n“Yu Lin Immortal Territory is a mystic realm belonging to the outer immortal realm,” Shu Jiang said mysteriously. “It is said that in the ancient times, the divine race left behind a piece of land. The environment on that land was extremely evil and dangerous, but very lucky. Legend has it that all the Immortal Emperors around found the Ten Directions Divine Armament here.”

n“The Ten Directions Divine Armament?” Lonemoon frowned. “What is that?”

n“That’s the universe-creating treasure that the divine race of the ancient times left behind after they created the world,” Shu Jiang explained. “I heard the ten immortal emperors were able to control the entire universe not only because of their high cultivation level, but because they had this divine weapon with them. The divine weapon contains the power of creation!”

n“Then what about the sword searching?” Yi Qing asked.

n“Oh, that happens because while the Ten Directions Divine Armament has been found by the ten Immortal Emperors, it is said the creators left behind a Divine SIx-Formation Sword, which they had used to split the sky open. That sword has remained in that very Immortal Territory to this day, waiting for the person who is fated to find it.”

n“A sky-opening divine weapon?” Shen Ying paused. “You mean it split the sky open?”

nShu Jiang nodded vigorously. “It is said that the Six-Formation Sword is truly powerful – strong enough to split the heavens and the earth. It won’t be impossible to say that it could even slice through the three realms!”

n“Oh, that’s not very difficult though, is it?” You just have to open the gates.

nLonemoon and Yi Qing’s mouths twitched. They suddenly remembered that Shen Ying had single-handedly opened the gates to another realm. Immediately, their interest and curiosity in the divine weapon became negative. Heh heh, could the rotten divine weapons beat the cheat?

nThere was absolutely no need to go to that place.

n“Hahaha, Fellow Immortal Shen, you must be joking.” Shu Jiang thought she was kidding and continued speaking, “This Yu Lin Immortal Territory may be very dangerous, but there are countless mysterious and unique treasures inside. Even the rocks, soil and plants that can be found all around are raw materials that can be used for creating top-quality immortal weapons. Any rock that you pick up from along the pathways can be used to refine fourth- or fifth-stage immortal weapons. They are hard to find in the immortal realm!”

nWeapon refinement!

n“Go! You have to go!” Lonemoon patted Yi Qing on the shoulder and said, “Chef… Yi Qing, I think it’s about time that you start training now that you’ve ascended to become a Stygian Immortal. Since the Immortal Emperor appreciates you this much, you should not let this opportunity pass you by!”

n“I’m not going!” Yi Qing rejected him immediately and continued to pour tea into Shen Ying’s cup. “If I go, I’ll be away for at least three months. It’s far too long.” He must not leave his master’s side. Who knows if some other bastard would come and snatch his master away from him?

nLonemoon longed to beat this retard up. Does he know that Invincible Sect is lacking weapons? Can’t he do what he can to help? This is such a good opportunity.Lonemoon gritted his teeth, turned to Shen Ying and asked, “Can you take care of your disciple?”

n“But it’s really too long… ” It’s three months!

n“I’ll double your food allowance for next month!”

n“Chef, Father Niu is right!” Shen Ying turned to Yi Qing with a serious look on her face. “For the sake of the sect, you cannot give up on such a good opportunity!”

nYi Qing: “…”

n“That’s right!” Lonemoon’s eyes twinkled as he continued, “Or you can ask the Immortal Emperor if you can bring both Shen Ying and I along with you.”

n“I don’t think so!” Shu Jiang answered before Yi Qing even opened his mouth. “Brother Lonemoon, you don’t know this but the Yu Lin Immortal Territory only opens once every one thousand years. In order to enter, you have to cross the Lishui River. This river does not allow anything or anyone to pass, except if that thing or person is carrying one particular item. Fellow Immortal Yi Qing, the Immortal Emperor should have pass this item to you, right?”

nYi Qing paused, then he remembered something. He quickly retrieved a green leaf from inside his robes.”This is what he gave me when I entered the immortal palace. He said it’s a gift to congratulate me on becoming a Stygian Immortal.”

n“This is it,” Shu Jiang confirmed. “This is the Winter Spirit Leaf! Only Young Emperor Xun Shu of the Shang Dong Immortal Abode in Dong Ze has it.”

nShen Ying glanced at the big leaf in his palm. It looked like a big four-leaf clover – it can’t be eaten. What’s so special about it!

n“Not only that; outside of Yu Lin Immortal Territory is thick, strong and ever-present sword Qi. Only sword immortals who have gained a lot of enlightenment on sword intent or immortal emperors will be able to pass through the sword Qi and enter the territory,” Shu Jiang continued. “That’s why His Majesty is looking for sword immortals to look for the sword.”

nSo that’s why! This means that they need an access pass; they can’t enter the territory at will.

n“Brother Shu, what does Young Emperor Xun Shu… like?”

n“Brother Lonemoon, please don’t be rash.” On seeing that Lonemoon was still harbouring hope, Shu Jiang persuaded him, “Only sword immortals can enter the Yu Lin Immortal Territory.”

n“I am one.”

n“What?” He’s a sword immortal? Since when were there so many sword immortals?“Well…” He looked at Shen Ying. It couldn’t be that coincidental, right?

n“Oh, you don’t have to worry about her,” Lonemoon confidently said as he patted Shu Jiang on the shoulder. “The sword Qi is not a problem at all. In fact, we’d be putting her at a disadvantage if we don’t use her to defend ourselves against the sword Qi!”

nShu Jiang: “…”

nYi Qing: “…”

nShen Ying: “…” Son of a b*tch!

n——————

nIn Dong Ze.

nTheir new partner, Shu Jiang, said that Young Emperor Xun Shu is a strange person. Although he has already achieved the status of Young Emperor, he prefers to stay alone in an immortal abode located in the eastern wilderness because he does not like to interact with other people. He enjoys gardening, but he does not plant immortal herbs nor immortal plants. Instead, he just fancies Dao seeds.”

nWhen Lonemoon heard this, he realised that Young Emperor Xun Shu was just another environmentalist. Five days later…

nHe and Shen Ying stood outside Shang Dong Immortal Abode, holding Radish, who looked very angry.

n“Little Big Sister… Are you really going to abandon me?” Radish’s leaves were all shriveled up like preserved vegetables. It looked utterly crestfallen. “Please don’t do that. Radish was born yours and will die yours. Can you bare to let my pure body be contaminated by someone else?”

nShen Ying looked at it, sighed loudly and said, “Yes I can bear to!” You’re just a vegetable!

nRadish: “…” My heart hurts!

n“Who is there outside the abode?” They heard a voice beside their ear and felt a strong immortal force pressing down onto them..

nLonemoon’s heart jumped. He took in a deep breath and finally managed to relief the pressure off his body. He stepped forward and said, “Your junior and Invincible Sect’s sword cultivator Lonemoon is here to pay his respects to Young Emperor Tao.”

n“A sword cultivator?” The man sounded condescending and disdainful. “One more person who is unafraid to die searching for the sword in the Immortal Territory! Come in!”

nImmediately, they saw the words “Shang Dong Immortal Abode” on the stone wall in front of them suddenly split apart to reveal a hole that was big enough for an average-sized man to walk through. They sensed strong immortal Qi coming from within the hole, along with a gust of plant Qi.

nLonemoon was just about to walk inward and dragged a lazy and sleepy Shen Ying beside him along. Both of them entered the abode together. The scene in front of them change to reveal a huge flowerbed filled with different coloured flowers all around them.

nA small tower stood not far away from them. It was not big, but it was built entirely using white strips of bamboo. It looked so clear that it resembled a crystal palace. The immortal Qi surrounding it made the entire tower look as though it were glowing.

nOne could say that it was… quite alluring!

nWhat was more alluring was the man seated on the chair in front of them dressed in attention-grabbing red robes which extended all the way to the ground. He looked like an enormous red flower which sprouted from the ground. His hair spread out across his back and was so long that it swept against his feet. His robes were open in front of his chest, revealing silky smooth flesh underneath it. If he were not flat-chested and it were not clear that he was a man, Lonemoon would have pinned him down as a fascination transvestite.

nXun Shu scanned the people who had just entered. His eyes were full of contempt.

n“Greetings, Young Emperor Xun Shu!” Lonemoon bowed politely.

n“You are the sword cultivator who has come to ask for a Winter Spirit Leaf?” He suddenly broke into a grin and turned around so that a gentle ripple flowed down his red robes. The more they looked at him, the more beautiful they thought he was. It was as if there were no words in the universe that could adequately and satisfactorily describe his looks. Even Radish in human form did not look like much when standing beside him.

nEven Shen Ying, who had been yawning just moments before, stepped forward with her eyes widened!

nLonemoon was shocked. He quickly tugged Shen Ying and hissed, “Hey, don’t be distracted by his good looks. We have important matters to attend to!”

n“No…” Shen Ying blinked, still transfixed. “I just think it’s weird.”

n“What’s weird?”

n“His robes.” They’re so… long.

n“Huh?” It’s not that weird that a man is dressed in red, right? Lonemoon started to say this out loud but was stopped by Shen Ying, who continued.

n“They’re so long… Won’t he step on them?”

n“Huh?”

nJust as she finished speaking, they saw the man stood up. “You think that the Winter Spirit Leaf…” before he could finish, he tripped on his own robes. The figure swayed for awhile and then fell forward, landing heavily on the soil in front of him so that his entire face was now covered in mud.

nLonemoon: “…”

nShen Ying: “…”

nThat’s why you shouldn’t play dress-up at home!
