The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 986: Chapter 986: Journey to Xuanyuan Mountain

However, attending the ceremony as a guest, Shen Mo was quite interested.

The groom selection event of Xuanyuan Luan was personally officiated by Xuanyuan Tongzhen, an ancient immortal who lived for over a million years. Even true immortals would show him respect; it is anticipated that the event will be immensely grand, with countless great cultivators and even true immortals gathering at Xuanyuan Mountain. It might just be the greatest event in Phoenix Continent in a thousand years!

Seeing Shen Mo agree, the Jade Spring Fairy smiled slightly. Then her Spiritual Qi-formed avatar dissipated slowly like a breeze.

Half a month later, the Jade Wheel Palace emerged from the Green Cloud Cave Heaven, enveloped in a hazy immortal light, heading towards Jade Spring Mountain.

This time, on the journey to Xuanyuan Mountain, Shen Mo brought over a thousand members of the Red Flame Sect, ranging from newly promoted Inner Door disciples in the Qi Gathering realm to high-level Divine Bridge cultivators. Chen Mengze and Lady Scarlet were also in the entourage, along with Qian Xiaofeng, who was brought back from venturing outside with the Spirit Storage Rat.

Leveraging this grand event, the Red Flame Sect might establish connections with more cultivation forces, spreading its immortal marketplace across the entire Phoenix Continent, acquiring more cultivation resources for the sect and himself.

Even just broadening the horizons is beneficial, aiding in the disciples’ cultivation...

While passing Jade Spring Mountain, immortal lights surged on the mountain, and a phoenix chariot treasure vehicle emerged from the waves of immortal light, driving side by side with the Jade Wheel Palace towards Xuanyuan Mountain. This treasure vehicle was precisely the conveyance-type magic treasure of Jade Spring Fairy.

Soon, Jade Spring Fairy sent a message, asking Shen Mo to join her for a drink and philosophical discussions.

...

Entering the phoenix chariot treasure vehicle, Shen Mo saw that the interior space was incredibly vast. The carriage of this treasure vehicle was clearly a spatial treasure, spanning several miles, with white clouds drifting above and palaces and streams below, and spiritual gardens. Jade Spring Fairy was seated upon the cloud, attended by more than ten beautiful fairy maidens.

These fairy maidens were not her disciples but cultivators within her Jade Spring Cave Heaven. Jade Spring Fairy only imparted cultivation methods to them without managing their growth meticulously, hence they had no notable cultivation level or combat power.

”Qingyun Friend is here, you may leave now!” Jade Spring Fairy smiled and dismissed those around her.

”Such an elegance from the Fairy, enjoying fine wine even while traveling.”

Slightly glowing in spirit light, Shen Mo appeared upon the cloud, sitting opposite to her.

Immediately, he felt immortal charm flowing around, and upon looking up, his eyes brightened. He saw Jade Spring Fairy had withdrawn the immortal light from her face, revealing her stunningly exquisite and transcendent true appearance.

It was his first time seeing Jade Spring Fairy’s true visage, prettier than he imagined, embodying countless beauties within one person, yet dignified and graceful, bearing an ineffable mystic charm beyond ordinary female cultivators, making any description seem pale and inadequate!

Normally, Jade Spring Fairy concealed her true appearance not for the sake of mystery or authority but to prevent those with insufficient cultivation level from having their understanding of the Great Path distorted, thereby affecting their future path!

Previously, Shen Mo had even battled Qing Sheng Yuan Monarch’s Dharma Body, his cultivation level was high enough, hence Jade Spring Fairy felt no need to hide anything before him.

”Qingyun Friend, who is more beautiful, this fairy or your Dao companion?”

Seeing Shen Mo with a dazed look, Jade Spring Fairy gleefully teased him with a smile.

Such words carried a hint of jest between friends, naturally because after fighting alongside the Yuan Monarch’s Dharma Body, Shen Mo had showcased considerable strength, earning Jade Spring Fairy’s regard as a peer!

”The Fairy is a celestial being above, while my dear wife is the celestial being in my heart, so it’s hard to compare.” Shen Mo withdrew his appreciative gaze and said with a grin.

Jade Spring Fairy seemed quite pleased with this answer, her eyebrows arching slightly, making the small world appear brightened.

”Friend, this is a thousand-year-old immortal brew I’ve treasured, do give it a taste. If its flavor pleases you, perhaps we could delve into your understanding of the ’Divine Light Spell’...”

The ”Divine Light Spell” was a cultivation method Shen Mo had obtained from Old Demon Wuji in the Dragon Claw Realm, originally stemming from Guangyuan Zi, an Earth Immortal with myriad incarnations. Since it landed in Shen Mo’s hands, it naturally would not be returned unchanged to Guangyuan Zi. Upon returning from the Lower Realm, he exchanged the ”Divine Light Spell” with Jade Spring Fairy for a technique of equal rank!

Currently, Jade Spring Fairy wished to discuss this cultivation technique with him, likely having insights and realizations from practicing it and wanted to exchange thoughts.

With the Destiny from ”Martial Performance” aiding him, Shen Mo had long cultivated the ”Divine Light Spell” to the ”Reaching the Peak”, and hence was unafraid of discussing philosophy with Jade Spring Fairy, and after sipping some immortal brew, he eloquently shared his insights from cultivating the spell!

...

The two engaged in both drinking and philosophical discussion.

As the conversation deepened with growing intoxication, they could not help but engage in spell practice and sparring using the ”Divine Light Spell”.

Only when the journey was halfway did Jade Spring Fairy allow Shen Mo to return to the Jade Wheel Palace.

Initially, when they were unfamiliar, Shen Mo did not know Jade Spring Fairy was so fond of wine. Only as their relationship deepened did he discover she was quite the ”immortal wine aficionado”, hence before leaving, he intentionally left several jars of spiritual wine brewed from the Drunken Immortal Pot for her!

With the time acceleration within Jade Pool Zone, over the years, the Drunken Immortal Pot had brewed a substantial amount of spiritual brew. Although two to three thousand years in age, it still could not compare to Jade Spring Fairy’s cherished aged brews, but it excelled with the pot’s inherent mystic qualities, providing ample spiritual essence and medicinal potency, and tasting exceptional!

As the Jade Wheel Palace and the phoenix chariot drew nearer to Xuanyuan Mountain, they frequently witnessed bursts of immortal light and various phenomena, encountering more and more fellow cultivators heading towards Xuanyuan Mountain from all directions. Most of them were well-known Xian Dao powerhouses from Phoenix Continent, with some from other immortal continents like Dongjie Continent, Cangwu Continent, Zhuji Continent, Kunlun Continent, etc.

Shen Mo even saw groups of True Dragons, soaring through the clouds and mist, each one exuding powerful aura, and among them were two seventh-order True Dragons. Wherever they passed, other escaping light and conveyance-type treasures all avoided their path.

After all, the True Dragon clan ranks among the top few large clans within the ten thousand races of the Immortal Realm;

Especially these thirty-odd True Dragons, evidently originating from the Kunlun Continent’s True Dragon Ancestral Land, incomparable to the True Dragons within Phoenix Continent’s Hidden Dragon River, even casual True Immortals dare not offend them!

Just then, Shen Mo sensed a familiar yet strange aura, not waiting to use ”Insight into All Beings” to investigate, he saw a fifth-order True Dragon fly out from the True Dragon group, heading directly towards the Jade Wheel Palace. This caused the strong figures within the palace to secretly become vigilant!

”Please remain calm!” Shen Mo circulated his senses to reassure everyone in the palace, then deactivated the formation prohibition enveloping the palace.

The next moment, a flare of demon light surged from the fifth-order True Dragon’s body, and a familiar figure, known to all, emerged from the light, it was Cao Ren, who had not been seen for over two hundred years!
