Chapter 474: Stirring Up A Storm

Among the azure sea was an island with immortal fog rising. There were all kinds of strange and alien flowers and grasses with no known names on the island. The immortal deer, white cranes and the spirit monkeys could be found everywhere. Airborne creatures rushed across the sky in droves while the four-footed beasts cavorted on the ground.

Although Chen Jin, Guo Yan, and Mu Yunhua had seen the drawings brought back by the robots, and were mentally prepared for the sights, he was still shocked by the scene that he beheld.

He looked up and saw a giant waterfall. The spiritual energy had condensed into water, and water had evaporated into water vapor. Below the waterfall was a mass of haze. The concentration of the spiritual energy here had reached a shocking level. He felt that he was about to float away to the heavens with every breath that was taken here.

When the two women looked at this scene, they were stunned yet elated. So the immortal land of legends looked like this. What was described in the books was true.

As Chen Jin looked at how happy they were, he bowed his head and sighed. In his heart, he felt very worried. As the saying went, “A remarkable place produces outstanding people.” This place had great Fengshui, which would certainly bring lots of fortune and luck. What kind of people would such a place foster? But in any case, there was no way he could resist anyone from this place with the way he currently was.

He told Guo Yan and Mu Yunhua what was in his mind, and they reacted in an instant. They couldn’t help but worry.

Although Nuwa said that the danger level was a C-class. To be completely safe, Chen Jin still sent the two women back and explored the environment alone first.

Chen Jin followed the waterfall to go upstream and trace the source. He did not know whether to laugh or cry when he was followed by a group of monkeys. The monkeys chattered and yelled as they swung between the branches. They were not even a little bit slower than him. He looked just like a monkey king.

Having said that, at this point, Chen Jin found that his strength had greatly deteriorated. The speed of his movement here was more than a little slower compared to what he was capable of in the other universe.

This was because the laws of this world were more complete, they were more secure and powerful. But of course, he did not know this and did not think too much about it.

The trees here were so high that they blotted out the sky and blocked his line of sight. Chen Jin did not know where to go.

So, he followed the river and walked in the opposite direction of the river flow. It would be easy to return too.

And as he walked along the river, a monkey followed him. It was a golden little monkey with a very bright coat. Its fur was just like a brocade. It grabbed at his clothes from behind and then quickly retracted its paws or it would throw small stones at him. It had a pair of dark brown, watery eyes and it watched him like he was the monkey.

Chen Jin cursed the monkey and his mother. He couldn’t stand it anymore and rushed towards the monkey all of a sudden.

The monkey shouted, climbed up a tree, and shuttled itself back and forth between the branches. It followed behind Chen Jin. It also attracted other monkeys, more and more monkeys joined its group. The numbers kept increasing, and the sight was as magnificent as a wildebeest migration.

No other creatures could stop the monkeys, other animals stepped aside. Among those creatures, there were many ferocious animals, including tigers and leopard-like beasts. There were also some strange beasts that he had never seen before, and even some sinister and vicious-looking beasts.

But he did not see a person during his journey.

And just like this, with the monkeys following, he arrived at a towering and majestic palace. It would be more appropriate to describe it as a group of palaces. Large and small palaces were built on the hills in a picturesque disorder. Clouds and mists curled up around them like they were like palaces of the Heavens.

Chen Jin stopped to wait and see. Erm, he was hiding behind a boulder and peeking around it. He sighed, deeply moved by the scenery. But not a moment later, the group of monkeys caught up from behind.

They faced him, baring their fangs and brandishing claws. Their chattering voices were ear-piercing and noisy. They then picked up small stones and threw them at him, especially the little golden monkey.

Chen Jin’s heart raced, he had no choice but to rush into the palace to escape.

The monkeys outside amused themselves and played around for a while, then they scattered and dispersed into the woods. Only the little golden monkey followed on the heels of Chen Jin into the palace. It did not forget to grab a handful of small stones.

Upon entering the palace, Chen Jin’s sight was flooded with an array of ancient weapons displayed on a wall. There were more than a thousand objects–swords, spears, two-edged swords, and halberds, as well as the classic 18 classes of weapons–every variety of ancient weapon was present. Chen Jin picked a knife at random and found that he could not move it. He tried several pieces besides the knife and found that he could not move any of them either.

He tried picking up more than a hundred pieces before he finally lifted one.

It was a sword about a meter long and its entire body was a light blue-green shade. The hilt was carved with a common engraving of clouds, and the edge of the blade was suffused with a dim and cold light. He could not tell what material was the sword made from. He took this sword with him because he was too lazy to try picking up another weapon.

In another place; inside the Imperial Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty, the Emperor of the Wei State knelt deferentially in front of a middle-aged man and said, “Ancestor, there were violent transmissive fluctuations in a forest in the west of the empire. Your child guesses that such a huge sign of activity should be fluctuations coming from the transmission array connected to that little spiritual world that we’ve abandoned, so I quickly reported this to our Ancestor. Because of this, I’ve disturbed the Ancestor’s cultivation, I ask for your punishment.”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man couldn’t help as a bright gleam flashed across his eyes.

He turned around and murmured to himself, “Perhaps the spiritual energy of the subordinate’s little spiritual world has revived, and the cultivators from the mortal world are relying on the transmission array to lift themselves heavenwards to the world of immortals? Interesting, interesting.

Then, the middle-aged man soared into the sky, the harnessed light that he rode on flashed by, leaving only a voice which fell onto the emperor’s ears, ” Continue your investigations from here, I’ll go on a trip outside. A conservative estimation will see me away for a few decades, a more generous estimation, a hundred years. Report to me when I’m back.”

When the emperor heard this sentence, in his heart, he couldn’t help but feel the cold sweat running down his loosened back.

The man in front of him was not an ordinary person. He was the ancestor of the royal family of the great Wei Dynasty. Leaving aside the fact that he was a cultivator who had attained the pinnacle of a highly respected immortal, and just focusing on the fact that he came to this continent more than 30,000 years ago and killed every single member of the royal family so that his descendants could become the royal family of the country, even when his country underwent great changes, the Wu and Shu states did not dare to invade them – solely because of the Ancestor. Although he did not kill as much in the latter days as he did at the beginning where he killed people whenever they disobeyed him, at least 30% of his descendant emperors were killed by him. So this was a good thing too, that the devil was gone. At least he could live for another hundred years. At this thought, the Wei emperor stood up here, “Men, send out the Eagle Guard (similar to the Mianyi Guard), they must investigate this matter thoroughly.”

At the same time, the cabinet of the Wu state was also discussing this matter. “I heard that there was a violent fluctuation, suspected to be related to movement between two worlds, originating from an abandoned transmission array located in the common border between the Wei and our state. Is there really such an incident?” Zhang Jin said.

“Replying to your question, Cabinet Elder Zhang, indeed, there has been such an incident. But the spiritual energy in that world has long been exhausted. It is impossible for cultivators to arise over there or to activate the array. So this humble official speculates that it’s probably a powerful cultivator who had crossed the boundaries between worlds and the broken channel happened to be where he arrived. The transmission array may not have been activated,” a young member said solemnly. Zhang Jin looked at him, and then he looked at the officials, “What do you think?”

“Cabinet Elder Zhang, according to the opinion of this humble official, rather than discussing this matter, why don’t we send a messenger to the Wei capital and ask their emperor about this, at the same time, we’ll send a scout to the area in question to check things out. After all, the ownership of a small spiritual world can change many situations. The strength and great potential of a cultivator who has flown up to the Heavens are awe-inspiring. This continent has not seen a cultivator taking to the Heavens for many years. If it is really a cultivator bound for the Heavens, our state of Wu must find that cultivator and gain control of the transmission array,” Shi Mengkui finished speaking.

Zhang Jin’s voice rang out, “Lord Shi’s suggestion is reasonable and I think it is feasible. Let’s start voting now. I vote in approval.”

“I approve”

“I approve”

“I approve”

…

“All right, this suggestion will be adopted.”
