The two of them headed east and soon arrived at the Eastern Sea Coast.

Before them stretched a vast, boundless sea. Its waves were magnificent, the sea and sky blending into one, endless as far as the eye could see. Even Lin Xiu felt his heart and mind broaden.

Xuan Du could not help sighing in admiration at the sight.

On this journey through the Primordial Wilderness, even if they gained nothing else, broadening their horizons was itself a reward.

"Let's go!"

Lin Zhu spoke calmly, then soared into the air and darted into the distance.

Xuan Du hurriedly followed.

The two traveled across the sea, and in the blink of an eye, another hundred years passed.

They did find several islands rich in Spiritual Qi amid the sea.

However, those islands contained only Spiritual Roots and spirit herbs.

Xuan Du and Lin Zhu gathered all of those Spiritual Roots and spirit herbs.

They truly found nothing else.

One day, the two were flying through the sky.

Suddenly, an island entered Lin Zhu's sight.

The island spanned ten thousand li. Lush trees covered it, Spiritual Qi churned across it, and it was clearly an Immortal Island.

"Senior Brother, that island is truly magnificent. It is an excellent place, and there may well be treasures upon it," Xuan Du said.

Lin Zhu nodded. "Come on. Let's search the island first."

He immediately rose into the air with Xuan Du and flew toward the island, landing upon the Immortal Island.

Lin Zhu said, "Junior Brother, let us search separately. If you encounter danger or make a significant discovery, call out."

Xuan Du nodded in agreement.

The two then split up. Lin Zhu went west while Xuan Du went east, and they began searching.

Lin Zhu extended his divine sense, constantly probing the island, afraid of missing some fortuitous opportunity.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi on this island was exceptionally dense, and the scenery was pleasant. Countless ancient pines stood tall, while birds flitted through the forest.

The vegetation was too dense, making Lin Zhu's search more difficult.

He searched carefully and found several spirit herbs, all of which he collected.

Several days later, Lin Zhu received a message from Xuan Du.

"Senior Brother, there seems to be a discovery here. Come take a look."

Lin Zhu immediately shot toward the location Xuan Du had mentioned.

Sure enough, Xuan Du stood above a forest, waiting for Lin Zhu's arrival.

When Lin Zhu arrived, Xuan Du pointed below and said, "Senior Brother, there seems to be a stretch of ruins buried here. An aura of slaughter is emanating from within."

Lin Zhu immediately extended his divine sense and swept it below.

Countless broken walls and crumbling structures lay concealed beneath the forest. Through his divine sense, he discovered that the ruins were enormous.

Though only ruins remained, Lin Zhu could still imagine how grand the buildings had once been.

"Let's go down and investigate."

Lin Zhu descended into the forest and began searching carefully.

Xuan Du followed close behind.

Before long, the two discovered a stone stele.

The stele was well preserved, and they did not know what material it was made from.

However, it bore many sword marks.

From those marks, one could infer that the swordsman had undoubtedly been a powerful expert.

Several large characters were carved upon the stele: Penglai Immortal Palace.

Lin Zhu's eyes abruptly lit up, though his brows furrowed slightly.

"Senior Brother, have you heard of Penglai Immortal Palace?"

Xuan Du had emerged into the world relatively late, so he naturally knew nothing of Penglai Immortal Palace.

However, Lin Zhu was a transmigrator and naturally knew its origins.

He replied at once, "There is a legend in the Primordial Wilderness that the Dao Ancestor once appointed Donghua Shangxian as Dong Wanggong in the Purple Cloud Palace, making him the leader of the male immortals. He also appointed Xi Wangmu as the leader of the female immortals, commanding all female immortals under Heaven."

"Yet this move stirred dissatisfaction among others!"

"At the time, Dijun and Donghuang were both exceptionally talented and ambitious. When they saw the Dao Ancestor appoint Dong Wanggong as the leader of the male immortals, they became dissatisfied."

"Dong Wanggong possessed profound fortune. While traveling abroad, he discovered an Immortal Island: Penglai Immortal Island, one of the legendary Three Immortal Islands Overseas."

"The island held countless exotic treasures. After obtaining them, Dong Wanggong used his immense Divine Power to build the Penglai Immortal Residence upon the island and drew numerous Primordial Wilderness experts to his side."

"Countless experts of the Primordial Wilderness answered his call and gathered at the Immortal Palace, creating the Primordial Immortal Court. For a time, its influence soared to the heavens, and ten thousand immortals assembled."

"At that time, Dong Wanggong was full of vigor and lofty ambition. He even issued an order demanding that Dijun and Taiyi come to pay their respects."

"By then, Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun had already established the Heavenly Court and had long been dissatisfied with Dong Wanggong's actions."

"Thus, the Heavenly Court and the Immortal Court came into conflict."

"After several clashes, Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi summoned numerous demon gods and demon kings, leading a great army to attack the Immortal Court."

"That battle shook Heaven and Earth, and countless experts perished."

"After the great battle, the Penglai Immortal Court was reduced to ruins, while Dong Wanggong died beneath the Eastern Emperor Bell."

"The Penglai Immortal Court thus came to an end."

"There is a stele of the Penglai Immortal Court here, so this place must be Penglai Immortal Island." Lin Zhu recounted the tale in detail, a strange glint appearing in his eyes.

Dong Wanggong's cultivation had been so profound, and his power so immense, yet he had still failed to escape defeat and death.

The dangers of the Primordial Wilderness were plain to see.

Xuan Du sighed repeatedly after hearing this.

From the scale of the ruins, he could also imagine just how powerful the Penglai Immortal Court had once been.

Yet unfortunately, it had ultimately been nothing more than a fleeting bloom, swallowed by the tides of the Primordial Wilderness.

"Since this is the ruins of the Immortal Court, there may be rare treasures left behind. If we search carefully, we should gain something."

After their reflections, Lin Zhu and Xuan Du began carefully searching the ruins of the Penglai Immortal Court with their divine senses.

Lin Zhu continuously searched the ruins of the Penglai Purple Residence Immortal Court, afraid of overlooking anything.

The Penglai Immortal Court covered a vast area. Yet after searching for nearly a month, they still found nothing.

After all, following the destruction of the Penglai Immortal Court, countless Primordial Wilderness experts had come here hoping to pick up overlooked treasures.

This place had been searched who knew how many times.

Still unwilling to give up, Lin Zhu continued probing with his divine sense. Suddenly, his figure moved, and he landed before a stone stele.

Many mysterious patterns were carved upon it.

Lin Zhu recognized at a glance that it was a Magic Array.

By now, his understanding of arrays was far from shallow. In addition, after receiving teachings from Tongtian Sect Leader, his mastery of Magic Arrays had risen to another level.

The array on the stele was somewhat incomplete.

However, Lin Zhu could tell that the array diagram carved on it was extraordinarily powerful, countless times stronger than the Innate Array within the Violet Lightning Hammer.

He hurriedly sat cross-legged and began comprehending the Magic Array on the stele, hoping to gain something from it.

Not long afterward, Xuan Du, who had found nothing, also arrived nearby.

Seeing Lin Zhu comprehending the stele, he did not disturb him. Instead, he sat nearby to cultivate and quietly waited for Lin Zhu.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years passed.

Lin Zhu gradually comprehended the mysteries of the stele, and his control over Magic Arrays rose to another level.

He had even completed the incomplete Magic Array within his mind.

Suddenly, Lin Zhu's heart stirred.

He discovered that the stele seemed to conceal some information.

Lin Zhu carefully sensed it and scrutinized it closely.

At last, a stream of information appeared within his sea of consciousness.

The information on this stele was actually related to Mount Penglai Island and Yingzhou Island among the Three Immortal Islands Overseas.

Lin Zhu hurriedly contemplated what he had learned in detail.

He hoped to uncover the locations of the other two Immortal Islands.
