Ancient Grand Array

Behind the curtains of a black grand hall, a powerful aura emanated.

The envoy, whose true appearance was indiscernible, intently gazed at the man below.

"How is the assimilation of the fortune of the Immortal Realm going?" he asked in a deep voice.

"I beg for your forgiveness, I beg for your forgiveness," the man below prostrated himself, immediately pleading for mercy.

"What exactly is the matter?" the envoy inquired.

"There's an issue with the Jade Wall Immortal Continent, one of the Upper Three Continents," the man replied fearfully.

"What?"

From behind the curtain, a cold voice emerged: "What exactly happened?"

“Reporting to the Envoy, we were about to take control of the Jade Wall Immortal Continent, but then a sudden fat man disrupted our plans,” the subordinate stammered.

"What?"

"A fat man?"

"Where did this fat man come from?"

Behind the curtain, an angry voice resounded, causing the surrounding space to suddenly shatter. The Envoy spoke gravely: "You must understand, while the Jade Wall Immortal Continent may not be significant among the Upper Three Continents, its geographical location is crucial for the Master's grand plan."

"I understand, I understand," the man prostrated himself, trembling as he spoke.

"I command you to investigate what exactly happened on the Jade Wall Immortal Continent as soon as possible and ensure the fortune of the continent is under our control at the earliest opportunity."

"Additionally, the Star Immortal State is equally important to the Master, so while you're investigating the Jade Wall Immortal Continent, also keep a close eye on the progress of the Star Immortal State to prevent any further mishaps."

The Envoy behind the curtain instructed sternly.

"Yes, Envoy, I will arrange it immediately," the man responded respectfully.

"By the way, what about the Destroyer of the World? Has he been found yet?" the Envoy asked again in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the subordinate man furrowed his brows and replied helplessly: "Envoy, it's the same as before. His soul lamp hasn't gone out, but he's nowhere to be found."

“Hmph, what is this good-for-nothing Destroyer of the World doing?”

The Envoy spoke gravely: "Pass the order to continue searching for the Destroyer of the World. After all, he is an important piece in the Master's layout in the Immortal Realm and the Immortal River Continent. We cannot afford for him to go astray."

"Yes, I will handle it right away..."

...

On a small island of the Heaven and Earth Sect.

The lake waters rippled gently.

Although many elderly men and women had followed Yi Feng into the Immortal Realm, the island remained lively.

Outside the island.

A man with disheveled hair sat cross-legged, concealing his vitality and aura to the utmost.

It was the long-absent Destroyer of the World.

"Although this old man possesses overwhelming strength, my concealment techniques are even more superior. Having hidden here for so long without being discovered is proof enough," the Destroyer of the World opened his eyes, feeling quite pleased with himself.

Glancing at the nearby array still in operation, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Why haven't those nine great beings returned yet!"

"This time, it seems like it's been almost a year or two!"

He looked up at the distant island, lost in thought.

"This island may seem ordinary, but since the Envoy dispatched ten generals simultaneously, it clearly indicates that this island is extraordinary!"

"Gathering information on that island must be fraught with danger."

"Because haste is not an option."

"In that case, a year or two is nothing."

The Destroyer of the World thought to himself.

Realizing that a year or two was insignificant, especially at his level of cultivation, it was merely a blink of an eye.

“For the Master's grand plan, those great beings can meticulously advance on the island without rushing back. Then, waiting here in such a safe place, why should I be impatient?”

"If I lack this patience, what right do I have to serve the Master?"

Upon thinking this through, he firmly nodded his head.

"I will wait steadfastly!"
