"Tang Rao, this is a national stronghold. I won't hold you accountable for coming today, but if you continue to push your limits, don't blame me for being impolite!"

The Big Head couldn't do anything about Tang Rao, as Tang Rao's strength had reached a level that the Big Head couldn't shake.

With a flick of his wrist, he could control the weather, and with a small amount of effort, he could overturn the entire Blue Star. What was a small country compared to that?

"Big Head, let's not beat around the bush. I came here today because I felt a bit wronged and uncomfortable. I need you to give me an explanation. If you can't provide a reasonable one, a little compensation would suffice. I can accept that."

The Big Head had no shortage of resources. Tang Rao was eyeing things he didn't have time to mess with. Wouldn't it be great to have the Big Head handle them?

The Big Head knew Tang Rao wouldn't come for no reason. Fortunately, Tang Rao was straightforward with his requests, which was rare. It's those who don't voice their concerns and still cause him trouble that are harder to deal with.

"What do you want? Tell me, and I'll give the compensation I can."

As Tang Rao advanced, the Big Head retreated, ensuring he stayed within a safe range.

"It's nothing much, really. I just want some plants and flowers. I can provide you a list. Once you've gathered them, just notify me through Illusion City."

Tang Rao was making a bold decision.

The day before returning to Blue Star, Tang Rao considered many tasks he needed to accomplish there, but ultimately deemed seeking Heavenly Treasures the most crucial.

The Land of Immortals lacked abundance compared to Blue Star. To enhance the Kao Shan Sect's power, Tang Rao needed to craft countless Immortal Elixirs using Heavenly Treasures. Besides the resourceful Blue Star, Tang Rao couldn't think of a better place.

Yan Wei made the right choice picking the Big Head, but as soon as the Big Head connected with Illusion City, he'd be in touch with everyone in the Land of Immortals. With Yan Wei's current technology, he hadn't figured out a better solution to avoid this issue.

Tang Rao could only have Yan Wei monitor the Big Head closely until he returned to Blue Star to destroy the Illusion City Glasses.

"I agree, but you can't threaten my status, nor the interests and safety of the nation."

If what Tang Rao wanted threatened national interests and safety, the Big Head's interests and safety would also be compromised.

Many people were waiting to see the Big Head fall. In such times, he needed to be extra cautious.

"Collecting these items poses no difficulty for you. Don't say I'm threatening you."

The Big Head briefly glanced at the paper Tang Rao handed him and said, "Except for the large quantity, finding these items isn't very difficult."

The weight on his heart finally lifted.

If he had outright rejected Tang Rao without even looking, it would have blown up into a big deal.

"I'll leave this matter to you. Next time I return and find you haven't done these things, your descendants, your future, and even your bones won't find peace."

Tang Rao was proficient at threats; he was practically an expert in this field.

"Alright, alright."

The Big Head nodded and bowed repeatedly. By the time he straightened up, Tang Rao had already disappeared from his sight.

That's the capability of someone who has reached a certain Realm.

With only half a day left, Tang Rao didn't want to waste his most valuable time on the Big Head.

"Li Li, Aunt, are you all ready?"

When Tang Rao found Yan Wei, Lei Li and Bai Xiaotong were also with him.

"Tang Rao, you wouldn't be thinking of helping your Aunt and Lei Li through the Tribulation, would you?"

The Ninth Heavenly Tribulation leading to the Starry Sea, and for two people at that, was undoubtedly a significant challenge for Tang Rao to send both at once.

Was Tang Rao sure this wouldn't cause any issues?

"No problem, it's a piece of cake for me."

Tang Rao confidently replied.

"Ready."

"I'm ready too."

The Land of Immortals was a place everyone dreamed of reaching, and Lei Li and Bai Xiaotong were no exceptions.

"Alright, the Array I left on the Moon should still be there. We have time to head there now, aiming to get you both to the Land of Immortals today."

Even Bai Xiaotong, usually brave, couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Take a deep breath, don't get excited, don't worry. Just stay calm. I'll handle the Heavenly Tribulation for you. Just wait for a golden light to greet you."

Tang Rao almost moved himself with his own kindness.

If only someone had helped him through the Heavenly Tribulation back then and shown him the way to the Land of Immortals, Tang Rao might not still be a less-than-exceptional Immortal Emperor.

"Tang Rao, we trust you."

With that, Lei Li closed her eyes, waiting for the pivotal moment.

Following Lei Li's lead, Bai Xiaotong also sat at the Array's center, waiting alongside her.

Time ticked away, thunder roared, the first Heavenly Tribulation, the second. The initial few weren't significant, but the slightly larger ones later on were all blocked by Tang Rao for the two.

The Ninth Heavenly Tribulation was like the previous ones; aside from being slightly stronger, they were nothing to Tang Rao.

Soon, the Heavenly Tribulation ended, and two beams of golden light transmitted from the horizon.

"Remember, once you're out of the circle, stay put and wait for me. Don't leave with strangers. If you can't hold on, just shout my name!"

Tang Rao, having shielded both from the Heavenly Tribulation as if it were nothing, shared his last words, then watched the two disappear with the golden light.

"Looks like I'll need to return early too, or Lei Li and Aunt will be snatched by obscure sects as soon as they exit the Energy Circle."

Tang Rao pulled out an Immortal Crystal, focusing on his destination. As the crystal heated up, it whisked Tang Rao into a tunnel.

After three days, at the cost of one talisman, Tang Rao felt the four remaining in his Space Ring. Unless necessary for saving lives or retrieving items, he couldn't bear to use them otherwise.

At the end of the tunnel, Tang Rao arrived where he first came.

Upon receiving the news early, people here had stationed guards near the Energy Circle.

Sadly, even though Tang Rao was there, Lei Li and Bai Xiaotong hadn't appeared yet.

"Have you heard? Newcomers will soon arrive in the Land of Immortals. It's been so long since we've had new arrivals; our livelihoods are almost jeopardized."

Ha ha ha ha, sighed a few people who had been standing guard near the Energy Circle for a long time.

"Look, the Energy Circle is beginning to fluctuate. Those inside should emerge soon; we wonder where they're being transmitted from this time."

Hearing this, Tang Rao perked up, keen to see what color the Energy Circle would be when Lei Li and Bai Xiaotong appeared.

The Energy Circle's fluctuations grew more intense, with Lei Li leading, followed by Bai Xiaotong, the former in red, the latter in purple.
