In the southwestern direction of the Netherworld Demon Territory, above Yuan Demon Mountain.
Space fluctuated, and two figures emerged from within. They were none other than Ye Yun, who had journeyed from the Daluo Region, and the black-robed youth of the Yuan Mo Clan.
"Seniorās speed in tearing space is truly incredible! I remember when I accompanied the Demon Lord to the Tenth Sea Region, even he didnāt tear space..."
Upon appearing, the black-robed youth was extremely shocked.
At this moment, he gained a deeper understanding of this seniorās strength.
As if sensing their arrival, a black ray of light pierced through the air, revealing a voluptuous and alluring woman in a black robe.
"Greetings, High Priest!" The black-robed youth hurriedly bowed, his expression serious as he spoke.
"Why are you back so soon?" The High Priest, curvaceous and alluring, had a puzzled look on her delicate, attractive face. She glanced at the white-robed young man beside him.
This white-robed youth possessed an extraordinary, almost ethereal aura. With his refined features, flowing black hair, and every movement exuding an intoxicating charm, he seemed like an immortal descended to the mortal realm.
THUMP! THUMP!
The High Priestās heart raced.
She had never encountered such a captivating man in her entire life. Even though he was only at the fifth layer of the Divine Monarch Realm, he stood there radiating an immense aura, seemingly even more charismatic than her own Demon Lord. Who on earth is this man? Is his cultivation base higher than Yuan Tigerās?
The High Priest mused silently.
"Reporting to the High Priest, Iāve found the Demon Lordās Purple Gold Pipe. Itās in this seniorās possession. Moreover, Senior is also a fellow enthusiast of smoking and wishes to meet the Demon Lord in person to exchange pointers," Yuan Tiger, the black-robed youth, clasped his fists and said respectfully.
"You found it so quickly, Yuan Tiger?" The High Priest stared at Ye Yun beside him, her face etched with disbelief.
"Yes, High Priest. Please inform the Demon Lord," Yuan Tiger said in a deep voice.
Seeing Yuan Tigerās certainty, a hint of joy touched the High Priestās beautiful face. That Purple Gold Pipe was an item the Demon Lord constantly longed for. To have it found so quickly, and for the other party to deliver it personally, was truly a joyous occasion. However, what the High Priest hadnāt expected was that this remarkably heroic and extraordinary white-robed youth before her was also a man who enjoyed smoking. This truly surprised her.
At this thought, the High Priest even deliberately sniffed with her delicate nose but detected no faint scent of smoke in the air. This left her slightly puzzled.
Ye Yun saw the High Priestās nose twitch slightly and found it rather amusing.
Is she going to sniff me to see if I reek of smoke?
As a non-smoker, he indeed carried no scent of smoke.
"Sigh..." The High Priestās expression suddenly changed slightly. She sighed and said, "Youāve returned a bit late. The Demon Lord has already departed for the Supreme Realm."
"To the Supreme Realm?" The black-robed youth paused, stunned. He clearly hadnāt expected the Demon Lord to be absent from Yuan Demon Mountain at this time.
"How about this: I invite you, fellow Daoist, to rest at Yuan Demon Mountain for some time. The Demon Lord should return after a while." The High Priest smiled, a hopeful glint in her eyes as she looked at Ye Yun.
"Where did the Demon Lord go?" Ye Yun asked with a smile.
Ye Yun naturally understood the meaning behind the expression on the High Priestās face. He was an old hand; what kind of woman hadnāt he seen? However, after signing in for a hundred thousand years, Ye Yunās Dao Heart was firm, and he was not as keen on women as he had been in his previous life.
"Jade Heavenly Venerable of the Supreme Forgetful Love Palace is holding a martial arts contest to choose a spouse, and the Demon Lord has gone there." The High Priest hesitated for a moment but still spoke the truth. It seemed that in Ye Yunās presence, she didnāt dare to hide anything.
Jade Heavenly Venerable?
Upon hearing this name, a muscle in Ye Yunās face twitched, and an indescribable shock reverberated in his heart. From the word āJadeā in her title, he instantly thought of Nangong Jade.
Could it be Nangong Jade?
Ye Yun mused to himself, though he couldnāt be certain.
Besides Jade Heavenly Venerable, the name Supreme Forgetful Love Palace also evoked a strong sense of familiarity in Ye Yun. One hundred thousand years ago, while Ye Yun and Yun Xiao were exploring ancient ruins, they had discovered an unparalleled ultimate technique. It was the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Path that Yun Xiao later cultivated. Cultivating this technique, while allowing for rapid advancement in oneās cultivation base, also rendered one devoid of emotions and desires, completely changing the person. This was equivalent to severing all emotional ties to achieve the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Path. Yet, within the Divine Land, there existed a Supreme Forgetful Love Palace. This inevitably led Ye Yun to make certain connections.
I must make a trip to this Supreme Forgetful Love Palace, and also see who this Jade Heavenly Venerable truly is,
Ye Yun thought.
"High Priest, did the Demon Lord go to the Supreme Forgetful Love Palace to participate in the martial arts contest for marriage as well?" Yuan Tiger, the black-robed youth, asked in a low voice from the side.
"I believe so. It seems the Demon Lord was very keen on this martial arts contest. He set off immediately after receiving the news; itās been three days since he departed," the High Priest replied.
"In which direction is the Supreme Realm?" Ye Yun looked at the High Priest and asked calmly.
Under Ye Yunās gaze, the High Priestās face flushed slightly, and she quickly extended a delicate hand, pointing in a certain direction.
"Iāll go find your Demon Lord, and Iāll also make a trip to the Supreme Realm." Ye Yun smiled faintly and vanished from the spot in an instant.
"Heās gone already?" The High Priest sighed, a look of disappointment on her face. She had hoped to keep the white-robed youth here for a few more days, at least until the Demon Lord returned. Unexpectedly, upon hearing about Jade Heavenly Venerableās martial arts contest for marriage at the Supreme Forgetful Love Palace, this white-robed youth had also rushed off after it.
Men... none of them are any good,
the High Priest cursed inwardly.
"How can there be a cultivator at the Divine Monarch Realm on the Cangnan Continent?" The High Priest, having regained her composure, turned and asked.
"I donāt know about that, High Priest. However, Seniorās cultivation base is not at the Divine Monarch Realm, but at the Divine Sovereign Realm," Yuan Tiger said respectfully.
"What? Heās like the Demon Lord, also with a cultivation base at the Divine Sovereign Realm?" The High Priest exclaimed in surprise, her face paling. She had never imagined that this white-robed youth was also a supreme expert at the Divine Sovereign Realm.
"High Priest, for Jade Heavenly Venerableās martial arts contest, do participants really need to have a cultivation base at the Divine Sovereign Realm?" Yuan Tiger asked with a grin, as if a thought had struck him.
"Although Jade Heavenly Venerable is at the Half-step Divine Venerate Realm, the Supreme God Sovereign has decreed this time: anyone wishing to participate in the martial arts contest must have strength exceeding Jade Heavenly Venerableās, and the minimum cultivation base is the First Layer of the God Sovereign Realm," the High Priest said irritably.
"The Supreme God Sovereign is a Spirit of the Human Race. To find a husband for Jade Heavenly Venerable, shouldnāt they be looking for a Spirit of the Human Race? Why can our Demon Lord from the Yuan Mo Clan also participate?" Yuan Tiger asked, puzzled.
"The Supreme God Sovereign of the Supreme Forgetful Love Palace has seven direct disciples, known externally as the Seven Great Celestials. Apart from Jade Heavenly Venerable, all the others are Spirits of the Human Race," the High Priest said.
"Then Jade Heavenly Venerableāif not a Spirit of the Human Race, what is she?" Yuan Tiger asked anxiously.
"How would I know? The Supreme God Sovereign wasnāt clear about it this time either." The High Priest glared, a powerful aura erupting from her, startling Yuan Tiger so much that he quickly bowed his head and dared not speak further.
