Chen Xia wanted all the Great Saint Opportunities.
When he got this news, Water and Fire Immortal was extremely nervous, and his cultivation was unsteady. He kept feeling like someone was spying on him.
Frightened, his Dao heart was slightly shaken, and he hurried to find Little Heavenly Emperor to discuss.
Little Heavenly Emperor was in secluded meditation among the concealed stars, on one hand to avoid Chen Xia and prevent complications, on the other hand to try to connect with the Celestial Realm. That way, he could let the Immortal Realm sages know about the situation in the Great Death Realm ahead of time.
He had sworn an oath with Water and Fire Immortal, so of course he could find each other.
Water and Fire Immortal came in a hurry. The first sentence he said was, “Chen Xia covets my Great Saint Opportunity!”
“I know,” Little Heavenly Emperor nodded, then waved his hand downwards with a laugh, “Don’t worry, I already have plans. Just accompany me in seclusion, then it will be good once the Celestial Realm sages descend.”
“How much longer?” Water and Fire Immortal was still anxious.
A fleeting trace of contempt flashed through Little Heavenly Emperor's eyes. Then he smiled again and said, “Not much longer, just wait patiently.”
“Alright......alright.” Water and Fire Immortal was still a bit worried.
On the surface Little Heavenly Emperor looked calm, but actually he was extremely disdainful. He felt that Water and Fire Immortal did not have the bearing of an arrogant genius of heaven, he just happened to obtain the Great Saint Opportunity by a fluke. A piece of trash like this actually dared to think about entering the ranks of the sages?
Hmph, it would be decent to just become another corpse under the Hall of Group Sages.
He let out a breath to steady himself, then sat down calmly.
There was no need to hurry now. Let Chen Xia swagger arrogantly for now. When the sages descend, it will be time for them, the top geniuses of the great realms, to make their move. For now, there was no need for too many words or actions. Just wait patiently.
Between the stars of the Dead Sea.
Chen Xia has now already become halfway invincible. Relying on continual enlightenment, he took the first step to cross into the saint realm before all the other geniuses of heaven. This one step surpassed all the geniuses of heaven, opening up a huge gap.
What he was worried about now was the descent of saints after the Great Death Realm.
According to the original agreement, Wang Yangzi should descend into the Great Death Realm and bring them back to the realm.
But looking now, Chen Xia felt that news from the realm was exceptionally closed off. The other realms all knew about the opening of the ruins of the Great Emperor, that real saints would descend, even Great Saints and quasi-Emperors.
Yet the realm only prepared Wang Yangzi, a quasi-Saint. If real conflict erupted, Wang Yangzi giving those Great Saints vegetables would not even be enough as appetizers!
So Chen Xia was worried about this, afraid that Wang Yangzi would not be powerful enough and bring him down in a crash.
Xu Zhen of course saw Chen Xia’s worries, and comforted, “Brother Xia, don’t panic. The practitioners of the Immortal Realm who will descend later should recognize me. You can just follow me back to the Immortal Realm.”
“No, I still have urgent matters,” Chen Xia shook his head in refusal. Old Zhang was still waiting for him back in the realm. No matter what, he had to go back and take a look at him first.
“Alright, then I’ll go back with you,” Xu Zhen did not show any opposition at all, and was even willing to follow Chen Xia.
“Then what about the Immortal Realm?” Chen Xia asked.
“Not familiar,” Xu Zhen waved her hand.
It had to be said, familial intimacy and distance had their differences, exceptionally demonstrated through her.
Chen Xia scratched his head, still feeling a bit vexed. He wondered if he could catch Little Supreme first to slaughter him. Otherwise, when the saints descend, if Little Supreme already had backers, he definitely could not slaughter the saints along with Little Supreme!
He would definitely fail to expect any rescue from Wang Yangzi, while the saints of the Immortal Realm would be even more unlikely to lend a hand to help an outsider like him.
Chen Xia frowned and shook his head, saying, “We’ll see when the time comes. If it really doesn’t work out, we’ll just run first thing. Let’s not get involved with the saints fighting.”
“Alright,” Xu Zhen did not show any opposition.
“Alright, alright,” Ma Xiaohong nodded even more strongly. Towards escaping, she had a special fondness.
In the time after, the Great Death Realm stabilized. Conflicts lessened, and each genius calmly cultivated, waiting for the second opening of the Great Death Realm to return home.
This was the final period already. No one wanted any incidents to happen at this time.
Chen Xia frowned. Upon thinking, he felt it was inappropriate. He had finally become halfway invincible, so it was really unacceptable that he did not extort——borrow some things.
Since he would run once the Great Death Realm opened anyway, he did not need to fear revenge either. Henceforth, he began loitering around in the stars, looking to borrow more money from those ranked higher.
From divine sons of the Divine Realm at the peak, to trash cultivators at the bottom, all had to lend money to him.
Of course, they could also choose not to lend money.
Then Chen Xia would directly begin robbing.
There were no poor people in the current Great Death Realm, and no good people either.
They were all birds of a feather, having come to the Great Death Realm to raid tombs. So Chen Xia’s behavior was at most black eating black.
After robbing others, Chen Xia did not feel any psychological burden at all. Instead, his Dao heart became even more steady.
This was truly an unexpected joy.
The treasures obtained were naturally divided evenly between Chen Xia’s group of three. Everyone took some.
Over time, the relationship between Xu Zhen and Ma Xiaohong became increasingly harmonious. The two often went out together to search for opportunities, burrowing straight into stars they had never gone to before. Although their coordination was not superb, it was already quite good.
Ma Xiaohong’s white hair was now tied up together, accessorized with a green hairpin that Xu Zhen had gifted her. Although there were still some fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she looked much younger.
Xu Zhen looked her over and nodded in satisfaction, while also saying, “When we go to the Immortal Realm, I’ll bring you to the Immortal Palace to use the Great Dao Immortal Cauldron once, to have you undergo rebirth.”
“No need,” Ma Xiaohong hurriedly shook her head. That sounded like an expensive item.
“It’s fine, when the time comes I’ll be quasi-Saint already. I’ll have one chance to use the Great Dao Immortal Cauldron, I’ll just borrow the chance for you,” Xu Zhen laughed.
It was rare for her to laugh this way to anyone other than Chen Xia now.
“What exactly is this Great Dao Immortal Cauldron?” Chen Xia curiously asked at the side.
Xu Zhen replied, “It is said to be a piece of primordial chaos stone at the very beginning when the Immortal Realm originated, constantly refined by many Great Saints into the current Great Dao Immortal Cauldron. It contains the life's great Daos of many Great Emperors, comparable to the Supreme Seal of the Supreme Realm, the Hall of Group Sages of the Celestial Realm, and the Immortal Divine Tree of the Divine Realm. They are all realm-class immortal artifacts.”
“I see,” Chen Xia nodded. He decided that after becoming invincible in the future, he would borrow the Great Dao Immortal Cauldron to let Ma Xiaohong undergo rebirth every day.
It had to be said that he indeed had ideas.
In the next two hundred years, nothing happened. Everything was peaceful and quiet.
The entire Great Death Realm seemed to revert to the initial times. No movement of cultivators was heard, all of them cultivating by themselves.
Between the extremely serene stars——
Little Supreme sat steadily. His injuries still ached faintly, and he had fallen three realms. Feeling the pain again now, he gritted his teeth tightly. Opening his eyes filled with hatred, he clenched his fists and smashed the ground, furiously yelling.
“When the Great Saints descend, I will definitely request of them to skin you alive and use your soul to light sky lanterns!”
He extremely hated Chen Xia.
At the same time——
In the distant space of the realms, nine towering figures stood tall, each sizing up the world below themselves.
In front of them was a figure resembling neither man nor beast, currently standing with hands behind his back, an extremely excited expression as he said, “Chen Xia, your granddaddy I is coming!”
In the two thousand one hundredth year——
Heavenly light rose at that time, the gates opening wide!
Quasi saints descended first.
Landing within, they waved a hand to effortlessly extinguish the surrounding hundred cultivators, lightly spitting out.
“Insects!”
