Fairyland Sunshine

Chapter 153 The Supreme Palace

The little thing squeaked and groaned, and kept gesturing with its little paws, actually revealing a bit of indignation.

Xu Heng did not feel guilty, but instead taught him a lesson: "You seem to be very comfortable. I have been on Yuechi Island for twenty days, and this is the first time I have seen you."

When he returned to the world of the living and arrived at Yuechi Island for the first time, he asked Ling Junzi about the current situation of the Golden Bag Deer.

Unexpectedly, Ling Junzi said that this little thing was elusive on Yuechi Island, running around in the caves of various senior sisters and even sneaking into the forbidden medicine garden. Sometimes it didn't appear for ten days or half a month. No one knew where it was running around, but they knew it must have not run away.

Therefore, Xu Heng took the opportunity to teach him a lesson.

This little thing is really smart. Hearing this, he actually held his head up. I don't know if he was really guilty or just didn't want to be taught. Xu Heng couldn't help laughing when he saw this and could only shake his head.

"Senior Brother Xu." Seeing Xu Heng appear, the little sister stepped forward to greet him. She then secretly glared at the little thing and couldn't help but complain, "Senior Brother, this golden sac deer has been stealing in the medicine garden all day long. How abominable!"

Xu Heng said: "I am really ashamed. I will take it away this time to avoid wasting the spiritual herbs."

When the junior sister heard this, she exclaimed, "Actually, the senior sisters all said it's okay..."

Xu Heng noticed that she was somewhat reluctant to leave and secretly laughed in his heart, so he changed the subject and asked where Ling Junzi was.

Unexpectedly, the younger sister said, "After Master came back, he tested the sisters on their lessons. Sister Ling Junzi did not pass, so Master sent her to seclusion."

"Oh?" Xu Heng asked in surprise, "Master has returned to Yuechi Island? In that case, I should go and pay her a visit now."

The little sister nodded and said, "Master is at Jinghu Cottage, you can go there by yourself, I still have to take care of the medicine garden."

Xu Heng had been to Jinghu Cottage once. After saying goodbye to his junior sister, he flew in the direction of his memory and soon landed on the bank of a lake in the mountains. He heard a voice coming from the courtyard, calling him to come in.

Xu Heng pushed open the gate, startling a group of spiritual birds that flew away. Then he saw Master Xuanxin in the yard with a handful of pills in his hand, as if he was feeding the spiritual birds.

When she saw the spiritual bird fly away, she put down the pill, raised her head and cast a glance at Xu Heng, then pointed to the stone pier beside her with a smile and said, "Sit down."

Xu Heng knew that Master Xuanxin was easy-going, so after paying his respects, he sat down as he was told.

Master Xuanxin also seemed to be chatting casually. When he asked Xu Heng about his journey to Jiuyou, he briefly told him about his relationship with the Taoist gambling master. Master Xuanxin just smiled when he heard it.

"It is really rare to be able to form a bond with the Great Immortal Zhenkong."

She said, "Compared to when you first came to the East Sea, you have made a lot of progress. If your master saw this, he would definitely be very pleased."

Xu Heng recalled his own progress, which was indeed not mediocre, especially the gains from cultivating the Taoist body, which was a key factor.

However, the method of cultivating the Dao body was obtained from Dai Zhiling's corpse. Xu Heng didn't know how to start, so he could only respond: "Thanks to Master's fate, I went to Cangzhu Mountain to seek the Nine Yin True Evil, and I really gained a lot."

"Oh?" Master Xuanxin was slightly surprised, but he did not want to ask more questions. He just smiled and said, "In that case, it is worth your master's visit to Yuechi Island." Xu Heng naturally nodded in response, and chatted with Master Xuanxin for a while, then was about to bow and say goodbye. However, he suddenly remembered the matter of the Sea Eye Immortal Mansion.

Although Xu Heng and Master Xuanxin had only met twice, he could feel that this nun really treated him as a disciple. This was not an offense, so he simply asked:

"I have a question, may I ask you, Master?"

Xuan Xin Zhenren said: "That's it."

Xu Heng briefly described what he had encountered and heard on his way back, and asked, "Master, do you know what is so mysterious about this Sea Eye Immortal Mansion that it has attracted so many people's attention before it was officially unveiled?"

"Oh? So that's it." Xuan Xin Zhenren smiled slightly, but asked in return: "Do you know the 'Taishang Palace'?"

"Taishang Palace?" Xu Heng was surprised and said, "Of course I know such a famous name."

It is impossible for anyone who practices cultivation to not know Tai Shang Palace, not only because of its great reputation, but also because it is the only Taoist sect that has been passed down from ancient times to modern times, but still destroyed!
How many generations, storms, disasters, and ups and downs did a great Taoist sect go through to pass down to this day from the ancient times, which are difficult to piece together in the history of Taoism?
And such an ancient Taoist sect would actually be destroyed!
When Xu Heng learned about this from the books in Tianchi Mountain, one can imagine the shock he was in. Therefore, no matter how much time has passed, he still remembers it vividly.

Xu Heng was greatly surprised when he heard Xuan Xin Zhenren mention this name. He could not help but ask, "Could it be that the immortal palace where the East Sea Eye was born is actually the Taoist collection left by the Supreme Palace?"

"Hehe..." Unexpectedly, Xuan Xin Zhenren smiled faintly, but said sadly: "Taishang Palace, where are the remaining Taoist scriptures?"

Xu Heng was shocked, and for some reason he felt sad. He was silent for a long moment before he said, "If it's not the case, why did Master suddenly mention the Supreme Palace?"

“Although it is not a legacy of the Daoist Canon, it also has a great origin.”

Xuan Xin Zhenren said: "When the Supreme Palace was still at its peak, there was a powerful person who refined dozens of immortal palaces and made them circulate in the void to collect the 'essence of the innate five elements'."

When Master Xuanxin said this, Xu Heng's eyes lit up slightly.

As expected, her next words were: "Later, the Supreme Palace was destroyed and perished, and no one went to take out the 'Innate Five Elements Essence' collected by these dozens of immortal palaces."

"It's a pity that these immortal palaces are in the void and no one can find them. However, some people have speculated that after the fall of the Supreme Palace, these immortal palaces became rootless duckweed and will sooner or later fall into the Eye of the East China Sea..."

"So this time, the so-called 'immortal palace' that appeared in the sea eye." Xu Heng said: "It is the Taishang Palace Immortal Palace filled with the 'essence of the five innate elements'!"

Xuan Xin Zhenren smiled and replied leisurely: "From the current signs, it should be correct."

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is." Xu Heng said to himself: "No wonder it attracted so many eyes..."

What is the essence of the five elements? In a word, it is the elixir of life!
Moreover, it is the most important one among the three external medicines, because absorbing the essence of the five innate elements is the first step to condense the golden elixir, and it is even a crucial step in laying the foundation!
If one cannot absorb enough of the essence of the five innate elements, even if one has gathered the other five great internal and external medicines, the grade will drop when condensing the pill.

As for the mysterious 'upper three levels', there is no need to think too much about it, as the threshold may be difficult to reach.
