Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2895

Chapter 1408: Where is the problem?

“I’ve been to Wushan before when I was gathering herbs; it’s indeed a wonderful place.” Shennong then frowned slightly. “Unfortunately, it’s too far from Huoyun Cave, and I can’t leave my people for long. There are many things in the tribe that I need to handle…”

“It’s alright, I’ll take Yaoji there. I will protect her.” Zu’an looked at the tender Yao grass, his face filled with endless tenderness.

Shennong’s expression changed. His daughter was more vulnerable than ever before. Entrusting her, so defenseless, to a man he had only known for a day or two, and who didn’t even know his background, was too risky.

Xihe saw through his thoughts and said directly, “Whether it’s the elixir of immortality or finding Yaoji’s soul in Youdu, the difficulty of either one is enough to buy all the women in the world. His feelings for Yaoji are evident. What are you worried about?”

“Xihe, don’t say that.” Zu’an knew she meant well, but these words were still a bit much.

“What the goddess said may be harsh, but it is indeed the truth. I was too old-fashioned,” Shennong chuckled. “You have done so much for Yaoji, which is enough to prove that you truly love her. I am relieved to have you take care of her.”

He then took out an array plate and handed it to her: “This mountain-protecting array can cover the entire Wushan Mountain, improve its environment, make the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in Wushan more abundant, and make it more suitable for the growth of plants. At the same time, it can also protect Wushan Mountain from invasion by outsiders. It is also a small token of a father’s affection for his daughter.”

Zu’an solemnly accepted it. After discussing some details, he did not waste any more time and carefully carried the Yao grass in a rainbow towards Wushan Mountain.

After arriving at Wushan Mountain, even Xihe couldn’t help but sigh: “It is indeed a good place for cultivation.”

She even deliberately stored the True Fire of the Sun in her body to avoid damaging the environment.

Zu’an took out Shennong’s array plate. With his current mastery of array formations, he could see that the array was indeed top-notch. After making some minor modifications, he threw it into the sky.

Soon, a pale blue, transparent light enveloped Wushan Mountain. Then, the clouds and mist around the entire mountain became even more ethereal, and a spiritual spring at the summit seemed to descend from the heavens, nourishing every blade of grass and tree.

The rising mist filled the entire mountain with the vital energy of heaven and earth; even a single breath would grant longevity to an ordinary person.

Having done all this, Zu An flew to Goddess Peak. The current Goddess Peak didn’t actually have a name, and compared to later versions, it was only half-formed, resembling more of a platform among the mountains.

He personally planted the Yao Grass, wrapped in five-colored divine soil, on it. Qiu Honglei, standing beside him, handed him the Jade Pool Elixir: “Brother Zu, the Jade Pool Elixir is rich in life force and the mysteries of the universe; it can even nurture the elixir of immortality. It should be able to help Yao Ji.”

Zu An took the porcelain bottle and carefully dripped a drop onto the Yao Grass. He didn’t dare add too much; the Jade Pool Elixir was too potent, and Yao Ji was too fragile at this moment. He could only water her more when she was a little older.

The nectar had just been poured on, and the originally delicate jade grass seemed to have grown a bit, its entire body radiating a crystal-clear emerald green light.

Zu An was overjoyed: “Red Tears, it seems it was fate that brought me to meet you. You not only brought the elixir of immortality, but also the Jade Pool Nectar suitable for the growth of plants.”

“Fate is indeed wondrous.” Qiu Honglei knew best that her lover had been extremely guilty all these years for not being able to save the Goddess of Wushan. Even when he smiled, there was an unshakeable sorrow hidden in his eyes. Today was the first time she had seen him smile with such relief.

Xi He, standing to the side, couldn’t help but feel a little sour. They had known each other for much longer, and were as close as family. She, his nominal wife, felt like an outsider.

At this moment, a pair of warm hands grasped hers: “Xi He, thank you for your companionship. Speaking of which, we have experienced three lifetimes of love together.”

Seeing the other’s starry eyes, all the anger in Xi He’s heart vanished. This guy is truly my destined nemesis. Just his smile makes me happy.

The three of them settled down in Wushan, tending to the Yao Grass and enjoying their time together. They found a quiet, cozy moment amidst their busy lives.

Xihe learned more and more about Zu’an, and while her love for him grew, she also began to worry about why her future self didn’t remember any of this, including the story of Hou Yi shooting down the suns.

However, she didn’t spoil this precious time of joy, keeping everything bottled up inside. Having chosen him, she was willing to trust him.

After all, according to what the two had said, in the future timeline, Zu’an did eventually save the ten suns.

Compared to her heavy heart, Qiu Honglei was much more relaxed, and the two thoroughly enjoyed the happiness of a long-awaited reunion.

At these times, Xihe would go to Goddess Peak to water the grass.

Seeing the Yao Grass growing ever greener, her mood improved considerably.

“Yaoji, oh Yaoji, grow up quickly and see how fickle that guy is.”

“He even wanted me to join him! How could I, the dignified Sun Goddess, do such a thing? That Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden is really something else, completely lacking the aloofness a Mystic Maiden should have, even encouraging me from the sidelines.” “

I know her intentions; she wants to win me over to deal with that Chu Chuyan. I heard your future reincarnation is best friends with someone surnamed Chu. Is she really that scary?”

“Sigh, I’m taking care of you now, so you’ll have to help me save my son in the future.”

…

During this time, Donghuang Taiyi came several times to urge Zu’an to return to the Heavenly Palace, but Zu’an was worried about Yaoji and wanted to stay in Wushan to protect her.

Because he had already managed to prevent Shennong from allying with Xuanyuan, Donghuang Taiyi could only give up. He then led the Ten Demon Generals to fight Xuanyuan’s subordinates, and the battle was extremely fierce. After

seeing the messenger off, Zu’an chuckled to himself. Why did both sides fight to the death for the position of Heavenly Emperor of this world? This world already had problems.

Suddenly, a spatial fluctuation occurred, and Houtu emerged from the void. Away from the dark environment of Youdu, she was even more breathtakingly beautiful.

Seeing the unique holiness and dignity on her face, Zu’an quickly composed himself: “Why has Your Majesty come in person?”

According to Xihe, Houtu almost never left Youdu.

Houtu cut to the chase: “I’ve been thinking about many things lately, and I suddenly realized something. You said last time that I only refined the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the future, so why don’t I do it now?”

Zu’an was taken aback. Indeed, the future Houtu was just a phantom, and could only entrust his then-not-so-powerful self with collecting the authority of the Six Paths World. That task seemed impossible to complete.

The Houtu of this world was a powerful being comparable to the Heavenly Emperor; if she were to create the Six Paths of Reincarnation, she should do it now.

Houtu said: “Now you are the Heavenly Emperor, and I am still quite powerful. I think we should create the Six Paths of Reincarnation now and see where the problem lies.”
