The fairy mountain is floating in the air, and it looks at least a thousand meters high. How do we get up there?
We are not some ancient cultivators who can fly, but in the current situation, is there any other way but to fly?
We were so anxious that we were scratching our heads in frustration. The place where we could become immortals was right in front of us, but we could only look at it and not touch it. Wasn't this just playing a trick on us?
“There should be a way,” Xiang Fei said. “The road to the immortal mountain should be on this map.”
We naturally understand what he means, but we have already studied this map thoroughly. The map inside shows the terrain of the entire Immortal Ascension Land. As for the ancient Taoist methods, although we haven't fully understood them, we haven't found any mention of a way to enter the Immortal Mountain.
We tried everything we could, but still couldn't find a way to climb the 'immortal mountain'.
"No, no, there must be a way to get up here. It's on this map. We must have missed something," Xiang Fei said thoughtfully.
“Yes, yes, we must have missed something,” the old blind man agreed.
Then we studied the map again. After a while, Uncle Liu from Hunan said, "The immortals that the ancient sages spoke of ascending to heaven were those who broke through the air. Should we also try to break through the air? Perhaps the road to the immortal mountain is right in front of us?"
"Hey, what you said reminds me. Doesn't this map mention breaking through the void? Could the path be in this void?"
This is not impossible. We simply cannot understand the things of the ancient mythological era. Now we feel that the path is in this void, but how do we find it?
“The image of the Eight Trigrams arises from the Great Void, the Yin and Yang energies give rise to the Two Forms, and the Great Void and the Two Forms transform into Heaven and Earth. Truth and falsehood both have their original meanings. In my opinion, what we are seeing now is nothing but an illusion, a means to deceive the world. The path is right in front of us, so just boldly walk on it,” Xiang Fei said.
Suddenly we understood that the ancient cultivators, in their pursuit of immortality, had long since abandoned worldly affairs and distanced themselves from the mortal realm, devoting themselves entirely to the Dao.
The road was right in front of us. We used the ancient Taoist methods on the map to understand everything we saw. Sure enough, the 'immortal mountain' in front of us had disappeared, and a tall mountain had appeared.
Magnificent and weathered, exuding an ancient aura, this is a mountain from the ancient mythological era, possessing both spiritual beauty and divine grace. One can imagine that in that distant time, this mountain stood amidst the clouds and mist, and fairies descended from it to the mortal world.

But now everything is gone. The ancient mountains stand here alone, weathered by time. Pavilions and towers can still be vaguely seen on them. Are there still immortals inside? There is a stone path that leads up the mountain to the top. We calmed ourselves down and walked up.
On the path to immortality, witnessing the vicissitudes of the mortal world, one experiences a unique feeling, as if having gone through a great deal, looking back, the past has vanished like smoke, leaving only a sense of vicissitude.
We all had this feeling, and even Luo Wanjun and the others showed expressions of surprise. Walking on this stone path, it felt as if they were truly about to escape this mortal world and ascend to immortality.
There are still many towering trees on the mountain, but many more have died, their decaying branches scattered all over the ground. We all have a feeling that this once-paradise has been worn away by time.
It took us more than an hour to reach the halfway point of the mountain. As we walked, we began to see some pavilions and towers, and streams flowed down, but it was very quiet and lifeless.
At this moment, we all have a feeling that the place where countless people have sought to become immortals throughout history has now become a dead land. Everything that once existed no longer exists. Perhaps it is true that "the road to immortality ends in nothingness"!
The path to immortality leads to nothing; this outcome will likely surprise everyone.
The pavilions and towers in front of us are mostly built on cliffs, some even suspended in mid-air, which is amazing and incredible. This is not something that ordinary mortals could do. Perhaps it is really the trace left by immortals with boundless magic power.
A pavilion appeared ahead, its square shape exuding an ancient charm, adorned with ancient patterns and characters. Inside the pavilion was a wooden bench upon which rested a guqin (a seven-stringed zither), and for a moment, it seemed as if a stunningly beautiful woman was playing it.
The ethereal music reached the heart, but when one came to their senses, nothing remained. "The zither is still there, but the person who played it is no longer here. Did she leave, or did she simply grow old and return to the earth?"
After pausing for a moment, we continued our ascent and finally reached the summit. Looking out, we saw a vast, flat plain, as if it had been leveled by human hands, forming its own territory.
The pavilions and towers stand tall, and the grass and trees are everywhere, truly like a fairyland. However, it is too quiet and lifeless. The doors of the houses are all closed, and the houses are deserted. Where have the 'fairies' who used to live here gone?
Upon arriving here, Luo Wanjun and the others couldn't wait any longer. "Masters, let's hurry and find the method to become an immortal. It must be here."
At this moment, we were also moved. This place must be an ancient site left over from the ancient mythological era. Although we cannot be sure that it was once inhabited by immortals, it must have been a sacred place for ancient cultivators.
At this moment, Xiang Fei said, "Don't act rashly. This place is definitely laid out with the art of Qimen Dunjia. These buildings are all laid out according to the Yin-Yang and Bagua. If you take a wrong step, you may fall into a dangerous situation."
"Then what should we do?" Luo Wanjun asked impatiently.
"Don't rush, let us take a look first."
Clearly, entering this 'fairyland' requires following the map's instructions. The key lies in this map. Now we understand that the pattern on the map actually indicates the location of the fairyland. Only by following this pattern can we avoid danger. It's all explained very clearly inside.
