Fairyland Sunshine

Chapter 176 Four Mysterious, Three Evils, and Ten External
"Senior Brother Zhou."

"Don't be nervous." All the junior brothers and sisters were looking at him. Senior Brother Zhou gave the order calmly, then helped Feng fly into the air and cautiously faced the flames.

He was about to ask, but the flame seemed to see him coming, and changed direction slightly, and rushed straight towards him. Then, it scattered like flying stars, and the flowing flames floated in the wind. Then, a young Taoist with an ebony branch in his hairpin and wearing a plain robe appeared. He bowed slightly and asked with a smile: "May I ask this Taoist friend, where is this place?"

Senior Brother Zhou was startled and said subconsciously: "This is the sea outside Yunwu Mountain..."

At this point, he finally reacted and was secretly surprised. He felt that there was an inexplicable force in the Taoist's words that made him believe, so he answered subconsciously. He quickly calmed down and asked, "May I ask where you are from, fellow Taoist, and why are you visiting Yunwu Mountain?"

"Yunwu Mountain?" The Taoist pondered for a moment, as if he could not remember the name, and then said, "I came from Dongzhou and lost my way while crossing the sea alone, so I came here unexpectedly. I wonder where this place is?"

"From Dongzhou?" Senior Brother Zhou was even more surprised. He looked at him carefully and felt that he was dignified and elegant, and he was indeed a Taoist immortal. He also had the power to cross the sea alone. He knew that this person must have an extraordinary background, so he became more polite and said, "This is the mountain gate of my Baiyu Sect, which can be considered under the jurisdiction of Zhaoyuan Sect."

"Zhao Yuanzong?" The Taoist didn't seem surprised. He looked up at the stars and smiled slightly: "So we have reached the southern part of the world."

It turns out that this person is Xu Heng.

He traveled westwards. In a month, he spent 17 or 18 days gathering Tian Gang and practicing magic. The rest of the time, he had to stop meditating and regulate his breathing in order to travel at full speed. Occasionally, he would encounter monsters on the sea. Some of them could be easily dealt with, while others needed to be avoided...

After walking and stopping, and making circles, it took more than a year before we finally found the trace of land. It turned out that we had taken the wrong path and ended up in the southern coast.

Xu Heng didn't know much about the Baiyu Sect of Yunwu Mountain, but he was well-known for the Zhaoyuan Sect. Although Xu Heng had never set foot in Tiannan, he knew the reputation of this sect.

The mountains in the south of the sky are endless. There are four major sects and three evil sects. They are all major sects of cultivation. In addition, there are "ten outside", that is, five side sects and five major families. Although they are not as big as the major sects, they are also powerful forces.

From this we can see that the cultivation culture in Tiannan is extremely prosperous, far surpassing any other cultivation world Xu Heng has ever visited.

The Zhaoyuan Sect is a prominent sect that is known as the "Four Mysterious Sects of the Southern Sky" along with the Xiandu Sect, the Chixiao Sect, and the Yuheng Sect. Its jurisdiction is very vast...

As far as Xu Heng knew, there were many small and medium-sized sects affiliated with the Four Profound Sects of Tiannan. These sects might not all inherit the Taoist tradition of the Four Profound Sects, but all of them respected the Four Profound Sects as their supreme sect.

Therefore, the disciples of the Baiyu Sect said that Yunwu Mountain could be considered under the jurisdiction of Zhaoyuan Sect, which shows how wide this range is.

So although Xu Heng knew that he was now in the south of the sky, he was still a little unsure of his location. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "May I ask, fellow Taoist, are there any immortal cities or markets nearby? Can you point me in the right direction?"

"Well, to be honest with you, this is a place for seclusion." Senior Brother Zhou pondered and said, "If you want to find the immortal city market, you need to go at least ten thousand miles away. On the way, there are many small sects, hermit caves, and even monster territories..."

"Oh?" Xu Heng was a little surprised. Could it be that this southern land was really full of people practicing Taoism?

If this is true, it would be a bit troublesome. Although practitioners can fly high, they are also taboo to cross other people's territories... Of course, it's just a bit of trouble and there are many ways to get around it.

Xu Heng was thinking about it. Senior Brother Zhou thought for a while and suddenly said, "How about you come to my Baiyu Sect to rest for a day? I will lead you there tomorrow?" Xu Heng's heart moved. He saw that this person wanted to make friends and he didn't feel repulsive. He was a little tired after traveling all the way here. It would be nice to rest for a day. So he responded, "Is this a bit of a bother?"

"Why do you say that?" Senior Brother Zhou smiled and said, "I am also thinking about going out for a trip... Daoist friend, please wait."

He apologized, stopped and explained to his fellow disciples, then turned back and pointed to the shore, saying, "Fellow Daoist, please follow me."

Xu Heng nodded slightly, followed him and flew away, then said, "I almost forgot, my name is Zhou Yuan, I haven't asked for your name yet, fellow Taoist?"

"So it's Brother Zhou." Xu Heng replied, "My surname is Xu, and my given name is Heng."

"Xu Heng?" Zhou Yuan was startled for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Fellow Daoist, are you Xu Heng, the top disciple of Bei Xuanwei?"

"Oh?" Xu Heng asked in surprise, "Do you recognize me, fellow Taoist?"

Zhou Yuan originally thought that Xu Heng came from Dongzhou, or was a disciple of Pengxuan Sect, but he did not expect that he was the person he was discussing just now. He felt that it was a strange fate, and said, "Daoyou, you may not know yet, but your record of defeating Qinghong Sword in the East Sea Eye has spread all over Tiannan."

"Also, in the Four-Character Review, Master Shuijing ranked you as the tenth in the Wonderful Word Review... Do you know the Four-Character Review? If you rank at the top of the Four-Character Review, who wouldn't recognize you?"

Of course Xu Heng knew about the Four-Character Review, but he did not expect that during the year he had been at sea, the Four-Character Review had become popular all over the world. So he asked a few more questions, and Zhou Yuan naturally told him everything.

The two rode the wind and clouds, talking all the way, and soon saw the shadow of the land, rising and falling under the moonlight.
The earth can carry all things like a carriage. This unique thickness is unmatched by any island in the East China Sea or even on land. Xu Heng couldn't help but feel refreshed.

He heard the sound of the tide coming from the wind, and looked closely, only to see a huge river rushing downstream and into the sea. It turned out that this was an estuary, and it looked somewhat unique.

It is not known whether it is due to magic or the miracle of creation, but although the water is rushing into the sea, the spiritual energy on the sea is gathering here, and even flowing upstream, making the coast full of spiritual energy, and the green mountains and clear waters are all blessed places -

No wonder Zhou Yuan said that going this way, there are cultivators everywhere, and even monsters lurking there.

Xu Heng followed Zhou Yuan up the river and soon saw a very tall fairy mountain, like a valley in the clouds. Four or five jade dragons flew down and merged into the river. Nearly half of the spiritual power of this river was used to nourish this fairy mountain.

"It seems that this is Yunwu Mountain." When he arrived here, Xu Heng could see clearly that Huihai's inspiration might be a miracle of creation, but Yunwu Mountain used this inspiration to support the mountain gate, which was obviously a magical means, and it was at least the work of a Jindan Zhenren.

Although spiritual practice is flourishing in the southern part of the sky, with a Jindan Zhenren in charge, it can't be considered a small sect.

Xu Heng seemed to be thinking about something as he followed Zhou Yuanfei up Yunwu Mountain. He saw many pavilions and towers built against the mountain. Although it was a starry night, many Taoists could be seen sitting in high places, breathing in the moonlight and collecting star power. The scene was indeed quite extraordinary.
