The True Heavenly White Jade Capital (8/10)
After Wu Chu and Qingqiu Li gave away their fruits, Houtu shared her own fruits with them, and even Hao and Yao got a share.
Everyone gets a share...
Uh, no one gets a share, only the Little Flower Fairies of Jade Capital Mountain.
Just to avoid embarrassment, Little Moon Spirit took out the food she had hidden and shared it with the Little Flower Fairies of Jade Capital Mountain.
As for Wu Chu giving the whole Yellow Plum to Little Moon Spirit, everyone felt envious but not truly jealous. After all, Little Moon Spirit was very popular in Purple Jade Mountain.
Encouraged by Wu Chu, Little Moon Spirit ate the Yellow Plum then entered a state of enlightenment through the essence contained within it.
After eating the Yellow Plum, others gained some insights, more or less.
To avoid being disturbed, Hao flicked his sleeves and escorted them back to their residence.
Years later, Wu Chu awoke from his state of enlightenment.
Qingqiu Li and Houtu, who were by my side, are no longer here.
I got up and opened the window. I could see clouds and mist swirling and drifting outside. In the distance, amidst the sea of clouds, the shadows of cranes flew by, traversing between the green mountains.
A delicate floral fragrance wafted to the air. Upon hearing the sound of the opening, some Little Flower Fairies curiously looked over. When they saw Wu Chu's figure, they couldn't help but bow in respect.
As a disciple of Ancestor Hongjun, Wu Chu's status in Jade Capital Mountain was even higher than Hao and Yao's, but he was not familiar with them, so he still had to be polite to them.
Wu Chu pushed open the door and stepped out, feeling the cool, refreshing air outside. He thought to himself somewhat nonsensically, "It's only because everyone here has such strong cultivation levels. If an ordinary person lived in such a misty place for a long time, they might be quite immortal, but they would easily get rheumatism."
At that moment, a small figure drifted over from afar, bowing to him from a distance, "Senior Brother, have you finished your enlightenment? Did you gain anything?"
Looking at his junior brother Hao, who resembled a young Daoist disciple, Wu Chu smiled and said, "You've had some small gains, haven't you?" After a pause, he asked, "Have you seen your sister-in-law and the others?"
Hao smiled and said, "Junior Sister Yao took them to Jade Spring Peak. There's a Hot Spring there, and the foot of the mountain is full of flowers. Senior Brother, would you like to go and take a look?"
Wu Chu nodded and said, "There's no rush. Show me around Jade Capital Mountain first! As the senior disciple of Jade Capital Mountain, it wouldn't be right for me not to know about it."
Hao nodded and said, "Alright, Senior Brother, feel free to ask me anything you want to know. Junior Brother, please take me to see the whole view of Jade Capital Mountain first. Senior Brother, please follow me!"
So, Wu Chu, stepping on Merit Auspicious Cloud, ascended with Hao, riding the clouds and mist upwards.
Jade Capital Mountain is a secluded Grotto-Heaven on the Primordial Land.
As the two flew into the air, higher and higher, passing through the clouds and standing in the sea of clouds, they could then discover the wonders of Jade Capital Mountain when they looked down.
It turns out that Jade Capital Mountain is a super-giant floating mountain that floats in the air. However, this floating mountain is so vast that Wu Chu are completely unaware of it.
After all, Wu Chu couldn't just release his Divine Sense to scan randomly here.
That's why he discovered the secret of Jade Capital Mountain.
But thinking about it, it's not really that strange. The Primordial Land is said to be a vast land floating in the void, but it's so vast that people have overlooked this fact and no one bothers to investigate it.
Returning to the Jade Capital Mountain, in terms of its vastness, even the Earth would be a mere unit of measurement compared to it. Around this floating mountain, many other floating mountains of varying sizes also float. Above and below these floating mountains, clouds and mist swirl around them.
If you look up from the sea of clouds below, calling it the "Heavenly White Jade Capital" would be perfectly accurate.
Seeing Wu Chu's dumbfounded expression, Hao smiled smugly, "Senior brother, are you surprised? Haha..."
Wu Chu nodded and smiled, "It is indeed quite surprising. It really is White Jade Capital. Is Jade Spring Peak on this Jade Capital Mountain, or on one of those floating mountains?"
"It's on one of those floating mountains, right over there." Hao pointed to a floating mountain shrouded in clouds on the distant horizon and explained to Wu Chu, "Jade Capital Mountain is where Master's Daoist Temple is located. Master doesn't like crowds, so Yao and I usually do our work on those floating mountains. For example, raising some edible spirit beasts, or growing those fruits and melons... Anyway, it's not that far for us."
This distance is indeed not far for a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal; at most, it's only two or three times farther than the journey from Purple Jade Mountain to the Houtu Tribe.
"Then does the Yellow Plum, the Chaos Spiritual Root that Master brought back from the Primordial Chaos, grow on this Jade Capital Mountain?" Wu Chu asked again.
Hao shook his head and said, "That Yellow Plum tree absorbs Chaos Spiritual Energy, so Master planted it on one of the floating mountains..."
"Take me to see that Yellow Plum tree!" Wu Chu said. "I want to see what that Chaos Spiritual Root looks like."
So Wu Chu followed Hao and flew eastward.
After flying out of the colossal floating mountain of Jade Capital Mountain, the first floating mountain to the due east is where Yellow Plum is located.
The two floating islands are only about one or two Earth diameters apart.
It's obvious that these floating islands are stationary. If they could move, the energy generated by that movement would be enough to create powerful storms around them. Therefore, the world of immortals and gods is difficult to define using physics.
When the two arrived in front of the floating mountain where Yellow Plum was, Wu Chu immediately sensed the abnormality of the floating mountain. The entire floating mountain, which was more than 10,000 miles in diameter, was wrapped in layers of runic restrictions, appearing and disappearing among the clouds and mist.
Hao produced a jade tablet and shone it on the runic barrier. A portal opened in the barrier, and a vast and powerful aura rushed out.
Hao grabbed Wu Chu's hand and instantly disappeared inside, simultaneously sending a telepathic message, "Senior brother, hurry up and get in, I need to close that door."
Upon entering, Wu Chu looked up, his gaze filled with disbelief.
On this enormous floating mountain, everything was bare. A vast and majestic aura, carrying an ancient and weathered feel, echoed everywhere, impacting everything, including their bodies, giving them a tearing sensation.
Hao explained, "This aura comes from Chaos Spiritual Energy. Yellow Plum usually absorbs Chaos Spiritual Energy, and you can see Chaos Spiritual Energy swirling around him, but it's neither yin Yin Yang, nor has it transformed into the Five Elements... This is only a trace of Primordial Chaos Qi, not true Chaos Spiritual Energy. If it were true Chaos Spiritual Energy, my master said that even with my Taiyi Realm, I wouldn't be able to sustain it for long."
Wu Chu slightly raised his head, staring intently at the suspended Spirit Root in the center of the earth.
