Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea?

But this isn't *East Travel Record*. It must be a continuation of a world that I had influenced during a previous crossing.

Back in the Nuogao Record World, I made a pact with Zhengyang An Qi and six others—to stop the Four Sea Dragon Kings from awakening and destroying the world in the future.

Since then, I've crossed through several worlds. Even the *Muu Emperor's Chronicles* and the Qi Land Eight Gods are tied to this legend. Song Lin had long suspected it might involve the tale of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea.

This is the continuation brought about by my karmic effects.

At this thought, Song Lin couldn't help but feel a hint of curiosity.

Logically, that world should have the Queen Mother of the West Divine System. After all, it's the Qi Land Eight Gods' world. And given how many years have passed, there should have been many powerful beings arising by now.

Could it be that the Four Sea Dragon Kings have grown so powerful that even the Kunlun God System cannot contain them?

"Something's off. How did Zhengyang and the others end up in that world? Could it be that the Eight Immortals of this world are not them? Or is the timeline misaligned?"

If we considered the previously related worlds as a Small Thousand World...

The Muu Emperor and Qi Land Eight Gods' timelines were closer to the forefront of my crossings, while the worlds Zhengyang and the others appeared in were likely further back.

In the past, my cultivation was too weak, and I was not qualified to interact with higher entities, so I didn't establish any connection with the Queen Mother of the West.

There's also another possibility—that the Eight Immortals of this world are not Zhengyang and his group but a new set of people I need to guide and enlighten.

Either way, this world definitely has a Heavenly Court, and apart from the Queen Mother of the West, there is also the Jade Emperor.

Perhaps multiple Small Thousand Worlds have intertwined.

In any case, Song Lin was determined to investigate the truth.

At this thought, he shifted his mind into the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea world.

[At sunrise, they visit the North Sea; by twilight, Mount Cangwu. In their sleeves, the Green Snake, bold and unrestrained.]

[World]: Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea – East Travel Record

[Thirty-Six Heavens]: Four Heavenly Kings' Pure Land, Heavenly Realm, Mortal World.

[Time Flow Speed]: 1-to-1 month.

[Arrival]: Spirit

[Category]: Central Plains Myth, Middle Ages Myth, Kunlun Myth, Taoist Myth, Buddhist Myth, Penglai Myth.

[System]: Jade Emperor Divine System, Kunlun God System.

[Karma Effect Cycle]: None.

Song Lin opened his eyes to see the vast ocean stretching before him.

The waves were calm, but hidden currents stirred beneath the surface.

He stood on a towering mountain, situated at the heart of an island. The island was shrouded in mist and clouds, nestled within the vaporous glow of the heavens. Immortal cranes soared gracefully, and the bright red hue of an ascending sun illuminated the area. Pavilions bathed in the hues of a five-colored cloud created the ultimate celestial paradise.

At the mountain's peak stood a single grand hall.

It appeared to be Song Lin's own residence.

Down the mountain, many Taoists were practicing Qi Refinement, their cultivation levels impressive—far surpassing those of the Taoist School from his past world. Among them, tribulation-crossing cultivators practicing Five Qi Chaoyuan were faintly visible.

"Oh? The Eastern King has emerged! The Eastern King has emerged!"

As soon as the disciples caught sight of Song Lin, excitement erupted. Many surrounded him in an instant.

Among the crowd, Song Lin even recognized an old acquaintance—a handsome and heroic man radiating an aura as fervent as the sun.

"Hou Yi, long time no see."

Song Lin smiled.

Hou Yi was accompanied by several familiar faces who were likely disciples he had accepted in the past.

After so many years, Hou Yi had also entered the Primordial Spirit Realm.

"Times have changed. Tell me what's happened over the years."

Song Lin estimated that he had been away for one to two thousand years.

Hou Yi, once an emperor, had become Penglai's leader, holding considerable prestige. By Hou Yi's side stood a goddess-like woman who was likely the Queen Mother of the West's disciple, Yaocchi.

"Allow me to explain."

The sky suddenly brightened, and a woman's warm smile greeted him.

A lotus throne manifested out of thin air, radiating platinum dharma light. Her jade-like complexion glowed like the moon, a radiance emanated from her crown—a Nine Yin Crown adorned her head. She wore an ethereal Morning Essence Robe and a multicolored Li Luo shawl. Sitting atop the lotus, her eyes exuded mystique and her presence transcendent.

Who else could it be if not the Queen Mother of the West?

The Queen Mother dismissed her dharma image, transforming into a charming and playful young girl.

"Simply put, the Dragon King awakened sooner than expected, bringing with him followers from the Four Heavenly Kings Heaven of the Buddhist Sect, as well as immortals from the Jade Emperor's Heavenly Court."

More than two millennia had passed. In that time, the Queen Mother had refined the Great Dao left by the Eight Gods, pushing her cultivation to the Harmonization Peak, just half a step away from the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

In other words, she was on the brink of surpassing the level of a Small Thousand World.

"So three Small Thousand Worlds are connected now?"

"Correct. This is also called the Three Realms. Currently, their nominal ruler is the Jade Emperor. The Independent Immortals are led by the Eastern King and myself, while the Buddhist Sect is headed by the White Dragon Guanyin."

"The Jade Emperor?"

Song Lin had never imagined that the situation would be far more complicated than he expected. The Dragon King's early awakening not only brought the Buddhist Sect but also caught the attention of the Heavenly Court for reasons unknown.

"The Jade Emperor here is the Shenxiao Jade Emperor. Oh, and by the way, the Heavenly Court seems to have once granted you a divine title: Pure Yang Venerate, Donghua Emperor. But the Jade Emperor has since revoked it."

"This…"

Wasn't this just the *Mixed Play Journey to the West* world? That damn Jade Emperor—Song Lin felt an urge to beat him up again. Internally, he roared with frustration.

It seemed that Zhengyang and the others from this world originally came from here.

If his guess was correct, Erlang God, Sun Wukong the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, the Golden Cauldron True Man, and Lishan Mother might also be present somewhere.

"What exactly happened? Tell me in detail."

Song Lin recalled how he had bullied this Jade Emperor so thoroughly back in the day that the latter even dared not utter a single complaint in his presence.

"The Jade Emperor, with help from the Four Sea Dragon Kings and White Dragon Guanyin, defeated Lishan Mother and the Golden Cauldron. He annexed the Pure Yang Dao, banished Zhengyang and his followers to the Mortal World, and personally achieved the Half-step Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit."

"The current power structure comprises the Mortal World Kunlun, the Heavenly Realm Heavenly Court, and the Pure Land."

After the Heavenly Court invaded this realm, they annexed most of the lands into Kunlun's Small Thousand World, transferred mortals here, concentrated the land's essence and Qi in the Heavenly Court, and stationed the Four Sea Dragon Kings as guardians of the four directions.

The original Heavenly Court World became the Heavenly Realm.

The Heavenly Court, led by the Jade Emperor, and the Buddhist Sect, led by White Dragon Guanyin, were both forces to be reckoned with.

Unable to resist, Kunlun's forces had no choice but to submit to the Heavenly Court, declaring themselves its subsidiary and relegating themselves to the so-called Mortal World.

"This is the current predicament of the Kunlun Heavenly Court."

After Song Lin left, the Queen Mother discovered a fatal flaw. Without the Eight Gods, this Heavenly Court was incomplete. Moreover, after losing Song Lin, the Acquired Immortals could not uphold their responsibilities. The Kunlun God System was like a disabled person without legs.

With her own Innate Divine Being strength, she could barely maintain the Dao Lineage.

She had been waiting for Song Lin's return to discuss possible solutions together.

"Let me think."

The White Dragon Guanyin wasn't the real Guanyin but one of her myriad dharma images. Similarly, the Shenxiao Jade Emperor wasn't the true Jade Emperor but a native Innate Divine Being born within this Small Thousand World.

Each of these three factions was likely scheming to achieve Heavenly Immortal status, transcend the Small Thousand World, and advance toward claiming the Medium Thousand's Ten Thousand Realms Heavenly Court.

Kunlun's primary enemies were undoubtedly the Jade Emperor and the Buddhist Sect.

"To stand against them, we must first strengthen ourselves without drawing overt attention. The loss of the Eight Gods leaves this Heavenly Court incomplete. Without strong Acquired Immortals as pillars, Kunlun Heavenly Court is crippled. Thus…"

"Thus what?"

The Queen Mother blinked her eyes curiously.

Her mind wasn't particularly sharp. Faced with unprecedented challenges after Song Lin's departure, she hadn't been able to devise solutions for years.

"These two issues can actually be solved as one—use Acquired Immortals to inherit the roles of the Eight Gods." Song Lin grinned mysteriously. "Don't act prematurely, and don't reveal that the Eastern King has emerged. I'll personally descend to the Mortal World to find a few candidates."

In the past, he had held the power of a court minister, leaving the Jade Emperor powerless against him. If this guy learned of his return, he might immediately send forces to crush Kunlun.

And solving Kunlun's predicament was actually quite simple.

They would replace the Eight Gods with the Eight Immortals, gather them all, kill the Four Sea Dragon Kings to seize control of the Mortal World, and then launch an assault on the Heavenly Court.
