165: Finally, I entered the Immortal Island, and became a Pure White Lotus of the Twenty-Fourth Grade.

At this moment, Li Yun felt that his judgment had been flawed.

space vortex.

This thing seemed simple, but in reality, its danger was far more terrifying than the Space Turbulence and space storms of the outside world.

Of course, if there was enough time and patience, traversing the space vortex directly would indeed be much safer.

But Li Yun had no intention of wasting so much time in it; the previous two space vortices had already cost him a full four thousand years.

At this stage, the transformation speed of the Great Desolation over four thousand years was immense; no one knew how many Cultivators in the outside world had entered the Quasi-Saint Realm.

Most importantly, although he had delayed the time for Hongjun to attain the Dao, if he were to traverse this massive space vortex again, he might not even be able to emerge by the time the latter proved his Dao.

"I can't take this path anymore."

Almost instantly, Li Yun made up his mind. He tightened his grip on the green lotus axe, glanced at the twelve-grade creation azure lotus above his head, gritted his teeth, and used the Golden Light Escape to change his path, racing toward the Immortal Island.

Zizi—

Zizi—

For a time, the sound of spatial power crashing against the twelve-grade creation azure lotus echoed continuously.

Terrifying Space Turbulence, space storms, and Space Blades attacked him from all directions.

Fortunately, the defense of the twelve-grade creation azure lotus was strong enough, and combined with the axe Qi occasionally swung from the green lotus axe to tear them apart, he ensured his own safety.

However, bypassing this space vortex still cost him over a thousand years. After identifying a specific area, Li Yun directly unleashed "One Axe Splits Yin and Yang," one of the Nine Forms of Heaven Opening.

After forcibly carving out a spatial rift, he recklessly transformed into a Golden Crow and flew into the mist-shrouded Immortal Island using the Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Art.

Swoosh—

The sound of breaking through the air rang out as Li Yun's figure crossed the mist and directly entered the interior of the Immortal Island.

As far as the eye could see, the entire Immortal Island was currently brimming with a rich and vigorous aura of Life.

Countless flowers, plants, and trees within had already gained sentience, each emitting a dense medicinal fragrance; they were essentially humanoid walking Spirit Medicines.

Not only that, after entering the Immortal Island, Li Yun's Purple Gold Divine Pupils scanned the surroundings and spotted more than one innate spiritual root. Moreover, the grades of these innate spiritual roots were extremely high, and the aura they emitted had reached the level of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

However, the aura of these entities had not reached the level of being comparable to the innate spiritual roots within Kunlun Mountain, but they were at least at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Late Stage or even the Great Overarching Golden Immortal Perfection stage.

"Good heavens, as expected of an Immortal Island; the Heaven And Earth Treasures here are truly as numerous as ox hairs!"

His mouth agape, Li Yun let out a sigh of admiration before immediately springing into action.

Staying close to the ground, like a swarm of locusts passing through, he transferred Spirit Medicines, Spiritual Plants, and spirit flowers one by one directly into his middle dantian space.

In fact, if not for the special situation of this Immortal Island, Li Yun would have even had the urge to collect the entire island into his middle dantian space.

Just then, Li Yun suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

"Swoosh~"

The sound of breaking air rang out as a whip made of intertwined tree vines lashed out toward him.

Sensing the crisis, Li Yun quickly dodged to the side.

With a bang, a massive gouge was torn into the ground.

"Who goes there!"

With a low growl, Li Yun activated his Purple Gold Divine Pupils to look around.

Before long, he saw the source of the Vine Whip: it was a special Willow Tree. Its size reached nearly three thousand meters, and it was surrounded by dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. It was a High Grade innate spiritual root, and the aura fluctuations it emitted had reached the level of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal Late Stage.

"A Willow Tree?"

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Li Yun immediately flew over, carrying the green lotus axe.

Since it dared to attack him, he naturally wouldn't show any mercy.

Now that he was on an Immortal Island independent of the Great Desolation, he had few worries or reservations.

Shortly after, Li Yun successfully arrived at the Willow Tree's location. He swung the green lotus axe, sending a blast of axe Qi straight toward the opponent.

For a moment, the Willow Tree also seemed to sense the approaching danger. It quickly mobilized countless willow branches, waving them in mid-air to construct a shield-like barrier, forcefully blocking Li Yun's attack.

Although many willow branches were damaged as a result, it did not cause significant harm to the tree.

"As expected, my cultivation is still a bit weak."

Frowning, Li Yun was not in a good mood.

Even with the boost from an Innate Spirit Treasure, there was still an insurmountable gap in the face of an absolute power difference.

Since a Cultivator's methods couldn't handle it, Li Yun didn't hesitate any longer. With a thought, he floated down to the ground, his left hand forming a hand seal: "Manifestation of Heaven and Earth in Human Form, Activate!"

In the next second, his magic power and blood Qi surged simultaneously.

One could clearly see Li Yun's body enlarging at a visible rate: ten meters—one hundred meters—one thousand meters—ten thousand meters!

In an instant, Li Yun transformed into a sky-propping giant. Looking down from above, the previously three-thousand-meter-tall Willow Tree now appeared incredibly small.

With the corners of his mouth upturned, Li Yun raised the green lotus axe with one hand and said, "Grow!"

Instantly, the green lotus axe vibrated, its size expanding rapidly until it was even larger than the Willow Tree's Main Body.

With that, Li Yun swung the axe down without hesitation. The Willow Tree rapidly mobilized its willow branches for defense.

But this time, Li Yun had mobilized pure Physical Body strength, combined with the boost from the Void Law and the Innate Spirit Treasure. How could that Willow Tree possibly withstand it?

Slash—

In just a single encounter, the shield of willow branches was shattered.

Following that, a cold light flashed, and the green lotus axe split the Willow Tree's Main Body in two.

Without even a chance to leave behind a single word, that High Grade innate spiritual root-level Willow Tree was completely dead.

"Collect~"

Seeing this, Li Yun did not hesitate and waved his hand to store its Main Body into his middle dantian space.

Although it was dead, it was still a High Grade innate spiritual root; its corpse could still be sent into the swallowing heaven gourd to be converted into wine.

Having done all this, Li Yun no longer cared about the Spirit Medicines or Spiritual Plants in the Immortal Island. His massive body began to advance, heading straight for the areas where he had previously observed innate spiritual roots.

From then on, all the innate spiritual roots within the entire Immortal Island began to suffer.

His Late Stage Great Witch Physical Body strength was not inferior to the cultivation of these innate spiritual roots. With the addition of the Law and the green lotus axe, even an innate spiritual root at the Great Overarching Golden Immortal Perfection level was no match for Li Yun.

In just half a month, Li Yun had dealt with over thirty innate spiritual roots, taking their corpses and original fruits into his possession.

On this day, Li Yun, controlling his massive Manifestation of Heaven and Earth in Human Form body, finally reached the summit area. As far as the eye could see, a vast expanse of white lotuses grew in a lake shimmering with Three-colored Radiance.

The lake was massive. The lotuses on the periphery were Three-grade; the closer to the center, the higher the grade of the lotuses. Especially in the center of the lotus pond, there was a lotus with a full twenty-fourth grades growing there.

In an instant, Li Yun's body trembled, as if he had seen something unbelievable. He stared fixedly at the lotus in the center and blurted out, "twenty-fourth grade world-cleansing white lotus!"

"How is this possible!"

"How could this thing reach the level of twenty-fourth grades?"
