Mu Chunfeng had already heard of Xiao Chuhe’s name. Back then, this sixth prince willingly accepted punishment under Lord Langya's protection, and his deep loyalty alone was admirable. With that in mind, Mu Chunfeng offered two fine wines for everyone to taste and asked to see Tang Lian’s "Book of Wine," which increasingly amazed him the more he read.

He revealed that the brewing techniques recorded in the book could enhance one's martial strength, which reminded Lei Wujie of the three cups of "Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon" wine he once drank. Compared to the sweetness of "Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon," Mu Chunfeng’s "Fragrance of the Cold Pool" was a rare strong liquor—so potent that even drinkers like Xiao Se and Tang Lian dared not indulge.

Sure enough, after finishing his drink, Lei Wujie suddenly drew his sword and rushed out, dancing with it on the deck while reciting poetry. The verses were Wu Xin’s creation, and Mu Chunfeng couldn’t help but praise the poem. At this time, Baixiaosheng of the martial world brought up the "Golden List of Martial Rankings" again, announcing the Weapon Ranking and the Fine Jade Ranking.

In the past, Lei Hong, Lei Yunhe, and Li Hanyi had all appeared on these lists, but now they had been replaced by younger disciples like Lei Wujie, Sikong Qianluo, and Luo Mingxuan. The top of the list was shared by Wu Xin and Wu Shuang. Once the Golden List was announced, a disciple of the Hall of All Knowledge suddenly mentioned the "Supreme List," which caused a huge stir like thunderclaps.

This list had been hidden for decades and was reappearing in the world, signaling an oncoming storm of bloodshed. As the name implied, it ranked the absolute best. It only had a first and second place—those ranked second would always yearn for the top, while the top would face challenges from the entire martial world. The Supreme List was divided into four tiers. The top tier included the Furious Sword Immortal Yan Zhantian, Dantai Po, Xie Xuan, and Li Tian.

The third tier included Sikong Changfeng, the Moon-Picking Lord, and Tang Lianyue. The second tier had Luo Qingyang and Baili Dongjun. The most puzzling name in the top tier was Mo Yi, which confused all the disciples. As the questioning grew louder, everyone looked at Sikong Changfeng, but he had never heard of this name. Far away in Tianqi, Qi Tianchen suddenly sensed something long lost.

As the ship neared Three Snake Island, Mu Chunfeng, considering that Xiao Se didn’t have long to live, decided not to waste their time catching snakes. Upon parting, Tang Lian gifted Mu Chunfeng with Tang Clan poison. Soon after, they encountered Ye Ruoyi, who could read the stars. The five of them set sail in a small boat and finally reached the legendary immortal island of Penglai.

A massive island appeared before them, filled with towering trees, singing birds, and mist-covered peaks. The white-robed immortal Mo Yi descended from the sky. Though he was sixty-five years old, he looked like a youth. With a wave of his sleeve, he relieved everyone's fatigue and immediately saw that Xiao Se and Ye Ruoyi were afflicted with terminal illness. Ye Ruoyi felt that Mo Yi seemed familiar and was inexplicably uneasy but chose to wait and observe.

Mo Yi knew Xiao Se’s purpose and agreed to treat him and Ye Ruoyi, on the condition that they exchange something in return—to help him defy fate. As for what that meant, Mo Yi didn’t elaborate, only saying it would be revealed tomorrow. After Mo Yi left, Lei Wujie complained that even immortals made deals.

Tang Lian didn’t mind and believed that Mo Yi was more like someone who had stepped into the Mystic Realm—walking on air and moving instantly, far beyond the Realm of Freedom. But Xiao Se sensed that Mo Yi harbored deep obsessions. When he spoke of wishes, his gaze was like an abyss—perhaps he had fallen from immortality into demonic ways. The others shuddered at the thought.

At this moment, Qi Tianchen stood in the Astronomical Observatory, recalling how, in his youth, he followed his master, Daoist Qingfeng, and encountered Mo Yi selling himself to bury his sister. Because of his extraordinary talents, Mo Yi became the second-ranked Daoist within three years, just below Qingfeng. At that time, he was only nine years old—his talent was unparalleled. If he had stayed in Beili, he would surely have become the number one person in the world.

However, despite studying countless Daoist methods and witnessing the suffering of the world, Mo Yi never found a way to resurrect the dead. Birth, aging, illness, and death are part of the natural order—trying to reverse them is a path of demons. Clearly, Mo Yi had broken a great taboo in an attempt to bring his sister back to life.

Tang Lian visited Mo Yi alone, hoping to ask about Baili Dongjun’s whereabouts, only to find that Mo Yi had lost all his previous warmth and smile. Now Mo Yi's tone was cold and arrogant. The so-called “supreme detachment from emotions”—this was the true nature of an immortal.

Although Tang Lian was already ranked third on the Fine Jade Ranking and had reached a realm of ease that many could not achieve, he had no strength to fight back in front of Mo Yi and was immediately locked in a cave, unable to find a way out. Looking around, he finally saw Baili Dongjun drunk nearby, surrounded by wine bottles—inside them was the very Mengpo Soup he had long dreamed of.
