Harvesting the Three Immortal Islands, a Turning Point! Purple Mansion's Conspiracy

"Suppress!"

With that single word, Di Jun raised his eyes slightly. Ripples appeared in the void before him as the Chaos Bell flew from Taiyi's hand and landed in front of him.

In an instant, Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire erupted. Boundless chaos manifested, revealing the poles of Yin and Yang, the Taiji Bagua, and the entire cosmos. Countless visions emerged as if the world were evolving into a myriad of phenomena. The surrounding space seemed to collapse in an instant, replaced by a gray, hazy realm imprinted with Dao patterns.

This was the Chaos Grand Array guarding the Three Immortal Islands!

"Unnecessary. You think a mere array can stop me? Ridiculous!"

Seeing Taiyi and the others move to assist, Di Jun waved his hand and stepped forward with a calm expression.

With every step, a Golden Path emerged beneath his feet; with every step, the Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire were pacified. Behind him, the chanting of trillions of beings echoed, as if jade palaces and towers were filled with ethereal music, while boundless mist and brilliant divine light cascaded down.

Wherever Di Jun passed, the void tore open and the array retreated. His Dynasty Crown seemed to sublimate to its peak, its influence spreading outward as all the experts and high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Court followed closely behind.

Soon, Di Jun and his party easily crossed the Chaos Grand Array and stepped into the self-contained space where the Three Immortal Islands resided.

Before their eyes stood three ancient, majestic, and towering immortal islands.

Even the smallest of the three was over a trillion times the size of the Milky Way Galaxy from Di Jun's past life. Each island had reached the level of a Middle Thousand world—and a peak one at that. They possessed a faint, rule-based Dao Rhyme, as if they were on the verge of ascending to the Great Thousand level!

To call them islands was an understatement; they were three magnificent, vast worlds.

They were none other than the legendary Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang.

"There are no particularly strong restrictions or arrays inside the islands themselves; all defensive measures were concentrated in the Chaos Grand Array. Bai Ze, you ten go to Fangzhang Island to scavenge for resources. Taiyi—"

His eyes transformed into golden pupils, layers of runes constructing themselves within. Di Jun's gaze swept across the islands, seemingly taking everything in; all wonders and hidden secrets appeared to be laid bare.

After confirming there were no issues, Di Jun withdrew his gaze. He had intended to send Taiyi and Nuwa to scavenge Yingzhou Island while he headed to Penglai, but before he could finish, Nuwa interrupted him.

"I shall accompany Your Majesty."

Nuwa's voice was cold and calm.

"Right, right, right! I'll go search Yingzhou Island alone. I don't like being with others anyway," Taiyi said with a chuckle.

"Very well."

Di Jun nodded slightly. He didn't care much; it was a trivial matter, and either way was fine.

"Then, let us begin!"

Di Jun said with firm resolve.

He had to hurry. His comprehension of the Method of Mythological Imperial Dynasty was deepening, and he was only one medium away from a complete breakthrough. Once this matter was settled and the Heavenly Court was on the right track, he could devote himself entirely to seclusion and fully deduce the Method of Mythological Imperial Dynasty!

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Purple Mansion, Donghua Palace.

East King Duke's face was livid. After dismissing all the high-ranking officials of the Purple Mansion, he sat cross-legged, his ugly expression instantly returning to calm.

Turning his head toward a patch of empty space, East King Duke said coldly, "Is this the sincerity of those behind you?"

"Your Majesty, those lords have already provided you with the information on the Three Immortal Islands. It is simply that you failed to seize the opportunity."

An aged voice emerged from the void, and a blurry figure appeared before East King Duke.

"Heh. Since I did not obtain the Three Immortal Islands, what use is this 'sincerity'? If you want me to work for you, then provide more sincerity. Otherwise, why should I, the Head of Male Immortals appointed by the Dao Ancestor, bother to defect to you?"

East King Duke sneered.

"I will report this to the lords, but please remember, Your Majesty: you are not our only choice. The Heavenly Court is also a very good option."

The blurry figure said calmly.

"Then go find those two feathered beasts! I am the orthodox ruler of the Primordial Wilderness! Do you really think I can't see through your plans?"

"Enough. I don't want to waste more breath. The Heavenly Court already has three Quasi-Saints. If you want me to unify the Primordial Wilderness, then find a way to help me attain the Quasi-Saint fruit and further enhance the foundation of my Purple Mansion. Otherwise, don't talk to me about cooperation."

East King Duke said indifferently.

"..."

The blurry figure.

Are you cultivating for yourself or for us? You want us to help you break through to the Quasi-Saint level?

Damn!

You bastard really has some nerve.

"I will report this."

After a moment of silence, the figure replied.

With that, the figure stopped talking and turned to leave. Just as the shadow was about to dissipate completely, its originally blurry form gradually became clear.

It was Zhen Yuanzi!

"I don't care about the power struggles of you big shots. I only care about the Dao! Whoever helps me attain the Dao, I will be their man!"

Watching Zhen Yuanzi's disappearing back, a burning ambition appeared in East King Duke's eyes, as if he were speaking to himself.

Time flew by, and years passed in the blink of an eye.

Outside the Three Immortal Islands, Di Jun and the other high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Court gathered once more.

"Your Majesty, these are the resources we have obtained."

Bai Ze handed over a spatial seal. Di Jun's immortal sense swept through it, perceiving the vast amount of heavenly treasures stored within.

"Your Majesty, all resources have been acquired, excluding the three islands themselves."

Taiyi also handed over a spatial seal.

"Not bad. This trip was quite fruitful. Even at the Heavenly Court's current rate of growth, this is enough to last for a Kalpa. This show of force in the Eastern Sea against the Purple Mansion should also attract more beings to join the Heavenly Court. Taiyi, handle this matter. After we return, I need to continue my seclusion."

A smile appeared on his face as Di Jun said with satisfaction.

Enough resources for an entire Kalpa!

These Three Immortal Islands were truly worthy of the name Chaos Fragment!

It was worth noting that Di Jun did not find any of the so-called God-Slaying Spears or World-Destroying Black Lotuses mentioned in many Primordial Wilderness novels on the islands.

However, the Creation Green Lotus did exist. Although it was not the twelve-petaled variety, it was nine-petaled; with proper cultivation, it might not be impossible to restore it to the twelve-petaled level.

Beyond that, there were countless Innate Spiritual Roots and other treasures. To say that the Heavenly Court had become wealthy overnight would be an understatement; it was more than enough.

"Your Majesty, are we not going to refine these three islands and integrate them into the Heavenly Realm? If we did, the Heavenly Realm might even have a chance to challenge the Great Thousand level."

Taiyi asked, puzzled.

"Not yet. I fear there is something strange about these Three Immortal Islands. I need to prepare; it won't be too late to refine them once I am absolutely certain."

Thoughts raced through his mind about the strange way the Three Immortal Islands were rumored throughout the Primordial Wilderness, and how East King Duke had precisely located them. Di Jun shook his head.

"Yes."

Taiyi nodded and asked no more.

"Very well, let us return."

Di Jun said slowly.

Return!
