therefore, with all one's might

ltivation and no fortune! Then I would have long returned to the underworld sixty years ago! Hmph... Still alive now" The evil cultivator's face twitched, looking extremely repulsive."Alive" Jiang Qi...The son of heaven returns, quietly to the southern mountains.

This was a name that Jiang Qiyun had chosen for me. So he'd dug this hole for me long ago, waiting for me to jump in!

I looked at Jiang Qiyun. His eyes held a clear challenge: even if you knew, what could you do about it

Qingluan was a little excited: "My Lady, this place is truly wonderful. Such a place is rare in the human world. Moreover, there's the Great Shaman King's magic here, making it almost impossible for ordinary people to set foot. With beautiful mountains and water, winding paths leading to secluded beauty, we just need to make some adjustments to blend it with the Pure Bliss Heaven..."

"What does 'integration' mean" I don't quite understand these fairy school methods.

In the common understanding, my family's land is mine, who would share it with another family A fistfight would be inevitable without a struggle!

Jiang Qiyun immediately gave a simple and easy-to-understand answer: "It's just two circles, the overlapping part in the middle... This building is built in that part. When you enter here, it's as if you've entered the Pure Land of Bliss."

"Oh..." The Immortal's paradise seemed boundless and endless. Pure Bliss Heaven should be quite large, I wonder if I'll be able to see familiar sights

It turned out I was overthinking things. Jiang Qiyun had thought things through more carefully than me.

Under Qingluan's lead, I saw a solitary mountain surrounded by peaks.

This mountain is truly a marvel of nature, with sheer cliffs on all four sides and a stream winding around its base.

Qinglan built a "covered bridge" here. You can walk across it from the stone corridor, as if passing through the clouds.

This part of Nanshan Mountain has some flat and open areas. At this time, there are already mountain gates, pavilions, towers, main halls, and side halls.

"The Emperor said this place would be used as a private garden, so we didn't need to build it on a large scale. That saved us a lot of work, but it can't be too shabby either, right" Qingluan laughed.

"...it's already quite large." Compared to my three-story house, this place is like a massive resort.

And this place is truly a marvel—it was built by little demons and deities from the underworld, so it went up incredibly fast.

Jiang Qiyun reached out and pulled me, saying, "Come on, the first time walking through this stone corridor might be a little scary, you'll get used to it."

Qingluan said with a smile, "Then let the Emperor take you for a stroll. I'll quickly clean up the main hall for the two of you to rest."

She transformed into a bird and flew away. I was left speechless, gazing at the breathtaking building before me.

A dwelling place of immortals, always shrouded in auspicious clouds, with magnificent palaces that appear solemn and awe-inspiring.

"Qi Yun... why are you building a separate garden here"

He said softly, "There are many years left for you in this world. Are you willing to be separated from your father and brothers They can come here too."

"This is where the two realms overlap. The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss' teachings are in the third layer of the main hall. Only you, me, and the child can enter and exit; no one else can see it."

"This way, you won't sever the ties of blood and kinship in the world, and you can still devote yourself to cultivation... Don't underestimate the influence of your environment on a person."

The influence of the environment...

In the pursuit of fame and fortune, it is natural to be burdened by them.

In a tranquil and simple place, one can naturally attain tranquility and simplicity, distancing oneself from the worldly noise.

"Of course I know, buying a house has to consider the environment..." I mumbled.

He raised an eyebrow: “Speaking of buying a house… Don't all mortals get married and buy a house I have no interest in that. If you want any kind of house, I can have them build it for you. There are plenty of peaceful and blissful paradises; as many as you desire... However, this house wouldn't be tradable, without the value that mortals desperately chase.”

Value.

How can these even be compared

How can you be compared to ordinary people

"Thank you for thinking so much about me... No wonder my brother said I don't need to think about anything, you've already thought it all through."

"It should have been me thinking about this all along. If I had figured it out sooner, I wouldn't have made you afraid of me." He scoffed.

It seems I'm not the only one who's still feeling uneasy about what happened before. He's also quite awkward about it.

Such a massive project, such a paradise hidden in plain sight, Jiang Qiyun just occupies it so effortlessly

I have some doubts.

How could someone like Mu Wanchen, who is so traditional and values his territory and people, possibly offer up both hands without a word

"To be honest, what kind of secret agreement did you make with Mu Wanchen" I stared at Jiang Qiyun and asked.

He chuckled softly and said, "There's nothing secret about the agreement... it's simply—"

What is it I stared at him, waiting for him to continue.

"Hmm... I promised Mu Wanchen something."

"What's wrong Tell me quickly!"

"Heaven's secrets are not to be divulged." Jiang Qiyun, with an air of calmness, pulled me forward.

We walked through the clouds on the stone corridor, arriving before the mountain gate.

"There's definitely something shady going on between you two!" I puffed out my cheeks. Jiang Qiyun remained silent, so I was going to ask Mu Wanchen!

"No, I promised him that I wouldn't tell. If I did, the future might change. Everything happens for a reason, you know Haven't you heard"

"So he would give up such a precious cave heaven for something that might or might not even happen You've practically ripped out his heart!"

"Hmm I already promised to take him as a disciple. This place will eventually be his anyway. Giving him a house for free is nothing." Jiang Qiyun said nonchalantly.

God! What!

"You took him as a disciple! A disciple!"

Jiang Qiyun nodded seriously and said, “Although the Great Witch King is a mortal who is close to a god, he is ultimately still human. His lifespan doesn't even reach that of a lesser god. If he doesn't cultivate, he may not be able to become the Gu King... Moreover, he also vaguely encountered the future.”

"What, what future..."

Jiang Qiyun still shook his head.

Okay, okay, I get it.

You can't say that, right

We walked into the main hall, which was actually more like a large Buddhist temple and could be considered a reception room. There were two side halls outside the main hall, and behind the main hall was where we lived.

Two warming pavilions on either side of a suspended arch bridge.

"Which one do you like" Jiang Qiyun looked at the options and asked me.

Anyway, you're all the same, so I just pointed to a Western restaurant.

He squinted and smiled: "West Good."

"What is it"

When the sun is not out, you can sleep until the afternoon.

"...."

This implication is a bit scary... Although I've had experiences like this before where things got so intense I couldn't move, facing it again still feels creepy.

"The Supreme Daoist Ancestor said that unrestrained indulgence is impermissible, for unrestrained indulgence is licentiousness!"

“Excessive indulgence harms both the body and mind. Have you and I suffered from this”

"Once a night! At most...twice!" I held up two fingers to bargain with him.

Jiang Qiyun let out a cold snort, clearly not taking me seriously. Anyway, in the bedchamber, he was the one who called the shots.

Qing Lan's response was amazing; when I told her I was staying at Xiwang Pavilion, she immediately took care of everything.

Entering the bedroom, you could see a large wooden tub steaming behind a folding screen...

Well, one, a large wooden tub filled with petals.
