The Ten Continent Chronicles states: Kunlun, referred to as Kunleng.
Located in the Xu region of the West Sea and the Hai region of the North Sea, thirteen thousand miles from the shore. It is also surrounded by the Ruishui River. To the southeast lies Jishi Garden, to the northwest lies the North House Room. To the northeast is the Great Living Well, and to the southwest is Chengyuan Valley. These four great mountains are indeed the supports of Kunlun.
Kunlun Mountain is not a mere hill but the origin of all mountain ranges, the root and link of heaven and earth, and the axis of myriad degrees.
Besides the four great mountains, there should be Pingxie Mountain, Jingcao Mountain, Jiao-Dragon Mountain around.
Of course, these are just minor details; Song Lin only wanted to create a framework, and the details of such ancestral veins as Kunlun would surely differ due to topographical differences in each world.
These are the four great mountains, pillars of the Kunlun Mountain Range.
"This is it."
The Queen Mother of the West took Song Lin into the sky, pointing at the four mountains in all directions, spanning thousands of miles.
"At the foot of the mountains are the Ruishui River, fiery mountains, Zengcheng, among others."
The foot of the mountain is surrounded by three circles of the deep Ruishui River, and outside that is the fiery mountain.
At the foot of the mountain are the Kunlun Snake, Kunlun Bird, and Sanqing Birds circling.
From the foot upward is called "Zengcheng," with nine layers and nine gates from bottom to top, guarded by nine Kai Ming Beasts at the gates.
The total height is eleven thousand miles; above are Mu He, Pearl Trees, Jade Trees, Spinning Trees, Undying Trees, and Langhuan; there are nine Jade Wells.
"The Undying Clan mostly resides here."
Song Lin knew this place, located at the middle of Kunlun Mountain, with a yellow Pill Water at the center of the city; drinking it grants immortality, though only within Kunlun Mountain.
For example, if a person's lifespan is a hundred years, continuously living on Kunlun Mountain and consuming Pill Water would neither increase nor decrease their lifespan, keeping it fixed at a hundred years.
It only begins to flow again upon descending the mountain.
"These Pill Waters are probably the essence of the earth veins in the mortal world."
"Indeed, all the wind, water, wood, and stone are not ordinary objects."
As one ascends Kunlun Mountain, it becomes increasingly mystical; just breathing the air at the summit grants hundreds of times the essence gained below.
Atop Kunlun Mountain is Xuanpu, which is essentially the Immortal Realm.
The very top is Langfeng Garden, featuring twelve layers of the Jade Tower, nine layers of the Xuan Room, with the Turquoise Pool on the right and green water on the left.
This is the palace complex under Song Lin's feet.
And it is the essence of Kunlun Mountain.
The water of the Turquoise Pool does not merely extend life; drinking much of it benefits cultivation and also extends lifespan.
The Peach Tree is even more remarkable, bearing fruit every five hundred years, and consuming it extends life by five hundred years.
"Only with man and mountain, this is what an immortal is."
Song Lin couldn't help but sigh.
The word 'immortal' is the combination of man and mountain.
With such a blessed land, prosperity of the Magic Vein is assured.
In Song Lin's view, the decline of the Human Clan in the real world might be due to a lack of a proper Ancestral Court.
A place like Kunlun Mountain could withstand ten times the forces without falling, unless overwhelmingly powerful masters appeared.
This is also why the Jade Emperor could do nothing about Kunlun; even attempting to invade would come at a devastating cost.
Song Lin stayed for three months, under the guidance of the Queen Mother of the West, roughly understanding the workings of Kunlun Mountain.
In his heart, he already had a plan for the future Taoist School.
The real world must have Kunlun, with Kunlun serving as the Ancestral Court of the Taoist School, overseeing all directions while gathering the world's powers to nurture human geniuses.
Humans inherently lack physical advantages and excel in utilizing nature, which is the future path of the Human Clan.
On this day, Song Lin bade farewell to the Queen Mother of the West and descended the mountain.
Two of the Eight Immortals were still missing, and if history followed its course, Imperial Uncle Cao should be born soon.
From the previous eight, only Bi Xuan and Xuan Su remained.
Bi Xuan was female and, if expectations were correct, should have turned into a male body.
Hann Xiangzi, a Tang Dynasty man.
He should also be a seeker of the immortals and the way; Song Lin might have missed this person earlier.
Kaifeng Prefecture.
Song Lin, disguised as a scholar in white, walked through the bustling streets.
At the start of the Great Song, Song Zu did not plunder, quickly gaining widespread support, except for a few disobedient vassal towns, and the territory left from the Later Zhou was nearly stabilized.
No matter how the Song Dynasty performed later, as one of the relatively benevolent vassal towns during turbulent times, the transition of power did not cause casualties, gaining public favor.
At this time, many people crowded around a stall on the street, pointing and making sarcastic remarks.
Song Lin went closer to see; it was a handsome scholar, sitting leisurely at a table with nothing in front of him, while a white banner beside him read: Selling Rain and Snow.
It said one hundred taels per inch.
"Can rain and snow really be sold?"
"Impossible, it's clearly a scam. There's still more than half a month until the start of winter, not the snow season."
The man raised a fine brow and chuckled, "You can try if you don't believe me; you can get a refund if it doesn't work."
Some bold people bought three inches on the spot.
"Tomorrow, if there's no snow, I'll break your bones."
"Of course, you can always find me at the Bright Moon Tower."
The scholar packed up after receiving the money, bought a jug of wine, and drunkenly returned home, playing a tune on a purple-gold flute from his waist as he drank.
The melody carried a hint of joy and revealed the true meaning of carefree freedom.
Upon seeing this person, Song Lin finally confirmed this was Hann Xiangzi.
It should be Bi Xuan's transformation; there were no feminine traits, probably having turned male several reincarnations ago.
The next day.
Hann Xiangzi suddenly heard a commotion from downstairs, and looking through the window, felt a chill in his heart.
Indeed, there was no snow, clear skies, not a cloud in sight; not even mist.
"Something's not right; how could there be no snow? I clearly..."
"Hey, you, come down here!"
The old wealthy man shouted up at Hann Xiangzi sticking his head out.
A group rushed up and gave Hann Xiangzi a beating, from which he barely escaped with great effort.
Hann Xiangzi ran all the way outside the city, leaning against a large tree, panting.
"Phew, finally escaped."
Hann Xiangzi's hair was disheveled, and his face bore fist marks.
There are rules to playing amongst mortals; spells must not be casually used, especially not to oppress ordinary people.
Hann Xiangzi could easily slay a thousand such mortals with a single spell, yet he followed the rules to the end.
At this moment, a shadow fell over him.
A white-robed scholar looked at him with a smiling face.
"You..."
"I created the snow."
Hann Xiangzi composed himself, asking, "Who might you be, Taoist?"
"Pure Yang True Man, Song Lin."
Boom!
In an instant, memories of the past rushed back.
"Disciple Hann Xiangzi greets the Patriarch!"
Hann Xiangzi cupped his fists and saluted.
By calling himself Hann Xiangzi, it indicated that his memories in this world were primarily of Hann Xiangzi.
"Rise. Long time no see."
Song Lin smiled.
Another among the Eight Immortals was found.
There were still several decades until the appearance of Imperial Uncle Cao.
During these decades, Song Lin decided not to travel, instead finding a cave mansion to seclude himself, preparing to refine the Taiyi Golden Flower for the final Harmonization.
Meanwhile, he returned to the real world to present the Kunlun Blueprint to everyone.
In the Heavenly Master World, the Four Realms of Heaven, Earth, Humans, and Demons were all set in motion.
This was a grand millennia-long endeavor.
