Chapter 1649: Peach Blossom Island
Xiang Shaoyun spent half a month in the Ziling Sect. During that period of time, no other organization or expert came looking for trouble. All the sect members had been recalled, returning life to the sect.
Xiang Shaoyun"s time was spent accompanying each of his women and handling the sect affairs. One could say that this was a relaxing break from his hectic lifestyle. However, the sect was still facing ma.s.sive pressure. He did not dare to fully relax, as he needed to become a G.o.d as soon as possible. Only then would he be able to truly protect the sect.
Right before Xiang Shaoyun and Ye Chaomu set off for the Peach Blossom Island, Despair received an audience from Xiang Shaoyun.
"Greetings, overlord," saluted Despair respectfully.
"Rise," said Xiang Shaoyun. He smiled, "Congratulations for getting your revenge on your enemies."
"All that was thanks to your help, overlord. Despair will not forget the favor," said Despair solemnly.
"I"m happy to hear that," said Xiang Shaoyun in a pleased manner. "And now, I need you to return to the Southern Wasteland and lead the Tiele Clan."
"Overlord, this—" Despair did not know what to say to that.
Between following Xiang Shaoyun and becoming the hope of the Tiele Clan, he naturally preferred the latter. However, it wouldn"t be proper for him to voice that out. But when Xiang Shaoyun was the one to make the proposal, he started feeling guilty.
Even though he was already a G.o.d, he did not believe that he was strong enough to break free from Xiang Shaoyun.
"I know that"s what you wish for as well. As a descendant of the Barbaric Dynasty, you definitely have the ambitions to reclaim the lost glory of the Barbaric Dynasty. Return and do what you want. Just be sure to a.s.sist me with what you have in the future," said Xiang Shaoyun seriously.
Despair saw the raging ambition in Xiang Shaoyun"s eyes. Those were the eyes of someone who looked at the world with disdain, someone who would conquer the world. Perhaps this man"s ambition had always lain beyond the Ziling Sect.
"Yes, overlord. I will not disappoint you!" said Despair.
No matter what Xiang Shaoyun wanted him to do, everything would be worth it so long as he could rebuild the Tiele Clan and reclaim the glory of the Barbaric Dynasty. Was Xiang Shaoyun truly aiming to conquer the entire dominion?
I only want the numerous races to live together in peace, thought Xiang Shaoyun with a sigh.
Currently, he was a ninth-stage pseudo-G.o.d, only a step away from the Rebirth Realm. After entering the Rebirth Realm, he would be able to do much more with his trump cards. Of course, to accomplish his goal, just entering the Rebirth Realm would not be enough. Instead, he needed to reach the fabled realm. Before attempting his breakthrough, Xiang Shaoyun decided to go visit the Peach Blossom Island"s master, Lord Wu Xie, with Ye Chaomu.
In truth, the island"s actual name was Wu Xie Island. However, due to the peach blossoms all over the island that made the island look more like a paradise, it came to be known as the Peach Blossom Island. Xiang Shaoyun, Ye Chaomu, and Little White departed for the Peach Blossom Island.
Xiang Shaoyun planned to go somewhere with Little White after his visit to the Peach Blossom Island. Thus, he had decided to bring Little White with him. The Peach Blossom Island was located in the Western Desert. It was at the center of a lake. Located in the midst of a mountain range, the lake and its surroundings were lush and scenic. Numerous peach blossoms were growing in the area, filling the air with a bewitching fragrance.
A regular person would not be able to discover the Peach Blossom Island"s actual location. A terrifying G.o.d-grade formation surrounded the island. Anyone who tried to break in by force would probably be trapped till their death.
"Big brother, look at the Peach Blossom Island! Isn"t it beautiful?" asked Ye Chaomu with a look of bliss on her face.
"Yes, it"s pretty. But I don"t really like the coloring of this place," said Xiang Shaoyun as he regarded the world of pink before him.
"Hehe, if Master hears that, he will probably whip your a.s.s," said Ye Chaomu with a giggle.
"Boss is right. Not only is the coloring here bad, but even the smell is uncomfortable," said Little White as he covered his nose.
There was too much peach blossom fragrance in the air, to the point his nose was having allergic reactions.
"Hehe, let"s pick up the pace, then," said Ye Chaomu as she brought them through the peach blossom formation around the island.
Soon, they arrived within a certain valley. Several pure-looking young women appeared before them.
"The young lady has returned!" exclaimed one of them.
Then, the bubbly women rushed forth and saluted Ye Chaomu, "Greetings, young lady."
"Rise," said Ye Chaomu. "Take us in."
"Yes," they answered at the same time.
When their gazes landed on Xiang Shaoyun, they cried inwardly, How can a man as perfect as the island master exist in the world? Is he the man who has caught the young lady"s heart?
At the sh.o.r.e of the lake was a bamboo raft. When everyone stood on the raft, one of the young women started navigating the raft to approach the center of the lake. Generally, people at their cultivation levels would fly everywhere. Few would take the time to leisurely travel on a raft.
"Your master truly knows how to enjoy his life," said Xiang Shaoyun as he regarded the glistering lake around him.
"Yeah. Master is someone who stands aloof from worldly affairs and knows how to enjoy life to the fullest. Those who follow him will hardly have any temper," said Ye Chaomu.
"Haha, perhaps I need to learn from your master and turn into someone that stands aloof from worldly affairs as well," said Xiang Shaoyun with a hearty laugh.
"No, big brother. You can"t be like Master. You’re going to become a hero, the pillar that props the dominion up!" said Ye Chaomu.
"You"re making me shy," said Xiang Shaoyun as he blushed somewhat.
Suddenly, the water around them started spiraling. Both Xiang Shaoyun and Little White were on alert as they could sense that a monster was about to emerge from the lake. Sure enough, an enormous turtle emerged. It was a ma.s.sive draconic turtle with ferocious eyes that were terrifying to look at. Little White couldn"t help but release his powerful demonic aura and brace himself for battle.
"Grandpa Turtle, why are you so free today? You"re actually taking a breather out of the lake!" Ye Chaomu called out.
"It"s you, la.s.s? Are the man and the little white tiger your guests?" asked the turtle as he withdrew the ferocious aura around him.
"He"s my big brother and my man. This is Brother Little White. Master wishes to see my big brother. Please allow us pa.s.sage, Grandpa Turtle," said Ye Chaomu politely.
The turtle studied Xiang Shaoyun and Little White closely before saying, "Not bad at all. Go on."
He then submerged into the lake. The lake regained its calm, and the group successfully docked on the island.
