The python led the way while Wei Huo and the others rushed toward the floating continent it had mentioned. 200 kilometers was indeed not too far away. At their speed, it would take them at most two hours.

Along the way, they saw a seven-colored phoenix. The phoenix was flying freely as if no one was around. It was also at the Epic stage.

The giant python could not help but sigh when it saw the phoenix. “I thought I had successfully transcended tribulation and become a True Dragon. I didn’t expect that I was still far away. Dreams are always beautiful, but reality is always cruel!”

Wei Huo and the others passed by the phoenix and checked its posture. The phoenix had indeed fallen into a weird state.

“Are you happy? I’m very happy!” It was singing.

Wei Huo asked the python, “Are all living creatures in this small world like this?”

The python shook its head. “I don’t know. I only remember that I was happy. The joy of becoming a True Dragon shrouded me and made me addicted to happiness.”

Wei Huo understood. It seemed like the key to this level was happiness.

The golden armor said, “The seventh level restricted behavior, but it did not restrict one’s thoughts. The eighth level is the opposite. It confines one’s thoughts and body.”

Wei Huo said, “This is the difference between freedom and safety. Absolute freedom means sacrificing safety. Absolute safety means sacrificing freedom.”

Wei Huo and the others were about to leave. They did not expect the seven-colored phoenix to pounce on them and shout, “I’m the chosen Phoenix. No one is my match. Die!”

Wei Huo’s domain hit the three phoenix feathers on its forehead. The seven-colored phoenix immediately turned into a giant peacock. The peacock looked confused as it mumbled to itself, “Where am I? Who am I? What am I doing?”

When it saw Wei Huo and the others, it was shocked. “Are you at the Legendary level?!”

Its reaction was similar to the python’s. When it realized that it was about to attack three Legendary creatures, it trembled in fear.

Wei Huo glanced at it and asked, “Do you know where the nearest floating continent is?”

The giant peacock dared not say that it did not know. It quickly said that it could lead the way and fly there.

The group sat on the giant peacock’s back.

The giant peacock said, “The floating continent is southeast. Given my speed and our current progress, it will take me about an hour to get there.”

After saying that, the peacock spread its wings and flew southeast.

On the way, Wei Huo asked, “What happened to you?”

The peacock recalled and said, “Many years ago, I swallowed the essence of the sun and moon and cultivated to the Dao. At the time, lightning descended from the sky. It was not easy for me to overcome it. I then ascended to the upper realm and came here to become a phoenix.”

Its experience was exactly the same as the giant python’s. They had not been creatures of Kunlun Mountain initially. They had cultivated near Kunlun Mountain before ascending and becoming what they’d wanted.

Wei Huo understood now. It was no wonder they called this place Paradise Immortal Realm. Here, all living creatures would change into the form they had in their minds and live the life they wanted.

An hour later, Wei Huo and the others finally arrived at the floating continent. Two sides of the floating continent could not be seen at all. They looked ahead and saw a plain first, followed by towering mountains. There seemed to be streams of light flying far away.

Wei Huo and the others continued moving forward. Soon, they saw an ancient city. They landed at the gate and heard shouting before entering the city.

“Happy sesame pastries! Happy sesame pastries for sale!”
