Chen Shi smiled and said, "Yang Bi, you've misunderstood me."

Yang Bi snorted. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Chen Shi said solemnly, "The Immortal Emperor Supreme has been herding the Xunjiang Star Domain, causing our West Bull New Continent to be shrouded in darkness for sixteen thousand years, resulting in countless tragic deaths of living beings. How could I collude with the Immortal Court? In addition to the grudge against the Jie Sect, as the Sect Leader, I cannot align myself with the Three Pure Ones Realm."

Yang Bi said coldly, "I fear the True King has long forgotten the deep-seated hatred of the Blood Sea in the West Bull New Continent!"

Chen Shi said earnestly, "I have never dared to forget."

Yang Bi's expression relaxed slightly and said, "So, if you're associating with the Immortal Court and getting involved with Huangfu Jun, there must be a reason."

"No," Chen Shi said.

Yang Bi's hostility immediately surged again, and Chen Shi laughed and said, "I am indeed involved with Huangfu Jun, but I haven't joined the Heavenly Court. I need to obtain the true Sutra of Eternal Freedom from Huangfu Jun, yet my relationship with him is not as close as my relationship with you. You and I are true friends."

Yang Bi's expression relaxed and he said, "The True King still has some troubles. You remain loyal to the Heavenly Court."

"I truly don't."

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "The Great Heavenly Venerate and the Heavenly Court oppress the immortals, King Li caused countless immortals to perish, how could I be loyal to the Heavenly Court? My only loyalty is to the Heavenly Immortal Realm."

Yang Bi was perplexed, "Heavenly Immortal Realm? What place is that?"

"It is the West Bull New Continent!"

Chen Shi's expression was excited and passionate as he laughed and said, "The current West Bull New Continent is the Heavenly Immortal Realm! I am not loyal to the Heavenly Court, nor do I collude with the Immortal Court! It doesn't matter to me who wins or loses, who triumphs or fails between the Great Heavenly Venerate and the Immortal Emperor Supreme. The Heavenly Immortal Realm is what I truly desire! Yang Bi, do you know? Back when you and Li Tianqing left the Heavenly Immortal Realm together, you were taken away by Dou Mu. Where did Li Tianqing go?"

His eyes were sparkling, and he said urgently, "Tianqing ascended to the Heavenly Immortal Realm! He is now the leader in the Heavenly Immortal Realm."

Yang Bi was even more perplexed, Li Tianqing ascended to the West Bull New Continent?

How did he ascend to the Dark Sea?

Ascension requires two Heavenly Dao Treasures. One is the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy, which records all Harmonizers from the Xuanhuang Sea to the Dark Sea. The second is the Jade Balance Gate, which has the power to guide the Ascenders.

However, the Heavenly Dao Treasures were destroyed. How did the West Bull New Continent bring in the Harmonizers for ascension?

Chen Shi laughed and said, "Brother Yang hasn't returned to his homeland for a long time. The West Bull New Continent is now extraordinary, having completed the Heavenly Dao, expanded numerous times over, with countless Immortal Mountains and Holy Lands appearing, so many Ascended Daoists have began to call it the Heavenly Immortal Realm."

Yang Bi was greatly shocked, shaking his head repeatedly and said, "The West Bull New Continent is the Heavenly Immortal Realm? I don't believe it!"

Chen Shi sipped his tea and laughed, "If Daoist Yang returns to take a look, won't he know? The Heavenly Immortal Realm now possesses Heavenly Dao Treasures like the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy and Jade Balance Gate, guiding Ascended immortals. Does the Earth Immortal Realm have such Heavenly Dao Treasures? I fear not."

Yang Bi's voice was hoarse as he said, "The Heavenly Immortal Realm also has Heavenly Dao Treasures?"

Chen Shi poured him tea and smiled, "I refined them. The Heavenly Immortal Realm now has eleven Heavenly Dao Treasures, and the number continues to grow. Most critically, the West Bull New Continent has completed the Heavenly Dao, compensating for the Dark Sea Heavenly Dao, making the Heaven and Earth Great Dao more complete. The immortals ascending there are stronger than those ascending to places like the Earth Immortal Realm where the Heavenly Dao is incomplete."

Yang Bi stared at him intensely and said, "Even if the Heavenly Immortal Realm is much larger than before, it will eventually face the Immortal Gods' struggle! Completing the Heavenly Dao cannot make the Heavenly Immortal Realm broader than the Earth Immortal Realm!"

Chen Shi played with his teacup and laughed, "Luckily, we have a common good friend named Zhong Erniu."

Yang Bi coldly snorted and shook his head, "Zhong Wuwang is not my friend. The remnants of Despair Slope deserve death! But Zhong Wuwang is in the Western Heaven now, right? I've heard he became a monk."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "He already ascended to the Heavenly Immortal Realm."

Yang Bi frowned, also aware of Zhong Wuwang's Harmonization within.

Zhong Wuwang used Chen Shi's Innate Dao Embryo in the past, equivalent to possessing a miniature Golden Immortal Primordial Spirit. He dared not Harmonize with the Heaven and Earth, fearing it would let Heavenly Venerate take advantage, so he painstakingly created the Magic Skill of Harmonizing within his own Taoist Body.

This groundbreaking move was a tremendous feat.

Yang Bi now thinks that if the Heavenly Immortal Realm adopts internal Harmonization, then the tension around Immortal Mountain Holy Lands would ease.

"The Heavenly Immortal Realm will still have individuals seizing Immortal Mountain Holy Lands, and will ultimately be like the Earth Immortal Realm."

Yang Bi said, "When that happens, how will you handle it?"

Chen Shi asked, "What do you think of Penglai West now? All Immortal Mountain Holy Lands in Penglai West belong to Golden Turtle Island. The immortals occupying these Immortal Mountain Holy Lands only have usage rights; ownership still belongs to Golden Turtle Island. Golden Turtle Island has the right to reclaim these Immortal Mountain Holy Lands."

Yang Bi took a long breath, was silent for a while, and said bitterly, "So, the West Bull New Continent has become the Heavenly Immortal Realm?"

Chen Shi sipped his tea and nodded with a smile.

Yang Bi fell silent.

Back then, he was taken by Dou Mu, and later returned to search for Li Tianqing, hoping to take Li Tianqing to the Earth Immortal Realm for a promising future. However, he didn't find Li Tianqing.

He felt quite guilty, believing he failed to care for this good friend.

Returning to the West Bull New Continent required him to achieve success, to return in glory. Now, the Earth Immortal Realm is embroiled in the Immortal Gods' war, a time for someone of his caliber to make a name.

He didn't expect the West Bull New Continent led by Chen Shi to overturn the table, stop ascending, and instead attract immortals from other realms to ascend there!

Now the Earth Immortal Realm's Immortal Gods war intensifies, flooding the earth with blood. If one day, they tire and come to terms, or one side wins decisively and exterminates the other.

When they do, they'll find the Earth Immortal Realm is already a wasteland.

And beside the Earth Immortal Realm, a colossal entity known as the Heavenly Immortal Realm has emerged unnoticed. How would they react?

The immediate reaction would be to destroy the opposition! This was the first thought that came to Yang Bi's mind.

The Immortal Gods' struggle is the Earth Immortal Realm's internal conflict over resource distribution, a redistribution caused by unfair allocation.

But if the Heavenly Immortal Realm is as good as Chen Shi claims, it is upheaval!

Upheaval means the Earth Immortal Realm's system becomes entirely obsolete, worthless!

In the eyes of the Heavenly Immortal Realm's Immortal Gods, the Immortal Gods' war appears like fools fighting over useless things!

And the Li Tianqing he didn't find then, is likely to become a prominent figure in the Heavenly Immortal Realm by the time they discover it!

He feared Li Tianqing might struggle, so he wanted to take Li Tianqing to share wealth, yet he didn't want Li Tianqing to live too well.

After all, they hail from the same place. If Li Tianqing does much better, isn't it saying he's lesser?

Anyone with ambition doesn't want to be inferior.

Chen Shi rotated the teacup, smiling slightly, occasionally glancing sideways at him, and after some moments, coughed and said, "Yang Bi, your wife and children are still in the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Your son has grown up, his talent surely not weaker than yours back then."

Yang Bi exhaled deeply and said, "You want to bind me with emotional ties, to make me return to the West Bull New Continent?"

Chen Shi shook his head, "I'm saying, if one day you return to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and find your son has surpassed you, can beat you badly while calling you an old fool for abandoning wife and children, I fear you'll be unable to overpower him."

Yang Bi snorted, drained his cup of tea, and said solemnly, "My wife is virtuous, she wouldn't teach the child like that."

Still worried, he bowed and said, "Please True King, keep a place for me in the Heavenly Immortal Realm!"

"Of course. The Heavenly Immortal Realm is your homeland, naturally there's a place for you."

Chen Shi laughed heartily and said, "Since Daoist Yang is willing to recognize me as a friend, why have you laid so many masters in ambush in the clouds?"

Yang Bi waved his hand, and the clouds receded, revealing numerous Immortal Gods, evenly divided, with powerful auras.
