"Li Yang, on that island, I’ll make you wish you were dead!"

An aura of savage violence erupted from Zheng Qian, and a ferocious look twisted his features.

"Dad, I want that Li Yang dead!" At that moment, his son, Zheng Yi, who was beside him, roared in fury upon hearing the news.

He was in a wheelchair, his face also contorted with ferocity, looking completely unhinged.

When had Zheng Yi ever suffered such a loss in his entire life? From the day he was born, his grandfather was a Celestial Level master. Now, his father was Celestial Level and his grandfather King Level. Others could only suck up to him; who would dare lay a hand on him?

Li Yang’s actions had sent him into an indescribable rage.

Glancing at the crazed Zheng Yi, Zheng Qian frowned slightly and said, "That’s enough, Yi. Look at yourself."

Fights were all too common among Cultivators. He had lost count of his own injuries on his path to power, but he’d never seen anyone, let alone his son, become so unhinged after just one injury.

Hearing his father’s admonishment, Zheng Yi finally calmed down. He lowered his head and said, "Dad, I was wrong."

"Mm."

Zheng Qian nodded. "For now, you just rest and recover at home. I’ll go explore that island myself and see if I can find any Spirit Fruit and Medicinal Herbs that can improve one’s Talent."

"And another thing, as soon as I run into Li Yang, I’ll make him pay for what he did to you."

A vicious glint appeared in his eyes.

’How dare he bully my son! Li Yang, I’ll make you regret this for the rest of your life!’

With the King Level Zheng Hu backing him, Zheng Qian had no need to be overly cautious. The moment Li Yang showed his face, he would strike!

The Zheng family were always the ones bullying others, never the other way around!

...

Li Yang arrived at a location where two people, a man and a woman, were waiting.

One was an ordinary-looking young man in his twenties. At first glance, everything about him seemed unremarkable.

However, he was a Cultivator from Coastal City, at the Profound Level.

The other, a young woman, wasn’t gorgeous but could be called cute. She had short hair, healthy, wheat-colored skin, and a certain wild air about her.

’For Coastal City to have three Cultivators joining the Celestial Origin Palace... that’s an incredibly high number. I wonder why.’

Many large cities didn’t have a single one.

This time, these two were tasked with taking Li Yang to meet up with the main group. After all, it was Li Yang’s first time with the Celestial Origin Palace, and he wasn’t familiar with anything.

"Let me introduce myself. I’m Zhang Lie."

The young man said with a smile as he walked up to Li Yang, extending his right hand.

"And this is Lin Na," he added, gesturing to the young woman beside him.

"Li Yang," Li Yang introduced himself as well.

With the greetings exchanged, they were now acquainted.

"By the way, Li Yang, what’s your power level now?" After the introductions, the young woman, Lin Na, asked curiously.

Hearing this, Li Yang just smiled and didn’t answer.

His strength had already reached the Celestial Level, and he was planning to give Zheng Qian a little surprise on the island, so he wasn’t about to reveal it now.

Seeing that Li Yang didn’t answer, Lin Na couldn’t help but purse her lips and say bluntly, "How stingy."

’His power level must be too low for him to say it out loud,’ she thought. ’After all, he looks so young, not even twenty yet.’

At that age, even if he was a Cultivator, he would most likely be at the Yellow Level.

"Haha, Little Na, our power is a Cultivator’s trump card. How can he just tell you so casually?" Zhang Lie said with a laugh, not minding Li Yang’s silence.

They knew very little about Li Yang, only that another Cultivator had appeared in their own Coastal City and would be accompanying them to the island. Beyond that, they had no other information.

Because he hadn’t answered her question, Lin Na completely ignored Li Yang afterward.

Li Yang, of course, didn’t mind. He chatted casually with Zhang Lie, who was very enthusiastic and told him all sorts of stories about other Cultivators.

The three of them traveled to their destination by car.

Three hours passed quickly, and they arrived at a huge, open field.

Over forty people were gathered there, their ages varying widely from as young as their twenties to as old as their fifties.

"Zhang Lie, look, that’s Feng Wu! Feng Wu is planning to go to the island this time too!"

Seeing the crowd, Lin Na’s gaze suddenly fixed on one spot, and she whispered to Zhang Lie.

Li Yang saw the person too. He had just been listening to Zhang Lie talk about some of the stronger members of the younger generation in the Cultivation Realm.

Feng Wu, twenty-seven years old, his strength now at the Peak of Earth-level! He was practically the strongest of the younger generation!

You had to understand, there were only about fifty Celestial Level Cultivators in all of Hua Country. Peak of Earth-level was the strongest rank below Celestial!

A hint of awe appeared in Lin Na’s eyes.

"Peak of Earth-level... I wonder when I’ll ever reach that?" she mused. Though a woman, she was obsessed with cultivation.

Zhang Lie smiled and said, "Come on, let’s go say hello."

Zhang Lie’s strength wasn’t particularly high, but he was a smooth talker. At least, from Li Yang’s interactions with him so far, his impression was quite good. Zhang Lie had also told him a lot about the Cultivation Realm.

’A guy like that could probably get along anywhere.’

However, before Zhang Lie could take a step, Feng Wu, who wasn’t far away, looked over and suddenly started walking directly toward them.

"Feng Wu is coming toward us," Lin Na said, very surprised to see him approaching.

"Brother Zhang Lie, do you know Feng Wu?"

Zhang Lie shook his head. "I’ve only met him once before."

They watched Feng Wu approach, and to their surprise, he walked right up to Li Yang.

"Li Yang? I know who you are. You’ve got a lot of nerve." Looking at Li Yang, Feng Wu actually broke into a smile and said, "Let’s get acquainted. I’m Feng Wu."

The smile on his face stunned Lin Na even more.

She looked at Li Yang, now completely bewildered.

’Feng Wu is a Peak of Earth-level Cultivator, but in my eyes, Li Yang is just some lowly Yellow Level nobody. They’re not even in the same league! And yet, Feng Wu is taking the initiative to befriend him.’

Li Yang wasn’t one to turn away a friendly gesture, so he smiled back. "Hello." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Li Yang? So that’s Li Yang."

"He’s actually planning to go to the island!"

"The Zheng family will be there too!"

"He’s got some serious guts. Zheng Qian is a Celestial Level Cultivator."

Some of the people nearby also looked over, breaking into discussion after hearing Feng Wu’s words.

Hearing their chatter, Zhang Lie and Lin Na finally understood Li Yang’s situation. They stared at him, their eyes filled with shock.

Li Yang had actually beaten up Zheng Qian’s son, Zheng Yi!

They knew of Zheng Yi; his strength was at the Initial Profound Level. To defeat Zheng Yi so easily, Li Yang’s strength had to be at least at the Peak of Profound Level!

That was even stronger than Zhang Lie!

Lin Na’s face flushed red, then went pale. She had just been assuming Li Yang was at the Yellow Level, never imagining his strength was actually so formidable.
