Junior sister, I really need to control you.

Black Reef Island.

"Red-striped peaches?" Li Yinsheng looked at Tantai Jing curiously. "Does Fairy Tantai recognize this?"

Tantai Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "This... if the record in the book that Tantai saw is correct, then it should be so."

"The Crimson-Veined Peaches are an extremely precious natural treasure, one might even say they are a spiritual object of heaven and earth."

"It is said that above the red-striped peach, there is also a purple-striped peach, which is a divine object of the highest order in the world."

"In ancient times, even mortals could achieve immortality like modern immortals by consuming a single purple-veined peach, and possess cultivation and supernatural powers no less than those of human immortals."

"However, whether mortals are qualified to consume such divine substances is unknown, since it is only a record from ancient times."

"Even if a cultivator obtained it now, they'd be too busy consuming it themselves to give it to mortals."

"If a cultivator practicing the current method can consume a purple-veined peach at the peak of the Human Immortal realm, they can easily break through to the Earth Immortal realm, and it will have no impact on their subsequent cultivation."

"Even a being of the Earth Immortal level would benefit greatly from a single Purple-Veined Peach," Tantai Jing said.

Li Yinsheng's eyes lit up: "Although this red-striped peach is not as good as the purple-striped peach, it must still have some of its power, right?"

"That's hard to say," Tantai Jing shook her head. "The books I've read only mention that the red-veined peach is inferior to the purple-veined one, but they don't mention its effects." "Hmm... However, this peach has a pure and clear aura, without any impurities. Whatever its effects may be, it shouldn't be harmful."

Li Yinsheng looked at the Crimson-Veined Peach and said, "Fairy Tantai, we found this together, so it should be half for each of us."

"However, such a divine object might lose its power if it is broken."

"If Fairy Tantai is willing, I can offer you compensation..."

"No need," Tantai Jing shook her head. "This island was discovered by Young Master Li using his divine sense. If you hadn't spoken up, Tantai would have been completely unaware of it."

"Tantai only moved the Hidden Star Palace here because of what Young Master Li said. Even without Tantai, Young Master Li could have come by himself."

"Besides, it was Young Master Li's junior sister who disturbed the sacrificial spirit, so both morally and logically, this crimson peach should belong to Young Master Li."

Tantai Jing smiled faintly, "Besides, this peach only has red markings, not purple markings, so it won't help Tantai break through to the Earth Immortal realm."

"This is putting Fairy Tantai at a disadvantage," Li Yinsheng said, frowning.

"Unless she breaks through to the Earth Immortal realm, Tantai's current cultivation level will be difficult to improve. Even with such a treasure, it will not be of much use."

She shook her head and said, "If Young Master Li feels bad about it, well... he can refine a few pills for Tantai in the future."

Li Yinsheng thought for a moment and nodded, "Then thank you very much for your generosity, Fairy Tantai." "Generous?" Tantai Jing chuckled, "The pills that Young Master Tantai hopes to refine are not simple. Perhaps you've even suffered a loss?"

Li Yinsheng smiled and shook his head, waving his hand as if to pick the red-striped peach.

But then he suddenly frowned, and the Taibai Sword appeared out of thin air, slashing towards a spot in the void next to the Crimson Peach.

At the same time, he flashed and appeared next to the Crimson Peaches, picked one, and put it into his Qiankun Bag.

As the Taibai Sword flashed past, a splash of blood suddenly appeared in the void several feet away.

The blood seemed to contain immense weight; upon appearing, it suddenly crashed to the ground, creating a huge crater with cracks spreading outwards, revealing the roots of the withered giant peach tree below.

Even the entire Black Reef Island trembled a few times.

As Li Yinsheng made his move, Tantai Jing also sensed something, and a silver light shone in her eyes.

"How dare you!"

She pointed her finger, and a streak of silver light flew out, transforming into a slender silver shuttle that flew towards a certain point, subtly containing the supernatural power to pierce through space.

In what seemed to be an empty place, the space suddenly trembled, and the silver shuttle, which should have been able to pierce through space, bounced back as if it had hit an arrow against a wall.

However, precisely because of this, the person hidden in the void could no longer conceal himself and revealed his form. He was actually a burly man, nine feet tall, with a robust physique, and his aura clearly indicated that he was at the peak of the Human Immortal realm.

The burly man wore black armor that exposed his arms, and there was a wound several inches long on his left arm, from which the swirling metal energy was being rapidly expelled.

Where the Geng metal energy is expelled, the wound heals instantly, as if no healing process is needed at all.

"Hmph... The young master of Polaris Island is nothing special, not even as good as that sword cultivator next to him with weaker cultivation." The big man sneered, looking down at Tantai Jing.

Holding Mu Xiaoyu, Li Yinsheng looked at the big man with great interest in his eyes.

"What kind of supernatural power did you use? Even I almost missed it!" Li Yinsheng said, sizing up the big man.

"Just now you seemed to have merged with the surrounding void. You had no trace of life, and even the fluctuations of your soul were concealed by the space."

"Spatial supernatural abilities are already extremely rare, but I never expected there to be one that specializes in concealment."

"And... you're a physical cultivator, which is even rarer." Li Yinsheng's tone couldn't hide his surprise.

"I never expected that you, a mere junior at the fourth or fifth level of the Human Immortal realm, would be a sword cultivator, and not only do you possess a top-tier flying sword, but you also have the supernatural power of spatial teleportation."

The burly man looked at Li Yinsheng with equal surprise: "Among the immortals in the world, none who are skilled in spatial techniques can break through this Formless Fusion Spirit Technique, but none have the ability to break through my physical defenses."

"There is no way to break through my physical defenses or to counter the Formless Fusion Spirit Technique." "I never expected to encounter a sword cultivator who is proficient in spatial supernatural powers today," the big man shook his head, "Indeed, opportunities in this world are not so easy to come by."

"A stroke of luck?" Li Yinsheng said coldly, "You didn't just happen to be passing by; you came straight for these Crimson-Striped Peaches?!"

Li Yinsheng was extremely surprised.

After all, in his understanding, this sacrificial spirit should appear with his junior sister. Other cultivators would rarely encounter it, so how could it be something that was prepared in advance?

"Hmph... I have waited here for seventy years before these ruins finally appeared."

The burly man sneered, "If we're talking about who came first, it's clear you stole my opportunity!"

Starlight appeared beside Li Yinsheng, transforming into the figure of Tantai Jing.

At this moment, her beautiful face revealed undisguised disgust and contempt.

"Who do we have here? It's just cultivators from the Star-Picking Palace! What 'Formless Spirit Fusion Technique'? It's clearly a trick designed for petty theft! You bunch of scoundrels!"

Despite being scolded like that, the big man remained unfazed, even showing some smugness and enjoyment.

"The Star-Picking Palace? Fairy Tantai, what kind of power is this?" Li Yinsheng asked.

He had gained considerable knowledge of the various forces in the East China Sea, but the Star-Picking Palace was completely unheard of. Go to Bing to search for the latest chapter!

"The Star-Picking Palace is the most notorious force in the East Sea, and they are experts in using celestial phenomena to deduce fate and destiny."

Tantai Jing explained, "My Polar Star Island also has some knowledge of this, but it's all used for righteous purposes, simply to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. Other righteous forces that are skilled in observing stars and predicting fate are mostly the same."

"But the Star-Picking Hall is a heretical sect that specializes in predicting the opportunities of those who have a master in the world, and then comes to wait in advance, set up ambushes to intercept and steal the opportunities that originally belonged to the original owner."

Tantai Jing said coldly, "And they even have the audacity to use 'Star-Picking' as their name."

"Among their disciples, most are wicked yet capable individuals. Their cultivation techniques primarily focus on concealment and escape within spatial realms; they are all a group of despicable people who cannot bear the light of day!"

The burly man shook his head: "Who said that? Little lady from Polar Star Island, can't you tell I'm a proper body cultivator? Hahaha..."

"It's probably a body cultivator built up with resources obtained through theft of opportunities!" Tantai Jing said coldly.

"That's none of your business!" the burly man said smugly.

"Hmph, the way you, the Star-Picking Palace, have incurred a great karmic debt, and you will be punished sooner or later!" Tantai Jing said.

Although Li Yinsheng understood what the Star-Picking Palace was for, he was even more surprised.

The Star-Picking Palace can even foresee my junior sister's fortuitous encounter? But the connections behind her fortuitous encounter are far more complex than you might imagine. How could someone at the peak of the Human Immortal realm be able to foresee it without suffering any backlash?

However, Li Yinsheng fully agreed with Tantai Jing's statement that he would eventually face retribution for his karmic debts.

Meeting him was retribution for the big man.

"Retribution? Heh heh...maybe it will happen, but unfortunately not today!"

The burly man laughed loudly: "Lady Tantai, for your sake, I'll let that brat go today. Otherwise, even if he's a sword cultivator, he'll have to leave me with his opportunity and his life."

"Young lady from Polaris Island, you must remember this favor I've done for you, and repay it well in the future..."

As he spoke, he vanished back into the void.

Tantai Jing's face was ashen. Just as she was about to use her supernatural powers to try to stop him, Li Yinsheng pushed Mu Xiaoyu into her arms.

"This fiend's supernatural powers are strange and unpredictable. Fairy Tantai may not be able to stop him. Perhaps I should come down instead."

Tantai Jing was taken aback, thinking that Li Yinsheng had lost his mind from anger.

But the next moment, she sensed that the person beside her was emanating a star power that far surpassed hers in both quality and quantity.

The Divine Lord of the Morning Star stood high in the sky, while the Vermilion Bird Celestial Phenomenon appeared beside him. The Vermilion Bird Celestial Phenomenon let out a cry, and with a rip of its claws, it tore apart the space in front of it, reaching into it and instantly pulling out a burly figure.

Compared to the Vermilion Bird Celestial Phenomenon's hundreds of feet in wingspan, this figure was as small as a grain of sand, darting left and right amidst the divine light woven from its crimson claws.

His physical combat prowess was said to be unparalleled among those of the same level, but as a peak Human Immortal, he was like a moth drawn to a lampshade.

The Divine Lord of the Morning Star remained motionless, watching indifferently as the burly man struggled futilely between the claws of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Elephant.

In just a few breaths, this burly man used three or four different spatial abilities in succession, and all of them were extremely sophisticated.

However, it had no effect whatsoever on the Vermilion Bird celestial phenomenon, whose claws could tear through the void.

"Fairy Tantai, you just said that the Star-Picking Palace is infamous. I should be able to kill this person without much trouble, right?"

The telepathic message from the Divine Lord of the Morning Star reached the ears of Tantai Jing below.

While Tantai Jing was still in a daze, holding Mu Xiaoyu for Li Yinsheng, she suddenly heard a voice transmission, which also contained a subtle aura of star power.

However, compared to the star power cultivated normally, this aura contained an indescribable sense of holiness.

She, who also cultivated the power of stars, felt this sacred aura and her body trembled involuntarily.

Looking at the Celestial Elephant God, a thought subconsciously surfaced in her mind: "Has a primordial deity born from the power of the stars appeared in this world?"
