The third level of the Immortal Mansion!
At the entrance!
After listening to the Golden Boy's explanation, Chen Nan said, "So, to open the third level space, one needs to possess Nascent Soul stage strength?"
He was currently only at the first level of the Golden Core stage, a distance of a hundred thousand miles from the Nascent Soul stage!
Golden Boy: "Theoretically, yes!"
Chen Nan raised an eyebrow: "And in practice?"
Golden Boy: "As long as you possess strength comparable to the Nascent Soul stage!"
Chen Nan was enlightened!
Then, he gathered his qi to his dantian, channeling the power of his golden core to his arms, and then exerted force against the stone door!
Rumble!
As Chen Nan exerted his strength, the entire Immortal Mansion seemed to undergo a massive earthquake!
Concurrently!
Vicious veins bulged on Chen Nan's forehead and arms!
They looked like coiled ancient dragons!
His face turned red, showing great effort!
As time passed, the stone door slowly revealed a crack!
"Open for me!"
With Chen Nan's furious roar, the stone door to the third level of the Immortal Mansion was pushed open by his sheer brute force!
The Golden Boy and Jade Girl beside him showed shock!
Although Chen Nan had also used brute force to push open the second door!
But back then, he already possessed the cultivation of late Foundation Establishment!
And now!
He had pushed open the stone door at the first level of the Golden Core stage!
This physical body is truly invincible!
After the stone door was pushed open, a surge of spiritual energy rushed towards them!
The density of spiritual energy here was several times that of the second level!
The passage of time here was also much faster than in the outside world!
One year here was one day outside!
"What treasures are here?"
Chen Nan's heart was filled with excitement!
Golden Boy said, "The third level contains seventy-two mid-grade spirit artifacts and twelve magic treasures!"
"There are also some body-refining techniques, and various pill recipes!"
"And the method to break the beast rings!"
"And the most important point!"
"The Sword Immortal Puppet!"
Chen Nan looked at the tall, exquisitely beautiful female puppet in the corner!
A standard oval face, large eyes, a high-bridged nose, and a cherry-sized mouth!
She was dressed in a green long skirt!
She was more beautiful than any woman Chen Nan had seen in this world!
Including that rabbit demon and the fox demon!
But she was a puppet after all!
Golden Boy said, "This puppet can exert the strength of an Out-of-Body stage cultivator, but it requires high-grade spirit stones to activate!"
Chen Nan asked, "What if there are no high-grade spirit stones?"
Golden Boy: "Ten thousand low-grade spirit stones can be equivalent to one high-grade spirit stone!"
Chen Nan almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He currently had fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones, meaning even if he spent all his possessions, he could only make this puppet exert the strength of the fifth layer of the Out-of-Body stage!
"This Out-of-Body stage Sword Immortal Puppet should not be used lightly..."
Afterward, Chen Nan found the inheritance knowledge related to the beast rings and absorbed it!
The Myriad Monster Cave contained many controlled demonic beasts!
If he could rescue the demonic beasts in the Myriad Monster Cave, it would be a significant help to him!
The next evening!
Shen Lang found him, his face filled with admiration: "Sir is truly a divine being. Xunyang has agreed that if my elder brother and I have a conflict, he will lead his Azure Dragon Guard to defect to me!"
"Oh, and Sir, elder brother and third brother have invited me to hunt at the hunting grounds outside the city in ten days!"
Chen Nan frowned and couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, do you mean the First Prince and the Third Prince intend to make a move against you?"
Shen Lang's expression was slightly solemn: "Although my relationship with my elder brother and third brother appears good, we have no private interactions. Their invitation to hunt at the hunting grounds this time is very unusual!"
Everyone could see that King Wu's influence in the court had reached an unparalleled level, and even the current emperor had to act with consideration for him!
To put it bluntly, King Wu could replace the emperor at any time and become the new emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty!
When a new emperor ascends the throne, a crown prince must be appointed!
Rather than waiting for King Wu to appoint Shen Lang as crown prince, it would be better to directly eliminate Shen Lang!
At that time, the position of crown prince would inevitably fall to Shen Cong and Shen Fei!
"Since the First Prince and the Third Prince are drawing their swords against Your Highness, we naturally don't need to fear them. I will accompany Your Highness to the hunting grounds then!"
Chen Nan said casually!
He knew!
All of this was definitely orchestrated by Shen Cong, that cheap son, to cooperate with him!
He liked such filial sons!
"Sir, I have nothing to do this evening, why don't we go to the Myriad Monster Cave for some fun?" Shen Lang revealed a smile that held a hidden meaning!
Chen Nan: "Your Highness also wants to play with demons?"
Shen Lang cleared his throat and said, "This Prince naturally does not want to play with demons, but in the eyes of the world, I am an uneducated prodigal son who spends his days in revelry!"
"Before, Sir went to the Myriad Monster Cave with elder brother. If I am not brought along to broaden my horizons, people might suspect my current persona!"
Chen Nan was speechless!
To put it plainly!
He and Shen Lang were of the same kind!
They would do anything to achieve their goals, and both were disguising themselves!
"In that case, I will take Your Highness to play then!" Chen Nan did not refuse, because he had already obtained the method to break the beast rings, and this time he intended to find out who the owner of the Myriad Monster Cave was!
At nine o'clock in the evening!
Chen Nan and Shen Lang arrived at the Myriad Monster Cave!
Chen Nan directly summoned the rabbit demon and the fox demon who had served him the day before yesterday!
Shen Lang repeatedly claimed to be here to maintain his previous playboy persona, but when he saw the demons here, his eyes almost popped out!
Perhaps, he had grown tired of humans!
And wanted to try demons!
The rabbit demon was named Xin Ran, and the fox demon was named Jing Xiang!
This time, Chen Nan did not use a clone, but his main body personally took action!
However, he did not "play" with the demons!
Instead, he cast a spell on them!
This way, he could control the beast rings within their bodies!
The moment Chen Nan cast the spell, Xin Ran and Jing Xiang's eyes immediately revealed unconcealable fear!
They had an illusion, as if the man before them could control their lives!
"You need not be nervous!"
Chen Nan's voice echoed in the depths of their minds, "Tell me, who is the leader of the Myriad Monster Cave?"
"Replying to Young Master, the leader of the Myriad Monster Cave is my Lady!" Jing Xiang said, suppressing her inner fear, "She is a three-tailed white fox at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage!"
Chen Nan frowned!
Three-tailed foxes were already rare, considered rare beasts!
He did not expect that the leader of the Myriad Monster Cave was actually a rare beast at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage!
"Go, summon your Lady to see me!" Chen Nan commanded!
Rare beasts were naturally arrogant, let alone rare beasts at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage!
He was certain that the three-tailed white fox had not willingly fallen into this situation!
A moment later, a woman who looked to be in her early twenties, dressed in a white long skirt, with a seductive demeanor, holding a fan, walked in with a smile.
Her name was Wu Mei, the leader of the Myriad Monster Cave, "I heard Young Master Chen is not satisfied with the service of my girls? Do you need this humble one to serve you?"
The moment he saw her, Chen Nan felt dizzy, as if he were losing his senses!
The next moment!
Wu Mei's divine soul entered his sea of consciousness!
And began to scan his memories!
Chen Nan was furious, "You lowly creature, I intended to save you from suffering, yet you wish to pry into my memories. Do you truly believe I dare not kill you?"
