Even though Huang Zhong Li spoke lightly, indifferently, and did not consider presiding over Penglai Immortal Island a hardship, Xu Fang was still uneasy.
After all, this meant truly sacrificing Huang Zhong Li to fulfill himself. Was he being too selfish?
Seeing this, Huang Zhong Li comforted him.
"Little Li Zi, we share the same breath. How can we talk about you and me?"
"Why must you be like this? As long as you make a name for yourself in the Great Desolation, and spread the prestige of our Penglai Immortal Island, that would be the greatest good for me."
Seeing this, Liang Tian Chi also spoke to console him.
"Alright, alright, Young Master Xu, you don't need to be so sentimental. We are all family, so we speak as such!"
"If you continue like this, we'll truly team up with Huang Zhong Li. Will you stay home with those three little guys? Haha!"
"I told you, this time we are not consulting you, but informing you. Speaking of which, we are the elder siblings of Penglai Immortal Island, and you, the younger brother, only have to obey!"
Liang Tian Chi had even invoked the seniority argument of Penglai Immortal Island. Xu Fang had no choice but to say more and immediately cupped his hands to Huang Zhong Li.
"Since Elder Sister has spoken, I will say no more. With Elder Sister presiding over Penglai Immortal Island, I have no more worries!"
Xu Fang solemnly bowed to Huang Zhong Li, entrusting the safety of Penglai Immortal Island to this elder sister.
He naturally understood the intentions of Liang Tian Chi and Huang Zhong Li. Besides having Huang Zhong Li preside over Penglai Immortal Island, it was also to use Huang Zhong Li as an anchor point to locate Penglai Immortal Island.
This way, no matter how Penglai Immortal Island migrated, Liang Tian Chi could locate Huang Zhong Li's position and bring Xu Fang back to Penglai Immortal Island.
Little did they know that even without this, Xu Fang could find the location of Penglai Immortal Island through the chat group.
However, since they had arranged it this way, Xu Fang did not expose the matter and pretended to be ignorant.
Seeing that Xu Fang had agreed, Huang Zhong Li, ignoring Liang Tian Chi who was muttering beside him, "Why isn't there an elder brother like me?", patted Xu Fang's shoulder.
"Remember, you are Elder Sister's eyes. You must use them to see the Great Desolation for Elder Sister!"
Huang Zhong Li was very much looking forward to the future achievements of this young brother. The thought of the pride she would feel when mentioning her younger brother to other beings in the future made Huang Zhong Li feel that the future was promising.
"Don't worry, Elder Sister, I will not let you down."
Xu Fang replied. Since he had transmigrated to this Great Desolation, he had no relatives or friends. If he had any attachments, it would probably only be this Penglai Immortal Island and this Elder Sister Huang.
She had done so much for him, and sacrificed her freedom to let him continue to roam the Great Desolation. Of course, he would not fail her expectations.
Huang Zhong Li was very satisfied with Xu Fang's answer and nodded.
"Good! Then when do you plan to set off?"
"Uh, Elder Sister, I finally came home, why do you feel like you're chasing me away?"
Xu Fang was dejected. Although it was clear that he would still go out, why did the urgency make it feel like Penglai Immortal Island couldn't accommodate him?
"Oh? Haha! My apologies, my apologies, Elder Sister was wrong."
Huang Zhong Li realized her mistake and repeatedly apologized.
"Penglai Immortal Island is your home. You can stay as long as you want."
Xu Fang nodded. This finally felt like a home!
Xu Fang then settled down on Penglai Immortal Island. Speaking of which, ever since he transformed into human form and left Penglai Immortal Island, he had been traveling in the Great Desolation, as if without a moment's rest.
Now, after a battle to defend Penglai Immortal Island, although it was not a bitter and arduous fight, it was still exhausting.
With such an opportunity to rest, Xu Fang naturally took the chance to enjoy the long-lost relaxation and spent a period of carefree happy times on Penglai Immortal Island.
Although the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue were eager to embark on a new treasure-hunting journey, they didn't dare to urge their elder to hurry since he had finally returned home.
As for the little Qilin, it kept in mind the instructions of the two princes, Mo Yu Qilin and Yu Qilin, to prioritize Xu Fang in everything, and to do whatever Xu Fang said, without any doubt or protest.
While enjoying the rare leisure time of immortality, Xu Fang did not forget certain things.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to return to Penglai Immortal Island, he transplanted the Innate Gourd Vine and the Innate Four Symbols Banana Tree, which he had "kidnapped" from Buzhou Mountain, to Penglai Immortal Island with the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil.
"However, I still have one question."
Xu Fang looked at the Innate Gourd Vine and the Innate Four Symbols Banana Tree that had settled on Penglai Immortal Island and spoke.
"Why is it that as Innate Spiritual Roots, Elder Sister could transform into a living being upon birth, while the Innate Gourd Vine and Banana Tree did not have such an opportunity?"
This was a question Xu Fang had always had. When the Innate Gourd Vine and the Innate Four Symbols Banana Tree first appeared on Buzhou Mountain, they did not take the opportunity to transform into humans.
But Huang Zhong Li, upon appearing on Penglai Immortal Island, directly transformed into a living being and broke free from her constraints.
"You ask me? I want to ask you too. We are all among the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots, who is inferior to whom? If Huang Zhong Li can appear and transform, why can't my Innate Gourd Vine?"
The Innate Gourd Vine, upon hearing this, became agitated and stirred up its inner distress.
"Yes, although I am not among the Ten Great Spiritual Roots, I am still an Innate Spiritual Root. Why can't I transform in one go?"
The Innate Four Symbols Banana Tree was also depressed. It truly didn't know what the "thief old heaven" was thinking, to be so partial.
Finally, it was Huang Zhong Li who answered Xu Fang's confusion.
"This is not difficult to understand. Although we are all Innate Spiritual Roots, our different locations determine our respective destinies."
"The spiritual energy on Buzhou Mountain is abundant, but it is far inferior to the aura from the chaotic period that emanates from Penglai Immortal Island. Therefore, what I can achieve, they absolutely cannot."
As Huang Zhong Li spoke, she saw Xu Fang about to speak but hesitate, and shook her head.
"We are all Innate Spiritual Roots, and each has its own special uses. Huang Zhong Li's fruit cannot help them in any way."
Upon hearing this, Xu Fang knew that he could not expect Huang Zhong Li to give them her fruit to help them transform.
"So that's how it is. It seems everything is destined!"
Xu Fang sighed. The Innate Gourd Vine and the Innate Four Symbols Banana Tree also understood now, so that's how it was!
Immediately, they extended their branches and desperately absorbed the aura of Penglai Immortal Island to nourish themselves.
Being in Penglai Immortal Island now, and with the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil helping them, they believed they were not much different from Huang Zhong Li and would surely succeed in transforming into living beings and walking the Great Desolation in their sentient forms!
Xu Fang looked at the two spiritual roots that seemed somewhat eager and thirsty, and felt amused.
If the Innate Gourd Vine and the Innate Four Symbols Banana Tree could transform into sentient beings, it would be a great help to him.
Otherwise, they were at most just two magic treasures with little efficacy!
However, as he watched the two Innate Spiritual Roots desperately absorbing spiritual energy and recalling Huang Zhong Li's words, Xu Fang suddenly had a bold idea.
