Chapter 847: Fond of Joining Mount Shu
Daoist Cangsheng returned to the original site of Penglai with Daoist Cangqiu and Daoist Cangyun. With great enchanted power, he gathered the scattered stones and temporarily formed a small island to serve as their resting place.
Earlier, they had been tracking the Azure Dragon’s aura. But once they left the East Sea, his trail vanished completely, and they had no idea where he had gone.
The Azure Dragon had played a major role in defending Penglai. Daoist Cangsheng had originally planned to personally escort him back as a gesture of respect. But with no way to locate him now, he had no choice but to return first to Penglai and retrieve an azure scale.
He shaped his fingers into a brush, like a halberd poised to strike, and inscribed words onto the azure scale:
We have returned to the mountain. We wonder how your injuries are, where you are now, and whether we should come to personally welcome you back.
Truthfully, he wasn’t too concerned about the Azure Dragon’s safety. With his talent and mastery of his Great Dao, it would be incredibly difficult for someone like the Azure Dragon to die. No matter how badly he was injured, as long as he escaped in time, he would eventually recover to his peak with enough rest.
However, now that the Penglai Supreme Sect lay in ruins, they had no choice but to show proper respect to their guardian beast.
Daoist Cangsheng then tossed the azure scale into the sky, where it transformed into a streak of blue-golden light and soared through the air.
This azure scale was an enchanted artifact left by the Azure Dragon to deliver messages. Regardless of where the Azure Dragon was, this azure scale would reach him even to the ends of the world. Before the Circle of Immortal Friends became widespread, this was considered a high-end communication tool in the world of immortality cultivators.
But now that the Circle of Immortal Friends was used everywhere, flying message artifacts like this felt outdated and a bit clunky.
The Penglai Supreme Sect and the Mount Shu Sect had been enemies for a long time, so they had feared that using the Circle of Immortal Friends might allow the Mount Shu Sect to steal their secrets. And even if they wished to use it, Chu Liang wouldn’t grant them access. As a result, aside from a few individuals close to Chu Liang, the Penglai Supreme Sect remained one of the few major immortal sects isolated from the Circle of Immortal Friends.
