Immortal Travel of Longevity

Chapter 1237: Inverted Hanging Mountain

Xuanji was a sensible child. In her eyes, there was no such thing as getting something for nothing in this world. After arriving at her new home, she often swept the floors and washed the dishes, not daring to slack off.

She was even more afraid—afraid that all of this was fake, that it would shatter at the lightest touch.

Her maturity was heartbreaking.

Dong Chiyu had reasoned with her many times, telling her that this was her home and she didn't need to act this way. But the girl had a knot in her heart and simply could not be swayed.

Sometimes, Dong Chiyu couldn't help but sigh to Ruyi, "Xuanji is so well-behaved. I wonder if it's a blessing we earned in our past lives."

Ruyi strongly agreed. "Maybe it really is..."

Dong Chiyu liked Xuanji very much and often held her as they slept. Though they rarely spoke, it made Xuanji feel incredibly safe, and she always slept soundly.

To her, having food to eat and a place to live was already more than enough.

Both of her mothers were very, very good people.

"Big Sister, there's an older girl outside asking for you."

When Ruyi came out and saw Yu Hongjin, she said to Xuanji, "She's not an older girl. Hmm... you should call her Auntie Hongjin."

Xuanji blinked in surprise. "Auntie?"

Yu Hongjin was also taken aback. She reached out and patted the little girl's cheek. "What a well-behaved girl..."

Xuanji felt a bit uncomfortable having her cheek touched.

Seeing this, Yu Hongjin pulled her hand back and asked, "What's your name?"

Xuanji opened her mouth and replied, "Auntie Hongjin, I have two names. Wang Xuanji or Dong Xuanji. Big Sister says if I do something bad, I'll be Wang Xuanji."

Yu Hongjin burst out laughing. She looked at Ruyi and said, "Only you two would give a child two names."

Ruyi crossed her arms. "What's wrong with that? What's the harm in having an extra name when traveling the jianghu?"

Yu Hongjin nodded slightly. "Makes sense."

Yu Hongjin thought for a moment, then pulled something from her robes.

It was a beautiful Gourd.

"For you."

Ruyi quickly intervened. "Hey now, children can't drink. Don't go messing around."

Yu Hongjin laughed. "Look at you being so protective. It's an empty Gourd I made myself. Just a little trinket for the kid to play with."

Xuanji looked up at Ruyi.

"If your Auntie Hongjin gave it to you, go ahead and accept it," Ruyi said.

Xuanji pursed her lips and reached out to take it.

"Thank you, Auntie."

"So sweet..."

Yu Hongjin patted her head. It was one thing for this little girl to be so adorable, but her voice was also wonderfully sweet.

"Come play with me later, Xuanji. I live right across the way."

"Okay~"

Yu Hongjin handed over the wine she had brought for Ruyi and returned to her own courtyard.

Xuanji watched her go. Only after the door closed did she ask, "Big Sister, Auntie looks so young. She doesn't even look older than me."

"Her?" Ruyi said. "She's much older than you. She's even older than your Big Sister..."

Xuanji blinked, not quite understanding.

"Go play at your auntie's place more often. She knows a lot of things, and she has a lot of good things on her too."

"Big Sister..."

Xuanji called out helplessly.

Big Sister was always telling her to coax things out of people. Last time, she had even claimed Second Mother had a lot of treasures. Xuanji had no idea what was wrong with Big Sister, always coveting other people's belongings.

"Hehe."

Xuanji couldn't help but feel that Big Sister was a bit unreliable. With that thought, she took her Gourd and went to find Second Mother.

"Second Mother, Second Mother! Auntie Hongjin gave me a Gourd. It's so pretty."

"Is it now? Let Second Mother take a look..."

With Xuanji around, the courtyard was rarely idle. Whenever Ruyi had free time, she would chat with Xuanji, filling her head with all sorts of nonsense.

"Back in the day, your Second Mother was incredibly fierce. In Shangjing City, she used the Jinwu Guard as stepping stones and cracked her reins. She didn't look one bit inferior to a general charging across a battlefield."

"Stop listening to your Big Sister's nonsense," Dong Chiyu retorted. "We are an ordinary family. We don't have all those jianghu affairs."

"Big Sister, Second Mother says you're bragging..."

"Hahaha..."

Ruyi laughed out loud and nodded. "That's right, your Big Sister is bragging."

Dong Chiyu shot her a cold glare. Ruyi quickly surrendered, not daring to say another word.

In this household, Dong Chiyu was still the one in charge.

That book was nearly finished.

Under Zhao Yuqing's watchful gaze, the book grew visibly thinner.

Meanwhile, countless demons and deities had already manifested within the current dreamscape. Across the Nine Provinces, all kinds of demons and gods roamed. There was a True Dragon churning the ocean waters, a phoenix burning with scorching flames, and a monstrously evil Great Demon that devoured both men and monsters.

This place was becoming more and more real, making it increasingly difficult to spot any flaws.

This also frequently gave Zhao Yuqing a false impression.

It felt as if this were no longer a dream!

Such an illusion was highly dangerous. Within the Dream Method, there was always a saying: the more the entrant recognized the place as fake, the safer they were. But the more they believed it to be real, the more likely they were to sink into the dreamscape, unable to escape.

Because of this, Zhao Yuqing didn't dare stay in the dream for too long. He would occasionally return to the Underworld to clear his head.

Whenever Manyue saw him come out, she would always ask about the situation.

Zhao Yuqing's expression remained grave. "The situation is progressing well, but I have a very bad feeling about it. I keep thinking he isn't creating a dream, but rather creating a world."

"Creating a dream is fundamentally the same as creating a world," Manyue replied.

Zhao Yuqing disagreed. "How can the two be conflated? Dreams are fake, while worlds are real. Something this massive... how could it possibly turn from fake to real? It's simply impossible."

Manyue flipped through the book. "In ancient times, there were cultivators who formed worlds from dreams. It's actually not that difficult."

Zhao Yuqing frowned. "You know more about this. Why don't you explain it to me?"

"The Dream Method is also part of the natural order," Manyue said. "In the distant past, a few cultivators immersed themselves in dreams and established worlds of their own. Over time, several renowned figures emerged. Among them was one titled True Lord Baichuan, who managed to manifest things from his dreams and turn them into physical reality."

"That actually worked?!"

"Of course."

Manyue nodded, though she quickly changed her tone. "However, it isn't easy. True Lord Baichuan was already considered an exceptionally rare prodigy in millions of years, yet even he only managed to manifest a single Immortal Mountain out of a dream."

"You should be very familiar with this Immortal Mountain."

Manyue's words caught Zhao Yuqing off guard.

"What?"

"Back then, that Immortal Mountain was called the Inverted Hanging Mountain. Later on, it changed its name to Yunfu Mountain, which is your domain."

Zhao Yuqing suddenly felt his scalp prickle, his thoughts immediately thrown into chaos.

"My domain? You're saying Yunfu Mountain..."

He stood completely dumbfounded. At this point, he truly couldn't distinguish reality from illusion anymore.

How could there be such bizarre Divine Abilities in this world!
