If that person really was Dingguang Immortal, then the one who rescued him was most likely Daoist Duobao!

Within the Jie Sect, there were very few people capable of driving back the Three Xiao sisters and Zhao Gongming in one fell swoop. As the Jie Sect's foremost chief disciple, Daoist Duobao definitely possessed that strength!

"Then does that mean the one who truly wanted to seize Fifth Senior Brother's Primordial Violet Qi was... First Senior Brother?"

Qiongxiao voiced the suspicion lingering in everyone's hearts.

Everyone's faces twitched.

As everyone knew, when Tongtian Cult Master had obtained the Primordial Violet Qi, Daoist Duobao had regarded it as his for the taking.

But Tongtian Cult Master had given that strand of Primordial Violet Qi to Li Xiao. It was no wonder Daoist Duobao bore a grudge and sought to seize Li Xiao's Primordial Violet Qi.

At once, everyone fell silent!

Although they hated Daoist Duobao's shameless conduct, he was the First Senior Brother of the Jie Sect, a figure second only to one and above all others within the sect.

More importantly, Daoist Duobao had severed one corpse many years ago and attained the body of a quasi-saint.

The depth of his cultivation was unfathomable!

Even if all of them joined forces, they likely would not be Daoist Duobao's match!

"Everyone, it would be best not to spread word of what happened today for now. We still do not know whether that person was Immortal Chang'er Dingguang. If we are mistaken, would that not be slandering First Senior Brother? The teacher may punish us for it!"

Li Xiao looked at the four of them and spoke.

The four nodded.

Li Xiao grinned. "No rush. As for whether that person was Dingguang Immortal, we will know once we return and test him! Come on, let's pick the Purple Zhu Fruit first!"

Everyone nodded.

The group immediately headed for Taoyuan Island.

Taoyuan Island was easy to find, and the five quickly picked the Purple Zhu Fruit.

"This Taoyuan Island is rather nice. Since we've already picked the Purple Zhu Fruit, why don't we have a good nap here?"

Li Xiao said with a beaming grin.

As he spoke, he flipped his hand and produced a homemade recliner.

Then he lay down on it comfortably.

Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao sisters were speechless.

"Fifth senior brother, this place is dangerous. We should return!"

Yunxiao knew full well that the person who had rescued Dingguang Immortal was very likely Daoist Duobao. She felt somewhat uneasy and urged him to leave.

"Ah, Yunxiao, Junior Sister, relax. That person was just scared off. He won't come back!"

Li Xiao said dismissively, curling his lip.

As he spoke, he changed positions and continued sleeping.

Before long, his thunderous snores rang out. He had already fallen sound asleep.

Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao sisters could only smile bitterly.

Helpless, the four had no choice but to remain on Taoyuan Island as well.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Xiao leisurely woke up, stretched, yawned, and said, "A nap really feels damn good..."

"Fifth senior brother, why not have some wine here too? Wouldn't that feel even better?"

Qiongxiao said irritably.

Li Xiao's eyes lit up. Delighted, he said, "That's a good suggestion, Qiongxiao, Junior Sister! Junior Brother Gongming, did you bring any wine?"

Li Xiao's last question was directed at Zhao Gongming.

The Three Xiao sisters were covered in black lines...

Chapter 38: Being with Li Xiao Was Really Stressful

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The Three Xiao sisters all turned to look at Zhao Gongming.

Zhao Gongming hastily changed the words that had reached his lips, shaking his head. "No!"

Li Xiao sighed. "Ah, what a pity! Come on, let's return to Golden Ao Island and drink ourselves silly!"

With that, Li Xiao took the lead and rode the clouds onward.

Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao sisters followed behind him.

Suddenly, Li Xiao's cloud ahead came to a halt.

Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao sisters were baffled.

"Fifth senior brother, what is it?"

Bixiao asked.

"Well... this humble Taoist suddenly sensed a fortuitous opportunity!"

Purple qi swirled in Li Xiao's eyes as he stared into the distance and muttered.

"A fortuitous opportunity?"

Qiongxiao froze.

Li Xiao immediately transformed into a streak of light and fled into the distance.

After traveling a short while, they saw mist shrouding the area ahead. Divine light shot into the heavens, rosy clouds radiated in all directions, and purple qi even billowed upward.

Overjoyed, Li Xiao parted the clouds and mist, cutting through brambles and waves as he pressed onward.

When he drew near, he discovered an incomparably enormous island.

Rather than an island, it was more like a small continent. It stretched for hundreds of millions of li in every direction, vast and unending. Mountains could vaguely be seen lying across it, giant trees pierced the sky, and lush forests covered the land, while auspicious beasts frolicked and ran about within.

Li Xiao and the other four set foot upon the immortal island.

An incomparably dense wave of spiritual energy washed over them, leaving the Dao Hearts of all five exceptionally clear.

Everyone fixed their eyes ahead.

Then they saw an incomparably enormous spiritual spring formed at the center of the immortal island.

The spiritual spring had formed because spiritual energy had grown so dense that it liquefied.

At the center of the spring stood an incomparably massive white lotus. The white lotus was twelve-grade, towering above the river and radiating incomparably holy light that dyed the entire immortal island white.

"This is... the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus?"

Qiongxiao cried out in shock.

Zhao Gongming, however, found a boundary stele and exclaimed, "This is Penglai Immortal Island, one of the Three Immortal Islands said to have been formed from Chaos Fragments!"

"What? This is actually the legendary Penglai Immortal Island?"

Everyone exclaimed in astonishment.

Just then, the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus transformed into a streak of light and flew directly into Li Xiao's brow.

"This..."

Qiongxiao cried out.

Yunxiao sighed. "Lingbao possess spirits. Upon encountering its master, it naturally took the initiative to acknowledge him!"

Although Qiongxiao and Bixiao were somewhat reluctant to let it go, there was nothing they could do.

After all, Li Xiao had been the one to sense Penglai Immortal Island. Since the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus had acknowledged Li Xiao as its master, there was nothing unreasonable about it.

What made everyone cry out in shock next was that Penglai Immortal Island also voluntarily acknowledged Li Xiao as its master.

The group walked around the immortal island once and secretly praised Penglai Immortal Island's beautiful scenery.

"Hehe, this humble Taoist had long wanted to move out and live on his own. Who would have thought I would encounter Penglai Immortal Island today!"

Li Xiao said joyfully.

On Golden Ao Island, Tongtian Cult Master would keep him in check from time to time, making Li Xiao feel extremely constrained. That was why Li Xiao had begun thinking of finding a dojo of his own.

Next, the group left Penglai Immortal Island and prepared to return to Golden Ao Island.

Midway through the journey, Li Xiao suddenly stopped his cloud again.

"Fifth Senior Brother, why have you stopped again?"

Bixiao asked.

"Well... this humble Taoist sensed another fortuitous opportunity!"

Li Xiao grinned.

"You sensed another fortuitous opportunity?"

Everyone exclaimed.

Li Xiao then transformed into a streak of light and fled into the distance.

After traveling a short while, Li Xiao saw another immortal island ahead.

That immortal island was also enormous. Peaks rose and fell across it, auspicious aura billowed, immortal cranes flew through the skies, auspicious beasts roamed about, and all was peaceful and serene.

Everyone landed on the island.

"This is Yingzhou Immortal Island?"

Bixiao spotted the boundary stele and exclaimed.

Li Xiao grinned. "My luck is really good today!"

Just then, a streak of light shot over and flew directly into Li Xiao's brow.

Li Xiao froze. After sensing it slightly, he found that it was a fragment of a shattered jade disc.

"Holy shit, could this be a fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation?"

Li Xiao cried out in shock.

"Fifth Senior Brother, what treasure just acknowledged you as its master?"

Qiongxiao asked sourly.

"Well... this humble Taoist doesn't know yet either. We'll talk about it after we return!"
