Chapter 124: 0119: Wuliang Jade Bi, The Mystery of the Immortal Shadow (Additional 2 Chapters for the Alliance Hierarch Yufeng)

Jiang Dali knew quite a lot about the Wuliang Sword Sect and the Langhuan Blessed Land.

In his past life, there was a player named Foolish Hearted Person who had discovered the Langhuan Blessed Land instance beneath the Sword Lake Palace of the Wuliang Sword Sect.

According to ancient records discovered by several self-proclaimed official Family Consortia, the Langhuan Blessed Land was actually the secluded dwelling of the Carefree Sect’s Second Generation Sect Leader, Wuya Zi, and his fellow disciple, Li Qiushui.

The two of them had stored various martial arts from all over the world in a cave.

They would sometimes spar under the moon, sometimes compose poetry in front of flowers, their romance deepening.

The image of the two sparring was projected out through the Wuliang Jade in the mountains and seen by the Grandmaster of the Wuliang Sword Sect, who was astounded and mistook it for the dance of a Banished Immortal wielding a sword.

That is why, for many years, the Wuliang Sword Sect has continued to occupy the Sword Lake Palace of the Wuliang Mountain, guarding the Jade Bi, in an attempt to understand the Immortal Swordsmanship.

However, Wuya Zi and Li Qiushui had indeed only stayed in the Langhuan Blessed Land for twenty years before they both left.

The Grandmaster of the Wuliang Sword Sect rarely saw the Immortal Sword Dance afterward because the two had already left.

Any subsequent sightings of immortals were suspected to be due to the mysterious younger sister of Li Qiushui—the model for the sculpture that was carved by Wuya Zi.

Besides the Prince of the Dali Duan Family, Duan Yu, who accidentally stumbled into the Langhuan Blessed Land and gained significant advantages,

only the mother of Wang Yuyan, Lady Wang, had encountered something within the Langhuan Blessed Land.

Later, under the influence of the abnormal powers of the Mixed Martial Arts World, the Langhuan Blessed Land had become a special place similar to the strange phenomenon of players.

At the entrance of the Blessed Land, the Jade Bi was bewitching to the eyes, with the Jade Immortal Shadow at its front.

The statues inside the Blessed Land seemed to possess a mystic animacy.

Initially, any player who entered the Blessed Land was almost instantly killed upon entry, with no chance to see the true face of the Fairy Sister’s sculpture within.

Not until One God emerged out of nowhere and, together with Feng Ying of Tyrant Hall, did they pave their way in by using the two secret techniques, Nine Yang Divine Skill and Pure Yang Wuji Skill, to enter the Langhuan Blessed Land.

But as for what One God and Feng Ying truly gained within the Langhuan Blessed Land, the mass of players had no clue.

Jiang Dali, though also a very famous expert among players in his previous life,

was still far from the top-tier level of One God.

He could not touch the core secrets and could only gossip and speculate with the general player population.

This was also why there were rumors in the Martial World that One God was actually the mysterious Hall Master of Tyrant Hall.

After all, the martial prowess of the mysterious Hall Master of Tyrant Hall was unimaginably high.

Given how mysterious One God was, seldom cooperating with any power except for that one time with Tyrant Hall, it was only natural for players to speculate about his identity.

"One God won’t be able to obtain the Nine Yang Divine Skill now, but perhaps I could consider the Pure Yang Wuji Skill.

However, even with my possession of divine techniques like the Nine Yang Divine Skill and One Yang Finger, my strength is definitely not as great as One God’s peak period in the past life.

Now might be too soon to challenge the Langhuan Blessed Land.

I can just take a detour to experience the Jade Immortal Shadow, and if there’s an epiphany to be had, that itself would be a fortunate encounter, before looking for Mang Gu Zhu Ha..."

With this plan in mind, Jiang Dali discerned the direction in the sky, and riding the Demon Hawk, he swooped toward the roaring water in the distance.

Before coming to Wuliang Mountain, he had already locked up Wu Lie, who had the strength of the Bursting Energy Realm, in a cave nearby and came here alone.

Wu Lie was a capable person, possessing the power of the Bursting Energy Realm.

Though his combat strength was much weaker than his, he could be considered a good hand in the Martial World.

What was most rare was that this person had learned the divine technique of One Yang Finger.

He was an excellent sparring partner.

Jiang Dali did not plan to kill him outright, but to take him back to the Mountain Village.

Once the Black Prison facility was newly renovated, he would confine Wu Lie inside it as a sparring prisoner.

By then, not only him, but also Xiong Ba, Wu Yunhong, Feng Sihai, and all players could enter the Black Prison to spar with Wu Lie.

For players soon to enter the Inner Qi Realm, having a sparring partner like Wu Lie might be a bit advanced, but if they occasionally engage in these higher-level battles, their Martial Arts Proficiency would quickly improve.

Thus, NPC prisoners with considerable combat ability like Wu Lie were rare resources and the best for honing players.

In the previous life, many powerful player guilds would have top experts capture strong NPCs with little background to contain them solely for the guild’s core players to spar with, quickly increasing the Martial Arts Proficiency of their core members.

This was also one of the benefits that top guilds used to attract players to join.

Jiang Dali had also once envisioned founding the greatest power in the world, much like Hero Island, capturing a bunch of strong individuals and confining them to spar with him!

This grand idea had not been realized in the past life.

But in this life, who knew if Black Wind Village could grow to that extent.

Rumbling—

The Demon Hawk dove down, the moisture and gusts from the waterfall hitting them head-on.

Below the moonlight at the northwest corner behind Wuliang Mountain,

a large waterfall plummeted from a high cliff, like the Milky Way pouring down, utterly intimidating.

"This should be the place."

Jiang Dali focused on the cliff beneath the waterfall and directed the Demon Hawk in a slow spiraling descent, beginning his search from left to right.

Although the Langhuan Blessed Land had been exposed in the previous life,

the vast majority of solo players had no chance to approach it.

Even large guilds were not entitled to a share of it.

Only the top-large guilds had the qualification to obtain an entrance ticket.

Because of this, Jiang Dali, in his past life, had also visited Wuliang Mountain but had only stayed around the perimeter and watched from afar.

Although the entrance and exit of the Langhuan Blessed Land had been exposed on the Jianghu Forum, he had only looked at it and never approached.

This place, akin to an instance dungeon, was something for players in the very late stages.

Back then, he had already reached the Gang Qi Realm, and was soon reborn.

Therefore, returning to Wuliang Mountain this time, he still needed to carefully search in order to find the entrance to the Langhuan Blessed Land.

Riding on the Demon Hawk, he descended hundreds of feet.

Almost all around was shrouded in mist, and even further down, it seemed that there was no end in sight.

However, Jiang Dali’s eyes lit up when he saw a great rift splitting open the cliff on the opposite mountain through the night mist.

He immediately steered the hawk closer.

Gliding down the slanted crevice, it wasn’t long before he reached the bottom of the valley.

Standing there, he looked up and around.

To the east, south, west, and north, there were only steep cliffs, leaving no way out.

Only the slope he had descended through the crevice was steep, yet it had a slight curvature, making it possible for someone to climb.

The sound of rushing water echoed in his ears.

On the left, a large waterfall cascaded down from the cliff like a hanging jade dragon, pouring into an exceptionally clear lake.

At that moment, the moonlight was reflected in the lake, and in the center of the lake, a bright moon rippled slightly, presenting a magnificent sight.

Jiang Dali rode the hawk and swept over the lake, startling some rustling small animals within the valley.

The lakeside was adorned with clusters of tea flowers that swayed gracefully under the moonlight, adding to the beauty of the scene.

His gaze finally settled on the cliff beside the waterfall on the opposite side.

Looking up at that cliff from the bottom against the waterfall, it shone like jade.

It was unknown how many years of washing and polishing by the waterfall had made half of the cliff face smooth and flat, reflecting like a bright mirror, with mist occasionally surging and swirling above it, creating a dreamlike illusion.

"This is the Wuliang Jade Bi. This Jade Bi corresponds to a smaller stone wall."

Jiang Dali’s eyes were bright as he carefully scrutinized the Jade Bi for a while before steering the Demon Hawk into a thicket in the center of the valley.

Behind the thicket was also a bare rock wall covered with vines.

This rock wall was also exceptionally smooth and flat but was much smaller than the Wuliang Jade Bi on the west side of the lake.

As Jiang Dali approached on the Demon Hawk, his shadow was reflected on this smaller wall.

Consequently, through the refraction of light, it reflected onto the large Wuliang Jade Bi on the west side of the lake, creating the illusion of a fairy’s shadow moving about.

This was, in fact, the "Jade Immortal Shadow" that had puzzled and bewildered the Wuliang Sword Sect for many years.

In the previous life, according to ancient texts obtained by the officials, the Sect Leaders of both the East and West branches of the Wuliang Sword Sect often saw the shadow of a sword-dancing immortal on the Jade Bi in the moonlit evenings, hence their persistent obsession with the waltzing immortal.

It wasn’t until Duan Yu came to the Langhuan Blessed Land that he discovered the laughable truth behind it.

But now that the Mixed Martial Arts World had undergone great changes, the data recorded in the ancient texts could not be taken as accurate anymore.

The destinies of the people in the Martial World of each Mixed Martial Arts World might change slightly.

The past deeds naturally change with the individual.

For instance, the Jade Bi was not so mystical in the past; it was merely a large mirror reflecting various objects.

Duan Yu’s entry into the Langhuan Blessed Land required nothing more than finding the right gate.

However, since the Jade Bi and the Langhuan Blessed Land were affected by the abnormal powers of the Mixed Martial Arts World and changed.

Entering the Langhuan Blessed Land was no longer a simple matter and required passing through various challenges.

Jiang Dali leapt down from the Demon Hawk’s back and instructed it to leave and search for Mang Gu Zhu Ha in Wuliang Mountain while he stayed behind in the deep valley.

Mang Gu Zhu Ha, an exotic beast that could enhance a person’s power and grant immunity to all poisons once consumed, was something ordinary people could only find if they were extremely fortunate.

But with the help of an exotic beast like the Demon Hawk.

With the Demon Hawk’s broad vision from high above and its speed, it was relatively easy to search.

Jiang Dali planned to linger in Wuliang Mountain for a couple of days.

The Demon Hawk was tasked with finding Mang Gu Zhu Ha.

He would stay here to study the Langhuan Blessed Land and also conveniently cultivate his qinggong.

This area, surrounded by sheer cliffs, was an ideal place to practice the "Gecko Wall-Climbing Skill" and the "Wild Goose Formation."

Jiang Dali’s figure unfolded, his wide robe swaying slightly as he darted straight towards the bare rock wall behind the thicket.

Almost the instant his figure neared it.

Under the moonlight, the Wuliang Jade Bi reflected an eerie change from the rock wall; his shadow was suddenly projected onto it, revealing a monstrous figure on the Jade Bi as if emerging from the wall.

"The Jade Bi really has transformed!"

In an instant.

Jiang Dali’s scalp tightened, his hair stood on end, a chill running down his spine and spreading through his body like electricity...
