Investment Return System, Start by taking Demon Empress as a Disciple - Chapter 153: Back to the Mountain

Upon hearing Chen Daoxuan’s words, the incarnated Heavenly Dao of the Profound Sky Realm (World) fell into silence for a while. It hadn’t expected that it, as the Heavenly Dao’s will, would be looked down upon in such a way. However, in the end, it still voiced its answer, “I cannot stop you.”

The incarnated Heavenly Dao had to admit that this individual’s strength was quite astonishing. If he really insisted on killing the Demon Emperor, even it couldn’t prevent it.

“Then you’re not that great…”

Chen Daoxuan’s mouth twitched upon hearing this. Originally, he had thought that the Heavenly Dao’s will in this realm should be formidable. After all, within the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, he was an existence akin to the Heavenly Dao itself. Could it be that even the Heavenly Dao had varying degrees of status?

Given his invincible power within the pavilion, if he were to make a move against his original self’s current strength, he could obliterate him with a single finger. However, when facing the Heavenly Dao’s will in this realm, he felt that it might not even be as strong as his original self’s power.

“…” the Heavenly Dao’s will remained silent.

“Alright, let’s not chat any longer. Come visit Illusory Void Mountain when you have time.” Chen Daoxuan intended to turn and leave.

“Although I can’t defeat you, if you really make a move for the throne, I will forcefully extradite you to the Upper Realm. You should have ascended long ago with your strength, but I don’t know what methods you’ve used to avoid being extradited to the Upper Realm until now.”

Seeing Chen Daoxuan about to leave, the Heavenly Dao’s will quickly spoke up to halt him, stating the only means it possessed to threaten Chen Daoxuan. As expected, Chen Daoxuan halted his steps, turning to frown at the Heavenly Dao’s will.

Both parties were somewhat anxious at the moment.

Chen Daoxuan: What if I punch him right now? Will this realm collapse? Will I be forcibly extradited to the Upper Realm?

Heavenly Dao’s Will: What if he loses his temper and punches me into oblivion…

Neither of them wanted their imagined scenarios to unfold. The Heavenly Dao’s Will was afraid of death, while Chen Daoxuan simply wasn’t ready to ascend to the Upper Realm at the moment.

Leaving aside his current strength’s level in the Upper Realm, at the very least, he couldn’t leave his disciples, Leng Yanran and Li Yourong, in this realm without worry.

“Let’s compromise. I won’t kill the Demon Emperor, and I won’t meddle in the struggle for the throne. My disciple will handle her own karma in the future. But this Pavilion Master said that he must kneel. Surely, that can’t be disregarded?”

Chen Daoxuan finally sighed deeply and spoke. Hearing this, the incarnated Heavenly Dao finally let go of the heavy stone in its heart. Although it was confident it could forcibly extradite Chen Daoxuan to the Upper Realm, if Chen Daoxuan made a move against it, the result would be its dissipation.

The matter of the imperial throne was of immense significance, involving the contestation of the realm’s qi fortune. It naturally adhered to the operating laws of Heavenly Dao, and how could it be meddled with by a few outsiders?

As the Heavenly Dao’s will, it was unable to turn a blind eye, even if Chen Daoxuan were to exterminate the Jiang Clan. It could allow that to happen, but the throne was a bottom line.

“Simple, just break his legs, and he’ll kneel. Leng Yanran is a native of this realm, so her participation in the struggle for the throne poses no issue. Furthermore, the matter of confining and nurturing the Heavenly Tribulation Embodiment…”

The Heavenly Dao’s incarnation casually proposed a plan, even touching upon one of the Heavenly Dao’s rules, referring to the cultivation of the Heavenly Tribulation who had taken on a human form.

“Think it over before you speak,” Chen Daoxuan raised an eyebrow.

“…That matter will be considered settled, but you must refrain from interfering with Heavenly Dao’s rules any further, or I will have to forcibly extradite you according to the rules,” the Heavenly Dao’s incarnation fell silent for a moment and ultimately chose to give in.

It had never expected that as the Heavenly Dao’s will in this realm, it would one day feel so humiliated. However, this Chen Daoxuan was too terrifying; it had no way to deal with him. It was even more challenging to handle than those malignant tumors from the Upper Realm implanted in the Profound Sky Realm (World)!

“I’m leaving.”

Satisfied, Chen Daoxuan turned and departed, no longer engaging in extended communication with the Heavenly Dao’s incarnation.

“…”

Watching Chen Daoxuan’s retreating figure, the Heavenly Dao’s incarnation remained in a daze for a long time before gradually dissipating into the clouds.

…

Chen Daoxuan returned to his own Dao Seat, looking down to find that Leng Yanran and Li Yourong had already neatly organized the precious materials from the Jiang Clan.

“Master, everything is in order!” Leng Yanran flew back to her Master’s Dao Seat, bowing respectfully to report.

“Hehe, this Jiang Clan is much wealthier than the Rens last time. This time, our Heavenly Dao Pavilion has made a huge profit. Master, when we return, can we buy some large white geese for Yourong to raise on the mountain?”

Li Yourong also descended from the sky, blinking her eyes at her Master and making a plea.

“Very well, since that’s the case, let’s return to the mountain together,” Chen Daoxuan nodded in satisfaction.

Glancing casually, he noticed that the Demon Emperor Zhao Baizhou had already fainted due to the terrifying aura of the dragon, yet he still maintained an upright posture. In the end, Chen Daoxuan decided to leave him with some dignity. Since he was unwilling to kneel, Chen Daoxuan had no intention of breaking the man’s legs.

It would be meaningless. In the future, Leng Yanran would personally handle the matters of the Western Domain.

With a light wave of his hand, space was torn open, and the figures of everyone gradually disappeared from the sky above the Western Domain. Only after they had departed did the horrifying dragon aura slowly disperse.

“Too… too terrifying!”

“By the way, Your Majesty, look at Your Majesty! It seems someone saved Your Majesty just now. Could it be the ancestor within our ancestral land?”

“It must be so. Only the legendary ancestor of our ancestral land could balance out such a formidable presence. Our Western Domain is probably going to be in turmoil…”

“I didn’t expect that the royal heir of the former dynasty would actually become a disciple under a living immortal. Amongst the world, her master is invincible, and she will inevitably come back to vie for the throne!”

The multitude of experts in the Western Domain gradually came to their senses, each one drenched in cold sweat. However, Zhao Yizhen was the first to rush to Zhao Baizhou, who was still maintaining his upright stance despite being suspended in mid-air.

“Your Majesty, are you alright?”

Zhao Yizhen approached the Demon Emperor’s side, calling out several times but receiving no response. Carefully, he placed his hand on his arm, feeling the injuries within his body.

“Hisss… Why is he so severely injured!?”

With a look of shock, Zhao Yizhen discovered that nearly every bone in the Demon Emperor’s body was filled with cracks, even his Qi Sea was faintly unstable.

“Uncle will take you back to the palace. Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, everything will be alright…”

Disregarding royal decorum, Zhao Yizhen directly lifted Zhao Baizhou and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the palace, summoning alchemists to heal the Emperor. And thus, a piece of news rapidly spread across the Western Domain.

[A living immortal exists atop the Illusory Void Mountain in the Northern Domain. Her disciple is none other than Leng Yanran, the Empress of the Northern Domain, and also a remnant of the former dynasty’s Demon Clan!]

[Demon Emperor Zhao Baizhou, faced Living Immortal without Kneeling and Suffered Severe Injuries!]

This piece of news wouldn’t take long to spread throughout the entire Profound Sky Realm (World), whether it be the Four Domains or the Central Region! However, Chen Daoxuan paid no attention to these matters. He had already returned to the Illusory Void Mountain with his disciplines.
