Crossing the waters of the Yellow Springs, one reaches the other shore. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
Jiang Wen looked at the winding river, attempting to fill a jade bottle from his storage bag.
However, as soon as the jade bottle touched the Yellow Springs water, it was instantly corroded.
The original white color of the bottle turned grayish-white, and then it shattered with a 'ping' sound.
The entire jade bottle broke apart, falling from the air to the ground.
Seeing the fragments of the jade bottle on the ground, Jiang Wen knew that he couldn't do anything with the Yellow Springs water for the time being.
He looked at the river formed by the Yellow Springs water with some regret, deciding to leave it there for now.
Looking towards the opposite bank, it was a peach orchard.
Entering it and walking for several hundred steps, one would find a spring.
The spring continuously gushed out water, flowing in small streams in all directions.
It was because of the nourishment from this spring that the area was so vibrant and full of life.
Could it be that he couldn't see the abnormality within?
With this doubt in mind, he followed the ginseng spirit's directions.
Jiang Wen walked to the front of the spring, observing the constantly gushing water.
"It's inside, a big one.
Go to the center and take out the treasure from within," the ginseng spirit instructed, and Jiang Wen listened to it, going to the center of the spring.
Looking at the continuously surging spring water, he reached out his hand towards the fist-sized spring vent.
His hand felt warm, and a force continuously pushed against Jiang Wen's palm.
Only when his entire arm was submerged did he feel himself touch something round and pearl-like.
"What is this?" he wondered slightly.
He firmly grasped the round bead and pulled it out of the spring vent, opening his palm to examine it.
It was a transparent and peculiar round bead, its surface as crystal clear as glass, with water constantly flowing within its center.
With just a slight pinch, the bead would continuously gush out water in all directions.
"Truly marvelous, what kind of treasure is this bead?"
Jiang Wen was very interested in this bead.
He had never seen such a mysterious bead that could constantly produce water.
Although he didn't know what kind of treasure this bead was, he was certain that it was not simple.
After storing it in his storage bag, he saw that the originally active spring gradually subsided.
The water no longer surged, and the surrounding streams were slowly drying up.
Perhaps after some time, the peach trees here would also wither due to the lack of water.
The ginseng spirit seemed to sense Jiang Wen's thoughts, and patted his face, saying, "Don't worry, these trees will all live well.
Yinyin knows that it often rains here."
"Often rains? You mean it often rains," Jiang Wen said with a smile.
"Rain? Those falling waters? So it's called rain.
Yinyin has learned another word," the ginseng spirit said happily.
Seeing its simple appearance, Jiang Wen's heart also felt much more relaxed.
The faint heaviness dissipated, and he felt as if he had卸下 a lot of burdens.
Perhaps during his experiences in the three border states and Buzhou Mountain, he had unknowingly undergone some changes in his state of mind.
After taking the treasure bead from the spring, Jiang Wen led the ginseng spirit along the path paved with bluestone slabs towards the interior.
Along the way, there were many ferocious beasts, but none were a match for a single strike from the wooden whip.
Relying on the toughness of the wooden whip, Jiang Wen rampaged through this cave, defeating the surrounding beasts so thoroughly that none dared to spy on him again, all fleeing at the sight of him.
After finding some spiritual herbs that had grown for thousands of years along the way, Jiang Wen arrived at a stone path leading to a towering archway in the distance on the steps.
This archway resembled a tall tower, engraved with the Yin-Yang symbol.
To the left and right stood statues of cultivators guarding it, each holding a long sword facing the other.

The archway had no doors, only a barrier shimmering with a ghostly blue light.
The barrier was similar to the teleportation gate of the Pure Yang Palace, occasionally flashing a few mysterious characters.
Jiang Wen arrived in front of the archway, examining the tall archway.
He probed the archway with his divine sense and observed it with his Heavenly Eye, but found nothing unusual.
"Yinyin, is there any danger behind this archway?" Jiang Wen asked the ginseng spirit.
The ginseng spirit shook its head, replying childishly: "No, Yinyin hasn't been here either.
But Yinyin doesn't feel any danger, so there probably isn't any danger."
"I see, thank you, Yinyin," Jiang Wen said.
Then, gripping the wooden whip, he stepped towards the archway.
His body felt as if it was immersed in water, and a blurred sound reached his ears.
When he took another step, a dazzling light filled his vision.
He stood in front of the archway and looked at the scenery before him, feeling deeply shocked by such a magnificent sight.
It was a landscape that stirred Jiang Wen's heart even more than the Heavenly Gate, a strange scene that was hard for the world to imagine.
In the misty expanse of clouds, a huge palace with golden tiles and red walls stood above the sea of clouds.
Golden rays of light rolled with red rainbows, and auspicious air sprayed purple mist.
The palace was made of glazed tiles, the golden tiles heavy.
Golden dragons coiled around the pillars.
Light veils surrounded it on all sides, and the palace shone with gold and jade.
And on top of the palace, there seemed to be a great sun setting upon it.
Its light shone brightly, illuminating the entire cloud sea of nothingness.
Looking around, countless floating islands of broken stones hung in the air.
Countless palaces and pavilions stood upon them, all shattered and incomplete.
From the palace at the very top, the entire floating island was broken into five large pieces.
One could imagine the magnificent scene when this palace floating island had not yet been shattered.
"Wow! What beautiful beads.
Yinyin feels very comfortable," Yinyin on his shoulder said happily, and he could feel the emotions it expressed.
Jiang Wen looked at the huge palace in the center for a long time, then lowered his head to look at the floating broken islands not far away.
The glowing object on top of the palace gave him a feeling of the great sun.
Endless pure Yang energy scattered in all directions, blowing away the hidden things in the surrounding clouds and mist.
These floating islands were all suspended in the void filled with white mist, and only where the light shone could the clouds and mist disperse, and could they submit beneath the many floating islands.
Walking along the rubble on the edge of the cliff, Jiang Wen leaped over a huge crack with a few brisk steps.
He stepped onto the nearest floating island, looking at the spring-like scenery on the floating island.
Perhaps because it was illuminated by the light all year round, the plants on this floating island had a fluorescent glow in their green.
Reaching out to touch it, one could see those fluorescent lights flickering.
Although he didn't know what characteristics they had, they were definitely related to that light.
There was also a road paved with bluestone slabs on this broken floating island.
Although the road was also covered with green grass, it was still possible to walk on it.
Looking up, the floating island was tilted.
Everything had to be looked up at, including the distant palaces that stretched like mountains.
Walking along the bluestone slabs to a canyon, he heard the roar of a tiger coming from far and near.
When the sound reached his ears, he saw a scarlet tiger with flames all over its body appear.
"Who dares to trespass into the Immortal Master's cave!" the tiger roared, standing up and taking out two huge mountain-splitting axes from behind.
Its eyes, as big as copper bells, stared at Jiang Wen, emitting a roar.
"You little thief, how dare you peek into the Immortal Master's cave! Prepare to die!"
With that, the tiger suddenly leaped into the air, swinging its two mountain-splitting axes towards Jiang Wen.
