779: wake

A thousand years ago, after the great war between the Netherworld and the Dead Spirit Race, the shattered sky was Sealed by their combined efforts.

However, even with the immense power of the Seal, the Netherworld's world barrier was severely damaged and could no longer completely isolate the outside world as it had in the past.

In the thousand years since, the Tianji Pavilion, using the Celestial Mystery Disk, discovered several instances of people from other realms appearing.

These individuals from other realms varied in strength, and they were captured by the Tianji Pavilion as soon as they appeared.

Through communication with these individuals from other realms, the Tianji Pavilion gradually learned that beyond the Netherworld, there were many more grand, magnificent, and even incomparably powerful worlds.

In front of these powerful worlds, the Netherworld was incredibly small.

At the same time, the Tianji Pavilion also learned about the incredibly mysterious Myriad Heavens Battlefield, where countless worlds competed!

Unfortunately, none of these individuals from other realms were able to return to their original worlds, nor could they establish a connection between the Netherworld and the Myriad Heavens Battlefield.

But this time, it was different!

"Grandpa, why are you paying so much attention to this individual from another realm? You even went so far as to hide it from the Eight Great Sacred Grounds and privately release news of the four spirits divine fruit to lure him out?"

The little beggar, Ling'er, asked curiously.

"He's different. He's unlike any of the individuals from other realms who have appeared in our world before. The changes he brings will be earth-shattering."

The old beggar, who was also the Master of the Tianji Pavilion, Tianji Old Man, spoke with a solemn tone, a hint of fear and hesitation flashing in his eyes.

When the previous individuals from other realms appeared, the Celestial Mystery Disk only gave a hint, but this time, it directly stopped functioning, and it remained stopped for half a month.

One must know that the last time the Celestial Mystery Disk stopped was during the great change a thousand years ago, and the duration it stopped was far less than this time.

"Black mist scatters, Bloodline severed, light appears."

Thinking of the nine characters that appeared after the Celestial Mystery Disk resumed operation, Tianji Old Man's heart still surged with endless waves of shock.

The appearance of this individual from another realm would undoubtedly have a greater impact on the Netherworld than the Dead Spirit invasion a thousand years ago.

However, judging from the nine characters deduced by the Celestial Mystery Disk, Tianji Old Man guessed that this change and impact would be beneficial to the Netherworld.

But this was only his own guess; he still needed to find that individual from another realm to confirm.

Just as Tianji Old Man's emotions were stirred, a group of people walked into Green Field Town from the alley entrance.

Leading them was an old man wearing a yellow robe embroidered with Dragon patterns.

This old man had white hair and an aged appearance, but his movements were like a Dragon and a tiger, possessing an extraordinary Aura. His eyes were as bright as stars, and everyone who met his gaze was so startled by the divine light contained within them that they quickly lowered their heads.

Beside this old man was a tall, refined-looking middle-aged man, and behind the two were six burly, armored men with fierce Auras and perfectly synchronized steps.

The crowd at the entrance of Green Field Town, seeing this group of people, immediately made way, not daring to block their path.

"Grandpa, people from the Chu Royal Family are here."

The little beggar, Ling'er, suddenly glanced at the group outside and couldn't help but lower her head, tugging at Tianji Old Man's sleeve.

Hearing this, Tianji Old Man looked up, then quickly withdrew his gaze.

"Troublesome. Why did this old fellow come to Green Field Town? Although the four spirits divine fruit is precious, it's not enough to make this old fellow act."

Tianji Old Man was extremely familiar with the old man in the yellow robe with Dragon patterns.

Chu Kunlun.

The Old Ancestor of the Chu Royal Family, a Ninth-Order Early Stage powerhouse, known as Kunlun True Lord.

The current Emperor of Chu was his direct descendant.

Chu Kunlun had entered seclusion a hundred years ago to explore the True Lord Dharma Realm and had not set foot in the mortal world for a long time.

Now, a hundred years later, even with Tianji Old Man's Ninth-Order Middle Stage strength, he couldn't gauge how strong Chu Kunlun was now.

"This fellow appearing here... That's right!"

"The person beside him has a flourishing Qi that has reached the Eighth-Order Peak, ready to attempt to break through to Ninth-Order at any time. Chu Kunlun is determined to get the four spirits divine fruit to add another Ninth-Order True Lord to the Chu Royal Family!"

Thinking of the middle-aged man beside Chu Kunlun, a hint of understanding flashed in Tianji Old Man's eyes.

The Chu Royal Family's strength had been weakening in recent years. Although they had Chu Kunlun, a Ninth-Order True Lord, guarding them, there was a shortage of talented younger generations.

"This is troublesome. That individual from another realm is also determined to get the four spirits divine fruit, so they will inevitably clash with Chu Kunlun..."

"This old man currently has no confidence in defeating that old fellow!"

Tianji Old Man couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

...

...

Days and nights passed.

As the date of the four spirits divine fruit's emergence approached, Green Field Town became a gathering place for powerhouses, with undercurrents surging in the shadows.

For a time, the entire atmosphere of Green Field Town became incredibly silent, the usual clamor gone. Those "hunters" who usually lived by the Demon Beast Forest, arrogant and unruly, now tucked their tails between their legs.

There was no other way. With the current situation in Green Field Town, if you casually threw a stone into the crowd, it would likely hit a Seventh-Order cultivator from another area.

In such a situation, it would be strange if the "residents" of Green Field Town dared to cause trouble.

However, the external tension had no effect on Wang Chen whatsoever.

Or rather, he was in no mood to pay attention to the changes outside.

"Master, Master, while we were sleeping, you secretly found us another younger sister! That's just too mean!"

"Exactly, exactly! We were here first, but that little Blackie hogged you for half a month all by himself!"

...

In the inn room, Ice Purity Su Su and the other little ones who had just woken from their slumber occupied the only bed in the room, sitting on it and loudly criticizing Wang Chen.

In the middle of the little ones, Dark Titan held her head, helplessly enduring the "sisters'" torment.

She wanted to resist, but unfortunately, every single one of the surrounding few was stronger than her!

"That's enough of you!"

"Stop bullying Dark Titan."

Wang Chen rolled his eyes helplessly, feeling a headache coming on.

It was much quieter when the little ones were sleeping. Now that they were awake, Wang Chen felt like his head was going to explode from their chattering!

"Sure enough, Master, you found a new favorite and forgot about us."

Hearing Wang Chen's words, Ice Purity pouted, covering her eyes with her two small wings, looking as if she was about to cry.

"Heh..."

Seeing this, Wang Chen curled his lips and playfully flicked the little one's forehead from a distance.

"Stop acting. Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"Since Master, you asked, I want to eat a big, big meal, this much!"

Ice Purity spread her small wings, gesturing proudly.

Unfortunately, with her current size, no matter how wide she spread her wings, the size she indicated wasn't much.

"Alright, alright, since you want this much, I'll definitely satisfy you."

Wang Chen said with a chuckle:

"Not only you, but Su Su and Tuan Tuan will also get some."
