Chapter 118: A Complicated Situation

“Spirit race?”

Chen Changsheng could not help but frown slightly.

The Primordial World was home to five great races: humans, demons, the Divine Phoenix Clan, the Divine Dragon Clan, and the spirit race. He had never expected to find spirits in the southern region of the Yinxue Realm as well.

“Young Master Chen, I can now say with absolute certainty that the Yinxue Realm must be a fragment of the Primordial World.”

The Blood Demon Ancestor’s voice rang in Chen Changsheng’s ears through telepathy.

Chen Changsheng nodded in understanding. After a brief moment of thought, he secretly asked the Blood Demon Ancestor, “Old Demon, do you think the Hongmeng Cauldron might appear in this Yinxue Realm?”

The Blood Demon Ancestor was startled. “Young Master Chen, isn’t that a little too fanciful? The Hongmeng Cauldron was shattered long ago. The Primordial World itself collapsed because of it. How could the Hongmeng Cauldron still exist in this world?”

Chen Changsheng, however, did not take it seriously. “Old Demon, you misunderstand me. I’m talking about fragments of the Hongmeng Cauldron.”

At those words, the blood within Chen Changsheng’s body began to boil faintly.

That troublesome world system had once taught him the art of forging. As long as he could gather all the fragments of the Hongmeng Cauldron, he was confident that he could restore it.

Damn!

If he could one day completely restore the Hongmeng Cauldron, that would be unbelievably satisfying.

The Hongmeng Cauldron was the greatest divine treasure in existence, also known as the Earth Mother Cauldron. As long as he possessed it, he believed he could easily control the entire world.

“Fragments of the Hongmeng Cauldron?”

The Blood Demon Ancestor was stunned for a moment before saying, “That is difficult to say.”

By now, the blood in Chen Changsheng’s body was boiling like water over a roaring fire, and his heart was filled with anticipation.

Dantai Wushuang naturally had no idea what Chen Changsheng was thinking. She glanced at Donggong Qianxue and said, “When the final trial begins, if possible, I believe you should choose to cooperate with Princess Murong Lan of the Southern Domain’s Divine Moon Sacred Kingdom and join forces to deal with the two princes of the Sacred Kingdoms from the Western and Northern Domains.”

“Understood.”

Donggong Qianxue nodded.

Dantai Wushuang continued, “The prince of the Molou Sacred Kingdom in the Western Domain, Mo Yinyue, possesses extraordinarily high talent. His cultivation has already broken through to the Third Extreme Dao Realm, and his weapon is a Maitreya Buddha.”

“A Maitreya Buddha?”

Everyone present could not help looking astonished.

“Yes.”

Dantai Wushuang nodded, then asked, “Do you know what the greatest characteristic of Maitreya Buddha is?”

“What is it?”

For a moment, everyone was stumped. They looked at one another in bewilderment.

“Laughter.”

“Laughter?”

“That’s right. The greatest characteristic of Maitreya Buddha is laughter.”

Dantai Wushuang nodded. “But the smile of his Maitreya Buddha is an evil one. Its laughter is filled with a sinister demonic power, making him an extremely dangerous opponent.

“More importantly, he now has the support of the Saint Emperor’s son, Gu Shaobai.”

After a brief pause, Dantai Wushuang continued, “As for the person from the Northern Domain, he is Prince Xiahou Liang of the Cangxue Sacred Kingdom. His strength is likewise formidable, and his cultivation has already broken through to the Second Extreme Dao Realm.

“His weapon is equally mysterious. It is called the Six-Pane Demon Gate. As for its characteristics, I know nothing.”

“The Six-Pane Demon Gate?”

Everyone frowned slightly. From the name alone, they could tell that it was an extraordinary treasure.

Dantai Wushuang raised a hand and lightly touched her smooth forehead before saying to Donggong Qianxue, “Mo Yinyue will certainly join forces with Xiahou Liang to deal with you and Murong Lan. Therefore, joining forces with Murong Lan is the safest choice.”

“Understood.”

Donggong Qianxue nodded. Her beautiful face lifted slightly, and there was a trace of pride in her expression. She was Young Master Chen’s pawn, while Young Master Chen was a mighty figure from the Realm of the Gods.

Hmph. What was there to fear? Just fight!

“By the way, Fairy Dantai, what is the ultimate purpose of this final trial?” Chen Changsheng asked, frowning slightly.

Everyone beside him also turned toward Dantai Wushuang with curiosity.

“The ultimate purpose of this final trial is to select the strongest person. The Sacred Domain will then devote all its resources to nurturing that individual, making them one of the candidates to become the next Saint Emperor. The other candidate for the position is the Saint Emperor’s son, Gu Shaobai.”

Dantai Wushuang continued, “The selection of every Saint Emperor has followed this pattern. One descendant of the Saint Emperor with the most outstanding talent is chosen as one candidate. The other candidate must be determined from among the various Sacred Kingdoms of the Eastern, Southern, Western, and Northern Domains. Only then can the masses be convinced.”

Bing Muer, the Southern Domain Commandery Princess of the Spring and Autumn Sacred Kingdom, spoke with an intelligent and graceful air. “Fairy Dantai, Mo Yinyue, the prince of the Molou Sacred Kingdom in the Western Domain, is one of Gu Shaobai’s people. Does that not mean Gu Shaobai will do everything in his power to support Mo Yinyue and ensure his victory in the final trial?

“After all, dealing with Mo Yinyue would be effortless for him.

“So long as Mo Yinyue wins, it would be equivalent to becoming the Saint Emperor’s sole candidate.”

“Exactly.”

Dantai Wushuang nodded, then added, “But there is one thing you got wrong. It is not only Gu Shaobai who will do everything in his power to support Mo Yinyue. The Saint Emperor himself will also support Mo Yinyue from behind the scenes.”

Chen Changsheng blinked.

Damn, this situation was becoming complicated. The Saint Emperor and his son were both throwing their full support behind Mo Yinyue, while Dantai Wushuang was doing everything she could to support Donggong Qianxue. Gu Shaobai was a lecher who had coveted Dantai Wushuang’s beauty for many years. With the situation now like this…

What a headache!

After letting out a quiet breath, Chen Changsheng glanced at Donggong Qianxue and said to Dantai Wushuang, “Fairy Dantai, Princess Qianxue actually has no intention of becoming a candidate for the position of Saint Emperor. In the future, she will enter the Realm of the Gods with me.”

“That’s right, Fairy Dantai. In the future, I will enter the Realm of the Gods together with Young Master Chen.”

Donggong Qianxue spoke to Dantai Wushuang.

“Not only Princess Qianxue. The four of us will also enter the Realm of the Gods with Young Master Chen in the future.”

Nalan Ruoshui, Bing Muer, Mu Wanqing, and Huangfu Meng spoke together, each of them showing a faintly proud expression.

“What… the Realm of the Gods?”

Dantai Wushuang, Nongyu, and Xianlan were utterly bewildered. They stood there staring at one another.

They had never even heard of the Realm of the Gods.

Mu Wanqing subtly straightened her ample chest and said with a hint of pride, “The Realm of the Gods is an exceedingly advanced immortal-divine realm. Compared with it, the Yinxue Realm is at most one ten-thousandth of its size.

“As for Young Master Chen and his daughter, they came to the Yinxue Realm from the Realm of the Gods primarily because of certain secrets hidden within this realm.”

Chen Changsheng blinked.

Wait, did I ever say that I came from the Realm of the Gods?

Sigh. Miss Mu, your flattery really needs more refinement. You keep aiming for the horse’s hoof instead of the horse’s mouth.

Dantai Wushuang, Nongyu, and Xianlan had already been struck as if by lightning. Their bodies trembled violently, and monstrous waves surged through their hearts.

Heavens! So Young Master Chen was actually from an immortal-divine world. No wonder he was so terrifying.

They recalled the scene of Young Master Chen and his daughter standing before those seven stone steles…

“So Young Master Chen and his daughter are divine immortals from that world. Please forgive our earlier disrespect!”

Dantai Wushuang suddenly felt as though she were walking on thin ice. Her long, graceful eyes were filled with reverence as she respectfully cupped her hands toward Chen Changsheng.
