Zhao Di took over the transmission token, lightly pinched it, and the jade token turned into a few red lights that dissipated in the air. At the same time, there was also the voice of a young man.

  It was indeed Shi Shuo's voice, Zhao Di's disciple!

  More than a decade ago, Zhao Di left Wanjie Island and gave Shi Guang a long-distance transmission talisman. If something major happened, he could use this specially crafted talisman to inform Zhao Di. This transmission talisman came in pairs - if one was sealed with a voice or information, the other would immediately receive it, very convenient but not cheap, so it wouldn't be used unless necessary.

  Zhao Di handed these things over to Er Nu for safekeeping before he went into seclusion to cultivate, and he himself focused on his cultivation. However, he also instructed Er Nu that if the Transmission Token made any movements, she was to notify him immediately.

  According to Zhao Di's confession, Shi Shuo would only use this transmission symbol in a few rare situations.

  The young man's voice in the transmission was low and urgent, but he spoke clearly and to the point, conveying the situation with just a few simple sentences.

  "Go!" After hearing the transmission, Zhao Di didn't say another word and ordered the second girl to rush out. At the same time, she swung her sleeve and stored all the large and small wooden boxes and jade bottles in the storage ring.

  The two women quickly withdrew their law arrays, and after a moment, Zhao Di transformed into a blue light and flew away at incredible speed.

  In Penglai Fairy Island, fighting is strictly prohibited, which is one of the basic systems established by the Orthodox Alliance. Therefore, there are very few cultivators on the island who, like Zhao Di now, go all out and recklessly cast spells, attracting many people's attention.

  Always low-key and unwilling to attract attention, Zhao Di couldn't care about that anymore, so he directly flew into the Penglai Fang Market with his speed unchanged, heading towards a stone room.

  This stone room is where the transmission array leading to Xingxing Island is located. A middle-aged man in the early stages of building his foundation was standing on the transmission array with a transmission symbol stuck to his chest, waiting for the monk in charge of the transmission array to activate the law array and he would be transmitted to Xingxing Island.

  "Halt!" A man's loud shout came, and the middle-aged man only saw a blue light rushing towards him. He subconsciously wanted to use his spiritual power to defend himself, but the extremely fast blue light approached, and he couldn't even use a bit of spiritual power. He felt that his body was struck by a massive force, landing several meters outside the transmission array. Fortunately, he wasn't injured, but the transmission symbol on his chest had disappeared, and in his pocket, there were seven or eight pieces of mid-grade spirit stones.

  A blue light landed on the spot where the middle-aged man was originally standing, revealing a purple-robed young man. At this time, he held a teleportation talisman in his hand and said to the middle-aged man: "I have an urgent matter to attend to first, consider these spirit stones as compensation for you! Quickly activate the transmission array!" The last sentence was directed at the two Foundation Building mid-term cultivators responsible for the formation.

  The young man in purple clothes was undoubtedly a superior being above the Cong Dan period, and after giving such instructions, these foundation-building cultivators dared not disobey. The middle-aged man immediately thanked him repeatedly, while the cultivator responsible for the formation quickly threw out the law disk in his hand and cast a spell on the formation.

  A flash of white mist, and the senior fellow who had come in a hurry disappeared into the formation. At this time, the middle-aged man was still bowing his head to express his gratitude.

  In the largest transmission array of Xing Island, after a flash of white light, a purple-robed youth appeared, and several foundation-building monks who were responsible for guarding the array had not even seen his face clearly before he turned into a blue light and flew out of the hall.

  The blue light flew out of the main hall and went straight up, then stopped briefly in mid-air before turning to fly rapidly towards the southwest.

  After a moment, the evasive light transformed by Zhao Di arrived above a low mountain peak. At this time, three cultivators - two men and one woman, all of whom were in the Foundation Establishment stage or higher - were fiercely battling each other there.

  The woman with a white veil on her face was in the initial stage of forming an elixir, while her opponents were a white-faced scholar in the middle stage of forming an elixir and an old man with a long beard in the later stage of forming an elixir.

  The white-clothed woman with a flowing dress, fighting one against two, was actually gaining the upper hand. She wielded a jade hairpin treasure and conjured up a vast expanse of cyan light shadows, her attack extremely fierce! Meanwhile, those two elderly scholars, whose cultivation bases were not much higher, were merely defending themselves.

  A blue light flashed and shot towards the three people, stopping a few meters away from the white-clothed woman, revealing a young man in purple clothes.

  "It's you!" The woman in white exclaimed with a mixture of surprise and excitement, her heart filled with emotions!

  The newcomer was Zhao Di, and the woman in white was Yun Jia Xian Zi Meng Li, with whom he had a predestined affinity and could never forget.

  Zhao Di received news from his disciple Shi Shuo that Tian He, a resident of Xingxing Island, had left the island several years ago for unknown reasons. Meanwhile, Yun Mengli, who was being pursued by Tian He with a large reward, took advantage of this opportunity to disguise himself and return to Xingxing Island, but was somehow recognized and is now being attacked by several Jiedan period cultivators. These people were fighting in mid-air above Xingxing Island, and Shi Shuo happened to be in the market district of Xingxing Island, saw this scene, and immediately reported the situation to Zhao Di.

  As soon as Zhao Di heard about this, he rushed over at the fastest speed. He was worried that Meng Li Xianzi would be outnumbered and wondered if she could hold on until his arrival. Unexpectedly, this woman actually had the upper hand!

  Zhao looked at the girl, smiled slightly, wanting to say something, but couldn't find a suitable sentence for a while.

  The girl looked at Zhao Di with an unusually joyful gaze, but her eyes were as red as if they had been bleeding, very eerie. She was clearly at the peak of her foundation-building cultivation, yet she emitted a powerful spiritual pressure that was no less than that of a late-stage foundation-building cultivator.

  "Soul Ignition - Dharma!" Zhao Di's mind echoed with Youlan's astonished cry, the white-clothed girl's appearance suddenly reminding her of this secret technique's name.

  Zhao Di's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, for the Soul Ignition Technique was a legendary method he had long heard of. It was an extremely overbearing yet costly secret art, said to have been created by a renowned Ghost Gate cultivator from ancient times. However, it wasn't limited to just Ghost Gate techniques - any cultivator who had reached the Core Formation stage or higher could grasp and utilize this technique, regardless of their sect or school.

  The so-called Soul Ignition Technique is a method where the caster sacrifices nearly half of their lifespan in exchange for a rapid increase in their cultivation, often exceeding twice or even several times their original power within a short period. Although this sudden surge in cultivation is extremely powerful, the cost is equally frightening: not only does it reduce the caster's remaining lifespan by half, but also causes their cultivation to be unable to break through and advance for the rest of their life due to the premature forced activation of their potential.

  Thus, this powerful technique of the Blazing Soul, although incredibly mighty, was rarely practiced by cultivators, and its specific incantation gradually became lost in the Starry Sea. It is also unknown where the Dreamy Luminous Fairy obtained her method of cultivation, and she actually disregarded the enormous cost to execute this secret art.

  Zhao secretly thought that something was off, wondering how the girl could hold on until now and still manage to counterattack with only defensive moves. The reason behind it all became crystal clear.

  "Hey, I thought some help had arrived, but it's just a kid at the early stage of the Cong Dan peak!" A white-faced scholar in his thirties, waving a square inkstone-shaped magic treasure in front of him, looked at Zhao Di with disdain.

  "Hey kid, you'd better get out of here while you still can. This girl is a wanted fugitive by the Heavenly Master Tian He, and if you don't want to get involved, you should scram!" The old man with the long beard used a painting scroll as his magic tool, transforming it into a huge size, flying and spinning around, displaying a dazzling light that blocked all of the girl's attacks.

  After Zhao Di appeared, the girl's attack slowed down slightly, and the painting scroll treasure also stopped rotating temporarily, revealing its true form. On it was painted a 40- or 50-year-old bearded Confucian scholar holding a long sword, who looked surprisingly similar to this old man, probably his appearance when he was younger.

  Looking at the girl's crimson eyes, a surge of uncontrollable sorrow welled up in Zhao Di's heart, and immediately turned into raging flames, as he bellowed at the scholar and the old man: "You're all going to die!"

  Innumerable purple auras emanated from Zhao Di's body, as he grasped the Blazing Heaven Blade, wrapped in a mass of purple cloud, and slashed a trail of purple light towards Shu Sheng. In mid-air, he continuously wielded the Blazing Heaven Blade, with crescent moonlight blades hacking towards Shu Sheng one after another.

  A faint layer of evil energy on his body suddenly condensed into shape at this moment, and merged with the purple energy on Zhao Di's body.

  Zhao Di shot out like a purple arrow, his momentum extremely shocking!

  With a few light sounds of "brush brush brush", the bookworm wielded the square inkstone with flashing ink light, subconsciously blocking all of Tianyan Blade's attacks, and muttered to himself: "Top-grade spiritual artifact, high-ranking spiritual stone!"

  The old man beside him was also shocked and saw such a valuable treasure, he was stunned for a moment. But when he saw the girl's dense green light sword shadows attacking, he immediately devoted himself to defense.

  "With a loud crash, the Heaven-Cleaving Blade stabbed into the inkstone with incredible speed, creating a small hole the size of a fist. The blade itself also snapped in two at its midpoint from the impact!"

  The scholar saw that the treasure was damaged and became furious. He opened his mouth and spat out a small, ink-colored ruler which instantly transformed into several feet in size and struck Zhao Di directly.

  "Hah!" A loud, stern voice burst forth from Zhao Di, a purple aura flashing across his face. At the same time, the purple cloud wrapped around his body instantly condensed at his fingertips, gathering into a three-inch-long, finger-thick purple light column that shot out with his mighty roar, piercing through the small hole in the inkstone made by the Heaven-Piercing Blade at an extremely fast speed that was hard to discern with the naked eye, and directly striking the scholar's head.

  Although this was done in the blink of an eye, Shu Sheng had cast a protective light shield and had a silk handkerchief treasure automatically protecting his body, but neither could stop the purple light, which easily pierced through his head.

  The scholar didn't even have time to let out a cry of despair before he fell headfirst down, and an inch-sized blood hole appeared on his brow.

  This inadvertently mixed some killing aura on Zhao Di's body with the Hunyuan divine light, and its power seemed to have increased greatly. It even pierced through the opponent's silk handkerchief defensive treasure!
