Because he couldn’t handle the Old Carp, Long Ao Tian could only widen his eyes in frustration.

“You old disrespectful thing, I’ll never acknowledge your identity!”

“Doesn’t matter, anyway, I have plenty of talented descendants by my side. It’s better not to recognize a rude brat like you who beats his elders!”

“Fine, that’s what you say!”

Both sides exchanged fierce words, and the atmosphere was charged.

At this moment.

Miss Liu sent a message to Ye Junlin, “Island Master Ye, now that you’ve dealt with those four Chaotic Evil Spirits, what are your plans next?”

Even though I was mentally prepared during our previous chat, discovering that all four once fearsome Chaotic Evil Spirits in the Kunlun Realm fell to this young man today was still shocking.

It would be a lie to say I wasn’t stunned.

If it were me, even with a cultivation advantage, it would be hard to achieve this.

Ye Junlin shrugged, “What else can I plan? This world has no opponents left for me. Miss Liu, do you know? Being invincible is truly lonely~”

As he said this, he spread his hands wide, feeling quite helpless.

Miss Liu: “…”

Still putting on an act?

Fine, you do have that right.

After all, Ye Junlin was now the strongest cultivator in the Kunlun Realm.

So no one understood what it meant to be invincible better than him!

“Unfortunately, the passage to the Immortal Realm was destroyed. If it were intact, you might have been able to ascend and face greater challenges,” Miss Liu lamented.

Ye Junlin waved his hand, “Whatever, let it be. If I can go, I will. If I can’t, I’ll just stay here. At this rate, the outside world’s strong foes will soon invade anyway; that’ll be entertaining.”

Miss Liu fell silent.

For some reason, this extremely serious matter sounded so nonchalant coming from this young man, as if he were just playing a game.

Is this the confidence of someone favored by the heavenly way?

I’m envious.

“Little Dragon, follow me,” Ye Junlin said impatiently, pulling Long Ao Tian along as the ruckus in front grew louder.

“My good grandson, be sure to visit your grandpa often, and I’ll reward you with a few slaps!”

The Old Carp said while spitting out water arrows with a “puh, puh, puh,” demonstrating extreme arrogance.

“Get lost, you idiot!” Long Ao Tian snapped back.

Only when the courtyard door closed did the commotion finally settle.

The two left Fallen Immortal Island and returned indoors.

Long Ao Tian was getting angrier the more he thought about it, still brooding over the earlier incident.

Suddenly, he seemed to make an important decision, his eyes fierce as he clasped his fists and said solemnly:

“Island Master Ye, I strongly propose we catch that Old Carp and roast it for everyone to eat!”

At this statement.

Ye Junlin looked utterly shocked.

So ruthless?

That’s your biological grandpa!

“Is that not allowed…?” Long Ao Tian’s expression couldn’t hide his disappointment.

“Cough, cough,”

Ye Junlin pretended to cough a few times, “We’ll discuss this later; let’s go eat barbecue, and you should calm down.”

“Alright.”

Long Ao Tian had no choice but to concede, deciding to plan this matter over time.

Back at the gathering, the barbecue feast had begun, fragrant and mouth-watering.

Everyone was eating heartily, clinking glasses, and drinking, having the time of their lives.

Only Long Ao Tian remained sullen, his face darkening at the thought of what had happened in the courtyard. He squeezed out a frustrated remark through clenched teeth:

“I want to eat fish!”

In the courtyard.

The Old Carp no longer had the earlier bravado but was instead sulking in the water, lost in thought for a long time.

It was reminiscing about its deceased daughter!

“Friend, let bygones be bygones. After all, you still have a biological grandson living in this world, that’s destiny’s arrangement.” The old hen seriously advised.

“Hmph, that punk disrespected his elders. If he dares to come again, I’ll slap him again!” the Old Carp fumed.

At this moment, Miss Liu spoke up: “Everyone, I can sense that the young man just now contains massive potential. His future achievements might surpass mine.”

“What?!”

The beings in the courtyard were stunned.

“Miss Liu, are you joking? Are you overestimating that brat?” the little donkey exclaimed excitedly.

After all, it knew that Miss Liu’s real cultivation level was at the Immortal Emperor peak, strong enough to rank among the top ten in the Immortal Emperor realm in her heyday.

Later, due to special circumstances, she had fiercely killed several Immortal Emperor-level beings out of anger, which caused a huge uproar and much controversy.

Just when various Immortal Emperors were preparing to join forces to punish her, Liu Taishang stepped in to mediate. To repay this favor, Miss Liu was willing to act as a guardian in the courtyard.

Now, hearing her say that Long Ao Tian’s future achievements could surpass hers left the little donkey and others in disbelief.

“I never joke about such matters,” Miss Liu said solemnly.

Upon receiving her response, everyone gasped in shock.

Especially the Old Carp, who nearly rolled its eyes back in fright.

If only it had known…

It would have just swallowed that anger!

Now, having offended a future being stronger than Miss Liu, even the Ancestor of the Golden Dragon Tribe would have to kneel and beg for mercy!

“It’s okay, as long as we stay in this courtyard, no one can touch us except for Island Master Ye!” the little donkey thought, feeling emboldened by the courtyard’s specialness.

“That’s you, not us. I haven’t offended him!” the old hen scoffed.

“Doesn’t matter to me either. After all, I’m his biological grandpa; blood is thicker than water,” the Old Carp said seriously.

The little donkey was taken aback, squinting, “Hey, hey, hey, you weren’t acting like this earlier! Your attitude changed pretty quickly!”

“Hmph, you don’t understand. This misunderstanding between me and him will clear up eventually. Just remember, my grandson has the potential of an Immortal Emperor—oh no, a Sage level!!!”

The old voice echoed in excitement throughout the courtyard.

The Old Carp was quite thrilled; this was a good omen indeed!

In an instant, all previous unpleasantness was forgotten.

Miss Liu was speechless.

She regretted revealing such information.

Days passed.

Ever since the four Chaotic Evil Spirits were killed, the Hundred Thousand Immortal Mountains were no longer a threat and had become a place for countless cultivators to explore.

The Ghost Eye Tribe, losing its protection, was quickly exterminated by various strong beings, while the Yami Tribe, who had shrunk deep within the Immortal Mountains, avoided disaster.

The reason was simple; the current leader of the Immortal Alliance had personally declared that the Yami Tribe could remain, and who would dare disobey?

Long Ao Tian recuperated at the Xuantian Sect, restoring his energy. During this time, he visited the courtyard once to seek revenge against the Old Carp, but to his surprise, the Old Carp was all smiles and even offered to teach him more profound dragon techniques.

Originally skeptical, Long Ao Tian gradually had his resistance fade away as he felt the boundless benefits.

After all, one doesn’t strike at those who offer smiles, especially when the other party actively provided him with advantages. Although he hadn’t called him grandpa yet, it was clear that Long Ao Tian no longer held such strong hostility.

The attitudes of both parties eased, an unspoken understanding formed.

On this day.

The sun was particularly bright.

On Mysterious Peak, the Green Lotus Sword Immortal bowed and reported the recent situation,

“Report to Island Master Ye, during our expansion, we have already established branches in the other three domains, with local strongest cultivators as branch leaders, all willing to serve the Immortal Alliance.”

“In addition, we have captured a few alien races from outside and are currently torturing them severely to extract information from their remaining comrades.”

In front of him, Ye Junlin reclined on a lounge chair and listened quietly, a subtle smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

I must admit, this feeling of controlling everything is really great!

The Immortal Alliance was now a colossal entity in the Kunlun Realm, larger than ever before, with a vast number of personnel responsible for intelligence; news spread far and wide, and even the smallest events could be known in detail.

Under this powerful organization, those attempting to hide among the Kunlun Realm were being exposed one by one, dragged out by the alliance’s strong beings for severe punishment.

Now, the results were very remarkable!

“Good, keep up the good work,” Ye Junlin nodded in appreciation.

Suddenly.

In the midst of everything.

He felt a special sensation arise.

“Um? What’s going on?”

Ye Junlin instinctively looked up at the sky.

“This feeling… it’s the sensation of being able to ascend!”

The Green Lotus Sword Immortal gazed upwards, his eyes filled with astonishment, “Has the passage to the Immortal Realm restored to normal?”

Exactly.

After several years, the once shattered passage to the Immortal Realm has officially been repaired today!
