Chapter 1521: 1521
Ever since Xiao Chen rescued the three Immortal Holy Lands, the remnant forces of the various Holy Lands and countless fleeing cultivators headed for Heavenly Star Island .
Heavenly Star Island, which was supposed to be drenched in blood, managed to attain a temporary peace, gaining some time for a breather .
However, everyone knew that this was just the calm before the storm . An even larger storm was slowly brewing .
The Treasure Master would not leave things be so easily .
After all, the eight Immortal statues were withdrawn from the Cyclic Astral Palace and the Myriad Fiend Island on his own initiative .
n.o.body knew what his true intentions were or what his unspeakable purpose was .

At the Treasure Master’s Residence on a secret island:
The various dark-colored buildings on this island were typical of sinister religious buildings . The black temples had strange diagrams, which had never appeared in the Kunlun Realm before, drawn into the walls .
Countless strange sculptures dotted a huge plaza in the center of the island .
The mouth to a mysterious black cave lay in the center of the plaza with an endless stream of cultivators being tossed in as sacrifices . Screams of fear came from the depths of the cave before coming to a stop . This was a bone-chilling sight, making anyone who saw it tremble in fear .
This cave was actually an altar, an altar that no one had ever seen before . The Treasure Master watched silently as cultivators were fed to the cave .
Aside from the saber scar on the Treasure Master’s face, no one could see his true appearance . It was shrouded in fog, just like his mysterious ident.i.ty .
From the very start, the Treasure Master’s true face had always been a mystery .
Many black-clad old men were currently working on some complicated patterns at the edges of the altar . As the cultivators were tossed in, in an endless stream, a huge black figure was visible in the sky above the altar .
“Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+”
Many figures descended from the sky, landing behind the Treasure Master, the Young Treasure Master Yi Ling among them . These were all the Treasure Master’s sons, but they were only adopted sons and not his true sons .
“Father, the strengthening of the Immortal Statues is already finished . They all can use Magic Treasures now,” the Young Treasure Master Yi Ling said as he took a step forward . Excitement flashed in his eyes .
“They can use Magic Treasures now?”
The Treasure Master turned around . A trace of interest appeared in his voice as he said softly, “These people really work fast . Let’s go over and take a look . ”
After saying that, the Treasure Master spread his hands, and a ma.s.sive dark screen enveloped the group . Then, there was a flash of iridescent light .
The next time they appeared, the Treasure Master and all his adoptive sons were in the Penglai Sea .
That was right . The maintenance and repairs of the Immortal statues were being carried out by the Immortal Cultivators of the Penglai Sea . The pearls, made by duplicating the Puppet Pearl, also came from this group of Immortal Cultivators .
Currently, seventeen Immortal statues hovered above the surface of the vast sea region .
Many Immortal Cultivators wearing Daoist robes stood on various Magic Treasures and flew around the Immortal statues, occasionally sending out a beam of spiritual light into the statues .
With the maintenance of these Immortal Cultivators, the Immortal statues, which had undergone huge battles, looked like they were brand-new, becoming even stronger .
A disciple flew quickly to an old man and spoke respectfully with a bow . “Martial Uncle, the Treasure Master is here . ”
This old man was the last Immortal Venerate of the Penglai Sea, Immortal Venerate Yun Chen .
Immortal Venerate Yun Chen was famous for his pill refining skills, his refining flames having reached the peak . As for refining equipment, his skills there had reached the peak as well .
Naturally, the matter of repairing the Immortal statues was left to him .
Upon hearing that the Treasure Master was here, a look of helplessness flashed across Immortal Venerate Yun Chen’s face . He waved his hand to dismiss the disciple before turning into a beam of flowing light and arriving beside of the Penglai Sea’s transportation formation .
“Daoist Yun Chen, I heard that the Immortal statues can now use Magic Treasures . I definitely have to remember your contribution . ” The Treasure Master exchanged greetings with Immortal Venerate Yun Chen with a faint smile after flying out of the transportation formation .
Immortal Venerate Yun Chen did not say much . “Come with me . ”
The group followed Immortal Venerate Yun Chen to the seventeen Immortal statues .
Immortal Venerate Yun Chen waved his hand, and the Immortal Cultivators around the Immortal statues scattered, leaving only seventeen Immortal statues standing upright above the sea region; they looked at the group with cold gazes .
A heavy Immortal Might came from the statues . Despite being dead for millions of years, these statues’ pressure was still terrifying .
It was hard to imagine how strong they had been when they were alive .
It was even harder to imagine what kind of enemy could send such strong Immortals to their deaths .
As an Immortal Cultivator himself, when Immortal Venerate Yun Chen stood before these Immortal statues, he always felt complicated emotions .
When the Treasure Master revealed an unhappy expression, Immortal Venerate Yun Chen came back to his senses . Then, he took out the Puppet Pearl and sent in a beam of spiritual light .
“Boom!”
Intense light burst forth from the statues . The adoptive sons of the Treasure Master were all knocked away .
The only ones who remained at ease were the Treasure Master and Immortal Venerate Yun Chen .
A satisfied smile appeared on the Treasure Master’s face, which no one could see, as ancient Magic Treasures flew out from all the Immortal statues .
There were flying swords, war banners, bells, ancient mirrors…
