Given the current situation, it's not just Ye Tianchen, many people have a premonition that a major upheaval in this Martial Arts World is approaching. This could be a fortunate event for martial artists, or a tragic one. Only absolute strength and talent can take you further.

The Blood Killing Organization, the Nine Netherworld, the Gold family—these malevolent legacies, their enmity with Ye Tianchen is an unending battle to the death. However, this cannot be an excuse for Ye Tianchen to pause his journey. The Martial Arts World is inherently a brutal society where the strong rule and the victors dictate everything, while the losers are torn to pieces. Everyone who reaches the level of a supreme strong has endured countless hardships and life-and-death battles, standing atop fallen enemies. In the struggles of the Martial Arts World, there are only two outcomes: you either defeat the enemy and move forward or become a corpse and a stepping stone for others. There are no alternatives.

"Tianchen, we now have two pieces of the Ancient Transmission Array. There's another piece, which we are almost certain is with the Blood Killing Organization. The Blood Killing Organization should be in the Penglai Ancient Martial World; last time, I divined it!" Tianshuang said after thinking for a moment.

"The Penglai Ancient Martial World, I must make a trip there. I am determined to obtain the third piece of the Ancient Transmission Array!" Ye Tianchen nodded resolutely.

Dongfang Meng glanced at Ye Tianchen and said with concern, "Tianchen, if you're going to the Penglai Ancient Martial World, you must be extremely careful. It's a place unlike the Song Mountain Ancient Martial World and the Heaven Mountain Ancient Martial World, historically known as the Immortal Island, filled with power and mystery."

"The Penglai Ancient Martial World is indeed a very mysterious place, known as Penglai Fairy Island and Penglai Fairyland. It's not just that the Ancient Martial World has many mysterious legends; such tales have never stopped circulating in the Mortal World on Earth as well. It's a place with 'immortals'…" Tianshuang couldn't help but remind him.

"Immortals? I don't quite believe it. There are martial arts supreme strong who can pluck stars and move mountains, but there has never been an instance of someone achieving Eternal Life and becoming an Immortal. I think that's just a legend!" Ye Tianchen shook his head.

"No, it could be true. Even if there are no 'immortals' in the Penglai Ancient Martial World now, there certainly were in the past..."

Tian Boguang walked over, looking seriously at Ye Tianchen as he spoke.

"Brother Tian, you can't be joking, right?" Ye Tianchen asked, startled.

"Even if I were joking, I'd have limits. If you're heading to the Penglai Ancient Martial World, I wouldn't joke about this. You must be extremely cautious. The Penglai Ancient Martial World is a place filled with too much mystery, a place almost completely isolated from other worlds. Even in the Song Mountain Ancient Martial World and the Heaven Mountain Ancient Martial World, few martial artists can enter Penglai Ancient Martial World—not because they don't wish to, but because they simply can't enter…" Tian Boguang said earnestly.

"Can't enter?" Dongfang Meng asked, frowning.

"Yes, because I once loved adventure and ventured to the Penglai Ancient Martial World. However, I only reached the fringe of the Penglai Ancient Martial World before being swept out, nearly dying there. Despite having been in cultivation for so long, I've only been there once, and the memory is still vivid!" Tian Boguang seemed to be recalling his past adventure to Penglai Ancient Martial World, feeling a little frightened even now.

It turns out that about twenty years ago, back when Tian Boguang, lacking outstanding talent and the emergence of numerous powerful factions in the three major Ancient Martial Worlds, was considered a martial arts master. Along with his 'Divine Movement Skill' being unrivaled, hardly anyone could catch up with him. Tian Boguang roamed freely. A man of romance and indulgence, after having seen many beauties and flirted with many female martial artists in the Song Mountain Ancient Martial World and the Heaven Mountain Ancient Martial World, naturally thought of the legendary 'Penglai Ancient Martial World' that had ancient legends of fairyland; perhaps there truly were female fairies there?

With such thoughts, Tian Boguang ventured to the 'Penglai Fairy Island' on the ocean. To the people of the Mortal World, it's impossible to find this 'Penglai Fairy Island', no matter how advanced their instruments. Because like the Song Mountain and Heaven Mountain Ancient Martial Worlds, the Penglai Ancient Martial World is also hidden by powerful formations. Besides highly skilled martial artists, mortal people cannot find such a place. Tian Boguang, full of boundless curiosity, wanted to witness the place that had always shared the same legends in both the Ancient Martial World and the Mortal World, reputed to be a 'fairyland', to see what wonders it held. At the age of twenty-something, he used his Divine Movement Skill to go.

Legend has it that the Penglai Fairy Island has three divine mountains in the Bohai: Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang, where immortals reside. It was historically a place of seeking immortality and elixirs by the First Emperor of Qin and Emperor Han Wu. The scenery there is all white, palaces of gold and silver, gardens of pearls; the trees bear fruits of all flavors, eating them grants eternal life.

The legends of the Penglai Fairy Island are many even in the Mortal World, but those familiar with them are few, and many tales are fabricated. When Tian Boguang ventured to the 'Penglai Ancient Martial World', he did not solely believe these legends. He followed certain transmitted stories from the Ancient Martial World, went to the sea, drifting and walking on waves without the aid of tools, relying solely on his 'Divine Movement Skill', manipulating qi to fly over the sea, heading toward the direction of the 'Penglai Ancient Martial World'.

For three whole days and nights, Tian Boguang searched without stopping. Ultimately, he found a fairy island—a place shrouded in immortal fog, teeming with spiritual energy, yet protected by powerful formations. It appeared serene, absent of any killing intent, just like a true fairyland. However, when Tian Boguang approached the island's periphery, intending to set foot on it, he felt an inexplicably out-of-place feeling, and was suddenly swept away by a force, almost losing his form and spirit. This greatly shocked Tian Boguang, fearing for his life on this isolated island, thus he returned, not daring to try again lightly.

"Is it really that mysterious and terrifying?" Dongfang Meng asked in surprise.

"I remember my master once told me, the Penglai Ancient Martial World is the most mysterious place. Whether in the now remaining three major Ancient Martial Worlds, or in the past flourishing cultivation era on Earth, it was always a wondrous place, frequented by almost all the strong. Overall, it's hard to articulate unless seen with one's own eyes!" Tianshuang recalled and said.

"Then I'll make a trip to the Penglai Ancient Martial World. I hope to gain some rewards and acquire the third piece of the ancient transmission array!" Ye Tianchen nodded resolutely and said.

"Well, another piece of the ancient transmission array is almost certainly in the hands of the Blood Killing Organization within the Penglai Ancient Martial World. Last time, I divined that they should be there!" Tianshuang replied after checking with herself.

Dongfang Meng cast a worried glance at Ye Tianchen and said, "Tianchen, when you go to the Penglai Ancient Martial World, you must be extremely cautious. It's a place unlike the Song Mountain Ancient Martial World or the Heaven Mountain Ancient Martial World, known throughout history as a place of Immortal Islands, filled with power and mystery."

"Yes, the Penglai Ancient Martial World is indeed a very mysterious place, with the names of Penglai Fairy Island and Penglai Fairyland. Not only does it have many mysterious legends in the Ancient Martial World, but similar rumors have never ceased in the Mortal World on Earth. It's a place known for having 'immortals'…" Tianshuang couldn't help but remind him.

"Immortals? I'm not quite convinced. Although martial arts supreme strong can pluck stars, move mountains, and fill seas, there has never been an instance of someone achieving Eternal Life and becoming an Immortal. It must be just a legend!" Ye Tianchen shook his head, speaking.

"No, it could be true. Even if now there are no 'immortals' in the Penglai Ancient Martial World, there must have been 'immortals' there before…"

Tian Boguang approached, looking at Ye Tianchen with earnestness as he spoke.

"Brother Tian, you can't be joking about this, right?" Ye Tianchen asked, taken aback.

"I have limits even when joking. If you're heading to the Penglai Ancient Martial World, I don't dare to make such a joke. You must be extremely careful. The Penglai Ancient Martial World is a land filled with so much mystery, and it is almost entirely isolated from other worlds. Even in the Song Mountain and Heaven Mountain Ancient Martial Worlds, there are few martial artists who can enter the Penglai Ancient Martial World. It's not that they don't want to go, but that they simply can't…" Tian Boguang said, seriously.

"Can't enter?" Dongfang Meng asked with a frown.

"Yes, I remember back when I loved adventure, I once headed to the Penglai Ancient Martial World. But upon reaching the edge of the Penglai Ancient Martial World, I was swept away, barely escaping with my life. Despite having cultivated for such a long time, that was the only time I dared to go, and the memory is still vivid!" Tian Boguang reminisced about his experience going to the Penglai Ancient Martial World, and even now, speaking of it, he felt a bit of fear.

It turns out that about twenty years ago, during a time when Tian Boguang was a martial arts expert in the emerging powers of the three major Ancient Martial Worlds, he was well-regarded, and with his 'Divine Movement Skill' being unrivaled, few could match his pace. Having roamed freely, and being the romantic and lascivious man that he was, after seeing many beauties and flirting with many female martial artists in the Song Mountain Ancient Martial World and Heaven Mountain Ancient Martial World, he naturally thought of the 'Penglai Ancient Martial World' which had been famous since ancient times for its legends and possibly real female fairies.

With such a thought, Tian Boguang set out for the 'Penglai Fairy Island' on the ocean. To people in the Mortal World, finding this 'Penglai Fairy Island' was impossible, no matter how advanced their equipment might be, because just like the Song Mountain and Heaven Mountain Ancient Martial Worlds, the Penglai Ancient Martial World is also hidden by a strong formation. Besides highly skilled martial artists, no mere mortal could find this place. Driven by immense curiosity to see what was special about this place that had the same legends of being an 'Immortal Realm' in both the Ancient Martial and Mortal Worlds, Tian Boguang set out in his twenties, using his Divine Movement Skill to reach there.

The legend of Penglai Fairy Island states that there are three magical mountains in the Bohai Sea: Penglai, Yingzhou State, and Fangzhang, which are homes to immortals. Historically, it has been a place where the First Emperor of Qin and Emperor Han Wu sought immortality and elixirs. The entire landscape is white, with palaces adorned with gold and silver, and trees lush with jeweled branches; the fruits are all flavorful and bestow eternal life if consumed.

The legend of Penglai Fairy Island is widely known even in the Mortal World, but the common people know very little. When Tian Boguang went to the sea to explore the 'Penglai Ancient Martial World', he did not just believe in these legends. Based on certain things passed down in the Ancient Martial World, he went to the sea, drifting and searching for the direction of the Penglai Ancient Martial World using his Divine Movement Skill, manipulating qi to fly over the ocean.

For a full three days and nights, Tian Boguang kept searching without pause and finally found a fairy island—a place wrapped in ethereal immortal mists, full of spiritual energy, but also protected by strong formations. It was utterly serene, devoid of any killing intent, resembling a true fairyland. However, as he stepped on its outskirts, he was abruptly swept away by a force, barely escaping with his form intact, terrified of losing his life on that isolated island in the sea, he returned and dared not easily try again.

"Is it really that mysterious and terrifying?" Dongfang Meng asked in surprise.

"I remember when Master was around, he mentioned to me that the Penglai Ancient Martial World is a wondrous place. Whether in the thriving days of cultivation on Earth or in the remaining three major Ancient Martial Worlds, it has always been a fascinating place, a go-to for nearly all strong beings. In short, there are many things that are hard to express clearly unless witnessed with one's own eyes!" Tianshuang reflected as she spoke.

"Then I will take a journey to the Penglai Ancient Martial World. I hope to gain some insights, acquire the third piece of the ancient transmission array!" Ye Tianchen nodded firmly.

"I'd better go with you as I've been there once. Even finding the location will be easier and won't take too much of your time." Tian Boguang offered.

"No need. The Penglai Ancient Martial World is a fairyland, but I suspect it is also a dangerous place where outsiders are not easily allowed in. I will go alone!" Ye Tianchen shook his head.

"But if I don't go, I can only give you a rough sea area location based on my previous memories…" Tian Boguang said.

"That's enough, Brother Tian. Don't forget that my Divine Thought Perception is powerful, and my Physical Body Power has already reached the Late Stage Martial Saint." Ye Tianchen said, shaking his head.

Ye Tianchen thought for a moment, then with a thought, he forced out another piece of the ancient transmission array from his dantian, looked at Tian Boguang, Tianshuang, and Dongfang Meng, and said to Tianshuang, "Menger already has one piece of the ancient transmission array. I will entrust this piece to you for safekeeping. The pieces of the ancient transmission array are our only means to reach beyond the Martial Arts World and whoever controls the transmission array will be the first to gain the information and resources of the Martial Arts World. We must keep it secure!"

"Yes, don't worry, I will take good care of it!" Tianshuang said, taking the other piece of the ancient transmission array and storing it in her body.

Dongfang Meng looked at Ye Tianchen and thought about something, then said, "Tianchen, as you are going to the 'Penglai Ancient Martial World' for a fight, you must not carry psychological pressure due to me. I will not say goodbye to you tomorrow morning, as the safety of Desolate Stone Village relies on you, and I will try my best to protect it together with the others until you return as soon as possible."
