Chapter 79: Unprecedented, Magnificent Mountains and Rivers

The Demon Suppression Division camp, where Gao Jian’s own hut is located.

Along with the clear sound of water, white smoke emerged from the tea and a rich aroma came.

Shui Cangcang poured tea for Gao Jian while saying, "My water is from the spiritual spring at the source of the Baishan River, and the tea is Bailu Stone Flower. This kind of tea only grows on large rocks with roots on cliffs filled with spiritual energy. It is as fine as the morning dew, and the flowers are as small as dewdrops. But if you look closely, they are as gorgeous as real flowers. Although small in size, they have all the necessary equipment. They grow on rocks without roots. Because of this strangeness, it is called 'Bailu Stone Flower'."

"After picking, it can be processed into scented tea. The tea tastes sharp and has the fresh scent of mountain stones. It is brewed with boiling water from Lingquan Spring. The color is like the first dawn at the mountain window, shining through the paper, and shining like snow. The fragrance is strong and it is the best tea in Cangzhou."

Gao Jian nodded, then picked up a glass and drank it in one gulp.

"Hey!" Shui Cangcang said anxiously: "This tea needs to be savored carefully. If you drink it in large quantities, the taste will be wrong. You need to shake it carefully to let the heavy and turbid parts settle at the bottom and let the essence float on top. Only then will it have a good fragrance and taste!"

"Okay, okay, I understand. So what's their response?" Gao Jian waved his hand and got straight to the point.

Seeing Gao Jianniu chewing the peony, Shui Cangcang sighed.

Next time, don’t bring good tea, just bring some tea foam.

However, he did not delay the business, but replied: "The water tribe agreed to let you go quickly. They have prepared a banquet and are ready to entertain you. Here, this is the reply letter."

A fish-skin book with a line of words written inside:

"I heard that the lieutenant of Gaoxiao is willing to come in person. I am honored to have you here. I have brought a few small gifts and look forward to your visit. I am waiting for your arrival. I will greet you for a while and wait for your instructions at the Dragon Palace in Baishan River."

There are some symbols engraved on this fish skin book, which has a bit of charm and should be some kind of anti-counterfeiting measure.

"That's good, but isn't Baishanjiang Dragon Palace in the inner city? Do the aquatic creatures live in the inner city?" Gao Jian raised his eyebrows.

Shui Cangcang said, "How is that possible? The place in the inner city is called 'Dragon Palace Ruins in front of Baishan River'. The current Dragon Palace is in the upper reaches of Baishan River, about 30,000 miles away from Cangzhou City. It's out of Cangzhou. It's very difficult for me to make this trip for you."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Shui." Gao Jian bowed and expressed his gratitude.

Shui Cangcang waved his fan and said, "It's okay. I'm helping you because I see that you're a good and capable person. I like dealing with good and capable people, so I don't have to worry about being cheated, whether it's intentional or unintentional."

"Does Mr. Shui also like good people?" Gao Jian asked.

"Look at what you said. Is there anyone in this world who doesn't like good people?" Shui Cangcang asked back.

"Everyone likes good people, so why doesn't anyone become a good person?" Gao Jian asked again.

Shui Cangcang was silent for a while, then he opened his folding fan, took a sip of tea, and said, "It's hard to be a good person, so it's best if someone else can be one. It would be best if I were the only one in the world who was not a good person."

"If everyone thinks this way, are there any good people left?" Gao Jian said.

"So that's what I mean." Shui Cangcang looked outside with emotion.

"Mr. Shui, you're a good man too." Gao Jian smiled.

"Okay, stop putting the blame on me. You've already wasted my tea. There's no use saying nice things to me. Go quickly. Thirty thousand miles is a very far way. Even your Pegasus will take ten days or half a month to run." Shui Cangcang waved his hand.

Gao Jian nodded and said, "Then please remember to lock the door, Master Shui. I'll be leaving first. Please keep an eye on the outer city. I feel relieved when Master Shui is here."

Gao Jian said nothing more, turned around and left, rode on the dragon, and without much delay, flew into the air.

The fat gained from walking around finally found a place to be put to use.

Just leaving when you want to, has a sense of "cool and carefree".

Shu Cangcang, who stayed where he was, held a teacup in his hand and looked out at the blue sky through the hut.

The sun is shining and the breeze is blowing gently.

Ever since a new batch of gods came into the outer city, the weather has become much more pleasant. This kind of weather can relax people's body and mind.

Even beggars like this kind of weather.

This is the credit of Gao Jian.

I haven't done anything yet, but Gao Jian says I'm a good person. This is really unbearable.

The cost of being a good person is too high. As the eldest grandson of the Shui family, he is not qualified to be a good person.

laugh.

Shui Cangcang drank the tea in his hand in one gulp without bothering to savor it.

Then he put away the tea set.

There were no servants to help him with chores today, but this was actually better. He didn't like to bring the servants along when communicating with Gao Jian.

Put away the tea set and lock the door.

Gone, back to the inner city.

Let’s not fly today and walk from the outer city.

The outer city isn't that smelly now.

----------

The sky is vast, and Gao Jian will have this feeling even more when he rides on a dragon in the clouds.

It was very beautiful and spectacular, and even though riding the horse was tiring, he couldn't help but admire it.

Really beautiful.

The scenery of the Divine Dynasty was completely different from the world in his memory.

This world is so magnificent and vivid!
How to describe it?
Hmm... Gao Jian thought for a long time and finally came up with an adjective.

'Beyond'.

That’s right, transcendence.

Everything here has a more prominent character.

The mountains will be more 'mountains'.

The big river will become even bigger.

The trees are greener, the animals are wilder, and even the colors are more vivid.

It was as if the impression of everything was intensified.

Compared with the "mountains" in the original world, the mountains here are even more "mountainous".

Thicker, taller, more magnificent.

Everything is like adding a layer of filter to the original world, just like the difference between what is shot in reality and what is seen on video.

What you see on video will be more vivid.

To put it in Gao Jian's words, the scenery of Zhangjiajie suddenly turned into the scenery of Avatar.

One is a prototype, the other is much more grandiose.

Everything has become more vivid and more distinctive, not to mention... there are real practitioners and various sacred peaks on the land of the Divine Dynasty.

Gao Jian could see someone flying on a sword passing by him. There were slow-moving flying boats in the sky, as well as various swift mounts. Gao Jian was not bad among them, but he was definitely not the most eye-catching one.

The sacred peak floating in the sky is looming in the cover of clouds.

There is a rainbow across the sky, and above the rainbow you can see some skylarks pecking at the rainbow gas.

There was a giant tree ten miles high. If Gao Jian had not been riding on the dragon, he would not have even noticed that he was under this tree. The huge tree roots blocked a section of the river like a dam.
The tree stretches across the sky and earth, and its branches are so broad that it is no problem to build a town on it.

Gao Jian even saw a huge waterfall falling from the sky while flying. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that it was a river falling from the sky, and that river seemed to have descended from an even more magnificent sky.

This river from the sky fell to the ground and turned into a lake. The lake branched into several rivers, stretching for an unknown number of miles and becoming one of the sources of Cangzhou's water network.

Gao Jian wanted to go up and see what was higher up, and find out where this Milky Way came from. However, when he flew to a height of about fifty miles, there were strong winds and thunder in the sky, covering the sky and preventing him from moving forward.

The gale was so strong that it could almost shatter rocks, and the power of the thunder was also enormous. If he forced his way up, he would probably get hurt, so Gao Jian chose to give up.

But he could see that there was an even more magnificent ship sailing in the sky. The ship was probably more than ten miles long. It completely ignored the strong winds and thunder, and sailed calmly in the sky fifty miles away.

Flying in the sky, Gao Jian can see these things every moment.

In this vast Cangzhou, there are countless wonders, and all of these are clearly telling Gao Jian one fact.

This is not the original world.

The thing that impressed Gao Jian most was that he still hadn't seen the horizon.

The horizon is the line where the sky and the earth meet when looking horizontally. This is because the earth is round, so you cannot look infinitely beyond the surface of the earth. There is always a place where the sky and the earth meet.

And here... there is no horizon. It seems that as long as your eyesight is strong enough, you can keep looking to the horizon.

This gave Gao Jian an immature idea.

This place...can't it be that the sky is round and the earth is square?
Is the earth a completely flat surface? So as long as the vision is strong enough and the target is large enough, you can see things infinitely far away?

It's like looking at the universe.

Those stars are tens of thousands or even billions of light years away, but the light they emit still reaches the earth.

In this land, if there is a mountain that is high enough and big enough, then no matter how far away you are, you can see the shape of the mountain directly.

Gao Jian’s eyesight is simply not strong enough now, so the distance is too far, and because of the obstruction of air and other things, he cannot see far away.

All of this showed Gao Jian the magnificence and grandeur of this world, and suddenly gave him an idea.

After the matter in Cangzhou is over, he wants to go out and see the world.

He wanted to climb the highest mountain and the deepest sea in the world, to see the most magnificent wonders, to see the wind and clouds, and to witness these miraculous scenes before his eyes.

As soon as he thought of this, Gao Jian suddenly felt a sense of heroism!

He just felt a burst of joy and couldn't help but let out a long roar!
Zoulong seemed to have sensed Gao Jian's mood, so he followed suit and made some rhythmic sounds. Horses neighed and people howled, and suddenly the sky felt clear and the earth bright!
Look at the beautiful terrain, stretching from sky to earth, with turbid waves pouring down to the east, thunder roaring in the sun, drums beating for thousands of miles, mountains winding and winding, lush and green, and the rivers and mountains majestic.

You should know that this world is not an ordinary world, it has its own mysteries and mysteries!

What a magnificent landscape! I should go and see it!
As I thought of this, the rusty knife became sharper without me noticing!
However, after the heroic act was over, Gao Jian still rode the walking dragon back to the ground.

Nothing else, just rest your legs.

The walking dragon can soar into the clouds, but this is not the same as flying. Instead, it means that it can walk on the clouds and step on the clouds as if they were solid ground, which is no different from walking on the ground.

Moreover, his hooves have their own clouds, which means that he can fly in any situation.

This and flying each have their pros and cons.

The advantage is that there is no need to switch the action logic. Gao Jian and Zou Long do not need to learn additional air combat skills, such as the falling leaf maneuver and the cobra maneuver. They can just run in the sky the same way as on the ground.

The downside is... it's a bit tiring.

Because dragon walking is still using friction and reaction force to run, so your butt will definitely shake. Riding a horse is a very tiring job, and if you don't stand in a horse stance, your brain will be shaken out.

If he were to do horse stance, even though Gao Jian now had plenty of physical strength, he would still feel tired after doing it for a whole day at the speed of a dragon traveling two thousand miles a day.

Alas, I should have chosen the white horse.

Is it Bai Lian? Or Xue Lian?
Forget it, too lazy to think about it.

Anyway, he now wanted a horse that wouldn't shake, preferably one he could lie on and sleep on.

In the past, I often saw people falling asleep on horses, but now I think that was not falling asleep, it was coma or shock. Otherwise, who could sleep with such shaking and strong winds?

For this reason, Gao Jian had to dismount and rest after running for a while.

After about two hours, I rested for about ten minutes and slowly shook my numb legs.

But apart from this, he still felt that this trip was worth it.

If he had not ridden on a walking dragon, left the vicinity of Cangzhou City, and traveled thousands of miles across this fertile wilderness and vast sky, he would have had no chance to see these things.

Now that I think about it, it must be because there is an air ban near Cangzhou City, so these things should all go around Cangzhou.

In this way, Gao Jian rushed for ten days.

During the ten days, the dragon sometimes sped up, sometimes ran for two more hours, anyway, it ran more than two thousand miles every day, and finally arrived at the 'Baishanjiang Dragon Palace' after ten days.

It is said that this is the second Dragon Palace, the first one is actually in the capital of Cangzhou.

However, after the rise of the Divine Dynasty, the army crushed the original monsters in Cangzhou, because the original Dragon Palace was in such a good location, which happened to be the place where all the tributaries of the Baishan River converged, so they were driven out.

After being driven out, these dragons found another place, which was the largest source of the Baishan River. They rebuilt the Dragon Palace here, keeping a distance from the capital of Cangzhou.

The scale of the Dragon Palace here is naturally not as good as the one in the inner city of Cangzhou, but it is said to be also amazing.

Gao Jian had seen many wonders along the way, but he was still very interested in how magnificent the Dragon Palace was.

Ten days have passed.

Zoulong had almost lost all his fat, and had regained his majestic and strong appearance, though he looked a little tired.

Although he didn't run at full speed in the past ten days, Gao Jian was not so impatient as to spare no effort, but he was still unhappy after running for so long without eating much.

"Come on, you idiot, don't look so grumpy. We'll give you a snack when we get to Dragon Palace. If you don't behave heroically enough, people will treat you as an ordinary horse and feed you hay." Gao Jian scolded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zoulong shook his horse and clouds suddenly appeared on his hooves. His mane stood up, his neck was raised high, and fire was spewing from his mouth and nose, with thick smoke all the way.

This kid is showing off.

But Gao Jian also happened to show off. He straightened his official uniform, straightened his sword, smoothed out the wrinkles on his body, and hung up the jade pendant.

Words can suppress a gentleman, and clothes can suppress a villain. Dressing a little more powerfully can suppress many small soldiers and crab generals.

Between tidying up...

We’ve arrived at Dragon Palace.

　There may be a second update today. If there is, it will be during the day. I don’t know when. I will try my best to code it out. I cut my finger while cooking, so my progress was a big failure. If there is no update, then there will be one tomorrow. There will definitely be one tomorrow.
