Caught Red-Handed, Successfully Descending to the Lower Realm!

A year later.

Taichu Immortal Domain, Chaos Green Lotus Realm.

Xuanyuan Che squatted barefoot by the Creation Pool and splashed water on his face. Behind him, the Twelve-Petal Lotus Throne bloomed with a halo of Chaos Qi.

The youth reflected in the pool had features as picturesque as a painting, breathtakingly handsome. The cinnabar mole at the corner of his eye glimmered with an enchanting blood-red light, yet his gaze was so clear it seemed to reflect the starry river of the nine heavens.

"Still this handsome."

He casually plucked a stalk of Innate Profound Yellow Grass and held it between his teeth, then lay down by the pool with one leg crossed over the other.

After leaving the ancestral land, Xuanyuan Che suddenly felt that the air outside was so fresh.

At the Ancestral Shrine, not only had the Seventeenth Ancestor forced him to cultivate from dawn till dusk, the surroundings had also been far too monotonous.

Although the Seventeenth Ancestor treated him very, very well, anyone would grow tired of facing an unkempt old man all day long.

With talent like his, it had taken him a whole year to obtain approval to escape the Ancestral Shrine.

If he had been made to cultivate for several more years, Xuanyuan Che had no doubt that he would develop depression.

"Young Master, you have already cultivated your Chaos Physical Body to great completion in the Ancestral Shrine. It is time to try the Chaos Scripture."

A chubby child with a topknot leaped from the pool. He was the incarnation of the Chaos Green Lotus. With a miserable expression, he held out a Jade Slip containing a cultivation art that could drive Immortal Kings mad.

Who wanted to cultivate?

Xuanyuan Che suddenly clutched his chest as Chaos Qi churned violently around him. "Lian Sheng... I think I've suffered cultivation deviation..." Before his words had even fallen, he toppled backward stiffly.

"Young Master! Young Master, what happened to you?!" Lian Sheng was so frightened that his little pearls were about to fall. In a panic, he manifested countless roots to examine him. Yet he failed to notice that Xuanyuan Che's left hand, hidden behind his back, was secretly forming the Steal Heaven and Change Sun Art—an ancient secret art Xuanyuan Che had learned from his second sister as a child.

Nine Heavens Cloud Pavilion.

Xuanyuan Xiaoyao, who had been discussing matters with the White Emperor Clan Envoy, saw the Void Token at his waist flicker faintly.

He glanced from the corner of his eye at his "unconscious" son in the Cloud Mirror, and the corner of his lips curved in an imperceptible smile. "The envoy said just now that you wished to arrange a marriage alliance?"

The White Emperor Clan Envoy kneeling below suddenly felt every hair on his body stand on end, as though some primordial beast had fixed its gaze upon him. "Y-yes, our clan's Divine Maiden..."

"I recall..." Xuanyuan Xiaoyao tapped his fingers lightly against the jade table. Every tap was like thunder exploding in the depths of the envoy's Divine Soul. "The Netherworld Clan once said something similar."

The envoy abruptly recalled the starry sky that had been erased by sword light, and his prostrate body began to tremble.

"It seems that those old fools of your White Emperor Clan still have not understood the consequences of offending my Xuanyuan Family. Since that is the case, please leave."

Xuanyuan Xiaoyao released a trace of his aura, directly forcing the True Immortal Realm envoy to crash to his knees. The latter was utterly horrified!

Though he was an envoy, he was also a clan elder of extraordinary strength among the older generation of the White Emperor Clan.

This time, he had brought many immortal treasures to personally offer apologies, even offering up their clan's Divine Maiden.

He had thought that this was already sufficient sincerity. After all, offending the Xuanyuan Imperial Clan was neither a trivial matter nor an overwhelmingly grave one.

The Xuanyuan Family's Imperial Son, Xuanyuan Changkong, had recently been provoked by the White Emperor Divine Son while searching for treasures in the Outer Heaven Secret Realm. Xuanyuan Changkong had then casually destroyed him.

Yet it was precisely such a "nobody" whom Xuanyuan Changkong remembered.

The Xuanyuan Imperial Clan had every right to speak.

Who do you think you are, and what is my status!

The mere fact that some Divine Son had dared provoke the Xuanyuan Family's Imperial Son was enough reason for the Xuanyuan Family to be dissatisfied with the White Emperor Clan!

Wuwuwu, clearly it was our clan's Divine Son who was gone, and now we had to offer up our clan's Divine Maiden too. The key was that they still looked down on her. Losing both the lady and the army, and the lady could not even be given away—who could he complain to about this suffering? Wuwuwu.

The White Emperor Clan elder had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, yet at this moment, he wanted to cry but had no tears.

However, though he had been kneeling on the floor for a long time, he was not foolish. On the contrary, his mind was exceptionally clear. Resisting Xuanyuan Xiaoyao's pressure with all the strength of his mid-stage True Immortal Realm cultivation, he said with difficulty, "My White Emperor Clan is willing to swear upon the Heavenly Dao that we shall submit to the Xuanyuan Imperial Clan for all eternity!"

"You are more sensible than the Netherworld Clan. Swearing upon the Heavenly Dao is a bit low, but I suppose that is the limit of what you can offer.

"Put away those petty thoughts. Show your sincerity. Tomorrow, I will send an envoy to White Emperor City for the handover. You may withdraw."

With a flick of his robe embroidered with dark gilded patterns, he vanished into the void.

As the pressure gradually dissipated, the White Emperor Clan elder's twitching lips finally flew wildly up and down after Xuanyuan Xiaoyao left. He did not dare linger, and with a flash, vanished into the sky.

Chaos Green Lotus Realm.

Xuanyuan Che secretly opened his left eye. While Lian Sheng shed little pearls by the handful, he frantically stuffed all kinds of Supreme Divine Pills into Xuanyuan Che's mouth as though they cost nothing.

Seizing the opportunity, Xuanyuan Che crushed a Void Breaking Talisman.

A crack opened in the void, and a Substitute Puppet that looked ninety percent like him fell out—it was the masterpiece Xuanyuan Che had nurtured with two drops of his heart's blood for nearly half a year.

"Little Wooden Block, cover for me for a while. Brothers stay in the heart!" ⌯＞ᴗo⌯ಣ

"Lian Sheng, keep an eye on this wooden lump for me~" Chaos divine light shone from the youth's fingertips as he carved a Heaven Deceiving Divine Mark onto the puppet's forehead. As he turned into a breeze and vanished, he did not forget to swipe the Profound Yellow Mother Qi Cauldron from the bottom of the pool.

"Phew, so Young Master wasn't dead." Lian Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead with his chubby little hand, twisted his round little butt as he stood up, and let out a long breath.

"Eh, wait!

"Young Master, wait! Young Master, where are you going? Wuwuwu!"

The chubby child was about to break down again.

Half an hour later, beside the boundary monument.

"Jiejiejiejie!" Xuanyuan Che threw back his head and laughed loudly at the sky.

"I've long heard Big Brother and Second Sister say that the Lower Realm has Three Thousand Dao Continents and countless fun places. Today, this young master will go experience them for himself!"

He changed into coarse linen clothes, but that face of his looked even more world-shaking against such plain attire. A passing immortal crane suddenly crashed into a towering divine tree by the roadside, drawing the attention of the Xuanyuan Guards stationed in the distance to watch over the boundary monument. Fortunately, the stream of passersby kept them from noticing this little brat.

"This won't do." Xuanyuan Che's eyes shifted as Chaos Qi flowed across his face.

A moment later, the youth in the mirror had lost some of his peerless handsomeness and gained a touch of plainness. He was no longer as outrageously striking as before, though those eyes still glittered like stars, beautiful enough to stun the world.

Falling Immortal Platform.

This was the weakest point in the barrier between realms of the Taichu Immortal Domain. Xuanyuan Che took out a handful of glittering World Breaking Talismans, all treasures he had swindled from his father, mother, brother, sisters, and every aunt and relative under the sun over the past few years. Just as he was about to cast a spell, a cool female voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Where is the little one going?"

Eighteen azure-green chains sealed all eight directions. A peerlessly beautiful fairy stepped through the air. She was Ji Liuli's close friend—

the Cloud Family Imperial Daughter, Yun Qingluan!

Beautiful, very beautiful.

Her face, like congealed cream, carried a moonlit halo. Her pupils resembled heterochromatic glass tempered by morning dew. Her dark green hair spilled behind her, and she wore green robes, cold and aloof as though untouched by mortal dust.

She looked at Xuanyuan Che with both vigilance and... hm? Why did she seem so gentle?

Yet in Xuanyuan Che's heart...

Holy shit, why was it this woman!

Why was she here?!

How had she recognized me?!!!

Xuanyuan Che's lips twitched. He cried inwardly that things were bad. This peerlessly beautiful woman had appeared at such a coincidental moment and ruined his flawless plan!

Matters had come to this, and the situation was urgent beyond measure. There was no time to think further.

When he turned around again, Xuanyuan Che had already put on a tearful expression. "Sister Qingluan, I actually came nearby to look for some Star Sand to make a hairpin for Second Sister..." As he spoke, he pulled a crude wooden hairpin from his robes and handed it to Yun Qingluan. Starlight, disguised by Chaos Qi, flowed over it.

Yun Qingluan's eyes softened. After all, she had often played with chil... helped take care of children together with Ji Liuli before.

Besides, with those eyes of his that were beautiful beyond reason and that look of having suffered an immense grievance, she did not inspect the wooden hairpin closely. The chains clenched in her hand loosened slightly. "Is that so..."

His looks made sense!

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Che was overjoyed.

"But Che'er, why are you covering your fac—"

Before her words could fall, Xuanyuan Che's hands suddenly formed seals. He hurled out the Profound Yellow Mother Qi Cauldron, and the vast Mother Qi instantly suppressed Yun Qingluan until her body stalled. Taking the chance, he crushed a World Breaking Talisman. A sly, triumphant smile crossed his lips as his entire body became a streak of light and plunged toward the Lower Realm.

The Cloud Family Imperial Daughter narrowed her eyes, thought for a moment, then dismissed the idea of pursuing him.

Beyond the Twelve Heavens.

Xuanyuan Changkong, who had been hunting extraterrestrial heavenly demons, suddenly sheathed his sword. Looking at the Chaos mark emerging in his palm, he smiled. "Little fox."

With a flick of his finger, he sent a strand of sword intent to attach itself to the hem of his younger brother's clothes tens of thousands of miles away. When he turned around, one hundred thousand heavenly demons were reduced to ashes.

Beside Yun Qingluan, Ji Liuli's figure gradually emerged. Half amused and half helpless, Yun Qingluan handed her the wooden hairpin.

After examining it slightly, both women could not help being startled.

Within the seemingly crude hairpin was actually hidden a Chaos Array Pattern capable of blocking a full strike from a peak True Immortal!

"Good boy, he truly has some skill." Yun Qingluan exclaimed.

"Qingluan darling, don't be angry. This brat has been holding it in for a long time—let him have some fun. When he comes back, we'll teach him a proper lesson!"

If one were to ask whom Xuanyuan Che feared most, it was the woman before Ji Liuli, who liked wielding whips... chains.

A crafty gleam flashed through her phoenix eyes. Ji Liuli wrapped an arm around Yun Qingluan and said with a smile, "Come with me to fetch some Northern Nether Profound Ice first. I want to carve Che'er a new toy."

Deep within the sea of clouds, Ji Ruxue leaned in her husband's arms and smiled. "You deliberately let Che'er go. Aren't you afraid..."

"Don't worry, my wife. He won't die."

"..."

Xuanyuan Xiaoyao raised his hand and summoned the stars of all heavens, setting three thousand layers of protection along the path of his beloved son's descent. "Back then, when you and I snuck off to Immortal Burial Ridge, we were far crazier than this." The Void Token transformed into an ordinary jade pendant and silently tied itself around Xuanyuan Che's waist.

After thinking for a moment, Xuanyuan Xiaoyao waved toward the void again.

"Xiao Qi, go help me keep an eye on the child."
