Chapter 235 - 235: 8: Spiritual Mountains and Blessed Land

Upon closer inspection, it was a beautifully carved, expansive spiritual ship.

Zhao Huai and Elder Liu Gongren of Spiritual Elephant Sect stood side by side on the ship’s deck, overlooking the flowing cloud and mountains.

“Elder Liu, people say that Spiritual Mountains are hard to find. Do the

Spiritual Mountains have any methods to prevent themselves from being discovered?”

While gazing at the vast mountains, Zhao Huai couldn’t help but ask the question.

Liu Gongren nodded in agreement, saying, “True. As common knowledge, the Spiritual Mountains were a place of ascension 800 years ago. Since then, they have become a famous Blessed Land in the world. The place has a large formation left from the Ancient Period, which is why the outside world can’t detect it. It is almost cut off from the world.”

“If we trace back even earlier, the Spiritual Mountains in Ancient Times were the Daoist practice ground of an immortal lord. The concept of the practice grounds was popular in the age of immortals. An immortal lived and dwelt in such a place, and even a regular book or a leaf here would be imbued with immortal essence. They are beneficial for ordinary cultivators. Not to mention the lord of these grounds was a top existence among immortals.”

Liu Gongren paused tor a moment, then sighed,

“Unfortunately, according to the records, this lord perished in The Great Chaos of the Ancient Period, and the practice ground was also destroyed. After The Great Chaos, some influences tried to occupy this practice ground. Although only one-tenth of the things in the ground remained, it was still a treasure trove of an immortal and a holy place for cultivation. With more people residing here, it gradually became the Ascension Land chosen by numerous cultivators and the Mighty.”

“In just a few thousand years, the immortal path was severed, but there were still countless treasures left inside from the Ancient Period, even immortal medicines and some important inheritances. After hundreds of years of development, the place became the territory of all major Immortal Sects.” “So, there’s such a complex background behind the Spiritual Mountains.”

It felt like listening to a story for Zhao Huai, who had just been informed by Elder Liu about the introduction of the Spiritual Mountains.

He couldn’t help but feel a surge of anticipation, wanting to see for himself what this legendary Ascension Land looked like.

The rest of the time, Zhao Huai had nothing to do on the spiritual ship but sit down to meditate and cultivate in silence.

The spiritual ship passed through the clouds and entered a grand mountain range.

One hundred thousand mountains shielded the sky, and the fairyland was shrouded in mist.

“Royal Crown Prince, we have arrived at the Spiritual Mountains,” Liu Gongren reminded Zhao Huai from the side.

“Finally.”

Zhao Huai opened his eyes, stood up, and looked into the distance at the closely packed one hundred thousand mountains.

At a glance, the mist-covered mountains appeared serene and silent, as if nothing was there at all.

“I don’t see the Immortal Sects’ presence,” Zhao Huai said.

“What’s ahead is Longquan Gate, one of the mountain gates. After passing the gate and the formation, you will have entered the Spiritual Mountains. There are many entrances to the Spiritual Mountains, but only ten are commonly used,” Liu Gongren explained.

Zhao Huai nodded.

The spiritual ship passed through the immortal mist, and Liu Gongren took out a jade token and shined it ahead.

In an instant, a boundless formation emerged, covering the one hundred thousand mountains like a colossal bowl.

The formation opened a passage for the spiritual ship to enter smoothly.

Only then did Zhao Huai catch a glimpse of the true appearance of the Spiritual Mountains.

The first impression was vastness.

The expanse was endless.

Countless towering mountains pierced through the clouds and mists.

Some of the peaks were covered with dazzling flowers emitting a strong spiritual qi, and people lived in many of the others, building numerous palaces. Some peaks were hidden in the mist, seemingly not wanting to be seen.

Many mountains had waterfalls cascading from their peaks, forming countless thousand-feet-high waterfalls that resembled numerous jade dragons.

The sky was clear and blue, like blue crystal, always free of dark clouds, and under the gentle and bright sunlight, everything looked spotless.

Some of the peaks were entwined with ancient trees, and their branches and leaves were twisted and entangled, revealing an ancient and mystical atmosphere.

Moreover, at the deepest parts of the mountain, amidst the drifting mists, there were faintly visible hovering cities, like mirages floating in the air. It couldn’t help but make one believe it was a fairyland on earth.

Zhao Huai’s Divine Insight spread, and he was instantly struck by the fairyland-like scene, dumbfounded.

Is this the Spiritual Mountains?

The Ascension Land of eight hundred years ago.

Today, I have truly expanded my horizons.

“Yanwuu!”

From time to time, the cries of Fairy Cranes echoed through the mountains.

The Fairy Cranes were exceptionally elegant, with bright eyes and red heads. They were large enough to carry at least three people.

The Immortal Sect disciples sat on the backs of the Fairy Cranes, looking curiously at Zhao Huai.

Because Zhao Huai and his party had obviously just entered from the outside.

Many Immortal Sect disciples had secluded themselves since childhood and seldom left the mountains, so they were curious about the outside world.

As long as someone entered, it would catch their attention.

After a while, a turquoise streak of light flew from the horizon, descending from the sky, and landed in front of Zhao Huai and Liu Gongren.

Among the colorful clouds, seven young and beautiful women, dressed in various colored clothes, walked out. They were not just for show — their auras were quite powerful, and none of them were weak.

Zhao Huai glanced at the seven women and noticed that a few of them had golden auras.

Clearly, they were Immortal Sect disciples with Immortal Destiny.

Additionally, their cultivation levels were not low — two Golden Cores and five at the peak of Initiation Stage.

Zhao Huai couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.

In the Mortal World, the Initiation Realm cultivators were extremely rare, and Golden Core Realm cultivators were almost never seen.

Yet, he saw seven of them here..
