Chapter 493: Just Lan Xiaobu's Follower
Lan Xiaobu took out a small cauldron.
Inside it, a round pearl slowly rotated, emitting faint divine spiritual energy.
Lan Xiaobu immediately realized that Luo Caisi was right—this small cauldron could indeed gather divine spiritual energy.
If the divine spiritual energy in the Divine Realm was truly scarce or absent in many places, then the value of this small cauldron in the Divine Realm would be immeasurable.
He extended his divine sense into the cauldron and performed a simple refinement.
Instantly, he knew that this was none other than the Divine Source Hall.
After storing the Divine Source Hall away, Lan Xiaobu rushed out of the desert and sent a message to Luo Caisi and Gudao.
He didn’t have time to study the Divine Source Hall now.
He would refine it thoroughly when he had the chance.

Outside the Great Kun Sea Realm’s plaza, a gaunt man sat cross-legged on a prayer mat.
Though he was at the edge of the plaza, the bustling crowd made him stand out.
Numerous gazes and divine senses swept over him, and soon, many noticed the prayer mat beneath him.
It was undoubtedly a supreme treasure, perhaps even surpassing top-grade immortal artifacts.
"Friend, would you like to step into a nearby resting pavilion for a chat?" A young man approached the gaunt figure, his tone friendly.
"Scram," the man on the prayer mat replied coldly.
The young man's expression darkened.
He was, after all, an Immortal Emperor.
"Hah! I, Bai Chengsang, have never met someone as arrogant as you. Since that’s the case, I’d like to see how you’ll make me scram."
As he spoke, Bai Chengsang reached out to grab the gaunt man.
The onlookers quickly stepped back.
Anyone familiar with the Kunxu Sea knew who Bai Chengsang was.
Bai Chengsang was the son of Bai Ci, the deputy island master of Luanjiao Island.
Since the island master, Feng Xuan, had no children, Bai Chengsang was effectively the young master of Luanjiao Island.
Moreover, Bai Chengsang possessed extraordinary talent.
Despite his youth, he had already reached the Immortal Emperor realm.
His position as the young master was well-deserved, and he was almost certain to become the next island master.
For someone to dare tell Young Master Bai Chengsang to scram was nothing short of suicidal.
*Boom!*
A figure was sent flying, tumbling several times in midair before crashing into the plaza’s monitoring array and rolling a few more times on the ground.
Everyone was stunned.
They had clearly seen Bai Chengsang make the first move.
Yet, it was Bai Chengsang who had been sent flying, not the man on the prayer mat.
Many recalled Bai Chengsang’s earlier words—he had indeed been shown how to "scram."
Yuan Bu, who had been observing from afar with his divine sense, felt his heart skip a beat.
Today had already been eventful enough.
First, Du Zhuo had forcibly broken through the Great Kun Immortal Palace’s protective formation.
Then, Lan Xiaobu, who had previously dominated the Great Kun Immortal Palace, had arrived.
Fortunately, Lan Xiaobu hadn’t allied with Du Zhuo.
Whatever the reason, Lan Xiaobu had at least chased after Du Zhuo.
But before the matter with Du Zhuo could be settled, another terrifying expert had appeared.
To slap away Bai Chengsang—who had attacked first—was no small feat.
Almost as soon as Bai Chengsang was sent flying, several powerful experts from the Great Kun Immortal Palace landed in the plaza.
At the same time, the two island masters of Luanjiao Island arrived via teleportation.
Earlier, due to the commotion caused by Du Zhuo, Yuan Bu and the others hadn’t paid attention to the plaza.
Now that they were here, they immediately understood why Bai Chengsang had been sent flying.
The prayer mat beneath the gaunt man was no ordinary treasure.
"I am Feng Xuan, Island Master of Luanjiao Island. May I ask why you attacked our young steward?" A man of average height stepped forward, his gaze briefly lingering on the prayer mat before he spoke with a serious expression.
"What kind of trash place is Luanjiao Island? Scram, don’t disturb your Grandpa Zha," the gaunt man sneered.
"Hahaha..."
Feng Xuan laughed loudly, though his eyes held no mirth.
After his laughter subsided, he cupped his fists toward Yuan Bu.
"Palace Master Yuan, I must borrow your plaza today. Though Luanjiao Island may not amount to much, we won’t tolerate being bullied by just anyone."
As Feng Xuan spoke, a tall, thin man appeared beside him, his aura indicating he stood united with Feng Xuan.
Everyone recognized him—Bai Ci, the deputy island master of Luanjiao Island.
Yuan Bu also cupped his fists.
"Island Master Feng and Deputy Island Master Bai, feel free to act as you see fit. It seems many have forgotten that the Kunxu Sea is not to be trifled with. The six regions of the Kunxu Sea should unite—we can’t let just anyone step all over us."
"Oh? Planning to gang up on me now?" A calm voice rang out.
Following the voice, a man and a woman descended from the sky, accompanied by a wolf-like immortal beast.
"Brother Lan, we wouldn’t dare attack you," Yuan Bu said hurriedly, his back breaking into a cold sweat as he stepped forward and bowed.
Lan Xiaobu had emerged, and his Dao companion and beast companion had already left the Great Kun Immortal Palace.
This suggested that Du Zhuo hadn’t fared well.
No matter how bold Yuan Bu was, he wouldn’t dare provoke Lan Xiaobu.
Right now, there were two people he feared—Lan Xiaobu and Du Zhuo.
Though Feng Xuan coveted the prayer mat, he didn’t dare act against Lan Xiaobu either.
Lan Xiaobu’s words carried weight, and his gaze seemed to linger on Feng Xuan.
Feng Xuan didn’t dare hesitate.
He quickly stepped forward and bowed.
"Brother Lan, this is a misunderstanding. We weren’t planning to attack you—we were dealing with an arrogant fool."
He pointed at the gaunt man still sitting on the prayer mat.
"Zha Zha, were they trying to attack you?" Lan Xiaobu’s gaze shifted to the gaunt man.
This was none other than Zha Yu, who had come to the Great Kun Sea Realm with Lan Xiaobu.
In his haste to rescue Luo Caisi, Lan Xiaobu had left Zha Yu outside the plaza.
"Brother Lan, sigh. They just saw I had a nice prayer mat and wanted it. They were probably looking for an excuse," Zha Yu sighed.
Both Feng Xuan and Yuan Bu were stunned.
Zha Yu, with his formidable strength, was actually Lan Xiaobu’s follower?
Before Lan Xiaobu could respond, Bai Ci grabbed the freshly risen Bai Chengsang and slapped him across the face.
"I thought someone was bullying you, but it turns out you were coveting someone else’s treasure, you disgrace!"
After striking his son, Bai Ci bowed apologetically to Lan Xiaobu.
"Brother Lan, this was Luanjiao Island’s fault. I acted without understanding the situation."
Zha Yu clicked his tongue.
"Tch, just admit you’re scared. No need to sugarcoat it."
To Zha Yu, fearing Lan Xiaobu was normal.
Not fearing him would be strange.
Lan Xiaobu had even taught Ji Yun a lesson—who wouldn’t be afraid?
Lan Xiaobu’s gaze settled on Bai Chengsang.
He now knew which faction had taken the Heavenly Gang Formation Flags from the Moon Spirit Immortal Domain—Luanjiao Island.
If not for him, Luanjiao Island would have already acquired several flags.
He also knew of another person he had killed, Mu Buyu, who had disguised himself as a void pirate.
Mu Buyu was also from Luanjiao Island.
What did Luanjiao Island want with so many Heavenly Gang Formation Flags?
"Brother Lan, is Du Zhuo still inside the Great Kun Sea Realm?" Though he knew it might be impolite to ask, Yuan Bu had no choice but to seek Lan Xiaobu’s guidance.
Regardless of how strong Lan Xiaobu and Du Zhuo were, the Great Kun Immortal Palace feared Du Zhuo more.
Lan Xiaobu at least followed some rules and principles.
Du Zhuo, however, acted solely based on his fists—wherever his strength reached, his will became law.
"Du Zhuo has left the Great Kun Sea Realm. He’s injured and won’t be back anytime soon, so you don’t need to worry," Lan Xiaobu said.
Du Zhuo had escaped using a blood遁术, so it was normal that Yuan Bu and the others hadn’t noticed.
"Thank you, Brother Lan."
Yuan Bu quickly expressed his gratitude.
This was the only good news he’d heard all day.
While Feng Xuan was still uneasy, Lan Xiaobu summoned his Reincarnation Pot.
"Zha Zha, let’s go."
Now that everything was ready, it was time to destroy the Heavenly Tribulation Formation.
He had a feeling that with these powerful figures appearing one after another, the Heavenly Tribulation of the Immortal Realm might arrive at any moment.
As Lan Xiaobu departed, Feng Xuan let out a sigh of relief.
Little did he know that Lan Xiaobu had already decided to pay a visit to Luanjiao Island.
Luanjiao Island’s collection of Heavenly Gang Formation Flags was definitely suspicious.
"Zha Zha, I have a question for you. Do you know of a Divine Court called the Great Abyss Divine Court?" Lan Xiaobu asked as the Reincarnation Pot soared through the air.
He recalled the Divine Court Seal he had obtained.
Zha Yu might look down on island masters like Feng Xuan, but he didn’t dare show the slightest disrespect to Lan Xiaobu.
This was someone who had even taught Ji Yun a lesson and stolen his Fate Formation Plate.
Now that Lan Xiaobu was asking, he hurriedly replied, "Yes. The Great Abyss Divine Court was once one of the strongest in the Divine Realm. When you reach the Divine Realm, you’ll understand. There’s a Great Abyss Divine Gate there, which is also incredibly powerful. Yet, such a mighty sect was merely a subordinate of the Great Abyss Divine Court. Later, however, internal conflicts arose within the Divine Court, and the Great Abyss Divine Gate rebelled. The Great Abyss Divine Court collapsed. By the time I left the Divine Realm, it was already a shadow of its former self, with many of its territories seized."
In the Divine Realm, the more areas rich in divine spiritual energy one controlled, the greater their foundation.
As the Great Abyss Divine Court lost territories, its strength dwindled.
"I suspect the Great Abyss Divine Court is now only a name without substance."
"There’s no such thing as 'only a name.' Either it exists, or it doesn’t," Lan Xiaobu said flatly.
Though he hadn’t been to the Divine Realm, if a Divine Court had lost all its territories, it was as good as gone.
Zha Yu shook his head.
"That’s not the case. The Great Abyss Divine Court is different from others. Its authority lies entirely in a single Divine Court Seal. As long as the seal exists, the Great Abyss Divine Court will never disappear. Everyone in the Divine Court recognizes only the seal. As for who holds the position of Divine Court Master, no one cares."
(That’s all for today’s update.
Goodnight, friends!)
