Chapter 606: The Ruins of Penglai Island

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Yin Qi followed Chen Xi and the others, flying rapidly through the high sky.

Soon, they flew out of the Dayong Immortal Dynasty and entered the airspace above the East Sea.

Flying at an altitude of ten thousand miles, Yin Qi looked down at the sea surface; the azure water was boundless, and countless islands, large and small, were scattered across the sea like pearls.

Some were in strings, forming island chains.

Some gathered together, forming island groups.

Others floated lonely on the sea, with nothing but emptiness for millions of miles around.

……

Five days later.

Yin Qi and his party had already penetrated hundreds of millions of miles into the East Sea.

Reaching this point, apart from cultivators, there were almost no traces of the Human Race.

This was the domain of the Sea Clan.

In a sense, the Sea Clan also belonged to the Demon Race, but very few of the Sea Clan identified themselves as the Demon Race, because the ocean was once the domain of the Dragon Clan, and many Sea Clan members possessed Dragon Clan bloodlines, considering their own bloodlines noble.

Yin Qi could not help but ask, "How much further?"

Chen Xi said, "Almost there."

Another three days passed.

Yin Qi suddenly discovered that the islands on the sea surface were gradually becoming more numerous, though these islands were not very large, with the biggest being only tens of thousands of miles in circumference.

Unlike before, he had seen large islands that were millions of miles in circumference.

Furthermore, the further they went, the denser the islands became, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, or even millions, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here was even more dense, enough to rival that within Yong City.

One must know that Yong City was painstakingly built by the Yong Emperor.

The concentration of Spirit Qi within the city was at least a hundred times that of the outside world, enough to rival many famous mountains and great rivers.

But in such a sea area, this situation should not be occurring.

Not only that, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here was also more violent; even though he was already at the peak of the Mysterious Immortal realm, it took some effort to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here, let alone for Earth Immortals and Heavenly Immortals.

Yin Qi was secretly startled and looked at Chen Xi.

Chen Xi smiled enchantingly and explained, "It's strange, right? According to ancient legends, there are three immortal islands overseas: Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou, all formed from Chaos falling into the Primordial World.

But since ancient times, only Penglai has appeared in the world.

The Penglai Immortal Island of that year was the dojo of Dong Wanggong, the head of the male immortals; he once established the Purple Mansion on Penglai Immortal Island, recruiting many immortals, and his power was extremely vast, once standing in a tripartite balance with the Witch and Demon races.

But unfortunately, the Purple Mansion was eventually destroyed by the Demon Race.

Following the fall of Dong Wanggong, Penglai Immortal Island was also shattered, turning into countless islands.

And the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here is still influenced by the battle intent from the battlefield of that year, and it has not calmed down to this day, making this treasure land rarely visited by cultivators.

However..."

Speaking of this, Chen Xi paused, then smiled mysteriously: "Penglai Immortal Island was the main battlefield back then; who knows how many powerhouses fell there, among them no lack of Great Luo Golden Immortals.

And who knows how many Post-Heaven Spirit Treasure fragments, or even Innate Spiritual Treasure fragments, were left behind.

These treasures fell into the void and only appear in the world under special circumstances.

Therefore, basically every few hundred years, treasures emerge here, and our Dayong Immortal Dynasty has scouts stationed here year-round to be able to arrive in time."

Yin Qi was secretly shocked.

The islands in this sea area were actually the former Penglai Immortal Island.

According to Chen Xi, this sea area was equivalent to a treasure fountain, spewing out treasures every so often, and among them were actually fragments of Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Although they were fragments, for cultivators below the Golden Immortal realm, they were worth a fortune.

"Princess, we've arrived!"

Yang Miaotong cheered happily.

Yin Qi hurriedly looked over and saw a piece of brilliant treasure light shooting into the sky where the sea met the sky.

"Let's go!"

Chen Xi's beautiful eyes brightened, and she immediately increased her speed.

Soon, the party arrived near the treasure light, and only then did Yin Qi discover that the source of the treasure light was over a hundred miles below the sea surface.

It was extremely empty here, with the nearest island being fifty thousand miles away.

"Eh!"

Yin Qi observed carefully and realized that the treasure light must be coming from a dimensional space; recalling what Chen Xi had said earlier about countless treasures falling into the void, he understood in his heart.

Do not think that just because there is treasure light overflowing from a dimensional space, one can follow the treasure light into the dimensional space.

Between the Primordial World and the dimensional space, there might actually be an infinite distance.

If one views the Primordial World as a large soap bubble, then countless small soap bubbles are attached around the Primordial World; these small soap bubbles can all be called dimensional spaces.

Some dimensional spaces are large and rich in Spirit Qi; those are small worlds, or Dongtian Fudi.

Some dimensional spaces are also large, but may only contain pure space.

And some dimensional spaces are very small, perhaps only a hundred cubic meters.

They are stacked in layers, and no one knows how many there are.

Precisely because of this, while it looks like treasure light is overflowing, in reality, it is unknown how far away it is from the main Primordial World, and rashly escaping into it could very likely lead to losing one's way.

After all, the highest level present today is only the Mysterious Immortal realm.

Surrounding the treasure light, in the sky, on the sea, and under the sea, there were figures everywhere, including the Human Race, the Sea Clan, and even the Dragon Clan, all waiting quietly.

Yin Qi scanned the area and found there were over twenty Mysterious Immortals.

He could not help but transmit his voice: "Princess, there are many Mysterious Immortals present; do we still have a chance?"

Chen Xi's expression was calm, and she likewise transmitted her voice: "Our Dayong Immortal Dynasty still has two Mysterious Immortal retainers; they were originally traveling abroad, but after receiving our message, they are currently rushing over."

Yin Qi nodded slowly; he continued to observe his surroundings and also discovered the Crown Prince Chen Xiao and his party.

However, judging by their appearance, they did not seem to have any intention of coming over to join up with Chen Xi.

Boom!

Suddenly, the source point of the treasure light exploded, and countless seawater surged into the sky, forming a massive whirlpool nearly a thousand miles in diameter, with countless seawater turning into monstrous waves that swept out in all directions.

Immediately following, countless Immortal Light permeated the area, forming various phenomena, as if a vast painting scroll were slowly unfurling.

"The treasure is about to manifest!!"

Someone cheered excitedly.

"Hiss, such a vast phenomenon, with Immortal Light overflowing; it seems the treasure this time is no small matter!"

"Innate Spiritual Qi, there is actually Innate Spiritual Qi overflowing from within; could it be that what is manifesting this time is not a Spirit Treasure, but an ancient Dongfu?"

"An ancient Dongfu! To be able to hide a Dongfu within the void, one must have at least the cultivation of a Golden Immortal. If that is the case, wouldn't this be the Dongfu of an ancient Golden Immortal!"

People discussed it heatedly, their eyes growing even more fervent.

The Dongfu of an ancient Golden Immortal could not be compared to even a complete Spirit Treasure.

Yang Miaotong said with secret anxiety: "Princess, the situation is somewhat unfavorable. If it truly is the Dongfu of an ancient Golden Immortal, relying solely on us, even if the retainers arrive, I fear it will be difficult to succeed."

Chen Xi's gaze was profound, and her voice was grave: "I will contact the founding masters of the Six Great Sacred Lands."

Within the borders of the Dayong Immortal Dynasty, there are the Six Great Sacred Lands, which are the Star Sect, Luo Tian Sect, Jiuhua Sect, Xuantian Sect, Zhengang Sect, and Qingxiao Sect, and their founding masters are all Mysterious Immortals.

For this treasure manifestation, five of them came.

To avoid attracting the attention and wariness of other factions, Chen Xi did not move about, but instead communicated with the five founding masters using her Immortal sense, and very quickly, all parties reached a consensus.

As for the specific content, Yin Qi 'heard' it clearly—it was how the various parties would join forces and how they would divide the spoils.

Chen Xi was only a Heavenly Immortal; how could her Immortal sense transmission possibly deceive Yin Qi?
