A Land of Immortal Treasures, Cloud Perch Continent Beneath the Sunset Glow

The vast Tianyuan World had seven continents and five seas.

Over the Lingluo Sea, a rhinoceros two zhang long from head to tail and one zhang high at the shoulder trod across the waves.

Crimson, flame-shaped markings covered its body, and fire seemed to burn around its four hooves. Though it walked on the sea, the water parted on either side, sending ripples outward.

On the rhino's back sat a Daoist in a dark robe and azure crown. His eyes were half closed, his hands tucked into his sleeves. He sat as still as if upon a lotus throne, undisturbed by wind or waves.

A rhino spirit barely two zhang long would have been unremarkable among the countless spirits and beasts of the Lingluo Sea's boundless waters. But the aura of a great demon radiating from him was impossible to ignore.

The Lingluo Sea had Immortal Deities and Dragon Monarchs of the Upper Three Realms ruling their own territories, but apart from those mighty beings, a Spirit Transformation demon king was a power in his own right.

This rhino was precisely such a great demon: the Fireward Rhino King.

The Daoist on his back was Jiang Sheng.

The Fireward Rhino King had taken this one-zhang-tall form only to give Jiang Sheng a steady seat. If he revealed his true form without restraint, a thousand-zhang mountain range would be no more than a clod beneath his feet.

As he spread his Spirit Transformation demon aura to cow the surrounding aquatic creatures, the Fireward Rhino King asked cautiously, "Grand Master, where are we going next?"

True Lord Yuchen Lingyuan, master of the Little Penglai Immortal Realm and the Penglai Dao Sect, had four great demons under his command: the Shaking Mountain Green Ox King, the Red-Faced Golden Lion King, the Four-Tusk Elephant
