In a valley, a group of people were traveling. Leading them were two young men, one of whom had a pair of metal wings on his back, and the other had long flowing hair and a handsome appearance. Behind them were thousands of soldiers, and the banner of the group was embroidered with a giant dragon with a slender body.
These two were Xuan Tianzong and Dan Chenzi, who were heading to another battlefield.
"Xuantian Sect, what do you think Senior Bai Mei and the others would think if they knew we had come to this world?" Dan Chenzi asked from his horse.
Xuan Tianzong looked up at the sky and sighed softly.
"I don't know either. We used to pursue immortality as our lifelong goal, but when we got here, we found that immortals are nothing special. Besides, aren't we immortals too?"
"Yes, I still find it unbelievable whenever I think about it, but thankfully, we're still together. After hundreds of years of friendship, I don't want to be alone." Dan Chenzi smiled, his bromance palpable.
Just then, a streak of light slid down from the sky.
Dan Chenzi's wings unfurled instantly, and he soared into the sky.
Xuan Tianzong raised his left hand, and the army instantly stopped.
Dan Chenzi flew back quickly, but this time he had a token in his hand.
“It’s the Commander-in-Chief,” Dan Chenzi said.
"Hmm." Xuan Tianzong nodded.
Then Dan Chenzi channeled his magic power and touched the center of the token. The token emitted light, and many small golden characters appeared out of thin air in front of the two of them.
"The feudal lords are coming to our aid?" Xuan Tianzong frowned after reading the contents of the letter.
"Hmph, these guys are shameless. Now that we've won, they want a piece of the pie," Dan Chenzi said with a sneer.
"Forget it, this is none of our business. Since the commander-in-chief wants us to go back, we'll obey!" Xuan Tianzong said.
Yin Shou sent a letter informing the two men to immediately return to their base camp, cancel the attack, and leave the task to the allied forces of the distant lords.
"Listen up, everyone! The commander has ordered that the plan has changed. Today's battle is canceled. Everyone turn around and return to headquarters!" Dan Chenzi shouted.
"Yes," the thousands of soldiers responded in unison, then turned around and returned along the same route.
Just as the group was about to reach the base camp after walking back for half a day, the two sensed something, and then their faces lit up with joy as they quickly looked up at the sky.
"Moo..."
A blue ox was slowly descending from the sky.
The line stopped again.
"Hehehe, it's you guys." A cute, playful laugh came from the air.
Soon, the blue ox landed, carrying Li Daoyi and Mengmeng on its back.
"Master." Dan Chenzi and the other person quickly stepped forward and bowed.
"Hey, I've told you so many times, just call me senior." Li Daoyi waved his hand.
After he advanced to the Golden Immortal realm, the system unlocked a new function that allowed him to give life to puppets, provided that the puppet's original strength did not exceed his. So he immediately gave life to the two puppets, making them their masters.
"Yes, thank you, senior."
"By the way, seniors, what brings you here?"
"I had to go to sea on some business, so I came to see you all," Li Daoyi said.
"Yes, the main camp is just ten miles ahead, and the commander-in-chief is there too," Xuan Tianzong quickly replied.
“Alright.” Li Dao nodded. Then he walked with the group. Along the way, he inquired about the demon race in the North Sea. As he had expected, these demon races were not worth mentioning. The strongest of them were barely at the level of Great Demon, equivalent to the Golden Immortal realm. They were easily crushed by battle formations. Currently, only a few demon races were still putting up a fight.
"That's good. The demon race is very particular about bloodlines. These low-level demons, the demon kings and demon gods won't care about them at all," Li Daoyi said with a nod.
Soon, the team returned to the base camp, which was densely packed with tents. The largest tent, located in the middle, was the command post.
Yin Shou had already received the news and rushed out.
"Master, what brings you here?"
Yin Shou's happy voice came through.
"Hehe, I'm here too." Mengmeng peeked out from behind Li Daoyi.
"Uh... Junior Aunt." Yin Shou was a little afraid of Mengmeng. This child was too naughty and often played pranks. He had been teased by her several times.
The group then entered the large tent together, where they found it filled with books, even on the floor.
"Why are there so many books?" Li Daoyi asked.
“These are all records from the vassal states of the North Sea, records spanning over ten years. I’ve been looking at them for several days now,” Yin Shou said helplessly.
"The capable are often burdened with more work. Being an emperor is not so simple, and you've already begun to try," Li Daoyi teased.
"Where's your brother-in-law?" Li Daoyi didn't see Jiang Wenhuan.
"Oh, Wen Huan has led a group of men to meet the Marquis of Dongbo," Yin Shou explained.
"Well, you don't need to be hostile to those people from those vassal states this time. It would be best to win them over if possible, as it will be convenient for the future. You should understand," Li Daoyi reminded him.
"Yes, I know." Yin Shou nodded. That's why he made Dan Chenzi and the others retreat and relinquish the credit.
Li Daoyi gently patted Yin Shou's shoulder.
"Ten years have passed, and you have grown a lot, but it's not enough. When you go back this time, you will take over the throne, and you will face even more troubles. I hope you are mentally prepared."
“Master, I understand.” Yin Shou nodded solemnly.
"That's good. Just do your job well and don't worry about anything else. Remember, I'm here for you."
After Li Daoyi finished speaking, he picked up Mengmeng and walked out of the tent.
"Master."
"senior."
Several people shouted at the same time, not expecting him to leave so soon after arriving.
"Haha, Tongtian made an appointment with me, I can't keep him waiting." Li Daoyi turned around and laughed.
After saying that, he jumped onto the ox's back. The ox flicked its tail, and a gust of wind blew by, and it was gone without a trace.
The North Sea, the lowest of the four seas, is home to countless demons. Not to mention the famous Beiju Luzhou, the renowned demon master Kunpeng from the ancient demon court era hibernated here.
In addition, this is also the permanent residence of Biyou Palace, the Tongtian Daoist Temple. As one of the Six Sages, Tongtian often keeps Biyou Palace here to facilitate the cultivation of his disciples. Biyou Palace is movable; it is a floating, flying island.
After the green ox carried Li Daoyi and Mengmeng into the sea, it headed north. The jade pendant in Li Daoyi's hand was a token that could guide him to the location of Biyou Palace.
Wow, there are so many fish in the sea!
"Look, those, those can fly too, there are so many."
"That's called a flying fish."
What about that one?
"dolphin."
"It looks delicious."
"So cute, and all you can think about is eating it?"
On the cow's back, Mengmeng looked around happily, occasionally pointing at the creatures leaping out of the sea.
Niu Er was very fast, and in no time he had flown tens of thousands of miles. At this time, the light of the jade pendant in his hand was getting brighter and brighter, indicating that Biyou Palace was not far away.
Just then, as they flew over what looked like an ordinary island, Li Daoyi gently patted Niu Er, and the green ox immediately stopped.
From the air, the island looks like a large fish lying across the sea. Like any other island, it has mountains and trees, and you can even see wild animals running on the beach.
"Eeya?" Mengmeng seemed to have noticed something as well, blinking her big eyes as she looked at the island below.
"Wow, what a big fish!" the little girl exclaimed in surprise.
“This island can move,” Mengmeng added.
Upon closer inspection, the island was indeed moving slowly at a barely perceptible pace.
The blue ox slowly descended from the sky and stopped a hundred feet above the island.
"Moo..."
Niu Er also roared down.
"Interesting, it's actually hiding near Tongtian's territory," Li Daoyi said with a smile, looking at the island.
"Rumble..."
At this moment, the island below began to shake violently. The cliffs on both sides of one end of the island began to crumble, and huge rocks fell into the sea, revealing two enormous eyes.
"puff…"
Then a huge column of water shot out from the island, heading straight for Li Daoyi.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the water column vanished instantly.
The two enormous eyes below showed a hint of surprise.
Who are you?
A muffled sound came from the island.
"I never imagined that the renowned Demon Master Kunpeng would actually transform into an island. It's truly unbelievable," Li Daoyi said, shaking his head.
This island was originally transformed from Kunpeng. Kunpeng was originally a top demon saint among the demon race, and he was from the same era as the Six Saints of Heaven. As can be seen from his name, he can transform into Peng when he enters the sky, soaring up to 90,000 miles, and become Kun when he enters the sea. Now this island is the original form of Kunpeng transformed into a giant fish.
"Splash..."
The Kunpeng shook, and the rocks covering its body were gradually removed, revealing its smooth body, which was indeed an enormous sea fish.
"Wow, it's so big!" Mengmeng exclaimed again, her big eyes sparkling, and a trickle of saliva unconsciously dripping from the corner of her mouth.
Immediately afterwards, a faint blue light emanated from the Kunpeng's body, and a ball of light slowly flew out from the fish's head. It quickly arrived in front of both sides, and the ball of light slowly dispersed, transforming into a figure.
The man was tall and imposing, dressed in a black robe, with a mustache and small, questioning eyes staring at Li Daoyi. He was none other than Kunpeng in human form.
"Severing the three corpses? You're quite clever, severing your main body twice." Li Daoyi instantly understood that Kunpeng had severed his Kun and Peng forms into three corpses in order to become a saint.
When the other party spoke up and exposed his Three Corpses Severance, Kunpeng was greatly alarmed.
"Did Tongtian tell you that?" Kunpeng asked.
He was hiding in the North Sea, and naturally he was no match for the Tongtian Sect Leader. Fortunately, the Tongtian Sect Leader did not make things difficult for him, but only warned him to try not to show himself in the world.
Li Daoyi shook his head.
“My name is Li Daoyi. You don’t need to worry. I have no grudge against you. I just happened to be passing by and we met.” Li Daoyi said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Kunpeng's eyes flickered, clearly indicating that he didn't quite believe the other party.
Li Daoyi did not force him.
"Alright, you can stay here. I still need to go to Biyou Palace!"
After Li Daoyi finished speaking, he patted Niu Er and continued flying away into the distance.
Kunpeng paused for a moment, then waved his hand towards the sea. The giant fish below vanished instantly, and he transformed into a giant roc, flying towards the direction where Li Daoyi had disappeared.
