第三千六百五十八章 瑶池入口

The Rain桐 Realm was vast and filled with countless extraordinary individuals. The fairy cities dotted the landscape, but no one knew how many cultivators lived there. (())

Qingye City was just one of these numerous fairy cities, located in the western part of the Rain桐 Realm, spanning only ten thousand miles.

Only a million or so cultivators resided here on a permanent basis.

Though the number was considerable, most were low-ranking cultivators.

The majority were at the Foundation Establishment and Core Condensation stages. High-ranking existences did exist but were exceedingly rare to see.

Even if they occasionally passed through, most just stopped for rest and continued their journey.

This was because while Qingye City had abundant resources, its unique flowers and minerals were mostly suitable only for low-ranking cultivators. High-ranking existences rarely found anything of value here, so they seldom lingered.

However, this was a blessing in disguise. Qingye City lived in peace, making it one of the oldest fairy cities in the Spirit Realm.

Recently, however, the tranquility of Qingye City was disrupted by an old monster at the middle-stage Tribulation Transcendence realm.

Tribulation Transcendence was the pinnacle that all cultivators aspired to. Even though the Rain桐 Realm defied conventional logic, such existences were still extremely rare in proportion.

For most cultivators, these beings were figures to be admired and revered, much like seeing a dragon only from its head.

Although this old monster likely just passed through, it still excited the local young cultivators who felt they had exceptional talent. Some even wanted to seek him as a teacher.

They knew the chances of being accepted were slim, but what harm was there in trying? What if he took a fancy to them?

Even becoming an unregistered disciple would be a stroke of luck.

While such thoughts weren’t entirely wrong, they were bound to remain mere fantasies.

When they arrived at the inn, they found it empty; the old monster had vanished. Disappointment was inevitable, but only a few held such unrealistic hopes. For Qingye City as a whole, this was just a minor interlude.

Everyone assumed that things would return to normal, but no one expected what followed. Less than three days later, another unexpected guest arrived in Qingye City—this time even more bizarre: an old monster at the late-stage Tribulation Transcendence realm.

Was something wrong? Although the Rain桐 Realm was ranked first in the Spirit Realm for having many Tribulation Transcendence existences, those who reached the late stage were truly rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Late-stage existences had already broken free from the constraints of lifespan. Each possessed powers that were unfathomable to gods and demons alike.

Their rarity meant their movements remained elusive and mysterious.

Why would such beings come to Qingye City?

Even if they just passed through, this explanation seemed too far-fetched.

The cultivators in Qingye City grew uneasy. No one dared to seek out the late-stage existence as a teacher; the thought was too grand for them.

Everyone watched with interest, knowing that high-ranking cultivators often had unpredictable temperaments. Accidentally offending such an old monster could bring disaster upon Qingye City.

Fortunately, their fears were unfounded. The unknown late-stage monster soon left, and Qingye City returned to its tranquil state.

But the peace was short-lived. In the following months, high-ranking cultivators kept appearing in Qingye City—none below the Tribulation Transcendence stage.

Was something wrong? These old monsters were hard to come by; now they seemed to be gathering here en masse.

The local cultivators of Qingye City were amazed and apprehensive. While a few might have coincidental reasons, so many late-stage existences appearing simultaneously suggested there was a reason.

Could it be that some rare treasure had appeared?

This was the most plausible explanation, but the cultivators in Qingye City could only envy such treasures from afar.

No matter how alluring the treasure was, one needed to live long enough to enjoy it.

With so many late-stage monsters arriving here, hoping to compete with them for a chance at the treasure would be as foolish as trying to pluck feathers from a tiger's head. It was sheer folly.

None dared to act on such thoughts. Even if they somehow managed to obtain something, the dangers of holding onto such wealth were well known.

Fortunately, these late-stage monsters did not bring any disasters to Qingye City; over time, everyone gradually adapted.

...

It was an ordinary morning in Qingye City when a startling flash of light appeared on the horizon. Initially distant, it moved with astonishing speed and soon arrived at the outskirts of the city, where it hovered above the ancient fairy city. Lin Xuan’s face showed a hint of relief as he had traveled for two months to reach this place.

According to the invitation, the entrance to the Penglai Peach Blossom Festival was here.

Penglai was located in another space and its entrance constantly shifted. Its current location here explained why so many late-stage monsters were rushing here.

With these thoughts, Lin Xuan flicked his sleeve, and a jade talisman about the size of his palm flew out. He pointed at it with his finger.

A green light appeared and entered the middle of the jade talisman.

Then, this treasure emitted a brilliant glow, transforming into a fiery dragon that flew away.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan was not alarmed but rather pleased. This must be the entrance. Without hesitation, he followed after it.

After a short while, Lin Xuan arrived at a valley.

Looking around, the entire mountain was green, but there was no sign of any beastly presence. It was just an ordinary valley.

However, the fiery dragon stopped here and transformed back into the jade talisman, hovering in mid-air.

"Could the entrance be right here?"

Lin Xuan’s face showed a hint of doubt. On the surface, nothing seemed amiss. Closing his eyes, he released his immensely powerful divine sense.

Yet, there was noharvest!

Lin Xuan’s expression turned slightly surprised.

He believed he had a profound understanding of spatial laws but still couldn’t find Penglai’s entrance. This was truly inconceivable.

"Rainy Mist Commercial Alliance is indeed formidable."

Lin Xuan sighed. Without the invitation, entering Penglai would have been an impossible task.

His anticipation for the Peach Blossom Festival grew even stronger.

Without further ado, he began casting spells with his hands moving like butterflies. Spell after spell was directed at the jade talisman in front of him.
