Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1488 - 1486: Reveal Your True Face!

The transformation of a deserted island into a vibrant place is a slow process, not something that can be accomplished overnight; even a few years or decades is considered fast.

In just over a month, could a deserted island become a mid-class Spirit Island?

Specter couldn't believe it, yet Chu Shen had no reason to lie to her about this matter. Moreover, it hadn't been long since the end of the Constellation Palace event. Even if Chu Shen had come here immediately after the event ended, it had only been three months.

"Is the energy on the island still increasing?" Specter suddenly recalled a critical point.

Chu Shen replied, "It increases every day, especially after we set up the protective array; the increase is quite noticeable!"

Specter's eyes widened in shock: "Doesn't this mean..."

She didn't dare continue, but Chu Shen replied solemnly, "This is definitely not the final state of Unparalleled Island; in the future, it might become a high-class Spirit Island or even... a top-class Spirit Island!"

Specter couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Chu Shen left; he was currently the Palace Master of Unparalleled Palace and also the Island Master of Unparalleled Island. He had to personally oversee all the affairs, big and small, so he was quite busy. There were many places to stay on the island, so he let Specter choose a place to settle down peacefully, and then he went back to his work.

Specter walked out of the visitors hall, strolling around Unparalleled Island, feeling the decent stellar space energy on the island, which greatly improved her longtime foul mood.

She had originally been very reluctant about being forced by Fa Wuzun to come to Unparalleled Island. If not for the chance to visit the Merfolk Territory in the future, she wouldn't have bothered to pay attention.

But now it seemed that Fa Wuzun's actions brought her nothing but benefits and no harm. Not to mention, as long as she stayed within Unparalleled Island, she could cultivate without using spirit jade at any time.

Because of her unique cultivation, she had a significant demand for spirit jade. The more spirit jade she consumed, the faster her power progressed. Hence, whenever she had even a bit of spirit jade, it turned into her strength, presenting her as perpetually poor.

Just recently, Lu Ye had given her three hundred thousand spirit jade, which she had already used up. Right now, she was penniless, and even her subsequent cultivation posed a problem.

However, as long as she stayed on Unparalleled Island, she could enhance her strength even without spirit jade; it would merely be a bit slower.

Should Unparalleled Island eventually become a top-class Spirit Island in the future, she would have a rich cultivation ground even if she advanced to Moon Jade!

Realizing this, her previous dissatisfaction and resentment towards Fa Wuzun instantly vanished, and Specter even considered thanking him in person!

This Unparalleled Island is a treasure trove and she had to firmly establish a foothold here!

Especially given the current state of Unparalleled Island, which was in dire need of talents, Specter, ranking within the top two hundred of the Cumulated Points Ranking from the Constellation Palace, could certainly advance to Moon Jade soon. With just a bit of effort, wouldn't she be highly valued?

After some thought, she went to find the busy Chu Shen, even changing her address form: "Island Master, I have a friend who is homeless. Would it be possible to take him in?"

Chu Shen pondered briefly and then replied, "Since he's a friend of yours, there's no problem. Just invite him over."

Previously, he had the Lucky Star recruit people on Zhaolai Island due to the situation, because building a force couldn't rely solely on a few individuals.

But now that Unparalleled Island had become a mid-class Spirit Island, there was no need to gather manpower like that anymore. Just a word from him, and many would come of their own accord.

Before, he had to spend spirit jade to ask people to come and help, but now it's different; he had to ensure their sincerity and strength before letting them join.

Take the Constellation Early Stages recruited from Zhaolai Island before, they hadn't had much affiliation with Unparalleled Island, merely working for a monthly salary. But now, everyone was full of vigor and enthusiasm.

These people had gone to Zhaolai Island out of poverty, lacking spirit jade, and were casually recruited for that paycheck.

Currently, Unparalleled Island is a mid-class Spirit Island, whose energy fully meets their cultivation needs. Where else could they find such an opportunity?

Receiving Chu Shen's approval, Specter sent out a message, her eyes curving with a smile as she told Chu Shen, "Don't worry, my friend is quite extraordinary, Island Master—you have met him before."

Chu Shen thought for a moment and immediately understood who it was. If it was that person, truly extraordinary—he ranked even higher than Specter on the Cumulated Points Ranking in the Constellation Palace!

Instantly, it seemed to him that his command now held two major powerhouses, truly Leader Fa's benevolence, for without Leader Fa, how could such strong individuals have come to seek refuge here?

In an instant, Chu Shen saw a bright future for Unparalleled Island.

Having decided to establish herself on Unparalleled Island, Specter naturally wanted to explore this Spirit Island thoroughly. The island wasn't small, but she quickly surveyed it using her Late Stage Constellation Insight.

At this moment, Specter floated in front of a rock wall by the island's edge, staring at a dark cave in front of her, her brow furrowed.

She sensed someone had set a restriction inside, unsure who might be hiding there!

With a flicker, she silently slipped into the cave, carefully examining it before attempting to decipher the restriction—a task not beyond a skilled Ghost Cultivator like her.

As she was cracking it, Specter suddenly felt the restriction open on its own. Looking up, she saw deep inside the cave, a figure sitting cross-legged, expressionlessly staring at her.

The light was dim, and Specter couldn't immediately see the person's face, but the somewhat familiar eyes made her hair stand on end. She quickly stepped back with a defensive stance: "Fa Wuzun!"

"What's with the yelling?" Lu Ye spoke. He had sensed her arrival and since Specter was to stay on Unparalleled Island, frequent encounters were inevitable. So, Lu Ye didn't bother to hide, simply opening the cave's restriction.

Hearing the voice wasn't right, Specter took a closer look and realized the familiar-looking person before her wasn't Fa Wuzun.

Surprised for a moment: "Li Taibai? What are you doing here?"

Lu Ye leisurely said: "Why can't I be here!"

The specter clearly misunderstood, understandingly replied: "So you're one of the Unparalleled Palace!"

Gracefully walked in, glanced around, and sat cross-legged not far from Lu Ye, asking curiously: "Being part of the Unparalleled Palace, why are you staying in such a simple place?"

"It's quieter here. But you, why are you here?"

The specter responded: "Wherever I want to be, I am. Why should you care?" She wouldn't admit she was forced here by Leader Fa, though it turned out well enough.

A change in tone: "You're in the Constellation Late Stage now? Your cultivation progressed quickly, it's a pity. If you were in the Constellation Late Stage before the contest in the Constellation Palace, you might have a shot at the Cumulated Points Ranking!"

Lu Ye said calmly: "The ranking is full of strong competitors; my strength might not be enough."

The specter laughed: "At least you have self-awareness!"

There are many in the Constellation Late Stage, but how many can leave a name on the ranking? Ordinary late-stage cultivators indeed don't qualify for the ranking.

While laughing, the specter's brows furrowed, glancing Lu Ye up and down with an uncertain expression.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ye looked at her.

The specter hesitated momentarily before speaking in a deep voice: "Looking at you... You resemble someone I know!"

Not just in appearance or eyes, even your aura is similar!

Suddenly remembered, Li Taibai is a combat cultivator, and so is Leader Fa!

The specter suddenly felt a chill all over.

"Oh? Who might that be?"

The specter stared into Lu Ye's eyes, not blinking, as if trying to see into his heart, gritting teeth, said slowly: "Someone despicable, shameless, sinister, and cunning. My lifelong adversary!"

Lu Ye showed a contemplative look: "It seems that person is very strong!"

The specter admitted: "Indeed very strong, much stronger than me! But he shouldn't have offended me!"

"What happens if they offend you?"

"Ha..." The specter smirked coldly, "That wouldn't be good, but after I advance to Moon Jade, I'd beat him to his knees, calling 'Mom!'"

Lu Ye nodded: "Let me know when you do, I'll watch the show!"

"Still pretending!" The specter angrily jumped up, pointing at Lu Ye's nose: "Reveal your true self, Leader Fa, I have recognized you! Though your disguise is good, you can't fool my eyes!"

Lu Ye exhibited a shocked expression: "Leader Fa? The one who shone brilliantly at the Melee Battle Meet?"

"Keep pretending!" The specter laughed coldly; though Li Taibai's disguise as Leader Fa lacked flaws, some things just couldn't withstand scrutiny.

Lu Ye shook his head: "I don't know what you're talking about."

Seeing him adamantly deny, the specter quickly pulled out her audio talisman: "I'll see how long you can keep your mouth shut!"

Saying that, found Leader Fa's audio talisman marking, sent a message out, then looked at Lu Ye smugly, determined to expose his ugly face.

If Li Taibai truly were Leader Fa, he wouldn't dare respond in front of her; thus, his identity would be confirmed!

But to the specter's astonishment, shortly after, the audio talisman had a reply, eagerly checking, finding it was indeed Leader Fa's response, with merely a simple sentence: "What is it?"

The specter was thoroughly dumbfounded!

She watched Lu Ye the whole time, seeing no abnormal movement, no chance for sneaking a reply. How could Leader Fa's reply exist?

Surely he didn't delegate his response to someone else; audio talismans are strictly personal, others couldn't activate them.

Could she have been mistaken? Li Taibai is Li Taibai, and Leader Fa is Leader Fa?

But how can there be two such similar people in the world?

In her daze, another message came from Leader Fa, prompting, the specter could only reply: "Nothing, just checking if you're dead!"

"I think you're asking for trouble!"

The specter couldn't help twitching her eyes, quickly putting away the audio talisman.
