Penglai Immortal Gate, before the Ancestor of the Transformation God chose to retreat here, it was just a group of scattered islands, and there was no specific name. When the inland monks mentioned them, they would only jokingly call them fishermen from the southern sea.
In the past, each island had its own ruler, and fighting among them for territory was common.
At that time, the monks on the other side of the sea had only the highest level of cultivation in the late Golden Core stage, and the overall level of monks was much lower than that of inland monks.
The Jindan monks were able to dominate the former Penglai, so as soon as the Transformation monks left, they integrated all the islands together in less than three days.
Let’s not forget how each island owner feels when facing their enemies, how they feel when their enemies suddenly become one of their own, and whether the islands seem to be in harmony with each other.
In short, the prototype of Penglai Immortal Sect has been formed at this time.
Women have been dominant in Penglai for a long time. One of the important factors is that women here have higher overall cultivation than men. The proportion of women with spiritual roots is also far higher than that of men.
.
Over time, women are strong and men are weak, and men's status naturally gradually develops into what it is now.
The current ruler of Penglai Immortal Sect is the descendant of the ancestor who transformed into gods, and half of the elders in the Immortal Sect are women who once served him, and the other half are the island owners who submitted to him at that time.
The first person in charge of the Immortal Sect was the ancestor of the gods himself. In less than a year, he handed over all the power to the most favored concubine, and he stayed in seclusion all day long and did not care about worldly affairs.
A hundred years later, this beloved concubine successfully gave birth to a daughter, who is now known as Immortal Master Feng.
The wedding they attended this time was the marriage between his only son Feng Qiqian and the two daughters of the largest island owner, the elder of the Xianmen.
The person who came to give gifts on behalf of the Mosha Sect this time was not Shang Xun, but a late-stage Jindan monk whom she did not recognize, who was also following these two or three foundation-building disciples.
The sect had other arrangements for giving gifts, and Tong Yan couldn't help but suspect that it was because he was coming that Shang Xun had to come.
But soon, Shang Xun told her that she was overthinking.
The two of them stood on the bow of the ship, and the airship shuttled quickly through the clouds. The sparse clouds slowly retreated, and the strong wind blew on the barrier, unable to disturb the people on the deck.
"When I get to Penglai, I have to leave for a few days because of something. During this time, be sure to follow Cheng Siyi."
Cheng Siyi is the golden elixir monk who is sending gifts on behalf of the sect.
"Okay." Tong Yan agreed obediently, but at the same time he was curious about what he needed to leave.
"Master, did you decide to go to Penglai for this trip because of what happened next?"
"Of course." Shang Xun said, turning his head to look at her with a hint of joking in his eyes, "Could it be that you thought I was here to escort you?"
Tong Yan glanced away embarrassedly, she had indeed thought so just now.
"What is it? Meeting old friends, or going to explore the mermaid in the abyss." Being stared at by Shang Xun made her feel a little uncomfortable, so she hurriedly changed the subject.
Various mermaid legends have been circulating in Penglai. Some say that mermaids are extremely beautiful, pure and kind, and are the darlings of the sea. Others say that mermaids are actually Yakshas, ugly in appearance and extremely vicious.
Shang Xun: "Would you believe me when I told you to catch mermaids?"
Tong Yan said firmly: "Believe!"
After all, this is the world of cultivation, and there are no weird creatures, so she would rather believe that they exist than not.
An almost inaudible sneer sounded after she finished speaking.
Shang Xun said leisurely: "If you really encounter a mermaid during this trip to the deep sea, how about I catch one and raise it for you."
"No!" After hearing this, the child quickly waved his hand and refused, "The difference between a mermaid and a human is probably two legs and a fish tail. I can't keep a human as a pet."
Keeping people as pets?
Shang Xun suddenly said, "Do you think a mermaid is a human or a fish?"
"Half-human and half-fish can be considered human. Just like a demon cultivator, he looks like a human on the surface, but he is actually a demon. He is different from a human, but you can't tell whether he is good or bad just by looking at his appearance."
What monks pay attention to is that monsters are monsters, and monster cultivators are also monsters. Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. Although there are very few demon cultivators in this world, most people are hostile and prejudiced against demon cultivators.
But, "You're right."
The sea of clouds was flowing outside the ship. After a while, Shang Xun said slowly, "Whether a mermaid is a human or a demon depends on how you think about it, and you have to learn to distinguish between good and evil."
The world is so vast, and a monk's life will not be stuck in one place forever.
He can't be by her side all the time.
Penglai Immortal Gate is built on an island thousands of feet away from the coastline. Generally speaking, except for the flying boats from the local Immortal Gate, they can fly in directly. Foreign flying boats must obtain permission to enter.
If you don't have a pass, if you want to enter Xianmen, you can only stop outside Binchuan City on the seaside and take a special boat from Xianmen.
The Mosha Sect's flying boat had an invitation letter, so it was able to pass directly. It didn't take too long. Tong Yan and the others didn't even need to get off the boat. They directly lowered their flying altitude and slid over the sea level.
The blue sea is boundless, with islands vaguely appearing in distant places, and seagulls flying around.
Suddenly, a red fish as big as a fist jumped up, with a big mouth full of fine teeth, which looked a bit eerie under the sunlight.
Tong Yan was standing on the edge of the boat at the moment. When he first saw the big-mouthed fish with bulging eyes and a red body that looked like it had been cooked, he raised his head back slightly in shock.
"What the hell?"
The big-mouthed fish jumped up and bumped into the barrier of the flying boat. After being blocked from the outside, it crunched its teeth several times.
At this time, a hand stretched out from the side and flicked the fish's head, causing it to fall down.
The fish fell, and Tong Yan leaned forward to look at it curiously, his eyes quickly following it.
It seems that I heard a "dong" sound when entering the water, and water splashed everywhere.
"These are the monsters of the sea."
There are countless monsters in the sea, and this is just one of the weakest among them.
"How about we raise this one?" Tong Yan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Shang Xun glanced at her sideways and questioned her aesthetics, "Are you sure you want to take care of her when she looks like this?"
Tong Yan couldn't help but think carefully about the appearance of the big-mouthed fish again. The sharp mouth took up half of the face, and the bulging eyes moved. The red fish body was covered with scales of uneven colors. In addition, it had
Two fins half as big as the body.
If you raise such a fish, you will really have to feed yourself to the fish.
"Then I'd better think about it carefully."
The flying boat sailed on the sea for a while, and soon you could see the buildings on the main island of Xianmen. Its style was very different from that of the Demon Temple Sect.
They approached the edge of the island, and there were already people waiting below. It seems that when they were handing in the invitation, the news of their arrival from the Immortal Sect disciples reached the ears of the senior officials of the Penglai Immortal Sect.
Standing in front of the crowd is a young man and woman. If you guess correctly, these two are the protagonists of this wedding, Feng Qiqian and Shao Yunyao.
