"Senior Long, why did you all come to the Mortal World?" Chen Nan couldn’t help asking.

The Sky Dragon King smiled and said, "It was Ghost Venerable."

"Ghost Venerable?"

Chen Nan couldn’t help speaking, but in his heart he was inevitably surprised.

For this period of time he’d been wanting to find Ghost Venerable; he hadn’t expected Ghost Venerable to proactively send people to his door. A Supreme Expert’s Divine Thought can cross realms, so Ghost Venerable should already know a bit about what happened in the Panlong Star Domain.

It was just, what did Ghost Venerable want the Sky Dragon King and the others to come here for?

"Ghost Venerable personally spoke. Originally, the two Supreme Elders of Qingtian Sect and Liangji Sect were both in the Dharma Realm Star Domain, and hadn’t meddled in worldly affairs for many years. If not for Ghost Venerable’s promise this time, they absolutely wouldn’t have come out of seclusion." The Sky Dragon King said.

Although his true form was a Divine Dragon, lofty and above, the two Purple Robe and Yellow Robe elders before him also had extremely high seniority, so there was naturally respect in his tone.

"Illusion Destruction Sect now has Ancestor Zi Jix sitting in town. Yunlong Heavenly Monarch and Ziyun are, after all, senior and junior disciples for many years, and he couldn’t set his mind at ease about her. So this time, just as Yunhua Heavenly Monarch returned from tempering herself in the Star Domain, she came along as well."

Yunhua Heavenly Monarch was originally from the Du family of the Magic Realm. Chen Nan had heard of them; the Du family of the Magic Realm had produced quite a few experts. He just hadn’t expected that this girl, who didn’t look very old and seemed rather goofy, actually had such high cultivation.

He was just about to ask what Ghost Venerable wanted with so many people coming over, when the Yellow Robe elder in the distance gave a cold snort. "Sky Dragon King, you’re at least a great Demon God of the Magic Realm. Why do you talk like you’re this brat’s junior? Who is he?"

Nantian Heavenly Monarch had already been impatient for a long time. Over this period he’d forgotten the pain once the scar healed, and thinking of the hatred of his severed arm that day made his teeth itch with rage. Now that the Supreme Elders were here, would he still fear a Chen Nan? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Ancestor, this brat is the Chen Nan who cut off my arm that day, and also the one Ghost Venerable told us to find." Ye Nantian pointed at Chen Nan.

The Yellow Robe elder’s face changed. "What? Didn’t you say he only had Immortal Domain cultivation? How does he have a Mid-stage Heavenly Monarch Realm? Did this brat trick you that day?"

The Yellow Robe elder swept a glance over Chen Nan, his eyes filled with disdain. "Ghost Venerable has paid quite a price this time, actually having us follow a mere Heavenly Monarch brat. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have come."

He had the pride of a Half-step Supreme Expert. Following behind Chen Nan was simply a disgrace to his sect.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, why be angry? We’re here under Ghost Venerable’s orders, yes, but Ghost Venerable only told us to enter the God Demon Secret Realm together with him, and didn’t clearly specify what we must do. When the time comes, who knows, we might be able to get a share of the treasures inside."

The Purple Robe elder laughed loudly. "Or do you think those Heavenly Monarch cultivators of theirs, plus two Half-step Supremes, can possibly rob us three Half-step Supremes?"

As the Purple Robe elder spoke, he swept his gaze toward the young girl not far away. "Yunhua Heavenly Monarch, don’t you agree?"

Below Supreme, one could only be titled Heavenly Monarch or Ancestor. After all, even a Half-step Supreme hadn’t truly stepped into the Supreme ranks, and was merely at the Heavenly Monarch Tenth Layer Heaven.

Yunhua Heavenly Monarch’s expression was blank. "That has nothing to do with me. I came this time only because my brother wants to see Ziyun, and I wasn’t at ease."

Yunlong Heavenly Monarch nodded. "My little sister indeed came because of my matter. Besides, our Du family owed Ghost Venerable a favor five hundred years ago; this time is just right to pay it back."

After he finished speaking, he turned to Ziyun. "Junior Sister, have you been well lately?"

After speaking, he swept his Divine Sense over Ziyun’s cultivation, and couldn’t help showing a look of surprise.

The two of them were, after all, senior and junior disciples who had lived in the same sect for countless years. Seeing Yunlong Heavenly Monarch, Ziyun also revealed a gentle smile.

"Senior Brother, I’ve been fine recently. Senior Brother, after you’re done with your matters in the Human World and head back, please trouble you to bring this gift back to Ancestor for me."

As Purple Rhythm Heavenly Monarch spoke, she took out a brocade box. Inside that box was a stalk of Ten-thousand-year-old Star Moon Grass. Ten thousand years by itself wasn’t anything special.

However, this Star Moon Grass was the one Chen Nan had obtained from Purple Cloud Peak back then, irrigated by Immortal Spirit Qi. Such a big clump of Medicinal herbs could be refined into a Four Nascent Soul Immortal Pill, or even a Five Infant Immortal Pill.

"Alright."

Over this period, Yunlong Heavenly Monarch’s temperament had become much steadier than before. He didn’t say much, and directly accepted it.

Back then, Chen Nan had picked quite a lot of Immortal Herbs irrigated by Immortal Spirit Qi from Purple Cloud Peak. He’d given a few to the Heavenly Gate Ancestor, and had given almost all the rest to his own friends and women.

Ziyun had also received five stalks back then, but he hadn’t expected that she’d specially keep one of the very top-grade ones for Ancestor Zi Jie.

Chen Nan knew the origin of this Immortal Herb, but he didn’t expose it. After watching Ziyun and Yunlong chat for a while, he finally said, "It seems Senior Ghost Venerable is quite concerned about this junior. He even knows about me entering the God Demon Secret Realm to seek treasure. But with him paying such close attention, I’m all the more curious what exactly is inside."

"Curious? Then let’s go in. This Death Star Domain does indeed look a bit dangerous, but for cultivations like ours it’s nothing. I just don’t know whether you lot can handle it." The Yellow Robe elder and Purple Robe elder spoke almost in unison.

Seeing the arrogant looks on the two men’s faces, Chen Nan itched to go up and give them a good beating.

However, he forcibly held back from making a move. He had even slain a Supreme before; these three Half-step Supremes before him were nothing at all. At worst, if anything went wrong later, he’d just wipe them out.

It was only Yunlong Heavenly Monarch and Yunhua Heavenly Monarch, who were connected to Ziyun—if they turned their coats at the critical moment, it would put him in a bit of a bind. For now he could only take things one step at a time.

"We’re still young. I just don’t know if you two seniors, at your age, with those old arms and old legs, can stand the strain." Chen Nan looked at the Yellow Robe and Purple Robe elders with a face full of pity. "Already several thousand years old and still having to run around outside—tough, really tough!"

"Brat, you—"

The Yellow Robe elder spoke as he raised a palm to strike at Chen Nan.

But Chen Nan only chuckled and turned to the Golden Sword Sect Ancestor. "Old man, don’t you think what I said makes sense?"

The Golden Sword Sect Ancestor had long been holding in a compliment to lavish on Chen Nan. At this moment, he immediately wagged his tail and said, "Of course. If old arms and old legs can stay at home, they definitely shouldn’t come out. Take me for example—even though I’m a Sword Cultivator, if I can help it I absolutely won’t come out. One careless moment and you keel over."

This was clearly scolding one thing while pointing at another. The faces of the two Supreme Elders of Qingtian Sect and Liangji Sect both turned the color of pig liver. But seeing that the Sky Dragon King and this Half-step Supreme of the Golden Sword Sect actually showed such an attitude toward Chen Nan, they hesitated.

Anyone who could draw Ghost Venerable’s attention, even if only a Heavenly Monarch, still had to be handled carefully. If some huge mess was stirred up, it wouldn’t be good.

"Hmph, then where is this so-called God Demon Secret Realm? We want to see what kind of God Demons are inside!"

The two Supreme Elders clearly didn’t take the God Demon seriously at all. In their Realm, they were already beings akin to gods themselves. Moreover, they had never entered the God and Demon Tower before; the ignorant know no fear.

Just as he finished speaking, the Haotian Tower sent a strand of Divine Thought into Chen Nan’s mind. "Not good! The Heavenly Wind and Earth Fire in the region of the God Demon Secret Realm are extremely ferocious; they even devoured a strand of Divine Thought I sent over."
