"Saying all this is mainly to tell you about the Human Emperor's methods!"
"I don't deny that he is an extremely terrifying existence!"
"But he is not absolutely invincible!"
"Do you know what this immortal mansion is called?"
Chen Nan shook his head!
"This thing is called the Tongtian Tower!"
"If you can open the ninth level, you will be equivalent to being above the heavens!"
"Even if the Human Emperor uses heaven and earth as a chessboard and all beings as chess pieces, you can see through his scheme!"
"And deliver a fatal blow!"
"You are a smart person!"
"You should know that only brutes solve problems with their fists!"
Chen Nan asked, "Senior, how can I open the subsequent immortal mansions?"
"I only know how to open the sixth level of the Tongtian Tower!"
"That is to refine a high-grade immortal artifact!"
???
Chen Nan once thought he had auditory hallucinations: "To refine a high-grade immortal artifact?"
Luo Yuan sighed, "I refined a high-grade immortal artifact back then, and I thought I could open the sixth level of the Tongtian Tower!"
"But at that time..."
"My Dao companion ruthlessly stabbed me with a sword!"
"After that, the Human Emperor arrived, and I only then realized that she had always been a chess piece arranged by the Human Emperor by my side!"
Chen Nan could not imagine the pain of being betrayed by the woman he loved!
If it were him!
It would be more unbearable than killing him outright!
"Human hearts are treacherous, be sure to guard against the people around you!"
Luo Yuan's words made Chen Nan almost suffocate!
He knew what Luo Yuan meant!
He was worried that there were chess pieces planted by the Human Emperor around him!
"However, you don't need to worry about the Empress, King Wu, Cao Rufeng, and the great demons of the demon realm!"
"With the Human Emperor's strength, it's not enough to control chess pieces of their level!"
A wry smile flickered on Chen Nan's lips!
He had many confidantes!
But as it stands now...
The only one he didn't need to guard against was the Empress!
This was truly a great irony!
Taking a deep breath, Chen Nan said, "Senior, in other words, even if you refined a high-grade immortal artifact, it's not enough to open the sixth level of the Tongtian Tower now, right?"
"Correct, the Tongtian Tower has long since recognized you as its master. If you want to open the sixth level, you need to refine a high-grade immortal artifact yourself!"
"Although I don't know why the Tongtian Tower has this rule, it is definitely beneficial and harmless to you!"
Chen Nan also knew that refining artifacts could temper one's mind!
It could even allow one to befriend countless powerful individuals!
To some extent!
The status of an artifact refiner was equal to that of an alchemist or formation master!
After all, which cultivator didn't dream of owning a powerful immortal artifact?
"You can go to the Yan Kingdom!"
"There is a Sword Forging Academy there!"
"It is one of the three great academies of the Yan Kingdom!"
"Throughout the entire immortal realm, many reputable artifact refiners come from the Sword Forging Academy!"
"Going there can improve your artifact refining skills!"
As he said this, a jade slip appeared in his hand: "If you go to the Sword Forging Academy, you can take this jade slip and find someone named Cai Jian!"
"Yes!"
Chen Nan had originally planned to teleport to the Central Continent immediately after leaving the Wu Kingdom!
But now it seemed!
He had to change his previous plan!
If he rashly went to the Central Continent, he would surely face utter destruction!
"I need to rest for a while, and I hope to see you on the top floor!" Luo Yuan's figure gradually disappeared from Chen Nan's sight!
Then Chen Nan's soul retreated from the immortal mansion!
This trip to the immortal mansion not only yielded a high-grade immortal artifact!
A defensive battle armor!
But more importantly, he gained knowledge about the Human Emperor!
Knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in every battle!
This could be considered a worthwhile trip!
"What that young fellow said is right, the Sword Forging Academy is indeed extraordinary!"
"You can go there to learn the art of artifact refining!"
"This will not only allow you to open the sixth level of the Tongtian Tower, but it will also be beneficial for you to rebuild the Heavenly Palace in the future!"
Qinglong's voice echoed in Chen Nan's mind!
A determined gaze flickered in Chen Nan's eyes!
"Let's go, I'll help you find divine medicines!"
"You are still considerate!" Qinglong's tone revealed a hint of relief. "However, it's not necessary. I absorbed a lot of divine power in the Pool of Creation earlier!"
"I just need to thoroughly refine them, and I will be able to recover some of my cultivation!"
"At this point, even if I consume more divine medicines, they will not help me!"
"So!"
"I need to go into seclusion!"
"Remember one thing!"
"Do not use the Pillar of Merit lightly!"
"Oh, and by the way!"
"You can now try to consume divine medicines!"
The curse of the Primordial Sacred Body has been broken!
Chen Nan not only stepped into the Earth Immortal realm!
His physical body even had a more terrifying improvement!
Consuming a small amount of divine medicine would be beneficial and harmless to him!
Then Qinglong told Chen Nan the locations of several divine medicines!
Chen Nan followed Qinglong's instructions and finally found six divine medicines!
To call them divine medicines is somewhat exaggerated!
They were actually spiritual medicines that had lived for over a million years!
Because of their extremely long growth period, they had absorbed too much spiritual energy from heaven and earth, as well as the essence of the sun and moon!
Therefore, their efficacy was comparable to divine medicines!
But it was only comparable!
"There are less than five months left before I can leave here!"
"I really hope this day comes soon!"
Before, Chen Nan wished time would slow down!
But now!
He wished he could leave immediately!
Only by leaving here could he temporarily forget the humiliation brought to him by the Empress!
And now they were in the same space!
He couldn't forget it at all!
Fortunately, the Empress had already used him!
He could also find a quiet place to cultivate!
"You swallowed the Yang Fish earlier, you can try to master the laws of extreme Yang!"
"Instead of cultivating all sorts of messy things!"
Under the night sky!
The Empress's voice suddenly sounded!
Chen Nan's eyes snapped open, and he saw the Empress, who had appeared by the almost burned-out bonfire at some unknown time!
Wearing a red flowing immortal dress with wide sleeves, her exquisite face, and her transcendent demeanor!
She looked like a goddess walking from the depths of the nine heavens!
Especially the crescent-shaped red mark on her forehead, which added a touch of unattainability!
"How I cultivate is none of your business!" Chen Nan's face was grim, recalling the scene of being reversed by the Empress earlier, a monstrous rage welled up in his heart!
A meaningful smile flickered in the Empress's indifferent eyes: "Didn't you say you weren't interested in this empress before? But if that's the case, will we become intimate naturally?"
"If women can be forced to do such things, men shouldn't be able to, right?"
"You..." Chen Nan's face turned ashen!
He indeed had no interest in the Empress!
But before!
He really couldn't control his physiological response!
Chen Nan gave a self-mocking smile: "Are you here to humiliate me? If so, you win!"
The Empress slowly stood up: "Come back to the wooden house with me!"
Chen Nan: "You have already found your opportunity, is there still a need for us to interact?"
The corner of the Empress's mouth turned up, forming a charming arc: "I felt quite comfortable before, so, before leaving, let you help me pass the time of boredom!"
Chen Nan subconsciously swallowed: "Can I refuse?"
"No!"
Whoosh!
The Empress released the Immortal Binding Rope, tied Chen Nan up, and carried him towards the wooden house!
Chen Nan shed tears of humiliation!
"What a sin!"
