Chapter 607: 607 Powerful Penglai Saintess! [1 more]

Mount Penglai, as one of the orthodox inheritances of Shenzhou Taoism Technique, possesses countless magical treasures.

Among these treasures, three magic artifacts stand out as exceptionally powerful.

The first one is the Vajra Cover, which can withstand any physical attack, protecting a large city with a population of ten million at its maximum range.

The second one is the leading treasure among the three, the Summoning God Banner, also the founding treasure of Mount Penglai.

Taoist arts can naturally communicate with the Yin Yang Five Elements, and their powers are far superior to those of the Psychic.

The Summoning God Banner does not actually summon gods, but it can, to the greatest extent, communicate with the powers of Heaven, Earth, Yin, Yang, and the Five Elements, allowing the forces of all things under heaven to be utilized by its wielder.

However, precisely because the Summoning God Banner is so potent, very few people are capable of using it.

Penglai Saintess Yue Zheng was the first who could wield the Summoning God Banner.

Ye Wanlan once speculated that Yue Zheng must have played a crucial role in the Battle of Ten Thousand Armies three hundred years ago.

Because the Summoning God Banner could tap into the forces of Heaven and Earth, it might be indispensable for driving back those enemies.

The last item is the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl.

As its name suggests, the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl can stabilize the capricious sea for a certain period, including the Nanling Sea.

Although the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl lacks any attack and defense capabilities, just its ability to stabilize the sea alone suffices to rank it among the three sacred treasures of Penglai.

After the Battle of Ten Thousand Armies, both Penglai and Beiming factions vanished without a trace, and no one has entered Mount Penglai till now, all these treasures remained unseen.

Why did the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl descend from the sky at this moment and land here?

Ye Wanlan’s eyes narrowed even more.

She did not act rashly, but quietly stood at the edge of the giant pit, waiting for the black smoke to dissipate.

After a full five minutes, the black smoke finally dispersed completely.

Within the pit, a deep blue pearl lay quietly.

Xing Yue’s pupils contracted as she quickly pulled out a small notebook from her pocket and flipped through it.

The notebook contained various patterns, clearly depicting the magical treasures of Mount Penglai.

"Found it!" Xing Yue turned to the last page, reading word by word, "Ocean Stabilizing Pearl, one of the three sacred treasures of Penglai, capable of quelling the fury of the sea. Possessors of this pearl can travel freely under the sea, but beware, the Nanling Sea will exert a force that depletes vigor exponentially..."

Ye Wanlan nodded.

In the lifetime of Princess Yongning, she had already seen the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl, but according to the Penglai elders back then, they seldom brought the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl into the Nanling Sea.

For the more powerful the magical treasure, the more inner strength it consumes.

And if there is not enough inner strength to support the treasure’s function, a more intense backlash will occur.

"My god, Ah Lan!" Xing Yue gasped after reading the notebook, "Could this really be the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl? But how could it appear here?"

"I do not know," Ye Wanlan’s expression became slightly solemn, "Stay here, I’ll go down and take a look."

"Ah Lan!" Before Xing Yue could stop her, Ye Wanlan had already leaped down.

A height of thirty feet is nothing for someone skilled in Qinggong; Ye Wanlan reached the bottom of the pit with ease.

She walked slowly forward, approaching the deep blue pearl, and gradually crouched down.

Seconds later, Ye Wanlan reached out to touch it.

And the moment her index finger touched the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl—

"Whoosh!"

The deep blue pearl suddenly burst into intense light!

Ye Wanlan’s vision was instantly devoured by this dazzling light, and then it dimmed.

"Thud! Thud! Thud—"

Familiar, ancient bell sounds rang in Ye Wanlan’s ears.

These bell sounds, like some divine music descending from Heaven, gradually dispelled the darkness.

When her vision cleared again, Ye Wanlan saw Mount Penglai.

Not the current Mount Penglai, sealed by formations, but the flourishing Mount Penglai from three hundred years ago.

Ye Wanlan was not mistaken; this Bronze Bell was indeed the one from Mount Penglai.

Before the Bronze Bell, a woman dressed in a moon-white robe sat on a meditation cushion, meditating.

Her beauty was ethereal, not of this mundane world.

A gem dangled from her forehead, softening her cool features somewhat.

Suddenly, her eyes snapped open.

As she stood up, those around her also rose to their feet.

"Saintess!"

"What did the Saintess see?"

Yue Zheng raised her head and slowly spoke eight words: "Mountains of corpses, seas of blood, Hell on Earth."

The expressions of everyone from Mount Penglai drastically changed.

Didn’t these eight words signify... that Shenzhou had completely fallen, beyond salvation?

"I’ll go to the Beiming Sect, you all descend the mountain now," Yue Zheng said indifferently. "Do you know what we must do?"

The crowd exchanged looks, their expressions resolute, and in unison, they said, "We understand!"

"Good," Yue Zheng slightly smiled. "If we’re lucky, we’ll meet again soon."

With a flutter of her sleeves, she disappeared from her spot.

The next second, Yue Zheng appeared at Mount Beiming.

Mount Beiming and Mount Penglai were not far apart, only separated by a long river and a large rift valley.

So close, yet seemingly worlds apart.

The moment Yue Zheng appeared, she alarmed the Beiming Sect’s Elders Council.

"Saintess, the Sect Hierarch is currently in seclusion," the Great Elder of Beiming Sect hesitated. "We also cannot awaken the Sect Hierarch ahead of time."

"Mm," Yue Zheng’s expression remained unchanged. "If he leaves seclusion and I’m still alive, tell him he can come find me or save the remaining people."

The expression of Beiming Sect’s Great Elder drastically changed.

"If I am dead, then let him stay far away," Yue Zheng said lightly with a smile. "Because this time, the enemy... is beyond our power to deal with."

These words made the Beiming Sect’s Great Elder even more fearful. "Saintess..."

Although the Beiming Sect seemed like irreconcilable enemies with Mount Penglai, both sects understood each other’s strengths very well.

Yue Zheng’s power was nearly that of an Immortal, probably only Tower Master of Highest Heaven Tower could suppress her.

Could she really say such words?

Yue Zheng did not say more, ready to leave Beiming Sect.

"Senior sister," just then, a gentle and refined voice spoke up, "How could Beiming not follow where Penglai leads?"

With a ’swoosh’, a tall and straight figure appeared in the air.

This was the current Beiming Cult Leader, Xing Yun.

He was extraordinarily young and handsome, his brows and eyes seemed to be coated with moon glow, exuding an aura of sanctity and elegance that involuntarily enticed those who gazed upon his face.

He was born handsome, possessing an excellent appearance, but if anyone was truly beguiled by his looks, they would fall into an irretrievable plight.

"Sect Hierarch!" The Great Elder of Beiming Sect immediately knelt on one knee, "Greetings, Sect Hierarch!"

Yue Zheng stopped walking, slowly turned around, and met Xing Yun’s gaze.

Xing Yun smiled, "The very moment senior sister arrived, I woke up. They could not awaken me, but senior sister could."

Even in deep seclusion, he had left the last sliver of opportunity for Yue Zheng.

"Junior brother—" Yue Zheng’s expression was complicated as she softly said, "You don’t have to come."

But Xing Yun’s smile deepened, "Consider it accompanying senior sister one last time."

They had contended and fought for a lifetime.

Love, hatred, emotions... at this moment, perhaps, meant nothing anymore.

The road to Huangquan Netherworld Path is long and remote, accompanying each other, not alone.
