Divine Phoenix Island.
Many cultivators stood in the air and looked down at the surface of the sea as they discussed.
“There was such a huge commotion in the South Sea earlier on. I wonder what sort of a huge battle broke out there.”
“I reckon that there’s a high chance it was a Mighty Figure who attacked!”
Standing at the side, Mo Ying frowned slightly with a worried expression.
Right then, a cultivator in a white shirt walked over. He was scholarly and had a warm expression with a smile on his face.
“Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix!”
Many cultivators bowed hurriedly when they saw that person.
Even though Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix failed in wielding the Dragon Soul Saber three years ago, he still had an unshakable status after managing Divine Phoenix Island for many years!
Furthermore, he was the owner of another Divine Phoenix Bone to begin with!
For the past three years, Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix faced the wall at the edge of the South Sea. It was only recently that he regained his freedom and reappeared.
After all, back in the Dragon Soul Hall, Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix had been extremely restrained the entire time and did not say anything out of line.
“What are you guys discussing?”
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix asked with a smile.
“Earlier on, the South Sea suddenly surged in a berserk manner. All of us are guessing that there should be a fight between top-tier experts in the South Sea.”
Some cultivators said hurriedly.
“Yes,”
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix nodded slightly. “The surface of the sea is calm now. Seems like this battle has ended. Everyone, disperse and don’t linger here.”
“Understood.”
Many cultivators cupped their fists and turned to leave.
Swoosh!
Right then, the sound of water could be heard from the surface of the sea.
Three gigantic figures broke out of the sea with a thick blood stench!
All the cultivators looked over instinctively and their expressions changed!
“This is bad! It’s the Silver Fin Gigantic Tooth Shark!”
“Ah, that’s an Ancient Electric Eel!”
“There’s a Dragonfish as well! Eh, something’s not right?”
The moment the exclamation sounded, everyone noticed something unusual.
The three living beings of the sea were covered in injuries. Although their blood still emitted a tremendous amount of energy, they no longer had any signs of life.
The energy released by their blood alone was so strong!
The cultivation realms of the three living beings must have been at the Conjoint Body realm when they were alive!
“Strange, why would the corpses of three demon beasts jump out of the sea on their own?”
Right then, a sharp-eyed cultivator caught sight of a figure beneath the corpses of three demon beasts. The figure had scarlet hair that burned like flames and wore robes of the same color. He held the corpses of three demon beasts in one hand and a saber in the other.
“This is…”
Many cultivators were stunned.
Although it was declared that Su Zimo was the young master of Divine Phoenix Island, he entered the sea to cultivate thereafter and barely appeared.
None of the cultivators on the island recognized Su Zimo right away.
Only Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix’s gaze shimmered for a moment before returning to normal.
However, Mo Ying recognized Su Zimo right away and a smile finally appeared on her face. She came before the latter with relief and bowed. “Young master, you’re finally back.”
“Greetings, young master!”
The cultivators of Divine Phoenix Island reacted and bowed.
As the young master of Divine Phoenix Island, he was practically superior to everyone except a single person—he could mobilize thousands of troops given his status!
Even some Conjoint Body elders had to greet Su Zimo if they saw him!
Su Zimo’s gaze shifted to Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix.
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix smiled and bowed slightly towards Su Zimo. “Greetings, young master.”
His smile was very sincere and looked like a spring breeze, giving one a good impression and trust unconsciously.
“Young master, this is…”
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix pointed to the three demon corpses in Su Zimo’s hands. “If I’m not wrong, those three Grand Demons are famous demons in the South Sea.”
“I don’t know them,”
Su Zimo said, “They tried to encircle and kill me at the bottom of the sea but I slaughtered them casually. The flesh of these three Grand Demons is precious so I brought them along. It’s a good opportunity to share it with the cultivators of the island.”
Even if a Grand Demon were to die, they would be filled with treasures from head to toe.
Notwithstanding bones, fangs and claws, the flesh of these Grand Demons alone possessed extremely pure energy.
Furthermore, the energy within the flesh of a Grand Demon that had just died was not as berserk and was relatively gentle—it was the most suitable to consume!
The surrounding cultivators exclaimed excitedly when they heard that.
Su Zimo tossed the three Grand Demons into the crowd casually. “You guys can take care of it.”
“Young master, you are generous,”
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix could not help but exclaim, “Those three Grand Demons are notorious throughout the South Sea. To think that they would be killed by you.”
“I see that you have yet to advance to the Conjoint Body realm. To think that you would already possess such combat strength. How admirable.”
If it was anyone else, they would definitely reveal joy upon hearing those praises.
However, Su Zimo’s expression was calm as he suddenly asked, “I’ve never met these three Grand Demons before. Why do you think they wanted to kill me?”
“I don’t know,”
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix said in a deep voice, “The reasons should be only revenge or for some treasures. I’m guessing that the three Grand Demons must have taken a liking to some treasure in your possession and became greedy when they saw that you were only at the Dharma Characteristic realm.”
That explanation made sense.
“Right,”
Suddenly, Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix took out a golden invitation from his storage bag and handed it to Su Zimo. “A few days ago, Divine Phoenix Island received an invitation from the young master of Penglai Island of the East Sea to invite you over for a chat.”
“East Sea Penglai?”
Su Zimo murmured softly and took the invitation.
A line of red words was written on the invitation, as though it was burning with flames and revealing a sharp edge. “I heard that the young master of Divine Phoenix Island is newly established. Congratulations!”
“I’m also curious about Fellow Daoist Long Mo. Right now, the East Sea Fusang Flower is blossoming and it’s extremely rare. Here’s an invitation for Fellow Daoist Long Mo to head over for a chat to admire the flowers and drink tea. Please don’t decline, Fellow Daoist.”
In the cultivation world, there were two islands and one palace.
The two islands referred to the South Sea Divine Phoenix Island and the East Sea Penglai Island!
Mo Ying took a look at the invitation and nodded. “Indeed, it’s from Penglai Island.”
“Who is the young master of Penglai Island?”
Su Zimo asked.
“His Dao title is Mystic Frost and he’s at the Conjoint Body realm,”
Mo Ying said, “There are similarities between Penglai and Divine Phoenix Island. Most of the cultivators on the island cultivate the saber Dao as well.”
“However, the saber Dao left behind by the Saber Emperor possesses a tough aura and involves large swings. On the other hand, the saber Dao inheritance on Penglai Island is sinisterly gentle and utilizes cunning angles.”
“How’s the relationship between the two islands?”
Su Zimo asked again.
“Not bad,”
Mo Ying said, “Since cultivators of the two islands cultivate the Dao of the saber, it’s inevitable for them to spar. However, there’s no deep feud and there has never been any major conflicts.”
“The invitation is quite polite. Why don’t you head over Penglai Island to check it out, young master?”
“Oh?”
Su Zimo raised his brow.
Mo Ying explained, “Firstly, you are just newly established in your position. Even without the invitation of Mighty Figure Mystic Frost, you would have to head over to Penglai Island to check things out sooner or later.”
“Secondly, the Fusang Flower is blossoming on Penglai Island right now. This is a rare opportunity,”
The Fusang Tree was the divine tree of the East Sea!
Legend has it that when the Fusang Flower blooms, a ball of flames will burst forth from each flower in an extremely stunning manner.
In fact, there were even cultivators who comprehended the Dao through observing the blossoming of the Fusang Flower!
