For him now, the foremost task was to subdue "Ascending Immortal Island."
Had Tao Qian been just an ordinary Foundation Establishment disciple, accomplishing this would have been extremely difficult.
But he was not; Tao Qian had dispatched an Invisibility Demon last night to scout, and after getting the results, he pondered them carefully.
"Just need to acquire the appropriate Buddhist Daoist Techniques, release a fraction of the Buddha Bird Relics, and combine it with my other methods, subduing Ascending Immortal Island shouldn't be too hard."
"Let's see what I can gain from this trip?"
As the thought settled, Tao Qian's Evasion Light shot out over a hundred more miles.
In the blink of an eye, Tao Qian descended on a cloud, quickly coming upon an Immortal Island planted with all sorts of strange flowers and herbs, towering Ancient Wood.
Clearly, this was Red Sleeve Immortal Island.
Belonging to the Spirit Treasure Female Fairy, Pan Si Fairy.
This immortal had not appeared for some reason during the previous two opportunities, so Tao Qian had not yet met her.
After all, it was a Sect leader's Daoist Field, and Tao Qian did not dare to rashly intrude.
Instead, he triggered the visiting Cloud Talisman he had prepared in advance with Immortal Spiritual Qi, which immediately turned into a stream of light and entered the island.
To Tao Qian's surprise, however, he immediately received a response.
A stream of light shot back, and as Tao Qian grasped the Cloud Talisman, a clear, cold, yet gentle voice echoed inside:
"Don't come onto the island, just tell me what you seek."
Hearing this, Tao Qian felt a bit strange.
But he still followed the request, writing clearly what he sought, and threw another Cloud Talisman onto the island, then waited outside.
While waiting, he admired the landscape of the Immortal Island before him.
According to what the Crystal Demon Girl, Zhong Doudou, had said, among the Penglai Sea's thousand immortal islands, each one was distinct, each a beauty of the Immortal realm invisible to the Mortal World.
Tao Qian had now seen Golden Radiance Island, Ascending Immortal Island, and Ultimate Happiness Island, indeed each of them was extraordinary.
However, looking at the one before him, Tao Qian felt it seemed rather ordinary after a while.
Until a certain moment, when he seemed to zone out.
Looking again, the flowers, plants, and trees had disappeared, and before him stood a Big Island wrapped in endless silver silk threads. Layer upon layer, corridor upon corridor, too thick to ascertain, the silk threads spread out in all directions, seemingly in line with the natural laws of the universe. Even though the threads appeared coated in a viscous liquid, it gave the impression of a giant cocoon floating in the sea.
But to Tao Qian, it was not at all terrifying.
After blinking, the bizarre scene vanished, and the slightly illusory Red Sleeve Immortal Island reappeared.
Before Tao Qian had a chance to look closely again, another stream of light shot out.
Coming to a stop in front of him, it burst open.
Tao Qian saw only a figure wearing a skirt with long sleeves, cold and otherworldly like an immortal in white, vanish in a flash, as the gentle voice rang out:
"Since you are the great senior brother's disciple and have some connection with Sister Yunhua,"
"I will take the initiative to fetch for you what you need. These techniques have not been recorded in the Great Book, nothing particularly rare."
"Go now, and next time... next time you are free, come and seek me out."
As the voice died down, Tao Qian was looking at a total of four items floating in front of him that carried the techniques, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
He wasn't surprised the techniques were directly brought to him.
What made him freeze was the temperament of this "Pan Si Immortal."
Observing those signs, although without much evidence, Tao Qian suddenly came to a conclusion: Pan Si Fairy seemed to fear meeting people, perhaps even a bit of social anxiety?
Inexplicably, Tao Qian even muttered a term only existing in his previous life.
ps: The transitional episodes within the Sect will come to a quick close, moving onto the main storyline.
