The scene of tens of thousands of cultivators rushing at the same time was very spectacular.
However, these tens of thousands of people were not worth mentioning when compared to the magnificent Immortal Palace. It was like a handful of sand being sprinkled into the sea, instantly disappearing without a trace. It was not worth mentioning at all.
Li Mu, the woman, and the dog lost their way as soon as they rushed through the Southern Gate and entered the white clouds. After rushing around for a while, they didn't know how far they had gone. Finally, they landed in a pavilion that covered an area of about 10 acres, dizzy and disoriented.
The sea of clouds was vast.
The tens of thousands of other cultivators who rushed in around had all disappeared.
Obviously, they were scattered in other places of the Immortal Palace like dandelions.
It was very strange.
After entering the Immortal Palace, they seemed to suddenly lose their sense of direction.
The air was filled with a faint and strange aura that made people feel relaxed and happy when they breathed it in. There was a feeling of floating in the air. It was different from ordinary spiritual energy. Could this be the legendary immortal energy?
Li Mu took a deep breath and began to look around.
The white clouds were everywhere, and the visibility was only hundreds of meters. Even if he used his Pupil Skill, he could not see through the clouds. Li Mu tried to use the Third Eye to look into the distance, but the visibility was only within a kilometer.
The place in front of them was a white pavilion.
The carved railings and painted walls were extremely exquisite.
There was a round stone table in the center of the pavilion, and there were four round stone chairs around it. There was a white porcelain plate on the table, and there were four jade wine cups on the plate. Outside the plate was a wine flask with two dragon engravings on its mouth. It was about 20 centimeters tall, and there was a faint fragrance of wine coming from the mouth of the flask.
"It smells so good." The Husky leaned over to the wine pot, sniffed, and said, "It's even more intoxicating than the fairy wine of the Golden Platform Temple. Is there fairy wine in this wine pot?"
The stupid dog couldn't wait to grab the wine pot and suck at the mouth of the bottle.
"Don't mess around …" Li Mu quickly grabbed the wine pot and said, "Aren't you afraid that it's poisonous? It's tens of thousands of years old. You just put it in your mouth."
He opened the bottle cap and found there was no wine in it, only a thin layer of brown amber at the bottom of the bottle. The fragrance of the wine in the bottle came from this layer of brown amber. After opening the bottle cap, the fragrance of the wine became stronger and more fragrant.
Li Mu suddenly felt dizzy.
Damn, I think I'm drunk.
He hurriedly capped the bottle.
The layer of brown amber at the bottom of the bottle was obviously a highly concentrated, solidified wine, or perhaps it was more accurate to say that the wine jug had been placed here for a long time. Back then, the wine inside must have been an immortal brew that could intoxicate immortals. He had only taken a few whiffs of the aroma and he was already drunk. Wouldn't that mean …
Li Mu suddenly thought of something and turned to look.
Sure enough, the stupid husky was lying on the ground with a crooked nose and slanted mouth. It had passed out.
Damn, this stupid dog.
He was really drunk to death.
Li Mu was speechless.
He had brought this fellow here so that he could use its nose to search for supreme-grade immortal herbs. How long had it been since he had entered? In less than ten minutes, this fellow had gotten himself drunk and had become a burden.
"The power of this wine is very frightening. Even a Divine Profound Realm expert might die from drinking too much of it," Holy Daughter Yun Guang said.
After pondering for a moment, Li Mu put away the flagon along with the cups.
"Help me carry this dog," Li Mu said.
"What?" Holy Daughter Yun Guang thought she had misheard.
Li Mu said, "If you don't carry it, do you want me to carry it?"
Holy Daughter Yun Guang gnashed her teeth in anger, but she had nothing to say. In the end, she took out an object, which was a bronze carriage.
Two bronze horses made of rune gold were pulling the open chariot, which looked very ancient. It was a kind of chariot from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China. The stupid dog was left in the carriage, which was drooling and snoring.
Li Mu's eyes lit up.
He jumped onto the carriage.
Holy Daughter Yun Guang's face was gloomy. She drove the carriage to the depths of the Immortal Palace.
There was a road paved with white jade outside the Xian Pavilion. Li Mu didn't know where it led, but it was the only way, so he had no choice but to go straight inside.
Li Mu's biggest goal in the Immortal Palace was to find supreme-grade immortal fruits.
That kind of fruit mostly grew in herb gardens and orchards. Li Mu recalled the ancient map given by the patriarch of the Yellow Dragon Clan and tried to find the right and safe way.
At the end of the white jade road was the ruins of a collapsed palace.
There were collapsed palace walls, white jade pillars, broken windows, door frames, sculptures, and statues … Obviously, a war had taken place here a long time ago. There were knife marks and sword holes on the rocks and palace walls. In the ruins, there were also broken weapons, rusty armors, and white broken bones …
All of this indicated that a terrifying battle had taken place here in the past.
A huge golden skeleton was nailed to a 100-meter-high palace wall by a broken sword. The broken sword had pierced through its heart and its spine. What made Li Mu's heart palpitate was that, although he didn't know what kind of creature the golden skeleton was when it was alive, there were still faint golden flames flickering in the eye sockets of the skeleton, as if it was still alive.
"Go around."
Li Mu said.
Holy Daughter Yun Guang naturally didn't want to take the risk. That golden skeleton was giving off a terrible and dangerous aura, so she didn't dare to go near it.
After passing by the ruins of the palace walls and walking forward for about two hours, they arrived at a group of jade buildings with roads extending in all directions.
However, most of these jade palaces had collapsed, and there were traces of battle everywhere. There were shrines that were hundreds of meters tall that had been directly cut into two by a saber strike. There were also tall statues that had holes blasted open by fist imprints. There were human-shaped depressions on the high walls, and there were also the corpses of strange beasts …
The battlefield from tens of thousands of years ago was still filled with tragic scenes today.
And this was just the periphery of the Immortal Palace.
The Immortal Palace was really unimaginably vast.
At a broken crossroad, the bronze chariot stopped.
Li Mu looked at the 100-meter-high dark red statue in the center of the crossroad and finally matched it with the mark on the map given by the patriarch of the Yellow Dragon Clan.
With a reference, Li Mu finally figured out the route.
"Go left."
He said.
Holy Daughter Yun Guang looked at Li Mu with a strange look, but didn't ask anything. She drove the bronze chariot and rushed to the left and right of the crossroad.
The clatter of hooves was particularly ear-piercing in the empty street of the Immortal Palace.
It was said that this Immortal Palace was built by the Immortal Dynasty before the Celestial Court, also known as the Imperial Palace of the ancient Celestial Court. Later, the ancient Celestial Court was overthrown by the current Celestial Court. The war between the two Celestial Courts must have been earth-shattering, so it was reasonable that there were such traces of war.
In many areas, Li Mu could feel the surging murderous intent from afar. Even the laws of fairy qi were distorted in those areas. Perhaps even the old freaks in the Divinity Mystery Realm couldn't bear the terrible aura. Once they were involved in it, they would definitely be smashed into ashes in an instant and die.
There were many dangerous places marked on the map. Li Mu knew that, so he always told Holy Daughter Yun Guang to take a detour in advance. So, he didn't encounter any danger along the way.
"Do you know the way?"
Holy Daughter Yun Guang couldn't help asking.
Li Mu smiled and said, "The Immortal Palace is my home."
Holy Daughter Yun Guang was speechless.
Li Mu added, "You must have come to the Immortal Palace to look for something, right? The Yun Department must have arranged everything for you. Why don't you send me here? You can go find your chance on your own."
He wanted to send Holy Daughter Yun Guang away.
Even though she was a maid and seemed obedient, she was a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment.
Li Mu didn't really believe that Holy Daughter Yun Guang would be loyal to him. After all, the two of them were enemies who couldn't wait to kill each other.
Holy Daughter Yun Guang was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't have any goals. My master told me to be a good maid, stay by your side, and keep you safe."
Li Mu sneered and said, "Don't. I'm not a fool. I'll be thankful if you don't stab me in the back at the critical moment. But you want to protect me? Big sister, you have to be a good liar. "
As he spoke, he grabbed the stupid dog by the neck and jumped off the bronze chariot. "That's it. Let's go our separate ways. Don't follow me, or don't blame me for being rude."
After that, Li Mu didn't wait for Holy Daughter Yun Guang's reply. He directly rode on his broadsword and turned into a jet of light, flying toward the route he had long determined.
Holy Daughter Yun Guang stood there alone for a moment. Finally, she drove the bronze chariot and chased after him.
…
The Immortal Palace was unimaginably vast.
Li Mu felt like a tadpole that had strayed into the vast sea.
In the twinkling of an eye, two days had passed.
Li Mu, as a cheat with a map, was still wandering around the periphery of the Immortal Palace. If he hadn't avoided the dangerous places with the map no less than hundreds of times, Li Mu would really suspect that the chief of the Yellow Dragon Clan had given him a fake map to tease him.
Another three days passed.
Li Mu followed the map and finally came to the outside of the legendary peach orchard.
It was so smooth that Li Mu found it a little hard to believe.
Fortunately, the peach orchard turned out to be in the periphery of the Immortal Palace, so it was not difficult to find it. In the midst of the ruins of the palace, there was an emerald peach forest, which was exuding vitality. The faint green light dyed the surrounding ruins with a dreamy green.
Li Mu walked toward the peach forest step by step.
"There are no inhibitions or tactical deployments. Even the walls of the peach orchard have collapsed …"
He entered the peach forest with ease.
The legendary peach trees looked no different from the ordinary peach trees on Earth. Some of them had already withered and died. They had been affected by the war in the past. Their leaves had withered and turned yellow, and there was no sign of life. There were also some trees that were full of vitality and lush foliage. Unfortunately, they did not bear fruit or even blossom.
"It's very clear that this peach forest was destroyed by the war back then. However, the Immortality Peach Trees possess an extremely strong life force, and some of their roots did not completely die back then. After so many years, a new peach forest has grown back."
Li Mu carefully observed and came to this conclusion.
If this peach orchard was really just like that, it would be troublesome.
The peach orchard was still there, but there were no peaches. That was the worst news.
Fortunately, the peach orchard was quite large. Li Mu kept walking in, hoping to find a peach tree with fruit. Even if it was only a fruit, as long as it could cure the Taoist injury on his spine.
About a kilometer in, Li Mu suddenly stopped.
His face revealed a shocked and vigilant expression.
In the distance, under a huge peach tree, several figures were standing.
Seven.
Seven figures.
To be exact, seven fairies.
They were wearing beautiful fairy dresses in different colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Immortal light swirled around them as they stood still under the huge peach tree. Each of them was holding a willow basket on their arm. They were doing different things. Some were flipping their hair and smiling, some were walking, and some were talking to their sisters …
But all of them were motionless.
The seven beautiful fairies seemed to have been frozen in time. They maintained their different movements and were silent. They were like statues, but they were so lively. It was as if they would laugh and walk out from under the tree in the next moment …
"Are they … the seven legendary fairies?"
Li Mu wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"Are they human beings or ghosts?"
