I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God

Chapter 585

Jiang Zhi nodded, and although she had lost hope, she still politely replied, "Your wisdom is unparalleled, senior."

"No wonder," Gong Chen chuckled knowingly. No wonder she thought he was her hope of escape.

The ability to kill all the Shadow Wolves on Dark Shadow Island was indeed worthy of being considered a hope.

"You're mistaken. I didn't kill these Shadow Wolves."

Jiang Zhi was surprised, and then the light in her eyes completely disappeared.

"But you don't need to be disappointed," Gong Chen said calmly. "Although I didn't kill them, it was my master, to whom I've pledged allegiance, who did."

"Not only that, but my ability to use my cultivation freely on this island is also a power he gave me."

"While I can't be your hope of escape, he can."

In an instant, the light in Jiang Zhi's eyes rekindled.

"Of course!"

Gong Chen declared confidently, believing it wholeheartedly.

"My master can not only come and go from Dark Shadow Island at will, but he can also dominate it."

"On this island devoid of spiritual energy, where he allows life, there is vitality. Where he doesn't, it's a dead zone."

With just a few words, the light in Jiang Zhi's eyes turned to utter astonishment.

"May I ask... who is senior's master in the Immortal Realm?" she inquired cautiously. After all, she was a figure in the Immortal Realm herself.

She had heard of many famous and even legendary figures, but she couldn't think of any big shot that matched the description of this master.

"Hmph." Gong Chen snorted disdainfully. "Those are nothing. My master is a figure who keeps a low profile in the Immortal Realm. How could others casually hear of him?"

"Yes, yes, senior's words are absolutely right," Jiang Zhi quickly agreed. "This junior truly can't think of any title that could match him."

In her heart, however, waves of shock were surging.

If even those legendary figures couldn't compare to this person on Dark Shadow Island, how powerful must he be!

Gong Chen looked at Jiang Zhi with satisfaction. "The reason I came to find you this time is also because of my master's orders."

"He needs to recruit people at least at the Reincarnation Realm to serve him. I've been observing you for some time now. I can see that you're resilient and of good character."

"Are you willing to follow my master?"

Gong Chen got straight to the point about his intentions.

Jiang Zhi looked at Gong Chen in disbelief, overjoyed!

No wonder the elders in her clan had used the Celestial Plate to divine that her luck was rare in ten thousand years, so this was it!

She had thought she would perish on Dark Shadow Island, but unexpectedly found a chance for life here!

It truly was a case of finding hope in despair!

"Of course I'm willing!" Jiang Zhi could barely contain her excitement.

This response was clearly within Gong Chen's expectations. He didn't think anyone would refuse to serve a master so incredibly powerful.

"Very well, come with me." Gong Chen was about to fly off.

Remembering that Jiang Zhi couldn't use her cultivation, he turned back, grabbed her from the ground, and flew away.

In the blink of an eye, the two had landed steadily in a place.

Right in front of them was a simple, ancient-looking courtyard.

Jiang Zhi was amazed.

Following Gong Chen into the courtyard, Jiang Zhi's body stiffened in shock.

She had thought that this person was powerful enough to control life and death on Dark Shadow Island, but she never imagined he could build an independent dwelling in such a place without being eroded by wind and sand.

Moreover... it was an independent world...

"You can feel the difference here too, can't you?" Gong Chen smiled knowingly. "Didn't you feel your body start to heal the moment you entered?"

Jiang Zhi nodded vigorously, her voice trembling with excitement, "Did your master create this world? It seems... even the air has such an incredibly potent healing ability..."

Gong Chen nodded calmly, "If the master were here, he might reward you with a few grapes." He pointed to the back garden, "Those aren't ordinary vegetables and fruits. Just one grape can not only heal you completely but also help you break through your cultivation bottleneck!"

Jiang Zhi listened in even greater disbelief. This... she had never heard of such a powerful existence!

Be it people, grapes, or this entire realm.

Just a casually grown grape was superior to top-tier immortal pills from the Immortal Realm!

Not only could it heal a body ravaged by Dark Shadow Island, but it could also break through cultivation bottlenecks.

It's worth noting that in the Immortal Realm, every bottleneck above the Heavenly Immortal level is extremely difficult to overcome.

Above the Profound Immortal level, each stage becomes increasingly difficult, with bottlenecks that are harder and harder to break through!

It was terrifyingly impressive...

As they were talking, a person carrying a hoe walked out of the courtyard. Seeing Gong Chen and Jiang Zhi, he greeted them.

"Old Gong, you've found another person above the Reincarnation Realm for the master, eh? The master will reward you again when he returns, congratulations!"

"That's right, who knows if he'll break through again," a plump woman carrying a basket chimed in as she walked out. "Old Gong, you really lucked out with such a cushy job."

"Unlike us, who can only till the soil, weed, and do some harvesting work."

Gong Chen smiled and responded, then turned back to Jiang Zhi, "The master isn't here, and I don't have the courage to pick fruits from the back garden for you. Just stay here for a while and let your injuries heal."

"After you've recovered, you'll have to leave. You can't stay here long before the master returns to confirm."

"Yes, of course."

At this moment, Jiang Zhi wasn't just trembling in her tongue, but her very heart was quivering.

From uncertainty, from nervousness, and also from excitement.

Gong Chen continued: "After the master returns, I'll send you a message. Then you can come back to meet the master in person."

"If the master agrees, you can stay."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhi couldn't help but ask, "When will your master return?"

She didn't want to stay outside for a moment longer.

"Nobody knows," Gong Chen seemed a bit displeased with Jiang Zhi's question. "How could outsiders casually know the master's whereabouts?"

"I see." Jiang Zhi quickly lowered her head and apologized, "This junior was presumptuous. Please forgive me, senior!"

"Never mind," Gong Chen waved his hand. "Just wait for my message, and don't die on Dark Shadow Island in the meantime."

"Rest assured, senior. Before your master returns, I will definitely stay alive," Jiang Zhi responded decisively.

This time, she had encountered not just hope for escape, but a great stroke of luck for her entire immortal journey!

No matter what, she had to seize this opportunity!
