Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.
Chapter 1436 Penglai Fairy Mountain
Penglai Mountain!
The easternmost place within the Great Zhou.
Here, the place is surrounded by the endless ocean, and the end of the sight seems like a gap, giving people a sense of desolation.
The sea breeze was blowing, and the towering Penglai Mountain looked graceful and very different.
The Da Zhou land, which is the closest to Penglai Mountain, requires a three-day and three-night boat ride to reach.
Therefore, since ancient times, Mount Penglai has been extremely mysterious, and even ordinary people are unaware of its special existence.
Even though they were good at swimming, few fishermen who had lived on the nearest continent throughout the ages had the opportunity to climb Mount Penglai, let alone know anything about it.
But even so, the entire Penglai Mountain exists in the hearts of countless people.
Throughout the thousands of years of history, countless people have spent their entire lives, tried every possible means, and spent all their wealth just to be able to enter Mount Penglai.
However, even for royal nobles, it is quite difficult to set foot on Mount Penglai.
Therefore, over time, climbing Mount Penglai has become a lifelong dream for people.
This is because Penglai Mountain is not just a strange mountain hanging over the sea, but also the base of the five great ancient families.
Legend has it that five thousand years ago, five brothers with different surnames first discovered Mount Penglai.
This isolated island suspended overseas is filled with countless rare treasures and panaceas.
Any one of them is rare in the world.
There are even secret treasures that can make bones grow flesh and bring the dead back to life.
It is precisely because of these treasures that these five people grew at an extremely fast speed and eventually became giants.
They once controlled the court, changed the situation in the world, and even stirred up the world.
At that time, the five major families were more useful than the royal family, and even the change of imperial power depended on the five major families.
Over time, their existence has become a lofty position in the secular world.
No one knows how much wealth they have accumulated, no one knows how much power they control, and no one knows what strength they have.
And they gradually developed their own special names, and were known as the five great ancient families.
The five great ancient families were different from other aristocratic families, not only because they had an uninterrupted history of 5,000 years, but also because they had become the existence that all the aristocratic families looked up to.
However, a thousand years ago, the five ancient aristocratic families almost stopped interfering in worldly affairs.
Overnight, they seemed to disappear out of thin air.
But everyone knows that it is not that they cannot gain a foothold in the secular world, but that they have long been tired of these worldly things.
But despite this, no one dared to underestimate the five great ancient families, and no one looked down on the five great ancient families.
Because everyone understands that they just disdain worldly struggles, not that they don't have the power to fight against the world.
As long as the five ancient families are willing and raise their arms to call for action, all the noble families in the world will surely follow their lead!
However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world.
It has long been rumored that the fundamental reason why the five great ancient families no longer participate in the struggles in the secular world is that they no longer rely on the so-called power struggles, but pursue two words: eternal life!
eternal life!
Just two words are enough to make everything in the world go crazy.
If one could live forever, power and wealth would be nothing but passing clouds.
Why are we obsessed with eating, drinking and having fun in this world?
That's because life is limited, like a fleeting moment.
Just a drop in the ocean, time passes.
How can we satisfy unlimited desires within a limited time? !
The only way is to speed up and fight for power and profit, and then use the remaining lifespan to barely enjoy the very small part of this world.
This is not fair, but there is no other way.
Therefore, there are only two things people can do.
One is to fight for power to the extreme, to reach the pinnacle of power and control more resources.
In this way, you can only barely feel one or two things.
The second is to try to make yourself live longer.
However, the first method still has a chance, while the second one depends purely on luck.
No matter whether you are a favored child of the emperor or a refugee, you may die at birth, or you may live a few more days.
These are uncontrollable.
Stand tall at thirty and have no doubts at forty.
At fifty, you know your destiny!
For most people in this world, living to the age of fifty is a rare achievement and is considered a long life.
As for more, it depends on luck and virtue.
It is rare for a person to live to be seventy years old. This short sentence is enough to explain everything.
But the five ancient families on Mount Penglai are different!
They have gone beyond the world's cognition, escaped from the struggle for power, and begun to move towards eternal life.
They are constantly breaking the lifespan limits of their own people.
From seventy, to eighty, and even to ninety.
Rumor has it that there are still many members of the tribe who are over a hundred years old and are still full of energy!
You know, living to eighty years old is equivalent to living a second life!
How crazy and shocking this is!
As for the five great ancient families, no one knows how far they have gone on the road to eternal life.
No one knows how old the oldest among them is.
But when countless emperors were willing to give up their thrones just to be able to climb Mount Penglai, it was enough to explain everything.
Fishermen who have been close to Mount Penglai have rumored that the entire mountain is shrouded in rain and fog, just like a fairyland.
There is abundant spiritual energy inside. If you stay there for one day, you can increase your lifespan by ten days!
If you can stay there for a year, you can increase your lifespan by ten years!
Therefore, Penglai Mountain has been called Penglai Fairy Mountain since thousands of years ago!
The change of name is enough to illustrate the change in status and supreme glory of Penglai Mountain in the hearts of the world.
Even now, on the other side of the sea, there are still countless devout believers who burn incense and pray every day, hoping that they will have a chance to be noticed by the Penglai Fairy Mountain and enter it, even if only for one day!
At this time, the Penglai Fairy Mountain was still as fairy-like as ever, and very different.
But at the top of Penglai Fairy Mountain, five figures suddenly appeared.
They sat cross-legged, forming a pentagon.
The five golden-forged cushions shine particularly brightly under the sunlight.
The five figures sitting above looked old and frail, and it was obvious at first glance that they were not ordinary people.
If other people in Penglai Mountain knew about this, they would definitely be shocked!
Because these five immortal-looking people are not ordinary people, but the patriarchs of the five great ancient families!
It is also one of the five great ancient families, and one of the ones with the longest lifespan still in existence!
Each of these five people lived a second life!
Everyone has stepped into the threshold of 100 years old!
And the gathering of five people has not happened for a thousand years!
