605: Chapter 624 Little Yan Mountain 605: Chapter 624 Little Yan Mountain The Earth Immortal Realm!

An expanse stretching boundless across four states and four seas, the true extent of the Earth Immortal Realm eludes definition, ranging from the Thirty-Three Heavens up high to the eighteen levels of the Netherworld down low, and even to the mythical yet manifest extremities of Heaven and Earth.

Despite the immortals’ endless lifespans, they might never traverse the entirety of the Earth Immortal Realm.

Western Continent, Little Yan Mountain!

Teeming with green hills and winding waters, the Little Yan Mountain is a picturesque locale devoid of demonic creatures or lingering immortals, housing only beasts and birds yet to awaken their spiritual wisdom.

Indeed, it could be deemed an earthly paradise.

Nestled within the borders of Fan Jia Country, which spans millions of miles, this land is populated by both common folk and Buddhist practitioners alike.

Regardless of their status, all residents devoutly worship the Buddha, holding the Western Lingshan as the ultimate sacred site in their hearts.

However, Fan Jia Country is merely a mid-sized state on the Western Continent, whose extensive territory encompasses countless nations and several sacred Buddhist sites including the Thunderclap Monastery; the cradle of Buddhism spans the Western Continent.

Despite its status as the birthplace of Buddhism, the Western Continent staunchly excludes the Taoist lineage and dismisses the presence of demons and spirits — forces believed aligned with evil.

Exceptions persist across the vast territories of the Western Continent, where some great demons reside, practicing both sorcery and Buddhist laws.

If such beings achieve enlightenment, they could attain the status of a Bodhisattva Buddha.

Thus, the Thunderclap Monastery sometimes turns a blind eye to these demons.

The great demons able to survive in the Western Continent are all highly cultivated, with some having intricate ties to the Western Lingshan.

Amid complicated relationships, this ensures a stable evolution of the Western Continent.

While incidents of demons consuming humans occur sporadically, as long as they are not excessive, the Thunderclap Monastery generally disregards them.

Besides these great demons, the area hosts numerous formidable beings like Zhen Yuan, the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, whose Daoist site, Wuzhuang Temple, is situated in the Western Continent, and Kong Xuan, the Peacock Great Ming King, who also has his site there.

Randeng Buddha, Tathagata Venerable, and all the notable Buddha Bodhisattvas maintain their sacred sites within the Western Continent.

Apart from these well-known figures, there are also some low-profile individuals in Buddhism, such as Golden Cicada and the Fighting Saint Buddha.

Although they do not establish their own sites, they possess great divine powers but have scarcely been seen by beings of the Three Realms in many years.

The Thunderclap Monastery in Western Lingshan, founded by the Western Two Saints, boasts an undeniable might.

Nevertheless, apart from the monastery, there exists numerous influential and unchallengeable Daoist lineages within the Western Continent.

Ling Tai Fangcun Mountain, Three Star Cave!

This name is unknown to many; even across the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind, few are aware of this Daoist lineage, yet those who know of this place can’t help but feel reverence.

For within Three Star Cave dwells one individual known as Xu Puti, revered as Master Puti!

Xu Puti, a name that merges Buddhism and Taoism, dons a Taoist’s attire and follows Confucian ethics, mastering various divine techniques from both Taoism and Buddhism, and all philosophical schools.

He is the sole individual to cultivate all Three Religions, reaching Heavenly Great Divine Power.

Dual cultivating Buddhism and Taoism and versed in all schools of thought, Master Puti is profoundly mysterious, seeming to know every cultivation technique between Heaven and Earth.

Yet, Master Puti remains unseen in the Three Realms and is barely known by most; through countless eons, regardless of earth-shattering events occurring in the Three Realms, Master Puti never appeared before the eyes of their inhabitants.

Whether it was the great cataclysm of the Dragon and Phoenix, the fierce battles between Witch Demons, or even the saints intervening during the Sealing God Tribulation, the Fangcun Mountain in the Three Star Cave remained untouched by worldly karma and no one had ever seen Master Puti take action.

Those who knew of Xu Puti, knew he was in the Quasi-Saint Realm, but how powerful Xu Puti was among the Quasi-Saints had always been a mystery.

Fangcun Mountain, Three Star Cave, a name eternal as the heavens.

Perhaps the beings of the Three Realms were unaware, but one of his disciples was well-known across the Three Realms; he was the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, who once caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace and later became the Fighting Saint Buddha.

However, this secret was rarely known, and only a handful of people knew that the Fighting Saint Buddha was a disciple of Xu Puti, solely because Xu Puti had forbidden that monkey from ever mentioning he was his disciple.

Xu Puti had many disciples, but not a single one claimed to have taken him as a master, so his name was rarely known by outsiders.

However, at the foot of Fangcun Mountain, some mortals knew there was an old Immortal in the mountain who could teach the art of Cultivation and inquire about the Dao.

From time to time, sincere mortals would climb the mountain to enter the Three Star Cave, the only tale that spread beyond the mountain.

Xu Puti, a Quasi-Saint, neither competed nor fought.

He neither propagated the Daoist lineage nor did he involve himself in the strife of the Three Realms, making him an extremely mysterious figure among the Quasi-Saints.

Western Continent, Xiao Yan Mountain!

Green mountains rolled continuously, ancient pines lush and verdant.

A breeze stirred, bringing with it the fresh scent of grass and wood, coupled with the chirping of birds, it turned Xiao Yan Mountain into a secluded paradise.

A valley, an ancient pond, a thatched cottage, and nothing more.

Cling!

The ethereal sound of a zither rippled like waves of water, the melodious tones echoing throughout the valley, causing ripples to dance across the pond.

The music seemed to pause but did not cease, resembling an Immortal melody from the Nine Heavens washing away the sorrows of all creatures, causing birds to perch silently on the branches listening, and countless fierce beasts to prostrate themselves deeply in the forest, lost in the music.

A man, a zither!

The man was solitary, the instrument a nine-stringed zither.

These threads of musical notes flowed from his hands; whenever he plucked the strings, the sound, beautiful like the ringing of spring water, spread throughout the valley.

Ye Xuan, dressed in black, his gray-white hair hanging behind his head.

A gust of wind caused his hair to flutter, his jade-like fingers plucked at the strings as if he were completely immersed in his own music.

Cling!

The music stopped, all was silent, birds awoke from the trance of the music, beasts roared softly coming to life in the forest.

Yet all creatures were sentient, Ye Xuan’s zither seemed to awaken their spiritual wisdom, causing birds and beasts to prostrate on the branches and in the forest as if they were humans worshiping Ye Xuan.

Swoosh!

The verdant leaves rustled, birds flew from the woods, beasts ran free.

Although they had just awakened their spiritual wisdom, they knew not to overly disturb the immortal in the valley, sending them scattering on their own.
