Something’s happened!

Chen Nan thought to himself, but the Five Old Monsters of Tongtian had already shot out from the loft atop the city wall into the sky to check what was going on.

The Black Feathered Chicken clucked loudly and was about to fly up into the sky to watch the excitement, but Chen Nan grabbed its leg and hauled it back. "You damn chicken, what are you butting in for? Lingxiao City is a mountain city—if there’s such a phenomenon, I’m afraid the whole Panlong Star Domain is already in an uproar. If it’s not something to do with Demon God Mountain, then that patch of Void really has gone wrong."

"Godfather, the Execution Hall won’t be in trouble, right?" The Fire Qilin, this guy, was always thinking about his lair.

Chen Nan shook his head. "The Haotian Tower is on Ancient God Star. It’s more reliable than me personally sitting there. Even if the entire Panlong Star Domain is destroyed, with its monstrous power, it can still get away unscathed."

Hearing him say that, everyone finally relaxed a little.

Ji Yueshen also gave a slight nod. "Elder sisters, you don’t need to worry. A phenomenon like this is probably some treasure coming out of the ground. Who knows, maybe another Ancient God Temple–level opportunity has been born in the Panlong Star Domain."

With such a lineup, even Heavenly Lord–level powerhouses would feel deeply shaken in their hearts, yet Ji Yueshen was calm and unruffled. Chen Nan felt it very strange inside—just what was this girl’s background?

But what he was even more curious about was what exactly had happened outside the Panlong Star Domain. His thoughts moved, and he took out the Hidden Heaven Mirror he had obtained from the Sky Dragon King in the Magic Realm from his Storage Ring. He sent a strand of Divine Thought into the Hidden Heaven Mirror, and very quickly a scene appeared on the surface of the mirror.

In the Star Domain near Demon God Mountain, lightning flashed and thunder rolled. Bolts of lightning like giant dragons seemed about to tear apart the entire Void. Within the Void covered by those bolts of lightning, one could vaguely see the Void being ripped open into a crack. That crack grew larger and larger, as if something was about to crawl out from within.

Chen Nan’s expression couldn’t help but change drastically. He remembered what the Demon Clan Supreme had said that day. The Demon Clan Supreme had relied on that Treasure Bone to cultivate at a heaven-defying speed. Although he himself could not obtain the supreme power inside the Treasure Bone, he had fused that Treasure Bone into his body, causing the strength and weakness of the world barrier of the entire Four Extremes World to be closely linked to his Life and Death.

Could that old ghost, the Seven Suns Old Demon, have guessed right after all?

Chen Nan’s heart tightened. If an Outer Domain powerhouse really forced their way in, then the whole Panlong Star Domain would fall into chaos.

However, his gaze swept toward the distant Lingxiao Pavilion in the city. Not one of the fourteen powerhouses had come out, so it seemed things weren’t as bad as he’d imagined. Moreover, ever since he had completed the Divine Soul Imprint with the Haotian Tower, he could sense every tiny change in its inner world with just a thought.

The Treasure Bone was lying quietly inside the Haotian Tower. In theory, the Haotian Tower was in the midst of comprehending it, but hadn’t taken any measures. Judging from that, there must be something else going on here. If the problem really lay with the Treasure Bone, there’s no way the Haotian Tower wouldn’t have noticed.

As he was thinking, the Five Old Monsters of Tongtian had already returned to Lingxiao Restaurant. Beads of sweat were hanging on each of their faces—obviously they had just expended quite a lot of Divine Power.

"How is it?"

The Five Old Monsters of Tongtian shook their heads. "We investigated. It’s changes outside the Star Domain that triggered this scene in the city. Right now Lord Cang Yue and the others are all in Lingxiao Pavilion. What we do next will all depend on their decision."

The Demon Clan’s hierarchy was strict. Even at the Demon God Realm, it was still a world where the strong were revered.

Cang Yue was the master of Demon God Mountain. His word was law; no one dared break this rule of Demon God Mountain.

Chen Nan, however, felt secretly delighted. Back then when he killed the Demon Clan Supreme, it was to follow his own unrestrained Dao. For traitors of the Four Extremes World like the Demon Clan, he had absolutely zero tolerance.

So he would not compromise in the slightest. Besides, if the sky falls, there are taller ones to hold it up.

Although he cared about the safety of the entire Four Extremes World, when he thought back to all the things that had happened in the Magic Realm, he couldn’t help but harbor some doubts. Back then in the Demon Abyss, the reason the little Heavenly Demon had been invaded by the Ancient Demon Soul might very well have been because that old geezer, the Ghost Venerable, definitely had some scheme.

In the battle in the Void, his Heart Demon had reappeared, and its attitude was bizarre. This made Chen Nan even more suspicious about the matter of the Ghost Venerable having him and the little Heavenly Demon seal the God and Demon Tower together back then. Now he was actually happy to sit back and watch the drama. If a huge crisis really appeared in the Four Extremes World, the Ghost Venerable would definitely cross realms to come here. Then he could just ask him face-to-face about the little Heavenly Demon.

Thinking this way, he couldn’t help but show a smile on his face.

He didn’t know when, but the Black Feathered Chicken was already standing at his side. "Chen Nan, brat, what good thing are you thinking about? Your face is blooming with joy. Don’t tell me you really believe what that little brat said."

The "little brat" the Black Feathered Chicken spoke of was clearly Ji Yueshen, the manager of the Treasure Pavilion. It obviously didn’t have much of a good impression of this girl.

Ji Yueshen’s beautiful eyes glared fiercely at the Black Feathered Chicken. The whites of her eyes flashed—clearly she also found this Black Chicken extremely disagreeable.

...

The dishes at Lingxiao Restaurant were simple, but every single one was incredibly delicious. At Chen Nan’s current Realm, he could have long since gone without eating, but being able to taste such rare delicacies still put him in a good mood. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Damn it, now I finally understand why that Black Feathered Chicken bastard is always afraid the world won’t be in chaos." Thinking of the Black Feathered Chicken’s usual behavior, Chen Nan suddenly felt that there was actually a bit of that same madness brewing in his own heart.

If there really were Outer Domain powerhouses invading the Panlong Star Domain, the Ghost Venerable couldn’t possibly sit by and do nothing; otherwise, his trip to the Human World back then to specially set up the Demon Suppression Array would have been meaningless.

The Five Old Monsters of Tongtian were wolfing down food. Chen Nan, however, had things weighing on his mind. The Black Feathered Chicken squatted on the table clucking loudly as it ate with great gusto. This guy had absolutely no manners when he ate; the Demon Gods and cultivators watching from a distance couldn’t help but roll their eyes one after another.

But with the Five Old Monsters of Tongtian present, these people didn’t dare cause trouble, which made the Black Feathered Chicken even more smug. "Cluck, cluck, cluck... Grandpa Chicken loves it most when people can’t stand me but can’t beat me either."

As they were eating, a figure came rushing over from afar.

It was a super powerhouse at the Eighth Layer Heaven of the Demon God Realm. When Chen Nan saw who it was, he couldn’t help being stunned—it was the Little Young Master of Demon God Mountain, the only son of Cang Yue, the master of Demon God Mountain.

The Little Young Master was overjoyed when he saw Chen Nan. "Big Brother, I didn’t think you’d really be here. Come on, I’ll take you to a good place."

He grabbed Chen Nan and was about to head toward Lingxiao Pavilion. Chen Nan was curious, and sent out his Divine Thought to give a few words of instruction to the four girls, the Black Feathered Chicken, and the Fire Qilin, then simply followed along.

The Little Young Master took out a Token. Inside Lingxiao Pavilion, a ring of light descended on the two of them—one Human, one Demon God. Very quickly, the scene before their eyes shifted. When Chen Nan looked around, he discovered they had arrived in a Void Hall.

Within this great hall, there was actually a faint Immortal Spirit Qi that he was extremely familiar with pouring out endlessly from a certain aperture.

And not far from that aperture, there was even a flowerpot forged from Earth Attribute Divine Stone.

By rights, Earth Attribute Divine Stone had the effect of allowing flowers and plants to remain in bloom forever, yet in the flowerpot before him, the dark green narrow-leafed plant was bare where it ought to have blossomed, with nothing there at all—extremely strange.
