Chapter 209

**Chapter 209 Temporary Return**

Who is he!

How could he refine a demonic body!

Among the outstanding youths of the various families, they basically all knew each other or at least heard of each other’s names.

But this individual before them, none of them had ever seen.

“May I ask, Dao brother…”

“Get lost!”

Chen Ansheng was not in a good mood, and his previous actions were forced, not for the sake of saving these people.

With that shout, the others exchanged glances, feeling annoyed, but they dared not act out, so they could only nod and leave.

“Damn you, Spider Spirit! If I catch you, I will torture you to death!”

Thinking of Chen Yuling’s plight made Chen Ansheng extremely uncomfortable.

It felt like finding a long-lost sister only to see her taken away by a bad person right before his eyes.

But now, regardless of the situation, he could only accept it quietly.

After all, the Spider Spirit was at a higher cultivation level than him; acting rashly would lead to no good outcome.

“Hmm? The time to cross over seems to be approaching.”

Just as he was feeling frustrated, Chen Ansheng sensed a subtle vibration from the Cross-Border Stone, as if reminding him to return to the Immortal Realm.

Calculating the time, it had not been short since he came to this Lost Realm.

“Forget it, I’ll go back for a while. With the twelve hours of cooling for the Cross-Border Stone, the assessment here shouldn’t be over yet.”

He then found a deserted spot and activated the Cross-Border Stone.

Buzz.

The space trembled slightly, and his figure vanished from the spot.

Just after Chen Ansheng left, a group of black shadows began to gather where he was.

“How could this be!”

The black shadow was shocked, frozen in place, unable to restrain its exclamation!

……

In the Immortal Realm, Ziyun Cave.

When Chen Ansheng appeared, he immediately activated his defenses.

Fortunately, there was no one else around.

Scanning his surroundings, Chen Ansheng saw a scene of devastation; the summit of the immortal mountain had been blown to bits.

“Did the Demoness and her master manage to escape?”

Remembering the urgent situation at that time, Chen Ansheng had to activate the Cross-Border Stone to escape. Those Celestial Immortals had focused all their attention on Zhong Li and Saintess Ziyun, completely unaware of Chen Ansheng’s sudden disappearance.

For safety’s sake, Chen Ansheng prepared to leave this place immediately.

“It seems I must temporarily set aside matters of returning home.”

The situation on the other side of the Lost Realm had not been resolved, and once the assessment time ended, if the Spiritual Realm fell into the hands of others, the losses would be great.

Thus, Chen Ansheng had to wait for the cooling of the Cross-Border Stone before returning to the Spiritual Realm.

“That controlling spirit really has boundless powers; even my immortal body can be rendered mortal. I wonder what exactly is going on? Perhaps I should ask my master next time I cross over?”

As Chen Ansheng walked out of Ziyun Mountain, he contemplated.

His master, Elder Ji, being an extraordinary Law Cultivator, had broad knowledge. Asking him would give more assurance in controlling the Spiritual Realm!

“Hmm, that’s what I’ll do.”

Concealing his presence, he cautiously moved away from Ziyun Cave. Once out of it, Chen Ansheng began cultivating in a deserted mountainous area, quickly passing the twelve hours.

As time was up, he immediately activated the Cross-Border Stone, arriving at Dragon Bone Abyss in the Mysterious Realm.

“Good disciple, you’re back!”

Upon reaching Elder Ji’s territory, he sensed Chen Ansheng’s arrival and immediately drew him into a restriction.

“Disciple, pay respects to Master.”

Chen Ansheng respectfully bowed.

“Pay respects to Master!”

Just as he finished his salute, Chen Ansheng’s disciple Xuanyuan Lie hurriedly bowed as well.

“Take a seat, have some tea.”

With a wave of Elder Ji’s hand, tea was prepared on the stone table under the willow tree in front of the thatched cottage.

After taking a sip of tea, Chen Ansheng got straight to the point, saying, “Master, I’ve inquired about the Unowned Land and intend to go occupy a territory to set up an Ascension Pool, to bring you back to the Immortal Realm.”

Upon hearing this, Elder Ji paused for a moment.

Returning to the Immortal Realm… this had been his constant longing for seventy thousand years.

After all, the rules of heaven and earth in the lower realms are weak, and there’s not enough immortal spiritual energy; it’s difficult just to maintain life, let alone heal and recover.

Only by returning to the Immortal Realm could he one day regain his peak.

After a moment of silence, Elder Ji slowly spoke, “Disciple, there is no need to rush. After all, your cultivation level is still low. Recklessly placing the Ascension Pool may bring you disaster.”

Although Elder Ji deeply desired to return to the Immortal Realm, he was more unwilling to let Chen Ansheng take risks.

“Heh.” Chen Ansheng smiled bitterly and said, “Master, you may not know this, but during my return, I’ve caused quite a bit of trouble and have no choice but to seek another refuge; hence, I’m prepared to venture into the Unowned Land.”

“Oh?” Elder Ji furrowed his brow slightly, “What kind of trouble?”

Before coming, Chen Ansheng had already planned to tell Elder Ji everything, so he said, “Master, do you remember that Celestial King who injured you?”

Elder Ji pondered for a while, his eyes flashing with anger as he replied, “That guy is a newly ascended Celestial King named Dong Lie. How could I forget!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Ansheng realized he had hit the mark, “What a coincidence! My current peril is precisely because of him!”

“What!”

Elder Ji was greatly surprised, standing up directly.

“Quick, tell me, what exactly happened!”

Then, Chen Ansheng recounted everything in detail. As for Xuanyuan Lie standing beside them, he didn’t ask him to step aside. Once the Ascension Pool was set up, he would be the first to be brought to the Immortal Realm, so it was better for him to be informed about some things in advance.

After listening to Chen Ansheng’s account, Elder Ji was greatly shocked.

The Immortal Realm is so vast, yet the endless coincidences and causality all happened to his disciple.

This further confirmed Elder Ji’s earlier speculation; he believed that the bond between him and Chen Ansheng was not mere coincidence.

“It’s fortunate that you turned peril into safety in the end.” Elder Ji threw aside his distractions momentarily and sighed.

“Indeed, I was quite lucky to have encountered the Demon Cultivator Saintess, who is a maid to my other master. If it weren’t for her help, I would have long been dead.” Chen Ansheng also sighed and then inquired, “By the way, Master, I heard from a friend that the Celestial King has no capability to shatter the Immortal Realm’s space. How did you end up falling into a spatial rift?”

Elder Ji responded, “At that time, Dong Lie was chasing me. To weaken his power, I deliberately lured him into a certain forbidden zone. There, the space rifts were naturally unstable. When I was defeated, I happened to fall in; otherwise, I would have been killed by him. It was also a stroke of luck.”

“Is that so?” Chen Ansheng nodded and then said, “I already have a clue regarding the medicinal materials, and I have obtained the Devouring Worms.”

With that, Chen Ansheng took out a transparent cage from his storage pouch, which contained five Devouring Worms that Jiang Buhui had given him.

“Indeed, these are the Devouring Worms!”

Seeing the five Devouring Worms, Elder Ji couldn’t help but be excited.

Finding these things was harder than climbing to the sky!

He never expected his disciple to bring back five just like that!
