The Juntian Pot passed through the Netherworld and appeared in the South China Sea in the blink of an eye. This was the first time that Fang Xiu entered the Mountain and Sea Realm after breaking into the Gate of Gods and Demons. Before that, he either stayed in the Heaven Realm or in the underworld, and finally stayed in the Youdu Fairy Island to consolidate his realm.
When Fang Xiu passed by Haiyuan, he stayed in the sky above Nanhua Fairy Island for a while.
Although the Nanhua Fairy Island is located in the abyss of the South China Sea, it is actually not within the mountains and sea. It is an independent world, but it is connected to the mountains and sea. It is an extremely mysterious spiritual paradise.
Only with the permission of Nanhua Zhenjun can one find the entrance to the Nanhua Fairy Island. Otherwise, even if one searches the entire South China Sea Abyss, one will not be able to find the location of the fairy island.
However, Fang Xiu saw the location of the fairy island at a glance. The originally empty and desolate island had now turned into a blessed land filled with fairy air and groups of spiritual beasts.
The waterfalls form a water vein, and cranes and golden carp shuttle between the waterfalls and the mountains and forests. All of them are cultivators, flying across the sky in groups of three or five, or playing chess under two people under the spiritual trees. Under the tall spiritual root trees, there is a newly renovated Taoist temple, where groups of people sit together to discuss Taoism and preach the scriptures, as if it has really become a place for immortals overseas.
Fang Xiu immediately became interested and wanted to see what the splendor of this paradise for overseas cultivators was like. The so-called Nanhua Zhenjun Gai Cang was truly devoted to seeking the Tao, so why did he gather so many cultivators here to discuss the Tao? Or did he have other intentions
Fang Xiu immediately turned into an ordinary Taoist and sat at the end of the Taoist Palace. These cultivators with supernatural powers did not notice him and quietly
There is one more person.
It fell on a cushion made of Lingji Pu. It is said that this spiritual grass has its own spiritual charm and can improve the efficiency of meditation and visualization, so it is mostly used to make cushions.
The Taoist palace of Nanhua Zhenjun Gaicang is not gorgeous, but looks simple, full of the style of a school. Perhaps it is because Nanhua Zhenjun Gaicang spent his childhood in the Shangxian Academy in Gaoyang, the former capital of Gao State, which left a deep influence on him.
But upon closer inspection, one discovers that the entire Taoist palace is made entirely of immaculate stone. It is tall and majestic, with numerous murals inside, all of which are depictions of immortals or ancient legends.
When Fang Xiu took a closer look, he could actually see Emperor Longqiu leading millions of ghost soldiers and generals across the sky, a Taoist priest riding a dragon horse in the river, and the scenery of the Moonset Ruins and the Nether Capital City.
Nanhua Zhenjun was sitting cross-legged at the very front, and he did not seem too high and mighty. He was also sitting cross-legged on a cushion. Opposite him was a Taoist who had only the cultivation level of the third-level Dan realm. However, he sat and discussed Taoism with Nanhua Zhenjun, raised questions, and both sides argued. Such scenes can often be seen in the Nanhua Fairy Island.
There is a scroll hanging at the highest point, which shows a giant Kun leaping out of the sea and soaring with its wings spread.
However, the upper part of the Kun began to sprout feathers, and feathers evolved little by little, and it actually wanted to transform into a huge divine bird. The sea roared and the waves rose to the sky.
When Fang Xiu saw it, a smile appeared on his face. He didn't expect that this Nanhua Zhenjun Gai Cang had such a deep impression of the giant Kun in the past, and even imagined the scene of the giant Kun turning into a Peng.
Nanhua Zhenjun Gai Cang wears a purple robe. He has a handsome face but a somewhat cold expression, making him look a little superior. He doesn't talk much on weekdays, but his way of dealing with people is quite recognized among the cultivators.
At this moment, he explained in detail: "The mountains and rivers have their own veins. Mountains have dragon veins, rivers have water veins, and the world is so big that there are various kinds of spiritual veins. However, the ones commonly seen in the mountains and seas are just ordinary spiritual veins..."
"But what I know is not all. Moreover, there are huge differences between the spiritual veins in ancient times and those today. So if you want to truly know how many types of earth and water veins there are in the world, someone needs to travel all over the mountains and seas to draw a map of the spiritual veins of mountains and rivers before you can know."
As he spoke, clouds appeared as he waved his hands. The clouds formed into mountains and then condensed into rivers, forming a piece of land. Spiritual light shuttled through it, representing the flow of the earth's veins.
This truth was vividly presented before everyone's eyes, making people fascinated by it.
"In the future, when we travel the three mountains, five peaks and four seas, we will definitely identify the differences in the spiritual veins of the mountains, rivers and streams in this world one by one."
"Determining the spiritual veins of mountains, seas and rivers is a great merit!"
Everyone was discussing privately, but their voices were not loud.
At this moment, the monk opposite asked: "What about the sea?"
"There are also spiritual veins on the seabed, and many islands are where the spiritual eyes of the spiritual veins in the sea gather."
Nanhua Zhenjun Gai Cang said loudly: "The richness of these four seas and the abundance of spiritual energy are known to the world. Billions of creatures live in them, but why are they so rich? It is because there are also spiritual veins in the seas, and the vitality brought by them has given birth to so many creatures and spiritual objects."
Someone asked, "Nanhua Zhenjun once said that the so-called earth cultivation is to connect to the veins of the earth. If you lift the earth and ascend to the heavenly realm of the stars, you will become an earth immortal. However, if you want to refine and control the earth veins, you must have spiritual roots. How many kinds of spiritual roots are there in the world?"
Nanhua Zhenjun Gai Cang made almost no secret of the peculiarities of earth cultivation, but those powerful beings who entered Nanhua Fairy Island could almost see through it, and he would not easily announce the methods of cultivation. Knowing what earth immortals are is one thing, but knowing how to practice is another.
Therefore, at present, the only one who can truly be called an earth cultivator and has received the inheritance of an earth immortal is Nanhua Zhenjun Gai Cang.
Nanhua Zhenjun Gai Cang thought for a while, and the spiritual roots in this world are not a secret: "At present, as far as I know, the only spiritual roots that can be called sacred trees are the spiritual root vine, Fusang, Jianmu, Spring and Autumn Tree, Pantao Tree, Bodhi Tree..."
During the period, people kept asking questions. After Nanhua Zhenjun gave his lecture, several other people came on stage. The whole process looked quite similar to the debate style of the academy in the past.
Fang Xiu watched for a while and felt that this Nanhua Zhenjun really had the style of an ancient immortal. Under his leadership, perhaps a place for spiritual practice could really be formed outside the South China Sea.
In the future, there may be more and more traces of independent cultivators appearing on islands. Overseas, with the Dragon Palace and the Mermaid Kingdom, they will become more and more lively and will no longer be as deserted as they are now.
He nodded with satisfaction, then turned into wind and left.
Nanhua Zhenjun Gai Cang, who was sitting at the top, seemed to suddenly feel something at this time. He raised his head and looked towards the last seat, but saw nothing.
While Fang Xiu was on his way, he found a peak-level third-order crane on an island in the abyss of the South China Sea. This was rare in the sea, or there were not many such cranes in Dongzhou. At the peak of the third order, if it took one more step, it would be able to transform into a human form, which was called a celestial demon.
However, facing an existence like Fang Xiu, the crane didn't even have the ability to resist. It saw the Juntian Pot grab it and caught it. It couldn't even run away. As a spiritual bird, it could not even release the escape light that far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators and demons.
Fang Xiu caught it and used it as a mount, which was just right for him to use to cross mountains and seas. Sitting on it, he could also better enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sea along the way.
Riding a crane through the clouds, listening to the crane's cry and the sound of the wind, with the endless sea beneath your feet, makes you feel the carefree comfort of an immortal.
Fang Xiu rode a crane and traveled all the way across the South China Sea. Before he knew it, he arrived at the country of the mermaids.
The last time Fang Xiu passed through the South China Sea was nearly two hundred years ago, and his entry into the Longxiao Palace in the mermaid country dates back to the early days of Dahuan.
Fang Xiu was passing by this place on a crane, rushing thousands of miles into the distance, when he was discovered by the water monster soldiers from the Mermaid Kingdom. After all, it would be hard for a Taoist to escape being discovered while riding on such a huge monster bird through the sky.
No one dared to easily stop such beings above level four from passing through the South China Sea. Moreover, due to the fight between the Mermaid Kingdom and the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, every time such a being passed through the South China Sea, the Longxiao Palace had to be notified.
The Longxiao Guards of the Mermaid Kingdom were immediately aware of the image of the Taoist passing through the sky. The Queen of the Mermaid Kingdom in the underwater palace naturally also knew that the legendary Fengdu Taoist had passed through the territory of the Mermaid Kingdom in the South China Sea.
The Queen of the Mermaid Kingdom in the Longxiao Palace turned into light and came out from the palace, chasing after the Taoist figure riding a crane in the distance.
A golden shadow passed across the sea, and the entire ocean was rolled up with waves and spray, following the ocean current at an incredibly fast speed towards the distance.
