Ever since Xiao Chen rescued the three Immortal Holy Lands, the remnant forces of the various Holy Lands and countless fleeing cultivators headed for Heavenly Star Island .
Heavenly Star Island, which was supposed to be drenched in blood, managed to attain a temporary peace, gaining some time for a breather .
However, everyone knew that this was just the calm before the storm . An even larger storm was slowly brewing .
The Treasure Master would not leave things be so easily .
After all, the eight Immortal statues were withdrawn from the Cyclic Astral Palace and the Myriad Fiend Island on his own initiative .
Nobody knew what his true intentions were or what his unspeakable purpose was .

At the Treasure Master’s Residence on a secret island:
The various dark-colored buildings on this island were typical of sinister religious buildings . The black temples had strange diagrams, which had never appeared in the Kunlun Realm before, drawn into the walls .
Countless strange sculptures dotted a huge plaza in the center of the island .
The mouth to a mysterious black cave lay in the center of the plaza with an endless stream of cultivators being tossed in as sacrifices . Screams of fear came from the depths of the cave before coming to a stop . This was a bone-chilling sight, making anyone who saw it tremble in fear .
This cave was actually an altar, an altar that no one had ever seen before . The Treasure Master watched silently as cultivators were fed to the cave .
Aside from the saber scar on the Treasure Master’s face, no one could see his true appearance . It was shrouded in fog, just like his mysterious identity .
From the very start, the Treasure Master’s true face had always been a mystery .
Many black-clad old men were currently working on some complicated patterns at the edges of the altar . As the cultivators were tossed in, in an endless stream, a huge black figure was visible in the sky above the altar .
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Many figures descended from the sky, landing behind the Treasure Master, the Young Treasure Master Yi Ling among them . These were all the Treasure Master’s sons, but they were only adopted sons and not his true sons .

“Father, the strengthening of the Immortal Statues is already finished . They all can use Magic Treasures now,” the Young Treasure Master Yi Ling said as he took a step forward . Excitement flashed in his eyes .
“They can use Magic Treasures now?”
The Treasure Master turned around . A trace of interest appeared in his voice as he said softly, “These people really work fast . Let’s go over and take a look . ”
After saying that, the Treasure Master spread his hands, and a massive dark screen enveloped the group . Then, there was a flash of iridescent light .
The next time they appeared, the Treasure Master and all his adoptive sons were in the Penglai Sea .
That was right . The maintenance and repairs of the Immortal statues were being carried out by the Immortal Cultivators of the Penglai Sea . The pearls, made by duplicating the Puppet Pearl, also came from this group of Immortal Cultivators .
Currently, seventeen Immortal statues hovered above the surface of the vast sea region .
Many Immortal Cultivators wearing Daoist robes stood on various Magic Treasures and flew around the Immortal statues, occasionally sending out a beam of spiritual light into the statues .
With the maintenance of these Immortal Cultivators, the Immortal statues, which had undergone huge battles, looked like they were brand-new, becoming even stronger .
A disciple flew quickly to an old man and spoke respectfully with a bow . “Martial Uncle, the Treasure Master is here . ”
This old man was the last Immortal Venerate of the Penglai Sea, Immortal Venerate Yun Chen .
Immortal Venerate Yun Chen was famous for his pill refining skills, his refining flames having reached the peak . As for refining equipment, his skills there had reached the peak as well .
Naturally, the matter of repairing the Immortal statues was left to him .
Upon hearing that the Treasure Master was here, a look of helplessness flashed across Immortal Venerate Yun Chen’s face . He waved his hand to dismiss the disciple before turning into a beam of flowing light and arriving beside of the Penglai Sea’s transportation formation .
“Daoist Yun Chen, I heard that the Immortal statues can now use Magic Treasures . I definitely have to remember your contribution . ” The Treasure Master exchanged greetings with Immortal Venerate Yun Chen with a faint smile after flying out of the transportation formation .
Immortal Venerate Yun Chen did not say much . “Come with me . ”
The group followed Immortal Venerate Yun Chen to the seventeen Immortal statues .
Immortal Venerate Yun Chen waved his hand, and the Immortal Cultivators around the Immortal statues scattered, leaving only seventeen Immortal statues standing upright above the sea region; they looked at the group with cold gazes .
A heavy Immortal Might came from the statues . Despite being dead for millions of years, these statues’ pressure was still terrifying .

It was hard to imagine how strong they had been when they were alive .
It was even harder to imagine what kind of enemy could send such strong Immortals to their deaths .
As an Immortal Cultivator himself, when Immortal Venerate Yun Chen stood before these Immortal statues, he always felt complicated emotions .
When the Treasure Master revealed an unhappy expression, Immortal Venerate Yun Chen came back to his senses . Then, he took out the Puppet Pearl and sent in a beam of spiritual light .
“Boom!”
Intense light burst forth from the statues . The adoptive sons of the Treasure Master were all knocked away .
The only ones who remained at ease were the Treasure Master and Immortal Venerate Yun Chen .
A satisfied smile appeared on the Treasure Master’s face, which no one could see, as ancient Magic Treasures flew out from all the Immortal statues .
There were flying swords, war banners, bells, ancient mirrors…
“Not bad . These Magic Treasures will increase the Immortal statues’ combat prowess by at least fifty percent . Oh, by the way, have you figured out how to patch up their weakness in the chest?”
Immortal Venerate Yun Chen shook his head and replied, “There’s no way to do that . The Azure Dragon King’s move is an attack that is released from inside . No matter how we strengthen the outside, they cannot avoid that move . ”
The Treasure Master frowned and said, “That is problematic . Fortunately, he does not dare to use that move casually . We will leave it at this, then . ”
“Father, when are we going to make our move, capturing those people on Heavenly Star Island in one fell swoop?” the Young Treasure Master asked after stepping forward .
The Treasure Master looked at the Immortal statues and replied casually, “There’s no rush . Use the pearls first and familiarize yourselves with how to control the Immortal statues and use their Magic Treasures . ”
After the Treasure Master left, Immortal Venerate Yun Chen went halfway up a spiritual mountain in the Penglai Sea . There was a Martial Cultivator living there .
In this Penglai Sea, where everyone was an Immortal Cultivator, this cultivator, who was not from the Treasure Master’s Residence, stood out .
This person looked old and haggard with a lethargic vigor . However, he had a shocking name—Xie Changtian!
That was right . It was the Thunder Emperor’s good friend from back then, the Xie Changtian who created the Eternal Heavenly Sword School after the Thunder Emperor died . Xiao Chen once bitterly searched for this person . As Xiao Chen guessed, Xie Changtian was indeed in the Penglai Sea .

“He left?”
Xie Changtian did not say who he was referring to, but Immortal Venerate Yun Chen knew that he was referring to the Treasure Master .
“He has left . Like before, he is still unfathomable . I cannot figure him out at all . ”
“He did not notice the trick that you played, right? It is not easy to hide things from him . ” Xie Changtian spoke between sips of wine as if he was saying something unimportant and insignificant .
Immortal Venerate Yun Chen said, “He won’t . I am the only Immortal Venerate left in the world . No one can discover the things that I want to hide . Even if he were stronger, he would not be able to . ”
“Hahaha! You are crazy as well . The other two Immortal Venerates did not mind dying in order to save the Penglai Sea, seeking the Ghost Immortal Dao . However, you personally buried the entire Penglai Sea . ” Xie Changtian guffawed, then took a large gulp of wine . He seemed somewhat deranged like he was drunk and yet sober at the same time .
Immortal Venerate Yun Chen looked at this pitiful person and said, “Actually, I always wanted to know why exactly he did not kill you . Instead, he wasted so much resources to keep you alive . ”
Xie Changtian smiled and said, “It’s nothing much; there is no problem with telling you . After all, his plan is already in motion, and he no longer cares about it . It is because I am the only person in this world who has seen his true face . Only I know who he is . If he kills me, this information will spread throughout the world .
“However, it no longer matters . Even if he reveals his identity now, nothing will change . His plan is already in motion . The destruction of the Kunlun Realm is inevitable . Everything you are doing is useless . ”
Immortal Venerate Yun Chen took a sip of wine, remaining silent and not objecting .
Those who had never seen the Treasure Master’s true strength would never know just how strong he was .

Chu Chaoyun wore the imperial robes of the Tianwu Dynasty . As he stood in the vast expanse before the first Tianwu Emperor’s empty grave, he did not even glance at it .
