Soon, after learning two songs, Qin Di bid farewell to his master, Confucius, and headed for the Central Plains' Xuanhuang Vast Starfield in search of the legendary Nine Hills.
He didn't travel with anyone because he had too many secrets that he couldn't share with others.
The distance from the Heavenly City walls to the Central Xuanhuang Area wasn't close.
Fortunately, there were teleportation formations to save time.
The first place Qin Di wanted to find was Tao Tang Hill.
The so-called Tao Tang was Yao of the Three Officials Great Emperors. In other words, Tao Tang Hill was where Emperor Yao made his fortune or settled down. It should be a sacred ground.
Because the Three Officials Great Emperors were too famous and Emperor Yao was one of the forty-nine immortal emperors in power, he had a high position and everyone respected him. No one dared to provoke him, so finding Tao Tang Hill was relatively easy.
It only took Qin Di two years to reach Tao Tang Hill.
This was a very large star. It was not occupied by the Numinous Sky Hall, and there were no signs of fighting. Whether it was the immortals or the common people, they all lived and worked in peace. It was a peaceful and quiet scene.
There were no heavenly soldiers stationed outside the Starry Gate, only a heart mirror hanging at the door.
This was a special heart mirror. No matter who it was, as long as they came outside the Starry Gate and were shone by the heart mirror, the evil in their heart would automatically be reduced by half. Moreover, if they were really evil, they wouldn't be able to withstand the heart mirror's light and would walk far away, not daring to enter the Starry Gate.
After entering the Starry Gate, Qin Di found an immortal city nearby and went down to ask around.
Someone pointed out casually: "You're asking about Tao Tang Hill? That's where Emperor Yao's immortal palace is located. There's a high hill about eighteen thousand li west from here. Go there and you'll know. "
Thus, Qin Di left the immortal city and flew west.
After flying for a while, he saw a tall hill towering in the western sky.
Nearing it, he saw a huge palace complex hidden in the green trees at the foot of the hill. Although it looked a bit old, it still had a majestic feeling.
There were many people walking around in the palace. Some were practicing swordsmanship, some were practicing boxing, and some were meditating.
However, Qin Di saw that among these people, there were only a few Jin Xian. He did not see Sengoku coming in or out, nor did he see any Immortal Emperors.
Perhaps, Emperor Yao usually did not live here.
Qin Di thought, "Even if Emperor Yao really lives here, I can't just pay him a visit. I'm just Jin Xian, an unremarkable nobody. If there's no important reason, it would be too abrupt for me to pay him a visit."
On the left side of the palace, there was a winding path, and people could be seen walking on it.
Qin Di flew over and landed on the path. He sat on the side of the road and waited.
Not long after, he saw an old man at the middle stage of Zu Xian Stage walking towards him. He approached him and struck up a conversation, "Brother, may I ask where you are going?"
The man had grey hair and a kind face. He smiled and said, "Where else can I go? Of course it's the Tao Tang Stele Forest! "
Qin Di asked, "Where is the Forest of Steles?"
The man replied, "Haha, just follow the path and you'll be able to reach it."
"Why don't you fly over?"
"Because this is the former residence of Emperor Yao. Everyone is respectful and would rather walk there on foot."
"Thank you, brother. I'll go with you to take a look."
"Alright, come with me."
Qin Di asked, "Brother, what is your surname?"
The man smiled and said, "My surname is Huang and my given name is Zhan."
Qin Di was shocked and thought, "It can't be, right? Even Huang Zhan is here? Am I dreaming? Why is this world getting more and more chaotic? What year and month has it been? "
However, after thinking about it carefully, it shouldn't be possible. The world was so big, and there were many people with the same name!
"Brother Huang, are you a local?"
Huang Zhan smiled and replied, "That's right. I was born here and have lived here for many years."
Qin Di cupped his hands and said, "This little brother comes from somewhere else. My surname is Qin and my given name is Wen. Please take care of me."
"It's easy. It's very quiet here and there's no danger. It's like you're going home. "
"Brother Huang, have you seen Emperor Yao before?"
"Well, I've only seen him a million years ago. This is only Emperor Yao's old residence. He rarely comes back. "
"I just saw a lot of people living in the immortal palace. Are they all Emperor Yao's family?"
"No, they're not. Emperor Yao opened his old residence to the public. As long as it's a passing cultivator, they can go in and stay temporarily. It's fine as long as they don't damage the palace. When he left, he left behind a few immortal stones for future repairs. I heard that the palace has accumulated a lot of immortal stones and no robbers went over to visit. "
"Hehe, maybe Emperor Yao's incarnation is hiding inside. Who would dare to do evil here? Even if there's no incarnation, with Emperor Yao's methods, he could capture that person from afar. Wouldn't he be able to kill him at will? "
As Qin Di walked, he looked at the dense forest on both sides and asked, "Brother Huang, is there anything strange about this mountain? Why is it able to give birth to a great figure like Emperor Yao? "
Huang Zhan smiled and said, "Emperor Yao wasn't born here. He only came here to cultivate after he came of age. I don't know how many years he has lived here. This mountain has a lot more trees. The branches and leaves are luxuriant and more prosperous than anywhere else. "
Qin Di asked again, "Are there immortal trees on the mountain?"
"Of course there are, but the immortal trees here are very smart. They hide in the dense forest. Even if you walk in front of them, it will be difficult to find them."
"Did you find any Builder Trees?"
"No, no! I'm not sure if there are any saplings, but there are no tall Builder Trees. "
"Then, are there any immortal stone veins on the mountain?"
"Yes! The immortal energy here is very rich. Sometimes, when walking on the road, you can kick out immortal stone raw ores with a kick. No one cares if you secretly dig a few, but it's not possible to dig on a large scale. "
"Did Emperor Yao say that digging is not allowed?"
"Emperor Yao didn't say anything? But think about it, such a world-famous great emperor not sealing the entire mountain is already merciful! As an immortal from outside, how can he have the nerve to cut off immortal veins? "
"That's right, many thanks to Brother Huang for introducing the situation here. This Tao Tang Hill is really a fengshui treasure land! "
The mountain was very tall and the mountain path was rather far.
After the two people finished chatting, Qin Di recalled the ghost talent Huang Zhan in his previous life and could not help singing at the top of his lungs, "The blue sea laughs, surging tides on both shores, floating and sinking along with the waves, remembering the present, heaven laughs, the tides of the world, who wins and who loses, heaven knows …"
Huang Zhan scratched his head at the side and suddenly took out a huqin and started playing along.
"Good words, good song! Aiya, I really didn't expect that there was still such a song, shocking people's hearts after listening to it. Even the cultivation bottleneck that was hard to surpass for a long time loosened a little! Many thanks, little brother. Is this an immortal song you composed? "
"Sigh, how can I compose it?"
The two people walked for most of the day and arrived at a wide platform halfway up the mountain.
Huang Zhan pointed ahead and said, "Brother Qin, the Tao Tang Stele Forest is here! The stone steles here were all personally carved by Emperor Yao! It's said that this mountain originally had many immortal character ruins. Because of the passage of time and geological changes, they appear incomplete and messy. It was Emperor Yao who organized the immortal characters, cutting all of the immortal characters as a whole and embedding them in the steles, thus forming the stele forest. There are also Emperor Yao's annotations below the steles, so this place is very famous. People often come over to observe and learn. "
Qin Di praised, "Emperor Yao is really a good person! If it were an ordinary Sengoku, they might have to guard this place and make people pay immortal stones before they can view it. "
After walking forward for a short distance, he saw many towering stone tablets.
The stone steles were big and small. The big ones were a hundred feet tall, the small ones might not even be ten feet. This was because the immortal characters were of different sizes. Since it was cut as a whole, one could not tear the immortal characters apart.
