The Two Gods of Marsh and Xun
"This Immortal Method... it's too exaggerated, especially the combination of the two."
"If that's the case, then with Sword Intent and this Provisional Holding Divine Ability, does that mean my three Divine Ability in the Purple Mansion can rival the Five Laws Perfection?"
Lü Yuan was utterly astonished; he truly hadn't expected Immortal Method to be this powerful.
But at the same time, he became even more eager to explore the wonders of the Purple Mansion Chapter.
Only...
When Lü Yuan looked over, all he could see was a blur.
The Immortal Book was probably telling him that his level of cultivation was not yet high enough, and that he could explore the following content later.
Although his curiosity was abruptly interrupted, Lü Yuan had no complaints.
After all, as long as he continues his cultivation, this "Record of Riding the Emperor's Chariot to View the North Pole" will eventually still belong to him.
"No wonder the Immortal Book wants me to cultivate the [Northern Dipper] lineage--"
Lü Yuan sighed, and couldn't help but remark, "With such an Immortal Foundation and Divine Ability, being invincible among those of the same realm wouldn't be difficult..."
"However, this Immortal Method must have disappeared from the world today, otherwise [Northern Dipper] probably wouldn't have declined to the extent that Liu Bang described."
"No wonder he reacted that way when he heard 'Turning the Dipper Handle'."
At this point, Lü Yuan gazed into the distance, looking at the Great Marsh Mountain that Liu Bang had already gone to.
He was certain that the Immortal Book would not harm him.
Therefore, whatever Liu Bang went to confirm, the final result should be good.
However, Lü Yuan did not rush to cultivate his Immortal Foundation, even though the wonders of the Northern Dipper Immortal Method were irresistible to him.
Because Liu Bang advised him to make plans after they met at Great Marsh Mountain.
So that's what he'll do.
"But what exactly are you trying to confirm, and what about Great Marsh Mountain..."
"And who are you going to confirm this with?"
Lü Yuan murmured softly, "Great Marsh Mountain," a name almost identical to one he had heard about in his previous life when studying history.
The suspicions I had when Liu Bang first mentioned this place resurfaced in my mind.
"It can't be the two of them, can it...?"
Thinking of those two people, Lü Yuan suddenly felt that the Great Marsh Mountain in front of him had become mysterious, quiet, and enigmatic.
A bold idea popped into his head.
"If this is truly a scripted event, as Punk Lü Yuan claims, then since Liu Bang was Golden Core True Lord, wouldn't they also be—"
Lü Yuan's whispers were perhaps only heard by the birds, but they did not carry the message as they flew towards Great Marsh Mountain.
The three members of "Swan Heaven" did not react at all.
Although the "Swan Heaven" is based on Great Marsh Mountain, it neither appears in the present world nor has any form in the Dharma Realm.
As a blessed land jointly built by two Fruit Position True Lords, it has remained a self-contained world for thousands of years, undisturbed by the outside world.
This place has a sky as round as an overturned urn, and a square earth as square as an overturned board.
The sky has no sun or moon, but two pure white wings stretch across the mid-sky. The left wing is called Ze (泽), and the right wing is called Xun (巽). When the wings flutter lightly, the light of the sky flows and the four seasons change.
This day has neither day nor night; the rising and falling of the wind is the indicator of time.
When the wind rises, it is dawn; when the wind ceases, it is dusk.
A clear wind heralds spring, a strong wind heralds summer, a chilly wind heralds autumn, and a calm wind heralds winter.
Looking out, the Yunmeng Great Marsh and the Three Groves of Xun Wind each occupy their own territory, their boundless scenery truly unparalleled in the human world.
At this very moment, the three of them were standing in the Waiting-for-Wind Pavilion of Three Groves of Xun Wind.
"It's not like we can't see you brought them here. Why do you insist on coming in? Just leave those people here; we'll take care of them."
The man at the head, dressed simply and like Liu Bang, showing no signs of possessing any Golden Core power, smelled the alcohol and feigned disgust, saying:
"As for you, either go back to your 'Crimson Firmament Heaven' or go back to Pei County; in short, don't bother us."
"We only have a few years left before the grand plan of mending the heavens is completed, and I'm not in the mood to drink with you right now."
"Not bad," echoed the man standing beside him, his long hair flowing freely and dressed in an elegant light blue robe.
"You're not welcome here, future competitor—"
"Or have you changed your mind and decided to join our side? If that's the case, it's not impossible for you to stay."
"Alright, but I really will stay. Do you dare to accept it?" Liu Bang, whose clothes were much older than those of the men, did not rush to state his intentions.
On the contrary, I found it quite interesting to chat with these two old friends.
"After all, you two should have seen the strange phenomenon this morning, and my E Xu should be awake by now--"
"Since I'm joining you, she'll naturally be coming with me."
Are you confident that we won't usurp your place and that all your efforts will fall into our hands?
The answer to this question is self-evident.
Although both Liu Bang and Lü Zhi held only Residual Position, the nature of these Residual Position and their corresponding Residual Position must be considered.
The Residual Position of the Yin-Yang lineage, and it was personally verified--
In truth, the two of them were no match for Liu Bang and his wife.
"You two shouldn't be reminiscing here..."
The master of Great Marsh Mountain gently rubbed his forehead. "Speak plainly, Liu Bang, what brings you here today? And what were you doing regarding the strange phenomena earlier?"
Upon hearing this, the True Lord beside him fell silent, also waiting quietly for Liu Bang's reply.
Liu Bang smiled calmly, "So you're being so unsympathetic? I thought that with our friendship from when we embarked on the 'Second Sun' side by side, we could chat a little longer."
He was met only with two indifferent glances; it seems that the so-called friendship was probably just his own perception.
However, he wasn't embarrassed; he simply changed the subject in time.
Liu Bang leaned against an ancient tree outside the pavilion. "Alright, alright, let's get to the point. Let's answer the second question first—"
"If I said I just wanted to wake up my daughter E Xu ahead of time, would you believe my lies?"
"Don't be so improper..." The Azure-Clad True Lord couldn't stand it anymore and gently scolded.
"If even one of the former Heavenly Lords of the [Heavenly Market] lineage were still alive, seeing you in this state, tarnishing the lineage's reputation, he would surely break your legs."
"Alright, I know you're a veteran, and you even witnessed the Heavenly Emperor back then. Is that enough?"
Liu Bang simply shrugged helplessly at his reprimand.
"However, if it weren't for the fact that you two were once the Two Gods of Marsh and Xun, I wouldn't have come looking for you this time."
Two Gods of Marsh and Xun...
The two hadn't heard this title for many years, and they remembered that it was a name given to them by people who worshipped them three thousand years ago.
But the nostalgia lasts only a fleeting moment.
The two then turned their attention back to Liu Bang, as he began to explain his reasons.
"Getting back to the main point, the strange phenomena that occurred earlier were because of my child. I'll explain the reason later."
"And I came here this time because of him."
"For some reason, I need to go to the 'Rise and Fall Pavilion' in the [Purple Forbidden Enclosure] to look up some ancient records."
"And now, you two are among the few 'Ancient Gods' in the world who still possess the ability to lead people into that place, aren't you?"
Liu Bang said without any politeness, "So, if you two still have any old friendship, one of you will stay to help me take care of the child, and the other will accompany me on this journey to 'The rise and fall of dynasties throughout history is all contained in this pavilion'—"
"How?"
