Li Cheng felt incredibly awkward; those two old men actually claimed they were reinforcements summoned by the monkey!

This left him with no way to continue the conversation!

“That’s great, please come with me, I’ve been waiting for you guys for a long

time!”

The little girl dropped the branches and leaves and dashed out of the town with her slender legs.

“Should we follow her?” Feng Wanli looked around and asked.

Ye Chenfeng flew out, “Of course, we’ve already admitted it!”

Li Cheng and Feng Wanli followed as well.

Leaving the town, the little girl emitted her aura and crashed into a large tree. Unexpectedly, her body seemed to merge into the tree and disappear, leaving only her aura to guide the three men.

Without any hesitation, Ye Chenfeng also charged into the tree.

Bang!

Wood chips flew everywhere as the trunk of the large tree shattered into countless pieces, and the huge canopy collapsed.

Feng Wanli suppressed a laugh, “Taoist Friend Ye, that’s One Leaf Blindness, she’s traveling through the trees!”

Indeed, the little girl had deliberately released her aura, and by now, she had already reached hundreds of miles away!

“This Divine Skill is amazing; if she hadn’t intentionally spread her aura to lead us, we wouldn’t have been able to detect her at all,” Li Cheng praised.

The speed of this Divine Skill was not only incredibly fast, but it was also crucial for her to use the trees to escape and hide extremely well.

More importantly, she was merely at the Golden Core Stage of cultivation.

“Of course, Divine Skills aren’t just talk,” Feng Wanli agreed, nodding his head.

Li Cheng couldn’t help but think if his disciple, Ling Xi of the Innate Spirit Clan, had any Divine Skills.

The three of them followed the little girl for over ten thousand li before a vast expanse of Floating Peaks came into view!

Looking from afar, mist and clouds swirled between the Floating Peaks, with each peak supporting a towering ancient tree!

Vines hung from the towering ancient trees, extending down below the Floating Peaks and some even reaching other peaks, connecting many of them together.

“Tsk, tsk, this is even more beautiful than Avatar…” Li Cheng was mesmerized, murmuring to himself.

“What?” Feng Wanli, standing beside him, asked.

“We’re here; I’ll go find the Clan Leader and the monkey. Please wait a moment, dear guests!” the little girl’s voice rang out as her aura reached the top of a Floating Peak.

Soon, a ferocious aura surged over, accompanied by a roar!

“Alt, to deceive even a child, that truly infuriates me!”

Whoosh!

In an instant, a monkey the size of a regular person appeared before the three, its golden eyes scanning Li Cheng and the others.

The three men raised their eyebrows in intrigue—it was no wonder the little girl had asked such a question; there really was a monkey!

The monkey wore a tiger-striped loincloth and carried a machete about one meter and fifty-six centimeters long; the violent aura it exuded sent shivers down the spine.

“You’re in trouble now, a Monkey Demon with a cultivation at the peak of the Profound Immortal, tsk, tsk…” The voice of Immortal Emperor Tianyuan reached the trio’s ears.

The monkey, holding the machete, pointed it at the three, “I told the little lass I had called for reinforcements, and you dare to impersonate them?”

Ye Chenfeng cleared his throat and said in all seriousness, “We are the reinforcements!”

The monkey pointed the machete at Ye Chenfeng, “Just you? A ten Tribulations Loose Immortal?”

“You… you don’t even have a physical body.”

“You… are kind of interesting, but also quite weak!”

Pointing the machete at the three of them one by one, the monkey’s gesture sent chills through everyone.

Li Cheng remained calm because he was ready; as soon as the monkey made a move, he would use the Immortal Spirit Step to take them away.

“Monkey, why don’t you treat your reinforcements a little more politely?” the voice of the little girl chimed in.

The monkey’s eyebrows lifted high, “Girl, in front of outsiders, call me Uncle Kong!”

Li Cheng’s eyes brightened, “Wukong?”

“My apologies to the three guests, Uncle Kong has a bit of a fiery temper.” “That’s right, let me introduce you, this is my Uncle Kong, Kong Xu.

The little girl landed beside the monkey and introduced him.

Li Cheng had been eyeing the monkey, who looked a lot like the one he imagined, except maybe a bit taller.

“Kid, have you had your fill of looking? What do you mean by ‘Wukong¹? It’s King Kong Xu to you! Kong, as in ’contempt for everything,’ and Xu, as in ‘must beat the enemy to the ground’!” The monkey’s golden eyes also sized up Li Cheng from top to bottom.

Feng Wanli and Ye Chenfeng both secretly clicked their tongues in admiration; such an introduction was quite domineering!

Li Cheng smiled, “Life should be full of joy, don’t let the golden goblet face the moon alone. Perhaps that’s a bit more unrestrained.”

The monkey snorted coldly and turned his head, “All flowery talk, just like those Confucianism Path folks, but… I’ll take it!”

“Our esteemed guests have come from far away, Monkey, why not invite our guests over?”

At that moment, a ethereal voice came from the center of the Floating Peak.

The voice sounded somewhat ancient, yet mysteriously boundless.

“It’s a Golden Immortal; there’s also a trace of even stronger beings here. This place is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!” The voice of Immortal Emperor Tianyuan echoed in Li Cheng’s mind.

Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Profound Immortal, Golden Immortal, Li Cheng felt surprised. This was a folded and hidden space, a part of the Kunlun Realm. Could such powerful beings really be born here?

Outside, crossing the Heaven Tribulation would mean ascension.

It seemed very likely that this place was a relic from billions of years ago when the Order of Heaven and Earth was still as it was, which is why the people here could reach such high realms.

Indeed, the Kunlun Realm was no simple matter!

“You said ‘a trace’? What do you mean? Are they dead or have they left?” Li Cheng communicated through his thoughts.

“This residual aura means that the person has left,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan replied with certainty.

Li Cheng had more to ask, but Immortal Emperor Tianyuan interrupted, ” When we fly up later, don’t send me messages, the Golden Immortal will hear!”

Li Cheng understood.

“Please, the three of you!” Monkey Kongxu put away his big machete and made an unwelcoming gesture to invite them over.

He clearly didn’t understand why such weak cultivation qualified for esteemed guests.

Under the lead of Monkey Kongxu, the three flew toward the center area’s Floating Peak.

Along the way, many male and female elf children flew out of the ancient trees, curiously gazing at the trio.

“The Wood Elf Clan has been living here for countless years, and you must not harbor any ill intentions towards this place,” the leading Monkey Kongxu turned his head to caution.

“Senior Kong can rest assured, we haven’t even released our Immortal Sense, we respect the Wood Elf Clan very much,” Feng Wanli said with a smile.

Li Cheng looked left and right, noticing that aside from ancient trees, there were spiritual fields on the Floating Peaks, planted with rare flowers, exotic grasses, and various kinds of spiritual fruits.

“That ancient tree appears to be the Clear Heart Immortal Tree, bearing Clear Heart Fruits, which are comparable to the Enlightenment Fruit.”

As they proceeded, Feng Wanli pointed to an ancient tree tens of miles high ahead and spoke with a look of awe in his eyes.

The tree’s enormous trunk, broad enough to measure a kilometer in girth, strained toward the sky, its roots and branches interweaving like an immense, vastly magnified bonsai.

“Hehe, what discerning guests!”

The ethereal voice sounded again as they saw a wooden cabin situated on a twisted horizontal section of the Clear Heart Immortal Tree’s trunk. In front of the cabin, an elderly man with white hair sat with a welcoming smile, ready to receive guests.

The elder’s figure was slightly hunched, and the nearly transparent wings on his back emitted a faint white light, casting his hair in a hazy glow.

“We pay respects to the senior!” Landing on the tree trunk, the three of them bowed in unison.

This was a Golden Immortal, who would dare to be disrespectful?

The elder’s face bore a warm smile as he gestured for them to enter, “It has been over ten thousand years since we’ve had visitors. Dear guests, please come inside!”

Li Cheng felt doubtful in his heart, were they not but ants in the eyes of this elder? Could he really be so hospitable?
