The person who stepped forward this time was none other than Ao Guang, the eldest prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace.
Having relied on Penglai Island for so many years, he had always wanted to repay Hu Le.
Unfortunately, he was just a mere prince of the Dragon Palace, and Hu Le had no use for him, making him feel powerless all these years.
Now that he had finally encountered someone who dared to venture alone into Penglai Island, he immediately felt that his chance to make a name for himself had arrived.
So he hurriedly appeared in front of Tianyi Zhenjun and blocked his way.
"Where did you come from, you scoundrel? How dare you come to my Penglai Island and cause trouble! Are you really not afraid of death?" Ao Guang shouted, pointing his sword at Tianyi Zhenjun.
Seeing Ao Guang's rudeness, True Lord Tianyi didn't give him a friendly look either, "What business is it of yours, you wicked dragon? Are you perhaps the master of this place?"
The master of Penglai Island?
Ao Guang would never dare to accept this title!
"You scoundrel! What kind of eyes do you have? How could I possibly be the island lord? Shouldn't you have made sure you knew who I am before you trespassed on the island?"
"Bah! What are you asking about? I only know that there are two petty thieves hiding on this island. If you hand them over, fine. But if you utter a single word of objection, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The thought of Taiyi made him furious.
Although the Heavenly Golden Water Spring was important, he was still a regional lord with cultivation approaching that of a Great Luo Immortal, so he wouldn't be so angry about it.
This story begins thirty years ago.
Long ago, two narcissus fairies were born in the far reaches of the East Sea. One was transformed from the essence of the sunflower crystal, and the other was created from the mysterious ice of the Ren water.
Although both were narcissus, they were one yin and one yang, born as a man and a woman, and later they even became Daoist partners.
The man who was transformed from Ren Shui Xuan Bing was Tian Yi Zhen Jun, while the woman who was transformed from Kui Shui Jing Ying was called Kun Yuan Jin Mu.
Not long ago, when Kunyuan Jinmu was undergoing the test of the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man, she accidentally perished in the Tribulation of the Decay of the Dao Heart.
Despite his grief, Tianyi Zhenjun seized some of the essence and true spirit of Kunyuan Jinmu.
Just then, a primordial embryo was being conceived in the Heavenly Golden Water Spring. He took this opportunity to erase the true spirit within the primordial embryo and infused it with the true spirit and origin of the Kun Yuan Golden Mother, hoping that she could use it to conceive and create anew.
The reason he refused to lend the spiritual spring to Taiyi before was naturally because the Kunyuan Golden Mother was about to be fully conceived, and in order to prevent any accidents from happening, he would not allow Taiyi to go and disturb her.
But who would have thought! Who would have thought that Taiyi would be so unruly? After being rejected, he pretended to leave, but actually dared to sneak back in.
Tianyi Zhenjun naturally wouldn't let Taiyi off easily. As a result, during the process of expelling Taiyi, Taiyi actually blew up the spiritual spring.
Once the Spirit Spring is destroyed, the primordial embryo that Kunyuan Jinmu entrusted with it will naturally not benefit either, and will be destroyed along with the Spirit Spring.
Years of waiting and anticipation were destroyed in a single day by Taiyi.
He was both furious and heartbroken, and naturally wished he could tear Taiyi to pieces.
This is why he kept pursuing Taiyi.
Previously, he had finally caught up with Taiyi and was about to capture him, thus avenging himself.
As a result, Guan Kong appeared halfway and rescued the person.
He was absolutely furious, and he threw the last shred of composure to the wind.
So he barged into Penglai Island, determined to find the two of them...
Of course, he didn't need to tell Ao Guang any of this. He only had one thought in mind: he had to find Taiyi, take his head back to offer as a sacrifice to his Daoist partner, and kill anyone who dared to stop him, not even the Heavenly Emperor Taiyi himself...
He and Ao Guang couldn't agree on anything and soon started fighting.
Ao Guang has not wasted his time on Penglai Island all these years; his strength has far surpassed that of the soldiers and generals.
He fought against Tianyi Zhenjun for more than ten rounds and was not at a disadvantage.
However, that's all there is to it.
Tianyi Zhenjun's cultivation and supernatural powers far surpassed those of Ao Guang.
Seeing that Ao Guang was somewhat troublesome, Tianyi Zhenjun pretended to leave. However, when he discovered that Ao Guang was chasing after him, he slightly turned his body and unleashed a Kui Shui Divine Thunder with his backhand.
Caught off guard, Ao Guang was struck by divine lightning. In the nick of time, he hastily summoned a protective magical artifact.
boom!
The divine lightning exploded, sending Ao Guang flying backward. The magical treasure he had just summoned could only withstand the attack for a few breaths before it couldn't take it anymore. With a mournful cry, it shrank back into his body.
He himself was immediately struck by the remaining lightning.
Fortunately, the divine lightning had been weakened by the previous protection of the spiritual treasure, and its power was no longer what it used to be, thus saving his life amidst the divine lightning.
Although his life was saved, he still had to endure the suffering.
Struck by the divine thunder, Ao Guang groaned and plummeted from the sky, his entire body blackened...
After dealing with Ao Guang, Tianyi Zhenjun continued forward, his divine sense constantly sweeping across the ground, searching for traces of Taiyi and Guankong.
However, after traveling only a hundred miles, more than a dozen cultivators suddenly appeared ahead and blocked his way again.
The Heavenly One True Lord possessed extraordinary cultivation and supernatural powers; these people only managed to hinder him for a moment before being swept away by him one by one...
Inside the Lingyun Palace.
A mirror of light hung in mid-air, and Tianyi Zhenjun's every move was displayed in the mirror.
This method is not unusual; it is called the Round Light Technique, and many cultivators in the prehistoric world used it.
Whether the other party can sense it during use is another matter entirely.
At the very least, Hu Le is currently using this technique in the hall, and although he is not far from True Lord Tianyi, he has not noticed it at all, which is quite remarkable...
As Tianyi Zhenjun rampaged across the island, knocking down all those who stood in his way, he continued his march toward Lingyun Palace.
Taiyi gave a bitter smile and said, "Alas! It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have come to the island to cause trouble. I should just let him go and get rid of him."
"Oh? How do you plan to deal with him?" Hu Le asked calmly and unhurriedly.
"Well... at worst, we'll fight him to the death! We can't let him continue to be so arrogant!" Taiyi's face showed a resolute expression.
Upon hearing this, Hu Le suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha... You Taoist priest, you're really not being honest! If I let you be humiliated on Penglai Island, how will you face Yuqing Zhenren and Nanji Daoist in the future?"
You know this perfectly well, yet you still pretend to be working desperately. Who are you trying to impress?
Upon hearing this, Taiyi's face twitched, and a blush quickly spread across his cheeks.
He hadn't expected Hu Le to so directly expose his thoughts.
"This...I'm so sorry! I really shouldn't have tried to play these tricks in front of the Divine Lord. I've made him laugh at me." Taiyi's little scheme had been exposed, and now he could only apologize...
