Chapter 291 Racial Threats, Illegal Border Crossing

On the East Sea, Yu Que and Ling Yunzi traveled hand in hand.

In less than half a month, the two had already reached within a thousand miles of Zhenjun Island.

In Yu Que's eyes, the fine coastline had already come into view.

And that Zhenjun Island, like a ferocious beast, lay dormant on the sea, sleeping alone.

Surrounding it, billowing spiritual light soared into the sky, forming a canopy-like scene that sheltered the vast Zhenjun Island beneath it.

Among these spiritual lights, twelve were the thickest, like pillars supporting the sky, firmly attracting Yu Que's attention.

Ling Yunzi stood beside Yu Que, smiling as he looked at him.

The other party spoke up: "Well, I haven't lied to Brother Xu, have I? My Ten Directions Immortal Sect has indeed produced twelve immortals, including True Immortals."

Yu Que nodded solemnly.

Such spiritual energy and aura are something that, apart from immortals, no other being in this world could possess.

Furthermore, compared to the true immortals before him, even the primordial spirit weapon that Yu Que had nurtured with the remnant soul of a celestial being was somewhat inferior.

Ling Yunzi waited quietly for Yu Que to process the scene before him, then chuckled softly:

"Let's go, Brother Xu, please come with me to the island and pay our respects to the immortals of my sect."

The other party tempted him, saying, "With Brother Xu's background, he will surely be valued by the immortals, and may even gain the favor of those two true immortals. In that case, Brother Xu's commotion on the sea is nothing more than some playful antics."

What Lingyunzi said was indeed very tempting.

If one can gain even a little favor from an immortal in the world, the benefits left behind by that immortal will definitely not be less than what Yu Que would get from robbing an immortal sect.

Moreover, with the approval of several immortals, Yu Que's identity at sea can be cleared on the spot, and he can become a promising successor of the ancient cultivation lineage!

With the aid of his primordial spirit Dao weapon, who knows, he might even be able to establish his own immortal sect in the future!
However, to Ling Yunzi's surprise, Yu Que immediately refused the suggestion to go to the island:
"No, Xu is arrogant and domineering. We must not go forward and offend these immortals."

"I would still like to trouble Fellow Daoist Lingyun to go to the island alone and negotiate with those immortals on my behalf. All I need is for the immortals to issue a decree that they will no longer pursue the previous matter and will allow me to cross the border and enter the Central Plains."

Yu Que bowed to the astonished Ling Yunzi and said, "I, Xu, will certainly fulfill the immortals' instructions well within the Central Plains and make amends for my mistakes!"

Ling Yunzi suspected that Yu Que might be shy, or perhaps still fearful of the four sects including the Joyful Immortal Sect, so he once again tried to persuade Yu Que to go to the island together.

"Alas! The immortals are not such narrow-minded people."

The man earnestly advised, "To be honest, I don't really want to go to the Central Plains either. But since I'm already here, and if I don't take this opportunity to cry to a few immortals, where will I get any extra benefits?"

Are we really going to work for the Immortal Alliance for free?

Despite Ling Yunzi's repeated persuasion, Yu Que remained steadfast in his resolve and refused to take another step forward.

He simply gazed at the vast True Lord Island from afar, and bowed respectfully:

"Junior Xu Youzhi pays respects to the immortal masters!"

He then urged Lingyunzi to go ashore: "Please ask Fellow Daoist Lingyun to convey to the immortals that I have already paid my respects to you all outside the island."

"Sigh!" Seeing that Yu Que was truly unyielding, Ling Yunzi realized that Yu Que was probably worried that it was easy to get on the island but difficult to get off.

So he tried to bring up the oath he had made to Yu Que in the name of the Lingbao Immortal Sect to persuade Yu Que.

However, Ling Yunzi wisely kept quiet before he could finish speaking.

With a helpless expression, the man bowed to Yu Que and then quickly flew towards True Monarch Island.

After Ling Yunzi left, Yu Que did not linger on the sea. He immediately summoned the Rakshasa leader ship and asked it to shelter him inside.

Without a word, he immediately began to travel along the outer edge of True Monarch Island, making his way to the Central Plains.

His arrival at True Monarch Island was already an expression of his submission. However, if the Ten Great Immortal Sects wanted him to be as obedient as their disciples, doing whatever they were told to do, they were simply indulging in wishful thinking.

Although they are immortals, they are also a group of immortals bound by the fate of the immortal path. They have more than enough magical power, but the opportunity to use their magic is another matter.

Yu Que's refusal to go to the island might offend the other party, but with his Yuan Shen Dao Weapon in hand, the other party wouldn't disregard the overall situation and come to bully him.

If Yu Que were to land on the island, not only would his primordial spirit weapons fall into the hands of those immortals, but his life and everything else would also be at their mercy.

Even if, in the end, as Ling Yunzi said, he will be safe and sound... then what's the point?

Passing by True Lord Island without entering was the safest option in Yu Que's eyes.

at the same time.

On Zhenjun Island.

After Ling Yunzi landed on the island, he went through numerous reports and it took half a day before he was finally informed, through layers of notification, that he was allowed to enter the immortal abode and pay his respects to the immortals.

After arriving at the camp, he waited there for almost half a day before finally being able to enter the depths of the camp and meet the immortal during a break.

Ling Yunzi bowed deeply as he entered, head bowed, and immediately prostrated himself, shouting:

"Junior Lingyun pays respects to True Immortal Lingbao and True Immortal Danding!"

Since their ascension, many of the immortals from the overseas immortal sects have changed their Daoist titles or taken on new "immortal titles".

Two of the true immortals directly named themselves after their own sects and lineages, calling themselves Lingbao and Danding.

Upon hearing Ling Yunzi's kowtow, one of the two True Immortals, Lingbao and Danding, said without turning his head, "No need for formalities, please rise."

Immediately afterwards, another figure dressed in black robes chuckled and said:
"Haha, fellow Daoist, you've miscalculated. That little fellow didn't even come up to pay his respects to us; he's truly arrogant."

The white-robed True Immortal Lingbao shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm arrogant, it's just that I'm cautious."

After saying this, Lingbao Zhenxian sighed:

"It's a pity that I won't have the chance to see the primordial spirit weapon in that kid's hand, or to see if it has any connection with that old immortal from the immortal mountain in the past."

Ling Yunzi was kneeling in the tent when he heard the conversation between the two True Immortals, and his heart skipped a beat.

He immediately realized that Yu Que's worries had indeed come true. The immortals clearly had ulterior motives in inviting Yu Que to pay homage!
Just as the two True Immortals in the tent were talking, the divine sense of another immortal in the area suddenly flickered, and a sinister voice rang out: "Since that brat doesn't want to come to the island on his own, why don't we go and invite him here ourselves? What do you two think?"

These words reached Ling Yunzi's ears, causing him to tremble once again.

The aura emanating from this person far surpassed that of a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage, clearly indicating that they were a Nascent Soul cultivator who had achieved immortality. Moreover, the chill in their voice clearly suggested that they belonged to one of the Four Immortal Sects that Yu Que had robbed.

Upon hearing the voices inside the tent, Lingbao Zhenxian suddenly chuckled.

He put down the chess piece in his hand, raised his head slightly, and smiled, "If you fellow Daoists think it's feasible, you can go and catch that brat yourselves."

However, the formations on my island and the movements of the Immortal Alliance cannot wait for anyone.

The voice that had been echoing inside the tent fell silent immediately. After several breaths, it let out a cold laugh before abruptly withdrawing its consciousness.

"Fine, let that fellow atone for his sins and make amends."

Along with the departing opponent, three other divine consciousnesses lingered within the tent.

Once these primordial spirit immortals had all withdrawn their attention, Ling Yunzi, kneeling in the tent, felt a sense of relief, and the oppressive aura emanating from him diminished considerably.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lingbao Zhenxian glanced at this descendant of his own lineage and frowned, saying:

"You child, you've already mastered a celestial artifact, why are you still afraid of a fourth-grade divine sense?"

"Go, continue your seclusion on the island, refine your cultivation, and then leave the sea. Otherwise, you might disgrace my Lingbao Immortal Sect within the Central Plains, and even lose our immortal artifacts."

Faced with the True Immortal's orders, Ling Yunzi naturally dared not utter a single word of dissent. He immediately bowed his head in agreement and retreated outside the tent.

Only after Ling Yunzi had completely left the tent did the black-robed True Immortal of the Alchemy Cauldron ask curiously:

"It's just a human being. Could it be that you, fellow Daoist, have taken pity on it, or perhaps it's your bloodline that makes you unwilling to part with this child?"

Lingbao Zhenxian dusted off his white Daoist robe and sighed softly:

"They are not his bloodline successors, but they are still our juniors. How can we completely ignore them just because they have the remnant soul of that immortal mountain in their minds?"

"This child has a knack for it; who knows, he might actually become an immortal on his own and destroy the remnant soul within him."

Upon hearing this, the black-robed Taoist priest burst into laughter:

"Haha, I really don't know if you're blessing your junior or cursing him. If he doesn't become an immortal, it's fine, his remnant soul won't bother him. But if he does become an immortal, then the immortal he becomes will most likely be someone else."

Upon hearing this, Lingbao Zhenxian frowned slightly and fell silent.

..............................

After Yu Que fled Zhenjun Island, his speed was neither fast nor slow.

After a day without finding any pursuers behind him, a weight was lifted from his heart.

"Very good. It seems that even if those immortals think I was rude, they won't go so far as to chase after me to hold me accountable or capture me and take me to the island." He breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Yu Que had already prepared to face the pressure of the immortals before heading to Zhenjun Island, it was still best not to confront them directly.

After composing himself, he stopped focusing his attention on what was behind him and instead looked towards the coastline that was now almost within reach.

However, unlike when he first set sail, there were now wisps of spiritual light flickering along the coastline, and at a considerable height.

It resembled a veil, leading directly to the gale-force winds at the zenith.

This situation immediately attracted Yu Que's attention.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the dragon energy from the Central Plains was hanging down around the coastline, colliding and squeezing with the overseas immortal energy that Lingyunzi had mentioned, thus forming this spectacular sight.

Yu Que recalled what Ling Yunzi had told him along the way, and thought to himself:
"According to the Lingbao Immortal Sect, once a cultivator falls into the dragon's aura, their magical power will be reduced by 30% out of thin air. Similarly, if an immortal falls into the immortal's fortune, three out of the nine ghosts and gods may be unable to move."

"It's unclear whether this clash of energies will suppress either of them, or have little effect on either..."

Curious, he looked around but couldn't find anyone nearby, so he floated towards the shore.

Before even reaching the shore, Yu Que's brows furrowed and his expression turned grave.

As waves of oppressive force descended from the sky, they landed directly on his body and soul, causing him to feel immense pressure. Even his normally invincible true energy was now stagnant.

Under such circumstances, let alone facing immortals or cultivators of the same level, Yu Que might not even be able to gain the upper hand against a cultivator who has just entered the Qi Condensation stage.

He thought to himself, "No wonder even immortals dare not recklessly infiltrate the Central Plains. This suppressive power is truly too strong!"

Especially as he went further and got closer to the coast, the oppressive force on Yu Que became more and more intense. In the end, he felt as if he was carrying a mountain on his back, and he could not even fly properly. He could only walk on the sea, rising and falling with the waves.

According to Ling Yunzi's prior instructions, this kind of barrier of fortune is estimated to extend for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of miles, possibly encircling the entire Central Plains.

If we want to get through this safely, we must push the barrier of fortune step by step towards the Central Plains, that is, let the overseas immortal sects gradually occupy those Dao palaces along the coast.

However, Yu Que was persuaded to sneak into the Central Land Realm, so he didn't need to research other methods himself; Ling Yunzi had already personally provided the corresponding solution.

With a hum, Yu Que took out a peach charm from his sleeve.

This talisman is made of thousand-year-old peach wood and engraved with lightning. It contains a trace of the power of lightning bursts within it. It is obviously not an ordinary talisman. It will be swift and convenient to use in combat.

But Yu Que, holding the peach charm, wasn't there to engage in a magical duel; he was chanting incantations:

"Paying homage to the Five Directions, fire rises on the water, flowers bloom on the island, gold is hidden in the soil... the Five Elements Concealment Technique, so be it!"

The peach charm suddenly shone brightly, its radiance enveloping Yu Que and forming a protective bubble that trapped him inside.

The moment the peach charm manifested its power, the oppressive feeling emanating from Yu Que vanished instantly.

Immediately, his figure left a long trail of spiritual light, crashing straight into the coastal array and successfully stepping directly into the Central Continent.

However, the moment he crossed the border, the peach charm in his hand shattered and became useless.

Yu Que landed on the inland land, feeling more relaxed than ever before, and a surge of fighting spirit rose in his heart.

However, Yu Que did not dwell on these feelings. He waved his hand, and his primordial spirit soldier jumped out to protect him as he returned home!
