167: The Demon Realm's Conspiracy

Su Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked into the distance, a faint coldness emanating from his entire body.

The Xuantian Realm—sooner or later, he would take control of this place.

In the future, this entire world would be the territory of the Su Family.

Because of this, Su Chen had to deal with any enemies that posed a potential threat to the Xuantian Realm.

And then there was that Demon Realm.

Su Chen looked downward, seemingly peering through the membrane separating the Yin and Yang Realms to look directly into the Demon Realm.

Recently, the disturbances in the Demon Realm had become more frequent, as if it were on the verge of breaking away from the Yang Realm.

The old Su Chen might have tried to prevent this, but now he wouldn't bother.

Because he knew very well that it was absolutely impossible for the Demon Realm to break away from the Xuantian Realm; it simply could not happen.

The Yin and Yang Realms were originally one; if forcibly separated, both would collapse, potentially even returning to Chaos.

It was like a person being torn in half—essentially certain death.

Therefore, the possibility of the Demon Realm breaking away from the Xuantian Realm was nearly zero; rather than exhausting effort to make the Demon Realm break away, it would be better for one to leave on their own.

Normally, when a person is born, they are marked by the will of the Heavenly Dao, and all the power they possess originates from the Xuantian Realm.

Once this world disappears, or if one leaves this world, their own strength will be greatly diminished.

There aren't many ways to solve this; one is to enter the Immortal Realm, but that requires reaching at least the Great Emperor Extreme Realm.

Only upon reaching this Realm will the Immortal Realm open the Heavenly Gate to guide them.

Besides this method, there are several other ways to leave the Xuantian Realm, but they are almost all one-way tickets; once you leave, you can never again establish a connection with the will of the Heavenly Dao of the Xuantian Realm.

The consequence of this is the inability to break through to the Saint Realm.

Of course, most who choose to leave the world are not below the Saint Realm, as they wouldn't even have the qualification to survive in the Chaos outside the Realm.

According to many ancient texts, the number of people who have left the Xuantian Realm is very small, with only a few sentences describing them.

Furthermore, those who left have never returned.

Su Chen speculated that the will of the Heavenly Dao rejects outsiders; this self-protection is difficult to breach even for experts of the Great Emperor Realm. After all, though a Great Emperor is strong, how could they compare to the strength of an entire world?

Naturally, those who left would not reappear in the Xuantian Realm.

Thus, it could be judged that the separation of the Demon Realm was completely impossible.

If they did separate, setting aside the harm to the Xuantian Realm, they wouldn't even be able to attack the Yang Realm.

Once separated, the Yin and Yang Realms would be two distinct worlds with no symbiotic relationship; how would the Demon Race reach the Yang Realm?

To move freely within Chaos is extremely difficult even for Great Emperor experts; it requires at least someone of the Immortal Rank.

Chaos is a void where it is very easy to get lost.

Moreover, in Su Chen's view, the Yin Realm has no way to break away because, due to the existence of the Wutong Divine Tree, the current will of the Heavenly Dao of the Xuantian Realm is very powerful; even a Great Emperor expert cannot split the Heavenly Dao.

One must remember that both the Yin and Yang Realms constitute a single world.

“What exactly is the Demon Realm plotting?”

“If they aren't breaking away from the Yang Realm, then what is their purpose? Could it be to destroy the Seal between the Yin and Yang Realms?”

Su Chen took on a thoughtful expression; if that was the case, it was indeed possible.

By pulling at the Yin Realm and making it seem like it was breaking away, the Seal between the Yin and Yang Realms would certainly be damaged in the process.

Could the Demon Realm be in league with the master behind that evil qi?

Su Chen shook his head, his expression utterly calm.

It didn't matter.

Whether it was the enemy behind the evil qi or the Demon Realm, he would simply wipe them all out together when the time was right.

At this moment.

He looked up at the sky; the three auras gradually receded, and all the core members of the Su Family gathered at the mountain peak.

“Big Brother!”

Su Yuanba was full of joy; he stepped forward, feeling the powerful pressure emanating from Su Qingtian, and was inwardly shocked.

“Saint Venerable! So strong!”

Others looking at the three also showed shocked expressions; to Breakthrough directly to the Saint Venerable Realm in such a short time was truly terrifying.

There were also many newly added juniors of the Su Family, like Su Pingtian, who all looked at Su Qingtian and the other two with great curiosity.

They weren't very old, so they had never seen the three before.

Among the crowd of juniors was a young man in white; he had an extraordinary temperament, was strikingly handsome, and the aura on him was also extremely terrifying.

This person was the recognized strongest Prodigy among the third generation of the Su Family, even slightly surpassing Su Pingtian.

Peerless Divine Physique, Su Xiao!

When Su Xiao looked at Su Qingtian and the others, his eyes were filled with awe.

Is this a Saint Venerable level expert?

He had already reached the Perfection of the Dao-Entry Realm, but compared to Su Qingtian and the others, it was like the difference between clouds and mud; the mere pressure made his heart race.

Gradually.

Su Qingtian and the other two opened their eyes, smiles on their faces: “Everyone, I hope you are well.”

He could feel that his strength was now extremely terrifying.

Su Hongyuan scanned the surroundings and saw many unfamiliar faces; he sighed slightly, feeling that in just a short time, the Su Family had become a bit unfamiliar.

Su Yuanba snapped out of it and shouted:

“Little ones, this is your great-grandfather, hurry up and greet him.”

Many young people of the Su Family immediately began to shout in succession; many called him great-grandfather, while many youthful faces called him great-great-grandfather.

Further down, a few toddlers called him great-great-great-grandfather.

Ah, this...

Su Hongyuan was stunned as he watched this; I just went into seclusion once, and my seniority has already reached this level?

Even a great-great-great-grandfather has appeared?

According to the generation, wouldn't that be the child of a child of Su Chen's generation?

If another few hundred years pass, won't I directly become an Old Ancestor level figure?

Su Hongyuan didn't hesitate and handed out gifts one by one, though after so many years in seclusion, he didn't have many valuable gifts on him.

Just then.

Su Chen walked over slowly, followed by two hounds—one was Qingshi and the other was Bai Xiao.

The auras of these two beasts were also very strong now; Qingshi had reached the Saint Realm, and Bai Xiao was at the Dao-Entry Realm.

Following behind Su Chen were Ruoxi and An Qinglian.

Upon seeing Su Chen approach, the scene instantly fell silent; the noise died down, and the juniors all shut their mouths.

Su Chen!

The guardian deity of the Su Family, and the person with the highest status in the hearts of everyone in the Su Family, far surpassing even the former family head, Su Hongyuan.

Su Chen was also the most admired person among all the Su Family juniors, as his legends circulated throughout every corner of the Eastern Region, known to almost everyone.

He killed the Four Great Ancient Saints and slew a Supreme Saint; his strength was heaven-defying!

Su Chen walked up slowly and cupped his hands with a smile: “Father, Grandfather, Second Uncle, congratulations on ending your seclusion.”

Su Yuanba immediately laughed and said: “During the years you were in seclusion, many thrilling things happened in our Eastern Region. Let me tell you all about it...”

Afterwards, Mount Wangyun was filled with laughter and joy.

To celebrate the three Saint Venerables ending their seclusion, the Su Family even held a grand banquet in Wangyun City for three days; anyone could come to eat, and rare treasures were served as food.

At this point.

Everyone finally realized that those three powerful auras from before were not an enemy invasion of the Eastern Region, but rather three members of the Su Family breaking through to the Saint Venerable Realm.

The Su Family already held immense prestige in the Eastern Region, and with the addition of three new Saint Venerables, everyone spoke of the Su Family with expressions of awe.
