Upon Misty Peak.
Ye Junlin returned to this familiar place, a sense of emotion welling up within him.
He released his divine sense, discovering that each cave dwelling had been completely renewed, without a trace of dust or cobwebs. The surrounding flowers and plants were also well-tended. Overall, everything appeared to be in perfect order, unlike a place that had been uninhabited for a long time.
"Junior Brother Ye, during the time you were away, the Sect Leader would regularly instruct the disciples to clean up, just waiting for you to return and live here," the Peak Lord of Hidden Sword Peak said with a smile.
Xu Younian said seriously, "That is our Xuan Tian Sect's Elder Ye! Even if he is not here, the place where he used to live must be well maintained! This concerns the reputation of our sect!"
"You have put in the effort." Ye Junlin nodded in satisfaction.
See, this is the embodiment of high emotional intelligence!
Who would have thought that the Peak Lord of Heavenly Fragrance Peak would cover her mouth and giggle, teasing him:
"Elder Ye, you don't know, but this is actually just one of the Sect Leader's purposes."
"The second purpose is that if you don't come back in the future, we can show the place where you lived to every cultivator who comes here admiringly, and charge them a high visiting fee to subsidize the sect's income."
In the sky, there came the caw of a crow.
Ye Junlin's forehead was covered with black lines as he looked speechlessly at Xu Younian.
Worthy of being the material of a Sect Leader, you have mastered this wave of celebrity effect!
Xu Younian was a little guilty and said awkwardly, "Well, I think it's good to kill two birds with one stone."
As he spoke, he looked resentfully at the Peak Lord of Heavenly Fragrance Peak, depressed, "Junior Sister, why did you say this…"
"Blame me~" The Peak Lord of Heavenly Fragrance Peak rolled her eyes, annoyed.
Ye Junlin looked around and sighed, "It's been a long time since I had an open-air barbecue with everyone. How about we get some?"
"Go for it! I have enough wine here!" The Peak Lord of Hidden Sword Peak said excitedly.
"Xiao Hong, go arrange it." Ye Junlin turned around and instructed.
Hong Qianye cupped her hands respectfully and solemnly said, "Yes, Master!"
"Hehe, this battle was really tiring. Being able to grill some skewers and drink some wine can also help us relax," Li Wujie said with a smile.
Afterwards, they began to prepare the ingredients, set up the grill, lit the charcoal, and put meat skewers, vegetable skewers, and the like on the grill after brushing them with oil, sprinkling various seasonings while grilling.
Soon, a burst of fragrance wafted out, making people's index fingers twitch and their mouths water.
At this time.
From Long Aotian's perspective, that beautiful red-clothed woman was skillfully flipping the skewers, precisely controlling the heat.
He couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect Qianye to have this side in private, she's really capable!"
Long Aotian felt that he also had to show off, so he took the initiative to walk over and said seriously:
"Qianye, let me do it, don't tire yourself out."
Hong Qianye raised her eyebrows, dissatisfied, "Are you looking down on me? Please go away, don't bother me!"
Originally, she thought that she wouldn't have to see Long Aotian again after returning to the Xuan Tian Sect, but she didn't expect her master to bring him along as well, which made Hong Qianye only able to accept it helplessly, trying to avoid him as much as possible.
As a result, while she was focused on grilling the skewers, Long Aotian was trying to make his presence known in front of her again, which made it impossible for Hong Qianye not to be angry.
Seeing the red-clothed woman's reaction, Long Aotian was stunned.
If it were someone else, he would definitely flare up on the spot, but the target was Hong Qianye, which led Long Aotian not only not feeling annoyed, but instead feeling that it had a different kind of charm…
Very characteristic!
Worthy of being the fairy I have taken a fancy to!
Just as Long Aotian was wondering how to respond, Ye Junlin came from behind and patted him on the shoulder, smiling, "Little Long, come with me."
"Oh, okay."
Long Aotian quickly followed behind Ye Junlin, although he didn't ask, he was still very puzzled in his heart.
Where exactly is Alliance Leader Ye taking me?
Walking along, what came into view was an elegant courtyard, with winding paths and secluded scenery.
"Come in quickly, I have something good to show you." Ye Junlin lifted the bead curtain and walked into the house, a mysterious smile on his face.
Seeing this.
Long Aotian was struck by lightning. With his different thought circuits, he immediately associated it with something.
His back turned cold, he swallowed hard, and said in a trembling voice:
"Alliance Leader Ye, you are the strongest person in the world, the person Long admires the most, but one thing is one thing, if you want to do something to me, even if I can't beat you, I will still resist…"
After all, this quiet atmosphere, coupled with this suggestive smile, made it difficult for Long Aotian not to feel that the silver-haired youth in front of him had some strange ideas about him.
Hearing this, Ye Junlin's smile instantly disappeared, and he said with a dark face, "What the hell are you thinking? Do I look like that kind of person?"
Vomit.
You can even think crookedly?
"I'm really sorry."
Long Aotian lowered his head, feeling very ashamed, but more than that, he secretly rejoiced.
"Hurry up, don't dawdle."
Ye Junlin urged impatiently.
"Yes!"
With no more concerns, Long Aotian quickly followed behind.
Inside the house, besides a desk, there were also two futons, the layout was very simple.
"Hmm?" Long Aotian noticed that on the desk, there was a miniature island similar to a potted plant.
He subconsciously used his divine sense to explore, but it was isolated by some kind of power, which made him feel uneasy and his heart shivered.
"This is the Fallen Immortal Island." Ye Junlin introduced.
"Fallen Immortal Island?!"
Hearing these three words, Long Aotian suddenly thought of a famous legendary figure in the ancient Kunlun Realm, Liu Huangshu!
At that time, the outside world called him the Island Owner of Fallen Immortal Island, or respectfully called him Supreme Elder Liu!
Just because this person's formation attainments were the highest, he was a well-deserved Supreme Elder of Formation!
When the Kunlun Realm was facing life and death, it was this big shot who used the formation to turn the tide at the last moment, saving the world, which can be said to be invincible and meritorious.
In terms of fame, the Island Owner of Fallen Immortal Island, Liu Huangshu, was second only to the Four Absolutes in the ancient Kunlun Realm.
Everyone knew it, everyone knew it!
Now, when Long Aotian saw that the Fallen Immortal Island of that Supreme Elder Liu actually appeared in Ye Junlin's residence, he felt extremely shocked and unbelievable.
What is the situation?
Why is the Fallen Immortal Island, such an important supreme treasure, here?
"Alliance Leader Ye, could it be that you are very familiar with that Supreme Elder Liu?" Long Aotian asked cautiously.
Ye Junlin pondered slightly. He had already inherited the Fallen Immortal Island and had chatted with the divine sense left by that guy, so he must be very familiar with him.
"Yes, very familiar!"
Getting the answer.
Long Aotian's eyes changed again and again, and his heart became more and more awe-inspiring.
Being able to be very familiar with a big shot like Supreme Elder Liu, Alliance Leader Ye is indeed a top figure from the ancient times.
It seems that the rumors about Emperor Ye Tian are 100% true and reliable!
"Don't be stunned, come in with me."
Ye Junlin's figure flashed and entered the Fallen Immortal Island.
Long Aotian was very excited. He had long heard of the extraordinary nature of Fallen Immortal Island. Being able to go inside and visit today was simply a rare opportunity. Fallen Immortal Island.
Due to the relaxation of the laws of heaven and earth, the natives living here have basically returned to their former realms.
When Ye Junlin descended upon this small world again, he discovered earth-shattering changes on the island.
Countless ancient plants seemed to have undergone transformation, and even an ordinary-looking vine could kill a Heavenly Immortal.
The dense jungle was full of dangers, and occasionally there was a rustling sound, which was the passing of some powerful beast-like creature, with vigorous energy, an ancient remnant capable of fighting Immortal Kings.
Ye Junlin possessed absolute control over Fallen Immortal Island, not only could he change the island's terrain at will, but he could also sense the creatures living here, their numbers, and their cultivation levels.
Then, through his authority, he explored a little, and soon he had a thorough understanding of the island's situation.
Ye Junlin was a little surprised.
Because there were actually dozens of ethnic groups on the island, and the leader of each ethnic group was in the realm of Immortal Emperor!
In addition, there were a massive number of Immortal King-level creatures staying in their respective territories, without interfering with each other.
Sure enough, what I saw before was just the tip of the iceberg!
From this, it can be inferred that the group of creatures in the courtyard are the core of the overall combat power of the entire Fallen Immortal Island!
Not to mention Immortal Emperors, there may even be Immortal Venerables and even Immortal Emperors inside, but they haven't recovered to their former cultivation levels due to the current environment of heaven and earth.
Thinking of this, Ye Junlin secretly sighed, "That guy surnamed Liu really has a grand plan."
The nature of Fallen Immortal Island is equivalent to a top-notch immortal cultivation force, and the creatures inside were carefully selected back then, only loyal to the current island owner.
And Liu Huangshu deliberately left Fallen Immortal Island to future generations, in fact, to leave a large number of immortal Dao experts to the Kunlun Realm, in case foreign enemies invade in the future, they can be called upon to resist at any time.
It's simply planning ahead and with good intentions!
"This is the inside of Fallen Immortal Island..."
Long Aotian looked around, very surprised.
Who could imagine that this thing that looks like a bonsai from the outside actually compresses a world comparable to the area of a large planet inside!
It should be known that even the legendary Immortal Emperor can hardly achieve such a delicate level, and only when the attainments in formations reach the Supreme level can such a grand spatial scale be created!
Suddenly.
A majestic questioning voice came from the distance, "Where did you two come from, how dare you trespass into this Emperor's territory!"
The sound was like a muffled thunder, shaking people's hearts.
Boom, a one-legged ox with a cyan body landed heavily in front of them, emitting a sun-like light, and two horns filled with terrifying lightning.
The aura was unprecedentedly powerful, a top-tier Immortal Emperor!
"Kui Ox Clan." Long Aotian raised his eyebrows, unexpectedly there are Kui Ox Clan experts living on this island?
The creatures of this race are not only thick-skinned, but also natural controllers of thunder and lightning, able to unleash terrifying lethality.
"Hehe, are you talking to me?" Ye Junlin snapped his fingers.
The Kui Ox was just about to get angry, but his whole body shook, and he was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, with an unbelievable look in his eyes.
Suddenly, his whole body shone, turning into a middle-aged man with ox horns on his head and wearing a blue robe, kneeling on the ground in a panic, and said in a trembling voice:
"Little Lei Qianjue, greets the Island Master!"
Lei Qianjue's heart was like a stormy sea, shocked by the identity of this silver-haired youth.
He had long heard that Fallen Immortal Island had changed hands, but he had never seen what the new Island Master looked like.
Now, Ye Junlin snapped his fingers, activating the special imprint in his bloodline, which made Lei Qianjue understand what kind of person was standing in front of him.
"Island Master..." Long Aotian heard this title and realized that Ye Junlin had another illustrious identity.
To this, his heart was full of envy.
After all, whoever completely controls Fallen Immortal Island is equivalent to possessing a top-notch force that can be carried around at any time.
Who in this world wouldn't want such a great thing?
Ye Junlin smiled and said, "I thought you ox wouldn't even put the Island Master in your eyes."
Hearing this, Lei Qianjue was so frightened that cold sweat flowed down, "It's because this little one was blind, I hope the Island Master will forgive me!"
"Forget it, pay attention next time." Ye Junlin waved his hand.
"Thank you, Island Master, for your generosity!"
Lei Qianjue kowtowed excitedly, and his tense heartstrings relaxed.
As the Island Master of Fallen Immortal Island, he has the power of life and death over all the creatures on the island.
This is the imprint that the first Island Master, Liu Huangshu, imprinted in their bloodlines.
If a newcomer takes over the position of Island Master, this authority will pass into his hands.
"Little Long, let's go."
Ye Junlin took Long Aotian into the sky and flew in another direction.
"Scared me to death," looking at the departing figure, Lei Qianjue collapsed to the ground with lingering fear, wishing he could slap himself twice.
Subsequently.
The two came to a courtyard.
This courtyard, located on the hilltop, seems ordinary, but it is actually the core of the entire Fallen Immortal Island.
The creatures inside are the strongest combat power on the island!
When Ye Junlin came to the front of the courtyard again, he could clearly feel that there was a special control power over this courtyard.
It was no longer like before, an existence independent of authority.
It seems that it is because his cultivation level has been raised to Immortal Venerable.
Pushing open the door, Ye Junlin took the lead and stepped in.
When they saw this silver-haired youth, the creatures in the courtyard instantly became active, especially the group of little native chickens, who excitedly shouted, "The Island Master is back! The Island Master is back!"
"This old woman congratulates Island Master Ye on his return!" The old hen flapped her wings and landed in front of him, respectfully lowering her chicken head.
Seeing this scene.
Ye Junlin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and joked:
"I thought you guys wanted to continue pretending, why are you all willing to call me Island Master now?"
Hearing this.
The old hen said somewhat awkwardly: "Island Master Ye, that's because your previous cultivation level was not enough, but as long as you reach the authority, we will fully assist you, this is our duty!"
"Son, you're so right, that's what I think too!" The little donkey said flatteringly.
Ye Junlin glanced at the little donkey, his smile playful: "You guy, I heard that you went missing after running to the Central Domain, why are you still thinking about coming back?"
The little donkey secretly thought it was bad, and quickly explained: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, I was just curious and wanted to look around, but later I started to think that no matter how good the outside world is, it can't compare to this courtyard, this is my home, so I came back immediately."
"Island Master Ye, don't believe it, this stupid donkey was beaten and scared outside, that's why he wanted to come back and stay here!" The old hen unceremoniously exposed the other party.
The little donkey exploded directly and shouted angrily: "You old chicken, don't slander me!"
"It was clearly that guy who was beaten and scared by me, kneeling on the ground begging me to leave, saying that the Central Domain's temple was too small to accommodate my great Buddha, and I thought so too, so I returned to this courtyard."
Ye Junlin shook his head, too lazy to care about this matter, he came here for another purpose.
"Little Long, come in."
"Yes, Alliance Master Ye!"
Long Aotian walked into the courtyard with a surprised expression, because he could feel that when entering this courtyard, his whole body's cultivation had a sign of being suppressed, as if he had become an ordinary person.
This courtyard is so terrifying!
As a result, when Long Aotian came in, he saw the little donkey next to the stable at a glance, and the little donkey also saw this familiar visitor, and was stunned on the spot.
The two sides stared at each other.
An awkward atmosphere filled the air. Huh? It's you!" Long Aotian's face darkened. No wonder the voice in the courtyard sounded familiar just now.
What do you mean I was beaten to my knees begging for mercy? You really know how to gild your donkey face!
Recalling the terror of this dragon powerhouse, the little donkey felt a burst of palpitations.
A tenth-cycle Immortal Wheel Immortal Emperor-level being, even it couldn't hope to reach that level!
Unless it recovered to its peak cultivation, it really couldn't defeat the opponent in the Immortal Emperor realm.
The most outrageous thing was that it happened to run into him while it was bragging.
What a coincidence!
How embarrassing!
"Wait, why should I be afraid of him in this courtyard?"
The little donkey suddenly reacted, grinning and revealing a rather arrogant smile.
"Junior, how dare you talk to Grandpa Donkey like that? Believe it or not, I'll show you some color?!"
Seeing this.
Long Aotian simply couldn't believe it. This greedy, cowardly donkey had actually become tough?
Before, he had beaten it to its knees begging for mercy, crying bitterly, and then it immediately ran away when he wasn't paying attention.
It ran.
He chased.
Unexpectedly, the opponent's escape skills were top-notch, and even a powerhouse of his level lost track of it.
Now, seeing this guy again, not only was he not afraid, but he also spoke wildly to him. Long Aotian felt very annoyed by this.
"Bastard, I think your cheap donkey hide is itching!"
Long Aotian rushed over angrily, swinging his fist to smash at the little donkey. As a result, the little donkey showed disdain, raised its donkey hoof, and kicked out fiercely.
"Ugh!"
Long Aotian took a direct hit to the abdomen, his face pained as he retreated several steps, almost falling to the ground.
At this time, he was both shocked and angry, and at the same time, he also had a sense of panic in his heart. His power couldn't be used at all.
In this courtyard, he was just an ordinary person!
"Er'er'er, dumbfounded, right? Here is Grandpa Donkey's home field. You outsider still want to turn the world upside down?"
Succeeding with one strike, the little donkey's confidence greatly increased, and it had a smug, petty person's feeling of success.
"Damn it, if you have the guts, come out and fight me!" Long Aotian hurriedly ran out of the courtyard, standing outside and shouting angrily.
"Come, come, come."
The little donkey swayed out of the gate, then quickly jumped back in, then jumped out again, saying with a cheap look: "Eh, I'm out, eh, I'm back in, eh, I'm out again, eh, I'm back in..."
It repeatedly jumped back and forth, playing for thrills!
"Ah..." Long Aotian's eyes were red, so angry that smoke came out of his orifices, and his whole body was trembling.
"You should still go out." Even Ye Junlin couldn't stand the little donkey's cheap appearance, and directly kicked it out of the door, and then thoughtfully closed the courtyard door.
The little donkey, kicked out of the gate, was still in a daze.
It stiffly turned its head to look at the closed gate, and then stiffly turned its head to look at Long Aotian, who was full of anger in front of it.
In its heart, ten thousand alpacas passed by.
"That, that was a joke just now. You are so tall and handsome, I think you won't mind, right?"
"Heh heh, what do you say?!"
Long Aotian's smile gradually became perverted, vowing to thoroughly ravage this ignorant donkey.
"Eh, you, don't come over here, Island Lord, save me!!!"
The door was knocked rapidly with a series of 'bang, bang, bang' sounds, and then fell into silence. It was hard to imagine what kind of beating the little donkey would suffer.
Inside the courtyard.
Ye Junlin was chatting with the other creatures, learning more about the courtyard's information.
"As you can see, we are all guardians, the strongest combat power reserved by the entire Fallen Immortal Island."
The old hen said seriously: "But due to the restrictions of the law, our cultivation can't be fully restored yet, and we have to get Miss Liu's consent to go out."
"Miss Liu?"
Ye Junlin raised his eyebrows.
Who is this Miss Liu? Does she have such a high status in the courtyard?
"It's me."
The next second, the willow tree in the corner transmitted a very ethereal female voice, with a power that calmed people's minds.
"In other words, you are the strongest guardian in the entire courtyard." Looking at the familiar willow tree, Ye Junlin felt a little surprised.
Because when he was in the courtyard, the willow tree didn't move at all, behaving silently, so he habitually ignored it.
"Island Lord Ye, I am really surprised by your current cultivation. This speed of breakthrough is unprecedented."
"Moreover, you can ignore the laws of heaven and earth and reach the Immortal Venerable realm, which further proves that you are the legendary Favored One of Heaven. No wonder you can obtain the inheritance of Fallen Immortal Island and become the second Island Lord."
When saying this, the willow tree's tone could hardly remain calm.
"Favored One of Heaven?"
Ye Junlin's expression was strange, feeling that the other party must have misunderstood something.
But it didn't matter, anyway, he wouldn't explain.
"Island Lord Ye, if you reach the Immortal Emperor realm in the future, you will be able to unlock all the permissions of Fallen Immortal Island and truly exert the strongest power of this space treasure."
Then, the willow tree revealed a secret.
"Oh?"
Ye Junlin became interested. This thing still had new ways to play?
Cool, cool, looking forward to it!
Afterwards, he thought of something, looked at the group of golden carp in the pond, and said meaningfully: "If I guessed correctly, you are a branch of the Golden Dragon Clan who were demoted from the Golden Dragon Clan back then!"
Hearing this.
The carp spitting bubbles on the surface of the pond suddenly collectively stopped spitting bubbles, their eyes wide open, looking at Ye Junlin in disbelief.
"Alas, I didn't expect that even Island Lord Ye would know about this embarrassing thing."
An old carp with a long beard, swimming in the front, sighed:
"That's right, back then, because my daughter made a big mistake, the Golden Dragon Clan lost face, which led to our lineage being expelled. Later, Supreme Elder Liu took action to protect us, and that's how we were able to continue to this day."
This is the former Grand Elder of the Golden Dragon Clan.
His daughter is Long Aotian's birth mother!
Ye Junlin nodded, "Sure enough, that's the case, you wait a moment."
Immediately, he opened the courtyard door, and a little donkey, whose face was almost disfigured from the beating, rushed in howling and fell to the ground, panting heavily.
"Finally, finally survived..."
The little donkey said with tears streaming down its face.
"Hmph, consider yourself lucky!" Long Aotian snorted coldly.
If his vitality hadn't been severely damaged and his strength could only be half-exerted, the other party's end would definitely have been even more miserable.
"Giggle giggle, you stupid donkey got your just desserts. This is the price you pay for talking big." The old hen was in a good mood, ridiculing.
"You old chicken, sooner or later you'll be caught and used to make soup!" The little donkey said indignantly.
As soon as the words were spoken, it was pecked hard, causing it to howl in pain on the ground.
Watching this farce, Ye Junlin said unhappily: "Alright, be quiet."
The Island Lord spoke, and the courtyard suddenly became silent.
"Little Long, come here, see if they recognize you," Ye Junlin beckoned Long Aotian to come in, pointing to the pond over there.
Long Aotian was a little puzzled, but he still came to the front of the pond, looking at a large group of golden carp, and in an instant, he was struck by lightning, his mind buzzing.
Because in his eyes, that wasn't a large group of golden carp, but a large group of five-clawed golden dragons soaring through the nine heavens!
It should be known that Long Aotian was very proud in his bones. The main reason was because he was a dragon.
He also knew deeply how high the status of the five-clawed golden dragon was in the dragon clan. That was a powerful clan known as the head of the dragon clan.
But he never expected that this seemingly ordinary pond was actually full of the most honorable five-clawed golden dragons!
Without a doubt, this scene subverted Long Aotian's understanding.
"Child, why is the bloodline in your body so familiar? You, you are probably my..."
The old carp at the head felt something, looked at Long Aotian in disbelief, and blurted out:
"Grandson!!!" Long Aotian: "?"
To be inexplicably scolded as a grandson by a fish, even if the other party's true form was a five-clawed golden dragon, he still felt offended.
"Old thing, who are you calling names?!" Long Aotian said with a dark face, reaching into the water and grabbing the old carp, holding it in front of him and questioning it.
"Great-great-great Grandfather!" The little carps were startled and exclaimed.
The old carp felt like it couldn't breathe, and said with difficulty, "I'm sorry, this old one misspoke, you are not this old one's grandson..."
"That's more like it."
Long Aotian's expression softened, and his grip loosened slightly.
"Strictly, strictly speaking, you are this old one's maternal grandson!"
"Huh?!"
Hearing this, veins popped out on Long Aotian's forehead, and a surge of anger rose in his heart, almost impossible to suppress.
Bang!
Without another word, he directly slammed the old carp in his hand onto the ground, and even added several kicks.
"Old thing, acting old and selling your age! Do you really think Long is easy to bully? You dare to take any advantage!"
"Ah..."
The poor old carp was trampled and screamed repeatedly, wailing on the ground.
The carps in the pond watched in stunned silence.
Ye Junlin was also stunned.
What a touching scene this was!
When a never-before-seen maternal grandson meets his maternal grandpa, he immediately uses practical actions to express his feelings.
So filial!
"Stop, stop, stop! Stop kicking! If you keep kicking, your dear maternal grandpa is going to breathe his last," Ye Junlin quickly called out to stop him.
Long Aotian originally wanted to jump up and add a few more kicks, but after hearing this, he was stunned on the spot.
Looking at the old carp convulsing and foaming at the mouth under his feet, his mind buzzed as if struck by lightning.
It, it's really my dear maternal grandpa?
"Oh, my son, my son, a dear maternal grandson beating his maternal grandpa upon their first meeting, it's simply outrageous!" Seizing the opportunity, the little donkey excitedly shouted, wanting to vent its anger.
Long Aotian ignored the little donkey, or rather, he didn't hear it at all, his full attention was on the old carp, his expression full of disbelief.
It, it's really my dear maternal grandpa?
"This old one never thought that at this age, I would suffer such a calamity, it is fate..." The old carp said weakly.
Long Aotian quickly held it in his hands, carefully feeling the blood connection between them.
Gradually, his hands began to tremble, beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, and his cheeks felt hot and painful.
This is too awkward...
"You, are you alright?" Long Aotian hesitated for a long time, and asked, forcing himself to speak.
The old carp said unhappily, "Good maternal grandson, does this old one look alright to you! Your heart is too cruel, you were really kicking to death just now!"
Hearing this, Long Aotian didn't know how to respond.
"Hmph!" Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and his attitude instantly changed 180 degrees, and he rudely threw the old carp back on the ground.
"Ouch ~"
The old carp was in so much pain that it was about to cry, "What are you doing?!"
It was truly heartbroken, its daughter had given her life, but gave birth to such a violent child.
When he gets ruthless, he doesn't even spare his own maternal grandpa!
Long Aotian said coldly, "Old thing, don't get any ideas, back then I was taken back to the Black Dragon Clan by my father, and I didn't have a single normal day, from childhood to adulthood I suffered all kinds of discrimination and suppression, and was often scolded as a little bastard, when I felt helpless, where were you as my maternal grandpa?"
"Later, when I rebelled against the Black Dragon Clan, your Golden Dragon Clan didn't express anything, and turned a blind eye to my existence."
"Because in your eyes, I, Long Aotian, am an anomaly!"
His low voice contained a cold ruthlessness, like a biting cold wind blowing through people's hearts.
It could be seen that Long Aotian suffered a lot in his childhood, and was ostracized and ridiculed in the Black Dragon Clan. In order to avoid being hurt, he completely closed off his heart.
Even after he grew up and rebelled against the Black Dragon Clan, venturing into the cultivation world, he was still a loner, with no friends.
Therefore, when he met his never-before-seen maternal grandpa, Long Aotian didn't feel any emotion in his heart, but rather was very unfamiliar.
The old carp was silent for a long time, sighed, "Child, this old one sympathizes with your experiences, but since this incident happened, this old one lost his most beloved daughter, not only did my status in the clan plummet, but the clansmen around me were also implicated and suffered criticism."
"Tell me, how much better do you think this double blow makes this old one feel?"
His tone contained self-blame and deep helplessness.
Long Aotian's attitude softened, and he said in a deep voice, "Then why are you staying here?"
The dignified and noble Golden Dragon lineage had actually been reduced to carps in a pond.
There must be an inside story.
The old carp sighed, "Due to the factional struggles in the clan, we were forced to move out of the ancestral land. We originally thought that with this old one's ability, I could lead the clansmen to live a good life in the outside world, but I didn't expect that this would become a luxury."
"Because we are the pure-blooded five-clawed golden dragons, those high and mighty Immortal Emperors have set their sights on us, wanting to divide us up and devour us."
"When we were at our wit's end, Supreme Elder Liu appeared and sheltered us, but the price was to sign a contract and stay in this courtyard as guardians, waiting for the future new island owner to dispose of us."
"After thinking it over, this old one decided to join the Fallen Immortal Island, after all, this was the best choice, which could both protect the clansmen and follow the future island owner to guard the Kunlun Realm."
"This is why we stayed here."
"Facts have proved that this may be the best arrangement of fate..."
After listening to these words.
Long Aotian's heart was filled with mixed feelings.
In this turmoil, his maternal grandpa had also suffered a lot.
The most wronged thing was that he was beaten up by him upon their first meeting. Thinking about it carefully, he really felt sorry.
Ye Junlin advised, "Little Long, your maternal grandpa is innocent, he has his own difficulties. Since you have met, you should communicate well with each other, don't be blinded by hatred, and end up regretting it for the rest of your life!"
Amidst the ups and downs of his thoughts.
Long Aotian took a deep breath and said with his head lowered, "I'm sorry, I was impulsive just now."
The old carp said weakly, "It's good that you can admit your mistakes, you are still a good child. How about this, you put this old one back in the pond first, and we can chat slowly..."
"Okay."
Long Aotian held up the old carp and solemnly put it back into the pond. The old carp, who was originally listless, returned to the water and quickly became lively again.
"Child, lean your head closer, Grandpa has something important to tell you."
"I'm listening," Although he still found it difficult to accept this identity, Long Aotian still reluctantly did so.
In the next second, water splashed everywhere, the old carp suddenly jumped out of the water, vigorously flicking its tail and slamming it hard on Long Aotian's face.
Pa pa pa ~
In just two seconds, Long Aotian felt as if he had been slapped a dozen times!
"Old thing, you played me!"
Long Aotian staggered back in embarrassment and fell to the ground. After reacting, he was immediately ashamed and angry, and cursed loudly.
Amidst the adoring gazes of the carps, the old carp regained its deep and steady appearance, its tone containing majesty:
"You bastard, you even dare to hit your own maternal grandpa, today this old one will teach you how to respect your elders!"
"Ah, I'm going to make you into grilled fish!"
Long Aotian flew into a rage, rushed to the pond and was about to grab the old carp.
He originally thought that it would be as smooth as before, but this time the other party became extraordinarily agile, and its nimble movements made him difficult to grasp.
"Hmph, incorrigible!"
Seizing the opportunity, the old carp jumped out of the water again, flicking its tail and frantically slapping it on Long Aotian's face.
Pa pa pa pa pa...
The sound was crisp and melodious, and rhythmic.
Long Aotian's cheeks were burning with pain, his eyes were seeing stars, he didn't even see the shadow clearly, and he was beaten with a slap.
"Hehe, this old one hasn't exercised my muscles and bones in a long time, I really have to thank you for sending this opportunity."
The old carp returned to the surface of the water, squinting, "Fighting with this old one, you kid is still too tender!"
As the saying goes, ginger is still old and spicy.
Long Aotian never thought that he would be caught off guard at the end.
"Uh,"
Seeing this absurd scene, the corners of Ye Junlin's mouth twitched a few times.
No wonder they are a family, none of them are easy to deal with.
Moreover, this is very different from the family recognition scene he imagined.
The whole process had no tears, it was all points for mockery!
"Damn it..."
Long Aotian covered his painful cheeks, trembling with anger. He was actually taught a lesson by a fish.
"The young beat the old, the old beat the young, your Dragon Clan's customs are really good, hahaha..." The little donkey laughed and rolled on the ground. Unable to do anything about the old carp, Long Aotian could only glare at it.
"You old geezer who doesn't respect his elders, I will absolutely not acknowledge your identity!"
"Whatever, anyway, this old man has plenty of virtuous sons and grandsons around me. Someone like you, who is uncultured and even assaults elders, is better off not acknowledging me!"
"Good, you said it!"
The two sides confronted each other, their words fierce.
At this moment.
The willow tree transmitted a message to Ye Junlin: "Island Master Ye, now that you've dealt with those four Chaotic Evil Spirits, what are your plans next?"
During their previous conversation, although it had been mentally prepared, it was still shocking to learn that the four great Chaotic Evil Spirits, who once shook the Kunlun Realm, had all fallen at the hands of this young man today.
It would be a lie to say it wasn't shocked.
If it were it, even with the advantage of cultivation, it would be difficult to achieve this.
Ye Junlin shrugged, "What other plans could there be? There are no more opponents for me in this world. Miss Liu, do you know, invincibility is so lonely ~"
As he said this, he spread his hands, feeling extremely helpless.
Willow Tree: "…"
Still showing off?
Alright, anyway, you have the right to do so.
After all, Ye Junlin's cultivation is now the highest in the Kunlun Realm, and his strength is the strongest in the world.
Therefore, no one understands what it means to be invincible better than him!
"It's a pity that the passage to the Immortal Realm has been destroyed. If the passage were normal, you might be able to ascend to the Immortal Realm and face even greater challenges." The willow tree said regretfully.
Ye Junlin waved his hand, "Let everything be as it may. If I can go, I'll go. If I can't, I'll stay here. Anyway, if this trend continues, powerful enemies from beyond the realm will come to invade sooner or later, and then there will be fun again."
The willow tree fell silent.
For some reason, when this very serious matter was spoken from the young man's mouth, it always seemed light and breezy, as if it were a game.
Is this the confidence of someone favored by the Heavenly Dao?
Envy.
"Little Long, come with me," Ye Junlin said impatiently, pulling Long Aotian and turning to leave as the noise in front of them grew louder.
"My good grandson, come and visit your grandpa more often when you have time. Grandpa will reward you with a few slaps in the face!"
The old carp said, spitting out water arrows while saying "Pooh Pooh Pooh".
It was extremely arrogant.
"Get lost, you moron!" Long Aotian turned his head and roared angrily.
It only stopped when the courtyard door was closed.
The two left Fallen Immortal Island and returned to the house.
The more Long Aotian thought about it, the angrier he became, still dwelling on the matter.
Suddenly, he seemed to make some important decision, his eyes particularly firm, clasping his fist and saying in a deep voice:
"Alliance Master Ye, I strongly suggest that we catch that old carp and roast it for everyone to eat!"
As soon as these words came out.
Ye Junlin's face was full of astonishment.
So ruthless?
That's your own grandpa!
"Is it not okay…" Long Aotian's expression could not hide his disappointment.
"Cough cough,"
Ye Junlin pretended to cough a few times, "Let's talk about this later, let's go have barbecue first, and you should calm down."
"Alright."
Long Aotian had no choice but to compromise, planning to discuss the matter later.
Back at the party, the barbecue feast had already begun, and the aroma was wafting, making people drool.
Everyone ate and drank heartily, toasting glasses and having a great time.
Only Long Aotian was unhappy. Thinking of what happened in the courtyard, his face became very ugly, and he squeezed out a sentence between his teeth angrily:
"I want to eat fish!"
In the courtyard.
The old carp no longer had the arrogant aura it had just now, but was sadly soaking in the water, falling into a long silence.
It was thinking about its dead daughter!
"Fellow Daoist, let the past be the past. After all, you still have a grandson alive in this world. This is the arrangement of fate." The old hen earnestly persuaded.
"Hmph, that kid has no respect for his elders. If he dares to come again next time, this old man will continue to slap him in the face!" The old carp said angrily.
At this time, the willow tree said: "Everyone, I can feel that the junior just now contains a huge potential, and his future achievements may be stronger than me."
"What?!"
The creatures in the courtyard were all very surprised.
"Miss Liu, are you kidding me? Are you overestimating that little brat?" The little donkey shouted excitedly.
Because it knew that the willow tree's true cultivation was at the peak of the Immortal Emperor, and its strength was enough to rank in the top ten of the Immortal Emperor realm back then.
Later, due to special reasons, it forcefully killed many Immortal Emperor-level creatures in a fit of rage, causing serious damage to the top combat power, which caused a lot of uproar and controversy.
Just when the Immortal Emperors of all parties were preparing to join forces to sanction it, Liu Taishang came forward to mediate at a critical moment. In order to repay this favor, the willow tree was willing to act as a guardian in the courtyard.
As a result, the other party actually said that Long Aotian's future achievements would be higher than it, which made the little donkey and other creatures unbelievable.
"I never joke about such things." The willow tree said in a deep voice.
Upon receiving the answer, everyone gasped.
Especially the old carp, who was almost frightened to roll its dead fish eyes.
If it had known this earlier.
It would have swallowed its anger!
It's all good now, offending an existence that will be stronger than Miss Liu in the future. Even the old ancestor of the Golden Dragon Clan would have to kneel down and beg for mercy!
"It's okay, as long as we stay in this courtyard, no one can do anything to us except Island Master Ye!" Thinking of the special nature of the courtyard, the little donkey suddenly became tough.
"That's you, it has nothing to do with us, this old woman hasn't offended him!" The old hen sneered.
"It has nothing to do with this old man either, after all, this old man is his own grandpa, a blood-thicker-than-water relationship." The old carp said solemnly.
The little donkey was stunned and squinted: "Hey, hey, hey, wasn't that your attitude just now? Your attitude has changed a bit quickly!"
"Hmph, you know nothing, the misunderstanding between this old man and him will be resolved sooner or later. You just need to remember that my grandson has the potential of an Immortal Emperor, oh no, the potential of a Saint!!!"
The old voice echoed excitedly in the courtyard.
The old carp was very excited, this was a good thing that made the ancestors' graves smoke!
For a moment, it forgot the previous unpleasantness.
The willow tree was speechless.
It was superfluous to reveal this kind of information.
A bit regretful!
The days passed by.
Since the four great Chaotic Evil Spirits died, the Hundred Thousand Immortal Mountains were no longer a threat, and they became a place for countless cultivators to explore.
The Oni Eye Clan, which had lost its protection, was quickly wiped out by powerhouses from all walks of life. As for the Ya Mi Die clan, which was shrinking in the depths of the Immortal Mountains, it was spared from the disaster of extinction.
There was no other reason, the current Alliance Master of the Immortal Alliance personally spoke, allowing the Ya Mi Die clan to be preserved. Who in this world would dare not listen?
Long Aotian recuperated in the Xuan Tian Sect, recovering the depleted vitality in his body. During this period, he went to the courtyard, wanting to seek revenge on the old carp, who would have thought that the old carp would smile at him, and even personally teach him more profound dragon clan magic.
Originally, Long Aotian was skeptical, until he felt the endless wonders, and the sense of resistance in his heart dissipated a lot.
After all, one does not hit a smiling face, not to mention that the other party took the initiative to give benefits. Although the title of grandpa was still not called out, it was obvious that Long Aotian did not have such a strong hostility anymore.
The attitude of both sides tended to ease, tacitly.
This day.
The sun was particularly bright.
On Misty Peak, the Qinglian Sword Immortal cupped his hands and reported the recent situation.
"Reporting to Alliance Master Ye, during this period, with our expansion, branch helms have been established in the other three major regions. The candidates for the helmsman are the strongest people in the local area, and they are willing to work for the Immortal Alliance."
"In addition, we have also captured several alien races from beyond the realm, and we are severely torturing them, forcing them to ask for information about the rest of their accomplices."
In front of him, Ye Junlin leaned back on the recliner and listened quietly, with an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.
I have to say, this feeling of manipulating everything is really cool!
Today's Immortal Alliance is a behemoth in the Kunlun Realm, unprecedented in scale. There are many people in charge of intelligence, and the news is well-informed. Who farted today can be known clearly.
Under this strong organization, those alien races from beyond the realm who tried to hide in the Kunlun Realm were exposed one after another and were severely tortured by the powerhouses of the Immortal Alliance one by one.
Now, the effect has been very significant!
"Not bad, keep up the good work." Ye Junlin nodded and praised.
Suddenly.
In the dark.
A special feeling arose in his heart.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Ye Junlin subconsciously raised his head and looked at the sky.
"This, this is the feeling of being able to ascend!"
The Qinglian Sword Immortal raised his head, his eyes showing surprise: "Has the passage to the Immortal Realm returned to normal?"
That's right.
After several years, the passage to the Immortal Realm that was shattered in the past was officially repaired today! Fellow Daoists, the passage to the Immortal Realm has opened! Whoever wants to ascend, hurry and seize the opportunity!"
"Immortal Realm? I used to have expectations for it, but now I find that staying in the Kunlun Realm is quite appealing!"
"Hey, Fellow Daoist, great minds think alike! Anyway, I can still become an immortal in the Kunlun Realm, so why risk ascending to the Immortal Realm?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I feel the same way!"
… …
With the restoration of the Immortal Realm's passage, the Kunlun Realm was like a Blast the pot, with heated discussions filling the five domains.
You should know that the Immortal Realm has always been the place that cultivators in the Kunlun Realm dream of.
Because of the decline in the cultivation environment before, the conditions for giving birth to True Immortals in the Kunlun Realm were extremely harsh, so ascending to the Immortal Realm became the ultimate wish of past cultivators.
But now, times have changed!
As the Kunlun Realm entered a stage of great recovery, becoming an immortal was no longer so out of reach.
Moreover, ascending to the Immortal Realm means going to an unfamiliar place, being new to the area, and it's difficult to get by without a background.
This is why many cultivators, after sensing the restoration of the Immortal Realm's passage, were not particularly happy, but rather somewhat resistant.
After all, in their eyes, the Immortal Realm is no longer the only way to reach the pinnacle of immortality!
The path to immortality is right under their feet!
Why leave their homeland and go to a foreign land?
This is the most genuine thought in the hearts of many cultivators today.
Especially those awakened revivalists from the ancient times, when they learned that the Immortal Realm could be ascended to, they didn't have any emotional fluctuations at all.
The reason is simple, they originally deliberately missed that opportunity and insisted on choosing to stay in the Kunlun Realm back then.
Therefore, the existence of the Immortal Realm has almost no attraction to them at all!
At this time, although the five domains were very lively on the surface, not many people were willing to ascend to the Immortal Realm.
Everyone's hearts were as clear as mirrors, and they saw the current situation very clearly.
"Alas, the Immortal Realm is too competitive. It's better for this old man to stay in the Kunlun Realm. I won't join in this excitement." The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal sighed with feigned regret, but in reality, he was ten thousand times unwilling to go to the Immortal Realm.
What a joke?
The Immortal Realm is full of powerful figures, the gathering place of the true powerhouses of ancient Kunlun. Moreover, after so many years, the foundation of the Immortal Realm must have become even more solid. Why should he run to the Immortal Realm to find a sense of existence?
Isn't it good in the Kunlun Realm?
In fact, it is normal for the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal to have this idea.
Now, as the Vice Leader of the Immortal Alliance, his position is second only to one person and above hundreds of millions of people. He can walk sideways in the five domains, and his combat power is also among the top ranks of this era.
He definitely has a full sense of superiority and is impressive wherever he goes.
But if he runs to the Immortal Realm, there will be too many people who can suppress him!
The sense of gap in his heart would be very large!
Furthermore, compared to the Immortal Realm, the Kunlun Realm is currently only limited by the laws of heaven and earth to the Immortal Emperor realm.
In terms of future development potential, as the former Eternal Great World, it must be much stronger than that artificial Immortal Realm!
Whoever wants to go can go!
But Ye Junlin didn't think so. When he learned that the passage to the Immortal Realm had been restored, his thoughts suddenly became active.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering a random mission, successfully ascending to the Immortal Realm, rewarding the number of Immortal Venerable-level laws increased to 30 million!]
In his mind, the system prompt sounded.
Ye Junlin's eyes lit up.
If he possesses 30 million laws of power in the Immortal Venerable realm, then when he is promoted to Immortal Emperor in the future, he will be able to obtain the Great Heavenly Position Immortal Dao Crown!
Directly leading far ahead on the starting line!
This feeling is great!
Moreover, during this period of time, Ye Junlin has been a little bored in the Kunlun Realm.
There are neither opponents to compete with, nor objects to rub cultivation experience from.
Unless later people catch up with his pace, otherwise it would really be extremely boring here.
However, now that the passage to the Immortal Realm has returned to normal, it undoubtedly gives him an excellent opportunity to rise.
In the Immortal Realm, there are not only Immortal Venerable-level powerhouses like him, but also the high and mighty Immortal Emperors.
In this case, he must go!
As his thoughts turned.
Ye Junlin made up his mind and said seriously: "Old Qing, I'll leave the Immortal Alliance to you from now on. I plan to ascend to the Immortal Realm in the next two days."
"Ah?"
Hearing this, the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal's old face was filled with shock.
The strongest person in the world, the leader of the Immortal Alliance, the backbone of countless cultivators, is actually going to choose to leave Kunlun and ascend to the Immortal Realm?
This, this, this… …
"Look at that expression of yours. Is there something wrong with my decision?" Ye Junlin raised his eyebrows.
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal looked reluctant and forced himself to persuade: "Leader Ye, the Immortal Realm is actually not that good. Why do you have to go all the way there?"
"Old Qing, I have to criticize you for this,"
Ye Junlin said sternly: "Since the Immortal Realm is more challenging, why shouldn't I go? We cultivators should be indomitable!"
His tone was sonorous and forceful.
Hearing this.
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal felt his cheeks burning and was utterly ashamed.
Compared to this young man, his ideological realm is really too far behind.
He is not afraid of challenges at all. Even the Immortal Realm, which is full of powerful figures and highly competitive, is nothing more than that in his eyes!
"Leader Ye is right."
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal cupped his hands and bowed deeply, respectfully saying: "I have been taught!"
"Yes."
Ye Junlin nodded in satisfaction.
Even he himself believed what he had just said.
"When I'm not here, you must manage the Immortal Alliance well and there must be no mistakes, otherwise I will hold you accountable when I return!"
"Your subordinate obeys!"
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal looked solemn and felt a sense of important mission, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
Soon.
When Ye Junlin told the people around him about his ascension, everyone was very surprised.
Is there still a need to ascend to the Immortal Realm these days?
He originally thought that no one would be willing to ascend, but he didn't expect that the first person to ascend would be the strongest person in the world!
"Junior Brother Ye! I beg you not to go, don't go, ah, ah, ah, ah~" The Peak Lord of Hidden Sword Peak pounced over, tightly hugging Ye Junlin's leg, crying emotionally.
He seemed very sad, but in reality, he didn't squeeze out a single tear.
Seeing this, Ye Junlin's forehead was covered with black lines, and he said disgustedly: "Get up, the acting is a bit too much."
The crying stopped abruptly.
After being exposed, the Peak Lord of Hidden Sword Peak stood up with an embarrassed smile, scratching his head and saying: "Indeed, I still need to improve my acting skills."
Pa!
After speaking, the back of his head was slapped.
The Peak Lord of Heavenly Fragrance Peak was very angry, scolding with her almond eyes wide: "Jian (surname) , are you crazy for no reason? Do you think it's fun?"
"That's right, that's right." The other Peak Lords despised him.
Knowing that he had become a clown, the Peak Lord of Hidden Sword Peak lowered his head and silently retreated into the crowd, pouting aggrievedly.
He was just trying to liven things up, why did they have such a big reaction?
They really have no sense of humor… …
"Everyone, Supreme Elder Ye is not something that can be contained in a pond. It is understandable to make this decision. We don't need to worry about him either. Maybe he will become an Immortal Emperor next time he comes back!" Sect Leader Xu Younian joked half-jokingly.
"Well said," Ye Junlin showed an appreciative smile.
There is a reason why they can be Sect Leaders.
"Since Master is going to the Immortal Realm, then we should go with him too," Li Wujie suggested.
"Agreed." Hong Qianye nodded.
After all, they have gotten used to following him. If they leave this young man, they feel that there is no point in staying here.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, I heard that you are going to the Immortal Realm?" After learning the news from the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal, Gou Buli rushed over in a hurry.
"What? Could it be that you want to go on the road together?" Ye Junlin became interested.
This dog thing used to be the gatekeeper of Empress Fyao. He had dealt with many Immortal Emperors. If they ascend to the Immortal Realm together, his connections must be very wide.
Who would have thought that Gou Buli shook his head like a rattle drum, "Even dogs don't go to the Immortal Realm!"
"Huh?!"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Junlin's eyes sharpened.
A bone-chilling chill permeated the air, and the temperature instantly dropped to the freezing point.
Everyone was terrified, looking at the yellow-haired old Taoist in disbelief, as if saying:
"How dare you?"
In an instant.
Gou Buli was covered in sweat, and hurriedly explained anxiously:
"Don't, don't misunderstand, the dog I'm talking about refers to myself, which means I'm not going!"
Hearing this, Ye Junlin frowned, carefully pondering the sentence just now.
His true form is a dog, so it seems that it is correct to say that!
It seems that he was overthinking it.
"Pay attention to what you say next time," Ye Junlin said sternly, his tone containing a strong warning.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The oppressive feeling that enveloped him disappeared, and Gou Buli felt much relieved.
He was still afraid!
What a close call, he almost ended up on the table… … After the misunderstanding was cleared, the conversation continued.
When asked why he didn't go to the Immortal Realm, Gou Buli also revealed his reasons.
Although he used to know many top figures, times have changed, and everything is different now.
Relying on his past identity as a follower of Empress Fu Yao, who in the Immortal Realm would be willing to give him face?
It would just be asking for trouble!
Moreover, Gou Buli had no longing for the Immortal Realm; in his opinion, the Kunlun Realm was his home.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, if you ascend to the Immortal Realm, please take care of my clansmen appropriately. After all these years, I don't know what the Heavenly Dog Clan's status is in the Immortal Realm."
"Take this token. As long as you show this token, the entire Heavenly Dog Clan will follow your lead."
Gou Buli took out a treasured golden token from his bosom. The token had a lifelike dog head on it, inexplicably comical.
"This is a dog tag?"
Ye Junlin took the dog head token, holding it in his hand with a strange expression.
Since it was a friend's request, it was just a matter of convenience.
"Senior Ye, Li wants to go to the Immortal Realm with you!" At this time, Canglang Jun, who was traveling with them, spoke.
"Hmm?"
Ye Junlin was a little surprised.
"You, a guy who sells fake goods, aren't you afraid of being hunted down when you get up there?" Li Wujie joked.
Canglang Jun looked embarrassed, "Little Friend Li, you are mistaken. It's been so long, who in the Immortal Realm remembers what I did?"
"Moreover, the reason I want to go to the Immortal Realm is to resolve a knot in my heart that has been there all along."
"What do you mean by that?" Ye Junlin asked curiously.
"Alas, back then, Li cheated and deceived to obtain more immortal crystals so that his precious granddaughter could cultivate without worry."
"Later, my reputation became too bad, and I was afraid of implicating my relatives, so I didn't move to the Immortal Realm with the mainstream."
"But after so many years, I want to know if my family is still there, and whether my granddaughter Tongtong is dead or alive..."
Canglang Jun revealed his inner thoughts with a sad expression.
Even now, he could still recall the lively, well-behaved little girl in his mind who called him Grandpa.
The main thing was that his granddaughter had decent talent, and with the help of a huge amount of immortal crystals and elixirs, becoming an Immortal King in the future was definitely a certainty.
But here's the problem.
To survive from ancient times to the present, unless one self-sealed and fell into slumber, otherwise, the lifespan of an Immortal King alone would not be enough to withstand the consumption.
Even if one reached the realm of Immortal Emperor and had enough lifespan to survive these ancient years, the divine soul would also be eroded by the years, eventually becoming decayed and turning into a masterless shell.
Only by reaching the Immortal Venerable realm would one be qualified to survive to this day!
But the Immortal Venerable realm, how easy is that?
Even in the heyday of ancient Kunlun, the number of Immortal Venerables was very small, and each one was a giant in the Immortal Dao, with immense power.
And back then, his Li family had only produced a few Immortal Kings, not even an Immortal Emperor.
Immortal Venerable-level figures were really something they didn't even dare to think about!
Moreover, there were too many variables in between, and Canglang Jun was actually not very confident that his granddaughter could survive.
More than that, it was just an obsession!
He wanted to return to his hometown and see the current situation of the Li family.
Canglang Jun had even prepared for the worst, that the Li family had long been wiped out in the long river of history.
This was all extremely possible!
"You old, immoral fellow, I didn't expect you to be quite sentimental," Ye Junlin sighed.
"Senior Ye, you can question my character, but I am very serious about this matter," Canglang Jun said with a wry smile.
"Alright, you can come with me," Ye Junlin nodded in agreement.
"Master, me too, me too!"
At this time, a boy with a middle part hairstyle wearing black overalls ran over, waving his hands excitedly.
Such classic modern clothing was a reward from the system sign-in a while ago.
Ye Junlin felt that it was just right for A'kun to wear it!
This kind of outfit was very similar to a certain old friend he knew in his previous life!
It was nostalgic!
A'kun ran to Ye Junlin in a puff of smoke and said nervously, "Master, I want to go with you too, please don't leave me behind."
Ye Junlin touched the boy's head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will take you with me."
"Hehe, that's good ~"
Just like that.
The number of people traveling together was confirmed.
Ye Junlin was preparing to choose an auspicious day to ascend to the Immortal Realm.
When this news spread, it caused a huge uproar outside.
"What? Alliance Master Ye is actually going to ascend to the Immortal Realm?"
"No way, is the attraction of the Immortal Realm so great that even Alliance Master Ye is willing to give up everything he has now to choose to ascend?"
"Everyone, don't talk nonsense. What kind of person is Alliance Master Ye? Can his ideological realm be the same as ours? He just wants to go to the Immortal Realm to find greater challenges."
"Fellow Daoist is right. After all, that one is walking the road of invincibility. Since there are no more opponents in the Kunlun Realm, the goal is naturally placed on the Immortal Realm."
"Alas, this kind of ideological realm is really admirable!"
… …
There were fierce discussions everywhere, and everyone was shocked by the fact that this peerless powerhouse was about to ascend to the Immortal Realm.
After all, for many ardent fans, Ye Junlin was the god in their hearts.
Now that the god was about to leave, it was inevitable that there would be a sense of loss.
Before long.
The deadline for ascension arrived. This was an auspicious day set by Gou Buli, and it would definitely be smooth and unimpeded.
On a mountain peak, several figures stood still.
The black-clothed man at the head stood with his hands behind his back, his snow-white, waterfall-like silver hair hanging down to his waist, his handsome face and bright eyes like stars, with a dashing temperament all over his body.
"Everyone, are you ready?"
Ye Junlin said seriously.
"Ready!"
Everyone said in a deep voice.
"Then let's begin."
Immediately, Ye Junlin and the others calmed their minds and subconsciously followed that feeling.
Whoosh~!
In the vast sky, a golden beam of immortal light descended, enveloping Ye Junlin and the others.
Instantly, celestial music lingered, heavenly flowers rained down, the scene was magnificent, with special effects fully displayed.
"All cultivators of the Xuantian Sect respectfully see off Supreme Elder Ye's ascension!" Xu You Nian and the others cupped their hands and bowed, excitedly saying.
"Respectfully see off Supreme Elder Ye's ascension!" As the number one immortal sect in the Eastern Region, the Xuantian Sect has recruited more and more cultivators in recent years. Looking around, the place was packed with people. All the disciples and elders had tears in their eyes, bowing in unison.
Soon.
The entire Eastern Region echoed with shouts, the sound like a landslide, earth-shattering.
"We respectfully see off Senior Ye's ascension!!!"
Regardless of their status, all cultivators cupped their hands at this moment, shouting towards the immortal light of reception.
This phenomenon also occurred in the other four major regions.
Hearing the respectful farewells from all directions, Li Wujie revealed an envious expression, "As expected of my master, even his ascension is so grand."
"The Immortal Realm, huh? I'm quite interested." Hong Qianye's eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth curled into a meaningful arc.
He couldn't wait to stir up trouble in the Immortal Realm, a place full of powerful individuals!
"Wow, everyone is flying so high~" Bai Xiaoxi's eyes sparkled, her tender face revealing a look of novelty.
Watching the immortal light of reception gradually disappear from sight, the cultivators of the Kunlun Realm looked melancholic, feeling somewhat sad.
Because the only recognized strongest person in this world had left them…
Inside the small courtyard, the willow tree sighed, "I'm starting to wonder what realm Island Master Ye will be in when we meet next time."
At this moment.
In the dimensional passage leading to the Immortal Realm, Ye Junlin and the others felt a peculiar sensation.
Countless particles of light flowed around them, like a large number of fireflies flying.
There was no concept of time here, so they didn't know how long had passed.
Rumble~
Suddenly, the dimensional passage trembled violently, as if it was about to collapse.
"What the heck, we agreed on an auspicious day, but what's going on now?" Li Wujie's scalp tingled.
"Hasn't the passage already been restored? Why is something like this happening?" Canglang Jun asked in surprise.
Everyone was frightened and worried about the sudden change in the dimensional passage.
If an accident were to occur here, their fate would be uncertain!
"System, what's the situation?" Ye Junlin frowned and quickly asked the system in secret.
[Ding, because the host and a few little friends are too powerful, the newly repaired dimensional passage can't withstand this kind of pressure, which is why this unstable phenomenon is occurring!]
In his mind, the system's prompt sounded.
"You mean, the passage will collapse?" Ye Junlin was a little depressed, regretting not waiting a few more days.
[Ding, please rest assured, host, the dimensional passage is not that fragile, it's just that you might be separated because of this!]
As soon as the words fell.
Li Wujie and the others exclaimed.
A vast expanse of white light instantly appeared before their eyes, firmly occupying everyone's vision. A sharp burst of sound rang in their ears, followed by a brief loss of hearing.
…
When Ye Junlin opened his eyes again, he found himself in a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.
"Is this the Immortal Realm?" He frowned, vigilantly observing his surroundings.
The immortal energy between heaven and earth was very rich, much stronger than the current Kunlun Realm.
Most importantly, Ye Junlin felt very relaxed, without any signs of being suppressed.
Because the environment of the Immortal Realm allows Immortal Venerable-level beings, and even Immortal Emperors, to move around freely.
It's just that the laws here are more complete, which greatly weakens the power of each cultivator's moves.
For example, a True Immortal who has just broken through to immortality can easily create a world-destroying scene in his own small world, shattering thousands of mountains with a single breath of immortal energy.
But coming to the Immortal Realm, where the laws are extremely complete, even if a True Immortal-level cultivator uses all his strength, it would be difficult to break through a boulder.
This is the difference!
Therefore, in the vast Immortal Realm, True Immortals can only be considered ordinary civilians!
As for the Tribulation Transcension Realm, which is known as a great power? Here, they barely have the qualifications to be pets!
Over endless years, many geniuses who ascended to the Immortal Realm from small worlds have to start from scratch in the Immortal Realm, walking on thin ice.
Those who are lucky can gain some status and face, while those who are slightly less lucky will become ordinary people, or even lose their lives!
This is the cruelty of reality!
As the saying goes, cultivators who have gone through hardships only become one of the hundred thousand heavenly soldiers encircling the Monkey King after ascending.
True Immortal?
Here, it's just the lowest threshold!
"Ye, Senior Ye!"
Amidst his fluctuating thoughts, Canglang Jun's voice sounded in the distance.
Seeing that familiar figure, he rushed over with a face full of surprise.
After all, being in an unfamiliar place, if he could follow a powerful backer, then naturally there would be nothing to worry about.
"Where are the others?" Ye Junlin quickly asked.
"I don't know!"
Canglang Jun spread his hands, depressed, "I arrived here as soon as I opened my eyes. I don't know anything about where they went."
Hearing this.
Ye Junlin had no choice but to accept this sudden situation, secretly saying:
"Indeed, as the system said, everyone will be separated during the ascension process."
Hopefully, his disciples will be safe and sound in other places! Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the ascension task, rewarding the Immortal Venerable level law to be increased to 30 million!"
The next second, the system prompt sounded in his mind.
"Fortunately, my efforts have paid off," Ye Junlin sighed.
Having 30 million Immortal Venerable-level laws means that when he breaks through to the Immortal Emperor in the future, he will be able to obtain the Great Heavenly Position Immortal Dao Crown.
Absolutely leading the way!
At this time, if other Immortal Venerables heard this, they would definitely be so angry that they would vomit blood and break down on the spot and curse shamelessly!
After all, most Immortal Venerables find it difficult to break through the 10 million mark in their entire lives, which means that they have no chance with the Immortal Emperor in this life.
Only a small number of Immortal Emperors can cultivate more than 10 million laws, initially possessing the qualifications to become an Immortal Emperor.
As for the number of laws that can break through 20 million, they can approach the top of the Immortal Venerable realm pyramid.
And this part of the Immortal Venerable-level powerhouses will give up continuing to cultivate the power of laws, and put all their minds on improving their cultivation.
Because the possibility of reaching 30 million laws is very slim, and the difficulty is extremely great.
Anyway, after breaking through to the Immortal Emperor, being able to possess the Middle Heavenly Position Immortal Dao Crown is already enough for them.
Therefore, being able to cultivate the Immortal Venerable-level laws to perfection is a feat that many Immortal Venerables dare not imagine!
As a result.
Ye Junlin only ascended to the Immortal Realm once, and the number of laws easily increased to 30 million, how could this not make them feel jealous?
I'm afraid they even have the heart to die together!
At this time, Canglang Jun cautiously asked: "Senior Ye, what should we do next?"
Ye Junlin shrugged and said indifferently: "What else can we do? Take it one step at a time."
"Alas, if only some kind person could provide us with information about the Immortal Realm at this time," Canglang Jun sighed.
After all, coming to a strange place, they are now like headless flies, not knowing which way to go.
Suddenly.
In the distant horizon, several figures swooped down on their escape light, landing around Ye Junlin and Canglang Jun respectively, seemingly surrounding them.
The tall man at the head had a bandit-like face and grinned: "Hehe, I just felt a special energy fluctuation nearby, and I thought maybe it was an ascender from the lower realm, and I guessed right!"
"Brother Biao, we can catch these two and take them to Nine Yang Village to be slaves!"
"That's right, these newly ascended cultivators are the weakest True Immortals, and they can't resist us at all!"
The other companions smiled cruelly.
Undoubtedly, they are all bandits, also known as rogue cultivators in a sense.
Ye Junlin was speechless.
Is the Immortal Realm so unfriendly to ascenders?
As soon as you come up, you want to catch True Immortals as slaves?
Fortunately, I am an Immortal Venerable...
Canglang Jun had a strange expression, these guys have really good eyesight, why did they have to catch them?
Isn't this purely kicking an iron plate, or the kind with steel thorns?
"Xiao Dezi, I'll leave this matter to you," Ye Junlin casually ordered.
These few rogue cultivators, the strongest is only a Profound Immortal, it would be beneath his dignity to do it himself.
"Yes."
Canglang Jun nodded solemnly, then looked at the tall man and the others with pity and sarcasm.
"Damn, what kind of look is that, you stinky old man? Gouge out his eyeballs for me!" the tall man said angrily, looking displeased.
Boom!
Just as those companions were about to take action, a terrifying sense of oppression broke out, enveloping them.
"Damn, Immortal King?!"
Everyone's scalps almost exploded, their faces full of disbelief, and their hearts almost jumped out of their chests.
Canglang Jun released his cultivation aura, directly suppressing the tall man and the others.
Bang bang bang bang~
Under the terrifying pressure of a top-tier Immortal King, one Celestial Immortal-level rogue cultivator after another exploded into blood mist.
In the end, only the tall man in the Profound Immortal realm was left.
At this time.
He completely lost his arrogant and domineering posture just now, but was trembling all over with fright, tears and snot streaming down, his face full of fear, as afraid as a mortal seeing a ghost.
At this moment, no matter what exaggerated words are used, it is impossible to describe the tall man's damn mood.
Originally thought the other party was a True Immortal who could be bullied at will, but directly revealed the cultivation of an Immortal King.
It's like a little earthworm on the ground suddenly transforming into a giant dragon soaring through the nine heavens!
No, how can you have such an outrageous cultivation just after ascending?
If the tall man knew Ye Junlin's identity, that he was an Immortal Venerable above countless immortals, he would probably be scared to faint directly...
"Senior, spare me, this junior has eyes but failed to recognize you!" the tall man cried out, his Dao heart collapsing.
"Where is this, tell the truth!"
After Canglang Jun asked this question aggressively, he seemed to think of something, and smiled meaningfully: "Look at my memory, it's better to directly search the soul."
Then, he stretched out his hand and placed it on the other party's head.
Turning on the rough soul searching mode!
"Ah..." The tall man only felt that his brain was about to be sucked away, his eyes gradually turned white, and his whole body twitched.
"I see, hum!" After mastering all the information, Canglang Jun shook his sleeves with disgust, and the tall man instantly vanished into ashes, dissipating into the air.
Through the soul search, Canglang Jun knew that this person was extremely sinful, usually liked to kill civilians for pleasure, and was a major scourge in the local area, so he immediately killed him.
At the same time, he also learned about the relevant information about the Immortal Realm.
"Xiao Dezi, what did you gain, tell me," Ye Junlin said with interest.
"Reporting to Senior Ye, it turns out that the Immortal Realm is divided into five major Immortal Domains, namely the Northern Cold Immortal Domain, the Southern Heaven Immortal Domain, the Eastern Victory Immortal Domain, the Western Ze Immortal Domain, and the Central Earth Immortal Domain!"
"Each Immortal Domain has many Great Domains, and each Great Domain is further divided into countless Great States, and where we are now is the Yu Sheng Great Domain, Fuck State, in the Northern Cold Immortal Domain!"
Hearing this.
Ye Junlin also learned the information of the new map.
Wait, Fuck State?
This place name is simply speechless!
"As for the ones who attacked us just now, they are from a bandit force entrenched ten thousand miles away in the northwest, called Nine Yang Village, the village chief of this mountain village is in the Immortal Lord realm."
Canglang Jun reported truthfully.
"Immortal Lord, huh," Ye Junlin clicked his tongue.
If it were any True Immortal who had just ascended, hearing the name of an Immortal Lord realm powerhouse would definitely be scared to death, because compared with this kind of big figure, True Immortals are as small as dust.
Unfortunately, he is an Immortal Venerable!
"Forget it, this kind of force sounds like they are doing banditry, I'll give the people of Fuck State a meeting gift since I'm new here."
...
Far away in the magnificent and vast mountains, a magnificent mountain village stands here.
This is the notorious Nine Yang Village!
At this time, the mountain village is filled with shouts of killing.
"The City Lord of Myriad Swords City is too deceiving, he actually wants to send troops to attack our Nine Yang Village!"
"Does he really think we will sit still and wait for death?"
"Fight them! Fight them!"
Looking around, there are a large number of rogue cultivators, each one is angry, holding their respective magic weapons, ready to fight.
"Shut up!"
At the highest point, there is a middle-aged man as strong as an iron tower, with veins popping out on his forehead, scolding.
The whole place was instantly silent.
Because this person is the deputy village chief, second only to the village chief in status, and he is in charge of all the big and small affairs on weekdays.
"What are you arguing about? The village chief is in seclusion to break through the realm, we can't afford to take responsibility if there is any mistake!"
Deputy village chief Lu Guan's face was gloomy, and his eyes were fierce.
Hearing this, everyone shuddered in fear at the thought of that little devil.
Lu Guan couldn't help but look at the village chief's throne, his mood extremely complicated.
In fact, before this, he was the village chief of Nine Yang Village, but later everything changed until that brat appeared.
The other party looks very young, but his cultivation is higher than his, and his temper is very irritable, moody, and he will kill people if he is slightly dissatisfied.
In this regard, Lu Guan secretly complained in his heart, making him feel like he was accompanying a king as if he was accompanying a tiger.
But fortunately, that brat is very strong, and not long after he took the throne of the village chief, he swept the other major mountain villages with an invincible posture, completely unifying the rogue cultivator forces in Fuck State.
Making the momentum of Nine Yang Village reach its peak!
During this period, Lu Guan was suffering and happy.
Although he was very happy to see the mountain village he created grow to this point, it was painful to serve that brat like a grandson every day, carefully.
Now, as the local giant force, Myriad Swords City, feels that Nine Yang Village is growing too fast and is a scourge, and wants to get rid of it quickly, so it organized an elite team to come and attack in the past few days.
It is rumored that the leader is the daughter of the City Lord of Myriad Swords City, who has returned from training in a large sect, and this time she is specially here to share the worries of her father and wants to solve the local banditry.
"Report!"
A hurried shout came from outside.
"What's the matter? Speak!"
Lu Guan said coldly.
"A scout reported that the woman leading the Myriad Swords City team is probably an Immortal... Immortal King!" The subordinate said with fear in his eyes.
"What?!"
Lu Guan's face changed drastically, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Immortal, Immortal King?
You must know that Fuck State is just a small place in Yu Sheng Great Domain, and an Immortal Lord-level powerhouse can be called king and hegemony here.
If it is an Immortal King, it is tantamount to a real dragon emerging from a pond!
However, the daughter of the City Lord of Myriad Swords City is actually a suspected Immortal King-level combat power, which is simply a catastrophe for Nine Yang Village!
In an instant.
Everyone's faces were ashen, and they couldn't muster any fighting spirit.
"Is my Nine Yang Village really going to be finished?" Lu Guan murmured in a daze.
Rumble~
Just then.
From the deepest cave in Nine Yang Village, an astonishing terrifying aura came, accompanied by the little devil's evil laughter, constantly echoing in the sky above the mountains.
"Hee hee hee, I'm done, young master!"
