Chapter 743: Heavenly Tribulation, my son, your long-lost father has come!

In the battleground of the two Tribulation Crossing Venerables, although it was in the Sword Sea Starry Sky, the spreading aura of the laws still destroyed an island that was devoid of life at the time.

When some beings returned from crossing the sea, they were dumbfounded, staring at the empty, fragmented island floating on the sea, standing silently for a whole hour before reacting.

Thousands of cries pierced the sky, filled with grief and anger: "Where is our ancestral land?!! Where is our ancestor's immortal tomb!!"

After years of going out to sea as a clan to hunt sea beasts, they return to find their home gone?!

Does this grand world of immortals still have rules?! Is there still immortal law in the Mengmu Sea Region?!

This island was bought by their ancestor with a large amount of mid-grade spirit stones, considered a precious legacy, and was recorded in the Southern Yu Immortal Palace. Who would dare to be so bold!

The impact of this matter was quite negative, prompting the Southern Yu Immortal Palace to personally send a Unity True Lord to handle the aftermath.

They rebuilt the island with the palace's magical artifacts and compensated with a large amount of immortal resources, worth several times the island's value, finally calming the anger of those beings.

However, the relationship between the Southern Yu Immortal Palace and the Li Chen Immortal Palace remained unresolved, previously hidden in the shadows, now openly displayed.

Ji Yan sensed the timing was right and issued hundreds of orders; the plan to devour the Southern Yu Continent officially began!

In the following year, the portraits in the Star Pivot Prison Pavilion dimmed and vanished one after another, with a dozen beings evaporating in an instant. Some fell in the land of the Flood Dragon clan of the Eight Veins.

Some perished in the Nether Sea Abyss, and some were inexplicably slain by the Chi family of the Southern Yu Continent.

Some tried to flee in panic, only to have their souls extracted and bones refined by passing evil cultivators, but those evil cultivators didn't fare well either, being captured into the Immortal Prison, with someone backing them, rumored to be from the Dark Heaven Alliance...

At this time, the Void Refinement Immortal Prison in the grand world was once again in turmoil.

One by one, bloody figures slowly rose from the ground, revealing bloodthirsty smiles in the darkness: "Hey, we've been in the Immortal Prison for thousands of years, and Lord Ji Yan has sent a message..."

"Is it finally time for us to emerge..."

"It seems all threats have been cleared, and Lord Crossing the World's immortal fruit was truly delicious, can't wait any longer."

"Hehehe... I heard Lord Crossing the World has perished, but the blood spirit essence he left behind has been completely absorbed by us."

"Hah, even if you choked on spiritual qi, Lord Crossing the World wouldn't die. It's time to have some fun, break through to the Unity stage, and then return to the Immortal Prison."

"Are we going to snatch again?"

"Lord Ji Yan ordered to eliminate everyone, find the extremely evil sinners there, the outside world is not peaceful, there are strong ones watching from the sky, it really scares me, I can only hide in the Immortal Prison."

"There are fellow Daoists waiting in the Unity Immortal Prison, hurry up, a day without devouring the blood and flesh of living beings makes me hungry... heh, heh."

"Slay the Nine Heavens, there's plenty to eat, let's get out, someone is waiting outside."

"Lord Ji Yan is truly thorough, I wonder if he still needs concubines?"

"Get lost, you ghost hag, your words disgust me."

...

Hundreds of voices echoed in the depths of the Void Refinement Immortal Prison, emitting eerie laughter.

They walked step by step on the ground, of various races and forms, surrounded by overwhelming murderous aura.

The sinners of the Immortal Prison trembled like sieves, their faces pale, the legendary extremely evil sinners... true bloodthirsty maniacs, born for slaughter!

It was said these beings should never leave the prison, either sitting in meditation until death or killing each other here, purely tools to deter ordinary sinners.

But... how could they be released?! Could there be a powerful protector outside?!

Outside the Immortal Prison, the Golden-Eyed Illusion Demon Clan was ready.

Releasing these people from prison naturally had the backing of strong ones above, ensuring they wouldn't go out and wreak havoc.

Moreover, those strong ones offered an irresistible price of immortal resources, making the impossible possible...

At first glance, it seemed unreasonable, but upon closer thought, it was quite reasonable.

From this moment, the massive garbage recycling plant system began to operate fiercely under Ji Yan's command, even the Celestial Sky Domain had major sects responding, all looking up to the garbage recycling plant!

...

In the Great World of Taiyi, within the Wild Heaven Region.

Chen Xun and Black Bull finally figured out the general map of the entire region, no longer wandering aimlessly.

They were now deep in the region of the Jade Canopy Forest Sea, where the Wanshou Mountain Range, stretching millions of miles, was but a drop in the ocean.

This region was filled with towering mountain ranges, abundant mineral veins, a place where wild beasts roamed.

It was also a place where many major sects stood, and who knows, if you explore deep into the mountains, you might find some strange hidden ancient sect standing tall, wouldn't that be a stroke of fortune?!

Inside a thatched hut.

With a thatched roof and wooden walls, simple yet tranquil, at the entrance of the hut hung a plaque with the words 'See Heaven and Earth' inscribed in bold strokes.

Inside the hut, Chen Xun sat cross-legged on a mat made from the hide of a wild beast, wearing a white robe that fluttered with the breeze, blending with the surrounding nature.

Chen Xun brewed a pot of hot tea, the candlelight flickered, and a gentle breeze wafted a faint tea fragrance.

A pot of hot tea sat on a wooden table beside him, the light tea aroma filled the air, exuding a pleasant fragrance.

Warm light streamed through the window, casting on his face.

His face bore the marks of time, yet held a serene and calm expression, like a deep lake, seemingly tranquil but containing endless wisdom and experience.

Black Bull stretched its body and lay quietly beside him, its deep eyes reflecting the passage of time, as if seeing through the changes of the world.

In the entire hut, apart from the gentle sound of the breeze, there was almost no movement, one man and one bull coexisting harmoniously with heaven and earth.

Chen Xun lifted his teacup, took a sip of hot tea, the refreshing aroma filling his mouth, as if his mind was unfolding.

He smiled as he gazed out the window, the scenery of the Jade Canopy Forest Sea was breathtaking, like a magnificent painting unfurling before his eyes.

Tap...

Footsteps sounded outside the hut, a tall man gradually approached, his eyes filled with absolute respect, stopping at the hut's entrance, it was Tai Yu.

"Senior."

"What is it?"

"We haven't found the beings in the portrait, but discovered two Great Ascension Venerables of the Ghost Face Clan also searching for them, which might be detrimental to the ones you seek."

"Noted, no need to interfere."

"During these hundreds of years of travel, I discovered a late-stage Great Ascension cultivator attempting to cross the tribulation, but it brought disaster to his sect..."

Buzz—

Before Tai Yu could finish, two terrifyingly powerful auras surged within the hut, his pupils contracted, and he lowered his head even more.

"Tai Yu, lead the way, helping those in need is the duty of an immortal!"

Chen Xun's white robe fluttered as he appeared outside the hut, speaking eloquently, "The enmity between both sides can be resolved in the future, but the matter of crossing the tribulation cannot be delayed, forcibly interrupting someone's tribulation is an act against heaven, the way of evil cultivators."

"Moo!!" Black Bull snorted, its eyes wide open, expressing strong agreement, even taking out the Merit Ledger.

"Senior..." Tai Yu's mouth twitched, this senior wasn't saying that when he suppressed him with one hand back then.

"Lead the way, and I'll waive your debt of ten thousand top-grade spirit stones."

"Alright! Senior!" Tai Yu's eyes sharpened, no longer hesitating, "But that cultivator's rule power isn't strong enough, under the heavenly tribulation, he might fall, unable to withstand it."

"No matter, let's go."

"Moo moo~"

"Yes."

...

Three figures soared into the sky, heading towards the sect's domain, a hint of excitement flashed in Chen Xun's eyes as he subconsciously gripped the mountain-axing axe crafted at the refining shop.

Heavenly tribulation, my child, your two long-lost fathers have arrived!
