The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1328

Chapter 1328: Chapter 1325: Immortal Land Fangcun Chapter 1328: Chapter 1325: Immortal Land Fangcun Shen Luo originally just wanted to see Longevity Village before the disaster, but he found it looked completely different from what he had seen in Dreamland.

After this experience, Fu Donglai's gaze towards Shen Luo became even stranger.

The two followed the route depicted on the sketch, trekking for several “two-hour periods” before finally arriving at the foot of that majestic mountain peak.

However, what appeared before them was a series of towering green mountain walls, with no visible path leading into the mountain.

“Brother Shen, is this map… really accurate?” Fu Donglai couldn't help but ask.

Shen Luo did not directly answer Fu Donglai's skepticism.

He looked at the familiar scene before him and, based on the terrain features in his memory, quickly found a protruding giant stone in front of a mountain wall.

“Elder Brother Fu, look here,” Shen Luo said, pointing to a black circle on the sketch.

Fu Donglai looked for moments, his brow slightly furrowed, scrutinizing the giant stone in comparison to the circle, and spoke, “This circle doesn't quite look like a stone, does it?”

Shen Luo smiled without saying a word, leading him to the side of the giant stone where a hidden cave entrance was revealed beneath.

“Ah, so this circle is depicting this cave entrance…” Fu Donglai smacked his forehead, suddenly realizing.

They first descended into the cave entrance, then followed the passageway sloping upwards inside the cave, traveling a hundred feet through the body of the mountain before emerging from a cave entrance on the other side of Mount Fangcun's mountain wall.

Once out of the cave entrance, they found a path lined with cobblestones winding through the mountain forest, leading deeper into the woods.

Shen Luo and his companion followed the forest path for about two or three miles when a wide blue stone path finally appeared before them.

At the beginning of the mountain path, there stood a wood archway about a zhang high, with a plaque hanging across it that read “Mount Fangcun” in three large characters, and to the right side at the base of the archway, stood a blue stone about three feet tall.

Engraved on the blue stone were four ancient seal characters: “Seek the Dao within the heart.”

Before they even reached the wood archway, they could feel waves of strong spiritual power fluctuations coming from that direction.

As they approached closer, they indeed felt a rather powerful oppressive force emanating from the void within the alley gate, with a clear force of repulsion.

Shen Luo stepped forward and pressed his hand towards the void in the middle of the gate.

The void immediately shimmered, revealing a splendid expanse of colorful dazzling light, impenetrable to the touch of his hand.

At the same time, the shimmering light spread from the gate and in an instant, transformed into a vast curtain of light covering the sky, enveloping the entirety of Mount Fangcun within it.

Immediately afterwards, the colorful light curtain inside the gate flickered slightly, a surge of not so intense spiritual power fluctuations stirred up, pushing Shen Luo back a bit.

Then, a slightly cold voice came from within the gate:

“Mount Fangcun is closed, and we are not receiving visitors at this time. Daoist friends, please return on your own.”

Hearing this, Shen Luo and his companion exchanged glances.

“This junior of the Demon Clan, Fu Donglai, humbly requests to ascend the mountain to seek discipleship; please make an exception and let us pass,” Fu Donglai commanded with mana, his voice booming like a tiger's roar, echoing through the mountain forest.

“Our sect has closed the mountain and has also temporarily halted new disciples. For one hundred years, we will not accept disciples from any side,” the voice rang out again, still void of emotion.

Hearing this, Shen Luo hesitated for a moment, and then, also activating his mana, he shouted loudly:

“This junior, Shen Luo, a cultivator of the Human Race, wishes to ascend the mountain to pay homage to the ancestor Master; please, Elder, grant passage.”

After speaking, Shen Luo activated the Huangting Technique, making no effort to conceal his formidable presence of an Early True Immortal.

“Who are you, and from where did you inherit our Mount Fangcun's skills?” the voice asked again, urgency clear in its tone.

“With due respect, Elder, my inherited skills cannot be disclosed until I meet with the Ancestor Master,” Shen Luo said, feigning secrecy.

“How audacious of you, do you know that it is a grave crime to privately learn our sect's skills without permission?” As the voice rang out, a green-robed figure emerged from the colorful light curtain and landed directly in front of Shen Luo and his companion.

The newcomer wore a qing-colored Daoist robe, with slightly prominent cheekbones and a stern face, emanating the powerful fluctuations of a True Immortal at the middle stage, putting pressure on Shen Luo and his companion.

Shen Luo's Huangting Technique continuously circulated; his aura remained unwavering as he confronted the man head-on.

The Daoist in the green robe saw this and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes as he demanded, “Where exactly did you learn the Huangting Technique from? Confess the truth!”

Shen Luo's eyebrows knitted slightly, feeling dissatisfied with the other's aggressive attitude.

“I learned it from the Ancestor Master, naturally. Are you questioning the Ancestor Master's responsibility?” Shen Luo replied, neither humbly nor arrogantly.

His statement wasn't entirely wrong; he had always been cultivating on his own, without anyone teaching him, which, strictly speaking, meant he did indeed learn it from Bodhi Ancestor.

“Since you refuse to speak, I have no choice but to search for the answer myself,” said the Daoist in the green robe, not wasting any more words. He immediately extended a palm, aiming to strike down at the top of Shen Luo's head.

Shen Luo's heart tightened, and he was about to move when he suddenly saw another figure pass through the light curtain of the alley.

“Senior Brother Jue Ming, please stop your hand,” the newcomer was a Daoist child, also clad in a qing-colored Daoist robe.

Hearing this, Jue Ming immediately halted his action and withdrew his hand.

“Junior Brother Chun Qiu, what is the meaning of this?” Jue Ming asked, puzzled.

“It's the Ancestor's wish; he said to take them up for a look,” the little Daoist boy hastily bowed and explained.

“Our Master wants to see them?” Jue Ming sounded surprised.

“Yes, yes,” Chun Qiu nodded again.

“Alright… Do you need my help to escort them?” Jue Ming hesitated slightly before asking.

“The Master didn't say so, so it shouldn't be necessary. Thank you, Senior Brother,” Chun Qiu shook his head and spoke earnestly.

With that, Jue Ming didn't dwell on the matter any further and said, “Then I'll leave it to you.”

After speaking, he turned around, took a few steps into the alley's light curtain, and his figure immediately vanished from sight.

“Both of you, please follow me,” the little Daoist boy said with a gentle smile to the two of them.

Having said that, he formed a hand seal with one hand and placed a talisman paper onto the light curtain inside the alley.

The curtain of light flashed with colorful streams, and a circular void expanded continuously until it was tall enough to accommodate a person before stopping.

The little Daoist boy stepped into the void first, followed closely by Shen Luo and Fu Donglai, who also entered.

After all three had entered, the void inside the alley was gradually filled by the surging colorful dazzling light, merging and disappearing back into the curtain.

“Please come with me,” said the little Daoist boy as he began to lead the way up the mountain path.

Shen Luo and his companion followed, ascending the mountain trail.

Contrary to the year when Shen Luo entered Mount Fangcun, there were no ruins and damaged buildings, no white bones hidden by the roadside–only red walls and green tiles nestled among the shade of green trees.

Shen Luo had to admit, an unspoiled Mount Fangcun indeed deserved to be called a Blessed Land and Cave, a heavenly place in the Human World.

There were pavilions, towers, bridges, and corridors scattered among the mountains, with spirit deer leaping and cranes dancing, presenting a picture of tranquility and harmony.
