Protagonist:

Yu Zhangsheng

"From now on, this place shall no longer be called Jiaolong Island; it shall be named Wanxiang Island!"

Mountains and rivers descended, and every blade of grass and tree of Wanxiang Sect re-emerged upon this Jiaolong Island in the Beihai Domain.

It was as if someone, with absolute great divine ability, had fished them up from the long river of time, causing them to surface into the present world.

The aura belonging to Wanxiang Sect, utterly distinct from the taste of the ocean, permeated this place, rising slowly across a thousand-li territory.

Spiritual Qi converged frantically, and muffled thunder slowly exploded.

"Boom—!"

Lightning streaked across the sky, the starry sky flickered; beneath the radiance, Wei Lao's eyes were bright, his smile radiant.

"Wanxiang Island, Wanxiang Sect, shall rise once more in this foreign land."

Yu Zhangsheng pondered, watching the surging phenomena around him, sharp light flashing in his eyes, looking thoughtful; he could faintly sense that when Wanxiang Sect fully descended upon this place, the fluctuation of laws was obvious, as if a collision had occurred.

Regarding this, Wei Lao chuckled lightly and explained:

"The Xuan Tian Realm is vast and boundless, impossible to measure; within it exist the Eight Domains, each domain's land has its own customs, its territory boundless; between domain and domain, there exist obvious distinctions, merely differences in magnitude."

"For instance, the South Domain abounds in plains, while the Beihai Domain is covered in marshes and seas, mostly islands; the root cause of such enormous disparity in terrain and topography lies in the fact that each domain possesses a unique set of operating origin rules, mutually distinct, each standing alone, cycling endlessly without exhaustion."

"Yet, under their combined composition, they jointly constitute the foundation of the Xuan Tian Realm; when we originally chose to relocate Wanxiang Sect's eight-hundred-li territory together, rather than merely bringing people over, there was actually another layer of consideration."

"What consideration?"

Yu Zhangsheng's gaze sharpened, and he asked curiously.

Wei Lao laughed heartily and said:

"The eight-hundred-li territory brought by the Xuan Turtle does not belong to the Beihai Domain; that is South Domain soil. What was brought, besides this territory on the surface, were also the laws and origins belonging to the South Domain upon this piece of territory, placing them above the Beihai Domain."

"The two law origins are largely the same, yet also have some differences; upon fusion they will produce collisions, arousing Dao rhyme, and will also generate more possibilities; for our Wanxiang Sect cultivators, this can be used to enhance aptitude to a certain degree, and after the two soils fuse, more new variables will also make the density of spiritual Qi here far surpass the ordinary, including the stability and activity level of laws, which other places cannot compare to."

"For cultivators, the wonderful uses are endless; in fact, all Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands have this kind of rule collision and fusion."

Wei Lao laughed heartily, explaining patiently; Yu Zhangsheng suddenly realized, sensing the movements around him, and nodded.

"If it were not so, I would not have needed to go to such great trouble, troubling the Xuan Turtle to carry such a heavy territory; what Wanxiang Sect separated from Wuzhou was not merely as simple as mountains, rivers, and land, but also the corresponding origin laws belonging to this piece of South Domain territory; these are the key points."

"So that is how it is."

Yu Zhangsheng nodded; the surrounding spiritual Qi was still climbing upward, its density almost turning into mist; waves slapped against the shore one after another; lightning in the sky dome occasionally swept across, tearing the sky, emitting a dim glow, sending down divine might.

Moonlight and starlight simultaneously tilted down; the original Jiaolong Island, now Wanxiang Island, had long since expanded by more than a circle, suppressing a thousand-li range; upon the island, countless trees grew frantically, and even some living beings' cultivation bases broke through by this means, roaring incessantly.

Clamor erupted and rose; among them, Wanxiang Sect cultivators discussed animatedly, their expressions excited, sensing the changes around them, not understanding the reason yet exceptionally excited.

The sect relocation could be considered thoroughly complete, and also ended the half-year sea voyage.

"Wei Lao."

On the mountain peak, several figures quickly flew over — precisely Zheng Tianheng and Yuan Menghua and other sect high-level members; they suddenly came to their senses and hurried over to Yu Zhangsheng and Wei Lao's side, their expressions carrying a trace of excitement as they cupped fists and respectfully greeted Wei Lao.

"Mm."

Wei Lao's expression returned to calm, and he said lightly: "These past few months have wronged you all; now, you must have been stifled long enough; finally I've let you out; from now on, this place shall be our Wanxiang Sect's new base; how do you find it?"

Yuan Menghua was startled; he released his Divine Sense, scanned the surroundings once, his expression moved slightly, he let out a long breath of turbid Qi, and said:

"Have we arrived at the Beihai Domain? No wonder the water element fluctuations are so heavy; it's quite good, the surroundings are also relatively peaceful, and the density of spiritual Qi is even much richer than when we were in Wuzhou."

"Developing here, probably won't take long before the disciples' cultivation bases surely break through one by one; aptitude might even change; for us it's a good thing; we'll choose this place, it's also stable."

Yuan Menghua was ultimately still a veteran Sub-Talisman; his knowledge and experience were far beyond what ordinary people could compare; merely sensing briefly, he perceived much information; thus he suppressed the excitement in his heart, his tone generous, and nodded in approval.

As his words fell, Yuan Menghua pondered, raised his head to glance at the changed sky, his fingers rapidly pinching hand seals, constantly changing; streams of Dao Wen shot out, guiding heaven and earth spiritual Qi; one sect-protecting great array after another rose up, enveloping the entire island, concealing the movements within.

"Spirit Gathering Array!"

"Star Drawing Array!"

"Breath Concealment Array!"

"Sect-Protecting Great Array!"

…………

One great array after another rose up; the dazzling radiance was all concealed; only the spiritual Qi from all four directions still converged frantically; laws became even more active and flourishing.

Viewed from the outside, Wanxiang Sect seemed ordinary, not eye-catching at all.

But inside, earth-shaking changes were occurring; starlight like water, moonlight like silver, laws like springs, spiritual Qi like seas...

On the island, the mountains and rivers belonging to Wuzhou and the original Jiaolong Island were still fusing; amidst collision, infinite Dao rhyme was born, triggering mountain and river tremors, spiritual Qi like tides.

Mountain ranges undulated, rumbling incessantly; a hundred-li canyon formed, splitting horizontally across one side; a heaven-piercing mountain rose up, spiritual light winding around; a thousand-li river wound and coiled; towering great trees stood tall; among them, Wanxiang Sect's five Main Peaks stood respectively in the five directions of Wanxiang Sect, like five heavenly pillars, supporting heaven and standing on earth, spiritual Qi turning to mist and coiling around; within, living beings and cultivators were all radiant, spirits invigorated.

Underground, the original embryonic Spirit Veins were also urged to mature rapidly; three Spirit Veins grew intertwined, unceasing, making the entire island appear increasingly extraordinary and not simple.

Magnificent bearing, truly a scene of an immortal mountain; everything in the scene was like a fairyland, moving the heart; this is an opportunity belonging to all of Wanxiang Sect. "We really must hide it well; although there probably aren't any other major powers nearby that can threaten our Wanxiang Sect, one cannot guarantee that some ill-intentioned people won't see Wanxiang Sect as it is now and have other ideas."

"Right now we still focus on development; newly arrived in the Beihai Domain, let's try not to provoke trouble."

Yuan Menghua smiled faintly, looking at Yu Zhangsheng and Wei Lao; after raising the arrays in the four directions, sharp light flashed in his eyes; he let out a long breath of turbid Qi and continued asking:

"These days have troubled Wei Lao and Changsheng; was the journey smooth?"

"Not bad, dangerous but safe."

Yu Zhangsheng smiled faintly and answered thus.

Wei Lao also nodded lightly, expression calm, and said: "If there are no objections, then this place shall be our Wanxiang Sect's base in the Beihai Domain; I've also scouted the surrounding situation, it's fairly safe."

"The rest, just as you said, Wanxiang Sect still needs stable development; this place is just right. Internal sect matters will trouble you to attend to."

Zheng Tianheng heard this, at this moment stepped forward again, cupped fists, and said respectfully: "These are all things this junior should do; troubling Wei Lao to remember; then for the next period, it will be accelerating the sect's transformation to adapt to this environment."

"Yes," Wei Lao pondered, "Just as you said, as for some other matters, I trust you know them well enough; there's no need for me to remind you too much."

"Our Wanxiang Sect, though not yet rising from ruin to prosperity with all neglected affairs revived, can still be said to have found life in desperate straits; it is precisely a time of renaissance and soaring, and we must seize this opportunity."

"Understood, Junior will keep it in mind."

Zheng Tianheng respectfully cupped his fists and said.

"Then, Wei Lao, do you have any other arrangements?"

Yuan Menghua stroked his beard and asked curiously.

"This place is no longer far from Hai Shou Tian Dao," Wei Lao pondered slightly, fell silent for a moment, then continued, "After settling in at Wanxiang Sect, I will take Changsheng to continue on to Hai Shou Tian Dao to visit an old friend, and by the way, let Changsheng temper himself within Hai Shou Tian Dao."

"With my disciple's talent, staying on in Wanxiang Sect would make it hard to achieve anything. Upon first arriving in Beihai Yu, it is a brand new Tian Di, more suitable for Changsheng's development."

When Wei Lao mentioned Yu Zhangsheng, the corner of his mouth involuntarily twitched slightly, his expression carrying a hint of pride. Yu Zhangsheng felt embarrassed and could only give an awkward laugh, while Yuan Menghua nodded in full agreement, looking as if he had expected as much, and said with a smile: "Wei Lao is right. With Changsheng's talent, staying in the Sect would truly be a waste. Since there is an opportunity to join a holy land power like Hai Shou Tian Dao, there is no reason not to go."

"Just do as you think. As for Wanxiang Sect, don't worry. With me watching over it, there shouldn't be major problems."

Yuan Menghua patted his chest and spoke with confident assurance.

"Uh..."

Yu Zhangsheng scratched his head and said nothing.

Wei Lao smiled lightly, looking at Yu Zhangsheng, sharp light flickering in his eyes, full of anticipation:

"Yes, very good. On the other hand, if Changsheng can join Hai Shou Tian Dao and shine brilliantly there, gaining favor, then for Wanxiang Sect it would undoubtedly add a layer of protection, and everything can be done more conveniently."

"Disciple understands." Yu Zhangsheng lowered his brows and cupped his fists in reply.

………

…………

In the following half month, there was a renovation of Wanxiang Island inside and out, and the law collisions and spiritual qi tides triggered by the fusion of the Earth also ceased on the night of the third day.

Fortunately, with the Formation covering it, although there was great commotion within Wanxiang Island, it did not alarm the others, and everything proceeded in an orderly fashion.

The entire island was full of life and bustling with activity. The five Main Peaks of Wanxiang Sect stood tall once more upon Wanxiang Island, every blade of grass and tree exceptionally lush and real. The disciples of Wanxiang Sect, during this time, accepted the fact that they were now in Beihai Yu. After understanding the situation around them, they began to cultivate diligently.

During this period, many disciples made breakthroughs in their Cultivation Base. Within Wanxiang Sect, it was bustling and lively, with many more people. Several docks were built near the edge of the island, quite magnificent.

A small number of local cultivators from Jiaolong Island were also willingly absorbed into Wanxiang Sect; those who refused to cooperate were eliminated. Overall, Wanxiang Island was unified, a scene of flourishing prosperity met the eye, with high morale and soaring spirits.

Under these circumstances, Yu Zhangsheng and Wei Lao stayed in the Sect for a while. After settling many matters and getting everything on track, they bid farewell to relatives and friends, then the two continued to leave Wanxiang Island, sailing toward the depths of the Hai Yu.

Worth mentioning is that this time it was not just the two of them, but three more were added—a group of five, mighty and imposing, sailing toward Hai Shou Tian Dao.

These three additional people were not from Wanxiang Sect, but Loose Cultivators from other places in Beihai Yu.

The three Loose Cultivators all had Golden Core Cultivation Bases. According to what they said, they were three sworn brothers who originally wanted to take advantage of the once-in-a-century Hai Shou Tian Dao disciple recruitment to try their luck, so they crossed Ten Thousand Li of sea to come here. Who would have known that when passing Jiaolong Island, they were caught by Han Chong to be sacrifices among those offered to the Jiaolong, imprisoned in the Chamber on the island until now. The three brothers had all despaired, but then Yu Zhangsheng appeared, using Thunderous Means to slay the Jiaolong and kill Han Chong.

Thus they were saved. Therefore, toward Yu Zhangsheng's side, they were extremely respectful. Upon hearing that Yu Zhangsheng was also going to Hai Shou Tian Dao, they volunteered to join, and could also serve as guides.

The sky was brilliant, the sea breeze gentle. Amidst the rippling blue waves, seabirds flew freely in Tian Di. The Spirit Boat sped swiftly across the boundless Sea Surface, yet very stable. Wei Lao and Yu Zhangsheng stood on the Deck, hands behind their backs, looking toward the distance.

Behind them stood the three Loose Cultivators with respectful expressions, postures relaxed, standing quietly like servants.

"Shi Huishan, according to what you said earlier, from here to the nearest Hai Shou Tian Dao, approximately how long will it take to arrive?"

After a long while, Yu Zhangsheng asked without turning his head.

Shi Huishan was the eldest of the three brothers and the one with the highest Cultivation Base, having reached Golden Core Late Stage. His age was surely much older than Yu Zhangsheng's, though he looked relatively young.

Hearing Yu Zhangsheng's question, Shi Huishan stepped forward, his face showing respect and awe, and cupped his fists to answer softly:

"Yu Dao Friend, judging by our current speed, the nearest Hai Shou Tian Dao is the East Sea Hai Shou Tian Dao. It should take less than about two months to arrive." (Chapter End)
