Chapter 4245: From Beyond the Territory

"So what?"

"Therefore, I have been suppressing my Realm, obtaining Opportunities throughout the Divine Domain, and secretly cultivating forces." Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan spoke slowly, staring straight at Xiao Fan. "The events that occurred at Taiyi Mountain, what do you think was the reason?"

"Taiyi Mountain? Are you saying that those people were actually…" Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan was startled.

"That's right. They are my people, the ones I once cultivated. Because of my death, they became very desperate, and the God Emperor chose to let them go." Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan spoke calmly. "In the shadows, I have always had Taiyi Mountain Cultivate experts. It's just a pity that after all these years, the forces cultivated are simply not enough. Of course, you are an exception."

Hearing Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan's words, Xiao Fan's mind was greatly shaken.

If Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan's words were true, then he truly owed the other party a great favor.

"Hehe… Do you understand now? Actually, it's not that I didn't do anything; it's just that you all didn't know." Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan gave a bitter smile.

"Afterward, I grew stronger step by step. During that time, I met Xiahou Yan. We knew and stayed with each other, but unfortunately, I never had the chance to reveal my identity because of who I am… In the end, we went to seize a supreme treasure, which should have been at the level of a chaos divine treasure, so we encountered danger. I originally thought I could resolve everything, but I was wrong… Even if that chaos divine treasure was damaged, I couldn't suppress it. In the end, I could only take Yaner and escape." Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan sighed.

"Afterward, I don't know how that chaos divine treasure managed to find a way to hide itself. I took Yaner back. Yaner's memories were actually erased by me… After all, she had seen my true strength. I wasn't worried about Yaner leaking it, but I was afraid that if someone were to search her soul, matters regarding me would be exposed. If it were just me dying, I wouldn't be afraid, but I am the hope of the Lower Realm, so I cannot die!"

"Then, you brought Xiahou Yan back and built a coffin to protect her?" Xiao Fan asked calmly.

"Yes, I feel very guilty. Can you understand? At that time, I… sigh… let's not talk about this." Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan shook his head. Mentioning the painful past, his emotions began to become somewhat uncontrollable.

Hearing Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan say so much, Xiao Fan was deeply moved.

If Taiyi Mountain really belonged to Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan, then some of Xiao Fan's previous guesses were incorrect.

Originally, Xiao Fan's guess was that Shang Dao had transformed into Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan, hiding in the Divine Domain, constantly trying to find a way to become stronger to defeat the God Emperor.

Xiao Fan did not doubt Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan's desire to defeat the God Emperor.

It was just that he did not understand many of the other party's actions.

"Just how strong is the God Emperor?" Xiao Fan was silent for a moment before speaking in a deep voice.

"How strong? The person you just saw was actually just one of the God Emperor's Clones." Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan spoke calmly.

"As I thought…" Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan was very calm and did not show any signs of surprise.

"What? Just a Clone, and he's already this strong?!" The star chart was greatly shocked.

"Yes, just a single Clone, and he is already this strong." Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan sighed, looked at Xiao Fan, and asked curiously, "You don't seem surprised?"

"Yes, what is there to be surprised about? The Cultivation Techniques in the star chart were all placed there by you. Among them is One Qi Transforms into Three Purities. Since you can obtain such a Cultivation Technique, the God Emperor must have the same, or even better ones…" Xiao Fan spoke slowly.

In fact, Xiao Fan had seen Cultivation Techniques for training Clones before, and they also came from the Divine Domain.

Therefore, at that time, Xiao Fan felt that the Cultivation Techniques in the star chart, after arriving in the Divine Domain, especially in the Upper Realm of the Divine Domain, were clearly no longer the top-tier ones.

That is why Xiao Fan had been diligently Cultivating the Power of Laws, and working on the Fusion of his Hongmeng Body and Human King Blood.

"Hehe… You are right. The Cultivation Techniques in the little star chart are indeed very strong, but the Cultivation Techniques the God Emperor practices are not weak either." Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan spoke calmly. "Many Cultivation Techniques come from beyond the territory. I obtained some, and they have obtained some as well…"
