Redemption of a Born Demon

Moreover, with recent developments, many cutting-edge research projects related to the human body and the Martial Arts Dao have been consolidated and moved to Penglai Immortal Mountain.

The nation’s top researchers and Martial Arts Cultivators have gathered here, making it the best platform to study modern martial arts knowledge and spar with other experts. You might even get the chance to receive guidance from a Saint Realm master.

Most importantly, that legendary figure of the Martial Arts Realm—the brightest rising star admired by all—was said to be on Penglai Immortal Mountain right now.

In the entire Donghua Martial Arts Realm, was there any young person dedicated to the Martial Arts Dao who didn’t see him as their ultimate goal and idol?

He was a being who had single-handedly suppressed both the secular and the hidden Martial Arts Realms, like a God on earth.

Just getting to see him once would be the modern equivalent of a successful pilgrimage in ancient times.

The ship continued onward. Since Yi Beidou had manipulated the Immortal Mountain and deactivated the Array, the seas around it were no longer plagued by fierce winds, monstrous waves, thick fog, and torrential downpours. As a result, their journey was smooth sailing.

All the students had already gathered on deck. It wasn’t just them; many researchers visiting the Immortal Mountain for the first time were also there, ready to be the first to lay eyes on the mysterious site from a distance.

"I wonder if we’ll get a chance to see Mr. Yi this time?"

"Probably not. I heard Mr. Yi isn’t very social and is in seclusion in the deepest part of the Immortal Mountain. We probably won’t be lucky enough to see him."

"That’s a real shame. I heard there are always at least ten Saint Realm experts stationed on the island. I wonder who will be teaching us this time?"

"I actually have some inside info. Our instructor this time is a newly ascended female Saint Realm expert. I heard she’s only just over thirty."

"That young? What’s her story?"

"I heard she followed Mr. Yi for a long time and used to hold a key position in the Special Security Bureau."

"Oh, so that’s how it is? That explains it."

"..."

Amid the students’ excited chatter, the form of a mountain floating on the sea’s surface gradually appeared on the horizon.

A hazy, seven-colored radiance swirled around the mountain. Ribbons of light, like an aurora, hovered above its peak. It was as if a legendary Immortal Realm had manifested in the mortal world, sending a shiver of awe through everyone who saw it.

On the boundless ocean, a relic of the Immortals.

"The legendary Penglai Immortal Mountain!"

Everyone grew visibly excited. If the Immortal Mountain itself weren’t top secret, with photography strictly forbidden, someone would have already pulled out a camera and started snapping away.

"Wait, something at the top of the Immortal Mountain... is flying out?"

One of the students, who practiced a vision-enhancing technique, narrowed his eyes. He thought he saw a black dot emerge from the peak of the Immortal Mountain. It was moving incredibly fast, blinking through the air on a bizarre and erratic trajectory.

"A plane?"

"What kind of plane have you ever seen that can zip around and change direction on such a weird path?"

"It’s definitely not a plane... The object is glowing green, and I think it’s getting closer to us?"

"..."

Everyone strained their eyes to get a better look, and they soon noticed many strange things about it.

Just then, as the point of light zipped closer, the student skilled in vision techniques finally made out its distinct shape. An expression of disbelief crossed his face, and he couldn’t help but gasp:

"Holy shit, that’s a... person?!"
