As time passed, Zhunti could no longer hold out. He had no choice but to summon the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree to face the great cauldron formed from the gathered Yin-Yang Two Energies.
Now, the Spiritual Energy in his body was nearly depleted. If he kept this up, he feared he wouldn't last much longer!
"Ye Jun! The people of the primordial world would all condemn such behavior!" Zhunti said gravely, glaring at Ye Jun with a venomous look.
If that Monkey hadn't followed him to this immortal island, Zhunti would already have taken the Bitter Bamboo and broken through to Quasi-Saint!
Ye Jun looked completely unconcerned and said earnestly, "Fellow Daoist Zhunti, what good does it do you to win a momentary war of words?"
"At a time like this, shouldn't you be thinking about whether you'll live or die? That great cauldron above your head is about to come down!"
Zhunti let out a cold snort. His mind was blank, and he couldn't remember any way to escape or any method of obtaining the treasure.
His most pressing concern now was how to get out from under the great cauldron above his head.
Looking at Zhunti's desperate state, Ye Jun sneered inwardly. That old bald donkey needed to be taught a lesson now.
Otherwise, who knew when he might suddenly show up and strike?
At that thought, Ye Jun lowered one hand slightly. The Yin Yang Great Cauldron instantly grew immensely heavy and came crashing down.
"Fellow Daoist, I concede! The Bitter Bamboo is yours by fate!" Zhunti begged.
He had no choice now. If he didn't admit defeat, Zhunti feared he would suffer grievous injuries, if not die!
Ye Jun sneered and swept out his sleeve. The Yin Yang Great Cauldron, which had just been suppressing everything, suddenly dispersed into tens of thousands of streams of Yin-Yang Two Energies.
"You're certainly a sensible man, Fellow Daoist. Since that's the case, I won't make things difficult for you any longer. Please!" Ye Jun said, gesturing with his hand.
Zhunti's mouth twitched. Ye Jun was really sending him away just like that? That Monkey was certainly decisive!
But there was nothing he could do. With a cold snort, he transformed into a streak of light and shot into the sky.
In an instant, a dazzling streak of light rose from Fangzhang Immortal Island. Seeing this, Ye Jun sneered inwardly.
Zhunti still wasn't willing to give up. He was playing this little trick here; making such a commotion as he fled could only mean he wanted more Great Beings to learn of the island's existence.
Since Zhunti couldn't claim the immortal island for himself, he might as well invite everyone to compete for it. That way, Ye Jun wouldn't have things so easy!
"Sigh, Zhunti. If you put that cleverness to use in your cultivation, you'd probably have already broken through to Quasi-Saint by now," Ye Jun muttered.
Then he shook his head and continued on. Fangzhang Immortal Island wasn't so easy to find.
Unless Zhunti came back in person after leaving. If he really did, Ye Jun wouldn't mind taking action again and making sure Zhunti never forgot it.
Ye Jun grinned, then began wandering around Fangzhang Immortal Island.
If he remembered correctly, Fangzhang Immortal Island had been formed from a fragment of Chaos. Its Spiritual Energy was denser than that of most Blessed Lands in the primordial world.
After wandering for a while, Ye Jun couldn't help but fall into thought. Now that Fangzhang Immortal Island had appeared, didn't that mean Yingzhou and Penglai weren't far away either?
There had to be a reason the innate Three Talents Great Array had been set up on Fangzhang Immortal Island.
At that thought, Ye Jun's figure flashed, and he appeared at the formation's eye, where he had been before.
He sat cross-legged and began analyzing the Three Talents Great Array. The Great Dao's evolution of all things ultimately led to the same destination by different paths.
Besides, Ye Jun wasn't trying to break the Three Talents Great Array. He only wanted to find a way through.
With his earlier study of the Yin Yang Array as a foundation, the Great Dao Laws around Ye Jun began to circulate faintly. A moment later, he opened his eyes.
"Found you!" Ye Jun cried, then vanished from Fangzhang Immortal Island in a flash.
When he appeared again, he was in an entirely different place. The island was still shrouded in dense fog, but Ye Jun didn't dwell on it and strode forward.
Before long, he spotted another stone stele. Drawing on his experience, Ye Jun looked more closely—and sure enough, it bore the two characters "Yingzhou"!
"This has to be Yingzhou Immortal Island!" Ye Jun muttered.
Ye Jun's face broke into a broad smile. He had found Yingzhou Immortal Island just like that. Surely this island, renowned alongside Fangzhang Immortal Island, had treasures no less remarkable than the Bitter Bamboo.
After walking for a while, Ye Jun suddenly spotted another stone stele.
It bore no words, but Dao Rhyme swirled around it, and it seemed to exert a powerful pull on the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth.
Ye Jun was puzzled. Aside from the boundary stele, could there be another stele on Yingzhou Immortal Island?
He held out one hand, and the stele flew straight into his grasp.
Ye Jun examined it from top to bottom but couldn't find anything unusual.
It seemed like an utterly ordinary stone stele, yet its pull on the surrounding Spiritual Energy was unmistakable.
"Could this stele be nothing but an illusion?" Ye Jun muttered.
He tightened his hand slightly, and the stele shattered at once.
A storm of Spiritual Energy erupted from within it. Ye Jun's eyes narrowed, and the Great Dao around him formed a barrier that kept the storm at bay.
Once the stele had completely disintegrated, a small fragment lay quietly in Ye Jun's palm.
Looking closely, he saw that it was a fragment of jade. Freed from the stele's restraints, the Dao Rhyme radiating from it was even stronger!
"This is..." Ye Jun cried out, quickly taking a closer look.
In the end, he identified the fragment.
"A fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation!"
Ye Jun grew excited. He examined it again and again, and it was indeed a fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation.
This fragment contained two of the supreme Laws: Time Laws and Space Laws!
There were three thousand Great Dao Laws and countless lesser laws. Of them, the Law of Strength, the Law of Destiny, Time Laws, and Space Laws were the most powerful. This tiny fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation already contained two of those supreme Laws.
His luck was unbelievable. Zhunti probably hadn't imagined that, after discovering Fangzhang Immortal Island, he would find such a great opportunity here!
Once Ye Jun refined this fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation, wouldn't he be able to master those two Laws?
At the thought of it, Ye Jun could hardly contain himself.
Of course, the Jade Disc of Creation made Ye Jun look forward even more to Penglai Immortal Island!
As the foremost of the three immortal islands, Penglai Immortal Island surely couldn't be so lacking in opportunities!
Ye Jun flipped his hand and tucked the fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation away, then continued onward.
He didn't know how long he had walked before he finally saw the last island: Penglai Immortal Island!
