Chapter 83

With Xuanyuan ascending to the position of Human Emperor, he immediately began to reorganize the human race and mobilize a large army, preparing for a battle against Chiyou.

To counter the vast armies of the witch clans, Xuanyuan specially formed an elite force, each member of which possessed considerable magical power.

Xuanyuan raised a great banner to campaign against Chiyou, attracting the assistance of many cultivators. Not only did all the cultivators of the Chongtian Sect join, but some independent cultivators also volunteered to serve under Xuanyuan.

Thus, it did not take long for Xuanyuan to have a strong and well-equipped army, ready for battle.

On this day, Ding Yue entered the East Sea and arrived at a fairy island.

Liu Bo Mountain, Kuiniu.

"The great trend I cannot sway, but who knows how things will turn out from small to large?"

Ding Yue stepped onto the island and observed it. He found that although the fairy island was only a few dozen miles in circumference, making it a small island among the East Sea archipelago, the scenery was beautiful and unique. Beneath the island, several innate spirit veins intertwined, making this small island a rare and blessed land.

"Now, for innate spirit veins to exist without degenerating, they must be stabilized by something. What is it?"

Ding Yue pondered, not in a hurry. He walked slowly, covering several miles with each step. In no time, he reached the central mountain of Liu Bo Mountain.

On the mountain, there was a spacious cave, with an entrance ten zhang high, making it appear quite grand.

Entering the cave, it was somewhat deep but relatively dry. The cave walls were dotted with faint luminescence, making the interior quite bright.

"Innate spirit treasure?" Ding Yue frowned. "Or an accompanying spirit treasure?"

In front of Ding Yue, deep in the cave, was a spacious chamber about a dozen zhang in diameter. In the center, a deep blue gem seal was floating.

The gem seal was only palm-sized, but its surface was covered with intricate patterns. Lightning continuously flowed and flickered, causing the chamber to alternate between light and dark.

The gem seal itself naturally emitted a strong innate spirit pressure, spreading throughout the cave and stabilizing the island's innate spirit veins.

Ding Yue, of course, was not concerned about the innate spirit pressure of this mid-grade innate spirit treasure. He easily entered the chamber.

With a wave of his hand, Ding Yue picked up the gem seal and used his magical power to suppress its vibrations.

"It has only been slightly refined."

Ding Yue frowned. The gem seal had only been slightly refined, which was somewhat unexpected.

Although accompanying innate spirit treasures naturally harmonize with their owners and can be used without refinement, complete mastery still requires careful refinement, though it is much easier than with ordinary spirit treasures.

Moreover, cultivators with accompanying spirit treasures generally consider them as their life treasures, and even a spirit treasure of a higher grade would not be exchanged. Therefore, accompanying spirit treasures are very precious.

However, this gem seal seemed to be neglected, only slightly refined, and the refinement method was also crude.

"Moo!!!"

At this moment, a loud roar came from outside, accompanied by the rumbling of thunder.

The gem seal trembled even more, lightning surged, and bolts of thunder crackled.

Ding Yue did not continue to suppress it. He loosened his grip and released the gem seal.

Immediately, it shimmered and transformed into a bolt of lightning, flying out of the chamber.

Ding Yue stepped out of the chamber and stood on the mountain, looking down.

Outside the island, a massive beast with a single hoof and a height of several dozen zhang slowly emerged from the sea, its body covered in lightning, its eyes glowing brightly, illuminating the surroundings.

The gem seal landed on the head of the Kuiniu, slightly moved, and then disappeared into its body.

"Moo!!!"

The Kuiniu let out a low roar, thunder rumbling, its eyes somewhat hazy, looking at Ding Yue on the island with anger.

"Such a great opportunity and foundation, yet even the wisdom has not been awakened. Pitiful."

Ding Yue sighed. His figure moved, and he appeared in front of the Kuiniu. Although his body was much smaller compared to the Kuiniu, like an ant to an elephant, the aura emanating from Ding Yue made the Kuiniu retreat several steps, its eyes filled with fear, and it had the impulse to flee back into the sea.

The Kuiniu had a superior foundation and opportunity, but at this moment, although it had the cultivation of a Golden Immortal, its Daoist path was only slightly above that, clearly not matching its magical power.

Moreover, the Kuiniu was still somewhat dazed, its wisdom not yet awakened.

"Alas." Ding Yue's mind turned, and he changed his previous intention. "Follow me from now on."

As he spoke, his hand glowed with divine light, and with a wave, the divine light flew into the Kuiniu's brain.

"Moo!!!"

Instantly, the Kuiniu let out a gentle roar, its eyes clearing, and it looked at Ding Yue with gratitude.

"Let's go!"

Ding Yue mounted the Kuiniu and said, his divine consciousness transmitting the location of the Three Immortal Islands to the Kuiniu.

"Moo!"

The Kuiniu paused, its eyes looking at Liu Bo Mountain with some reluctance.

"This small island will still be yours, no need to worry."

Seeing this, Ding Yue waved his sleeve, and divine light radiated, landing on Liu Bo Mountain, instantly forming a great protective array.

Then, Ding Yue threw out a treasure made of innate copper, landing in the cave on the island, serving both as a stabilizing treasure for the protective array and as a stabilizing treasure for the innate spirit veins.

Ding Yue had a considerable amount of innate copper from Shouyang Mountain, and over the years, he had refined many treasures with it. Due to the excellent material and Ding Yue's exceptional craftsmanship, the treasures he refined were all top-notch, more than sufficient for stabilizing purposes.

Next, Ding Yue waved his sleeve again, and a massive rock outside Liu Bo Mountain rose to a height of over ten zhang. A flash of light, and the three characters "Liu Bo Mountain" appeared on it.

Moreover, Ding Yue's signature was also inscribed: "Immortal of the Cut-off Sect, Mountain and Water."

Seeing this, the Kuiniu did not insist. It let out a loud roar, stepped on the sea surface with its single hoof, and moved with the grace of flowing clouds, quickly breaking through the sea and disappearing.

The Three Immortal Islands in the East Sea.

Ding Yue had visited the Three Immortal Islands a couple of times before, so he was familiar with the way. Soon, he brought the Kuiniu to the Three Immortal Islands.

The Three Immortal Islands were famous in the East Sea, mainly due to the three immortal maidens on the island.

Before Ding Yue could speak, the great array on the island fluctuated, and a figure ran out.

"Father."

Ding Yu, with her mischievous and lovely appearance and cheerful personality, quickly hugged Ding Yue's arm, coquettishly.

"Forgive me, Sister, Yu has caused trouble for the senior sisters."

Ding Yue did not pay attention to his precious daughter but instead spoke to the few people who came to greet him, including Yunxiao.

"Ah, Junior Brother Ding, Yu has already become my disciple, you cannot take her away."

Before their eldest sister could speak, Qiongxiao excitedly interjected, looking at Ding Yue with a defensive expression and calling out to Ding Yu, "Little Yu, come here, don't always cling to your father."

"Senior Sister, I want to be with Father."

Clearly, Ding Yu did not fully respect her senior sister, still clinging to Ding Yue's arm and saying, "Father, your mount is so ugly."

Senior Sister? So ugly?

Ding Yue felt a headache and patted Ding Yu's head.

"Junior Brother, don't mind it, Qiongxiao and Yu were just joking." Yunxiao smiled gently, speaking up for her sister.

Without the consent of the other party, taking away their daughter was indeed unreasonable.

"Senior Sister, since Yu has already become Qiongxiao's disciple, I naturally agree."

Ding Yue had carefully considered the matter of discipleship and ultimately decided to agree. Although Ding Yu would be Qiongxiao's disciple, among the three immortal maidens, only Qiongxiao had a disciple, while the other two had none. Thus, Ding Yu would become the sole disciple of the Three Immortal Islands.

The benefits? There were many.

Hearing Ding Yue's words, Qiongxiao, who was about to speak, immediately changed her mind. She smiled broadly at Ding Yue, feeling that this junior brother was quite perceptive and knew that she was a good teacher.

At this moment, a man in golden robes ran out, bowing to Ding Yue and saying, "Master."

This was naturally Ding Yue's leisurely mount, the Dragon Beard Beast.

However, the Dragon Beard Beast looked at Ding Yue with a hopeful expression, indicating that it was not doing well.

"Father, from now on, you can ride this ugly one, and Longlong will be mine." Ding Yu said.

This made the Dragon Beard Beast's face turn bitter, feeling almost on the verge of collapse.

However, after Ding Yu glared at him, the Dragon Beard Beast dared not say anything.

"Rubbish talk."

Ding Yue glared at his daughter, knowing her character and understanding the Dragon Beard Beast's suffering.

However, there was nothing he could do to help the Dragon Beard Beast.

Not staying for long, Ding Yue and the Kuiniu left the Three Immortal Islands. He had mainly come for Ding Yu's sake. Seeing that everything was fine, he did not want to stay longer, as his relationship with the three immortal maidens, though familiar, was not that close.

"Who!"

In the East Sea, Ding Yue suddenly stopped the Kuiniu, his aura slowly rising, his eyes narrowing, a faint light flickering as he looked around the void.
