Primordial Era: Reborn Kong Xuan, Steady Cultivation

"Fellow Daoist, according to what these two dragons said, could this be a sign of the legendary three immortal islands of Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou emerging into the world?"

Kong Xuan's thoughts shifted slightly. It was not convenient to discuss the cause and effect between the Three Immortals and Zhao Gongming at this moment.

He looked thoughtful and said slowly, "In my opinion, it is probably not those three overseas fairy islands."

If it were truly a primordial immortal island like Penglai, Fangzhang, or Yingzhou, let alone these two dragons, even the East Sea Dragon Palace and all the powerful figures from various regions would likely be in turmoil. How could it be like now, with only two Taiyi Realm dragons secretly plotting, yet the sea remains calm and undisturbed?

Upon hearing this, the light that had just ignited in Ma Sui's eyes dimmed slightly. After pondering for a moment, he also felt that Kong Xuan's words made sense.

If it were truly a celestial island bearing the great fortune of the primordial world, the Heavenly Dao would surely have responded, and the situation would not be so "calm and peaceful".

He then asked, "Since it's not the legendary Three Immortal Islands, what do you think we should do with these two dragons?"

His gaze swept towards the Crystal Palace, his intentions self-evident.

They originally came to search for traces of overseas immortal islands. Since these two dragons have been discovered, their cultivation levels are comparable, and they are clearly not benevolent, it is feasible to capture and question them.

Kong Xuan actually had reservations about directly intervening to capture the two dragons.

In the depths of his being, he had a vague feeling that these two dragons might be connected to the Cloud Fairy's future renowned magic weapon, the "Golden Dragon Scissors."

Forced intervention may disrupt the established cause and effect, and lead to unforeseen consequences.

However, since Ma Sui had this intention, he also needed to weigh the pros and cons.

After a moment's thought, Kong Xuan said, "Fellow Daoist, don't be hasty. Since these two dragons intend to devour living beings and plunder their resources, why don't we secretly follow them and see what happens?"

Firstly, it would verify the authenticity of their claim of a "fairy island." Secondly, having them guide us would be safer than us blindly searching or forcibly questioning them.

"Wouldn't it be better to wait until they fight the creatures on the island, and then reveal their true strength and weaknesses, and then make further plans?"

After listening, Ma Sui nodded slowly.

Although he was not afraid of the two dragons, both of which were at the early stage of Taiyi, Kong Xuan's plan was clearly more prudent and comprehensive.

If one can sit back and watch the two dragons fight the cultivators on the island to the death, and then reappear, one can easily clean up the mess, obtain information and spoils of war. If the creatures on the island can be saved, one can also forge a good relationship. It can be said to be a win-win situation.

After all, Kong Xuan was at the mid-stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, and his cultivation was much higher than his own, so naturally he would follow Kong Xuan's lead.

"Fellow Daoist, your considerations are thorough; let us proceed with this plan."

Without further hesitation, the two concealed their auras and followed closely behind Jiao Da, Jiao Er, and their followers.

Several days later, on the vast sea, three adjacent islands suddenly appeared and disappeared in the shimmering waves, like reflections in the water or mirages formed by sea vapor, seemingly real yet illusory, with a lingering spiritual aura.

Suddenly, the calm sea surface churned violently, and hundreds of demon soldiers, wielding spears and still covered in crab shells and shrimp armor, emerged from the waves and formed a battle formation.

Above the demon soldiers, two dragons, one black and one green, revealed their true forms, baring their fangs and claws, their scales reflecting the light of the sky and water, exuding a fierce and oppressive aura.

Rolling, ominous clouds spread out, obscuring the light of day.

A deafening dragon roar echoed across the sea and sky: "Listen up, creatures of the islands! I am the General of the East Sea Dragon Palace, ordered by the Dragon King to take charge of the islands in this sea area!"

"Leave now, and we may forgive your past transgressions. But if you dare to hesitate or disobey, I will ensure that you are utterly annihilated, leaving no trace of your remains!"

This dragon was not entirely reckless; it knew to first raise the banner of the East Sea Dragon Palace to intimidate the island's inhabitants and force them to leave the island's protected area.

Once outside the area shrouded by that innate restriction, they are like fish on a chopping board, completely at the mercy of others.

As soon as the words were spoken, a clear, ethereal light suddenly shone from the island in the center, breaking through the misty haze.

Amidst the celestial light, the figure of a female immortal appeared.

Her hair was styled in two coiled buns, and she wore a fairy robe with crimson cloud patterns, resembling a crane's crest with a red tassel. A silk sash was tied around her waist, and she wore hemp shoes. Auspicious colors accompanied her.

She was none other than the head of the Three Immortals, the Fairy of the Clouds.

Facing the raging dragons and demon soldiers, Yunxiao stood in the air, her expression calm and her eyes clear. She spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Greetings, fellow Daoists. My sister and I have been cultivating on this Three Immortal Islands since the day we were born, and we have never left."

The Dragon Palace governs the waters of the four seas and regulates storms; this is its duty.

However, this overseas fairy island, floating on the blue waves and receiving the pure energy of heaven, is a naturally formed Taoist site. When did it come under the jurisdiction of the Crystal Palace?

Please enlighten me, fellow Daoists.

Her voice was clear and calm, yet every word was distinct, echoing between the sea and the sky. It not only highlighted her connection with the island but also pointed out the contradictions in the other person's words.

The power of the Dragon Palace lies in the sea, not in the overseas immortal mountains. This composure and reasoning immediately made the intimidating rebuke seem hollow.

When Jiao Da and Jiao Er saw that Yun Xiao was not only unafraid, but also asked questions that made perfect sense, they became furious.

Jiao Da shouted sternly in the air: "What an ungrateful wretch! He won't listen to reason, so he'll have to drink the penalty cup!"

"Minions, form the 'Overturning Rivers and Seas Formation'! Let these wandering ghosts who defy the Dragon Palace's majesty witness the might of the East Sea!"

The order was given like a landslide, and hundreds of shrimp soldiers and crab generals on the sea responded in unison. In an instant, the war drums thundered, their sound shaking the heavens.

The second dragon had already quietly submerged underwater, its massive body churning wildly as it channeled its essence of Gui water.

The once calm sea suddenly became extremely violent, with waves surging and one after another, terrifying giant waves ranging from several meters to tens of meters high piled up, carrying immense power, and viciously crashing towards the three islands, with the momentum of submerging the immortal islands and destroying the restrictions in one fell swoop!

"Big sister, little sister is here to help you!" Two sweet shouts rang out almost simultaneously.

Two dazzling clouds, one red and one blue, flew swiftly from the two islands on the left and right, landing beside Yunxiao and transforming into two equally beautiful and ethereal female immortals, Qiongxiao and Bixiao.

When Yunxiao saw his two younger sisters leave the island rashly, his expression changed immediately. He hurriedly said, "Foolish! This is a battle between Taiyi Golden Immortals. Its power is extraordinary. How can you Golden Immortals interfere?"

Retreat back to the island immediately and rely on the protective barriers!

However, the warning came a little too late.

When the dragon in the sky saw the two incredibly pure primordial clouds of red and blue appear, its eyes blazed with greed, and it exclaimed with wild joy, "Sure enough! There are two more! Hahahaha, both are top-quality tonics!"

Today, it is my brother's day to achieve great things!

It couldn't wait any longer and only wanted to capture the Three Immortals and devour the origin of the cloud energy.

At this critical moment, a clear, resonant shout came from the sky, as melodious as gold and jade, overpowering the rumbling waves and war drums: "Sister, don't panic, your brother is coming!"

Before the words were even finished, the atmosphere in the world changed abruptly!

Unseen gusts of wind, seemingly appearing from nowhere, initially appeared as fine threads, but instantly transformed into a violent current that swept across the heavens and earth.

The wind was incredibly intelligent; it avoided the direction of the Three Immortal Islands and instead blew towards the demon soldiers' formation and the towering waves on the sea.

The shrimp soldiers and crab generals, who were advancing in formation with great momentum, were swept in by this sudden and fierce gust of wind. Their formation was thrown into chaos, and they staggered about, screams and cries filling the air.

Even more astonishingly, after the raging wind passed, the giant waves, tens of feet high, that had been stirred up by Jiao Er and rushed towards the immortal island, seemed to be split open by a pair of invisible giant hands and pushed outwards, flowing back towards Jiao Er and the demon soldiers who were casting the spell!

The wind, though formless, now revealed immense power, instantly breaking the "Overturning Rivers and Seas Formation" attack and turning the tables, using the water's momentum to counterattack the enemy formation.

In an instant, chaos erupted on the sea. The demon soldiers scattered, the waves surged backward, and even Jiao Er underwater was thrown into disarray by the chaotic currents and wind pressure.
