The sun and moon are both wrong; who made him seek the Dharma

In the deepest corner of the secret realm, a seemingly ordinary young man in white, who kept his head down, nodded slowly along with the others.

Hai Shan felt that Yuan Shoucheng's words made a lot of sense.

On the day of the conference, he would accompany Ye Chen to confront Hai Shan and demand an explanation.

In this tacit atmosphere, the anti-Penglai alliance meeting concluded successfully.

……

The day of the conference.

Outside Penglai Island, auspicious clouds stretched endlessly, and divine light soared into the sky.

Seekers from all over the world rode different magical treasures and continuously ascended to the island along the passage that had been opened up in advance by Penglai.

Flying boats, wooden kites, cloud carriages, magic swords, and even a mountain that had been uprooted and transformed into a transportation magic weapon, completely blocked the sky around Penglai.

The disciples from Penglai responsible for receiving guests were busy from dawn until noon, and the registration jade registers had been changed a full seventeen times.

Xia Chuan, Gao Haoguang, and Hai Shan were also among the crowd.

Gao Haoguang originally didn't want to come.

In his view, the conference process, the demonstration of techniques, and the way to open up the path to immortality had already been simulated tens of thousands of times by the Wan Dao Weaving Machine.

As long as the disciples of Penglai follow the established plan, there is absolutely no possibility of any accidents.

But Hai Shan said he wanted him to see the current state of the supernatural world with his own eyes.

After all, Gao Haoguang had been gone for too long.

Over the past two decades, although the supernatural world has always been under the shadow of the myriad affairs, it has also seen the emergence of many interesting new people and supernatural abilities.

As for Xia Chuan.

He was just there for the fun of it.

He has witnessed the destruction of the world, fought against the Creator, and even extracted the myriad karmas of another world from the cycle of cause and effect.

What interests him now are these trivial things that are not dangerous but rather strange and unusual.

"Look!"

Hai Shan's eyes suddenly lit up as he pointed to a burly figure in the crowd.

"Is that Wang Meng from the Heavenly Dao Pavilion?"

"It is said that his swordsmanship has reached a level of divine skill, and he is rarely matched among the great supernatural beings of our time."

Xia Chuan followed his gaze.

The man was eight feet tall, with broad shoulders and a wide back, and his muscles were like piled-up rocks.

On his back was a heavy iron sword, almost as tall as a person.

The iron blade trembled slightly with Wang Meng's footsteps, constantly emitting a deep, resonant sound, as if it were excited by the aura of the countless powerful figures around it.

Someone nearby recognized him and exclaimed in surprise.

"It really is Wang Meng!"

"I heard that he has already reached the state of oneness with the sword, but because his strength is too great, he has not really made a move all these years."

Xia Chuan listened with some confusion.

"If he has become one with the sword, why is he still carrying a sword on his back?"

Hai Shan answered matter-of-factly:

"When man and knife become one, knife can transform into man, and man can naturally transform into knife."

He pointed to the iron knife on Wang Meng's back.

That's his wife.

Xia Chuan: "?"

He looked again at the heavy iron sword.

There are several extremely rounded notches along the edge of the blade, their position and arrangement appearing strangely subtle.

Xia Chuan opened his mouth several times.

In the end, I chose not to ask anything.

There are some things that are better left unsaid.

Just then, another gasp came from the crowd.

A thin, gloomy-faced middle-aged man walked past the registration area.

He carried no magical artifacts, yet those seeking his teachings avoided him, fearing any contact with him.

Hai Shan's eyes lit up.

"And that one, Ma Jun from the Abyss Gate."

"Twenty years ago, his innate divine power, [Devouring Heaven and Earth], was already extremely terrifying."

When fighting him, you must be prepared to have your hands and feet swallowed whole.

People nearby were whispering among themselves.

"I heard that Senior Ma believes that killing is inauspicious, so he has not used his innate supernatural powers for many years."

Upon hearing this, Gao Haoguang frowned slightly.

"I heard it was because he fought against Gu Shifang back then."

When activating [Devouring Heaven and Earth], the range wasn't properly controlled, and a nearby toilet was swallowed up as well.

"He never used that supernatural power again after that."

Xia Chuan gasped, his gaze instantly turning horrified.

Does this supernatural power also have a sense of taste?

Not far away, Ma Jun paused in his steps.

He turned his head angrily, clearly intending to teach those guys who openly talked about him a lesson.

But when they turned their gazes, they met the curious eyes of an unknown Eternal Treasure Creator and an unknown Talisman Master.

Ma Jun's anger froze for a moment.

He then gave a heavy snort and turned to leave.

Forget it.

Today is a grand gathering in Penglai.

It is not advisable to take action.

Near the registration location, disciples from various sects gathered in a circle.

Whenever someone recognizes a powerful figure who only exists in rumors, a gasp of surprise ripples through the crowd.

There are only about two hundred people with great supernatural powers on the entire Earth. Most of them stay in their sects and rarely go out.

Now, they're all flocking to Penglai like they're going to a fair, which shows just how influential this conference is.

Suddenly, Hai Shan raised an eyebrow.

"Senior brother, there are several powerful cultivators over there."

Gao Haoguang followed his gaze.

"really."

"And they even disguised themselves."

Xia Chuan immediately became interested.

There are only a little over two hundred great supernatural beings in the entire supernatural world.

Even if they weren't familiar with each other, they had at least seen the portrait and heard about the basic information.

We see each other all the time, so why would we need to pretend to attend such a public conference?

"Let's go take a look."

The three of them walked towards the crowd.

Meanwhile, several powerful individuals who had already recognized each other stood at the edge of the registration line, caught in an extremely awkward silence.

"Brother Yuan."

A middle-aged man looked at the white-haired old man in front of him with a strange tone.

What are you doing here?

"Didn't we agree beforehand that neither of us would come today?"

Yuan Shoucheng's face flushed slightly.

Fortunately, he was prepared and immediately coughed lightly, putting on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance.

"I came here with Ye Chen to seek an explanation from Penglai."

After saying that, he immediately retorted, "Sister Lin, what are you doing here?"

Not far away, Lin Xi, whose face was mostly covered by a magical artifact, remained expressionless.

"I'm also here to help Ye Chen get an explanation."

Yuan Shoucheng then looked at the others.

"Then you..."

"What a coincidence."

"We are equally worried about Ye Chen."

"Penglai is powerful, and Brother Ye has a strong and unyielding character. If they take advantage of their power to bully us, how can we sit idly by?"

"exactly."

The group exchanged forced, insincere pleasantries.
