307: Immortals are no different from ants before him!

After reading this line of fate, Shen Nian turned around, reached out towards Jun Fengyan, and snatched up the still-dazed Bai Ze, grabbing it by the scruff of its neck.

"How much do you know about Candle Nine Nethers, and what do you know about the Ancient Realm?" Shen Nian asked directly via telepathy.

There was a living encyclopedia right here. The Bai Ze lineage had a long-standing Legacy that stretched back to an untraceable era. Furthermore, the memories of the Bai Ze Divine Beast were passed down from generation to generation; Shen Nian knew this, as the Shen Family had many records regarding the Bai Ze Divine Beast.

"Hiss...!!!"

"Kid, are you sick in the head?!"

"I'm still dizzy, is this how you ask questions?!"

"Let me go! Ah, don't, don't, don't! That's not a place you can touch, do you hear me!!!" Bai Ze came to its senses, realized it was being held by the other party, and was instantly furious.

When had it, a Bai Ze, ever suffered such indignity!

This place was a taboo, alright? It wasn't really a kitten or a puppy!

Shen Nian didn't speak, but he did change his posture, scooping up Bai Ze with his right arm. Lowering his eyes, he saw Bai Ze's round, chubby head. He couldn't help but place his hand on its head and stroke it, pausing in surprise.

"Yo, it's actually solid..."

"What does this guy eat to get this fat..."

"Hmm..."

"I have to say, it's quite comfortable..."

Of course, these were just Shen Nian's internal thoughts. At the same time, he transmitted via telepathy: "Can you talk now?"

"You, you, you... stop touching me!" Bai Ze was trembling with rage, but it couldn't break free from that large hand. With its current strength, it was simply no match for Shen Nian.

To think he would touch its head in front of an outsider! It felt incredibly humiliated, yet in its heart, there was an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

This only made Bai Ze feel a surge of shame in its heart.

Damn it!

I am a Divine Beast, how could I have such a feeling!!

This is ridiculous!

The previous position was better than this!

"Tell me what you know, and I'll stop touching you," Shen Nian transmitted, then revealed a meaningful smile. "Otherwise..."

Bai Ze immediately had a bad feeling. Its gaze fell on Jun Fengyan in the distance, but Jun Fengyan only offered a faint smile.

"..." Bai Ze was helpless.

Fine, fine, fine!

I'll endure it!

You win!

However, a hint of surprise welled up in its heart.

He actually doesn't know about the Ancient Realm or Candle Nine Nethers???

Isn't he a Reincarnation of a great power??

"Speak quickly..." Shen Nian urged, rubbing Bai Ze's head.

Bai Ze gritted its teeth, but having no other choice, it could only speak slowly: "The so-called Ancient Realm is when, after achieving Immortal Ascension, one begins to see the footsteps of one's ancestors, explores the Origin of all living things, thereby entering the Dao, giving birth to a Dao Fruit, and stepping through the Ancient Gate to achieve eternity. This is what is called the Ancient Realm!"

"Is the gap between the Immortal Realm and the Ancient Realm very large?" Shen Nian asked.

"Heh, ignorant!" Bai Ze sneered, its eyes filled with disdain.

*Slap!*

A slap landed on its fat head.

"Ouch, you!" Bai Ze bristled, but upon seeing those slightly narrowed, cold black eyes, it instantly lost its temper and honestly explained: "The gap between Immortals and the Ancient Realm is far more than just 'large'. The Ancient Realm has already seen through the Origin of all things. When heaven and earth decay, they remain immortal; when heaven and earth perish, they remain undying. Unless one completely erases the other's Dao Fruit, they can be resurrected in the past or future. Controlling the Origin, creating worlds with a single thought, destroying worlds with a single thought—before them, Immortals are no different from ants!"

While speaking, Bai Ze saw Shen Nian lost in thought and took the opportunity to break free from the large hand. It jumped onto Shen Nian's shoulder, stood with its paws behind its back, and assumed a deep expression. "Young man, this Realm is far, far away from you. Even the Immortal Realm is an existence beyond your reach. Knowing too much too early is not good for you..."

At the same time, Bai Ze kept watching the changes in Shen Nian's facial expressions, trying to guess whether he truly didn't know all of this.

"Huh?"

"It looks like he really doesn't know. What's going on?"

"Could it be that he really isn't some great Ancient Realm master??"

"But that shouldn't be right. Could it be that his memories were sealed just like Master's..."

Shen Nian swept a glance at it indifferently. For the first time, he didn't swat it away, as he needed to ask the cat something. He then continued to ask via telepathy: "Is there a distinction between strength and weakness in the Ancient Realm? What level does Candle Nine Nethers count as?"

He just wanted to figure out the situation of his enemy this time; after all, the System's introduction this time was far too sparse.

As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Ze revealed a rare, grave expression and replied via telepathy: "I can only tell you that this beast is very strong, strong to an unimaginable degree. He is the son of the Ancestral Dragon and the most ancient Mountain and Sea Demon Venerable. Even within the Ancient Realm, he is a Peak existence. Even the Seventh Generation Demon Sealing Master of the past could only Seal him, not kill him completely. Of course, after the Eighth Generation Demon Sealer reached the summit, there was a chance to slaughter him, but for some reason, it wasn't done..."

"Don't be in such a hurry to ask for the reason. There are some things I can't tell you right now. If I did, you wouldn't understand, and it might sound like a different voice to you; this is a restriction. You should also know quite a few things—the entire Fourth Star is just in his belly. But you might not know that the number of Star Domains Candle Nine Nethers has swallowed is countless; the Fourth Star is merely a drop in the ocean. How big his true form is can no longer be measured by words..."

Mentioning Candle Nine Nethers, Bai Ze couldn't help but feel a thick killing intent in its heart. That wicked beast! In the past, the Eighth Generation Demon Sealer, considering that it had been sealed for endless years and seemed to have truly turned over a new leaf, felt a moment of compassion. Coupled with the advice from that person in the Buddhist sect, no one expected it to be a conspiracy!

Otherwise, that beast's Dao Fruit would have long since turned to dust!

How could it have lived until now and even swallowed the Eastern Profound Star!

Upon hearing this, Shen Nian showed a trace of surprise, especially when he heard about the Eighth Generation Demon Sealer.

It seemed that his guess was correct; the destruction of the Demon Sealing Sect was indeed related to Candle Nine Nethers.

"I am quite curious, why are you suddenly asking about Candle Nine Nethers?" Bai Ze asked, unable to help itself, with a look of confusion.

"Nothing much, I just want to understand more so it will be easier to slaughter him when the time comes," Shen Nian replied casually.

As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Ze was slightly stunned. Seeing that handsome, calm face didn't look like it was joking, it couldn't help but sneer: "Heh, you've got quite an ego, wanting to kill Candle Nine Nethers?"

"Did I not make myself clear just now? This is a being that even the Seventh... oh, right, you also know what the Demon Sealing Master represents, so you can understand..."

"Although your ego is a bit big, but... I like it!"

"Kid, congratulations, you have successfully gained a sliver of my favor!" Bai Ze looked at Shen Nian, stretched out a cat paw, patted his shoulder, and encouraged him: "Keep it up. If the Innate Chaos Body reaches Major Achievement, there really is a sliver of a chance. After all, this is the number one Divine Body. However, you must survive until the day of Major Achievement. Don't get killed by Candle Nine Nethers halfway there; that old beast is watching the Eastern Profound Star at all times. If there is even a sliver of possibility that something threatens him, he will destroy it at all costs..."

"Alright, for the sake of what you said, ask whatever you want to ask. As long as I know it."
