Chapter 455: Chapter 323: Queen Mother of the West! (Part 4)

Sun Yan looked at Lin Wan and spoke.

The Lin Group is an international conglomerate organization.

With the power of the Lin Group, it might be possible to locate the Kunlun Ruins more quickly.

"Alright, I’ll handle this. I’ll have someone investigate it," Lin Wan nodded, agreeing immediately.

——

Ancient sayings mention: At the age of sixty-seven, Emperor of Zhou ordered his charioteer, Smith, to drive the eight steeds from Luoyang, heading westward to Kunlun Mountain, where he met with the Queen Mother of the West at the Jasper Pool, enjoying endless days of singing and wine.

The Kunlun Mountain range stretches across the west, reaching a length of 2500 kilometers.

It is the mythical divine mountain, the ancestor of all mountains.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas records: In the western sea, beyond the quicksand, past the Red Water, before the Black Water, there is a great mountain called Kunlun Hill.

The master of Kunlun has always been the Queen Mother of the West since ancient times.

Moreover, the image of the Queen Mother of the West has consistently existed in mythology.

After Hou Yi shot down the suns, his great deeds led him to Kunlun Mountain to request the Undying Medicine from the Queen Mother of the West, who offered him an Immortal Pill.

Hou Yi should have been able to ascend to immortality, but Chang’e, driven by greed, stole the Immortal Pill and thus robbed Hou Yi of his chance to become immortal.

During the Battle of Zhuolu between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, the Yellow Emperor’s situation was unfavorable, highlighting a defeat.

However, in a dream, he saw the Queen Mother of the West dispatching an envoy with a military talisman, and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman, who had a human head and bird body, came to teach military strategy and the art of metaphysical warfare.

The Yellow Emperor thus successfully defeated Chiyou, becoming the leader of the Five Emperors.

Later, leaders of tribes such as Yao, Shun, and Yu also had contact with the Queen Mother of the West.

By the time of King Mu of the fifth generation of Western Zhou, there was irrefutable evidence of the Queen Mother’s existence.

It is said that the over-fifty-year-old King Mu liked adventurous expeditions, so his subordinates gifted him swift horses that could travel tens of thousands of miles a day, allowing him to reach anywhere in the world.

When King Mu was sixty-seven, he set out from Luoyang, journeying west to Kunlun Mountain to meet with the Queen Mother of the West.

In Kunlun, King Mu toured the Queen Mother’s palaces and was so delighted that he was reluctant to leave.

He only left Kunlun when the southeastern Xu Kingdom rebelled, requiring him to return to the capital to quell the revolt.

In myths, the Queen Mother of the West is a profoundly mysterious figure, and her possession of the Undying Medicine makes her a figure of yearning for earthly emperors.

In the late Eastern Han, Daoism considered the Queen Mother of the West to be the ruler of Kunlun Mountain, residing in Tianyong City.

The Western Queen Mother Chronicles by Eastern Han scholar Huan Lin mentioned: A city spanning a thousand miles, with twelve jade towers, the ornate palace of Qionghua, the Guangbi Hall, the nine-tiered Yuan Room, the purple-green elixirs chamber, flanked by the Jasper Pool on the left and encircled by Emerald Waters on the right.

This describes Kunlun as a grotto paradise, also the dwelling of the Immortal Family.

Though later generations categorized the Queen Mother of the West as a heavenly empress, in truth she was not a part of the Celestial Court system, but rather an independent entity of the Kunlun Ruins,

being an independent existence, not subjected to the Celestial Court’s jurisdiction.

Even so, when the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao mentioned the Kunlun Ruins, he could not help but feel apprehensive.

The Lin’s private hotel, rooftop.

Sun Yan lay by the poolside, enjoying a sunbath.

During this period, he’s been waiting; Lin Wan has dispatched a large number of personnel to start searching for the exact location of the Kunlun Ruins.

Since ancient times, the specific location of the Kunlun Ruins has always been subject to various speculations.

Merely because, after King Mu of Zhou, few records show anyone actually entering the Kunlun Ruins again.

And the Kunlun Ruins, unlike Kunlun Mountain, as a grotto paradise, are not something ordinary people can easily find.

Sima Qian documented Zhang Qian’s achievements in the Biography of Dayuan, expressing skepticism about Emperor Wu of Han’s assertion that Kunlun Mountain is the Kunlun Ruins.

Central Plains People often say Kunlun is in the Western Regions, but few can describe its exact position in detail.

Thus, over the years, the Kunlun Ruins have become an unsolved mystery.

Having become an Immortal Family member and experienced many Lands of the Profane, Sun Yan firmly believes that the Kunlun Ruins should also be akin to a Land of the Profane.

It’s like a barrier; although it exists in this world, it’s not something the naked eye can see, or the physical body can enter.

One must master some method to enter the Kunlun Ruins. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Lin Wan’s current task is to find a place similar to this condition, so Sun Yan can personally investigate.

"Sun Yan, there’s news."

At this moment, Lin Wan hurriedly approached, saying to the sunbathing Sun Yan:

"A Lin Group expedition team discovered a supernatural phenomenon in Gangdise. In a valley, once someone enters, they lose their sense of direction and only emerge after several days. Many shepherds call it the entrance to Hell, and cattle and sheep that wander in never return. It may have some connection to the Kunlun Ruins."

"Finally, there’s news, let’s head over and take a look now."

Sun Yan leapt up, stretching his muscles, saying.

"Alright, I’ll arrange the plane right away, and we can depart immediately," Lin Wan nodded.

After all, the Lin Group is a giant corporation, and by evening that day, Sun Yan had already reached Gangdise.

Local Lin Group members had been waiting in SUVs, and as soon as Sun Yan and two others boarded, they were taken to the valley.

On the grasslands, mountains stood.

Seen from a distance, they rose majestically like sky peaks, exceedingly grand.

As a region known as the Spine of the World, it had high altitudes and thin air.

When the convoy arrived outside a valley, Sun Yan saw that a number of tents were erected at the valley entrance.

At this moment, a group of people were guarding near the tents, and upon seeing the convoy arrive, a middle-aged man quickly approached.
