Celestial Emperor of Devouring

"Thank you, Mansion Master."

Nine Nether clasped his fists in gratitude, feeling a surge of joy.

"Go to the Lower Realm?" The Grand Commander's heart shook, casting a glance at the Mansion Master with some hesitation.

The Grand Commander's eyes carried a hint of worry.

"Yes, Mansion Master." The Grand Commander respectfully accepted the order without asking further questions.

The true master's disciple of the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion was killed, how could the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion stand idly by?

The Grand Commander's worry was noticed by Nine Nether, who thought to himself, "The power of the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion is terrifyingly immense, yet they do not dare casually visit the Lower Realm. It's even stricter than I imagined."

"No wonder Master wants to investigate that person's origins. Master has long known that the regulations of the Immortal Realm are exceptionally strict, just as the Mansion Master said, the power behind him is definitely not simple."

"Moreover, this force is so strong, it might even surpass the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion."

The Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion is a dominant force in the Immortal Realm, immensely powerful.

Yet, even such a terrifying overlord from the Immortal Mansion does not dare rashly trespass into the Lower Realm.

This shows how strictly regulated the Immortal Realm rules are, and any violation would have severe consequences.

Under such austere Immortal regulations, someone still dares to trespass into the Lower Realm. Either their brains have been kicked by a donkey, or there's a strong force backing them.

"What kind of force is it exactly?" Nine Nether was extremely curious.

The Mansion Master of Myriad Ancient cautioned, "Be very careful on this journey."

"Yes, Mansion Master!" The Grand Commander respectfully replied.

Taking a glance at the Grand Commander, Nine Nether quickly said, "Grand Commander, I have important matters to attend to; I need to return to Taiyi Shrine first, which might delay you a bit."

"Alright." The Grand Commander nodded slightly, then waved his hand, taking Nine Nether and vanishing.

After the Grand Commander left with Nine Nether.

The Great Elder furrowed his brow, saying gravely, "I didn't expect someone from the Immortal Realm to dare trespass into the Lower Realm; they truly disregard the Immortal Realm Envoy."

The Second Elder frowned, "The Immortal Realm Gate contains the Immortal Realm Envoy's power, and ordinary people cannot enter the Lower Realm. Even certain powerful Immortal Monarchs cannot enter the Lower Realm."

"If the Grand Commander's journey is detected by the Immortal Realm Envoy, the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion could..." a Guardian worried, daring not to continue.

The Mansion Master of Myriad Ancient decisively said, "Compared to the matter of the master, the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion is insignificant; the master's matter is most important."

"And what if the Immortal Realm Envoy detects it? At worst, death, but remember, Gu Chenfeng is the true master of the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion."

...

Taiyi Shrine.

The Grand Commander with just a swift movement brought Nine Nether to the Taiyi Shrine's plaza.

"As expected of a powerful Immortal Monarch." Nine Nether marveled in his heart, "In the blink of an eye, back at Taiyi Shrine; the speed is indeed terrifying."

"Welcome, Hall Master!" The guards of Taiyi Shrine greeted respectfully.

Nine Nether laughed happily, saying, "It seems the Grand Commander is quite knowledgeable about Taiyi Shrine."

"I've heard of it," the Grand Commander whispered, "Taiyi Shrine's strength isn't weak either."

"Far inferior to the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion," Nine Nether shook his head.

Just after returning to Taiyi Shrine, Nine Nether sensed the Supreme Sword Intent coming from the Sword Stele of the Cultivation Realm.

"Seems it's been discovered." Nine Nether was overjoyed internally, quickly telling the Grand Commander, "Grand Commander, please wait a moment."

The Grand Commander nodded slightly, showing no impatience, nor dared he to.

Nine Nether, after all, was Gu Chenfeng's disciple; the Grand Commander dared not to be presumptuous.

Nine Nether formed a Sword Gesture with his right hand, gathering Supreme Sword Intent, a surge of overwhelming and captivating Sword Intent suddenly soared to the sky.

"What a domineering Sword Intent." The Grand Commander exclaimed in shock internally, "To be in the late Immortal King Realm and able to gather such a frightening Sword Intent, even causing me to sense a hint of danger."

"The Mansion Master's disciple must be an exceptional Sword Dao genius, and the Sword Technique he cultivates must be extremely powerful; no wonder he could injure Yang Yan with one strike."

At this moment.

Cultivation Realm Taiyi Shrine.

The calm Sword Stele suddenly flashed dazzling golden light, then surged with an extremely terrifying force.

"Ancestor has arrived!" Wang Chongtian and several Elders guarding the Sword Stele, instantly revealed joyous smiles on their faces.

A phantasmal golden body, brimming with terrifying power, emerged.

The golden figure was Nine Nether.

"Welcome Ancestor of Nine Nether!" Wang Chongtian and everyone in Taiyi Shrine respectfully knelt to greet.

Nine Nether smiled and asked, "Seems you've found out."

"The Ancestor was right." Wang Chongtian quickly replied respectfully, "We've discovered the origin of that Immortal backing Taiyi Immortal Sect."

Nine Nether asked, "Who is he? From what power?"

Wang Chongtian respectfully replied, "This person is Ji Tianchuan, from the Chaos Immortal Hall."

"Chaos Immortal Hall!" Nine Nether frowned slightly, his expression exceptionally grave, then asked, "Have you informed Master?"

Leng Yue Wuhen respectfully answered, "Ancestor, the disciple has gone to Medicine God Hall, but the Patriarch was not there, so the disciple conveyed the message to the Senior Patriarch."

"I will head to the Lower Realm immediately." Nine Nether left those words, and the golden body vanished.

Immortal Realm Taiyi Shrine.

Nine Nether withdrew the Supreme Sword Intent and then turned to the Grand Commander, saying, "Grand Commander, the person who trespassed into the Lower Realm is Ji Tianchuan from Chaos Immortal Hall; please inform the Mansion Master."

"Chaos Immortal Hall?" The Grand Commander's face abruptly changed, eyes full of fear.

The fear in the Grand Commander's eyes suggested that Chaos Immortal Hall's power was extremely terrifying as well.

Nine Nether frowned gravely, saying, "Sure enough, those who dared to trespass into the Lower Realm have significant backing; Chaos Immortal Hall's power is even more dreadful than the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion?"

"Indeed." The Grand Commander nodded, then asked with furrowed brows, "Are you sure you want to go to the Lower Realm?"

"Certain." Nine Nether answered without hesitation, "Although the consequences are more frightening than I imagined, I must go; Master's matters are more important than anything else. I'll return after resolving things in the Lower Realm."

The Grand Commander gravely said, "Since you've already decided, I have little to say; be careful in everything."

The voice fell.

The Grand Commander simultaneously mobilized terrifying Immortal Power while forming seals with both hands, finally bringing them together.

The Grand Commander shouted, "Otherworld Space! Open!"

"Hiss hiss!"

As the shout fell, a pitch-black fissure suddenly cracked open in the plaza's sky.

Seeing this scene, Nine Nether widened his eyes in shock, unable to believe that the Grand Commander could forcefully tear open space.

Nine Nether couldn't help but marvel, "As expected of the Grand Commander of the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion, he possesses such astounding abilities."

"This is not my ability," the Grand Commander gently shook his head, saying, "This is a unique Space Technique of the Immortal Mansion, able to access many worlds identical to the Cultivation Realm. You simply need to sense the Cultivation Realm's aura."

"I see." Nine Nether nodded, then clasped his fists in gratitude, "Thank you so much, Grand Commander!"

The voice fell.

Nine Nether immediately flashed into the pitch-black fissure.

"Master! I'm coming!" Nine Nether rejoiced internally, "So many years have passed, I wonder what the Cultivation Realm has become, truly something to look forward to."
