The ape led them forward at a slow pace and the sea was extremely calm all the way. There were no waves at all, as if they were on a lake.

"So, Brother Ape," Lei Wujie asked the ape at the front. "How long before we arrive at Penglai Island?"

The ape didn't even turn his head back.

"It just understands humans but it’s not really an evolved spirit. It won't talk to you." Ye Ruoyi smiled.

The ape raised its head and grinned at Ye Ruoyi with a toothy smile. Then he put away the boat's oar and clasped his hands behind him, looking like those old teachers in Beili. At the same time, the small boat passed through the dense fog.

A huge island revealed itself right in front of them. The trees on the huge island were towering, the birds and beasts calling, and the peak of the mountain was hidden by a lingering cloud.

"This immortal mountain beyond the sea sure lives up to its name," Tang Lian said with emotion as he looked at the majestic scene before them.

The small boat drew ashore, and the ape suddenly screeched into the air.

Everyone raised their heads and they saw a man in white jump down from a cliff. The man opened his hands and walked lightly under his feet, his white clothes fluttering and in an instant, he landed steadily in front of them.

There was an immortal mountain beyond the sea, he rose with the wind and rode on the wind, accompanied only by heaven and earth, aging with the sun and the moon.

The legend appeared just like that before their eyes.

The immortal in white had an extremely beautiful face. He had creamy skin and his face was as white as jade. In terms of appearance, even Sikong Qianluo and Ye Ruoyi couldn’t compare to him but looking closely at his brows, he was clearly a man. As for his age, that was even more difficult to guess. He had a very young appearance, but the loneliness in his eyes seemed to be as deep as an abyss, as if he had lived for thousands of years. He waved his long sleeves and smiled slightly at the group. "It is a great honor to have such distinguished guests arrive."

They were mortals who came to pay a visit, but the immortal was first to say he was honored. Everyone looked at each other at once, not knowing what to say. The ape was so happy that he leaped into the air and landed next to the immortal. The immortal patted its head. "Thank you, you can go and play now."

The ape responded and ran off immediately.

The immortal looked at everyone again. "The distinguished guests must be tired. Why don't you take a rest on the island?"

The group of them recovered from their shock and Tang Lian grasped his hands in greeting. "Immortal, it was presumptuous of us to visit. Please forgive the intrusion."

The immortal smiled and looked past the group towards the vast and open sea. "For so many years, very few people have been able to come here. Since you’re here, it is fate. Why is there a need to feel presumptuous or not."

Everyone followed his gaze, and their hearts were shocked. The dense fog they had travelled through had completely dissipated without their notice and now, the only thing they could see was a vast and endless sea. Once they recovered again, they realised that the immortal was slowly walking deeper onto the island. He didn’t ride on the wind as before, but simply walked one step at a time, as if he was deliberately waiting for them.

"Looks like this immortal is rather easy to get along with. Let’s go." Lei Wujie didn't think too much about it, and followed him with a gleeful smile.

Ye Ruoyi was inexplicably unsettled. Xiao Se saw the change in her expression and asked, "What is it?"

Ye Ruoyi frowned slightly and murmured, "I keep getting the feeling that his qi is somehow very familiar."

Xiao Se started. "You’ve met him before."

"Maybe I have, but maybe I haven’t either."

"Why don’t you just ask him and find out." Sikong Qianluo also picked up her spear and walked ahead.

Everyone followed the immortal up the mountain, and after walking for about an hour, the immortal stopped.

Everyone was shocked again.

On this island deep in the open sea, there was such a pavilion hidden away. There seemed to be an underground hot spring billowing out rolls of steam. Above the steam was an exquisite pavilion, with many small animals such as monkeys and squirrels jumping and playing around it. The immortal leaped up and entered the pavilion.

Everyone looked at each other and immediately followed in.

The immortal gestured towards the wicker chairs on the side. Then, he smiled and looked at everyone. "You seem to have travelled a long way, and you’re already a little tired."

Lei Wujie and Sikong Qianluo were already exhausted since dawn and they immediately sat down when they saw the chairs. Tang Lian restrained himself a little and said, "In order to meet the immortal, we have come thousands of miles from Beili!"

"Beili?" The immortal still had a small smile on his face, but his eyes revealed a longing expression. "I haven't heard this name in a long time."

"The immortal knows of Beili?" Tang Lian regretted his words as soon as he spoke. Since his master had been here before, the immortal would naturally have heard of Beili from his master.

"Not only do I know of Beili, I was born there, and I spent a long time there." The immortal walked up to Tang Lian, and lightly tapped a finger between Tang Lian's eyebrows. “Since you’ve arrived, there’s no need to force yourself anymore."

Tang Lian felt a warm current flowing from that finger into his forehead, filling his entire body. The exhaustion from sailing all night disappeared, and he felt an indescribable comfort and joy. He said happily, "Thank you, immortal."

The immortal retracted his finger and walked to Lei Wujie's side.

Lei Wujie smiled and said, "Immortal, instead of using your finger to point at me, can you touch my head with your hand?"

The immortal asked curiously, "Why is this?"

"In the books, they always say that when an immortal touches your head, you will have a long life and live forever." Lei Wujie was still full of smiles. "I want to live forever."

"In the past, someone asked me to touch his head too," the immortal said lightly.

"Then what happened?" Lei Wujie asked.

"Then the cliff where he cultivated was smashed into pieces with my one palm." The immortal lightly pressed his hand on Lei Wujie's head.

Lei Wujie closed his eyes immediately and inhaled a long and comfortable breath.

The immortal looked at Sikong Qianluo next.

Sikong Qianluo hurriedly said, "You can just point at my forehead."

The immortal chuckled and reached out with a finger to touch right between Sikong Qianluo's brows. Then he turned around, looked at Ye Ruoyi and Xiao Se who were still standing there, and slowly said, "So it's the two of you who are seeking me?"

Xiao Se asked, "Why did you guess it’s the two of us?"

"Because the three of them are exhausted, but they have a pure and deep core. Even if I didn’t do anything, they will be fine after taking a nap. But you two." The immortal glanced at Xiao Se and then at Ye Ruoyi. "One of you has an erratic qi and is very near death. The other was born with a deficiency and should have died a long time ago."

Sure enough, an immortal didn’t even need to measure their pulse and could tell how ill they were with just one look.

Ye Ruoyi nodded. "The immortal is right."

The immortal walked slowly in front of Ye Ruoyi and looked at her. "You have a very familiar qi."

Ye Ruoyi started. "Immortal, have we met before?"

"You all don't have to call me immortal. Just call me by my name." The immortal turned around and walked back into the distance.

"My name is Mo Yi."
