The Sacrificial Evil Spirit seemed to have sensed it. He turned around and looked outside the window.
I didn't react as strongly as he did. This aura was familiar to me. It should belong to an old friend. However, I couldn't determine his cultivation base.
The Mi family's father and son stopped their actions when they saw our reaction.
Mi Ding Cheng was bewildered, but Mi Tai knew the situation.
He thought that the Metaphysics Association had sent this person to trouble him. That was why he asked Mi Ding Cheng to leave this place.
I waved my hand to tell them not to panic. Perhaps this person wasn't here to deal with Mi Tai.
After listening to me, Mi Tai's face relaxed a little. She stood behind me and looked outside the window.
After a while, a person landed on the square of the Mi family's manor. It was Han Wennan.
It seemed he knew I was here. That was why he had come to find me. I didn't know why.
I flew out with the Sacrificial Evil Spirit and landed in front of him.
He wasn't surprised to see me. This confirmed my guess that he had come to find me.
After exchanging greetings with him for a while, I got straight to the point. "Why did you come to find me?"
Han Wennan was straightforward and directly told me the reason why he was here.
According to him, after the Heavenly Grand Ritual, he had heard about Ye Pianpian's whereabouts from his family.
That was why he had been looking for me. He wanted me to go with him to save Ye Pianpian.
However, he hadn't heard from me for several months. Today, he passed through Hong Kong.
On his way there, he met some severely injured members of the Metaphysics Association. Unexpectedly, he learned my location and came to find me.
What a coincidence. The few people from the Metaphysics Association that I dealt with just now actually recognized me.
It was normal. With my current reputation, there shouldn't be anyone in the Metaphysics Association who hadn't heard of me. It was normal for them to recognize me from my appearance.
However, when Han Wennan mentioned Ye Pianpian, my heart tightened.
If it weren't for Ye Pianpian and Ye Piaolan, I would have died in the Metaphysics Association.
I was filled with gratitude towards her. Previously, when Han Wennan had said that he was going to rescue her, I had kept it in mind. However, I had been busy with mundane affairs recently, and there was no news from Han Wennan, so I had put the matter aside.
Now that Han Wennan had found where Ye Pianpian was, he had to save her.
I agreed without hesitation and asked Han Wennan for Ye Pianpian's whereabouts.
When he heard my question, he moved closer to me and whispered, "Peng Lai Immortal Region."
Peng Lai Immortal Realm?
I inquired about Ye Pianpian and heard that she seemed to be trapped in Penglai.
That's why I wasn't surprised when Han Wennan said the first two words. However, I was surprised when she said 'Celestial Realm'.
Penglai was a county town under the jurisdiction of Yantai City in Shandong. However, the Penglai Wonderland was the residence of an immortal in the legends. The two could not be mentioned in the same breath.
According to legend, the Peng Lai Immortal Realm was one of the three sacred mountains in China's myths and legends.
Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang were places where the immortals lived. Since ancient times, they had been the places where Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had sought immortals and medicines. Everything there was white, and the palaces were made of gold and silver. The trees in the pavilions grew in clusters.
There were also records in the ancient books that there were five mountains to the east of the Bohai Sea: Daiyu, Yuanjiao, Fanghu, Yingzhou, and Penglai.
According to the records, the other two mountains had their guardian turtles hooked by the giants of Longbo Country and sank into the sea. Hundreds of millions of immortals had migrated there.
The legend of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea also happened there. According to the legends, Lu Dongbin, Tie Guaili, Zhang Guolao, Han Zhongli, Cao Guojiu, He Xiangu, Lan Caihe, and Han Xiangzi had gotten drunk at the Penglai Pavilion. They had shown off their precious weapons, walked on the waves, and crossed the sea.
I had thought that it was just a story made up by our predecessors. I didn't expect the Penglai Immortal Region to really exist.
However, on second thought, the Liubo Mountain we had been to last time was also real.
It wasn't surprising that the Penglai Immortal Region was like this.
With that in mind, I asked Han Wennan if he knew the exact location of the Penglai Immortal Region.
He told me that the Penglai Immortal Region wasn't in the sea, nor was it in the water. It was above the clouds.
This was out of my expectations.
The Penglai Immortal Region was above the clouds. I was afraid that its exact location wasn't always the same. It would be difficult to find it.
I told Han Wennan what I was thinking and asked him if he had a way to determine the location of the Penglai Immortal Region.
Han Wennan looked troubled. He shook his head and said, "After I confirmed the news about Ye Pianpian, I hurried to find you. As for the exact location of the Penglai Immortal Region, he didn't know."
I was dumbfounded. Han Wennan had always been a steady person, but he seemed to have lost his composure this time.
Since he didn't know, it seemed that I had to solve the problem myself. I began to plan.
The last time I went to the Liubo Mountain with the evil spirit, I got the news from the Langya Platform.
However, the Liubo Mountain was at the bottom of the sea and hadn't moved for thousands of years.
The Penglai Immortal Region was above the clouds, and it was impossible to find it.
If I went to the location recorded in the ancient books, it would be like trying to fish from a tree. The hope of finding it wasn't great.
I suddenly had another thought. Prediction and divination were what the fatty and his sect were good at. I might as well ask him for help. Perhaps I could find the answer.
I immediately contacted the fatty and told him about my request.
The fatty could hear the anxiety in my voice and quickly agreed.
After I hung up, I received a message from the fatty.
He told me that Immortal Guan predicted that the Penglai Immortal Region would appear above the clouds to the east of the Bohai Sea in ten days.
However, I couldn't calculate its exact location.
Although I couldn't confirm its exact location, I could at least confirm its position. When the time came, Han Wennan and I would search carefully. We should be able to find it.
After confirming it, I heaved a sigh of relief. I called Han Wennan and prepared to leave for the Bohai Sea as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, Han Wennan waved his hand and said, "There's no hurry. He even asked me where the Qilin is."
The Qilin?
I was puzzled by his sudden change of topic. "What's the matter?"
Han Wennan then told me that the reason the Penglai Immortal Region was so secretive wasn't just because of its erratic location. There was another important reason.
There was a restriction on the Penglai Immortal Region that completely isolated it from the outside world.
It was said that the power of the restriction was so strong that it couldn't be broken by anyone below the Xiaju realm. Outsiders could only enter after obtaining permission to open the restriction.
After listening to him, I immediately understood why he had mentioned the Qilin.
Previously, at the Heavenly Grand Ritual, the Qilin had stepped on Lu Zhenyang to break the restriction of the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven.
It seemed that he wanted the Qilin to break the restriction of the Penglai Immortal Region and bring us in.
At the moment, we only knew that Ye Pianpian was trapped in the Penglai Immortal Region, but we didn't know who else was inside.
We couldn't contact Ye Pianpian, so we couldn't ask her to open the restriction. We could only use external force to break it.
Han Wennan had seen the Qilin's methods with his own eyes. It was no wonder that he had come up with this idea.
However, the Qilin was still in the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven. It seemed that before we left, we had to return to Wangwu Mountain.
The last time I left the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven, I had wanted to bring the Qilin with me, but he didn't want to leave.
I was a little worried about whether or not I would be able to bring it out this time.
After telling Han Wennan about the Qilin's situation, he frowned slightly and urged us to leave. He said that we should reach the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven as soon as possible. Then, even if the Qilin didn't want to leave, we would have time to think of a solution.
I nodded and didn't delay any longer. I lifted my feet and prepared to leave.
However, when I turned to look at Mi Tai, I hesitated.
Although I had taught Mi Tai techniques casually, since he had succeeded in cultivating them, he could be considered my disciple.
When Han Wennan came just now, I had planned to teach him some cultivation techniques, but I was delayed by Han Wennan. Now that I was in a hurry to go to the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven, I hesitated. Since I had promised Mi Tai's father that I would bring Mi Tai with me, I might as well bring him along this time. I could let him broaden his horizons and have a deeper understanding of the Metaphysics world.
After hearing my decision, Mi Tai didn't refuse. Instead, he looked excited.
At this moment, Han Wennan noticed Mi Tai. After looking at him for a while, he asked me with interest, "Are you a member of the witch race?"
His cultivation base was much higher than Mi Tai's, so he could see that Mi Tai cultivated witchcraft energy.
However, I shook my head and didn't answer him.
It wasn't that I didn't trust Han Wennan. It was just that the matter of the witch race had many implications. Mi Tai was just my disciple, so it wasn't appropriate for him to be involved in this matter.
Seeing that I didn't answer him, Han Wennan didn't pester me further. He just followed us out of the Mi family's manor.
After leaving Hong Kong, we spent the entire day to reach the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven in Northwest Henan.
Although it was the off-season for tourists, Mount Wangwu had beautiful scenery. Many tourists came here to sightsee.
We didn't have much time, so we didn't have the mood to linger here.
We followed the path that Wang Can had taken to the top of the mountain.
However, when we reached the top, I didn't know where to go next.
The Wangwu Grotto-Heaven had a formation that isolated it from the outside world.
Although I knew a little about formations, the protective formation of the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven was so mysterious that I couldn't find any clues about it.
Wang Can had given me a voice-transmitting talisman, but I had broken it during my research. So, I couldn't contact him at this time.
It happened so suddenly that I wasn't prepared for it.
Han Wennan seemed to notice that something was wrong with my face, so he asked me for the reason.
I told him about the situation. After listening to me, he couldn't help but laugh. "Our Heavenly Abodes have always been in contact with each other. You lost the voice-transmitting talisman, but I have one.
Wait a moment, I'll contact Wang Can. "
Then, he took out the voice-transmitting talisman and sent a message to Wang Can.
After listening to him, I couldn't help but laugh. I had been so focused on my own matters that I forgot that Han Wennan wasn't the same as before. He was now the master of a Heavenly Abode in Xicheng City.
Soon, he received a reply from Wang Can, who had marked a specific location for us.
When we arrived, Ah Fu and a group of servants had been waiting for us for a long time. When they saw me, Ah Fu and the others immediately knelt to greet me. After greeting me, they told me that Wang Can was on his way here and that he would soon arrive to greet me.
The Wangwu Grotto-Heaven had always been very respectful to me. Even if I objected, it wouldn't help.
Although Han Wennan had learned that I had a close relationship with the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven during the Heavenly Grand Ritual, he had never seen the people of the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven greet me as a servant. So, he was shocked to see this scene.
As for Mi Tai, he was dazzled, and he looked at me with admiration.
I didn't explain much. I just waved my hand and asked Ah Fu to take us into the Heavenly Abode.
After we got in, we had only walked a few hundred meters when Officer Wang came to greet us with several servants. When he saw me, Officer Wang looked excited. He didn't care about Han Wennan, an outsider, and got down on his knees. He greeted me, calling me 'Holy Saint'.
