School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 1851 - 1937: Secret Realm Treasure 4

A vast and formidable group, having just departed the Ancient God Star and not yet flown a great distance, witnessed Chen Nan sense a familiar aura approaching.

With the experts from Demon God Mountain occupied assisting the Dragon Emperor against the Outer Heaven Demon Souls, they should have been far too engaged to divert any attention. The question arose: who could be heading their way now?

Chen Nan initiated a scan with his Divine Sense, and a smile touched his lips. "Ancestor of the Heavenly Gate, it is an honor to have you grace us with your presence. However, I must depart shortly, and I fear I cannot offer you proper hospitality at this moment."

The Heavenly Gate Ancestor chuckled heartily. "Chen Nan, bringing your entire family along like this, the old man nearly mistook you for someone fleeing. If I hadn't come looking for you, would you have completely forgotten about me?"

Chen Nan offered a wry grin. The truth was, he had been so preoccupied lately that if the Heavenly Gate Ancestor hadn't made the first move, he might indeed have overlooked him.

"Hehe, Senior, what are you implying? Is Chen Nan truly that sort of person?" Chen Nan straightened his neck, feigning innocence.

"You rascal, that's precisely the kind of person you are. I've just emerged from seclusion and heard about the major commotion you've caused in the Panlong Star Domain. You are quite audacious, but I must admit, I admire it."

The Heavenly Gate Ancestor gave Chen Nan an approving thumbs-up. "Where are you heading this time, with the Supreme Elder of the Golden Sword Sect in tow? I know that old fellow; he's notoriously cunning. You’d best be cautious."

The Supreme Elder of the Golden Sword Sect, bound by Ji Yueshen with the Chaos Sky Silk, was being practically dragged along like a beast of burden, leading the way.

He shot the Heavenly Gate Ancestor a look of mild reproach. "Heavenly Gate, you old scoundrel, if anyone possesses cunning in this entire Panlong Star Domain, it's you. How many times have you ventured into the Death Star Domain? The treasure maps you've compiled surely can't be any less detailed than mine, can they?"

Upon hearing the Golden Sword Sect elder's words, Chen Nan couldn't help but smirk.

In the arduous path of cultivation, one must always look out for oneself; otherwise, Heaven itself might strike you down. During the previous encounter at the Ancient God Demon Battlefield, he and the Heavenly Gate Ancestor had struck a mutually beneficial deal. Everyone had gotten what they desired, especially now that the Heavenly Gate Ancestor's cultivation had advanced once more, surpassing even the peak strength of the Mo family's patriarch.

Chen Nan hadn't intended to disclose the secret of the treasure. However, the Heavenly Gate Ancestor was already aware of his intentions and clearly aimed to claim a share.

Yet, to be fair, with the Heavenly Gate's extensive network and influence, venturing into such a risky endeavor alone might not have been the wisest course of action.

With additional companions, the act of seizing an opportunity seemed less morally questionable.

"Hahaha, so you intend to join me on this expedition. Why don't we travel together, share our insights, and watch each other's backs?" Chen Nan proposed with a roguish grin. What else could he do? Shamelessness, after all, was an invincible strategy in this world.

For the purpose of exploring the treasures within the God Demon Secret Realm, a thick skin was surely a prerequisite, wasn't it?

"Share? Chen Nan, you have your eyes on my treasure map, don't you?" The Heavenly Gate Ancestor shot Chen Nan a look of mock disdain, flicked his fingers, and a Jade Scroll flew out, landing directly into Chen Nan's hand.

"Frankly, I've long wished to consult with this old fellow from the Golden Sword Sect. After all, if we possess two maps, we can compare them, fill in each other's gaps, and slightly improve our odds."

The Heavenly Gate Ancestor's understanding was so profound that Chen Nan felt a pang of embarrassment, finding it difficult to articulate further. Moreover, the old man's combat prowess was considerable, ranking him among the few formidable half-step Supremes within the Panlong Star Domain.

Embarking on this journey together seemed perfectly appropriate.

The moment the Heavenly Gate Ancestor integrated into their group, he and the Supreme Elder of the Golden Sword Sect immediately commenced a lively session of verbal sparring.

This exchange added a distinct flavor of amusement to the expedition.

Ji Yueshen found herself utterly captivated by the magnificent beards of the two elders. Even before they reached the core of the Death Star Domain, those once-impressive beards had noticeably thinned.

Observing Ji Yueshen's fascinated expression, the eyes of the two elders flickered with a silent, speechless brilliance.

However, in terms of pure cultivation, none of them could rival her, leaving them powerless to object.

Chen Nan mused internally that even he, currently, could not contend with Ji Yueshen unless he activated the Third Form of Chaotic Reversal. Without that ultimate technique, she would remain virtually unbeatable, especially without her Yin Yang Star Plate at hand.

Shortly after their arrival within the Death Star Domain, the group's pace began to decelerate.

The Heavenly Gate Ancestor cast a glance into the distance. "Brother Chen, we are fortunate this time. The Heavenly Wind and Earth Fire energies appear unusually weak, which is quite strange. This suggests we won't need to expend much Divine Power to reach the Secret Realm."

The elder from the Golden Sword Sect expressed his delight, stating, "Indeed, I have been journeying for a thousand years, and this marks the first time I've witnessed the Heavenly Wind and Earth Fire within the Death Star Domain so significantly diminished. Chen, my esteemed friend, you are truly a beacon of good fortune."

Having previously explored the Death Star Domain, Chen Nan was naturally attuned to the witnessed changes.

He found the situation peculiar, yet acknowledged that such occurrences were indeed possible.

The Haotian Tower completed one rotation within the Void, and Chen Nan sensed its displeasure; in fact, its disposition seemed rather subdued.

Could something have shifted? As the group continued their forward trajectory, suddenly, several powerful auras descended from a distance. Chen Nan observed them, his expression turning complex.

These were individuals he recognized from his time in the Magic Realm.

There was Ye Nantian of the Qingtian Sect, Wuji Heavenly Monarch from the Liangji Sect, the Sky Dragon King, Yunlong Heavenly Monarch, and another unfamiliar female Heavenly Monarch whose formidable strength had reached the Half-step Supreme Peak. Her hair was styled in an updo, complemented by small, sharp eyebrows.

Standing beside Ye Nantian and Wuji Heavenly Monarch were aged men, each possessing the Half-step Supreme Peak cultivation state. These two elders exuded an aura of supreme authority with every movement, one clad in a purple robe and the other in yellow.

Upon the appearance of these figures, both Chen Nan and Ye Nantian displayed surprise in their gazes.

However, upon seeing Chen Nan, Ye Nantian's jaw dropped as if confronted by a specter.

This reaction was understandable; Chen Nan had departed the Magic Realm not long prior and had already attained the Mid-stage Heavenly Monarch Realm, now matching Ye Nantian's cultivation level.

He was undeniably astounded, particularly observing Chen Nan's companions—a configuration of two Half-step Supremes, one at the pinnacle and the other in the late stage, both wielding considerable power, yet they appeared remarkably deferential.

The woman accompanying Chen Nan exhibited an astonishingly rapid growth in her cultivation, and as for the young girl adorned with Red Silk, who seemed to bind a Half-step Supreme elder, her true strength remained enigmatic.

With a cursory glance, he dismissed Ji Yueshen, presuming her to be the granddaughter of the elder Supreme, brazenly defying her grandfather with such impunity.

Unbeknownst to him, this diminutive girl possessed the most terrifying cultivation...

"Chen Nan, we received an urgent message from Ghost Sovereign and have arrived to rendezvous with you. Allow me to introduce our party," the Sky Dragon King conveyed with evident joy upon spotting Chen Nan, the Black Forest Demon King, and the Ape Ancestor.

Having reached the Half-step Supreme Realm himself, he believed his own cultivation had advanced at an impressive pace, yet he was surprised to find Chen Nan's contingent boasting two Half-step Supremes, with Ziyun Heavenly Monarch on the verge of breaking through to that very level.

Yet, the whereabouts of Little Heavenly Demon remained unknown. The Sky Dragon King recalled the close bond shared between Little Heavenly Demon and Chen Nan.
