The Cloud Heaven Holy Master was absent from the Holy Land because the seal on the Heavenly Aberrant Demonic Realm had been weakened. Many powerful cultivators from the Heaven Profound Realm had rushed to the realm to reinforce the seal and explore its depths.
The Heavenly Aberrant Demonic Realm!
This was the stronghold of the Extraterrestrial Demonic Fiends millions of years ago.
In ancient times, the Heaven Profound Realm was far from peaceful. The Extraterrestrial Demonic Fiends ran rampant, ruling the entire realm and enslaving all races. The world was plunged into suffering, becoming a living hell.
During that era, countless beings became food for the fiends, and all living things lived in constant terror.
Now, after millions of years, the seal on the Heavenly Aberrant Demonic Realm had weakened.
In response, the major powers dispatched their strongest cultivators to reinforce the seal!
"That's unclear. We'll have to wait for the Holy Master to return," the Second Elder said with a sigh. "Let's hope the seal on the Heavenly Aberrant Demonic Realm has been reinforced."
Though he hadn't lived through that era himself, he was well-versed in its history through ancient texts.
If those Extraterrestrial Demonic Fiends were ever to break free from the seal, it would bring absolute disaster to the entire Heaven Profound Realm, turning it into a living hell. This was not something the Second Elder could bear to witness.
Fang Chen's expression remained calm, but he couldn't help but sigh.
He knew that the problem of the seal was fundamentally unsolvable, as the major powers and their experts were either unable or unwilling to resolve it.
The seal in the Heavenly Aberrant Demonic Realm had been left by an Emperor Realm expert. Its level was far too high for the current experts of the major powers to handle.
Even the Holy Master of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land was powerless to break it.
"Since Master is returning, the seal problem must have been resolved," Fang Chen said.
"Indeed. I also trust in the Holy Master," the Second Elder nodded. "The Donghe Immortal Mansion is about to open. After our disastrous defeat last time, this time, we must rely on you."
Donghe Immortal Mansion!
This was a secret realm left behind by an Ancient True Immortal, opening once every thousand years. Only Heavenly Pride under the age of one hundred could enter to seek opportunities.
During the last opening of the Donghe Immortal Mansion, the Human Race suffered a humiliating defeat, with not a single person entering the top ten. This brought great shame to humanity.
With the opening of the Donghe Immortal Mansion this time, the Human Race was bound to rise again and avenge their past humiliation.
Especially since this generation had produced an unprecedented number of Heavenly Prides, with an abundance of geniuses and prodigies.
Beyond the three well-known Heavenly Prides, there were numerous others who would have been among the top tier in any other era.
It could be said that this generation of Human Race Heavenly Prides was the most numerous in the past few millennia.
As a result, many powerful figures in the Human Race placed great hope in this generation of Heavenly Prides, especially the Second Elder.
Seeing Fang Chen's exceptional talent and prodigy, their expectations soared even higher.
Although the Cloud Heaven Holy Land had performed well last time, they ultimately failed to secure the championship.
Now that Fang Chen had emerged, they were certain to have a chance to win!
"Second Elder, rest assured!" Fang Chen declared with unwavering confidence. "This time, we will definitely suppress the Heavenly Prides of the Myriad Races!"
In the original story, Fang Chen performed poorly in the Donghe Immortal Mansion, allowing the Heavenly Prides of the Myriad Races to trample him underfoot. Instead, Xiao Yunting rose to prominence, slaughtering his way through the ranks and severely wounding the Myriad Races' Heavenly Prides.
This led to Fang Chen's reputation and prestige plummeting rapidly, paving the way for Xiao Yunting to eventually supplant him.
Xiao Yunting reaped immense rewards from the Donghe Immortal Mansion, laying a solid foundation for his future rise to power.
Fang Chen was determined to continue his slacking, but he needed a plausible excuse.
The Donghe Immortal Lake arc was promising. If he could successfully slacked off here, he was sure to earn generous rewards!
"Excellent, Holy Son. Your words reassure us greatly," the Second Elder said with a smile.
He patted Fang Chen's shoulder and led the other elders away.
"The Donghe Immortal Mansion..."
"How exactly should I continue slacking off?"
After the elders left, Fang Chen slumped back in his chair, lost in thought.
He had to keep slacking off!
But he couldn't disappoint the elders. They valued this opportunity greatly, and deliberately skipping it would be inexcusable.
If he went, he'd have to watch Xiao Yunting show off, which Fang Chen absolutely refused to do.
Though he had to keep slacking off, he couldn't give Xiao Yunting any opportunities to show off either.
"I'll see how it goes. If it's really impossible, I'll just have to abandon this slacking plan."
Fang Chen pondered for a moment but couldn't come up with a good solution. He decided to let things take their course.
Even though he had become the Holy Son of Slacking Off, he couldn't just slack off for the sake of slacking off.
Sometimes, he had to act. At worst, he would just miss out on this particular slacking-off reward.
*I wonder if I can cultivate Hua Mengying. If I can, I won't have to lift a finger myself.*
Fang Chen mused.
If Hua Mengying grew strong enough to handle those Heavenly Prides, he could continue slacking off.
*Is Master returning soon?*
A hint of anticipation crossed Fang Chen's face. He held great expectations for the Cloud Heaven Holy Land's Holy Master from the original story.
In the original story, this Master had been very kind to Fang Chen. If she hadn't fallen too early, Xiao Yunting wouldn't have been able to steal his Holy Son position.
The Cloud Heaven Holy Master was fiercely protective of her own. Anyone who dared to provoke her would have to shed a layer of skin, even if they were the King of Heaven himself.
If the Cloud Heaven Holy Master hadn't fallen so early, Xiao Yunting wouldn't have succeeded, no matter what schemes he employed.
"Master, rest assured. With me here, no one will harm you."
Fang Chen stood up, clasped his hands behind his back, and gazed at the sea of clouds below Holy Spirit Peak, murmuring to himself.
Holy Spirit Peak fell into tranquility once more. Fang Chen spent his days lounging leisurely in his chair, living a life of utter contentment.
Though he had once been a relentless go-getter, he now preferred this relaxed and carefree existence.
After all, the so-called "grind" was merely a means to a better life.
Now that he could live well by simply slacking off and lying flat, why would he bother grinding?
"Congratulations, Holy Son, on breaking through to the Void Return Realm!" Hua Mengying approached with a radiant smile.
"Holy Son, with your monstrous talent, how could I ever catch up now?"
"I thought I could keep pace with you, but now the gap has widened again. It's truly disheartening."
"I believe there are no geniuses in the world who can compare to you, Holy Son. You've left them all far behind."
This wasn't mere flattery. Fang Chen's cultivation speed was truly astounding. Reaching the Void Return Realm at just twenty years old was a feat rarely seen throughout history.
Even many Emperor Realm powerhouses hadn't achieved such heights in their youth.
Generally, reaching the Void Return Realm before the age of one hundred would already qualify someone as an unparalleled Heavenly Pride.
Fang Chen pinched Hua Mengying's cheek and smiled. "This is just the Void Return Realm. It's nothing special."
"And you shouldn't underestimate the geniuses of this generation. They're not to be taken lightly."
"While no one is quite like me, some have already reached the Void Return Realm by the age of thirty."
"Besides, don't envy me. With me around, I'd never let you fall behind!"
