I Fuse All Things and Become the Strongest Cultivator

"I also heard that the one in the eastern hall was so angry that she smashed part of a palace."

"Hey, do you have a death wish? Those words are not something you can just say out loud."

Xiao Shou was stunned.

It had already been more than ten days and people were still talking about it.

And what kind of ridiculous chain of relations was that supposed to be?

He also noted how even mentioning the eastern hall was taboo.

That Crown Princess clearly held overwhelming authority.

But why was no one talking about the information he had spread?

Just as Xiao Shou was thinking this, a conversation from a table to his right caught his attention.

"A few days ago, I went to Nine Treasure Pavilion and ran into the Youung Island Master of Penglai Immortal Isle and his concubine. That girl was really beautiful."

"Well of course she is. After all, She the woman of the Young Island Master of Penglai Immortal Isle. But your news is outdated. I heard that this Miss Li is actually the fiancée of the Young Island Master Ying."

"Wait, I thought she was just a concubine?"

"Heh, Miss Li got lucky. The night before last, she ran into her sworn elder brother. Apparently he is from the number one sect on the mainland, the Holy Sword Sect. A Nascent Soul stage sword cultivator, one of the top in the sect. He treats her like a real younger sister. I think his people called him Venerable Jian Li. After hearing this, the Young Island Master Ying immediately announced he would marry Miss Li."

"Pfft."

Xiao Shou almost choked on his tea.

A concubine of the Young Island Master Ying? Miss Li? Holy Sword Sect? Jian Li? Sworn brother?

What was going on?

Where had the plot gone?

It felt like everything had run off in a completely wild direction.

As he wipe the tea from his mouth, Xiao Shou continued listening to this shocking gossip.

"So Miss Li actually has quite the background. No wonder..."

"What background is that? The important thing is the dowry given to her by that Venerable Jian Li. I am telling you, I heard it is an inheritance from an ancient artifact cultivator that he discovered!"

"Ah, an ancient artifact cultivator inheritance. No wonder. The Ying lineage of Penglai Immortal Isle has produced many famous artifact cultivators to begin with."

"Exactly, and every one of them successfully ascended. Like Venerable Haifu..."

The rest was useless information.

No need to keep listening there.

Xiao Shou perked up his ears and focused his hearing elsewhere.

Ever since he had continuously consumed demonic beast cores, not only had his strength, dexterity, and agility greatly improved, even his five senses had undergone a massive evolution.

At this point, even without using divine sense, his physical perception alone was stronger than that of high level demonic beasts.

Eavesdropping on scattered conversations like this was effortless.

Sure enough, as he listened here and there, he suddenly caught something from a table near the entrance.

"I saw the monks from Fanghu Mystic Isle yesterday. Their aura is really special."

"Idiot, those are Buddhist cultivators. They cultivate differently from us."

Fanghu Mystic Isle?

Xiao Shou immediately recalled what that unlucky captain he had killed mentioned before.

It clicked instantly.

These must be the cultivators from the other two isles who are being invited by Emperor Yingzhou.

Penglai Immortal Isle and Fanghu Mystic Isle had both arrived.

Now that the three Immortal Isles had gathered at Yingzhou Celestial Isle, it was clearly because of the Seven Deadly Sins.

He wondered if the information he had spread had been successful.

Hopefully the cultivators of Yingzhou had not suppressed the news.

A delay of one day could still be blurred, but a delay of more than ten days would be difficult to hide from his disciple given how clever he was.

His disciple was simply too smart.

It really felt like he was being pushed into a corner as a master.

While Xiao Shou sighed inwardly, he continued listening.

Unexpectedly, he soon heard exactly what he had been hoping for.

"Hey, do not call me an idiot. Of course I know they are Buddhist cultivators. They came for the Seven Deadly Sins. Who on Yingzhou Celestial Isle does not know about it now? There are notices everywhere offering rewards to purchase the Source of Profound Ice and the Vermilion Bird Sacred Flame. I just meant that the aura of those Buddhist cultivators feels calming and soothing. It is very special."

Since he already knew the name Seven Deadly Sins, it seemed the information spreading plan had succeeded.

With that, Xiao Shou felt relieved and was ready to leave Yingzhou Celestial Isle after finishing his meal.

Unexpectedly, just as he casually glanced toward the entrance, he saw a familiar face flash past outside while moving quickly in a wheelchair-like artifact.

Yu Lin?

Why was she here? What happened to her legs? Why was she relying on a magical device to move?

If she was here and if the Source of Profound Ice had originally been sealing the Seven Deadly Sins, did that mean she had deliberately released it in order to seize Xiao Ran’s opportunity?

But in the novel he had read, was there ever a plot where Xiao Ran obtained an opportunity here and released the Seven Deadly Sins?

Xiao Shou was deeply shocked to see Yu Lin here.

Countless questions flashed through his mind in an instant.

He immediately lost interest in gathering information or eating.

As he tossing down some spirit stones to pay his bill, he quickly rushed after her.

Since flying was forbidden on Yingzhou Celestial Isle, he could only pursue her on foot while tracking her with his divine sense.

Just as he was about to catch up at a street corner, his body suddenly collided with something, which forcing him to stop.

"Fellow Daoist, are you alright?"

Xiao Shou looked up and saw a monk standing before him.

He’s more than two heads taller than himself.
