I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

No!

Dude, today is your 800th birthday!
Where did the 800-year wait come from?
Moreover, the holy son of this "Eastern Domain Holy King" looks very young, and his cultivation aura seems to be similar to that of the "Burial Sky Lion," probably appearing to be in the early stage of a mid-level half-saint.

For powerful individuals of their level, 800 years old is not considered old, so Jiang He didn't really understand why the "Holy Son" was holding this "800th birthday celebration."

It's like someone like "Prince Li," who lived to be over 100 years old before finally reaching the Fish-Dragon Realm and still dares to call himself a genius...

Jiang He thought it was ridiculously exaggerated!

of course.

These thoughts are just that—thoughts in one's mind.

The holy son of the "Eastern Holy King" led Jiang He into the main hall before letting go.

"Please sit down, have a seat."

Jiang He took his seat.

The Holy Son then took out his treasured wine and poured it for Jiang He himself. Only then did he remember something and look at the Flying Eagle Half-Saint, the Black Bear Half-Saint, the Little Fox, and the Little Golden Dragon who had come with Jiang He.

"Oh?"

"Two demon race half-saints, a pure-blooded true dragon descendant, and a four-tailed fox demon... they should be disciples of Qingqiu, right?"

Qingqiu?

Jiang He had never heard of the name "Qingqiu" in the Kunlun region, but based on his knowledge of the Great Xia's "myths and legends," he couldn't help but ask, "Qingqiu Mountain?"

The holy son nodded and said, "Qingqiu Mountain is a demon clan force with an extremely long history in the Central Region. This force has a deep connection with our Great Xia. Back then, the Heavenly Fox Great Sage of Qingqiu followed a powerful figure from our Great Xia."

"I see."

Jiang He nodded and asked, "There are quite a few fox demons in the world. Why does Your Highness believe that I am a disciple of Qingqiu?"

The Holy Son said, “Brother Jiang, there’s no need to be so formal. Although I was born in Kunlun, my father came from the Great Xia… The disciples of the Great Xia are like my maternal family. My surname is Chen, and my given name is Ze. If you consider me a friend, just call me Brother Chen.”

Jiang He clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute: "Brother Chen!"

"Brother Jiang!"

The Holy Son responded and then explained, "There are indeed many fox demons in the Kunlun Realm, but many fox demons only have one tail even if they cultivate to the half-saint realm... Only the disciples of Qingqiu who inherited the bloodline of that nine-tailed celestial fox ancestor were able to have multiple tails."

He glanced at the little demon and said, "This fox demon already has four tails even though it's only at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. I'm afraid the Celestial Fox bloodline within it is extremely powerful, and its future achievements are limitless."

He gave Jiang He a meaningful look and said, "Brother Jiang... you should treat this little fox demon well in the future, and it's best to go to the Central Region less often, otherwise you might get into trouble if the disciples of Qingqiu Mountain find out."

So what if they found it?

I did not mistreat the disciples of Qingqiu.

Perhaps because someone from his "maternal family" had come, this "holy son" was very simple.

He was very curious about everything in Great Xia, asking all sorts of questions, which Jiang He answered one by one. The Holy Son listened with longing on his face, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Unfortunately... I am being watched by too many eyes, so I cannot go to Tianmen Pass, nor can I return to Great Xia."

"Oh?"

Jiang He said, "Brother Chen, as the Holy Son of the Eastern Region Holy King's Mansion, who would dare to keep an eye on you?"

Chen Ze sighed and said, "Naturally, it's those alien puppets... It's only in this hall that I would dare to talk about these things with Brother Jiang He in any other place."

He flicked his finger, and a surge of holy power flew from his fingertip, landing on the window of the main hall.

Wow!

A ripple of water flashed across the window.

Immediately afterwards, the entire hall began to shimmer with the glow of array formations and restrictions.

With another wave of his hand, Chen Zeshengzi caused the luster of the array's restrictions to disappear.

at the same time.

Inside the Holy King's Palace, three holy thoughts silently extended outwards.

The three holy thoughts tried to probe into the main hall, but were blocked by an invisible force. They quickly withdrew and communicated with each other. One of them transmitted a message: "Send someone to investigate what this holy son is up to this time!"

Another holy thought sighed and said, "The one in the Central Region doesn't know what's going on either. The news of the emergence of Tianmen Pass has been delivered to him for more than 20 years, but there has been no response."

"And Chen Wangting."

"He's delusional, trying to escape the control of the Realm King. He's been summoned to the Central Region for twenty years, and I wonder if the one there has managed to get rid of him!"

The third holy thought pondered for a moment before speaking: "Do you think... that one in the Central Region might have harbored ulterior motives?"

"impossible!"

The other two sacred thoughts spoke in unison.

One of them sneered, "Back then, the Tianmen Pass was quickly defeated. The fact that the various races' armies were able to quickly conquer the Kunlun Realm was largely due to that person... Although he was born in the Great Xia Dynasty, he has already betrayed his own realm and world. The only way for him to survive is to join us."

"Moreover, without the support of our race, how could he have become a Great Sage so quickly?"

…………

In the main hall.

Chen Ze recounted the story of his father, the "Holy King of the Eastern Region."

"After the defeat of Kunlun Realm, the allied forces of the eighteen clans invaded various regions of Kunlun Realm... Blood flowed like rivers and corpses piled up like mountains in various regions. They wanted to attack the Great Xia Ancestral Star, but the Heavenly Gate Pass had already sealed the passage to the Ancestral Star, and the Ancestral Star had also been sealed off by someone with great power."

"So they vented their anger on the Kunlun Realm... They burned, killed, and looted in the Kunlun Realm for nearly a hundred years, and even turned the Kunlun Realm into their training ground."

"Later, for reasons unknown, the eighteen alien armies began to gradually withdraw from the Kunlun Realm."

"But in the past hundred years in the Kunlun Realm... they have already secretly controlled the entire Kunlun. Even the Realm Emperor of the Central Region was supported by the alien race... My father also pretended to submit to the alien race back then, which is how he obtained the position of Holy King of the Eastern Region."

Jiang He had heard about this from Qin Jiuzhou.

The "Eastern Holy King" was one of the executors of the "Great Xia Fire Seed" project.

He defected to the foreign tribe in order to preserve his strength, pass on the legacy of the Great Xia Dynasty, and secretly protect the "Heavenly Gate Pass".

“My father never told me these things.”

"Until more than twenty years ago, one day my father suddenly returned from outside... He said he was about to die, and told me these things, telling me to stay in the Holy King's Mansion and wait, that one day the strongmen of Great Xia would descend here and take me back to my hometown."

Jiang He asked, "The Holy King said he doesn't have long to live... but what danger has he encountered?"

Chen Ze gritted his teeth and said, "The puppet world emperor of the Central Region summoned my father sixty years ago, but my father always refused to go, citing seclusion as the reason... But for some reason, more than twenty years ago, my father suddenly changed his mind."

"Over the years, I have tried every means possible, but I have never been able to find out any news about my father... nor have I ever heard of any major battle that took place in the Central Region Imperial City."

“My father was once a prodigy. He told me that his greatest pride in life was leaving his mark on the Heavenly Gate Trial Tower and becoming one of its guardians… Before he left, he had already advanced to the peak of the Saint Realm. Even the World Emperor of the Central Region could not suppress my father silently!”

Jiang He suddenly realized.

The World Emperor of the Central Region was a puppet cultivated by the alien race. The Holy King of the Eastern Region once pretended to submit to the alien race, but the alien race later discovered his "disloyal intentions" and thus wanted to eliminate the Holy King of the Eastern Region.

More than twenty years ago...

This should be the time when "Tianmen Pass" was created.

After meeting Qin Jiuzhou at Tianmen Pass, the Holy King of the Eastern Region returned to his palace to settle his affairs before heading to the Central Region. His fate is now unknown, and there has been no word from him.

"and many more!"

Jiang He suddenly paused, then asked, "Brother Chen, you just said that your father is the guardian of the Trial Tower at Tianmen Pass?"

Chen Ze: "That's right. If Brother Jiang He has ever reached the ninth level of the Trial Tower, he might have even encountered a photo of my father."

Speaking of which.

The holy son of the Eastern Region Holy King's Palace couldn't help but laugh. It was clear...

This was not only his father's greatest pride in his life, but also his pride as a son, and he felt proud of it.

"........."

Jiang He was somewhat incredulous and couldn't help but sigh, "Fate is truly wondrous. I never imagined that your father, Brother Chen, was actually Senior Chen Wangting."

Chen Ze was startled and asked, "Brother Jiang He, have you seen a photo of my father?"

Jiang He nodded and gave Chen Wangting a very high evaluation, saying, "Your father was able to leave his mark on the ninth floor of the Trial Tower, which means that his combat power in the early stage of the Fish-Dragon Realm has almost reached the limit of this realm... I also spent a lot of effort to defeat your father back then."

Chen Ze: "..."

He pondered for a long time before saying, "So... the guardian of the ninth level of the Trial Tower is no longer my father?"

He looked somewhat disappointed.

Jiang He didn't know how to comfort him, so he changed the subject and asked, "Brother Chen, what was the situation when you said earlier that there were other eyes watching your Holy King's Mansion?"

Chen Ze explained the reason with a wry smile.

It turns out that when Chen Wangting took the position of "Eastern Region Saint King", the powerful figures of the alien races were not at ease, so they left six half-saints to keep an eye on Chen Wangting.

Back then, Chen Wangting was a beginner-level half-saint.

Among those six, there was even a mid-level half-saint.

Therefore, Chen Wangting faced difficulties at every step in the Eastern Region Holy King's Palace, and was constantly hampered by the six half-saints. Later, as Chen Wangting's cultivation gradually increased, he tricked and killed three of the six half-saints.

However, there are still three people in the Holy King's Palace.

One of them is a half-saint of the Golden Crow Clan, one is a half-saint of the Witch Clan, and one is a half-saint of the Blood Clan; two are high-level and one is mid-level.

Moreover, according to Chen Ze's judgment.

These three demigods also secretly cultivated their own forces.

When the Eighteen Tribes Allied Forces withdrew from the Kunlun Realm, they left behind some soldiers or descendants of other tribes. These descendants of other tribes have developed in the Kunlun Realm for thousands of years, and have produced many experts.

For example, the master of the "Crimson Blood Tower" in Kunlun Ruins was a member of the Heavenly Demon Clan.

There's also the Stone Clan's semi-saint "Shi Tongtian" on the Wanqu River, who is arrogant and ignorant of his own limitations. He is a master of the Stone Clan. In addition, there are various clans such as Blood Clan, Witch Clan, Ghost Clan, Barbarian Clan, and Golden Crow Clan living in the Kunlun Realm.

With the abilities of the three semi-saints of the Holy King's Mansion, it wouldn't be difficult for them to recruit and train some alien races.

Therefore, in addition to the Crimson Blood Army left behind by Chen Wangting, there was also a Black Armor Army led by those three half-saints in the Holy King's Palace.

“My father has a disciple who is a half-saint of our human race. He is extremely talented and broke through to the high-level half-saint a hundred years ago…”

It was precisely because of this human race demigod, plus Chen Ze himself being a mid-level demigod.

Those three wouldn't dare go too far.

However, more than 20 years ago, after Chen Wangting left the Holy King's Mansion, this human race half-saint was betrayed by those three and is now seriously injured.

If he were to perish, coupled with the fact that Chen Wangting had not returned for over twenty years...

Those three alien half-saints will definitely make a move against Chen Ze, and from now on, the "Eastern Region Saint King's Mansion" will probably have no place for humans to speak.

Jiang He frowned and said, "The two high-level experts are indeed a bit troublesome... I can't kill them yet. Brother Chen, please be patient. When I come to Holy King City again, I will help you solve those three problems."

Anyway, all three of them already knew about the birth of "Tianmen Pass".

The intelligence had already been passed on.

There's no need to continue indulging them; we should just kill Suanqiu when the time comes.

"Tianmen Pass" is a sacred legacy. When Qin Jiuzhou was in the Fish-Dragon Realm, he could use the power of "Tianmen Pass" to fight against half-saints... Now, nearly 20 half-saints have gathered in Tianmen Pass, and with the western city of Tianmen Pass now unsealed, the power they can unleash is even greater!

Even if the Realm Emperor of the Central Region were to personally arrive, he might not be able to defeat "Heavenly Gate Pass".

Jiang He's thoughts flickered, and he said, "However, Brother Chen's current situation is not very good... How about this, I'll contact my seventh brother and ask him to send a few half-saints over to protect you."

"Flying Eagle".

"Go and call that little monk in."

The Flying Eagle Half-Saint accepted the order and stepped out of the main hall.

Almost the instant he stepped out of the main hall, the three holy thoughts swept over him.

The Flying Eagle Half-Saint noticed something, but didn't pay it any mind.

The three holy thoughts quickly withdrew and conversed, "A half-saint? A demon race half-saint... If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Flying Eagle Demon King from the Thousand Demon Cave by the Wanqu River!"

"Wasn't it said that the Holy Son was receiving a disciple of the Great Xia Dynasty? How did it involve the Demon King of the Thousand Demon Cave?"

"Just wait and see what happens!"

Before long, the Flying Eagle Half-Saint brought back Xu Rulai.

"Amitabha."

Xu Rulai clasped his hands together and respectfully bowed, saying, "This humble monk greets Your Highness, Holy Son."

Chen Ze already knew that Xu Rulai was also a disciple of the Great Xia Dynasty, so he immediately stepped forward to help him up. Jiang He, on the other hand, got straight to the point, briefly explained the situation, and said, "Brother Xu, you should go back to Tianmen Pass now and tell Minister Qin about this matter, and ask him to send an expert over."

“I’ll have Flying Eagle accompany you; he’s fast on his feet.”

Xu Rulai glanced at Flying Eagle Half-Saint, shook his head, and said, "No need... Brother Jiang, you already said that there are three alien race Half-Saints guarding this Holy King's Mansion. They must have already set their sights on Flying Eagle Half-Saint. Having him take me back to Tianmen Pass would only make me too conspicuous... I'll just go back myself."

Jiang He thought for a moment and said, "Alright, go and come back quickly."

Xu Rulai smiled and said, "No rush, let me fetch something first."

He sat cross-legged on the ground, took out a kasaya and a monk's staff, draped the kasaya over his body, placed the staff across his lap, and then took out a wooden fish. He struck the wooden fish and began chanting Buddhist scriptures, and gradually a Buddhist light rose from his body.

After a while...

Wow!

A cold wind blew in.

Immediately afterwards...

Snapped!
A bloody head fell to the ground of the main hall, along with a three-legged round incense burner covered in verdigris.

Who else could that head be but the "Crown Prince of Li" of Dongshan Commandery?

A gust of cold wind swirled and transformed into a woman dressed in red, who floated behind Xu Rulai.

"Amitabha."

Xu Rulai recited Buddhist scriptures and rebuked, "You have killed again."

"Humph!"

The woman in red snorted coldly, crossed her arms, and looked arrogant.

Jiang He paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Brother Xu, is that little female ghost still here?"

aside.

Chen Ze, the Flying Eagle Half-Saint, and the Black Bear Half-Saint were on high alert, their eyes fixed on the woman in red. Chen Ze, the Holy Son, said solemnly, "Ghost Clan... Half-Saint?"

"High-level?"

Xu Rulai stood up, kicked "Prince Li's" head away, and said, "Everyone, don't be nervous. This is a good ghost. She has been influenced by the teachings of my Buddhist sect and is now following me to practice Buddhism... I will have her take me back to Tianmen Pass. Alright, I'll be going now!"
