Why?
This mountain was originally a secret Daoist Field, additionally shrouded by a Big Array that obscured its spirit energy and eliminated all traces.
To enter the mountain, one either needed guidance from creatures within Jade Ring Mountain or had to pass through numerous tests.
For Tao Qian, however, neither was necessary, as he was now nominally a part of Jade Ring Mountain.
Upon reaching the territory, a Haotian Divine Light flew towards him, seizing his form and dragging him into the secret realm.
Tao Qian felt momentarily bewildered as he seemed to see an infinite, rainbow-like Jade Belt Sky Ring flying in from beyond the realm, encircling a spiritually spectacular mountain in this domain.
In an instant, he was standing at the foot of a spiritually beautiful mountain.
Merely through the Source Qi Spirit he inhaled, all impurities were removed, the spirit was exceptionally clear, letting Tao Qian know he was inside Jade Ring Mountain.
He unconsciously looked ahead and his eyes widened immediately.
This domain was beyond anyone's imagination, saying that everything was spirited and a place fit for immortals couldn't be more fitting.
The mountain seemed to be from beyond the heavens, not only featuring all four seasons but also replete with days and nights, with the entire celestial dome bowing before it.
Everywhere one could see fragrant exotic flowers, aromatic strange herbs, rare exotic beasts, seldom-seen elves, with rows of Jade Palaces and Snow Palaces intermittently revealing fleeting immortal figures, to the hidden valleys in the mountains with streams of Jade Liquid and pools of immortal liquid.
But most astonishing was the quietness and bustle of the mountain.
When it was quiet, all was silent except for the misty jade vapor.
When it was lively, it was this very moment.
Tao Qian's arrival seemed to have instantly awoken Jade Ring Mountain, and the whole mountain came alive.
Looking ahead, clusters of strange flowers and herbs emitted immortal light and transformed into human figures; each one not only bore striking beauty but also had their distinct temperaments and charms, completing a picture of varying beauty.
Looking behind, numerous colorful immortal birds and butterflies flew from different parts and landed on the ground, transforming instantly into ethereal beauties, blinking their eyes, all gazing at Tao Qian.
Looking to the sides, on the left were palaces showing dozens of lady fairies playing musical instruments, sipping tea, reciting poetry, and painting; each one was a rare fairy in the world. On the right were warm springs with dozens of fairies, their skin white as snow and bodies dripping with fragrant sweat, also bearing charming, spring-like eyes, seemingly inviting him to join them in the spring baths.
Such a grand spectacle burst forth, and in Tao Qian's mind, the Record thundered.
What luck!
This was indeed a strategic Array.
Although not of significant power, being caught in it would indeed cost one some face.
And ordinary cultivators, even other Great Divine Powers from Ultimate Happiness Realm, would find it hard to resist.
Only Tao Qian was exempt; not to mention the large [Exempt] written in the Record inside him, his Spirit Treasure Sublime Body alone was enough to let him disregard these rare temptations of the world.
Immediately before Tao Qian could speak, the entire mountain erupted with noisy immortal music.
"Here he is, here he is, Sister Yunrong's beloved husband has come to the mountain, sisters, come and see."
"See him there, such a strong spirit, truly as the rumors say, he's an extraordinary True Master."
"His spiritual practice seems extremely strong, but I wonder what his character is like? Sister Yunrong is so kind; she must not be deceived by a ghost."
"Sisters, True Master Tao is a great man; do not play tricks on him."
"Lady Mei, you've been praising this Daoist ever since you came to the mountain, don't tell me you want to steal Sister Yunrong's husband?"
"I... I did not, don't talk nonsense."
"Eh? The Daoist resisted the sisters' Ten Thousand Immortals Heart Confusion Array; what do we do, do we make another move?"
"How is this possible? Any sister in the mountain, whether from the Mortal World or the Cultivation World, is a one in ten thousand fairy elf, even without using any seductive Magic Skills, just with their innate spirituality, they can enchant any descendant of the Magic Veins, overwhelming their divine souls, making rejection impossible, not to mention when the sisters gather together, the power is unquestionable."
"Right, that year the Taishang Dao's so-called Dao Master's true inheritor, the Daoist priest, also almost faltered when faced with the sisters, this Daoist looks young and inexperienced, yet he managed to resist too?"
...
Listening to all the commotion, coupled with the spiritual connection between Tao Qian and Yunrong, he immediately sensed upon entering the mountain: Yunrong was alright, this dear sister also knew everything was settled and was watching the excitement.
"A son-in-law visiting for the first time, getting teased is more than normal."
"But I, Master Tao, how could I be duped."
With a thought, Tao Qian's counterstrike came.
With a gentle smile, while casting to summon extraordinary sweet rain dew, he scattered Longevity Immortal Peaches all over Jade Ring Mountain.
At the same time, he declared loudly,
"Ladies, I hurried over upon hearing that my wife Yunrong's Dharma Body was unwell."
"Due to the haste of my journey, I have not prepared a generous gift, so I can only express my intentions for now."
"I hope you sisters could do me a favor by leading me to Yunrong."
As soon as he finished speaking, the multitude of Female Demon Fairies on the mountain couldn't react in time and were compelled to accept Tao Qian's kind gesture.
As for the peaches, needless to say, everyone in Spirit Treasure Ten Thousand Immortals finds them delicious.
And about the sweet rain, Tao Qian is now a Great Master of the Ultimate Happiness Realm and also possesses a Spirit Treasure Sublime Body. The sweet rain he induced using the Sweet Rain Skill is an exceptional nourishment for Grass and Wood Demons.
In no time at all, melodious celestial music resonated throughout Jade Ring Mountain.
The fairies who had initially planned to tease Tao Qian changed their stance in just a few moments.
However, the change was somewhat excessive.
The next moment, hundreds of Female Demon Fairies, who previously thought of "fishing" Tao Qian over to embarrass him, came out from all over, laughing and crowding around him joyously.
Among them was a delicate and beautiful woman who evoked pity, the very Lady Mei that Tao Qian had rescued in Demon City years ago.
Back then, she was left with but a Weak Soul, but now it seemed she not only restored her foundation but also her Cultivation Power.
As Yunrong had said, Jade Ring Mountain was indeed the most suitable place for beings like her to cultivate.
Lady Mei stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Master Tao, Lady Mei..."
Before she could finish, hundreds of fairy silhouettes surged towards them.
A torrent of compliments erupted, seemingly without cost:
"Such tasty peaches, such sweet, sweet rain, Master Tao as our brother-in-law, this sister approves."
"No wonder Lady Mei always says the Master is excellent; the brother-in-law is indeed wonderful."
"Wow, Sister Yunrong actually brought back such a Dao Master who reached transcendence. Not only are the peaches delicious and life-extending, but the sweet rain from the Immortal Spring is incredibly sweet as well, enhancing my Dao practice. Such a good brother-in-law, this sister likes him, too."
"Such great Divine Power and technique in our brother-in-law."
"It's said that the brother-in-law's Daoist Field is located on Ascending Immortal Island in the Penglai Sea, filled with Immortal Peach Trees. On the day he and Yunrong have their grand wedding, we certainly must impose a bit."
...
More than just these praises came hundreds of Female Demon Fairies.
For a time, Tao Qian found himself surrounded by flowers, unsure of his own position.
Before Tao Qian began casting, he intended to win over his wife's sisters a bit, but he did not expect to give too many benefits, making the sisters overly enthusiastic.
Though he had once experienced the beauty of Daughter Country, a brief comparison made him realize: this is the real Daughter Country, and moreover, a Fairyland.
As Tao Qian was feeling troubled, suddenly, a more mature celestial tune came through:
"Enough with the commotion, don't irritate Sister Yunrong, or you'll rue it."
Following these words, Tao Qian saw a beautiful woman dressed in a multicolored skirt and a light, embroidered top, her countenance gentle and coquettish, with a bright, charming smile, holding a branch still wet with sweet rain dew.
She parted the crowd of fairies, approached Tao Qian, and, with a smiling face, performed a courteous gesture:
"Jade Ring Mountain rarely receives a guest like Qian Xiu, and the sisters are terribly spoiled by Grandmother, plus with you being Sister Yunrong's husband, the festivities are unavoidable."
"My name is Yunyan, a sister of similar status to Yunrong. Grandmother is traveling far for a feast, and I temporarily take over the chief management of Jade Ring Mountain."
"Lord Haotian has already mentioned that the brother-in-law had just slain an Alchemist Demon in the Outer Realm and hurried back to Jade Ring Mountain, showing deep affection for Yunrong, making any further efforts by the sisters unnecessary."
"Brother-in-law, please follow me; Yunrong is resting and nourishing her pregnancy in her Kitten Palace."
"If she waits much longer, she might come to fetch you herself."
Tao Qian did not need his Spiritual Resonance Eye to recognize that Sister Yunyan was likely an apricot fairy.
Her authority in the mountain was evidently very high. As soon as she finished speaking, the surrounding fairies stopped teasing and playing.
Swiftly, they all led Tao Qian towards the palace and Cave Mansion up the mountain.
