What is an immortal?

Chapter 516: Sensation


"Lord Wan is quick-witted, but I must also credit Alliance Leader Ni for lending me this Hundred Transforming Talisman, or else I wouldn't have been able to deceive the eyes of Fellow Daoists from Fusang Island," Jia Sifang said as he expelled a white jade talisman and shot a glance at Ni Mu.

"Alliance Leader Ni? Are you the Alliance Hierarch Ni Mu from the Dawn Alliance?" Wan Tianren looked toward Ni Mu.

"He is not only the Alliance Hierarch of the Dawn Alliance but also the Heavenly Puppet Venerable of the Wuyue Sect, in charge of overseeing all affairs of the Wuyue Sect in the East Sea," Jia Sifang said with a smile, introducing him before Ni Mu could speak.

As soon as these words were spoken, they were like a bolt from the blue, and everyone's expressions changed drastically.

The resurgence of the Wuyue Sect, though the strife was still confined to the Black Wind Desert north of the Central Plains, had already shaken the East Sea.

Wan Tianren revealed the emergence of the Three Immortal Island to promote the entrance of Core Formation talents from various islands into the secret realm, thereby activating the teleportation array within; one reason being to swiftly enhance their strength to face the major changes due to the emergence of the Wuyue Sect.

Yet, none of them had expected a Venerable of the Wuyue Sect to appear before them.

"Jia Sifang, you have betrayed and forsaken your faith, revealing the identity of the Alliance Hierarch!" Wu Yuezhi roared in shock and anger.

The reaction of the beautiful female cultivator was similar; her gaze toward Jia Sifang flashed with a hint of murderous intent, but Ni Mu remained calm, as if the person Jia Sifang was talking about was not him.

"Brother Ni has become quite composed nowadays, aren't you angry that I've revealed your identity to others?" A hint of surprise flickered in Jia Sifang's eyes as he chuckled.

"Why should I be angry? The agreement between Brother Jia and myself was to cooperate without stipulating that our identities must remain secret. Do not be impolite toward Brother Jia," Ni Mu stated, his expression placid as ever, finally giving Wu Yuezhi and the beautiful young lady a glance.

"Brother Ni has indeed come a long way; truly, 'a day apart seems three autumns.' We should all look at you in a new light," Jia Sifang laughed heartily.

"Brother Jia flatters me. Let's not waste time on idle chat; Yuan Wuji, the elder brother, should have already prepared by now and might have already entered Three Immortal Island. We should hasten our actions," Ni Mu stated.

Jia Sifang's expression stiffened. He had deliberately exposed Ni Mu's identity, hoping to shift Wan Tianren and others' attention towards Ni Mu. Unexpectedly, Ni Mu turned the strategy back on him by revealing his hidden gambit.

"Yuan Wuji!" Wan Tianren's pupils contracted.

If there was someone in the East Sea that he genuinely dreaded, aside from the red-robed middle-aged man beside him, it would be Yuan Wuji, the Alliance Hierarch of the Tide-rider Alliance.

The two had once clashed, ending in a draw. Wan Tianren had not used his trump card at the time, but Yuan Wuji clearly also held back.

"Lord Wan, now that everything is out in the open, we would also like to visit Three Immortal Island. May we accompany you?" Ni Mu asked with a bow.

"Exactly, if you gentlemen do not agree, then we part ways and destroy this ancient teleportation array, so no one can go!" Jia Sifang stated, his expression now composed.

Wan Tianren's face turned sour, and the other three island masters also looked displeased, only the red-robed middle-aged man remained silent, seemingly unconcerned about the struggles of the few.

"It seems you gentlemen have agreed, then thank you," Ni Mu said with a smile, lifting his hand slightly.

The barrier imprisoning Wan Tianren and the others shrank by half, pushing the five people towards the array, leaving an empty space within the teleportation array.

Ni Mu stepped into the array, seemingly unworried that Wan Tianren and the others would lash out in fury.

Wu Yuezhi and the beautiful young lady followed closely behind; Jia Sifang was the last to enter.

Ni Mu flipped his hand and pulled out a silver jade talisman, crushing it forcefully.

The prohibition runes above the heads of Wan Tianren and others halved in size, significantly reducing the imprisoning force as the ancient teleportation array's transmission power was restored.

A beam of silver light shot out from the shattered talisman, striking the array.

The dazzling silver light erupted, and the figures within the array vanished in a flicker.

The Yin Yang Mother and Child Array Diagram within the ancient teleportation array rapidly dissipated, on the verge of collapse.

Suddenly, a ripple undulated through the nearby void as a silver small beast appeared out of nowhere and descended in front of the ancient teleportation array, clearly being Xi Ying's spiritual beast, Guoguo.

Guoguo showed no signs of life, its body semi-transparent, seeming almost like an illusion, and it opened its mouth to exhale.

A silver orb flew out from its mouth, identical to the treasure bead Xi Ying had thrown into the Three Immortal Hall teleportation array.

The silver orb transformed into a stream of silver light, wrapping around the Yin Yang Mother and Child Array Diagram, the array diagram that was about to collapse suddenly halted, and quickly regained stability and brightness.

Guoguo opened its mouth again, emitting eight sharp white beams of light that flashed and disappeared into eight silver stone pillars.

With a 'boom' sound, the eight pillars exploded, releasing the space power stored within, which merged into the ancient teleportation array.

The entire teleportation array shook violently, and the surging silver light around it immediately became chaotic.

The silver light within the Yin Yang Mother and Child Array Diagram flowed quickly, driven by the array diagram, affecting the turbulent silver light within the ancient teleportation array, rapidly consolidating into a silver light gate several meters high within a few breaths.

But then, the light on the silver gate surged, and a huge silver light pillar burst forth, penetrating the seal of the Void Temple, shooting straight up into the high sky, and merging into the clouds above.

The silver light pillar, like a pillar reaching into the heavens, emitted a tremendous roar, exceptionally eye-catching.

At this moment, nearly everyone on Fusang Island had put down what they were doing to stare at this shocking phenomenon, unsure of what had happened.

Just then, silver spirit light surged beside the pillar once more, condensing into a line of immense text: "This teleportation array leads to the Three Immortals Island; time is limited, take heed!"

Inside the Void Temple, Guoguo dispersed the silver light from around its mouth, its gaze flickering slightly, clearly very satisfied with its own masterpiece.

After completing the task its master had assigned, it leapt up and dove into the silver light gate, disappearing without a trace.

Seeing the huge characters next to the silver light pillar, the entire Fusang Island, along with the surrounding seas, began to seethe.

Anyone from the East Sea knew of the secret realm of the Three Immortals Island, and now a teleportation array leading there had appeared!

"What's going on? Isn't the island master at the Void Temple? Why has it turned out like this? Quickly send someone to check!" In a large building within Fusang City, Xu Fu's complexion turned ashen as he stood up abruptly.

Standing next to him were three Nascent Soul cultivators, seemingly discussing matters. Hearing this, two of the Nascent Soul cultivators hastily rushed out, heading toward the Void Temple.

"Deputy Island Master, should we destroy these huge characters?" asked the remaining Nascent Soul cultivator, a round-faced female cultivator.

"By now, likely everyone in the city has seen these characters. Acting now to destroy them would only make more people believe those words are true!" Xu Fu chided sternly.

The round-faced female cultivator meekly agreed, not daring to speak further.

"Now, immediately mobilize all available forces on the island to the Void Temple. We must block everyone, not letting them get close to the great hall!" Xu Fu quickly regained his composure and instructed sternly.

The round-faced female cultivator acknowledged and swiftly exited.

...

Above the vessels of the Snake-man Clan, Merfolk, and Water Ape Clan outside the city, White Scale Master, Queen Ming Kong, and a burly man from the Water Ape Clan stood in space, looking toward that line of characters.

"The two of you, do you believe these words?" White Scale Master asked, looking toward Queen Ming Kong and the burly man.

"During previous Immortal Fruit Conferences, Wan Tianren would always show his face once or twice, but this time, not only has he not appeared, when we inquired about him, the people of Fusang Island were evasive. Now it seems, Wan Tianren was likely plotting to open the transmission array to the Three Immortals Island. These words are very likely true." Queen Ming Kong said.

"Fellow Daoist Ming Kong's words make sense, but such crucial information would surely be tightly controlled by Fusang Island. How could it leak like this, causing such a shocking phenomenon, unless… there is internal strife on Fusang Island?" White Scale Master speculated.

"Whoever caused it, since it concerns the Three Immortals Island, we cannot sit idly by. Let's go and see!" The burly man could hardly wait and zipped out flying.

White Scale Master, greedy by nature, had long intended to go there and explore, and in talking with Queen Ming Kong and the burly man, was simply encouraging others to go first.

Seeing the burly man take the bait, he secretly rejoiced and immediately followed.

Queen Ming Kong had long seen through White Scale Master's intentions, disdained him in her heart, but after a brief contemplation, she instructed a steward of the Merfolk, and also transformed into a streak of blue light, chasing after them.

Seeing this scene, the Nascent Soul cultivators from other first-class islands, harboring thoughts not dissimilar to those of White Scale Master and the others, also flew toward the source of the silver light pillar.

Inside Fusang City, Nascent Soul cultivators from second-class islands, as well as numerous Loose Cultivators, seeing the characters hanging in mid-air, naturally had their interests piqued.

As the first-class island's Nascent Soul cultivators did not conceal their tracks, others saw this and followed suit.

In no time, numerous cultivators from all directions congregated, rushing toward the Void Temple.

With the secret of the Three Immortals Island ahead, no one heeded Fusang Island's no-fly orders.

In the residence on Red Ganoderma Island, Yan Sijing and Yan Siyun stood in the courtyard, looking toward the sky phenomena.

"The Three Immortals Island has actually emerged. How could it be such a coincidence, happening just as Fellow Daoist Yuan and the others are participating in the trial in the secret realm? Could this be related to them?" Yan Sijing wondered.

"Quite likely. My intuition tells me that this matter is closely related to Fellow Daoist Yuan and Fellow Daoist Xi. Now that they are in the secret realm, we need to figure out a way to inform them of the situation outside." Yan Siyun said.

"How do we notify them? They're in the secret realm, means like communication talismans won't work." Yan Sijing frowned slightly.

"Let's inform Lord Nether Moon God. Fellow Daoist Yuan is the Divine Envoy of the Nether Moon God, and Lord Nether Moon God can definitely contact him. Perhaps Lord Nether Moon God is also paying attention to the situation in the secret realm now." Yan Siyun suggested.

...

In Fusang City, within a secret room of the Golden Feather Auction House, two Nascent Soul cultivators sat opposite each other, drinking tea. One, a tall man in a blue robe with a broad face, was the Qiong Hai Island Master who had previously appeared at the Golden Feather Auction House.

The person opposite him, wearing a jade crown and having a youthful and handsome appearance, was none other than Ancestor Ming Quan of Chang Chun Temple, who had previously pursued Yuan Ming.

"Fellow Daoist Ming Quan, leave this matter to me. Although Qiong Hai Island has only recently emerged, our island has a thriving trade and close relations with the islands of the East Sea. A mere Core Formation Stage cultivator, even if he hides in a mouse hole once he's in the East Sea, I'll be able to find him," Qiong Hai Island Master said confidently with a smile.

"Thank you then, Fellow Daoist Wei. Please notify me immediately once Yuan Ming is found," Ancestor Ming Quan also responded with a smile.
