Encountering an Immortal on Golden Turtle Island, Long-Eared Commits Evil, Lin Zhu Takes Action!

Sui fashioned torches and announced it to the heavens.

Immediately, the Heavenly Dao responded.

Endless Auspicious Clouds gathered from the void, shrouding the entire Human Tribe.

The next moment!

A massive Merit Golden Cloud descended from Outside the Nine Heavens and merged into Sui's body.

Sui was completely enveloped in golden radiance, his entire body emanating a sacred glow.

All the members of the Human Race prostrated themselves on the ground.

The Human Race's Fortune gathered, then increased severalfold.

Feeling this boundless Merit, Sui was overjoyed.

If not for Lin Zhu's guidance, how could he have made torches in such a short time, earned the Heavenly Dao's recognition, and received this descending Merit?

Merit was immensely beneficial to cultivation.

If he fully refined this Merit, his cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds.

However, refining this Merit could not be accomplished overnight.

Sui bowed toward the void, thanking Heaven and Earth for their grace, then thanking Lin Zhu as well.

Only then did he pass the method of making fire to his clansmen and promote it throughout the Human Race.

With fire, the Human Race could use it to drive away Fierce Beasts and eat cooked food.

By then, Lin Zhu had long since left the Human Tribe and arrived at the Eastern Sea Coast, standing atop a mountain.

The moment Sui created fire, Lin Zhu immediately sensed it.

"Sui has finally come through hardship... But I didn't expect this to involve me as well?" Lin Zhu looked at the Merit Golden Light drifting down toward him.

As the Merit Golden Cloud descended, Lin Zhu also received some Merit for guiding Sui.

Though it was far less than Sui's, it was still quite substantial.

As the Merit entered his body, Lin Zhu could not help but rejoice.

With Merit upon him, his blessings and fortune would grow stronger, and he would encounter far fewer tribulations on the path of cultivation.

Even if tribulations came, he would be able to turn danger into safety.

If he refined the Merit into a Merit Golden Wheel and used it to protect himself, even a Great Power who wished to kill him would have to think twice.

Killing one with Merit would incur Karmic Force.

Once Karmic Force entangled one's body, it would trigger a killing tribulation, making it difficult to achieve the Dao.

Having obtained Merit, Lin Zhu opened a Cave Mansion atop the mountain, entered it, refined the Merit, and greatly increased his cultivation.

Though he had not reached the Grand Yi Middle Stage, his mana had grown considerably deeper.

While Lin Zhu was traveling,

A piece of news spread throughout the Primordial World.

When Hongyun Ancestor went to Five Villages Temple to visit his old friend Zhenyuan Great Immortal, he was ambushed by Kunpeng.

The two fought fiercely, and Red Cloud fell into a disadvantage.

Just as Kunpeng was about to kill Red Cloud, a mysterious expert secretly intervened, allowing Red Cloud to escape.

Once the news spread, Lin Zhu naturally learned of it.

However, he did not care much about it.

After all, grievances in the Primordial Wilderness had their own Karmic Bonds.

As a disciple of the Jie Sect, such Karmic Bonds would not implicate the Jie Sect.

Now that Lin Zhu had reached the Grand Yi Realm, he had the thought of revisiting the Three Immortal Island. He immediately left the East Sea and headed there.

Lin Zhu had once obtained a heaven-defying opportunity on the Three Immortal Island.

Now that his cultivation had improved, he used his divine sense to explore Yingzhou Island, Mount Penglai Island, and Penglai Immortal Island once more.

He did find some Spiritual Roots and spirit herbs that he had missed last time.

However, there were no particularly fine treasures.

After traveling through the Three Immortal Island, Lin Zhu prepared to continue searching the East Sea.

The Three Immortal Island were the most famous overseas.

Yet there were also quite a few other Immortal Islands.

He traveled all the way, wandering here and there, admiring the sights upon the sea and living freely at ease.

One day, Lin Zhu suddenly arrived at a place where, as far as the eye could see, several islands stood upon the sea.

Ancient Trees towered over each of the islands, and spiritual energy was rich and dense.

Around the largest island, Purple Qi surged and Auspicious Clouds coiled. It was clearly an Immortal Island.

Had the powerful figures of the Primordial Wilderness found this island before? Were there any treasures on it?

Lin Zhu's figure flickered, and he landed upon the largest island.

The island stretched for thousands of miles. Strange peaks rose across it, with giant trees, bizarre rocks, deep ravines, secluded springs, exotic flowers, and strange plants—all were present.

"It truly is an Immortal Island!"

Lin Zhu could not help sighing inwardly.

He immediately began searching the Immortal Island.

There were some spirit herbs on the island, but their grades were not high.

Clearly, someone had set foot on this island before.

As Lin Zhu searched the island, he suddenly sensed what seemed to be fluctuations of energy ahead. His heart stirred, and he shot toward that direction.

Sure enough, within a mountain range, Lin Zhu saw a giant turtle.

It was a Golden Turtle, hundreds of zhang in size. Golden Light gleamed across its body, and Dao Charm seemed to flow around it. It was clearly extraordinary.

Not far from the Golden Turtle stood a gaunt man in green robes.

The man's features were fairly proper, but he had one enormous ear.

"Golden Turtle, I advise you to leave quickly and surrender this island!"

"Otherwise, do not blame this poor Daoist for killing you and severing your Dao root," the green-robed man shouted.

The Golden Turtle swayed its massive head. "I was born on this island. This island is my home."

"You bully me so. Aren't you afraid of provoking a Karmic Bond?"

The green-robed man laughed loudly. "What Karmic Bond? This island is destined for me. This poor Daoist came to this Immortal Island under its guidance. In the unseen world, all things are fated."

"If you refuse to leave, you may stay and become this poor Daoist's mount. What do you say?"

"This poor Daoist will teach you Dao arts and help you Transform sooner. Would that not be wonderful?"

The Golden Turtle said, "With a disposition like yours, why would I submit to you and become your mount? Keep dreaming."

The man in green could not help sneering. "Since that is the case, do not blame me for killing you and refining your shell into a Dharma artifact."

As soon as his voice fell, mana surged around him. With a wave of his hand, he struck at the Golden Turtle, sending a palm shadow crashing forth.

Though the Golden Turtle's mana was not high, its defense was exceptional. It drew in its head and withdrew into its shell.

The green-robed Daoist's palm shadow struck the Golden Turtle's back, only to rebound.

"I never thought I would run into them!"

"Golden Turtle Island and the future Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal!"

Standing in the void, Lin Zhu had already recognized the green-robed man's origins and understood where he was.

That was right!

This island was Golden Turtle Island.

It was also the future site of the Jie Sect's sacred grounds.

That Golden Turtle must have been the island's original owner.

The green-robed Daoist should be Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal, the rabbit demon who would later become one of the Seven Attendant Immortals.

Lin Zhu naturally knew of Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal.

This man cultivated the Dao of yin and yang and enjoyed dual cultivation. During the Investiture of the Gods War, he took the Six Souls Banner and defected to the Western Sect, leading to the destruction of the Jie Sect.

Yet he later became Dingguang Joyful Buddha in the Western Sect.

"This scoundrel truly is vile. No wonder he betrayed the Jie Sect. Now that I am the First Disciple of Jie Sect, I should sever this Karmic Bond."

With that thought, Lin Zhu's figure flashed, and he landed on the ground. He shouted, "What a shameless bully!"

Long-Eared Rabbit was startled and turned toward Lin Zhu.

The Golden Turtle also stuck out its head and looked over.

Long-Eared Rabbit's eyes darted about as he repeatedly examined Lin Zhu, yet he could not discern Lin Zhu's cultivation. He concluded that Lin Zhu's mana could not be very high.

With that thought, Long-Eared Rabbit's heart settled.

"Kid, do not meddle in others' business. If you leave now, this poor Daoist will not make things difficult for you. What do you say?"
