Unfortunately, Fallen Immortal Island is under Xuantian Sect. Otherwise, I could have asked those golden koi fish for some feed one day.

Thinking of this, Ye Junlin couldn’t help but reminisce about the carefree days of watching cockfights and feeding fish in his little courtyard.

“Overall, Long Ao Tian is a freak of the dragon race born from coincidental circumstances, a freak among freaks. The scariest part is that he possesses two rare divine abilities of the dragon race! He’s practically a natural-born battle maniac!”

Senior Gou’s bright dog’s eyes sparkled as he disclosed more secrets about Long Ao Tian.

“What? Two divine abilities?!” Canglang Jun exclaimed.

Even someone with a vague understanding of the dragon race knew that each member, at birth, has a chance to have an innate divine ability. The more noble the bloodline, the higher the chance. The strength of these divine abilities varies, but having any is better than none!

However, there’s one rule: no matter the identity, every dragon member is guaranteed at least one innate divine ability.

Never expected Long Ao Tian to have two at once—truly astonishing!

“Does anyone know what those two are?” Senior Gou gently stroked his beard, slightly smug.

“Come on, spill it! Don’t leave us hanging!” Hong Qianye urged, eager to gather intel on that guy.

Senior Gou jumped in surprise, chuckling awkwardly,

“Several interested Immortal Emperors have secretly observed Long Ao Tian’s battles. The first one is called Dragon Blood Boiling, which supposedly boosts combat power by hundreds of times. The second is Dragon Breath Fury; the angrier he gets, the greater the power he releases!”

Upon hearing this, everyone gained a clearer understanding of Long Ao Tian’s capabilities.

“Wait a minute, if Long Ao Tian is such a prodigy, why is he not well-regarded in the Black Dragon Tribe? Even if he’s a freak in the tribe, isn’t the so-called dragon race being too petty?” Liu Qingming suddenly raised his hand to ask.

“Yeah, with two rare divine abilities, why doesn’t the Black Dragon Tribe treat him better?” Canglang Jun realized this and asked in confusion.

If he met the Black Dragon Tribe’s leader, he’d definitely advise them to read “Vision”!

“You don’t know,” Senior Gou smiled and said. “When Long Ao Tian was born, he didn’t show any innate divine abilities. The Black Dragon Tribe thought he was a failed hybrid, but later, after being bullied by some elder’s children, he activated two divine abilities during his resistance, injuring them severely and fleeing the Black Dragon Tribe’s territory overnight.”

“Ah, now it makes sense…” Everyone understood.

“Serves them right! They were blind! If I were Long Ao Tian, I wouldn’t have a good impression of the Black Dragon Tribe either!” Liu Qingming huffed in indignation.

Senior Gou’s lips twitched a bit, his clear dog eyes revealing a hint of frustration.

I get that you’re standing up for him, but you had to use that analogy, huh?

Liu Qingming realized the awkwardness in his words and quickly apologized, “Sorry, Senior Gou, I didn’t mean it like that…”

“Eh, just be more careful next time,” Senior Gou waved his hand, too lazy to argue.

“By the way, little Hong, did Long Ao Tian mention where he’s headed next?” Ye Junlin asked curiously.

Hong Qianye shook her head, “No, but it looks like he’s off to do something significant.”

Senior Gou pondered, “In my humble opinion, he’s probably looking for a suitable place to quickly recover his cultivation. I remember his peak was at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Emperor.”

At this, Ye Junlin’s eyes flickered, his tone meaningful, “I hope he can recover soon.”

Because then, he could leech off some of that cultivation!

However, the words struck the others with a different depth.

At that moment, they all stood in awe, increasingly respecting Ye Junlin’s mindset.

No matter how strong the opponent was, so what?

A true strong person would always maintain an invincible heart, believing that even the strongest opponent could become a stepping stone, unafraid of any challenge!

Clearly, this young man was one such person!

…

Since the fall of Cangming Sacred Land, many cultivators thought the Central Region would enjoy a period of peace, but just a few days later, a sudden and massive change shattered the current situation.

During this time, several Dao states encountered abrupt changes, terrifying auras erupting one after another; a vast, ocean-like sense of oppression shrouded the eight directions, making both righteous and demonic cultivators tremble in fear and uncertainty.

Then, unbelievable scenes emerged.

Boom!!!

Countless Immortal King-level beings burst forth like mushrooms after rain, recklessly releasing their cultivation auras, causing heaven and earth to dim and the sun and moon to lose their light!

On a towering cliff, a colossal being with the head of an ox and the body of a man stood, exuding a terrifying ferocity. It threw back its head and let out a roar that pierced the heavens, causing numerous mountains to collapse and dust to swirl.

In a now infamous sect, despair engulfed the atmosphere as a giant toad, entirely dark purple with skin riddled with tumors, descended from the sky, its long, scarlet tongue snatching up numerous cultivators to satisfy its appetite.

There was also a one-eyed giant covered in runes, rampaging through several cities, resulting in countless casualties and cries of despair from the populace.

And there was an old man in green robes, carrying a long sword, swiftly sailing through the skies as though he were sensing this new era, taking in the wondrous scenery.

The emergence of Immortal Kings occurred across many Dao states in the Central Region.

This also marked the breaking of the existing situation!

“Yesterday, a being claiming to be Elder Qingyang established Qingyang Dao Palace in the Golden Province, openly accepting demon race disciples!”

“Major incident! Two unknown Immortal Kings clashed in battle, resulting in multiple small nations and sects in Mingyue Province suffering heavy casualties!”

“Crisis! A giant toad is wreaking havoc in Nanyang Province, feeding on the Human Race!”

…

The news transmission agency, Yinkui Organization, reported daily on disturbances in the Central Region.

Panic spread like a tidal wave, leaving people on edge, the atmosphere stifling and dreary.

“Heavens! How could this happen?!”

“In this day and age, how can there be so many Immortal Kings? Am I dreaming?”

“Friend, even if it’s a dream, it’s a nightmare!”

“I’ve got inside information; these beings seem to be from ancient times, and they all came out to fight for immortal fortunes!”

“Are you kidding me?! Our cultivation world was already chaotic enough, and now they’re joining in? Isn’t that bullying?!”

“Who’s gonna manage this? If this keeps going, what survival chance do we have left as cultivators in this era?”

Cultivators everywhere complained bitterly, filled with worry about the future situation in the Central Region.

Just when ancient powerhouses were running rampant and wreaking havoc, a man in a flower-patterned robe, topped with a big red flower, with rat-like brows and a sinister smile, appeared in Dantai Province.

He emitted a terrifying Immortal King aura, crushing all the local cultivators to their knees, their faces filled with fear.

“I heard there’s a sect here called Yaoguang Sacred Land, filled with young and beautiful female cultivators. I, Flower Picking Immortal, have been asleep for so long; it’s high time to indulge myself again. Hehehe…”

This rat-eyed man was none other than the infamous Flower Picking Immortal from the Kunlun Realm of ancient times.

As the name suggests, he delighted in invading female cultivators, seeking to replenish his own vitality at their expense.

Due to his bad reputation and having harmed countless female cultivators, many powerful figures were displeased with him, so for a long time, Flower Picking Immortal had been cautiously hiding away. Even when the Immortal Realm was established, he did not follow the mainstream but instead hatched plans to seal himself away in sleep, waiting for the right moment to awaken in the future.

Now, the time had come, and Flower Picking Immortal hurried out, greedily inhaling the fresh air, a lecherous smile spreading across his face.

This meant he could live luxuriously and continue to cause trouble in this new era!
