"We've finally left Shouyang Mountain. Now we have two options!"
"One path goes west, back to the Great Zhou, back to the original place!"
"The other way is to go east, through the mountains that stretch for thousands of miles, to the land of Dragon Lake!"
Legend has it that a dragon transformed into a dragon here and flew away into the sky, so it is called Longhu Lake!
Like Longhu Lake and Shouyang Mountain, it is a gathering place for cultivators of immortality.
Longhu Lake is vast and has countless small islands scattered throughout it. Many of these islands are covered with spiritual veins of varying sizes, and every spiritual vein is inhabited by a family of immortal cultivators, who live and multiply there.
Qilong Lake is located at the junction of three major sects: Wanfa Sect, Jujian Sect, and Hongchen Valley. It is a rare lawless area in Yuezhou. It is also adjacent to the Wan Yao Forest. It gathers casual cultivators, robbery cultivators, immortal cultivation families, and sect disciples. It is a real place where good and bad people mix together!
"To the west, everything returns to the starting point..."
"To the east, pursue the road!"
Chen Changsheng stood at the foot of Shouyang Mountain, looked towards the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty for a few times, and then turned directly to the east!
Compared to the gentle land of the capital of the Great Zhou, he yearns for the great road and the more colorful world of cultivating immortals!
Although, he is very...
But, this is not a contradiction!
The reason he was hiding was because his strength was too low, and he was just thinking about his safety.
Eight thousand miles to the east, the land of Longhu is home to the blue dragon!
The current Chen Changsheng is no longer the same person as before. He can only rely on his feet and crawl all the way into Shouyang Mountain.
He is an immortal cultivator, he can control a flying sword and soar above the sky!
He naturally wouldn't show off the top-tier magical flying sword he'd received from Shopkeeper Wan. He was only piloting a mid-tier magical flying sword, and his cultivation level was only at the fifth level of Qi training. Even so, he could reach speeds exceeding two hundred kilometers per hour, which was much more comfortable than driving a car in his previous life...
"As the ancients said, 'In the morning you travel to the North Sea, and in the evening you travel to Cangwu.' That's probably what it feels like!"
At a speed of 200 kilometers per hour, it is impossible for Chen Changsheng to keep flying with the flying sword. There are many monsters gathering in the rugged mountains and rivers. If the target is too conspicuous, it will easily attract the siege of monsters.
It took Chen Changsheng more than ten days to travel from Shouyang Mountain to Longhu Lake, which is eight thousand miles away.
The reason why it took so long was mainly because Chen Changsheng was not familiar with the road conditions. Along the way, he encountered attacks from monsters several times. He walked cautiously afterwards, and his speed naturally slowed down.
"Is this Dragon Lake? It's really a vast expanse of blue water, as vast as smoke!"
Suddenly, a trace of doubt suddenly emerged in Chen Changsheng's mind...
Is this world also round?
However, even if it is truly spherical, it is still a planet that is much larger than the Earth.
In his previous life, Chen Changsheng had been to Poyang Lake, which was already a rare freshwater lake, but compared with this place, it seemed much smaller.
According to Chen Changsheng's understanding, there are countless islands in Dragon Lake. The large islands can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, while the smaller islands have only a few hundred people. Chen Changsheng even has difficulty comparing some of the terrain on Earth with Dragon Lake...
"Sir, do you want to take the ferry?"
On the shore, there is a boatman ferrying people across the river.
"Haha, no need, boatman, this is Longtan Town?" Chen Changsheng said with a smile.
"Yes, sir, this is Longtan Town, Xiahe Village!" The boatman Lianlian nodded.
"Well, that's the right spot. This is for you. See you again if you're lucky!"
As Chen Changsheng spoke, he dropped a fist-sized piece of silver, stepped on his flying sword, and headed towards the depths of Dragon Lake...
"Immortal?"
"My dear, come out and see the immortal! He gave me a large piece of silver!" The boatman excitedly shouted towards the cabin...
The presence of immortals in Longhu Lake wasn't unusual for the villagers living near the lake. Legends about immortals could be heard everywhere, including stories of someone having a connection with an immortal...
"According to the map, Huangshafang City is located 1,300 miles southeast of Longtan Town. It shouldn't take long to find it..."
Huangsha Market is one of the smaller markets in Longhu Lake. The master of Huangsha Island who sits in charge of the market is just a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training. There is not even one cultivator in the foundation building stage. This is also one of the characteristics of Longhu Market.
Although Longhu Lake is large and has many cultivators, no real dragon has appeared there. Although there are many cultivators and resources here, they are too scattered and unable to gather together. Therefore, there are not many foundation-building cultivators, and they belong to various forces. Behind them, there are also vague traces of major sects.
Although the Lord of Huangsha Island is only a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training, he is backed by the Seventy-two Islands Alliance, which is known as the largest and most powerful local force in Longhu.
Each of the seventy-two island masters is a master in the late stage of Qi training. They also invited a casual cultivator who was in the foundation-building stage to be the chief leader. In Longhu Lake, they are considered the overlords.
"Huangsha Island!"
In the distance, I saw a yellowish-brown island ahead, and someone was vaguely flying across the sky with a sword.
"Fellow Daoist, please stay!"
"Please register before entering Huangsha Island!"
As soon as Chen Changsheng pressed the sword light, two Qi training monks came directly towards him.
"I am Chen Changsheng, a casual cultivator from Shouyang Mountain!" Chen Changsheng said with a bow.
"Shouyang Mountain? Fellow Daoist, you are so lucky!" One of the monks laughed.
"Yes, in the past two days, we brothers have received more than ten cultivators from Shouyang Mountain. I heard that the cultivators there attacked the mountain and even the Shouyang Song family couldn't hold on. It was so tragic..." said another cultivator.
"Alas, that's how it is... I was just lucky to escape with my life!" Chen Changsheng nodded.
"Fellow Daoist, you are a casual cultivator. I'm afraid you may not be able to return to Shouyang Mountain in the future. I'm Huang Jin from Huangsha Island. I'm here on the orders of the master of Huangsha Island to recruit casual cultivators to Shouyang Mountain. I wonder if you think highly of Huangsha Island?" Huang Jin said with a bow.
Chen Changsheng's cultivation level is the fifth level of Qi training. This level is actually very good, so he is definitely worth recruiting!
"Join Huangsha Island? This..." Chen Changsheng frowned when he heard this...
He has no plans to join any faction yet.
Even if you want to join, you should at least do some research...
"Haha, fellow Daoist, don't worry. You can stay in Huangsha Island for the time being and get to know it better. If you are interested in the future, Huangsha Island will always welcome you!" Huang Jin said with a smile.
"In that case, thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Huang. I'll go to the market first!" Chen Changsheng bowed.
"Okay, fellow Taoist, please follow this direction and go five miles forward, and you will see the market town!" Huang Jin said.
"Thank you!"
Chen Changsheng said this and headed straight towards the market.
"Third brother, do you think he can join our Huangsha Island?" Huang Rui looked at Huang Jin and said.
"I don't know. Let it be. Our Huangsha Island is the closest to Shouyang Mountain. It is the first choice for the escaped cultivators from Shouyang Mountain. Like a blind cat catching a dead mouse, there will always be a few left..." Huang Jin said indifferently.
Huangsha Island only has a superior geographical location, but other than that, it doesn't really have any significant advantages...
It is said to be backed by the Alliance of Seventy-two Islands, but as the name suggests, it is an alliance of seventy-two island owners, and Huangsha Island is just one of them. The seventy-two islands are divided into the upper six islands, the middle eighteen islands, and the lower forty islands.
Huangsha Island is only one of the Lower Forty Islands and is not a major power at all. If they want to attract cultivators to join, they can only rely on fate...
