Chapter 589 Offering Itself
Upon hearing this, Dong Wanggong was already drooling with desire.
He was just worried about not finding a suitable place to practice his skills, and Yingzhou Island was simply tailor-made for him!
Seeing that the Eastern King Duke had taken the bait, Chang Er Ding Guang Xian was secretly delighted and continued to embellish the story: "The island is covered with spiritual fruits and immortal herbs, and there are countless innate spiritual roots, including a top-grade innate spiritual root, the Immortal Apricot! It is definitely a rare blessed land!"
"Lead the way!" Seeing Ding Guangxian hesitate, Dongwanggong immediately promised, "Don't worry, once I seize Yingzhou Island, I will not forget you!"
Chang Er Ding Guangxian was overjoyed and quickly bowed in gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Senior! Thank you, Senior!"
He could almost see Chu Yang being killed by the Eastern King Duke, and the many innate spiritual roots on Yingzhou Island falling into his hands, and his heart was filled with the pleasure of revenge.
Pointing in a direction, Dongwanggong saw this and did not linger. He transformed into a streak of purple light and flew in the direction Dingguangxian had indicated.
Dongwanggong believed that his strength far surpassed that of Dingguangxian, and with a top-grade innate spiritual treasure in his possession, he was not afraid that Dingguangxian, who was at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, might have set some kind of trap.
Meanwhile, the long-eared Dingguangxian trailed far behind, a sinister smile on his face.
"Hmph, Junior Brother Xiao Lei, I've invited a powerful expert for you! If you know what's good for you, hand over Yingzhou Island and my Void Pearl, or you're doomed!"
Dingguang Xian wasn't afraid that Chu Yang would escape this calamity. He didn't directly show up, so even if Chu Yang guessed that it was him, it wouldn't matter!
Anyway, since it's officially Dongwanggong's doing, we can just push everything onto him!
On Yingzhou Island, Chu Yang was sitting cross-legged under a giant apricot tree, cultivating.
Suddenly, he felt something, opened his eyes abruptly, and looked up at the sky.
A streak of purple light streaked across the sky, hurtling rapidly toward Yingzhou Island.
Yingzhou Island's terrain was concealed by the formation at this time. From a distance, it looked no different from the vast sea. If one had not been here before, there would be no way of knowing that this was Yingzhou Island.
The purple light lingered above Yingzhou Island, seemingly searching for something.
Chu Yang sat cross-legged under the Immortal Apricot Tree, his body surrounded by spiritual energy. After sensing a considerable commotion, he calculated with his fingers and a cold smile appeared on his lips: "It was actually the commotion caused by the top-grade dragon-headed cane! Long-eared Dingguang Immortal, you fool, you really dared to do that."
Judging from the aura of the powerful figure within the purple light, he was clearly a quasi-saint. Moreover, Chu Yang also sensed the power of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. Based on its shape, Chu Yang quickly guessed that it was a powerful figure.
That's the Eastern King Duke!
Then, Chu Yang waved his sleeve, and a corner of the maze of Yingzhou Island was revealed. Dense spiritual energy surged out like a volcanic eruption, mixed with bursts of celestial music, which was captivating.
Before long, a purple light pierced through the sky, and it was none other than the leader of the primordial male immortals, the Eastern King Duke.
He gazed greedily at the island below, which was barely visible, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets: "It really is Yingzhou Island, one of the Three Immortal Islands! What a wonderful place! What a wonderful place! This blessed land should rightfully belong to me!"
A small gap appeared before him, and it was because of this gap that he was able to sense the existence of Yingzhou Island.
"Yingzhou Island is one of the Three Immortal Islands, and it has always been unclaimed. Today, I will enter and become the new master of Yingzhou Island!"
Relying on his superior skills and daring, Dong Wanggong was extremely confident in himself.
"According to Chang'er Dingguang Xian, this island is occupied by a demonic beast that is a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Today, I will rid it of it!"
The demon race had declined, so the Eastern King Duke did not take a demon beast of the Great Luo level seriously.
Through the gap, he locked onto the powerful "demonic beast" below. He mistook Chu Yang for the demonic beast in human form and guessed that the Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal of the Jie Sect had not lied to him after all.
He thought to himself, "This beast must be guarding the immortal island. If I kill it, the island will be mine!"
Without further ado, Dong Wanggong entered through the gap and immediately summoned his companion spirit treasure, the dragon-headed cane, and slammed it down hard on Chu Yang.
The cane carried an earth-shattering power, as if it were about to smash the entire island to pieces.
Seeing this, Chu Yang pretended to be terrified, let out a strange cry, and turned to run away.
As he ran, he kept turning back to provoke, just like an enraged wild beast.
The Eastern King Duke had never been provoked like this before. He roared, "You beast, where do you think you're going!"
He pursued relentlessly, wielding his dragon-headed cane with ferocious force, smashing the exotic flowers and plants along the way to pieces, completely disregarding the preciousness of this fairy island.
Chu Yang deliberately led him to the depths of Yingzhou Island, where a series of deadly traps had already been laid.
The Eastern King Prince pursued them all the way, captivated by the island's beautiful scenery, completely unaware of the impending danger.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Chu Yang stopped and a sly smile appeared on his lips.
He made hand seals and chanted incantations, instantly activating the pre-arranged formation.
Countless golden rays surged from the ground, weaving into a massive golden net that firmly trapped the Eastern King Duke.
Caught off guard, Dongwanggong crashed headfirst into the net, seeing stars and yelling furiously, "You damned beast, how dare you ambush me!"
He brandished his dragon-headed cane, frantically attacking the formation, only to find it indestructible; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't budge it an inch.
"This... how is this possible?" Dong Wanggong was shocked, only then realizing that he had kicked a hornet's nest.
He originally thought it was just a demon beast at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, which he could easily crush. He never expected that the other party would be so cunning and set up such a powerful formation.
Chu Yang, meanwhile, stood leisurely outside the formation, arms crossed, watching him with a half-smile, his eyes full of mockery: "Duke Dongwang, you've finally met your match? How does it feel?"
The Eastern King Duke's face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Who exactly are you? Why did you try to ambush me?"
Chu Yang laughed loudly, his laughter filled with sarcasm: "Who am I? Don't you know very well? Didn't your dog, Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal, tell you?"
Upon hearing the words "Long-Eared Immortal Dingguang," Dongwanggong suddenly realized what was going on, and a surge of anger welled up within him. He roared, "You Long-Eared Immortal Dingguang, how dare you deceive me!"
Chu Yang sneered, "Now you realize you've been tricked? Too late! You can reflect on your actions here in this formation! My formations have reached a bottleneck, and I was just looking for a strong expert to test them out, but I didn't expect you to come!"
After saying this, Chu Yang turned and left, leaving only the Eastern King Duke roaring angrily within the formation, unable to break through it for the time being.
Chu Yang didn't care much about the powerful Dongwanggong, a figure from the primordial era.
He lacks the strength to become the leader of male immortals, yet he spends all his time thinking about how to unify the prehistoric world. You should know that there are quite a few people in the prehistoric world who are stronger than him!
The roar of the Eastern King echoed across Yingzhou Island, yet it did not shake the formation set up by Chu Yang in the slightest.
Chu Yang's island-protecting formation was originally an innate formation, but it was damaged from the inside by Yuan Tu, the Chaos Demon God, causing a slight flaw in the formation. However, after Chu Yang refined the stone tablet, he repaired and perfected that flaw.
Later, he even incorporated his own Small Universe Formation into it.
As time went on, the power of this formation became even stronger. With Chu Yang's current strength, he could still trap a Quasi-Saint for a short time!
Several days later, the sky above Yingzhou Island changed dramatically. A powerful aura emanated from the depths of the island, causing the surrounding seawater to churn.
Chu Yang sat cross-legged atop the island's highest peak, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Finally coming out, huh? I thought you were going to spend your old age and die in there!"
Within the formation, the Eastern King Duke, with disheveled hair and tattered clothes, no longer possessed any of the majesty of a celestial leader.
His once handsome face was now twisted and ferocious, his eyes bloodshot, as he attacked the formation like a trapped beast.
"Damn formation! Damn beasts!"
The Eastern King Lord roared repeatedly. As the head of all male immortals, he had been trapped in this small formation for several days. This was an utter disgrace!
What infuriated him even more was that the formation kept changing. He finally found a flaw, but it changed again the next moment, leaving him powerless.
This is the wonder of incorporating the myriad transformations of the Small Universe Formation; one moment it's a killing formation, the next a trapping formation, and then an illusion formation.
Chu Yang watched with great interest as the Eastern King Duke struggled within the formation, occasionally adjusting it and adding new spatial law runes to make the formation even more mysterious and unpredictable.
At the same time, Chu Yang also sent out a wisp of his divine sense to keep an eye on the movements of Chang Er Ding Guang Xian.
Sure enough, this fellow lingered outside Yingzhou Island, anxiously awaiting news from the Eastern King like a stray dog.
Chu Yang sneered inwardly, deciding to turn the tables and use the conflict between Dong Wang Gong and Chang Er Ding Guangxian to kill two birds with one stone.
He secretly manipulated the formation, leaking a trace of Dong Wanggong's aura, causing Chang Er Dingguangxian to mistakenly believe that Dong Wanggong had escaped.
Sure enough, after sensing the aura of the Eastern King Duke, the Long-Eared Immortal was overjoyed and rushed into Yingzhou Island.
As he flew, he shouted excitedly, "Lord Dongwanggong, you've finally come out! Your subordinate has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Chu Yang secretly manipulated the formation, luring Chang Er Ding Guang Xian into it.
Before Chang Er Ding Guang Xian could react, he crashed headfirst into the formation and had a "close encounter" with Dong Wang Gong.
"Long-eared Dingguang Immortal? It's you! How dare you scheme against me!" Upon seeing Long-eared Dingguang Immortal, Dongwanggong was instantly enraged and swung his dragon-headed cane at him.
Chang Er Ding Guangxian was completely bewildered. Before he could figure out what was going on, he was beaten black and blue by Dong Wang Gong.
If it weren't for the fact that he was a disciple of a sage, the Eastern King Duke would have killed him on the spot!
"Senior Dongwanggong, what are you doing? When did I ever plot against you?" Chang'er Dingguangxian asked with a puzzled look, and continued, "I only stopped by because I was worried that you might have encountered some danger on the island since you hadn't returned yet. I had absolutely no intention of plotting against you!"
Long-eared Dingguangxian covered her swollen cheeks, her nose and tears a mess, looking just like a wronged little wife.
"Nonsense! My being trapped here is surely the work of you, you traitor! Tell me, who is controlling this formation?"
The Eastern King glared angrily and swung his dragon-headed staff down again, striking Chang Er Ding Guangxian on the forehead.
If this guy hadn't run fast, he probably would have ended up with his brains splattered.
"Senior! I'm innocent! I really came to find you a cave dwelling! Look, I even prepared a gift!"
With a bruised and swollen face, Chang Er Ding Guang Xian pulled a withered Ganoderma lucidum from his sleeve and presented it to Dong Wang Gong as if it were a treasure.
Dongwanggong swung his cane, knocking the lingzhi mushroom away, and roared, "Bullshit! Who do you take me for? This kind of junk is worthy of being a congratulatory gift? You're clearly trying to humiliate me!"
"Oh my goodness! This is a ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum! I went through so much trouble to find it!"
Long-eared Dingguangxian picked up the Ganoderma lucidum with heartache, blew off the dust, and carefully put it back in his bosom.
Dongwanggong slapped his hand away and said viciously, "Get out! Don't touch me with your filthy thing!"
The two fought like dogs inside the formation, while Chu Yang watched with great interest from outside, occasionally changing the formation's shape.
One moment it turned into a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, the next into a frozen wasteland, and then into a bottomless abyss, tormenting the two of them to the point of near death.
Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal was already covered in wounds and on the verge of death. Dongwanggong was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore and focused on studying the formation.
Despite his playful antics, Chu Yang didn't forget his business.
Seeing that the Eastern King Duke was gradually adapting to the changes in the formation and began to seriously study its structure, Chu Yang knew that he could not delay any longer.
As expected of a quasi-saint, Dongwanggong was not an expert in formations. However, he gradually found some ways to break formations with force.
To make matters worse, the Eastern King Duke actually offered up his own benevolent corpse!
With the two powerful figures joining forces, the speed at which they searched for the array's core greatly increased, and Chu Yang suddenly felt immense pressure.
If things continue like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for much longer.
"Looks like I'll have to think of another way." Chu Yang stroked his chin, his eyes darting around, when a plan suddenly came to mind.
He secretly manipulated the formation to separate Dong Wanggong and Chang Er Dingguangxian, then conjured a figure and appeared in front of Dong Wanggong.
This figure was the Dharma body that Chu Yang had conjured using the laws of space.
"How is it, Dongwanggong? How powerful is my improved Innate Five Elements Grand Array?"
"You are the master of this island, aren't you? Do you know who I am?" Dong Wanggong asked, his voice stern but his tone weak. He gripped his dragon-headed cane tightly in his hand, as if he were holding not just a cane, but his last vestige of dignity.
Chu Yang's illusory avatar smiled slightly, not answering the Eastern King Duke's question, but instead asking, "Then do you know who I am?"
Dongwanggong was taken aback, looking Chu Yang's Dharma body up and down, and secretly speculating in his heart.
This Dharma body seemed ordinary, yet it gave him a sense of unfathomable depth, as if it concealed immense power.
More importantly, he couldn't even see through the cultivation level of this Dharma body!
Could it be... that the person before me is a saint?
The Eastern King was startled, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Who exactly are you, Your Excellency?" Dongwanggong asked tentatively, his tone noticeably softening.
"Me? Heh..." Chu Yang chuckled lightly. "All you need to know is that I can trap you, and I can kill you."
The Eastern King felt a chill run down his spine, knowing that things were unlikely to end well today.
"Why have you trapped me?" Dong Wanggong gritted his teeth, his face ashen, and managed to squeeze out these words through gritted teeth.
He, the head of the male immortals appointed by the Dao Ancestor, had never suffered such a humiliation!
Chu Yang's illusory avatar stood with his hands behind his back, hovering in mid-air, looking down at Dong Wanggong with a mocking smile on his lips: "It's very simple. Leave behind a mid-grade or higher innate spiritual treasure, and I will let you go. I also guarantee that what happened today will remain a secret."
"A mid-grade innate spiritual treasure?" The Eastern King's expression changed drastically, his breathing quickening! (End of Chapter)
