Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1553 First Entry into the Ten Thousand Mountains
That evening, Huang Zhe hosted a grand banquet at the city lord's mansion to celebrate the great victory he had just achieved.

Although the banquet was rushed, it was by no means low-key. It featured not only high-grade spiritual food and spiritual fruits and wine, but also beautiful ladies singing and dancing to entertain the guests, making the atmosphere of the banquet quite pleasant.

After the banquet, every Mahayana expert who participated in the battle received a storage bracelet.

Liu Changxu briefly checked the spiritual items in the storage bracelet and found that there were 20,000 low-grade immortal crystals, six top-grade ninth-rank amethyst dates, and two ninth-rank Yin-Yang Spirit Nourishing Pills. He was overjoyed and secretly admired Zhe Huangzhe for his good manners.

However, not long after he returned to his residence, Huang Zhe came to visit him with Huang Yuyao and a pair of twin sisters whose cultivation had both reached the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage and whose appearances were stunning and of unparalleled beauty.

After Liu Changxu invited him in and the two took their seats as host and guest, Huang Zhe got straight to the point:

"The main reason I've come here is to thank the Immortal King. Without his help, our Great Chu would be in grave danger!"

As he spoke, Huang Zhe took out a white jade box from his storage bracelet, removed the seal, and opened the lid. A fist-sized, crystal-clear, fiery red fruit came into view.

The fruit contained immense energy and extreme heat, resembling a miniature sun. The surface of the fruit seemed to have the phantom of a fire phoenix, emitting strong fluctuations of the fire attribute's primordial laws, as well as a strange fragrance.

Huang Zhe pointed to the fruit and said to Liu Changxu:
"Immortal King, this is a low-grade Fire Phoenix Immortal Fruit that my Great Chu Immortal Dynasty has treasured for three thousand years. I hope it will be helpful for your breakthrough to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!"

With that, Huang Zhe closed the box lid again, sealed it, and used magic to deliver it to Liu Changxu.

Faced with Huang Zhe's generous gift, Liu Changxu did not refuse and immediately stored it in his storage bracelet. Then, he expressed his gratitude:

"Thank you for this generous gift, Elder Huang. Rest assured, I, Liu, will certainly help you overcome this calamity."

"With the Immortal King's words, I, Huang, am relieved."

Huang Zhe said with great satisfaction:
Then, Huang Zhe pointed to Huang Yuyao, who was serving on either side, and the two twin sisters, and said to Liu Changxu:
"They are all outstanding juniors of my Huang family. Because they admire the Immortal King's demeanor, they volunteered to serve him. We beg the Immortal King not to abandon them and take them in."

Although he had expected it, Liu Changxu was still shocked by Huang Zhe's directness. Clearly, Huang Zhe had shown his utmost sincerity in order to win him over.

Seeing Liu Changxu hesitate, Huang Yuyao and the twin sisters quickly spoke up:
"This humble servant, Huang Yuyao, greets the Immortal King and is willing to serve him at his side!"

"Your humble servants, Huang Yuqiang and Huang Yuwei, are willing to serve the Immortal King. We beg the Immortal King to accept us!"

Seeing that the three women had all spoken, Liu Changxu did not hesitate any longer and immediately stated:

"Changxu thanks Elder Huang for his trust and the three fairies for their favor. Rest assured, as long as the three fairies treat me with sincerity, I, Liu Changxu, will certainly not let them down! Once the crisis of the Great Chu Immortal Dynasty is resolved, I will formally marry the three fairies."

"That would be perfect!" Upon seeing Liu Changxu's promise, Huang Zhe's face immediately lit up with an excited smile. Having made Liu Changxu, this super-strong expert, his grandson-in-law meant that if the Great Chu Immortal Dynasty ever faced a crisis like this again, it would undoubtedly have an extra powerful backer. How could he not be overjoyed?

After receiving Liu Changxu's promise, Huang Zhe did not linger and took his leave, while Huang Yuyao and the other two women were left behind by him.

With the company of the three women, Liu Changxu spent a very wonderful and pleasant evening.

Three days later, Liu Changxu bid farewell to Huang Yuyao and the other two women, and together with Huang Zhe, Wei Changqing, and others, boarded the golden flying boat from the Yangxian Sect and embarked on another journey.

After a long flight of more than a month, the golden airship carrying everyone finally arrived at the edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Liu Changxu stood side by side with Wei Changqing and Huang Zhe on the deck of the golden flying boat, his eyes shimmering with nine-colored divine light. His powerful divine sense, perfected at the Great Ascension stage, was like an invisible giant net, instantly enveloping the land for hundreds of millions of miles beneath his feet.

From the jagged rocks on the high mountains to the massive root systems of the ancient trees in the forest, from the monstrous insects fluttering in the forest to the ferocious beasts lurking among the grass and trees, and even the underground rivers and caverns flowing thousands of feet underground, all were vividly imprinted in his mind.

However, exploring such a vast area consumed an astonishing amount of spiritual energy and magical power. As time went on, due to the excessive consumption, Liu Changxu had to change his exploration method: first, he would use his divine sense to scan a wide area, capturing the spatial law fluctuations belonging to the secret realm; once he detected something unusual, he would then concentrate his mind to conduct a focused investigation. This method not only greatly reduced the consumption of spiritual energy and magical power, but also significantly improved the efficiency of the exploration.

Like Liu Changxu, Huang Zhe, Wei Changqing, and others were also carefully probing the Blood God Cult's secret realm space with their divine sense.

However, the Hundred Thousand Mountains region is too vast, and the Blood God Sect's secret realm is too hidden, so even if these Mahayana stage experts search with all their might, it is still quite difficult.

In particular, deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains, colorful miasma permeates the air. This miasma is not only extremely poisonous but also obstructs and weakens the detection of divine sense, which adds many difficulties to the search work.

The group searched the Hundred Thousand Mountains for more than twenty days but failed to find any trace of the Blood God Cult's secret realm.

However, the group did not come away empty-handed during this time. While searching for the Blood God Cult's secret realm above the Hundred Thousand Mountains, they encountered five ninth-tier demonic beasts in succession.

Because they had an overwhelming advantage, all five ninth-tier demonic beasts were killed by Liu Changxu and his group. They not only obtained the precious ninth-tier demonic beast meat and materials, but also the high-level spiritual items accumulated or guarded by these ninth-tier demonic beasts fell into their hands.

However, these gains were nothing to Liu Changxu, who had already reached the Great Ascension stage. On the contrary, Murong Ke and other early and mid-stage Great Ascension experts valued these gains highly and were extremely happy.

It should be noted that although they possessed Mahayana cultivation, their strength was relatively weak, and they were not capable of hunting monsters of the same level on their own, let alone achieving such a harvest.

However, after a long period of searching, Liu Changxu, Wei Changqing, and Huang Zhe couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

In order to find the Blood God Cult's secret realm as soon as possible, the three decided to split into three groups after some discussion: Huang Zhe led four Mahayana experts from the Great Chu Immortal Dynasty in one group, Liu Changxu led another group alone, and Wei Changqing led the remaining Mahayana experts in another group, each searching separately.

After the group was formed, Liu Changxu immediately summoned the Ruyi Lotus Disc, which carried him to his target area.
