Supreme Tamer

Seven Elders represent the highest decision-making status in the seven halls. A figure like an Elder has a position in World City that is infinitely close to that of Li Hong, the ruler of the World Throne. Even many of the Soul Hall Elders are highly respected, and people on the throne could be their junior counterparts.

So, even the one who achieves the title of King for ten years must show some respect to elders of such level.

Similarly, the status of the Nightmare Demon Palace Elders is like this as well. Many times, when an Elder needs to criticize the mistakes made by the young Demon Emperor, the latter would have to listen with his head lowered.

Whether they are Nightmare Demon Palace Elders or Soul Hall Elders, they represent the pinnacle of strength, authority, and prestige in this world. The gap between an Elder-level expert and an Elder is just one step, but the significance of this difference is immense.

As for the unique Venerable Positions in the Soul Hall, they seem to be equal to the Elders, yet, in reality, they are venerated by the Seven Great Elders, fourteen Elders, and twenty-One Palace Masters of Soul Hall. They never interfere with Soul Hall affairs, and they never participate in the decision-making process. However, those in the Venerable Positions are always the most mysterious and noble existences in Soul Hall.

Even the Demon Emperor would not dare to provoke those in the Venerable Positions. This is not only believed by the highest ranks of the Nightmare Demon Palace but also by the high ranks of other forces!

“Is this Chu Chen kid the child of Chen Zun?” Elder Ye Tao’s voice was no longer as coarse as before.

Ye Tao is one of the four highest ranked Elders, with a higher position than ordinary Elders. But when it comes to the Venerables, his face changes.

“Don’t bother asking about this. His identity may not be public, but he is protected by Soul Hall. If you have the ability, just let the second-tier young generation of your Nightmare Demon Palace defeat Chu Chen legitimately. If you want to use special means, we, the Seven Great Elders, would have headaches, and your four Elders would suffer the consequences.” Teacher De stroked his beard and said.

Soul Hall and Nightmare Demon Palace have always been at odds with each other. However, when Elder-level people face Elder-level people of another faction, they still have to show respect. After all, the strong are ultimately strong, regardless of the power they belong to. Any of their main pets could easily crush these Elders, let alone the Venerables who are spoiled by the Seven Great Elders in Soul Hall…

Ye Tao sighed, thinking that if this person was Chen Zun’s child, it would be impossible to reclaim the White Nightmare Demon.

At least as an Elder-level person like Ye Tao, he has no qualifications to claim it. It just depends on whether the Elders of Nightmare Demon Palace have the interest to do so. Unfortunately, the four Elders are not stationed in World City…

With no choice, Ye Tao could only leave with a gloomy face.

…

“It’s resolved, I told you, it’s not a big deal. However, kid, why didn’t you tell me earlier that your White Nightmare Demon has the ability to devour its own kind?” Teacher De approached Chu Mu, laughing and speaking to him.

“I didn’t think it was that important.” Chu Mu replied with an awkward smile.

It turns out that the biggest issue is not him possessing a White Nightmare Demon, but the ability of the White Nightmare Demon to devour its own kind.

“This is very important. White Nightmare Demons that can devour their own kind are called ‘Noble White Nightmare Demons’ by those in the Nightmare Demon Palace. Their noble status allows them to despise all other creatures of their kind and eat them as food.” Teacher De said earnestly.

“I don’t know about this… please explain what a Noble White Nightmare Demon is.” Chu Mu doubted, wondering how his White Nightmare Demon suddenly became a Noble White Nightmare Demon.

“Noble White Nightmare Demons are rare within the White Nightmare Demon species. They mainly excel in Resentment Condensation, Soul Power Devouring, Demon Flame Crystallization, and Same-species Devouring, which makes them stand out from ordinary White Nightmare Demons.”

Resentment Condensation is when these Imperial Clan White Nightmare Demons encounter enemies stronger than themselves; they can increase their strength through Resentment Condensation. The speed at which they enhance their strength is several times that of ordinary White Nightmare Demons…” Teacher De said.

At this point, Chu Mu immediately thought of Jiang Yiteng’s White Nightmare Demon, which had a Resentment Condensation speed three times that of ordinary White Nightmare Demons. It was a Noble White Nightmare Demon as well!

“Soul Power Devouring type Noble White Nightmare Demons are very difficult to raise as they devour a large amount of soul power. They are one of the worst types of White Nightmare Demons to raise. Their special trait is that they grow and metamorphose quickly because of their voracious appetite.”

Others’ White Nightmare Demons take six to seven years to reach the Tenth Rank, even with constant battling. In contrast, this type of White Nightmare Demon only takes three to four years, making their noble nature extremely significant!

“A Demon Flame Crystal type Noble White Nightmare Demon, this one is amazing. They have a natural control over Power Crystals that is one level higher than the average White Nightmare Demon. This means their natural Combat Power Level is a High-Level Monarch!”

The White Nightmare Demon’s Species Ranking is that of an Intermediate Monarch. Just imagine having a natural Combat Power Level of a High-Level Monarch… It needs no further explanation.

“Lastly, there’s the Same-species Devouring type. This is the most dangerous Noble White Nightmare Demon! This type of White Nightmare Demon is rare to be raised and used for soul contracts by the Nightmare Demon Palace…” Teacher De said.

Chu Mu was struck dumb, wondering how there could be such powerful soul pets in this world that aren’t made for signing soul contracts with?

“If they aren’t used for soul contracts, then what are they used for?” Chu Mu asked curiously.

“I don’t know about that. In any case, there are very few strong people who survive after forming a soul contract with them. Among them, the Demon Emperor Bai Yu of the Nightmare Demon Palace, who is even more powerful than the King, was once thought to have tamed a Same-species Devouring type Noble White Nightmare Demon. But later… this caused a huge uproar, even affecting our Soul Hall severely… Sigh, there’s no need for you to know this at your age.” Teacher De said.

Teacher De sighed as he recalled the past, his face revealing the pain of reminiscence.

After a while, Teacher De regained his composure and looked at Chu Mu, saying, “Devouring-type White Nightmare Demons are very dangerous. You’d better discuss it with your mother and decide whether or not to remove the soul contract. Otherwise, there will be big trouble in the future. Don’t think that just because you can control it now, you are its master…”

“It’s impossible to remove the soul contract. I will control it myself, so Teacher De doesn’t need to worry,” Chu Mu said.

If Teacher De knew that Chu Mu’s white demon was the descendant of White Prince’s perverted White Nightmare Demon, he would definitely force Chu Mu to remove the soul contract!

“Well, you should discuss it with your mother anyway.” Teacher De didn’t say much more.

“By the way, Ye Tao is an elder of the Nightmare Demon Palace after all. Why is he afraid of my identity? Is the position of Palace Venerable really that high?” Chu Mu asked curiously.

“That has to do with the origin of the Nightmare Demon Palace and our Soul Hall. In fact, at the very beginning, the Soul Hall had eight diagrams of the Sacred Beasts. Guess what the eighth diagram is…” Teacher De asked.

Chu Mu shook his head. He only learned about the Seven Diagram Sacred Beasts when he came to World City, so how could he know about the suddenly added eighth diagram of the Sacred Beasts?

“Young Master, the eighth diagram is the White Nightmare Demon!” Fox Elder’s voice slowly drifted out.

“White Nightmare Demon!!” Chu Mu was astonished. The eighth diagram of Soul Hall is actually the White Nightmare Demon!!

Aren’t the Seven Diagram Holy Pets of Soul Hall completely opposed to the Nightmare Demon Clan? How did they all become part of the same family?

“In the early days, the Nightmare Demon Palace and the Soul Hall were of the same clan. The eight Sacred Beast diagrams included the White Nightmare Demon. Because Nightmare Demons are such evil creatures and often killed their masters, the top echelons at the time decided to remove the White Nightmare Demon from the eight Sacred Beast diagrams…”

“The earliest founders of the Nightmare Demon Hall, Hall Lords, Elders and Grand Elders were also the founders of the Nightmare Demon Palace. After they became independent, they formed their own faction. After thousands of years, on one hand our Soul Hall declined, on the other hand, the Nightmare Demon Clan is indeed very strong, especially with the appearance of the more easily controlled Blue Nightmare Demon and Green Nightmare Demon sub-clans, the Nightmare Demon Palace’s status has been rising. Now they are on par with our Soul Hall.”

Chu Mu was too stunned to speak, he never would have thought that the Nightmare Demon Palace and Soul Hall had such a deep connection!

“Our Soul Hall Elder positions correspond to the Elder positions in the Nightmare Demon Palace, but the Nightmare Demon Palace does not have designated Venerable positions. There’s a reason for that. The Venerable positions are the inheritance from the ancient period when the Soul Hall possessed the Eight Diagram Sacred Beasts. In other words, the Honorable Positions of Soul Hall represent the most ancient and highest positions in the Soul Hall and the Nightmare Demon Palace. The Nightmare Demon Palace can disrespect us, the people of the Seven Diagram Holy Temples, but they dare not disrespect the Venerable position holders, not even the Demon Emperor,” Teacher De explained.

“If Teacher De hadn’t said that, I never would have thought of it,” Chu Mu exclaimed.

“Venerable position inheritance is very complicated; most of them are determined at birth… Also, the Venerable position holders have a clear rule that they cannot marry…” Teacher De said seriously.

“…” Unable to marry, Chu Mu was suddenly speechless.

If Venerable position holders could not marry, then where did he come from? What was his father’s deal? Was his mother a sham?

Seeing Chu Mu’s surprised expression, Teacher De laughed heartily and said, “You are the only child of the Venerable position holders, and there is a very interesting story behind it that also left all the Grand Elders speechless.”

Chu Mu immediately straightened up, it was obvious that Teacher De was about to disclose the story about his father and mother!

“Our Soul Hall has an ancient rule that Venerable position holders cannot marry, so they must be chaste. From a young age, your mother was identified as Chen Zun. She received the inheritance of teachings and the highest ability to control the Seven Diagram Holy Pets. In addition to her powerful Seven Diagram Holy Pets, she is an untainted woman…” Teacher De said.

Chu Mu quickly thought of his mother, who did seem to be unworldly, if one didn’t consider her aloof attitude.

“Later, she met your father. I’m not sure exactly what happened… Anyway, Madame became pregnant. This is a grave sin that has been committed, and all the Eleven Grand Elders of the Soul Hall and Nightmare Demon Palace have made it clear that either her Chen Zun position must be removed or the child cannot be kept.”

Chu Mu’s expression twitched. So, was he supposed to have been aborted back then? Curse those ancient rules!

“Cultivating a Female Superior takes more than a dozen years, and it is very difficult to find someone who can truly inherit it. So the Chen Zun position cannot be changed…”

“So how did I come into existence?” Chu Mu asked.

“Haha, that’s the most interesting part,” Teacher De suddenly laughed.

“…” Chu Mu felt even more embarrassed. What was so funny here?

“Your father is such an interesting man. Faced with eleven Grand Elders from our Soul Hall and the Nightmare Demon Palace, your father righteously said, ‘The Soul Hall’s ancient rules state that Venerable position holders cannot marry, but they don’t say they can’t get pregnant!\'” Teacher De laughed, his face full of wrinkles.

They can’t marry, but there’s no rule saying they can’t get pregnant!!

Chu Mu couldn’t help but admire this old man’s ability to find loopholes!! (
