The news that Jiang Chen had come back spread all over like the wind, not only in the Sacred City but also throughout the entire Realm of Nine Heavens.
One could say whatever one wanted, but it would always be the Realm of Nine Heavens from which Jiang Chen arose.
He could even intimidate the Ancients, who were as strong as Martial Emperors. It was unimaginable to think how strong he was.
The folks of the Realm of Nine Heavens were extremely proud of him. Those from the Fire Field were even crazier about him.
The Hundred Thousand Mountains, where the Jiang Mansion used to be, had become an important tourism site.
Many acquaintances of Jiang Chen’s were widely respected. They used their friendship with Jiang Chen as a way to boast and win people’s interest.
In a word, Jiang Chen was like a god to the Realm of Nine Heavens.
In the Gao Mansion, in the Sacred City, Jiang Chen had settled in.
The Chengs had moved away. It was said they had moved completely away from the Realm of Nine Heavens. That was reasonable. No one could be shameless enough to go on living here, pretending nothing had happened.
Jiang Chen used this place as his temporary residence. He called over the leaders of the Sacred Institute and other aristocratic families of inheritance for meetings here.
All of them were given a good scare after hearing from Jiang Chen what was happening on the Alien Battlefield.
They might not know much about the outside world, but they had heard about the Alien Battlefield.
During the war between the Flying Dragon Dynasty and the Dragon Rebel Kingdom, lots of people from the Dragon Field had been caught to serve in the army. They were taken to the Alien Battlefield.
People more or less knew something about that terrifying place.
“The Demons aren’t kidding around. If they make a comeback, they won’t just be satisfied with killing people. They’ll occupy the Three Lower Realms and based there, they’ll attack the Black Yellow Great World.”
This was the worst-case scenario that Jiang Chen could think of.
“Jiang Chen, the Alien Battlefield is also the high-level plane worlds’ responsibility. I guess they won’t shut their eyes to what’s happening there,” Nan Gong said hesitatingly.
“Of course they won’t shut their eyes to the fact that the Demons are getting stronger. I’m just afraid they don’t have enough respect for how strong the Demons are, and I’m afraid they won’t plan accordingly and people will die or get injured. That’s also why I’m here, to help get prepared before the Demons’ invasion,” said Jiang Chen.
“Jiang Chen, you should lead us. We will all listen to you. After all, you are the lord of the Realm of Nine Heavens now.”
The people there completely trusted him and were willing to follow his orders.
Jiang Chen touched the ring on his left hand. It represented his identity as the lord of the Realm of Nine Heavens. The ring on the middle finger represented his identity as the lord of the Realm of Milky.
“Order all fields to gather all forces together. Those living close to the Dragon Field can take refuge here. Those living far can go to the powerful fields closest to them, so that the Demons won’t have the chance to conquer us one by one,” said Jiang Chen.
“Understood.”
The people didn’t have any contradictory opinions.
“We are facing a big war. Take these. They will help you.”
Then Jiang Chen took out many things with strong energy fluctuations from his storage ring. There were so many that they piled up as big as a hill.
HISS!
Everyone’s pupils dilated. They took deep breaths.
After making sure they weren’t seeing it wrong, they all went crazy.
The things on the ground included immortal elixirs, spiritual crystals, meteorites, and so on. Jiang Chen had gotten them all while on his many adventures.
As the lord of the Heavenly Palace, he had abundant resources, so he had never used these things.
For these people who had not even achieved the three Venerable states, any of these was invaluable.
Nan Gong was the most thrilled. He was at a very critical stage.
He could either realize a state breakthrough or fail.
Now, with these immortal elixirs, he was confident that he would be able to smash the shackles and scale new heights.
Gazing at Jiang Chen, he was so thrilled that he was even shaking.
Just as he was going to express his gratitude to Jiang Chen, the latter said, “The Sacred Institute played an important role when I was developing myself. You offered me facilities like the Time Palace. Everyone starts something from nothing. This is just something that I should do. You deserve this.”
“Great. Fantastic.”
Nan Gong’s eyes welled up with tears. Due to his excitement, his face flushed.
He was sure that the smartest decision he had ever made in his entire life was bringing Jiang Chen to the Sacred Institute from the Fire Field.
Then Jiang Chen gave some more orders. After all this was finished, Jiang Chen let out a long sigh.
He knew the real challenge had not come yet. The mere thought of it made him excited.
It was his biggest wish to meet the Dragon from his previous life, but stories about the war with the Demons were what could excite him the most.
Heroes in the past had made vigorous efforts to turn the situation around. They killed the Demon Lords and saved the world.
Jiang Chen wished he could jump into the books he was reading to slay Demons whenever he read these stories.
He would never have imagined at that time when he was reading those books that his wish would one day be fulfilled in such a manner.
Although the eighth generation of his holy soul was a hero, this was something different.
To put it in a not very precise way, it was like the Sovereign Spirit.
Affected by the memory of Red Cloud Venerable, Xiao Nuo’s character had changed, but she could still differentiate between Red Cloud Venerable and herself.
…..
Once Jiang Chen was alone, he appeared in the Heavenly Palace through projection by touching the ring on his right hand. He asked Wu Ming about the current situation.
“Jiang Chen, I have something interesting to tell you.”
Wu Ming smiled mysteriously when he saw Jiang Chen.
“Oh?” Judging from his master’s reaction, it must be something very interesting indeed. Jiang Chen’s curiosity was piqued.
“The Realm of Divine Martial Arts was shocked by the news about the Alien Battlefield. A force appeared in a striking manner,” said Wu Ming.
“The Demon Slayers Palace?” Jiang Chen guessed immediately.
“You’ve heard about it?”
Wu Ming was obviously surprised, but his calmness was restored very soon. He added, “That’s not the point. The point is, when people learned that you had showed up in the Realm of Nine Heavens, a voice appeared in the Realm of Divine Martial Arts.”
“Oh?”
“Some people from the three great forces think this is a scheme between the Heavenly Palace and the Ling Long Celestial Palace, and that you want to take this opportunity to ambush them and seek revenge against them.” Wu Ming burst out laughing after speaking.
Jiang Chen was struck dumb, but he soon realized why his master was laughing.
Since who knows when, many forces in the Realm of Divine Martial Arts had been scared of the Heavenly Palace.
This was a proof of the power of their fear.
Besides, this assumption was really ridiculous. No wonder Wu Ming reacted like this.
“Of course, this is only an episode. The Demon Slayers Palace sent their men to the Alien Battlefield. Reliable news has come that a war will break out soon on the Alien Battlefield.”
Wu Ming shifted to a serious topic after his laughter, “The three forces are building an army that will be sent to the Three Lower Realms to fight the Demons.”
“Great.”
Jiang Chen felt calmer now. Since the news had come in time, less people would lose their lives in the Three Lower Realms.
“That being said, Jiang Chen, you must be careful. Your whereabouts have been exposed. It will bring you trouble for sure. If you were the three forces, you would think this was a great opportunity,” Wu Ming said seriously.
Jiang Chen was in the Realm of Nine Heavens, without the protection of Red Cloud Venerable or the influence of the Heavenly Palace.
Most important, the Realm of Nine Heavens was the lowest plane world. It was inevitable for people to think of the saying: catch a turtle in a jar – a sure catch.
“Well, I want to see where my limits are.”
Jiang Chen was not very scared.
“Anyway, be careful.” Wu Ming was not worried either.
He knew Jiang Chen was carrying the bronze cauldron and the Buddhist Relic with the eight groups of spiritual beings with him.
Unless a Venerable Sovereign came in person, Jiang Chen would be invincible.
Jiang Chen ended the projection, holding the Buddhist Relic in his hand.
The black dragon and the Azure Demon came out of there eagerly.
These two had been used to the free life outside. Jiang Chen wouldn’t have taken them into the relic if he hadn’t planned to be transmitted downward to the Realm of Nine Heavens.
