Chapter 354: Chapter 167 Xunwang Heaven (Subscribe requested)
"I am Zhao Tianhe, a fortune teller, here for one purpose—to invite you to join ’Xunwang Heaven’!"
Zhao Tianhe spoke earnestly, especially when he mentioned the three words, "Xunwang Heaven," his expression grew serious.
At first glance, his posture was much straighter, and he no longer resembled the mercenary and mysteriously pretentious Daoist seen outside the ’Eastern Emperor Palace’ secret realm.
"Xunwang Heaven?"
Chen Yi silently pondered these three words.
As far as he could remember, he had never heard of this name.
’Xun’ represents wind, symbolizing "everlasting wind that permeates everywhere" in the Taixu Eight Skills.
’Wang’ means ’forget.’
’Tian’—does it refer to ’all under heaven’ or ’the great Dao as heaven’?
Chen Yi felt that "Xunwang Heaven" sounded less like an organization and more like a mysterious realm in a foreign land.
After a moment of thought.
Chen Yi looked straight at the fortune teller and asked, "Could Daoist give some explanation about this ’Xunwang Heaven’?"
Considering the Immortal Peach and the fine wine, he did not reject the proposition immediately.
Zhao Tianhe stroked his beard and nodded: "Naturally, perhaps you have heard of ’Taizhou Mountain’?"
Chen Yi raised an eyebrow, "Are you suggesting that ’Xunwang Heaven’ is located at the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield?"
"Battlefield?" Zhao Tianhe’s pale face revealed a smile as he shook his head, "Taizhou Mountain is no battlefield."
"Oh?"
"To call it a ’battlefield’ is only because the Human Race and the demons of the Tianyuan Continent discovered it too late and did not explore it sufficiently."
Chen Yi was secretly alarmed.
If he remembered correctly, previously Li Qingzhou mentioned that the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield was discovered by the Human Race at the end of the Dark Era.
It has been over a thousand years since that time.
Is that considered "late"?
And the phrase "exploration is not sufficient" implied that the Wei Dynasty and the Demon Court haven’t fully explored Taizhou Mountain yet...
Realizing his interest, Zhao Tianhe smilingly explained:
"Places like the ’Netherworld River’ and ’Heaven and Earth Bridge,’ which are beyond human reach and full of Divine Intent, truly constitute the core of Taizhou Mountain."
"However..."
Then, with a broad wave of Zhao Tianhe’s hand, the surrounding scenery underwent a sudden transformation.
In the next moment, they found themselves in a dimly lit starry space—the complete vista of the Tianyuan Continent unfolded before them like a real-world exploratory regional map.
Chen Yi was astounded as he looked around.
The seventeen prefectures of the Wei Dynasty, the Ten Thousand Mountains outside Beixiong Pass, the East Continent Islands, the West Continent Buddha Country, and the Southern Barbarian Land, among others.
Outside these were vast boundless oceans and a ring of glacier-covered areas.
Zhao Tianhe pointed westward towards Luofu Mountain and stated: "This is an entrance to Taizhou Mountain."
Chen Yi couldn’t help but ask, "So, the legends are true?"
Earlier, during his trip to Hua Xianzi’s hometown Wangchuan County, she had mentioned a legend about "Luofu Mountain."
—There is a gate in the immortal mountain; passing through that gate, one can meet immortals and attain eternal life!
"If you are referring to ’Immortal Gate,’ it is somewhat similar."
"However, that place has unique geographical features and is not meant for ordinary people to use."
"Just like your Master, Li Qingzhou, and others, their path to ’Taizhou Mountain’ is here."
Zhao Tianhe’s finger moved upwards, landing on a spot northeast of Kyoto Prefecture, not far from the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Chen Yi looked and exclaimed, "Beizhi?"
Zhao Tianhe nodded, "The ’Fengyu Ferry’ in Beizhi lies on a tributary of the Netherworld River, from where taking the ferryman’s boat will directly bring you to the upper reaches of the Netherworld River."
Chen Yi looked thoughtfully at this complete view of the Tianyuan Continent and asked, "Besides these two entrances, are there other entries?"
"Of course, there are." Zhao Tianhe pointed at various locations on the map, saying, "West Continent Buddha Country has a Sky-reaching Tower, beneath which lies an entrance 5,000 feet down, directly connected to the ’Desolate Valley’ of Taizhou Mountain."
"Below the deep seas a thousand miles off Luofeng Island of East Continent lies another passageway directly connected to a tributary of the Netherworld River."
"There is also a connection in the deep of the Ten Thousand Mountain where the Demon Court is located, leading to the Phoenix Perch Cliff of Taizhou Mountain."
Pausing momentarily, Zhao Tianhe continued:
"However, except for ’Fengyu Ferry’ and the two locations in the Ten Thousand Mountains, the entrances in East Continent and West Continent are beyond ordinary people’s reach."
Chen Yi suddenly realized: "So people from the Buddha Country, East Continent, and Southern Barbarian Land all enter Taizhou Mountain from Beizhi?"
Zhao Tianhe nodded, "This is also the foundation on which the Wei Dynasty was established."
After a moment of contemplation, Chen Yi looked at him and asked, "What does telling me all this have to do with ’Xunwang Heaven’?"
"Don’t be hasty, young brother."
Saying this, Zhao Tianhe waved his hand again, and the original complete view of Tianyuan Continent with its mountains and rivers swiftly transformed, soon replaced by an entirely new continent.
No, it can’t be called a continent—it was a series of worlds stacked upon each other.
In its center was a massive mountain range and what seemed like a bridge spanning the heavens, under which a surging river flowed.
Surrounding it were worlds resembling branches, quite spectacular.
Some were full of mountain peaks, their summits as sharp as swords.
Some resembled purgatory, with volcanic rock and lava erupting everywhere.
In other worlds, there were fairy mountains and Taoist temples, amidst which he could vaguely see some gleaming lights.
Chen Yi widened his eyes slightly, a trace of shock flashing across them.
"Is this Taizhou Mountain, Heaven and Earth Bridge, Netherworld River?"
Zhao Tianhe nodded, "As you see, young brother, this indeed is the true form of Taizhou Mountain and Heaven and Earth Bridge."
"And the ’Xunwang Heaven’ where I reside is also among them, right here!"
He waved his hand, and the scene before them magnified several times, zooming in close to a world under the peaks of Taizhou Mountain.
Chen Yi looked at the place called "Xunwang Heaven," his eyes reflecting two gigantic, sky-reaching cyclones.
