Jiulongwu, located in the far west of Huadu, bordering the vast and majestic Xiyang River, is one of the most beautiful scenic spots in Huadu Holy City.
Here, the four seasons are like spring, the terrain is low and flat, but the view is extremely open, and you can see thousands of miles away to the river surface. The turbulent sunset river also calmed down at this ancient shore, with a gentle flow like a flat lake.
No one knows who built the Holy City of Huadu, nor does anyone know when it was built. However, people all say that Jiulongyu is the birthplace of the Holy City of Huadu, and the first foundation stone of the city was laid here.
Every hundred years, nine giant dragons of ten thousand feet appear from the sky and dance wildly on the water. No one knows whether these giant dragons are real or illusions, because when they appear, their momentum can suffocate even the top masters in the world, let alone explore their true form.
The nine dragons fly in the sky, helping people understand the immortal way. Therefore, every Nine Dragons Festival attracts countless cultivation masters to come and observe. Some old monsters who have been cultivating for thousands of years without breaking through will also come to find opportunities for breakthroughs. Perhaps the old man who just brushed shoulders with you is a hidden world's top strongman for thousands of years.
The Double Ninth Festival has become the most bustling and festive holiday in the world of cultivation, but every hundred years, the Double Ninth Festival will also bring about some earth-shattering events that will be passed down for thousands of years.
Five thousand years ago, the current master of Su Nu's Zen Abode once unfolded the Tianji Diagram here, attracting two top figures in the Orthodox Way to compete with each other for her favor, and this classic story is still being passed down today.
Let's not talk about the distant past, but just a hundred years ago during the Jiulong Festival, one of the three great beauties of Gu Xuan Domain, Liu Yanran, held her zither and ascended to the Longwang Pavilion. She watched as nine dragons flew and danced in the sky, and suddenly grasped a melody of divine music on her zither. At that moment, the heavenly sound and the nine dragons danced together, summoning an extraordinary phenomenon between heaven and earth. Some people said that when the heavenly sound began to play, a star twinkled above the river bottom outside the nine dragons' lair, and above the star was a mysterious black palace that appeared and disappeared. When the music stopped, the phenomenon also vanished. A supreme master secretly entered the river bottom to search for the twinkling star, but after searching the entire river, there was no sign of the star or any trace of the strange palace.
From then on, it became a mystery of Jiulongwu!
"Did you say Yanran went to Kowloon 100 years ago?"
Sitting on the flying ancient car, Guo Yi asked as soon as Hua Er Lou finished telling this story.
Hua Er Lou smiled and said, "This is a well-known fact, not some secret. You should know that the three great beauties of Gu Xuan Domain were given the title of 'Fairy' not just because of their beauty, but also because wherever they went, they would inevitably bring about astonishing and extraordinary signs."
"How could I have missed it?" Guo Yi and Liu Yanran, Bai Xue'er all had intersections, but to say that the immortal mark was really not seen once, the blood sacrifice was indeed seen once.
"Boss, you're completely unaware of the blessings you have. There are countless people in the world who want to see the three fairy ladies but can't even get close, yet you always have them by your side. It's really making me, Hua, bask in your glory." Hua Erlou glanced at Bai Xi'er, who was looking relaxed, and quickly swallowed his saliva again, putting on a gentlemanly appearance as he continued to sigh: "If I didn't rely on your connections, boss, I wouldn't have had the chance to see the true forms of two fairy ladies. In the future, I'll have to ask you to bring the last one for me to take a look."
This flying chariot was as big as a house, and Bai Xue'er sat at the very top, keeping a great distance from Guo Yao. Her beautiful eyes were tightly closed, her body was hazy and ethereal, and she sat lightly, her white robes emitting a soft white glow, making her seem otherworldly and detached from the world.
Bai Xue'er's eyes snapped open, shining brightly as she looked at Guo Yao and asked in a melodious voice, "Do you know the Qinyin Fairy, Liu Yanran?"
"I've only seen her once." Guo Yi let out a deep sigh, he had indeed only seen Liu Yanran's true face once, but that one time was enough to make it unforgettable for the rest of his life.
Hua's eyes wandered around the room, and he hastily added for Guo Yao: "It's not just that they know each other, their relationship is extraordinary."
Although Hua Er Lou had placed all his bets on Guo Yao and Bai Xue'er, he couldn't forget the pair of eyes that made people's hearts ache when Liu Yanran left. He saw a hint of sadness in her that Guo Yao didn't see, and he felt obligated to do something about it.
Bai Xue'er saw that Guo Ye didn't deny it, so she continued to ask: "Can her piano sound really cast a spell on people?"
"It's not just enchanting for humans, even gods would be enchanted if they heard it." Guo Ye said.
"Is she more beautiful or am I?" Bai Xue'er didn't know why she asked this question.
"Of course she is more beautiful."
Bai Xue'er's tone was displeased, saying: "You've never seen my true appearance, why are you so certain? You should know that my ranking is even higher than hers."
"It doesn't matter anymore, in my eyes she is the most beautiful woman in this world." Guo Yi seemed unwilling to mention it again, then continued: "The Nine Dragons' Urn should be arriving soon, right?"
Bai Xue'er saw the affectionate look in Guo Yao's eyes, and her heart was filled with anger, but she didn't know what she was angry about. Seeing Guo Yao deliberately change the subject, she couldn't help but hum a cold tune in her heart.
"I've already heard the tide on the Xiyang River, it's probably not far away." Hua Er Lou smiled.
Jiulong Wuo, known as the place with the most concentrated spiritual energy in the cultivation world, where every plant and tree has been spiritualized. Even ordinary flowers and grasses that grow here for hundreds of years can become semi-spiritual herbs.
The sunset on the riverbank in June still feels a bit sultry, although it's already nightfall, but Jiulongwo is brightly lit and bustling with people.
Hua Erlou seemed to have been here before. After getting off the flying carriage, a young servant came forward and led the flying carriage away.
Kuo Yeh only truly felt what it meant to be in the most spiritual place in the Immortal Realm after he got out of the Flying Heaven Ancient Carriage. In front of him, strands of spiritual energy that were like invisible liquids darted through the air, some shooting out from the Sunset River and straight into the sky, some flying out from the surrounding Spiritual Light Trees and then diving back into the ground, and some even directly crashing into people's bodies.
"It's indeed the best place under heaven, cultivating here will surely lead to rapid progress. No wonder there are as many as seven top masters on the Dragon Abyss Sword Garden's 'Spiritual Leaderboard'. It seems that geographical advantage plays a huge role." Guo Yi sighed.
Hua Er Lou led the way in front, smiling and saying: "What's this, if you want to talk about the place with the densest spiritual energy, then you can't help but mention Wang Long Tai. The spiritual energy there is at least twice as high as here."
Jiulong Wu is a wetland on the outskirts of Huadu, where the air is humid and spiritual energy is like water. Some people jokingly say that half of the water here is actually an accumulation of spiritual energy.
A white stone ancient path winds its way along the Sunset River, stretching far into the distance. Along the way, iron trees with spiritual flowers blooming on them stand tall. On this ancient path, people come and go, never-ending streams of them, mostly high-level cultivators. Among these people, Guo Yao didn't see a single cultivator below the Seventh Palace of Spiritual Cultivation, and there were even two whose cultivation he couldn't discern at all.
"How many masters have gathered here?" Guo Yi's heart was filled with anxiety, but this place was indeed a good place to make money. If the Ten-Faced Wisdom Token were to be auctioned off, it would surely cause a stir and fetch a sky-high price.
Hua walked in the front, leading the way, while Guo Yi and Liu Yanran followed closely behind him, side by side, just like other couples on the ancient path, looking quiet and harmonious.
"It's not lively enough tonight, but tomorrow night will be the peak of human traffic, hehe! A month ago, all the spots here were snatched up, luckily I acted quickly and booked a Water Moon Pavilion near the Winding Dragon Tower, which is an excellent spot to watch the Nine Dragons Flying Heaven Dance. There are less than 100 such Water Moon Pavilions throughout the entire Nine Dragons Festival, other billion cultivators who didn't get a spot can only come here by dragon boat."
Hua Erlou laughed heartily: "However, the Wan Chuan Lantern Festival crossing the Yangtze River tomorrow is also a rare and spectacular sight that occurs once in a hundred years."
"What's there to be happy about? The best place to watch the Nine Dragon Flying Heaven Dance is at Wanglong Tai, why didn't you book a spot on Wanglong Tai?" asked Guo Yi.
Hua's laughter stopped abruptly, and he let out a cold snort: "The Wishing Dragon Tower has long been booked by the Zhongzhou Imperial Family and the Longyuan Imperial Sword Garden at an astronomical price. There is a rumor that tomorrow night, the Crown Prince Chuge and the Young Master of the Longyuan Imperial Sword Garden, Long Thirteen, will host a banquet on the Wishing Dragon Tower to discuss with the seven overlords of the Seven Great Evil Lands their plan to besiege the White Family."
Bai Xier's delicate eyebrows furrowed, seemingly very dissatisfied with this news.
Hua Er Lou mysteriously whispered to Guo Yi, "Boss, you'd better be careful. I've heard that the young master of Long Yuan Yu Jian Garden has already merged with the sixth spiritual palace and reached the ninth rank on the Spiritual List, his strength is terrifying."
"It's none of my business how strong he is, I won't engage in a battle that I'm not sure to win." Guo Yao, although having a deep grudge against Longyuan Sword Garden, would absolutely not go for a fight without being confident.
"But I heard that Long Thirteen is pursuing the Evil Princess, and just the other day, he personally went to the North Ming Nine Seas to retrieve the Ancient Dao Mirror. It's very likely that tonight, he'll present this top-grade artifact to the Evil Princess as a token of his affection." Hua Er Lou continued: "I also have some inside information, the three Sword Sages of Long Yuan Imperial Sword Garden are quite supportive of Long Thirteen, and the Evil Princess's astonishing plan has won the favor of the three Sword Sages. It seems that someone high up in Tian Xie Peak is also actively supporting the two."
Kuo Yidun halted his footsteps, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes as he coldly snorted: "Then with you saying that, won't tomorrow night be a wonderful show?"
"Good show?" Hua Er Lou was shocked.
"Nine Dragons Festival, the young master of Longyuan Garden's Dragon Abyss Sword Sect was killed by Nine Dragons Urn. Don't you think this is quite an interesting thing?"
Hua Er Lou and Bai Xie'er could both clearly feel the intense killing aura emanating from Guo Yi, which was not concealed in the slightest. Suddenly, it attracted the attention of countless cultivators on the ancient road.
Guo Yi suddenly withdrew the murderous aura from his body and patted Hua Er Lou's shoulder, asking: "By the way, where did you get so many small pieces of news?"
Hua Er Lou was startled by Guo Yi's sudden movement, but seeing that the killing intent on Guo Yi had dissipated, he quickly smiled and said: "Guhua Ji's business is all over the world, every nook and cranny, it has actually formed a vast intelligence network. The winds and grasses of this cultivation world can naturally be known to me in the first time. I can boast that even if the number one intelligence organization in the world, Qianye Lou, may not have our family's intelligence network as extensive."
In the midst of the nine dragons' turmoil, the ancient path became increasingly intricate and complex. Before long, the trio arrived in front of a brightly lit ancient wooden castle.
"Xiao Changsheng, this guy is also a rich man who knows how to enjoy himself. I hugged a pavilion in Ye Ying Lou, and he bought an ancient wooden castle in Jiulong Qu. He's really a complete spendthrift." Hua Er Lou sighed as he gazed at the luxurious castle.
Xiao Changsheng's residence had arrived, and the three of them stood outside the ancient wooden castle, but they heard a woman's voice coming from inside the castle, yes, it was indeed a woman's voice.
Xiao Changsheng's residence was filled with the sound of a woman, which shocked Guo Ye to an extent that was no less than when Su Nü Chan Master Ye Yin Hui suddenly announced to the world that she would marry Hua Er Lou. Both were things that could never happen, but now they had actually happened.
Why did a woman appear in Xiao Changsheng's ancient castle? Who is this woman?
Kuo's curiosity was greatly aroused!
