After passing through the ripples in that space, Bai Qiuran came to another world where the inverted mountain peak was located. The gravity suddenly reversed, and Bai Qiuran, who was unable to fly in the void without a foothold, suddenly fell straight down. But he had prepared long ago and had adjusted his figure in mid-air.
With a bang, he landed on the flat top of the mountain and looked up. There was a blue sky above his head, and he could no longer see the outside.
“This is Wise Immortal Mansion?”
Bai Qiuran looked around.
“No, maybe it should be said, the entrance of Wise Immortal Mansion.”
He figured that he should be at the top of the mountain that was hanging upside down. The top of this mountain was a platform with some vegetation growing everywhere, but no other creatures were seen.
Bai Qiuran walked to the edge of the platform and looked down. Outside the platform was a cliff formed by a steep slope close to seventy degrees. On the cliff, he could see some trees growing from the cracks in the rock, hanging on the cliff tenaciously. The lower part was shrouded in clouds and mist, and occasionally a glimpse of the energetic glow appeared, but he couldn’t see the specific appearance.
Seeing no other disciples around, Bai Qiuran thought that since they came one step ahead and had already continued to explore. He decided to walk down from the edge of the platform.
For Bai Qiuran, walking on this nearly vertical cliff wall wasn’t different from walking on the ground. Although he couldn’t fly, as long as he has a foothold, he was definitely much more stable than other cultivators.
He only walked a distance of about twenty-five feet down, then the whole person went deep into the clouds and mist, and a strange sense of spatial dislocation came. Bai Qiuran walked for a few minutes under the condition of fog in all directions, and the mist gradually dissipating. Hw was stunned to find that he had come to a wonderful cave.
“I just walked clearly on the cliff…”
Bai Qiuran admired:
“Land Immortal’s spatial manipulation techniques are really dazzling.”
He looked around and saw that this cave had no way to come out. Behind him was a hard rock wall. Half of the cave’s ground and the other half was a bottomless abyss. There was only one narrow road extending to another. On the side of the rock wall, there was a dark hole.
Beside this passage, Bai Qiuran saw a stone monument.
When he walked in, blue light suddenly appeared on the stone tablet, forming several lines of text.
【There are eight great sufferings in life: birth, aging, sickness, death, association with the unbeloved, separation from the loved, not getting what is wanted, five clinging-aggregates. Only those who jump out of the sea of suffering can become Immortals. 】
“Tsk, something from Saint Buddha Sect’s books.”
Bai Qiuran said.
“The Land Immortals have learned a lot.”
Before he finished speaking, the writing on the tablet changed again.
【The first suffering: the suffering of birth. 】
As soon as the words appeared, the cave violently vibrated, as if it was in the belly of a giant beast, and now, the giant beast’s stomach was violently contracting and digesting.
The rock wall behind Bai Qiuran moved rumblingly and pressed against him. The ground that occupies half of the cave under his feet also began to collapse. Only the passage connecting the deep cave on the other side of the cave was still standing in place.
There were various signs that showed that it wanted to force Bai Qiuran to walk on this path.
This kind of persecution was actually not that fatal to other cultivators, but for Bai Qiuran, it just hit his sore spot. After all, without a foothold and he couldn’t fly in the air, he would fall for sure. Even if the fall couldn’t kill him, nobody knew what was under this abyss and how deep it was.
If by any chance it fell into the void outside the boundary, that would be terribly unlucky.
“Okay.”
Seeing that his foothold was about to disappear, Bai Qiuran reluctantly stepped onto the passage.
“I want to see what tricks you are playing…”
On the other side, Tang Ruowei, who entered the entrance of Wise Immortal Mansion one step earlier than Bai Qiuran, was also looking at the surroundings.
Originally, when they came to the summit, the disciples of all the sects were still gathered together, but when the disciples of the various sects entered the clouds and mist under the mountain along the cliff, they were separated, and this also completely disrupted the previous arrangements of the various sect elders.
The disciples of the various sects were currently not knowing where they are going. Tang Ruowei estimated that they should have been randomly disrupted and thrown into different spaces. Now, she could only go down on her own.
Settling down, Tang Ruowei observed the surroundings and found that she was standing in an octagonal pavilion. The octagonal pavilion was floating in a night sky with only a stone tablet in the pavilion.
She came to the stone tablet, and several lines of text flashed across the stone tablet exactly as Bai Qiuran had seen, but immediately after that, the text that appeared on the stone tablet in Tang Ruowei’s place turned into 【The first suffering: the suffering of not getting what is wanted. 】.
With the emergence of the writing on this stone tablet, a bridge suddenly came in the depths of the night sky, connecting it to the gap in the railing around the octagonal pavilion. At the same time, the octagonal pavilion also began to tremble, urging Tang Ruowei to go on the next path.
In desperation, the girl had to walk on the bridge and head towards the dark night sky. Halfway through, she looked back and found that the octagonal pavilion had disappeared into the night sky. She wondered if it flew to other places, or collapsed and dissipated.
No longer able to go back, Tang Ruowei continued forward and walked along the bridge to the bottom of a high platform.
The platform was several tens of feet high, and Tang Ruowei, who was standing at her feet, could not see the situation clearly, and could only follow the white stone stairs all the way up.
When she finally came to the top of the high platform, she found that on the top of it there was a square platform with an area of about 200 square meters. There was a brazier at the four corners of the platform. After sensing Tang Ruowei’s arrival, the four braziers suddenly burned.
The flame dissipated the surrounding darkness, and then, in front of Tang Ruowei, a familiar young girl appeared with her back facing Ruowei.
The girl wore a goose-yellow precious palace dress. The style and decoration made Tang Ruowei a little familiar.
“What is this……”
She cautiously approached the girl. At the distance of five meters, where her moves are the most effective, she asked:
“Excuse me, who are you?”
“Hahaha.”
The girl she asked gave a chuckle like a silver bell, and then she turned around and faced Tang Ruowei gracefully.
“Are you asking me?”
The girl’s black hair was like a waterfall, her eyebrows were like a peach blossom, her eyelashes flap slightly. She was clearly Tang Ruowei herself.
The only difference between this girl and Tang Ruowei was that the pair of breasts on her chest was almost world-class boobs. With Tang Ruowei’s 20 years of experience, she could tell at a glance that they were genuine and not padded.
And when her gaze swept over, the girl put her hands under her chest, seeming to support her chest intentionally or unconsciously.
After a dazzling tremor, her breathing stagnated.
As the jealous flame ignited in her heart, Tang Ruowei felt that she might have some understanding of what the so-called “Not Getting What Is Wanted” really meant.
