Chen Changan had thought the Hongmeng Dominion Realm was the realm above the Hongmeng Supreme Venerable Realm. Surely it counted as the highest cultivation realm in Primordial Heaven.
But he had never expected another realm to lie between them.
"The Hongmeng Emperor Venerable Realm!"
"You could say that, in Primordial Heaven, the Hongmeng Emperor Venerable Realm is the highest realm."
"Didn't you just say the Hongmeng Dominion Realm was the highest?"
"That's right. The Hongmeng Dominion Realm is the highest, but... only one person in all of Primordial Heaven can reach it."
"So you understand what I mean now, don't you?"
Hearing that, Chen Changan finally understood. The strongest member of the Shenshu Clan was in the Hongmeng Dominion Realm. That meant the most terrifying person in all of Primordial Heaven was here, inside the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm.
As long as he did not appear, wouldn't the Hongmeng Emperor Venerable Realm be the highest realm?
"From what you've said, the Shenshu Clan should be powerful enough to walk sideways across all of Primordial Heaven."
"Then why have they stayed in the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm all this time, never venturing outside?" Chen Changan asked curiously.
"I don't know."
"There are plenty of rumors, but no one knows the real reason."
"What sort of rumors?"
"Some say the Shenshu Clan cannot leave the Celestial Palace. Others say they have no interest in fighting and prefer a peaceful life."
"But the most widespread rumor is that the Shenshu Clan is guarding something, and that's why they won't leave."
"There are plenty of other wild rumors, but they're so obviously false they're not worth mentioning."
It seemed the waters of the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm ran deep indeed. It held a truly formidable powerhouse, and he appeared to be guarding something.
