<div> The ship was enveloped in silence.
 Xi Muran remained silent, raised his hand to pluck the zither, but stopped halfway.
 Half a year ago, he engaged in a life-and-death struggle with Chen Shi, using the Great Wilderness Pearl to suppress Chen Shi's Demon Blood Treasure Tree. Chen Shi was defeated, and if King Li hadn't appeared in time, Chen Shi would have been dead without a doubt.
 However, that battle was also a tough victory for him. Chen Shi's Xuanhuang Sword Qi and Hongmeng Separation were truly powerful, clashing with him head-on. Although there was a disparity in their realms, the gap in strength was not so wide.
 At that time, he was at the Peak of the Golden Immortal Realm, having achieved the Golden Immortal Sixth Layer Dao Realm, while Chen Shi was at the Peak of the True Immortal Realm, reaching the True Immortal Sixth Dao Realm—a full realm apart.
 Yet Chen Shi relied on the three Harmonization Lands, the Dark Sea Heavenly Dao, and the Teacher's inheritance to level the gap in realms!
 Now Chen Shi has crossed the boundary of realms and entered the Golden Immortal Realm. Though it seems only a single Dao Realm advancement, in terms of realms, they are now equal.
 Xi Muran suddenly stood up, picked up the Fu Xi Zither, floated to the water outside the tower ship, stood on the back of the fish pulling the ship, swung his sleeve, and the chain connecting the fish to the ship instantly broke.
 The fish carried him, breaking through the layers of Xuanhuang Sea waves, swiftly disappearing from Chen Shi's sight.
 "Alright! Junior Brother Chen, I'll flee for half a day first!" His voice carried from afar.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">

 </div> Chen Shi stood at the ship's bow, raised his eyebrows, suppressing the impulse to chase immediately.
 He raised his hand to intercept a breeze, the wind stirred by Xi Muran's garments as he drifted by, containing Xi Muran's faint fragrance, enough to track him.
 "Let you flee for half a day, what harm is there?"
 Chen Shi murmured, "But in the future, I won't be so generous. If I can kill him, I'll kill him on the spot!"
 Xi Muran carried the Fu Xi Zither on his back as he stood on the fish, gazing ahead at the ever-surging sea waves, weighing the pros and cons.
 He fled without a fight, not out of fear, but as the best choice after careful consideration.
 Chen Shi achieving Golden Immortal Realm, his cultivation must have impressively surged compared to the Peak of True Immortal Realm, reaching a new height in Daoist Skill comprehension.
 During this time, he consulted with his elder brother, convinced he could use the Fu Xi Zither and the Dragon Battle Wild Song to break Chen Shi's Mixed Yuan Sword Scripture.
 Especially the Fu Xi Zither, a treasure of incredible power, passed down from the Ancestral Court, said to be the first zither made by Fu Xi, defining the five tones and twelve pitches, each tone and pitch imbued with nature's Dao Power, invoking the Heaven and Earth Great Dao to slaughter the enemy.
 The Fu Xi Zither's power is one aspect, the Dragon Battle Wild Song is another.
 Dragon battles in the wild, its blood Xuanhuang.
 The name Dragon Battle Wild Song derives from this phrase; the zither tune actually mobilizes the Dao Power of Xuanhuang Qi, a Daoist killing tune created by elder brother Fan Xiao, intended to specifically counter Chen Shi's Hongmeng Separation of Xuanhuang.
 Chen Shi's Mixed Yuan Infinite Dao Field also roots in Xuanhuang Qi, evolving into Mixed Yuan state, and should be constrained by this tune as well.
 He has a chance to win.
 If the Great Wilderness Pearl were still with him, he would have a fifty percent chance of winning against Chen Shi.
 "But my Great Wilderness Pearl was shattered by King Li with a palm strike."
 Xi Muran's face unchanged, he rode the fish away, in the distance a tower ship sailed by, several Immortals who ventured into the sea saw him riding the fish rapidly across the sea, their eyes wide with astonishment, continuously watching.
 Xi Muran flicked his sleeve, summoning a move of Lili Cyan Flame, engulfing the ship and all Immortals aboard, as well as the Xuanhuang Sea Fish Monster pulling the ship, transforming them into endless ash, perishing tragically.
 "I must avoid Chen Shi's pursuit and leave no witnesses. Otherwise, Chen Shi will find them and learn my whereabouts, which would be detrimental."
 Having killed those people, Xi Muran pondered for a moment, took out an incense stick, silently reciting prayers while holding it. After a while, the incense smoke formed the visage of elder brother Fan Xiao, floating within the smokey aura, asking, "Junior Brother Xi, what matter requires my attention?"
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> Xi Muran bowed and said, "Elder brother, Chen Shi has broken through, reaching Golden Immortal, his cultivation surely immensely powerful, already surpassing me. In this battle, my chances of victory are less than thirty percent. He is arrogant, giving me half a day's grace to flee. I estimate that I cannot escape his pursuit, so I seek your assistance!"
 Fan Xiao considered briefly, speaking solemnly, "You should first strive to escape, maintain distance, avoid direct confrontation with him. Proceed for half a day, once the time is up, immediately hide within the Dao Realm, sever your aura, leaving him no trace to follow."
 Xi Muran frowned, "I can't stay in the Dao Realm forever. Once emerging, I must return to the Xuanhuang Sea. At that time, it will still be difficult to escape his pursuit!"
 Fan Xiao said, "Where is your Harmonization Land? From there, fly back to the Earth Immortal Realm. I will mask the Heavenly Mechanism for you, preventing him from calculating your position."
 Xi Muran's face paled, hesitating momentarily, saying, "My Harmonization Land is called Lanfeng Realm, situated at the frontier of the Xuanhuang Sea. With my cultivation, flying back to the Earth Immortal Realm would take decades."
 "Decades of flight?"
 Fan Xiao was stunned, questioning, "Does Lanfeng Realm not have a direct Star Gate to the Earth Immortal Realm? Isn't the Heavenly River flowing to Lanfeng Realm?"
 Xi Muran lowered his head, saying, "I harbored some selfishness; after ascension, I used my authority to erase the information of Lanfeng Realm..."
 Fan Xiao gave him a piercing look, shook his head, saying, "Self-inflicted harm."
 The Earth Immortal Realm governs all heavens, continuously expanding outward every year, with many worlds being established from the Dark Sea, becoming new lands for immigration. These new lands are the most desirable places for Immortals and cultivators to migrate. Each time a new world is formed and liberated from the Dark Sea, many Immortals and cultivators rush there to vie for territory.</div>
