Quenching and sweet, warming to the heart yet hidden. However, when her eyes fell on the uneaten food in their hands, her heart couldn’t help but feel a pinch of sourness. Baili An was quite attentive to her feelings, “Although we can’t eat these delicacies, we can still listen to a story. There’s a tavern up ahead, where it seems a scholar is telling tales. Lin Guiyuan, would you like to listen?” Lin Guiyuan, holding the string of Frozen Pear Pudding so as not to let the wind and snow soil it, paused upon hearing Baili An’s words, then vigorously nodded his head, “Yes!” Baili An took out some pieces of Silver Coin for him, smiling, “Pocket money. If you feel the old man speaks well, you can reward him as you see fit.” Lin Guiyuan, tugging at his stiff corners of the mouth, though unable to smile, seemed very happy at that moment. As evening approached, two mortals and one fish found a quiet seat by the window, welcoming the nightly snow. Wrapped in a large cloak from head to toe, Lin Guiyuan only showed a pair of grayish eyes, making it difficult for others to notice the strangeness of his body. The storyteller was an elderly man full of vitality despite his years. Beside him, a girl about ten years old followed the rhythm of his tale, sometimes striking a clapper, and sometimes drawing down the strings of an erhu. “Old legends claim that beyond the skies, beyond the seas, beyond the mountains, beyond the buildings, lies the fabled place: the Heavenly Sea Mountain Building!” The old man waved his feather fan, his complexion rosy and his gaze one of devout reverence as he continued: “Dear guests, do you know what the Heavenly Sea Mountain Building is? Neither celestial realm, nor Mortal World, transcending the six realms and lightweight dust, it is a small heavenly world beyond. Ah, such a wondrous realm, grandeur beyond words. In the heavens reigns the Emperor, in the Mortal World presides the Immortal Emperor, and in the netherworld rules the Underworld Sovereign, but only the Heavenly Sea Mountain Building stands unbound by them. Mortals and cultivators merely know it as a forbidden land; yet in truth, this legendary place is both far and near to us.” The Heavenly Sea Mountain Building, known yet elusive to cultivators of various forces in the Mortal World, remains more a mythical sanctuary. Hearing the old man’s words, many in the crowd were excited, joining in. “Far and yet near, what do you mean by that, sir?” “How far is it when it’s far, and how near when it’s near? Have you been there, sir?” Of course, during the inquiry, quite a few generous hands tossed Silver Coins onto the platform. Lin Guiyuan, too, was engrossed and joined in the excitement, tossing a few Silver Coins in. At the sound of the girl’s clapper, the old man, stroking his beard, glanced back at Lin Guiyuan. It seemed that this generous guest had startled him for a moment. Soon after, he laughed heartily and proudly continued: “What you may not know, honored guests, is that the Heavenly Sea Mountain Building, this sacred place, is indeed presided over by a Holy Master, and it is none other than Our Empress of Qing, who transformed the city!” An exclamation immediately arose from all around. Inspired by it, the old man, in high spirits, went on: “The Water God of the Great Wilderness, wife to the Emperor, and creator of all life, is the beginning and the long. People only know the Empress as the wife of the Emperor, yet they do not realize she herself established the Heavenly Sea Mountain Building, the grand divine spirit mountain. Under the axe of the Pangu Giant Spirit God during the Primordial Era when heaven and earth first split, purity and turbidity separated. At this time, the two divided, not knowing heaven and earth, turbidity was above, and purity below, the Emperor Zhu Zhan separated between the two realms, yet couldn’t stop the downward fall of turbidity, returning to Primordial destruction. Thus, the Emperor protected the purity with the Water of the Great Wilderness, established a Barrier of Purity, and the Immortal Spirits were born at the beginning of the pure world. The Immortal Spirits grew, needing to endure the eternal Primordial Era, even the boundless Divine Power of Emperor Zhu Zhan and the Emperor could not spend the vast and vague era of turbidity. In the boundless lands where Divine Power cannot reach, turbidity fell, flowing into the Upper Pure Land, forming anew, becoming Chaos once more, yet unexpectedly, Chaos birthed spiritual wisdom, creating mountains inverted, named by Emperor Zhu Zhan as—Kunlun!” The feather fan swayed lightly, his voice clear and invigorating: “Kunlun Pure Ruins, the place of Heavenly Capital, its spirit born naturally as the Heavenly Calculation God, yet it is a female mountain monarch, later named by the Emperor as a true divine entity. With the power of the three gods, overturning heaven and earth, purity turned heaven, turbidity turned earth, heaven decreed Nine Heavens, earth set up Nine Nethers, the Upper Pure Land sealed above Nine Heavens, the lower netherworld, the dirty turbidity sealed in the Nine Nethers, from then on, heaven and earth were clear, Middle Earth became the Mortal World, the Four Seas and Eight Desolates, initially establishing the order of rules, continuing to this day.” The people in the tavern, enchanted, as if touching upon unknown ancient secrets, were particularly staggered and amazed. It turns out this mighty land beneath their feet was indeed transformed by the legendary mountain monarch of Kunlun. Their excitement surged momentarily, and upon further thought, the assessment at the Immortal City, was personally overseen by this legendary figure. Could it be that, in three months, they might actually meet the ruler of Kunlun Pure Ruins? Just the thought made it clear, the assessment in three months’ time may not just be about testing for successors. It symbolized the supreme opportunity on the Immortal Path, for if they could gain favor from the Empress during the assessment, it would truly be a meteoric rise, a future dazzlingly bright! The atmosphere in the tavern skyrocketed due to the old man’s enthusiasm, with copper coins and Silver Coin shadowing towards the platform. “Another segment!” “Old Sir, another segment!” Fueled by the clients’ enthusiasm, the girl played the clapper rapidly, her little face all flushed, seemingly very inspired, even pinching her fingers red without noticing. Compared to the frenzy of those people, Baili An withdrew his gaze from the girl playing the clapper, appearing quite calm and detached, “No wonder Fang Geyu mentioned, once entering Xianling City, one could clearly learn of that lady’s origins. Turns out she is such a formidable figure.” Lin Yuan smiled, “Years ago I heard of the Empress’s fame from Geyu. The description by that old gentleman actually may not be entirely accurate. The Empress, the Immortal of the realm beyond, since assisting the Emperor and Emperor in rectifying the heavens and earth, has always resided in the Heavenly Sea Mountain Building and does not interfere in matters of both Immortal and Mortal Paths. However, her birth was indeed somewhat favored by the Emperor, who later promised her to the Emperor as a matchmaker for mountain and water, officially it was to repay the kindness, but Fang Geyu said that it was not necessarily the case.” Baili An wasn’t particularly interested in matters of the Immortals and didn’t inquire further, merely responding casually, “If it was only to repay a kindness, to promise her to the Emperor, then this lady is indeed much like a mortal woman.” No sooner had he spoken these words than Lin Yuan’s expression changed abruptly, hurrying over to cover Baili’s mouth, “Are you trying to get us killed? We are in Xianling City; speaking the Empress’s name is indeed invoking her will! You actually dared to compare her to a mortal woman, that’s a blasphemous crime!” Under the Snow Pool Wutong tree, Frost Shadow filled the steps. A woman in green held a golden cup, gazing at the moon. Suddenly, her jade-like ears twitched, she touched her lips with a smile, and her gaze, deep as a cold pool, murmured: “Much like a mortal? How daring indeed.”
