Hearing this name, Chen Lan was taken aback.

Tao Tian Demon Venerable?

Wasn't that a name Da Zhuang mentioned before?

"Let him in," Chen Lan said.

He didn't expect Tao Tian Demon Venerable to come looking for him himself.

"Yes."

After saying this, Master Qingxuan left the Sect Leader's hall, and in a short while, an elder appeared at the doorway.

Chen Lan looked at this elder, yet he couldn't see through his cultivation realm.

"The Deceitful Sky Curtain indeed lives up to its reputation," Chen Lan remarked with a light smile.

Upon hearing this, Tao Tian Demon Venerable's body shook, his eyes slowly widening in surprise, "How did you know I have the Deceitful Sky Curtain!"

"Speak, what is it you want from me," Chen Lan didn't answer the question, speaking calmly.

Tao Tian Demon Venerable furrowed his brow, he didn't think this supreme emperor before him would be so terrifying, able to see that he possessed the Deceitful Sky Curtain.

To know, this is the strongest concealing treasure among Magical Treasures, able to shield from the Heavenly Dao and those prying eyes, yet unable to hide from Chen Lan's eyes!

"I didn't expect such a supreme emperor to appear in this New World, and so young," Tao Tian Demon Venerable lamented.

He had been asleep for a long time, barely having awakened, his memories still sealed, if not for Chen Lan's outburst of pressure today restoring his memory, he might have still thought himself an ordinary person even now.

"I came to find you to seek allegiance," Tao Tian Demon Venerable answered honestly.

In the New World, encountering a supreme emperor, how miraculous it is, in the old world even a Great Emperor was absent, and even the Celestial Emperor rose and quickly fell.

Hearing this, Chen Lan slightly frowned, looking up and down, a smirk forming at the corner of his mouth, "Since pledging allegiance, why not speak openly?"

"I'm sorry, it's my problem." Hearing this, Tao Tian Demon Venerable immediately realized his mistake.

If coming to pledge allegiance, why still wear the Deceitful Sky Curtain.

After speaking, he took off the treasure, a Magical Treasure similar to a transparent cloak, effective once draped over the shoulders.

With the Deceitful Sky Curtain removed, Chen Lan could see through Tao Tian Demon Venerable's cultivation.

It was actually a half-step Celestial Emperor realm.

"Half-step Celestial Emperor, not bad," Chen Lan slightly nodded.

But Tao Tian Demon Venerable sighed, "Alas, after thousands of years, I've still not become a Celestial Emperor."

Back then, upon breaking through to Immortal Emperor, he always wanted to break through stronger to Celestial Emperor, yet the Heaven and Earth Laws did not allow it, unable to become Celestial Emperor.

Then using the Deceitful Sky Curtain to escape world reincarnation, he fell into slumber, only having awakened a week earlier.

The loss of memory made him think he was a normal person, until Chen Lan's pressure explosion triggered his memory, letting him remember.

"This world's Heaven and Earth Laws have perfected, you can become Celestial Emperor, why seek allegiance with me?" Chen Lan questioned.

Though he is a supreme emperor, he didn't think a half-step Celestial Emperor like Tao Tian Demon Venerable would easily submit.

"Though I am now half-step Celestial Emperor, my days are numbered," Tao Tian Demon Venerable sighed and then explained the story.

It turns out, when escaping the world's reincarnation, he sought an array called the Lifespan Concealing Heaven Array for insurance.

One can set up an array to obscure heavenly secrets using lifespan, to shield from the Heavenly Dao and prying almighty eyes, avoiding interference.

The array, though powerful, needs lifespan rather than material tools or Spiritual Power for activation.

Thus, to let this array shield prying eyes, he infused nearly all of his lifespan, leaving only over five hundred years for himself.

Unexpectedly, under divine punishment, the array was destroyed, though he didn't die, once the array was destroyed, the sleeping him couldn't maintain his original lifespan.

Luckily, he awoke after five hundred years.

Unfortunately, now he only had one year of lifespan left.

"Then what do you want me to help with, breaking through the realm?" Chen Lan inquired in confusion.

With only one year of cultivation remaining, what could be done, asking him to use Spiritual Power to break through to Celestial Emperor?

He felt powerless, and even if he could, why help?

"No, I need your help, I want to tomb raid."

"Hmm?" Chen Lan was stunned.

Someone on the verge of breaking through to Celestial Emperor telling him they want to tomb raid?

How humiliating this is.

"Tomb raid?"

"Yes, back ten thousand years ago, right after breaking through to Immortal Emperor, while traveling the Profound Dust Realm, I found a cave residence at a place, seemingly once inhabited by an Immortal Emperor, yet back then I couldn't open the door."

"So I left a Divine Sense mark, after ten thousand years passed, reaching half-step Celestial Emperor, I went back, still couldn't open it!"

"I suspect the cave was once inhabited by a Celestial Emperor, possibly not from the Profound Dust Realm!"

Not from the Profound Dust Realm?

Chen Lan was slightly surprised, could it be, a Celestial Emperor fallen from above?

If so, then he's interested now, perhaps he could find something inside.

"Still not enough." Chen Lan shook his head, not immediately agreeing with Tao Tian Demon Venerable.

"I know, I just need lifespan supplements or cultivation-boosting elixirs or spirit herbs and grasses, everything else including Magical Treasures, all will be yours, I want none!"

"Additionally, I can swear by Heavenly Dao to be eternally loyal to you, or let you imprint a Soul Brand."

Tao Tian Demon Venerable's attitude was earnest, visibly, he desperately wanted to live, now the only one who can help him is Chen Lan.

"Alright." Chen Lan nodded, having another Celestial Emperor as a subordinate, why not?

After saying this, he pointed a finger, a Soul Dao Power instantly burrowed into Tao Tian Demon Venerable's sea-consciousness, embedding a Soul Brand deep within his soul.

The process went smoothly, as Tao Tian Demon Venerable didn't resist.

From then on, Chen Lan would have control over Tao Tian Demon Venerable's life, command him to death, and he wouldn't survive.

Moreover, he'd know Tao Tian Demon Venerable's thoughts and memories, also understanding the location of that cave residence.

Tao Tian Demon Venerable didn't deceive him, indeed there was such a place, only after the world reincarnation, its appearance had changed, now the cave is situated in Buddha Country.

"Depart tomorrow," Chen Lan said calmly.

At present, he had more important tasks to pursue.

"Yes, master."

After speaking, Tao Tian Demon Venerable left of his own accord, and Chen Lan left the Sect Leader's hall, returning to the Giant Race territory.

Currently, the Giant Race couldn't be led out, waiting for the new sect's arrangements before taking them away.

Simultaneously, above in the sky, the Spirit Pet Golden List had reached the top three.

The much-anticipated ranking.

[Third Place, Water Fairy, Celestial-level Mount: Nine Heavens Celestial Fox]

[Reward: Heaven-Destroying Divine Thunder Talisman, Random Emperor Level Spirit Pet]

Thus, it is evident, the next Golden List is likely the Spirit Pet Golden List.
