At this moment, his hands were behind his back, his expression composed, without a trace of worry.

"Prince Xuan, you’ve been waiting for a long time."

Just then, a crisp voice rang in his sea of consciousness, though it gave off a very fragile feeling.

The next moment, a ball of white light appeared, slowly congealing into a phantom.

"Are you the Saintess of the Demon Realm?"

Chen Xuan slowly spoke, the phantom before him was blurry, making it hard to see her appearance clearly.

"Yes!"

The Saintess nodded slightly.

"What is the purpose of sending your avatar into my Prince’s Mansion?"

Chen Xuan carefully sensed her, trying to find a connection between her and the avatar.

To see if he could find her location.

But to his disappointment, he couldn’t find anything.

"I am in the Demon Realm, you can’t reach here."

The Saintess smiled faintly, this little trick of his could not escape her notice.

Even though she exposed him publicly, Chen Xuan didn’t feel the least bit embarrassed, instead, he was very confident, "Not possible now doesn’t mean not possible in the future, the strongest in the Demon Realm is only around Dao Realm sixth or seventh level."

"With my talent, it won’t take more than three to four years."

"I suppose you won’t argue with that?"

Indeed, if one doesn’t consider hidden dangers, in three to four years, Chen Xuan reaching Dao Realm sixth level through cultivation is no problem at all.

By then, with his robust physique, breaking through the Demon Realm wouldn’t be impossible.

"I won’t deny that, but the Demon Realm isn’t as weak as you think it is. You can try it when the time comes if you don’t believe me."

As the Saintess of the Demon Realm, she was fairly confident.

At least in her understanding, without reaching Dao Realm eighth level, entering the Demon Realm meant certain death.

"You didn’t want to see me just to show off your Demon Realm’s strength, did you?"

Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, clearly displeased.

Could the mere Demon Realm be this strong?

It’s only that the Human Race is suppressed in it, lacking Spiritual Qi, that’s all.

But for him, this wasn’t much of a problem.

Moreover, possessing Divine Techniques like Godspeed and folded space, even if he wasn’t a match, he could come and go in the Demon Realm as he pleased!

"Hehe! That’s indeed not it!"

The Saintess chuckled softly, then slowly asked, "You have some connection to the Spirit Realm, don’t you?"

"I can sense the Spirit Realm aura on you."

"Just like Marquis Ning back in the day."

"No, it’s even stronger than Marquis Ning’s back then."

The Saintess gazed at him, as if trying to see through him.

"What do you mean to say?"

Chen Xuan’s eyes narrowed, his expression turning serious.

He really disliked this feeling, being seen through, it made him feel unsafe.

"You don’t need to be nervous, I just want to return to the Spirit Realm."

"What does that have to do with me?"

Chen Xuan said coldly.

"I hope to get the help of the Spiritual Beast behind you. As long as you agree, any condition can be proposed!"

She along with those demon clans of the Demon Realm were abandoned.

Moreover, here not only were their bloodlines suppressed, their lifespans were less than a tenth of what they once were.

They wanted to break free from this and could only return to the Spirit Realm.

All these years she had been trying to reverse-heredity to open the path to the Spirit Realm, but... not only had she failed to succeed, now she didn’t even know how long it would take to recover.

But... her lifespan was running out.

The clan leaders of the major demon clans in the Demon Realm were in the same position.

So, they willingly supported her as the Saintess of the Demon Realm because she had a good chance at reverse-heredity.

But now she discovered... it was much too difficult.

"What does your Demon Realm have that could captivate me?"

Chen Xuan asked.

The Demon Realm is quite mysterious, not just unknown to the Human Race, but even Xian Si and her peers lacked understanding of it.

According to what she said, only the truly top-notch figures in the Demon Realm were aware.

"What do you want? The Demon Realm is all-encompassing, from Talent Spiritual Liquid to Divine Fruits that enhance cultivation, to even Immortal Grass aged hundreds of thousands of years, there’s plenty. As long as you’re willing, all of it can be yours."

Everything she mentioned was watched closely by Chen Xuan.

Yet to her disappointment, despite all this, Chen Xuan’s expression didn’t change in the slightest.

"Could it be he’s not interested in any of this?"

She was quite puzzled in her heart.

Things like these would tempt any Human Race person, otherwise, why would Great Yu marshal so many experts to attack the Demon Realm at first, if not for these top-tier resources?

"Do you have Heaven-Reaching Bamboo?"

Things like Spiritual Liquid and Divine Fruits are just icing on the cake for him. Without them, he could still quickly stand at the peak of the Eastern Continent.

All he wanted was Heaven-Reaching Bamboo!

"What? Heaven-Reaching Bamboo?"

The Saintess immediately let out an exclamation.

"You know of it?"

Chen Xuan immediately asked.

"Yes!"

The Saintess slowly nodded, "Heaven-Reaching Bamboo is said to have a big connection with the Supreme Domain, and there’s even a legend that the Supreme Domain was conceived in the Heaven-Reaching Bamboo. But that’s just a legend, I don’t know the actual situation."

"As for Heaven-Reaching Bamboo, it has long become a legend. At least in a million years on the Eastern Continent, it certainly hasn’t appeared."

She never expected that Chen Xuan would want this item.

Not that she didn’t have it, but even if she did, she wouldn’t give it to him, because with Heaven-Reaching Bamboo, the Demon Realm would become the Spirit Realm, and all problems would be solved.

Not in a million years!

Chen Xuan was suddenly stunned on the spot.

If this was truly the case, then even if he stood at the peak of the Eastern Continent, there would still be no hope.

"Can I ask why you’re looking for Heaven-Reaching Bamboo?"

The Saintess asked.

There was definitely no Heaven-Reaching Bamboo, but from his expression, it was clear this was very important to him.

The Demon Realm being all-encompassing wasn’t just talk. If something equivalent could be found, maybe it would make him change his mind and agree.

"To repair the World Spirit!"

Chen Xuan slowly replied.

"Just repairing the World Spirit, is it damaged or nearing its end?"
