The three of them, led by Tangyu, flew fleeing all the way and finally managed to escape the pursuit of that Zifu Great Power.

"Phew, that was thrilling. That little Hero City actually had such a formidable Zifu Great Power. Fortunately, we ran fast; otherwise, we would be in big trouble," Pan Chenyu sighed in relief.

Tangyu nodded, "Indeed, it seems Hero City is quite extraordinary. It can host such a Hero Assembly and attract over a hundred geniuses to participate, each a prominent figure in their respective forces. I suppose Hero City must have some glorious history. Wukong, you almost got us into big trouble this time. If you hadn't taken out the Luoyu Order, we wouldn't have been in such a mess. An innocent man will get into trouble because of his wealth."

Sun Wukong scratched his head and grinned, "Old Sun really couldn't bring out any other Treasure, so I casually took out the Luoyu Order. These people are truly mean, daring to rob things from Old Sun."

Tangyu waved his hand, "Forget it, the matter is over. Let's go, directly to Luoyu Palace."

At this moment, the three of them frowned simultaneously. Tangyu glanced outside, only to see an Immortal Boat approaching, and its speed was even faster than theirs. The distance between them was rapidly closing. It was obviously approaching intentionally, which made Tangyu and the other two wary. Could it be that the Zifu Great Power is still pursuing?

But they couldn't sense the aura of that Zifu Great Power, so it logically shouldn't be the case. From this aura, Tangyu didn't feel any hostility.

A figure emerged from the Immortal Boat, standing on the deck. Dressed in elegant white, graceful as jade forests, with an imposing demeanor. Standing there, it seemed to compete in brilliance with the sun, moon, and stars. Extraordinary aura, standing there with just a simple and ordinary action, yet one felt elegance and holiness from him, as if he was naturally superior, exuding nobility from head to toe. Deep down, there was a sense of regal air, somewhat resembling a young sovereign about to rule the world.

Such a presence made Tangyu and the other two furrow their brows, realizing just from this aura that the newcomer was extraordinary. Whether friend or foe was unclear, so the three of them remained vigilant.

The Immortal Boat approached, and the young man on it, about the same age as Tangyu and the others, smiled gracefully, revealing a friendly demeanor, "Friends, no need to be tense; I have no hostility. I was impressed by your bold actions earlier, fighting the Zifu, and couldn't help but want to come up and make acquaintances. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Xuanyuan Wushang, like you, heading to Luoyu Immortal Palace."

Saying this, fearing that Tangyu and the others wouldn't believe him, he moved his hand and indeed displayed a Luoyu Order, indicating he came without ill intent, carrying goodwill.

Seeing this, Tangyu and the other two relaxed somewhat. Tangyu clicked his tongue in a smile, "So we are comrades; we can go together then. But you, sir, have great skills, hiding in the dark all along, and we didn't notice at all. Could it be you're from the Purple Emperor Immortal Sect?"

Pan Chenyu frowned slightly, looking thoughtful, "Xuanyuan Wushang, in our Cultivation World, only the Xuanyuan Holy Land has the Xuanyuan surname; no others dare to bear the Xuanyuan surname. Could it be that you are from Xuanyuan Holy Land?"

Hearing Pan Chenyu's words, Tangyu was startled, too. Xuanyuan Holy Land, though Tangyu didn't know about Xuanyuan Holy Land, he understood what the term Holy Land represented.

The powers in the Cultivation World are divided into four levels. The lowest is third-class power, then second-class power, followed by first-class Immortal Sect, and the highest is Holy Land. The number of Holy Lands in the entire Cultivation World is countable. Each Holy Land is supreme, possessing unmatched Immortal Might, with every word affecting the whole Cultivation World. Holy Lands, since ancient times, have been revered, existing only to be admired.

Thinking of the Holy Land, Tangyu felt an invisible Immortal Might pressing down. In front of a Holy Land, even a first-class Immortal Sect seemed weak. The Holy Land represents the peak strength of the Cultivation World, as well as peak power, controlling the entire Cultivation World's sovereignty.

A person from a Holy Land could traverse the world, and no one would dare challenge them. Just this identity alone was like an invisible mountain pressing on others' hearts.

Xuanyuan Wushang smiled gracefully and nodded, "Indeed, I am from Xuanyuan Holy Land, though just an ordinary clan member, not worth mentioning."

Tangyu clicked his tongue again. Holy Land people are always few, and Holy Lands almost never accept disciples from other surnames. Even if they occasionally do, once absorbed into the Holy Land, one must change their surname to the Holy Land's surname. Ordinary clan members of the Holy Land still have an incredibly high status. But Tangyu was more surprised that the Xuanyuan Clan had such a glorious and formidable history on Earth.

Emperor Xuanyuan was indeed renowned. Moreover, in Earth's Ancient Martial Arts World history, there indeed was an existence of the Xuanyuan Clan. However, Tangyu could confirm that the Cultivation World's Xuanyuan Clan had no connection with Earth's Xuanyuan Clan. From ancient times till now, only Pangu Nuwa and Tangyu's trio left Earth to the Cultivation World; others haven't left Earth, so there is naturally no connection with the Cultivation World.

This is at most just a coincidence.

Tangyu clasped his hands and introduced himself and his two companions one by one, establishing mutual acquaintance. Making friends with someone from a Holy Land obviously had many benefits. Moreover, Tangyu also felt that Xuanyuan Wushang was worth befriending; at least he left a good impression. If someone were arrogant and self-important, Tangyu would not bother with them. Though Xuanyuan Wushang was from a Holy Land, he was not arrogant in the slightest and spoke elegantly and politely, exuding the aura of a learned scholar.

Such a friendly demeanor naturally made people want to be close to him.

Looking at Tangyu, Xuanyuan Wushang said, "I have heard of the legendary Pangu Nine Axes since I was young and have always wanted to witness its might. Today, seeing you, Tangyu, perform the Pangu Nine Axes, it truly is a Supreme Immortal Technique, mightily powerful. Pangu Immortal Venerate is indeed a legendary figure. Speaking of which, there's somewhat of a connection between Pangu Immortal Venerate and my Xuanyuan Holy Land." As he spoke, Xuanyuan Wushang glanced at Pan Chenyu, smiling, "Pan Chenyu, as a descendant of the Pan clan, you should have heard some of this, right?"

Pan Chenyu nodded, "I've heard a bit. In the records of my clan, there are mentions of such matters, though very little, and what I know are only scattered bits and pieces. I can't speak about specifics. I only know that Pangu Immortal Venerate and Xuanyuan Immortal Venerate of the Xuanyuan Holy Land were once on good terms, which means there is some connection."

Xuanyuan Wushang nodded, "Yes, indeed. So, there's somewhat of a familial connection between us. Haha, meeting here today is indeed a form of fate. And—" Xuanyuan Wushang's gaze shifted to Sun Wukong, "Your true form is that of a naturally born spiritual monkey, born from nature's spiritual energy, the essence of the sun and moon, and mystical law; you're a favored child of nature. Heavenly spiritual objects like you are extremely rare, and each can leave a glorious trace in history. It seems you will tread a path of glory as well."

Sun Wukong immediately grinned, "Heh heh, I like what you're saying. This old Sun will undoubtedly have a glorious future. It's just the Immortal Realm—I'll definitely reach it."

Tangyu said, "Xuanyuan Wushang, since we're on the same path, why not come aboard our Immortal Boat for a drink? We'll need a few days for our journey, so we can sip and chat along the way."

Xuanyuan Wushang laughed heartily, "I had the same thought, so I won't stand on ceremony. However, I've also brought some alcohol and refreshments for you to taste."

With that, Xuanyuan Wushang leaped onto Tangyu and his companions' Immortal Boat, putting away his own boat. The four of them returned to the cabin, and with a wave of Xuanyuan Wushang's hand, the table was filled with fine wine and food.

The four people drank and chatted along the way, making time pass quickly, which deepened their friendship significantly, rendering them good friends. True friendship is based on mutual sincerity; once achieved, even a single meeting can make lifelong friends, but without it, even a thousand years together won't create close companions.

This feeling is like love at first sight between a man and a woman. If there's a spark, even a single meeting can lead to deep love. Without it, even sleeping together every night won't produce any feelings. Sometimes, things are just that strange and wonderful.

A few days passed quietly, and then suddenly eyes glanced outside: "We've arrived. Ahead is the Luoyu Immortal Palace. This vast area truly resembles a sea of stars, ethereal like a city of mist, illusionary like an Immortal Realm, exquisite and breathtaking. Let's head out first."

The four of them immediately flew out of the Immortal Boat and put it away.

The mist enveloped them, making the world appear incredibly pale, as if there were no tangible objects. It was immensely vast, giving one the feeling of gazing at a starry sky, with no visible boundary or end. Feet couldn't feel the ground, and eyes couldn't see the sky, making everything feel like entering an illusory world. The multi-colored sunset adorned the place as an otherworldly realm of immortals, incredibly beautiful, leaving one mesmerized. Various magnificent scenes appeared, like mirages.

Water curtain lotus flowers, blossoming mist mirrors.

Xuanyuan Wushang surveyed the surroundings and said, "This is the domain of the Luoyu Immortal Palace. The palace itself is hidden within this area. Without the Luoyu Order's guidance, finding the palace would be impossible, even for someone from the Immortal Realm. Entering here without the Luoyu Order leads to nothing but getting lost and ultimately perishing. We all have the Luoyu Order, so we just need to follow its guidance to find our way to the Luoyu Immortal Palace and enter the palace."

"However, it's said that this area also holds many dangers. Although entering here without the Luoyu Order is a dead end, some extremely ruthless people still risk sneaking in. If they encounter us, they will definitely try to kill us to seize the Luoyu Order. Therefore, reaching the Luoyu Immortal Palace safely isn't an easy task. If we're lucky, the journey might be very smooth without any trouble, letting us reach the palace easily."

"If unlucky, we might continuously encounter maddened individuals attempting to kill us. Many have perished in here."
