Western Plain-Color Cloud Realm Flag

Ever since Mu Jizi emerged from the Purple Cloud Palace, his heart had been unable to calm for a long time!

Step by step, before he knew it, he had left Chaos and arrived above the Primordial Wilderness!

Looking down upon the vast Primordial Wilderness below, Mu Jizi felt an indescribable emotion stir in his heart!

With a soft sigh, an idea suddenly came to him, and he rode a cloud of auspiciousness toward the North Sea!

Before long, Two Sages Island was right before his eyes. He swept the island lightly with his divine sense, his eyes suddenly lit up, and with a flash, he stepped onto Two Sages Island!

At this moment, Two Sages Island was filled with birdsong and blooming flowers. Wisps of hazy spiritual mist permeated the air, dense innate spiritual qi drifted within it, and after three thousand years, the island seemed not to have changed in the slightest!

A smile covered Mu Jizi's face. His divine sense detected Kunpeng in his bamboo hut, and the joy in his heart needed no words!

"Worthy brother!" At the sound transmission, Kunpeng was startled within the bamboo hut. Then delight flooded his face. With a flash, he drifted out of the hut and looked at Mu Jizi standing before it, his face brimming with excitement!

"Elder brother, you've finally returned!" With those words, it was as though a bottle of five flavors had been overturned in Kunpeng's heart, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty all surging up at once!

After the battle in Chaos, he had relied on the unrivaled speed of his Roc true form to escape the joint siege of Redcloud Ancestor and Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi, then returned directly to Two Sages Island!

When the four of them had encountered the siege by Red Cloud and the others, they had already agreed to gather on Two Sages Island in the North Sea! Yet Kunpeng had returned alone long ago, only to find no sign of Mu Jizi or the two fairy maidens, Xihe and Yuehua!

This had naturally worried Kunpeng. Though he had long known of his elder brother Mu Jizi's strength, after witnessing Mu Jizi's powerful clash with Jieyin, he could not help but feel concerned!

One had to know that the endless chaotic currents within Chaos were not only terrifyingly destructive, but also possessed the power of assimilation. With Mu Jizi having given his defensive treasure to the two fairy maidens Xihe and Yuehua, facing the attacks of Zhunti and Jieyin, two Late-Stage Daluo Golden Immortals, even if he unleashed his innate divine ability, a single misstep might well have led to his fall!

Of course, that possibility was exceedingly small, but no matter how small it was, it still existed!

Coupled with their long separation, it was only natural that Kunpeng harbored some concern!

"Where are Fairy Maidens Xihe and Yuehua?" Seeing Kunpeng's genuine feelings laid bare, Mu Jizi was somewhat moved. He then casually asked!

Yet upon hearing the question, Kunpeng's body trembled slightly. His eyes widened as he said, "The two of them aren't with you, Elder Brother?"

"No." Mu Jizi shook his head, a bad premonition rising in his heart!

"What are we to do?" Sure enough, Kunpeng's expression changed. With a bitter smile, he said, "After the battle in Chaos ended, your foolish younger brother returned to Two Sages Island alone. Until now, I have only seen Elder Brother return alone! As for Fairy Maidens Xihe and Yuehua, there has been no trace of them!"

Mu Jizi frowned at this, astonished. "How could this be? I left the Green Lotus Treasure-Colored Flag with them. With the Green Lotus Treasure-Colored Flag's protection, the two of them should not have feared King Father of the East and Queen Mother of the West!"

Mu Jizi felt somewhat puzzled. As a supreme defensive Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Green Lotus Treasure-Colored Flag's defensive power went without saying. With such a defensive treasure, even if Xihe and Yuehua could not defeat King Father of the East and Queen Mother of the West, they should have been able to escape and return! Yet now they had vanished without a trace. It was truly strange!

"Could Elder Brother suspect that the two of them..." Kunpeng's face showed astonishment, followed by utter disbelief!

"Of course not!" Mu Jizi frowned and cut off Kunpeng's unfinished words. "Although I have known them only briefly, I can see their character. They would never do something so shameless!"

"Then perhaps something delayed them!" Kunpeng breathed a sigh of relief. He did not dare imagine how he would face Xihe and Yuehua in the future if his earlier guess had been right!

"I fear they may have run into some trouble!" Mu Jizi shook his head, dismissing Kunpeng's speculation!

"What are we to do, then?" Hearing this, Kunpeng's heart, which had only just settled, rose into his throat again!

Mu Jizi did not answer. Frowning, he sensed the trace of True Spirit bound to the Green Lotus Treasure-Colored Flag, only to find nothing. After pondering for a while, he finally said, "There is no other way for now. Let us wait on the island for a few days. If they still do not return, we can only go seek out Red Cloud and the others!"

"That is all we can do!" Kunpeng nodded, somewhat dejected...

Given the current situation, they could only resort to such a clumsy method!

The Primordial Wilderness was vast and boundless. In the East Sea stood an island mountain named Mount Fangzhu!

From high in the sky, Mount Fangzhu appeared hazy and indistinct, like a mass of mist impossible to see through! If a great supernatural cultivator were present, they would discover that Mount Fangzhu contained endless mysteries. Countless grand formations evolved upon it, radiating an inexplicable aura!

That day, two figures suddenly shot across the horizon. They were swift as lightning; one moment they were still at the edge of the heavens, the next they had arrived above Mount Fangzhu. With a flicker, they entered the mountain!

Within Mount Fangzhu, King Father of the East and Queen Mother of the West wore expressions of lingering fear. The instant they entered the mountain, they cast a great spell to activate the formations within. At once, wild winds howled, and streams of innate spiritual qi became violently spinning vortices! In the blink of an eye, the mountain range, once shrouded in mist, began to flicker in and out of sight, while waves of chilling killing intent spread through the air!

Only then did the two slowly let out a breath!

Then Queen Mother of the West said viciously, "Those two women truly had good fortune!"

"Pah!" King Father of the East spat, his face twitching as he said darkly, "Events truly defy prediction. Who could have imagined that two great supernatural cultivators would suddenly emerge halfway through!"

"Hmph!" Queen Mother of the West snorted, her face filled with unwillingness. "This time, we fell into Redcloud Ancestor's trap and provoked several great supernatural cultivators for nothing. I fear this will not end well in the future!"

Hearing this, King Father of the East frowned, just about to say something!

But suddenly, a majestic voice that resounded through heaven and earth swept across the entire Primordial Wilderness!

"Throughout the Primordial Wilderness, since I preached the Dao three thousand years ago, those who have attained the immortal path have become too numerous to count. Yet without governance, disputes have arisen time and again. This is improper. Today, I bestow the Immortal-Gathering Banner—the Western Plain-Color Cloud Realm Flag—to be governed by King Father of the East and Queen Mother of the West upon Mount Fangzhu in the East Sea. Henceforth, all who have attained the immortal path yet have not transcended the Five Elements: male immortals shall all fall under King Father of the East's command, and female immortals shall all fall under Queen Mother of the West's command!"

As those words were spoken, a small banner descended from the void toward Mount Fangzhu in the East Sea. As it fell, the banner emitted hundreds of millions of rays of golden light. In an instant, all whose cultivation had not reached the Golden Immortal realm felt their minds sway, and in the unseen depths of their hearts, a faint yearning arose...
