'It seems the Heavenly Dao is plotting something. My plan to collect treasures as a traveling merchant is not going to work! I have to think of another way!' Wang Han thought helplessly in the carriage, having no business whatsoever.
My purpose in becoming a traveling merchant is to collect treasures to supplement my Divine Might One world and make it more complete.
Unfortunately, Wang Han traveled around the prehistoric continent for a year but never encountered any prehistoric cultivators who came to exchange treasures or rob him. He didn't even encounter any passing prehistoric cultivators. It was as if Wang Han and his companions were the only sentient beings in the entire prehistoric world.
Wang Han was like a jinx; wherever he went, no sentient beings appeared.
Wang Han knew that the Heavenly Dao was secretly guiding the sentient beings in the prehistoric world to avoid him. The Heavenly Dao would not trust the treasures he exchanged. As long as he continued to exchange treasures, the Heavenly Dao would continue to guide the sentient beings in the prehistoric world to avoid him. There was no longer any need for him to continue being a traveling merchant.
I shouldn't have brought out the Gatling gun in the first place. My original intention was to attract cultivators who wanted to exchange treasures, but I didn't expect it to arouse the Heavenly Dao's suspicion and ruin things instead.
Of course, Wang Han had no intention of exchanging his technological weapons, so he simply wandered freely throughout the prehistoric world without seeking out the Heavenly Court, the Witch Clan, or the Dragon Clan to trade treasures. After all, the prehistoric world would belong to the human race in the future, and Wang Han didn't want to create problems for them. Openly robbing or secretly stealing was out of the question; he had promised Hongjun to avoid trouble as much as possible, and Wang Han valued his promise. He didn't want to fall out with the Heavenly Dao if he could avoid it, as the prehistoric world offered him many benefits—natural treasures, a conducive cultivation environment—all of which he needed, and he intended to remain there for a long time.
"I'm so bored! Brother Wang Han, when are we going back?" While Wang Han was thinking, Bi Xiao lay on the table, playing a single-player game on her game console, and asked boredly, not caring at all that she was disturbing Wang Han, because this wasn't the first time.
Upon hearing Bixiao's words, Yunxiao and Qiongxiao also looked up at Wang Han.
Even Hongyun seemed somewhat listless. He enjoyed making friends, but after two years of traveling through the prehistoric world, he hadn't seen a single sentient being—a first for him. In this situation, he might as well go home and cultivate!
The Three Immortals and Hongyun were unaware of Heaven's schemes, nor did they give them much thought. They simply found it uninteresting.
"Let's go back now!" Wang Han said upon hearing this, and with a thought, he steered the carriage to return.
————————————————
Rewind to a year ago, not long after Wang Hangang left the Three Immortals Island with the Three Immortals.
"I never imagined that there would be such a fairyland so close to the Dao in the primordial world! Not only is the environment beautiful, but it is also full of the charm of the Dao! I'm afraid no other blessed land can compare to it. If I could cultivate here, my cultivation would definitely advance by leaps and bounds. I wonder if this place is owned, and if so, which powerful figure occupies it, and whether I am his match."
By sheer chance, Tongtian entered the Three Immortal Islands. Looking at the islands' mountains, rivers, vegetation, and rare beasts, he couldn't help but praise them repeatedly, his heart filled with joy. If he could occupy this place, cultivate here, and comprehend the Dao of Heaven, his cultivation level would surely surpass Laozi and Yuanshi, making him the second person to become a sage.
Moreover, he had a feeling that he would receive a new disciple here, which was also the reason that had drawn him to this place. After thinking about it, Tongtian began to search within the Three Immortal Islands.
————————————————
"Fellow Daoist, is this your Daoist temple?" Back on the Three Immortal Islands, looking at the beautiful environment and feeling the Daoist essence permeating the island, Hongyun could hardly believe his eyes. He never imagined that such a beautiful place could exist in the primordial world. Not to mention that his own Fire Cloud Cave was far inferior to this place, even the Purple Cloud Palace he had visited paled in comparison.
"We discovered this place by chance, let's go in first," Wang Han said with a smile, continuing to steer the carriage toward the wooden courtyard in the center of the Three Immortal Islands, without mentioning that it was a gift from Heaven.
…………
"Master, the Three Immortal Maidens and Wang Han I told you about are back!" In the courtyard of the wooden house, seeing the luxurious carriage flying in from afar, Zhao Gongming quickly put down what he was doing and happily shouted into one of the rooms inside, then waited in the courtyard for the carriage to land.
"Excellent!" came a shout of "Excellent!" from inside the house. A middle-aged Taoist priest in a red robe walked out of the house. He was Tongtian, one of the Three Pure Ones, and also the master Zhao Gongming mentioned.
Tongtian arrived at the Three Immortals Island by chance. Upon entering the island, he was captivated by its environment and even considered making it his future training ground, moving from Kunlun Mountain to the island. Later, he met Zhao Gongming and felt that he had a master-disciple connection with him, so he accepted Zhao Gongming as his disciple. He felt even more strongly that this place was connected to him.
However, when Tongtian accepted Zhao Gongming as his disciple and learned from Zhao Gongming that his three younger sisters, Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao, and another cultivator named Wang Han also lived there, Tongtian suppressed all his thoughts.
Because it's unrealistic, although they don't know Wang Han's true strength, his teacher, Hongjun Daozu, had solemnly warned them not to provoke Wang Han, otherwise even Hongjun Daozu might not be able to protect them. This shows that Wang Han's strength is absolutely formidable, strong enough to rival Hongjun Daozu. Otherwise, Hongjun Daozu wouldn't have said that even he might not be able to protect them.
