The envoy raised his hand, silencing the murmurs in the crowd.
"These matters are beyond your level of understanding," he said.
"Very well, I will now activate the teleportation array and transport you all to the Immortal Realm one by one."
As his words fell, the entire array began to rotate. A column of light descended from the sky at the gesture of the white-haired old man, quickly enveloping the floating pattern at the center of the formation.
One by one, they stepped onto the floating pattern.
With a flash of brilliant light, each person disappeared.
Everyone who entered carried varying degrees of anticipation and joy.
Only Yi Feng, the last one, was different.
He stood on the light column with a scowl, clearly reluctant.
With a flicker of light, he vanished along with the envoy and the array....
A dizzying whirl swept over Yi Feng.
The world flashed by in an instant.
Yi Feng found himself in the midst of it, time passing like a white colt glimpsed through a crack.
Time passed, though how long was unclear.
Yi Feng sensed a glimmer of light in the teleportation channel.
Then his vision changed, and he landed on an unfamiliar continent.
As soon as he touched down, a whirlwind swept past, sand stinging his eyes.
Yi Feng quickly raised his arm to shield himself.
After a moment, he slowly lowered his arm and surveyed his surroundings.
He was completely stunned.
This... was the so-called Immortal Realm????
Unbelievable!!!
Raging sand everywhere, not a blade of grass in sight.
The air was filled with a bloodthirsty, savage aura, and the stench of decay and rot permeated everything.
Bones littered the ground, with vultures feasting on flesh.
Yi Feng stood frozen in place for a long time, staring at the scene before him, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
Shouldn't the Immortal Realm be... ethereal and otherworldly?
Yi Feng tremblingly lifted his foot.
The movement caught the attention of the vultures, who all turned to reveal blood-red eyes, terrifying Yi Feng into quickly withdrawing his raised foot.
The blood-eyed vultures took flight with a screech that pierced the sky!
Yi Feng stumbled backward in fright.
As he retreated, he tripped over a skeleton and his hand pressed against something cool and soft.
Looking down, he saw a jet-black three-eyed black mamba flicking its tongue at him.
The snake coiled and struck, sinking its fangs into Yi Feng's arm!
"Aaaaah!!!!"
A piercing scream tore through the eerie, gloomy space.
Yi Feng screamed as he leapt up, flinging the venomous snake from his hand, then without hesitation pulled out the dagger from his shoe and swiftly cut into his arm.
He sucked frantically at the wound while letting it bleed!
Damn it, other transmigrated protagonists conquered the world and slept with beauties, ruling over nations with ease, while he had struggled to survive in this alien world for twenty years.
A full twenty years!
Never touched a beautiful woman, never showed off, and now he was going to die from a snake bite???
Even after spitting out a pool of blood on the ground, Yi Feng paused to circulate his energy through twelve cycles to carefully expel the poison.
Only after ensuring there wasn't a trace of venom left in his body did Yi Feng continue his trek across the desert wasteland.
All the animals here had mutated.
The bones too, were neither human nor ghost-like.
As for living people, he hadn't seen a single one. There was no sign of human habitation at all.
After walking through this wasteland for a long time, Yi Feng finally saw an altar.
Four towering pillars surrounded the altar, each with a black chain attached.
The chains extended towards the altar, converging at its center.
At the center of the altar was a cage, restrained by chains from four directions.
Yi Feng stood below, looking up at the altar above. A fierce wind blew, carrying sand and the stench of decay.
Yi Feng raised his hand to shield his head while still gazing at the altar.
What was that place?
There was a cage, so there might be people nearby.
If he encountered people, he could ask about this place.
Yi Feng stepped forward, but before he could reach it, a voice like a thunderous bell resounded from all directions.
"The sinner Jiang Zhi, once lord of a continent, rebelled against the Nine Heavens and is banished to Dark Shadow Island."
As the voice faded, the chains began to shake.
A figure appeared in the cage with a flash of light.
The prison door swung open.
Yi Feng was overjoyed.
Ah! He had finally found a living person!
Yi Feng hurried to the altar. By now the cage had opened, and a woman in red walked out.
Her fiery red dress billowed in the fierce wind.
She was like a flame burning in the desert.
Her face was cold yet stunningly beautiful, like an icy spring in the depths of winter.
As dazzling as the July sun, yet as cold as December frost.
