Immortal King vs. Immortal Emperor
Although the final outcome appeared to be a draw, everyone knew the Immortal Emperor had lost.
And this was a peak-stage Immortal Emperor, no less!
It must be understood that a peak-stage Immortal Emperor is a powerhouse who has crossed the final threshold of the Ancient Immortal Domain.
This threshold is not something just anyone can surpass—one must comprehend the power of laws to reach the peak-stage Immortal Emperor realm.
Otherwise, no matter how long one cultivates, they would remain stuck at the ninth level of the Immortal Emperor realm.
From the Fifth Elder’s earlier attack, everyone already knew Chen Chang'an was a monster, but no one expected him to be this monstrous.
Even the Mu Family’s Ancestor couldn’t do anything to him.
"Ancestor, just how strong is Chen Chang'an?" Mu Tianye couldn’t help but ask curiously.
"How strong?"
"You really want to know?"
"All of you want to know?" The Mu Family’s Ancestor chuckled.
Hearing this, the Mu Family members all nodded in unison—they were indeed burning with curiosity about Chen Chang'an’s true strength.
"If you want to know, it’s simple."
"Go test him yourselves."
"I won’t stop you. Go ahead, and you’ll find out."
Huh?
The Ancestor’s words left everyone stunned. Why was the Ancestor suddenly in such a mood?
"Is this what you wanted?"
"Here."
Ignoring the others, the Mu Family’s Ancestor casually tossed a fragment of law to Chen Chang'an.
Seeing the law fragment, Chen Chang'an smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Senior."
"Calling me ‘Senior’ is too distant."
"Sooner or later, we’ll be family."
If not ‘Senior,’ then what?
‘Ancestor’?
That title was a bit too awkward for Chen Chang'an to say out loud.
"Fine, then I’ll call you Old Mu from now on."
"How’s that?"
Old Mu?
Chen Chang'an’s words made the Mu Family’s Ancestor’s face darken. Would it kill you to call me ‘Ancestor’?
Old Mu? That’s a complete mess of seniority!
If you call me Old Mu, what does Mu Yunyao call me? ‘Big Brother’?
"You—"
"Fine, whatever. Call me whatever you like." The Ancestor sighed in resignation.
"Old Mu, can you arrange a secluded place for me to cultivate?"
"Mu Tianye, this is your future son-in-law—you deal with him."
With that, the Ancestor vanished on the spot. Right now, he really didn’t want to see Chen Chang'an—this guy had dealt him quite the blow.
"Brother-in-law, you’re amazing."
"You even have the Ancestor wrapped around your finger." Mu Yunhai said excitedly.
Smack!
"Dad, why did you hit me again?"
Rubbing the back of his head, Mu Yunhai was utterly baffled. Did his father have some irresistible urge to smack his skull?
"Watch your mouth. No disrespect toward the Ancestor," Mu Tianye said sternly.
"But Brother-in-law—"
"Do you have even half of your brother-in-law’s skills?"
"Well… no."
"Wait, what do you mean ‘skills’?"
"I’ve got plenty of skills. Want to test them out?"
"Ahem, no need. Weren’t you going into seclusion? I’ll arrange it right away."
Test him?
What a joke! As the future father-in-law, getting schooled by his son-in-law would be downright humiliating if word got out.
"By the way!"
"You’ve been here this long, and you haven’t even asked about Yunyao."
"Do you even care about your master anymore?" Mu Tianye frowned.
"Didn’t she already enter the Immortal-Demon Secret Realm?"
"Do you know anything about her situation there?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"Well… no."
"Then why bring it up?"
"That realm is extremely dangerous. You—"
"You knew it was dangerous, yet you still let her go?"
"I—"
"‘I’ what? You have the nerve to lecture me?"
"If anything happens to my master, it’s on you. And I swear, I won’t let you off easy."
"You’re her father, not mine. Don’t think I won’t beat you up."
Chen Chang'an’s words left Mu Tianye completely dumbfounded.
Wait, who’s the father and who’s the son-in-law here?
Why does it feel like I just got scolded by my own future son-in-law?
"Laughing? What’s so damn funny?"
"All of you, scram!"
Seeing the stifled laughter around him, Mu Tianye’s temper flared even more.
"You all—ahem, carry on."
The others were chased away, but when he turned and saw the elders still present, Mu Tianye coughed awkwardly.
These elders all outranked him, so he couldn’t act too boldly.
Fortunately, they gave him face as the family head and left without another word.
Once everyone was gone, Mu Tianye sighed. "Yunyao has been in the Immortal-Demon Secret Realm for decades now."
"Inside, over ten thousand years have already passed."
"There’s no way to know how she’s doing."
Chen Chang'an had heard about this from Mu Yunhai before—one day outside equaled a year inside.
Mu Yunyao had been in the secret realm for over fifty years, meaning over fifteen thousand years had passed for her.
"Relax, my master isn’t that easy to kill."
"If she’s stayed this long without coming out, she must be gaining something valuable."
"But… I’d like to take a look inside that realm myself."
The Immortal-Demon Secret Realm formed after the fall of the Demon World and was one of the larger secret realms.
It likely contained abundant world origin energy, which would be immensely beneficial to Chen Chang'an.
However, for now, Chen Chang'an had to focus on seclusion.
He hadn’t yet fused the two law fragments obtained from the Ye and Mu Families, and he also intended to use this opportunity to break through to the Immortal Monarch realm.
Under Mu Tianye’s arrangements, Chen Chang'an began his secluded cultivation within the Mu Family.
Everyone assumed it would take him at least several decades—after all, breaking through to Immortal Monarch was no small feat.
Yet, to everyone’s shock, he emerged after just one year.
"That fast?"
"You… already broke through?"
Mu Tianye was utterly speechless when he saw Chen Chang'an exit seclusion.
Was advancing to Immortal Monarch really this easy?
"The time was a bit short, but the gains were good."
After fusing the two law fragments, Chen Chang'an’s comprehension of space and time laws had greatly improved.
Moreover, during seclusion, he experimented with applying these laws to the miniature world within his body—and found that it had become significantly more stable.
"Little Mu."
Huh?
Little Mu?
What kind of address was that?
Chen Chang'an’s choice of words made Mu Tianye’s face darken again. Would it kill you to call me ‘Uncle’?
But then again, considering Chen Chang'an called the Ancestor ‘Old Mu,’ Mu Tianye supposed he was getting off lightly.
"I’m your future father-in-law."
"Can’t you use a different title?" Mu Tianye said helplessly.
"Oh, sure, future father-in-law."
"Where is the Immortal-Demon Secret Realm?"
"Take me there."
