"Ah! What a headache!"

He sighed inwardly.

"Kid, do you know that trespassing into the Library Pavilion is a capital crime? You’ve entered all of the Great Yu Hundred Mansions without permission, that’s enough for you to die a hundred times over; I could kill you outright now!"

However, facing Zhan Tian’s threat, Chen Xuan merely smiled faintly and said, "Elder Zhan, you’re joking."

If it were before, he wouldn’t have been so ’impudent’ not knowing about this matter!

After all, even though the two treated him well, entering the Library Pavilion without permission, and all the Great Yu Hundred Mansions, was a crime among crimes.

Zhan Tian was indeed right, dying a hundred times wouldn’t be enough.

But now... his strength was enough to erase all these crimes.

This was why he had just unleashed all his power before Zhan Tian, to show him that he was useful, very useful.

At least this time... Great Yu needed him!

It was that simple!

Moreover, he could see that Zhan Tian had no suitable candidates, so even though Xiaoqi was only at the first level of the Dao Realm, he had to take a gamble.

"Hmm!"

Zhan Tian snorted coldly, his aura instantly retracted.

Then he looked at Liu Sheng, "Is this the person you chose, so full of treachery!"

"Ugh—"

Liu Sheng was helpless, having become a scapegoat for no reason.

"Are you going to enter the Lower Realm or seize the Lower Realm?"

Zhan Tian asked Chen Xuan in a deep voice.

At the same time, Liu Sheng’s expression also became serious.

After all, Emperor Yu had once issued a decree; if he were to seize the Lower Realm, then Liu Sheng couldn’t agree to let Chen Xuan enter the tenth level of the Library Pavilion.

"Isn’t Zhan Tian underestimating the kid, seizing the Lower Realm? With the kid’s talent and strength, there’s no need to do such things, right?"

Chen Xuan smiled and retorted.

"Answer me!"

Zhan Tian’s voice rose considerably, and the atmosphere in the hall grew much heavier.

He wanted to hear the answer from Chen Xuan’s own mouth.

No teasing or joking.

"Alright then!"

"Enter the Lower Realm!"

Chen Xuan hadn’t expected this reaction, so he also reined in his smile and answered seriously.

"He’s not lying to you, you can agree to it!"

A moment later, Liu Sheng finally spoke.

"It’d better be so; if you dare to have second thoughts, Liu Sheng can’t protect you either!"

Zhan Tian still stared intently at Chen Xuan. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Facing his threat, Chen Xuan was helpless as well, spreading his hands, "Relax, Elder Zhan, I just promised someone to go take a look, I won’t do anything else!"

"He’s doing this for your own good!"

Liu Sheng’s words were surprising, leaving Chen Xuan puzzled.

"Although the Lower Realm is weak, if forcibly seized, it will bring about Celestial Punishment, and under that punishment, no matter what strength you have, you won’t survive."

Celestial Punishment?

It was the first time Chen Xuan had heard those two words.

"Back then, someone tried doing it forcefully; in the end, they were blasted into smithereens by Celestial Punishment, not even a hair was left."

Speaking of it, a trace of terror flashed in Zhan Tian’s eyes.

Great Yu believed that Emperor Yu was worried that the Lower Realm being destroyed would impact the Supreme Domain, as the Lower Realm was the foundation.

This was indeed one reason.

The other reason was the Celestial Punishment.

Those who knew of this in Great Yu could be counted on one’s fingers.

"No way!"

"When I was in Moran City, didn’t I encounter a World Spirit? Wasn’t that the work of King Gu Li?"

Chen Xuan suddenly remembered.

He almost escaped back then; it was Marquis Ning who left behind a box to absorb him.

"You know about this?"

Liu Sheng was greatly surprised.

"I found out by accident!"

Chen Xuan explained casually.

"As for Gu Li... what can I say, it was completely an accident, that World Spirit escaped into the Supreme Domain on its own, leading to those following events."

"I see!"

Chen Xuan suddenly understood; fortunately, he had no such thoughts back then, thinking it would be too cruel.

Otherwise, if he had any such notions, well... tsk, tsk, it’s good to keep a bit of kindness in one’s heart to live long.

He couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

"When are you planning to enter?"

"Anytime, the sooner the better!"

At this moment, excitement began to stir in Chen Xuan’s heart; finally, he would be able to locate the coordinates of the Human Realm...

By then, even if he can’t save the World Spirits, setting up an Array in the Primordial Realm could bring them over.

The family could be reunited!

"Something’s not right with this kid!"

Zhan Tian’s voice sounded in Liu Sheng’s ears.

Although Chen Xuan didn’t show anything on the surface, with their level of strength, while they couldn’t feel it specifically, they could sense the intense fluctuation in Chen Xuan’s emotions.

It was intense.

"No problem!"

"This kid wouldn’t joke with his life, and besides, with his strength and talent, there’s no need to do so."

"Hmm!"

Zhan Tian snorted coldly, "You just favor the kid too much, he’s too unpredictable, watch yourself."

"I know."

With their conversation ended, Liu Sheng turned to Chen Xuan, "Since that’s the case, you should stay in the Imperial City; in a few days, once everyone gathers, Your Majesty will have arrangements for you."

Upon hearing he had to stay, Chen Xuan hesitated.

"What? More problems?"

Liu Sheng’s face turned displeased; I’ve agreed to your terms, what more do you want?

"There are some, but not major ones. My wives are still in Moran City; if I stay in the Imperial City alone, it’s not quite right!"

"Besides... with the kid’s current strength, staying in the Imperial City seems pointless, right?"

Seeing this, Liu Sheng’s expression softened.

Indeed, his strength was nearly at its limit now, the only area for growth was in his physical body.

"Great Yu still has some Body Tempering methods and rare elixirs that could further enhance your physical body."
