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!

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later."
