Chapter 53

At this moment, the entire “The Three Thousand Realms Cultivator Exchange Area” forum was in an uproar.

On one hand, this was because the forum had not been updated in all the years since its creation, and today, out of the blue, it had updated. On the other hand, it was because they had just learned of the cultivation level of the Melon Mover.

It wasn’t the Nascent Soul stage they had imagined, nor was it a higher cultivation level. Instead, it was Qi Refining, a low-level cultivation stage that no one had taken seriously.

Who would have thought that the Melon Mover was just a newbie to the cultivation world? Yet, this very novice had turned the Flower Pavilion upside down.

Moreover, the Flower Pavilion had no way to deal with him.

This forum update only revealed the cultivation level of the poster. Clearly, it was aimed at exposing the Melon Mover.

The more information that was known, the easier it would be to expose him. However, who would have thought that the Melon Mover was only at the Qi Refining stage? There were so many cultivators at this stage, so finding him among them wasn’t an easy task.

That day, the entire page of “The Three Thousand Realms Cultivator Exchange Area” was almost completely occupied by the keyword “Melon Mover.”

【The Melon Mover is actually only at Qi Refining? Where did he get the courage to challenge the Flower Pavilion?】

【Laughable, I thought he was some untouchable big shot, but he’s just a jumping little fool.】

【The Flower Pavilion must be feeling miserable right now, being played with by a Qi Refining cultivator.】

In the cruel world of cultivation, cultivation level was the measure of everything. The Melon Mover’s cultivation was lower than that of most cultivators in the forum, so those who once supported him quickly lost interest.

There were many mocking comments, of course, but there were also quite a few loyal followers defending him.

【So what if his cultivation is low? This is probably just temporary.】

【The Melon Mover knows so many secrets; he must have some hidden abilities that the public doesn’t know about.】

【Cultivators with high cultivation don’t necessarily share so many secrets with us. They don’t even bother acknowledging us. I don’t care, I’ll always support the Melon Mover.】

【His cultivation is low, and the Flower Pavilion still can’t deal with him? Doesn’t that prove his strength even more?】

Everything that happened on the forum was quickly relayed to Ning Xu by the Melon-Eating System.

With excitement, the Melon-Eating System asked, 【Host, what do you think?】

Ning Xu, “…” What could she think? She had no particular opinion.

At this moment, she was busy comprehending the Heavenly-level technique that the Melon-Eating System had sent her earlier, and had no time for such trivial matters.

The Melon-Eating System noticed she was preoccupied and cheerfully said, 【Host, I’m free. Should I reply for you?】

“Do as you wish.”

Soon, the post that had mocked the Melon Mover the most displayed his response.

The Melon Mover, 【What’s the point of cultivation? In five years, I’ll reach the Nascent Soul stage.】

This statement made the already lively cultivation forum even more chaotic.

【From Qi Refining to Nascent Soul in five years? Dream on.】

【Hahaha, I said I’d reach the Mahayana stage in five years. Who can’t talk big like that?】

【The Melon Mover is as arrogant as ever, but I no longer feel that admiration for him. The pain of watching the illusion shatter, who understands?】

【Turns out his cultivation is even lower than mine. Right now, I feel conflicted, and the melon doesn’t taste as sweet as it used to.】

【No need to be so realistic. His melon revelations, what do they have to do with his cultivation? As long as the Melon Mover keeps sharing, I’ll keep supporting him.】

【He exposed everything, and still dares to reveal more?】

As it turned out, the Melon Mover really did dare.

Just after midnight, the Melon Mover posted a new thread.

The Flower Pavilion Sect Leader had been practically defeated, with no room to struggle, so this time, the focus shifted entirely to the Flower Pavilion’s ancestor.

This new post was especially explosive, titled, 【Gou Chen, a virgin who’s lived for over 3,000 years.】

Upon reading this post, the cultivators were all shocked.

What? The Melon Mover had actually gone after the Flower Pavilion’s ancestor? What incredible courage!

He was truly jumping off the cliff with each post!

Wait, Gou Chen had lived for over 3,000 years, and his Yang Essence was still intact?

They didn’t know whether to admire Gou Chen’s for avoiding female cultivators, or to marvel at his self-control.

After all, keeping his Yang Essence intact for 3,000 years wasn’t an easy feat, but Gou Chen had managed it.

Upon seeing the title, the cultivators immediately clicked to read more. If not now, when? This was far more enticing than any melon before!

The Melon Mover’s post read:

【Why is his Yang Essence still intact? Because he’s impotent, of course.】

The post caused a stir, sending ripples through the forum.

What? The mighty Tribulation-stage God was actually…

The cultivators were excited, surprised, and satisfied. The whole forum was awake because of this post.

Of course, among the sleepless cultivators, there was one in particular: the Melon Mover himself.

At this moment, in the Secret Realm of the Horizon.

The Melon-Eating System was looking at Ning Xu, stunned, and said, 【Host, you’re getting more and more skillful. You even know how to release fake melons.】

After posting the fake melon, Ning Xu once again immersed herself in comprehending the Heavenly-level technique.

Her eyes were closed, her expression calm.

The Melon-Eating System wasn’t wrong—this was indeed a fake melon.

Gou Chen was not impotent.

But so what? The Melon Mover’s previous revelations had all been real, and every cultivator who followed him knew this. Therefore, the moment they saw the post, they instinctively believed it to be true.

And that was enough.

Would Gou Chen personally step forward to deny it?

He wouldn’t.

On one hand, his pride wouldn’t allow him to clear up such rumors. On the other hand, it was impossible to clarify.

How could he clarify it? The fact that his Yang Essence was still intact was undeniable.

That alone was enough to spark countless speculations. Some things only get worse the more you try to explain. Gou Chen, having lived for over 3,000 years, certainly understood this.

The Melon-Eating System excitedly rubbed its hands together: 【Host, this is great! Gou Chen is probably about to explode.】

It knew who the instigator was, but there was nothing it could do.

The Melon-Eating System darkly added, 【Let that bastard get angry.】

If it wasn’t for Gou Chen’s collusion… the forum wouldn’t have specifically updated. Since he dared to target them, Gou Chen better be prepared for retaliation!

All along, listening quietly, Qi Er:…

He was numb, truly numb.

They had dared to fabricate fake melons about a true monarch, and not just any fake melons, but something that even the true monarch would care about.

Tell me, in this cultivation world, is there anything these people won’t do?
