Chapter 111: Legend of the Three Immortal Islands, a Sea Vessel Arrives Amid Purple Qi
The three islands seem very close, but in reality, they are extremely far.
And the authorities received the news immediately and brought various instruments for exploration.
Ultimately, they discovered an inexplicable force on the islands that hindered their investigation.
To be cautious, helicopters and fighter jets were not sent for patrols.
Because it is suspected that there might be life forms present.
But it is unclear if they are friend or foe.
Of course, the authorities did not choose to hide this information but made it public.
In this new era of anomalies, perhaps more strange events will occur in the future.
Thus, it is also to help the public gradually adapt and become familiar with these changes.
As soon as this news was released.
It indeed immediately garnered attention, sparking heated discussion online, with many speculating about the origins of the three islands.
Eventually, someone posted, suspecting that this might very well be the legendary Three Immortal Islands.
According to ancient texts.
Outside the Bohai Sea lies the Immortal Island.
During the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Shi had the Alchemist Xu Fu.
Lead three thousand boys and girls overseas to seek the Elixir of Immortality.
The most famous of the three Immortal Islands are Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang.
According to legend.
Immortals exist on the Three Immortal Islands.
This further fuels public curiosity.
Many rush over, eager to see if it really is the Immortal Island.
In the Bohai Region, many Awakened gathered, taking out their phones to record and film videos.
But some remained calm, believing the so-called Immortals might just be the Awakened, and as for the emergence of the Immortal Island, it's uncertain whether it's a blessing or a curse.
The authorities, understanding the gravity of the situation, dispatched troops to maintain order and prevent people from easily going out to sea, as it is still not known if they are friend or foe.
Senior Ji and Elder Yun held several meetings and reviewed a large amount of data.
Ultimately confirming, it might really be the legendary Three Immortal Islands.
But they know little beyond that.
They wanted to discuss this matter with Lu Yuan, but since he was in seclusion, the matter could not progress.
They plan to wait until he exits seclusion before proceeding, and in the meantime, they are closely monitoring the three islands.
Taishan Trial Institute.
Jiang Ningxian also learned of this and her expression became solemn.
"Uncle Jiang, the reappearance of the Three Immortal Islands means that the force dividing heaven and earth is gradually weakening, drawing us closer and closer to an era of greatness," she said, looking up at the sky as if observing something.
Although aware of what exists inside, she does not mind; to her, the appearance of the Three Immortal Islands is merely a sign.
"I've also received news that the members of our Ancestor Star have already set off and are en route."
Uncle Jiang, the elder, continued, "However, those arriving first at the Galaxy Star Realm should be the Celestial Race and others, followed by the Ji Clan, and also the Eternal Star Realm, Paradise Star Realm, and other major clans have set out."
He frowned, mentioning several Star Realms, and the Galaxy Star Realm is where this world is located.
"It seems all the Top 100 Star Realms should be converging in one place."
"As your father said, this is an era of greatness that hasn't been seen in millions of years."
Jiang Ningxian lowered her head and slowly spoke.
She knew that although the distances between the major Star Realms were vast, each had its own way of crossing the cosmic void; even if it still takes some time on the way, it won't be too long, especially as the force dividing heaven and earth in this world weakens.
"An era of greatness..." she repeatedly savored those words, then spontaneously said, "Can our Jiang Clan really carve a brilliant path in it?"
"Who knows?" Jiang Ningxian raised her dainty eyebrows, "One can only try; until the end, no one knows the outcome."
Uncle Jiang nodded and didn't continue the conversation, but instead said, "What about the Three Immortal Islands?"
"Will the people inside affect our plans?"
The implication was simple: the Jiang Clan had already cooperated with the authorities.
If they pose a threat to the authorities.
It is absolutely unacceptable.
So he considered whether he should do something when the time comes.
"Just a bunch of timid cowards." Jiang Ningxian sneered and said, "With Lu Yuan there, they cannot stir up any trouble."
Hearing this, Uncle Jiang was taken aback, couldn't help but say, "Holy Daughter, do you regard that Lu Yuan so highly?"
He thought that even within the clan, and even among the Top 100 Star Realms.
There are countless geniuses.
Yet, the Holy Daughter showed particular interest in Lu Yuan.
"Uncle Jiang, you just don't get it." Jiang Ningxian smiled mysteriously, "According to my observations, that Lu Yuan, even now just at the Shackles Realm, can defeat Golden Body Realm opponents, what does that represent?"
After hearing this, Uncle Jiang began to think carefully.
What does it represent?
It means Lu Yuan has at least broken through multiple Genetic Shackles.
At the same time, he possesses terrifying combat strength that allows him to battle across realms.
Such a person, even among the Star Realms, holds considerable potential.
When the time is right, he can transform into a dragon in one night, and another thing, this person has grown up in this world...
At once.
Uncle Jiang fell silent, and Jiang Ningxian sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and during her inhalations and exhalations, she was enveloped in a glowing light, her clothes floating as if she were about to ascend.
Meanwhile.
In another room at the Taishan Trial Institute.
Lu Yuan sat cross-legged, with his body's qi and blood constantly fluctuating, stronger than before.
Especially within that qi and blood, a dense burning aura was emitted.
Combined with the swirling golden qi and blood.
The whole person appeared as dazzling as the sun.
The room became hot and steamy, as if a volcano had been placed inside.
Fortunately, he wore the Innate Qi Clothing, otherwise, ordinary clothes would have been destroyed long ago.
Within himself, the Qi Blood Slaughter had disappeared, and the Great Sun Flame Divine Furnace was gone too.
But a more potent force was slowly being born.
That's right.
After so many days of seclusion.
He had completely fused the two Divine Artifacts into his body.
However, to have it completely coexist with the physique and qi blood still requires some time.
Because for Lu Yuan, once successful, the enhancement of strength is minor; what matters is the transformation of the physique, which signifies a metamorphosis, with a deeper foundation.
And the Great Sun Flame Divine Furnace is more powerful than he anticipated.
No wonder it's called a supreme treasure.
At this moment.
Lu Yuan is very clear that refining the physique requires patience and gradual progress.
Therefore, he must not be anxious, striving to make every step perfect.
This will allow him to go further on the path of evolution.
So now.
He is more focused.
And uses this force to continue breaking the Genetic Shackles, opening up a new Grotto Heaven.
An era is approaching; time is running out, so one must be thoroughly prepared.
Thus, the retreat continues.
...
Beside the Bohai region.
There is a small town here.
In the old days, some residents lived here.
But after the mutation, most have moved to mega-cities.
After all, it's somewhat remote here, and the ferocity of the sea Exotic Beasts was no less than those on land.
But now, outside the small town, near the seaside, a temporary military base has been established.
Teams of soldiers continually patrol back and forth.
Among them are not a few Awakened who have already obtained Extraordinary Power.
As time passed, and the authorities controlled the situation, more and more Awakened were cultivated, some entering Zhen Dan Academy, and others incorporated into the army, as they knew it would be difficult to maintain order with ordinary people alone in the future.
The soldiers made up of Awakened are replacing the soldiers of the old era.
Of course, this will take time.
But no matter what.
The power of the authorities is growing stronger by the day.
And at this moment.
On the beach by the sea.
Several figures stand, gazing into the distance.
Leading them are the North Emperor, Ice Fairy, and Pure Yang Little Celestial Master.
The others are also elite students from Zhen Dan Academy, but Zhu Qingyu and Monk Huikong are not present.
And on the distant sea horizon, Purple Qi is steaming, rosy clouds fill the sky, tinting the clouds, below are three vaguely visible islands, appearing ethereal and somewhat unreal.
"Senior Brother Gu, do you think there really are people on those Three Immortal Islands?"
Ice Fairy spoke, her words filled with curiosity and seriousness.
Senior Brother Gu, who is also the North Emperor.
Was originally named Gusang.
Of course, not many people call him the North Emperor anymore; Ice Fairy, following Zhu Qingyu, addresses him as Senior Brother.
"I don't know, but someone once photographed immortal cranes soaring within. Even if there are no people, there should be other creatures, right?" Gusang said, and Pure Yang Little Celestial Master also nodded in agreement.
The three of them, because of their high talent and strong strength, are all in the Awakening Realm and are outstanding individuals.
That's why Elder Ji sent them here to patrol the Three Immortal Islands, ready to handle emergencies immediately.
However, quite some time has passed by now.
The Three Immortal Islands still show no reaction.
No orders to patrol the seas have been received; they can only stand by the shore and watch.
"Senior Brother Gu, Senior Sister Ji, something's happening." At this time, a student suddenly spoke up, pointing into the distance.
Everyone was startled, and immediately looked carefully, then couldn't help but widen their eyes, with expressions slightly changing.
At this moment, on the sea horizon, a massive sea ship slowly emerged from the Purple Qi.
The sea ship is not modern, made entirely of wood.
But it is not ordinary wood; it appears very solid and durable.
At the same time, there are several giant sails on top, catching the wind as it approaches the land where they stand.
"An ancient ship, riding the Purple Qi, could it... really be an Immortal?" someone said, with a tone of shock.
"Immortals? If they're Immortals, why ride a ship, wouldn't they just fly on swords directly?" Pure Yang Little Celestial Master shook his head, knowing that the so-called Immortals of ancient times are actually modern Awakened; it's just that people need to evolve to a certain degree to obtain Aerial Ability.
The people on that sea ship evidently haven't reached that level, but coming from the Three Immortal Islands, they're not simple either.
Immediately, Ice Fairy had the matter notified to the authorities, then waited on the spot with everyone.
The temporary military base also got the news and came to support at once.
Some raised guns.
Some brought over tanks.
The trio of Pure Yang Little Celestial Master stood at the forefront.
Their strength is the greatest, and they are able to command whether the troops behind them should attack; they serve as the temporary base commanders.
Currently, everyone is watching the rapidly approaching sea ship closely, on high alert.
As no one knows whether the visitors are friends or foes.
Or even if they are human.
Soon.
As time passed.
The sea ship drew nearer and was about to reach the land.
Gusang, the North Emperor, along with Ice Fairy and Pure Yang Little Celestial Master, immediately stepped forward: "Halt, please state your identity before landing."
They are all Awakened, their voices carrying far, but the massive sea ship seemed not to hear it, continuing to dash forward.
Seeing this.
The three couldn't help but frown but still did not issue an attack order.
They only dispatched patrol boats to the water, issuing another warning.
But soon.
Before the patrol boats could approach.
They saw a figure in a purple cloak suddenly appear at the bow of the ship, raising a hand.
In an instant, the calm sea surface below stirred up waves, unexpectedly capsizing the patrol boat.
At the same time.
The massive sea ship continued to press forward without any regard!
