"Follow these people; they're probably on their way to that island. Maybe they can find the clues we need."

Zhu Chen composed himself, then suppressed his shock and whispered to Yun Yun and the other two.

Yunyun and the other two nodded without asking any further questions.

They followed closely behind Zhu Chen, flying swiftly towards the distant island in the direction of the crowd.

Along the way, most of the cultivators around him had solemn expressions, and occasionally a few people would talk in hushed tones, their words mostly about "the Immortal King's teachings" and "comprehension of the Great Dao".

Zhu Chen followed behind, listening carefully, becoming increasingly certain of his guess.

"—Splash!"

Just as they were getting close to the island, the sea suddenly began to churn violently.

"--roar!"

A deafening roar echoed from the depths of the sea.

Suddenly, a huge serpentine dragon rose into the air from the sea.

The serpentine dragon's body blotted out the sky, reaching a height of tens of thousands of feet. Its scales shimmered with a cold, icy light, and its whiskers fluttered, accompanied by a terrifying pressure.

"That's a mount of a true immortal!"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise, "I never expected that a true immortal would personally guard this place. It truly lives up to its reputation as the residence of an immortal king..."

A true immortal mount?

The residence of the Celestial King?

Zhu Chen was startled.

He is now almost certain that this is the Immortal Ancient Era that Shi Hao visited back then!
Only in the Immortal Ancient Era could such powerful True Immortal mounts exist.

After the serpent dragon appeared, it merely glanced at the crowd without launching an attack, clearly recognizing the cultivators who had come to listen to the lecture.

Zhu Chen, along with Yun Yun and the other two, successfully landed on the island with the crowd.

However, as soon as they landed, they were stunned by the sight before them.

The island was even more beautiful than they had imagined.

The island is shrouded in ethereal mist, with clouds and fog enveloping the entire island like a light veil. The ground is covered with exotic flowers and plants, exuding a rich spiritual energy and fragrance!

In the distance, pavilions and towers are built against the mountain, with carved beams and painted rafters, exuding an ethereal aura, and even faint golden runes float in the air.

Zhu Chen could feel the aura of the Great Dao just by taking a casual breath!

This place is simply a natural holy land for cultivation.

Queen Medusa couldn't help but take a deep breath, her eyes filled with surprise: "Such a rich energy aura, if only I could cultivate here forever..."

Little Fairy Doctor nodded in agreement: "The aura here carries a sense of vitality. If I can cultivate here for a long time, even without refining the poison pill, I can control my Calamity Poison Body."

Although Yun Yun didn't speak, it was easy to tell from the light in her eyes that she also liked this place very much.

"Let's go take a look first..."

Zhu Chen had no interest in appreciating the island's beauty. After observing the surrounding environment, he wanted to further confirm the situation.

However, at that moment...

Suddenly, two figures walked towards them from the crowd.

Those two figures were none other than...

It was the same phoenix maiden in the seven-colored phoenix dress and the girl in green holding the qilin in her arms.

The Phoenix Maiden stopped in front of Zhu Chen and his companions, then began to scrutinize them with curiosity: "Who are you? Your auras are strange. You are neither cultivators from the major powers of the Immortal Ancient Era, nor do you bear the Dao imprint of our era. Where did you come from? What kind of cultivation method do you practice?"

The Phoenix Maiden's voice was clear and crisp, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.

The Qilin girl beside her blinked, wanting to ask Zhu Chen and the others a few questions, just like the Phoenix Girl. But before she could even speak, the Qilin in her arms suddenly trembled and began to murmur at Zhu Chen, its eyes filled with terror, as if Zhu Chen were some extremely terrifying being.

The girl with the Qilin was stunned for a moment.

She gently stroked the Qilin in her arms and asked in confusion, "Little White, what's wrong? Are you afraid of him?"

Zhu Chen looked at the terrified Qilin and couldn't help but smile.

Then, he cupped his hands to the Phoenix Maiden and the Qilin Girl and said frankly, "You two don't need to doubt us. We are not from this era, but from the future. We were accidentally brought here by spatial turbulence and have no ill intentions."

"What? You're from the future?"

The Phoenix Maiden and the Qilin Girl looked at each other in bewilderment.

Both of them were stunned by Zhu Chen's words!
Phoenix Girl frowned and looked at Zhu Chen, asking, "Are you kidding me? How could someone from the future appear here? Reversing time is a heaven-defying act. Even the Immortal King Wuzhong and the Immortal King Liudao Reincarnation wouldn't dare to try it lightly, let alone travel to other timelines at will."

The Qilin girl nodded in agreement, her face full of disbelief: "That's right, you haven't even reached the True Immortal realm, how could you possibly possess the ability to reverse time and space? That's simply impossible!"

Zhu Chen was about to explain that he had not reversed time and space, but had been led astray by the spatial turbulence of the interdimensional passage.

But just then...

A melodious and deep bell suddenly rang out from the sky above the island, instantly resounding throughout the entire island, its echo lingering for a long time.

Upon hearing the bell, all the cultivators on the island involuntarily stopped talking, raised their heads, and gazed at the sky. Their expressions became extremely solemn, and they even slowed their breathing.

next second.

Suddenly, a huge ancient bell tore through the void and slowly emerged, hovering above everyone's heads.

The ancient bell was covered with dense golden runes, which shimmered with a dazzling light.

As the ancient bell appeared, time seemed to stand still, and everything suddenly became quiet.

The immense pressure emanating from the ancient bell caused all the cultivators present to lower their heads.

Only the Phoenix Maiden and a few top geniuses could barely raise their heads and look at the ancient bell with awe.

"That is the natal treasure of the Immortal King Wuzhong, the Bell of Wuzhong!"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed excitedly.

Then, everyone went wild!

"The Immortal King Wuzhong! The Immortal King Wuzhong has arrived!"

"This is wonderful! I actually got to see the Immortal King Wuzhong. I have no regrets in this life!"

"Did you know? The Immortal King Wuzhong was a top expert in our Immortal Ancient Era. His Wuzhong Dao Technique was incredibly powerful, suppressing countless dark creatures and protecting the peace of our Immortal Ancient Era!"

"More than that! The strength of the Immortal King Wuzhong is unfathomable. He is only one step away from the peak of the Immortal King realm. It is rumored that he has already touched the threshold of that realm. He is the idol of all cultivators in our Immortal Ancient Era!"

The crowd discussed among themselves, their voices filled with awe and reverence for the Immortal King Wuzhong.

Zhu Chen looked up at the endless bell, his eyes also filled with shock.

He could sense that the power contained within the bell far exceeded his imagination.

The mere pressure emanating from him made his whole body tense up, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Just then, the bell of endlessness trembled slightly, and a blurry figure slowly emerged from within the bell. The figure was shrouded in golden light, obscuring its features, yet it exuded an aura of dominance over all living beings. The mere presence of the figure caused the entire world to tremble.

"Greetings, Immortal King Wuzhong!"

All the cultivators knelt down and bowed, shouting in unison, their voices resounding through the sky.

Even Medusa and Yun Yun couldn't help but kneel down.

Zhu Chen was the only one still standing in the entire arena, his body ramrod straight as he gazed at the Wuzhong Immortal King who had emerged from Wuzhong, a stark contrast to the group of cultivators kneeling on the ground around him.
