Immortality begins with meditation puppets

A yellowish, old lamp, with time silently passing by.

Behind Liu Feng, a yellow light illuminated, and time seemed to stand still. Within the area bathed in this yellow light, only a few people could move freely.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Tianguan led several members of the Zhao family out of the Sumeru alms bowl. His aura remained largely unchanged, except that his crown was slightly askew, making him look less imposing than before. As soon as he escaped, he issued another decree.

"In this place, the Way of Arrays is supreme; the power of arrays surpasses all other arts!"

"This place is blessed by the Heavenly Official, making it impervious to all evil and difficult for foreign enemies to invade or disturb!"

"In this place, attack three and defend seven; the attackers seize the courage, and the defenders strengthen their position!"

After Zhao Zhengquan uttered the three decrees, his expression became listless, his aura faded, and even the divine light connecting heaven and earth became crooked, clearly indicating that he had reached his limit.

"Your Excellency, please take a step back and rest. I will leave this place to you!"

Liu Feng said with heartache for Lord Taishan, "In today's battle, everyone can suffer some injury, but Lord Taishan cannot be harmed. If he is injured, his wife at home is even more ferocious than the entire Wanghai Thousand Islands Allied Forces combined."

Seeing how much his son-in-law cared for him, Zhao Zhengquan nodded with satisfaction.

"I wanted to lend my son-in-law a hand, but I didn't expect to be subdued by this amazing man with his alms bowl. If it weren't for my son-in-law using the Spirit Universe Jade Void Lamp to give us a chance to escape, I might have died at his hands today!"

"How could this be? That person is merely a newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator. Even if he used a Sumeru alms bowl to ambush Old Master Taishan, he could only trap him for a short while. How could he possibly threaten Old Master Taishan's life and fortune!"

Liu Feng was shocked and couldn't believe it. Although his father-in-law was not as powerful as his mother and the elders of the Zhao family in the Heavenly Official path, once he was fully prepared, even senior fourth-level Nascent Soul cultivators like Shanlu Zhenren and Fuhu Zhenren would suffer at his hands. How powerful could he be? However, he had only recently advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, yet his father-in-law had lost his composure like this!
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhengquan and the other members of the Zhao family behind him blushed and mumbled:

"The Sumeru World, in conjunction with the Music Monk's teachings, offers a kind of pleasure that cannot be explained to outsiders. Even we, who enjoy all worldly pleasures, are not immune to being swayed by it. Of course, I, being upright and righteous, can still control myself, but my son-in-law, being young and vigorous, is most susceptible to this formidable spell. If he encounters such a powerful being in the future, we must not give him the opportunity to use his magic!"

Since the old man had said so, Zhao Zhengquan immediately realized what they had encountered in the Sumeru alms bowl.

Is it really that much fun?

I'd like to see it for myself if I get the chance.

Having been kept in check by his tigress for years and never daring to cheat, Liu Feng secretly kept this in mind. He sent his father-in-law to the rear of the team to recuperate and then began making other arrangements.

By this time, the space-time imprisonment effect of the Lingzhou Jade Void Lamp had long since ended. Under Su Qing's command, the Wanghai Thousand Islands Allied Forces on the opposite side were organizing and launching the next round of attacks, determined to blast open a passage to Langya Immortal Island during the gap when Penglai was switching from offense to defense.

Led by the Bixi of Dragon Island, seven dragon ships followed behind. The Taotie summoned the giant monster of the North Sea, the Yazi roared with cannon fire, and the Bi'an and Pixiu showered fireworks and coins. In addition, many second and third-tier treasure ships provided firepower to the front.

Faced with such an offensive, the cultivators of Penglai were finding it extremely difficult to defend themselves. If it weren't for their superior magical artifacts, the support of the Star Orbit Cannon, and the assistance of the Heavenly Official Decree issued by Zhao Zhengquan, the team left to guard the outer perimeter would have suffered far more than just a loss of 20-30% of their combat strength.

Even with only 20-30% of their combat strength, there were at least a dozen or so Golden Core cultivators from Penglai, one or two hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators who perished in battle, more than twenty divine beast spaceships damaged, more than ten third-tier puppets lost, and the Huang family's spirit beasts almost entirely wiped out.

Such losses were unprecedented for Penglai, except for the battle between Penglai and the Demon Buddha. However, Liu Feng did not take it seriously.

"That's enough!" Liu Feng glanced indifferently at the radiant Su Qing opposite him and signaled the formation team behind him to begin their work.

Cultivating all skills, including array formations, artifacts, and talismans, with arrays being the most revered!

Penglai has dominated the Western Sea for over a million years, accumulating countless treasures and spirit stones, but more importantly, it has a wealth of talented people!
Today, there are twenty-four array masters who came with the army. Led by two fourth-order array masters, they can set up a peak fourth-order array that is no less powerful than the Yin-Yang Star Array on Langya Island!

A middle-aged beauty, adorned with jewels and sparkling with precious stones, pulled out a jade hairpin from her hair. With a gentle stroke around the perimeter of Langya Immortal Island, a chasm of the Milky Way appeared, as if separating Langya Immortal Island from the heavens and earth. Anyone wishing to enter would have to cross this chasm.

At the same time, another ugly cultivator beside him, with yellow teeth and sores on his face, took out a token branded with images of snakes, insects, rats, ants, and all kinds of poisonous beasts from his storage bag, placed it into the Milky Way Abyss, and then, with the cooperation of many array masters behind him, released more than a hundred array flags into the Milky Way Abyss, summoning black mist and poisonous smoke, turning the Milky Way Abyss, which was originally filled with white water and shrouded in immortal energy, into black water and eerie atmosphere.

The one at the very front was so brave for some reason, but the captain of the Wanghai ship was so brave that even though the nine sons of the dragon ship, including Bixi of Dragon Island, managed to brake in time in front of the Milky Way, the Snake Dragon ship was unable to stop and rushed into the Milky Way.

But the boat sank upon contact with water, and the man leaped out of the boat as if carrying a mountain, only to fall back into the black water. Before the cultivators could see clearly, black mist and poisonous smoke enveloped the man and the boat.

All that could be heard were shrill roars. This ship owner, whose courage was comparable to Delong but who was slightly less intelligent, became a sacrifice for the Wanghai Thousand Islands Allied Army in their test of the power of the two fourth-order formations of Penglai.

"A grand funeral, no, a grand reward! Go back and see if there are any family members left. If there are any descendants who can cultivate, Xiong Er Money House will spare no effort to support them until they reach the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation realms!"

Su Qing's lips twitched. After making arrangements for this warrior who didn't need to die and seemed to be deliberately trying to swindle his pension, Su Qing's eyes shone with gold as he used the Golden Eye of Truth to examine the true nature of the Milky Way Black Water.

The Milky Way that encircles Langya Immortal Island is over a thousand feet wide and its depth is unknown. The black water bubbled with poisonous bubbles and was teeming with venomous snakes and insects. It was known that there were more snakes and insects than black water in this Milky Way.

Golden Eyes surveyed the Milky Way and could see a jade hairpin shimmering with blue light and flowing with white water deep within it, and a token emitting black smoke and teeming with snakes and insects. He knew that these two objects were the core of these two formations, and that breaking the jade hairpin and the token would immediately dissolve these two great formations.

"But how difficult it is!" Su Qing sighed deeply. Behind him, Li De, a cultivator from the Thousand Islands, who had witnessed the power of these two formations before, also hung his head in dejection and spoke up:

"Of these two formations, one is the Immortal-Mortal Separation Formation, which is said to have been created by the Queen Mother of the West in the past. The white water inside is as heavy as a mountain. Once you enter it, your magic power and spiritual power will be blocked. You can only cross the thousand-foot Milky Way with your physical body. Therefore, you must be a fourth-level body cultivator to pass this formation. As a result, this formation is often used by the He family of Penglai to choose a son-in-law. In the past, the fourth-level martial general of the Central Plains Martial Kingdom crossed this river and was greatly exhausted, which is why he was taken advantage of by the two beauties of the He family!"
The Immortal-Mortal Separation Formation alone is already remarkable, but what's even more infuriating is the other formation set up within it.

The Five Poisons Deadly Formation is a formation created by the Liang family formation masters of Penglai in the past. Its core is the Five Poisons Token, a spiritual treasure obtained from the Southern Frontier. It can conjure up a miasma of five poisonous creatures that devour spirits and flesh, along with countless venomous insects. Even a physically strong person capable of traversing the Milky Way would not be able to withstand the tearing and biting of these thousands of venomous insects!

After Li De finished speaking, Su Qing remained expressionless, but Shao Delong, standing to the side, felt a chill run down his spine. Delong wasn't afraid of anything except these snakes, insects, and rodents. Upon hearing that the Milky Way was now filled with poisonous creatures, he immediately cursed aloud:

"If a direct confrontation doesn't work, then they resort to underhanded tactics? This so-called Five Poisons Deadly Formation is so insidious, the Liang family of Penglai must be childless, no wonder they ended up being wiped out!"

"Ahem!" Just as Delong was cursing venomously, Liang Haishun, draped in a death-curing cloth, coughed twice, stepped forward, and handed a bottle of medicine to Su Qing, saying:
"Years ago, by chance, I obtained a bottle of divine water. This water, when applied to the body, has the effects of enlarging and thickening, and moisturizing and beautifying the skin. Of course, that's not important. The most important thing is that if this water is applied to the body, it can isolate the five poisons and make poisonous insects retreat, which is exactly what this Five Poisons Deadly Formation is meant to do!"

It was truly a coincidence. Old Liang believed in Liang and cultivated formations, and by sheer coincidence, he possessed an item that could break the Liang family's formations.

But seeing that Old Liang was only wearing a cloth and possessed only the imposing presence of a third-tier cultivator, the cultivators present, who had just begun to have doubts, all shook their heads. If Old Liang was a survivor of the Liang family, then it would have been better if the entire Liang family had been wiped out.

Su Qing looked at Lao Liang and said with a wry smile:

"What is Fellow Daoist Liang doing? Do you think I, Su Qing, am going to traverse this Milky Way?"

“Others may not know how, but Fellow Daoist Su should!” Old Liang said, knowing Su Qing well.

In fact, only Su Qing can cross the river and break the deadlock. If anyone else crosses, they will be alone and will only be surrounded and beaten by the Penglai army on the other side of the river.

Su Qing's storage bag contains countless puppets. Once he reaches the other side, he can easily create an army of puppets, which could very likely throw the Penglai array masters into disarray and prevent them from maintaining their arrays.

Su Qing glanced at the Milky Way chasm, which was by no means wide in the eyes of cultivators, and shook her head slightly.

Just now, he did indeed intend to traverse the Milky Way and become a solitary hero.

Because he condensed the Dao Pattern of Fearlessness, knowing the dangers and taking risks, he could show great fearlessness. This place has also gathered many forces from the Western Sea. After crossing this river, he will definitely be able to engrave the Dao Pattern of Fearlessness in the hearts of heaven, earth and people. There is even a possibility that he can advance to the fourth level of body cultivation after crossing the river!

But he finally endured it.

"It is true that I have walked on thin ice all my life, but I cannot continue to walk on thin ice forever. I will accept this divine water for now and use it for other purposes. As for how to deal with these two formations, I have my own methods, so I don't need you fellow Daoists to worry about it!"

Because both the Jiuli Dao Pattern and the Celestial Master Dao Pattern issued warnings, Su Qing guessed that the Penglai cultivators on the other side might have other powerful methods waiting for them in this Milky Way. Therefore, he put aside his greed and prepared to cross the river and land in the safest way possible!
His gaze fell on the Heavenly God, which had been reduced to a pile of iron blocks and had not yet been recovered by the Penglai cultivators.

"Please wait here a moment, I'll be right back!"

Riding on the two-headed mirage dragon, Su Qing landed in front of the Celestial God. He carefully inspected the Celestial God from top to bottom and released large and small wood spirits, which crawled into the Celestial God's body through its seven orifices. In a short while, he had a rough blueprint of the Celestial God's internal and external structure in his hand.

This scene, witnessed by the Penglai cultivators on the opposite side, immediately drew waves of mockery and ridicule.

"What is this puppeteer doing? Could it be that he wants to take the Celestial God for his own use?"

"He's delusional! Several fourth-tier puppeteers from Penglai assembled a team of over a hundred puppeteers and spent tens of millions of years researching how to utilize the Heavenly God Ship. And he thinks he can figure out how to operate and use it all by himself?"

"Let him do it. It's all in vain anyway. It's a pity that none of the Thousand Islands Alliance dares to cross the Milky Way. We won't even get to watch the show!"

The cultivators of Penglai had great confidence in the Heavenly God Ship. Therefore, although the Heavenly God Ship could only exert the power of the fourth rank in their hands, it was actually a fifth-rank puppet. Its runes were so profound and its structure so complex that it was not something a fourth-rank puppeteer could figure out in a year or two. That was why Liu Feng left the Heavenly God Ship where it was after it crashed and stopped working. He was not worried that it would be taken away by others.

Liu Feng touched the magic weapon in his hand with some regret. This magic weapon was originally intended to target the person crossing the river on the other side, but seeing that Su Qing had no courage to cross the river, it was obviously useless. As for the Heavenly God, he did not think Su Qing had any chance of getting his hands on this puppet!

"By order of this True Person, apart from True Person Song and True Person Qi leading all the array masters to maintain the array here, select one hundred combat cultivators to stay here to guard it. The rest of you shall all accompany this True Person to Langya Immortal Island!"

Liu Feng made a decision: even with the arrival of two True Immortals, Huang Li and Huo Ya, along with most of the Divine Beast spaceships, in Langya Immortal Island, the situation there was still far from being under Penglai's control. To avoid further complications and delays, and after confirming that the Wanghai Thousand Islands Alliance was unable to defeat the Immortal and Mortal Two-Leaving Formation and the Five Poisons Deadly Formation, he prepared to launch a major offensive against Langya Island.

The Penglai army obeyed orders without question, and its high-end combat forces poured into Langya Immortal Island.

The first to be hit and dealt a heavy blow was Master Fuhu, who had sneaked into Langya Immortal Island early in the morning, hoping to pick peaches, but had not yet entered the peach grove.

To say that Master Fuhu is more miserable than anyone else is an understatement.

Upon arriving on the island, Su Qing's substitute puppet discovered his whereabouts, forcing him to rescue his uncle and engage in a fierce battle with the Fire Crow Real Person.

Before he could join forces with Wan Xiari to deal with Huoya Zhenren, Huang Li Zhenren, who was also angry after being humiliated by Su Qing, rushed to Huoya's aid. The two Zhenren worked together and immediately overwhelmed Fuhu and Wan Xiari, leaving them with no chance to fight back.

Fu Hu was miserable, but Wan Xia Ri was even more miserable than Fu Hu.

Fu Hu was a fourth-level body cultivator, with thick skin and flesh. He was burned by the fire crow and beaten by Huang Li, but he was not seriously injured. Wan Xia Ri's home was in Xuanwu Lake. Several True Immortals were fighting fiercely in his home, and it looked like his home was being torn down by them.

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have needed to be a god. I could have stayed in Shipwreck Bay and enjoyed a few more years of peace and quiet!"

Wan Xiari slapped his thigh in deep regret, but it was too late. After all, his home here hadn't been completely demolished yet, but his old home in Shipwreck Bay had been taken down long ago!

Seeing that Huang Li had summoned the Golden Crow of the Sun again, intending to boil the water of Xuanwu Lake dry in one fell swoop, Wan Xiari also became fierce and transformed into a two-headed evil wolf dharma form, which was his original nascent soul dharma form. The evil wolf spewed wolf smoke, turning the originally auspicious tortoise and snake dharma form into an evil tortoise and poisonous snake.

Wan Xiari, who had become wicked as a human and as a god, commanded the evil wolf and the tortoise-snake duo. The wolf swallowed the divine ship, while the tortoise and snake devoured cultivators. He turned the entire Xuanwu Lake into a chaotic mess, but his power was several times greater than before.

Whitewashing weakens him by three points, while turning evil strengthens him by a whole level. Wan Xia Ri, having abandoned the various constraints imposed on him by Master Tong when he was consecrated by the gods, has regained the unbridled and domineering spirit he had when he was the pirate emperor. He acts swiftly and ruthlessly, sacrificing many divine beasts and spaceships on Xuanwu Lake with blood. He then finds Huang Li with his vicious wolves, turtles, and snakes and gives him a sound beating.

"You wouldn't listen when I told you to stop, huh?"

Are you trying to bully an old woman like me?
Isn't that awesome? Isn't that impressive?

Wan Xiari's sudden outburst caught Huang Li off guard. Even if Wan Xiari turned evil, Huang Li would not have a chance to subdue him.

However, his attention was focused on Fu Hu. The Radiant Fire Crow he was rubbing in his hand seemed to be aimed at Xuanwu Lake, but it was actually targeting Fu Hu. He thought that if he could not kill Su Qing, he could kill Fu Hu to prove himself.

This gave Wan Xiari, who suddenly erupted, an opportunity. With a tortoise and snake coiling around him and a vicious wolf tearing at him, Huang Li was forced to summon his own Great Sun Flame Magic Form.

The Flame Demon was engulfed in flames, which made the tortoise, snake, and wolf sizzle and smoke. In a normal battle, Wan Xia Ri, whose cultivation was inferior to Huang Li's and whose Dharma form was not as refined as Huang Li's, might have withdrawn his Dharma form and temporarily avoided the sharp edge. However, at this moment, he was determined to make Huang Li pay, or at least drive him off the battlefield.

The tortoise shell cracked, the snake skin shed, and the wolf's fur was gone, but they all clung tightly to the Flame Demon, trying to distract Huang Li and give the Tiger-Taming Immortal, who had been wanting to escape, an opportunity.

"The Styx rolls back!"

A pool of black water gushed from Fu Hu's palm, transforming into black chains that bound Huo Ya Zhenren in mid-air. Immediately afterward, Fu Hu Zhenren rode a striped blood tiger and galloped wildly in the direction of the Celestial Master's Ruins!

"Don't let him escape!"

Seeing Fu Hu escape, Huang Li was furious. He used his Flame Magic Avatar to drive away the tortoise, snake, and wolf, and then, with Fire Crow Immortal, gave chase.

By this time, Wan Xiari was half dead. He was just relieved that he had driven away these nasty guests and finally saved Xuanwu Lake, the lifeblood of his path to godhood.

Suddenly, he felt a gust of evil wind. Before he could react, he saw Liu Feng, dressed in a Hongmeng robe with a cold expression, throw an incense burner at him. The incense burner was of unknown origin. As soon as it landed in front of him, Wan Xiari was unable to act as either a human or a god. In a daze, he turned into an incense burner and stuck it into the burner himself.

Holding the incense burner, Liu Feng nodded in satisfaction, then looked in the direction where Master Fuhu had fled. His expression turned cold again, and he led the Penglai cultivators in hot pursuit.

Before they had even chased for dozens of miles, they saw Huang Li and Fire Crow Master hesitating in front of a forest of withered trees.

Liu Feng originally wanted to question these two True Immortals about why they weren't following Fu Hu closely, but after they sensed the abnormality of the withered forest, their expressions darkened, and they understood why the small withered forest could block two Nascent Soul True Immortals.

Each withered tree, leafless and branchless, stood straight and bare in the ground, no thicker than a bamboo pole and no more than three or five feet tall, yet it exuded an aura that made even him feel uneasy.

Looking at the ground again, he saw a patch of bare red earth, exuding an unpleasant stench of blood. When he regained his senses, he saw that the dead trees were not without branches, but rather had knives, spears, and clubs stuck into them as branches, with countless living creatures hanging upside down as leaves.

L!

The upside-down figures, who had been dead for a long time, were still dripping blood onto the ground, staining the area of ​​this withered forest crimson.

Liu Feng and the cultivators behind him immediately recognized many familiar faces among the upside-down men.

“Fellow Daoist Li, he was a peak third-tier body cultivator who cultivated the Vajra Strength Dao Pattern, which even a fourth-tier Nascent Soul cultivator would find difficult to defeat. A thousand years ago, he received news of a celestial cave and went there to seek opportunities. How could he have perished here!”

"Second brother, my dear second brother, you told me and my sister-in-law to wait for your return from retrieving the treasure. In the blink of an eye, when we brothers meet again, how come you're hanging from a tree, unable to live or die? How pitiful! How can my former sister-in-law, now your sister-in-law, live with this sight!"

"Gu Wuchen, the strongest swordsman in the far west three thousand years ago, created a heaven-level sword technique not long ago, and had not even challenged the Eastern Wilderness with his sword, yet he died here?"

A cluster of dead trees, with over a thousand living beings hanging upside down, all of whom were once renowned figures in the Western Sea, were now suspended upside down by magical artifacts and weapons from the dead trees in front of them.

This left the arrogant and conceited cultivators of Penglai, who always considered themselves the most powerful and second-ranked, somewhat terrified.

Liu Feng, as expected of one of the most outstanding figures of Penglai in this generation, remained unfazed even in the face of this withered forest. He stepped forward and stood with the two True Immortals, Huang Li and Huo Ya, and bowed slightly to the front, saying:
"How could the Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom be so incompetent, sending only True Man Fuhu to seize Langya Immortal Island, and even being restricted by the boy Wanghai, he could only sneak onto the island? It turns out that True Man Kumu was already here on this immortal island to provide support."

"I, Liu Feng, pay my respects to the Recluse of the Withered Tree!"

Master Kumu, one of the three elders of the Thousand Islands Sect, together with the other two, could rival a Nascent Soul cultivator. His lifespan is unknown, but it is known that the Thousand Islands Sect was able to withstand the Penglai Immortal Kingdom, which possessed Nascent Soul cultivators, because of the presence of these three elders. They fought against Penglai in the Western Sea for so long.

Even Liu Feng dared not be disrespectful to such a person, and greeted him as a junior.

"Now that you know I am here, you will all leave at once. If you know what's good for you, I might spare you this time out of respect for your ancestor. If you don't, I won't mind feeding my good son with your flesh and blood!"

A hoarse voice came from the dead wood forest, and no one could tell where it came from. But after it spoke, chunks of flesh rose up from the originally blood-red ground, as if a giant was about to crawl out of the ground. These dead trees were actually planted on the giant's body!

"Master Kumu is joking. Although my skills are not as good as yours, I represent the face of Penglai when I am out in the world. You think you can make me retreat and lose face with just a word? You are underestimating me, Liu Feng, and all the cultivators of Penglai behind me!"

Liu Feng's tone turned cold. "I respect you for living so long that I call you Old Immortal. But if I were to truly turn against you, you would be nothing more than an old codger who has lived for thousands of years but whose lifespan is nearing its end!"

"Judging from the tone of the withered tree immortal, I thought that the Western Sea was ruled by your Thousand Islands and that there was no place for my Penglai to stand. Let alone one immortal being here, even if there were two or three Thousand Islands Nascent Soul cultivators blocking the way, you would not make my Penglai bow down. The Celestial Master's Ruins are mine to take!"

Standing to Liu Feng's left and right, Fire Crow Master, who valued Penglai's reputation above all else, was now shouting because he was certain that his side had the upper hand and that if Drywood Master continued to spout nonsense, they would take drastic measures and uproot these withered trees that had been planted on his good son.

Slap slap slap, the slap in the face came very quickly.

After Master Fire Crow spoke, Master Dry Wood snorted coldly. Then, ghosts howled and wolves howled in the Dry Wood Forest. The Blood Claw of the Forest held Fire Crow in place, and he could only endure several slaps from him.

Seeing his beloved pet being humiliated like this, Huang Li, who was still hoping it would go back to breed, couldn't sit still any longer. He took out the Fire Crow Spirit Fan made from his beloved pet's natal feather, and with a burst of heat, he was about to slap the Senluo Ghost Claw back.

Unexpectedly, just as he moved his fan, a crescent-shaped sword emerged from the withered woods, flying swiftly and without a trace, heading straight for his fan-wielding hand.

That Blood Luo Scimitar had countless lives on its hands, and its malevolent aura was so strong that it seemed to have crawled out of the Netherworld. It was something that Huang Li's protective spiritual light could not withstand. If it weren't for the quick reaction of the red-necked white crane that carried him into the air, allowing him to narrowly escape the Blood Luo Scimitar, Huang Li, who had been repeatedly defeated, would not only have lost face but also his arm!
When the first attack failed, the Blood Luo Scimitar hovered in front of Liu Feng and the others. At the same time, a Taoist in a blood-red robe and a Taoist in a green robe emerged from the withered forest.

However, they were Xue Luo and Zhao Chun, both Nascent Soul cultivators from the Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom.

"Just as I expected, since True Person Kumu dared to block our way, there must be more than one or two Nascent Soul True Persons on this Immortal Island. However, I have only recently broken into Langya Immortal Island. During my previous battle with those outsiders, I was always on guard against outsiders sneaking into the island. I wonder when these True Persons from the Thousand Islands Sect entered the island and why they have appeared at this time!"

Upon seeing Xue Luo and Zhao Chun, both Nascent Soul cultivators, Liu Feng was slightly surprised, but he still calmly cupped his hands and asked.

"Let me let you know that my Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom has long coveted Langya Immortal Island. The Heavenly Master's Ruins are already mine. What use is your blockade of the island? As far as my Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom is concerned, we can come and go as we please on Langya Immortal Path!"

Xue Luo Zhenren had always looked down on all kinds of second-generation talents, believing that their success in cultivation was entirely due to the protection of their ancestors. They consumed countless precious materials and wasted valuable cultivation resources, and were still nothing but useless fools. At this moment, he spoke to Liu Feng, a second-generation talent from Penglai, with an extremely cold and hard tone.

The cultivators from the Thousand Islands were arrogant and lacked manners, but Liu Feng didn't bother with them. He simply smiled and bowed to the withered tree forest, asking:

"Disregarding the Penglai blockade as nothing, moving here and there with ease, could it be that Master Kumu brought the Styx Black Lotus, one of the most precious treasures of the Styx lineage, with him on this trip? If that's the case, I'll flee immediately, I have no intention of learning about the Styx Black Lotus!"

The Black Lotus of the Styx, an innate spiritual treasure, though damaged and no longer possessing its full power after the great calamity of antiquity, has been nurtured by countless precious materials since it was obtained by the cultivators of the Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom. Now, it possesses the power of a fifth-tier treasure and is the Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom's most prized possession. If Kumu and the others had used this treasure to sneak into Langya Immortal Island unnoticed, Liu Feng would have turned and left without a word. Coming from a family of weapon refiners, he knew all too well the power of a fifth-tier spiritual treasure.

Knowing what he was wary of, the withered wood immortal opposite him merely chuckled and did not try to scare him with the Styx Black Lotus.

"If I, the True Immortal, told you that the Black Lotus of the Styx is currently in my hands, would you turn around and lead your men to attack my Thousand Islands Abbot Immortal Island, and take advantage of the Black Lotus's absence to uproot my Thousand Islands?"
"Langya Immortal Island is good, but it can't compare to my Fangzhang Immortal Island. How could my Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom not be wary of your Penglai? We came here with other wondrous methods, but not the Black Lotus's. However, without the Black Lotus here, would you, a mere junior, really dare to fight us?"

As soon as Master Kumu said this, Master Xueluo and Master Zhao Chun both displayed their auras. The three of them combined their strength, and their blood energy and spiritual pressure were so tangible that they were like swords and knives, making it hard for the Penglai cultivators opposite them to breathe. Even Huang Li and Huo Ya, the two Nascent Soul Masters, had to circulate their energy and cast spells to avoid losing their composure under this spiritual pressure.

Faced with the combined pressure of these two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators and one late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, Liu Feng stood as firm as a pine tree, his breath like a dragon's.
"If it weren't for the Black Lotus of the Styx here, what courage would you three old geezers have to stand in my way!"

As he spoke, a seal emerged from his storage bag.

The seal was square, with a five-clawed gilded dragon pattern on top and the words "Tianyuan Dynasty" printed below. As soon as it appeared, a true dragon roared out, and the imperial aura instantly shattered and dispersed the blood-black spiritual pressure of the three Nascent Soul cultivators from the Thousand Islands. It also forced the most malevolent Blood Luo True Man to retreat several steps, suffering serious injuries.

After the seal displayed its power, it landed on Liu Feng's head again, making him appear as if a human emperor had descended to earth, majestic and extraordinary, his aura increasing several times over.

"The Emperor's Seal? When the Tianyuan Dynasty collapsed and scattered, the Emperor's Seal, the Human Dao Sword, the Imperial Stele, and other imperial treasures were scattered in the wilderness. The various martial kingdoms of the Central Plains have been searching for them ever since, but unexpectedly, the most authoritative of them all, the Emperor's Seal, is in your hands, Penglai."

"But you, Penglai, are delusional enough to create a Heavenly Court of Humanity. What use would you be to this seal? Is it not enough to build a Heavenly Court in the heavens? Do you also want to establish a Human Imperial Court on earth?"

As soon as the Emperor's Seal appeared, the once eerie and terrifying Drywood Forest was no longer so strange, thanks to the imperial aura emanating from the person within the seal. When the Drywood Immortal spoke, he no longer regarded Liu Feng as a junior he could easily suppress.

Liu Feng ignored his questions and instead took out the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, the Spirit Universe Jade Void Lamp, and other spiritual treasures from his storage bag. He then used the Liu family's strength of having many treasures, along with these spiritual treasures, as the spearhead, and led Huang Li and Huo Ya, two True Immortals, to launch a strong attack on the withered forest.

He knew very well that the True Man Fuhu had already escaped into the Celestial Master's Ruins, and that Fuhu was definitely not the only one from the Thousand Islands Immortal Kingdom to enter the ruins. Penglai had already fallen behind, and they couldn't afford to fall any further behind.

"If we can't intimidate him, the two True Immortals will have to show their true abilities and give Fu Hu and True Immortal Xi time to seize the divine runes!"

Seeing that Liu Feng was unwilling to talk to him in detail, Ku Mu could only helplessly tell Xue Luo and Zhao Chun to prepare themselves. Just as Liu Feng was the roadblock outside, buying Huang Li and Huo Ya time to control the Celestial Master's Ruins, the three of them were now also roadblocks in Penglai!
The withered wood immortal made the first move, unleashing countless upside-down figures, like puppets on a string, lowered from the tree and displaying their former abilities to meet the Penglai army opposite them. While their numbers might be fewer than the Penglai army, their individual combat strength was superior. Furthermore, having no way to die, they were utterly fearless, and from the very first engagement, they overwhelmed the Penglai army! (End of Chapter)
