Chapter 2333: Chapter 2419: Ancestor’s Old Friend

Chen Nan was in Wang Tiancheng, having seen Ziwei Taoist and witnessed his techniques. The Undying Monk’s current strength was clearly beneath Tao Tian of the Holy Demon Race, at most reaching the peak of the Middle Heavenly Position.

He deliberately provoked him, firstly to use him as a shield, and secondly, to learn from his mouth who exactly this high-ranking Ziwei Taoist is.

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Nan spoke, the Undying Monk snorted, "You’re talking about that Taoist? You know we’re stronger than him. Since you know the identities of the four of us, quit joking around. Although the Hundred Clan Domain hides many powerful figures, we’ve recovered quite well. Saying such bravado, do you really think you can scare me?"

Chen Nan inwardly chuckled, knowing that the incident where he used the Three-faced God Puppet to scare away the Undying Monk had already come to his attention.

However, since the monk was unwilling to bring up the matter, he also had no desire to mention it.

"That Taoist is known as Ziwei Taoist. According to predecessors in the Hundred Clan Domain, he appears only once every thousand years, and his Taoist skills are extraordinary."

Chen Nan said indifferently, carefully observing the Undying Monk’s expression.

The monk first furrowed his brows, then suddenly grabbed Chen Nan, "Did you say he calls himself... Ziwei Taoist?"

His eyes darted back and forth, clearly pondering something intensely.

"There’s potential here." Seeing the monk’s expression, Chen Nan thought he might have some guess about Ziwei Taoist’s identity.

As long as there’s a target.

"Ziwei Taoist and I hit it off well; he even helped me teach a senior from the Holy Demon Race a lesson." Chen Nan smiled slyly, "Jie Chen the Monk, do you want to join his sect? He’s presently inside Wangtian City."

This monk had a strange personality, but although Chen Nan’s trick was old, he still didn’t mind using it, hoping to scare with false bravado.

"Ziwei Taoist... Ziwei Taoist!" The Undying Monk muttered, then suddenly raised his head, a fierce flame bursting from his eyes as he grabbed Chen Nan, "You said you’ve met him. What did he speak to you about?"

Little Heavenly Demon saw the monk grab Chen Nan and immediately sprang forward, ready to act.

Chen Nan waved his hand to stop him, "Old Demon, don’t be impulsive."

Chen Nan slowly said, "Jie Chen the Monk, Ziwei Taoist said I have a troubled fate and that my grandmaster, Yuanshi Heavenly Emperor, was a true hero... He also said..."

The monk’s face changed dramatically, "What, your grandmaster is Yuanshi Heavenly Emperor?" His eyes widened, but his hands kept rubbing Buddha Beads, as if he were quite tense inside.

Chen Nan initially planned to extract information about Ziwei Taoist’s identity from him, but didn’t expect him to recognize his grandmaster, Yuanshi Heavenly Emperor.

"Yuanshi Old Man, that person found a passage to and from the Great World back then, coming and going as he pleased. We, the Undying Taoist, Undying Beauty, and Undying Scholar, pleaded with him to take us back to Haotian through a shortcut, but he was stone-hearted. During our times drinking together in the Hundred Clan Domain, he spoke so charmingly but when crucial matters arose, he disregarded those ties completely. It’s funny you’re his disciple, how interesting!"

The monk stared at Chen Nan, his gaze penetrating as if trying to see through something.

"Senior, since you have interacted with my ancestor, could you tell me who exactly is this Ziwei Taoist?"

Chen Nan had always been curious about Ziwei Taoist, as his strength was beyond the scope of the Hundred Clan Domain. But where did he actually come from?

"This... I can’t tell you. Your ancestor, the old stubborn, preferred to resolve himself rather than disclose the passage nodes. Since the Heavenly Punishment War, through numerous years, not even breaking through to Top Supreme could achieve Ascension to the Great World. It’s all fate, my monk life was nearly spent dying in the Hundred Clan Domain. But now, a turning point has finally arrived."

The monk looked towards the Heaven and Earth Shadow Guards.

These two barely escaped death thanks to the monk. Now seeing his gaze, they hurriedly bowed in gratitude.

"Thank you, senior, for saving our lives." The Heaven and Earth Shadow Guards, still injured, hurriedly bowed in thanks.

"Heaven rewards life, and saving you once now requires taking something from you. Surely, you won’t mind, right?"

The monk’s eyes burned as he looked at the two.

Just as they were about to agree, they suddenly sensed something amiss.

Before they could speak, the monk had reached out.

His hands pierced into their Dantians.

When his hands withdrew, two black spheres were in his palms.

"Demon Seeds!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Nan instantly recognized what it was.

The monk clutched two Demon Seeds, while the faces of the Heaven and Earth Shadow Guards contorted in pain, repeatedly grunting.

Their Dantians had been forcibly broken open, causing their cultivation to rapidly decline.

"Senior you..." Had their Dantians not been those of Heavenly Position strong people, their cultivation would have been completely wasted.

"Quickly find somewhere to repair yourselves."

The monk sneered, "You’re from Shadow Pavilion. In this world, paybacks always come. Heaven rewards life, but you have too much blood on your hands. Letting you live is already the utmost mercy."

Ignoring them further, he focused on the Demon Seeds, studying them as the residual black flames rapidly drained away from them.

Seeing this, the monk quickly reached to grab them. The black flames slithered through his fingers, ready to escape into the void. Little Heavenly Demon suddenly opened his mouth and inhaled.

The two clusters of black flames were sucked into his stomach, Little Heavenly Demon burped contentedly and patted his stomach, "Delicious!"

Witnessing this, the monk nearly spat blood. He released Chen Nan, grabbing Little Heavenly Demon, "You wretch, I went through such hardships for these Demon Seeds, yet you... you ate them! Do you know these are one of the keys to reopen the passage between the Outer Domain and the Great World, you fool..."

Little Heavenly Demon rolled his eyes lazily, "Dead monk, let Demon Lord go!"

Completely unafraid, he recklessly would have fought the monk earlier had Chen Nan not stopped him.

"Alright, you Heavenly Demon actually want to fight me, monk? Come then. Monk will send you to the afterlife."

As he spoke, he lifted Buddha Beads, chanting words, and the next moment, golden Sanskrit characters like fiery petals flowed from his mouth.

Within these golden Sanskrit characters resided a very harmonious and righteous aura, creating a golden Buddha in the void. The Buddha raised a hand, striking towards the head of Little Heavenly Demon.

This golden Buddha’s gestures brought calm and harmonious aura, filled with compassion, the salvation of all beings funneling into its form.

"This is the power of the Buddhist Path!" Seeing this, Chen Nan was inwardly shocked.
