Immortal of the Nine Realms

Glancing at Stone Dragon, Xing Xian said, ”Monarch Yan, what Tai Yin Dragon King said is true. His strength in the Mortal Realm was already impressive. The resources he controlled could be beneficial to you now.”

”Let’s meet him,” said Fang Chen.

He stood up and walked toward the front hall.

Stone Dragon and Xing Xian immediately followed.

After a while, Tai Yin Dragon King saw Stone Dragon walking out from behind a young man. He didn’t dare look too closely, cupping his hands in respect. ”I pay my respects to you, Monarch Yan!”

Stone Dragon was a powerful expert. If even he was walking a few steps behind this young man, then he had to be the newly appointed Monarch Yan.

Monarch Pan Shan couldn’t help but glance at Fang Chen a few more times, astonished.

He found the newly appointed Monarch Yan too young. Furthermore, his cultivation seemed... rather ordinary.

Fang Chen looked at Tai Yin Dragon King and then turned to the Empress, smiling. ”Empress Ci, don’t you mind that he once humiliated you by hanging you outside Jiangguang City?”

Tai Yin Dragon King’s heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly looked at the empress.

The empress replied respectfully, ”Monarch Yan, if it weren’t for what this man did, I wouldn’t have become a Night Walker. I do mind, but he has already promised to owe me a favor, so we’ll leave it at that.”

Tai Yin Dragon King sighed with relief. Empress Ci was straightforward and didn’t obstruct him. He couldn’t help but feel grateful toward her.

Fang Chen nodded slightly and turned to Tai Yin Dragon King. ”Do you know that once you take an official position, you will no longer be in control of your own body, and even your life and death will not be yours to decide?”

Tai Yin Dragon King nodded heavily. ”I understand, but if I can return to the Mortal Realm, it will be worth it.”

Fang Chen smiled. ”You have enemies in the mortal realm.”

Tai Yin Dragon King grew silent. After a moment, he nodded. ”Indeed...”

Fang Chen turned to Monarch Pan Shan. ”Then what about him?”

Tai Yin Dragon King was slightly startled, then quickly said, ”Reporting to Monarch Yan, he is just my dragon servant. If you find him annoying, I can have him leave immediately.”

Monarch Pan Shan didn’t say a word, as if he were used to it.

”I don’t find him annoying at all. In fact, I find him more agreeable than you,” Fang Chen said.

Empress Ci also let out a light laugh. ”Monarch Yan and I think alike. I find him more agreeable as well.”

Tai Yin Dragon King was slightly taken aback and quickly forced a smile. ”Yes, yes, I agree.”

Fang Chen asked, ”Do you have Yin Lifespan Coins on you?”

Tai Yin Dragon King was immediately stunned. Yin Lifespan Coins?

The empress’s face darkened. ”Tai Yin Dragon King, how could you be so ignorant at such a critical moment?”

Breaking out of his stupor, Tai Yin Dragon King gritted his teeth and took out all of his Yin Lifespan Coins before respectfully handing them to Fang Chen.

Monarch Pan Shan fumbled for a while before pulling out two thousand Yin Lifespan Coins and handing them to Fang Chen.

Fang Chen didn’t count them. He used Monarch Yan’s seal to absorb the Yin Lifespan Coins. The Yin Lifespan Coins on the Monarch Yan’s Seal surged rapidly, eventually stopping at twenty-five thousand.

Then, he waved his hand and wrote two imperial edicts in midair, which fell on Tai Yin Dragon King and the Monarch Pan Shan.

Stone Dragon reminded indifferently, ”If you want an official position, do not resist.”

Tai Yin Dragon King and Monarch Pan Shan had originally wanted to resist when they felt the force attacking them. However, when they heard Stone Dragon’s words, they were shocked and immediately ceased resisting, allowing the power to flow into them freely.

However, Tai Yin Dragon King was surprised and subconsciously glanced at Monarch Pan Shan.

Why did he also receive an imperial edict?

Monarch Pan Shan was taken aback. He had never desired an official position in the Greater Underworld, as he enjoyed his freedom here. He hadn’t anticipated this situation at all.

Soon, the two imperial edicts took effect, and the two felt a change in their yin bodies. Something felt different from before.

Fang Chen said indifferently, ”Tai Yin Dragon King, from now on, you will be a Day Walker. Although you have a similar position to that of Stone Dragon, he is your senior. His words are my orders, and you must listen to him.”

Tai Yin Dragon King was visibly excited. ”I pay my respects to Monarch Yan, Stone Dragon, Empress Ci, and... Xing Xian.”

Fang Chen looked at Monarch Pan Shan. ”You will be a Night Walker.”

Pan Shan Monarch was silent for a few moments before cupping his fist in respect. ”I pay my respects to you, Monarch Yan.”

Tai Yin Dragon King’s cultivation was a bit stronger than Empress Ci, so the imperial edict had consumed over four thousand five hundred years of Yin Lifespan. Pan Shan Monarch had a similar experience.

After the Monarch Yan’s seal had conferred positions upon the two major Yin demons, their Yin Lifespan didn’t decrease; in fact, it increased by several thousand years.

They now had over sixteen thousand years of Yin Lifespan remaining.

Tai Yin Dragon King asked impatiently, ”Monarch Yan, when will I be able to return to the Mortal Realm?”

Fang Chen replied, ”You want to visit the Mortal Realm? Wait for me, and I’ll take you there, but not to the place you once knew.”

Tai Yin Dragon King nodded repeatedly. ”I understand, I understand.”

As long as he could return to the Mortal Realm for a look, he would be very satisfied. As for seeking revenge in his former world, given his cultivation, it would be pointless. If his enemies were still alive, they would be a lot stronger than before. His revenge would be fruitless.

Fang Chen faintly smiled. ”Everyone, there is nothing more to do here. Come with me to the Mortal Realm.”

Everyone was momentarily taken aback.

Tai Yin Dragon King’s face revealed excitement.

Monarch Pan Shan had curiosity in his eyes. Having stayed in the Underworld for so long, he had nearly forgotten everything about the Mortal Realm.

Empress Ci nodded repeatedly in joy. ”Xing Xian can handle the business in Jiangguang City!”

Xing Xian was speechless.

***

Not long after, he watched as Fang Chen and the others left Jiangguang City, unable to suppress a long sigh.

His cultivation was too low. He needed to quickly reach the realm of a major yin demon. If things continued like this, he might only be relegated to doing menial tasks in the future.

Since Fang Chen had personally taken Stone Dragon and the others back to the Mortal Realm, no Yin Lifespan had been expended from Monarch Yan’s seal.

In the future, unless something unexpected happened, he planned to personally make the trip. Although it would take some time, it was better than losing two thousand years of Yin Lifespan with every trip.

By the Forgotten River, several Yin Walkers stood at the bridgehead. They were engaging in a lively conversation when one of them suddenly stammered and pointed into the distance. ”L-Look!”

Everyone turned to look, but the Forgotten River was calm, with nothing visible. They were puzzled and asked, ”Brother Zhang, what do you want us to look at?”

Brother Zhang rubbed his eyes, frowned, and muttered to himself, ”Did I see it wrongly? Just now, I saw a large red bridal sedan, and above the sedan, there was a flying bone dragon....”

”Hehe, you must have seen wrong. Brother Zhang, have you been in the Underworld too long? It’s probably time for you to return to life.”

Everyone laughed aloud.

The red bridal sedan was one thing, but a bone dragon? They had never seen such a thing in the Underworld

Only in the Floating Pagoda Realm did such yin demons exist.

***

In the Mortal Realm.

Tai Yin Dragon King looked around at the colorful world with stirred emotions. He couldn’t help but let out a dragon’s roar toward the sky.

The roar echoed through the rivers and mountains. All the cultivators in the area were startled, unsure of what had happened. They looked up in shock.

Empress Ci lazily ignored Tai Yin Dragon King and turned to Fang Chen with a courteous smile. ”Lord, would you like to ride in my sedan?”

Fang Chen immediately declined, then stood on top of Tai Yin Dragon King’s head and instructed him to fly toward the direction of the Handan Empire.
