"Elder, have you always lived here?" Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and asked.

The old fisherman put the bamboo basket aside, also sat on the stone next to the spring pool, and after thinking for a moment, said, "I don't remember, it's been so long that I don't recall how long I've lived here, anyway, it's quite a long time. To say I've always lived here, it's not like that. I remember back then, I was brought to Penglai Fairy Island by an immortal, who told me this place would become a sought-after location by all clans, a place of pilgrimage for countless strong individuals. He asked me to stay here as a fisherman and guide those destined people, and he assured me that my safety wouldn't be a concern; no one would harm me!"

Ye Tianchen was startled; the old fisherman hadn't always lived here, so what had happened before this? The immortal who brought the old fisherman to "Penglai Fairy Island" made him a guide but didn't teach him any Martial Arts Cultivation Skill, which was quite strange. Did they truly not fear supreme strong individuals causing trouble or acting out here?

"Elder, where is the immortal who brought you to the Penglai Ancient Martial World now?" Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know, after the immortal brought me to Penglai Fairy Island back then, he disappeared. Later, I've been guiding some destined individuals here, and eventually, no one could find this place. To support myself, I started fishing around. By the way, I remember now, Penglai Fairy Island wasn't like this before. It became what it is now after some events happened..."

The old fisherman seemed to have forgotten many things; after all, he has lived for seven thousand years, and some things are indeed too distant. However, when asked by Ye Tianchen, he truly started remembering some things, and he was surprised, trying hard to recall.

"What kind of events changed the Penglai Ancient Martial World from what it was before?" Ye Tianchen was also shocked and quickly asked.

"Let me think, from where should I start? Yes, I remember that year I just turned one hundred years old, and when a person lives to a hundred, they have some insights into life and death. I seemingly sensed that my time was limited, so I prepared to find a resting place for myself... It was at that time that Penglai Fairy Island underwent earth-shattering changes. Originally, some Blessed Land Cave Heaven, some sects with no slaughter and conflict began fighting each other due to a Divine Mountain that descended from the sky, causing the fairyland of Penglai Fairy Island to be bloodstained. After that event, Penglai Fairy Island lost its peaceful and heavenly realm vibe; what's left is like a Barbaric, uncharted world..." The old fisherman recalled something, and he said in shock.

"What? A Divine Mountain that descended from the sky? Is there such a thing?" Xiao Ling couldn't help but ask in shock.

"Exactly, I remember now; it was a Divine Mountain that descended from the sky, shaking the whole Penglai Fairy Island. Then powerful Immortal Energy burst out from the mountain. The factions and families on Penglai Fairy Island thought it was Immortal Fate appearing, potentially a pathway to the Immortal World. Large numbers of Martial Arts Experts headed for the center of Penglai Fairy Island because the Divine Mountain landed there. Many powerful legacies were activated to fight for Immortal Fate. It was then that the immortal who brought me to Penglai Fairy Island appeared. He said something to me and left, never to appear again..." The old fisherman recounted these events from thousands of years ago while muttering to himself.

Ye Tianchen paused, Penglai Ancient Martial World, the Divine Mountain that descended from the sky shattered this place once hailed as an earthly paradise, what an astonishing event, and it happened seven thousand years ago. At that time, the old fisherman was one hundred years old, now seven thousand years old; it aligns with the Pre-Qin period. During that time, Penglai Ancient Martial World underwent drastic changes, leading to seekers of immortality being unable to find the "Penglai Fairy Island." That should be the reason. Ye Tianchen nodded in thought; no wonder during Pre-Qin, Chinese great emperors sent many experts to find "Penglai Fairy Island" but failed; it's because something happened here!

"Elder, what did the immortal who brought you to Penglai Fairy Island say to you? Can you tell me?" Ye Tianchen asked.

The old fisherman thought for a moment before speaking, "I don't clearly remember; it seemed like he told me Penglai Fairy Island was in chaos. The destruction of the entire Martial Arts World affected this place terribly, and in the future, there would be no fairyland like this, only the Divine Mountain that descended from the sky would be an Immortal Land, but not to go there. Lastly, he pointed to a nearby bamboo grove, saying perhaps there's a chance for me to survive there, and then vanished."

Ye Tianchen paused; the immortal who brought the old fisherman to "Penglai Fairy Island" was extraordinarily strong, foreseeing many things. What became of this immortal? Did he die or go elsewhere? Ye Tianchen didn't believe the "immortal" spoken of by the old fisherman was truly a celestial being; in this Martial Arts World, there's no instance of Eternal Life. In the old fisherman's view, the "immortal" should be a powerful martial artist.

"In the end, I went to the bamboo grove pointed by the immortal, which is where I currently reside. However, what I didn't expect was that since living here, my bodily functions initially declined, and when I sensed my impending death, my physical condition gradually improved, showing no signs of decay even now, which I don't quite understand!" The old fisherman furrowed his brow and said.

Ye Tianchen nodded. The old fisherman is merely a mortal, unaware of the mystery within, nor that the spring water within this pool contains life-extending effects. Simply drinking this water daily changed his bodily functions, preventing aging, enabling him to live for seven thousand years. These are personal blessings for the old fisherman. Such a place is truly rare and coveted; if known by powerful martial artists, who knows how fierce the battles to seize the life-extending mysterious water would be.

"Elder, these are personal opportunities and blessings for you. I believe the immortal who brought you to Penglai Fairy Island is a kind-hearted martial artist!" Ye Tianchen said.

"Hmm, I truly wish to meet him again. Without him, this old man would be dead long ago; I should thank him!" The old fisherman said humbly.

At this moment, after hearing the old fisherman's account, both Ye Tianchen and Xiao Ling were astounded. They naturally didn't expect changes like these in Penglai Ancient Martial World; it wasn't like this before, and now there's only one Immortal Realm land left.

"A Divine Mountain that descended from the sky, could it be..." Xiao Ling suddenly thought of something, nearly blurting out.

"It should be that very mountain!" Ye Tianchen nodded, speaking with his eyes filled with astonishment, as he had already recalled that mountain.

"Which mountain range are you talking about? I remember seeing that scene; it was terrifying. That mountain was conical..." The old fisherman thought for a moment and said.

Buzz!

Though Ye Tianchen had already anticipated that mountain range, that Divine Mountain which descended from the sky transformed the entire Penglai Ancient Martial World, it is now situated in the center of "Penglai Fairy Island," dubbed the forbidden zone "Buzhou Mountain." Despite this, hearing it confirmed by the old fisherman still gave Ye Tianchen a jolt.

Buzhou Mountain, what kind of place is it? Xiao Ling told himself that four Supreme Elders had gone there to see what had happened, only one returned alive, and after shouting thrice, "There is a celestial, a celestial, a celestial!" they vanished without a trace. What did they discover? What did they witness? And when Xiao Ling and he sought a safe sanctuary, merely using Divine Thought to probe that conical mountain from a great distance nearly cost them their lives. If not for the protection of "Holy Heaven Prison," both he and Xiao Ling would have been wiped out, even the supreme Treasure "Holy Heaven Prison" was blown away by an attack. What kind of power is this? Is it truly the power of a "celestial"? And now, the old fisherman revealed that this conical mountain descended from the sky, and it caused the turmoil in Penglai Ancient Martial World, too unbelievable. There are legends of "Buzhou Mountain" in China, and there's also a "Buzhou Mountain" here; could there be some connection between them?

"Wait here for a moment, I'll catch a few fish for you. The fish in this spring pool are quite nice, but they're not visible, you can only catch them by fishing!" The old fisherman picked up a bamboo fishing rod from the side, put bait on it, and began fishing.

"Elder, there are fish in here? How come I can't see them?" Xiao Ling looked at the shallow spring pool, furrowed his brow, and couldn't help but ask. (To be continued.
