377: Nanmen Immortal King!!

"Find someone," the Third Master said.

"Who?" Curse asked curiously.

The next moment, the Third Master's power carried Curse through space. When they reappeared, they were above a palace on an island in a sea area.

"Azure Orchid Sea? This is... Southern Gate's territory?"

Curse also recognized the place.

The Azure Orchid Sea was one of the four great sea areas of their era, and this island, tens of millions of miles long, was a private Domain of an Immortal King named Southern Gate, where no one was allowed to approach without permission.

The Third Master did not answer him but led Curse directly into the depths of the palace, where they saw a man in a dark blue robe with a large beard sitting cross-legged in the center of the hall. Three Sea God's Eyes floated around him like ocean-calming pearls.

This person was none other than Immortal King Southern Gate, who was currently Cultivating with his eyes closed.

The bodies of the Third Master and Curse were transparent, so Immortal King Southern Gate naturally could not perceive them.

"Law of Karma, unlock the Heavenly Dao's chains."

"Open."

The Third Master then cast a spell. A Karmic order radiated light from his fingertip, covering his and Curse's bodies.

In an instant, their bodies solidified, ignoring the Heavenly Dao rules, and they appeared tangibly before Immortal King Southern Gate.

Curse's gaze was calm; he clearly knew the Third Master possessed this ability.

Immortal King Southern Gate sensed the two of them, opened his eyes, and upon seeing the Third Master and Curse, immediately stood up excitedly: "Master, you've come!"

"Curse? Why have you also come with the Master?"

Curse's expression was bewildered. How was this completely different from what he had imagined?

Immortal King Southern Gate knew the Third Master??

Huh??

"Master, you two already knew each other?" Curse asked in surprise.

The Third Master nodded: "Many years ago, I visited several times. Southern Gate is a hidden piece I left behind."

"Your current cultivation has also Broken through to the Late Stage of the Immortal King Realm, hasn't it?"

Immortal King Southern Gate nodded: "I did not disappoint Master's expectations. Five years ago, I successfully Broke through."

The Third Master nodded: "Then let's go."

Curse was dumbfounded: "Go? Third Master, where are you taking Southern Gate?"

The Third Master smiled faintly: "Naturally, back to our era."

"With an Immortal King Realm Late Stage cultivator present, during the time Junior Brother is away from the Yuan Realm, it can ensure that era remains undisturbed."

Clearly, the Third Master's purpose in coming this time was to take Immortal King Southern Gate back to help him deal with the president of the Three Phase Society.

This was also the first time Chu Yun had asked him, as a Junior Brother, to lend a hand as his Senior Brother.

Since he had agreed, he would certainly arrange everything properly.

But upon hearing this, Curse's entire face changed.

Bringing a person from the past era to the future era.

This completely violated the Heavenly Dao rules and spatiotemporal order of the Yuan Realm. Regardless of whether it was the Third Master or Immortal King Southern Gate himself, this action would cause them to suffer Heavenly Dao backlash and Karma retribution.

The power of the Heavenly Dao backlash was so strong that even an Immortal King would feel immense dread.

"Master, is this really permissible?"

"Violating the Yuan Realm's spatiotemporal order and Heavenly Dao rules is equivalent to opposing the Heavenly Dao..."

"This... won't it cause a backlash?" Curse asked worriedly.

The Third Master smiled calmly: "Don't worry, our era has no Heavenly Dao, so even if Southern Gate goes there, nothing will happen."

"As for the Heavenly Dao of this era..."

"Hehe, with me here, he won't be able to lock onto us."

These words fully displayed the Third Master's confidence. Even against the Heavenly Dao of this Nine Ancestors Era, as long as it involved Karmic order, the Third Master had absolute certainty and confidence.

"Southern Gate, what do you say? Are you all ready?" The Third Master turned and asked Immortal King Southern Gate.

Immortal King Southern Gate nodded: "Master, rest assured, I am fully prepared. I have already dismissed everyone else on this island. Even if I disappear, others will at most feel some confusion."

Immortal King Southern Gate had also perished in the Yuan Calamity in the past; the Third Master had told him this outcome before.

He had gone to the future world with the Third Master to defeat the Yuan Calamity.

But at the same time, if he went to the future, his past outcome would be considered changed.

Changing the life and death of an Immortal King was absolutely forbidden by the Heavenly Dao order.

But for the Third Master, there were only three words.

It doesn't matter.

"Since it's arranged, then let's go."

The Third Master wasted no words, turning his gaze to conjure a spatial-temporal gate.

He let Immortal King Southern Gate go first.

The moment the latter walked towards the spatial-temporal gate, a Karmic restraint immediately bound him in place, rendering Immortal King Southern Gate immobile.

This was the power of the Yuan Realm's Heavenly Dao consciousness, which even an Immortal King could hardly resist.

Clearly, the Heavenly Dao consciousness here had sensed that Immortal King Southern Gate was about to violate the Heavenly Dao order of this realm, thus it unleashed a Karmic restraint to suppress him.

"The Great Dao departs, Karma cycles."

"Dao of Karma, release."

The Third Master extended two fingers, their tips containing a wisp of his own Karmic order, and touched the Karmic restraints around Immortal King Southern Gate.

Bang!!

Those Karmic restraints of the Heavenly Dao consciousness, when faced with the Third Master's Karmic order, were assimilated directly, like a small stream flowing into a vast ocean.

"Enter," the Third Master said.

Immortal King Southern Gate, freed from the Karmic restraints, successfully entered.

The Third Master looked at Curse: "Do you still want to look around? After all, it's a beautiful memory."

Curse's immortal sense had almost swept across half of the Yuan Realm. He sighed: "Forget it. When I think that such a beautiful world will later become Hell on earth, with corpses strewn everywhere, there's no need to look."

Hearing this, the Third Master said nothing more and, along with Curse, successively walked into the spatial-temporal gate.

The three of them used the River of Time to safely return to Thatched Cottage from the Nine Ancestors Era.

Immortal King Southern Gate arrived in this era completely unharmed, without suffering any backlash.

This matter once again made Curse feel the terrifying power of this Third Master of the Thatched Cottage!
