Chapter 644: Returning to the Immortal Domain

Two late Void Refinement Stage cultivators were killed in the Demon Realm, an incident that caused a huge uproar. Numerous demon cultivators speculated one after another as to who had taken action! However, there was ultimately no result! The person who took action handled the matter very cleanly, leaving behind almost no traces at all!

Yet Lv Yuansheng and Baji Laomo knew clearly in their hearts that the person who killed Gong Can and Xiao Mo must be Zhang Nuo! Regarding the matter in Tianmo City back then, if Gong Can had just let it go, it would not have invited such a fatal disaster. With Zhang Nuo's divine abilities, let alone the two of them joining forces, even if another Void Refinement Stage powerhouse were added, it would likely be of no avail!

It was just that Baji and the others did not spread the word; they were content to just know it in their own hearts!

On this day, on a certain wasteland in the Demon Realm, Zhang Nuo looked up at the faint crack in the void and let out a long breath in his heart!

After spending several years, he had finally returned to the place where he had originally entered the Demon Realm; that space crack was precisely the one Jiufang Yi had forcibly torn open for him!

Recalling this trip to the Demon Realm, there were finally some gains, especially on the road back here, where he was intercepted and killed by Gong Can and Xiao Mo. Zhang Nuo, with his own strength, killed the two great cultivators and simultaneously obtained quite a few benefits from them!

Steadying his mind, he took one last look at the Demon Realm, patted his crown with one hand, and a Golden Light flew out from within, immediately landing on his body and transforming into a shimmering suit of armor! This armor was precisely that Heavenly Demon God Armor!

Within a space passage, anything could happen, so Zhang Nuo did not dare to be careless and immediately put on this precious armor! Following that, his figure flashed, and he flew into the space crack!

Several years later, on the outskirts of the Immortal Domain, in the Wilderness, several Spirit Severing Stage cultivators were surrounding and killing a Nine-Tier demonic beast! With various Magic Treasures flying about, they were locked in an inextricable battle with the demonic beast for a time!

Because demon cultivators were already living together with human cultivators, there was also a demon cultivator participating in this operation! After more than half an hour, that Nine-Tier demonic beast was finally killed by the few of them. Just as everyone was about to decompose the materials on the demonic beast, a shocking rainbow suddenly rushed toward them from the depths of the Wilderness!

Upon seeing this, the expressions of the few changed instantly! It was not hard to tell from the escape light that the person coming was a cultivator with profound cultivation, at the very least an old monster of the Void Refinement Stage!

They looked at each other, deeply afraid that the high-level cultivator would snatch away the demonic beast they had just killed! After a few flashes, the shocking rainbow arrived above the few of them. The escape light converged, revealing a man in green robes! He was in his twenties, and standing in the air, he possessed the majesty of a hundred paces before and behind him!

This aura alone was already more than the few below could bear! The person who arrived was Zhang Nuo. Due to some small accidents while in the space crack, the place where he emerged had a large discrepancy from the pre-set location!

After flying in the Wilderness for several years, he had only just seen the shadow of a wave of human cultivators!

"What place is this? How far is it from the Human Emperor Realm?"

Zhang Nuo's voice rang out faintly as he scanned the few people below!

"Replying to the Senior, it is about twenty-some years of travel from here to the Human Emperor Realm!"

A middle-aged man wearing a pale green robe stepped forward and said very respectfully.

Zhang Nuo lowered his head and thought for a moment. Twenty-some years of time might be for these Spirit Severing Stage cultivators, but if it were at his escape speed, he could reach the Human Emperor Realm in no more than eight years!

Nodding slightly, Zhang Nuo did not delay any time and transformed into an escape light, disappearing once again at the end of the horizon! Seeing Zhang Nuo leave, the few of them all let out long breaths!

"This senior seems to be a human cultivator; his cultivation is so high, it is truly the only time I have seen such in my life!"

A seductive young woman said, looking in the direction where Zhang Nuo had disappeared.

"Sigh! Regardless, as long as he didn't have the heart to kill us, that's fine!"

The man who had spoken before reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead! At this moment, an old man standing among the few frowned tightly, and suddenly, as if he had remembered something, he hurriedly said repeatedly:

"He is the Human Emperor! He is the Human Emperor of the Human Emperor Realm, Zhang Nuo!"

Once these words were spoken, everyone's gaze turned toward the old man!

"Fellow Daoist Wang, are you that certain?"

"There can be no mistake! Back then, this old man once caught a glimpse of him in the Holy City. I didn't expect that after more than a hundred years, his appearance hasn't changed at all! No wonder this senior looked so familiar!"

The few were speechless for a while; they hadn't expected that they had just had a meeting with the Human Emperor!

More than ten years later, at the city gate of Wushuang Shenghuang City, two low-level cultivators were lazily standing guard! At this time, an escape light arrived at the city gate!

Almost ignoring the two gatekeepers, he walked straight into the Holy City!

"Stop! Who goes there? Don't you know the rules of the Holy City?"

Although they sensed that the person's cultivation was not weak, the two gatekeepers still shouted loudly! The current Wushuang Shenghuang City was long since incomparable to what it was back then; there were many high-level cultivators in the city. As long as Vice City Lord Ai Yuchen spoke a word, if you were a dragon you had to coil, and if you were a tiger you had to lie down!

The cultivator who had walked into the city before stopped his figure abruptly. Just by looking back at the two gatekeepers, it immediately caused the two of them to change color, so scared that their legs went soft!

"Lord Human Emperor! Juniors... did not know it was you!"

The person who had been shouting before immediately said tremblingly. Zhang Nuo did not pay them any mind and continued walking toward the direction of the Human Emperor Palace!

Once he returned to the Human Emperor Palace, Su Haizhen and the others surrounded Zhang Nuo all at once!

"You liar, didn't you say you would be back in a few decades? This trip took another hundred-plus years!"

Su Haizhen grabbed Zhang Nuo's clothes, looking like a shrew, and said bitterly! Zhang Nuo was speechless for a while; with so many people present, his Dao companion was really not giving him any face!

Chunyangzi, Ai Yuchen, and the others all covered their mouths and chuckled!

"Haizhen! Didn't I have Fellow Daoist Beigong pass a message to you all? There was a reason for the matter; it was too urgent, and I simply didn't have time to tell you personally!"

Zhang Nuo said a pile of nice words before Su Haizhen finally let go of him, still not satisfied! After things quieted down, everyone began to ask about Zhang Nuo's whereabouts over these years.

After hearing Zhang Nuo's account, everyone looked at him in astonishment! Not seen for over a hundred years, Zhang Nuo had actually advanced again. That was secondary; he had actually obtained the Yin and Yang Qi. This matter was no small thing; for any cultivator, this Yin and Yang Qi possessed the power to turn decay into magic!

Everyone chatted until late at night before dispersing!

In a cozy room, Zhang Nuo held his two Dao companions in his arms and told them of the longing and suffering of these years! The soft candlelight made the room become somewhat ambiguous!

"Are you leaving again after coming back this time?"

Ye Yuemiao leaned gently on Zhang Nuo's shoulder and said softly!

"I won't be leaving for the time being! I will probably stay in the Human Emperor Palace for a hundred years. After I refine the 'Wuji Earth' and 'Nirvana Divine Water' into Spirit Roots, I will stabilize my late-stage cultivation, and then find a way to break through to the Great Accomplishment Stage!"

Zhang Nuo spoke simply of his plans, and the two women finally felt at ease! A hundred years of time was already long enough for them!

The next morning, Zhang Nuo began to ask Ai Yuchen about the things that had happened in the Holy City over these years! After having a clear understanding, Zhang Nuo went to see Chunyangzi and Liu Qingshan! Over the hundred years, due to sufficient Pills, these two had also successfully advanced to the late Spirit Severing Stage!

During this period of advancement, they had eaten so many heavenly treasures that even they themselves could not count them! Finally, Zhang Nuo warned them that once they reached the Integration Stage, they could no longer forcibly rely on Pills to improve their cultivation!

Because the dependence on Pills was very strong, and if a cultivator relied on taking Pills to improve cultivation for a long time, the body would easily develop drug resistance. If they still used Pills to stimulate cultivation after reaching the Integration Stage, it would be very difficult to advance to the Refining Void Stage!

On this point, Chunyangzi and the other understood, but in order to shake off the shackles of their lifespan, they had no choice but to resort to this inferior strategy!

After guiding Su Haizhen and Ye Yuemiao for a period of time, Zhang Nuo officially entered seclusion! This seclusion was mainly to refine the Earth Spirit Root and Water Spirit Root!

Forty years later, Zhang Nuo came out of seclusion. At this time, the Wuji Earth and Nirvana Divine Water had already become his Spirit Roots! Feeling that his cultivation had made great progress, his realm was pressing directly toward the existence of the Great Accomplishment Stage!

However, he did not know where it was lacking just a little bit, as he was unable to officially step into the realm of the Great Accomplishment Stage! During these forty years, Chunyangzi and Liu Qingshan had successively advanced to the Integration Stage. As for Su Haizhen and Ye Yuemiao, because they did not dare to use Pills to accelerate their cultivation, they still remained at the late Spirit Severing Stage!

Seeing that Chunyangzi and Liu Qingshan had both entered the Integration Stage, Ai Yuchen immediately proposed to hand over the position of Vice City Lord. This woman had made many sacrifices for the Holy City over these years, and her cultivation had been stagnant!

Zhang Nuo naturally did not object and immediately made the decision for Liu Qingshan and Chunyangzi to serve as Vice City Lords. As soon as this decision was announced, there was a huge reaction in the Holy City, but since these were candidates appointed by Zhang Nuo himself, even if there were those who objected, they did not dare to make trouble!

Having spent several decades comfortably in the Human Emperor Palace, Zhang Nuo saw that the positions of Liu Qingshan and Chunyangzi were already stable, and only then did he want to go into seclusion again!

But on this very day, as Zhang Nuo sat in the Human Emperor Hall discussing matters with a few people, a reporting cultivator ran in!

"Lord Human Emperor! Two demon cultivators are outside asking to see you, saying they are your friends!"

Zhang Nuo rolled his eyes; among demon cultivators, he had very few friends, so who could be coming to find him this time? After thinking for a moment, Zhang Nuo still let them in!

When he saw the two demon cultivators, a smile appeared on Zhang Nuo's face; the visitors were none other than Huo Lifeng and Baijiaowang!

Ever since the Demon Realm was destroyed, these two had been wandering within the Immortal Domain, and unexpectedly, they had arrived at Wushuang Shenghuang City on this day!
