Chapter 442 Penglai Island
Penglai Island is in the sea.
The record about Penglai Island in "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is just this one confusing sentence.
This sentence gives people a bit of the feeling of taking off pants to fart. If the island is not in the sea, then where is it?
So, later someone changed this sentence to: Penglai Mountain is in the sea.
To be honest, it would be better not to change it, because the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" has been passed down since ancient times for many years, and everyone knows the legend of Penglai Island. Changing it to Penglai Mountain is somewhat inappropriate.
Where does Penglai Mountain come from?
There is not even a legend of Mount Penglai in this world, so I don’t know what they were thinking of creating a Mount Penglai.
As for why the original record about Penglai Island in "Classic of Mountains and Seas" was inexplicably "Penglai Island is in the sea", Chen Jiu guessed it.
Since the writer could not enter Penglai Island at all, he naturally could not describe what Penglai Island looked like, so he could only come up with a saying that "Penglai Island is in the sea."
Penglai Island is the core of Tongtian Sect. Not only does the Sect Master of Tongtian Sect live here, but almost all of the True Lords and True Men of Tongtian Sect also gather here. The defense is extremely tight, so ordinary people naturally cannot get in.
Chen Jiu was able to come in, and not only was he able to come in, but there was also someone to receive and greet him.
The Tongtian Sect gave him enough face. Not only did they send the Golden Spirit Heavenly Master to pick him up over a distance of twenty or thirty thousand miles, they also sent the Fire Spirit Heavenly Master with dozens of True Lords and thousands of True Immortals to line up to welcome him.
He looked at Penglai Island, which seemed to be covered by thick fog, and couldn't help asking, "Big Sister, can I use my spiritual sense to see what this place looks like?"
Jin Ling Tianzun nodded slightly and said, "Others can't do it, but you can."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu immediately sent out his spiritual sense to take a look.
My God, this Penglai Island is more than 3,000 miles in radius, and the island is full of spiritual energy like thick fog. The whole island is a rare paradise, and the spiritual energy is so rich that it is rarely seen even in the divine world. At least he has never seen such rich spiritual energy except here.
In fact, he couldn't sweep anything, because the Tongtian Sect was proficient in formations, and the island was covered with dense formations. Apart from the thick fog, he could basically not sweep anything else.
At this time, Jin Ling Tianzun had already met up with Huo Ling Tianzun, passed through the two rows of Zhenjun and Zhenren who were neatly arranged in the clouds, drove the chariot and drove the Heavenly Dog, and headed straight for the center of Penglai Island.
Chen Jiu saw that there was nothing but thick fog along the way, and he could not see anything. He simply retracted his consciousness and said politely, "Sister Huo Ling, thank you for welcoming me."
Fire Spirit Heavenly Venerable smiled and said, "You are coming to Penglai Island as a guest, so I will naturally welcome you. If other people come, I won't bother to pay attention to them."
That’s very well said.
Chen Jiu raised his hand and took out ten boxes of Demon God Nine-level Blood Crystals. He said generously, "Senior Sister Huo Ling, I came here in a hurry and didn't bring anything good. This is similar to the blood crystals of the snake demon god. If you don't mind, take it."
How could I dislike something that is comparable to a divine elixir?
Fire Spirit Heavenly Venerable said rather awkwardly: "Master Jiu, you are too polite. I feel a little embarrassed to accept such a valuable thing from you."
Chen Jiu simply joked: "How about just come and see their betrothal gifts?"
bride price?
When Huo Ling Tianzun saw the shy sisters, he could not help but nodded and said, "Master Jiu is such a good person, I naturally have nothing to say."
Now that you put it that way, it really seems like she's coming over to offer a betrothal gift.
Chen Jiu was so embarrassed by the joke.
Fortunately, the eight celestial dogs pulled the cart at full speed, much faster than any avian demon god. Before long, they arrived at the center of Penglai Island.
This place is so spectacular!
Chen Jiu looked up and was stunned.
In front of them was a steep cliff dozens of miles high, and on top of the cliff was a nine-story palace dozens of miles high that reached into the sky.
The cliff and the palace are surrounded by rich five-element spiritual energy, as if they were shrouded in colorful auspicious clouds.
The carriage passed unimpeded and went directly into the lobby on the first floor of the palace. This lobby was probably hundreds of miles in radius, and the spiritual energy inside was so dense that it felt like entering the bottom of the sea. The spiritual energy, as thick as water, seemed to wet people's bodies. As long as you inhaled it casually, you would feel as if you had taken an elixir and the spiritual energy would surge.
There seemed to be a huge Bagua formation engraved on the ground of the lobby. On the circular platform in the middle of the Bagua formation, an old man with white hair and beard was sitting there with a kind face. He was just like an old centenarian in the mortal world, and there was no trace of immortal aura in his body.
Returning to the original nature, this old man should be the ancestor Tongtian.
Sure enough, as soon as the carriage stopped on the high platform, Yuyi Tianzun, Yunxiao Tianzun, Bailing Tianzun and others flew down one after another, walked over quickly, bowed and said, "Greetings, Master."
Chen Jiu quickly followed and flew over, clasping his hands and bowing, saying, "Greetings, Old Ancestor."
Patriarch Tongtian nodded slightly, looked at Yuyi Tianzun, Yunxiao Tianzun, Bailing Tianzun, Shuiling Tianzun and other disciples with a kind face, then raised his hand and said: "My friends, please sit down, everyone sit down, no need to be polite."
Oh my God, Patriarch Tongtian actually called me little friend!
Does this mean that I am on par with the ancestor?
When he was at the level of demon fairy in the mortal world, he still dreamed of becoming the disciple of Patriarch Tongtian. Who would have known that suddenly he had become a figure who could stand on equal footing with Patriarch Tongtian!
Chen Jiu was stunned for a moment, then quickly raised his hand and waved it, and the sky above the huge circular platform was immediately filled with jade bottles and jade boxes.
He introduced respectfully: "Old Ancestor, one hundred thousand bottles of elixirs for strengthening the spirit, one hundred bottles of each of the Five Elements Elixir, and one hundred boxes of various monster blood crystals. This is just a small gift, not a token of respect."
You still call this a small gift? With the current market conditions, if these things were put up for auction, they could fetch at least tens of millions of bottles of elixirs!
Tongtian Patriarch smiled and said, "My friend, you have been talking about a betrothal gift all the way. This is your betrothal gift, right? Well, I also think you are a good person. Since Shuiling and Yunxiao are so happy, I will not break them up. Just stay together and love each other."
Upon hearing this, Yunxiao Tianzun couldn't help but asked shyly, "Master, what are you talking about?"
Tongtian Patriarch pretended to be sincere and said: "Master means to help you, what's the matter, little girl, you still want Master to return a big gift, Master is not as generous as you."
Yunxiao Tianzun was no match for him and could only roll his eyes and say, "Master, I'm not a little girl anymore. I'm thousands of years old."
Patriarch Tongtian nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, little Yunxiao has already been thousands of years old in the blink of an eye. She has grown up and can get married."
The master never stops telling jokes.
Yunxiao Tianzun was speechless.
Chen Jiu was stunned when he saw this.
He really didn't expect that one of the two giants in the legendary divine world would actually like to joke with his apprentice so much.
Seeing this, Patriarch Tongtian smiled and said, "My friend, I will accept this gift. I happen to have many disciples and followers, and a large number of human and monster tribes under my command. I don't usually have anything good to show off. These are good things that can enhance your cultivation. I can finally be generous for once.
My friend, please stop standing there. Please take a seat. There is no need to follow the conventional etiquette here."
After saying that, he simply raised his hand and collected all the jade bottles and jade boxes.
This old man Tongtian really speaks a bit like a demon. He is not pretentious at all and speaks directly. It seems that he is easy to deal with.
Chen Jiu sat down cross-legged on the futon beside him, and then asked solemnly: "Ancestor, what do you think of this war in the God Realm?"
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Tongtian said solemnly, "Hong Meng is too ambitious. He is not satisfied with just holding the Divine Seal, and he also wants to open up the Divine Realm and bully everyone. I think he will eventually perish if he does too much evil. This time, he will most likely be defeated by you, my friend."
Do you think so highly of me?
Chen Jiu was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Grandmaster, how do you think we should fight this battle?"
Tongtian Patriarch sighed slightly and said, “My friend, I believe you have seen that we are not the kind of ambitious people, and this divine war is really not our specialty.
I don't want to fight with Hong Meng, and I don't want to argue with him, but he forces me again and again. Last time, he even let Chi Lian and Wen Cheng Guangde use the Fan Tian Seal to attack Yun Xiao and the others. I really can't stand this, so I have been looking for someone who can deal with this guy.
My dear friend, you have truly impressed me over the years. I have seen your character, your abilities, and your performance in every battle with the Hongmeng Sect. I think you are the one I am looking for, so I have sent all the disciples I can to you.
You don't need to ask me how to fight, you can fight however you want, Aoki also means the same thing, we will just leave it to you."
My God, you actually let me be the one to make the decision in this war between the gods!
It seems that Patriarch Tongtian felt that he was no match for Patriarch Hongmeng, and after repeated defeats, he came up with the idea of training a powerful character to fight against Patriarch Hongmeng.
And it just so happened that he caught the eye of Patriarch Tongtian because he was against the Hongmeng Sect. Moreover, his performance along the way was quite good. Patriarch Tongtian was becoming more and more satisfied with him, so he sent more and more disciples to him. Until now, all the disciples who could be sent to him have been sent to him.
To be honest, if it weren't for the help of Patriarch Tongtian , he would most likely have been killed by the Hongmeng Sect. It would have been impossible for him to develop to where he is today, and it would have been even more impossible for him to repeatedly defeat the Hongmeng Sect army.
Patriarch Tongtian supported him because he saw his abilities. This unremitting support was equivalent to saving his life.
Chen Jiu couldn't help but said solemnly: "Thank you for your respect, Old Ancestor. I will definitely not let you down this time."
Tongtian Patriarch couldn't help but said with a look of relief: "Okay, I knew you could do it, just go all out and fight them. If they want to bully the weak and personally take action against you, Qingmu and I will definitely not stand idly by."
To be honest, the only thing he is worried about now is that Patriarch Hongmeng will not abide by the ethics of martial arts and will personally take action to deal with him.
He felt relieved when Patriarch Tongtian heard what he said. They had been able to fight against the Hongmeng Sect for such a long time, and every time it was Patriarch Hongmeng who invited other ancestors to help deal with Patriarch Tongtian. Yet, Patriarch Tongtian could still maintain his strength as the second in the God Realm. This proved that Patriarch Tongtian's magical powers were extraordinary.
At least it will be no problem for him to withstand the Hongmeng Ancestor.
Chen Jiu nodded slowly, and then said solemnly: "Old Ancestor, you also know that I am training the God Realm Legion. The God Realm Legion needs to be equipped with quite a lot of artifacts. I can't get all the artifacts you want for a while. Maybe I can only get one or two thousand sets every month to give to you. Can you wait for two or three years?"
Patriarch Tongtian said without hesitation: "These are all trivial matters. You also know that the few troops under my command are of little use. We may be able to defend Dongsheng Shenzhou, but we really cannot send a large number of troops to fight against Hongmeng Sect. Now only you have a large number of troops, so you should naturally come to your side first.
It’s okay for me to wait, just tell me what you need and I’ll see if I can think of a solution for you.”
What am I missing?
It seems that I am just lacking a master at the Tianzun level. The problem is, you have sent all the disciples you can to me.
Chen Jiu thought about it carefully, and then said bluntly: "Ancestor, I can actually speed up the refining of the artifact, but I can't find any fire-attributed treasures, so I'm a bit stuck. If there are enough fire-attributed treasures, the artifacts on both sides will definitely be equipped faster."
This question.
Patriarch Tongtian nodded slowly and said, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll see if I can find it."
After saying that, he simply closed his eyes and expanded his spiritual awareness.
My god, so strong!
Before Patriarch Tongtian expanded his spiritual sense, he didn't know how powerful the other person's soul was. Once his spiritual sense was expanded, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Other people's spiritual awareness is actually much stronger than his!
This Patriarch Tongtian is indeed worthy of being one of the two great giants in the divine world.
Chen Jiu was in a daze when suddenly a heat wave surged in the hall.
When he looked up, he was stunned. Patriarch Tongtian had actually dug out a huge piece of earth flint from the lava from somewhere. The earth flint was still bright red and emitting flames!
Tongtian Patriarch said solemnly: "Can this be used?"
Chen Jiu nodded repeatedly and said, "It can be used."
Tongtian Patriarch asked again : "Is this big piece enough? If not, I will go find another one for you. But you will have to wait. I have searched all the lava within a radius of ten thousand miles."
This piece is more than twice as big as the one they bought last time, and is enough to be used to refine more than 20,000 magic alchemy furnaces.
More than 20,000 magic alchemy furnaces are enough to refine 60,000 to 70,000 magical artifacts in a month. They may not have so many god-level artifact refiners at the moment.
Chen Jiu waved his hands and said: "Ancestor, there is no need to look for it. This piece is enough. Thank you very much, Ancestor."
Tongtian Patriarch smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing, it's just a piece of cake."
