Mu Chen Gets a Surprise Visit from the Water Meter Inspector, Bustling Public District

When Chen Yi himself took action, the effect was naturally extraordinary!

What his avatar couldn’t accomplish, his true form achieved in less than half a minute—refining this strand of quasi-immortal origin that contained three cultivation paths, nine divine ascension laws, and encompassed 36,000 deduction rules. He completely purged the unique imprint of the Western Sea Realm, leaving only the most fundamental framework!

"Here, take it!"

Without hesitation, Chen Yi shoved this purified quasi-immortal origin into the mouth of the Purple Star Heavenly Dao, casually ruffling its fluffy head in the process.

Honestly, as expected of a Heavenly Dao’s manifested form—the texture was incredibly satisfying.

"Mew~ Brother Yi is the best!"

The Purple Star Heavenly Dao bounced excitedly before swiftly darting back into the fabric of the world, the quasi-immortal origin clenched in its jaws.

With the ultra-powerful core of the Flying Star Heavenly Dao boosting its performance, the Purple Star Heavenly Dao quickly began reconstructing the quasi-immortal path based on the origin’s framework.

Buzz… buzz…

The heavens trembled faintly as the Purple Star Heavenly Dao frantically mobilized countless laws for deduction.

Compared to previous attempts to reopen the quasi-immortal path, the commotion this time was far milder.

No earth-shaking tremors, no sun and moon reversing…

Mortals and ordinary cultivators noticed nothing, going about their lives as usual.

Only a handful of cultivators who had reached the Divine Transformation stage or higher sensed something amiss.

Among them was Mu Chen, the leader of Group 98.

And once again, he began to panic.

"Wait, what are Brother Yi and the Heavenly Dao up to now?"

"Laws fading, causality in chaos… It looks like they’re reopening the immortal path?"

"That should be a good thing, so why do I have this ominous feeling?"

Mu Chen grew increasingly uneasy. After a moment’s hesitation, he decided to forgo witnessing this historic moment and instead seek refuge in the world of a low-ranking group member.

But just as he was about to act—

Buzz!

The void rippled, and an elder clad in a flowing robe of yin-yang taiji patterns, exuding an ethereal aura akin to an immortal, stepped forth.

Mu Chen’s body stiffened as he instantly recognized this surviving loose immortal—a true heavyweight. He hastily bowed in respect. "This junior pays his respects to Senior Xuanxuzi of the Taixu Sacred Land!"

"Save the pleasantries—they won’t help you!" Xuanxuzi, the Heavenly Dao loose immortal, waved him off before fixing Mu Chen with a piercing gaze. "Finally found you, one who shouldn’t exist in this world. Speak! What is your purpose in reincarnating into the Purple Star Continent?"

A crushing pressure erupted, and Mu Chen was instantly drenched in cold sweat.

Oh no!

His identity as an otherworldly demon had been exposed!

And they were asking why he reincarnated here?

How should I know?!

He just… got lucky and somehow ended up here.

He was innocent! He’d never done anything evil!

Isn’t Brother Yi also an otherworldly demon? Why aren’t you going after him instead?!

Brother Yi, save me!!!

Without hesitation, Mu Chen sent a desperate private message to Chen Yi.

[Back-to-the-Crowd (Group 98 Leader): Brother Yi, HELP!!!] x3

Important things had to be said three times.

But alas, Chen Yi was currently assisting the Purple Star Heavenly Dao and ignoring all private messages except critical group notices.

Seeing the unread status, Mu Chen gulped hard and forced out a reply: "Senior Xuanxuzi, there might be some misunderstanding here. I and the—"

Before he could finish—

BOOM!

The void trembled violently again.

A brawny, muscle-bound giant with explosive power barged in.

"Old Xuan, why waste words on him? The Heavenly Dao is at a critical juncture—just deal with him!"

Mu Chen shuddered. Another ruthless figure—Zhang Kuang, the loose immortal survivor and leader of the Extreme Dao Artifact Sect!

Heavens, he’s after me too!

With no time to lose, Mu Chen roared: "No! You can’t kill me! The Calamity Sovereign is my brother!!!"

"Silence!" Xuanxuzi flicked his sleeve, sending Mu Chen crashing to the ground.

Zhang Kuang cracked his neck, grinning like a predator. "Heh, Old Xuan, this is the eighteenth one claiming ties to that kid. I don’t get it—that brat stays holed up in the Illusory Star Cave all day. How does he have so many ‘relatives’?"

Xuanxuzi chuckled. "Blame his reputation. Who wouldn’t want the ‘world’s strongest’ as their big brother?"

Pinned to the ground, Mu Chen still managed to lift his head and howl: "No! It’s true! Chen Yi really is my brother! He calls me ‘Little Mu’! Go ask him if you don’t believe me!!!"

The two loose immortals looked at him like he was an idiot.

"Shut it, you otherworldly demon. Every single one of you claims ties to Chen Yi. What, betting we won’t dare verify it with him directly?!"

Zhang Kuang snorted, his muscles bulging as he reached for Mu Chen with terrifying strength.

"I’m telling the truth!!!" Mu Chen’s eyes nearly burst from desperation.

But resistance was futile against a Heavenly Dao loose immortal. Zhang Kuang seized him, ready to refine him on the spot!

"Easy, Little Zhang. Don’t crush him outright—squeeze out his secrets first," Xuanxuzi reminded calmly.

"Relax, I know my limits." Zhang Kuang nodded before flashing Mu Chen a vicious smile.
