Chapter 1589 — Chapter 1589 Silhouettes (End of Arc)

After hearing the Lord's inquiry, Yuan said, "Well, some people think I am a demon because of my regenerative abilities, and I can't really blame them, either." "A demon, huh? That's quite troublesome." The Lord mumbled with a frown.

"It's fine for now since they don't know my identity, but it won't stay like that forever."

"Is that so… How about your progress finding the Dragon Spiral Mountain?" The Lord then asked.

Yuan's eyes widened after being reminded of the Dragon Spiral Mountain—the one that existed within the Nine Heavens.

"I actually forgot about that…" Yuan said.

In order to travel to the Nine Heavens with his real body, he must find and activate the teleporter, which exists in a second Dragon Spiral Mountain somewhere between the Fourth Heaven and the Seventh Heaven.

"I might need to make a second trip to the Pavilion of Knowledge…" he muttered.

"Even if you find it, I would be surprised if the gate is still functional." The Lord suddenly said.

"What makes you think that?"

"I would be hard-pressed to believe the Celestial Emperor hadn't tampered with it since it might affect his plans. After all, we would be able to travel there with our real bodies, and I am not sure if that's part of the Celestial Emperor's plans."

"That makes sense…" Yuan mumbled. "I guess we'll find out once I go there."

"By the way, why are there two Dragon Spiral Mountains, and what are their purposes? They were created before the Divine Heaven became the Nine Heavens, correct?"

"There are actually three Dragon Spiral Mountains in existence, and they were created to honor the Dragons of Origins, each representing a Dragon of Origin."

"The one we're on right now was heavily damaged during the divide and used to be much bigger and grander. The second one was completely destroyed after a certain incident long before the divide. The third one should be safe, but as I said, I wouldn't be surprised if the Celestial Emperor did something with it."

"Oh, in case you're interested, our Dragon Spiral Mountain is meant to honor the Dragon Ancestor. The Great One's mountain was the one that got demolished. The last one is for Dragon Goddess Yeyou."

"Anyway, other than being used to honor the Dragons of Origins, they were also used as a means of travel by the beast clans—mostly dragon clans."

"The Divine Heaven was an unfathomably vast world before the divide, so these teleporters were important for travel back then."

Yuan nodded and said, "Makes sense. The Nine Heavens is still massive even though it's split into nine different realms. There are teleport formations in almost every city nowadays, too."

Sometime later.

"Anyway, I will update you when I find the Dragon Spiral Mountain," Yuan said to the Lord before returning home.

After dinner, as they walked back to their room, Chu Liuxiang suddenly stopped in front of their room and turned to look at Yuan, who was right behind her.

"Lulu?" Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"I heard what Yu Rou said a few days ago, you know?" she said.

"About it being unfair to Meixiu that only I get to share a room with you despite both of us being your partner."

"That's—"

Yuan tried to respond but was immediately stopped by Chu Liuxiang, "I already spoke with Meixiu about it, and I asked her if she wanted to move in with us. We have plenty of room in the bed, after all."

"I agreed." Meixiu's voice resounded from behind.

Yuan turned around to see Meixiu approaching them with a resolute expression on her slightly rosy face.

"Is that so…" Yuan mumbled with a smile on his face.

"As for my old room, we can use it for… you know…"

"For when we want to do more than just sleep together." Chu Liuxiang, who was much bolder, finished Meixiu's sentence.

"Are you okay with that?" Meixiu asked Yuan.

He quickly nodded, "Of course. Why wouldn't I?"

That night, Meixiu moved most of her belongings into Yuan's room, and the three of them slept together. Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang decided to continue their training since they were close to a breakthrough.

The next day, they logged into Cultivation Online together.

Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang decided to continue their training since they were close to a breakthrough.

Yuan prepared to revisit the Pavilion of Knowledge to ask about the Dragon Spiral Mountain.

However, before he could go anywhere, a familiar figure appeared before him.

"You… how did you find me?" Yuan asked the tall and bulky figure in front of him.

"As a Commander, I have the location of every faction member below me at my palms," Kelan calmly explained.

"Did you just come back from your world? I have been waiting here for a few days now."

"Yes…" Yuan was a little speechless since this was the first time he was greeted in such a manner.

"Since you know I'm from Earth, it's safe to assume you're not cursed." Kelan nodded, "I am from the upper heavens, after all."

"Anyway, whatchu up to now?"

"Why does it sound like you'll be following me?" Yuan asked with raised eyebrows.

"Because I will—for your protection. If you aren't aware, the Demon Sealing Clan and the Demon Sealing Grotto decided to send their top Demon Sealers to hunt you down after hearing about you."

"They're moving faster than I'd anticipated…" Yuan mumbled.

"That's just how dangerous they deemed you…" Kelan sighed.

"Oh well. I'll deal with it when the time comes. Anyway, do you happen to know a place called the Dragon Spiral Mountain?" Yuan suddenly asked, changing the subject.

Kelan raised an eyebrow and said, "How do you know that place? Aren't you from the lower heavens?"

"So you do?"

"Of course. It's a pretty famous place in the Seventh Heaven—sacred, even."

"I see… so it's in the Seventh Heaven… I guess I don't have to worry about it for a while."

"Why are you asking?" Kelan asked.

"Just curious. I learned about it from the Pavilion of Knowledge." Yuan said.

"Anyway, you asked what I am going to do now, right? I am going to hunt some magical beasts. Do you know a good hunting spot?" he continued.

Kelan shrugged. "You're asking the wrong guy. This is my first time in the Fourth Heaven."

"I thought so. Then I'll go ask around."

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Nine Heavens, two silhouettes were chatting away while surrounded by a chaotic energy that would kill even Immortals.

"Did you hear? The Demon Sealing Clan and the Demon Sealing Grotto have sent the majority of their top Demon Sealers to the lower heavens! This is our chance to make a move!"

"Finally! We have been waiting for this moment for countless years! Once we summon the Ancient, the Demon Clan will rule over this world again!"

"Where's Demon Emperor Carnage? I haven't seen him for a while now."

"I have no clue, but he was uttering some nonsense about the Divine Paragon before disappearing. He'll show up once we start the summoning ritual."

"Then let's begin. I cannot wait to take my revenge on the Demon Sealing Clan."

"Without the Divine Paragon, they're just a bunch of nobodies."

"Even if the Divine Paragon were still here, he'd be no match against the Ancient! Hahaha!"

"Hehehe…"

These two silhouettes soon vanished, their laughter echoing eerily until they were completely gone.
