Chapter 282: Looking Back, He’s Already a Supreme Heavenly Venerable

Mythological World.

Heavenly Court.

The news of Zhou Chen achieving Great Luo naturally couldn’t be hidden from the big shots of the Mythological World.

“Romance Star Lord achieved Great Luo?”

“My heavens, it’s only been a few million years, and Romance Star Lord achieved Great Luo from scratch. This talent is too strong!”

“Terrifying!”

The Heavenly Court was in an uproar, countless immortals and gods were dumbfounded.

Zhou Chen ascended to Ancestral God and was conferred the title of Star Lord only a million years ago. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he crossed the thirty levels of Ancestral God, broke through the Great Luo barrier, and achieved Great Luo.

The Mythological Heavenly Court is filled with powerful beings. There are many Ancestral Gods, Golden Immortals, and Great Luos, but that doesn’t mean Great Luo is worthless.

The Mythological World has a long history and governs countless great worlds. Like when Zhou Chen just ascended to Ancestral God and received the idle position of Star Lord, he could manage about twenty great worlds.

And Great Luo is even more significant.

Only by ascending to Great Luo can one truly be considered a supreme being who traverses all heavens and myriad worlds, immortal and indestructible.

No matter where you go, you’re truly among the top echelon.

Even in the powerful Mythological Heavenly Court, a Great Luo Immortal can be conferred the position of an Emperor Lord.

Like Zhou Chen, he’ll definitely be promoted to Romance Emperor Lord now.

He’s truly considered a high-ranking official in the Heavenly Court.

“He’s already ascended to Great Luo?”

In the Celestial Fairy Restaurant, the short-statured Tu Xing Sun lay in the arms of a tall and voluptuous beautiful woman, like a baby feeding.

However, when the news of Zhou Chen ascending to Great Luo arrived, he suddenly felt the milk wasn’t fragrant anymore.

When they first met at the Celestial Desire Pavilion, they had a little conflict. At that time, he had the cultivation of True God Second Transformation, even higher than Zhou Chen.

However, in just over a million years, even though he had some talent and resources, his cultivation only improved to True God Third Transformation.

The gap was too big!

Even among his uncles and grand-uncles, as disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun, except for the dozen or so amazingly talented and renowned individuals who were Great Luos, the rest were at the Ancestral God or Golden Immortal Realm.

“Hopefully, I won’t run into him in the future!”

Tu Xing Sun felt apprehensive. Although their little conflict had happened over a million years ago and was long in the past.

But what if Zhou Chen took offense and decided to deal with him? It would be like child’s play.

Although Zhou Chen wouldn’t directly kill him out of respect for Yuanshi Tianzun, if he were to teach him a lesson, no one would stand up for him.

He could only avoid Zhou Chen from now on.

Yao Chi.

Queen Mother of the West’s beautiful eyes seemed to contain endless years, piercing through infinite space and time, gazing at Zhou Chen who had ascended to Great Luo, with a hint of a smile in her eyes.

“This little guy is growing up so fast!”

Three Immortals Island.

Yun Xiao Niang Niang’s gaze crossed countless space-time, looking at Zhou Chen:

“Little Junior Brother has become Great Luo!”

Bi Xiao’s face was full of joy, she exclaimed excitedly:

“Little Junior Brother is so amazing! Back then, I was considered exceptionally talented with an extraordinary background, transforming into a True God right away. But it took me three hundred million years to become an Ancestral God, twelve hundred million years to reach the peak of Ancestral God, and sixty-six hundred million years to break through and ascend to Great Luo.”

Don’t be fooled by the seemingly long time she took, she was actually very powerful and considered a genius.

Like the Intercepting Teachings, which boasts of ten thousand immortals coming to pay homage, ninety-nine percent of the disciples have no connection to Great Luo, even if they exhaust their entire lives, they can hardly achieve it.

Let alone Great Luo, ninety percent of the Intercepting Teachings disciples can’t even reach Ancestral God or Golden Immortal.

The Intercepting Teachings has numerous disciples, but only twenty or so can reach Great Luo.

Now Zhou Chen has leaped to become Great Luo, not only has his status and position jumped to the forefront, but his strength has also caught up.

Zhou Chen achieved Great Luo in the location of the Eternal Life World. Now the Eternal Life World has been destroyed, and the Gate of Eternal Life has merged into the Red Dust Heavenly Boat.

He stood before a vast expanse of chaos.

Zhou Chen raised his hand and pointed, the chaos separated, dividing Yin and Yang, creating heaven and earth.

Zhou Chen used the ‘remains’ left after the destruction of the Eternal Life World to create a brand new world, and then he left.

As for what would happen to this world afterward, Zhou Chen couldn’t be bothered to care.

Perhaps after the beings of this world are born, Zhou Chen will also become a legend in their mouths, a legend like ‘Pangu’.

Hua Tiandu was annihilated in the previous battle, Zhou Chen didn’t care. Now he no longer needed the power of the chat group to travel through the heavens.

With a thought, the Red Dust Heavenly Boat transformed into a long robe draped over his body. He took a step, crossed infinite space-time, and arrived at Biyou Palace.

Now that he had ascended to Great Luo, the first thing he did was naturally to pay respects to his master, Lingbao Tianzun.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Lingbao Tianzun seemed to have little interaction with Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen had only met him once before.

But without Lingbao Tianzun, it would be difficult for Zhou Chen to develop peacefully, especially with his talent exposed. The attitude of other powerful beings towards him would inevitably be to either recruit or eliminate him.

Thanks to Lingbao Tianzun as his powerful backer, Zhou Chen could leisurely improve without being bothered.

“Disciple pays respects to Master, wishing Master eternal holy life and everlasting Dao.”

Zhou Chen bowed with clasped hands.

Lingbao Tianzun looked at Zhou Chen and said with satisfaction:

“Not bad!”

Now Zhou Chen has grown up. With his talent, it’s not impossible for him to reach his level in the future.

Lingbao Tianzun preached to Zhou Chen for a while, gave him a treasure called the All Heavens Mirror, and then sent him away.

Zhou Chen integrated the All Heavens Mirror into the Red Dust Heavenly Boat, making its power even stronger.

The All Heavens Mirror can monitor all heavens, its power is extraordinary. After merging into the Red Dust Heavenly Boat, its power soared, and its essence was greatly enhanced.

Zhou Chen left happily and returned to Three Immortals Island.

Among his fellow disciples in the Intercepting Teachings, Zhou Chen had the best relationship with Yun Xiao Niang Niang, Qiong Xiao Niang Niang, and Bi Xiao Niang Niang.

Senior brother and sister disciples like Duobao, Jin Ling Sheng Mu, Wu Dang Sheng Mu, Gui Ling Sheng Mu, and Zhao Gongming, who had already achieved Great Luo, came to Three Immortals Island immediately to congratulate Zhou Chen.

As for other disciples who hadn’t ascended to Great Luo, they couldn’t sense Zhou Chen’s ascension immediately. They received the news from their senior brothers and sisters.

It was even harder for them to rush over.

Even Ancestral Gods or Golden Immortals need some time to travel in this Mythological World.

The Mythological World is too vast.

Of course.

Zhou Chen would prepare a celebration later, after all, achieving Great Luo is no small feat.

Heavenly Court.

Zhou Chen once again received a celestial position. It was just a nominal title, and he didn’t have to manage anything.

The Great Heavenly Venerable personally conferred upon Zhou Chen the title of Romance Emperor Lord.

Ordinary people rarely get to see the Great Heavenly Venerable’s true form. Even Ancestral Gods or Golden Immortals serving in the Heavenly Court mostly see the Great Heavenly Venerable’s incarnations.

The Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerable of the Mythological Heavenly Court is not the weakling in the Journey to the West TV series who hides under the table and shouts, “Quickly go to the West and invite the Tathagata Buddha.”

He is a big shot on the same level as his master, Lingbao Tianzun.

Zhou Chen’s promotion to Emperor Lord made him a high-ranking official in the Heavenly Court.

His promotion and the celebration for his ascension to Great Luo would be held together, scheduled for five thousand years later.

This celebration wouldn’t be small.

It would definitely take some time, especially to give guests time to prepare. It’s not something you can just hold on a whim.

With the important matters settled, for other ‘minor characters’, Zhou Chen could at most send an incarnation to deal with them.

The Red Dust Heavenly Boat transformed into Red Dust Residence.

Zhou Chen entered the residence. After being busy for so long, it was time to enjoy himself.

Qin’s Moon Garden.

Following beauties like Lady Mingzhu, Yan Ling Ji, Honglian, Zi Nü, Nong Yu, Consort Hu, and Lady Hu, the second batch of beauties sent by Ying Zheng had also grown up.

This batch of beauties was even larger in number, including the Luo Net’s top assassin, Jing Ni, the Mohist’s Xue Nü, the Physician’s Duanmu Rong, the Yin-Yang School’s Dongjun, Yue Shen, Da Siming, E Huang Nü Ying, Hei Bai Shao Siming, Shao Siming, the Daoist’s Xiaomeng, and the Nongjia’s Tian Mi.

Under Zhou Chen’s nurturing, they had all become immortals and gods.

Zhou Chen arrived without giving them any special notice to prepare. Most of them were in secluded cultivation, only Da Siming and Shao Siming happened to be around.

“This concubine, Da Siming, pays respects to Great Immortal!”

Da Siming, wearing red high heels and purple patterned stockings, with a black and red long dress, looked heroic, mature, and charming, a perfect embodiment of an older sister figure.

Shao Siming, with purple hair and purple eyes, her face covered by a veil, appeared indifferent and detached, ethereal and otherworldly. She bowed to Zhou Chen but didn’t speak, as if she were mute.

Zhou Chen, with his tall and straight figure, looked down at the two. He had to admit, the Yin-Yang School in Qin’s Moon had many beauties. He liked both of these beauties, one older and one younger, standing before him.

Zhou Chen reached out and stroked the smooth and silky hair of Da Siming and Shao Siming. The two obediently knelt before him.

Don’t be fooled by their ruthless and merciless nature in the Yin-Yang School, where they wouldn’t hesitate to kill.

But here.

Zhou Chen was their master.

“I’m feeling very passionate right now.”

Zhou Chen looked at the two and said with a smile:

“You should know what to do, right?”

Shao Siming’s cold eyes held a hint of confusion. Da Siming, after hearing Zhou Chen’s words, was stunned for a moment before a thoughtful expression appeared on her face. She glanced at Zhou Chen with her charming and cold mature face, then gathered her courage, raised her slender hands, and slowly untied Zhou Chen’s belt.

She lowered her head, submitting to him.

“Not bad!”

Zhou Chen rubbed Grand Director of Fate’s head, praising her generously.

Grand Director of Fate was originally the Yin-Yang School’s Fire Department Elder. Her hands, due to years of practicing the Yin-Yang secret art—Yin-Yang Conjoined Hand Seal, had become as crimson as flames, and displayed bizarre silver patterns. Her nails were pitch-black like ink, extremely eerie.

However, after being offered to Zhou Chen by Ying Zheng, she cultivated the divine abilities and techniques given to her by Zhou Chen, and her hands returned to normal, becoming fair and jade-like.

She walks the path of fire.

Her heart is filled with fiery passion.

Young Director of Fate, whose cold eyes seemed devoid of emotion, revealed a hint of surprise. Gradually, a blush crept onto her fair face.

She was originally the Wood Department Elder in the Yin-Yang School, proficient in wood-based magic. But at this moment, for some unknown reason, her heart felt like it was burning with fire.

The temperature in her body was rising.

Zhou Chen stroked Shao Si Ming’s head and smiled slightly. “Study hard, and if you surpass your teacher later, this Venerable One will give you a reward!”

Envy flashed in Da Si Ming’s eyes. She didn’t resist serving Zhou Chen in her heart; as an assassin of the Yin-Yang School, she was very aware of the times.

Zhou Chen was her master now, and she had experienced the greatness of cultivation.

The rewards Zhou Chen gave were great opportunities and treasures to them.

“Work hard, and I will not treat you unfairly!”

Looking at Da Si Ming’s envious eyes, Zhou Chen drew a big pie. Combining both the carrot and the stick could motivate people more.

Da Si Ming was immediately excited and worked harder.

With strength, one could do whatever they wanted.

Zhou Chen’s thoughts moved, and a golden throne condensed behind him. He spread his legs and sat majestically on it.

“You step aside first.”

Seeing that Da Si Ming’s cheeks were tired, Zhou Chen pinched her rosy cheeks.

Da Si Ming was relieved and excited, panting slightly and wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth.

Zhou Chen looked at the silent Shao Si Ming again:

“You come and replace her!”

Shao Si Ming glanced at Da Si Ming and then at Zhou Chen. She still didn’t speak but didn’t refuse Zhou Chen’s order.

After seeing Da Si Ming’s actions, she was mentally prepared.

Zhou Chen took a deep breath, rubbing Shao Si Ming’s smooth hair, and beckoned Da Si Ming to his side.

Although Da Si Ming hadn’t seen Zhou Chen these years, she had heard countless legends about him. After all, she was in Zhou Chen’s harem.

Besides cultivating, they gossiped about Zhou Chen.

They knew that Zhou Chen was a lecherous person.

She sat down beside Zhou Chen, her ample bosom pressing against his strong chest.

She heard that Zhou Chen couldn’t keep his hands idle.

He had to grab something.

Otherwise, he would go to the Nine Serenities/Underworld to investigate.

Time passed day by day.

Starting with Da Si Ming and Shao Si Ming, Zhou Chen gradually favored all the beauties in the Qin’s Moon World, including the mermaid Jing Ni, Xue Nü of the Mohist School, Duanmu Rong of the School of Medicine, Dongjun and Yue Shen of the Yin-Yang School, E Huang and Nü Ying, the black and white Shao Si Ming, Tian Mi of the Peasant School, and others.

The only one left was Xiaomeng, who had been in seclusion.

Zhou Chen didn’t force her.

He had so many beauties around him that he couldn’t enjoy them all.

Many people had to wait for thousands or even tens of thousands of years before Zhou Chen could visit them once.

Of course.

These were all marginal women who had only had a one-year relationship with Zhou Chen.

Five thousand years passed by.

In a blink of an eye.

Zhou Chen’s celebration for his promotion to Great Luo and Emperor was held.

In the Mythological World, all the celestial officials of the Heavenly Court, disciples of Jiejiao, Chan, and Ren, and other gods and Buddhas came to congratulate him.

Even Zhen Yuan Zi, the ancestor of Earth Immortals, came in person and presented him with ginseng fruit.

Zhou Chen was not only a Great Luo, but also had unlimited potential.

The name of Zhou Chen, the Romance Emperor, resounded throughout the Mythological World, becoming a true big shot.

In the past, he was only famous because of Lingbao Tianzun’s name, but the real big shots didn’t pay much attention to him.

Below Great Luo, all are ants.

Only by achieving Great Luo could one truly be free and unfettered, roam the heavens, and achieve immortality.

With a snap of his fingers, he could destroy and create worlds.

He could enjoy eternal freedom in all time and space.

The celebration ended.

Zhou Chen returned to his peaceful and leisurely daily life.

One day.

Zhou Chen left Jing Ni and found that Xiaomeng had come out of seclusion and reached the peak of the Divine Realm.

Xiaomeng’s snow-white hair was tied up, her delicate face was stunningly beautiful, her figure was curvy and voluptuous, and her light green long dress was like a blooming flower, cold and arrogant.

Seeing Zhou Chen, Xiaomeng bowed:

“Xiaomeng greets the Great Immortal.”

“You have good talent and are very suitable for cultivating the Dao!”

Zhou Chen nodded, praising her without hesitation. “But cultivating alone is not as good as cultivating together. Now that you are out of seclusion, this Venerable One will help you cultivate the Dao.”

A ripple flashed through Xiaomeng’s cold and emotionless eyes. After spending so much time in Zhou Chen’s harem, she was no longer naive.

She had also heard many people say that Zhou Chen was very good at cultivating the Dao and that one could greatly improve their cultivation and benefit endlessly from his guidance.

She was originally from the Heavenly Sect of Daoism, which focused on cultivating the Heavenly Dao and transcending the mundane world. Daoism also had the Human Sect, which advocated entering the world and embracing the mortal realm.

She was originally a firm supporter of the Heavenly Sect, but after years of cultivation, she had a vague understanding that perhaps she should also enter the mortal realm before she could truly transcend it.

Xiaomeng raised her jade hand and gently stroked the snow-white hair at her temples.

That moment of charm was like an otherworldly fairy unintentionally revealing her allure, enough to make one unforgettable.

“When the words ‘cultivating the Dao’ come out of the Great Immortal’s mouth, they always have a feeling that makes one unable to look directly.”

“That means your Dao heart is not firm enough and needs to be tempered!”

Zhou Chen gazed intently at Xiaomeng’s cold and otherworldly face, looking at her snow-white, ethereal eyebrows, and sighed.

“To be honest, your appearance is not the most beautiful in this Venerable One’s harem, but the temperament you possess makes people want to ravage you!”

Xiaomeng said lightly:

“Hmph, men!”

She sneered, knowing that her ethereal Daoist temperament, which seemed to be above the mundane world, made men want to drag her down to the mortal realm and defile her to their heart’s content.

“The flesh is just a stinking skin bag, which the Great Immortal, despite his unparalleled cultivation, still cannot see through.”

“Hmph, women!”

Zhou Chen’s lips curled up in a sneer.

She dared to act pretentious in front of him? However, he liked Xiaomeng’s pretentious and arrogant appearance. It would be even more satisfying to make her beg for mercy and crumble later.

Zhou Chen picked up Xiaomeng’s voluptuous body and forcefully kissed her red lips.

Xiaomeng’s eyes were tender and watery, still showing a woman’s instinctive reaction, but the indifferent temperament on her face did not change at all.

She seemed to be immersed in the pleasure Zhou Chen brought her, but her heart remained clear, coldly observing everything and transcending it.

Zhou Chen became even more excited.

He wanted to see how long Xiaomeng could maintain this indifferent and detached appearance, how long she could hold on.

But the sense of conquest she brought him far surpassed that of ordinary women.

Zhou Chen liked it very much.

He just wanted to ravage her fiercely.

Time passed like a sharp knife, but it could not leave any trace on Zhou Chen. He had already transcended the river of time and overlooked the passage of years.

Zhou Chen, the creator of the chat group, could also perceive it, but it was still a good little tool.

He could create one himself.

Day after day.

Zhou Chen’s life was the same as usual, and his cultivation continued to improve.

From time to time, he would also go to the Three Xiao Sisters, Holy Mother Jin Ling, Holy Mother Wu Dang, Holy Mother Gui Ling, and Queen Mother of the West for in-depth exchanges. An unknown amount of time passed.

Looking at the big shots like Queen Mother of the West and Lady Yun Xiao in his arms, Zhou Chen suddenly realized that he had become a supreme existence on the same level as his master, Lingbao Tianzun.

“Greetings to the supreme Romance Heavenly Venerable!”
