536: Chapter 536 Dao Yan Immortal Lord

Each island was shrouded in a layer of pale Golden Immortal Qi, a pure and gentle light that kept the churning Chaos currents at bay, carving out a tranquil sanctuary within this desolate Sea of Chaos.

The Laws on the islands were exceptionally complete and active, even retaining a trace of the Origin charm from the very beginning of the world.

The air was permeated with an ancient and pure aura; taking a single breath allowed one to feel the Dao Laws circulating within the body.

For old monsters at the Immortal Lord level, this was a supreme Holy Land for comprehending the past and future and touching the threshold of an Immortal King.

Those capable of occupying an island in the Sea of Chaos were all truly top-tier existences within the Immortal Domain.

Some were here in seclusion to comprehend the Dao, some were here to deduce heavenly secrets, and others were here to hide from enemies.

The unique environment of the Sea of Chaos made it difficult for any tracking methods to be employed, making it the safest place to live in seclusion.

One of these islands was named Guixu Island. It was not large, spanning about a thousand miles in circumference, and was barren, with only a pitch-black mountain standing in the center of the island.

The surface of the mountain was covered in marks as if carved by blades and axes, and faint glows of Laws flickered within these marks, indicating it had been baptized by countless great battles.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Three bedraggled streaks of blood-colored light stumbled through the Chaos currents and landed on the edge of Guixu Island.

They were none other than the three Immortal Lords who had just escaped from Daluo Heaven: Immortal Monarch Xuanyang, Immortal Lord Taixu, and Immortal Monarch Wanmiao!

As soon as the three landed, they staggered to steady themselves; at this moment, they possessed not a shred of the dignity befitting an Immortal Lord.

Their usual air of superiority, looking down upon all living beings, had vanished completely, replaced by the lingering fear of having barely survived and a state of utter wretchedness.

The three stood at the edge of Guixu Island, looking back toward the depths of the Sea of Chaos, their eyes filled with unconcealable lingering fear.

"That madman... what exactly is his background?" Immortal Monarch Xuanyang's voice was hoarse, and every word he spoke carried a faint tremor. "With an Early Stage Immortal Lord cultivation base, the methods he employed would make even an Immortal King take notice. Since when did the Immortal Domain possess such a Cultivation Technique?"

No one answered him. Immortal Monarch Wanmiao was still coughing up blood, while Immortal Lord Taixu stared down at his trembling right hand, his eyes filled with gloom.

The eternal silence of the Sea of Chaos enveloped the three, with only the layer of pale Golden Immortal Qi on the periphery of the Immortal island circulating silently, illuminating their pale and terrified faces.

"Finally... we've arrived..."

Immortal Monarch Wanmiao panted, looking at the island surrounded by Immortal Qi before him, a flash of complexity crossing his eyes.

Immortal Monarch Wanmiao's eyes flickered with complex emotions. Once upon a time, he had been a powerhouse traversing the Sea of Chaos; when had he ever needed to be so subservient? Yet now, after he, Immortal Monarch Xuanyang, and Immortal Lord Taixu had joined forces, they had actually suffered such a huge loss at the hands of a Junior who had just advanced to the Immortal Lord level, forced to come here to seek help.

This humiliation was even harder for him to bear than the injuries to his Origin.

"Three Seniors, since you have come, why not enter the island for a chat?"

Just as the three were lost in their own thoughts, a clear voice drifted leisurely from within the island.

The voice was not loud, yet it rang clearly in the ears of the three, as if the person speaking were standing right beside them.

Immediately after, the light curtain of the Formation at the island entrance rippled like water, and a youth wearing moon-white Daoist robes drifted toward them.

Although he only had a Golden Immortal Perfection cultivation base, his attitude before the three veteran Immortal Lords was neither humble nor arrogant, and even faintly carried a hint of superiority.

In the eyes of ordinary Cultivators, a Golden Immortal Perfection was already an existence that needed to be looked up to.

But before the three Immortal Lords, such a cultivation level should only be met with deep respect and the courtesy of a Junior.

Yet, the youth's attitude was not so. He stood at the island entrance, his gaze sweeping calmly over the three Immortal Lords, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Although the smile was polite, it faintly revealed a sense of condescension—not because of his cultivation, but because of the person standing behind him.

The eldest Disciple of the owner of Guixu Island; this identity was enough for him to maintain composure even before Immortal Lords.

The hand inside Immortal Monarch Xuanyang's sleeve clenched slightly and involuntarily.

He could clearly feel the scrutiny hidden in the youth's gaze; this look was just like looking at three down-and-out people who had come to ask for help.

The reality was indeed so, and a surge of uncontrollable anger and humiliation welled up in his heart.

To think that he, a dignified Middle Stage Immortal Lord powerhouse, could be considered a great expert in the Sea of Chaos, was now being sized up by a mere Golden Immortal with such a look.

But he had to endure it. In that battle at Daluo Heaven, the methods Lu Yuan displayed were too terrifying.

Time, Space, Reincarnation—the three supreme Laws gathered in one body, combined with that bizarre summoning technique of the Future Self. The three of them had joined forces to reverse the flow of time, thinking they could nip the threat in the bud, but unexpectedly, they were instead heavily injured.

That feeling of being forcibly pushed back from the River of Time still made his heart palpitate whenever he thought of it.

That strike not only injured his Origin but also wounded his heart as a powerhouse.

Immortal Monarch Xuanyang took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the churning emotions in his chest, and managed to squeeze a smile onto his tense face.

This smile was somewhat stiff, but it was the limit of what he could do at this moment.

"Sorry to trouble you, little friend, to lead the way." His voice was somewhat dry. "We have important matters and seek an audience with Immortal Lord Daoyan."

Upon hearing this, the youth's gaze lingered on the three for a moment, as if confirming something.

A moment later, he smiled slightly, turned to the side, and made a gesture of invitation.

"My master is currently in seclusion." His tone was indifferent, as if he were speaking of a trivial matter. "However, the old man seemed to have calculated that the three of you would come today, and specially ordered this Junior to wait here."

When these words were spoken, the hearts of the three simultaneously shivered. Immortal Lord Daoyan had actually calculated that they would come?

Immortal Monarch Wanmiao and Immortal Lord Taixu exchanged a glance, and both saw a trace of horror in each other's eyes.

At their level, the variables in the River of Fate were endless. To be able to accurately deduce the movement trajectory of three Immortal Lords, what level of deduction mastery would that require?

But on second thought, Immortal Lord Daoyan himself specialized in cultivating various Dao Laws, including the Dao of Karma deduction. Being able to calculate their arrival in advance was not too inconceivable.

It was just that this feeling of being seen through, with everything in the control of another, was truly uncomfortable.

"Three Seniors, please follow me." As the youth spoke, he turned and stepped into the light curtain of the Formation at the island entrance.

The light curtain automatically parted to form a passage in front of him, with water-like light patterns rippling to both sides, revealing the path leading into the island.

The three suppressed the discomfort in their hearts and followed closely behind, stepping into the legendary Guixu Island.

Once inside the island, the scene before their eyes changed drastically. Viewed from outside the island, it was just a small island surrounded by Immortal Qi.

But only upon truly stepping inside could one feel its unfathomable heritage.

The road under their feet was not ordinary soil or stone, but pieces of green jade steps suspended in the Void Realm.
