204: A single blade of grass can cleave the sun, moon, and stars!

Seeing this, Shen Nian raised an eyebrow slightly. His Chaos aura surged, and he threw a punch imbued with divine Chaos radiance, with a sense of destruction flowing within it.

Boom!

This punch already contained a trace of the true meaning of Chaos, transcending the Laws of the Heavens.

Bang!

The old man's phantom stumbled back repeatedly, nearly losing his footing. He exclaimed in shock, "Good lad! A Chaos Body?"

"With this talent, even in the past, you would have been the direct disciple of the Demon Sealing Master of our Demon Sealing Sect. Good, wonderful! There is hope!"

Hearing this, Shen Nian's eyes lit up, and he asked curiously, "Are you from the Demon Sealing Sect?"

"Go back..."

"Why are you in such a rush?" the old man said nonchalantly, as if he hadn't heard the question.

Upon hearing this, Shen Nian stopped speaking. If he wouldn't say it, then so be it.

At the same time, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass rewarded by the System in his Sea of Consciousness began to flutter. Since he couldn't take him out in one hit, he would just have to use a cheat.

He had come this far.

You want Shen Nian to give up?

Impossible!

"System, simulate the Grass Character Sword Art."

[Ding, starting simulation of the Grass Character Sword Art]

[In the first year, you comprehended the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass within the ancient world. Your Sword Dao talent is now far greater than it was before. In just one year, you glimpsed a trace of the true meaning. At night, you rose and saw the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass suddenly ascend into the sky. At this moment, you couldn't even get close to it...]

[In the tenth year, you emitted immense Sword Intent. You spent ten years without being able to enter the threshold. This was no longer about talent; rather, this sword art was simply not something a Mortal could Cultivate. However, having simulated for hundreds of years, you were already used to it and planned to grind it out with time...]

[In the hundredth year, you were already able to approach the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, and even touch its sword leaves. You clearly perceived that terrifying Sword Intent, and your breathing was in sync with the swaying of the sword grass. Gradually, you seemed to disappear within this world, becoming one with the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass...]

At this moment, an indescribable Sword Intent radiated from Shen Nian's body.

"He's comprehending a Divine Ability on the spot?" The old man's phantom was somewhat stunned; this was the first time he had ever encountered such a situation.

But the next second.

"Holy crap!"

"How is he comprehending it so quickly!"

"This aura, what level is this?"

"Immortal?"

"How is it possible to comprehend an Immortal-realm Divine Ability in the blink of an eye? This defies logic. Where did this Prodigy pop out from?!" the old man exclaimed.

[In the two hundredth year, a single blade of grass can sever the sun, moon, and stars, break time and space, and crack the Universe. Grass Character Sword Art — Immortal Emperor level, entry achieved.]

The power of an Immortal Emperor-level Divine Ability that Shen Nian, with his current Sword Dao talent, had spent two hundred years mastering, was self-evident.

Nine leaves spun within Shen Nian's eyes. He didn't feel that the preaching value had been wasted; after all, he had intended to Cultivate this sword art anyway.

The next second.

"Wait, I'll step aside!" the old man hurriedly said, but upon seeing the Sword Intent radiating Immortal Emperor pressure approaching, his mouth twitched.

Damn it!

This freak of a kid is really... quite decisive.

I'm just a guardian spirit, is all this necessary?

The next instant.

The Grass Character Sword Art slashed out, endless Immortal radiance dancing, and the old man's body was split in two...

At this very moment.

Outside the stone gate of the ancestral land.

"Old Ghost Shen, are you saying he forged a thirty-six layer immortal palace?" Old Man Tianji looked at Shen Min with a stunned expression.

Seeing his look of astonishment, Shen Min couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. He chuckled and said, "It's nothing special, just thirty-six layers. What are you getting so excited about..."

"???"

"thirty-six layer immortal palace??"

"Are you sure it's that many?!" Old Man Tianji grabbed Shen Min's shoulder, his old face filled with excitement.

Slap!

"Let go!" Shen Min swatted his hand away, looking at Old Man Tianji with a hint of surprise. "What's wrong?"

This was the first time he had ever seen Old Man Tianji lose his composure like this.

"I won't let go!"

"Tell me first if what Shen Nian forged is a thirty-six layer immortal palace!" Old Man Tianji's expression turned serious.

"Yes!" Shen Min nodded, then immediately asked, "What about it?"

Upon hearing this, Old Man Tianji looked enlightened and muttered, "No wonder..."

"No wonder I couldn't deduce his past or future. The thirty-six layer immortal palace really exists; the historical records of the Human Emperor Hall are true..."

"For someone with a thirty-six layer immortal palace to appear in the Eastern Profound..."

Shen Min looked at him, frowning. "What are you muttering about? What exactly is going on?"

"Nothing much. I've decided: Shen Nian is the new generation's Human Emperor. No assessment is needed. Once he comes out, I will announce his identity as the Human Emperor!" Old Man Tianji said with a serious expression.

One with a thirty-six layer immortal palace is invincible at the Dao Integration stage and can slay Immortals!

The first Human Emperor of the Human Emperor Hall left a message: if such an existence truly appears, he shall be the Human Emperor of this era!

Upon hearing this, Shen Min was slightly stunned. "Are you crazy?"

The position and power of the Human Emperor are immense; he is the true leader of the billions of the Human Race. For so many years, countless Dao Integration experts have vied for this position, but none have been able to get the nod from Old Man Tianji.

But Shen Nian is only at the Void Return First Layer, and he's only twenty years old.

Suddenly putting him in the position of Human Emperor, one could say, is even more exaggerated than him becoming the Shen Family Clan Chief. After all, one is a Family matter, and the other is the common Emperor of the Human Race.

"I'm not crazy, I'm serious. You're allowed to be willful and name him Young Clan Leader, but I can't?" Old Man Tianji said, his gaze falling on the points of light constantly appearing on the stone gate.

Shen Min frowned. After realizing that Old Man Tianji wasn't joking, he said somewhat displeased, "Being the Shen Family Clan Chief is already enough. Must you force him to shoulder so much?"

With Shen Nian being both the Shen Family Clan Chief and the Human Emperor, he didn't even dare to imagine how much the Yao Race would want to kill him.

The pressure he would have to face would likely be even greater than his own.

"With great power comes great responsibility; he cannot hide from it."

"Moreover, the fact that he forged an immortal palace won't be hidden from the Yao Race sooner or later. It's only a matter of time before they make a move on him. Rather than waiting, it's better to just play our cards openly. If your Shen Family, my Human Emperor Hall, and his uncle can't protect him even with our lives, then what's the difference between the Human Race existing and being destroyed?"

Old Man Tianji let go of his hand and said earnestly.

Shen Min didn't speak upon hearing this. Indeed, whether Shen Nian becomes the Human Emperor or not, the matter of him forging an immortal palace won't be hidden from the Yao Race forever; after all, this sky is under the control of the Demon Dao.

"Hmm?"

"This area..."

"Damn it, what does this kid want to do?!" Old Man Tianji suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

Shen Min took a look, and his expression also changed drastically.

"Oh no!"

"How could he rush into such a deep place? Even I couldn't reach the shore there in the past!"

"How could he possibly defeat them?!"

Old Man Tianji gritted his teeth. "You weren't watching him either! Couldn't you have told him more? If anything happens to our Human Emperor, I'll hold you accountable!"

Shen Min's mouth twitched. It's already yours?

He hasn't even agreed yet!

However, Shen Min looked at the points of light on the stone gate solemnly. Knowing that the point of light had passed through the scene of the Heavens and Sutra Sea, he was completely stunned in place.

"He actually made it through..."

"How did Xiao Nian manage to do this..." Shen Min murmured, his expression shocked.

That place...

In the history of the Shen Family, only the Second Ancestor had ever set foot there. It was only after coming out of that place that the Second Ancestor began his path of invincibility, sweeping across his peers, slaying demons across realms, and climbing all the way to the peak of the Dao Integration stage!

He even achieved Immortal Ascension in the Lower Realm!

Old Man Tianji pondered for a moment and said, "Old Ghost Shen, does our Human Emperor have a Divine Body?"

"No." Shen Min shook his head, then added, "Don't you know he Cultivates the Golden Body Technique? Isn't it normal for his Physical Body to be stronger than an ordinary Cultivator's?"

"No!"

"This is different!" Old Man Tianji shook his head, his eyes narrowing slightly.
