I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

"Thank you for saving me." The nun performed a standard papal salute, a gesture that made her curves even more breathtaking.

Her face was as cold as frost, but her voice carried a unique, exotic charm, a contrast that made one's heart race.

Yue Shuang immediately reached out and covered Yun He's eyes: "Don't look at what you shouldn't see!"

Yunhe did not resist, but indicated that she would not look at anyone except Yueshuang.

Yue Shuang was satisfied with his words, but made him turn around.

This amused Li Chen, because he could tell from the whole journey that the two were probably a young couple.

To be precise, they were a secret couple who hadn't revealed their relationship.

However, Li Chen didn't point it out; it was their freedom to be in a relationship.

But Li Chen's gaze was unabashedly sweeping over the nun.

The nun seemed to notice Li Chen's gaze, but she was not embarrassed or annoyed. Her icy blue eyes looked directly at Li Chen: "I am Saint Lina of the Holy See. Thank you for saving me?"

Lina gives the impression that she doesn't care about matters between men and women, and is only focused on serving the Lord devoutly.

Li Chen chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "It's alright, but I'm very curious, why would people from the Holy See appear in the Fallen Immortal Mountains?"

Just then, Yue Shuang handed over an outer garment at an opportune moment. Lina put it on and looked at Yue Shuang gratefully.

However, Li Chen felt somewhat speechless. This little girl... well, never mind her.

Then Lina revealed her mission: to capture Prince Chet, a wanted criminal of the Eternal Day.

This matter is neither a big deal nor a small one.

In principle, cross-border manhunts should be reported to the official authorities of the country in question, and permission must be obtained before an arrest can be made on their territory.

However, the Holy See is also a sectarian power, and sectarian power is always complicated by grudges and affections, making it difficult to manage.

One thing Li Chen was certain of was that this woman named Lina was absolutely loyal to the Holy See and acted with integrity.

She could have easily come up with an excuse, but her doctrine told her not to lie to anyone.

Ordinary cultivators usually turn a blind eye to such things, since the Fallen Immortal Mountain Range is not their territory.

However, Li Chen's identity is somewhat special; he is the emperor, and the entire Tian Ce region is his territory.

You did this without my notification, are you disrespecting me?
The danger had passed, and Lina bowed deeply to Li Chen once again.

Her long, silvery-white hair shimmered softly in the moonlight, and although her tattered nun's habit was concealed by her outer garment, her graceful curves could still be vaguely seen as she walked.

Her voice was clear yet sincere: "I will never forget your life-saving grace, senior. I serve as a deacon in the Dawn Cathedral of Holy Light City. If you ever pass by in the future, please allow me to extend my hospitality."

She was seriously injured and could not stay here any longer.

As she spoke, Lina took a silver cross pendant from her neck and presented it with both hands: "With this token, the church guards will not stop you."

Li Chen took the pendant and smiled meaningfully: "I will definitely visit you when I have the chance."

Lina bowed again, and as she turned to leave, her steps were slightly unsteady, clearly indicating that her injuries were not minor.

But she still stood ramrod straight, maintaining the proud posture of a saintly figure of the Papacy.

After she walked away, Li Chen called for the two to continue on their way.

Just a few steps later, Yunhe suddenly let out a miserable scream from behind.

Yue Shuang's voice, filled with gritted teeth, followed closely: "Where are you looking? Was that nun very pretty?"

"I'm innocent! I just wanted to see if she was far enough away," Yunhe protested, then cried out in pain, "Easy! Easy! My ear's going to fall off! Senior's watching!"

Li Chen shook his head and chuckled. Even without turning around, he could imagine Yunhe being pulled around by the ear. The sounds of the young people playfully bickering were particularly crisp in the quiet forest.

"Senior." Yue Shuang caught up with a flushed face, still holding the grimacing Yun He in her hand, "Let's continue on our way."

Li Chen nodded slightly in response, but his steps never faltered.

"Hurry up, don't slow down!" Yue Shuang pushed Yun He aside and glared at him fiercely after receiving Li Chen's response.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Yunhe chuckled dryly twice and quickly strode forward.

At this moment, looking at Li Chen's back, he no longer had the desire to compete and fight as before, but instead felt more admiration and envy.

This young master Li is not only handsome but also highly skilled in cultivation. In addition, he is a member of the royal family of the Tian Ce Dynasty. The fairies who follow him must be lined up in a long queue, right? Unlike me, I can't even handle a tigress!

If I had Young Master Li's cultivation level, how dare Yue Shuang be so fierce to me? Wouldn't she obediently serve me tea and water? It's truly infuriating to compare oneself to others!

The group continued on their way, and this time they encountered no further mishaps, arriving at their destination quite smoothly.

According to the system's display, Li Chen quickly arrived near the Immortal Ruins.

At this moment, Li Chen felt the three Immortal Tokens hidden in his chest trembling slightly. With a wave of his hand, the three Immortal Tokens reappeared in the void in front of him, shimmering with a faint light.

"Boom!" The ruins seemed to respond, and for a moment the sounds of mechanisms clicking and clattering filled the air.

Once everything had calmed down, a black and gold platform engraved with ancient patterns had already appeared on the flat ground.

There are three indentations with different patterns on the platform, corresponding to the three immortal tokens.

With a wave of his hand, Li Chen accurately embedded the three immortal tokens into the platform.

The Immortal Token shimmered with light, causing the entire black-gold platform to radiate waves of light that seemed to come alive.

The sound of the mechanism turning rang out again, and the platform made of black gold began to descend, with the three Immortal Tokens popping out and returning to Li Chen's arms.

In the blink of an eye, a downward-extending blue stone staircase appeared before them.

The blue stone steps slope downwards and seem to go on forever, while luminous pearls are inlaid on both sides of the passageway, illuminating it as if it were daytime.

"Let's go." Li Chen smiled faintly, glanced back at Yue Shuang and Yun He, and then took the lead in walking down the path.

Soon, the group arrived at the end of the stairs.

Before us lies a gigantic cave, unlike the uneven and bumpy typical caves. Instead, it has been artificially smoothed out, and above it is a bright pearl that resembles the sun.

Not only are there plants and trees growing in the soil on the ground, but fish can also be seen floating in the lotus pond in the distance, giving one the illusion of being in a paradise.

In the plaza at the very center of the cave stands a giant human-shaped statue.

The statue holds a giant axe in one hand and a huge shield in the other, its face stern and imposing, as if it were a war god who has existed since time immemorial.

Behind the giant elephant were three magnificent palaces, each radiant with light and color. The tallest one in the middle, exuding an ethereal aura, was clearly the main palace.

The three strolled along and soon arrived in front of the giant elephant.

Seemingly sensing the presence of a living being, the colossus suddenly opened its eyes, exposing its scarlet, empty pupils to the air.

Dust filled the sky, and pieces of stone fell from the giant elephant. Boundless malevolent energy and power permeated the air, making Yunhe and Yueshuang seem to stand still.

"This is a celestial weapon! According to the ancient records of the Guixu Wuyai Sect, it possesses strength no less than that of a Saint!"
This is a test for those who enter; anyone who gets close will be attacked indiscriminately! We need a concealment talisman, otherwise…” Yue Shuang trembled, but before she could finish speaking, Li Chen casually swung his palm, and the enormous elephant suddenly cracked, turning into countless fragments that collapsed violently.

"Is this a test? You can just use a concealment talisman? You should have said so earlier next time! You won't fail if you break it, will you?" Li Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.

Yue Shuang and Yun He stood there, their eyes wide open, momentarily forgetting to dodge the stones falling from the shattered giant elephant.

Holy crap? You killed that in a second? Aren't Immortal Soldiers supposed to be at the Saint Realm? What realm are you at, bro?!
