Fantasy: The ancestor is too steady, Luo Hou blesses at the beginning - Chapter 2

Chapter 2  The Grand Palace Master Duanmu Yan! A Magnificent Move! Mother’s Best Friend!

“Not good, I was too forceful just now!”

“World within the sleeve!”

Chu Tian shook his head helplessly, then immediately used his spatial divine power. He opened his own cave heaven and reached out to grab the Demon Ancestor’s God-Slaying Spear.

At that moment, countless runes flowed around Chu Tian’s five fingers. His Dao aura was extremely profound, and the power of laws stirred the void.

If the Demon Ancestor’s God-Slaying Spear were left floating there, the entire Sacred Demon Mountain would be reduced to ashes by its divine might!

A cave heaven is something every cultivator opens upon breaking through to the Xuanfu realm. Besides allowing for cultivation advancements like infant transformation, it also serves as a storage space for the cultivator’s treasures. It is much safer than storage bags or similar storage magic tools!

Cultivation realms are divided into: Yuanmai (Origin Vein), Judan (Core Condensation), Xuanfu (Profound Mansion), Yingbian (Infant Transformation), Tianyan (Heaven’s Evolution), Wendao (Seeking the Dao), Shengzun (Holy Venerable), Dizun (Emperor Venerable)—a total of eight realms. Ancient divine weapons are not ordinary weapons.

Generally speaking, it was extremely difficult for the average person to suppress one—let alone store it within their own cave heaven. However, likely because it was a system reward, Chu Tian didn’t have much difficulty putting it away.

With a wave of his hand, his spatial divine power activated and instantly pulled the Demon Ancestor’s God-Slaying Spear into his cave heaven.

Suspended within the cave heaven, the chaotic primordial aura quickly receded and returned to calm.

“If this weren’t a system reward, I probably wouldn’t have been able to store an ancient divine weapon inside my cave heaven, right?”

Chu Tian muttered to himself.

“Ding! Host is correct! Sign-in rewards belong to the host. From the moment the Demon Ancestor’s God-Slaying Spear appeared, it had already acknowledged you as its master. Therefore, it’s easier for you to operate.”

“No wonder! After all, besides those ancient Emperor Venerables, most people can’t suppress an ancient divine weapon into their cave heaven at all!”

Chu Tian nodded thoughtfully.

At this moment, high in the skies outside the Palace of Freedom, a stunning woman in a flowing blue dress approached. The aura around her was terrifying beyond measure!

However, her expression didn’t look too good. This stunning woman was none other than Duanmu Yan, the Grand Palace Master of Sacred Demon Mountain!

Behind her followed a few middle-aged Daoists with lingering fear on their faces. They were the Palace Masters of the other five palaces among the seven within Sacred Demon Mountain!

Just moments ago, when the Demon Ancestor’s God-Slaying Spear appeared, its divine might swept across the entire mountain range. Sacred Demon Mountain had nearly been destroyed!

If not for the Grand Palace Master joining forces with the other five Palace Masters to urgently activate their strongest defensive formation. Sacred Demon Mountain might truly have been annihilated!

If that were the case, it was easy to imagine that those disciples with weaker cultivation would definitely be crushed into dust!

“Tsk tsk tsk… It seems things have really gotten out of hand.”

Chu Tian shook his head with a helpless smile, blaming himself for not thinking things through in advance. He also blamed the Demonic Ancestor’s God-Slaying Spear — its power was just too monstrous!

Clearly, Chu Tian wanted to settle the matter peacefully. He extended his divine sense into the cave realm and found a pouch of the Demonic Ancestor’s Sacred Heart Grass.

“I’ll give them some Demonic Ancestor’s Sacred Heart Grass… cool them off a bit.”

With that thought, Chu Tian activated the formation and flew out of the Palace of Freedom, arriving before the Grand Palace Master and several others.

“Chu Tian, what have you done this time!?”

“This is… for me?”

The Grand Palace Master’s jade hand trembled slightly within her snowy white sleeve as she accepted the Sacred Heart Grass Chu Tian handed over, her eyes reddening.

“This won’t do, this won’t do!”

“This is far too valuable!”

Grand Palace Master Duanmu Yan kept protesting, but her hands clutched the Sacred Heart Grass tightly, stuffing it into her robes like her life depended on it.

“Grand Palace Master, such a heavenly treasure must be shared among us all. How can you take it for yourself?”

The Palace Master of Taiyin Peak, clearly understanding the value of the treasure, shouted indignantly upon seeing Duanmu Yan trying to keep it for herself.

The other palace masters also joined in, exchanging sharp words and accusing the Grand Palace Master of hoarding a peerless divine item!

Grand Palace Master Duanmu Yan’s stunning face turned red with anger. These bastards had no sense of chivalry at all. But deep down, she understood — it wasn’t that they were heartless. The Demonic Ancestor’s Sacred Heart Grass was just too hard to resist!

“Grand Palace Master, respected elders, please calm down! It’s just a pouch of Sacred Heart Grass, no need to fall out over this…”

Chu Tian stood awkwardly to the side, trying to mediate the situation.

“There is a need! That’s the legendary Demonic Ancestor’s Sacred Heart Grass!!”

At Chu Tian’s words, the other five palace masters grew even more agitated, practically shouting now. Just a sip of a potion brewed with the Sacred Heart Grass could send someone into a state of enlightenment!

Even cultivation bottlenecks that had plagued someone for decades could be instantly broken through!

And one’s cultivation realm would naturally improve as a result. This wasn’t the first time Chu Tian had given them such an extraordinary treasure. So they knew exactly how valuable this was!

After all, Chu Tian’s birth had shaken the heavens with omens, blessed by the Demonic Ancestor himself. There was no need to even guess — anything from Chu Tian was never an ordinary item!

With something so precious, how could the five palace masters of Sacred Demon Mountain allow Duanmu Yan to keep it all to herself?

Absolutely not!

As the argument between the Grand Palace Master and the others grew more heated, a light flashed in Chu Tian’s eyes. He decided to go all out again — after all, he had way more than he could ever use!

And just imagine — what kind of concept is a 199-year streak of daily sign-ins!?

“These are just worthless things, no need for the Grand Palace Lord and the other senior masters to make a fuss over it…”

“Take it—one pound each!”

Chu Tian stepped into the middle of the six people, interrupting their argument, and said with a calm smile.

The pouch from the Grand Palace Lord earlier only contained about a pound. Now that everyone was getting the same amount, there would be no complaints. Chu Tian reached into his inner world with his divine sense, and five palm-sized bundles of herbs appeared in his hands.

From the bundles flowed traces of Dao rhythm, exuding the fragrant aura of the Grand Dao—it was the Demon Ancestor’s Sacred Heart Grass. Chu Tian handed out one bundle to each person.

At this moment, the five Palace Lords looked at the bundles of Demon Ancestor’s Sacred Heart Grass in their hands. Every single one of them was in a daze, their hands trembling.

So extravagant…!

This wasn’t just some ordinary herb—and yet, he gave each of them a whole bundle?

“Thank you, Nephew Chu Tian…”

Duanmu Yan put away the Demon Ancestor’s Sacred Heart Grass into her inner world and flew over to stand beside Chu Tian. Her beautiful eyes gazed at him with a soft smile as she spoke gently.

The appreciation—and a subtle hint of something else—in her eyes didn’t escape Chu Tian’s notice. But he tactfully looked away, as if nothing had happened.

Chu Tian knew very well that this woman had already made flirtatious advances toward him more than once. What was more, this beautiful Grand Palace Lord was renowned not just in the entire Gu Luo Prefecture, but even throughout the Great Ruins.

However… this stunning beauty was someone from his mother’s generation. In fact, she was one of his mother’s closest friends. Whenever Duanmu Yan looked at him with those subtle suggestive eyes, Chu Tian felt a chill run down his spine. That was his mother’s best friend!

Although Palace Lord Duanmu was incomparably beautiful and dazzling—far surpassing even Palace Lord Xu Yanhong of the Moonwatching Palace!

Though she looked just like a girl of about twenty, Chu Tian simply couldn’t accept it. What if his mother found an opportunity to break through and returned one day…

And learned that her son had gotten involved with her best friend—what would happen then? Chu Tian truly had no confidence in the answer…
