School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 1780: 1866: Scheming Plot

“After the master ascends to the Heavenly Monarch Realm, things should become even more interesting.”

Watching Chen Nan prop himself up and straighten his spine, the Haotian Tower felt a surge of excitement in its heart as the young man stood tall.

“The Heavenly Monarch Realm is merely the starting point. From this moment onward, I can be completely candid with him.”

The Haotian Tower mused to itself before soaring to Chen Nan’s side. “Chen Nan, this Little Tower Lord has considered everything. I am prepared to forge the most profound Divine Soul Imprint with you. Henceforth, your triumph will be my triumph, and your suffering will be mine.”

Chen Nan stood, his entire being radiating boundless vitality, yet he had also fully merged with the surrounding Heavenly Dao.

Opening his eyes, Chen Nan inquired, “Little Tower, do you truly mean that?”

The Haotian Tower nodded with utmost sincerity. “Yes, my decision is final.”

“However, I must decline.”

Chen Nan offered a wry smile. “I am still too weak. Should I form the most thorough Divine Soul Imprint with you, and I perish, you might find yourself sealed once more, diminished in power. The endless eons you endured in solitude were profoundly lonely. As your brother, I cannot bear the thought of you experiencing that isolation again.”

“That kind of loneliness?” the Haotian Tower scoffed. “Can such loneliness compare to the torment of an endless, fruitless search among the infinite stars for a worthy master? If we rise together, I will ensure you do not fall easily. If you wish for our mutual well-being, then dedicate yourself fully and fight!”

Chen Nan felt a profound sense of enlightenment.

Indeed, I am not without value. If I grow stronger, perhaps one day the Haotian Tower’s true might can be restored. With its current power exceeding thirty percent, it could obliterate a Half-step Supreme. At its zenith, even a Supreme King would tremble in its presence; what then would there be to fear?

“Little Tower, I accept your proposal. I am no coward. After we complete the imprint, I will shoulder my responsibilities and fight for our honor.”

The Haotian Tower rejoiced. “Precisely! I, the Haotian Tower, have not misjudged you. Your advancement to the Heavenly Monarch Realm this time was not in vain. I am indebted to that White-Haired Divine Beast.”

“So that’s why Bai Shisi lent a hand at the critical juncture. I understand now.”

Though the Haotian Tower owed a debt for its assistance, Chen Nan did not dwell on it excessively. He recognized that the Haotian Tower spoke for itself, and a White-Haired Divine Beast would not necessarily gain any advantage over him.

“Now that I possess the cultivation of a Heavenly Monarch, after I rescue my fellow apprentice and the others, I shall journey to the Outer Domain to save Ou Yifei.”

Having ascended to the Heavenly Monarch Realm, Chen Nan perceived that his every utterance now seemed imbued with the Dao. He unconsciously began to deduce the Heavenly Dao, envisioning the unfolding events upon his arrival in the Outer Domain.

“Chen Nan, regarding the conflict between the Ancient Powers of the Four Extremes World and the Heavenly People Clan in the Outer Domain, you need not fret excessively. Those bird-like beings are being held at bay externally, indicating their limitations. Your true battlefield extends far beyond that confined region.”

With its statement concluded, the Haotian Tower utilized its divine power to lift Chen Nan from his position and absorb him into its tower form.

“Ancestor Ape was not dispatched to this Demon God Mountain via the ancient teleportation array. During the three days and nights you spent recovering, I thoroughly scoured the entire Demon God Mountain. It appears we were misled by that Yin Yang fellow. Nevertheless, this Demon God Mountain is undeniably a place of immense value, perfectly suited for completing the Divine Soul Imprint here.”

The Haotian Tower and Chen Nan then hastened towards a peak on Demon God Mountain abundant with Spiritual Energy.

Witnessing this, Bai Shisi’s lips curled into a triumphant smile. “Ninth Brother, they are making their way to your peak.”

“Damn it, Little Bai Bai, though I am aged, my senses are still sharp… HEY, you two—that Little Tower and Chen Nan—get back here!”

The disreputable old man clad in purple robes gave chase after Chen Nan and the Little Tower.

“Old man, you are exceedingly stingy. You just profited greatly from Chen Nan, and now we merely borrow your peak for a short while, yet you act so distant?”

The Haotian Tower swiveled in the void, expressing its displeasure.

The wretched old man guffawed. “If it were anyone else borrowing, that would be acceptable. But you two are anomalies. If you deplete the Spiritual Energy of my peak, who will compensate me? Unless…”

“Unless what?”

Chen Nan proactively approached the cunning Ninth Grandfather of Demon God Mountain upon hearing his words.

From a distance, numerous Demon Gods observed the unfolding scene, sighing and offering silent condolences.

They felt immense sympathy for Chen Nan. “That fellow has just reached the Heavenly Monarch level and is now dealing with Old Ninth. He is doomed. He has no inkling of how formidable Old Ninth truly is.”

“Unless you’re prepared to take a gamble with me. Should you lose, not only will you be denied borrowing the peak, but I shall also extend my protection. However, if you lose, haha, this Little Tower is rather appealing; it shall remain with me henceforth.”

The disreputable old man’s grin widened into a lecherous expression as he reached out to grasp the Haotian Tower, only for it to easily evade his touch.

“Very well, let us engage in this gamble!”

Chen Nan nodded his assent. “However, I shall dictate the conditions for our game. It is quite straightforward. I merely need to pose three questions to you, and if you succeed in answering all of them, you shall emerge victorious.”

“Heh, not merely three questions, but even if there were three hundred, Ninth Grandfather would not bat an eye. So, young one, are you quite certain that you have the authority over this tower?”

Ninth Grandfather appeared doubtful of Chen Nan’s claim, given that the Haotian Tower possessed a might far exceeding Chen Nan's own.

“Merely three questions, but the Haotian Tower is a treasure superior to Innate Spiritual Treasures. You ought to contribute something more to the wager, perhaps including what you recently acquired. That might, at best, create a semblance of fairness,” Chen Nan mused, scratching his head.

“You drone on endlessly. Fine, fine, I shall include it. Very well, proceed with your questions. Ninth Grandfather is on the verge of being driven to madness by you.” The wretched old man’s ruddy face flushed with agitation.

“Excellent, I am now prepared to pose my questions. Listen closely. The first question: Who were the opposing forces in the Battle of Feishui?” Chen Nan inquired, his demeanor growing somewhat grave.

“I had anticipated a challenging query, but blast it all, it’s exceedingly simple. The pre-Qin dynasty initiated a campaign against the Eastern Jin, and the Eastern Jin secured a monumental victory with a mere eighty thousand troops against an overwhelming force of over eight hundred thousand Qin soldiers. How about that, isn’t Ninth Grandfather remarkable?”

The old man exhibited immense pride. Having existed from the ancient era until the present day, despite his general disinterest in the conflicts of lesser beings, it did not imply an absence of knowledge.

“Ninth Grandfather is indeed astonishing. You have already provided the answer to the second question in your explanation. Now, for the third question…” Chen Nan appeared lost in deep contemplation.

In his mounting impatience and eagerness, the old man’s countenance shifted from anxiety to pallor. Abruptly, Chen Nan posed his question: “Ninth Grandfather, I’ve just conceived of a crucial question. What if the outcome is a draw?”

“As I have stated, should I fail to answer even a single question, I concede defeat. Do you truly believe you possess the capability to answer every single query posed by Old Ninth Grandfather? As for a draw, well, that shall also count as your victory.”

The wretched old man’s gaze flickered about, his shouts directed at Chen Nan, oblivious to the fact that he had inadvertently stepped into Chen Nan’s meticulously crafted trap…
