The Spirit of the Secret Realm was completely dumbfounded.
What kind of bizarre statement was this?
Had it been anyone else, it would have mercilessly stripped Jiang Che of his right to enter the secret realm and expelled him without hesitation!
But it did not dare!
Leaving aside the fact that he possessed five great immortal physiques and even a Dao bone—a terrifying level of talent unheard of even in the Ancient Heavenly Court during the peak of the immortal era.
Just that face alone was enough to make it tremble in fear.
Familiar, it was far too familiar a face, enough to fill it with terror.
"Hey, I'm asking you a question! Are there any girls in this Ancient Heavenly Court secret realm of yours? I heard that above the ninety-ninth heaven, there is a fairy sealed in an ice coffin... Is this true?"
The Spirit of the Secret Realm glanced at Jiang Che, then made a judgment in its heart.
The person in front of it absolutely could not be related to that Demon Ancestor. Even though their appearances were incredibly similar, the Demon Ancestor was calm and steady. He would never be like this man in front of it... talking about women every time he opened his mouth.
The Demon Ancestor was such a stunningly brilliant figure; wasn't it perfectly normal for a similar flower to bloom in the long river of history?
But even so, it didn't want to let Jiang Che go!
Because this person's talent was simply too terrifying! He was much stronger than that bullshit Chu Yuan it had recruited earlier.
Although Chu Yuan possessed the Chaos Immortal Physique—a physique rarely seen in hundreds of thousands of years—it couldn't compare to Jiang Che, who was even more heaven-defying.
Comparing people only brings despair; comparing goods only makes you want to throw the lesser one away!
"Challenger, what do you mean by this?"
"I already told you, I came here for the girls. If there are no girls in your trial secret realm... do you think I have nothing better to do than come here?" Jiang Che grew a bit impatient.
"Let me remind you, I am an immortal species. If there are no girls in this secret realm of yours, I will throw this Heavenly Court token straight into my outhouse. I'll make sure your Ancient Heavenly Court can't find an heir for a million, no, ten million years, letting it be completely annihilated in the river of history."
Trial Spirit: "......"
It felt the urge to curse. It was merely an artifact spirit refined by the Heavenly Emperor, surviving for over a million years under the protection of the Heavenly Court's destiny. Its sole purpose was to wait for a suitable challenger to appear, help him achieve the position of Heavenly Emperor, and recreate the glory of the Heavenly Court.
To put it bluntly, it was just a lowly worker. If there really were no women in this secret realm, would it have to turn into a woman itself?
"Challenger, I know you are very confident, but do you know how many treasures will be revealed when my Ancient Heavenly Court secret realm is fully opened?"
"Cut the damn crap! If you keep blabbering, I'll destroy you right now, believe it or not?" Jiang Che revealed his aura. The outline of the Supreme Dao Source within his body manifested, and supreme power filled the air.
He held a Fatal Strike Card in his hand. Although he didn't know if the Fatal Strike Card would work on this guy, if this Spirit of the Secret Realm said one more word of nonsense, he would slap it right onto its forehead.
"You, you, you—"
The Spirit of the Secret Realm was utterly shocked.
What the hell was this situation???
If it hadn't sensed incorrectly, that should be the Supreme Great Dao Source, right???
But how was this possible? Wasn't the Supreme Great Dao Source in the hands of the True Dragon Immortal Emperor? The True Dragon Immortal Emperor was defeated by the Heavenly Emperor with a single sword strike back then, and the Supreme Dao Source had disappeared along with him.
What was even more outrageous was, how could the Great Dao Source acknowledge an Emperor as its master... Uh, wait, this wasn't an ordinary young Emperor. This was someone with five immortal physiques, so it didn't seem entirely out of place.
Of course, what terrified it the most was actually the object in his hand, which surprisingly gave it a fatal sense of threat.
This thing could kill it!!!
It was the guardian spirit of the Heavenly Court secret realm, blessed by the Heavenly Emperor's destiny. It had remained immortal for a million years, and not even time could obliterate it.
But its intuition was never wrong!
In an instant, it lost all its pride.
"Hehe, challenger..." The Spirit of the Secret Realm transformed into a little flying pig and flew in front of Jiang Che.
Obviously, this was the Spirit of the Secret Realm's first time interacting with Young Master Jiang, and it didn't know his preferences. To think it actually transformed into a flying pig?
Anyone with a bit of sense would have transformed into a little loli.
"Are there any?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The Trial Spirit was extremely afraid of death. "Of course there are. This trial ground is connected to the former Ancient Heavenly Court."
"As far as I know, above the ninety-ninth heaven, there is a crystal coffin. Sealed inside the coffin is the Heavenly Emperor's favorite daughter, who is also the Heavenly Emperor's only bloodline."
What kind of Spirit of the Secret Realm was this? It had no professional ethics at all.
"Heh... interesting."
Jiang Che laughed out loud. He just felt that this world was inexplicably somewhat hilarious.
In the unseen world, he seemed to see a middle-aged man appear before him, shouting, "Young Master Jiang, I leave my daughter in your care."
Clearly, this was yet another guy coming to deliver a wife to him.
It wasn't that Jiang Che was arrogant, but because everything was simply too coincidental.
Who in their right mind would seal their own daughter in an ice coffin? And even put her in a secret realm?
"When the Ancient Heavenly Court was destroyed, the Heavenly Emperor personally sealed her in the ice coffin..."
Jiang Che said slowly, "If I'm guessing correctly, did the Heavenly Emperor cultivate the Great Dao of Karma and Destiny? Or perhaps the Dao of Space-Time and Chaos?"
The Spirit of the Secret Realm froze for a moment. "Young Master, the Heavenly Emperor dabbled in all the Dao methods you mentioned. The Dao-level cultivation technique he created records nine different paths of the Great Dao, covering the nine supreme Daos: Time, Space, Chaos, Yin-Yang, Five Elements, Destiny, Karma, Reincarnation, and Silence..."
When mentioning the Heavenly Emperor, a look of fanaticism flashed in the eyes of the Spirit of the Secret Realm.
"Is he that badass?" Jiang Che was slightly surprised. "I kind of want to see what a real Heavenly Fairy looks like now!"
Spirit of the Secret Realm: "......"
Why was this guy's focus completely different? It was all focused on women!
...
"Rumble—"
Countless lightning tribulations struck his body, but they couldn't harm Jiang Che in the slightest.
In the past, he might have been interested in exploiting the heavenly tribulation for benefits, but now... tribulation lightning liquid was nothing compared to points!
Having activated the Flawless Defense Item Card, even the most badass lightning tribulation couldn't inflict a single bit of damage on him.
The simulated Heavenly Dao of the trial stage became extremely frantic because it couldn't lock onto its target!
It clearly sensed the target's existence, but despite using all its tricks, it still couldn't cause any damage. All the power of the lightning tribulation was deflected by the defense.
"Young Master... why don't you let it strike you a couple of times? Otherwise, I feel like this simulated heavenly tribulation might not give up?"
Watching from the side, the Spirit of the Secret Realm's mouth twitched. This guy's methods were a bit too heaven-defying.
He felt even more monstrous than the Demon Ancestor back in the day.
"Strike me? Why don't you get struck instead?" Jiang Che cast a sidelong glance at the Spirit of the Secret Realm. The appearance of this little flying pig made his culinary skills itch to be used.
Furthermore, this lightning tribulation looked far too terrifying. Due to Jiang Che's provocation, the original Great Emperor-level lightning tribulation had now upgraded to an Immortal Tribulation!
"And another thing, this lightning tribulation is taking way too much time. All the subsequent tribulation stages, anything that wastes time... cancel them all for me."
lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him. Even the skeletons he looked down on the most were ominous demon kings that suppressed countless worlds. Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along...
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
