CHAPTER 1560: CHAPTER 1580: PLAN DISRUPTED, BIG BULL’S NEWS

Yusuf Zuck departed from the Pier Dojo, but before he left, he once again placed Ruth Wilcox and everyone else into the Blue Sea and Cloud Sky.

This time, he left alone, without bringing Big Black Dog or any of the Masters, because he didn’t want anyone to know his whereabouts.

Also, this time, he planned to settle his family in the Mortal World.

If in the future he survived and could dominate the world, he could bring his family back anytime, but if he died, at least they wouldn’t be implicated by him, and they could enjoy life safely.

Of course, this was his worst-case scenario, a sort of arrangement for after his possible demise.

However, as he ventured alone away from the Pier Dojo area and had even entered the Southern Area, an unexpected situation disrupted all his original plans.

He left Pier Dojo quietly, and except for Pier, no one knew when he had left. He hadn’t taken the sky route but left from underground.

He knew there must be scouts from enemies around the Pier Dojo, so as long as he didn’t bring Big Black Dog, others would think he was still in Pier Dojo, allowing him to escape everyone’s attention.

But when he quietly reached the Southern Area, prepared to leave the Eternal Life Realm, he unexpectedly encountered a few people in the night.

These people were passing by and didn’t know of his presence, so he overheard their entire conversation.

"Are you sure it’s that fool?"

"It should be no mistake, who else but that old demon Zhang’s foolish son could it be?"

"Rumors say he absorbed all the original energy of the Element World back then, making his body the strongest furnace!"

"Exactly, that’s why we have to hurry over. The news hasn’t spread yet, so we must act first. Once the news spreads and the other Masters know, we won’t even have the chance to sip the soup!"

"It’s not just about the soup; that old demon Zhang would surely come, and then that demon would start another killing spree!"

"Hmph, that old demon probably won’t live much longer. The Master’s Alliance is meeting to discuss punishing him. Even with the protection from Master Timothy of Primordial Residence, this time, he’s doomed!"

"Let’s move quickly. I worry the news might have leaked, so the faster we get there, the better!"

"Go, go, go!" The group of people slipped away like meteors in the night.

Yusuf Zuck ended up changing all his plans because of overhearing this conversation.

He intended to descend to the Lower Realm to settle his family in the Mortal World, but the conversation made it clear they had found Hugh Zuck, and they planned to kill him. So how could he turn a deaf ear? How could he continue to go to the Mortal World?

He quietly followed them. How could he remain indifferent when his son’s whereabouts had been discovered? No matter what, even if it meant his death, he would protect his son!

The people ahead were all at the Heavenly Emperor cultivation level, but Yusuf was sure he hadn’t seen them before. These people should be newly ascended Heavenly Emperors after the unification of the Nine Realms. Perhaps they were famous before, but after the unification, even Heavenly Emperors were small fry, so they no longer held any fame.

Yusuf became Invisible, suppressing all his spiritual power, and followed them for three days and three nights. He felt he had reached the southernmost sea area when the group finally stopped.

"The next part of the journey cannot be flown, brothers, please be careful." After saying this, one of them suddenly conjured a small boat, which quickly enlarged as they stepped aboard. Then, with shimmering layers of formation magic, the boat was protected.

Yusuf was undeniably curious. What made this sea different? Why couldn’t they fly? Why did they need a boat?

Yet a scene unfolded that astonished him because after the small boat advanced a bit, a black hole seemed to appear out of nowhere, continuously pulsating with terrifying energy. The small boat whooshed into it!

Concerned for his foolish son’s safety, Yusuf didn’t care about the potential danger inside. Even if it were a mountain of knives and oil cauldron, he would enter. So, he followed the small boat into the black hole!

However, once inside, Yusuf was bewildered because it was a black ocean. The black seawater was incredibly viscous, like crude oil, but it wasn’t crude oil; it was some unknown liquid.

Furthermore, here, flight was impossible, so he could only land on the black oil.

Yet, when his feet touched the black oil, it began to emit smoke and sizzle. The black oil was searing hot, corroding his defenses and depleting his power and blood.

The boat ahead quickly vanished from his sight, and Yusuf grew anxious. Flight was impossible; standing on the black oil meant burning and exhaustion. How could he proceed?

"Hmm, right, the Qian Kun Staff!" Yusuf had a sudden inspiration and threw out the Qian Kun Staff beneath his feet.

With a "Giant! Giant! Giant!" the Qian Kun Staff rapidly expanded, becoming as large as a massive ship in an instant. Once he stood on it, the burning sensation disappeared, and he ceased expending energy!

The Qian Kun Staff transformed into a gigantic rod floating on the black oil. He used his strength to push with his feet, and the Qian Kun Staff glided forward like a lone boat.

Soon, he caught sight of the boat’s silhouette, but he didn’t close in too tightly; he stayed far behind.

After another two days, Yusuf suddenly noticed a gigantic whirlpool appear directly in front of the little boat up ahead. The boat rocked violently with the waves formed by the whirlpool as if it might capsize. Nevertheless, the boat struggled forward and finally surged into the whirlpool’s center, getting sucked inside.

Without hesitation, Yusuf charged forward against the waves, and as his body lightened, he was sucked into the whirlpool, but at this moment, he tightly clung to the Qian Kun Staff, not letting go.

After about seven or eight breaths, his eyes brightened, revealing an Immortal World of blue water and blue sky.

A fragrance wafted through the air. He saw wildflowers covering the mountains, birds singing in the trees, rabbits from the Mortal World running through the forest, and a distant Immortal Palace on the mountain that looked like a painting, not of this world.

But he didn’t see the previous boat, nor any of those people.

Yusuf put away the Qian Kun Staff, and with a sudden brightening of his eyes after some thought, he leaped into the air and transformed into a Parasitic Light, quickly entering the singing bird’s body atop the tree!

This was a lark, a very ordinary bird, with no spiritual power.

"Flap-flap～" The bird soared skyward, and through its eyes, Yusuf began to survey the Immortal World, searching for the trail of those people.

Of course, the direction of his flight was unmistakably toward that mountaintop, shrouded in mist and illusion, to the Immortal Palace!
