Free Web NovelChapter 1216: Chapter 941: Going Home (Part 2)
Everyone felt the ground beneath their feet tremble slightly, but there was no rumbling sound, as if it was carrying a group of people flying through the void.
"Do you mean the Divine Mountain will carry us back home?" Bai Yunqi was bewildered, thinking how much spiritual energy would be consumed.
Jiang Yuan hadn’t spoken yet when Shi Hu shook his head and said, "Impossible! I specifically asked Miss Tang earlier. This virtual space travel spans not just thousands of miles, and for such a massive Divine Mountain to leap this far to reach the human world, the spiritual energy that has just been restored would be exhausted."
The lark chirped in protest, "This is the Divine Mountain! The Kunlun Divine Mountain! It can definitely fly back!"
"Even if it is the Divine Mountain, the consumption must be considered, as spiritual energy isn’t created out of thin air."
"This is the Kunlun Divine Mountain. It naturally generates immortal energy; mere spiritual energy can’t be consumed?"
......
The fact that there were too many people made the chatter overwhelming, so Jiang Yuan didn’t even get a chance to speak, as the cultivators with the closest contractual ties started to argue.
Then the gray progress bar completed, and the hazy mist gradually retreated. He coughed twice to remind them, "Please say a bit less, we’re home already."
The chatter abruptly stopped as Ling Di, who was previously barking, sniffed, looked up, and pointed with a paw at the sky, "We’re truly home! Look, isn’t that Leng Yutang and Xie Chenyuan?"
At the same time, the cultivators who stayed in the small courtyard felt the earth rumbling a moment before and rushed out to inspect.
Then they saw a vast field under the lower layer below the courtyard, with endless majestic mountain peaks. Before they could react to what happened, they heard cheering.
"Grand Master Yan Xuan!"
"Shi Hu!"
"Mr. Jiang and his group have returned!"
"Gosh... Could it be they’ve moved the entire Divine Mountain back?"
Amidst the noisy commotion, the two parties formally reunited.
Seeing their own small courtyard and fertile farmland again after a long absence, Jiang Yuan felt a sense of joy and greeted them, "Since everyone hasn’t had a chance to explore yet, today is a good day to tour the Divine Mountain and visit the legendary Jasper Pool Immortal Realm at the peak."
[Achievement: Harvest Celestial Court · Jasper Pool, and Kunlun Divine Mountain. Reward: Special Protection Shield +1]
[Special Protection Shield: Applicable to encompass the entire Kunlun Divine Mountain and Jasper Pool Immortal Realm including the small courtyard, effectively blocking invasions by high-level cultivators, can be configured in the system interface]
[Special Task: Celestial Court · Jasper Pool]
[Task 2: Repair the first layer of city gates]
The special tasks received did not specify any clear rewards, but the repair effects were significant — the spiritual energy within the current Kunlun Divine Mountain is as rich as the small courtyard.
Once the city gates are repaired, there will surely be further enhancements until all structures are restored, likely birthing immortal energy and rekindling former glory.
"Is it truly the Divine Mountain?" Xie Chenyuan felt his liver trembling.
When the legendary Kunlun Divine Mountain appeared in the small courtyard chat group, he felt immense joy and anticipation, curiosity to see it firsthand. But when it truly appeared before him, even standing on its soil, it felt dreamlike and surreal.
Yet the real touch, the scent, all told him this wasn’t a dream.
Xie Chenyuan stepped forward, gazing at the spirit-rich waterfalls and mountains, vaguely "seeing" cultivators soaring through the forest via sword flight, hearing lively laughter in his ears, observing ruins rapidly repaired in a visible pace.
Splendid buildings stood, and those fleeting cultivators wearing Cloud Concealment Sect clothing!
He "watched" those individuals walking past, some even through him, speaking and laughing as they went further.
People were planting spirit medicine, pruning trees; discussing and meditating; some manipulated magical treasures practicing combat...
He "saw" a dazzling light far away, seeming to indicate someone ascending. Everything around him sped up uncontrollably, Xie Chenyuan understood he was prematurely glimpsing the future, but lacking realm to discern further detailed information.
"Are you alright?" As Xie Chenyuan was dizzy, almost fainting, he was suddenly held steadily, Mr. Jiang’s voice broke the uncontrollable foresight.
Recovering, he gasped a courtesy, "Thank you, Senior. I... I seemed to have seen some glimpses of the future."
In that lucid moment, most prying future scenes grew increasingly vague, indescribable, Xie Chenyuan could only smile wryly, "Unfortunately, with insufficient strength, clarity is elusive. I vaguely recall the city will regain its bustling splendor, with many cultivators training here." freewebnøvel.com
Jiang Yuan thought that was necessary, tasks had been issued, and he needed to find time quickly to repair the city gates.
Fixing just one empty city wouldn’t be effective, when seeing the ruins, the system detailed clearly that the city gates within the Divine Mountain must be maintained, needing enough cultivators to reside to sustain spiritual energy circulation.
Where to find so many reliable cultivators to move in?
So for now, let’s wait and see, just the efforts of restoring building by building would require such strength and time!
"Master, master, shall I carry everyone to explore Jasper Pool?" Yan Xuan couldn’t wait anymore, previously the master promised that if the circumstances allowed, it could reside within the Jasper Pool Immortal Realm.
It hurriedly wished to see what the situation truly was.
Jiang Yuan smiled and waved his hand, Yan Xuan eagerly transformed, growing larger, and then crouched down obediently waiting for everyone to climb aboard, with an "Awoo" cheer it ascended spirally soaring towards the destination.
Wind roared, amidst everyone’s anticipation, it fiercely rose straight and shot forth from the mountains!
"Gosh!"
But accompanied by a series of gasps, no one spoke.
Even Jiang Yuan was bewildered, in his previous imagination, Jasper Pool resembled the famous Celestial Pool amid mountaintops surrounded by mountains, breathtakingly beautiful.
However, when the actual Jasper Pool emerged before his eyes, his earlier imagination seemed too weak — what lay before him was a blue-green sea.
Clouds above turned multi-colored, the pool filled with islands large and small; distant surrounding mountains resembled countless crystal stones, akin to classic paintings, layer by layer blended in blue, green, purple, yellow, etc., infusing everything with unreal fantastical vibes.
Clouds and mist floated, afar indistinguishable between clouds or water.
Most striking was the Lingyun Stalactite towering in the center above Jasper Pool, cascading in radiant layers, beyond description with mere words.
The ruins at the edge of Jasper Pool were the dwelling waiting restoration for the Queen Mother of the West.
Despite the current broken walls, one could still envision its former grandeur and splendor, and Jiang Yuan eagerly anticipated the divine transformation upon restoration.
"Many flowers and trees on those islands remain wilted." Qing Niao whispered, "Is it because the current spiritual energy isn’t sufficient, so only the flowers in the mountains below restore while these immortal grade items can’t revive?"
Yun Shu pointed at the Lingyun Stalactite above and whispered, "Is there a building up there? Seems like it has all turned to ruins."
Jiang Yuan glanced upwards, nodding, "It’s a small palace. This Lingyun Stalactite absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, taking a century to condense a drop of holy water, time immeasurable forms Jasper Pool.
Unfortunately, currently deprived of spiritual energy drifting in the void for too long. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
With Nine Gates and Nine Wells restoration, the spiritual energy revived allows Jasper Pool just barely to sustain as a pool of spiritual water, for richer spiritual energy and to recreate past magnificence, restoring Divine Mountain and every aspect within Jasper Pool is essential."
The audience expressed regretful curiosity about what transpired in the celestial realm, even affecting Kunlun Divine Mountain and Jasper Pool Immortal Realm.
Except Yan Xuan blinked happily, "Master, since it’s currently just a pool of spiritual water, not the untouchable Jasper Pool Immortal Realm, can I reside here temporarily?"
Upon seeing this, Shi Hu hurriedly joined in, "Me! Count me in! Master, I want to live here too! I won’t compete for Jasper Pool Immortal Realm, residing within Divine Mountain is enough, my requirements aren’t excessive!"
Actually, it’s not about competition, rather its sly discovery that here lacks even flowers and trees, besides water are barren mountains, suggesting spiritual energy isn’t as rich as within the verdant mountain below.
Therefore, it presented a considerate and wise demeanor, hoping the master would nod agreement.
