Chapter 1457 First Encounter with the Land of Heavy Water

Lu Chen murmured "Mount Buzhou" softly, his heart filled with doubt. He had only been in the Divine Script Domain for a few months, spending most of his time in the Southern Barbarian Prefecture, and had no idea where "Mount Buzhou" was.

I wonder if the Buzhou Mountain here is the same place as the Buzhou Mountain described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that I once read.

So he decided to go and ask Yun Fengyuan if he knew this place.

Then, Lu Chen put away the map jade slip and left the Sky Time Tower. This seclusion took him more than ten years, while only a few hours had passed in the outside world.

Before long, Lu Chen arrived at another area in the Golden Pearl World. At this time, everyone was sitting cross-legged in their own temporary cave dwellings, cultivating. Most of them were refining the Nine Luminaries Divine Spring.

Lu Chen quickly found Yun Fengyuan, who was not cultivating, and asked in confusion, "Senior Yun, why didn't you take the Nine Luminaries Divine Spring?"

Upon seeing Lu Chen return, Yun Fengyuan bowed respectfully and asked, "Master, what brings you here?"

Lu Chen got straight to the point: "I've broken part of the restrictions on that map jade slip, revealing a place called Buzhou Mountain. Have you ever heard of it?"

Upon hearing the name, Yun Fengyuan paused slightly, a solemn expression appearing on his face. "Mount Buzhou," he repeated softly, then fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he looked up at Lu Chen, his eyes flashing with a deep light: "This name does sound familiar, it reminds me of an ancient legend."

Lu Chen immediately perked up his ears, his eyes filled with anticipation. "Please tell me, senior, what kind of legend is it?"

Yun Fengyuan nodded and began to tell the ancient story. "Legend has it that in ancient times, when heaven and earth were first created and all things were in chaos, there was a giant peak called 'Mount Buzhou' standing between heaven and earth."

It is so high that it cannot be climbed, piercing the clouds, and is considered to be a bridge connecting other divine realms.

However, the appearance of the "List of Saints" triggered a war among the gods, causing Mount Buzhou to collapse, the pillar of heaven to break, heavy water to flood, ten suns to shine in the sky, and all living beings to suffer...

At this point, Yun Fengyuan paused, took a deep breath, seemingly to gather his thoughts. Then he continued:

"However, there is another legend that says the real Buzhou Mountain was not completely destroyed, but transformed into a new divine mountain hidden in a secret realm, and only those who are truly destined can find its location."

Lu Chen listened intently, but his doubts did not diminish. "So, how can we find this sacred mountain? Are there any clues?" he asked impatiently.

Yun Fengyuan smiled, a hint of mystery in his eyes: "That depends on your fate, Master. However, since you have already deciphered the map jade slip, you must have an inextricable connection with Buzhou Mountain. However, getting there is not an easy task; there are many dangers along the way, so you must be careful."

At this point, Yun Fengyuan paused, a deep light flashing in his eyes, and continued, "Actually, Buzhou Mountain is not completely inaccessible. According to some ancient records, there is a 'land of heavy water' around Buzhou Mountain. This is an extremely special environment, with a density far exceeding that of ordinary water. Each drop weighs tens of thousands of kilograms, hence the name 'heavy water'."

Lu Chen listened intently, a strong interest rising within him. "The Land of Heavy Water?" he repeated. "A single drop can weigh ten thousand jin; it truly is a peculiar place."

Yun Fengyuan nodded and patiently explained, "Legend has it that Mount Buzhou is hidden in this 'land of heavy water.' Only those with special physical abilities or who have mastered specific spells can move freely in the heavy water and thus find the exact location of Mount Buzhou."

"Senior, if I find that place, how can I enter the 'Land of Heavy Water'?" Lu Chen asked anxiously.

"Entering the Land of Heavy Water is no easy task," Yun Fengyuan said slowly. "First, you need sufficient strength to resist the immense pressure brought by the heavy water. Second, you also need a special magical artifact—the 'Floating Light Feather Robe.' This artifact can not only reduce your weight but also allow you to move freely in the heavy water."

Hearing this, Lu Chen frowned. Although he had already mastered many skills, he was unsure whether the power of the Great Dao's origin, "I am water," would allow him to easily deal with heavy water.

Just to be on the safe side, Lu Chen decided that he should try to get a shimmering feather robe.

Yun Fengyuan seemed to sense Lu Chen's concerns and immediately comforted him, "Master, as far as I know, there is a place called 'Phantom Canyon' in Zhongtong County, north of Nanman County. It is said that there are clues to the Floating Light Feather Robe there. However, Zhongtong County is also full of dangers, so we need to be careful."

Lu Chen nodded, a determined glint in his eyes. "No matter what, I'm going to give it a try. Senior, do you have any further suggestions?"

After pondering for a moment, Yun Fengyuan said, "Before heading to Zhongtong County, it would be best to improve your strength. It is said that the cultivation level there is far superior to that of Nanman County, and even cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm are not the strongest."

"Understood." Lu Chen stood up and bowed deeply to Yun Fengyuan. "Thank you for your guidance. I will be careful."

After bidding farewell to Yun Fengyuan, Lu Chen left the Golden Pearl World directly. When he reappeared, he was on the same big tree as before.

Then, with a flash, his body transformed into a streak of light, continuing northward at an extremely fast speed.

However, Lu Chen underestimated the five great sects' obsession with hunting down the Youqiong clan.

He had barely traveled north for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn when five figures blocked his path and surrounded him.

These five individuals are all elite disciples of the Holy Sound Pavilion. Although the highest level of their cultivation is only at the Nascent Soul Realm, their combined strength is enough to instill fear in any cultivator of the same level.

Lu Chen stopped and calmly scanned the five people in front of him, quickly calculating a countermeasure in his mind.

The leader of the five was a young man dressed in a black robe, whose eyes were as cold as ice, as if they could freeze the air.

After the soul jade tablets of Daoyin Saint, Elder Zhang, and Elder Wang shattered, it signified that the three had perished. The Pavilion Master, Nieyin Saint, immediately ordered a thorough investigation into the cause of the incident in a fit of rage.

The matter was quickly discovered: the three of them had broken away from their original group because they had discovered Lu Chen's whereabouts.

Therefore, Saint Nirvana, together with disciples from the other four sects, launched a thorough search covering hundreds of miles. They also provided each cultivator with a portrait of Lu Chen.

That's why the young cultivator in black robes was able to recognize Lu Chen's identity at a glance.

With this thought in mind, in the blink of an eye, the black-robed young cultivator, knowing Lu Chen's strength, did not want to be his enemy, but instead coldly threatened:

"Lu Chen, you can't escape. We've already notified the Pavilion Master, and he'll be here with his men soon. I advise you not to put up any futile resistance."
