19: Finally entered Penglai

Ten thousand years later, one man, one dragon, and one Qilin arrived at the location mentioned by Ao Jiang.

Taiqing carefully observed this sea area.

This sea area was much more prosperous and fertile than the ones they had passed through before.

On the seabed, many spiritual plants and Spiritual Roots were growing.

The density of Spiritual Qi in this sea area was also much higher than in many of the areas they had previously traversed.

This resulted in a much larger population of Aquatic Tribes in this sea area compared to others, with many more powerful beings among them.

"Great Master, every time this immortal island intersects with the Honghuang World, a significant amount of innate spiritual qi escapes.

Over time, as the intersections between the immortal island and the Honghuang World increased, the innate spiritual qi concentration at this meeting point naturally became much higher than in other sea areas.

This was also how my Dragon Clan searched for the appearance of immortal islands in the past.

Inside the immortal island, the concentration of innate spiritual qi is terrifyingly high, to the point where it directly liquefies into spiritual liquid.

Even if one doesn't obtain any spiritual plants or Spiritual Roots within that immortal island, simply absorbing that Innate spiritual liquid can yield immense gains."

As if sensing Taiqing's confusion, Ao Guang took the initiative to explain the phenomenon of the abnormally dense innate spiritual qi.

"So that's how it is. Although the immortal island has not yet manifested, once it intersects with the Honghuang World...

...the innate spiritual qi inside, so dense it liquefies, will naturally diffuse into the sea area where the intersection occurs.

The living beings, Spiritual Roots, and spiritual plants at the intersection point all benefit from the immortal island.

It truly is a boundless creation.

In that case, it is very likely that Penglai Immortal Island will intersect with the Honghuang World in this sea area."

After confirming that Penglai Immortal Island was likely to intersect with the Honghuang World in this region...

...Taiqing found an island and settled down to Cultivate.

He wanted to enter Penglai Immortal Island in his peak state to ensure he could definitely advance to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm.

Otherwise, he would have to wait until the birth of Yu Qing , Shang Qing.

Only then, with the Three Pure Ones working together to explore the Pangu Legacy, would it be possible to advance to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm.

After Penglai Immortal Island intersects with the Honghuang World, it will take another ten or so long periods of time before the next immortal island intersects.

Taiqing could not afford to wait that long.

After all, the final battle of the Dao-Demon Conflict between Old Thief Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohu could begin at any moment.

Once the Dao-Demon Conflict ends, Hongjun will soon attain the Dao and become a Saint.

At that time, the Heavenly Dao will become even more powerful.

An even more powerful Heavenly Dao, combined with the sainted Hongjun, will suppress all living beings, making it difficult to ever again walk the Path of Dao Attainment through Law.

Taiqing could not gamble with his own fate and future; he had to attain the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Dao within this Penglai Immortal Island.

To step upon that Path of Dao Attainment through Law.

"A pity I did not inherit Father God Pangu's Law of Strength. If I could attain the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Dao with the Law of Strength as the core...

...the road ahead would certainly be much easier.

Now, I can only unify the Five Elements with Yin and Yang and combine them with the Law of Qian Kun to attain the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Dao.

Trying to comprehend the Law of Strength solely through my own abilities is still far too difficult."

Taiqing calculated in his heart.

Since his birth, Taiqing had never given up his efforts to comprehend the Law of Strength.

But over so many long periods of time, Taiqing's progress wasn't just minimal; it was practically non-existent.

Taiqing had originally wanted to follow a path of attaining the Dao with the Law of Strength as the core.

But reality had dealt Taiqing a harsh blow.

The Law of Strength is truly not something just anyone can meddle with, not even Taiqing, who was transformed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit.

Fortunately, Taiqing had successfully merged the individual Laws of the Five Elements—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—to comprehend the Innate Five Elements Law.

Furthermore, in the years after comprehending the Five Elements Law, Taiqing had also gained insights into the Law of Qian Kun.

Taiqing prepared to unify the Laws of Yin Yang, the Five Elements, and Qian Kun to attain the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm.

"I forgot back then; I should have asked the will of the father god to pass the Legacy of the Law of Strength to me.

If I had inherited the Law of Strength, why would I have to struggle to comprehend it myself?"

Only now did Taiqing secretly lament, wondering what he had missed at the summit of Mount Buzhou.

But regret was useless now; the will of Great God Pangu would not be able to manifest in the Honghuang World again for a short time.

Even if Taiqing were to ascend to the summit of Mount Buzhou again, burn incense in prayer, and cry his eyes out before the pangu tablet...

...the will of Great God Pangu would not be able to manifest.

While Taiqing was cultivating, Ao Jiang and the Ink Jade Qilin were also cultivating.

Taiqing would not allow his mounts to be too weak.

His mounts were like half-Disciples to him, so urging them to Cultivate was only natural.

The Ink Jade Qilin and Ao Jiang had no complaints; they had wanted to slack off, but after witnessing Taiqing's terrifying Comprehension Ability, they began to compete with each other.

This was because the Ink Jade Qilin and Ao Jiang discovered that in less than one long period of time...

...Taiqing had actually comprehended the Innate Five Elements Law and the Law of Qian Kun in succession.

And he had comprehended both to the Peak Daluo Golden Immortal level.

What kind of monstrous Prodigy Genius had they taken as their master?

Originally, the dragon and the Qilin had a mindset of just drifting along, but after seeing their master's terrifying nature...

...under Taiqing's urging, they both began to Cultivate with intense internal competition.

As the saying goes, competition breeds motivation.

The Ink Jade Qilin and Ao Jiang both exerted all their effort, swearing to see who was the strongest mount.

The man, the dragon, and the Qilin cultivated silently on the island, and nearly one long period of time quickly passed.

Though called a small island, its size was actually larger than the Universe Taiqing lived in in his previous life.

This small island was equivalent to a Minor Thousand Worlds.

Below the Minor Thousand Worlds, there are three Ranks: Small World, Medium World, and Great World.

A single Universe could at most be considered a Great World.

From this, one can see just how vast and boundless the Honghuang World truly is.

Because Taiqing and his two mounts were cultivating on this small island...

...the island gradually became lively.

Countless aquatic beings, Innate beings born on the island, and Plant spirits all gathered on the island.

The phenomena and Law fluctuations formed by the cultivation of three Grand Unity Golden Immortals were immense opportunities for these lower-Realm beings.

In his spare time, Taiqing would occasionally give a sermon at the center of the island.

This made the island even more bustling.

Most importantly, Taiqing discovered that every time he gave a sermon, he actually received a trace amount of Karma.

This discovery made Taiqing feel as if he had found a new world.

"It seems the Opportunity of giving sermons isn't something only that fellow Old Thief Hongjun can obtain.

Could I perhaps make some plans?

Even if I cannot completely seize the Opportunity to educate the myriad races of the Honghuang World from that fellow Old Thief Hongjun...

...I can still win quite a bit of Karma for our Three Pure Ones and Twelve Ancestral Witches."

Keeping this in mind, Taiqing stopped thinking about other things and instead looked excitedly toward a certain direction outside the island.

Because Taiqing discovered that the concentration of innate spiritual qi in this sea area was slowly rising.

Although the speed of the increase was very slow, with Taiqing's powerful Primordial Spirit, he still keenly sensed this abnormality.

Combining this with the information from Ao Jiang, what did this mean? It meant that Penglai Immortal Island was about to appear.

Taiqing called the Ink Jade Qilin and Ao Jiang and quickly rushed toward the direction where the innate spiritual qi was spreading.

"Boom!"

Not long after Taiqing set out, he heard a terrifyingly loud sound coming from the Void Realm.

Dense innate spiritual qi spread out from the source of that loud sound, nourishing the boundless sea area.

With a look of joy on his face, Taiqing sat atop the Ink Jade Qilin, which carried him at high speed toward the place where the fluctuations were emanating.

"Penglai Immortal Island, I, Taiqing, have come!"
