Wandering Isle

The climate of the Wandering Isle is spring-like all year round, with a beautiful environment. On Shen-zin Su's back, there are mountains, waterfalls, lakes, rivers, and forests, making it suitable for almost any creature to survive.

The arrival of Galen and his party did not disrupt the peaceful life of the pandaren. The Sea Eagle returned to Stromgarde after delivering them.

However, this magical island also stunned the Sea Eagle's captain, Taylor!

This Alliance naval commander had sailed the seas for over a decade, eliminating no less than eight to ten thousand pirates, but he had never seen a moving island!

It roams within the Endless Sea, surrounded by a thick mist, woven by the textile masters among the pandaren, used to conceal Shen-zin Su's massive body!

This makes Shen-zin Su appear as a cloud of mist on the sea when moving, and any adventurers who enter it without permission will become lost in the mist, eventually being sent out unknowingly by the monks.

However, Old Chen was on board the Sea Eagle. This famous brewmaster and wanderer of the Wandering Isle directly used his connections to allow Galen's family to visit the island, but only Galen's family of five, plus Misha and her pet...master, Rexxar.

After meeting Li Li's family, the overly excited little pandaren took Legolas and Arathor, along with her younger brother, Shaohao, to tour the entire Wu Song Village and the Shang Xi Training Grounds where they studied, even relying on Misha's powerful combat abilities to seek revenge on the thieving monkeys.

As for Galen and the others, after leaving Rexxar as a bodyguard to protect the children, they took Cheng Bo's ox cart to the Temple of the Five Dawns in the center of the Wandering Isle to visit the venerable Master Shang Xi.

"Brother, last night Li Li asked me if I could take her with me on my next pilgrimage!"

Old Chen said to his brother Cheng Bo, who was driving the ox cart, sitting in the back.

"No way! Tell her not to even think about it!"

Cheng Bo refused without looking up, which made Old Chen a little dissatisfied, and his rebellious spirit rose, directly questioning him: "Why? You should know Li Li's thoughts, she doesn't want to stay on the Wandering Isle her whole life, she wants to become a wanderer!"

Cheng Bo looked at his brother's impassioned words, and his stubborn temper also flared up: "Chen, I know Li Li admires you, and even stays up late at night to secretly read your travel logs!"

Cheng Bo's arm forcefully pulled on the ox cart's reins a bit, ensuring that it wouldn't deviate from the mountain road and cause it to overturn, "You are the most talented monk in the Temple of the Five Dawns in a hundred years, originally you could have guarded the Wandering Isle, but you chose to become a wanderer, but Li Li can't, I don't want her to wander outside like you, even being unable to return when her brother gets married!"

Li Li's desire to go out and adventure was almost written on her face these past few days. In the original timeline, she did get her wish and left the Wandering Isle.

It was the eve of the Ghost Festival for the pandaren when Cheng Bo discovered Li Li pretending to sleep and reading Chen's diary. The next day, when the other children on the island were performing, people discovered that Li Li was actually asleep on stage in front of all the island's residents.

Because of disagreements about the meaning and importance of this festival, Li Li had a fight with her father.

Out of concern, Cheng Bo asked Li Li's teacher, Strongbo, to persuade Li Li to return.

Strongbo was Old Chen's childhood friend. When Old Chen wanted to travel, Strongbo believed that they only needed to stay in their hometown forever.

It can be seen that even among the descendants of pandaren who are brave enough to travel, there will be descendants whose thoughts are biased towards conservatism.

After Strongbo failed to persuade Li Li, he directly chose to take Li Li on a trip. They traveled through the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor.

In an accident, Li Li was kidnapped and interrogated about an ancient artifact called the "Pandaria Pearl." In the midst of the crisis, Old Chen, who happened to be traveling in Kalimdor, arrived in time to rescue Li Li, but Strongbo died from his injuries. Later, Chen took Li Li back to the Wandering Isle together.

Galen and the Windrunner sisters had already heard that Cheng Bo Stormstout and Strongbo had the same thoughts, he felt that they should stay safely on the Wandering Isle, and Old Chen's unannounced departure made him feel abandoned.

Because of Old Chen's departure, he missed his older brother's wedding, as well as the birth of Li Li and Shaohao, and the accidental death of Cheng Bo's wife, among many other important events.

Seeing Galen's eye signals, Old Chen frowned, he also understood the reason for his brother's anger: "Brother, you're blaming me, aren't you? My recklessness hurt your heart!"

"Don't say anymore, Chen, everything is in the past, I hope you can persuade Li Li, you also don't want Shaohao and I to worry about Li Li, those days are too torturous."

Old Chen was speechless, how could he possibly persuade her about this kind of thing? Li Li had the same temperament as him, if his older brother kept restricting her and not letting her travel, she would probably run away from home like him...

Old Chen looked at his great lord for help, hoping that he could have a solution to the problem.

"Cheng Bo, do you know about mages?"

Old Chen had something to ask for, so Galen had to step up, that's what a good boss does.

"Mages?"

Cheng Bo had heard of them, although more pandaren on the Wandering Isle cultivated the monk's chi, there were also some mages who cultivated arcane energy, but the pandaren were naturally peaceful and would not abuse magic.

Seeing Cheng Bo nod, Galen continued: "Now the magic of the outside world is very developed, you pandaren of the Wandering Isle and Pandaria have been isolated from the world for too long, this time I'm going to find Master Shang Xi, I want to establish a permanent portal between my country and the Wandering Isle, so that the pandaren who go out to study can go to our human kingdoms through the portal."

Cheng Bo vaguely scratched the back of his head, could there really be such an operation?

"Moreover, we can also install a positioning spell on Li Li, and when she is in danger, we can teleport her back, or we can teleport over to rescue her, it can be said to be worry-free, you see, my wife and I are at ease leaving our two children behind, it's because of the existence of teleportation magic!"

At this time, Alleria and Sylvanas also chimed in, persuading Cheng Bo, who was already somewhat swayed.

"That's right, Cheng Bo, my sisters and I have encountered many formidable enemies, and Galen teleported over to save us."

The Windrunner sisters saw that Legolas and Arathor liked Li Li, this active pandaren, very much, and wanted to bring her along to accompany their two children.

"In that case..."

Cheng Bo was a little shaken, "I can temporarily agree to this request, but I need Master Shang Xi to also approve of you building the portal first!"

Master Shangxi is the most senior member of the Wandering Isle and the mentor of all the monks on the island, as well as the abbot of the Five Dawn Temple. No one knows how old he is; he is very mysterious. Some even say that Master Shangxi followed Liu Lang from Pandaria as a pandaren.

Cheng Bo doesn't believe this rumor. After all, Liu Lang was a pandaren from thousands of years ago, and no pandaren could live that long!

The ox cart passed through the fields, and soon entered the vicinity of the Five Dawn Temple.

The Five Dawn Temple occupies a large area. It is the largest armed force on the Wandering Isle, specializing in training combat monks. Many legendary monks have emerged from here, such as Old Chen, and Ai Sha Lian Yun'ge and Ji Huo Zhang.

Galen looked up at this familiar architectural style, and felt that his whole soul was comfortable!

Led by Old Chen and Cheng Bo, Galen and Aulelia, Sylvanas, three aliens, stepped onto the steps leading to the Five Dawn Temple, attracting the attention of many curious pandaren along the way.

Following those ancient steps, Galen and the others soon arrived at the main hall on the top of the mountain, where an old pandaren was already standing on the steps.

This pandaren was leaning on a rather thick wooden staff, with a red lantern tied to the curved top of the staff, and a white beard on his chin.

He is Master Shangxi, the abbot of the Five Dawn Temple. The pandaren monk that Galen played in his previous life was taught from the novice tasks he issued.

The Stormstout brothers bowed to the old pandaren with their hands clasped together: "Master Shangxi!"

"Chen! You're back!"

"And you, guests from afar... Welcome to you."

Master Shangxi's chubby face was smiling, coupled with his mustache and white eyebrows, he looked particularly kind.

"Very happy to meet you, Master Shangxi! I am Galen Torebayne! This is my wife Aulelia Windrunner and Sylvanas Windrunner. We are all from the Alliance of the Eastern Continent, and I am the leader of the Alliance!"

After the two sides introduced themselves, Master Shangxi led them into the main hall of the Five Dawn Temple. In the center of the hall, there was a huge statue of a pandaren riding a tortoise, which should be Liu Lang and Shen Zhenzi.

The two sisters, Aulelia and Sylvanas, were very curious about the decoration style of the main hall, after all, it was very different from the style of the Alliance countries.

"I also traveled to the Eastern Continent in my early years. At that time, your humans were still in a state of division. I didn't expect that after decades, you have united again."

"It's just a matter of sticking together for warmth. Azeroth has powerful enemies outside, and we need to unite all races to have more powerful strength. This time, my trip is to go to Pandaria to persuade the Four Celestials and the Shadow Pan to join us."

Master Shangxi's smiling expression faded slightly, revealing a bit of solemnity.

"I'm afraid this will be difficult. Since Liu Lang and his wife sat down in the Zen Staff Forest, Shen Zhenzi hasn't returned to Pandaria for hundreds of years!"

The old panda stroked his mustache back and forth with his thumb and forefinger, looking a little embarrassed: "Now even I have difficulty communicating with Shen Zhenzi."

Galen knew that this group of pandaren was unwilling to disturb Shen Zhenzi unless there was a major life-or-death event, it wasn't that they really couldn't contact him.

In the original timeline, the Alliance airship Skyfire crashed after fighting Deathwing and was defeated. The main body of the warship pierced a big hole in Shen Zhenzi's back like a cone, and it kept bleeding.

The severe pain made Shen Zhenzi tremble uncontrollably, which led to the earthquake on the Wandering Isle. The pandaren had to find the four elemental spirits of the Wandering Isle and let the four spirits of earth, fire, wind, and water give them the ability to communicate with Shen Zhenzi, so as to understand what Shen Zhenzi's pain was all about.

Galen knew all of this, but his perception of the pandaren was heavily filtered, and he was naturally close to this race. Moreover, he didn't need Shen Zhenzi to find Pandaria.

"Master Shangxi, I don't need Shen Zhenzi to find Pandaria. In fact, our ancestors have a strong sense of the Four Celestials of Pandaria. Through this sense, I can accurately locate their position, so as to cross the mist that shrouds Pandaria."

The feeling is real, the ancestors are fake. When Pandaria was separated from the Big Bang, the ancestors of mankind were still drinking blood in the Arathi Highlands.

However, ten thousand years ago, after Galen established the night elf base, he sent a small team of night elf archers and druids into the hinterland of Pandaria.

After the War of the Ancients, the night elves gained eternal life, and Galen's night elf units were also able to live forever. This team has been staying in Pandaria, and even helped Galen explore the map of Pandaria completely for ten thousand years.

Galen can reach Pandaria with a simple teleportation, but the time is not right.

In addition to using night elf units to locate, Galen also obtained the blueprint of Azeroth in the Halls of Origination in Uldum.

That is a map from Titan technology, that is a high-end product that is more accurate than satellite positioning, and Shao Hao's mist black technology cannot stop the Titan official's full map cheat.

Galen's words were half true and half false, and the bragging made the old panda Shangxi stunned. No matter how respected he was, he could not escape the limitations of the small world of the Wandering Isle on him.

"Master Shangxi, I don't know if the pandaren of the Wandering Isle have any ideas about returning to Pandaria? Maybe we can form an alliance and move forward together?"

The night elves, humans, dwarves, gnomes, high elves and the Burning Legion are fighting to the death, and the pandaren are hiding in the mist and enjoying the benefits. Even if you are pandas, it won't work!

One thing is one thing, Galen will not waste the combat power of the Shadow Pan and the Four Celestials for his own preference.

Azeroth needs you!

Fight for Azeroth, pandaren, taunka, hozen, jinyu!

And the mogu, mantid, become my Crusader's vassals!

"In recent years, the young people of the Wandering Isle have indeed become more yearning for the outside world than before. We have been on Shen Zhenzi's back for too long."

As the leader of the Five Dawn Temple, Master Shangxi certainly understands that the conflict between the earth and water faction and the fire and gold faction in the monks has become increasingly serious in recent years. The Wandering Isle is still too small to trap them.

"Cheng Bo, please go and find Aisha and Ji, I have important things to tell them!"

"I'll go now, Master Shangxi!"

Cheng Bo's round body ran out, stepping on the railings with his legs, and went down the mountain in a puff of smoke!
