Chapter 1146: The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons

A thousand years is plenty of time for Xu Fan. Once he cracks a few more layers of the system’s rune shell, he’ll ascend to the status of a true Great Luo Sage.

“Looks like I need to step up my game in collecting Xuanhuang aura,” Xu Fan mused, stroking his chin.

Inside the treasure vault, Xu Fan was deep in thought, staring at a heap of Primal Spiritual Treasure embryos.

“With time acceleration, I could forge a Primal Spiritual Treasure in about 10 years, which would cost me hundreds of thousands of crystals of Xuanhuang aura."

“But why bother? It’s better to use the Primal Spiritual Treasure myself. If push comes to shove, I’ll just take my wife on a global treasure hunt,” Xu Fan concluded.

Over in the Wuwang Immortal Realm, Ye Xiaoyao was buzzing with excitement in front of the Great Immortal Emperor’s secret treasure door.

“Old Sword, you’ve outdone yourself! You finally cracked the secret technique to open the Great Immortal Emperor’s secret treasure,” Ye Xiaoyao exclaimed, watching the seal on the door slowly dissolve.

“The treasure’s open, but something feels off,” Old Sword muttered, sounding uneasy.

“What’s the big deal? Once I step through, everything inside is ours,” Ye Xiaoyao declared, striding into the Great Immortal Emperor’s secret treasure.

But inside, it looked like a professional moving crew had stripped the place bare.

The once majestic secret treasure was now just barren land.

“Where’s the palace I built for the secret treasure?”

“And my Immortal Jade Spirit Pool?”

“What happened to the two earthly celestial beasts made from Xuanhuang aura at the entrance?” Old Sword’s voice was rising in panic.

“How should I know? Maybe someone beat us to it,” Ye Xiaoyao suggested.

“No way! There are only a handful in all the Three Thousand Realms who could break the formation of my Great Immortal Emperor’s secret treasure!”

“Something must have gone wrong.”

“Forget about your sect for now. Head to the Wood Origin Immortal Realm. I know the secret technique for another Great Immortal Emperor’s secret treasure there, and it’s even more valuable,” Old Sword advised.

“Alright, let’s make tracks for the Wood Origin Immortal Realm.”

In the star region of the Wood Origin Immortal Realm, a small Immortal Realm, no bigger than an Immortal Jade, was slowly taking shape.

Outside, Feng Chang Ning and a group of high-ranking officials from the Nine Phoenix Dynasty were marveling at the slowly condensing small Immortal Realm.

“National Master, how long until this small Immortal Realm reaches the level you mentioned?” Feng Chang Ning asked softly.

“It might take another 30,000 years. Your Majesty, patience is key. When the time comes, I’ll find the perfect spot in the Immortal Realm for our Nine Phoenix Dynasty’s small Immortal Realm to flourish,” the National Master assured.

Just then, a massive spider web appeared outside the small Immortal Realm.

A light curtain shimmered into view, revealing a stunning woman in radiant white.

“Congratulations on leveling up your small Immortal Realm. I’m green with envy,” the radiant woman said.

“You’re still ahead of me, sister!”

“I hope our two nations can continue to foster friendship and jointly govern this region,” Feng Chang Ning said lightly.

“Absolutely. I’m here to tell you about an Immortal Realm ruin I found deep in the star region. The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons can’t handle it alone, so I thought we could tackle it together,” the stunning woman said with a grin, her sharp little teeth glinting.

“Then let’s stick to our usual deal: a sixty-forty split.” Feng Chang Ning proposed.

“Naturally, working with you is always a pleasure~”

“Afterward, I will send someone to discuss with my sister.”

As the light curtain disappeared, the high-ranking officials following Feng Chang Ning stood solemnly, not daring to speak.

Feng Chang Ning also gazed at the spot where the light curtain had vanished, remaining silent for a long time.

Over the years, she felt both love and hate for the leader of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons.

She hated how the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons indirectly hindered the development of the Nine Phoenix Dynasty.

Yet she loved how her Nine Phoenix Dynasty and the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons supported each other, overcoming countless challenges.

Whenever the Nine Phoenix Dynasty faced destruction, it was the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons that intervened to prevent disaster.

The help was mutual; when the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons faced trouble, the Nine Phoenix Dynasty would also step in.

Now, the two nations had formed a bond, finding themselves in a situation where neither could do without the other, yet the two leaders seemed to disdain one another.

“Your Majesty, it seems you have a long way to go before reclaiming the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons,” the National Master said beside Feng Chang Ning.

“It’s fine; the Nine Phoenix Dynasty has a long journey ahead. Having the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons as a companion on the road is quite good,” Feng Chang Ning replied lightly.

Every time she saw the leader of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, she would think of that person.

“National Master, has the person sent to the Immortal Realm to scout for news returned? Is there any information about the Grand Elder?” Feng Chang Ning asked.

“They just returned not long ago. There is news about the Grand Elder, but it’s uncertain whether it’s true. I hesitated to report it to Your Majesty,” the National Master said, pulling out a jade slip and handing it to Feng Chang Ning.

Feng Chang Ning took the jade slip to inspect it.

As she read, her expression grew complicated, and she finally sighed, putting down the jade slip.

“As expected of the Grand Elder,” Feng Chang Ning murmured.

“Once it was fine, but now it truly feels out of reach,” the National Master said with a wry smile.

Just as the National Master spoke, a large island resembling a Star Ship swiftly sailed through the star region toward the Wood Origin Immortal Realm.

On that large island, a determined man stood at the highest point of the small island, looking down over the entire star region.

Then, as if sensing something, he turned to look in the direction where Feng Chang Ning stood.

“Master, this star region is the territory of the Nine Phoenix Dynasty. It once had some connection with the founding Grand Elder. Since we’re passing by, should we pay a visit?” a voice, mechanical in nature, spoke.

“No need. We are primarily heading to the Wood Origin Immortal Realm. Diverting to the Nine Phoenix Dynasty would mean unnecessary chatter. It’s better to arrive at the Immortal Realm and see the founding Grand Elder sooner,” Wang Xuanxin said assertively.

“Just now, the Hidden Spirit Sect from the Feiyu Realm passed by. Their Sect Leader, Wang Xuanxin, is a domineering figure.”

“Our true immortal puppet detection team encountered them in other middle thousand worlds and was wiped out with a mere wave of their hand.”

“If they weren’t intent on allowing their entire sect to ascend to the Immortal Realm, they would undoubtedly become a great enemy of our Nine Phoenix Dynasty,” one high-ranking official responsible for intelligence said as he approached Feng Chang Ning.

“Indeed, Wang Xuanxin is a strong and ruthless character.”

When Feng Chang Ning exchanged glances with him, she felt a chill from the dominance and determination in Wang Xuanxin’s eyes.

As the Hidden Spirit Island sailed through the star region, it drew closer to the Wood Origin Immortal Realm, and their signal from Grape became clearer.

“Master, I have already contacted Grape.”

“Lord Grape said they will send a Star Ship to guide us to the Wood Origin Immortal Realm,” the current spirit of the Hidden Spirit Island reported.

“Then let’s release Grape’s clone now and prepare the gift I have for Grape.”

“Having sealed the clone for so long, it’s only right to offer some gift to apologize. Otherwise, I might face some difficulties later,” Wang Xuanxin said with a smile.

“Master, rest assured, I will protect you!”
