Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 711 Yun Mengze

Daji unfolded the pages of the Book of Life and Death and showed them to Deng Chanyu.

Deng Chanyu took a closer look and said, "Deng Jiugong, the life span is 354. Wasn't that the one I changed in the beginning? What's the problem?"

Daji shook her head: "Your eyesight is indeed not good, take a closer look!"

Deng Chanyu scratched her face and said, "To be honest, I really don't see any problem."

Daji pointed at the strokes in the Book of Life and Death and said, "Before, I could see the traces of your additions. Now, don't the characters seem to blend seamlessly? It's just like Uncle Deng, cough cough, our father was born to live to 354 years old."

Deng Chanyu genuinely didn't see any problem with this. "It's natural for divine weapons to become easier to obtain, and for those with virtue to possess them. I modified it before, but now it's innate. Perhaps it's just a reward from humanity. Don't overthink it, just sit tight, I'm accelerating!"

The little episode with the Book of Life and Death passed quickly. Deng Chanyu was thinking about the essence of Guishui and repeatedly ordered Mo Qilin to speed up.

The Yunmeng Lake in the ancient world covers a vast area with dense water networks. It was the territory of the ancient god Yun Zhongjun.

This is the oldest god, of the same generation as the King of the East and the Queen Mother of the West. This Lord Yunzhong had many divine duties at that time, including the God of Clouds, the God of Wind, the God of Moon, the God of Thunder, and he was also the land god of Yunmengze. Don't think that the land god is of low rank when you hear it. In ancient times, managing a certain area was like being a king or a local emperor. The laws of this area were all controlled by local gods, and outside gods could not interfere at all.

According to legend, Yun Zhongjun is handsome and elegant, possessing the spirit of heaven and earth, and is a first-class male immortal. If you really don't have any idea, you can imagine him as Yun Zhongjun in Honor of Kings.
"My two fellow Daoists, Yunzhong Jun's residence is eighty miles ahead. You have come from afar to seek immortal fate, so you should go and pay your respects to Junhou."

An immortal wearing a bright red robe, embroidered shoes and graceful steps was talking. If you ignore his full beard and thick eyebrows, he seemed to be a very friendly immortal.

Deng Chanyu and Daji nodded like little chickens pecking at rice: "Okay, okay, yeah, yeah."

After the female-dressed immortal left, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Daji asked in a low voice: "Why are the immortals here like this?"

Deng Chanyu was also caught off guard just now, but she has recovered now. It's just women's clothing, not a big deal: "Maybe it's just that cultivating immortals here is too boring, so...so they want to try everything. This is understandable, right?"

Folklore suggests that ascending to heaven in broad daylight leads to a blissful and fulfilling life as an immortal. But what about the reality? For tens of thousands, even millions of years, one's own magical power remains unchanged, and no matter how hard one cultivates, there's no hope of reaching a higher level. This can be a deeply distressing experience.

Li Youxian, the protagonist of [Bian Er Chai], was "study-loving and valuing moral integrity" when she was young. Later, her family fell into poverty, and she sold herself into the secular world. She met Kuang Shi, a "chivalrous and helpful" man, and married him as his concubine. When Kuang's family was ransacked, she disguised herself as a Taoist nun and raised orphans. After Kuang Shi's son became the top scorer in the imperial examination, she left, went into the mountains to practice Taoism, and finally ascended to heaven in broad daylight.

This person is a typical immortal. His life span is too long. Cultivating immortality is too boring and he has nothing to do, so he simply reincarnates into the human world to suffer. After some tossing and turning, he returns to cultivating immortality after gaining some insights.

Deng Chanyu thought this was normal. Mr. Ma had even dressed as a woman to chat with people back then. It was only natural for immortals to dress as women in order to pursue their "Tao" and experience the various aspects of the human world. Daji whispered, "That kind person just now said that Yunzhongjun's cave is eighty miles ahead. Let's avoid it."

Deng Chanyu looked at the jade slip that Yunxiao gave them. The Yun Zhongjun marked on it did not seem to be in the position in front of them. Yunxiao should not have made a mistake, but she had not been to Yunmengze for many years. This Yun Zhongjun was both the God of Clouds and the God of Wind. He floated around freely and went wherever he wanted. It was even questionable whether the immortal eighty miles ahead was Yun Zhongjun. How could such an old immortal not have fallen by now?

The immortal in women's clothing was also a little abnormal. She was even weaker than Fajie and was at best a terrestrial immortal. She was completely unable to discern the true realm of Deng Chanyu, the golden immortal. She actually thought that they were mortals who came to seek immortality. Her eyesight was truly invincible.

Deng Chanyu nodded: "Okay, let's go around it."

They found a fork in the road and continued to head deeper into Yunmengze.

A hurricane that would never stop was swirling in the depths of Yunmengze, bringing with it a large amount of moisture. Even if they rode on the clouds, the surrounding mist would greatly affect their spiritual perception.

"Found it, it's just ahead."

Deng Chanyu's eyesight was much worse than before, but his perception ability had greatly and extraordinary improved. His telepathy could not only listen to living beings, but also listen to the veins of the earth and the sounds of the sky. Yun Mengze's voice was a little chaotic, but with the help of Yun Xiao's jade slip, they still successfully found the ancient immortal cave.

Deng Chanyu and Daji descended from the clouds. This cave was exactly the same as Yunxiao had described, simple and ancient. There was a symbol on the gate that looked very much like the Kan hexagram in the Eight Diagrams. Outside the cave was an exquisite formation. From a distance, it seemed that the formation contained an extremely rich essence of water.

The essence of Guishui is in the deepest part of the cave. Just some of the water essence that escaped from the formation has slightly touched the bottleneck of Deng Chanyu's Water-walking Divine Light.

Good place!
Unlike the undeveloped Jade Emperor Heaven world, and the Jade Glazed World that has been damaged to the brink of collapse, the scale of the cave in Yunmengze cannot be compared with those worlds, but this is a cave from the ancient times, and after the acquired adjustments by the ancient immortals and Yunxiao, the essence of Guishui can be absorbed and cultivated, and the main feature is convenience.

To use eating as an analogy, Yuhuangtian and Yu Liuli are like starting the stove, buying groceries, chopping wood, making fire, and cooking. You have to do all the work yourself, and it takes a lot of trouble before you can have a bite of hot food. Yunmengze is takeout, you don't have to worry about chores, you can just eat it as soon as it is served on the table.

Farming, planning, and developing your own world bit by bit is the right way to go, but you should not reject such short-term gains.

Daji carefully examined the formation at the door and fainted within an incense stick of time. This formation was too complicated. With the formation knowledge she learned from Empress Pingxin, she could not solve it even with Yunxiao's "answer".

Empress Pingxin, who came from the witch clan, is indeed not good at formations. If she were to use a big axe to chop it directly, it should be possible to split it, but it would be difficult to dismantle it bit by bit without damaging the structure of the formation.

This cave belongs to Yunxiao. They invited you to their home for dinner. No matter how good your relationship is, you can't smash down their door. That's inappropriate.
