After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

The thought that after Penglai Island disappeared, no one who disappeared with it would ever reappear made the awakened ones feel somewhat dazed, fearful, and doubtful of reality.

Many people arrived at the beach, and Wenquxing, with good intentions, said something.

"Don't come any closer, this place is dangerous."

The rest of the group stopped in the darkness ahead of the shore.

A burly man with a thick beard looked at Wenquxing and clasped his hands in greeting.

"Grandpa, this, you..."

Wenquxing shook his head.

“I’m just an ordinary Awakened One, but I just saw a few Awakened Ones go into this darkness and never come back. If you’re not afraid of death, you can give it a try.”

The star of literature departed before the darkness.

He didn't know what this darkness was, nor did he know the current situation on Penglai Island, but Wenquxing had a goal: to find Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan is Bai Ze, an auspicious beast that knows all the changes in the heavens and all phenomena of gods and ghosts. Regardless of whether Zhou Yan can see the reason for the changes on Penglai Island, having Zhou Yan by your side can always improve your luck.

"Wait, old man."

The bearded man called out to Wenquxing, who then looked at the bearded man.

The bearded man chuckled dryly.

“Old man, Penglai Island has now entered an abnormal state of disappearance. I think we can’t hold it together by ourselves. Why don’t we stick together and help each other if something happens?”

Three more men in military uniforms appeared beside the bearded man, and the three men nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, old man, let's stick together now."

"Old man, my name is Fang Ai, from Hongjiao Prefecture. Where are you from?"

"Old man..."

After examining these three men, Wenquxing (a mythical creature) then looked at the others.

The others looked at each other and went off in groups. However, not everyone immediately formed a group together. Instead, they formed small groups of two or three, and then, as a group, they approached other groups to discuss cooperation.

Wenquxing withdrew his gaze.

"Everyone!"

The Wenquxing (a type of electronic dictionary) is very loud.

"I want to ask you all something."

The other awakened beings who were discussing forming a group turned to look at Wenquxing.

Just as Wenquxing was about to ask if anyone had seen Zhou Yan, more than a dozen Awakened Ones emerged from the path where the previous group had come. These Awakened Ones shouted and yelled as they looked at the dense darkness outside Penglai Island, many of them showing despair.

Every time Penglai Island opens, more than a hundred Awakened Ones come to explore for treasure. Right now, there are only a few Awakened Ones on the beach, and more will come to check the situation later.

Wenquxing then raised his voice even higher.

"Everyone, has anyone seen a child with a fox and an eagle? That child!"

Wenquxing clapped his hands, and Zhou Yan, who was formed from literary energy, appeared beside him.

Not many people pay attention to the Wenquxing (a type of Chinese dictionary).

Wenquxing took out a cold-dispelling pill from his bosom.

"This is a cold-dispelling pill from Dayang Pharmacy, 300,000 yuan a pill. Whoever recognizes it, the pill belongs to them."

Suddenly, everyone's attention was drawn to it.

"I, I know him."

Suddenly, an awakened girl raised her hand.

Wenquxing looked at the girl, who hesitated.

"I... I met a familiar Awakened team before. When we were exchanging information, they told me that they encountered a young man with a fox, an eagle, and a deer. He was very powerful and could summon lightning attacks. Don't underestimate him if you encounter him."

The girl's teammate added a comment.

"The team also said that the child asked about information about Dawu Mountain and seemed to be going there."

Wenquxing asked curiously.

"Mount Dawu? What place is that?"

The girl looked around at her teammates, who were all nodding in agreement.

The girl shrugged.

"A ruin that has been explored many times, but there's nothing of value there. If you want it, old man..."

The girl looked at the cold-dispelling pill in Wenquxing's hand.

Wenquxing took out the second one with a bitter face.

"Two, and we've also bought intelligence on Mount Daiwu."

The girl gave her teammate a look, and the teammate immediately took out a hand-drawn map from some time ago and drew a circle on it.

The terrain of Penglai changes every time it disappears and reappears, so drawing maps is a basic skill for awakened individuals who come to Penglai to explore for treasure.

The teammate waved the map at the Wenquxing (a type of electronic dictionary).

"Cash on delivery."

Wenquxing walked up to his teammates, used two Cold-Dispelling Pills to switch maps.

Wenquxing unfolded the map, looked at it, found the coastline where he was now, and saw the circled mountain on the opposite side.

Wenquxing asked about some landmark locations on Dawu Mountain before leaving the coast. The three awakened individuals who had previously wanted to team up with Wenquxing looked at each other, then at the more than twenty awakened individuals around them who had already begun discussing teaming up. In the end, the two awakened individuals stayed behind.

Only the bearded man gritted his teeth and followed Wenquxing to Mount Dawu.

The scholar in front ran for a while, then looked back in confusion at the bearded man who had followed him.

The God of Literature was puzzled.

"Aren't you with your family?"

The bearded man smiled wryly.

"Before the characteristics of Penglai Island were known, many Awakened Ones disappeared along with Penglai Island. If those Awakened Ones weren't stupid, they should have banded together, but none of them survived. So I think banding together with others is useless. On the contrary, it's you, old man, who dared to abandon the group and act alone."

The bearded man's eyes held hope.

"It must be something that ordinary people can't do, right?"

In absolute despair, any act that defies common sense seems like the slightest possibility. This bearded man was a gambler, so he abandoned the main group and followed Wenquxing directly.

Wenquxing slowed down for a few seconds and said sarcastically.

“This wilderness isn’t a fighting arena. The more awakened people there are, the better the chance of survival. You’re with me now, so don’t worry about anything happening.”

Awakened individuals have different abilities, so the more there are, the higher the margin for error and the greater the possibility of resolving trouble when problems arise. As for those high-level, highly awakened awakened individuals with strong combat power, they are only meaningful on the arena.

Just like in the wild, compared to a sniper rifle that can kill any wild animal, it's definitely more likely to survive than Bear Grylls, Ed Stafford, Bear Grylls' photographer, and a whole host of other survival experts with their survival equipment.

The bearded man gritted his teeth and said.

"I'm betting that you're not a normal person, old man!"

Wenquxing nodded with a smile.

He's definitely not a normal person. This bearded man made the right bet. When he finds Zhou Yan, he can live on with this bearded man.

Wenquxing and the bearded man entered a dark forest. Halfway through, they saw faint, scorching light filtering down from between the treetops.

After Penglai Island disappeared, the sky was completely dark, the stars and the moon were gone, and there were no natural light sources in the wild, so where did this light source come from?

Wenquxing stopped and said in a low voice.

"Young man?"

"My name is Xu Hanyao."

"Alright, Brother Xu, please wait a moment."

Wenquxing, stepping on the literary energy generated in the void, soared through the air from the ground to the canopy of the forest. An endless dark sky appeared before Wenquxing, and beneath the darkness were twelve immortal mountains floating in mid-air.

The fairy mountain was just a normal mountain peak, but each peak had been carved into a terraced plaza starting from the mountainside. Each plaza had a grand palace with overhanging eaves and red doors. Between the palaces, there were countless auspicious lights and stone carvings, depicting immortals flying back and forth in the air, as well as cranes and beasts.

In the deep darkness, these twelve sacred mountains, like lighthouses, radiate a peaceful and gentle light, truly like a fairyland.

This sacred mountain...

Wenquxing squinted.

He had been to the Kunlun Immortal Palace, where deep within it lay a floating immortal mountain, bound by a rainbow bridge and celestial ropes.

The design of those other immortal mountains seems to be consistent with these twelve floating immortal mountains.

However, when Wenquxing took Wuquxing to this beautiful place, Wuquxing perished, and Wenquxing barely escaped with his life.

The prettier it is, the more dangerous it is, whether it's a mushroom, a woman, or anything else.

Wenquxing descended until it hit the ground.

Xu Hanyao, who was waiting below for Wenquxing, hurriedly asked.

"Old man, this, this celestial mountain in the sky..."

Xu Hanyao shook his head.

"That place is off-limits."

Xu Hanyao nodded.

"Definitely, anyone who goes there is a fool."

The fact that the Awakened Ones who disappeared along with Penglai Island never returned is an experience gained by hundreds of Awakened Ones through sheer luck. Those immortal mountains are so obvious and so beautiful; the first Awakened Ones to arrive must have explored them, and then…

"Let's continue to Mount Dawu."

Wenquxing quickened his pace.

Xu Hanyao followed Wenquxing's steps, and the two quickly crossed the forest and went to several more mountains. When they were crossing a mountain, a group of awakened beings walked towards Wenquxing. These awakened beings pointed at the immortal mountain not far away, and one of the younger ones even shouted to Wenquxing.

"Grandpa, we're planning to go check out those floating mountains, would you like to come along?"

Wenquxing countered with a question.

"If you're really not afraid of dying, then go!"

Wenquxing led Xu Hanyao past this team.

After running for more than half an hour, Wenquxing arrived at the thirty-seventh peak, which was shown on the map and was only one mountain away from Dawu Mountain.

These mountains were all acquired by the Awakened Ones who drew the maps, because the appearance and disappearance of the Penglai terrain would change. Therefore, except for the mountain that was originally called Dawu Mountain, all other mountains were marked with numbers when drawing the terrain maps.

"Dawu Mountain."

Standing on the thirty-seventh mountain peak, Wenquxing murmured to himself. As he murmured, he turned his head to look at the suspended immortal mountains that floated in mid-air, emitting auspicious light and immortal energy.

Whether it was a misperception or not, Wenquxing felt that these suspended immortal mountains surrounded Dawu Mountain, and seemed to move around Dawu Mountain as the center.

"Wenquxing asked in a low voice."

"Sir, what's next..."

Wenquxing said calmly,

"You stay here. I'll go check out Dawu Mountain. If there's no danger, I'll come back and bring you back."

Wenquxing took out a copy of "Records of the Grand Historian" from his bosom.

"Take this book with you. If you encounter danger, throw it away. It should save your life."

Xu Hanyao took the book, and Wenquxing took a deep breath and stepped towards Dawu Mountain with literary energy.

This is not a normal walk. When Wenquxing steps on the Wenqi, the movement is slow and the stride between the two feet is not large. But when one foot steps down and the other foot steps up, the person has already traveled a kilometer away.

With the second step, Wenquxing reached the foot of Dawu Mountain.

Upon arriving at this place, Wenquxing looked Dawu Mountain up and down. Zhou Yan, on the other hand, could ignore all illusions and perception controls thanks to Bai Ze's passive ability. Therefore, in Zhou Yan's eyes, Dawu Mountain was like the female protagonist in a fanfiction.

Wenquxing doesn't have this ability, so the area above the mountainside of Dawu Mountain is shrouded in a thin mist, making it unclear.

However, Wenquxing was no ordinary awakener. This true god reached into his robes and pulled out a copy of "Encouraging Learning".
