The Immortal Island of Penglai seemed to have transformed into a real paradise.

Wisps of immortal aura swirled and spread, enveloping the whole island, while clumps of hazy white immortal aura floated over the sea like the clouds in the sky. Stimulated by them, the vegetation on the island grew rapidly into towering trees with dense branches.

There was a pulpit at the center of the island, which was surrounded by many immortal temples.

Fully naked, Shen Gongbao rode his black panther and flew across the sky with fear still lingering in him. Many disciples of Penglai were stunned when they saw him rush into the island without wearing anything.

“It turns out that there are exhibitionists among Immortals as well…” Many Qi cultivators whispered to each other.

Shen Gongbao was too lazy to pay them any mind. At this moment, he only wanted to see one man. He pressed on without stopping. Many Immortals greeted him along the way, but he ignored them.

In the center of an immortal temple surrounded by wisps of immortal aura, a Daoist with a colorful ring of light flashing behind his head was lecturing. His loud voice echoed through and out the temple, shaking the surrounding buildings.

Many futons were placed around the Daoist, on which sat many experts. Their postures were different, but they were all quietly listening to the Daoist’s lecture.

The natives of the island, including Patriarch Penglai, were listening to the lecture with rapture. Behind the Patriarch sat Yu Ge, who was clad in a blue robe. From time to time, he scratched his ears and cheeks as if the lecture had frustrated him.

For some reason he did not know, he could not focus on listening to what the Daoist was lecturing about cultivation. This was in sharp contrast to the people around him. As he listened, he kept thinking of Bu Fang’s Egg-Fried Rice that he had tasted when they first met.

The food had distracted him, making it impossible for him to listen to the lecture the almighty expert was delivering. The lofty Daoist before them was an almighty expert, an existence even their Patriarch was afraid of. Yu Ge could clearly sense the terrifying aura emanating from him.

Suddenly, the Daoist stopped lecturing. He opened his eyes, which were filled with tranquility. Four swords were hovering behind him—one blue, one red, one white, and one black. Each sword contained an astounding power, and anyone who tried to perceive them would feel that they were surrounded by deadly sword energy.

A commotion broke out in the temple as all the people opened their eyes and looked at the entrance. There, they saw a naked figure rush through the door, riding on a black panther.

“Sect Leader!”

A loud cry echoed in the temple. Shen Gongbao landed, took a robe, and wrapped it around his naked body. Then, looking at the Daoist before him, he began to cry and tell the almighty expert of his encounter with Bu Fang.

After listening to him, all the people in the temple were furious.

“This is ridiculous! How dare that evil man kill our Immortals!”

“The Immortal Sword’s clone represents the Sect Leader… How could that evil man destroy it? Kill him!”

“He had killed our Immortals and destroyed the Immortal Sword’s clone… Is this evil man trying to fight us?!”

The many Immortals in the temple were furious. Many of the Heaven Immortals and even Immortal Kings were glaring with rage. However, after a moment of commotion, all the Immortals rested their eyes on the Daoist.

The Daoist was as calm as still waters. His state of mind made many Immortals ashamed of themselves.

“It doesn’t matter… A mere evil man will not affect us. However, the Divine Artifact he had acquired is crucial to us. We cannot let him get away with it. The Four Heavenly Kings, you will bring me the head of this evil man,” the Daoist said indifferently.

Four Divine Generals clad in armor stepped out among the Immortals. They looked different, but all were fierce and vicious.

“Please rest assured, my lord. Those who offend us or insult the Immortals will be hunted down and killed by us!”

The aura of the four men was very strong, and their voices were loud. As soon as they spoke, they caused the air in the temple to explode like thunder.

The Daoist nodded. After that, the four Heavenly Kings stepped on immortal clouds and sped away.

Down below, Yu Ge was already freaking out. ‘Not good! The four Heavenly Kings are peak Heaven Immortals, and each of them is just one step away from becoming an Immortal King! When they joined forces, they could even slay an Immortal King! Senior is in trouble this time!’

Yu Ge’s heart was filled with worry. He glanced at Patriarch Penglai, who was still immersed in the lecture, then sneakily left the temple.

With an indifferent look, the Daoist said, “Four Divine Artifacts are born on the Ancestral Planet. It is a rare opportunity, and we must seize it.” His half-closed eyes gleamed sharply.

In addition to Penglai Island, many Immortals had descended at various blessed lands of Hua, and they would eventually meet and clash!

…

Chief Luo was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, which added an intellectual touch to his tough appearance.

“Senior, we’ve searched the entire world according to your description, and we have now narrowed down to four areas,” he said to Bu Fang, who was beside him. “These four areas are places where major fighting has just taken place or is taking place. We’ve sent fighter jets to explore them, so we’ll have news back soon.”

Bu Fang nodded, leaning his back against the chair and watching quietly. Not long after that, images began to appear across the huge screen.

In the first image was a barren land. It was a desert, but a layer of its sand seemed to have been scraped away, and the sand and gravel on the surface were all melted.

“Where is this?” Bu Fang asked.

“This is a desert in Xinjiang,” Chief Luo answered.
