"Having cultivated for thousands of years and possessing countless divine abilities, do you think I'm made of clay?!" Dan Fu roared, enraged by Chen Yuan's arrogant words, and let out a cold snort.

He had already shown forbearance at every turn, yet the other party continued to press him relentlessly, so... he had no choice but to fight!

Streams of power of rules gathered around him, the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth rotating endlessly, like a massive shield, enveloping Dan Fu's body.

The overwhelming aura stirred the heavens and the earth, causing the wind and clouds to change, and endless heaven and earth vitality gathered, forming a thousand miles of dark clouds overhead. Below, the calm seawater stirred violently.

It was as if a peerless ferocious beast was about to awaken.

Dan Fu slightly tightened his grip, and an ancient battle blade exuded a murderous aura, engraved with mysterious patterns, that seemed to devour anyone who looked at it.

A celestial weapon!

"Chen Yuan, I am at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm, with the five elements complete, and can even fight a Heaven Immortal. Although you are strong, I may not necessarily be your opponent, so why must you press me so hard?

Why don't we each take a step back? I will never set foot in the Central Plains again, and you... just pretend that the previous offense never happened. What do you say?" Dan Fu said in a deep voice, staring at Chen Yuan.

He was displaying his full power at the moment, but in reality, he was unwilling to fight. This was precisely a sign of his lack of confidence. If Chen Yuan had not been pressing him so hard, he would have preferred to flee this place.

Fighting a Heaven Immortal was naturally a boast.

He knew his own strength well. He could be considered complete, even nearly invincible, in the Earth Immortal realm, but wanting to use that to match a Heaven Immortal was still a bit short.

Because the power of the Heaven Immortal's rules could be considered the power of laws, a qualitative change from the Earth Immortal's five elements rules.

"Lived for thousands of years..." Chen Yuan's gaze was thoughtful. He didn't care about Dan Fu's threat at all, but rather noticed his words about living for thousands of years!

If this was true, then it would be... unbelievable.

The lifespan of an Earth Immortal, at most, was only sixteen or seventeen hundred years, how could he live for thousands of years?

Moreover, this person didn't seem to be from the Immortal Realm. His origins were a bit of a problem.

The inheritance of the Central Plains, no, even the entire human realm, had been somewhat broken. The years more than a thousand years ago were like something that had been deliberately erased.

It was simply difficult to distinguish the facts.

Even he wasn't very clear about it.

And he actually wanted to know the origins of the Immortal Realm. In his opinion, the Immortal Realm should have been established sometime after Emperor Wu ascended.

But he couldn't find out the specifics and could only rely on speculation.

As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. If this person could provide some things that interested him, it wasn't impossible to... let him live a little longer.

Of course, the premise was to show his own strength. Chen Yuan's divine sense moved, and the Martial God rules came out all at once, instantly overwhelming the heavens and the earth, annihilating all of Dan Fu's power.

The vast movement in the void quickly began to disappear, as if in an instant, everything returned to silence.

Dan Fu's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he looked at Chen Yuan in disbelief, exclaiming:

"The unity of inner and outer heaven and earth... It's you?!"

"You recognize the Martial God rules?"

Chen Yuan stared at the other party.

Not many people knew about the Martial God rules, and they were all figures from the last thousand years, deduced from Emperor Taizu of Chu. If this person was really a figure from thousands of years ago.

Wouldn't that mean that there was this path back then?

Of course, it was also possible that this person was just making up words and wasn't a figure from thousands of years ago at all.

"Was it you who took the Eastern Emperor Stele from Dongying back then?!" Dan Fu was filled with shock. He had sensed that person's aura back then, but because of the residual pressure of the Eastern Emperor Stele, he couldn't leave.

But he still remembered that aura.

When he sensed Chen Yuan's aura earlier, he felt a bit familiar, but with a formidable enemy in front of him, he didn't pay too much attention. Now, looking at this power.

He could be sure that it was this person.

And this was precisely what shocked him. In his perception, that person back then didn't seem to be so strong, only just entering the Sixth Realm.

Now, only a short time has passed, and he has already... possessed the strength of a Heaven Immortal!

"Oh, so you were the one suppressed under the Eastern Emperor Stele." Chen Yuan suddenly understood. He was wondering how so many hidden powerhouses could suddenly pop up in this world.

It turned out that he had personally released this person.

What a coincidence.

It was truly a coincidence.

The person he personally released had to be personally suppressed by him.

Everything was destined.

Dan Fu's expression changed several times, and a smile was forced onto his face:

"It turns out that the benefactor that I, Dan, have been looking for is actually the Regent. I... I am truly grateful beyond words for saving me from that dark place.

This is no less than a life-saving grace. If the Regent has any orders, I will definitely do my best."

"Hehe..." Chen Yuan smiled and nodded:

"This is easy to say. Fellow Daoist Dan, just tell me about your origins, and the unity of inner and outer heaven and earth just now, and consider it my reward for saving your life."

The atmosphere that was previously tense and intent on a life-and-death battle quickly dissolved without a trace.

Dan Fu's eyes flickered, and he was silent for a few moments. If possible, he naturally wouldn't reveal his origins, but... the aura just now.

Dan Fu felt that if he made a move, he probably wouldn't live for more than a hundred breaths.

That was the true supreme path.

"My real name is Xu Fu, and I was a great general under Emperor Wu, helping him to open up territories, sweep across the human realm, and suppress the Southern Border Demon Clan, and was named the Eastern Pole Divine General.

But because I only made a small mistake, he used the Eastern Emperor Stele to suppress me in the barbaric land for thousands of years. If it weren't for the Regent's help, I would never have escaped imprisonment in this life.

After coming out, I wanted to benefit the world and apologize to Emperor Wu, but I found that the world had changed drastically. Emperor Wu had long disappeared, and none of my old acquaintances were around anymore.

So, after hearing about the Regent's life deeds, I... boldly offended you. In essence, I actually just wanted to play a joke on the Regent."

"A divine general under Emperor Wu..." Chen Yuan secretly took a breath of cold air.

According to ancient records, it has probably been more than three thousand years since then. This person... is still alive, which is truly unimaginable, as well as the secrets of Emperor Wu...

"I see that fellow Daoist is at the Earth Immortal realm, why are you able to survive for thousands of years?"

Dan Fu continued:

"Emperor Wu had an immortal divine medicine obtained from the depths of the starry sky. Not to mention swallowing it, even smelling it would grant you a hundred years of life. I was also rewarded with a leaf by Emperor Wu because of my outstanding merits. I didn't think it would be so powerful..."

As for the truth, naturally, he stole a leaf of the immortal divine medicine, which was why he was suppressed.

"Immortal divine medicine..."

Chen Yuan's brows twitched slightly. This was the first time he had heard of it. If he could refine the entire plant, wouldn't he truly be able to live forever?

"However, this item is unique to Emperor Wu, and he cherishes it as his life. Now that Emperor Wu's whereabouts are unknown, I don't know where else to find it. I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint the Regent."

Dan Fu really couldn't produce this item and was afraid that Chen Yuan would insist on the immortal divine medicine.

"It's okay, I still have a long lifespan and don't care about this item. Fellow Daoist, continue to talk about things from thousands of years ago. I admire Emperor Wu, who opened up territories for my human race.

It's just that for thousands of years, the human realm has been in constant war, and the inheritance has long been cut off."

Chen Yuan naturally wasn't really not caring, but he also knew the value of this item. Forcing him now probably wouldn't reveal anything.

"Thousands of years ago..." Dan Fu frowned, recalling the past, but it was as if he had forgotten many things, and he couldn't remember clearly. Those memories were all that he had in his impression.

"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint the Regent. I've been trapped for thousands of years, and my memories are chaotic. I don't remember the things from thousands of years ago very clearly. I only know that the Demon Clan was powerful back then.

Demons were everywhere, enslaving the human race and regarding us as blood food. Then Emperor Wu rose from humble beginnings, strengthened the power of our human race, and drove the Demon Clan into the depths of the Southern Border Mountains..."

Dan Fu said intermittently.

"It's a pity, I still wanted to write a biography for Emperor Wu."

"The Regent's kindness, if Emperor Wu were alive, he would definitely be able to form a friendship with the Regent regardless of age."

"What about the so-called unity of inner and outer heaven and earth?"

"This..."

"Fellow Daoist, just say it. It's not easy to meet someone who has existed for thousands of years, I really want to know more things." Chen Yuan had a warm smile on his face.

"This unity of inner and outer heaven and earth is Emperor Wu's way of speaking. Back then, he cultivated both the primordial spirit and the physical body, which is how he obtained extraordinary combat power. We all tried it as well.

It's a pity that no one was able to imitate Emperor Wu."

Chen Yuan nodded. This matter surprised him a bit. It turned out that the Martial God path wasn't unique to Emperor Taizu of Chu. As early as thousands of years ago, someone had walked this path.

"Then do you know what to do when cultivating this path to the Heaven Immortal realm?"

"I don't know, Emperor Wu never instructed us on this."

"In your era, was there an Immortal Realm?"

"Immortal Realm... Are you referring to the Immortal Realm outside the starry sky?" Dan Fu asked solemnly.

"Outside the starry sky?"

Chen Yuan had gained some knowledge today. He didn't expect that there was a so-called Immortal Realm outside the starry sky.

"This matter was mentioned by Emperor Wu. He said that there was an Immortal Realm outside the world, but he didn't know where it was, how strong it was, or what mysteries it held."

"I'm referring to the Immortal Realm in this world."

But Dan Fu chuckled:

"This realm also has an Immortal Realm? I'm afraid... it's just a secret realm cave heaven."

Chen Yuan understood and sorted it out. Before Dan Fu was suppressed, Emperor Wu had not yet ascended to the so-called Immortal Realm outside the world, and the Immortal Realm in this world had not been established either.

It was similar to what he had guessed.

"Have you ever heard of a powerhouse with the Daoist name Taiyin?"

"No, although my memory is a bit vague from the years thousands of years ago, I can be sure that there was no powerhouse with the so-called Daoist name Taiyin.

Unless he wasn't a Sixth Realm immortal."

"Was the Sixth Realm of Heaven opened or sorted out by Emperor Wu?"

"Before me, the path of human cultivation only had three: Houtian, Xiantian, and Zhendan. The Huayang and Lianxu realms above that were the paths that Emperor Wu had cleared.

But..."

"But what?"

"Those of us under Emperor Wu had secretly speculated that Emperor Wu may not have cleared the Martial Path either. He may have obtained some ancient inheritance.

That's why he was so successful..."

"Ancient?"

"There are records of the human race being enslaved for more than thousands of years, but Emperor Wu once revealed a few words that there may have been cultivators in the human race nearly ten thousand years ago."

Chen Yuan listened and nodded constantly, his interest growing stronger and stronger.

Today's harvest was even greater than he had imagined. He thought it was just an unknown powerhouse provoking him, but he didn't expect to have the opportunity to learn about these things.

"I have already truthfully told you my origins, should the Regent... also let me leave?" Dan Fu couldn't help but say, seeing Chen Yuan lost in thought.

"Leave? Where to?"

Chen Yuan turned his mind back and smiled faintly.

"The Regent said before that as long as I reveal my origins..."

"And then what?"

Dan Fu's expression froze. He was only concerned about other things before and didn't seem to have heard Chen Yuan say that he would let him leave. In other words... everything he had done was useless?!

"I am not a threat to the Regent, why... be like this? With the previous kindness, I can even do things for the Regent and be loyal to you from now on.

In the future, I may not be another Emperor Wu."

Dan Fu said in a deep voice.

"You are indeed not a threat to me, but... I can't prove the truth or falsehood of the things you said."

"Then what does the Regent want?"

"Open your mind and let me take a look!"

"You... are being presumptuous... Chen Yuan, do you really think I can only let you manipulate me?" This had definitely touched Dan Fu's bottom line. How important was the spiritual platform? How could it be opened at will?

In this way, wouldn't he be able to detect his killing intent towards him?

For Dan Fu, he was just a tiger fallen on the plains. If he had the chance in the future, he would naturally repay the previous grievances ten or a hundred times.

"Then let's fight and let me see the methods of a divine general under Emperor Wu."

Chen Yuan also wanted to see whether the ancient path was stronger or the modern path was stronger.

"Hmph!"

Dan Fu snorted coldly, seeing that there was no room for maneuver and having been played with, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately made a move. The five elements rules that had been prepared for a long time instantly erupted.

Streams of rules turned into chains, sealing the heavens and the earth, piercing through the void, and directly surged towards Chen Yuan. The powerful power instantly crushed the surrounding void.

Endless void turbulence constantly poured out.

In an instant, the world was turned upside down.

The five elements rules chains firmly suppressed the void. Then, Dan Fu took a step forward, and the terrifying power like mountains of corpses and seas of blood instantly erupted. The battle blade crossed the sky, and the rules condensed.

He slashed out with one blade!

The world was split open, and the area within ten thousand feet around the two of them instantly fell into the void interlayer. That touch of the blade was thousands of feet long, as if it could shatter the heavens and the earth.

It landed in front of Chen Yuan.

But he always looked at Dan Fu with a smile, without any movement.

"Bang!"

The blade landed on Chen Yuan and directly annihilated him.

In a short instant, such a change was terrifying. Dan Fu had almost done his best, first locking the surrounding void so that Chen Yuan could not escape.

Then, he went all out with one blade, pointing directly at his life.

But... Dan Fu, who had shattered Chen Yuan, was not happy as imagined. On the contrary, his expression became more solemn, and he looked around, wanting to find Chen Yuan's trace.

He didn't believe that Chen Yuan, who had the strength of a Heaven Immortal, would be so vulnerable.

Currently, it could only prove one thing, that Chen Yuan had already disappeared the moment he made a move, and he didn't have the slightest perception!

The gap was... too big.

It was even more terrifying than he had imagined!

"Chen Yuan, come out, what do I have to fear!"

Xu Fu's eyes flashed with red light, and he was a little crazy, as if he wanted to kill everything in front of him. The power of the rules around him continued to erupt, bombarding in all directions again and again.

The void was a little unstable from the beating.

Chen Yuan even felt that if he was a little stronger, it was not impossible to shatter the void barrier and enter the starry sky. If he had not broken through, it would have been a bit difficult to take down this person.

It lasted for a full quarter of an hour before Dan Fu stopped, scanning the surroundings with gloomy eyes, searching for where Chen Yuan's trace was hidden.

"Hehehe... Not bad, not bad..." Within the void turbulence, a faint voice echoed from all directions, as if surrounding him.

A faint phantom condensed in front of Dan Fu, a thousand feet directly in front of him, standing with his hands behind his back, looking at him.

"Found you!"

A gleam of light flashed in Dan Fu's eyes. The next moment, the power of the rules he had bombarded out before instantly re-condensed, turning into a giant net covering the sky.

It fell directly!

However, Dan Fu's carefully arranged methods stopped a hundred feet in front of Chen Yuan and could not move at all, as if there was an invisible barrier blocking everything.

"Not enough!"

Chen Yuan took a step forward, and the violent Martial God rules instantly poured out, shattering the falling giant net inch by inch. Every step he took, the other party collapsed a little.

Until everything was broken.

Dan Fu roared angrily, his figure flowing, as if crossing space, and the ancient battle blade went straight out, stabbing towards Chen Yuan. Extremely dangerous rule power surged on the tip of the blade.

Chen Yuan then pointed out a finger, and the Martial God rules condensed on one point, hitting the tip of the blade.

At this moment, everything in the world seemed to be frozen in place.

But the reaction between them was vastly different. Chen Yuan was calm and composed, while Dan Fu's expression was extremely horrified. All the power erupted, and he couldn't make Chen Yuan take a step back.

On the other hand, he couldn't resist it anymore.

"Boom!"

The sound of explosion exploded in the void, endless turbulence annihilated, and Dan Fu retreated thousands of feet.

Of course, Chen Yuan seemed to be strolling leisurely, but in fact, that finger point also used most of his power.

Dan Fu, who was retreating rapidly, did not rush up again, but used this force to turn around and leave directly. However, he ran into a wall again when he wanted to tear the void.

The surroundings had been locked by the Martial God rules.

"Go!"

Chen Yuan's divine sense moved, and a black streamer instantly condensed between heaven and earth, which was the God-Slaying Spear. All the power gathered on it, exuding a terrifying pressure.

It locked onto Dan Fu's aura.

When the divine spear came out, the world moved.

In an instant, Dan Fu sensed an extremely dangerous aura coming from the bottom of his heart. Without hesitation, he also threw out his immortal blade to compete with it.

Boom!

Crack—

The two collided together, and tens of thousands of feet of void shook, turning into a vacuum. Under the interweaving of rules, Dan Fu's battle blade also began to crumble inch by inch.

His face flashed with despair and madness, roaring and tearing his clothes, directly starting to burn his origin!
