Sky Pill Gate claimed to be sealing its doors, but in reality, it was merely saying so for others to hear. The cultivators of the East Jia State didn't feel anything different—cheaper elixirs were still purchased as usual, and they could frequently see Azure Sky Medicine Ancestor strolling around the gate of the Pill Gate.
At the same time, Sky Pill Gate also witnessed another significant event that caught everyone's attention. It was the arrival of the new Demon Ancestor. The Medicine Ancestor himself declared that from now on, all affairs of Sky Pill Gate would be managed by the Demon Ancestor. However, the cultivators of the East Jia State didn't know much about this Demon Ancestor, having never even heard of him before.
Now, who exactly is this Demon Ancestor?
The Demon Ancestor had made a few rare appearances within Sky Pill Gate but never revealed his face, always wearing a black hood.
Perhaps this was what gave him an air of mystery.
The Demon Ancestor was indeed quite mysterious throughout the East Jia State, capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the publicly acknowledged Azure Sky Medicine Ancestor but having no prior rumors about him.
...
The Demon Ancestor was likely some top-tier powerhouse who had once shocked the myriad realms.
The cultivators of the East Jia State thought this, unaware that this so-called Demon Ancestor was none other than the former lord of the Ten Great Mountains, the initiator of the plan for Chen Xia to devour the Immortal Realm's will.
The Inner Demon was still discussing with Chen Xia, musing, "Now that we've taken over the East Jia State, we can aim for the entire Immortal Realm. But I'm feeling more and more that something's off."
"For example?" Chen Xia asked.
The Inner Demon pondered, "For example, everything is going too smoothly for us, as if it were meant to be. Also, the Immortal Realm isn't as simple as I originally thought."
"The Immortal Realm is situated in the center of the myriad realms, surrounded by other large realms. At first, I thought this location was mere coincidence, but now I see there's something suspicious about it."
"This place was set up for some existence to descend."
The Inner Demon chuckled, tapping his finger on the table, and continued, "When that puppet came to you earlier, it said that the East Jia State would be your last refuge, advising you not to leave the East Jia State when you become a Great Emperor. That means chaos will erupt in the Immortal Realm, perhaps even in the neighboring states."
"What kind of existence could force us to stay in just one state?"
"The Four-Dao Great Emperor isn't enough—he can only defeat us, not confine us to one state. So, the answer is clear."
"A Five Paths Great Emperor from elsewhere is coming to the Immortal Realm, and he likely has us in his sights. The only place where we can stand a chance of survival is within our already established territory in the East Jia State."
"There aren't many Five Paths Great Emperors in the world—who could it be? The Lord of the Divine Realm?"
"No." Chen Xia's eyes narrowed, his expression serious. He had already thought of a very likely candidate.
"The Nine Mountains Overlord!"
"Why?" the Inner Demon asked.
"We stole his home." Chen Xia replied.
"..." The Inner Demon was speechless, eventually murmuring, "Indeed."
If the Nine Mountains Overlord were to awaken, he would probably hunt them both down.
"So, what now? We can't exactly return what we took, can we?" the Inner Demon asked again.
“Of course not. The East Jia State is mine now. The Immortal Realm hasn't said a word, so what can a Five Paths Great Emperor do about it? At most, he can try to kill me.” Chen Xia raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced, then continued, “And what can a Five Paths Great Emperor do? I've already thought of a countermeasure. When the time comes, we'll go together. First, we'll try to talk sense into him. If he doesn't listen to reason, then don't blame us for being merciless. I'll take the entire East Jia State and separate it from the Immortal Realm, returning to our domain. At worst, I'll just take the East Jia State with me.”
Gain and lose—usually, Chen Xia only focused on the gain, and he would go as far as taking the East Jia State with him.
"That works," the Inner Demon nodded. This was their only retreat route.
The current situation in the Immortal Realm was unclear.
In the Treasure Ring Scale State, the Lord of the Divine Realm had entered a state of internal retreat, no longer engaging in battles with the Immortal Realm cultivators, appearing to be at peace.
Other states were relatively stable, able to gather strength. If this calm situation could last for several thousand more years, the Immortal Realm should be able to easily weather this realm war.
But there were no ifs.
Only a hundred years had passed, and in the Divine Realm, an old figure ascended high, his turbid eyes peering through the cosmos to the vast Immortal Realm, landing on the Treasure Ring Scale State.
This was the final battlefield prepared by the Martial Emperor for them. The Divine Realm had claimed the Treasure Ring Scale State.
The Lord of the Divine Realm's turbid eyes flickered, murmuring softly to himself, "Martial Emperor, what exactly are you plotting? To become the Heavenly Dao? But I simply don't believe it."
"Regardless of what you're planning, being able to descend into the Immortal Realm is enough. Hehe, for this Primordial Land, I've long harbored deep desires."
Suddenly, his turbid eyes burst with a radiant brilliance, and his old body stood straight, exuding an aura of youthful vigor completely at odds with his age!
Boom!
A bright pillar of light could be seen piercing through the void between realms.
Directly from the Divine Realm to the Treasure Ring Scale State.
It was neither a divine talent nor a supernatural art—nor even an artifact.
Today.
The Lord of the Divine Realm descends upon the Treasure Ring Scale State.
The age of chaos begins!
saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes. This Xu Moru is too bold, he's not following the rules at all." "Crap, is this guy taking it seriously?" "The female celebrity has been scared to tears!"
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
fe full of thrilling battles, ultimately sacrificing himself to protect his homeland and its people. Unexpectedly, he was reborn into his youth, where he encountered the campus ice queen, Ye Miyue, now working as a masseuse at his family's martial arts school. "How long have you been doing this?" "I-it's my first time..." the campus belle murmured, her head bowed. Wang Xian remembered clearly that back then, although Ye Miyue had not yet awakened her martial arts talent, her outstanding academic performance, breathtaking beauty, and icy demeanor had made her the moon goddess of every boy in school. He was no exception. In his previous life, they had no connection, never imagining they would meet under such circumstances. Sadly, today the city was attacked by an S-class beast, the 'Wind King Falcon,' destroying nearly half of the city streets. Ye Miyue had died on her way home during this disaster. Now, given a second chance, facing the campus goddess of his youth, Wang Xian resolutely decided to extend her session! And so. "My hands are tired..." the blushing campus belle whispered, relieved. Wang Xian pointed to her slender calves and said, "Who said only hands can massage? There are feet too!" "Extend the session, continue!"
iving with nine beautiful women. [Ding! Welcome back to the Joyous Sect, Host…] Lin Yu: ??? I’m clearly in a shared rental, but you’re saying I’m in the Joyous Sect? Watering plants is now [Tending to Spiritual Flora]? Cooking becomes [Researching Elixirs]? Making the bed turns into [Setting Up Formations]? A gentle and innocent auntie, twin classmates, a mysterious hacker girl on leave, a severely socially anxious artist, an elementary school Chinese teacher, a community hospital nurse, a pet shop owner, an antique clock restorer… This system… is kinda interesting.
