Chapter 214: On this journey to Penglai to become an immortal, I will slay all the demons under heav
The riverbed froze and then thawed, and little ducks were already swimming on the lake surface.
It's spring again.
Amidst the swirling green mountains and misty clouds, towering peaks are hidden among them.
A bamboo grove sprouts new shoots in the spring breeze, and in the deep pool behind the grove, a figure resembling a young boy sits cross-legged at the bottom of the pool.
After a long while, with a surge of energy, Anran leaped up from the bottom of the pool.
"Phew—, I've finally broken through!" He clenched his fist, his internal energy and blood had reached the essence and blood realm.
Such speed is quite impressive even within the Qingdan Immortal Sect.
"Although I have improved rapidly in the sixth level of Body Refinement, I always felt that I lacked foundation in Qi and blood when I broke through to the second level of Spirit Heaven in my previous life. Now that I have a second chance in this life, I have plenty of time! I can't rush it, I must lay a solid foundation in Body Refinement."
The shadows of the bamboo grove swayed, and Anran frowned, analyzing her own cultivation.
giggle-
Suddenly, a pigeon landed on a small bamboo hut.
"A letter from my fellow disciple, the Tibetan?"
Anran stepped forward and removed the letter tied to the pigeon's leg.
"Divine light has appeared near Penglai Immortal City; could it be the appearance of a celestial treasure?"
After reading the letter, An Ran's expression changed slightly.
"The divine light of Penglai Immortal City... could it be that thing?" A thought suddenly occurred to him.
Before the first major naval war broke out in my previous life, a chaotic battle occurred in Penglai Immortal City. That battle involved most of the sects and families in the Taihu Lake Region, including the three major sects such as the Qingdan Immortal Sect.
There are even traces of forces operating in the outer seas.
In his previous life, he was busy completing missions to stay in the Qingdan Immortal Sect and didn't pay much attention to this matter. He only heard about it later, on his journey out of the Taihu Lake Region, from a fellow Daoist who had experienced the chaos of war.
An Ran's expression changed several times, and her tone became somewhat unpleasant: "If the information from my previous life is correct, this divine light is not some rare and precious object of heaven and earth appearing at all, but a complete trap."
It was this very thing that escaped that sparked the first major naval battle.
His mind raced as he considered what benefits he could gain from it.
"Damn it, I can't stop it now..."
......
Penglai Immortal City is a paradise for independent cultivators in the Taihu Lake region, where countless independent cultivators have made their homes.
There is no oppression from the three major sects here, and all the rules are free. As long as you are strong, you can get preferential treatment from the rules.
On this day, a woman wearing a bamboo hat arrived outside Penglai Immortal City.
"This is Penglai Immortal City? It's truly magnificent!"
This place is right at the entrance to the city, and people come and go in an endless stream.
Many people, like the woman, stopped to watch, overwhelmed by the magnificence of Penglai Immortal City and unable to move.
A gentle breeze carrying the scent of spring swept by, and some passersby were momentarily stunned when they saw the woman's face through the veil lifted by the wind.
However, after sensing the woman's presence, his desire to approach her vanished.
Chu Qingcheng paused for a moment, tightened her grip on the long sword, and strode towards the city gate.
......
At the same time, a huge airship slowly docked at the airship field north of Luhua City.
The airship was enormous, exceeding a kilometer in length, with dozens of levels and a vast deck area. Its exquisite and luxurious decorations were captivating at first glance.
Zhang Ping stood relaxed on the flying boat, waving to An Ruxue and the others below.
"Young Master Zhang! Will you ever return to Luhua City?"
An Ruxue tried hard to control the tears welling up in her eyes, not wanting anyone else to notice. But her voice was still a little hoarse.
Upon learning that Zhang Ping was leaving, An Ruxue's first thought was to go with him.
But how could she go? In what capacity could she go?
She is a young lady from the An family, already married, and her child has joined the Qingdan Immortal Sect. If her affair with Zhang Ping is exposed, it will inevitably bring a bad reputation to her child.
An Ruxue thought a lot, but the large group of people behind her didn't care so much.
The group consisted of over a hundred women, all young ladies and wives from various wealthy families in Luhua City. Every single one of them was wiping away tears with a silk handkerchief, crying out for Zhang Ping to take them away.
I'd be willing to be a maid! As long as I can warm your bed.
Zhang Ping was naturally unwilling.
Standing against the railing, facing the wind, his long, black hair danced behind him. His high, straight nose looked striking in the sunlight. Zhang Ping smiled and waved to a group of people standing on the other side.
There were both men and women, all friends from the city and members of the ordinary winery, with the women making up the majority of the group.
"I'll bring you over once the sect is established!"
The airship trembled and slowly lifted off the ground.
In Zhang Ping's eyes, Luhua City was getting smaller and smaller.
"Fellow Daoists, welcome aboard Flying Pavilion Flying Ship No. 103. Captain Inkfish will escort you on this voyage."
"The journey is long, please take a rest. Next stop, Lion City."
"The final destination of this trip is Penglai Immortal City."
A flying boat rises with the wind in a single day, soaring straight up ninety thousand miles.
Traveling through mountains and rivers to Qiongzhou, a journey of thousands of miles to our homeland and a deep connection to it.
Zhang Ping hadn't expected that the airship would only fly at a height of a few hundred meters, allowing him to clearly see the human landscape below.
Move a chair over and lie on the deck, where you can take in the entire view of the scenery along the way.
"Where are you headed, bro?"
Zhang Ping used the half-eaten watermelon lid to cover his face to shield himself from the sun. The guy on his right got interested and started chatting with Zhang Ping.
Zhang Ping had long since gotten used to being called "little brother" so many times.
Remove the watermelon lid from your face and look to the side. The guy next to you is a burly middle-aged man with a wheatish complexion and clearly defined, bulging muscles.
He held a beautiful woman in each of his left and right arms.
Zhang Ping remained unmoved and casually replied, "I'm going to Penglai to become an immortal, intending to slay all the demons and beasts in the world. Where are you headed, brother?"
Yue Shan was taken aback by Zhang Ping's answer, and suppressed a laugh as he said:
"Brother, you speak in such a refined and scholarly manner, it sounds quite impressive."
Another young master on the next recliner burst out laughing: "Hahaha! What a boastful statement! To go to Penglai and become an immortal, slaying all the demons and beasts under heaven! Good! Good indeed!"
With a snap, the young master opened his fan, revealing the words: Third in the World.
Four characters.
When Yue Shan saw these four big characters, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"You think you're the third best in the world with that small frame?"
The young master remained silent, smiling as he turned his fan around. The back read: "Handsome Brother."
Yue Shan: "..."
Zhang Ping's lips twitched, and he silently put the watermelon lid back on.
Watermelon, watermelon, just as I wish, drive away my silliness.
The young master, however, was a talkative fellow; he claimed to be from the Zhang family of Dongfang Haiyuan.
His name consists of only the character "帅" (shuai, meaning handsome/beautiful).
Starting from the abyss, after four journeys by flying boat, he was heading to the Penglai Plain to visit his fiancée's family.
It was also to see what his fiancée, whom he had never met before, looked like.
Upon hearing that Zhang Shuai came from the Zhang family of Haiyuan, Yue Shan's expression straightened slightly.
"Could it be the Zhang family, one of the four great demon-slaying families of the Sea Abyss?"
