Chapter 103: The Origin of the Old Man

“Ah, you!”

Zhu Ji froze at the sight of Chen Ansheng.

What the hell! I just vented a bit, I didn’t actually want you to come here!

“Mu Wan, why did you bring him here? What are your intentions?”

Zhu Ji knew that the holy land was protected by the formidable mountain-protecting formation of the Immortal Nine, and if it wasn’t Mu Wan who brought him in, who else could it be?

Moreover, ever since that day when he was humiliated by Mu Wan, he had harbored a lot of resentment toward her. He had contemplated secretly ambushing her to kill her several times, but ultimately gave up due to his severely damaged mind and insufficient celestial power.

“I have no intentions. Didn’t you want revenge? I’ve brought the person to you,” Mu Wan replied coldly.

“Revenge? This Holy Son has never thought of revenge! Someone, hurry, save me!”

Zhu Ji’s fear of Chen Ansheng stemmed from his soul; he instinctively began to call for help.

“This young man, let’s talk nicely.”

The nude fox demoness walked sultrily towards Chen Ansheng, wanting to press against him.

“Hmm?”

A cold smirk appeared at the corner of Chen Ansheng’s mouth. A small fox demon actually dared to use charm magic to confuse him.

“Xue’er, quick! Take him down!”

Zhu Ji thought the charm magic had taken effect and hurriedly commanded.

“Yes, Master!”

The fox demoness’s pale hand transformed into sharp claws, reaching for Chen Ansheng’s throat.

Chen Ansheng flicked his finger, and a strand of celestial power shot out.

Bang!

The fox demoness turned into blood mist, which was subsequently ground into nothingness by his celestial power.

Zhu Ji was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground.

“Junior Sister, we are fellow disciples; you can’t do this! You can’t just watch me die!” Zhu Ji’s face went pale, seeing Mu Wan as his last hope.

“Scram! Who is your junior sister? Offending this young man, you deserve to die.” Mu Wan said coldly.

“Youth, what youth?” Zhu Ji was bewildered.

“Can’t you understand human language? I am now this young man’s servant,” Mu Wan said, glancing at Zhu Ji as Chen Ansheng’s large hand roughly pressed down on her mountain-like stature…

Seeing this scene, Zhu Ji felt like his eyes were about to pop out.

That was his long-desired, dreamt-of junior sister, and she had become that brat’s servant, letting him manipulate her.

Zhu Ji was on the verge of breaking down, his mind almost shattered.

“Forget it, I still have use for you; I can’t let you die of anger.”

As he spoke, Chen Ansheng’s mental energy surged into Zhu Ji’s mind.

“Ah, ah, ah!”

Zhu Ji screamed in agony, rolling on the ground.

After more than ten breaths, he stopped moving.

“Young man, has he become your puppet?”

Last time, Mu Wan had heard Chen Ansheng say that he would turn her into a puppet, but unexpectedly, due to that fight… she ended up as a maid instead; how lucky she was.

“Yes.” Chen Ansheng nodded.

“Doesn’t that mean he will unconditionally execute any orders given to him?”

“Of course.” As Chen Ansheng spoke, he made Zhu Ji slap himself several times.

“Young man, if I had become a puppet back then, would you…” Mu Wan said shyly.

“Pfft, what’s the point of a dead fish? What I truly appreciate is your wonderful skills.” Chen Ansheng replied.

“Really? If that’s the case, I must ask the young man for a few pointers.”

“Bring it on!”

…

In the Long Family Estate.

Chen Ansheng temporarily parted with Mu Wan and took the puppet Zhu Ji to the forbidden area of the Long Family.

On the way, they encountered several disciples of the Long Family, but they did not dare to interfere with Chen Ansheng’s actions.

Then, Chen Ansheng mentally controlled Zhu Ji as they entered the space passage.

In a flash of light and shadow, Zhu Ji landed beside the Emerald Pool.

“I am unaware which elder wished to speak with me; please come forward.”

Chen Ansheng spoke directly.

“A puppet? This kid… who knows how many atrocious deeds he has committed to be so frightened.”

In the forbidden zone, a thin old man shook his head to himself, then a wisp of ghostly mist descended onto a barren tree near the Emerald Pool.

The barren tree transformed into human form, landing before the puppet.

“Good skills, Senior. You can control even the barren tree!”

Upon witnessing the mist’s descent, Chen Ansheng was awestruck; it emitted an aura he could not perceive at all. No wonder it had managed to appear silently behind him last time.

“Just a small trick.” The barren tree spoke, then said, “Young friend, are you satisfied with the effects of this spiritual pool?”

“Of course, I am satisfied.” Chen Ansheng nodded, then asked, “Could it be that this spiritual pool was set up by you, Senior?”

“Hehe.” The barren tree gave a dry laugh and said, “Indeed, it was created by me.”

Chen Ansheng couldn’t help but marvel. This old guy could create such a wondrous spiritual pool. Could it be that he was an Immortal Emperor? Was he forced to stay in this lower realm for some unavoidable reason?

Therefore, Chen Ansheng asked, “Senior, you are remarkable. May I ask about your background?”

The barren tree pondered for a moment and said, “No need for you to ask. I will tell you. How about we meet openly and share a drink?”

“No, no.” Chen Ansheng quickly shook his head and said, “Just chatting like this is quite fine. By the way, Senior, why didn’t you appear the last two times I came to the Emerald Pool? What do you want from me this time?”

Chen Ansheng tried to be as polite as possible since if he couldn’t use the Emerald Pool anymore in the future, the loss would be too great.

“You brat… heh.” The barren tree sighed with a smile, lamenting how overly cautious this young man was. “Forget it, I won’t hide it from you; I was originally a cultivator from the Law Immortal Realm, but during my tribulation, I encountered a rules storm, causing a time-space disruption, and I fell into the Martial Immortal Realm.”

???

Chen Ansheng was bewildered.

What Law Immortal Realm? What Martial Immortal Realm? He had never heard of them.

Young Master, there is more after this chapter, please click next page to continue reading, it gets even more exciting!

After a moment of silence, a biography suddenly flashed through Chen Ansheng’s mind—”A Chaotic Ascension.”

That biography recorded a special cultivation realm where the cultivators did not use swords but wielded something called a staff as their weapon.

When he read it back then, Chen Ansheng was very curious, but due to the chaotic logic of the biography, he didn’t extract any useful information.

Now that the barren tree had mentioned falling into the Martial Immortal Realm, it made Chen Ansheng connect the old man to that biography.

“Senior means to say that in the vast universe, there exist two Immortal Realms: the Law Immortal Realm and the Martial Immortal Realm?” Chen Ansheng asked, bowing slightly.

“Precisely.” The barren tree nodded, saying, “I was supposed to ascend to the Law Immortal Realm.”

“Two Immortal Realms…” Chen Ansheng muttered, then said, “Senior, as far as I know, there may not only be two Immortal Realms in the cosmos, but there is also an Alien Immortal Realm!”

The Alien Immortal Realm is the realm where the black giant bird resides.

Upon hearing Chen Ansheng’s words, the old tree was stunned for a moment, clearly surprised.

“Good lad, you are indeed not a cultivator from this low-level realm; you must be from the Martial Immortal Realm!”

Ever since the barren tree witnessed Chen Ansheng’s extravagant actions, he had his suspicions that Chen Ansheng was from the Martial Immortal Realm.

After all, so much purple crystal could not possibly exist in this cultivation realm.

When Chen Ansheng mentioned the Alien Immortal Realm, the old man understood clearly; that was a term known only to cultivators from the Martial Immortal Realm, thus he confirmed Chen Ansheng’s origins.

This was also the fundamental reason he stepped forward to converse with Chen Ansheng.
