Penglai, the ancient Immortal Island.

Recorded in the History of Martial Arts.

During the Dadu Dynasty, this immortal island was found by the Great Grandmaster Fang Qian and was used to establish the Penglai Sect. By the end of the Dadu Dynasty, after Fang Qian had entered Daoism, the Penglai Sect gradually declined.

Before Fang Qian entered Daoism, he once said, "I will detach myself from Penglai."

His words turned out to be prophetic. After the new dynasty was established and the Grand Ancestor ascended the throne, he ordered the Grandmaster to lead a fleet to Penglai Island, seeking to invite the noble hermits of Penglai to join the worldly affairs and assist the new dynasty. The fleet searched the original location of Penglai Island for half a year but ultimately found nothing.

The Penglai Immortal Island vanished from the Human World at an unknown time, becoming an unresolved mystery. Although Penglai Island still exists in the Yellow Sea today, it is no longer the Penglai Immortal Island of the past.

In the midst of the East Sea, there lies a vast abyss.

Truly, a bottomless valley, its depths unreachable.

It is named: Returning Ruins.

Three Thousand Weak Water cascades down into an abyss tens of thousands of fathoms deep.

At the bottom of the abyss, the figure of the Dragon King emerges.

With his hands behind his back, he walks in the abyss of the sea; first advancing forty-nine steps, then retreating one step, repeating this process nine times, and finally circulating counterclockwise around the Circle once.

Boom!

Billions of tons of seawater reversed its flow in an instant, as if giants from the legendary Dragon Country lifted the East Sea from below, rolling it up like a bead curtain!

Before him, the world had transformed.

Mountain peaks stood majestically, layered auspicious clouds drifted leisurely, and occasionally, rare birds and Mutant Beasts appeared in a flash, hurrying away. The air was fresh and the spiritual aura delightful, emitting an ancient aura.

The Cangtian Dragon King could not help but lament,

"The prosperous Mountain and Sea Realm has only left this tiny Canghai’s Treasure, and the group of starry Evil Gods truly are the calamity of billions of beings in the world, deserving of death a thousand times over!"

The world before him, though beautiful, lacked any signs of human life. The Dragon King transformed into a rainbow light, landing on the highest peak, quietly waiting.

After a short while.

Streaks of rainbow light of various colors crossed the heavens and earth, eventually landing on the highest sacred mountain and transforming into figures who could change the color of the world from the Absolute Peak.

With a disposition akin to that of Immortals and eyes containing the stars, Wanshixian said,

"We’re just missing our friend Hong Daoist."

In the sky, the rainbow light filled the heavens.

A young Daoist priest with a radiant face and carrying a horsetail whisk, arrived fashionably late.

Hong Daoist burst into laughter,

"Here I am! My first time here, I almost got lost."

The fourteen Absolute Peaks of Da Xia converged here.

Wanshixian gently clapped his hands,

"Let’s have a detailed discussion in the Penglai Pavilion."

Atop the sacred mountain, an ancient and fragrant Golden Pavilion appeared.

The Absolute Peaks followed the staircase, stepping into the pavilion one by one.

Along the way, Hong Daoist could not help but express his admiration,

"The president is truly a remarkable person to have found this treasure trove."

Wanshixian explained,

"I was also traveling in Zhongnan Mountain as an Absolute Peak when I received guidance from Echoing Valley and suddenly realized, ’Penglai’s weak waters in the east,’ isn’t it the location of the East Sea Ruins?"

Hong Daoist recalled,

"When I was traveling in Zhongnan Mountain, I also heard this phrase:

’A rootless and pingless fiery dragon, its name hidden in the vast Void, since passing the three peaks, returned to the weak waters east of Penglai... I wonder if this being who once transmitted methods to Lv Zu and Zhang Zu still exists? Could it really be a high figure from our Daoist sect?’

Master Hui Kong, imbued with astonishing wisdom, slightly shook his head,

"It is unlikely, we Absolute Peaks have a lifespan of only twelve cyclical terms, but according to the ancient records, this being has lived for at least two thousand years... In my opinion, the Red Dragon True Man is probably not human, possibly a being from the Mountain and Sea Realm. It’s just that to make it easier for our ancestors to understand, he assumed the identity of a Daoist Immortal."

The stunningly beautiful Yaochi Immortal slightly nodded,

"I remember the president mentioned, this unique space between the Void Realm and the Human World was possibly a slice of Inch Cave Heaven cleaved out with Great Divine Power during a great battle in the Mountain and Sea Realm to preserve the seeds of civilization."

Finally, Hong Daoist, who had just "joined the group," realized,

"I see, does the Red Dragon True Man still exist? The previous breakthroughs of Zhang Zu and Lv Zu would not have been possible without the help of this high figure. Although he is not human, he must have goodwill towards us. Now, with the crisis in the Void Realm looming, if he could appear and fight alongside us, things would definitely be easier."

Wanshixian remarked,

"The Method transmitted by the Red Dragon differs from our Martial Arts; both Lv Zu and Zhang Zu merely drew inspiration from it. To break free from constraints, humans must rely on themselves. However, the longevity of Lv Zu and Zhang Zu in the past...

Indeed could not have been achieved without the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures provided by the Red Dragon True Man.

Regardless of whether the Red Dragon is alive or not, his power alone cannot contend with the forbidden beings. If the original inhabitants of the Mountain and Sea Realm were defeated by the Evil God, it shows that their path may not be the correct one. Martial Arts and technology are the way out for humans."

The Cangtian Dragon King nodded,

"That makes sense, the history of human Martial Arts isn’t even a fraction of the lifespan of those Evil Gods, but we have already broken through seven constraints. Humanity only needs a few hundred years to birth a Seventh Realm powerhouse. Those Demon Venerables have cultivated for thousands of years. Their path is outdated, reliant only on their earlier existence.

Old things will inevitably be replaced by new, and for us humans, Martial Arts and technology are the new things. The ultimate victory will surely be ours!"

These words, if spoken by anyone else, would seem like delusional confidence.

But coming from the Dragon King, the Absolute Peaks felt it was reasonable.

A hundred years to Breakthrough Seven, who else?

Humans, in victory or defeat, must possess the spirit of renaissance nobility!

Inside the Penglai Pavilion, there was a round table.

Wanshixian casually picked a spot to sit down, and the others also took their seats.

Hong Daoist asked,

"Can we sit anywhere?"

Wanshixian smiled,

"We are all Daoist friends here, discussing Dao, do we still need to rank by seniority?"
