Chapter 357: The 353rd picture, this killer is so scary_2

If that’s really the case...

Qin Shou slapped his palm and exclaimed, "Damn! Could it be that Earth is a miniature of the Earthly Immortal Realm?"

The Earthly Immortal Realm is divided into four continents, four large land masses, which are meticulously sorted—if we liken it to Earth, then it would seem to consist of the continents of Eurasia, Africa, North and South America, as well as Antarctica. As for Australia... in Qin Shou’s view, it could be categorized as one of the larger islands. The Earthly Immortal Realm seems to have those kinds of overseas islands as well..."

Qin Shou scratched his head and said, "Could it be that there really is a correspondence? And that ’Tao Te Ching’ of mine actually has effects in this world too. The stupid rabbit died, but I was brought here by Wu Gang... Perhaps, Earth is not as far away as I thought. Between Heaven and Earth, in the Macrocosmic Realms, with countless smaller worlds, it’s possible that my little world is right beside me."

Thinking of this, Qin Shou felt his heart grow warm. After all, Earth was also his homeland. Now that he was considered half an Immortal and even had the status of a Heavenly God, going back would certainly be a triumphant return!

When that time comes, he could also show off to those classmates who often bragged in front of him, and the ’kids from other families’, flaunt a little!

The goddess he didn’t dare pursue in the past, he could also take a stroll in front of her...

Of course, what mattered most to Qin Shou was to visit Old Master Qin’s grave.

This was Qin Shou’s true concern. He had died, and since Old Master Qin had no other relatives, Qin Shou was really afraid that the grave would be forgotten by people, or that some bastard would level it...

The more he thought about it, the more anxious Qin Shou became in his heart...

He was lost in his wild thoughts when he vaguely heard the sound of bugles in the distance. Subconsciously, he pulled back the curtains of the carriage to look out, and his eyes suddenly lit up!

Indeed, the surroundings were different from outside!

Qin Shou directly crawled out of the carriage, sitting atop its roof to look around!

He saw that Yunmeng Marsh was indeed as legendary as the rumors, with lakes everywhere. A glance swept over the shimmering ripples, reflecting the golden sunlight, as if treasures were scattered everywhere, with gold covering the ground—absolutely beautiful!

In the lakes, there stood solitary mountains that were not especially large. They couldn’t be considered particularly large compared to Mount Everest on Earth, but when compared to the mountains here, measured in tens of thousands, they could only be called hillocks.

These mountains were strange: they weren’t continuous, but stood alone here and there, similar to the scenic beauty of Guilin.

These mountains seemed to be sentinels, or like bamboo shoots thrusting out of the ground. The mountains had bamboo and other vegetation, and one could hardly see any paths or homes, probably due to the terrain deterring people from living up there.

But near the base of the mountains and by the lakeside, one could occasionally see a few households, with smoke curling up from their chimneys, adding a touch of human life to the beautiful scenery.

However, what truly made Qin Shou’s eyes shine was the different orientation of the mountain ridges here compared to those outside!

Qin Shou had seen the photos of the scenic beauty of Guilin, which was very elegant, and the mountains here were also elegant. However, instead of growing vertically, these mountains were like twisted triangles or like individuals stooping!

The most peculiar thing was, all the mountains here took that same posture, collectively bending in one direction!

It looked as though the mountains were worshiping in one direction!

Following the direction of the mountains’ worship, Qin Shou looked into the distance and saw a tall mountain, towering into the sky, piercing through the clouds! The clouds fell and, in the sunlight, turned golden as if a golden imperial robe draped over the mountain! The clouds moved with the wind, and within the mist, one could vaguely see a Divine Dragon roaming, a White Tiger roaring, as if hundreds of phoenixes were flying!

Truly, it dazzled one’s eyes and simultaneously evoked a sense of awe in the heart!

Even the usually high-spirited Qin Shou could not harbor any mischief towards this mountain and couldn’t help but bow in a salute, meanwhile, looking up at the peak, Qin Shou discovered that it was shrouded in clouds, completely obscured from view. He couldn’t help wondering, could this mountain be a person standing there?

Could it be that Emperor Shun was not buried in the earth but stood there and ascended into an Immortal?

Reeling in his thoughts, Qin Shou looked at the mountains kneeling in worship around him and recalled Wenqu’s exclamation, "Ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains bow to Jiuyi!"

It was only now that Qin Shou understood the meaning of that phrase; weren’t these rivers and mountains exactly bowing to Jiuyi?

"Is this the imperial grandeur? Indeed, it’s extraordinary," reflected Qin Shou.

At that moment, the sound of the horn rose once again, and Qin Shou spurred his carriage, flying towards the direction of the horn. After bypassing two small hills, at last, Qin Shou arrived at the foot of Jiuyi Mountain’s Shunyuan Peak!

There he saw a huge city with black tiles and white walls at the base of the mountain! Qin Shou didn’t know the exact size of the city, but it encircled Shunyuan Peak, the tallest and most majestic mountain, like a king among its peers.

At the same time, Qin Shou noticed that this enormous city was different from other ancient cities—it had no walls!

Surrounded by a river, there was a white jade stone bridge on each of the four cardinal directions. Outside each bridge, two guards stood, and a bustling crowd hustled back and forth, creating a scene of vibrant activity.

Quite unlike other cities, which were typically guarded by a staunch armed force, with cultivators at the gates and Revealing Mirrors hanging, creating an atmosphere of martial law.

"Bro, there’s no city wall here, and I didn’t see any traces of formations. Aren’t they afraid of being attacked by some morally corrupt demons, ghosts, or evil cultivators?"

Just then, a woman’s voice with indistinguishable ’C’ and ’CHI’ sounds rang out nearby.

Qin Shou instinctively looked over and saw two figures standing on a black cloud, one male, and one female, both clad in black and wearing bamboo hats. To be precise, one was a brawny man, the other a loli!

The duo seemed desperate to advertise themselves as assassins, with a bold and enlarged character for ’kill’ emblazoned on their chests and backs!

The loli sat directly on the brawny man’s shoulders, short-haired, donning a bamboo hat, from which a small length of black veil hung, just covering her mouth so that the details of her face remained unclear. However, her rounded chin was visible, clearly suggesting a baby-faced contour.

Even the black veil couldn’t hide the brightness of her large eyes beneath it. With just a glance, Qin Shou felt as if he saw an enlarged character reflected in her eyes—pretense!

That’s right, upon one look at the loli, Qin Shou’s first impression was that she was pretending!

This little one seemed to be trying hard to present an indifferent demeanor to life and death, ferocious in appearance, but the lack of murderous intent was obvious within the depth of her eyes. In plain terms, she might appear to be a dreaded slaughterer, but in reality, she might never have killed so much as a chicken.

The lisp heard just now was likely this little loli’s voice.

As for the brawny man, whether he was simply stoic or slow-witted, it took him quite a while to respond after the little girl’s continuous questions, finally speaking with a deep and sonorous voice, "This is Emperor Shun’s tomb, the cradle of virtue for all the people of the world. Who would dare to offend? If someone attacks Lingling Ancient City, they’d be the enemy of all humanity. Even the Heavenly Court above the nine heavens would not let such an act go unchallenged. I’ve heard that once, a Great Golden Immortal level Dragon Demon thought about attacking Lingling Ancient City. He merely boasted about it, but the next day his dragon head was hanging on that pole outside the city!"

During this explanation, the brawny man pointed towards a rusty, kilometer-high iron pillar outside Lingling Ancient City!

Such a thing on Earth would surely count as one of the wonders of the world, but here, compared to the size of a dragon, this pillar was indeed just a pole.

At the top of the iron pole, blood flowed; with the blowing wind, the dragon’s blood seemed to transform into small dragons that roared outwardly.

Rune after rune lit up on the iron pole, turning into chains that trapped these little dragons on the pole, creating a most eerie spectacle.

The little girl was startled but still tried to appear calm, looking disdainfully below to bolster her courage, "I’m like a ’killer’! Cold-blooded and merciless ’killer’! I’m not afraid!"

Despite her words, the little girl’s legs trembled slightly...

The brawny man patted her head, "Don’t be afraid. That’s the blood of a Great Golden Immortal level Dragon Demon. Although the dragon is dead, its blood still contains its resentful will, striving to break free from its shackles, and yearning to transform into a dragon once again."

PS: Well, at last, I’ve written a Chapter that’s four thousand words long.
