Chapter 4197: Can It Succeed?

"No need, you are a Heavenly Venerable now…" Xiahou Yan curled her lips and shook her head disdainfully.

"You, you are still as stubborn as ever!" Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan sighed and left the place.

This was a prison personally built by the God Emperor.

No one could leave. Even if they could forcibly shatter the Barrier, the God Emperor would know immediately.

Therefore, even Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan could not take Xiahou Yan away.

After Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan left, memories of the time she spent with him surfaced in Xiahou Yan's mind.

"Who… exactly are you…" Xiahou Yan murmured, sobbing uncontrollably.

"I'm sorry, Yaner…"

After leaving, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan shook his head helplessly, recalling his own past.

Xiahou Yan originally had a younger brother. Because this matter was too long ago, and her brother's talent was average, not many people remembered it.

However, as an older sister, Xiahou Yan loved her brother very much.

Furthermore, at that time, Xiahou Yan was a Prodigy with outstanding talent, and her reputation in the Divine Domain was unparalleled… Countless people pursued her.

Therefore, when the black ring fell into the Divine Domain, Xiahou Yan planned to enter and search for it. While vying for the supreme treasure, she also wanted to prove that she was the strongest of the younger generation.

At that time, Xiahou Yan's younger brother also wanted to go…

Xiahou Yan loved her brother, so naturally, she agreed…

In the eyes of the people of the Divine Domain, the black ring was not dangerous.

After all, if it were a true supreme treasure, how would it be their turn to compete for it?!

Previously, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan was an unknown Loose Cultivator.

Xiahou Yan got to know him, and in her heart, she felt the most favorably toward Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan.

It was just that Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan kept avoiding her. Even though Xiahou Yan could feel that Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan was also interested in her, he simply would not admit it.

Then, everyone arrived at the Secret Realm together.

Among them were various Prodigies from the Divine Domain…

But at that time, after they entered the Secret Realm, they found themselves completely isolated from the world.

Terrible things happened; they faced unimaginable undead.

They built Barriers, originally thinking about how to suppress this supreme treasure…

As a result, they suffered a crushing defeat, and Xiahou Yan's younger brother died tragically…

In the moment of crisis, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan stepped forward and rescued Xiahou Yan.

Then, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan used great methods to open a rift in the Void Realm and led Xiahou Yan away.

Then… they arrived back in the Divine Domain alive.

Xiahou Yan was furious; she wanted revenge, she wanted to tell everyone what had happened in the Secret Realm.

But Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan would not allow it, so he erased Xiahou Yan's memories.

Just when Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan was thinking about how to explain it, the Secret Realm trembled…

Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan knew he had a chance to hide the truth, so he led Xiahou Yan and appeared before everyone.

He gave a simple account, saying that those people had all died, that the supreme treasure had an owner, and that the owner was extremely powerful and had already taken the treasure and left.

He brought Xiahou Yan with him, and in the end, they escaped death…

In short, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan made up many lies.

Furthermore, given the strange occurrences in the Secret Realm at the time, no one doubted Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan's words.

In everyone's eyes, Xiahou Yan was already a dead person.

However, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan found a way: he would use the blood of the Xiahou Family members to nurture a Physical Body for Xiahou Yan, and then place Xiahou Yan's Divine Soul into a coffin, allowing the Divine Soul to be nurtured within the new Physical Body…

Because of Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan's power and infatuation, the Xiahou Family at that time agreed.

This was also a plan of the Xiahou Family.

They were not clear about Xiahou Yan's condition, but being able to win over and befriend a Prodigy like Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan would only benefit their Xiahou Family.

Sure enough.

Years later, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan rose to power, and the Xiahou Family declined.

But because of Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan, the Xiahou Family has continued to this day.

"Yaner, rest assured… these days will soon be over." Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan shook his head helplessly.

"Xiao Fan, can you… succeed…" Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan smiled.
