Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 596 The Heavenly Emperor's Son, the Elixir of Immortality, Emperor House Tree!

"Langya Heavenly Realm!?"

"This is the Langya Heavenly Realm..."

All four families wore expressions of astonishment, their eyes filled with barely concealed shock.

[Nothing more, this Langya Heavenly Realm is related to a legendary elixir of immortality.]

Fu Dongcheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he slowly said, "The Emperor's Tree grows within the Langya Heavenly Realm."

[The ancient text *Classic of the Great Wilderness, Eastern Section* records that thirty million li away from Kunlun, there is a mountain called Langya Heavenly Realm, which is covered with coral trees.]

"In its shade grows the trees of the Imperial Palace, whose leaves are like phoenix feathers, layered like clouds covering the top, as glittering as gold, and possessing seven colors."

"Its fruit grows in pairs, with two stems attached. When ripe, it falls to the ground and turns into smoke, resembling an infant."

[Legend has it that the youngest son of the ancient Heavenly Emperor drowned in the Yellow Springs. The Heavenly Emperor, overcome with grief, sent a divine owl to carry away a tree from the Emperor's house.]

"The son of the Heavenly Emperor was thus reborn."

Recalling the towering tree from earlier, Yuan Shujian couldn't help but ask, "Didn't Junior Brother Fu say earlier that those big trees were sand trees?"

Fu Dongcheng nodded slightly.

Upon hearing this, the people of Fangcun Mountain were both shocked and delighted. They were shocked because the words "elixir of immortality" far exceeded their expectations. Even celestial-grade spiritual medicines were enough to shake the fate of a realm, let alone such a divine object that existed only in legends and possessed almost the power of creation. They were delighted because such a divine object was actually appearing before their very eyes, making them almost doubt that it was a dream.

For a moment, both the disciples of Fangcun Mountain and the members of the Blood Sea Demon Sect could not hide their excitement, yet they also became more wary and cautious of each other.

Yao Xia looked at a young man with curved eyebrows and eyes in the Longquan Sword Sect and said, "Fei Chen, come and identify this stone tablet."

Yun Feichen stepped forward in response, observed carefully for a moment, and said slowly, "Senior brother, it is indeed the four characters 'Langya Heavenly Realm.' According to the Daoist Canon, in the past, the Heavenly Emperor, in order to save his son, not only sent a divine bird to bring the Imperial House Tree, but also transplanted it into the Heavenly Court's medicinal garden and named it—also called 'Langya Heavenly Realm.'"

[It seems to match up a bit more: the sandalwood tree, the Heavenly Emperor's garden!]

Yao Xia nodded upon hearing this, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. He then turned to look at Sun Miao, the senior disciple of Fangcun Mountain, his meaning clear.

Sun Miao did not respond immediately. Instead, he turned his gaze to you and raised his voice, "Junior Brother Zhou, what do you think?"

"Is this place... truly the Langya Heavenly Realm?"

Upon hearing this, the people of Fangcun Mountain all looked towards the young man in blue in the group.

The members of the Longquan Sword Sect were all surprised to see this—such an important matter required the advice of a disciple who was only at the Dao Embryo Realm?

Only Yun Feichen seemed to understand: It seems this young man is the one in the Fangcun Mountain team who knows the ancient secrets; no wonder he was able to enter this Heavenly Emperor's Treasury.

[You pondered for a moment, then gently shook your head. "This place is undoubtedly the Langya Heavenly Realm, but whether it contains the elixir of immortality... remains unknown."]

The members of the Longquan Sword Sect and Fangcun Mountain frowned upon hearing this. If it was the Langya Heavenly Realm, why might the elixir of immortality not exist there?

You continued, “The *Classic of the Great Wilderness, Eastern Section* does indeed record that the youngest son of the Heavenly Emperor died in the Yellow Springs, so he took the Emperor's House Tree to restore his life.”

[You paused slightly, then changed your tone, "However... later, in the ancient relics unearthed, there are annotations in the brocade book, which also records an anecdote: The youngest son of the Heavenly Emperor was named Danling. After dying and being resurrected, he fled into the Yellow Springs, where he gathered millions of demons and monsters, rode corrupt dragons and black serpents, and raised an army to rebel against Heaven. Banners obscured the moon, drums shattered the abyss, and he sought to break through the ninefold heavens."]

"The Heavenly Emperor was enraged and summoned thunder and fire to strike the Yellow Springs. The battle lasted three days, and blood flowed for thirty thousand miles. Danling was defeated and fled, imprisoned in the Langya Heavenly Realm."

Qi Ling looked puzzled: "Dan Ling, the son of the Heavenly Emperor, was saved by the Heavenly Emperor, so why would he rebel against his own father? Isn't this a contradiction? Moreover, since he had already drowned in the Yellow Springs, why did he immediately flee into the Yellow Springs after being resurrected?"

[Fu Dongcheng seemed to realize something and was about to answer when he heard a clear, cold voice coming from not far away:]

"This is because the Heavenly Emperor's youngest son, Danling, is a member of the Yellow Springs Clan, one of the ancient great clans, whose bloodline origins are all connected to Youdu."

"And the Heavenly Emperor's eldest son came from the Langya clan."

Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice, and the speaker was none other than Yue Yunqing of the Supreme Dharma Sect, a woman of goddess-like beauty.

You nodded slightly and said slowly, "The Huangquan Clan and the Langya Clan are indeed ancient great clans. The Huangquan Clan rules the Netherworld, while the Langya Clan is even more extraordinary—legend has it that they possess two immortal herbs, one is the Diwu Tree, and the other is the Fusang Tree."

[Legend has it that the Heavenly Emperor married nine wives, all from ancient noble families, and each bore him a son.]

Upon hearing this, the crowd seemed to understand but not quite, their expressions of doubt deepening.

[Yue Yunqing looked at you with her bright, clear eyes, and said softly, "This fellow Daoist is very knowledgeable. I only heard my master mention such ancient secrets, and I never imagined that there were others in the world who knew them."]

You simply smiled and said, "You flatter me, Fairy. I only happened to see it in the ancestral master's collection of books in the Imperial Capital years ago, and I never dared to believe it completely. Today, with your personal confirmation, Fairy, I know that what is recorded in the ancient books is not false."

At this moment, the four sects are gathered at the stone tablet, and your conversation can be clearly heard by everyone, immediately attracting their attention.

[Yue Yunqing's gaze narrowed slightly as she continued, "Of the nine sons of the Heavenly Emperor, six once raised armies in rebellion against Heaven, and three... ultimately committed suicide."]

She paused slightly, then continued, "Legend has it that the eldest son of the Langya clan also rebelled against the Heavenly Emperor, but later fled back to the Langya clan. The Yellow Springs clan launched a military campaign against him, and the entire Langya clan was wiped out. The Heavenly Emperor was enraged, and the Yellow Springs clan perished."

[You concluded in a deep voice: "With the Yellow Springs destroyed, the Heavenly Emperor swept across the six directions, establishing the Divine Court, and from then on, overlooking heaven and earth."]

The people present were not fools; they naturally understood the deeper meaning behind the words.

In ancient times, powerful clans coexisted, including many who claimed to rule over all immortals. Even the Heavenly Emperor, in his meticulous establishment of the Heavenly Court, had to be mindful of the whims of these powerful clans.

[From a later perspective, the Emperor's marriage to a woman from a powerful clan was a calculated move—to instigate internal strife within the clan and ultimately achieve his goal.]

Yue Yunqing sighed softly, "Although the Heavenly Emperor achieved an everlasting legacy, none of his descendants met a good end."

"Even now, later generations do not know the final whereabouts of the Heavenly Emperor... Did he perish, or did he transcend?"

[Yet you saw in this heretical fairy's eyes a genuine sorrow for the Heavenly Emperor and his offspring, not feigned.]

[A slight surprise crept into her heart. The Holy Maiden of the Supreme Dharma Sect was certainly no innocent "naive flower," yet she still possessed such an ethereal, pure, and compassionate nature.]

[Gazing upon the abundant medicinal herbs growing here, you slowly say, "The Daoist scriptures record that this ancient Heavenly Emperor often traveled among mortals, witnessing the suffering of all beings, and wept alone."]

Seeing that you were chatting happily with Yue Yunqing, who was usually very taciturn, and that all eyes were on you, making you the center of attention, Li Luosheng couldn't help but say impatiently, "The Heavenly Emperor is so noble, having experienced so many earth-shattering events, yet you shed tears alone? That's utterly absurd!"

"The people of Fangcun Mountain are far too arrogant!"

[This Blood Sea Demon Sect's holy son spoke with a seductive, demonic tone, his voice subtly imbued with magical power, surging towards the group from Fangcun Mountain like a tidal wave.]

Although the disciples of Fangcun Mountain were caught off guard by Li Luosheng's sudden attack, they did not panic.

Sun Miao frowned, and his Tai Su True Qi flowed out effortlessly, forming a barrier to block the demonic sound.

At this moment, half a foot of blood-red light suddenly burst from Li Luosheng's eyes, shooting straight at the weakest-cultivated young man in blue from Fangcun Mountain who had just spoken.

[In the blink of an eye!]

The young man in blue, however, remained calm, his gaze as still as a deep well, looking directly at Li Luosheng, seemingly oblivious to the terrifying flash of blood. The incident happened so suddenly that none of the people from Fangcun Mountain had time to react.

[But then a startling sword intent slashed through the air, instantly shattering the blood-red light!]

Seeing this, Li Luosheng snorted coldly: "Yaoxia, you certainly know how to meddle in other people's business."

[The Longquan Sword Sect's swordsman, with two fingers together, sword energy still flowing at his fingertips, smiled calmly.]

"How can the matter of the Holy Son be considered a trivial matter?"

Li Luosheng's gaze, sharp as a knife, fell back on the young man in blue, and he asked coldly, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

You ignored Li Luosheng and turned to Yao Xia and Yue Yunqing, saying, "Thank you, Sword Master Yao Xia... and Fairy Yunqing."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a faint, azure, glass-like light swirling in Yue Yunqing's palm.

Clearly, even if Yao Xia hadn't intervened, Yue Yunqing would have still offered assistance.

The fairy maiden Yun Qing spoke calmly, "No need to thank me, I didn't intervene."

She looked up at you, her voice still as cold as frost: "The truth of ancient times is indeed shrouded in mystery, but I also believe it to be true what you just said about the Heavenly Emperor weeping. Only those who are pure and true can attain the supreme Dao."

You replied, "What the fairy says is absolutely right."

Seeing this, Li Luosheng's expression grew even more gloomy: "You don't really think Fangcun Mountain can protect you forever, do you?"

Sun Miao stepped forward at the opportune moment, his voice steady: "It seems that Saint Li intends to stage a scene here."

Yao Xia also stepped forward with a light laugh: "I've heard that the Holy Son has been in seclusion for many years, diligently cultivating the 'Blood Sea Netherworld Demon Art.' I, Yao, would like to experience it for myself."

Li Luosheng licked his lips, and his aura suddenly exploded. Behind him, blood clouds surged endlessly, and countless twisted faces struggled and screamed within them, resembling a floating sea of ​​blood and abyss.

[Yue Yunqing spoke calmly: "Fellow Daoist Li, the Langya Heavenly Realm has already appeared before us. Let us discuss our grudges later."]

Upon hearing this, Li Luosheng's extremely handsome eyebrows twitched slightly, the surging demonic energy around him gradually subsided, the sea of ​​blood behind him also receded, and some color returned to his pale face.

He chuckled softly, "Yun Qing is absolutely right."

Li Luosheng turned to Yao Xia and Sun Miao, his gaze icy: "Once we leave the Heavenly Realm, this Holy Son will give you the opportunity to properly experience the Blood Sea Netherworld Demon Art."

Hearing him address her directly as "Yunqing," Yue Yunqing frowned slightly, but ultimately remained silent.

In the blink of an eye, their auras vanished, as if the tense standoff had never occurred.

[Li Luosheng suppressed his murderous aura and led the Blood Sea Demon Sect members to meet with the Supreme Dharma Sect.]

You coldly observe Li Luosheng, known for his "violent" nature, as he goes from launching a sudden attack to quietly withdrawing, seemingly gaining no advantage whatsoever.

However, the recent turmoil allowed them to ascertain the bottom lines of the three factions, further revealing Yue Yunqing's level of importance placed on Langya Heavenly Realm, and even facilitating a brief alliance between the Blood Sea Demon Sect and the Supreme Dharma Sect.

This holy son is no ordinary person!

As for Li Luosheng's true attitude towards you, you can clearly see it in his eyes... he sees you as an ant and doesn't care about you at all.

Meanwhile, Yao Xia and Sun Miao were still discussing whether they should ascend the golden chains to reach the Langya Heavenly Realm.

During the previous investigation, two black and white pythons were seen coiled up; whether there are other dangers lurking within remains unknown.

But with the elixir of immortality right before their eyes, no one was willing to give up so easily.

At that very moment—

[Yue Yunqing and Li Luosheng have already led their troops into the air, flying straight upwards along the chains!]

Yao Xia's eyes cleared of all distractions, and he said resolutely, "The opportunity is right before my eyes; how can I let it slip away? As a cultivator and a swordsman, there is absolutely no reason for me to back down!"

Sun Miao, without further hesitation, said to the group from Fangcun Mountain, "However, you must proceed with extreme caution when heading to Langya Heavenly Realm."

Everyone immediately responded. Qi Ling, Feng Qingge, and the others were already very determined, and although a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Qi Yunfeng, Ji Heng, and the other two, they did not voice any objection.

So the group returned to the same spot.

You accompanied them, yet a vague unease stirred within you, a strange and inexplicable feeling lingering.

The black and white snakes within Langya Heavenly Realm exude an inexplicable eeriness!

[If the white snake hadn't just slightly revealed its cultivation level, the group would never have ventured into this place again. Initially, they all thought it was a true spirit dwelling here, but it turned out to be just a beast at the Dragon Court realm.]

The disciples of the Blood Sea Demon Sect and the Supreme Dharma Sect have already stepped into the passage opened by the golden chains.

You then slowly descended, landing in the same spot you had been before.

A dense forest of ancient, towering trees, their branches and leaves blocking out almost all sunlight, made the forest dark and damp.

The ground was covered with fallen leaves, exuding a dull, rotten smell.

The Blood Sea Demon Sect members are cautiously exploring ahead, following the path you just took, and flying at low altitudes on their magical artifacts.

[Your choice to closely follow the two main groups and advance gradually is currently the safest strategy.]

However, they were more cautious than the previous four teams, and their speed was also considerably slower.

~

Deep within the Langya Heavenly Realm, the secluded forest is serene and quiet.

Suddenly, an indescribable, towering ancient tree stood majestically.

Its trunk is like that cast in gold, while its branches and leaves flow with seven-colored light. Its leaves are like the feathers of a phoenix, dancing lightly in the wind, layer upon layer like clouds covering the top.

A transcendent and sacred aura permeated the dim, dense forest.

Two giant pythons, one black and one white, coiled among the trees.

The black python perched high in the treetop, its vertical pupils coldly gazing down at the uninvited guest who had once again intruded.

On the other side, a giant, snow-white python with thin wings on its back coiled around a branch, greedily devouring the golden fruits that had formed on the tree.

The fruit was like a baby.

P.S.: Ladies and gentlemen, autumn is here, it's getting cold, so please keep warm and avoid catching a cold!
