Chapter 675 Peach Garden

Zhu Jiuyin calmly retracted his gaze, knowing that she was referring to the *Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady's Six Ren Divination* scroll.

He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and replied, "It's fine, it was meant to be."

The woman with the sharp aura smiled generously and said, "That day, when I fell into a trap and suffered heavy damage, if you hadn't separated a sliver of your true spirit to be reincarnated into the world, and created this divination technique to stabilize my true spirit, even I don't know how long I would have been in slumber."

"And if your reincarnation hadn't found a way to hand this scroll to him."

"I wouldn't have been able to rely on him to awaken before this great calamity arrives."

"So, I naturally have to thank you."

Zhu Jiuyin said indifferently, "I have also gained much, no need to thank me."

"Oh? Gained..."

The woman narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at Zhu Jiuyin with ancient eyes with interest, sizing him up, and then withdrawing her gaze, smiling, "Judging by your appearance, you don't seem to be planning to say it, so I won't ask."

Zhu Jiuyin remained noncommittal and asked:

"Using the original text of that *Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady's Six Ren Divination* to stabilize your true spirit."

"Why didn't you directly condense your true spirit next to Wei Yuan, but instead appeared in the Nine Netherworld following a wisp of karma?"

"...Are you really unaware, or are you pretending to be?"

"A sword."

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady held out a finger and said lightly, "With Chen Yuan's sword intent."

"Me, in my current state, appearing next to him."

"If he instinctively defends, and strikes with full force in response, a single sword strike could cut my origin and send my true spirit into slumber."

"Although I am in charge of weapons of war, I don't want to experience how strong the swordsmanship of the world's number one swordsman is in my current state, and also..."

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady didn't continue.

During the Tang Dynasty, he walked hundreds of thousands of miles, using a hundred years of mortal life and ups and downs to forge that sword that almost reached the limit of mortals, and now he recalls the past, each life is a great calamity, each life is perhaps equally wonderful, giving enough time to integrate everything into the sword.

How strong will it be then?

"Do you think he can pull out that sword?"

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady suddenly asked.

Zhu Jiuyin was silent for a moment, and said lightly, "I don't know."

"...But, perhaps he can."

The two tacitly didn't continue to discuss this topic.

At this time, words fluttered in the void, and a strand of energy directly locked onto the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady. The words were arranged and combined in the air, turning into a sentence, asking about the current situation. Zhu Jiuyin raised his eyes, and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady's expression didn't change. She wrote casually:

"You fickle human, you are at a dead end whether you advance or retreat at this moment."

"You should go back first."

The words dissipated, and finally, after being combined and scattered by this mystical power, they turned into a language that could be interpreted and transmitted back to the human world. Soon, as if the person performing the divination refused to believe it, he once again asked where to go next.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady divined slightly.

Then, she patiently answered for the time being, "Go northeast, you philandering little brother-in-law."

"If there are no accidents, someone you know is encountering a calamity there."

It was still scattered and transmitted back using the interpretation method of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady's Six Ren Divination.

The woman with sharp eyebrows smiled slightly and said:

"This method created by your reincarnation is quite interesting."

Zhu Jiuyin silently drank tea, not speaking, pretending to ignore this operation.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady smiled and said, "Kunlun is scattered everywhere at the moment, and I have no interest in going to other places. I'll stay in your Nine Netherworld for a while, and then talk about returning to the human world. Zhu Jiuyin, you shouldn't mind, right?"

The man with the ancient face shook his head.

"Don't you plan to meet Jue?"

"No."

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady said, "I don't care about such a short time, as for that Yuan, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

She smiled freely, and then slowly disappeared. At this time, a breath appeared in the world, and the tall Xing Tian appeared in front of Zhu Jiuyin, pouring himself a cup of tea, seemingly relieved—Xing Tian's head is currently unknown where, if he awakens, he will cause a great disturbance, so he often falls asleep during this time.

A wisp of true spirit remained in Zhu Jiuyin's place.

"Finally, she's gone."

Xing Tian sighed.

Zhu Jiuyin glanced at him and said, "Why?"

"Don't you know?"

Xing Tian scratched his head, somewhat helplessly, "I thought you knew, after all, you weren't in the Nine Netherworld at that time... By the way, you said you were in closed-door cultivation at that time, so you probably don't know. Have you ever felt that Xuan Nu is a little too strict with that kid Yuan?"

Zhu Jiuyin raised his eyebrows, "Hmm?"

Xing Tian smiled gently and said:

"I don't understand it very well either."

"It's just that as a civil official, I have to know some allusions."

"I happen to know a little bit about Xuan Nu's affairs."

"In fact, there's a reason for this. Back then, when Yan and Huang joined forces to fight Chi You, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, as the representative of the Kunlun gods, helped Emperor Xuanyuan. At that time, Xuan Nu's mental maturity was like the current Jue, and she encountered a figure like Xuanyuan when she descended the mountain."

"In short, the events of that year are very similar to the present. After falling in love at first sight, there was another woman, Leizu, who fought alongside Xuanyuan, and most importantly, Leizu's personality was extremely similar to that general Yuan encountered back then."

"But we can understand it. At that time, Xuan Nu could be considered Xuanyuan's teacher."

Zhu Jiuyin's eyes were ancient, and he coughed slightly, saying, "Hmm."

Xing Tian sighed again, "And counting them all, the Kunlun goddesses are earth, water, wind, and fire."

"Back then, both Ba and Ying Long ended tragically."

"And when the Queen Mother of the West went out, the one who temporarily took her position was abandoned by King Mu of Zhou, never to return. Xuan Nu now looks at Yuan and Jue as we looked at her and Xuanyuan, Ba and Ying Long back then."

"The saying that later generations look at the present as the present looks at the past is really true."

"Cough, ahem!"

Xing Tian looked at Zhu Jiuyin, kindly saying, "Zhu Jiuyin, are you thirsty? You've been coughing..."

At this moment, a fair and gentle hand gently rested on Xing Tian's head.

"As expected of a civil official."

"You know everything."

Xing Tian's gentle smile froze.

Large drops of cold sweat slid down.

Nine Heavens is the image of Qian gold, and its nature is rigid and active. The direction of Nine Heavens can be used to deploy troops and form formations.

Respectfully execute the laws of Heaven, lead the thunder soldiers, and sweep away everything wherever divine power reaches.

Kunlun War God.

Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, Limitless Yuan Lord.

Xing Tian looked at Zhu Jiuyin: "Zhu Jiuyin..."

"..............."

Zhu Jiuyin was silent for a moment, then slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he knew he was in the wrong and couldn't fight back. Of course, more importantly, Xing Tian only realized when he was about to parry that his axe was gone, resulting in a good beating. After a series of thunderbolts fell, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady sat down again.

At this time, the runes of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady's Six Ren Divination gathered again.

"Is there a treasure in the northeast direction?"

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady answered with a frosty expression:

"I don't know."

The hexagrams were reorganized, turning into the two words "unsolvable," which appeared in front of Wei Yuan.

While Wei Yuan and Yuanjue were searching for the secret realm, Zhu Jiuyin looked at the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady and said:

"Do you really not know what's in this secret realm?"

The human world.

Wei Yuan and Yuanjue stepped into this secret realm, wary. The flowing light turned before their eyes, a flash of white light, and at this moment, a fierce tiger had already appeared on the horizon. Seeing Wei Yuan's figure, the tiger mount roared lowly, and then quickly followed, disappearing in a daze.

Following closely behind was Tian Nu Jue, still in armor, and Qin Yuan.

And Feng Siyu, who was curious, also stepped into the secret realm one by one.

Finally, a wisp of white air flowed in the sky. The Old Celestial Master, who was worried, handed over the affairs of Longhu Mountain to several other Taoists with no low seniority after being persuaded by Ah Xuan. He followed closely behind, slightly surprised by the scene, and slightly calculated the time of the Longhu Mountain rift seal.

With a slight smile, he swept his horsetail whisk and stepped into it.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady didn't know this scene, and said slowly:

"This is a secret realm that has been passed down since the Age of Gods..."

"It may be because of the Mountain and Sea Rift, or it may be because of the revival of spiritual energy, that it has been reawakened. As for its purpose, this place was originally a blessed land where the gods thought about perfecting divine rule..."

Zhu Jiuyin frowned, "Like Gonggong?"

"No, not like that."

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady replied, "That ancient god believed that all disasters and suffering were due to the experiences and tribulations of humans, stemming from the inability to satisfy desires. He believed that as long as humans' desires were satisfied and a certain amount of pressure was maintained, they could live happily."

"So, the secret realm that he established will satisfy the regrets and desires in the hearts of those who enter."

"No matter what you desire most, this place can satisfy you, and then let you completely sink into it."

"But all of this is an illusion."

"A person's existence is nothing more than flesh and soul."

"Let the human spirit indulge in illusory bubbles."

"Let the human body maintain its survival needs."

"This is the divine rule that is achieved by this means."

"This is a governance that even Gonggong found unbearable—it does not regard humans as beings with souls and thoughts, but rather as precious ornaments worth boasting about. That ancient god has left, but this secret realm, which consumed his endless efforts, has remained, and has been revived in modern times. Zhu Jiuyin, you may have heard of its name."

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady slightly raised her eyes and uttered a word:

"Peach Garden."

……………………

When the pervasive white light dissipated, Wei Yuan looked around at the illusion he was in, and then saw an ancient and mysterious stone tablet in front of him.

It seemed to contain absolute mysteries and truths, precisely the Hetu Luoshu.

"??!"

Wei Yuan's pupils shrank slightly, and he took a step forward. However, the Hetu Luoshu suddenly dissipated, and he reached out to touch emptiness.

The rules of the Age of Gods slowly operated.

Wei Yuan was uncontrollably dazed for a moment. When he opened his eyes, this was no longer the secret realm from before.

But rather Old Street, the museum.

And in the next instant, Wei Yuan's consciousness seemed to become sluggish in this secret realm.

In front of him was a beautiful girl, quietly flipping through books. Pieces of ancient creations were placed on the cabinets. Seeming to have noticed Wei Yuan's movement, the girl raised her eyes and looked at him with a smile: "You're awake, Yuan..."

"That's not right."

The already familiar girl's cheeks seemed to be slightly red, and she said softly:

"Husband."

ps: The second update today…………

Three thousand two hundred words.

I feel that if this continues, I will have to go down and report, get it done as soon as possible, if it really doesn't work, I may have to take a day off in two days to adjust my work and rest, lying down.
