All Heavens: Achieving Great Supernatural Powers from the Journey to the West

Chapter 65 Shangsi Festival

A few days later, Xu Xuanzhi returned to the world of Journey to the West with a bunch of local products.

I have to say that there are so many seasonings in the future and they are so good. And those recipes made his cooking skills improve a lot.

In the world of Journey to the West, with the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, countless monks and demons ended up, some harming one party, and some subduing demons.

These monks and monsters all have at least half of their magic power, or they are monsters that have been refined for hundreds of years. They come out to collect money or eat blood.

In this great catastrophe of cause and effect that affected the entire Central Plains and the Celestial Kingdom, as long as those extraordinary people raised their heads, they could see wisps of blood mist filling the sky.

"It's been a few months. Island Master Xu hasn't come back yet? The Shangsi Festival is coming soon, so the things that the people nearby asked me to do haven't been done yet."

By the Jinshen Lake, Ye Changning walked back and forth anxiously, but he never sensed the aura of Island Master Xu.

As for the Dragon Palace at the bottom of the lake, Ao Qing took a bite of peach fruit out of boredom and tapped his fingers on the stone table beside him.

"Come here! Let's see if Island Master Xu has returned!"

As soon as she gave the order, a Loach general came out of the Dragon Palace to check whether Xu Xuanzhi had returned.

Not long after, the loach general rushed back in a hurry.

"Report! Island Master Xu has returned!"

Every half an hour, Ao Qing would call these soldiers and generals to take a look at the situation. This time, she finally waited until Xu Xuanzhi came back.

As soon as General Ni Loach finished speaking, Ao Qing straightened up his appearance and crossed the water to the treasure island in the middle of the lake.

On the Immortal Platform, under the Ningxin Pavilion, Xu Xuanzhi was carefully studying Song Weiyi's golden elixir.

That peerless golden elixir was condensed by a genius who practiced for hundreds of years. It possesses twenty-three magical powers and is proficient in the three disasters of Taiyi!

"Island Master Xu! Long time no see!"

The beauty in palace attire had a dignified posture. She came to sit in front of Xu Xuanzhi, picked up a spiritual peach and ate it.

"Well, your spiritual peach is getting more and more delicious. How about selling me a peach tree? Then I will steal the spiritual tree from the South China Sea Dragon Palace and give it to you." Ao Qing said jokingly.

"Haha, of course it doesn't matter. As long as the Ninth Princess can feed her, so what if I give you ten?"

On the Immortal Platform, the most important thing was neither the square orchard nor the ten thousand-year-old green bamboo, but the god-given monument and the land beneath his feet.

The former is a gift from heaven and has various magical effects; the latter is the manifestation of rules, which has enhanced functions and rapid growth for any plant, spiritual species or fairy species.

Speaking of which, when he came back, he turned over the soil on the entire Immortal Platform again, so that it was at the middle to upper level of ordinary land, and it could also increase by dozens of times.

There are also many special spiritual trees in the Sifang Taoyuan, which have also been upgraded to red earth like spiritual tea, and can grow for a hundred years in one day.

After these spiritual trees are full of fruits, they will focus their growth on themselves and improve the quality of the spiritual trees.

According to his calculations, regardless of the bottleneck of qualitative change, at the current speed, it will take tens of thousands of years for the first spiritual tree to bear fairy fruit and transform into a fairy tree.

Tens of thousands of years, based on Xu Xuanzhi's current lifespan, would be enough for him to die hundreds of times.

Thinking of this, Xu Xuanzhi couldn't help but shook his head. "Island Master Xu, why are you doing this?" Ao Qing asked suddenly when he saw Xu Xuanzhi shaking his head.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought that the road to immortality is long and seems a bit far away." Xu Xuanzhi replied.

"Haha, Island Master Xu is sitting on a treasure land and possessing these treasures of spiritual fruits. As long as he has the perseverance to seek the truth, becoming an immortal is just a smooth road!" Ao Qing smiled and suddenly 'conjured' a chessboard.

"Would you like to have a fight with me?"

Go contains the wonders of heaven and man. Whether they are mortals in the lower world or gods in the upper world, they all like to play chess, drink tea, drink wine, and talk about Taoism.

If there is another treasure, a few elixirs, drinks, spiritual fruit treasures, etc., we can even hold a 'conference' and have some fun.

As for those monsters and mountain spirits, their conference is even simpler.

Just go to the foot of the mountain to catch a few people and hold a 'Heart and Liver Banquet' or a 'Human Flesh Party', and you can make those monsters, big and small, drink wine happily. It would be even better if we could catch a few more capable demon hunters and Taoists!

Journey to the West is a world of peace and joy, but that is only for people at the level of immortals. Once you become an immortal, no matter whether it is a demon immortal or a human immortal, no one will deliberately seek trouble for you, and there will be no such thing as a big demon eating several immortals in one meal.

To become an immortal is to be successful in one life and in all generations. Until the end of the Yuanhui, those immortals who cannot control themselves and are still sinking in reincarnation will completely turn into mortals and suffer from the ignorance of reincarnation.

If you don't completely become a mortal, even if you die and enter reincarnation, as long as some immortal friends are willing to take the trouble to help you, you will have an epiphany in another life, and you can return to your immortal nature and continue to live a happy life.

But what if you have offended someone during this process, and he will inevitably make you ignorant in reincarnation and completely turn into a mortal?

If an immortal interferes, what power do 'mortals' have to resist?

Therefore, very few people would offend another immortal, even if his strength is much lower than themselves.

"Okay, but Princess Ninth still has to wait for me for a while. Fellow Daoist Ye has been waiting for me by the lake for a long time. I don't know why. He has been waiting there."

Later, while Long Nu laid out the chessboard, Xu Xuanzhi went to the lakeside. When Ye Changning looked surprised, he patted his shoulder.

"Why is Fellow Daoist Ye looking for me?"

Xu Xuanzhi showed a kind smile, which calmed Ye Changning's anxious mood a lot.

"I just want to ask Island Master Xu, do you know about the Yellow Turban Rebellion recently? Also, the Shangsi Festival is here, and the people of Yangcheng want to take a bath at the Jinshen Lake to cleanse themselves and pray to heaven."

"I know about the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Now that the vortex of cause and effect has condensed, everyone with magic knows that the catastrophe has begun. As for the Shangsi Festival?"

Xu Xuanzhi was a little confused, but he knew that during the Shangsi Festival, he needed to go to the wild to bathe and cleanse, and then ward off evil spirits and pray under the guidance of a mage.

"But why do they come to Jinshen Lake?"

Hearing this, Ye Changning was a little embarrassed to say it.

"This is the wish of the people, and their incense can also help us practice. But the most important thing is to pray to heaven for blessings and to ward off evil."

Xu Xuanzhi had only read in books that there was a Shangsi Festival in ancient times, but he had never seen a Shangsi Festival event held. But since it is a blessing ceremony to pray to God, let them forget it.

"Since I am praying to heaven, then I will be as beautiful as a human being. Tomorrow I will disperse the maze so that those plants will no longer attack the intruders."

"But you must maintain order and not let others disturb my purity. Do you understand?"
