Inside Lu Chen's mind.
Nantian Wan'er saw Lu Chen inside a room.
Pink mist permeated the room, and a group of half-naked fox demon women surrounded him.
The fox demon women had bewitching figures and gave off waves of fragrant body scent, brimming with temptation.
They took the opportunity to coil around Lu Chen, caressing his skin and endlessly teasing him.
This scene should have been enough to set any man's heart racing, yet Lu Chen held the Primal Chaos Greatsword and kept swinging it in attack.
"Little brother, just submit to us. Stop resisting. We sisters will definitely serve you well."
"That's right, that's right, little brother. Just submit to us."
The fox demon women's voices brimmed with temptation as they continuously lured Lu Chen.
"Little brother, look at my body. Isn't it enticing?"
Taking advantage of a gap while Lu Chen swung his greatsword, one fox demon woman rushed into his arms.
Her lips brushed against Lu Chen's ear, her soft breasts pressed tightly against his arm, while both hands continuously caressed his chest.
For a moment, Lu Chen's breathing grew heavier, and the speed at which he swung his greatsword slowed somewhat.
"So this is your method of attack? Watch me kill you all."
Feeling the heat rising within his body, Lu Chen assumed he had inhaled the poisonous smoke from the fox demon women.
He forcefully pushed away the fox demon women clinging to him and intensified his attacks.
The fox demon women did not dodge Lu Chen's attacks, as though they had lost all awareness and only knew how to tempt him.
The fox demon women were killed again and again, yet more kept appearing, seemingly endless.
"Red Fox's trial methods are no good. These demonic beasts only have these tricks? They can't even withstand a single strike from me."
"Huh? Wan'er, why are you here? Be careful of these demonic beasts around us. They carry poisonous smoke, and once you inhale it, your entire body will grow feverish."
Noticing Nantian Wan'er's arrival, Lu Chen moved closer to her while swinging his greatsword and attacking.
"Huh? A little sister has come too. Let's serve little brother together."
As Nantian Wan'er watched this decadent scene, she immediately understood what they meant by serving him. Her face instantly flushed all the way to the roots of her neck.
Gradually, Nantian Wan'er felt a wave of heat rise from below. Her chest heaved more heavily as she continuously exhaled hot, feminine breaths.
Feeling the heat continuously building inside her, Nantian Wan'er did not dare linger any longer and hurriedly ran toward Lu Chen.
"Wan'er, did you inhale poisonous gas? Hurry and take an antidote pill."
Seeing Nantian Wan'er beside him with her face completely flushed, Lu Chen assumed it had been caused by inhaling poisonous gas.
Feeling the hot breath Nantian Wan'er exhaled, the heat in his own body intensified, and some unusual changes slowly began occurring to his body.
Thinking the poisoning had worsened, Lu Chen hurriedly took out two antidote pills and gave one to each of them.
Seeing the fox demon women gathering around them, Nantian Wan'er delayed no longer. She grabbed Lu Chen's wrist and began running outside.
"Wan'er, what's wrong?"
Lu Chen looked at Nantian Wan'er's panicked expression, somewhat confused.
"Brother Lu, we need to get out immediately, or it will be too late."
Lu Chen said, "But... but I'm..."
Ignoring Lu Chen's explanation, Nantian Wan'er charged toward the light at the doorway.
Bang...
A crisp sound rang out.
Nantian Wan'er's consciousness returned to her body, and she panted heavily.
Recalling what had happened in the room, her chest rose and fell even more violently. Her breath turned scorching as it continuously sprayed across Lu Chen's face.
As though sensing Nantian Wan'er's breath, Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes in her arms.
Lu Chen looked at Nantian Wan'er in confusion. "Huh? Wan'er, why am I in your arms?"
"Brother Lu, you're finally awake."
Noticing that Lu Chen had regained consciousness, Nantian Wan'er hurriedly concealed the restlessness in her body. She stepped forward and hugged him tightly, tears streaming down and soaking Lu Chen's back.
"Brother Lu, do you know? I nearly thought you wouldn't come back. You scared me to death."
"Be good, Wan'er. Don't cry. I'm fine."
For a moment, Lu Chen did not understand what had happened and could only keep comforting Nantian Wan'er.
Wind Dragon said, "Hm? He woke up so quickly? Let's see how effective it was."
"Little Lu, now you know what Mistress is, right?"
Wind Dragon and the other two believed that Lu Chen had come to understand the matters between men and women after this incident.
"Red Fox, your trial is no good. Those female demonic beasts didn't even attack. They just kept touching my face, and it was terribly uncomfortable. When I attacked them, they didn't fight back either."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Red Fox felt her blood and qi churn in her chest, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"I refuse to believe it. My seductive illusion had no effect on someone in the Breath Regulation Realm?"
Unable to endure Lu Chen's mockery, Red Fox formed hand seals and prepared to cast an even deeper illusion upon him.
"Sister Red, forget it. I don't want Brother Lu to suffer any longer."
Nantian Wan'er stopped Red Fox. She did not want Lu Chen to endure such suffering again.
"Hmph, I'll spare you for Mistress's sake. Faced with the caresses of so many beautiful women, you actually took them for attacking puppets?"
Red Fox's face was livid, and the fury ready to erupt from her body was plain for all to see.
Her shoulders and chest rose, fell, and trembled violently, showing that Lu Chen had truly enraged her.
"What caresses? Weren't they attacking me?"
Lu Chen turned to look at Red Fox, utterly unaware of the fluctuations in her emotions.
"You... you, you! I'm going to kill you, you stinking man."
Lu Chen's words directly ignited the last of Red Fox's restraint.
Wind Dragon and Bai Ze broke out in cold sweat and hurried forward to soothe Red Fox's emotions.
Lu Chen looked at Red Fox's actions, somewhat puzzled.
"Wan'er, tell them, wasn't that an attack just now?"
"Yes, yes, Brother Lu. Everything you say is right."
Nantian Wan'er no longer wanted Lu Chen to undergo any more illusions. As long as she could remain by Lu Chen's side, she felt that was enough.
After all, they still had so much time. She believed that one day, Lu Chen would surely see the light.
Yet in Red Fox's ears, those words were like a flame igniting a bomb.
"You... what did you say?"
The emotions Red Fox had just managed to suppress exploded completely.
She directly transformed into her true form.
Her true form stood over thirty meters tall, nine tails dancing behind her.
Her claws carried astonishing force as she charged toward Lu Chen.
Facing the nearly crazed Red Fox, Wind Dragon and Bai Ze were faintly being pushed into a disadvantage as well, and hurriedly called for the others to come help.
"What's wrong with Red Fox? Why does she feel just like those female demonic beasts from before?"
Upon hearing those words, everyone broke out in cold sweat, vaguely feeling that even if they combined all their strength, they might not be able to stop Red Fox's attack.
"Lu Chen, you... ah... I will definitely kill you, you stinking man."
Red Fox had nearly gone completely mad.
Bai Ze hurriedly took Lu Chen and Nantian Wan'er away from the area.
"What exactly happened to Red Fox?"
Lu Chen had asked the entire way.
He truly could not understand why Red Fox had suddenly exploded because of a single sentence from him.
"Forget it. She'll get used to it with time. The Red Fox clan just has this problem."
Bai Ze had already resigned himself to Lu Chen and began brushing off his questions.
In his heart, he hoped that with the passage of time, Lu Chen would gradually come to understand the matters between men and women.
"By the way, Bai Ze, what did you want with me? I saw you rushing over in such a hurry."
Lu Chen recalled how Bai Ze had rushed over earlier.
"King, I came to ask you to help me obtain access within the Small World."
Bai Ze looked at Lu Chen and spoke slowly.
"King, you know that our Bai Ze clan can comprehend the past and future. But ever since coming here, there have been more and more things I cannot see through. I want to understand these matters."
Hearing Bai Ze's words, Lu Chen placed a finger from his right hand against Bai Ze's brow and granted him passage into the Small World.
"Thank you, my King."
Having obtained passage into the Small World, Bai Ze bade the two of them farewell and went to seek the truth.
"Brother Lu, what should we do now?"
Watching Bai Ze leave, Nantian Wan'er asked.
"The Azure Emperor Divine Tree is still restraining the Small World for now. Let's go look around."
The two arrived at the medicinal field.
The Spirit Plants had matured, yet Lu Chen had not harvested them in time.
They continuously blossomed and bore fruit, their seeds scattering throughout the entire medicinal field.
Suffused with dense spiritual qi, the Spirit Plants in the medicinal field had matured batch after batch.
The medicinal field, spanning more than three thousand zhang, had become packed with all kinds of Spirit Plants.
"Looks like I need to find someone familiar with Spirit Plants to manage this. Otherwise, I won't know how to allocate so many of them, and they will all go to waste."
Lu Chen looked at the medicinal field and muttered to himself. Taking out the Primal Chaos Greatsword, he summoned Wind Dragon and sought some advice.
"Manage Spirit Plants? Eighth Ancestor is best at managing Spirit Plants. If we can find her, even if this medicinal field became tens of millions of times larger, it would be no trouble."
Upon hearing Lu Chen's question, Wind Dragon spoke.
"Eighth Ancestor? The only woman among Lord Azure Emperor's incarnations?"
Lu Chen recalled the memories of Feng Tiancheng, recalling the woman who had spent her entire life studying medicinal principles.
"That's right, it's her. But Eighth Ancestor is elusive as a divine dragon, and I have no news of her now."
"Eighth Ancestor, Eighth Ancestor."
Lu Chen repeated those words over and over, thinking about how he could find her.
"Sigh... forget it. There's no use thinking about it. Then help me tend the medicinal field for the time being."
After thinking for a long time without any clue, Lu Chen turned to Wind Dragon and spoke.
"Sure. The medicinal field is still small right now, so I can help you manage it."
Wind Dragon looked at the nearly thousand-zhang medicinal field and readily agreed.
After examining the medicinal field, Lu Chen arrived at Beast King's Mansion.
The hundred thousand demonic beasts from before had already settled down in the surrounding areas.
Wilderness Plains, Forest of Despair, and Ice Hill Deep Sea—each region was home to nearly a thousand different groups of demonic beasts.
Noticing Lu Chen's arrival, the demonic beasts all bowed to him.
Just then, an unexpected change occurred.
"Brother Lu, look over there."
Nantian Wan'er pointed behind Beast King's Mansion and repeatedly called to Lu Chen.
"What is that? A tower? It's so tall?"
Under the influence of the Azure Emperor Divine Tree, the mist behind Beast King's Mansion gradually became clear and translucent.
A tower-shaped structure reaching into the clouds appeared before everyone.
