The Heavenly Dao World.

It resembled any typical xianxia realm: floating continents, abundant spiritual qi, and landscapes reminiscent of fantasy.

Depending on the location, different natural phenomena would manifest.

The sole similarity among these places was the presence of organizations that controlled specific areas.

These could be clans, sects, merit-based organizations, or even groups of demons.

Nameless took his time to relish the exhilarating life of a protagonist, an experience he had never had before. There was no rush, given that this world was sealed.

As his gaze swept across the entirety of the Heavenly Dao World, he charted a path for himself.

He had no intention of revisiting places he had already been to; he simply aimed to fulfill his wish list and alleviate his boredom.

Upon leaving the dead zone, they arrived at the southernmost region of the Heavenly Dao World.

This place was a sea, but it was known as the Southern Sea instead of the Endless Sea.

Contrary to expectation, the ruler of the Southern Sea wasn't of the dragon race; instead, it was governed by the jellyfish race.

Leading the domain was a Zenith Heaven Immortal—the pinnacle of cultivation in this world.

The Jellyfish Empress herself was at the seventh zenith, yet her strength alone was sufficient for her clan to dominate the entire southern sea.

The sea's beauty lay in its crystal-clear water surface that offered a view of the underwater scenery.

Various demons with partly human bodies could be seen swimming around, preoccupied with their own affairs.

The majority of these beings were naturally jellyfish demons—possessing human upper bodies while their lower halves remained as jellyfish tentacles.

The females retained their umbrella-like shape as elegant skirts, while the males bunched their tentacles together to form pairs of legs.

There were also crab demons, shrimp demons, and various types of fish demons.

"Conceal your aura," Nameless commanded his two followers, urging them to hide their auras. He sought to create a scenario where others would overlook the true extent of their abilities—a situation that could be avoided if the main character employed a fraction of their intellect to manage their appearance.

As for Nameless himself, he saw no need to alter his appearance. With his celestial countenance, even in simple robes, he would stand above the rest.

Thus, it depended on whether anyone would be naive enough to accept that he possessed no cultivation level, given that he only displayed a mortal aura.

With this in mind, he led his two companions to glide above the sea at a normal pace.

Since the inhabitants of the Heavenly Dao world followed a circumstantial path of cultivation, they remained unfamiliar with the auras of old-world cultivation.

As the trio didn't see fit to mask themselves beyond their auras, it didn't take long before they attracted attention.

A surge of water cascaded upward as five demons emerged into view.

Three were jellyfish demons—the one in the lead a handsome young man. He was followed by two beautiful women, each radiating a unique aura.

The other two demons were an octopus demon and a shark demon.

The octopus demon possessed an octopus head atop a human male body, while the shark demon resembled a humanoid shark.

Without engaging in dialogue, the shark demon advanced and bellowed, "Halt!"

Amusement welled within Nameless, though he maintained a passive demeanor, keenly observing their actions.

In response to the command, Nameless ceased his flight, his two followers trailing behind him.

The handsome young jellyfish demon didn't spare Nameless a glance; instead, he appraised Nameless's companions with an air of superiority.

Meanwhile, the other two jellyfish demons found themselves entranced by Nameless's appearance. However, recognizing their roles as mere attendants to their young master, they restrained their impulses.

On the contrary, the octopus demon, known for his eccentric tastes, breathed heavily, his gaze fixed upon Nameless's celestial beauty.

He sent a voice transmission to the leading jellyfish demon. "Young master, you don’t interested in that human male, right? Would you consider granting him to me?"

Naturally, Nameless could hear this voice transmission, and a sense of disgust washed over him. Yet, he chose silence, merely observing the unfolding spectacle.

Upon hearing his subordinate's request for the male human, the young master jellyfish finally shifted his gaze slightly towards Nameless. He nodded before responding.

"He's not bad. My fifth aunt fancies attractive pets, so I cannot relinquish him to you. However, I will give you a reward later," he declared openly, disregarding any secrecy in his tone.

Suppressing the urge to investigate this 'fifth aunt' through his authority, Nameless at last had the chance to truly assess the young master's character.

‘Not bothering to inquire about others' backgrounds, nor taking precautions. A genuine young master, indeed. Having been indulged throughout his life, he's oblivious to the perils of this world. It's fortunate for him to have crossed paths with me,’ Nameless contemplated.

"Human, do you not heed my young master's words?" the shark demon, acting as the barking dog, repeated once more.

Nameless smiled, abstaining from delving deeply into the young master's background. He desired to unravel the layers of this enigmatic figure.

‘These individuals are still in the Void Amalgamation realm. Despite the young master concealing his true cultivation level of Tribulation Ascension, there's no need to intimidate him, right?’ Nameless pondered.

Hence, Nameless adjusted his aura to resemble the Soul Formation realm. It was but one significant level beneath the Void Amalgamation realm.

"And who might you be?" he inquired, maintaining basic decency.

‘You two, alter your auras to match the Tribulation Ascension realm,’ Nameless commanded his two companions to adjust their auras.

In response, a trove of information flowed into their consciousness, elucidating the cultivation path of this Heavenly Dao world.

Unaware of their master's intentions, the two followers complied with his directive.

Subsequently, a fresh wave of information flooded their minds, detailing the renowned play of pig eating tiger and the invisible Mount Tai.

Xia Yue, unflinching outwardly, couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

As for Qiu Yue, she wished to aid her savior, only to feel more powerless upon realizing that there was no one who posed a threat to him. Consequently, she found herself relegated to playing her role.

‘At the very least, in this play, I can assist my savior.’

"How dare a mere Void Amalgamation demon stand before me?" Xia Yue, with her overbearing demeanor, found no need to feign her attitude. For her, aside from her master and her fellow disciples, everything else was beneath consideration.

With no restraint, she launched an immediate attack. Conjuring fire upon her palm, she propelled it forward.

The fire metamorphosed into a graceful flower, homing in on the group of five.

In doing so, she exhibited the might of a formidable expert within the Tribulation Transcendent realm.

The shark demon experienced astonishment upon sensing the Tribulation Transcendent aura emanating from the red-haired woman. Bracing himself, he assumed the role of protector for his young master.

The two jellyfish maids trembled in fear, struck by shock.

However, the young master exhibited no discernible reaction; instead, he extracted an item from his spatial ring. It proved to be a pearl with a polished surface, encapsulating a spectrum of five colors.

Infusing his qi into the pearl, he summoned water to counter Xia Yue's attack.

It barely held its ground against the assault.

Excitement gleamed within the young master's eyes as he gauged Xia Yue's formidable power. His aspiration to conquer her swelled.

Discreetly, he requested reinforcements.

Then, with a casual wave of his hand, he declared, "How dare you attack members of my Jellyfish race within the Southern Sea! With this transgression you can forget about leaving this place alive."

His proclamation resounded with righteousness as he withdrew further artifacts from his spatial rings, distributing them among his subordinates.

"Seize them all!" he commanded, attributing a renewed sense of courage to his underlings. These artifacts were of the Tribulation Transcendent tier—five apiece. Furthermore, they harbored the belief that their young master possessed even more potent immortal artifacts.

Internally sighing, Qiu Yue embraced her moment to shine. She projected an icy countenance while orchestrating a wave of pale white qi.

Unswayed by her attack, the resolute octopus demon and shark demon retaliated with their newfound strength.

Yet, as their assault encountered the pale white qi, fear petrified their expressions, and life slipped from their bodies.

Now, it was Nameless's turn. "Young man, do you not know that there is heaven above heaven? Now I will show you what its mean"

He retained the benevolence befitting his lofty status.
