Tuoba Wugou perceived the aura beneath Celestial Longevity Mountain, eyes full of suspicion.
Previously, she had only heard from Tuoba Qingying about the abundant Spiritual Qi of Celestial Longevity Mountain, almost like a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land, but had never personally experienced it.
Now that she has truly arrived, she finds her heart and spirit profoundly shaken.
As far as the eye can see, a gigantic mountain towering several thousand ters stood before her.
Trees flourish, peaks rise and fall in layers, with clouds drifting and water vapors crossing the scene, truly a landscape of an Immortal Mountain.
Suppressing her inner excitent, she walks leisurely towards Celestial Longevity Mountain.
At this mont, she did not choose Sword Flight, but instead walked alone.
Her status now being different, she certainly didn’t need to sneak into Celestial Longevity Mountain.
Before long, she arrived at the entrance at the mountain’s foot.
"Who goes there!"
As soon as she approached, soldiers appeared, blocking her path.
"Celestial Longevity Mountain is forbidden land, no passage without a Token!"
Tuoba Wugou was prepared and with a flip of her hand, a Token appeared.
This Token was delivered to her yesterday by an eunuch, saying it allowed her to pass through various parts of Celestial Longevity Mountain.
Except for restricted areas at the mountain top, all other peaks could be explored.
"A Token?"
The mountain-guarding soldiers looked curiously at Tuoba Wugou in her Daoist Robe, and after verifying the Token, stepped aside.
"Noble Lady, please."
"The Noble Lady’s Token is a Third-grade Token, allowing access to all peaks except for above the waist of Celestial Longevity Mountain."
"But please, Noble Lady, do not wander carelessly, lest you disrupt a Restriction."
Tuoba Wugou nodded in acknowledgnt, "This true person understands."
After leaving, Tuoba Wugou took out a Divine Movent Talisman and placed it on her legs.
In an instant, her entire figure transford into a spectral blur, rushing up the mountain at incredible speed.
Celestial Longevity Mountain has Restrictions, preventing flight, and she didn’t want to offend that Emperor over trivial matters.
Following the rugged mountain paths, the journey was accompanied by birdsong and fragrant flowers, vibrant and lively.
Streams babbled, water sounds crisp like heavenly music, cleansing the world of its clamor.
To her surprise, in the dense forest of the mountain gorges, spirit monkeys occasionally dart and leap.
Many spirit birds, rabbits, squirrels, and other clever animals occasionally appear and instantly disappear.
The Immortal Mountain has spirit, inevitably drawing myriad animals to gather here.
Given ti, these animals might awaken Spiritual traits due to the Spiritual Qi, becoming Spirit Beasts.
Or perhaps... Demon Beasts!
Not only that, along the way, she frequently saw nurous soldiers guarding certain areas.
Be it in the forests, on cliff edges, or by small streams, they seed to be guarding sothing.
As an alchemist, she quickly sensed what it was.
Spiritual dicines!
These soldiers were actually guarding Spiritual dicines!
On Celestial Longevity Mountain, the quantity of Spiritual dicines is exceedingly abundant, almost every short distance revealing so.
"So many Spiritual dicines, countless tis more than those in Yunng Marsh..."
Before long, her figure reached the halfway point of Celestial Longevity Mountain.
Finding a cliff-appearing pine, she lightly leapt up to stand firmly upon it.
From here, looking out into the distance, the sea of clouds rolls, gathering and dispersing unpredictably, like ocean waves surging through the mountains.
Sunlight filters through the clouds, painting mottled light and shadow, making one feel as if stepping into a dreamlike world.
Here, ti seems to freeze, making one forget worldly troubles, desiring only to imrse in this mystical landscape.
In this mont, Tuoba Wugou found herself entranced.
Indeed.
The Yunng Marsh is also a terrestrial Immortal Realm, with murmuring streams, drifting mist, and dense islands.
But compared to today’s Celestial Longevity Mountain, it pales in comparison.
The Spiritual Qi of Celestial Longevity Mountain is undoubtedly several tis denser than Yunng Marsh.
Tuoba Wugou instinctively took a light breath, at once sensing the dense Spiritual Qi.
Even the cultivation bottleneck that trapped her for countless years seed to loosen slightly.
She was confident that if she could cultivate here for five years...
No!
Three years.
Or even less, she’d be confident to break through the bottleneck of the Peak of Qi Cultivation!
"A Grotto Heaven Blessed Land..."
She thought for a mont, then turned to walk towards another direction.
Azure Dragon Peak.
Located to the southwest side of Celestial Longevity Mountain, a distance of only thirty so li.
However, the terrain is rugged, very difficult to traverse.
Even with Divine Movent Talisman, it took her over half an hour to reach Azure Dragon Peak.
Upon arrival, a colossal mountain like an Azure Dragon stretched before her, like the spine of a giant python, exceedingly majestic.
On both sides were cliffs deep as abyss, rising thousands of ters high.
Occasionally, waterfalls descend from the sky, raising voluminous mists.
A look down the mountain revealed dense primitive forests.
The dense trees, abundant wildlife.
Her vision superb, she observed that even amidst the mountain peaks grew several Spiritual dicines.
Tuoba Wugou’s eyes brightened slightly, her figure rapidly advancing, soon reaching the edge of a rock at Azure Dragon Peak.
In the crevices of the rock grew a piece of purple-black reishi the size of a basin, emitting a faint dicinal aroma.
"Is this... a Purple Jade Reishi? At least thirty years old... how is it here?"
"No, wait... why is no one guarding it!"
She looked up in surprise, examining the surroundings, noticing obvious traces of soldiers’ encampnts, though they were long gone.
"Do they think this Purple Jade Reishi isn’t worth much, or is it... left for my Tuoba Family?"
"Judging by the encampnt traces, it’s been here for at least several months, this..."
