Chapter 1031: Chapter 75: There Is No Path to Immortality in This World (37)

In front of us is a colossal island.

Though unsure how we were transported to this location, without a doubt, Daoist Bai Jie glanced around at the position where his side was located—on the edge of this island: the beach.

It seems not everyone has been transferred to the same location; Daoist Bai Jie roughly glanced around, approximately half of the people were not on this beach.

The fine, golden sand conveyed a soft touch, while the sparkling seawater behind washed up and retreated, leaving clear watermarks.

Meanwhile, the group of demons was at a corner of the beach. The spot where all members of the demon clan landed was the rocky outcrops on the beach. Similarly, the demon clan was not entirely gathered, some faces were absent… for instance, the extraordinarily ferocious Huang Baifu was missing among the crowd of demons.

This place is inexplicably strange, but undoubtedly, the Spiritual Energy here is remarkably rich, not inferior to that beside the Jade Dragon Pillar.

It seems the state of Spiritual Energy here is inherent to this place itself, unlike the Jade Dragon Pillar which was caused by the release of Spiritual Energy during advancement.

“This isn’t sand!” Suddenly, a young Taoist from the Daoist Association exclaimed, “This is gold!”

The golden ‘sand’ slipped from the hand of the young Taoist at that moment. However, he quickly grabbed another handful, and with a sound of a ‘boom’, a cluster of bright red flame was generated in his palm.

Under the heat of the flame, the ‘sand’ quickly melted, gathering into a puddle of golden liquid. Shortly after, as the golden liquid cooled and solidified, it surprisingly turned into real gold!

Such a vast expanse of beach, unexpectedly, is entirely made up of this high-purity gold!

Although for Taoists, wealth is not considered the most important… historically, cultivation has always emphasized financial, physical, and magical resources, and wealth allows one to possess more resources.

A few kilograms, dozens of kilograms, or even hundreds of kilograms of gold may not concern these Taoists… but what if it’s an entire massive beach of golden sand?

Not just that, the seawater washing up seems to carry some shiny objects… upon closer inspection, one would find they are nearly flawless pearls, jade, and agates!

As it turns out, beneath this beach lies countless heaps of treasures!! No wonder the seawater appears to shine!

“President Huanyang, Vice President Lai, and Vice President are not here…” A man who seemed rather composed whispered beside Daoist Bai Jie, “Besides this, Qingcheng Mountain, Tianfu Cave, Five Elements Sect… the companions from nine sects are also not seen. But they were present in the deep valley.”

“I know.” Daoist Bai Jie nodded his head, “Over there… it’s not just Huang Baifu, Qu Xinghe, and Xiao Shengmo are also missing. It seems to be a random transfer, hmm…”

Daoist Bai Jie mused silently, deep in thought.

At this moment, demons gathered in a corner of the rocky outcrop began to walk towards the Taoists, with Ming Tus Mountain stepping forward directly, coming to stand before Daoist Bai Jie, clasping his hands with a smile, “Daoist Bai Jie, I find this place peculiar, how about we set aside some minor disputes and cooperate in handling it?”

Most of the power from China’s fighting forces has been gathered here, yet was inexplicably transferred to this strange island, rendering the methods obscure and unfathomable, causing foreboding in Ming Tus Mountain’s heart; if the outside skirmishes continue here, it would clearly be an unwise move.

Originally, this conflict was initiated by Huang Baifu and had nothing to do with the Black Tortoise Clan… moreover, just as Daoist Bai Jie stated, the relationship between the Black Tortoise Clan and the Taoism-cultivated field is indeed better than that with any of the demon clans.

After all, the Black Tortoise Clan had a True Martial Great Emperor from Taoism once, didn’t they?

Naturally, the Four Spirits of Heaven are ancient Divine Beasts worshipped in ancient China, each having historical ties with Taoist origins, but as times change, the only remaining legacy is the True Martial Great Emperor’s Taoist lineage.
