The Hundred Thousand Mountains, peak after peak, stretch endlessly. This is a mysterious and ancient land, hiding countless wonders and unknowns. Deep within these mountains lies a blessed land, modest in size, yet boasting three thousand miles of mountains, waters, and fertile soil. Surrounded by a dense forest and rippling emerald lakes, this blessed land resembles a paradise on earth.
In a pavilion by the lake, two Taoists, one old and one young, were playing Go. The elder, with white hair, a face as handsome as a jade, and skin as fair and tender as a baby's, had the air of an immortal. He wore a green robe, held a piece in his hand, and smiled as he gazed at the board. The younger, a refined gentleman, had thick eyebrows, large eyes, and thick lips, but his eyes were marked by the vicissitudes of life. He wore a white robe, held a piece in his hand, and pondered his next move.
"Lord Xuanyuan, my great calamity will come in three years. I have made a lot of preparations, but I always have a bad feeling, so... I still hope to obtain the position of Black Mountain God and the divine seal. Haven't the group of demons under your command found any clues to the divine seal yet?" The old man coughed lightly and said slowly.
"No, after the Black Mountain Divine Seal appeared once in Tongqu County in the Yangshi world, although it would occasionally leave a trace of its presence in other places, by the time my men found the place, there was no news of it. That useless guy Cimu let the fat meat fly away when it was right in front of his mouth!" The young Taoist had a respectable appearance, but his voice was sinister, which made people feel cold all over.
He kept gesturing in the air with his fingers, his eyes flashing with anger. As a climber, he had never felt so frustrated as he did now. The glaring incompetence made him angry.
"My Lord, can the Black Mountain Divine Seal really resist the heavenly calamity as you said?" The old Taoist with white hair looked at the young Taoist and asked hesitantly.
The young Taoist stopped what he was doing, his eyes shone with a hidden meaning. "Of course. Black Mountain, as the place where the Thunder God of the ancient Divine Court fell, is very likely hiding the secret of controlling and resisting the thunder and fire tribulations. This deity may seem insignificant on the surface, but its significance can be imagined!"
The old Taoist with white hair gritted his teeth and said, "Tomorrow I will ask Blind White to calculate the whereabouts of the Black Mountain Divine Seal. Can the Divine Lord send his demons to retrieve it?"
The young Taoist smiled when he heard this. Bai Xiazi's Plum Blossom Divination was very powerful, but Bai Xiazi was not a weird person who would help others easily. He would definitely not get the answer he wanted without paying a painful price.
"Just look for Bai Xiazi, I'll take care of the rest."
The old Taoist with white hair nodded. He knew that the young Taoist was a very capable person, and since he had been asked to do so, he would definitely handle the matter.
"If you kids can't get the Black God's Seal this time, I'll give you a magic weapon that can help you overcome your tribulation as an apology!" The young Taoist confidently placed the black piece in the center of the chess piece and said confidently.
The old Taoist with white hair was delighted. With the young Taoist's words, even if he couldn't get the Black Mountain Divine Seal this time, he could at least get a magic weapon to overcome the tribulation. This was a huge temptation for him.
…
After reviewing his sword skills in a sword fight with Shi Yi, Su Rui and Shi Yi packed their bags and headed for the South China Sea.
Just as Su Rui took out the Purple Swan and Blue Luan swords, Shi Yi shook out a ball of azure, shuttle-shaped light from his cloth bag. This light floated in the air, quite eye-catching. Su Rui looked closely and found that the light was wrapped around a huge shuttle-shaped object, which looked like a giant loach.
Seeing Su Rui's bewildered expression, Shi Yi chuckled and introduced the flying magic weapon to him: "This is a flying magic weapon I stole from someone in my previous life. It's called the Spirit Fish Flying Shuttle. It's not very fast, at most it can only travel 1,600 miles per hour, but the advantage is that it can travel in water, on the water, and in the air. It's very convenient!"
Su Rui had a similar suspicion to begin with, and after hearing Shi Yi's introduction, he couldn't calm down any more. He secretly envied, "This must be the private jet of this world, right? It's amphibious, too. I wonder where I can rob it. I'll go get one too!"
It's not that I haven't seen mobile space magic tools. For example, Taoist Qiao San's carriage is a space magic tool. It's just that it needs external force to drag it, and its movement speed is too slow. It looks more like a spaceship than a private plane.
Seeing Su Rui's surprised look, Shi Yi smiled even more. He immediately made a handprint towards the Spirit Fish Shuttle, and a portal for entry and exit appeared on the belly of the Spirit Fish Shuttle.
"Let's go in!"
Shi Yi greeted him softly, and Su Rui followed him eagerly. The two of them disappeared into the shuttle together, as if entering a whole new world.
The shuttle's interior was spacious, like a public bus capable of seating eighty people. Shi Yi had arranged it into a small, elegant mobile cave. If it were equipped with an automatic system, the shuttle could reach its destination simply by sitting or sleeping—a truly enviable feat.
Su Rui was captivated by the furnishings inside the shuttle and looked around curiously. He saw that the left and right outer walls of the shuttle, as well as the flying fish's eyes, were inlaid with emerald crystal windows made of an unknown material. Sitting inside and looking out, there was no obstruction at all, and the beautiful scenery outside was in full view.
Although Su Rui wasn't a mechanical enthusiast, he was deeply intrigued by this magical instrument, which resembled creations from his previous life but surpassed the technological capabilities of that past. Furthermore, he had already planned to major in fire-attributed Taoism, and refining had already been included in his side hustle. Seeing the Spirit Fish Shuttle instantly opened Su Rui's mind. He decided that while he would pursue his mechanical engineering career, he would also research the business of transport instruments.
This Spirit Fish Shuttle had already been sacrificed and refined by Shi Yi. Therefore, after the two of them sat down, Shi Yi only needed to use his true energy to push it slightly, and the Spirit Fish Shuttle was like a resurrected flying fish, soaring into the sky, diving into the sea of clouds, and then flying towards the South China Sea.
With Shi Yi as his driver, Su Rui suddenly had some free time. He was quite happy with his free time and sat cross-legged on the cloud bed to meditate and practice.
He first practiced the "Qingcheng Shangqing Heart Method Secret Scroll" for a while, and found that the true energy stored in the acupoints throughout his body had reached its limit. After continuing to practice seemed to make no progress, he stopped practicing.
Afterwards, he took out the Purple Swan and Blue Luan swords and warmed them for a while, then took out the Black Mountain Divine Seal and fed Lei Lin a full meal of Thunder Yuan. Then he took out the heavy armored vine armor mechanical man and studied it carefully.
As time went by, the Spirit Fish Shuttle gradually approached the South China Sea. Su Rui stood up from his cloud bed and looked out the window. He saw a boundless ocean, the water a deep blue, the waves surging, and from time to time, fish leaped out of the water, splashing water.
Shi Yi saw Su Rui's expression and knew that this was his first time in the South China Sea, so he said, "The South China Sea is a very beautiful place. The marine resources here are very rich, and there are many mysterious places waiting for us to explore."
