Chapter 352: Chapter 351: Penglai Fairy Island

Penglai Fairy Island is located on the back of the Nine Provinces continent, surrounded by sea, it is a rare stronghold of the human race among the Four Seas.

The days and nights on the backside of the Nine Provinces continent are reversed as when it’s day on the front side, it’s night on the back.

Jiang Li always thinks of the geocentric theory from his previous life when he hears this fact, the theory that states their planet is the center of the universe and the sun orbits around them.

This was later proven false.

But in the world of Nine Provinces, the geocentric theory is correct.

The stars honor the sun and the moon, while the sun and moon respect the Nine Provinces continent. The celestial bodies orbit the Nine Provinces continent, which is undeniably the center of the universe.

Legend has it that initially the Nine Provinces continent was not in the center of the universe. It was relocated to the middle due to the OCD of the ascetic ancestors who believed the center was a more pleasing position.

However, this legend is so ancient that even the long-lived immortal sages cannot confirm its authenticity.

Of course, Jiang Li was also capable of accomplishing something as minor as moving an entire continent.

“So this is the flying boat, it’s quite ingeniously constructed.” The Red Dust Fairy, her face veiled, curiously leaned over the railings, her big, animated eyes looking at the clouds and the vast sea beneath.

This was her second time out of her sect, and everything in the Nine Provinces is novel to her, everything deserved to be experienced.

This naturally included the flying boat used for the transportation of low-level cultivators.

A blue continent slowly emerged from the water, spewing clouds and mist, the continent growing bigger and bigger, until it was too big to see in just one glance.

Hum—

The blue continent made a clear, resonant sound and revealed a large tail.

It turns out it’s not a continent, but a giant Kun (mythological whale).

“Look look, isn’t that a Kun?” The Red Dust Fairy joyfully pointed out the creature she recognized from the “Immortal Beasts Guide”.

Not just the Red Dust Fairy, the other women cultivators on the flying boat were also witnessing the giant Kun for the first time, all of them huddled at the railing to watch.

Red Dust Fairy blended in perfectly among the group of low-ranked women cultivators.

“Can’t Clan Ancestor be quiet for a while?” Pure Heart Saintess felt helpless, feeling as if her Clan Ancestor was like her when she first descended the mountain, the sense of déjà vu was too strong.

“As always, Red Dust Fairy is as naive and spontaneous.” Jiang Li laughed, this flying boat was headed to Penglai Fairy Island, and it was full of women cultivators. To avoid attracting attention, Jiang Li made himself invisible and stayed close to Pure Heart Saintess.

Pure Heart Saintess subtly moved half a step closer to Jiang Li, her lips curling into a small, blissful smile.

“I heard the disciples of Penglai Fairy Island train extremely hard. They are still practicing while we are sleeping. They truly deserve to be disciples of the Six Major Sects.” a female cultivator commented, drawing a chorus of admiration from the others, their hearts filled with longing for Penglai Fairy Island.

Jiang Li thought to himself, well this is obvious, when you all are sleeping at night, it’s daytime for Penglai Fairy Island.

“I also heard that Mo Ruoyu, the leader of Penglai Fairy Island, was once married, but her husband died soon after.”

“I had the honor of seeing Mo, the Island Master, at the Dao Sect Appraisal Conference. She was truly so beautiful that even women would be moved. It’s said that many cultivators harbor secret affections for her.””But Master Mo treats all pursuers with indifference. Some people say that Master Mo has a husband-killing curse, and it’s not known if she remains unmarried because of this reason.”

Jiang Li heard all the gossip along the way, making his ears practically calloused by the time the flying boat reached Penglai Fairy Island.

Along the way, Red Dust Fairy saw many novel things: A Kun transforming into a Peng and soaring across the sky, an army of shrimp soldiers and crab generals conducting military exercises in the sea, Li Er being pursued and blocked by his wife, a Dragon Son flaunting his wealth and showing off his financial strength…

Penglai Fairy Island has an equal number of male and female cultivators. However, the island leader, Mo Ruoyu, is a female cultivator with a strong personality, resulting in the female disciples of Penglai Fairy Island having slightly higher status than the male disciples.

The most obvious manifestation of this is during the Shangsi Festival when male disciples have to visit the Dragon Palace as guests.

Penglai Fairy Island is shrouded in mist all year round. Only the disciples know the correct way to enter. If one recklessly tries to enter, they will wander forever in the mist.

The mist is actually the Sect Protection Array of Penglai Fairy Island.

After disembarking from the flying boat, a female disciple from Penglai Fairy Island came over to verify their gender. In the past, there were quite a few male cultivators who disguised themselves with the aim to participate in the Shangsi Festival.

Those who were discovered were immediately exposed by Penglai Fairy Island, letting all the cultivators in the Nine Provinces know about these frauds.

“Are you Pure Heart Saintess?” a disciple from Penglai Fairy Island took the note handed over by Pure Heart Saintess and couldn’t help exclaiming in surprise. The others on the boat had not expected that someone as important as Pure Heart Saintess would have traveled via a flying boat.

“And the person with you is…” The Penglai Fairy Island disciple had never seen someone wrapped so tightly. But her eyes, her eyes were captivating, as if one could stare into them forever.

“She’s shy and doesn’t like meeting people, could you please understand.” Pure Heart Saintess certainly couldn’t let anyone reveal her Guru’s face, it’d cause a big commotion.

Judging by the expressions on the disciples, the Guru, by just her eyes alone, could attract people.

Even if they were the same gender.

Pure Heart Saintess’ clean and pure image worked as expected and the Penglai Fairy Island disciples didn’t believe that Pure Heart Saintess would bring a man to the Shangsi Festival.

The invisible Jiang Li trailed behind Pure Heart Saintess, remaining silent.

Upon stepping foot on Penglai Fairy Island, many cultivators felt a surge of energy. The spiritual energy here was very rich, their own sect’s best cultivation caves couldn’t compare to the spiritual energy concentration here.

Precious spirit plants thrived everywhere, growing lush. At a glance, there were over a dozen spirit plants that could directly enhance one’s cultivation level after ingestion.

However, Red Dust Fairy showed no interest in the rich spiritual energy or the spirit plants everywhere.

Her own sect, Red Dust Pure Land, had these as well. Moreover, it was even more abundant than on Penglai Fairy Island.

“Penglai Fairy Island hasn’t changed a bit.” Jiang Li smiled. He had been to Penglai Fairy Island several times and was quite familiar with this scenario.

At the stage of Divinity Transformation, Jiang Li encountered a mishap during his practice. He lost all his cultivation, suffered severe injuries and was left drifting about the East Sea, in grave danger of being swallowed by passing sea tribes.

At that moment Mo, the Island Master, happened to be passing by and picked up Jiang Li, bringing him back to Penglai Fairy Island. Jiang Li lived there for two months, recovered from his injuries, and then left after expressing his gratitude to Island Master Mo.

After Jiang Li became the Human Emperor, he visited Penglai Fairy Island several times to share his cultivation experiences as a way of repaying Island Master Mo for saving his life.

Pure Heart Saintess is a top figure among female cultivators. Many female cultivators see her as their role model. For example, Song Ying, who always followed Qin Luan, chose to take Pure Heart Saintess’s form in the Mysterious Secret Realm.

As opposed to Yu Yin, who controls the imperial court and has a domineering personality, female cultivators rather prefer the pure and kind Pure Heart Saintess.

Therefore, the arrival of Pure Heart Saintess on Penglai Fairy Island caused a huge stir.

Out of respect for Pure Heart Saintess, people did not crowd around her, but formed a large crowd that moved as Pure Heart Saintess moved, making Pure Heart Saintess feel uncomfortable.

“What’s the point of crowding around?” A faint voice resounded among the crowd. Yu Yin, who had discarded her imperial robe for casual clothes, slowly walked over, her eyes lightly adorned with golden eyeshadow.

Even though she is wearing casual clothes, her imperial dignified attitude doesn’t decrease, it even feels stronger and heavier.

Yu Yin didn’t use her cultivation, and just with her aura alone, she scared all the female cultivators into running away.

“Thank you, Empress, for coming to my rescue.” Pure Heart Saintess thanked her.

“We may not interact much, but we are, after all, acquaintances. Just call me Yu Yin.”
