The Crescent Cloud Island!
The Crescent Cloud Island floated in the sky all year round, which was why it was called a cloud island. Even in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, this kind of island was rather magical. Generally speaking, there were only two possibilities for an island to float in the sky. One was that it was made by humans, and the other was that it was naturally formed.
If it was made by humans, maintaining such a large-scale floating stratagem would definitely consume a lot of resources. Even some of the super large sects in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm would not be so extravagant because there was no need.
The Crescent Cloud Island of the Crescent Merchant Guild was a naturally formed floating island. There was a natural divine stratagem around the island that contained the power of the gods and ghosts of heaven and earth. In the Ancient Age, this was the headquarters of the Crescent Merchant Guild, and it had been there ever since.
At noon, a silhouette dressed in white appeared around the Crescent Cloud Island and slowly flew towards the island.
"The rules of heaven and earth here are rather strange."
Mo Wen narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the Crescent Cloud Island in the distance with interest. As he flew into the area ten thousand miles around the Crescent Cloud Island, he discovered that the rules of heaven and earth here had slight changes. The closer he got to the island, the stronger the changes.
If an immortal cultivator changed the rules of heaven and earth within ten thousand miles, even a Path Integration Realm old monster would find it difficult to do so. The environment here was most likely formed naturally.
The closer he got to the Crescent Cloud Island, the slower his flying speed became. The interference of the rules of heaven and earth became stronger. When he was a thousand miles away from the island, Mo Wen's speed actually dropped to the level of a Tide Changing Realm immortal cultivator. If it was an ordinary Supreme Profundity Realm immortal cultivator flying this far, it would already be very good if they could compare to some Qi Hai Realm ancient martial art practitioners.
"The Crescent Cloud Island is indeed strange. With this natural stratagem, it can most likely block some ordinary Divine Illusionary Realm immortal cultivators."
Mo Wen narrowed his eyes slightly. He had never underestimated the Crescent Merchant Guild, but he was still somewhat surprised that an island was so extraordinary. No wonder the Crescent Merchant Guild dared to take in people from the Sinister Wind Sect even though they knew that he could kill a fifth level evil clan member.
…
On the Crescent Cloud Island, an alarm suddenly sounded in a great hall responsible for monitoring the entire island. More than ten crystals in the great hall all lit up with a red light.
"Outsiders are approaching the cloud island."
Soon, all the cultivators in the hall were alarmed. A red-haired old man strode over, followed by more than ten cultivators.
"Check what's going on."
When a cultivator heard this, he immediately activated a crystal wall in the north of the main hall. The crystal wall was surrounded by spiritual energy and lit up. Soon, an image appeared on it.
On the screen, there was a youth flying above the white clouds, gradually approaching the Crescent Cloud Island.
"This person is less than five hundred miles away from the island. How did he do it?"
The red-haired elder's face was filled with shock. If one did not have the token specially made by the Skewed Moon Chamber of Commerce, they would be obstructed by the laws of heaven and earth even if they approached the cloud island. Even ordinary Supreme Profundity Realm immortal cultivators would not be able to fly to the cloud island with their own abilities. Just this point alone made the Crescent Cloud Island impregnable, and it had not experienced the flames of war for over ten thousand years.
"It's him!"
The pupils of the other elder shrank. He quickly recognized that the youth in the image was Mo Wen. The young man who had attracted a lot of attention in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm and then disappeared for a hundred years.
"He really dared to come to our Crescent Cloud Island. Is he not afraid of death?" The red-haired elder laughed coldly. So it was this youth. No wonder!
A hundred years ago, the Crescent Moon Chamber of Commerce deliberately protected the Sinister Wind Sect. All the sects in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm knew about it. Since then, Mo Wen had disappeared for a hundred years. They thought that Mo Wen was afraid of the Crescent Moon Chamber of Commerce and had retreated.
Not only did the Crescent Moon Chamber of Commerce think so, but most of the sects in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm thought so as well. After all, the Crescent Moon Chamber of Commerce was an ancient sect, and it was rich and powerful. The Crescent Cloud Island was also a treasure island that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. If it were anyone else, they would most likely retreat. Such a choice was understandable. It was not that Mo Wen was afraid, but that the Crescent Moon Chamber of Commerce was too powerful.
"Quickly report to the guild leader," the red-haired elder said with a cold expression.
The moment Mo Wen appeared, he knew that something was about to happen. This youth could kill a fifth rank member of the Evil Clan. His cultivation must be earth-shattering. Ordinary Divine Illusionary Realm cultivators were far from being his match.
However, the red-haired elder was not afraid. The Crescent Moon Chamber of Commerce had existed for many years since the ancient times. It was not something that a mere person could shake. Attacking the Crescent Moon Cloud Island was no different from seeking death.
Mo Wen calmly looked at the Crescent Moon Cloud Island, which was getting closer and closer. He was not in a hurry and did not unleash his full speed. Instead, he walked step by step towards the island. A mere natural change in the rules of heaven and earth would not be able to stop him.
When he was ten miles away from the Crescent Moon Cloud Island, a brilliant light suddenly shot up into the sky, instantly enveloping the entire island. The light screen that shone down was like mercury, shining brightly.
On the cloud island, many people looked at the sky in shock. The island's protective stratagem had actually been activated! Many of the older immortal cultivators had forgotten when was the last time the island's protective stratagem had been activated. It was very likely that this was the first time in their lives that they had seen the island's protective stratagem activated.
Because of the peculiar rules of heaven and earth, the cloud island usually did not need the island's protective stratagem at all. This natural screen was enough to stop all the immortal cultivators in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. The Crescent Moon Cloud Island activating the island's protective stratagem was truly a rare occurrence in 100,000 years.
The cloud island was very large. There were mountains, rivers, and even lakes. The island was enshrouded in spiritual energy, with birds chirping and flowers fragrant. There was even a very thin layer of Vital Qi floating in the air. Vital Qi was almost extinct in many areas of the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. Places with Vital Qi were undoubtedly sacred places for cultivation.
In the center of the cloud island, there was a huge city. This city was called Crescent City. It was large, occupied a vast area, and the prosperity of the city was no less than that of Dekun City.
Right now, on the tallest tower in the city stood seven or eight silhouettes. The person in the lead was a middle-aged man dressed in a golden robe. This person was the guild leader of the Crescent Moon Chamber of Commerce, Fu Jingyun.
Back in the day, Fu Jingyun had been an exceptional genius in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. Few of his peers could rival him. Even many immortal cultivators of the older generation had been defeated by his hands. It could be said that his name had shaken the world and led an era.
Ever since he became the guild leader of the Crescent Moon Chamber of Commerce, he had lived in seclusion. For 10,000 years, he had rarely appeared in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. Now, no one knew what level his cultivation had reached.
"Guild leader, provoking such an exceptional genius for a mere Sinister Wind Sect is not in line with the concept of profit for us merchants."
At the top of the tower, an elder in a white robe said with a slight frown. The Sinister Wind Sect's value was limited. In the eyes of the huge Crescent Moon Chamber of Commerce, it was just a small sect that did not matter. It was indeed not worth it to offend a Divine Illusionary Realm immortal cultivator with unlimited potential for such a sect.
Didn't they see that those ancient sects did not take in the Sinister Wind Sect? It was because the Sinister Wind Sect's value was too low. It was not worthy of their protection. The Crescent Moon Chamber of Commerce had always placed profit above all else. It was surprising that they would do such a thing.
The elder in the white robe had a high status. He was an elder of the Crescent Moon Chamber of Commerce. He was clearly very displeased with the guild leader's actions.
"Jingyun, this is indeed a little rash. Although our Crescent Moon Chamber of Commerce is huge, we should not make enemies everywhere," another elder in a black robe said plainly.
The other black-robed old man said calmly. He clearly thought that Fu Jingyun had been a little reckless in this matter.
However, Fu Jingyun did not think so. He said plainly, "A junior stirring up trouble in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm is a little too arrogant. If we, the ancient sects, do not do anything, then wouldn't Mo Wen think that we, the ancient sects, are afraid of him? Others are not prepared to protect the dignity and face of the ancient sects, but I cannot sit back and do nothing. "
If he wanted to blame someone, he could only blame Mo Wen for being too arrogant recently. If he did not teach him a lesson, he would most likely not even know who he was. He protected the Sinister Wind Sect not because the Sinister Wind Sect had any value, but because of a very simple reason. He simply did not like Mo Wen.
Upon hearing this, the elder in the white robe and the elder in the black robe sighed slightly. Ever since Fu Jingyun became the guild leader of the Crescent Moon Chamber of Commerce, he had lived in seclusion and rarely showed his face. However, the arrogance in his heart had most likely never diminished. As the top absolute genius in the past, he naturally could not bear to see a later stage junior like Mo Wen overshadow him.
In particular, many sects in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm said that Mo Wen was the most talented immortal cultivator in the Source World in the past million years. If he was the most talented, then wouldn't Fu Jingyun, who had been first in the past, become second?
"Jing Yun's words make sense. Our ancient sects have the dignity of ancient sects. Not just anyone can challenge us. Even though Mo Wen has yet to affect the interests of our ancient sects, if the situation continues to develop, he will sooner or later come into conflict with our ancient sects," Jing Yun said with a smile.
"That makes sense. I also think that we should suppress his arrogance. Young people always like to be arrogant."
The other elders supported Fu Jingyun's point of view. It was not necessarily a good thing for a young person to be in the limelight too much.
"Old Xue and Old Yao, don't worry. With that junior's ability, he most likely cannot even break the protective shield of the Crescent Moon Cloud Island. With the Crescent Moon Cloud Island's stratagem, we can easily kill him.
Fu Jingyun laughed coldly and said with extreme confidence.
The island's protective stratagem on the Crescent Moon Cloud Island was personally set up by an ancient powerful cultivator. It was one of the most powerful ancient stratagems in the entire Peng Lai Immortal Realm. With the passage of time, these ancient stratagems had been eroded over time and their power was far from what it used to be. The Crescent Moon Chamber of Commerce did not have enough resources to activate the full power of the stratagem. However, even half of its power was no problem dealing with a mere Divine Illusionary Realm immortal cultivator.
Fu Jingyun crossed his arms, looking as if he was waiting to watch a good show. He was very curious about the expression on the face of this youth who was known as the top genius in a million years if he could not even break the island's protective stratagem.
