Chapter 529

"Don't worry. I have a plan." Xiao Jing curled his lips as he thought of something new.

"What plan? We can't offend Penglai Island Master. He is a master of the Heavenly Abode Realm, and even seniors like us have to respect him, "Ding Yao reminded him, afraid that Xiao Jing would act recklessly.

"Don't worry. I'm not stupid enough to mess with Penglai Island Master. Have you forgotten which force that kid impersonated?"

His words intrigued the others. "You mean …"

"The Gu Clan isn't something that just anyone can impersonate. That brat is using the Gu Clan's name to swindle people outside. As long as we exaggerate a little and inform the Gu Clan of this matter, they will definitely send people here."

"If that kid keeps hiding in Penglai Mountain, Penglai Island Master will have no reason not to hand him over when the Gu Family comes."

Xiao Jing sneered, and the others shuddered at his plan.

If he left Penglai Mountain, he would be robbed by them. If he stayed, he would run into the Gu Family. The overseas independent cultivator was really miserable!

…

Following Penglai Island Master, Gu Chen entered Penglai Pavilion with an honest-looking young independent cultivator who had performed well in the previous competition.

Penglai Island Master cherished talents. Although this independent cultivator's performance was not as good as that of Gu Chen and the other true disciples of the immortal factions, he still stopped him and asked if he was willing to join Penglai Mountain.

The young independent cultivator's name was Miao Fugui. Hearing Penglai Island Master's words, he knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times, agreeing to join Penglai Mountain.

They followed Penglai Island Master into the pavilion. Penglai Island Master talked with them amiably and asked about their backgrounds, looking very kind and amiable.

Feeling flattered by Penglai Island Master's concern, the honest Miao Fugui told him everything he knew and even the backgrounds of his three generations of ancestors.

Gu Chen was neither servile nor overbearing. He told Penglai Island Master what he had told Zhuang Fan. He said that he was an overseas independent cultivator who didn't belong to any sect or family.

Hearing his words, Penglai Island Master said to Miao Fugui with a smile. "In the future, you can stay in Mount Penglai with peace of mind. There are many good places on the mountain. I believe they will be helpful to your cultivation."

"Many thanks for Island Lord's great kindness!" Miao Fugui said gratefully.

After settling Miao Fugui down, Penglai Island Master looked at Gu Chen and took out a jade box, handing it to him with a smile.

"This is the reward for this year's Ocean and Sky Banquet, the Great Evolution Fruit. It can point out the right path and help people gain enlightenment. You'll know the specific effects after you try it."

"Thank you, Island Master, for your gift!" Gu Chen gratefully received the jade box with both hands.

Penglai Island Master not only helped him out of trouble but also kept his promise and rewarded him. He had to admit that Penglai Island Master was as noble as the rumors said.

"It's getting late, and you've gotten yourself into some trouble. Why don't you stay in Mount Penglai for a few more days and lay low for a while?"

Penglai Island Master persuaded Gu Chen out of kindness.

Gu Chen hesitated. "Won't this cause trouble for the Island Lord?"

"Hehe, Little Friend, you're welcome. It doesn't matter. You can stay here. If you're willing to join Mount Penglai, the Old Man welcomes you with open arms. "

It was hard to refuse Penglai Island Master's kindness, and it was indeed unsafe to leave now. Therefore, Gu Chen nodded and agreed.

"Alright, you should all be tired after a long day. Have a good rest."

After making arrangements for them, Penglai Island Master let them go to rest. He didn't act too warmly or coldly.

Gu Chen and Miao Fugui left and went to their residences under the guidance of the disciples of Mount Penglai.

After they left, Penglai Island Master, who had been smiling a moment ago, sat on the chair with a cold and numb expression …

Gu Chen moved into the Penglai Pavilion. After making sure that the Great Evolution Fruit he got was safe, he ate it that night.

He wasn't afraid of being stolen, but he was afraid of being remembered. Knowing that he would be in the eye of the storm after winning the prize today, he decided to eat the fruit in case of an accident.

After swallowing the Great Evolution Fruit, Gu Chen soon understood why Penglai Island Master said that this fruit could help him find the right path.

His body didn't have any reaction when the fruit entered his stomach, but his head felt warm.

Meanwhile, the experiences he had accumulated during cultivation were magnified in his mind. Even the cultivation experiences that the direct disciples of the major immortal factions had told him during the day appeared in his mind.

After eating the Great Evolution Fruit, information exploded in his mind!

Countless pieces of memories gushed out and rearranged themselves.

The difficult body-tempering when he was at the physical body realm, the crazy journey to the forbidden forest to unseal the orifices and be reborn.

The birth of the power for the first time, the battle against the lords in the Nirvana Realm, and the thrill of breaking through the Gate of Immortality.

When he was trapped in the prison in Frostless City and was on the verge of death, his soul transformed into his vital spirit and underwent a qualitative change …

The details and feelings that Gu Chen had experienced when he had broken through each realm in the past replayed in his mind, making him re-examine his own cultivation career.

The Great Evolution Fruit couldn't increase one's Essence Force cultivation or rebirth. Its only function was to awaken one's deep memories and help one reorganize and understand one's own Dao.

This was what Gu Chen needed urgently since he was already at the peak stage of the Heavenly Being Realm and was still confused about the Dharma Realm.

That night, he fell into a strange state of Dao Enlightenment. He tried to find his own Dao by combining the information he learned from others about the next realm.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Still under the influence of the Great Evolution Fruit, Gu Chen's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't figure out what to do.

At this time, the Penglai Pavilion Master sent someone to find Gu Chen. He realized that he was too obsessed with the Dao Enlightenment Realm and almost lost his mind.

Since he couldn't see his own Dao now, he decided not to think about it.

He washed his face, changed his clothes, and followed his disciple to see the Penglai Pavilion Master.

When he arrived at the main hall, Miao Fugui was also there.

The Penglai Pavilion Master saw Gu Chen's frown and said with a smile. "Young friend, are you confused after eating the Great Evolution Fruit?"

Gu Chen nodded solemnly. "The Great Evolution Fruit is very magical. It stimulated many problems in my cultivation that seemed simple before, but I never thought about it."

"Don't worry, you have to take it one bite at a time. It's normal for you to be confused now. You'll be fine after some time. If there's anything you don't understand, you can discuss it with the Old Man at any time. "

The Penglai Pavilion Master's words were friendly. Gu Chen started to think. He really did have a lot of questions about cultivation that he needed to ask someone.

With the Pavilion Master's realm, if he was willing to teach him, it would be a good thing for him.

"Alright, if you have any questions about cultivation, you can discuss it with the Old Man later. The Old Man asked you to come here today for another matter."
