Entering the Immortal Mansion (Happy Qixi Festival! An extra-long update to wish you all well)

The next day, beneath a blazing sun, Jiang Yun emerged from the Source Pearl with Jiang Shuanglan and the others.

Jiang Yun planned to survey the mountain range assigned to them by Qishi Mansion and lay down formation patterns, providing some protection while blocking outsiders from spying.

Yan Ruyu and the others would furnish their future cultivation abode. Although they had the Source Pearl, they at least needed to keep up appearances.

Jiang Yun walked step by step along the ancient bluestone path through the mountains, using the Source Heaven Divine Eye to survey the surrounding terrain as he went.

Qishi Mansion stood at the heart of an immortal vein, rich with dragon qi and wreathed in purple mist, its nobility beyond description. Jiang Yun had studied the Source Heavenly Book deeply enough to sense what made this place extraordinary.

Terrain like this should only have existed in the Immortal Realm.

Jiang Yun was curious. What treasures might emerge if this place were excavated?

For now, however, he only dared entertain the thought. If he actually dug it up, Qishi Mansion's old mansion master, a Saint, would probably go mad.

Sensing the wonders of the terrain, Jiang Yun gradually became one with heaven and earth, merging with the mountains and rivers.

Every step carried an ancient, graceful rhythm, as though an eternal, unchanging Dao flowed through him, transcending the dust of words.

He stood outside the mountains, gazing at the range that would become his home, motionless for so long that even a bird mistook him for a woody vine and settled on his shoulder.

Not far away, a dashing figure approached. Though she still dressed as a man, she could hide nothing beneath Jiang Yun's Divine Eye.

Her skin was smooth as cream, her brows seemingly drawn in ink.
