Fairyland Sunshine

Chapter 164: Three Mountains and Sea Songtao Island

Wei Haizhi also didn't know what expectations Yanhong contained.

Perhaps after nearly half a year of watching the ceremony, even if he was enthusiastic about the instrument, he had already accumulated a lot of fatigue. Or perhaps it was because he wanted to reply to Mr. Wei. After getting the answer, Wei Haizhi said goodbye to Xu Heng and set off to return home.

Xu Heng said goodbye to Wei Haizhi, then he flew away with his sword again, transforming into "Flame Rainbow" and fled away.

After going through a rather lengthy process of refining a weapon, and personally participating in it, Xu Heng felt refreshed both physically and mentally, as if he had also gone through a great deal of "tribulation" during the process of refining the 'Flame Rainbow'.

This feeling is very mysterious.

It is often said that practitioners have to go through many tribulations. There are even Taoist books that bluntly state that every hurdle a practitioner encounters is inevitably accompanied by unavoidable tribulations.

Whether this statement is true or not is impossible to verify, but for Taoist monks, the word "disaster" is terrifying, but it also often has two sides of the coin.

Xu Heng didn't know why refining the sword gave him this feeling, but the benefits seemed to be real.

Of course, it might also be because Xu Heng had practiced swordsmanship for a long time but had never gotten his hands on a truly superior sword. Therefore, once he had the sword pill in his hand, he confirmed what he had learned and found that he had begun to have a completely new understanding of swordsmanship.

He turned fire into sword and fled, and gradually, it seemed as if he had really merged himself into the sword.

Body and sword become one.

Boom!

As the moon set and the sun rose, Xu Heng suddenly raised his sword quickly, piercing through the air and shooting out. In a flash, it had reached the sky, leaving only a long flame tail and -

Rolling thunder!

Sword Qi Thunder Sound!

Xu Heng finally understood the symbol of this so-called peerless swordsmanship. Even though he had only gained a glimpse of the inner world, it still represented a whole new world that had opened up for him.

Xu Heng felt very happy and kept flying with the sword, heading eastward. Suddenly, he saw smoke and mist. It turned out that he had crossed the sea boundary from Xingxiu Sea to Sanshan Sea without realizing it.

The sea is different from the land. There are no obvious boundaries at sea. Only this unique symbol can be used as a distinction.

There is fog all year round on the Three Mountains Sea, and the three great fairy mountains are hidden in it.

Of course, although the fog in the Three Mountains and Seas does not dissipate, it will not confuse the mind or confuse the direction. It’s just that in the legend, the locations of the three immortal mountains are erratic. If one does not have the right destiny, it will be difficult to find their traces even if one travels all over the Three Mountains and Seas.

Among the three immortal mountains, only Penglai is relatively different. As the mountain gate of Pengxuan Sect, there are always some outsiders visiting, so there are still some ways to find it.

However, not everyone knows this method of searching.

When Xu Heng was in Tianchi Mountain, he did learn some techniques from the books in the collection, and he also had fellow Taoists he could visit in the Pengxuan Sect.

However, after Xu Heng changed his mind, he still didn't want to waste time. Although he wanted to pay a visit, this trip was to go to the sea eye, so it wouldn't be too late to do it after he returned.

However, after Xu Heng had refined the magic weapon for 9981 days, he used the sword to escape continuously. After flying so far, he still felt that his magic power was insufficient.

Therefore, although he did not want to go to Penglai, he still decided to find a place to meditate and recover his magic power before chasing the sea eye. He took a piece of talisman paper, wrote a talisman on it, and shook it gently. A bright fire ignited on the talisman paper, and it flew into the air with the air of earth.

Xu Heng changed to the cloud method which did not consume much mana, and followed the talisman paper slowly. Soon he saw an island emerging from the fog.

There are not only three great mountains in the Three Mountains Sea, there are also some islands and even some floating islands.

The floating islands here do not refer to suspended islands, but islands floating in the sea. According to legend, they are carried by giant turtles that have lived in the Three Mountains and Seas for countless years. They will also move slowly, but they are not as difficult to find as the three immortal mountains.

Xu Heng was also very curious about the floating island, especially the giant turtle carrying the island, but he did not look for it deliberately. Unexpectedly, perhaps there was some fate that allowed him to find the location of the floating island.

Xu Heng looked down and found that the island was indeed drifting with the ocean current, although the speed was extremely slow and there was none of the majestic breath of life that he had imagined.

He was a little curious and couldn't help but observe for a while, but the cloud method hanging in the air seemed too ostentatious. Soon, a beam of light rose above the floating island and flew towards this place.

There were people on this floating island, and they were cultivators. Xu Heng was not surprised.

He knew that there were also mortals living in the Three Mountains and Seas, and under the rule of the Pengxuan Sect, it was not at all as chaotic as the Xingxiu Sea. Most of them lived and worked in peace and contentment, with enough food and clothing. It was truly a paradise.

Moreover, some islands are where the monks of the Pengxuan sect settle their relatives and families, so naturally there will be some practitioners there.

As expected, the escaping light approached Xu Heng and revealed its figure. It was a middle-aged man. He bowed and said, "Which Taoist friend is it that suddenly visited my Songtao Island?"

"Songtao Island?" Xu Heng looked over and saw that the island was indeed as its name suggested. When the sea breeze blew, there were waves of pine trees. There was also a large city located between the mountains and forests.

"So you are the master of Songtao Island." Xu Heng returned the greeting and said, "I am Xu Heng, just passing by and want to find a place to rest for a while."

"Oh?" The man's face relaxed and he replied, "I am Liu Yuanhe. I am not the owner of Songtao Island, but I have some management responsibilities."

"I welcome you to find a place to stay, but Songtao Island is under the jurisdiction of Peng Xuan. It has always been far away from the hustle and bustle, peaceful and harmonious... Please don't make things difficult for me."

There was a hint of warning in his words, but this was understandable. Moreover, compared with the chaos in Xingxiu Sea, this was the friendliest thing to do.

Xu Heng smiled slightly and replied, "That's natural."

Liu Yuanhe then nodded and led Xu Heng towards Songtao Island. Instead of going to the city, they headed towards the only peak.

Xu Heng did not ask, but just followed his advice and flew to the top of the mountain, but his heart could not help but be moved.

"It seems that my arrival on this island is indeed due to fate..."

Xu Heng was just thinking in his heart when he saw a young man standing on the top of the peak. He was relieved to find that Liu Yuanhe had returned safely. Then he saw Xu Heng following him and was immediately surprised and delighted.

"Master Xu...Master Xu?" The man was still a little hesitant and called out. When he saw Xu Heng nodding with a smile, he was convinced and said happily, "It's really you. It's been so many years since we last met. Are you doing well?"

Isn't this young man Dai Xiangfei, whom Xu Heng had met once in Cangzhu Mountain in the past?

"Young Patriarch, maybe I should call you Patriarch Dai." Xu Heng smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you for your concern. I hope you are doing well."
