Chapter Ninety-Seventh: The Withered South Abyss

r, when it comes to "a sea of people," or even further, to "people" themselves, how much does he truly understandThe world is full of myriad phenomena, and people come in all shapes and sizes.Although...The Divine Descent Path, as its name suggests, is the path walked by mountain gods and sea gods. It traverses mountains and seas, connecting east and west.

《Shan Hai Yi Shou Zhi》 is a very interesting book. Many of the contents it records seem to be depictions of the history of the Shan Hai realm, and most of the records can be found in the Shan Hai realm.

These descriptions can be found in Shan Hai Jing with corresponding and non-corresponding entries, and some can be traced back to ancient history in the present world.

Moreover, of course, there are some tales that are nowhere to be found and whose truth is unknown.

Therefore, some people have always believed that the world of the Shan Hai Jing is actually a small world that split off from an ancient era in our own world. This belief stems from the absence of any human presence and the preservation of historical features within this realm.

Of course, this statement is far less popular than the extraterrestrial hypothesis and the Huang Yi True Creation theory.

According to the legends recorded in Shan Hai Yi Shou Zhi, the mountain gods and sea gods stationed in various locations used this divine descent path to visit each other and play in the mountains and seas. Later, when the heavens collapsed and the earth cracked, this path was severed, so the mountain gods and sea gods no longer visited each other.

To seek this path is a difficult matter.

But Jiang Wang had already obtained the transmission on Mount Zhang'e, knowing the location of the mountain god wall—which was precisely the key gateway to the path of divine descent.

The North Pole Heavenly Cabinet Mountain, because the mountain god is lost, the mountain god wall will not appear at all, and it will be impossible to connect the divine descent path.

>

In other words, to cross the bridge of mountains or seas, one must reach a place where mountain gods or sea gods reside, thus gaining access to the legendary Rainbow Bridge.

Those divinely-named beasts are none to be trifled with.

If one rashly invades the mountains, there is a high probability that the entire army will be wiped out.

Jiang Wang considered it for a long time, but finally decided to bring people back to Zhang'e Mountain. After all, it's better to be cooked than raw...

Although the direction of the Shan Hai Realm is difficult to discern, Jiang Wang could still find his way back to places he had already visited.

The agency's mecha, Horugama, tirelessly delivered the three individuals to near their destination, but due to its imposing size, it was quickly taken in.

“The mountain of Zhang'e is adorned with jade-green quality.”

The jadeite, abundant on the mountain, obviously has a good market value.

>

Looking at this floating mountain, even Zuo Guangshu said, "This mountain's guardian spirit must be extraordinary!"

“Although that five-tailed demon fox isn't very amiable, I think the three of us working together should be able to reason with it.”

Jiang Wang didn't know if he was comforting himself or the other two people. Anyway, he just casually rallied them with a sentence and took the lead to sneak up the mountain.

"To be honest," is just talk, Jiang Wang wouldn't dare to show up in front of them now.

This time is different from the last.

Under the circumstances of already being very familiar with Zhang'e Mountain, Yue Tiannu and Zuo Guangshu displayed their profound background, stacking numerous hidden techniques to cope with various situations.

Three people moved like a gentle breeze, leaving no trace as they ascended Mount Zhang'e. They took the most direct route, their destination being the Wall of the Mountain God.

Thankfully, that Zzing wasn't here. It probably went somewhere to take a nap again.

“Why is this mountain god wall so pitted” Yue Tiannu frowned and inspected it. “A big chunk is also missing here.”

Zuo Guangshu smiled and said, "It's just like being robbed."

Jiang Wang remained composed: "Let's get down to business."

The three of them almost simultaneously unleashed their Taoist arts.

Then, the entire Mount Zhe was bustling with activity!

A large flock of flame finches chirped and flew chaotically all over the mountain.

Three puppet monks, wielding iron staffs, each moved in a separate direction, recklessly dismantling the stone forest.

Once again, a great flood inundated the mountains. The water split and transformed into dragons, tigers, pigs, and leopards, rampaging everywhere.

In the blink of an eye, the mountains were filled with noise and chaos everywhere. Even Wutou , I imagine, would have woken up from his slumber in a daze, wondering where all this commotion came from.

Besides, the three individuals also set up many magic traps along the path that Wuwei Aozhen had to take to reach Mount Shenshi. Of course, it's impossible to truly stop Aozhen, but as long as they could divert his attention and slow him down even slightly, it would be a success.

As previously planned, the commotion began, and the three immediately broke cover, flying down to the foot of Mount Shenbi.

Jiang Wang casually pinched a Bi Fang seal and pressed it on the mountain god's wall. Following Zuo Guangshu's instructions, he used the name of Zhang E, the divine being, to open the path for the gods' descent.

The white jade bi, imbued with light and brilliance, radiated an aura of holiness.

But behold, a long rainbow appeared at the edge of the sky, breaking through clouds of smoke for miles. It crossed Mount Zhang'e and stretched across the heavens. Its beginning and end were unknown.

In the middle of the mountain god's wall, a doorway appeared. It was ancient and elegant, inscribed with beast patterns.

Jiang Wang stretched out his hand and pressed it against the door frame, saying urgently: "You guys go in first."

Zuo Guangshu and Yue Tiannu said nothing, and pushed the door open and entered.

Jiang Wang closely followed behind, casually igniting the Three-Headed True Fire and burning down another large jade bi. He swiftly put it away in his storage pouch.

He slammed the door shut behind him.

Behind the door is Hongqiao.

Multicolored and immersed in the depths of cloud smoke.

The power of the Mountain God's Wall connects to the Divine Descent Path, also leading to various "Divine Residences."

>

Jiang Wang thought, perhaps this is the right way to travel in the Mountains and Seas Realm...

But only a few can slay the Bi Fang and obtain its blood, thus connecting to the Mountain God's Wall.

The limitations of the Shan Hai Realm on cultivation made this path an unattainable dream for outsiders—Zuo Guangshu originally planned to ascend the divine descent path using the Nine Phoenix Feather, so Beiji Tiangui Mountain was his intended starting point.

This chain of events, with the first link broken, somehow manages to connect in this strange way.

The wind blew, but it could not move the people on Rainbow Bridge.

Standing on the Rainbow Bridge, Left Guangshu's expression was rather strange. The puppet-faced Yuetiannu didn't have much of an expression, but his eyes flickered.

Obviously, Jiang Wang's actions of casually digging for treasure had not escaped their notice.

"Don't destroy this door, I'm afraid the evil creature on the other side will catch up." Jiang Wang explained very naturally, then commanded: "Look at the way, Guang Shu, look at what I'm doing Is there a map of Di Nan Yuan on my face"

Although Brother Jiang still has an air of authority.

Left Guangshu honestly turned back, searching intently for Di Nan's manor in the bustling scene.

On the rainbow bridge hanging in the sky, standing still, yet people are swept along with the wind, racing across it. They skim past mountains and seascapes, a truly novel experience.

The speed of the Hongqiao is amazing.

In the Shan Hai Jing, every floating mountain is separated from another by an extremely vast distance. Even if a mountain is within sight, it's not easy to reach, as the saying goes, "You can look at the mountains but run your horse to death before reaching them."

However, standing on the Rainbow Bridge, the floating mountains seemed to be huddled together, swiftly passing before my eyes. One after another, areas dotted with divine residences were continuously receding from sight.

But what shocked Jiang Wang even more was...

If every mountain and sea on the path of divine descent represented one or two mountain and sea gods, then there would be too many strange beasts in this realm who received divine names.

Are there so many divine-tier experts in the Qi State

Is there any in the entire Eastern Region

Only at this moment, the number of mountain gods and sea gods is laid out so clearly before our eyes.

Jiang Wang only then realized, if the Shan Hai Realm was a real world, it was such a powerful one!

"We're here!" Zu Guangshu said suddenly.

The Rainbow Bridge thus stood still.

Jiang Wang raised his eyes and saw only a dark vortex, suspended in front of him.

Yue Tiannu stepped forward, golden light blossoming on her body: "I'll go in first."

She only said that much, and then stepped into the vortex.

The crisis was rampant in the depths of Nan Yuan, she knew her puppet body was more solid than both Jiang Wang and Wei. Thus, she entered first to scout ahead. Nothing else needed to be said.

Jiang Wang followed closely behind, stepping into the pitch-black vortex.

The whole person suddenly relaxed!

Jiang Wang was almost floating away.

In the Shan Hai realm, I'm constantly subjected to a hundredfold gravity compared to the real world. I've actually grown accustomed to it.

This Abyss, though deep, is almost devoid of profound Xuan Qi, much like the emptiness of the cosmos.

The sudden shift in weather almost made everyone lose their balance.

Jiang Wang immediately circulated his energy, sinking his body down.

But just at that moment, the immense weight bearing down on him multiplied hundreds of times over, as if it were going to crush him into a pancake!

The crimson smoke billowed around him, and Jiang Wang immediately activated his Wu Yu Yan Jia.

Zuo Guangshu's creation of this school of Taoism is truly very suitable for this extremely chaotic and complex Xuan environment.

Dao Yuan's power was rapidly being consumed, yet the person remained standing.

Only then did he have time to take in his surroundings.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Wherever the divine path descends, it becomes a sacred dwelling.

That is to say, there must be mountain gods or sea gods guarding it.

Of course, the best-case scenario is that the spirit isn't in the house. But that's just wishful thinking...

According to the plan made by the three of them beforehand, they should hide as soon as they landed. However, at this moment, they couldn't even care about that. If they couldn't even stand up straight, there was no way to hide.

Yuet Tiannu was right in front of him, her body constantly shifting with golden light. She had clearly adapted to the environment as well. As someone who could create a pure land for herself, she had a deeper understanding of the world and would definitely cope with it more easily than Jiang Wang.

"We haven't found anything for the moment." Yue Tiannu said. "But we need to leave quickly."

>

The spirits here must have already been aware of the commotion and are on their way.

Jiang Wang turned his head.

Behind him was a mountain god wall, completely black.

Please note that the original text you provided was simply an HTML tag. If you have text within the tags that needs to be translated, please provide it and I will be happy to help!

In the middle was a doorway, and Left Light Just walked out from inside.

"Take a quick look, do you recognize it"

Jiang Wang directly threw a question into Yun Ding Xian Gong, asking Baiyun Tongzi to analyze the material composition of this mountain god wall.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

After a while, Baiyun Tongzi responded listlessly: “The Xianfang Jing states that when the Sea God dies, his body flows into sand. Over ten thousand years of cosmic light, it forms Mu Hua. Immortal Master, this is exactly the flowing sand wood, one of the main materials for the Immortals Palace's strongmen.”

Jiang Wang was overjoyed, wishing he could immediately summon the Samādhi True Fire to burn it to ashes.

Fortunately, there was still a bit of rationality left. He knew that this would cause irreparable damage, so he forcefully suppressed the eager divine seed.

Left Guangshu stepped out of the dark gate and quickly sensed the complexity of the environment. A faint blue smoke rose from his body, instantly completing the resistance.

Facing Jiang Wang's intense gaze, he couldn't help but say: "Brother Jiang, you watching over me like this makes me nervous."

Jiang Wang thought to himself, "If you move away, you'll know what I'm looking at."

Just one step away from the fairy palace, how can I not be excited...

He gritted his teeth, turned around and left: "Let's hurry up and leave here. We'll come back when we figure out the situation."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Speaking of which, the materials for these Immortal Palace warriors are truly bizarre. They are either transformed from dead mountain gods or dead sea gods...

Within the realm of mountains and seas, perhaps the mountain gods and sea gods are somewhat different.

But in the present world, they all involve Shinto.

Yun Ding Xian Gong is no longer simply acting arrogantly atop the heads of Shinto. It has completely stripped and dismembered Shinto, developing by trampling on its corpse.

From this alone, one can almost see the grand scale of the Nine Great Immortal Palaces back then.

It is important to know that Shinto is by no means a narrow or weak path.

Let's not even talk about the glorious era.

Even in the midst of its current, all-encompassing decline, there remains a hegemonic nation bathed in the divine light of Cang Tu Shen. This dominant nation currently has its troops stationed in fertile lands, ready to unleash carnage upon Jing Guo.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Without some skills up their sleeve, how dare the Yun Ding Immortal Palace act this way

"Brother Jiang," Zuo Guangshu said at this time, "when we leave, we can go somewhere else and don't have to come back."

"No! I have to go back!" Jiang Wang said resolutely.

Seeing Left Light's astonished expression, he softened his tone and said, "Just go back to where you came from. Young people should always have a beginning and an end when they do things."

Left Guang nodded blankly.

Although he didn't quite understand how it all connected. But a figure like Big Brother Jiang, surely there was a reason behind his words

The three of them had a tacit understanding. After briefly observing the surroundings, they were about to leave.

But almost at the same time, he stopped short.

Right before their eyes, a towering rock split open.

To be more precise, it was the accumulated dirt and grime on a certain beast... Who knows how many years it had been accumulating, but at this moment, it exploded outwards, cascading down.

An intangible yet substantial pressure, overwhelming and surging!

Before them stood a strange and disoriented beast.

A dog's head, a bear's body, four legs, and long hair all over its body.

The eyes were large, but dim and lifeless, lacking any sparkle or intelligence, as if unable to see anything at all.

Two wide ears hung down, probably deaf as well, for Jiang Wang did not perceive any sound passing through them.

Its belly was distended and thin, translucent. One could faintly see a straight intestine running through to the end, but there were no shadows of internal organs.

At first glance, it doesn't look particularly fierce. But its strength speaks for itself.

The golden light on Yue Tiannu's body and the Wuyu Yanjia on Jiang Wang Zuo Guangshu's body were all directly crushed under this terrifying pressure!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

When misfortune strikes a person, even drinking cold water can get stuck in their teeth.

I didn't expect that the sea god of Di Nanyuan would actually be located opposite the Sea God Wall!

>

But whenever you sleep elsewhere, there's still a chance to wriggle free.

How is it so different from Mount Zhang'e

As the one who dealt with the Mountain God and Sea God most often in the trio, Jiang Wang stepped forward without hesitation.

On one side, dense Dao Yuan was cultivated within his body, resisting the unpredictable and ever-changing power of the Heavy Xuan in the abyss of Di Annan.

On one side, he patted himself and pointed at the other, laughing loudly: "Me! You! Friends!"

This is a social technique that has been tested and proven effective!

Zuo Guangshu now has almost blind faith in Jiang Wang, and eagerly looks at the opposite side.

The sea god in Diannan's hands remained still, not uttering a word.

A moment of silence hung in the air.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Let's get out of here." Jiang Wang said helplessly, "It's blind and deaf. Even if I go out there, I can't communicate with it."

"How do you escape" was crushed by a wave of pressure. Zuo Guangshu, whose smoke armor had been destroyed, didn't dare to move: "I feel like even if I move my ankle, I'll die."

Jiang Wang said calmly: "Wait for my command. Master Yue uses puppets to entangle this wretch, Guang Shu uses water-walking techniques to create a barrier, dividing the battlefield, and I will come to clear the way for you. When I count one, two, three, we will attack together."

"I am Chaos."

The strange beast suddenly opened its mouth and said, "Don't call me ugly."

It talks about the Tao.
