"Alright, I got it."
Du Feng felt inexplicably depressed. He didn't feel any joy from killing the White Bone General. Logically speaking, he should have been able to fight against the White Bone General with his own strength. After becoming a demon, he had even destroyed a few small hells together. That should have been something to be happy about.
Actually, what Du Feng was thinking now was that he wasn't strong enough. He was already invincible among those at the level of the Ultimate Emperor Realm, and could even fight against Celestial Realm experts. But when the human world really faced a crisis, he still couldn't easily deal with it.
He checked the White Bone Banner, and Xiao Jingshan's soul was indeed gone. He didn't need to guess to know that the Realm Guardian had taken it away. It looked like he wouldn't be able to find out about that secret.
In the next few months, Du Feng didn't go out at all. After his body recovered, he cultivated in the house. The rest of the time, he accompanied Alchemy Emperor to refine medicine, further improving his alchemy skills.
"Brother Du, come."
Until one day, Emperor Nan sent a message to Du Feng, saying that he was inviting him to the Fourth Heaven to watch him challenge the Heavenly Gate.
"Alright, I'll be there right away."
During this period of time, Du Feng had been staying in the house for a long time, and it had caused him to feel suffocated. He could take advantage of this opportunity to go to the Fourth Heaven to relax. Actually, there was another question that he was very curious about. Where in the Fourth Heaven did the Realm Guardian stay. Thus, every time the Realm Guardian attacked from the Fourth Heaven, no one could see his true body.
When Du Feng arrived at the Fourth Heaven, Emperor Nan was already there. The Demon Emperor and Kenji were also there. There was also Canyang, Waning Moon, Fu Yan, and Fu Xi. This was really a grand occasion. Aside from the people that Du Feng knew, there was also a large group of Ultimate Emperor Realm martial artists present to watch.
"Uncle Nan, you're really popular."
When the Sword Emperor and Zhuo Donglai had challenged the Heavenly Gate, very few people had been invited to watch. This time, when Emperor Nan challenged the Heavenly Gate, many warriors from various continents, islands of various sizes, and Kun Mountain had come.
"Brother Du, don't laugh at me. I reckon that you'll have to come and challenge the Gate of Heaven soon."
Du Feng called Emperor Nan "Uncle," and Emperor Nan called him "Little Brother." The seniority of these two was really messy.
"There are so many people here, why aren't you starting?"
Du Feng looked at the scene. There were more than thirty martial artists. There were more peak Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators in the human world than he had imagined. Even when the White Bone General was wreaking havoc, no one knew where these people went.
"Wait a little longer, a few more friends are coming."
Uh … When Emperor Nan said this, Du Feng was also speechless. It was said that the Southern Fist and the Northern Leg, but Emperor Nan was best at fist techniques. But now, it seemed that he should be best at socializing. Almost all of the peak Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators in the world had become his friends.
As expected, after a while, another group of people arrived. When this group appeared, the eyes of almost all the warriors present lit up, including the Demon Emperor, who had already reached the Heaven Tier. Because the five peak Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators who had come were all women.
Among the five women, four of them were attractive young married women, and only one of them looked like a girl. Most of the male peak Ultimate Emperor Realm warriors present were not young anymore, so they were more interested in the young married women.
"Uncle Nan, you're really something!"
Du Feng nodded at Emperor Nan, smiling ambiguously. Normally, they would not even see a single peak Ultimate Emperor Realm female warrior, but Emperor Nan had called five of them over at once. The most interesting thing was that four of them were still attractive young women, and the young girl looked a little like him.
"Brother Nan, I'm convinced."
The Demon Emperor walked over and patted Emperor Nan's shoulder, smiling ambiguously at him. Matters between men were tacit, and everything was understood without words. Emperor Nan, who was so famous for his righteousness, had a side that no one knew about. Of course, no one thought that he was bad, just envious or jealous.
"Friends, all good friends."
Emperor Nan felt a little embarrassed being stared at by everyone, and quickly explained that the female warriors were all his good friends.
"Understood, we all understand."
This was the first time that Du Feng and the Demon Emperor had such a tacit understanding. Even the words they said were exactly the same. They expressed that they understood Emperor Nan's situation, and that they understood.
Since ancient times, beauties had loved heroes. For a hero like Emperor Nan, who had been famous for so many years, how could he not have a few confidantes? According to Du Feng's observation, one of the four young married women should be Emperor Nan's spouse, and the girl should be his daughter. As for the other three young married women, they could be his friends or sisters-in-law.
It was reasonable for Emperor Nan not to admit his wife and daughter to outsiders. He had been famous for many years, and he had many friends, but at the same time, he had many enemies. Although these five women were all at the great perfection of the Ultimate Emperor Realm in the Cultivation, their strength was very different from those at the same Cultivation level.
They were all at the great perfection of the Ultimate Emperor Realm in the Cultivation level, but these five female warriors combined were not enough to defeat Du Feng with one hand. Emperor Nan hid their identities because he considered that after he ascended to the Heaven Realm, they would have no one to protect them. But at the same time, he did not want them to miss the opportunity to watch him challenge the Heaven Gate, so he called them over.
"Everyone is here, I'm going to start."
Emperor Nan looked at one of the young married women, and then at the young woman. Although he pretended to be indifferent, the gentleness in his eyes could not be hidden. If they said that they were not his wife and daughter, Du Feng would be the first to not believe it.
"Open the Heaven Gate!"
Emperor Nan roared, so loud that everyone's ears hurt a little. With this roar, two vermilion Heaven Gates that had merged together appeared out of thin air. Then, a Heavenly Soldier stood beside the Heaven Gate.
"Are you the one who wants to challenge the Heaven Gate?"
The Heavenly Soldier glanced at everyone present and finally locked on to Emperor Nan. There were only two people who had reached the Celestial Realm. One was Emperor Nan, and the other was the Demon Emperor. Under normal circumstances, demonic cultivators would ascend to the Demon Realm and not return to the Heaven Realm, so it should be Emperor Nan.
"It's me!"
Emperor Nan's attitude was neither servile nor overbearing. One could not be too lowly in front of a Heavenly Soldier, or else one would be looked down upon. But one could not be too arrogant, or else it would be easy to find fault with them.
"Very well, I'll check first."
This time, the situation was a little different. The Heavenly Soldier actually took out a jade scroll and checked something on it. After reading it, he smiled slightly, and his attitude towards Emperor Nan improved.
"Lord Nan, you can start."
What? Everyone present was stunned. What was going on? Why was the Heavenly Soldier's attitude so good? Emperor Nan himself was a little confused, because he did not have any strong connections in the Heaven Realm. In theory, the Heavenly Soldier would not respect him. But since they allowed him to challenge, then it should be right.
"Wait, there's one more thing."
