Three Immortal Islands

Yet all of a sudden, Yuan Yan recalled an origin and legend concerning the Three Immortal Isles Overseas:

Legend had it that the Three Immortal Isles Overseas had not originally been islands native to the East Sea of the Primordial World. They had been formed from fragments of chaos that had fallen into the Primordial World, drifting through the chaotic void year-round. Only after incomparably long stretches of time would they intersect with the East Sea in space and time, briefly manifesting above its waters. This legend was likely not baseless.

He then thought of the Yinyang Grotto-Heaven. This grotto-heaven was likewise not fixed atop Mount Buzhou, but hidden deep within the endless void. Mount Buzhou merely served as its point of connection to the Primordial World.

Understanding gradually dawned on Yuan Yan, and an idea took shape in his mind!

"Whether it works or not, I'll know once I try!" Yuan Yan's expression turned solemn as the power of the Great Dao surged around him, roaring like a tide toward the location he had sensed.

Boom! Terrifying, peerless Great Dao power tore through the void, forcibly opening a stable passage amid the boundless emptiness.

Buzz! In the next instant, a vast, boundless colossal island appeared within his senses.

The island was far larger than an ordinary sea island, almost an independent continent. It could accommodate countless living beings to multiply, cultivate, and comprehend the Dao.

The entire immortal island was tightly shrouded by an ancient grand formation, vast and majestic, covered in endless mysterious formation patterns. Its spiritual radiance was restrained, and its aura unfathomable.

"Just as I thought!" A sharp gleam flashed through Yuan Yan's eyes. He hesitated no longer, stepping directly into the boundless void.

He first summoned the Nine Heavens Breath Soil. That mass of innate divine earth had initially been no more than several feet across, but it swelled with the wind, releasing ten thousand rays of golden light and a thousand streams of auspicious qi. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into an incomparably heavy golden earthen wall, firmly protecting him within, impervious to all techniques.

Immediately afterward, he summoned the Myriad Dao Primordial Gourd. Its mouth opened slightly, and an incomparably condensed beam of Yinyang Divine Light blasted forth.

Crash! Layer upon layer of spiritual ripples spread across the formation shrouding the immortal island as the Yinyang Divine Light forcibly tore open a gap.

Seizing that fleeting chance, Yuan Yan transformed into a dazzling divine light and plunged through the opening, vanishing into the boundless void in an instant.

As Yuan Yan's figure disappeared, the spatial rift torn open above the East Sea slowly closed. The formation also returned to calm. After its spiritual light flickered faintly, it vanished along with that mysterious immortal island, as though nothing had ever happened.

Yet Yuan Yan, who had already stepped inside the protective formation, did not dare relax in the slightest.

Earlier, fearing that delay would breed unforeseen changes, he had worried that the disturbance caused by tearing through space and locating the immortal island would draw the hidden experts of the East Sea. Thus, without taking the time to calmly study the formation's operating patterns, he had simply forced open a gap and barged in.

But that did not mean he could directly enter the immortal island and seek the opportunities within. The protective formation of this overseas immortal island was not so easily broken.

At present, he was trapped within a layer of the formation. To truly enter the immortal island, he feared he would have to expend considerable effort and time.

Suddenly, Yuan Yan's expression changed. He clearly sensed chaotic astral winds sweeping toward him head-on.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yuan Yan instantly pushed the Nine Heavens Breath Soil to its limit. The dense and mighty Earth Dao flowed around it, and the golden earthen wall shone brilliantly, firmly resisting the erosion of the chaotic astral winds.

Chaotic astral winds possessed infinite power. They could wear away a cultivator's fleshly body and extinguish the true spirits of living beings. To any cultivator in the Primordial World, they were an exceptionally terrifying danger.

Naturally, chaotic astral winds also came in different grades. Ordinary chaotic astral winds derived from chaos laws could only threaten cultivators below the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. But top-grade chaotic astral winds derived from the origin of the Chaos Great Dao could injure even the weakest Daluo Golden Immortals. Even mighty Hunyuan Taiji Golden Immortals, if careless, could suffer a great calamity.

The chaotic astral winds blowing toward him now were not quite so powerful, yet they were far from weak. They were enough to threaten a perfected Daluo Golden Immortal.

Fortunately, Yuan Yan's cultivation had already broken through to the late Daluo Golden Immortal realm, and he had the top-grade innate spirit treasure, the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, to protect him. Otherwise, with his strength, he would have found it difficult to deal with such chaotic astral winds so easily.

While fully activating the Nine Heavens Breath Soil to steadily resist the relentless erosion of the chaotic astral winds, Yuan Yan also concentrated on carefully observing the immortal island's protective formation, attempting to comprehend its operating patterns and find a path into the island's interior.

Only after observing and comprehending the formation for more than a hundred years did Yuan Yan gain a preliminary understanding of its operating patterns and make an accurate judgment. To enter the immortal island, I must first break through this layer of chaotic astral winds and reach the edge of the formation barrier. Then, whether I find a flaw in the formation or smash it apart with brute force, as long as I open a gap in the barrier, I can successfully enter the island!

With a clear judgment and plan in mind, Yuan Yan delayed no longer. He continuously poured his Great Dao power into the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, driving the might of this top-grade innate spirit treasure to its limit. While resisting the erosion of the chaotic astral winds, he fully unleashed the Yin-Yang Escape Art, causing time and space to exchange. With a single step, he crossed an endless distance of space and time.

At the same time, he continuously activated the Myriad Dao Primordial Gourd, actively drawing in the surrounding chaotic astral winds and breaking them down into pure Yin-Yang source power. In only a short while, he successfully reached the edge of the chaotic astral wind layer.

However, at this moment, an incomparably resilient formation barrier lay between the chaotic astral wind layer and the immortal island, completely separating the island's interior from the winds.

To truly enter the immortal island, he still needed to tear open a gap in this formation barrier.

With a slight probe, Yuan Yan grasped the defensive strength of the formation barrier. Without any dragging of feet, he immediately chose to use brute force to break open a gap.

Although forcibly breaking the formation would have a minor effect on the protective formation, the impact would be negligible. Moreover, this method saved the most time and meant he would no longer need to continuously expend power to activate the Nine Heavens Breath Soil against the chaotic astral winds.

Boom! Yuan Yan drove his Yin-Yang Dao to its limit and fully activated the Myriad Dao Primordial Gourd. A peerless divine light containing the profound mysteries of Yin-Yang's myriad transformations blasted forth. In an instant, the formation barrier was dissolved into a gap large enough to pass through.

Taking the opportunity, Yuan Yan transformed into a streak of light and instantly rushed into Yingzhou Immortal Island. In the blink of an eye, dense innate spiritual qi, mixed with pure Hunyuan primordial qi and wondrous Dao-rhyme spiritual essence, rushed toward him.

"I'm finally in!" Yuan Yan relaxed slightly inwardly, secretly marveling, What dense innate spiritual qi and Dao-rhyme spiritual essence. Which of the Three Immortal Isles Overseas is this immortal island?

When he had previously broken into the immortal island's formation, he had also attempted to divine the heavenly secrets. Yet this formation possessed the ability to conceal karma, fate, and heavenly secrets, and even he had been unable to deduce the answer.
