"Are you referring to the other two immortal islands?"
Ao Li asked curiously.
There were three Immortal Islands in total. Besides Penglai Immortal Island, there were also Fangzhang Immortal Island and Yingzhou Immortal Island.
But in her view, finding even one of them was already an enormous stroke of fortune for Tongtian.
Surely this guy did not intend to claim all three Immortal Islands for himself?
That was simply impossible!
Tongtian wore a helpless expression as he listened. Finding Penglai Immortal Island had already been a matter of fate.
He had no desire to waste more time on the other two elusive immortal islands.
Rather than doing that, he might as well head to Buzhou Mountain and try his luck.
"Buzhou Mountain."
Ao Li spoke in surprise. "Buzhou Mountain?"
"There are indeed many opportunities there, but can we really make it up the mountain?"
"As far as I know, quite a few cultivators have gone to Buzhou Mountain in search of opportunities, but it is not so easy to ascend."
As the pillar holding up the heavens,
Buzhou Mountain undoubtedly concealed countless rare opportunities.
Yet Pangu's immense pressure upon it was enough to bar all those who coveted it from entering.
Tongtian said blandly, "That is not something you need to worry about."
"Don't forget that you are merely a mount."
Ao Li immediately felt both humiliated and enraged by those words, but it was also the truth, leaving her unable to refute him.
Without further nonsense, she tore through the air and flew toward Buzhou Mountain.
Although Ao Li was filled with resentment, Tongtian was rather satisfied with this mount.
At the very least, he did not need to expend his own mana while traveling.
Moreover, her life and death were in his hands. He did not believe she would dare do anything unwise.
At the same time, he could devote more time to cultivation.
Thus, Tongtian sat cross-legged atop Ao Li's enormous body and began cultivating the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill.
For a time, the vast spiritual energy of the heavens poured into Tongtian's body.
Whenever he had spare time, Tongtian refined the Wind and Thunder Twin Swords and the Northern Mysterious Control Water Flag.
As two mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, they were naturally very easy to refine.
It did not take long before Tongtian had gained preliminary control over them.
The Northern Mysterious Control Water Flag, however, was a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. Mastering it would require much more time.
The Dragon Clan was naturally gifted with immense talent, including speed.
Before long, Ao Li brought Tongtian to the shore of the East Sea.
It would not be long before they completely left the East Sea's domain
and returned to the mainland.
However, as Ao Li flew onward, she suddenly sensed a powerful and familiar aura.
Clearly, a powerful expert from the Dragon Clan had arrived.
Naturally, she was overjoyed, but she was currently Tongtian's mount, and he had also placed a restriction upon her.
So she certainly could not fail to inform Tongtian.
She therefore halted and prepared to warn him.
At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the void ahead, accompanied by an incomparably tyrannical pressure.
"You audacious madman! You killed a Dragon Clan expert and abducted a princess of my Dragon Clan."
"And you still think you can escape?"
As the voice fell, the one who had arrived was Torch Dragon, the Dragon Clan's foremost expert beneath First Dragon!
Looking at Ao Li, who had become Tongtian's mount,
a towering fury flashed in Torch Dragon's eyes.
The Dragon Clan's noble princess had actually become the mount of the Dragon Clan's enemy.
This Daoist truly had no regard whatsoever for the Dragon Clan.
He had never seen anyone so brazen and reckless!
If he let Tongtian go, where would the Dragon Clan's dignity remain?
Tongtian could not help frowning as he looked at Torch Dragon, who had come pursuing him.
Of course, he knew the Dragon Clan would not let the matter rest so easily.
He simply had not expected Torch Dragon to come personally!
He had the confidence to look down upon all other members of the Dragon Clan, save only for the brothers First Dragon and Torch Dragon.
Whether in combat strength or talent, those two were among the strongest experts in the world.
"Uncle, why did you come personally?"
Ao Li's expression was shocked. She had not expected Torch Dragon to take action himself.
Her emotions became exceedingly complicated.
After all, she had been taken as an enemy's mount. It was truly a great humiliation for the Dragon Clan.
"If I did not act personally, I fear the Dragon Clan would become a laughingstock among other experts!"
Torch Dragon said furiously, disappointed by her failure.
He had not expected the other members of the Dragon Clan to be so useless.
They could not even handle a mere Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivator.
Even Ao Li, a princess of the Dragon Clan, had fallen into his hands.
Thinking of this, Torch Dragon looked at Tongtian with a dark expression and shouted sternly, "I acknowledge that you do possess courage."
"But provoking the Dragon Clan was something you should never have done."
"Release my niece at once, then surrender and await death. Otherwise, I guarantee that I will tear out your tendons and strip away your bones, so that other cultivators will know the consequences of offending my Dragon Clan!"
Hearing this, Tongtian chuckled. "It seems I have been underestimated."
"Since that is the case, I will not waste any more words. Let us fight!"
"Let me see what you are capable of."
Threaten him?
Unfortunately, threats were the thing he feared least!
Not to mention the Heaven-Opening Merit he possessed, the immense quantity of Three Lights Divine Water alone gave him the confidence to fight anyone!
Thus, he truly wanted to see what methods Torch Dragon possessed.
Torch Dragon's face was filled with disdain upon hearing this.
A mere Grand Luo Golden Immortal dared to challenge him?
This man truly did not know the difference between life and death!
"Do not say that I bullied the weak. I shall give you a chance!"
"As long as you can withstand one move from me,"
"you may leave safely today. But if you cannot, then prepare to taste the agony of having your tendons torn out and your bones stripped away!"
Torch Dragon declared arrogantly.
He possessed absolute confidence in himself!
Tongtian's expression did not change in the slightest as he said directly, "Enough nonsense!"
"Make your move!"
Torch Dragon was enraged by his attitude. In the next instant, he directly transformed into his true form.
His incomparably massive body stretched across heaven and earth. Dragon might swept mightily through the entire region, completely suppressing everything within the surrounding world beneath his aura!
The skies above darkened with dense storm clouds, as though wind and rain were about to descend.
"Die!"
Accompanied by a heavy dragon roar, Torch Dragon launched a fierce attack.
His dragon claw flashed like heavenly lightning. In an instant, it tore through the void before him and lunged toward Tongtian.
Faced with the overwhelming pressure released by Torch Dragon, Tongtian did not dare be the slightest bit careless.
With such imposing might, even if Torch Dragon had not broken through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm,
he was likely at the peak of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm!
But Tongtian was not without a chance. After all, he possessed an Innate Merit Treasure with exceedingly powerful defensive capabilities!
"Open!"
Tongtian let out a thunderous shout, and black-and-yellow light instantly spread through the void.
The Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda was activated at once, hovering directly above Tongtian's head.
But it was not over yet. Waves of immense power surged forth from within it.
