Ehereal Phoenix's Pavillion

"Your Excellency, Sect Leader, your foresight is indeed beyond us! You had already expected something like this, and that's why you already formed a good relationship with Young Lord!"

At the same time, the other Elders smiled and started to flatter the Ethereal Phoenix Sect Leader for his great foresight and ability. Although the Ethereal Phoenix Sect Leader knew the Elders were only bragging and didn't really admire him as much as they showed on their faces, he still couldn't help but feel proud of himself.

However, he still had to keep appearances and couldn't just put down the majesty of the Ethereal Phoenix Sect Leader, so he majestically waved his hand and said in a light tone, "Our Ethereal Phoenix Sect has been in a state of anxiety ever since our Supreme Elder passed away in the midst of his seclusion, and it's all thanks to Young Lord coming down to the Lower Realm for life experience that we could have a chance of having a favorable relationship with him. Instead of flattering me, all of you should thank Young Lord for his grace!"

Ethereal Phoenix Sect Leader couldn't help but feel pride as he said all those words. After all, Deus was a genuine Young Lord from the Upper Realm, with a strong identity and a terrifying background.

Except for the Elders and some of the trustworthy Inner Sect Disciples, no one else in the Ethereal Phoenix Sect knew about this matter. It was because the Ethereal Phoenix Sect Leader wanted to give a massive surprise to the various major forces.

One had to accept that Ethereal Phoenix Sect Leader was also a person of great intellect. He had long expected such a situation's appearance.

"Sect Leader, it seems that Her Royal Highness and Young Lord have been getting closer and closer over the last few days. I am afraid that if we didn't have the Holy Maiden, our Ethereal Phoenix Sect might have to face an unavoidable catastrophe this time."

"That's right, that's right! It's all thanks to the Sect Leader having a good daughter!"

All the Elders flatter with sighs of envy, and their actions only widened the Ethereal Phoenix Sect Leader's smile.

That's right! It was all thanks to his precious daughter, or else, how would nobodies like them have a chance to interact with someone as esteemed as Young Lord?

As for the disciple who came to make the report? His poor mind couldn't help but collapse out of stupefaction as he listened to the conversation between the Elders and the Ethereal Phoenix Sect Leader.

The Ethereal Phoenix Sect Supreme Elder has already died?

Is that mysterious Young Lord truly powerful beyond measure?

The disciple's head buzzed as he watched the Elders and the Ethereal Phoenix Sect Leader converse among themselves joyfully. There wasn't the least bit of panic between their brows.

"Open the gates and follow me! Let's go meet those factions that have come to our doorstep…"

Golden rays flashed past the Ethereal Phoenix Sect Leader's pupils as his aura surged and he boldly walked out to meet his adversaries.

"Young Master's words are really interesting; is the Upper Realm really that massive?"

Helene pursed her lips and asked.

At the same time, she gently rolled back her cuffs to reveal a small section of her delicate and flawless wrists, that resembled the roots of a snow lotus, to fill Deus's empty glass of tea sitting in front of her.

The stories about the Upper Realm that came out of Deus's mouth fascinated Helene.

After she let go the prejudice in her heart and contacted Deus once more, she found that the feeling of being in his company was completely different from before. Although Deus's had an extremely deep and elusive temperament, she couldn't help but be attracted to him — that's just how much undeniable charm he held towards the members of the opposite sex.

As the Holy Maiden of the Ethereal Phoenix Sect, and someone who also held two souls in her body, Helene had been hailed as an intellectual prodigy since young. Throughout the years, she had met many young talents, but none of them could compare to Deus, if she were to be honest.

To put it simply, she thought it would be an insult to Deus if those 'talents' were to be compared to him. With his handsome appearance, elusive thoughts, and majestic temperament…not many could compare to him!

Not to mention Deus had a great depth of knowledge, tolerance, conversation skills, cultivation base, and background, etc.

Even her mother said that she might not be Deus's opponent.

No matter how one looked at Deus, he was the perfect dream husband desired by many women in the world. And Helene was naturally not an exception.

Deus couldn't help but smile a little as he heard Helene's question.

"Why not go up and see for yourself how massive the Upper Realm is?"

They had been getting closer and closer over the last few days, to the point that Helene had almost opened up to him, but Deus couldn't comprehend why his Devil Value still hadn't increased.

He had already concluded that Helene's luck had nothing to with Hiro.

So, was she also a Favored Child of Heaven?

Or was it because her mother came from the Upper Realm, so she had inherited some extraordinary bloodline?

Or could she be the reincarnation of an ancient behemoth?

Even the System couldn't explain her existence.

'It seems the world doesn't lack people blessed with great Fortune who are completely different from the Favored Children of Heaven like that Hiro.'

Deus thought.

At the same time, Deus guessed that he could still use Helene to get some more dough from that leek called Hiro, since Hiro had still not given up on Helene.

"Only someone in the True Immortal Realm can break the barrier between the worlds and ascend! How can ordinary cultivators from the Lower Realm like us go to the Upper Realm so easily?"

Helene replied with regret.
