting on it, they would have cheered and crowded around long ago.

Even so, everyone still peeked in, practically burying their heads in the holographic projection.

Li Hao smiled and said, "The uses of this item are not limited to this."

As Li Hao spoke, he reached out with his right hand toward his low table.

He raised his glass to Lu Xueqi and said with a smile, "The treasure is complete. Please, Lu Xueqi, join me for a drink."

Li Hao formed a hand seal with his left hand, and a silver circular portal suddenly appeared on the magic mirror, resembling a rotating Nebula.

He then placed the wine glass in his hand into it.

Then, a faint starlight flickered within the silver circular portal in front of Lu Xueqi, and a wine glass appeared out of thin air in front of Lu Xueqi. Fortunately, Lu Xueqi reacted quickly and caught the glass, preventing the Little Bamboo Peak fruit wine inside from spilling.

Lu Xueqi's bright eyes sparkled with surprise as she looked at Li Hao.

Others might not know the use of this thing, but how could she not?

Isn't this preparation for developing the Great Thousand Worlds?

Two delicate blushes appeared on Lu Xueqi's cold and beautiful face. She picked up her wine glass, took a small sip, and smiled, "Brother Li's methods always truly broaden Lu Xueqi's horizons."

As Lu Xueqi finished speaking, a bright and charming smile appeared on her lips.

She smiled and said, "I will also give Brother Li a peach blossom from the East Sea in return."

Lu Xueqi's fair hand broke off a peach branch and threw it into the silver-white door in front of her.

But then, starlight began to shimmer, and a fragrant peach branch appeared before Li Hao. The delicate peach blossoms were in full bloom, their pink petals swaying in the gentle breeze like shy young girls.

Upon seeing this, everyone could no longer contain their excitement.

"That's amazing!"

"Wow, how is this possible? To be able to send something from tens of thousands of miles away to our Qingyun Sect, even the legendary immortal techniques are no more than this!"

"Incredible, absolutely incredible. I've never heard of such a method before. How did Brother Li manage to do it?"

The young girls of Little Bamboo Peak all looked at Li Hao with burning eyes, filled with admiration and excitement. As for the elders of the Qingyun Sect, they were already dumbfounded, standing there frozen in shock.

They never imagined that the treasure Li Hao casually crafted would possess such profound functions.

They had never heard of such a method as teleporting something from thousands of miles away to the Qingyun Sect.

Dao Xuan's voice trembled slightly as he couldn't help but ask, "May I ask, Brother Dao, what kind of technique is this?"

Upon hearing this, Li Hao's smile grew even more gentle.

Have you been promoted from fellow Daoist to fellow Daoist?

Li Hao smiled and said, "A little teleportation technique, nothing to mention."

Dao Xuan's face twitched slightly.

Not worth mentioning!

Such methods are already shocking and unconventional, aren't they?

Shuiyue couldn't help but ask, "The art of teleportation—I've heard of such magic, but I've never seen a technique that can move something tens of thousands of miles away. Your skill is truly astonishing."

Suru exclaimed, "I've never seen anything like this before; I've only ever heard of it in the Myth and legends."

Upon hearing this, Li Hao narrowed his eyes slightly.

The time has come.

He suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly, "Fellow Daoist is right. I have been studying this method precisely to find the abode of immortals and gods and to pursue the wondrous method of immortality."

Suru was first taken aback, then asked curiously, "What do you mean by this, fellow Daoist?"

Li Hao pondered for a moment and said, "Among all cultivators, who hasn't heard of legends of immortals and gods, who hasn't heard of the wondrous method of eternal life that allows one to neither age nor die? But how many have truly seen immortals and gods, and how many have truly witnessed the method of Eternal?"

I have long heard of the saying of ascending to heaven in broad daylight, and also of becoming an Flying Immortal.

But although we have heard of the legends of ascension, have we ever seen an immortal return from the Immortal Realm, or have we ever truly witnessed the Immortal Realm?

Everyone remained silent.

They asked themselves honestly, although they had heard legends of immortals, no one had ever seen a real immortal or god, nor had anyone ever heard of any immortal or god returning.

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, everyone couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Do immortals truly exist in this world?

The Cangsong asked in confusion, "The concept of immortals has existed since ancient times. Although we have never seen one, we cannot refute its existence. But what does your teleportation technique have to do with immortals?"

Li Hao confidently declared, "Seeking Immortality!"

Everyone looked on in astonishment, exchanging bewildered glances.

Seeking Immortals?

What does this have to do with anything?

They were filled with confusion and doubt, unable to understand the reason behind it.
