Chapter 1
　　Luan Xing Hai (Chaotic Star Sea).

　　A gathering place for pirates, thugs, assassins, Xinghai (Star Sea) mercenaries, escorts, and heretics from various races in the universe, it is the most chaotic and dark place in the Jiushan Shiba Hai (Nine Mountains and Eighteen Seas).

　　Here, strength is the only order, and cultivation level represents the right to speak.

　　But in recent years, Luan Xing Hai (Chaotic Star Sea) has become even more chaotic.

　　"Xiu~"

　　A luxurious airship traversed the void, its entire body glowing with golden light, noble and grand. It flew across the sea, passed the pier of Qingzhou Sanfei (Three Bandits of Qingzhou) Ancient City, and entered the city.

　　The city gate guard glanced at it with envy, without stopping it. He lowered his head to look at the people queuing in front of him, and shouted fiercely that entering the city required an entrance fee of five Hai Yuan Stones per person...

　　"We're here. Let's find an inn to rest, then go find Vice Sect Master Wu."

　　The luxurious airship landed in front of an inn in the city.

　　The airship opened, and hundreds of people walked out, each with soaring demon qi, powerful blood energy, and sharp eyes scanning all directions. They were all demon race experts with profound strength.

　　The two leading figures were talking, their aura dignified, wearing purple-gold robes. Judging by their appearance, they were Wan Yao Men (Ten Thousand Demons Sect) Sect Master Long Gui (Dragon Turtle) and Vice Sect Master Long Chen (Dragon Dust).

　　More than three hundred years have passed. Long Gui (Dragon Turtle), the Sect Master, had a much stronger cultivation aura, reaching the late stage of the Divine Power Realm. His Daoist robe made him look like someone from the Daoist sect, yet he exuded demonic qi.

　　And Long Chen (Dragon Dust) beside him had an even more terrifying aura. His cultivation had already reached the late-stage peak of the Divine Power Realm for many years. Between the opening and closing of his eyes, it was as if lightning flashed. The dragon might on his body was very strong.

　　People on the surrounding streets peeked curiously. He turned his head and only glanced at one person, and that person suddenly fell to the ground, his life or death unknown.

　　The surrounding people were horrified and dared not look again.

　　"Vice Sect Master, quickly, come in and have a seat." Sect Master Long Gui (Dragon Turtle) next to him said with a smile, his eyes filled with awe. Those who didn't know would have thought Long Chen (Dragon Dust) was the Sect Master and he was the Vice Sect Master.

　　"Okay!"

　　Long Chen (Dragon Dust) responded faintly, took the first step and walked into the inn. Long Gui (Dragon Turtle) followed behind, and the other Wan Yao Men (Ten Thousand Demons Sect) experts filed in one after another, with some guarding the perimeter.

　　Fu Lai Inn.

　　When the waiter saw that Long Chen (Dragon Dust) and Long Gui (Dragon Turtle) were dressed extraordinarily and had powerful auras, he knew that distinguished guests had arrived. He hurriedly led the two upstairs to a private room and served a table of fine wine and food.

　　In the next room, people were talking. The sound insulation restriction was not activated, and the sound came out...

　　"I heard that some Divine Power Realm experts have gone missing again recently, and their whereabouts are unknown!"

　　"Yes, the ancestor of the He Clan, the Blood Hand Bandit, and the island owner of Ku Shi Island are all Divine Power Realm late-stage experts who have been famous for many years, but they have also disappeared."

　　"Alas, Luan Xing Hai (Chaotic Star Sea) is really getting more and more chaotic."

　　Long Chen (Dragon Dust) listened to the conversation in the next room, feeling curious, and asked the waiter beside him.

　　The waiter saw that Long Chen (Dragon Dust) was dressed extraordinarily and was a big shot, so he didn't dare to offend him and immediately told him everything about the situation in Luan Xing Hai (Chaotic Star Sea).

　　It turned out that in recent years, some Divine Power Realm experts who had been famous for many years had disappeared one after another, their whereabouts unknown, including the ancestor of a certain clan, a fierce pirate, and some assassin escorts.

　　The missing personnel were not fixed, and there was no pattern, but their cultivation levels were all above the Divine Power Realm, and the number reached thousands.

　　The number of top experts in Luan Xing Hai (Chaotic Star Sea) dropped sharply.

　　Divine Power Realm experts were all in danger. Many ancestors and bandits were shrinking at home, living year after year. ….The waiter opened the chatterbox, his saliva flying everywhere, and said, "Some people say that a certain old demon is using Divine Power Realm experts to practice magic, and some people say that the head of the evil god that disappeared from the Demon Suppressing Tower back then has been reborn, secretly devouring Divine Power Realm experts."

　　"Some people even say that these missing Divine Power Realm experts are not dead, but are trapped in a certain place and cannot return."

　　"This statement has been recognized by many people, and even the result of the deduction by the Fortune Teller is the same. Of course, I also think so."

　　Blah blah blah!

　　The waiter hadn't finished speaking, but Long Chen (Dragon Dust) had already obtained the information he wanted and turned around to enter the room.

　　A strong man guarding the door threw a bag of Hai Yuan Stones to the waiter.

　　"This is a reward for you. Don't come to disturb me without my orders."

　　He was Jiuwei Qingniu (Nine-Tailed Green Bull), Long Chen's (Dragon Dust) confidant.

　　He followed Long Chen (Dragon Dust) when he was in Xichuan Town. Now he has transformed into a human form and continues to follow Long Chen (Dragon Dust), loyal and devoted. Long Chen (Dragon Dust) has not treated his brothers badly. Jiuwei Qingniu (Nine-Tailed Green Bull) is an example. After being rewarded with a lot of resources by Long Chen (Dragon Dust), he broke through to the early stage of the Divine Power Realm.

　　"Thank you, Senior, I understand."

　　The waiter happily retreated with the money bag.

　　In the room.

　　Long Chen (Dragon Dust) and Long Gui (Dragon Turtle) were drinking, the dishes on the table smelled fragrant, but neither of them took a bite. Their eyes were full of desolation and melancholy, and a bit of embarrassment and helplessness.

　　"Luan Xing Hai (Chaotic Star Sea) is really chaotic. Divine Power Realm experts can also disappear!" Sect Master Long Gui (Dragon Turtle) sighed.

　　"But that's other people's business, and we're not doing well ourselves. Think about how glorious we were in Wan Yao Men (Ten Thousand Demons Sect). Who in the Southern Wilderness dared not respect us? Now we've become wanted criminals, hunted down by demon race experts. It's really the trick of fate!"

　　Long Gui (Dragon Turtle) looked sad and rubbed his Daoist robe.

　　Long Chen (Dragon Dust) said, "Isn't this all your fault? Three hundred years ago, you tricked me and Wu Zhan onto your pirate ship, saying that we would rescue the demon race senior in the Demon Suppressing Tower together, but you secretly informed the human race."

　　"Now, the Demon Suppressing Tower has been unsealed, and the demon race experts have returned to the Southern Wilderness. Those human race great sects that you relied on don't care anymore, and let us live or die on our own. Who can we blame?"

　　Long Gui (Dragon Turtle) said with some grievance and anger, "What's wrong with me? If I hadn't done that back then, could our Wan Yao Men (Ten Thousand Demons Sect) have been rich for three hundred years?"

　　"Where did those resources and those cultivation treasures come from? How could you and Wu Zhan have been able to improve your cultivation so rapidly and become Divine Power Realm late-stage peak experts?"

　　Long Chen (Dragon Dust) sighed upon hearing this, a smile appeared on his face. He poured a glass of wine for Long Gui (Dragon Turtle) and said, "Sect Master, don't be angry. Although your actions were despicable back then, at least our cultivation levels have been improved and we have obtained enough benefits."

　　Long Gui (Dragon Turtle) then looked a little better, raised his glass and drank a cup with Long Chen (Dragon Dust).

　　Now it is the road to escape, and he still has to rely heavily on Long Chen (Dragon Dust), a powerful Divine Power Realm late-stage expert.

　　On the way from the Southern Wilderness to Luan Xing Hai (Chaotic Star Sea), they encountered many ambushes, and Long Chen (Dragon Dust) killed the strong enemies and led them to successfully break through and survive.

　　The divine dragon bloodline is indeed powerful.

　　"Cheers~"

　　The two drank another cup.

　　The wine was the dry Haiquan Wine, a special product of Luan Xing Hai (Chaotic Star Sea), with a slight seawater-like fishy smell. Long Chen (Dragon Dust) smacked his lips, a little unaccustomed to it. "We came here to seek refuge and escape, so we have to keep a low profile."...."This Qingzhou Sanfei (Three Bandits of Qingzhou) City is not famous in Luan Xing Hai (Chaotic Star Sea), but since Wu Zhan introduced us to meet here, this place must not be simple."

　　Long Chen (Dragon Dust) analyzed, his eyes shining brightly.

　　Long Gui (Dragon Turtle) nodded, his face full of hope. "I hope Vice Sect Master Wu can arrange a good place for us. Luan Xing Hai (Chaotic Star Sea) is so big. As long as we hide for a few hundred years, when you break through and advance to Celestial God, we will kill our way back to the Southern Wilderness and rebuild Wan Yao Men (Ten Thousand Demons Sect)."

　　"Advance to Celestial God..." A light flashed in Long Chen's (Dragon Dust) eyes, but then dimmed.

　　This realm is too difficult.

　　Since ancient times, countless Divine Power Realm late-stage experts have been stuck in this realm. Even if he has the divine dragon bloodline and has obtained the inheritance of the Great One, he still has no clue about breaking through the bottleneck and advancing to Celestial God.

Chapter 2

　　"I wonder how Wu Zhan is doing. Has he broken through yet... He shouldn't have. This guy is a loner and rarely interacts with people. I don't know what he's been busy with all these years. He's so mysterious."

　　Long Chen (Dragon Dust) thought of Wu Zhan, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile.

　　In the vast universe of stars, only Wu Zhan could talk to him without any reservations. His group of younger brothers are all loyal to him, respectful but not intimate enough.

　　Only Wu Zhan, this fellow villager from Xichuan Town, always speaks frankly when facing him, saying whatever he wants to say, and even scolding him when he's unhappy.

　　"Hehe, this guy..."

　　When Long Chen (Dragon Dust) thought of this, he couldn't help but laugh. After so many years, he had already regarded Wu Zhan as a friend. At this moment, when he thought of the other party, a wave of longing suddenly arose in his heart.

　　Opposite him, Long Gui (Dragon Turtle) watched Long Chen (Dragon Dust) sitting there and giggling foolishly. He curled his lips, drank a glass of wine on his own, and muttered in a low voice, "Drinking my wine and thinking about other wild men, sigh..."

　　Just as the two were lost in their own thoughts, Jiuwei Qingniu (Nine-Tailed Green Bull), who was guarding outside, reported, "Brother, Wu Zhan is here!"

　　Long Chen (Dragon Dust) jumped up, his clothes knocked over the wine glass, but he didn't care. He walked out of the room with a face full of joy and excitement. At the entrance of the stairs, a young man with golden hair was striding upstairs.

　　He seemed to have no cultivation, walking very quietly, wearing a gray robe.

　　After so many years, time has not left any traces on him, but he has lost a lot of youthful impetuosity. The whole person has become as deep as the sea, but it seems that a storm will break out at any time.

　　He was followed by a woman. The woman's appearance was not very beautiful, but her temperament was quiet, giving people a feeling of being from a humble family. Her arm was挽着 Wu Zhan, and her face was full of happy smiles.

　　"Long Chen (Dragon Dust)!"

　　Wu Zhan took the initiative to greet him and introduced the woman next to him, "This is my old friend from my hometown, his name is Long Chen (Dragon Dust)."

　　Then he introduced to Long Chen (Dragon Dust), who had a somewhat dazed and doubtful expression, "This is my Dao companion, Zhang Xiaoyu."

　　Long Chen (Dragon Dust) blinked. After not seeing him for a while, Wu Zhan even had a Dao companion. This guy is inherently lonely, a loner, and doesn't believe in anyone. He actually has a Dao companion?!

　　But he quickly reacted and smiled politely and cupped his hands at Zhang Xiaoyu, "So it's Sister-in-law. Long Chen (Dragon Dust) pays his respects to Sister-in-law!"

　　Zhang Xiaoyu hurriedly returned the greeting with a smile, "I've always heard Wu Zhan mention that he has an old friend who is dignified, handsome, highly cultivated, righteous, and emotional. Now that I see him today, he truly lives up to his reputation."

　　Long Chen's (Dragon Dust) eyes lit up, and he glanced at Wu Zhan in surprise.

　　My evaluation in this cold, wooden-headed guy's heart is actually so high?!

　　He was immediately filled with joy and felt that Wu Zhan was loyal and a true brother. He is indeed a good friend that I, Long Chen (Dragon Dust), have known for many years!

　　"Come, Wu Zhan, Sister-in-law, please come in quickly." Long Chen (Dragon Dust) said enthusiastically, instantly turning into a different person, causing Jiuwei Qingniu (Nine-Tailed Green Bull) and Long Gui (Dragon Turtle) to blink in confusion.

　　Wu Zhan waved his hand and said, "I won't eat here. There are too many people here. Follow me. I have a good place there."

　　"Okay!" Long Chen (Dragon Dust) responded cheerfully. He and Long Gui (Dragon Turtle) immediately led a group of Wan Yao Men (Ten Thousand Demons Sect) experts and followed Wu Zhan into the depths of the city.

　　Along the way.

　　Wu Zhan didn't speak, still as cold as before, but Long Chen (Dragon Dust) was very happy and talkative. He also asked with a smile if there were any little Wu Zhans.

　　Wu Zhan's expression was displeased, and Zhang Xiaoyu next to him said in a low voice, "Long Brother, you don't know, I'm remarried and have a child, eight grandchildren, and fifty-two great-grandchildren."

　　"Ah?!"

　　Long Chen (Dragon Dust) was so shocked that his eyeballs almost fell out. Wu Zhan actually likes this kind of taste?

　　He was covered in cold sweat and felt like he was meeting Wu Zhan for the first time.

　　What is this guy thinking? Why did he find such a Dao companion?

　　Zhang Xiaoyu glanced at Wu Zhan, her eyes full of love. "Wu Zhan doesn't dislike me. He treats me very well, and I love him very much. When my father comes in a few days, I will introduce him to my father."

　　Long Chen (Dragon Dust) smiled, a very awkward smile. He really didn't know how to express his feelings at this moment.

　　Why would a dignified犰狳 bloodline, and a Divine Power Realm late-stage expert, find a remarried woman as a Dao companion?!

　　"Wait, Wu Zhan's cultivation..."

　　Long Chen (Dragon Dust) suddenly noticed that he didn't seem to sense Wu Zhan's cultivation aura from head to toe.

　　He hurriedly released his divine soul and carefully sensed Wu Zhan's aura fluctuations. However, what shocked and surprised him was that Wu Zhan's aura was the same as that of a mortal. He couldn't see any characteristics of a cultivator, and his blood energy was also very ordinary.

　　But is this possible?

　　If Wu Zhan was a mortal, he would have died long ago. How could he still be alive?

　　"Wu Zhan, your cultivation..." Long Chen (Dragon Dust) asked. Long Gui (Dragon Turtle) next to him also looked over curiously, and he also felt that Wu Zhan was very strange.

　　Wu Zhan paused slightly and pursed his lips. "I was lucky enough to break through ten years ago. Now, I'm at the early stage of the Celestial God Realm. Sigh, cultivation is really difficult!"

　　After saying this, he ignored the already stunned Long Chen (Dragon Dust) and sighed for a long time. This sentence was a critical hit!

　　Long Chen (Dragon Dust) was struck by lightning and stared at Wu Zhan with disbelief.

　　This guy actually broke through?!

　　He became a Celestial God giant before him?!

　　He came to Jiushan Shiba Hai (Nine Mountains and Eighteen Seas) with him. After so many years, he couldn't break through the bottleneck. He also knew how difficult this step was, but as long as he crossed this step, he would be in two different worlds from now on.

　　When he speaks to Wu Zhan in the future, he will have to respectfully call him "Senior."

　　At this moment, Long Chen's (Dragon Dust) mind was in a mess, and he followed Wu Zhan through the streets like he had lost his soul.

　　Beside him, Long Gui (Dragon Turtle) was flushed with excitement.

　　Does our Wan Yao Men (Ten Thousand Demons Sect) finally have a Celestial God Realm giant? Can we finally suppress the Southern Wilderness? Can we finally become a well-deserved great sect and ancient land?

　　He excitedly moved closer to Wu Zhan, bowing and saying with some flattery and awe, "Wu Zhan... Oh no, Senior Wu, may I ask if we will kill our way back to the Southern Wilderness tomorrow?"

　　He couldn't wait any longer.

　　However, Wu Zhan said coldly, "Not interested!"

　　Long Gui (Dragon Turtle): "......"

　　His face changed for a while, but he still followed with a flattering smile, believing that as long as he kept persuading, Wu Zhan would definitely kill his way back to the Southern Wilderness and rebuild Wan Yao Men (Ten Thousand Demons Sect).

　　Walking along the way, they soon arrived at a dark underground palace.

　　Long Chen (Dragon Dust) came back to his senses and was shocked to find that this place was densely covered with restriction runes. Many creatures were lying on the ground, as if they were asleep. Each of them had a powerful aura and were all Divine Power Realm existences.

　　The auras of a few creatures were particularly terrifying, not weaker than his own, but they were all unconscious.

　　"Wu Zhan, what is this?..." Long Chen (Dragon Dust) asked in confusion.

　　Wu Zhan grinned, suddenly raised his hand and sent out a palm strike. Brilliant restriction runes flew out from his palm and landed on Long Chen (Dragon Dust), Long Gui (Dragon Turtle), and the group of Wan Yao Men (Ten Thousand Demons Sect) experts behind them.

　　In an instant.

　　Everyone realized that their cultivation levels had been restricted.

　　"You... Wu Zhan, what are you doing?"

　　Long Chen (Dragon Dust) asked in shock and anger.

　　Wu Zhan didn't speak, but a burst of applause and laughter came from the entrance of the underground palace.

　　"Hahaha, as expected of Senior Wu, you are really amazing. It's only been less than an incense stick of time since you went out, and you've captured so many big fish. This efficiency is much higher than ours from the Three Bandits of Qingzhou (Qingzhou Sanfei). I admire you, I admire you!"

　　It was Zhao Qishan's voice.

　　He had a smiling face, and beside him were Wu Daogu and the old monk Jiemie. The three of them looked at Long Chen (Dragon Dust) and the others with eyes full of light, as if they were looking at goods.

　　"One, two, three... two hundred and eight! A total of two hundred and eight Divine Power Realm experts. Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of Wan Yao Men (Ten Thousand Demons Sect), they are indeed powerful!"

　　Zhao Qishan laughed, "Adding the guys in the underground palace, it's exactly one thousand, plus the five Celestial Gods suppressed in the dungeon, all complete!"

　　He turned to look at Wu Zhan, bowed and saluted, "Senior Wu, is it time to send a message to that Great One in the River of Time and Space, telling him that the goods are ready and can be inspected!"
