The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

In the land of Bashu, there is a very mysterious tribe called Shilan. Shilan is the name of a plant with extremely strong vitality. This tribe is known as Shilan, but few people in the world know about it. In addition, they have a more famous name: the Shushan tribe.

……

Deep within the clouds and mist lies the true location of Mount Shu.

Although Jiang Chuan's current place of seclusion is in the mountains and rivers of Shu, and is not too far from the Shu Mountain tribe, it cannot be considered the true Shu Mountain in the real sense.

Only the place where the Shu Mountain tribe resides, the place concealed by the formation, is the legendary Shu Mountain.

The hibiscus tree stands atop Mount Shu, its leaves swaying gently, shimmering with golden light.

Furthermore, streams of light emanated from it, enveloping the entire area where Mount Shu was located.

Jiang Chuan once again ascended the Shu Mountain region today.

Also present were Ru Shuang, Zi Nu, Lady Mingzhu, Nong Yu, Gongsun Liji, Xue Nu, Hong Lian, Lady Xiang, and the gradually blossoming Yan'er; it was a riot of color and beauty.

These women were all extremely beautiful, and they had a close relationship with Jiang Chuan.

She is either Jiang Chuan's confidante or has a close relationship with him.

Aside from a handful of people like Zi Nu and Ru Shuang, many of them were climbing Mount Shu for the first time.

Upon seeing the location of the Shu Mountain tribe and the real Shu Mountain, some people were quite surprised.

Lady Xiang was the one who was surprised.

The other women did not know anything about Mount Shu, nor were they clear about what Mount Shu meant.

Lady Xiang, on the other hand, was originally the elder of the Water Department of the Yin-Yang School. She was naturally very clear about the origins of the Shu Mountain tribe, whose lineage was extremely ancient, much older than that of the Taoist and Agricultural Schools.

In the past, the Yin-Yang School betrayed the Taoism because they obtained some of the Shu Mountain's inheritance...

During this process, the Yin-Yang School seems to have offended Mount Shu, and the two schools have since become enemies.

When Jiang Chuan brought her to the Shu Mountain region, she had guessed his background and concluded that he was from Shu Mountain and had gone to Xiaoxiang Valley to take revenge on the Yin Yang Family.

Unexpectedly, the place where Jiang Chuan lived was not the real Shu Mountain.

The real Mount Shu looks like this.

Lady Xiang gazed at the Fusang Divine Tree, her beautiful eyes sparkling, "Is that the legendary Fusang Divine Tree?"

Even though she was still a long way from the Fusang Divine Tree, she could feel the magnificent power it contained.

Immediately afterwards, she withdrew her attention and stood beside Jiang Chuan, watching what the Shushan tribe was doing.

Today is an extremely special day for the Shushan tribe.

It was the day they selected new guardians of Yu Yuan.

In addition to that, there is one other crucial thing.

That was the day when the Holy Maiden of the Shu Mountain Clan was officially appointed.

The Fusang Divine Tree originated from the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, and its power is extremely yang and strong. However, within the Shu Mountain tribe, there is actually an extremely yin and gentle power that only women can bear.

Furthermore, the person carrying it must have a special physical condition.

Therefore, over the long years, not every generation of Mount Shu has had a Holy Maiden.

0.5

Many years ago, a girl was born into the Shu Mountain clan. She possessed an extremely special constitution. She was the granddaughter of Yu Jun, the Great Elder of Shu Mountain. Because of her special constitution, Yu Jun gave her an extremely special name.

"Yu!"

The name Yu means rain. In the past, the ancestors of Shu Mountain met the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden in the rain and were reborn. Yu is very special to them. It does not originate from Yu Yuan. Rather, the name Yu Yuan comes from the place where they lived. Yu Yuan means the abyss guarded by the Yu clan.

Yu Jun named his granddaughter Yu, which shows how much he valued her. After seeing her birth, Yu Jun had a feeling that his granddaughter might lead the Shu Mountain clan to another peak.

Chapter 404 Crisis at Mount Shu

Over the years, Mr. Yu has devoted himself to teaching his granddaughter.

Granddaughter Xiaoyu did not disappoint him. She was extremely talented in the cultivation of Shu Mountain magic. Due to her special physique, as long as she continued to cultivate step by step, she would one day be able to bear another power left by the Great Goddess of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. With that power, she could perfectly manipulate the power of the Fusang Divine Tree, ensuring that Shu Mountain remained safe and sound during the decades she existed.

Although Mount Shu has always been hidden away from the world, Lord Yu was still worried about the possibility of outside forces invading Mount Shu, even in times of peace.

It should be understood that times have changed.

Although the Shu Mountain clan lives deep in the mountains, they are aware of the situation in the world.

The Qin state had already unified the world, and that emperor was ambitious.

No one knows whether the Shu Mountain clan will face pressure from the Qin state.

In order to protect Mount Shu, Mount Shu must have the ability to protect itself.

In this era, another holy maiden was born in Shushan, which is truly a blessing for Shushan.

After inviting Jiang Chuan and his friends to witness the birth of the Holy Maiden of Shu Mountain and the event of Xiao Yu becoming the Holy Maiden.

Yu Jun then warmly entertained Jiang Chuan and the others.

A grand gathering of 27 people took place in Shushan. After the banquet, Jiang Chuan left Shushan with the women.

After instructing the Shilan clan members to clean up the mess, Yu Jun then found his granddaughter, Xiao Yu, alone. Xiao Yu was only a little over ten years old and not very old. Originally, Yu Jun did not intend to make Xiao Yu a saintess so quickly, but would give her more years to grow.

However, some time ago, the Fusang Divine Tree acted strangely, and through divination, he learned something.

That is, the Shu Mountain clan may soon encounter a great disaster.

Although Xiao Yu is young, her physical condition destined her to be extraordinary.

She will have to shoulder the responsibility of protecting Mount Shu sooner or later.

Therefore, Yu Jun still chose to make the current Xiao Yu the Holy Maiden of the Shu Mountain Clan.

"Grandpa, what did you want to see me about?" Xiao Yu asked her grandfather, Yu Jun, with a curious expression.

Yu Jun reached out and patted Xiao Yu's head, saying, "Xiao Yu, now you are the Holy Maiden of my Shu Mountain Clan, and you are qualified to know some of our Shu Mountain's secrets."

"Our Shushan Shilan clan has a lineage dating back to ancient times. In the past, when Chiyou caused chaos and the land was scorched, the goddess Jiutian Xuannv appeared and saved our ancestors. However, since then, our clan has also had an additional responsibility: to guard Yuyuan."

"Although the name Yu Yuan comes from my clan, the things that exist within it existed before my clan."

"To help us protect Yu Yuan, the Great Goddess of the Nine Heavens moved the Fusang Divine Tree from Tang Valley. Since then, this tree has become the sacred tree worshipped by our clan throughout the ages, and it has also given our clan great power."

"But what you don't know is that, in addition to the Fusang Divine Tree, the Goddess of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden actually gave our clan another power."

"This power can only be possessed by the Holy Maiden of my clan."

"Now that you have become the Holy Maiden of my Shilan Clan, it is time for me to pass on this power to you."

As he spoke, Yu Jun took out an exquisite box from his person.

Xiao Yu took the box, and with Yu Jun's tacit approval, she opened it.

Upon opening the box, one was surprised to find an exquisite piece of jewelry—a dazzling gemstone.

"It is the tear of a goddess. Long ago, the goddess of the Nine Heavens descended to earth and, seeing the suffering of humankind, shed a tear of compassion. The tear fell to the ground, nourishing all things, and then transformed into this gem."

"Within it lies a powerful force, which only the Holy Maidens of Shu Mountain throughout the ages can obtain."

"I hope you can master this power as soon as possible!"

Yu Jun's words were very solemn.

At this moment, Xiao Yu did not understand the worry in Yu Jun's words.

After speaking with Xiao Yu for a while, Yu Jun asked Xiao Yu to leave.

As Xiao Yu left, Yu Jun sighed, "I don't know how much longer I can hold on. I hope my divination was wrong."

……

Not long after the grand ceremony at Shushan ended.

A large army quietly arrived in Shu.

They searched all over the Shu region, seemingly looking for something.

"It's the army of Meng Tian from the Qin state!"

Jiang Chuan lives in seclusion in the Shu Mountains, seemingly detached from worldly affairs. However, in reality, he still has an extremely powerful force under his command, which can act as his eyes and ears, allowing him to know many things.

"It can't be just Meng Tian's army, can it?" Jiang Chuan asked in a deep voice, looking at Madam Mingzhu who was reporting the news to him.

The Nightfall organization did not disappear after the fall of Korea. Instead, it broke up into smaller, secretive groups, hiding in the shadows of the world. The one who helped Jiang Chuan take control of Nightfall was none other than Madam Mingzhu.

Madam Mingzhu nodded, then said solemnly, "It seems there are traces of the Yin-Yang School within it..."

"Meng Tian's army, the Yin-Yang School, I roughly know what they're planning to do."

"Shushan!"

Jiang Chuan didn't keep them in suspense and directly revealed the purpose of Meng Tian's army and the Yin-Yang School.

"The Yin-Yang School is preparing to take action against Mount Shu!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Mingzhu's expression changed slightly.

Over the years, having lived next to the Shushan tribe, she has developed a rather positive impression of them.

613 If what Jiang Chuan said is true, the Yin Yang School is preparing to take action against Mount Shu with the help of the Qin State, which is not good news for them.
