After the Penglai Assembly ended, Ying Yuan specially invited her over, revealed his identity, and told her some truths about the strange stone.

At that time, Ying Yuan mixed truth and lies together while speaking.

It is said that the strange stone is the entrance to a secret realm passed down through generations on Penglai Immortal Isle.

Inside the realm are various heavenly treasures, demonic beasts, and spiritual plants that have already gone extinct in the current world.

Only those born with Eye of Ishvara can open the secret realm.

However, the Ying family no longer has anyone with such eyes, so they have no choice but to display the strange stone that carries the secret realm in hopes of finding someone with Eye of Ishvara.

After that, they enthusiastically invited the female lead to stay and explore the secret realm together.

Since she was searching for the Immortal Herb, she naturally would not miss this opportunity and agreed.

In order to bring more manpower into the secret realm, Ying Yuan actively contributed many treasures that could enhance eyes power, all collected over the years.

During this time, intimate interactions between the two were inevitable.

Meanwhile, Li Peiyi became jealous and used every possible scheme, fully fulfilling her role as the vicious supporting female character.

Eventually, Ying Yuan became furious and imprisoned her, warning that considering their son Ying Dalian, he would spare her this time. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

If there was a next time, he would strip her cultivation and remove her position as his legal wife.

Not long after, the female lead activated the secret realm.

Together with Ying Yuan and a group of cultivators, they overcame many dangers and advanced toward the center of the realm.

Along the way, the female lead’s performance completely moved Ying Yuan, and he confessed to her, promising that once they left, he would marry her.

Their relationship grew increasingly passionate until they reached the place where the Immortal Herb grew and killed the peak Tier 5 demonic beast guarding it.

Just as the group was exhausted, Ying Dalian suddenly ambushed Ying Yuan and severely injuring him.

At the same time, more than half of the people Ying Yuan had brought turned traitor.

After killing all those loyal to him, one of them removed his disguise, revealing himself to be Li Peiyi who had previously been imprisoned.

After that, Li Peiyi faithfully carried out her role as the antagonist.

She revealed her and her son’s rebellion plan, and while threatening the female lead to hand over the Immortal Herb, she also revealed that this secret realm originally belonged to her.

It was precisely because of this secret realm that Ying Yuan had married her.

However, about 270 years ago when the previous island lord led people into the secret realm, the demonic cultivators had secretly infiltrated the group.

Those demonic cultivators killed everyone present, including all those with Eye of Ishvara and stole all the treasures obtained from it.

Since then, the secret realm could no longer be opened until his appearance.

Xiao Shou was not interested in this part of the plot.

What mattered most was that at the moment Li Peiyi forced her to hand over the Immortal Herb, there was a heavily injured and dying Water Qilin and a critically wounded Ying Yuan.

The female lead gave the Immortal Herb to the Water Qilin.

Ying Yuan became cannon fodder and then the female lead and the Water Qilin killed everyone present in return.

The Heavenly Orb devoured the secret realm and its grade was unexpectedly raised by one level.

Li Peiyi’s final thoughts before her death were more than three hundred years ago, cultivators searching that sea region captured three people in the waters, two brothers and a Golden Core cultivator.

They reported it to Ying Yuan, but he was not interested.

Li Peiyi then pleaded with Ying Yuan to let her handle the matter.

She used the brothers’ desire for revenge and the Golden Core cultivator’s urgent need for cultivation resources to her advantage.

She fabricated a fake enemy who had killed her and even used a heart demon oath to deceive them.

In the end, she successfully led them into the secret realm.

Inside the realm, they obtained many opportunities.

Later, without leaving any trace, she secretly killed the Golden Core cultivator to avenge her father.

However, by coincidence, a Penglai Immortal Isle cultivator accidentally let something slip, and the two brothers discovered her lie and realized the truth.

The elder brother was restrained by a restriction.

In order to escape, he actually transferred the power of his special eye to his younger brother.

The younger brother successfully escaped.

After that, Li Peiyi spent a long time searching for and cultivating other individuals with innate special eyes.

After carefully recalling all these events, Xiao Shou reconstructed the timeline in his mind.

The original story was likely like this.

Chen Yufei was killed by Xiang Yu.

The Chen brothers likely negotiated with City Lord Xiahou Bo in order to take revenge and re-enter the sea.

The three of them were captured.

Li Peiyi mistakenly regarded City Lord Xiahou Bo as her enemy.

In the secret realm, two of them escaped and Xiahou Bo died.

Li Peiyi then searched for Eye of Ishvara users.

The Penglai Immortal Isle Lord tricked independent cultivators into entering the secret realm and used their flesh and blood to cultivate the still immature Immortal Herb.

At some unknown point in time, Zhong Kui infiltrated the secret realm.

The Chen brothers, independent cultivators, and the Penglai Immortal Isle Lord all became cannon fodder, while Zhong Kui emerged victorious.

The female lead Xiao Ran arrived at Penglai Immortal Isle, participated in the Penglai Assembly, strengthened her special eyes, entered the secret realm, found the Immortal Herb, and then Li Peiyi and her son rebelled.

The Water Qilin was restored, Ying Yuan and everyone else became cannon fodder, and finally the Heavenly Orb devoured the secret realm and advanced by one rank.
