Sitting and forgetting longevity

Chapter 1929 Immortality Heaven

"Just the few of us?" Liu Qinghuan looked behind Li Shan. There were three people in total, each of whom was an acquaintance.

The Heavenly Wrath True Lord from the Nine Hua Sect had a full beard, stood eight feet tall, and had piercing tiger eyes. When he spoke, his voice was as loud as a bell, like thunder.

The other two, Xu Lingzi and Songfeng Daoren, are both skilled in the Dao of Space and are both from a background of independent cultivation.

"Having more people won't help," Li Shan said. "That place is dangerous and unpredictable. Those who aren't strong enough will just become food for the sea monsters."

"Haha, thank you for your recognition, Fellow Daoist Li." Xu Lingzi stepped forward and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Taiwei, it's been a long time!"

"long time no see!"

Liu Qinghuan greeted each of them and exchanged pleasantries for a while. Li Shan then said, "The teleportation array is ready. It will take three turns to reach the Star Gate and then directly teleport you to the Eternal Heaven."

"Thank goodness we don't have to fly all the way there!" Tiannu exclaimed. "Otherwise, it would have taken us a hundred years!"

"If it's the fastest star shuttle, it should be able to get there in a few decades."

The group chatted idly as they entered the teleportation array.

The rest of their journey will not be detailed here, but in short, five days later, they finally arrived at the Easternmost Point of the Universe, the place where the three great immortals gathered.

But as soon as they stepped out of the main hall where the star gate was located, everyone sensed that the atmosphere was somewhat unusual.

“Brother Yanxiu, didn’t you say that Changshengtian is a rare and tranquil place?” Li Shan said, “But I see quite a few people in this town!”

Greeting them was a refined and slender middle-aged cultivator who seemed quite familiar with Li Shan. Upon hearing this, he smiled and said:

"You don't think you're the only clever one, eyeing that five-colored stone mountain in the Mountain and Sea Ruins, do you?"

Li Shan's mind raced, and he feigned surprise, saying, "What? Someone actually got ahead of us?"

The middle-aged cultivator scoffed, "Of course there are plenty." He then asked, "Are you currently facing a severe shortage of spatial spiritual materials within your Three Thousand Realms?"

“It’s not that it’s scarce,” Li Shan said without hiding anything. “It’s extremely scarce, the kind of scarcity where you can’t buy it even with spirit stones!”

Alas, we have been tormented by the great calamities of heaven and earth over the years, and every realm is desperately trying to strengthen its space.

Spatial materials were already scarce, and now with so much increased demand, it's impossible to find them anywhere!

“That explains it,” the middle-aged cultivator said. “The number of people coming to the Eternal Heaven has been increasing day by day in recent years, especially in the last ten years or so. I don’t know who spread the word about the existence of the Five-Colored Stone Mountain, but the number of people coming has only grown! However…”

He glanced at Liu Qinghuan and the others, and said bluntly, "You guys will probably end up like everyone else, seeing but not being able to touch it, and returning empty-handed!"

These words caused everyone's expressions to turn solemn. Li Shan asked, "What's going on?"

The middle-aged cultivator shook his head and sighed, "I know you may not believe this, but it is true. No one has been able to find that five-colored stone mountain all these years."

"Impossible!" Li Shan frowned and said, "When I entered the Mountain and Sea Ruins back then, I definitely saw that mountain shadow that emitted five-colored spiritual light!"

"With your temper! I knew you wouldn't believe me even if I told you, so I didn't bother trying to persuade you not to come."

The middle-aged cultivator summoned a flying boat: "Forget it, you're all the type who won't turn back until you hit a brick wall! Let's go, I'll take you to the seaside."

Li Shan hesitated for a moment, then, after the group had boarded the flying boat, he asked somewhat anxiously, "Has no one really found the Five-Colored Stone Mountain?"

“As far as I know, yes!” the middle-aged monk said. “That mountain is like the most beautiful mirage; everyone has seen it, but no one can find it.”

His tone and expression seemed genuine, causing the others to exchange bewildered glances. Tian Nu spoke first: "So, all that we've come all this way has actually been a waste of time?"

Xu Lingzi glanced at Li Shan's expression and smoothed things over, saying, "You can't say that. Since they've seen it, it's there. Perhaps those people before them were just unlucky or not strong enough to find it..."

“It could also be related to space,” Songfeng Daoren added. “Since the mountain is full of five-colored stones, it may cause anomalies in the space, leading to unexpected events or blurring the lines between reality and illusion, making it impossible for people to find their true location.”

Tian Nu was even more puzzled. He had never explored the Dao of Space, but Xu Lingzi and Song Feng did.

"Is that right?"

As he spoke, he looked at Li Shan and the middle-aged cultivator.

"Hahaha!" the middle-aged cultivator laughed, "That's right, most people think the same way as you. They won't give up until they go and find it themselves!"

Li Shan remained noncommittal, then suddenly realized that Liu Qinghuan hadn't said a word the entire way, so he asked:
"Brother Liu, what do you think?"

Liu Qinghuan looked relaxed, even enjoying the fleeting scenery with a touch of contentment.

Green mountains like dark eyebrows, blue waves shimmering with rosy clouds, waterfalls and springs cascading down like the glow of the sun, and flowing ribbons of rainbows fluttering in the sky.

The name of the Eternal Heaven is well-deserved. Its reputation even surpasses that of the Immortal Realm Beyond the Heavens and the Deer Realm. The immortal energy is extremely rich, making it extremely suitable for cultivators at the Mahayana level and above to meditate.

Therefore, those below the Mahayana level can hardly set foot in the Eternal Heaven, making this realm even more tranquil.

The flying boat piloted by the middle-aged cultivator did not fly in a straight line, but instead circled around many sacred mountains and rivers, indicating that those places were owned by someone.

"Has any wandering immortal ever reached Five-Colored Stone Mountain?" Liu Qinghuan asked.

The middle-aged cultivator was slightly taken aback: "This... Although I have been cultivating in the Eternal Heaven for many years and have made friends with several senior rogue immortals, why would they tell me my whereabouts?"

After thinking for a moment, Liu Qinghuan cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards the other party.

Li Shan hurriedly asked, "Brother Liu, what do you think of that five-colored stone mountain...?"

“It exists!” Liu Qinghuan said, looking into the distance.

The boundless sea is faintly visible, and the rhythmic sound of the waves can already be heard.

"I believe that mountain is not a mirage, but exists in the Mountain and Sea Ruins. It just depends on whether we have the ability to set foot on it."

Li Shan felt reassured, and the expressions of Lian Tiannu and the others gradually softened.

Amidst the middle-aged cultivator's helpless shake of the head, he exclaimed excitedly, "I refuse to believe it! We must dig it out!"

"In that case, let me remind you a few more things."

The middle-aged cultivator pressed the flying boat on the seashore and pointed to the sea, saying, "Because more and more people from the Three Thousand Realms are coming, it has also attracted sea monsters to gather on the shore."

I heard from some cultivators who returned a few days ago that they have now gathered together at sea, just waiting for the cultivators to break in before starting the slaughter.

So you must be careful; many of those sea beasts are at least ninth-rank or higher. We human cultivators use their flesh and blood to refine pills and forge weapons to improve our cultivation, and they do the same!

Li Shan patted the other person on the shoulder: "Thank you for telling us, we will be careful."

"There's something else," the middle-aged cultivator said, his expression turning serious. "Strange things often happen at sea. If you encounter a black fog tide, be sure to get away from it as quickly as possible!"
