Chapter 615: Reunion

Ai Yuchen's status in the Holy City had just been recognized, and immediately following that, another major event caused a sensation throughout the Immortal Domain! Zhang Nuo had actually permitted demon cultivators to freely enter and exit the Human Emperor Realm, which meant that cultivators coming down from the Demon Realm were no longer restricted to operating only within their own spheres of influence!

This shocking decision once again stirred up a wind of panic in the Immortal Domain, which had been calm for several years! When the high-level figures of both the human and demon races made this decision, they had also taken certain risks.

The voices of condemnation and questioning all pointed toward Zhang Nuo!

Zhang Nuo, who had been hiding in the Human Emperor Palace and refusing to show his face, felt like his head was splitting; things had reached this point, and there was absolutely no possibility for him to back down. Agreeing to these demands from the Sixteen Chambers in the first place was truly a matter of helplessness! Because the Sixteen Chambers had used a highly tempting condition to make Zhang Nuo submit!

This condition was one Zhang Nuo could almost not refuse! It was to temporarily open a spatial passage to bring Chunyangzi and the others from Yulong Immortal Mountain into the Immortal World!

So many years had passed, and Chunyangzi and the others had already advanced to the Spirit Severing Stage, and even a few of the juniors cultivated by Yulong Immortal Mountain had advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage!

After the Transformation God Stele and the Reception Hall were destroyed during the Demon Beast Tide, Zhang Nuo had been seeking a way to bring everyone to the Immortal World, but with his current supernatural powers, he simply could not do it! He had only mentioned this idea to Murong Hongxiu once; it seemed she was the one who told the Immortal Domain Sixteen Chambers about this matter!

As the first batch of demon cultivators walked into Wushuang Saint Emperor City, the Human Emperor Realm had effectively opened its gates wide! A few months later, those cultivators who had previously opposed the entry of demon cultivators into human territory began to reap the benefits; demon beasts possessed many rare materials that were extremely useful for making up for what humans lacked!

Moreover, the cultivation arts of the demon cultivators also spread rapidly among human cultivators; although they could not be practiced directly, one could still obtain useful parts from them after making some modifications!

In this way, contact between the Human Emperor Realm and the demon cultivators became increasingly frequent. At the same time, the entire Human Emperor Realm became more and more prosperous under Ai Yuchen's governance. Especially since she had always been fair in handling matters; there were several times when disputes arose between human cultivators and demon cultivators, and she handled them impartially, severely punishing those few demon cultivators!

Because of this, her reputation became increasingly resounding in the Human Emperor Realm! It was precisely because of this that the cultivators of the Human Emperor Realm began to slowly accept the demon cultivators!

More than fifty years later, demon cultivators had become an indispensable existence in the Human Emperor Realm; some important tasks required the assistance of demon cultivators to be carried out! Facing the Human Emperor Realm, which was moving toward strength, the other two major powers also began to try to make contact with the demon cultivators!

In this way, the goal of the Immortal Domain Sixteen Chambers was achieved. As demon cultivators and human cultivators merged more and more, gradually, the previous regional divisions became less important!

On this day, Zhang Nuo was sitting in the Human Emperor Palace, pondering current affairs, when suddenly a cultivator ran quickly into the Human Emperor Hall!

"Reporting to the Human Emperor, Senior Wen requests an audience!"

Upon hearing the name Wen Sihong, Zhang Nuo's eyes instantly lit up. Now that the integration of demon cultivators and humans had already shown some progress, as long as this momentum was maintained, in a few hundred years, everything would fall into place! And the things the Sixteen Chambers promised Zhang Nuo should also be fulfilled!

"Invite him in quickly!"

Zhang Nuo said excitedly.

Before long, Wen Sihong walked in!

"Human Emperor, how have you been during this time?"

With a smile on his face, Wen Sihong was very pleased that Zhang Nuo could complete the task so smoothly!

"Fellow Daoist Wen, Zhang has finally not disgraced the mission! What matter does Fellow Daoist need Zhang to handle this time?"

Walking up to Wen Sihong, Zhang Nuo's eyes were full of anticipation!

"Since the matter entrusted to the Human Emperor by the Sixteen Chambers has been handled so beautifully, then we cultivators of the Sixteen Chambers must also fulfill our original promise! Come in!"

Wen Sihong turned back and shouted toward the outside of the hall. At this moment, four cultivators were seen walking in, each carrying a rectangular jade stone coffin in their hands!

Zhang Nuo was slightly startled. What on earth was Wen Sihong trying to do? Judging by his meaning, it was clearly to bring Chunyangzi and the others from the Human Realm to the Immortal World, so why bring four jade stone coffins?

After the four placed the coffins on the ground, they turned and left the hall! At this moment, a bad premonition arose in Zhang Nuo's heart! Coffins were for burying the dead; could it be that an accident occurred during the reception process? But looking at Wen Sihong's expression, it shouldn't be the case!

Zhang Nuo released his Divine Sense to probe inside the jade stone coffins, but with his powerful Divine Sense, he was still unable to see what was inside!

"The Human Emperor need not try; these stone coffins are all made of top-grade insulating jade. Even the most powerful Divine Sense cannot see through them! Why doesn't the Human Emperor open them and see for yourself?"

Seeing Zhang Nuo's suspicious look, Wen Sihong began to play coy!

At this moment, Zhang Nuo really couldn't wait any longer. He walked up to a stone coffin, and with a flick of his robe sleeve, the lid of the stone coffin was opened!

As the lid opened, Zhang Nuo saw a face he had seen in his dreams countless times! Her beautiful face was tinged with a faint pallor, her beautiful eyes were tightly closed, and she just lay there quietly!

"Haizhen!"

Zhang Nuo blurted out a name; the person in the coffin was Su Haizhen, whom he missed day and night! However, she seemed to have fallen; she had no breath or heartbeat, but from her skin, she still looked a bit like a living person!

"Fellow Daoist Wen! What is going on?"

Seeing his beloved become like this, Zhang Nuo could no longer suppress the impulse in his heart. He turned around abruptly, and his full Spiritual Pressure poured out, forcing Wen Sihong, who was standing not far away, to retreat several steps!

Wen Sihong, who had been smiling all along, had his expression change in fright, but then he said with a smile:

"Don't be anxious, okay? Listen to me finish!"

Seeing that Zhang Nuo was truly angry, Wen Sihong dared not play coy anymore and pointed to Su Haizhen in the coffin, saying:

"In order to fulfill the promise to the Human Emperor, the Great Accomplishment Stage cultivators of the Sixteen Chambers personally took action to break open a spatial passage to the Human Realm. However, due to the haste, this passage could not last for a very long time, and the spatial storms inside were also very chaotic! For the sake of safety, we had the four of them enter the stone coffins made of insulating jade! These coffins can protect the four of them from being affected by the spatial storms!"

Zhang Nuo had a face full of Evil Qi, and killing intent surged in his eyes. It looked like if Wen Sihong could not give a reasonable explanation, he would even dare to kill the people of the Sixteen Chambers!

"Then how did it become like this?"

"The Human Emperor need not worry. Inside the insulating jade, although the cultivators themselves have lost their breath, after coming into contact with the outside world, everything will return to normal after a period of time!"

Discovering that bloodshot lines were appearing in Zhang Nuo's eyes, Wen Sihong said quickly! Only then did Zhang Nuo improve. He opened the remaining three stone coffins one by one, only to see Ye Yuemiao, Chunyangzi, and Liu Qingshan lying inside respectively. He never expected that Liu Qingshan, who was never highly regarded, had also advanced to the Spirit Severing Stage, while Yang Huzi had accidentally fallen!

"Human Emperor! The matter the Sixteen Chambers promised you has been done; what remains is that other matter!"

Seeing that Zhang Nuo had regained his reason, Wen Sihong walked up to him and said in a low voice.

"I know! After things in the Holy City stabilize, I will immediately begin closed-door cultivation, striving to advance to the Great Accomplishment Stage as soon as possible!"

"That would be best! Since everything is done, Wen will return to the Sixteen Chambers now!"

After saying this, Wen Sihong went straight out of the Human Emperor Hall, and with a few flashes of his figure, he disappeared!

Zhang Nuo lifted the four people out of the stone coffins and sent them to the inner chamber of the Human Emperor Palace. Looking at the four people before him, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart!

A few days later, Ye Yuemiao was the first to wake up. The moment she opened her eyes and saw Zhang Nuo, she was so excited that she almost cried out!

How many years had it been; she finally saw Zhang Nuo again!

"You're awake! How do you feel? Is anything uncomfortable?"

Stepping forward and pulling Ye Yuemiao into his arms, Zhang Nuo asked with concern!

"I'm fine, I'm fine everywhere! I just didn't expect to really see you!"

Quietly feeling Zhang Nuo's warm embrace and recalling everything she had experienced in the Human Realm, Ye Yuemiao felt a sense of satisfaction at this moment!

Before long, Su Haizhen, Chunyangzi, and the others also woke up one after another. Once the four of them saw Zhang Nuo's cultivation level clearly, they all gasped in shock!

Lianxu Chuji! In just a few hundred years, Zhang Nuo had actually reached Lianxu Chuji! It was simply unbelievable!

"Kid Zhang! You... how did you do it?"

"It's a long story. You should rest well first. After your bodies recover, I will tell you in detail!"

Looking at the slightly weary faces of his two Dao companions, Zhang Nuo arranged for all four of them to rest in the Human Emperor Palace!

At the same time, Chunyangzi also learned that Zhang Nuo was the Human Emperor! This surprised him even more! Because Chunyangzi had previously been reborn into the body of an infant, his current appearance was that of a youth in his twenties! Likewise, the appearances of the other three had hardly changed at all!

Zhang Nuo stayed with Ye Yuemiao and Su Haizhen, holding them in his arms as they spoke of the longing they had suffered over these years! When the two women learned of his various experiences after arriving in the Immortal World, they all wore expressions of shock!

"For my husband to survive several great dangers, he can truly be called an extraordinary man! It seems we sisters did not choose the wrong man!"

Su Haizhen smiled happily, a look of bliss appearing on her face!

"Sister Su is right; now that we have reunited with you this time, we shall never be separated again!"

Listening to the words of his two Dao companions, Zhang Nuo's heart sank involuntarily! Things were not as simple as they imagined; the matter of the Demon Beast Tide had been resolved, but behind it, an even greater, heaven-shaking conspiracy was waiting for him! If one were to speak of danger, I fear that all the things he had experienced before would not compare to the crisis coming from the Underworld!
