Chapter 234 Demon Kingdom
Ren Qingyan slowly said, "Recently, a secret realm has opened, containing many rare and precious treasures, including high-grade medicinal herbs that can help one enter the Immortal Realm. However, there are quite a few people vying for it this time. I am also preparing to enter it. If you are interested..."
Let's go together.
Upon hearing her voice, Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and then shook his head: "There are too many things going on in the Void Realm right now, I can't leave, although there shouldn't be anyone coming to cause trouble in the Guixu Heavenly Dynasty anymore."
But the Divine Universe Dynasty will not stop.
Actually, there's another reason: Lu Yuan possesses rare and precious materials that can enhance his strength, so there's no need for him to gamble the future of his sect by going out to find them.
Hearing him say that, Ren Qingyan's face showed a hint of regret, and then she said, "Alright, the Divine Universe Dynasty is indeed a problem, but don't worry, with my Guixu Dynasty as a deterrent, they shouldn't have any experts above the Immortal level."
At most, they'll be at the Immortal Realm, but if there are too many, it'll eventually become a problem. Be careful.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness," Lu Yuan said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.
Ren Qingyan nodded nonchalantly, then said with a smile, "I came here this time to solve a problem for you, won't you treat me to a meal?"
As she spoke, a hint of playfulness appeared on her face.
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Of course, but this place is a bit simple."
Looking down, the disciples of the Evergreen Sect Master have already begun to clean up the mining area.
It has now been largely accepted.
While they can eat without problems, they certainly can't cook anything fancy.
Ren Qingyan didn't mind: "Just sit anywhere. Do you really think I'm craving your food? Let's get some wine and have a drink."
Without hesitation, Lu Yuan immediately led Ren Qingyan and the other person down below.
At this moment, the First Elder and the Fifth Elder also came forward and bowed to Ren Qingyan, saying, "Greetings, Crown Princess."
Lu Yuan dared to talk and laugh in front of this Crown Princess of Guixu, but they certainly didn't.
Not to mention that their strength has already reached the Immortal Realm, making them even stronger than me, their status is also top-notch.
The Crown Princess of the Guixu Heavenly Dynasty—her nobility needs no further explanation.
Seeing their reaction, Ren Qingyan nodded and said, "There's no need for such formalities, everyone."
Although her voice wasn't particularly cold, it was nowhere near as cold as her attitude towards Lu Yuan.
After all, Ren Qingyan wasn't always so easy to talk to.
Having been raised as the Crown Princess since childhood, she naturally possesses considerable authority.
And as soon as she finished speaking...
Lu Yuan then said, "Let's go. Although this mining area has just been cleared out, cooking should still be no problem. I happen to have some ingredients here."
As he spoke, everyone had already arrived in the kitchen. Lu Yuan took out a piece of beast meat and instructed someone to prepare it.
At the same time, I grabbed some snacks to go with my drinks.
He sat down at the stone table outside.
Ren Qingyan didn't stand on ceremony and sat down next to him.
Seeing this, the elders wisely left.
He took out a flask of wine from his spatial ring and poured it for himself and Ren Qingyan.
Lu Yuan looked up and said, "Guixu Heavenly Dynasty and Shenyu Heavenly Dynasty are so powerful, they shouldn't be eyeing my Kongling Domain, right? Why did the two Heavenly Dynasty families come over as soon as the demon race left?"
Besides the power struggle between the two sides, I think there must be other things involved, right?
Lu Yuan took a sip of wine and asked softly.
Ren Qingyan looked at him and didn't hide anything. Instead, she said calmly, "In the eyes of the Changqing Sect Master, there are only the Shenyu Heavenly Dynasty and the Guixu Heavenly Dynasty, because the Kongling Domain is sandwiched between the two dynasties."
But from our perspective, it's a different story.
The Divine Universe Dynasty is adjacent to the Lion Camel Dynasty. It is a demon-based dynasty with immense power.
Over the years, the Divine Universe Empire has suffered considerable oppression.
The party in a completely weak position can only barely protect itself.
Our Guixu Heavenly Dynasty also has rivals, namely the Qing Clan, also known as the Qingqiu Kingdom.
Equally formidable.
Among humans, only those who attain sainthood and create a sacred land can protect their territory from invasion by demons.
However, among the billions of human beings, the number of saints can be counted on one hand.
The number of people that can be sheltered is limited, so most humans are just trying to survive in the cracks.
Both the Divine Universe Celestial Dynasty and the Void Returning Celestial Dynasty could not escape this fate.
When Ren Qingyan said this, there was a hint of helplessness on her face.
In the eyes of those powerful forces, aren't they just another Evergreen Sect?
Then, he continued to Lu Yuan, "Although the Void Spirit Domain is small, it has a lot of resources. Now that such a large area is vacant, naturally some people will want to take it. Even a mosquito's leg is still meat."
If we can get it, it's better than nothing.
Therefore, if the lower-ranking officials want it, the higher-ups in the court won't object.
Ren Qingyan's words made Lu Yuan nod in agreement; it was indeed true, but he hadn't expected it.
Even the two Celestial Empires are in such a sorry state.
Seeing that Lu Yuan seemed unconvinced, Ren Qingyan continued, "Your Void Realm is situated between two celestial dynasties. Although you suffer some oppression, the human race here is relatively fortunate."

The border region between the two celestial dynasties and the demon race was truly a living hell.
At night, no one dared to go out, and during the day, the sky was shrouded in a blood mist.
There used to be a large army stationed there, constantly fighting against the demon race.
The blood mist stretched for tens of thousands of miles.
The first time I went there, I was so scared that my face turned pale.
I almost threw up.
Lu Yuan frowned. If what Ren Qingyan said was true, then Changqing Sect could indeed be considered fortunate.
"That's why the two celestial dynasties attach so much importance to human prodigies. It's because the demon race is so powerful that we can only try our best to maintain it. Only by producing a true prodigy who can sweep across a region can we alleviate the current pressure." Ren Qingyan sighed after saying this.
Lu Yuan nodded and looked at her, saying, "No matter what, I will remember this favor. If you ever need anything in the future, I will definitely do my best to help."
Ren Qingyan smiled and said, "That's good, cheers."
As he spoke, he raised his glass.
The two talked a lot in the mining area, including things that Lu Yuan didn't know before, basically anything that wasn't too important.
Ren Qingyan spoke frankly and without reservation about almost everything she knew.
Lu Yuan wrote them all down.
After all, these experiences could become valuable lessons for survival if one were to travel in the future.
Ren Qingyan didn't leave until it was almost dark.
Lu Yuan followed the Grand Elder and the others towards the sect.
Upon returning to the Changqing Sect, the first thing Lu Yuan did was not to report to Li Changqing, as the First Elder and Fifth Elder had already done so.
He headed straight for the back mountain of the sect.
He was preparing to meet his master.
He had some thoughts he wanted to share with the other party.
Lu Yuan wanted to know if the demon kingdom that Ren Qingyan spoke of was truly as she described.
If it's true, he wants to go to the border for training after the matters of the Divine Universe Dynasty are resolved.
After all, one's strength can only be continuously improved in battle.
