CHAPTER 2022: CHAPTER 725: MISFORTUNATE GHOST_1

Owen Bertram quickly confirmed that it was a counterfeit seal.

It was because the real one was in Owen’s hand. This was an imitation of the Green Treasure Seal. Although it was a counterfeit, it emitted a huge vitality which deceived countless Starry Space Behemoths. Moreover, not only did they mutate, but they also crazily gave birth to offspring.

In One Heaven, every Binding Seal Beast was in pain, but the Star Space Behemoths were unaware of the situation. This treasure, which held "Authority" power, made them pursue it at all costs.

With the treasure seal, the Star Beasts were nothing in their eyes.

Owen did not know how the Water Mirror Demon managed to forge this counterfeit seal. If he hadn’t seen the real one for comparison, he probably would have been deceived the first time he saw it.

However, Owen could also feel that the "Authority" power of the counterfeit seal was quickly diminishing, indicating a very short duration.

"The Water Mirror Demon wanted me to return the Green Treasure Seal to its rightful position - that must be the reason. Returning it would make it easier for the Water Mirror Demon to obtain the treasure seal."

"But in the end, I took the treasure seal, and it had to make a fake one."

"So, does that count as me completing the task for the deal between the Water Mirror Demon and me?"

Owen quickly figured it out: yes.

If it didn’t count, the Water Mirror Demon wouldn’t let it go easily, and it would definitely try to redirect the backlash of Cause and Effect onto Owen himself.

It was just the Water Mirror Demon’s own fault. It had only mentioned the ambiguous term "Returning to Position," which could be interpreted in many ways.

Owen chuckled: "This is the disadvantage of not being able to foresee the future." If Water Mirror had known the outcome, it would have specified the conditions for completing the task in the first place.

But what use would the Water Mirror Demon have for the strongest Star Space Behemoth? Pursuing immense combat power? The Water Mirror Demon’s own combat power must be extraordinary as well.

Owen secretly shook his head, unable to guess the deeper intentions behind it. However, there was no doubt that he had once again disrupted the Water Mirror Demon’s important plan. In the future, the relationship between the two of them would definitely turn from collaboration to enmity, and Owen would need to be on guard!

Owen asked Immortal Xuanyuan Pei: "What are your plans after this?"

Xuanyuan Pei replied: "Naturally, return to the Heaven Realm and strive to maintain the balance and stability there."

With the crisis in Starfall Palace resolved, Immortal Xuanyuan’s clan would return to their old profession of being the "Heaven Realm Police."

Owen said: "Do us a favor and protect us for three months."

Xuanyuan Pei readily agreed.

His Majesty King Monroe went into seclusion first. The two Starry Space Behemoths were enough for him to advance his own realm to the Immortal Venerable Realm, and also establish his first Immortal Country.

To Owen’s surprise, King Monroe’s first Immortal Country was a Puppet Immortal Country.

In this Immortal Country, there were countless Great Tombs, and each Great Tomb nurtured a powerful puppet. The longer the nurturing time, the more powerful the Immortal Puppet would be. In theory, each puppet could reach the combat power of an Immortal Venerable.

It only took King Monroe seven days to exit seclusion. When he found that Owen was looking at his Immortal Country with a strange expression, King Monroe’s face turned slightly red and he quietly explained: "I didn’t know why, but when I was establishing my Immortal Country, I suddenly remembered that I had spent sixty years building a mausoleum in the Lower Realm."

Then it was Owen’s turn to enter seclusion, and King Monroe, who had already reached the Immortal Venerable Realm, was his protector. The perimeter was guarded by the Xuanyuan Immortal Clan.

Owen took a relatively long time. First, he fused the Spiritual Focus Bead into himself, and then refined three other exotic treasures. As long as he could "demand" an Immortal Country from other Immortal Venerables, Owen would be able to advance to the Six Country Immortal Venerable in the shortest amount of time.

At this point, Owen needed to start planning his Seven Treasures of Immortal Sovereigns.

Owen had asked Xuanyuan Pei for a favor: to protect him for three months. Owen’s seclusion lasted for a full five months, and Xuanyuan Pei had been guarding him all along.

After Owen left seclusion, Xuanyuan Pei presented him and King Monroe with Immortal Communication Talismans, and they each left Starfall Palace separately.

King Monroe was disheartened, and Owen always felt that something was off: "Xuanyuan Pei didn’t even want to talk to you before, why would she actively give you an Immortal Communication Talisman?"

King Monroe proudly said: "Now that I am an Immortal Venerable, how can she not look up to me?"

Owen shook his head and didn’t bother probing further. King Monroe secretly breathed a sigh of relief that he had bluffed his way through.

Of course, King Monroe devoted himself wholeheartedly to protecting Owen for those five months! Regardless of who asked about it, King Monroe’s answer was the same: Owen Bertram is my Royal Brother, his business is my business!

It’s just that King Monroe occasionally offered Xuanyuan Pei advice, helping her deal with some clan matters as a mere gesture of goodwill, not taking up much time at all.

In fact... King Monroe had put his administrative skills to the fullest, and in the past months, he had exhausted every thought and resource to help Xuanyuan Pei develop a massive and detailed plan.

As long as Xuanyuan Pei followed the plan, she would definitely be able to grow and strengthen the Xuanyuan Immortal Clan.

King Monroe had also painstakingly selected capable ministers from the Xuanyuan Immortal Clan to assist Xuanyuan Pei in accomplishing her plan.

Upon reflection, King Monroe realized that he had never put so much effort into his own dynasty...

Owen dragged King Monroe back to the Heaven Realm.

The Tri-Elemental Flame Essence had arrived in the hands of the Water Divine Emperor. In recent months, the temporary controller of the "Healing" Divine Authority, the Medical Saint, had been working diligently to study it. When the Divine Emperor got the Tri-Elemental Flame Essence, he actually found a way to use it to awaken the God of Construction!

The moment the God of Construction opened his eyes, the Medical Saint saw a hint of approval in the Divine Emperor’s eyes and sighed a breath of relief.
