"It's all a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding."
"I, Chen Chang'an, am not an unreasonable man."
"Forget it. A great man doesn’t dwell on the faults of lesser ones."
"No need to apologize."
Chen Chang'an waved his hand with an air of magnanimity, making the female disciples of the Huan Hua Immortal Sect seethe with hatred, wishing they could tear him apart with their teeth.
This man… how could he be so shameless?
"Look at Young Master Chen’s generosity."
"You should all learn from him."
Huh?
Learn from him?
Learn what? His shamelessness?
Wan Qing’s words left the female disciples speechless, wanting to retort but not daring to say a word.
"Y-Young Master Chen, this way, please."
"You two, go prepare a courtyard for Young Master Chen."
"Make sure he is treated with the utmost respect, understood?"
"Yes, Sect Master."
Wan Qing’s attitude toward Chen Chang'an left the members of the Huan Hua Immortal Sect utterly baffled.
After all, Wan Qing was the founder of the Huan Hua Immortal Sect, and within the sect, there was no such thing as an Elder Supreme—she was the highest authority.
Moreover, they knew their Sect Master well. While it was proper to be courteous to guests, this time, it felt like… she was treating Chen Chang'an with reverence?
Strange!
Truly strange!
"What do you think? Who exactly is this Chen Chang'an to make the Sect Master treat him like this?"
"No idea, but he must be a lecher."
"Right, and a swindler too. There’s no way he just ascended."
"Exactly. If he were a newly ascended cultivator, why would the Sect Master act this way?"
"Hmph, we’ll settle the score with him when we get the chance."
"What score are you settling? You weren’t even bathing today."
"Oh, right. He only saw you, not me."
Wan Qing led Chen Chang'an to the courtyard where she resided. It had to be said—the Ancient Immortal Domain was truly magnificent. Everywhere one went, the scenery was breathtakingly beautiful.
No wonder there was a saying about "paradise on earth." Compared to the Tai Xuan Realm, every corner of the Ancient Immortal Domain was like a divine realm.
"Young Master Chen, please have a seat."
"Is there anything you’d like to ask?" Wan Qing inquired with a smile.
"Yes, many things."
"For example, where in the Ancient Immortal Domain are we?"
"This is the Xuan Tian Region of the Ancient Immortal Domain. The Ancient Immortal Domain is vast—immeasurably so. Just this Xuan Tian Region alone is likely thousands, if not millions, of times larger than the lower realm."
"And yet, the Xuan Tian Region is nothing special within the Ancient Immortal Domain."
Chen Chang'an had expected the Ancient Immortal Domain to be vast, but this was beyond his imagination. It was this enormous?
"What’s your cultivation level?" Chen Chang'an asked curiously.
"Celestial Immortal realm."
Wan Qing smiled sheepishly. After cultivating for so many years, she had only reached the Celestial Immortal realm—a fact that embarrassed her.
"Celestial Immortals can live this long?"
"Of course. In the lower realm, Quasi-Emperors can easily live for tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years."
"I’ve already reached the Celestial Immortal realm—is it so strange for me to live for a million years?"
That made sense. Chen Chang'an knew far too little about the Ancient Immortal Domain.
When Mu Yunyao left, she hadn’t given him much of an explanation either.
"Do you know of the Wang Family?"
"The Wang Family, one of the Nine Great Immortal Clans of the Ancient Immortal Domain?" Chen Chang'an asked.
The Wang Family?
Wan Qing gave Chen Chang'an a strange look before replying, "Everyone in the Ancient Immortal Domain knows of the Nine Great Immortal Clans."
"The Wang Family is incredibly powerful, but they reside far, far away from here."
"I’ve heard they dwell in a blessed land—Teng Yun Heaven."
"Senior… have you remembered something?"
Wan Qing’s question caught Chen Chang'an off guard. Remembered something? What did she mean?
"No, why do you ask?" Chen Chang'an replied.
"If not, why would you suddenly ask about the Wang Family?"
"If I recall correctly, there’s a legend in the Ancient Immortal Domain that Wang Ruomeng, a peerless genius of the Wang Family from that era, was… ahem… a close companion of Senior Chen Tian."
"Are you sure you don’t remember?"
What the—?
What was this?
Chen Tian and the Wang Family had such a connection?
A peerless genius from the Wang Family a million years ago was Chen Tian’s beloved?
"What happened afterward? What became of that Wang Family genius and Chen Tian?" Chen Chang'an pressed.
"That, I don’t know. After Senior Chen Tian left, though his legends spread throughout the Ancient Immortal Domain, few knew the truth."
"I’ve always stayed in the Xuan Tian Region, so my knowledge is even more limited."
Wan Qing had remained in the Xuan Tian Region all this time, and most of what she knew were rumors.
She couldn’t even verify their authenticity.
"Young Master Chen, do you have any plans for your re-cultivation this time?"
In Wan Qing’s eyes, if Chen Chang'an retained memories of his past life, he wouldn’t need her guidance. Given Chen Tian’s past experiences, he would know exactly how to progress.
But the Chen Chang'an before her seemed completely unaware of his past, leading Wan Qing to suspect that his soul had been damaged, erasing his memories.
Only Chen Chang'an knew the truth—his soul was perfectly intact. There was no missing memory.
The more likely explanation was that Wan Qing had mistaken him for someone else.
"I haven’t thought that far yet. To establish myself in the Ancient Immortal Domain with my current strength… I’m still lacking."
"So, my main focus for now should be cultivation."
"I—"
Chen Chang'an had been holding back for a while, but he finally couldn’t take it anymore. He looked down at Da Huang, who was gnawing on his clothes. What the hell was wrong with this bastard today?
"Da Huang, are you sick today?"
"Why are you chewing on my clothes?" Chen Chang'an said helplessly.
"Huh?"
"I’m not chewing."
Huh?
When Da Huang’s voice rang out, Chen Chang'an froze. The Da Huang currently chewing his clothes hadn’t opened its mouth to speak.
He glanced to the side and saw Da Huang lying innocently on the ground.
Da Huang also sensed something amiss. It stood up and took a closer look—what the hell? There was another Da Huang?
"Damn it!"
"Who the hell are you?" Da Huang barked at the other Da Huang.
"Damn it!"
"Who the hell are you?"
The two Da Huangs spoke in identical tones.
"You bastard! How dare you impersonate me? I’ll bite you to death!"
"You bastard! How dare—"
"Stop copying me!"
"Stop copying me!"
"Xiao Yao, stop fooling around. Change back."
Wan Qing sighed helplessly and gave the fake Da Huang a reproachful look.
"Oh, okay, Master."
The fake Da Huang grinned and then reverted to its original form—a little girl who looked no older than eleven or twelve.
"Young Master Chen, my apologies. This is my youngest disciple, Xiao Yao."
"She’s a demon beast and loves to mess around."
A demon beast?
