Chapter 596: Return to the Mengmu Sea Region

On the platform.

Nangong Heling, dressed in a white gown, had a rosy complexion. Beside her sat the massive Little Chi, its lion-like face looking dumbfounded as it stared at the colossal object slowly moving away.

In its heart, it imagined a thousand scenarios of Chen Xun and Black Bull encountering space turbulence. Until it saw them in person, it couldn't completely put its mind at ease.

The five from Wild Gold watched with calm eyes, their divine sense covering a ten-mile radius. Miss Nangong's status was becoming increasingly special, and there was no telling if any assassins might launch a surprise attack.

In the void, the eyes of five elders narrowed slightly, suddenly looking towards the peak of a mountain. It was the master of the Li Chen Immortal Palace, the small boundary cultivator who dared to challenge the Xuanwei Heavenly Venerable in his youth!

"It's him, the Venerable of Longevity, the guardian of the Mengmu Sea Region."

"In his youth, his fame shook Xuanwei Heaven, known far and wide as the one who split the heavens with a single sword in a small boundary, immensely powerful."

"Training in the Mengmu Sea Region, even the power of rules surpassed ours... If not for the limitations of his spiritual roots and the suppression by the Immortal Palace, he might have turned the Wild Heaven Region upside down."

"That's why being suppressed by the Southern Yu Immortal Palace in this sea region isn't without reason. The strongest immortal in the small boundary, his heart is not at peace."

...

At this point, they exchanged a glance and stopped speaking, not wanting to get too involved in the disputes between the Immortal Palace and the small boundary, preferring to guard the path in peace.

But beyond their duties, they couldn't be blamed for watching. The Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance governed the nine great worlds, granted authority by the strongest myriad clans of Boundless, which was beyond their power to oppose.

However, Old Woman Yunying slightly raised her head, a mysterious smile on her lips. She had high hopes for Nangong Heling, especially her elder brother, Chen Xun!

Yin Tianshou stood with his hands behind his back on the mountaintop, smiling and nodding towards the five, with no malice between them.

"Chen Xun, Black Bull, it's been nearly four hundred years since your journey to the Tower of Babel..."

He murmured, his words drifting with the mountain wind, "Don't tell me you've been in there all this time. If that's true, you might just break through the heavens..."

As Yin Tianshou spoke, he stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes full of anticipation. He had only stayed inside for over a thousand years, which was his limit, nearly costing him his life.

In the outside world, it had only been a little over a hundred years. If they had truly stayed that long, their future would be much brighter than his.

Buzz—

A vast docking sound echoed in all directions as the colossal object came to a complete stop. The defensive formations began to dissipate, and a golden portal slowly opened from within.

At this moment, everyone's eyes turned towards this direction, filled with anticipation, shock, reverence, and confusion...

"Fat Song, this space ship is not bad, fitting for my status."

Suddenly, an untimely voice rang out, and Gu Lisheng spoke calmly, "I just wonder how much it's worth. Over the years, I've saved some from picking up trash."

"Lisheng!" Song Heng growled, quickly pulling Gu Lisheng aside, "Don't speak recklessly. There are not just the factory owner's forces here. Have you forgotten that pretty boy? He's very petty, you know?"

"Heh, Ji Yan, is it? I've heard of him, but so what? I, Gu..."

"Lisheng! In the future, we'll build space ships with Brother Dog and fly over the ancestral land of Misty. Let's not dwell on this matter now."

"Oh? Interesting, alright."

"That's more like it."

Song Heng laughed heartily, patting his belly, secretly relieved to have changed the subject.

Gu Lisheng had never been convinced by anyone, not even the factory owner. He still held a grudge over the fishing competition, claiming the Fishing Emperor had schemed against him that night!

Mo Fuyang's expression was somber as he suddenly spoke from the side, "Young Master Gu, you once said you came from Star Swallowing Immortal City and even had a marriage agreement with Chi Ye?"

He had learned about these things on Li Chen Island over the years, never expecting that the ones scheming against Miss Nangong were the Chi family. He would settle this score one by one; no one could harm the Dao Ancestor's family!

They had once thought Gu Lisheng was boasting, but when that immortal figure appeared, who dared to doubt?

Now, every word he spoke made them ponder deeply, wondering if it was true or false.

Song Heng raised an eyebrow, looking at Gu Lisheng with some confusion, as if to say, "Did you really have such a thing?"

"Did I say that?" Gu Lisheng's eyes widened as he looked at Mo Fuyang, "Fellow Daoist Mo, I don't recall such a thing."

Mo Fuyang was taken aback, wondering if it was really just Gu boasting. But that was before the arrival of the ten thousand troops, and after their arrival, he had completely lost his memory.

However, he furrowed his brow slightly. Even if it was boasting, why would Young Master Gu boast about the Chi family, especially with a specific location like Star Swallowing Immortal City? It couldn't be that simple.

He then smiled and said, "Young Master Gu, perhaps I remembered incorrectly."

Gu Lisheng gave a cold smile, waving his hand, then suddenly looked at Song Heng, who was deep in thought, "Fat Song, there are too many female cultivators pursuing me. It's possible I forgot, unlike you, hehe."

"What?!"

Song Heng roared, looking at Gu Lisheng with eyes full of mockery, disdain, and a hint of "you're not good enough," "Gu Chuiniu, how dare you insult me with female cultivators?!"

"It's the truth. In terms of looks and temperament, you can't compare to me."

"Brother Dog!"

"Fatty, what are you shouting about? Brother Xun!! Brother Bull!!"

Little Chi, uninterested in the banter, casually responded, but then it suddenly became excited, letting out a roar. They had come out.

"Eldest Brother, Second Brother!!"

"Greetings, Seniors!"

...

All the cultivators on the platform straightened their expressions, bowing their heads in respect. Even Gu Lisheng's expression froze, no longer arrogant, as he still relied on the factory owner for his spirit stones.

In the golden portal.

Chen Xun and Black Bull were the first to step out, their faces wearing gentle smiles, exuding no hint of intimidation.

Yet the five from Wild Gold had their expressions change slightly, feeling an overwhelming pressure crashing down on them!

They quickly bowed, eyes filled with astonishment. Wasn't the power of the Great Dao a bit too terrifying...

The five in the void were also shocked. What just happened in that instant?! Miss Nangong's elder brother had just broken through to Unity, right? Why did their rule power tremble?!!

On the mountaintop, Yin Tianshou's smiling face also turned stiff in an instant, his eyes flashing with brilliance. Such powerful Great Dao force, yet he only sensed it without probing.

Due to the distance, and because the man and bull hid it well, even the Great Ascension Venerable couldn't discern their true cultivation, only feeling that breaking through to Unity was the normal path of immortality.

On the space platform.

A fragrant breeze and a red whirlwind swept in as Little Crane and Little Chi appeared before Chen Xun and Black Bull, their eyes and faces brimming with the joy of reunion.

Boom—

A series of thick, oppressive auras emanated from behind, causing the surrounding atmosphere to change dramatically. A murderous aura filled the air, with over ten thousand Unity realm experts following closely.

Their gazes swept across the four directions, eyes filled with a natural cold killing intent.

All the cultivators felt as if they were in an ice cellar, their expressions frozen... What force in the Mengmu Sea Region could muster such a terrifying number of Unity realm experts?!

The five from Wild Gold suddenly felt as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs, unbearably oppressive. Blood vessels burst in their eyes, yet their divine sense remained around Nangong Heling.

An eerie silence enveloped the surroundings, the faces of cultivators from various clans turning pale, their heartbeats heavy and labored, as if an invisible force was squeezing them, leaving them almost breathless.

They looked at each other, eyes filled with fear and helplessness. Wasn't this a bit too exaggerated... Who would dare speak loudly to this garbage recycling plant in the Mengmu Sea Region in the future?

Today's news began to spread in all directions, while Ji Yan merely smiled slightly on the high platform.

This was the effect he wanted. Only by showcasing some power would the path ahead be smoother.

The expressions of the five Great Ascension Venerables from the Wild Heaven Region also grew increasingly solemn. Could it be that within a mere thousand years, they were truly witnessing the rise of a colossal power...

Yunying's eyes brightened as she made a decision in her heart. She didn't plan to return to the Wild Heaven Region for now. These Unity juniors, with at least a thousand strands of Great Dao force, had a lifespan of eleven thousand years.

Even if they were all stuck at the Void Refinement phase with a lifespan of seven thousand years, they would still have at least four thousand years left, enough for her, this old undying, to witness the journey. With no hope for the path of immortality, she might as well enjoy the scenery along the way.

Yunying's smile deepened, her gaze turning to Nangong Heling, hoping Miss Nangong wouldn't mind having an old lady like her around.
