Chapter 189

What transpired with the Demon Emperor and the Star Sea, Jiang Chen naturally did not know. At this moment, he had already returned to the Primordial Holy Land.

Within the Banished Immortal Peak. It was as peaceful as usual, with only Mu Jianxue instructing Jing Muyu. One must admit, this little girl was advancing rapidly and now had quite the demeanor of a female sword immortal.

“Brother Jiang Chen, you’re back!” Seeing Jiang Chen appear not far away, Jing Muyu immediately showed a delighted smile.

“Focus on practicing your swordsmanship!” Mu Jianxue’s voice followed, her indifferent tone causing Jing Muyu to immediately concentrate.

“You can choose any palace here to stay in! There’s nothing else required of you!” Jiang Chen, familiar with the surroundings, lay down on a chair, basking in the sunlight, feeling utterly at ease.

“If you’re not familiar with this place, I’ll show you around.” Yan Ruyu revealed a gentle smile, her tone soft.

“Okay!” Zi Qingyan nodded and followed Yan Ruyu, getting somewhat acquainted with the environment.

“Is it resolved?” Mu Jianxue asked Jiang Chen, while continuing to guide Jing Muyu.

“Yes! Just a petty clown, not worth paying attention to!” Jiang Chen’s tone was flat, showing no concern at all.

“Aren’t you afraid of the forbidden zone’s retaliation?” The Third Ancestor sat down nearby, slightly speechless.

He couldn’t tell if Jiang Chen was broad-minded or something else. Even after tearing faces with the forbidden zone, he was still the same as before. He had thought that after returning, Jiang Chen would take some measures. It seemed he was overthinking.

“Why should I be afraid? The old monsters in the forbidden zones can hardly take care of themselves. Moreover, they aren’t fools. There’s no need to deal with us for Zi Qingyan’s sake!”

Jiang Chen yawned and said, “I think you’re overestimating the forbidden zones and underestimating our holy land. We aren’t just any ordinary force.”

“Even facing the forbidden zones, we have the strength to fight. Now, these old guys are all waiting for an opportunity, all in hiding, unwilling to let their vitality decline!”

“Them acting now would be no different than killing themselves!”

The Immortal Path is about to open. This is a heavenly secret sensed by the old monsters in the forbidden zones. To welcome the long-awaited opportunity, these old monsters definitely wouldn’t make a move. Even if the heavens collapsed, they wouldn’t act.

Because each action brings damage to them. This kind of loss is irreversible, and to replenish the energy expended requires devouring countless vitality. And to obtain such an amount of vitality would require a massive number of living beings.

If it were just one person, it would easily provoke the wrath of the entire Nine Heavens Realm, leading to attacks from countless forces.

No matter how strong the old monsters are, facing a dozen or so emperor weapons would surely make them change their expressions. Therefore, unless the Immortal Path opens, these old monsters are unlikely to appear.

“If you, Third Ancestor, went to the Chaotic Star Sea to curse at the old monsters, they would probably pretend not to hear! So, you don’t need to worry about their retaliation!”

“Even if they retaliate, we have the strength to fight. Even with only sixty percent compatibility with the Great Accomplishment Dao Body, we can contend a bit. Plus, with three emperor weapons, it’s enough to deal with one old monster!”

At this point, Jiang Chen paused for a moment and said, “The Land of Heaven’s Abandonment is an exception; that place is very eerie!”

Like the major forces, the forbidden zones also have hierarchies. The strongest is definitely the Land of Heaven’s Abandonment, and the weakest is undoubtedly the Chaotic Star Sea.

That’s why Jiang Chen is not afraid of the Chaotic Star Sea, as it is one of the few forbidden zones the Primordial Holy Land can handle. He also understands the character of the old monster in the Chaotic Star Sea, who is very cowardly.

Unless the Immortal Path opens, this old monster will definitely not show up.

“Since you put it this way, I can rest assured!” The Third Ancestor, rarely, let out a sigh of relief.

Unlike Jiang Chen, he didn’t know these secrets. Combined with the old legends, the various forces in the Nine Heavens Realm are extremely wary of the forbidden zones.

The very mention of them makes people tremble. The main reason is that the forbidden zones are too mysterious. Each appearance causes a huge disturbance, and even emperors find it hard to contend with.

With such a background, it’s natural for them to be cautious and prudent. This is very normal. If Jiang Chen were unaware, he would probably be like the Third Ancestor.

In a certain sense, overt power is not necessarily the most frightening; the unknown is the most terrifying. Because you can’t gauge the depths of the opponent, you don’t know if you’re striking against an impenetrable rock.

Thus, there will be various suspicions.

“My good disciple, where is your Dao companion?” Then Holy Lord of the Primordial Holy Land arrived late, looking around curiously.

“Master, you’re acting too fake! With your cultivation level, your divine sense covers the entire holy land. How could you not know where she is?” Jiang Chen couldn’t help but complain.

It was too fake, hard to watch. When they returned, Dongfang Mingyue should’ve already known.

“Your guts have grown, huh!” Dongfang Mingyue’s face immediately darkened, and an overwhelming sense of pressure swept over.

“Third Ancestor?” Jiang Chen looked towards the Third Ancestor.

In an instant, everyone turned their heads as if they didn’t see anything! Jiang Chen was exasperated. Was this really necessary?

“Forget it, you speak! How do you plan to arrange Zi Qingyan?” Dongfang Mingyue withdrew her aura and sat to the side, speaking softly.

“Zi Qingyan’s physique is extraordinary. Didn’t you have any other thoughts when you brought her over? You must know that the Ancient Desolate Demon Domain has an intense desire for her, and various harassments in the future are inevitable!”

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes and said blandly, “What other thoughts could I have? Let’s just go with the flow! Besides, I’ve only met her once, we’re not that familiar yet! Moreover, everything has a process!”

To say that he had no thoughts about Zi Qingyan would definitely be a lie. However, Jiang Chen understood Zi Qingyan’s personality. She seemed indifferent but was actually very strong-willed.

If he took advantage of the situation now, it would definitely be difficult to develop things further in the future.

She would naturally consider it just a transaction. Therefore, to ensure Zi Qingyan becomes like Yan Ruyu, it is essential to nurture their feelings.
