Fairyland Sunshine

Chapter 168 Fang Hu Demon Dao
Two immortal palaces appeared one after another, shining brightly and emitting immortal sounds, which immediately attracted many people's attention.

In just a blink of an eye, many lights rose up from all directions, and the sound of breaking through the air was endless, causing the waves on the sea to surge and the clouds in the sky to sway endlessly.

"How could there be so many people?" Xin Zhizi on the Hengxing Hunhai boat was surprised.

The three of them had been here for a while and had seen monks appearing many times, but they were still surprised to see this scene.

It turned out that so many cultivators had gathered near the East China Sea Eye. No one knew where they usually hid. When they found that the Immortal Palace was about to be born, they suddenly popped up and gathered on all sides of the sea eye, and they were shoulder to shoulder.

Nangong Yu said: "It has been more than seventeen years since the Immortal Palace appeared, and there have never been two Immortal Palaces appearing in succession. Fellow Daoist Xu, shall we also go and take a closer look?"

Xu Heng's gaze did not fall on the sea eye, but looked into the sky with a thoughtful look on his face.

Just now he had vaguely sensed that there seemed to be a vigorous energy in the distant sky. Although after he became a Gangsha, his senses were sharp and sometimes even in his mind, but the one who could sense it from such a long distance must be an extraordinary person.

Unfortunately, after the strange phenomenon in Xianque, the aura from all directions surged, and this feeling was immediately covered up.

"Forget it." Xu Heng retracted his gaze, nodded towards Nangong Yu, and replied, "That's exactly what I meant."

Without seeing him make any movement, the Hengxing Hunhai Boat rose into the sky like a leaden cloud and flew across the sky towards the eye of the sea.

In this East China Sea, the Hengxing Hunhaizhou is indeed notorious. Many eyes were cast upon it as soon as it approached. Even though the people nearby were not afraid, they moved to the sides to avoid getting into trouble before leaving the Immortal Palace.

The few of them did not care about these things. When they got on the deck, they looked down and saw that the fairy palace was floating and sinking. It had already fully appeared. The fairy light in the sea eye was still not extinguished, and it reflected the rosy clouds for half a day. There was also a huge spiritual power spewing out continuously, and the water mist was surging like a tide.

Nangong Yu couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that the last immortal palace will also be born today?"

Xu Heng said: "Reversal is the movement of the Tao. This may indeed be a symbol that the Immortal Palace is about to be completely born."

Nangong Yu's heart moved, and he said: "Daoyou just arrived today, and immediately there was a strange phenomenon. Maybe it was the result of fate."

Xu Heng smiled but did not respond. Nangong Yu was just joking and quickly changed the subject. He pointed at the floating shadow of the Immortal Palace and said, "Daoyou, is there anything peculiar about the layout of this Immortal Palace?"

"Oh?" Xu Heng was prompted by him and realized that these forty-eight fairy palaces, although they all looked identical with golden tops and jade pillars, were actually subtly different from each other.

There are a total of thirty-two fairy palaces on the outermost layer, and another twelve further in, together guarding the 'four' fairy palaces in the middle. Among the four fairy palaces, there is still a vacant position. It seems that if the last fairy palace is to be born, it should be located here.

"This is the position of the five elements." Xu Heng pondered, "It seems that there are differences between these forty-nine immortal palaces."

"That's right." Nangong Yu had observed the floating shadows of the immortal palaces many times and had already guessed this in his mind. He said, "These five immortal palaces must be the most important and will also be the most fiercely contested places."

"Junior brother, what you said is wrong." Qu Shi shook his head and said, "On the contrary, I think the most peripheral Xianque is where the competition is fierce. The further in you go, the fewer people can get involved."

Xin Zhizi said: "Because of this, those who can get involved must be extraordinary people. You can imagine how fierce the fight will be."

Nangong Yu smiled and did not discuss it any further. Instead, he said to Xu Heng, "Your Highness, you certainly did not come here to watch from the sidelines."

"If these forty-nine immortal palaces are really divided into upper, middle, and lower levels, what do you want to do, fellow Taoist?"

Xu Heng smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, just speak frankly."

Nangong Yu did not keep the secret and said, "Senior Brother Qu and Senior Sister Xin are from the same school and have good cooperation. They will work together to fight for Zhongque."

"My original intention was to fight for the middle palace alone, but now that fellow Taoist is here, if you and I can join forces, we might as well try for the upper palace."

Xu Heng's gaze fell on the five elements position, and his eyes couldn't help but move.

Nangong Yu's idea was indeed good. He was one of the ten great disciples of Taihe Sect, and his magic power must be top-notch. If the two of them worked together to fight for Shangque, it would be much more certain than fighting alone, even if it was not a sure thing. Xu Heng considered himself a calm person, so he should have chosen to agree. However, he watched the rise and fall of Xianque for a while, and then slowly said: "Daoyou's proposal is indeed very touching, but I want to fight for Shangque alone."

"Oh?" After these words came out, several people were a little surprised, and Nangong Yu couldn't help but glance at Xu Heng.

Qu Shi and Xin Zhizi might not know clearly, but he remembered that during the Star Picking Conference, Xu Heng had not yet condensed his evil spirit, and it has been less than seven years since then.

Even if the progress is fast, there is no way that Gangsha can be united now, right?
But he hesitated for a moment and just said: "After all, the emergence of the Immortal Palace this time is related to the essence of the five elements, so many powerful people have come here after hearing the news, and their goals are definitely not small."

"Now that you have made your decision, you should pay attention to it."

Xu Heng's heart was slightly moved, and he asked, "Does Daoist friend have any advice for me?"

"It can't be considered as a suggestion, just think of it as sharing what we have." Nangong Yu said: "Let's not talk about the Qinghong Sword. As far as I know, the Three Immortals, Four Beauties and two others have also arrived in the East China Sea. They may be here now."

"In addition, there are many famous figures in the East China Sea, such as Feng Tianqiu from Qixia Island. There is also a senior brother from my Taihe Sect who came here. He practiced the Qigong earlier than me, and he is ranked before me among the top ten disciples."

Nangong Yu mentioned some names and characteristics, and then said: "If it weren't for the Pengxuan Sect's rules, disciples would not be allowed to approach the Sea Eye, and there would be more masters."

Xu Heng was surprised and asked, "Doesn't the Pengxuan Sect allow its disciples to approach the sea eye easily?"

He was not surprised by Nangong Yu's words. After all, the Pengxuan Sect was the real overlord of the East China Sea and a truly great Xuanmen sect.

However, Xu Heng was not aware of this rule, so he was very surprised.

Nangong Yu nodded, "This sect rule has been around for a long time, but no one knows what its meaning is."

“I see.” Xu Heng thought about it and decided that since they were sharing what they had, he should also show some appreciation.

However, how could his information be as well-informed as Nangong Yu's? Therefore, after a moment's hesitation, he could only say: "In fact, when I was in Xingxiu Sea, I once encountered a man fighting with Kong Nanqiu. Although he seemed to be at a disadvantage, he was not in a state of complete defeat..."

Nangong Yu listened carefully to Xu Heng's description, and a strange look appeared on his face. He asked to himself, "Yu Yuan?"

"Yu Yuan?" Xu Heng asked, "Daoyou, do you know where this person came from?"

Nangong Yu said: "If my guess is correct, this person should be a disciple of Fang Hu."

"Fang Hu's disciple?" Xu Heng said thoughtfully, "So, this person might be a demon?"

“That’s right.” Nangong Yu said, “Although I don’t know what it is that has taken shape, it is definitely not a human body.”

Xu Heng couldn't help but nodded. There are three immortal mountains in the East China Sea, Penglai, Yingzhou and Fanghu. Among them, Penglai is the gate of the Pengxuan Sect, but the other two immortal mountains have no Taoist gates.

In other words, there is actually no "Fang Hu School", but Xu Heng is not completely ignorant of Fang Hu disciples.

The origin of this matter actually needs to start from the Pengxuan Sect. It is said that there was a master in the Pengxuan Sect who advocated that one could accept monsters as disciples to learn Taoism.

Although the style of the Pengxuan School was not too old-fashioned, it had never set a precedent for this. There were many obstacles in implementing this matter. Although it was close to success at one point, in the end, the dust settled and this matter did not actually happen.

It was because of this incident that the master left the Pengxuan Sect in anger, but he did not break out. Instead, he moved the Taoist temple to Fanghu. It is rumored that he devoted himself to research, created several Taoist methods, and collected many monsters to train.

These are what Xu Heng saw from the miscellaneous notes. Although they were separated by a vast ocean and he had no way of knowing whether they were true or not, since Nangong Yu had said this, it was probably somewhat credible.
