"No matter."
Ye Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his robes rustling in the gusts of Chaos Qi.
Within his dual pupils, the gray light blazed ever brighter, as if rapidly deducing the operational trajectory of the formation before him.
Under the gaze of his Chaos Heavy Pupils, the seemingly unsolvable chaotic killing formation was being stripped away layer by layer.
The flow of energy, the shifting of formation eyes, the alternation of life and death gates... every secret was laid bare before his eyes.
"Though this formation is perilous, it is not without a solution."
A confident smile curled at the corner of Ye Xuan's mouth.
"Three Fairies, would you be willing to lend me your strength?"
A flicker of surprise passed through Yun Xiao's eyes, then she said solemnly, "Daoist Ye, just give the orders. My sisters and I will give our all."
"Good."
Ye Xuan wasted no more words, raising his hand to point at the upper left of the formation.
"Fairy Yun Xiao, please unleash your magic treasure and strike the Qian Position with full force—that is the hub of the formation's spiritual energy flow. Sever it!"
"Bixiao, you attack the lower right Kun Position. That is the formation's foundation. Use your Golden Flood Dragon Scissors to cut it apart!"
"Fairy Qiong Xiao, please hold the Central Palace position. If the formation backlashes, you must suppress it!"
Ye Xuan's voice was steady and forceful, carrying a commanding presence that inspired trust.
The Three Xiao Fairies exchanged glances, then acted without hesitation.
"Move!"
Yun Xiao waved her delicate hand, and a vast beam of Primordial Unity Immortal Light blasted forth, striking the Qian Position Ye Xuan had indicated with pinpoint accuracy.
"Watch me!"
Bixiao cried out, her Golden Flood Dragon Scissors transforming into two Primordial Yin-Yang Flood Dragons. With a sharpness that could sever all things, they bit viciously into the Kun Position.
Qiong Xiao, meanwhile, summoned a Top-grade Houtian Spirit Treasure Flying Sword. Her Sword Qi spread in all directions, locking firmly onto the Central Palace position.
"Boom—!"
When three Primordial Unity Golden Immortals struck with full force, the sheer momentum was staggering.
Coupled with Ye Xuan's precise guidance from his heavy pupils, every attack landed on the formation's weakest nodes.
The once smoothly operating Innate Chaos Great Formation instantly let out a strained groan, as if buckling under the pressure.
The surging Chaos Mist began to tremble violently, and the runes within shattered in cascading fragments.
"Now!"
A sharp gleam burst from Ye Xuan's eyes.
His form flickered, and he transformed into a streak of golden light, charging straight to the front of the formation.
"Open!"
Ye Xuan struck out with both fists. The Five Great Secret Realms within him resonated in unison, unleashing the full force of his Great Emperor-level Physical Body Strength without reserve.
Crack!
A deafening, earth-shattering sound rang out.
The Primordial Formation that had guarded this place for countless eons was finally torn open, a gaping rift forced through it.
The dense mist scattered in an instant.
A broad Space Channel appeared before them.
"We did it!"
Bixiao cheered.
Before anyone could react, an overwhelmingly dense surge of spiritual energy burst forth from the channel like a floodgate opening.
This spiritual energy was incomparably pure—not Houtian Spiritual Qi, but the Innate Spiritual Qi that had long vanished from the Primordial Wilderness!
It was so thick it had nearly turned liquid, forming a visible storm of spiritual energy that buffeted their faces, causing every pore to open wide as if bathing in celestial nectar.
"Such rich Innate Spiritual Qi!"
Yun Xiao took a deep breath, feeling her own mana circulation speed up noticeably.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Ye Xuan stepped forward first, crossing into the channel. The Three Xiao Fairies followed close behind.
Passing through the spatial membrane, the group felt a momentary blur before their feet landed on solid ground.
When they took in the scene before them, even the well-traveled Three Xiao Fairies stood frozen in shock.
Before them lay a vast, boundless continent, suspended in the void.
At the shore where they had landed stood an Azure Stone Stele, towering ten thousand zhang high.
Ancient and weathered, the stele bore two bold, powerful characters carved in Innate Dao Script, radiating an endless depth of Dao resonance.
[Penglai]!
"It really is Penglai Immortal Island!"
Yun Xiao stared at the stone tablet, her voice trembling slightly.
The legendary first of the Three Immortal Islands—they had actually found it.
But what shocked them even more was the island's environment.
As far as the eye could see, rare flowers and exotic herbs covered the ground.
"Heavens! Is that a Ten Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit? Growing like a wild berry by the roadside?"
Bi Xiao pointed at a small tree beside her foot, laden with bright red fruits, her eyes nearly popping out.
In the outside world, a single Vermilion Fruit was enough to spark a fight among Golden Immortals, yet here they were everywhere.
"And this! Is this a Nine-Leaf Purple Ganoderma? It must be at least a hundred thousand years old, right? It's growing in a crack in the rock like a weed?"
Qiong Xiao could barely contain her shock as she looked down at the stone beneath her foot.
That was no ordinary stone—it was clearly an exposed chunk of Geng Metal Ore!
So rich!
This place was dripping with wealth!
Spiritual herbs and medicinal plants that were rare sights in the outside world grew here like roadside weeds, covering the mountains and fields.
The purple mist drifting through the air—that was a manifestation of the Great Dao Laws.
"We're rich, we're rich!"
Bi Xiao's face flushed with excitement. She rolled up her sleeves, ready to charge in and plunder everything.
"I'm taking all these treasures back to Golden Ao Island!"
"Hold on."
A hand reached out, stopping the excited Bi Xiao.
Ye Xuan's expression remained calm, unshaken by the treasures before him.
He looked at the three fairies, his tone steady but earnest.
"Three fairies, let's set some ground rules first."
"Entering Penglai was a joint effort."
"There are countless opportunities on this island, so let's establish a rule."
Ye Xuan pointed at the dense forest ahead, where treasures radiated light into the sky.
"Everyone gets a share; fortunes are earned by one's own skill. Whoever grabs something first keeps it—let's not let this harm our harmony."
"But if we encounter guardian spirit beasts or powerful restrictions, we'll join forces to deal with them, then distribute the spoils afterward."
"How does that sound?"
Hearing this, Yun Xiao, who had been worried about distribution, felt a wave of relief.
Faced with such immense temptation, Ye Xuan not only had no intention of hoarding everything but had proactively proposed such a fair arrangement.
This man's character was truly as bright as the sun and moon.
"Brother Ye speaks wisely."
Yun Xiao nodded solemnly. "We'll follow your suggestion."
Bi Xiao also stuck out her tongue, sheepishly pulling back the foot she had already stepped forward.
"Ah, I'll listen to Brother Ye! Anyway, there's so much here—we'll all fill our bags!"
With the agreement reached, the four no longer hesitated and began advancing into the island's interior.
Along the way, each displayed their unique skills.
Bi Xiao summoned the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, specializing in harvesting the dense patches of spiritual herbs.
Qiong Xiao, meanwhile, let her Sword Qi run wild, digging up the spiritual ores buried underground.
Yun Xiao was more meticulous, collecting rare seedlings of spiritual roots.
Ye Xuan wasn't idle either. With a sweep of his sleeve, he executed Sleeve Universe, sweeping up everything in his path—spiritual herbs and ores alike.
But he didn't linger long in these outer areas.
Because as they went deeper, the sensation in his heart grew stronger.
It was the instinctive craving of the Chaos Heavy Pupils for top-tier treasures.
At the very center of the island, in the region shrouded by an even denser purple mist...
Something seemed to be calling out to him.
"There..."
Ye Xuan stopped, his gaze piercing through layers of spiritual fog toward the central mountain range of Penglai.
"What Innate Supreme Treasure could be there? It's actually making my Double Pupils throb!"
A thought flashed through Ye Xuan's mind, and his heartbeat involuntarily quickened.
If it really was an Innate Supreme Treasure, then this trip to Penglai would be an absolute jackpot.
"Three Fairies, let's pick up the pace."
Ye Xuan turned and called out.
"The real good stuff is inside."
