Chapter 55
The Holy Maiden wanted to make her soul complete once more.
First, she needed to know if Lin Jiufeng was still alive
30 years have pa.s.sed since Lin Jiufeng saved her back then.
The young Lin Jiufeng back then should be an old man in his fifties by now.
"His cultivation was destroyed and he was banished to the Cold Palace. Decades have pa.s.sed since then, could he still be alive?" The Holy Maiden was distressed.
"I shall send someone to the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty to investigate. I hope that you are still alive. I can make it up to you. The throne, countless beauties, or even the ability to walk on the path of cultivation once more…"
"I can give them to you." The Holy Maiden picked up a piece of paper.
After folding it a few times, an immortal crane appeared.
"Go to that famous daoist mountain and find two Daoist priests. Ask them to go to the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty to investigate that matter concerning the dethroned Crown Prince 30 years ago." The Holy Maiden waved her hand, and the paper crane flew up.
It flapped its wings and flew away.
The Holy Maiden watched quietly. She suddenly thought of something and frowned slightly. "In today's world, the first native person to break through to the Human G.o.d Realm is in the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty."
"What if those two Daoist priests fail because of that Human G.o.d?"
She picked up another piece of paper and folded it into yet again another paper crane. When she was done, the immortal crane flew to the Buddhist sects in the Jiangnan area.
"Two groups of people should be enough, right?" The Holy Maiden muttered.
But thinking about it carefully…
'What if both groups got into conflict with that Human G.o.d?'
"Let's get a triple insurance policy."
The Holy Maiden folded another crane that flew toward the Northern Desert region.
The Holy Maiden was being cautious here with so many back-ups up her sleeve.
"This should be enough."
"I shall quietly wait for their results. I hope that they will bring me good news."
The Holy Maiden closed her eyes in satisfaction…
And started to repair her Divine Soul.
The world of Daoism consisted of many sects.
But there were only a few publicly recognized top daoists sects.
Each sect occupied a famous mountain or river.
They focused on cultivating the Dao, sitting in meditation, and watching the clouds rise and fall.
They quietly observed the changes in the world.
Among them, Mount Longhu of the daoist sects was considered to be a holy land of Daoism.
The foundation of Mount Longhu ran deep. Following that rain, many Martial Sages appeared continuously in here like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Two of the bamboo shoots quickly grew into towering trees.
Two Human G.o.ds appeared on Mount Longhu, one of the sacred lands of Daoism.
If news of their ascension got out, it would definitely shock the world.
However, these two Human G.o.ds were currently holding a paper crane and listening seriously to what the paper crane was saying.
"It's Miss Hong's voice," a young Daoist priest said excitedly.
"I thought that after we parted ways in the underground abyss, I wouldn't be able to see the fairy-like Miss Hong anymore. I didn't expect that she would actually take the initiative to contact us," the young Daoist priest said excitedly.
The middle-aged Daoist priest by the side also nodded. "The two of us were only able to break through to the Human G.o.d Realm thanks to Miss Hong's pointers. Although she looks like an aloof person, that is only on the surface. The real Miss Hong is very kind."
The two Daoist priests were already old, but ever since they broke through to the Human G.o.d Realm and regained their youth, their mentalities also changed along with
With their age and experiences, not a lot in this world could excite them anymore.
But Miss Hong was an exception.
"Senior Brother Liu Yun, do you still remember that scene when we saw Miss Hong a year ago?" The young Daoist priest recalled.
"Of course, I remember…"
"There was an earthquake that split the earth that day and it revealed the entrance to an underground abyss. Countless demons and monsters were inside of it. Fortunately, that place was near Mount Longhu. We were at the fourth stage of the Martial Sage Realm and we were the ones to suppress that crack." The middle-aged Daoist priest named Liu Yun, lamented.
"I still remember that Senior Brother and I were full of confidence before we went in. But we couldn't last for more than half a day in that place before we were completely defeated."
"Then, at a crucial moment, Miss Hong descended from the sky. She was so beautiful to the point that I still find it hard to describe her beauty. She immediately got rid of the trouble and suppressed that crack on her own."
"She also helped treat our injuries. In addition, she even gave us pointers which helped us tremendously when we made our breakthrough to the Human G.o.d Realm!"
The young Daoist priest brimmed with excitement.
With a trace of longing, he recalled the past.
They were only able to make a breakthrough because of Miss Hong.
"Junior Brother Haiyu, we owe Miss Hong our lives and the favor of guiding us. This time, Miss Hong wants us to go to the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty to investigate the situation of the dethroned Crown Prince 30 years ago. We must go," Liu Yun said.
"Of course we have to go. Even if the first Human G.o.d is in the Imperial Capital, we still have to go there and investigate." Junior Brother Haiyu nodded.
"We aren't going to make any trouble. We are just investigating the situation of that dethroned Crown Prince back then. It should be fine. The Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty probably doesn't want to offend two Human G.o.ds like us anyway," Liu Yun said.
"We have to go now, we can't let Miss Hong wait for our results for too long." Haiyu couldn't wait any longer.
He immediately left the mountain and headed in the direction of the Imperial Capital.
Liu Yun shook his head and laughed. He also got up and went down the mountain.
The buddhist sects of Jiangnan once had a temple every three steps and a monastery every five steps.
But after the two paintings suppressed the two Buddhist sects back then, they were demolished.
The three sacred lands of the Buddhist sects were still around, but the number of believers in the buddhist sects had sharply declined.
They were no longer as glorious as they were back then.
Both Shaolin Temple and Xuankong Temple had become part of the background that depicted the might of that Human G.o.d from the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty into the world.
They were furious, but they knew that they temporarily couldn't do anything about it.
As for the Dalin Temple that was spared from the catastrophe and didn't suffer any losses back then, it remained unscathed as it maintained its low-key appearance.
In the buddhist cave of Dalin Temple, there were many exquisite paintings.
An old monk was sitting upright in front of a painting.
In front of him was a flower. He held it with one hand and a smile appeared on his face.
The smile of Buddha as he was plucking flowers!
The old monk quickly turned young, transforming from an old man into a young man.
"I have no way of repaying your kindness, Miss Hong." The young monk sighed.
Three months ago, under the guidance of Miss Hong, he successfully broke through to the Human G.o.d Realm.
A paper crane was flying in circles around him.
The monk took the paper crane in his hand and put it up to his ear.
He then heard Miss Hong's voice.
After a while, the monk who had listened to it several times raised his head and looked in the direction of the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty.
"I shall go visit the most prosperous place in the world today."
The young and handsome monk smiled.
In the Northern Desert region, the earth was dry and the sun was scorching.
A dark-skinned man held a paper crane in his hand as he carefully placed it up to his ear to listen.
With his height of more than two meters, he held the little paper crane in his hands and listened attentively.
His action looked just like a little woman. It looked out of place and awkward.
But he was very happy…
"Miss Hong actually took the initiative to send me a message! This is a huge matter, I have to do my best for Miss Hong."
"Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty, the Imperial Capital, the dethroned crown prince…"
"No matter what, I'm going."
"The only thing that I need to worry about in the Imperial Capital is that first Human G.o.d. But I'm not going to make any trouble. I'm just going to look for information. This Human G.o.d probably isn't so domineering," Iron Han mumbled.
Then, he took big strides and ran faster than the wind.
Lin Jiufeng—who was deep in the Imperial Capital's Cold Palace—had no idea that four Human G.o.ds were coming to the Imperial Capital to investigate his situation.
He was quietly signing in, cultivating, improving himself, and refining the Immortal Treasury in his body.
"Why am I still unable to make a breakthrough from the Immortal Treasury stage?"
Lin Jiufeng was puzzled.
He couldn't help but ask the white cat.
