Outside the Jade Mountain Thunder Domain, the Heavenly Demon Hall Master, Dongfang Sheng, had just arrived, accompanied by an elderly man in Japanese attire, his face full of obsequious flattery.

"Demon Lord, this is Jade Mountain. Up until six months ago, there were no changes here. Many of my Japanese experts came here to comprehend the heavens and earth. Unfortunately, this place suddenly underwent a transformation.

One after another, heavenly thunders descended from the sky, forming a thunderous domain. During this time, many of my Japanese experts have ventured into it, seeking to uncover its secrets.

But... even experts with Refining Spirit cultivation... have disappeared without a trace.”

"Oh?"

Dongfang Sheng narrowed his eyes, a hint of interest in his expression, but he didn't outwardly reveal anything, maintaining the demeanor of a powerful figure.

In the Central Plains, there were too many powerful individuals – the Immortal Sect leaders, the court's experts, and that man who dominated the world. He, the esteemed Hall Master of the Heavenly Demon Hall, could only be meek and subservient, standing like a lackey.

But in Japan, after several great battles, nearly all the experts had been thoroughly scoured, and not even a True Monarch at the Yang God level could be found.

Therefore, he was naturally the strongest one there.

He had also regained his long-lost confidence.

Demon Lord!

That was his revered title in Japan.

"However, those people are all mediocre. If you, Demon Lord, were to go, you would surely be able to discover the hidden secrets. Perhaps, there is a peerless treasure inside. Your subordinate congratulates you in advance."

The old man flattered with a smile.

"Hehe, it's too early to say that. I'll go take a look first..." Dongfang Sheng nodded, about to proceed, when suddenly, his face abruptly changed, and he looked at the thunderous domain ahead with shock.

He felt an incredibly terrifying aura rising, as if some peerless ferocious beast was awakening.

This thunderous domain actually concealed a terrifyingly powerful expert.

Who could it be?!

......

On the summit of Jade Mountain, Chen Yuan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze serene and unwavering. Two streams of the power of rules coalesced around him – the rules of Fire and Earth from the Five Elements.

And his cultivation realm had reached the mid-stage of Earthly Immortal!

Fire generates Earth, the two endlessly giving rise to each other, mutually attracting, and the inner and outer universes combined.

His Five Elements Rules were also different from those of ordinary Immortals or Demon Gods; they were Martial God Rules, fundamentally on a different level, qualitatively different.

"Finally... comprehended it."

Chen Yuan murmured to himself, the corner of his mouth habitually curving into a smile.

After starting his seclusion here, he fell into a deep state of enlightenment. The Earth-elemental rules condensed in the world seemed to be drawn toward him, constantly surging towards him.

Therefore, his comprehension speed was also very fast.

In just half a year, he achieved what would take ordinary Immortals a century. Today, he had completely condensed the rules and successfully broken through.

However, correspondingly, he had also consumed almost all the heavenly and earthly rules in this area. Originally, he had planned to leave this place for Moro to comprehend, but it would probably take a long time to recover.

"It's time to leave!"

Chen Yuan breathed a long sigh. For the past year, he had either been fighting or in seclusion, barely taking a good rest. He planned to return to the capital for a few days of recuperation.

After that, he would begin the campaign to conquer the demons.

His gaze slowly turned beyond Jade Mountain, and a slight surprise flickered in Chen Yuan's eyes. He hadn't expected to encounter acquaintances in Japan. It seemed that the Heavenly Demon Hall valued Japan quite a bit.

Even the Hall Master had personally shown up.

......

"Demon Lord, this..." The elderly Japanese man beside him also sensed the terrifying aura within the thunderous domain, which caused him to feel a sense of trembling from the bottom of his heart.

This power seemed even more terrifying than the Demon Lord.

Could there be such an existence in Japan?

"Go."

Dongfang Sheng quickly made a decision, not wanting to meet that terrifying existence within the thunderous domain. It was best to leave first. After all, he was still an invader.

If that existence was a Japanese expert, seeing the current situation in Japan, they might become furious. In his opinion, anyone with that kind of power was definitely a Sixth Realm Immortal.

Only Regent Chen Yuan could quell them!

But just as he was about to tear through the void and leave, he suddenly felt an incredibly terrifying pressure, as heavy as a mountain, which not only prevented him from moving an inch but also directly sealed the surrounding void.

Oh no!

Realizing this, Dongfang Sheng's face quickly changed.

In the sky, the ten-mile thunderous domain that had enveloped Jade Mountain for half a year gradually began to dissipate. Accompanied by rumbling thunder, it vanished in just a short while.

The scene returned to the clear skies of the past.

"Senior, please wait. I am Dongfang Sheng, the Hall Master of the Heavenly Demon Hall of the Central Plains Immortal Sects. I am here under the orders of Regent Chen Yuan to investigate this place. If I have offended you, I hope you will forgive me.

Regent Chen Yuan is an existence at the Celestial Immortal realm. Senior, you can..."

Dongfang Sheng immediately brought up Chen Yuan, hoping to make the other party wary and not casually erase him. Under the threat of death, he was thinking very quickly.

"Hehe, under the Regent's orders to come here? I don't remember issuing such an order."

A faint voice directly interrupted Dongfang Sheng's words, causing him to freeze for a moment. He felt that the voice seemed... so familiar.

Chen Yuan!

It was Chen Yuan!

Dongfang Sheng quickly continued to ask:

"Could it be that the Regent is here?"

"Precisely."

Right in front of Dongfang Sheng, the void slowly stirred, and a young man in a black python robe slowly stepped out, his aura concealed, but with a slight perception.

One could discover the boundless power within him, as deep as the sea.

Standing there, he was like a divine peak standing between heaven and earth.

"Dongfang Sheng pays respects to the Regent!" Seeing that the person who appeared was indeed Chen Yuan, Dongfang Sheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If he had encountered a Japanese expert,

It would have been difficult to escape unscathed today.

And the elderly Japanese man beside him widened his eyes, his gaze filled with shock.

Regent, Chen Yuan!

Although he was located in Japan and had never set foot in the Central Plains, many experts from the Central Plains had come here in the past half-year, and he had naturally heard some stories about Chen Yuan.

Rising from the chaos, unifying the Central Plains.

Possessing heaven-shattering power, suppressing the entire mortal world, so powerful that he could even shoot down the sun. He was also the culprit behind the destruction of the three major Japanese families!

No wonder even the terrifying Demon Lord Dongfang Sheng had to salute this man.

No wonder this area near Jade Mountain had become a forbidden area in Japan. If this man had done it, it would not be surprising.

After all, this was a true legend standing at the pinnacle of the mortal world!

"Fellow Daoist Dongfang, no need to be so polite." Chen Yuan smiled faintly, and an invisible force lifted him up.

"Thank you, Regent."

"Fellow Daoist Dongfang, shouldn't you be in the Central Plains? How... did you suddenly come to Japan?" Chen Yuan asked casually, feeling a little curious.

Dongfang Sheng's face did not show embarrassment, and he quickly said:

"Regent, you previously told Grand Commander Jiang that the Heavenly Demon Hall could enter Japan. Naturally, I wouldn't dare to neglect it, so I brought the main force of the Heavenly Demon Hall to Japan myself.

It has been half a year since then. Today, I heard some rumors in Japan and felt that there might be a problem here, so I came to investigate, but I didn't expect you to be here as well."

Naturally, he couldn't say that he felt too suppressed in the Central Plains. The former Heavenly Ranking expert no longer had any sense of presence, so he came to Japan to find some sense of importance.

"How is the situation then?"

Chen Yuan nodded, not delving deeper.

"To this day, all the rebellious forces in Japan have been suppressed. The so-called seventy-two kings are simply vulnerable, either dead or surrendered.

Now, the imperial court only needs to send some manpower to take over this place."

"Not bad, as expected of Hall Master Dongfang. You've done so much in such a short time. In the future, when this is reported back to the Central Plains, your deeds of expanding the territory will surely be circulated for a long time."

Chen Yuan praised him.

"Regent, you are too kind. It was all because you solved those experts that the Heavenly Demon Hall was able to be so successful. I really dare not take credit for it," Dongfang Sheng said quickly.

He was aware of some secrets and knew that Chen Yuan was building momentum in the Central Plains, so he wouldn't dare to steal his thunder.

"In the future, how does Fellow Daoist Dongfang plan to deal with Japan?"

"Please instruct me, Regent. I will obey your orders."

"Well... I'll teach you. First, gradually replace the writing system of Japan, destroy what they worship, introduce everything from the Central Plains to this place, and tell them.

The Central Plains is their ancestor. Gradually transform Japan into an overseas province of the Central Plains. The imperial court and the Heavenly Demon Hall will jointly govern this place. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Dongfang?"

"I obey!"

Dongfang Sheng immediately stated his position, not daring to disobey in the slightest.

But the elderly Japanese man on the side lowered his head, his face filled with resentment. This was clearly digging up the roots of Japan. In hundreds or thousands of years, who would still consider themselves Japanese?

"Regent, I have a different opinion."

The old man immediately raised his head and said in a deep voice.

He looked at this Regent and didn't seem as fierce as the rumors said. Perhaps there was still some room for change.

But Chen Yuan didn't even look at him, but simply turned his gaze to Dongfang Sheng and smiled faintly.

And the moment the old man opened his mouth, a look of anger instantly rose on Dongfang Sheng's face. He instantly attacked, directly unleashing a palm strike. The terrifying power directly killed the old man on the spot.

"Do you even have the right to speak here?"

After killing the old man, Dongfang Sheng raised his hand and said:

"Regent, it was I who failed to manage my subordinates properly. I hope you will forgive me."

"Hehe, it's fine."

"Actually, Sheng has another suggestion. I wonder what you think, Regent?"

"Tell me about it."

"It would be too merciful to directly transform these Japanese people into people from the Central Plains. I've been in contact with the Japanese people for some time and found that these people are afraid of power but not grateful for kindness.

They are all a group of wolves with wild ambitions. They are currently docile and obedient only because the Central Plains is strong. If the Central Plains becomes weak in the future, they will inevitably bite back.

It would be better to turn all the Japanese people into slaves and then promote some smart people to manage them, give them hope, and gradually... obliterate the Japanese people. Finally, migrate people from the Central Plains to this place.

Wouldn't that be better?"

"Whatever you want." Chen Yuan didn't object because he had the same idea before, but because his strength had improved, he didn't want to waste time on these trivial matters.

"I obey!"

"How is the Central Plains recently?"

During the half-year of seclusion, Chen Yuan had no idea what had happened. He had just woken up and sensed Dongfang Sheng's aura, but he hadn't had time to contact Su Ziyue and the others.

"Under your deterrence, Regent, the world is at peace, and the four seas are calm. Although I am in Japan, I often pay attention to the movements in the Central Plains. I haven't heard of any unrest."

"That's good."

"You have just come out of seclusion, Regent. Why not rest in Japan for a while? I can also spread your fame throughout this place." Dongfang Sheng only had admiration for Chen Yuan now.

After all, he was now an existence that even his ancestors couldn't catch up with.

He couldn't put on any airs at all.

Hall Master of the Heavenly Demon Hall, leader of the Immortal Sect, Yang God True Monarch – these titles seemed powerful, but they were vulnerable in front of Chen Yuan and could be destroyed with a wave of his hand.

This person in front of him had a great hope of becoming the future Human Emperor.

What was wrong with being a little obsequious?

"No need, I have some things to return to the Central Plains. I can rest assured with Fellow Daoist Dongfang in charge of this place." Chen Yuan waved his hand, rejecting Dongfang Sheng's invitation.

"You are busy with important matters, Regent. I was being presumptuous." Dongfang Sheng was a little disappointed. He was still thinking of getting closer to Chen Yuan and asking for some guidance.

He had heard that Jiang He was able to comprehend the rules and step into the realm of half-immortal under Chen Yuan's guidance.

"Well, we'll meet again in the future."

Chen Yuan smiled, said goodbye, tore through the void, and stepped into it.

"Farewell, Regent!"

......

......

"Finally back!"

When Chen Yuan tore through the void and stepped into the capital of Shenjing, he sighed like this. Speaking of which, he was a little emotional. After taking down the capital and pacifying the Central Plains,

He was becoming more and more busy. Apart from the beginning of the year, he had hardly been in this place.

This time, he had to take a good rest before starting another war.

After returning to the capital, Chen Yuan quickly met Su Ziyue, and the two naturally had a good time together, discussing fishing techniques.

Fishing in the palace was very pleasant. Chen Yuan didn't use any power, but he managed to catch a big fish weighing hundreds of pounds. The fishing rod wasn't very long.

It was only a few dozen centimeters.

But it had to be said that the big fish struggled very hard, but Chen Yuan's fishing skills were also terrifying. In just half a quarter of an hour, the fish came out of the water.

......

"Are you tired? Have some spiritual tea..." Su Ziyue held a cup of tea and brought it to Chen Yuan's side.

"Hehe, has anything happened in the past six months?"

"Everything has been done according to your instructions. Now, Zhennan Pass has mobilized over a million elite troops, ready to go at any time. Southern Border is shrinking back again and again, probably feeling scared."

"Hmm."

"The altar is also speeding up its progress and will be completed soon."

"Hmm, there's no hurry. It's not too late to speed it up after destroying Southern Border."

"Okay."

"Anything else?"

"Hmm... Sister Pingyang has disappeared. There is a new Concubine Chen in the harem... The kind of thing you're thinking about is probably about to happen.

Don't forget to call me to watch together when the time comes."

Chen Yuan: "......"
