Eavesdropping on Inner Thoughts, Yunxiao Draws Her Sword Against Dingguang Immortal at the Start
If that person really is Dingguang Immortal, then the one who saved him was most likely Duobao Daoist!
Within the Intercepting Sect, there are very few who possess the strength to force back both the Three Xiao sisters and Zhao Gongming. Duobao Daoist, as the chief disciple of the Intercepting Sect, absolutely has that kind of power!
"So, the one who truly wanted to snatch Fifth Senior Brother's Primordial Violet Qi was... First Senior Brother?"
Qiongxiao voiced the suspicion in everyone's hearts.
Everyone's faces twitched.
As everyone knew, when Tongtian Cult Master obtained the Primordial Violet Qi, Duobao Daoist had considered it as good as his. However, Tongtian Cult Master bestowed it upon Li Xiao. It was no wonder Duobao Daoist would hold a grudge and try to snatch Li Xiao's Primordial Violet Qi.
At this, everyone fell silent!
Although they detested Duobao Daoist's despicable actions, he was the First Senior Brother of the Intercepting Sect, a figure second only to the Master within the sect.
More importantly, Duobao Daoist had severed one of his corpses many years ago, achieving the body of a Quasi-Saint. His magical power was unfathomable!
Even if all of them combined, they likely wouldn't be Duobao Daoist's match!
"Everyone, it's best not to spread word of today's events for now. We don't know for sure if that person was Chang'er Dingguang Immortal. If we make a mistake, we'd be slandering First Senior Brother, and we might incur the Teacher's punishment!"
Li Xiao said, looking at the other four.
The four nodded.
Li Xiao grinned and said, "No rush. As for whether that person just now was Dingguang Immortal, we'll know once we get back! Let's go, we'll pick the Purple Zhu Fruit first!"
Everyone nodded.
Immediately, they headed to Taoyuan Island.
Taoyuan Island was easy to find, and the four easily picked the Purple Zhu Fruit.
"This Taoyuan Island is quite nice. Since we've already picked the Purple Zhu Fruit, why don't we take a nice long nap here?"
Li Xiao's face was full of smiles as he grinned.
As he spoke, he flipped his hand, revealing a self-made lounge chair, and comfortably lay down.
Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao sisters were speechless.
"Fifth Senior Brother, this place is dangerous. We should go back!"
Yunxiao knew that the one who saved Dingguang Immortal was very likely Duobao Daoist, and she felt a bit apprehensive, urging him on.
"Oh, Junior Sister Yunxiao, don't worry. That person just got spooked; he won't come back!"
Li Xiao dismissively pouted.
As he spoke, he shifted his position and continued to sleep.
Before long, his snores rumbled like thunder; he had fallen soundly asleep.
Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao sisters could only offer wry smiles.
Helpless, the four of them had no choice but to stay on Taoyuan Island.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Xiao slowly woke up, stretched, and yawned, "What a damn good sleep..."
"Fifth Senior Brother, how about we have some wine here? That would be even more comfortable?"
Qiongxiao said with a hint of exasperation.
Li Xiao's eyes lit up, and he said joyfully, "Junior Sister Qiongxiao, that's a great suggestion! Junior Brother Gongming, do you happen to have any wine?"
Li Xiao directed the last sentence to Zhao Gongming.
The Three Xiao sisters were speechless...
Chapter 38: Being with Li Xiao is truly stressful
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
The gazes of the Three Xiao sisters all focused on Zhao Gongming.
Zhao Gongming, about to speak, quickly changed his words and shook his head, "No!"
Li Xiao sighed, "Ah, what a pity! Let's go, we'll go back to Golden Ao Island for a proper drink!"
Saying that, Li Xiao led the way, riding the clouds.
Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao sisters followed behind.
Suddenly, Li Xiao's cloud stopped ahead.
Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao sisters were bewildered.
"Fifth Senior Brother, what's wrong?"
Bixiao asked.
"That... This humble Taoist suddenly sensed an opportunity!"
Li Xiao's eyes were filled with swirling violet energy as he looked into the distance and muttered.
"An opportunity?"
Qiongxiao was stunned.
Li Xiao immediately transformed into a beam of light and fled into the distance.
After traveling a short distance, he saw mist ahead, divine light soaring into the sky, multicolored rays of light shooting out in all directions, and even purple energy rising.
Li Xiao was overjoyed. He pushed aside the clouds and mist, hacking and slashing his way forward.
Upon approaching, he discovered an unimaginably vast island.
It was less an island and more like a small continent, spanning hundreds of millions of miles, stretching endlessly. Vaguely visible upon it were rolling mountains, towering trees reaching the sky, forming dense forests, and auspicious beasts running and playing within.
Li Xiao and the other four stepped onto the immortal island.
An extremely dense spiritual energy washed over them, making their Dao hearts feel clear and refreshed.
Everyone gazed intently.
Then, they saw that in the center of the immortal island, a colossal spiritual spring had formed.
This spiritual spring was formed by spiritual energy so concentrated that it had liquefied.
In the middle of the spiritual spring, there was an unimaginably large white lotus. The white lotus had twelve petals and stood majestically in the water, emitting an incredibly pure and holy radiance that illuminated the entire immortal island in white.
"Is this... the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus?" Qiongxiao exclaimed.
Zhao Gongming, however, found the boundary marker and cried out, "This is the Penglai Immortal Island, one of the three immortal islands formed from legendary Chaos fragments!"
"What? It's the legendary Penglai Immortal Island?" Everyone exclaimed in disbelief.
Just then, the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus transformed into a beam of light and directly entered Li Xiao's forehead.
"This..." Qiongxiao gasped.
Yunxiao sighed and said, "Spiritual treasures have spirits. When they encounter their master, they naturally recognize them!"
Although Qiongxiao and Bixiao felt a pang of reluctance, there was nothing they could do.
After all, it was Li Xiao who had sensed Penglai Immortal Island, and it was only natural for the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus to recognize Li Xiao as its master.
Following this, to everyone's astonishment, Penglai Immortal Island also voluntarily recognized Li Xiao as its master.
The group walked around the immortal island, secretly praising its beauty.
"Heh heh, this humble Taoist has long wanted to move out and live independently. Today is perfect, I've actually encountered Penglai Immortal Island!" Li Xiao said happily.
On Golden Ao Island, Tongtian Cult Master's constant supervision made Li Xiao feel very uncomfortable, which is why he had the idea of finding his own dojo.
Next, the group left Penglai Immortal Island, preparing to return to Golden Ao Island.
On the way, Li Xiao suddenly stopped his cloud chariot again.
"Fifth Senior Brother, why have we stopped again?" Bixiao asked.
"Well... well, this humble Taoist has sensed another opportunity!" Li Xiao grinned.
"Sensed another opportunity?" Everyone exclaimed.
Immediately after, Li Xiao transformed into a beam of light and fled into the distance.
After traveling a short distance, Li Xiao saw another immortal island ahead.
This immortal island was also extremely vast, with layered peaks, auspicious energy rising, cranes flying, and auspicious beasts running about, presenting a scene of peace and harmony.
The group landed on the island.
"Is this Yingzhou Immortal Island?" Bixiao saw the boundary marker and exclaimed.
Li Xiao grinned and said, "My luck today is truly excellent!"
Just then, a beam of light shot over and directly entered Li Xiao's forehead.
Li Xiao was stunned. After a slight scan, he realized it was a fragment of a broken jade disc.
"Holy cow, could this be a fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation?" Li Xiao exclaimed in disbelief.
"Fifth Senior Brother, just now... what treasure recognized you as its master again?" Qiongxiao asked with a hint of sourness.
"Well... well, this humble Taoist doesn't know yet. We'll talk about it when we get back!"
