Chapter 53: The Third Heavenly Venerable Visits (Second Update, Please Collect)

  But just as Shengong Bao returned from the Dragon Palace, he heard the gatekeeper boy come up to pay his respects and say: "Master, the three fairy ladies of Sanxian Island are seeking an audience."

  "Ah! Quick, someone come and invite them! No, forget it, I'll go myself to welcome them. Have the fairy fruit wine prepared!" Sheng Gongbao exclaimed, then hastily rushed out of the Wudao Pavilion to greet San Chou.

  "Haha, the three fairy maidens have arrived at my humble abode, it's truly an honor that brings glory to this place! Welcome, welcome!" Shengong Bao exclaimed as he emerged from the vast and mysterious array, his eyes immediately falling upon the three lovely maidens standing outside.

  "Hmph, it's taken you so long to come out and greet me, how rude. I was about to have my sister leave." Who else could speak with such a tone besides Bixiao?

  Shen Gong's smile froze, and he was embarrassed for a while. Fortunately, Yun Xiao understood people's intentions well and helped him out of the awkward situation by saying, "Alright, let's go, sister. You were just shouting about wanting to see Shen Dao's dojo earlier."

  "Ah, please come in!" Shen Gongbao hastily descended the stairs and extended his hand to invite Sanxiao into the Xuanzhou Immortal Island.

  When passing through the Hunyuan Great Array, San Xiao and the others were all sparkling with insight in their eyes. The three of them were extraordinary individuals who could see that this array contained a hint of the Hunyuan aura, which was truly not ordinary. Even Shen Gongbao couldn't help but look at him with different eyes.

  Yun Xiao's hand grasped the Hunyuan Golden Dipper, able to set up the famous Nine Bends Yellow River Formation that shook the vast expanse. As for formation techniques, she naturally had a deep understanding, but she couldn't see the deployment method of this Chaos Great Formation at all, and she had never seen such an array before. Suddenly, her curiosity was piqued, and she said in a low voice: "I didn't expect that Shendao's attainments in formation techniques were also so profound."

  Shen Gong Bao listened and knew that Yun Xiao was talking about the Hunyuan Great Array, he smiled and said: "It's just a rough idea, can't compare to Cloudy Sky Dao friend's ***."

  "Daoist friends are humble and modest, we have the opportunity to discuss and debate with each other."

  "Haha, that's great! Why don't we have a discussion today and let those few disciples of mine listen in and broaden their horizons?"

  The soft clouds gently brushed against the green silk by her ear, and she nodded slightly in agreement, with a faint smile on her lips. She was indeed beautiful, but this time, Shen Gongbao, who had broken free from his heart demon, did not get lost in her charm. He just smiled faintly, with a hint of love in his eyes.

  When San Xiao first arrived at the Immortal Island of Yingzhou, he was also attracted by its rich spiritual energy and beautiful scenery, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Only to see Bi Xiao smiling and saying: "Ha, Shendao friend, I didn't expect you to find such a great place, it's really good luck!"

  "Haha, it's all thanks to luck, I didn't expect that I would actually find the first of the three overseas immortal islands, Yingzhou Immortal Island." Shen Gongbao said with a smile, feeling very proud.

  Qiong Xiao listened and looked at Shen Gong Bao with beautiful eyes, puzzled: "The three major immortal islands overseas, how come I've never heard of them?"

  Shen Gong Bao was taken aback, but then suddenly enlightened. He said: "These three overseas immortal islands are the Penglai Immortal Island, the Fangzhang Immortal Island, and the Yingzhou Immortal Island. Although they can't compare to the Golden Turtle Island of the Tongtian Sect Master, they are still top-notch blessed lands for immortals. They were formed from the fragments of chaos that fell from the void after Pangu opened up the sky and earth, and have been accumulating spiritual energy over a long period of time. Compared to ordinary blessed lands, their spiritual energy is much thicker. Moreover, each island has a natural grand formation guarding it, making it impossible for anyone without fate to find them."

  He then pointed at the vast and mysterious array in the void, saying: "This array is the island's protective grand array, named the Primordial Chaos Grand Array, heh heh."

  "Primordial Chaos Formation?" Yun Xiao exclaimed, while Bi Xiao and Qiong Xiao also asked in disbelief: "Is it the Primordial Chaos Formation passed down by Pangu the Great God?"

  "Hmm... seems like it?" Shen Gongbao asked puzzled: "What's wrong?"

  Yun Xiao paused for a moment, furrowed his brow and said: "I wonder how long it took our fellow Taoist to crack this formation back then?"

  "Three months, haha, I only have a superficial understanding of the formation method." Shen Gongbao was quite embarrassed, feeling that it took him three months to crack a large formation, which was too humiliating.

  Yun Xiao was speechless, and before she could say anything, Bi Xiao and Qiong Xiao chimed in unison: "We despise you!"

  "Cough...cough..." Sheng Gong Bao wiped away cold sweat from his forehead and said: "Is there something wrong with me?"

  Yun Xiao lightly covered his mouth and smiled, saying: "It seems that fellow daoist's understanding of formation techniques is not deep, and he doesn't quite understand. Formation techniques are also vast and profound, let alone the Primordial Chaos Great Array passed down by Pangu, which I've heard combines defense, illusion, and offense into a single super-array. If fellow daoist's understanding of formation techniques hasn't reached the pinnacle, then Yun Xiao guesses that this Primordial Chaos Great Array is incomplete; otherwise, it would be impossible for you to fully comprehend it in just three short months."

  "Sister is right, this big formation must be incomplete."

  Shen Gong Bao listened and smiled to himself, thinking: "I was able to understand the Hunyuan Great Array so quickly thanks to the 'Huangting Neijing Scripture', and this array must be a complete version. However, it's better to keep a low profile and leave some trump cards in reserve, especially in this treacherous Honghuang world."

  "Haha, the three fairy ladies are indeed extremely clever, guessing it correctly at once that this formation is incomplete, hehe."

  "Hmph, that's right. I've mastered the Great Array of Ten Thousand, and naturally, my attainments in array techniques are not ordinary." Bi Xiao said proudly, looking up with her small head.

  Yun Xiao shook his head and said, "Fellow Taoist, don't listen to my younger sister's nonsense. There is a heaven beyond the sky, and there are people outside of people. One cannot be as arrogant and self-important as my younger sister."

  "Bai Xiao pouted and said with a smile, 'Sister, I'm not being arrogant, I'm just telling the truth. Teacher's Xian Jian sword array, your Jiuhuang Yellow River array, Tianjun's Ten Absolute Arrays, and Wanshen's Great Array, which one is not a decisive formation that shakes the vast wilderness?'"

  Yun Xiao lightly tapped Bi Xiao's forehead and said with a spoiled tone, "You, you'll only be able to get rid of this bad habit after you've suffered the consequences of being too full of yourself."

  "Hehe, sister, this is the only thing that makes her cute. If she changes, I'm afraid she won't be Bi Xiang anymore." Qiong Xiang said with a smile, her eyes still twinkling as she looked at Bi Xiang.

  "Alright, Second Sister, are you praising me or mocking me? How annoying! Look out!" After saying that, she jumped to Qiong Xiao's side, wanting to tickle her. However, Qiong Xiao, who had been with Bi Xiao for many years, already knew what she was up to and dodged away with a smile. Bi Xiao immediately chased after her relentlessly, leaving behind Yun Xiao shaking his head and Shen Gongbao walking alongside him with a faint smile.

  "How have you been lately?" Shengong Bao and Yun Xiao walked slowly, looking at Yun Xiao's calm face, Shengong Bao smiled and said.

  "Every day I meditate and practice qigong, sing praises of Huang Ting, or accompany two younger sisters, it's great!"

  Shen Gong Bao nodded and said: "Hehe, I suppose so. Envy Cloud Xiao Dao friend, can cultivate without worry or care."

  "Oh?" Yun Xiao's eyebrows furrowed in curiosity, "Could it be that fellow Daoist has some troubles?"

  Shen Gong Bao opened his mouth wide and finally let out a sigh, pointing to the swaying tree shadows in the distance, saying: "The trees want to be still but the wind will not stop!"

  The cloud-like locks of hair fluttered, and she gazed deeply at Shen Gongbao with a piercing gaze that seemed to see right through his heart. "Are you troubled by the tribulations of the Sealing God?"

  "Hmm!" In front of Yun Xiao, Shen Gong Bao seemed to think that he didn't need to hide himself completely and said: "Not long after, I will enter the mortal world to make arrangements for the sealing of the gods. Whether it's a dragon or an insect, life or death, it all depends on my luck!"

  "Bodhi was originally a tree, and the mind is like a bright mirror stand. The calamity of the ages is not trivial, fellow Taoists should consider it for themselves. If you can leave early, then leave." Yun Xiao said vaguely.

  Shen Gong Bao smiled lightly, with a hint of carefree and leisurely air. He waved his sleeve gently, "Don't worry, Cloudy Daoist friend, I'm awake now. The calamity is both a challenge and an opportunity. Let's see how I'll ride through it!"

  "Good fellow, you have great courage and insight. Others avoid the calamity like a tiger, but you dare to discuss it freely. I, Yun Xiao, will wait with bated breath to see you unfold your grand plan."

  Shen Gong Bao slowly walked to Yun Xiao's front, fixedly gazing at her beautiful and delicate face. Suddenly, he fiercely wrapped his arms around Yun Xiao's slender waist, taking in the faint scent of orchid on her body. He chuckled and said: "Yun Xiao, just watch slowly!"

  Then Shen Gong Bao quickly let go of the slender waist that he was reluctant to part with, and ran forward with a loud laugh, leaving Yun Xiao's face blushing red. Looking at Shen Gong Bao running far away, she secretly cursed, "Bastard!"

  Then, with a blush, he looked around and found that no one had seen him, so he adjusted his clothes, calmed down, and then followed suit.
