Chapter 29: The True Face of Beast Island

“I’m just curious, who is the real father of True Sword?”

Holy crap! All the immortals watching Chen Xi’s live stream exploded.

Chen Xi was truly poisonous, just a few words from him somehow had the effect of brainwashing people.

It was well known that Sect Master Lingyun never publicly acknowledged a Dao companion. And Immortal True Sword had always been assumed to be his biological son. But in reality, no one really knew the true background of Immortal True Sword. Now, with Chen Xi raising this doubt, people couldn’t help but feel that his words seemed to make some sense.

In their hearts, they secretly speculated that Sect Master Lingyun might have really been “^[1]“Greened” (被绿了) is a Chinese internet slang term that means someone has been cheated on by their romantic partner, implying that they have been made a cuckold.greened”!

As for the Qingyun Sect, Sect Master Lingyun had realized something was wrong as soon as Chen Xi started asking questions. He slapped down on the water mirror, shattering it. But even though the mirror shattered, the sound was still clear enough to be heard.

The disciples of Qingyun Sect standing around Sect Master Lingyun shrank their necks and silently cursed Chen Xi for being a troublemaker. Although they couldn’t help but recall the appearance of Immortal True Sword and even secretly compared him with Sect Master Lingyun, their attitudes were now completely different. The more they looked, the more it felt strange, and they thought they had figured out the sect master’s great secret. They were afraid of being silenced.

The subtle atmosphere around them also affected Sect Master Lingyun. Even though no one dared to bring it up, just the suspicious looks in their eyes were enough to make him feel dizzy with anger.

Sect Master Lingyun had achieved great success at a young age. In just a few hundred years, he became one of the three great arbiters of the Lower Three Immortal Realm. In his lifetime, he had never suffered such humiliation, nor had anyone dared to insult him like this. Only Chen Xi, this reckless mortal who didn’t know his place, not only mocked and insulted him, but also deliberately provoked him. Adding to that the grudge with Immortal True Sword, there was no way he would ever forgive Chen Xi.

The terrifying aura of a top-tier Daluo Golden Immortal burst forth in an instant. However, despite this, it couldn’t affect Chen Xi on Beast Island, not even in the slightest.

On the other hand, Chen Xi, holding onto the matter of the emblem, spent the entire live stream berating Sect Master Lingyun. And at the end, he even smiled at Lingyun Immortal and said, “Although it seems like I’ve been targeting Sect Master Lingyun, in reality, Sect Master Lingyun is actually my greatest benefactor.”

“After all, it was you who made me. If it weren’t for you creating that useless puppet, Immortal Wuyi, how could I have secured my place on the Heaven’s Path Rankings? How could I have become the master of Beast Island?”

“Sect Master Lingyun, everything I’ve achieved today is thanks to you. Really, thank you so much! And in the end, aren’t you going to tell everyone who True Sword’s real father is?”

This was a live stream, and in just half an hour, nearly the entire Lower Three Immortal Realm had heard Chen Xi’s mockery of Sect Master Lingyun.

In the Xianji Immortal Domain, many immortals gathered together, listening while applauding.

“Well said! That old turtle, I’ve been wanting to kick him in the face for a long time!”

“Isn’t that right? Now, in the entire Lower Three Immortal Realm, I only respect Chen Xi. Such courage, such eloquence, and such spirit!”

“And did you all notice? Sect Master Lingyun, he just takes the insults without saying a word. He doesn’t dare speak up, so it’s clear that Chen Xi has scared him.”

“What else can he do? Behind Chen Xi stands not just Beast Island, but also countless celestial beasts!”

“I really hope Chen Xi will take Sect Master Lingyun’s place. That way, life for us immortals in the Lower Three Immortal Realm would be much better.”

The immortals in the Xianji Immortal Domain, who had never gotten along with the Qingyun Sect, naturally cheered for Chen Xi after hearing this. But after feeling relieved, they couldn’t help but worry about him. After all, Sect Master Lingyun wasn’t someone easy to deal with. Plus, things on Beast Island were unstable, with lower-level immortals preparing to leave the island. No matter how you looked at it, they were at a disadvantage.

However, Chen Xi would later prove with an even more earth-shattering event that he wasn’t reckless, but rather had planned everything carefully.

Because, in his eyes, both the Qingyun Sect and Sect Master Lingyun were nothing to worry about.

“I know many of you don’t understand why I dared to go after a Daluo Golden Immortal. Today, I’ll show you the true power that we, on Beast Island, possess.”

As Chen Xi’s words fell, the sky and earth instantly changed color. At the same time, Goudan appropriately revealed its true form.

It was as if a blank painting scroll appeared out of nowhere, with Goudan as the pen in Chen Xi’s hand, and Chen Xi himself as the one painting, while the former Beast Island secret realm served as the source of paint—the spiritual veins.

No one could have predicted that beneath Beast Island, there truly were spiritual veins. The reason they hadn’t manifested was simply because the divine artifact had no master. But now, with Chen Xi inheriting Beast Island, the truths hidden beneath the array’s disguise finally surfaced for everyone to see.

It turned out that the mountains weren’t mountains, but massive natural cat climbing frames. The lakes weren’t lakes, but cat jumping platforms made from lotus flowers and willow trees by the lakeside. As for the places once planned by Immortal Wuyi and others as residences for immortals, the soft mats on the ground indirectly proved their purpose—they were merely indoor playgrounds for the cats.

The crowd immediately had an epiphany.

No wonder there were so many celestial beasts from the Yuehua Clan on the island. This wasn’t Beast Island at all, it was clearly a giant cat nest made for the celestial beasts of the Yuehua Clan by Immortal Xi Chen.

As for the few dilapidated houses and pavilions Chen Xi mentioned during the last live stream, they were actually the real residences for immortals. Not only were they closest to the spiritual veins, but the stability of the immortal spiritual power was also better. Most importantly, the concentration of the immortal spiritual power far exceeded the standards of the Lower Three Immortal Realm and could even rival that of the Middle Three Immortal Domain.

If one could cultivate here, they would see results with half the effort. Some said even the Daluo Golden Immortals from the Middle Three Immortal Domain would be tempted by this.

And this, in fact, was the real capital behind Chen Xi’s demand for the Daluo Golden Immortals to pledge loyalty to him.

“Oh my god, so Beast Island has such a purpose.” The immortals who witnessed this were all dumbfounded, not sure of how to react. Meanwhile, those Daluo Golden Immortals who had once looked down on Chen Xi and thought he was dreaming now regretted to the core, wishing they could rush to Beast Island immediately and express their loyalty to him.

But it was all too late. Chen Xi had already made it clear that the immortals on Beast Island were enough.

At the same time, the Heavenly Path Rankings appeared again. The familiar auspicious colors and the subtle sense of oppression were present. However, for the immortals at the moment, these things didn’t matter. What mattered was Chen Xi’s rank on the list…
