The Northwest region has been a central land since ancient times.
From a young age, Jiang Wen was well-versed in historical texts and knew that various major events had occurred here.
Kings, lords, and generals had gathered in this place, establishing capitals for six dynasties.
Even now, having cultivated supreme Dharma, his heart still held respect for this land, steeped in blood, tears, and the weight of history.
For no other reason than the heart itself.
He and Shen Yueshu stood in the sky, surrounded by a formation for protection.
Ordinary people could not see them, and even satellites in high orbit had difficulty observing them. This was why he dared to ride his sword through the air, overlooking the Northwest land.
As for Shen Yueshu, she no longer had her previous excitement and enthusiasm.
Flying around everywhere for most of the day had exhausted her energy, and now she was simply sitting on the flying sword, quietly watching the scenery below.
On the vast Northwest land, greenery and yellow earth intertwined. Rivers resembled long dragons, surging across every inch of the land.
Skyscrapers mingled with cities. Highways and trains were like slender blood vessels, connecting all directions. Countless cars and people traveled back and forth, carrying their dreams and wishes to various places.
"Daoist Master, have you chosen a location yet?" Shen Yueshu asked.
"Let's look a bit more," Jiang Wen said, looking at the mountains of the Northwest land, closing his eyes to observe with his divine sense.
Compared to the Southern lands, the mountains of the Northwest appeared even more majestic and vast, filled with a kind of grandeur and atmosphere.
Dragons are magnificent creatures, naturally requiring imposing mountains to showcase them.
As the saying goes: 'Hills nurture flood dragons, mountains and forests harbor snakes. The Five Sacred Mountains stand tall, where true dragons roam.'
True dragons can only be nurtured in this kind of grand and imposing environment.
"Close, but not quite," Jiang Wen sighed. He looked at the mountains outside the ancient capital, but they still fell short of the dragon vein he envisioned.
"Ah! So, does that mean we still have to fly around everywhere...?" Shen Yueshu smiled listlessly, her face somewhat bitter. She felt like she had flown enough and wanted to rest on the ground.
The sun in the sky was strong, and although Jiang Wen had a formation to protect her, it was still very harsh.
Shen Yueshu felt uncomfortable from the sun, and fine beads of sweat covered her body. However, she felt that she couldn't just leave, or Jiang Wen would definitely not bring her along next time.
"If you're too tired, should I send you back?" Jiang Wen saw that she was somewhat absent-minded and thought that this girl might be tired, so he asked.
"No! No! I'm fine!" Shen Yueshu quickly waved her hand and replied. "I think I can last for a long time."
"Don't push yourself too hard," Jiang Wen said with a smile. "The sun isn't simple; you must be uncomfortable being exposed to it all the time. Why not circulate your Qi throughout your body? That will make you feel more comfortable. Moreover, the sun's light can also be considered the purest Yang energy. It's not a bad thing for you to merge with it. Why not treat this experience as cultivation? Maybe you'll gain something."
"I understand," Shen Yueshu nodded seriously and began to try circulating her true Qi while sitting on the sword.
At first, it was still somewhat obscure and difficult, but as time passed, this feeling slowly faded.
Just as Jiang Wen had said, using her Qi to contend with the sunlight did indeed increase her true Qi. It was much faster than her usual cultivation speed, and its essence was also several times higher.
Feeling the change, Shen Yueshu was greatly encouraged. Immediately, she no longer felt tired and began to cultivate seriously.
Seeing this, Jiang Wen didn't say much. He had this kind of idea when he brought Shen Yueshu into the sky.
Otherwise, when Bai Jing returned, he would have asked Bai Jing to take her away as well.
Now, this little girl was still lingering in the Houtian realm, not even touching the threshold of the Xiantian realm. If she continued to be so carefree every day, she might not be able to reach Xiantian even at the age of seventy or eighty.
It wouldn't hurt to bask in the sun every day, as it would also be beneficial for her cultivation.
After all, not everyone can continuously bask in the sun at such a high altitude. The pure Yang power emitted by the sun is of great benefit to cultivation.
Finding a good location, Jiang Wen took out a jade bottle from his chest. Arriving at the snow-capped summit of a mountain, he gently poured out a drop of spirit vein spring water from the bottle.
The spring water emitted golden light, falling from the high sky. Like a colorful jasper pearl, it plunged straight into the mountain.
Suddenly, the mountain range was filled with fragrance, and countless green grasses grew.
The originally barren mountain was filled with vitality at this moment.
Jiang Wen then swept his divine sense around, and seeing that there were still some tourists and backpackers in the mountain, he immediately waved his sleeve. A gust of clear wind swept through, and those scattered people were sent down the mountain.
Having done these things, he no longer waited.
The Four Symbols Sword Formation surrounded him, and a yellow talisman flew out from his chest, floating in front of him, emitting brilliant golden light.
Jiang Wen pointed at the yellow talisman and chanted: "The Eastern Sacred Mountain is called Mount Tai, the Southern Sacred Mountain is called Mount Heng, the Central Sacred Mountain is called Mount Song, the Western Sacred Mountain is called Mount Hua, the Northern Sacred Mountain is called Mount Heng."
"You have the form of the Eastern Mountain, bringing peace and longevity to people, preserving the body for a long time. Entering the mountains and traversing rivers, hundreds of herbs will gather."
"You have the form of the Southern Mountain, preventing the five plagues and eliminating firelight. Those who plot evil against me will suffer the consequences themselves."
"You have the form of the Central Mountain, bringing profit in all directions, accumulating vast wealth. All wishes will be fulfilled without physical labor."
"You have the form of the Western Mountain, eliminating weapons of war, preventing injury from blades. Mountain spirits and gods respectfully welcome you."
"You have the form of the Northern Mountain, preventing disasters in water, subduing hundreds of poisons, employing dragons, and enjoying blessings and prosperity for a long time."
"The mountains and rivers of all directions possess the forms of the Five Sacred Mountains, stretching across the sky and land, pervading all directions, delighting all who see me, and uniting gods and men."
"Heaven and earth converge, and all dharmas return to their origin. The true dragon enters its hiding place, bringing both blessings and prosperity. The Five Sacred Mountains gather, and all demons are subdued!"
"Rise!"
After the incantation, the yellow talisman flew into the mountain like a shooting star. In an instant, golden light shone brightly across the heavens and earth, visible for hundreds of miles.
The entire horizon seemed to have fire clouds rising at dusk, leaving a mark on half the sky.
Then, the earth shook, as if a dragon was turning over.
The tourists who had been pushed out by Jiang Wen were still somewhat astonished, standing on the flat ground with dazed expressions, carefully looking at their bodies.
Seeing several strangers beside them, they began to discuss among themselves.
"What's going on?! Where is this?!"
"Wasn't I climbing the mountain? How did I suddenly end up here? And where is here?!"
Everyone spoke in surprise, then hurriedly took out their phones to make sure they were still in the original world.
Seeing that their phones still had a signal, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, they hadn't transmigrated.
After figuring out their situation, everyone began to talk about where they had come from.
The younger ones said they had come to travel and had climbed the mountain on a whim. Who knew that halfway up the mountain, a gust of wind had dazed their eyes? Then, when they opened their eyes, they had arrived at the foot of the mountain.
The others said they simply wanted to go up the mountain to take a look. They were almost at the top when they were dazed by a gust of wind, and when they opened their eyes, they were here.
Just as everyone was clicking their tongues in amazement, they suddenly saw golden light shining brightly on the originally dark mountain. It seemed like something had landed in the mountain, and then the heavens and earth shook, and the ground trembled.
"Holy crap! An earthquake!"
