It is not difficult to guess that Xianxia Island is planning to escape from the world. After all, as a famous immortal sect, Xianxia Island has hardly had any news in the world since the last Xianyou Conference. It is also difficult to meet cultivators from Xianxia Island outside.
Although Zhu Tingtao did not directly admit it, he did not refute Ji Yuan's previous words. When he took Ji Yuan to Xianxia Island, he even mentioned it vaguely.
"But you have come at a very good time, sir. There is a grand event happening on Xianxia Island these past two days. If you can come, everyone in the sect will be delighted!"
"A grand event?"
"Yes, Mr. Ji will know when he goes there."
Ji Yuan was a little surprised. It was true that he had a good relationship with Zhu Tingtao, and it was also true that he had helped Xianxia Island before. However, he came to Xianxia Island, especially with a purpose. At most, Xianxia Island would treat him with respect and courtesy. It would be an exaggeration for the whole sect to be so happy, right
But there was no time to waste, because they soon arrived near Xianxia Island. After breaking through the heavy fog, the whole Xianxia Island was shrouded in a brilliant glow. The glow was not dazzling, but it made the whole island look colorful.
"Mr. Ji, please follow me to the island."
Ji Yuan followed Zhu Tingtao closely and found that when they went to the island, they did not have the same feeling of passing through restrictions as the ordinary immortal sects did. They landed smoothly on the Xianxia Island just under the shining rays of light.
Suddenly, the vision became clear. The surroundings were clearly blocked by fog, but looking out from the island, one could see through the fog. Haziness and clarity coexisted.
Xianxia Island did not look very big in the fog outside, but after entering the Xiaguang Array, the island became very large, and the edge of the island did not appear at the end of the sight.
The entire Xianxia Island is basically inhabited by cultivators, with no mortals. The island is a mountainous area, and Ji Yuan saw many towering sycamore trees rising from the ground. However, the magnificent Xianxia Island does not seem to be located in a cave.
However, Ji Yuan found that Xianxia Island was not as welcoming to him as Zhu Tingtao said. Apart from Zhu Tingtao, he only met a few cultivators when he flew into the island. As they flew slowly on the wind, no one even looked at them.
Ji Yuan was happy to be left alone about this, as it was obvious that Zhu Tingtao had concealed the fact that he came to Xianxia Island. Of course, it was also possible that he had hurried here after receiving the talisman and had no time to inform the public, but this possibility was not high.
Sure enough, after flying for a while after entering the island, Zhu Tingtao and Ji Yuan got straight to the point.
"Mr. Ji, in fact, I did not inform the headmaster of your coming to the island, nor did I tell anyone else. I even felt the arrival of the guiding talisman that I gave to you that year, and I was able to hide its brilliance and come out alone to take you to the island."
"Oh? Why is that?"
Ji Yuan asked himself that he now had a certain reputation in the cultivation circles and had a good relationship with Xianxia Island. It was unlikely that the other party would attack him if he came. Moreover, although he knew that there were problematic cultivators in Xianxia Island, the other party was not too hostile to him, so he could at least pretend.
Zhu Tingtao looked at Ji Yuan and said apologetically.
"Mr. Ji, Xianxia Island is about to move to Wutong Island. If I had informed the headmaster just now, he would have refused you permission to go to the island. The matter is urgent, so I can only act first and report later. I hope you will forgive me..."
Ji Yuan understood why Zhu Tingtao apologized to him. It was not because he was impolite, but because he was afraid that Zhu Tingtao would not go to Xianxia Island after hearing that it was going to be relocated. Now that he has come, the relocation might delay other things.
"Xianxia Island has started to move?"
"To be honest, the sir had already started moving when he arrived. I would like to ask sir to accompany him!"
Zhu Tingtao couldn't force anything after all. He already felt guilty for bringing Ji Yuan to the island first. Now that Ji Yuan wanted to leave, he obviously wouldn't stop him.
"What are you talking about, Taoist Zhu? Since you have a request, as a friend, I will do my best. Please tell me clearly what you need my help with."
Zhu Tingtao was delighted and quickly took Ji Yuan to fly to an area covered with trees below. Finally, they landed beside a pool in the mountains. There was a coffee table and a cushion there, and no one was around. It was obviously Zhu Tingtao's place.
"Mr. Ji, our Xianxia Island will reach Wutong Island faster than you think. Before that, please listen to my explanation of the request."
Zhu Tingtao no longer hid anything from Ji Yuan and told him everything that was on his mind.
It turned out that Xianxia Island was indeed considering retreating from the world, but not only because it had sensed a crisis in heaven and earth or some messages sent by Tianji Pavilion to various sects, but also because Xianxia Island was about to enter its own period of decline.
In the way of immortals, some things are indeed mysterious, such as Xianxia Island, which can sense one's own luck, and there are some unique things that affect them. This period of weakness is by no means groundless.
In addition to the fortune of the immortal gate, the fortune of Xianxia Island is also closely related to a divine object, that is the divine bird Phoenix. The glow of Xianxia Island also symbolizes the glow of the Phoenix.
Xianxia Island actually originated from Wutong Island. The mythical bird Phoenix is extremely mysterious and has inhabited Xianxia Island and Wutong Island all year round. There are many old Wutong trees on Xianxia Island and Wutong Island.
If the monks of Xianxia Island can have the scattered feathers of the phoenix to help them in each critical stage of their practice, it will be twice the result with half the effort. At the same time, the phoenix is also an important support for Xianxia Island. The old phoenix regards the monks of Xianxia Island as fellow Taoists who complement each other. We do our best to protect the phoenix, and she also regards the monks of Xianxia Island as her descendants and children. Xianxia Island will not sit idly by when something happens.
After the last Xianyou Conference, something seemed to have happened to the Phoenix, the sacred bird of Xianxia Island. The entire Xianxia Island was extremely nervous, but at least it did not get worse.
The Phoenix has been on Wutong Island in recent years. A few days ago, some masters on Xianxia Island suddenly felt the decline of the Phoenix's aura. Even some masters who were in seclusion were awakened from their seclusion. Some even dreamed that the Phoenix's divine light was dissipating, and then no one could sense the Phoenix's aura anymore.
Now, most of the people on Xianxia Island who knew about the situation were in a panic. Everyone on Xianxia Island unanimously decided to escape from the island and move back to Wutongzhou at all costs.
These things were things that had never been heard of in the cultivation world and could be considered the secrets of Xianxia Island. Ji Yuan was shocked when he heard them and couldn't help but ask.
"Fellow Daoist Zhu, can you really tell such shocking remarks to an outsider?"
Zhu Tingtao sighed.
“Of course not. This has violated the sect rules. But you, Mr. Ji, are not an ordinary person. I heard that your musical attainments are the best in the world, and your song ‘Phoenix Seeking Phoenix’ is enough to enchant everyone. I hope that if we can’t find the phoenix, you can use this song to help us. The key is that since you can compose this song, you must have a good understanding of the phoenix… To be honest, just two days ago, I proposed to the headmaster to invite you, but it was rejected by the rest of the sect. I was really angry!”
Zhu Tingtao said this and looked at Ji Yuandao.
"But God has opened His eyes. Mr. Ji, you are visiting at this time. How can it not be God's will?"
"Alright, alright, fellow Daoist..."
Ji Yuan smiled bitterly.
"You can play 'The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix', but you are acting first and reporting later. If Ji shows up, Xianxia Island will see an outsider like me who is in touch with the secrets. They might not let me off easily..."
Xianxia Island had kept the secret for so many years, and Ji Yuan just found out about it. The key point was that he understood one thing: there was probably only one divine bird, the Phoenix, in the world, and Xianxia Island had been protecting this Phoenix.
Okay, now Ji Yuan also knows, Zhu Tingtao trusts him, but what about others
"Don't worry, Mr. Ji. You are my friend, Zhu Tingtao. If anyone dares to harm you, I will fight to the death to protect you."
What could Ji Yuan say? He was just stunned when he heard about this. After understanding the situation, if he was asked to make a choice, he would still face the same situation. Moreover, the cultivators from Xianxia Island might not be able to do anything to him. If there was really a problem, there would be a Xiezhi to worry about, not to mention Zhu Tingtao. Ji Yuan also didn't believe that Zhu Tingtao was alone on Xianxia Island.
But Ji Yuan also had worries, not about his own safety, but about the Phoenix. There were "dirty" people on Xianxia Island, and it was hard to say if there was something fishy about the Phoenix. After all, this was a divine bird that had lived for an unknown period of time. There was always a legend that the blood of the Phoenix could turn decay into magic, and it was called the "hot-blooded spiritual root."
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
The originally peaceful Xianxia Island suddenly began to shake, and ripples appeared in the pools beside Ji Yuan and Zhu Tingtao.
"Mr. Ji, we have arrived at Wutong Island."
So fast? Ji Yuan had just heard from Zhu Tingtao that Xianxia Island had set up a large formation on Wutong Island, and even spared no expense to use great mana to teleport the entire Xianxia Island. Ji Yuan couldn't imagine how much this method would consume, and how it was done. He didn't expect that it would take a flying boat several months to cross the distance in just a moment.
"Fellow Daoist Zhu, I have a feeling that this divine bird Phoenix is not just a matter of whether or not to find it. There will be another wave of trouble in Xianxia Island."
Ji Yuan suddenly said this, which made Zhu Tingtao slightly stunned.
