Shaoyang Daoist, Eastern King Duke?!

At this moment, a young man in a green robe descended from the clouds. He was tall and slender with a handsome appearance and a dashing demeanor. If it weren't for his Daoist-style topknot, one might mistake him for a romantic scholar.

The young man bowed respectfully from afar, saying, "This humble Daoist priest, Shaoyang, greets all fellow Daoists. Please forgive my unintentional eavesdropping."

Wu Chu leaped off the ship's railing, and Houtu and Qingqiu Li also rose from their deck chairs to greet the Daoist Donghua, saying, "This Mountain Recluse Who Never Leaves (Houtu and Qingqiu) greets fellow Daoist!"

After bowing, Wu Chu looked at the 'Shaoyang Daoist' and asked, "May I ask where your immortal home is? I have heard that there are Three Immortal Islands in the Eastern Sea. Are you an immortal from one of those Three Immortal Islands?"

Houtu and Qingqiu Li looked at Wu Chu with some curiosity, wondering where Wu Chu had heard these so-called rumors.

Why, after living with him for so many years, have they never heard of him?

Shaoyang Daoist cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist, your knowledge is vast and I admire you. I never imagined that the name of the Three Immortal Islands of the Eastern Sea would already be known throughout Qingqiu."

Although he didn't know who Wu Chu and Houtu were, he had heard of the name 'Qingqiu'. Especially since there were Qingqiu Fox in the Eastern Sea Dragon Court now.

After a pause, Daoist Shaoyang continued, "My place of cultivation, Tang Valley, is one of the Three Immortal Islands. It is ten million miles east of here, and you will reach it."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chu was taken aback, for this was different from what he had imagined. After all, the Three Immortal Islands he knew did not include the Tang Valley.

Moreover, Tang Valley is most famous for its top-grade Spirit Root, the Fusang Tree, and the ten Golden Crow on the Fusang Tree.

Legend has it that Xi He, the wife of Di Jun and the mother of the ten Golden Crow, was born in Tang Valley. This led to the legends of the sun rising from Fusang, the Golden Crow emerging from Tang Valley, and Hou Yi Shoots the Suns.

But now, this Shaoyang Daoist is actually in Tang Valley... This...

Wu Chu suddenly thought of someone, the Eastern King Duke, who was known as the Fusang Great Emperor.

Could this person be the Eastern King Duke, the Fusang Great Emperor?

Wu Chu wanted to ask, "Are you the Eastern King Duke?"

But thinking about it, asking that question was rather abrupt and felt rather strange.

Does anyone know if the current Eastern King Duke is still called Eastern King Duke?

If it really is that Fusang Great Emperor, then it seems to make sense why Di Jun and Taiyi would want to kill him in the future.

This guy's Daoist Temple is in Tang Valley, so how could the Fusang Tree not belong to him? If Di Jun hadn't killed him, how could there have been the sunrise over Fusang later?

Who knows, that Sun Goddess Xi He was the one who was abducted by Di Jun back then!

Wu Chu suddenly became a bit Eight Trigrams.

"Does Fellow Daoist Shaoyang have any other Daoist names?"

Wu Chu finally couldn't resist his curiosity and casually asked a question.

Shaoyang Daoist looked at Wu Chu with some curiosity, but finally nodded and said, "In Tang Valley, I do indeed have the Daoist name 'Wood Duke'."

It's confirmed! This guy is definitely that loser, Eastern King Duke!

"Is it because the East belongs to the element of wood?" Wu Chu asked again.

"..."

Shaoyang Daoist looked at Wu Chu with some strangeness, as did Houtu and Qingqiu Li.

Who asks such detailed questions about the origin of Human Path name?

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.

Wu Chu coughed lightly and said, "I was just curious, please don't take offense. I see that you exude an extremely strong and yang aura, which should belong to the fire element! So why are you called 'Wood Duke'? I really can't figure it out, hence this question."

Hearing Wu Chu's explanation, the young Eastern King Duke breathed a slight sigh of relief and smiled, "Perhaps it's because of my Spirit Root!"

Now, Wu Chu could guess what kind of Spirit Root he was talking about.

Of course, he didn't foolishly continue to ask if that Spirit Root was the top-grade Spirit Root, the Fusang Tree.

If you actually ask that question, we'll probably all start fighting soon.

"I see!" Wu Chu nodded in understanding, then casually summoned a reclining chair, placed it on the table, and invited the young Eastern King Duke to sit down.

The young Eastern King Duke looked at the recliner, a strange glint in his eyes.

The strange celestial boat, which is also a Merit Spiritual Treasure, the strange chair, the strange clothes... and the strange behavior just now.

In the eyes of the Eastern King Duke, Wu Chu were strange no matter how you looked at it.

If he hadn't just heard Wu Chu's remarks, he really wouldn't have wanted to jump out, nor would he have dared to, since there were two other people here whose cultivation was no weaker than his.

Especially that 'Qingqiu', presumably the ruler of Qingqiu, who is an even more ancient being than him. Although the Qingqiu Fox Clan is not known for its magical combat, who dares to underestimate them?

"Little Moon Spirit, bring up some pastries for Fellow Daoist Shaoyang to try. Xiao Yu, make some tea!"

After inviting the Eastern King Duke to take a seat, Wu Chu gave instructions to Little Moon Spirit and the Little Fox.

"Okay!"

The two girls responded and began to get busy.

The Eastern King Duke looked at all this strangely, and then, seeing Wu Chu looking at him, he chuckled and said, "Why does my fellow Daoist look at me like that? Is there something you don't understand?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Chu was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist is too kind. I am truly ashamed; sometimes I am just too curious..."

Houtu and Qingqiu Li didn't quite believe this. They both thought that Wu Chu wasn't very curious, which was why he preferred to stay in Purple Jade Mountain and not come out.

If he had even a little more curiosity, he probably would have already run off and been out having fun. But judging from Wu Chu's somewhat out-of-control question just now, it seems he is indeed quite curious about this Fellow Daoist Shaoyang. I wonder where these strange ideas of his come from?

However, with outsiders present, they didn't dare to ask Wu Chu too many questions. They sat quietly to the side, handing over the initiative to Wu Chu, giving the impression of 'the man is in charge of external affairs, and the woman is in charge of internal affairs'.

They were naturally unaware that Wu Chu's curiosity was entirely piqued by the Primordial World fantasy novels he had read.

In the Primordial World fantasy novels he had read, the role of the Eastern King Duke was always tragic. Although he was the head of all immortals, almost no one paid him any attention.

He was eventually killed by Di Jun and Taiyi. Although he was later reborn as Emperor Donghua, his status and identity were still extremely noble, but compared to Taishang and the others, he was far inferior.

Originally, he and Taishang and the others were considered to be fellow Daoists of the same generation.

"Alright, let's not talk about those issues anymore, lest you think I'm acting strange again, fellow Daoist." Wu Chu laughed heartily, making a self-deprecating joke, which successfully amused Eastern King Duke. He then continued, "However, it is quite fate that we met Fellow Daoist Shaoyang here. Nowadays, the Eastern Sea is the domain of the Dragon Clan, so it's not convenient for you to travel around, fellow Daoist!"

"Who says otherwise!" Eastern King Duke sighed softly and said, "Back then, those old dragons of the Dragon Clan also approached me, but unfortunately, I was not interested. However, as you said before, is my refusal also a form of prejudice?"

"..."
