Chapter 550-2: The Daily Records of Martial Emperor, Enma’s Right Attendant (2)
[Martial Emperor only knew that Penglai Immortal Island was located in Moon Disc Sea Region, but because Penglai’s gate was ethereal and uncertain, he could not enter for a long time.]
[Perhaps Martial Emperor’s heart of seeking the Dao moved heaven and earth. After being baptized by a sudden great storm at sea, the wind stopped and the waves calmed, the sky cleared, and the ironclad giant ship actually sailed into a sea region never seen before. Penglai Immortal Island abruptly entered his eyes.]
[Penglai’s appearance was magnificent and strange, as if a heavenly palace had fallen into the mortal world. The island’s outline was like a natural painting, with layers of emerald peaks and coiling clouds and mist.]
[Upon the immortal island, jade towers and jeweled palaces stood row upon row, fully displaying the air of immortal families. The buildings all used white jade as their foundation, paired with emerald bamboo and green pines, their upturned eaves and interlocking brackets rising straight into the clouds.]
[Around the island, blue waves rippled. The seawater was crystal clear, the beaches were white as silver, strange treasures and exotic beasts wandered leisurely, and immortal cranes soared beneath the blue sky and white clouds…]
[However, after the ironclad ship docked, only Martial Emperor alone could disembark and land on the island. Although all the attendants did their utmost to follow, they were blocked by an invisible force and were always refused entry, unable to land on the island.]
[No one knows what happened after Martial Emperor landed on the island.]
[One day later, Martial Emperor left the island and returned. He ordered the ironclad ship to sail away. As the ship traveled farther and farther, Penglai Immortal Island, like an immortal realm, gradually vanished.]
[After the trip to Penglai, Martial Emperor ended his incognito tour and immediately returned to the imperial palace. Ignoring the opposition of all ministers, he built a Daoist treasure hall, Qinan Hall, in the Imperial Garden.]
