Chapter 1487 - 1484: Immortal Realm

"Wh-Where exactly is this place?" Ye Qiu asked Fang Wushang curiously, "I can't believe there's such an ethereal paradise within the Kunlun Mountains."

Fang Wushang nodded unconsciously, "This place is truly beautiful. I've never seen anywhere so stunning, and the spiritual qi here is so abundant, several times more than in the outside world."

Fang Wushang took a deep breath of the fresh air in front of her without realizing it, "I really love it here."

Ye Qiu looked at Fang Wushang, sighed helplessly, and said, "Could this be the treasure you were talking about?"

Fang Wushang shook her head, "No, but even if it were a treasure, it's a very good one, don't you think?"

Ye Qiu was indeed amazed when he saw this place, but apart from the abundant spiritual qi and the beautiful environment, he didn't have any other feelings about it.

After all the effort, if all they found was this place, it would have been better not to come at all.

"Let's go inside and take a look. Maybe the treasure is in there; you don't think this place is too simple, do you?" Fang Wushang said to Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu thought for a moment and then nodded, "Since we're here anyway, let's go in and have a look."

Upon hearing Ye Qiu's words, Fang Wushang immediately smiled. She had been worried that Ye Qiu might not want to come.

As Ye Qiu and Fang Wushang walked deeper inside, they felt the spiritual qi becoming more and more abundant, and it seemed to resonate with the spiritual qi within their bodies, continuously circulating inside them.

"This is really a great place for cultivation," Fang Wushang said as she gradually felt the abundant spiritual qi within her.

Ye Qiu also had to nod. He had to admit that the spiritual qi here was extremely abundant and very pure, very different from the polluted spiritual qi outside.

"Ye Qiu, what do you see over there?"

Fang Wushang pointed to a naturally formed pond and said, "Look, that lotus is really strange?"

Ye Qiu followed Fang Wushang's finger and saw a giant lotus blooming on the pond. The lotus was so large that if he tried to hug it, he definitely wouldn't be able to.

"Oh my God." Fang Wushang couldn't help but exclaim, "Is this a lotus spirit?"

It seemed as if it heard Fang Wushang's words, the lotus gently swayed on its own, even though there was no wind.

"Ye Qiu!" Fang Wushang said in surprise, looking at Ye Qiu, "Look, look, it's moving!"

Ye Qiu was not as naive as Fang Wushang. Given the abundant spiritual qi here, these plants might indeed have gained sentience.

"Ye Qiu, let's take this lotus back with us!" Fang Wushang said to Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu looked at Fang Wushang speechlessly, "I mean, Miss Fang, this flower is two meters in diameter. How are we going to take it with us?"

Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Fang Wushang's eyes instantly showed disappointment. She looked at the lotus with some reluctance and said, "But I really think it's very beautiful."

"But even if we take it back, it won't be of any use. It's only beautiful when it blooms here; it belongs here."

Ye Qiu wondered why girls loved flowers so much, but this lotus was indeed too large to take back.

"Yeah, indeed, I belong here, so why do you want to take me away?"

"Who's there?!"

Both Ye Qiu and Fang Wushang said at the same time, looking around.

"Hee hee, it's me, it's me."

Ye Qiu realized that the voice was coming from the lotus and looked at it hesitantly, "Are you the one talking?"

"Yes, yes, hee hee." The lotus swayed gently, each petal trembling as if laughing.

"You... you can actually talk?"

Fang Wushang looked at the lotus in surprise, her eyes full of wonder.

"Of course, I can talk!" The lotus swayed its head and said, "I belong here, don't think of taking me away."

"Ah?" Fang Wushang laughed awkwardly and said, "No, no, we won't take you."

"Do you know what this place is?" Ye Qiu looked at the lotus in confusion and asked.

"Of course I know. You guys coming here is quite an accident. It's been many years since anyone has come here."

"Then can you tell us what this place is?" Ye Qiu asked, looking at the lotus.

"This place doesn't have a specific name. An immortal couple created this world, but they left a long time ago."

"How long ago?"

"They left when I was still a seed."

Ye Qiu looked at the lotus's large size and thought that the immortal couple must have been gone for ages.

Fang Wushang looked at the lotus, "I didn't expect the spiritual qi here to be so abundant that it even turns plants into spirits. It's really amazing."

"Hee hee, there are many other fun things here. You guys can go explore," the lotus said to them. "But be careful of the Meng Lu."

"Meng Lu?" Ye Qiu looked at the lotus strangely and asked, "Who is Meng Lu?"

"Hee hee, you'll find out when you look for it." With that, the lotus stopped talking to Ye Qiu and Fang Wushang, and the flower stopped gently swaying.

Ye Qiu and Fang Wushang exchanged a silent glance and decided to keep moving forward.

Next, they saw many plants and animals they had never seen before.

"Ye Qiu, look, there's a wooden cabin ahead!" Fang Wushang pointed at a wooden cabin not far ahead and said.

Ye Qiu also saw the cabin even before Fang Wushang pointed it out, "Could it be left by the immortal couple? Let's go take a look."

The two of them headed toward the wooden cabin. It wasn't very large but looked exquisite, and just by looking at it, one could tell that it was the residence of some reclusive master.

Ye Qiu cautiously stepped onto the cabin's floor, which creaked but didn't show any signs of breaking.

The furnishings inside were very simple: a few chairs, a bed, two meditation cushions, and some small household items—nothing more.

"Is this really a couple's residence or a monk's?" Fang Wushang asked as she examined the scene before her.

"Weren't you listening? This was created by an immortal couple who had no desires or needs. Why make it luxurious? Besides, who knows how long these things have been here; they can't be compared with modern times."

Ye Qiu looked at Fang Wushang speechlessly; the more he spent time with her, the more he felt that Duanwu was probably a well-protected young lady who didn't understand much.

"What's this then?" Fang Wushang asked as she picked up a wooden box.
