Chapter 1206 - 936: Kunlun Void, Turquoise Pool (2)
On the other side, Qu Luming was so stunned he couldn’t speak, and it took him a while to remember to take out the Memory Stone to capture the moment.
Hu Zhile sighed slightly, "What a pity, there’s still no news from Xiao Chuanzi. If he were here, he’d definitely be over the moon." She then thought about her younger sister, who still couldn’t secure a place in the small courtyard and couldn’t participate in such gatherings.
Yun Mo whispered, "I actually think, knowing the master’s temperament, he might just bring this Jasper Pool Immortal Realm back home. Then Xiao Chuanzi could see it when he returns, and there would be no regret."
"Bring it home?" Hu Zhile was startled, her face confused, "Where would you put it?"
But if it could really be brought back, the small courtyard would be even more impressive!
Probably the entire Wilderness World, including the Ancient Ten Great Sects, would want to join the master and become his guests. After all, just being able to witness the Kunlun Divine Mountain is a blessing of three lifetimes, and cultivating beside it would be a dream come true!
In Jiang Yuan’s field of vision, the affection points were soaring so fast they left afterimages.
Right now, he had no patience to care about that. Once the Immortal Shuttle steadily docked at the giant Immortal Gate at the foot of the Kunlun Void, amidst everyone’s eager anticipation, Jiang Yuan gestured with his hand, "Everyone, please wait patiently. I’ll go see what the Kunlun Void looks like after wandering in the Void for so many years. If it’s safe, we’ll land together."
"Master, be careful! How about I join you?" Yan Xuan perked up, desperate to make sure his dream of living in the Jasper Pool wasn’t shattered.
"Sure, you performed well in the Extreme North Secret Realm, so your body should be stronger now than before." Jiang Yuan pondered, glancing at the Celestial Mirror where shadows could occasionally be seen in the Celestial River, none of them pleasant. Many battles undoubtedly occurred before and after the Celestial Realm’s collapse.
There might still be remnants of creatures post-war in the Kunlun Void and Jasper Pool, so bringing Yan Xuan could save a lot of trouble.
The others were extremely envious, but none could match the strength of a Peak Tribulation Crossing Great Demon Beast, so they could only watch eagerly as it followed Jiang Yuan out of the Immortal Shuttle, landing on the jade stone steps below the Immortal Gate.
[Special Task: Celestial Court · Jasper Pool]
[Jasper Pool: Residence of the Queen Mother of the West, located at the peak of the Kunlun Void. Above the Jasper Pool stands the magnificent Lingyun Stalactite, with vivid colors, and the pool below is as calm as a mirror.
The Lingyun Stalactite absorbs the Essence of Heaven and Earth, taking a hundred years to form a single drop of Holy Water. Countless years of sedimentation have ultimately created the Jasper Pool. Find the Jasper Pool and accumulate materials to gradually repair it, ultimately obtainable as Jasper Pool Immortal Realm. Please complete the task to gain usage rights for the Celestial Court · Jasper Pool]
[Task 1: Repair the Nine Gates and Nine Wells.]
As he stepped onto the fragments, task details popped up in his vision, accompanied by a large pale blue arrow flashing to guide the way. Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but raise a brow, signaling Yan Xuan to follow him to see what materials were needed for repairing the Nine Gates and Nine Wells.
Since embarking on the Void journey, one by one collecting those rescue coordinates, the charitable orders have dwindled.
Up to now, he hadn’t received any orders, likely because the reception signal range of the Level Eight Floating Market was limited. Even after using two Building Upgrade Cards to upgrade the Floating Market to Level Ten, he couldn’t receive any more charitable orders.
Although he stockpiled a considerable amount of materials in the warehouse, he still felt a bit apprehensive.
"Master, this Divine Mountain seems to have thin Spiritual Energy and lacks vitality," Yan Xuan mumbled softly as he followed his master up the steps, sensing as he climbed, "Could it be that even the legendary Divine Beast guarding the Kunlun Mountain has perished?"
"Maybe they went to fight in the Outer Heaven. After all, the Celestial Realm has collapsed, so the Divine Beasts wouldn’t have a reason to defend a fragment to the death." Jiang Yuan looked up, the towering mountain making their group seem like dust, "Let’s speed up and quickly figure out the situation here."
"Alright!" Yan Xuan’s body expanded, bowing his head down, "Master, climb on and point the way, watch me take you on a wild gallop!"
When it came time to perform, it was more enthusiastic than anyone. As soon as Jiang Yuan settled down and pointed the direction, Yan Xuan dashed off in a flash, the speed causing his eardrums to hum.
In just over ten seconds, they sighted a collapsed Immortal Gate, and Jiang Yuan immediately commanded, "Stop, stop, stop! This is it."
"Screech..."
Yan Xuan was moving so fast he almost couldn’t stop, but fortunately, his tough skin and thick hide allowed him to stop right in front of the collapsed Immortal Gate using his claws as brakes.
A massive blue gear icon slowly rotated on the ruins.
Jiang Yuan jumped down, clicked to check, and instantly breathed a sigh of relief—no special materials required!
[Repair Materials List: 20 Pearl Tree Trunks (findable in the forest, requires Woodcutting Skill Level 12, Purple Crystal Stone Axe); 20 Xenoliths (findable in the South Mountain, requires Mining Skill Level 12, Purple Crystal Stone Pickaxe) ...]
A pop-up showed the materials needed for repair and the location to find them, leaving Jiang Yuan secretly delighted.
Wasn’t this convenient? Just yesterday, he upgraded the last tool, a scythe, to Purple Crystal Stone quality, and today it’s needed!
"What a pity, judging by the remains of this collapsed Immortal Gate, it must have been huge and beautiful." Yan Xuan fiddled with scattered, unknown materials on the ground, shaking his head and sighing, "Why pay attention to this pile of rubble, Master? Shouldn’t we go up to see Jasper Pool?"
He glanced around; the forest wasn’t far from the winding mountain road. He pointed and said, "I need to chop some trunks from there for materials to rebuild this Immortal Gate."
Build a gate?
Though he couldn’t fathom how his master could suppress his eager heart and resist going straight up to see the most awe-inspiring Jasper Pool Immortal Realm, Yan Xuan unconditionally complied, cheerfully saying, "Hey! We just need a few trees, right? Master, whichever you fancy, just point it out, and I’ll handle it!"
Whether it was due to the thin Spiritual Energy, the towering trees in the forest were long dead, leaving only massive trunks stretching into the sky.
There were many tree species, but all were withered, looking quite similar. Jiang Yuan could only rely on the system identification to locate the necessary Pearl Trees.
Moments later, on a tall, blackened tree was labeled [Pearl Tree], which caught his eye, prompting him to take out the Purple Crystal Stone Axe and start chopping away.
It lived up to being a tree growing on the Kunlun Divine Mountain, massive with lots of health. Even with the Purple Crystal Stone Axe, it took him twenty to thirty chops to bring the tree down.
"Master, let me handle this!" Seeing this, Yan Xuan attempted to bulldoze through with brute force, but Jiang Yuan stopped him, pointing at an even larger tree nearby, "You try dealing with that one; I’ll handle this. Rebuilding the Immortal Gate needs twenty trees, so splitting up is more efficient."
"Okay!" Yan Xuan agreed cheerfully, prancing over to face the dead tree, landing a paw on it.
However, the long-dead giant tree didn’t budge, aside from making a muffled sound, with the bark unscathed.
"What the...?" Yan Xuan’s eyes widened, the feathers on his bird head bristling, chuckling, "Not bad, not bad, the trees on the Divine Mountain sure are something. Damn it, let’s see you take this hit!"
His body expanded further, using eighty percent strength to slam his paw down!
"Boom!"
Once again a muffled sound, the bark remained intact, the trunk unmoving. Yan Xuan’s paw was jarred back, causing him to grimace and suck in a breath. Turning back, his master had already felled his large tree, the giant tree gradually toppling without hitting other woods, turning into green light points as it vanished.
"Whoa! Kudos to the master!" Yan Xuan earnestly admired, shrinking back a bit and gesturing excitedly at the tree that had thwarted him, "Chop it! Chop this tree down too!"
Jiang Yuan wielded the gleaming purple axe, walking over and resuming chopping away. Before long, another tree was stored in the Storage Bag, the task list in the taskbar changing to (2/20).
After chopping enough trees, Yan Xuan carried him flying to the mapped South Mountain, where relying on the Earth Mirror Book’s passive skills, he began mining xenoliths... After about an hour and a bit more effort, finally, the materials needed to repair the first gate were gathered.
Clicking the repair button, that pile of rubble on the ground was enveloped in a milky white mist.
Faint tinkling sounds could be heard. After a dozen seconds, the progress bar completed, the white mist dissipated, and the repaired Immortal Gate stood on the stone platform. Ancient and sacred, with a faint Spiritual Energy drifting down, it had some of the elegance an Immortal Gate should have.
"Oh, I get it!" Yan Xuan inhaled a breath of the Spiritual Energy emanating and was suddenly enlightened, "The Kunlun Divine Mountain has been abandoned for a long time, and its own Immortal Energy severed. The master needs to repair its damaged parts.
By then, it will emit Immortal Energy once again, becoming the glorious Divine Mountain of old! In this case, climbing to the top now would probably be futile. The Jasper Pool must have long dried up, or its Immortal Energy vanished."
Jiang Yuan nodded with a smile, "This is indeed a major undertaking. We should hurry, and once repairs are secure here, we can invite everyone to come and take a look."
