"They are my people. From now on, no one can take them away without my permission!"
Chen Nan's tone was calm, but it carried a commanding presence!
"Yes!"
You Jin responded respectfully, then unbound Xue Yun and the others from their restraints. "Young friend Chen, if there's nothing else, this old one shall take his leave!"
"Scram!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
You Jin felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He employed instant transmission and vanished into the heavens and earth in a flash!
However!
His enraged roar echoed through the sky!
"Little Chen Nan, you just wait, this is not over between us!"
"You'd best stay in the mortal world for the rest of your life. If you dare to come to the eighteen lesser worlds!"
"We will ensure you can never return!"
Chen Nan: "..."
Was he really this shameless?
He had called him 'Young friend Chen' earlier!
Yet now, after retreating to a safe distance, he called him 'Little Chen Nan'?
What was the difference between this and a stray dog running away with its tail tucked between its legs after being beaten?
Only daring to bark once it reached a safe distance!
"Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master, for gaining the recognition of the Heavenly Dao and becoming the Chosen One!"
Xue Yun and the others were filled with fervent admiration!
The Chosen One was an era's unparalleled prodigy, capable of even receiving assistance from the Heavenly Dao rules at times!
For instance, earlier, Chen Nan had clearly been empowered by the Heavenly Dao rules! Otherwise, lightning would not have accompanied his slap.
Frankly speaking, in the mortal world, Chen Nan was practically invincible!
The previous kill of Zhen Kong was the best proof of this!
"Hearing that old fellow, if I enter the eighteen lesser worlds, will I be rejected by them?" Chen Nan asked.
Xue Yun replied, "Yes, although the eighteen lesser worlds are affiliated with Earth, they are independent small worlds with different Heavenly Dao rules. If Master were to truly go there, his strength would be limited!"
Ge Deng added, "Master, the eighteen lesser worlds are far inferior to the civilization on Earth. Going there is meaningless!"
Liu Yi Dao chimed in, "That's right, that's right. The eighteen lesser worlds are currently under feudal rule, similar to Earth hundreds of years ago. They are not fun at all! As long as you don't go there, they won't be able to harm you in the slightest!"
Chen Nan shook his head. "My parents and little sister are currently in the Ninth Lesser World. I have to go there and bring them back."
As soon as he said this!
Everyone's expression changed!
Xue Yun trembled, "Master, the old man you just saw, You Jin, hails from the Ninth Lesser World!"
"Damn it!"
Chen Nan never dreamed that the other party would come from the Ninth Lesser World! If he had known his parents and little sister were there, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
"Go to Kyoto and deliver this storage bag to Li Mu!"
Chen Nan tossed a storage bag to Xue Yun, containing a hundred thousand spirit stones! He had originally planned to go himself! But now it seemed! He had to go to the Ninth Lesser World first!
Whoosh!
He flew on his sword at the fastest speed towards Kunlun Mountain! Because he knew the entrance to the Ninth Lesser World was in Kunlun Mountain's Death Valley. Jia Xiu had once told him that if he wanted to go to the Ninth Lesser World, he could call his name in Death Valley! Although Chen Nan knew that Nascent Soul cultivators were faster, he could only take a gamble now! He gambled that You Jin had not returned to Kunlun Mountain immediately!
Just before sunset!
Chen Nan arrived at Kunlun Mountain! As soon as he appeared above Kunlun Mountain, the Dragon Hound with golden-red fur appeared on a majestic snow mountain! To Chen Nan's delight, the Dragon Hound had also survived the heavenly tribulation and possessed a demon core within its body! Its aura was exceptionally potent! Even when Chen Nan saw its cold eyes, he felt a shiver.
"Sister Ao, take me to Death Valley!"
Kunlun Mountain was vast, and Chen Nan alone could not find the exact location of Death Valley!
"Follow me!"
The Dragon Hound spoke human words and led Chen Nan through Kunlun Mountain! An hour later! A man and a dog appeared in a silent valley! There was no wind here, and the silence was eerie! Faint human skeletons and animal remains were visible on the ground!
The Dragon Hound said, "This is the entrance to the Ninth Lesser World. Because it connects two worlds, the Heavenly Dao rules here are in a state of chaos. As long as you carry metal objects into it, you will be struck by heavenly lightning!"
Chen Nan understood and then asked, "Did you see any Nascent Soul cultivators enter the Ninth Lesser World today?"
The Dragon Hound replied, "I did see two Nascent Soul cultivators leave the Ninth Lesser World; I did not see them return!"
Chen Nan's worried heart settled! It was good that they hadn't returned. He could completely infiltrate the Ninth Lesser World and bring back his parents and little sister!
"Uncle Jia Xiu, I am Chen Nan. Please appear and meet me!"
His voice boomed like thunder, echoing at the entrance to the lesser world! Jia Xiu had said that he only needed to call his name at the entrance to the lesser world! However, five minutes passed! Jia Xiu still did not appear! He did not even receive a response! For some reason! A premonition of disaster spread in Chen Nan's heart!
"Do you know how to enter the Ninth Lesser World?" Chen Nan looked at the Dragon Hound!
The Dragon Hound shook its head. "Unless someone from the Ninth Lesser World opens the passage from within, people from Earth cannot enter alone! Unless someone from the Ninth Lesser World brings you in!"
Chen Nan looked up at the void. "Can you help me with something?" He knew the Heavenly Dao rules had consciousness; otherwise, it would not have targeted him during his tribulation! And it wouldn't have helped him suppress that Nascent Soul cultivator, Zhen Kong, before!
Boom!
Dark clouds churned in the sky, and streaks of heavenly lightning continuously struck the valley in front of Chen Nan!
"The eighteen lesser worlds are all independent existences. Even it cannot open a spatial-temporal passage!" the Dragon Hound said in a low voice! "Moreover, it has always wanted to destroy the eighteen lesser worlds! Legend has it that the existence of the eighteen lesser worlds affects the balance of the mortal world! They absorb the spiritual energy of Kunlun Mountain!"
Chen Nan was full of anxiety! He didn't care about the impact of the eighteen lesser worlds on Earth; he just wanted to bring his parents and two younger sisters back!
Suddenly!
The Dragon Hound looked to the east, its eyes grave. "A Nascent Soul cultivator has returned. It's the one who left here today!"
Was it You Jin? Chen Nan's eyes lit up! Since he had returned, he could completely kill him and eliminate future troubles! But! He immediately rejected this idea! Although he could kill You Jin! Killing him would inevitably trigger many chain reactions! Instead of that, it was better to follow him and infiltrate the Ninth Lesser World! Thinking this! Chen Nan said, "Sister Ao, you leave first. I will follow him to infiltrate the Ninth Lesser World!"
The Dragon Hound said, "It is said that each lesser world has a divine talisman. If possible, I hope you can retrieve it. It will be very beneficial to you." With that, it vanished from Chen Nan's sight! Chen Nan immediately summoned his Immortal Mansion and flew into it! Instantly! The Immortal Mansion turned into a tiny speck of dust and landed on You Jin after he appeared! Following him, he entered the Ninth Lesser World!
