"Miss Lian, you're a Sword Cultivator, and so am I. How about we exchange insights on cultivation? My father is Lord Xutian. I've heard him give lectures..."

Lian Xinling was absolutely frustrated by this second-generation wastrel beside her—then again, he couldn't even really be considered a second-generation; he was just a useless person relying on his father's reputation.

Lord Xutian was a Unification

Stage Cultivator of the Sword Suspension Tower. The Sword Suspension Tower doesn't prohibit relationships with women, and Lord Xutian lived a long life, so he had many children—this was the common state for cultivators.

Of course, when Daoist couples didn't want children, they could rely on manipulating the Yin Yang energies for contraception. Therefore, while many high-order cultivators had many descendants, there were also those who didn't want any children.

However, what was different was that Lord Xutian had no Daoist couple. His children were all born from concubines.

Concubines were not entitled to refuse.

Lord Xutian didn't particularly like his children. Other than the one or two who were exceptionally capable, he basically didn't care about the rest. However, out of respect for Lord Xutian, people generally still offered his descendants some preferential treatment.

"I really don't understand how this fool managed to cultivate to the Golden Core Stage of Heart Intent Unity and Spiritual Core." Wang Qi found it slightly perplexing. As a Modern Cultivator, he found the research into cultivation itself very profound, so he didn't encounter any difficulties when crossing the barrier to the Golden Core Stage. However, Ancient Method Practitioners didn't have those conditions.

Zhen Chan remarked, "As long as there are resources, Ancient Method Practitioners can cultivate all the way up. Although cultivators who ascend by pill consumption are generally the weakest of their tier, their progress can't be stopped. It's said that during an era of Immortal Dao's prosperity, there were plenty of such cultivators."

"And then these cultivators found themselves cut off because there weren't any Spiritual Medicines aged over ten thousand years left in the world. Over the years, even the ten-thousand-year-old herbs became scarce, and eventually, even millennial ginseng became treasures." Wang Qi, familiar with this history, chimed in, "Speaking of which, does Spirit Phoenix Island even have such conditions? I mean... can Spirit Phoenix Island afford to cultivate a cultivator in such a luxurious way?"

"After all, he is a descendant of a Unification

Stage Cultivator, so having resources isn't hard to understand. That's how it works in Immortal Dao: the strong get stronger, and the weak get weaker. This is the Human Dao, taking from the insufficient to give to the abundant," Zhen Chan explained. "And besides, he might unexpectedly be very clever, you know?"

"Clever..." Wang Qi pondered for a moment, and he had some suspicions.

This place is different from Earth. Cultivators' power resides within themselves; public opinion holds no sway over them. On Earth, shouting 'My dad is Li Gang' would be sheer stupidity, but here, it's different. Lord Xutian's cultivation wouldn't drop just because people accused him of having a lawless son!

For this guy, being 'Lord Xutian's son' might very well be his only asset, right?

But in the next second, Wang Qi dismissed that thought.

A practitioner named Zhu Leyuan, when setting up 'food distribution points', didn't give it any thought, arranging them very irrationally. The points were so close together that it caused crowding. Then he ran over to flirt with Lian Xinling, without earnest supervision. Consequently, a moderate looting incident occurred.

And his way of solving it was utterly brutal. He simply used a few spells to strike down, eliminating everyone involved in the dispute!

How could one believe this guy was actually deeply intelligent?

Zhen Chan was also stunned for a while: "This... this idiot. While they may look down on mortal life, but... didn't that kid from the Heavenly Book Tower make it clear? This idiot, it looks like he's beyond saving."

"I truly don't understand why there are people like this in the world..." Wang Qi was dumbfounded. "Ancient Method Practitioners shouldn't all be like this, right?"

"This... perhaps it's just the harsh environment of Spirit Phoenix Island?" Zhen Chan was at a loss for words. "In my era, such... fools were also supposed to be rare."

In the harsh struggles of Immortal Dao, people like that usually perished early on.

—Perhaps, only in a distorted place like Spirit Phoenix Island would a person so senseless be born?

Due to the oppression of the Holy Emperor Venerable, the struggles within Immortal Dao weren't as brutal, giving fools the chance to rise by clinging to their parents. Additionally, because of the strategies of the Holy Emperor Venerable, the gap between cultivators and mortals was even greater than in Zhen Chan's time.

Wang Qi sighed: "I'm not someone who likes killing... but this is just right..."

He suddenly felt a bit stifled.

This island's distorted Human Dao really made him uncomfortable.

Zhen Chan felt Wang Qi was harboring thoughts of murder. He said, "You'd better hold your anger. If you provoke his father, Lord Xutian, you won't be able to hide anymore."

Mi also remarked, "I can't engage in battle right now. You'd better think it over!"

"It's alright... it's pretty safe..." Wang Qi shook his head, sighing: "I consider myself respectful of life, and I've been practicing the principle of not killing unless necessary. But this guy makes me think that sometimes it's better for certain fools to die out. Just right, I still have a Law Gate to verify on an enemy... let's try it on him."

As he spoke, Lian Xinjie was already following the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator from the Heavenly Book Tower over. At this time, he received Wang Qi's instructions, and stopped momentarily, slightly stunned.

The Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator roared, "Zhu Leyuan! What's going on? What on earth are you doing, you fool?"

"You said before, if someone causes trouble, just kill them." Zhu Leyuan's tone was relaxed, not caring at all, without even a hint of killing intent.

In his mind, killing mortals didn't count as slaughter.

"Useless thing..." The Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator sighed. Offending a real presence like Lord Xutian for something like "The Favor of the Holy Emperor Venerable," which is still in nihility, was very unwise. He waved his hand and said to Lian Xinjie, "You, send him back to the Sword Suspension Tower."

Zhu Leyuan's expression changed: "My father is Lord Xutian! How dare you treat me like this?"

In his view, sending him back to the Sword Suspension Tower was a blow to his face.

Lian Xinjie slowly flew in front of him and said, "Only showcasing your family is the behavior of a waste."

This statement was naturally a provocation at Wang Qi's behest.

This sentence made Zhu Leyuan's face change drastically. He raised his hand and swung a punch at Lian Xinjie's face. Lian Xinjie caught the punch with one hand, his body slightly sank, but he relied on the rigorous training of a Sword Cultivator to throw him away.

No one noticed that during their contact, he held the jade pendant at his waist in his hand.

A certain terrible spell had already been remotely implanted into Zhu Leyuan's body, rapidly growing as he circulated his energy.

The two quickly separated. Lian Xinjie said, "In the end, you're just a fool. I advise you to stop calling yourself the son of Lord Xutian in the future, to avoid disgracing that Sword Cultivator senior!"

"You bastard..." Zhu Leyuan's expression was resentful and poisonous, his handsome face full of hideousness. He shook his hand, casting a few spells, seemingly wanting to crush some mortals just in passing. It wasn't venting anger, but deliberately disgusting the opponents.

The Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator of the Heavenly Book Tower blocked these spells. This time, he was truly angry: "Now, get lost."

Among cultivators, the hierarchy was strict. Even if this fool was the son of Lord Xutian, he couldn't possibly become a Nascent Soul, and he had no qualifications to talk to him. He was polite to this fool only out of respect for Lord Xutian. Yet he repeatedly provoked him...

Zhu Leyuan was so angry that he left directly. Before leaving, he seemed to want to say one or two harsh words, turned around, and said: "You bunch of bastards, I will definitely deal with you. My father is..."

Suddenly, without any warning, a burst of blood exploded from his chest, dealing a devastating blow, shattering his entire chest cavity.

Things happened so suddenly that even the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator didn't react. This Heavenly Book Tower Cultivator woodenly watched the corpse fall, then picked it up. He examined it, and in shock said, "This guy, he actually died from the Sword Suspension Tower's... Severing Vein Thirteen Swords?"

This was clearly a technique of the Sword Suspension Tower!

His thoughts couldn't turn around for a moment. He watched as Lord Xutian's son, a Body Integration Realm Cultivator, died before him... Even though this son was a fool, however... he was after all the son of a Body Integration Realm Cultivator. Moreover... he died from the trademark Sword Qi Skill of the Sword Suspension Tower... What does this imply?

On the other side, upon sensing the situation here, Mi and Zhen Chan were also shocked beyond measure.

Zhen Chan asked in confusion, "When did you learn the Severing Vein Thirteen Swords Sword Qi of the Sword Suspension Tower? Even I don't know this trick..."

Wang Qi shook his head, "It's not that I know it, it's that fool knew it. I merely borrowed his power to explode his chest, that's all."

Zhen Chan was perplexed, "How did you... do it?"

"It's a sealing method I've been pondering for more than half a month. As long as the Taker says specific words, the spell will be triggered, then seizing others' mana and randomly combining it into the Law Gate the person has cultivated, applying it on them—seeing he likes to boast about his father so much, I casually set it to the words or similar phrases 'My father is'."

— Originally, it should have been 'system' or 'main god'...

Zhen Chan pondered, "If that's the case... maybe it makes sense then? This guy does have some talent in sword training, managing to cultivate the Severing Vein Thirteen Swords. However, in other aspects, he's just a fool..."

Mi blinked, "What if that person primarily cultivates defensive techniques... Human Clan has Body Refining Cultivators, right? The kind that uses fists in combat..."

"Oh, in that case, they might suddenly trigger a protective technique, and then it collapses, causing the physical body to be completely destroyed?" Wang Qi's tone was somewhat uncertain, "This spell is also my first time using it. My initial intention was to devise a curse, having all those who leaked the 'system' die by their specialty, creating a mysterious vibe—but I later realized, it's completely unnecessary! An ordinary wipeout would suffice."

Zhen Chan remained somewhat worried, "What if that Body Integration Realm Cultivator comes..."

"I probably still need about seven to nine days. As long as Lord Xutian doesn't attack Luochen Sword Palace right away, dragging it out for a few days should be possible, right?" Wang Qi maintained his usual expression, "To be fair, I almost qualify to use the Empirical Life of the Body Integration Realm..."

— Seven to nine days later...

Mi asked, "What do you call this trick?"

"Loser's Dust."
