Chapter 56 Biyou Palace!
Beneath the desolate mountain, celestial music lingered, and the purple aura had not yet dissipated.
The Tongtian Sect Leader looked at the composed and unassuming young man in black robes holding the Qingping Jade Token, and his eyes were practically overflowing with satisfaction.
"Yuan'er."
The Tongtian Sect Leader stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the shores of the East China Sea.
"Now that you have joined my Jie Sect and have been personally appointed by me as my ninth disciple, this desolate wilderness is no longer a place for you to linger."
"The chessboard of this great calamity of the gods is vast and boundless. Although you have extraordinary comprehension and have cultivated an unparalleled Dao body that can harmonize water and fire, you are still stuck in this mortal world, and your vision is somewhat narrow."
With a wave of his sleeve, the Tongtian Sect Leader unleashed a powerful surge of saintly strength, instantly sealing off the surrounding void.
"Walk!"
"Today, I will take you back to Jin'ao Island to acknowledge your ancestors and return to your clan!"
"Go and meet your renowned senior brothers and sisters, and see what it truly means for all immortals to pay homage!"
Before he could finish speaking...
The Master of Heaven pointed his fingers like a sword and lightly slashed across the void in front of him.
"Sizzle—"
The primordial barrier of space was easily cut open by the sage's fingertips, as fragile as a windowpane.
A void rift emanating chaotic energy suddenly appeared!
Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
This is the method of a sage!
No need for any earth-shaking golden light, no need for any cloud-riding, in the blink of an eye, one can fold space and traverse billions of miles of mountains and rivers.
"Quack?"
The chubby thunder frog crouching at Lin Yuan's feet felt the terrifying tearing force emanating from the void rift. Its big eyes widened in fright, and its two thick hind legs gripped the rubble on the ground, not daring to move an inch.
"You good-for-nothing, stick close to me."
Lin Yuan chuckled, leaped up, and sat steadily cross-legged on the broad back of the Thunder Frog.
Then, the man and the frog transformed into a bolt of purple lightning, closely following behind the Tongtian Sect Leader, and disappeared into the bottomless void rift.
……
at the same time.
At the far end of the East China Sea lies Jin'ao Island.
This is the true primordial holy land, a sacred realm of cultivation that countless rogue cultivators and powerful demons dream of entering!
The island is shrouded in ethereal mist, which transforms into a tangible spiritual fog that flows through the mountains.
Ancient trees reach for the sky, and birds and animals frolic in the mountain streams.
At the very center of Jin'ao Island, a magnificent palace, exuding an aura of eternal power and majesty, stands quietly amidst the purple mist.
Biyou Palace!
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The purple-gold bronze bell hanging above Biyou Palace suddenly moved on its own without any wind, emitting three long and resonant chimes that shook the heavens.
The bell tolls, and all the immortals gather!
"The sect leader has returned to the island!"
"Quickly, proceed to Biyou Palace to await the imperial decree!"
In an instant, the entire Jin'ao Island was in an uproar.
Countless streams of light shot into the sky from the immortal mountains and caves in all directions, like a dazzling meteor shower, all converging on the white jade square in front of Biyou Palace.
In less than half an incense stick's time.
The enormous square, large enough to hold 100,000 people, was already teeming with people, and the air was filled with an ethereal atmosphere.
The saying "Ten thousand immortals came to pay homage" is no exaggeration!
At the very front of those white jade steps stood several core powerhouses whose aura dominated the entire area, inspiring awe and reverence in all immortals.
The fat Taoist leading the group, dressed in a brocade Taoist robe, had a kind face, but above his head hovered the phantoms of thousands of innate spiritual treasures. He was none other than Duobao Taoist, the chief disciple of the Jie Sect!
On the left, a burly man with black beard and black hair sat astride a strange black tiger, surrounded by the terrifying aura of twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls. He was none other than Zhao Gongming, the chief disciple of the outer sect!
On the right, three stunningly beautiful women, each with a unique charm, stand side by side.
Yunxiao is dignified and elegant, Qiongxiao is heroic and spirited, and Bixiao is charming and lively.
"Senior Brother."
Bixiao blinked her bright eyes, moved closer to Daoist Duobao, and asked in a low voice.
"Master personally went to find that mysterious fellow disciple who secretly froze time and space and intercepted the cause and effect of the Chan Sect. The bell is ringing so urgently, he must have found him?"
Daoist Duobao patted his round belly, his eyes full of anticipation.
"It can't be wrong!"
"With Master on the task, how could we possibly return empty-handed?"
"Everyone, keep your eyes peeled. Someone who can make Taiyi Zhenren suffer a setback, someone whose origins are unpredictable even to Master Yuanshi, and who even possesses such a heaven-defying ancient treasure—that's definitely a reclusive old monster who has existed for countless eons!"
Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and laughed heartily, his heroic spirit soaring to the clouds.
"Hahaha, who cares if he's an old monster or a great power? As long as he cultivates my Shangqing Immortal Light, he's a brother of my Jie Sect!"
"When this great being appears, we must greet him with the highest level of courtesy and make sure he doesn't feel that Jin'ao Island has been neglected."
Listening to the conversation of the core experts, all the immortals in the back craned their necks and held their breath.
Everyone was frantically imagining the image of that mysterious fellow disciple.
He must be an extremely powerful being with white hair, an otherworldly demeanor, and the laws of the Great Dao accompanying every move he makes!
Perhaps, he is a quasi-saint at the Great Perfection who survived the ancient Lich War and joined the Jie Sect with his skills.
Just as Wan Xian was eagerly anticipating the moment, and the atmosphere was built to its peak.
"Buzz—"
The void above Biyou Palace suddenly distorted.
A vast, boundless, and supreme saintly pressure, like a celestial river pouring down, instantly enveloped the entire Golden Turtle Island.
"Welcome back to the palace, Master!"
Daoist Duobao was the first to kneel down.
"Welcome, Your Excellency, Sect Leader!"
Ten thousand immortals knelt in unison on the white jade square, their voices shaking the East Sea and their aura reaching the heavens.
The void cracked open.
The Tongtian Sect Leader, clad in a purple celestial robe and bathed in a cloud of purple mist, stepped out from the crack.
He landed on the highest jade steps in front of Biyou Palace, his gaze sweeping over the respectful immortals below, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Get up, everyone."
The immortals rose, but all their gazes were fixed on the void rift behind the Tongtian Sect Leader.
They're waiting!
Waiting for that earth-shattering, reclusive old monster to appear!
"Croak—"
Suddenly, a crisp, even somewhat silly and foolish croaking sound came from the void rift.
The sound seemed so abrupt and so... out of place in front of the solemn, ethereal Biyou Palace.
Wan Xian was stunned.
The smile on Duobao Daoist's face froze.
Zhao Gongming's hand, which was stroking his beard, forcefully tore off two black whiskers.
"Bang."
A fat toad, the size of a small hill, with a round belly and big, clear, foolish eyes, leaped out of the void rift and landed on the white jade steps.
As soon as Thunder Frog landed, it curled its long tongue and, in front of all the immortals, swallowed a spirit butterfly that had flown over the jade steps in an extremely inelegant manner, before letting out a satisfied burp.
And on the back of that fat toad...
Sitting cross-legged was a young man in a black robe, with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and wildly dancing black hair!
