Chapter 46 : The Ancient Desolate Demon Realm, Supreme Palace!

“Cough, cough.” The Third Elder coughed a few times and then spoke seriously, “Alright, enough with the foolishness. We’re not young anymore, acting like children. Aren’t we just making ourselves a laughingstock in front of the Holy Son?”

At this, the elders who had been frolicking around stopped their antics abruptly, their eyes wide as cow eyes, staring at the Third Elder in disbelief. They couldn’t believe this unrespectable old man was trying to shift the blame onto them.

“By the way, Holy Son, the Holy Master will be returning soon!” the Third Elder continued with a smile. “Holy Master will be overjoyed to see that you’ve reached the Great Master realm!”

“Is it that soon?” Jiang Chen feigned a slight surprise, though he had already been aware of it. His adoptive master, the Holy Master of Primordial, was expected to return to the Nine Heavens Realm in about three months!

“Has the situation in the Ancient Desolate Demon Realm been resolved?” Jiang Chen further inquired.DiiScover new stories at novelhall.com

The absence of the Holy Master from the Holy Land was due to the seal of the Ancient Desolate Demon Realm being broken a few years ago, prompting many strong figures from the Nine Heavens Realm to reseal it while exploring the Ancient Desolate Demon Realm.

The Ancient Desolate Demon Realm was the stronghold of the Outer Realm Demons a million years ago. During that distant era, the Nine Heavens Realm was not as peaceful as it was now.

At that time, the Outer Realm Demons roamed freely, dominating the entire Nine Heavens Realm and reducing all races as their livestock.

It was a living hell, with countless lives being erased and devoured daily, leaving all beings in a constant state of fear and dread, worried they might be the next to be consumed by the demons.

This terror lasted until a great emperor emerged a million years ago, leading all races to sweep through the Outer Realm Demons and eventually seal them within the Ancient Desolate Demon Realm.

In the original story, Jiang Chen underperformed in the Supreme Palace, leading to him being overshadowed by prodigies of other races, while Du Gouyun excelled, defeating many of them. This incident significantly tarnished Jiang Chen’s reputation and paved the way for Du Gouyun to replace him later.

Dugu Yun had also benefited greatly from the Palace of Sovereign, laying down a solid foundation for his rapid rise in the future.

Of course, he was going to screw it up. However, Jiang Chen needed to find a reasonable excuse. This plot couldn’t be missed, and the rewards were bound to be extraordinary.

“Good to hear! Good to hear!” said the Third Elder, smiling lightly and patting Jiang Chen on the shoulder. After that, he left with the other elders.

“The Supreme Palace, huh? How should I arrange it this time?” Jiang Chen pondered, lying on a chair, thinking about his next moves.

He had to do it because he didn’t want to disappoint the elders, who had high expectations for the Supreme Palace. And the thought of watching Du Gouyun show off was irksome to him. Even though he planned to slack off, he couldn’t give Du Gouyun a chance to outshine him.

“For now, I’ll just wait and see. If it doesn’t work out, I might not slack off after all,” Jiang Chen decided. He was the king of slacking off, but he couldn’t just slack off for the sake of it. Sometimes, taking action was necessary, even if it meant missing out on some rewards.

“Let’s see if I can train Yan Ruyu,” he thought. “If she can handle the prodigies, I can slack off indirectly.”

“The Holy Master is returning soon,” Jiang Chen thought with anticipation. He had high expectations for the Holy Master from the original story, who was very kind to Jiang Chen.

If it weren’t for the Holy Master’s early demise, Jiang Chen’s position as the Holy Son wouldn’t have been usurped by Du Gouyun. The Holy Master was fiercely protective; if anyone dared to cross her, even the mightiest would face her wrath. If the Holy Master hadn’t fallen so early, Du Gouyun’s schemes would have never succeeded.

“Holy Master, with me here this time, no one will be able to harm you,” Jiang Chen murmured, standing up and looking towards the horizon, his voice filled with determination.
