Chen Nan was not one to gloat after benefiting.
Even though the other party was the supreme Empress of the Human Race!
Possessing unparalleled beauty!
And a devilish figure!
Such a matter was not something Chen Nan desired!
He was the passive party!
Therefore!
He wanted to find an opportunity to retaliate against the Empress!
"I now have the strength of the Spirit Immortal realm. After Spirit Immortal comes True Immortal, and only after True Immortal is Immortal Emperor!"
"The Empress possesses the strength of a peak Nine-Tier Immortal Emperor!"
"Could I knock her out in one second?"
Thinking of the terrifying power of a Nine-Tier Immortal Emperor!
Chen Nan had to abandon the thought of knocking out the Empress for revenge!
It wasn't that he didn't want revenge!
But rather...
He had no absolute certainty that he could knock out the Empress!
Therefore!
Before he had absolute certainty!
He should be more rational!
Otherwise, he would only humiliate himself!
------
Chen Nan put away his scattered thoughts!
He bit his fingertip!
A drop of blood landed on the Setting Sun!
In the next second, the Setting Sun entered his body and was instantly refined!
"Although I have the Pillar of Merit, that treasure belongs to a Saint Artifact!"
"It's best to avoid using it as much as possible!"
"Otherwise, it would bring about the peril of death!"
"And this [Setting Sun] can be considered my current weapon!"
Golden Boy said, "Besides the Setting Sun, the old Prefect also left you an Immortal Armor!"
He made a gesture from afar!
A white robe floated in front of Chen Nan!
"This Immortal Armor is a very rare defensive Immortal Armor, capable of withstanding three fatal attacks from a Nine-Tier Immortal Emperor!"
Chen Nan's eyes sparkled with dazzling brilliance!
Although his physical body was terrifyingly powerful!
His current strength was not enough to contend with a Nine-Tier Immortal Emperor!
If this Immortal Armor was truly as powerful as Golden Boy claimed!
It was equivalent to three lives!
With a drop of blood, he recognized the master!
Chen Nan instantly refined the Immortal Armor!
It could transform into an ordinary long robe!
Or it could transform into the appearance of armor!
"Golden Boy, who exactly was the previous Prefect?"
"I've only opened the fifth level of the Immortal Mansion and obtained a top-grade Immortal Artifact and armor!"
"What treasures are hidden in the remaining layers?"
Chen Nan was filled with intense curiosity about the remaining four layers of the Immortal Mansion!
Golden Boy said, "The previous Prefect said that if you could reach this point, your mindset would surely become somewhat inflated, so the information for the sixth layer is hidden within the ruins!"
"You need to search through these ruins to find information about the sixth layer, thereby tempering your state of mind!"
"As for who he truly was, he will tell you once you find it!"
Chen Nan gave a wry smile, "I don't feel inflated, but since he wants me to temper my state of mind, I shall oblige!"
Chen Nan believed his state of mind was quite firm!
After all, he was the Lord of the Demon Realm!
He possessed the Pillar of Merit!
And the dragon soul of the divine beast Azure Dragon within his body!
With so many trump cards, he hadn't become arrogant, which showed how strong his state of mind was!
"Do not underestimate these ruins; they come from the Heavenly Court, fragments of the Heavenly Court!"
The voice of the Azure Dragon echoed in Chen Nan's mind!
Chen Nan solemnly acknowledged this!
Then he entered the ruins to search for clues to open the sixth layer of the Immortal Mansion!
A thousand years here equated to only one year in the outside world!
He had ample time to search for clues!
And he didn't need to worry about the Empress detecting anything unusual!
A month later!
Chen Nan found a palm-sized cyan jade tablet in the ruins!
The next moment!
A familiar figure appeared before Chen Nan!
It was the middle-aged man in green whom he had seen before obtaining the Immortal Mansion!
"Junior Chen Nan pays respects to Senior!"
Although it was only a phantom!
Chen Nan still bowed!
The middle-aged man looked at him with gratification, "I never imagined you would possess so many destinies!"
"To allow you to become the master of this Immortal Mansion is, in turn, my good fortune!"
He could see that Chen Nan possessed the Primordial Ancient Sacred Body!
And he could also discern that he had the Pillar of Merit!
"Alright, let me tell you about myself!"
"My true name is Luo Yuan!"
"I was once an Eighth-Tier Immortal Emperor who roamed the world!"
"But because I obtained this Immortal Mansion, I was retaliated against by the Human Emperor!"
"Then, I unfortunately died!"
"Only a remnant soul remained, clinging to life!"
Speaking of this matter!
His eyes revealed anger!
Chen Nan couldn't help but ask, "Senior, I have a question!"
"Since this Immortal Mansion is so powerful, why didn't you fight the Human Emperor?"
Luo Yuan sighed softly, "I painstakingly refined the Setting Sun, and before I could recover my strength, I was ambushed by the Human Emperor..."
"I only regret that my skills were inferior, and I cannot blame others!"
He paused!
He then said, "You have an enmity with the Human Emperor, don't you?"
Chen Nan organized his thoughts, "It wouldn't be accurate to say I have an enmity with the Human Emperor. More precisely, his daughter stole my wife's physical body, and I need to go to the Central Continent to retrieve it!"
Luo Yuan nodded slightly, "Your talent is indeed terrifying, and your growth speed is incredibly fast. Throughout the ages, you are a rare gem!"
"But I advise you not to go to the Central Continent lightly!"
"You might think that the strength of a Nine-Tier Immortal Emperor is formidable!"
"But the strength of the Human Emperor is beyond your imagination!"
"His true terror lies not only in his strength that surpasses ancient and modern times!"
"He is also a controller!"
"He controls all beings in heaven and earth, using them as pieces!"
"Because you have no idea if your friends, family, or loved ones were deliberately placed by his side!"
Upon hearing this!
Chen Nan's scalp tingled!
He only knew that the Human Emperor's strength surpassed all past and present, far above the Seven Human Supremes!
But he never imagined it would be so terrifying!
He dared not think further!
Luo Yuan murmured, "If I'm not mistaken, your journey to the Central Continent is also part of his plan!"
"Because there is a reason you must go there!"
"However!"
"I still cannot fathom the reason for him to set up this plan!"
"Because, in his eyes, you are not even as insignificant as an ant!"
"You are not someone who would warrant him to meticulously plan such a grand scheme!"
"However, your journey to the Immortal Realm to find your wife's body is already decided!"
"The only thing I could do was to control the Immortal Mansion to deviate from the teleportation array and send you to the Demon Realm!"
"This would allow you to improve your cultivation!"
"If you were lucky, you might also gain great fortuitous encounters!"
He looked at Chen Nan, a satisfied smile on his face, "The facts prove that you did not disappoint me!"
"You have become the Lord of the Demon Realm!"
"With just one command, all the great demons of the Demon Realm will come to your aid immediately!"
"Of course, you also obtained the Pillar of Merit in the Demon Realm!"
"But..."
"But..."
"I do not know if sending you to the Demon Realm was also part of the Human Emperor's plan!"
At this moment!
Chen Nan felt an unprecedented sense of pressure!
If all of this was within the Human Emperor's calculations!
What did that mean?
And!
Nangong Wan had warned him in his dream not to go to the Central Continent...
Did she glimpse the secret of the Human Emperor luring him to the Central Continent?
In this game of chess played by the Human Emperor, what role was he playing?
